Surrounding municipalities

 * Fukushima Prefecture
 * Namie
 * Ōkuma

Demographics
Per Japanese census data, the population of Futaba was relatively stable until the nuclear disaster.

Climate
Futaba has a humid climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa). The average annual temperature in Futaba is 12.4 C. The average annual rainfall is 1311 mm with September as the wettest month. The temperatures are highest on average in August, at around 24.6 C, and lowest in January, at around 1.9 C.

History
The area of present-day Futaba was part of Mutsu Province. The remains of Kofun period burial mounds have been found in the area. During the Nara period, it was the center of ancient Futaba District in Iwaki Province During the Edo period, it was part of Sōma Domain, ruled by the Sōma clan until the Meiji restoration. Town records indicate that over 700 residents of the region died due to a tsunami in the 1611 Sanriku earthquake. The area was the site of the Battle of Iwaki during the Boshin War.

On April 1, 1889, with the establishment of the modern municipalities system, the villages of Shinzan and Nagatsuka were created in Shineha District, Fukushima, which subsequently became Futaba District in April 1896. Shinzan was raised to town status on February 1, 1913. Shinzan merged with Nagatsuka on April 1, 1951 becoming the town of Shineha, which changed its name to Futaba on April 1, 1956.

2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami
Futaba was severely affected by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. Besides sustaining considerable damage from the earthquake and the tsunami (which devastated the coastal area), the entire population of the town was evacuated en masse on the morning of March 12, as it is well within the 20 km exclusion radius around the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

On March 28, 2013, the central government rezoned the town into two areas according to level of radiation: in the first, people were free to go in and out but not allowed to stay overnight; in the second, all entry was forbidden because of elevated radiation levels that were not expected to go down within five years after the accident. However, only 4 percent of the town area zone was opened to daytime return of residents, and the town remained uninhabitable.

As of 2017, the Japanese government is leading a cleanup of the town, aiming for 11 percent to be livable by spring 2022. In March 2020, the town's train station was reopened as cleanup efforts continued, and an area of habitability of around one square mile was established around the station. Services between Futaba and the neighbouring towns of Namie and Naraha commenced on March 14, 2020.

In 2022, resettlement of the town commenced when the first three residents to return on a permanent basis arrived. It is planned to increase Futaba's population to 2,000 over the course of five years.

Economy
The economy of Futaba was heavily dependent on commercial fishing and agriculture. Raising of carnations was a major industry.

Education
Futaba has two public elementary schools and one public junior high school operated by the town government, and one public high school operated by the Fukushima Prefectural Board of Education. All schools remain closed.

José Froilán González

José Froilán González (October 5, 1922 – June 15, 2013) was an Argentine racing driver, particularly notable for scoring Ferrari's first win in a Formula One World Championship race at the 1951 British Grand Prix. He made his Formula One debut for Scuderia Achille Varzi in the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix. His last Grand Prix was the 1960 Argentine Grand Prix.

González competed in 26 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix over nine seasons (1950–1957 and 1960) and numerous non-Championship events. In the 26 World Championship races, González scored two victories (the 1951 British Grand Prix and the 1954 British Grand Prix), seven second-place finishes, six third-place finishes, three pole positions, six fastest laps, and 72 $1/7$ points. He won the 1951 Coppa Acerbo, in 1954 the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Maurice Trintignant, and the Portuguese Grand Prix for Ferrari.

Physically well built, González was nicknamed The Pampas Bull (by his English fans) and El Cabezón (Fat Head, by his Argentine fans). His close friends, like Juan-Manuel Fangio and Roberto Mieres, called him Pepe.

Sixtieth anniversary tribute
On 10 July 2011, during the British Grand Prix meeting, González was honoured by the Ferrari team and the FIA on the 60th anniversary of Ferrari's first Formula One World Championship race victory. As part of the celebration, Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso drove González' Ferrari 375 F1 for four laps of the Silverstone track. Later that day, Alonso won the British Grand Prix in his Ferrari 150º Italia.

Death
He died in Buenos Aires from respiratory failure, aged 90, after a downturn in health following a heart attack earlier in 2013.

Namie, Fukushima

Namie (浪江町) is a town located in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. the town has a population of 1,238 in 794 households, although the official registered population was 17,114 in 6853 households. The total area of the town is 223.14 km2. The town was evacuated as a result of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster—being directly downwind from the power plant—and was within the exclusion zone set up in response to the disaster. Following ongoing clean-up efforts, Namie's business district and town hall have reopened, but access to more heavily contaminated western parts of the town remains restricted.

Geography
Namie is located on the Pacific Ocean coastline of central Fukushima.

Surrounding municipalities

 * Fukushima Prefecture
 * Minamisōma
 * Iitate
 * Kawamata
 * Nihonmatsu
 * Tamura
 * Ōkuma
 * Futaba
 * Katsurao

Climate
Namie has a humid climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa). The average annual temperature in Namie is 11.2 C. The average annual rainfall is 1337 mm with September as the wettest month. The temperatures are highest on average in August, at around 23.5 C, and lowest in January, at around 0.2 C.

Demographics
Per Japanese census data, the population of Namie was relatively constant over the past 40 years until the nuclear disaster.

History
The area of present-day Namie was part of Mutsu Province. The remains of Kofun period burial mounds have been found in the area. During the Nara period, it was the center of ancient Futaba District within Iwaki Province During the Edo period, it was part of Sōma Domain, which was ruled by the Sōma clan until the Meiji restoration. On April 1, 1889, the village of Namie was created within Naraha District, Fukushima with the establishment of the modern municipalities system. Naraha District became Futaba District in April 1896. Namie was raised to town status on March 1, 1900. The town expanded on May 1, 1956 by annexing the neighboring villages of Obori, Karino and Tsushima.

2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami
Namie was severely affected by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. Besides sustaining considerable damage from the earthquake, and the tsunami (which devastated the coastal area), the entire population of the town was evacuated en masse on the morning of March 12 as it is located well within the 20 km exclusion radius around the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. It was not searched for bodies until more than one month after the tsunami.

During the evacuation, many town residents took refuge at a community center in western Namie in the belief that seasonal winds would blow radiation from the plant in a different direction. However, a change in wind direction blew the plant's plume directly at them, heavily contaminating that part of the town. It was revealed months later that the national and prefectural governments had known about the direction of the plume due to forecasts by the SPEEDI computer system, but had decided not to tell evacuees in order to prevent a panic. Tamotsu Baba, Namie's mayor at the time, said the decision to withhold information from his town was akin to "murder."

On 15 April 2012, the town of Namie asked the Japanese government for free health-care for its residents. To monitor the long-term health, the city would provide to all inhabitants health handbooks in order to keep a thorough record of all health checks and thyroid examinations. These handbooks were similar to ones used to monitor the health of the survivors of the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These "hibakusha" health books were free from medical fees, and Namie asked the government to set up a similar program for the people in Namie. Of the seven other cities around the nuclear plant, Futaba town was also willing to take part in this program.

In April 2012, the government of the evacuated town of Namie bought a whole-body dosimeter. The device was installed in a temporary housing in Nihonmatsu, Fukushima, in order to monitor the internal radiation exposure and the health of the citizens of Namie. Some 50 people a day could be examined, a complete screening would take two minutes per person. Initial screenings of the whole population was planned to be finished at the end of the fiscal year 2012. In this way the town government wanted to offer a long-term monitoring program to the population. Another reason for this was the excessive exposure to radiation during the first days directly after the nuclear disaster in March 2011, when predictions from SPEEDI were ignored by the Fukushima Prefectural government.

On April 1, 2013, the nuclear evacuation zone in Namie was revised. Japanese authorities set three different zones according to different levels of radiation: in the first, people were free to go in and out, but not allowed to stay overnight; in the second, access was limited to short visits; and in the third area, all entry was forbidden because of elevated radiation levels that were not expected to go down within five years after the accident.

On October 27, 2016, a brand new shopping mall, Machi Nami Marche, was opened in the town, with the intention that it would aid the return of people to the area in the event that the evacuation orders were lifted. This construction project was completed around the same time as a similar project in the nearby town of Tomioka, also within the evacuation zone.

On April 1, 2017, restrictions were lifted on the first and second zones, allowing residents to return to those areas, although a poll indicated over half did not intend to do so. The areas are in the coastal portion of Namie, which holds the town centre. The majority of the town's hinterland remains in zone 3, with access completely prohibited due to high residual radiation. On December 22, 2017, the area was listed by the national government as one of several special zones for reconstruction and revitalisation, alongside several neighbouring towns and cities in the vicinity.

Further decontamination work began in May 2018 as part of a plan to decontaminate 660 hectares by March 2023. This is 3.7% of the area where entry is prohibited.

On October 3, 2020, it was announced that Ukedo Elementary School, one of the town's six elementary schools, was to be preserved as a museum and memorial to the events of the earthquake and tsunami. Though the building was in the direct path of the surging waters, prompt action by the school's faculty ensured that there were no casualties, with all 96 students and staff inside the school at the time of the disaster successfully escaping to higher ground.

2016 earthquake
A 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Namie in the early morning hours of November 22, 2016. A tsunami warning was issued indicating waves of up to three meters.

Economy
The economy of Namie was dependent on commercial fishing, agriculture and food processing.

On 7 March 2020, the Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R), a 10MW-class hydrogen production unit, was inaugurated in Namie. The site occupies 180,000 square meters of land, much of which is occupied by a solar array; but power from the grid is also used to conduct electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen fuel.

Education
Namie had six public elementary schools and three public junior high schools operated by the town government, and two public high schools operated by the Fukushima Prefectural Board of Education. All schools were closed after the nuclear disaster. As of 2019, six pupils were enrolled at a new elementary school.

Katsurao (葛尾村) is a village located in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. , the village had an official registered population of 1,387 in 475 households, and a population density of 16 PD/km2. The total area of the village is 84.37 km2. However, in March 2011, the entire population was evacuated as a result of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The evacuation order was lifted on June 12, 2016 for much of the village; however, the actual number of residents who returned is considerably less than the official population numbers.

Geography
Katsurao is located in the Abukuma Plateau of central Fukushima in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan, with a mean altitude of over 500 m.

Surrounding municipalities

 * Fukushima Prefecture
 * Tamura
 * Nihonmatsu
 * Namie

Demographics
Per Japanese census data, the population of Katsurao was relatively constant over the past 40 years until the nuclear disaster.

Climate

After the Meiji restoration, on April 1, 1889, the village of Katsurao was created within Futaba District, Fukushima with the establishment of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889.

2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster
Although Katsurao escaped significant damage from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, it was located downwind of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Although outside the nominal 20 km exclusion zone, as a result of wind patterns following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, the entire population of the village was evacuated by government order by May 2011. In March 2013, the government divided the village into three zones, with the majority of the village area cleared for unrestricted return of its inhabitants by spring of 2014, a smaller area cleared for daylight return only, and a larger area in which the existing restrictions against entry would be maintained until at least 2017. However, in March 2014, the government postponed lifting of the restrictions on return for a year due to remaining high levels of radiation. On June 12, 2016, the evacuation order was lifted for approximately two-thirds of the village area, with the mountainous region bordering neighbouring Namie remaining restricted due to high residual radiation.

Economy
The economy of Katsurao was formerly heavily dependent on agriculture.

Education

The Museum of Lancashire
Why did you create The Museum of Lancashire/Temp? /Temp pages are usually reserved for rewriting pages with copyright violations. --Diberri | Talk 19:24, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)

Those copyrighted pages
About those copyrighted pages ... I'm not sure if you will be reading my talk page, but I have put back the copyright violation notices and copied your content (where necessary) to the temporary subpages. I think this is the correct thing to do in this case. Things seem to be a bit muddled at the moment, but it should all work out for the best. Thanks for your new articles. --Timc 19:42, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Don't worry about it
I got your message on my talk page. Don't worry about it too much -- we all make mistakes! I really appreciate the work you did to replace the articles. You're new around here, so you can't be expected to know how everything works. Please keep contributing! --Timc 19:50, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Forest of Bowland hill
Good work on creating pages about the Bowland hills! If they are not marilyns there is still the general category of "Category:Hills", and the infobox always look good on a page in my opinion, so I'll add it to all of them. Grinner 12:33, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

..has a problem with the image. Could you please re-upload your photo (under a sensible name) and make sure the article links to the newly uploaded image? Somehow, I cannot just revert the image to your version, and with that name, overwritings are bound to happen again. Thanks, Lupo 10:13, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi, could you license these images (below)? If you're still confused about what license you want, I tend to license mine under the GFDL and CC-BY-SA licenses, the default. These mean anybody may use re-use them, but when they do they must acknowledge the photographer and make it clear to others that they may also re-use them. You could also make them public domain, but this allows people to use them without acknowledging you and without telling others that they're free to use them. I also recommend using Wikimedia Commons. Images uploaded there will automatically also be on Wikipedia, but at commons we can create galleries and categorise photos (I found your images when I was updating the English counties galleries).

Image Tagging Image:CIMG0386.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:CIMG0386.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Ely Cathedral image
Hello, I really liked the image you took of the lantern at Ely Cathedral - it looks really impressive. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of slightly improving the colour and framing of it, which also removes the hand just on the edge - hope you like the result:

I have put this picture on the main Ely Cathedral page, rather than just in the gallery, because it illustrates the lantern really well. Rob 00:12, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Your Genesis P-Orridge additions, while in detailed, are not neutral nor encylopedic. You need to adjust the article to be more like an encylopedia article instead of a supportive essay.

ArbCom elections are now open!

The registered population per village government records was 5,946 registered residents in 1807 households as of September 30, 2017. The total area the village is 230.13 km2.

Geography

Surrounding municipalities

 * Fukushima Prefecture
 * Date
 * Sōma
 * Minamisōma
 * Namie
 * Kawamata

Climate
Iitate has a humid climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa). The average annual temperature in Iitate is 10.2 °C. The average annual rainfall is 1359 mm with September as the wettest month.The temperatures are highest on average in August, at around 22.9 °C, and lowest in January, at around -1.2 °C.

Demographics
Per Japanese census data, the population of Iitate peaked in the mid-1950s and has been decline since.

History
The area of present-day Iitate was part of Mutsu Province. During the Edo period, the area was part of the holdings of Sōma Domain. After the Meiji restoration, on April 1, 1889, the villages of Iiso, Osu and Niitate were created within Sōma District, Fukushima with the establishment of the modern municipalities system. On April 1, 1942, Osu and Niitate merged to form the village of Odate, which then merged with Iiso on September 30, 1956 to form Iitate. In September 2010, Iitate was designated one of The Most Beautiful Villages in Japan.

2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster
Iitate suffered from moderate damage from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, and was located outside the nominal 30 km radiation exclusion zone of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. However, as a result of wind patterns following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, on 30 March 2011, the International Atomic Energy Agency stated that its operational criteria for evacuation were exceeded in Iitate, despite the village being outside the existing radiation exclusion zone around the plant. As a result, the entire population of the village was evacuated by government order on 22 April 2011. Some displaced children from the village were shunned after relocating for fear of contamination. In early June about 1,500 residents remained. By August, only about 120 residents, mostly elderly, remained.

In 2012, local government obtained responses from a survey from some 1,743 former residents began experiencing growing frustration and instability due to the nuclear crisis and an inability to return to the lives they were living before the disaster. Sixty percent of respondents stated that their health and the health of their families had deteriorated after evacuating.

Summarizing all responses to questions related to evacuees' current family status, one-third of all surveyed families live apart from their children, while 50.1 percent live away from other family members (including elderly parents) with whom they lived before the disaster. The survey also showed that 34.7 percent of the evacuees have suffered reductions in income of 50 percent or more since the outbreak of the nuclear disaster. A total of 36.8 percent reported a lack of sleep, while 17.9 percent reported smoking or drinking more than before they evacuated.

In March 2012, the village was divided into three zones: in the first, people were free to go in and out but not allowed to stay overnight; in the second, access was limited to short visits; and in the third area, all entry was forbidden because of elevated radiation levels that were not expected to go down within five years after the accident. All restrictions were to be lifted for a small area of northern Iitate, but the majority of the village was cleared only for the daylight return of residents. The majority of the village was to remain totally closed until at least 2016. However, in March 2014, the government postponed lifting of the restrictions on return for a year due to remaining high levels of radiation.

The evacuation order was lifted on April 1, 2017, with the exception of a small area in southern Iitate bordering on the neighbouring town of Namiie, which remains a no-entry zone. However, only a third of the former residents expressed an intention of returning.

Economy
The economy of Iitate was formerly heavily dependent on agriculture.

Education
Iitate had three public elementary schools and one public junior high school operated by the village, and one high school operated by the Fukushima Board of Education in March 2011. All schools were closed with the evacuation of the village in March 2011.

Railway

 * Iitate does not have any passenger train services.

Dragging Canoe

Dragging Canoe (ᏥᏳ ᎦᏅᏏᏂ, pronounced Tsiyu Gansini, c. 1738 – February 29, 1792) was a Cherokee red (or war) chief who led a band of Cherokee warriors who resisted colonists and United States settlers in the Upper South. During the American Revolution and afterward, Dragging Canoe's forces were sometimes joined by Upper Muskogee, Chickasaw, Shawnee, and Indians from other tribes, along with British Loyalists, and agents of France and Spain. The Cherokee American Wars lasted more than a decade after the end of the American Revolutionary War.

During that time, Dragging Canoe became the preeminent war leader among the Indians of the southeast. He served as war chief, or skiagusta, of the group known as the Chickamauga Cherokee (or "Lower Cherokee"), from 1777 until his death in 1792.

Biography
Tsiyu Gansini was born about 1738. Dragging Canoe was the son of Attakullakulla (Tsalagi, or "Little Carpenter")—a Nipissing head-man—and Nionne Ollie ("Tame Doe"). Many members of these two Native American groups then lived with the Cherokee and had adapted to Cherokee society. Attakullakulla, Dragging Canoe's father, was born to the Nipissing near Lake Superior. His mother had been born to the Natchez but was adopted as a daughter by Cherokee Chief Oconostota's wife.

Dragging Canoe's family lived with the Overhill Cherokee on the Little Tennessee River in what is now southeast Tennessee. He survived smallpox at a young age, which left his face marked. Dragging Canoe's brother, The Badger, also became a Cherokee chief.

According to Cherokee legend, he was given his name because of an incident in his childhood. When he wanted to join a war party moving against the Shawnee, his father said that he could accompany the war party as long as he could carry his canoe. The youth tried to prove his readiness for war but could only drag the heavy canoe.

War chief of the Cherokee
Dragging Canoe had his first experience in actual combat during the Anglo-Cherokee War. In its aftermath, he was recognized as one of the strongest opponents to encroachment by white colonists onto Cherokee territories. Eventually, he became the headman of Mialoquo ("Great Island Town", "Amoyeli Egwa" in the Cherokee language) on the Little Tennessee River. When the Cherokee chose to ally with the British against the colonists at the onset of the Revolutionary War, Dragging Canoe was eager to fight and was assigned to be at the head of one of the major forces of the three-pronged attack which opened the war with the frontiersmen of the Overmountain settlements, with his force attacking Heaton's station in the Battle of Island Flats. Dragging Canoe barely survived the battle.

Establishment of the Chickamauga towns
Following the colonial militias' counterattacks in late summer and fall 1776—which destroyed the Cherokee Middle, Valley, and Lower Towns in Tennessee and the Carolinas—his father and Oconostota sued for peace. Opposing his father's counsel and refusing to admit defeat, Dragging Canoe led a band of about 500 Overhill Cherokee out of the towns, and they settled further south. This occurred in early 1777. The group migrated along the Tennessee River to the area seven miles upstream from where the South Chickamauga Creek joins the Tennessee, in the vicinity of present-day Chattanooga. Thereafter, frontiersman referred to them as the "Chickamauga" because of their settlement by the creek. They established 11 towns, including one later referred to as "Old Chickamauga Town." This was across the river from the trading post of a Scotsman—who was the assistant superintendent of the British concerns in the region—John McDonald. McDonald regularly supplied the Chickamauga with guns, cannons, ammunition, and supplies to fight the American colonists.

In spring of 1779, American pioneer Evan Shelby led an expedition of frontiersmen from Virginia and North Carolina to destroy Dragging Canoe's Chickamauga towns. Shelby reported their success in a letter to Patrick Henry, saying "...[ the Chickamauga Cherokee ] are reduced to a Sense of their Duty and a Willingness to treat for peace with the united States..."

In 1782, for the second time since the wars' beginning, Cherokee towns were specifically attacked by a large United States force. The devastation caused by Colonel John Sevier's troop forced the band to move even further down the Tennessee River. Dragging Canoe established the "Five Lower Towns" below the natural obstructions of the Tennessee River Gorge. These were: Running Water Town (now Whiteside), Nickajack Town (near the cave of the same name), Long Island (on the Tennessee River), Crow Town (at the mouth of Crow Creek), and Lookout Mountain Town (at the current site of Trenton, Georgia). Following this move, this band was alternatively referred to as the "Lower Cherokee."

From his base at Running Water Town, Dragging Canoe led attacks on white settlements all over the American Southeast, especially against American colonists on the Holston, Watauga, and Nolichucky rivers in eastern Tennessee. After 1780, he also attacked settlements in the Cumberland River area, the Mero and Washington Districts, the Republic of Franklin, the Middle Tennessee areas, and raided into Kentucky and Virginia as well. His three brothers, Little Owl, the Badger, and Turtle-at-Home, often fought with his forces.

Death
Dragging Canoe died February 29, 1792, at Running Water Town, from exhaustion (or possibly a heart attack) after dancing all night celebrating the recent conclusion of an alliance with the Muskogee and the Choctaw. The Chickamauga were also celebrating a recent victory by one of their war bands against the Cumberland settlements. He was succeeded as chief by John Watts.

Legacy
Historians such as John P. Brown in Old Frontiers, and James Mooney in his early ethnographic book, Myths of the Cherokee, consider him a role model for the younger Tecumseh, who was a member of a band of Shawnee living with the Chickamauga and taking part in their wars. In Tell Them They Lie, a book written by a direct descendant of Sequoyah named Traveller [sic] Bird, both Tecumseh and Sequoyah are stated to have been among his young warriors.

NATO
It was enormously interesting to read of Tom Clancy's fictional take on NATO in the 1980's. In Patrick Robinson's latest book, NATO seems to have disappeared a few years into this new millennium. Unilateralism has become rampant, and countries are warring over access to oil - forget about a free-market in distribution. Losers in the war are understandably unhappy about the loss of oil supplies. One country head, the President of the US, says in a public broadcast that his nation is about to declare Saudi oil a global asset. Moreover, the US and its allies might rule that the Saudis can no longer be trusted to act as custodians of such a global asset.

It's a thought that deserves discussion.
 * Well, some people have hard a time accepting globalization as a fact of the new millenium, too. I haven't read Robinson's books, but coming out of the Cold War, if you were to listen to some of these authors you would think the world would be at each others' throats without two distinct sides. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shadowrun (talk • contribs) 04:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

Tank breakthroughs
"...that the mobility granted by modern armor means that the Soviet doctrine of a massed thrust achieving a breakthrough of the enemy lines is a fiction--the enemy can withdraw and reform its lines too easily to break..."

Has Clancy ever studied World War II? Germany's advances in France and the Soviet Union (before the winter set in) were because of massive armor breakthroughs. Cauldron battles ensue, and the enemy is decimated. The defenders are actually in a weak position, for they have to spread out their armor divisions, not knowing where an attack will take place. GreatGatsby 21:58, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Clancy's studied military history pretty thoroughly, I understand. I think his contention that massed breakthroughs were no longer achievable comes from 1) the fact that in the first half of WWII, only the Germans really understood blitzkrieg warfare, and 2) tanks today are far more mobile than they used to be, and far more deadly from a defensive position, especially in combination with infantry anti-tank weapons. JJ 02:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Don’t forget about the increase in battlefield intelligence either; sattalites and electronic warfare facilities can be used in real time to detect and counter-assault any forward thrust. This was one of the contributing factors to the heavy loss of Soviet naval aviation during the raid against the carriers bound for Iceland; when the pilot of Gull 2 used his radio lots of recievers detected and plotted the direction of the attack, ruining the Soviet battle plan. TomStar81 06:15, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The Russian general has a scene where he describes how the advent of infantry (with jeeps) and anti-tank missiles have changed the ability to make breakthroughs. In addition, force densities along the Inner German Border were probably a little higher than in many parts of WWII. Kd5mdk 19:55, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

 * The thing is A) the time since WW2 until the 1980's saw incredible advancements in warfare, especially massed tanks battles, so that criticism is a little off kilter; and B) Intelligence and force projection were the main strategies used to counter a Soviet thrust into West Europe. Put it best, NATO (actually the United States, if you get down to it) would not throw more lead at the Soviets, but utilize far better technology and war materiel than the Russians could ever muster. When the Cold War ended and the Soviet Union withdrew its armies and the real facts started coming out about its military, it became very apparent the Soviet Union was pretty pathetic; that NATO would more than likely overcome anything the Soviets used in a war, short of nuclear weapons. And the thing is, if you believe NATO wouldn't know where an attack would take place, then just realize it wouldn't take much more than simply absorbing a series of intelligence reports detailing where all the armor is at at that time and making the connection "where the biggest concentration of armor is at is probably where they will make the next move." Really, there wasn't too many places to move around on the Euro continent. Shadowrun 04:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The Third World War
I haven't seen mention of this anywhere, but Red Storm Rising is very similar to Sir John Hackett's "The Third World War", which was published a few years before. RSR is a more narrative and entertaining style, but the similarities are rather marked. I would not be surprised if Hackett's book inspired RSR. Kd5mdk 19:55, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * In the foreword, Clancy explains that the novel was a narrative based off a game he and a friend cooked up. He mentions how hard it was to make a confrontation between the superpowers realistic yet nonnuclear. BioTube 00:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Close Combat 5 Red Storm Rising 1.0
I added informaiton about this game to the article's main page. Here are more details: The video game went through two verions 0.9 and now 1.0. It was designed by the best modders in the Close Combat community and really hit the authenticity in settings and backgrounds. One of the places to download it is: http://www.closecombatseries.net/CCS/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=58 Screenshots can be seen here(all modern combat shots are for Red Storm Rising): http://s91.photobucket.com/albums/k315/Ryz4000/Close%20Combat/

military accurasy
The book, IMO, is not that good in military details. Soviet T-80, for example, have diesel engines (!) and manual loading (!!) , Alpha subs in reality have smaller crews, liquid-metal reactors, Soviet SAMs are suddenly falling behind US aircraft and so on, More important, Soviet military looks like Iraqi in 2003 (it wasn't that bad, for sure), both technically and personnel. It may be good book, but not accurate in this area.

 * I most certainly believe its accuracy is compromised by the author's lack of knowledge on Soviet strategic, operational and tactical practices. His depiction of the 2nd Battle of the Atlantic is a joke (Soviet naval doctrine was, first and foremost, oriented around coastal defence), whilst his assertion that nuclear weapons would not be used is simply delusional. Most Soviet general plans on a land conflict on any scale in Europe specifically pointed to over 320 nuclear detonations over troop concentrations, military air bases, naval facilities and rail hubs on the first day. turska 11:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

 * In the Tom Clancy Companion book, Clancy believes that nuclear weapons won't be used. He pointed out that during World War 2, both sides refrained from using poison gas. SCSI Commando

His lack of knowledge about the Soviet workings is obviously explained, as the only people in a position to know that (outside the USSR) were in NATO intelligence forces, and wouldn't exactly share it with him. As for the nukes, he fudged a bit there because the point of the book is to examine a non-nuclear, completely conventional war. A book where the USSR just nukes the hell out of everyone would be no fun to read. Also, as for the Iraqi comparison, please clarify. Comparing the Iraqi army in 2003 with the 1980s Soviet army is like comparing a little boy holding an old wooden sword with a knight riding around in full plate on a horse with a gleaming longsword.--TelevisedRevolution 03:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Indeed. That Iraq comparison is very silly. 1980's Red Army had T-64's and other non-export version of its tanks. T-64's/T-80's specially were more than match to any tank that Nato fielded at the time. Also the Red Army fielded a lot of AA weapons against low flying targets so i dont think the Nato helicopters or A-10's would have done much. Turska 08:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)turska

 * Well, SAM sites--their main anti-aircraft defense--can be targeted by anti-radar missiles, easily carried by helicopters and A-10's. And a battle between a T-80 and an M1A1 is debatable. The M1A1 is generally accepted as one of the best tanks out there at the time the book takes place, and firing from a defensive position, I see no reason that it couldn't match or exceed its depiction in the book.--TelevisedRevolution 04:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

 * The US tanks in the book were identified as the M1 with the 105mm cannon (not the upgraded M1A1 with the 120mm cannon). That probably balances out that fight a bit. --Occasional Reader 22:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Wow, nice comparison. Especially when it was revealed in the years immediately following the Cold War the Soviet military would have largely fallen apart at the hands of NATO, the comparisons to Saddam's Iraqi military in 2003 is very silly. Shadowrun 04:34, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I would also like to raise a huge question mark at the assertion that the Battleships used in the 91 Gulf War proved the viability of the platform. In the Gulf War the Battleships were deployed (with huge numbers of escorts for anit ship, anti mine and anti air defenses) in a limited capacity for bombardment support. In Red Storm Rising, the Battleships were allowed to steam into close visual range of a Soviet heavy gun position and got off scott free by act of plot. If anything, it proved that Battleships were good at sucking up huge amounts of resources to protect them as they were incapable of protecting themselves...and were relativly unimpressive in their abilities, which could be matched by other platforms. (C O'Farrell 3 November 2006)

 * Relatively unimpressive? It annihilated an entire artillery emplacement, what more do you want from the thing? For a 50-year-old ship, it performs well. And trying to hit a ship with land-based artillery--artillery, not a shore-based anti-naval gun--is pretty difficult.--TelevisedRevolution 04:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

 * The "Soviet heavy gun position" was a collection of 152mm (~5.9 inch) field guns. Pretty light weight to go up against a battleship with armor designed to resist ~406 (16 inch) rounds.  The initial round accuracy of the USS Iowa might be overstated in the book, but 152mm cannon would have a hard time significantly damaging a battleship; mines or torpedoes would be a much more serious threat.--Occasional Reader 22:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

First: the original M1 vs. the T80 was about an even battle. T80 had a more powerful 125mm smoothbore gun, but less armor. M1 had superior Chobham armor, but only the L7 105mm rifled. Speed was essentially the same (albeit with different technology), likewise for fuel consumption. With a matchup that similar, the advantage goes to the defender. This is a major force multiplier here, especially considering the massive US superiority in defensive weaponry: land-based ATGMs (both manportable and light crew-operated), and ground support from A-10s and Apaches. The Frogfoot was never fielded in great enough numbers to make a definitive impact in such a campaign, and the A-10 posessed a cheap, reliable low-level tank-busting capacity that I don't think the Soviets would have been able to easily counter. The Soviet doctrine of mass over manuever posesses a critical flaw, in that it relies on attrition to suppose that the US wouldn't be able to kill tanks as fast as they could be poured into an area to exploit a gap. I think in terms of survivability the Apache would, though, fall very much behind the Hind; current experience in Iraq has shown it to be surprisingly and lamentably fragile against even small-arms ground fire.

Second: While Soviet naval technology was largely tasked to coastal-defense, that doesn't mean they lacked blue water AS capacity and they certainly wouldn't have been foolish enough to ignore the importance of the GIUK gap. Their carrier technology was garbage, admitted, but the home field advantage of land-based Bear-Bs for detection and ASM-launching supersonic Backfires for ultra-long-distance strike made that almost entirely unnecessary anyway. In the book, the SLCM strike on the Backfire bases feels very much like a deus ex machina inserted to create a hypothetical dovetail in plot elements rather than a real strategic insight. In a real situation, I concur with Clancy in seriously doubting the ability of the carrier battle groups to defend themselves in the face of massive daily ASM attack with minimal ability to retailiate. With good realtime SIGINT/RADINT, large numbers of supersonic missile carriers armed with cruise ASMs, and good planning, I can definitely see both the carrier battle groups and the convoys themselves being smashed to pieces with little possible recourse for the US. Abrams don't run on water, y'know. Bullzeye (Complaint Dept./Brilliant Acts) 01:57, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Criticism?
Could we get a section on the book's criticisms?

 * The problem with any Clancy novel is his lack of objectiveness. Clancy is the type of flag-waving romantic patriot that can never see the 'good guys' beaten in the large picture. Wether the magic frisbee, or the magic darkstar, or the two uber cia agents, some magic man or missile will ALWAYS find the fuel dump, ammo dump, keys to the aircraft carrier or the soviet launching the missile at the last second. Clancy does have some great research/background information, but i certainly hope no generals use his works of fiction as tactical manuals. turska 11:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Great research? I remember an old interview of Clancy in which he admits he actually knows very little about military technology and dcotrine, and thus invented a lot of stuff (like the Soviet's underwater navigational system in October). This interview was sometime after Red Storm was published. No doubt he has caught up on his reading since, but anyone with a the slightest knowledge of Soviet and NATO doctrine and equipment cannot take Red Storm Rising as a serious military book. I'd really like to see the source where it's said that RSR is basic reading in military academies, otherwise I'd recommend a "citation needed" marking to that claim at the very least.

 * Thats why i said "some great research/background". turska

 * So you would rather read a book where the heroes lose? It's fiction, not a tactical handbook. Most of his books are meant for readers, not generals. With the exception of Red Storm Rising, which was undertaken to examine a non-nuclear conventional war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, his books are supposed to be thrillers that feature actual military technologies. If the bad guys won, it wouldn't be very fun to read.--TelevisedRevolution 00:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 * He describes a confrontation using real equipment and doctrines, so he should at least try to be realistic. As an example, in one passage of the book an aerial battle ends with more than "300 losses" for the Soviets and less than 20 losses for NATO, as if NATO airplanes were "magical" and invincible (a realistic confrontation would have heavy losses of both the sides).200.189.118.162 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:24, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

 * A point to remember is that Larry Bond did most of the technical elements in this book. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aldis90 (talk • contribs) 01:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

 * The "basic reading" reference most likely comes from a more fully fleshed out and detailed version of Operation Doolittle that was published in the Submarine Review. The way I'd always heard it was that no one had ever publically written about the idea of using cruise missiles to take out aircraft on the ground before.  So the Submarine Review publishes an article about it.  The Navy's been toying with the idea for real (around the time of Desert Storm) and uses the article as reading matter instead of going out and fashioning their own dramatized submarine cruise missile strike.  When it was published, I have no idea though.  This all could be way off, but that's what I gleamed from...somewhere.  After that, it almost makes sense that maybe they'd then just be like "here, read this whole novel" to show how such a strike fits into the big picture. Radivil 09:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Year?
It's interesting to note that although it never specifically says what year Red Storm Rising takes place, it's possible to make inferences. For example, the scene where Toland and Marine Col. Chuck Lowe watches Alexander Nevsky is May 30. The day after, a Thursday, the Kremlin bomb detonates. This means that Storm takes place in either 1984 or 1990. 1984 is more logical, but impossible, as the AP bulletin, dated January 31st, near the start of the book, makes references to the "1984 Mexico City Disaster". Thus, it can be inferred that Red Storm Rising takes place in 1990. Sandy of the CSARs 02:37, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Map is inaccurate
The map is clearly in need of a redesign. It indicates countries such as Japan, Taiwan (RoC) and the republic of (South) Korea as being "NATO NEUTRAL" while none of these countries were NATO members -- and only Japan and Korea are mentioned in the book in passing. Similarly, Australia and New Zealand are designated as NATO participants in the conflict, when neither of them are NATO members, nor were they even mentioned at all.

Also -- Soviet control in Norway should be extended further south, IIRC, as Soviet forces made it as far as Andoya and/or Bodo. A character observes that NATO forces were "trading space for time" in Bavaria, so additional Soviet control should be indicated in southern Germany. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.195.164.34 (talk) 17:06, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

~ Well, when it comes to Bodø, it's not really occupied, it's under heavy air strikes. The occupation of Andøya should be shown, I do agree to that. But Bodø is never occupied.

additional sections needed
The article needs several sections to be really complete. First, a description of critical reactions and public impact. Second, a mention of the pseudo-coauthor credited in Clancy's preface. Finally, a mention of the Harpoon game that drove the strategic decisions of the book (as referenced in Clancy's preface). Wellspring (talk) 23:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Keflavik AB "accurate?"
I've been rereading RSR, and it clearly says NAS Keflavik has a "runway 9" There is a runway 11/29 but no direct east-west runway according to the airport's article. There is also mentioned a "triangle between the runways" since there are only two--unless I've been misled in math class, the two runways cannot form a triangle--there is one formed by possibly a taxiway or access road but not a third runway. 75.62.47.83 (talk) 02:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Rank of P.L. Alekseyev
I've finished RSR the 2nd time, but just now I realized Alekseyev sometimes is described as a Four-Star-General. But the General Colonel does have actually only three stars, and it's not even an allegory, because the rank is not comparable to the US **** or German **** for example. The Army General in fact is ****, but it's mentioned in no word, that he was promoted, even not after becoming CINC-West.

So, did Tom Clancy misunderstand the rank levels? Of course, a Soviet General Major has one star, opposed to the US Major General having **. The same with General Lieutenant (**) and Lieutenant General (***). What do you think? --87.78.67.5 (talk) 23:31, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Non- Nuclear War
"and is unique for depicting the conflict as being fought exclusively with conventional weapons, rather than escalating to the use of weapons of mass destruction or nuclear warfare." Been a while since I read the book. BUT to my recollection the book / war with a Russian desire to escalate to tactical Nuclear weapons use, but unable to due to loss of middle portion of chain of Control for Nuclear Weapons Authorization.

Talk:Eel River (Wabash River tributary)

Which language?
The river lay between the Miami and Potawatomi tribes. Which language, if either, does "kenapocomoco" come from?

It is supposed to mean "river of the snake fish". In the Potawatomi language, "river" is sibe, "snake" is mnlto or mjumnito, and "fish" is gegos. In the Miami language, "stream" is siipiiwi, and "fish" is kiconessa.  I cannot find any more comprehensive online Miami-Illinois dictionaries, though there seem to be several hardcopy sources that I don't have ready access to. Both languages are in the Algonquin family, so playing amateur linguist and hazarding a guess based on phonology would be, umm, hazardous.

 * Bingo! The just-added literary reference has "kenapocomoco" from the Miami language. --Kbh3rd 22:38, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
