Will Estes

William Estes Nipper (born October 21, 1978) is an American actor known for his role on CBS police drama Blue Bloods as Jameson "Jamie" Reagan, a New York City Police Department officer and the youngest son of the police commissioner, played by Tom Selleck. Prior to that role, he starred as J.J. Pryor, on the NBC drama American Dreams.

Early life
Estes was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, where he currently resides.

Career
Estes' break-out movie role was Seaman Ronald 'Rabbit' Parker on U-571. Early in his career, he did many commercials including Fruit of the Loom and numerous guest starring roles in series like Highway to Heaven and Santa Barbara.

Estes landed his first major role in a television series when he was chosen out of 700 other children to play Will McCollough (essentially the "Timmy" role) in the syndicated New Lassie series, which ran from 1989 to 1992. Since then, he has had many starring roles in television series and he dabbled in the music video industry. He has appeared in Meat Loaf's video "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer than They Are" (from Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell) and was in Bon Jovi's video "It's My Life" with Shiri Appleby.

In 2000, according to a 2005 Soap Talk interview, Estes was asked by Jon Bon Jovi to be in his music video after he worked with Estes on U-571. Estes did most of his own stunts in the video.

Estes had a leading role in the Fox series Reunion. The series followed six best friends over the course of 20 years, with each episode marking the next successive year. When the group meets up for its 20th high school reunion, one turns up dead at the end of the night. In late 2005, Fox announced that the series would be canceled because of low ratings and the identity of the murderer would not be revealed.

Estes portrayed Jack Kerouac in the 2007 short film Luz Del Mundo, written by Ty Roberts and David Trimble, directed by Ty Roberts, and produced by Ryan McWhirter and John Pitts. He has also appeared in a couple of photographs, in the books Hollywood Splash and Men Before 10 AM Too. He was nominated four times for one award, the Young Artist Awards for The New Lassie and Kirk.

Since 2010, Estes has been playing Jamie Reagan in the police procedural television series Blue Bloods.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based and non-linear video editing software application (NLE) developed by Adobe and published as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud licensing program. First launched in 2003, Adobe Premiere Pro is a successor of Adobe Premiere (first launched in 1991). It is geared towards professional video editing, while its sibling, Adobe Premiere Elements, targets the consumer market.

CNN was an early adopter of Adobe Premiere Pro. Also, in 2007, certain BBC departments adopted Premiere Pro. It has been used to edit feature films, such as Deadpool, Gone Girl, Captain Abu Raed, Terminator: Dark Fate, Monsters, and the 2022 Academy Award Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All At Once, and other venues such as Madonna's Confessions Tour.

Original Adobe Premiere
The original version of Adobe Premiere was developed by Adobe Systems. It was first launched in 1991. Premiere was one of the first computer non-linear editing systems. The first version for Mac was released in 1991, and the first version for Microsoft Windows was released in September 1993. Its final version was released in 2002.

The project began at SuperMac Technology as ReelTime, a QuickTime-based video editor for its VideoSpigot video capture card. SuperMac engineer Randy Ubillos created a working demo of ReelTime in about 10 weeks while QuickTime was still in beta. The software project was acquired by Adobe Systems in August 1991 and was renamed Adobe Premiere. Ubillos also left SuperMac to join Adobe.

Premiere was the second of many QuickTime-based video editors on the market. As a result, its ability to import new video formats could also be upgraded by updating to a newer compatible version of Quicktime. However, it was limited to processing video and images that were 1024 pixels wide, or less.

Premiere included 24 transition effects and a plug-in architecture that was compatible with some Photoshop filters.

Premiere was based on ReelTime, a product acquired from SuperMac Technologies Inc. and was one of the first computer-based NLEs (non-linear editing system), with its first release on Mac in 1991. Adobe briefly abandoned the Mac platform after version 6 of Premiere. Up until version Premiere Pro 2.0 (CS2), the software packaging featured a galloping horse, in a nod to Eadweard Muybridge's work, "Sallie Gardner at a Gallop".

Release of Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro was launched in 2003. It was a re-written version of Premiere. Premiere Pro refers to versions released in 2003 and later, whereas Premiere refers to the earlier releases.

Features
Premiere Pro supports high-resolution video editing at up to 10,240 × 8,192 resolution, up to 32 bits per channel color, in both RGB and YUV. Audio sample-level editing, VST audio plug-in support, and 5.1 surround sound mixing are available. The plug-in architecture enables it to import and export formats, supporting a wide variety of video and audio file formats and codecs on both MacOS and Windows. When used with CineForm Neo, it supports 3D editing with the ability to view 3D material using 2D monitors while making individual left and right eye adjustments.

Premiere Pro can be used to import video, audio and graphics, and to create new, edited versions of video that can be exported to the medium and format necessary for distribution. When creating videos using Premiere Pro, various videos, still images and audio files can be edited together. Titles and motion graphics can be added to videos and filters can be applied along with other effects.

Premiere Pro was used in films such as Superman Returns, Dust to Glory (for video capture processing), and also in places such as Madonna's Confessions Tour.

Workflow integration

 * After Effects
 * Through Adobe Dynamic Link, compositions from Adobe After Effects may be imported and played back directly on the Premiere Pro timeline. The After Effects composition can be modified, and after switching back to Premiere Pro, the clip will update with the changes.  Likewise, Premiere Pro projects can be imported into After Effects.  Clips can be copied between the two applications while preserving most clip attributes.  Premiere Pro also supports many After Effects plug-ins.

 * Premiere Rush
 * Video projects in Premiere Rush can be opened in Premiere Pro to make edits and open windows that are more complex.

 * Photoshop
 * Adobe Photoshop files can be opened directly from Premiere Pro to be edited in Photoshop. Any changes will immediately be updated when the Photoshop file is saved and focus returns to Premiere Pro.

 * Illustrator
 * Adobe Illustrator files can also be opened directly in Premiere Pro. These files are generally vector files, which means that they are mathematical paths that can expand or decrease with any zoom level.

 * Adobe Story, OnLocation and Prelude
 * The Premiere Pro workflow takes advantage of metadata in the script of video production. The script is created in or brought into Adobe Story, then passed to Adobe OnLocation to capture footage and attach any relevant metadata from the script to that footage. Finally, in Premiere Pro, speech recognition can match the audio to the dialogue from the script in the metadata.  Clips can be searched based on their dialogue in Premiere Pro, and can be sent to Adobe Encore to make searchable web DVDs. Encore was discontinued with the release of Adobe Creative Cloud. Adobe Prelude replaces OnLocation in CS6 and above.
 * Others
 * There are other integration functions, such as Edit in Adobe Audition, Dynamic Link to Encore, and Reveal in Adobe Bridge. In June 2020, Adobe launched a stock audio offering for Premiere Pro users.

Various extensions are available for Premiere Pro, provided by third parties. These include music libraries, graphic elements, and workflow improvements. Extensions open in their own panel within the Premiere Pro interface.

Plug-ins can be created for Premiere Pro to add additional functionality. Plug-ins can serve several purposes, such as video and audio effects and adding additional codec and hardware support. They can be created specifically for Premiere Pro, or they can be created for After Effects and still run on Premiere Pro. Popular plug-in suites include Red Giant, BorisFX, and NewBlue.

Adobe Premiere family
The Adobe Premiere family is a group of applications and services made by Adobe Inc. for the use of professional non-linear video editing. Several features of the Adobe Premiere family are non-linear video editing, metadata and ingest logging, media output encoding, and more.

Current applications

 * Dynamic Link is a workflow that integrates After Effects with Premiere Pro and with the discontinued Encore, allowing files to be transferred between the two without re-rendering.
 * Elements Organizer is the digital asset management app for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. It is able to organize all your photos and video projects all in one place.
 * Media Encoder is a tool to output video files in order support more audiences and to lessen the file size.
 * Premiere Elements is a video editing software application published by Adobe Systems. It is a scaled-down version of Premiere Pro and is tailored to novice editors and consumers. The entry screen offers clip organization, editing and auto-movie generation options. Premiere Pro project files are not compatible with Premiere Elements projects files. Its main competitors are Final Cut Express (no longer sold), AVS Video Editor, PowerDirector, Pinnacle Studio, Sony Vegas Movie Studio, Sony Vegas, Corel VideoStudio, and iMovie. Unlike many of its competitors, Premiere Elements can handle unlimited video and audio tracks, with multiple keyframe effects applied to each clip, as well as picture-in-picture and chroma key capabilities. It also supports many third-party plug-ins for additional features, including Premiere Pro plug-ins, After Effects plug-ins, and VST effects. It can create bars and tone and a countdown leader, just like Premiere Pro. The program also features real-time video rendering which allows the user to instantly preview edits made to the video timeline. It is available for Windows and MacOS.
 * Premiere Pro is a timeline-based video editing software application developed by Adobe Inc. and published as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud licensing program. First launched in 2003, Adobe Premiere Pro is a successor of Adobe Premiere (first launched in 1991).
 * Premiere Rush is a simplified pro-quality video app for mobile devices, developed by Adobe and available through Creative Cloud. It replaced Premiere Clip as the mobile video editing application by Adobe Inc. today.

Discontinued applications

 * Encore (previously called Encore DVD) was a specialized DVD authoring app, which converts the output of Premiere Pro and After Effects to a format suitable for DVD and Blu-ray players. Files are automatically transcoded to MPEG-2 or H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video and Dolby Digital audio. It was discontinued along with Fireworks on CS6.
 * OnLocation was a direct-to-disk recording and monitoring software. It was soon replaced by Prelude in Adobe Creative Suite 6.
 * Prelude was an ingest and logging tool for tagging media with metadata for searching, post-production workflows, and footage lifecycle management. Adobe Prelude was also made to work closely with Premiere Pro. It was announced that it would discontinued on September 8, 2021.
 * Premiere was a former video editing software developed by Adobe Systems. It was first launched in 1991, and its final version was released in 2002. It was replaced by Premiere Pro, a rewritten version of Adobe Premiere.
 * Premiere Clip was a timeline based video editing software on mobile platform. It is no longer supported for new and upcoming users since September 17, 2019. Extended support for all active customers lasted until March 17, 2020.
 * Premiere Express was a rich Internet application for simple editing of digital video files. The release was announced on February 21, 2007. The program itself is served as a free tool for users of YouTube, Photobucket, and MTV.com. As Adobe Systems allowed websites to contact them to request Express, YouTube received it on their website as a way of remixing videos on a member's YouTube account. Known as YouTube's Video Remixer, it was found on TestTube at youtube.com/testtube. It was later taken down.
 * Premiere Limited Edition (LE) was a video editor for novice video editors and hobbyists. It contains most of the features of the professional version but with fewer and simpler options. It was instead replaced by Premiere Elements in September 2004.
 * SpeedGrade is a tool for performing color corrections and developing looks for Premiere projects. SpeedGrade was discontinued on August 22, 2017, but can still be used by subscribers at the time. Features from SpeedGrade are now found in the Lumetri Color Correction feature in Premiere Pro.
 * Story was a screenwriting and film/TV pre-production online application which integrates with the Premiere family. It allows users to create scripts for movies and TV shows.
 * Ultra is a discontinued chroma key compositing app, which removes the background of video usually recorded on a blue or green screen and combines it with another video background. Ultra was only available in the CS3 package. It was later incorporated into Premiere Elements and Visual Communicator. Later versions of Premiere Pro and After Effects have had built-in chroma key compositing features.
 * Version Cue was a revision control system for maintaining multiple revisions of works among teams. It was removed from the Creative Suite after CS4.

Remote Imaging Protocol

The Remote Imaging Protocol and its associated Remote Imaging Protocol Script language, RIPscrip, is a graphics language that provides a system for sending vector graphics over low-bandwidth links, notably modems. It was originally created by Jeff Reeder, Jim Bergman, and Mark Hayton of TeleGrafix Communications in Huntington Beach, California to enhance bulletin board systems and other applications.

RIPscrip was introduced in 1992 and consisted of ASCII-text descriptions of vector-drawn graphics and images, along with facilities to create menus and clickable buttons. These were sent from the BBS instead of the more common ANSI color-coded text-mode screens, and were interpreted on the user's end by a RIP-enabled terminal program such as TeleGrafix's own RIPTerm. Lines of text appeared in one display, graphics in another. RIPscrip could not be used as the basis for a complete GUI, as it included no text editing system.

RIPscript 1.5x was a text based wrapper around the Borland Graphics Interface (BGI). Drawing primitives all relied on the BGI, fonts were limited to those provided by the BGI (*.CHR). RIPscrip icon (.ICN) file format was that of the BGI getImage and putImage functions. The choice to include the BGI flood fill function was considered by many to be a mistake, as third-party implementations of the RIPscrip protocol often failed to implement Bezier curves the same way Telegrafix had, thus leading to the flood fill leaking out of the intended object and filling the entire screen. Telegrafix never published their Bezier algorithm or a complete RIPscrip specification, thus ensuring developers wishing to implement RIPscrip were forced to purchase Telegrafix's expensive developers kit, containing pre-compiled BGI wrapper DLLs.

Early versions of RIPscrip were tightly tied to the EGA 640×350 EGA standard and had a decidedly MS-DOS-like feel. Later versions provided resolution independence (after a fashion), expanded color palettes, and the ability to work over telnet for Internet access. By this time public access to the World Wide Web caused interest in bulletin board systems to rapidly decline, resulting in the eventual end of RIPscrip development and the company. Although RIPscrip 2.0 was released and 3.0 was planned, the most common version of RIPscrip in actual use was the 1.5x series.

Vector image standards which are present on the World Wide Web today that draw some similarities include Adobe Flash and SVG.

Description
RIPscrip is a simple page description language similar in concept to PostScript or HPGL. Graphics output is described in a series of text instructions, which have been heavily optimized in RIPscrip to be as short as possible in order to save transmission time.:

A RIPscrip aware terminal watches for lines beginning with a special RIPscrip escape character and interprets the following instructions, passing along non-escaped lines to the text output screen. RIPscrip used separate text and graphics displays, one each, and although it could draw text into the graphics screen, the speed of doing so was such that it was not useful for general text output or editing. Generally, a system using RIPscrip would use the graphics screen for presenting menus, with conventional editing and input taking place in the text screen. RIPscrip would not normally be used to build a conventional GUI with multiple windows or mouse-driven text editing, for instance.

The RIPscrip escape character was the exclamation mark,. RIPscrip commands were always preceded by the vertical bar,, followed by a single-letter command. Later versions optionally inserted digits between the vertical bar and command letter, indicating what version of RIPscrip was needed to interpret that command, allowing older terminals to quickly filter out non-supported features. A common command one would find in a RIPscrip file would be to set the size and position of the text output window, typically something like, with the "w" command for "window", followed by a series of numbers indicating its location and size.

RIPscrip commands could be stacked together on a single line for compactness. For instance,  sets up the standard graphics viewport output window with , erases any existing image with   (redundant as the window was just reset), sets the color to green with  , and then draws text with. More complex drawings would normally be built out of a series of stacked commands, each one representing some part of the overall drawing to be created, breaking it into logical groups.

In addition to basic graphics like lines and circles, RIPscrip also included commands for interactive objects, notably buttons. The  command drew a button into the display at a specified location with and optional icon, hot key, and label. When the button was pressed with the mouse or hot key, the last parameter, the host command string, was sent back to the server. In this way the RIPscrip author could produce graphical menus for commands in the system, perhaps one that lists all the available forums by sending the text "FPA" for "forums, public, all". These strings would be different for every host software, and also tend to be somewhat different from system to system.

Talk:Germany national football team

Article split
This article was quite long at 160kB, and the History section in particular was long, so I decided to WP:SPLIT the article. Wiki guidelines state that articles over 100kB are WP:TOOBIG and should be divided. I created a new article for the History of the Germany national football team. I am condensing this main article, both the History section and other historical aspects, because there is no need to duplicate the History article. The result should be that this main article is much more readable, while the full historical context is still preserved in the History article. Barryjjoyce (talk) 02:12, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Top goalscorers
Why are the East German footballers not included in the Wikipedia list as per the DFB? Either they should be included or some rationale should be given for their exclusion. Tinbath (talk) 20:12, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Ilkay Gundogan
He last played in August of last year so shouldn't he be listed under "recent callups"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.85.82 (talk) 02:31, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Nickname "Die Mannschaft"
Does anyone have a viable source for that? No one ever calls them "die Mannschaft" to my knowledge, and I am from Germany. Just saying the common word for "team" doesn't make much sense after all. If I'd tell a friend that "die Mannschaft" is playing tonight, the answer would just be "Which team?". It's true that "Nationalmannschaft" is largly identified with the DFB men's football team, but it can also refer to handball, volleyball, Olympic athletes, etc.

--Tallyho (talk) 10:33, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Almost every British announcer calls them that. Google it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:21, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I have to add in although every British announcer "may call them that [mannschaft]", it's (a) actually wrong and never used in Germany, and (b) not frequently used in Britain. I have only rarely seen Mannschaft used in britain whereas the more obvious Germany, German team etc. are used. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 20:31, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter if it's not correct German, this isn't the German Wikipedia, it's the English Wikipedia. As for "not frequently used in Britian", you're wrong. Google the term and switch to the news tab. It's a very, very common term. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:20, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, then almost every British announcer is incorrect. I think you should specify in the article, that "Die Mannschaft" is foreign usage only. Also, "google it" is no a viable source in the sense of Wikipedia. --Tallyho (talk) 13:17, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Please read what I wrote. You clearly don't understand. Perhaps this will help. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:17, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

The outcome of the finals does not change anything regarding nicknames or Wikipedia's source policies. If you think I do not understand, please care to explain. I merely stated that it should be made clear in the article that "Die Mannschaft", as common as it might be elsewhere, is not common use in Germany. So, it's actually mostly foreign use only. Also, I never said it's not used in Britain. --Tallyho (talk) 06:49, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * "Mannschaft" translates as team or crew. It is totally generic and in Germany it is certainly NOT a nickname for the national soccer team. A correct word in German would be "Nationalelf". Since this is the correct technical term it is no nickname, though. I actually cannot think of a nickname similar to Gli Azzurri, Les Bleus etc. What's the nickname for the English National Team?--Hyphantes (talk) 23:41, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * What the English National Team's nickname is immaterial to this article. Die Mannschaft is a nickname for the German National Men's team in the English language. If you'd like to compose a phrase for use somewhere in the article that explains that the nickname is not used in Germany and isn't even proper German, it could most certainly be added. However suggesting that it be removed is a non-starter. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:26, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Why are you so apologetic? I just asked for the nickname of the English team, because I didn't find it in the respective Wiki-article. If you know it, you could be so kind to tell me, if not, no problem. Regarding the article, I'm comfortable with the current formulation. I'd cut on a few adverbs, but that's stylistic. I doubt however that the English "nickname" is so important to come up in first chapter. As a start, to get this fuss out of the way, I'd put it in last position.--Hyphantes (talk) 11:59, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Not apologetic. This article is about the German national team. If you want information about a different team, either Google it or ask at that article. As for importance, try Googling the nicknames and see how many hits you get for each. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:15, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * In this discussion thread there are two chapters (6 and 17) questioning the nickname entry. Since it appears questionable (at least to some), as a compromise I proposed to postpone it. Nobody objected, but now it's again in first place. Is this some kind of conspiracy? Please discuss the position here, before putting this chapter in first place again. Otherwise I'll be favourable to cancellation.--Hyphantes (talk) 20:24, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

The current wording is pretty decent, as well is the placement imo. --Tallyho (talk) 21:34, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree with Tallyho. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:08, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm glad we agree all three, but someone else doesn't. This person, who hasn't found it necessary to explain his opinion in this discussion, keeps putting the nickname chapter in first place. Or is it possible that we are fighting against a bot? I don't think, since it appears that the reverse was somehow camouflaged, because from the description lines in view history I can't seem to find it. However that may be, now we have the curious situation that this secondary information shows up twice in first place, not only in the current text as chapter one, but also in the info box on the right. If we are unable to keep the chapter in the position we agree upon, I propose to eliminate it and put the text in a footnote refering to the info box. I'll wait a few days for your opinion and then I will eventually proceed in this sense.--Hyphantes (talk) 22:28, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

As a footnote, please notice what the DFB now uses as the team name at http://www.dfb.de/die-nationalmannschaft/team/?no_cache=1 : "Die Nationalmannschaft" Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:37, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

 * You are right, but only for the English page. On the German page there is no trace of it, neither could be, because as a technical term it would be a source of misunderstandings. If you saw it, it has been removed. The English page has the "nickname" here http://www.dfb.de/en/national-teams/ and here http://www.dfb.de/en/national-teams/the-mannschaft/ --Hyphantes (talk) 18:20, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Not only am I right, you are wrong. That is the German page. Check the menu when you get there: News, Mannshchaften, Sportliche Leitung, etc. The Sub menu similarly: Sportliche Leitung, Team hinter dem Team, Unsere Welt. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:56, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * That's what I did and I can't find a single example where it says "die Mannschaft" except the two English pages where it says "the Mannschaft". --- Oh sorry, now I got it! You say they use "die Nationalmannschaft". Well that's obvious and needs no comment. We've done that for sixty years. Sorry for the misunderstanding, my fault. You are right and I perfectly agree that it's "die Nationalmannschaft". Even better, because more precise, would be "die Nationalelf". The DFB however has no need to specify that, because it's clear that they are always talking about football/soccer. It's THEIR national team. When one of the DHBs uses "die Nationalmannschaft" it's clear that they are talking about the handball or hockey team. Thus a football paper/page will tend to use "die Nationalmannschaft", while a general (sports) paper/page will more often specify "die Nationalelf" to avoid confusion with other sports. --Hyphantes (talk) 10:48, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

In 2015 the DFB made "Die Mannschaft" the official nickname. This should end the discussion. Despite Germans won't refer to the team using "Die Mannschaft", because it's too unspecific, the DFB acknowledges the fact that at least the English language used and uses this name, either regularly or occassionally, or in much different words, because marketing. A reference in German: https://www.sport1.de/fussball/dfb-team/2015/06/die-mannschaft-dfb-stellt-neues-logo-fuer-nationalmannschaft-vor -94.220.211.108 (talk) 22:57, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

"In 2015 the DFB made "Die Mannschaft" the official nickname. This should end the discussion." That is just some top-down marketing BS perpetrated by Bierhoff which of course no fan ever accepted. What's the point of an official nickname if no one (apart from some English journalists) ever uses it? The Nationalmannschaft simply has no proper nickname that is widely used among fans. DFB-Elf, Nationalelf or Nationalmannschaft are too descriptive to be deemed a nickname anyway. Unlike "Les Bleus" or "Squadra Azzura".--2003:CC:8706:B200:BC44:69CF:4B15:BFF7 (talk) 22:38, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

First WC winner as player and coach??
Article says:

"Beckenbauer, who won the World Cup as the national team's captain in 1974, thus became the first person to win the World Cup as both captain and coach.[36]"

Two problems:

1) Link to FIFA website is broken (404 error).

2) Mário Zagallo actually was the first person to achieve this (player: 1958, coach: 1970 ... also assistant coach: 1994, just sayin')

179.24.104.241 (talk) 22:05, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Olympic Title of 1976
Should not the Olympic Titel of 1976 be added to the list of honours? As the East-Germany Football association is now a part of the current National Team, the east Germans also playing for the DFB, it would be logical. Also there is the following quotation at the beginning of the article: "Both have been absorbed along with their records[8][9]"
 * Apparently their records did not come with them. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:55, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Matches of 2014
I deleted that match vs. Iran in the section "Result & Fixtures 2014" and someone reverted my changes, though I do not understand why.

There is no official International Friendly taking place on December 19th. The last game of the German national team in 2014 is the one against Spain on November 18th. After that there are no matches scheduled for four months - the next game of the German team after that Friendly vs. Spain is one Friendly vs. Israel on March 25th, 2015.

Error confusing wording in opening paragraph
in the opening paragraph it says something along the lines that Germany (or as it is called in Germany, the Nationalelf) has participated in every world cup it was allowed to qualify. Well... this ain't true. In 1930 Germany was allowed to participate but didn't (costs, Uruguay to out of the way, Economic and political crisis, and general meh attitude of European teáms toward the tournament). Either you re-word that in some way or this erroneous information shall be expunged from this here articleHobbitschuster (talk) 17:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Germany men's national football team?
Just a question. Why is this article (and other articles about men's national football teams) only called "Germany national football team", instead of "Germany men's national football team"? As I see it, there are two German national football teams: the men's national football team and the women's national football team. The article about Germany men's national ice hockey team is called "Germany men's national ice hockey team". I can not see why football should be different, but I guess FIFA has something to do with it. Best regards /Erik EriFr (talk) 08:12, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

 * I support your Observation.There should be a separate article of Germany Men's Football Team like there is an article of Germany Women's Football Team.The Article Germany National Football Team should include the important information from both the Men National Team and the Women National Team.-- Param Mudgal talk? 18:22, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

 * I agree with you, and, however this isn't only the case with the German national football teams, but with basically all of them worldwide, with the single exception of the U.S. teams. I think, the main article should be something like National football teams of Germany, providing an overview about all of the teams: men's, women's, Olympic, juniors' etc. In the specific case of Germany, it should also provide a better and more balanced overview about the former West German and East German national teams. --PanchoS (talk) 00:25, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Tank you! I did not realize I had received any replies. I forgot this, but then I saw this and got reminded: Ice hockey at the 2018 Winter Olympics. This could serve as a good example. As you can see, first there is a general article about Ice Hockey at the Winter Olympics, and then articles about the Men's tournament and the Women's tournament. I do not at this point suggest a general article about the "National football team", but I suggest that the article about the Men's national football team, is named "Men's". I can not find any reason why the article about the Men's National football team is named just "National football team". That naming just looks a little stupid to me. Kindest regards /EriFr (talk) 10:02, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I would like to add that I agree with you that there should be a general article about the National football teams. The case with Germany is a good example. Such article would, as PanchoS points out, give a good overview.  Kindest /EriFr (talk) 10:20, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Unnecessary, such information could be included on an article such as Football in Germany. As for the article title, it is the WP:COMMONNAME. S.A. Julio (talk) 11:14, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * S.A. Julio Thank you, you are most probably right about WP:COMMONNAME. However, I see that articles about men's national ice hockey teams are consistently named "Men's national ice hockey team", as an example Russia men's national ice hockey team. I seriously doubt that all of these teams are commonly known as "Men's national ice hockey teams" (except during the Winter Olympics every fourth year, where a men's tournament and a women's tournament run parallel). I found this interesting discussion: Wikipedia talk:Article titles/Archive 53. /EriFr (talk) 19:24, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

ELO
What happened to the Elo-ranking?

 * I don't understand your question, but I have issues with this "Germany earned the highest ELO rating of any national football team in history, with a record 2,205 points.". It's referencing an article from 2014, but it seems like ELO recalculated it's numbers, probably by adding more data. As a result Germany peaks only second best with 2,223 points at 2014-07-13 behind Hungary with 2,231 points at 1954-06-30. Just check the graph on ELO's website https://www.eloratings.net/graph

'90 world cup
this article mentions fuck all about that one. literally the only thing is "After West Germany's 1990 World Cup win, assistant Berti Vogts took over as the national team coach from the retiring Beckenbauer." winning a world cup is a BIT more noteable than being mentioned like some sort of sidenote. --92.216.208.125 (talk) 01:14, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

"West Germany"
"The text you are adding is unsourced. The source at the end of that paragraph clearly says the name West Germany and does not make a distinction of "in international media", that is your original research and I suggest you stop with it, take it to talk!" SheriffIsInTown - And I suggest you to use your brain and read. In the first lines of the article it already stands that "The official name and code "Germany FR (FRG)" was shortened to "Germany (GER)" following the reunification in 1990." The "source" is just an unofficial list which makes no point about the official name of the team. --Ickerbocker (talk) 10:29, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Home and away, versus first and second kits
Anon made an edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Germany_national_football_team&diff=798274595&oldid=798207057 removing "home" and "away" in the kit history section and instead using first and second kits.

reverted: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Germany_national_football_team&diff=798275119&oldid=798274595 stating that home and away is "more understandable as home / away to new readers".

No Olympic Games for German men
Hello Walter, Look history of the articles, sources were already here when the sentence say another thing. In July 2017, the sentence is "after the 2017 Confederations Cup it became one of the only four nations - alongside Brazil, Argentina and France - to win all full senior international major titles: FIFA World Cup, Confederations Cup and the applicable continental tournament". After, open sources, the sources allow to say "to have won both the men's and women's World Cups" (precedent sentence) but in source 13 : in side of "other titles", there is a link "Association Information". The new page say : "Other FIFA Titles FIFA Confederations Cup 2017, FIFA Women's World Cup Final 2003 - 2007, FIFA U-20 World Cup Final 1981, FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Final 2004 - 2010 - 2014, Olympic Football Tournament Women Final 2016". No Olympic Football Tournament Men Final. Only, next sentence : "Runners-Up: [...] Olympic Football Tournament Final 2016" ;-)

 * my understanding Yes, it's YOUR understanding, it's not the information of the sources. And only information of the sources is important. The German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball-Bund) is the same federation than the federation of West Germany before 1990 ; The East German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball-Verband der DDR was dissolved in 1990.

 * Sorry. I meant it was a U-23 competition and not recognized for the senior men's team. It's not really a U-23 competition, actually every player of German team is eligible for playing in Olympic team, there is just quota between players U-23 and older players (3 older players maximum by team). In addition, the regulation of football teams at the Olympic Games has changed several times and the last rule on ages is recent (since 1992) compared to the history of football at the Olympics (since 1900).

Have you informed the FOOTY project about this revert? 1- It's you that don't respect sources, not me (Five pillars). 2- No need to ping you? but you are the contributor that revert me. If I convince you, who for revert me? An other person who don't respect sources? GabrieL (talk) 09:07, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Not my job. You removed the content. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:12, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not your job to revert a correct modification:
 * 1- The content is wrong
 * 2- and the associated sources say the opposite.
 * 3- When the sentence was written with this sources, the sentence didn't say that but "after the 2017 Confederations Cup it became one of the only four nations - alongside Brazil, Argentina and France - to win all full senior international major titles: FIFA World Cup, Confederations Cup and the applicable continental tournament". No olympic tournament in this sentence.
 * 4- Moreover, the sources do not say either that it is the fourth nation but only German team won this three tournaments. For the four nations, we only know by cross-checking with other articles or personal knowledge.
 * 5- According to Manual of Style/Lead section, "The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents." this content is not even developed in the body of the article.
 * This is a lot of flaws that justifies the deletion of this sentence. GabrieL (talk) 10:24, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * So the only flaw is in your logic and it breaks down at item 1. You wrote that the content is wrong, but the actual statement should have been that you claim it's wrong. Take it to FOOTY. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:57, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It isn't my logic, it's the SOURCES. Our work in Wikipedia must use the sources (Five pillars), it's yet the same pillars in French and English Wikipedias !!

 * Winning Olympic gold isn't not listed on FIFA here: though it is for other countries going back to at least the 1920s. It also appears based on the diff the statistic on the French encyclopedia page is WP:OR, which is where the confusion comes from. SportingFlyer  talk  06:19, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Good observation. FIFA lists the Olympics under "Other FIFA titels" for Brazil, Argentina and France but not for Germany. West Germany and post-unification Germany are generally considered as different periods of the Federal Republic of German and, rightly or wrongly, their sporting achievements generally get combined, with East Germany considered a separate entity.

Current Squad
In the current squad section, I made some edit stating that Julian Brandt and Nico Schulz both play for Borussia Dortmund. Why have they been reverted ? Bonecruncher (talk) 07:16, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Because the transfers will not take effect until 1 July. Granted, the next match is not after the transfer date, but the note states "The following players were selected for the Euro 2020 qualifiying games against Belarus and Estonia on 8 and 11 June 2019" and so should reflect that, not next match.

Ambiguous status in "Goalscorers" section
I'm sorry to discuss the goalscorers section since March 2019, but I think it's very important to inform the people about this issue. I see the rule that the bolded name denotes available player for selection, but no players on the list meet this rule (most of them had retired, though). Thomas Müller hasn't announced retirement, but people think he has (this also applies to Boateng and Hummels). None of them are included in the recent call-up section. We need a decision to be applied (at least until July 2020, without any announcements). Should we keep the formatting just like in November 2018 or we need to unbold his name without adding "possible" end year? Thanks for the reply anyway.  Rizhmd21    Talk   14:46, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Until the player announces their retirement, it makes no sense to prematurely create an untruth in the table. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:45, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * So, your reply indicates that we should keep the current formatting until the player officially retires. Thanks for your explanation.  Rizhmd21     Talk   20:48, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Results and fixtures
Pinging : The results and fixtures sections usually have a general rule to retain the results from the previous year, in addition to all future fixtures. Though the results and future fixtures can be found on other articles, it is useful to readers to find the most recent matches on the main national team article. Retaining the results of the previous year provides a consistent approach, otherwise when should they be removed, on 1 January? Readers would still expect to find the recent results. This general rule is also followed at articles such as Argentina national football team, Brazil national football team, Italy national football team, Mexico national football team, France national football team, Croatia national football team, etc. If you disagree it would be better to have a wider discussion at WikiProject Football over the matter. S.A. Julio (talk) 23:29, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I have not made an exhaustive search, but the national team articles for Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Italy, France, Spain, England, Hungary, Sweden, United States and Canada all have the current year and the one previous year. While there is not formal rule, it certainly seems as though it's standard practice. If you want a formal rule, however, you might want to take it up by starting a new discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football or another public location as your rule would affect many other articles. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:35, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Current title is grammatically wrong
The current title is grammatically wrong in English, and this is the English Wikipedia.

Why isn't this titled German national football team? That is grammatically proper. The only discussion (one single comment using an "other things" argument) of the 2011 move to this title that I can find is this one: Talk:Germany national football team/Archive 2. Have there been other discussions? -- BullRangifer (talk) 15:58, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * All team articles are "{nation} national {localized name of sport} team" and some include the gender. So it is not not the English national football team, but rather England national football team, American men's national soccer team but United States men's national soccer team. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:28, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * BR'r, you do not get it. You are stuck on what is something to be titled or expressed rather than how is something expressed in its origins. In effect you are advocating that those that originate something have no right to how it is expressed if that is not expressible in the language of a people that originate something. The downfall of your suggestion is that English itself has how many exceptions in it? So it is okay for English to use these exceptions but it is not relevent to use exceptions when it comes to a national team title from the very people that originated it? This is as if how a nation using its own language for something they developed. What, has WP reached its limit as to how things are expressed should be not the language of origin but the way another people express it in their own language. I say we should start to list people's name not by the style used back home but what can gain an acceptability such as the "last names" of people from say Spanish speaking countries No more "Lopez Cantu" If it needs to be in WP then it will need to be phrased Cantu Lopez.2603:8000:D300:D0F:CD09:69D4:A998:CC11 (talk) 02:23, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

I noticed that it was a little confusing somebody should do something about it and all the other national football team titles. Zlatan markaçşi (talk) 16:25, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * They are correct though. This would be come confusing because German is an adjective describing both the nation and the language so "Germany" is more clear. There are national teams that do not field players born in the nation and so they represent that nation and the players are not correctly described. If you want this changed take it up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football or possibly a village pump location. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:36, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

@ Walter görlitz it could be renamed the football team of german y Zlatan markaçşi (talk) 09:07, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Germany Zlatan markaçşi (talk) 09:07, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It could be renamed a lot of things, but take it to a place where it consensus can be reached about all articles, not just this one. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:15, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Article titles should be as they are represented in an organizations charter rather than just translating something then apply English grammar rules to it thus changing wht is the name of a non-English country. We generally do not call US examples as American because it is the "United States of America" and truncated to United States. We do not call those organizations within the USA as United Statesian. The Mexico National Football Team is a very good example that when you change a word(s) from its original language to something that visually looks better than grammatically correct. The word Mexico in Spanish is pronounced Meh-he-co which is gender neutral and i used to distinguish the nation from the nationality. Meh-he-caahn-o/a the title would be reflected as such in its original documentation but it is not. It is not WP's to tell another nation what it should be calling a native organization just because it does not fit English grammar. When I start to make suggestions as to what a title should be I review what is in the native language article.If what the English version is not reflected adequately in the translation. This is supported by the many nations their title being used in WP. Italy not Italian, France not French, India not Indian, Australia not Australian, etc. For some people the transition will be difficult because they may have the tendency to be very conservative in this issue and not so keen to let English disappear from the face of the earth I hope that covers why users of Aerican English nd those of Britain British English do not need to consult decades of pperwork detailing how did . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8000:D300:D0F:CD09:69D4:A998:CC11 (talk) 23:43, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Germany is a nation; German is a nationality or ethnicity
Usually national teams get their name from its legal documentation usually including reference to that team's via a translation of the name into English. German is not a nation but a nationality or ethnicity. Usually national team's names do not translate into nationality or ethnicity. If the source of a name or title is based on legal documentation. Even wen the name or title of the team is truncated it goes with the nation concept not nationality or ethnicity. In many countries it is not even necessary to be a "green card resident" or citizen to be on that country's national team so that just reinforces that these "grammatical" approaches to what to call national teams incorrect. Example: The national team of Mexico is not correct in English to call it Mexican national team. It is Mexico or " Meh-he-co not Mexicano or Mexicana. United States national team is not United Statesian, not even American, Its United States. But I realize many in WP are attached to wanting to change nationalities and ethnicies to the "ian" etc to make it look "grammatically" correct when the official title is always correct.2603:8000:D300:D0F:CD09:69D4:A998:CC11 (talk) 20:36, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Why "men's" dont exist in some sports as do "women's"
It took only 20 years to change the opinion of "proper" grammar and literal translation of titles in languags other than English. I am glad I took the chance on bringing it up years ago. But work on Germany will take a while because there are far nore layers there to describe. Why "men's" is far less prevlent than "women's" is probably an attept to not flood the system with corrections and peolpe holding out that "German" is just as good as Germany, the later the word for nation. But to know you are on the right track all you need to do to better understand if something needs to be done about a particular country has to be redone is what does the original documented words tell you.2603:8000:D300:D0F:CD09:69D4:A998:CC11 (talk) 15:14, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Neuer's goal
Under Germany_national_football_team, the table lists Manuel Neuer as having 0 goals, and above that it says "As of 1 December 2022". But Neuer scored an own goal against Costa Rica last night, doesn't that count as a goal for him? Or do we only count "proper" goals? —Mahāgaja · talk 09:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry but is this serious? If yes then sorry, but we only count goals scored and no own goals. Kante4 (talk) 12:50, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Yes, it was a serious question. After all, his name is listed in the game statistics as the person who scored the goal, so it's not unreasonable to expect that to be reflected in the table. —Mahāgaja · talk 12:54, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it is clear that own goals are not reflected there, as it says goals scored and an own goal is completely different, so i was/am confused about that question but all good. Kante4 (talk) 15:01, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

SS Europa (1928)

SS Europa, later SS Liberté IMO 5607332, was a German ocean liner built for the Norddeutsche Lloyd line (NDL) to work the transatlantic sea route. Launched in 1928, she and her sister ship, SS Bremen (1928), were the two most advanced, high-speed steam turbine ocean vessels in their day, with both earning the Blue Riband.

After World War II French line Compagnie Générale Transatlantique was awarded the Europa as a war prize to replace the destroyed SS Normandie, which had caught fire and capsized at her moorings while interned by the United States in New York City. Europa was refitted at Le Havre and rechristened the Liberté, serving until the arrival of the SS France (1961) in 1961 as the premier liner in the Compagnie's fleet. She was laid up in 1962 and scrapped at La Spezia, Italy, in 1963.

Construction
Europa was built in 1928 with her sister ship SS Bremen (1928) to be the second 50,000–gross ton North German Lloyd liner. They both were powered with advanced high-speed steam turbine engines and and a low streamlined profile.

Europa and her slightly larger sister ship were designed to have a cruising speed of 27.5 knots, allowing an Atlantic crossing time of 5 days. This enabled Norddeutsche Lloyd to run regular weekly crossings with two ships, an operation that previously required three.

The launching of Europa took place at Blohm & Voss shipyard, Hamburg on Wednesday, August 15, 1928. Europa was intended to be completed in spring 1929. However, on the morning of 26 March 1929, a fire broke out while still at the equipment dock. The fire raged all day long and it was not until the evening when the fire was under control. The ship's turbines were damaged heavily and also the remainder of the ship had been significantly damaged. After long discussions between builder and shipping company, it was decided to repair the ship. Within eleven months the ship was finished and completed on February 22, 1930. The cause of the fire has never been clearly identified.

Blue Riband
Europa made her maiden voyage to New York on 19 March 1930 taking the westbound Blue Riband from SS Bremen (1928) with the average speed of 27.91 knots and a crossing time of 4 days, 17 hours and 6 minutes. During the voyage many of her passengers were disturbed by the soot coming out of Europa's low funnels. The problem was corrected by raising the funnels by 15 feet, though decreasing her low profile. After they were raised, there were no more complaints. She held the Riband until Bremen recaptured it in June 1933.

Aircraft

Like Bremen, Europa had a small seaplane launched from a catapult on her upper deck between the funnels. The airplane flew from the ship to a landing at the seaplane port in Blexen.

The catapult was removed from both Bremen and Europa after a few years of service.

World War II

Europa was inactive for most of World War II. There were plans to use her as a transport in Operation Sea Lion, the intended invasion of Great Britain, and later conversion to an aircraft carrier. None of these plans came to pass, and in 1945, she was captured by the Allies and used as a troopship, sailing as the USS Europa (AP-177). The US Navy ensign who was handed the German captain’s pistol as the sign of surrender was a 28 year old surnamed Dolin. The United States claimed the ship as a war prize on 8 May 1945 and gave the vessel to the US Navy, which commissioned Europa 25 August 1945. Europa cleared Bremerhaven on 11 September 1945 for Southampton, England, where she loaded 4,500 homeward-bound American troops, arriving in New York City on 24 September. After alteration to increase her troop-carrying capacity, she made two voyages to Southampton to bring US servicemen home to the United States. She sailed from New York once more, on 15 March 1946, bound for Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands, and Bremerhaven, where she moored on 24 March.

Europa suffered from small fires caused by the removal of the ship's original high-quality fittings and installation of inferior replacements to compensate for material shortages in the war effort. Also, several serious hull cracks were discovered. The vessel was decommissioned on 2 May 1946 and delivered to the State Department on 8 June 1946. She was later transferred to France in partial payment of war reparations.

French Line

After World War II French line Compagnie Générale Transatlantique was awarded Europa as a war prize to replace the destroyed SS Normandie, which had caught fire and capsized at her moorings while interned by the United States in New York City. Europa was taken to Le Havre for refitting – which proved fraught with difficulties. On December 8, 1946, a storm caused her to break free from her moorings and she collided with the wreck of SS Paris (1916), causing significant damage to her hull. She was raised in April 1947 and towed to the Ateliers et Chantiers de Saint-Nazaire Penhoët shipyard in Saint-Nazaire to complete her refitting.

Mighty Jack

Mighty Jack (マイティジャック) is a tokusatsu science fiction/espionage/action TV series. Created by Japanese effects wizard Eiji Tsuburaya, the show was produced by Tsuburaya Productions and was broadcast on Fuji TV from April 6, 1968 to June 29, 1968, with a total of 13 one-hour episodes. The music for the episodes was done by Isao Tomita and Kunio Miyauchi.

Reportedly, Eiji Tsuburaya considered this series his masterwork because the focus was on the people, rather than on the vehicles and special effects (the show never had any monsters or aliens, as his more famous shows Ultra Q, Ultraman and Ultra Seven did). This focus on the people was similar to the works of Gerry Anderson, of which Tsuburaya was a big fan. The Mighty Jack mecha/HQ featured in this series also has some similarities to Tsuburaya's previous TV masterpiece, Ultra Seven.

Even for the original series of 13 one hour-long episodes, the ratings were low. The follow-up series, ''Fight! Mighty Jack'', fared better in the ratings, perhaps because of its inclusion of monsters and aliens, rather than purely human evildoers like Q.

The insignia of the titular heroic spy team has also become the current logo for Tsuburaya Productions.

Plot
"Mighty Jack" is the name of both a top-secret international peacekeeping organization's 11 agents, and the technologically advanced flying submarine "Mighty-Gō" they use to fight the plots of the terrorist organization "Q".

Fight! Mighty Jack
The more comical sequel series, Fight! Mighty Jack (戦え！マイティジャック), aired on the same network from July 6 to December 28, 1968, with a total of 26 half-hour episodes, equaling the original in length.

This series has several humorous references to the early Ultra Series.

 * The opening scene of the series (with a reverse paint-swirling effect forming "MJ" before a burst of red envelops the scene, with a yellow "Fight! Mighty Jack" superimposed) is almost exactly like that of Ultraman.
 * One episode of this series is quite notable, as it features a comical guest appearance by Kohji Moritsugu, who played Dan Moroboshi, the alter-ego of Ultra Seven, poking fun at his popular role. He plays a mechanic, who, in one scene, looked as though he was about to transform into Ultra Seven by pulling the Ultra Eye from his pocket to put it on, but the red object he slowly pulls from his pocket is actually a small wrench, with which he gets right to work on fixing a machine.

Mighty Jack in the U.S.
In 1986, American producer Sandy Frank took the first and sixth episodes of Mighty Jack (without any of the episodes that were released in between or afterward) and combined them into a dubbed feature-length film of the same name. The movie gained its widest exposure in the United States when it was shown as a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode on Comedy Central (originally shown on the UHF station KTMA TV 23 during the show's KTMA season).

South Granville, Vancouver

Established in 1997, South Granville (or less commonly "Uptown") is an upscale Business Improvement Area (BIA) and neighbourhood south of Vancouver's downtown core, centred along Granville Street and bordered by the neighbourhoods of Kitsilano, Fairview and Shaughnessy.

Separated from Downtown by False Creek, the area runs along Granville Street from the south side of the Granville Street Bridge up to 16th Ave, where storefronts are replaced by the residences and hedges of Shaughnessy.

1907 has been decided as the unofficial birth year of the neighbourhood. In that year Richard Marpole drew up plans for Shaughnessy Heights, the Canadian Pacific Railway's newest subdivision south of 16th Ave, pitched as an alternative to the then-upscale West End ("Blueblood Alley"). This is now known as "First Shaughnessy", or simply Shaughnessy. That same year, what was once Centre Street was given its present name, Granville Street, as the portion north of the bridge already bore that name. In 2007, the South Granville BIA commemorated the neighbourhood's centennial by encasing a state-of-the-art, stainless steel time capsule in concrete and stone under the entrance of the historic Stanley Theatre.

As well as being a fast-growing neighbourhood of residences, shops and restaurants, South Granville is home to a vibrant arts and culture scene. The neighbourhood contains a strip, between Broadway and the foot of the Granville Bridge, known as "Gallery Row" which is home to a number of art galleries: Bau-Xi Gallery, Douglas Reynolds Gallery, Ian Tan Gallery, Petley Jones Gallery, Uno Langmann. The South Granville Gallery Association (SGGA) represents the leading fine art galleries on Gallery Row. Further south, the neighbourhood is home to the historic Stanley Theatre, built in 1931. Once a popular cinema in its early days, the Stanley Theatre is now the stage of the Arts Club Theatre Company and the Industrial Alliance Stage.
