USS Insurgent

L'Insurgente was a 40-gun Sémillante-class frigate of the French Navy, launched in 1793. During the Quasi War with the United States, the United States Navy frigate USS Constellation (1797), with Captain Thomas Truxtun in command, captured her off the island of Nevis. After her capture she served in the United States Navy as USS Insurgent, patrolling the waters in the West Indies. In September 1800 she was caught up in a severe storm and was presumed lost at sea.

French frigate L'Insurgente
L'Insurgente was built by Pierre-Joseph Pénétreau at Lorient and launched on 27 April 1793.

In January or February 1794, L'Insurgente captured Ann off Cape Clear Island as Ann was sailing from Newfoundland to Bristol. L'Insurgente put a prize crew aboard Ann, but left her mate and three other men on board. When Ann was in sight of the French coast, the British sailors succeeded in recapturing her from the prize crew; the British then took Ann into Vigo.

On 16 January 1794 L'Insurgente captured the American ship John and James and brought her into Brest. John and James had been built at Philadelphia for George Morrison of Petersburg, Virginia. She had left Petersburg with 450 hogsheads of tobacco and 12,000 staves. On 27 December 1794 the Tribunal of Commerce ordered John and James released to Captain James Johnson and the Committee of Public Safety awarded him a payment of 20,000 livres tournois.

On 25 April L'Insurgente captured Freundschaft Lourentz, Colandt, master, as Freundschaft Lourentz was sailing from Lisbon to London. However two "Scilly boats" (i.e., boats from the Isles of Scilly), recaptured her the next day and brought her into St Ives, Cornwall.

On 5 December 1797 Insurgente captured Prince Frederick as Prince Frederick was returning from Madras and Bengal. Prince Frederick was so badly damaged in the engagement that she sank soon afterwards. Her people, however, were saved. The EIC put a value of £59,981 on the cargo that it had lost.

US-French Quasi War: On 20 November, 1798 she captured USS Retaliation off Guadalupe. "Insurgente" was transporting General Desfourneaux from France, via Cayenne, French Guiana, to Guadalupe to replace Victor Hugues as Governor. After dropping off Desfourneaux she returned Hugues to France and returned to Guadeloupe.

Battle with Constellation
On 9 February 1799, after being at sea for three days, USS Constellation (1797) spotted L'Insurgente approximately 6 league northeast off Nevis. L'Insurgente, a fully-rigged frigate, was considered one of the fastest sailing vessels in the world at the time; three weeks earlier she had encountered Constellation but was able to outrun her and escape. Shortly after being spotted by Constellation this second time the ships encountered a squall during which a violent gust of wind snapped L'Insurgente's main topmast, impairing her speed. As Constellation approached, Captain Michael-Pierre Barreaut first attempted to seek haven by making for St. Eustatius, but to no avail, where L'Insurgente hauled wind and assumed a starboard tack. After being overtaken she hoisted American colors, at which time Constellation hoisted the private signals. Unable to respond appropriately, she gave up her attempt at disguise and Captain Barreaut ordered the French tri-colors hoisted and a gun fired to windward to signal the challenge where L'Insurgente boldly sat in wait to be engaged. This was the first time since the American Revolution that a shot had been fired from an enemy vessel at an American ship. Captain Thomas Truxtun gave the order to clear the deck of Constellation for action and the boatswain sounded the whistle. Both ships bore up to take positions to engage. Constellation fired the first broadside, double-shotted, inflicting much damage to the French vessel's hull and killing many in the first minute of the engagement. L'Insurgente responded and fired a broadside, inflicting much damage to Constellation's rigging and fore topmast, which was almost cut off. At 3:30 pm after an hour and a half of running battle and several raking broadsides from Constellation, L'Insurgente struck her colors. First Lieutenant John Rodgers, Midshipman David Porter along with eleven men were put on board the captured vessel to take possession and to secure the prisoners who were sent to the lower hold. She had lost 70 men from a crew of 409, while Constellation, badly damaged also, only lost three out of a complement of 309. This was the first post-Revolutionary War American victory against a foreign naval vessel.

There were no handcuffs to be found and the prisoners seem disposed to rebel. Accordingly, Rodgers placed sentries at the hatch, armed with blunderbusses and under orders to open fire should the prisoners attempt to breach the hatch way.

Service in US Navy
The US Navy considered Insurgent a prize in the Quasi-War with France. The frigate was taken to the West Indies and refitted for service in the young American navy. She cruised under Lt. John Rodgers in company with Constellation until May 1799. On 17 April, 1799 she and USS Constellation captured French letter of marque schooner Diligente off Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe. Ordered back to the United States, Insurgent was purchased by the Navy for $84,500. Commissioned with Captain Alexander Murray in command, Insurgent sailed from Hampton Roads for Europe and the Caribbean on 14 August 1799. She arrived at Lisbon, Portugal on 13 September, She departed on 17 September with HMS HMS Phaeton (1782) for the Straits of Gibraltar. She arrived at Cadiz, Spain on 23 Sept., and was off Algeciras 24-28. Proceeded on to Cape Spartel, Madieras, Tenerife, and on to Cayanne, Surinam and Barbados. On 14 November she recaptured British brig "Margaret" captured the day before by a French privateer. On 20 November she and USS USS Adams (1799) off Guadeloupe recaptured schooner "Nancy", captured on 18 November by a French privateer. On 10 December she was off St. Pierre. On 28 December she recaptured merchantman "Commerce" that had been captured by a french privateer off Antigua earlier in the day. On 22 or 23 January, 1800 she recaptured schooner "Aurora". On 5 February while sailing to Jamaica she came across dismasted USS Constellation (1797), heavily damaged in a battle with French heavy frigate FRENCH FRIGATE La Vengeance, limping to Jamaica. She escorted her to Jamaica. She then proceeded to head for home and was 15 leagues west of Havana, Cuba on 27 February. Cruising in European waters during the winter of 1799–1800, the frigate captured the French ship Vendémiaire and recaptured the American ships Angora, and William and Mary. She arrived in the Patapsco River on 13 March, 1800 after being damaged in rough weather off Cape Hatteras.

Loss
On 29 April 1800 Patrick Fletcher assumed command and was ordered to cruise between the West Indies and the American coast to protect American shipping interests and to capture any enemy vessels he encountered. Insurgent departed Baltimore on 22 July and after a brief stop at Hampton Roads sailed for her station 8 August 1800. She was never heard from again, and the frigate and her crew were presumed lost during the severe storm that struck the West Indies on 20 September 1800. This storm is also thought to have sunk USS Pickering, which likewise vanished without a trace.

Randolph Air Force Base

Randolph Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base located at Universal City, Texas (14.8 mi east-northeast of Downtown San Antonio).

Opened in 1931, Randolph has been a flying training facility for the United States Army Air Corps, the United States Army Air Forces, and the Air Force during its entire existence.

On 1 October 2010, Randolph AFB merged with Lackland Air Force Base and the US Army's Fort Sam Houston to form Joint Base San Antonio.

Etymology
Randolph AFB was named after Captain William Millican Randolph, a native of Austin, who was on the base naming committee at the time of his death in a crash.

The base served as headquarters of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) as well as the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) and was known as "the Showplace of the Air Force" because of the Spanish Colonial Revival Style architecture in which all structures, including hangars were constructed. The symbol of the base was a large water tower atop Building 100, housing the headquarters for Randolph's major flying unit, the 12th Flying Training Wing (12 FTW). With its distinctive architecture, the wing's headquarters became known throughout the Air Force as "the Taj Mahal," or simply "The Taj".

1920s and 1930s
The idea for Randolph began soon after passage in the United States Congress of the Air Corps Act of 1926, which changed the name of the Army Air Service to the Army Air Corps, created two new brigadier general positions and provided a five-year expansion program for the under-strength Air Corps. One of the new general officer positions was given to Frank P. Lahm, who was placed in charge of all flying training.

General Lahm established the Air Corps Training Center in August 1926 and set up its headquarters at Duncan Field, next to Kelly Field, Texas. He soon learned that the facilities at Kelly and Brooks Fields were not sufficient for proper training. The buildings, erected during World War I with a life expectancy of five years, had no suitable areas for ground training, and the living quarters were inadequate. San Antonio's rapid growth was also beginning to interfere with flying training operations. Maj. Gen. Mason Patrick, Chief of the Air Corps, visited San Antonio in December and recommended that an additional training field be built, and in April 1927 a board of officers appointed by Gen. Lahm approved an unusual circular layout.

In 1927, newly assigned to Kelly Field as a dispatch officer in the motor pool, First Lieutenant Harold Clark designed a model four-quadrant airfield having a circular layout of facilities between parallel runways, after learning a new field was to be constructed. Having trained as an architect prior to entering the military during World War I, Clark sketched ideas for a perfect "Air City" on the back of old dispatch sheets, aligning the runways with prevailing winds and placing facilities by function between the runways to keep planes from having to make landing approaches over hangars, as they were forced to do at Kelly. Clark took his drawings to Lahm's executive officer, who immediately brought him before the planning board. On 1 November 1927, Clark submitted a finished plan to Lahm, and impressed with Clark's designs, Lahm detailed him to ACTC Headquarters on 8 December, to revise and develop the plans.

The Military Affairs Committee of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce quickly took the forefront in the search for an airfield location, which had to be suited to the airfield design, rather than the other way around as commonly done. A site east on San Antonio was chosen in May 1927 but rejected for those reasons. A second site near Schertz, Texas, was acquired and offered to the Air Corps on 31 December 1927. The land had to have clear title, be donated to the government, and have no restrictions as to use. Legal processes delayed the acceptance of the donated property until 16 August 1928. In the meantime, after a dispute with a blue ribbon committee of senior Air Corps officers who did not favor the circular design, Clark's layout was approved, also on 16 August, and construction began on 1 November 1927. It was "the largest construction project undertaken by the Army, up to that time, with the exception of the Panama Canal."

Clark's design was submitted to and drawn upon by George B. Ford, a city planner and civilian advisor to the Construction Service of the Quartermaster Corps whose approval of all site plans for the Army was required between 1926 and 1930. The 2001 National Park Service nomination for the Randolph Field Historic District as a National Historic Landmark commented on the architectural layout of the field: "It appears that Clark's plan, submitted by the Air Corps Training Center, was one of the new layouts that George B. Ford, in his position as City Planning Adviser to the War Department, chose for extensive revisions. Other than the circular roads at the center of the layout and the location of flight lines at the edges, Lt. Clark's plan and the final layout for Randolph Field have few major features in common. The 'official post layout,' signed by George B. Ford, A.I.A., was approved by the Chief of the Air Corps, the Quartermaster General, and the Chief of Staff for the Secretary of War in January 1929. It elegantly combined the Air Corps' operational and training needs with advanced city planning principles. Key features of Ford's design (and which do not appear in Lt. Clark's plan) include the dramatic, impressive entranceway, its termination at Washington Circle (a smaller circle below Main Circle, formerly known as North Circle), and the siting of three notable buildings around Washington Circle on the east, west, and south. The final layout for Randolph Field is clearly the work of a master planner."

Once the site for the field was selected, a committee decided to name the base after Captain William Millican Randolph, a native of Austin and graduate of Texas A&M, who was killed on 17 February 1928, in the crash of a Curtiss AT-4 Hawk, 27–220, on takeoff from Gorman Field, Texas. Ironically, Captain Randolph was serving on the committee to select a name for the new field at the time of his death. Captain Randolph is buried at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.

Although barely half-completed, Randolph Field was dedicated 20 June 1930, with an estimated 15,000 people in attendance and a fly-by of 233 planes. The mayor of San Antonio, C.M. Chambers, formally presented the "West Point of the Air" to the Chief of the Air Corps, Maj. Gen. James Fechet. Early in 1931, the School of Aviation Medicine from Brooks Field and the initial service squadron began relocating to Randolph. On 1 October, the Air Corps Training Center moved its headquarters from Duncan Field to Randolph and the principal movement of personnel followed. The flying school at Brooks Field closed on 20 October, followed by the school at March Field on 25 October, and the Primary Flying School opened at Randolph on 2 November 1931.

Between October 1931 and March 1935, more than 2,000 candidates reported for pilot training at Randolph, which began a new class every fourth months. 47% of them graduated as pilots and went on to advanced flying training. 75% of all primary training was conducted at Randolph Field. By May 1932 the field had 251 primary trainers, most the venerable Consolidated PT-3 "Trusty", but gradually supplemented by the Consolidated PT-11D, which became the Air Corps standard in the 1930s. In 1936, the famous Stearman PT-13 Kaydet began to appear in the skies over San Antonio. Basic training followed primary, at first with Douglas BT-1s and BT-2Bs. The Seversky BT-8 was later introduced as a basic trainer, but was soon deemed too difficult to handle and was replaced by North American BT-9s in 1935.

Increased flying hours for cadets and an expanded syllabus resulted in a need for auxiliary fields within a ten-mile radius of Randolph to handle the volume of takeoffs and landings, and in 1932 Randolph was encircled by seven (clockwise from west to southwest): Dodd, Cade, Davenport, Marion, C.A. Krueger, Zuehl, and Martindale. Primary training continued at Randolph until September 1939 when expansion of the Air Corps forced it to contract primary out to civilian schools, and Randolph's mission shifted to basic pilot training only.

The Air Corps Act of 1926 mandated that rated pilots comprise 90% of all commissioned officers of the Air Corps. Because of this requirement, nearly all new officers of the Air Corps underwent Randolph's rigorous pilot training program and, in combination with the architectural beauty of the base, Mayor Chamber's term West Point of the Air became the unofficial nickname for Randolph Field. A 1935 Hollywood film, West Point of the Air, was filmed on location at Randolph.

1940s to 1970s
In June 1941, the Air Corps became the Army Air Forces. Basic flying training at Randolph continued until March 1943, when the Army Air Forces Central Instructors School (CIS) was created. For the next two years, training instructors for ground schools, instructor pilots (including civilian contract instructors) for all three phases of flying training, and officers destined for administrative duties at air training command bases were trained by the CIS. Randolph produced 15,396 instructor graduates from this course before it moved to Waco Field in 1945. When the CIS moved to Waco Field it was replaced by the Army Air Forces pilot school, which specialized in transition training for B-29 bomber pilots, copilots and engineers. Primary pilot training returned to Randolph from Goodfellow Field in December 1945. Class 42-X gave 235 pilots their wings in an experimental course that sent pilot candidates directly to instructor training without first attending primary school, but though the course was considered a success, AAF Flying Training Command rejected its adoption. The Central Instructors School returned to Randolph in November 1945, was redesignated the AAF Pilot Instructors School, and relocated to Barksdale Field, Louisiana, on 12 March 1946.

Like many military installations during World War II, Randolph fielded an intercollegiate football team, nicknamed the Randolph Field Ramblers. Under coach Frank Tritico, the 1943 team achieved a 9–1 record and was invited to play in the 1944 Cotton Bowl Classic, where they battled the Texas Longhorns to a 7–7 tie. The 1944 team, stocked with such stars as former All-American and National Football League (NFL) Rookie of the Year Bill Dudley and All-American running back Glenn Dobbs, as well as eight other former NFL players, went undefeated and untied in 11 games, and was ranked No. 3 in the nation by the AP Poll.

The Army Air Forces also planned to return basic pilot training to Randolph on 1 February 1946. Even though basic training transferred from Goodfellow Field in February 1946, the Army Air Forces suspended all pilot training when it found itself with a shortfall of maintenance personnel. The U.S. Air Force became a separate service on 18 September 1947, and Randolph Field was officially renamed Randolph Air Force Base on 13 January 1948.

When Randolph resumed flying training activities in March 1948, primary pilot training was deleted from its program, and in August 1948 the 3510th Pilot Training Wing (Basic) was activated. On 7 August 1950, during the Korean War, the 3511th Combat Crew Training Group was established as part of the 3510th PTW to train crews for the B-29 Superfortress, and the instructor pilot school was transferred to Craig Air Force Base, Alabama. On 11 June 1952 the pilot training wing was redesignated as the 3510th Flying Training Wing (Medium Bomber), and again in October 1954 (to reflect more accurately its actual mission) to the 3510th Combat Crew Training Wing.

On 1 April 1952, the Air Force established the Crew Training Air Force (CTAF) with its headquarters at Randolph to administer nine bases and combat crew training wings, including the 3510th. B-29 training by the 3511th Flying Training Group (Medium Bomber) continued for five years, ultimately producing 21,519 crew members. In 1954, with the requirements for B-29 crewmen reduced, the CTAF instituted instrument training for four-engine transport crews using the Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar, and added Martin B-57 Canberra crew training to Randolph's activities, although a shortage of qualified instructors cut short the latter program after two years. The USAF Helicopter School was based at Randolph from June 1956 to July 1958. The 3510th conducted Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighter crew training from June 1957 to July 1958, after which the Strategic Air Command assigned a tenant wing to Randolph, the 4397th Air Refueling Wing, to instruct crews until 15 June 1962.

The Crew Training Air Force was discontinued on 1 July 1957, and the headquarters of the Flying Training Air Force relocated to Randolph. Shortly after, between 1 August and 30 September, the headquarters of ATC itself relocated to Randolph from Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. In early 1958 ATC assumed responsibility for all Air Force training activities and all other training commands including the Flying Training Air Force were abolished. The 3510th CCTW was redesignated the 3510th Flying Training Wing on 1 June 1958 with the primary mission of qualifying USAF jet pilots.

The Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star was the workhorse trainer during the 1950s and 1960s at Randolph AFB. In 1961 pilot instructor training (PIT) returned to the 3510th Flying Training Wing. Randolph became the Air Force's primary PIT base as the Air Force completely revamped its pilot training program, abolishing the nine independent pilot training squadrons (contract instructors) that had been performing primary training for a decade and gearing up to conduct all undergraduate pilot training (UPT) in jet aircraft. Class 62-FZ produced 25 pilots who completed their training in the new Northrop T-38 Talon, then undergoing test and evaluation, only the second class of candidates to receive their wings at Randolph (Class 42-X was the first class to do so). Requirements for new pilots during the Vietnam War saw PIT shifted again, from Randolph to Perrin and Tyndall Air Force Bases, and on 16 May 1967, while retaining its "flying training" designation, Randolph resumed primary training in the Cessna T-37 to become the ninth UPT wing. 1,269 pilots earned their wings at Randolph before UPT was discontinued at Randolph on 2 October 1971. The PIT squadrons at Perrin and Tyndall both returned to Randolph in June 1971 and it became the only source of UPT instructor pilots for the USAF.

To preserve the lineage and histories of combat units, the Air Force directed ATC to replace its four-digit flying and pilot training wings with two-digit designations. The 3510th FTW became the 12th Flying Training Wing (12 FTW) on 1 May 1972, taking on the designation of the tactical fighter wing inactivated in Vietnam the previous November.

1980s to 2010
Today, the 12 FTW provides instructor pilot training and refresher/recurrency training in the T-6A Texan II, T-38C Talon and T-1A Jayhawk. The wing also operates the T-1A in support of Specialized Undergraduate Navigator Training (SUNT), a mission it assumed following the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) closure of Mather AFB, California and inactivation of the 323d Flying Training Wing. SUNT trains prospective USAF Navigators/Combat Systems Officers destined for the B-52 Stratofortress, E-3 Sentry, E-8 Joint STARS, RC-135, non-PACER CRAG KC-135 Stratotanker, and C-130 Hercules variants, as well as prospective Naval Flight Officers en route to fly land-based U.S. Navy P-3C Orion, EP-3 Aries and E-6 Mercury aircraft.

The 12 FTW also provides training to numerous NATO/Allied officer students via SUNT, as well as supporting Marine Corps and Coast Guard enlisted navigator training via the Marine Aerial Navigation School (MANS). The Marine Aerial Navigation School remained at Randolph until the school was decommissioned with the graduation of Class 04–01 on 31 July 2004. Advanced Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO) training is also conducted by the 12 FTW for those navigators/CSOs destined for eventual assignment as USAF EWOs.

The 12 FTW also operates an additional airfield for practice approaches and touch-and-go landings approximately 12 miles east-northeast of Randolph in Seguin, Texas. Known as Randolph AFB Auxiliary Field/Seguin Field, this airfield was originally constructed with three runways in 1941. Normally unattended, the airfield has a single active 8350-ft runway and is supported by a manned runway supervisor unit (RSU) and aircraft rescue and fire fighting (ARFF) vehicles when conducting flight operations.

Randolph has also completed major renovations to the Base Commissary as well as completely re-paving Harmon Drive, the main entrance to the base leading to "The Taj". Additional plans include construction of a new Base Exchange, which is managed by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES).

Merger (2010)
The 12th FTW remained the host unit at Randolph AFB for nearly 38 years, until 31 January 2010, when the 502d Air Base Wing became the host unit after Randolph became a component of Joint Base San Antonio.

The base was listed as a census-designated place for statistical purposes, with a population of 1,241 counted at the 2010 census.

Help Required
Hi,

First of all I appreciate your patience for taking the time to read this.

I am Amruta. I am a first year masters student, studying Human Computer Interaction at Georgia Tech. Currently i am enrolled in a course on online communities. As part of the course we are supposed to study an online community of our interest.

I went through wikipedia and was really amazed to find that they also had a site in Hindi. I found this really interesting and so thought about exploring how the content differs when the language changes, how people access wikipedia when it is in a different langugae or specifically when it is their mother tongue.

And so the theme for my project is

Wikipedia is available in many different languages. While the interface and concept stay the same, the content and the way people utilize it seem to be significantly different from one language to another. I can see this clearly when I compare the Hindi and English versions. How does culture effect the content and the way people participate in creating it? Which features stay the same? Which features are more exploited in different languages/cultures? If there are similar sites to Wikipedia in their original language, why do those subjects prefer (or do they) to participate in Wikipedia rather than the other alternative?

As part of this project we are supposed to interview 3 people from the community we are studying. The final result of this paper will be to write a paper based on our findings. I have a project group of 3 people all of different nationalities, one Turkish and another Spanish. I was trying to find indian and hindi speaking users for this and came across your name on wikipedia and so i thought you might be able to give me some insight on this.

The main reason to write to you is, i would really appreciate it if you could be one of my subjects for conducting an interview as you might be able to give me some insight into this issue. Participation in my study is completely voluntary. Your name or personal details will never be revealed to anyone during this course.

In case you have any doubts you can go through this page http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2005/cs6470_spring/researchstudy/

Waiting to hear from you.

Thanks a lot for your time again, Amrutasl 23:16, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

English in Devanagari script
Hi Spundun, my question is, how to write english vowels in devanagari. Indian Airlines is written as "इंडियन एयरलाइन्स", how do you use the ऍ, ऎ, ए, ऐ, ऑ, ऒ und ओ? How to write get, gat, gate and bot, boat, bought? And "there are snakes in the hole" and "there are snacks in the hall"? — Murtasa 15:47, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Early Morning on the Ganges
Hi Spundun:

Thanks for uploading the photo to the Commons. I am glad you liked the photo. It does make me feel homesick every time I look at it for, although I have only lived in India for three years (plus several shorter trips), I grew up in Trinidad in the West Indies with both Hindus and Muslims as next door neighbours and close childhood friends. In fact, I have always felt more at home in India than I did in my homeland, Canada, or in Australia (where I know live).

Do you think I should be uploading all of my photos that I have put into the Wikipedia into the Commons? Is this easy to do? I am still a bit of a novice and have little time for exploring all the possibilities as I am trying to finish editing a book for publication (an annotated translation of a 2nd century Chinese text on the countries to the West of China including India, Parthia and the Roman Empire). This is taking up almost any free time I have.

Cheers, and thanks again,

John Hill

Hello again!

Thanks so much for your clear yet detailed answer to my inquiry. I will give it a go as soon as I can spare some time.

Indian English
Hi, do you think a Wikipedia in English, written in Devanagari script is a good idea? There are many speakers in India, and it could be much easier for them to read and write a phonetic English in Devanagari than in original English with this irregular orthography. For example, the letter ऊ can be written in at least ten ways, gnu, who, root, shoe, fruit, blue, two, through, crew, you, ... Articles in Devagari could then easyly be transcripted (by a bot?) into the other Indian scripts like Gujarati, Bangali, Tamil aso. — Murtasa 8 July 2005 00:43 (UTC)

Hey, need your help on some images. There are some film stars images copied from bollywood4u.com which in turn has copied the images from different sites.

Maps
Hi Spundun, Thanks for your comments. Cheers! --ΜιĿːtalk 07:37, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) The maps follow the wiki map guidelines, and are created with some reference maps and GPS systems like Google Earth. However, I should caution you that the co-ordinates are only approximate at this stage.
 * 2) To me, creating each district separately (as for Karnataka or Maharashtra), though fairly simple, seemed to be an overkill; unless you want to detail out each district at higher resolution, with all cities, roads, rail, etc. Doesn't make sense to me otherwise, just more images without any added value. (Also, unfortunately, the articles they go into are just stuby at the moment).
 * 3) Well, there is a high res blank map (without any text) of the whole state here in the same category. I think it may server your purpose where you can use it as the base graphic. It is meant to be used in this fashion anyway :-).
 * 4) If required, I can help create the same maps with Gu text for gu.wikipedia.

Indian language Wikipedias
I was somewhat active on Hindi wikipedia at one point, though (shamefully) I found it quite difficult to not only write Hindi using the keyboard, but even coming up with formal Hindi sentences without any English words. I also tried a bit to spread the word about the Hindi wikipedia among Hindi bloggers who churn out good quality blog article in Hindi on a daily basis. I don't know how much it helped, but I haven't seen any increase in the number of articles (seems to be struck at 1000, and most of them are stubs anyway.) Doesn't look like a wikipedia in world's 2nd/3rd most spoken language. deeptrivia (talk) 06:46, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, writing in hindi and gujarati has been difficult for me also, esp. since last time I used it in school tests was in highschool and I am sure its the same with you. I think I can communicate my emotions better in gujarati but for technical stuff english ends up being more comfortable. The trick is to be persistant, eventuall you do get better :). --Spundun 07:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll love to improve. What do you use to write Hindi? I know of this, which is quite decent. deeptrivia (talk) 07:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Dude,, checkout this page Enabling complex text support for Indic scripts . That should be able to give you a lot more info. All the recent OS's come with builtin support for devnagari input, though you have to explicitly enable it since its not installed by default. Also checkout the keyboard maps I put at the bottom of that page. Good luck --Spundun 07:20, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Hindi logo
Hiya, a month ago someone wrote to helpdesk-l saying:

jus logged on to wikipedia first time today...amazing site... but was dissapointed to see that when we go to the Hindi language page. The spelling near the wikipedia logo which is the translation of "the free encyclopedia" is spelled wrongly in hindi. Dont know how i can edit it so writin this mail so that someone can change the same. It has to be spelled "Azaad" and not "Ajhaad" as it is now (in Hindi ofcourse). Cant type in hindi here so you can maybe consult anyone who knows hindi and they will tell you. "Z" as in zoo rather than "Jh" as it now.

Request,Nomination for removal of Khalistan article
Hello Sir I'm nominating this page for deletion because it is written with a point of view, excessive use of unreliable sources.and the title "Khalistan" is wrong for the topic because "Khalistan" does not exist,lack of support from resident Punjabi's and Sikhs in India, but there was a "Movement for Khalistan" and that is the right title for the topic, and i think this whole article "a new name" should be rewritten with the help of people from sikh community "in" India and other Indians, because this topic is related to politics/people of India.We all should understand Khalistan is not a political entity and having a article is not justified, Microsoft Encarta and Britannic encyclopedia don't have an article known as "Khalistan" but they do have articles on the movement that took place decades back, and i think there are also copyright issues involved with this article because big parts of this article are written on other peoples research. Many reliable sources are used to show "one side" of their view on the topic, there are also indications that organisations banned by US and EU are involved in providing their research on the movement.I am a strong supporter to have a stub on this topic, but im afraid that such articles on wikipedia have become mouthpieces for organisation which are known for disrupting peace (assassination of one of india's prime minister, twin bomb blast in New Delhi on the eve of Diwali) in Indian sub continent.

El Rito Presbyterian Church

El Rito Presbyterian Church is a church in Chacón, New Mexico

Early settlers came to Chacón (El Rito de Agua Negra) from Chamisal, where they were reportedly persecuted because of their Protestant beliefs. Their faith was enriched through the study of Spanish Bibles, provided by the Sandoval, Arqüello, and Ortega families. A school was started by the Arqüello's, which further encouraged Bible reading. In 1879, the group was organized as El Rito Presbyterian Church by the Rev. John Annin, the minister in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Elder Juan P Ortega, licensed as a lay evangelist, preached at Chacón through the 1880s. In the 1890s, the congregation was served by the Rev Joseph J. Gilchrist, who also produced a Protestant newspaper in Spanish, and trained local men to work as evangelists.

Native-born ministers educated at Presbyterian schools and colleges in New Mexico and elsewhere, predominated at Chacón from 1900 to 1958. During this period, an elementary school, staffed by women teachers from the Presbyterian Board of National Missions, taught children and sent them on to Allison-James in Santa Fe and Menaul School in Albuquerque, both in New Mexico. The school nourished the church, and also served the community as advocates, clinic and community center.

The church grew steadily until the 1930s, becoming one of the largest Spanish-language congregations in the Presbyterian Church. Numerous teachers, ministers, and Christian lay workers were sent out from El Rito. But the Great Depression, a decline in farming and World War II caused many families to relocate. At the seventy-fifth anniversary, the Rev Epifanio Romero compared the church to a rural irrigation system: "The water has been drained off to water the fields below. It has spent itself giving life to plants which would have suffered. And perhaps would have been lost otherwise...Our people left the community but are giving life and strength to churches in different places...Some have served [in mission work], some are still serving, still others are ready to start this very year of 1954." Over the years, members of the church have gone to serve as teachers, nurses, agronomists, administrators, ministers, and in other capacities across the United States and abroad.

Lay leadership from within the congregation has maintained the church over its life. Whenever a minister was not present, the members conducted worship services. The buildings have been maintained and improved, Bible school held, special events organized, and diaconal work continued by the members with help from many friends across the Presbyterian Church.

The community continues to change as families return after an absence of many years, challenged to continue the ministry, handing on the gifts that were given many years ago: knowledge of the Bible, and the certainty of God's unfolding purpose for their lives.

New dab dump
I've asked a question, kinda something to do with your new dump at Dab's with links, at the village pump, specifically here. --Commander Keane 16:27, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Timeline of Entomology
I have followed your excellent suggestion and removed nationalities. Germany was especially problematic and after the 1840s revolutions as well as in the Napoleonic years many entomologists had a history confusing nationalities. In any event this info is given when the link is followed. Very many thanks Notafly. Is this the right place to post my warm thanks?

un-archiving
Actually, I've put in a request to undo my ill-thought out page move. I was thinking that I could restore the edit history to both pages, but it turns out not to work. The edit history therefore should stay with the main page, and only the first half or so should be archived, I think (especially with ongoing discussions in the rest). Cheers!

Can you help translate this for me to swedish? Many thanks in advance!

''Albania is also rich in rivers and streams with significant hydroelectric potential. These have been exploited quite effectively, making the country an energy exporter. A number of huge hydroelectric power plants have been built, mainly on the Drin River, and more than half of the country's arable land is irrigated, largely from the artificial reservoirs created upstream of the dams.''

Disambig templates
As I have no knowledge of scripts, can you run me one to generate a list of all templates containing disambig links? I think it would be handy to clear those out before the next database dump. Cheers! BD2412 T 20:30, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Still on the disambig script. Since I have no knowlendge of Perl I can't quite work out if it is easy/possilbe for the script to count how many "Whatlinkshere" there are in Wikipedia totally. I'm guessing that the script gets the "Whatlinkshere" for every dab anyway (before it can order them into a descending list), so is it possilbe to get a total count of links to dabs, for all dabs. If it takes any extra processor time don't bother, I just thought it would be interesting to see if WP:DPL is making an impact at all.--Commander Keane 15:25, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for those stats, interesting. Thanks for all the dump work you do, you keep WP:DPL alive and I greatly appreciate it.--Commander Keane 02:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Swap it in right away. The discussion didn't lead anywhere at all.--Commander Keane 22:03, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello Bo. I'm here to ask about another dump script, but before that I must mention that I was looking over your contribs and noticed your link repair work on Swedish, no wonder it never pops its head up at Maintenance and I've never worked on it!

Now about the script. There have been murmurings of distaste for generic dab pages not existing at their rightful location. For example Analog redirects to Analog (disambiguation) when the dab page should be located at Analog. I am hoping for a script to run through the most recent dump and list these pages for me (and any other admin that may want to work on fixing them up). I guess the script would find pages with the "(disambiguation)" in the title, for example Fooboo (disambiguation) and if Fooboo redirects to Fooboo (disambiguation) it would be listed. Can you help? If you are too busy then let me know and I'll ask somewhere else, I always feel like I'm harassing you for work, but I'm summoned by your friendliness.--Commander Keane 09:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Hey Bo, it's just the just Foogle → Foogle (disambiguation) type redirects that are needed.--Commander Keane 22:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the report! I copied it to WikiProject Disambiguation/Malplaced disambiguation pages. Also, thanks for posting the links as Foogle, rather than Foogle (disambiguation). It makes my job just that much easier.--Commander Keane 07:21, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

"Malplaced disambiguations"
Hi. I just found your user subpage with this title. Would I be right in thinking that you are saying that such pages are always bad practice? Whenever I create a disambig page, I use this method by default. If that is wrong, could you explain the problems it causes, so that I can make sure I avoid doing this. Thanks SP-KP 19:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi Bo! We have just wrapped up the intial batch of Malplaced disambiguation pages. If you have a recent dump handy, could you run the script again? Reading this it seems the most recent dump was 2006-03-04. If you don't have the dump or are too busy that's ok, I can ask at Bot requests.--Commander Keane 03:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Date links
Thank you for bringing the range of date preference formats to my attention. I will incorporate those into my work. Please be kind enough to vote for my new bot application to reduce overlinking of dates where they are not part of date preferences. Thanks. bobblewik 23:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Joanna Gleason

Joanna Gleason (born Joanne Hall; June 2, 1950) is a Canadian-American actress and singer. She is a Tony Award–winning musical theatre actress and has also had a number of notable film and TV roles. She is known for originating the role of the Baker's Wife in Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. She is also known for her film work in Mike Nichols' Heartburn (1986), Woody Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) and Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), and Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights (1997). She has had television roles in shows such as ER, Friends, The West Wing, The Good Wife and The Affair.

Early life
Joanne Hall was born in Winnipeg, the eldest of three siblings born to television producer and game show personality Monty Hall, and his wife, Marilyn (née Plottel), both of whom died in 2017. At the time of her birth, her father was working at the Canada Wheat Board and had changed his name from Halparin to Hall. He later started his TV career and went on to fame as host of Let's Make a Deal. In May 1956, the Hall family moved to New York and, in the early 1960s, they moved to Los Angeles.

Hall graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 1968. She was in the school's productions of The Music Man, The Mikado, The Grass Harp, and The Madwoman of Chaillot. In high school, Gleason received acting instruction from John Ingle, the soap opera star, who taught at BHHS from 1955 to 1985. She continued her education at UCLA, then Occidental College, from which she graduated. Gleason has been a teacher herself, holding classes and workshops all over the country.

Career
Although Gleason started her acting career in television, she is best known for her stage and musical theatre work. She made her Broadway debut in 1977 in I Love My Wife, for which she was honored with a Theatre World Award.

Additional Broadway credits include Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing, Peter Nichols' A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, Nick & Nora, Into the Woods (for which she won several awards including a Tony Award in the lead role of the Baker's Wife, which she also played in the PBS Great Performances production of the musical), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and The Cartells.

Her film and television career began in 1977 with her first appearance on her father's program Let's Make A Deal. In 1979, she was cast as a supporting character in the much-maligned two season sitcom Hello, Larry. She had film roles in Hannah and Her Sisters and Heartburn (both 1986). In the television movie Still the Beaver she played Beaver's ex-wife, Kimberly. Gleason worked again with Woody Allen in Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), this time playing the wife of Allen's character. Gleason appeared in several films in the 1990s, including F/X2, Mr. Holland's Opus, Boogie Nights, and The Boys. More recently she has appeared in The Good Wife, Blue Bloods, The Wedding Planner, and The Newsroom. On television, she played the role of Nadine Berkus on the show Love & War (1992–95), several episodes of which she also directed. She played Joan Silver on Temporarily Yours (1997).

She starred in the Lifetime series Oh Baby as Charlotte from 1998 to 2000, also directing episodes of this show. Shortly following the end of this series, she starred opposite Bette Midler on Bette as agent Connie Randolph. Her numerous guest starring TV credits include episodes of The West Wing, The Practice, King of the Hill, Friends, Password Plus, Tracey Takes On..., Murphy Brown, ER and The Outer Limits. Gleason appeared in six episodes of the Canadian black comedy series Sensitive Skin as Veronica, from 2014 to 2016.

In 2007, Gleason was honored by the New England Theatre Conference with a Special Award for Achievement in Theatre.

Personal life
Gleason has been married three times. She was married to acting coach Paul G. Gleason. She kept his surname professionally, although they divorced on June 28, 1982. Later, she married Michael Bennahum. Gleason has one child, Aaron David Gleason, from her first marriage.

Gleason has been married to actor Chris Sarandon since 1994. The two met while performing in Broadway's short-lived 1991 musical Nick & Nora, returned to the stage together in Thorn and Bloom (1998), and collaborated on several films, such as Road Ends, Edie & Pen, Let the Devil Wear Black, and American Perfekt.

Gleason's siblings are television writer/director Sharon Hall Kessler and Emmy award-winning television writer/director Richard Hall.

User:JerryFriedman

By Laurie Tümer, May, 2006

I'm taking an indefinite break from Wikipedia with very occasional breaks from the break.

Here's my talk page. You can also reach me at [mailto:jerry_friedman@yahoo.com]. The spammers are already doing their worst.

I live in New Mexico and teach physics and math. However, I haven't found many articles on those topics that need improvement, so most of my edits have been on other topics, such as birdwatching and speculative fiction.

I take pictures too—here's a gallery.

Style tips

 * "Named as" should be "named", and "considered as" should be "considered" (or "considered to be" if the extra words really make the sentence clearer), except in the unusual construction "Considered as a politician, Armijo was successful."

 * Have some doubt about "first ever". You can often just use "first".  "First and only" can almost always be "only".

 * Have some doubt about "red-colored", "red in color", etc. "Red" is almost always fine, as are "blue", "yellow", etc.  On rare occasions you might need something such as "orange-colored" or "violet in color" because there's a danger of confusion with oranges or violets.

 * Have some doubt about using "would" or "was to" to describe single past events. For example, "In 19xx, X went to A, where he was to meet his lifelong lover, L.  He would also win the P Prize while there."  If your narration is chronological, consider whether you would prefer "In 19xx, X went to A, where he met his lifelong lover, L.  He also won the P Prize."  If your narrative isn't chronological, consider whether it should be.

 * (Of course, this doesn't apply to repeated events: "In A, he would often verb.")

 * Have some doubt about "located". "Española is in Rio Arriba County" is just as clear as and one word shorter than "Española is located in Rio Arriba County".

 * Have some doubt about "Note that", "Interestingly", "It is important to note that", etc. You can often just leave them out.

 * "Protagonist" means "main character" (etymologically "first actor"), so "main protagonist" is redundant. If you feel there's more than one of what you're talking about, "protagonist" probably isn't the right word.

 * Have some doubt about "false titles", such as "Renowned novelist Dan Brown". I'm not the only one who dislikes them—R. L. Trask said they weren't English—but everyone accepts "The renowned novelist Dan Brown" or "Dan Brown, a renowned novelist, " or "A renowned novelist, Dan Brown, "

 * In most encyclopedic contexts, there's nothing wrong with the word "big".

Peterson Space Force Base

Peterson Space Force Base, previously Peterson Air Force Base, Peterson Field, and Army Air Base, Colorado Springs, is a United States Space Force base that shares an airfield with the adjacent Colorado Springs Municipal Airport and is home to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the Space Force's 21st Space Wing, elements of the Space Force's Space Systems Command, and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) headquarters. Developed as a World War II air support base for Camp Carson, the facility conducted Army Air Forces training and supported Cold War air defense centers at the nearby Ent Air Force Base, Chidlaw Building, and Cheyenne Mountain Complex. The base was the location of the Air Force Space Command headquarters from 1987 to 20 December 2019 and has had NORAD/NORTHCOM command center operations since the 2006 Cheyenne Mountain Realignment placed the nearby Cheyenne Mountain Complex on standby. On 26 July 2021, the installation was renamed Peterson Space Force Base to reflect its prominent role in the new space service.

History
Colorado military construction during the buildup of US training installations prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor included the 1940 Lowry bombardier school at Denver and Camp Carson south of Colorado Springs (HQ completed on 31 January 1942). Sites "in the vicinity of Colorado Springs" were assessed in the summer of 1941 for a USAAF airfield, and during April 1942 the Photographic Reconnaissance Operational Training Unit (PROTU) was activated in a leased facility at Colorado Springs. On 6 May 1942, the site adjacent to the airfield of the 1926 Colorado Springs Municipal Airport was selected, and the airport's airfield was subsequently leased as an "air support field"* for Camp Carson under the "air support base development program". In May 1942, units such as the 5th Mapping Squadron (from Bradley Field) arrived and used city facilities. The "Second Photographic Group Reconnaissance" (activated 7 May 1942 at Will Rogers Field) transferred to Colorado Springs, and the "2nd Group ... headquarters was situated in a former garage across the street from the Post Office, barracks were in the city auditorium ... and the mess hall was located at the busy horseshoe counter of the Santa Fe railway station." Land at the Broadmoor was used for maneuvers, and the 2nd Group initially operated without aircraft. Personnel were also "housed temporarily at Colorado College" and a youth camp near the Woodmen sanitorium. (the 14th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron was located at the Kaufman Building on Tejon St.)

Army Air Base, Colorado Springs
"Army Air Base, Colorado Springs",* construction began after 10 May 1942, on "nothing more than a large patch of Colorado plain", and the installation was placed under the Headquarters, United States "AAF [on] 11 June 1942". The 373d Base HQ and Air Base Sq was activated as the base operating unit on 20 June 1942 (replaced by the 214th AAF Base Unit in 1944), and the base was assigned to the 2nd Air Force on 22 June 1942. On 7 July 1942, "HQ PROTU" was on the "Army Air Base, Colorado Springs" and was ordered to provide "four to five months of training to each individual". During air base construction, the 20th Combat Mapping Squadron was activated on 23 July 1942, and used the Alamo Garage on Tejon Street. Runways were completed in August 1942, and eponym 1st Lt Edward J. Peterson crashed 8 August 1942 on take off (1st Coloradoan killed at the airfield.)

Peterson Field
Peterson Field was the airfield named on 13 December 1942, and included the runway used by both the municipal airport and the military installation: "Army Air Base, Peterson Field", which had begun publishing the Wingspread base newspaper by 11 July 1942. The "18 Dep Rpr Sq" was assigned to the military installation from 19 January – 29 April 1943, and the installation was assigned to the Third Air Force (5 March – 1 October 1943) and by the end of the 1943 summer had tar paper barracks, an officer's club, and a theater in a Quonset. After the base transferred to Second Air Force on 1 October 1943, in June 1944 Peterson Field began fighter pilot training with P-40N Warhawks. "In March 1943 the Third Air Force took over the photographic reconnaissance Operational Training Unit which had been operating at Peterson Field ... under the direct control of the Director of Photography since April 1942".

Bomber Commands
The 4th Heavy Bombardment Processing Headquarters ("4 H Bomb Processing HQ") was activated on 10 June 1943 (the 1st B-29 landed at Peterson Field in the summer of 1943), and bomber training by the 214th AAF Base Unit (Combat Crew Training School, Heavy) B-24 Liberator) began after the 383rd Bombardment Group relocated from Geiger Field, Washington on 26 October 1943. In 1944 (11 June – 20 October), the XXI Bomber Command was assigned to Peterson; and the "HQ and HQ Sq" of XXII Bomber Command was assigned 14 October 1944 – 13 February 1945, and by 17 August 1944, 4 bomb wings (313th through 316th) were assigned to the base — the last left on 7 June 1945. The 263rd AAF Base Unit became the Peterson "base operating unit" on 8 March 1945 (transferred to Andrews Field on 17 March 1946). The Army Air Forces Instructor School opened at Peterson Field in April 1945, and the base was one of several that transferred to Continental Air Forces on 16 April 1945. (VIII Bomber Command arrived 17 August 1945).

The base was inactivated 31 December 1945 after the 13th Bombardment Wing (17 October) and VIII Bomber Command (c. 15 December) departed, and site management by the base operating unit ended on 17 December 1945. In 1946, Peterson's last AAF Base Units were discontinued: 260th AAF Base Unit (Fighter Wing) in January, the 202nd AAF Base Unit (Special) in February, and the 268th AAF Base Unit (Instrument Instructor Unit) in March and the 201st (Headquarters Base Unit) in April (the 72nd Fighter Wing was at the base from "4 January 1946 - 9 April 1946"). The 703rd AAF Base Unit (Hq, 53d AACS Group) moved to Kelly Field in February. Designated surplus on 29 July 1946, "the U.S. Government returned control of the [air]field to the City of Colorado Springs". Many of the base buildings were torn down. In 1946, Tonopah AAF (Nevada, on 1 October), Clovis AAF (New Mexico, 16 October), and Casper AAF (Wyoming, on 15 December) became detached installations of the inactive base for a short period.

During planning for the new United States Air Force, Colorado's Arlington Auxiliary Army Airfield became a detached installation of the surplus base (1 January – c. 10 October 1947), and the "468th Construction Co (15th AF)" became the inactive base's operating unit in February 1947. The base with new construction was activated 29 September 1947 – 15 January 1948, then was "surplus" until after the notice in November 1950 to reactivate Air Defense Command. The "23 Photo Sq 19 May 1943-9 August 1948" remained throughout both inactive/surplus periods, and the "4600 Maint & Sup Sq" was established at the surplus base on 1 December 1950).

USAF installation

The military base at the municipal field reactivated as an off-base installation of Ent Air Force Base on 1 January 1951 and was operated by Ent's 4600 Air Base Group. After being assigned to Peterson on 1 March 1952, the 4602d Air Intelligence Service Squadron had subordinate organizations at the "Defense Force Headquarters [on] Hamilton Air Force Base, California, at Kansas City, Missouri, and at Stewart Air Force Base" New York. The 4600th Group became the 4600th Air Base Wing on 8 April 1958 (moved to Peterson on 18 October 1972). The 4600th was replaced by the 46th Aerospace Defense Wing on 1 April 1975. In January 1968, Air Training Command's 3253d Pilot Training Squadron at Peterson Field began light aircraft indoctrination for cadets. These operations moved to the United States Air Force Academy on 21 March 1974. The military base at Peterson Field gained its own base commander on 28 February 1975.

Primary installation
Designated Peterson Air Force Base on 1 March 1975, when Ent AFB was being closed, Peterson was the last of the April 1945 Continental Air Forces airbases to be named an air force base. Also on 1 March, Peterson assumed several functions from Ent AFB, which became the "Ent Annex" of Peterson, 18 July 1975 – 7 February 1978 (Peterson's off-base "Temporary Military Facility" was opened for space training by 1986). During the first part of the reorganization that broke up ADCOM, the base "transferred to the Strategic Air Command" on 1 October 1979 (units transferred included the 47th Comm Sq to AFCS and the 46th Wing and 4602nd Computer Services Sq to SAC). ADCOM HQ offices at the Chidlaw Building became the Aerospace Defense Center at Peterson on 1 December 1979.

Peterson's NORAD COC Backup Facility achieved Full Operational Capability on 16 November 1982 from the Cheyenne Mountain Complex which was placed on warm standby.

The 1st Space Wing replaced the 46th Aerospace Defense Wing on 1 April 1983. Thereafter the 1st Space Wing transferred host unit responsibility to the 3d Space Support Wing activated on 15 October 1986. Army and other units transferred from the former Ent AFB Federal Building to Peterson Building 2 (renamed the Eberhart-Findley Building in October 2012). On 15 May 1992, the personnel and equipment of both the 1st SW and 3d SSW merged to become the 21st Space Wing. Peterson's Space Analysis Center was at the corner of Academy & Fountain Blvds by 2004 before moving on base to bldg 1470, and in 2004 the Space Operations School used a building along I-25 at Woodmen Drive.

The Cheyenne Mountain Realignment moved NORAD/USNORTHCOM operations to Peterson AFB in 2006. In 2006, the 76th Space Control Facility was constructed at Peterson (the squadron activated 22 January 2008). The MAFFS aircraft that fought the 2012 Waldo Canyon fire and 2013 Black Forest fire at Colorado Springs flew from Peterson AFB.

Some buildings from the Second World War have survived. Buildings remaining in 1996 were "the terminal, now the Peterson Air and Space Museum, the Broadmoor hangar, and the Spanish House" next to the museum, along with Building 391, Building 365, supply warehouses and office buildings, and aircraft hangars and maintenance shops.

The base's Retiree Activities Office has the representative for the Air Force Retiree Council Area IV (Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming).

On 20 December 2019, Air Force Space Command was redesignated as the U.S. Space Force and elevated to become an independent military branch. With the new military branch, the Fourteenth Air Force and its units became Space Force Space Operations Command and Air Force Space Command's headquarters was redesignated as the Pentagon.

Talk:List of indoor arenas

Links in headings
Manual of Style recommends against. Is this article an agreed exception or should we devise an alternative layout to cope?

How about making only the CONTINENTS headings (without embedded links), having the country names asterisked or something else that can have a link with no problem? Robin Patterson 00:45, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think there's a pretty reasonable basis for an exception when the lists are divided by location only. --DMG413 00:30, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

A bug
There is a little... well, not such a little problem with the sortability of the lists. Namely, the lists can't be sorted by any other criteria, but in alphabetical order of the countries, since there is no way to by-pass the "rowspan problem" In other words, by default, the arenas in the lists are grouped by country and sub-grouped by the city, but if you try to sort them in any other way, they become scattered and the tables become unreadable. It's a bug that can be fixed easily, by removing rowspan number and listing the country in every row, but I don't have the will to do that, so, if there is someone willing, I'd appreciate that.--Vitriden (talk) 03:52, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Missing arenas in european list

Talk:Lists of stadiums

Links in headings??
Same query as for indoor arenas: links are contrary to Manual of Style Robin Patterson 00:49, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

And, the same response ... I think there's a fairly sound basis for an exception as far as lists that are divided by geographic boundaries (and particularly those that, like this one, seem to go on forever). --DMG413 00:24, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Splitting list?

 * New intro predicts a split of this page:

List of stadiums in Africa List of stadiums in Asia etc.

Why so? Do we have to maintain two lists? Please do not. I will add links #internal to this page, hope that will do.

-DePiep 15:23, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * We might need to re-visit this issue. The article currently is at 105K.  While the guide is that articles should be 32K, the list is getting very long.  Anyone agree?  Patken4 02:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Re " Justisfy why a subnational entity could be separated out from the country that it belongs to and make a new entry. This wastes space, create confusion and is silly. " - I've yet to see any valid argument that applies only to Hong Kong and Macao, but not Åland Islands, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, for instance. User:Alanmak has been arguing Hong Kong and Macao are part of the People's Republic of China. This is a fact that no body can deny, as stated in each of the basic laws " inalienable part of the People's Republic of China ". The key issue is that whether these territories should be separately listed, as they do in real-life practices and conventions. — Instantnood 06:07, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Stadia not Stadiums
The plural of 'stadium' is not 'stadiums' but stadia, as per Stadium. The page therefore needs renaming and editing accordingly. I'm not sure how to do this but could someone else assist me, thanks?
