Talk:Yuri I of Galicia

Inconsistency regarding death date
This article gives its subject's death date as 18 March 1308. The Wikipedia article about his second wife, Euphemia of Kuyavia, gives her death date as 18 March 1308, and says "The only preserved evidence of Euphemia's existence is from Jan Długosz's Yearbooks, which reported that on March 18, 1308 Euphemia died and she was the daughter of Prince Casimir and the wife of Yuri I, who died in the same year on April 21, which was also his birthday." If Długosz's annals are in fact the closest thing to a primary source for Yuri of Galicia's death date, sure this article should be amended to show that date as April 21, 1308, rather than 18 March.pnh (talk) 07:36, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

On 15 Feb 2005, this article was nominated for deletion. The result was keep. See Votes for deletion/Jurij I of Halicz for a record of the discussion.

material
I have been using some of materials published at and its sister pages.

This monarch was in such a western position compared to other "Russian" rulers that Georg, Gyorgy, Georgius, Jiri, Jerzy were also names used of him in contemporary use. Because of this, the English one should be used in English Wikipedia. No one can seriously claim that this monarch became known only through Russian sources. Maed 12:43, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

moves
Knowing that there was the move "23:21, 18 April 2006 Valentinian m (moved Jurij I of Halicz to Yuriy I of Halych: Better spelling of the name.)", it is clear that Yuriy I of Halych has not been the original location of this article, contrarily to what Valentinian later falsely alleges in his edit comment on "20:48, 21 June 2006 Valentinian m (moved George I of Halych to Yuriy I of Halych: Returning page to its original name..." - if this is so heavy thing to V, perhaps this should be moved back to the original Jurij I of Halicz and then open a RM to where it possibly should be moved. However, I am happier with George I of Halych, and as long as this remains at that, I would not demand return to Jurij I of Halicz, which is the next alternative. Maed 13:28, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Jurij is not a transliteration known in English, as you are no doubt aware. On 21 June I returned the darn thing to the name you moved it from, since nobody - at least according to Google - has heard of "George of Halycz". I've had enough. Valentinian (talk) 13:37, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

This monarch was not exactly ruler of purely Russian land, and I foresee there are people who do not want this to be under any formulation which may dub this as a Russian. George is a tolerable place, to pre-empt some of such. Don't want an Ukrainian or Belarusan riot. Maed 13:58, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong oppose the rule is the most known name used in English. Google has 0 hits for "George of Halych" (except 1 from a page you've edited.) Yuriy is not normally translated as "George", so it fails on two counts. Valentinian (talk) 18:23, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment. My biggest issue on naming, has to do with which references are being used. This individual is not particularly well-known -- I've been unable to find a mention of him in any of my encyclopedias (and I don't have access to Ukraine-specific information at the moment).  And there are no references listed on the page aside from an external link to a German-language family tree, so I have to ask, where is this information coming from?  If it's coming from an English source, then the name on the Wikipedia article should probably reflect whatever name is used in that source.  If the info is being translated from another language though, then the issue becomes trickier. --Elonka 19:24, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Any other wikipedians go to the UofW?
I'm thinking this page probably needs some expansion. I'll get on it eventually, but feel free to help! CriminalSaint 01:43, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm an alumnus (B.Comm, '80) so I've added the U to my watchlist. While I'm here - under Famous People there's somebody by the name of 'John Nehmetallah' listed, and I can't find much of anything about such a person.  I'm inclined to delete his name.  PKT 14:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like Mikerussell took care of Mr. Nehmetallah for us! PKT 12:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

History just copied from website?
I think the entire History section is just taken from the University's own webpage. Probably should be paraphrased. I added two photos I took while visiting the campus recently too. --Mikerussell 04:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

ad-copy material
Who wrote the first paragraph of the reputation section? The bias is terrible. How should we fix this? (Currently a Windsor student) -- unsigned comment was posted at 23:39, 7 March 2007 by anonymous user at 24.57.16.53
 * You go in and fix it, which I just did. PKT 14:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the above poster was also referring to all ad-copy intro, which had nothing to do with the school's reputation. I removed it entirely. 24.57.1.51

pro-Windsor?
This whole page seems to be quite pro-Windsor, and although I'm sure we are all proud of our university, let's be a little levelheaded here. The bias seeps through. -- unsigned comment was posted at 16:56, 2007 March 16 by anonymous user at 72.38.232.164
 * This is true. The article appears very biased. More contact information such as phone number, postal code etc. should also be added. 72.39.54.224 (talk) 17:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * In addition, Tuition approximations etc. may prove useful.72.39.54.224 (talk) 19:18, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

In addition, all the pictures seem to be Photoshopped with a dramatically increased Brightness and the Hue/Saturation cranked up. I've been on campus daily for six years and seen nothing like this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.232.27 (talk) 06:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Try looking around on a sunny day.  PK T (alk)  15:46, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Endowment
The first addition needs to be the endowment. Not listing it at all is far worse than listing a modest sum. Windsor's bane has been its inability to cope with the truth of its state of affairs. If it could do this well, it could flourish 'to greater heights' more easily, as it were haha.

 * Somebody has recently changed the endowment number from $57M to $211M. $57M has a reference to a report that's a couple of years old, but no evidence has been provided to support $211M so I have reverted it (twice).  Can anybody find a more recent reference so that we can update the endowment number with support?   PK  T (alk)  17:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Reputation
This whole section sounds apologetic and defending of the university rather than presenting the facts. There is no mention of the Maclean's rating. Except for the mention on the Gourman Report, the section is merely an explanation on what rankings are and how to interpret them. Myself being an alumnus I must say that this is clearly in violation of NPOV. SWik78 (talk) 14:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed the Reputation section from this article. It served no useful purpose in explaining the reputation of the University of Windsor and cited only one report (Gourman) of its ranking which happens to be one that is generally not accepted as accurate.

Residence Life - Peeping Tom Incident
For some time now there has been a war of edits adding and removing a section under Residence Life relating to a November 2009 through January 2010 string of peeping tom incidents. It was reported by CBC, "A" Channel and the Windsor star that on three occassions a "peeping tom" spied on female residents of Electa Hall (once in each of Nov. '09, Dec. '09 and Jan. '10). Residence Services never informed the residents of the previous incidents and, following the third incident, students went to the media complaining that they were not informed and thus not protected after the first and second incident. University President Alan Wildeman had to step in and personally took control of the situation and ordered an offical report into the incident which is referenced in the edit. While this may not be a flattering event for Residence Service, it is nonetheless worthy of being a part of the Residence Life section. An event that angered students, created a media frenzy, involved the President of the University and led to a damaging report against both Residence Services and Campus Community Police is a noteworthy event. I think it needs to stop being edited out which is clearly being done to remove a negative event from the University's wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.66.31.127 (talk) 07:14, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relatively short-term events like this generally aren't included in articles because Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. A peeping tom incident won't be remembered by most people in a few years' time. Also it would help if the text was proofread; who are the Campus COmminity Police (sic)?   PK  T (alk)  14:11, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I would have to disagree that this is more news and a one off event. What this was, in fact and largely reported and confirmed in the President's report, was a department deliberately covering up three sexual based offences in one of its residence halls.  In one of the television interviews Acting Provost Dr. McCrone went as far as suggesting that students were told of the peeping tom events and signs were posted - this was found to be a complete fabrication.  Its duration of three months is also immensely symbolic as is the handling of the event by the students.  When students, through teh grapevine so to speak, finally discovered that there was not one, not two, but three incidents that they were never made aware of they not only requested an explanation from department officials, but they put together their own media campaign involving all local media sources.  Section does need some cleaning up, but its content is a far more significant and real event than allowing the section to be used more like an advertisement found in one of the residence services guides for the university of windsor.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.66.31.127 (talk) 20:08, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

I believe that the incident is newsworthy but not significant in an encyclopedic world. There are many incidences at Residences all over the world. Reviewing other articles of Universities/Colleges would reveal that incidences or news articles are generally not included in the article. The person that keeps posting the information should contact the University directly in order to seek more information and include the information in a news blog. This section also lacks a NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.207.210.60 (talk) 15:55, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Research and Reputation
I think it would be appropriate to add the university's core research interests in the opening paragraph. There should also be a new section called 'Research' that could go into some detail on the stated research goals of the university (http://www.uwindsor.ca/vp-research/). As for a reputation section, I believe a listing of the schools ranking from, for example, Macleans is unnecessary, as Windsor and other universities in Canada have challenged the methodology of these ranking, which is also particularly unnecessary in a country with a publicly funded university system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.27.53.227 (talk) 05:20, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * If anyone was interested in establishing a reputation section, you can use Canadian university rankings. FYI, it ranks as #7 for comprehensive universities by Maclean's in 2011. -- Natural  R X 22:11, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Addition of Campus Media section
I believe more needs to be added in regards to the rich variety of campus Media outlets. Maybe an overview of CJAM and campus newspapers such as The Issue and the rivalry between The Lance and the Student Movement.

Hello,

The campus section is in need of expansion and is outdated. UWindsor has recently undergone a series of campus expansions establishing satellite campuses.

Date of establishment / Former names
and - if the current state of the article is acceptable; great. Please stop flicking back and forth in a slow-moving edit war, because it is not acceptable. If you want to continue debating how to best show U of W's origins, please do it here.  PK T (alk)  00:56, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. Can you please help solve the origins of the University of Windsor? The history suggests UW was created by the BOG of Assumption.

"A petition was made to the Province of Ontario for the creation of a non-denominational University of Windsor by the board of governors and regents of Assumption University and the board of directors of Essex College.[13] The University of Windsor came into existence through its incorporation under an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario on December 19, 1962. The transition from an historic Roman Catholic university to a non-denominational provincial university was an unprecedented development"

Leventio disagrees about the history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitchell443 (talk • contribs) 20:03, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm not a wizard in such matters - I've asked Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board for advice.  PK T (alk)  01:13, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

University of Windsor's date of establishment and former name
Look I'd rather not get in an edit war, and rather if we discussed it here (as opposed to edit summaries and broken chat threads in talk pages. In saying that, my point is that the University of Windsor never bore the name Assumption College since it was established in December 1962 (the institution was incorporated on that year as University of Windsor), and it is improper to place that in the former names parameter. In saying that, the university does trace its origins, and has a shared history with Assumption College/University; which was why I added a note to note said historic lineage. However, as they are technically NOT the same institution (made clear by provincial legislation, regardless that the impetus of the legislation being Assumption's BoG, its provincial legislation makes it clear they are separate), the original point stands that use of the "former name" parameter is completely improper for this situation (especially when Assumption College still exists as a federated institution).

This is the case with all other "new" universities with historic lineages to older institutions (see all of University of Paris descendants, McMaster University, whose origins may be traced to Woodstock College, though the date of establishment used is the date it was incorporated as McMaster). Similarily we do not trace the origins of a larger institution to its oldest component (see University of Guelph and the Ontario Agriculture College). With regards to UofT, UofT was incorporated as King`s College (University College is a federated institution established later).

This is reflected in the university`s own retelling of its history, from your source it makes clear the federated relations, on December 19, 1962, the University of Windsor was incorporated by the Ontario Legislature, accepting Assumption University in Federation. And this is further stated on the webpage that links its governing legislation. 01:00, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Yes, I agree. My point is that the University of Windsor was created by Assumption University, which previously was Assumption College. To suggest that it was entirely separate would be nonsensical. This is why they can trace their history back to 1857. The University of Windsor was an amalgamation of colleges that wanted a single institution to confer degrees etc., which is why they created UW. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitchell443 (talk • contribs) 01:09, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree it is completely nonsensical to ignore the historical lineage, which was why I added a notetag to address its historical lineage in the established parameter. And in saying that, I fail to see how would be worse than using the former name parameter (which is just incorrect in a technical level, and not how that parameter was intended to be applied).

 * The former names parameter is intended to be used for former names of the existing institution (UW). The name Assumption University has only been used to refer to the federated institution since UW establishment, and not for the LARGER university. The University of Windsor itself never used the name Assumption College in any capacity as an alternative name for the institution, although it does traces its lineage to the history of Assumption University (though again, they legally remain as separate institutions, per provincial legislation... the legislation itself has UW absorb the non-denominational component of Assumption, known as Essex; and the remaining portions of Assumption remained a separate but federated institution of the new UW). At best, having that up in the former name parameter is an anachronism, and at its worst, it can lead people to conflate the article to Assumption University.

 * Also just a heads up, but if you want to sign your comments just put four tildes at the end of your comment ( ~ ) Leventio (talk) 01:24, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I posted an excerpt below that should help clarify. My point is that Assumption College then University became UW. UW and Assumption are inherently linked more than you have suggested. It seems that they simply changed their name. However, Assumption University still exists but in a theological capacity rather than as an entire university organization as it once was. I see your point about UW being created separately, but Assumption University created UW to take on the non-denominational capacity while leaving itself as an autonomous institution for theological studies. I think the confusion lies in attempting to discern the objective. Yes UW was formed to be separate, but it was also formed to take over existing Assumption university duties. UW still brands itself as founded in 1857, clothing, merchandise, etc., yet acknowledges the start of the official UW in 1963.

Here is the excerpt.

The University of Windsor in WINDSOR, Ont, was founded in 1963. The university began as Assumption College, founded in 1857 by Reverend Pierre Point (pastor of Assumption Parish) to provide a liberal education. In 1858 it received its charter. It was directed by various Catholic religious orders until 1919, and its curriculum consisted of courses primarily designed to prepare students for theological seminaries. It was affiliated with London's Western University (UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO) from 1919 until 1953. In 1956 it became Assumption University, and affiliated with the non-denominational Essex College which provided courses in science, mathematics, physics, geology, nursing, and business administration. Holy Names College for women, which had moved to the campus in 1950, merged with Assumption University in 1962.

"Also in 1962, Assumption University became the University of Windsor and was incorporated by the province." In 1963 and 1964 affiliation agreements were made with Holy Redeemer College, Canterbury College (Anglican) and Iona College (United Church). https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/university-of-windsor Mitchell443 (talk) 04:38, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Again I'm not denying the historical connection/lineage (hence the notetag I placed in the est. parameter), in saying that I'm simply editing what is the legal reality, in that the newly incorporated uni absorbed the non-denominational component of Assumption and Essex while the remaining administrative structure and denominational component of Assumption remained a separate but federated inst. part of the new UW per the University Act).

 * Reading over our conversation though, I don't think we actually disagree on the facts of the matter (we both seem to acknowledge the 1857 historical origin, and the 1962 date of incorporation), but rather how we present said content (you favouring the former names parameter, me favouring a notetag in the established date parameter). If I am reading this situation correctly, and formatting of content is the crux of the debate, we should wait for another editors to see what format they'd favour (using the former name parameter, or a notetag in the established parameter).

 * In saying that though, perhaps we can come up with an alternate proposal/compromise? What if we change the date of establishment to September 1857 but add a notetag addressing the fact that UW was not legally incorporated until later? If we do that, it would actually allow for the former names parameter to appear not as anachronistic (as opposed to right now, having former names from the 19th century for an institution we have listed as established in 1962), and provides further clarity for the infobox. Leventio (talk) 05:43, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I agree with the date of establishment change. The alternative proposal would be a good idea if no one else intervenes on this matter. We could change it for now and see what happens. Mitchell443 (talk) 14:27, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I've adjusted the article to the alternate. Leventio (talk) 19:21, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Merger proposal - University of Windsor Students' Alliance
I propose merging University of Windsor Students' Alliance into University of Windsor. I think the content in University of Windsor Students' Alliance can easily be explained in the context of University of Windsor, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in University of Windsor. Additionally, other undergraduate student associations with minimal content, such as Laurentian's Students' General Association, University of Waterloo Student Association, and Wilfrid Laurier University Students' Union are included on their university's pages. If this association ends up garnering enough encyclopedic content, we can revisit creating a standalone page. RoyalObserver (talk) 10:24, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge these organizations just aren't important enough in reality to be their own articles. That they exist, and have a student body and maybe paper, is about the most encyclopaedic info that can be said about the majority of them. Canterbury Tail talk 15:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge We have no independent sources showing this group's notability. In fact, as is the article has no sources that even mention this group. Two refs are dead and the three remaining links are university links that so not actually mention the students' union. Meters (talk) 17:58, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Move C-300 content to existing article on C-300 ?
There is a comment on the page that the McKay article is too much about private members bills. The C-300 discussion, which I think is an important and interesting topic, is now quite long, and considerably longer than the short paragraph on Bill C-300 in an existing Wikipedia article on the Bill.

I propose to move the C-300 content to the dedicated article, and replace with a shorter (neutral) reference in the McKay article - please speak-up if you disagree.

Talk:Pierre Berton

Pierre Berton (playwright)
There is also a 19th century French playwright by this name. Any suggestion on how to sort out the disambiguation? I'm guessing the Canadian Pierre Berton is the more famous, so we should create a Pierre Berton (disambiguation) page, link to it here, and leave the current article where it is. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:48, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable to me. Something like the header of the Micheal Jackson page would be appropriate. PullUpYourSocks 19:29, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

innaccuracies
It should be mentioned that many of the figures he cites in some of his books (Marching as to War and Vimy come to mind) are not the same as other major historians. Just thought I'd point it out.

Cam 04:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Cam - Pierre never claimed to be an academic historian; his histories are popular histories.

first of all, let's learn spelling - inaccuracies, single n. secondly, let's take the meaning of inaccuracy. not certain what you mean by "many of the figures . . . are not the same as other major historians." do you mean the interpretation of their character/deeds/etc? or do you mean that col. so-and-so is not mentioned by historian A and thus suspect? whatever you mean should be laid out in clear, unambiguous english, supported by facts. am looking forward to your response.

quote query
Berton said something to the effect of: Toronto does the least with the most, while Regina does the most with the least. I included this in the Saskatchewan in popular culture article but have not been able to find an appropriate source. Does anyone know from where this quote comes? Mumun 無文 16:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

V-J Day
minor point. while the signing of the formal instrument of surrender was certainly in september, berton's and everyone else's chance of seeing combat vanished in early august.Toyokuni3 (talk) 15:36, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Fired from Maclean's?
I just read this, and thought it could be included in the article: "When journalist Pierre Berton wronte in Maclean's that he hoped his daughters would have sex in a comfortable bed rather than the back seat of a car, the resulting backlash led to his being fired." -- Bora Laskin: Bringing Law to Life, Philip Girard, 2005,p.350. It gives a footnote for the Globe and Mail, 1 Dec 2004. --Padraic 01:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC) kos nanat

Lack of reliable references
I've demoted this article to a start category, because it has minimal, reliable references. I provided one reliable inline citation, on his birthplace. It is from his two-page obituary from the Toronto Star newspaper on 1 December 2004. Most of the rest of the article is unreferenced, but could easily be rectified through such free resources as the Toronto Public Library's Proquest database that contains both the Toronto Star and The Globe and Mail newspaper archives online. I'm busy with other articles right now, but someone should do some research and add proper inline citations where needed, which is most of the article. Abebenjoe (talk) 17:17, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

 * The article has many references added since 2010 so I am removing the Refimprove tag. -M.Nelson (talk) 05:01, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

"Laird of Kleinburg"
Berton used to have this affectionate journalistic nickname. However when I check the web for it, the only reference I find is a film review that I had forgotten writing myself in 1999. Does someone have a citation for that nickname?

Varlaam (talk) 06:23, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

The Ubyssey
Hey, I notice some one wants a citation for Berton's time at the Ubyssey. Starting in October of 1939, you can always find his name in the "reportorial staff" section of the paper in their archives from that period: http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/pdfs/ubyssey/UBYSSEY_1939_10_03.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.233.208 (talk) 19:47, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Cremation
I have removed "He was creamated not buried but alot of do think he was buried so get the word out he was not" Statement was unsourced and is not phrased appropriately however I copy it here in case a source is found. -- KenWalker | Talk 15:58, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Timeline
I edited the timeline section for various dates that were incorrect and for incorrect grammar. The source I used was the timeline at pierreberton.com, although on that website they refer to The Smug Minority as The Smug Majority, so it's odd they would get that wrong. 22 March 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.197.71.189 (talk) 18:08, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Why no mention of Pierre Berton's wife, five children, family life, professional colleagues?
Pierre Burton was forthcoming about such details, including the arrival at their family home of Vicki Gabereau when she moved from Vancouver to Toronto. There was no hiding of such matters and there is plenty of published discussion of them. Masalai (talk) 22:54, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Page structure
The article has many sections on the same level ranging from fairly specific and isolated careersteps (Military career, War correspondent in Korea, Editor in Toronto) to some much broader 'roles' Berton had (Public intellectual, Historian). I think it would benefit from some proper re-ordering but I did not feel comfortable in changing it too much myself. Instead I only moved the 'Decline' part to 'Public intellectual' as this seems to be closely related to that role. --MichielN (talk) 13:05, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Matt Riley

Matthew Paul Riley (born August 2, 1979) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Baltimore Orioles and the Texas Rangers.

Baseball career
He attended Sacramento City College. Riley was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the third round of the 1997 draft. He dominated for the Delmarva Shorebirds of the South Atlantic League at age 18, having an earned run average of 1.19 and 136 strikeouts in 83 innings pitched. It was there that his curveball started becoming known as one of the best in the Orioles' organization at the time. He had similar success with the Frederick Keys of the Carolina League and the Bowie Baysox of the Double-A Eastern League in 1999. He earned a callup to the Orioles in 1999, and though his ERA in three starts there was 7.36, he was still highly regarded by the Orioles due to his minor-league achievements that year. Baseball America listed him as the Orioles' top prospect in both 1999 and 2000. However, in 2000, he made only two starts for the Rochester Red Wings (then the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate), giving up 11 earned runs in 7 innings. He spent the rest of that season and the 2001 season recovering from his first Tommy John surgery.

He returned to playing in 2002, but with little success. He went 4-10 at Bowie, with an ERA of 6.34. He showed signs of improvement in 2003, going a combined 9-4 for Bowie and the Orioles' new Triple-A team in Ottawa and earning another callup to the major leagues, where he earned his first career win and had a 1.80 ERA in two starts. The 2004 season was the first season that he began in the majors, but he struggled there. In 14 appearances (13 starts), he logged a 3-4 record and a 5.62 ERA, and he was also sent back to Ottawa for ten starts.

Finally, in 2005, the Orioles traded him to the Texas Rangers during spring training for Ramon Nivar. He was able to play briefly in the major leagues for Texas, but as a one-out middle reliever rather than a starter. He accumulated an ERA of 9.95 over seven games and was then sent down to the Triple-A Oklahoma RedHawks. In July 2005, he had his second Tommy John surgery and missed the rest of the 2005 season. While attempting to come back from that surgery, he retore his ulnar collateral ligament and had to have a third Tommy John surgery on his left elbow.

In 2007, Riley played for the Las Vegas 51s and Jacksonville Suns in the Los Angeles Dodgers minor league system. Riley was released by the Dodgers on July 24, 2008.

After not playing baseball in 2009, Riley played for two independent league teams in 2010 — the Orange County Flyers and the York Revolution. He then retired from the game.

Personal life
Matt married Tiffany Hayward on January 14, 2006. They have 2 daughters together and reside in Tennessee.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-02-28/Criticism and reaction

The volume level in the ongoing public debate over Wikipedia picked up again considerably last week. Arguments and rebuttals continued to circulate while Wikipedia editors reacted to these discussions by making changes in the encyclopedia as appropriate.

The second issue of the fledgling Free Software Magazine published an article last week entitled "The FUD-based Encyclopedia", written as a response to last year's article from former Britannica editor Robert McHenry, "The Faith-Based Encyclopedia". Author Aaron Krowne, one of the founders of PlanetMath, gave the glowing review, "I cannot remember the last time I accessed a Wikipedia article that was not of apparent professional quality." Krowne set out to rebut McHenry's commentary point by point, and the arguments were further aired in a Slashdot discussion about the article.

Digging up conspiracy theories
An article that was "not of apparent professional quality" was not nearly so hard to find for a blogger who posts under the name Callimachus, however. On a blog called Done With Mirrors, he told of finding the Cantor Fitzgerald article (actually, this is a redirect to Cantor Fitzgerald Securities) based on a Google search, and proceeded to quote it in full as it existed last Friday. At the time, it had three very short paragraphs, one "See also" link, and three external links. His verdict was that "this seems a curiously incomplete full entry for a major company that has been around since 1945." (Neither Britannica nor Encarta has so much as an article on the firm.)

Not only was the article sketchy, Callimachus commented, "It all looks like a lot of conspiracy theory hoo-ha." The article briefly mentioned the company's employee losses in the September 11, 2001 attacks (most of the article's history involved this, as a list of casualties was created, then later removed to the September 11 memorial wiki). It also mentioned an affiliated business called eSpeed, through which Cantor Fitzgerald worked on a wargaming exercise with the US Naval War College, with some rather "clumsy innuendo" suggesting that terrorists might find such an organization a logical target. (The information about eSpeed was added in 2003 as an "ironic fact" by an IP address in the 142.177 range associated with since-banned user EntmootsOfTrolls.)

Instalanche season in effect
Instapundit stirred up additional traffic on Friday by linking to Callimachus' post, and later updating it with a link to older criticism from Judith Weiss of Kesher Talk, who has been collecting examples of complaints about Wikipedia. The conspiracy theory material was then removed, but later readers coming from Instapundit still left their commentaries on the talk page.

This followed an earlier posting 20 February on Instapundit calling attention to the nomination for deletion of an article about blogger La Shawn Barber. While Barber said she did not want to be in Wikipedia, other bloggers and Instapundit readers campaigned for her inclusion, although many of the votes on both sides were being questioned. Votes of established users were fairly evenly split on whether to keep the article.

How to handle criticism?
In the middle of these arguments and counterarguments over critiques of Wikipedia, the article Criticism of Wikipedia was suggested for deletion for the second time. The first vote for deletion, which followed the article's initial creation in December, resulted in no action after a majority voted to keep it. The Wikipedia article also has a shorter "Criticisms" section, which now opens with a link to the Criticism of Wikipedia article. This practice is common for lengthy articles that spawn articles on more specific subtopics, and in fact the Wikipedia article is currently about 32 Kb in length.

The idea of merging the "Criticisms" content back into the main article was suggested by several people in the original vote, and Pjacobi mentioned this in opening the second vote for deletion, adding, "death to all POV forks". On the second attempt, the response was overwhelmingly to keep the article, although it was not always clear whether people saw this as an issue with article length or a way to siphon off a seemingly intractable dispute from the main article. Andries called Pjacobi's concept of what constitutes a POV fork "misguided", but Kappa stated a belief that the article was "specifically created to allow the main article to have a pro-wikipedia POV". A lone voice for a different solution came from Raul654, who said it was navelgazing that belonged on Meta instead.

David Byron

David Garrick (29 January 1947 – 28 February 1985), better known by his stage name David Byron, was a British singer, who was best known in the early 1970s as the original lead vocalist of the rock band Uriah Heep. Byron possessed a powerful operatic voice and a flamboyant stage presence.

Early life (1958–1969)
David Byron was educated at Independent school (United Kingdom) Forest School, Walthamstow, from 1958 to 1964, where, as a popular pupil he excelled at sports and was in the school 1st XI football team. From the mid-1960s to early 1970s, he did session work for a company called Avenue Recordings, singing lead and backing vocals (occasionally along with Mick Box on guitar and Paul Newton on bass). These were cover versions of Top 20 hits and were released on EPs and LPs.

His first venture into professional music was with an Epping-based semi-pro band called The Stalkers, which also featured Box. Byron and Box then teamed up to form the band Spice (1967–1969), which also featured Newton on bass and Alex Napier on drums. Before settling on the name Spice other names were considered including 'The Play' and a handful of acetates exist of unreleased tracks recorded at the time and credited to 'The Play'. The band gigged extensively locally under the management of Paul Newton's father and they secured a recording deal with United Artists, which issued the band's only single "What About The Music/In Love"; copies of which now fetch around $50 to $100 on the collectors' market.

Deciding that the Spice sound would require keyboards, they recruited keyboardist/guitarist/singer/songwriter Ken Hensley, who was Newton's bandmate in The Gods. During this time, Byron renamed the band Uriah Heep from the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield.

With Uriah Heep 1969–1976
[[File:Uriah Heep Mercury Records 1972 promotional image.jpg|thumb|Uriah Heep in 1972

L–R: Ken Hensley, Mick Box, Gary Thain, David Byron and Lee Kerslake]] Byron sang on ten Uriah Heep albums: Very 'eavy Very 'Umble, Salisbury, Look at Yourself, Demons and Wizards, The Magician's Birthday, Live, Sweet Freedom, Wonderworld, Return To Fantasy, and High and Mighty. In 1975, Byron released his first solo album, Take No Prisoners, which also featured fellow Heep members Box, Hensley and Lee Kerslake. Byron also gained a reputation for hard drinking, which eventually led to him being sacked from Uriah Heep at the end of a Spanish tour in July 1976.

Hensley said at the time, "David was one of those classic people who couldn't face up to the fact that things were wrong and he looked for solace in a bottle." Ahead of his dismissal, Uriah Heep had secured John Lawton as replacement singer. Their manager at the time, Bron said Byron had been released in "the best interest of the group". Bron explained that Byron and the other Uriah Heep members had been in disagreement for some time over fundamental issues of group policy, and that the differences had been finally brought to a head following the band's recent tour of Britain and Europe. "It was felt by the rest of the group that they could no longer reconcile David's attitude with their own," commented Bron.

Later career (1975–1984)
Byron recorded three solo albums: Take No Prisoners in 1975, Baby Faced Killer in 1978, and That Was Only Yesterday, which was recorded in 1984, one year before his death. During this period, Byron teamed up with former Colosseum / Humble Pie guitarist Clem Clempson and former Wings drummer Geoff Britton to form Rough Diamond. They recorded one self-titled LP for Island Records in March 1977. The album sold poorly and Byron quit.

Next, Byron got together with guitarist Robin George to form The Byron Band, which was signed to Creole Records ( a label which was perhaps an inapposite choice since it specialised in early reggae, showcasing artists like Sugar Minott and Max Romeo) and debuted with the single "Every Inch of the Way/Routine" (CR 8). This was followed by the single "Never Say Die/Tired Eyes", before the release of the 1981 album On the Rocks (CRX 2). However, as with his previous band Rough Diamond, neither critical nor commercial acclaim was forthcoming.

Box and Trevor Bolder invited Byron to re-join Uriah Heep in 1981, after Ken Hensley had left, but Byron refused.

Lost and Found is a double album that included demos and live recordings by the Byron Band, which spanned from 1980 to 1982. It also includes a Robin George solo track.

Death and legacy
Byron died of alcohol-related complications, including liver disease and seizures, at his home in Berkshire on 28 February 1985. He was 38 years old. On BBC Radio's The Friday Rock Show, Tommy Vance played "July Morning" in tribute.

On the "Equator" tour, around the time of Byron's death, Uriah Heep dedicated "The Wizard" to him. There were also tributes to him and deceased bassist Gary Thain on the 1998 album Sonic Origami.

Audi Driving Experience

The Audi Driving Experience is a national racing-track-based driving tuition and education program initiated by Audi in 1983. Its aim is to educate drivers through both theoretical lessons and practical "hands-on" tuition, primarily focusing on the complexities of modern powertrains and chassis electronics found in virtually all of today's cars, with an emphasis on Audi vehicles.

The Audi Driving Experience includes emergency maneuvers using Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) systems, theory and practice of safe high-speed handling, and demonstrates and educates the abilities of Audi's trademark Quattro four-wheel drive system. These activities are all carried off away from public roads and highways.

AUDI AG provides all of the vehicles at each facility.

Europe
The Audi Driving Experience originated in Audi's home country of Germany. It has its company headquarters in Ingolstadt.

United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, it is organised by Audi UK, and is based at the Silverstone motor racing circuit.

United States
As of 2007, Audi of America and Emotive offer drivers the opportunity to drive Audi vehicles on a variety of courses.

China
Launched on 2 September 2003, the Audi Driving Experience is a driver education and training scheme offered to the Chinese motoring public. Concentrating on three themes, or styles of driving, the courses include "defensive driving training", "advanced track training", and "winter rally training". It is based at two operational centers, operating from Shanghai and Zhuhai International Circuit.

Russia
In Russia, Audi Drive Experience is presented by the "Vasin Driving School". Spent on the race track Moscow Raceway "Audi Sport Driving Experience 2017".

Jimmy Carson

James Charles Carson (born July 20, 1968) is an American former professional ice hockey player. He played 10 seasons in the National Hockey League with five different teams. In 1988, he became only the second teenager in NHL history to score 50 goals in a season; the first was Wayne Gretzky.

Playing career
As a youth, Carson played in the 1980 and 1981 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with the Detroit Compuware minor ice hockey team.

Carson was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft as the second overall pick. He scored 37 goals as an 18-year-old rookie in the 1986–87 NHL season. In just his second NHL season he notched 55 goals, establishing himself as one of the sport's top young players and setting a single season NHL record for most goals by a United States-born player. The record was matched by Kevin Stevens in the 1992–93 NHL season, At the end of his second season, Carson was part of the August 9, 1988, blockbuster trade that sent himself, Martin Gélinas, the Kings' three first-round draft picks in 1989, 1991 and 1993, and $15 million cash to the Edmonton Oilers for Wayne Gretzky, Marty McSorley and Mike Krushelnyski.

Carson demanded a trade out of Edmonton in November 1989. He was traded to his hometown of Detroit along with Kevin McClelland and a fifth-round draft pick for Adam Graves, Petr Klíma, Joe Murphy and Jeff Sharples. These players were instrumental in helping Edmonton win their fifth Stanley Cup in seven years in 1990.

Carson later returned to Los Angeles in January 1993, following a trade for popular all-star defenseman Paul Coffey. He played with Gretzky and the Kings for parts of two seasons, but never regained the scoring touch he had early in his career. He later played for the Vancouver Canucks and the Hartford Whalers, where he ended his NHL career in 1996.

From 1996-1998 Carson played for his hometown Detroit Vipers of the International Hockey League. He was a member of the 1997 Turner Cup-winning team.

Carson represented the United States in the 1986 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships and the 1987 World Ice Hockey Championships.

Carson participated in the Red Wings versus Toronto Maple Leafs alumni game before the 2014 NHL Winter Classic at Comerica Park.

Todd Williams

Todd Michael Williams (born February 13, 1971) is an American former professional baseball relief pitcher. He attended East Syracuse-Minoa High School graduating in 1989. He then attended Onondaga Community College before signing a professional baseball contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers of the Major League Baseball (MLB) in 1991. Over the course of his professional career Williams played for 10 different organizations, including all or parts of eight seasons in the Major Leagues. He is a retired 18-year professional baseball player, with eight years of Major League Baseball experience. Williams was also a member of the USA Baseball team three separate years, with the highlight of winning a Gold Medal in the 2000 Summer Olympics held in Sydney, Australia.

Williams, who retired from baseball after the 2008 season, holds the all-time Minor League Baseball record for saves with 223, compiled during an 18-year professional career. A four-time Triple-A All-Star Game participant, Williams also holds the record for most career appearances by a professional member of Team USA.

Williams served as bullpen closer for the 2000 United States Olympic Baseball Team during the Sydney, Australia Summer Games.

Williams elected to play his 1991 season at Onondaga Community College and was selected to the first team all-region all-star team as well as sharing the Kelly J Dwyer Award (MVP) with teammate Marc Grande. Williams finished 8th in the Nation in E.R.A (1.14), and as of '91 was 7th in all-time leaders in E.R.A. (1.76). In 1990 Onondaga ranked 20th in the nation as a team. Onondaga ranked 3rd nationally in hitting with a .369 batting average, finished with the 4th best winning percentage in the country in '90 going 25-3 .893% and in '91 finished with the 5th best winning percentage in the country going 29–5. Williams then signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers before the 1991 draft.

Los Angeles Dodgers
Williams moved up the Dodgers ladder quickly, making it from short-season Great Falls in 1991 to Triple A Albuquerque by 1993, and made his big-league debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 29, 1995, against the Atlanta Braves, retiring all three batters he faced.

Oakland Athletics
He was traded to the Oakland Athletics four months later, on Sept, 8, 1995, spending the 1996 season at Triple-A Edmonton where he was used in varied roles, including making 10 of what would be just 12 career starts.

Baltimore Orioles
Over the next eight seasons, Williams would play for six more organizations – Cincinnati Reds (1997–99), Seattle Mariners (1999–2000), the New York Yankees (2001), Montreal Expos (2002), Tampa Bay Rays (2003) and Texas Rangers (2004), seeing some big league time with the Reds (six games in 1998), Mariners (13 games in 1999) and Yankees (15 games in 2001) before signing with the Baltimore Orioles on June 23, 2004.

After posting a 2.87 ERA in 29 games with the Orioles in 2004, Williams made the club out of spring training in '05. In 72 games (eighth in the American League), he posted a 3.30 ERA, including his first Major League save, which came on August 19 in a 5–3 win against the Oakland Athletics.

Williams notched one more save in the majors with the Orioles in 2006 after posting a 4.74 ERA in 62 games. Williams struggled after sustaining an injury in 2007. He went on to post a 7.53 ERA in 14 games. Williams was subsequently released by the Orioles on June 17 of that year.

Talk:Arnold expedition

I just stumbled upon this site (Wikipedia) and thought to see what kind of stuff was here. I plugged in Daniel Morgan and found this article on the Arnold Expedition. I have always been fascinated by that trek and have written lyrics that someday may get a tune to accompany them. Anyway, here are the lyrics (mostly factual). If anybody wants to add verses or write music, that would be cool. Wayne

The Height of Land

You can’t row bateaux up the slopes that go to the bitter hard Height of Land. You can’t take a citadel when you’re outgunned, outfed,  outmanned. You can’t win a whole damned continent when you’re so starved you can’t stand. But as I breathe I swear, we came pretty near, pulling boats up the Height of Land.

My name’s John Joseph Henry and I’ll tell you all a tale about a hellish march we made to a battle bound to fail. Eleven hundred men we were who left from Gardinerstown and started up the Kennebec as the Autumn leaves fell down.

I was just a lad of 16 when we started on that trek through the wilderness with Arnold to the fortress of Quebec. Dan Morgan’s Rifles led the way, Virginians lean and true, who’d learn to eat their moccasins before the trip was through.

You can’t row bateaux up the slopes that go To the bitter hard Height of Land. You can’t take a citadel when you’re outgunned, outfed, outmanned. You can’t win a whole damned continent when you’re so starved you can’t stand. But as I breathe I swear, we came pretty near, pulling boats up the Height of Land.

The expedition’s orders were to travel by canoe, birchbark makes light carryin’, which we knew we’d have to do. But we got 400 pound bateaux, - pine barges, square and squat: their boards so green leaked like a screen and our rations turned to rot.

The Dead River ain’t that peaceful and its dead don’t leave a trace. It’s a journey made of misery at the 12 mile Carrying Place. To the Dead from the Kennebec it was 10 days of nothin’ good - of blood and sweat and pain to haul that goddamned worthless wood

You can’t row bateaux up the slopes that go to the bitter hard Height of Land. You can’t take a citadel when you’re outgunned, outfed, outmanned. You can’t win a whole damned continent when you’re so starved you can’t stand. But as I breathe I swear, we came pretty near, pulling boats up the Height of Land.

Now the Height of Land breaks the watershed of the Dead from the Chaudiere, and those hills aren’t made for boatin’ just one look makes it awful clear. And none of us was sailin’ men so we chuckled just to think that even if we stove our boats, none of ‘em would sink.

With buckskin wrapped around our hands we started up that hill. Many a bone was broke and many a crushed man lies there still. But we did our best and we made the crest and we cheered at his command, cried Arnold “Boys, that’s Canada. Leave your tears on the Height of Land.”

You can’t row bateaux up the slopes that go to the bitter hard Height of Land. You can’t take a citadel when you’re outgunned, outfed, outmanned. You can’t win a whole damned continent when you’re so starved you can’t stand. But as I breathe I swear, we came pretty near, pulling boats up the Height of Land.

Merge proposal
Is being discussed at Talk:Invasion of Canada (1775). Please discuss it there, so we can have all this in one place.

Speedy deletion nomination of Nauheed Cyrusi

A tag has been placed on Nauheed Cyrusi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Essendon Airport

Essendon Fields Airport, colloquially known by its former name Essendon Airport, is a 305 ha public airport serving scheduled commercial, corporate-jet, charter and general aviation flights. It is located next to the intersection of the Tullamarine and Calder Freeways, in the north western suburb of Essendon Fields of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The airport is the closest to Melbourne's City Centre, approximately an 11 km drive north-west from it and 8 km south-east from Melbourne–Tullamarine Airport. In 1970, Tullamarine Airport replaced Essendon as Melbourne's main airport.

History
The area of the airport was originally known as St Johns, after an early landowner. The airport was proclaimed as Essendon Aerodrome by the Commonwealth Government in 1921. For some time prior to proclamation, the aerodrome had been used by the Victorian Chapter of the Australian Aero Club (renamed the Royal Victorian Aero Club), having initially been based at Point Cook. The Aero Club remained at Essendon until the late 1940s when it transferred to Moorabbin Airport.

Originally the airport had grass runways with the first tenants moving in from December 1921, including H.J. Larkin, Captain Matthews, Bob Hart, and Major Harry Shaw.

The 1920s period saw the great pioneering aviation flights of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith who visited the airport on several occasions. On 16 August 1926 70,000 people swarmed across the grassy fields of Essendon Aerodrome upon the arrival of aviation pioneer Alan Cobham when he landed his de Havilland DH.50 floatplane, flown from England to Australia.

Essendon Aerodrome was the location of the first parachute jump by a woman in Australia. On 21 November 1937 Jean Burns, a seventeen year old member of the Aero Club, leapt from a DH4 in front of a crowd of hundreds of people and landed in a nearby paddock.

The Aerodrome was extended with additional land during the 1930s. Further construction of the runways was undertaken in 1946: at the request of the Commonwealth, the Country Roads Board (later VicRoads) undertook the construction to upgrade and lengthen the original north–south grass runway to concrete tarmac, 4800 ft in length by 150 ft wide. On completion of the north–south runway, a new east–west runway, 6100 ft in length by 200 ft wide was constructed. Owing to non-availability of cement however, this runway was constructed in flexible-type pavement, primed and sealed with bitumen.

Melbourne Airport (1950–1970)
Essendon became Australia's second, and Melbourne's first, international airport in February 1950. The airport was renamed Melbourne Airport, and the first international commercial flight arrived from New Zealand a year later. In the 1950s Essendon Airport was too small for the larger pure jets, such as the Boeing 707. The airport was surrounded by housing and expansion was impossible. In 1959 Cabinet approved the acquisition of 2167 ha in Tullamarine for the purpose of a new international airport, which began construction in the 1960s and was ready to handle aircraft by 1967, but not passenger flights. At this time, Essendon was no longer named Melbourne Airport, with the new airport rapidly taking shape. Commercial international flights were transferred to the new airport in 1970, with commercial domestic flights following the next year.

The major passenger airlines using Essendon in the postwar years until scheduled air services were transferred to Tullamarine were Ansett Airlines and Trans Australia Airlines.

A variety of aircraft were used through Essendon in the 1960s – Lockheed L-188 Electras; Vickers Viscounts; Fokker F27 Friendships; Douglas DC-3s, DC-4s, and DC-6s; de Havilland Comets, and from 1964, Boeing 727s. Douglas DC-9s were introduced later in the decade.

International flights departed mainly from Sydney during Essendon's years of operation, and there were regular daily flights between the two largest metropolitan areas in Australia.

Some notable arrivals at the airport include:
 * 1964 – The Beatles, upon arrival, waved to thousands of teenagers from the viewing deck of Essendon Airport's main terminal building.
 * 1967 – United States President Lyndon B. Johnson for the memorial service of Prime Minister Harold Holt. Johnson's aircraft Air Force One landed at Essendon Airport on 22 December 1967 then flew empty to Tullamarine as its weight when refuelled was too heavy for Essendon's tarmac.
 * 1973 – Sir Robert Helpmann co-directed with Rudolf Nureyev, The Australian Ballet film of Don Quixote in F hangar.
 * 1987 – Kylie Minogue filmed her first-ever music video for her debut single Locomotion here.

Post 2000
In 2001, the Commonwealth Government sold its management rights for the airport to Edgelear Pty. Ltd., a consortium of the Linfox transport group owned by transport tycoon Lindsay Fox (which also owns Avalon Airport), and the Becton group of companies. Executive, corporate, and privately owned aircraft are based here along with charter, freight, and regional Victorian airlines who currently operate from the airport as well as several flight training schools. The airport also provides warehousing facilities, and a home to the Victorian Air Ambulance, Royal Flying Doctor Service and the Victoria Police Air Wing.

In 2007, the airport was re-designed under a new master plan, as part of the Essendon Fields development. This master plan caters to the future of the site for both aviation and non-aviation use. A new access road and off-ramp were constructed from the Tullamarine Freeway to enter the airport precinct from the north, rather than the common Matthews Avenue entry point. This has necessitated the construction of an Aero-Crossing as the new access road crosses a taxiway. Most of the aviation users of the former 'Northern Hangars' have moved to other sites on the airport with the notable exceptions of the Victoria Police Air Wing and Executive Airlines. The Police Air Wing is due to move to a new facility in the future as the former 'Northern Hangars' are scheduled to be removed as non-aviation businesses purchase sites in that area. Executive Airlines will continue to operate from their present building. The airfield itself also has undergone a major upgrade with the installation of lighting and signage systems to bring the airport to International Civil Aviation Organization standards. There are now taxiway signs, and the taxiway and runway lighting has been upgraded to new units. The runway lighting is now medium intensity on runway 17/35 and upgraded to high intensity on 08/26. This alleviates the loss of the approach lighting system previously. Also during this upgrade, the old Fixed Distance Lighting and Visual Approach Slope Indicator systems were decommissioned and replaced with new Precision Approach Path Indicator systems on the left side of all runways. A new Pilot Activated Lighting or PAL system was also installed to allow the lighting system to remain off when not required for use by aircraft.

In November 2007 Essendon Airport released its latest master plan. The master plan details further proposals to expand aviation activities. These plans have been opposed by the local residents' group "Close Essendon Airport" and local political representatives Kelvin Thomson MP and Judy Maddigan. A competing group known as "Save Essendon Airport" was formed and led by Lincoln Robinson and wants the airport to stay open for air ambulance, aircraft charter, and aircraft maintenance services. Within one week the group had more than 500 members and over 2,000 signatures on a petition. Shortly after its launch and lobbying the then Government announced that the airport would remain.

Recent history
In November 2017, the airport was renamed from Essendon Airport to Essendon Fields Airport, reflecting the name of the suburb it is situated in. In 2019, the renovation of the airport terminal was completed. It was the first major renovation since the airport opened in 1959.

The Essendon Airport Air Traffic Control Tower is listed on the Commonwealth Heritage List.

Accidents and incidents

 * On 18 May 1942, a United States Army Air Forces Consolidated LB-30 Liberator crashed on landing at Essendon airfield. The Liberator had earlier taken off from Essendon when smoke was observed in the cockpit, prompting the pilot to return the aircraft to the airfield. One person was killed when he fell out of the nose wheel doors after the crash landing. The aircraft subsequently burst into flames. The rest of the crew members suffered burns but escaped alive.

 * On 31 January 1945, a heavily modified Stinson Model A registered VH-UYY and named Tokana, operated by Australian National Airways, departed from Essendon Airport for the daily flight to Kerang. On board were eight passengers and two pilots. About twenty minutes later the aircraft broke up in mid-air, killing all on board. The aircraft had suffered fatigue failure of its left wing. The accident investigators believed this was the first crash of an aircraft due to metal fatigue.

 * On 10 July 1978, a Partenavia P.68 on a training flight crashed shortly after taking off from Essendon Airport with three people on board. Six people on the ground were killed and one seriously injured; and the three occupants of the aircraft were also seriously injured.
 * On 3 September 1986, a Cessna 402 air ambulance aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from Essendon airport with six on board. All six were killed after the aircraft burst into flames upon crashing to the ground in what is today the suburb of Gowanbrae.
 * On 3 December 1993, a de Havilland DH.104 Dove on a charter dinner flight crashed in a suburban street shortly after taking off from the airport with ten people on board.
