User talk:Jguk/Archive3

Hello
Thank you for taking notice of my writing. What article have you read of mine? I have been here for only a month. On biography Eddie August Schneider is related. My research started with a single photo in a family album and took me all the way to Chicago to do the research. Now I am trying to find him in old newsreel footage. The American newsreels are not on the Internet yet, so I have to write to all the archives. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 03:04, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The issues you raised
Feel free to move this comment to the sandbox talk page. I'm not sure where you want any public discussion to occur.

The first point you address is along the lines of: Criticism -- checking out another Wikipedian on Google or whatever is "snooping" and is improper; response -- there's an exception to that principle where the subject of the inquiry has expressly invited the inquiry. I don't accept a ban on Googling as a general principle. Therefore, I have nothing to add on whether a case of this type should be an exception.

Your second point refers to the details of this specific instance. You then say, as to both points, "I am thinking about raising these issues in the abstract...." Alas, IMO, this is the kind of issue about which one can say almost nothing useful in the abstract. For example, the phrase "conflict of interest" can embrace a wide range of criticized behaviors.

My impression is that you want to avoid personalities by saying that we should have a general rule on the subject. For each of various non-Wikipedia events in an individual's life (felony conviction, personal bankruptcy filing, whatever), here are the Wikipedia consequences (e.g., personal bankruptcy might be deemed immaterial to most committees but thought by some people to be a disqualifier for certain roles in fundraising). If that's your idea, I agree that it's better to have a general rule, which is then applied in specific cases, as opposed to deciding each case completely on its own, which leaves the process subject to personalities.

The trouble is that we can't formulate a general rule that would fairly dispose of something like "conflict of interest". There are two nice simple versions: (1) Nothing outside Wikipedia is at all relevant here. (2) Any public finding of "conflict of interest" disqualifies the person from the following roles on Wikipedia: [insert list]. Each of these rules exemplifies Mencken's comment: ""There is always an easy solution to every human problem—neat, plausible and wrong."   I wouldn't support either rule.  Therefore, I don't know how you could go about raising the issue in the abstract.  It always turns on the facts of the particular case.  You might, however, try a comment on the Village Pump.  Judging from the comments already received, I think you might find a flood of support for version (1), which I guess would dispose of the matter, at least for now.  Down the road, when someone gets nailed offline for something really vile, people might conclude that version (1) was too simple. JamesMLane 17:37, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * The biggest problem with this issue is the public way in which it was raised. People could have e-mailed their concerns to the ArbCom and tried to get a more private discussion going. But in addition to that, in real life, the fact of a conflict of interest in one area does not imply there will be a conflict in any other. If participants feel an aribtrator has a confict, that must be shown with reference to the particular case, not with reference to something that happened in an unrelated case many years ago. If that rule were to apply, we would have no judges anywhere in the world who were allowed to hear cases. Furthermore, a person who is suspended from the practice of a profession for one month is allowed to practise it again after that month, so how can this mean, several years later, that they shouldn't be allowed to be a Wikipedia artibrator? There's no internal logic to that reasoning. Slim 17:59, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)

Take more care when reverting
Hi. You're wrong about the use of "Her Majesty": its usage is POV. But that's not why I'm here. Possibly the most annoying thing about Wikipedia is when someone reverts an edit because they disagree with one small part of it. Please do not do this: instead, change the part you disagree with, if you have to. But leave the rest of the edits in place. Thank you. -- Avaragado 21:27, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You should know about Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/User:Amgine/Maureen's RfC. I have inferred that although you would like the material deleted, I doubt you agree with the VFD itself. If I am wrong, feel free to delete my comment about that. However this turns out, it might be good to develop a policy or guideline in case it happens in the future.

Style guide
I've withdrawn my request for arbitration. And I'm starting to draft answers to your questions about the style guide. Maurreen 17:12, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks jguk 17:33, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I appreciate your approach to my recent reversion.

 * I have copied your questions to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (jguk's changes) and answered them there, with some elaboration. I am willing to stay out of further developments for a while, as you suggested.

 * About your opinion that any form of standard English should be OK -- that can be inveterpreted very broadly, such as to mean more than just different national varieties. In my view, that could lead to little style at all, which would be a radical departure. I am less concerned with individual style issues than with radical departures.

 * A lot of perceptions of oddity are subjective. For example, to me it is odd to capitalize titles unless they are immediately before a name. Maurreen 19:42, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I wanted to clarify that I am still involved with the style guide, just staying out of the discussion or any changes about "period", "U.S.", and the serial comma.
 * Also, I'd like to either archive or split off the discussion about the quote in the style guide, but I won't if you object. Maurreen 15:36, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, that's what I meant - though I think it would be best if we both restrained the volume of our comments going forward. In ten days' time, say, we'll see where the discussion on "period (full stop)", "U.S." and the Oxford comma has got us (unless others have determined the issues sooner).

 * As you can see, I'd rather replace a lot in the style guide on punctuation, Oxford commas, etc. with just a recommendation to use standard English. I'm not sure what your uncertainties are: I wouldn't call a decision on whether to use italics or inverted commas for a book or song title, for instance, to be a decision on what form of standard English to use.

 * I'd also add that any recommendation against using a form of standard English is most likely to be ignored. A recommendation of when to use italics (as long as it is consistent with current majority practice) is not. This is relevant. Policy should reflect practice, just as practice should reflect policy.

 * I'm not really sure what your last sentence means. On the quote at the start of the style guide, there appears to be support for replacing it with something of our own - it's just a case of, with what? Is it time to move onto the "with what?" jguk 17:45, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I got caught up in some things and I'm not sure how well I can respond to all your comments right now.

 * About the quote at the beginning of the style guide, apparently we interpret the discussion differently, so I'd like to suggest that we include that with the rest of the issues we're staying out of for the time being.

 * About replacing much of the style guide with just a recommendation to use standard English, I'm not sure how well we're understanding each other, and I'm not sure how to express myself better.

 * This is a little confusing to me: "I wouldn't call a decision on whether to use italics or inverted commas for a book or song title, for instance, to be a decision on what form of standard English to use." I'm not saying that a decision on italics is based on nationality. But at least in the USA, use of italics varies. For example, italics are usually used in books and magazines, but infrequently in newspapers.

 * Side comment: No biggie or value judgment either way, but I might not see your replies to me if they are here.Maurreen 08:45, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Current sports events
Hi, is there a legitimate reason why you've repeatedly changed the date format in Upcoming events? My understanding was that when it isn't POV one way or the other, and it isn't a page exclusively devoted to events affecting North American or British English-speaking areas that you leave it as it was. Since some of the date ranges are written in the form Jan 4-7, for example, writing them the other way makes it so that it says: I'm not switching it back, but I'd like a rationale for the switch. Jonpin 03:11, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) 4 Jan-7. This just looks awkward.
 * 2) 4-7 Jan. I think this is less preferable because the first date of the event is not contiguous.
 * 3) 4 Jan-7 Jan. In the upcoming events sidebar, minimizing the width of events is highly treasured, so this isn't good.

 * My comments expressed my frustration over your four-month long obsession with a comma. I am also annoyed that after a number of users working hard, in their leisure time, to improve an article to featured article quality, the first comment they got was an objection over a such a trifling thing.

 * And to be honest I don't even know what you want mediation over, not to say that it is a thoroughly time consuming process for all concerned, and best not rushed into. jguk 18:58, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Answers

 * Ben, may I ask why you have (together with Danny) banned Cantus for six months. Have I missed something in the recent ArbCom decision?
 * The Arbitration Committee ruled in Cantus v. Guanaco that Cantus may not revert more than once per article in any given 24-hour period (remedy #3). Cantus went on a massive reversion spree/multi-page edit war (apparently relating to templates on the country articles) with Gzornenplatz. He also convinced himself that Gzornenplatz is the hard-banned user Wik, and redirected Gzornenplatz's userpage to Wik's. Cantus was blocked for violation of the Arbitration Committee ruling and immediately created and user obvious sockpuppets to vandalise, bait Gzornenplatz, and generally engage in large-scale disruption —TimComm, Lazyfair, Ground0, Tumlti, and Xsysl. One sockpuppet—I forget which—moved Gzornenplatz's userpage to Wik's, which is quite annoying to repair. After the fifth sockpuppet, Danny and I jointly blocked a range of IPs for six months in Chile after consulting with Tim Starling. This block doesn't effect the Spanish Wikipedia, and if Danny or I get e-mails from accidentally blocked users we'll immediately unblock. But as of now, Cantus is under a six-month block—not really for violation of the ruling but for page move vandalism (comparable to the "Willy on Wheels" vandal). If/when he returns, he'll be liable to be the subject of another Arbitration Committee decree—I think Gzornenplatz would probably ask for a ruling.
 * I note that you have turned the userpages of Cantus' sockpuppets into redirects to Cantus. Whilst this seems perfectly reasonable to me, I'm just wondering if it's general practice. For example, should User:172's revert of User:Cantus' edit of User:Wik itself be reverted?
 * I think the redirects help other users not familiar with the incidents to understand. As to your second question: while it has been speculated that Gzornenplatz might be a reincarnation of Wik, this has not been proved or officially declared. Since Wik created a vandalbot to vandalise Wikipedia, I doubt that Jimbo would let Gzornenplatz/Wik continue to edit. Of course, anything is possible. And even if Gzornenplatz was Wik, Cantus's edits were entirely unacceptable and in any case violated general practice and the Arbitration decision.
 * Also I notice that you are taking an active role in blocking users following ArbCom decisions. I thought the practice was that Arbitrators do not enforce their own decisions, but it seems advisable to follow this practice anyway as it protects Arbitrators as requiring other admins to enforce them shows that the ArbCom decision is accepted by the community and also means that Arbitrators avoid the hassle that comes from complaints from users who have been blocked. And having Arbitrators kept above the fray is probably in your interests more than it is in anyone else's.
 * I wasn't an Arbitrator at the time, but I agree with you. I'm not going to make any Arbitration enforcements and will leave that up to the competent 300+ admins who are not Arbitrators. Warmest regards, and in hopes of an ongoing dialogue --Neutralitytalk 21:50, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)

Edits
Personally I have nothing against Gzornenplatz. However he has reverted all the images of the states of India reverting to totally unencyclopedic and biased information. On hindsight, I realise that protecting images is useless as anyone can modify it and link another image to an article. Nichalp 19:22, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * I have already posted a message on Gzornenplatz page. Will wait for a reply from him. As for the cricket images, you don't have any access to cricket gear; friends etc.? PS I have loads of interesting cricket stats to put up after I finish my Sikkim project. Nichalp 19:46, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

The pope (and other such figures)
The pages where I have reached compromise on this issue are Tenzin Gyatso, Mahathir bin Mohamad, and Muhammad, all of which describe the titles and honorifics without actually using them. We can drop ‘His Holiness’ from the beginning, and append a sentence noting that his formal style is ‘His Holiness’, or that he is addressed and referred to by many of his supporters as ‘His Holiness’.

For the record, and I have already stated this, I consider John Paul to be no better than anyone else, but I do consider him to be the pope (which is to say, the head of the Roman Catholic Church), and I usually honor his desire to be known as ‘John Paul’; though it was never my understanding that in taking his papal name he was in any way rejecting his birth name, so both are consistent with the idea of self-identification. For all we know, he considers himself Karol Wojtyła, and his papal name was imposed by tradition. On a related issue, I do think it is better to resolve neutrality disputes, but if they exist, they must be acknowledged. And I am acting in good faith, presenting my reasons clearly and logically, and summarizing my edits honestly, so I think I am entitled to a page that meets my objections, or if not, then the right to dispute (as the case may be) the neutrality or factual accuracy of any page I choose. I am not a troll; I honestly believe that the use (as opposed to description) of these honorifics is not neutral and, moreover, is not in accord with objective usage elsewhere. I think I am making the encylopedia more of what it aspires to be.— Ford 00:31, 2005 Jan 14 (UTC)

country infoboxes
Hi, there's a new Solution E that's been proposed for the country infoboxes; I've changed my vote from the Solution D that I proposed, earlier. The new option, proposed by User:Zocky, transcludes a subpage instead of using the template mechanism for this.

See: Nepal's infobox is implemented at Nepal/infobox using Template:Infobox_Country; Tuvalu's is implemented at Tuvalu/infobox as a wiki table.

English Cricket Team Article
Hi Jguk,

Unfortunately I wasn't at the Oval(managed to get to the Headingley Test of the same series, a miserable defeat for England :-. I compiled that 'report' mostly from memory, but I had to check the stats(wasn't sure of Trescothick's exact score, for example).

I wrote the end of the article in a bit of a hurry and didn't put any links in, so I'll go that soon. I thought that as we have a 'greatest matches' section, 'greatest players' should be there too. I agree with respect to NPOV, but I think that most people could agree on the greats. I can imagine a debate over some players but surely not Hutton, Botham, Fry, et al.

Thank you for the invite to the project! I'll pop over there.

Best wishes, Rusty Mac 00:07, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Old Cricketer
Hi Jguk. Could you have a look at Robert Bush and suggest how I might change my use of Template:Infobox Old Cricketer? Also you might take some of these issues as suggestions for how the template might be improved (I'm have no experience editing templates): Hesperian 00:37, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Bush played only for Gloucestershire, so using the English flag is arguably inappropriate, although it does serve the purpose of indicating in which domestic competition he played.
 * 2) Setting Bush's nationality to English results in "Gloucestershire" being wiki'd to point to English cricket team, which is certainly not right.  I've set his nationality to Gloucestershire so that "Gloucestershire" is wiki'd to point to Gloucestershire cricket team, but that seems like cheating to me.  And it would be better if it could point to Gloucestershire County Cricket Club anyhow.
 * 3) I wish there was some way to note that he was also a keeper.  Maybe this is not so important for Bush, but eventually we'll run across someone who was the outstanding keeper of his time, but did very little else.
 * 4) I have "balls bowled" listed as zero, and all other bowling related statistics are dashed out.  Is this okay?
 * 5) The dates for Bush's debut and last games are unknown.  Unknown is being automatically wiki'd by the template, which isn't ideal.

 * To answer you in turn:
 * 1. I think an England flag is appropriate as Bush was English. If we had the Gloucestershire logo/badge as an image on Wikipedia, that may be better here - but we don't, so the England flag will do fine.
 * 2. Gloucestershire was pointing to Gloucestershire cricket team. I have made that page a redirect to Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, but that page has yet to be written.
 * 3. I've added him to Category:English wicket-keepers. Though I note on CricketArchive.com that he was only an occasional wicket-keeper.
 * 4. Personally I prefer '0' and 'n/a' (as appropriate) throughout and have adjusted the infobox accordingly, though no doubt some prefer alternative styles.
 * 5. I've added the dates of Bush's debut and last games. I find that Cricket Archive is a better resource for statistics than Cricinfo. I found the info here jguk 11:01, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Honorifics and styles
You are mixing up honorifics and styles. Honorifics should be used (I wrote the original proposal on that). But His Holiness is not a honorifics, it is a style, ie, a manner of address. Styles are not used, and should not be used, in an encyclopaedia. Honorifics should. So we can say Sir Robert Peel but we should not say Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel. Sir is an honorific, ''Rt. Hon'' is a style. They are two different things. So articles should not begin with Her Majesty, His Royal Highness, His Holiness, His Excellency as they are styles. Styles are all too easily misunderstood by people who don't understand them as a POV statement and provoke edit wars, eg, some wikipedians are convinced that by saying His Holiness Pope John Paul II wikipedia is expressing a POV that the pope is holy, or that saying the Right Honourable Tony Blair we are expressig a POV that he is both right and honourable. IMHO it is a nonsensical argument but there have already been edit wars since a small minority of people began adding in styles in the opening sentence.

Explaining in the article what the style of an office holder is avoids that because it cannot be seen as POV, especially if it is explained. Such an explanation cannot be included in the opening line unless one says ''His Holiness (the manner by which he is officially addressed) Pope John Paul. . . " FearÉIREANN 18:39, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * You are mistaken. It is POV to take an excessively republican line. We should report what "is", not what some Wikipedians want to be. Also Manual of Style (biographies) is unambiguous as to what Wikipedia style is. That is, we should start articles with The Right Honourable. I, and from what I can tell the majority Wikipedians are convinced that to ignore these styles is insiduously POV. It is disappointing that there have been edit wars from people choosing to remove the information of how someone is styled from the beginning of articles. It is easier to start an article "The Right Honourable Anthony Blair", rather than "Anthony Blair.......Blair is, in some formal contexts, styled "The Right Honourable". Not only does it save 7 words, it also draws less attention to it. Kind regards, jguk 19:12, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

BCE/CE Opposition
I edited the Opposition section because the arguments were blatantly one-sided, had a strong Christian bias, and because some arguments were 'unencyclopedic' (i.e. claiming that changing from BC/AD to BCE/CE undermined Christ's role in Christian societies, that BC/AD didn't offend anyone, and that changing it was destroying our common language for the sake of political correctness). I felt that those "reasons" should've been in comparison to the other side's argument, and that some of them were pure opinion and had no place in an encyclopedia.

Cream Records

Cream Records was an American record label started in 1970, by former Liberty Records head Al Bennett. In 1977, he acquired Hi Records which became a division of Cream. After Bennett died, it was run by his daughter Adalah Bennett Shaw until she died in 2009. After the death of Mrs. Shaw, the label is now run by her daughter Sarena Shaw, and long time business partner Don Wilson. Wilson a long time friend of Alvin and Adalah has been involved with Cream/Hi Records since the death of Mr. Bennett. With Cream Records, Snail (band) had a Billboard charting song, "The Joker" which charted at #93 in 1978. Joyce Cobb recorded a Top 40 hit single in 1979 with her original tune "Dig The Gold". The next year she had another release which charted for 6 weeks with Billboard topping out at #90 for Cream Records in the R&B category: '"How Glad I Am".

Albatros Airways

Albatros Airways Sh.p.k was a low-cost airline based in Tirana in Albania. It flew to destinations in Italy using Fokker 100 aircraft. Its main base was Rinas Mother Teresa Airport (TIA), Tirana. On 1 September 2006 the airline was grounded, only with one phone call on 31 August 2006, by the Albanian aviation authorities because of unpaid airport and air traffic control fees.

History
The airline was established and started operations on 3 November 2004.

On September 1, 2006, the airline was grounded and according to local media it was advised to stop selling tickets. The grounding led to heavy political controversies in Albania. The opposition and the management accused the government of having interfered against Albatros Airways violating the free market economy. The office of the President of Albania was blamed of having favoured Albatros Airways.

Civil parishes in Cambridgeshire

A civil parish is a country subdivision, forming the lowest unit of local government in England. There are 264 civil parishes in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, most of the county being parished; Cambridge is completely unparished; Fenland, East Cambridgeshire, South Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire are entirely parished. At the 2001 census, there were 497,820 people living in the parishes, accounting for 70.2 per cent of the county's population.

History
Parishes arose from Church of England divisions, and were originally purely ecclesiastical divisions. Over time they acquired civil administration powers.

The Highways Act 1555 made parishes responsible for the upkeep of roads. Every adult inhabitant of the parish was obliged to work four days a year on the roads, providing their own tools, carts and horses; the work was overseen by an unpaid local appointee, the Surveyor of Highways.

The poor were looked after by the monasteries, until their dissolution. In 1572, magistrates were given power to 'survey the poor' and impose taxes for their relief. This system was made more formal by the Poor Law Act 1601, which made parishes responsible for administering the Poor Law; overseers were appointed to charge a rate to support the poor of the parish. The 19th century saw an increase in the responsibility of parishes, although the Poor Law powers were transferred to Poor Law Unions. The Public Health Act 1872 grouped parishes into Rural Sanitary Districts, based on the Poor Law Unions; these subsequently formed the basis for Rural Districts.

Parishes were run by vestries, meeting annually to appoint officials, and were generally identical to ecclesiastical parishes, although some townships in large parishes administered the Poor Law themselves; under the Divided Parishes and Poor Law Amendment Act 1882, all extra-parochial areas and townships that levied a separate rate became independent civil parishes.

Civil parishes in their modern sense date from the Local Government Act 1894, which abolished vestries; established elected parish councils in all rural parishes with more than 300 electors; grouped rural parishes into Rural Districts; and aligned parish boundaries with county and borough boundaries. Urban civil parishes continued to exist, and were generally coterminous with the Urban District, Municipal Borough or County Borough in which they were situated; many large towns contained a number of parishes, and these were usually merged into one. Parish councils were not formed in urban areas, and the only function of the parish was to elect guardians to Poor Law Unions; with the abolition of the Poor Law system in 1930 the parishes had only a nominal existence.

The Local Government Act 1972 retained civil parishes in rural areas, and many former Urban Districts and Municipal Boroughs that were being abolished, were replaced by new successor parishes; urban areas that were considered too large to be single parishes became unparished areas.

The current position
Recent governments have encouraged the formation of town and parish councils in unparished areas, and the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 gave local residents the right to demand the creation of a new civil parish.

A parish council can become a town council unilaterally, simply by resolution; and a civil parish can also gain city status, but only if that is granted by the Crown. The chairman of a town or city council is called a mayor. The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 introduced alternative names: a parish council can now choose to be called a community; village; or neighbourhood council.

Talk:Element Lad

Untitled
This article claims that Element Lad was "an originally supposed to be gay character," but there are no citations in the article at all. Is there a credible source to back this up? Breakaway 08:38, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't think he was ever supposed to be gay. He was attracted to Light Lass in an early story. --84.231.134.30 18:28, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I have absolutely no idea why this article is appearing twice! I don't dare delete one in case it deletes the other somehow. (I'm pretty untechnical so I'm nervous about doing that kind of thing!)

-luornuviolet

there is some inacuracies in the article such as the fact that Shvaughn Erin was pushed as a love intrest for element lad by paul levitz not jim shooter. more here http://www.gayleague.com/gay/characters/display.php?id=139

Element Lad and his sexuality
I have been bold and removed unsourced categories, removed an external link, and removed an uncited section. Unless the character states he is gay, I suggest it not be readded. Otherwise, it just seems like OR.--Rockfang (talk) 14:46, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Compounds
Shouldn't it be metioned that Element Lad has transformed the elements in compounds? -Golem866 (talk) 15:02, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Why is that distinction important? Nutiketaiel (talk) 15:30, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Five Years Later??
In this section the name "Shvaughn" appears for the first time, with the cryptic information that Shvaughn "had been born as a male named Sean".

Say what? Shvaughn who? Shouldn't the first mention of a character explain who the character is in relation to either the main character or the series title mentioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 00:05, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Scope of his powers
Prior to threeboot he did not have to touch something to transmute it. His power was often depicted as a kind of beam or ray that transmuted things at range... but other times he just caused stuff to change.

He once created a compound (at range) to defeat Mordru at the end of the Earthwar by transmuting free floating hydrogen atoms in space into soil to trigger Mordru's fear of being buried alive (though he needed a teleapathic link to Braniac 5 provided by Saturn Girl to get the correct formula (I'm going to assume there was a bit of space debris in the area from their battle as well, the ratio of hydrogen atoms in space would be quite low.

He also was able to transmute things to special elements like kryptonite (even gold kryptonite) to use vs kryptonians or inertron, one of the most indestructible elements in the DC universe.

It is implied that he could destroy a person by simply transmuting them to a gas or something but he would never do such a thing because of his ethical code against killing. In the L.E.G.I.O.N. comic a rogue Trommite without such ethics was able to coerce powerful heroes like Lady Quark with the threat of transmuting them to nothing. The Legion Lost version of the character is one without such restrictions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aapold (talk • contribs) 11:55, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Demon Music Group

Demon Music Group Limited (DMG; formerly Object Enterprises Limited from 19821991 and Music Collection International Limited from 19912000) is a record company owned by BBC Studios that is mainly concerned with back-catalogue rights and re-issuing recordings as compilations on physical media (CDs and vinyl) via supermarkets and specialist stores.

History
DMG started out as Demon Records, a British record label, founded in 1980 by former United Artists A&R executive Andrew Lauder and Jake Riviera. Riviera had previously started Stiff Records and, with Lauder, had also founded Radar Records in 1978 and F-Beat in 1979.

The label was originally planned to release one-off singles, with early releases from the Subterraneans (featuring NME journalist Nick Kent), the Spectres (formed by Glen Matlock), TV21, and Department S. Demon's first chart success came with Department S's "Is Vic There?" which reached No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart.

Further chart success followed with Bananarama's "Aie a Mwana". The label then changed direction towards launching long-term artists. Lauder left to join Island Records in 1981, and Demon started a subsidiary label, Edsel Records, the same year, for reissues of 1960s and 1970s albums. By 1982, Lauder had returned, and Demon had spawned further sub-labels, including Hi Records (the Memphis soul label) and Drop Out (psychedelic rock).

Demon was also the home of sub-label Zippo, which released albums by American artists such as Dream Syndicate, Green on Red, True West, Rain Parade, Russ Tolman, amongst others in the 1980s.

In 1998, Demon was acquired by Crimson Productions and the record label was merged with its Westside Records operation. In 2002, Westside issued a double CD compilation album of blues from Ace Records. The company is now known as the Demon Music Group and releases records by artists such as Jane McDonald and Marti Pellow. Demon is also the European licensee of the Hi Records catalog.

The firm is also known for releasing a large number of compilation albums, with multi-genre compilation brands including the Absolute Hits series of single-disc collections (through Crimson) and the budget-range 100 Hits series of five-disc box sets each themed to a particular genre or era of music. These have proved successful, with the 100 Hits series alone amassing sales of 1.5 million units in its first 18 months on sale. The firm also releases genre-based compilation sets through labels such as Harmless (funk) and Nascente (world music).

The artwork for the Nascente-released Beginner's Guide series (particularly Beginner's Guide to Africa) may have provided inspiration for similar artwork used by Blur on their 2009 EMI collection, Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur.

After licensing the recordings of Ant & Dec from Phoenix Music International for a series of greatest hits compilations, the Edsel label got a fluke number one when "Let's Get Ready to Rhumble" re-charted at the top in April 2013.

By the end 2020, Demon's Crimson Productions had charted numerous times over the previous two years with their Gold series of 3CD 'hits and mixes' albums (with Dr. Hook being new at number 54 on the albums chart of 3 December 2020). A small number of these chart-bound Gold compilations would be based upon catalogue already owned by DMG, though most utilised the masters owned by Sony Music, with collections by Bros, M People and the Bangles being released. In addition to these compilations, Crimson Productions had also signed modern acts like Le Flex and country-pop trio the Adelaides.

MP3 mastering of CDs
During 2013, Demon's subsidiary company Edsel released the entire Island Records back catalogue of Robert Palmer. There was initial concern on forums such as the Steve Hoffman boards that the mp3 files had been used as the masters of all eight albums, as many had returned their CDs. Annoyed fans scanned the files with professional audio analyzing software such as Adobe Audition and Audacity, to find that all the frequencies of the recordings were cut off at 16 kHz. The blog Superdeluxeedition had put these claims to the manager of Edsel Records, Val Jennings, who vehemently refuted the claims. Superdeluxeedition asked producer Nick Watson (who had worked for The Kinks, Faith No More, and the Libertines) for an expert opinion. Watson found the CDs spectrograms and audio were consistent with being mastered from mp3 files. The audio cuts off at 16 kHz and there are stereo artifacts. The manager of Edsel did not respond.

Huntington Place

Huntington Place (formerly known as Cobo Hall, Cobo Center, and briefly TCF Center) is a convention center in Downtown Detroit, owned by the Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority (DRCFA) and operated by ASM Global. Located at 1 Washington Boulevard, the facility was originally named after former Mayor of Detroit Albert Cobo.

The largest annual event held at Huntington Place is the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), which has been held at the center since 1965.

Facilities
Huntington Place is 2400000 sqft in size and has 723,000 sqft of exhibition space, with 623000 sqft contiguous. It previously featured an arena, Cobo Arena, which hosted various concerts, sporting events, and other events. In 2015, the facility completed a renovation that repurposed the Cobo Arena space, adding additional meeting halls, a glass atrium with a view of the Detroit riverfront, and the 40,000 sqft Grand Riverview Ballroom.

It is served by the Detroit People Mover with its own station. Huntington Place has several large, attached parking garages, as well as parking on the roof of the facility, and direct access to the Lodge Freeway. The facility is located along the Detroit International Riverfront, and within walking distance of several downtown hotels.

History
The facility and its attached arena initially cost $56 million. It was designed by the Detroit architectural firm Giffels & Rossetti and took four years to complete. Louis Rossetti was the chief architect. The facility is on the site where Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, a French colonist, first set foot and landed on the banks of the river in July 1701 and claimed the area for France in the name of King Louis XIV. The first convention at the facility was held in 1960 by the Florists' Telegraph Delivery (FTD). The first event was the 43rd Auto Industry Dinner on October 17, 1960, at which President Dwight D. Eisenhower was the keynote speaker. In 1989, a renovation was completed to expand its size to 2,400,000 sqft.

Joe Louis Arena, named after boxer and former heavyweight champion Joe Louis, was built adjacent to the facility. It served as the home of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League from 1979 until its closure in 2017 when they moved to Little Caesars Arena. Demolition of the arena began in 2019.

In 2009, Mayor Kenneth Cockrel Jr. vetoed the Detroit City Council's resolution against the expansion of the facility. Shortly after, the facility came under ownership and operation, through a 30-year capital lease, of the Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority (DRCFA). The five-member Authority Board consists of one representative from each of five government agencies – the City of Detroit, State of Michigan and the three Metro Detroit counties of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb. Consensus agreement from the authority is needed for all decisions, and it has become a model for regional cooperation in Southeast Michigan.

In October 2010, the DRCFA awarded a management contract to SMG, which merged with AEG Facilities to form ASM Global in 2019. It extended the contract for three years in September 2013 and again in June 2017. In 2015, a five-year, $279 million renovation was completed, including a new atrium, ballroom, and meeting spaces, constructed mainly within the former Cobo Arena building.

In 2017, in the wake of the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Detroit riot, current mayor Mike Duggan proposed that Cobo Center be renamed due to modern reappraisals of Cobo's tenure as mayor. Cobo had upheld exclusionary covenants against African Americans, and was accused of responding poorly to allegations of harassment and police brutality against African American residents. In 2018, the DRCFA stated that it had already been considering the sale of naming rights to the facility, for the first time in its history.

In June 2018, the DRCFA approved a 22-year naming rights agreement with Chemical Bank, which took effect on July 1, 2018; the following month, Chemical announced that it would relocate its headquarters to downtown Detroit. The deal would not be publicly announced until February 20, 2019; the parties agreed to delay the official announcement until Chemical finalized and announced its agreement to merge with the Minnesota-based TCF Financial Corporation. A new name for Cobo Center was not formally announced at this time, as the bank wanted to wait until after the completion of the merger. In the meantime, Chemical Bank logos would appear on advertising and signage at the facility, and a ceremonial bust of Albert Cobo was removed from public display. The Chemical–TCF merger was completed on August 1, 2019, and the combined company took on the TCF name. Cobo Center was officially renamed TCF Center on August 27, 2019.

On December 13, 2020, TCF announced another merger with Columbus, Ohio-based Huntington Bancshares. The merged company would operate under the Huntington name, and it was expected that TCF Center would be renamed by mid-2022. The merger was completed in June 2021, and on December 9, 2021, it was announced that TCF Center had been renamed Huntington Place.

Notable events
In 1961, the show car event Detroit Autorama moved to the facility, and has been held there ever since.

Since 1965, the largest event held at Huntington Place is the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). This event draws thousands of international press and suppliers during its initial five days and has a charity preview party for 11,000 guests before the public opening. Since 1976, the Charity Preview has raised an average of $2.4 million yearly for southeastern Michigan children's charities. After the Charity Preview party, the NAIAS is open to the public for ten days, drawing, on average, 735,000 attendees. The show was originally held in January, but was to move to June beginning in 2020. On March 29, 2020, it was announced that the 2020 NAIAS had been cancelled due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 NAIAS was also cancelled and replaced by a downsized outdoor event in Pontiac, Michigan.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Emanuel Augustus, then known as Emanuel Burton, via a ninth-round TKO on October 21, 2000. The fight took place at Cobo Hall rather than Cobo Arena.

The anime convention Youmacon has been held annually at Huntington Place and the Renaissance Center since 2012.

Cobo Arena
Cobo Arena was an arena built in 1960 with seating for 12,000 that served as the home court of the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association from 1961 to 1978 and the host of the NCAA Division I Men's Indoor Track and Field Championships from 1965 to 1981. The short-lived Michigan Stags of the World Hockey Association and the Detroit Loves of World TeamTennis called Cobo Arena home in 1974, as did the Detroit Rockers of the National Professional Soccer League, the Detroit Mercy Titans basketball team of the NCAA, and the Motor City Mustangs of Roller Hockey International.

Cobo also hosted rock concerts, by such artists as Van Halen, The Doors, J. Geils Band, Jefferson Starship, Queen, Black Sabbath, Journey, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Iron Maiden (twice in 1982), David Bowie, Ted Nugent, Prince, The Tragically Hip, The Who, Judy Garland, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen, Parliament-Funkadelic, Duran Duran, the Cure, Phish, Madonna, Anthrax, Exodus and Helloween. Bob Seger recorded all of Live Bullet and part of Nine Tonight at Cobo Arena. Yes recorded two songs at Cobo Arena for their Yesshows album, released in 1980. Kiss recorded most of live album Alive! and video Animalize Live Uncensored at the arena and it is featured in their video for "Modern Day Delilah".

On August 4 and 5, 1980, Journey recorded most of their live album Captured at Cobo Arena.

As the venue for Big Time Wrestling on every other Saturday night in the 1960s and 1970s, it was considered to be "The House the Sheik built." It also hosted Skate America in 1995.

WWE and WCW also hosted numerous house shows and tapings in the arena during the 1990s, but WWE would return in 2006 for the premiere of the 2006 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event.

On June 23, 1963, following the Detroit Walk to Freedom civil rights march, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the original version of his "I Have a Dream" speech at Cobo Arena to a full house.

In January 1994, during the U.S. Figure Skating Championships at Joe Louis Arena, skater Nancy Kerrigan was bludgeoned in her right lower thigh by an assailant in a corridor of Cobo Arena, which was being used as a practice facility. The assault, which was dubbed "the whack heard 'round the world", was planned by rival Tonya Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and co-conspirator Shawn Eckardt, in a plot to prevent Kerrigan from competing at the championships and the 1994 Winter Olympics.

Cobo Arena closed in 2010 as part of a major renovation completed in 2015. The space was used to construct new facilities, including the 40000 sqfoot Grand Riverview Ballroom, a new atrium area, 21 additional meeting rooms, and an outdoor terrace.

Trio elétrico

Trio elétrico (, electric trio) is a kind of truck or float equipped with a high-power sound system and a stage for music performance on the top, playing for the crowd as it drives through the cities. It was created in Bahia specifically for Carnival and it is now used in similar events in other districts and countries. This setup is used in Brazilian Carnival inside the blocos carnavalescos and other festivals in Brazil, specially in micaretas. The idea was introduced in 1949 during a carnival in Bahia by the duo Dodô e Osmar (Adolfo Nascimento and Osmar Macedo).

Some Brazilian artists have been known to sing on a Trio, such as Elba Ramalho, Daniela Mercury, Ivete Sangalo, Saulo Fernandes, Cláudia Leitte, Carlinhos Brown (from Timbalada), Asa de Águia and Chiclete com Banana.

History
The trio elétrico arises from the "dupla eletrica" ("Electric Duo"), composed of the two friends Adolfo Antônio Nascimento (Dodô) and Osmar Álvares de Macêdo. In 1950, the two used a Ford Model T to perform their self-made electric instrument, known as pau eletrico (electric log), during Bahia carnival. They drove through the streets playing music powered by the car battery. The show took place in the city centre on carnival Sunday and attracted a large crowd.

The name "trio elétrico" was coined in 1951 when Dodô and Osmar invited a friend to perform with them, the architect Temístocles Aragão, turning their dupla into a trio. They played through Salvador in a Chrysler pick-up. Though the name originally referred to the band, it became better known for their invention of a motorized band stage.

Another invention from Bahia, the "micaretas" (an out-of-season Carnival) began using the trios or floats. Today, there is a huge industry for the production, maintenance and leasing of trios. Many new artists are discovered on trios.

In 1983, a trio built in Italy was inaugurated in Piazza Navona in the presence of 80 thousand people who danced to the electric sound of Dodô, Osmar and Armandinho. That was the first time a trio was featured out of Brazil.

In 1985, invited by students of the University of Toulouse, in France, Armandinho, Dodô and Osmar traveled once more to Europe to take some of Carnival to more than 100 thousand people in Toulouse.

The trio is known worldwide as one of the symbols of Brazilian culture, its music and its Carnival.

Jebel Barkal

Jebel Barkal or Gebel Barkal (جبل بركل) is a mesa or large rock outcrop located 400 km north of Khartoum, next to Karima in Northern State in Sudan, on the Nile River, in the region that is sometimes called Nubia. The jebel is 104 m tall, has a flat top, and came to have religious significance for both ancient Kush and ancient Egyptian occupiers. In 2003, the mountain, together with the extensive archaeological site at its base (ancient Napata), were named as the center of a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Jebel Barkal area houses the Jebel Barkal Museum.

History
The earliest occupation of Jebel Barkal was that of the Kerma culture, which was also known as Kush, but this occupation is so far known only from scattered potsherds.

Around 1450 BCE, the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III conquered Barkal and built a fortified settlement (Egyptian menenu) there as the southern limit of the Egyptian empire. The city and region around it came to be called Napata, and the Egyptian occupation of Jebel Barkal extended through most of the New Kingdom of Egypt. The Egyptians built a complex of temples at the site, centered on a temple to Amun of Napata—a local, ram-headed form of the main god of the Egyptian capital city of Thebes, Egypt. In the last years of the New Kingdom and after its collapse in 1169 BC, there was little construction at Jebel Barkal. Apart from the temples, no trace of this Egyptian settlement has yet been found at the site.

Jebel Barkal was the capital city of the Kingdom of Kush as it returned to power in the years after 800 BCE as the Dynasty of Napata. The Kushite kings who conquered and ruled over Egypt as the 25th Dynasty, including Kashta, Piankhy (or Piye), and Taharqa, all built, renovated, and expanded monumental structures at the site.

After the Kushites were driven out by the Assyrian conquest of Egypt in the mid-7th century BC, they continued to rule Kush with Jebel Barkal and the city of Meroë as the most important urban centers of Kush. Jebel Barkal's palaces and temples continued to be renovated from the 7th-early 3rd centuries BC. Most of the royal pyramid burials of the kings and queens of Kush during this time were built at the site of Nuri, 9 km to the northeast of Jebel Barkal.

In 270 BCE, the location of Kushite royal burials was moved to Meroë, inaugurating the Meroitic period of the Kingdom of Kush. Jebel Barkal continued to be an important city of Kush during the Meroitic period. A sequence of palaces were built, most notably by King Natakamani, new temples were built and older temples were renovated. During the 1st century BC - 1st century AD, eight royal pyramid burials were built at Jebel Barkal (rather than at Meroë), for reasons that are not clear, but perhaps reflecting the prominence of one or more families from the city.

After the collapse of Kush during the 4th century AD, Jebel Barkal continued to be occupied in the medieval (Christian) period of Nubia, as attested by architectural remains, burials, and burial inscriptions.

Temples
The ruins around Jebel Barkal include at least 13 temples that were built, renovated, and expanded over a period of over 1,500 years. The temples were described for the first time by a series of European explorers beginning in the 1820s. Their drawings and descriptions, particularly those of Frédéric Cailliaud (1821), Louis Maurice Adolphe Linant de Bellefonds (1821), and Karl Richard Lepsius (1844), record significant architectural details that have since disappeared. In 1862 five inscriptions from the Third Intermediate Period were recovered by an Egyptian officer and transported to the Cairo Museum, but not until 1916 were scientific archeological excavations performed by a joint expedition of Harvard University and the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston under the direction of George Reisner. From the 1970s, explorations continued by a team from the University of Rome La Sapienza, under the direction of Sergio Donadoni, that was joined by another team from the Boston Museum, in the 1980s, under the direction of Timothy Kendall.

Temple of Amun and Temple of Mut
The larger temples, such as the Temple of Amun, are even today considered sacred to the local population. The carved wall painted chambers of the Temple of Mut are well preserved.

Temple B700 at Jebel Barkal
Temple B700, built by Atlanersa and decorated by Senkamanisken, is now largely destroyed. It received the sacred bark of Amun from the nearby B500 on certain cultic occasions, and may have served during the coronation of the kings of the early Napatan period, in the mid 7th century BC. The Temple was decorated by Senkamanisken, where he is shown clubbing enemies.

The hieroglyphic inscription on the Temple described the role of the god Amun in selecting Sekamanisken as king:

"I said of you [while you were still] in your mother's womb that you were to be ruler of Kemet ["Black Land", probably meaning Egypt and Kush]. I knew you in the semen, while you were in the egg, that you were to be lord. I made you receive the Great Crown, which Re caused to appear on the first good occasion. [Inasmuch as] a father makes his son excellent, it is I who decreed kingship to you. [So] who shall share it with you? For I am the Lord of Heaven. As I give to Re, [so] he gives to his children, from gods to men. It is I who gives you the royal charter.... No other [can] decree (who is to be) king. It is I who grants kingship to whomever I will."

History of Excavation of the Site
Napata’s urban remains have not yet been significantly excavated, but rubble heaps indicate that the area was probably home to major settlement in antiquity. There are no traces of a pre-Egyptian settlement, though this may change as more is uncovered at the site. The earliest buildings found at Napata date from the middle of the eighteenth Dynasty. The first archaeologist to work at the site was George A. Reisner who worked there from 1916-1920 and excavated a number of buildings. His first excavation at Napata was a large Meroitic structure (Named “B 100”) that dated to the first century CE. At first, Reisner assumed this to be an “administrative building”, though it is now known to have been a palace.

Shannonbridge

Shannonbridge is a village located on the River Shannon, at the junction of the R444 and R357 regional roads in County Offaly, Ireland. It lies within the townland of Raghra, at the borders of counties Offaly, Galway and Roscommon, with the majority of the population living east of the bridge in County Offaly. As of the 2016 census, the village had a population of 175. There are two housing estates within the village. Its location along Ireland's largest river and its proximity to Clonmacnoise have contributed to tourism being a key contributor to the local economy. The village is flanked by a Special Area of Conservation – the Shannon Callows. The physical environment consists of the River Shannon, callows, boglands and the Esker Riada (a major routeway in the 18th century). The village has one of the oldest bridges still in use over the River Shannon, completed in 1757.

The monastic settlement of Clonmacnoise is approximately 7 km upriver.

History
Shannonbridge gets its name from the bridge connecting County Offaly and County Roscommon. Rachra is generally considered the old name for Shannonbridge, but 'Shannonbridge' was adopted after the building of the bridge in 1757. The military may have initially constructed a village, the 'first Shannonbridge', in the vicinity of Temple Duff graveyard just south of the power station.

Shannonbridge was fortified by the British in the Napoleonic era. Some of the fortifications, including a fort that now houses a restaurant, are still visible today on the west bank of the river.

At Curleys Island between Shannonbridge and Clonmacnoise, there is a legendary ford of Snámh Dá Éan ("swim two birds"). It was here that a proselytising Saint Patrick ostensibly crossed the Shannon into Connacht, and much later the Anglo-Normans considered the ford important enough to be guarded by one of their campaign forts. Accordingly, they constructed the great Motte of Clonburren on the Roscommon side of the river, within sight of an even then declining early Christian nunnery.

In 2019, a group of Romanian nuns established an orthodox monastery, The Life-Giving Spring - Ard Ciaran, in Shannonbridge. The property Ard Ciaran was formerly a prayer and retreat centre run by the Ursuline order.

Economy
Historically, the main employers in Shannonbridge have included the Electricity Supply Board (whose West Offaly Power Station operated from 1965 to 2020) and Bord na Móna (harvesting peat used in the station). Tourism also supports employment in the area, and there is a farming community present. The nearby towns of Ballinasloe, County Galway and Athlone, County Westmeath serve as district centres for the village.

The Electricity Supply Board's peat-fired power station, the West Offaly Power Station, had a capacity of 135 megawatts and was located about 1 km downriver from Shannnonbridge. The peat was supplied from the Blackwater Bog peatlands, managed by Bord na Móna. The power station closed in 2020. The Clonmacnoise and West Offaly Railway (a narrow gauge railway) was principally used to transport the peat to the power station, and also provides passenger tours of the peat lands for visitors.

Shannonbridge Potteries is located just outside the village. Their factory shop is open to the public.

Local services include two shops, a post office, three pubs, a service restaurant, and a butcher.

Tourism
Tourists come to Shannonbridge by cruiser on the River Shannon, a short distance from the main street. A tourist office is located at the west end of the main street. The monastic settlement of Clonmacnoise is 7 km upriver and attracts approximately 100,000 visitors per annum.

Shannonbridge tennis court was built in 1988 with funds from the national lottery on land leased from the Electricity Supply Board. The court is located at the eastern end of the village adjacent to St. Kierans Park.

Shannonbridge is a destination for anglers, and the River Shannon has stocks of bream, rudd, rudd/bream hybrids, tench, perch, pike as well as stocks of trout, eel and salmon. Angling also takes place in the rivers Suck and Brosna and in the Grand Canal. Lough Ree is 30 km from the town.

The Clonmacnoise and West Offaly Railway Bog Tour is a 45-minute train journey giving a guided 9 km tour across a working environment, a cutaway area of preserved peatlands. About 32,000 visitors go on the tour per annum.

The Shannonbridge Pottery is nearby.

In August 2009, Ireland's first ever Climate Camp was held in the village, bringing activists from all over the country to a field next to the West Offaly Power Station. For a week they protested against the extraction and burning of peat in the station, on the grounds that it releases large quantities of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. They held workshops on the themes of sustainability and climate change.

Flora and fauna
The River Shannon, which flows through the area, provides a habitat for a number of species of local flora, include types of algae, reeds and grasses. Local fauna include brown hares, foxes, mink and frogs. There are butterflies, dragonflies, beetles and in the Shannon; mussels, snails and leeches. Bird varieties on the Shannon include swans (Bewick's, mute and whooper), moorhens, swallows, terns, ducks and corncrakes.

Climatologists, archaeologists and biologists value the area's peatlands and the peat archives in the bogs for research purposes.

The Callows is a stretch of the River Shannon at Shannonbridge that has a shallow gradient which results in seasonal flooding when heavy rain occurs. This has resulted in the formation of callows areas (wet grassland areas) which are rich in flora and fauna and a conservation area which is designated as an (NHA) Natural Heritage Area, (SAC) Special Area of Conservation and (SPA) Special Protection Area. The corn crake, which is rare and is protected nationally, is seen in the Callows area. Ducks, gulls, swans, and breeding waders including the northern lapwing, common redshank, Eurasian curlew and common sandpiper are also recorded within the area.

Sport
Shannonbridge Gaelic Athletic Association club have one Offaly senior football championship title to their name, which they achieved in 1996 by defeating Tullamore. They also won the county intermediate championship in 2019, and progressed onto the Leinster semi-final where they were defeated by Rathgarogue-Cushinstown. Several players from the club have won medals with county teams. For example, John Ryan won an All-Ireland senior hurling medal and a national football league medal in 1998. Players from the club have won three All-Ireland under 21 football medals, Leinster football and hurling medals and Leinster vocational titles and colleges titles. Two players from the club, Vincent Mooney in 1991 and Anthony Kelly in 1996 were chosen as Offaly 'footballer of the year'.

Civil parishes in Cheshire

A civil parish is a country subdivision, forming the lowest unit of local government in England. There are 333 civil parishes in the ceremonial county of Cheshire, most of the county being parished. Cheshire East unitary authority is entirely parished. At the 2001 census, there were 565,259 people living in 332 parishes, accounting for 57.5 per cent of the county's population.

History
Parishes arose from Church of England divisions, and were originally purely ecclesiastical divisions. Over time they acquired civil administration powers.

The Highways Act 1555 made parishes responsible for the upkeep of roads. Every adult inhabitant of the parish was obliged to work four days a year on the roads, providing their own tools, carts and horses; the work was overseen by an unpaid local appointee, the Surveyor of Highways.

The poor were looked after by the monasteries, until their dissolution. In 1572, magistrates were given power to 'survey the poor' and impose taxes for their relief. This system was made more formal by the Poor Law Act 1601, which made parishes responsible for administering the Poor Law; overseers were appointed to charge a rate to support the poor of the parish. The 19th century saw an increase in the responsibility of parishes, although the Poor Law powers were transferred to Poor Law Unions. The Public Health Act 1872 grouped parishes into Rural Sanitary Districts, based on the Poor Law Unions; these subsequently formed the basis for Rural Districts.

Parishes were run by vestries, meeting annually to appoint officials, and were generally identical to ecclesiastical parishes, although some townships in large parishes administered the Poor Law themselves; under the Divided Parishes and Poor Law Amendment Act 1882, all extra-parochial areas and townships that levied a separate rate became independent civil parishes.

Civil parishes in their modern sense date from the Local Government Act 1894, which abolished vestries; established elected parish councils in all rural parishes with more than 300 electors; grouped rural parishes into Rural Districts; and aligned parish boundaries with county and borough boundaries. Urban civil parishes continued to exist, and were generally coterminous with the Urban District, Municipal Borough or County Borough in which they were situated; many large towns contained a number of parishes, and these were usually merged into one. Parish councils were not formed in urban areas, and the only function of the parish was to elect guardians to Poor Law Unions; with the abolition of the Poor Law system in 1930 the parishes had only a nominal existence.

The Local Government Act 1972 retained civil parishes in rural areas, and many former Urban Districts and Municipal Boroughs that were being abolished, were replaced by new successor parishes; urban areas that were considered too large to be single parishes became unparished areas.

The current position
Recent governments have encouraged the formation of town and parish councils in unparished areas, and the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 gave local residents the right to demand the creation of a new civil parish.

A parish council can become a town council unilaterally, simply by resolution; and a civil parish can also gain city status, but only if that is granted by the Crown. The chairman of a town or city council is called a mayor. The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 introduced alternative names: a parish council can now choose to be called a community; village; or neighbourhood council.

Cheshire West and Chester
The former Chester County Borough and parts of the former Ellesmere Port Municipal Borough and Neston Urban District are unparished.

George Michael
I've undone you move of the George Michael article. While you did it all the correct way for topics where the two meanings are of equal popularity I think you'll agree that the musician is by far more famous than the DJ. A good way of finding this out is by looking at the "What links here" for the article in the toobox - this shows that all the incoming links are about the musician.

When you change the name of airline articles
There is other work that needs to be done.

 * Were there any notable people on board? If so go to the person's article and change the name of the flight.
 * If an airport was involved in the crash, go to the airport article and change the name of the flight.
 * Ditto for the type of aircraft. Most aircraft articles have a incidents and accidents section. So change the name of the flight there.
 * Ditto for the airline involved.
 * There is also the List of accidents and incidents involving commercial aircraft. Most accidents are on that list. If they aren't, please feel free to enter them.

All WP articles can be improved and I appreciate the work you're doing. It can just be better. Cheers....William 13:56, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

This is your only warning. Your repeated unsourced changes, as you did at Airbus A330, are considered vandalism. You may be blocked from editing without further notice. -Fnlayson (talk) 23:39, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at McDonnell Douglas MD-12, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - BilCat (talk) 17:54, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Hannibal Records

Hannibal Records was a British record label and one of the first to work with the World music genre.

Hannibal was started by Joe Boyd in 1980. Boyd had produced records by artists such as Nick Drake, The Incredible String Band and Fairport Convention and released recordings by these artists as well as others such as Trio Bulgarka on his new label.

Around this time folk music from around the world was being released by different labels but was so varied it did not fit into a particular genre. Boyd and a collection of other music industry leaders decided to coin the term world music in order to give this music a name for marketing purposes. Hannibal began releasing records under the world music banner.

In the early 1990s, Hannibal was purchased by independent label Rykodisc. Joe Boyd continued managing the label until the late 1990s when Rykodisc was purchased by Palm Pictures. After Boyd's departure from Hannibal the label lay dormant.

In 1998, Andy Childs took over the running of Hannibal. A new line-up of artists was introduced including Robert Wyatt, Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno, and the label began to reissue recordings from the All Saints label. As well as these established artists, Hannibal began to sign new artists such as folk rock band The Eighteenth Day of May.

In 2006, Rykodisc was bought by the Warner Music Group. In December that year, Warner decided to close down Hannibal.
