Saskatoon Riversdale

Saskatoon Riversdale is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. It was held by two Premiers of Saskatchewan from 1991 to 2007 – Roy Romanow and Lorne Calvert. It is currently represented by Marv Friesen of the Saskatchewan Party.

The constituency was one of five created for the city of Saskatoon when the former multi-member constituency of Saskatoon City was abolished prior to the 1967 general election. Of those five ridings, Saskatoon Riversdale is the only one to have existed continuously without renaming.

It contains Riversdale, a subdivision of the Core Neighbourhoods Suburban Development Area in Saskatoon.

The riding has historically been an NDP stronghold, although it was won by the Saskatchewan Party in the 2020 provincial election. It had been in NDP hands for all but one term of its existence.

Cannington (electoral district)

Cannington is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. Located in the extreme southeast corner of the province, this constituency was redrawn to include the former district of Souris for the 18th Saskatchewan general election in 1975.

The original Cannington constituency, one of 25 created for the 1st Saskatchewan general election in 1905, was named after the Cannington Manor settlement located in the region.

Currently the safest seat for the Saskatchewan Party, it is arguably one of the most conservative ridings in the province – having never elected a member of the CCF or NDP.

The district has an economy based on grain and mixed farming. Oil production is scattered throughout the riding and oil service companies provide a great deal of off-farm employment. An integrated health facility in Wawota offers acute, long-term and palliative care.

The constituency's major communities include Carlyle, Oxbow, and Carnduff with populations of 2,129, 1,260 and 1,017 respectively. Smaller centres in the district include the towns of Redvers, Lampman, Stoughton, Wawota, Arcola and Alameda; and the villages of Manor, Gainsborough, Maryfield, Carievale and Kenosee Lake.

Jermaine Jenas

Jermaine Anthony Jenas (born 18 February 1983) is an English television presenter, football pundit and former professional footballer. He played as a central midfielder for English club sides Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Queens Park Rangers, scoring a career total of 39 goals from 341 league appearances. He also appeared 21 times for the senior England national football team, scoring one goal.

A promising talent, Jenas made his professional debut at age 17 for his boyhood club Nottingham Forest who were playing in the second tier, before moving to Premier League club Newcastle United for £5 million just over a year later, where he earned his first senior England cap in February 2003 aged 19 and was named PFA Young Player of the Year for the 2002–03 season. Hampered by several serious injuries, Jenas failed to reach the career heights expected of him, although he remained at the top level, moving to Tottenham in 2005 for £7 million, with whom he won the Football League Cup in the 2007–08 season. While with Tottenham, he travelled with England to the 2006 FIFA World Cup but was an unused substitute; he played his last England match in 2009.

The tail end of his playing career saw loan spells at Aston Villa in the Premier League in 2011 and Nottingham Forest in the second tier in 2012, before a permanent move to struggling Premier League club Queens Park Rangers in the January 2013 transfer window. Relegated with QPR in May, he played for much of the following season before injury finally forced his retirement. While still recuperating from his final injury, he moved into media work as a pundit, a role which he has continued beyond retirement, most recently for the BBC on Match of the Day, as well as BT Sport. He also began co-presenting The One Show for the BBC in 2020.

Early life and education
Jenas was born in Nottingham and is of mixed Afro-Caribbean and English descent. His father Dennis was born with the surname Genas but had it changed by deed poll as he wanted the initials "D. J.". Dennis also played semi-professionally with local side Shepshed Charterhouse in the 1980s. He grew up on a council estate and was educated at the Catholic Becket School in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire. According to Jenas, there was "a lot of racism, not only thrown towards me, but also my mum, about my dad and about me, on the street".

Nottingham Forest
Jenas began his career at Nottingham Forest, then in the First Division. He made his debut aged 17 on 7 January 2001, starting in a 1–0 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup. One week later, again as a starter, he played his first league game, and was replaced by David Freeman in the 68th minute of a 3–0 home defeat to Crystal Palace, his only other game of the season.

In the 2001–02 season, Jenas became a regular and scored his first senior goal on 18 August in a 2–1 defeat at Barnsley. After four goals in 33 games across all competitions, Jenas was sold to Newcastle United for £5 million in February 2002.

Newcastle United
In 2002 Jenas joined Newcastle United from Nottingham Forest. Newcastle United, investing in youth, paid a transfer fee of £5 million for Jenas and he became the second most expensive teenager in British football after Robbie Keane. His club transfer record for a teenager lasted for months when, in the following preseason, Newcastle United broke the club record, and the then British record for a teenager, in signing the 2002 Young European Footballer of the Year award winner and Portuguese international Hugo Viana for £8.5 million. After the 2001–2002 season Jenas first experienced international tournament football, when, being in the England squad, he was involved in the U21 European Championships held in Switzerland.

In the 2001–2002 football season, Jenas played 12 games for Newcastle United and Newcastle United qualified for the 2002–03 Champions League. In his first full season with Newcastle he won the 2002–03 PFA Young Player of the Year award. In the 2002–03 season he managed to play 32 games in the Premier League and scored 6 goals. Jenas failed to repeat his initial form with the club and his two subsequent seasons were disappointing considering his early promise; he was known for his strong "box-to-box" play and ability to score from midfield. In the 2003–04 season Jenas played 31 Premier League games and scored 2 goals. In the 2004–05 season Jenas played 31 games Premier League games and scored one goal. Despite temporarily regaining his form and gaining the vice-captaincy under new manager Graeme Souness early in the 2004–05 season, Jenas' form dipped again with only two goals in 48 appearances. He scored a total of 12 goals in 152 appearances for Newcastle.

At Newcastle United he played alongside international footballers such as, Laurent Robert, Gary Speed, Alan Shearer, Shay Given, Nolberto Solano, Patrick Kluivert and Kieron Dyer. In his first three seasons at Newcastle, Newcastle played in European football; twice in the Champions League, in seasons 2002–03, 2003–04 and twice in the UEFA Cup in seasons 2003–04 after failing at a group stage in the Champions League, and for the 2004–05 UEFA Cup his last season at Newcastle. Jenas also won 14 of his 21 caps for England when with Newcastle United. On 31 August 2005 at the age of 22, Newcastle United accepted an offer of £7 million for him from Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur
Rumours of Jenas' unhappiness were confirmed early in the 2005–06 season by manager Graeme Souness, when he revealed Jenas was not enjoying life at Newcastle, and the player reportedly compared life at the club to living "in a goldfish bowl". He was subsequently sold to Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day – 31 August – for an initial fee of £7 million. Throughout the season, Jenas netted seven goals from midfield as Tottenham qualified for the UEFA Cup. He marked his return from a 13-match absence through injury by scoring the second goal in Tottenham's 3–1 FA Cup fourth round win over Southend United.

Jenas signed a new five-year deal with Tottenham on 29 August 2007, keeping him at the club until 2012. Under Juande Ramos, Jenas' form improved greatly and he initially produced occasional impressive performances, partly due to the new regime but also from some personal words of encouragement from the Spaniard. Jenas played in the 1–1 draw and the 5–1 victory over rivals Arsenal in both legs of the semi-finals of the League Cup, scoring the opening goals in both matches. Jenas set up Jonathan Woodgate for the winning goal in the 2–1 League Cup final victory over Chelsea on 24 February 2008.

At the end of July 2008, Jenas added a one-year extension to his five-year contract, keeping him at Tottenham until 2013. A few days later, he was named as Spurs' new vice-captain following the departures of Robbie Keane and Paul Robinson. On 26 December against Fulham, Jenas made his 100th league appearance for Tottenham. He scored the only goal in a 1–0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Aston Villa loan
On 31 August 2011, Jenas joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan deal from Tottenham. He wore the number 8 shirt at Villa, the same number he had while at Spurs. Jenas eventually made his debut for Villa on 5 November, after a series of niggling injuries, coming on as a second-half substitute against Norwich City. Jenas then came on for his second appearance for Villa on 27 November against Swansea City, as a 69th-minute substitute for striker Emile Heskey.

On 3 December, Jenas started his first game for Villa against Manchester United. While playing, he tripped over his own feet and suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon injury in a game that saw him, Shay Given and Javier Hernández all leave on stretchers. The injury kept him out for six months, effectively ending his spell at the club.

Return to Nottingham Forest
Jenas returned to Tottenham following his surgery, being given the number 21 for forthcoming 2012–13 season. On 28 September 2012, Jenas signed a month-long emergency loan deal with former club Nottingham Forest. He scored his first goal of his loan spell away at Barnsley in a 4–1 win. On 1 November, Forest announced that Jenas' loan had been extended until January 2013 although his final appearance was on 17 November in a home win against Sheffield Wednesday. In the 6 games he played on loan, Forest did not lose any (with a record of three wins and three draws).

Queens Park Rangers
On the final day of the January 2013 transfer window, Queens Park Rangers signed Jenas on an 18-month contract for an undisclosed fee from Tottenham, to be re-united with former manager Harry Redknapp. He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 home victory over Sunderland on 9 March. He scored again in the following game, on 16 March, a 3–2 defeat against Aston Villa. He made a total of 12 appearances for his new club, but was unable to prevent them being relegated with three games to go. After making 28 appearances for QPR in the Championship, Jenas suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during a training session in April 2014, which ruled him out for the rest of the season. Although his contract expired at the end of the 2013–14 season, he remained with QPR during his rehabilitation process.

International career
Jenas played for England from the under-15 level right up to the senior team, where he made his debut against Australia on 12 February 2003, under manager Sven-Göran Eriksson.

Despite struggling with injury towards the end of the 2005–06 season, he recovered sufficiently to be named in the 2006 FIFA World Cup squad, but did not play at the tournament. In the first game, he had got as far as getting changed to be brought on as a last-minute substitute, before being thwarted by the final whistle.

His improvement at Spurs earned him a call-up to the England squad for Fabio Capello's first game in charge, a friendly against Switzerland at Wembley Stadium on 6 February 2008; Jenas scored the opening goal in the 40th minute as England won 2–1.

In total, Jenas earned 21 caps at senior level, scoring one goal.

Retirement
Jenas formally announced his retirement from football on 7 January 2016 on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, having been unable to recover fully from his knee injury. Looking back on his career in 2014, he cited his PFA award and his League Cup win as his career highlights in terms of personal and team achievements respectively, and detailed his biggest regret as never having been able to play for his boyhood club Nottingham Forest at the highest level. On the question of whether or not he had underachieved in his career given his talent at a young age, he answered "yes and no", arguing that he was happy with what he had done, but that he had been held back both by injuries and the shock of losing Bobby Robson as his manager at Newcastle, which "was bigger [to him] than people think it was". He revealed that he had played while injured for a few years, simply to be on the pitch because he loved the game, even though it "probably took 10 or 20% out of my play". He also expressed regret at not having got the chance to play at a World Cup, describing his relationship with former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson as a "love/hate relationship", given he was the one who gave him his debut, but in his view had not given him a fair chance nor used him properly when he did play him.

Football
After Jenas was released by QPR, he moved into television as a freelance pundit, firstly he was an analyst for ITV Sport's coverage of the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League. In November 2014, he joined BT Sport where he regularly features in the studio alongside other pundits to provide analysis on the game.

On 1 April 2022 Jenas was the "Draw Conductor" for the 2022 FIFA World Cup draw.

In September 2023, Jenas wrote on Twitter that referee Robert Jones was a "complete shithouse" and said that all referees were ruining football. After being challenged by a refereeing charity due to his platform as a television pundit, he apologised.

Other work
In 2015, Jenas appeared as part of Channel 4's Time Crashers, a reality television programme in which celebrities were assigned the tasks of living in different historical eras.

Jenas presented a BBC Three documentary in April 2017 on knife-crime, focusing on his home town of Nottingham. During Teenage Knife Wars, he recalled an incident in his youth where he was the victim of a knife-point robbery.

In 2020, Jenas began co-presenting The One Show on BBC One with Alex Jones. In 2021 Jenas became one of its permanent hosts.

In April 2023, Channel 4 commissioned The World’s Most Expensive Trainers; an upcoming documentary that Jenas will present.

In December 2023, it was announced Jenas would serve as lead presenter for TNT Sports for the UK coverage of the FIA Formula E World Championship starting from the 2023-24 season.

Personal life
Jenas and his wife Ellie have two daughters together, while he has an older daughter from a previous relationship who lives in the United States with her mother. He now lives in Hertfordshire. He enjoys cooking. On 8 October 2021, Jenas announced the birth of his son.

Jenas and a friend set up the Aquinas Foundation, which offers football tickets to truant students at disadvantaged schools in Nottingham and London if they can achieve a 100% attendance. Jenas has endorsed the clothing retailer Jacamo, and the bookmaker William Hill.

In October 2022, Jenas was fined £2,070 and banned from driving for six months for speeding and using his mobile phone in two hands while driving on the M25 motorway in Hertfordshire.

Kelvington-Wadena

Kelvington-Wadena is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada, in the east-central region.

The riding was last contested in the 2020 general election, when it returned Saskatchewan Party MLA Hugh Nerlien.

The largest population centres in the constituency are Wynyard, Wadena, Foam Lake, Kelvington and Porcupine Plain. Villages in the riding include Bjorkdale, Elfros, Rama, Archerwill, Margo and Lintlaw. Both major Canadian railways – the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific – have branch lines serving the area.

History
Kelvington-Wadena was created in 1975 by merging the ridings of Kelvington and Wadena. However, the riding has been significantly reconfigured several times since then. For the 1995 general election, the riding was significantly expanded east and west, taking in territory from Canora and Quill Lakes which were being merged and eliminated, respectively. The next major reconfiguration came prior to the 2003 general election, at which time the riding exchanged significant territory between Canora-Pelly, Last Mountain-Touchwood, Melfort and Carrot River Valley. For the next general election, the riding will gain territory west and south of Wynyard from Arm River and lose territory around Invermay and Tisdale to Canora-Pelly and Carrot River Valley, respectively.

From its creation until 1999, the riding returned MLAs from all three major parties. It originally alternated between the New Democrats and Progressive Conservatives, before being won by Liberal MLA June Draude with a thin plurality. Draude joined the Saskatchewan Party upon its founding in 1997, and the riding has been held by Saskatchewan Party MLAs since.

Members of the Legislative Assembly
This riding has elected the following members of the Legislative Assembly:

Royal Medal

The Royal Medal, also known as The Queen's Medal and The King's Medal (depending on the gender of the monarch at the time of the award), is a silver-gilt medal, of which three are awarded each year by the Royal Society, two for "the most important contributions to the advancement of natural knowledge" and one for "distinguished contributions in the applied sciences", done within the Commonwealth of Nations.

Background
The award was created by George IV and awarded first during 1826. Initially there were two medals awarded, both for the most important discovery within the year previous, a time period which was lengthened to five years and then shortened to three. The format was endorsed by William IV and Victoria, who had the conditions changed during 1837 so that mathematics was a subject for which a Royal Medal could be awarded, albeit only every third year. The conditions were changed again during 1850 so that: ... the Royal Medals in each year should be awarded for the two most important contributions to the advancement of Natural Knowledge, published originally in Her Majesty's dominions within a period of not more than ten years and not less than one year of the date of the award, subject, of course, to Her Majesty's approval. ... in the award of the Royal Medals, one should be given in each of the two great divisions of Natural Knowledge.

During 1965, the system was changed to its current format, in which three medals are awarded annually by the monarch on the recommendation of the Royal Society Council. Because of its dual nature (for both physical and biological science) the award winners are chosen by both the A- and B-side Award Committees. Since its establishment during 1826 the medal has been awarded 405 times.

Destrii

Destrii, or the Primatrix Destriianatos, is a fictional character who appeared in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. She was a companion of the Eighth Doctor.

Character history
Destrii is an amphibious humanoid with scaly skin, claws and a face resembling that of a fish. She first appears in Ophidius, written by Scott Gray and drawn by Martin Geraghty and Robin Smith. The Doctor and Izzy encounter her inside the gargantuan snake-like spacecraft known as Ophidius, which swallowed the TARDIS. She is extremely agile, shows remarkable combat abilities and has a knowledge of Earth's popular culture, but is also initially unprincipled and quick to exhibit violent behavior.

Destrii survived on her own inside the belly of Ophidius for a long time while being pursued by the aliens that control the world-snake. To evade pursuit, she tricks Izzy into using a machine which places their minds in each other's bodies. Destrii tries to pose as Izzy and escape with the Doctor in the TARDIS. The Doctor, seeing her violent tendencies, sees through the deception. However, before the Doctor can do anything to reverse the mind switch, Destrii, in Izzy's body, is seemingly disintegrated by a member of the predatory (but intelligent) species known as the Mobox.

While Izzy is adjusting to the trauma of being trapped in an alien body, she is kidnapped by representatives of Destrii's mother, the Matriax Scalamanthia of the planet Oblivion. Retracing his steps with the help of former companion Fey, the Doctor finds Ophidius anchored in the skies above the Mobox homeworld, and Destrii alive in its jungles. It transpires that the Mobox have the ability to retain the patterns of those they disintegrate and reconstitute them. B'rostt, the Mobox who attacked Destrii, reconstituted Destrii and left her in the jungles to die. Meanwhile B'rostt left to build a new empire on his planet. Destrii, however, was made of sterner stuff and survived, even in Izzy's body. The Doctor takes Destrii with him, determined to find Izzy and restore his companion to her rightful body (Uroboros, DWM #319-#322).

On Oblivion, the Doctor discovers that Destrii is a member of a race that had been genetically manipulated so that no two individuals are alike. Generations ago, the people of Oblivion had looked human until the ruling families attacked their enemies using a plague that stripped its victims' minds bare. The families sealed themselves up to wait out the plague's progress, but discovered that the victims had been transformed instead into living generators of psychic energy who shared a gestalt consciousness. The Horde, as they were known, transformed the ruling families into animalistic humanoids for entertainment and sealed Oblivion from the rest of the universe.

Discovering that Destrii is in Izzy's body, the Horde representatives that kidnapped Izzy switch them back, during which Destrii and Izzy see into each other's minds as the transfer occurs. Izzy sees that Destrii is the daughter of the ruling Matriax, whom the Horde still defers to. However, Destrii was also been raised in the arena, fighting death duels all her life and is feared by everyone except her uncle Jodafra, who looks like a humanoid lion. Jodafra has built a chronon capsule that Destrii used to escape before, but the Matriax brought her back to be wed. When Destrii refuses, the Matriax begins to beat her and, pushed beyond tolerance, Destrii kills her mother. The Horde then descends on Destrii, choosing her as their new leader and transforming her into a psychic energy generator as well.

Destrii is about to destroy the cities of Oblivion with her newfound power when Izzy reminds her of her desire to be free and urges her not to become just one of the monolithic Horde. It is then revealed that Jodafra had allowed Destrii to escape to prove his chronon capsule sound, and while the Matriax and the Horde searched for Destrii, he had perfected a device that would drain the Horde to power the capsule for his escape. Realizing that she has been used, Destrii pours her own energy and that of the Horde into the capsule, reverting to her amphibian form and giving her and her uncle the ability to roam time and space (Oblivion, DWM #323-#328).

The Doctor next encounters Jodafra and Destrii in North America in 1875, near the Lakota village led by Chief Sitting Bull. Jodafra has made an agreement with the other-worldly spirit known as the Windigo to feed it human flesh in exchange for help to navigate the time stream. When Destrii realizes that Jodafra means to sacrifice Lakota children to the Windigo, she destroys the equipment that supports the Windigo, allowing the Doctor and the Lakota to defeat it. Enraged, Jodafra beats Destrii nearly to death, leaving her battered and unconscious body in the snow and departing in his capsule. The Doctor finds Destrii and takes her to Hippocrates Base, a space station hospital, to heal (Bad Blood, DWM #338-#342).

There, Destrii aids the Doctor in repelling a Zeronite attack on the base. While the Doctor acknowledges that Destrii is an "egocentric, immature hellion" with a violent streak "wider than the Gobi Desert", he also feels that there is a decent person underneath that surface. He offers to give her a second chance and show her the universe if she will stick to the rules, and Destrii gladly accepts (Sins of the Fathers, DWM #343-#345).

Their first trip together is to Earth, where Destrii wears a holographic disguise that makes her look human. Together, they foil an invasion by the Cybermen (The Flood, DWM #346-#353). That turned out to be the last regular Eighth Doctor comic strip story in DWM, and the story ends with Destrii and the Doctor walking off into the sunset to as-yet unrevealed further adventures.

Destrii finally returned in 2016's story The Stockbridge Showdown (DWM #500), which reveals that she became Empress of Oblivion and now fights for good causes. She meets up with the Twelfth Doctor and Izzy, who both welcome her and spend time with her after the adventure.

The Flood
In 2007, Panini Books reprinted Destrii's final comic strip adventures in the reprint volume Doctor Who: The Flood (ISBN 978-1-905239-65-8). The book includes Scott Gray's original pitch to strip editor Clayton Hickman on how Destrii would transform from a villain to a companion. In his pitch, Gray proposes that, among other things, Destrii be sexually attracted to the Doctor and that her holographic appearance be that of a young black woman whose dreadlocks could be analogous to Destrii's body shape.

In a supporting essay on the "Sins of the Father" comic strip arc, which describes the origins of Destrii's holographic disguise, Gray writes that Destrii's disguise was given red hair instead because the BBC had just announced the Scream of the Shalka webcast adventure, and giving Destrii dreadlocks would have made her look almost identical to the Shalka Doctor's companion, Alison Cheney. Destrii's holographic disguise was based on pop star Ashanti, after Gray saw her in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "First Date".

In "Flood Barriers", an essay by Hickman on the end of the Eighth Doctor comic strips, it is stated that when the 2005 revival of the series was announced, he had originally planned for Destrii to witness the Doctor's regeneration into the Ninth Doctor at the end of The Flood, followed by a "Ninth Doctor: Year One" story arc which would have written Destrii out before the Doctor's adventures resumed with Rose Tyler. This was vetoed by new series producer Russell T Davies, in friendly cooperation with the comic creators.

A letter to Doctor Who Magazine noted that in the Torchwood episode "Greeks Bearing Gifts", an alien calling itself "Mary" bore a strong resemblance to Destrii; the magazine's editors concurred. Later, The Torchwood Archives by Gary Russell specified that Destrii and Mary are from the same system. Destrii's home planet Oblivion is listed along with Devos, Krant and Arcateen IV, V and VI form the Arcan system. The Sarah Jane Adventures episode "Invasion of the Bane" had featured another such alien, "star poet", from Arcateen V.

Moose Jaw North

Moose Jaw North is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. One of two provincial constituencies for the city of Moose Jaw, the riding contains the area of the city north of Caribou Street from 9th Avenue in the east to Thatcher Drive in the west.

History
This district (along with its counterpart Moose Jaw Wakamow) was created for the 1967 election after the Saskatchewan government decided to retire a system of multiple-MLA electoral divisions for the cities of Regina, Saskatoon, and Moose Jaw. The riding's name was changed to Moose Jaw Palliser for the 1991 general election, and subsequently changed back to Moose Jaw North for the 1995 general election.

For the next general election, the riding will gain a section of the Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw north of the city limits, from the Trans-Canada Highway northward to Eight Mile Road. However, the riding's southern boundary within the city will not change.

Talk:Junta

Untitled
Maybe this ought to have its own page, rather than just being filed under the "miltary dictatorship" article?
 * As a junta is the most typical and frequent type of military dictatorship, you probably would do better to specify in the lists in that section which are/were ruled by ne or more military juntas, and when (specified) other subtypes occurred. In quite some cases this also involved chnging a state's offical name Fastifex 10:40, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

"pronounced as in Spanish /huːntə/ or /hʊntə/" This is nothing like the Spanish pronunciation. It might be how US-Americans mispronounce Spanish words. In Spanish it would be ['xunta]. Also, phonetic transcriptions should be enclosed in square brackets (Manual of Style (pronunciation)).--84.188.195.131 02:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Spanish and Latin American pronounciations are different - that does not make one right and the other wrong. -- Beardo 06:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

"Jet Set Junta"
Re: "Jet Set Junta is a song by the influential, though little known, UK band The Monochrome Set" Can a band be influential yet little known? There is no wikipedia entry for the band... maybe they aren't all that influential? Blastfromthepast 05:27, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * They do have an article: The Monochrome Set. --Smack (talk) 00:33, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguating junta
Don't tell me to stop, because I didn't. B-) Uses of "junta" can be divided into two classes:

 * 1) Spanish uses.  This is any use which arises from Spanish.  This includes the Habsburg and Peninsula War uses, but the word can be used for anything from a school board to a chess club.
 * 2) English uses.  When someone writes about a former junta in Greece or present one in Fiji, this is an English word refering to a government set up after a military coup, with little or no constitutional legitimacy.

I can understand that Spanish speakers don't like it, but when "junta" is used in English, it usually means the latter. I have directed most of these to [[Military junta]]. Unfortunately, [[Military junta]] is redirected to [[Military dictatorship]], and prior disambiguators have linked [[junta]] directly there. While the Greek Colonels were clearly a military dictatorship, there are many cases where characterizing a junta as a dictatorship is unfair. When a corrupt regime is in power, often a military coup will depose the government with the intent of installing a civilian government. In the interim, the country is either ruled by a single person (a military strongman) or a committee (junta). In some cases, a junta respects the laws passed by prior republican governments, and passes power to to a new government in a few months. In such cases, linking to military dictatorship is wrong, and when the junta was installed yesterday (as often happens at Wikipedia), the junta deserves the benefit of the doubt.

I have linked many articles to military junta, knowing that military dictatorship is wrong. We need an article titled "Military junta" that talks about juntas, distinct from dictatorships. Then someone needs to find all the cases where junta was linked directly to military dictatorship and fix them.

There were a couple cases where I changed the text to "military coup". There were some more where I thought about it, but I try to avoid text changing when on a disambiguation run.

On to the Spanish uses: Habsburg and Peninsula War are pretty obvious. Many I linked to military junta. I do this with the caveat above, but I recognize that sometimes a government is called a junta which is not a military junta. These should be unlinked, as should most other uses of "junta" and I largely have. Actually, many of these are non-translation or half translation. If the original is "junta de elecciones", then it should appear in Wikipedia as "junta de elecciones" (in italic) or it should be translated as "board of elections" or "electoral commission". Half translations like "electoral junta" are just misleading and should be avoided.

If an article needs to use the word "junta" in its Spanish sense, the article needs to define the term. There's no correct link for it, because it's not an English word. I have not made text changes, but there are many changes that should be made. -- Randall Bart 00:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi I started to disambig junta a few weeks ago and the vast majority of the articles linking to it where about military dictarorships --Barrytalk 04:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

The sports combat article links to Junta - is there a martial art with this name somewhere in the pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.143.197.66 (talk) 19:05, 18 May 2007

Splitting of page
No one is to blame for this, but what has happened here in the last 20 days is that a nearly MoSDab-compliant Dab'n page has been converted into an illegitimate hybrid between a terminology article and a Dab, presumably by editors unaware of the distinction. And that must be remedied -- which should make us all grateful to the alert and diligent user who added the Dab-cleanup tag, because the task is going to be unusually quick and clean, largely bcz there hasn't been a chance for a layer of substantially mixed contributions to accumulate. As it is, i'll be able to (in effect, not mechanics) move the Dab-improving revisions to Junta (disambiguation) and convert Junta into a Dab-free one with the terminology-article premised revisions. I'm declaring the article "in use" to increase the likelihood of my achieving that without disruptions. Your courteous compliance will be appreciated, and exceptions will be reverted without my necessarily feeling any compunctions to be the one who ensures that useful content doesn't get lost as a result. TIA. --Jerzy•t 08:14, 31 May 2008 (UTC) On further inspection, i see that the job of bypassing the Dab has not be kept up to date, and there are (i think) 164 lks to the Dab page, about 90 from the main ("article") namespace. I intend to assign the functions to pages as i described, in the long run, but for now, Junta will be the Dab page, and Junta (terminology) (other suggestions welcome as to the suffix, but no big deal bcz it's temporary) for the article. That should minimize the disruption. --Jerzy•t 08:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC) It's no longer in use; thanks for anyone who was up and forbore editing. There's more to be done before i go away and forget about the two pages, but no reason for me to be so aggressive in taking over control of the article again. --Jerzy•t 10:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Junta (Habsburg)
In my cleanup of the accompanying Dab page, i placed under the heading "Other governance" a replacement for
 * * Junta (Habsburg), an administrative body ruled in personal union with the Spanish Habsburgs

by removing everything but the bullet and link, in accordance with the last-but-two point under WP:MoSDab, which reads
 * The description associated with a link should be kept to a minimum, just sufficient to allow the reader to find the correct link.

An arguably related phrase, with a link to council (a dab page, that does not mention the word "junta") was added (this time before the Junta-(Habsburg) lk), without summary, in the next edit, and i undid that change with the following summary:
 * rem the substance of 2 June 2008 edit by Arcarius: "various administrative councils, such as ..." does not lead to an article for which "junta" would be a reasonable title

(Other MoSDab points would have further justified removal. I presumed that the inability of even a link to an article on the topic of councils, to further disambiguation among the entries, was too obvious to mention in a summary.) 90 minutes later that edit was reverted, avoiding word-for-word and markup-for-markup reversion only by the addition of the word "historical", and again without summary (let alone any message on this talk page or my own). I am about to counter-revert, so in an excess of caution i have explained here far more than should be necessary. --Jerzy•t 04:36, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Devard Darling

Devard Loran Darling (born April 16, 1982) is a former Bahamian-American wide receiver of American football. After playing college football at Florida State University and Washington State, he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round of the 2004 NFL Draft and went on to play for the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans.

Early years
Born in the Bahamas, Darling attended Nassau Christian Academy before relocating to the United States. He attended Stephen F. Austin High School in Sugar Land, Texas and won three varsity letters in football, two in track, and one in basketball. In football, he won All-District honors and was named the 28th best prospect in the state of Texas by SuperPrep.

College career
Darling attended Florida State University until the death of his identical twin brother, Devaughn Darling. After his brother died during practice, due to exhaustion, possibly tied to a sickle cell trait, FSU doctors would not clear him medically to return to the football team. He subsequently transferred to Washington State University, and finished his career with 105 receptions for 1,630 yards (15.7 yards per reception average) and 30 receiving touchdowns.

Baltimore Ravens
Darling was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He signed a three-year contract worth about $1.5 million with the team on July 26, 2004. He was placed on injured reserve on October 29 due to a heel injury. Darling missed most of 2005 and 2006 to injuries as well. He was tendered to a one-year contract worth $850,000 on March 1, 2007. On September 27, he was fined $7,500 by the league for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he received in week 3 after following Yamon Figurs into the stands following a touchdown. He had a breakout game on November 18, 2007 against the Cleveland Browns with four catches for 107 yards and his first NFL touchdown.

Darling had 20 catches for 331 yards and three touchdowns in his career with the Ravens.

Kansas City Chiefs
On March 11, 2008, Darling signed a three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. On September 7, Darling broke free for what looked to be a game-tying touchdown against the New England Patriots, but he was tackled on 5-yard line. Kansas City ended up losing the game. He ultimately would score only one touchdown while with the Chiefs. He was placed on injured reserve on September 1, 2009. He was released by the Chiefs on March 3, 2010.

Omaha Nighthawks
Darling was signed by the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League on September 8, 2010.

Houston Texans
On August 8, 2011, Darling signed with the Houston Texans. He was released on September 3, 2011.

Personal life
Darling is the younger brother of Bahamian track athlete Dennis Darling and the brother-in-law of his wife Tonique Williams-Darling.

Devard's twin brother, Devaughn Darling, died in 2001 due to football practice conditions at Florida State. His family is still waiting for the Florida Legislature to pass a Claims Bill to receive the money they are owed from the settlement with FSU.

Regina Wascana Plains

Regina Wascana Plains is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. At different points in time, this district included the Regina neighbourhoods of University Park, University Park East, Arcola East-South Side, Varsity Park, Wood Meadows, Woodland Grove, Wascana View, Wascana Crescents and Wascana Park. It also includes the town of White City.

The riding was expanded to a mixed urban/rural setup before the 1995 general election, taking in exurban areas generally east of the city, including the towns of White City and Pilot Butte. The riding will be reconfigured back to a strictly urban riding for the next general election; much of the rural territory will be transferred to White City-Qu'appelle.
