List of notable schools in the United States
This article is already more than 30 kilobytes. I suggest moving the contents to five different pages or subpages to break it all up and make this a disambiguation page. 69.212.70.25 23:24, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Page 1
 * This page will contain 9 different states and the District of Columbia.
 * Main article: List of notable schools in the United States (Alabama-Florida), List of notable schools in the United States/Alabama-Florida

 * Page 2
 * This page will contain 10 different states.
 * Main article: List of notable schools in the United States (Georgia-Maine), List of notable schools in the United States/Georgia-Maine

 * Page 3
 * This page will contain 10 different states.
 * Main article: List of notable schools in the United States (Maryland-New Hampshire), List of notable schools in the United States/Maryland-New Hampshire

 * Page 4
 * This page will contain 10 different states.

 * Page 5
 * This page will contain 11 different states.
 * Main article: List of notable schools in the United States (South Carolina-Wyoming), List of notable schools in the United States/South Carolina-Wyoming

 * The above was my suggestion. If anyone wants to go ahead with it, then just do it. 69.212.70.25 23:32, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Remark. Several anon votes for retaining the article were ignored as per deletion policy.
 * Keep This, I changed my mind. It will only confused the viewers. 69.212.70.25 04:00, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * P.S. We still haven't figured out whether the District of Columbia or Washington, D.C. is the correct term.
 * I'm in favor of deleting the entire list, as it is inherently un-encyclopedic (qv the List of Shopping Malls in VfD/Feb 18th). It's far too tempting for people to simply list all the schools they know in here, and most schools aren't notable to begin with. Radiant! 09:48, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * See, for example, the entries for Tacoma, Washington—every last elementary, middle, and high school is listed there as "notable". —Korath (Talk) 20:26, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wouldn't a category be much more appropriate? Carrp | Talk 14:47, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * The category would be just as unencyclopedic as the list. Radiant! 20:51, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, inherently POV. —Korath (Talk) 20:26, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to List of schools in the United States. Then the schools don't have to be notable. 68.23.97.209 23:59, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Why don't you delete other lists (List of schools in Japan, List of schools in New Zealand, List of schools in Singapore, List of schools in the United Kingdom, etc.) too then, huh? 68.23.97.209 00:05, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Don't bother with it anymore. 68.23.97.209 02:38, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Good point, I've nominated those for deletion as well. Any others you want to mention? Radiant! 08:50, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. POV title.  The above question by the anon is a good one.  Why don't we?  The List of schools in Connecticut article is still here, isn't it?  RickK 00:44, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, actually, List of schools in Connecticut isn't there. 68.23.97.209 02:58, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Good. Neither is List of schools in Albuquerque, and let's keep it that way. Radiant! 08:50, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inherently POV as Korath says. VfD isn't a forum to discuss splitting an article into different pages. And, to the anon who started all this, please note that I probably wouldn't have paid enough attention to vote for deleting the list if you hadn't spammed my user page. It backfired. 23skidoo 04:04, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to List of secondary schools in the United States. Delete the primary schools. Neutralitytalk 04:06, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this is inherently POV. While selection of articles based on their notability or lack therof is a POV decision of sorts reached by community consensus, actually asserting within an article that x is notable (implying that y is not notable) is a de-facto promotion of a viewpoint. I oppose a blanket merger & creation of a "list of notable schools" on the same grounds - if something is notable, it should have its own article, or be discussed in an article -- When a topic is already wikiworthy, it may then be included in list of notable ____ (IMO, of course) Eggplant WizardTalk See notes in my user page about login problem 06:09, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mikkalai 06:32, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is inherently subjective. Indrian 06:44, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I vote for breaking up the article into the aforementioned smaller sections named "List of schools in the United States (Alabama-Florida", etc. Then we can get rid of this monster. Rockingharder 06:54, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, move to List of schools in the United States, split into List of schools in Alabama et al.. And this isn't VfD-worthy, really. James F. (talk) 10:58, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep 68.72.134.124 22:10, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete If a school is notable, and you have information establishing this, put that information into an article about the school.   If you don't have information that establishes the notability of the school, you have no business listing it in this so-called "article".   Moreover, whether a school is notable is an opinion.  A list is not the place to express opinions, since the format is not consistent with presenting arguments and facts in support of the competing views.   Since lists are binary and cannot both include the school and not include it at the same time, one point of view inevitably wins and the others lose.    People with intermediate views cannot have their opinion represented at all.   Such a list therefore is inconsistent with NPOV by its very nature.   --BM 14:12, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep and move to List of schools in the United States. This VfD nomination is really a mess. People vote keep for something like List of schools in Singapore and yet this article gets a lot of delete votes. I fail to understand why. Splitting article in parts is not a VfD matter and the article being too big is no reason to delete it entirely. Grue 13:26, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep 68.72.139.143 04:14, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep 68.23.104.148 01:39, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Trade in services

Trade in Services refers to the sale and delivery of an intangible product, called a service, between a producer and consumer. Trade in services that takes place between a producer and consumer that are, in legal terms, based in different countries is called International Trade in Services.

Methods of Trade
International trade in services is defined by the Four Modes of Supply of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS).

 * (Mode 1) Cross-Border Trade – which is defined as delivery of a service from the territory of one country into the territory of other country, e.g. remotely providing accounting services in one country for a company based in another country, or an airline flying between two international destinations
 * (Mode 2) Consumption Abroad – this mode covers supply of a service of one country to the service consumer of any other country, e.g. tourism, telemedicine, or study abroad
 * (Mode 3) Commercial Presence – which covers services provided by a service supplier of one country in the territory of any other country, e.g. a bank opening a physical branch or internet service provider offering internet services in another country
 * (Mode 4) Presence of Natural Persons – which covers services provided by a service supplier of one country through the presence of natural persons in the territory of any other country, e.g. a business transferring an employee from one country to another for work duties (doctors or architects traveling and working abroad)

A "natural person" is a human being, as distinct from legal persons such as companies or organisations. Countries can freely decide where to liberalize on a sector-by-sector basis, including which specific mode of supply they want to cover for a given sector.

Mode 2 (Consumption Abroad) is by far the most liberalized mode in terms of commitments by WTO members. This is mostly due to governments being less likely to restrict the movements of citizens outside domestic borders (e.g. tourists). Mode 1 (Cross-Border Trade) is not often committed, mostly because it is impossible for many services to be supplied remotely (e.g. construction services), while Mode 3 (Commercial Presence) is more open, reflecting its crucial role in driving the international supply of services, transferring know-how and improving the capacity of economies to participate in global value chains. Mode 4 (Presence of Natural Persons) has the lowest depth of commitments, probably due to a number of sensitivities involved with the movement of foreign workers.

Value of Trade in Services
In 2014, global trade in services totaled some $3.8 trillion, with Mode 3 (commercial presence) accounting for 55% of the total, followed by Mode 1 (cross-border trade) at 30%, then Mode 2 ( consumption abroad) at 10%, and Mode 4 (presence of natural persons) the lowest share, at less than 5%.

In wealthy developed economies, services comprise a significant share of GDP and employment. For example, services account for 70% of economic output in the United States and 75% in the European Union.

Trade Agreements and Law
During the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the General Agreement on Trade in Services was drafted, and became enshrined as one of the four pillars of the international treaty comprising the World Trade Organization Agreement in 1995.

Regional trade in services agreements are also negotiated and signed between regional economic groupings such as CARICOM, North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), ASEAN and the Commonwealth of Independent States (Commonwealth of Independent States Agreement on Free Trade in Services, Establishment, Operations and Investment). All single markets and economic unions (European single market, European Economic Area, Gulf Cooperation Council, Central American Common Market, CARICOM Single Market and Economy, Eurasian Economic Space and Mercosur) with "four economic freedoms" also cover free trade in services.

Beginning in February 2012, 50 countries (28 of which are represented by the European Union) around the world began negotiating the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA). TISA negotiations primarily comprised high- and upper-middle income countries who were members of the WTO and hoped to further liberalize trade in financial services, healthcare, and transportation between themselves. The agreement has not progressed since early 2016 due to uncertainty surrounding negotiations in the aftermath of many elections that occurred that year.

Examples
Some of the most common examples of trade in service would be:

 * Business and professional services, including:

Special Operations Unit (Serbia)

Unit for Special Operations (Јединица за специјалне операције; abbr. ЈСО or JSO) or Special Operations Unit, also known as Red Berets (by berets; Црвене беретке) or Frankies (by Franko Simatović; Френкијевци), was an elite special forces police unit of Serbian State Security Directorate (RDB).

The JSO was created in 1996 by merging paramilitary units under the command of Željko Ražnatović "Arkan" and Franko Simatović and incorporating them into the security system of the Serbia under the auspice of Jovica Stanišić, head of the State Security Directorate. From 1996 to November 2001, it was formally under the competence of the RDB. The unit was finally disbanded in March 2003, after the Prime Minister of Serbia Zoran Đinđić was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy in which some members of the unit were involved.

Patrons and numerous members of the unit and its predecessors have been implicated and some sentenced, for war crimes during the Yugoslav Wars, as well as criminal activity. The unit's official commander Franko Simatović and its gray eminence Jovica Stanišić (head of RDB during the first half of Slobodan Milošević's rule) were acquitted at International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia for various war crimes. Various other members are convicted or being tried for the Ibar Highway assassination attempt and for the murders of Ivan Stambolić and Slavko Ćuruvija. The JSO was also reportedly involved in instances of war crimes in the Kosovo War.

History
The origins of the JSO can be traced back to April 1991, on the eve of Croatian War of Independence, when a paramilitary group led by Franko Simatović and Dragan Vasiljković set off from Belgrade to Knin, capital of the self-proclaimed Republic of Serb Krajina. Several days earlier, on March 16, Milošević promised "preparations of appropriate units capable of defending interests of Serbia and Serb people outside Serbia" in a closed session with Serbian municipal presidents. The order of creating such a unit was given to Jovica Stanišić, Milošević's strongman and head of RDB, which committed the task to Stanišić. The unit had not had any formal connections with Belgrade, so the operation was taken solely within RDB, without the involvement of Serbian Ministry of the Interior. In Knin, Simatović and Vasiljković contacted Milan Martić, minister of the interior of Republic of Serbian Krajina, who subordinated a group of fighters under Vasiljković's command, who gave them thorough training and imposed the discipline; the unit would later become known under the name Knindže (a portmanteau of "Knin" and "ninja"), and Vasiljković under the war name "Kapetan Dragan". The name "Red Berets" came after the battle for Glina, when Vasiljković distributed the berets to his men.

The other wing of the unit was apparently formed in May 1991, in Eastern Slavonia. According to the hints given by Simatović, the unit seems to have been involved in Borovo Selo killings on 1–2 May, when 12 Croatian policemen were killed and several tens wounded. May 4 will later be taken as the unit's anniversary. According to several witness accounts, Radovan Stojičić "Badža", an official of the Serbian ministry of interior, was in charge of operations in Eastern Slavonia. Upon the arrival in the Eastern Slavonia theater, Željko Ražnatović "Arkan" took over the paramilitary unit under the name of "Serbian Volunteer Guard", later known as "Arkan's Tigers". On 23 November 1991, after taking control over Laslovo from Croatian forces, the Guard captured two Croatian T-55 tanks and began operating them. The Guard later took part in various operations in Bosnia: in Bijeljina in 1992, near Bihać in 1994, and at the Sana river in 1995. The Bihać operation, code-named "Operation Spider" ("Operacija Pauk") was done in cooperation with the Army of Serb Krajina and the Army of Republika Srpska. The goal was to assist the fledgling Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia, a Serb-allied Muslim entity fighting against the central Bosnian government. During "Operation Spider", members of the Serbian Volunteer Guard fought under the ad hoc name 3rd Tactical Group. In September 1995, at Sana river, the unit assisted the Army of Republika Srpska in re-establishing the defense lines against the joint Croatian-Bosniak offensive codenamed "Operation Mistral 2"/"Operation Sana".

These two paramilitary units were allegedly the core of future JSO. The joint unit was officially formed in 1994, under the name of Unit for anti-terrorist action ("Jedinica za antiteroristička dejstva", JATD), one year before the wars in Bosnia and Croatia came to an end. The JATD first consisted of light mobile artillery and infantry. The unit operated as a part of the State Security Directorate (Resor Državne bezbednosti), which was then a part of Serbia's Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The members of the unit first came into the public spotlight during a 1995 hostage crisis when UN personnel were being held captive by the Army of Republika Srpska. The unit members provided protection for Jovica Stanišić, head of the Serbian State Security (RDB) who, acting as a mediator, arranged for the safe release of the hostages.

In 1996, one year after the Dayton Agreement and the end of conflicts in Croatia and Bosnia, JATD was re-structured and renamed to Jedinica za specijalne operacije, or JSO. A former Yugoslav People's Army barracks in Kula was chosen for its base camp. The JSO also obtained two Ukrainian Mi-24V combat helicopters on the black market, most likely through RDB intermediaries.

At the very beginning of the Kosovo War, the unit was ordered to set up a temporary base of operations on the Goč mountain, near Kosovo. From there, JSO launched a number of operations aimed against the Kosovo Liberation Army. One of their first actions was the March 1998 successful assault on the KLA commander Adem Jashari's hideout in Prekaz. The assault was planned and coordinated together with the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit of the police. In May-July 1998, the Mi-24V helicopters of the JSO took part in a joint effort to push KLA out of Kijevo, a strategic village on the Priština-Peć road. The Serbian interior ministry took control over Kijevo on 4 July. Later in 1999, JSO engaged in fierce battles in and around Peć. Due to NATO airstrikes, the unit's Mi-24 helicopters had to be grounded. The unit operated a wide variety of armored vehicles, including American-made Hummers procured via Cyprus, which all proved to be effective for quick operations under constant NATO aerial bombardment. After the Kumanovo Agreement and the subsequent end of the war, the JSO, alongside the police and armed forces, left Kosovo.

On 3 October 1999, a vehicle column of Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO), one of Serbia's largest opposition parties at the time, was attacked while moving down Ibar Highway. A tipper truck rammed into the moving vehicles. SPO officials Veselin Bošković, Zvonko Osmajlić, Vučko Rakočević, and Dragan Vušurović were killed in the staged accident and SPO president Drašković was injured. In a ruling by the Belgrade District Court on February 16, 2007, former State Security officer and unit's commander Milorad Ulemek, was sentenced to 15 years in prison and former State Security chief Radomir Marković received eight years. Members of the Special Operations Unit, JSO, Duško Maričić, Branko Berček, Nenad Bujošević, and Leonid Milivojević were sentenced to 14 years in prison.

On 25 August 2000, former president of Serbia and once a rival of Milošević's, Ivan Stambolić was detained by the police. Soon after, he was gone missing during his every-day jogging routine. His remains were uncovered on 28 March 2003, in Fruška Gora. After a yearlong trial in Serbia's special court in Belgrade, a judge found Radomir Marković and Milorad Ulemek, guilty of planning and carrying out the assassination of Ivan Stambolić.

The unit's role in the 2000 overthrow of Slobodan Milošević remained, to this day, somewhat controversial. On 4 October, opposition leader Zoran Đinđić met with Milorad Ulemek. Ulemek struck a bargain with Đinđić that he and his unit would stand down as long as the police were not attacked. The unit was most likely given the order to storm the protesters, who rallied in downtown Belgrade on 5 October. But soon after the unit's characteristic armored Hummers appeared in front of the protesters, the vehicles simply returned to base. Later, in his book titled "Peti oktobar" ("October 5"), former State Security chief Radomir Marković claimed he was the one who ordered the unit to be deployed in Belgrade.

The policy of the new government, especially regarding the indictment of the former Serbian war leaders by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, was met with explicit disagreement from the unit's commanding officers. In 2001, JSO engaged in a mutiny, blocking the Belgrade-Niš highway. The official reason for the mutiny, was an order given to the unit to arrest the Banović brothers, wanted by the ICTY. After several days of negotiations, the JSO's mutiny ended.

During this period, disillusioned Ulemek got involved in criminal activities of the so-called Zemun Clan, by providing both intelligence information and muscle for them. During 2001, the clan kidnapped several influential businessmen and demanded millions as ransom money. Among those men were Milija Babović and Miroslav Mišković, widely considered to be the most powerful business people in Serbia at the time. In both cases, Ulemek offered his help to the police, in his official capacity. He abused that position and provided insider information to the clan: for example, when he found out that Babović's family quickly and easily collected the ransom money, he advised the clan members to demand more. Eventually, all the hostages were released, however, some were severely beaten and tortured in the process.

Disbandment
The JSO was disbanded by decision of the Government of Serbia on 25 March 2003, 13 days after the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić. Its remaining members were sacked or transferred to other police units.

 * Milorad Ulemek was sentenced to 40 years in prison for assassinations of Ivan Stambolić and Zoran Đinđić each, and 15 years for Ibar Highway assassination.
 * Jovica Stanišić and Franko "Frenki" Simatović are being tried for crimes against humanity and war crimes in International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. They were cleared of all charges on 30 May 2013.
 * Dragan Vasiljković moved to Australia and changed his name, but was arrested on an Interpol warrant and extradited to Croatia.
 * Željko "Arkan" Ražnatović was assassinated on 15 January 2000 in Belgrade. His assassins, from Serbian criminal circles, were arrested and tried but the speculations on political background remained.
 * Radovan "Badža" Stojičić was assassinated on 11 April 1997, in Belgrade. His assassins are still at large.
 * Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dačić claimed that former members of the Red Berets took part in the Västberga helicopter robbery on 23 September 2009.

Trivia

 * Members of the unit have rose tattoo on their neck, which is noted by the press during the trial of Legija.

Unsourced material you added to Julia Mancuso
Please do not add unsourced controversial material to biographies of living persons, as you did on 19 March 2007 with the article Julia Mancuso. Please read the policy at Biographies of living persons, which states: Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just highly questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space.

I have done a quick Google search on "mancuso svindal", which immediately turned up a New Your Times article mentioning their possible involvement. I am adding this reference to the article, so the controversial material can stay. But you should have done this yourself, and provided a reference at the time you added the material.

Talk:United States Electoral College/Archive 3

The United States
In this article, The United States of America is always reffered to as The United States, and seeming as how there are more than one country in the world beginning with The United States (i.e. of Mexico), I feel that America should be added to all of these. Perhaps I am being overly nitpicky, but it is language like this that promotes American imperialism and superiority little by little. It is a very small example of imperialism through language, but just the assumption that The United States always reffers to America denotes some kind of superiority over other United States. I am new with Wikipedia, and I am not familiar with the strictness of language (this is an encyclopedia after all; I hope it is trying to eliminate the use racist/sexist/imperialist language) so I have not made these changes myself, but would like to see them made. thanks

Well I'm not an American, but, ipso facto when somebody speaks of the United States, he means the USA. There is no imperialism, just language custom. (sorry for my English, it's not my first language)

what you say might make sense in languages other than english, but the thing is... in english, the united states only refers to the united states of america. or to put it a different way, mexico is called, strikinly enough, mexico, and not the united states of mexico, although that might be its proper name. (see what i mean, i didn't need to write the united states of mexico for you to understand me, i only needed to write mexico...) Fufthmin

If an election is thrown into the House...
Hello,

"If no person wins a majority of electoral votes for President, the House of Representatives (the one elected at the same time as the vote for President, not the old one) then votes to decide who shall become the next President from among the top three candidates. In so voting, the representatives of each state cast a single block vote, and all state votes count equally, independent of the population of the states."

Question: How would that actually work? It's easy enough for Wyoming, but what about states with more than one rep? Do all reps from a certain state have to agree, or is it the majority of the reps from one state that would determine that state's vote? And would it have to be the absolute majority, or just the relative majority? What if there was a tie among the reps from one state? -- 84.57.2.21 22:05, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * I think it's based on the majority of the reps prevailing - in 2000 I recall commentators predicting that if there was no majority (if for instance Florida did not send electors in time) then it might go to the House where the Republicans controlled the majority of delegations. No idea on a tie, though that may explain the 36 ballots in 1800 (although doesn't it also need a weighted majority?).

 * I agree it's messy - it's clear that they were trying to reproduce the "equal votes for each state" & "votes based on population" combination for Congress, but had to put the House with the former option as the electors had taken the latter. Yet another support for the "this was never properly thought through" school of historians! Timrollpickering 22:40, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Minimum threshold to win?
In theory a candidate could win the election by receiving only 23% of all popular votes, if these were distributed in an ideal way (if the states were sorted by rising number of population he or she would have to gain the electoral votes in all states in the range from Wyoming to Virginia by 50%+1 of all votes including the exception of Maine and Nebraska were nearly all votes would be necessary).

I see the point being explained, but aren't all the states done on the basis of a plurality not a majority? So if there were four candidates in each state, each polling 25% of the vote, and the same candidate was ahead (perhaps by as little as 1 vote more than each of the others) in sufficient states, would that not drastically reduce the total votes needed to win? Timrollpickering 13:31, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This is a real good consideration, I didn't think of this possibility. The paragraph needs to be rephrased.

btw, this was the calculation I used US electorate Doppelzoo 17:00, 21 Sep 2004 (CET)

 * I think the 23 % number is wrong. I calculated what percentage of the population the 40 smallest states representing an e college majority was and got 45%.

 * With plurality wins, there is no minimum threshold. But the states you have to win can make up, at a minimum, 45% of the pop. dinopup

--

I had assumed you had an Electoral College to pick the President because things could change between the Electors setting out, and them arriving.

I could have said Absence of Penicillin .... which would be one of the conditions predisposing to change in that way.

But now there is a telephone in every town, perhaps that odd system can be tidied up.

UK -- I don't think we have the same thing. We elect a party and the party chooses its leader, the leader might change soon after an election, but only through death or incapacity, so we know who the PM is going to be per party.

 * It isn't too different from the US system. In the UK, the party chooses a leader and you elect a party.  In the US, the party chooses a leader and you select the leader - which implies a party.  It is still partisan voting. Kainaw 13:06, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * But in America, the legislature doesn't choose the executive, that fact is the essence of the British system. (note, in the Virginia Plan Madison wanted the House to choose the pres, so we almost became a parliamentary system)

 * Walter Bagehot compares the English system and the US electoral college in the English Constitution. He considers the English system to be the fulfillment of what the Foundign Fathers actually wanted - a deliberative body.  Along which much else in our system of government, Bagehot considered the electoral college to be absurd.dinopup

 * Or one could say that the American system, with its separate and co-equal branches, is the fulfillment of what the Founding Fathers wanted, namely a republicanized version of the English system before it collapsed into the monocratic rule of a Prime Minister and the Crown (executive) and Lords became mere advisory bodies. Pgva 20:04, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Electors - who are they ... really - how do they get the job
Can anyone explain who they are and how they get the job - maybe a real name example?

 * First, sign your comments/questions so it isn't so cold and anonymous. Second, there is no federal law about how to select electors.  So, the states do it however they like.  Most states have a state party convention select them.  A few have a state party committee select them.  I'm in South Carolina, so I can give you an example from here.  It is a mostly Republican state and will likely vote Republican.  Assuming it does, the state's Republican party will get 8 trusted Republicans to go to Washington DC and vote Republican.  By state law, if they decide to vote for someone like Nader or Homer Simpson, they will be prosecuted.  Because they are acting in a robotic way - just going through the motions they are required by law to go through - it doesn't matter if it is me or the guy who lives under the bridge by the interstate who votes.  So, they don't make a big deal out of advertising the names of each elector. Kainaw 13:02, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Guaranteed 2?
For district voting (e.g., Maine and Nebraska)... As previously noted, the winner in those two states is only guaranteed two electoral votes,

The winner must win at least one district in addition to the two corresponding to Senate seats. Hence, the wniner is guaranteed three electoral votes.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

 * I think you're right if there are only two candidates. With three, couldn't a candidate win a state 40:30:30 while losing every district (say, 20:30:0 and 20:0:30 in a two-district state)? Josh Cherry 01:55, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

i konw that poeple do feel this way but in y heart of hearts i know that it is not true thatb he said that. THere is enough information to abck my assertions up.

Wikipedia talk:Article Collaboration and Improvement Drive

Watchlist collaboration notice
There is a proposal at Village pump (proposals) to introduce some kind of an opt-out article collaboration notice to the watchlist to attract users. —Noisalt (talk) 06:57, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Relaunching ACID
I've just decided to relaunch WP:Article Collaboration and Improvement Drive, which has been moribund since January 2011 (actually much longer than that, but people were still adding entries). I've removed all the process-for-its-own-sake stuff, like votes and deadlines, that caused it to flop. It's an important idea - a centralized place to identify articles that: or It was just hamstrung by its own anal retentiveness.
 * 1) Are important but crap, and need severe overhauling
 * 1) Are stuck in B class and need focused editorial attention to get to Good status (or stuck at Good or A class and need help getting to Featured).

It's also a good place to announce inter-WikiProject collaborations.

It could just be redirected somewhere, if something newer has come along and I don't know about it. WP:COTW and WP:COTM redirect there now. (PS: I'm not watchlisting VP; if someone needs my input here, wants to berate me, whatever, please drop me a about it). — SMcCandlish  Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 09:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Featured quality source review RFC
Editors in this WikiProject may be interested in the featured quality source review RFC that has been ongoing. It would change the featured article candidate process (FAC) so that source reviews would need to occur prior to any other reviews for FAC. Your comments are appreciated. --IznoRepeat (talk) 21:34, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

InSinkErator

InSinkErator is an American company and brand name known for producing instant hot water dispensers and food waste disposal systems, generally called "garbage disposals" or "garbage disposers".

History
Architect John W. Hammes founded the company in Racine, Wisconsin, where it remains headquartered. Hammes is credited with inventing the "in-sink" food waste disposal in 1927 for his wife. It works by grinding and shredding solid food waste, using centrifugal force. He spent ten years improving the design and went into business selling the appliance. His company was called the In-Sink-Erator Manufacturing Company. The name is a play on the word "incinerator" and refers to the fact that the mouth of the disposal unit is located "in" the "sink".

The company was purchased by Emerson Electric in 1968. In 2006, In-Sink-Erator removed the hyphens from its name, becoming InSinkErator. It also redesigned the company logo and released a re-engineered line of high technology disposers branded as the Evolution Series.

On November 1, 2022, InSinkErator was acquired by Whirlpool Corporation.

Gonochorism

In biology, gonochorism is a sexual system where there are two sexes and each individual organism is either male or female. The term gonochorism is usually applied in animal species, the vast majority of which are gonochoric.

Gonochorism contrasts with simultaneous hermaphroditism but it may be hard to tell if a species is gonochoric or sequentially hermaphroditic e.g. parrotfish, Patella ferruginea. However, in gonochoric species individuals remain either male or female throughout their lives. Species that reproduce by thelytokous parthenogenesis and do not have males can still be classified as gonochoric.

Terminology
The term is derived from Greek (gone, generation) + (chorizein, to separate). The term gonochorism originally came from German Gonochorismus.

Gonochorism is also referred to as unisexualism or gonochory.

Evolution
Gonochorism has evolved independently multiple times. It is very evolutionarily stable in animals. Its stability and advantages have received little attention. Gonochorism owes its origin to the evolution of anisogamy, but it is unclear if the evolution of anisogamy first led to hermaphroditism or gonochorism.

Gonochorism is thought to be the ancestral state in polychaetes, hexacorallia,  nematodes,  and hermaphroditic fishes. Gonochorism is thought to be ancestral in hermaphroditic fishes because it is widespread in basal clades of fish and other vertebrate lineages.

Two papers from 2008 have suggested that transitions between hermaphroditism and gonochorism or vice versa have occurred in animals between 10 and 20 times. In a 2017 study involving 165 taxon groups, more evolutionary transitions from gonochorism to hermaphroditism were found than the reverse.

Animals
The term is most often used with animals, in which the species are usually gonochoric.

Gonochorism has been estimated to occur in 95% of animal species. It is very common in vertebrate species, 99% of which are gonochoric. 98% of fishes are gonochoric. Mammals (including humans ) and birds are solely gonochoric.

Tardigrades are almost always gonochoric. 75% of snails are gonochoric.

Most arthropods are gonochoric. For example a majority of crustaceans are gonochoric.

In animals, sex is most often genetically determined, but may be determined by other mechanisms. For example, alligators use temperature-dependent sex determination during egg incubation.

Plants
Plants which have single-sex individuals are typically called dioecious (vascular plants) or dioicous (bryophytes) instead of gonochoric. In flowering plants, individual flowers may be hermaphroditic (i.e. with both stamens and ovaries) or dioecious (unisexual), having either no stamens (i.e. no male parts) or no ovaries (i.e. no female parts). Among flowering plants with unisexual flowers, some also produce hermaphrodite flowers, and the three types may occur in different arrangements on the same or separate plants. Plant species can thus be hermaphrodite, monoecious, dioecious, trioecious, polygamomonoecious, polygamodioecious, andromonoecious, or gynomonoecious.

Examples of species with gonochoric or dioecious pollination include hollies and kiwifruit. In these plants the male plant that supplies the pollen is referred to as the pollenizer.

Other reproductive strategies
Gonochorism stands in contrast to other reproductive strategies such as asexual reproduction and hermaphroditism. Closely related taxa can have differing sexual strategies – for example, the genus Ophryotrocha contains species that are gonochoric and species that are hermaphrodites.

The sex of an individual may also change during its lifetime – this sequential hermaphroditism can, for example, be found in parrotfish and cockles.

River Duddon

The Duddon is a river of north-west England. It rises at a point 1289 ft above sea level near the Three Shire Stone at the highest point of Wrynose Pass. The river descends to the sea over a course of about 15 mi before entering the Irish Sea at the Duddon Sands. In total, from source to the westernmost part of Duddon Sands, its length is 43 km. For its entire length the Duddon forms the boundary between the historic counties of Lancashire and Cumberland and since local government re-organisation in 1974 the Duddon has been in the ceremonial county of Cumbria.

The catchment area of the River Duddon includes a substantial part of the south-western Lake District fells, including the eastern slopes of Corney Fell, Ulpha Fell and Harter Fell; the southern slopes of the mountains around the head of Langdale, and the western slopes of Dunnerdale and Seathwaite Fells.

From its source the Duddon falls rapidly over a distance of two miles (3.2 km) to Cockley Beck at the head of Dunnerdale. Close to the hamlet of Seathwaite the Tarn Beck from Seathwaite Tarn is subsumed. The river then takes a south-westerly direction to Ulpha Bridge. Passing under the Duddon Valley road, the river assumes a southerly course to Duddon Bridge where it is crossed by the A595 trunk road. After about a mile (1.6 km) the Duddon becomes tidal as it opens into the Duddon Estuary between Furness and south-west Cumberland.

Literary associations

 * The River Duddon and the Duddon Estuary have figured prominently in the work of the Cumbrian poet Norman Nicholson, who said of the river valley that “Without hesitation this is my favourite place of all. There is such variety, such texture”.
 * Arthur Ransome figured the valley under the name ‘Dundale’ in his Lake novels.
 * The poet William Wordsworth wrote extensively of the Duddon, a river he knew and loved from his early years. He wrote his lyric sequence "The River Duddon, A Series of Sonnets" between 1804 and 1820. This sequence first appeared in The River Duddon, A Series of Sonnets: Vaudracour and Julia: And Other Poems. To which is annexed a Topographical Description of the Country of the Lakes in the North of England in April 1820, and later in Wordsworth's Miscellaneous Poems in July 1820. (Although it was first published as a series of 33 sonnets, the Duddon series was expanded to 34 sonnets in the Poetical Works of 1827.)

Subsequent sonnets followed the river downstream, past Birks Bridge (Sonnet XI), to Ulpha (Sonnet XXII), before reaching “the Deep...over smooth flat sands” with Sonnet XXXII.

Recreation
The River Duddon is a salmon fishery. The section of the river downstream from Seathwaite is popular with canoeists and is graded as 3 with some easy 4. From Birks Bridge, through Troutal Gorge to Seathwaite there are some difficult canoeing sections graded at 5 requiring higher water levels to navigate.

Many parts of the Duddon Valley are visited by tourists, but the location is outside the main tourist area of the Lake District. Consequently, most of the visitors are day trippers who live locally, or who travel from elsewhere in northern England: Hunter Davies considered its unfrequented nature one of its great attractions.

Reply: Discussion about Mobile Suit Pages
Hmmm... Hope I'm doing this whole user talky thing right...

Anyway, I noticed the changes made to those mobile suit sections a few days ago. At first I felt like reverting them all back because I personally made several of them, especially many of the Mobile Suit Variations, but as I think about it more I don't think the idea to have all of the mobile suits in a specific series on a single page is too bad. That said, the new compounded articles definitely are in dire need a good spit shine, as they are all basically just cut and pasted into one uber-article, with very poor editing done. Decent plan, flawed execution.

I'd advise against just reverting everything willy nilly. We could work on bettering the current pages, which would drastically improve them. I'll think on this matter some more, but for now I am not making any drastic changes to any of the pages.

Thanks for uploading Image:RX-78-G-.GIF. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
