linking to metro areas or cities
Is there an opinion on weather we should link to the metropolitan area articles or to the straight to the city articles. I'm thinking we might link to the metros for St. Louis and Kansas City, but link to the city articles for the others, just because, the metro area articles are either non-existent or poorly developed for the smaller cities. Grey Wanderer | Talk 03:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

--in every case the metro areas are larger than the cities. a metro is by definition not just A city. Linking to a city falsely makes the city the metro. User:flyingember

I've changed the "metros" subtitle to "largest cities" and linked "largest cities" to List of cities in Missouri. Grey Wanderer | Talk 22:32, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

List of Missouri counties
Thanks -- I overlooked the mis-alphabetization in the county list. I took it directly from the list of missouri counties, so someone needs to change that article, too. jaknouse 02:18, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

 * List of Missouri counties has been changed. Thank you, P æ dia 17:32, 2004 May 20 (UTC)

Metros
I added the metro areas in by 2003 population size. I don't expect the rankings to change much anytime soon. -flyingember

WikiProject U.S. states/state templates lists and displays all 50 U.S. state (and additional other) templates. It potentially can be used for ideas and standardization. //MrD9 07:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The metro areas are in order by census size. Columbia is smaller today than the Joplin area was 3 years ago and both have grown.  Please keep the order as is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyingember (talk • contribs)

 * The order is now alphabetized, as specified by the standards for state templets. In addition only United States metropolitan areas are listed.  This is a fair way to avoid arguments about size and importance. Grey Wanderer 22:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh if anyone is interested here is a list of all Missouri MSAs: Grey Wanderer 22:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Once again, state templets contain the cities and counties in alphabetical order, please don't change this, I'm willing to debate whether we should link to cities or metro areas. Grey Wanderer | Talk 03:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Standardization of state templates
There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding standardization of state templates (primarily regarding layout and styling) at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. states/state templates. An effort was made earlier this year to standardize Canadian province templates (which mostly succeeded). Lovelac7 and I have already begun standardizing all state templates. If you have any concerns, they should be directed toward the discussion page for state template standardization. Thanks! — Webdinger BLAH 22:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Added a topics section and alphabetized metro areas Grey Wanderer 22:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Large cities
The largest cities are added by the latest census data and is limited to the top 25.

 * I removed where someone added in their hometown on the end of the list.

To the above item, My apologies. I was new to the website, and was not sure how to add a city. I knew it should be up there because Belton is bigger than Raytown, a listed city. --Geobeedude 20:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Only metros areas are listed now (United States metropolitan area). Grey Wanderer 22:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Large Cities
Sedalia is NOT anywhere near the top 25 cities by size in the state. Please consult with census data before changing this list. The 2006 estimates were used for the current order.

Addition of Pony Express Region to "Regions"
Unless there is a page for Pony Express Region it should not be added to the regions section. The St. Joseph, Missouri Metropolitan Area is already linked once in the template. If you feel that Pony Express Region deserves an article create one, however I'm not sure that Pony Express Region is anything more than another description for the St. joseph and surrounding areas, you will probably need a stronger source than just a tourism department with that title or the article will most likely be deleted. Grey Wanderer | Talk 19:13, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

 * update: I've created Pony Express Region as a redirect to St. Joseph, Missouri Metropolitan Area (which incidentally I renamed from St. Joseph metropolitan area). Grey Wanderer | Talk 19:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

It covers more than just St Joseph.

--flyingember
 * I'm fine with adding it if it has its own article, there is no reason to link St. Joseph, Missouri Metropolitan Area twice. Beware if you create the article, organizations Missouri Prayer and Mo bankers association are not appropriate sources. Grey Wanderer | Talk 04:42, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I see you chaged the redirect, looks good. I did remove Great River Road as it really doesn't qualify as a region Grey Wanderer | Talk 04:42, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Gurkha

Hello Gurkha, I just reverted your spelling change on Sniper, because 'materiel' was not incorrect. 'Materiel' with an 'e' is a military term meaning all the physical equipment of war, usually contrasted with 'personnel'. So saying that a weapon is 'anti-materiel' means that it is intended to destroy equipment rather than shoot people. Of course, this distinction should probably be explained somewhere but there's a heck of a lot of work to do on that article and it's way down my list. Securiger 02:19, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

Angolan Portuguese

Portuguese is the official language of Angola. Angolan Portuguese (português de Angola) is a group of dialects and accents of Portuguese used in Angola. In 2005 it was used there by 60% of the population, including by 20% as their first language. The 2016 CIA World Fact Book reports that 12.3 million, or 47% of the population, speaks Portuguese as their first language. However, many parents raise their children to speak only Portuguese. The 2014 census found that 71% speak Portuguese at home, many of them alongside a Bantu language, breaking down to 85% in urban areas and 49% in rural areas.

There are different stages of Portuguese in Angola in a similar manner to other Portuguese-speaking African countries. Some closely approximate Standard Portuguese pronunciation and are associated with the upper class and younger generations of urban background. Angola is the country with the second-highest number of Portuguese speakers, behind only Brazil.

Phonology
The standard phonology in Angola is based on the European standard, as in the rest of Lusophone Africa. Vernacular accents share similarities with Brazilian Portuguese and these similar features have historical reasons. As with Portuguese spoken in Mozambique, the Portuguese spoken in Angola is influenced by Bantu languages. However, the contemporary Standard European Portuguese is the preferred pronunciation, as such it has become a transitional dialect somewhat midway between the European and Brazilian varieties.

Vowels

 * The close central vowel occurs only at final, unstressed syllables, e.g. presidente.
 * The open vowels and  merge to, and likewise  appears only in unstressed final syllables, unlike in European Portuguese, where it occurs in most unstressed syllables, e.g. rama . The nasal  becomes open.
 * In vernacular varieties, the diphthong is typically monophthongized to, e.g. sei  <.
 * In vernacular varieties, the diphthong  is typically monophthongized to, e.g. sou  <.

Consonants

 * is often realised as, e.g. ninho , and nasalizes the vowel that precedes it.
 * Word-final  is dropped, especially by people who speak Portuguese as their second language.

Lexicon
Although most of the vocabulary is the same as in Portugal, Brazil or Mozambique, there are differences, many due to the influence of African languages spoken in Angola. In the capital, Luanda, indigenous languages are practically nonexistent.

Examples of words borrowed from Kimbundu into Angolan Portuguese include: {{legend|#9bbae1|Official language but not majority native language}}]]quinda 'basket'
 * cubata 'house'
 * muamba 'chicken stew'
 * [[File:AngolaLanguageMap.png|thumb|Situation of Portuguese in each province of Angola: {{legend|#045a8d|Official majority language}}
 * umbanda, milongo 'medicine'
 * quituxe 'crime'

Impact
Many words of Angolan origin are used in other variants of Portuguese. Among these words are bunda (backside or "bottom"); fuba [fubá in Brazil] (maize flour); moleque ("kid"); kizomba and kuduro.

Various aspects of Brazilian culture – samba, candomblé and capoeira – all bear linguistic traces of this contact. In Portugal, Angolan Portuguese has had a large influence on the vernacular of the younger population, contributing significant amounts of lexicon. Examples include:
 * bazar ("to go away/home")
 * garina ("girl")
 * bumbar ("to work" in Angola, "to party" in Portugal; sometimes spelt as bombar)
 * bué ("many", "a lot")
 * iá ("yes")

Many of these words and expression made their way to Portugal through immigration of black Angolans as a result of the Angolan civil war.

Trifascicular block

Trifascicular block is a problem with the electrical conduction of the heart, specifically the three fascicles of the bundle branches that carry electrical signals from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles. The three fascicles are one in the right bundle branch, and two in the left bundle branch the left anterior fascicle and the left posterior fascicle. A block at any of these levels can cause an abnormality to show on an electrocardiogram.

The most literal meaning of trifascicular block is complete heart block: all three fascicles are blocked. A second, and clinically distinct, definition of trifascicular block is a circumstance in which right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left bundle branch block occur in the same patient, but at distinct points in time. For example, a patient that is found to have a RBBB one day and a LBBB another can be said to have "alternating bundle branch blocks". In this context, because all three fascicles show evidence of block at different points in time, the term trifascicular block is often used.

Finally, the third meaning of trifascicular block refers to a specific finding on an electrocardiogram in which bifascicular block is observed in a patient with a prolonged PR interval (first degree AV block).

The treatment of trifascicular block is highly dependent on which clinical entity (one of the three above) is being described.

Diagnosis
An electrophysiology study of the conduction system can help discern the severity of conduction system disease. In an electrophysiology study, trifascicular block due to AV nodal disease is represented by a prolonged AH interval (denoting prolonged time from impulse generation in the atria and conduction to the bundle of His) with a relatively preserved HV interval (denoting normal conduction from the bundle of His to the ventricles). Trifascicular block due to distal conduction system disease is represented by a normal AH interval and a prolonged HV interval. In the absence of symptoms, a prolonged AH interval is likely benign while a prolonged HV interval is almost always pathologic.

Treatment
An implantable cardiac pacemaker or permanent pacemaker is recommended in the following clinical circumstances. Class 1 recommendation is the strongest recommendation. Level A evidence is the highest level of evidence.

Class I
 * Bifascicular block + complete heart block, even in the absence of symptoms (1b)
 * Bifascicular block + 2nd degree AV Block Type 2, even in the absence of symptoms (1b)
 * Alternating bundle branch blocks, even in the absence of symptoms (1c)

Class II
 * Bifascicular block + syncope + alternative causes ruled out (e.g. orthostasis, arrhythmia) (2a)

Class III (i.e. pacemaker not recommended)
 * Bifascicular block without symptoms
 * Bifascicular block + 1st degree AV Block, without symptoms

Philip Herbert Cowell

Philip Herbert Cowell FRS (1870 – 1949) was a British astronomer.

Philip Herbert Cowell was born in Calcutta, India on the 7 August 1870, and educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. He became second chief assistant at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in 1896 and later became the Superintendent of HM Nautical Almanac Office between 1910 and 1930. He worked on celestial mechanics, and orbits of comets and minor planets in particular. He also carefully studied the discrepancy that then existed between the theory and observation of the position of the Moon.

Cowell was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society on 14 February 1896. On 27 October 1897 he was elected a member of the British Astronomical Association. He was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society on 3 May 1906. In 1911 he won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society.

In 1909, he discovered 4358 Lynn, a 10-kilometer sized main-belt asteroid and member of the Eunomia.

In 1910, for their work on Halley’s Comet Cowell and Andrew Crommelin jointly received the Prix Jules Janssen, the highest award of the Société astronomique de France, the French astronomical society and the Lindemann Prize of the Astronomische Gesellschaft.

He died in Aldeburgh, Suffolk on 6 June 1949. The main-belt asteroid 1898 Cowell is named after him.

Barefoot Contessa

Barefoot Contessa is an American cooking show that aired from November 30, 2002 to December 19, 2021, on Food Network, and is currently the oldest show on the network's daytime schedule. Hosted by celebrity chef Ina Garten, each episode features Garten assembling dishes of varying complexity. Though her specialty is French cuisine, she occasionally prepares American, Asian, British or Italian foods. Her show also gives tips on decorating and entertaining.

The show's title, which comes from the Italian word for countess, was originally used by Garten in her best-selling cookbook, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (1999). The cookbook was in turn named after Garten's specialty food store, which she bought already named in 1978. The store, which is no longer in operation, opened in 1975 and was named after the 1954 film of the same name. Garten sold the store to the employees prior to its closure.

Overview
Garten's show features the preparation of a simple multi-course meal, usually for her close friends, colleagues or husband, Jeffrey. Her recipes often include fresh herbs, which she 'hand-harvests' from her backyard garden. Table settings include both simple and comfort dishes, and are often accompanied by her 'own' flowers or those brought in by Michael Grim, a friend and local florist who is frequently on the show.

Garten deconstructs simple French recipes like boeuf bourguignon or Baba au Rhum cake. She focuses on preparing foods efficiently, allowing more time to eat and spend with guests.

The show is mainly recorded in Garten's home in East Hampton, New York and features fast-moving camera shots and closeups (e.g., fully ripened fruits, eggs falling from the shells, or bubbling pots of homemade stock).

International airings
Barefoot Contessa airs in Australia on Food Network (Australia) and the Lifestyle Food Channel on the Foxtel platform, in the UK on the Food Network UK, in Poland on the channel Kuchnia.tv, and in the Middle East on the Fatafeat Channel.

Awards and nominations
The show was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in 2005 in the category Best Service Show; in the year 2009, it was once again nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in the categories of Outstanding Culinary Program and Best Culinary Host; Garten won her first Emmy in the latter category.

Talk:Dubuque, Iowa

Untitled
I've lived near Dubuque for most of my life (execpt a few years when I was away). I've been working to put more information on the area on this site. But even as long as I've been here, I don't know everything about the city. So if there's anything that needs to be corrected, please feel free to do so.

I added a little bit more on the history tonight, and moved a couple pictures around. In regards to the visit of Bush in May of 2004, I hope I just reported what happened, and that people don't think that I had a bias against Bush that showed in the article just because it didn't really paint him in the best light.

 * JesseG 02:24, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

I added some more information of the political climate of Dubuque. Specifically on how the area has been a stronghold for the Democrats over the years.

Another thing I noticed while reading through the article was on the historic preservation controversy in the city. I think that demolishing the old Merchant's Hotel was about the best thing to have been done in the downtown area. The hotel had basically been allowed to rot away, but the historic preservation people in the city refused to offer any viable plans to save it, and took the line of they didn't care how bad it got, it was historic and that was good enough for them. I'm all for historic preservation, but not if it's going to be used as an excuse to do nothing and allow buildings to become structually unsound and an eyesore.

 * JesseG 04:54, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I thought there was more than enough in the history section for an article of its own. And it looked like the article size was starting to get up there a bit. So I cut out every thing that was in the History section of the Dubuque article, and placed it in its own article - History of Dubuque, Iowa. JesseG 04:32, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

The sentence

''Land for this project was acquired from several businesses by condemning them through eminent domain. Most saw this action as unlawful and was pursued yet by the city council, most of which were real estates agents and/or had interest in overthrowing the current property owners so that they could invest in the common good of all.''

is rather polemical, definitely not NPOV, but will leave it intact should JesseG want to comment. --FourthAve 7 July 2005 20:31 (UTC)

I left some additional comments here, but I apparently never saved them. Briefly, a link to the wikipedia article on the Archdiocese of Dubuque should be correlated. There are some additional Dubuque links that might also be integrated, particularly in the disambiguation page for searches on _Dubuque_, for the Archdio. as well as the Shot Tower article. --FourthAve 8 July 2005 00:01 (UTC)

Dubuque Greyhound Park and Casino
The Dubuque Greyhound Park and Casino article could probably do with being linked from here, but there isn't an obvious place to put it, so I'll let someone familiar with the article add it. Thryduulf 21:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I removed unsourced statements about Dubuque's population and MSA composition. While Grant County, Wisconsin, and Jo Daviess County, Illinois, are considered part of the Tri-State (or "Tri-States" -- I've seen both ways) area by locals, the federal government considers Dubuque County as the only county in the MSA. Also, if Dubuque's population is indeed 65,500, please provide a source that mentions that since the Census Bureau considers Dubuque's population at 57,798. See the links provided in the footnotes. --Iowahwyman 01:00, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Neighboring towns
Perhaps the sections which have been recently added that include the "neighboring towns" near Dubuque should be deleted. Here's why: the article is about the city of Dubuque itself, not it's surrounding area (to a great extent). Madison, Rockford, and the like really have nothing more to do with Dubuque than they do with Milwaukee or Chicago. If the article on "Dubuque" begins to expand to include the entire region, than the focus will be lost, and it will only have a regional context. There are plenty of things happening IN THE CITY proper, so I think the article should be edited to include info as it relates only to the city, not the region, (other than background on how the city affects its region). DBQer 17:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed it, as well as some of the headers which had no information under them. --Iowahwyman 18:20, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

The article looks much better, without the clutter. Less is more! :) DBQer 20:51, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Please be sure to source statements or facts that you are adding to this article (Why Source?). Any unsourced statements (and there have been many) will be removed. This is an encyclopedia, and personal belief or heresy cannot be presented as fact.

This request was made a while back, but it would probably be a good idea to do this for Dubuque, because the list is pretty long at this point. In fact just by doing a quick comparison based on looks I think Dubuque's list is longer than Des Moines's list. Jamo2008 (talk) 17:48, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Completely inadquate verifiability
Most of the article is not sourced. I added a lot of flags to remind folks. The sloppiness of using present tense without a date adds ambiguity. I will return here periodically, and encourage every editor to remove stuff after some time of warning, if claims aren't verified. This is an encyclopedia not a memory book or advertising site.--Wuerzele (talk) 19:55, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Wikinews demo up and running
Hi!

I'm writing to let you know that the Wikimedia Board of Trustees has approved the first stage of the Wikinews project. There's now a fully operational English demo site at demo.wikinews.org. This will be used for experimenting with various review models and basic policies before the site is launched officially in about a week. demo.wikinews.org will become the English version later. You voted for the Wikinews project, so I'm asking for your participation now. Everything is open, nothing is final. What Wikinews will and can be depends in large part on you. There already is a global Wikinews mailing list for discussing the project. If you are interested at all, please subscribe -- coordination is of key importance. There's also an IRC channel #wikinews on irc.freenode.net. Realtime discussion can help to polish up articles. If you're looking for something to do, check out the articles in development and articles in review. Or start a new story in the Wikinews workspace, or ignore the proposed review system - it's up to you. I hope you'll join us soon in this exciting experiment.--Eloquence* 01:59, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project
Hi. You've helped with the WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Heya Goober, just wondering
Okay, while I could really ask you this on IRC, I'm lazy and just happen to be on Wikipedia now. I'm also unsure if you're currently awake (you're definitely online, if anything), so I'll just do it here. I quote from your user page, "Many of his edits are to the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season articles"... Just wondering, I've never seen you edit the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season or related articles? If you have done, I must've missed it, although I'm interested - what makes you so interested in hurricanes? (Of course, you could ask me that right back... :P) -- NSLE | Talk 10:05, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Goobergunch and ES/PF
Goobergunch clearly has a major personal beef with ES/PF. We've supported ES through a lot, and would like to know why Goobergunch constantly harrasses ES/PF on wikipedia and NS Wikipedia. ES/PF and his allies have done nothing to you Goobergunch, this is flat out wrong. Please explain yourself, as this puts a blot on your reputation. Celtic1

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #1
Number 1, June 4, 2006 The Hurricane Herald This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary of the activities of the WikiProject over the past month and upcoming events over the next month. In addition monthly tropical cyclone activity will be summarized.

You have received this as you are a member of the WikiProject, please add your username in the appropriate section on the mailing list. If you do not add your name to that list, the WikiProject will assume you do not wish to receive future versions of The Hurricane Herald.

Storm of the month Typhoon Chanchu was the first typhoon and first super typhoon of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season. Forming on May 9 over the open western Pacific Ocean, Chanchu moved over the Philippines on the 11th. There, it dropped heavy rainfall, causing mudslides, crop damage, and 41 deaths. It moved into the South China Sea, where it rapidly strengthened to a super typhoon on May 14, one of only two super typhoons recorded in the sea. It turned to the north, weakened, and struck the Fujian province of China as a minimal typhoon on the 17th. The typhoon flooded 192 houses, while heavy rainfall caused deadly mudslides. In China, Chanchu caused at least 25 deaths and $480 million in damage (2006 USD). Elsewhere on its path, strong waves from the typhoon sank eleven Vietnamese ships, killing at least 44 people. In Taiwan, heavy rainfall killed two people, while in Japan, severe waves killed one person and injured another.

Other tropical cyclone activity
 * Tropical Storm Aletta existed in the eastern Pacific Ocean from May 25 to May 29, peaking as a 45 mph tropical storm.

New and improved articles
 * New storm articles include: Typhoon Joan (1970), Hurricane Bonnie (1986), Tropical Storm Matthew (2004), Storm of October 1804, Typhoon Chanchu (2006) and Cyclone Olaf.

 * New non-storm articles include: Tropical cyclone rainfall climatology, Dvorak technique and List of Bangladesh tropical cyclones.

 * New Featured articles: 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Mitch, Hurricane Irene (2005) and Hurricane Claudette (2003)

 * Articles which became A/GA class: Hurricane Katrina (A), Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans (A), Hurricane Felix (1995) (GA), Cyclone Percy (A), Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 (A), List of New Jersey hurricanes (A), Hurricane John (1994) (A), Tropical Storm Isabel (1985) (GA), Tropical Storm Odette (2003) (GA)

New articles and improvements wanted
 * An article is requested on subtropical ridge
 * The current collaboration of the fortnight is Hurricane Gilbert, please help improve this article.
 * Improvements are requested to Indianola Hurricane of 1886, Hurricane Camille and Hurricane Andrew.
 * The WikiProject is likely to submit Hurricane John (1994) and Hurricane Katrina to Featured Article Candidates in the near future, so please help improve them to featured standard.

Member of the month The May member of the month is Tito XD. The WikiProject awards this to him for his brilliant work in improving articles. Tito XD joined the WikiProject in October just after it had been founded. Since then he has contributed substantially to many articles, for example Hurricane Nora (1997), which is currently a Featured Article Candidate. He is also actively involved in the assessment of articles and so helps to improve many more articles.

Explanation of content

If you have a topic which is not directly related to any specific article but is relevant to the WikiProject bring it up on the Newsletters talk page, and it will probably be included in a future edition of The Hurricane Herald.

These two sections are decided by the community on the newsletter's talk page:
 * Storm of the month: This is determined by a straw poll on the page. While all storms will be mentioned on the newsletter, the selected storm will be described in more detail.
 * Member of the month: Nominations are made on the talk page, voting is by secret ballot; read the talk page for details. The winner receives the WikiProject's barnstar (when we make it).

Main Page content
 * 2005 Atlantic hurricane season appeared on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on June 1.
 * Hurricane Floyd will appear on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on June 17.
 * Entries from Dvorak technique, Typhoon Joan (1970), Typhoon Chanchu (2006), and Storm of October 1804 appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during May.
 * Entries from 5 other articles relating to tropical cyclones had appeared in the Did you know column earlier in 2006.

Storm article statistics

The assessment scale
 * The cyclone assessment scale is one of the bases of the new assessment scale for Version 1.0 of Wikipedia. It splits articles into several categories by quality, to identify which articles are "finished" and which ones still need to be improved.
 * The assessment scale by itself counts of several grades:
 * FA: reserved for articles that have been identified as featured content only.
 * A: this grade is given to articles that are considered ready for peer review. The way to get this grade assigned to an article is by asking other cyclone editors at the WikiProject's assessment page.
 * GA: reserved for articles that have passed a good article nomination.
 * B: these articles are "halfway there", and have most of the details of a complete article, yet it still has significant gaps in its coverage.
 * Start: articles that fall in this category have a decent amount of content, yet it is weak in many areas. Be bold and feel free to improve them!
 * Stub: these articles are mostly placeholders, and may in some cases be useless for the reader. It needs a lot of work to be brought to A-Class level.
 * The way to use these assessments is by adding a parameter to the WikiProject template on the articles talk page ( as an example). This feeds the article into a category which is read and parsed to create an assessment table, summary and log.

AfD question: Recombinant text
I have very little experience in AfD matters, and am asking for your input before nominating an article for deletion, because, quite frankly, I do not want to be seen as someone who capriciously nominates articles which do not meet AfD standards.

If you have time, please take a look at this article. It was created by the person who—as the intro asserts—is the very person who coined the term. Most of the edits are by that person. Most, if not all, of the sources link back to this person. I mean, at best it appears to me to constitute OR, at worst, self-promotion. But maybe I'm seeing it wrong. What do you think?

I selected you and many other editors pretty much completely at random; I picked one day's AfD archives, and clicked on the talk pages of the first two or three dozen editors' talk pages I came across. I hope that in using this selection method, I will get editors who are well-versed in AfD policies, yet who also represent a good cross-section of AfD philosophies. I will monitor your talk page for your response. Thanks. Unschool (talk) 07:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:AtlanticHurricaneTrackmap.png

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

NSWIKI
I know this does not really belong here, but given the effort people have undertaken to contact you, I thought I should throw in some dedication too. I'm not sure what happened to nswiki.net, but apparently quite a few people would like to export their stuff from the database if the site is not coming back. This is probably asking for more effort than you're willing to make on something you've moved past in your life, but I hope we can agree on conditions on which you would make that data available again, perhaps if you received compensation for the upkeep of the site? I really hope to hear from you, since all other attempts at contacting you have failed. Thank you for your time. --TheGhostWhoSaysNay (talk) 01:09, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Book of Mormon Languages

This article shouldn't be redirected to Reformed Egyptian. Reformed Egyptian was just the type of writing that was on the Gold Plates. It is also seperate from Linguistics and the Book of Mormon, which deals only with the linguistic authenticity of names, etc. in the Book of Mormon. This article deals with the languages that the Nephites specutively SPOKE, and how they could possibly be related to Hebrew or modern Native American languages. It also deals with the Jaredite's language, which is ENTIRELY unrelated to Reformed Egyptian. - DarkFantasy

 * DarkFantasy, there is no need to repeat the obvious that the Reformed Egyptian article is about the written and this article is supposed to be about the spoken language. The issue is not written vs spoken; the issue is as I stated a day and a half ago that "There is little to no knowledge of the spoken language except speculation."  It is irrelevant that there were not English equivalents (at least until an English equivalent was given during the translation) to the language of the BoM people (like deseret) because that is not very informative about the spoken language.  The Reformed Egyptian and the spoken language (or any other language of the BoM people) may have little to do with each other.  We have no good proof whether the language(s) spoken by the BoM people were Reformed Egyptian, Hebrew, Egyptian, Chinese, Martian or some variation of those; theories that suggest otherwise are mostly speculation. A related counterpoint is that Wikipedia is not primary research which is what this sort of article is about. At this point, we just don't know much about the spoken language of the BoM people. I think it's an interesting topic and I think your suggestion of the article is thoughtful, but there is just nothing really informative to say about it at this point. Both the Linguistics and the Reformed Egyptian articles are broad enough to include matterial about words like deseret, the English equivalent of the Jaredite word which we only know about because the word was written in Reformed Egyptian.  For the reasons stated this article should be redirected or deleted altogether.   —B|Talk 14:42, May 21, 2004 (UTC)

Could we change this to Languages in the Book of Mormon or Languages of the Book of Mormon or something similar? The title as it now stands reads as if there is a book called "Mormon Languages". RickK 00:06, 21 May 2004 (UTC)

 * The current title also violates other Naming conventions (capitalization): "Language" should be lower case "l", for example.  —B|Talk 14:42, May 21, 2004 (UTC)

Ora serrata

The ora serrata is the serrated junction between the choroid and the ciliary body. This junction marks the transition from the simple, non-photosensitive area of the ciliary body to the complex, multi-layered, photosensitive region of the retina. The pigmented layer is continuous over choroid, ciliary body and iris while the nervous layer terminates just before the ciliary body. This point is the ora serrata. In this region the pigmented epithelium of the retina transitions into the outer pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body and the inner portion of the retina transitions into the non-pigmented epithelium of the cilia. In animals in which the region does not have a serrated appearance, it is called the ora ciliaris retinae.

List of Atari Jaguar games

The list of Atari Jaguar games has the complete library of 50 cartridges and 13 CD-ROMs from the console's original 1990s retail release period. The list of canceled games is of those announced or in development but never released. The Jaguar is a fifth generation home video game console developed by Atari Corporation and manufactured by IBM. First released in North America on November 23, 1993, the Jaguar is the fifth home console with the Atari name.

Production of the Jaguar began in the early 1990s by Flare Technology after cancellation of the Panther, and was unveiled at the 1993 Summer Consumer Electronics Show. It became an important platform for Atari, after shifting its focus from computers back to consoles. Atari released the Jaguar to compete with 16-bit and 32-bit consoles such as the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. The Jaguar was marketed as the world's first 64-bit video game system, by adding up its two 32-bit GPU and DSP processors.

The Jaguar's multi-chip architecture proved difficult to program for most developers, and combined with its poor commercial performance on the market and Atari's severely limited financial resources, led to a slow trickle of software and lack of third-party games. This resulted in a limited library of only 50 games on cartridge. Atari attempted to extend the Jaguar's lifespan with the Jaguar CD add-on, with an additional 13 games. However, sales continued to decline with the release of the Sega Saturn and PlayStation in 1995, selling no more than 150,000 units. By 1996, the Jaguar and game development for it were discontinued. The best-selling game is Alien vs Predator, with 52,223 copies as of April 1, 1995.

Atari merged with JT Storage in 1996, and Hasbro Interactive acquired all of Atari's assets after buying out JTS in 1998. Hasbro declared the Jaguar as an open platform in 1999, releasing the console's patents and rights into public domain after much lobbying from Atari fans, allowing software developers to make and release games for Jaguar without requiring a licensing agreement. Following the announcement, hobbyists have released previously finished but unpublished games and produced homebrew games to the Jaguar's cult following.

Cartridge
The official library includes cartridge games.

CD
The official library includes CD-ROM games.

Vasiliy Ulrikh

Vasiliy Vasilievich Ulrikh (Василий Васильевич Ульрих; 13 July 1889 – 7 May 1951) was a senior judge of the Soviet Union during most of the regime of Joseph Stalin. Ulrikh served as the presiding judge at many of the major show trials of the Great Purges in the Soviet Union.

Early life
Vasili Ulrikh was born in Riga, Latvia, then a part of the Russian Empire. His father was a Latvian revolutionary of German descent, and his mother was a Russian noblewoman. Because of their open involvement in revolutionary activity, the entire family was sentenced to a five-year period of internal exile in Irkutsk, Siberia.

In 1910, young Ulrikh returned to his native Riga and began to study at the Riga Polytechnical Institute. He joined the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in the same year.

He graduated in 1914, and with the beginning of World War I he was sent to the front as an officer.

After the Bolshevik Revolution, Leon Trotsky secured him entrance into the Cheka. Ulrikh subsequently served on a number of military tribunals, and came to the attention of Stalin, who apparently liked the efficient way in which he carried out his duties and his terse, even laconic style of reporting these tribunals' actions.

Career
In 1926, Ulrikh became Chairman of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR. It was in this capacity that he handed down the sentences of the Great Purge. Ulrikh sentenced Zinoviev, Kamenev, Bukharin, Tukhachevsky, Rodzaevsky, Beloborodov, Yezhov and many others. He attended the executions of many of these men, and occasionally performed executions himself. Ulrikh personally executed Yan Karlovich Berzin, former head of Red Army Intelligence Directorate, later called GRU.

During World War II, Ulrikh continued to hand down death sentences to people accused of sabotage and defeatism. He was also the chief judge during the Trial of the Sixteen leaders of the Polish Secret State and Home Army in 1945.

After the conclusion of the war, Ulrikh presided over a number of the early trials of the Zhdanovshchina.

In 1948, a number of top judges, including Ulrikh, were removed from their positions for severe drawbacks in the judicial system, including corruption and what were classified as political errors. Ulrikh was subsequently reassigned to be the course director at the Military Law Academy. He died of a heart attack on May 7, 1951, and was buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow.

Opinions
Anton Antonov-Ovseenko labeled him a "uniformed toad with watery eyes." Otto Tief, the last acting prime minister of Estonia before Soviet occupation, described Ulrikh as "a youthful, round-faced and plump blond man in a general's uniform, with a gentle smile on his face."

Talk:Richard Wright (author)

South Side Writers Group
This article should mention somewhere that Wright founded the South Side Writers Group, an influential group of Chicago writers including Lorraine Hansberry, among others. I would insert the information myself if I knew more about the group.

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.252.117 (talk) 03:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

comment
Novelist Richard Wright's first autobiographical account, Black Boy, discussed his life before the move to Chicago as opposed to after the move. So, I think that sentence needs to be fixed.

I have been reading blackboy for an english class, and it describes his life before and after the move to Chicago, although the book is divided into two sections

Removed the word 'unexpectedly' from the final sentence, as it had an 'unexpectedly' comic effect: as in - Richard Wright died in Paris of a heart attack, unexpectedly, at the age of 52. 203.173.49.149 09:07, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Please don't remove my mention of his earning of a Guggenheim Fellowship for Uncle Tom’s Children. Information has to be known, for if It wasn't for the Guggenheim Fellowship, he would not be as great as he turned up to be. Thank you.

Problem with birth date
I have materials stating Richard Wright's birth year as 1906. Can anyone clarify?

 * Can you be more specific about the nature of your materials? I've verified the b. date in a couple of places, including the Library of America edition of his complete works. Gamaliel [[Image:Watchmensmiley20.gif]] 18:18, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Age 1 & ?/12 years on 1910 census. Family was boarding at 272 Washington Avenue, Memphis. Also father Nathan was still with the family and brother Allen is 6 months old and born in Mississippi.Javadane 17:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

No, its 1908 in most sources.72.196.229.15 20:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

"Semi Autobiographical"
Black Boy is presented as an autobiogrophy and the library of congress calls it "a classic of American autobiogrophy." Unless anyone has evidence that portions of the book are fabricated, it should read "autobiographical," not "semi-autobiographical."

 * You're right about this. I've read it and I've never read anything about this that indicated it was semi- and not fully autobigraphical. Gamaliel 03:56, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

 * See "Black Boy: Richard Wright's 'Tragic Sense of Life,' " an essay which discusses the fact that "Richard Wright's friends and critics alike persistently remark that Wright did not actually experience a childhood like that depicted in his autobiography." Another source would be "Telling lies in modern American autobiography" by Timothy Dow Adams. For example the scene in which Wright's Uncle Hoskins drives into the Mississippi River is actually an event which happened to Ralph Ellison. This source also discusses the fact that Wright actually delivered an edited version of his own valedictorian speech as a compromise with his junior high school principle. Amy Hungerford, in her Yale literature course "American Novel since 1945" also discusses the falsehoods and exaggerations in Wright's autobiography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.173.3 (talk) 14:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Survey - in opposition to the move

 * 1) Oppose for the same reason as last time; proposal still violates WP:COMMONNAME. -- Sig Pig  |SEND - OVER 02:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose Yes it does. Who ever calls him this? Aside from his mother when she wanted his attention.... Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose per Sig. Yes, the middle name would make it unique but (as Sept so humorously put it) no one calls him by this name and it contrary to every naming policy. 205.157.110.11 03:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose Policy advises against adding middle names or initials for disambiguation purposes, when those are not commonly used. However, there is a case to be made that he is the primary usage (indeed, the page seems to have been moved here from the undabbed form), and I would be willing to support a move back to the dab page's location, unless someone makes the case that the other Richard Wrights have achieved enough collective prominence to match the author. -- Groggy Dice T | C 16:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think he should be moved back here. I'd never heard of him until I typed in Richard Wright, looking for the Pink Floyd keyboard player. This seems like yet another example of the attempted americanisation of Wikipedia to me. Jcuk (talk) 12:03, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Add any additional comments:

 * How is he shown on his books ? Do any of them use Nathaniel ? -- Beardo 06:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I added him to the agnostics category since his books suggest it.You very nice place 12:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

clean up
This page needs some clean up, it states the same things twice. It looks like two people wrote it, and rather than collaborating, they just put everything in...

When did he move to Memphis?
In Black Boy, he wrote that he stayed in Mississippi until he became independent and then moved to Memphis. cecikierk

Suggested Move
I suggest the article be moved back here from the main name space. I don't doubt his notability, but I DO doubt he's so much more notable than the other notable Richard Wrights that he deserves the main name space. That should be redirected to the already existing disambig page. Jcuk (talk) 00:58, 6 August 2008 (UT

Black Boy as biographical source.
There are a great deal of sources which claim that Black Boy is not a totally accurate source of biographical information for Richard Wright. An important one is "Telling Lies in Modern American Autobiography" by Timothy Dow Adams, which claims that many of the book's events are fabricated (the Uncle Hoskins event happened to Ralph Ellison) or altered (Wright delivered a compromised version of his junior high school valedictorian speech).

See this link: http://books.google.com/books?id=p6YBbKOR81sC&pg=PA73&lpg=PA73&dq=uncle+hoskins+ralph+ellison&source=bl&ots=--9r76k3NX&sig=I6D_aqaY8wH9wchRSJDqQnDG2kI&hl=en&ei=pGZsStLJM4H8tge25vmaAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1

The "Early Life" version of the article in particular needs to be altered to reflect this, and biographical information from another source is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.173.3 (talk) 14:35, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Was Richard Wright influenced by Nietzsche?
Richard Wright was the first African American to write a novel or book

Redundant Picture
The picture of the memorial to Wright in Natchez, MS appears twice; or rather, there are two pictures of the same object in two different sections. Someone should decide which one to keep, and where to put it. 66.41.216.19 (talk) 23:59, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

"helped change race relations"? Do tell.
I'd really like to know how his work "helped change race relations" in the U.S. Any proof? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.151.233 (talk) 07:22, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

What is "plantation"
Wright is described as being from "Plantation" as if that meant something. Obviously being born on a plantation is meaningful, but that doesn't make it a specific place. I've read this as "Rucker's Plantation" in a Black Boy edition, but I still don't see how that supercedes being from Roxie.

That would be like giving a hometown as "Hospital, New York, New York." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.228.28 (talk) 10:03, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

An Approach to Richard Wright’s Novels (2010)
I'm just leaving this as a note in case anybody has the same concern I did... I was Googling about for possible additional references, and I was alarmed to find a lot of the text from this article on Google Books, in what appeared to be an independently self-published book by "Raja Sharma" from 2010. That would have been a messy copyvio to clean up. However, on running a WikiBlame search of the revision history for the term "instant best-seller", I found that that particular text had in fact been composed organically -- there was no tell-tale revision in which the whole section was dumped in. Further, on comparing the date of that revision to the date of "Sharma's" book as listed on Lulu.com (can't link due to blacklisting), the book is dated 2010-12-28 while the revision is dated 2010-12-01.

Thus, it appears that large sections of the article were copied into that book in December 2010, rather than the other way around. -- Visviva (talk) 08:02, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Rayson reference
I was reviewing this reference (Rayson2) for Wright's early childhood: It was formerly a link to Univ. of Illinois--likely something a professor created, but might be student or grad. student. The old url points to a different site, so changed it to go directly to the site it was being directed to. It's unclear to me if this article exists in any form that can be verified, so I tagged the ref with. Any thoughts? --David Tornheim (talk) 22:57, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Head of the River (Australia)

The Head of the River is a name given to annual Australian rowing regattas held in South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia. The regattas feature competing independent schools, and the winner of the 1st division boys or girls race is crowned the "Head of the River".

The name Head of the River is taken from similar regattas held in other countries, including the Head of the River Race held annually on the Thames in London since 1926.

AAGPS Head of the River Regatta
The Head of the River takes place in Penrith, New South Wales, Australia, at the end of the first term (normally in March) at the Sydney International Regatta Centre (SIRC). It is the culmination of the AAGPS (Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools) rowing season and has been held since 1893, initially on the Parramatta River and then from 1936 to 1995 on the Nepean River. On the Nepean, the senior events were the 1st VIII, 2nd VIII, 1st IV, 2nd IV, 3rd IV and 4th IV. The VIIIs rowed over a mile and a half and the IVs over a mile.

In 1996, the regatta was moved to the then preparatory Olympic course and since then raced over 2000 metres. In 2001, a 3rd VIII event and the three-year 10 VIII events were added to the programme.

The competing schools are Sydney Grammar School, The King's School, Newington College, Sydney Boys' High School, The Scots College, St. Joseph's College, Saint Ignatius' College, The Armidale School and Shore School.

NSW Schoolgirl Head of the River Regatta
The NSW Schoolgirl Head of the River was first raced in 1991. The inaugural Schoolgirl Head of the River Regatta took place in October 1991 on Middle Harbour Creek at Davidson Park, Roseville. The regatta is now usually held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre (SIRC), Penrith on the Saturday following the Schoolboy Head of the River. It is the culmination of the Schoolgirls rowing season that involves crews from Independent Schools, Catholic Colleges and State High Schools.

The NSW Schoolgirl Head of the River is organised by the Combined Independent Schools Sports Council. Schools that are eligible to compete in the NSW Schoolgirl Head of the River are all affiliated schools of the NSW Combined Independent Schools Sports Council (NSWCISSC), NSW Combined High Schools Sports Association (NSWCHSSA) and the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Sports Association (NSWCCCSA). The regatta is run in accordance with Rowing NSW laws of boat racing.

In 2018, Pymble Ladies' College won the 1st VIII Race and then went on to win the Australian National Championships.

South Australian School's Head of the River Regatta
The South Australian Head of the River is a collegiate rowing race held between the colleges and schools of Adelaide, Australia. It is the culmination of the Rowing South Australia's schools' season and is the most prestigious event on the calendar. Races are generally hard-fought, close encounters that showcase the very best of junior rowing talent, with the winning 1st VIII crew each year being crowned with the title of 'Head of the River'. Inter and Junior coxed quad crews fight for the same honour in their respective divisions. These title races come with immense pressure, with wins considered significant successes for the victorious schools and their rowing programs. The event draws huge crowds of up to 15,000 (2010) from across the state, generally consisting of school students, parent supporters, and old scholars.

The regatta is currently held at the world standard course at West Lakes International Regatta Centre and involves junior and inter coxed quadruple sculling events over 1,000m and 1,500m respectively, as well as senior coxed four and eight races over 2,000m. The South Australian Head of the River is held on the second-to-last Saturday of the first school term of each year.

The event had its inception on the Torrens Lake in 1922 as the result of a challenge between St. Peters and Adelaide High School. However St. Peters and their traditional rivals Prince Alfred have been racing for the prestigious Blackmore Shield which is to be contested only between the two schools since 1892 as part of their Intercollegiate program. When the Blackmore Shield changes hands, the Captain and Vice-Captain of Boats from the losing school present the shield to their counterparts in front of an assembly of the victorious school. Since 1923 this race has been incorporated into the Boys 1st VIII race at the Head of the River. The trophy presented to the overall winning Schoolboy 1st VIII is the Gosse Shield, which was presented by Sir John Gosse and his family as a perpetual trophy in 1932.

Competing schools are drawn from Adelaide's traditional independent schools and an increasing number of state schools. Since the 1970s the number of girls competing in the regatta has steadily increased; resulting in now larger numbers of female rowers than male competing at the regatta. Seymour College (an all-girls school) gained entry to the regatta in 2006, and Annesley College (an all-girls school) competed for the first time in 2007. Loreto College, Marryatville first competed in 2012 and St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School entered in 2013. Currently 15 schools compete in the regatta: 3 all boys schools, 5 all girls schools and 7 co-educational schools. At the 2019 Head of the River, hosted by Pembroke School, there were a total of 1162 athletes entered into the regatta's 36 events.

Walford Anglican School for Girls has won the Florence Eaton Cup awarded to the winning Schoolgirl 1st VIII crew a record 19 times.

In 2022 Walford's winning time of 6:47.75 was a course record beating the previous record of 6:48.06, held by Walford from 2010.

Until 2005 the Head of the River was officially known as the Public Schools' Regatta. The name has since been changed to the "Schools' Regatta" by the Heads of Rowing Schools Committee, a committee of the Headmasters/Principals of the Head of the River Schools.

Second VIII's
The Clinker IV event was constituted the Second Crews's Race in 1938 and was rowed in eights from 1957.

Open, Under 16 and Under 15
These events were rowed on fixed seats until the introduction of slides for Open and Under 16 Fours in 1937, and Under 15 Fours in 1938. In 1932 and 1933 Open Tub Slides were rowed as well as Open Fixed and were won both years by S.P.S.C.

Under 14 Quad Sculls
Coxed quad sculls replaced sweep oar fours in division A in 1991, division B in 1992, division C in 1993.

South Australian Head of the River – Boys Results
Boys Open First VIII – for The Gosse Shield

Presented in 1932 by the late Sir James Gosse and his family as a perpetual trophy.

The Gosse Shield was presented for the first time in 1932 by James H Gosse (1876–1952), son of William Christie Gosse, the government-appointed surveyor who documented Uluru (Ayers Rock) in 1873.

James and his brother William Hay Gosse (1875–1918 killed in action an WWI) both rowed at St Peter’s College.

James rowed in the First Four in 1895 and 1896 (before the advent of eight-oared schoolboy crews). He went on to row for South Australia in 1902-05 and was the President of the Adelaide Rowing Club. As well as playing football for the Norwood Football Club as a ruckman (1894–1905), he captained Norwood in 1905 as well as the State Team. He was President of Norwood Football Club from 1920-39 and SANFL President from 1945 until his death in 1952.

Sir James Hay Gosse was knighted in 1947 with acknowledgement to his commerce and philanthropy commitment in South Australia

Boys Open Second VIII – for The Wallman Trophy

Presented by the late RH Wallman Esq in 1937 as a perpetual trophy.

Schoolboy 1st IV – for The Cudmore Cup (2,000m)

Presented by Sir Collier Cudmore in 1966 as a perpetual trophy.

Sir Collier Cudmore (1885–1971) was a lawyer and politician was born into a South Australian pastoral family. He was educated St Peter’s College, University of Adelaide and Oxford University (Magdalen College).

Collier rowed for all three institutions as well as influencing the development of the Adelaide Rowing Club.

While at Oxford University, Collier rowed in a particularly fast Magdalen College four which represented Britain in the 1908 London Olympics. The crew won, consequently Collier was the first Australian sweep oarsman to win an Olympic Gold medal.

During First World War Collier commanded an Artillery battery in France and was twice seriously wounded.

Collier maintained active interest in School rowing as a coach and was the Chief Judge of the annual Schools’ Head off the River Regatta for several decades.

Collier believed that the Boys Open Four competition should have a trophy to recognise their particular efforts in school rowing and consequently he presented The Cudmore Cup as a perpetual trophy in 1966.

Queensland Head of the River Regatta
The Head of the River for schoolboys is contested between seven of the nine GPS (Great Public Schools) schools in Brisbane, with schools Brisbane Boys College, Brisbane Grammar School, Brisbane State High School, Anglican Church Grammar School, St. Joseph's College, Gregory Terrace, The Southport School and St. Joseph's Nudgee College competing. The GPS Head of the River has been held since 1918, with Southport winning in the inaugural year. The races have been held on the Milton Reach of the Brisbane River, Wivenhoe Dam, Hinze Dam, Lake Kawana and now race at Wyaralong Dam. Crowds of several thousand attend the annual Championship Regatta at Lake Kawana but in earlier years there are reports of both sides of the river being lined with spectators and tens of thousands attending.

Queensland Girls Head of the River Regatta
On 13 October 1990 the Inaugural Schoolgirls' Head of the River was held on the Milton Reach of the Brisbane River. The seven schools that competed were All Hallows' School, Brisbane State High School, St Aidan's Anglican Girls' School, St Hilda's School, St Margaret's Anglican Girls' School, St Peters Lutheran College and Somerville House. Sixteen events were competed with 118 competitors and 3 entries in the Open 8+. The newly formed Brisbane Schoolgirls Rowing Association conducted the Head of the River with additional competitors from Brisbane Girls' Grammar School, Clayfield College, Indooroopilly State High School, Kelvin Grove State High School and Stuartholme School. By 1992, entries in the Open 8+ had doubled to six, the number of events expanded to 19 and 11 schools competed.

Bundaberg Head of the River Regatta
A 'Head of the River' competition is also held among Bundaberg schools. It is held on an annual basis and has been for the past 18 years. All Bundaberg secondary schools except for the Bundaberg Christian College participate in the regatta. These schools are Bundaberg North SHS, Bundaberg SHS, Kepnock SHS, St. Luke's Anglican College, Gin Gin SHS and Shalom Catholic College. St Luke's Anglican recently broke Shalom's twenty year winning streak over the other schools for the travel world overall points trophy with a score of 123, to 65.

VIC Head of the River Regatta
The Victorian race is contested between the 11 Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS).

The race is usually the last race of the official APS rowing season and has recently been rowed on Lake Nagambie, which is a fully-buoyed international standard course, allowing six boat finals.

VIC Head of the Schoolgirls Regatta
1984 was the final year that girls from non-APS schools participated in the APS Head of the River. As a result of being barred from further competition in the APS regatta, the principal of Morongo Girls' College initiated a meeting that established the Head of School Girls’ Regatta (HOSG), founded on the principle that any school could compete. The first HOSG was held in 1985, on Lake Wendouree in Ballarat, with seven events, 16 participating schools and 240 competitors. In 1987, the event moved to the Barwon River in Geelong. In 1991, the HOSG Regatta Committee became an incorporated association. In 2013, the HOSG regatta was contested by 35 schools and 1766 competitors.

WA Head of the River Regatta
The Perth race held in late summer/early autumn is contested between the 7 Public Schools Association members. The regatta consists of many races with points contributing to the Hamer Cup, and in the final race of the day, the 1st VIII crews from each school compete for the Head of the River trophy. Originally the race was run on the Swan River then Canning River, near Canning Bridge. Since 2009 the event has been held at the purpose built rowing course at Champion Lakes, Kelmscott. Records have tumbled since the venue change with records set in 2009 and 2010. The current record time for the 2000m event is 5 minutes 48.2 seconds set by Trinity College.

WA Head of the Schoolgirls Regatta
In the winter several private Perth girls schools race for the title.

Tasmania
The Tasmanian Head of the River is currently held at the Lake Barrington Rowing Course. Held over the full championship distance, the schools associated with SATIS (Sports Association of Tasmanian Independent Schools) from both the north and south of the state compete for the event. The Hutchins School, Launceston Church Grammar, The Friends School, Guilford Young College, Scotch Oakburn College, St Patrick's College and St Brendan-Shaw College all compete in the boys race, while St Michael's Collegiate School, The Friends School, Fahan School, Scotch Oakburn College, St. Patrick's College, St Mary's College and Launceston Church Grammar all compete for the girls trophy.

The Head of the River regatta is often held the Saturday before Easter. However, in 2006 the Head of the River was postponed for the first time in its Tasmanian History with a limited regatta program being amalgamated in to the Tasmanian Masters Regatta. This was able to cater for the main races with Hutchins taking out the boys' Head of the River trophy and St Michael's Collegiate School the girls.

In 2007 Scotch Oakburn won their first Head of the River in a decade in a tight race with just a second between themselves, Launceston Church Grammar and The Hutchins School. The chance for Hutchins to claim their 5th consecutive title was denied. The Friends School came a distant 4th place after much hype. In the girls event the dominant Friends School crew won easily over Launceston Church Grammar with surprise combination coming from Fahan School gaining second place.

In 2008, The Hutchins School regained the title from Scotch Oakburn in a close race, with St Patricks college in third.

The following year, The Hutchins School won after being challenged all season by a strong St Patricks College crew. In third spot was Scotch Oakburn College.

In 2010 The Hutchins School won, having dominant performances throughout the season. Scotch Oakburn collected up second spot and the Friends crew came in third.

The 2011 Tasmanian School Boys Head of the River saw yet another dominant performance from The Hutchins School taking the win by 10 seconds from Scotch Oakburn with Friends placing third. In girls race the victors were Grammar with Scotch Oakburn placing second.

In 2012, the Head of the River Champions were Launceston Church Grammar for the girls and The Hutchins School for the boys.

In 2013, The underdog crew from Scotch Oakburn took out the Head of the River by a margin of 2 lengths to The Hutchins School, who had a dominant season and went into the race as favourites. This prevented Hutchins from a 6th title, and gave Scotch Oakburn their first win in 6 years. Closely in 3rd, The Friends School.

Peter Hume (politician)

Peter Ernest Hume (born June 19, 1963) was a city councillor in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He represented Alta Vista Ward in the south end of the city. He was considered by some to have been "the most respected politician in Ottawa".

Hume grew up in the Canterbury area of Alta Vista Ward. He attended Hawthorne Public School and Canterbury High School before graduating with a degree in Economics from Carleton University. He would then work as an assistant to Canterbury Ward councillor Michael McSweeney and then Alta Vista Ward councillor Darrel Kent.

Hume was first elected as a city and regional councillor in 1991. In 1994 he was elected to the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton council (when it became an independently elected position). He was re-elected in 1997. In the 2000 Ottawa election, he chose to run against Ottawa city councillor Allan Higdon for city council, as the City of Ottawa and the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton were set to amalgamate the following year. He was able to defeat Higdon, and was acclaimed three years later in the 2003 Ottawa election. In 2002, Hume contributed $362.26 to the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leadership campaign of Jim Flaherty. Hume is generally considered to be a "red Tory", who "votes in favour of social spending, but talks convincingly about fiscal responsibility."

In 2004, Hume allowed a private developer to hold a private party to raise money to pay off a debt Hume had received from running for President of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. Both Hume and the host of the party has refused to reveal the guest list to that event. Hume would later serve as President from 2008 to 2011.

Hume was easily re-elected in the 2006 municipal elections with 70% of the vote and again in 2010 with 59% of the vote. Hume is currently the Chair of the City of Ottawa's Planning Committee, a position he has held since 2003.

On August 22, 2014, Hume announced he would not be seeking re-election as councillor.

In 2015, Hume partnered with former Minto vice-president, Jack Stirling, in a "strategic partnership to pursue development projects and to advise both the private and public sector." Stirling, the old City of Nepean’s last planning commissioner before amalgamation, is well-known as another former local bureaucrat who jumped the fence in 2001 to work for Minto as vice-president of development, using his experience to stickhandle development proposals through the city’s approvals process.

In 2017, Hume was named as the first chair of a new municipal services corporation which will run the ByWard Market and Parkdale Market.
