Harley Race

Harley Leland Race (April 11, 1943 – August 1, 2019) was an American professional wrestler, promoter, and trainer.

Race wrestled in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), the American Wrestling Association (AWA), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He was an eight time world champion, having won the WWA World Heavyweight Championship once and the NWA World Heavyweight Championship seven times and was the first NWA United States Heavyweight Champion (now WWE United States Championship).

Race is one of six men to have been inducted into each of the WWE Hall of Fame, the NWA Hall of Fame, the WCW Hall of Fame, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame. He is widely considered as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.

Early life
Race was born in Quitman, Missouri, on April 11, 1943. Race was an early fan of professional wrestling, watching programming from the nearby Chicago territory on the DuMont Television Network. After overcoming polio as a child, he began training as a professional wrestler as a teen under former world champions Stanislaus and Wladek Zbyszko, who operated a farm in his native Missouri. While in high school, an altercation with a classmate led to the principal kneeing Race in the back of the head as he tried to break up the fight. Enraged, Race attacked him, resulting in his expulsion. Already 6 ft and 225 lb, Race decided to get his start in professional wrestling. Race then became the driver of Happy Humphrey who was too large to drive at the time.

Early career (1959–1965)
Race was recruited by St. Joseph wrestling promoter Gust Karras who hired Race to do odd jobs for his promotion, including chauffeuring the 800 lb Happy Humphrey. Eventually, Race started wrestling on some of his shows and some of Karras' veteran wrestlers helped further Race's training. At the age of 18, he moved to Nashville and began wrestling under the ring name of Jack Long, forming a tag team with storyline brother John Long. The duo quickly captured the Southern Tag Team Championship. Race was seen as a rising star in the business until a car accident put him out of action, with his leg nearly being amputated. His pregnant wife, Vivian Louise Jones, died instantly; they had been married just over a month. Karras heard about his employee's condition, went rushing into the hospital, and blocked the planned amputation, declaring it "over my dead body". In doing so, he saved Race's leg. Although he recovered, doctors told Race that he might never walk again, and his wrestling career was over. Undaunted, Race endured grueling physical therapy for several months and made a full recovery. Race next went on to work for Jack Pfefer and Tony Santos in the Boston territory as the Great Mortimer in 1963.

He returned to the ring in 1964, wrestling for Dory Funk's Amarillo, Texas, territory. This time, he wrestled as Harley Race, after his father told him that he should not work to make anyone else's name famous. Race never again used a different ring name. In Amarillo, Race met fellow up-and-coming wrestler Larry Hennig (later Larry "the Axe" Hennig and father of "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig). The two formed a tag team and moved to the American Wrestling Association (AWA).

American Wrestling Association (1963–1971, 1984–1986, 1990)
In the AWA, Race and Hennig branded themselves as "Handsome" Harley Race (which was actually a moniker given to him by fans in Japan ) and "Pretty Boy" Larry Hennig, portraying a cocky heel (villain) tag team with a penchant for breaking the rules to win matches. They quickly became top contenders, and in January 1965, they defeated Dick the Bruiser and the Crusher in the sold-out Minneapolis Auditorium to win the AWA World Tag Team Championship. Clips from the match aired on WCCO TV.

Two weeks after winning the titles, Race was involved in an altercation at The Chestnut Tree, a restaurant in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After Race confronted a man who was harassing a woman in the restaurant, knocking him unconscious, the man's friend, John Morton, stabbed Race in the back. Race was hospitalized and Morton was arrested.

Race and Hennig were designated to feud with the Bruiser and Crusher and other top teams for the next several years, and were given three title reigns. Verne Gagne, in particular, was promoted as a hated rival of the team, partnering with several other wrestlers in matches, against Race and Hennig during their AWA run. In October 1967, Gagne was credited with "breaking" one of Hennig's legs, thus giving him some much needed time off from the ring. Race (as the storyline went) was allowed to choose a new partner and retain the AWA World Tag Team Championship. Race's choice was Chris Markoff, but the duo was defeated in their first title defense match against the team of Pat O'Connor and Wilbur Snyder in November 1967. For the next several months, Race teamed with Hard Boiled Haggerty (Don Stansauk) who over the years presented Gagne with some of his greatest matches. Together, Race and Haggerty often were cast against Gagne and "Cowboy" Bill Watts. In March 1968, after Hennig's return to the ring, he and Race were back together, though the two never again won the AWA World Tag Team Championship. Despite his tag team success, Race left the AWA after several years at the top of the division to pursue a singles career in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA).

Race returned to the AWA in 1984 to wrestle Curt Hennig. The confrontation was fueled by Larry Hennig confronting his former tag team partner at the end of the match. Race also wrestled former AWA World Heavyweight Champion Rick Martel as part of WrestleRock in April 1986. Toward the end of his in-ring career, he returned to the AWA, most notably cast against Larry Zbyszko for an AWA World Heavyweight Championship match in August 1990, which was featured as the main event of an AWA broadcast on ESPN making it the final AWA television taping. The match ended in a double countout. AWA folded after the match.

National Wrestling Alliance (1962–1986)

Race jumped between National Wrestling Alliance territories in the early 1970s, renewing his rivalry with Funk in Amarillo, Texas and winning a regional title. He was seen as a gifted territorial wrestler, not quite ready for the worldwide spotlight, until 1973. In Kansas City, he did very well teaming with Roger "Nature Boy" Kirby. As a singles wrestler, he held the NWA Missouri Heavyweight Championship as well as the Mid-Atlantic version of the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship. He also started what would be many tours to Japan in All Japan Pro Wrestling where he faced Giant Baba. He worked with All Japan from 1973 to 1989. He frequently wrestled for the Kansas City-based Central States Wrestling.

In 1973, Race took the nickname "Mad Dog" and faced NWA World Heavyweight Champion Dory Funk Jr. in Kansas City. Race emerged from the battle as the new world champion in what was perceived by fans as a stunning upset. Behind the scenes, Funk had pulled out of losing the title to Jack Brisco, citing injuries in a truck accident; in truth, Amarillo promoter Dory Funk Sr. did not want his son losing the title to a fellow babyface (a fan favorite). Race, a known tough street fighter, was under orders from the NWA not to let Funk leave the ring as champion that night. The ending was a "work" with Funk dropping the title in a third fall as planned and TV announcer Bill Kersten dropping the "Mad Dog" nickname during the match.

A televised title defense from this first reign, held in Calgary against Klondike Bill, aired as the main event on an episode of the promotion's eponymous Stampede Wrestling program (where Race successfully defended his title), resurfaced during the 21st century as part of the WWE Video Library. Most of his televised matches of this era were squash matches held in television studios. Though Race held the title for only a few months, losing it to Brisco in Houston, Texas, in July, he became a worldwide superstar and perennial championship contender.

Race was determined to eventually regain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, often moving between territories and collecting several regional titles, including eight Central States Heavyweight Championships, seven Missouri Heavyweight Championships, the Georgia Heavyweight Championship, the Stampede North American Heavyweight Championship in Canada, the Japan-based NWA United National Heavyweight and PWF World Heavyweight Championships, and becoming the first holder of the Mid-Atlantic United States Heavyweight Championship, still defended today as the WWE United States Championship. This kept Race in contention for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, and Race vowed that he would only need one chance against the champion to regain it.

Race finally got his wish in 1977, facing familiar rival Terry Funk, who had become the champion since their previous encounters, in Toronto. Race won the title by submission with the Indian death lock, a rarely used submission move but one that put great pressure on Funk's injured leg. The NWA World Heavyweight Champion once again, Race this time established his dominance, defending the title up to six times a week and holding it for almost five years (excluding extremely short reigns by Tommy Rich, Dusty Rhodes, and Giant Baba). Race feuded with many of the legends of the NWA including Dory Funk, Dusty Rhodes, Dick the Bruiser, Pat Patterson and Angelo Poffo. In 1978, he had a series of violent matches throughout the Midwest with the Sheik, culminating in a bloody "2x4 with a nail in it" match in front of 12,313 at Cobo Hall. The NWA, AWA and WWF were on good terms, and Race engaged in title versus title matches with WWF Heavyweight champions Superstar Billy Graham and Bob Backlund, as well as AWA World Heavyweight Champion Nick Bockwinkel. Race toured extensively all over the country and the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and many stints in Japan, where he was already well known from his visits with Larry Hennig. On October 13, 1978, Race body slammed André the Giant. Race would repeat the feat on January 7, 1979, though it was outside the ring during the match.

Race, after many victories over Dusty Rhodes and other great wrestlers, lost the title to Rhodes in 1981. Rhodes lost the title to up-and-coming star Ric Flair, though Race was able to defeat Flair in St. Louis in 1983 for his seventh reign as champion, breaking the record previously held by Lou Thesz. What followed was one of the classic angles of the 1980s, which led to the first NWA Starrcade event.

Determined not to lose the title again, Race offered a $25,000 bounty to anyone who could eliminate Flair from the NWA. Bob Orton Jr. and Dick Slater attacked Flair, inflicting what appeared to be a career-ending neck injury, and collecting the bounty from Race after Flair announced his retirement. Flair's retirement was a ruse, however, and he eventually returned to action, much to Race's surprise. NWA officials set up a championship rematch, to be titled "Starrcade: A Flare for the Gold". The match was to be held in Flair's hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina, which enraged Race.

Shortly before the event, rival WWF promotor Vince McMahon offered Race $250,000 to no-show the event. After considering the offer to sabotage the event, Race declined and the match went ahead. Race lost the title to Flair in the bloody and memorable Starcade steel cage match (with Gene Kiniski as the special referee.) Flair jumped on top of Race from the top rope and pinned him to become champion.

Race regained the NWA World Heavyweight Championship for a two-day reign in New Zealand in 1984; after many years, it is now a recognized title change with Harley as an eight-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. However, his loss to Flair at Starcade was largely seen as the torch-passing from Race to Flair. Flair would go on to credit Race for igniting his career. Later, Race left the NWA because NWA president Sam Muchnick was "losing his capabilities".

World Wrestling Federation (1986–1989)
In May 1986, Race entered the WWF managed by longtime friend Bobby "the Brain" Heenan, bleaching his hair blond and billing himself again as "Handsome" Harley Race. He made his debut on May 31, 1986, at Superstars of Wrestling taping in Toronto, Canada, defeating SD Jones. Race was undefeated that summer in competition against George Wells, Lanny Poffo, Tony Garea, Cousin Luke, and Tony Atlas.

During a time when the WWF did not recognize the existence of other promotions and the accomplishments a wrestler made there, WWF officials came up with a solution to recognize his wrestling pedigree by having him win the King of the Ring tournament on July 14, 1986. After this Race had a "coronation ceremony", as he then had referred to himself as "King" Harley Race, coming to the ring in a royal crown and cape, to the ceremonial accompaniment of the tenth movement (known as "Great Gate of Kiev") of Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky. After winning a match, Race would make his defeated opponent "bow and kneel" before him. Usually Heenan would assist the defeated opponent to "bow and kneel" by grabbing their hair and forcing them to bow before Race.

He participated in a notable feud with the Junkyard Dog, culminating in a match at WrestleMania III at the Pontiac Silverdome, in which Race cleanly pinned JYD after a belly-to-belly suplex. JYD was required to bow to Race as the winner, but after he bowed and Race got up, JYD attacked Race before leaving with The King's cape to a standing ovation. Race would spend 1987 feuding with Hulk Hogan and Jim Duggan, who during a televised confrontation took Race's crown and robe, though Race later attacked Duggan and took them back. His feud with Duggan was highlighted by an extended brawl at the 1987 Slammy Awards. In early 1988, he suffered an abdominal injury in a match against Hogan in which he tried to hit Hogan, prone on a table at ringside, with a swan dive headbutt. Hogan moved out of the way and Race impacted the table inwards. The metal edge forced its way up into Race's abdomen giving him a hernia. Race continued to work with the injury through WrestleMania IV on March 27, 1988, where he participated in the event's battle royal.

Following this incident and during his recovery, the WWF ran an angle where they acknowledged his injury, and his manager Heenan vowed to crown a new king. Race was absent for six months, finally returning on October 15 to defeat B. Brian Blair in Milan, Italy. He rejoined The Heenan Family, participating with Bobby Heenan's team at Survivor Series. On Dec 3, 1988, on WWF Superstars he defeated Jim Gorman; after the match Race declared that he desired to regain the crown from Haku and complained that Bobby Heenan never visited him in the hospital. On December 17, 1988, at Philadelphia he defeated Danny Davis. After the victory he got onto the microphone and challenged Heenan to bring out Haku to face him. As the month drew to a close Race began to face King Haku on the house show circuit.

Despite Race's anger at his manager, Bobby Heenan came to the Royal Rumble match and cheered both Haku and the former king. Haku was victorious, and Harley Race departed from the WWF.

Post-WWF endeavors (1989–1990)
After leaving the WWF, Race continued to wrestle until the spring of 1991, most notably with World Wrestling Council (WWC) in Puerto Rico, Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, Alberta, the NWA, All Japan and the AWA. He defeated Miguel Perez Jr. for the WWC Caribbean Heavyweight Championship on January 6, 1990, in Puerto Rico making it his last title reign until dropping it to José González on March 4. After his appearance in AWA he briefly retired from wrestling.

World Championship Wrestling (1990–1995, 1999)
Race made his return to the promotion at The Great American Bash on July 7, 1990, when he defeated former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Tommy Rich. He began making appearances on house shows and immediately would fill in for Ric Flair in several tag team matches, pairing up with Barry Windham against Lex Luger and Sting. Race would continue a program with Rich through the rest of the summer, as well as facing Brian Pillman and Wendell Cooley. In September, he received several United States Heavyweight Championship title shots against then champion Lex Luger. In October, Race renewed his rivalry with the Junkyard Dog in two matches on the WCW house show circuit and finished the year facing Michael Wallstreet. During a house show match in St. Joseph, Missouri on December 7, 1990, Race sustained a shoulder injury and would ultimately retire from active competition.

Race made his first subsequent appearance six months later as a guest referee during a house show on June 14, 1991, in St. Louis, Missouri. One year after making his initial return on The Great American Bash in 1990, Race returned at the 1991 The Great American Bash to become the adviser/manager to Luger. Excelling as a manager as he had as a wrestler, he immediately led Luger to the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. He managed Luger throughout his title run, as well as acquiring the contract for Mr. Hughes from Alexandra York.

In 1992, Race began to add other wrestlers to a stable that would include Big Van Vader, Super Invader and Vinnie Vegas. The stable was short-lived, and after Vader defeated Sting for the world championship on July 12, 1992, he became Race's primary charge. During his management of Vader, Race met with racial controversy when Vader was feuding with WCW wrestler Ron Simmons when saying during a promo, "When I was world champion, I had a boy like you to carry my bags!". This was actually part of the booking strategy of then-WCW head Bill Watts to build support for Simmons, whom he would eventually make champion. The wily veteran was popular among the young WCW talent, and developed close friendships with Mick Foley and Steve Austin, among others. On June 9, 1993, at a TV taping in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Race began managing The Colossal Kongs, and on July 7 at the WorldWide tapings in Orlando, Florida, Yoshi Kwan joined the stable.

Race returned to the ring a final time on a trio of Florida house shows (November 26, 1993, in Davie, Florida, November 27 in Orlando, Florida and November 28 in Jacksonville, Florida), when he substituted for an injured Vader to face Flair. His former rival would come out victorious on each occasion. These would be the last wrestling matches of his career.

After losing the title at Starrcade in December 1993, Vader quickly became Race's sole stable member again. Race continued to manage Vader in the following months in rematches against Flair, and on May 22, 1994, he was inducted into the WCW Hall of Fame during the Slamboree PPV. He continued to appear at Vader's side through the rest of the year.

As his early wrestling career had been nearly derailed due to a car accident, another car accident in January 1995 forced Race out of the wrestling business altogether. Race required hip replacement surgery, which, along with injuries accumulated after years in the ring, prevented him from even being a manager. Race would make a few independent appearances against Flair, but his inability to work was just too great. Race would make one last return to WCW television in October 1999 as the ring announcer for the Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit tribute to Owen Hart match in his hometown of Kansas City.

Later career (2004–2019)
Race returned to WWE television in 2004 shortly after being inducted into their Hall of Fame. On an episode of Raw, Randy Orton confronted Race and spat in his face, to go with Orton's "Legend Killer" persona. Race returned again for Raw's WWE Homecoming episode in October 2005, marking the show's return to the USA Network.

In 2004, Race was recruited to be a part of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as a member of their NWA Championship Committee. Despite reportedly being an authority figure as a member of the committee, he never made any official decisions and only made the occasional on-screen appearance for the company.

At the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2007 ceremony on March 31, 2007, Race and Dusty Rhodes were "inducted" into the Four Horsemen by Ric Flair and Arn Anderson. On the August 8, 2008, episode of Monday Night Raw, Race sat in the front row and was acknowledged by commentators Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Before the show, Race accompanied then-GHC Heavyweight Champion Takeshi Morishima to the ring for a dark match against Charlie Haas.

Race also made an appearance at Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Lockdown pay-per-view in 2007 as the special guest gatekeeper for the main event. Race made a special guest appearance at the second night of Ring of Honor's Glory by Honor VI: Night Two at the Manhattan Center on November 3, 2007, in New York City. On January 4, 2014, Race took part in New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom 8 in Tokyo Dome event, participating in the title presentation before a match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and punching out defending champion Rob Conway's manager Bruce Tharpe.

Heart of America Sports Attractions (1973–1986)
Earlier in his career, Race became involved in the ownership side of wrestling, buying a portion of the Kansas City and later St. Louis territories known as Heart of America Sports Attractions. St. Louis was a stronghold of the NWA, and around this time in 1984, WWF owner Vince McMahon began his invasion of NWA territories, including St. Louis, in his ambition to build a truly national wrestling promotion. Race was enraged, famously confronting Hulk Hogan and the Funk brothers at a WWF event in Kansas City. Race lost over $500,000 as an owner of the Kansas City territory, and despite his championship years being at an end and wishing to retire from active competition, was forced to rely on continuing to wrestle to make a living. He continued to travel in the United States and abroad, and signed with McMahon's WWF in 1986.

World League Wrestling (1999–2019)
Race spent several years away from the business, working briefly as a process server before retiring with his wife in small-town Missouri. In 1999, he started World League Wrestling (originally called World Legion Wrestling, but the name was changed a year later), an independent promotion which runs shows near Race's hometown of Eldon, Missouri, and other cities in Missouri including Kansas City. A year later, he started Harley Race's Wrestling Academy, which seeks to train up-and-coming wrestlers who could benefit from Race's unique experience and perspective on the wrestling business. Race's events are family-oriented, and usually raise funds for local charities. As well as featuring his students, legends like Mick Foley, Terry Funk, Bret Hart, and even Mitsuharu Misawa have made guest appearances. WLW had a working agreement with Misawa's Japanese promotion, Pro Wrestling NOAH and had NOAH star Takeshi Morishima as a former heavyweight champion. He is credited with training Trevor Murdoch who was then known as Trevor Rhodes, and NOAH veterans Ace Steel, Superstar Steve, Brian Breaker, Jon Webb, Jason Jones, Curtis Deierling,Tommaso Ciampa, and Jack Gamble.

In 2014, Race and World League Wrestling relocated to Troy, Missouri. Along with relocating his wrestling academy and promotion, Race also built the Race Wrestling Arena - where events are put on once a month.

Personal life
Race was born to sharecroppers Jay Allen Race and Mary Race in 1943. Race married his first wife, Vivian Jones, in 1960. She died five weeks after their wedding in the same car crash in which Race nearly lost a leg. Shortly after Vivian's death, Race married Sandra Jones, who he briefly mentioned in his 2004 autobiography King of the Ring. This second marriage produced a daughter, Candice Marie, and ended in divorce. His third wife, Evon, divorced him in the early 1990s after over 30 years of marriage. Together they had a son, Justin, who was an amateur wrestler but never participated in professional wrestling. His fourth wife, Beverly (B.J.) was vice president of the Commerce Bank of Kansas City. They married in late 1995, shortly after Race's career-ending car crash. She often traveled with Race until she died of pneumonia. Race had five grandchildren.

Race continued running World League Wrestling (WLW) and his wrestling camp in Eldon, Missouri. He later moved the businesses to Troy. Many of his trainees were sent to the NOAH promotion in Japan for extra experience. Over the years he needed surgery to his neck, hip replacements, knee replacements and had five vertebra in his back fused together due to the years of taking hard bumps. In May 2017, he broke both legs in a fall at his home, one in several places. He needed four blood transfusions during surgery. Race would continue to promote WLW until his death whilst in rehab.

Illness and death
On March 1, 2019, Race's close friend Ric Flair announced that Race was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. On August 1, 2019, it was revealed by long time friend Dustin Rhodes that Race had died from lung cancer at the age of 76. He was buried next to his parents and one brother at Quitman Cemetery along Highway 113 in Quitman, Missouri.

Other media
Race participated in the 1998 NBC special, Exposed! Pro Wrestling's Greatest Secrets. His face was covered to conceal his identity as he broke kayfabe and discussed the inner workings of the business.

Race's autobiography, King of the Ring: the Harley Race Story (ISBN 1-58261-818-6), was released on November 19, 2004. Along with Ricky Steamboat and Les Thatcher, Race is author of The Professional Wrestler's Workout and Instructional Guide.

Race played himself as the distinguished ring announcer for a tag team match involving Mil Mascaras and El Hijo del Santo in the 2007 film Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy.

The career of Harley Race, became the subject of Vice TV's fifth season of the Dark Side of the Ring.

Sam Brown (Rastafari)

Ras Sam Brown (16 December 1925 – August 1998) was a Jamaican Rastafari elder.

About
He was well known in Kingston for his politics after he participated in the elections of 1961 with his Suffering People's Party. He received fewer than 100 votes. However, by being the first Rasta to ever stand for politics, his influence has been greater than this statistic suggests. At the time there was a generalised feeling in the Rastafarian faith that they do not vote.

Leonard E. Barrett includes an interview with Brown in his 1977 book The Rastafarians whom he describes as "one of the most complex personalities within the Rastafarian movement". Barrett also provides extracts from Brown's election campaign literature. Barrett refers to Brown's political party as the Black Man's Party rather than The Suffering People' Party, though he also quotes the party's position that all were free to join regardless of colour. Also included in his book is a photograph captioned "rare photograph of a Rastafarian political party symbol", depicting a group of Rastafarians (one of whom may be Brown) standing by a placard advertising Brown's campaign.

In 1996, Brown became a roots reggae singer and poet with an album called History, Past and Present. He died while attending an international trade fair in Barbados in 1998.

Works
He took advantage of his influence within the movement to give 21 principles to Rastafari which can be summarized in 10, as he himself said in Treatise on the Rastafarian Movement, Caribbean Studies 1966, Vol. 6,1:40 :

"The Rastafarian is he who bow the knee to God (Rastafari) alone. We are those who obey strict moral and divine laws, based on the Mosaic tenet:

(1) We strongly object to sharp implements used in the desecration of the figure of Man, e. g., trimming and shaving, tattooing of the skin, cuttings of the flesh.

(2) We are basically vegetarians, making scant use of certain animal flesh yet outlawing the use of swine's flesh in any form, shell fishes, scaleless fishes, snails, etc.

(3) We worship and observe no other God but Rastafari, outlawing all other forms of Pagan worship yet respecting all believers.

(4) We love and respect the brotherhood of mankind, yet our first love is to the sons of Ham.

(5) We disapprove and abhor utterly hate, jealousy, envy, deceit, guile, treachery, etc.

(6) We do not agree to the pleasures of present-day society and its modern evils.

(7) We are avowed to create a world order of one brotherhood.

(8 ) Our duty is to extend the hand of charity to any brother in distress, firstly for he is of the Rastafari order - secondly to any human, animals, plants, etc., likewise.

(9) We do adhere to the ancient laws of Ethiopia.

(10) Thou shall give no thought to the aid, titles and possessions that the enemy in his fear may seek to bestow on you; resolution to your purpose is the love of Rastafari."

What about the CLK GTR?? Anyone? CLK GTR

Agreed, there should be more info on the CLK-GTR than just a single line on dates of production.

On a related matter, the following line is incorrect:

"In order to retain a small dedicated racing team, H.W.A GmbH was founded by H.-W. Aufrecht in 1999. Their first car was the ill-fated Mercedes-Benz CLR."

HWA GmbH had produced the rather successful CLK-GTR (success defined in this case by winning the 1998 FIA GT Championships). It seems odd to include the mention of the 2-off CLR which was a derivative of the GTR intended specifically for Le Mans, but not mention the CLK-GTR which raced in 15 or more races. Also HWA also produced the CLK-GTR road cars up until 2004.

I think references are needed on the formation of the HWA organization. In any case, it looks like we could do a little updating to the page.Renn208 05:06, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

What about the Black Series? Good that we have the models pinned down, but is there anything else that can be said about the cars and the series in general? When will the vehicles be available to the public if the are not already? What is the history behind their creation? Something a little more than just "these are them."

Pagani Zonda
Since there are examples of mitsubishi cars that have amg engines, shouldnt the pagani zonda be included in this article as well? (Antonio.sierra 21:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC))

Non-Mercedes models
There isn't any mention of AMG's non-mercedes models in the article at all, such as the aforementioned Mitsubishis. It reads almost like an ad for Mercedes itself. I would make the changes myself, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to do so.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories

'Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories, known in Japan as Yu-Gi-Oh! Shin Duel Monsters' (遊戯王真デュエルモンスターズ封印されし記憶), is a video game loosely based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime series. The game was released exclusively for the PlayStation console in December 1999 in Japan and in 2002 in other regions.

The storyline of Forbidden Memories takes on a dual setting in Ancient Egypt and current-day Domino City. The players play the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game alongside characters that appear in the series.

Characters
Throughout most of the game, the protagonist is Atem, the Prince of Ancient Egypt. After the high priest Heishin overthrows the Pharaoh, Atem sets out to free Egypt from Heishin's rule. It is later revealed that Heishin seeks to usher the return of Nitemare, an ancient evil wizard.

Part of the game takes place in modern times. For this part, the protagonist is Yugi Mutou. He is taking part in a tournament when he is tasked by Atem with retrieving relics that the Prince needs to complete his quest, which are held by some of the contestants in the tournament.

Plot
The game begins in ancient Egypt, with Prince Atem sneaking out of the palace to see his friends, Jono and Teana, at the dueling grounds. While there, they witness a ceremony performed by the mages, which is darker than the ceremonies that they normally perform. After the ceremony, Atem duels one of the priests, named Seto, and defeats him.

When Atem returns to the palace, he is quickly sent to bed by Simon Muran, his tutor and advisor. As Simon walks away, he is informed by a guard that the high priest Heishin has invaded the palace, using a strange magic. Muran searches for Heishin. When Muran finds him, Heishin tells Muran that he has found the Dark Power, then uses the Millennium Rod to blast Muran. When Heishin finds Atem, he threatens to kill the Egyptian king and queen if he does not hand over the Millennium Puzzle. Muran appears behind Heishin and tells Atem to smash the puzzle. Atem obeys, and Muran seals himself and Atem inside the puzzle, to wait for someone to reassemble it.

Five thousand years later, Yugi Mutou reassembles the puzzle. He speaks to Atem in the puzzle, and Atem gives Yugi six blank cards. Not sure what they are for, he carries them into a Dueling Tournament. After he defeats one of the duelists, one of the cards is filled with a Millennium item. Realizing what the cards are for, Yugi completes the tournament and fills all six cards with Millennium items. This allows Atem to return to his time.

Once in his own time, Muran tells Atem of what has happened since he was sealed away. Heishin and the mages have taken control of the kingdom with the Millennium items, and that the only way to free the kingdom is to recover the items from the mages guarding them. After passing this on, Muran dies.

After he catches up with Jono and Teana, he goes to the destroyed palace and searches it. He finds Seto, who gives him a map with the locations of the mages and the Millennium items, and asks him to defeat the mages.

After Atem recovers all of the Millennium items but one, Seto leads him to Heishin, who holds the Millennium Rod. Atem defeats Heishin, but discovers that Seto has the Millennium Rod, and merely wanted to use Atem to gather the items in one place. Atem duels Seto for the items and defeats him, but after the duel, Heishin grabs the items and uses them to summon the DarkNite. Hoping to use the DarkNite to destroy his enemies, he doesn't have the item to prove his authority and as a result, the DarkNite instead turns Heishin into a card. Heishin now turned into a playing card, DarkNite now mocks Heishin before incinerating the card. After Atem shows that he had the Millennium Items, DarkNite challenges him to a duel. Atem defeats him, and he transforms into Nitemare, who challenges Atem again. Atem defeats him again, and Nitemare begrudgingly returns from where he came. Atem then is able to take the throne and lead his people in peace.

Game mechanics
The mechanics of this game differ from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, and these differences are also contiguous with the PS2 game Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses, but are not the same. The main differences are: The following example is used in the manual: "when "Gaia the Dragon Champion" (AP:2600) chooses Mercury and attacks "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (AP:3000 and in attack position), "Gaia" has his AP increased to 3100, making it possible to defeat "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"."
 * A deck must be made up of exactly forty cards.
 * Summoning a monster normally (without using a Ritual Card) does not require any sort of tribute. For example, if one held a Blue-Eyes White Dragon card in their hand and wanted to summon it, one can place it on the field, rather than tribute two other monsters.
 * At the start of the player's turn, he or she draw from his or her deck until his or her hand consists of five cards; if the deck does not hold enough cards for the player to draw, the player loses the duel.
 * The player must play at least one card to the field after drawing.
 * Cards can be "fused" in the hand without the card Polymerization; the player can fuse any amount of his or her cards together and in any order, but the chance of a "successful" fusion (where a new monster or magic or trap is made, or when a monster is strengthened) depends on the cards the player is fusing.
 * After fusion, cards can only be played face-up. Traps that are played face-up are not activated until their condition is met, but those produced as a result of fusion are immediately activated (often to no effect).
 * When any magic or trap card is fused with a monster that is not compatible, the magic or trap card is discarded and the monster is unaffected.
 * Playing ritual cards to summon ritual monsters requires specific monsters to be on the field in order to work; for instance, "Serpent Night Dragon" is summoned by playing Revived [sic] of Serpent Night Dragon while Darkfire Dragon, Dragoness the Wicked Night and Obese Marmot of Nefariousness are in play; this differs from the rules of Ritual Spell Cards in the TCG, which simply requires tributing monster cards with combined levels equal to the Ritual Monster.
 * There is no Special Summoning; fused and ritual monsters are simply considered normal summons.
 * Monster cards must select one of two "Guardian Stars", which allow a monster to gain five hundred attack and defense points if it has chosen a superior alignment against its opposing card; these alignments are taken directly from cosmic bodies and are arranged as follows (> means "is superior to"):
 * Mercury > Sun > Moon > Venus > Mercury
 * Mars > Jupiter > Saturn > Uranus > Pluto > Neptune > Mars
 * The Guardian Stars selected represent the type of the monster. In the 3-D battle sequence the attack the monster uses depends on the guardian star selected. For example, when you summon Meteor-Black Dragon you are given the choice of Sun or Mars. Choosing Mars will cause Meteor-Black Dragon to use a fire attack and give it an attack bonus against Jupiter (typically plant-type) monsters.
 * Mercury represents monsters from the Black Magic alignment.
 * Sun represents monsters from the White Magic alignment.
 * Moon represents monsters from the Demon Magic alignment.
 * Venus represents monsters from the Illusion Magic alignment.
 * Mars represents monsters from the Fire alignment.
 * Jupiter represents monsters from the Forest alignment
 * Saturn represents monsters from the Wind alignment
 * Uranus represents monsters from the Earth alignment
 * Pluto represents monsters from the Thunder alignment
 * Neptune represents monsters from the Water alignment
 * During the battle phase, after attacking and before damage is calculated, pressing square will take the player to a polygonic action battle screen. However, there is no automatic select in option screen or indications on screen. So if purchased without a book, you will never know this except by accident.
 * Cards that cannot be used at that time are darkened (once a monster has attacked, its card darkens.)
 * Pressing start will end the player's turn.
 * Cards can be played in attack or defense mode, face-up or face-down. Hence, a monster can be played in face-down attack mode. However, the card flips over after it attacks.

Other information

 * The game is sold in a 2-disc PlayStation game case, yet the game is only one disc. The reason for this is because the manual for this game is much bigger than a typical PlayStation game.
 * Despite what is known in the anime, Seto and Kaiba are referred to as two different people in the game, Seto being the ancient Egyptian ancestor of Kaiba.

Reception
In Japan, the game sold 510,804 units. In the United States and Europe, the game sold 2 million units. This adds up to 2,510,804 units sold worldwide.

The game received "mixed" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.

Sequel
The game was followed by a sequel, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses (遊戯王真デュエルモンスターズII 継承されし記憶, Yu-Gi-Oh Shin Deyueru Monsutazu Tzū Keishō Sareshi Kioku; Game King New Duel Monsters II Inherited Memories), released on September 6, 2001 in Japan and on February 16, 2003 in North America for the PlayStation 2.

Shadow toll

A shadow toll is a contractual payment made by a government per driver using a road to a private company that operates a road built or maintained using private finance initiative funding. Payments are based, at least in part, on the number of vehicles using a section of road, often over a 20- to 30-year period. The shadow tolls or per vehicle fees are paid directly to the company without intervention or direct payment from the users.

On more recent shadow toll schemes in the United Kingdom, payments reduce as the number of vehicles increase, to encourage availability of the road rather than the number of vehicles carried.

History
First proposed by the UK Government in 1993, shadow tolls have been widely used in the UK and also to a more limited extent in other countries, including Belgium, Canada, Finland, Netherlands, Spain and the United States. Portugal introduced schemes in 1999 but replaced these with the public tolls in 2004.

The use of shadow tolls in the UK has reduced over time with PFI funded project payments being made based primarily on the availability of the road, and not on the number of vehicles using it. Beyond a certain number of vehicles, the 'toll' paid by the government in more recent schemes is zero.

Criticism
The World Bank observes that transaction costs 'can be very high' due to the difficulties surrounding legal arrangements and the need for continuous vehicle counts and that use of shadow tolls has led to significant criticism in The Netherlands.

The Portuguese government removed shadow tolls in 2004 after finding that "payment obligations in connection with the shadow toll system were not compatible with the need to spend on improving and maintaining the other national motorways".

Talk:Clifton (comics)

De rennende stem, Le mystère de la voix qui court
Is this a Clifton Album ? I saw it was first pubished in a Tintin magazine in 1970. Was it then re-published in the album format ? Lvr 15:39, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No, it wasn't ever a separate album, but has been published at least eight times in five languages in various magazines during the period 1970 to 1990. Read . Wim van Dorst 20:53, 8 January 2006 (UTC).
 * Hello Wim, did you see my answer to your question on my talk page ? I think I will put back all Dutch titles, along with them in French. Lvr 09:53, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure Laurent, I did read your answer, and agree to the solution. I just didn't come round to actually do it myself, so I'm pleased to learn you'll do all the work. Feel free to add more details than just the titles in two languages: find them on my personal website (see above). Wim van Dorst 20:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC).

Article name
Perhaps this article should move to Clifton (comics) as per WP:NAME. M URGH  disc.  02:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I can't find any reference indicating this name change in WP:NAME, nor in WP:NCC. Could you please pinpoint your (the?) arguments to do this move? Wim van Dorst (Talk)'' 23:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC).
 * WP:NCC Nothing controversial, just that disambig is kept as simple as possible, avoiding capitals to differentiate from proper names. This is not published by a company called Comic Book. - M URGH  disc.  00:15, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, since it indeed has to be moved anyway for wrong capitalization, we can take the opportunity to move it to a simpler name (more consistent with many other comics articles), so I support! 06:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Okay, you have persuaded me. Go ahead. Wim van Dorst (Talk)'' 23:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

Belgian magazines
Citing article: The cartoonists worked with original French language stories, whereas all were published simultaneously in French and Dutch, the two main Belgian languages, in the weekly French language magazines Tintin and Junior, and Dutch language Kuifje and Ons Volkske, all published by Lombard Editions in Brussels. I know that Kuifje is the Flemish (Dutch) edition of Tintin, but I wonder whether Ons Volkske is the Flemish edition of Junior. The way it stands now, it looks like it's four completely different magazines, while, afaik, the content for Tintin and Kuifje were nearly identical, except for the language. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 00:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello Wakuran, yes, you have understood completely correct: four autonomous magazines with Kuifje and Tintin having a related content, and Ons Volkse and Junior not at all.  Wim van Dorst  (talk)  22:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC).

Champagne Bath

The Champagne Bath, officially the Champagne Fitness Centre, is a historic public bath in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 321 King Edward Avenue in Lower Town.

Originally, the structure was built for the greater hygiene of the largely working class residents of the neighbourhood, many of whom had no baths in their homes. The structure was also originally home to a library. Work began on the building in 1921 and it was completed in 1924. The building, a blend of the Spanish Colonial Revival and Prairie Styles, was designed by Werner Ernst Noffke. It was named after Ottawa mayor Napoléon Champagne. It was Ottawa's first municipal swimming pool and was one of the first indoor pools in Canada. The pool was also unusual in that it used salt water, which meant it did not need to be chlorinated. It was soon followed by the Plant Bath, which was built on the western side of town.

It was segregated by sex until 1967 with separate ground level entrances for women and men. While popular for many years, usage declined as the facility aged. In the 1980s, after the completion of the Le Patro facility, the city proposed closing the Champagne Bath. After public protest it was decided to renovate instead, at the cost of some two million dollars. The transformed facility opened in 1990.

Lion's roar (instrument)

The lion's roar is a membranophone instrument that has a drum head and a cord or horsehair passing through it. It gets its name from the sound it produces, which closely resembles a lion's roar. The home-made lion's roar is a drum that sits on the floor. The cord then makes friction with the drum head as it is moved back and forth.

Classification
According to the Gary D. Cook classification system of musical instruments, it is a chordophone because it produces sound through the vibration of strings. It can also be classified as a friction drum.

Form
The lion's roar consists of a cylindrical or bucket-shaped vessel with one end open and the other closed with a membrane. A length of cord or gut is fastened through a hole in the centre of the membrane; the cord is resined and rubbed with coarse fabric or a glove, producing a passable imitation of a lion's roar.

In the past this was always a two-handed operation – one hand held the cord taut, the other gripped and slid up the cord, but in the late 20th century Kolberg produced a mounted model, with the cord held taut, requiring only one hand. In another version of the instrument, the end of the string is loosely secured to a wooden handle to form a whirled friction drum.

Amelia Heinle

Amelia March Luckinbill (formerly Weatherly; born March 17, 1973) is an American actress known for her roles in American soap operas. Her best known role is Victoria Newman, who she has portrayed on The Young and the Restless since 2005.

Early life
Amelia March Heinle was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and has four younger siblings. She grew up in Arizona and moved to New Jersey with her family when she was 15 years old.

Career
From 1993 to 1995, she played the role of Stephanie "Steffi" Brewster on the soap opera Loving. She also played the character for two months in that show's short-lived spin off The City from November 1995 until January 1996. In 1994, she was nominated for a Soap Opera Digest Award for "Outstanding Female Newcomer".

Through the 1990s, she appeared in many made for TV movies, as well as a role in the 1999 Steven Soderbergh film The Limey (as Peter Fonda's girlfriend). She appeared in the music video for "I Will Buy You a New Life" by Everclear.

In 2000 Heinle played the part of Harriet Hemings in Sally Hemings: An American Scandal, a short two part made for television film.

In 2001, she returned to daytime television, this time in the role of Mia Saunders on All My Children, the heretofore unknown half-sister of Liza Colby (Marcy Walker). Although she started as a front-burner character, her romantic pairing with Jake Martin (J. Eddie Peck) didn't work out because of the actor's exit from the show, with Mia relegated to a background character. In 2004, Heinle opted not to renew her contract with All My Children and left the show.

On March 21, 2005, Heinle joined the cast of the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless, as Victoria Newman, replacing the popular Heather Tom in the role. She won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2014 and again in 2015 for the role.

In April 2009, Heinle appeared in season 4, episode 20, of Ghost Whisperer, entitled "Stage Fright", with husband Thad Luckinbill and fellow daytime drama actress Lesli Kay.

Personal life
In February 1995, she married her Loving co-star and on-screen love interest, Michael Weatherly. On January 10, 1996, Heinle gave birth to their only child, a son named August. She and Weatherly divorced in 1997.

In March 2007, she married her Young and the Restless co-star, Thad Luckinbill, notable for portraying her onscreen ex-husband, J.T. Hellstrom. Their first child together, a son, Thaddeus Rowe, was born on November 2, 2007. Their second child, a daughter, Georgia March, was born on December 17, 2009.

Heinkel He 118

The Heinkel He 118 was a prototype German monoplane dive bomber design that lost out to the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka in the 1930s, and was never ordered by the Luftwaffe.

Design
Designed by the Günter brothers, the He 118 followed many of the design notes of the Günter's designs of the era, notably the elliptical wing planform and rounded tail surfaces. It was in many ways an aluminum version of the mixed-construction Heinkel He 70 Blitz (Lightning), strengthened for dive bombing.

It was a conventional cantilever monoplane with an inverted gull wing of elliptical planform mounted midway up the fuselage. It was considerably more streamlined than the Junkers competitor, with retractable landing gear and an internal bomb bay.

As designed it was limited to filling a role similar to an attack bomber like the Henschel Hs 123 rather than a true dive bomber like the Junkers Ju 87. It was limited to bombing from a shallow angle, more properly known as "glide bombing", with the second crew member acting as the bomb aimer.

Production and testing
In trials, it was discovered that the maximum dive angle was only 50°. In June 1936, Ernst Udet took the He 118 on a test flight but after commencing his first dive from about 13,000 feet the propeller suddenly feathered, shearing the reduction gears, and the He 118 disintegrated, leaving Udet to parachute to safety. The Ju 87 repeatedly demonstrated dives at 90 degrees with no trouble, and so won the contract.

Heinkel complained in his biography that Udet ignored instructions and flew the aircraft outside of its limits. He suggests that the failure doomed his design, in spite of being unable to dive vertically like the Stuka.

Of the 15 He 118s built, two went to Japan where they were designated DXHe, however the aircraft disintegrated during Japanese flight tests. The 13-Shi (1939) design specification that led to the Yokosuka D4Y naval dive bomber may have been inspired by the He 118, but otherwise the two aircraft had little in common.

Heinkel used another example as a flying testbed for the Heinkel HeS 3 turbojet, with the jet engine slung under its fuselage. Although its pilot took off and landed using the He 118's piston engine, he started the turbojet engine in flight and flew under its power in July 1939, the first time an aircraft flew under jet power. The following month the similarly powered, fixed conventional landing gear-fitted Heinkel He 178 V1 would make the first flight powered entirely by a turbojet engine.

Variants

 * He 118 : Dive bomber prototypes.
 * He 118A-1 : Eight production aircraft, powered by a 634 kW (850 hp) DB 600C engine.
 * DXHe1: Two He 118s supplied to the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service for evaluation in 1938.

Operators

 * Imperial Japanese Navy

Rickmansworth station

Rickmansworth is an interchange railway station in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire,  northwest of central London, served by the London Underground Metropolitan line and by Chiltern Railways. It is one of the few London Underground stations beyond Greater London and as a consequence is in Travelcard Zone 7. The station is a good location to alight from to explore the Chess Valley.

History
The line to Rickmansworth was authorised in 1880 and the station opened on 1 September 1887 as the terminus of the Metropolitan Railway's extension from Pinner. In 1889, the line was extended from Rickmansworth to Chesham. Rickmansworth was shared with the Great Central Railway which reached Quainton Road in 1898. The extension of Metropolitan Line electrification brought electric services out to Rickmansworth on 5 January 1925, allowing the locomotive change point to be moved (north of Rickmansworth steam traction was provided by the LNER).

In 1925 another platform was constructed at the south end of the station for the Watford branch shuttle. There was a proposal in the New Works Programme to extend electrification to Aylesbury, but this was postponed at the outbreak of the Second World War. Afterwards, electrification reached Amersham with British Rail trains completing the journey to Aylesbury. The Rickmansworth-Watford shuttle ceased and the final steam train ran on 10 September 1961.

Electric locomotive-hauled trains on the Metropolitan were replaced with A60 and A62 Stock. In 1987 the shuttle to Watford resumed, but only one each way, early morning and late evening. This was later extended to Amersham when the new S8 Stock was introduced.

Rickmansworth is still one of few locations on the Met where train drivers are based and remains a changeover point for drivers on the Metropolitan line. The majority of LU trains heading north are timetabled to stop at Rickmansworth for about five minutes to change train staff. Rickmansworth hosts the headquarters of the operational side of the northern section of the Met, controlling signals on the line from Northwood to Watford and Chorleywood. Many evening-running Metropolitan trains terminate at Rickmansworth due to the number of sidings near the station.

In 2018, it was announced that the station would gain step free access by 2022, as part of a £200m investment to increase the number of accessible stations on London Underground.

Services
On London Underground, the station is served by trains on the Metropolitan line to Amersham and to Chesham from Baker Street and at peak times from Aldgate.

On National Rail, Rickmansworth is served by Chiltern Railways between and Aylesbury via. During peak-times, some Chiltern Line trains do not stop at Rickmansworth.

There are two tracks through the station, shared in both directions by London Underground and National Rail trains. A short third bay platform (now severed) is no longer used, but used to be the terminus for shuttles to Watford. There are occasional services between Rickmansworth and which use the 'North Curve' of track, in the 2021 timetable there are two early in the morning plus one late in the evening.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Harold Clifton

Harold Clifton
The Wikipedia page about Colonel Sir Harold Wilberforce Clifton is concise and complete, covers all important things, and as such is a good example for a dictionary page. Therefore I humbly think that it would be appropriate Featured Article.

Wim van Dorst 21:26, 2005 Feb 17 (UTC)

 * Object: 1) References. 2) The biggest part of the article is a timeline. 3) Why has this character become one of the most loved, humorous comics heroes? 4) How has this character influenced other literature and comics? 5) The only image is a caricature portrait; with all of the publications, I'd think that an image of one of the book covers would be appropriate as well. 6) Has this character appeared anywhere else (for example, on a postage stamp)? slambo 21:46, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

5). I considered indeed putting up book covers, but I think they are copyrighted, and thus cannot be used for publication. Can they? Wim van Dorst 22:06, 2005 Feb 17 (UTC)
 * Isn't it clear that this is an article about a comic book character? So the picture isn't a caricature: it is Harold Clifton. 1) and 6) There is very limited literature about Clifton. Believe me: I searched. Or do you mean that the given references are not good? 2) Yes, but is that wrong? Would you want an in-depth analysis about a comic book character? 4) He didn't: Clifton is rather stand-alone in comic books.

 * Yes, it is clear that it is a comic book character; surely, this isn't the only image of him? What resources were used to collect the data that is in the article?  List the references that you used to gather the data in a format like is described on cite your sources.  I believe we can have an in-depth analysis of a comic book character; compare the article content with that of Spider-Man, Robin (Batman) (himself a supporting character for Batman), Daffy Duck, X-men, Iron Man or even  Dick Tracy.  I don't think a character can be one of the most loved, humorous comics heroes without influencing other artists or authors. Before you ask, I have been through this process with two of my own articles Passenger car (failed nomination, I'm still gathering data to address the objections that were raised), and John Bull (locomotive) (reached featured status). slambo 22:38, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

 * I won't ask: you make a clear and useful point. I'll work on it Wim van Dorst 22:50, 2005 Feb 17 (UTC)

 * The pictures you've added really help. I've updated the code for the pictures so that they display at a smaller size and don't crowd the text into a narrow column. slambo 02:43, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * Object: I had never heard of this character, I know little more from reading this page. Giano 22:20, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Wim van Dorst 22:50, 2005 Feb 17 (UTC)
 * From the point of not knowing anything about it (reasonable start for a FA), you are fully right. I see that now too: the article is completely written from the 'I know a little about it, and need some background'. I'll elaborate the explanation text with in-depth analysis. Obviously, Slambo's comments falls into same place. Thanks both.

 * Object. As already pointed out, it has no references, one of the basic featured article criteria. As a courtesy to other editor's time, please do not nominate an article that does not meet the basic criteria. - Taxman 23:51, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

Comment answering above objections Wim van Dorst 00:42, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC)
 * The information has now been rescheduled and elaborated, as to present a clear picture of who the Clifton character is. I present it as answering to the first group of comments 'additional explanation needed.
 * Pictures have been added of two major contributors. I'm still hesitant to include actual book covers, as that kind of information is copyrighted. Is this enough?
 * References: there is no paper book or article about Clifton, so the major references, apart from the comic books themselves, will be reference websites. I'll add some more in the near future.
 * Wim, I accept you are really trying to improve this page, but it has a very very long way to go, perhaps it would be a good idea to have a look at some other already featured articles on similar subjects, then either withdraw it or place it on peer review while you work on it. Giano 16:15, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I would have to second that. Refer to PR. - Taxman 16:09, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:List of radio stations in Massachusetts

I know of a few to add, but didn't want to do so without community disussion. The one downside I see is that such stations are usually transient and unrealiable, and have limited range -- the converse side is that they offer a perspective not found on commercial radio, and are hard for people to find -- this is a worthwhile place to inform people. Or is it? EggplantWizard 21:26, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * If it was still on the air I'd probably have added Allston-Brighton Free Radio by now, but it's really a judgement call when it gets down to LP, pirate, and Part 15 radio stations. Those that have some standing might pass muster, but as far as tracking the transients go I think WikiSource or WikiCities might be the place for such a list. Another point worth considering is that if you're specifically listing pirate stations, it may be doing them a disservice to make their existence public record. Clandestine operations are not big on disclosure. Haikupoet 02:25, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

By Callsign, not Frequency
Seems to me it's more useful to be able to look up by callsign. If whoever wanted a list by frequency wants to create one, fine, but please do a separate list by frequency and don't mess this one up. Haikupoet 01:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Their didn't seam to be any order to it before. I think why i did it by frequency was because that's how you'd find them on the dial. --Zach 02:13, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It may have gotten messed up at some point. It was supposed to be alphabetical by callsign, so someone must have screwed it up to get into the condition you found it. Haikupoet 02:21, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Listing by frequency
I wanted to go about creating a listing by frequency and was woundering how I should name it. Also, should the title of this page be changed to reflect the fact that this list is sorted by callsign? Should the template be changed? Zach 13:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Accidents and Incidents
On August 24, 2023, Air Antilles flight 3S722 veered off of runway 28 at the Saint Barthélemy airport moments after touchdown. The aircraft involved was a DHC-6-400 Twin Otter registered F-OMYS. The Twin Otter then stuck a parked and unoccupied helicopter that had landed 30 minutes prior. While none of the six onboard the Twin Otter were seriously injured, the high speed impact caused substantial damage to both aircraft.

The pilots blamed the loss of directional control on a steering issue. Furthermore, video evidence shows F-OMYS having steering difficulties while taxiing at Saint Barth only ten days prior to the crash.

Air Antilles was temporarily suspended from flying to Saint Barth following the accident.
