Australia's First Medal
In the artcle, Australia's first medal is said to be the Silver they won in Sydney, but they won Bronze in Atlanta, and possibly also at the 1998 worlds... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.38.105 (talk) 23:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Lauren's birthday
Her birthday is on May 11. It says her birthday on the very beginning of the first page. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 22:33, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)

The official Athens Olympics site (www.athens2004.com; search under "athletes") gives her date of birth as May 11. Dale Arnett 07:17, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * The vast majority of cites on the net (via google and yahoo searches) give her birthdate as May 11. November 5 is test limited to wiki and its mirrors.  I think the proof is overwhelming that it is May 11. -Vina 19:54, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC) and how old is she?

Lauren's height
This article currently says 196 cm, but the 2006 Commonwealth Games site says 195 cm (6'5"). Which is correct? Design 12:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Both, possibly, depending on what time of the day she was measured. Human height varies by more than a centimetre over the course of a day. --Robert Merkel 02:52, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

lauren is 6 foot 5

Parents names
Her parents names are Maree and Gary Jackson.

One edit expansion
It wasn't a one article expansion. Rather, it was drafted in User:LauraHale/Lauren Jackson. Need to get a history merge. --LauraHale (talk) 05:26, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Retinoid

The retinoids are a class of chemical compounds that are vitamers of vitamin A or are chemically related to it. Retinoids have found use in medicine where they regulate epithelial cell growth.

Retinoids have many important functions throughout the body including roles in vision, regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation, growth of bone tissue, immune function, and activation of tumor suppressor genes.

Research is also being done into their ability to treat skin cancers. Currently, alitretinoin (9-cis-retinoic acid) may be used topically to help treat skin lesions from Kaposi's sarcoma, and tretinoin (all-trans- retinoic acid) is used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Types
Retinoids are divided into four generations based on their molecular structure and receptor selectivity.

Structure
The basic structure of the hydrophobic retinoid molecule consists of a cyclic end group, a polyene side chain and a polar end group. The conjugated system formed by alternating C=C double bonds in the polyene side chain are responsible for the color of retinoids (typically yellow, orange, or red). Hence, many retinoids are chromophores. Alternation of side chains and end groups creates the various classes of retinoids.

First and second generation retinoids are able to bind with several retinoid receptors due to the flexibility imparted by their alternating single and double bonds.

Third generation retinoids are less flexible than first- and second-generation retinoids and therefore, interact with fewer retinoid receptors.

Fourth generation retinoid, Trifarotene, binds selectively to the RAR-y receptor. It was approved for use in the US in 2019.

Absorption
The major source of retinoids in human diet are plant pigments such as carotenes and retinyl esters derived from animal sources. Retinyl esters are hydrolyzed in the intestinal lumen to yield free retinol and the corresponding fatty acid (i.e. palmitate or stearate). After hydrolysis, retinol is taken up by the enterocytes. Retinyl ester hydrolysis requires the presence of bile salts that serve to solubilize the retinyl esters in mixed micelles and to activate the hydrolyzing enzymes

Several enzymes that are present in the intestinal lumen may be involved in the hydrolysis of dietary retinyl esters. Cholesterol esterase is secreted into the intestinal lumen from the pancreas and has been shown, in vitro, to display retinyl ester hydrolase activity. In addition, a retinyl ester hydrolase that is intrinsic to the brush-border membrane of the small intestine has been characterized in the rat as well as in the human. The different hydrolyzing enzymes are activated by different types of bile salts and have distinct substrate specificities. For example, whereas the pancreatic esterase is selective for short-chain retinyl esters, the brush-border membrane enzyme preferentially hydrolyzes retinyl esters containing a long-chain fatty acid such as palmitate or stearate. Retinol enters the absorptive cells of the small intestine, preferentially in the all-trans-retinol form.

Uses
Common skin conditions treated by retinoids include acne and psoriasis. Retinoids are used in the treatment of many diverse diseases and are effective in the treatment of a number of dermatological conditions such as inflammatory skin disorders, skin cancers, such as bexaroten for mycosis fungoides, disorders of increased cell turnover (e.g. psoriasis), photoaging, and skin wrinkles. In Japan, isotretinoin may be used for neuroblastoma treatment.

Toxicity
Toxic effects occur with prolonged high intake. The specific toxicity is related to exposure time and the exposure concentration. A medical sign of chronic poisoning is the presence of painful tender swellings on the long bones. Anorexia, skin lesions, hair loss, hepatosplenomegaly, papilloedema, bleeding, general malaise, pseudotumor cerebri, and death may also occur.

Chronic overdose also causes an increased lability of biological membranes and of the outer layer of the skin to peel.

Recent research has suggested a role for retinoids in cutaneous adverse effects for a variety of drugs including the antimalarial drug proguanil. It is proposed that drugs such as proguanil act to disrupt retinoid homeostasis.

Systemic retinoids (isotretinoin, etretinate) are contraindicated during pregnancy as they may cause CNS, cranio-facial, cardiovascular and other defects.

The Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC), based on its review, confirmed that taking oral retinoids during pregnancy can have harmful effects on the baby. The use of acitretin, alitretinoin and isotretinoin should be prohibited in women of childbearing age unless they take measures to prevent pregnancy. The use of topical retinoids should also be excluded during pregnancy and in women planning pregnancy.

Many lotions that claim to prevent or treat stretch marks contain retinol, which is not an ingredient that is safe for pregnant women. That's why the Association of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends that pregnant women consult a health care provider before trying any lotions or oils for stretch mark prevention.

User talk:Pcb21/Archive2

Dear Pete: cheers for comments about Lords Dudley page, I am concerned however that the info I have placed upon it only covers the family of John Sutton, 5th Baron Dudley, and would like to the text in its entirity to a page named John Sutton, 5th Baron Dudley, but do not wish to mess up the links some one has kindly placed in my original text.

If you know how to do this I will happy re write something useful on the new (original) blank page. Otherwise it must remain a glitch for the moment. I am new to Wikipedia, and can not learn everything overnight.

Thanks again for comments Faedra 12:03, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

PS: copywright was my own, as far as I know!!!, IE I wrote the item myself using commonly available sources.

Any update to List of Wikipedians by number of edits coming soon? - Fredrik (talk) 14:22, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Political terrorism
I've printed the article as it stands; it is of such length that it will need a paper edit before it ever hits the computer. I don't know how long it will take to complete, but I'll drop you a note here when it is and ask for your thoughts (odds are, as with all articles of this type, it'll get an NPOV nod right off the bat - when I write articles of this sort, I'll put them on the NPOV page myself just to save someone else the trouble of doing so...) Denni 02:50, 2004 Jun 11 (UTC)

Kasparov versus The World
I noticed that you removed this (incredible) article's listing from VfD the same day it was nominated for deletion. The clear trend was a resounding vote to keep, but I was wondering what the policy is in cases like this. Would there be any good reason (history, possible future VfD, etc.) to let it stay the entire five days and then have the debate archived? Just curious. Thank you. SWAdair | Talk 04:32, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Derivatives
Hi Pete,

I have seen that you are one of the "key contributors" in the mathematical finance area - all good stuff. I was fairly pleased with the rational pricing article and in fact was going to message you to ask what you thought. Now I'm busy adding a section on fixed income valuation to generalise away from derivatives - what do you say? Cheers,

Cetaceans
Category:Cetaceans? Testing it out the see what works before bringing your thoughts to ToL?

Ah. Understood. I had fun deleting all the other ToL categories.... I'll leave yours alone. I know you're a serious contributor and we've had good discussions. The other folks have not been ToLers so they're thoughts don't hold as much weight. Which is why I invited some of the more long term ToLers in to speak their mind on Categories. I'm still ambivalent about them. - UtherSRG

Good work
I second Sverdrup's comment on WP:FAC about your work on Humpback Whale. While I'm at it, I'll also commend you for the other work you do on Wikedia; I've seen lots of great edits with your username next to them on RC and in article histories. Please keep up the invaluable work! :) - Fredrik | talk 23:41, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

No I don't mean a spy! I did apply to GCHQ out of university, but they didn't write back... I've just started wickiing in earnest, perhaps I don't really have time, but if you glance at my contributions they are wide ranging, although not really deep. I have a particular interest in Bletchly Park (although I've packed away all my books relating to cryptography etc.) hence I stuck them on my page to remind myself to check them (I know Welchman was a non page). In addition to quick edits of stuff I spot needing doing I'm looking at a number of pages about numbers. I reckon theres many hours of work knocking them into shape. Thanks for the welcome.

Vandalism and Thanks
Thanks for your post in my talk pages. I did eventually work out from the history of the Current Events page that the vandalism happened elsewhere on the page and must have happened while I was adding something myself (the difference between the vandalised post and mine was about a minute and I was probably reading and editing for 5 minutes myself). Thanks also for your welcome message - I am getting up to speed quite quickly and although I've mostly been doing small edits mostly I have created a couple of stubs with a little starter information in them. --Colin Angus Mackay 12:24, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

new users
I disagree, but I've had a similar conversation in the past wherein I made a number of compromises, giving links to varius newbie pages. It took me a (seemed to me to be anyway) long time to figure out what was going on here on the wiki. While Welcome, newcomers is fine, and the Tutorial and Help desk links are good, they need to know what the mailing list is, and how to handle a dispute, etc... as well. I guess I disagree w your general complaint, but I am open to some specific suggestions, particularly if they don't involve shortening my list of links (which I get copious compliments on btw, have a look at my talk page archives).

It's on a list with 20 other chinese companies I never heard of, but it gets the wrath of the deletion police. weird, isn't it?? Kzzl

hi again.
I've noticed what you told me before seems to be pretty true- there is no lack of minutia on dorky subject matter like LOTR. I came across troll today- very thorough. I'm wondering how this bias manifests itself, most commonly. Surely thoroughness in their favorite areas is not bad for an encyclopedia as long as it's well organized. I think there is bias out there, though. What else have you had trouble with, beside full nice handbag? I looked at the link to systemic bias but it really didn't say much about the phenomenon on wikipedia. it was a talk page. lemme know if you have any insight for me. thankz, Kzzl 02:10, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Journal/periodical/feed summaries, academics
Hi Pete, are there journals you read regularly? You might be interested in this project: Wikisummaries. I think I will begin somewhere on en:, perhaps in my user space... +sj + 00:00, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

On Orca and "Shachi"
"Shachi" is the most commonly used word for "Orca" but it is being increasingly substituted with "Orca" as it is more academic, in few decades they might be completely replaced in mmost of books. As to when this word dates from, I have no idea because it is too far back in the history, probably from the era of oral history, may be somehow connected with ancient and extinct Polynesian languages. It is very old because "Shachi" doesn't mean "a fish that helps fishermen by herding fish, bringing good catch." in the current Japanese, I only found out by researching and has no idea where this came from. It is a indigenous Japanese word as there is no Chinese character that could be used, it could only be written out using phonetical hiragana. Revth 02:14, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

List of Wikipedians by number of edits
Hiya. I notice I have an "X" for "Includes automated edits" on this list. What does that actually mean (or how is it determined?) I don't actually make any automated edits, in that all my edits are done manually. Thanks  — Kate | Talk 06:06, 2004 Aug 11 (UTC)

 * Oops, I didn't mean to come across quite so accusingly there - I was only curious. No need to apologise :-) Thanks for the clarification   — Kate | Talk 21:11, 2004 Aug 11 (UTC)

Announcements
The "sudden announcement" is because apparently some people are quite surprised by the fact that this has been policy for months, it having been decided on the mailing list. See User talk:Jimbo Wales. Accordingly, I'm trying to publicize it more broadly. --Michael Snow 16:49, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, there is some degree of difficulty in reconciling our position on fair use images with our position on other nonfree content. I would say that is partly because people have relied on fair use to a far greater extent than contemplated by our official policy. If you piece together Jimbo's various statements, it amounts to something like "fair use is ok, especially when no other alternatives are available, but we should replace fair use with truly free content if possible". But a lot of people take this and hear only "fair use is always allowed", then proceed to claim that whatever they want to use must be fair use (after all, it's for a good cause, right?).

 * As for methods of communication, I can't tell how much IRC cannibalizes from the mailing list, but of course there are people with significant objections to IRC as well, especially as a place to actually decide policy. --Michael Snow 17:26, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Re: Template:fairuse
Thanks, I was going to sleep but I stayed up to edit it, damn you boy! ;)   —John | Talk 09:19, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)

Hurricane season links
Templates won't work very well for that because reusing the template requires variable links. MediaWiki apparently still chokes on those. If they worked, I would have used one myself, to save me a lot of trouble putting those boxes in on all the older articles (which I need to get around to expanding, *sigh*).

Feel free to obliterate any markedly premature creation of articles on 2005, 2006, or 2007. We know they're going to happen, but about all we know beyond that is the lists of names that are going to be used. -- Cyrius|✎ 18:38, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Template:Spoiler
You can't be serious. Why this article? Why not bring up this issue up at Template talk:Spoiler instead of adding custom messages with no links and no coloring and, most of all, no opportunity for alteration except one by one? If you really want to do this, here you can get started and then keep going. I'm at a loss for words.... V V 09:24, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * This article... because it is an article that I wrote, so I continue to care how it looks. I have struck up a discussion at the template talk page in order to try to get a general change, but there is considerable debate there about what the template is intended for. If the template remains unchanged, it is clear that it is inappropriate for this article ("solutions", hideous colouring, break of flow, etc) and so shouldn't be used here. Pcb21| Pete 10:59, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Surely it's more important that we have Wikipedia-wide style consistency and standards than that those standards be exactly what we want them to be. Having one article with a specialty message with the same function is just silly.  The points you make apply to all articles about plot details. V V  11:19, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I guess I would be helping the 'pedia most by throwing my weight around at the template talk page, which I've now done. Pcb21| Pete 11:40, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I noticed. Good luck. V V  11:57, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Apologies and background on Sea urchin
Let me say a bit more, just so both of you will know why I over-reacted to a simple mistake. (I'm self-diagnosing a mild case of Wikistress, BTW...) (However, a simple edit summary such as "category re Tree of Life project" or even just "category" would reduced my "tension.")

At one point, I did a fair amount of work on Sea urchin myself, so it's on my watchlist. I know nothing of paleontology. In late July I saw that very good on section on geological history had been added by Dlloyd. It was so good, in fact, that I thought it might be a copyvio. Dlloyd explained the circumstances and provided a suitable statement indicating that he was a) was the author and held the copyright, and b) was releasing it under GFDL. Great stuff.

I was shocked when the uncommented "minor edit" turned out to be the whole section, and was concerned about the possibility that a) someone hadn't carefully read the copyright/attribution/license stuff, or b) the possibility that it could actually have been some kind of vandalism.

The Carpetbaggers Let sleeping dogs lie?
Mike Storm's user contributions list shows that he has made a small number of edits since the time when you removed the from The Carpetbaggers, but has not left any comments on Talk:The Carpetbaggers and has not contacted me. I assume that nobody has solicited him directly to comment, right? I have not, and I am not going to do so, because a) I'm involved in the dispute, and b) because of what happened the last time.

Since Mike Storm once said (on Jimbo's talk page IIRC) that he is fourteen years old, I didn't really feel comfortable asking him to review a page that has such frank material on the treatment of sexuality in The Carpetbaggers. But I also felt that the person who inserts an tag should be consulted about its removal and should, ideally, be the one to remove it. I left a carefully-worded message on his talk page saying:

 * The Carpetbaggers was, to put it bluntly, considered borderline-pornographic when it was published. If it offends you to have that stated, then you probably will not like the new article, either. This time, however, I am not asserting it as my own opinion, but quoting the words of the New York Times review that accompanied its publication. I believe that quoting reviews from a well-respected source is well within the bounds of NPOV. I also try to put The Carpetbaggers into context in terms of other books that were being published during those days of the sexual revolution. That section contains some frank language which may offend some but which I think is necessary and appropriate to the subject.

 * Please take a look at it again, or perhaps consider asking some Wikipedian you trust to take a look at it, and see whether it might be appropriate now to remove the notice.

His reaction was to remove the, then to insert it again five minutes later, with a puzzlng comment.

As things stand, you removed the tag and you have a note on the Talk page saying "Should Mike Storm wish to re-apply it, he must note here why."

I'm thinking that the right thing to do is leave things as they are, and hope that Mike will simply let things lie—and, if he doesn't, worry about it when it happens. I do not request any specific actions from Mike at this point. I believe all his actions were well-meaning and done in good faith.

In your opinion, is there anything at all I should be doing? In regard to the Request for Comment page, for example? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 16:08, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sort of responding (again) to your note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dog breeds/Categories.

The link I just gave to the Categories subpage of the Dogs project has an existing & proposed structure for Dogs and below, which probably also ought to apply to Bovines/Cattle (which I have just started working on--in miniscule amounts) and Felines/Cats (which User:Lachatdelarue has been making great strides on).

Mean Combat on Films considered the worst ever
Pete. The entry does have a cite (Pulp Fiction). Plus the list is inherently POV. What happened to "all films removed will be moved to the list on the discussion page" anyway? I have replaced the entry on the discussion page. Truly bad films have a small fan base and this is very definitely in that category. Try Googles on its various names or check the Internet database and you will get a feel for what the movie is like. Very definitely so bad it's good.

 * The list is obviously not inherently POV, if the films listed have a decent cite. "all films removed will be moved to the list on the discussion page" refered to a batch move of a load of films from when the page was a stupid list of people's personal favourite worst movies. Although I am sure Mean Combat is a truly dire movie, there are lots of these. I am in two minds whether the Pulp Fiction reference is a decent enough cite. Pcb21| Pete 08:42, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Poker pages
I saw your edits on WSOP and the talk page. Over the past few weeks I've been working on poker articles and biographies. If you have more than a casual interest in the area, you may want to check out User:CryptoDerk/poker where I keep tabs on the status of them, who should be added, etc.

Right now the only people that have articles are those who have won the main event of the WSOP, those in various halls of fame, those who are in the top 20 or so in all time money winnings, or those poker players who are notable for primarily other things.

As of right now I'm making a second pass through all the articles I started and am at "L". When I get done I'll probably start writing articles for those who don't have them yet. Feel free to let me know if I'm leaving out notable players, if you think some don't deserve articles, etc. Any input is good input. Don't feel obligated to, though, if you don't care too much. Cheers. CryptoDerk 03:46, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)

Counties policy
Hello I have added an explanation note to the counties naming policy at Naming conventions (places). I have done this to make it clearer because certain people have insisted upon mis-interpreting it (see Shipston-on-Stour and Talk:Gloucestershire).

Jaromír Vejvoda

Jaromír Vejvoda (28 March 1902 – 13 November 1988) was a Czech composer. He is best known as the author of the "Beer Barrel Polka".

Life and work
Vejvoda was born and died in Prague-Zbraslav. From 1936 to 1960, he lived in Vrané nad Vltavou, after he married the local native Božena Zamrazilová.

He learned to play the fiddle and flugelhorn in a band led by his father. Later he played these instruments in a military band. He started to compose in the 1920s while he worked as a bartender in a pub owned by his father-in-law. In 1929 he wrote the Modřanská polka named after Modřany, a suburb of Prague where it was played the first time. This catchy tune became a hit and allowed Vejvoda to pursue music as a full-time professional. It was published in 1934 with lyrics Škoda lásky, kterou jsem tobě dala... Publishing house Shapiro Bernstein acquired the rights shortly before World War II and the polka, now the "Beer Barrel Polka" with the English lyrics "Roll out the barrel...", became the most popular song of the Allies in the West, although the original Czech lyrics have a very different meaning and do not speak about beer. After the war this polka became popular around the world, in German-speaking countries as "Rosamunde".

Vejvoda wrote many other hits, such as Kdyby ty muziky nebyly ("If those bands did not exist") and Já ráda tancuju ("I love to dance") but none of them became popular outside of the Czech and German speaking countries.

Vejvoda had three sons: Jaromír, Jiří and Josef. Josef continues the family tradition of being musician, composer and bandleader. His granddaughter Zuzana is a musical actress.

BSD/OS

BSD/OS (originally called BSD/386 and sometimes known as BSDi) is a discontinued proprietary version of the BSD operating system developed by Berkeley Software Design, Inc. (BSDi).

BSD/OS had a reputation for reliability in server roles; the renowned Unix programmer and author W. Richard Stevens used it for his own personal web server.

History
BSDi was formed in 1991 by members of the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) at UC Berkeley to develop and sell a proprietary version of BSD Unix for PC compatible systems with Intel 386 (or later) processors. This made use of work previously done by Bill Jolitz to port BSD to the PC platform.

BSD/386 1.0 was released in March 1993. The company sold licenses and support for it, taking advantage of terms in the BSD License which permit use of the BSD software in proprietary systems, as long the author is credited. The company in turn contributed code and resources to the development of non-proprietary BSD operating systems. In the meantime, Jolitz had left BSDi and independently released an open source BSD for PCs, called 386BSD. The BSDi system features complete and thorough manpage documentation for the entire system, including complete syntax and argument explanations, examples, file usage, authors, and cross-references to other commands.

BSD/386 licenses (including source code) were priced at $995, lower than AT&T UNIX System V source licenses, a fact highlighted in their advertisements. As part of the settlement of USL v. BSDi, BSDI substituted code that had been written for the university's 4.4 BSD-Lite release for disputed code in their OS, effective with release 2.0. By the time of this release, the "386" designation had become dated, and BSD/386 was renamed "BSD/OS". Later releases of BSD/OS also support Sun SPARC-based systems. BSD/OS 5.x versions are available for PowerPC too.

The marketing of BSD/OS became increasingly focused on Internet server applications. However, the increasingly tight market for Unix-compatible software in the late 1990s and early 2000s hurt sales of BSD/OS. On one end of the market, it lacked the certification of the Open Group to bear the UNIX trademark, and the sales force and hardware support of the larger Unix vendors. Simultaneously, it lacked the negligible acquisition cost of the open source BSDs and Linux. BSD/OS was acquired by Wind River Systems in April 2001. Wind River discontinued sales of BSD/OS at the end of 2003, with support terminated at the end of 2004.

Max Alvis

Roy Maxwell Alvis (born February 2, 1938) is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a third baseman from 1962 through 1970, most notably for the Cleveland Indians where he became a two-time All-Star. He played his final season with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Early life
Alvis was born in Jasper, Texas, and graduated from Jasper High School (Jasper, Texas). He attended the University of Texas at Austin.

Professional career
Alvis was signed by the Cleveland Indians as an amateur free agent in 1958. He played his first major league game on September 11, 1962, with the Cleveland Indians.

Alvis became the everyday third baseman for the Indians in. He enjoyed single-season career-high numbers in batting average (.274), RBI (67), runs (81), hits (165), doubles (32) and triples (7). He added 22 home runs (also a personal high), and appeared to be on his way to stardom, but a bout with spinal meningitis disabled him for six weeks in (a season in which he hit 18 homers in only 381 at-bats).

Alvis made a remarkable comeback in, hitting 21 home runs, and was rewarded by being selected for the All-Star game, representing the American League. He turned in a solid 18 HR performance in and led the team with 21 in. His batting average fell to .223 as a full-time player in 1968, and he was relegated to spot duty with Cleveland in 1969, appearing in only 66 games.

He was traded along with Russ Snyder from the Indians to the Brewers for Roy Foster, Frank Coggins and cash during spring training on April 4, 1970. As a backup in Milwaukee, he hit .183 with three homers in 62 games, being released at the end of the season.

Talk:Doink the Clown

Who else performed as Doink?
Steve "Skinner" Keirn was actually the illusion Doink at WrestleMania IX - this is common knowledge and I've never read anywhere previously that Barry Darsow portrayed the persona. It would take mere minutes to confirm Keirn, in fact Matt Bourne's Wiki page confirms this also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.199.207.81 (talk) 14:21, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I don´t who it does, but someone in Germany is wrestling as Dionk in the DWA (Deutsche Wrestling Allianz).

http://dwawebmaster.wix.com/dwa-homepage#!dwa-roster/c3a3

The article gives the impression Matt Borne was another guy who wrestled as Doink. But Matt Borne was Matt Osborne. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.82.110 (talk) 08:25, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

A man named Richard Rego from New Bedford Masachusetts played Doink for a while and was the Doink that came back after being gone for a awhile that was very obviously on steroids. Seems WWF/WWE has deleted all footage of that Doink, possibly in the manner as Ric Flair had the footage of the one time he came down dressed as Spartacus and then cut a scathing promo on Jim Herd destroyed. YES it really happened !!!! I remember watching it, so it really cracks me up when people talk about it like it was just some really bad idea that thankfully never got aired.2601:189:C381:5A60:F1DE:BC1D:ECB9:FBE (talk) 02:38, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

What was Dink's name?
I don't know Dink's real name but prior to being Dink he performed as Tiger Jackson.

More details?
A picture would be grand, of either/both Dink/Doink, or the performers sans makeup. Were these 'good guys' or 'bad guys'? I don't follow entertainment sports/commercial sports, but I know someone can dig out the info. Just paste it here and I'll factor it in if you don't have the time to lovingly craft the articlePedant 22:43, 2004 Oct 23 (UTC)

Vengeance 06
What is the source of the info that Steve Lombardi was Doink at Vengeance? --Ifrit 11:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

SNME
Anyone know who played Doink at wwf knows frank glendenning was known as Doink on july 31st (2007?) ==

The part on that page where it says that Nick Dinsmore did Doink on july 31st (citation needed) is wrong (If you're talking about july 31st of this year)

There was a SD! taping on july 31st but looking at wwe.com archive on the episode of friday night, august 3rd 2007 there is no mention of Eugene matche what so ever...

But when we take a look at friday night july 27th archive page we see that Eugene lost a match against Chavo and in the photo section of that episode we can see Eugene in his эugene-man (kind of Superman) clothes...

photo: http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/archive/07272007/photos/02_ChavKickEugene.jpg

That part should be removed, dont you think?

Finishers...
I don't remember offhand if Doink ever used an inverted Boston crab, definitely don't remember it ever being a finisher, but seeing as how Matt Borne was fairly well-versed in submissions it's possible. However for the record, the Stump Puller is not a inverted Boston crab, it's actually a step-over leg-pull hamstring stretch to a seated opponent. A variation of it where he rolls back to use it can be seen at the end of his TV debut match, seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-CIEJFw55c Enigmatic2k3 (talk) 03:16, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

The Matt Borne, "evil" version of Doink most-definitely used the Stump-puller and I'd imagine it would be relatively easy to find a match on YouTube that would back this up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.199.207.81 (talk) 14:28, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Face paint or mask?
The description of the Doink character refers to face paint, but, at least in the WWF (and in the picture in this article), he clearly wore a mask with a clown face. I'll look for sources, since sometimes obvious things aren't obvious enough for Wikipedia, but no promises. If someone else can find them quicker, be my guest. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:36, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You clearly have no clue. Anyone with a pulse knows that the various incarnations of Doink wore facepaint. Look at the match with Crush at WrestleMania IX. Matt Borne's facepaint was practically gone!69.243.42.251 (talk) 00:20, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Technically, it's both. He had face paint but also wore a sort of balaclava which I suppose some people might refer to ask a mask. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.199.207.81 (talk) 14:26, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Death info for Osborne
Looking at the traffic stats for this article for 6-28-13, it had over 25k hits, while the article for Matt Osborne had 29k views. Obviously many general readers who aren't even familiar with Matt Osborne saw the news regarding the death of "Doink the Clown" and are googling that and pulling up this article - for instance, the NY Daily News' headline stated: "Ex-WWE wrestler Doink the Clown dead at 55". Yes, I am aware that this was a character/gimmick of Osborne's and that it was Osborne who actually died.. Evenrød (talk) 03:14, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's about the gimmick. No need to mention Osborne's death, especially in the lead. Unless he died in the costume, it's largely irrelevant. Anyone coming here because of a newspaper should know the guy's name, and if they don't, the Wikilink's right there. InedibleHulk (talk) 09:52, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I have to respectfully disagree with this point. While it doesn't need to be discussed in great detail, noting Osborne's death is justifiable. You made a point that we don't note the death of a mall Santa's death in the Santa Claus article but it's not the same situation. First off, the mall Santa was not the originator of the character and was not notable for playing the part. On the other hand, Osborne is notable for being the first to play Doink. Secondly, if the article was truly only about the gimmick, as you mentioned above, there would be no need to mention who played Doink at any given time, as the article does presently. NJZombie (talk) 20:40, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * We do note it, in "Wrestlers who played Doink". The year and the fact he died are all that's relevant. Of course, more should be (and is) said in Osborne's article, which is conveniently Wikilinked a few times here. We have nothing here on any Doink's birthdates, hometowns, marriages, non-Doink career, other work, etc. Singling out a death in any substantial way is undue weight. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As for actors who played the gimmick, of course that's relevant. Without a person, the gimmick is just an intangible idea. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:36, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * At the time I wrote my last post, I did not see the minor reference to his death. While I agree there doesn't need be info on the death within the lead and/or info box, it just as noteworthy as mentioning in the body as who portrayed the character through the years. My point was if you're going to bother mentioning a wrestler who portrayed the character, especially the primary one, it's worth mentioning that wrestler's death in the body of the article. Of course the majority of the story should be discussed as more than a mention in a list. Nobody has even brought up including birthdates, hometowns, marriages, non-Doink career or other work and none of those are particularly notable when the article is about the character. The death of the primary guy to portray him though? Pretty notable. I also didn't say that mentioning the wrestlers to play Doink weren't relevant. You had claimed "it's about the gimmick" and that there was "no need to mention Osborne's death". My point was that if it was ONLY about the gimmick and that Osborne's death was not relevant to that, then it was not relevant to list any of the wrestlers WITHIN THE BODY OF THE ARTICLE to begin with. That's the big difference. NJZombie (talk) 06:12, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

 * His birth and life isn't notable here, but his death is? Biased towards recent events and morbid dead clown curiosity. Even moreso written newspaper style like you have it now. Possible suspicions and ongoing investigations. At least wait till we have facts. No deadlines here. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:59, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Like I have it now? I'm not the one who added mention of his death. I made edits to the line that somebody else added. I even deleted entries to the lead and info box that somebody made because it made the article immediately revolve around Osborne. I've approached this respectfully and civilly without making any additions concerning the death of Osborne. So let's not make any accusations. Sound fair? And yes, the death of the primary wrestler to portray the character is more notable about his life before playing the character. The character is what he is most noted for making his passing notable, at least as it relates to the character. NJZombie (talk) 00:23, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, you edited it and left your edition. That's what I meant by "as you have it now". Didn't mean to imply you added the section, just condoned it. Sorry if that touched a nerve.

 * Still not seeing how his death is a bigger part of his personal life than the relationships, drug troubles and other stuff he did after becoming Doink. Maybe, as a zombie, you tend to see death as the most important part of life. Even if you're right, it had nothing to do with the character (unless it emerges he slipped on a banana peel). Look at Bozo the Clown, Clarabell the Clown, Ronald McDonald or Zorro. No death sections for creators or original actors. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:49, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

 * I left it because I don't disagree that it deserves to be mentioned in the body. Not the same as adding it in. If I was looking to edit war, I'd just add back in myself. I've chosen the discussion route, despite the little digs you keep trying to get in. As far as your examples, there may not be entire sections dedicated to the subject but several actors to portray Bozo, as well as his creator, have their deaths mentioned within that article's body which is all that's being suggested here. Also, to go back to a point that you've managed to ignore... If the article is truly JUST going to be about the character, then mentioning who played the character during particular matches is not relevant either. That would be like describing an artist and/or writer who wrote or drew Batman in each and every storyline described within his article. There's not actually anything wrong with that but it should remain consistent then. If you're going to say that it's ONLY about the character and not the people who portrayed the character at any given time, then those mentions within the articles body, should also be removed because it's irrelevant. If those stay there though in that capacity, then it's equally relevant to mention that the guy most notable for playing that character died. Doesn't need a whole section with each and every detail. The reason his recent death is more notable than his relationships, and drug troubles is because it was covered by major media outlets and not just wrestling websites and they all refer directly to his work with WWF/WWE as Doink. NJZombie (talk) 02:34, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

 * There are no little digs. And Osborne's death is mentioned in the body, along with a date. That's all that matters to the gimmick. From this date forward, Doink will no longer be played by him. Saying where he was found, who's investigating, who's speculating...that's people stuff, for people articles.

 * Speaking of ignoring and people, I said earlier that a gimmick is only an idea without a person. Osborne, Apollo and the rest gave it life. Doink dies every time they wash off the paint and pack their boots, and will live again. Everything these people did as Doink is Doink's story. Everything else goes to a better place.

 * Whenever anyone notable dies, newspapers will mention what they're notable for. Whitney Houston's death received about as much coverage as the moon landing, but we don't mention it in Whitney Houston (album) or any other, even though the papers probably mentioned she created it. Same deal, different medium. InedibleHulk (talk) 03:45, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Really? "Sorry if that touched a nerve." seems like a passive aggressive dig to me. Osborne's death is NOT mentioned in the body. It's mentioned in a list that follows the article. You keep talking about how the article belongs solely to character which directly contradicts condoning mentioning who played the character throughout the article at any given time. A sentence like this, "On July 2, 2012, Doink, this time portrayed by longtime WWE veteran Steve Lombardi, aka The Brooklyn Brawler, made a surprise return and had a losing effort against Heath Slater in a match on Monday Night RAW." doesn't belong by that logic. My point is that if THAT is acceptable, then it's not strictly about the character and the "Doink is Doink" theory goes out the window. It can be one or the other. It can't be both. If we want to treat the article body as strictly "Doink is Doink", that's fine. We delete the references to the wrestlers in that section but list them AND mention Osborne's death in the list, apart from the body that discusses the character and the character alone.

 * The Whitney Houston analogy does not even apply to this debate. A news story about a wrestler who portrayed a notable character does make it worth noting in that character's article. Whitney Houston's album is human being, whether fictional or not. She didn't portray an album. A better analogy attempt would have been saying that Ian Fleming's death, doesn't belong in an article about James Bond since he was his creator. But then his death IS mentioned in the James Bond article. This brings me back to the above "Doink is Doink" mention. The only person mandating that the article be strictly about the character is you. James Bond is a character. He's definitely not on the same recognition level as James Bond, but a fictional character nonetheless. I see nobody arguing on the James Bond or James Bond (literary character) that the article be strictly about the character and not to mention the death of the character's creator, which both pages do.

 * As I've said numerous times now, nobody is asking for a huge section dedicated to every detail. Mentioning that he was found dead on a particular date suffices. The details do not need to be even as detailed as in the version that I "condoned" but there should be something other than a mention next to his name in a list. If not, then all mentions of wrestlers who portrayed him should be removed from what is currently titled as the History section due to inconsistency. NJZombie (talk) 06:29, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

 * I don't believe in passive aggression. If I want to insult you, it'll be obvious. When I say sorry, it's an apology. Anyway, I just removed the Brawler bit before I saw this, so we're on the same page there. James Bond is James Bond. Whether people argue there doesn't matter here.

 * The album was analogous to the creation aspect, I'd already given examples of other portrayed clowns.

 * There's no inconsistency in the History section. When Borne plays him, we note it. When someone else does, we note it. Would it be better if we changed "died" to "was found dead" in the list? InedibleHulk (talk) 06:47, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

 * I rewrote the lead. Worked his death in with the character as best I could. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:14, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It actually does matter whether people debate such a thing in other articles as guidelines are the same across the board. Each article does not have its own set of rules. As far as the examples of clowns you gave, at least one of them DID mention the deaths of its creator and actors. The inconsistency in the History section does not refer to the fact that each person to play him is noted. The inconsistency refers to the fact that if you're going to note that the character is played by somebody, it's relevant to note the death of the primary guy to play him in that same section. That being said, I'm fine with the mention as it is now. That's all I was suggesting from the beginning. NJZombie (talk) 11:59, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Shane Douglas
On August 24, 1994, at the NWA World Title Tournament, “The Franchise” Shane Douglas would dress in Matt Osborne’s Doink ring gear and face paint to distract 911 in his match against 2 Cold Scorpio. Matt Osborne would come out without his gear and only partial Doink face paint to deliver chair shots to 911 leading to 911’s countout elimination from the tournament. This would be the precursor of Osborne’s “Born Again” character. Douglas went on to win the tournament later that night and then famously threw the NWA belt down and declared himself as the new ECW Heavyweight Champion of the World. It was a pivotal moment in ECW history as Eastern Championship Wrestling would become Extreme Championship Wrestling, establishing its lasting legacy. 108.59.115.250 (talk) 00:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Veronika Cherkasova

Veronika Cherkasova (Вераніка Анатольеўна Чаркасава, Vieranika Anatoljeŭna Čarkasava; Вероника Анатольевна Черкасова; January 12, 1959 – October 20, 2004) was a Belarusian journalist. She was killed on October 20, 2004. As of 2021, the killer has not been found.

Biography
Veronika Cherkasova was born in Minsk, Belarus, January 12, 1959. She worked on TV in the 1980s, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union she worked for various independent opposition newspapers: "Belorusskaya Delovaya Gazeta" (in the 1990s), "BelGazeta" (1995–2003) and, finally, in 2003–2004 for "Salidarnaść" (Solidarity) newspaper. Later she specialized in investigative journalism and wrote about social issues, including articles about religious sects and Romani communities in Belarus, but also she published several articles about illegal arms trade between Alexander Lukashenko's Belarus and Saddam Hussein's Iraq. She visited Iraq in 2002 as a member of a journalists' group invited to the country by a Belarusian businessmen who had partners in Iraq.

Murder
Cherkasova was murdered in her Minsk apartment on October 20, 2004. She received more than 40 stabs, mostly in the throat and hands. Her body was discovered by her teenage son Anton Filimonov and step-father Vladimir Melezhko, when Cherkasova’s mother got worried that the daughter did not show up at work and did not answer phone calls.

The killer has never been found. No signs of break-in were found, presumably, Cherkasova opened the door herself. The journalists who witnessed the start of investigative actions recall that policemen said “We’ve got to take the pioneer” meaning Veronika’s son. The boy was questioned without lawyer or relatives, threatened, pressured and had to flee to Moscow to his father Dmitry Filimonov. When he was notified that no charges would be pressed on him, the boy returned to Minsk and was arrested for allegedly forging currency. He was released on bail in April 2006. Anton Filimonov developed severe depression and was hospitalized to psychiatric hospital. Cherkasova’s step-father was also pressured by the investigators who tried to make him confess in the murder. World Association of News Publishers, IFEX and other international organizations condemned harassment of Cherkasova’s family and urged Belarusian authorities to make the case's investigation clear and fair.

The official investigation was suspended in December 2005, restarted in February 2006, and suspended again on March 14, 2006, citing lack of indictable suspects. Authorities have never agreed to link Cherkasova’s murder to her professional activities. According to the RSF, the investigation ignored crucial evidence that proved the killing to be connected with her work. According to the journalists, the only things that disappeared from her flat were some photos taken during the last trip to Iraq.

On October 19, 2012, a group of unidentified people tried to break into the Minsk apartment where Cherkasova’s mother, father and son live. The family stated that they experienced multiple visits of the police since 2004, their home was searched in 2008.

As of 2021, the case is still not solved and the murderer has not been found.

Allsvenskan

Allsvenskan (the All-Swedish, also known as Fotbollsallsvenskan, the Football All-Swedish) is a Swedish professional league for men's association football clubs. It was founded in 1924 and is the top tier of the Swedish football league system, operating on a system of promotion and relegation with Superettan. Seasons run from late March or early April to the beginning of November, with the 16 clubs all meeting each other twice, resulting in a 30-match season, for a total of 240 matches league-wide.

Allsvenskan is ranked 23rd in the UEFA coefficients of leagues based on performances in European competitions over the last five years. Allsvenskan is currently ranked third highest of the leagues in Scandinavia after Norway and Denmark. The current champions are Malmö FF, who won the title in the 2023 season.

The three teams with most Swedish championships are Malmö FF (23), IFK Göteborg (18) and IFK Norrköping (13).

. Unlike other European football leagues, the Allsvenskan did not experience an interruption in play during World War II due to Swedish neutrality.

History
Allsvenskan started in the 1924–25 Allsvenskan season and the first winner was GAIS. The one-league twelve team Allsvenskan replaced the Svenska Serien, consisting of a southern and northern group that was held before. In 1931, the league started to decide the Swedish football champions.

In the early years, Norrland and Gotland teams were not allowed to play on higher levels in the league system, which was gradually changed to include the Norrland and Gotland teams on higher levels.

For the 1959 Allsvenskan, the season start was changed from autumn to spring to be played in one calendar year. In 1973, it was expanded to contain 14 teams. In the 1970s, Malmö FF, under the lead of Spanish Antonio Durán and later English Bob Houghton, won five Allsvenskan and managed to proceed to the 1979 European Cup Final, which they lost to Nottingham Forest.

From the 1982 season, the league introduced a play-off to determine the Swedish football champions. In the late 1980s, Malmö FF were dominant, winning the league five times in a row, but only two Swedish championships. The 1990 season saw the introduction of three points per win. The play-off season years were followed by two years of continuation league, named Mästerskapsserien.

The 1993 season saw a return to the classical format, again with 14 teams. IFK Göteborg won five Allsvenskan league titles in the 1990s.

In the early 2000s, Djurgårdens IF won three titles (2002, 2003 and 2005). In 2004, Örebro SK lost its place in the league due to financial problems, and Assyriska FF got their place. Since 2008, the league consists of 16 teams.

Status
The champions are considered Swedish champions and gold medal winners. The runners-up are awarded the Large Silver medal, the third positioned team are awarded the Small Silver medal and the team positioned in fourth place are awarded the Bronze medal.

There have been seasons with exceptions when the winners of Allsvenskan wasn't considered Swedish champions as well. Allsvenskan winners between 1924 and 1930 were crowned league champions and awarded gold medals, the title of Swedish champions was awarded to the winner of Svenska Mästerskapet up until 1925 and then not at all until 1930. The years 1982 through 1990 are also exceptions, the title was instead decided through play-offs during these years. The same was true for the years 1991 and 1992 when the title was decided through a continuation league called Mästerskapsserien. Historically, however, there is a big difference between the Allsvenskan winners before 1931 compared to the period between 1982 and 1992. As winning Allsvenskan in its earlier seasons was the optimal aim for the clubs, while as during the era of play-offs and Mästerskapsserien, the optimal goal wasn't to win Allsvenskan, but the play-offs or Mästerskapsserien.

Competition format
Since 2008 there are 16 clubs in Allsvenskan. During the course of a season (starting in late March and ending in early November) each club plays the others twice (home and away) for a total of 30 games. The two lowest placed teams at the end of the season are relegated to Superettan and the top two teams from Superettan are promoted in their place. The third lowest team in Allsvenskan plays a relegation/promotion play-off against the third placed team in Superettan.

The winners of Allsvenskan qualify for the UEFA Champions League, the runner-up together with the third placed team in the table qualify for the UEFA Europa League as well as the team who wins the Svenska Cupen. In case the winner of the Cup has already qualified to Champions League or Europa League, the third Europa League spot is given to the team that finishes fourth in Allsvenskan.

Changes in competition format
The decider at equal number of points was goal ratio until the 1940–41 season, thereafter goal difference.

Trophy
The current trophy awarded to the Swedish champions is the Lennart Johanssons Pokal. Created in 2001, the trophy is named after former UEFA chairman, Lennart Johansson. A different trophy that was named after Clarence von Rosen, the first chairman of the Swedish Football Association, had previously been used between 1903 and 2000, but was replaced after journalists reported that von Rosen had personal connections to the later infamous Nazi leader Hermann Göring during the time he lived in Sweden (soon after World War One). The former President of the Swedish Football Association, Lars-Åke Lagrell stated that the reason for the change of trophy was not a personal attack against Von Rosen but rather that the Football Association did not want to be linked to Nazism and constantly engage in discussions regarding this every time the trophy was awarded.

Player and manager awards
In addition to the winner's trophy and the individual winner's medals awarded to players, Allsvenskan also awards the most valuable player, goalkeeper of the year, defender of the year, midfielder of the year, forward of the year, newcomer of the year and manager of year at Allsvenskans stora pris together with C More and Magasinet Offside. Also, the Allsvenskan top scorer is awarded.

Sweden
The Swiss corporation Kentaro has owned the TV rights for Allsvenskan since 2006. Through licence agreements with the media company TV4 Group matches are aired through C More Entertainment who broadcasts them on their C More Sport and C More Live channels, until 2019. Matches can also be bought through the online pay-per-view service C SPORTS.

On 24 March 2017, Discovery-owned channel Eurosport and OTT streaming service dPlay will be the new domestic broadcaster for both SEF competitions (Allsvenskan and Superettan) effectively from 2020 until 2025, as well as selected European countries (exc. Italy) for Allsvenskan. In May 2024 Discovery+ was rebranded as Max which is the service that currently broadcasts Allsvenskan.

International
Beginning in 2018, Allsvenskan matches were previously broadcast in the UK on Premier Sports and FreeSports. In October 2018, ESPN picked up the rights to broadcast one Allsvenskan match per week in the United States. Allsvenskan matches have also been broadcast in several countries, such as DAZN in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, Sport Klub in Balkan countries, Nova sports in Cyprus and Greece, TV2 in Norway and 4th Sports in Iraq

Clubs
A total of 67 clubs have played in Allsvenskan from its inception in 1924 up to and including the 2023 season. No club has been a member of the league for every season since its inception. AIK is the club that has participated in the most seasons, with a record of 96 out of 100 seasons in total. Malmö FF has the record for most consecutive seasons: 63 between 1936–37 and 1999. IFK Göteborg is currently the club with the longest running streak, starting their 48th season in 2024.

The following 16 clubs are competing in Allsvenskan during the 2024 season:

Managers
The current managers in Allsvenskan are:

Appearances

Foreign players
Until 1974, foreign players were banned from playing in Allsvenskan, however not on all levels of football in Sweden. In the first season of allowance, on 13 April 1974, English Ronald Powell in Brynäs IF became the first foreign player in Allsvenskan In 1977, Tunisian Melke Amri became the first non-European player. In 1978, Icelandic Teitur Þórðarson in Östers IF became the first foreign player to win the Allsvenskan

Medal table
Historically the players and coaching staff from the four best teams in Allsvenskan are awarded medals at the end of each season. The champions are awarded the gold medal while the runners-up receive the "big silver" medal. The third place team gets the "small silver" medal instead of the more commonly used bronze medal which is instead awarded to the fourth-place finisher. This tradition of awarding four medals and not three is thought to have to do with the fact that the losers of the Semi-finals of Svenska Mästerskapet were both given bronze medals since no bronze match was played.

The overall medal rank is displayed below after points in descending order. 5 points are awarded for a "gold" medal, 3 points for a "big silver" medal, 2 points for a "small silver" medal and 1 point for a bronze medal. The table that follows is accurate as of the end of the 2023 season.

Honoured clubs
Clubs in European football are commonly honoured for winning multiple league titles and a representative golden star is sometimes placed above the club badge to indicate the club having won 10 league titles. In Sweden the star instead symbolizes 10 Swedish championship titles for the majority of the clubs as the league winner has not always been awarded the title of Swedish champions. Stars for Allsvenskan clubs was not common practise until 2006, although AIK had already introduced a star to their kit in 2000. IFK Göteborg, Malmö FF, IFK Norrköping, Örgryte IS and Djurgårdens IF were the first teams after AIK to introduce their stars. No new club has introduced a star since 2006, the clubs closest to their first are IF Elfsborg with 6 Swedish championship titles and Helsingborgs IF with 7 Allsvenskan titles depending on what the star symbolizes. The following table is ordered after number of stars followed by number of Swedish championship titles and then the number of Allsvenskan titles.

 * Statistics updated as of the end of the 2021 season

All-time Allsvenskan table
The all-time Allsvenskan table, "maratontabellen" in Swedish, is a cumulative record of all match results, points, and goals of every team that has played in Allsvenskan since its inception in 1924–25. It uses three points for a win even though this system was not introduced until the 1990 season. The matches played in the championship play-offs between 1982 and 1990 or the matches played in Mästerskapsserien in 1991 and 1992 are not included. The table that follows is accurate as of the end of the 2023 season.

Malmö FF are the current leaders, having had the lead since the end of the 2012 season when they overtook the lead from IFK Göteborg. IFK Göteborg are the club to have spent most seasons in the top spot with 48 seasons as leaders with a record of the most consecutive seasons as leaders with 35 seasons between 1938 and 1972. Six clubs have been in the lead, the lead having changed among them ten times since 1925. The former leader with the lowest current ranking in the table is GAIS, currently placing 12th and 2120 points short of Malmö FF.

A total of 67 clubs have played at least one season at Allsvenskan up to and including 2023 season.

Attendance
The record for highest average home attendance for a club was set by Hammarby in 2022 (26,372 over 15 home matches).

In the past, AIK had the league's highest attendance for the season more often than any other club, followed by IFK Göteborg and Örgryte. However, for the past two decades, Hammarby has dominated the attendance figures helped by a move to the larger Tele2 Arena from the much smaller Söderstadion.

University of Szeged

The University of Szeged (Szegedi Tudományegyetem) is a public research university in Szeged, Hungary. Established as the Jesuit Academy of Kolozsvár in present-day Cluj-Napoca in 1581, the institution was re-established as a university in 1872 by Emperor Franz Joseph I. The university relocated to Szeged in 1921, making it one of the oldest research universities in Hungary. It went through numerous changes throughout the 20th century and was eventually divided into distinct independent universities.

The current University of Szeged was formed in 2000 and is made up of twelve constituent faculties and nineteen doctoral schools, which consist of a range of departments and research groups. Each faculty functions autonomously. In addition to these, the university also operates the Health Centre of the University of Szeged, an extensive teaching hospital responsible for public regional healthcare, and three laboratory schools, which combine public education and teacher training responsibilities. The faculties and associated buildings do not form one single campus, as the buildings are scattered around downtown Szeged, although the Health Centre and the buildings of the Department of Arts are adjacent to each other. Being part of the Bologna zone, most majors are divided into a Bachelor's and Master's and PhD programmes, but the so-called one tyre-master (undivided) programmes are also.

The university also operates the Klebelsberg Library, the largest university library in Central Europe, and six university presses. In the fiscal year of 2014, the university had an operating budget of US$220 million. The University of Szeged has educated a large number of notable alumni, including Nobel laureates Albert Szent-Györgyi and Katalin Karikó, political scientist István Bibó, and poets Attila József and Gyula Juhász.

1581-1871: Founding and predecessors
The earliest predecessor of today's university was established by Stephen Báthory in the city of Kolozsvár in 1581 as a Catholic academy, with a profile in humanities and theology. The academy offered university-level education in arts and different departments were organised by 1598. Before the establishment of a full university system, the academy stopped functioning in 1605 due to the reformation and the Long Turkish War. It was eventually re-opened with Habsburg support in 1698 as the Jesuit Academy of Cluj, and was granted the title Universitas by Maria Theresa in 1753. The university was notable for educating Saxon, Romanian and Hungarian students and the university press published books in three languages.

Following the dissolution of the Society of Jesus in 1773, the university was taken over by the Piarist teaching order, who was responsible for improving modernising education: the Faculty of Law was established in 1774, with the Faculty of Medicine following in 1775. Multiple departments made up these faculties. King Joseph II downgraded the university to a Royal College of the Academy in 1784, which hindered its further progress. Still, the institution became the largest college of Transylvania. The Faculty of Theology was closed down in 1786, and the other faculties offered a wide range of education, including economics and sciences. Following the Civic Revolution and War of Independence of 1848–1849, the Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Law were closed, with the latter functioning as an independent academy starting 1863.

1872-1944: University of Cluj and move to Szeged
The predecessor to the modern university was the University of Kolozsvár, founded in 1872 by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. The university was established as a four-faculty institution following European example: the Faculty of Arts, Languages and History, the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, the Faculty of Mathematics and Sciences, and the Faculty of Medicine were established. 269 students were enrolled in the university programmes in the first school year. The university became Ferenc József University of Cluj in 1881. Following this, the number of students grew sharply and the university had become an important centre of education at a national level. Following the invasion of Cluj in December 1918 during World War I, the university was occupied and was re-organised as a Romanian university.

As a result, the original university was temporarily moved to Szeged in 1921 without any legal or structural changes. At the time, the institution had 62 functioning departments within its four faculties. Between 1922 and 1931, the university saw a great amount of development: teaching hospitals were built along the river Tisza, and other university buildings, including the research institutes on Dóm Square and the Auditorium Maximum at the Faculty of Arts, were built. Among its teachers were Albert Szent-Györgyi, one of the founders of the Faculty of Science, who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937 for his discoveries in connection with Vitamin C.

In 1940, the university was divided into two legally separate entities: a smaller part moved back to Cluj, while the larger part remained in Szeged, and was established as a new institution under the name Miklós Horthy University.

1945-1999: Separate institutions
Following the Soviet occupation of Szeged in October 1944, the university acquired the name University of Szeged. During this period, entrance exams were introduced and teacher training also became an important role of the institution. With the new constitution of 1949, Russian language teaching and teaching of Marxism–Leninism was introduced. Structural changes of this period include the renaming of academic titles and ranks.

In 1951, the Faculty of Medicine was separated from the other three faculties and was established as an independent institution under the name Medical University. It later acquired the name Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical University, while the other faculties assumed the name Attila József University.

2000-today: University of Szeged
By 1996, there had been multiple institutions offering tertiary education in Szeged. As a result, the leaders of these, including those of the Attila József University, the Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical University, the Gyula Juhász Teacher Training College, and the Franz Liszt Musical College, signed a letter of intent that the Szeged University Association be established.

On 1 January 2000, the institutes were unified as the University of Szeged. Functioning as a public university, the institution comprised ten faculties, the number of which ultimately reached 12. Since 2004, a new system in tertiary education was established, which divides most majors into a Bachelor's and a Master's programme. Since 2000, numerous developments have taken place. In 2004, a new university building was opened under the name Attila József Study and Information Centre. The building contains the Klebelsberg Library, the Career Centre, the Students' Service Office, and several study spaces. In 2010, the university acquired the title research university. 2014 saw the inauguration of the ELI-ALPS Research Institute, focusing on attosecond light pulse research.

In 2021, the university senate voted in favour of an operative transformation. As a result, the university will be sustained by a state-established foundation instead of operating as a public university. The decision resulted in a nationwide controversy surrounding the model change of numerous universities in Hungary.

Campus
The University of Szeged has an urban campus, meaning that the university buildings are scattered throughout the city centre without comprising a continuous university campus. Nevertheless, the Health Centre bears a close resemblance to a campus, with the teaching hospitals being in one area. The main administrative building, the Rector's Office is on Dugonics Square, while the twelve faculties are housed in several buildings in downtown Szeged.

Important university buildings include the research institutes surrounding Dóm Square in a U-shape, and the Attila József Study and Information Centre on Ady Square. The building houses the Klebelsberg Library, the Career Centre, the Students' Service Office, and many study spaces. The university also has ten dormitories for Hungarian and international students. Other buildings and sites affiliated with the University of Szeged include the Biological Research Centre, the ELI-ALPS Research Institute and the Health Centre.

The SZTE Botanic Garden is a 24-acre garden outside the city centre and is home to more than 40 protected species whose natural habitats are only found in Hungary. Primarily a research garden, its main purpose is to maintain its rose garden, rock garden and taxonomical collection, and to organise science lessons.

Central governance
The university's formal head is the rector, currently László Róvó. His responsibilities include maintaining in- and out-of-building relationships and making strategic decisions concerning education. Currently, there are four prorectors, responsible for strategy, education, research and development, and international relations, respectively. The chancellor is responsible for the economical management of the institution. The current chancellor is Judit Fendler. Both the chancellor and the rector are part of the Senate. Consisting of 49 decision-making delegates, the Senate make decisions on organisational changes and statutes. Since 2000, the institute has functioned as a public university.

Faculties
Being a collegiate university, the University of Szeged is made up of twelve constituent faculties, along with a central administration. The faculties are:

• Faculty of Agriculture – MGK

• Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies – ETSZK

• Faculty of Engineering – MK

• Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences – BTK

• Faculty of Economics and Business Administration – GTK

• Faculty of Law and Political Sciences – ÁJTK

• Faculty of Medicine – ÁOK

• Béla Bartók Faculty of Arts – ZMK

• Faculty of Pharmacy – GYTK

• Faculty of Sciences and Informatics – TTIK

• Juhász Gyula Faculty of Education – JGYPK

• Faculty of Dentistry – FOK

Each faculty is led by the dean. The dean is appointed for five years and is responsible for overseeing education, research and human resources within the faculty, as well as maintaining a relationship with each department and the rector. The dean is also the leader of the Faculty Council, the decision-making body of each faculty. They are helped by a varying number of vice-deans. Each faculty consists of several institutes, usually organised according to broad research areas. These are responsible for educational decisions, courses, and research and development within the institute. The institutes are further divided into departments, which are on the smallest organisational level. They have immediate responsibility concerning courses, exams and research within the department. For interdisciplinary research involving multiple institutes or departments, research groups may be established.

Research
The university has nineteen doctoral schools and several research groups. 14 research groups are supported by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, among others in areas like pharmaceutical chemistry, biotechnology and environmental technology. 700 research areas are covered at the 19 doctoral schools of Szeged. The researchers of the university have had 25,000 publications in journals and conferences. They have also had 41 patents and 52 know-hows.

Teaching and degrees
Hungarian universities adopted the Bologna objectives in 2004, and as a result, most fields of study have been divided into a Bachelor's and a Master's programme. Medicine, pharmacy, and dental studies, architecture, law and teacher training programmes remain single-cycle programmes called "undivided programmes".

Undergraduate programmes usually last three to four years and result in a bachelor's degree. These usually involve earning 180 or 240 credit points and the writing of a Bachelor's thesis. Postgraduate programmes last one or two years and result in a master's degree. In many areas, distance-learning programmes are also available. Doctorate programmes are also available as an optional study course.

Admission
Tertiary education in Hungary is non-compulsory and admission is elective. The requirements for bachelor's degree programmes include taking the Matura exam, the general school-leaving exam in Hungary. In most programmes, there is an additional requirement of taking the exam in at least one subject at an advanced level. In some programmes, would-be students have to pass a practical examination or a test. Currently, the university has 21,000 university students, studying a total of 134 majors. Szeged offers 52 full-time degree programmes at Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral level.

International students may apply for the programmes online and need to submit a form. They need to upload documents that verify their academic background, language proficiency and general health. The application process varies by faculty, and would-be students may also need to produce motivational letters or pass an online examination interview.

During the application process, would-be students receive points based on their high school performance and the results of their matura exams and may receive extra credit for outstanding performance and language certificates. Tuition is generally state-financed. Would-be students must decide whether they would like to opt for the state-financed programme, for which they need more points, or the self-financed programme. This may be changed later based on the student's academic performance.

Teacher education
Teacher education in Hungary is carried out in a 5 or 6-year, undivided study path. Would-be teachers need to choose two majors, which may or may not be taught within one faculty. The Teacher Training Centre oversees administrative duties and coordinates teacher education between the four faculties of the university that participate in their training: the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Gyula Juhász Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Science and the Béla Bartók Faculty of Arts. Those who wish to enroll in one of the teacher training courses need to pass a general aptitude test and may need to pass practical examinations as well. Teacher training courses range from general courses in the would-be teacher's two majors, as well as specific methodological, pedagogical and psychological modules. Would-be teachers need to pass one short-term and one long-term teaching practice in each of their two majors to receive a master's degree. A 6-year programme is available for secondary school teachers and a shorter, 5-year programme is available for primary school teachers.

Teaching practices are organised in collaboration with the university's laboratory schools. Three laboratory schools are operated by Szeged: These institutions function as university-affiliated state schools. Students of these schools are taught by trained teachers and student-teachers as well, and classroom observations also take place. Based on Heti Világgazdaság's annual school report, SZTE Laboratory High School and Elementary School is Hungary's 39th best high school and the second-best high school in Szeged based on students' competencies, language performance and university admissions.
