Talk:List of women's national association football teams

North Korea
I've seen a link to North Korea women's national football team, as well as Korea DPR women's national football team. We need to choose one. --StuartBrady (Talk) 01:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Oops... For the men's game, we use Korea DPR national football team, so I'm going with that. --StuartBrady (Talk) 01:22, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

TODO List
This needs to be made to look more like the list of men's national football teams. I've added loads of links — most of them red, but I don't think that's a problem — those articles just need to be written. Perhaps one of the first things that needs doing is grouping teams based on FIFA confederations. --StuartBrady (Talk) 01:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Teams
Hmm. I see that Egypt, Lebanon and Libya do have women's national teams... but did/does the same apply to Iraq, Iran and Syria? (Well, presumably not all countries have a women's national team, yet.) --StuartBrady (Talk) 16:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, these countries do have women's teams and I see that Iran has already been added. On another note, Bahrain has a national team, and an article about the team has been written but I do not know how to include it here. (The hk 10:28, 20 June 2007 (UTC))

 * This is a very important third party in America. And yet, there is this insufficient article on it, mainly naming former candidates and state affiliate names. We can do better than this.
 * Ewww... We have better things to spend our time on than bible-thumping fascists --Dmcdevit 22:56, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know that they're "very important". They don't have the history of the Socialist Party or Communist Party nor do they have the votes of the Green Party or even the Libertarians. AndyL 06:06, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * "Even the Libertarians"—the third party with more elected officials than all the other ancillary parties combined. The Constitutionalists, ill-fated that their ambitions may have been, were rather the opposite of "Bible-thumping fascists," and deserve at least some consideration.  Support.  ADH (t&m) 06:23, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, I might have underestimated the size of the Libertarians (though the other parties I mentioned have all done better on the presidential level) but I still don't see how the Constitutional Party is a "very important third party". AndyL 13:31, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * ADH, I wonder if your're not confusing this quite small, and quite conservative, modern political party with some other historical movement. I encourage you to read the article.  As to myself, I find this topic interesting in a way as an apparently growing, but still very fringe, political movement, but I don't think it's really of enough general significance to be a COTW.--Pharos 21:00, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops! I didn't mean to start this debate.  I was only joking when I made my ealier comment.  I very much support third party and independent candidates and their fight for ballot access.  I really do think this article deserves an expansion, to at least the level of the Reform Party, Libertarian Party, or Green Party.  I just happen to have a very different ideological position, and have no where near the expertise to contribute.  But I would still encourage others to vote for it! --Dmcdevit 22:26, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I was actually looking for articles about Wanted posters from that era and the term Weird West. Not only I found none of those (btw, I'd appreciate at least a stubs on them, tnx), but I am shocked that the 'Wild West' article is in fact just a redirect to a tiny American Old West article. Such an interesting period in history (and fiction), and one that I'd expect to find well developed on Wiki... and all we have is one screen-worth of material, barely escaping the stub tag! Many related articles are poor as well, only Western movie seems to be decent. This period needs a lot of help.
 * Here there are a few genuine ones. (They are PD, so we can 'borrow' them in Wikipedia). Bogdan | Talk 18:10, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose. There would be considerable overlap between any such article and the existing one, which certainly could use expansion. Why don't we put our efforts there? In particular there a section Culture of the American Old West which could specifically deal with the "wild" aspects. In any case, the wildness was largely a myth and the name comes from Buffalo Bill's traveling stage show (in America, all devolves to showbiz!); it seems to me that an article focusing on the wildness might overdose on myth. --Dhartung | Talk 07:56, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Fourth Generation War (6 votes in 2 weeks)

 * Nominated January 10, 2005; needs 10 votes by January 24, 2005

Support: Comments: "Fourth Generation War is a concept defined by William S. Lind, used to describe the decentralized nature of modern warfare. The simplest definition includes any war in which one of the major participants in not a state. Fourth Generation wars are characterized by a blurring of the lines between soldier and civilian, peace and conflict, battlefield and safety. While this term is similar to terrorism and asymmetric war, it is generally broader, and indeed includes both of these concepts. In some sense, gang violence is Fourth Generation war."

 * It appears that the article as it is says it all... Am I wrong? KNewman 22:51, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point. When I originally nominated the article I felt it could be expanded and I still beleive it can be, in the regards of guerilla warfare and terrorism, but it probably does not merit enough work to be a COTW candidate. So feel free to work on it but since I nominated it and am the only person to vote for it, I would like to revoke/remove this nomination(if such a thing is possible). So whoever takes it upon themselves to moderate this page, feel free to remove this nomination. -CunningLinguist 09:42, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I think the article oversimplifies Lind's work and the place it has in conceptual military history. As it is, there are gross errors, some of which I'll try to correct immediately. But the concept is more than a glib catchphrase, and much of the collegiate-level military thinking, not only in the superpowers but elsewhere, has expanded on this work. --Dhartung | Talk 08:08, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

ROF Glascoed

ROF Glascoed (today BAE Systems Munitions Glascoed) was built as a UK government-owned, Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF). It was designed as one of 20 munitions filling factories. It was planned as a permanent ROF with the intention that, unlike some other similar facilities, it would remain open for production after the end of World War II. After privatisation of the Royal Ordnance Factories in the 1980s it became part of Royal Ordnance plc and later a production unit of BAE Systems.

It was served by the Great Western Railway's Coleford, Monmouth, Usk and Pontypool Railway from its opening in April 1940 until 1993.

Early history
In the late 1930s leading up to the outbreak of war in 1939, the British government developed a strategy to disperse armaments and munitions production away from major cities and the southeast part of England which were felt to be especially vulnerable to bombing from the air. As a result the Ministry of Supply built a number of Royal Ordnance Factories and satellite factories.

A munitions-filling factory was sited at Glascoed in a valley between Pontypool and Usk in Monmouthshire. The site was chosen for its seclusion and sheltered topography surrounded by hills and its damp micro-climate was suited for the handling of explosives. Mostly agricultural land was acquired by compulsory purchase. In addition, the large workforce needed would benefit a region of the UK hit by particularly heavy unemployment in the 1930s Great Depression.

Officially known as 'ROF 54', the new factory was designed at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich (Woolwich Arsenal), based on its long experience in munitions production. Safety considerations were paramount. The design, style and spacing of individual production buildings meant that they were separated by wide open spaces as well as approx 20 feet (6 m) high grassed embankments and extremely thick reinforced concrete walls and overbridges, called traverses. The purpose of these earthworks was to deflect any explosion skyward rather than outward to any adjacent buildings or structures.

The site was built with extensive underground magazines, comprehensive lightning protection and individual buildings linked by paths, roads and railways.

Building work on the 1,000 acre (4 km2) site started in February 1938, with the Ministry of Works acting as agents; and was undertaken by a construction company from Cardiff. The factory was officially opened in April 1940 and full production was achieved in 1941–1942.

World War II and Korean War activity
At its peak, ROF Glascoed boasted nearly 700 separate buildings, each designated for a particular process and used as required. It still has in excess of 10 miles (16 km) of roads, an 8-mile (13-kilometre) perimeter fence and, until more recent years, its own 17 mile (27 km) standard gauge railway system. This included a dedicated passenger station and freight marshalling yards. It was linked to the Great Western Railway (GWR) branch line that ran between Pontypool Road and Monmouth. This rail link enabled the three-times daily movement of up to 13,000 workers in and out of the site as well as the receipt of raw materials and components and the despatch of finished munitions. A small housing estate was built close by to accommodate managers and staff who had to respond quickly in emergencies.

Initially it was intended that ROF Glascoed would produce sea-mines for the Royal Navy. However as well as these, heavy bombs and pyrotechnics (such as target indicators and skymarkers) were supplied to the RAF. Among the weapons filled by ROF Glascoed were 8,000lb High Capacity bombs ('cookies') for RAF Bomber Command and the Barnes Wallis-designed 'Highball' bouncing bomb, a smaller version of the better-known 'Upkeep' weapons used used by RAF 617 squadron to attack the Rhur Valley reservoirs in May 1943.

Contemporary ARP planning was largely based on Stanley Baldwin's assertion that "the bomber will always get through". So, near Glascoed, the local Folly Tower on a hill top at nearby Pontypool was seen as an aiming-off point for the Luftwaffe to attack the ROF factory. The Tower was demolished at the start of the war and not rebuilt until 1994 and has since become a minor tourist attraction. As it was, ROF Glascoed was bombed only twice during the war. On 31 October 1940, a worker was killed and several injured by a lone Heinkel He111P bomber which dropped 12 bombs in daylight but only caused minor damage to the factory. Post-war debriefing records show that the bomber's crew were convinced they had bombed Filton aerodrome in Bristol, some forty miles (65 km) away.

After the war, ROF Glascoed expanded its services to include manufacturing concrete building products and by scrapping surplus munitions. The growing hostility of the Cold War as evidenced by the Korean War also saw a much wider range of munitions filled, assembled and packed at ROF Glascoed. These included munitions for field guns and howitzers, tanks and other fighting vehicles, mortar and aerial bombs, warheads for missiles and torpedoes, flares, pyrotechnics and smoke bombs.

Post-war survival
The Royal Ordnance Factories were part of a government department until they were privatised in 1987. Today Glascoed is operated by BAE Systems Global Combat Systems Munitions. With the closure of other ROFs, Glascoed remains the only ammunition filling facility in the UK and exports its products, as well as supplying the British Ministry of Defence (MoD). Glascoed now employs about 400 people and has invested heavily in R&D and improved production facilities.

In recent years, Glascoed has developed an expertise with Insensitive Munitions in artillery shells and other warheads. These employ PBX compositions such as Rowanex 3601 (booster) and Rowanex 1100 (main charge) designed to minimise the risk of accidents e.g. inadvertent detonation by dropping, heat, friction or impact. One such accident occurred on the USS Forrestal in 1967.

Until the mid-1990s, in the interests of security, British Ordnance Survey maps omitted the details of all operational ROF sites; the maps showed the sites as they existed before the ROFs' construction, although it was sometimes possible to identify the site boundaries. More recent editions show the detail of the buildings, internal roads, and rail links, labelled simply as "Depot" or "Works".

On the 20 August 2008 the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom) announced a 15 year £2bn contract with BAE Systems to supply British forces with medium calibre and small arms ammunition.

On 17 April 2024 emergency services were called to the site after an explosion. BAE Systems said that safety protocols were "immediately enacted" and emergency services attended the site. A spokeswoman said no one had been injured, there was no risk to local residents and production was unaffected. The exact cause of the incident was still under investigation.

Talk:Geschichtsaufarbeitung

I'm not very content and I can't really say why. I would like to delete or change that part glasnost and perestroika because I don't think you can it compare - I think the processus of Geschichtsaufarbeitung was a result of Gorbachevs reforms. And I want to ask a question to native English-Speakers: "social policy used in post-unification Germany" means it that it is an offical policy of the government? - Is it the case I'm not sure if thats realy true. I think it was (with other results) a continueing problem in german history since World War II in both German States.

Proposal to merge
The reference to "Vergangenheitsbewältigung" as "Germany's other idea" is inexplicable. Surely these are synonymous. And Vergangenheitsbewältigung is the more common word nowadays. I would propose merging this article into Vergangenheitsbewältigung. --Doric Loon 20:27, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

CBS2 HDTV Branding
It seems like WCBS is now using "CBS2 HDTV" branding today! (April 11th). Take a look at their website. Somebody want to integrate that into the main Wiki?

I do. I just don't know how to integrate images into the Wiki. I've got a 128x90 image of the CBS 2 HDTV logo on their website, the one someone else put up seems WAAAY too low-res for Wikipedia.--StephenK 23:06, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

HAHA... I'm Sorry about that.. i just cant get a better resolution one. Is there a way i could get the image in higher resolution... write back to me on this page...Soccerfan50392 7:12 EDT

Well, I used a screen capture (alt+print screen in Windows) at 1280x1024. Set your monitor to output the highest it can go. --Stephen K (Not signed in)

Neutrality
This article doesn't seem to be neutral enough. Citing the POV page: While each fact mentioned in the article might be presented fairly, the very selection (and omission) of facts can make an article biased. This is especially true with this page. The selection of facts here, while seemingly written in NPOV, does create the appearance of bias, because many of the selections point to negative things that the station and namely the news director have done. While the station has made some very big errors, it seems to criticize them on every single thing - especially the statement about the station opening with the Burt Reynolds piece, which probably should not be there.

Another big example is the picture of Bolaris (making an admittedly obnoxious face during his extended TRENNNNNND). Not only does the picture portray him as a moron, but the text also includes damning evidence: "The quality of newscasts on WCBS is reflected in the professionalism of their on air talent. Here we see weatherman, John Bolaris." It helps create this bias and it would be best to remove this picture and caption entirely.--HulkieD 30 June 2005 18:58 (UTC)

To say that WCBS has significant problems isn't biased; it's the truth. Anyone watching it during the past ten years can tell that the revolving door has been swinging mercilessly, the graphics have been modified and modified again, and glitzy bits have been brought back, killed, recycled and killed again. All the while, what they are supposed to be producing - NEWS! - remains as pitiful as ever. Of course, the problem isn't limited to WCBS.

 * The problem is not with the article, it is with WCBS as they have been making all the wrong moves to get out of third place or below. As for Mr. Bolaris, if he acts like an unprofessional moron on air, it should be noted. -- Spotteddogsdotorg 22:37, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but Wikipedia is not the place to write anti-station pages. Sure, the station isn't the best in the world, and sure, they've had their share of problems over the years, but this isn't the place to just let it all out. ErikNY 15:16, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

While HulkieD does have somewhat of a point, if WCBS has made mistakes it should be noted here. It happened, it is true, so it belongs on Wikipedia, because this is an encyclopedia. That's what I think, at least. Aido2002

 * Whether or not hiring or firing anchor X or leading with X story is a mistake is pretty subjective. If people have spoken out against WCBS, it should be noted instead of saying "industry insiders say" and then giving various opinions on the show. Also, I don't think Wikipedia users care that WCBS once ran a Burt Reynolds story before a story about a congressional vote. I think that paragraph sould be removed.

Captions
The information from the Jim Rosenfield and Arnold Diaz captions should be moved to the body of the text and cited. The purpose of a caption should be to explain what the picture is, not give commentary (e.g., "WCBS has been known to grab talent from other stations.")

Logos
The Logo section is inaccurate on a few things if not all of it. The 2 font is not Arial between 1975-1997. It's Futura. The CBS font for CBS is not Times New Roman, and I don't know what that font is off the top of my head, but I know it was posted within a year ago on tvnewstalk.net.

The "1986" font (Futura) was the same since the 70s (1973) (if not the 60s, not sure) through 1997. The font from 1997 to present is another font which my memory isn't serving me right now.

Also: I thought the PNP era started in 1985, therefore that "standardize 2" would have begun in 1985, I would guess, can someone also double check the source?

If someone clearly knows the fonts mentioned (ether an New York TV insider or someone that knows this stuff completely) please correct it and reply back to the discussion and explain the difference betweeen the fonts mentioned and the one corrected. If the person who added the font in the article, please go to the website I mentioned above and ether if you are already registered or register and post a question about the fonts on the New York News discussion because my mind is foggy and I cannot help you. If you look at the difference between the fonts cited in the article and the ones that might be mentioned, you will know what I am talking about.

Have a good day. Edited Steven312 20:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Also,IIRC,the logo was a circle 2 during 1995 and 1996...Ranma9617 04:31, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, from 1973 to 1986, the "2" with a small eye on the left side directly below the hook of the "2" (and not just on the news), was a font called Serif Gothic Bold. From 1963 to c.1972 there was a sans-serif "2" to the right of the CBS logo (and in the same size) as shown on screen, used not only by WCBS-TV but (I've been apprised) by KNXT (now KCBS-TV) in Los Angeles, that was set in Grotesque No. 9.  During the mid-to-late 1950's there was another on-air "2" logo with the eye hanging not unlike the 1996-97 variation; though not the same, the "2" looked similar to Highway Gothic C.  The 1986-1997 variation appears to be custom made. Wbwn 19:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Recent Changes...
...made by Sidestreetchat, which introduced a number of new screenshots of WCBS-TV anchors to the article, resulted in a badly-formatted outline and, plainly, a big mess.

Though I revamped the entry, returning to a previous look and placing the news shots in a gallery titles "Personality Gallery", this revision should be only a temporary one. I do question whether so many pictures even belong in this article to begin with, and I've already removed two. Perhaps a new page called "WCBS-TV Personalities", similar to WTXF-TV Personalities can be created and all of these new pictures can be moved there, so as long as the text doesn't read as if it were ripped directly from the WCBS-TV Website (the WTXF page reads as if it was). Comments? Rollosmokes 07:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

sorry, i fixed this and moved it to a page similar to what you suggested, but just a gallery page, as it is not just personalities seen in the gallery and i dont want to write abotu every anchor. sidestreetchat

And when I am on the TV news discussions, guess where the stories come from??? NY Post or NY Daily News.

regarding "flagship station"
It is generally regarded that the networks (especially CBS, ABC, and NBC) have two so-called "flagship stations," one in New York and one in Los Angeles; these affiliates are in the two largest markets, they carry the network letters in their call signs, and deliver the east and west coast feeds. For further clarification and a roster of stations see the Wikipedia article "Flagship: television." I have also re-inserted a reference to KCBS-TV as a station, along with WCBS-TV and WBBM-TV, as having more highly esteemed news operations than the competitors in their respective markets during the 1960s and early 1970s. A look at article "KCBS-TV" might amplify my contention. 67.180.135.133 (talk) 23:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)67.180.135.133 (talk) 23:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Kinji Imanishi

Kinji Imanishi (今西 錦司) was a Japanese ecologist and anthropologist. He was the founder of Kyoto University's Primate Research Institute and, together with Junichiro Itani, is considered one of the founders of Japanese primatology.

Early life and education
Kinji Imanishi was born and raised in Kyoto. He studied at the Third High School from 1920 to 1925. He joined the mountaineering club for students and made friends with Takeo Kuwabara, Eizaburo Nishibori, etc. He entered Kyoto Imperial University in April 1925. He belonged to the School of Agriculture and measured biology. After getting the BA degree, he entered graduate school at the same university.

As a biologist (before the Pacific War)
Kinji became the special lecturer of his alma mater in March 1933. Kinji and Kani Tokichi (可児 藤吉) were interested in the ecological difference between insects which depend on the parts of a river. They built a theory of ecological niche. In 1928, he received his Doctor of Science. The title of his doctoral dissertation was "Mayflies in Japanese mountain streams" (日本渓流産蜉蝣目). He joined as a member of the Mongolian expedition of Kyoto Imperial University in the same year, where he demonstrated the skill of mountaineering and survival from his high school days.

He was appointed researcher at the Institute for Life Sciences of Asia, under the jurisdiction of East Asia Development Board, in 1929. As a researcher, he traveled in Pohnpei ilands for research. Next, he went on an expedition to the northern area of Greater Khingan in May 1941 (until July 1941). When the Northwest Research Institute was established in Spring 1944, he assumed the president.

After the War
He was back to a lecturer at Kyoto University, School of Agriculture. He belonged the Kyoto University Research Centre for the Cultural Sciences from August 1950. He led the Manaslu expedition in 1952. Next, he led the Scientific expedition of Karakorum-Hindu Kush from 1955.

In 1956, he built the Japan Monkey Centre at Inuyama, which is a zoological garden of primates (The southern side of this center exist the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto university ). He was promoted to professor of the Kyoto University Research Centre for the Cultural Sciences in 1959. He was the chief of the Research team of Hominidae in three expeditions: 1961, 1963, and 1964. He retired to Kyoto University in 1965.

After the retirement of Kyoto University, he was a professor at Okayama University (May 1965-May 1966). From June 1966, he served the fourth principal of Gifu University (until June 1973). Kinji's long-cherished desire attained in 1967, Primate Research Institute was founded in 1967.

He loved mountain climbing all his life, and was the chairman of Japanese Alpine Club from 1973 to 1976.

Contribution of research
Imanishi and his students did foundational research on the behavior and social life of semi-wild horses and later of macaques,   identifying individuals and making detailed observations on them over generations. This has led to important insights into animal culture. Imanishi introduced the Japanese term kaluchua which was later translated by Masao Kawai and others to refer to socially learned behaviors as "pre-culture".

In 1957, Imanishi founded the journal Primates, which is the oldest and longest-running international primatology journal in the world.

Imanishi's concept of species society is central to his views of the interconnectedness of things in nature. The world of species has been viewed as a social phenomenon, in which various individuals are continually contributing to the maintenance and perpetuation of the species society to which they belong.

Maya script

Maya script, also known as Maya glyphs, is historically the native writing system of the Maya civilization of Mesoamerica and is the only Mesoamerican writing system that has been substantially deciphered. The earliest inscriptions found which are identifiably Maya date to the 3rd century BCE in San Bartolo, Guatemala. Maya writing was in continuous use throughout Mesoamerica until the Spanish conquest of the Maya in the 16th and 17th centuries. Though modern Mayan languages are almost entirely written using the Latin alphabet rather than Maya script, there have been recent developments encouraging a revival of the Maya glyph system.

Maya writing used logograms complemented with a set of syllabic glyphs, somewhat similar in function to modern Japanese writing. Maya writing was called "hieroglyphics" or hieroglyphs by early European explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries who found its general appearance reminiscent of Egyptian hieroglyphs, although the two systems are unrelated.

Languages
Evidence suggests that codices and other classic texts were written by scribes—usually members of the Maya priesthood—in Classic Maya, a literary form of the extinct Chʼoltiʼ language. It is possible that the Maya elite spoke this language as a lingua franca over the entire Maya-speaking area, but texts were also written in other Mayan languages of the Petén and Yucatán, especially Yucatec. There is also some evidence that the script may have been occasionally used to write Mayan languages of the Guatemalan Highlands. However, if other languages were written, they may have been written by Chʼoltiʼ scribes, and therefore have Chʼoltiʼ elements.

Structure

Mayan writing consisted of a relatively elaborate and complex set of glyphs, which were laboriously painted on ceramics, walls and bark-paper codices, carved in wood or stone, and molded in stucco. Carved and molded glyphs were painted, but the paint has rarely survived. , the sound of about 80% of Maya writing could be read and the meaning of about 60% could be understood with varying degrees of certainty, enough to give a comprehensive idea of its structure.

Maya texts were usually written in blocks arranged in columns two blocks wide, with each block corresponding to a noun or verb phrase. The blocks within the columns were read left to right, top to bottom, and would be repeated until there were no more columns left. Within a block, glyphs were arranged top-to-bottom and left-to-right (similar to Korean Hangul syllabic blocks). Glyphs were sometimes conflated into ligatures, where an element of one glyph would replace part of a second. In place of the standard block configuration, Maya was also sometimes written in a single row or column, or in an 'L' or 'T' shape. These variations most often appeared when they would better fit the surface being inscribed.

The Maya script was a logosyllabic system with some syllabogrammatic elements. Individual glyphs or symbols could represent either a morpheme or a syllable, and the same glyph could often be used for both. Because of these dual readings, it is customary to write logographic readings in all caps and phonetic readings in italics or bold. For example, a calendaric glyph can be read as the morpheme or as the syllable chi.

Glyphs used as syllabograms were originally logograms for single-syllable words, usually those that ended in a vowel or in a weak consonant such as y, w, h, or glottal stop. For example, the logogram for 'fish fin'—found in two forms, as a fish fin and as a fish with prominent fins—was read as [kah] and came to represent the syllable ka. These syllabic glyphs performed two primary functions: as phonetic complements to disambiguate logograms which had more than one reading (similar to ancient Egyptian and modern Japanese furigana); and to write grammatical elements such as verbal inflections which did not have dedicated logograms (similar to Japanese okurigana). For example, bʼalam 'jaguar' could be written as a single logogram, ; a logogram with syllable additions, as ba-, or -ma, or bʼa--ma; or written completely phonetically with syllabograms as bʼa-la-ma.

In addition, some syllable glyphs were homophones, such as the six different glyphs used to write the very common third person pronoun u-.

Harmonic and disharmonic echo vowels
Phonetic glyphs stood for simple consonant-vowel (CV) or vowel-only (V) syllables. However, Mayan phonotactics is slightly more complicated than this. Most Mayan words end with consonants, and there may be sequences of two consonants within a word as well, as in xolteʼ ( 'scepter') which is CVCCVC. When these final consonants were sonorants (l, m, n) or gutturals (j, h, ʼ) they were sometimes ignored ("underspelled"). More often, final consonants were written, which meant that an extra vowel was written as well. This was typically an "echo" vowel that repeated the vowel of the previous syllable. For example, the word [kah] 'fish fin' would be underspelled ka or written in full as ka-ha. However, there are many cases where some other vowel was used, and the orthographic rules for this are only partially understood; this is largely due to the difficulty in ascertaining whether this vowel may be due to an underspelled suffix.

proposed the following conventions:
 * A CVC syllable was written CV-CV, where the two vowels (V) were the same: yo-po [yop] 'leaf'
 * A syllable with a long vowel (CVVC) was written CV-Ci, unless the long vowel was [i], in which case it was written CiCa: ba-ki [baak] 'captive', yi-tzi-na [yihtziin] 'younger brother'
 * A syllable with a glottalized vowel (CVʼC or CVʼVC) was written with a final a if the vowel was [e, o, u], or with a final u if the vowel was [a] or [i]: hu-na [huʼn] 'paper', ba-tzʼu [baʼtsʼ] 'howler monkey'.
 * Preconsonantal [h] is not indicated.

In short, if the vowels are the same (harmonic), a simple vowel is intended. If the vowels are not the same (disharmonic), either two syllables are intended (likely underspelled), or else a single syllable with a long vowel (if V1 = [a e? o u] and V2 = [i], or else if V1 = [i] and V2 = [a]) or with a glottalized vowel (if V1 = [e? o u] and V2 = [a], or else if V1 = [a i] and V2 = [u]). The long-vowel reading of [Ce-Ci] is still uncertain, and there is a possibility that [Ce-Cu] represents a glottalized vowel (if it is not simply an underspelling for [CeCuC]), so it may be that the disharmonies form natural classes: [i] for long non-front vowels, otherwise [a] to keep it disharmonic; [u] for glottalized non-back vowels, otherwise [a].

A more complex spelling is ha-o-bo ko-ko-no-ma for [haʼoʼb kohknoʼm] 'they are the guardians'. A minimal set is,

 * ba-ka [bak]
 * ba-ki [baak]
 * ba-ku [baʼk] = [baʼak]
 * ba-ke [baakel] (underspelled)
 * ba-ke-le [baakel]

Verbal inflections
Despite depending on consonants which were frequently not written, the Mayan voice system was reliably indicated. For instance, the paradigm for a transitive verb with a CVC root is as follows:

The active suffix did not participate in the harmonic/disharmonic system seen in roots, but rather was always -wa.

However, the language changed over 1500 years, and there were dialectal differences as well, which are reflected in the script, as seen next for the verb "(s)he sat" ($\langleh\rangle$ is an infix in the root chum for the passive voice):

Emblem glyphs
An "emblem glyph" is a kind of royal title. It consists of a place name followed by the word ajaw, a Classic Maya term for "lord" with an unclear but well-attested etymology. Sometimes the title is introduced by an adjective kʼuhul ("holy, divine" or "sacred"), resulting in the construction "holy [placename] lord". However, an "emblem glyph" is not a "glyph" at all: it can be spelled with any number of syllabic or logographic signs and several alternative spellings are attested for the words kʼuhul and ajaw, which form the stable core of the title. "Emblem glyph" simply reflects the time when Mayanists could not read Classic Maya inscriptions and used a term to isolate specific recurring structural components of the written narratives, and other remaining examples of Maya orthography.

This title was identified in 1958 by Heinrich Berlin, who coined the term "emblem glyph". Berlin noticed that the "emblem glyphs" consisted of a larger "main sign" and two smaller signs now read as kʼuhul ajaw. Berlin also noticed that while the smaller elements remained relatively constant, the main sign changed from site to site. Berlin proposed that the main signs identified individual cities, their ruling dynasties, or the territories they controlled. Subsequently, argued that the "emblem glyphs" referred to archaeological sites, or more so the prominence and standing of the site, broken down in a 5-tiered hierarchy of asymmetrical distribution. Marcus' research assumed that the emblem glyphs were distributed in a pattern of relative site importance depending on broadness of distribution, roughly broken down as follows: Primary regional centers (capitals) (Tikal, Calakmul, and other "superpowers") were generally first in the region to acquire a unique emblem glyph(s). Texts referring to other primary regional centers occur in the texts of these "capitals", and dependencies exist which use the primary center's glyph. Secondary centers (Altun Ha, Lubaantun, Xunantunich, and other mid-sized cities) had their own glyphs but are only rarely mentioned in texts found in the primary regional center, while repeatedly mentioning the regional center in their own texts. Tertiary centers (towns) had no glyphs of their own, but have texts mentioning the primary regional centers and perhaps secondary regional centers on occasion. These were followed by the villages with no emblem glyphs and no texts mentioning the larger centers, and hamlets with little evidence of texts at all. This model was largely unchallenged for over a decade until Mathews and Justeson, as well as Houston, argued once again that the "emblem glyphs" were the titles of Maya rulers with some geographical association.

The debate on the nature of "emblem glyphs" received a new spin in. The authors demonstrated that there were many place-names-proper, some real, some mythological, mentioned in the hieroglyphic inscriptions. Some of these place names also appeared in the "emblem glyphs", some were attested in the "titles of origin" (expressions like "a person from Lubaantun"), but some were not incorporated in personal titles at all. Moreover, the authors also highlighted the cases when the "titles of origin" and the "emblem glyphs" did not overlap, building upon Houston's earlier research. Houston noticed that the establishment and spread of the Tikal-originated dynasty in the Petexbatun region was accompanied by the proliferation of rulers using the Tikal "emblem glyph" placing political and dynastic ascendancy above the current seats of rulership. Recent investigations also emphasize the use of emblem glyphs as an emic identifier to shape socio-political self-identity.

Numerical system
The Mayas used a positional base-twenty (vigesimal) numerical system which only included whole numbers. For simple counting operations, a bar and dot notation was used. The dot represents 1 and the bar represents 5. A shell was used to represent zero. Numbers from 6 to 19 are formed combining bars and dots, and can be written horizontally or vertically.

Numbers over 19 are written vertically and read from the bottom to the top as powers of 20. The bottom number represents numbers from 0 to 20, so the symbol shown does not need to be multiplied. The second line from the bottom represents the amount of 20s there are, so that number is multiplied by 20. The third line from the bottom represents the amount of 400s, so it is multiplied by 400; the fourth by 8000; the fifth by 160,000, etc. Each successive line is an additional power of twenty (similar to how in Arabic numerals, additional powers of 10 are added to the left of the first digit). This positional system allows the calculation of large figures, necessary for chronology and astronomy.

History
It was until recently thought that the Maya may have adopted writing from the Olmec or Epi-Olmec culture, who used the Isthmian script. However, murals excavated in 2005 have pushed back the origin of Maya writing by several centuries, and it now seems possible that the Maya were the ones who invented writing in Mesoamerica. Scholarly consensus is that the Maya developed the only complete writing system in Mesoamerica.

Before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors, the Aztecs destroyed many Mayan works and sought to depict themselves as the true rulers through a fake history and newly written texts. Knowledge of the Maya writing system continued into the early colonial era and reportedly a few of the early Spanish priests who went to Yucatán learned it. However, as part of his campaign to eradicate pagan rites, Bishop Diego de Landa ordered the collection and destruction of written Maya works, and a sizable number of Maya codices were destroyed. Later, seeking to use their native language to convert the Maya to Christianity, he derived what he believed to be a Maya "alphabet" (the so-called de Landa alphabet). Although the Maya did not actually write alphabetically, nevertheless he recorded a glossary of Maya sounds and related symbols, which was long dismissed as nonsense (for instance, by leading Mayanist J. E. S. Thompson in his 1950 book Maya Hieroglyphic Writing) but eventually became a key resource in deciphering the Maya script. The difficulty was that there was no simple correspondence between the two systems, and the names of the letters of the Spanish alphabet meant nothing to Landa's Maya scribe, so Landa ended up asking things like write "ha": "hache–a", and glossed a part of the result as "H," which, in reality, was written as a-che-a in Maya glyphs. Landa was also involved in creating an orthography, or a system of writing, for the Yucatec Maya language using the Latin alphabet. This was the first Latin orthography for any of the Mayan languages, which number around thirty.

For many years, only three Maya codices were known to have survived the conquistadors; this was expanded with the 2015 authentication of the Grolier Codex as the fourth. Most surviving texts are found on pottery recovered from Maya tombs, or from monuments and stelae erected in sites which were abandoned or buried before the arrival of the Spanish.

Knowledge of the writing system was lost, probably by the end of the 16th century. Renewed interest in it was sparked by published accounts of ruined Maya sites in the 19th century.

Decipherment
Deciphering Maya writing has proven a long and laborious process. 19th-century and early 20th-century investigators managed to decode the Maya numbers and portions of the texts related to astronomy and the Maya calendar, but understanding of most of the rest long eluded scholars. In the 1930s, Benjamin Whorf wrote a number of published and unpublished essays, proposing to identify phonetic elements within the writing system. Although some specifics of his decipherment claims were later shown to be incorrect, the central argument of his work, that Maya hieroglyphs were phonetic (or more specifically, syllabic), was later supported by the work of Yuri Knorozov (1922–1999), who played a major role in deciphering Maya writing. Napoleon Cordy also made some notable contributions in the 1930s and 1940s to the early study and decipherment of Maya script.

Including "Examples of Phonetic Construction in Maya Hieroglyphs", in 1946. In 1952 Knorozov published the paper "Ancient Writing of Central America", arguing that the so-called "de Landa alphabet" contained in Bishop Diego de Landa's manuscript Relación de las Cosas de Yucatán was made of syllabic, rather than alphabetic symbols. He further improved his decipherment technique in his 1963 monograph "The Writing of the Maya Indians" and published translations of Maya manuscripts in his 1975 work "Maya Hieroglyphic Manuscripts". In the 1960s, progress revealed the dynastic records of Maya rulers. Since the early 1980s scholars have demonstrated that most of the previously unknown symbols form a syllabary, and progress in reading the Maya writing has advanced rapidly since.

As Knorozov's early essays contained several older readings already published in the late 19th century by Cyrus Thomas, and the Soviet editors added propagandistic claims to the effect that Knorozov was using a peculiarly "Marxist-Leninist" approach to decipherment, many Western Mayanists simply dismissed Knorozov's work. However, in the 1960s, more came to see the syllabic approach as potentially fruitful, and possible phonetic readings for symbols whose general meaning was understood from context began to develop. Prominent older epigrapher J. Eric S. Thompson was one of the last major opponents of Knorozov and the syllabic approach. Thompson's disagreements are sometimes said to have held back advances in decipherment. For example, says "the major reason was that almost the entire Mayanist field was in willing thrall to one very dominant scholar, Eric Thompson". G. Ershova, a student of Knorozov's, stated that reception of Knorozov's work was delayed only by authority of Thompson, and thus has nothing to do with Marxism – "But he (Knorozov) did not even suspect what a storm of hatred his success had caused in the head of the American school of Mayan studies, Eric Thompson. And the Cold War was absolutely nothing to do with it. An Englishman by birth, Eric Thompson, after learning about the results of the work of a young Soviet scientist, immediately realized 'who got the victory'."

In 1959, examining what she called "a peculiar pattern of dates" on stone monument inscriptions at the Classic Maya site of Piedras Negras, Russian-American scholar Tatiana Proskouriakoff determined that these represented events in the lifespan of an individual, rather than relating to religion, astronomy, or prophecy, as held by the "old school" exemplified by Thompson. This proved to be true of many Maya inscriptions, and revealed the Maya epigraphic record to be one relating actual histories of ruling individuals: dynastic histories similar in nature to those recorded in other human cultures throughout the world. Suddenly, the Maya entered written history.

Although it was then clear what was on many Maya inscriptions, they still could not literally be read. However, further progress was made during the 1960s and 1970s, using a multitude of approaches including pattern analysis, de Landa's "alphabet", Knorozov's breakthroughs, and others. In the story of Maya decipherment, the work of archaeologists, art historians, epigraphers, linguists, and anthropologists cannot be separated. All contributed to a process that was truly and essentially multidisciplinary. Key figures included David Kelley, Ian Graham, Gilette Griffin, and Michael Coe.

A new wave of breakthroughs occurred in the early 1970s, in particular at the first Mesa Redonda de Palenque, a scholarly conference organized by Merle Greene Robertson at the Maya site of Palenque and held in December, 1973. A working group consisting of Linda Schele, then a studio artist and art instructor, Floyd Lounsbury, a linguist from Yale, and Peter Mathews, then an undergraduate student of David Kelley's at the University of Calgary (whom Kelley sent because he could not attend). In one afternoon they reconstructed most of the dynastic list of Palenque, building on the earlier work of Heinrich Berlin. By identifying a sign as an important royal title (now read as the recurring name Kʼinich), the group was able to identify and "read" the life histories (from birth, to accession to the throne, to death) of six kings of Palenque. Palenque was the focus of much epigraphic work through the late 1970s, but linguistic decipherment of texts remained very limited.

From that point, progress proceeded rapidly. Scholars such as J. Kathryn Josserand, Nick Hopkins and others published findings that helped to construct a Mayan vocabulary. The "old school" continued to resist the results of the new scholarship for some time. A decisive event which helped to turn the tide in favor of the new approach occurred in 1986, at an exhibition entitled "The Blood of Kings: A New Interpretation of Maya Art", organized by InterCultura and the Kimbell Art Museum and curated by Schele and by Yale art historian Mary Miller. This exhibition and its attendant catalogue—and international publicity—revealed to a wide audience the new world which had latterly been opened up by progress in decipherment of Maya hieroglyphics. Not only could a real history of ancient America now be read and understood, but the light it shed on the material remains of the Maya showed them to be real, recognisable individuals. They stood revealed as a people with a history like that of all other human societies: full of wars, dynastic struggles, shifting political alliances, complex religious and artistic systems, expressions of personal property and ownership and the like. Moreover, the new interpretation, as the exhibition demonstrated, made sense out of many works of art whose meaning had been unclear and showed how the material culture of the Maya represented a fully integrated cultural system and world-view. Gone was the old Thompson view of the Maya as peaceable astronomers without conflict or other attributes characteristic of most human societies.

However, three years later, in 1989, supporters who continued to resist the modern decipherment interpretation made their last argument against it. This occurred at a conference at Dumbarton Oaks. It did not directly attack the methodology or results of decipherment, but instead contended that the ancient Maya texts had indeed been read but were "epiphenomenal". This argument was extended from a populist perspective to say that the deciphered texts tell only about the concerns and beliefs of the society's elite, and not about the ordinary Maya. In opposition to this idea, Michael Coe described "epiphenomenal" as "a ten penny word meaning that Maya writing is only of marginal application since it is secondary to those more primary institutions—economics and society—so well studied by the dirt archaeologists."

Linda Schele noted following the conference that this is like saying that the inscriptions of ancient Egypt—or the writings of Greek philosophers or historians—do not reveal anything important about their cultures. Most written documents in most cultures tell us about the elite, because in most cultures in the past, they were the ones who could write (or could have things written down by scribes or inscribed on monuments).

Over 90 percent of the Maya texts can now be read with reasonable accuracy. , at least one phonetic glyph was known for each of the syllables marked green in this chart. /tʼ/ is rare. /pʼ/ is not found, and is thought to have been a later innovation in the Ch'olan and Yucatecan languages.

Syllables
Syllables are in the form of consonant + vowel. The top line contains individual vowels. In the left column are the consonants with their pronunciation instructions. The apostrophe ' represents the glottal stop. There are different variations of the same character in the table cell. Blank cells are bytes whose characters are not yet known.

Example
Tomb of Kʼinich Janaabʼ Pakal:

Text: ''Yak’aw ʔuk’uhul pik juʔn winaak pixoʔm ʔusak hunal ʔuʔh Yax K’ahk’ K’uh(?) ʔutuʔp k’uh(ul)? ...l ʔukoʔhaw Chaahk (‘GI’) Sak Baluʔn.''

Translation: «He gave the god clothing, [consisted of] twenty nine headgears, white ribbon, necklace, First Fire God’s earrings and God’s quadrilateral badge helmet, to Chaahk Sak-Balun».

Revival
In recent times, there has been an increased interest in reviving usage of the script. Various works have recently been both transliterated and created into the script, notably the transcription of the Popol Vuh in 2018, a record of Kʼicheʼ religion. Another example is the sculpting and writing of a modern stele placed at Iximche in 2012, describing the full historical record of the site dating back to the beginning of the Mayan long count. The 2014 poem "Cigarra", by Martín Gómez Ramírez, was written entirely in Tzeltal using the script.

Computer encoding
The Maya script can be represented as a custom downloadable primer's font but has yet to be formally introduced into Unicode standards. With the renewed usage of Maya writing, digital encoding of the script has been of recent interest. A range of code points (U+15500–U+159FF) has been tentatively allocated for Unicode, but no detailed encoding proposal has been submitted yet. The Script Encoding Initiative project of the University of California, Berkeley, was awarded a grant in June 2016 to create a proposal to the Unicode Consortium for layout and presentation mechanisms in Unicode text. It was expected to be completed in 2017, but, they have not completed this project.

The goal of encoding Maya hieroglyphs in Unicode is to facilitate the modern use of the script. For representing the degree of flexibility and variation of classical Maya, the expressiveness of Unicode is insufficient (e.g., with regard to the representation of infixes, i.e., signs inserted into other signs), so, for philological applications, different technologies are required.

The Mayan numerals, with values 0–1910 creating a base-20 system, are encoded in block Mayan Numerals.

merge?
I didn't suggest this, I'm not convinced it's necessary. The "orders" article needs expanding to include all the older variants but I think it's good to keep them separate. Don't merge. Iancaddy 16:43, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the "orders" article. so obviously don't merge.. --Cliffb 03:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I think iceland Air is missing from the list not sure though

I added a comment about operators, some of these airlines no longer operate 737s Archtrain 16:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Needs work
Without thinking too hard, I added 8 airlines to the list. This list is incomplete! Archtrain 17:05, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I noticed that user Archtrain has added past operators, up to now this list has only included current operators. Not a problem if we want to add past operators but if we add one or two then we should add the other few hundred or so former operators! MilborneOne 17:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

B737s in Austral Líneas Aéreas fleet?
No source supports this claim, and as can be seen in this airline's wikiarticle (and its related sources) the Boeing 737 has never been in Austral's fleet. Maybe the confusion arises from its "relationship" with Aerolíneas Argentinas, which has been (and is) a B737 operator since long time ago? Hence, I've removed Austral's entry from this list. Regards, DPdH (talk) 00:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I have restored Austral back in the list as they appear to have operated a few 737s just put LV-BBN or LV-ZSW or LV-ZTE or LV-ZTT or LV-AZU or LV-ZXH or LV-ZYI into Google. MilborneOne (talk) 17:20, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi MilborneOne, thanks for your comments. I did that, for example: LV-BBN appears listed only for AR (not AU), LV-ZYI appears listed for AU only in blogs or un-official websites, as can be seen below (hits from GOOGLE Argentina, retrieved today):
 * Aerolineas Argentinas... Continuing its growth and expansion plan, in October Aerolíneas Argentinas incorporated a new Boeing 737/500, license LV-BBN, to its domestic flights fleet ... ( "Aerolíneas Argentinas incorporates a new Boeing 737/500 to its domestic fleet", Buenos Aires, October 18 2006. Aerolíneas Argentinas Official Website);
 * Aerolíneas Argentinas continúa la renovación de su flota Por otra parte el séptimo Boeing 737/500 - matriculado como LV-BBN - arribará al país la semana próxima para completar diez unidades de este tipo durante ...  ([http://www.volandoxtv.com.ar/.../AEROLINEAS-ARGENTINAS-CONTINUA-LA-RENOVACION-DE-SU-FLOTA.htm "Aerolíneas Argentinas continúa la renovación de su flota", 17-June-2006. Non-official website, civil aviation related news).
 * To add to the confusion (myself included!), the Austral website redirects to the Aerolíneas Argentinas Official Website, and there it's unclear how AU is related to AR, in operations, destinations and fleet. By the way, in the official website all the current fleet profiles appear in AR livery and logos! (see details in , retrieved today).
 * So IMHO, there is no verifiable evidence or source to support the fact that AU operates (or has operated) the B-737. Hence, I will revert the (disputed) edit until the moment such evidence is provided. Kind regards, DPdH (talk) 00:18, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I suggest you google for images related to these registrations all the aircraft have the word Austral on them! first google result is loads of images of 737s with Austral titles can be found. MilborneOne (talk) 11:36, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the additional info. IMHO, a collection of images cannot qualify as a verifiable source (usually lacks info as: when taken, history of the aircraft, etc). I'm not saying that AU didn't operate B-737 (thanks to the possible "pooling" of aicraft with AR), what I'm saying is that you need to provide adequate sources for this information to be included in this list + please add that info (and sources) also in the "Austral" main article. I was unable to find positive evidence about Austral "historical" fleet, hence if in doubt I prefer to keep this airline out of this list for now. Nothing personal, just trying to be precise. Cheers, DPdH (talk) 00:02, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure why you have mentioned an edit war nobody has added Austral back while this discussion is still ongoing. Looks like it is down to that they are lots of images of Austral Boeing 737s but you say images are not reliable! I would have though an image was more reliable than a written source! Interesting to note nothing else on this page has a reliable source either!! MilborneOne (talk) 21:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Just looking at this article and I noticed that some of the tables in this article need some work, specifically the ones for the US and UK. For example, the "737-900" column seems to be used for notes in the UK table, and the US table seems to have two notes columns. Can we please do some work to improve the tables? I will work on this when I get the chance, but I'd appreciate help from other Wikipedians.

List as 103 separate tables
I came to this article with a specific question on my mind: Who is the largest operator of Being 737s? I thought that this article, "List of Being 737 operators" would be the perfect article to answer the question. Then I found that the list was organized as 103 separate, unsortable tables, and I became very sad. For comparison, I looked at List of Airbus A320 operators, and found a sensible 3 tables: Major airlines, private, and military. Sortable, concise, and able to answer my question, which is US Airways for the A320 series.

I suggest the current formatting is totally overblown for a 'list' article, such that it impedes the reader's ability to read the article. The use of photos is probably the primary downfall, since photos must be at least thumbnail size for them to be relevant, and on a compact list, they just aren't usable. But this is fine, this page is not meant to be a photo gallery, and it shouldn't try to be one.

Any objection to this suggestion that this article would be much better if the formatting were similar to List of Airbus A320 operators? —fudoreaper (talk) 07:38, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I thought about changing it to just 2 tables. First table for current operators. Second table for former operators. Like the in the topic I posted on this talk page yesterday.
 * The downside is, that there are way more active and former 737 operators than A320 family ones. So each table gonna be very long. It will be difficult to find out how many aircraft of a variant an airline has, because the header of the table is way further up. WikiPate (talk) 15:14, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Reconfigure Table?
The current configuration of this list is outdated. There should be a simple chart and be able to sort by total number like the A320 page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Airbus_A320_family_operators — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:44:4203:3A30:355C:9BC7:258F:2C03 (talk) 01:20, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Two clean sortable tables
Hey, this article needs improvement. It cannot be sorted by total amount of 737 aircraft in service and is difficult to read. And it must become easier to be updated in the future.

I am in favor to do it this way based on the example of the article List of Airbus A320 family operators:

All operators

Former operators

The notes can be brought back if somebody finds references for them. WikiPate (talk) 17:15, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:University of Costa Rica logo.jpg
Image:University of Costa Rica logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Internet terrorism

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was REDIRECT. dbenbenn | talk 16:00, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Internet terrorism
This isn't the article about "cyber-terrorism". All it does is acknowledge that even though "terrorism" refers specifically to the use of violence, that the intended goal behind the violence can be to send a message. Leaping abruptly from there to the assumption that sending a message can therefore be terrorism regardless of whether any act or threat of violence is involved, the article then asserts "By inference", people "could be accused of Internet terrorism" if they are using the Internet to disseminate any information that damages the reputation or public standing of a corporation or a political or religious figure. By this ludicrously broad definition, Wikipedia's a hub of "Internet terrorism": have you included any information, true or false, in any article, which makes a public figure look bad? Congratulations, you're an "Internet terrorist". It's another attempt to take an emotionally loaded word and stretch the definition until it screams, for the purposes of getting all that emotional loading into a neologism to throw at enemies. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:12, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. It's just somebody's college dissertation, or something. The second source uses the phrase in "quotes" throughout, suggesting that it's not notable in itself. The article is couched in terms of 'some scholars argue' and 'it could be argued that', and Wikipedia isn't a place for inferences. Worst of all, there's nothing specifically 'internet' about the phenomenon as described; concept is covered much better in disinformation, big lie, propaganda and so on. -Ashley Pomeroy 00:30, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect imaginary topic to cyber-terrorism. The word for this is libel. Gazpacho 00:33, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: This isn't something the author made up, I've heard the term used in this sense before. I'd agree it's stretching the meaning out of all recognition. 03:45, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to cyber-terrorism. Not the same thing, but how many casual users know the difference?  -Sean Curtin 04:39, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * " ...people or groups that use the Internet for the systematic spreading of information aimed at harassing, damaging or destroying the business of corporations or the public standing of political and religious figures, could be accused of Internet terrorism." Sure, or they could be accused of winning the Specialhappypeople Award, as I will accuse them of doing if no one else will. Utter crap. Delete, or some redirect without merge, like Sean suggested. -R. fiend 04:56, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
