Remonstrants

The Remonstrants (or the Remonstrant Brotherhood) is a Protestant movement that split from the Dutch Reformed Church in the early 17th century. The early Remonstrants supported Jacobus Arminius, and after his death, continued to maintain his original views called Arminianism against the proponents of Calvinism. Condemned by the synod of Dort (1618–1619), the Remonstrants remained a small minority in the Netherlands. In the middle of the 19th century, the Remonstrant Brotherhood was influenced by the liberal Dutch theological movement.

Foundation
In formulating Arminianism, Jacobus Arminius disagreed with Calvin, especially on predestination. He defended free examination as superior to the doctrines of established churches.

In 1610, Arminius followers presented to the States of Holland and Friesland the Five Articles of Remonstrance formulating their points of disagreement with Calvinism as adopted by the Dutch Reformed Church. Supporters of Arminius were called "Remonstrants", but they were also called "Arminians".

Their adversaries, inspired by Franciscus Gomarus, became known as Gomarists or Counter-Remonstrants. Although the States-General issued an edict tolerating both parties and forbidding further dispute, the conflict continued and became linked to political conflicts in the Dutch Republic. The Remonstrants were assailed both by personal enemies and by the political weapons of Maurice of Orange. Their foremost ally, Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, was executed, and other leaders were imprisoned. In Amsterdam, as in various other cities, the city government was purged of Oldenbarnevelt supporters; Jacob Dircksz de Graeff and Cornelis Hooft fell victim to this action.

In 1618–1619 the Synod of Dordrecht, after expelling the thirteen Arminian pastors headed by Simon Episcopius, established the victory of the Calvinist school. It drew up ninety-three canonical rules, and confirmed the authority of the Belgic Confession and the Heidelberg Catechism. The judgement of the synod was enforced through the deposition and in some cases banishment of Remonstrant ministers. In this context, owing to the lack of preachers, there originated in Warmond a movement in favor of the lay sermon, the adherents of which founded the Society of Collegiants. An exile community of Remonstrants was founded in Antwerp in 1619. In 1621 they were allowed to settle in Schleswig, where they built the town of Friedrichstadt.

Institutionalization
The doctrine of the Remonstrants was embodied in 1621 in a Confession written by Episcopius, their major theologian. This Confession serves as a base for the Remonstrant church since his return to the Netherlands in 1626. It confirms the opinion of the remonstrants already expressed in 1618.

Jan Uytenbogaert gave to the Remonstrants a catechism and regulated their church order. Their seminary in Amsterdam had distinguished pupils, including Curcellaeus, Limborch, Wetstein, and Le Clerc. Their school of theology, which grew more liberal and even rationalistic, forcefully debated the official Dutch Reformed state church and other Christian denominations.

After the death of Maurice of Orange in 1625 some exiles returned. The government became convinced that they posed no danger to the state, and in 1630 they were formally allowed to reside again in all parts of the Republic. They were not, however, officially allowed to build churches until the establishment of the Batavian Republic in 1795. Until then they held their services in so-called Schuilkerken (house churches).

Liberalism
In the mid-19th century, the Remonstrant Brotherhood was influenced by liberalism, which in Holland was embodied by Petrus Hofstede de Groot (1802–1886). His theology had a wide audience in Europe, which is characteristic of the romantic phase of Christian humanism; in the Netherlands, this line of thought has been represented by the "theologians of Groningen" since 1830.

Early Remonstrants’ theological legacy
Most of the early Remonstrants followed classical Arminianism. However they are not the only Protestants who can be considered Arminian or who are called Arminians. Arminianism is a minority within the Reformed confession, but it really belongs to the larger, cross-denominational current of synergism, that is to say, historic, majority Christianity. As Arminianism, it made inroads into the Church of England. As a broader synergism, it appears in Methodism, the General Baptists, the Adventist Church, the Holiness movement, Pentecostalism, the Charismatic movement, and a number of other Protestant denominations.

The church
The Remonstrant Brotherhood continues as a church in the Netherlands. The Remonstrants first received official recognition in 1795. Their chief congregation has been in Rotterdam.

In 2016, the Remonstrant Brotherhood has about 5,000 members and "friends", in more than 40 congregations in the Netherlands, and one congregation in Friedrichstadt, in northern Germany (2008).

The Remonstrant Brotherhood of Holland keeps fellowship with the European Liberal Protestant Network. Besides it is a full, charter member of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches. It is also a member of the Communion of Protestant Churches in Europe.

In line with the progressive views on religion, Remonstrants have been blessing same-sex partnerships on an equal footing as different sex weddings from 1986 onwards (church weddings have no legal status in the Netherlands, where the legally acknowledged civil same-sex marriages became possible in 2001). In this the Remonstrants were the first Christian church in the world to bless same-sex relationships similar to other relations.

Remonstrants place big emphasis on personal faith and are not in agreement with one another on questions of faith and social issues. They consider that the message of the Gospel can not be separated from true choices in the struggle to live together, on the road to a world with peace and justice. What binds them is the Statement of Principle: The Remonstrant Church is a community of faith which, rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ, and true to its principle of freedom and tolerance, seeks to worship and serve God.

Confessions of faith
In addition to the Statement of Principle, most contemporary Remonstrants write their own declaration or profession of faith when they become a member of the community. The brotherhood did express at three times in their history the faith they share in a confessional statement, in 1621, 1940 and 2006. Remonstrants however, being a non-creedal denomination, consider no confession to have indisputable authority.

Samuel Johnson (pamphleteer)

Samuel Johnson (1649–1703) was an English clergyman and political writer, sometimes called "the Whig Johnson" to distinguish him from the author and lexicographer of the same name, who was a Tory in politics and lived after him. He is one of the best known pamphlet writers who developed Whig resistance theory.

Life

From a humble background, Samuel Johnson was educated at St. Paul's School and Trinity College, Cambridge, and took orders. He attacked James, Duke of York in Julian the Apostate (1682).

Johnson was illegally deprived of his orders, flogged, and imprisoned. He continued, however, his attacks on the Government by pamphlets, and did much to influence the public mind in favour of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Dryden gave him a place in Absalom and Achitophel as "Benjochanan". After the Revolution he was restored to his orders and received a pension, but considered himself insufficiently rewarded by a deanery, which he declined. He was married for many years and suffered from many illnesses.

The Julian tracts
Johnson's 1682 pamphlet Julian the Apostate was a reply to a sermon A Discourse of the Sovereign Power earlier the same year by George Hickes; it was printed by John Darby. With its sequels, it employed a technique of vilification by the use of parallels in classical literature. In 1683 he followed it with Julian's Arts, but the timing turned out badly, with the revelations of the Rye House Plot, and the pamphlet was held back.

Julian the Apostate met with seven published replies, as well as becoming the target of Oxford sermons. These included pamphlets from Hickes (Jovian), John Bennet (Constantius the Apostate), Edward Meredith, and Thomas Long. He was defended by William Atwood in A Letter of Remarks upon Jovian. William Sherlock backed up Jovian and passive obedience in Case of Resistance (1684).

Whig partisan

Johnson was chaplain to Lord William Russell, a Whig leader, from 1679. Russell directed Johnson's attention to constitutional theory. The result of Johnson's researches was posthumously published in 1769 as A History and Defence of Magna Charta; a second edition appeared in 1772. Russell was later caught up in the Rye House trials. Russell's final speech before his execution was printed, and Johnson, Darby, and Gilbert Burnet were questioned about their involvement in its publication.

Mount Ritter

Mount Ritter is the highest mountain in Madera County, California, in the Western United States, at an elevation of 13149 ft. It is also the highest and most prominent peak of its namesake, the Ritter Range, a subrange of the Sierra Nevada in the Ansel Adams Wilderness of the Inyo and Sierra National Forests. Mount Ritter is the 15th highest mountain peak in California with at least 500 meters of topographic prominence.

Geography
Mount Ritter is made of strikingly dark rock and is quite prominent due to its height and isolation. It is in the middle of the Ritter Range, which includes neighboring Banner Peak and the Minarets. The prominent and memorable shape of the Ritter–Banner pair is visible from high elevations far to the north and south in the Sierra Nevada.

Mount Ritter was named by Josiah Whitney, chief of the California Geological Survey, for Carl Ritter, who had been a teacher of his when he was a student in Berlin during the 1840s.

Charles Johnstone

Charles Johnstone (c. 1719–1800) was an Irish novelist. Prevented by deafness from practising at the Irish Bar, he went to India, where he was proprietor of a newspaper. He wrote one successful book, Chrysal, or the Adventures of a Guinea, a somewhat sombre satire.

Life
Born at Carrigogunnell, County Limerick about 1719, he was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, but is not known to have taken a degree. He was called to the bar, but extreme deafness prevented his practice except as a chamber lawyer, where he did not succeed. He began to write as a living.

In May 1782, Johnstone sailed for India, with a dangerous shipwreck on the voyage. He found employment in writing for the Bengal newspaper press, under the signature of "Oneiropolos". He became in time joint proprietor of a journal, and prospered. He died at Calcutta about 1800.

Works
Johnstone's major work, entitled Chrysal, or the Adventures of a Guinea, and frequently reprinted, appeared in 4 vols., London, 1760–65. The first and second volumes had been written during a visit to George Edgcumbe, 3rd Baron Edgcumbe in Devon. The book, a succès de scandale, claimed to reveal political secrets, and to expose the profligacy of well-known public characters.

Johnstone was also the author of:
 * The Reverie, or a Flight to the Paradise of Fools, 2 vols. London, 1762.
 * The History of Arsaces, Prince of Betlis, 2 vols. 1774.
 * The Pilgrim, or a Picture of Life, 2 vols. 1775.
 * History of John Juniper, Esq., alias Juniper Jack, 3 vols. 1781.

Ebenezer Jones

Ebenezer Jones (20 January 1820 – 1860) wrote a good deal of poetry of very unequal merit, but at his best shows a true poetic vein. He was befriended by Browning and Rossetti.

Life
He was born in Canonbury Square, Islington on 20 January 1820. His father was of Welsh background; his mother, Hannah Sumner, was of an Essex family. They were strict Calvinists. His father died, and at 17 he was a clerk in a city firm connected with the tea-trade.

Jones was for a short time a follower of Robert Owen. He assisted his friend W. J. Linton with political journalism, and worked for the radical publishers John Cleave and Henry Hetherington. He went down with consumption, and died on 14 September 1860.

Works
Jones as a poet was influenced by Percy Shelley and Thomas Carlyle, and wrote in an exaggerated style. Studies of Sensation and Event (1843) was a critical failure, though not with Bryan Waller Procter and Richard Hengist Horne. Three late poems, "To the Snow," "To Death," and "When the World is Burning", attracted attention.

Jones also wrote a short book entitled The Land Monopoly: The Suffering and Demoralization Caused by It; and the Justice and Expediency of its Abolition, published in 1849.

Posthumous reputation
For a while Jones was forgotten. In 1870, however, Dante Rossetti wrote in Notes and Queries commented that he would some day be disinterred. William Bell Scott agreed, and in 1878 Richard Herne Shepherd wrote a brief account of Ebenezer Jones. There were biographical papers in the Athenæum of September and October 1878, by Theodore Watts; and in 1879 Shepherd published a nearly complete edition of Studies of Sensation and Event (with author's corrections), additional pieces, a memoir by Ebenezer's brother Sumner, and reminiscences by Linton. A proposed second volume, containing prose writings and additional poems, preserved by his friend Horace Harral (1817–1905), never appeared.

Family
Jones married Caroline Atherstone, niece of Edwin Atherstone, but they separated.

Ernest Charles Jones

Ernest Charles Jones (25 January 1819 – 26 January 1869) was an English poet, novelist and Chartist. Dorothy Thompson points out that Jones was born into the landed gentry, became a barrister, and left a large documentary record. "He is the best-remembered of the Chartist leaders, among the pioneers of the modern Labour movement, and a friend of both Marx and Engels."

Early life
Jones was born on 25 January 1819 in Berlin (Seedorf), while his parents were visiting the Prussian court. He was the son of a British Army Major named Charles Gustavus Jones, equerry to the Duke of Cumberland, afterwards King of Hanover. In 1838 Jones came to England, and in 1841 published anonymously The Wood-Spirit, a romantic novel. This was followed by some songs and poems. He entered the Middle Temple in 1841 and on 20 April 1844 he was called to the bar.

Chartism
In 1845, he joined the Chartist agitation, quickly becoming its most prominent figure, and vigorously carrying on the party's campaign on the platform and in the press. His speeches, in which he openly advocated physical force, led to his prosecution, and he was sentenced in 1848 to two years' imprisonment for seditious speeches. While in prison he wrote, it is said in his own blood on leaves torn from a prayer-book, The Revolt of Hindostan, an epic poem.

Upon his release from prison, he conducted a Chartist newspaper: the Notes to The People (1850–1852). He became a leading figure in the "National Charter Association" in the phase of its decline, together with his friend George Julian Harney, and helped to give the Chartist movement a clearer socialist direction. Following the closing of Notes to The People, Jones launched another Chartist publication, the People's Paper in May 1852.

Jones knew Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels personally. Marx and Engels at the same time commented on the Chartist movement and Jones' work in their letters and articles: Marx described Jones as "the most talented, consistent and energetic representative of Chartism". Marx also contributed to Notes to The People: two articles on the French Revolution of 1848 were credited to him, he co-authored six more with Jones, and according to Marx, he also made contributions to all articles on economics published in the paper from 1851 to 1852, which constituted two-thirds of articles appearing in the publication. He also contributed 25 articles to the People's Paper. Jones, a strident anti-imperialist, has been credited as an influence on Marx's views regarding colonialism, which shifted during the 1850s from seeing imperialism as a progressive, modernising force to regarding it as having a destructive effect on colonised societies: Jones' imprisonment had come about after he had given a speech in east London advocating for the end of British rule in Ireland, and wrote a series of articles in the People's Paper in 1853 expressing the hope that the sepoys of the presidency armies would revolt against Company rule in India, prefiguring the Indian Rebellion of 1857 by four years.

However, Jones was almost the National Charter Association's only public speaker; he was out of sympathy with the other leading Chartists, and soon joined the advanced Radical party. Jones was a member of the Manchester section of the International Workingmen's Association.

Return to Convention
Afterwards, when the political and social agitation had died down, he returned to his practice as a barrister, which he had deserted, and also wrote largely. He produced a number of novels, including The Maid of Warsaw and Woman's Wrongs, also some poems, The Painter of Florence, The Battle Day (1855), The Revolt of Hindostan (1857), and Corayda (1859). Some of his lyrics, such as The Song of the Poor, The Song of the Day Labourers, and The Factory Slave, were well known.

Death
He made several unsuccessful attempts to enter parliament and was about to contest Manchester, with the certainty of being returned, when he died in Ardwick, Manchester in 1869. He is buried in Ardwick Cemetery. He is believed to have sacrificed a considerable fortune rather than abandon his Chartist principles. His wife was Jane Atherley; and his son, Llewellyn Atherley-Jones, K.C. (1851–1929), was a barrister and Liberal Member of Parliament.

 * It is amazing how North and South Carolina and Dakota are separate in people's minds, but not West Virginia. We would be educating educated people who frequently get this wrong. I agree with Youngamerican that this state is amazingly beautiful and oddball. It's the only one both above and below the Mason-Dixon line. It's the only one considered a Mid-Atlantic state (for the Eastern panhandle that reaches so close to Washington, D.C., Senators and pundits keep weekend homes), a Southern state (for its Applachian bulk, though it was a free state and fought for the Union), and a Midwestern state (for the Northern panhandle between Ohio and Penn., which reaches north as far as the hardly-Dixie Pittsburgh). I've heard the above geographical weirdness makes it the only state containing every kind of U.S. climate, from desert to tundra. Plus, the Mine Wars, about which John Sayles made the movie Matewan, was as bloody as the Johnson County War, and had bigger repercussions, in terms of unionization. John Brown, who led a Civil War-era sessionist movement (for a new country?) made his stand at Harper's Ferry. The PRT in Morgantown is the only one like it in the world. And it's the only state whose borders like entirely within the Appalachian region, whose culture, like African-American and Native-American, is one of the only indigenous, wholly American cultures. (Granted, clog dancing isn't for everyone, but the dulcimer is an Applachian creation, and possibly the steel guitar as well.) You've got Chuck Yeager, Jerry West, Don Knotts, Ann Magnuson, Mary Lou Retton and Mylan Pharmaceuticals all from there — and also the Greenbrier Resort, where presidents have stayed, and where there's a bomb-proof bunker for Congress.

I moved here (Bolivar) primarily because of the area's rich colonial and Civil War history and also because of the amazing architecture that remains here from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. I feel as if people do not understand, as Tenebrae explained above, how diverse each region and area in West Virginia is and how different each is from the others. The main article as it exists today does not give any hint as to how fabulous the state of West Virginia truly is. --TwilaStar 03:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments:
 * As interesting a story as New York City is in its own right, Transportation in new York City tells a fascinating story by itself. From the design of New York City's Street / Avenue grid almost 200 years ago, to its yellow cabs, subways, bridges, highways and even aerial tramway, there's much to learn. The article has gone through some major expansion and improvement on a collaborative basis over the past few weeks and can use the recognition, participation and expansion.
 * this article has been transformed in the last few weeks from an uninteresting list to a compelling and fleshed out piece. It keeps getting better and better. Has lots of momentum & is getting to feature status. Alansohn got it right: this article has a fascinating story to tell. A collective effort could put the final spit and polish on it
 * ALMOST FEATURE STATUS!

 * Hmmmm. I was asked to come here and vote for this.  Well, OK, but you may not like what I've got to say.  I think it's a terrible article.  This is not an encyclopedia article, it's a public relations puff piece.  It tells a one-sided story of how wonderful NYC transit is.  It completely ignores the fact that the subways are crowded, noisy, often dirty, and sometimes dangerous.  The outer boroughs are poorly served (especially if your goal is to go anywhere except into Manhattan).  We've only recently managed to get any kind of rail service to JFK, and it's still not a single seat ride, and there's still nothing to LaGuardia.  They've been promising to build the 2nd Ave subway all my life, and still no progress (yes, I know about the most recent promises, but when I say progress, I'm talking holes in the ground, not words on a page).  The pictures, while fine examples of artistic photography, show a carefully selected view of the cleanest, newest, and spiffiest.  The Taxi section paints an idealistic view of things as well -- real NYC taxis tend to be run-down, furnished inside with bullet-proof partitions and a decor which is best described as "industrial", and regardless of the rules, the drivers often refuse fares to sections of the city they don't want to go to.

 * Yeah, I know, it's not all quite as horrible as I make it out in the above paragraph, but neither is it the fantasy land this article makes it out to be. The entreatment to come here and vote said, It tells a fascinating story, and I think that hits the problem right on the head.  This is an encyclopedia.  It's supposed to provide information, not tell a story.  I think the authors of this article got so caught up in telling a good story (which they have), that they lost sight of the fact that they're supposed to be writing an encyclopedia article.   -- RoySmith (talk) 05:02, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * If you think the article needs to be more factual, discuss your thoughts in the article's discussion page. This is a collaboration, after all.

 * RoySmith, too bad you'd rather tear apart other people's work than endorse an improvement campaign with your vote. Mfk91 22:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Furthermore your complaining is puzzling. Your evidence that everything is actually third-world and unbearable: There's rail service from JFK, but it's not "one seat." The subway is the biggest in the world, but it's "dirty". What was the other thing? Oh, taxis are "industrial." Perhaps these things are of paramount importance to New York aesthetes. But let's compare them with the standard of the rest of America: No rail service from JFK-sized airports at all. No dirty subway, because there are no subways to speak of. Regarding taxis, believe it or not, the T&LC's regulations are so stringent that New York taxis must be replaced about every three years. The old ones go to Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, and every other city with sizeable taxi fleets. Should it be noted that they are all "industrial", or simply that they are taxis? Conclusion: Of course everything can always be more shiny and cleaner and newer and better, but the transit infrastructure in the US in general is old and in need of some TLC. What readers want to learn from the article is what's interesting and unique about NYC's transit infrastructure, not all the ways it's the same as everywhere else. Anyway, why not vote for the USCOTW nomination and add your contribution under "What's wrong with transportation in NYC" Mfk91 23:42, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * This article is important because it discusses what is arguably the most important public infrastructure in the world. Certainly the most complex transportation infrastructure in the US and the backbone of the nation's largest city. A deserving topic for these reasons alone.

 * I would have to agree. I am from Pawtucket, and what I've found is that a lot of information regarding the Ocean State is lacking.  This is also apparent in other RI-related articles.  First instance, take a look at the WSBE article.  There was none before I created it, and even then there's still a lot of information that needs to be included.  Among the information needed is how the Rhode Island Public Telecommunications Authority runs, for instance.  This could be an interesting project to nominate.  To whoever stated the "is it a part of NY?" comment, great job in mentioning it.  Wherever I go, whenever I mention that I'm from Rhode Island, I always get info on how people have relatives in New Jersey! So now I say I'm from "near the Boston area]], and then they listen.  However, if you go to Quebec and mention that you're from Rhode Island, they know where you are and they ask if you're related to a M. this or a Mlle. that, because a lot of the Québeçois have relatives here.  In addition, for the longest time possible, most of the best players on Mt. Saint Charles Academy's hockey team were in fact Québeçois, not Rhode Islanders.  So yes, this needs to be worked up a bit.  If we can get a Rhode Island portal up and running, then it would be great.  -Daniel Blanchette 22:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Some TLC could make this a featured article. Someone put a lot of love into this about six months ago and didn't finish the project.  It's heavily referenced but leaves out important genres such as blues and jazz. Durova 07:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It's important to document our culture correctly. While exhibiting an article on Rhode Island or the transportation of New York is very interesting, this article specifically teaches us something about ourselves as a whole.  The articles informs Americans about something that Americans have in common, which is quite a feat for a nation that prides itself on diversity.  Not everyone can go and look at Mount Rushmore, nor will it be all that different five years from now.  Music changes constantly, and it is available to all people, American or not. Catalogue these sorts of things, raise awareness for them, it's important.  Currently this country is very divided and this division is a great source of strife amongst our people. I don't think it'd be a bad idea to push such a uniting concept into the foreground of a very featured site.FJR58 15:20, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The arts of the United States series is in weak shape generally, which is sad because this country has the most Wikipedia editors. This article comes the closest to being something where we can really take pride.  Music is a subject where everyone can contribute. Durova 22:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Mount Rushmore, the iconic and monumental American sculpture, is one of the most instantly recognizable works of the 20th century and honors four important American presidents. Moreover, the national memorial protects flora, fauna and geology representative of the Black Hills of South Dakota, an area of exceptional natural beauty.

I don't think it's fair to get rid of uses that have had a few edits. Certainly, the ones that have only one edit, but 2-3 just means they are beginning users (unless of course its all from the same ISP address). I think you should put those back. Vertigo700 22:58, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

 * While Denver is a world-class American city that is close to achieving Featured Article Status, its support column reeks of sock puppetry. --Caponer 18:05, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I would agree, if it weren't for the fact that most of the users there either have only done one edit, or haven't edited for a month at least. None of those users have any hint of activity any more, so they would either be meat puppets or possible sock puppets. AndyZ 01:23, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

 * True, but browse through their contributions. Most of them have only made at most edits to 2 pages. Some of those have not been active for over a month. They are probably either sockpuppets or meatpuppets then. AndyZ 01:12, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It was only a matter of time until one of us nominated the capital city of the United States of America. The content is present, I feel all it needs is a trim and some rearrangements and it will easily receive featured article status. Along with the city of Baltimore and the Northern Virginia region, Washington, D.C. had a failed bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics. It has decided to bid again with the region for the 2016 Summer Olympics so an expansion of its bid for an Olympic Games is the only other topic I see that isn't covered in some detail in the article. --Caponer 18:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The Kentucky Derby is one of the most famous horse races in the world, and is arguably the most famous horse race in the US — it needs, expansion, and clean up — maybe we could get it up to FA status.-- ᎠᏢ   4  62090  Contribs  19:09, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The Kentucky Derby is one of the United States' premier events (started in 1875! and coming up in six days no less), and it deserves to have an immaculate article completed in its honor. And this is one of those rare local events that people across the world celebrates with their own parties and such. —  Stevie is the man!  Talk 19:29, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

 * (renomination) This article is very pertinent to the history of the US, considering as the Native Americans inhabitated the US about 17000 years in the past. It failed to pass through WP:FAC due to issues of POV and inline citations, of which the latter has already been completed. More expansion needs to be done to this article- certain of the sections, namely religion and culture, need to be expanded to represent a larger view of the Native Americans.

 * I realise that we are nearing the completion of Washington, D.C.'s term as USCOTW, but I was just going over the article for Arlington County, Virginia and I was stunned at how disheveled it is. With a little help it can also easily become a featured article! The following facts make it an interesting candidate: it is a county that contains unincorporated "urban villages" which have all undergone massive gentrification in the past decade, home to the largest national military cemetery in the US, site of The Pentagon complex along as numerous other offices of government agencies, site of Robert E. Lee's Arlington House, and is the smallest county in the 48 contiguous United States. Those that have visited Arlington know that it deserves a much better article than the one it currently has. --Caponer 01:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Arlington is more than a national tourist attraction, it is an award-winning national model for smart growth and urban planning. Thesmothete 03:46, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The page is horrible, I suppose it should follow something like Template for a US City (though its a county.. it functions like a city though, right?) at WP:CITY... drumguy  8800  -  speak  06:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. While it is officially a county, the article and templates should be treated as if it were a city. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck... --Caponer 06:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, it operates more like a city than a typical county -- moreso because in Virginia, cities and counties do not overlap in jurisdiction. A person is either in a city OR a county, but never both at the same time -- so they perform very similar functions. Thesmothete 07:30, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

 * As a 5+year resident of Arlington County, I can say that it is, for all intents and purposes, a single jurisdiction and if it wasn't for the requirement that cities are independent jurisdictions it could have been or would be considered a city, similar to the way the City of Alexandria was broken off from the county back near the start of the 20th century. Arlington County even provides a number of services for the smallest city in the United States, the neighboring City of Falls Church. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 15:22, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

We need to all get together and trim some fat from this article, establish guidelines on the talk page to avoid future edit wars, and get this article to FA status. This is more than improving Wikipedia, this is proving to those maple-syrup drinking freaks to the north that we too can make a Featured article out of our country's page!

 * The article just went through a GA review (it failed in September 2010) so there are some good advice for improvements to the article there. After spending the better part of 2 hours reading the suggestions and reviewinng the history of the article most have been addressed. Mostly by the same three editors. I recommend we contact them to help with the article as well. For one they have already done a lot of the work on the article thus far and would probably appreciate assistance and secondly they might be a little irritated at us pulling the carpet out from under them so to speak after they have done so much work on it.
 * The lede is a bit too long and needs to be shortened
 * The lede should not contain any inline citations. It is a summery of the article so the citations should already be in the article with references
 * We need to fix the bunching problem in the beginning.
 * The article doesn't flow chronologically like it should. I jumps around grouping things Like personal life together rather than flowing in order of occurance. I think this needs to be cleaned up.
 * There are a few places that still need inline citations.
 * Too many images on the right. We need to spread them out a bit more
 * Again we need to standardize the dates. there are 2 or 3 different formats used in the article
 * Didn't George write a few things? I think we need to add a works section to list at least some of them
 * There is a whole separate article for George Washington bibliography. Do we really need this. Seems kinda unencyclopedic and maybe we should roll it into the article. --Kumioko (talk) 17:35, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I believe Chesapeake Bay should be a USCOTM because of the historical, ecological, and economic importance of the Bay and its tributaries to the United States. This was already tagged as nominated for USCOTM, but there is nothing on this page. Bardobro (talk) 12:16, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I must say, having a look at the article, there is a lot of scope for expansion in the history, ecology, and noting things such as nearby towns and tributaries etc. Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:26, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Especially this history; I can easily imagine a History of Chesapeake Bay article. cmadler (talk) 16:21, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * First of all, I agree with the above comments--History of Chesapeake Bay should already exist. And Chesapeake Bay itself is not only worthy of the efforts to get it to FA status, I can't think of even five geographic articles more worthy.  Additionally, I would like this article to get a larger, more diverse, audience reviewing it.  (In particular, I have questions about the insistence of locals that the definite article is mandatory with any usage; I would like to see if this position is tenable for an encyclopedia, not of Maryland, but of the entire English-speaking world.) HuskyHuskie (talk) 19:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It's plausible that locals do use the definite article. A similar case that comes to mind is Ohio State University, which many alumni insist should always be "the Ohio State University". cmadler (talk) 15:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Would be happy to help out with this. Should have access to numerous library resources on the topic. --Aude (talk) 16:52, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Comments:
 * I believe Wall Street should become the new USCOTM - it is an iconic geographical and economic place. Just a feeler to see waht folks think. It might be modest and circumscribed enough to get to GA without too much work. Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:05, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Review:
 * Comment: I have been working on a revamp of Wall Street here in a sandbox; it's an expansion, needs more pictures, perhaps better organization and viewpoints from others, if interested. Please feel free to edit it in the sandbox if you wish.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 05:17, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I hope its ok to post this here but if not feel free to move it to the articles talk page. I was looking through the Wall street article and it is a massive improvement over the pre Collaboration version. I fixed a few things already but here are a few things that could use some improvement in the article. I am going to work on some of these as well. I think that we are pretty close to getting this to GA quality and wether it actually makes it to collaboration article of the month I think we should try and work on it too as we find the time of course.

Note: Tomwsulcer has greatly expanded and improved this article since it was submitted to this Collaboration and I think if it is selected we should include that time and those edits as part of the improvement counted.
 * I think we should notify the other WikiProjects that might be interested in helping with this. New york, New York City, Economics, etc
 * Inline citations shouldn't be in the lede
 * lede needs to be expanded a little. Its a bit short
 * Needs a little prose and grammer work. There are some choppy sentances, run-on sentances and things of that nature.
 * I think there are too many images on the right and I think it would look better if we shift them around a little more
 * There are still a couple places that need a reference such as the section titled Wall Street versus Main Street, some of the items in the Wall Street in popular culture section and the Transportation section
 * Some of the references need to be cleaned up a bit such as 3 and 15
 * I don't think we need to caps all the author names
 * I'm not sure about the quotes in the inline citations. Are these needed?
 * I think the dates in the inline citations should follow a standard format. We are using 3 or 4 different formats. If the format changes it should be because we are following the display of the article or paper but generally I would say use month day, year.
 * We use a lot of Newspaper articles like USA today, New york times and Wall Street journal in the article and it might be good to see if there is a book or 2 as well to subsidize some of these newspapers. Some could argue that the New York times and Wall street journal are not objective enough to offer unbiased opinions. --Kumioko (talk) 14:13, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

John Jortin

John Jortin (23 October 1698 – 5 September 1770) was an English church historian.

Life
Jortin was the son of Renatus Jordain, a Breton Huguenot refugee and government official, and Martha Rogers, daughter of Daniel Rogers. He was educated at Charterhouse School, and in 1715 became a pensioner of Jesus College, Cambridge, where he became a Fellow in 1721. He was Rede lecturer at Cambridge in 1724, and Boyle lecturer in 1749. A churchman, he held various benefices, becoming in 1764 Archdeacon of London.

Works
Jortin briefly (1731–2) established a magazine, Miscellaneous Observations upon Authors, Ancient and Modern, in which he wrote on Spenser and Milton. In 1722 he published a small volume of Latin verse entitled Lusus poetici. Discourses Concerning the Truth of the Christian Religion (1746) was a work of Christian apologetics. His Remarks on Ecclesiastical History (5 vols, 1751‑73), has been labelled "the most significant Anglican ecclesiastical history of the eighteenth century"; written "from a markedly latitudinarian perspective", it was respected by Gibbon.

Jortin mostly avoided controversy, though a dissertation on Virgil's treatment of the dead, by conflicting with Warburton's treatment, drew attack from Warburton's disciple Richard Hurd. A two-volume Life of Erasmus (1758, 1760) drew upon Jean Le Clerc: "Jortin was in many ways a late representative of Christian humanism, as well as an active citizen in the protestant republic of letters". Jortin published other miscellaneous pamphlets and tracts, and seven volumes of sermons appeared after his death. All his works showed learning, and were written in a lively style.

A collection of three volumes of his works was printed in 1805 and can be found at Internet Archive:
 * Discourses Concerning the Truth of the Christian Religion and Remarks on Ecclesiastical History, Volume 1
 * Discourses Concerning the Truth of the Christian Religion and Remarks on Ecclesiastical History, Volume 2
 * Discourses Concerning the Truth of the Christian Religion and Remarks on Ecclesiastical History, Volume 3

Sylvester Judd

Sylvester Judd (July 23, 1813 – January 26, 1853) was a Unitarian minister and an American novelist.

Biography
Sylvester Judd III was born on July 23, 1813, in Westhampton, Massachusetts to Sylvester Judd II and Apphia Hall, a daughter of Aaron Hall of Norwich, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, a one-year attendee at Harvard, and later modest justice of the peace. His great-grandfather was Rev. Jonathan Judd (1719-1803), a clergyman of Southampton, while his grandfather ran the family store. His father, after working in the store in his boyhood, went to Boston for several years, where, according to Judd's sister's biography, he became a voracious reader, returning to the family business, but then becoming editor of the Hampshire Gazette. Sylvester Judd III studied at Hopkins Academy in Hadley, Massachusetts, where he was president of the Literary Society and delivered the valedictorian address. He graduated from Yale College in 1836, and from Harvard Divinity School in 1840. His dissertation was entitled The Uses of Intellectual Philosophy to the Preacher. While a student, on April 4, 1838, Judd traveled to Concord, Massachusetts to meet Ralph Waldo Emerson after reading his essay "Epic Poetry". Emerson was pleased by Judd's interest in seeking a mystical identification with Christ. Judd may have been in the audience on August 31, 1837, and heard Emerson's commencement speech to the Phi Beta Kappa Society known as "The American Scholar".

Judd was ordained a Unitarian minister on October 1, 1840, becoming pastor of a church in Augusta, Maine. He was a member of the Maine Peace Society which was anti-war and sought justice through a World Court. Early in 1841, Judd met Jane Elizabeth Williams, the daughter of United States Senator Reuel Williams. The couple married on August 31, 1841; they had three daughters: Jane Elizabeth (September 26, 1844), Frances Hall (June 28, 1847), and Apphia Williams (March 16, 1853). Judd's third daughter was born two months after his death. His second daughter, Frances, married the Unitarian minister Seth Curtis Beach on November 17, 1869. Their son, Reuel W. Beach (Harvard graduate, married Ruth Walcott Stetson in 1909), and grandson, Curtis Beach, were both Unitarian ministers. Frances and Seth Beach's second son, Dr. Sylvester Judd Beach, lived from 1879-1953, residing in Portland, ME. Dr. Beach served as President of the Wayflete School in Portland, bringing progressive education to the school. Sylvester Judd's sister, Apphia Putnam Judd (born Oct 27, 1820 in Westhampton; died 1901 in Augusta), married his wife's brother, Joseph Hartwell Williams (1814-1896), who was the 27th governor of Maine (1857-1858).

Influences
According to Philip Brockway, Judd's early influences were Calvinist puritanism. After a spiritual conversion to Unitarianism as a young man, his readings took on wide spheres, particularly while at Yale College and then Harvard Divinity School. His readings included the poetry of Jones Very, the writings of Thomas Carlyle, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Robert Owen, Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, Goethe's Conversations with a Child by Bettina von Arnim, and the writings of the foremost Unitarian ministers of their day, William Ellery Channing and Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Brockway cites Emerson's journal entry from 1852, the year before Judd's death at 40: "I saw Judd in Augusta [Maine], in February, and asked him who his companions were.  He said, 'Sunsets.' I told him I thought they needed men. He said, 'I'm a priest and converse with the sick and dying.'"

Criticism
American critic and poet James Russell Lowell called Judd's novel Margaret "the most emphatically American book ever written". He mentioned the novel in his long satire A Fable for Critics (1848) as "the first Yankee book / With the soul of Down East in 't, and things farther East". In a 39-page review, however, critic William Bourne Oliver Peabody called the work unfinished and its characters and style inconsistent. After publishing his novel Philo, Judd sent a copy to Edward Everett Hale, who responded, "I think Philo glorious."

The critic and poet Richard J. Powers finds the child characterization of Margaret in the novel the prototype for Nathaniel Hawthorne's character of Pearl, Hester Prynne's daughter, in the 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter.

Works
He also wrote a large number of sermons and religious addresses. Judd's papers are at the Harvard University Library, Yale University Library and Lithgow Library in Augusta. His father's papers are in the Forbes Library, Northampton, MA.

Battle of Crooked River

The Battle of Crooked River was a skirmish occurred on October 25, 1838, a major escalator of the 1838 Mormon War. A Mormon rescue party led by David W. Patten, formed to free three Mormon hostages captured the day prior, clashed with a militia company commanded by Samuel Bogart southeast of Elmira, Missouri, in Ray County. Exaggerated reports of the battle led Missouri Governor Lilburn Boggs to issue Missouri executive order 44, resulting in the forced expulsion of the Mormons from the state.

Background
Ray County was located immediately south of the Mormon-dominated Caldwell County. The two counties were separated by a no-man's land 24 miles long and 6 miles wide, known as "Bunkham's Strip" or "Buncombe Strip". This unincorporated strip was attached to Ray County for administrative and military purposes. In early 1838, a group of prominent leaders from the Latter Day Saint church, including David Whitmer, William W. Phelps, John Whitmer and Oliver Cowdery, were excommunicated on accounts of wrongdoing. They fled Caldwell County and relocated their families to Richmond and Liberty, the county seats of Ray and Clay, respectively. The expulsion of the dissenters alarmed and created mistrust among the Missourians.

Meanwhile, relations between the Missourians and the Mormons living in the newly settled Carroll and Daviess counties deteriorated. In August, a brawl erupted in Gallatin when a group of Missourians attempted to block the Mormons from voting. In early October, a mob besieged the Mormon-dominated settlement of DeWitt, Missouri, demanding that the Mormons leave Carroll County. The citizens of DeWitt appealed for assistance to other Mormon settlements. In response, the Danites, a Mormon vigilante group, marched to Daviess County, Missouri, where they believed the attackers where located, and sacked the county seat of Gallatin. The following day, apostles Thomas B. Marsh and Orson Hyde left their association with the Church, and swore out affidavits reporting on the Daviess County expedition, the existence of the Danites, and rumors that the Danites were planning to attack Richmond and Liberty. Though no such attack was ever contemplated, dispatches of militia forces were authorized to prevent such an invasion.

Prelude to the battle
General David R. Atchison of Clay County, commander of the state militia in northwestern Missouri, ordered a company led by Captain Samuel Bogart of Ray County to patrol Bunkham's Strip to "prevent, if possible, any invasion of Ray county by persons in arms whatever". According to Peter Burnett, a resident of Liberty, "Captain Bogart was not a very discreet man, and his men were of much the same character". Bogart had previously participated in a vigilante group that harried the Mormons in Carroll County.

Bogart and his party began visiting the homes of Latter Day Saints living in Bunkham's Strip, forcibly disarming them and ordering them to leave Ray County. Bogart penetrated into Caldwell County and began to similarly harass Mormons there, advising them to remove to Far West, Missouri, the county seat. Returning to Ray County, his men captured three Mormons — Nathan Pinkham, Jr., William Seely, and Addison Green.

Reports quickly made it to Far West to the effect that a "mob" had captured and intended to execute a group of Mormon prisoners. About midnight, an armed rescue party formed. David W. Patten led the contingent of Caldwell county militia. Patten had come to be known as "Captain Fear-not," for his bravery during the attacks in Daviess County. The Mormon force quickly moved south along the main road connecting Far West and Richmond.

The battle
On the night of October 24, 1838, Captain Bogart's unit had camped along the banks of Crooked River in Bunkham's Strip. Patten and the Mormon rescue company approached from the north along the main road, having traveled the 12 or so miles from Far West in the five hours since midnight. At daybreak on the 25th, the Mormons encountered the militia's sentries. A brief firefight ensued, with each side testifying that the other had fired first. One of the sentries, John Lockhart, shot Patrick O'Bannion, the Mormons' scout. O'Bannion later died from this wound. Lockhart and the other guards fled down the hill to the militia camp which took up a defensive position.

The Mormon company approached the camp of the Ray militia and formed a battle line in three columns, led by David W. Patten, Charles C. Rich, and Patrick Durfee. Rich later recalled that soon after the Mormons had formed their lines, the militia "fired upon us with all their guns". A general firefight commenced, but the militia were situated behind the riverbank and held the tactically superior position. Patten decided to charge the militia position, shouting the Mormon battle cry of "God and Liberty!" The Missourians were without swords and so broke their lines and fled across the river in all directions.

During his charge, Patten was shot and mortally wounded. Ebenezer Robinson recalled that Patten had been "brave to a fault, so much so that he was styled and called 'Captain Fearnought'". Although it was not immediately realized, Gideon Carter had also been killed, making a total of three Mormon fatalities and one militiaman fatality. The Mormons collected their wounded as well as the baggage which Bogart's unit had left in the camp and made their way back to Far West.

During the conflict, one of the militia men named Samuel Tarwater was injured by Parley P. Pratt. After Tarwater fell unconscious from the injury, D. Michael Quinn states the company of Danites "mutilated the unconscious Tarwater 'with their swords' striking him lengthwise in the mouth, cutting off his under teeth, and breaking his lower jaw; cutting off his cheeks ... and leaving him [for] dead."

Aftermath
The battle resulted in four fatalities and the mutilation of Samuel Tarwater. It served as a catalyst for a massive escalation of the Mormon War. Exaggerated reports of the Mormon incursion into Daviess County and of the battle (some claiming that half of Bogart's men had been lost) made their way to Missouri Governor Lilburn Boggs. He responded by issuing an executive order calling out 2,500 state militiamen to put down what he perceived to be open rebellion by the Mormons. Two days later, Governor Boggs issued an order that "the Mormons must be treated as enemies and must be exterminated or driven from the state" and directed the militia to carry this into effect.

On October 30, a mob of approximately 200 men killed 17 men and boys at Haun's Mill. The next day, Joseph Smith and approximately 50 other church leaders were arrested. Most of these leaders were released within three weeks. In November, the rest were marched first to Independence, then to Richmond, and then to Liberty, where they were incarcerated in Liberty Jail. Joseph and Hyrum Smith were indicted by a grand jury on the charge of treason. They escaped while being transferred to Boone County.

USS Breckinridge

USS Breckinridge (DD–148) was a Wickes-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War II, later reclassified as AG-112. She was named for Ensign Joseph Breckinridge.

History
Breckinridge was launched on 17 August 1918 by William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building Company, Philadelphia, sponsored by Miss Genevieve Dudley Breckinridge, a niece of Ensign Breckinridge. The ship was commissioned on 27 February 1919, Commander Arthur L. Bristol in command.

Breckinridge joined the Destroyer Force, Atlantic Fleet operating off Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. She was employed along the east coast principally in the development and tests of sonar devices until placed out of commission in reserve at Philadelphia on 30 June 1922. Recommissioned in May 1930, Breckinridge served with the Scouting Force United States Fleet, along the east coast until late in 1932. She sailed for the Pacific where she served with the Scouting Force from Alaska to Pearl Harbor. In May 1936 she was assigned to Training Squadron 10 and operated along the east coast and in Cuban waters until September 1936 when she was placed out of commission in reserve. After three years out of commission at Philadelphia, she was recommissioned in September 1939 and served with Division 66, Atlantic Squadron, on the Neutrality Patrol. In December 1940 she was assigned to the Inshore Patrol Station, Panama Canal Zone. Subsequent to May 1941 Breckinridge was based at Key West, Florida, patrolling and conducting underwater experiments and scheduled exercises.

Breckinridge operated under Commander, Caribbean Sea Frontier, on patrol and escort duties until December 1943 when she was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet. She joined TG 21.13, a hunter-killer group on 14 January 1944 for mid-Atlantic anti submarine sweeps. Returning to Norfolk 27 February after an uneventful operation, TG 21.13 was dissolved and Breckinridge proceeded to Boston for overhaul. On 22 March 1944 she returned to Norfolk and reported to TF 6 to escort a convoy across the Atlantic. Departing on 24 March 1944, the convoy reached the Mediterranean Sea with no interference. However, on the night of 11/12 April numerous German aircraft attacked the convoy inflicting damage to USS Holder (DE-401).

Breckinridge returned to Boston on 11 May 1944. On 27 May she reported for duty to Commander, Caribbean Sea Frontier, and operated in the vicinity of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, until 7 February 1945 when she returned to duty with the Atlantic Fleet. After undergoing overhaul at Boston Navy Yard between 10 February and 31 March she commenced operations at New London, Connecticut, as flagship of Destroyer Division 54.

Fate
On 30 June 1945 Breckinridge was reclassified a miscellaneous auxiliary AG-112. After a short conversion period at the New York Navy Yard Annex, Bayonne, New Jersey. She sailed for the Pacific, reaching San Diego on 21 August. On 24 August she reported to Commander, Carrier Division 12, for duty as plane guard and escort vessel. Breckinridge operated in that capacity until decommissioned on 30 November 1945. She was sold for scrap on 31 October 1946.

Awards
Breckinridge received one battle star for her World War II service.

Haryana Republican Party

Haryana Republican Party, political party in the Indian state of Haryana. The party was founded on 30 December 2003 when the sole Republican Party of India member of the Haryana assembly, Karan Singh Dalal, broke away. On the same day Democratic Congress Party was founded as well.

Many saw HRP as a quasiparty, whose raison d'etre was to provide a loop-hole for the Anti-Defection Law as Dalal wanted to join Indian National Congress. After the Lok Sabha elections 2004 Dalal merged his HRP with Congress. But the speaker of the Haryana assembly reacted and suspended Dalal (and five other assembly members who had joined Congress) under the Anti-Defection Law. Thus the attempt on behalf of Congress to gain majority in the assembly failed.

Robert Keith (actor)

Rolland Keith Richey (February 10, 1898 – December 22, 1966), known professionally as Robert Keith, was an American stage and film actor who appeared in several dozen films, mostly in the 1950s as a character actor.

Early life
Keith was born in Fowler, Indiana, the son of Mary Della (née Snyder) and James Haughey Richey.

Career
He portrayed characters such as the father in Fourteen Hours (1951) and a psychopathic gangster in The Lineup (1958).

He also played the police chief and father of biker Marlon Brando's love interest in the 1953 film The Wild One, and as another cop, this time Brando's antagonist, in the film musical, Guys and Dolls.

Keith had a large supporting role in Douglas Sirk's Written on the Wind. He had roles on television, including a role as Richard Kimble's father in The Fugitive and lead roles on episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents ("Ten O'Clock Tiger" and "Final Escape") and The Twilight Zone ("The Masks"), which was his last screen effort, in the role of Jason Foster, the rich New Orleans patriarch to a family waiting for their benefactor to die. He appeared as scientist Garson Lee in a 1954 episode of The Motorola Television Hour "Atomic Attack".

Personal life
Keith's second wife was stage actress Helena Shipman, with whom he had a son, actor Brian Keith.

On April 18, 1927, Keith married Peg Entwistle, an actress who was a decade his junior. They were divorced in 1929, with Entwistle citing abuse and domestic cruelty in her divorce filing. Entwistle also stated that Keith had deceived her into believing that he had never been married before. Keith married his fourth wife, Dorothy Tierney, in a secret wedding ceremony on an undisclosed date in 1930. They met in late 1929 while both were acting at different theatres in the San Francisco Bay Area. The couple remained together until Keith's death on December 22, 1966. Among the honorary pallbearers at his funeral were Ronald Reagan, Edward G. Robinson, and James Cagney.
