Gómez Farías metro station

Gómez Farías metro station is a station of the Mexico City Metro in Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City. It is an underground station with two side platforms served by Line 1 (the Pink Line) between Boulevard Puerto Aéreo and Zaragoza stations. It serves the colonias (neighborhoods) of Federal and Gómez Farías; the station receives its name from the latter, which in turn is named after Valentín Gómez Farías, the seventh president of Mexico (he served intermittently from 1833 to 1847). The pictogram depicts a representation of the Mexican Constitution of 1857, which was promoted by Gómez Farías during his tenure as the president of Congress. Gómez Farías metro station opened on 4 September 1969 with service westward toward Chapultepec station and eastward toward Zaragoza station. The facilities are partially accessible to people with disabilities as it has escalators. In 2019, the station had an average daily ridership of 28,385 passengers, making it the 48th busiest station in the network and the 11th busiest of the line. From July 2022 to October 2023, the station was closed due to modernization works on the tunnel and the line's technical equipment.

Location
Gómez Farías is a metro station located along Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza, in Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City. The station serves the colonias (Mexican Spanish for "neighborhoods") of Federal and Gómez Farías. Within the system, the station lies between Boulevard Puerto Aéreo and Zaragoza.

Exits
There are two exits:
 * North: Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza and Relaciones Exteriores Street, Federal.
 * South: Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza and 31 Street, Gómez Farías.

History and construction
Line 1 of the Mexico City Metro was built by Ingeniería de Sistemas de Transportes Metropolitano, Electrometro and Cometro, the last one a subsidiary of Empresas ICA. Its first section opened on 4 September 1969, operating from Chapultepec to Zaragoza stations. Gómez Farías is an underground station; the Gómez Farías–Zaragoza tunnel is 762 m long, while the Gómez Farías–Boulevard Puerto Aéreo section measures 611 m. The station's pictogram features a silhouette of a representation of the Mexican Constitution of 1857, which was promoted by Valentín Gómez Farías during his tenure as the president of Congress.

It has a partially disabled-accessible service with escalators. The station was closed on 11 July 2022 for modernization work on the tunnel and technical equipment of the line. Authorities reopened it fifteen months later, on 29 October 2023.

Ridership
According to the data provided by the authorities since the 2000s, and before the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transport, commuters averaged per year between 28,300 and 42,100 daily entrances between 2013 and 2019; the station had a ridership of 10,360,851 passengers in 2019, which was a decrease of 1,800,444 passengers compared to 2018. Also in 2019, Gómez Farías metro station was the 48th busiest station of the system's 195 stations, and it was the line's 11th busiest.

Talk:Barbarism (linguistics)

Political Slant
Ahem! It would appear that this article has a certain political slant.

For example, the use of the word nucular instead of nuclear is a barbarism.

This is of course a dig at our friend "W" Bush. I don't think that stealthy political statements of this sort are appropriate in a politically neutral reference text such as the wikipedia. Political biases should be explicit and do not belong in purely factual articles such as this one.

I don't really care what some people say about the inherent political content of every statement, this particular example is gratuitous.

 * Rubbish. The pronunciation as "nucular" was common long before Bush was elected even the first time, even here in Australia. It's a metathesis that removes the consonant cluster and simplifies pronunciation. I think you're reading far too much into this example. This is about providing a common instance of barbarism that most people are familiar with - even if they, like I, have never heard George W. Bush actually say the word. In my humble opinion, this political statement is so stealthy that it's not even a political statement. thefamouseccles 03:00, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

 * I added the example back in, it’s gone too long without one. If any other anonymous idiot thinks this common mispronunciation specifically refers to President George W. Bush, first prove that it doesn’t refer to Homer Simpson. If anyone else thinks it isn’t a barbarism, replace it with one. Don’t just delete it and leave the article example-less. —Frungi 07:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

This is rubbish--lots of people are guilty of this particular barbarism. It first was noted to me in the context of another president of a different party--Jimmy Carter. Bongomatic (talk) 00:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

“Nuclear” has been around for a very long time — long before George W. Bush became president. I remember hearing many American people saying it back in the 1990s. Grand Dizzy (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Barbarism vs Solecism
Could someone please add and example to illustrate the difference between a barbarism and a solecism? [unsigned?]

 * I second the motion! Example, please! [unsigned?]

I find the identification "barbarism - morphology" and "solecism - syntax" to be misleading for several reasons.

It gives the impression that the two words are parallel terms within a theoretical scheme.

Morphology and syntax have such a relationship: they are technical terms with precise meanings, and they are designed to be parallel -- they are at the same level of description, and are (roughly) nonoverlapping and exhaustive within their sphere.

Barbarism and solecism, on the other hand, are only accidentally related, not very parallel, and full of connotations and innuendo.

"Barbarism" refers to foreign words (or possibly phrases), ugly new words, mispronounced or tasteless words, and reflects a negative judgement on the foreign status, bad taste, social status, or lack of education and refinement of the speaker. It involves morphology through choosing deprecated words or misrendering standard words.

"Solecism" refers to errors in grammar but also the logical absurdities that result. It can be either syntax or morphology (through inflection). It expresses a criticism of the argumentation or intellectual adroitness of an opponent (for example).

The word "barbarism" is harsher. "Solecism" is a rhetorical or literary term and more obscure -- even to use it is to establish one's ascendency. It is not likely to be used by a merchant's wife to complain about the language of the servants.

Further objections
My attempt to have this article deleted failed, and I see the force of some of the arguments raised: just because a term is no longer in vogue does not mean WP should not have an article. However, I am dubious about whether there has ever been anything more to say about it than some sort of rather woolly definition.

But my specified grounds for deletion still hold - this is a dreadful article. It does not give any sources (it has a wikilink to Fowler's Modern English Usage, which article does not mention the term, though it is possible that the work does - I haven't checked).

It essays a definition that is so wide as to be useless.

It makes an unsupported claim about the distinction between 'barbarism' and 'solecism', which I would dispute - to me 'barbarism' is simply a more pejorative term for 'solecism'. Certainly, the example that has now been added is in the realm neither of morphology nor syntax, but purely in pronunciation.

I will not attempt to improve this article (other than adding cleanup tags) because I don't believe it should be here anyway. But as it stands it is appalling. --ColinFine 15:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I changed my mind. I have improved it by replacing the specious factual statement in the intro by a more weaselly one (yers, I do realise that I have perpetrated both a weasel word and an unsourced statement, but that is precisely my gripe with the topic: I think that's the best that can be done with a bad job. --ColinFine 15:59, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

The point could be made that this word belongs in a dictionary, not an encyclopedia. It is not a  terminus technicus in linguistics or grammar, it isn't embedded within a theory, it isn't connected with a controversy or historical events.

On the other hand it does have a history (the colorful etymology from Greek), which is the most interesting point in the article. I guess this history is too long for a normal dictionary entry.

BTW the word is by no means outdated. While it plays no role in linguistics, it occurs in literature and in popular books and articles. (3,000,000 google hits.)

84.227.23.27 (talk) 17:56, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Requested move
Barbarism (grammar) → Barbarism (linguistics). This article deals with all forms of linguistic "barbarism," not just grammatical barbarism. –  AjaxSmack     01:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Discussion
Add any additional comments

If you intend to do some work on the article to make worth consulting, by all means move it. If you're just going to move it and leave it in its current sorry state, don't waste your time. (It's just as appalling as it was last August when I proposed deletion). --ColinFine 00:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

English examples
The article says that a barbarism is (paradigmatically) an expression adopted into a language from another language. However, the examples given for barbarisms in English do not appear to be from any language other than English; they just amount to mispronunciations, or errors of usage. The theoretical discussion does not accord with the examples. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.74.1.99 (talk) 22:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

"Pitcher" for "Picture"
Why is this on the list? The two words sound almost identical since the “c” in “picture” is not really pronounced. Grand Dizzy (talk) 14:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Just because people in your area of the United States (the country that has some area with a dumb dialect that mispronounces something) pronounces "picture" as "ˈpɪtʃər", doesn't mean everyone else does. As a Rhode Islander who doesn't have that ugly Rhode Island accent (and tries to mimic the pronunciation of the Anglo-Saxons when possible), I get enough people trying to tell me that "It's "wʌt" not 'ʍʌt'", thank you very much, so I don't need someone saying that their pronunciation is more correct than mine, thank you. Tharthandorf Aquanashi (talk) 23:15, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Era Style Dates
Recently I edited the centuries mentioned in the article to be more clear and in line with the Manual of Style (eg. 3rd century CE). The CE was however removed. I disagree with this edit because I believe that adding CE to the date helps the understanding of the text in case the reader is not already knowledgeable about Roman history. Brinkpw (talk) 23:27, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

 * I think that "3rd century" unqualified is the 3rd century CE to all readers. I prefer AD myself and object to having CE thrust into articles unnecessarily. The text you modified was text I just recently added. Srnec (talk) 03:43, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

This is the same as one of the centuries mentioned so I think my point still stands. It does not matter to me if it is AD or CE, both are equally viable in my book. Brinkpw (talk) 09:51, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I can understand your position. But in the Manual of Style there was a related example: "On the other hand, Plotinus lived at the end of the 3rd century AD will avoid confusion"

Francis Cochrane

Francis Cochrane,  (November 18, 1852 – September 22, 1919) was a Canadian politician.

Early life
Cochrane was born in 1852 in Clarenceville, Quebec. Little is known about his early life due to a lack of personal papers. His son, Wilbur, managed to uncover some information about this period, including that he worked for Marshall Field in Chicago during the 1870s before moving to Pembroke, Ontario, where he met his wife, Alice Dunlap. He and Alice lived in Mattawa during the 1880s before moving to Sudbury. While living in Mattawa, Cochrane hosted Prime Minister John A. Macdonald at his home while he recovered from a brief illness.

Municipal career
A prosperous hardware merchant in Sudbury, Ontario, he was the first president of the town's board of trade and later served as mayor of the town in 1897, 1898 and 1902 after winning a council seat in 1896.

Along with local businessman William McVittie, he subsequently invested in the Wahnapitae Power Company, which was contracted to provide the town's hydroelectricity services until it was sold to the Hydroelectric Power Commission of Ontario in 1929. Cochrane and McVittie also ventured into prospecting, developing the Frood Extension property in 1908.

Provincial career
Cochrane first ran for provincial office in 1902 as the Conservative Party candidate in Nipissing West in the 1902 election, but was defeated by Joseph Michaud. He did not run in the 1905 election, although Premier James P. Whitney nonetheless announced an intention to give him a cabinet portfolio. This appointment was delayed when Cochrane slipped while boarding a moving train in Sudbury and lost part of his right leg, but in May of that year, Whitney transferred the Crown lands portfolio to a new Ministry of Lands, Forests and Mines and appointed Cochrane as the new minister. Cochrane was then acclaimed into office in a by-election in Nipissing East, succeeding Charles Lamarche, who resigned to make the seat available to him.

He was reelected in the 1908 election in the new electoral district of Sudbury.

Federal career
After being re-elected in 1911 George Gordon, the Conservative MP for Nipissing, stepped aside to enable Cochrane to run in a by-election and he won the seat. Gordon was subsequently appointed to the Senate.

Cochrane served in Nipissing until 1917, and was Minister of Railways and Canals in the government of Sir Robert Borden from October 1911 until October 1917.

In 1917, he ran as the Unionist-Conservative candidate in the new district of Timiskaming. He was re-elected, and served as Minister without Portfolio until his death in 1919.

Honours
The town of Cochrane, Ontario was named for him.

Talk:The D.O.C.

2005 rewrite
The whole article needs rewriting.. I've done some, but He was easily one of the fiercest lyricists that the West Coast had ever witnessed--a combination of Ice Cube's scowling aggressiveness but balanced with a sophistication that would have rivaled KRS-One at his best. With a ragga-tinged flow, he could drop lyrical bombs with fury on "It's Funky Enough" or sublimely style for "The Formula."

Definitely needs a good de-POVing. --Szabo 04:26, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)

The lyrics presented in the OHHLA link have been misinterpreted (as they often are): for instance, in "It's Funky Enough", he actually says "Enunciate well /so that you can tell/ I am not illiterate/ no not even a little bit". The file says "An M.C. ate well/so that you can tell..."---which is wrong. Anyway, a lot of the lyrics on OHHLA are misquoted, because the people who type them up are mostly just "private individuals" who type the shit up as they hear it. Alexander 007 03:49, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I've tried to add some things and leave away/change some things. In any case, the D.O.C. was never a ghostwriter for NWA etc., because he's credited in the liner notes. Wathiik 15:24, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"It was the friendly competition between Ice Cube and The D.O.C. that elevated N.W.A's lyrics to the point of nihlism." I don't think the person who wrote this has any idea what "nihilism" means... which is kinda inexcusable on a site where you can look up anything you want.

What does D.O.C. stand for?
Does anyone know what the D.O.C stands for? They're obviously not his initials. --Glaze 20:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

What does D.O.C stand for.... That is a good question, could sum1 who knowz put that info in the article PLS. Peace Out! Wut Does it stand for?? I'll use a search engine and get back to y'all...

 * The D.O.C. stands for Disciples of Chris, as it says in "music video database." --Flesh-n-Bone 15:14, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Assuming Chris does not equal Christ, who is "Chris" ? --Rajah (talk) 08:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure about the Disciples of Chris thing? I always thought D.O.C stood for Dallas, Oak Cliff, which is in the western part of Dallas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.96.2.207 (talk) 23:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The D.O.C. used to go by the name Doc-T, but he changed it to D.O.C. so it would resemble N.W.A. since, even though he wasn't officially a member of N.W.A., he worked with them closely as a writer and as an associated act. OdensGod (talk) 06:08, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

 * This is correct. 2601:283:C400:BDC0:B5C7:547:3AF4:DEFD (talk) 19:32, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Blatant POV
This article more accurately belongs on a fanpage than an encyclopedia. It is highly biased, and filled with POV. I'm tagging it for cleanup. ---Jackel 23:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation
For someone who is not knowledgeable about this, it would be helpful to include how the D.O.C is pronounced (is it letter by letter - the D Oh See or is it 'the DOC')

 * Snoop talks of "the Doc" on Doggystyle, but that could be a reference to Dre. I say "D-O-C". Tim Ivorson 2006-08-21

Formally, it is "D-O-C" but due to the relaxed attitude of Snoop Dogg etc. it is sometimes said as "Doc" however you will have to base on context whether the person being talked about is Dr. Dre or The D.O.C.

It's either-or, and has absolutely nothing to do with any relaxed attitude Snoop may or may not have. In "NWA and the Posse," the D.O.C refers to himself as "the Doc;" In "EFIL4ZAGGIN," Dr. Dre says: "Some funky shit by the D-O-C."

Throughout his career both pronunciations have been used. From the album No One Can Do It Better, track 7 D.O.C. AND THE DOCTOR. He is referred to as "the Doc". On track 4 Comm. Blues he is referred to as The D.O.C.

Eminem
In Encore Dre and Em say "The return of the "DOC" then it says Oshea. Does this talk about the D.O.C. and Oshea could be Ice Cube???
 * I personally do not know but I thought it was a reference to Dr. Dre's upcoming album Detox

If they said Doc, then it could refer to either Dre or the D.O.C. But if they pronounced the letters then its definitely refering to the D.O.C. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.105.34.224 (talk) 08:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Dre has never been referred to as "The Doc." With Dre, it is either "The Doctor" or "Dre." With the D.O.C it is either "The Doc." or "the D-O-C."  In fact, in his first solo album, there is a song called, "The Doc and the Doctor," that illustrates this point.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.96.2.207 (talk) 00:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * In 'Still A Nigga", Eazy says "Dresta's an OG, Doc is a phony", and he's clearly referring to Dre, not the D.O.C.--94.64.53.50 (talk) 16:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Place of Birth
There seems to be some disagreement on where The D.O.C. was born, Dallas or Houston. I'd appreciate it if any further edits to his place of birth were sourced by a reputable source in accordance with WP:BLP. shoy 00:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
"In Jay-Z's Song Public Service Announcement (Interlude) from The Black Album he says 'Not D.O.C. but similar to them letters No One Can Do it Better'"

"The song "It's Funky Enough" has appeared on popular videogames Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, True Crime: Streets of LA and Madden 2005. Also, Whirlwind Pyramid appeared on Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and The Formula appeared on True Crime: Streets of LA."

These two pieces of information are trivia and should have their own section (if kept at all) because they don't fit with the main page. the Jay-Z quote probably shouldn't be mentioned at all. The D.O.C. has been mentioned in songs by many artists from Snoop and Dre to countless others.

this article needs a complete rewrite, it is terrible! craker

That is P.O.V and I deleted a bunch of trivia that was either false, already in other parts of the article, or not really necessary, like listing a bunch of songs where other artist's mention him. Drumac 03:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Dave Goelz

David Charles Goelz (born July 16, 1946) is an American puppeteer and voice actor known for his work with the Muppets. He is best known for performing the characters Gonzo the Great, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Zoot, and Beauregard. Goelz joined Jim Henson's Muppet team in 1973 and has been a key performer in many Muppet productions, including The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and various movies and television specials.

Early life
Born in Los Angeles, California, Goelz had a childhood interest in puppetry, particularly enjoying the children's television shows Howdy Doody and Time for Beany. After graduating from John Burroughs High School in Burbank, he attended the Los Angeles Art Center College of Design, beginning his career as an industrial designer. Goelz applied to work at Walt Disney Imagineering, but was not considered on the basis that they had sufficient industrial designers already employed.

Goelz went on to work for companies such as John Deere, American Airlines, and Hewlett-Packard. During this time, Goelz regularly viewed episodes of Sesame Street, fascinated with the design process behind the Muppet characters, costumes, and performances, leading him to wonder about the creators behind them.

Early career: 1972–1975
In 1972, Goelz attended a workshop conducted by Frank Oz at the Puppeteers of America National Convention in Oakland, California. One month later, following an invitation from Oz, Goelz attended daily tapings of Sesame Street during a work trip to Pennsylvania. During his visit, Goelz brought three puppets he had recently built. Impressed by his work, Bonnie Erickson, former head of the Muppet workshop, recommended that Goelz meet Jim Henson. Months later, Goelz presented his design portfolio to Henson, ultimately receiving a job offer with Henson Associates as a part-time puppet builder. His first assignment was to build puppets and design effects for a proposed Broadway stage play. However, the show was soon abandoned in favor of an ABC pilot, The Muppets Valentine Show, for which Goelz built characters and got his first chance at performing.

Upon returning to California, Goelz learned that his electronics employer had replaced him. He then set up his own shop, creating puppets and producing videos for industrial clients. Eight months later, in the fall of 1974, Henson offered Goelz a full-time position as a designer and puppet builder, and occasional performer in specials, while allowing him to retain his main industrial clients.

Returning to New York, Goelz began work on The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, where he built the puppets Nigel, Animal, Floyd Pepper, and Zoot, the latter becoming his first major character.

The Muppet Show and Gonzo: 1976–1982
In 1976, Goelz traveled to London to begin work on The Muppet Show. In addition to reprising the role of Zoot, Goelz was promoted to principal Muppet performer with the starring role of The Great Gonzo. The puppet previously debuted in The Great Santa Claus Switch as Cigar Box Frackle and had made brief appearances in the Muppet Meeting Films and Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, with different performers. Despite this promotion, Goelz was still employed in the Muppet Workshop.

Goelz recalled the hectic schedule of working full-time behind the scenes and in front of the cameras, describing his typical day as involving running back and forth between making puppets and performing. He admitted that he did not know anything about performing at the time and had no training for it. At the end of the first season, Goelz asked Henson if he could return the following year solely as a performer, to which Henson agreed.

During the first season of the show, Gonzo was still being developed. Initially, Goelz was concerned about finding the right voice for the character. He conceived the voice on the morning of the first taping. Goelz later recalled that he believed he had the weakest voice among the Muppet performers and felt anxious about singing for the first time.

Goelz viewed Gonzo as a misfit and out of place, mirroring his own feelings as a performer. The early design of Gonzo featured a permanently sad expression, which influenced Goelz to give the character a similarly depressed demeanor. Goelz described the character's downcast eyes as making him easier to play, reflecting his own feelings of being an impostor in show business and learning to perform and puppeteer on the job.

At times, Goelz's portrayal of the character steered more comedic. Goelz ultimately began to feel limited by Gonzo's droopy eyelids, which made it difficult convey excitement and limited the character's emotions. After the first season, he asked Henson if he could build a Gonzo puppet with an eye mechanism, to which Henson agreed. Goelz returned to New York to make the modifications, allowing Gonzo to convey his excitement and enthusiasm more effectively. Gonzo's character evolved from a nervous, depressed failure to a manic, confident stuntman. Other facets of the character, such as his romantic fascination with poultry, were introduced in the second season.

In addition to the starring role of Gonzo, Goelz also performed saxophone player Zoot and scientist Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. In later seasons, Goelz introduced a new character, Beauregard, the well-meaning but slow-witted janitor.

Fraggle Rock and Henson's death: 1983–1999
In 1983, Goelz was cast in Fraggle Rock as Boober Fraggle. Goelz also performed Uncle Traveling Matt, Philo, and the World's Oldest Fraggle, as well as a variety of guests and incidental characters.

Goelz also worked on Henson's forays into the fantasy genre, performing skekUng and Fizzgig in The Dark Crystal and Sir Didymus in Labyrinth. In 1986, Goelz played Rugby Tiger in The Christmas Toy, later reprising the role in The Secret Life of Toys. In 1989, Goelz performed Digit in The Jim Henson Hour.

Following Henson's death in 1990, and with Oz focusing more on directing, Goelz's role as Gonzo gained increased prominence, beginning with The Muppet Christmas Carol. He portrayed Gonzo as Charles Dickens, a direction he embraced alongside his own growth as a performer. In 1992, Goelz took over the role of Waldorf from Henson. He introduced the characters Randy Pig and Bill the Bubble Guy in Muppets Tonight in 1996. In 1999, Gonzo's role in Muppets From Space marked Goelz's first leading role in a Muppet production.

Goelz puppeteered the face of Earl Sinclair in Dinosaurs during the show's first two seasons. From 1996 to 1998, he performed Stinky the Skunk in Jim Henson's Animal Show and Humongous Chicken in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland.

Continued career: 2000–present
Goelz continues to regularly perform in new Muppet productions. In 2011 and 2014, he reprised his roles as Gonzo, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Zoot, Waldorf, Beauregard and other signature characters in The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted. In 2023, Goelz performed Zoot in the Disney+ series The Muppets Mayhem.

In 2015, Goelz voiced Subconscious Guard Frank in the Pixar film Inside Out. He reprised the role as Mind Cop Frank in Inside Out 2 in 2024. In 2019, he voiced Baffi the Fizzgig in the Netflix original series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Since 2018, he has voiced characters in various installments of the StoryBots franchise.

Goelz reprised the voices of his Fraggle Rock roles in the Apple TV+ Fraggle Rock: Rock On! shorts in 2020, with puppeteering by John Tartaglia. Following the success of the shorts, a reboot of Fraggle Rock was ordered by the streaming service. Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock premiered on January 21, 2022, with Goelz continuing to provide voices of his characters and serving as co-executive producer.

Personal life
Goelz is married to Debra Goelz, a writer and former CFO of Jim Henson Productions. They have two children.

Over the years, Goelz has sustained a number of injuries due to the physical positions Muppet performers must maintain for extended periods and contort into small spaces. These include four shoulder surgeries and a hip replacement.

I like the information you put on your page about Francisco, however,it's missing the day he was born and were he was born. To help other fourth graders, since the birth dale is required, I think that you should put his birth place and date.

Barra de Navidad or Puerto de Navidad México is located in Jalisco México, is an error to write "Route of the 1539 voyage by Francisco de Ulloa from Navidad (Acapulco) along the west coast of Mexico".

Reasons for mistaking California for an island
There is an assertion that Ulloa's reports helped people think California is an island, although they are described as clearly saying it wasn't, and the related Wikipedia entries on Hernando de Alarcón and Island of California both say that it was thought of as a peninsula for some time after Ulloa (eg in Mercator and Ortelius maps), and the island misconception came back later. Perhaps the reports did somehow help the 'island' theory, but it's not clear how, so a citation would be useful. Peace Makes Plenty (talk) 13:59, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Chicago and North Western Transportation Company

Left-hand running
Was there a reason that the CNW ran on the left?

--N9jig (talk) 23:52, 12 January 2015 (UTC)When the tracks were built the stations were all on one side. When a second track was built later the new track was on the opposite side as the depot, but since passengers wait for the train in the station in the morning the trains were run on the left side so they didn't have to cross over an active track to access their inbound trains.

There was a myth out there that it was due to British capital investors but that has been debunked.

Joint passenger operations with UP
I just reverted an anon's edit that changed the end of the joint passenger train operations back twenty years, and that claimed Milwaukee Road was created in 1955. The Milwaukee Road did run some joint passenger trains with UP, but the railroad was not created in 1955. It may be that some of the service was shifted to Milwaukee Road (I'll have to check my references again), but it was my understanding that CNW held onto the majority of passenger services that it started with until Amtrak's creation. Slambo (Speak) 17:51, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

True, the MILW didn't take over all of the CNW trains but it did take over the "City" runs in 1955. Schnauf 15:58, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Powder River Basin
I'm thinking about adding this section- what do you guys think?

''Powder River Basin The CNW originally planned to use its "Cowboy Line" as the connection to the Powder River Basin, however the poor condition of its trackage forced the railroad to look elsewhere for a way to move coal. A connection to Union Pacific was built at South Morrill, NE, and the new partner loaned funds to help CNW upgrade their Powder River Lines (as well as to purchase parts of BN's for joint control) In 1984, the first CNW coal train from the Powder River Basin departed with SD40-2 6935 in the lead and two UP units assisting. The volume of coal traffic soon exploded, and the 450 millionth ton mark was reached in 1994.'' Schnauf
 * Sounds good. I'll see if I can dig up the issue of North Western Lines again that covered the construction of the PRB connections.  Slambo (Speak)  16:59, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That looks correct. I have a book here, "Main Lines: Rebirth of the North American Railroads, 1970-2002" that covers that  (Except for the serial number of the lead locomotive.)  Here's the citation:

Members of the WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally.

Renaming
I'm not happy with the renaming of this article from Chicago and North Western Railway to Chicago and North Western Transportation Company. It seems to me that it's more appropriate to use the name the company had for most of its existence — the name by which it's most widely known. What was the reasoning behind this move?

 * There are no sources in the current article. What would be merged? Mackensen (talk) 13:22, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Haven't you read the deletion discussion? The society article would be merged to the company article, at least trimming it into a paragraph perhaps. TheGGoose (talk) 13:47, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did. In fact, I passed on closing it. I'm simply dubious that it's worth a mention and there's enough unreferenced material in the article as-is. I think an external link is sufficient. Mackensen (talk) 14:10, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Ball and Bar logo
In the Additional notes section is the comment, "In 1891, the CNW adopted the infamous 'ball and bar' logo..." which slightly confuses me. I was aware the logo was famous, but not so aware of its infamy; and there is no reference that expounds on that. Is anyone knowledgeable about that, or is it likely just a mis-use of the term "infamous?" Mike in IL (talk) 12:35, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Name of page- should be Chicago and North Western Railway
The name of the page should be Chicago and North Western Railway. The railroad was renamed back to its original name- Chicago and North Western Railway in 1994.

This is what happened: In May 1994, the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company was renamed back to its original name, Chicago and North Western Railway and the Chicago and North Western Holdings Corporation was renamed to the second Chicago and North Western Transportation Company.

Friedrich Naumann Foundation

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit) (FNF), is a German foundation for liberal politics, related to the Free Democratic Party. Established in 1958 by Theodor Heuss, the first president of the Federal Republic of Germany, it promotes individual freedom and classical liberalism. Usually still referred to as the Friedrich Naumann Foundation (Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung), the foundation supplemented its name in 2007 with the words "for Freedom" (für die Freiheit).

The foundation follows the ideals of the Protestant theologian, Friedrich Naumann. At the beginning of the last century, Naumann was a leading German liberal thinker and politician. He resolutely backed the idea of civic education. Naumann believed that a functioning democracy needs politically informed and educated citizens. According to him, civic education is a prerequisite for political participation and thus for democracy.

In this regard, the foundation is an agent of organized liberalism. It promotes this through civic education, international political dialogues, and political counselling. The foundation has numerous offices in Europe, Africa, America, and Asia. It also enjoys close links with Germany's Free Democratic Party (FDP) and Liberal International (LI).

While the foundation's activities in the field of civic education consist of seminars, conferences and publications aimed at promoting liberal values and principles, the international political dialogue program provides a discussion forum for a wide range of liberal issues. The foundation's counselling programs focus on candidates for political office, liberal political parties and other democratic organizations.

Scholarship program
The Friedrich Naumann Foundation, together with other foundations of different philosophical, political, and ideological orientation and the non-political German National Academic Foundation, acts as an instrument for the promotion of excellence in German tertiary education. This scholarship system is funded by the Federal Government. Around 1% of university students in Germany hold one of these federally funded merit scholarships. Currently, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation provides scholarships to approximately 800 students, among those 175 PhD students (as of 2009 ). Scholarships are granted after a competitive multi-stage admission process. The selection is based on grades, letters of recommendation, leadership potential, community service, and a visible commitment to liberal values. Around 20% of the scholarships are held by foreign students studying at a university in Germany.

Foreign involvement
In Peru, the foundation was involved in a misunderstanding on a meeting related to the some members of the Congress. The Peru Office Director testified before the Peruvian Congress to clear the misunderstanding.

The North America Regional Office in Washington, D.C. runs two programs. The Transatlantic Dialogue Program encourages discussions between the US, Canada, and Germany on various fronts, while the World Order and Globalization Hub enhances global economic understanding. Both aim to foster knowledge exchange and promote global social and economic progress.

In April 2024, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom was declared an undesirable organization in Russia. Shortly after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the foundation's work in Moscow was stopped and the Moscow office's registration was revoked.

BMW PGA Championship

The BMW PGA Championship is an annual men's professional golf tournament on the European Tour. It was founded in 1955 by the Professional Golfers' Association, and originally called the British PGA Championship.

History
The BMW PGA Championship has usually been played each May, on the weekend of the UK's Spring Bank Holiday, over the West Course at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England. The PGA European Tour has its headquarters at the club and as the tour's home tournament, the BMW PGA Championship is often regarded as the flagship event on the European Tour. The tournament switched to September in 2019 as part of a revamp of the golfing calendar in which the US PGA Championship moved to May.

It has usually had the highest prize money of any event which the tour organises, but this changed in 2009 with the introduction of the Race to Dubai, and the $10 million Dubai World Championship at the end of the season. There are other more lucrative events than the BMW PGA Championship which are part of the European Tour schedule, such as the majors and the World Golf Championship events, but these are organised by other bodies. It is also the European Tour's designated "Premier event" for the purposes of the Official World Golf Rankings, with a minimum of 64 ranking points available to the winner.

The winner of the tournament is given an exemption into that season's U.S. Open and the next three Open Championships.

In 2000, Colin Montgomerie became the only player to win three years in a row.

In 2021, Billy Horschel became only the second American to win the event, the first since Arnold Palmer in 1975.

Media coverage
Currently in the United Kingdom, all four rounds of the BMW PGA Championship are shown live by Sky Sports with highlights being shown by the BBC.

Talca

Talca is a city and commune in Chile located about 255 km south of Santiago, and is the capital of both Talca Province and Maule Region (7th Region of Chile). As of the 2012 census, the city had a population of 201,142.

The city is an important economic center, with agricultural (wheat) and manufacturing activities, as well as wine production. It is also the location of the Universidad de Talca and the Catholic University of Maule, among others. The Catholic Church of Talca has held a prominent role in the history of Chile.

Demographics
According to the 2002 census of the National Statistics Institute, Talca spans an area of 231.5 sqkm and had, in that year, 201,797 inhabitants. Of these, in 2002, 193,755 (96%) lived in urban areas and 8,042 (4%) in rural areas. The city had about 233,339 inhabitants (111,796 men and 121,543 women), according to the 2015 census. The population grew by 15.63% (31,542 persons) between the 2002 and 2015 censuses.

History
The city was founded in 1692 by Tomás Marín de Poveda and refounded as Villa San Agustín de Talca in 1742 by José Antonio Manso de Velasco.

The city played a role in Chile's independence. For example, the siege of Talca took place there on March 4, 1814, and the Battle of Cancha Rayada on March 29 and the Second battle of Cancha Rayada, on March 16. 1818. Also, on February 12, 1818, Bernardo O'Higgins signed the Chilean declaration of independence.

Talca Province was founded in 1833. This ended the dependency of Colchagua Province. Also, Talca was a focus of insurrection during the revolutions of 1851 and 1859.

Talca was partially destroyed by the 1928 Talca earthquake and the 2010 Chile earthquake, being rebuilt both times. It sits near the epicenter of the 2010 8.8 magnitude earthquake and suffered severe shaking causing the collapse of much of the historic town centre.

Administration
As a commune, Talca is a third-level administrative division of Chile administered by a municipal council, headed by an alcalde who is directly elected every four years. The 2008–2012 alcalde is Juan Castro Prieto (Independent Democratic Union, centre-right).

Within the electoral divisions of Chile, Talca is represented in the Chamber of Deputies by Sergio Aguiló (PS) and Germán Verdugo (RN) as part of the 37th electoral district, which consists entirely of the Talca commune. The commune is represented in the Senate by Juan Antonio Coloma Correa (UDI) and Andrés Zaldívar Larraín (PDC) as part of the 10th senatorial constituency (Maule-North).

Geography and climate
The commune of Talca spans an area of 231.5 sqkm. The city of Talca is located 250 km south of Santiago, south of the confluence of the rivers Lircay and Claro, in the Central Valley. The city is bisected by the Pan-American Highway.

Talca has a Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csb) with dry summers and wet winters, though it is hotter in summer and cooler in winter than coastal cities like Valparaíso and Concepción.

Transportation
Talca has a public bus system managed by the municipal Department of Transportation. The routes are tracked through Moovit.

Talk:Attachment theory

Section 4 "Attachment styles in adults" citation & reference problems
Hi all,

I'm concerned about some of the citations (or lack thereof) in section 4, ["attachment styles in adults"](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attachment_theory#Attachment_styles_in_adults). There are several issues with the citations in this section:

1. There are uncited passages throughout the section that editorialize about the relationship between adult attachment styles and romantic relationships;

2. many citations for descriptions of cognitive & social phenomena do not reference peer-reviewed academic material, but popular and 'grey' literature (e.g. nos. 93 & 95, possibly 94); and

3. some citations are written in parenthetical format, not in standard hyperlinked footnotes.

To address these issues, I propose:

1. That uncited passages be immediately removed;

2. references to non-peer-reviewed accounts of cognitive & social psychological phenomena be removed, their respective sections revised, and these descriptions replaced with rigorous, scholarly accounts of these complex human behaviors; and

3. citations be standardized according to the [Wikipedia style guide](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources).

Doing so will improve both the content of the section and its legibility; in turn, these revisions will help bring the article up to the [quality standards of Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources). 173.230.164.4 (talk) 14:44, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Yes! Thank you. Also the academic references that are cited are 30+ years old and need to be updated. Wackthedrums (talk) 03:13, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree, this section needs to be reworked with better citations and less vague language. I'm going to be slowly working specifically on the dismissive-avoidant section (which in my opinion is in the most dire need of complete revision), open to any and all help/input. RosieTime (talk) 14:38, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This sections seems to be influenced by the recent pop-psychology interest in attachment styles. While popular interest in the topic is welcomed, this page inherits some simplifications from that perspective. Most importantly, it takes a deficit-model approach. This both fails to reflect the actual theory and can be harmful to lay-people hoping to learn about themselves.
 * Is there a way to add a banner to this section noting the lack of citations to readers? TooManyFunFacts (talk) 00:09, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Missing verb?
This sentence - "When it comes to the opinions of others about themselves, they are very indifferent and are relatively hesitant to positive feedback from their peers." - reads like it should have a verb between "to" and "positive", like "to accept positive feedback".

Please refer to my comments at the Aust noticeboard re proposals for identifying High Court cases by name and citation. Cheers, --SilasM 04:50, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Periodisation
Proposal: That this list be divided into periods defined by the tenure of Chief Justice, rather than by decades. This would conform to the way in which most scholars of the High Court think about periods of its work. No-one talks about 'the 1980's High Court', but there is a vast literature on 'the Mason Court'. Any thoughts? --SilasM 11:17, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer not. We're aiming at a broader audience here, and this would make things more confusing for people without background knowledge. I think there's a reason the US and Canada - which I'd imagine have similar issues, and are far more advanced with coverage in this area than we are - don't. Ambi 12:55, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. There are of course other ways of grouping such periodisation articles. --SilasM 03:18, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree about the 'Mason court' or the 'Dixon court', for example, but who talks about the 'Gavan Duffy court'? When I added this page I just followed the example of List of United States Supreme Court cases. By the way, it's probably worth splitting into decades by now, since we're getting quite a few cases added. --bainer 03:57, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

The question of periodisation appears to be settled. In case the issue arises again, I note that the same approach was adopted in, an approach endorsed with some caution by Sir Anthony Mason in the foreword & by Chief Justice French I have summarised those observations at the start of the section on the High Court article. I don't think it is necessary to repeat them at the start of this list though. Find bruce (talk) 04:59, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Title vs. content
The title of the article indicates that this is a list of all High Court cases. Yet, the introduction says this is a list of notable cases. Either the title has to be changed, or all cases have to be included.

In addition, saying notable without any definition of why a case is notable is POV and using peacock terms. --K. 10:01, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Almost none of the lists on Wikipedia are complete. Furthermore, Wikipedia:Naming conventions specifically says that lists should be titled "List of Xs" rather than "List of famous Xs" or "List of notable Xs". The cases that are currently included in the list have been picked out for some historical or legal significance, or if they have been redlinked in other articles. If you know of other cases that you think should be included, feel free to add them to the list. --bainer (talk) 12:36, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Naming Cases
Is there a particular convention regarding the naming of cases involving the Commonwealth. Some are named XYZ v The Commonwealth and others ABC v Commonwealth. Personally I prefer "The Commonwealth" but I'd like some sort of discussion/concensus.

Also, a related issue will arise with cases that have the same name, eg, NSW v Cth appears twice already. How are we to differentiate? Shadow007 01:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The Australian Guide to Legal Citation says to use "Commonwealth" instead of "The Commonwealth". Cases with the same name can be differentiated by their citation (if people decide to include it in the article) or by their popular name in brackets, which is also accepted by the AGLC - eg, NSW v Commonwealth ("Seas and Submerged Lands Case").

Missing cases
I noticed that the dogs case was missing from the list. I don't know enough about law to write one line on the case but it seems that it is notable enough to have its own wikipedia article. Was very disapointed that I couldn't find one.

Ruddock v Vadarlis
I deleted Ruddock v Vadarlis as it was decided by the Federal Court not the High Court Find bruce (talk) 00:48, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Making it a sortable table
I was thinking of making the list a sortable table, in the same way as the List of Federal Court of Australia cases. Its a fair bit of work, which I would get to until Dec 17 /Jan 18, but I thought I would seek input before commencing. I was thinking

Interested in your feedback. Find bruce (talk) 05:01, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. A good idea, which will make the list more accessible. However, I would retain the current sections which are divided by the Chief Justice and have a separate table within each section with the columns "Case name", "Citation", "Area(s) of Law" and "Summary". Shadow007 (talk) 07:12, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I am working on this. The sortable table will contain the proposed columns as well as LawCite citation statistics Jack4576 (talk) 10:19, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * This has now been actioned Jack4576 (talk) 12:25, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Duplicate lists of cases
Jack4576 has added a duplicate list of 150 cases by citation frequency, which made a mess of the page with a table & a list. I am not sure that the information is useful & note that it will need to be regularly updated to stay current. If the information is useful, it should be done either as a separate article or by converting the current list to a table form as I suggest above, with a column for the number of citations. --Find bruce (talk) 10:12, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Find bruce It is perfectly fine for this page to contain multiple types of lists. Many pages on wikipedia have multiple lists within them. It would be unnecessary to create a separate page for a chronological list, and a citation list.
 * Why does the list need to be 'useful'? It is merely of interest. Whole books have been written about the 'top 200' cases in Australia by citation. A list by citation frequency is perfectly fine for Wikipedia. I do not see why a separate article is necessary.
 * Converting the current list to a table form, with a column for number of citations may be the way to go. I will do that, but please in the meantime do not delete the citation list. As you can see from this page's traffic statistics this evening, the list by citation has been of considerable interest to the legal community. I will tidy it up but please hold off on a blanket revert for now. Jack4576 (talk) 10:18, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Find bruce I will begin work on the sortable table proposal tomorrow, I have read through the 2017 proposal. Looks like a great idea. Please hold off on reverting the page for now. Jack4576 (talk) 10:21, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The page looks horrible. We have a list of over 280 cases to which you have added a further 150. It is too long & unwieldy. Please do not engage in an edit war - you have boldly edited, I have now reverted. The process is now discuss, not revert again & try to insist that your current revision is the one that should be there. The information is retained in the article history. Please undo your recent addition, work on it in draft form and get consensus BEFORE re adding it. --Find bruce (talk) 10:26, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Find bruce I think the page looks fine. It is two separate lists, which have two different uses. One is chronological, the other is by citation number. I will tomorrow consolidate the two into one full list, as discussed.
 * I have boldly edited, indeed; so please do not revert. If you do insist on your reversion, please achieve consensus before reverting my bold edit. Thank you. Jack4576 (talk) 11:41, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Find bruce the selection of cases as initially present on this page is completely arbitrary. There isn't any reason to insist on the chronological list as superior to a list of cases by citation. In any case, they will be recombined into a single list tomorrow. Thanks. Jack4576 (talk) 11:43, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Find bruce I have combined all of the cases into one new table, and have been careful to carry over the comments associated with each cases as well. I haven't tried to edit or changed any of the comments, focus for today has just been consolidation. The task is mostly complete now, just need to add in a few more LawCite statistics for the Gleeson, French, and Kiefel court; as well as 'Area of Law' and Comment fields for the cases that currently lack those details. I hope the new sortable list will be of use to future readers. Jack4576 (talk) 18:45, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Sorry but you are completely wrong Jack - there is nothing about a bold edit that makes it correct or unable to be reverted. You want to make dramatic changes to a well settled article. Yes consensus can change, but you need to seek consensus for that change. Thank you for abandoning multiple lists which was the primary reason for my reverting. The current consensus is that the primary sorting of the list is chronological by Chief Justice, but the real advantage of a sortable list is that any reader can sort it in the order they consider appropriate. --Find bruce (talk) 04:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * User talk:Find bruce Now that the list is sortable, and the edits have actioned the above decision made by consensus (a long time ago) this discussion is resolved. Thank you for refraining from further reverts. Jack4576 (talk) 04:27, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

By # of citations
I have added a list to this page which is ordered by the number of incoming citations. This will serve readers additional useful information on top of the list of significant cases in chronological order by each court. Jack4576 (talk) 03:15, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Find bruce please do not delete the number of incoming citations list. It is not a 'duplicate' list, it is a different list, the prior list is chronological; and based upon 'significance'. Whereas the list I have added to this page is based on number of citations.
 * It is perfectly fine for this page to contain multiple types of lists. Many pages on wikipedia have multiple lists within them. It would be unnecessary to create a separate page for a chronological list, and a citation list. Please before reverting my edit to this page without explanation; first engage in discussion on the talk page. Thank you. Jack4576 (talk) 10:12, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Random reversion

 * This is a response to Leo's comment within a reversion made to take this article back to its state a few months ago
 * Leo there is no claim being made that Chan is the most important High Court case. The table is navigable, with LawCite citations and dates able to be used to view the cases in an order for the reader. Please do not just randomly do a massive reversion to edits that took a high amount of effort; (including adding citation details, and citation statistics) without seeking consensus first.
 * The existing cases on the page were selected completely arbitrarily. There is no reason why the previous version of the page is better, other than conservatism and inertia. Please do not just randomly revert my bold edits. If you look at the page view statistics; you might also note that since my revision the page has seen a large uptick in viewership. Jack4576 (talk) 04:13, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * No one, including me would claim that Chan Yee Kin v Minister for Immigration & Ethnic Affairs is the 'most important' Australian case ever. However, it is the most cited case. You might notice that before my bold edits, House v The King & Jones v Dunkel didn't even have entries. Those cases, especially house; ARE arguably the most important cases ever. I have reverted your reversion, and let us please continue this discussion before randomly deleting a whole bunch of information about citation statistics and reference numbers again. Jack4576 (talk) 04:17, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * You might also note LeoC12 that my edit to recreate this list into a SORTABLE TABLE. Is an action that took place after consensus was first reached on this talk page. So consensus WAS achieved first before the edits were made. Please do not randomly revert my bold edits to the state of a few months ago. Jack4576 (talk) 04:19, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
