Talk:China national football team

Accuracy
Could somebody knowledgable on this subject check the accuracy of the midfield players listed in the current team? Sun Jihai is OK, but Li Xiaopeng and Yan Song link to a gymnast and 16th century Prime Minister respectively! -- Arwel 18:51, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * i think we should delete the current squad section. national teams dont have current squads, they have player pools. the pools are big and change often (vs european club rosters which are small and change twice a year). if it's the 22 man roster from the last asia cup, we can start a Asian Cup 2004 (squads) page like we have for (some of) the world cups.

Liu Zhengyu, Zuo Ya, they are also a good player in China and so famous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.92.97.212 (talk) 01:50, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Perhaps its worth mentioning that China has called up all their European-based players for these friendlies:  // Laughing Man 16:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

China PR?
Since the official short name of FIFA for this team is "China PR", wouldn't it be a good idea if this is moved to China PR national football team? -- Howard  the   Duck  02:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll move it now since the country is officaly Peoples Republic of China, witch for short its China PR.--Someguyudontknow (talk) 01:41, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Agreed but it has been moved back without a reason being stated. FIFA uses PR as does other pages and articles when refering to this page. Move back? Transaction Go (talk) 14:52, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I'v moved it to China PR national football team.--Lisan1233 (talk) 04:05, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Long punts
The word punt has a specific meaning in American football and the various codes of rugby. It is not frequently used in soccer/football. A similar term that is used is volley. However, the phrase "long punt" here is clearly meant to refer to a long ball. (Herbert Xu) 00:55, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Current Kits
I believe for 2008-2009, China's national team has reversed the colors, making the white the home jersey and the red the away jersey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.62.205 (talk) 09:24, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

China national football team or China PR national football team
The title should be named as "China national football team". Before the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the record of Republic of China is counted as the present "China PR" national football team. Also the article of other sports teams of China is named "China" instead of "China PR".--FootballHK (talk) 07:16, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

 * There was already a discussion 3 sections above. The records and achievements before 1949 being counted towards today's team is irrelevant as the name is not. FIFA, the governing body of football, officially refers to the team as China PR. See: http://www.fifa.com/associations/association=chn/index.html As for other team pages well that depends on what their respective sports governing body refers to them by and if necessary the name will be changed accordingly. Transaction Go (talk) 02:42, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * So should we move other national football teams of China to China PR?--FootballHK (talk) 02:59, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well yes now that you pointed that out that would be most appropriate. Transaction Go (talk) 06:50, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose This proposal is moving into extremely controversial territory.  On Wikipedia we do not express an opinion on which China has the right to refer to itself using that word.  For anything after 1949 we refer to People's Republic of China and Republic of China.  There is a good case for moving China PR national football team to People's Republic of China national football team however, as that would be more akin to common English, which we are supposed to use, rather than the somewhat convoluted and unnatural names that FIFA sometimes choses.  Skinsmoke (talk) 06:33, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

China - international football
Can anyone help me disentangle the official status of the various matches involving the China national football team prior to 1948. I am slowly building the List of first association football internationals per country and have had some problems identifying the first "official" match for each particular country; hopefully, I've got it right so far. But I am hitting a wall with the Chinese. The article for the China PR national football team (People's Republic) lists their first match as taking place on 1 February 1913, with an alternative as 4 August 1952, whereas the article for Chinese Taipei national football team (Taiwan) also claims the 1 February 1913 match, with an alternative of 1 May 1954.

For Taiwan I have gone with the latter but for the People's Republic I have gone with the Olympic Games match on 2 August 1948, as per the RSSSF article. RSSSF list three matches played in Hong Kong in 1949, 1950 and 1953 between "China" and South Korea which don't seem to have official status. The ELO website (which shows how the FIFA rankings are arrived at) lists the first Taiwan match as that on 1 May 1954 but for the People's Republic it shows all the matches from February 1913.

RSSSF does not list any of the "pre-war" matches for either country and for the earlier matches (from 1913 to 1921) in the Far Eastern Games, says that China was represented by a club side, South China A.A... China also played in the 1936 Olympics; and the FIFA match summary shows them as "China PR".

Another website lists all the matches from 1913, but attributes those up to 1927 as, those from 1930 to 1949 as Including both the 1936 and 1948 Olympic Games matches) with the first 🇨🇳 china match as being that on 4 August 1952.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 08:42, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Does anybody know how the template always hyperlinked China national football team? Help would be nice if it was sorted out.Mr Hall of England (talk) 13:46, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

China PR national football team → China national football team – 1) China is WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by many talks together with the recent talk Talk:Flora of China. 2) See Category:China national football team navigational boxes. Many templates just use China, not People's Republic of China. 3) Balance with South Korea national football team, not Korea Republic national football team. FIFA officially refers to the teams as China PR, Korea Republic. Sawol (talk) 08:50, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Rename per WP:COMMONNAME, per China and per Football in China. Timrollpickering (talk) 15:31, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Question: If we are going by how the country articles are named on Wikipedia (i.e. "China" and "Taiwan"), and not their official FIFA names, does that mean that you would support renaming Chinese Taipei national football team to Taiwan national football team, even though there is no such thing as a national team for Taiwan? How about similar articles such as Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee and Chinese Taipei at the 2004 Summer Olympics, will they too be renamed? --  李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 04:09, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I hope so. --BDD (talk) 17:14, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong support per nom. This is overdue. Per WP:AT, we should observe internal consistency in naming articles rather than the specialized terms used by FIFA and the like. We also have North Korea national football team and Ivory Coast national football team instead of FIFA's Korea DPR and Côte d'Ivoire. --BDD (talk) 17:14, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Major revisions and deletions to article
User:Pestick talk or User talk:14.231.64.162 has been removing large amounts of content from this article, either referenced or not under Recentism. There has not been a consensus to do this and no attempt to try to fix problems or preserve appropriate text:

 * edit 15:31, 25 April 2020 The removal of historical context opens this passage up to a distortion of the historical record.

 * edit 13:38, 21 April 2020 Deleting significant views, research or information from notable sources that would usually be considered credible and verifiable in Wikipedia terms. Concealing of relevant information about sources or sources' credentials that is needed to judge their value.

 * edit 13:29, 21 April 2020 Information suppression by not allowing one view to "speak for itself".

 * edit 13:27, 21 April 2020 Entirely omitting significant citable information in support by minimizing, trivializing or ignoring other citations that call one's opinion into question.

 * edit 08:59, 21 April 2020 Information suppression by concealing relevant information about sources or sources' credentials that is needed to fairly judge their value.

 * edit 10:45, 29 April 2020 Section blanking, no consensus discussions with all concerned users, Appropriate text should be preserved, as much as possible, according to WP policy WP:EDIT and removing encyclopedic content without any reason.

Kai Lau (talk) 00:51, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

 * @Kai Lau, sorry for not replying to this for quiet some time. I'm trying to curtail the amount of un-necessary content, particularly in the history section of this article. As you can see, there is the template that i put there not long ago warning about the Recentism problem of this section. My edits are mean to fix this issue and so then I can remove this template.
 * Even if cited, many content in that section are too detailed and not necessary/notable, it is making the section too long for this type of article about a football team and mean while, other sections are too short. Look for featured articles of the same topic like Belgium national football team and Peru national football team, you will see the history section is concise and well cut with a moderate length.
 * The section need to be made shorter and more concise/comprehensible, that's all. Of course, there will be certain content I removed that you may not agree, but I will discuss any content to persuade you that it should be removed. By the way, too many sources are not needed, there's no guide that says you should add more than one source. One reliable and objective source should be enough. This article also contains too many sources compared to other articles of the same type.Pestick (talk) 16:11, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear Pestick

Your content removal on these: edit 15:31, 25 April 2020, edit 13:38, 21 April 2020, edit 13:29, 21 April 2020, edit 13:27, 21 April 2020, edit 08:59, 21 April 2020, edit 10:45, 29 April 2020 do not show "an inflated or imbalanced focus on recent events" and they are not "documenting breaking news reports." They are written from "a neutral point of view, with attention to the long-term significance of the information included." Each of the edits shown above is content or sources that are all about information before 1980 and provide "consideration of proportion, balance, and due weight" to the entire article. As described in the WP Recentism article you provided. More importantly they abide by the WP Five pillars of Wikipedia, especially in ensuring the content is "written from a neutral point of view" because it provides historical context. In comparison your last edit on this article 15:23, 3 May 2020 does the oppersite, you've provided only two subsections and the section People's Republic (1950–) has now created an article imbalance. More importantly your content removal has lead to Information suppression, a distortion of the historical record and a partial point of view.

The featured articles of the Belgium national football team and Peru national football team both employ splitting the article, and as the recentism article states on What to do about it "an article might need to be split into multiple articles in order to achieve a balance not readily attainable within a single article." Why is it that you decided not to employ the same technique for the China national team article and instead skip any attempt for a consensus, not make any attempts to try to fix problems or preserve appropriate text and go against WP Editing policy? As for adding more then one source then WP Multiple sources states "no fixed number of sources [are] required .... but multiple sources are generally expected" and before you edited on 04:23, 20 April 2020 14.231.64.162 this article had 93 references compared to the 144 for Peru and 228 Belgium.

As I've stated to you before, please read a translated version of the featured Nederlands: China national football team article. Once you've read it I think you understand where the majority of my arguments about your edits come from. After you've done reading it please contact me so we can figure out how to translate it and make this article a feature article. Kai Lau (talk) 23:46, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

 * @Kai Lau. Firstly, I have to say that I tried to, but can't understand most of what you have written. Please, try to write shorter, and just use simple words.
 * You accused me of Information suppression. This is not true. I have no agenda to selectively choose certain information and remove other information just because I want to make this article bias in a point of view. Of course not, for what?. Condensing isn't information suppression. The information that I have removed are insignificant and not notable. They are redundant and should be removed from the article and just mention the main events only. There are Wikipedia guide rules on that, read it.
 * Your current version of this article isn't neutral. There is a lot of bias tone in the current version. In fact, I'm the one who is trying to make it neutral through my edits.
 * About splitting the article, with the Belgium and Peru football teams (examples). I'm trying to improve this article only. If the section is long and have Recentism issues, it doesn't matter if there is a detailed article of that sub-section or not, the section's information must be curtailed to improve this article only. I don't care about splitting the article, if you want to split the article/ create a new article about history, that is your job/ your interest. Now my job/ my interest is to improve this article's quality, that's all. There is no rule on Wikipedia that says you have to create a detailed article regarding a sub-section's topic if you want to reduce that section's amount of information.
 * Furthermore, I actually haven't finished my editing of this article at all. Because you are obstructing me in the process. Wait until I finish editing this article to an extent, you will see that the article will be a lot better.
 * Do you have Facebook account, or something like that? We can make friend and talk in there. This is optional, It's easier/smoother to discuss via chatting rather than talking here (waiting for you to reply here is too long for me). Pestick (talk) 15:06, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear Pestick

I have written clearly and concisely the issues with your edits but you "can't understand most of what I have written" so here is me "writing shorter":

You refuse to read the Nederlands version that would help improve this article, you refuse to make any attempts to try to fix problems or preserve appropriate text, you refuse to go and do any extra work that might reach a consensus, you accuse other editors of bias, yet provide no evidence of such accusations and you persistently and flagrantly go against WP Five pillars and WP Editing policy.

Finally you want me to give up my personal details, well here are "simple words so you can understand," No. Kai Lau (talk) 22:39, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

@Kai Lau
 * Firstly, stop accusing me of things I didn't do, I did not "refuse" anything that you are accusing me of "refusing". I also did not accuse anyone of doing anything. Where is the proof? Perhaps you are misunderstanding "accusations" with "citing problems".

 * Secondly, watch your tone and the way you talk, I did not mean to be negative to you but you, on the other hand, is being agressive.

 * Thirdly, I'm not "wanting you to give up your personal details". No. I'm looking for us to have a different forum/website where we can "chat", or a different way of discussing which is quicker. A Facebook account does not required you to give up your personal details, you can just create a new one and it does not show any of your details other than an avatar and a fake name. You understand it now?

Pestick (talk) 08:12, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Fourthly, this is English wikipedia. You don't have a mandate to tell me to go reading a whole long article in a different language, which is very time comsuming (you didn't give specific guidelines so that is why I haven't done it). You will need to give clearer outlining reasons for why I ought to do so, or I'm not gonna do it.
 * Thank you for coming to the talk page. This is a real start.  I do not recommend trying to talk off-wiki about this article.  From the essay called WP:OFFWIKI:
 * As a note of caution, using external forums to make decisions about Wikipedia content is frowned upon (see the guidance Consensus-building pitfalls and errors). This is particularly true if discussion fails to take place on the wiki as well, to allow people to participate equally even if they were unaware of the off-wiki discussion. In general, a consensus must be built on Wikipedia to indicate that the community supports an action. However, as a place to get questions answered or have a wide-ranging discussion that may not be specific to a particular encyclopedia article, an external forum can often be useful.
 * Also, if the conflict escalated, there would be no record of what happened.
 * Both of you please read WP:INDENT.
 * I suggest rather than speaking in generalities about ALL the edits to work on one edit at a time, making a separate subsection for each. I will make subsections below to show you how you can do it.  I might weigh in on some of the edits, or some of the others watching the article, so we might find consensus on at least some of these edits.
 * Some of the disputes you to have are common in contested articles. You both might benefit by looking at contested articles you have no investment in to see what happens.  It might help you both to gain perspective and see what works towards resolution and what doesn't.
 * Also, I think you are both good faith editors who want to improve the article. I see merit in both positions, but it depends on the particular edit.    --David Tornheim (talk) 17:03, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I broke the edits up with comments by Kai Lau. Can you please respond to each of these edits individually?  If there is more than one thing happening in a particular edit, try breaking it up.  I will look at some of them too, and may break them up further. Also, regarding your request
 * Furthermore, I actually haven't finished my editing of this article at all. Because you are obstructing me in the process. Wait until I finish editing this article to an extent, you will see that the article will be a lot better.
 * As part of WP:BRD, when Kai Lau reverted you, it is not "obstructing", as long as Kai Lau gives sufficient reasons in the edit summary and/or on the talk page for disagreeing with your changes. To achieve your goal of making multiple modifications without interruption, you could:
 * (1) copy a paragraph or section of the article to your sandbox
 * (2) make edits until you like the improved version
 * (3) copy the revised paragraph or section to replace the existing version with appropriate edit summary of everything that you changed and why
 * (4) If you get reverted, or expect to be reveted:
 * (5) Open up a new section on the talk page
 * (6) Copy the (proposed) revised version you want -or- if you were reverted, you can give a WP:DIFF of the change you tried to implement.
 * (7) Say why you think your version is better and ask if other editors agree with you -- but don't WP:CANVASS.
 * Does that all make sense? --David Tornheim (talk) 17:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * I agree with the removal, because the reference is WP:PRIMARY and does not refer to the team at all. Hence it is WP:OR.  Therefore, I am removing it.  If you (or anyone else) can find WP:RS that says this in referring to the team, it can be restored with the new reference. --David Tornheim (talk) 17:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * @Pestick if you disagree with an edit please go to this talk page to discuss it before deleting the content. As you wrote "differentiate between an association and a football team.

 * @Pestick Why did you remove a clearly referenced source without any explanation? Kai Lau (talk) 00:28, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * @Kai Lau Huh? I did explain. Did you not read the edit summaries? Or did you not understand them? Because either the referenced sources are not related to the main topic, or they cited events that are not notable enough. Wikipedia's article does not need to include all events, just to write the important ones.Pestick (talk) 01:24, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * @Pestick your edit summary was only for Edit 2 with no explanation to this edit. As for this edit, Help:Your first article clearly states "the topic should be notable and be covered in detail in good references from independent sources". This edit is notable and detailed as it explains the hostilities between the two teams, why there were two teams using the same name for years and the origins on why this team would isolate itself from the footballing community. The reference is directly related to the main topic and it is a independent source. Kai Lau (talk) 02:09, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Content
The name of the article is China national football team First sentence says China PR national football team First match is of Republic of China  And so does it include info of ROC history. There was a move in 2013 which caused this, and that was right, but it Now also includes info that really shouldn’t be here, rather at the Chinese Taipei page. We could also have a disambiguation page. If I don’t hear any arguments against, I’d start editing in a week. EnTerbury (talk) 08:39, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

 * FIFA on their website recognises the 1931 affiliation of Republic of China to China PR: FIFA website China PR

 * While the term China national football team was discussed several years ago and concluded that it is the COMMONNAME for China PR national football team. Kai Lau (talk) 22:32, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

 * It can be shared. Taiwan/Republic of China and China PR both inherited that because the current Republic of China still considers whole mainland as theirs, so it is legal. ZaDoraemonzu (talk) 12:15, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Taiwan isn't China's football rival
Here is my objection, I found that people listed Taiwan here before it was locked to prevent outsiders from making vandalism for a year. Taiwan however is not well-known in football, the Taiwanese (or Republic of China) football team isn't known to the rest of the world. Current People's Republic of China (or mainland China) and Taiwan has a tense relationship, but it has never extended to football level because of lacking popularity of football in Taiwan. Like the case of India and Pakistan where football rivalry isn't common here. ZaDoraemonzu (talk) 12:19, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California (in case citations, E.D. Cal.) is a federal court in the Ninth Circuit (except for patent claims and claims against the U.S. government under the Tucker Act, which are appealed to the Federal Circuit).

The District was created on March 18, 1966, with the division of the Northern and Southern districts, leading to the creation of the Central and Eastern districts.

The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California represents the United States in civil and criminal litigation in the court. the United States attorney is Phillip Talbert.

Organization of the court
The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California is one of four federal judicial districts in California. Court for the District is held at the Robert E. Coyle U.S. Courthouse in Fresno and Robert T. Matsui U.S. Courthouse in Sacramento.

 * Fresno Division comprises the following counties: Calaveras, Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, Stanislaus, Tulare, and Tuolumne.
 * Sacramento Division comprises the following counties: Alpine, Amador, Butte, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Mono, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo, and Yuba.
 * Bakersfield Office hears misdemeanor and petty criminal offenses on federal lands and National Parks in Inyo and Kern counties. Court is held at Bakersfield, Edwards Air Force Base, and Ridgecrest.
 * Redding Office hears misdemeanor and petty criminal offenses on federal lands and National Parks in Northern California. Court is held at Sierra Army Depot, Redding, and Susanville.
 * Yosemite Office hears misdemeanor and petty criminal offenses in Yosemite National Park. National parks are under federal jurisdiction. The perennially large crowds of tourists at Yosemite create a unique situation justifying the presence of a courthouse inside the park itself.

Request for expansion
The six sitting judges and three senior judges have submitted a draft letter to the members of the Senate and House of Representatives from the Eastern District in which they argue that population growth in the district has necessitated an increase in the number of district judges.

Jamestown Island

Jamestown Island is a 1561 acre island in the James River in Virginia, part of James City County. It is located off Glasshouse Point, to which it is connected via a causeway to the Colonial Parkway. Much of the island is wetland, including both swamp and marsh.

History
Prior to English settlement, the nearby area was home to the Paspahegh people, or Virginia Algonquians. In May 1607, the island (then a peninsula) became site of James Fort, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. The chief of the Powatan at that time, also named Powhatan, was father of Pocahontas.

After Powhatan's death in 1618, hostilities with colonists escalated under his brother, Opechancanough.

His large-scale attacks in 1622 and 1644 met strong reprisals by the English, resulting in the near elimination of both the settlement and the tribe. After Bacon's rebellion in 1677, Jamestown lasted until 1699, when it was abandoned in favor of a new site at Williamsburg.

Significance
By the early 20th century, the isthmus connecting the landform to Glasshouse Point had eroded, making it a proper island. Today, most of the island is a part of Colonial National Historical Park, including Historic Jamestown.

The rediscovery of the James Fort in 1996 by Jamestown Rediscovery has led to significant archaeological discoveries of the early colonial settler period.

Kosmos 140

Kosmos 140 (Космос 140 meaning Cosmos 140), Soyuz 7K-OK No.3, was an uncrewed flight of the Soyuz spacecraft. It was the third attempted test flight of the Soyuz 7K-OK model, after orbital (Kosmos 133) and launch (Soyuz 11A511) failures of the first two Soyuz spacecraft.

History
The follow-up to Kosmos 133 (Soyuz 7K-OK No.2), 28 November 1966, was planned for 14 December 1966 (Soyuz 7K-OK No.1) but ended disastrously. At liftoff, the Blok A core stage of the 11A57 booster ignited, but not the strap-ons. A shutdown command was immediately sent and pad crews began to move the service towers back in place and drain the propellants. This task was completed for the core stage and strap-ons, and then about 27 minutes after the attempted launch, the launch escape system (LES) suddenly fired. Its exhaust caused the Blok I third stage propellant tanks to overheat and explode, killing one person on the ground and damaging the Soyuz and core stage/strap-ons beyond repair. LC-31 was also badly damaged and took seven months of repair work in the frigid Kazakhstan winter to be restored to use. The reason for the LES firing was thought to be either a timer being activated due to the Earth's rotation affecting the gyroscope package in the launch vehicle or perhaps one of the service towers bumping it.

Launch
In February 1967, the backup booster and spacecraft were set up at LC-1 and the planned mission could be carried out. Kosmos 140 was operated in a low Earth orbit, on 7 February 1967, it had a perigee of 165 km, an apogee of 218 km, an inclination of 51.7°, and an orbital period of 88.5 minutes.

Return
The spacecraft suffered attitude control problems and excessive fuel consumption in orbit, but remained controllable. An attempted maneuver on the 22nd orbit still showed problems with the control system. It malfunctioned yet again during retrofire, leading to a steeper than planned ballistic reentry and a 30 cm hole being burned in the heat shield.

Although the event would have been lethal to any human occupants, the capsule's recovery systems operated and the capsule crashed through the ice of the frozen Aral Sea, hundreds of kilometers short of its landing zone. The spacecraft finally sank in 10 metres of water and had to be retrieved by divers. The test performance was nonetheless deemed "good enough"; the crewed docking missions of Soyuz 1 and Soyuz 2 was approved for the next flight.

Simon Emil Koedel

Simon Emil Koedel (1881–1949) was a spy for Nazi Germany in World War II. Born in 1881 in Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany, and came to the US in 1904. Koedel enlisted in the US Army in 1908 and served until 1911, and in 1912 he became a US citizen. He began spying on American shipping for Germany, and in April 1915 headed for England via Holland. He spied on shipping in England and Scotland until he was arrested in Liverpool. After being deported back to the US, he headed to Germany in 1916 again via Holland. Koedel was then commissioned as a captain in the Germany Army and subsequently returned to the United States.

During World War II, Koedel used his stepdaughter, Marie Koedel, to spy on US and other seamen while in port in New York. He monitored American ports and US military suppliers. He obtained and forwarded to Germany volumes of information about US companies involved in the war effort over many years, but also about policy, decisions made and to come; information which he obtained by posing as a concerned citizen. He often wrote to Congressmen and other highly regarded persons who unwittingly helped him through otherwise closed doors.

The Koedels were both arrested in 1944. They were charged with conspiracy to commit espionage. In 1945, Simon pleaded guilty, while Marie was convicted at trial. During her trial, Marie, who claimed she acted under duress and her mother had said Simon had physically abused the two of them. Simon was sentenced to 15 years in prison, while Marie was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison. Both avoided possible death sentences since their known spying activities happened before the United States entered the war.

Sally Priesand

Sally Jane Priesand (born June 27, 1946) is America's first female rabbi ordained by a rabbinical seminary, and the second formally ordained female rabbi in Jewish history, after Regina Jonas. Priesand was ordained by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion on June 3, 1972, at the Plum Street Temple in Cincinnati. After her ordination she served first as assistant and then as associate rabbi at Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in New York City, and later led Monmouth Reform Temple in Tinton Falls, New Jersey from 1981 until her retirement in 2006. She is featured in numerous books including Rabbis: The Many Faces of Judaism and Fifty Jewish Women who Changed the World.

Early life and education
Sally Jane Priesand was born June 27, 1946, in Cleveland, Ohio into a Jewish family. Her parents, Irving Theodore, an engineer, and Rose Elizabeth (Welch) Priesand were not religiously observant but they were active in Jewish organizations. Her mother served as president of the sisterhood of their temple, while her father was president of a B'nai B'rith lodge. Her family lit Shabbat candles, celebrated Chanukah and had a Passover Seder to which the children were encouraged to invite a non-Jewish friend to share in the festivities and learn about Judaism. The family first attended a non-egalitarian Conservative synagogue, and later attended Beth Israel-West Temple, a Reform congregation on Cleveland's West Side, where Priesand began to display a commitment to Judaism and Jewish life as a teenager. Priesand did not become Bat Mitzvah but was confirmed and continued her religious school education through the twelfth grade. At the age of 16, she decided she wanted to be a rabbi. She later described her decision to become a rabbi as "an affirmation of my belief in God, in the worth of each individual, and in Judaism as a way of life."

While still in high school, she requested admission information from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati (HUC-JIR). In answer to her letter, the school responded: "'We are pleased to learn of your interest in our college. ... Since you state in your letter that your interests lean specifically to the rabbinate, we would have to inform you candidly that we do not know what opportunities exist for women in the active rabbinate, since we have, as yet, not ordained any women.' And another letter stated: '... You might also ascertain from Rabbi Litt, and he in turn from other rabbis, just what would be the disposition of the rabbinate respecting someone like you who is interested in being ordained by the College-Institute. While we have had women students, none so far, has taken the full course of study which would lead to graduation and ordination as a rabbi. Therefore, some clear knowledge on your part of what it will mean to you to have graduated from our school is essential for you prior to your thinking about entering. The question of a woman as a rabbi is a question for the rabbis rather than for the school. There is no attempt on our part to discourage you but to direct your thinking. ... '"

Entering the University of Cincinnati in 1964, she was accepted into the joint program of HUC-JIR and the University of Cincinnati. She graduated with a Bachelor of Hebrew Letters and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from HUC-JIR and the University of Cincinnati in 1968.

Rabbinic school
Upon her graduation, she was admitted to HUC-JIR's rabbinic school without undergoing a formal application process, being the only woman among 35 men. While still in rabbinical school, she received a great deal of attention from the media. In April 1971, she was the subject of an article in The New York Times, titled "Her Ambition Is to Become a Rabbi – And a Housewife", in which she stated: "'I'm not an active supporter of women's lib. ... I don't need it. But I do think the feminist movement is important because it is time for us to overcome psychological and emotional objections. We must fulfill our potential as creative individuals.'"

Despite opposition – many said she was at HUC-JIR to marry a rabbi and become a rebbetzin rather than to officiate as a rabbi – she became the first woman at Hebrew Union College to make it to ordination, an accomplishment she credits to her parents and to Rabbi Nelson Glueck, the college's president who died a few months before her ordination.

Her thesis for her Master of Arts in Hebrew Letters degree, "Historic and Changing Role of the Jewish Woman", published in 1975 under the title Judaism and the New Woman, highlighted the changing role of women in Jewish history and was meant to advance their emancipation in Jewish religious life.

It was only many years later that she learned her ordination certificate from HUC had different wording for her title than the certificates of men graduating with her. "It came as a shock to me," she noted. "When I was ordained I was told I would be getting an empty tube because they had forgotten to change the language to the feminine" on the ordination scroll. "I just accepted that. When I finally got it I thought the title, which they had changed to 'rav u'morah,' was what all my classmates got, too." In actuality, male candidates' certificates identified them by the Reform movement's traditional "morenu harav," or "our teacher the rabbi," while female candidates' certificates only used the term "rav u'morah," or "rabbi and teacher", up until 2016. After four years of deliberation, HUC decided to give women a choice of wording beginning in 2016, including the option to have the same wording as men.

Ordination
Priesand was ordained on June 3, 1972, by Glueck's successor as HUC-JIR's president Rabbi Alfred Gottschalk at the Plum Street Temple in Cincinnati, making her the first woman to be ordained as a rabbi in the United States and believed to be only the second woman ever to be formally ordained in the history of Judaism.

Gottschalk called the ordination of Priesand "historic", one that breaks stereotypes and allows "Jewish women to consider seeking the rabbinate" and a testament to Reform Judaism's efforts at achieving "equality of women in the congregation of the Lord". By acquiescing to women's ordination at a time of social and political changes in American life, the Reform movement portrayed itself as continuing its historic project of adapting Judaism to respond to modernity while simultaneously demonstrating its commitment to women's equality.

After her ordination, then member of Congress Bella Abzug arranged for her to deliver the opening prayer at the House of Representatives, making her the first Jewish woman to do so.

Rabbinical positions
Upon ordination, she was interviewed by some synagogues for her "public value, so they could say they were first", as she says, but others would not speak to her, and she was the last of her class to get a job. She was offered a position at Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in New York City, where she served for seven years under Rabbi Edward Klein, first as Assistant Rabbi and then as Associate Rabbi, leaving the congregation in 1979, when she realised that she would not succeed Klein as senior rabbi. Not able to find a full-time position, she served as part-time rabbi of Temple Beth El in Elizabeth, New Jersey and as Chaplain at Manhattan's Lenox Hill Hospital until 1981, when she became rabbi of Monmouth Reform Temple in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. She originally thought her "obligation was to get a bigger congregation", but rejected the traditional model which encourages rabbis to look for larger pulpits and remained at Monmouth Reform Temple, a congregation of 365 families, where she "forged a creative partnership with ... her congregation, acting upon her belief that a rabbi's primary task is to help Jews take responsibility for their Judaism".

In 1986 at Monmouth Reform Temple, she and cantor Ellen Sussman became the first all-women team of rabbi and cantor in any congregation. Also during her rabbinate, Monmouth Reform Temple created a Social Action Committee which launched a nationally recognized gun safety campaign (Please ASK, which was given an award in 2003 by the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism), was a leader in the fight against drunk driving, created a permanent Fund for the Homeless to support the work of Interfaith Neighbors, sponsored an annual food drive for The Center in Asbury Park, continued to host an annual Monmouth County arts festival, and instituted an annual "Mitzvah Day" of charitable volunteerism.

Documentary appearance
Priesand appeared in a 2005 documentary, titled And the Gates Opened: Women in the Rabbinate, which features stories of and interviews with her, rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, and rabbi Amy Eilberg.

Health issues
In 1987, Priesand was diagnosed with breast cancer, which struck again eight years later, and in 2003, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She was able to continue working during her treatments for breast cancer, but the thyroid cancer treatments forced her to take a three-month leave of absence. Her illness affected her rabbinate, making her "more sensitive and aware of the needs of others who were dealing with health crises", she said.

Organizational affiliations
Priesand has served on the board of every major institution of Reform Judaism, including the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the Union for Reform Judaism and the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. She is a member of Jewish Women International, Hadassah, the National Council of Jewish Women, the National Organization for Women and the National Breast Cancer Coalition. In her local community, she is an Honorary Vice President of the Jewish Federation of Greater Monmouth County and President of Interfaith Neighbors, an organization whose primary purpose is to provide rental assistance and support services for those who are homeless. She also chairs the Clergy Advisory Committee of Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey and serves on the board of the Holocaust, Genocide and Human Rights Education Center at Brookdale Community College, and the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County.

Retirement and current life
Priesand retired from Monmouth Reform Temple on June 30, 2006, after 25 years of service to that congregation. She explained her retirement, saying: "I'm retiring by choice, because I believe that rabbis should know when to leave and when it's time to inject 'newness' into synagogue life." She intends to remain "a part of the temple family" as rabbi emerita, adding "being here has been the fulfillment of my dream to be a congregational rabbi, which is why I went to rabbinic school in the first place." Upon her retirement, Monmouth Reform Temple set up the "Sally Priesand Endowment Fund for the Future" in her honor to preserve and protect the temple's legacy.

Priesand lives in Ocean Township, New Jersey, with her Boston Terrier, Shadow. She intends to establish a Monmouth County kollel, a center for adult Jewish study. Her hobbies include photography and abstract watercolor. She had her first solo exhibition in the Backman Gallery at HUC-JIR in New York in 2002, in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of her ordination, and exhibits annually in the Monmouth Festival of the Arts.

In 2007, she invited her female rabbinic colleagues of all denominations to join her in donating their professional and personal papers to the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati, Ohio, in order to document the history of women in the rabbinate. The first ever exhibit of the historical memorabilia of her career was displayed at the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County in the winter of 2010.

On December 6, 2010, at Temple Reyim in Newton, Massachusetts, Priesand and the other three first American ordained women rabbis of four denominations of American Judaism met for the first time in an event called "First Lights", videotaped by the Los Angeles-based Story Archive of Women Rabbis, a project which videotapes interviews with women rabbis from all streams of Judaism and archives their stories online. Priesand together with Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, the first Reconstructionist female rabbi ordained in 1974, Amy Eilberg, the first Conservative female rabbi ordained in 1985, and Sara Hurwitz (see below), lit Chanuka candles together with some 30 other women rabbis, and then spoke about their experiences.

40th anniversary of ordination
Priesand was honored in several events on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of her ordination in 2012. In March 2012, the Annual Convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis celebrated the 40th anniversary of women's ordination by calling Priesand to the Torah at the Monday morning prayer service; through May 2012, the Union for Reform Judaism was running a blog to celebrate "Forty Years of Women" in honor of the anniversary; and Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion honored her as special guest at the June 2, 2012 ordination ceremony at Plum Street Temple, during which 13 candidates were ordained – eight of them women. On the day of the anniversary on June 3, 2012, Priesand, Eisenberg Sasso, Eilberg, and Hurwitz met for a "Four First Women Rabbis" discussion at Monmouth Reform Temple for a celebration honoring the four first women rabbis ordained in North America in their respective denominations, and the 40th anniversary of Priesand's ordination.

After her 40th ordination anniversary
In 2014 Priesand was one of those who attended the ceremony when a memorial plaque to Regina Jonas, the first woman to be ordained as a rabbi, was unveiled at Theresienstadt in the Czech Republic, where Regina Jonas had been deported to and worked in for two years. There is a short documentary about the trip on which this plaque was unveiled, titled In the Footsteps of Regina Jonas, which includes Priesand.

50th anniversary of ordination
Two exhibits on the Cincinnati campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion marked the fiftieth anniversary of Priesand's ordination; Priesand herself was the keynote speaker at the opening reception for them. One of those exhibits was the art exhibit “Holy Sparks”, which featured 24 Jewish women artists, who had each created an artwork about a female rabbi who was a first in some way. Joan Roth created the artwork about Priesand. The other exhibit, called "Sally Priesand Paves the Way", featured "documents relating to Rabbi Sally J. Priesand's journey to becoming the first woman rabbi ordained in North America", and memorabilia and personal artifacts donated by Priesand.

The anniversary was also marked by a number of articles in various media outlets.

Writings
Priesand is the author of Judaism and the New Woman, and a contributor to Women Rabbis: Exploration and Celebration, and to A Treasury of Favorite Sermons by Leading American Rabbis. She also wrote the foreword to the book The Sacred Calling: Four Decades of Women in the Rabbinate, published in 2016, which contains one piece called "Letters from Hebrew Union College to Sally J. Priesand" and another called "The Ordination of Sally J. Priesand, A Historic Interview".

Awards and honors
In 1973, Priesand was awarded an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from Florida International University.

In 1979, the Supersisters trading card set was produced and distributed; card number 6 featured Priesand's name and picture.

From 1981 to 1983, Bonnie Tiburzi put on three “Women of Accomplishment” luncheons for the Wings Club honoring certain women, including Priesand.

In 1997, Priesand received an honorary doctor of divinity degree from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR). In the same year, the Rabbi Sally J. Priesand Visiting Professorship in Jewish Women's Studies was established in her honor at HUC-JIR.

In 2006, upon her retirement, Monmouth Reform Temple dedicated its sanctuary doors in her honor; they are inscribed with the following words, "פִּתְחוּ לִי שַׁעֲרֵי צֶדֶק אָבֹא בָם אוֹדֶה יָהּ Open the gates of righteousness for me that I may enter and praise God."

Also in 2006 upon her retirement, Monmouth Reform Temple set up the "Sally Priesand Endowment Fund for the Future" in her honor to preserve and protect the temple's legacy.

On April 23, 2009, she received the prestigious Elizabeth Blackwell Award given by Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York to women whose lives exemplify outstanding service to humanity. The award is named after Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell (1821–1910), the first woman in America to receive the Doctor of Medicine degree.

In 2010, in honor of its 125th anniversary, Good Housekeeping magazine named her one of "125 women who changed our world".

In 2023, Priesand became the first female rabbi to have her portrait featured in an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. That portrait was an inkjet print of a photograph from 2022 by Joan Roth.

The Rabbi Sally J. Priesand WRJ Award was created to honor the 45th anniversary of Priesand's ordination. The award is given out once every year to a graduating Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Cincinnati campus woman, chosen because she "exemplif[ies] the mission and values of WRJ and embod[ies] the qualities that Rabbi Priesand has exhibited throughout her career, including her clarity of vision, her commitment to excellence, her professionalism, her dedication to the continuity of Reform Judaism, her passion, and her perseverance.

The poem “Let my people go that we may serve You”, by Merle Feld, was commissioned by the Women's Rabbinic Network in honor of Priesand.

Talk:Economy of Africa

Ethiopian economy
The economy of Ethiopia is a mixed and transition economy with a large public sector. The government of Ethiopia is in the process of privatizing many of the state-owned businesses and moving toward a market economy. The banking, telecommunication and transportation sectors of the economy are dominated by government-owned companies.

Ethiopia has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and is Africa's second most populous country. Many properties owned by the government during the previous regime have now been privatized or are in the process of privatization and the liberalization of its financial sector in the near future. However, certain sectors such as telecommunications, financial and insurance services, air and land transportation services, and retail, are considered as strategic sectors and are expected to remain under state control for the foreseeable future. Almost 50% of Ethiopia's population is under the age of 18. Even though education enrolment at primary and tertiary level has increased significantly, job creation has not caught up with the increased output from educational institutes. The country must create hundreds of thousands of jobs every year just to keep up with population growth. Sufi Hussein (talk) 06:51, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Caddo

Population
Recently and anonymously added "circa 1500: 200,000". That may be true, but doesn't seem to come from any of the references given. Is there some authority for this? -- Jmabel|Talk 18:55, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

Caddo Nation vs. Caddo Tribe
The article says that the Caddo are considering changing their name to Caddo Nation of Oklahoma from Caddo Tribe of Oklahoma. Haven't they already done this? I've got a license plate that says Caddo Nation, and their website is www.caddonation-nsn.gov.

Pronunciation?
From the spelling I would assume it's pronounced ['k&doU] (using the Kirshenbaum version of ASCII-IPA; that is, CAD-dough), but there's a street named Caddo something-or-other in a town in Texas, and the residents apparently say ['keIdoU] (KAY-dough). --Trovatore 06:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Its pronounced pronounced (CAD-dough). I've never heard (KAY-dough). I'm from Texas.

Fourche-maline
the article on the fourche-maline river states that the caddoan culture derived from the fourche-maline culture. i'm not sufficiently knowledgeable to be confident in adding that to this article, but it seems that this fact should be added here or removed from the other article.Toyokuni3 (talk) 18:04, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

 * In Caddo mythology, four monsters grew in size and power until they touched the sky. At that time, a man heard a voice telling him to plant a hollow reed.  He did so, and the reed grew very big very quickly.  The man entered the reed with his wife and pairs of all good animals.  Waters rose, and covered everything but the top of the reed and the heads of the monsters. A turtle then killed the monsters by digging under them and uprooting them. The waters subsided, and winds dried the earth.

Adding Information
Hey everyone, I am writing to let y'all know that I am planning to add to the page. Through research, I have found information about the culture of the Caddo Nation that shows that women had an important role in the arts of the tribe. For example, the women made most of the pottery and were involved in many dancing rituals. I should be adding this information within the next week depending on approval of Nation head.Stayhydrated (talk) 18:10, 25 June 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stayhydrated (talk • contribs) 16:20, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

River Dove, central England

The River Dove (, traditionally ) is the principal river of the southwestern Peak District, in the Midlands of England, and is around 72 km in length. It rises on Axe Edge Moor near Buxton and flows generally south to its confluence with the River Trent at Newton Solney. From there, its waters reach the North Sea via the Humber Estuary. For almost its entire course it forms the boundary between the counties of Staffordshire (to the west) and Derbyshire (to the east). The river meanders past Longnor and Hartington and cuts through a set of deep limestone gorges, Beresford Dale, Wolfscote Dale, Milldale and Dovedale.

The river is a famous trout stream. Charles Cotton's Fishing House, which was the inspiration for Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler, stands in the woods by the river near Hartington.

The river's name is now usually pronounced to rhyme with "love", but its original pronunciation rhymed with "rove". This pronunciation is still used by some residents of the lower reaches of the river.

Dovedale

From Hartington to its confluence with the River Manifold at Ilam, the river flows through a series of scenic limestone valleys, known collectively as Dovedale. Dovedale is also particularly used for the name of that section between the stepping stones under Thorpe Cloud and Milldale. The Dovedale gorge is considered so scenic that it attracts a million visitors a year. Good riverside paths make the whole route accessible to walkers.

Much of the dale is in the ownership of the National Trust, being part of their South Peak Estate. Dovedale itself was acquired in 1934, with successive properties being added until 1938, and Wolfscote Dale in 1948. Dovedale was declared a national nature reserve in 2006.

Dovedale's attractions include rock pillars such as Ilam Rock, Viator's Bridge, and the limestone features Lovers' Leap and Reynard's Cave.

Lower Dove
Once the river leaves Dovedale it combines with the Manifold and enters a wider valley near Thorpe. The valley increases in size as the river continues south to reach Mapleton and then Mayfield, where it is crossed by the medieval Hanging Bridge. At this point it is joined by the Bentley Brook, and then nearby at Church Mayfield, by the Henmore Brook.

The Dove now flows in a south-westerly direction, passing Norbury and Ellastone, where it turns south until it reaches Rocester. To the south of the village, at Combridge it is joined by its largest tributary the River Churnet. As it reaches the ancient Dove Bridge, it is joined by the River Tean, the river now meandering through a wide valley which turns east as it passes between Doveridge and Uttoxeter; the only town along its length.

Beyond this point riverside communities, such as Marchington, Sudbury and Scropton, tend to be located at the edge of the valley; although the village of Hatton encroaches across the valley floor, where it is linked by a bridge to Tutbury whose Castle overlooks the crossing. The river continues east passing the villages of Marston, Rolleston on Dove and Egginton, where it is joined by its last tributary, the Hilton Brook. The river is divided at this point, with some flow passing through the mill fleam at Clay Mills, the two arms rejoin downstream of the A38 road bridge and Monks Bridge, and then to the south, the Dove reaches its confluence with the River Trent, at Newton Solney.

Tributaries
Alphabetical list of tributaries, extracted from the Water Framework Directive list of water bodies for the River Dove:

 * Alders Brook which joins the Dove near Rocester
 * Bentley Brook
 * River Churnet
 * Foston Brook which joins the Dove near Rocester
 * Henmore Brook
 * Hilton Brook
 * River Manifold
 * Marchington Brook which joins the Dove near Marchington
 * Marston Brook which joins the Dove near Marchington
 * Picknall Brook which joins the Dove near Uttoxeter
 * Rolleston Brook which joins the Dove near Rolleston on Dove
 * River Tean which joins the Dove near Uttoxeter
 * Tit Brook which joins the Dove near Ellastone

Murray Cotterill

Murray Cotterill (June 27, 1913 – February 23, 1995) was a Canadian trade union activist and organizer for the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF).

In the 1930s, Cotterill was one of the organisers of the Co-operative Commonwealth Youth Movement. In the 1940s he was a CCF municipal candidate in Toronto and, in 1942, ran for the leadership of the Ontario CCF, losing to Ted Jolliffe. He was also an aide to Charles Millard in organizing the Steel Workers Organizing Committee and was active in rooting out Communists in the fledgling Steelworkers union and was the union's public relations director for many years. Cotterill was also president of the Toronto Labour Council of the Canadian Congress of Labour (one of two labour councils in the city) in the late 1940s. He worked as a labour relations specialist for the Canadian Congress of Labour and its successor the Canadian Labour Congress and was for a time in the 1940s and 1950s the director of the CCL's national Political Action Committee, a position he used to encourage closer ties between the labour movement and the CCF. Cotterill was also the leading force in the OFL's Political Action Committee which helped create an informal alliance between the CCF and the labour movement that later led to the formation of the New Democratic Party as a formal CLC-CCF project.

In the 1963 provincial election he was the NDP's candidate in the suburban Toronto riding of Lakeshore losing to Progressive Conservative Alan Eagleson.

In late 1963, Cotterill was involved with what were described as "secret" negotiations with John Wintermeyer, outgoing leader of the Ontario Liberal Party and various federal Liberals in pursuit of co-operation between the two parties and even their eventual fusion. Cotterill was reportedly offered the vice-presidency of the Ontario Liberal Party but declined. The talks ended due to the opposition of Ontario NDP leader Donald C. MacDonald. Several leading Ontario Liberals also came out against the talks when they learned of them.

From 1940 until his retirement in 1972, Cotterill worked as public relations director of the Canadian Steelworkers and was also an occasional columnist for the Toronto Star. He was a vocal opponent of the Waffle, a left-wing faction within the NDP in the early 1970s and called for the group to be disbanded or expelled from the party.

In retirement, Cotterill moved to Saskatchewan and spent two years working for the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party government of Allan Blakeney.
