Swanley

Swanley is a town and civil parish in the Sevenoaks District of Kent, England, 16 mi southeast of central London, adjacent to the Greater London boundary and within the M25 motorway periphery. The population at the 2021 census was 17,826.

History
In 1066, Swanley only consisted of a few cattle farms, surrounded in oak, sycamore and ash (Fraxinus) woodland. Because Swanley only consisted of a few homesteads, it was not mentioned in the Domesday Book.

There is a theory that the placename Swanley developed from the Saxon term 'Swine-ley', "Ley" meaning a clearing in the woods and "swine" meaning pigs. So it has been suggested that it was originally a Saxon pig farm or a stopping place for pigs on the way to the markets in Kent. This later developed into what we now know as Swanley.

In the sixth and seventh centuries, there were probably two homesteads. After the Norman Conquest, these portions of land were turned into manors, which were then often divided among the monks at Ghent Abbey and Bermondsey. The original settlement of the town of Swanley (as opposed to modern-day Swanley Village) was based around Birchwood which does get mention in later medieval and early modern documents.

The modern-day town developed from a crossroads with only three houses before the advent of the railway in 1861 to a town with a population of 16,588 (in 2001) in one and a half centuries. The newer settlement grew up around the railway junction and was originally named Swanley Junction, before becoming known as Swanley, and the original Swanley became Swanley Village, in the 1920s.

The arrival of the railway changed life in Swanley. The town became the location of Swanley Horticultural College which opened in 1887 and led to horticulture becoming the predominant industry. The college originally only catered for male students. Then in the early 1890s the first female students were admitted. Local Nurseries and florists' outlets blossomed, while casual farm labouring job opportunities on farms became in short supply. Some properties in Swanley still have apple and pear trees in their gardens from the original orchards. The college amalgamated with Wye College near Canterbury in 1945 under the governorship of Lord Northbourne.

Contrary to popular myth, Swanley was never a major flower growing or orchard area (at least not more so than any other part of North Kent) however its location became attractive for London doctors seeking a cure for sick Londoners, escaping the smog of London.

Three hospitals were established, the Kettlewell (or Alexandra) Hospital in 1885, Parkwood Hospital in 1893 and White Oak Hospital in 1897. The Kettlewell stood on the site of Asda's car park and was for poor patients from London who needed to recuperate after major surgery. The Parkwood hospital was similarly used and White Oak was originally for children with eye diseases. During both World war I and II, Kettlewell and Parkwood were used as military hospitals, Parkwood become part of the Sidcup Hospital for facial injuries. After 1948, and the creations of the National Health Service, meant these old London Hospitals became redundant – Kettlewell and White Oak closed in 1959 and Parkwood ceased being a hospital in the early 1960s. Currently, the gates of White Oak can still be seen opposite Swanley Police Station in London Road, the Roman Catholic Church in Bartholomew Way is on the site of Kettlewell's chapel and Parkwood still exists in its entirety in Beechenlea Lane as Parkwood Hall School (a residential and day school).

The civil parish of Swanley was created in 1955 from neighbouring parishes of Farningham and Sutton at Hone reflecting the developments of the town and increase in population. In 1974 the parish council became a Town Council and included the settlements of Hextable, Swanley Village and the main town of Swanley. In 1988, Hextable was formed into a separate parish council.

Up until 1974 it was a part of the Dartford Rural District.

Geography
Within Kent, Swanley is adjacent to the parishes of Wilmington and Hextable to the north, Sutton-at-Hone and Hawley and Farningham to the east, and Eynsford and Crockenhill to the south. To the west there is a boundary with St Mary Cray in the London Borough of Bromley and Ruxley in the London Borough of Bexley.

The closest large towns are Bexleyheath, Dartford, Orpington and Sidcup.

The villages of Hextable Hockenden and Crockenhill use a Swanley address and are part of the Swanley urban area which has a total population of 23,489 with Hextable being earmarked for regeneration in the districts Swanley vision plan.

Being on the outskirts of south east London it is a convenient commuter town for people who work in the city, as they can still be paid the London living wage. It keeps administrative and some traditional links with Sevenoaks and Kent but it is heavily associated with south east London due to the expansion of that area close to Swanley's borders. The majority of housing development took place from the post-war period to late 1980s. A new fire station was opened in 1962, and new post office two years later. Victorian houses and shops were demolished to create a new town centre. Its 1970s shopping centre was then re-modelled in the 1990s when the Asda supermarket was extended and is one of the larger Asda stores.

Road
Swanley has easy access to the M25, M20 and the A20 being on the M25 Junction 3 interchange. The A2 is also north of the town.

Rail
Swanley railway station provides the town with Southeastern services to London Victoria via Bromley South, London Charing Cross (running non stop to London Bridge), Ashford International via Maidstone East and to Gillingham, as well as Thameslink services to London Blackfriars via Bromley South & Catford (which is extended to Welwyn Garden City during peak hours) and to Sevenoaks.

Politics
Swanley has had a town council since 1974, owning some 150 acres of parks and recreation areas. The town is also administered by Sevenoaks District and Kent County Council. It is in the Sevenoaks parliamentary constituency with Laura Trott as its MP. Ryan Hayman is Swanley's CEO having been appointed in 2020

Facilities
Local business sponsor the floral displays, while the Town Council maintains the grass verges and open spaces. The residential is a mix of private housing with social housing on two main estates at St Mary's and White Oak largely provided by West Kent Housing Association who have an office in Swanley Centre.

Swanley Park (which covers 60 acres) was previously known as New Barn park. It was previously New Barn Farm until various fields and orchards were bought by the Town Council to protect the green belt between Hextable and Swanley. There remains acknowledgement of the former use as a farm with a remaining avenue of fruit trees and new avenues of trees linking the car parks to the central play park, soft play centre, café, water park and boating lake. The town council has maintained old hedgerows and trees around the outside of the park and has created allotments and an environment area that is now managed by local volunteers. The park is home to Swanley Athletics Club and hosts a number of county cross country races and other events each year. Around one of the large fields is Swanley New Barn Model railway (running on 800 metres of track) operated by a group of volunteers throughout the summer.

A classical music and firework event – formerly called the '1812 Night' until the Russian invasion of Ukraine – is held on the Friday before the August bank holiday. Awarded worldwide recognition in 2018, the park has 400,000 visitors annually and is one of the most popular parks in the region.

Places of worship
The Victorian St Mary the Virgin's Church is the Anglican parish church of Swanley. The Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Apostles was registered for worship in 1965, superseding a church hall used since 1931. Christ Church, originally Congregational and registered in 1904, is now part of the United Reformed Church. Also in the town are the Swanley Full Gospel Church (Assemblies of God), Elim Christian Centre (Elim Pentecostal), a Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall and a Brethren meeting room.

E. W. Hobson

Ernest William Hobson FRS (27 October 1856 – 19 April 1933) was an English mathematician, now remembered mostly for his books, some of which broke new ground in their coverage in English of topics from mathematical analysis. He was Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Cambridge from 1910 to 1931.

Life
He was born in Derby, and was educated at Derby School, the Royal School of Mines, and Christ's College, Cambridge, graduating Senior Wrangler in 1878. He was the brother of the economist John A. Hobson. He became a Fellow of Christ's almost immediately after graduation. He made his way into research mathematics only gradually, becoming an expert in the theory of spherical harmonics.

His 1907 work on real analysis was something of a watershed in the British mathematical tradition; and was lauded by G. H. Hardy. It included material on general topology and Fourier series that was topical at the time; and included mistakes that were noticed later (for example by R. L. Moore).

From 1924 to 1927, Robert Pollock Gillespie studied under him.

He is buried in the Parish of the Ascension Burial Ground in Cambridge, with his wife Seline, born 25 March 1860, died 10 June 1940, by whom he had four sons, one of whom Walter William (1894–1930) is buried with them in the same grave.

Talk:Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile

FIA classifications
It would be good to have a reference here for those FIA categories: Group 4, Group 5, etc. of the 1970s and Group A, Group B, Group C from the 1980s. Most people don't realize that Group B was not intended just as a rallying category; the Porsche 959 was first shown as the "Porsche Gruppe B" concept; the Ferrari 288GTO was also designed with Group B regulations in mind. Both cars had 2.8-litre turbo engines. For circuit racing, manufacturers simply didn't show interest in that category (the Ferrari GTO Evoluzione being a Group B prototype that never raced). Group C was another matter of course.

Vandalism
Removed "FIA president Max Mosley has said all FIA members are either gay or lesbian" lol —Preceding unsigned comment added by Db1987db (talk • contribs) 11:42, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Fellow editors I think we need to protect this page to prevent vandalism due to the controversial 2019 Canadian GP Karter873 (talk) 10:29, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

North America - Eurocentric
The organistan appears to be eurocentric. What's the reason behind the lack of a North American presence (ie. it relationship with NASCAR, IRL CHamp etc)? Htra0497 19:00, 22 oCtober 2006 (AET)
 * Well, that might have something to do with the simple fact that the FIA has no involvement in the governing of U.S. motorsport.... Adrian M. H. 14:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I very much doubt that's through choice either. They are the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, after all. Some explanation in the article wouldn't go amiss mind you. --kingboyk (talk) 19:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * FIA is involved: The ACCUSFIA is a FIA member and North America's sporting authority. And ACCUSFIA's members are NASCAR, IMSA, Champ Car, ... For example FIA approves the Champ Car calendar. That's why they were disallowed to to race in China in 2007. But the North American series aren't to much involved with adopting FIA sporting code and rules. --Motorsport-archive (talk) 14:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Medical Faculty
If anyone takes on the task of re-writing and expanding this article, which it certainly needs, be sure to include information about the new FIA Medical Faculty. References can be found on the usual motorsport news sites if you need them. Adrian M. H. 21:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

What about the WMSC?
The WMSC and its decisions should IMO be a separarte article. The way it works could then be documented in more detail, and the directvies taken by it could therefore be listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ALCUS36 (talk • contribs) 18:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I personally think it should be a section here until such time as it outgrows this article. However, if you really want to edit the WMSC article you need this link: There would be various redirects to sort out too. --kingboyk (talk) 19:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Criticism
What about what probably tens of thousands of race enthusiast (particularly Porsche ones who I have encountered in the past) said about them, favouritism of French marques such as Matra and Peugeot, especially Group C and in the 70's or changing the rules to suit them, that will be worth adding. Willirennen (talk) 17:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It would attract an almost instant NPOV unless carefully written. --Falcadore (talk) 09:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

List of clubs
That list of clubs (or is ASN the correct terminology rather than club) is going to swamp the article. Surely it would be better to break that out into its own article as "List of FIA affiliate clubs or organisations" or a permutation of such and refer to it by link from ther FIA page. Readability is the most important part of any article and the majority of people browsing across the FIA article will have little interest in a list of the 163 member ASNs. --Falcadore (talk) 09:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * As soon as I finished it, I agreed (without even reading this) - I'll be splitting it out as we speak. Duncan1800 (talk) 12:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Pared down this article quite a bit, of course, but it needs some work anyway - that timeline is a bit sparse. Duncan1800 (talk) 13:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

More Info on 'Paul Metternich'
I found plenty of info on this guy. One day, his family will be forgotten if we dont do anythin bout it tho and they were a bunch of pretty important ppl.

This is a hyperlink to a summary of his wifes life and details quite heavily on Paul himself...

link title

This is a summary of what he done on the FIA. A list of all the past governors of the FIA can be found on the right which is pretty useful. link title

This is an article of him on the German Wikipedia. Pretty amazed you didnt know who he was.

Paul_Alfons_von_Metternich-Winneburg

Lastly, it is in German so I will give you a rough translation thru Google Translate.

Hope this helps.

BTW, I will become a Wikipedia user until the 'beta' is released publicly. I like the look of that (altho it is still under development. MUCH more easier to use.--90.192.107.101 (talk) 15:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Autosport
What does that source? Antimatter31 (talk) 08:52, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It sources the paragraph about the World Motor Sport Council - it was originally provided as a source for World Motor Sport Council and was added to this article when that article was merged into this one in this edit in October 2007. DH85868993 (talk) 10:20, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanx. Antimatter31 (talk) 14:59, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

licences
This article needs some information on the various FIA licence classes, e.g super. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.249.223.220 (talk) 11:15, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You could look at FIA Super Licence. The drivers racing licences are issued by the various national ISNs, not by the FIA. --Falcadore (talk) 12:09, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Requested move 28 March 2015

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile → FIA – per WP:COMMONNAME, exactly the same case as FIFA and FIBA. Cybervoron (talk) 15:30, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support. FIA already redirects here and looking through the history that has been stable except for a couple of undiscussed changes so we can reasonably assume WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. No question it's WP:COMMONNAME. Zarcadia (talk) 16:02, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose since the acronym is not so well known and we tend to avoid obscure acronyms as titles. It would be better to move FIA (disambiguation) to FIA. 73.222.28.191 (talk) 04:18, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * You are wrong, because this acronym is well known and used in a plenty of names of the auto racing championships. Also as it said Zarcadia, it's WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Readers mostly search the article, not the articles from disambiguation as it clearly seen from page statistics. Cybervoron (talk) 06:11, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment. Is it the common name? It's a well used acronym, but I'm not sure whether that's because it is indeed the preferred form, or just simple brevity. The style guides for most publications generally write out the name in full first, then use the acronym after, so I don't think we can gather much from researching the net. I would say "FIA" does primarily refer to the federation, which meets the second part of WP:ACRONYMTITLE, but I'm not sure if the FIA is primarily known by the acronym. QueenCake (talk) 23:03, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * As I said it used in a plenty of names of the auto racing championships. And it's clear that acronym is more commonly known than full name. When I create articles, I used many different sources, and I saw VERY rarely that somebody wrote in the sources Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile or International Automobile Federation. Cybervoron (talk)
 * Agreed, it's as commonly used as NFL, NBA, FIFA etc. There isn't another article at the FIA disambiguation page that comes close to primary topic, it's overwhelmingly the motorsport organization, and this organization is almost always referred to as FIA as evidenced by Google News results: vs . Zarcadia (talk) 16:58, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Oppose Federation Internationale de l'Automobile is the official name. Holdenman05 (talk) 11:13, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * This argument is invalid as we use the common name, not the official name. Zarcadia (talk) 22:44, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Requested move 9 May 2017

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus (non-admin closure) - Yashovardhan (talk) 17:44, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile → FIA – It's a clear case of the WP:ACRONYMTITLE, WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. And it's nothing different from any other international sport federations like FIFA and FIBA. Previous discussion was closed without consensus, but the people who opposed haven't provided any valid arguments. All of their arguments haven't conform any of the WP policies. FIA even on their site in the "About FIA" section doesn't use "Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile". Corvus tristis (talk) 13:24, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support per nom – pretty much everyone, including the organization itself, uses the acronym and not the full title in French. This isn't Médecins Sans Frontières. I agree that the opposing arguments were poor, but now it is an opportunity to rectify the situation. No such user (talk) 14:26, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I have advertised this discussion at WT:MOTOR and WT:CARS. DH85868993 (talk) 20:01, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support per nom – FIA is commonly used and there isn't any other article that could be confused with FIA.Rpo.castro (talk) 20:43, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose As noted above, in the motor sport world 'FIA' means 'Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile'. But outside of the motor sport world it also has other meanings as listed at FIA (disambiguation). We cannot assume that everybody looking up 'FAI' is interested in motor sport.  Stepho  talk 22:18, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I have repaired the link to FIA (disambiguation).Moriori (talk) 23:00, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * @Stepho-wrs, please read carefully WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. None of the articles from disambiguation have even close usage to FIA. For example, probably someone will look up for National Association of Theatre Owners, but NATO is a primary topic. In a case when users need something different then they should use a disambiguation for a different meaning. Corvus tristis (talk) 04:26, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I am fully aware of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and its contents. The primary topic is very much subject to personal opinion. To people interested in motor sport, Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile is the primary topic. To iron workers in Australia, the primary topic is very clearly Federated Ironworkers' Association of Australia. To fire workers in the UK, the primary topic is very clearly Fire Industry Association. It all depends on what the reader is interested in - not what the editor is interested in pushing forward. The onus is on you to show that your interpretation is orders of magnitude better than other people's interpretation. Or to put it another way, why is your motor sport interest more important than a fire industry worker's interest? WP:NWFCTM spells this out.  Stepho  talk 10:06, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * @Stepho-wrs, Page view statistics, reflection in the third-party sources and simple google test are not my personal opinion. And it shows that the international federation is far more notable than any article from disambiguation. P.S. Your examples are defunct organization and local organization for 700+ people, while FIA includes 239 member organizations and it reflects interests of thousands of people. Corvus tristis (talk) 13:25, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Being international doesn't make it primary - it is still restricted to the area of motor sport. You are making claims that Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile is the more common usage but have provided no proof. See WP:PRIMARYTOPIC ("much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined") and WP:DETERMINEPRIMARY. Since you are the one pushing for the change, the onus is on you to provide the proof.  Stepho  talk 21:43, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Maximum page view per day: 675 page views, 21 page views, 10 page views. The difference is obvious. Corvus tristis (talk) 04:35, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Support - FIA is already a redirect here, so there's no extra problem with a move. I would agree that "the FIA" is way way way way way more common than the fill name. If NATO is at NATO, then this article being at FIA makes sense. -mattbuck (Talk) 06:39, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Abstain tilting towards Oppose.  Provided differing opinions are supported by (an) adequate redirect page(s), my usual reaction to these rename discussions is that it doesn't terribly matter.   But there are lots of other uses of the term "FIA", and English language wikipedia is unique in the extent to which it is consulted by people whose mother tongue is not English.   Those of us who think FIA has something to do with motor sport are far more likely to have come across (or been prompted to look at) this discussion than folks who think it stands for something else (1) quite unrelated and (2) far more important (to them - if not to you and me).   In that sense we are in part a self-selecting discussion group.   It is only natural to take that a step further and devalue the preconceptions we do not share.  But that can also be seen as gratuitously arrogant, and it runs counter to the idea that wikipedia is there to share knowledge that people don't already have.   That's even more important - much more important - than sharing between ourselves stuff that we already (think we) know.   Even if sometimes it doesn't feel that way. Regards Charles01 (talk) 06:58, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * @Charles01, there are lots of different meanings to IBM (disambiguation), but are they WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? No, they don't. The same is correct for FIA. Corvus tristis (talk) 07:41, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * As in "...there are no absolute rules for determining whether a primary topic exists".  Seriously, wiki rules and guidelines are there to serve wiki goals and objectives.   Not vice versa.   Any wiki rule or guideline worthy of the name is capable of necessary interpretation, and none the worse for that.  I freely accept that your interpretation and mine may differ.   Frankly - maybe it shows - I'm not wishing to be dogmatic about one interpretation being better than another.   But I do think that if you simply state as you're argument "that's what the rule says", then you'll get into a seemingly endless discussion with someone who asserts that the rule actually says something different.   I'm not sure that such discussions necessarily lead to wikipedia becoming better at fulfilling its core objectives.   Rules and guidelines are helpful as a means to getting to a better place.   They are not the better place itself.   Sorry, I didn't really intend to come back on this.   Success   Charles01 (talk) 08:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Oppose – Whether FIA is supposed to be an article or disambiguation page depends on personal opinion only. And changing just for the sake of changing? No. --Jojhnjoy (talk) 10:35, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * No, it's not. It depends on the usage rate, about which WP:PRIMARYTOPIC clearly states about. It's changing for the sake of the most common usage. Corvus tristis (talk) 13:30, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Oppose I was at weak support to indifferent, but Charles01 makes a good argument. I'm also inclined to prefer the more accurate pagename to the simpler (if more common); for anybody who only knows "FIA", & for anybody looking for other "FIA"s, there are redirects & dab pages. Leave it be.  TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  10:44, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:ACRONYMTITLE. Abbreviations should be used as article titles only when the subject is referred to almost exclusively that way. This case doesn't quite rise to that level. "Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile" is used on the subject's web site and Facebook page, by the BBC, the Independent and the European Commission, among others. FIA redirects here, so no one is getting lost by having the full name rather than an abbreviation as the title. Station1 (talk) 05:13, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Then why they don't call themselves as Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile here? There is only one use of the full title in the header of the site. BBC? They predominately use FIA acronym. And if you will look up for another third-party sources you will see that Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile is exactly the opposite to common name. Corvus tristis (talk) 06:23, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * They do call themselves Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile at their link. The whole purpose of an abbreviation is so that the longer full name need be used once and then not be repeated over and over. So of course the abbreviation will appear much more often. A name and abbreviation are two different things that should not be confused. I agree with you that FIA is also often used without spelling out the full name, but I think not enough to qualify as the article title. Station1 (talk) 06:38, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Probably I'm not something understand but why FIA case differs from FIFA, FIBA, IBM, NBC, etc? It has the same level of the usage for abbreviation instead of full name. It's a second discussion about renaming but nobody can answer this question. Corvus tristis (talk) 07:37, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if it's true or not that they have the same level of usage, since I haven't researched it. My guess is that FIFA, IBM and NBC might have a higher level of usage. FIBA used to be at International Basketball Federation. But if it is true, those articles should be at their full names as well, in my opinion. Station1 (talk) 08:04, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I also note there are relatively few or no other topics abbreviated FIFA, FIBA, or IBM, compared to the number of other topics abbreviated FIA. Station1 (talk) 08:17, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

 * I neither knew FIBA nor NBC. If somebody talked about "Fiba", I would have had to look it up. On the other hand, International Basketball Federation is self-explanatory. Things that would most definitely need an explanation should not be abbreviated. We must not expect that everybody is familiar with something or knows certain things. Simmering for example is abbreviated 11. If you don't even know what Simmering is, how would you be supposed to know that 11. refers to Simmering? --Jojhnjoy (talk) 13:57, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile for a non-French speaker is a way more confusing than FIA, probably it is not hard to guess what does it mean, but is hard to remember correct spelling and repeat it in when you are creating/editing an article. International Automobile Federation is impossible to find in the reliable sources. Corvus tristis (talk) 16:41, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile → FIA – Most articles link to FIA. Furthermore, all uses of FIA refer to this. 2A02:C7D:3FB0:300:B5D1:EF7C:725C:F443 (talk) 10:46, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - as indicated by FIA (disambiguation), there are multiple other uses of the letters FIA. Therefore, the second sentence of your rationale is simply wrong. SSSB (talk) 10:51, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - also note the and  which both closed as no consensus. SSSB (talk) 11:18, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - One discussion in 2015, another in 2017, again in 2020. Will them keep coming until the outcome changes? I voted "yes" in 2017, but did anything changed since 2017? I don't think so, and so this discussion has nothing new. I'm against keep opening discussion after discussion just because the outcome wasn't what you wanted, unless the person who started the discussion provides valid new data that might change the voting outcome.Rpo.castro (talk) 21:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Too many other uses of the same 3 letters. Current use of redirects and the ambig page are working fine.  Stepho  talk 22:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:ACRONYMTITLE. Abbreviations should be used as article titles only when the subject is referred to almost exclusively that way. This case doesn't quite rise to that level. "Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile" is used on the subject's web site and Facebook page, by the BBC, the Independent and the European Commission, among others. FIA redirects here, so no one is getting lost by having the full name rather than an abbreviation as the title. Station1 (talk) 00:35, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Support - Having read the two above discussions I see no real argument made against this move. The fact that FIA has other uses is not relevant since FIA already redirects here so this is the defacto primary topic (since no-one has argued otherwise here or requested a move of FIA (disambiguation)). Further, WP:ACRONYMTITLE suggests we should use an acronym title in this case: "Acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject" (primarily not meaning "almost exclusively", just primarily). The MOS, by my reading, only suggests using the full name when necessary for natural disambiguation, but as FIA already redirects here again that is not a relevant consideration. A7V2 (talk) 12:17, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Station1 and SSSB. 5225C (talk • contributions) 03:13, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:ACRONYMTITLE. Firstly FIA is similar to CIA (the example given in WP:ACRONYMTITLE) as evidenced Station1's oppose statement (that is consensus has rejected moving Central Intelligence Agency to its acronym, in view of arguments that the full name is used in professional and academic publications). Secondly, using the acroymn/abbrevation finders supplied on WP:WP:ACRONYMTITLE suggest that FIA doesn't meet the acroymntitle criteria that Acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject. SSSB (talk) 09:32, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per A7V2 and WP:USEENGLISH. "FIA" is already the WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, so "FIA" already automatically points to this page anyways. In English, "FIA" is the common and established name for the federation. The English "International Automobile Federation" is even used more than the French "Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile", so it wouldn't make sense to keep as-is.  Bait30   Talk 2 me pls? 05:47, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. - On a subject like this I would ideally like to see input from those who don't have a strong interest in motorsport. It may seem obvious to someone who loves motor racing that 'FIA' would mean 'Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile' but that doesn't mean it would be obvious or expected to someone who does not. However, 'Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile' is a conspicuously French title while in English 'FIA' is the common name. Looking elsewhere for comment (for example the WikiProjects of other articles which could be referred to as 'FIA' in some way) could help establish whether the need for natural disambiguation really exists. 2A02:C7F:DC08:9000:514F:3A7:8D8D:C406 (talk) 20:22, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * UTC and ITU are similar French acronyms that I am familiar with. To get non-motorsport people interested in this motorsport article discussion, you will have to advertise it somewhere.  Stepho  talk 21:14, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - "FIA" is clearly WP:COMMONNAME, however since it is a relatively short set of initials which is also used for several other purposes it is probably necessary to ensure that the usage in this context is far more common than any other usages before moving the page to 'FIA'.

Monolithic Memories

Monolithic Memories, Inc. (MMI) was an American semiconductor company which produced bipolar PROMs, programmable logic devices, and logic circuits (including 7400 series TTL).

A team of MMI engineers, under the direction of Ze'ev Drori and headed by John Birkner and H. T. Chua, invented the class of devices known as programmable array logic (PAL).

MMI was founded in 1969 by former Fairchild Semiconductor engineer Ze'ev Drori, later the President and CEO of Tesla Motors. In 1987, under the stewardship of President Irwin Federman, it was merged with Advanced Micro Devices in a $422 million stock swap to become the world's largest integrated circuit manufacturer. AMD later spun off their programmable logic division as Vantis, which was then acquired by Lattice Semiconductor.

Retirement
In May 2005, aged 34, he came out of retirement and travelled to Bolton, England for a third fight with Amir Khan. He had beaten Khan twice already the previous year – in the Pre-Olympic tournament and the Olympic Lightweight final – however Khan had become a popular attraction in the UK and a third fight was arranged to set up his professional debut. Khan beat Kindelan on points 19–13.

Having retired, he is generally considered one of the greatest amateur boxers ever seen, leading to the comment during his final fight by the boxing commentator that he was "a professional in a vest".

Typical for athletes from Cuba, where professional sport is prohibited, his reward is his pride in representing his people on the Olympic stage. He said, of being offered $1 million to compete professionally, "I thanked them, but money cannot buy what I have."

Sandford Orcas

Sandford Orcas is a village and parish in northwest Dorset, England, 3 mi north of Sherborne. In the 2011 census, the parish had a population of 180. Just to the east of the village itself is the hamlet of Holway. The village lies in hilly country on the Dorset/Somerset county border and was part of Somerset until 1896, with the land connected to the Abbot of Glastonbury.

The poetic-sounding village name has a more prosaic explanation. Three streams rise in the parish, and in Saxon times, the water was forded over a sandy riverbed from which the name Sandford derives. The 'Orcas' descends from the Norman Orescuilz family, who came to own the village manor in the century after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The village was known as Sanford in 1086 (in the Domesday Book), Sandford in 1243, Sandford Horscoys in 1372, and Samford Orescoys in 1427. The manor house built circa 1550 during the Tudors is Grade I listed and has changed little over the centuries. The two renovations completed over the past 150 years have both been quite sympathetic.

The parish was part of the hundred of Horethorne.

Adjacent to the manor house is the Perpendicular church of Saint Nicholas, which has a 13th-century font, shaped like an upturned Canterbury bell flower. In the south chapel is a wall monument of carved and painted alabaster, showing a knight in armor kneeling between his two wives and eleven children. Seven children kneel, in black gowns, and the others are in swaddling clothes of red and lying in a heap behind their mother. The knight, who rests below the memorial, is William Knoyle. The reading on the stone gives information on this tomb dated 1607. It seems he married 'Fillip, daughter of Robert Morgane...by whom hee had yssve 4 children & bee dead'. The knight's second wife was Grace Clavel, by whom he had three sons and four daughters, who survived him.

Talk:Spin glass

Restructure
This article needs some rewriting. It should be structured into a section on experimental facts and another on theoretical findings, i.e.: replica symmetry breaking, TAP equations and all that. I may do it when I find the time... Javirl 15:44, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Equation not found
I cannot find the free energy expression for the Edwards–Anderson model given at the end of the section, in the given reference. Am I missing it, or is there a page number that can be provided.

Glass transition temperature
I think that the article should refer to glass transition temperature. However it should be added that in spin glass physics the word glass transition refers to a second order phase transition, whereas in glass physics glass transition temperature refers to a slowdown of the kinetics at low temperature.

Confusing
I realize that the subject matter of this article is pretty specialized, but it would be more encyclopedic if it was made a bit clearer to people with no background in physics. It took me a few reads of the first paragraph even to get a basic idea of what a spin glass is. Manderr (talk) 17:02, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I rewrote the intro; hopefully it's comprehensible now. -- Beland (talk) 15:07, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Phosphate-Coated Nickel Plate on Frosted Glass
Plate nickel on fluoride-frosted glass. Oxidize the nickel. Protect that with phosphate.

I just had a brain fart that tells me this ceramic material might be useful for something, but whether it's a magnetic recording medium, a phosphor, or a polarized reflector for some specific frequency of light totally eludes me. I really don't have the equipment to do it. For all I know, you could run current along a strip of it and get light out of the perpendicular. Brewhaha@edmc.net 07:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Spin glass, Spin-glass, or Spinglass?
How do you spell this correctly? The article constantly switches between these 3 possibilities. --85 [?!] 23:31, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've standardised all occurrences in the prose to spin glass, per the title of the article. Brammers (talk/c) 17:10, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Non-ergodic behavior
This needs to be explained with more clarity. Is it saying that something like the enthalpy of fusion happens at the freezing temperature? -- Beland (talk) 15:18, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Ergodic means that all states are visited/distributed equally: e.g. the Bernoulli process of a coin toss is ergodic. Non-ergodic means .. they're not. It is usually measured with the participation ratio which is vanishing when ergodic (e.g. high-temperature) and is of order unity when a glass (low temperature). Roughly speaking, the participation ratio counts the number of states that "participate" in the ground state. Someone should add this to the article. 162.204.250.21 (talk) 00:57, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, here, let me quote: "We decided  that   the thing  to  do was  to ignore  the  spatial ordering,  that  is, to  neglect  the  long-range  ordering  of  spins  in  space,  if any,  and  instead  to  look  for  long-range order  in  time.  Richard  Palmer later  named  this  concept  "nonergodicity"  because  it  means,  when  present, that  the system  does not  explore all  possible  states  in  the  course  of time.   As  the  measure  of  long-range order in time, we introduced  q, which is  the  average  correlation  between  a spin S,  measured at one time and  the same  spin  measured  a  macroscopic time  t later.  The equations  are ..." 162.204.250.21 (talk) 02:31, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Gardner transition merge
I think this was originally proposed as a very specific theoretical transition within a generalized Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of a spin glass. There are some indications this is more broadly applicable but it's not really clear to me how much. As it stands, the content of gardner transition would easily fall within the scope of spin glass, but might not if the article was a more complete treatment. I'm proposing merge here partly to get visibility for an orphaned article, and to better define the scope to see if merging is a good idea. $$\langle$$ Forbes72 | Talk $$\rangle$$ 16:23, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
