John Forrest Dillon

John Forrest Dillon (December 25, 1831 – May 6, 1914) was an American attorney in Iowa and New York, a justice of the Iowa Supreme Court and a United States circuit judge of the United States Circuit Court for the Eighth Circuit. He authored a highly influential treatise on the power of states over municipal governments.

Education and career
Born on December 25, 1831, in Northampton, (then part of Montgomery County, now part of Fulton County), New York, Dillon received a Doctor of Medicine in 1850 from the University of Iowa. He read law in 1852. He entered private practice in Davenport, Iowa from 1852 to 1853. He was county attorney for Scott County, Iowa from 1853 to 1858. He was a Judge of the Iowa District Court for the Seventh Judicial District from 1858 to 1862. He was a justice of the Iowa Supreme Court from 1862 to 1868.

Federal judicial service
Dillon was nominated by President Ulysses S. Grant on December 9, 1869, to the United States Circuit Court for the Eighth Circuit, to a new seat authorized by 16 Stat. 44. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 22, 1869, and received his commission the same day. His service terminated on September 1, 1879, due to his resignation.

Scholarship and notable ruling
While on the federal bench, Dillon wrote Municipal Corporations (1872), one of the earliest systematic studies of the subject. He also authored Removal of Cases from State Courts to Federal Courts and Municipal Bonds, both in 1876. On February 17, 1876, during the Whiskey Ring graft prosecutions, Justice Dillon ruled Ulysses S. Grant's deposition for Orville E. Babcock was admissible in court.

Later career
Following his resignation from the federal bench, Dillon was a professor of law for Columbia University from 1879 to 1882. He resumed private practice in New York City, New York from 1882 to 1914. He was the Storrs professor of law at Yale University from 1891 to 1892, during which time he wrote The Laws and Jurisprudence of England and America: Being a Series of Lectures Delivered Before Yale University. He died on May 6, 1914, in New York City.

Memorial
A memorial fountain to Dillon was erected in downtown Davenport in 1918, carved of Indiana limestone in Romanesque style, by sculptor Harry Liva.

Family
In 1853, Dillon married Anna Margery Price (born June 19, 1835). They had two sons and a daughter. Anna and their daughter, Mrs. Annie Dillon Oliver, died in the sinking of the French ocean liner SS La Bourgogne in July 1898. Dillon's oldest son, Hiram Price Dillon (1855–1918), became a lawyer in Iowa and a Master of Chancery in federal court.

John F. Dillon's sister married John B. Jordan, a merchant. That marriage produced a daughter, Jennie, who married Louis Stengel. Louis and Jennie Stengel were the parents of Casey Stengel, who had a long career as a baseball player and manager.

Dillon's Rule
The theory of state preeminence over local governments was expressed as Dillon's Rule in an 1868 case: "Municipal corporations owe their origin to, and derive their powers and rights wholly from, the legislature. It breathes into them the breath of life, without which they cannot exist. As it creates, so may it destroy. If it may destroy, it may abridge and control". By contrast, the Cooley Doctrine, or the doctrine of home rule, expressed the theory of an inherent right to local self-determination. In a concurring opinion, Michigan Supreme Court Judge Thomas M. Cooley in 1871 stated, "local government is a matter of absolute right; and the state cannot take it away".

In Municipal Corporations (1872), Dillon explained that in contrast to the powers of states, which are unlimited but for express restrictions under the state or federal constitution, municipalities only have the powers that are expressly granted to them. This formulation of the scope of municipal power came to be known as "Dillon's Rule."

The Supreme Court of the United States cited Municipal Corporations and fully adopted Dillon's emphasis on state power over municipalities in Hunter v. Pittsburgh, which upheld the power of Pennsylvania to consolidate the city of Allegheny into the city of Pittsburgh, despite the objections of a majority of Allegheny's residents. The Court's ruling that states could alter or abolish at will the charters of municipal corporations without infringing upon contract rights relied upon Dillon's distinction between public, municipal corporations and private ones. However, the Court did not prevent states from passing legislation or amending their constitutions to explicitly allow home rule. This constitutional allowance was reiterated in Trenton v. New Jersey, where the Supreme Court held that "In the absence of state constitutional provisions safeguarding it to them, municipalities have no inherent right of self-government which is beyond the legislative control of the state, but are merely departments of the state, with powers and privileges such as the state has seen fit to grant, held and exercised subject to its sovereign will".

Bergrivier Local Municipality

Bergrivier Municipality (Bergrivier Munisipaliteit) is a local municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It governs the towns of Piketberg (the seat of the municipal council), Velddrif and Porterville, as well as the surrounding villages and rural areas. , it had a population of 61,897. It is located within the West Coast District Municipality and its municipality code is WC013.

Geography
The municipality covers an area of 4407 km2 stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Groot Winterhoek Mountains in the east. Much of its southern border follows the Berg River, while to the north it stretches as far as the Olifants River Mountains. The Piketberg mountain occupies the middle of the area. To the north it abuts on the Cederberg Municipality, to the east the Witzenberg Municipality, and to the south the Drakenstein, Swartland and Saldanha Bay Municipalities.

According to the 2011 census the municipality has a population of 61,897 people in 16,275 households. Of this population, 70.9% describe themselves as "Coloured", 16.9% as "White", and 11.3% as "Black African". The first language of 90.7% of the population is Afrikaans, while 3.8% speak Xhosa and 2.5% speak English.

The municipal headquarters are in the town of Piketberg, which is situated slightly north of the Berg River on the eastern slope of the mountain also known as the Piketberg. According to the 2011 census, Piketberg has a population of 12,075. The other principal towns in the municipality are Velddrif (pop. 11,017) on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Berg River, and Porterville (pop. 7,057) on the edge of the Groot Winterhoek Mountains.

There are smaller agricultural villages in the vicinity of Piketberg at Goedverwacht (pop. 1,979) and Wittewater (pop. 848), and in the northern parts of the municipality at Aurora (pop. 578), Eendekuil (pop. 1,530), and Redelinghuys (pop. 574). Dwarskersbos (pop. 670) is a fishing village and coastal resort near Velddrif.

History
At the end of the apartheid era, in the area that is today the Bergrivier Municipality there were municipal councils for Piketberg, Velddrif, Porterville, Eendekuil, Aurora, and Redelinghuys. These councils were elected by the white residents, while the coloured residents of the towns were governed by management committees subordinate to the white councils. Dwarskersbos was governed by a local council, and the remaining rural areas were served by the West Coast Regional Services Council.

While the negotiations to end apartheid were taking place a process was established for local authorities to negotiate voluntary mergers. Some towns in the Bergrivier took part in this process, which resulted in the municipalities merging with their respective management committees to form new non-racial municipalities: Piketberg and Aurora in August 1992, and Eendekuil in January 1993.

After the national elections of 1994 a process of local government transformation began, in which negotiations were held between the existing local authorities, political parties, and local community organisations. As a result of these negotiations, the existing local authorities were dissolved and transitional local councils (TLCs) were created for each town and village. The transitional councils were initially made up of members nominated by the various parties to the negotiations, until May 1996 when elections were held. At these elections the West Coast District Council was established, replacing the West Coast Regional Services Council. Transitional representative councils (TRCs) were also elected to represent rural areas outside the TLCs on the District Council; the area that was to become Bergrivier Municipality included most of the Piketberg TRC.
 * Porterville TLC replaced Porterville Municipality and Porterville Management Committee in October 1994.
 * Piketberg TLC replaced Piketberg and Eendekuil Municipalities in December 1994.
 * Velddrif TLC replaced Velddrif Municipality, Velddrif Management Committee and Dwarskersbos Local Council in October 1994.
 * Redelinghuys TLC replaced Redelinghuys Municipality and Redelinghuys Management Committee in October 1994.
 * Aurora Municipality was declared to be a TLC in October 1995.

At the local elections of December 2000 the TLCs and TRCs were dissolved and the Bergrivier Municipality was established as a single local authority incorporating both rural and urban areas. In 2006 the boundary of the municipality was extended slightly to take over a strip of land on the left bank of the Berg River adjacent to Velddrif, which had previously belonged to the Saldanha Bay Municipality.

Politics
The municipal council consists of thirteen members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Seven councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in seven wards, while the remaining six are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 1 November 2021 the Democratic Alliance (DA) obtained a majority of eight seats on the council.

Flower revert
Hi. I noticed that you reverted a rather large expansion to the flower article today using popups (see ). While the expansion was in much need of wikification, it certainly wasn't vandalism, and reverting it without explanation or an attempt to keep valuable material therein will only serve to drive away new editors. I've only glanced over the 10kb addition, but at least some of it would provide depth the article lacks right now. I don't have time to deal with it at the moment, but thought I'd at least point it out to you as I'm assuming (or hoping) you didn't realize what you were doing. NoahElhardt 05:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

List of Alabama Metropolitan Areas
I have added a "" template to the article List of Alabama Metropolitan Areas, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

the Universe
I would like to know why you removed my comment about the size of the universe versus its age. I tried to make it sound as factual and neutral as I could. Distance, time, and velocity are related, so it's difficult to say that an object traveled 45 billion lightyears in only at-most 20 billion years. It would have been polite for you to leave a comment as to where I'm wrong in my logic. I'm always open to learning something new, and so I would enjoy having someone show me how the universe could be larger than the speed of light would allow. 71.209.28.76 04:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Clarke Whale Museum Interviews and Exhibits
He Sengkang, I sent you an email, but maybe you're busy. I was wondering why you reverted - as you don't seem to have left any explanation. If like with the Flower revert, you are suspecting copyvio, I can assure you that is not the case, as I created the video content being referenced myself. The Clarke Whale Museum on Pico Azores has many useful exhibits on sperm whales and giant squid, and in the interviews (of which there are 5 on the referenced external page) Prof. Malcolm Clarke discusses and shows us around the museum, and talks in depth about the anatomy of sperm whales (which he has studied for about 40 years). The films also include footage of the lifesize sculpture of the largest whale ever caught in the Azores.

Unspecified source for Image:Kusu island.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kusu island.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

Please warn vandals after reverting their edits
Hello. I'm in agreement with the recent revert you made on Astronomy. Not sure if you already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Best regards, Belovedfreak 09:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes i know. Thanks. —Sengkang 03:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Use WP:TWINKLE, it will open a new window after reverting the vandal. Its very useful. There are extra tabs and you just select from there. If you want to report, its also very easy, you just need to click the report tab. Just copy the script to your monobook. Terence 09:50, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I presume TW cannot be used concurrently with popups. Popups is already causing crashes when I use Firefox. Any similar problems with TW? —Sengkang 02:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * TW is better than popups. TW doesn't crash at all, albeit sometimes the TW tabs do not work. However, its still okay and at least you can still revert even though the tabs do not work. This is for my desktop only. And TW does not work for IE. Terence 04:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Redundant categories
Please don't place everything under Cat:Sentosa Express and Cat:Sentosa and Cat:Southern Islands --> C:Sentosa Express is already in C:Sentosa, which is in C:Southern Islands. Jpatokal 09:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Southern Islands is the planning area for all geographical locations in Sentosa, a move similar to the categorisation of all locations under the other 54 planning areas in Singapore. This is similar to what has been done for places along Orchard Road, where a separate generic category has been created for all places along Orchard Road, and another created for all locations under the Orchard Planning Area. The former specifies the generic geographical location "Orchard Road" while the latter the planning area "Orchard" aka "Orchard Planning Area" as per the Urban Redevelopment Authority. Same for Chinatown and Tanjong Pagar, where locations can fall under the distinct planning areas of Downtown Core or Outram. This makes the locating of places in the Southern Islands Planning Area easier. Hope this clarifies. Hence, it is not redundant per se in that the separate categories serve different purposes.

Personal Attack?
You recently removed some vandalism from Eris (dwarf planet), saying, in your edit summary, that the vandalism had been posted by me. I would never do such a thing, and would like to know why I am accused of this, especially since, if you look at the edit history, it is clear that I did not resort to vandalism, and that the harmful edit was left by User:203.214.110.143 (see diffs).

Not reverting your edits. Please, i don't resort to childish antics such as personal attacks! haha....—Sengkang 15:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

One thing though. What happened to the Golden Landmark Hotel article? I have stayed there twice and I know ther eused to be an article on it. Is it possible you could write one on it without it seeming like an advert? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 09:44, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, it was deleted due to Afd. You can look at the recent spate of deletion or suggested deletion of Singapore hotel articles at WikiProject Deletion sorting/Singapore.

Greetings, Sengkang!
I understand that you are a veteran SGpedian and a prolific writer of Singapore-related DYKs. However, how many GAs have you written? On WT:SG!, I suggested we quickly launch the GA drive and increase our GA count from 8 to 10 within a month. You may wish to adopt at least one of the following articles and collaborate with other SGpedians to improve it to GA status: Singapore, Singapore 2006 and The Singapore Stone. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 15:14, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Kempeitai East District Branch
Thk u for yr assessment on the abv but I wld greatly appreciate if u cld include fair comment (See an example here) on your justification as a 'Start Class' which I'm keen to know why. By including comments on an article's assessment, it wld be meaningful to both the original creator or subsequent editors to understand the basis of its merits and deficiencies for improvement. Due to my involvement & interaction with some WikiProject groups like Schools, Military History & Macau in which such practice is commonly adopted, I hope to see senior SG editors like u adopt such best practices for the betterment of the SGpedia community too. Rgds -- Aldwinteo 05:00, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've re-evaluated the article and upgraded it to "B" class. Kudos for the good articles that you have created. Your well-researched articles serve as a model for all SGpedians, including myself. —Sengkang 04:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Thk u for yr re-evaluation. As a guide next time, do check out an article's 'What links here' to see whether it meets the suggested 'Good Article' rule-sets. As for this article, it was identified by 'User:AlexNewArtBot/GoodSearchResult', WikiProject Military History, WikiProject China & more. Tat's y I was curious on yr assessment criteria earlier. Upon receiving such positive feedback or being prodded by a DYK reviewer, then will I proceed to self-nominate the article if no one do so earlier so as not to miss its nomination dateline.

Copywright is a serious issue. Surely you don't want to see this article deleted The Fullerton Singapore. It seriously needs addressing asap <font style="color:#fef;background:navy;">♦ Sir Blofeld ♦      <font size="-4"><font color="Navy">"Talk"? 11:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I've put the The Fullerton Singapore up for speedy deletion as it is has been sitting there for weeks with copywright. As you keep generating new articles it is clear you don't regard copywright or this article important. I am a great fan of your work you know this but copywright is unacceptable. <font style="color:#fef;background:navy;">♦ Sir Blofeld ♦     <font size="-4"><font color="Navy">"Talk"? 09:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

But you can't wait weeks with copywright. Garion has deleted your article and stubbed it again because it wasn't unfortunately attended to and it had the copywright in the history. I'm a little surprised you didn't edit it particularly as you have been putting so much effort into creating new good articles <font style="color:#fef;background:navy;">♦ Sir Blofeld ♦      <font size="-4"><font color="Navy">"Talk"? 18:15, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I note your concern. This is a building with lots of history, and there's lots of materials that need to be gathered out there to improve it. While I am creating new articles, it doesn't mean that the article is not impt to me. As specified in the copyvio msg, users are not supposed to alter it. As such, I haved saved a copy of it in my user space, and am working on it there. After I have completed the whole re-vamp, will I transfer it to the temporary talk page at Talk:The Fullerton Singapore/Temp. Noted that it has already been re-created and stubbed. In the meantime, I have asked some of my SGpedians to help. I am just a drop in the ocean after all...haha....You could also chip in to help too... Thanks. —Sengkang 01:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I am trying to understand the large revert (nearly 4k) to this article you did at 05:07, 27 August 2007. It looked to me that the previous editor's contributions were not vandalism, and it did not seem as if it were a matter of copyright violation, so I just wanted to know why it was taken out. (I am not the editor, btw.) Thanks. Milkfish 00:26, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Please note that the editor has simply copied a large chunk of the article and re-pasted it on the same article. Reversion comparison. Thanks. —Sengkang 00:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I did not see that at first, because of the difference in formatting. One cannot really see it in the "diffs" but have to search through the older revision to understand what's going on. Milkfish 02:33, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Questions regarding photos
Greetings from the other end of the Causeway. I'm just amazed at your ability to grab hold of so many shots from all over Singapore. I've been doing the same since the end of 2006, so I couldn't help thinking we have a common goal. Any tips on photography for Commons? - Two hundred percent 11:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Two hundred percent, I am just an amateur photographer who likes to lug a camera along whenever I commute. So, those are photos that I have accumulated over 2++ years. Nothing quite amazing though. Do you keep an album of your shots either in here or at Commons? —Sengkang 16:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Not yet, but I will when have the time to sort them out. Guess we're at the same footing as far as photography is concerned. Cheers. - Two hundred percent 20:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Uranium Edit
It was a tiny matter of the formatting in that section somehow creating a picture-overlap. The stop-gap measure worked perfectly in the preview, but didn't in the actual article.

Fair use rationale for Image:Tanjong Katong Primary School, logo.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tanjong Katong Primary School, logo.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Vandal warnings
Re: User talk:64.18.37.118: Please avoid giving warnings in the same month at a lower level than previous ones - it makes the whole system pointless.

Replaceable fair use Image:Monkey tree, Jurong West, The New Paper, Sep 07.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Monkey tree, Jurong West, The New Paper, Sep 07.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

"g" pronunciation
Is the "g" in "Corgi" pronounced as the g in good or as the g in germ?

Perhaps a pronunciation guide could be added to the start of the article.

Miscellaneous
Could someone please elaborate on the third bullet point that discusses corgi's as being considered "Damn it dogs"? The entire comment seems rather vague. I'm not certain what these "shows" are that it refers to, nor do I understand what it means for them to think "We are corgis damn it."
 * Seems like nonsense to me, I just removed it. -Ravedave 04:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I would just like to see some editing done to define which parts of the article refer to UK dogs/The Kennel Club and which refer to American (USA) dogs/The AKC. The article seems to go back and forth between the two rather vaguely. ALSO hate to think of merging the article with "Welsh Corgi". There is enough confusion with people thinking there is only one breed of Welsh Corgi without adding to it. MaryAW (talk) 06:17, 18 February 2015 (UTC)MaryAW
