Talk:List of German Jews

Is this tasteful?
I am far from being a zealot of Political Correctness. I, for one feel however that this list is arbitrary on the one hand, since it does not specify a definition of Jewishness that it follows, and, on the other hand, is of very bad taste. There is no need to compile a list of Jews in Germany. It is intrinsically arbitrary, it therefore carries no information but can be potentially dangerous. I suggest it be deleted.Koskoci (talk) 01:09, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps some people regard this list as a Hall of Fame of these important personalities. This does not justify its existence though. If a person was a prominent Mathematician, Zionist or Civil Engineer, they will be given sufficient attention in Wikipedia under that entry.Koskoci (talk) 01:09, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

 * As a person of German Jewish ancestry, I would point out first of all that there are categories for Polish Jews, French Jews, etc. on Wikipedia, and that determining who is Jewish is often of interest to researchers trying to understand such phenomena as the exodus of thousands of German Jewish refugees in the late 1930s. It's not about having a hall of fame, but rather about understanding what happened in the world in the mid-20th century, who it affected, and how. The use of wikipedia categories is much better, and creates a dynamic page. I also like that it makes it unnecessary to refer to the fact of Jewishness in the article itself, which should be necessary only if the person was involved specifically in Jewish life. For example, a famous German physician ought to be in the category German Jews, but unless he is also famous for contributions to refugee appeals, leadership in the Jewish community, etc, the article itself does not need to refer to that. However, if the person was alive in 1938 and forced to flee for that reason, then it does seem very relevant. It's just a matter of trying to understand the lives of these people. Metzenberg (talk) 02:34, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Obviously, this isn't a list of "German Jews" it's a list of notable Jewish people who lived in Germany during a certain time. The heading is sort of ridiculous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sethgodin (talk • contribs) 12:54, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Hugo Lederer
I did not find any indication for Jewishness of Hugo Lederer. The reference 60 indicates that he, as an important native, lived in the city Znojmo, but no indication that he was Jew. On the other side Hugo Lederer was since 1931 member of the organisation “Frontkämpferbund Stahlhelm“. The membership of Jews was not permitted. I suggest to delete him from the list.--Albugond (talk) 20:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Max Born
I know that this has been discussed by people a lot, but I'd like to remove Max Born from the list. according to his wikipedia article:

"though Born was a Lutheran, he was classified as a "Jew" by the Nazi racial laws due to his ancestry"

I think that it is a sad irony that the classifications that this article uses are the same as the hateful policies of the third riech.(Lucas(CA) (talk) 23:31, 30 May 2009 (UTC))

Removed
I've removed Helmut Schmidt (I didnt bother to get any others, I'll assume someone with some wisdom will do that) because there was no source indicating he was Jewish, which makes sense seeing as he isn't Jewish and neither was his father, religiously or ethnically, by Jewish law and even by Nazi race laws. If you would like to make a category of non-Jewish people with partial Jewish descent then you could put him in there, but placing non practising people of only 1/2 descent (non-maternal) or even more wrong less that (such as 1/4) in a list called "German jews" is not only misleading but also incorrect. (75.118.14.255 (talk) 22:00, 3 August 2009 (UTC)).

Wilhelm Dröscher
There is no credible source that says he was a Jew, there is only a non-credible website that makes no sense so why would someone put Wilhelm Dröscher here? It should be proven or removed. --80.129.194.135 (talk) 14:53, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Gregor Gysi
Gysi is not Jewish. He has some Jewish ancestors, but he is not a Jew. (See the German-language Wikipedia article on him for more details.) His mother was not Jewish. Her mother was not Jewish. Gysi has a Jewish great-grandfather on his mother's side and various Jewish ancestors on his father's side, but he is not Jewish according to traditional Jewish law (halakhah) on descent. He is not Jewish in terms of his own religious practice. He calls himself a non-believer. Moreover, in Germany, some of his right-wing opponents call him Jewish as a reproach or a way to question his "Germanness." Or they wish to link his (former) Communism with his (supposed) Jewishness. It is not appropriate to have him on this list. Poldy Bloom (talk) 03:02, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

I wanted to add that I understand this article includes people "of Jewish ancestry," but I do not think Gysi should be on the list. Heinrich von Friedberg, Eduard von Simson, and Heinrich Heine were all born Jewish, even if they were formally Christian in their adult lives. Albert Michelson and Adolf von Baeyer had a parent who was Jewish. Even Karl Marx -- who was NOT a Jew -- had Jewish-born parents. But Gysi's mother was not Jewish, and his father was, at best, of Jewish ancestry. But having a single Jewish grandmother (paternal) does not make a person a Jew, especially if that person claims to be atheist and not Jewish. Poldy Bloom (talk) 23:13, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Arno Lustiger
He lived most of his life in Germany, but he came from Poland. His home town of Bedzin was part of Russian Poland and--when Lustiger was born--in post-WWI Poland. What's the criterion of Germanness here?Roger.Lustig (talk) 05:16, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Susan Deacon

Susan Catherine Deacon (born 2 February 1964) is a Scottish business executive, advisor and former politician who served as Chair of the Scottish Police Authority from 2017 to 2019. A member of the Scottish Labour Party, she served as the first Minister for Health and Community Care in the Scottish Executive under first ministers Donald Dewar and Henry McLeish from 1999 to 2001.

She was the Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Edinburgh East & Musselburgh from 1999 to 2007. She was Assistant Principal External Relations at the University of Edinburgh from 2012 to 2018 and has been a non-executive director of several companies. She was the first female Chair of the Institute of Directors from 2015 to 18.

Early life
Susan Catherine Deacon was born in Musselburgh Maternity Hospital in East Lothian on 2 February 1964. The youngest child, her parents were natives of Leith and moved to the village of Inveresk with Deacon's older brother in the early 1960s. She attended Musselburgh Grammar School where she was head girl and active in inter-schools debating. She studied at the University of Edinburgh, graduating with an MA (Hons) in Social Policy and Politics in 1987 and later an MBA in 1992. She was vice president of Edinburgh University Students' Association, and chair of Scottish Labour Students.

Early career
Deacon's early career was in local government where she worked for seven years in research and management roles. After a spell in management consultancy and training in the private sector, she became director of MBA programmes at the Edinburgh Business School, at Heriot-Watt University, which included managing Scotland's first Consortium MBA programme for companies. Deacon was involved in the creation of the Business School as a new graduate school within the university.

Meanwhile, she rose through Labour ranks serving on the Scottish Labour Party's National Executive and was a founder member of the pro-devolution pressure group, Scottish Labour Action.

Member of Scottish Parliament
Deacon was elected to the Scottish Parliament as MSP for Edinburgh East and Musselburgh in May 1999 and, though widely tipped for ministerial office, her appointment by First Minister Donald Dewar as Scotland’s first cabinet Minister for Health and Community Care came as a surprise to many. She had been education spokesperson in Dewar's election campaign team and had been initially rejected as a candidate by Scottish Labour's controversial vetting process, eventually becoming the only person to appeal successfully. Despite this rocky start, Deacon gained respect in the new Parliament and was regarded as one of Labour's most effective performers  – and was tipped as a possible future First Minister. In 1999, she won Frontbencher of the Year in the Herald's inaugural Scottish Politician of the Year Awards, and was nominated alongside Donald Dewar and Alex Salmond for that year's Scottish Politician of the Year accolade.

Henry McLeish reappointed Deacon as Health Minister when he took over as First Minister following the death of Donald Dewar in November 2000 and she continued until McLeish’s resignation in November 2001. Deacon was offered a further Cabinet position by incoming First Minister Jack McConnell in November 2001 but, by then pregnant with her second child, decided instead to leave Government and go to the backbenches.

During her time as Health Minister, Deacon led major changes in the governance and leadership of the National Health Service in Scotland and championed reforms in child health, mental health and older people's care. She was responsible for the first Scottish Health Plan.

A critic of the flagship policy of free personal care, she argued against its introduction saying future costs were unknown and may not be sustainable – a view rejected by the Scottish Parliament. She won plaudits for her strong stance against militant anti-abortion campaigners, though was criticised by the Roman Catholic Church for her position on issues such as teenage pregnancy and contraception.

As a backbench MSP Deacon served on several Parliamentary Committees, including Enterprise and Audit. She co-founded and chaired the Cross Party Group on Sexual Health and was involved in work on reproductive health and HIV/Aids both in the UK and abroad. The only Scottish member of the RSA UK Commission on Illegal Drugs, Communities and Public Policy, Deacon was a critic of Government drugs policy and opposed the Iraq War. Deacon was re-elected as an MSP in 2003 securing the largest Labour majority in Edinburgh. Although she had been selected in 2006 to fight her seat again in the 2007 election, she later announced her decision to not seek re-election to the Scottish Parliament. Deacon said she had had enough of the ‘raw tribalism of party politics’ and that she wanted to 'move on to seek new challenges and to channel my energies in other ways.'

Career after Parliament
After leaving politics, Deacon has held a portfolio of roles in higher education, business, the public and third sectors and has contributed to a range of governance and policy reviews in various areas of public life. She was Professor of Social Change at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh from 2007–2010 and, in 2010, became an Honorary Professor in the School of Social and Political Science, at the University of Edinburgh. She was Assistant Principal External Relations at the University of Edinburgh from 2012–2018 which involved developing the university's relationships with external stakeholders and encouraging greater collaboration between academia, policymakers and business.

In 2010, Deacon was appointed by Michael Russell, MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning as the Scottish Government's "Early Years Champion". Her report, Joining the Dots, received widespread interest and is credited with influencing policy and investment in children's early years development and education.

Deacon became involved with the global energy group, Iberdrola, following its acquisition of ScottishPower Ltd in 2007, serving first on the company's UK Advisory Board and then as a non-executive director and Chairman of ScottishPower Renewables Ltd. She was a non-executive director of ScottishPower Ltd from 2012–2017 and from 2009 until 2014 was a trustee of Fundación Iberdrola, the Spanish group's global educational and charitable arm.

Deacon has served on a number of other boards and advisory groups, including the Traverse Theatre, Pfizer UK Foundation, the Institute of Occupational Medicine, Dewar Arts Awards Trust, and the strategic review of the National Trust for Scotland. From 2008–2012, she was founding Chairperson of the Hibernian Community Foundation – the charity set up by Hibernian Football Club and, from 2015–2018, was Chair of the Institute of Directors Scotland, the first woman to hold the position. She is a non-Executive director of Lothian Buses Ltd, Chair of the Edinburgh Festivals Forum and a Professional Fellow and Advisor with the University of Edinburgh, and serves, in a personal capacity, as a Member of the Secretary of State for Scotland's Scottish Business Task Force. She is a fellow of the RSA and in 2017 was made a Companion of the chartered Management Institute.

Scottish Police Authority
In 2017, the Scottish Government announced Deacon's appointment as Chair of the Scottish Police Authority, the national body charged with oversight of Police Scotland, the UK's second largest police service. The third person to hold the position since the creation of a unified police service for Scotland in 2012. Deacon's appointment was widely welcomed, coming as it did on the back of significant criticism of the body and its previous Chair. Deacon signalled a series of early changes in the Authority including a more transparent and outward facing approach and the appointment of a number of new Board members.

Since becoming Chair, Deacon has presided over a number of changes in the leadership of Police Scotland. The previous Chief Constable Phil Gormley resigned in February 2017 and a number of new senior officers have since been appointed to the leadership team. It is anticipated that a new Chief Constable will be announced in August 2018.

In 2019, Deacon resigned from her position as Chair of the Scottish Police Authority. She noted that "the governance and accountability arrangements for policing in Scotland are fundamentally flawed, in structure, culture and practice". She suggested that in order to resolve these problems the Scottish government needs to consider how policing is scrutinised in Scotland and if, perhaps, there needs to be a better separation of politics and policing. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon rejected Deacon's claims and said that the SPA would continue to make improvements.

Awards and honours
Deacon was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to business, education, and public service.

Personal life
Deacon lives in Prestonpans, East Lothian with her husband John Boothman and their two children.

1843 in sports describes the year's events in world sport.

Baseball
Events
 * Semi-organised "New York Club" begins playing baseball at Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey

 * Guy's Hospital RFC is founded by staff and students of the famous medical school in London. It is today believed to be a constituent of Guy's, Kings and St. Thomas' Rugby Football Club which therefore claims to be the world's oldest football club in any code (though see 1839 in sports).  This claim is contested due to doubts about the club's continuous existence between 1843 and 1883.  It is now a rugby union club, playing at Honor Oak Park in Brockley and currently (2008) operates in London League 4 South East.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republic of Nagorno-Karabahk

 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 as an inappropriate fork. However, having deleted the history, I am recreating the article as a redirect. While we do not need redirects for every possible misspelling, this is a reasonably probable mistake for english-speakers to make. Rossami (talk) 06:32, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Republic of Nagorno-Karabahk
Republic of Nagorno-Karabahk, is a misspelling; 'Karabahk' not 'Karabakh'. Per Dante Alighieri's "not a speedy candidate..." I'm bringing this here. The main article is at Nagorno-Karabakh already and is hotly fought over (not by me); please see Talk:Nagorno-Karabakh. — Davenbelle 12:27, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * No need to bring it here, just make it a redirect to the correct spelling. --Zero 13:00, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Easy spelling mistake to make, so redirect. Average Earthman 13:22, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Nagorno-Karabakh is a region that is the object of a disputed between Azerbaijan and Armenia. They had a real war, not just an edit war. For a taste of just how hot people get over this issue, read about Ramil Safarov. The copy of the page at Republic of Nagorno-Karabahk is one of many created the other day by an anon, User:64.136.2.254, who also messed with a lot of redirects and every link to the Nagorno-Karabakh page. Theresa knott cleaned up a lot of the mess. This page is still around because a likely sockpuppet, User:Clarkefreak, reverted out the tag and made this page ineligible for speedying. I'm working with the parties to end the dispute. If I thought that a redirect was appropriate, I could have saved myself a lot of typing. — Davenbelle 13:36, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * I haven't been following the dispute on the page (and the British media appear to have largely got bored with the area several years ago and moved on to newer conflicts) so I fail to see why, exactly, a redirect is inappropriate. The article contains a misspelling, and the unrecognised self-styled Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh is, I believe, within the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Since we aim for NPOV, a Stalinist refusal to mention what is going on in the area is not an option, so the self-styled republic must be mentioned at some point in the Nagorno-Karabakh article. Unless someone can demonstrate that this spelling is widely used except as a spelling mistake, this article can only exist as a redirect. Average Earthman 16:12, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * This particular page, Republic of Nagorno-Karabahk, was created, just the other day, to express the POV that the region is no longer a part of Azerbaijan. The specific contents of this page was one side of an edit war and was being regularly reverted. Other pages such as Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, Rebublic of Nagorno-Karabahk, Rebublic of Nagorno-Karabakh, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Nagorno-Karabahk Republic, and Nagorno Karabakh Republic were also created or had an existing redirect replaced with the disputed content; note the various spellings. Many pages were edited to point to the disputed content instead of the Nagorno-Karabakh page. The misspelled ones are gone, excepting this one which doesn't qualify for speedy. It is a piece of snot that needs to go away (the spelling, not the POV). I have no doubt that it will if I write several more pages about it! This is all being worked on at Talk:Nagorno-Karabakh and Nagorno-Karabakh. These are the real pages; if the discussion there concludes that there should be an article with the word "Republic" in it, we would use one of the correctly spelled pages, not one that has a typo in its name. I, of course, agree that the NKR must be covered in the ariticle; I'm not one of the POV-pushers, I'm the mediator (unlicensed). I ask you to vote delete, please. —&nbspDavenbelle 23:28, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. — Davenbelle 06:14, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC) — No need to support a redirect for every typo under the sun. If you disagree, here are some other candidates: Republic of Nagorno-Karabake, Repuplic of Nagorno-Karabakh, Republic of Nogorno-Karabakh, Nagorno-Karabath Republic, Nagordo-Karabakh Republic, and the Untied States of Amerika.
 * Delete. Grue 12:29, 19 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.

Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette

Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (DLJ) was a U.S. investment bank founded by William H. Donaldson, Richard Jenrette, and Dan Lufkin in 1959. Its businesses included securities underwriting; sales and trading; investment and merchant banking; financial advisory services; investment research; venture capital; correspondent brokerage services; online, interactive brokerage services; and asset management.

The firm was headquartered at 277 Park Avenue in New York, New York and employed about 11,300 when it was acquired in August 2000, by Credit Suisse for $11.5 billion.

History
Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette founded the firm on the principle that no one else on Wall Street was doing high quality independent corporate research. They centered the firm around this notion and grew substantially. As research became more of a commodity throughout the 1980s and 1990s, they expanded into other businesses and grew dominant in high yield fixed income, or so-called, "junk bond" securities. A major factor in DLJ's underwriting and trading success with these securities were the employees they had recruited from Drexel Burnham Lambert, during Drexel's decline in the late 1980s and its bankruptcy in 1990.

By 1997, the firm was ranked first in junk-bond underwriting (up from seventh in 1990). DLJ, however, was not limited to junk-bonds. From 1990 to 1997, it grew substantially in the stock underwriting business, rising from 20th to 4th highest volume in the United States. In the lucrative business of advising corporations in mergers and acquisitions, DLJ ranked seventh in 1997.

Though never considered a powerhouse investment bank like old-line Wall Street giants as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, DLJ generated $3.49 billion in revenues with net income of $291 million in fiscal year 1996. This performance, in turn, pushed up the price of the stock of its majority owner, The Equitable.

According to Barron's, "In many ways, the Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette saga is the classic tale of David beating Goliath." By all measures but one (junk bonds), DLJ had significantly less capital, offices and personnel than its competitors. Yet it was aggressive in acquiring new clients, doing deals and making money. DLJ was termed the "new Drexel."

DLJ's online brokerage business was first called the Personal Computer Financial Network (PCFN). It was renamed DLJDirect in 1997 and spun off from DLJ in 1999. Following DLJ's 2000 acquisition by Credit Suisse, DLJDirect was renamed CSFBDirect. CSFBDirect was renamed HarrisDirect after being sold to the Bank of Montreal in 2002 and was eventually re-sold to E-Trade in early 2006. The Pershing Division of DLJ (Harris) remained until being sold to the Bank of New York in 2003.

Credit Suisse's acquisition of DLJ closed in November 2000 with a purchase price of approximately $11.5 billion. Credit Suisse still uses the DLJ brand for its private equity operations, including DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners. DLJ Investment Partners and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners both spun off as separate companies in 2013 and 2014 (respectively).

Both originally retained the 'DLJ' in their corporate names, with the merchant bank changing its name to aPriori Capital Partners in 2014.

Talk:The Go! Team

Avocadp Window?
What on earth is this? Even assuming it's a typo for "Avocado Window", Google doesn't bring up any mention of it in association with The Go! Team (seems to be a popular furniture add-on for The Sims 2 though!). No mention on the band's web site, no entry on discogs.com, no plays on last.fm. Removing this CD single entry until someone can provide evidence that it actually exists. --Sonance (talk) 17:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Get It Together on LittleBigWorld Demo
Yahoo.com has added two demos for the forthcoming Sony videogame LittleBigPlanet and both video demos feature Get It Together. This has been added to the "Featured On" section. I hope that's cool! Generic248 (talk) 19:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

New album, 'Proof of Youth', leaked
Just wondering if anyone wanted to incorporate the fact that The Go! Team's new album, Proof of Youth, has been leaked onto the net? --JJMan 18:15, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Article sort-out
Whole thing needed organising really, too many references for their tracks being used for adverts (do we really need to know about the use of a track on a public radio station?). Multiple links to the same articles were on there too, and I've partially sorted them. Next album should help the article along nicely, can't wait :) The Hurball Company 12:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Google test
Google test: 205,000 google hits for "The Go! Team". Kappa 12:29, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Update: now 170,000, dropping (nothing recently released, probably). Should spike when they get their next album out. As an aside, The Go! Team are absolutely fantastic. Tyrhinis 21:15, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Relevant in my opinion, stumbled upon a song of theirs on and came looking for them on Wikipedia. 81.221.145.80 08:06, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Number of drummers
The intro says they have four drummers - I thought it was two? Is the "four drummers" because four of them can drum (or four of them drum when they are recording in the studio)? There are only two drummers when they play live. I have changed the article text to 2, but feel free to correct me. Ends Of Invention 11:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Probably refering to the fact that 4 people within the band can play the drums. They often switch around playing live, hence the confusion --Rilstix 12:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Featured on section
I think that this section should be removed as it is basically trivia. Any successful band's music will appear on compilation albums and be licensed for use in ads, TV shows, etc, so this is nothing special. This is especially the case as the songs in question were first released as either singles or on albums. Nick Dowling (talk) 09:57, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As no-one seems to oppose this, I've just removed the section. Nick Dowling (talk) 09:03, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The Power is On
The song "The Power is On" from the album "Thunder, Lightening, Strike" is heavily used in the NFLs 'Play 60' ad campaign

two versions of thunder, lightning, strike
i found that there are two different versions of thunder, lightning, strike. one with a different female vocalist on the tracks with her, and a more polished version of everyone's a vip to someone. i don't know all the details, obviously, but if someone does, they should add it in somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbogar1 (talk • contribs) 20:28, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

primary topic
In ictu oculi recently moved this page from The Go! Team to disambiguate from The Go Team, which was moved to The Go Team (American band). however, i think that this page could be considered the primary topic, as it is viewed 2-3 times more than the other article. wouldn't it make more sense to have this page be The Go! Team with a hatnote distinguishing them from the American band, which would retain the parenthetical disambiguation? ~ Boomur [☎] 17:06, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:RECENT will always apply 1980s vs 2000s. So WP:PRIMARYTOPIC really requires an absolute overwhelming view plus long term significance. It's the second point here that might be the problem. Not that the The Go! Team (UK band) doesn't match, though not outweigh, The Go Team (American band) (from the Nirvana biography and Sonic Youth Story etc) in books, it's that both bands are swamped with capitalized "the Go Team" concepts in everything from mass casualty and incident management, LSU sports, spy extraction, Christian missionary teams. It's generic and often capitalized, not that we have a go team concept article, just a dab page. Given that there is no clear primary topic, then removing ( UK band ) and ( American band ) brings us back to relying on the ! alone as supplying "UK 2000s not US 1980s". But you're welcome to remove (UK band) if you wish. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:22, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * ok, thanks for clarifying the duality of the primary topic policy. i see how it's a bit of a grey area! ~ Boomur [☎] 02:42, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

The Go! Team poster in movie The Day the Earth Stood Still
If it's a matter of there not being any secular reference to this fact, is not the fact that anyone one can see it with their own two eyes good enough to establish it as fact?

The Go Team

The Go Team was a 1980s band from Olympia, Washington, consisting of Tobi Vail and Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening.

Career
The Go Team was founded in 1985. As Vail described: The Go Team was about process. Sometimes we'd deliberately leave stuff out to incite participation in the listener. Donna Parker Pop, our first K release, featured all instrumentals but included the statement 'Make up your own words and sing along' - and people did. We recorded with some of those people later. . . . On the one hand we were trying to demystify music and encourage people to play songs in public -- if they wanted to. On the other hand, we actually liked what we sounded like, and we hated most of the pro-sounding jam bands/shredding metal-punk bands that played parties in Olympia. We embraced chaos and rejected mastery.

The Go Team released several cassettes and 9 singles on the independent label K Records. The records were often collaborations with other musicians and the musical style varied from single to single. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Billy Karren, The Legend!, David Nichols of The Cannanes, Donna Dresch of Team Dresch, Lois Maffeo, Rich Jensen, and Jeffery Kennedy were some of the artists the duo worked with. Billy "Boredom" Karren was one of the rotating musicians who played with The Go Team, and it was in this band that he and Vail played together for the first time, later collaborating in several other bands like Bikini Kill, The Frumpies, the upallnighters, and Spray Painted Love. They toured the West Coast as a two piece, adding Billy Karren for two U.S. tours.

Tobi Vail went on to form Bikini Kill with Kathleen Hanna, Kathi Wilcox and occasional Go Team member, Billy Karren. Presently, she plays with the band Spider and the Webs. Calvin Johnson currently records as a solo artist and with The Hive Dwellers, and continues to operate K Records.

I think this article needs to be rewritten. It seems to be quite a promotional piece for the company, so probably needs a bit of NPOVing... Vanky 12:32, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Linda Chavez-Thompson

Linda Chavez-Thompson (born August 3, 1944) is a second-generation Mexican-American and union leader. She was elected the executive vice-president of the AFL-CIO in 1995 and served until September 21, 2007. She was also a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee from 1997 to 2012 and served as a member of the board of trustees of United Way of America. She was the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor of Texas in the 2010 election.

Early life
Chavez-Thompson's place of birth is unclear. Although she has been described by some sources as an "illegal immigrant", other references contend that she was born in Lorenzo in Crosby County in West Texas and reared in Lubbock. Her father was a sharecropper, and she was one of seven children. At the age of 10, she took a job hoeing cotton in the fields in Lorenzo for the summer. It was a job she worked at for the next nine years. She also picked cotton for several years. She dropped out of high school at age 16 to help support her family, and married at the age of 20. She gave birth to a daughter in 1964 and a son in 1976. She divorced her first husband in 1984 and the next year married Robert Thompson, the long-time president of the Amalgamated Transit Local 694 in San Antonio. He died in 1993 of complications of lung cancer.

Early union activities
In 1967, Chavez-Thompson became a secretary on the staff of the Construction Laborer's Local 1253 in Lubbock, Texas Laborers' International Union of North America. When a tornado struck the Lubbock area that year, she volunteered to coordinate the Texas AFL-CIO's relief efforts. She enjoyed the job so much, she became a staff organizer for the North Texas Laborers District Council. Her first organizing campaign was to help city workers in Lubbock form a union. They were successful.

Realizing that public sector organizing was what she enjoyed most, Chavez-Thompson joined the staff of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees as an International Representative in 1971. She then went to work for (AFSCME Local #2399) in San Antonio in 1973 as an assistant business agent. She was promoted to business agent, then was appointed executive director of Local 2399, AFSCME's San Antonio affiliate. She became a fixture on local TV and in local newspapers. In 1978, she opposed a wildcat strike by members of her local, knowing they would be fired for striking.

She was subsequently elected to the executive boards of the San Antonio Central Labor Council and the Texas AFL-CIO. She was elected a vice president of the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement in 1986. She was first elected an international vice president of AFSCME in 1988. In 1993, Chavez-Thompson became the first Hispanic woman elected to the Executive Council of the AFL-CIO. On March 1, 1995, she was elected executive director of AFSCME Texas Council 42, a statewide council of the union based in Austin with 12,000 members in 21 unions.

Election
Chavez-Thompson was elected executive vice-president of the AFL-CIO after John Sweeney ran for the presidency of the labor federation in 1995. The Sweeney campaign initially recruited Chavez-Thompson in May 1995 to serve as the AFL-CIO's secretary-treasurer. But a month later, Sweeney asked Richard Trumka to accept that position. Sweeney subsequently offered to create the post of executive vice-president and asked Chavez-Thompson to be his running mate for that position.

During the ensuing campaign, Sweeney complained that supporters of Thomas R. Donahue, unfairly criticized Chavez-Thompson's qualifications for office. Donahue admittedly opposed creation of the position, but Donahue's supporters went further and claimed that "Sweeney's proposal to create a new leadership office for council member Linda Chavez-Thompson smacks of tokenism."

In June 1995, AFL-CIO incumbent president Lane Kirkland resigned. Secretary-Treasurer Donahue was elected by the AFL-CIO Executive Council as his interim replacement at the regularly scheduled Executive Council meeting in early August. After his appointment, Donahue announced he would run for president of the labor federation in October 1995. In a gesture aimed at unionized women and clearly intended to defuse the excitement caused by Chavez-Thompson's candidacy, Donahue named Barbara Easterling, secretary-treasurer of the Communications Workers of America, as his choice for AFL-CIO secretary-treasurer. On August 1, 1995, Easterling was appointed by the AFL-CIO Executive Council to the position vacated by Donahue—making her the first woman to serve as an AFL-CIO officer (albeit an appointed officer).

The creation of the office of executive vice-president at the AFL-CIO convention in October nearly did not happen. Donahue's supporters claimed that the office was created only to ensure Chavez-Thompson's election after Sweeney passed her over in favor of Trumka. They also opposed the new position because it would allegedly cost $500,000 a year to run and staff it. The charges proved effective with delegates at a time when the AFL-CIO could find few funds for organizing. A two-thirds vote of the delegates was needed to create the position, but the Sweeney camp's internal vote count showed that only about 57 percent of the delegates supported the proposal. In early October 1995, Sweeney began working to persuade delegates to delay a vote on the issue until after the AFL-CIO presidential election on October 24. His hope was that Donahue backers might support creating the position if Donahue had already been defeated. At the AFL-CIO Convention in Chicago, Sweeney's delegates submitted a motion on October 23 to postpone debate on the new position until after the presidential balloting. A voice vote was held, and Donahue (the convention chair) ruled that the motion was defeated. Sweeney's forces asked for a division of the house, which showed the motion passing.

On October 25, 1995, 34 unions representing roughly 7.2 million AFL-CIO members voted to create the office of executive vice-president. The measure passed by a mere 700,000 votes out of more than 13 million cast. Chavez-Thompson was elected to fill the position on a voice vote, and Sweeney (now chair of the convention) declared her elected by acclamation. Her election was a "first" in many ways: She became the first woman elected (rather than appointed) an AFL-CIO officer, the first person of color of either sex elected an AFL-CIO officer, and the first Hispanic elected an AFL-CIO officer.

Activities as executive vice-president
During her tenure as executive vice-president, Chavez-Thompson provided leadership in a number of areas. She spent most of 1996 on the road, acting as the public face of the AFL-CIO and the Sweeney administration's primary shock trooper. She helped with the AFL-CIO's electoral efforts in the 1996 federal elections, and helped with the federation's 1996 push to increase the minimum wage (a program called "America Needs a Raise").

Beginning in 1996, Chavez-Thompson headed up the AFL-CIO's policy-making group on immigration reform. She was instrumental in the federation's push for reform in 1996 and 1997, and helped forge a new majority on the AFL-CIO Executive Council which later adopted a radical change in the federation's immigrant policy in 2000.

In 2003, President Sweeney appointed her to an AFL-CIO task force on organizing. She also was active in the AFL-CIO's federal electoral efforts in 2004.

Political work
Chavez-Thompson has been a lifelong Democrat. In 1988, she was elected a delegate from San Antonio pledged to Dukakis. In 1992 and 1996, she was elected as a Democratic delegate pledged to Bill Clinton, and in 1996 was named an honorary co-chair of his re-election campaign.

In January 1997, she was elected a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and appointed a vice chair of the 52nd Presidential Inaugural Committee. The same year, she was also appointed a member of Advisory Board to President Clinton's One America Initiative. Chavez-Thompson was re-elected a vice chair of the DNC for four-year terms until she stepped down in 2012.

Retirement
On September 11, 2007, Chavez-Thompson announced she would retire from her post as AFL-CIO executive vice-president on September 21, 2007. President Sweeney nominated Arlene Holt Baker, an African American and Chavez-Thompson's long-time aide, to be the federation's next executive vice-president. On January 4, 2010, Chavez-Thompson announced she was running for the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor of Texas, and on March 2 she won her party's nomination. She was defeated in the general election by the incumbent Republican David Dewhurst in November.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
