Bert Newton

Albert Watson Newton (23 July 1938 – 30 October 2021) was an Australian media personality. He was a Logie Hall of Fame inductee, quadruple Gold Logie award-winning entertainer, and radio, theatre, and television personality and compere. Newton was known for his collaborations opposite Graham Kennedy and subsequently Don Lane on their respective variety shows, and appearances with his wife, singer Patti Newton.

Newton started his career in radio broadcasting, primarily as an announcer, before becoming a star and fixture of Australian television since its inception in 1956, and was considered both an industry pioneer icon and one of the longest-serving television performers in the world.

Newton was known for his association with both the Nine Network and Ten Network on numerous variety shows, including In Melbourne Tonight, New Faces, Good Morning Australia, 20 to 1, and game show Bert's Family Feud.

Early life
Newton was born in Fitzroy, an inner suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, to Joseph (Joe) and Gladys Newton. He had three brothers (Tom, Jack, and Bob) and two sisters (Alice and Elizabeth). He was educated at St Joseph's Marist Brothers Roman Catholic college. In his early years, he had thoughts of entering the priesthood and remained an active Roman Catholic.

Radio
Newton's first paid radio appearance was as a schoolboy on Melbourne radio station 3XY on 10 June 1952, doing advertisements dressed as a clown with Doug McKenzie, who later became Zag in Zig and Zag. "'... there was a radio program on 3XY Melbourne called Scouting Around, compered by the late Tom Jones. One week, the broadcast was recorded at our Scout Hall, and as the direct result of this, I began to appear on 3XY.'" This led to regular appearances on a Saturday morning children's show, in which he worked with disc jockey Stan Rofe and McKenzie.

In May 1954, 3XY employed him as a junior announcer (aged 15); by 1955, he was presenting Melbourne Speaks, a vox pop program recorded on the streets of Melbourne's CBD. After GTV-9 purchased 3AK in April 1961, all GTV-9 personalities were expected to present programs on 3AK. Graham Kennedy and Newton hosted a two-hour morning program. He began a morning program on 3UZ in 1976. The Herald and Weekly Times Ltd appointed Newton as general manager of 3DB in 1986, which he combined with on-air appearances until 1988.

Early television career
Newton began his television career in 1957 at Melbourne's HSV-7, hosting The Late Show. Newton left for GTV-9 in early 1959 to host In Melbourne Today. After appearing in a live commercial on In Melbourne Tonight with his friend Graham Kennedy in 1959, he began to make regular appearances on the show and assumed hosting duties on some episodes. This began a lifelong association with Kennedy.

From 1959 to 1960, he hosted The Bert Newton Show (later retitled Hi-Fi Club) on GTV-9, a series aimed at teenagers.

From 1960 to 1961, Newton appeared in the national Graham Kennedy's Channel 9 Show (a weekly national version of IMT). In January 1962, the show was cancelled and replaced by the similar The Channel 9 Show, hosted by Newton.

1975–92
From 1975 to mid-1992 Newton mainly appeared on the Nine Network.

In 1975 Newton was cast in the role of sidekick and "barrel boy" on The Don Lane Show. He was dubbed "Moonface", and the nickname stuck. Newton frequently appeared in outlandish costumes, often sending up celebrities. Newton memorably sent-up Demis Roussos, who was sent on set while Newton was doing the impersonation. Newton remained on the show until it ended in 1983.

Newton briefly hosted his own program, The Bert Newton Show, recorded for the ABC. It was not a success, and he returned to working with Kennedy.

In 1976, Newton replaced long-running compere Frank Wilson on Nine's amateur talent program New Faces. The show was a success, and lasted until 1985. In 1992, Newton hosted another version of New Faces; however, it did not last for long.

In 1981, Newton (and wife Patti) presented a quiz show, Ford Superquiz, produced by the Reg Grundy organisation for the Nine Network.

Tonight with Bert Newton was a short-lived attempt to bring back the spirit of IMT. It aired in 1984. The Bert Newton Show was created for the Seven Network in 1989 as an attempt to woo some of the audience away from The Midday Show with Ray Martin. This, however, didn't rate well and was only on air for that year.

1992–2005
In 1992, Newton moved into daytime TV as host of The Morning Show, which was soon renamed Good Morning Australia (GMA) on Network Ten. The show revived Newton's celebrity status and was a continuing success for Ten. GMA was a mix of interviews, music, cooking segments and infomercials. It was broadcast live-to-air on Mondays and Tuesdays, but for the rest of the week live-to-tape (recorded complete and aired later). GMA was cancelled in late 2005 after a 14-year run. Although Newton was offered ongoing employment at Network Ten, he stated that he would return to the Nine Network in 2006.

2006–12
After finishing on GMA. Newton returned to the Nine Network hosting Bert's Family Feud, a revised version of Family Feud, from 2006 and until it was cancelled in May 2007.

From 2006 to 2011, Newton hosted 20 to 1 taking over from Bud Tingwell. In 2007, Newton hosted the retrospective program What a Year with comedian Julia Zemiro, replacing previous hosts Mike Munro and Megan Gale, which took a light-hearted look at significant events from a chosen year in history.

In 2008 Newton appeared as a celebrity contestant on Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune alongside Livinia Nixon and Dawn Fraser. He won the main game, with $3,235 (including a plasma TV) going to his chosen charity, the International Diabetes Institute. On 14 August 2012, Newton appeared as a celebrity contestant on Millionaire Hot Seat and won $5,000 for the charity Sids & Kids.

Newton reputedly received a yearly salary of A$800,000 from Nine during this era.

Theatre
Newton's stage appearances included Professor Marvel/the Wizard of Oz in The Wizard of Oz, Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast, Franz Liebkind in The Producers and Max in The Sound of Music.

From November 2008, Newton took over the role of The Wizard in the Melbourne production of the musical Wicked, after the sudden death of Rob Guest. The production transferred to Sydney from September 2009. Newton continued to play the role on the national tour, which began in January 2011, opposite Lucy Durack as Glinda, Jemma Rix as Elphaba, David Harris as Fiyero and Maggie Kirkpatrick as Madame Morrible. In 2011 he was part of the Australian cast performing Wicked in Singapore. Altogether, Newton had a three-year run in this show.

In July 2012 Newton joined the Melbourne cast of Annie for a few weeks, taking over the role of President Roosevelt from Alan Jones.

From August 2013 Newton returned to the stage in producer John Frost's production of Grease The Musical, playing disc jockey Vince Fontaine.

Newton played the narrator in the 2015 Australian production of The Rocky Horror Show.

Awards and nominations
Newton was an institution of the Logie Awards since the awards since 1959. He was nominated for many Logie Awards and won several:

Three 'Best Compere' awards: 1972, 1973, 1974 (for his role in In Melbourne Tonight and The Graham Kennedy Show)

Hosting
Newton hosted the Logie Awards ceremony on 19 occasions: 1968–1980, 1982, 1984, 1989, 1993 and 2010, and co-host in 2006. He holds the record for both the most Logies hosted and the most Logies hosted in a continuous run. Some notable moments of his hosting include:

 * At the 1979 Logies awards Newton said to Muhammad Ali "I like the boy", not knowing that "boy" could be taken as a racial slur. Ali responded "Did he call me Roy?" and members of the audience, including Don Lane, shouted to Newton to say "Yes—Roy!". Newton looked puzzled and later explained to the media that he did not realise that "boy" was used as a racial slur. Ali at least realised Newton's use was unintended and they literally kissed and made up later on. Immediately after the incident, Newton lightened the tension of the incident by saying: "I'll change my name, my religion ... anything", referring to Ali's change of name from Cassius Clay when he adopted Islam in 1964, and proceeding to shake his hands in feigned nervousness. "I like the boy" was a catchphrase Newton had previous used on a commercial playing Colonel Sanders.
 * In 1973, American actor Michael Cole, best known for his role in the TV series The Mod Squad, accepted an award while obviously drunk and ended his barely coherent thank-you speech with the word "shit", to which Newton, after a classic pause, merely added 'congratulations'.
 * In 2006, after the awards, he had a fall and injured himself. The injury was visible for a number of Bert's Family Feud episodes.

Honours
Newton was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1979, for his service to the performing arts.

On 12 June 2006, he was made a Member of the Order of Australia "for service to the entertainment industry as a presenter, actor, comedian, and through support for a range of medical research and charitable organisations".

Newton was the first Melbourne-born King of Moomba in 1978.

A song called "For Bert" was written by GTV-9's musical director Brian Rangott. The lyrics include:
 * Everything I do,
 * I do for Bert –
 * [...]
 * Some may think Bert's not much,
 * But they like his gentle touch –
 * Everything I do,
 * I do for Bert!

In 1997 Newton was the subject of a This Is Your Life tribute. His wife Patti was honoured with her own tribute in 2001.

The Best of Bert Newton was aired in 2002. Channel Nine Salutes Bert Newton was broadcast in early 2004, depicting the career of Newton from his earliest days.

In 2001 he was awarded the Centenary Medal.

Show business awards include a Mo Award (1995), two Television Society of Australia awards (1981 and 1983), three Penguin Citations and three Pater (Professional Excellence in Television and Radio Arts and Sciences) awards for radio.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of television in Australia, Channel 9 ran a show titled 50 Years, 50 Stars, where they looked back at the top 50 stars of Australian television. Newton was listed as the No. 1 Australian TV star of the past 50 years.

On 1 July 2008, Newton was named Victorian of the Year.

On 23 July 2008, Channel 9 marked Newton's 70th birthday with a one-hour special of This Is Your Life hosted by Mike Munro. In 2018, he was honoured by Australia Post in a series of issued stamps called the Australian Legends series that features stars from Australian television.

Two weeks after his death, on 12 November 2021, Newton was given a Victorian state funeral, conducted at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne.

Personal life
In 1974, Newton married Patti McGrath with whom he worked on television. The Newtons had two children, son Matthew and daughter Lauren. Matthew Newton is an actor who has appeared in a number of Australian films and television dramas. Lauren Newton married swimmer Matt Welsh.

In 1993, a gambling problem led Newton to near bankruptcy and a $1 million debt.

In 2020, Newton was the subject of an episode of Who Do You Think You Are? which focused primarily on his father and maternal grandparents. The episode first aired on 26 May 2020.

Health and death
In November 2012, Newton underwent quadruple heart bypass surgery, having been admitted to hospital twice in the twelve months prior.

Newton was admitted to Epworth Hospital several times for pneumonia recovery in March and April 2017.

Newton had a toe infection in late 2020 and, due to complications treating this, one of his legs was amputated below the knee in May 2021. He died in Prahran, Victoria, on 30 October 2021, aged 83. He is interred at the Cedars section of the Springvale Botanical Cemetery, Melbourne.

Image and category removed
Acting as a developer I've removed both the image and category from the GFDL template until MediaWiki 1.4 is in service on this wiki. Their presence caused a denial of service attack warning and mass query kill on the main database server for the sites at a low traffic time. Mediawiki 1.4 has some changes which should make it possible to add them back without DOSing the sites. Jamesday 11:38, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Tranfer of images to Commons
Many images are lying here not accessible to any other of the Wikimedia projects. Commons has now existed for nine months and it's about time we eliminate practically all free images on Wikipedia by transferring them to Commons. It is a fairly easy task: save the image locally, open up page Commons upload page, select file and paste text from Wikipedia description, then create a section ==Wikipedia image history== and copy the image history for correct attribution. It is important that the name is not changed, unless you wish to edit all pages on which this image is located to reflect the change. At this point the local image should be deleted by tagging it as such or doing yourself (if you have the power). This category currently contains, quite literally, thousands of images which I cannot handle by myself. If anyone wants to help, feel free - I'll set up a proper "WikiProject" page soon and properly advertise it. In the future we should consider creating transfer scripts which fulfil this function with only human monitoring. --Oldak Quill 10:01, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Shiretoko National Park

Shiretoko National Park (知床国立公園) covers most of the Shiretoko Peninsula at the northeastern tip of the island of Hokkaidō, Japan. The word "Shiretoko" is derived from an Ainu word "sir etok", meaning "the place where the earth protrudes".

One of the most remote regions in Japan, much of the peninsula is only accessible on foot or by boat. Shiretoko is best known as the home of Japan's largest population of brown bears, and for offering views of Kunashiri Island, ownership of which Japan and Russia dispute. Shiretoko is also the home of many birds, such as Steller's sea eagle and white-tailed eagle, and marine animals such as spotted seal, orca whale, and sperm whale. The park has a hot springs waterfall called Kamuiwakka Falls (カムイワッカの滝). Kamui wakka means "water of the gods" in Ainu.

The forests of the park are temperate and subalpine mixed forests; the main tree species include Sakhalin fir (Abies sachalinensis), Erman's birch (Betula ermanii) and Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica). Beyond the forest limit there are impenetrable Siberian dwarf pine (Pinus pumila) thickets.

In 2005, UNESCO designated the area a World Heritage Site, advising to develop the property jointly with the Kuril Islands of Russia as a transboundary "World Heritage Peace Park". Shiretoko's listing as Natural Heritage was seen by the Indigenous Ainu as contradicting the long history of Ainu settlement in the park area.

The Shiretoko Park Nature Center is in Shari. It serves as the visitor center and includes a movie about the park, a restaurant, and a gift shop.

Pictures
Hello,

I found a picture of the composer Aaron Copland from the Library of Congress website (government). It was uploaded and I said the source was from the government being the Library of Congress.

It was deleted for some reason however stating that there was no copyright status on the picture.

How do I upload pictures then?

Thanks.

Private Information
I received a message from you asking me not to release Private Information about a member that they have not chosen to share on Wikipedia. I am wondering whether that information applies when someone is an editor of a magazine and uses their Wikipedia identity to delete information about a rival publication under the cloak of anonymity?

He has admitted his identity fully on another website when this information came to light and therefore, the revelation of his identity was relevant to the discussion as it showed that edits were being carried out because of personal agenda and bias. Thank you for your time, CrimeBuff.

Image Tagging for Image:Spore_print_sheet_png.png
Hi Martyman.

Yes, my mistake - I created the png from an earlier jpg image - the jpg was in the 'images for cleanup' category. I seem to remember the jpg original was uploaded by User:Rafti Institute and added to the article [] by them - a number of their images had 'ifc' tags and I edited several of them back then. I can't think why I didn't add the name of the original uploader to the page, unless it was because I was having trouble with a slow Wiki and then forgot to come back!

BTW, the file it was based-on was Image:Spore print sheet.jpg but it appears to have been deleted.

Regards, Ian Dunster 11:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, I can make the image smaller and degrade it slightly, so that it would be usable under 'fairusein' but I'm not sure that that would be of much use without having a proper source for the original image. Ian Dunster 13:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Climatic Map of Australia
Hi, I just noticed your map of Australia's climatic zone - looks good. There seem to be a couple of minor short comings however.

This map http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/climate/cgi_bin_scripts/clim_classification.cgi illustrates that the area in far northern N.T. experiences an equatorial climate and that the area in south west Wa has a temperate climate.

Hey Martyman, I used your locator map and edited it to mark Amity Point. I hope you are okay with this and if not, could you please make a map showing its location.

canberra images you have taken
Hi There Martyman,

I was searching over google and have come across from brilliant photography of yours, such as mount ainslie, and the great panorama of lake burley griffin.

I am organising a vehicle car show for 2007 known as "Shannons Wheels Expo", and i was interested in using one of your photographs for some flyers i was making up to help advertise the car show.

It is 100% non profit, and supports local charitys, if you would like more information, visit http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/go/shannons-wheels-expo

Let me know if this is okay, my email address is Chris.Faulkner@streetrides.org.au

Diagrams/maps
Hi there Martyman, I noticed you have created a lot of maps/diagrams for wikipedia. Can I ask why you have chosen to use the PNG format instead of SVG? I'd like to help out with some maps as this is something that Wikipedia is patchy with at the moment. Also, what do you use as a basis for your maps? Do you trace existing maps? How do you do it? Just wondering.. :) Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 15:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Maps
Hey!

I really like your maps of Australia, but could you produce some maps of the individual states at a reasonable size? We need each image to be 230px wide for use as a locator map. I assume you still have the original illustrator files. If you want, it may be easier, you could give me the files, and I can then build the state images.

Thanks anyway, TheJosh 07:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

licensing of a derivative work of one of your maps
Hi Martyman, I've used your Tasmania locator map in this image. As the locator map is now pretty small and the other part of the map is public domain, I'm wondering if you would agree to drop the GFDL license on the derivative work?

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Charles Conder Primary School, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Charles Conder Primary School fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason: Not all school are notable... To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Charles Conder Primary School, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Charles Conder Primary School itself.

Got an original version of an image?
Hi, I noticed that you were the author of an image,, using Adobe Illustrator. Is there a chance that you could either upload an SVG version or email me a vector (.ai preferably) copy to convert to SVG? That (SVG) format would be much more useful, especially given the current construction of Portal:Australia portals. Thanks, Nihiltres { t .l } 04:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Canberra Population Timeline - Converting to SVG
Hello Martyman;

I am currently working on rebuilding your [[media:Canberra timeline-MJC.png|Canberra Population Timeline graph]] in SVG. From the Australia Bureau of Statistics, I got data for the past decade. However, I have not found statistics before 1991. If possible, I kindly ask for a listing of the data used in your graph. Alternatively, I would be happy to recollect the data myself, if you could point me toward your sources.

have a nice day, Ordoon (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 20:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Martyman, I am currently working on the article Channel Deepening Project. I was wondering if you could create an animated gif for me similar to this one (that you created) to display the dredging areas in Port Phillip.

This would probably be the main source:.

I've used one of your maps but...
Hi. I was looking for a template to use as the basis for a location map for the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline. Found one of yours (Perth locator-MJC.png) and made some modifications. The end result is Image:DBNGP.png. Please forgive me if I've contravened your rights re: your original work. Can you have a quick look at how I've treated the licensing issues. I'm pretty sure I've botched the license attributes by not properly acknowledging your original work or whatever. E.g. even though I've mentioned you in the description field, I seem to be claiming my new map as an original work. Please set me straight if I've gone down the wrong track entirely. Apologies in advance etc...my humble excuse is -I'm only new at this! --Glen Dillon (talk) 14:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

File:Telopia park school-NLA01.jpg needs authorship information
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Telopia park school-NLA01.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template.

 * If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:06, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, This image was seemingly uploaded prior to current image polices, Thank you.

However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm, that it was your own work, by marking it as own, amending the information added by a third party, and by changing the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add  to the Media by uploader or Presumed self tag(s) if  present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the information where appropriate).

IF you have other uploads, please consider "claiming" them in a similar manner, You can find a list of files you have created [ here].

James Boag I

James Boag I (c. 4 February 1822 – 9 November 1890 ) was the founder and proprietor of J. Boag & Sons, owner of the Boag's Brewery in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

Boag was born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland in 1822. He emigrated to Australia with his wife and four children in May 1853, on the ship Sea, and arrived in Tasmania in July of the same year aboard the Clarence after three months in the Victorian gold fields. Upon arriving in Tasmania he was engaged by at the Cataract Brewery where he remained manager for 27 years. Once settled in Launceston, Tasmania he had 6 more children, including James Boag II.

He formed a partnership with his son James Boag II to run Esk Brewery in February 1882. They began supplying beer to the public later that year, in December. The brewery later became what is now known as Boag's Brewery.

Boag died aged 69 in Melbourne on 9 November 1890. His remains were transported to Launceston for the funeral service, which was held at St Andrew's Church.

James Boag II

James Boag II (1854–1919) was the son of James Boag I, and co-proprietor of J. Boag & Sons, owner of the Boag's Brewery in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

Educated in Launceston, James Boag II was an energetic entrepreneur. A keen sportsman throughout his youth, Boag generously supported sporting clubs all his life. In November 1880 he married Elizabeth Edwards at the Trinity Church in Launceston. Boag performed his military service in Launceston and qualified for the Long Service Medal in 1910. During the 1901 Federation celebrations, The Examiner reported that at midnight, "twenty-one guns boomed out the royal salute from the Launceston Artillery under Captain J. Boag".

James Boag II became manager of J. Boag & Son in 1887 and later became the sole proprietor after the partnership with his father was dissolved in February 1888 and after the death of his father in 1890.

In 1919, James II died and was succeeded by James III.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Custodial Rape (non-sexual)

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was - deleted

Custodial Rape (non-sexual)
Custodial rape is a form of rape, and a serious human-rights problem. "Custodial Rape (non-sexual)", however, is one man's neologism for a parent being deprived of custody or visitation rights. Googling for this neologism gets exactly one hit. -- Antaeus Feldspar 06:03, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep Was entered as case law in WA state Aug. 16, 2004 and won. .  Allowed for visitation with argument.  Will be good for other fathers to digest and reflect. Note: The origin of rape was not sexual. Before it was considered a sexual act it was "An act or instance of robbing or despoinling or carrying away a person by force," Merriam Webster's Dictonary 10th edition. If you edit or remove this page I will just make it again. I donated the other day so let me have my space. Paul--mrindianajones 06:16, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
 * A link for this case would help your case here. Insisting you will just make it again isn't helping, however...
 * Delete. Neologism. While it's great that you donated, this doesn't give you the right to create whatever you want. Furthermore, threats are bad. If this the community consensus is to delete this, and you continue to recreate it, you'll likely end up being blocked from editing. Ambi 06:23, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete Neologism would be a kind word to use for it - it's unclear it's even reached the status of neologism. Being referred to in arguments in one case does not make it notable - almost anything can be entered into as an argument in a court case. Jongarrettuk 06:52, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with Ambi -- thanks for donating, but space here isn't for sale or even for rent.  This article addresses serious issues but does so under a heading that's not generally used for the point, so it's confusing and no one will ever read it here.  The serious issues are: (1) a custodial parent violating court orders, and (2) a custodial parent deliberately poisoning the children's minds against the other parent.  These points merit discussion on Wikipedia.  I would merge some of the language from this article into child custody but first I'd like to see whether anyone can suggest a better place for it.  Abductions by custodial parents are a significant enough problem that I would've thought we had something addressing it already. JamesMLane 06:59, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, or at least move to a different title and reword. "Rape" may originally have had a different meaning from how its used today, but this is a contemporary encyclopedia if ever there was one. Such a loaded word taken in such a different context is just going for an emotional response through unecessary hyperbole. There already is an article on custodial rape, and a "non-sexual" rape to modern readers sounds non-sensical. Until this becomes a recognized term (which I can't see ever happening) its best addressed as custodial kidnapping or some such more reasonable word. -R. fiend 07:11, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Utter crap.  Lexis shows no hits in the court opinions of Washington, btw, for  (which doesn't even look like a proper docket #), or "custodial rape".  Postdlf 07:51, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * - Well then you don't know what your looking for. I have the papers right in front of me.
 * Lexis doesn't get every written decision of every court, so it could well be that you're both right. Anyway, mention in one decision wouldn't change the point that the term is not generally in use and that virtually no one would think to look for a discussion of this subject under this title. JamesMLane 08:10, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Like hysterectomy when it doesn't involve the uterus... Frantic hype. Worthless. Wetman 07:53, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's use in one case doesn't make it a widespread term. Wikipedia is here to reflect on notability, not to create it. Average Earthman 08:27, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not just a neologism, but one that was explicitly created as a propaganda device, and an annoying attempt to use Wikipedia to spread it. However the question is simply, does the term now have sufficient usage to justify an article (or more likely, a redirect to child custody or similar)? My conclusion is, no it doesn't. Andrewa 09:41, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Somewhat misleading figurative use of such an emotionally freighted word for promotion of a POV is unacceptable. Fire Star 12:55, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete for now, neologism. Reinstate the article if and when the term comes into common use in the legal profession. (Or if you can point to *several* cases that use the term in this sense, that's good too) Kim Bruning 13:27, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Rename and edit into NPOV, if we don't already have an article on the problem. It's a real problem and deserves a page, but this title is unnacceptable (for reasons given above). Noel 13:54, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism, POV.   — Gwalla | Talk 18:51, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Neologism. Delete.  But there should be an article on Custodial interference.  RickK 19:57, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
 * Why not include the info under child custody? It looked like a pretty short article so far.  Postdlf 21:31, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete as NPOV progaganda neologism. Joyous 23:26, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as spam, surely - David Gerard 11:46, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Do you even know what spam is? It's not spam, I have been using and editing here since early 2002.  The article has been discussed accross the internet on father and divorce recovery groups on yahoo and msn.  They feel it is a very appropriate deffinition.  It any of you have ever gone though what this man has with his children you would surely have been on board.  It is very appropriate.  For a link look at Divorce Care and Support on msn groups and see the discussion on it.  All in agreement as well requested to have it added to the groups links.  over 2000 people in the group --68.66.238.191 17:49, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * It's the same text being posted over and over under different article names. It's somewhat pink and reconstituted. Why, yes, I do know what spam is. (I also have thoughts on sock puppets.) - David Gerard 17:55, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Interesting. If you are not 'this man' himself, then why didn't you correct Slowking Man when he said you were one and the same?  As for whether it has been "discussed across the Internet", while that wouldn't automatically qualify it for Wikipedia status, let's take a quick Google search:
 * search for "custodial rape (non-sexual)". Gets exactly one hit.  Guess which one.
 * search for "non-sexual custodial rape". Gets no hits.
 * search for "NSCR", on pages where it occurs with the words "custodial" and "rape". Four hits, but in all of them, NCSR refers to the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement.
 * search for "Custodial Rape NS".
 * I never had tried say I was not that man. So I am not sure what you mean by correcting slowkingman.  The case just ended so I suppose it would not be listed much anywhere as if it has been added to others references google may not have indexed them yet.  We won being able to argue the case this way though the other side was rejecting the verbage.  Nonetheless those that are in the same boat approve of the verbage and it's use as such.  As far as the other NS or NSCR  earlier a couple users above suggested I posted it under another name, so I tried several but the same thing happened to them.  So how else do you suggest I revise it.  I did exactly as they asked. And the same notice appeard on those pages.  So I tried changing the name to suit as asked.  I think one finally kept.  How about Non-Custodial Parental Rape or any other ideas.  Regardless rape of the non-custodial parents rights to the children in the circls I am in is very acceptable because of how strong and emotionally charged it is.  It fits very well with the websters dictionary as well.  And compared to some of the other items I have seen on Wikipedia, I don't see why it would be out of place.  You let alot more get away with alot less.  Is it because it's too political for you? Moral?  Or do you just object to somthing you don't understand or really care about.  When the rest of the system catches up to the shame and seriousness of the situation as this word will place on it, then it might not be so nice for people to run off with children for no other reason than discontentment.  So I will try submitting it under other names, nonetheless the verbage and use is still the same no matter what you want to call it and the seriousness of the case's just as relevant.  To water it down is to not call the problem however by it's true name.  It's a rape.  And it does just as much damage and hurt to a non-custodial parent to be raped of their children as it does a person to be raped by the more accepted criminal law definition.  Again however, the origin of the words fits very respectably.--68.66.238.191 02:02, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * No, do not "try submitting it under other names". They will all be listed here and quite obviously they will all be deleted.  So, what should you do?  It's clear if you read the comments here.  Drop the idea of using the term "rape" for this situation.  Whether you think the term is justified is immaterial.  This is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox.  We describe the way things are.  The way things are is that almost no one uses "rape" to describe parents absconding with their children or telling them that the other parent is horrible.  Therefore, we're not going to endorse your POV here.  I and others have suggested that a suitably neutral description of the problem could find a home at child custody; others have suggested a new article with a more commonly recognized title.  Pick one of those sensible alternatives and stop wasting your time trying to post an editorial disguised as an article. JamesMLane 02:13, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * The author even says on his user page that this is "what I consider Custodial Rape (non-sexual)" (emphasis mine). His own personal considerations do not warrant a encyclopedia article any more than an article on what I might consider the 2004 Beer Hall Putsch. Ånd while this in itself may not qualify as spam, 3 or 4 other identical articles certainly could be considered so by some.-R. fiend 19:44, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Susvolans 15:54, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete neologism; welcome article on Marshall vs. Worsdale if it can be demostrated to be in any sense a much-referred-to case. -- Jmabel 01:13, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: Another similar article at Child Custody Rape. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 02:31, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the catch, I'm listing it for deletion. I started out being tolerant of this guy but I'm rapidly coming to agree with the people who've called for a ban. JamesMLane 02:41, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete Jayjg 02:44, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * You told me to list it under another name so I did, so I don't understand what the problem is.--68.66.238.191 02:55, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Please read the comments. The main problem is that everyone thinks it's inappropriate to have an article on this subject with any title that uses the term "rape" (or any derivative, like "NSCR"). JamesMLane 02:59, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * well you must have writen that comment why I was changing the name, because it was not there when I tried creating the new name again.--68.66.238.191 03:07, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * very well then suggest a name without the word rape in it. the rest of the diffinition besides that one word should be the same because that is how we defined it  when we used it and how the world of father's rights sees it, though maybe not so verbos, none the less we needed a websters form of the word that was sent to copyright.  Then just include the origin source to my page and then my own view of calling it rape will be respected there.--68.66.238.191 03:13, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Several other terms have been suggested but you have steadfastly refused to use a word other than rape. And continuing to write these redundant and POV articles may cause you to be "raped" from wikipedia (non-sexually of course). As for your feigning "I don't see what the problem is, I changed the name", don't play dumb and pretend you don't know what word we take objection to. I suppose we'll see Custodial Anal Fisting Rape next and we'll be expected to OK it because its a different name, and you can scratch your head and wonder why we didn't. Try using "abduction" if you want a serious, non-archaic word that actually applies to the situation. -R. fiend 03:31, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, he can't use "abduction", unless it's something like "court-ordered abduction" or something like that. He just doesn't get that, regardless of whether it is "politically correct" or "politically incorrect" to compare his feelings on not getting custody of his kids to rape (in the sense that an English-speaker of this century understands it) -- it is not encyclopedic knowledge!  "Will be good for other fathers to digest and reflect."  Well, great!  Let them read it on your own webpage, digest it and reflect it!  But it's not encyclopedic knowledge!  Even if it got a handful of Google hits -- one page's worth, rather than one hit -- that wouldn't indicate that it was widely used enough yet to be encyclopedic knowledge.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:05, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Sir this is serious to me, not a joke as you have made it. I don't see any other name suggested.  I don't play dumb, the debate was because of how close it was to the Custodial Prison Rape as far as I was concerened and the political correctness of using it as I have.  And further more the abreviations I used did not have the word rape in them, I believed that was part of the major issue as well.
 * I've merged the NPOV portion into child custody (diff here). I even included an external link to your site, which was a borderline call (and one that I'm sure some people here would dispute).  If you stop creating these articles, stop trying to use Wikipedia to apply the word "rape" to the situation, and generally stop trying to editorialize here for your POV, there's some chance that the external link will survive.  (In response to R. fiend, I don't think "abduction" works because it doesn't pick up the less drastic but more widespread problem of alienation of children's affections.  At some point, a genuinely NPOV article could be created about parental abduction, but for now I think the merge is better.) JamesMLane 03:42, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete all versions. Possibly redir some variations if someone thinks it's necessary and might actually be searched for. Ban or block after warning if process/policy continues to be violated. Niteowlneils 03:49, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, along with all other incarnations. • Benc • 08:17, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Moved from WP:RFD

 * Custodial Rape (non-sexual) -> Custodial rape. Custodial rape is a form of rape that is perpetrated or encouraged by a state power that is keeping the victim in custody.  This can be confirmed by doing a quick Google search, which shows it to be a serious human rights problem around the world.  Unfortunately, Wikipedia's article on it was written by a non-custodial father who wished to publicize his own private (re-)definition of it, as a metaphor for not being allowed contact with his kids; he created the original article of Custodial rape to publicize this definition, and, as he admits at his webpage, coined the legal-sounding phrase "Custodial rape (non-sexual)".  The main article has been rewritten to address the actual phenomenon of custodial rape; the redirect should be deleted, since it is his own private neologism. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:22, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * What a ridiculous mess. Sure enough, Custodial Rape (non-sexual) no longer belongs on this page -- because after the Custodial rape article it re-directed to got revised, the author of the material went back to the redirect, which was where he had written the article originally, and turned it back into the original article.  sigh.  Needless to say, if you still have any opinions about the material, the page Votes for deletion/Custodial Rape (non-sexual) is there.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 07:33, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Le Bourget

Le Bourget is a commune in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 10.6 km from the center of Paris.

The commune features Le Bourget Airport, which in turn hosts the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace (Air and Space Museum). A very small part of Le Bourget Airport lies on the territory of the commune of Le Bourget, which nonetheless gave its name to the airport. Most of the airport lies on the territory of the communes of Dugny, Bonneuil-en-France, and Gonesse. The Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile is also headquartered on the airport grounds and in Le Bourget proper.

Typology
Le Bourget is an urban commune, as it is one of the dense or intermediate density communes, as defined by the Insee communal density grid. It belongs to the urban unit of Paris, an inter-departmental conurbation comprising 411 communes and 10,785,092 inhabitants in 2017, of which it is a suburban commune.

The commune is also part of the functional area of Paris where it is located in the main population and employment centre of the functional area. This area comprises 1,929 communes.

Rail
Le Bourget is served by Le Bourget rail station on Paris RER line B. There is also an extensive freight rail yard with international traffic to Belgium, among others. Progressively, Le Bourget is planned to one of the principal transportation hub in the Paris North suburb : The Tangentielle Nord is an express tramway planned to enter in service in 2014, and two train stations are planned in the long term as part of the Grand Paris Express project with the future lines 16 and 17.

Highways
The town is served by two major Highways (Autoroutes), A1 autoroute in the north of the town, and A86 autoroute in the south of the city. Those two highways ensure a direct connection to major Paris Region hubs like La Defense (A86 West), Bobigny (A86 East), Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport (A1 North), Paris (A1 South).

Air
Paris–Le Bourget Airport is the first business flights airport in Europe. It connects with 800 destinations in Europe. On May 8, 1927, the White Bird (l'Oiseau blanc) took off from Le Bourget and its pilots, Charles Nungesser and François Coli, hoped to reach New York City without stopovers. The plane disappeared without a trace. It was finally Charles Lindbergh who made the first air crossing of the North Atlantic between New York and Paris on May 21, 1927. He was welcomed as the "victor" of the North Atlantic, posing on his Spirit of St. Louis. An enormous crowd also welcomed Edouard Daladier on September 29, 1938, after the signing of the Munich Agreement signed between Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy represented respectively by Adolf Hitler, Edouard Daladier, Neville Chamberlain and Benito Mussolini (who had acted as intermediary).

Culture
The world-renowned Gagosian Gallery is located in Le Bourget airport area.

Government and infrastructure
Le Bourget houses the Crèche intercommunale Maryse Bastié, an intercommunal daycare.

Schools
École maternelle Saint-Exupéry is the sole maternelle public nursery school in Le Bourget, while École primaire Louis Blériot is the sole élémentaire- only public school in Le Bourget. Two municipal schools, Groupe scolaire Jean Jaurès and Groupe scolaire Jean Mermoz, serve both the maternelle and élémentaire levels. Collège Didier Daurat is the sole municipal collège (junior high school). There is one public high school, Lycée Germaine Tillion (dubbed Lycée du Bourget). Institution Privée Sainte-Marie, serving the maternelle, élémentaire and collège levels, is the sole private school in Le Bourget.

Libraries
The 350 sqm Le Bourget Public Library has 45,000 books and almost 100 magazines. It is located within the Urban Community of Le Bourget Airport (Communauté d'Agglomération de l'Aéroport du Bourget).

The Le Point d'Interrogation media library, located in Le Bourget, a stone's throw from the Place du Marché and the Town Hall, was inaugurated in 2013 and welcomes the general public to 750 square meters on one level. It is aimed at all public and offers nearly 30,000 documents, including books, CDs, DVDs and magazine in a wide variety of genres. The library was named after the aircraft Le Point d'Interrogation (the Question Mark), piloted by French aviators Dieudonné Costes and Maurice Bellonte who performed the first westbound crossing of the North Atlantic, from Paris to New York City.

Hi. I noticed your User Name is very similar to about 13 others I've seen. Given that you're a student, and most of the similar User Names are editting articles about similar topics, I am guessing you're all working on some sort of class project? Do you know how many people are in the project, and whether they are all editting with registered User Names? The articles are really interesting, and really improve Wikipedia's coverage of Chinese journalists (at least that seems to be the common theme of the articles). Thus, I'm assuming the 'j' in "BJ" on your user page stands for journalism, but am not sure on the 'b', unless it's to indicate a bachelor's degree program. On School and university projects I found class projects for UHK "FOSS0001: Media in Contemporary China", and "YJMS0001: You've Got Mail", but the assignment lists on the main page and at User:YJMS0001/assignments don't seem to include any of the articles I've seen from the 0101___ users. (If you're curious, Dai Qing was the first one I ran into--I mostly decided to leave a note at your Talk page because you were the only one that had put anything on their User page.) Anyway, I'd like to second Meelar's welcome. Feel free to respond on my Talk page. Niteowlneils 02:44, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * PS I did finally find your assignment, which answered some of my questions. Niteowlneils 03:55, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Ukrainian subdivisions/Infobox

What else belongs in the infobox?

 * Coat of arms.
 * Head of government ("premier?")
 * Telephone area code(s)
 * Postal codes
 * Etymology of names (also at List of etymologies of country subdivision names)
 * Alternate or historical names (e.g. Poltavs'ka oblast'/Poltava, L'vivs'ka oblast'/Halychyna)

Old version
This is what the infoboxes looked like before we got started.

Proposal
I wikified the code, simplified the formatting, and added User:Steschke's new location map. Also updated the stats for 2004. How does this look?

Does anyone have a better understanding of the minor administrative units?
 * What is an "urban-type locality"? Is it a town? = de:Siedlung städtischen Typs
 * What does "total" include? It's obviously more than the raions, cities, city districts, "urban-type localities", and villages put together.
 * We discuss this at Elya's page for the german version --Steschke 10:19, 2004 Nov 3 (UTC)

The current proposal has been implemented. See below, or on the oblast' pages.

Compiled infobox stats
List of all the raw stats is archived at /Infobox stats

The area, demographics, and settlements for 2004 come from ukrstat.gov.ua. Still needed:
 * location image ALT text
 * date established
 * [what else?]

Data fields

 * Ukrainian name
 * location image ALT text -- describes in words where the oblast' is located
 * capital
 * date established
 * population
 * total
 * urban
 * rural
 * % urban
 * density
 * area
 * sub-subdivisions
 * raions
 * cities
 * cities, including with national, republican and oblast status
 * city districts
 * urban-type localities
 * villages

Infoboxes
I've added the infoboxes to all the articles. The examples on this page are already out-of-date, since I corrected a few typos when I added them, and removed empty data lines from the box for misto Kyiv. —Michael Z. 01:38, 2004 Nov 2 (UTC)

 * Update:  the infoboxes on this page are now up-to-date. —Michael Z. 01:06, 2004 Nov 3 (UTC)

STOP! I just realized I screwed up when I transcribed the data for the infoboxes. In my converted copy of the original MS Word file, I thought a separate data column was just a note. I'll fix this in the next few hours, and compile the updated data here. —Michael Z. 00:24, 2004 Nov 3 (UTC)

 * Go! I've corrected the data.  In the list of localities, the third figure has been removed (it represented "Cities, including with national, republican and oblast status", and not "city districts"), and the totals line has been removed.  All the headings now apply to the correct figures.  Sorry for the confusion.

 * The oblast articles in Wikipedia haven't been updated yet; I'll do that later tonight. —Michael Z. 01:04, 2004 Nov 3 (UTC)  Update: It's all fixed now.

 * Here are more up-to-date data for the population (04-05-01) --Steschke 11:12, 2004 Nov 4 (UTC)

Tristar and Red Sector Incorporated

Tristar and Red Sector Incorporated (TRSI) is a demogroup which formed in 1990. It came about from the longest-running cooperation in scene history. RSI existed from 1985, before being joined by the "T" later on. Evolving from the Commodore 64 to the Amiga and later to PC and various game console platforms - like the PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo - and set-ups like Arduino, Android or Blu-ray, TRSI released a number of digital productions, dedicated to experimenting in phreaking or network alteration. Its members were spread around the world and still contribute to computer scene art and code after more than 27 years of history.

1985 to 1987
Red Sector Incorporated (RSI) was founded with a focus on the Commodore 64 as a group for cracks, fixes, trainers, packs, intros and demos. The founders were three suppliers from Canada: Bill Best, Greg and Kangol Kid. After the initial formation in the spring of 1985, The Skeleton and Baudsurfer set up RSI's first domain, "The Pirates Ship" BBS the following summer, which eventually became the "Dawn of Eternity" BBS.

At the end of the year, Irata and Mister Zeropage were asked to join the group and set up a European section in Germany, with Irata being the group's main trader, followed by additional importers in the United States. Slogans at the time included "No risk, no fun - Red Sector Number One" and "Red Sector - The Leading Force". The Light Circle was a basis for several future European members of RSI, a coalition of Radwar Enterprises, Cracking Force Berlin and Flash Cracking Formation.

Red Sector Incorporated first released on the Amiga 1000 in 1986. During the summer, RSI decided to concentrate on the Amiga and formed an Amiga division.

In the beginning of 1987, Red Sector's Commodore 64 section became dormant, to bundle forces on the Amiga. At this time, RSI's first Amiga demo was coded by HQC and released to the Scene. It was followed by the second, "Twilight with Music" by Karsten Obarski. At the end of the year, a short-term cooperation was formed with Ghenna of Defjam, marking the first group cooperation on the Amiga.

Adaro Chirta

The Adaro 1.E.7 Chirta was a Spanish military trainer aircraft built shortly before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.

Design and development
Designed in 1934 in response to a Spanish Air Force requirement as part of its modernisation programme, the Chirta was a conventional sesquiplane, constructed of wood and metal and seating the student and instructor in tandem open cockpits. Slightly tapered wings had ailerons only on the upper wings; unusually, these covered the full span. Fuel was carried in an upper wing tank. There was a cut-out in the trailing edge of the upper wing for better upward visibility from the rear seat; the front seat was under the wing. A triangular fin carried a slightly rounded, unbalanced rudder. The tailskid undercarriage had faired wheels on V-form main legs. The Chirta was intended to undertake fighter training and to be fully aerobatic.

Though the exact date of the first flight of the Chirta is not known, by early July 1935 it was flying and sufficiently developed to have taken part in competitive trials for the trainer contract. It was evaluated against the Gil-Pazó GP-1 and Hispano E-34 but was ranked third, so no production contract was awarded. No further examples were built, though the prototype survived undamaged until at least November 1936, when Francoist forces captured Cuatro Vientos, where the trials had taken place.
