Saturnian
Just a note of thanks for your valuable additions to the Saturnian article. Apparently the treatment of the form has changed substantially since Allen and Greenough. There's some data in Calvert Watkins' How to Kill a Dragon but not enough to really address the Latin fragments thoroughly. :) -- Smerdis of Tlön 14:34, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Question about Saturnian verse
Because I'm a Latin nerd, and because I haven't had the chance to study it in depth at College, and since I'd like to compose my own Saturnian poem, having already composed one in Dactylic Hexameter, I was wondering how the vowels work in this verse form. Are they long and short like Dactylic hexameter? The Saturnian Article says "syllable weight or the arrangement of light and heavy syllables was the governing principle." What the heck is syllable weight? I understand the scheme you uploaded, I just don't get "syllable weight" Drop me a line if you get the time. Thanks.

Arthunkal

Arthunkal is a coastal town and a major pilgrim centre in the south Indian state of Kerala. It is 40 kilometre south of Cochin city and 21 kilometre north of Alleppey town. It is a rapidly developing satellite town of Kochi. Arthunkal lies in the taluk of Cherthala, which is in turn a part of the district of Alleppey.

Pilgrimage site
Arthunkal is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Kerala. It is considered as a holy land by hundreds of thousands of devotees, of Christian as well as other faith. The village is synonymous for its church, which has the Roman martyr Saint Sebastian as its patron. The feast of St. Sebastian in Arthunkal is a grand celebration extending for two weeks in January. While the main day of the traditional feast or the perunnal is on January 20, the church authorities have instituted another on January 27, to mark the end of celebrations, locally referred to as Ettamperunnal or 'the 8th day of the feast'. Devotees from all across the state visit the church on the feast days. A procession, carrying the graceful statue of St. Sebastian, from the church to the beach and back, is the most important event of the feast. An eagle is seen roaming the skies, every year during the time of the procession. This eagle too has become part of the grandmother stories, about the presence of St. Sebastian as a guardian saint for the village.

Thanksgiving
Many devotees, who recovered from serious illness or closely escaped accidents, often visit this pilgrim site to offer thanks to St. Sebastian. It is believed that the saint has powers to heal the maimed, crippled and those with mental disorders. Thus many disabled people also visit the shrine. Devotees often express gratitude by crawling on their knees, known as Urulunercha, on the road from the beach to the church, and make offerings - small metal replicas of bows and arrows.

St. Andrew's Basilica, Arthunkal, Cherthala
The church, officially St. Andrew's Basilica, Arthunkal, was originally built by the Portuguese missionaries in the 16th century. It has a fascinating history. The church was rebuilt in 1584, under the then vicar Fr. Jacoma Fenicio, whom the devotees claim, possessed magical powers to heal the body and mind. Devotees fondly referred to him as Arthunkal Veluthachan, which in English translates to fair skinned father. Fr. Fenicio died in 1632. Eight years after his death, the church was rebuilt again, this time facing the west towards the long white-sand beach on the shores of the Arabian Sea. In 1647, the statue of St. Sebastian, struck with arrows all over his bleeding body (he was executed at the order of the Roman emperor for embracing Christian faith) sculptured in Milan, was brought and placed in the Arthunkal church. Arthunkal St Andrews Forane Church, the first Parish of the Diocese of Alleppey has been elevated to the status of Basilica on 9 July 2010.

Facilities
A large open space between the St Francis Assisi Higher Secondary school and the church, is the heart of Arthunkal. The school, with buildings sprinkled on both side of the road that leads from the church to the beach. The village also has a fairly equipped hospital, a nursing school, a Teacher Training Institute, a Central School, One English medium school( Fr. Xavier Aresseril Memorial English Medium School CBSE. It is under the management of a Trust named Aresseril Educational And Charitable Trust Reethapuram, Arthunkal ), and a small shopping center near the school comprising about two dozen shops leased by the church to local businessmen. State Bank of India, Alleppey District Cooperative Bank and Arthunkal Village Service Cooperative Bank are major Banks in this place. The church owns bulk of the non-resident land-bank in the village. There is another church in the village, which hosts St. George as its patron saint, about half-mile away from the Arthunkal Basilica. A fishing harbour is also being built in Arthunkal. The theeradesa highway or the coastal highway, is expected to better connect the seaside villages of Alappuzha, including Arthunkal, with suburban Kochi.

Talk:Al Gore/Archive 2

Poll on controversial material
Since Chris seems to insist on moving all the controversies to a separate page, here's a vote:

 * Leave all Gore Personal and Political Controversies on it's own page.

 * Discuss controversies in main article, and only split up article into separate pages (Al Gore's career, Al Gore and the Internet etc.) while retaining summaries in the main article if it gets too long (a la country pages)
 * —Eloquence 22:19, Jan 3, 2004 (UTC)
 * Tuf-Kat (I agree that moving controversies to a separate article is biased in almost all cases, including this one)
 * Scooter 05:59, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Kokiri (Haven't followed the debate here, but the article is unbalanced: too much focus on these relatively small controversies...)
 * Anthony DiPierro Everything went fine until academic career. We were going chronological, then suddenly everything changed.  That much detail does not belong in the main page.  Add a quick summary in the various parts of the page (early and personal life, and 2000 candidacy) and then split the rest out.  Same thing with military service and influence on the internet.  I'm not sure what to do with Gore and the Environment, so I'll abstain from that section.   Gore in the 2000 presidential election should be moved to U.S. presidential election, 2000.  However, I think the 2000 Candidacy leaves out some important facts.  It should mention the premature declaration by the news organizations, the early concession, the subsequent retraction, the court battle, and the eventual supreme court ruling.  I think chronological is a good format for this page.  But if it's going to change, then the whole thing needs to change.
 * Ryan_Cable
 * Jussi-Ville Heiskanen Agree with Tuf-Kat. In most cases splitting should only be done if the article grows unwieldy.
 * no point in hiding things. Jamesday 04:29, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * Discuss controversies in main article and there is no need to split it (see below).
 * Jiang
 * Jack 05:38, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Mcarling 05:58, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * UtherSRG 02:55, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Ilyanep 21:38, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC). List it as a seperste section

This is not a vote on whether all of the material is relevant or verifiable and should be kept. As instigator of this vote, I'm not involved in this page and have no opinion on that. It is merely a vote on the future structure of the article.

I personally feel strongly that only the second option is in compliance with NPOV, because having all controversies on a separate page increases the visibility of positive information, and decreases the visibility of (potentially) negative information.—Eloquence

 * I vote to leave on seperate page. If you look at people such as Nixon, Bush, ect. they all have such material under "Related Pages".  Doing this to the Gore article would violate the POV.  Leave it on it's seperate page.  ChrisDJackson

 * Real mature. Lock the page with it on there and stiffle the vote.  Real mature.

 * Chris, first, we have to assume the possibility that other pages are in violation of NPOV and need to be corrected similarly. Second, a cursory read of NPOV will illustrate that not all views have to be given the same exposure. Little-supported fringe views can be discussed on separate pages, such as the various Bush conspiracy theory pages. Some of the views presently in this article may qualify as such. However, stuff like the "created the Internet" quote is strongly associated with Al Gore even in the mainstream, and belongs in the main article.—Eloquence

 * It belongs in the main article, but a simple note about the CNN quote, the metamorphed quote, and the defense (it's not exactly what he meant, and he was influential) can then point to a separate page with more details Anthony DiPierro 02:41, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

OK, in order to stop the edit war I have protected this page. I encourage everyone interested in this matter to vote above and discuss ways to resolve the conflict that led to the protection. Since I am the person who protected this page I will abstain from voting. --mav 22:32, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * What the hell does a stupid thing like a quote that was taken out of context have to with Al Gore's life and career. Do I see anything about Bush's dumb quotes or the "Mission Accomplished" banner he stood under.  Or how about the WMDS he said were in Iraq.  If you leave this in here, I will write all that stuff about Bush and put it on his page.  There is nothing about the current article that is biased.  Saying Gore won the popular vote and such is not biased.  If you think things like the internet quote is important wait till I get ahold of the Bush page. c

 * It's arguable whether "Mission Accomplished" has reached sufficient political prominence to deserve being discussed in the main article about the current US President, but if it is used repeatedly in the 2004 campaign, I think that it certainly ought to be discussed somewhere, perhaps in a sub-article about Bush's handling of the Iraq war. If anything, articles need to be split up according to subject, not according to emotional impact of the information contained therein.—Eloquence

Well, you can bet if this is put on Gore's page, I will write about Bush going AWOL from the national gaurd during Vietnam.ChrisDJackson

 * Please do. I think an NPOV discussion of GWB's military career definitely belongs in the article about him.—Eloquence

The article is currently 30 kB long (approaching, but not over the suggested 32kB limit). If you read the controversies section, you will notice that much of it overly wordy (fails to omit needless commentary) and can be summarized. I elect to merge the controversies with their relevant sections. We are not a narrative. We dont need to say "this person said this...that person said that..." So the first two paragraphs in academic performace could read:

''On March 21, 2000, the Washington Post reported that in his second year at Harvard, Gore earned a D in one science course, a C-minus in introductory economics, and two C-pluses and a B-minus in other, unspecified courses and during his junior year, Gore earned a B, B-plus, and an A-minus in three government courses. (See United States academic grade.)

''During the 2000 Presidential campaign, conservatives, adding that at Vanderbilt Divinity School, Gore failed five of the eight classes he took over three semesters, and that Gore never completed his degree at Vanderbilt Law School, pointed out that this evidence seemed to contradict the popular perception that George W. Bush was the less intelligent of the two candidates. ''

Likewise, the first paragraph of the military section could be relived of it's overly general and didactic fluff:

Because Gore was able to stay away from the front lines as a journalist and served only two years in Vietnam, some conservatives accused Al Gore of insufficient military service, implying a lack of patriotism.

--Jiang 02:31, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * I think it is time to unlock this page, it seems the debate is over. ChrisDJackson

 * So what do you plan to do with the article once it's unlocked? help merge the controversies with relevant sections? --Jia ng

 * Regardless of what is done, I think users with a true NPOV should take the lead on this one - which User:ChrisDJackson honestly has yet to show. He has been offered chances to work with the users here, and has chosen not to, or to become confrontational, each time. If anyone cares to ask, I can see what I can do with particular parts of this article - I certainly don't have anything invested in it emotionally. Scooter 05:59, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, I will let someone merge them as long as it is done with the Bush page. I have always said I am ok with it as long as it is fair and it follows the guidlines as all other public figures pages.  ChrisDJackson

 * Your suggestion for the Bush page belongs on the Bush page, not here. Perhaps also you could bring it up on the Manual of Style (biographies), if you'd like to have a standard across all biographies.  There is a strong consensus that any splitting take place along the topical lines which have already been set, and even then this is controversial.  For the sake of consensus, let's hold off on all splits for at least a week after the page is unlocked, and then only after bringing it up on the talk page.  I suspect there's going to be a lot of editing of this page when the protections are lifted, I know I personally have a number of minor edits I'd like to make.  Let's get them out of the way and stabalized, before we even consider splitting. Anthony DiPierro 17:52, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I've lifted the protection. Go ahead and merge, or whatever. I won't be doing anything just yet. --Jia ng 21:48, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Photo
Chris, Who said the pic had to be recent? Your pic has him looking away from the camera, and has abnormal colored lighting, like what we should see Adolf Hitler portrayed in a Nazi propaganda poster. He doesn't look much aged. What's wrong with the original pic? --Jia ng 05:11, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I just don't really like it. It was from 1993 and is old. If I find a really good recent one, I might use it. I actually have the photo being used now autographed and framed on the wall, so I guess I want a fresh photo on here. Lol about Hitler. That pic was from the gov or Gore2000 in 2000 and was used quiet frequently. ChrisDJackson

You still have not shown where these photos were obtained. The current one is public domain. Anthony DiPierro

Someone please protect this page. I would, but I'm involved with the argument on Possible copyright infringements. Evil saltine 07:24, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Nonsense, there was no need to protect this page again. Anthony DiPierro 08:00, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * There was an edit war between you and User:ChrisDJackson, this is the general way of resolving it. Evil saltine 08:02, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * The edit war was over. Your protection of the page was completely inappropriate. Anthony DiPierro 08:06, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * It would have continued to be reverted back and forth, it wasn't over. Evil saltine 05:35, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * No it wouldn't have. I removed my sentence in contribution and was going to sleep. Anthony DiPierro 05:37, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * Okay, I had reason to believe that the edit war would continue. Evil saltine 05:45, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * I guess I can protect it, since I'm not directly involved in the argument on this page. Er.. I guess you can argue on here then. Evil saltine 08:02, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I told you all earlier that this person was up to no good. I try to keep this page very informed with info and pics, but people like him hinder this. His repeated accusations of copyvio and proving nothing was one indicator. Then he posted this pic on the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/upload/5/5a/Gorejob.jpg

That is vandalism. ChrisDJackson
 * If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em. Anthony DiPierro 07:33, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Anthony DiPierro: you deleted the following text from this article, with the edit summary 'removed copyright violation' : "Gore went on to marry Mary Elizabeth Aitcheson (Tipper Gore), whom he met at a high school dance in Tennessee"

Could you please show me how that is a copyright violation? A google search brings back nothing. Unless, of course, it is printed within a book. - Mark 08:00, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * I wrote it. Anthony DiPierro 08:01, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * Really? Where? - Mark 08:04, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * By submitting content here you release it under the terms of the GFDL. --snoyes 08:07, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * And by adding copyrighted images to it the GFDL is violated. Anthony DiPierro 08:08, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * I still fail to see the copyright violation. Are you saying that your text violates its own copyright by existing? Because once you submitted your edits, you released it under the GFDL and that is kind of permanent. A minor breach of the GFDL by a separate segment of the article does not revoke the licence for the entire article, or the entire encyclopedia. - Mark 08:11, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * By adding copyrighted images without releasing those images under the GFDL, you are violating the copyright on my text. Therefore I removed my text.  Read section 9 of the GFDL.  Any breach of the license on my text automatically terminates the rights to use my text under the license.  If you add my text back again you will be in willful infringement of my copyright.  Rephrase the damn sentence, or remove all non-public domain or GFDLed images.  Anthony DiPierro 08:15, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * From Copyrights: "However, you can never retract the GFDL license for the versions you placed here." And from section 9 of the GFDL: "However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance." As far as I can understand it, this refers to your text. You are not the original author of the article as a whole, just the sentence in question. If you wish to take this legal matter further, please contact the Wikimedia Foundation. - Mark 08:27, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * You are not permitted to add restrictions to the GFDL. And by adding images and creating an unlawful derivitive, you are *not* in full compliance.  If you add my text back you will be in willful infringement of my copyright. Tell your excuse to the judge.  Anthony DiPierro 08:30, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * Indeed I shall. May I ask which jurisdiction you intend to file this motion? Of course, you must know that no damages are recoverable under the common law unless you take reasonable steps to mitigate your 'loss'. In other words, if you do not attempt to contact the Wikimedia Foundation (the company responsible for hosting this copyright violation) then any legal actions will not be successful. - Mark 08:42, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * Punitive damages are available for willful infringement. Anthony DiPierro 08:44, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * Infringement by who? Those restoring your copyrighted text? Or the Wikimedia Foundation? - Mark 08:46, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

 * Anyone who infringes my copyright willfully. Anthony DiPierro 08:48, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

My apologies for inadvertently editing Al Gore while protected. Unfortunately the "rollback" function does not allert the admin to whether or not the page is protected, so I did not see that it was infact protected. --snoyes 08:25, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Root Causes
Instead of only voting, we should try to get at the REASONS people want to include (or suppress) information.

The cases of Al Gore and George Bush are related, because they were presidential candidates in a closely contested election.

Intelligence
Some advocates argued, in effect:
 * A president needs to be "smart enough" in order to qualify for office.
 * Bush (or Gore) is not "smart enough", as proved by (a) these quotations, or (b) those college grades.

Neutrality
Rather than suppressing or hiding the quotations or grades, why not provide a full analysis of the issue? Say that certain partisans (and name them) have argued that Bush is unqualified for the presidency because of (and give the partisan's arguments).

For example,

 * Norm Einstein, dean of graduate studies at Famous University, says, "Bush is too stupid to be president. He constantly makes grammar mistakes and other simple language errors when making public speeches."
 * Harold Hack, editorial writer for the New York Times, says that Bush ignores the best and latest scientific findings on environmental issues, and adds that "Bush scares me."

Or:

 * CNN quoted Gore as saying he "took the initiative in creating the Internet"

Furthermore, the neutral comment on the 2000 election is not that 'Gore won the popular vote', since this is very sloppy. In fact, there was no popular vote to win nationally, and had there been, voter turnout would have been altered (as well as voter choice, Nader, Buchanan, Browne, etc.).

Correction: add when hold is removed from website: Gore received a plurality of popular votes cast nationally, and [500,000] more than Bush received, but he lost the election in the Electoral College by [4] votes cast. Many people say he lost by one vote, in reference to (presumably) Thomas or O'Connor on the Supreme Court which narrowly decided, on one legal issue, to stop counting in certain Florida counties, thereby awarding the Florida electors to Bush. In fact, while the Justices may have prevented further re-counting and a possible Gore victory in Florida, the 5-4 verdict did not itself take away a 'Gore victory', only the possibility of one. Finally, the Supreme Court voted 7-2 that the further recounting in general would be inequitable to Florida voters statewide, and thus a 'Gore victory' did not hinge on 'one vote' on the bench. In any case, even with a 'popular plurality', Gore cannot be said to have 'won the popular vote' since there was no pre-defined method of selecting 'winners' of a popular vote nationwide (indeed, the only determinative method is a majority of votes in the electoral college, and lacking that, other constitutional outcomes).

Issues and views section
This section is a monster that looks like a set of lecture notes or points to address in a speech (most of the sentences are not even complete). This is very different from regular Wikipedia and encyclopedia style that addresses issues mostly with prose and only uses bullet points on a limited basis. IMO, this section unbalances the article and makes much of it a platform statement for Gore (who I happened to vote for, BTW). What does everybody else think? --mav 05:31, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I would advise you to look at Dean/Kerry/Bush and see that they too have a issues section. First you all bitch about a quotes section describing his views, now this. Either way, one is going to stay. There is nothing wrong with the way the views are layed out. You just want something to bitch about. I can't edit this page anytime without someone rearing their ugly head and complaining, and frankly it is getting old. ChrisdJackson

 * I just checked the Dean, Bush, Clinton and Kerry articles. The Dean and Kerry articles are pretty bad in this regard as well but not as bad as the Gore article is now (Gore just happens to be on my watch list while the others are not - I can't fight very battle). At least all these examples have complete sentences and paragraphs for each of the views section. I suggest that the views section be moved to another article and worked on there. A summary could then go here. --mav

images

P.S. ChrisJackson, in your last post, your summary said "What evidence do any of you have? None? And no I am not explaining everything I upload or add to this site, because I don't have to." The bottom line is, YES, YOU HAVE TO. As I expressed earlier today on your talk page: Any copyright violation in Wikipedia could potentially threaten the future of Wikipedia. Therefore, we must always err on the side of caution. Evidence does not need to be provided that an image is protected by copyrights.

Greenland national football team

The Greenland national football team (Grønlands fodboldlandshold) represents Greenland in non-FIFA international tournaments. It is controlled by the Football Association of Greenland. Although it has the same status as the Faroe Islands within the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland is not, unlike the Faroe Islands national football team, a member of FIFA nor of any continental confederation and therefore is not eligible to enter the World Cup or other sanctioned tournaments. Most of the matches they have played have been against the Faroe Islands and Iceland, but neither of the two consider those games full internationals. In May 2024, it was announced that Greenland had officially applied to become a member of CONCACAF.

History
The Football Association of Greenland was founded in 1971 to oversee the development of football in the territory, although an island-wide club championship had been held regularly since 1954. Greenland played its first international match on 2 July 1980 against another Danish territory, the Faroe Islands, losing 6–0. The match was played in Sauðárkrókur in Iceland as part of the Greenland Cup, a friendly tournament. In their second match on 3 July, Greenland played the hosts and full FIFA members Iceland in Húsavík, losing 4–1, finishing third in the tournament.

Three years later, they hosted the second Greenland Cup, however the 1983 format consisted of a single match between Greenland and the Faroe Islands to determine the winner. Played on 29 June in Nuuk, the match finished 0–0. Therefore, a few days later, on 3 July the match was replayed, this time ending in a 3–2 victory for the Faroese.

The third and final Greenland Cup was played in the Faroe Islands in 1984, and saw Iceland's return to the competition. In their opening match on 3 August, Greenland were narrowly defeated 1–0 by Iceland in Fuglafjørður. Two days later, they were once again defeated 1–0 by the Faroe Islands in Klaksvík, and finished third in the tournament as in 1980. Shortly after the tournament, they played a friendly match against the Faroese on 7 August in Tórshavn, they lost 4–2.

Greenland is a member of the International Island Games Association and has taken part in Football at the Island Games. Since 13 October 2005, it is a provisional member of the N.F.-Board and since 25 March 2006 it is full-member. On 17 October 2009, the team was accepted as a provisional member of the IFU. Greenland also played Tibet, another non-FIFA team, in 2001 at Copenhagen's Vanløse Arena. However, the team was composed of players who were of Tibetan heritage and not from Tibet themselves. The match drew international attention when China threatened to embargo Greenland's shrimp exports because of Tibet's contested sovereignty. Greenland won the match 4–1.

Future international participation

Greenland has been seeking to participate in confederated football since at least 1998 when then national team manager Sepp Piontek stated that he had already asked UEFA to look into the possibility of Greenland becoming a member of the organization. About the issue, former DBU president Allan Hansen stated, "Concerning the GBU, I’m not convinced [they] officially applied for FIFA and UEFA membership at around the same time as Gibraltar. As I’m informed, the GBU in the late nineties sent a letter [requesting clarification on a number of issues] but..there were no follow-up actions." Additionally, he stated, "I can't foretell what will happen in the future, but I have attended a meeting with UEFA, DBU and GBU and I'm convinced that the day DBU and GBU present a partnership agreement and a road-map for the development of Greenlandic football, UEFA will be ready to discuss options for supporting the development of Greenlandic football as well as football on an administrative level." However, another report from 2010 states that an application was submitted but other factors such as the admittance of former Soviet and Yugoslav nations made for bad timing of the application.

FIFA's approval of FieldTurf may allow Greenland to create FIFA-standard playing pitches and apply to play full internationals, as natural grass is virtually illegal in Greenland. The first artificial turf in Greenland was completed and inaugurated in Qaqortoq in September 2009. On 13 September 2010, FIFA president Sepp Blatter arrived in Qaqortoq and announced FIFA's approval of the new field, which is seen as a major step towards the country being granted FIFA membership.

In 2011, Allan Hansen, chairman of the Danish Football Association stated that he did not believe that Greenland had the opportunity to become a member of FIFA or a confederation immediately. However, in December 2014 the DBU and Greenland's GBU formed a partnership with the aim of having Greenland included as a UEFA and FIFA member by 2020. One of the greatest barriers to admittance at that time was FIFA's strict regulations on stadiums and playing surfaces. The DBU's support of a Greenlandic application to FIFA included financial support which would be used to replace the clay courts of at least one field in each of the country's four municipalities, with artificial turf. Additionally, it was announced in May 2015 the national government had allocated one million dollars to design a plan for the construction of a new covered national stadium in Nuuk. The intentions of the plan were to design a covered and heated facility that would have a capacity of several thousand spectators, with the plan to be presented to the Parliament of Greenland later in the autumn session of 2016. Although unrelated to the stadium proposal, the first artificial pitch was laid in Nuuk, the country's capital, in June 2015 and at the national stadium in July 2016.

Before becoming a member of FIFA, Greenland would be required to be a member of a continental confederation. The most viable solutions would be to join UEFA or CONCACAF due to political links and geographical proximity, respectively. However, the former requires new members to be recognized by the United Nations as fully independent.

It was believed that UEFA would vote to change its membership requirements at the 41st Annual Congress held in Helsinki, Finland so that they were more in line with those of FIFA which allows non-independent states under certain conditions. At that time DBU chair Allan Hansen said, "Greenland is in a pre-membership stage right now. I'm a lot more optimistic than I was five years ago." At that time, GBU chair John Thorsen expected that if UEFA changes its membership requirement, Greenland could have an application together by 2020. However, after the UEFA Congress, no mention of a rule change was made.

In May 2022 it was announced that Greenland had officially begun the process of becoming a member of CONCACAF and was expected to attend the body's next congress with observer status. It was anticipated that the association would submit its formal application by 2024 or 2025. The same challenges of the past, including lack of sufficient infrastructure, were expected to prolong the application process. Shortly thereafter it was revealed that the association and head coach Morten Rutkjær had begun to identify players in Denmark who have Greenlandic roots. The association also appealed to UEFA for permission to play friendlies against San Marino and Gibraltar but were denied as it was outside of the FIFA match day window. Instead Greenland participated in a tournament in Turkey in September 2022.

Kenneth Kleist was elected new president of the KAK in October 2023. At that time, he announced the association's intentions to apply for full CONCACAF membership in 2024. The plan was to hopefully submit the application on 21 June, Greenland National Day. At that time, he also stated that the association had been informed that it was "quite close to admission" in the confederation. On 13 May 2024, the Football Association of Greenland formally submitted its application to become the 42nd members of CONCACAF. The team scheduled a match against Turkmenistan the following month as part of a training camp in Turkey. Greenland went on to lose the match 0-5.

Electronic flight instrument system

In aviation, an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) is a flight instrument display system in an aircraft cockpit that displays flight data electronically rather than electromechanically. An EFIS normally consists of a primary flight display (PFD), multi-function display (MFD), and an engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS) display. Early EFIS models used cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, but liquid crystal displays (LCD) are now more common. The complex electromechanical attitude director indicator (ADI) and horizontal situation indicator (HSI) were the first candidates for replacement by EFIS. Now, however, few flight deck instruments cannot be replaced by an electronic display.

Primary flight display (PFD)
On the flight deck, the display units are the most obvious parts of an EFIS system, and are the features that lead to the term glass cockpit. The display unit that replaces the artificial horizon is called the primary flight display (PFD). If a separate display replaces the HSI, it is called the navigation display. The PFD displays all information critical to flight, including calibrated airspeed, altitude, heading, attitude, vertical speed and yaw. The PFD is designed to improve a pilot's situational awareness by integrating this information into a single display instead of six different analog instruments, reducing the amount of time necessary to monitor the instruments. PFDs also increase situational awareness by alerting the aircrew to unusual or potentially hazardous conditions — for example, low airspeed, high rate of descent — by changing the color or shape of the display or by providing audio alerts.

The names Electronic Attitude Director Indicator and Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator are used by some manufacturers. However, a simulated ADI is only the centerpiece of the PFD. Additional information is both superimposed on and arranged around this graphic.

Multi-function displays can render a separate navigation display unnecessary. Another option is to use one large screen to show both the PFD and navigation display.

The PFD and navigation display (and multi-function display, where fitted) are often physically identical. The information displayed is determined by the system interfaces where the display units are fitted. Thus, spares holding is simplified: the one display unit can be fitted in any position.

LCD units generate less heat than CRTs; an advantage in a congested instrument panel. They are also lighter, and occupy a lower volume.

Multi-function display (MFD)
The MFD (multi-function display) displays navigational and weather information from multiple systems. MFDs are most frequently designed as "chart-centric", where the aircrew can overlay different information over a map or chart. Examples of MFD overlay information include the aircraft's current route plan, weather information from either on-board radar or lightning detection sensors or ground-based sensors, e.g., NEXRAD, restricted airspace and aircraft traffic. The MFD can also be used to view other non-overlay type of data (e.g., current route plan) and calculated overlay-type data, e.g., the glide radius of the aircraft, given current location over terrain, winds, and aircraft speed and altitude.

MFDs can also display information about aircraft systems, such as fuel and electrical systems (see EICAS, below). As with the PFD, the MFD can change the color or shape of the data to alert the aircrew to hazardous situations.

Engine indications and crew alerting system (EICAS) / electronic centralized aircraft monitoring (ECAM)
EICAS (Engine Indications and Crew Alerting System) displays information about the aircraft's systems, including its fuel, electrical and propulsion systems (engines). EICAS displays are often designed to mimic traditional round gauges while also supplying digital readouts of the parameters.

EICAS improves situational awareness by allowing the aircrew to view complex information in a graphical format and also by alerting the crew to unusual or hazardous situations. For example, if an engine begins to lose oil pressure, the EICAS might sound an alert, switch the display to the page with the oil system information and outline the low oil pressure data with a red box. Unlike traditional round gauges, many levels of warnings and alarms can be set. Proper care must be taken when designing EICAS to ensure that the aircrew are always provided with the most important information and not overloaded with warnings or alarms.

ECAM is a similar system used by Airbus, which in addition to providing EICAS functions also recommend remedial action.

Control panels
EFIS provides pilots with controls that select display range and mode (for example, map or compass rose) and enter data (such as selected heading).

Where other equipment uses pilot inputs, data buses broadcast the pilot's selections so that the pilot need only enter the selection once. For example, the pilot selects the desired level-off altitude on a control unit. The EFIS repeats this selected altitude on the PFD, and by comparing it with the actual altitude (from the air data computer) generates an altitude error display. This same altitude selection is used by the automatic flight control system to level off, and by the altitude alerting system to provide appropriate warnings.

Data processors
The EFIS visual display is produced by the symbol generator. This receives data inputs from the pilot, signals from sensors, and EFIS format selections made by the pilot. The symbol generator can go by other names, such as display processing computer, display electronics unit, etc.

The symbol generator does more than generate symbols. It has (at the least) monitoring facilities, a graphics generator and a display driver. Inputs from sensors and controls arrive via data buses, and are checked for validity. The required computations are performed, and the graphics generator and display driver produce the inputs to the display units.

Capabilities
Like personal computers, flight instrument systems need power-on-self-test facilities and continuous self-monitoring. Flight instrument systems, however, need additional monitoring capabilities:
 * Input validation — verify that each sensor is providing valid data
 * Data comparison — cross check inputs from duplicated sensors
 * Display monitoring — detect failures within the instrument system

Former practice
Traditional (electromechanical) displays are equipped with synchro mechanisms that transmit the pitch, roll, and heading shown on the captain and first officer's instruments to an instrument comparator. The comparator warns of excessive differences between the captain and first officer displays. Even a fault as far downstream as a jam in, say, the roll mechanism of an ADI triggers a comparator warning. The instrument comparator thus provides both comparator monitoring and display monitoring.

Comparator monitoring
With EFIS, the comparator function is simple: Is roll data (bank angle) from sensor 1 the same as roll data from sensor 2? If not, display a warning caption (such as CHECK ROLL) on both PFDs. Comparison monitors give warnings for airspeed, pitch, roll, and altitude indications. More advanced EFIS systems have more comparator monitors.

Display monitoring
In this technique, each symbol generator contains two display monitoring channels. One channel, the internal, samples the output from its own symbol generator to the display unit and computes, for example, what roll attitude should produce that indication. This computed roll attitude is then compared with the roll attitude input to the symbol generator from the INS or AHRS. Any difference has probably been introduced by faulty processing, and triggers a warning on the relevant display.

The external monitoring channel carries out the same check on the symbol generator on the other side of the flight deck: the Captain's symbol generator checks the First Officer's, the First Officer's checks the Captain's. Whichever symbol generator detects a fault, puts up a warning on its own display.

The external monitoring channel also checks sensor inputs (to the symbol generator) for reasonableness. A spurious input, such as a radio height greater than the radio altimeter's maximum, results in a warning.

Clutter
At various stages of a flight, a pilot needs different combinations of data. Ideally, the avionics only show the data in use—but an electromechanical instrument must be in view all the time. To improve display clarity, ADIs and HSIs use intricate mechanisms to remove superfluous indications temporarily—e.g., removing the glide slope scale when the pilot doesn't need it.

Under normal conditions, an EFIS might not display some indications, e.g., engine vibration. Only when some parameter exceeds its limits does the system display the reading. In similar fashion, EFIS is programmed to show the glideslope scale and pointer only during an ILS approach.

In the case of an input failure, an electromechanical instrument adds yet another indicator—typically, a bar drops across the erroneous data. EFIS, on the other hand, removes invalid data from the display and substitutes an appropriate warning.

A de-clutter mode activates automatically when circumstances require the pilot's attention for a specific item. For example, if the aircraft pitches up or down beyond a specified limit—usually 30 to 60 degrees—the attitude indicator de-clutters other items from sight until the pilot brings the pitch to an acceptable level. This helps the pilot focus on the most important tasks.

Color
Traditional instruments have long used color, but lack the ability to change a color to indicate some change in condition. The electronic display technology of EFIS has no such restriction and uses color widely. For example, as an aircraft approaches the glide slope, a blue caption can indicate glide slope is armed, and capture might change the color to green. Typical EFIS systems color code the navigation needles to reflect the type of navigation. Green needles indicate ground-based navigation, such as VORs, Localizers and ILS systems. Magenta needles indicate GPS navigation.

Advantages
EFIS provides versatility by avoiding some physical limitations of traditional instruments. A pilot can switch the same display that shows a course deviation indicator to show the planned track provided by an area navigation or flight management system. Pilots can choose to superimpose the weather radar picture on the displayed route.

The flexibility afforded by software modifications minimises the costs of responding to new aircraft regulations and equipment. Software updates can update an EFIS system to extend its capabilities. Updates introduced in the 1990s included the ground proximity warning system and traffic collision avoidance system.

A degree of redundancy is available even with the simple two-screen EFIS installation. Should the PFD fail, transfer switching repositions its vital information to the screen normally occupied by the navigation display.

Advances in EFIS
In the late 1980s, EFIS became standard equipment on most Boeing and Airbus airliners, and many business aircraft adopted EFIS in the 1990s.

Recent advances in computing power and reductions in the cost of liquid-crystal displays and navigational sensors (such as GPS and attitude and heading reference system) have brought EFIS to general aviation aircraft. Notable examples are the Garmin G1000 and Chelton Flight Systems EFIS-SV.

Several EFIS manufacturers have focused on the experimental aircraft market, producing EFIS and EICAS systems for as little as US$1,000-2000. The low cost is possible because of steep drops in the price of sensors and displays, and equipment for experimental aircraft doesn't require expensive Federal Aviation Administration certification. This latter point restricts their use to experimental aircraft and certain other aircraft categories, depending on local regulations. Uncertified EFIS systems are also found in Light-sport aircraft, including factory built, microlight, and ultralight aircraft. These systems can be fitted to certified aircraft in some cases as secondary or backup systems depending on local aviation rules.

Derek and Clive Ad Nauseam

Derek and Clive Ad Nauseam is the third and final recording made by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore featuring their characters Derek and Clive. It also charts the breakup of Cook and Moore's partnership.

As a marketing ploy the record was initially released with its own aeroplane sickbag. Moore walked out before the end of this recording as he found his relationship with Cook untenable, particularly because of the level of vitriol directed at him throughout the sessions. The two never worked on a major project again.

Cook filmed some of the proceedings and these were released on the documentary Derek and Clive Get the Horn.

After 1.31 is released officially, do we....?
When 1.31 is official, do we go through the article and replace all screenshots not related to the 'History' and 'Damage model' sections of the article with v1.31 screenshots? I think yes. Newtwowiki (talk) 17:43, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Agreed DocVM (talk) 14:00, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Screenshots/Captions by Game Version
Since the game is constantly evolving, all the captions for the screenshots should include the game version number (1.29, 1.30, etc). It would help keep the screenshots time relevant. Newtwowiki (talk) 17:44, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Agreed DocVM (talk) 14:01, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Selective Realism
First of all there are not any third party sources listed which backup the statement of the section, which makes it even more obvious that this is just a statement of opinion.

It is also obvious that the reasoning behind this section is flawed because there will always be a lack of realism in a game.

Are there any (excepth the sections author) objections to completely remove this section? --Datenschleuder (talk) 13:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 * The selective realism section is just a troll edit. Completely unjust and unverifiable. This page seems to attract wikipedia trolls, or haters of the game. Vigilance is definitely needed to make sure this article remains unbiased and fair. DocVM (talk) 17:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Equipment gets ninja edited by developers very often. Latest ninja change: - Allied ATR doesn't penetrate Pz38t and PzIVD They also make unhistorical choices to address game balance, like changing MGFF/M belting.

Some of the equipment is over/undermodeled from the beginning. Like M4A2 Shermans mantlet and rotor shield, it's modeled as 140mm thick armor plate while in reality the thickness varies between 60-150mm with the mantlet and rotor shield averaging around 90mm together. 90mm vs. 150mm, pretty gross overmodeling of equipment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.22.31.109 (talk) 10:34, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

The game is a simulation, which by definition is selective and limited realism. Pointless discussion. Newtwowiki (talk) 18:16, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Externals links inside article
Moving externals links within article to ref list (Wikipedia:External links section 1, point 2). --Covi (talk) 12:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Fresh Start for 2010
I'm hitting RESET. :) I believe a lot of the old discussions were either resolved or very out of date. It was just a confusing mess to boot. Recently, I significantly revised the article to be more in-line with Wikipedia form/tone. I think the article is now in good shape and fulfills the intent of Wikipedia - ie, it's about general information, not a place to nitpick over every little thing we don't like about the game. There are plenty of game forums out there for that. In any case, the new year is a good time to start fresh so future discussion can be more focused. I thank Covi and Warthog for improving/protecting the article since, in the same spirit.

If you want something from the previous discussions saved, copy and paste it back from the previous version rather than doing a full undo/revert. Thanks, I know doing a full unilateral reset is a bit out there, but a think a clean slate will be positive so the focus can be on new improvements rather than old quibbles. Newtwowiki (talk) 16:31, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Newtwowiki, I reverted your change and created an archive instead, which is how long talk pages are typically dealt with (rather than deleting them). Please see the archive box at the top of the page for the old discussions.  Take care, TastyCakes (talk) 17:31, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Great, thanks, didn't know about archive. All good either way. Newtwowiki (talk) 18:09, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem, thanks for trying to clean up the talk page, it was definitely too long and messy. TastyCakes (talk) 18:14, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Pay-to-Play
I think one of the big issues that people would be interested in is would be the subscription model? Is it pay-to-play or free? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.29.23 (talk) 06:41, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

 * It's pay to play. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.170.209.138 (talk) 18:40, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Should the subscription prices and builder program be included in the article? DocVM (talk) 14:01, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Screenshot sizes
There are several screenshots with a size of 325×244, stating in the file description under "Low resolution? " "No - this is a common screen resolution as players would experience it, so a higher resolution image gives a more accurate understanding of the game."

This is very misleading, since 325x244 surely isn not a common screen resolution and might lead to the assumption that BGE is a game you can only play in windowed mode. It would be good, if this could be changed, imho.

94.216.250.74 (talk) 08:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Declining User Base
I believe there should be some mention of the continually declining size of the player base. Recent updates have been released for times when there are only enough players for ONE attack order on each side. I know many people who refuse to play the game as there is often very little action (due to the lack of players). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.31.235.110 (talk) 20:42, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

 * What? If we're going by anecdotal evidence, then the new patch has brought a lot of new players into the game. However we're not, so unless you have a source, please refrain from adding speculation. DocVM (talk) 13:57, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Requirements
This section lists several "excuses" for the extraordinary high system requirements.

The client system performs military grade simulation calculations regarding ordnance and weapon performance, damage models, collision, and movement across the terrain

'''These computations do not require a significant CPU time. This assertion is based on measurements on the client.'''

WWIIOL also models a 6000 meter visual range, compared to a more standard 500 meter range typical in other games, significantly increasing the number of items that may need to be rendered, and thus decreasing the number of polygons used to detail each item.

There are several other games (Arma2, Battle of Britain, etc.) which feature even larger scenes with greater complexity but have much lower system requirements.

I am going to replace this with the observations by several players that there are many situations in the game where even the fastest CPUs on the market cannot mentain a frame rate of 30 FPS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.235.81.63 (talk) 15:28, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've removed the information you added since it's not supported by a reliable source. Even if it was, going into such details as precise frame rate counts is discouraged because Wikipedia is not a gameguide. Eik Corell (talk) 15:36, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
