U.S. Route 1/9 Truck

U.S. Route 1/9 Truck (US 1/9 Truck) is a United States Numbered Highway in the northern part of New Jersey that stretches 4.11 mi from the eastern edge of Newark to the Tonnele Circle in Jersey City. It is the alternate route for US 1/9 that trucks must use because they are prohibited from using the Pulaski Skyway, which carries the main routes of US 1/9. It also serves traffic accessing the New Jersey Turnpike, Route 440, and Route 7. The route is a four- to six-lane road its entire length, with portions of it being a divided highway that runs through urban areas. From its south end to about halfway through Kearny, US 1/9 Truck is a freeway, with access to other roads controlled by interchanges.

While the US 1/9 Truck designation was first used in 1953, the roadway comprising the route was originally designated as an extension of Route 1 in 1922, a route that in its full length stretched from Trenton to Jersey City. US 1/9 was designated along the road in 1926, and, one year later, in 1927, this portion of Route 1 was replaced with Route 25 as well as with a portion of Route 1 north of the Communipaw Avenue intersection. Following the opening of the Pulaski Skyway in 1932, US 1/9 and Route 25 were realigned to the new skyway. After trucks were banned from the skyway in 1934, the portion of Route 25 between Newark and Route 1 was designated as Route 25T. In 1953, US 1/9 Truck was designated in favor of Route 25T and Route 1 along this segment of road. The portion of the truck route north of Route 7 was rebuilt as part of a $271.9-million (equivalent to $ in ) project to construct new approach roads to connect US 1/9 Truck, Route 7, the Pulaski Skyway, Route 139, and US 1/9 north of the Tonnele Circle and local streets in Jersey City. Construction, which started in late 2008, was completed in late 2012.

The highway is posted on reassurance shields as a north–south route. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Straight Line Diagram, however, lists it as an east–west route and recently updated mileposts depict this alignment, with west direction signed for southbound traffic and east for northbound traffic.

Route description
US 1/9 Truck begins at an interchange with access to and from the southbound direction US 1/9, the Pulaski Skyway, in the Ironbound section of the city of Newark in Essex County. The truck route is meant to bypass the portion of US 1/9 along the Pulaski Skyway, which trucks are restricted from. It merges onto Raymond Boulevard, which continues west from the US 1/9 and US 1/9 Truck interchange into Downtown Newark. The truck restriction on US 1/9 is for the "safety and welfare of the public" according to NJDOT, not a specific bridge defect. At this point, the truck route becomes a four-lane freeway, heading to the east. A short distance later, the road comes to an interchange with the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95, or I-95) and Doremus Avenue before crossing over the Passaic River on a vertical lift bridge. Here, the route enters Kearny in Hudson County and continues east into industrial areas as the Lincoln Highway. The road has a right-in/right-out in both directions that provides access to Jacobus Avenue before it comes to an interchange with County Route 659 (CR 659). From here, US 1/9 Truck passes under a Conrail Shared Assets Operations (CSAO) railroad line and becomes a six-lane expressway, coming to an at-grade intersection with Hackensack Avenue. Past this intersection, the road crosses the Hackensack River on a vertical lift bridge and enters Jersey City. Upon entering Jersey City, the road becomes Communipaw Avenue and intersects the northern terminus of Route 440 near the Hudson Mall.

At this intersection, Communipaw Avenue continues to the east toward Communipaw and US 1/9 Truck turns to the north, becoming an unnamed four-lane undivided road and bisecting Lincoln Park before coming to an intersection with CR 605. Here, the road becomes a four-lane divided highway again, passing some urban business areas before running between wetlands to the west and Holy Name Cemetery to the east. The route heads into more commercial areas again before passing urban residences, coming to an intersection that provides access to the Pulaski Skyway. Here, US 1/9 Truck turns east on Broadway, running through a business district. A short distance later, it turns north onto an unnamed road with CR 642 continuing east on Broadway. The route passes under PATH's Newark–World Trade Center line and CSAO's Northern Branch line before crossing under the Pulaski Skyway. Immediately after, US 1/9 Truck intersects the eastern terminus of Route 7 and turns to the east, with CR 645 continuing north at this intersection. The truck route becomes a four-lane divided highway called the St. Paul's Viaduct that runs to the north of the Pulaski Skyway and passes through industrial sectors, crossing over the Northern Branch line and CR 646. A short distance later, US 1/9 Truck comes to the Tonnele Circle with US 1/9 and Route 139, where it ends.

The East Coast Greenway runs along the north side of the highway.

History
What is now US 1/9 Truck between Newark and Jersey City was originally chartered as part of Ferry Road by the New Jersey Colonial legislature in 1765. The road stretched from Newark to Jersey City along Ferry Street, US 1/9 Truck, Communipaw Avenue, and Grand Street. The Passaic and Hackensack Ferry and Road Company took over maintenance in 1828, followed by the Newark Plank Road and Ferry in 1849 (not to be confused with the similarly named Newark Plank Road). Though the company's contract was to be extended for 50 years in 1900, this was overturned by the Supreme Court of New Jersey.

In 1913, the road west of Lincoln Park became the first segment of the Lincoln Highway. The current route of US 1/9 Truck was designated to be an extension of Route 1 in 1922, a route that was to run from Trenton to Jersey City.

When the U.S. Numbered Highway System was established in 1926, the current truck route became a part of the US 1/9 concurrency. A year later, in the 1927 New Jersey state highway renumbering, Route 25 was designated to run along the entire length of the route along with US 1/9 as part of its journey from the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Camden to the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City, while Route 1 was also designated along the portion north of Communipaw Avenue in Jersey City as a part of its routing from Bayonne to Rockleigh.

Following the opening of the Pulaski Skyway in 1932, US 1/9 and Route 25 were moved to the new bridge. After trucks were banned from the Pulaski Skyway in 1934, the portion of Route 25 between Newark and Route 1 was designated as Route 25T. In the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering, US 1/9 Truck was designated to replace all of Route 25T as well as the portion of Route 1 between Route 25T and the Tonnele Circle.

Beginning in 2009, NJDOT replaced the viaduct that carries the route over St. Paul's Avenue and a CSAO line. The St. Paul's Viaduct was built in 1928 and determined structurally deficient. The $271.9-million (equivalent to $ in ) replacement was completed in September 2011. In addition to replacing the St. Paul's Avenue viaduct, the approaches to US 1/9 Truck between Route 7 and the Tonnele Circle were improved in preparation for the construction of the Replacement Wittpen bridge.

In 2021, with the opening of the new Wittpenn Bridge, the former intersection with Route 7 and US 1/9 was demolished, and the former overpass that originally bypassed the intersection was rerouted to the bridge instead. A replacement ramp to reallow traffic onto Newark Avenue after the ability to do so was removed at the intersection was opened on April 21, 2023, at 9:00 pm.

Studies are being conducted to make the intersection with Route 440 a multilevel traffic circle and to make the northern and southern (Route 440) approaches into a multi-use urban boulevard that includes grade separations and additional medians. The studies are in anticipation of a general increase of activity in Port of New York and New Jersey, as well as new development in West Side, Jersey City, and Hackensack River Greenway.

Vincent T. DeVita

Vincent Theodore DeVita Jr. (born March 7, 1935) is the Amy and Joseph Perella Professor of Medicine at Yale Cancer Center, and a Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health. He directed the Yale Cancer Center from 1993 to 2003. He has been president of the board of directors of the American Cancer Society (2012-2013). He is internationally recognized as a pioneer in the field of oncology for his work on combination-chemotherapy treatments.

Early life and education
Vincent DeVita was born in The Bronx, New York.

DeVita attended the College of William and Mary, receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in 1957. In 1961 he earned his MD degree with distinction from the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences.

Career
DeVita joined the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1963 as a clinical fellow, working with  Emil "Tom" Frei, Emil J. Freireich and others. He returned as a senior investigator in 1966 after completing his training at Yale-New Haven Medical Center in 1965. At NCI, DeVita held the following posts: Senior Investigator in the Solid Tumor Service, Head of the Solid Tumor Service, Chief of the Medicine Branch, Director of the Division of Cancer Treatment and Clinical Director of NCI (as of 1975).

While at NCI, he helped to develop MOPP, a four-drug combination that was the first successful combination chemotherapy program. At the time, many oncologists believed such an approach was too toxic and would do more harm than good. MOPP was used to treat Hodgkin's disease and diffuse large cell lymphomas, reducing the likelihood of dying from Hodgkin's disease from nearly 100% to around 30%. DeVita's results, presented in 1965 and 1970 were initially viewed with considerable disbelief. By demonstrating that a combination-chemotherapy regimen could be successful, DeVita established the basis for further combination therapies, which became a mainstay of cancer treatment. In addition, in collaboration with George Canellos, DeVita developed the combination chemotherapy CMF, which still remains a useful therapy for breast cancer.

From 1977 to 1978, DeVita was the president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).

In 1980, DeVita was appointed Director of the NCI and the National Cancer Program by President Jimmy Carter, a position he held until 1988.

From January 1989 to 1993, DeVita was Physician-in-Chief and Attending Physician at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where he was part of the program for Molecular Pharmacology.

In 1993 he returned to Yale, where he became Director of Yale Cancer Center, serving from 1993 to 2003. In 2004, he was named as the Amy and Joseph Perella Professor of Medicine at Yale University, a position to be renamed the Vincent T. DeVita Professor of Medicine after his tenure. He is currently the chair of the Yale Cancer Center advisory board and is professor of internal medicine and of epidemiology and public health at Yale's medical school.

From 2012-2013, DeVita served as president of the board of directors of the American Cancer Society. DeVita currently serves on the editorial boards of numerous scientific journals and has authored over 450 scientific articles. He is a co-editor of the textbook Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, in its 10th edition, and serves as the co-editor-in-chief of The Cancer Journal.

He is also the co-author, with his daughter Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn, of the autobiographical book, The Death of Cancer: After Fifty Years on the Front Lines of Medicine, a Pioneering Oncologist Reveals Why the War on Cancer Is Winnable—and How We Can Get There.

He was a participant in Ken Burns' 2015 PBS documentary Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies, which was based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Siddhartha Mukherjee.

Personal life
DeVita married Mary Kay Bush, with whom he had two children, Ted and Elizabeth. DeVita diagnosed his son Ted's aplastic anemia. Ted thereafter was placed in a sterile environment for his safety and died in 1980.

Ted's situation, and that of David Vetter, inspired the 1976 TV movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble starring John Travolta. Elizabeth has written about the experience of losing her brother in The Empty Room.

DeVita has been treated for prostate cancer.

Talk:Hostname

Host Name: www and host names like encarta
I don't get it what is this part of the domain name: http://[www].example.com ? I think it may be like a server name for a particular company like http://[encarta].msn.com I have my own site so I'll write an example text like what appears in the url address the bold is what I see before "webhoster" ( webhoster  is an example): http://[mysite].webhoster.com So why can't it be : http:// www.mysite.webhoster.com Anyone have an answer —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melab (talk • contribs) 00:13, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The "www." before the domain name is (often) a name of a host, so you would have to change your DNS records (the A record, I think) to include a server named "www". So "www" does not mean anything special, and is not possible to just write "www." before. You have to name some computer "www". It is a common misthough (or mistake) to think that "www" is special in any kind other than it is often used as the left-most part of a Domain name for a web host. So dns://www.mysite.webhoster.com would either point to the same site (configure youre DNS records to make www point to same IP address or redirect to dns://mysite.webhoster.com. There isn't always possible to write "www." at the beginning og the domain name, not even at the third stage (for example http://linux.org/ and http://www.linux.org/ point to different webpages). —Preceding unsigned comment added by SvartMan (talk • contribs) 17:54, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Dash or Minus Sign or Hyphen?
In the article it says: "hostname labels can only be made up of the ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (case-insensitive), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen". However, after looking up RFC 952, we learn that it is in fact a "minus sign", and after looking up hyphen we learn that they are not one of the same, and apparently it's not a dash either. So which is it? --Hm2k (talk) 20:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've answered this (duplicate) question on the Talk:Domain name page. Wrs1864 (talk) 21:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

What is a hostname versus what's not a hostname? (unclear wording)
The article provides an explanation for what is a hostname versus what isn't. The text reads,

"The domain name 'pmtpa.wikimedia.org' is not a hostname since it does not have an IP address, but 'rr.pmtpa.wikimedia.org' is a hostname. All hostnames are domain names, but not all domain names are hostnames."

Now, I pinged both example hostnames, and the first doesn't exist in DNS while the second does - but this wording is very unclear to people who might not understand how to check for themselves. As an example, it's very poor - I'm just uncertain as to how to reword it to make the most sense whilst still holding the same meaning as the current text. Anybody have any suggestions they can make to improve the clarity of the wording? Christopher (talk) 21:49, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, this section is definitely a bit unclear. I've added another subsection ("Determining hostnames on the Internet") to show how the existence of a hostname can be verified using the ping command.  The quote you mention still needs to be improved however. WatchAndObserve (talk) 04:20, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Is en.wikimedia.org a hostname?
In the article it says, "both "en.wikimedia.org" and "wikimedia.org" are hostnames because they both have IP addresses assigned to them". However, I cannot get a response by pinging "en.wikimedia.org". Is this a typo (perhaps "en.wikipedia.org" is meant instead of "en.wikimedia.org")? WatchAndObserve (talk) 04:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

RE
Pinging is not a method to "verify" hostnames. If you want to find out if a domain name has an address you need to use DNS tools, such as dig, to resolve the name. In this case, both, en.wikipedia.org and wikipedia.org resolve to the same address. en.wikipedia.org is a hostname, wikipedia.org is the name of the domain (TLD) as well as a hostname, and both are also domain names, as they are both nodes in the tree of names(labels) in the DNS. Kbrose (talk) 04:43, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi Kbrose, thanks for the clarification. However, the two hostnames in question above are the wikimedia.org domain (with an "m") and not the more popular wikipedia.org domain. WatchAndObserve (talk) 14:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

RE RE:

This article is indeed very confusing. The definition was never properly constructed based on clear concepts, And from there on it all just goes downhill. The article needs to discuss simple assignment of names to computers, and then how a host is inserted into the hierarchy of the domain name system. Kbrose (talk) 05:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Resolving invalid hostnames / host names vs domain names
I've found that many non-Windows systems refuse to resolve host names with illegal characters such as for example '-blah-.example.com' or 'semi-.transparent.com', but if you force a link between host name and IP address with the /etc/hosts file or equivalent it resolves the address. As I understand it, for the domain name and host name issue, 'web.example.com' and 'ftp.example.com' have the same domain name 'example.com'. However, they are different host names, where 'host name' could refer to the names 'web' and 'ftp' which refer to hosts locally or 'web.example.com' and 'ftp.example.com' if referring to them from outside the domain (all host names since they all refer to a single host). Chadernook (talk) 18:15, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

find out a hostname
There may be a very simple and obvious way to do this, but, how would I find out the name of the host I'm trying to connect to (to use SSH) - 220.235.193.18 (talk) 07:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is not a help forum, but your question doesn't have enough information to answer the question. What do you know about the host currently? —fudoreaper (talk) 00:02, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Article title: Hostname versus Host name
Based on a search of original documents, it looks like the correct spelling is two words (host name), not one (hostname). IEN 116, which appears to introduce the concept and name "host name" in 1979, spelled it with a space (ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/ien/ien116.txt). RFC 780, which defined the permitted length of a host name in 1981, spells it with a space. (http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc780.html). Newton's Telecom Dictionary likewise spells with a space. I realize there's inconsistency in usage worldwide (and within this article), but any objections to changing the article title to match the spelling used by the people who created the concept? Thirdbeach (talk) 22:24, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Even the body that publishes the Internet standards is not consistent in this use and both are accepted in standards documents widely, for example, cf. RFC 1178, "Choosing a Name for Your Computer", uses the compounded form. As technological standards are revised we only accept as binding the latest published revisions, and not earlier ones. As this term probably also falls in this regime, it would have to be determined what the currently most accepted or proper form is, not the historical origin. Kbrose (talk) 22:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure I agree with a standard of "currently most accepted", partly because people who work with anything URL have an incentive to ram the words together; partly because, for example, we don't revise words like "nuclear" to "nucular" just because our current president mispronounces it; partly because the second law of thermodynamics has more opportunity to throw randomness into the spelling of an unusual phrase the longer the phrase exists. But for the sake of argument, a search on icann.org returns 954 results for hostname, and "about 6700" for host name. Search of iana.org returns 17 results for hostname, 362 for host name. Google returns 12.3 million for hostname, 42.9 million for host name. A search of the RFC archives returns 27 RFCs (2 numbered above 5000) that use hostname, and 43 (3 numbered above 5000) that use host name. Now, this smacks of WP:Original Research, doesn't it? Big no-no. Brings me back to my original suggestion: what's "proper" is most likely to be the name given by the originators. "Host name" is also the spelling in Newton's Telecom Dictionary, which is in its 24th edition of being the go-to resource for the language of telecom, networking, and the Internet. Absent a "published revision" that formally changed the spelling, I'd guess the most likely explanation is that the author of RFC 1178 was an engineer who either never noticed the original spelling or was comfortable with the way he spelled it in the command line, which would probably have been rammed together (the RFC was written in 1990, after all -- no UI). Thirdbeach (talk) 00:03, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not finding the same results as you are about the frequency. I find on icann.org  2,220 for "hostname" and 277 for "host name", on the larger internet, I find 12,400,000 for "hostname" and 4,450,000 for "host name".  But, anyway, there have been similar debate about "e-mail" vs "email" and generally it has been considered a bad idea to rename stuff.  Also see WP:ENGVAR as guidance. Wrs1864 (talk) 01:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

 * See how tempting it is to do original research? :-D My search used the ICANN.org search window: here and here. Note that both means also return results for host-name and host_name, which I'm not suggesting are correct but underscore the power of entropy. My reading of WP:ENGVAR is that its intent is to respect language variations, for example between British and American English. It was never intended to defend or preserve misspellings in Wikipedia, which is a better way to describe what's under consideration in this case. Thirdbeach (talk) 02:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC) Moved Thirdbeach (talk) 18:00, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Just noticed that RFC 1178 refers to itself as an "essay" and states that "It does not specify any standard" -- it's explicitly not a binding standard. The actual standards are RFCs 1034 and 1035, which both use "host name". Apologies for throwing so much data around, but wanted to bring to the table the information you suggested is the basis for the ultimate decision. It appears pretty clear that the "currently most accepted", "proper", and "latest published technological standards" all support "Host name" as the more appropriate title. Do you come to the same conclusion? Thirdbeach (talk) 01:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Hostname Restrictions
I edited hostname restrictions, because I don't think a hostname is allowed to begin with a digit. This is based on RFC952, but I'm wondering if there is a more up to date source for that. (I'm not entirely sure that DARPA host.txt rules still restrict modern DNS-based hostnames.) Davburns (talk) 19:26, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This was changed a while back, in part to let 3com.com register their domain name. See RFC 1123 section 2.1 Wrs1864 (talk) 19:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'd missed that. Thanks.  Davburns (talk) 19:44, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

It still says a hostname cannot begin with a number and gives the RFC as source and a few sentences later it lists 3com as valid hostname. This is confusing. Ludwig Weinzierl (talk) 21:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)p
 * Thanks. I edited the article accordingly. Kbrose (talk) 22:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Hostname may (or not) be a domain name?
"A hostname may be a domain name, if it is properly organized into the domain name system."

So this implies that the hostname is not always a domain name, even "if it is properly organized into the domain name system" (because of the wording 'may'). What I'm trying to understand is, are all the hostnames (resolvable over internet DNS infrastructure) are domain names? Unclear to me. If it is so, so the above paragraph should look something like this:

"A hostname is a domain name, if it is properly organized into the domain name system."

But I'm not sure about this. Correct me if I'm wrong, or edit the main article. 62.212.196.191 (talk) 18:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree that the language 'may be' is a bit unclear. I think the intent of 'may be' in this sentence is something like 'is permitted to be', which is overly bureaucratic. So I agree with the suggestion to change the sentence as suggested by the anonymous user above. An alternate suggestion of mine is:
 * "A hostname is a domain name when it is properly organized into the domain name system."
 * followed by
 * "A domain name is also a hostname if it has been assigned to an Internet host and associated with the host's IP address."

 * The first suggestion would be ok.  Kbrose (talk) 19:48, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Is there a place where invalid hostnames can be reported? I am giving an example with a hostname which is dangerous which is what I work with all the time so you can see this is not just an academic question. The hostname is "-com DOT superhighest DOT ru". I have replaced the "." char with " DOT " for security reasons. I see no mention any place where to report the infraction of the RFCs or if somebody has teeth to enforce the rules. The days of polite people is long past. Also, in the orient they seem to have tossed all the rules out the door. If somebody can tell us WHERE we can report abuses, please put it in the main body and delete my remarks. Thanks. hhhobbit (talk) 01:00, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

This seems rather silly
"It is possible for a single host computer to have several hostnames; but generally the operating system of the host prefers to have one hostname that the host uses for itself."

umm... What does that even mean? It "prefers it?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.79.48.226 (talk) 14:34, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Hostname, Host Name or Host-Name
I've read the main page and the whole of this discussion several times over several days. There is a lot of confusion over the definition of "hostname" and "host name" and I've even seen someone asking about the use of "host-name". I've done a lot research this past week for the purpose of writing an article that will require me to define the difference between hostname and host name, if there is one. That research took me across Wikipedia (Hosts, Domain Name and Domain Name System, to mention a few) and several other sites in search of a definitive answer. Different Wikipedia articles seem to give different answers on their main pages and in their discussions; and most of the non Wikipedia sites seem just as confused.

I've read that "hostname" and "host name" have two very distinct meanings: hostname is supposed to refer to a domain name that has an IP address associated with it whereas "host name" is supposed to refer to the left most domain label of the hostname. For example, if test.example.com had the IP address 127.0.0.1 then it would be both a domain name and a hostname; and the domain "test" of test.example.com would be the host name (i.e the name of the host for the services reached by dialling its particular hostname).

To add to the confusion, I've even seen what I've just defined as a "host name" referred to as a "local host name" or "local part" as opposed to just "host name", where "host name" is intended to mean what I've just described as a "hostname".

One place that offers the first definition is whatsmyipaddress; three places that offer the second definition are dictionary.reference.com, bleepingcomputer and technet.microsoft; and two places that lend weight to the first definition are eurid.eu and pcmag.com.

Comparing "host name" with "local host name" does seem to lend credence to the idea that "host name" is a shorthand version of "local host name".

For my blog article I will stick with "hostname" to refer to a domain name that is mapped to an IP address and I will use "local part" or "local host name" to refer to the host device specified at the hostname's domain name's left most part (i.e it's final subdomain).

Can anyone offer a definitive solution to the question of whether there is any actual difference between "hostname" and "host name" or have the two terms become interchangeable since they were first used? Is there an alternative naming system for the separate parts of a domain name/hostname? And can someone with in depth knowledge of the subject please update this article and the other Wikipedia articles that I've mentioned above to make it absolutely clear as to whether there is a difference between hostname and host name? Diondeville (talk) 21:24, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Validity of underscore (_)
Regardless of what is in the standards, the underscore is creeping into domain names. Just looking through some logs I found these three which all resolve (via dig) to valid ips.

fbcdn_dragon-a.akamaihd.net

dell-dhs_ca.baynote.net

expedia-ca_en.baynote.net

This page (http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/apa/names.html) suggests "RFC 2181 significantly liberalized the valid character set including the use of "_" (underscore) essentially saying that anything goes and its up to the client to validate in context."

The sentence "some applications (e.g. IE) won't work correctly if any part of the hostname will contain an underscore character[3]." is incorrect. IE9 appears to work fine and nothing in the reference suggests otherwise. I suggest that the use of _ is creeping in and support is mixed. In my opinion in order to be robust infrastucture should support it, but users should never rely on it working. Michaeldunn123 (talk) 17:30, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Valid characters
The section regarding valid host names asserts that only a-z, 0-9, and hypen are allowed in host names. Meanwhile the Internationalized domain name article says that non-latin characters are allowed. This confusing contradiction should be clarified. Gilly3 (talk) 20:46, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Virtual hosts and Subdomains are not mentioned
The article doesn't mention Virtual Hosts, even though that is a major aspect of the functioning of hostnames.

If my website is example.com, I can create a special kind of hostname such as alice.example.com. The article doesn't describe how such a name is implemented in the server (such as Apache) and in its configuration file (such as conf) and management tools (such as WHM and CPanel and the DNS system). It doesn't really explain how a virtual host differs from a regular host, even though it seems to listen on the same port. Such a description must also explain why a virtual host such as alice.example.com is useful, and is different from a subdirectory (like example.com/alice).

There should at least be a link to Virtual hosting. We need an expert to expand this article to make it more complete and useful.

Oh, and Subdomain is just as relevant as virtual hosting. The article should explain how subdomains and virtual hosts differ, if they do. David Spector (talk) 01:14, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

What is the minimum length of the Linux hostname???
The title says it all. The maximum is not a problem because there are unlimited resources on this topic, but nobody provides any info on the minimum length. I am aware of the limitations of the special characters and symbols, but I am referring to a straightforward ANSI English alphanumeric values with out any diacritical marks or symbols. — Ineuw talk 01:04, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Spanish West Africa

Spanish West Africa (África Occidental Española, AOE) was a grouping of Spanish colonies along the Atlantic coast of northwest Africa. It was formed in 1946 by joining the southern zone (the Cape Juby Strip) of the Spanish protectorate in Morocco with the colonies of Ifni, Saguia el-Hamra and Río de Oro into a single administrative unit. Following the Ifni War (1957–58), Spain ceded the Cape Juby Strip to Morocco by the Treaty of Angra de Cintra, and created separate provinces for Ifni and the Sahara in 1958.

Spanish West Africa was formed by a decree of 20 July 1946. The new governor sat at Ifni. He was ex officio the delegate of the Spanish high commissioner in Morocco in the southern zone of the protectorate, to facilitate its government along the same lines as the other Spanish possessions on the coast. On 12 July 1947, Ifni and the Sahara were raised into distinct entities, but still under the authority of the governor in Ifni. On 10 and 14 January 1958, respectively, the Sahara and Ifni were raised into regular Spanish overseas provinces completely independent of one another.

Burrows (electoral district)

Burrows is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created by redistribution in 1957 from part of Winnipeg North, and formally came into existence in the provincial election of 1958. The riding is located in the northern part of Winnipeg.

Burrows is named after Theodore Arthur Burrows, who served as Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba from 1926 to 1929. It is bordered to the east by St. Johns and Point Douglas, to the south by Wellington, to the north by Kildonan and The Maples, and to the west by Tyndall Park. The riding's boundaries were significantly redrawn in 1999, taking in a considerable amount of territory which was previously a part of the now-defunct Inkster.

The riding's population in 1996 was 18,718. In 1999, the average family income was $35,575, one of the lowest rates in the province. Thirty-nine per cent of the riding's residents are listed as low-income, with an unemployment rate of 13%. One household in four has only one parent. Nineteen per cent of the riding's residents are over sixty-five years of age.

The total immigrant population in Burrows is 21%, with almost one in three residents speaking a first language other than English or French. The Aboriginal population is 15%.

Manufacturing accounts for 22% of Burrows' industry, with a further 15% in the service sector.

The CCF and its successor the NDP have won Burrows on all but three occasions since the riding was created, with the Liberals winning the other three elections.

My editing your user page
Hi again. (We exchanged msgs abt Rhee in the last 24.) I try to think long and hard before editing someone else's user page (as opposed to their talk page), but i figured you'd My little trick of getting two links out of a single institution's name is not something i recall seeing anyone else do (and i actually seldom use it unless i don't want to take time to make a stub out of the more specific term), so don't take my example too seriously. I was particularly pleased to find that you did write an article for your local NWR, bcz i was noticing New England NWRs last nite when i started the stub for List of U.S. national forests in order to eliminate a year-long "red link". That could be a mere coincidence, or an idea you got by looking at my User contributions after we discussed Rhee; either would be fully in the WP spirit of benefiting from random connections.

Taboo words
Hi. Yes you're right about the word spastic having undergone a relatively recent change in acceptability. There's a nice discussion of this sort of thing at euphamism. I think it's because the word began to be used as an insult, and this tainted it's use as a medical/neutral word. There used to be a charity shop in my hometown which sold donated items to raise money for the Spastics Society. I always remember reading this name with some discomfort or amusement as a child (I'm 22, by the way) because the word was already a taboo. The charity renamed itself ten years ago and is now called SCOPE. Of course this happens with all words. If you delve back into the history of cunt and fuck they have innocent enough beginnings, and in the case of fuck at least, are today becomming less taboo. Fascinating stuff. :) fabiform | talk 11:17, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Peer Review Please
Hi, you were kind enough the other week to give comment on the Manual of Style : Talk page; could you review the article that John & Wik keep reverting over at Papua (Indonesian province) : Page history -- My version speaks for itself; different maps, more content, and honest facts not twisted racist non-sense. THeir version paints Papuans as dumb blackmen lead around by a Reverend with a sing-song (please compare that paragraph to mine). Their version also removes the vital links to the US State Dept. document & the letter from JFK, without which US readers may have difficultly understanding why their government did what it did at that time.

Also they keep reverting over West Papuan Genocide - a perfectly good article that they apparently hate because the Yale University uses the term West Papua which they have expunged from their version at Human rights violations in western New Guinea and many other articles. I'm hoping some peer review may stop Wik and friend.

They accuse me of POV, which I feel their article is loaded with where-as my article avoids any POV by simply listing known facts and allowing readers to form their own thoughts. Even Tannin explained that to them but it goes in one ear & out the other apparantly. Also English language users can really only search the Internet for the country title "West Papua", as Papua would only return PNG & New Guinea pages. The current Indonesian name of the region is actually Propinsi Papua. The name issue is discussed on the talk page for a waste of time, and the meaning of Papua is even in dictionaries, sometimes even West Papua is. I just wanted to update my West Papua article to match the current Wikipedia standard.Daeron 15:06, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

Zip Day
Hi, I noticed your article on Zip Day. I'd like to ask, is this a real holiday? What is your source, and could you add a References section pointing to it? I'm inclined to believe you invented it and put it up for deletion without some evidence. Thanks. Derrick Coetzee 18:57, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I just Googled it. A prominent hit is 4444.com, which home page has front and center "Welcome to Zip City, USA 44444!"  But a search of that site for the phrase "zip day" yields nothing.  My original source was two members of a family from Newton Falls.  (Just noticed, did you? Zip Day is a red link as you have it, with capital D).  Anyway, so far everything I've seen on Google appears to have propagated out from my original article..  Ins't that interesting.

 * Anyway, gimme a couple of days, OK? I have inquiries out.  Thanx. ;Bear 23:39, 2004 Oct 15 (UTC)

 * Preliminary results: ZIP Day _was_ celebrated (how many times I don't yet know) in Newton Falls, but is now deprecated.  It should be removed from the April 4 page therefore, and I could do that.  The ZIP day page should, if kept (lets see what more thorough info I get), be 1.  updated to show past tense; 2. moved to ZIP Day (caps).  It might even be revived as a result of my inquiries (to the library first, and by them to local service clubs who were involved).  Stranger things have happened.  Anyway we'll get to the bottom of this pretty soon. ;Bear 16:03, 2004 Oct 18 (UTC)

Jon Voight
I've noticed on several articles you've changed "Jon Voight" to "Jon Voigt," even in image names, resulting in broken images. Why is this? Jon Voight receives 117,000 Google results, compared to 3,030 for Jon Voigt. IMDb also lists his name as Jon Voight. You also changed the name in all articles relating to his family members. For instance, on Chip Taylor (Jon Voight's brother), you changed Chip's birth name from John Wesley Voight, to John Wesley Voigt. A Google search for the changed name has one result, and it is a Wikipedia mirror. A search for John Wesley Voight results in many reputable pages with that as his name. Please do not continue changing this. Thank you. - MattTM | talk 08:37, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)

Town of Taos
Are you sure that Taos is a city. The town charter says:

3.12.010: FORM OF GOVERNMENT: The town of Taos is incorporated as a general law municipality under the mayor-council form of government, as provided for in chapter 3, New Mexico Statutes Annotated, 1978, as amended. The town was incorporated on May 7, 1934. (Ord. 98-2 § 1, 1998: prior code § 2-1)

It doesn't claim to be a city there. As far as I can tell because that chapter of New Mexico state code is not online, a home rule municipality is what we call a city while general law municipalities are villages and towns. Rmhermen 13:29, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)

 * I lived there for twenty years and I once ran for city council often referred to as town council.

 * New Mexico statutes are on line in a piecemeal fashion and thus a bit hard to consult. I am going to attempt to get a whole copy of section 3, Municipalities, on paper.

 * Long term I am concerned that we have so many hamlets and villages all over the US described as cities. 34 people hardly makes a city.  Side note, Cerrillos was incorporated and booming in the 19th Century, with at least a couple of thousand people, and shortly after 1900 disincorporated -- the ballot measure for that passed by a vote of six to two. ;Bear 15:49, 2004 Oct 29 (UTC)

 * I just talked with the New Mexico Municipal League and found that the three terms village, town, city — and no others — are all available by statute for a municipality to call itself, and at its own choice.  There is no distinction therein as to the form the government takes.  What I was told in 1975 (at the same office, and in person) is not true, at least not now. ;Bear 16:24, 2004 Oct 29 (UTC)
 * In Michigan, there at least three forms of local government - city, village and charter township. The smallest city (Lake Angelus, Michigan) has only 326 people but is still legally a city. Rmhermen 23:15, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * I know I can't just assume that below a certain threshold a "city" is something else. And just exactly what the word means varies from state to state.  Straightening all this out looks like a rather immense project.  ;Bear 01:41, 2004 Oct 30 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

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

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

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

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

 * Why is this necessary at all? I PD my photos to make it totally hassle-free in that regard.  If I PD all my work and I leave out a jot or tittle and somebody puts one in, and he hasn't licensed his stuff any particular way, what of that?  Does it tend to taint the article?

 * And is the originator's licensing scheme operative through successive substantive contributions? Kinda or partly or what?

 * This whole copyright thing is a wet blanket. ;Bear 01:25, 2004 Dec 11 (UTC)

 * The Multi-licensing page explains this more closely, but it can be very complicated to explain. In general if a non-multi-licensing person edits an article, anything after that point is not multi-licensed, so yeah it "taints" the article.  Of course for someone like myself who is willing to go through the work, it is possible to remove the "tainted" portion of the article and use everything that remains.  In the end the burden of doing it right is up to the person doing the copying, not the person licensing.  So in the worst case multi-licensing is just a bunch of works that don't mean anything in practice.  But in the best case scanerio, whole articles can be used without any modification.  It's messy and dirty in some cases, but at least you won't have to worry about the details if you don't decide to copy them yourself.  I'd say it doesn't hurt to multi-license, but obviously I'm biased.    – Ram-Man (comment) (talk)   01:23, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

White-tailed rat

The white-tailed rat (Mystromys albicaudatus) also known as the white-tailed mouse, is the only member of the subfamily Mystromyinae in the family Nesomyidae. This species is sometimes placed in the subfamily Cricetinae due to similarities in appearance between the white-tailed rat and hamsters, but molecular phylogenetic studies have confirmed that the two groups are not closely related. The subfamily Mystromyinae is sometimes placed within the family Muridae along with all other subfamilies of muroids.

The white-tailed rat is restricted to shrubby areas and grasslands of South Africa and Lesotho. This is an uncommon species, and populations are thought to be declining because of conversion of scrubland to pasture. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated it as being an "endangered species".

Description
The white-tailed rat is a fairly large species with a head-and-body length of 163 mm for males and 144 mm for females, with a short tail of about 60 mm. The fur is soft, woolly and dense. The head is broad, and the face is mostly grey, with pale spots above the eye and behind the ear in some individuals. The whiskers are long and the ear is rounded and dark-coloured. The upper parts of head and body are greyish-brown flecked with buff; each hair has a grey base and shaft, and a buff or blackish tip. The underparts are whitish-grey, each individual hair having a grey base and shaft and a cream or whitish tip. The tail is colourless and is clad in short white fur. The fore feet have four digits and the hind feet five. The upper surfaces of the fore feet have white hair, as do the sides and upper surfaces of the hind feet.

Distribution and habitat
The white-tailed rat is endemic to South Africa and Lesotho where it is found in grasslands and shrubby areas. It tends to inhabit burrows of meerkats and cracks in the soil during the day and venture out at night. It eats vegetable matter such as seeds and has been known to take insects. The stomach has a ruminant-like digestive action and there are bacteria in the hind gut that ferment the food. Unlike hamsters, white-tailed rats do not have cheek pouches.

Talk:Khmer people

Wikify April 2006
Don't have time now but this article needs to be subsectioned, wikified, copyedited and sourced.--WilliamThweatt 04:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

 * That, it does. NeoApsara 19:29, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * For now, I'll just delete the part about Khmers chewing betel nuts. I mean many do, but it reads more like something you find in descriptional guide books for travelers than that of an encyclopedia. David P. Chandler's work would be good references, but I don't have them with me now. Otherwise, I'd be all over this one.NeoApsara 19:55, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect Information
Migrations into the mainland regions of Southeast Asia from the north continued well into historic times. The Khmer came with earlier waves following in the wake of the proto-Malays. The Khmer are closely related to the Mon who settled further to the west. Based on linguistic and anthropoligic evidence, most scholars believe the proto-Mon-Khmer peoples originated around the area of the Brahmaputra River valley (present-day Assam, India and Tibet).

 * This is incorrect, first of all this say Khmers followed in the wake of proto-malays, why ealier waves? Are khmer not relatively late in southeast asia?  They came to present day southeast asia only or at least less then 3200 years ago.  And as for the Assam part, Mon-Khmer most likely have their origins in the southern Yangtze, seeing as The Mon-Khmer came down because of the expansion of Han westwards into Mon-Khmer territory.  Please provide more sources or change the article.

http://www.myanmar.gov.mm/Perspective/persp1997/9-97/mon9-97.htm

There was a linguistic paper by Professors Jerry Norman and Tsu-Lin Mei presented to the 3rd Sino-Tibetan Conference in 1970. The authors stated that ancient South China was almost exclusively populated by non-Chinese people. They also stated that the Austroasiatic family of languages includes Munda in northern India, Khasi in Assam; Palaung-Wa in Upper Myanmar and Yunnan; Mon-Khmer in Lower Myanmar and Combodia; as well as in parts of Vietnam, Laos and Thailand.

As the Chinese came down from their homeland in the Yellow River valley they met Mon-Khmer in the middle of the Yangtze region between 1000 and 500 B.C, when the Chinese adopted the Mon-Khmer word Krung/Krong/Krag which has evolved to the modern Chinese word Kiang or Chiang for river.

All the statements support the assumption of taking Yangtze Kiang Valley as the original homeland of the Mon-Khmer. In the Mon language, the word Krung/Krug means river in ancient literature and old Mon inscriptions but it means creek or stream in modern Mon. Because the Mons had obtained the Sanskrit word Mahasamudra for sea or ocean their own word for ocean labi subsequently changed to river and their word for river, to creek or stream.

--user:Leaki 12:53, 20 August 2006

 * If these suppositions are correct, all that means is that at the time of the Han Chinese expansion there were various Mon-Khmer groups present in Southern China. It doesn't mean that is where they originated, only that this is where they were at the time in the process of their migration. Where were they before that?  More solid linguistic, anthropoligical, genetic and archaeological evidence and even origin-myths of various Mon-Khmer cultures point to an origin further east west for the Proto-Mon-Khmers.  As for the part about "earlier waves", I'm sure you'll agree that the various Mon-Khmer tribes didn't just march en masse into the peninsula.  The most accepted migration model is that they trickled in in waves, settling in small communities where ever they could (out of the way of the Proto-Malays already present), until after probably generations they were numerous enough to become a political/military force. The various hill tribes still extant today are most probably remnants of these earlier Mon-Khmer migrations that were eventually displaced by the Khmer.  If you can word this better, then by all means do so, but the current version, as you altered it today, is not just incomplete, but incorrect.--WilliamThweatt 20:12, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Can you tell me more? I had no idea that there were proto-mon-khmer. I have little doubt that the Yangtze was probaly home to the Mon-khmer people, seeing as the khmer were quite young while compared to malays, as you say east, what do you mean?  East as far as the middle yangtze?  And I agree that they didn't march in masses, but I think it is more appropiate to put that in a seperate article, maybe you'll like to create ones for proto mon-khmer because the khmers, whom are in cambodia today are not protos, so it would not belong in this article.  Khmer whom inhabit Cambodia today are of the same linage as modern mon-khmers, maybe only the khasi people are protos?  Khmers themselve are relatively late if there were proto mon-khmers, but when compared to malays whom were the first to inhabit Southeast asia, they themselves are late, I guess at 2300 b.c?  Because that is when Mon-khmer started divergance from other groups.  But I think any information on proto-mon-khmer should stay out of modern Khmers.  I'll edit, and add proto-mon khmer article.  But you have more knowledge on protos, so i hope you can help write it.  --leaki

 * My mistake, I was writing in a hurry, on my way out the door, so to speak. I meant to say further west as in the Brahmaputra River Valley, not east.  And, by your reply, I'm not sure you understand the terminology used in studying historical population migrations/classifications.  "Proto-Mon-Khmer" is not a designation of a separate ethnic group, but rather is used in reference to the "original" Mon-Khmer population (ie before differentiation into separate sub-groups such as Mon, Khmer, Pear, Katuic, etc.).  As I said earlier, the Mon-Khmer peoples most probably "stopped over" in the area around the Yangtze Valley, but this can not be their original homeland, this was just one place that they settled along their migration. That area of Southern China was home to the Tibeto-Burman and Tai (Daic) peoples.  Analysis of both Y-chromosome DNA and mitochondrial DNA shows that the Tibeto-Burman and Tai (Daic) people have ancient origins tied to the people of East Asia while the same genetic research shows that the Austro-Asiatic peoples, which include the Mon-Khmer, share the ancient DNA markers of Southern Asia (Dravidians and other people groups in mountainous eastern India).  The genetic evidence alone rules out the posibility of the Yangtze as the homeland of the Mon-Khmers.  It may have once been a "home", but not their original "Homeland".--WilliamThweatt 23:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I doubt the proto mon-khmers actually came from the brama river, where is all these information coming from, you have to provide somthing. And I doubt also that mon-khmers are closer to dravidans then tai or chinese, munda genes are not to be account for because they are no longer wholly related to their ancient ancestors, they have been absorbed by dravidians, but if the brama river is home to the munda not mon-khmer.  As for their origins in South India's mountains, it can not be true since we know taht the mongoloids race originated in east, or possibly central asia.

 * Since school started back up, I don't have as much time to devote to Wikipedia as I would like. I will try to dig up the current literature from which this is taken.  Until then I will not place it back in the article.  However, I think you misunderstand both the information I placed in the article and the nature of genetic studies.  First of all, the Mon-Khmer are not mongoloids.  The "mongoloid" phenotypes that currently manifest themselves in the Khmer population are due to relatively recent admixture of Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai genes.  Secondly, the genetic research allows us to look back in time and gives an account of when certain "racial-specific" (for lack of a better term) markers were introduced into the populations being studied.  Setting aside the more recently introduced markers (as in the case of the Munda, since you mentioned them) we get a picture of the "core" Mon-Khmer population.  And that "core" is much more similar in genetic make up to peoples like the Dravidians and those of far-Eastern India than to the other people groups presently in Southeast Asia.  I will get the source up for you as soon as I can, but I can't say for sure how soon....it's a lot of material to wade through in addition to my other duties.--WilliamThweatt 21:04, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

 * O.k, now its just blatant stupidity. Khmers, or mon-khmers were originally mongoloids and like most of southaeast asians originated in china.  The hill tribe mon-khmers have absolutely no indian gene, and as for the munda they could not have been the core of mon-khmer because they themselve have mongoloid blood, which is strange since they live mainly with dravidians and have dravidian bloods.  Vietnamese themselves are mon-khmer, and they ahve been sinicized to a certain extant.  The mon-khmer race, or better understood as AA people have lived and range from Tibet to central china southern of the Yangtze river.  They bordered the Daic people who lived to the east.

 * Here is what I found regarding DNA -

 * Actually I think either mon-khmers adopted the speach of the proto-mundas or vice versa because they are in two diffrent population pools. The Mon-khmer may or may have not originated in india, but there might be a confusion between the origins of Austroasiatic and the origins of Munda.  One supporting reason to suggest that they originated from India is that the Nicobarese Shompen have migrated 14,000 years ago.  One argument that they did not is the large presence of Mon-khmer vocabulary for rice related things in Tai, old Chinese and Hmong languages.  They could have likely migrated from china via the Yangtze.  But then again, they could have came from either.  One things for sure, there were people in insular southeast asia before the Mon-khmers.  (CanCanDuo 04:40, 25 December 2006 (UTC))

"Spam" Links
I removed the whole of External Links. Some of these sites serve do not help with learning more about the Khmer people. And some of them were added to support their agenda or advertise their site (such as the Khmerdoctors and that weblog link). Feel free to add better links that do not have an agenda or are personal pages. External links should be informative in regards to the article (i.e. provide information on Khmer people) with no bias and unverified information. --Hecktor 16:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

New Assessment Criteria for Ethnic Groups articles
Hello,

WikiProject Ethnic groups has added new assessment criteria for Ethnic Groups articles.

I rated the Khmer people article: B-Class, with the following comments (see link to Comments page in the Ethnic groups template atop this talk page):
 * A lot of good work on this page.
 * Good coverage of topic.
 * Could definitely use some wikifying and more in-text citations associated with references in the reference section.

You can give this article (and any other article) a rating, as described below.

 * -->How to assess articles

Revisions of assessment ratings can be made by assigning an appropriate value via the class parameter in the WikiProject Ethnic groups project banner Ethnic groups that is currently placed at the top of Ethnic groups articles' talk pages. Quality assessment guidelines are at the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team's assessment system page. After rating the article, please provide a short summary to explain your ratings and/or identify the strengths and weaknesses. To add the summary, please edit this article's ratings summary page. A link to this page can be found in the Ethnic groups template on the article's talk page.

Please see the Project's article rating and assessment scheme for more information and the details and criteria for each rating value. A brief version can be found at Template talk:Ethnic groups. You can also enquire at the Ethnic groups Project's main discussion board for assistance.

Another way to help out that could be an enjoyable pastime is to visit Category:Unassessed Ethnic groups articles, find an interesting-looking article to read, and carefully assess it following those guidelines.

Thanks! --Ling.Nut 13:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Closely Related?
The article says Khmers and Mons are closely related, really? I know of three Mon-Khmer sub grouping, Northern, Eastern and Southern and the Khmers are in the Eastern group along with the Bahnars, Pearics, and Vietic. Mon are in the southern group, which the nicobarese are also. Althought clearly related, it is like saying the Germanic and Romance are closely related. I suggest taking this one out. --CanCanDuo 16:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

"related groups" info removed from infobox
For dedicated editors of this page: The "Related Groups" info was removed from all Infobox Ethnic group infoboxes. Comments may be left on the Ethnic groups talk page. Ling.Nut 21:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Etymology of "Khmer"?
I was looking for the origin of the name "Khmer" and I couldn't find any information. I don't know if that's because the origin of "Khmer" is unknown. But even in that case, the fact that it's unknown should at least be mentioned. Henrypijames 15:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * While the etymology of the ethnonym "Khmer" is not known with certainty, it is assumed by most scholars to derive from an ancient ethnonym of probable Mon-Khmer origin. I find this topic quite interesting, but there is little source material available either on the internet or in commonly available publications.  The Khmer themselves have been aware of the lack of knowledge concerning the etymology of the word and from an early period have considered the Sanskrit-sounding term "khemera" as the source.  However, according to the Center for Khmer Studies in Siem Reap, "the word 'khemara' is actually a coining by the Khmers themselves, and is a pseudo-Pāli reconstruction of the ethnonym “Khmer” – a term of probably Mon-Khmer origin"..  The theory most accepted by scholars is that the term "khmer" contains an ancient Mon-Khmer element, 'khaa', which most likely meant something similar to "people".  This element is also evident in other Mon-Khmer ethnonyms such as Khmu, Katu and Khasi.  Although this hypothetical element has been lost in modern Khmer, 'khaa' was borrowed into Thai/Lao and originally used as a general term to refer to the Mon-Khmer peoples in Thai/Lao areas, but in historical times has come to have a derogatory meaning and in modern usage is often taken to mean "slave" (see ).--William Thweatt Talk | Contribs 20:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

90% of 13.9 million, or 100% of 13.9 million?
The infobox on the right says that Cambodia has a Khmer population of 13.9 million, but the body text says that only 90% of Cambodia's 13.9 million inhabitants are Khmer. Which is correct? LachlanA (talk) 03:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Good catch. 13.9 million is the current estimate of the total population of Cambodia of which approximately 90% (or 12.5 million) are ethnic Khmers. I have edited the infobox to reflect this.--William Thweatt Talk | Contribs 19:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Population in Vietnam

khmer origin
I think that khmer are origined from kambojas that are indo-iranian warriors Ipradyuman (talk) 12:21, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thinking it does not make it so. No reliable source makes this claim. In fact, quite the opposite, numerous DNA studies have shown that Mon-Khmer populations (including the Khmer) are genetically distinct from Indo-Iranians. The ancient name of Cambodia, "Kambuja", comes from two Pali/Sanskrit words Kambu ("gold") and ja ("born of" or "giving birth to"), giving a loosely translated "place birthed in gold" or "land born of gold". The name was a reference to the term Suvarnabhumi ("Land of Gold") used by ancient India to refer to various lands of Southeast Asia. They are completely unrelated to the Indo-Iranian Kambojas at the other end of the continent 5000+ miles away.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 22:31, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Antonio Cánovas del Castillo

Antonio Cánovas del Castillo (8 February 1828 – 8 August 1897) was a Spanish politician and historian known principally for serving six terms as Prime Minister and his overarching role as "architect" of the regime that ensued with the 1874 restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. He was assassinated by anarchist, Michele Angiolillo.

Leader of the Liberal-Conservative Party—also known more simply as the Conservative Party—the name of Cánovas became symbolic of the alternate succession in the Restoration regime along with Práxedes Mateo Sagasta's.

Early career
Born in Málaga as the son of Antonio Cánovas García and Juana del Castillo y Estébanez, Cánovas moved to Madrid after the death of his father where he lived with his mother's cousin, the writer Serafín Estébanez Calderón. Although he studied law at the University of Madrid, he showed an early interest in politics and Spanish history. His active involvement in politics dates to the 1854 revolution, led by General Leopoldo O'Donnell, when he drafted the Manifesto of Manzanares, which accompanied the military overthrow of the sitting government, laid out the political goals of the movement, and played a critical role as it attracted the masses' support when the coup seemed to fail. During the final years of Isabel II, he served in a number of posts, including a diplomatic mission to Rome, governor of Cádiz, and director general of local administration. That period of his political career culminated in his being twice made a government minister, first taking the interior portfolio in 1864 and then the overseas territories portfolio in 1865 to 1866. After the 1868 Glorious Revolution (Revolución Gloriosa), he retired from the government, but he was a strong supporter of the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy during the First Spanish Republic (1873–1874) and as the leader of the conservative minority in the Cortes, he declaimed against universal suffrage and freedom of religion. He also drafted the Manifesto of Sandhurst and prevailed upon Alfonso XII to issue it, just as he had done years previously with O'Donnell.

Prime Minister
Cánovas returned to active politics with the 1874 overthrow of the Republic by General Martínez Campos and the elevation of Isabell II's son Alfonso XII to the throne. He served as Prime Minister (Primer presidente del Consejo de Ministros) for six years starting in 1874 (although he was twice briefly replaced in 1875 and 1879). He was a principal author of the Spanish Constitution of 1876, which formalised the constitutional monarchy that had resulted from the restoration of Alfonso and limited suffrage to reduce the political influence of the working class and assuage the voting support from the wealthy minority becoming the protected status quo. Cánovas del Castillo played a key role in bringing an end to the last Carlist threat to Bourbon authority (1876) by merging a group of dissident Carlist deputies with his own Conservative party. More significantly, his term in office saw the victory achieved by the governmental Spanish troops in the Third Carlist War, the occupation of the Basque territory and the decree establishing an end to the centuries-long Basque specific status (July 1876) that resulted in its annexation to a centralist Spain. Against a backdrop of martial law imposed across the Basque Provinces (and possibly Navarre), heated negotiations with Liberal Basque high-ranking officials led to the establishment of the first Basque Economic Agreement (1878).

An artificial two-party system designed to reconcile the competing militarist, Catholic and Carlist power bases led to an alternating prime ministership (known as the turno pacifico) with the progressive Práxedes Mateo Sagasta after 1881. He also assumed the functions of the head of state during the regency of María Cristina after Alfonso's death in 1885.

Political crisis
By the late 1880s, Cánovas' policies were under threat from two sources. First, his overseas policy was increasingly untenable. A policy of repression against Cuban nationalists was ultimately ineffective and Spain's authority was challenged most seriously by the 1895 rebellion led by José Martí. Spain's policy against Cuban independence brought her increasingly into conflict with the United States, an antagonism that culminated in the Spanish–American War of 1898. Second, the political repression of Spain's working class was growing increasingly troublesome, and pressure for expanded suffrage mounted amid widespread discontent with the cacique system of electoral manipulation.

Cánovas' policies included mass arrests and a policy of torture: During a religious procession in 1896, at Barcelona, a bomb was thrown. Immediately three hundred men and women were arrested. Some were Anarchists, but the majority were trade unionists and Socialists. They were thrown into the notorious prison at the fortress of Montjuïc in Barcelona and tortured. After a number had been killed, or had gone insane, their cases were taken up by the liberal press of Europe, resulting in the release of a few survivors.

Reputedly it was Cánovas del Castillo who ordered the torture, including the burning of the victims' flesh, the crushing of their bones, and the cutting out of their tongues. Similar acts of brutality and barbarism had occurred during his regime in Cuba, and Canovas remained deaf to the appeals and protests of civilized conscience.

His attempts to stabilize Spain's parliamentary system achieved a measure of success until World War I in which Spain was not spared the disturbances that ravaged much of the European continent. According to some views, his regime was a welcomed change from Spanish liberalism, considered by some to deny equal participation to political rivals. The restored parliamentary monarchy recognized the principle of allowing rival political opponents within the framework of a constitution. Yet, it would be decades before universal male suffrage and other typical characteristics of modern democratic systems were implemented; it was still very much an electoral system dominated by parties of established local elites.

Man of letters
At the same time, Cánovas remained an active man of letters. His historical writings earned him a considerable reputation, particularly his History of the Decline of Spain (Historia de la decadencia de España) for which he was elected at the young age of 32 to the Real Academia de la Historia in 1860. That was followed by elevation to other bodies of letters, including the Real Academia Española in 1867, the Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas in 1871 and the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in 1887. He also served as the head of the Athenaeum in Madrid (1870–74, 1882–84 and 1888–89).

Assassination

In 1897, he was shot dead by Michele Angiolillo, an Italian anarchist, at the spa Santa Águeda, in Mondragón, Guipúzcoa. Angiolillo invoked vengeance on Canovas on behalf of the execution of Jose Rizal and other Barcelona anarchists. He thus did not live to see Spain's loss of her final colonies to the United States after the Spanish–American War.

Personal life
He married María de la Concepción Espinosa de los Monteros y Rodrigo de Villamayor on 20 October 1860; he was widowed on 3 September 1863. He married Joaquina de Osma y Zavala on 14 November 1887. No progeny survived him.

Ideology and thought
Cánovas was the chief architect of the Restoration regime, that strived for bringing stability to the Spanish society. It has been emphasized that the two figures most influential to his political ideas were Edmund Burke (from whom he derived a brand of traditionalism with a historicist rather than religious matrix) and Joaquín Francisco Pacheco. Cánovas embraced an essentialist, metaphysical and providentialist conception of the nation. A staunch opponent to universal suffrage, he held the view that "universal suffrage begets socialism in a natural, necessary and inevitable way".

A supporter of slavery, he declared in November 1896 in a press interview: "Blacks in Cuba are free; they can enter into contracts, work or not work, and I think that slavery was much better than this freedom which they only took advantage of to do nothing and form masses of unemployed. Anyone who knows the blacks will tell you that in Madagascar, the Congo, as in Cuba, they are lazy, savage, prone to misbehavior, and that you have to lead them with authority and firmness to get anything out of them. These savages have no owner other than their own instincts, their primitive appetites".

In reference to his political and intellectual stature, Cánovas was nicknamed as el Monstruo ("The Monster") by his peers.

Legacy

The policies of repression and political manipulation that Cánovas made a cornerstone of his government helped foster the nationalist movements in both Catalonia and the Basque provinces and set the stage for labour unrest during the first two decades of the 20th century. The disastrous colonial policy not only led to the loss of Spain's remaining colonial possessions in the Pacific and Caribbean but also seriously weakened the government at home. A failed postwar coup by Camilo de Polavieja set off a long period of political instability, which ultimately led to the collapse of the monarchy and the dissolution of the constitution that Cánovas had authored.

His white marble mausoleum was carved by Agustí Querol Subirats at the Pantheon of Illustrious Men, in Madrid.

Dustan Mohr

Dustan Kyle Mohr (born June 19, 1975) is an American former Major League Baseball outfielder who played for several teams between 2001 and 2007.

Amateur career
A native of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Mohr attended Oak Grove High School and the University of Alabama. In 1996, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League. Mohr was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the ninth round of the 1997 MLB Draft.

Professional career
After spending three seasons in the Indians' minor league system, Mohr was released and signed with the Minnesota Twins as a free agent in 2000. Starting midway through the 2001 season, the Twins used a platoon of Mohr and Bobby Kielty in right field. This platoon persisted on and off for two years. Twins fans were so accustomed to seeing one or the other player in right field that broadcasters Bert Blyleven and Dick Bremer dubbed the duo "Dusty Kielmohr".

After four seasons in the Twins organization, Mohr was traded to the San Francisco Giants before the 2004 season. Mohr struggled during the first few months before catching fire in early June. His aggressive defense and clutch hitting made him a favorite among Giants fans.

The Giants closed in on the division leading Los Angeles Dodgers in the last month of the season. In the second to last series of the season, against the San Diego Padres, Mohr was injured as he tracked down a foul ball in right field. He tripped over the bullpen mound as the ball tailed towards the stands. He held on to the ball, and the Padres scored the game's winning run.
