Jorge Kahwagi

Jorge Antonio Kahwagi Macari (born May 28, 1968) is a Mexican businessman, politician, and show business personality.

Boxing
Kahwagi debuted professionally in the sport on December 10, 2001, knocking out newcomer Perry Williams in the first round, and ended his career in 2015 after establishing an undefeated record of 12 wins, all fights by knockout. Kahwagi is infamous amongst boxing fans for charges of manipulated fights, which increased significantly after the knockouts against boxers Roberto José Coelho in 2005 and against Ramon Alejandro Olivas on September 11, 2015, and became one of the reasons explaining his withdrawal from the sport. His fight against Olivas has been called "one of the most infamous fiascos in recent boxing history".

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sousveillance

 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. I'm going to switch the two articles while I'm at it, so Inverse surveillance will redirect to Sousveillance. dbenbenn | talk 16:46, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Sousveillance
Introduction of a neologism only attested in "hip speak", without any clear explanation of what it means. Personal research in sociology. Incomprehensible babble ("cyborglogs"). Advertisement of a certain NYC group. David.Monniaux 10:23, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * See previous nomination at Talk:Inverse surveillance.

 * Delete Rama 10:37, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sousveillance scores a respectable 25K Google hits so perhaps it is not a neologism. I too consider that Stefanos Pantagis writes a lot of high-faluting drivel. Look what he wrote about creating his Equiveillance article Equiveillance is my first wikipedia submission. Had fun writting it: the square paragraph system of linking words withing wikipedia creates all sorts of linguistic tension, and forces the article to sort of fit in and explain relative to the other definition, but is extraordinary very free at the same time. (this blog link may change quickly). -- RWH 11:57, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
 * I also suggest a look at the edit history comments of Equiveillance and the first paragraph of the 10:18, 2005-02-14 revision of that article. Uncle G 12:45, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
 * Keep. The two main reasons to keep are (1) sousveillance already survived a vfd in the past.  Since then, it has grown substantially in common usage, and in many of the newspapers and magazines it no longer appears in quotes, or with definition or explanation.  For example, I got a call from the Life Magazine fact checker, who wanted to learn more about this, and she thought it was an old French word (i.e. didn't realize it was newly coined) since it has been in such widespread use.  (2) A large number of publications, printed materials, articles, etc., make reference to http://wikipedia.org/Sousveillance and thus deletion of this entry would create a loss in faith of the permanence of Wikipedia entries, and the ability to make scientific or scholarly references into Wikipedia. Glogger 17:34, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Neutral for now. Please provide a Wiki link which shows record of this article surviving a prior votes for deletion.  I would like to review it.  GRider\talk 18:53, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to inverse surveillance. It seems likely that this concept will get some air as the assumption of "public privacy" is eroded by the increasing ubiquity of security cameras, etc. Therefore I think that the more NPOV and non-neologistic article might subsume this article. All in my humble opinion, of course. HyperZonk 17:36, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect, no merge. Wyss 17:57, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect, no merge. Wile E. Heresiarch 18:59, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect, to inverse surveillance. Megan1967 01:04, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Partial merge and redirect. Dumb but popular neologism.  -Sean Curtin 02:52, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * "Sousveillance" was previously nominated for deletion in April 2004. See Talk:Inverse surveillance.  The decision then was keep.  The article was later moved to "Inverse surveillance".  I don't particularly care which title gets the article but one of them should redirect to the other.  The fork is inappropriate.  Rossami (talk) 04:57, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * "Sousveillance" was renamed after it survived the VfD in 2004. I don't think the re-naming was a good thing because (1) sousveillance is a broader concept than inverse surveillance (sousveillance is a proper superset of inverse surveillance); (2) sousveillance is in far wider usage than inverse surveillance e.g. 27,000 Google hits as compared with approx. 800, and an even higher ratio in the published literature.  Disclaimer: I also coined the term "inverse surveillance" so I'm equally partial/non-impartial to both of these terms. Glogger 13:56, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm gonna have to go with merge and redirect to Inverse surveillance, which is a better article but still rather messy, and in need of some NPOVing. Inverse surveillance implies there's a difference between that and "sousveillance", but it isn't clear to me what the difference is. The sousveillance article is just a mess; when I read it I didn't have the remotest idea what it was talking about. --Angr 23:30, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I propose the following: (1) get rid of or the poorly written sousveillance article; (2) rename the "inverse surveillance" article to sousveillance; (3) make a re-direct from "inverse surveillance" that points to the sousveillance article. That way the article will be titled by sousveillance (the more widely used term than inverse surveillance) but will contain the better written of the two, and eliminate the redundancy of having two articles in which one describes a topic that is a subset of the other. Glogger 04:25, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * If it is decided to go with my suggestion of getting rid of Sousveillance and then renaming Inverse_surveillance to Sousveillance, perhaps we could pull in some parts of the deleted article to merge. Also, Inverse_surveillance, once renamed to Sousveillance, would hopefully then also retain the edit history and the original VfD result of "keep".  Some minor edits would be required because I (perhaps in bad judgement) edited the article once it was changed to "Inverse surveillance" in the past, in order to match that changed title, but on second thought, it seems like it had been a mistake to rename it to Inverse surveillance and it probably should have been left as Sousveillance, so as not to produce this fork between what is now two articles in which one is a proper superset of the other (making the other redundant to some degree).  Glogger 04:20, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Rockingham Forest

Rockingham Forest is a former royal hunting forest in the county of Northamptonshire, England. It is an area of some 200 sqmi lying between the River Welland and River Nene and the towns of Stamford and Kettering. It has a rich and varied landscape, with farmland, open pasture, pockets of woodland and villages built from local stone.

History
The forest was named after the village of Rockingham, where the castle was a royal retreat. The boundaries were marked by the River Nene on the eastern side and on the western side what is now the A508 road from Market Harborough to Northampton. Over the years the forest shrank, and today only a patchwork of the north-eastern forest remains. The bulk of the remaining forest is located within a square, of which the corners are Corby, Kettering, Thrapston and Oundle.

The area became a royal hunting ground for King William I after the Norman conquest. The term forest represented an area of legal jurisdiction and remained so until the 19th century.

A Cistercian abbey was established in 1143 which became known as Pipewell Abbey. In 1298 the de Lacys were granted permission to inclose 30 acre pertaining to the manor of Wadenhoe, lying within the forest, in order to make a park. The forest boundaries were set in 1299, although the boundaries returned to a smaller area as a result of King Charles I's actions. King Charles II took little interest in the forest and gave away or sold much of it. By 1792 there was no significant royal ownership of the forest area. Parliamentary enclosure of the bailiwicks and disafforestation of Rockingham bailiwick in 1832 resulted in a much smaller forest area with much of the land turned over to agriculture. The Forestry Commission took over the remnants of public woodland in 1923. The forest originally stretched from Stamford down to Northampton.

Geology
The forest extends across a tract of country underlain by sedimentary rocks of Jurassic age, a part of the great Jurassic escarpment stretching from the Cotswolds to the southwest through the East Midlands to the Humber via Lincoln Edge. Largely a mix of mudstone and limestone layers dipping gently eastwards, the sequence is this (in stratigraphic order i.e. youngest/uppermost at top):

 * Ancholme Group
 * Oxford Clay Formation
 * Great Oolite Group
 * Cornbrash Formation
 * Blisworth Clay Formation
 * Blisworth Limestone Formation
 * Rutland Formation
 * Inferior Oolite Group
 * Lincolnshire Limestone Formation
 * Grantham Formation
 * Northampton Sand Formation

The plateau is largely covered by glacial till of a stony, clayey nature. Exploitation of the ironstone within the Northampton Sands was the basis for the once-important iron and steel industry in Corby on the western edge of the forest.

Management
Areas managed by the Forestry Commission include:

 * Southey Wood, Peterborough
 * Wakerley Great Wood
 * Bedford Purlieus National Nature Reserve
 * Fineshade Wood
 * Fermyn Woods

It is famous for its population of red kites which now number 300.

Chequered skipper reintroduction
In the spring of 2018 chequered skipper butterflies (Carterocephalus palaemon) from Belgium were released at a secret site as part of the Back from the Brink (BftB) project. A further release of butterflies from Belgium will take place in the spring of 2019, to supplement the newly emerged offspring of last years release. Invasive scrub has been removed from more than 8 km of woodland rides by Butterfly Conservation and their partners, and if the reintroduction is successful they will be the first native-born chequered skippers to emerge in England in more than 40 years.

User talk:NSM88

Hi and welcome to wikipedia. A couple of pointers. Please don't replace holocaust with alledged holocaust. The evidence for it to have happened is overwhelming. Since you appear to have strong feelings on this matter I would advise you not to edit related articles. We have many policies for keeping articles neutral. Please spend some time reading wikipedia's policies before editing contraversially. Cheers. Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 10:27, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You might find our welcome page a good place to start. Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 10:31, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hi NSM88, I've noticed that you are making some strongly opinionated edits to pages. You may wish to look at the Neutral Point of View policy before making any more changes. NPOV is an absolute requirement in Wikipedia. In fact, it is considered "absolute and non-negotiable" by Wikipedia's founder. Thanks, silsor 10:42, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

I've blocked you for being a hateful individual. - Ta bu shi da yu 11:21, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You are now only blocked for 48 hours. Don't thank me though. If I had my way, none of you people would be posting on here. But I'll be watching you. - Ta bu shi da yu 12:06, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * This is not the behavior I'd wish to see from anybody with responsibilities over other users. Has this user said anything hateful?  Has he used any slurs, has he commited any crimes?  It doesn't matter, frankly, as this was not the reason as to why he was banned. He was banned from a 'free' encyclopedia for having political views that are disagreeable. I think you should take a break from your wikipedia duties, as it seems you have trouble upholding NPOV doctrine.  I've seen enough 'hate' in my day to know that racists aren't the only ones to be hateful.--Iconoclast 00:04, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Sure he has. His political views are extremely hateful. He openly proclaimed that he was a white supremecist (though under the guise of "White liberation"). If you don't like what I did, tough. I've been open about what I've done, but I don't expect you to understand. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:19, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You have been unblocked now. However as the image of you in a nazi uniform has upset a number of people i have deleted the image in question. I too am watching your edits closely and will not hesistate to block you should you try to stir up trouble or edit in a POV way. Theresa Knott (The snott rake) 12:10, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

ok, Walter. Your NPOV edits will be welcome. And "alleged holocaust" is not what we mean by NPOV: that phrase will never be online for more than two minutes, so don't bother. I was going to complain about the image which I consider disruption as per Blocking policy, but seeing Theresa has removed it already let me just say I hope you won't upload more like them. Please try and edit a few uncontroversial edits first to get a feel how the community works, before embarking on more delicate topics. dab (ᛏ) 12:21, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 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 DELETE. dbenbenn | talk 19:33, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Equiveillance and Equalveillance
Neologism, only found in 49 hits on Google. Personal research in sociology. Unclear meaning. David.Monniaux 10:27, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Rama 10:37, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Sousveillance (also up for VfD - see above) -- RWH 11:50, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
 * So you vote to merge these with Sousveillance, and vote to delete Sousveillance. I see.  Subtle.  ☺ Uncle G 13:58, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
 * As per the edit history comments for Equiveillance, Speedy Delete (under criterion #2 or criterion #10) Equiveillance as a pointless fork, from an acknowledged typo, of Equalveillance. Vote pending on Equalveillance. Uncle G 12:40, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
 * Keep- quite notable --219.78.112.150 14:00, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: neologism, original research. I thought at first this was Steve Mann (User:Glogger) again but it turns out it's one of his associates -- try Googling for Stefanos "Steve Mann". Stefanos seems to have the same promotional instincts as Steve, although to his credit, it's not self-promotion. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:35, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to inverse surveillance. Seems like the terminology may be worth a note in an existing article to me. HyperZonk 17:40, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Dr. Pantagis appears to have written a good article, and also equiveillance is growing in usage.  For example, we have an upcoming conference on this topic, and I believe that equiveillance (the equilibrium/balance between sur- and sous-veillance) is of growing interest to many researchers who are building upon this concept.  A number of printed publications, proceedings, and the like, make reference to equiveillance, so I hope that we can keep this article, as distinct from either surveillance or sousveillance.  Also, it is preferable to have one word, rather than a two-word solution like inverse surveillance that is harder to search on, and not used as much in the published literature (and means something quite different than equiveillance).  Glogger 17:42, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, original research, not-so-subtle promotion. Side comment: This article is badly written, contains ugly neologisms and once one digs past all the latin, contains little helpful material. Wyss 17:56, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirects to Inverse surveillance, as per my Sousveillance vote. Megan1967 01:07, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless it gets some serious rewriting. Kukuman 03:54, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Unlike sousveillance, this is only getting 22 non-duplicative Google hits (and many of them appear to be Wikipedia-derivative). Delete as a neologism.  Rossami (talk) 05:02, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * let me finish my edits, but due to patient load, it is difficult to get to all the corrections by the five day deadline: i strongly believe there are many concepts that define our modern world that can be represented in an image, or a word, or a cluster of words called a poem. My attempt here is not self promotional; it touches upon the worry of a concerned citizen as I watch many persons slowly become compassionateless to the elderly. Equiveillance is an important concept to many persons, and perhaps to those voting for delete. I hope to express this notion with the rewrites I have begun, opening my series of thoughts phenomenologically as a wikified glog. A detached humanity that does not see the importance of tribal dynamics, falls into the fragmentation of feeling that becomes a cold detachement that leads to human evil. We watch as humans to cooperate and protect. many are weak and exposed to the one way surveillance of imprisoned emotion, locked into the lost of cruel abandonment.

I will need more time before the final verdict, I thank you for your understanding.

Simon Slåttvik

Simon Kaurin Slåttvik (24 July 1917 – 7 May 2001) was a Norwegian skier. He competed at the 1952 Winter Olympics in the Nordic combined and 18 km cross-country skiing and won the gold medal in the former event. Earlier he won a Nordic combined bronze medal at the 1950 World Championships. He won 14 Norwegian titles and was the first Nordic combined athlete to jump over 100 m. Slåttvik won the Nordic combined event at the Holmenkollen ski festival in 1948, 1950 and 1951, and was awarded the Holmenkollen medal in 1951.

Slåttvik started competing in Nordic events aged 15. His career was delayed by World War II and peaked around 1950, when he was already in his thirties. After the 1952 Olympics he won a national title in 1953, placed fifth at the 1954 World Championships, and remained active through the late 1950s. Slåttvik was known for his relatively mild training regime, and would often smoke after a race. In the early 1950s he moved to Lillehammer, married and had two sons. He named one of them Heikki after his Finnish friend and long-term rival Heikki Hasu.

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music

This page of the Manual of Style (MoS) for music-related articles and writing about music encourages editors to follow consistent usage and formatting. Other MoS subpages are linked in the menu to the right. If the MoS does not specify a preferred usage, please discuss the issue on the talk page.

Music articles vary in their intended readership: some articles are written for the widest audience of general readers; others, especially those on technical subjects (e.g., Metric modulation), are for readers with specialized knowledge. Whenever possible, aim for a broad readership.

Accidentals
When marking up musical accidentals, either use their designated Unicode characters, or spell their names out. Do not use common substitutes, such as b in place of ♭. The template is recommended for this purpose. For example, produces ♮, and  and  produce 𝄪 and 𝄫. may be used to notate half-sharps, and either or  may be used for half-flats. To maximize compatibility, the template currently uses SVG instead of the designated codepoints when displaying these less common characters. Examples:

 * Key signature:
 * Right: E-flat major
 * Right: E♭ major
 * Wrong: Eb major
 * D major triad:
 * Right: D, F♯, A
 * Right: D, F-sharp, A
 * Wrong: D, F#, A
 * D♯ major triad:
 * Right: D♯—F𝄪—A♯
 * Right: D-sharp—F-double-sharp—A-sharp
 * Wrong: D#—FX—A#
 * Wrong: D#—Fx—A#
 * Wrong: D#—F##—A#
 * Wrong: D♯—F♯♯—A♯

Capitalization

 * Standard English-language text formatting and capitalization rules apply to the names of bands and individual artists.
 * For titles of works and releases, descriptive phrases in parentheses or after dashes, such as "remix", "acoustic version" and "remastered", should not be considered part of song titles and should not be capitalized.
 * The first letter in the first and last words in English-language titles of works and releases is capitalized. The first letter in the other words should also be capitalized, except in words that are short coordinating conjunctions, prepositions, and articles ("short" meaning those with fewer than five letters), as well as the word to in infinitives (although if the artist has chosen to capitalize short conjunctions, prepositions, etc. then the article title may follow the artist's choice). For more details (including subtitles, hyphenation, incipits, etc.) . Exceptions are made to mimic logo/cover stylization, even if such mimicry is common in the music press.
 * The vast majority of music genres are not proper nouns, and thus should not be capitalized.
 * Use lowercase, not capitals, for instruments (piano, guitar, vocals, etc.) in personnel lists.

Chords, progressions, and figured bass
Conventional chords are indicated through the use of upper and lowercase Roman numerals, or letters with a key signature provided, indicating root and quality, separated by en dash (, renders as "–") without spaces on either side. For example:
 * ii–V–I
 * in C: d–G–C

Arabic numerals (Nashville notation) and letters (diatonic function) indicating function should be avoided:
 * 2–5–1
 * Sp–D–T

When part of a chord progression, chords should be spaced equally if they take an equal portion of the progression's duration. Vertical lines may indicate bar divisions: or, in C:
 * iii7–VI7
 * e7–A7

Rather than lowercase letters to indicate minor, uppercase letters followed by a lowercase "m" may be used:
 * in C: Dm–G–C

The degree symbol, "°", indicates a diminished chord. It can be copied and pasted or inserted from the menus above or below Wikipedia edit boxes on desktop web browsers. It can also be produced by typing, or (on Windows PCs) Alt+0176 on the numeric pad / (Mac) Option+Shift+8. A superscript lower case "o" may be used instead. The dedicated symbol for a half-diminished chord may not display correctly for all readers, so a "ø" can be superscripted instead—it can be produced by typing , Alt+0248 (Windows), or Option+o (Mac). For both of these there is an application of the template:  becomes  and  becomes  (e.g. C and C).

Superscript and subscript may be combined, as in figured bass, in math markup,  renders as $\mathrm C_4^6$, or   renders as. {{crossref|{see: Help:Displaying a formula or m:Help:Displaying a formula; also: Template:SubSup)}}.  also allows this functionality.

To markup notation for chord qualities and inversions, write:

which renders as:
 * vii, I

If a chord has multiple extensions, they may all be written in superscript, with extentions after the first written in brackets and separated by slashes. For instance, A7 sus4 add9 would be written:
 * A7(sus4/add9)

Classical music titles
Generic titles are not specific to one musical work. These titles typically take the name of a musical form such as concerto, overture, quartet, sonata, suite, symphony, etc. Titles of liturgical works (such as agnus dei, kyrie, mass, requiem, etc.) are considered generic titles. Generic titles should not be italicized.
 * Piano Concerto No. 5
 * Sixth Symphony
 * Requiem

True titles are specific to a single work. These are titles given by the composer, much as an author titles a novel. True titles are always italicized:
 * From me flows what you call time
 * Pelléas et Mélisande

When true titles are mixed with generic titles, as is often the case in overtures and suites, only the true title is italicized. The generic portion of the title is not italicized and should always be in English even if the true portion of the title is in a foreign language.

 * Overture to The Bartered Bride
 * L'Arlésienne Suite No. 1

There are a few rare instances where a work has what appears to be a generic title but is actually a true title. Generally, if a symphony is referred to by name and not also numbered, the title is actually a true title given by the composer. These should be in italics as well.

 * Symphonie fantastique
 * Copland's Dance Symphony
 * Beethoven's Battle Symphony

Often, works with a generic title and / or a true title are also known by a common title or nickname. Avoid using the common title with the true title. Acceptable methods for specifying the nickname after the generic title are:
 * 1) in parentheses: Symphony No. 9 (New World Symphony)
 * 2) quoted in parentheses: Symphony No. 9 ("New World" Symphony)
 * 3) italics in parentheses: Symphony No. 9 (New World Symphony)
 * 4) quoted set off by a comma: Symphony No. 9, "New World" Symphony
 * 5) italics set off by a comma: Symphony No. 9, New World Symphony

When referring to a work by nickname alone:
 * 1) quoted: "New World" Symphony
 * 2) italicized: New World Symphony
 * 3) unadorned: New World Symphony

Note that the generic portion of the common name or nickname—"Symphony", in this case—is not italicized.

Any of these methods may be used; however, usage should be consistent within an article.

Song titles are enclosed in quotes. True titles of song cycles are italicized. Foreign-language song titles are not italicized.

 * "Wenn ich in deine Augen seh from Dichterliebe—note that the trailing apostrophe and the ending quote are handled using the template, to insert some spacing between the characters without using an unsemantic space character:

Generic movement titles (such as tempo markings or terms like minuet and trio) are capitalized with a single initial capital—that is, only the first word is capitalized—and are not italicized. Often, movements are described by multiple tempo markings. In this case, the tempo markings should be separated by en dashes set off by spaces (consider using the template), and the first letter of each tempo marking should be capitalized. True movement titles are enclosed in quotation marks. Once again, foreign language terms are not italicized.

 * Un poco sostenuto –Allegro from Brahms's First Symphony
 * "Von der Wissenschaft" from Also sprach Zarathustra
 * Kyrie from Mozart's Requiem

The formal title of a work from the classical repertoire includes its genre or performing force, key, and index number. For modern works, the key or index number may not exist, but the genre or performing force should always be specified. There is no requirement to use formal titles on Wikipedia. However, in an article about a single composition of classical music, all the information one would get from a formal title should be included in the lead. Often, using the formal title to introduce the work is the most elegant way to convey this information.

Opus, work, and measure numbers
Opus and work numbers are used to identify specific compositions within the catalogue of specific composers. Measure numbers are used to identify specific parts of compositions. If used on Wikipedia the terms should not be italicized and not capitalized. If the number specifies a particular work (is used restrictively rather than simply providing additional information) it should not be set off by commas (thus measure numbers should be set off by commas since they provide additional information about a work). The following three examples all convey the same information:
 * ...the Piano Sonata No. 5, measures 1–4, by Mozart features...
 * ...Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 5 in G major, K. 283, measures 1–4, features...
 * ...measures one through four of Mozart's Piano Sonata in G major, K. 283, feature...

The en dash rather than the hyphen must be used for ranges of numbers (measures 1–4 rather than measures 1-4). While "Op." may remain unlinked, specific catalogue designations should be linked: "BWV 1079".

Abbreviations
Some abbreviations are always used in music articles. These forms are standard:

 * Op.<non-breaking space><number> for opus (Op. 31)
 * No.<non-breaking space><number> for number (Op. 31, No. 2)
 * Opp.<non-breaking space><numbers separated by commas and spaces> for the plural of Opus (Opp. 51, 82, and 93)
 * Op. posth.<non-breaking space>, or Op. posth.<non-breaking space><number> for opus posthumous

Use a non-breaking space ( or  between the abbreviation and number, instead of a regular space.

Note: ♭, ♯ and ♮ signs should not be used in article titles or headings; use the word equivalents (flat, sharp, natural, respectively).

Discographies

 * 1) Pages on artists, groups or works should have recording and discography sections as appropriate. These should be subdivided into albums and singles, audio and video recordings, or other simple systems as required.
 * 2) If the discography of an artist, group, or work becomes disproportionately large in relation to the rest of the article, it should be split into a subpage list (preferably titled " discography").
 * 3) Do not use album, record or DVD covers in discographies, as this is an unnecessary use of images and is not compatible with Wikipedia's fair use policy.
 * 4) The discography section typically only contains studio albums. Live albums, compilation albums etc. are always included in the discography subpage for the particular band or artist. However, significant non-studio albums can be included on the artist's main page with consensus from other editors.

Equivalent terms in different varieties of English
An article in Wikipedia should use one national variety of English consistently. This principle applies to music terminology: use musical terms from the variety of English in which the article is written. Consider showing alternative terms from other English varieties in parentheses on their first appearance. Example: "The first crotchet (quarter note) in the bar is loudest." See Manual of Style: National varieties of English.

Images and notation

 * 1) On Wikipedia, it is preferable to use free images whenever possible. Fair-use images are acceptable only in certain, well-defined circumstances. Copyrighted images, such as album covers, can only be used in an article if an appropriate fair use rationale – that is specific to that article – appears on the image page.
 * 2) The Non-free album cover template establishes fair use only in an article about the album in question.
 * 3) Fair-use images cannot be used purely for decoration.
 * 4) Fair-use images cannot be used in discography sections.
 * 5) Fair-use images should be used sparingly. Each image must contribute specifically, uniquely, and irreplaceably to the article.
 * 6) Images should be laid out in an unobtrusive manner.
 * 7) Start the article with a right-aligned image.
 * 8) When using multiple images in the same section of an article, they should be staggered right-and-left (Example: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band).
 * 9) Avoid sandwiching text between two images facing each other.
 * 10) Music-related images on Wikipedia include icons, examples, and illustrations. Icons include File:Musical note nicu bucule 01.svg Musical note nicu bucule 01.svg as displayed on Portal:Music. Small images giving examples should be displayed in text, without framing. For example, an image accompanying the mention of "bass clef" in a different article is displayed well this way. Medium images giving examples should be displayed in thumbnails to the right (or stagger right and left if frequent). For example, most images of chords should be displayed this way, while their motivic elaborations should be displayed as illustrations. Large images giving segments of music or depicting features of music should be displayed in thumbnails on the left or center of the page at for visibility. For example, most melodies and scales should be displayed this way, while chords and simultaneities should be displayed to the right as small as reasonably visible. Images of chords should generally not include octave repetitions. Images of scales must include the repetition of the octave to indicate octave equivalency. Sections of music should follow Uploading images including the use of File copyright tags and copyrights. See also: No original research. Images and the display of musical notation should follow the following guidelines:
 * 11) Graphics of musical examples should be large enough to be legible but not so large that they overwhelm the text of an article. They also should not contain inordinate space between the notes.
 * 12) When creating a graphic in a musical notation program, keep the score as large as possible (through the layout or display setting in your notation program). If your example is short (three measures or less), you may increase its size on the page decrease the page margins. That way, the example will be as large as possible, but will not contain large spaces between the notes. Example of large image size with little space between notes: D'Indy Tristan chord IV6-V small.PNG
 * 13) Save the file in the SVG format, which is supported by most music notation programs. The score can then subsequently be cropped in vector graphics editors like Inkscape (note that objects may have to be converted to paths to display correctly on the web). If SVG export is not possible, PNG is preferred, to preserve transparency. Trim the image so that it only contains the example (no blank space or large margins) and upload it to Wikipedia, or to Wikimedia Commons if appropriate.
 * 14) When you display that image in an article, then you specify the desired size between pipes ( symbols) as follows:  . Images larger than 600 pixels may not be conveniently displayed on mobile devices.
 * 15) Use Commons to link to images on Commons wherever possible.
 * 16) Use an informative and concise caption and alternative text for each image.
 * 17) The sharp (♯) and flat (♭) signs are and, respectively. A natural (♮) can be entered with . As noted above, these symbols should not be used in headings or articles titles.
 * 18) Superscript and subscript may be combined, as in figured bass, in math markup:  = $$C_6^4$$. See TeX markup and m:Help:Formula.
 * 19) A superscript circle (degree sign), which indicates a diminished chord, can be produced with or . A superscript lower case "o"  may be used instead. The slashed o, "ø", which may not display correctly for all readers, is produced by  or.
 * 20) For inversions and the degree sign, superscript and subscript may be done thus:,  . This looks like: viio, I6.

Italian music terms
Many musical terms that are commonly used in English are Italian in origin. These terms should not be italicized. For example:
 * attacca
 * aria

However, bear in mind that not all readers will understand the terms. If in doubt, provide a hyperlink to Italian musical terms used in English. For example:
 * The second section is marked as Adagio

There is no hard rule on plurals of Italian terms being anglicized.
 * cellos or celli
 * concertos or concerti
 * tempos or tempi

However, use a consistent scheme within a single article.

Lists

 * 1) Short lists (of compositions, recordings, etc.) may be useful in biographies and articles about works of music; however, when they become disproportionately long in relation to the main article, they should be split into dedicated subpages.
 * 2) Music genre articles should not contain lists of performers. A separate list page may be created.
 * 3) Lists should not generally include musicians who do not have an article.

Lyrics

 * 1) Copyrighted lyrics can only be used under the WP:Non-free content provision. Thus, they should only be used to illustrate specific points that are documented by relevant sources.
 * 2) Lists of quotes from songs or other compositions or recordings are inappropriate, as are any sections consisting entirely or primarily of quotes.
 * 3) Uncopyrighted lyrics can be used freely. However, they should be incorporated into an article only to illustrate specific points, and documented by relevant sources.

Major and minor
Treat "major" and "minor" as regular words; i.e., the first letter should be lowercase, unless it starts a sentence. Abbreviated key signatures and chord spellings (such as "Cm" and "B♭M", or "c" and "B♭") should be avoided in prose.

In prose, rather than analysis, always use the capital letter, adding the words major or minor if necessary, for example, "the piece is in D minor" or "the B major concerto".

Names (definite article)
When the word the is sometimes or consistently used at the beginning of a band's name, a redirect (or disambiguation) should be created with the alternative name (with or without "the").

Mid-sentence, per the MoS main page, the word the should in general not be capitalized in continuous prose, e.g.:
 * Wings featured Paul McCartney from the Beatles and Denny Laine from the Moody Blues.

Similarly, for duos and individual musicians, a leading the is not capitalized mid-sentence in a nickname, pseudonym, stage name or other alias. Exceptions include grammatical articles from foreign languages, and stylized forms such as thee, tha and da. Examples:
 * Guitarist the Edge also sings and plays keyboards for U2.
 * Tito El Bambino's album It's My Time contains one song produced by the Neptunes.
 * Megan Thee Stallion makes a featured appearance on Chance the Rapper's 2019 debut album.
 * Snoop Dogg collaborated frequently with labelmates Tha Dogg Pound.

However, the, a, or an should be capitalized mid-sentence when it begins the title (or subtitle) of an album or other artwork: For more detail on titles of compositions, albums, and other works,.
 * The double album The Beatles is commonly known as the White Album.
 * She released a cover version of "A Brand New Day" from The Wiz.

Drop the where it is awkward, as when the band name is used as a modifier:
 * a Moody Blues song
 * several Beatles albums

Names (foreign language)
For classical music, the letters, accents and diacritics in the original language should be preserved when referring to works by their original language title (provided that language uses the Latin alphabet), e.g. Schöpfungsmesse not Schopfungsmesse nor Schoepfungsmesse, Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune not Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune. For non-classical foreign-language recordings, usage of capitalization found in English-language reliable sources is recommended, but when such sources use different capitalizations there is some leaning towards the capitalization rules valid for the language of the creator.

The names of works, and other terms, should be marked up with the lang template, using the appropriate two-letter language code. For example, to link to the article for the work "Deutschlandlied", use, which will appear as "Deutschlandlied".

Names of organizations and institutions
Names of organizations and institutions (e.g. orchestras, musical ensembles and groups, concert halls, festivals, schools, etc.) should follow official usage (i.e. the spelling, punctuation, etc. used by the organization's own publications). In the case of non-English names, we use official English versions if and when they have been established by the organization itself. If not, we use the native name. Original English names, translated from other languages, should not be created.

Nationality (biographies)
The nationality of composers, historical singers, etc. has sometimes been controversial. Here are three guidelines:

 * 1) Nationality should refer to national identity; in other words, to the national group with which the person identified, not the state of which the person was a citizen or subject.
 * 2) Nationality should not be anachronistic or retrospective; i.e., for historical figures, it should be defined by the borders and states contemporary with the figure, not by those of the present day.
 * 3) Nationality should be inclusive: if there is any doubt about the nationality of an individual, use a double designation (e.g. Anglo-German) both in the introduction and in the categories.

Popular music
In popular music, album, mixtape and EP titles should be italicized and song and single titles should be in quotes: "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles was included on their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The names of concert tours are not formatted beyond ordinary capitalization.

Per the overall MOS guidance to use logical quotation, punctuation should be placed outside the quotation marks (title formatting) of songs: Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited album includes the songs "Like a Rolling Stone", "Ballad of a Thin Man", and "Desolation Row". Of course, if the song title itself contains punctuation, it goes inside: "Help!" by the Beatles was featured in both a film and an album.

For titles of works and releases, purely descriptive phrases in parentheses or after dashes, such as "remix", "acoustic version" and "remastered", should not be considered part of song titles and should be placed outside quotation marks. Particularly in prose, consider re-ordering these phrases to improve the sentence flow: the remix of "Despacito", rather than "Despacito" (remix).

Avoid referring to an artist's second album or single as "sophomore", as this term is not widely understood outside of the United States.

Stringed instrument tunings

 * For details, examples, and rationale, see Manual of Style/Stringed instrument tunings

In articles on stringed instruments and related topics, information on the tuning of the strings is very often included. The formatting of this information needs careful thought as the conventions used by major critics, encyclopedias, and journals are not consistent with each other on all points.

When describing the tuning of a stringed instrument:

 * Always list the closest (normally bass) string first, so that the standard guitar-tuning is E–A–D–G–B–E.
 * Always number the furthest (normally treble) string as "one," so that the second string of a standard guitar-tuning is the B string.
 * In other matters, be consistent within the article.

Tables
Tables are appropriate for lists with three or more fields. Sortable tables are appropriate for longer lists that may be reordered according to title, genre, date, place, etc. Sorting should always ignore definite and indefinite articles, so sorting tags will usually be required.

Track listing
It is not a standard practice to include track listings as a separate section in song articles when the song was released as a single with an A-side and B-side.

Types of music articles
Types of music articles include biographical articles about musicians; articles about compositions, songs, or albums; and informative or documentary articles about theory or practice.

For example, articles about musical intervals on Wikipedia currently feature an interval infobox on the top right, listing information such as name and size, followed by a picture of music notation of the interval on C. These articles conclude with the interval template listing other intervals. Most articles describe the names, ratios, cents, and uses in fairly standard order, and if not, it would be preferable that they do so.

Usage
Some musical terms have multiple possible meanings. Unless a different meaning is obvious from the context (e.g., in a quote), use the same terminology as Wikipedia titles. The use of titles within articles should follow the same conventions as for titles. see Naming conventions and Manual of Style (headings).
 * 1) Popular music is a broad category usually used in contrast to classical music or folk music; it need not be particularly popular. Pop music is mainstream, commercial, chart-topping music.
 * 2) Usage of the expression classical music is context-dependent:
 * 3) * Without context (as in the Classical music article title), it is usually understood as a broad term for mainstream Western tradition art music dating from the Medieval period onwards. Modern classical can be used to refer to such music from the Modernist era onwards (which originated around the fin de siècle of the 19th century), but this music is far from always understood as included in classical music.
 * 4) * In the Western tradition, the term classical music did not exist before about 1836, when it was used to refer to the music of the Classical era (of roughly 1750–1820). Avoid ambiguity by adding context, or by using a more precise expression (e.g.: music of the Classical era) when referring to this type of music. This music is different from Baroque music, of the preceding era, and Romantic music, of the subsequent era – these are however rough distinctions, without the delineations being always very clear, e.g. galant music belongs to both the end of the Baroque era, and the early stages of the Classical era.
 * 5) * Many cultures have a period or style of music that for various reasons is termed classical, e.g. Indian classical music. When writing about the variant of the Western tradition, it can be phrased as Western classical music (the link is a redirect to the Classical music article) to avoid ambiguity.
 * 6) Folk music is orally transmitted and generally informal and non-commercial. Traditional music and roots music are assumed synonyms. Music such as that of Bob Dylan should be described as and linked to something more specific, such as roots revival.
 * 7) Hip hop music is a music genre. The act of rapping is performed by rappers. When referring to a genre, "hip hop" should be used, except in circumstances such as "gangsta rap". The word hip hop is, like most music genres, not capitalized; it is also not hyphenated.

Nikos Beloyannis

Nikos Beloyannis (Νίκος Μπελογιάννης; 1915 – 30 March 1952) was a Greek resistance leader and leading cadre of the Greek Communist Party.

Biography
Beloyannis was born in Amaliada (Peloponnese, Greece) in 1915. He came from a relatively prosperous family and went on to study law in Athens, but before being able to graduate, he was arrested and jailed in the Akronauplia prison (Nauplion) by the Ioannis Metaxas regime in the 1930s and transferred to the Germans after the Axis occupation of Greece (1941). He escaped in 1943 and joined the Greek People's Liberation Army (ELAS) in Peloponnese on the side of Aris Velouchiotis. After becoming Political Commissioner of the Democratic Army of Greece (DSE) during the Greek Civil War, he was one of the last to leave the country (1949) after its defeat.

In June 1950, Beloyannis returned to Greece in order to re-establish the Athens organization of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) that had been declared illegal. He was arrested on 20 December 1950 and was taken before a court-martial on charges of violating Compulsory Law 509/1947, which criminalized KKE. He was accused of treason, allegedly having transmitted information to the Soviet Union. The Beloyannis trial started in Athens on 19 October 1951. In total, 94 people were accused. One of the three members of the court-martial was Georgios Papadopoulos who later (1967) became the leader of the military dictatorship of 1967-1974. Beloyannis denied all accusations and stressed the patriotic nature of his actions during the anti-Nazi resistance (1941—1944), the British intervention (1944–1946) and the Greek Civil War (1946–1949). He became globally known as the "Man with the Carnation" and as such, he was depicted in a famous Pablo Picasso sketch. Beloyannis made an impassioned defense of the achievements of the resistance and exposed the fact that in the postwar years people who had fought the Nazis were persecuted for their left-wing views, while Nazi collaborators were rewarded with posts in the Greek government due to the Cold War atmosphere.

Despite national and international appeals for clemency, between 15–16 November, the court-martial sentenced Beloyannis and eleven of his comrades to death. On 1 March 1952, Beloyannis and seven others were sentenced to death. Within a week, the Greek government received from all over the world hundreds of thousands telegrams against the death sentence, while an international campaign -- with the participation of personalities like Picasso, Charlie Chaplin, Jean Paul Sartre, Paul Éluard, Nazim Hikmet and others -- asked for the cancellation of the military tribune's verdict. Four prisoners were taken from Kallithea on the early morning of Sunday, 30 March 1952, and executed in the Goudi camp. The sentences of the other co-defendants of Beloyannis were commuted to life imprisonment, and by the mid-1960s, all were released from prison.

Beloyannis was the one of the most prominent of the Greeks who collaborated with the Soviet Union after World War II. His name was given to the village of Beloiannisz, Hungary, which housed Greek left-wind refugees who fled Greece at the end of the civil war (1949) until they were allowed to return to Greece by the first Andreas Papandreou government in the early 1980s.

Writings
In his last letter, written from death-row, Beloyannis mentions two books that he appears to have written on the economic development of Greece and the country's history of literature. The manuscripts of the former were published in 2010 under the title Foreign Capital in Greece (Το Ξένο Κεφάλαιο στην Ελλάδα, To Kseno Kefaleo stin Ellada). Through the detailed analysis of Greece's external borrowing, its history is presented as one of subjection to foreign powers and financial institutions who ended up controlling most of its economy and resources to the dismay of the working class.

Cultural references

 * Pablo Picasso created a sketch named The Man with the Carnation honouring Beloyannis, inspired by a portrait of him.

Whittlewood Forest

Whittlewood Forest is a former medieval hunting forest east of Silverstone in Northamptonshire in England. It is managed by the Forestry England. There are tracts of ancient woodland within it and old ditches can be found at the edges of several individual woods. The area has been the subject of extensive academic historical research. An area of 400 ha in seven different patches has been designated a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which is about half the size of an average English parish. It is a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade 2.

Extent
The forest is mainly between the villages of Silverstone, Syresham, Abthorpe, Wicken, Potterspury and to the high Buckinghamshire boundary. Interconnecting woods, made up in part by Hazelborough Wood, make up the main section. Isolated woods such as Bucknell Wood and a scattered set east of the village of Whittlebury, as far as Potterspury make up most of the rest. Remnants exist all around the villages and over the county boundary into Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes; such outliers include Whistley Wood, west of Syresham.

Management
It is managed by the Forestry Commission, who also manage neighbouring woods such as Salcey Forest and Yardley Chase. Parts of the wood are protected as an SSSI, especially a number of separate copses which represent the remnants of the old semi-Royal Forest in the Honour of Grafton.

Ecology
It is notable for bluebells in mid-Spring in many parts of the forest together with other ancient woodland indicator species such as Yellow rattle and the Lesser celandine. There are stands of beech and oak interspersed with hazel coppice as well as conifer plantations within the forest. The conifer plantations are slowly being removed as a part of a national policy to restore ancient woodland. They will be replaced with native hardwoods such as oak and beech. As with most ancient woods, coppicing is no longer practised, and many former coppice stools can be seen in the woods.

Three types of deer are in the forest: red, roe and muntjac. Foxes and badgers are common. Birds include buzzards and there are occasional sightings of the red kite, possibly from the expanding population in the Chilterns.

The SSSI is ancient semi-natural woodlands with many trees which are mature or over-mature, especially pedunculate oaks. There are also many ash trees and a scattering of silver birches and aspens. The oaks have nationally rare and nationally uncommon beetles, and there are locally rare lichens.

Access
Some areas are open to the public, and footpaths go through others such as Say's Copse, but some are private land.

Talk:Chaghataite khanate

Chaghatai or Chagatai or Jagatai was a son of Jenghiz or Genhiz or Jinghiz Khan. To call his ulus or empire the Chaghatai or the Chagatai Khanate is like calling Jenghiz Khan's conquests the "Jenghiz Empire". "Ogodite" is commonly used as adjective for Ogodei, another son of Jenghiz. "Jinghizids" or "Jenghizids" is also used for the descendants of Jenghiz, or for those who claimed descent from him. The adjective for Chaghatai can properly be "Chaghataite" or "Jaghataite". Hence, Chaghataite's empire can and perhaps should be called the "Chaghataite Khanate".

 * Normal English usage has the entity as the "Ulus Chaghatay" or the "Chaghatay Khanate". This is how they appear, for example, in BF Manz (1989) The Rise and Rule of Tamerlane, Cambridge University Press. Furthermore, this is the first time I have ever encountered "Chaghataite" in English as opposed to "Chaghatayid"--KASchmidt 03:02, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Article Duplication
It looks like these two articles: Chagatai Khanate and Chaghataite khanate are about the same person. I added the merger tags at the top and will add them to the Duplicate articles. Even though this article has more content the other is included in the and looks like the naming issue is addressed at the top so I indiacte that the articles should be merged that direction.

London bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics

London 2012 was the successful bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, held in London with most events taking place in Stratford in the borough of Newham. The British Olympic Association had been working on the bid since 1997, and presented its report to government ministers in December 2000.

Following three consecutive unsuccessful UK bids to host summer Olympic Games (Birmingham for 1992 and Manchester for 1996 and 2000), the decision was made to bid with London, given the clear indication that it was the only UK city that had a chance of being selected by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) when put up against other world cities in a competitive bidding process. On 6 July 2005 at its 117th Session in Singapore, the IOC awarded London the right to host the Games of the XXX Olympiad. The city beat the favourite Paris 54 to 50 on the fourth and final ballot. London is the first city to host the Games three times.

At the time of the bid, the budget projection was around £2 billion, but it was later estimated that the true cost would be around £9 billion. The project involved a major regeneration of the Stratford area of London, as well as improvements to surrounding services and associated venues. Public transport, an aspect of the proposal which scored poorly for the bid, saw numerous improvements, including to the London Underground and the new "Olympic Javelin" service.

The celebrations of the bid's success were partly silenced the day after the announcement when the 7 July 2005 London bombings killed 52 people and injured hundreds more. There was no confirmed link between the IOC decision and the attack, which also coincided with the G8 Summit in Scotland.

Following the success of the bid, the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) was established to oversee the ongoing development of the games. Some alterations were made after the bid was accepted, including the decision by the IOC to eliminate some sporting events, and a new layout for the Olympic Zone, both resulting in some relatively minor changes to the Olympic venues.

Sporting venues
The 2012 Olympics were planned to use a mixture of newly built venues, existing facilities, and temporary facilities, some of them in well known locations such as Hyde Park and Horse Guards Parade. In the wake of the problems that plagued the Millennium Dome, the intention was that there would be no white elephants after the games. Some of the new facilities would be reused in their Olympic form, while others would be reduced in size and several would be relocated elsewhere in the UK. The plans would contribute to the regeneration of Stratford in east London, which would be the site of the Olympic Park, and of the neighbouring Lower Lea Valley.

However, this required the compulsory purchase of some businesses and this caused controversy, with some of the business owners claiming that the compensation offered was inadequate. The purchased buildings were demolished to make way for Olympic venues and infrastructure improvements.

The majority of venues were divided into three zones within Greater London: the Olympic Zone, the River Zone and the Central Zone. Also some venues (such as those for sailing) were outside the boundaries of Greater London.

The IOC noted that future negotiations were necessary to ensure the use of the Old Trafford and Villa Park football stadiums. The need for compulsory purchase orders was also highlighted as a possible problem for the Olympic Park, but IOC did not expect this to cause any "undue delay to construction schedules".

At the time of the bid, 60% of the venues and facilities were in place. The remaining venues were proposed to be completed between 2007 and the start of the games. At time of the bid the following were the tentative completion dates for some of the remaining venues: Channel Tunnel/Stratford rail link (2007); Aquatics Centre and London Velopark (2008); East London line extension (2010); Olympic Stadium and Heathrow Terminal 5 final completion (2011).

Olympic Zone
The Olympic Zone encompasses all of the facilities within the 500-acre (2 km2) Olympic Park in Stratford. This park was developed on existing waste and industrial land, at grid reference, just seven minutes by Olympic Javelin train from central London. The park contains:
 * The Olympic Stadium, hosting the track and field athletics events as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.
 * The Aquatics Centre, hosting diving, swimming and synchronised swimming.
 * The Water Polo Arena, hosting water polo – the first Olympic venue dedicated to hosting the sport.
 * The London Velopark, including a 6,000-seat indoor velodrome for track cycling and a 6,000-seat outdoor BMX racing track.
 * The Riverbank Arena, with 15,000 and 5,000-seat arenas, hosting hockey.
 * Four indoor arenas (Olympic Park Arenas 1–4), hosting basketball (2), fencing (4), volleyball (1), handball (3), and the fencing and shooting disciplines of the modern pentathlon (2).
 * The London Olympic Village, with accommodation for all athletes and accredited officials (some 17,320 beds in total). After the games, the village was planned to become a district of the Stratford City development, a multi-billion-pound development project on the former railway goods yard to the east of the Olympic Park.
 * The Olympic Press and Broadcast Centres.
 * A tennis training centre.

River Zone
The River Zone featured five main venues in the Thames Gateway area straddling the River Thames:
 * The ExCeL Exhibition Centre, for boxing, fencing, judo, table tennis, taekwondo, weightlifting, and wrestling.
 * The Millennium Dome and Greenwich Arena, for badminton, basketball, and gymnastics.
 * Greenwich Park, for equestrianism.
 * The Royal Artillery Barracks, for shooting.

Central Zone
The Central Zone was formed out of all the remaining venues within Greater London. They are quite widely spread across central and west London:
 * The new Wembley Stadium for the football finals.
 * The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at Wimbledon for tennis.
 * Lord's Cricket Ground for archery.
 * Regent's Park for road bicycle racing. Baseball and softball were also due to be hosted in Regent's Park before it was announced in July 2005 that they would be dropped as Olympic events for the London games.
 * Horse Guards Parade for beach volleyball.
 * Hyde Park for the triathlon.

Outside Greater London
Three of the venues were just outside Greater London:
 * Weald Country Park, Essex for mountain biking
 * Broxbourne, Hertfordshire for canoe/kayak slalom
 * Dorney Lake, in Buckinghamshire, for rowing and canoe/kayak flatwater.

The Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, in Portland Harbour, Dorset, on the south coast of England, would be used for the sailing events. It is around 120 miles (192 km) from central London.

The earlier stages of the football competition were played at football stadia around the country including:
 * Hampden Park in Glasgow
 * Millennium Stadium in Cardiff
 * Old Trafford in Manchester
 * St James' Park in Newcastle
 * Ricoh Arena in Coventry
 * Windsor Park in Belfast

Olympic Village
The Olympic Village was located in Lower Lea Valley in east London. The area was then underdeveloped, and thus a well-suited place to construct the village. Because the Olympic Village is located within the Olympic Park, about 75 percent of athletes would be within 15 minutes of their venues; this compact design, according to double Olympic decathlon gold medallist Daley Thompson, would "make [the experience] so much more inspirating [sic] and real". When the games are over, the Village will be converted into new homes and facilities for the local community.

Australian construction company Lend Lease Corp Ltd was chosen to build the Olympic Village. The project cost £5.3 billion (A$13.2 billion) and was constructed in two phases. The first phase, which involves the development of 4,200 residential buildings and other accommodations for the village, began in 2008. When the 2012 Olympics are over, the second phase will involve the refurbishment of the Olympic village and construction on another 500000 m2 of space to complete the regeneration of Stratford City.

The Olympic Village's accommodations are the most spacious in Olympic history. Each athlete and official is guaranteed their own bed – over 17,000 beds in total. Each apartment was billed to include Internet access and wireless networking and other state-of-the-art technology.

Transport and infrastructure
Public transport, an aspect of the bid which scored poorly in the IOC's initial evaluation, was planned to see numerous improvements, including the expansion of the London Underground's East London Line, upgrades to the Docklands Light Railway and the North London Line, and the temporary "Olympic Javelin" service. The games were won without a commitment to deliver Crossrail by 2012. This was the largest transport project proposed for London, and it was widely assumed in the early stages of the bidding process that the games could not be won without a guarantee that it would be completed before the games.

The bid envisaged that 80% of athletes would be within 20 minutes of their events and 97% would be within 30 minutes of their events. It was estimated that 80% of spectators would arrive by rail. Together, all the planned heavy rail, light rail, and underground services (excluding Crossrail) were expected to deliver around 240 trains every hour.

Additionally, there were to be two major park and ride sites off the M25 within 25 minutes of the Olympic Park capable of holding 12,000 cars. For the most part, predictions showed that on event days, 78% of spectators were likely to travel from within London and only 22% from the rest of the UK and Europe. Organisers hoped to use low- or no-emission vehicles to transport Olympic athletes and officials.

Budget
As of the time of the bid, projections for the cost of the 2012 Olympics were low. The bid team believed that London could end the Games with a surplus of more than £100 million. The organising committee laid out the following figures:
 * £560 million for new venues, including £250 million for the Olympic Stadium.
 * £650 million for the Olympic village.
 * £1.5 billion to run the Games.
 * £200 million on security.

The revenue for the games was also projected:
 * £1.5 billion from a special Olympic National Lottery game.
 * £625 million from a council tax surcharge of £20 per year for London households.
 * £560 million from IOC television and marketing deals.
 * £450 million from sponsorship and official suppliers.
 * £300 million from ticket sales.
 * £250 million from the London Development Agency.
 * £60 million from licensing.

While this projection seemed reasonable, many were adamant about the actual costs. In early 2007, it was suggested that the actual cost of the games could exceed £9.35 billion (US$18.03 billion), well over the bid projection. For comparison, the 2004 games in Athens cost around £7 billion (US$13.5 billion) and estimates for the 2008 games in Beijing run between £10 billion and £20 billion (US$19 billion and US$39 billion).

Ticketing
Approximately 8.0 million tickets were proposed to be available for the Olympics, and 1.5 million tickets for the Paralympics. and the London Organising Committee planned on selling a total of 6.5 million (an 81% sellout) Olympic tickets, and a 63% sellout for Paralympic tickets. Olympic tickets go on sale on 15 March 2011 and should remain on sale until the start of the event, depending on availability. With the purchase of a ticket, each person is entitled to free transportation on London's public transport system for that day. Paralympic tickets go on sale on 9 September 2011.

Marketing Director David Magliano said that 1.5 million tickets would be sold for £15 (US$29). The average ticket price was set to be £40 (US$77) and 75% of all tickets would cost less than £50 (US$97), prices that Magliano says are reasonably accessible to almost everyone in Britain. In addition to stadium seats, there would be 20,000 £10 (US$19) tickets for the Olympic Park to watch events on big screens.

Political commitment
To facilitate the Olympics at a governmental level, Cabinet-level Minister for the Olympics Tessa Jowell was set to be responsible for the games. Also in the Cabinet would be an Olympic Security Committee to co-ordinate security planning. In addition, the government proposed to create the Olympic Delivery Authority, which would oversee the construction of venues and see that the games are lived out past 2012.

Other details

 * A tri-generation plant to supply electricity, heat and chilled water to the Olympic Park using technology which produces 33% lower CO2 emissions than from the electricity grid.
 * By 2012, it was estimated that over 135,000 hotel rooms would be available within 50 kilometres of the Olympic Park, up from 103,000 at the time of the bid. 40,330 rooms had been guaranteed at the time of the bid.
 * For the first time in any Games, live Olympic backdrop presentation facilities would be available to broadcast rights holders via rooftop studios on the main press centre with a direct view of the Olympic Stadium and Park.
 * The torch relay would highlight the "Olympic Truce" by passing through the countries of Nobel Peace Prize winners. Following criticism of the International Torch relay in advance of the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, this was re-designed to be a UK-wide 70-day, 8000-mile torch relay with a brief excursion to Dublin, Ireland.
 * The first chairman of the London Olympic Bid was airline executive Barbara Cassani. Charles Allen, Lord Coe and Alan Pascoe were appointed Vice Chairmen in September 2003. Cassani guided the group through the first submission to the IOC, but stepped down in May 2004 in favour of Lord Coe. Coe, himself an Olympic gold medal-winning athlete and former Conservative politician, enlisted the support of many current and former British Olympians, including Kelly Holmes, Steve Redgrave, and Daley Thompson.

Planned legacy of the Games
The organising committee paid special attention to the after effects of the games on London, and what they could do to make sure the games left a lasting impression on London and the world. The LOCOG planned out the uses of important stadiums and transportation systems after the games, as well as the social factors of the 2012 legacy.

One of the most prominent of the proposed legacy is the conversion of the Olympic Village into 3,600 apartments, most of which will be affordable housing. Most of Stratford City will be regenerated with the construction of 500,000 more square metres of space.

The committee outlined plans to donate the sports equipment used in the Games to sports clubs and charities in the United Kingdom.

Sports venues
One of the priorities governing the contents of London's bid was to avoid leaving "white elephants" after the games. To be sure that important venues and stadiums do not go to waste, the organising committee has planned what to do with them after the games. All venues that will not have a planned use after the games are over will be built as temporary venues.

The 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium will be converted into a 25,000-seat multi-purpose venue to be mainly used for athletics events. The Stadium should become the hub of east London activities when the games end.

The Aquatics Centre after the games will include two 50-metre pools, a 25-metre diving pool and a fitness centre. They will be able to accommodate elite, development, local club and community users. The venue will allow for 3,500 spectators and would host local, national, and worldwide swimming events.

To connect a variety of cycling and walking trails throughout the Lea Valley, the London Velopark will be transformed into a multi-discipline cycling centre. It will be extended further northwards, with the legacy road cycling circuit straddling the A12 and extending into the old Eton Manor site, where the mountain biking area will be located. The transformed stadium will consist of a 3,000-seat velodrome, road track, competition and play BMX tracks, and a mountain biking course for use by all levels of cyclists.

The Olympic Hockey Centre after the games will become a venue providing training and competition facilities for hockey at all levels. It will feature a 5,000 seat arena and a training pitch.

In addition, several of the indoor arenas would be assembled elsewhere in the UK. The construction of the Aquatics Centre and the Velopark was confirmed before London won the Games, so it might be more accurate to call them legacies of the bid rather than of the Games. While the legacy venues would be tailored to London's ongoing needs, some of them would be expensive for that purpose. For example, London will have paid for an 80,000-seat athletics stadium, but will only possess a 25,000-seat stadium.

Social and economic benefits
At the time of the bid, those involved in British sport were hopeful that there would also be a 2012 legacy of increased commitment to sport in the UK, with the social and health benefits they believe that could bring, but it will be difficult to assess whether or not this really happens. Some commentators have argued that it would be better to invest directly in grass roots sport.

Disability organisations including the Autism Awareness Campaign UK were confident that the Olympic and Paralympic Games would encourage people across the disability spectrum to take up sport.

Other legacy items would include the conversion of the Olympic Village Polyclinic into a lifelong learning centre for the east London community with a nursery and primary and secondary schools, and the conversion of the media and press centre into a creative industries centre for east London. The organisers claimed that 3,000 new permanent jobs would be created, but opponents of the games were concerned that some of the 11,000 existing jobs in the Olympic Zone may be lost. It was also hoped that there will be a wider economic effect from the improvements which the games might make to London's image.

Transport
The planned transport legacy for the capital included new bus transit schemes, extensions to existing Underground lines, redevelopments of London Underground stations and upgrades to the trains used. There were also to be many upgrades to National Rail services with the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, a new high-speed rail link, several new stations and upgrades to stations such as King's Cross St Pancras. Please view the Legacy Map to see the upgrades to the London Transport network in context.

Support
The Head of the IOC evaluation commission praised the passion behind the London 2012 bid when they visited Stratford and other places in the city. The IOC evaluation commission chair Nawal El Moutawakel speaking at a press conference in London observed: "We could feel it, hear it and see it." She added, "It was in every speech and every word."

2012 was seen as a window of opportunity as observers saw Europe as the destination for the Games. Four of the five finalist cities were from Europe.

Support for the bid topped 70% of the people of the United Kingdom and 68% of the people in London, as shown by an opinion poll commissioned by the IOC. Some of the support can be attributed to the city's "Back the Bid" campaign, which included the slogan on posters that were hung around London in the months leading up to the decision to award the 2012 Games to London. Many disability organisations including the Autism Awareness Campaign UK urged all people with disabilities to back the London 2012 bid.

On 17 June 2005, British Prime Minister Tony Blair reiterated the Government's total commitment to London's bid for the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. Mr Blair told BBC Five Live that he would be travelling to Singapore with the London delegation to stress the "complete 100% support" of politicians from all the major political parties in the country. "The most important thing is to show people that the Government is absolutely behind the bid", said Mr Blair, who travelled to the Far East before returning to chair the 31st G8 summit at Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, Scotland. The leaders of the opposition parties also attended the meeting and expressed their support of the venture.

Criticism
Many Londoners challenged the high cost of the Olympics and the £20 per year council tax rise to fund it as well as the possibility of white elephant sites like the Millennium Dome being left. Additionally there were concerns that unions, including the RMT, would strike near or during the proceedings for bonuses and that construction deadlines would not be met.

Outside of London the success was not universally welcomed, with fears that the event would divert funding from the rest of the country and that the rest of the United Kingdom would be forced to help fund it, for no benefit. Local business – some extant in this area for over 100 years – were questioning the package of measures in place to allow them to find new sites when the new Olympic village displaced them.

Comparison had been drawn between the Manchester bid and this one, in terms of the amount of government support, and the overwhelmingly hostile attitude of the London-based press to Manchester's bid. Furthermore the cost of travelling and accommodation would rise across London which many thought would outprice tourists and leave many events under-attended.

IOC evaluation report
The International Olympic Committee's evaluation report was generally very positive. It scored poorly on the transportation and public/government support aspects of the evaluation, but received a 10 in accommodations.

"London has proposed Games based on providing world-class facilities and services for the athletes, and a legacy for sport and the community. Whilst the Olympic Park would undoubtedly leave a strong sporting and environmental legacy for London, the magnitude of the project, including the planned upgrade and expansion of transport infrastructure, would require careful planning to ensure all facilities and rehabilitation projects were completed on time. Air quality in London at proposed Games-time is generally satisfactory. Increasing levels of ozone pollution are however a concern, but legislation and actions now in place are aimed at correcting that trend. With its rich history, the capacities of UK Paralympic Sport are among the best in the world. Athletes have been closely involved in the planning of the Olympic Village. The east side of the village would appear to be somewhat crowded."

Jovo Stanisavljevic Caruga
Anyone heard of this guy? Not enough information in the article to establish notability. Radiant! 10:46, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Google only turns up a few hits which hint at a possible copyvio and evidence this is some sort of personal/family vanity. Wyss 17:43, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This was hard to suss out. I found a few Google hits in Slavic when searching for "Slavonski Robin Hud" which include the name Jovo Stanisavljević Čaruga(they didn't show up for Caruga, because of the missing accents). I then Googled the proper spelling with accents and got substantially more hits (71). That's not a whole lot, but I'd imagine there just aren't many Slavic folk resources online. Therefore, I'm suggesting we keep it unless someone who knows Slavic folklore says the person isn't notable. HyperZonk 17:56, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Tentative Keep, with reservations, after Googling the accented spelling (thanks to HyperZonk) showed almost all of those hits are Wikipedia mirrors. Most are for a Serbian outlaw, and a few are for a Serbian athlete.  If this is verified as not a wikipropagated hoax (for the latter's self-promotion or roasting) but a longlasting and widespread "Slavic Robin Hood" legend, then I think it's an encyclopedic topic for the English WP despite the fact that little seems to be online.
