Education in Warsaw

Warsaw is one of the most important education centres of Poland. It is home to four major universities and over 62 smaller schools of higher education. The overall number of students of all grades of education in Warsaw is almost 500,000 (29.2% of the city population; 2002). The number of university students is over 255,000.

The University of Warsaw (Uniwersytet Warszawski, 55,000 students, 19 faculties) was established in 1816, when the partitions of Poland separated Warsaw from the oldest and most influential Polish academic center, in Kraków. Warsaw University of Technology (Politechnika Warszawska, 31,000 students, 18 faculties) is the second academic school of technology in the country, and one of the largest in Central Europe, employing 2,000 professors. It was established in 1898 as the Nicolas II's Technical Institute, in 1915 changed the name at the present one. Other institutions for higher education:
 * Medical University of Warsaw (Warszawski Uniwersytet Medyczny, the largest medical school in Poland and one of the most prestigious – established in 1950 as the Medical Academy (earlier a medicine was being lectured at the Medical Faculty of the University of Warsaw), the present name obtained in 2008; 10,000 students, 4 faculties;
 * National Defence University University (AON), highest military academic institution in Poland, established in 1951 with seven faculties;
 * Fryderyk Chopin University of Music (Uniwersytet Muzyczny Fryderyka Chopina), the oldest and largest music school in Poland, and one of the largest in Europe, established in 1810 with six faculties;
 * Warsaw School of Economics (SGH), the oldest and most renowned economic university in the country, established in 1906 as “August Zieliński's Men's Private Trade Courses”, the present name obtained in 1916, but between 1949 and 1991 had the name “Main School of Planning and Statistics”; 18,000 students. There are no faculties as all the professors work in the five colleges and the educational programs are being made by the whole university, not by a given college;
 * University of Life Science (SGGW) - the largest agricultural university founded in 1816 as the Agronomic Institute, since 1840 – Institute of Forestry and Farming, since 1919 – the Main School of Farming (this is still the university's name in Polish); 30,000 students, 13 faculties.
 * Academy of Physical Education (AWF) – established in 1929 as the Central Institute of Physical Education, the present name obtained in 1949; it has three faculties.

The Copernicus Science Centre, a science museum, is located on the bank of the Vistula River in Warsaw. It contains over 450 interactive exhibits that enable visitors to single-handedly carry out experiments and discover the laws of science for themselves. The Centre is the largest institution of its type in Poland and one of the most advanced in Europe.

Special police

Special police usually describes a police force or unit within a police force whose duties and responsibilities are significantly different from other forces in the same country or from other police in the same force, although there is no consistent international definition. A special constable, in most cases, is not a member of a special police force (SPF); in countries in the Commonwealth of Nations and often elsewhere, a special constable is a voluntary or part-time member of a national or local police force or a person involved in law enforcement who is not a police officer but has some of the powers of a police officer.

Canada

"Special police" is not a term used in Canada, but specialized police agencies exist in Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Ontario.

In Alberta, special police forces can be maintained by transit authorities and universities and are usually referred to as protective services. Protective services are staffed by unarmed community peace officers who have law enforcement powers but cannot enforce criminal legislation.

In British Columbia, any provincially-approved entity or First Nation can establish a designated policing unit (DPU) to supplement "the policing and law enforcement otherwise provided by the provincial police force or a municipal police department." Although officers of a DPU are armed police officers with the same authority as any other municipal police officer, designated policing units must comply with stricter regulations compared to municipal police services and are led by a Chief Officer, who has less authority over their staff than an ordinary police chief. As of 2022, there are three designated policing units in the province: the Metro Vancouver Transit Police, which provides police services to TransLink, the regional transit provider in the Vancouver metropolitan area; the Organized Crime Agency of British Columbia, which is responsible for investigating and prosecuting organized crime rings; and the Stlʼatlʼimx Tribal Police Service, which serves ten St'at'imc communities in the northern end of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District.

There is one special police force in Nova Scotia, the Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission Bridge Patrol. The Patrol is composed of special constables with limited police authority to enforce traffic violations on or near Bridge Commission property.

In Ontario, any organization can request the authority to raise a special constabulary from the local police services board. With some exceptions, officers employed by special constabularies do not carry guns and cannot refer to themselves as police. In general, special constables in Ontario employed by special constabularies have full police powers — including the ability to enforce the Criminal Code — but only on, between, or in relation to property owned by the organization that is responsible for the special constabulary. As of 2022, there is one special constabulary with armed employees, the Niagara Parks Police Service, which is responsible for providing police services to property owned or maintained by the Niagara Parks Commission. Special constabularies are also maintained by universities, transit systems, and public housing authorities.

Former Yugoslavia
The Special Police were a branch of the Regular Police who were used for restoring peace and stability if it had been heavily disturbed, counter-terrorism, countering violent groups, and repressing riots (especially in prisons). The Special Police also provided security and public peace, investigated and prevented organized crime, terrorism and other violent groups; protected state and private property; and helped and assisted civilians and other emergency forces in cases of emergency, natural disasters, civil unrest and armed conflicts.

Greece
The term "Special (Police) Guards" (Ειδικοί φρουροί) describes a special class of police personnel, employed on a 5-year contract to supplement regular police officers. The idea for the creation of the category is attributed to Michalis Chrisochoidis and Chief Ioannis Georgakopoulos and was realised in 1999. Special Guards number 2,000 out of the 65,000-strong force.

Indonesia
Special police in Indonesia, locally known as Kepolisian Khusus, refer to law enforcement agencies outside the Indonesian National Police. These law enforcement agencies are under supervision and are trained by the National Police. They include the Agricultural and Animal Quarantine Police, Forestry Police, Municipal Police, Prison Police, Railroad Police and Special Police for Management of Marine, Coastal Region and Remote Islands.

The Indonesian National Police also have their own special police unit, the POLSUSPAS (Police Special Penitentiary). It is a Special Police Corps (Special Police) as well as ASN (Civil Servants) under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. It is tasked with supervising, coaching, security and safety for convicts and detainees.

New Zealand
Aside from the New Zealand Police, special powers are derived in legislation for customs officers, Fisheries Officers, and Fire Police. The Fire Police hold the full legal powers of a Police Constable when on official duty; Customs Officers, Fishery Officers, and Aviation Security Officers have limited powers (including the power to arrest or detain) in particular circumstances.

Northern Cyprus

 * TRNC Special Operation Department

United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, special police force has a special meaning in law and describes one of the forces defined as such in legislation including:

 * Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005
 * Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006
 * Police and Justice Act 2006

These are managed by government departments other than the Home Office, and have duties and responsibilities associated with particular legal or illegal activities rather than the geographical areas which are served by a single territorial police force.

There are three such forces:
 * British Transport Police: Responsible for policing the rail network in Great Britain.
 * Civil Nuclear Constabulary: Non-military nuclear installations and non-military nuclear material in transit.
 * Ministry of Defence Police: Ministry of Defence property, personnel, other defence interests, UK nuclear weapons and special nuclear materials.

The National Crime Agency (whose full powers are limited to England and Wales) is not a police force but an agency responsible "to the Home Secretary and, through the Home Secretary, to Parliament." The NCA has the power to direct police forces within England and Wales, and the British Transport Police, to provide officers or undertake specific activities. Within Scotland and Northern Ireland, however, the power to direct assistance is limited to reflect the devolved administration of policing. The NCA enabling legislation does not allow the Home Secretary to give "directed tasking arrangements" to Scottish or Northern Irish police forces. NCA officers can be 'triple warranted' – with powers of a police officer, immigration officer and customs officer.

United States
In United States terminology, special police can mean:
 * Auxiliary, reserve, or special police; members of volunteer, unpaid or paid, part-time unit of a larger, full-service law enforcement agency (such as the NYPD Auxiliary)
 * Company or private police
 * Fire police
 * Security police or private security officers granted law enforcement authority
 * State- or jurisdiction-specific variations of ‘special police officer,’ such as Massachusetts’ ‘Special State Police Officer,’ or Kentucky and New Jersey’s ‘Special Law Enforcement Officer'

While no single definition of ‘special police’ prevails across the United States, it is typically understood to mean either a law enforcement agency working for a unique jurisdiction (such as a hospital or park) or a law enforcement officer whose authority, training, and experience may differ somewhat from a ‘regular’ law enforcement officer (LEO).

The term can also refer to limited police power granted in some jurisdictions to lifeguards, SPCA personnel, teachers, and other public sector employees which is incidental to their main responsibilities.

The specific powers granted to special police officers vary widely from state to states and sometimes within a single state. Some states, such as Maryland, New York, and the District of Columbia, grant full police/peace officer authority to SPOs for use in whatever area they are employed to protect. They may make traffic stops in their jurisdiction if they have had accredited training. They are also permitted to conduct traffic control and investigations pertaining to the area protected by them.

In some jurisdictions, SPOs may be granted only limited arrest authority in specific circumstances, while in still other jurisdictions, SPOs are granted no more authority than an otherwise private citizen could exercise in effecting a citizen’s arrest. Many jurisdictions permit SPOs to carry a firearm (some even while off-duty, with some SPOs being covered under LEOSA), but some are not permitted to do so. Even in the latter case, however, they are typically permitted to carry at least OC spray (pepper spray), a baton, and/or handcuffs.

Some SPOs are permitted to conduct traffic stops. In these cases, the SPOs typically (although not always) hold ‘full’ police powers. SPOs that are primarily responsible for law enforcement in a given jurisdiction (such as hospital or campus police) are more likely to hold this authority than, for example, an SPO working for a municipality’s law enforcement agency as an auxiliary law enforcement officer.

Uniforms of SPOs also vary widely. SPOs that hold no or limited police authority are typically uniformed in a manner that makes it immediately apparent that they are not ‘regular’ law enforcement. This may range from distinctly different color uniforms than what local regular LEOs wear to some sort of patch or badge clearly identifying them as ‘special,’ ‘reserve,’ or ‘auxiliary’ LEOs. SPOs whom hold ‘full’ law enforcement authority typically wear uniforms that are similar to other local LEOs. While individual departments are usually given a wide latitude in the wear of their uniforms, some states have specific laws, codes, or regulations that require special police to be clearly identified as such.

California
The San Francisco Patrol Special Police is a neighborhood police force authorized in the City Charter, with officers appointed and regulated by the Police Commission after an initial security review by the San Francisco Police Department. Hourly rates for service are principally paid by private clients, with some cost to the city for general program administration concerning standards of professional performance, but not concerning day-to-day operations. Thus, the nature of this special police force is both quasi-private and quasi-public. The force has been in operation in the United States, city of San Francisco for over 162 years. By current City Code the force provides patrols on the streets of San Francisco as well as at fixed locations, and also provides a range of other safety services as requested by private clients.

Kentucky
In Kentucky, special police officers are Special Law Enforcement Officers (SLEO). They are sworn peace officers with limited jurisdiction. They have full legal police powers; explicitly including arrest authority, the ability to carry a weapon, and use emergency vehicles. However, their jurisdiction is specifically limited to public property that they have been hired to protect. While Kentucky law allows both the State and local governments to use SLEO's, most are used by the Kentucky State Police in the Facilities Security Branch.

Massachusetts
Within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, ‘special police’ usually refers to Special State Police Officers (SSPOs) whom are law enforcement officers typically employed by a college, university, or hospital police force. SSPOs must attend and graduate either the 16-week SSPO Academy hosted by the Massachusetts State Police (MSP) in New Braintree, Massachusetts, or any of the 20-week Recruit Officer Courses (the same academies attended by municipal LEOs across the commonwealth) approved by the Municipal Police Training Council (MPTC). Prospective SSPOs may have the training requirement waived by the Massachusetts State Police if they have completed an MPTC-approved Reserve/Intermittent Academy, have worked at least 2,000 hours as a part-time LEO, and have an associate’s degree or higher in criminal justice; SSPO candidates whom have a significant full-time LE work history and have previously completed any LE academy may also apply for a training waiver from the MSP. SSPOs typically have the same police powers as ‘regular’ police officers within the commonwealth, although they may only exercise it pursuant to their duties and usually only while on their employer’s property.

Officers and investigators of the Massachusetts Department of Correction (MADOC) and parole officers of the Massachusetts Parole Board (MPB) are also authorized to be sworn as SSPOs upon recommendation by the MADOC commissioner or chairman of the Massachusetts Parole Board, respectively, given they meet SSPO training requirements. Like other SSPOs, they may only exercise their police powers while on-duty and pursuant to their specific duties. MADOC SSPOs are permitted to exercise their police powers in and around Massachusetts penal institutions, while transporting prisoners, and in order to prevent a prisoner from escaping. Both MADOC and MPB SSPOs are permitted to serve warrants issued by the governor, the MADOC commissioner or by the MPB chairman. MPB SSPOs may also execute warrants issued by Massachusetts courts. MPB SSPOs may also arrest parolees that have violated their parole conditions or have committed a crime before the parole officer, and have full police powers when assisting a ‘regular’ police officer. Probation officers of the Massachusetts Probation Service are, unlike parole officers, not sworn as SSPOs. Instead, Massachusetts General Law specifically empowers them as ‘regular’ police officers whom may exercise such authority throughout the commonwealth, and are required to attend a Probation Service academy.

Locally, some towns and cities may use the term ‘special police officer’ to refer to reserve/part-time members of their police departments, such as in Wellesley and Lincoln, MA. If they are sworn, the state requires all special police officers to complete 372.5 hours of training, with an additional 56 hours for those carrying a firearm, the same as other part-time or reserve officers in Massachusetts.

There are also a plethora of ‘special police officers’ whom work in the city of Boston; these officers either work directly for the city (Boston School Police, Boston Municipal Protective Services, Boston Public Health Commission Police, Boston Housing Authority Police, or Boston Fire Department arson investigators) or for private security and armored car companies. The city of Boston required these agencies to attend a Boston Police Department-approved academy which was a minimum of 160 training hours. However, as of 1 July 2021, most Boston special police officers were stripped of their police powers and the automatic right to carry a firearm on-duty, due to the passage of Massachusetts bill S.2963. The bill requires anyone exercising police powers, including Boston special police officers, to have graduated from an MPTC-approved academy or the MSP-sponsored SSPO Academy; The city of Boston is still permitted to issue special police officer licenses, but prospective officers must meet the aforementioned requirements. As of September 2021, only 6 licenses had been re-issued, all to Boston Housing Authority special police officers.

Special police officers and SSPOs whom work for a ‘public agency,’ (i.e. any state or municipal agency, school, or hospital) and are authorized to carry firearms on-duty, qualify to carry a firearm concealed, off-duty, anywhere in the United States, as per the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act. This act does not grant any additional police authority to individuals that fall under it. Individuals employed by private agencies, i.e. security companies, private schools, or private hospitals, do not qualify for LEOSA protections, even if they are sworn SSPOs whom are authorized to carry a firearm on-duty.

New Jersey
In New Jersey, ‘special police’ generally refers to ‘Special Law Enforcement Officers’ (SLEOs), whom are typically utilized to supplement full-time ‘regular’ police officers. As codified within New Jersey state law, there are currently three classes of SLEOs, divided into ‘Class I,’ ‘Class II,’ and ‘Class III.’

Class I SLEOs are allowed to conduct routine traffic detail, spectator control, and similar duties, but are not authorized to carry a firearm while on duty. Such SLEOs are required to attend and graduate a state-approved ‘Class I academy.’ Class II SLEOs must attend a state-approved ‘Class II academy’ and are afforded full police powers while on-duty. They are authorized to carry a firearm.

Class III SLEO licenses are reserved for retired and fully-trained police officers who are under the age of 65 years old. They serve on a part-time basis and authorized to provide security while on school or college premises during hours when the school or college is normally in session or when occupied by students, teachers, or professors. These Officers do not replace regular law enforcement officers or school resource officers currently employed in schools.

By law, all armed SLEOs must return their firearm to the station house unless the firearm is owned by the SLEO in compliance with unit policy on personally owned firearms. All Class II and Class III SLEOs are fully trained and certified police officers in the State of New Jersey. Class I SLEOs go through different certifications, but still have police officer status. Class Two Officers in Newark carry weapons off duty.

New Orleans, Louisiana
The Superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department in accordance with New Orleans Home Rule Charter section 4-502 (2) (a) (b) and New Orleans Municipal Code 17271 MCS 90–86, may deputize private Security Guards, within the city limits, with limited Police Power as New Orleans Police Special Officers. Louisiana R.S. 40:1379.1 (b) states the Special Officer, when performing those tasks requiring a Special Officer's commission, shall have the same powers and duties as a Peace Officer, however, that when not performing these tasks directly related to the special officer's commission, he shall be regarded as a private citizen and his commission shall not be in effect. Special Officers may make arrest for felony or misdemeanor offenses on the property or area they are to protect, patrol, or in relation to their direct assignment. However, Special Officers still may make an arrest, as a private person, for a felony, whether in or out of his presence, under Louisiana Law CCRP Art.214 Arrest by private person; when lawful.

North Carolina
In North Carolina, some private companies have their own special police forces. These include hospitals, hotels, race tracks, and shopping malls and are more properly referred to as "Company Police". There are also companies that offer contract special police services for a fee to anyone who has property they wish to protect. In the state of North Carolina, special police differ greatly from security companies. North Carolina Special police officers have full arrest powers on any property they are hired to protect within the state as granted by the North Carolina Attorney General. Special police officers must also attend and pass the Basic Law Enforcement Training program like all other police officers. Security officers do not have arrest powers as their job is to mainly observe and report.

Oregon
Historically, Oregon had many more special police officers than the state does presently, beginning in the 19th century. While the roles they served have largely been replaced by more conventional law enforcement officers, some special police officers and the authorities for commissioning them remain. For instance, under Oregon law, mayors or similar officials who oversee a municipal water supply system are permitted to appoint special police officers which possess police powers for the purposes of maintaining the purity of drinking water. The regional government Metro appoints special police for the purposes of enforcing parking laws and codes. The city of Portland also commissions special police officers for this purpose.

Smithsonian Museum Special Police in NY, Virginia, & DC
The Smithsonian museum utilizes federal employees designated as "special police" under the United States Code (Title 10, Chapter 63, §6306). These officers patrol Smithsonian property in New York, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Smithsonian Special Police Officers carry firearms, mace and handcuffs and have arrest authority on federal Smithsonian property.

Tennessee
Tennessee code annotated 3-18-118 & T.C.A. 4-3-1106 defines the laws of the commissioning of special police officers/deputies in the state of Tennessee. Tennessee requires all special police officers to hold an active armed security license and possess equivalent military or civilian law enforcement training. These officers traditionally work for private companies as company police or in hospitals or private universities and their jurisdiction is limited to the property to which they are employed. While on duty these officers have full arrest powers and are able to act in law enforcement capacity.

The Department of Safety and Homeland Security maintains a unit of special police officers known as Facility Protection Officers who were created by the Tennessee General Assembly in T.C.A. 4-3-2019. These F.PO.s are managed by the Protective Services Division of the Tennessee Highway Patrol's Facility Protection Unit and provide police services to state facilities. F.P.O.s are granted the authority to make arrests for public offenses committed against state officials or employees or committed upon, about, or against property owned or leased by the state or on public roads or rights-of-way passing through such owned or leased property.

Texas
The Texas Special Police were formed along with the Texas State Police during the administration of Texas Governor Edmund J. Davis on July 22, 1870, to combat crime statewide in Texas. There were thirty special policemen assigned as auxiliary officers throughout the state. On April 22, 1873, the law authorizing the state police was repealed by the newly elected Democratic-controlled state legislature.

Texas state law authorizes mayors to appoint special police officers to enforce the municipality's laws, avert danger, or protect life or property; because of riot, outbreak, calamity, or public disturbance; or because of threat of serious violation of law or order, of outbreak, or of other danger to the municipality or its inhabitants.

Municipal special police officers are distinct and separate from municipal Marshals and their deputies, as special police derive their authority from the office of the mayor, while Marshals and their deputies derive their authority from the municipal council, and are generally permitted to perform a wider scope of duties such as issuing and executing warrants for arrest.

Virginia
Virginia possesses special police officers employed, typically, in the private police field. These officers are regulated by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services and are termed special conservators of the peace (SCOP). These officers must meet specific training requirements and be sworn in by the district court judge or magistrate in the area where they request a commission. These officers, when so sworn and certified, are permitted to utilize the term 'police' (this was removed by the state legislature in 2018 and they may no longer use the term) and are permitted to operate emergency vehicles equipped with red flashing/strobing lights (municipal law enforcement operates either blue or combinations of blue and red).

This class of officers should not be confused with armed security officers who in Virginia possess arrest authority on the property they are employed to protect. Armed security officers do not have fresh pursuit authority (off of their grounds/property) whereas SCOP officers do.

Washington, D.C.
Washington utilizes special police in both the public and private security sectors. Most work for private security companies although many security officers in the Washington, D.C., area also have special police status. Special police are required to be licensed and are appointed by the Mayor.

Vietnam
The Ministry of Public Security has a High Command of Mobile Police Force. It includes six regiments of mobile police and three battalions of special police.

Talk:Millennium Park

Financial Information
I moved the budget overrun section here to the talk page temporarily to work on piecing together a more comprehensive article as the project has now been officially completed. The budget overrun section, written by Toytoy, will be reintroduced into the article. --Gerald Farinas 14:57, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Budget overrun
The project was known for its notorious delays (it was originally intended to open in 2000 instead of 2004) and tripled costs. This park, in John Bryan, a fundraiser's words, would "be a monument to the very essence of the city of Chicago." It contains notable structures and gardens built by some of the best architects and designers available, and has a Frank Gehry-designed bandshell.

Many structures in the park were added, redesigned or modified. This resulted in budget increase. For example, the band shell's proposed budget was $10.8 million. It becomes $60.3 million in the end.

dissent...
I don't see anything postmodern about Millennium Park. If anything we could consider it "ultra-modern" or "wow-factor" modern. I don't know what this type of Gehry architecture is called, but it is certainly not postmodern. Postmodern architecture draws on historical themes and style, and adds a modern "twist" to them. There isn't any historical reference in the band shell, just references to Gehry's other work.

J. Crocker

I think in this sense "postmodern" serves as an ambiguous term referring to all contemporary architecture -- novel (i.e., not derivative) structures designed after the modern period. -- Downward spiral of death 23:45, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

This article does not cite sources, and some of the information appears to be based on copyrighted material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.192.21.43 (talk) 19:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Commercial photography ban
Does the ban on commercial photography have ramifications for GFDL licensing? Based on the article's source, it would appear that there are. Any thoughts? NatusRoma | Talk 06:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There is currently no ban on commercial photography in Millennium Park, rather the copyrights for the artworks in the park are still held by the artists. Under US copyright law there is no freedom of panorama for sculptures (although there is for buildings), so photographs of the artworks in Millennium Park are considered derivative works and only the artist can give permission for the publication of such works. ASAIK, the City of Chicago started trying to enforce a commercial photography ban, in part at least, because the city paid the artists for an exclusive licence to sell such derivative works. As far as Wikipedia is concerned, photographs of the artworks in the park should only appear here under claims of fair use. --JeremyA 18:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * that's not true, you can take pictures of whatever you want in public areas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.223.17.115 (talk) 01:47, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * (just stumbled upon this discussion page) unfortunately, cases like Gaylord v. United States and the legal threat of Anish Kapoor vs. NRA (National Rifle Association) prove that photography is restricted in the U.S. with regards to uses of copyrighted monuments and sculptures. Private/personal uses of images are allowed as well as fair use-type uses like in researches and education. The licenses permitted on Wikimedia websites are commercial-type (CC-BY-SA and CC-BY for examples). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 08:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Featured Topic Drive
I feel that the attractions at Millennium Park deserve some editorial attention. I think it may be possible to improve them to WP:FT status. I have created the template below to help us understand how the related articles are progressing. Right now we have Crown Fountain, Jay Pritzker Pavilion, BP Pedestrian Bridge, and Lurie Garden. There is a long way to go. Crown Fountain will be renominated after it ends its current WP:PR. There is a lot of work to do. Next up for me will be McCormick Tribune Plaza/Ice rink. I am not sure how much is out there beyond Chicago press on this one. The impetus for the drive came after discussions with User:Torsodog about our common interests in Lakeshore East and Millenium Park. He is doing a good job of cleaning up Cloud Gate. It will be on its way to WP:GAC soon, I imagine.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Follow the featured topic drive at WP:CHIFTD.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 21:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Budget Reference?
There doesn't seem to be a reference for the budget table. There is some important information there, and I went to source the Cloud Gate portion for its article, but I couldn't seem to find any reliable source stating that the original budget was $6 million. Anyone know where this info was originally found? Torsodog (talk) 05:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Pages needed for rewrite

 * donor history
 * story 2

Movies and TV shows
I got a list of movies and TV shows that have obtained consent to shoot in Millennium Park. Many of these movies have not been released yet, but if WP:RS make any reference to them being shot there add them to the aritcle. Here is what I have so far for movies: Nothing Like the Holidays also filmed at McCormick Plaza. The 2008 Beau Jest, He's such a girl shot in Millennium Park.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:20, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Not part of Grant Park
That text is incorrect. In fact the park is not even administered by the Chicago Park District, but by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. source User:scbomber 20:58, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

 * The park is indeed located in the area of Grant Park. From the Millennium Park official site: "What is now Millennium Park was first conceived in 1998 with the mission of creating new parkland in Grant Park to transform the unsightly railroad tracks and parking lots that had long dotted the lakefront." --TorsodogTalk 22:06, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, the reason why there are height restrictions and restrictions on buildings in MP (eg. why Harris theater is built underground and why the Pritzker Pavilion is labeled "not a structure") is because legally it is part of Grant Park and is governed by the Montgomery Ward cases. Alanscottwalker (talk) 00:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Green roof
Which part is a green roof? How big is it? Rmhermen (talk) 02:02, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * What green roof are you referring to? I can't really think of any green roof... -- T orsodo g Talk 02:10, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the fact that there's a parking garage (and streets!?) underneath makes it a "rooftop garden," if I understood that correctly. It's kind of odd, but much of Chicago's Loop seems to be built on two levels... This should be made clear if that's indeed the case, but I really don't know the specifics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.44.185.172 (talk) 19:20, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Pictures
Does anyone have access to AON? I believe a newer picture, including the newly completed Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago, along with its bridge that starts right across from the Pritzker lawn, would be nice.

Truncation
Why has so much of the information on the park been removed by JVCDude? I don't see a reason listed, and some of the other information, such as amenities and the controversies, would seem quite relevant, especially as this article was featured.

Orphaned references in Millennium Park
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Millennium Park's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "PVA": From Jay Pritzker Pavilion:  From Crown Fountain:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:52, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hundreds Visit Crown Fountain
The article states that hundreds of Chicagoans visit Crown Fountain hoping to see themselves on one of the two screens, citing the Chicago Sun-Times (fn. 96). While the reference does describe how almost a thousand Chicagoans appear randomly on the screens, I don't see where it says that hundreds visit to see themselves. (The title of the Sun-Times article states that "many" have yet to see their own image, while the body of the article refers to "several" people who have not seem themselves.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pinnochle (talk • contribs) 00:42, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Images in the Background section
The first four images in the gallery are ones that have been or currently are in the Background section of the article. I like the image of Lake Front Park (1) as it is discussed in the article and all of what is shown is now part of MP. I am not very fond of 2, as it is almost all the Art Institute and park south of MP - if you divided the image into 9 parts, MP would be less than 1/9th. 3 and 4 are of rail yards in Grant Park, but do not show much or any of what became MP - they are not in the article now.

I have been on top of Sears Tower several times in the past and looked for photos I had taken. I found one from Sears Tower taken in 1981 (6 in the gallery) that I like, and unexpectedly found I had also taken a photo of the rail lines in the part of Grant Park that later became Millennium Park (5 in the gallery).

What should be in this section of the article? I think 1 is good to include (see above for my reasons). I would leave out 2 as we already have one image from that era and it shows very little of what became MP. I would also not include 3 and 4 as they show very little or nothing of what became MP. I would have 1, then would have the image map, then one or perhaps two more images. I like 5 and 6 both. Should they be in a multiple image template? Also, could someone who knows Chicago better than I make sure I have identified 5 correctly? Please also weigh in on which images to include in this section. Ruhrfisch ><> ° ° 21:07, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I endorse your selections 1, 5 and 6 in a Template:Multiple image.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:32, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

 * You ask: "What should be in this section of the article?"

 * We are covering 150 plus years of the history of this corner of Grant Park (former Lake Front Park) in this section. So, if we wish to cover that history, we begin with Michigan Boulevard as the Lake Front.  In 1852, the railroad came in on a causeway in the lake.  (And Chicago, of course, owes much to that railroad.)  The area between Michigan Avenue and the railroad tracks was filled in and the US gave the right of way for that land to the City for a Park ("forever free and clear") (see Ward lawsuits).  The city raised its  entire Loop grade, including the Park above the railroad tracks. The city built a ball park and then a museum.  Eventually the ball park was removed and the Burnham plan was executed giving the 1/4 of what is today Millennium Park, that area closest to Michigan Avenue, a Beaux Arts, City Beautiful design, similar to what you find in today's south Grant Park. See the section on the todays new (replaced) Peristyle on Wrigley Square and the attached picture: Fountain and garden in Grant Park Chicago100 0026.JPG

I like image 2 (above) because it tells much of that history. The image that does not belong in the history section is the map of today's MP (as well as pictures 3 and 4). The map should be given its own section entilted "Map." I have no issue with the other new pictures (I don't know if you need both) except that unfortunately we don't have pictures of what the park area was like closest to Michigan Avenue just before redevelopment to tell the full story, here (and it was quite beautiful).Alanscottwalker (talk) 00:20, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

 * You also asked about your description of new pictures

 * 6 does not show all of the area of Millennium Park because the buildings block view of the area closest to Michigan Ave. (You may consider linking 6 in a gallery to the picture in the article's next section that shows almost exactly the same angle post development).

 * For 5, you describe it this way in the uploaded attached picture summary:
 * "Rail Yards in Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois, USA in 1981. View is from Monroe Street (just north of the Art Institute) looking north on the bridge over the rail lines in Grant Park (so Michigan Avenue is to the left). This later became Millennium Park and the foreground is what became Chase Promenade South and Boeing Gallery South, with what became Crown Fountain at left."

 * This description is incorrect. Assuming you took this from Monroe, looking north, you would be looking into what became Chase Promenade but not  Boeing Gallery. Boeing would be to the left in picture 6 but the Crown Fountain area (further  to the left) cannot be seen, at all.  Boeing is directly across from the Art Institute wing to the west of the railroad tracks. If you look at a Satellite picture, you can confirm this.Alanscottwalker (talk) 02:36, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your feedback and sorry to be slow in responding. I have corrected the image 5 description on Commons to reflect what you said. I was not sure if the location of the tracks had changed somewhat since 1981.
 * I am well aware that image 6 does not show all of what became Millennium Park, but it does show much more of what became the park than does the 1893 Art Institute sketch. It is also the best free view of much of that part of Grant Park (pre-MP) that has been found so far (I was on top of the Sears Tower with a camera on several occasions before the park was built and I may find a better image eventually). I had also noticed that it was similar to the view in File:Millennium Park from Sears Tower.jpg, but the two are different enough that I would not want to put them side by side.
 * There is always a question of where to begin with history. I note that the section is called Background (and not History) and does start with the railroad in 1852. Since the article is about a park built on land controlled by the railroad for over a century, that seems a reasonable place to start. Much of what you mention above is already in the article in some form. I ma not sure that the Michigan Boulevard is the old lake shore, railroad on a causeway at first, park reclaimed by landfill and then raised up needs to be in the Background section (does it really help increase the reader's understanding?). If it is included it will need to have refs to relaible sources (thoug I know Gilfoyle covers much of this). I do see your point about the 1893 Art Institute image showing the lake much closer to shore etc.
 * Finally, as for the map, the background section briefly describes some of the park's important features and also describes some of what has happened in the neighborhood since the park opened. I think that the image map is useful where it is now to help the reader understand where things are within the park in relation to each other - it helps coming before the descriptions of the features. I was bold and tried a new arrangement of images in the section. Let me know what you all think, Ruhrfisch ><> ° ° 04:42, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Caption
The videos displayed on Crown Fountain fade to black every 15 minutes.[86]

This is a poorly expressed caption. Make the interesting information the topic of the sentence. The fact that videos are displayed is interesting. The fact that they fade out after 15 minutes is just possibly the most boring piece of information that could be stated, true though it may be. Amandajm (talk) 01:57, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I think the problem is that people who have seen the fountains are used to images showing the video faces displayed. Due to WP:NFCC and limited use of fair use images on Wikiepdia, the FAC image review did not think such a fair use image was allowed in the article (there is one in the article on Crown Fountain) but an image of the faded to black display with water cascading down it was felt to be OK. So the caption is trying to explain what is going on in the picture shown. Any specific suggestions for improvement are welcome. Thanks again, Ruhrfisch ><> ° ° 03:23, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Robert Israel
Who is the "Robert Israel" mentioned in the template? I ask because right now the only Robert Israel on Wikipedia is a redirect, and it refers to a San Diego lighthouse keeper. Obviously not the person intended with this template. Either an article should be written about the Robert Israel who had something to do with Millennium Park, or else the name should be deleted from the template. --MelanieN (talk) 23:29, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

The 'second' millenium?
Is this park meant to commemorate the end of the second millennium? Or rather the beginning of the third? I suspect the latter, just as parties on December 31, 1899 were generally meant (erroneously) to commemorate the beginning of the 20th century more than the end of the 19th (cf. the play Alison's House). 2600:1004:B16F:EB9:85C4:B2BF:7399:5FAD (talk) 01:54, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Poorly cited lead paragraph claim
The first paragraph in the lead claims that 'In 2017, Millennium Park was the top tourist destination in Chicago and in the Midwest, and placed among the top ten in the United States with 25 million annual visitors.' Its source is this article which as far as I can tell is not a comprehensive reliable source on either the 'top destination in the Midwest' claim or the 'top ten in the US' claim. All it does is note one study and compare its numbers with numbers found elsewhere for other attractions. Frankly the top ten in the US part doesn't even seem supported by anything in the article.

This whole article needs some TLC. I have a feeling if it were nominated for FA today it would not be accepted... FAR candidate perhaps? SunTunnels</b> (talk) 01:41, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Maritime geography

Maritime geography is a collection of terms used by naval military units to loosely define three maritime regions: brown water, green water, and blue water.

Definitions
The elements of maritime geography are loosely defined and their meanings have changed throughout history. The USA's 2010 Naval Operations Concept defines blue water as "the open ocean", green water as "coastal waters, ports and harbors", and brown water as "navigable rivers and their estuaries". Robert Rubel of the US Naval War College includes bays in his definition of brown water, and in the past US military commentators have extended brown water out to 100 nmi from shore.

During the Cold War, green water denoted those areas of ocean in which naval forces might encounter land-based aircraft and brown water, land-based artillery. The development of long-range bombers with antiship missiles turned most of the oceans to "green" and the term all but disappeared. After the Cold War, US amphibious taskforces were sometimes referred to as the green-water navy, in contrast to the blue-water carrier battlegroups. This distinction disappeared as increasing threats in coastal waters forced the amphibious ships further offshore, delivering assaults by helicopter and tiltrotor from over the horizon. This prompted the development of ships designed to operate in such waters - the Zumwalt class destroyer and the littoral combat ships. Rubel has proposed redefining green water as those areas of ocean which are too dangerous for high-value units, requiring offensive power to be dispersed into smaller vessels such as submarines that can use stealth and other characteristics to survive. Under his scheme brown water would be zones in which ocean-going units could not operate at all, including rivers, minefields, straits and other choke points.

Brown water
The brown water environment starts from the shoreline through to the end of the continental shelf. A brown-water navy focuses on littoral operations and primarily takes a defensive role. "Brown water" or "brown ocean" is also used by meteorologists to refer to intertidal wetlands where the border between the ocean and dry land is not clear-cut.

Green water
The green water environment extends from the outer edge of the brown-water layer past any continental shelves, archipelagos and islands; perhaps a few hundred miles from shore. It is the most important maritime arena, including most coastal traffic and territorial waters, in which are found the great majority of a nation's maritime police, customs, environmental, and economic concerns. A green-water navy is capable of defense of its nation in depth and is a significant offensive force within its territory.

Blue water
The blue water environment extends from the outer edge of the green-water zone to the deep ocean of the world. A blue-water navy can project its nation's power throughout the world. The blue water policy was a long-standing political philosophy in Britain in the 18th century, which sought to advance British power through use of the Royal Navy, although the term "blue water" did not appear until 1834.

Talk:Dirty Sanchez (sexual act)

''This page was placed on Votes for Deletion in July 2004. Consensus was to keep; view discussion at /Delete.''

urban legend? ummm...
Basically, this is funniest shit I've ever read...dirty sanchez? Who's heard of hot plating? It's where you stretch some saran wrap over your lovers face and shit on it. Or the hot carl? It's fairly straightforward: Pull down your pants, and shit on your lover's chest. Or do it when you're spooning, that way you can share in the sexiness.

There's a lot of freaks out there. If it was an urban legend before it became a popular toilet-humor reference, I'm sure some poo-loving weirdos have made it a reality.

Yes, what's the basis for saying it's an urban legend? Face-sitting, front and back, is common enough.Dr Zen 06:45, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Dirty Sanchez is not face-sitting. Actually I'm inclined to remove the reference to face-sitting as it's a bit of a wild conjecture and in no way related to the act, which is performed with the finger. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:17, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

On the urban legend question, well if there are documented examples of this practise let's have them. Until then it could be regarded as an urban legend because of its viral circulation and the absence, or elusive nature, of concrete cases. I'm not wedded to this idea, though. It's a judgement call. One could just as well refer to it as an apocryphal sexual practise. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:06, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes there are web sites that feature the Dirty Scanchez... It is quite alarming to see it happen and you wonder what drugs the person is on....  usually after anal penetration the member is thrust into the mouth of the other partner(s)... More shocking than sexual... RW

 * If you're talking about ass to mouth, it's well-documented in gonzo porn and at least has the barest minimum of sexual arousal value (humiliation and/or actual penetration) and I know for a fact that the practice is not limited to just porn. A dirty sanchez is just plain absurd, most likely even for scat-lovers. I dare anyone to actually present links to a sites that even advertise to stock actual pornographic footage of it.
 * Peter Isotalo 10:46, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

And according to the definition of Urban Legend, this isn't one! Removed from the Sexual UL category. Oddity- (talk) 05:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

AJ Matthews T-shirt?
What is that line doing in the external links anyhow? Does it belong as a popculture reference? I'm going to move it, and hopefully someone will be able to figure that out for me.

South Park: "hitler," not "shitler"
I'm 99.9% sure that in the episode of South Park mentioned where Cartman gives Butters a poop "moustache," it's called a hitler, not a "shitler." Some googling seems that it should be "hitler" instead of "shitler" as well (Google query of "cartman gives butters a hitler" with quotes gives 160 results.. changing hitler to shitler and still keeping the quotes returns 0 results). I've changed it on the page. --Josh1billion 21:33, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Move
This page should be moved to Dirty Sanchez and the page currently there in the article space should be moved to Dirty Sanchez (disambiguation). At which point the current disambiguation notice should be changed to. With the exception of Mescaline—in which article the words "dirty sanchez" do not appear—all of the other things on that disambiguation page are derivative. If Mescaline is actually called "dirty sanchez" in any context, it is likely either less notable or derivative as well. savidan(talk) (e@) 01:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Low Point
Listing this sick sexual practice has to be a serious low point for this website. Jtpaladin 01:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Perhaps. Maybe giving information on suicide is instead. Or abortions. Or satanism. I'm not trying to incite anything, but a lot of people disagree with a lot of parts of society which we have documented here at Wikipedia. If it's out there and it's verifiable, it's probably in here.  Big Nate 37 (T) 20:15, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

 * So what, would you rather have someone walking around all day thinking "what the hell is a dirty sanchez?", and then the get to a comp and google it and be scarred, or come to wiki and read a nice sanitized description?--208.186.134.103 01:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I love going to articles like these and reading the discussion sections. It's hilarious. There's always a vocal group of people trying to "sanitize" WP even though it was never meant to be "clean". Objectivity sometimes necessitates separating your own personal values and judgments from subject matter in order to describe reality as it is rather than in terms of one's own cultural perceptions. Why even debate it? The fact there is this much discussion about the Dirty Sanchez is proof enough that it warrants description. The point of WP is to document, not to approve or disapprove. Things like this exist; the world is a dirty place. All manner of what many would term "depravity" pervades the Earth, whether or not one likes it. It is not the place of a Wikipedian to condone the subject matter of an article, it is merely our place to play the role of messenger--a messenger devoid of our own personal inclinations and opinions, no matter how "common sense" they may be and no matter how "indecent" the thing in question may be.

 * Personally, I have always found it a bit odd how the most vehement objections to WP articles always involve sexuality or deviant practices. I agree with Big Nate that it's strange that no one has a problem with an article on something like murder, or even disembowelment, but even the most subtle sexual topics or topics regarding behavior outside the cultural norms of mainstream Western society are harshly criticized. The article on "Tongue" contained a fierce debate over the inclusion of a description of the practice of tongue-piercing in the article and a photo of a pierced tongue. The complaint was that this was "offensive". Well, everything is bound to offend someone. It's ironic the same people are usually those who are very adamantly AGAINST political correctness for that very same reason, but fail to extend the concept when it involves their own moral sensibilities and cultural viewpoints. I digress.

 * My point is that WP is not limited to describing things that we agree with or like about our world. I have trouble understanding how one person could end the life of another person for sport, yet I have no problem with an article on serial killers because they exist. I find insects to be fairly disgusting as well, and the thought of someone eating worms or grasshoppers makes me want to vomit. But you know what? I have no problem with an article on such practices because it does happen, and academically it is informative and interesting no matter how unnatural and alien the concept is to me and no matter how much I may hate the very thought that people could eat such things. Or what about :Cannibalism?! Talk about a practice that is both rare and widely considered "disgusting" and "immoral"! Yet, those feelings don't stop us from documenting the fact that it exists and describing WHAT IT IS, now do they? And while I find the very idea of such a thing repugnant, I also recognize that there are those in the world who would consider NOT eating your dead relatives to be a great dishonor because of their own socially and culturally based beliefs. I guess I'm just amazed at virility of the "decency" debate and the inability of people to just get over themselves. Big deal, it's an article, and I think that it's a pretty benign description at that. If you really want to be upset about something, there are plenty of REAL low points in the world and tragedies which simply should not be happening. Genocide, Infanticide, Ethnic Cleansing, Torture, or how about something like Female Circumcision. Yet it's only the Dirty Sanchez’s of the world that people seem to object to even being mentioned on WP as if their very existence were so unacceptable as to go completely unacknowledged. I simply cannot understand or empathize that logic, and I guess I never will.  I see no reason why this, or anything else, should be "off limits" to being defined in a mature and purely academic fashion by a site such as this. That does not equal an endorsement.

 * So can't we just move on? Why were you looking up Dirty Sanchez in the first place??? Do you think it's sick and nasty? Fine, then click the x at the top of the screen and never come back to WP. Go to a censored site. Block WP on your computer. Or better yet, have a laugh and stop taking silly things so seriously. But you can’t expect this site to conform to your, or anyone else’s (including mine!), ideas of what is and is not offensive. Cultural values and moral perceptions are fluid things, after all. At one time it was considered completely unacceptable to acknowledge the existence of the female orgasm, and once you start drawing lines of what is and is not decent, you open the doors of subjectivity and capriciousness. Why is it so exercise your individual free will and close the window and remember not to come back to a site, which you obviously find so offensive to your purity? Or should we, rather, just put up a message saying “we’re sorry, but Jtpaladin has decided that this subject is offensive, gross, and inappropriate for your viewing”. Perhaps we should just leave the person wondering? Is that in the spirit of WP? Or should we phase the article “a disgusting practice that we, who know better, have decided not to inform you about”.

 * Nope. The article should stay, and be expanded as much as it needs to be to properly communicate the relevant information that would give the reader an understanding of what it is. Sick or not, enough people out there have heard of it to come to this article looking for answers. That’s the spirit of impartiality with which this site has been created. And to those who object but want to disguise their objections as unbiased by questioning the veracity of such a thing, just say what you really mean: that you don’t like these sorts of articles and that they offend you. Don’t be lame and try to attack the article by questioning whether or not the DS is an “urban legend”--that’s just a red herring. Even if it started that way, I’m sure people have tried it. The term and idea in and of itself is widespread enough to be a cultural commentary at the very least. Even if people didn’t actually do it, if a significant number of people have heard of it makes it legit (although it might mean the form and content of the article would change). World War 3 hasn’t happened yet, and may never happen, but the concept and term is prevalent enough to warrant an article. A dirty sanchez can thus exist even if no one, or very few people, actually perform it. That argument is just a means of trying to get this article off WP by those who don’t believe anyone would be disgusting enough to actually do this. That’s not the point, folks. That’s my 10 cents, and I hope that my opinion is shared, or at least appreciated. Thelastemperor 20:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Maybe you are right. But "most subtle topics"? "slightly outside the normal practices"? I am not saying it must be censored. I am asking why this amount of effort must be wasted on this. Because, its either not going to be seen, or not going to make a difference.

 * Put it this way. I wouldn't want Wikipedia to be compared with mainstream media in its coverage. Articles like this come off as being sensationalist and carrying shock-value. Is anyone crying for an article on this? Is this the one article people desire so much? Is it so bad to prioritize articles, especially something as useless as this? (not dirty, not perverted, useless)

 * If you're going to point again and again about lack of objectivity, you might consider that this great term (which I respect a lot) has never been the decisive point in any natural society across the world. It's always majority wins. Its just a corollary of freedom. Get off your high horse.

Happy fece?
Sorry for the bad pun. I'm talking about Image:Dirtysanchez.jpg, and specifically about whether it is encyclopedic. It's definately illustrative of the subject of the article without being too vulgar or offensive, and we have illustrations at other articles like mammary intercourse, albiet more elaborate ones. What does everyone think?  Big Nate 37 (T) 20:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Screeched
Any particular reason this article should not include the sentence (or a close variant)?  Big Nate 37 (T) 04:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * "This act can be seen in the 2006 sex tape Screeched as performed by Dustin Diamond of Saved by the Bell fame."

 * The Problem I have with the Screeched reference is that he claims to do a dirty Sanchez but there isen't any fecal matter involved. Is it really a dirty sanchez if you have no fecal matter mustasch? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.252.38.173 (talk • contribs) 01:41, 8 December 2006

 * Hmm, I don't think so, but is there a source to verify that it was not actually a Dirty Sanchez or that there was no fecal matter? Remember, verifiability, not truth. So far the sources I've seen are leaning towards the fact that he did the act. I'm inclined to believe you, but we need at least one good source if its going to go against two other sources. If you take another look at them and change the article to something like "sources say he performed a Dirty Sanchez..." that would be fine, but removing or refuting a sourced statement requires backup.  Big Nate 37 (T) 01:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Well I can fix a couple of screenshots of the girl's face during and after the act. To be honest it's quite hard to see to be totally sure cause of fingers are in the way. But there doesn't seem to be any fecal matter on his finger and the fact that the girl had a long dildo up her ass earlier in the movie with barely no fecal matter on the dildo tells me that she had an enema before the scene therefor the lack of fecal matter on both the dildo and screechs finger.

 * Not that I want to even accidentally see that, but we can't use a primary source anyway. The information would have to come from an article about the video.  Big Nate 37 (T) 14:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I've removed this sentence per WP:UNDUE. Why is this particular sextape being singled out?  Because it's Screech's? Switzpaw (talk) 03:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Recent edits
I recently made two edits: and thought I should clarify here. From what I understand, this act does not require application of faeces by the penis. I've only ever heard tales of this with the finger. Due to this, I've deleted the reference to the penile application but not (re)included the finger statement. I've checked in Roger's Profanisaurus (not the most authoritative of sources I'll grant you) and that suggests that it's a finger-only act. I've also changed the article to read "...of a mustache, during (or following) various types of anal sex" to reflect the above, as the anal sex article states that anal sex is not limited to penile penitration.

Any Chance of a Revitalization for this article?

Fringe claim moved here for discussion
I moved this out of the article space per WP:FRINGE. There is no other source that corroborates this fanciful explanation:

 * Author Jordan Tate claims that the term was coined during the Mexican-American War when American soldiers would often wipe fecal matter under the nose of captured Mexican soldiers as a dehumanizing tactic.

Unless there is a corroborating source, this should not be in the article, as it seems to be a folk etymology. Jokestress (talk) 04:43, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Entymology Section Dubious Tag
The source claims "Columnist Gustavo Arellano of ¡Ask a Mexican! contends the term evokes the stereotypical mustache of a Mexican" However the author cited is not an expert authority on etymology and the material used as a citation does not point to any academic sources that agree. Therefore, in my opinion, the source used is suspect in terms of academic/encyclopedic quality. 98.178.191.34 (talk) 20:21, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Erika Steinbach/Erika of Rumia

This article is not supposed to be merged with anything. It is but a translation I made for one of the discutants at Talk:Erika Steinbach. Perhaps one day it should be moved to Wikisources or Wikibooks, but merging it with Erika Steinbach has no sense at all. I could've placed it at my own sub-pages, but since it is linked in the discussion only it doesn't matter where it is placed. Halibutt 15:02, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)

Clinton Ford (singer)

Clinton Ford (born Ian George Stopford Harrison; 4 November 1931 – 21 October 2009) was an English popular singer of the 1950s and 1960s.

Biography
He was born to George Henry Harrison and Annie Simpson who, in 1911, lived in Howard Street, off Eccles New Road in Salford, Lancashire.

Initially, he worked as a laboratory assistant, but in 1957 became a Butlins Redcoat in Pwllheli, and worked there for three summer seasons. During the winter season he sang with the Jazz Band called 'Merseysippi' at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, recording several songs with them, including "Get Out and Get Under".

He began his recording career as Clinton Ford with the Oriole record label, changing his name because his own did not fit some of his American songs. He performed skiffle in the Backwoods Skiffle Group and recorded some unsuccessful singles with the Hallelujah Skiffle Group. He appeared at the Royal Albert Hall, and with Ken Dodd on Dodd's television shows. He also appeared in Stars and Garters, The Billy Cotton Band Show, and The Good Old Days.

Ford had his first success with a cover of the Red Foley song "Old Shep", which appeared on the chart in 1959. Ford donated all his royalties from this recording to the Guide Dogs for the Blind. It was the only version of the song ever to chart in the UK. His next singles were "Too Many Beautiful Girls", followed by "Fanlight Fanny" which was his most successful single, reaching 22 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1962. His album Fanlight Fanny (1962) reached number 16 in the UK Albums Chart. He toured with Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen and played at the Cavern Club in Liverpool around the time that the Beatles were starting to become popular.

His career outlasted many of his contemporaries, with his singles appearing in the UK charts over a span of more than eight years. He was also in great demand on BBC Radio programmes, such as Saturday Club, where a live singer was required to sing standards and also covers of current hit songs.

After recording for Columbia Records, in 1966 Ford changed record label to Piccadilly Records. In 1967 "Run To The Door" again made the UK chart, and other singles including "Dandy" (popularized by Herman's Hermits) backed with another Formby number "Why Don't Women Like Me", and "This Song Is Just For You" were released. In 1968 Ford made the comic album Clinton The Clown with George Chisholm and the Inmates in a single all-night session. The album included "The Old Bazaar in Cairo", which Ford co-wrote with Ken Morris and Charlie Chester, and the suggestive "My Baby's Wild About My Old Trombone".

He set up a guest house with his wife on the Isle of Man but continued to tour throughout the 1980s and 1990s. BBC Radio 2's veteran DJ, Brian Matthew, who was best man at Ford's wedding, revealed on his Sounds of the '60s show, on 10 March 2007, that Ford was living on the Isle of Man but was seriously ill, unable to work and bed-ridden.

Clinton Ford died on 21 October 2009. He is survived by his wife, Margaret (Maggie) née Worsfold, whom he married in 1962, and four children, Georgina, Susannah, Rebecca and Ian.

Ford's track "Dance With a Dolly (With a Hole in Her Stocking)" was chosen by the television producer Anne Wood as one of her Desert Island Discs in October 2011.
