New York City bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics

The New York City 2012 Olympic bid was one of the five short-listed bids for the 2012 Summer Olympics, ultimately won by London.

New York City's Olympic bid was managed by a private non-profit organization, NYC 2012, founded by Daniel L. Doctoroff, then the managing director of Oak Hill Capital Partners, a private equity firm. Doctoroff thought of bringing the Olympic Games to New York after witnessing New York's international sports fans at a 1994 FIFA World Cup match in Giants Stadium. He then built a team to help craft a plan for staging the Games. Seven years later, Doctoroff resigned as President of NYC2012 to join the administration of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but he continued to lead New York's Olympic Bid as Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Rebuilding.

Two of the biggest projects proposed as part of the bid were the revival of the East River waterfront, including the construction of an Olympic Village across the river from the United Nations Headquarters and an aquatics center in Brooklyn, and the construction of West Side Stadium, which was supposed to have led to the comprehensive redevelopment of the Far West Side of Manhattan. Other projects that were part of the bid included a rowing course in Queens, a velodrome in the South Bronx, a marina along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, an equestrian center on Staten Island, and the refurbishment of the historic 369th Regiment Armory in Harlem.

Venues
Olympic venues would have been spread around the city, had it been selected for the Olympics.

Olympic Village
The Village would have been located on the East River Waterfront of Queens across from the United Nations Headquarters. During the Olympics and Paralympics, it would have housed more than 16,000 athletes and coaches. Costing an estimate of $1.5 billion, the Village would include plazas and shops, restaurants, acres of green landscape, training centers and fields, a private dining hall, religious centers, and ferry and train service. Post-Olympic plans would provide world-class residential housing for up to 18,000 New York residents. The area would have designed by Morphosis Architects as the heart and crossroad of New York's Olympic X Plan.

West Side Stadium
An Olympic Stadium on the West Side of Manhattan had been part of NYC2012's plan since 2000, when the organization's blueprint for the Games was formally unveiled to the public. Host to Opening and Closing Ceremonies and Athletics competitions, the West Side Stadium would have sat adjacent to the Jacob Javits Convention Center, host to six Olympic sports, Olympic Square Park, and a new 40+ story office tower that would have housed Olympic broadcasters in 2012.

The Stadium's construction was scheduled to proceed regardless of whether New York was awarded the 2012 Olympic Games. The project was to be paid for by the New York Jets ($800 million), New York City ($300 million for infrastructure), and New York State ($300 million for the retractable roof). According to the project's promoters, the building's retractable roof, unnecessary for football, would make the stadium a flexible, multi-purpose facility. It would provide a long-term boost to New York's economy and would jump-start the development of Manhattan's Far West Side.

Local civic groups concerned with congestion and a changing neighborhood had long opposed its construction, and it historically had low citywide approval ratings. The project managed to stay largely out of the media and public spotlight until early 2004 when Cablevision released its first round of advertising against the Stadium. As the owner of Madison Square Garden, which is located just a few blocks from the site of the proposed Olympic Stadium, Cablevision saw the new facility as a potential threat to the Garden's share of concert, convention, and other major event business.

Political opponents of New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, notably the contenders for the Democratic mayoral nomination, used the Stadium issue as a symbol that he was a billionaire who was out of touch with the needs of average New Yorkers. Cablevision spent over $30 million on negative advertising and political lobbying and even generated a competing proposal for development of the Stadium site. However, the Stadium was strongly supported by Bloomberg, who insisted that there was no alternate site for the Olympic Stadium and the project needed to be approved before the International Olympic Committee selected the Host City on July 6, 2005. Finally, on June 6, 2005, the Public Authorities Control Board rejected New York State's $300 million contribution for the project, eliminating the possibility that an Olympic Stadium on that site would be fully approved before the IOC's vote.

The City, working with NYC2012, quickly developed a backup plan, which called for a new ballpark for the New York Mets in Queens in the parking lot of Shea Stadium – later named Citi Field – to be completed for the 2009 baseball season; it was announced on June 12, 2005. The plan would've been to use the stadium for the 2012 Olympics while the Mets would play at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx for that year's baseball season.

Post-bid development
Despite the bid's failure the greatest legacy of the NYC2012 bid has been large-scale development of areas of New York City that underwent rezoning in order to move forward with the NYC2012 bid. Manhattan's Hudson Yards and Brooklyn's waterfront in Williamsburg and Greenpoint both underwent rezoning revisions which were in part due to the region's planned roles as Olympic venues, including the controversial West Side Stadium. (The 7 Subway Extension, which was originally planned for the 2012 Olympic bid, was revised to serve the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project.) The development of the once industrial Queens West neighborhood on the East River may also have origins in the bid, as it was initially slated for development as the planned site of the Olympic Village. Following the Games, the site was to be bought by private developers and converted into condominiums.

Potential future bid
Upon the USOC reaching a new revenue sharing agreement with the IOC in May 2012, New York had been mentioned as a potential candidate for the 2024 Summer Olympics, but then-Mayor Bill de Blasio decided not to pursue a bid in May 2014. Los Angeles became the US candidate following the withdrawal of Boston's bid. Los Angeles later secured the right to host the 2028 Summer Olympics while Paris (which competed with New York in the 2012 race) secured the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Citi Field & NYC FC Stadium
After the Olympic bid failed, the construction of Citi Field in Queens, now designated as the new home of the New York Mets, went on as scheduled; the Mets played their first game in the stadium in April 2009.

Adjacent to Citi Field, a new 25,000 seat soccer-specific stadium for New York City FC of Major League Soccer will be built in Willets Point and the surrounding area will be redeveloped. The new stadium will open in 2027.

Flushing Meadows Natatorium
Despite the bid's failure, construction of an aquatics center at Flushing Meadow Park went ahead. The Flushing Meadows Natatorium opened in 2008.

MetLife Stadium
After the West Side Stadium proposal was rejected, the NFL's New York Jets entered into a 50/50 partnership with the New York Giants to build a new stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey to replace Giants Stadium. The New Meadowlands Stadium (now MetLife Stadium) opened in 2010 and hosted Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014. It will host eight matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup including the final.

Barclays Center
The opening of the Barclays Center (which was the proposed venue for gymnastics) ushered in the return of professional sports franchises to Brooklyn for the first time since the Brooklyn Dodgers left in 1957. The Barclays Center is the home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets and the WNBA's New York Liberty and used to be a part-time home of the NHL's New York Islanders.

Hudson Yards

Despite the failure to approve the West Side Stadium, the site of the West Side Rail Yards still saw development. The Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project saw the construction of multiple buildings and mixed-use developments which has led to the creation of a new neighborhood. The new buildings feature office space and residential space. A shopping mall has also been opened.

Renovations were made to the Javits Center (which would have hosted multiple Olympic events) and the 7 Train was extended to its current terminal at 34th Street. The High Line originates at the Hudson Yards and is an elevated urban park built on former train tracks.

Wynn Resorts has proposed to build an 80 story resort and casino with 1,750 rooms at the Hudson Yards. It would be built on the site of where the West Side Stadium would have been built. It would be one of the largest hotels in New York City if built.

Why does our documentation flout the rules?
I'm puzzled that the documentation contains a warning which is viewed as serious enough that it deserves all bold:

Then goes on to give a usage example which is a formula not an abbreviation, and that example uses rather than.

I recognize that this classic formula includes some abbreviations, but I don't think combining abbreviations into a formula makes it an abbreviation. I'm not fully grasping why creates an accessibility problem while  does not, but unless I'm missing something, if we strongly urge editors to use tooltips for things other than abbreviations shouldn't we use tooltip in the documentation? Am I missing something?-- S Philbrick (Talk)  21:45, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what's going on here, but I've highlighted quoted text to make it clear what you are talking about. Feel free to wrap the said warning into a notice template to make it more readable. On the other side, I think it's legit to avoid using tooltips. It certainly would cause readability issues on different devices.  AXO NOV  (talk) ⚑ 18:55, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , I get that pop-ups might create problems related to accessibility (and I don't know this for certain, it just sounds plausible), but I'm struggling to understand why a popup created by tooltips is problematic but a pop up created by abbr is not a problem. (thanks for the highlighting to clarify what I am talking about.) S Philbrick  (Talk)  20:05, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree that it sounds plausable. Probably underlaying html tags and scripts cause issues with accessibility on devices not fully supporting html/js/css but I'm confused too here tbh. Cheers. AXO NOV  (talk) ⚑ 20:11, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Dotted not working in new vector
The css class explain used by this template is not supported in new vector and hence tooltips are never dotted in that skin. This can be solved by moving the doting to template styles as I've done at Template:Tooltip/sandbox. I would like to have someone more experienced have a look at it before implementing though.

Update this template to the current sandbox version. The added line  will cause the tooltip text to be read aloud as "Tooltip {parameter as written}". A version of this was tried before, but it caused an unspecified error when used outside of the testcases page. This version is slightly less complex and a minor error has been since corrected in the live template. When testing this template on Firefox, Chrome, Edge, IE, NVDA, and Windows 10, I don't notice any issues in or out of the sandbox.

Revert previous update. In most situations this works fine, but sometimes when used within a link it will either display the Template:sronly text inline, suppress the link, or suppress the tooltip. This may the same issues that noted as it works fine in the sandbox and in many mainspace contexts. Rjjiii (talk) 17:46, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

 * More context for future editors. This is a bug in sronly unrelated to tooltips. When placed within a link, it can cause issues. The most common is that the intended hidden text is printed inline. I'm not sure what causes the stylesheet conflict, but it shouldn't be used in links or templates that are linked until fixed. Rjjiii (talk) 17:56, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Dotted line working in preview mode, but not in saved article mode
It's really weird:. I have tried purging the page and using a different browser but the problem remains. Any ideas? Betty Logan (talk) 11:45, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Template:efn will work better in that situation. Using a tooltip will make the content unavailable to most readers including everyone on mobile, and not accessible for users using a screen reader or keyboard navigation. Regards, Rjjiii (talk) 16:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Better yet, rewrite the sentence to avoid using film jargon. Something like: "Since Fox, to save costs, had long ago destroyed the negatives of the outtakes and portions of scenes that were cut during editing of the film, traditional outtakes could not be included." – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:59, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

 * I appreciate the suggestions, but a problem bypassed is not a problem solved. There would still appear to be a glitch in the template. Betty Logan (talk) 08:20, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It appears to be because the first use of the template in the article (in the infobox) is inside a link, where TemplateStyles doesn't work. In any case this template should never be used in the main namespace (MOS:NOTOOLTIPS). (The infobox use is a double whammy as it also violates MOS:SMALLTEXT.) Nardog (talk) 08:53, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've removed the first hover box and now we've now got a dotted line. I will sort out the second one with a footnote when I get a chance. Very strange that the first instance was disrupting the second instance, but at least you have satisfied my curiosity. Betty Logan (talk) 09:24, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

TemplateData
This template shares TemplateData with abbr via the documentation. I think only the first bit (This template defines an abbreviation or acronym, by creating a tooltip that is displayed on mouse-over.) needs to be changed. Should this be made more general so that the TemplateData applies to both abbr and tooltip, or should tooltip use its own TemplateData with a separate explanation? Rjjiii (talk) 06:39, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The description "Meaning" for 2 also does not seem valid for Tooltip. I think this template should have its own TemplateData, which can probably be transcluded using an #if statement that checks the page name. – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:18, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, good catch. I've added separate descriptions for tooltip's TemplateData. I also made the descriptions shorter, so they would not be cut off in the VisualEditor's template search box, Rjjiii  (talk) 16:47, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Nass El Ghiwane

Nass El Ghiwane (ناس الغيوان) are a musical group established in 1970 in Casablanca, Morocco. The group, which originated in avant-garde political theater, has played an influential role in Moroccan chaabi (or shaabi).

Nass El Ghiwane were the first band to introduce Western instruments like the modern banjo. Their music incorporates a trance aesthetic, reflecting the influence of local gnawa music, and is inspired by ancient North African Sufi poetry, most prominently that of Abderrahman El Majdoub, whose work was a direct inspiration to the band. They are also credited with helping bring a new social movement to Morocco. The group was called “The Rolling Stones of Africa” by Martin Scorsese and was one of few Moroccan bands to receive international media attention.

Name
In an interview with Al Bayan, explained that, in Morocco, the term Nass El Ghiwane (ناس الغيوان "people of song") refers to practitioners of the malhun musical tradition.

In film
The band is the focus of music documentary Trances, directed by Ahmed El Maanouni, who described Nass El Ghiwane as Morocco's soul music. Originally released in 1981, it was restored in 2007 by the World Cinema Foundation at Cineteca di Bologna /L’Immagine Ritrovata Laboratory. The film was picked specifically by Martin Scorsese for the World Cinema Foundation's first release and was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007 and at Djemaa el-Fna square in Marrakesh, Morocco. The film has since been distributed by the Criterion Collection.

The band's song "Ya Sah" appears in the film The Last Temptation of Christ and on the associated album Passion – Sources. The film's director, Martin Scorsese, credits Nass El Ghiwane with opening a new universe to him.

 * Keep. Ditto. What Rhobite said, basically. Except I wouldn't call Stalinist a slur, either. Both terms are NPOV.
 * Delete. I've opposed categories that classify articles by sexual orientation from the beginning.  Make list articles if you want that can be annotated, but categories should be kept only to the most objective, unequivocal facts, and what someone's sexuality is hardly counts as unequivocal.

 * Keep, as long as only verified actual LGBTs are included, not suspected LGBTs. If I say "your dad is gay", that is a slur. If I say "Elton John is gay", that is a neutral statement of fact. Deco 01:12, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree with Oliver on this.  --Kbdank71 13:07, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, though I wouldn't oppose a category for LGBT activists (as in they're in the news, etc.) but not people who are LGBT. Cburnett 16:06, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, I believe it has a purpose, so long as the notable individual identifies as such. --Bastique 04:53, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm changing my vote Keep, I thought about this further, and realize that for the most part, as there exists a GLBT subculture in the world, anyone that publically identifies as such is a member of that subculture. While the terms 'gay' and 'lesbian' are not subjective, it is certainly a self-identifiable.  Anyone with the orientation but without that self-identification less is simply a homosexual.
 * Note: I urge the admins to give careful consideration to the results of this vote, and not perform a "delete" maneuver unless a significant amount of people reign in on it. The likelihood of personal bias is too great with topics involving GLBT, and such a small sampling of votes has an easy tendency of being unjust and overly biased.  (See above, I've opposed... and disseminated...in spirit of activism)  I believe the this category is as valid as one for notable African-Americans or notable Mormans, for that matter.

 * Actually, yes. I've never heard of a homophile.  Certainly, the GLBT community has support from the outside of it, but you won't convince me that it's due to a bias toward them.  And the rest...one cannot be an Anglophile if one is English.  It's not so much a bias if it involves one's own culture.  --Bastique 05:42, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * By the way, the bias article mentions the term Amerocentric as it relates to Americans. This is not so much a view of America itself as much a view of America's relation to the rest of the world. It does not negate my prior statement.  --Bastique 05:51, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

LGBT subcategories
Just to clarify whether the votes above are for keeping the main category, or that and its subcats, I'm going to separate them out:
 * Category:LGBT actors
 * Category:LGBT artists
 * Category:LGBT athletes
 * Category:LGBT musicians
 * Category:LGBT politicians
 * Category:LGBT writers
 * Category:LGBT Ancient Greeks

 * Delete all as unnecessary subcategorization, per our earlier decisions on Jewish and Italian-American subcategories by occupation. "LGBT Ancient Greeks" is especially silly, because it applies a modern cultural conception of sexuality to an ancient context in which it arguably makes no sense at all.

Brewster Academy

Brewster Academy is a co-educational independent boarding school located on 80 acre in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, United States. It occupies 0.5 mile of shoreline along Lake Winnipesaukee. With around 350 students, it serves grades nine through twelve and post-graduates. The 2023 full boarding tuition is $72,700. The current Head of School is Kristy Kerin.

History
The school was founded in 1820 by local citizens as a "building for higher education". Originally called the "Wolfeboro & Tuftonboro Academy", in 1887 it was renamed "Brewster Free Academy" in honor of benefactor John Brewster. For sixty years it charged no tuition fee to local residents, and, from its inception until 1964, the school served as the only high school in Wolfeboro, as well as serving day students from neighboring towns. In 1946, the academy begin to charge a small tuition, and Wolfeboro at its town meeting in March 1947 voted to pay local students' tuition fees. During the immediate postwar years, it was a popular school with military veterans seeking to improve their credentials for a university education under the G.I. Bill. In 1963 the graduating class consisted of 60 local students, with 30 additional post-graduate students who boarded on campus. Many were there to increase their athletic prowess, and some, including Milt Morin who played in the NFL, had successful college and pro sports careers. The local students were then moved to Kingswood Regional High School in town and Brewster became a private boarding school.

In 1985, Digital Equipment Corporation co-founder Ken Olsen donated a number of Digital personal computers to Brewster. The computers were part of a new lab dedicated to Grace Murray Hopper, whose family had a summer house in Wolfeboro. The lab is called the Grace Murray Hopper Center for Computer Learning.

Brewster has hosted the Great Waters Music Festival since 1995. This summer festival promotes live musical performances including choral, symphonic, folk, pops, jazz, Broadway, dance, and renowned vocal and instrumental artists. Celebrity performers have included Wynton Marsalis, Dave Brubeck, Arlo Guthrie, Chuck Mangione, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

In 2020, Brewster's prep basketball team won their 7th National Prep Basketball Championship (2010; 2012; 2014; 2015; 2017; 2019; 2020). Twenty-one alumni have played in the NBA, including 10 who have been selected in the NBA draft since 2010.

On July 1, 2021, Kristy Kerin became the 13th Head of School in Brewster's over 200-year history. Notably, she is the first female to hold the position.

Athletics
Brewster Academy provides various afternoon sport programs, such as soccer, basketball, lacrosse, field hockey, ice hockey, or tennis, with members of faculty coaching them. Brewster has a diverse selection of interscholastic sports along with recreational, intramural and instructional sports during the fall, winter and spring seasons. Among the interscholastic sports, Brewster fields varsity, junior varsity and co-ed teams, as well as eight- and four-person shells on the crew teams. Games are typically played on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with a half day of classes on Wednesdays to accommodate games schedules. During games and during regular practices, an athletic trainer is available to help students. The teams are coached by members of faculty at all levels.

Brewster competes in the following interscholastic sports: alpine skiing, baseball, basketball, cross country running, cross-country skiing, field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse, crew, softball, sailing, snowboarding, soccer, and tennis. Intramural, recreational and instructional offerings include advanced strength training, dance, equestrianism, golf, outdoor skills, snow sports, tennis, ultimate Frisbee, x-fitness, and yoga.

Athletic facilities include a 50000 sqft athletics and wellness center featuring a convertible turf floor, a four-lane 200-meter indoor track, and a fitness center; six playing fields; nine tennis courts; a boathouse for dry land training for the sailing and crew teams; an indoor rowing tank; and a climbing wall.

Arts
In the performing arts, Brewster has an award-winning chorus, HOWL, which has performed at Carnegie Hall and a drama group that produces musicals, operas and plays throughout the year. There is a chamber orchestra, a chorale, a wind ensemble and a jazz band, and dance instruction is available. An art center is home to ceramics, printmaking, drawing and painting classes. Multimedia and desktop publishing centers feature the latest computers, industry standard software, and video and digital equipment. The newly renovated Anderson Hall, designed by Scott Simons Architects, features a proscenium theater, new lobby and green room. Scott Simons Architects received the AIA NH Honor Award for the design in 2015.

Talk:Git

Further expanding the article
Here's a list of some things that we can use to further expand the article:

 * example screenshot of some git log output of the Linux kernel, showing an example of git commit hash and commit messages
 * example screenshot of git diff output to show how Git is tracking changes
 * example visual screenshot/diagram of a Git tree that visually shows git branches as lines and commits as dots, how branches are created when the line splits, and how branches are merged when the lines converge
 * PGP/GnuPG signing commits and tags, and purpose of signing
 * history of commit "sign-off" feature and relevance to SCO lawsuit
 * Developer Certificate of Origin and "Signed-off by:" used for Linux kernel
 * workflow that patches sent through email, and how that compares to the use of Git hosting services
 * why Git ignores are used, and commonly used .gitignore file
 * emphasis on push, fetch, pull, merge, etc. commands with patches and pull requests
 * how "master" branch has references to slavery
 * a sentence explaining use of "master" commonly used to explain concepts in computing (e.g. master and slave devices)
 * relevance of "master" branch to racism awareness and Black Lives Matter movement in countries such as the US and examples of some notable projects that have renamed "master" branch to "main" branch

These last three are ememplars of the ignorance that pervades among people with regard to this hypersensitivty to and policing of language.

"Master" here does not reference slavery. It has the same semantics as having a master (that is primary) recording, the one from which all others are copies. This has nothing to do with racism except to a bunch of virtue signaling ignoramuses so intent of "cleansing" our language of content they find, again out of deep ignorance, objectionable, and without any knowledge of the actual meaning or etymology of the words. I personally change "main" back to "master" in my new repositories exactly because the former does _not_ have the same semantics as the latter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.74.108.114 (talk) 18:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Dear 50.74.108.114: Over-sensitive much? Passive aggressive much? You come off as icky jerk. Besides, "main" is shorter. Live an let live. The world needs more compassion; less of what you're yelling. Stevebroshar (talk) 00:13, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * What you're ranting on about is something largely irrelevant to Git itself. Although it's a widespread change in the free software community, GitHub, then after it GitLab, are the services who mainly adopted the practice (after a suggestion from the Software Freedom Conservancy amid the 2020 unrest), while Git's default, if not otherwise specified, remains .

Changing opening header to be more inclusive eliminating the demographic statement from summary
While git is "usually used for coordinating work among programmers collaboratively developing source code during software development" it is gaining momentum in other industries. Perhaps this proposition could be eliminated in the header and included elsewhere because in essence it reads that git is for programmers. I don't know if I am the only one who would favour more inclusive language in the header so more people might be inclined to use git or not feel excluded by that statement. If we describe other software pages such as the [Word] page we do not see a statement of demographics regarding to the use of the software.

Jtm-lis (talk) 19:50, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Maybe change to "generally used for coordinating collaborative work among parties whose work is mostly textual in nature, like source code development"?
 * I add "mostly textual in nature" because Git doesn't really work really well with graphics. Why do I say that? Because there is this video game mod I play, follow and contributed to that was shared through GitHub and it took quite a while to download everything and I believe it is because Git doesn't delta compress images and the like.
 * Digitalsurfer-0 (talk) 01:56, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Talking about limitations WRT binary files would be a good addition. I don't like changing the second phrase/sentence to "generally used for coordinating collaborative work among parties whose work is mostly textual in nature, like source code development" since although not wrong is awkward. Parties is awkward. Talking about the binary file thing so early on is awkward. It's a thing, but not important enough for the first paragraph. Stevebroshar (talk) 00:27, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

GUI clients
There should be a section about it. It's popular, and even mentioned on the official website of Git. Galzigler (talk) 16:40, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

 * I agree.
 * I thought there was a "comparison of" article comparing git clients (mostly GUI git clients), but perhaps I am mis-remembering Comparison of version-control software (which does have a brief list of GUI clients for git in the "user interfaces" section).
 * I recommend generalizing to "git clients", so we can mention both text-oriented clients (TUI clients) -- such as Magit and Tig -- which are apparently notable enough for Wikipedia -- as well as graphical clients (GUI clients). --DavidCary (talk) 21:41, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Bold 166.181.250.213 (talk) 05:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Graphical interfaces
@Emunah00 The new section on graphical interfaces is a bit of a dumpster fire. It was added along with a giant notice that it needs work. Why add something like that? Add it when you have complete work.

Also, interfaces is not a great term. I think graphical client is what the author is getting at. Interestingly, above is a talk topic on 'GUI clients'. Maybe that's what Emunah00 is addressing.

Thing is, why limit to graphical/gui clients? The CLI client is important too. How about naming the section Client.

FWIW and IMO, the section Git server should be Server. Stevebroshar (talk) 16:12, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

 * @Stevebroshar I agree with all your points, except for I don't consider that section a dumpster fire; a stub section is much better than a non-written section; if I didn't bring this up, it could take longer to someone write a section for both CLI, TUI and GUI clients.
 * TLDR: IMO, not perfect is better than non-existent Emunah00 (talk) 06:05, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Disagree. I don't think a WP article should be a workspace; a place for incomplete work. I think every version of an article should be a complete work. ... There is no such thing as perfect. But, what you added was incomplete as indicated by the inclusion of the needs-work notice. IMO, it's better to add/change boldly and without qualification -- in the article. If you feel more is needed, then add that to talk. ... IMO, the audience of an article is a reader. If you want to address writers, use talk. ... WRT TLDR, what's the part that I didn't read? Is the first part the DR part? If so, put the TLDR first so that I can skip the long part :) ... and it's only a small fire :) Stevebroshar (talk) 15:42, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Cariboo (federal electoral district)

Cariboo was a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1871 to 1892.

This riding was first created as Cariboo District following British Columbia's admission into the Canadian Confederation in 1871. The name was changed to "Cariboo" in 1872, and existed in this form until it was abolished in 1892 when it was amalgamated into the new riding of Yale—Cariboo. In 1914, Yale—Cariboo was redistributed and Yale and Cariboo were separate ridings once again, though with smaller areas than before. The Cariboo riding lasted until 1966. The succession of ridings for the Cariboo area since then has been:

 * Kamloops—Cariboo (1966—1976)
 * Cariboo—Chilcotin (1976—2003)
 * Cariboo—Prince George (2003 - )
 * Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo (2004 - )

The Chilcotin region of the riding, west of the Fraser River, was from 1966 to 1976 part of the Coast Chilcotin riding.

The original form of the riding was the whole of the Cariboo Plateau and both Cariboo and Lillooet Land Districts. Its southern boundary was on the northern edge of the New Westminster riding, and later the Burrard riding, then the North Vancouver riding, with near-coastal localities such as Pemberton, Squamish, Britannia Beach and Port Douglas all politically part of "Cariboo".

Under the Representation Act of 1892, the constituencies of Yale and Cariboo were united to form Yale—Cariboo. In 1914 that riding was broken up and the Yale and Cariboo riding-names were restored, although the new constituencies were considerably smaller than before. The restored Yale riding included the Boundary Country around Grand Forks and Greenwood, but the Kootenay was now a separate riding and the town of Yale itself was not in the restored Yale riding, but in the new riding of Westminster District. The first election using the new boundaries was in 1917. "Government" and "Opposition" were used during the wartime campaign to designate the governing Conservatives vs the Opposition Liberals.

A major redistribution in 1947 took away the southern half of the Cariboo district, with a southern boundary at 52 degrees 30 minutes north, just excluding Williams Lake and the south bank of Quesnel Lake. The rest of the riding extended to the Little Rancheria River and the border with Yukonand the Northwest Territories, therefore including the Omineca, Prince George and Peace River districts.

The Cariboo electoral district was abolished in 1966. Successor ridings were:

 * Coast Chilcotin (1966 - 1976)
 * Kamloops—Cariboo (1966 - 1976)
 * Prince George—Peace River (1966 - 1976)
 * Skeena (1914 - 2003)

Talk:T. D. Jakes

Criticisms
There's still a lot of problems with the criticisms sources. It's stated Jakes denies the Trinity but the source says "...teaching compromises the Trinity" (http://www.equip.org/articles/loving-the-trinity). That's a bit different and the source really isn't even centered around Jakes.

Another is "Jakes believes in Word of Faith doctrine meaning anyone "can exercise the power of words to get whatever we want from God."" The problem with this is it looks like Jakes says, "anyone can exercise the power of words to get whatever we want from God." That's not really where the critical article is going, but we're in a theological argument.

Both of these are theological arguments that I question are even notable. Basileias (talk) 00:09, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Pentecostal Oneism is an interesting claim that I've consistently heard regarding TD Jakes but I can find no evidence for it. If you can find a notable source claiming it, you can include it. If you find articles that also defend that position, or even TD Jakes rejecting it, it should also be included. Transparency is the best policy :) 110.33.120.196 (talk) 11:08, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Bishop
Would it be useful to address that he's a self-styled bishop? There's no such thing as a non-denominational bishop, for an unaffiliated church. Who made him a bishop? ChocolateBlender (talk)ChocolateBlender —Preceding undated comment added 13:47, 9 May 2012 (UTC).
 * The same statement could be made about pastors of non-denominational. Who made them pastor? Themself?! Unfortunately therefore, your criticism cannot stand for what is publicly accepted in terms of what constitutes a church minister. Your criticism seems to be more of non-denominational churches, rather than that of his title. You couldn't say self-styled bishop - but probably bishop as styled by his congregation. Or as I understand, with "The Potter's House", his church family, it is a church network, so you'd have to say it was stylized by that church network, so your argument appears to be breaking down. 110.33.120.196 (talk) 11:11, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

So pretty much self-styled by acclaim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:346:1180:4320:DD92:C810:3E1E:191C (talk) 22:57, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Actually, just being non-denominational doesn't make you on your own. There are associations of non-denominational churches. For example, the Association of Related Churches has 400 non-denominational churches as members. Niteshift36 (talk) 18:42, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
 * talk] is correct. Calling him a bishop without explanation misleads the reader, or at best confuses them. The standard definition of a bishop is an ecclesiastic leader of an church with an extended hierarchy (typically Roman Catholic, Orthodox or Anglican). "Bishop" should be mentioned, but it should be clear that it is self-styled and he is not part of a large organisation. [[User:Ashmoo|Ashmoo (talk) 13:40, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree: bishop : "A bishop is an ordained clergy member who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution." --- Avatar317 (talk) 02:37, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Bert Williams

Death
The article says "Williams collapsed on stage on February 25, 1922 whilst singing "Under The Bamboo Tree". Is there any citation for that? I know he did that song, but I also know that at the time he died he was appearing in a play of that name, and I suspect there may be some confusion here. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:10, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

Legacy
lllllhis, please mention that Johnny Cash covered Williams' song "Nobody", because that's probably the best-known recent recording of one of his songs. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:13, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

Born 1874 or 1875?
He's listed under 1874 in music but his birth year is given here as 1875 (and google searches, anyway, give a high number of hits for both years, but that says next to nothing.) Does anyone have a good source for either year? Thanks! Schissel : bowl listen July 3, 2005 18:11 (UTC)

 * Someone has now changed this, but still without citing a reference. - Jmabel | Talk 04:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Early bio
According to the Caryl Phillips interview on the Diane Rehm show, his family lived briefly in Florida before moving to San Francisco. Also (though I don't have anything citable on this) I've heard his family lived briefly in NYC when he was a baby or toddler, then moved back to the West Indies. Does anybody have something solid & citable on that? -- Jmabel | Talk 08:24, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

 * in reference to his early bio......my paternal great grandfather, david jack born onthe island of barbuda and raised on the island of antigua was friends with bert williams during childhood.

however, in the 1880 us census,, the family is living in new york, new york. by 1899, bert gets married in new york. his family is listed in the census for 1900 in new york, and his father passes away around 1903. as a married person, he is listed in new york for 1910 and 1920. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.106.7.35 (talk • contribs) 15 June 2006.

 * That seems plausible. Does anyone have anything citable? -- Jmabel | Talk 21:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

First paragraph of "Early Life" states his birth was in the Bahamas/Nassau, yet below his picture it says "Sweetes, Antigua". Which one is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.50.196.228 (talk) 04:06, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Quote discrepancy
This article has two different versions of the same WC Fields quote. "the funniest man I ever saw—and the saddest man I ever knew." and "Funniest man I ever saw, saddest man I ever knew." Which one is correct? Kevin143 06:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

African American
This series of edits removes all mention of "African American" because he was born in the West Indies. While "African American" in the narrowest sense would exclude that, it is still a pretty common designation for black people born in any English-speaking part of the Americas who immigrate as children and are reasonably assimilated to African American culture. Stokely Carmichael would be another good example. PBS, The Schomburg Institute, and ''The St. Petersburg Times Floridian all refer to Williams this way.

I'll allow a bit of time for a reply, rather than simply reverting. - Jmabel | Talk 21:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Billing
It says, "In 1893, in San Francisco he formed the team of Williams and Walker, his partner being equally celebrated straight man George Walker."

Williams played the straight man. The straight man always got top billing. 75.36.151.35 (talk) 19:22, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Bahamian or American?
The prose indicates that Williams was a citizen of the Bahamas, but the categories indicate he was a US citizen. Which is the case? —C.Fred (talk) 17:48, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it's the best source, but Williams & Walker traveled to England a couple of times. On their return on June 23, 1904, the manifest has the heading: "Nationality (Country of last residence)" where for Williams it is filled in as "U.S." The next column is "Race or People" and it is filled in as "West Indian Negro." - kosboot (talk) 23:58, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * He became a naturalized citizen of the US in 1918, but was a permanent resident from the age of 11 or 12. This accounts for his being categorized as American; he could also be added to.
 * Edit warriors have repeatedly changed the lead section to identify Williams as Bahamian rather than American; this seems contrary to MOS:ETHNICITY, which states; "The opening paragraph should usually provide context for the activities that made the person notable. In most modern-day cases, this will be the country of which the person is a citizen, national, or permanent resident; or, if the person is notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national, or permanent resident when the person became notable." When Bert Williams became notable, the context for his activities was the United States, and reliable sources identify him as American (e.g., see Britannica). Wikipedia describes him as a Bahamian-born American entertainer, which seems more informative than describing him as a Bahamian entertainer. He did not have his career in the Bahamas—after arriving in the US he never went back. Ewulp (talk) 02:10, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, Ewlp. This happens on other bios like Chopin. I would suggest someone ask an admin to protect the page for a year and maybe a statement saying that the nationality should not be changed with out discussion on the talk page. - kosboot (talk) 13:22, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Also a songwriter?
Was Bert Williams also a songwriter? If so, why isn't he credited as such in the current version of this article? It seems that he composed the music for Nobody (1905 song). 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:07, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * He composed a number of songs. Someone should mention that.

New Westminster (federal electoral district)

New Westminster was a federal electoral district in the province of British Columbia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1871 to 1979.

This riding was created in 1871 as New Westminster District when British Columbia joined Confederation and filled by special byelection. It was renamed "New Westminster" in 1872. The riding was abolished in 1976, when it was redistributed into the ridings of New Westminster—Coquitlam and Burnaby.

History
Originally, this riding covered the entirety of the Lower Mainland, there being no other riding in the area (Vancouver riding was Vancouver Island, not the present city of Vancouver). Once the City of Vancouver and its suburbs the municipalities of Point Grey and South Vancouver were chartered, those areas were excluded from the New Westminster riding (1903) but the riding continued to include Richmond, Delta and all the Fraser Valley communities up the river to one mile beyond Yale. In 1914, the riding consisted of New Westminster, Richmond and Delta - the Surrey-Langley area had become part of the Fraser Valley riding. In a further redistribution in 1924, the riding was shrunk to all areas south of the Fraser River west of and including the Township of Langley, plus the city of New Westminster and the City of Burnaby. As population in the Lower Mainland continued to grow, the 1933 redistribution transferred northern Burnaby to Vancouver North. In 1947, the rest of Burnaby and Richmond were removed and became Burnaby-Richmond, and New Westminster riding consisted of New Westminster, Surrey, Delta and Langley.

The 1966 redistribution, which combined northern Burnaby into North Vancouver-Seymour, New Westminster riding extended as far into Burnaby as Grandview Highway and Edmonds Avenue, including Burnaby Mountain and the areas of Coquitlam west of Laurentian Avenue. At the time this included the then-municipality of Fraser Mills adjoining the francophone community at Maillardville. Langley, Surrey and Delta were excluded from the riding.

The riding was abolished in 1976. Successor ridings were Burnaby and New Westminster—Coquitlam.

Vancouver (electoral district)

Vancouver was a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1872 to 1904. This riding was created for the 1872 federal election, following British Columbia's admission into the Canadian Confederation in 1871, and lasted until 1903.

The name of this riding is not derived from the contemporary City of Vancouver, B.C., but from its first incarnation in 1871 as the riding representing Vancouver Island (excepting the Victoria-area ridings). The Vancouver area was part of the New Westminster electoral district at the time of the province joining Confederation.

Dragons' Den

Dragons' Den is a reality television program format in which entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of venture capitalists in the hope of securing investment finance from them. The program originated in 2001 in Japan, where it is known as The Tigers of Money (マネーの虎), a pun on "The Tiger of Malaya" (マレーの虎), which was the nickname of WWII general Tomoyuki Yamashita. The format was created and is owned by Nippon TV and is distributed by Sony Pictures Television.

Local versions of the show have been produced in over 40 countries, as well as one for the Arab world and Morocco; in some countries, more than one version has been aired. The first version to air outside of Japan was the British programme Dragons' Den, which launched in 2005; in the several years afterward, most versions named themselves Dragons' Den or variations thereof, though some also used other animals in the title, such as lions. Since the launch of the U.S. version of the show, Shark Tank, in 2009, many versions have been named Shark Tank or variations thereof. In versions where the name of the show contains a creature's name, the investors are referred to by that name. The Israeli version of the show, HaKrishim ("The Sharks"), was the first to use the "shark" moniker, during its launch in 2006.

Format
The contestants are usually inventors, product designers, or service operators who have what they consider to be a viable and potentially very profitable business idea, but who lack funding and/or business acumen. They pitch their idea to five rich entrepreneurial businesspeople, who in most iterations of the show are referred to as "dragons", "tigers" (in the original Japanese show), "lions" or "sharks". Before the show, the contestants have named a specific amount of money that they wish to get along with a percentage in the business that the contestant is offering to sell to the investors. The rules stipulate that if they do not raise at least this amount from the dragons, they get nothing. In return, the contestant gives the dragons a percentage of the company's capital stock, which is the chief point of negotiation. The program does not show the entire pitch as scenes are selected and edited from the episode due to time constraints.

The dragons probe the idea further once the contestant has made the presentation. This will either reveal a sound business proposition resulting in an investment offer from one or more of the dragons in return for equity or a withdrawal from the transaction by either the contestant or all of the dragons. A rejection by the dragons is often given as "I'm out" which is usually triggered (in the investor's opinion) by the investor asking for a larger equity stake in the business than the contestant wants to give up, the contestant's valuation on the business being too high compared to its overall profits, the product not having any proprietary value, or the investor's belief that they cannot add value to the business. Sometimes the dragons identify troubling facts such as an embarrassing lack of preparation on the part of the contestant, the contestant's lack of business knowledge, their perceived margins, competitors, insufficient sales, or high manufacturing costs. Contestants often negotiate and barter with the investors. The deals agreed to on the program may or may not actually be carried through.

Yale (federal electoral district)

Yale was a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1872 to 1892 and from 1917 to 1953.

It first appeared when the original Yale District riding, which was created and filled by special byelection in 1871 at the time of BC's entry into the Canadian Confederation, was abolished and replaced by "Yale" riding. Yale riding spanned both Yale and Kootenay Land Districts, that is to say, the entirety of the southern province from the Fraser Canyon to the Rockies. It was last used in the 1891 election, and was merged in 1892 with the Cariboo riding to form Yale—Cariboo.

That arrangement lasted until 1914 when a further redistribution separated Yale and Cariboo once again. This second incarnation was considerably smaller than the first because Kootenay district was now in a different riding. In 1903, the riding of Kootenay was split off from what had been the original Yale riding.

The "new" Yale riding excluded the Town of Yale, and when it was reconstituted, coincided with the provincial Okanagan riding except for the city of Salmon Arm.

The new incarnation of Yale lasted until 1952, when the Yale name vanished from the Commons and the Okanagan ridings, Okanagan Boundary and Okanagan—Revelstoke were created. The old core area around the town of historic and once-important Yale, which has long since became depopulated by being bypassed by massive growth elsewhere, was attached to the Fraser Valley riding, then to its successor Fraser Valley East, and then to today's Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon. It was not in the second incarnation of the Yale riding when it was reconstituted in 1914.

History and political geography
This riding was created as Yale District in 1871 as a result of British Columbia joining Confederation. In 1872, it was abolished and replaced by "Yale" for the 1872 federal election. This original version of the riding covered both Yale and Kootenay Land Districts, in other words the whole of the southern portion of the province from the Fraser Canyon to the Rocky Mountains. It existed in this form until 1892, when Yale was amalgamated with Cariboo to form Yale—Cariboo, also known as "Yale and Cariboo" when recognized by the Speaker. The first election had only 62 voters, the second 109, and most of these were in the area of the Fraser Canyon towns of Boston Bar, Hope, Yale. The rest were a scattered handful of ranches and mining camps in the Okanagan, Nicola and Similkameen regions.

Under the Representation Act of 1892, the constituencies of Yale and Cariboo were united to form Yale—Cariboo. In 1914, that riding was broken up and the Yale and Cariboo riding-names were restored, although the new constituencies were considerably smaller than before. The restored Yale riding included the Boundary Country around Grand Forks and Greenwood, but the Kootenay was now a separate riding and the town of Yale itself was not in the restored Yale riding, but in the new riding of Westminster District. The first election using the new boundaries was in 1917, although the seat was won by acclamation by the Hon. Martin Burrell, who had been the member for Yale—Cariboo.

It was reconstituted as Yale in 1914 and lasted until 1952. This version of the riding comprised the provincial electoral district of Okanagan, excepting the parts of the city and district municipality of Salmon Arm contained in the provincial riding, and the provincial electoral districts of Similkameen, Greenwood and Grand Forks. Yale therefore contained the entire Okanagan, Boundary and Similkameen country, and the Fraser Canyon immediately around the town of Yale itself. The main difference from the earlier version of the riding is the absence of the Kootenays.

A redistribution in 1933 rearranged the riding's boundaries, once again including the original core area around Yale and Hope, though the bulk of the riding's population remained in the orchard towns of the Okanagan.

The district was recreated in 1914 for use in the Canadian federal election of 1917. It was again abolished in 1952, being redistricted into Okanagan Boundary and Okanagan—Revelstoke.

Yale riding was abolished in 1952. Its successor ridings were Okanagan Boundary and Okanagan—Revelstoke. Areas of the original core area around Yale are now part of Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon, which extends up the Fraser River to Lillooet.

Avaí FC

Avaí Futebol Clube is a Brazilian football team from Florianópolis in Santa Catarina, founded on 1 September 1923. Their home stadium is Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva, also known as Ressacada, with a capacity of 17,800. They play in blue and white shirts, shorts and socks.

History
The club was founded after a businessman called Amadeu Horn gave football kits to a group of boys. The boys played a match against a team called Humaitá, and won. On 1 September 1923, at Amadeu Horn's house, the club was founded, known as Avahy Football Club at the time. The team was named Avahy after the Battle of Avay, in the Paraguayan War. In the following year, it became the first Santa Catarina State Championship champion.

Avaí has played in the Brazilian First Division ("Série A") eleven times: 1974, 1976, 1977, 1979, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022. In 1998, they won their only national title, the Brazilian Third Division ("Série C"). From 1999 to 2008 and from 2012 to 2014, they played in the Série B with their best campaigns being the third place attained in 2004 (when Avaí reached the Final Four, but could not be promoted to the First Division because only the two best placed teams were promoted) and 2008.

In 2008 they finished 3rd in the championship and were promoted to the First Division for the first time in 30 years. In its first year playing in Série A, Avaí finished in 6th place, thus qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana. This has been the best participation ever by a club from the State of Santa Catarina in the Brazilian first division. The team eventually was relegated in 2011, and returned to the Série A in 2014, when the team won the promotion in the last round. Avaí won the most Santa Catarina State Championship titles in the 20th Century (13), and is currently the all-time record state champions (18), same as cross-bridge rivals Figueirense.

Rivals
Avaí's greatest rival is Figueirense.

Club colors and nickname
The club colors are blue and white, and it is known as "The Lion of the Island" (because 90% of the Florianópolis territory is established on an island).

Copa Sudamericana

 * 9 seasons in Série A
 * 19 seasons in Série B
 * 5 seasons in Série C

Stadium
Avaí's stadium is Estádio Aderbal Ramos da Silva (though it's mostly referred to as Ressacada), and it was inaugurated in 1983. It has a maximum capacity of 17,800 people, but its record crowd was 32,000 at the 1988 State Championship final. Before 1983, Avaí's stadium was Estádio Adolfo Konder (which has been subsequently demolished).

History
Originally, Saint John had a special setup for representation in Parliament. The City of Saint John itself returned one member, and the entire County of Saint John (including the city) returned one as well, and two between 1872 and 1896. In effect, the city itself had two or even three Members of Parliament. This practice continued until 1914.

After 1914, the counties of Saint John and Albert were joined, and the riding was known as St. John—Albert. It returned two Members of Parliament until 1935. In 1966, Albert County was moved to the Fundy—Royal riding and the district became known as Saint John—Lancaster. Saint John—Lancaster riding was abolished in the redistribution of ridings of 1976, and Saint John riding was created.

Mount Lincoln (Colorado)

Mount Lincoln is the eighth-highest summit of the Rocky Mountains of North America and the U.S. state of Colorado. The prominent 4356.5 m fourteener is the highest summit of the Mosquito Range and the eleventh-highest summit in the contiguous United States. Mount Lincoln is located in Pike National Forest, 8.3 km north-northwest (bearing 332°) of the Town of Alma in Park County, Colorado, United States. The summit of Mount Lincoln is the highest point in Park County and the entire drainage basin of the Missouri River. The mountain was named in honor of Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States.

Climbing
Mount Lincoln is typically climbed from the Kite Lake Trailhead, at the end of Park County Road 8. Many climbers attempt to combine the summit of Mount Lincoln with those of Mount Bross and Mount Democrat in one climb.

Access issues
Silver was discovered here in 1874.

Mount Lincoln, along with its neighbors Cameron, Democrat and Bross, is pockmarked with old mines, and much of the land is owned privately by mining companies; a large mine still operates in nearby Climax. In the summer of 2005, these landowners denied access to the peaks by hikers and climbers, fearing liability in the case of injury, and citing the particular dangers due to the presence of old mine workings. On August 1, 2006, the town of Alma signed a deal to lease the peaks for a nominal fee, to reduce the potential liability to the owners and free up the peaks for recreational access. The opening of these peaks excludes the summit of Mount Bross since not all of the landowners have given permission for access to the area.

Jack Beddington

John Louis Beddington (1893–1959) was a United Kingdom advertising executive, best known for his work as publicity director for Shell in the 1930s and as head of the Ministry of Information Films Division during World War II.

Early life
Jack Beddington was born in South Kensington, London in 1893 to Charles Lindsay Beddington and Stella Goldschmidt de Libantia. He was educated at Wellington College and Balliol College, Oxford.

During World War I he served with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. He was wounded at Ypres. In January 1918 he married Olivia Margaret Streatfeild.

Shell-Mex and BP
After a period working for the Asiatic Petroleum Company in Shanghai, Beddington became publicity manager for Shell UK in 1928. During the 1930s, Beddington worked as assistant general manager and director of publicity for Shell-Mex & BP, a joint marketing venture started in 1932 between Shell and BP. He employed a number of artists such as Paul Nash, John Piper, James Gardner and Graham Sutherland to produce artwork for Shell.

During this time, he spent a significant amount of money on producing films through the Shell Film Unit, on various topics. This unit was established by Edgar Anstey in 1934 as a result of a report written by documentary film-maker John Grierson about how Shell could make better use of film publicity. Rather than being direct advertising, the films produced served to promote a more positive image of Shell as existing for the public good rather than merely for profit. He also established, with John Betjeman, the 'Shell Guides' to English counties.

Second World War
In April 1940, Beddington was appointed director of the Ministry of Information Films Division, replacing Kenneth Clark. He remained in this post until 1946.

In August 1940, he renamed the GPO Film Unit as the Crown Film Unit, with Ian Dalrymple as its head. This unit focused on the production of documentary films, which Beddington supported even in the face of opposition from the Select Committee on National Expenditure. Almost three-quarters of all films produced or commissioned by the Films Division between 1940 and 1945 were written, directed or produced by members of the documentary film movement, a group of film-makers brought together by John Grierson. Although many of these documentaries were for non-theatrical distribution, under Beddington's tenure, the Crown Film Unit produced such feature-length documentaries as Target for Tonight, Desert Victory and Western Approaches.

After the war, Beddington and Barnett Freedman helped launch the Lyons' Lithograph series.

Jack Beddington’s medals to the right include the miniatures of the same below. The large blue neck decoration is the CBE – Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire awarded in 1943 for services to the war effort as a civilian. In the 3rd row of the top case are Carol Lobb’s (nee Beddington) WWII medals from serving as a code breaker at Bletchley Park. She was the daughter of Jack and Olivia.
