Batting out of turn

In baseball, batting out of turn or batting out of order refers to an event in which a batter makes a plate appearance out of sequence from the batting order specified in the lineup card submitted by the manager to the home plate umpire before the start of the game. The initial batting order is a list of the nine position players selected by the manager to play that game, indicating the sequence in which they will bat and the position to which they have been assigned for the game. During the game, batters make a plate appearance in the order specified by the batting order, repeating the sequence once the ninth batter has made a plate appearance.

Occasionally, one or more batters may bat in the incorrect order. In Major League Baseball, this violates rule 6.03(b) of the Official Baseball Rules. Batting out of turn is ignored by rule unless a member of the defensive team notifies the umpire that an infraction has occurred. Once the umpire is notified, the rule is enforced based on the official batting order. See Penalty section for the consequences of such notification.

Determining the proper batter
At any time, the proper batter is simply the player whose name follows the previous actual batter in the written batting order (at the start of the game, the #1 hitter is the proper batter, and in subsequent innings, the leadoff proper batter is the one who follows the last batter to complete a plate appearance in the last previous inning). Any batter's out-of-turn but completed plate appearance is legalized when a pitch is thrown to any subsequent batter on either team. Thus, in order to determine who is the proper batter at any given time, it is necessary only to consider the last two batters who have received a pitch—the last proper or legalized batter and the batter whose action will be nullified if found improper.

When an improper batter is legalized by a pitch to a subsequent batter, the written order does not change. The proper batter is then the next batter in the written order just after the newly legalized improper batter, even if this causes one or more batters to be skipped. Because the umpire and official scorer are not to comment on the batting order (outside of ruling on an appeal), the teams need to be vigilant about following the written order.

Penalty
If the umpire is notified of such an infraction immediately after a batter completes their appearance, then the umpire considers that batter and the previous one. If the batter who just finished batting does not follow the previous batter in the written order, their plate appearance was improper, any advances or scores due to their action are nullified, they are removed from the bases, and the proper batter is called out. If batting out of turn is appealed, the entire play is nullified under Official Baseball Rule 6.03(b) and MiLB Umpire Manual 4.3. Any runners who advanced on the play would be returned to the base they occupied at the time of the pitch. However, an advance on a stolen base or wild pitch is not a result of the batter's illegal action, and would stand. If the improper batter hits into a double play in which they are put out along with another runner, the defense can still appeal an improper batter. If this is the case, the proper batter is declared out, the other runner called out on the double play is returned to the base they occupied at the time of the pitch, and the batter that follows the proper batter who was declared out will come to the plate. Under high school (NFHS) rules, any additional outs recorded on the play stand - the other out on the play would not be nullified, and the defense could still benefit from the double play.

If the umpire is notified of such an infraction during a plate appearance (that is, a pitch has been thrown to the current batter, who has not yet been put out or become a runner), then the umpire considers the current batter and the previous one. If the current batter's name does not follow the previous actual batter's name in the written order, the current batter is improper. There is no penalty, but the situation is rectified — the proper batter comes to bat and assumes the improper batter's current count. In this situation, if the proper batter is on base, then they are skipped in the order, and the next batter in the order is now the proper batter.

Example situations
Suppose the batting order is: Abel, Baker, Charles, Daniel, Edward, Frank, George, Hooker, Irwin.

Example: A proper batter fails to bat and is called out
Abel bats and is put out. Charles then bats out of turn. Charles makes a safe hit, reaching first base. Before any pitch is thrown to the next batter, a member of the defensive team asks the umpire to make a ruling. RULING: The proper batter after Abel was Baker, not Charles. Baker is called out for failing to bat in his turn, and Charles is removed from base and comes to bat again, because he is now the proper batter.

For instance, on July 6, 2013, San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy submitted a lineup to the umpires with Gregor Blanco leading off, Marco Scutaro batting second, Pablo Sandoval batting third and Buster Posey hitting cleanup. After Blanco got on base and Scutaro made out, Posey improperly stepped to the plate and hit an RBI double to right field, scoring Blanco from third base. However, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly immediately appealed to plate umpire Tony Randazzo for a ruling and after discussion amongst the umpires, Sandoval was declared out for failing to bat in his turn, Blanco was sent back to 3rd base, and Posey, who was removed from the basepaths, came to bat again because he was now the proper batter. This time around, Posey flew out to end the inning, leaving Blanco stranded.

Example: An improper batter is legalized
Abel bats and is put out. Charles then bats out of turn. Charles makes a safe hit, reaching first base. Baker then comes to bat. A strike is pitched to Baker. A member of the defensive team then asks the umpire to make a ruling regarding the improper batting order. RULING: The first pitch to Baker made Charles's turn legal. The proper batter after Charles is Daniel, not Baker. Without penalty, Daniel comes to bat (replacing Baker) and assumes that one-strike count.

Example: An improper batter causes an out after a previous improper batter was legalized
Abel bats and is put out. Edward then bats out of turn. Edward reaches first base, and Charles then comes to bat and reaches base. The infraction is discovered by the defensive manager before a pitch is thrown to any subsequent batter, and it is reported to the umpire at that time. RULING: Edward did bat out of turn, but the first pitch to Charles legalized Edward's plate appearance. Therefore, the proper batter after Edward is Frank, so Charles is removed from the bases, Edward is returned to first base, Frank is called out for failing to bat in his proper turn, and George is now the proper batter.

Example: The proper batter is skipped due to being on base
Suppose that Charles often bats second but was written as the third batter for this game. Abel bats and is put out. Charles then bats out of turn and makes a safe hit, reaching first base. Baker then bats out of turn and receives a base on balls, advancing Charles to second base. Edward then comes to bat and takes a strike. The defense then appeals to the umpire. RULING: The first pitch to Edward legalized Baker's turn at bat. The proper batter after Baker is Charles, but he is on base, so he is skipped in the order; thus Daniel is now the proper batter. Because Edward's plate appearance had not yet finished, there is no penalty; Daniel comes to bat (replacing Edward) and assumes the one strike Edward received.

In this example, you will notice that the umpire ignores the fact that Charles previously batted out of turn. This underscores the principle that any pitch legalizes all previous turns at bat. Charles's turn at bat became legal when a pitch was thrown to Baker. The umpire needs to consider only Baker and Edward, the last two batters who have received a pitch.

Example: Substitutions and batting out of turn
When a substitute enters the game, he takes the written spot of the player whom he replaces. Suppose that George bats and is put out, then a pinch hitter, Stephen, comes to bat. Stephen (a) reports that he is batting for Irwin, or (b) doesn't report. Stephen hits safely and reaches first base. Hooker then comes to bat and hits safely, advancing Stephen. The defense appeals to the umpire that batter was out of turn.

RULING: In (a), Stephen's name replaces Irwin in the batting order. The first pitch to Hooker legalized Stephen's turn at bat. The proper batter after Stephen is Abel. Thus Hooker is removed from the bases for being an improper batter; Stephen returns to first base; Abel is called out for failing to bat in turn, and the proper batter is now Baker.

In (b), since Stephen did not report as a substitute, he legally enters the game in the place of the proper batter. Stephen's name thus replaces Hooker in the order, and Hooker is out of the game. Since Hooker was no longer in the game when he came to bat, he was an illegal substitute and not a batter out of turn. The penalty for this infraction is not related to batting out of turn; it is an illegal substitution.

NPOV
I have attempted to make this article NPOV, and I think I have done so to a satisfactory level. Does everyone agree, and can we now remove the notice? SamH 20:39, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Nice work. I've removed the NPOV message. akaDruid ([[User talk:Akadruid|Talk)]] 11:43, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Concorde
I removed ''However, following the Paris crash of the Concorde Airliner on July 25, 2000 they proved impossible to sell. In the end, they were sold (at a discount) on the corporate fleet market in Ireland.'' this statement is true, but cannot be referenced, hence could be termed original research, I have therefore commented it out - ClemMcGann 00:44, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

ExpertVerify tag
I went to the discussion page for details - and...? Bravada, talk - 22:47, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Card Key
VF 1KGOGO627749672 I have a 2001 Laguna II that came with two card keys, none of which is broken, although they're expensive to replace. So that will be removed.

Stolen text?
''The flowing lines of the newcomer’s elegant, uncluttered design express timeless beauty and the promise of sheer motoring enjoyment. The brand new V6 dCi, which is poised to become a benchmark in terms of performance and pleasure, delivers 235hp (173kW), while the new 3.5-litre petrolpowered V6 offers 240hp (175kW). Laguna Coupe stands out as an inspiring, fourseater with genuine sensual appeal and will be shown in further detail at the forthcoming Paris Motor Show in October.''

This sounds like it was lifted straight from an advertising campaign. It really is not wikipedia material. Ftpaddict (talk) 21:48, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Question
Some of the information in this article is a bit flawed. The 2.0 16v was definitely available in the phase 2 (both the Volvo and Later Renault engines, both rated at 140ps.) Although there was a 2.0 16v in the first generation, only the Volvo engine was used at that time. The 2.2dT in the second generation was the same as that in the first and did not feature direct injection, so the '2.2 dTi' described in the 1b section doesn't actually exist. 2.0 8v engines are not described in the 1b section, despite the fact that these engines persisted to the end of the Laguna 1's production in auto models, and the 2.0 8v was available for at least some period after the facelift with a manual transmission. Additionally, no 1.6 16v engine was in a pre-facelift Laguna 1, and likewise the 24v v6 was available following the 1b facelift in 1998. As I've said, these views are speculation, and may not be correct so if anybody can take the time to verify these facts and amend the article accordingly, that'd probably be good. 81.157.137.28 (talk) 23:09, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Reliability Laguna II Phase I & table use
Guys and girls,

Could someone explain to me why there isn't a part that covers the reliability of this type of Laguna? I'd say this is a pretty essential part to discuss since the Laguna II phase I was pretty badly constructed (yet I still drive one...), and only from 2004 onwards Renault have improved upon this. Also check the S-class (W220) wiki, where they've added a piece of text which discusses the points of interest for used models. Perhaps it's possible to do something similar on this wiki? Also, can someone who's handy with the table thing put the enginevalues in a decent table? I've tried to but I can't get it to work properly. Fleppen (talk) 13:16, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Also the 3.0 V6 dCi and 3.5 V6 that are used in the Laguna III Coupé are not new engines. Both of these engines were already used in Nissan models (most notably the PathFinder and Murano in Europe).Fleppen (talk) 13:35, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

 * You cannot write negatives unless you can support your criticism with independent verifiable references. For what its worth, I owned a 2001 Concorde edition and experienced no problems ClemMcGann (talk) 14:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I've put the engines into a table - needs a bit of tidying / adding of links / prettifying but it's a lot better than before :) HiraV (talk) 10:19, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Right, so if I use the ADAC, ANWB or whatever to support those claims, it can be used? I'll look into those statistics. My current 2004 Grand Tour (not Grandtour btw, but perhaps the name varies per country?) hasn't got a lot of problems, but it's one that's built after Contrat 2009 was put in place :p 88.159.179.2 (talk) 19:46, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Possible Speed Control Problem
This falls into the coverage of breaking news, but since it will affect vehicle safety and purchase decisions, I wonder if readers of this article should be made aware of this 13 Feb 2013 news item:

 * "Frank Lecerf, from his home in Pont-de-Metz, near the French city of Amiens, was making his weekly trip to the grocery store in his Renault Laguna. He was going 60 miles an hour when the car's speed dial jammed. Lecerf tried to brake. Instead of slowing, though, the car sped up -- with each tap on the brake leading to more acceleration. Eventually, the car reached a speed of 125 mph -- and then remained stuck there. For an hour."

- Source, more details

Since I am new to this page, I invite the regulars to suggest if this info should be incorporated into the page, or point me to the relevant WP guidelines dealing with breaking but still relevant news so I can learn this for myself.

Termination of availability
"The above models all ceased production in the United Kingdom in the early months of 2012."

I didn't know Renault have produced any cars in the UK in the last 100 years? Tbirduk (talk) 21:16, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Wrong Picture caption?
Does the Picture called "1994–1998 Renault Laguna wagon" show a pre- or post Facelift model. There seem to be no difference to the "Facelifted Renault Laguna I wagon" shown below. Look at the Laguna page in commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Renault_Laguna 2003:C8:5F00:C300:8C4C:B219:F302:9147 (talk) 20:51, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

 * There are differences.
 * The rear bumper is different, there is a new plastic part at the lower part of the trunk door and the rear lights got bright red instead of tinted grey.
 * So the picture in this article clearly is a Phase II. 2A03:32A0:AC01:1DE1:8991:9F2A:6BE6:8AFF (talk) 10:03, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

516 Amherstia

Amherstia (minor planet designation: 516 Amherstia) was the 8th asteroid discovered by Raymond Smith Dugan, and was named after Amherst College, his alma mater. Amherstia is a large M-type main belt asteroid, with an estimated diameter of 73 km. It follows an eccentric orbit between Jupiter and Mars, with an orbital period of 4.39 years. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 13° to the ecliptic.

In 1989, the asteroid was observed from the Collurania-Teramo Observatory, allowing a light curve to be produced that showed an estimated rotation period of 7.49 hours and a brightness variation of 0.25 ± 0.01 in magnitude. On January 14, 2002, Amherstia was observed to occult the seventh-magnitude star SAO 60107 from ten sites in Florida. The measured timing chords were used to estimate a cross-section diameter of $65.144 km$ with a generally circular profile. The near infrared spectra of Amherstia suggests a surface consisting of a single mafic silicate with iron–nickel alloy. The infrared albedo is 16%.

Old Style and New Style dates

Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) indicate dating systems before and after a calendar change, respectively. Usually, they refer to the change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar as enacted in various European countries between 1582 and 1923.

In England, Wales, Ireland and Britain's American colonies, there were two calendar changes, both in 1752. The first adjusted the start of a new year from 25 March (Lady Day, the Feast of the Annunciation) to 1 January, a change which Scotland had made in 1600. The second discarded the Julian calendar in favour of the Gregorian calendar, skipping 11 days in the month of September to do so. To accommodate the two calendar changes, writers used dual dating to identify a given day by giving its date according to both styles of dating.

For countries such as Russia where no start-of-year adjustment took place, O.S. and N.S. simply indicate the Julian and Gregorian dating systems respectively.

Britain and its colonies or possessions
In the Kingdom of Great Britain and its possessions, the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750 introduced two concurrent changes to the calendar. The first, which applied to England, Wales, Ireland and the British colonies, changed the start of the year from 25 March to 1 January, with effect from "the day after 31 December 1751". (Scotland had already made this aspect of the changes, on 1 January 1600.) The second (in effect) adopted the Gregorian calendar in place of the Julian calendar. Thus "New Style" can refer to the start-of-year adjustment, to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, or to the combination of the two.

Start-of-year adjustment
When recording British history, it is usual to quote the date as originally recorded at the time of the event, but with the year number adjusted to start on 1 January. The latter adjustment may be needed because the start of the civil calendar year had not always been 1 January and was altered at different times in different countries. From 1155 to 1752, the civil or legal year in England began on 25 March (Lady Day); so for example, the execution of Charles I was recorded at the time in Parliament as happening on 30 January 1648 (Old Style). In newer English-language texts, this date is usually shown as "30 January 1649" (New Style). The corresponding date in the Gregorian calendar is 9 February 1649, the date by which his contemporaries in some parts of continental Europe would have recorded his execution.

The O.S./N.S. designation is particularly relevant for dates which fall between the start of the "historical year" (1 January) and the legal start date, where different. This was 25 March in England, Wales, Ireland and the colonies until 1752, and until 1600 in Scotland.

In Britain, 1 January was celebrated as the New Year festival from as early as the 13th century, despite the recorded (civil) year not incrementing until 25 March, but the "year starting 25th March was called the Civil or Legal Year, although the phrase Old Style was more commonly used". To reduce misunderstandings about the date, it was normal even in semi-official documents such as parish registers to place a statutory new-year heading after 24 March (for example "1661") and another heading from the end of the following December, 1661/62, a form of dual dating to indicate that in the following twelve weeks or so, the year was 1661 Old Style but 1662 New Style. Some more modern sources, often more academic ones (e.g. the History of Parliament) also use the 1661/62 style for the period between 1 January and 24 March for years before the introduction of the New Style calendar in England.

Adoption of the Gregorian calendar
Through the enactment of the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750, the Kingdom of Great Britain, the Kingdom of Ireland and the British Empire (including much of what is now the eastern part of the United States and Canada) adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752, by which time it was necessary to correct by 11 days. Wednesday, 2 September 1752, was followed by Thursday, 14 September 1752. Claims that rioters demanded "Give us our eleven days" grew out of a misinterpretation of a painting by William Hogarth.

Other countries
Beginning in October 1582, the Gregorian calendar replaced the Julian in Catholic countries. This change was implemented subsequently in Protestant and Eastern Orthodox countries, usually at much later dates and, in the latter case, only as the civil calendar. Consequently, when Old Style and New Style notation is encountered, the British adoption date is not necessarily intended. The start-of-the-year change and the calendar system change were not always adopted concurrently. Similarly, civil and religious adoption may not have happened at the same time or even at all. In the case of Eastern Europe, for example, all of those assumptions would be incorrect. Most nations of Europe and their colonies officially adopted 1 January as New Year's Day somewhat before they adopted the Gregorian calendar.

Bulgaria
Bulgaria officially adopted the Gregorian calendar on 1 April 1916, which became 14 April 1916. The Bulgarian Orthodox Church adopted the New Julian calendar on 20 December 1968.

France
France adopted the Gregorian calendar in December 1582. France changed New Year's Day to 1 January from 1564. Previously, France had counted various days as New Year's Day: Christmas, Easter-eve, 25 March (Lady Day).

Greece
Other countries in Eastern Orthodoxy eventually adopted Gregorian (or New Style) dating for their civil calendars, but most of these continue to use the Julian calendar for religious purposes. Greece was the last European country to change to Gregorian dating for civil purpose, in 1923. There is a 13-day difference between Old Style and New Style dates in modern Greek history.

Romania
Romania officially adopted the Gregorian calendar on 1 April 1919, which became 14 April 1919. This was commemorated in 2019 by the National Bank of Romania through the release of a commemorative coin of 10silver lei.

Russia
In Russia, Gregorian calendar dating came into use in early 1918, when 31 January 1918 was followed by 14 February 1918. (There had been a 13-day difference between Julian calendar and Gregorian calendar dates since 1 March 1900.)

It is common in English-language publications to use the familiar Old Style and/or New Style terms to discuss events and personalities in other countries, especially with reference to the Russian Empire and the very beginning of Soviet Russia. For example, in the article "The October (November) Revolution", the Encyclopædia Britannica uses the format of "25 October (7 November, New Style)" to describe the date of the start of the revolution.

Sweden and Finland
In Sweden (and Finland, then part of Sweden) the Gregorian calendar was introduced with effect from 1March 1753. For practical purposes, the Julian calendar applied until 17February 1753. The difference between the two calendars was then 11 days, so the next day after 17February was designated 1March and thus the eleven days from 18 to 28February 1753 have never legally existed in Sweden.

In 1700, there was an attempt to gradually introduce the Gregorian calendar in Sweden. The plan was to disregard all leap days from 1700 to 1740 and thereby to reduce the difference between the calendars every four years. However, despite a good start in 1700, the Swedish authorities – due to the Great Northern War –  neglected to skip the leap days in 1704 and 1708. As a result, Sweden had its own calendar during that period, called the Swedish calendar and, according to this plan, it would not be until 1748 that the Swedish calendar would coincide with the Gregorian calendar. All of this caused Charles XII to decide, in 1711, that in February 1712 the country would return to the old calendar. This was done by inserting an extra leap day after the regular one that year: Friday, 30 February 1712, the so-called tillökningsdag (supernumerary day). It was to be another 41 years before Sweden attempted the task again.

When, as a result of the Treaty of Fredrikshamn, the Grand Duchy of Finland became part of the Russian Empire on 17 September 1809, Finland reverted to the Julian calendar in compliance with Russian norms. As a result, dates in certain contexts were often entered with both the Old and the New Style.

The Americas
The European colonies of the Americas adopted the New Style calendar when their mother countries did. In what is now the continental United States, the French and Spanish possessions did so about 130 years earlier than the British colonies. In practice, however, most surviving written records of what is now Canada and the United States are from the 20 mainland British colonies, where the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750 was applied, twenty-four years before the United States declared independence. Canadian records also include documents of New France that reflect the New Style, as France adopted it in 1582. The language used in the record is likely to be a good indicator of which calendar was being used for the dates given. The same logic applies to the Caribbean islands.

In Alaska, the change took place after the United States purchased Alaska from Russia. Friday, 6 October 1867, was followed by Friday, 18 October. Instead of 12 days, only 11 were skipped, and the day of the week was repeated on successive days, because at the same time the International Date Line was moved, from following Alaska's eastern border with Yukon to following its new western border, now with Russia.

Transposition of historical event dates and possible date conflicts
Usually, the mapping of New Style dates onto Old Style dates with a start-of-year adjustment works well with little confusion for events before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar. For example, the Battle of Agincourt is well known to have been fought on 25 October 1415, which is Saint Crispin's Day. However, for the period between the first introduction of the Gregorian calendar on 15 October 1582 and its introduction in Britain on 14 September 1752, there can be considerable confusion between events in Continental Western Europe and in British domains. Events in Continental Western Europe are usually reported in English-language histories by using the Gregorian calendar. For example, the Battle of Blenheim is always given as 13 August 1704. However, confusion occurs when an event involves both. For example, William III of England arrived at Brixham in England on 5 November (Julian calendar), after he had set sail from the Netherlands on 11 November (Gregorian calendar) 1688.

The Battle of the Boyne in Ireland took place a few months later on 1 July 1690 (Julian calendar). That maps to 11 July (Gregorian calendar), conveniently close to the Julian date of the subsequent (and more decisive) Battle of Aughrim on 12 July 1691 (Julian). The latter battle was commemorated annually throughout the 18th century on 12 July, following the usual historical convention of commemorating events of that period within Great Britain and Ireland by mapping the Julian date directly onto the modern Gregorian calendar date (as happens, for example, with Guy Fawkes Night on 5 November). The Battle of the Boyne was commemorated with smaller parades on 1 July. However, both events were combined in the late 18th century, and continue to be celebrated as "The Twelfth".

Because of the differences, British writers and their correspondents often employed two dates, a practice called dual dating, more or less automatically. Letters concerning diplomacy and international trade thus sometimes bore both Julian and Gregorian dates to prevent confusion. For example, Sir William Boswell wrote to Sir John Coke from The Hague a letter dated "12/22 Dec. 1635". In his biography of John Dee, The Queen's Conjurer, Benjamin Woolley surmises that because Dee fought unsuccessfully for England to embrace the 1583/84 date set for the change, "England remained outside the Gregorian system for a further 170 years, communications during that period customarily carrying two dates". In contrast, Thomas Jefferson, who lived while the British Isles and colonies converted to the Gregorian calendar, instructed that his tombstone bear his date of birth by using the Julian calendar (notated O.S. for Old Style) and his date of death by using the Gregorian calendar. At Jefferson's birth, the difference was eleven days between the Julian and Gregorian calendars and so his birthday of 2 April in the Julian calendar is 13 April in the Gregorian calendar. Similarly, George Washington is now officially reported as having been born on 22 February 1732, rather than on 11 February 1731/32 (Julian calendar). The philosopher Jeremy Bentham, born on 4 February 1747/8 (Julian calendar), in later life celebrated his birthday on 15 February.

There is some evidence that the calendar change was not easily accepted. Many British people continued to celebrate their holidays "Old Style" well into the 19th century, a practice that the author Karen Bellenir considered to reveal a deep emotional resistance to calendar reform.

Differences between Julian and Gregorian dates
The change arose from the realisation that the correct figure for the number of days in a year is not 365.25 (365 days 6 hours) as assumed by the Julian calendar but slightly less (c. 365.242 days). The Julian calendar therefore has too many leap years. The consequence was that the basis for the calculation of the date of Easter, as decided in the 4th century, had drifted from reality. The Gregorian calendar reform also dealt with the accumulated difference between these figures, between the years 325 and 1582, by skipping 10 days to set the ecclesiastical date of the equinox to be 21 March, the median date of its occurrence at the time of the First Council of Nicea in 325.

Countries that adopted the Gregorian calendar after 1699 needed to skip an additional day for each subsequent new century that the Julian calendar had added since then. When the British Empire did so in 1752, the gap had grown to eleven days; when Russia did so (as its civil calendar) in 1918, thirteen days needed to be skipped.

Other notations
The Latin equivalents, which are used in many languages, are, on the one hand, stili veteris (genitive) or stilo vetere (ablative), abbreviated st.v., and meaning "(of/in) old style"; and, on the other, stili novi or stilo novo, abbreviated st.n. and meaning "(of/in) new style". The Latin abbreviations may be capitalised differently by different users, e.g., St.n. or St.N. for stili novi. There are equivalents for these terms in other languages as well, such as the German a.St. ("alter Stil" for O.S.).

Macbett

Macbett is Eugène Ionesco's satire on Shakespeare's Macbeth first staged in 1972.

Plot
Two generals, Macbett and Banco, put down a rebellion. In payment for their heroic service, Archduke Duncan promises to bestow on them land, titles and cash, but he reneges on the deal. Encouraged by the seductive Lady Duncan, Macbett plots to assassinate the Archduke and crown himself King. He tries to maintain his tenuous grip on the throne through a vicious cycle of murder and bloodshed. Meanwhile, he is haunted by the ghosts of his victims and discovers that his new wife is not all that she seems.

Themes
Written during the Cold War, Ionesco's Macbett remoulds Shakespeare's Macbeth into a comic tale of ambition, corruption, cowardice and excess, creating a tragic farce which takes human folly to its wildest extremes. Innovations include a long conversation between the thanes of Glamiss and Candor, the characters of a lemonade seller and butterfly hunter, and the revelation that the rightful heir to the throne is a worse tyrant than Macbett ever was.

Talk:Beanie (seamed cap)

Benny vs beanie
I remember when these were called "Benny" hats after the character who wore one all the time in the (predominantly) 1970s soap Crossroads. Is "beanie" a coruption of "benny"? Dainamo 20:41, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * How young did you say you were? ;-)  "Beanie" has been around since at least the 1940s (which is before even my time).  So it's probably more that "Benny" was a clever pun based on the character Benny wearing a beanie.  Elf | Talk 21:03, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Is this article about a cloth cap, like a baseball or cyclist's cap without a brim, or is it about a knit hat, like a tuque? It looks mixed-up to me. —Michael Z. 2005-12-6 01:44 Z

A Beanie cap is a rigid little hat with a set of 2 propellers on top of it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.70.8.194 (talk) 21:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Is "beanie" a regionalism?
I find this usage of "beanie" to mean a "ski hat" or a "knit cap" to be very odd. I've never heard that usage here in the Pacific Northwest where I grew up; to me, a "beanie" is a skull cap with a propeller. Knit caps are something entirely different from beanies in my dialect. -- ManekiNeko | Talk 08:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Here in the American Mid-South, we refer to the cap being described as a "sock cap," a "stocking cap," or more colloquially a "toboggan." A beanie is, to me, similar to a yarmulke, or a brimless baseball cap, with or without propeller! Iamvered 05:39, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I am from Northwest Georgia, where the dialect and word choices reflect that of the greater Tennessee valley region. I grew up hearing "toboggan" for a brimless knit hat (with or without eye holes). Only once I got a little older did I hear Northerners speak of toboggans as sleds. I have never in my life heard them called "beanies", except perhaps at a department store. More recently, I have used the word "skullcap" because less and less people know what I mean by "toboggan".Jetimms (talk) 18:58, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

==Did beanies really fall out of favor by the 1950's? In the June 29th, 1949 episode of The Martin and Lewis Show (radio: http://www.archive.org/download/MartinAndLewis_OldTimeRadio/MartinLewisShow490628_013_JohnCarradine.mp3), Jerry gives a propeller beanie to a precocious boy he and his date agreed to babysit. When the boy asks why he should be interested in a beanie hat, Jerry and his date struggle to explain the hats' appeal for kids saying "they're crazy about them." Jerry goes on to say that beanies with propellers "are a novelty, a new gimmick," suggesting that beanies were still very popular and in fashion--at least with kids. I know radio shows are not necessarily experts on their subjects matter, but they tended to reflect truths about popular culture. alainsane (talk) 04:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)alainsane

 * In SE Australia, a tight wollen cap (what passes as a "toque" in the praries of Canada) is almost ubiquitously referred to as a beanie. My personal experience is that many Australians find it hilarious that it means skull-cap with a propellor to many North Americans. Rickert 13:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

 * It doesn't necessarily mean that. A beanie to us is exactly what it is to you — a tight knit cap without a bill. College freshmen were often required to wear one in school colors as a sort of initiation. The propeller is just one variety. Daniel Case 00:10, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 * They're known as a beanie across Australia, I'm fairly certain. The "beanie swings away from the 'form' it favors in the south to the 'function' of the north" bit of the article definitely gives this article a sense of regionalism.

Yes, there are many synonyms for this type of hat. However, some of them given are unrefrenced or vague, and are removed. They are knit hat, knit cap - refers to method of making rather than type of hat. ski capor, chook - no refrences found on web. boggan - no refrences found, and sounds like slang. warm winter hat - numerous head-warmers are not beanies.

Beanie's in 1872?
John Tenniel's drawing of Tweedledee & Tweedledum, published in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass", in 1872, has the brothers wearing beanies. It would appear that they were already a symbol of some sort, perhaps childish silliness, much early than the 1920's as mentioned in the article. I wonder how far they really go back? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.212.235.154 (talk) 11:14, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The 'beanies' in the Tenniel are a version of the commonplace school cap which was until recently a standard part of school uniform for children in the UK and which is still current for many schools here. The school cap (for which there doesn't seem to be a Wikipedia page) gave rise to the sports cap awarded to a player who represents their country in an international match. In neither case have I ever heard these caps referred to as 'beanies' and I would doubt whether Lewis Carroll or Tenniel ever did.--Coconino (talk) 14:38, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Tweedle-dee & Tweedledum's caps in the picture have brims (like a standard school cap) and so do not fit the description of a 'beanie' in this article. I've removed it. 86.156.119.51 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:13, 20 January 2011 (UTC).

A forgotten beanie?
In the early sixties, I attended a Catholic grammar school. All the girls wore little navy blue nylon beanies to church during the week. They matched our uniforms. Other schools with red uniforms had red beanies. That was when women were expected to wear a head cover during Mass.

It should also mention that it's now commonly used to refer to a tuque.  Given the similarity to toque (a completely different hat) it's no surprise to me that people found another word to use.  I"m not even 100% that's the correct word to use for what I'd simply call a knit hat, but it's the most sourced attempt on wikipedia, and following policy of verification over truth I'd stick with that.  The true answer lies in the history of the clothing, not the etemology of the words "beanie" or "tuque" but without researching it we won't know.  I'm not a hat expert and could't point you to the first person to make one or give it a name.

Tuque
I'm a bit confused about this line "In Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom, the term "beanie" may also be applied to a knit cap known as a tuque." As far as I know, nobody in Canada calls it a beanie and it is only in Canada that it is ever referred to as a tuque. Canking (talk) 10:47, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Trying to make more clear
I've tried to make the article a little more clear by moving the picture to the top, added a hatnote to tuque. Also put tuque on the DAB page. Referring to a tuque as a beanie might not be "proper," but it seems pretty common. I also think to put pictures on the DAB page.

This page should be titled 'Tuque' not 'Beanie'
In my opinion 'Beanie' should redirect to Tuque, not vice versa. In fact, it looks like this page used to be Tuque, given that the word 'tuque' is used 23 times to describe the item in question, and 'beanie' a mere 3 times (and one of them, significantly, as the first instance in 'Other names'). Use the name that the people who most use this article of clothing use to refer to it: tuque. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.70.84.80 (talk) 23:53, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Things are a little weird here. Tuque redirects to Beanie.  Beanie (North America) is an independent article from Beanie, but Talk:Beanie has been redirected to Talk:Beanie (North America) (here), which can be very confusing.  No idea how things got this way.

 * I think that the Beanie article should be renamed/moved to Tuque, focus on the knit cap, and also point to the North American variant. Beanie (North America) should focus on the non-knit cap (with or without visor and/or propeller), and also point to the other article. Beanie should go to a disambiguaton page, pointing to both alternatives, as well as any others.  Comments?  Reify-tech (talk) 00:39, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * The title Beanie (North America) is entirely erroneous. The term is not exclusive to North America — it is used in Australia, for example, and an Australian looking for the article on the beanie would not welcome an article referring to North America in the title.  If disambiguation is needed, it should be Beanie (headwear) or similar, not a geographical reference.  That said, whether the title should refer to "beanie", "tuque" or some other variation depends on which is most universally common, based on WP:TITLE.  —sroc (talk) 03:24, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * That said, Beanie is currently a stub of an article apparently dealing with the same subject matter, so I would support moving the current article to Beanie. —sroc (talk) 03:25, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * At the very least, the article at Beanie must be merged or replaced with this far more advanced article. —sroc (talk) 03:26, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * FYI:
 * Google search for toque or touque = About 6,680,000 results
 * Google search for beanie = About 32,400,000 results
 * —sroc (talk) 03:39, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Please read both articles completely. I think they stand well separately without much overlap, and forcing them together will only confuse things further.  The real issue is that the names of things are used differently in different regions of the world.  What I would like to do is sort out the terminology and present it as clearly as possible, as I propose above.  Note that the Talk for both articles is directed here, so it's important to be clear which article you're talking about.  Reify-tech (talk) 04:51, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Whoa! Slow down! Somebody put a redirect away from Tuque, completely hiding the original article and making it inaccessible. I have reverted the redirect, so this work isn't lost.  This is not about claiming exclusive use of the word "Beanie" by one group or another. It's about reducing confusion by explaining what different usages are, and pointing to the 2 articles that describe the major types of hat that have been called a "beanie".  Please do not make abrupt changes without discussing them here.  Reify-tech (talk) 11:43, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm restating what I propose to do:
 * I think that the Beanie article's modest content should be redistributed between Tuque and Beanie (North America), as appropriate. Tuque focuses on the knit cap version, and that article should also point to the North American variant. Beanie (North America) should keep its focus on the non-knit cap (with or without visor and/or propeller), and also point to the Tuque article.  Beanie should become essentially a disambiguation page, pointing to both alternatives, as well as any other meanings of the word.  Reify-tech (talk) 22:12, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying. I see now that what Americans call a "beanie" (which seems to be like a baseball cap?) is quite different from what Australians for example call a "beanie" (i.e., a tuque).

For the record, I haven't moved/redirected any of these pages, but I did remove the odd redirect from Talk:Beanie to Talk:Beanie (North America) — which, for example, meant being on the Beanie article and clicking on the "Talk" tab and then the "Article" tab ended up on a completely different article!

It should be noted that there is already a disambiguation page at Beanie (disambiguation), so perhaps this needs to be moved to Beanie after the content on that existing page is redistributed appropriately.

My main issues are:

 * I don't think the use of the geographical description "North America" is appropriate to disambiguate the title (per WP:NATURAL). The title should be disambiguated by something that relates to the subject matter rather than where the particular term is used.  Is this type of "beanie" not found anywhere else in the world?  Can a more neutral term be used?  I would prefer to see a descriptive title such as Beanie (seamed cap) or a more neutral term such as Skully (cap), but if it is only ever found in North America and this must be used to disambiguate, I think it should be Beanie (North American headwear).

 * Is Tuque the best title for that article? Judging by the article and its talk page, this term appears to be primarily Canadian usage, so the title disregards the names used in the rest of the world for this item of clothing.  It's called a "beanie" in Australia at least, and no doubt elsewhere, where the word "tuque" is virtually unheard of (other than people from Canada).  This is a discussion that needs to be had at Talk:Tuque, but perhaps this is a good opportunity to address these issues at the same time in the interests of clarity and perhaps consistency.

 * It is confusing and unhelpful that Beanie (disambiguation) currently opens with: "A beanie is a kind of hat." And then goes on to list: "Beanie (North America), a non-knitted hat with or without a visor."  No mention of the article at Tuque at all.  How much effort does an Australian looking for the article on a "beanie" (tuque) need to go to before (hopefully) finding the right page.  I think this needs to be moved to Beanie and structured along these lines:

 * Beanie may refer to:
 * Beanie (seamed cap), in North American usage, a cap made from cloth joined by a button at the crown and seamed together around the sides
 * Beanie, in British and Australian usage, a knitted cap also known as a tuque
 * A type of motorcycle helmet
 * Beanie may also refer to…

Thoughts? —sroc (talk) 16:10, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

I suppose what I am proposing, once the content from the current Beanie article is redistributed as User:Reify-tech suggested, is:

 * Beanie (North America) → Beanie (seamed cap) or some other similarly neutral name
 * Tuque → Knit hat
 * Knit cap (currently redirects to Beanie) → redirect to Knit hat
 * Beanie (disambiguation) → Beanie reworked as set out above —sroc (talk) 16:32, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that might be reasonable, except with the main knit-cap article at knit cap rather than knit hat. It's very strange to call such a formless thing a "hat". --Trovatore (talk) 16:36, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I'd be happy either way. —sroc (talk) 16:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

 * What you've restated above is more or less what I had in mind. Two separate articles with neutral descriptive titles for two very different hats, and an NPOV disambiguation page for the term "Beanie", pointing to both (as well as other meanings). And mutual cross-reference pointers between the two articles, so that interested readers are aware of the other usage of the term.

 * I'm happy with changing "North America" to the more descriptive "seamed cap", as you suggest. "Knit cap" is fine with me, as more widely understood than "Tuque", which should redirect to it.

 * Once its modest content is redistributed, I'm not sure whether Beanie needs to exist in addition to Beanie (disambiguation). If it does persist, it should just describe the different regional usages for the term in a neutral way, and clearly point to the two main articles for content.  But this sounds more like a secondary disambiguation page.  Reify-tech (talk) 17:54, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

 * As there are two distinct types of "beanie" and each has its own page, I don't think it's necessary (nor WP policy) to have a separate article at Beanie for "there are two types of beanie" separate from the disambiguation page. The disambiguation page should simply be moved to Beanie with the various possible meanings, and hatnotes on each of the Beanie (seamed cap) and Knit cap articles to point to each other in case someone inadvertently lands on the wrong one.

 * Reify-tech, as you seem to have good grounding on both types of beanie, and this was initially your genesis, would you like to redistribute the content from the current Beanie page before the pages are moved? I'm sure you'll do the merging process more justice than I would, given my ignorance of the "North American" variety.  —sroc (talk) 01:38, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I have copied over whatever seemed usable from Beanie, and made a first cut at sorting out the many different names in a semi-coherent fashion. There are no references for the names, but there never were any to begin with; that can be sorted out after the dust has settled.  I also moved the article Beanie (North America) to Beanie (seamed cap) as previously agreed, moved the Talk page in tandem, and fixed up the direct links.  A bot is supposed to find and fix any double redirects later.  I can't perform the other needed moves, because the target name is already in use.  Unless somebody watching here has Admin status, we'll have to compile a list of requested moves, and submit them.  In the meantime, we can start work on the Beanie (disambiguation) page.  Reify-tech (talk) 21:54, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Reify-tech! I've updated the Beanie (disambiguation) page. I don't have privileges to move over existing pages either, so I think a request is in order. —sroc (talk) 22:10, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I have requested the following moves:

 * Beanie (disambiguation) → Beanie
 * Tuque → Knit cap

Remaining work, once the moves are done:

 * Fix redirect from Knit hat → Knit cap (after knit cap has moved, to avoid a double-redirect
 * Update Beanie disambiguation page to link to Knit cap instead of Tuque

—sroc (talk) 22:21, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Sounds OK to me, except that I think the admin might want to keep the name Beanie (disambiguation) and just delete Beanie. Once the moves are done, we can patch up the links.  Reify-tech (talk) 22:32, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Nah, the "(disambiguation)" is only used when there is already an article for the exact title for the "primary use" of a term. Now that the article has been deleted, the disambiguation page has been (rightly) moved to Beanie.

 * I've also tidied up the links in the disambiguation page and the hatnotes (no pun intended) for Beanie (seamed cap) and Knit cap to better reflect their new homes. Much clearer and neater now.  Thanks for all your help! —sroc (talk) 01:41, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I've reworked most of the references to "tuque" to say "knit cap" instead. I didn't purge all references, because it seemed a bit extreme, and I don't want to gratuitously offend any Canadians by completely banishing the word, even from descriptions of the Montreal Canadiens. 8^)  Reify-tech (talk) 03:44, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Yes, I did see that. You beat me to the big clean-up.  Well tempered with the generic "knit cap" throughout and other references to "tuque" (and others) as appropriate.  It looks great!  —sroc (talk) 11:32, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

 * People in California refer to knit caps as beanies. Sorry to throw a wrench in the mix for you, but it looks like 'North American usage' is only regional to parts of North America and should be qualified as such. --2601:9:4081:7F06:C5F5:1C0A:1B33:ECEA (talk) 20:01, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
