Talk:Galician Nationalist Bloc

This article needs editing
The BNG is neither a political 'party' nor an 'alliance' as variously stated in this article. It defines itself as a patriotic front, ie. an organisation made up of individual members who may choose to futher join any of the other organisations offically recognised by the BNG or not. In fact, the vast majority of its members are so-called 'independents', ie. are not members of any of the organisations within the BNG. The realtionship between the BNG and the groups it contains are indirect and complex, but the BNG is an autonomous body and an assembly-based organisation where individual members vote regardless of their (possible) inside party/group affiliations.

The officially recognised terms to refer to the diferent territorial components of the Spanish State is not 'regions' as such, but 'autonomous communities'. Further, Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galiza are recognised as having the special status of 'historical nationalities' (sic.) with languages of their own.

It would be better to describe figures cited by using their official titles, ie. Anxo Quintana, National Spokesperson Xosé Manuel Beiras, President of the National Council

Although Francisco Rodriquez is considered by some a leading figure in the BNG as an MP in the Spansih --193.144.79.188 20:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Parliament and owing to his role in the Galizan People's Union (he was recently reelected as General Secretary of the UPG), he is not an official representative (ie. spokesperson) for the BNG.

It is also worth pointing out that the BNG is the second most imortant group in the Galizan Parliament with seventeen seats, slightly ahead of the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE).

I do not think that it is fair to include this organisation within the section entitled 'secessioinist organisations' as that is not one of its self-declared political aims. Unlike other, self-styled 'independentist' organisations whoich also do exist in Galiza, the BNG officially defend the right to self-determination.

The Bloque Nacionalista Galego has links with Basque separatism, and Catalan separatism, as well as with other local and regional organizations on the edge of terrorism (such as AMI). Its ideology is national-socialism, as it's the mixture of Nationalism and Radical Socialism / Marxism-Leninism. It's a deeply undemocratic party.

These are very severa claims, and you should provide arguments and facts for them.

For a start, the links that the BNG has with the separatist, nationalist and independentist movements of Euskadi and Catalunya are perfectly democratic and legal, since they are links to legal organizations.

Second, AMI has no official links with the BNG, who has its own youth movement (Galiza Nova). In any case, accusing either of these organizations of being terrorist must be done with proofs -- I must remind you that the recent raids of the spanish police on AMI social centres have found nothing, and that all the people arrested has been set free without charges.

Third, you show a lack of knowledge when you speak about national-socialism, because you should know that national-socialism is not born out of joining marxism with nationalism, but rather as opposed to the former. National-socialists used to prosecute communists and anarchists, and the leading classes of Germany are largely responsible of the ascension of Hitler because (just like the french burgoisy did by allowing the german invassion) they thought that he would rid them of the communists. National-socialism is a misleading term (which is why it should be called Nazism), since its real roots are closer to fascism than to socialism -- and you surely know that fascism sought to eliminate the left-right dicotomy, and offered national unity among classes as opposed to the marxist concept of class struggle.

The ideology of the BNG is defined in its statutes and in its electoral programmes. It has, indeed, elements of nationalism and socialism (it is mainly a marixst front), but that does not make it national-socialist. The nationalist elements in the ideology of the BNG are aimed towards adquiring the right of self-determination; a right which has been recognized by the United Nations. In that sense, galizan nationalism seeks independence, not national supremacy -- this approach is very similar to the socialist movements of, for example, Latin America, where socialism is closely linked to the economic and cultural independence of each country from the USA, and has been a constant element in all the socialist movements of the XX century. As a matter of fact, the Third Internationale (the Cominterm) recognized Galiza as an opressed nation, and encouraged its right to self-determinate.

These facts all lead towards one important conclussion (and mind you, that I have separated one from the other): nationalism in Galiza is one-of-a-kind, compared to the rest of spanish nationalisms. For in Galiza, virtually all nationalism is linked closely to the left, and virtually all the left is linked to nationalism. While in other parts 'nationalist' will be seen as synonym to reactionary, in Galiza the nationalists are actually the progressive, hard left. --193.144.79.188 20:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

== Definitely, there are things which are beyond my understanding. I don't know at all the reason to cite a Spanish translation of the name of the party, since it is virtually unused all over Spain (except in far-right media which do so with a clear purpose), neither El Mundo, nor El País, nor Público, nor La Vanguardia... 95% of Spanish media uses the only Galician name without translation (which includes all major TV and radio stations), in the same way Amaiur or Herri Batasuna are not translated at all (which, in this case, would be understandable, since Basque is totally uninteligible for the Spanish-speaking-not Basque citizen).91.117.9.231 (talk) 19:47, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

COMUNIST AND SEPARATIST

Euroscepticism?
BNG is not a eurosceptic coalition (it did in fact belong to Europe of the Peoples (2004), which later merged into Europe of the Peoples–Greens). References 14th and 15th are not asserting that at all, and 16th is, to say the least, biased (Galicia24Horas.es is a right winged-digital newspaper with no relevance in the media system of Galicia or Spain). Therefore, I suggest remaking those highly controversial assertions. Shall I do it myself or let other more experiencede en.wiki users take care? Thanks. --Atobar (talk) 22:10, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

VFD Result
The result of the VFD can be found here: Votes for deletion/Acorn Community -- AllyUnion (talk) 10:07, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Verifiability/POV of information
The following is why I have added a "disputed" warning to this article.

User:209.145.86.126 and User:209.145.86.69 are the only one(s) to have added any content to this thus far; all contributions by other users have been minor style edits.

Copied from User talk:209.145.86.69:

Hi there. I noticed you had made some pretty substantial contributions to Acorn Community. I was wondering what your sources were for this information, as there seemed to be a significant dearth of reporting about it on the internet, at least. Thanks! Postdlf 03:29, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hello,

I see from the entries you made in the discussion regarding the VFD for Acorn Community that you are not in agreement with the result of the vote. Rather than what appears to be a polite request for information it seems to me that you suspect that I am a member of Acorn and are hoping to use this to bolster your argument. Who better to provide information on a cultural experiment than somebody who is experiencing and contributing to that culture? I really do not feel like entering into a debate over the validity of Acorn Community as encyclopedic. However if you press me I shall give my argument. [posted by User:Acorner; user's first and only edit]

 * So are you saying you were writing from personal experience? Postdlf 15:53, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

What of it? [posted by User:209.145.86.69]

 * See Original research, Autobiography, and NPOV. All articles must be based on objective, verifiable information.  This is difficult, if not impossible to do if the information comes from a first-person source that has not been otherwise reported.  An encyclopedia in itself is a secondary (if not a tertiary) source.  Furthermore, writing about one's own self or accomplishments is heavily discouraged because it's likely to be original research, and it's likely to come from a self-aggrandizing point of view.  How are non-Community members to verify that what you have written is accurate?  If you can't give a print source for the information you have contributed, if it is in fact original research, it should be removed.  Postdlf 20:55, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I believe that reverting the User:209.145.86.69's edits would be a drastic step at this point, though perhaps justified in the future if the additions cannot be shown to reflect any verifiable, outside source. Postdlf 00:36, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Information regarding the Acorn Community entry may be verified in a number of ways.

You might like to contact TwinOaks community and ask to talk to any one of the 30+ members who have been living at TwinOaks longer than Acorn has been in existence.

You could contact the FEC (Federation of Egalitarian Communities) of which Acorn is a full member.

You could find yourself a copy of the Communities directory, of which there are thousands of copies in the libraries of the U.S.A. This is a comprehensive listing of the intentional communities in the U.S. this is also available online http://directory.ic.org/

You could contact Acorn Community where you could talk with people who have been here since the beginning. If you are particularly keen you could even take a trip to Virginia and peruse the archives of meeting and decisions reached over the communities lifetime.

Or you could have a quick search on the internet. I did just that and turned up these on the first google page www.ic.org/acorn/ www.communitymade.com/community-list.html www.localharvest.org/farms/M10043 www.communitymade.com/community-list.html whispy.com/intentional-communities.html www.neravt.com/left/directory/subjects/commun.htm

 * www.ic.org/acorn/, www.communitymade.com/community-list.html, www.localharvest.org/farms/M10043, and www.neravt.com/left/directory/subjects/commun.htm are obviously self-promotional, as they are written in the first person. They can't be considered outside objective sources.
 * http://whispy.com/intentional-communities.html refers to Acorn only in name, in the caption to a link to www.communitymade.com.

This is NOT verification. This is nothing but advertisement. Is that the best you have? Postdlf 00:27, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It's true that "you could contact Acorn community and verify.." and similar points do not correspond to how Wikipedia was set up to not be a place for original research but to describe what's been published by (respectable) other courses. However, as the other user stated, you can use google to find lots of articles about Acorn online. For example, http://www.life.ca/nl/43/commun.html Similarly there's Kat Kinkade's book.

I missed the vote, and I'm glad the vote was to keep it (can one request to be notified by email when there's a vote? Does "Watch this page' do it? I thought I checked that but perhaps not) I would have voted for keeping this article. This is much more notable than a municipality, not the other way around. Places like this affect the culture. Not just for people like me who don't live there but have visited, but, from online discussion boards, I can tell you that probably hundreds of thousands if not millions have been influenced by the existence of not only ICs but of ICs in their state (in this case, in VA), in terms of their own life-goals and thinking about their own life. You don't have to be part of a blues or jazz music group to be influenced by blues or jazz..in this case the influence is substantial and has influenced not only individuals but other movements (e.g. the peak oil awareness movement, the permaculture movement, and more).

The above comments apply to any intentional community that has more than ~10 people and more than ~5 years old, but in the case of Acorn there is an additional second and very powerful reason why it is notable because of the combination of two facts: Twin Oaks is one of the most well known intentional communities in the U.S. if not world, and Acorn is a rare if not unique case of a split-off on this scale. The success AND any failures of the split-off into a second full community, Acorn, are of extremely high historical and contemporary value, therefore. --Harel 19:21, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I saved the best until last there is also a book published, "Is It Utopia Yet?" written by Kat Kinkade who was a founding member of TwinOaks. She dedicates an entire chapter ("Twin Oaks Plants an Acorn") to the planning and early years of Acorn Community. It makes an interesting read and can be found on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0964044501/103-4371305-4903852?v=glance

Other vegetarian communities
I created a new category: Category:Vegetarian settlements and now it has only two articles ...

Does anyone know about other vegetarian communities over the world?

I am only familiar with Amirim. --Amir E. Aharoni 09:36, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Moving Page to Acorn Community Farm
I am interning at Acorn currently and have been asked by the community to change the name from Acorn Community to Acorn Community Farm. Can anyone assist me on doing the properly? --Dhornbein (talk) 17:44, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I handled it for you, but I want to warn you that if you'd like to help this page out, it's very important to get some proper source citations for this entire article. It may be considered wide in its scope and coverage, but it isn't sourced to anything. Wikipedia is not a place for original research, and doesn't exist to help promote this intentional community. It may have survived a previous deletion nomination, back when Wikipedia's editors had lax standards, but it's impossible for it to survive one today unless it gets verifiable, third party sources.--Cast (talk) 23:32, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will work with the community to bring this page up to Wikipedia's standards. --Dhornbein (talk) 17:07, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Fair catch kick

The fair catch kick is a rule at the professional and high school levels of American football that allows a team that has just made a fair catch to attempt a free kick from the spot of the catch. The kick must be either a place kick or a drop kick, and if it passes over the crossbar and between the goalposts of the opposing team's goal, a field goal, worth three points, is awarded to the kicking team.

The fair catch kick is considered to be an obscure rule and it is rarely attempted. Because most fair catches are made well out of field goal range, and a team making a fair catch has possession of the ball and a first down, it is rarely to a team's advantage to attempt a fair catch kick rather than run a play from scrimmage. A team may attempt a fair catch kick if it makes a fair catch when the clock expires at the end of either half, as a half must be extended in order to allow a fair catch kick attempt. At the professional level, the last successful fair catch kick was made by Ray Wersching of the San Diego Chargers in 1976.

The fair catch kick has its origins in rugby football's goal from mark, which has since been abolished in both major rugby codes; a similar rule, the mark, is a major part of Australian rules football.

Rule
The fair catch kick rule states that, after a player has successfully made a fair catch or has been awarded a fair catch as the result of a penalty such as kick catch interference, their team can attempt a kick from the spot of the catch; the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) rulebook also allows a kick to be made if the down following the fair catch or awarded fair catch has to be replayed. Prior to the kick, the opposing team must be lined up at least ten yards beyond the spot of the ball. The kick itself can be either a place kick or drop kick; a kicking tee cannot be used at the professional level, but use of a tee up to two inches in height is permitted at the high school level. Like other field goal attempts, the kicking team is awarded three points if the kick goes above the crossbar and between the goalposts of the opposing team's goal and did not touch a player of the kicking team after the kick. If the attempt fails, the opposing team is awarded control of the ball from the spot of the kick. The opposing team can also return the kick if it does not go out of bounds.

In the NFHS rulebook, the fair catch kick is specifically defined as a free kick. The National Football League (NFL) rulebook specifically states that the fair catch kick is not a free kick, instead considering the fair catch kick to be a distinct type of kick. Despite this, reporters at both levels describe the fair catch kick as a free kick.

The XFL (2020) rulebook defines the fair catch kick separately from the free kick. Under the XFL rules, a fair catch kick cannot itself be returned and the play ends when either team secures possession of the ball; the formation is executed under the XFL's rules for an onside kick, which are separate from those of the XFL's standard kickoff formation.

History
The fair catch kick found in American football originated in rugby football. A similar rule in rugby, the goal from mark, allowed a player who had fair caught a ball to attempt an uncontested free kick from the spot of the fair catch. Both major codes of rugby have eliminated the rule; rugby league abolished the goal from mark in 1922, and rugby union removed it in 1977. Australian rules football has retained the rule, and it is a vital part of the Australian game; a "fair catch" of a ball kicked more than 15 meters in the air is called a mark, and the player making the mark is then awarded a free kick. The fair catch kick has been present in the NFL rulebook since the league's inception, and also remains in the NFHS rulebook. The fair catch kick is not legal in National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) football; the NCAA abolished the fair catch in 1950, but re-added it a year later. When the fair catch returned to the rulebook, however, the option to attempt a kick after the fair catch was removed.

Usage
The fair catch kick rule is very rarely invoked, and is one of the rarest plays in football. The rule has been regarded as "obscure", "bizarre", and "quirky". A unique set of circumstances is required for a fair catch kick to be a viable option. For one, the fair catch would need to be made at a point on the field where a field goal attempt has a reasonable chance of being successful; most fair catches are made well outside of field goal range. Furthermore, for a fair catch kick to be a viable option near the end of the fourth quarter, the team attempting the kick needs to be either tied or behind by three points or fewer; even if such a situation were to occur, a coach might still decline to attempt a fair catch kick.

For example, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, known for his knowledge and utilization of obscure football rules, declined the opportunity to attempt a 75-yard fair catch kick at the end of regulation in Super Bowl LI; although kicker Stephen Gostkowski was able to kick the ball that far and the game was tied, Belichick felt the risk of a return touchdown by the opposing team off a failed kick outweighed the opportunity to score from the kick. Art McNally, who led the officiating department of the National Football League from 1968 to 1990, said that even in the event a fair catch is made within field goal range, most teams would attempt to score a touchdown unless there is not enough time left to score one. Accordingly, most fair catch kick attempts occur when a team has fair-caught a ball from a punt from deep in their opponent's territory but there is not enough time left in the half to go for a touchdown. After Cottonwood High School (Murray, Utah) kicker Ryan Nielson successfully completed a game-winning fair catch kick in 2022, coach Casey Miller said he thought "I've never seen a chance to do this play in my life. If it's not going to happen now, it will never happen in my lifetime."

Despite its drawbacks, there are several unique advantages to using the fair catch kick. Because the play does not start until the ball is kicked, the kicker can take a running start before kicking as opposed to the typical two steps taken on regular field goal attempts. Similarly, the kicker does not have to worry about a low snap because the ball is not snapped. Because the defense cannot come within 10 yards of the kicker before the ball is kicked, the kicker can give the ball a lower trajectory than a field goal kick from scrimmage without the threat of it being blocked. The fair catch kick would also be of a shorter distance than a normal field goal attempt from the same spot, because the fair catch kick is taken from the spot of the catch, while a typical field goal is taken seven yards behind the line of scrimmage. In the XFL, the rules allow for a fair catch kick after time expires and do not allow the opposing team to return it, making it a feasible end-of-half strategy where it otherwise would have been too dangerous in the NFL.

Known attempts in the NFL
The NFL does not keep a record of fair catch kick attempts, so the exact number of attempts is unknown. Out of the 26 recorded fair catch kick attempts in regular season and postseason games, six were successful; all five known attempts in exhibition games were unsuccessful. With one exception, all fair catch kick attempts were made within the last 30 seconds of either the 2nd or 4th quarter. The last successful attempt was made in 1976 by Ray Wersching of the San Diego Chargers (45 yards), and the longest successful attempt was made in 1964 by Paul Hornung of the Green Bay Packers (52 yards). The most recent fair catch kick attempt was by Carolina Panthers kicker Joey Slye, who missed a 60-yard fair catch kick wide right on October 13, 2019.

Talk:Infiniti G35

HP figures
They should be 280hp for the auto and 298hp for the manual, whether coupe or sedan. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.111.23.184 (talk • contribs).

That's the same change I was trying to make but the page is locked or something? Only the External Links are editable. ~pezzonovante1 02:13, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Actually I think it depends on the year. In 2003 the 6MT did not have 298 hp. Edrigu 19:19, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Competition
"The TSX competes mainly with lower-end versions of the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series, as well as the Lexus IS 250 and Volvo S40. While it doesn't really have the prestige of the German cars, the TSX rates highly with us because of its premium interior and very impressive standard features list." -edmunds.com

The TSX is not ment to compete with the G35 which has almost 100hp more compare to the TSX. I am removing the TSX reference again.

- Baboo 00:07, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

 * And it stays TL, because TL competes with ES (and sometimes the IS)! And for that matter, the EPA lists the G35 as a compact car, but like the Lexus IS, it stays as entry-level luxury car / compact executive car. -- Bull-Doser 02:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not which car is a competitor but which car is similar. And since the G35 is RWD and both Acuras are FWD, and there are already three RWD cars on the similar list, it makes the most sense to not have either. IFCAR 12:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Merge
The G37 is its own car. It is a coupe, it has different rims, a different engine, and other important differences. Merging these articles would be an insult to G37 owners (tho i am not 1 myself). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.53.186 (talk) 02:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

I think that the G37 article should be merged into this page. It doesn't warrant a separate article just because it has a slightly different name. I also think this article should be renamed Infiniti G series or Infiniti G (which is currently a disambiguation page). There could be a note on the top that says something like

''This article is about the Nissan Skyline based G Series. For the the previous, Nissan Primera based vehicle see Infiniti G20.'' ~ Dusk Knight 23:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Entry could also resemble the BMW 3 Series entry with separate and more extensive pages linked from a small entry for each G-series generation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sydbot (talk • contribs) 18:27, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with the merge, but there won't be any need of sub-articles since there isn't so much text to be merged. And the G20 article could me merged with the Primera article or the main Infiniti G article too. -- NaBUru38 (talk) 16:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

There will be a G Convertible in Infiniti's USA dealerships by the end of 2008. Later, the G35 Sedan may morph into the G37 Sedan if the manufacturer decides to use the version of the VQ motor now in the G37 (the G Coupe). Future additional versions of the G are likely, including a very-high-performance coupe - taking it's performance cue from the G's cousin, the now-being-released Nissan GT-R.

Looking at the G Series is now like, and will be even more like, looking at the BMW 3 Series, a direct G competitor. I agree with Dusk Knight. Mal Kenney Infiniti of Scottsdale —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.99.218.18 (talk) 22:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, the following is a VERY long explanation, but, while it may be slightly over-analytical, it most definitely is not redundant or pointless, it is just a clear and comprehensive explanation for every reason that it is clear that based purely on precedence, not just my own stupid opinion (like, oh it would be easier to understand blah blah—which may be useful to an extent but I feel that precedence is a far stronger argument), there should only be one Infiniti G based article. This merge has to move along so I went all out.

The Infiniti G is analogous to the Mercedes C and the BMW 3 series. One might say that the G sedan is analogous to the C and that the G coupe is analogous to the CL or the CLK, but I think it would be more appropriate to just say that the C class does not include a true 2 door coupe and that the CLK and the CL are merely different classes entirely, but that Infiniti groups them together a bit more like BMW, including the 3 series related coupe directly into the 3 series. One could then just say that the Z4 is analogous to the CLK or the CL as an entirely different model. Mercedes just chooses not to have a C coupe like the analogous BMW and Infiniti models do. Also, the Infiniti G is in direct competition with the 3 series and the C class, not the CL or CLK.

One might also present the argument that BMW and Mercedes have M and AMG versions of cars that are most definitely considered to be 3 series and C class cars. There is an AMG page, and not only an M page but an M3 page. First of all, Infiniti does not have anything analogous to M or AMG, merely a 3.7 rather than a 3.5 liter engine does not classify as an analogue, especially when non AMG and non M Mercedes and BMW vehicles do vary in engine size within each class or series. Even if there were any class related AMG pages, this precedent would still not be applicable in this scenario, as the G37 as compared to the G35 (as well as the coupe compared to the sedan) is only analogous to the variations within the C class and 3 series that do not have their own articles (ie. 328/335 coupe/sedan). Also, the G37S would not classify as analogous to the M3 or the C63 AMG, as it is really only the car with the sport package and only appears to be some sort of different model because of the way Infiniti advertises the different trim levels.

Based on all of this information, it can be safely stated that as far as its BMW and Mercedes competition, the precedent would be to maintain one page for all G models, including G35 coupe and sedan. Based on other precedents set by the way articles for these manufacturers have been treated, the only reason to ever create a new page for Infiniti would be if they created something analogous to M or AMG, which should presumably be something available in all or most of their vehicles (ie. M, FX, EX, etc.). Even if such a thing were to exist, as dictated by the lack of a page for the C AMG but the existence of a page for the M3, it might be necessary to make a page specifically for the G version, but initially it probably wouldn't be.

I have not spent nearly as much time roaming the Lexus articles, but upon quickly viewing the organization, it seems to function the same way as BMW and Mercedes, with individual articles only for each series. Lexus lacks anything analogous to the M or AMG (Likewise there are no such articles), so it would actually probably be a better comparison to Infiniti.

According to the precedents set by Infiniti's and specifically the G series' competitors, it would make the most sense to have only had one article about the Infiniti G. But, as far as organization goes, one can see that it is very clear that unlike BMW or Mercedes, Infiniti tries to keep one engine size for each model, and changes in engine size generally go along with changes in design/generation (2008 is the only year that the G37 coupe will coexist with a G35 sedan, in 2009 it will be the G37 sedan). So, according to this, it would probably be most appropriate to, within the new merged article, designate the G37 as the new generation (for both sedan and coupe, a side note that the sedan made the engine change a year after it made all the other changes, as compared to the coupe that just made every change at once, would be all that is necessary), and give it a new section. This would be contrary to how, say, the 328 or the 335 are grouped together. But, due to the way that Infiniti develops their generations and their choice of engine, it would be most logical to view the new G37 as a new generation of the G, following the G35. This would be analogous to how the 3 series generations E46 and the E90 are separate sections in the article. The fact that the engine sizes are grouped differently within the article is because they are grouped differently in Infiniti’s history, unlike the 328 versus the 335, but similarly to the E46 versus the E90 (different generations of 3 series). Andrew Nutter (talk) 04:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I am in favor of merging; the G37 page can and should be merged with the G35 page. Further, all of the G series articles should be conglomerated to show the progression of the line. A change in motor size and designation (i.e. G20 to G35 to G37) should be shown in a 'G coupe' subsection of the Infiniti G page. This way, there will be no confusion about continuity. The 'G' is a model line from Infinity that has both coupe and sedan form. One page with sub-sections for each should be sufficient. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Technically Brilliant (talk • contribs) 01:27, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

The G37 should be in a page with all G models, in Japan the Nissan Skyline coupe(G37) is a coupe version of the Nissan Skyline sedan(G35). There will also be a G37 sedan soon so it makes sense that the G37 page and G35 page be merged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.85.232 (talk) 00:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Photo conflict?
There seems to be a conflict as to whether to use or  for the lead image. I don't see a significant difference in quality and either one could serve quite well, so shall we put it to a vote? I vote for Image:07 Infiniti G35.jpg (white V36). I think the nicer weather and setting make it more aesthetically pleasing. Anyway, Image:04-05 Infiniti G35 sedan.jpg (silver V35) would be good to replace one of the V35 pictures since they are both of the coupe and almost the exact same angle. ~ Dusk Knight 03:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to discuss it. They are pretty similar in terms of quality, however I believe we should have the most recent model at the top of the page otherwise it really is just a matter of opinion as to which generation best illustarates a model.  If a good quality photo is available for the most recent generation I see no reason not to have it as the lead image. --Daniel J. Leivick 08:05, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The two coupes are the same angle because they illustrate pre- and post-facelift body styles, allowing for an easy comparison of the changes. I object to the head image being the 2007 (at least for now) because it means that the 2nd-gen infobox image will have to be worse than all of the images in the current arrangement. There may be no reason not to have the newest model as the head image, but there's also no reason TO have it as the head image. IFCAR 15:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Neither photo depicts the Coupe. Both are G35 Sedans. The white is the current body style introduced for the 2007 model year. The silver is the earlier body style which was little changed from 2003 through 2006. The change in '07 was significant, and not a "facelift". There was, in fact, a "facelift" for the 2005 model year. Mal Kenney Infiniti of Scottsdale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.99.218.18 (talk) 22:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Just like every other car article out there, the main picture should be of the most recent model. Why should it be any less simple than that? Andrew Nutter (talk) 05:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Csobánka

Csobánka is a village in Pest County, Budapest metropolitan area, Hungary. Csobánka is located in the Pilis Mountains which is a National Park in Hungary.

The name Csobánka comes from Ottoman Turkish چوبان (çoban) rooted in < Persian چوبان (čubân). which means shepherd. The word csobán originated from the settlement of the Magyars in Hungary. The earliest record of the official name was mentioned in a tax minute-book on January 3, 1698.

Indigenous colonists?
How can colonists be indigenous? I am guessing "indigenous" is trying to say "non-European" here, but then "Polynesian" would be the right term, correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.243.189.1 (talk) 02:14, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Untitled
It's amazing that the German and Hebrew articles on the Marquesas are much more in depth than the English (and French and Spanish!) articles. What's even more astounding is that the Polish article includes a map! C'mon anglophones! Let's pump up the volume here! :-) TShilo12 10:18, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Population peak: 100,000
It seems amazing to me that these islands could have supported such a large population and that this figure would have risen from zero in 300 CE. What a population explosion in just a few centuries! Is there general concensus around the certainty of this number? //Big Adamsky 20:57, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I've read people who came along centuries later and said "how is it possible that 100k ppl lived here?", but the earliest sources range from 80k-150k, and most "like" 100k. I believe I was looking at Bernice P. Bishop Museum Bulletin #9 when I was writing that section of the article...  Tom e rtalk  20:15, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Beaucoup de chercheurs ont critiqué cette estimation de 100 000 habitants, faites d'ailleurs pour les îles du Sud seulement (ce qui ferait au moins 200 000 pour le total de l'archipel ?). Quand on visite les vallées isolées de Marquises, aujourd'hui inhabitées, mais pleines de vestiges, on comprend que c'etait pourtant certainement la réalité : une population énorme. Il ne faut pas oublier que c'est justement un trop-plein de population des Marquises qui a servi de source pour peupler l'île de Pâques, la Société, Hawaii etc. au début de notre ère. Quant à l'explosion de la population en si peu de temps, elle n'est surprenante que si on considère la date des plus anciennes découvertes archéologiques comme le début réel de la colonisation, ce qui est une confusion scientifique. Cette date de première colonisation ne pourra que reculer dans le passé au fur et à mesure des nouvelles découvertes et aussi peut être avec la mort des archéologues qui refusent depuis cinquante ans de voir que le passé polynésien est plus profond que l'on pensait autrefois. (Sorry to write in french but my english is not good enough, please if somebody can replace my talk by its english translation, thank you. Stephane.jourdan@informatique.gov.pf (now @gmail.com ...°
 * I'll take a stab at translating the above:
 * Many researchers have criticized this estimate of 100k inhabitants, made only for the southern Marquesas (which would conceivably make a population of at least 200k for the whole archipelago?) When one visits the isolated, and to day uninhabited, valleys of the Marquesas, they are found to be filled with vestiges [of the bygone Marquesan civilization], [and] one begins to understand this certainty:  [they were once home to] an enormous population.  It should not be forgotten that it is precisely this overflowing Marquesan population that spurred adventurers out to populate Easter Island, the Societies, Hawaii, etc., as long as 2000 years ago.  As for the explosion of the population in so little time, it is only "suprising" if one regards the dates of the oldest archæological discoveries as the actual beginning of colonization, which is not a scientifically sound approach.  The date of first colonization can only be pushed back progressively, with each new discovery.  Perhaps the passing of the [generation of] archæologists who have refused to review this evidence critically for the past 50 years will result in the realization that Polynesian history stretches back further than formerly believed.
 * Tom e rtalk 04:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I have a couple of comments on the above. First, "Stephane" is not the first to point out the ludicrousness of the idea that the first thing the Polynesian settlers who first arrived in the Marquesas did, was to start carving stone tikis and building paepae.  This activity was certainly only pursued well after the livelihood of the Polynesians there was already secured, and the finer niceties of civilization could be seen to.  (The innovation of paepae is clearly Marquesan in origin, as a result of the unique geography of the Marquesas Islands--an innovation that's completely unnecessary anywhere else in Polynesia.  It's quite a stretch to think that this innovation came about fully-formed the day the original Marquesan settlers first set foot on the islands.)  The problem with using this idea as a starting-point for considering our understanding of Marquesan civilization, is that it has as many logical and scientific flaws as the viewpoint it seeks to refute.
 * That said, I have to say that our pontification 400 years later about how many people really could have lived in the Marquesas in 1595 is ludicrous. We certainly are not in a better position than Mendaña de Neira was, to determine how many people could have lived there.  As Stephane points out, probably the most reliable approach to trying to formulate a guess is to look back to the early authors who studied Marquesan civilization before it was completely destroyed (at least those who escaped with their lives!), and compare the distribution and number of the paepae to how many people typically would have inhabited each one, as well as how many people were too poor or otherwise disenfranchised to have an elevated domicile, and try to come up with a reasonable calculation that way.  To simply say "the islands couldn't have supported that many people!" is silly.  None of us alive today were there.  We don't know what the islands could/n't have supported.  As for the possibility that a few boatloads (say 5 boatloads of 30 each) of Polynesians couldn't have multiplied to 200k over the course of 1,300 years, check this out:  150 = generation 1.  70(couples)*10(kids each)+150(ppl still left alive from the previous generation, in this case, the parents) => 700(kids)+150(parents) = 850(people) = generation 2.  350(couples)*10(kids each)+350(parents)+150(grandparents) => 3500(kids)+500(parents+grandparents) => 4000 = generation 3.      1750(couples)*10(kids each)+3500(parents)+350(grandparents)+75(greatgrandparents...say half of the 150 original settlers have died off)=> 17500(kids)+3925(parents+)=21,425 = generation 4.  We'll call a generation "25 years", thus 4 generations = 1 century.  Now that kind of population growth is probably unrealistic for the first 2 generations (while they're trying to get their feet on the ground, so to speak), but in 100 years, the population has gone from 150 to 21,425.  Obviously not every woman would have had 10 kids, but bear with me.  That kind of growth over 1,300 years is not only enough to leave the islands with a population of well over 200k in 1595, but also ample enough left over to account for the boatloads of settlers who went wandering off to settle elsewhere.  We can't really say what the islands could or couldn't support 400 years ago.  It's probable that the islands went through cycles of drought and plenty then just as they do today, and not even mildly unreasonable to expect that in times of plenty the population boomed, and in times of drought the population declined not only as a result of war and famine, but also emigration.  Anyways, I've pontificated enough about pointless pontification. [[Image:Tongue.png]] Tom e rtalk  04:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The maths is impressive but almost certainly wrong?From my reading of primitive societies in general, population growth is very slow indeed.Why start with 150 people?A polynesian waka would carry perhaps 6 on a fishing trip and maybe 20-30 on a voyaging trip.To use the known information from early east polynesins in NZ (around 1280-1300)at Wairau Bar in the South Is-the known life expectancy was 12-14 years based on 40 skeleton examinations, with the eldest 30 so relatively few women lived into child bearing age.Food was very easy to obtain-the middens are proof of that, though the winter would have been cooler than what they were used to.All the skeletons had serious tooth infection and/or extremely worn teeth and the bones of all the children without acception showed signs of long term stress.Between 1280 and 1800 the Nz Maori population grew to about 100,000(note by 1800 the Maori had about 20 years contact with Europeans who gave pototoes, pumpkin, pigs and chickens etc to Maori which they quickly included in their standard diet, so they probably had the benefit of say 15 years of much varied and improved food supply by 1800.You might want to do the maths working backwads from those numbers. Demgraphers in Nz in 2008-9 did some calculations which from memory suggested that a colonizing population of around 200-300 was needed giving some support to the theory of multiple waka arriving in nz about the same time. On a differnt matter the Tahitian that Cook bought with him as a "translator" had no problems understanding the language spoken by Maori around 1780(?)Claudia  jan 2011  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.35.32 (talk) 01:39, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

thank you very much Tomer for your translation, I have improved my english now (well I hope I have). Today I visit this page again and see those black and white photos for the first time. I have not read that book but the group photo is taken on a sandshore. There are very few such beaches in the Marquesas and also when they exist, they are far more large, I mean from the surf to the first trees, because of the tide. This beach looks like a no-tide beach, as you can see a lot along the lagoons of the Society islands.... As for the chiefess, the style of her dress has a definite tahitian look. Do we have proofs that thoses photograhs have really been taken in the Marquesas ? (please send copy of your answer to stephane.jourdan @ gmail, thanks)

Sexual history
I'm sorry if this offends anyone, or if some are embarrassed about their past, but it is history. I added references to the sexual culture in the Marquesas prior to Western influence with regard to child sexuality, which makes it unique.

Only valid reasons for removal are either inaccuracy or that it's off-topic for the article, in which case this information should probably be moved to a different article, perhaps on child sexuality, where there is a section on "Historical and tribal societies".

Some tips for you!
Hi, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps.  Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type  on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you. Pesky ( talk  …stalk!) 06:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Simple references
These require two parts;

 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.

 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Something to make your life easier!
Hi there ! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you had to create titles for your url links manually, or were using bare urls as references.

You might want to consider using this tool - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. Happy editing!

Croydon F.C.

Croydon Football Club is an English semi-professional football club based in Croydon, London. Until 2006, they played in the Isthmian League, but lost their place in that league as part of the 2006 re-structuring of non-league football, and now play in the. They play at Croydon Sports Arena in South Norwood. The club was founded in 1953 as Croydon Amateurs.

History
The club was founded in 1953 as Croydon Amateurs FC and its original players came from some of the stronger clubs playing in local football. The club was specially formed to play at the Croydon Arena (still its home today) when it was officially opened in 1953. The team made its debut at the Arena against Malden Town on Saturday 5 September 1953, winning 4–3. The club spent their first ten years in the Surrey Senior League but whilst failing to win the championship (thrice finishing runners-up), evolved into one of that competition's strongest teams. In 1963–64, they joined the Spartan League, winning the league title at the first attempt in their only season in the competition. 1964 saw them join the Athenian League where they spent the next ten years, winning the Second Division title in 1965–66, suffering relegation four years later and then gaining two successive promotions to the Premier Division as runners-up to Herne Bay (1970–71) and Harlow Town (1971–72) under the managership of Jimmy Rose. Rose's departure to Dulwich Hamlet saw a mass player exodus and a season of struggle ensued. 1973 saw the suffix Amateurs dropped due to the impending changes to the status of players and a year later, under the management of Ted Shepherd, election to the expanding Isthmian League.

Two seasons later, after an unbeaten 1975–76 campaign, the club gained promotion to the Isthmian's top division – initially titled Division One but then retitled the Premier Division where they spent twelve seasons before relegation to the First Division in 1989. An FA Cup run in the 1979–80 season led to a home draw in the 2nd round to Football League opposition in the shape of Division Three Millwall. The tie was switched to be played at Selhurst Park and in front of almost 10,000 people the Croydon team, captained by Alec Jackson held their League opponents to a 1–1 draw thanks to a Rod Ward goal. The replay three days later could not separate the two sides after 90 minutes with Constable scoring twice for Croydon, but Millwall eventually winning the match narrowly 3–2 after extra time. A further relegation followed in 1994, but following Ken Jarvie taking over as Chairman / Manager and internal reorganisation, they were promoted back to Division One within two seasons. The club's first Isthmian League title – champions of Division One followed in 2000, before relegation two years later.

The non-league scene was reorganised at the end of the 2005–06 season and this restructuring saw them placed in the Kent League where following a third-place finish in 2006–07, the club finished in mid-table the following two seasons. 2008–09 culminated with success in the Kent League Cup after a penalty shootout win over Erith Town.

That turned out to be the club's final Kent League fixture as they were shuffled sideways into the Combined Counties League (a competition which evolved from the Surrey Senior League) for the 2009–10 season. This was effectively back where they spent their first ten years and there is long-term rebuilding underway - the first three seasons in the CCFL saw them finish lower midway. For the 2014–15 season, the club was switched to the Southern Counties East League (formerly the Kent League).

The club also runs a successful youth programme, a midweek Under 18 team playing in Ryman Youth League, a second under 18 team playing in the new Combined Counties league and a Sunday team who play in the Croydon Municipal league. In their first season the Sunday side were promoted and won the Leonard Vase Cup (2012–13) Recent players to have graduated from the youth programme include Danny Mills, Lee Brown and Stefan Payne.

Croydon dropped down to Step 6 at the end of the 2018–19 season after finishing bottom of the SCEFL Premier Division with just 11 points all season. They have remained at that level since then, finishing 8th and 7th during the two pandemic-affected seasons. They came 8th in 2021–22, and then 10th in 2022–23.

Croydon fell short of promotion again in the 2023–24 season. The club overcame a slow start to get themselves into the play-off mix but four straight defeats at the end of the campaign saw them finish 8th with 44 points from 30 games. However, the club did end their 15-year trophy drought, beating Wimbledon Casuals 1–0 to win the 2023–24 London Senior Trophy.

Nickname
The club's nickname "The Trams" was adopted around 2000 when the Tramlink system opened, running round the back of the ground, Arena being the closest stop less than two minutes walk from the turnstiles.

Supporters
Croydon fans are collectively known as 'The Trams Barmy Army' and are referred to as the '12th man' by the club. They are known for their vocal support but friendly nature.

Ground

Croydon play at Croydon Sports Arena, Albert Road, South Norwood, SE25 4QL. The Croydon FC clubhouse overlooks Croydon Sports Arena and has a bar where supporters meet before and after games.

As of November 2020, the club had a temporary switch of home ground to the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre which, in the event, lasted for one game. It has a capacity of 15,500, but can be and has been in the past expanded to 24,000 with temporary seating.

Carl Ludwig Willdenow

Carl Ludwig Willdenow (22 August 1765 – 10 July 1812) was a German botanist, pharmacist, and plant taxonomist. He is considered one of the founders of phytogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants. Willdenow was also a mentor of Alexander von Humboldt, one of the earliest and best known phytogeographers. He also influenced Christian Konrad Sprengel, who pioneered the study of plant pollination and floral biology.

Biography
Willdenow was born in Berlin and studied medicine and botany at the University of Halle. After studying pharmaceutics at Wieglieb College, Langensalza and in medicine at Halle, he returned to Berlin to work at his father's pharmacy located in the Unter den Linden. His early interest in botany was kindled by his uncle J. G. Gleditsch and he started a herbarium collection in his teenage years. In 1794, he became a member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences. He was a director of the Botanical garden of Berlin from 1801 until his death. In 1807, Alexander von Humboldt helped to expand the garden. There he studied many South American plants, brought back by Humboldt. He was interested in the adaptation of plants to climate, showing that the same climate had plants having common characteristics. His herbarium, containing more than 20,000 species, is still preserved in the Botanical Garden in Berlin. Some of the specimens include those collected by Humboldt.

Humboldt notes that as a young man, he was unable to identify plants using Willdenow's Flora Berolinensis. He subsequently visited Willdenow without an appointment and found him to be a kindred soul only four years older and in three weeks he became an enthusiastic botanist.

In his 1792 book, Grundriss der Kräuterkunde or Geschichte der Pflanzen Willdenow came up with an idea to explain restricted plant distributions. Willdenow suggested that it was based on past history with mountains surrounded by seas with different sets of plants initially restricted to the peaks which then spread downward and out with receding sea levels. This would fit with the Biblical notion of floods. This was contrary to earlier assertions by Eberhard August Wilhelm von Zimmermann that plants were distributed as they had been in the past and that there had been no changes.

British Heart Foundation

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is a cardiovascular research charity in the United Kingdom. It funds medical research related to heart and circulatory diseases and their risk factors, and runs influencing work aimed at shaping public policy and raising awareness.

In 2021, a study conducted by YouGov ranked the British Heart Foundation as the top charity or organisation in the UK by per cent of adults who hold a positive opinion of the organisation.

Foundation
The British Heart Foundation was founded in 1961 by a group from the queen's medical professionals who were concerned about the increasing death rate from cardiovascular disease. They wanted to fund extra research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart and circulatory diseases.

It is a major funder and authority in cardiovascular research, education, and care, and relies predominantly on voluntary donations to meet its aims. In order to increase income and maximise the impact of its work, it also works with other organizations to combat premature death and disability from cardiovascular disease.

Leadership
Dr Charmaine Griffiths has been the BHF's Chief Executive since February 2020, succeeding Simon Gillespie OBE. Professor Bryan Williams OBE became the charity's first Chief Scientific and Medical Officer (CSMO) in December 2023, after Professor Sir Nilesh Samani stood down as Medical Director after more than 7 years in the role.

The BHF's Board of Trustees is made up of up to 14 Trustees, and is a mix of medically-qualified and lay members:
 * David Boynton
 * Sarah Clarke (doctor)
 * Professor Sadaf Farooqi
 * Mark Fitzpatrick
 * Karen A. Frank
 * Timothy Howe KC
 * Dr Annalisa Jenkins
 * Professor David Lomas
 * Sharron Pamplin
 * Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed
 * Professor
 * Brian Walker

Karen A. Frank is the Chair of the Board of Trustees.

King Charles III has been the BHF's Patron since May 2024, succeeding Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Activities
The British Heart Foundation's main focus is to fund cardiovascular research, aiming to spend around £100 million a year funding scientists around the UK. They are currently funding over 1000 research projects.

Centres of Research Excellence
Since 2008 the BHF has been investing in Centres of Research Excellence. The six current centres bring together scientists from a number of disciplines to work on research projects to beat heart and circulatory disease. The current Centres of Research are:
 * University of Cambridge
 * University of Edinburgh
 * University of Glasgow
 * Imperial College London
 * King's College London
 * University of Oxford

Centres of Regenerative Medicine
In 2013 the BHF committed to funding three multi-institution Centres of Regenerative Medicine, investing £7.5 million over four years to fund scientists looking for new treatments for heart failure.

BHF Clinical Research Collaborative
The British Heart Foundation Clinical Research Collaborative was launched in 2019, hosted by the British Cardiovascular Society. Designed to support the planning of high-quality national cardiovascular research, it brings together professional societies, research groups and patient and public involvement to better coordinate and prioritise research efforts. It also launched a fund to support the development of clinical research in cardiovascular disease, providing grants from £5,000-20,000, and all topic ideas will be considered.

Other patients and public activities include:
 * Information – BHF provides information to help the public reduce their own heart health risk. It also provides numerous resources for patients to better manage their conditions, including the Heart Matters magazine and online hubs on risk factors such as blood pressure and obesity.
 * Campaigning – BHF influences government to establish policies that minimise the risk of developing heart and circulatory disease, including the funding of reports and research
 * Support – offering advice to those with heart conditions via their website, information booklets or heart helpline.
 * Life saving skills – the BHF currently offers free CPR kits to schools and is working with the Department of Health to distribute defibrillators throughout England.

In 2020, The British Heart Foundation had a net income of just over £107m. In the same year, the BHF spent over £93m on funding cardiovascular research.

The Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum
The charity announced, in June 2021, that it had joined forces with leading cardiovascular research funders around the world to form the Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum (GCRFF). In addition to the British Heart Foundation, the Forum's members are:
 * The American Heart Association
 * (The Danish Heart Foundation}
 * (The Dutch Heart Foundation)
 * (The Swiss Heart Foundation)
 * (German Centre for Cardiovascular Research: DZHK)
 * The Leducq Foundation
 * The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada
 * The Canadian Institutes of Health Research
 * The National Heart Foundation of Australia
 * The National Heart Foundation of New Zealand
 * The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)

The Big Beat Challenge
In 2019, The British Heart Foundation launched the Big Beat Challenge, a global competition with a single award of £30m for the research team who proposed a transformational solution to any cardiovascular disease. The Big Beat Challenge was open to applications from any country globally, and accepted proposals in any research area related to cardiovascular disease. Based on a panel of BHF research-funding committee members and an International Advisory panel, a shortlist was finalised in January 2020 to include a robotic heart, a 'Google map' of atherosclerosis, a project harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) and wearables to create a cardiovascular digital twin of a patient, and a genetic cure for inherited heart conditions.

CureHeart, led by co-PIs Professor Hugh Christian Watkins and Professor Christine Seidman, which aims to find a cure for genetic cardiomyopathies, was announced as the winner of the Big Beat Challenge in July 2022.

Fundraising
BHF fundraising events accounted for nearly £54m of income in 2019-20.

The BHF won the bid to be named as the London Marathon charity partner for the 2022 raise, aiming to raise £3m through the partnership to invest in clinical research.

The annual London to Brighton Bike Ride is a flagship fundraising event, with over 16,000 cyclists and raising over £2.8m. The event was cancelled two years in a row, in 2020 and 2021, and is expected to return in 2022 with PureGym as the sponsor.

Other annual campaigns include National Heart Month (held throughout February), Wear Red Day and The Big Donation as well as many other campaigns to recruit volunteers, raise awareness of BHF, increase retail sales and increase donations.

Retail Division
The BHF runs the largest network of charity shops in the UK, and generates income through online sales too. As of 2021, they run around 730 shops which include over 160 furniture and electrical shops selling up to 85,000 items daily. The BHF Retail division makes roughly £30 million every year.

Facts and figures

 * Since the BHF was established, the annual number of deaths from heart and circulatory diseases in the UK has fallen by around half.
 * Heart and circulatory diseases cause a quarter of all deaths in the UK, totally around 160,000 deaths.
 * Around 1.4 million people alive in the UK today have survived a heart attack.
 * Since 1961 the UK death rate from heart and circulatory diseases has declined by over three quarters.
 * Healthcare costs relating to heart and circulatory diseases are estimated at £9 billion each year.
 * Over 3,800 Heartstart UK schemes to educate people what to do in various emergency situations (not just cardiac emergencies). More than 3.5 million people have been trained by Heartstart UK in schools (for example via the Saving Londoners' Lives project) and the community.
 * Every year 1 in every 145 babies are born in the UK with a congenital heart defect.

Animal research
In June 2011, the British Heart Foundation was one of several health charities, alongside Cancer Research UK, the Alzheimer's Society and Parkinson's UK, targeted by animal rights pressure group Animal Aid, in a series of newspaper advertisements urging the public not to donate to the organizations under the pretence of funding experiments on animals. The pressure group argued that 100 dogs had died since 1988 during the experiments.

The BHF has responded to these criticisms by saying the charity only funds animal research after grant applications have gone through an independent peer review process and follows the three Rs principles when considering such grants.

Wealth screening
In 2016, the BHF was fined by the UK Information Commissioner's Office which ruled that the charity had breached data protection legislation by employing external bodies to analyse the financial status of supporters in order to appeal to them for further donations, a practice known as 'wealth screening'. The BBC reported that, "Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said donors had not been informed of the charity's practices, and were therefore unable to consent or object to them. She also suggested other charities could also be engaged in similar activities. The same BBC report noted that the charity's chief executive had stated that "the ICO's conclusions were 'wrong, disproportionate and inconsistent […] We find the decision surprising, as earlier this year in June the ICO praised our data handling. Our trustees will therefore consider whether it's in the interests of our supporters and beneficiaries to challenge this decision."
