Talk:List of oil fields

Orinoco Tar Sands
According to this article, The Orinoco Tar sands are said to be the largest in the world Not to dminish the Orinoco deposits in any way but I gather contributors here have not heard of the Athabasca Tar Sands in Canada which are said to contain more oil reserves than any other single source including Saudi Arabia. Anyone know which deposit is the most substantial ? One facility alone is being developed north of Fort McMurray Alberta at this time with a Capex of $30 Billion CAD. Projects currently on the boards for (conservatively) >$100B worth of capital projects between now and 2012. If the Orinoco is bigger that is all well and good, however, what matters is which deposit is most likley to be developed fully? Our money is on Athabasca which is in politically stable, Alberta, Canada (FYI Alberta borders the USA) and not Venezuela where it is anyone's guess what might happen politically. Capital is fluid and generally only goes where it is wanted and is secure. The site is quickly becoming the darling of world oil interests and their capital funding. Google Athabasca Tar Sands or Fort McMurray Alberta and have a peek...

Orinoco reserves
The Orinoco oil province in Venezuela contains about 1.7 trillion barrels of oil in place.

 * These numbers are all over the map. Some seem to be estimated recovery and others are oil in place.  I assume others are probably reserve estimates.

 * For instance the Cantarell feild in Mexico is about 35 billion oil in place with an ultimate recovery of about 50%. So the posted size of 15-23 in this case seems to be ultimate recoverable.

 * OTOH the Tar Sands have about 1.7-1.8 billion in place with somewhat under 300 billion now classified as reserves.

 * The data should be sortable two (2) ways: (1) by field size and (2) by current production rates.

 * For each field the production history should be shown. This will change month to month so whether this is done montly or yearly is an open question.  But it would be good to try for monthly.

 * Next the total oil in place, reserves etc should be shown. Also it should be noted when the estimates were made because changing technology will change this.

 * We should also show total production to date and an estimate of remaining reserves and remaining oil in place. Some history of the feilds would also be great... and how poorly managed some were.  For example the Turner Valley feild south of Calgary had its gas cap flared.  Not only was this a criminal was of a none renewable natural resource - it also destroyed the reservoir pressure with the result that probably 80% of the oil has been left behind and it is a hell of a job to get it out.

 * It would be a good idea to indicate who operates each feild as well. However that becomes rather complex because you can have ownerrship split by well, zone, pool, battery and so on.  I once wrote software to do this!

 * From good numers we can derive decline rates and it would be good to show this graphically.

 * The date the feild was first discovered and also when it was put on production should also be shown. The discovery record in a play typically follows a log normal distribution so if you organise the data properly then this can be used to forecast the ultimate that will be found in a given play.  I know where there is software to do this.  But to do it you really need to know each pool involved and when it was found so the data here really needs to be beefed up.

 * It likely would not be practical to do this. But the CIA has done it in some areas.  Which I cannot say because they are too secretive.  However I can say I know for sure they were doing this because they had the software even though they wouldn't admit it or even who they were!

 * If we beef up this page then I expect it will become a major resource and ppl will maintain it because it is such a valuable reference. What is here is a good start but it sure needs work!

Billion or trillion
1.7 trillion in venezuela!? or is it billion?

Oil reserves are classified into categories - proven, probable and possible. The tar sands in venezuela do not fit into any of these quantities due to two reasons. 1)It's very heavy oil and not conventional oil (it contains a lot of contaminants like sulfur, heavy metals and carbon) 2) It's a possible reserve.

It's approximately 1,700 Billion barrels of oil in place. You cannot extract but maybe 50% of this oil at most. Furthermore, it takes a LOT of energy to extract heavy crude oil. Kgrr 03:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Tell that the Canadian province of Alberta and Saskatchewan, also to mention the at least during its "pioneer" phase "Oil sand Capital" Fort McMurray. I can't say if there is Permafrost as it goes pretty far to the North and the location itself does not create that much heat like a City in the million(s), but real living spaces was very much worth and even "Living Containers" placed well were very expensive, same for single rooms as some families with a House and a free room could make really good money with that room and allowing the person to use the toilet or invested something and build a 2nd bathroom with an open apartment-style kitchen, just enough for a single worker and the price increased heavy. There were hard times since than, like since late 2008 until prices recovered, than the price war (2016?) and than a bit better time and now pandemic... however as below can be seen only until incl. 2018 the production went up and imports to the US did so too, in many week over 4 million barrels oil per day were exported to the US, almost all via that Pipeline from Alberta/Central Canada to the Gulf of Mexico (Keystone XXL or so?!) and also in this region I guess trains and maybe even crude trucks could have been operating with profit for the most time, like oil in that area a bit further south on the US side also used heavy train transport, extreme many oil tanking wagons were pushed/carried by up to 3 locomotives just to reach a slow tempo but the number of wagons looked from some perspective like it had no end, in other places with very low density and because of that infrastructure (Montana and Wyoming being worst I would say there, but in the eastern-corner of Montana I think in the border area to North Dakota the "Bakken" formation lies and it was the Nr. 1 of the Shale Oil Basins where newest technology was used and at least for a while nice production was achieved, also parts of South Dakota had not the best infrastructure and with all the million barrels from Canada the demand is very low even if we try to refine some crude somewhere in this area and bring the products to the customers in the producing states and export to the nearest other states (= markets) like Nebraska, Minnesota, Idaho, Iowa, Wisconsin, Utah or Colorado the real "big ones" are a bit more away and the pipelines go to or come from the Gulf of Mexico, on its way there it crosses many important areas like Cushing, Oklahoma... the place where a large part of the US SPR and I think private/commercial oil storages was build, somehow it must have been cheap/easy there or they wanted to have it a bit away from both endings but still pretty central...

Canada is increasing its oil production for a longer period now, no very large steps but I'm sure the crude oil production not just in Alberta but in whole Canada is going down in total and since this has to be replaced Canada did well, I updated the German Wikipedia article about Crude oil/Tables and Graphics, which incl. Top 40 oil producing countries, I hope one day an easy program can read the data out, because doing it per hand really is more work than most people think, I had the (June it seems?) 2019 BP Energy Review as most recent Source in early May 2020. If in June 2020 a new came I would have waited maybe, but already 2 years were missing, and I have to correct myself... Canada made BIG steps in production... here a longer period, in 2000 it produced "only" 126.9 mln tons, in 2010 this increased (after the Oil Price collapse/crash in 2008 and the Financial Crisis starting in 2007 in the US) to 164.4 mln tons, 2013 a large increase to 195.1 mln, 2016 already 218.0 mln, 2017 there was a price war since 2016 afair but the 2014-2016 period was good and so the earlier investments kicked in and Canada produced 235.4 mln tons in 2017 and 255.5 million tons in 2018 which made it the 4th largest oil producer and guess where especially the 2017 and 2018 very large increases were coming from... the absolute majority of oil produced outside of Alberta/Saskatchewan is used completely for the demand at the West- and East-Coast areas, while "Central Canada" is not that heavy populated. Calgary in Alberta and Edmonton are 2 large Cities for Canada but together with Saskatoon and Regina the only other places with more than 335k and 260k only 2 more cities in Alberta with more than 100k population are left and the smaller one is really exactly at 100k, thats it for an area alone in Alberta which is almost twice the size of Germany, and only 1 province to the west and there is the Pacific... but a pipeline with over 1 million barrels per day capacity over an distance of like 750km or more (to reach important points before ending in a city with an port would be very expensive and would limit exports and make the use of the Panama Canal necessary for exports to the East-Coast of the Americas or to Europe and Africa the Pacific way is not good, only (South)East-Asia and Australia/Oceania, Japan and Russia, Korea are good to reach from there. Oil sand is oil and thats why Venezuela is the oil richest country by reserves, and Canada with having almost the same amount (each 1/3rd of known global oil sands/bitumen) but only small conventional reserves compared to Venezuela is Nr. 3 in this scenario... maybe with a real updated Shale Oil Map the US could get up really many places because they have like ~10 to 15 years reserves to production left since... a very long time, alone the official reserves from March 2003 when Iraq was invaded are long gone, the reserves updated and upgraded in the early 2010's even with reduced pandemic-production are going down by over 300 million barrels per months and with last pre-corona-impact production even over 400 million (increasing) Kilon22 (talk) 20:06, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Campos basin
Campos is a basin, not a field. Perhaps someone should modify this to read Country, Basin, Field.

Percentages
I am removing the reserve percentages. It is not adequate to only take the numbers posted here. This gives a distorted view of a country's oil reserves and constitutes original research. The BP statistical review of world energy has the numbers we need. I'll add it to my to do list. --129.173.105.28 16:13, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Its trillion Comment on direction
I didn't mean for the information to be removed. I just read Simmon's book: "Twilight in the Desert". He has a LOT of data. I will be passing the book on as of tomorrow and I will not have time to organise a template. I will urge others to do this. If we get a nice template set up then we can improve this page in very short order.

Units
I am afraid there are very serious mistakes in this page. First of all, the units used are different. I believe that same units should be used in all fields, not milions, bilions and trilions. So bilions would make sense.. However, using bilions can be quite misleading, as this can mean different things in Europe and USA (bilion vs miliard). Thus I suggest using Gb for bilion (bilion as used in the article). Plus there is another problem of the numbers given here. From my information, some of them are proved reserves, some are probable reserves, some are ultimate and others are resources, not reserves. It is said that the numbers given are inital proved reserves, which is not true. For example the initial proved reserves for the Canada tar sands are 170Gb (accoridng to O&GJ), while 1.7Tb (or 1700Gb, trilion barels) is what is belived to be the ultimate resource. Plus there is no such term as intial reserves used in the petroleum industry. THe proper term is 'ultimate recoverable resourses', or just 'ultimate', which is the current possible reserves (2P) plus cumulative production. In the US they use the sum of proven reserves (1P) and the cumulative prodcution. Initial reserves can only mean one thing - the first estimate of 1P or 2P reserves (proven or possible) - information that almost nobody is actualy interested in. I am changing the inital reserves to Ultimate.

In total, the article is miselading. I do not want to edit it, as there might be some pattern that I could not read, but I guess this is not the case.

Additional information on this page?
I think it would be good to add an extra column to the page covering date of discovery of each oil field —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.96.0.8 (talk) 13:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC).
 * I think this is a great idea. I would like to also suggest two columns with the date when the fields were brought into production and the date when peaked.  Perhaps the date when they were exhausted.  If this is voted OK, I will provide the needed research.  Kgrr 13:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed Merge with List of largest oil fields
User:Beagel proposed a merge of this table with the table I created at Peak oil/Table of largest oil fields. There was no discussion on my proposal (above) to add the columns, and the order of this table is not by size, but by geographic location.

This table in its current form does not convey the fact that most of the large oil fields that produce the most oil per day have peaked and all the new oil fields that are being found are much smaller in size and production than the super-elephants listed in the table of largest oil fields. I have trouble with some of the numbers in the table since no references are given as a source for the data. Some figures like the Orinoco Tar sands and the Athabasca Oil sands should only list recoverable reserves, not what may be in the ground. Furthermore, it does not make much sense to list relatively small oil fields since their contribution to the World's appetite for oil is small.

Hence, it does not make any sense in listing any oil field that has less than 1 billion barrels. My table stops at 10 Billion bbls. If they are ordered by size, the log-normal distribution of the oil field sizes becomes readily evident. Succinctly put, there are just a few large oil fields and they are running out. To take their place, it will take many more medium sized ones. For example, to replace the oil flow from Ghawar will take 20-30 Jack 2's Kgrr 04:50, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 * The merger proposal is already 1.5 years old and there seem to be consensus about this. Should we go forward with this? for more discussion please see Talk:List of largest oil fields. Beagel (talk) 07:02, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Add deaths in oil fields
Each oil field should have to list the number of deaths they have yearly. http://www.dothaneagle.com/dea/news/local/article/us_oilfield_deaths_rise_sharply/35837/ Stars4change (talk) 06:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

This is not relevant IMHO! This article is about (the largest) oil fields. 598 oil Workers in 6 years for the 3rd largest oil producer is not SOO much. Abroad in "poor" countries the number is higher I think. There are also thousands of deaths in mines, especially in coal mines in China. -- Kilon22 (talk) 22:14, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Basins are not allowed or?
I just did a little bit work in the Timan-Pechora Basin-Article, in German Wiki I have created this article but under "Timan Petschora Oilfield". You can see production from 2004 to 2011 almost 130 million tons of oil were produced in the article I linked. If I remember correct 1 ton is around ~7.3 barrel. This would mean that 130 million tons of oil are exactly 949 million barrels. So production in this "field/basin"? already cumulated far over 1 billion barrels and production is going on? Greetings from Berlin, Europe :) Kilon22 (talk) 19:14, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Toot, Pakistan is wrong here
This article is for fields larger than 1 billion reserve. In the table Toot is written 1 billion, but in the article:

''There are about 60 million barrels (9,500,000 m3) of oil in place with 12%-15% of which is recoverable. At its peak during 1986, the field was producing approximately 2,400-barrel (380 m3) of oil per day.''

2,400 Barrels peak is nothing, and 60 million reserves of which 12-15% (15% = 9 million barrels) are recoverable is a joke too. Maximum 9 million barrels... so 991 million are missing to the "1 billion" which is written in the table... Kilon22 (talk) 13:21, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Tengiz?
Where are the Tengiz numbers are from? .530... 530,000 barrels per day, the links is dead: "The List: Taking Oil Fields Offline". August 2006.

In August 2006 the Production of Tengiz never ever could have been 530,000 barrels per day! It is hard to get information about currenct production for the field, but I found information that Tengizchevroil production is lower than 1 year ago.

''In September 2008, Chevron Corporation announced that the major expansion of Tengiz field was completed and it would boost the production capacity to 540,000 barrels per day (86,000 m3/d). In 2012 Chevron announced the field will see its total daily production increase by 250,000-300,000 barrels, bringing production above 500,000 barrels per day.''

Greetings Kilon22 (talk) 12:06, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

I found in the article one ref from September 25, 2008:

''The completion of the expansion brings Tengizchevroil's daily crude production capacity to 540,000 barrels. The first phase of expansion, accomplished earlier this year, increased daily capacity from approximately 310,000 barrels to 400,000 barrels.''

So maybe production in late September 2008 was 400,000 barrels (oil prices were at record high of ~147,50 US-$ in August/September 2008...). Than price declined and like we can read above Chevron said in 2012 that the field WILL SEE an increase to above 500,000 barrels per day - in the future and not in 2012. Than we have price collapse in 2014...

seems unrealistic that the very expensive production there will be increased at the todays low oil prices since production in the Caspian See deep offshore-fields is very expensive and we have a 6-year low in oil price, the low 6 years ago after the 2008 oil price crash. So the 2008 plans were made at an oil price of 147,50$ (which would be today inflation adjusted even a bit more, maybe 160-165 US-$)

Wrong Numbers - Ref is... not so good
Hey,

in the List we have some fields with very strange numbers, best Example is the Bolivar Coastal oil field, the article says it was discovered already 99 years ago in 1917, and production started almost immediately, right after World War 2 Venezuela was the second largest producer in the world, with US being the "Saudi Arabia" of today, and the Soviets destroyed everything they could not transport away from Maikop (3rd largest oil source during WW2 and shortly after the war), they also set the Maikop fields on fire... Grozny (back than almost nobody knew the Chechnya capital), however it was Number 2 and same plans were already made (transport things away, destroy what can't be transported and set fire on the oil sources, but this did not happen in Grozny, only a little bit reduced output since some things already were moved east.... Baku was the absolutely most important oil field, one of the worlds largest, but still directly after war the Soviet Union did not produce that much if we see Venezuela being No. 2 for I think 15 years, and than No. 3 for another 10 years... from 1945 to 1960 the worldwide No. 2 producer (Venezuela), in 1961 the Soviet Union became 2nd and Venezuela stayed 3rd largest producer for another 10 years until 1970, in 1971 than Saudi-Arabia kicked out Venezuela from the Top 3...

But today Venezuela is collapsing right now because of the petrodollar shortage... combined with the fact that the PDVSA (state owned oil company) was used as a cow by Chavez until he died... he took Milk away but did not give the cows enough grass (or what cows eat^^) to eat... so exploration and drilling was reduced extreme heavy since most of the income was directly taken by Chavez... But there is written that the 99 years ago discovered Bolivar Coastal oil field, which started production in 1922, making it now 94 years old, produces 2.6 to 3.0 million barrels a day.. that is impossible since whole Venezuelan Oil production is lower than 2.6 - 3.0 million barrels, and since there are other fields operating too, most of these are very heavy oil which has to be sold with a discount, but yea... maybe it peaked at ~2.6 (article about the fields says production is 2.6 million).

The ref tells this, but the ref (http://petroglobalnews.com/2013/10/top-ten-highest-producing-oil-fields/) tells us too that the Ghawar Field is No. 1 with ~5 million barrels a day, which is one of the few correct numbers... but on Number 2 they write that the Oseberg field which was discovered in 1979 and production started in 1988, they write this field produces 3,780,000 b/d ... which is not possible since again that number is far higher than whole Norwegian oil production (even though Norway and Russia made a 50/50 agreement about territories both claim, they collect experience and produce a bit oil and natural gas there... so maybe Oseberg peaked, in the article here there is written that current production is 14,121 m3/d (88,820 bbl/d). 88,820 bpd and 3,780,000 bpd... shows how good the ref is... just wanted to mention this (again?!)...

optic
Hi guys only I have an "optic" error?! There is a picture at a position where it has not been before (maybe because the article has a "warning" that information is/could be old?) or someone changed something, I do not know exactly...

I made some edits in the past, I will check, I updated Cantarrel for example quite often since it is the hardcore version of depletion and "overproduction" at all costs since operating an offshore platform is expensive, so 2.1 million barrels per day were produced in ~2004 (which is far too much for such a field, especially since it is already producing since 1981...

the steadily increasing oil prices up to the Summer 2008 extreme high price made it attractive and they produced more than 50% of mexicos whole oil output from Cantarrel alone in 2004, later all "experts" said it will stabilize at 500k, than 450k, than 400k... and I looked 2 years ago or so and it was already well below 400k and decreasing month by month..... I think it won't stabilize before maybe 200k or 175k... since no investions will be done, Ka-Maloop-Zaap is the new 3-field (very close to each other, thats why its called as one with all 3 names in it), this field produced over 800,000 barrels over 2 years ago and investments will be done there after the OPEC cut (Mexico agreed to a small reduction like Russia, Oman, Azerbaijan and other smaller non-opec producers)

Carl Adolph Agardh

Carl Adolph Agardh (23 January 1785 in Båstad, Sweden – 28 January 1859 in Karlstad) was a Swedish botanist specializing in algae, who was eventually appointed bishop of Karlstad.

Biography
In 1807 he was appointed teacher of mathematics at Lund University, in 1812 appointed professor of botany and natural sciences, and was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1817, and of the Swedish Academy in 1831.

He was ordained a clergyman in 1816, received two parishes as prebend, and was a representative in the clerical chamber of the Swedish Parliament on several occasions from 1817. He was rector magnificus of Lund University 1819-1820 and was appointed bishop of Karlstad in 1835, where he remained until his death. He was the father of Jacob Georg Agardh, also a botanist.

System of plant classification
The Classes Plantarum has nine primary divisions into which his classes and natural orders are grouped. These are, with class numbers;
 * 1) Acotyledonae 1–3 (Algae, Lichenes, Fungi)
 * 2) Pseudocotyledonae 4–7 (Muscoideae, Tetradidymae, Filices, Equisetaceae)
 * 3) Cryptocotyledonae 8–12 (Macropodae, Spadicinae, Glumiflorae, Liliiflorae, Gynandrae)
 * 4) Phanerocotyledonae incompletae 13–16 (Micranthae, Oleraceae, Epichlamydeae, Columnantherae)
 * 5) Phanerocotyledonae completae, hypogynae, monopetalae 17 (Tubiflorae)
 * 6) Phanerocotyledonae completae, hypogynae, polypetalae 18–22 (Centrisporae, Brevistylae, Polycarpellae, Valvisporae, Columniferae)
 * 7) Phanerocotyledonae completae, discigynae, monopetalae 23 (Tetraspermae)
 * 8) Phanerocotyledonae completae, discigynae, polypetalae 24–26 (Gynobaseae, Trihilitae, Hypodicarpae)
 * 9) Phanerocotyledonae completae, porigynae 27–33 (Subaggregatae, Aridifoliae, Succulentae, Calycanthemae, Peponiferae, Icosandrae, Leguminosae)

Each class then contains a number of orders (families). For instance, Liliiflorae contains 11 orders;
 * Liliiflorae
 * 43 Asparageae
 * 44 Asphodeleae
 * 45 Coronariae
 * 46 Veratreae
 * 47 Commelineae
 * 48 Pontedereae
 * 49 Dioscorinae
 * 50 Haemodoreae
 * 51 Irideae
 * 52 Narcisseae
 * 53 Bromeliaceae

Publications
He devoted considerable attention to political economy and as "a leading liberal", he "succeeded in improving and raising the standards of education in Sweden". He also wrote on theological and other subjects, but his reputation chiefly rests on his botanical works, especially Systema algarum, Species algarum rite cognitae and Classes plantarum on biological classification, and Icones Algarum (1824, 1820–28, and 1828–35). The greatest part of his Manual of Botany (2 vols., Malmoe, 1829–32) has been translated into German.

List of selected publications

Jacob Georg Agardh

Jacob Georg Agardh (8 December 1813 in Lund, Sweden – 17 January 1901 in Lund, Sweden) was a Swedish botanist, phycologist, and taxonomist.

Early life and career
He was the son of Carl Adolph Agardh, and from 1854 until 1879 was professor of botany at Lund University. Agardh designed the current 1862 blueprints for the botanical garden Botaniska trädgården in Lund.

In 1849, he was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Agardh was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1878. It is said that the naturalist Mary Philadelphia Merrifield learnt Swedish in order that she could correspond with him.

Australian female collectors and Mueller
Ferdinand von Mueller, as the Government Botanist of Victoria from 1853 to 1896, played an important role in facilitating the study of Australian flora, including algae. Mueller established an extensive network of collectors across Australia, many of whom were women. He actively encouraged these female collectors to gather specimens, which he then sent to specialists around the world for identification and description. In the case of algae, Mueller regularly corresponded with Agardh in Sweden, who was a leading expert in phycology. Mueller would send Agardh specimens collected by his network of female botanists, along with any relevant information about the specimens. Agardh would then identify and sometimes describe new species based on these specimens.

Agardh received specimens and assistance from several female botanical collectors in Australia during his work on Australian algae. These included Louisa Atkinson, who collected specimens at Berrima and the Blue Mountains in New South Wales in the 1860s–1870s; Miss Goodwin, who collected algae specimens at George Town, Tasmania in the late 1860s; Jessie Hussey, who collected extensively in South Australia in the 1890s and corresponded directly with Agardh after Mueller's death; Jemima Frances Irvine, who collected algae specimens in Western Australia in the late 1880s; and Mary Lodder, who collected algae in Tasmania in the late 1880s. Agardh named several algal species after these collectors, including Dasya feredayae and Nemastoma feredayae after Susan Fereday, Kallymenia nitophylloides after Nina Hodgkinson, and Lenormandia hypoglossum and Curdiea irvineae after Jemima Irvine. Ferdinand von Mueller often acted as an intermediary, forwarding specimens from these collectors to Agardh in Sweden for identification and description.

Works
His principal work, Species, Genera et Ordines Algarum (4 vols., Lund, 1848–63), was a standard authority.

Vio-lence

Vio-lence is an American thrash metal band formed in 1985 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Throughout its career, they have released demo tapes, three EPs and three studio albums. Vio-lence is best-known for their association with the 1980s Bay Area thrash metal scene, and often credited as one of the leading lights of the second wave of the genre. They are also considered to be a member of the "Big Six of Bay Area Thrash Metal," alongside Exodus, Testament, Death Angel, Lȧȧz Rockit and Forbidden.

Vio-lence's most stable line-up was Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn on guitars, Deen Dell on bass, Perry Strickland on drums and Sean Killian on vocals; this lineup recorded all three of their studio albums–Eternal Nightmare (1988), Oppressing the Masses (1990) and Nothing to Gain (1993). After breaking up in 1994 and reforming for occasional live performances from 2001 to 2003, the band reunited once again in January 2019, and released the EP Let the World Burn, their first collection of new material in nearly three decades, in March 2022. The current lineup of Vio-lence includes Killian, bassist Christian Olde Wolbers and drummer Nick Souza along with live members Mario Salcedo and Miles Dimitri Baker.

Initial career
Vio-lence, then-called Death Penalty, was formed in 1985 with the line-up of lead guitarist Phil Demmel, drummer Perry Strickland, rhythm guitarist Troy Fua, lead vocalist Jerry Birr and bassist Eddie Billy (brother of musicians Andy and Chuck Billy). Not long after playing their first gig, which reportedly took place at a house party, Death Penalty changed their name to Violence and eventually then to Vio-lence, as the former was taken by another band. After recording two demos in 1986, they parted ways with Birr, Fua and Billy, who were replaced by Sean Killian, Robb Flynn (formerly of Forbidden Evil) and Deen Dell respectively. Their live success at local clubs in Northern California – opening for bands like D.R.I., Voivod, Kreator, Dark Angel, Suicidal Tendencies and the Mentors, as well as their Bay Area thrash metal peers Testament, Exodus, Death Angel, Lȧȧz Rockit and Heathen – allowed Vio-lence to record another demo, this time for major labels, including MCA Records' sister label Mechanic, who offered them a recording contract.

From February to April 1988, Vio-lence recorded their debut album, Eternal Nightmare, at two studios: The Music Grinder in Los Angeles and Alpha & Omega in San Francisco. The album received mostly positive reviews upon its release in the summer of 1988, and peaked at number 154 on the Billboard 200, becoming the band's only album to enter that chart; this can be attributed to the album selling over 30,000 copies. Vio-lence toured throughout 1988 and 1989 in support of Eternal Nightmare, with bands such as Testament, Voivod, Death Angel, Sanctuary, Nuclear Assault, D.R.I., M.O.D. and the Cro-Mags. The underground success of the album also caught the attention of several labels, including Megaforce Records (then-home to bands such as Testament, M.O.D., Anthrax, and Overkill), who eventually signed the band.

In December 1989, Vio-lence entered the studio to record what would be their second album and only release on Megaforce (distributed by Atlantic) Oppressing the Masses; however, the album faced multiple delays until its release in the summer of 1990. Although the album's success did not match that of Eternal Nightmare, it received some positive reviews and a video for the song "World in a World" was released. Oppressing the Masses also generated some controversy, when the original album (which reportedly sold only 20,000 copies) was destroyed because of Atlantic's objection to the lyrical content of "Torture Tactics"; as a result, the album was reprinted without this track. Vio-lence toured in support of the album for about a year, with bands such as Overkill, Exodus, Forbidden, Flotsam and Jetsam, Prong, Defiance and Rigor Mortis.

In 1991, after being dropped from Atlantic/Megaforce, Vio-lence released an EP Torture Tactics, which included three studio songs (recorded in 1989 during the sessions of Oppressing the Masses) and one "live" track from 1988. Internal conflicts in 1992 resulted in the departure of Robb Flynn who would move on to form groove metal band Machine Head. A year later, Vio-lence released their third and final album, Nothing to Gain, which was actually recorded in 1990. They never toured in support of that album, and Strickland left the band after its release.

Breakup
After an attempt to make a fourth album, and performing what would be their final show for eight years on December 18, 1993, with a new lineup in San Francisco, Vio-lence split up.

Phil Demmel, Deen Dell, Ray Vegas and Mark Hernandez formed a groove/thrash metal band called Torque which disbanded after releasing a studio album and playing several live shows. Demmel then went to form Technocracy.

Robb Flynn has been the guitarist and singer of Machine Head since its inception in 1991. Demmel joined Machine Head in 2003, first as a session guitarist and later becoming a full-time member of the band; he would stay in Machine Head until his departure in 2018.

Reunion
Initially planning only a few shows as part of the tribute to Testament frontman Chuck Billy during the Thrash of the Titans benefit in 2001, the band decided to reunite with early guitarist Ray Vegas replacing Robb Flynn.

In addition to their 2005 re-release of Eternal Nightmare, the band released a 7-inch vinyl record containing two demo tracks from their original 1986 demo tape as well as one previously unreleased track. Only 1000 copies were produced and pressed by Bone Crusher Records. The 7 inch collectible was well marketed and advertised, but due to disagreements between the band and the Bone Crusher record producers, only Vio-lence was allowed to distribute and sell the 500 given to them by the producers. A deal was made to distribute a small quantity (about 100) through a Seattle record store, the only known store to stock the item for sale to the public.

A DVD entitled Blood and Dirt was produced by Jerry Allen (Tales From The Pit video magazine) and released on August 8, 2006, through Megaforce.

On November 6, 2017, it was announced that the members of Vio-Lence would reunite for a performance at "Killian on Command: An Evening of Vio-Lence", a benefit for the band's singer Sean Killian, who was diagnosed with stage four liver cirrhosis earlier that summer. The benefit took place at The Midway in San Francisco, California on January 20, 2018, and included performances by the members of Vio-Lence and their Bay Area thrash metal peers Testament, Exodus, Death Angel, Forbidden and Mordred. The show concluded with a performance of "World in a World" featuring four-fifths of the Eternal Nightmare and Oppressing the Masses lineup; vocals were provided by Flynn instead of Killian, who did not perform due to his health condition. On November 11, 2018, Killian's wife Dana posted a photo on her personal Facebook page, cryptically confirming that her husband has recovered from his illness.

The possibility of a Vio-lence reunion was renewed in September 2018 when Flynn announced that guitarist Phil Demmel was leaving Machine Head after a farewell tour with then-current lineup of Flynn, Demmel, Jared MacEachern and Dave McClain; at first it was speculated that Machine Head was actually breaking up, but Flynn announced shortly thereafter that he was going to continue the band with a new lineup.

Musical outlets reported in November 2018 that, following Demmel's departure from Machine Head, there were rumors Vio-lence would reform "in the not-too-distant future" for shows and possibly new music.

On January 8, 2019, it was announced that Vio-lence would reunite for a performance on April 13 at the Metro in Oakland to perform their debut album, Eternal Nightmare, in its entirety. The show intended as a one-off sold out shortly after its announcement, resulting in a matinee appearance at the Metro, which took place on the following day.

On February 16, 2019, it was announced that Vio-lence would play their first European show at the Alcatraz Metal Fest in Kortrijk, Belgium that August. In addition to their first live appearance in Los Angeles in over a decade on May 31, 2019, at The Regent with Sacred Reich, Excel and Sworn Enemy, they played their first shows in New York in nearly 30 years at the Brooklyn Bazaar on November 8–9. The band also will reportedly play shows with their Bay Area thrash metal peers Testament and Death Angel, and has continued their reunion with more shows into 2020.

On August 9, 2019, Bloodstock Open Air announced that Vio-lence would be playing their first ever and only UK show at the festival in 2020.

The members of Vio-lence have expressed their desire to write the follow-up to 1993's Nothing to Gain. In an August 2019 interview with Australia's Heavy magazine, Demmel said, "Sean's itching to write some new music. I'm not itching as hard. I've got a lot on my plate. Vio-lence is definitely a priority, but that's just a step I haven't... It's hard, because you have this comeback, and then you play the songs, and you want to be good. I don't want to put out something that isn't as good as Eternal Nightmare or some of the songs from Oppressing. I want to have something that's quality." In an interview with Exodus frontman Steve "Zetro" Souza on his "Toxic Vault" video channel, Killian stated, "Phil and I have talked a couple of times. It's kind of up to him because he is very busy doing a soundtrack for a video game and I guess a Netflix series, and he's doing Allegiance and these other things he's doing." Killian also said that the other members of Vio-lence are interested in writing a new album; however, he concluded that "it's Phil and I that need to connect."

In January 2020, Ray Vegas announced that he had left Vio-lence and was replaced by former Overkill guitarist Bobby Gustafson. Longtime bassist Deen Dell left the band shortly thereafter and was replaced by former Fear Factory bassist Christian Olde Wolbers. In March 2020, it was announced that Vio-lence had signed to Metal Blade Records and the band was going to record a new EP in the coming months. On August 20, 2020, Vio-lence released their first song in over 25 years, which was a cover of Dead Kennedys' "California über alles".

On June 16, 2021, Vio-lence announced Let the World Burn as the title of their new EP, which was planned for release in early 2022. Prior to its release, the band was scheduled to be headlining the 2021 installment of the Headbangers Ball Tour in Europe, with support from Voivod, Exciter and Artillery, but it was postponed to the next year due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. On January 10, 2022, a lyric video for "Flesh from Bone" was released, and on the same day, the band announced that Let the World Burn would be released on March 4.

About a week prior to the release of Let the World Burn, Demmel revealed that Vio-lence had begun writing new material for their next EP, which he had hoped would be recorded in the fall of 2022 for a tentative 2023 release.

On October 20, 2022, the band announced that they have parted ways with Gustafson. In February 2023, it was announced Strickland had quit the band "a month prior". The band later clarified that Strickland did not quit the band, implying that he was fired.

On February 5, 2024, Phil Demmel announced he was leaving the band and that his final show with Vio-lence would be performed on February 11, leaving vocalist Sean Killian as the only constant member. Said Demmel, "given the latest state of the band and where I feel I belong with it, or feel tied to it, I just think my time is at an end."

Talk:Identity management

IdM is not AM
In the article, it says "also known as identity and access management". But access is something fundamentally different from an identity. And managing identities is something fundamentally different from managing access. It just can't be plausible defined as a synonym. It seems, the origin of this article was a sales presentation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.28.64.193 (talk) 15:33, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

throw money
and waste your time are you saying old POTS is bad? why should one ever park their money with any single cert provider? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.204.34 (talk • contribs) 16:19, 14 August 2007

Scope of the "Enterprise" the Identity Management is a part of
I added an expansion in the first sentence of the article to "enterprise" to include those users "connected to" enterprise. This would include customers/clients that need access, partners and affiliates, and also services and other applications external to the formal business enterprise that might need access. None of those necessarily apply to all circumstances obviously but they are common extensions to the traditional boundaries of the "enterprise". Alex Jackl (talk) 15:56, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Short Description
I agreed with the changes made to the short description - simple is better in short descriptions after all- but felt that "systems" by itself was inadequate as it could imply a strictly technical approach so, to make it explicit nd clear as possible, I added "technical and policy" as adjectives to system.

Madrepora

Madrepora (Spanish, "mother of pores") is a genus of stony corals, often found forming reefs or islands in tropical locations. The names Madrepore and Madreporaria were formerly applied universally to any stony coral of the family Scleractinia. They reproduce in three separate ways, as discovered by the marine zoologist Anne Thynne (1800–1866). It is commonly known as horn coral. A colony is branched with small polyps in cylindrical cups separated by a perforated coenosteum. Terminal polyps bear six tentacles, while lateral polyps bear twelve tentacles. Madrepora is economically important, since it contributes to the formation of coral reefs.

Species
Species include:
 * Madrepora arbuscula (Moseley, 1881)
 * Madrepora astroites Forskål, 1775
 * Madrepora carolina (Pourtalès, 1871)
 * Madrepora minutiseptum Cairns & Zibrowius, 1997
 * Madrepora oculata Linnaeus, 1758
 * Madrepora porcellana (Moseley, 1881)
 * †Madrepora trochiformis Pallas, 1766

Red Queen's race

The Red Queen's race is an incident that appears in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and involves both the Red Queen, a representation of a Queen in chess, and Alice constantly running but remaining in the same spot.

"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else—if you run very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."

"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

The Red Queen's race is often used to illustrate similar situations:
 * In evolutionary biology, to illustrate that sexual reproduction and the resulting genetic recombination may be just enough to allow individuals of a certain species to adapt to changes in their environment—see Red Queen hypothesis.
 * As an illustration of the relativistic effect that nothing can ever reach the speed of light, or the invariant speed; in particular, with respect to relativistic effect on light from galaxies near the edge of the expanding observable universe, or at the event horizon of a black hole.
 * Isaac Asimov used it in his short story "The Red Queen's Race" to illustrate the concept of predestination paradox.
 * In environmental sociology, to illustrate Allan Schnaiberg's concept of the treadmill of production where actors are perpetually driven to accumulate capital and expand the market in an effort to maintain relative economic and social position.
 * Vernor Vinge used it in his novel Rainbows End to illustrate the struggle between encouraging technological advancement and protecting the world from new weapons technologies.
 * James A. Robinson and Daron Acemoglu used it in their political science book The Narrow Corridor to illustrate the competition and cooperation required between state and society required to support the spread of liberty.
 * Andrew F. Krepinevich used it in his article "The New Nuclear Age: How China’s Growing Nuclear Arsenal Threatens Deterrence" to illustrate how in a tripolar nuclear power system it is not possible for each state to maintain nuclear parity with the combined arsenals of its two rivals.
 * Marc Reisner referenced the Red Queen in his book Cadillac Desert to describe a growing Los Angeles’ quest for water. As the city swelled in population, it required more and more water sources just to maintain a supply barely enough to sate its residents and farms.
 * Steve Blank used it in his article “The Red Queen Problem - Innovation in the DoD and Intelligence Community” as a metaphor for how the US Department of Defense and Intelligence community are not able to keep pace with their adversaries in the 21st century because of their outdated approach to technological innovation.
 * Mark Atherton used it in fraud detection and other areas of fighting online attackers to describe the never ending struggle to combat relentless adversaries.
 * Jay-Z compared the struggle for Black liberation to the Red Queen’s race in his song “Legacy”: “That’s called the Red Queen’s Race/You run this hard just to stay in place/Keep up the pace, baby/Keep up the pace.”

Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital

Martha Jefferson Hospital is a Sentara Healthcare-owned nonprofit community hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was founded in 1903 by eight local physicians. The 176-bed hospital has an employed staff of 1,600 and has 365 affiliated physicians.

The hospital owns 10 primary care and three specialty practices. Major services include a Cancer Care Center, Digestive Care Center, Cardiology Care Center, Orthopedics including Spine Surgery & Joint Replacement Surgery, Bariatric (Weight Loss) Surgery, Neurosciences including Neurosurgery and a Sleep Medicine Center, Stroke Care Center, Thoracic Surgery, Vascular Medicine & Surgery, and a Women's Health Center.

Relocation
Over the years, the hospital expanded at its downtown-Charlottesville location on Locust Avenue. However, in the early 2000s, it was clear a new facility needed to be built to accommodate a growing number of patients and the ability to expand further in a more open area. The hospital chose an 84 acre campus adjacent to their current Outpatient Care Center on Pantops Mountain for the new facility.

Design and construction
The new building is designed by Kahler Slater of Milwaukee, WI. Engineering firms include Graef, Anhult, Schloemer & Associates of Milwaukee; Ring & DuChateau of Milwaukee; Rummel, Klepper & Kahi LLP of Richmond, VA and Hughes, Good, O'Leary and Ryan of Atlanta, GA. The General Contractor is M. A. Mortenson Company of Brookfield, Wisconsin.

The new building has five floors and a basement. There are two wings for patient rooms, the Wendel Wing and the Cornell Wing, as well as a cancer wing, the Phillips Family Cancer Center. The emergency department is located on the southwest end of the second floor. The maternity ward is located in the central area of the third floor. Visitor access, as well as retail space, is located on the Northeast side of the third floor. The cafeteria is located on the northeast side of the fourth floor.

Sale of the old facility
In September 2010, Martha Jefferson Hospital sold its downtown Charlottesville building to Octagon Partners. Octagon Partners later announced that the CFA Institute would move into a portion of the re-developed facility in 2013.

Merger
On September 29, 2010, Martha Jefferson Hospital announced its intention to merge with Sentara Healthcare. The merger was finalized on June 1, 2011, making Martha Jefferson the tenth hospital Sentara Healthcare's not-for-profit integrated health system based in Norfolk, Virginia.

Elizabeth Cabot Agassiz (pseudonym, Actaea; Cary; December 5, 1822 – June 27, 1907) was an American educator, naturalist, writer, and the co-founder and first president of Radcliffe College. A researcher of natural history, she was an author and illustrator of natural history texts as well as a co-author of natural history texts with her husband, Louis Agassiz, and her stepson Alexander Agassiz.

Agassiz traveled to Brazil with her husband from 1865 to 1866, and on the Hassler expedition from 1871 to 1872; of the second, she wrote an account for the Atlantic Monthly. She published A First Lesson in Natural History (Boston, 1859) and edited Geological Sketches (1866).

Early life and education
Elizabeth Cabot Cary was born on December 5, 1822, into a Boston Brahmin family of New England ancestry. She was born at the house of her grandfather, Thomas Handasyd Perkins, on Pearl Street in Boston, Massachusetts. Her parents were Mary Ann Cushing Perkins Cary and Thomas Graves Cary (who had graduated from Harvard University in 1811).

The Cary and Perkins families were from England, and came to Massachusetts during the seventeenth century. Elizabeth Cary was the second of five daughters and seven children and was referred to as "Lizzie" by her immediate family and close friends. Because of her fragile health, she was tutored at home in Temple Place, Boston, which included the study of languages, drawing, music, and reading. She additionally received informal history lessons from Elizabeth Peabody.

Career
Agassiz traveled with her husband, Louis Agassiz, and their family to Charleston, South Carolina for his professorship in the medical school throughout the winters of 1851–1852 and 1852–1853. She visited Europe with him in 1859. She worked closely with her husband in his scientific research. Specifically, she accompanied him as the main writer and record keeper for the Thayer Expedition to Brazil, from April 1865 to August 1866, and the Hassler Expedition through the Strait of Magellan, from December 1871 to August 1872.

In 1856, in their home in Cambridge, Agassiz founded a school for girls from Boston. Her husband supported her by giving courses as well as arranging for courses from other Harvard professors. After the closure of the school in 1863 she helped organize and manage the Thayer Expedition with her husband, who she accompanied to Brazil (1865–1866). This expedition, occurring from 1865 to 1866, took place at the end of the American Civil War, its maiden voyage from New York to Rio de Janeiro beginning in the war's final week. In 1867, she began a correspondence with Arnold Guyot, a geologist and meteorologist. She also helped organize and manage the next expedition (the Hassler Expedition in 1871–1872), which was the first important marine exploration by the United States government, and made transcripts. After her husband's death in 1873, she published several books on natural history for which she had conducted research for many years.

Agassiz contributed to the founding of the coeducational Anderson School of Natural History. In 1869, she became one of the first women members of the American Philosophical Society (with Mary Fairfax Somerville and Maria Mitchell); she became a member on October 15.

Society for the Private Collegiate Instruction for Women
In 1879, Agassiz was one of seven female managing directors of the Society for the Private Collegiate Instruction for Women (Harvard Annex). This provided qualified women who intended to pursue an advancement in their education in Cambridge with the opportunity to have private tuition from professors at Harvard College.

Agassiz was essential in ensuring that the "Harvard Annex" for women's education was transformed in 1894 from Harvard University into Radcliffe College. From 1894 to 1900, this college was under their direction and from 1900 to 1903 she was honorary president. With her tact and her fundraising skills she promoted the college and contributed significantly to its continuity.

Agassiz became a member of the Ladies' Visiting Committee for the Kindergarten for the Blind, under the Perkins Institution for the Blind. She acted as treasurer for the Cambridge branch of the committee until an illness in 1904.

Research and published works
Agassiz's research can be studied through her published books in addition to her series of diary entries depicting her global ventures. Her publications include A First Lesson in Natural History (1859) and Seaside Studies in Natural History (1865), in which she was assisted by her stepson, Alexander Emanuel Agassiz. Elizabeth Agassiz originally published A First Lesson under the pseudonym Actaea. Additionally, Elizabeth Agassiz co-authored A Journey in Brazil (1868) and edited and published Louis Agassiz: His Life and Correspondence in 1885. A biography of Elizabeth Cabot Agassiz was later written by her sister, Emma F. Cary, and Lucy Allen Paton, published in the spring of 1917 with the assistance of the Council of Radcliffe College.

Personal life
Following the marriage of her older sister Mary to Harvard Professor Cornelius Conway Felton (later president of Harvard University), Agassiz began socializing with a group of intellectuals in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1846, she met scientist Louis Agassiz at a dinner with Mary and her husband. Though they wanted to marry, he was married, with three children (Pauline, Ida and Alexander) in Switzerland. His wife died in 1848. In December 1849 — when it became more socially acceptable for the couple to wed — Lizzie's father gave his blessing in support of their marriage. They married on April 25, 1850, in Boston, Massachusetts at King's Chapel. Agassiz organized the household and took care of the finances and the children. She developed strong relationships with her stepchildren, Alexander, Ida, and Pauline, and her grandchildren. She had no children of her own.

After her husband's death in 1873, Agassiz continued to devote time to her work and family. She continued to enjoy traveling, and in 1892, Agassiz ventured with family to the Pacific Coast, specifically California, for three months.

Agassiz died on June 27, 1907, in Arlington, Massachusetts of a cerebral hemorrhage. She is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery with her husband. The monument is a boulder selected from the moraine of the Aar Glaciers, near where Agassiz once lived.

Talk:Mikhael Gromov (mathematician)

Old talk
A few minutes ago I deleted him from the List of French Jews. Now I am hesitating. Here are questions: Is he French, is he Jew (or at least does he recognize himself a Jew)? Place of birth? Citizenship? Mikkalai 18:26, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Gromov was born in Russia but became a French citizen in 1995. He is almost definitely ethnically Jewish (one reliable source is, but I can get more details if you like). I don't know how he identifies religiously. However the general consensus on List of Jews and similar pages is that ethnic identity is sufficient (though an individual with only one Jewish parent who does not identify as Jewish should be mentioned as such). Juko 20:44, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Since there are "passport" categories for people, this information must be clearly stated in the article, so that he be properly categorized: is he at Category:French mathematicians, Category:American mathematicians Category:Jewish Russian people (probably to be renamed into Category:Russian and Soviet Jews), whatever. Mikkalai 21:24, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Misha Gromov is half-Jewish according to Tony Phillips, professor of mathematics at Stony Brook University. Source: Mary473 00:11, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * How is it possible to be half-Jewish? I thought the determination was simple to make in principle: If your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish. If she's not, you're not. End of story. Or so I had thought. Hanche (talk) 17:49, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

 * These are clearly private matters, and of little or no relevance to Gromov's work. Feketekave (talk) 21:20, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Nationality.
I'm not sure whether Gromov was a citizen of USA; I did not succeed in finding any sources for it (though it's written in a lot of places that in 1992 he has naturalized in France). He spent a lot of time in America, but was it citizenship, or green-card or something? Anyone knows? --Burivykh (talk) 15:05, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

The National Map

The National Map is a collaborative effort of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and other federal, state, and local agencies to improve and deliver topographic information for the United States. The purpose of the effort is to provide "...a seamless, continuously maintained set of public domain geographic base information that will serve as a foundation for integrating, sharing, and using other data easily and consistently".

The National Map is part of the USGS National Geospatial Program. The geographic information available includes orthoimagery (aerial photographs), elevation, geographic names, hydrography, boundaries, transportation, structures and land cover. The National Map is accessible via the Web, as products and services, and as downloadable data. Its uses range from recreation to scientific analysis to emergency response.

The National Map is a significant contribution to the U.S. National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) from the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and currently is being transformed to better serve the geospatial community by providing high quality, integrated geospatial data and improved products and services including new generation digital topographic maps. In addition, the National Map is foundational to implementation of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Geospatial Modernization Blueprint.

The USGS also utilizes data from The National Map Corps, which consists of volunteers who devote some of their time to provide cartographic information on structures.

The National Map is the official replacement for the USGS topographic map program.

The National Map Corps
The National Map Corps consists of volunteers who devote some of their time to provide cartographic information to the U.S. Geological Survey. The only requirements to participate are having access to the Internet and a current familiarity with the area being mapped. This data is used to update The National Map.

The program originally allowed volunteers to collect geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) via GPS receivers. The data was entered in spreadsheet format or in ESRI shapefiles and submitted via e-mail to the USGS National Geospatial Technical Operations Center(s) in Denver, Colorado, and Rolla, Missouri. During the registration process, prospective volunteers submitted a list of the 7.5 minute quadrangle maps on which they wished to work. Once accepted into the project, volunteers received their assignment and 1:24,000 scale topographic map of their quad. While there was no deadline for completing maps, the project's administrators preferred volunteers to submit coordinates for all structures in the quad no more than one year after beginning work.

In December 2006, a new Internet-based method for submitting information on structures was introduced. Using a web browser, volunteers are able to navigate maps and aerial photography, placing a point on the map and subsequently entering the name and type of structure.

From August 2008, the program stopped accepting structure data collected via GPS, but continued to use the web-based collection site.

Types of structures mapped
The following is a list of structures that can be entered on the web site. The focus is significant man-made structures. The "other" category is for man-made structures not on this list and should not include locations such as homes, restaurants or other commercial establishments.

 * Education
 * School
 * College/University
 * Emergency Response and Law Enforcement
 * Fire Station/EMS Station
 * Law Enforcement
 * Hospital
 * Ambulance Service
 * Correctional Facility
 * Government and Military
 * State Capitol
 * Mail and Shipping
 * Post Office
 * Public Attractions and Landmark Buildings

Art Agnos

Arthur Christ Agnos (born Arthouros Agnos; September 1, 1938) is an American politician. He served as the 39th mayor of San Francisco, California from 1988 to 1992 and as the Regional Head of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development from 1993 to 2001.

Early life
Agnos was born Arthouros Agnos in Springfield, Massachusetts, to Greek immigrants. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bates College and a Master of Social Work from Florida State University. He moved to San Francisco in 1966 and went to work at the San Francisco Housing Authority as a social worker with senior populations.

Early political career
Agnos was asked by California State Assemblyman Leo McCarthy to join his staff in January 1968. McCarthy was elected Speaker of the Assembly in 1974 and Agnos became his Chief of Staff. During this period, Agnos helped obtain the first California state funding for community-based mental-health services serving the lesbian and gay community, helped pass nursing-home reform, and worked for preservation of farm land.

In 1976, Agnos was elected to the California State Assembly, defeating Harvey Milk in the Democratic primary in the 16th District, which at the time covered the eastern neighborhoods of San Francisco. He served as the Chair of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee and as chair of the health subcommittee of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. Agnos also served as co-chair of the Joint Committee on South East Asian Refugees.

Agnos authored legislation that received national attention for innovative approaches to challenges in health care, welfare, and civil rights, among other areas. He authored California's model welfare reform, GAIN, that matched work requirements with funding for job training, education, and child care. Agnos also authored much of California's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, working directly with President Reagan's Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, M.D., and the President of the National Academy of Sciences, David Baltimore, Ph.D.

Although Agnos arranged for the nation's first Joint Legislative Session on the AIDS/HIV epidemic with Koop and Baltimore, the comprehensive approach to the epidemic failed to muster a majority of votes when the governor failed to support the measure.

Since then, nearly all aspects of Agnos' proposals have become law and policy in California. Agnos also authored laws that provide support for family caregivers, fair child-support payments with a calculation that remains known as the Agnos calculator, safeguards against brain damage in the boxing ring, and legislation to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Assassination attempt
On December 13, 1973, Agnos, who was then a member of the California Commission on Aging, was attending a meeting in the largely black public housing project in the San Francisco neighborhood of Potrero Hill, to discuss building a publicly funded health clinic in the area. After the meeting concluded, he was shot twice in the chest at point-blank range. His life was saved only by the downward trajectory of the bullets. By his own account, he lost a year of his life to recuperation. This was one attack of the Zebra murders and attempted murders in the city from October 1973 to April 1974. The 15 known killings and attempted murders were perpetrated by an offshoot group of the Nation of Islam, a black separatist organization, in which "points" were earned by killing a white person. Four of the killers were convicted of murders and sentenced to life imprisonment. Three had died by July 1, 2021.

Mayor of San Francisco
In 1987, Agnos ran for mayor to replace Dianne Feinstein, who was term-limited. Agnos came from behind to defeat Supervisor John Molinari, garnering 70 percent of the vote. Agnos took San Francisco in a different direction, agreeing to a consent decree opposed by Feinstein that opened the way for hiring and promotion of African-Americans and women in the fire department. He changed the priorities for the Redevelopment Commission from creating economic and business opportunities to focus on housing, resulting in the largest increase in affordable housing in twenty years. He disbanded the police unit that had engaged in spying on demonstrations. He empowered the Commission on the Status of Women with subpoena powers and independence and named more minorities and lesbians and gay men to top city commissions and department directors than ever before. He was the first mayor to ride in the annual LGBT Freedom Parade. During his term, the city won top bond ratings, ended deficit spending, and endorsed comparable worth and domestic partners, including health insurance for city workers. Following the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, Agnos refused to move homeless people forced from shelters until new housing was available, which led to a nine-month presence in Civic Center, changing the earlier policy of simply moving homeless from one place to another. In 1991, Agnos lost his re-election bid to the former police chief who promised to put the city "back on track" and who was strongly supported by the firefighters and others opposed to Agnos's policy initiatives.

Agnos' liberalism also ran counter to other conservative interests. As mayor, Agnos and his family became the first to ride in the Lesbian Gay Freedom Day Parade, appointed minorities, lesbians and gays to high city posts, and ended the city's opposition to a court-ordered consent decree to hire and promote minorities and women in the fire department which a federal judge opined was "out of control" due to racism when Agnos took office. Agnos ended a police department policy seen as permitting spying on local political organizations and ended the Department's Tactical Squad that critics blamed for abusing citizens. Agnos also strengthened civilian oversight of the Police Department.

Agnos is best known for leading the city through the recovery of the Loma Prieta earthquake, the worst since 1906, and the decision to tear down the Embarcadero Freeway (SR 480), a double-decker freeway along the city's Embarcadero that was a wall between the waterfront and the city. His decision was strongly opposed by the Chamber of Commerce and the Chinatown community, who found the freeway a convenience for business purposes, and nearly 25,000 signatures were collected to put a measure on the ballot to repeal the decision to tear down the freeway. Once Agnos obtained federal funding, that opposition melted away. A 6–5 vote at the city's Board of Supervisors paved the way to tear down the freeway, which led to the start of a decades-long effort to open up the San Francisco waterfront into what is widely considered one of the best outcomes from the earthquake. However, Agnos's 1991 opponent used the decision to play to Chinatown's sentiments and indicated he opposed tearing down the freeway. In 1991, Chinatown played a significant role in his failure to win re-election. Agnos lost in a 51.5%–48.5% election by a few thousand votes, almost the same as the Chinatown vote.

In recent years, Agnos's decision has been looked to by city leaders and elected officials in Seattle and Toronto, Canada, where Agnos' Embarcadero result is considered a potential model for replacing elevated freeways in urban areas. Under Agnos, the waterfront transit system gained an uninterrupted streetcar line with historic trolley cars running from Fisherman's Wharf in the north to Mission Bay in the south. Agnos added to the waterfront by laying plans for the city's first public access pier, Pier 7, to allow pedestrians to walk out into the Bay. Today, San Francisco has dedicated a new public pier, Pier 14, to honor Agnos for his leadership in opening the city's waterfront.

Agnos' San Francisco struggled with homelessness, a challenge that faced a number of cities in the late 1980s. Agnos convened a task force of providers, homeless advocates, city agency representatives and others to develop an approach that hoped to end the reliance on overnight shelters in favor of programs to help homeless individuals and families become self-reliant. The plan, Beyond Shelter, won national recognition and awards.

The 1989 earthquake resulted in the loss of more than 1,000 low-rent housing units, including units housing those recovering from homelessness. Agnos championed changes in earthquake recovery programs from the federal and state government and from the Red Cross that provided funds to build new facilities and housing to implement the Beyond Shelter program and to restore arts programs and facilities. In 1993, the results were named a Finalist in the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence.

During the nine months that it took to renovate and open the Beyond Shelter multiservice centers, Agnos allowed homeless individuals to camp in the park in front of City Hall, saying that the alternative was to drive them into neighborhoods and that, as long as they were in front of City Hall, city leaders would be confronted daily with the urgency of the crisis. Critics dubbed the result "Camp Agnos" and called on him to use police force to remove them, which Agnos refused to do.

Agnos remained committed to a program of expanding affordable, low-cost housing in San Francisco. The city increased funding to repair and rehabilitate public housing by 300 percent, changing the vacancy rate from ten percent to one percent. He increased other affordable housing production from 342 units when he took office to 2,240 units, winning San Francisco's first national recognition from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for Excellence in Rental Rehabilitation and a Special Achievement Award.

Agnos signed a law establishing domestic partner recognition for lesbian and gay couples that had been vetoed by his predecessor, which then became a target of repeal efforts. In 1989, voters narrowly repealed domestic partner recognition. Agnos moved forward with a Family Policy Task Force that recommended broad changes to San Francisco policy and law, including health insurance for domestic partners of city workers. In 1991, the city formally adopted domestic partner health insurance rights for the city's 20,000 employees, the largest employer to do so at that time. In 1991, San Francisco voters approved a new domestic partners recognition law for the city.

Agnos served as Chair of the US Conference of Mayors AIDS Task Force, where he organized the lobbying effort that resulted in passage of the Ryan White Care bill. He implemented the policies he advocated as a state legislator, including a 98 percent increase in the city's AIDS budget. He created the Mayors Task Force on the AIDS/HIV Epidemic staffed by Dr. Don Francis, a national leader on AIDS/HIV and credited with leading the effort to eradicate smallpox worldwide.

During his tenure, Agnos also undertook major improvements to the city's infrastructure. As first lady of San Francisco, Agnos's wife Sherry co-chaired the bond campaigns for public school renovations and a new Main Library at Civic Center, and Agnos designated that the existing Main Library become the new home for the Asian Art Museum that had been in Golden Gate Park. Agnos ended the nation's longest stalled public works project at Yerba Buena to develop a cultural hub that includes the Museum of Modern Art, Yerba Buena Center, and Yerba Buena Gardens. Agnos also proposed a waterfront site for a new San Francisco Giants ballpark, but the proposal narrowly lost in November 1989 weeks after the Loma Prieta earthquake absorbed public attention. Later the Giants ballpark was sited at the location Agnos designated and built to the same overall design by the architects and developers he selected originally.

Post-mayoral career
During the Clinton administration, Agnos served as Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii. Agnos also served as Acting FHA Commissioner and Acting Assistant Secretary for Housing, as well as Director of the Special Actions Office.

Agnos led HUD's effort to uplift San Francisco's Visitacion Valley, blighted by twin 20-story high-rises supported by HUD and which were unsafe for the residents and the community. Agnos created a partnership with the city, the residents, local community leaders, and HUD that led to the demolishing of Geneva Towers in 1998 and a new resident-led housing development of townhouses and apartments.

Agnos also crafted a HUD partnership for teacher housing in San Francisco and communities with excess land set aside for schools. Under the program, HUD financing supported construction and rental assistance for housing dedicated for teachers. San Jose, California, has a similar program now in effect.

Agnos worked with city leaders throughout the region to create the first funding for homeless coordination between neighboring cities to address concerns that services were not well matched with those in need.

Agnos also led an effort to combat predatory lending aimed at minority homeowners and to repeal "racial covenants" barring non-whites from living or staying overnight in many California communities.

Agnos worked with his mentor former California Assembly Speaker and Lt. Governor Leo T. McCarthy to establish the Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good at the University of San Francisco. He has frequently been called upon by the US State Department, the National Democratic Institute, the Asia Foundation, and other international bodies to provide leadership development on democracy building, including in the Russian Far East, the Kurdish regions of Turkey, Zaire, Sierra Leone, Angola, Korea, and as one of the first officials to arrive in Bethlehem to offer disaster assistance after the Israeli army siege of the Church of the Nativity ended on May 10, 2002. He also is frequently sought as a speaker on disaster preparedness and recovery.

In 2007, Agnos was appointed as receiver for the troubled San Francisco Housing Authority. The Housing Authority sued to block the court order, and the matter went before the California Court of Appeals. The city still failed to act for two years, while appealing Agnos' appointment. By April 2009, the SF Chronicle reported that continued inaction while Agnos' appointment remained in court "seemed to jolt City Hall into action. Agnos never took control of the agency; instead, Fortner resigned under pressure from Newsom, who appointed Mirian Saez, director of operations at Treasure Island, to run the agency on an interim basis before hiring Alvarez. Under Saez and then Alvarez, the agency sold off properties to satisfy the judgments."

Agnos' most recent projects also include advising the founders of Open House, the first senior housing planned for elderly gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in San Francisco as well as a project working with young families seeking to improve neighborhood schools in their neighborhood of Potrero Hill in San Francisco, and he has worked as a consultant with Minnesota-based Cargill and Arizona-based DMB Associates on their controversial plan to develop a bay salt pond in Redwood City.

Agnos has become involved with restricting the building of new housing in San Francisco. He strongly opposed the 8 Washington condominium project in 2013, in support of "No Wall on the Waterfront". Agnos also was a prominent advocate for Proposition B, a precedent-setting measure approved by a wide margin by voters in June 2014 that required developments along the waterfront to win voter approval if the plan called for a height that exceeded the height limits established in the Waterfront Land Use plan first approved by voters in 1990 and implemented in 1997. He is also involved with attempts to block the redevelopment of the San Francisco Flower Mart. In 2024, he supported anti-housing legislation to restrict housing supply in San Francisco's Northern Waterfront.

Personal life
The San Francisco Chronicle called Agnos a "longtime practical joker". Agnos is married to Sherry Hankins and has two sons.

References to World of Tanks web pages.
. Where does the name Nicholas Moran come from? I did not find it on any World of Tanks web page. There are a few more World of Tanks references. All or none should be SFNs. User-duck (talk) 22:37, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * It is the real name of the author using the tagline, The Chieftan on World of Tanks. He's been on History Channel. I saw him live in Stow MA a few years back at Collings FRoundation. Irish-born, US Citizen. Was in Irish Army tank outfit, emigrated, joined US Army Reserves. I think he might still be in reserves. He has worked for the gaming company for many years.

 * Yes, I am working through the refs to convert them. I think our conflicting edits might have just blown out the info box. Boo Boo (talk) 22:47, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

There is a publication date on each of the five World of Tanks pages. I assume they are mm/dd/yyyy. I would suggest that they are used instead of access-date year. User-duck (talk) 02:10, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

 * I will change to reflect these datesBoo Boo (talk) 02:25, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * User-duck, Looks like you are working on it today. I'll go through and try to update the journal/periodical citations and leave the books to you for the present.Boo Boo (talk) 16:07, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Why Would Someone Revert Good Faith Efforts to put in SFNP Format
Uh, if someone has put the time and effort in to streamline an article and put it in sfnp format so the refs and the sources connect, why remove the edits? What actual harm have the edits made? The format allows the linking to a url, so, isn't that helpful? WTF?? Boo Boo (talk) 17:41, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Can anyone find any high-quality photos of Armour tests on M4A3E2's glacis and turret plates?
The only photos available are relatively low-quality photos such as the one attached: — Preceding unsigned comment added by OnlyrushB (talk • contribs) 10:31, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Sherman DWG (Deep Wading Gear)
In one of my many deep dives to the depths of the internet, I found a bit of kit on the sherman's used during the pacific front and in preparations for Normandy. I'd love to get more people into looking into this. - MountainKemono (talk) 01:41, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
