Why did you think that Hussain Sagar wasn't a structure? It's a "man-built" lake. So I figured it belonged in Category:Buildings and structures of India --Girish 03:37, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

Before you edit this page
Please note these points before you 'talk' to me:
 * Post the message on the top. (The normal tradition at Wikipedia is to post the message at the bottom. But I'm an eccentric person. It you have a good reason against this, please do tell me.)
 * Include the date you posted the message
 * Include your username if you want me to reply.
 * If you want the reply on your page, please specify. Otherwise, I'm going to reply on my page.
 * Be aware of the fact that I may delete your message, when its work is over.

Seeking you support
I am seeking your support and participation for starting the "Indian Collboration of the Week". Please enlist your support on the page Wikipedia_talk:Indian_wikipedians%27_notice_board if you would like to support. Please reply on my page. Thanks Arunram 08:23, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

North American Area Codes
I approve of what you have done to. I had done a little tidying there and you have continued the good work.

Do you think that List of North American area codes and List of California area codes should move to 'Level 0' of ?

I am currently fuming at the way the Americans have created lots of articles Area code xxx. As if the rest of the world did not have area codes (and as if there were no area codes for purposes other than telephony). Even though you and I (I suspect you are Indian) would both tend to call them STD codes. But I am inclined to let that pass - I have no intention of creating 800 or so articles about UK area codes.

If you reply, please do so on my talk page - top, bottom, middle as you wish. I have your page on my watch list but it's not so easy to see that what you were donig - unless of course you put something like 'for RHaworth' in the Edit summary. -- RHaworth 00:20, 2005 Jan 13 (UTC)

Category:Named passenger trains vs. Category:Amtrak passenger trains
Hi. I noticed you've recategorized the articles that include Amtrak train details into Category:Amtrak passenger trains. The only potential problem is that many of Amtrak's train names were used long before Amtrak existed (i.e. California Zephyr and Empire Builder). The information on the historic trains doesn't necessarily belong in a category devoted entirely to Amtrak operations. Do you propose splitting these articles into articles for each of the historic periods (i.e. Empire Builder (Great Northern) and Empire Builder (Amtrak))? What about trains that operated jointly over several railroads like the California Zephyr (which was a joint venture of the Western Pacific Railroad, Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad)? Or, do we create categories for every railroad's passenger trains like Category:Western Pacific Railroad passenger trains and Category:Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad passenger trains and then use multiple categories for articles like these two?

Your thoughts? slambo 18:51, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, I would go for renaming the Amtrak passenger trains to United States Named Passenger Trains. Alren 21:03, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * But then what about the trains that cross the Canadian border, like Maple Leaf? It travels between New York, NY and Toronto, ON.  Shall we do Category:Named passenger trains of the United States and Category:Named passenger trains of Canada?  Frankly, this solution is more appealing to me as we're already doing something similar with Category:Railway companies of the United States and Category:Railway companies of Canada.  slambo 21:38, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

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

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

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

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

Hi, there. I see that you have contributed to a large number of articles on Gujarat. Though I am not a Gujarati by birth, I have been born and brought up in Vadodara. So Gujarat occupies a special place in my heart.

I had tried editing the Gujarati people page several times. But each time, my edits were reverted.

I also think that the page needs a lot more content than it has at the moment.

I would earnestly request you to do something about this page. Regards. Rajatjghai 20:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

T. D. Mischke

Thomas David Mischke (born September 19, 1962) is an American writer, musician, podcaster, and former radio talk show host on WCCO NewsRadio 830 based in Minneapolis. He was formerly employed as a weekly columnist at City Pages, a Twin Cities alternative news, arts and entertainment publication. For 17 years he hosted The Mischke Broadcast on am1500 KSTP. His show featured quirky regular callers, stream of consciousness humor, and experts on any topic he found interesting. Since 1998, Mischke has been the winner of the "Best AM Radio Personality" award given by the local weekly alternative newspaper City Pages nine times.

Mischke hosted a daily webcast entitled In the Stream for City Pages from March 2009 until February 2010. He was most recently the host of The Nite Show weekdays from 10 PM to Midnight on WCCO Radio. He decided to retire from radio in the summer of 2013. His final show on WCCO was August 1.

In May 2014 Mischke launched "The Mischke Roadshow." The monthly podcast features interviews, music and comedy bits.

Early life
Mischke was born into a large Catholic family of six boys and two girls. He grew up in St. Paul's Macalester-Groveland neighborhood. After a stint at Cretin High School, he graduated from Highland Park Senior High.

Broadcasting career
In 1986–1987, Mischke was known as "The Phantom Caller" on Don Vogel's show, where he would randomly call in (without identifying himself) with tightly-written, sixty-second comedic bits. He so amused the radio personality that he was invited to become Don's sidekick on his show, Afternoon Saloon, on KSTP in 1992, during Vogel's second stint in the Twin Cities. After the stint as a sidekick, Mischke was given his own program on am1500 in January 1994. A feature of his Friday night show was an hour called "Misfit Friday", where rules were relaxed and callers were free to contribute in creative ways, such as "The Singing Bandit", who would call and sing short songs he had written, and then immediately hang up. One staple of Misfit Friday was a regular caller who Tommy dubbed "Psycho Ray" (a.k.a. Raymond Armstrong). Psycho Ray often hinted at stalking Tommy, giving only vague inferences as to his activities; conversations about his hobbies included knife sharpening, gun cleaning, and hanging out with his auto mechanic girlfriend "Jodi". Eventually, Ray was banned from calling in to the show by KSTP management for "firing a gun" on the air (revealed later to be just firecrackers), which resulted in an immediate storm of calls ranging from urging caution to ignoring Ray for being "all talk".

On December 15, 2004, Mischke released Whistle Stop, a collection of his music. He performed on fellow Twin Cities broadcaster Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion on the September 2, 2006 show.

On January 3, 2006, the Mischke Broadcast returned from the Christmas hiatus to a new timeslot and an altered format. The new hours, a late drive-time shift of 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, prompted the new format, the station banning many of the trademark Mischke bits including his prank 411 calls and the pockets of dead air that would occasionally fill large portions of his show. Mischke, in announcing the change, said, "the Mischke Broadcast, as you know it, is finished," though he assured listeners the move was a positive one for both him and KSTP.

Mischke released his second CD, "That Kind of Day" on December 4, 2008.

Mischke was abruptly fired by KSTP on December 5, 2008 for making a phone call on the air without first getting the recipient's permission, an FCC violation Mischke said he'd made before.

Mischke hosted a daily webcast for the weekly Twin Cities alternative newspaper City Pages. The show, entitled In the Stream, premiered on March 4, 2009. Mischke ended the webcast on February 4, 2010, but continued his weekly column for City Pages.

Mischke started a new radio show on May 10, 2010 10pm-Midnight, Mon-Thurs on WCCO 830 on the AM dial. On August 1, 2013, Mischke did his final radio show at WCCO.

Spending entirely too much time on the Esquire article, that's how things are going. :) I didn't have time to post this crazy suggestion, but how about the idea of a Wikimania cruise, so that we spend four days aboard a boat and we get to make stops at several places in the Mediterranean?

 * Nah, Raul654 spilled the beans on the mailing list it seems. As for the cruise, yes perhaps we could sail between Florida, and Central/South America. That way, we get to hit two different continents at the same time.

blocage
J'ai été bloqué sur la wikipédia francophone. Je suis 193.51.93.89. Lorsque je veux modifier, je ne peux pas, et il y a marqué que je dois contacter un administrateur. Mais comme je suis bloqué je ne peux pas contacter d'administrateur pour prendre ma défense et demander mon déblocage : on se rend alors compte de l'absurdité injuste qu'implique un blocage. Toutefois en cherchant longuement parmi les administrateurs de la wikipédia francophone quelqu'un qui avait des pages dans d'autres wikipédia que la wikipédia francophone, j'ai fini par te trouver.
 * mon problème

Le conflit est à propos de l'article Émeutes de 2005 dans les banlieues françaises. J'y ai mis des informations sur les manifestations à venir et sur des propos célèbres de Lilian Thuram. . Toutes ces informations ont été supprimées par des administrateurs qui les jugent non neutres. Pourtant ces informations sont vraies.
 * le conflit

Au sujet des manifestations, j'ai informé d'une manif de gauche, mais j'ai aussi informé de manifestations d'extrême droite. On m'accuse de vouloir faire de la promotion politique mais cela est profondément stupide car je ne peux pas être à la fois d'extrême droite et de gauche.

Au sujet des propos de Lilian Thuram, il s'agit là de propos célèbres qui ont été écrits dans les journaux et entendus à la radio.

Dans les deux cas on a exigé que je mentionne des sources, ce qui est un scandale. En effet ça ne devrait pas être une obligation de mentionner des sources sur wikipédia : wikipédia se veut d'être une source et non de répéter des sources. L'intérêt de Wikipédia c'est que comme elle regroupe les informations de tous, elle peut dépasser quantitativement n'importe quel journal ou encyclopédie. Exiger des sources fait perdre son intérêt à wikipédia.
 * sources

Mais admettons qu'il faille mentionner des sources :

D'abord je pense que quelqu'un qui veut censurer les informations devrait faire l'effort au préalable de faire des recherches. Ensuite je constate que beaucoup d'informations figurent dans l'article Émeutes de 2005 dans les banlieues françaises sans que soient mentionnées leurs sources. Je pose la question : pourquoi certaines informations nécessitent des sources et d'autres pas ?

Pire. Après qu'on ait exigé que je mentionne des sources, j'ai cédé et j'ai pris la peine de mentionner des sources. Malgré ça mes informations ont de nouveau été retirées. Tel un caprice, on m'a demandé de préciser encore les sources. J'ai voulu les préciser un peu plus mais j'ai été bloqué, comme si on voulait m'empêcher de préciser les sources.

Les administrateurs qui m'ont bloquée et qui ont censuré les informations que j'ai mises sont des gens partiaux et dangereux au bon développement de wikipédia. Je demande leur révocation.
 * conclusion

J'ai subi leur partialité. Je demande à être débloqué dans les plus brefs délais.

Merci de m'avoir lu. Merci d'une réponse rapide, claire et responsable.

Je dois partir travailler : je ne serais pas sur wikipédia avant ce soir.
 * Post-Scriptum

 * Merci de lire les pages suivantes : Citez vos sources et Wikipédia:Ce que Wikipédia n'est pas.
 * Donc 1)les demandes du/des administrateurs qui ont pris sur eux de vous bloquer ne sont pas des chimères, mais une application des règles. 2) Ils vous avaient avertis très clairement de ce qui se passerait si vous continuiez.
 * Je respecterai donc leur décision. N'hésitez pas à utiliser votre semaine de blocage pour parcourir les pages concernant la façon dont on doit éditer sur Wikipédia. Cordialement,notafish }<';> 15:49, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Donc si j'ai bien compris, on est passioné par le fait qu'il y ait eu 54 voitures brûlées tel jour et non pas 55, mais les propos chocs d'un membre du Haut Conseil de l'Intégration, on s'en fout. C'est brillant...
 * mes derniers propos

J'ai lu sur la page qui explique qu'il faut citer les sources : Quand des sources extérieures sont consultées pendant l'écriture ou au cours de la vérification d'un article, il apparaît indispensable de fournir une liste de références, livres, articles, ou sites internet. 1/Je prends note du fait que les sources ne doivent être mentionnées seulement lorsque les sources extérieures sont consultées pendant l'écriture ou au cours de la vérification d'un article (il n'est donc pas systématique de devoir mentionner des sources, heureusement pour wikipédia). 2/De toute façon j'ai mentionné mes sources, alors je ne comprends pas ce qu'on me reproche.

J'ai aussi lu ce que wikipédia n'est pas, et je me suis particulièrement intéressé à la partie "ne pas faire de promotion", puisque d'après ce que j'ai compris, c'est ce qu'on me reproche. J'y lis : Mais un article peut, bien sûr, rapporter objectivement ce que disent les promoteurs d'un sujet. L'article regorge de citations de Sarkozy et Cie, par contre, Lilian Thuram et les manifestations (qu'elles soient d'extrême droite ou de gauche) n'ont même pas le droit à 5 lignes.

J'insiste, il y a partialité de la part des administrateurs.

Au fait, puisque j'ai l'obligation de mentionner plus de sources mais que je ne peux pas mentionner plus de sources sur la wikipédia francophone, je vais mentionner deux sources supplémentaires ici même : une au sujet de Thuram et une au sujet de la manifestation.

Hi. I have sent an email to the Wikimedia Foundation board members to see about seeking the Foundation approval you mention in your talk page message to me. Please do not delete the image right away from Commons, as it is convenient to point them there to show them the image, and since it would presumably be illegal for me to host it on my own private web space. If they do not approve the derivative use then I won't object to the image being deleted. - Mark 03:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK
The case of WIkimedia UK is very particular, since they are *not* called "Wikimedia" in the first place, and have no ties whatsoever with the Foundation to start with. The Chapter committee is working on the appropriate agreements that will make Wikimedia UK a fully recognized chapter. notafish }<';> 14:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks for straightening that out with me. I had assumed British law made it impossible for them to name themselves after an existing organization, or something like that. But that makes a lot more sense. --  Zanimum 14:10, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Clarification of confirmation of permission
Hi, you posted a notice at Talk:Richard Whitney (artist) indicating that Richard Whitney had agreed to release his material under GFDL. However, User:Evrik he "sent an email allowing wikipedia to use the images." Did his email explicitly release these images under GFDL, or did he merely give permission to Wikipedia? I do not have access to the text of the email, and am hoping you do. --Jiang 22:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There is more about this here at the Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance). --evrik 23:31, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Dessert wine

A quick web search found all of these being called dessert wines. Do they merit inclusion here? Malaga, Madeira, Marsala, and the "vins doux naturels", Amarone, Recioto di Valpolicella Anjou moulleux, sweet Vouvray, Quarts du Chaume, Rochefort, and Bonnezeaux, Banyuls Khikhvi, Saamo, Salkhino Rmhermen 21:19, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC) As a general rule, keep the fortified stuff over in the fortified wines article, and the unfortified sweeties here - inevtiably there is some overlap, but it's best if this article concentrates on the unfortified wines. FlagSteward 01:19, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Interwiki links and fortified vs. unfortified
I am not sure whether we should have interwiki links here to it:Vino passito and fr:Vin liquoreux, or whether we ought to have a more specific article on unfortified dessert wines. I tend towards the latter: but what should we call it? And is anyone keen to write it? (Honestly I don’t have the knowledge to make anything more than a stub to go alongside this stub.) —Ian Spackman 11:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite

 * It badly needed it, as one of the prime 'gateways' to the wine articles on Wikipedia. I see a prime function of articles like this as maximising the number of 'signposts' to other classes of Wiki articles, whilst bearing in mind that it's aimed at casual readers who aren't interested in the minutiae - in any case, links to subsidiary articles are provided for those who are interested. I see this kind of article being more about breadth and diversity.
 * For instance, reading it back, I've barely mentioned the Loire and Alsace, source of some of my favourite wines. And I'm not very good on New World dessert wines.  But whatever your 'pet' wine is - even Sauternes only gets a few links in this article.  Since your 'pet' wine will not be more important than Sauternes when it comes to dessert wine (no really - it isn't ;-/), put your efforts into making a really good separate article on the 'pet' wine and then add a link  or two to this article.  Remember, this is an article that's meant to draw newbies in to the other wine material on Wikipedia, not give them d'Yquem as a first sip.....

 * It could do with a lot of citation referencing though :-)))

Fish paste

Fish paste is fish which has been chemically broken down by a fermentation process until it reaches the consistency of a soft creamy purée or paste. Alternatively it refers to cooked fish which has been physically broken down by pounding, grinding, pressing, mincing, blending, and/or sieving, until it reaches the consistency of paste. The term can be applied also to shellfish pastes, such as shrimp paste or crab paste.

Fish paste is used as a condiment or seasoning to add flavour to food, or in some cases to complement a dish. Generally, fish paste is reduced to a thick, rich concentrate, which has usually been cooked for a long time. It can be contrasted with fish sauce, which is like a fish paste except it is not cooked for so long, is a thick liquid rather than a concentrated paste, and may include seasonings and other flavorings.

History
"Preservation of marine products is of great importance to the coastal poor. Preserved fish products ensure adequate protein during low fishing periods. Subsistence fishers use their abundant catch of small fish to make fermented fish paste and smoked fish with the assistance of family members."

Sing Blue Silver

Sing Blue Silver is a documentary about Duran Duran's 1983–1984 world tour directed by Michael Collins. A sixty-minute edited version of the documentary was aired on MTV (and later other music channels) under the title Blue Silver.

Sing Blue Silver was originally released on videotape (in VHS and Betamax formats) and on LaserDisc, near the end of 1984. It was re-issued on DVD in April 2004. A 1984 book of the same name featured still photography by official tour photographer Denis O'Regan. The title comes from a verse from the song "The Chauffeur", released in 1982. It was certified gold by the RIAA (Billboard magazine week ending February 23, 1985).

Synopsis
Filmed at the height of their fame, Sing Blue Silver follows the band around Canada and the United States for three months from 30 January to 17 April 1984 as they toured in support of their Seven and the Ragged Tiger album around North America.

Primarily, Sing Blue Silver is about the job of making music, so live musical performances feature quite heavily throughout the video.

The documentary features many other standout moments, including a Francesco Scavullo photo shoot in New York, meeting a couple of L.A. Raiders players backstage, and a Beatles-style press conference tinged with a bit of comedy. It also captures the band in more candid moments, from backstage antics to trying to stay entertained on the journey between cities.

The film also documented the band's teen idol status, showing hordes of hysterical young—mainly female—fans attempting to cope with seeing their heroes in a live arena.

Live footage from this tour was later used for the Arena (An Absurd Notion) long-form video and the As the Lights Go Down concert video. The video for "The Reflex" was shot at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto on 5 March 1984.

Michael Collins left the tour after the first few weeks.

Total Science

Total Science is the stage name of drum and bass producers Jason Greenhalgh and Paul Smith.

The pair first met in 1987, both living on Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, England and brought together through a mutual love of hip hop. Distracted by the arrival of hardcore in the early nineties, the pair's record collecting was quickly followed by DJing, and eventually production. Greenhalgh launched his career under the moniker Q Project with "Freestyle Fanatic" in 1991. In 1994, the pair started recording together under the name Funky Technicians, with "You Gotta Believe" the first in a series of records which pushed the label away from the darkside movement and toward labels like Lucky Spin, Basement, and Good Looking. After six years of recording singles for others, the pair established the CIA label in the closing months of 1997 with the help of Brillo from Timeless Recordings. The release of their Silent Reign EP for Goldie's Metalheadz was another important release for the project, coming before a Bad Company remix of "Champion Sound" for their own label. Their debut album, Advance, was released in 2000, and featured downtempo experiments logged as a series of "Breaks" on the majority of their early EPs.

Ken Macintosh

Kenneth Donald Macintosh (born 15 January 1962) is a Scottish politician who served as the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament from 2016 to 2021. Elected as a member of Scottish Labour, he suspended his party membership on becoming Presiding Officer. Macintosh was a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) from 1999 to 2021, representing the Eastwood constituency from 1999 to 2016, and then the West Scotland region from 2016 to 2021.

Born in Inverness, Macintosh was employed between 1987 and 1999 as a television producer for the BBC, working on its news broadcasts and election coverage. He was first elected in the 1999 Scottish Parliament election as a Scottish Labour and Co-operative Party candidate, and retained his seat of Eastwood in the 2003, 2007 and the 2011 elections, but lost it in the 2016 election. In that election, he was returned on the regional list.

Family background and education
Kenneth Donald Macintosh was born on 15 January 1962 in Inverness. Macintosh was educated at the Portree and Oban primary schools before attending the state comprehensive Royal High School, Edinburgh. Both his parents were headteachers. His father, Dr Farquhar Macintosh CBE, was a Gaelic speaker from the Isle of Skye, a leading intellectual in Scottish education, rector of Royal High School and chair of the Scottish Examination Board. His mother, Margaret Macintosh, came from Peebles and was head of Drummond Community High and assistant head of Wester Hailes Education Centre.

Early career
After graduating from the University of Edinburgh with a History MA (Hons) in 1984, Macintosh became a television producer in 1987 for the BBC News Network. He also worked on Breakfast with Frost, Breakfast News, and the Nine O'Clock News. In addition, he also worked as a researcher on election programmes for both David Dimbleby and Jonathan Dimbleby.

Early parliamentary career
At the 1999 Scottish Parliament election, Macintosh won the Eastwood constituency with a majority of 2,125 votes.

In February 2002, Macintosh was appointed as a ministerial parliamentary aide to Minister for Education and Young People, Cathy Jamieson. He resigned from this role in September 2002 when he voted against the Labour–Liberal Democrat Coalition Scottish Executive over the closure of the A&E department at the Glasgow Victoria Infirmary.

Macintosh became Deputy Convenor on the Standards Committee but had to resign from this position in 2005 after it was revealed he had failed to declare £330 of hospitality from McDonald's within the required time.

In 2006 and 2007 Macintosh has proposed a Member's Bill to the Scottish Parliament providing for the tougher regulation of sunbed parlours, which passed successfully. Since his election in 1999 has been a member of the cross-party group on cancer. From February 2007 to April 2007, he was a ministerial parliamentary aide to First Minister Jack McConnell.

Macintosh was re-elected as MSP for Eastwood at the 2007 election with a narrow majority of 913, where he fought off a strong challenge from the Conservative Party's Jackson Carlaw. After the election, Macintosh was appointed Shadow Minister for Schools and Skills. He considered running for the 2008 Scottish Labour leadership election but pulled out and instead backed Andy Kerr's candidacy.

At the 2011 parliamentary election he once again defeated Jackson Carlaw with an increased majority of 2,012. The swing was 8.7% from Conservative to Labour. Macintosh had feared losing the constituency following boundary changes (with the removal of Barrhead, Neilston and Uplawmoor) which gave a notional Conservative majority of almost 3,500. After the party's loss to the SNP, Macintosh was made Shadow Culture and External Affairs Secretary. Only a week later, however, he took over the Shadow Education portfolio after MSP Malcolm Chisholm resigned over an internal party disagreement.

2011 and 2015 Scottish Labour Party leadership elections
Macintosh announced his candidacy in 2011 Scottish Labour leadership election. During a September 2011 BBC Scotland TV interview, Labour leader Ed Miliband was unable to recall Macintosh's name. After the interview, Miliband telephoned to apologise for his mistake and Macintosh tried to downplay the incident saying "I don't think anyone should read anything into it – half the time I can't even remember the names of my own kids." Macintosh officially launched his campaign at Cumbernauld College on 28 October. He described the 2011 election result as a "disaster" and said the party had been too negative: "We need to unite as a party and to start talking positively about our values, what Labour stands for and not just what we are against." He later also said he was a devolutionist, not a unionist. Despite lacking ministerial experience, he was widely seen as a frontrunner. Colleagues who endorsed his bid included his campaign manager Michael McMahon, Claire Baker, Mary Fee, Neil Bibby, Mark Griffin, Kezia Dugdale, Jenny Marra and East Renfrewshire MP Jim Murphy, with whom Macintosh shared his constituency office in Clarkston, East Renfrewshire. In the ensuing leadership election, Macintosh came second to MSP Johann Lamont.

Following Scottish Labour's near wipeout at the 2015 general election, Macintosh decided to stand again for the Scottish Labour leadership, triggered by the resignation of Jim Murphy. Macintosh faced a straight two-way contest with previous deputy leader Kezia Dugdale, who won the leadership.

Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament
At the 2016 Scottish Parliament election, Macintosh lost the Eastwood constituency, being pushed into third place behind the Conservatives' Jackson Carlaw and the Scottish National Party's Stewart Maxwell. However, Macintosh was returned as an additional member on Scottish Labour's West Scotland regional list.

On 12 May 2016, Macintosh was elected as Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament with 71 votes on the third round of voting by MSPs. He defeated Murdo Fraser, Johann Lamont, John Scott and Elaine Smith. He suspended his Scottish Labour Co-operative membership upon taking office, per the tradition of the presiding officer being strictly non-partisan.

In early November 2018, Macintosh created controversy when an MSP was sent out of the Holyrood chamber for wearing a rainbow tie in support of LGBTI rights and liberation. Alex Cole-Hamilton, Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP for Edinburgh Western, was told to change the garment by Macintosh during a debate on LGBTI-inclusive education in schools. Macintosh said it flouted rules against "ostentatious campaign material" in the chamber.

In September 2020, Macintosh announced that he would not stand for re-election at the 2021 Scottish Parliament election. In a letter to his constituents, he said: "After much reflection, I have decided not to seek re-election to the Scottish Parliament in May next year. It has been an honour to represent the people of East Renfrewshire and the West of Scotland for the last two decades and I would thank you for the trust you have placed in me."

Personal life
Macintosh and his wife Claire live in Busby, East Renfrewshire with their six children.

UK
Should Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland be added to this list? sjorford (talk)  10:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I do not think so as they are just standard sub-national entities. The entities that should be listed here are sub-national entities that has more/different/special powers than the standard sub-national entity of that country. The list here is incomplete and has some errors that should be corrected, but a criteria needs to be determined before editing should take place. Shocktm | Talk  | Contributions 00:33, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * They're not standard at all, that's precisely my point - all three have different levels of devolution from the UK government (and England has no devolution at all). I'm just not sure if they have the same sort of autonomy as the other places on this list. It seems to me this list currently is just a list of places with the word "autonomous" in their description, irresective of their actual status. sjorford (talk)  10:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I think they should be added. Ybgursey 01:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have substantial autonomy over devolved areas (both executive and legislative). They should qualify for this list for that reason. They are also not standard sub-national entities for the following two reasons; one constituent country (England) does not have devolved institutions and the standard sub-national entities of the UK are the Council Areas. I agree with Sjorford, just because they don't have the word "autonomous" in their name does not mean that they are not autonomous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dn9ahx (talk • contribs) 14:30, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Are but the question is, are they autonomous, I personally would argue not. I do not think there is any reference by the British Government to them being autonomous they are devolved, and that can be taken away by a simple act of parliament. Similarly if we are to do this then why not have all the regions of France. If they are never referred to as autonomous then why are they placed on a page entirely devoted to autonomous areas, despite the comment above. Could someone find a reference to the being autonomous after all we can not just decide if it is not correct. --Lemonade100 19:30, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires seem to simply be autonomous from the surrounding province, not from the country. It's like Washington, DC or Canberra, ACT, and therefore, despite its designation as "autonomous," it doesn't fit the bill for this list. Oz Lawyer  17:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Tokelau
Tokelau has 1,392 people and three autonomous regions according to this page. That makes four areas either geographically distinct from the country or populated by a national minority.

So has Tokelau got four separate and distinct cultures in less than 1 400 people or has it just got several islands? If an island makes an autonomous region, how many are there in Indonesia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Herne nz (talk • contribs) 06:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

A question on Native American reservations in the US
Does anyone know what the status of "Indian" / "Native American" (or what ever the correct term on wikipedia is) reservations in the United States is? Legaly (ie in reguards to legal matters) they are seperate from the States they are located in, but I don't know if they qualify as "Automonus". I know that the Iroquois Nation fields a Lacross team in international competition, and issue their own passports for limited use when traveling as a team (at times recognized as legit, at others not recognized).

Buenos Aires
Just because they use the word "autonomous" in the name does not mean that it belongs on this list. BA is neither "geographically distant from the country, or [...] populated by a national minority". And Buenos Aires suggests that BA's "autonomy is less than any province in the country". I can see no reason for the inclusion of BA here.--Pharos (talk) 20:12, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually, it should be there & as the link to the city says "Recent political history

So it is under the type of system used for governing itself. That-Vela-Fella (talk) 01:09, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * "Autonomous status" as applied to Buenos Aires just means a city-province (similar to the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen among the German Bundesländer), that in this case is actually less autonomous than the other provinces. It's certainly not an "autonomous area" by the definition of this list.--Pharos (talk) 01:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

This can be done easily and i will start the process - i strongly feel that we should only use a flag if it has some legal status or is in common use by the autonomous institutions themselves.

Status of Åland
I changed the placement of Åland (in the lists) based on following facts:
 * 1) 1856 Treaty of Paris guaranteed only demilitarization (original treaty page 27)
 * 2) 1920 Act on Autonomity of Åland, major revisions 1951 and 1993.
 * 3) October 20, 1921 League of Nations decisions about sovereignity of Finland over Åland as well as confirming (again) the 1856 treaty about demilitarization. This led to minor changes in the Act of Autonomity after Finland ratified it January 28, 1922.

Fact remains - based on historical documents - that autonomity was given by an Act of Finnish Parliament. There are no international agreements that formed it (although it was - at least indirectly - confirmed by them).--Nedergard (talk) 12:03, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I can see why Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are on this list but the Isle of Man? It isn't part of the UK so can't be a devolved region of the UK (but rather of the British Crown). If it is to be included because of its status as a Crown Dependency then the same would be true for Jersey and Guernsey but they're not listed.

She was very happy and proud to have finally received her Russian passport, but lives here in Australia. She said "What do people not understand about autonomous region? Crimea was an autonomous region." Which led me to ask what exactly is the definition of an autonomous area, which rights and duties do they have? Did Crimea's autonomous status allow them to have this (valid) referendum without permission from Kiev? Even if all autonomous areas have their own definitions and features, these things should be clarified one day. The land titles for Australian indiginous seem to be very close to autonomous status, whatever that might be in detail. 2001:8003:AD87:D400:4422:2C82:447B:A463 (talk) 05:01, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan
Recently, a couple of IPs have added Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan as autonomous areas in Pakistan. This is by no means certain. WP:RS either don't agree or hedge it by various means. For example: In the light of these sources, I don't think Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan can be named here as being "autonomous areas". -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:00, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Sumantra Bose: Azad Kashmir - "Free Kashmir," the more populated and nominally self-governing part of Pakistani-controlled Kashmir. Obviously, "nominally" means "only in name". Gilgit and Baltistan - remote and sparsely populated mountainous parts of Pakistani-controlled Kashmir directly governed by Islamabad as the "Northern Areas".
 * Human Rights Watch: In practice, the Pakistani government in Islamabad, the Pakistani army and the Pakistani intelligence services (Inter-Services Intelligence, ISI) control all aspects of political life in Azad Kashmir—though “Azad” means “free,” the residents of Azad Kashmir are anything but.
 * PILDAT review: Christopher Snedden, in an upcoming book, critically reexamines Azad Kashmir's internal politics by a survey of former administrative structures, economic and political systems, and subordinate relationship with Pakistan. He notes, contrary to expectations of the Azad Kashmiris' ruling entire J&K after reunification, Azad Kashmir effectively, if not legally, became a (dependent) part of Pakistan. Therefore, long disenchantment with Islamabad, some Azad Kashmiris now favor independence for Jammu and Kashmir and hope to prosper without help from their neighbors, he concludes.
 * Shabir Choudhary (a Kashmiri activist): Of course Azad Kashmir is not Azad or independent. It is a ‘colony’ of Pakistan, in which they have established a political set up that is more interested in promoting and protecting national interests of Pakistan than the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

U.K. sub-units but no others on this list?
I noticed that United Kingdom sub-regions (England, Scotland, etc.) are on this list, but not others. I understand that they have their own governments with granted powers, but so does basically every sub-region!

Here's a snippet from the Wiki article on devolution:

"Devolution differs from federalism in that the devolved powers of the subnational authority may be temporary and are reversible, ultimately residing in the central government. Thus, the state remains de jure unitary. Legislation creating devolved parliaments or assemblies can be repealed or amended by central government in the same way as any statute. In federal systems, by contrast, sub-unit government is guaranteed in the constitution, so the powers of the sub-units cannot be withdrawn unilaterally by the central government (i.e. without the consent of the sub-units being granted through the process of constitutional amendment). The sub-units therefore have a lower degree of protection under devolution than under federalism."

Basically ... Federated State >>> Devolution.

My understanding is that the U.K. sub-regions are much less autonomous than an entity like a U.S. State (California, Texas, etc.), since the areas of autonomy are specifically granted to them from above versus the powers being a constitutional right (as in the U.S. and other nations with federated states).

Stateside Records

Stateside Records, styled as $tateside Records, is a British record label, owned by Warner Music Group and operates through its Parlophone and Warner Records imprints. Upon creation, it initially released licensed American recordings and is now a reissue label.

History
It was formed in 1962 by EMI as a replacement for the Top Rank label (originally the Rank Organisation's label), which had folded. EMI hired former Top Rank label head Fred Oxon to run it and compete with Decca's London "American Recordings", and Pye's "Pye International" labels.

While Top Rank's British acts (such as John Leyton) were assigned to EMI's Columbia and HMV labels, Stateside continued to issue records from its American suppliers, including Amy, Bell, 20th Century Fox, Scepter, Vee-Jay and A&M, and acquired Tamla-Motown-Gordy from Oriole Records.

Its first hit was "Palisades Park" by Freddy Cannon, which was licensed from Swan Records. It was through EMI's relationship with Vee-Jay and Swan that pre-1964 recordings by the Beatles were released by those labels in the U.S. when EMI's American subsidiary Capitol turned them down.

Stateside's black label design, with a large '45' for singles and a coloured logo for albums, was the model for the new-look Columbia, Parlophone and HMV labels which were introduced the following year. In the late 1960s, when EMI set up long term licence contracts with US labels like Motown, Bell and Dot, it no longer needed Stateside, and the label was retired quietly in 1973, along with EMI's Columbia, HMV-POP, Regal Zonophone and Parlophone labels, in favour of the new EMI and EMI America labels. Stateside has retrospectively attracted interest from northern soul fans, mainly for its role in releasing American Motown recordings in the UK market. Stateside issued 45 of them, including the number 1 "Baby Love" in 1964, prior to the establishment of the UK Tamla Motown label.

In the 1980s, the Stateside label was revived as a catalogue reissue label, specialising in American recordings from Capitol Records and other labels EMI acquired over the years. The trademark is now owned by Parlophone Records Limited, as a consequence of the EU-mandated divestiture of some EMI Records assets to Warner Music Group. That forced the deletion of titles to which Capitol Records, now owned by Universal Music Group, had the rights. In the summer of 2017, Warner Music relaunched the Stateside label for classic jazz, soul and R&B releases.

Cordell Mosson

Cordell "Boogie" Mosson (born Cardell Mosson; October 16, 1952 – April 18, 2013) was an American bassist who was a member of Parliament-Funkadelic. He was given a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy in 2019.

Mosson was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, but grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey.

Biography
A good friend of Garry Shider, the two left Plainfield, New Jersey in their teens for Canada. They joined a band called United Soul, which came to the attention of George Clinton, who had known Shider as a youth in Plainfield. In 1971 Clinton produced several tracks by United Soul with input from members of Funkadelic. The songs "I Miss My Baby" and "Baby I Owe You Something Good" were released as a one-off single by Westbound Records in 1971 under the group name U.S. Music with Funkadelic. All the tracks recorded with Clinton in 1971 were released by Westbound in 2009 as the album U.S. Music With Funkadelic. After producing United Soul, Clinton then invited Mosson and Shider to join Parliament-Funkadelic. Two United Soul songs were rerecorded on later Funkadelic albums with Mosson as a member.

Mosson was a prominent contributor to albums by both Funkadelic and Parliament from 1972 until the dissolution of the two groups in the early 1980s, and was the featured on-stage bassist for Parliament-Funkadelic after Bootsy Collins went solo. While Collins is more widely remembered as the P-Funk bassist, Mosson's contributions were arguably more numerous and are well regarded by fans. Mosson also appeared in the movie PCU as himself, in 1994.

His name as spelled on his birth certificate is Cardell Mosson, and "Cordell" is his son's name, a common spelling in the notes for most of the Parliament-Funkadelic albums on which he appeared. Mosson is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 1997 with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. He was also honored by the Recording Academy with a Lifetime Achievement Award Grammy in 2019. His children and long time partner received the award on his behalf.

Mosson died of liver failure on April 18, 2013.

Zambia national football team

The Zambia national football team represents Zambia in association football and is governed by the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ). During the 1980s, they were known as the KK 11, after founding president Dr. Kenneth Kaunda ("KK") who ruled Zambia from 1964 to 1991. After the country adopted multiparty politics, the side was nicknamed Chipolopolo which means the "Copper Bullets". The team won an Africa Cup of Nations title in 2012. This team has also become the most successful team in the COSAFA Cup, surpassing Zimbabwe after winning the 2023 edition.

Zambian Air Force Flight 319
Tragedy struck the Zambian team when the military plane (REG: AF-319) transporting the team to Senegal for a 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifier crashed late in the evening, on April 27, 1993. Three stops were planned for re-fuelling, but at the first stop, in Brazzaville, engine problems were noted on the Buffalo DHC-5D of the Zambia Air Force. Despite this, the flight continued, and a few minutes after take-off from Libreville, Gabon, where the second stopover had taken place, one of the engines caught fire and stopped. The pilot, who had already made a flight from Mauritius the day before, accidentally shut down the other engine, which was still running. The loss of power, during the climb after take-off, caused the plane to fall and crash into the water 500m off the coast. All 30 passengers and crew, including 18 players, were killed in the accident.

1994–2012
On June 3, 1994, in Brussels, the Zambian football team succumbed to one of the worst losses in its history against Belgium, losing 9–0. At CAN 1996, they finished first in the group with two victories (5–1 against Burkina Faso, goals from Kenneth Malitoli, double from Kalusha Bwalya, goals from Dennis Lota and Johnson Bwalya); 4–0 against Sierra Leone (a hattrick from Kalusha Bwalya and goal from Mordon Malitoli) and a draw (0–0 against Algeria), beat Egypt (3–1) in the quarterfinals and loses in semis against Tunisia (2–4) but took third place over Ghana (1–0, goal from Johnson Bwalya). Kalusha Bwalya was the best in the competition with 5 goals. From 1998 to 2006, Zambia did not pass the first round, except in 2004 when they failed to qualify. On September 3, 2006, at home, Zambia achieved the biggest victory in its history against Djibouti, winning 10–0. During the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations, Zambia finished third in the group with a 3–0 victory against Sudan (goals by James Chamanga, Jacob Mulenga and Felix Katongo), a draw (1–1 against Egypt, goal from Chris Katongo) and loss (1–5 against Cameroon, goal from Chris Katongo). In 2010, Zambia finished first in her group and faced Nigeria in the quarter-finals where she lost on penalties. Jacob Mulenga and Emmanuel Mbola were included in the tournament's Best XI. In 2012, the best AFCON in Zambia history happened. During the tournament’s group stage, they defeated Senegal(2-1), drew with Libya (2-2), and defeated Equatorial Guinea (1-0), and qualified top of their group. During the knockout stage, Zambia defeated Sudan (3-0) in the Quarterfinals, beat Ghana in the semifinals (1-0) and went up against Ivory Coast in the final, where the won their first title, after defeating them in a dramatic Penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw after extra time.
