No problem - I figured it was something like that. -- Marj 18:41, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Ohmefantanyl
Yeah I wasn't quite sure what to do about that. User:Nuklear had done a lot of work on various topics that I'm familiar with such as phenyltropane and fentanyl derivatives, but it got deleted from the main articles on the grounds that it was too complex for a general audience and much of it was plagarised. I was going to just rewrite the plagarised stuff to make it acceptable as he had included many good references and I felt the material added to wikipedia significantly, but since the consensus was that it was too complex for regular people to understand (which is stupid in my opinion since most people looking at these articles are likely to have an interest in neuropharmacology, structure-activity relationships etc) I felt that the best compromise was to leave the articles as short summaries and just link to the full articles which had been moved to his userspace. He got quite disheartened by having all his edits deleted and has now stopped editing so I guess its up to us to do something with. At the moment I've just been trying to go through and make pages for opioids and depressants that don't have pages at all yet, so it will be quite some time till I finish all those and get around to improving pages that already exist! But if you want to expand the ohmefentanyl page then go for it, I agree that its probably not appropriate for it to link to a page thats in userspace but if you look through the history of the pages on his userspace there's a lot of good material that would be entirely suitable once re-edited...Meodipt 10:58, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

1-butyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole
This compound is also known as JWH-073 (Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2000; 60:133–140).

I have written pages for some of the other more notable JWH compounds, as well as JWH-018, its 4-methoxy analogue JWH-081 is also worth a mention. There are of course heaps of other compounds from this family but many of them don't even have code numbers assigned, so are probably not notable enough to deserve their own pages yet. The pages are just stubs for now so could probably do with expanding further.Meodipt (talk) 06:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

SP-106
Hi St3vo. The compound SP-106, also known as Abbott 40656 was ultimately given the common name nabitan. If you can find out any more information about it then the page could certainly do with expanding, but there are so many other cannabinoid compounds of note that don't even have pages yet! I have expanded the cannabinoids template and put links to some of the compounds that seem to have been more widely used but will take a while to make pages for them all...Meodipt (talk) 12:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Taranabant
Hi St3vo. Your structure for taranabant is incorrect, the nitrile group is the wrong way round (should be -C≡N not -N+≡C-). I'm not sure how to replace the image as it is from wikimedia commons and doesn't give me an option to upload a new version, but it would be good if you could upload a correct version. Nice find by the way, I hadn't come across that compound myself! Meodipt (talk) 03:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah the CB1 inverse agonists seem to have too harsh a side effect profile to be much good as anorectics judging by the post-marketing results from rimonabant, although perhaps they might show more promise as anti-addictive drugs. I suspect weak partial agonists at CB1 will be an area we will see much more growth in though, especially for applications like treating neuropathic pain that neither traditional opoids or NSAIDs deal with effectively. Lots of potential in this area for sure! Meodipt (talk) 09:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Page unprotection?
Hi there, I've raised the possibility of unprotecting the tamazepam page here. What are your thoughts? Tim Vickers (talk) 17:04, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I've unprotected it, please edit slowly. I'd recommend redrafting sections one at a time on the talkpage, like we're doing with the tolerance one at the moment. Tim Vickers (talk) 21:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Temazepam
Did some cleanup towards improved Pharmacology chapter. Could you please take a look? There are still open points in Pharmacology, see annotated proposal on talk page. Could you comment? Also I have left several discussion points on the talk page. Could you comment them too? I am concerned that the original editors do not participate in the discussion. 70.137.161.241 (talk) 00:10, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Weaponised cannabinoids
Hi there I noticed you mentioned interest in this, I was thinking about writing some stuff on it myself once my exams are over. The main compound investigated by Edgewood Arsenal for this purpose was DMHP, the reason it has several different EA- code numbers is because the three asymmetric carbons gives DMHP eight possible stereoisomers, which apparently vary quite substantially in potency. So most of the work they did used either THC itself, or various isomers of DMHP, and I was planning to expand the DMHP page to reflect this. The main military interest was apparently because DMHP produces pronounced hypotension as well as the expected sedation, but with fairly low toxicity. Theres a lot of information here if you are interested. Meodipt (talk) 06:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Finally got around to expanding this a bit...Meodipt (talk) 11:41, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Opioid SAR question
Hi St3vo. With the phenanthrene opioids it would be most accurate to say that the free 3-OH group significantly boosts μ-opioid binding and activity, but is not absolutely required for it. You are correct that in general, compounds with a free OH are much more potent, and when the OH is masked (as in codeine) then the activity is substantially reduced, in the case of codeine to such an extent that it is almost entirely inactive and relies upon its demethylation to morphine for its analgesic effect (although note that codeine does have some direct actions such as on peripheral histamine release).

However when the molecule has other characteristics which give it high μ-opioid binding affinity, then this may be sufficient to give it intrinsic activity even with the 3-OH group masked or removed. With oxycodone for instance the 14-OH group and 6-ketone boost activity sufficiently that oxycodone is active in its own right, and indeed only a very small percentage is converted to oxymorphone and this is not thought to be a major component of its action. With hydrocodone on the other hand its a bit more controversial, it does have some intrinsic activity but not enough to really explain its analgesic potency, and so the evidence suggests that demethylation to hydromorphone probably is important for its action to some extent. There are even examples of active compounds where the 3-OH is entirely absent; N-Methylmorphinan for instance (which can be regarded as 3-desoxy-levorphanol) is almost as potent an opioid agonist as morphine despite having no 3-OH group at all.

Also its important to note that binding affinity is not the whole story, you also have to consider pharmacokinetics. With oxycodone and hydrocodone for instance, they may be significantly less potent than their O-demethylated counterparts, but their oral bioavailability is far higher - from memory I believe the oral bioavailability of oxycodone is around 80-90% whereas oxymorphone it is only 20% - so this means that while oxymorphone and hydromorphone are much more powerful pain relievers when given IV in a hospital setting for instance, the less potent oxycodone and hydrocodone are more versatile drugs due to the strong preference for convenient oral dosage forms in outpatient treatment.

For some good reading material in this area I recommend the reviews by Paul Janssen and Daniel Lednicer who have both written textbooks summarising the history of opioid SAR research in some detail. Meodipt (talk) 21:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Propylhexedrine vs methamphetamine
If you have any input, especially with regards to pharmacology, feel free to add to the discussion on my talk page. DMacks (talk) 20:25, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

For my answer and asking for comments, see DMacks user page. Greetings from Anon 70.137. Besides I think that the concept of "substantial similarity" of the analog act is unscientific. See my comments on propylhexedrine in this light too. 70.137.173.82 (talk) 08:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Temazepam, now BLOCKED
After 2 reverts the user w. the generic pills picture warned me next edit is 3rr and reported me as IPVandal at the same time. I got blocked for 3 days. I rebooted and complained, then it was CIVILITY, reduced to 31 hours, plus additional block for block evasion. I have now complained again. Admin is Aitias. Somebody has to look into that. Probably I get blocked now for evading the block evasion block. Sorry, I am doing really tedious edits, incl database searches, proofreading against sources and citecheck. Without my work the article would look like crap. And I am still continuously reverted by wild running vandal hunters, based on a hunch, because I am anon. When I got reverted the n-th time as vandalism in a perfectly fine edit from proofreading I reverted back, saying reinstating perfectly fine edits from proofreading @$$hole. Now that INCIVIL I admit. But I don't have the nerve for that kindergarten. 70.137.146.36 (talk) 07:55, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I do thank you for all your hard work on the article, and I agree that you are unfairly targeted for being anon, which is your right. This discrimination is a product of so many editors fighting real IP vandals all day, and I doubt it'll go away any time soon. You have to agree, though, that sometimes your confrontational responses (the "asshole" bit, for instance) have played a role too; established editors here take the civility thing very seriously and in the future a lot of this could be solved by simply sticking to the facts (eg. such and such a statement was alarmist and was unsupported by the literature cited, etc.) Please understand I agree with your edits, it's just all in how you represent them, especially knowing that you'll likely be discriminated against for not being registered. Try not to give them a reason to do so. I'll see you on the other side of the block. St3vo (talk) 00:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I thank you for the good words, buddy. We really improved that article a lot, and I know you have been skeptical about my work first. But you see it ended up as a rational article, cleared of sensationalism and related undue weight for the fringe aspects, cleared of warped claims based on misrepresentations. The truth is in real life I am as dry as a bone and as sober and boring as a retired engineer/mathematician can be. I am doing this editing to learn and discuss topics outside my professional field. That is good for mental training and plasticity. That is also how I developed from a laboratory helper electrician. There are marked cultural differences between old Europeans and young Americans. In particular the young Americans are in a sense sincere and one-dimensional and take every frivolity at face value. They also are vulnerable and make a fuss out of every thing. If I tell an old British guy he has to take care not to be too anal with his adminazi behavior, or he will be the Freisler of Wikiland, or more precisely he will turn Wikiland into Freislerland and his vandal hunters will probably be Blockwarts of Wikiland, then the British guy thinks I have a good humor and I am a jolly good fellow. And if I greet him with Wieki-Heil after that he laughs his ass off. Look at the Fawlty Towers. In case of your adminazi cry-babies they bring a whole department of admins together for a half day to hunt me down and reverse my badwords etc etc. They are just too anal and it absolutely makes no sense. (are the guys programmed in Prolog?) With that mindset I could drive them into a denial of service attack, when working from a distributed network. That is what I meant with kindergarten. It is only now, after a dozen years as immigrant, that I realize how foreign the culture is to me, and how foreign I am in this country. But it is probably also a generation problem. I know talk pages are for the Wikipedia, but I think they are also to connect between cultures. 70.137.184.193 (talk) 09:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

To be precise, I think for quite some time that they must be either disformed by a narrow education, or they are autists, or they are avatars of an artificial intelligence program. Because they not only take things at face value, missing methaphoric meaning, but they sometimes miss the whole semantic of what I am saying and jump on trigger-words. For some time I have taken this as an outgrowth of political correctness, but if it is really only this, then something is really wrong with them. They really behave like talking heads. Is the American system like that today? The Americans of 1970 were different. 70.137.184.193 (talk) 10:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

In particular the disparity between scientific knowledge base and semantic processing is what reminds me most of autists or AI avatars. 70.137.184.193 (talk) 10:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

But the observed peculiarities imo neither fit Kanner type nor Asperger type, maybe remotely some hyperlexia. Recently I am tending away from autistic formenkreis toward AI. Another peculiarity I noticed is that some admins seem to factor conjunctions in a right associative way, as if parsing bottom up on longest match. They understand language and derived semantics in a similar way as a Floyd production parser would, with semantic action on reduction from RIGHT to LEFT! And they have misdecode recognizing subjunctive forms, in particular implied subjunctive forms. This sounds remotely as if dealing with tlkrs 'f Hbrw 'r 'thr smtc lngs, or mr lkly lk avtmtc prsrs prbl wrtn b' 'srl prgrmrs. Ww! 't xplns lt. 70.137.147.62 (talk) 07:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe the anonymous IP is referring to me, per this comment left on my talk page (either that or the anonymous IP has an obsession with this stuff - which is, I grant, entirely possible). I have a few points to make regarding this:
 * I reverted the anonymous IP's edit to Carfentanil because they removed information they deemed incorrect without making any effort to correct it.
 * I am not an admin, as has been explained to the anonymous IP here.
 * I have no comment to make regarding my linguistic skills or whether or not I'm using automated parsers to decipher Wikipedia posts.
 * This IP has been at this nonsense for some time now.

St3vo, as you said, we are all supposed to be friends here, as we are working towards a common goal. Only the last conversations with DougieWII didn't sound like that and were no real discussion. he also turned me in for "IP vandalism", "page Blanking", "block evasion" and a false claim of "3rr" and "edit warring". This didn't sound like the academic dispute I would have expected, indeed it did sound like somebody kicking under the belt and having no manners and education at all. I cannot see how I can contribute in this environment, as I had expected WP to be a largely academic community. So I say good bye for the moment and wish you all the best for graduate school. 70.137.151.167 (talk) 10:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

The Shambles

The Shambles is a historic street in York, England, featuring preserved medieval buildings, some dating back as far as the 14th century. The street is narrow, with many timber-framed buildings with jettied floors that overhang the street by several feet. It was once known as The Great Flesh Shambles, probably from the Anglo-Saxon Fleshammels (literally flesh-shelves), the word for the shelves that butchers used to display their meat. In 1885, thirty-one butchers' shops were located along the street, but none remain today.

Etymology
"Shambles" is an obsolete term for an open-air slaughterhouse and meat market. Streets of that name were so called from having been the sites on which butchers killed and dressed animals for consumption (One source suggests that the term derives from "Shammel", an Anglo-Saxon word for shelves that stores used to display their wares, while another indicates that by AD 971 "shamble" meant a 'bench for the sale of goods' and by 1305, a 'stall for the sale of meat'.).

The area around the Shambles was known as Marketshire into the 14th century and included the streets of the Shambles and Pavement. The Shambles itself had several names: by 1240 it was referred to as Haymongergate, and it was called Nedlergate in 1394, both thought to be references to other trades and crafts which took place in the street. In addition to these names, by 1426 it had become more commonly known as The Great Flesh Shambles, which was eventually shortened to its current name.

There are streets named "The Shambles", or "Shambles Street", in other UK towns and cities, including Barnsley, Bradford on Avon, Chesterfield, Guildford, Swansea, Chippenham, Manchester, Sevenoaks, Whitby, Worcester and Armagh. There is also a Fishamble Street in Dublin, Ireland.

History
Although not named in the Domesday Book of 1086, it has been identified through an entry which lists two butchers' stalls near the church of St Crux (ii bancos in macello nr ecclesiam St Crucis) being in the ownership of the Count of Mortain.

The naming of the street after butcher stalls has stuck since the 14th century because the association of the street with butchers has been a large part of its history and character. This was because of a continuous tradition of butchers occupying the street that was upheld for centuries. This is probably in large part due to the favourable architecture of the street towards butcher practices of centuries past. The rears of the shops were slaughterhouses and the fact the buildings shade the narrow street from direct sunlight meant that the meat on display could stay fresh for longer. Also, when butchering took place, the guts, offal and blood were thrown into the street runnels that had a natural slope which helped it wash away after rain. These butchering practices long predated basic modern standards of hygiene and the street would have been incredibly unhygienic in these days. The last butcher shops on the street closed in the early 20th century and although the butchers have now vanished, a number of the shops on the street still have meat-hooks hanging outside and, below them, shelves on which meat was displayed. The shops include restaurants and shops as well as a bookshop and a bakery.

In medieval times, many streets in York had a similar appearance to the Shambles, such as The Water Lanes. The Shambles preserves a large amount of original medieval-built fabric, with many buildings dating from circa 1350–1475. Along with this, the picturesque qualities of the narrow street with its timber-framed jettied houses have meant that, since as early as the 19th century, it has been recognised as a major attraction of the city of York.

The 1940s and 1950s were a period when the Shambles was subject to a lot of change. After the Second World War, the street was targeted by city planners who wanted to make improvements to the buildings which by that time were in urgent need of restoration. York City Council purchased numerous properties from private owners and, during the 1950s, they extensively altered and rebuilt many buildings and demolished large sections of the area, including the entirety of Little Shambles, a short street that led west off the centre which was considered to be beyond repair. A chapel called Holy Trinity Christ Church was at the heart of King's Square until it was demolished in 1937. Today, some of these restorations are seen as insensitive, since a great deal of historic fabric, including slaughterhouses and outbuildings at the rear of the properties, was demolished. The Yorkshire Architectural and York Archaeological Society's annual report of 1949 contains plans of The Shambles showing the buildings to be removed.

There are five "snickelways" that lead off the Shambles because they used to be small alleyways in the backs of the buildings, but since these back buildings were demolished in the 1950s, they now open out onto a big open space with market stalls known as Shambles Market. The market was previously known as Newgate Market, after the street on which it is located, but was renamed in 2015.

The Shambles is one of a number of locations, along with streets in Chepstow, Edinburgh, Exeter and London, for which claims have been made to have been the inspiration for Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter franchise. Since 2017, four wizard-themed shops have opened in the street; however, the author, J. K. Rowling, has denied this, stating that she had never been to The Shambles.

Notable buildings
Almost all the buildings on the street are listed. On the east side, 1 Shambles is timber-framed and probably 14th century; 2 Shambles is early 18th century; and 3–5 Shambles are all 19th century, one initially serving as the former Shoulder of Mutton pub. 6 Shambles is late 18th century, with a 20th-century renovation and shopfront. 7–8 Shambles are late and early 15th century, respectively; and 9 Shambles is also 15th century. 10–11 Shambles originated as one 15th-century house; and 12 Shambles has some parts probably dating from the 14th century. 13 Shambles is early 16th century, while 14 Shambles was originally timber-framed but of unclear date. 19 Shambles was built in the early 16th century; 20 Shambles is mid-18th century; and 21–23 Shambles were each built in the early 18th century. At the end of the street is the parish room of St Crux.

On the west side, 27–28 Shambles were built in the early 19th century; 30 Shambles is 18th-century but largely rebuilt in 1952; and 31–33 Shambles were built as a terrace in about 1436.

Among the structures of The Shambles is a shrine to Saint Margaret Clitherow, who was married to a butcher who owned and lived in a shop in the street. Her home is thought to have been number 10 Shambles, on the opposite side of the street to the shrine, at number 35, which has a priest hole fireplace. These are also listed. 37–38 Shambles are late-15th century; and 39 Shambles includes a 15th-century timber frame. 40 Shambles is early-18th century; 41–42 Shambles is 15th century; and 43 Shambles was built in 1775. 44 Shambles is 15th century; 45 Shambles is early-18th century; and 46–47 Shambles were built in about 1740.

An adult high school but ultimately still just another school. Mandel 18:43, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - it was decided in September that the Ottawa schools project could continue. Old debate. - SimonP 21:56, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link. But I certainly don't read that debate that way. It is a debate on a particular article (one that I voted to keep, by the way). I do not see anything resembling policy or decision on "the Ottawa schools project" in general. Where do you see this? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 23:29, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. As an article that gives virtually no information beyond what is in the article title, it would even be a speedy deletion candidate under a criterion that was recently proposed (though not accepted). In other words, it is not a speedy deletion candidate, but it borders on it. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 23:29, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: I certainly don't agree with a school project in main article space. I see a day when we take the materials that consistently violate the main deletion rules and allow them to propser in sister projects, but that day hasn't arrived, and the debate is over the article space.  Things have to be notable, and, for me, just another school is interchangeable with another. Geogre 01:44, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: if the Adult High School (Ottawa) was actually the name of a kindergarten in Vancouver, it would be notable.
 * Delete. There is no policy that every school in Ottawa could be kept.  RickK 06:10, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
 * Conditiona delete. Would vote to merge and redirect if schools of ottawa page created to devour these stubs. This one looks familiar though, was it nominated before? Cool Hand Luke (Communicate!)  07:56, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment I must have been punchy from looking at too many school articles—are they really being created in good faith or is someone trying to disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point?—and too angry at the idea of creating an article with no more information that this. I woke up and realized:
 * I've never heard of a high school specifically for adults before.
 * If this is a unique Ottawa institution with an interesting background it could potentially merit an article. If adult high schools are a feature of the Canadian school system then an article on Adult high schools could be in order. If the name of the high school is a euphemism for something, that is worth an explanation somewhere (but not a whole article). Anyway I still think the article should not be kept in its current form but am open to the idea that it might be notable. So... changing vote to:

 * Delete unless article expanded and notability established prior to expiration of VfD. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 09:52, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete unless someone at least tries to establish non-speculative notability. [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 00:57, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep no need to bring this up every few months. If something isn't deleted the first time, it's not going get deleted this time. Earl Andrew 04:10, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * ???? Are you saying this has been on VfD before and survived? I don't see any previous VfD listing in the history. What do you mean? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 09:45, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Well not this particular page, but similar pages. Earl Andrew 03:00, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Count in 3 more delete votes from Improv, WOT and Vina. See above. Mandel 09:20, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Jayjg 16:43, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * C Might be notable, but for the love of $DEITY say something useful about the place. Chris 03:01, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - factual, verifiable entry. Mark Richards 17:12, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep this. Schools are notable. Notability is not a deletion criteria. Intrigue 21:14, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Slaughterhouse

Pork Plant Clarification (FYI)
To answer a previous question, the USDA does allow downer pigs to be slaughtered.

Also, regarding design considerations... There have been some recent changes in design concepts for the movement of pigs into stunning systems. New designs have eliminated single-file corrals and have instead implemented a type of 'batch processing' method which moves small groups (about 8 for CO2 stunning--depends on machine design) of pig into the stunning area. This greatly reduces the stress level of the animal before stunning. We also eliminated prods and now use an automated herding system. I have seen the new Butina dual backloaders in action (CO2 stunning system) and it is much better than the old single-file system we replaced. In fact, to effectively pass an animal stress audit, you about have to eliminate single-file herding and prodding.

AC

Etymology
The OD of Etymology doesn't corroborate the etymology offered for "Shambles," and the point of the passage seems to be to editorialize about slaughter, not to provide useful information. I cut it. (Ethan Mitchell, Feb 25, 2006)

NPOV
This whole article smacks of a vegetarian/vegan wet dream, sure they'd all like to ban meat production first off, but does this article need to reflect that? How about some actual reality in the article, to give it some balance? ZL3XD (talk) 09:56, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It does seem rather strange that an article about something would include a footer full of links to things that oppose it, and none to anything actually related to the meat industry. It also included veganism in the "see also" section, which seems rather odd. The article should be focusing on slaughterhouses, not what certain people think about slaughterhouses. - Alltat (talk) 17:40, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Oops

Haughmond Hill

Haughmond Hill is a small, shallow hill in the English county of Shropshire. It is covered by woodland for the most part, although there is an open cast quarry (for stone aggregates) in use. Its proximity to the town of Shrewsbury has meant that it has become something of a forest park, with guided paths, car parking and picnic areas maintained in places. The rocky summit overlooks countryside and Shrewsbury itself.

Haughmond Hill is made up of ancient turbidite sediments from the late Precambrian era which once cascaded off the edge of a continent into the ocean that surrounded it.

The villages of Uffington and Upton Magna lie below and the B5062, Shrewsbury to Newport, road runs through the northern half of the woodland.

Deer can be found in the woods, which are mixed deciduous/coniferous and are to some extent used for forestry to this day.

The hill has several dubious connections with the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. Queen Eleanor's Bower is a small enclosure on the hill from which the wife of Henry IV of England supposedly watched the battle's progress (although neither of his wives were named Eleanor). Finally, the "bosky hill" mentioned in Act V Scene i of Shakespeare's Henry IV part 1 is almost certainly Haughmond, which looms to the east of the battlefield:

How bloodily the sun begins to peer

Above yon bosky hill?

The day looks pale

At his distemperature.

Also nearby is Haughmond Abbey, now a ruin, and Ebury Hill, a prehistoric fort. The summit has the ruins of Haughmond Castle, a folly originally built about 1780 that collapsed in 1931.

Talk:Texas Towers

Number of towers
Internet accounts indicate that only three Texas Towers (TT2, TT3, TT4) were ever built not four.

Locations
I have changed the location details of TT3 and TT4 to correct them. There is some confusion because the original documentation and publications number the site locations from 1 to 5, but apart from TT2 which was located at site 2, the others were given tower numbers that were different from the original site numbers. This article had given for TT3 and TT4, the details for locations 3 and 4 (which were the proposed locations of TT1 and TT5). I trust that this is now correct.
 * I've added location details for the towers but had a similar problem to you in that It is difficult to de-cipher which tower went where.Can you add the correct tower number to the two entries for 1 and 5. Thanks.Petebutt (talk) 08:27, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

The locations were as follows:-
 * Location 1 - Nantucket Shoal - became TT3.
 * Location 2 - George's Shoal - became TT2.
 * Location 3 - Cashes Ledge - would have been TT1.
 * Location 4 - Brown's Bank - would have been TT5.
 * Location 5 - Un-named Shoal - became TT4.

This is all explained at http://www.texastower.com/history_new.htm 82.26.57.60 (talk) 23:54, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Iraqi sovereignty during the Iraq War

Many Wikipedia articles are written from the point of view that Iraq is not a sovereign nation but is under US occupation. This is not a "fact", but just a POV.

Many news sources refer to the period of occupation as having ended:

Taipei Times:
 * Iraq regained its sovereignty in June

USA Today:
 * elections planned for January. Those elections are key to cementing Iraqi sovereignty and beginning the transition from U.S. to Iraqi control over security.

Washington Post:
 * the end of June, when the United States passed sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government.

ABC News: Iraqi officials have cited Samarra as an example of how U.S. and government forces can take control of restive towns and cities which became insurgent strongholds after the Americans transferred sovereignty back to the Iraqis on June 28.

I need to rewrite this sometime. Someone feel free to look over my addition to it and make it more - introduction sounding. JG of Borg 16:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Comet Donati

 * There are three Donati comets: C/1855 L1 (a.k.a. 1855 II), C/1858 L1 (this one), and C/1864 R1 (a.k.a. 1864 I).

Comet Donati, or Donati's Comet, formally designated C/1858 L1 and 1858 VI, is a long-period comet named after the Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Donati who first observed it on June 2, 1858. After the Great Comet of 1811, it was the most brilliant comet that appeared in the 19th century. It was also the first comet to be photographed.

Discovery and observations
Donati first observed the comet on 2 June from the Florence Observatory: it was initially visible as a small nebula-like object of magnitude 7 near the "head" of Leo. By mid-August it had brightened sufficiently to be visible to the naked eye.

In September it passed into Ursa Major. For much of its apparition it occupied a unique position (among great comets) in the sky and was particularly well placed for Northern Hemisphere viewers.

It was nearest the Earth on October 10, 1858, and for much of October was a brilliant object with a long, scimitar-like dust tail and prominent gas tail. It remained a naked-eye object until November for Southern Hemisphere observers. The final observation was by William Mann, chief assistant at the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope, who detected it as a faint nebulosity on March 4, 1859.

During its apparition the comet was particularly closely studied by the astronomer George Phillips Bond and his father William Cranch Bond. G. P. Bond incorporated these observations and those of many other astronomers into a monograph, "An Account of the Great Comet of 1858", which remains his most important scientific work and for which he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society, being the first American to receive the award.

Comet photographed
Donati's Comet was successfully photographed on September 27 by W. Usherwood, a portrait photographer at Walton-on-the-Hill, Surrey, using a 7-second exposure with an 2.4 portrait lens, the first time a comet had been photographed. Usherwood's photograph, which has not survived, showed the bright region around the comet's nucleus and a part of the tail. G.P. Bond also successfully photographed the comet on September 28 at Harvard College Observatory, the first comet photograph through a telescope. He made several attempts with increasing exposure times, finally achieving a discernible image. He later wrote, "only the nucleus and a little nebulosity 15" in diameter acted on the plate in an exposure of six minutes".

Orbital calculations
Orbits for the comet were calculated by Friedrich Emil von Asten and George William Hill, the latter's based on nearly 1000 positions. The comet had an orbital inclination of 116.9°. With an epoch 2200 barycentric orbital period approximated at 1739 years, it is estimated that Donati's Comet will not be seen passing by Earth again until somewhere around the year 3600. , JPL Horizons estimates that the comet is 147 AU from the Sun and continuing to move away from the Sun at 2.4 km/s.

In art and culture

Donati's Comet is considered to be one of the most beautiful comets observed, and was one of the brightest of the century, making a strong impression both on artists and the general public. After a prior period of hysteria on the subject of comets, especially in Paris (caused partly by incorrect calculations by John Russell Hind which suggested that one would strike the Earth in June 1857) Donati's Comet went on to be the most-observed of the century due to its excellent visibility in dark skies for Northern Hemisphere viewers, particularly in Europe, and fine weather in September and October. William Henry Smyth, an English astronomer, recalled it as "one of the most beautiful objects that I have ever seen". Donati himself, a relatively obscure figure, was propelled to the status of an astronomical hero, and the comet helped cultivate a general enthusiasm for astronomy among the public.

Donati's Comet appears as a streak and star in the early evening sky of a painting by William Dyce, Pegwell Bay, Kent – a Recollection of October 5th 1858. It was featured in a number of sketches and at least one painting by William Turner of Oxford, and in a painting, "The Comet of 1858, as seen from the Heights of Dartmoor", by Samuel Palmer. The Comet at Yell'ham, a 1902 poem by Thomas Hardy, was inspired by his recollections of Donati's Comet.

Abraham Lincoln, then a candidate for a seat in the U.S. Senate, sat up on the porch of his hotel in Jonesboro, Illinois, to see "Donti's Comet" on September 14, 1858, the night before the third of his historic debates with Stephen Douglas.

In his journals of the Malay Archipelago, naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace writes of seeing the comet in October 1858 off the island of Tidore in Indonesia. "I observed what seemed a fire of remarkable whiteness on the very summit of the hill... the magnificent comet which was at the same time, astonishing all Europe. The nucleus presented to the naked eye a distinct disc of brilliant white light, from which the tail rose at an angle of about 30° or 35° with the horizon, curving slightly downwards, and terminating in a broad brush of faint light, the curvature of which diminished till it was nearly straight at the end. The portion of the tail next the comet appeared three or four times as bright as the most luminous portion of the milky way, and what struck me as a singular feature was that its upper margin, from the nucleus to very near the extremity, was clearly and almost sharply defined, while the lower side gradually shaded off into obscurity."

The influence of the comet, particularly in visual and design terms, was such that traces of its appearance can be found in magazine and commercial illustrations, household objects, children's books and other items up until the early years of the 20th century.

Farnham, Dorset

Farnham is a village and civil parish in North Dorset, in the south of England, on Cranborne Chase, 7 mi northeast of Blandford Forum. In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 183.

Toponymy
The name Farnham derives from the Old English fearn (fern) and ham (homestead) and means an enclosure or homestead where ferns grow. In the Domesday Book of 1086 Farnham was recorded as Ferneham or Fernham.

History
The early settlement history of Farnham isn't clear. Iron Age and Romano-British field systems were created in the surrounding area generally, though traces haven't survived at Farnham. The present-day Farnham village has emerged from five separate settlements associated with clearings in hazel coppice; in the Domesday Book Ferneham or Fernham is recorded five times, though not all the entries refer to the present-day settlement. The book records 12 households with a total taxable value of 6 geld units. The county's sheriff at the time, Aiulf the chamberlain, owned some of the land.

For much of its history Farnham has been closely connected with Tollard Royal, the adjacent village and parish in the neighbouring county of Wiltshire. Tollard Farnham (or Farnham Tollard ), a tithing to the north of Farnham village, was previously owned by the de Tollard family of Tollard Royal, and until 1885, when it was joined with Farnham, its dead were taken along a track named Burials Drove to be buried at Tollard Royal.

Augustus Pitt Rivers lived nearby on the Rushmore Estate. Following his donation of some 20,000 antiquities to the University of Oxford in 1884, forming the nucleus of the Pitt Rivers Museum, he continued to collect archaeological and ethnological specimens for his personal collection, which was held in the former Orphan Gypsy School at Crossways, about 1/2 mi from Farnham village centre. The village's inn became the Museum Hotel to cater for visitors, which numbered 12,000 per year at the peak of the museum's popularity. The Farnham collection was dispersed in the 1970s, with the British items going to the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, and the ethnographic collections sold.

Geography
Farnham parish is situated at the head of the valley of the small Gussage Brook, on the dip slope of the hills of Cranborne Chase. It covers 1420 acre at an approximate altitude of 75 to 150 metres (250 to 500 feet) and geologically comprises chalk, overlain by clay-with-flints in places. Measured directly, Farnham village is 7 mi northeast of Blandford Forum, 7+1/2 mi southeast of Shaftesbury, 10 mi north-northwest of Wimborne Minster and 14+1/2 mi southwest of Salisbury.

Demography
In the 2011 census Farnham civil parish had 105 dwellings, 92 households and a population of 183.

The population of the parish in the censuses between 1921 and 2001 is shown in the table below:

Mizo Union

Mizo Union (6 April 1946 – 12 January 1974) was the first political party in Mizoram, northeast India. It was founded on 6 April 1946 at Aizawl as the Mizo Common People's Union. At the time of independence of India from the british rule in india in 1947, the party was the only political force in the Lushai Hills (former name of Mizoram). It won the first Mizoram District Council general election under the new Indian Union in 1951, and consecutively in 1957, 1962 and 1966.

However, the mautam (bamboo famine) of 1958 and its protégé insurgency in 1966 downgraded its status, so that the party was compelled to dissolve in 1974 and merged with the Indian National Congress.

History
Mizo Union was the upshot of administrative preparation when the British occupation of India was about to end. The British administrators initiated forming local representatives to maintain law and order. However, the Mizo leaders, especially the central organisation Young Lushai Association (YLA), preferred complete independence from India, and made a boycott against the British orders. At the onset, there even was a proposal to turn YLA into a political party. The learned men were urged the need to create an entirely political organisation. R. Vanlawma and P.S. Dahrawka then prepared a constitution of what they eventually called the Mizo Common People's Union. After recruiting members, the party was formally established on 6 April 1946 with R. Vanlawma becoming the General Secretary and Convener. After a discussion the name was simplified to Mizo Union and the first officials were elected on 25 May 1946. The premier businessman Pachhunga became the first President. Immediately the party gained unprecedented support from the general public throughout the land. This was largely because of the general anachronistic attitude towards tribal chiefdom and their British allies, who wearied them with levies and forced labour. But the momentum of popularity had its drawbacks. The freshly educated recruits formed an intellectual group and usurped against the party leaders, who were not highly educated, which was the main issue. The intellectuals mounted a coup in the party's first general meeting on 24–26 September of that year, which led to the resignation of Pachhunga and elimination of other leaders. Then the only remaining of the original official, Vice President Lalhema became the President, who unfortunately was also a petty businessman and still with a deficit in education. This issue erupted in the November meeting, and election in the early 1947 clearly toppled Lalhema, ousted by Khawtinkhuma, a fresh master's degree holder from Tripura. The trailblazers were forced to unite into an offshoot party which they named the Mizo Union Council. This for a time formed a public and religious chasms in Aizawl as the Mizo Union was supported by the educated class and commoners, and also mostly by church leaders. Whereas the new party was espoused by the influences of the philanthropist Pachhunga, who were mostly well-to-do entrepreneurs and the tribal chiefs. Thus Aizawl was divided into a southern Mizo Union dominion with its headquarters at Thakthing and northern Mizo Union Council territory having its office at Pachhunga's residence at Dawrpui.

UMFO
In early 1947 Khawtinkhuma was offered a regular government job, and was succeeded by Pastor Zairema, who was supported by the Presbyterian Church, on 18 January. But there was an internal turmoil incited by Lalbiaktluanga, who as the Vice President rightly claimed the presidency, but to no avail. Dispirited Lalbiaktluanga and his sympathisers departed with the creation of a new party, the United Mizo Freedom Organisation (UMFO), on 5 July 1947. The main propaganda of UMFO was to join the administrative state of Burma instead of India or independence. UMFO eventually absorbed the supporters of the Mizo Union Council, thereby becoming the only political rival. At the election to Advisory Council of Mizoram, the first democratic election under independent India, Mizo Union received a massive win (23 against 1 for UMFO). This resulted not only in the loss of Burma inclination, but the eventual demise of UMFO. When the Mizoram District Council was created by the Government of India, the first general election in April 1952 was cleanly captured by Mizo Union (17 out of 18 electorates), and President Lalsawia became the first Chief Executive Member.

Detriment and diminish
If one person is to be singled out for the rise and fall of Mizo Union, it would invariably be an astute Ch. Saprawnga. From the start he was the instigator of the first coup in 1946. When the party won the first governmental election in 1952, at the time Mizoram was a district of Assam, Saprawnga as the leader of Assam Legislative Assembly members from Mizoram, was offered as an honour the position on Parliamentary Secretary under the ruling Assam Congress Party. The ever strategic Saprawnga declined and unexpectedly returned to the Mizoram District and cast a motion of no confidence against CEM Lalsawia, who he eventually replaced. The ingenious Saprawnga then designated Lalsawia as an Executive Member to the dismay of the party, especially the then President R. Thanhlira. After feud and friction in the party, Thanhlira conceded to resigning the presidency. This led to factional divide of the party into two, Saprawnga's and Lalsawia's sides. The split in the party paid a serious blow when they almost lost to UMFO (11 against 8) in the 1957 election. To the blessing of Saprawnga, UMFO and Lalsawia with his clique decided to join a Meghalaya-based Eastern India Tribal Union (EITU) party in October 1957, so that Saprawnga was left with the sole political party of the land.

Dissolution
The principal goal of the Mizo Union, which was to subjugate customary tribal administration, was quite fulfilled by the creation of the democratic administration of the District Council. But the other causes - independence and greater Mizoram - were not. The original aspiration of sovereignty was immediately subdued, and the attempt for unification of all Mizo tribes into a united state was a total failure. Instead the party was more and more engrossed in the Indian politics, to the disappointment of many, and this was one of the basic factors of the rise of Mizo National Front and the eventual uprising. The party had no agenda for promotion of ethnic identity and social backlashes. This shortcoming was compounded by the 1959 famine, as the ruling party was held incapable of solving the socio-economic crisis, and was accused of indifference towards the suffering of the people. This prompted the organisation of Mizo National Front which attempted to alleviate the situation as one agenda, and a renewed struggle for independence as the other. These policies, as before, were closer to the sentiments of the people, and actually the sealed the fate of the Mizo Union. A scheduled 1966 election could not be held due to the insurgency, and internal politics as a whole was crushed. Mizo Union was gradually disintegrating. The party assembly on 12 January 1974 therefore resolved to dissolve the party entirely and merged with Mizoram Pradesh Congress Committee. Although a few devotees of the party recreated the Mizo Union Party on 17 March 1974, they failed to make political landmarks.

Ideology
Mizo Union arose from the irate commoners of anachronism of the tribal administrative system, in which a tribal chief had an absolute power on the welfare of the citizens, and that most often was exercised in prejudice. The original bearing "Common" was expressly clear that it was a force to overthrow the oppressive tribal governance of the chiefs, which was further exploited by the British. For this reason alone it readily gained support from majority of the population. The 1947 conference explicitly voted against the oppressive tribal administration and demanded total abolition of: 1) construction works by forced labour; 2) paddy tax to the chief; 3) the chief's authoritative judgement of disputes; and 4) meat tax to the chief. The other central motive of Mizo Union was to claim independent and sovereign state for Mizoram instead of becoming a part of Indian union. This aspiration also carried the unification of all Mizo clans into a single administrative area, that is to bring all lands inhabited by Mizo tribes including those of Cachar, Manipur, Tripura and Chin Hills into a united state. On the eve of the Indian Independence the party organised the first ever grand procession in Mizoram in which they cried out the slogan of independence. On the day of independence on 15 August 1947, they planned for a more jubilant demonstration. However, the Mizo Union Council, which had turned to patronise the tribal chiefs, warned them of physical opposition to such protest march, even to the extent of taking up arms, and the rally was called off for fear of bloodshed.

The political aspiration shifted its direction when the intellectual group overtook the party administration. Although the fundamental objective remained independence, there was an influential view that the party should go for autonomy of some sort under the Indian Union. Leaders of the party were on good terms with the Indian National Congress. The first General Assembly in 1946 had resolved that upon Indian Independence, the Lushai Hills must be integrated to Assam. It was then in January 1947 that President Khawtinkhuma and Secretary Vanṭhuama wrote to the President of the Constituent Assembly of India that representative of the Mizo Union should be included in the Advisory Committee for the Tribal Areas of Assam. They submitted a memorandum to the Bordoloi Committee that they agreed the incorporation of the then Lushai Hills to the Indian Union, however, on the condition "that the Lushai’s will be allowed to opt out of the Indian Union when willing to do so subject to a minimum period of ten years." Then, at the turn of 1960, the attitude redirected towards permanent statehood under India. The party convention on 10 June 1963 made a resolution to demand for a Mizo state, that should include all Mizo-inhabited areas of Lushai Hills, Tripura, Assam and Manipur.

Space form

In mathematics, a space form is a complete Riemannian manifold M of constant sectional curvature K. The three most fundamental examples are Euclidean n-space, the n-dimensional sphere, and hyperbolic space, although a space form need not be simply connected.

Reduction to generalized crystallography
The Killing–Hopf theorem of Riemannian geometry states that the universal cover of an n-dimensional space form $$M^n$$ with curvature $$K = -1$$ is isometric to $$H^n$$, hyperbolic space, with curvature $$K = 0$$ is isometric to $$R^n$$, Euclidean n-space, and with curvature $$K = +1$$ is isometric to $$S^n$$, the n-dimensional sphere of points distance 1 from the origin in $$R^{n+1}$$.

By rescaling the Riemannian metric on $$H^n$$, we may create a space $$M_K$$ of constant curvature $$K$$ for any $$K < 0$$. Similarly, by rescaling the Riemannian metric on $$S^n$$, we may create a space $$M_K$$ of constant curvature $$K$$ for any $$K > 0$$. Thus the universal cover of a space form $$M$$ with constant curvature $$K$$ is isometric to $$M_K$$.

This reduces the problem of studying space forms to studying discrete groups of isometries $$\Gamma$$ of $$M_K$$ which act properly discontinuously. Note that the fundamental group of $$M$$, $$\pi_1(M)$$, will be isomorphic to $$\Gamma$$. Groups acting in this manner on $$R^n$$ are called crystallographic groups. Groups acting in this manner on $$H^2$$ and $$H^3$$ are called Fuchsian groups and Kleinian groups, respectively.

Yesün Temür (Yuan dynasty)

Yesün Temür (Mongolian: Есөн Төмөр ;, 1293 – August 15, 1328) was a great-grandson of Kublai Khan and an emperor of the Yuan dynasty of China from 1323 to 1328. Apart from Emperor of China, he is regarded as the 10th Khagan of the Mongol Empire, although it was only nominal due to the division of the empire. In Chinese historiography, Yesün Temür, who was very fond of the traditional ways of the Mongols, is commonly known as the Taiding Emperor of Yuan based on his first era name. His name means "nine iron" in the Mongolian language.

He was probably the emperor visited by the Franciscan friar Odoric, who left an excellent record of his travels.

Early life
Yesün Temür was born in Mongolia in 1293 to Gammala, the eldest son of Zhenjin, who was presumed heir to his father Kublai Khan. Gammala was appointed as Jinong (jinwang, 晉王) in 1292 after Zhenjin's death, but he lost the race for successor to his younger brother Temür. Khanship was assumed by Temür, Darmabala, and their sons and grandson, so Gammala and his son Yesün Temür were out of the race. As Jinong, Gammala ruled the Mongolian steppe north of the Gobi Desert and enshrined Genghis Khan in the Four Great Ordo. In 1302 Gammala died and Yesün Temür took over as Jinong.

During the reigns of Kulug Khan, Ayurbarwada, and Gegeen Khan, Yesün Temür, who had a large fief and powerful army in the Mongolian steppe, became one of the princes most respected by the court and emerged as the undisputed leader of the princes in the steppe.

Accession
In 1323 when Shidebala Gegeen Khan (Emperor Yingzong) was assassinated by Grand Censor Tegshi and Esen Temur, the rebellious group welcomed Yesün Temür since his mother was Buyan Kelmish of the Khunggirad clan. According to the official history of the Yuan, Yesün Temür caused Tegshi's envoy Walus to be seized and sent notice of the plot to Shidebala Khan, but the messengers arrived too late.

Yesün Temür was not merely the principal beneficiary of the conspiracy but was also very likely a participant. It is said that his administrator Dawlat Shah had established close contact with the conspirators. After receiving the imperial seal sent by the conspirators, he ascended to the throne on the bank of the Kherlen River in Mongolia on October 4, 1323. Esen Temur was made the grand councilor of the right, and Tegshi the manager of the Bureau of Military Affairs. Upon learning that he would incur suspicion as a party to the murders, he suddenly reversed his policy and ordered Tegshi, Esen Temur, and others to be put to death. Under the leadership of Chang Kuei, the late Khagan's officials sent a letter to Yesün Temür urging him to accept the throne and to punish the conspirators. He sent troops to Dadu and Shangdu and had rebellious officers executed before he entered Dadu because he feared becoming their puppet. The five princes who had been involved were exiled to Yunnan, Hainan, and other distant places.

Chinese officials repeatedly urged Yesün Temür to extend the purge to all former allies of Temuder and Tegshi and their families, but Yesün Temür Khan refused. He issued an amnesty decree, and the confiscated properties of the executed conspirators were returned to their families.

Administration
As a ruler who had seized the throne by intrigue and violence, Yesün Temür tried to win the widest possible support. To secure support as Emperor of China from the Han populace, he duly showed his respect for the Confucian tradition from the beginning of his reign. Nevertheless, Muslim and Mongol officials from the steppe constituted the majority of posts in the Yuan government during this period. Kumeijil and Tas Temur served as grand councillars of the right; Dawlat Shah served as the manager of the governmental affairs of the Central Secretariat (中書省), then as censor in chief, and finally as grand councillary of the left; and Andachu, the manager of the Bureau of Military Affairs.

In addition to Dawlat Shah, there were two Muslims, Ubaidullah and Bayanchar, who served as managers of governmental affairs in the Secretariat. Mahumud Shah and Hasan Khoja managed the Bureau of Military Affairs. In contrast with the Muslims, Han officials exerted little influence on the administration. The high point of the Mongol partner-merchants' operations came under Yesün Temür, whose administration exempted Christians and Muslims from any corvee payments and guaranteed huge payments promised by the Mongolian nobility in return for luxury goods (тансаг).

Yesün Temür Khan denounced the extravagance of the court in buying costly precious stones, imported by foreign merchants, and sold for ten times their value, while the poor were starving. In 1326, Ozbeg Khan of the Golden Horde sent cheetahs to Yesün Temür Khan who responded with grants of gold, silver, cash, and silks.

During his reign Yesün Temür Khan divided the empire into eighteen departments controlled by a board called "the Lords of the Provinces"; it had formerly been divided into twelve units. Reports were presented on the condition of the Yuan provinces were full of complaints about the Lamas who, armed with their golden seals, rode about the province making exaction and treating the people in a shameful way. They put up at private houses, drove out their masters, debauched their wives, and did pretty much as they wished. The fear of offending the Mongols and the Lamas prevented the Khan from doing anything effectual at first. Finally, he forbade the Lamas from entering China. Besides Buddhism, Yesün Temür Khan neglected the ancient worship of the sky of the Mongols.

Yesün Temür left the empire's governance to his Muslim aide Dawlat Shah and Khatun Babukhan when he suddenly died in Shangdu on August 15, 1328. His son Ragibagh was installed by Dawlat Shah, but he was defeated by his rival Tugh Temür three months later during the War of the Two Capitals.

See for example HMS Pinafore, Rod. If the link pertains to one specific section, put the link in that section; see for example 2004 Democratic National Convention.

 * If the link pertains only indirectly to the article, which IMHO applies to all Wikiquote links (though I could be persuaded otherwise), it should go to the bottom. In particular, it should go at the bottom if it is less relevant than the article text; see for example The Netherlands. Who would want to look up "The Netherlands" in a dictionary when they had an encyclopedic treatment in front of them? In contrast, the original text of HMS Pinafore is more relevant to the entry title "HMS Pinafore" than any synopsis, and a dictionary treatment of the word "rod" is more useful than a Wikipedia dab page.

 * IMO, Wiktionary links should not be used simply to link unfamiliar words to their definitions. If the reader doesn't understand some term, and there's no Wikipedia article on it, then let him look it up himself! For example, this kind of "periwinkle link" is obfuscatory, because as you can('t) see, it's impossible to tell whether it links to a real definition or to "Edit this page" exhortations. Use big words freely, I say. (I do link the occasional word to Wiktionary in Wikisource texts, but it doesn't seem appropriate in Wikipedia entries.)

 * I hope this makes sense. If you think it makes enough sense to add to some guidelines page, go right ahead. --Quuxplusone 21:21, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Merger
Should this page be merged from Sister projects? That would simplify things greatly. -- Eleassar  my talk 11:57, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Heart Lake Secondary School
Not notable enough. Mandel 18:58, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable school. Fire Star 22:55, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Count in 3 more delete votes from Improv, WOT and Vina. See above. Mandel 09:16, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. It is frequently alleged that articles on very obscure topics, such as schools, are rarely verified, and that the information on them is unlikely to be kept up to date. The fact that an anon actually checked the information and found that half the content of the article was wrong shows that this allegation has merit. It is frequently asserted that school stubs should be kept so that they "will grow." Stubs do not grow, absent a dedicated community of people with a serious commitment to writing encyclopedic-quality articles about the topic area. The fact that this stub has not grown since February 9th, 2004, suggests that no such community exists for school articles. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 16:37, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Jayjg 16:42, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. NeoJustin 04:36 Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - factual, verifiable entry. Mark Richards 17:11, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep this. Schools are notable. Notability is not a deletion criteria. Intrigue 21:11, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Indrian 20:49, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)

Comment NSK (nsk2@wikinerds.org) has stated that Wikinerds, an all-encompassing "knowledge base" rather than an encyclopedia, is interested in having all VfD-ed articles resubmitted to them. I have submitted this one to them. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 16:35, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Thank goodness there's a place to submit all these stubby school articles. I hear that anthony depiero wants to start something like a school database for all schools, small or big, notable or otherwise.  Now that's the place to visit.  Before I get slammed further, I'll keep my mouth shut. Mandel 19:42, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)
 * Does that make Anthony notable enough for a WP article? ;o) Chris 02:22, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Mercyhurst Preparatory School
What do you want me to say? The entry doesn't say much. Mandel 18:59, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable school. Fire Star 22:58, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, evidence of notability not presented. By the way, I am about to delete some point-of-view promotional cruft from the article. This will make the article shorter and stubbier, so I am going to present the full text here before I edit it. This is so that people in this discussion can judge the article both in its original and its present form. The struck-out material is what I've deleted. I won't revert if anyone puts it back. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 02:19, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Mercyhurst Prep is a Catholic, coeducational secondary school located in Erie, Pennsylvania. It is an institution of learning founded by the Sisters of Mercy.  The school is located up the hill from Mercyhurst College on East Grandview Boulevard.  As one of the finer high schools in Erie, the students of Mercyhurst Prep excel academically, artistically, and athletically.  At Mercyhurst, there are a wide variety of interests and opportunities, allowing for excellence to be found throughout the halls of the school.
 * In place of the struck material, I'm adding: "It describes itself as 'the premier Catholic high school in Northwestern Pennsylvania.'"

 * Any famous alumni? Educators of national note? If not, delete. Average Earthman 08:19, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Count in 3 more delete votes from Improv, WOT and Vina. See above. Mandel 09:06, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable school. The school has no notable achievements, famous alumni or educators. --Cynical 20:26, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * D I imagine that Catholic mixed schools are ten-a-penny in the US. This could be any one of them. Chris 02:34, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - factual, verifiable entry. Mark Richards 17:07, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep this. Schools are notable. Notability is not a deletion criteria. Intrigue 20:42, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is not an enumerated criteria, but potential to be encyclopedic is.  Most encyclopedias I know only include notable things. Indrian 20:45, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
