On the Messiaen article
I saw what you said when you reverted my edit on the Messiaen article. And sure, I agree with you - but the point of my edit was really to put that sentence at the bottom of that paragraph, as I felt the info it conveyed wasn't as "important" as some of the other info in that paragraph. Because I looked up "Messiaen" and the little Wikipedia blurb Google showed me said: "Olivier Eugène Prosper Charles Messiaen was a French composer, organist, and ornithologist who was one of the major composers of the 20th century. His music is rhythmically complex." And I thought, that's kind of a lame blurb, isn't it? Sure, it's not wrong, but I'm sure he wasn't the only composer whose music was rhythmically complex. And what YOU said seems to agree: "It 'is' complex, but on the whole I would say it's less rhythmically complex than a lot of 20th- and 21st-century music." Meanwhile, Messiaen's modes of limited transposition were something that were a lot more unique to him as a composer. So I thought if, by moving the original sentence to the bottom of the paragraph (if it even really needs to be in there at all, honestly), that Google as a result might instead include the bit about his limited modes of transposition when you look him up.

Guess I just thought I'd let you know my side of things. Hope you'll understand. Benny the Bouncer (talk) 21:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Hello. Thanks for the explanation -- it makes total sense. Now that I understand what you were trying to achieve, I agree with you about the lame ending to that blurb. I thought to myself, "so what would be the most important thing to add there?" My answer was: his importance and influence as a teacher. So I suggested a reorganisation of the lead here in light of that. I'll watch how that affects the Google blurb. I'd be interested to know what you think. Feel free to suggest other improvements! And thanks again. RobertG ♬ talk 15:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, thanks for doing that. Yeah, the bit about him being a teacher totally works, too. Thanks again for understanding. Benny the Bouncer (talk) 00:29, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Crossovers are classic moves from Balboa (dance).

The pattern is back - together - forward with a quick - quick - slow rhythm, or the down-hold rhythm.

Crossovers can be done where both are going to the same side, or they are alternating.

Crossovers also include swivels and fall off the log.

Wrong info
Some one put up the wrong map.. The information doesn't match the map. For example Saudi Arabia is not on the map.203.54.8.50 (talk) 12:29, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Also with regard to Saudi Arabia, the info on when Nando's opened there is incorrect. Nando's was there at least as early as 1998. I dined in a Nando's in Jeddah in 1998. It was located across the street from a very big office supply and book store called Al-Maktaba. Someone should corroborate and change this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:C31F:F3B4:3118:1049:AAC8:C249 (talk) 23:03, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jacint. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jacint~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:45, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Gaussian binomial coefficient

Notation
I have two comments about this page to put up for discussion:
 * First, it seems to me that "Gaussian binomial" is the least used of the many names for these objects. I nominate "Gaussian coefficients."
 * Second, instead of
 * $${m\choose r}_q,$$

I am more used to seeing
 * $$\begin{bmatrix}n\\k\end{bmatrix}_q.$$

Would there be any objections to making these changes?

 * Well, the reason for both the name and the notation, is to parallel binomial coefficient. The new square braket notation will remove this analogy, which is probably not good. Oleg Alexandrov 17:52, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree that the parallel to binomial coefficients would be nice, if that were indeed the way people wrote these things. It's just that that's not how I've seen it done. Vince Vatter 18:13, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * You would need to contact the main author of this then --> Linas. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov 18:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

In addition to the above notations, I have also seen just plain old
 * $$\begin{bmatrix}n\\k\end{bmatrix}$$

(without the subscript q), and also a version of
 * $${m\choose r}$$

where all the symbols (including the outer parentheses) are in bold. (The latter is what Stanley uses in Enumerative Combinatorics). I don't know how to get bolded parentheses in latex (let alone texvc). I think all are acceptable; I don't know which is the most common. Dmharvey Talk 1 July 2005 13:20 (UTC)

 * The version with square brackets seems inferior to me, in particular when also dropping the q (and what if one wants another indeterminate?), notably in view of the notation for the unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind with which it conflicts (don't know right now whether those have a universally accepted q-analog, but one had better not get in the way in case some day they do). Actually I don't see any reason to use square brackets that nobody uses for binomial coefficients,it certainly does not stress the analogy. Marc van Leeuwen (talk) 09:04, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Some arguments in favor of the q-notation can be found in Knuth's paper Two notes on notation, arxiv:math/9205211v1, together with some historical background and overview. 141.2.26.29 (talk) 14:41, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

conventions for out-of-range inputs?
What are the conventions for the definition of
 * $${m \choose r}_q$$

when r < 0 or r > m? Is it then zero, similarly to the ordinary binomial coefficient situation? Dmharvey Talk 1 July 2005 13:24 (UTC)

Move to Gaussian binomial coefficient
I agree entirely with the above comment that the name of this article is not appropriate. A quick Google scholar search tell me that "Gaussian binomial" is alwas followed by "coefficient". Indeed it is absurd to call this a binomial, since it almost never has two terms. Since in five years time nobody really contested the criticism, I will move this article to "Gaussian binomial coefficient", and adapt the text accordingly. Of course "Gaussian coefficient" and "q-binomial coefficient" are also often found. Ironically, the main problem with Gaussian coefficients seems to be that there is no obvious q-binomial theorem in which they appear as coefficients. There is such a formula form their "multiset number" analogs
 * $$\left(\!\!\binom nk\!\!\right)_q=\binom{n+k-1}k_q,$$

namely
 * $$\sum_{k\in\N}\left(\!\!\binom nk\!\!\right)_qX^k=\prod_{0\leq i<n}\frac1{1-q^iX}.$$

Since to my surprise I have not found this formula stated anywhere clearly, I'll leave it out of the article as per WP:NOR, but surely a more decent search should easily locate this fact somewhere. Marc van Leeuwen (talk) 08:58, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Oops, I admit to not reading this article carefully, the formula is there. Marc van Leeuwen (talk) 09:28, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Source for the name?
I have been unable to find a source for the name "Gaussian" for these coefficients. (I admit to not having looked very far.) It would be good to include this somewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.89.14.247 (talk) 15:51, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

You can get many references by searching for "Gaussian coefficients", like this reference. Or you can go for "Gaussian binomial coefficients" like this book. Marc van Leeuwen (talk) 15:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Best name for article
In reading I've often seen "Gaussian coefficient", also "q-binomial" and "q-Gaussian", and never "Gaussian binomial coefficient". The title of the article should be "q-Binomial coefficient", as the most commonly used name, or "Gaussian coeffieient" as the runner up. I bring this question up for consideration.

I say most common based on a survey of MathSciNet reviews from 2000-1015. I found 9 reviews that contain "Gaussian binomial coefficient", 16 that contain "Gaussian coefficient" (after excluding about 18 where "Gaussian coefficient" means a random variable with Gaussian distribution) or "q-Gaussian coefficient", > 100 "q-binomial", a few "Gaussian q-binomial". Fairly often, two names are mentioned; this shows me that no one name is dominant. Zaslav (talk) 02:29, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I agree. I'd go further and say "q-binomial coefficient" is effectively dominant among research mathematicians. Stanley's EC1 also uses it as the primary name, which counts for a lot in my book. Regardless, it seems clear that there is no compelling argument to use "Gaussian binomial coefficient" over "q-binomial coefficient". As far as I can tell, this was named "Gaussian binomial coefficient" when it was just a stub and that sub-par name has stuck around for years. 50.132.4.93 (talk) 06:40, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Yes, move to q-binomial coefficient as the proper name, per above. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 22:35, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

 * this is a bit late but cant you just look at the result? It says if its a victory or a loss there. Dencoolast33 (talk) 09:59, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

We should delete wars were swedish soldiers dident see any engagement in warfare
Yes, i know that the article is called "list of wars involving sweden" and not "list of wars militarly involving sweden" but id argue that it isent called "list of wars militarly involving sweden" just for the sake of having a simplistic title.

If we would include wars were only swedish volunteers fought we would have an unreadable article. There is a reason why "List of wars involving great britan" doesent include wars were they playd a supporting role cuase that article is already very long and it would become 5x larger if they did so. And if we are fine including The vietnam war and the schleswig wars we should also have no problem with including the American civil war, WW2 and the Dirty war were swedish voluteers fought aswell.

This is a pretty weird metaphor but it serves its purpose:

A football player is sick before his match and is unable to come and play. But while at home he tweets out something supportive about the team before the match, wich gave the ohter players a bit of motivation and determenation.

Would you then consider player A apart of the match? Yes, he supported them, they wouldve been a bit worse off if it wasent for him but you wouldent hear someone say "thats my favorit match with player A involved". Dencoolast33 (talk) 09:11, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Not many wars on this fit the example you made, but things like the Vietnam War do, which could be removed for such a reason. However, a nation does not have to directly participate in battles during a war for them to be involved. Gvssy (talk) 19:20, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The swedish goverment has stated that it is on the side of Israel in the Israeli-Hamas war, should that war be included in the list then? No? Then why is Vietnam on the list?
 * "However, a nation does not have to directly participate in battles during a war for them to be involved.", okay, lets include every war that has happened since atleast 1930, cuase sweden have probably been more sympathetic towards one side in every war since then, thereby "supporting one side".
 * We need to draw a line between just supporting one side and engaging in warfare, otherwise you risk being hypocritical if you have a problem with me adding the Dirty War to the list.
 * "Not many wars on this fit the example you made" I dont now what your point is there, most of the wars would remain on the list. My points were: We should not include wars were only volunteers fought and we should not include articles were sweden just played a supportive role. Could you please give an example of a war that would be removed if we only included wars that fit into my criterias(not including The vietnam wars, schleswig etc for obvios reasons)? Dencoolast33 (talk) 22:46, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * No, the current conflict between Israel and Palestine should not be added to the list, this is because the only thing Sweden has provided so far (as far as I know) is diplomatic support, in for example the Schleswig wars, Sweden was more directly involved, providing both Military and Diplomatic support in the first one, and diplomatic support in the second.
 * I have also never objected to adding the Dirty War to the list, but the WIkipedia article itself doesn't speak of any Swedish involvement, except that Swedish citizens were victims of it. I'm not sure what you meant with "lets include every war that has happened since atleast 1930" I have never claimed that only political support should warrant being on the list, If you thought I agreed with the Vietnam War being on the list, you're wrong, I don't.
 * In addition, there aren't many wars that break your criteria, those being that wars where Sweden only sent volunteers or played a supportive role, all of them had legitimate Swedish involvement, as far as I can tell. Gvssy (talk) 23:13, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * "there aren't many wars that break your criteria, those being that wars where Sweden only sent volunteers or played a supportive role, all of them had legitimate Swedish involvement, as far as I can tell.", yes but only diplomatic support, and you failed to provide an example of a war that dident break the criteria.
 * "lets include every war that has happened since atleast 1930", when i said that it wasent really directed to you, more to those that wished for the vietnam war to stay. Since Sweden has probably had an opinion on every war since the 30s, and thereby "supporting" one side, and if the vietnam war is allowed to stay why wont we add all of the wars since then?
 * "I have also never objected to adding the Dirty War to the list" this also strengthens, why cant include every war were one swedish volunteer fought (Svante Grände).
 * I only want a few wars removed, wich are the following: Second schleswig war (only volunteers fought), Gulf war (we only had up A medical tent), Vietnam war and maybe the seventh coalition (i havent found any sources stating that sweden fought there let alone declared war). I hope you agree with me! Dencoolast33 (talk) 10:37, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * We maybe should change the title to list of wars militarly involving sweden Dencoolast33 (talk) 10:39, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The likely reason behind not being able to add the Dirty War is because the volunteer you linked didn't fight on behalf of Sweden, but on behalf of another organization. I do agree that things such as the Vietnam War, and Gulf War could be removed, or added to a new heading for similiar wars.
 * Changing the title might work too, I feel like it's a big change since every other article regarding other nations on their wars don't have this, but I won't really stop you.
 * Regarding the Seventh Coalition War, you're right, Sweden played absolutely no part in this war, atleast not one that warrants being included as a belligerent, Sweden had its last official war in 1814, so I agree that this should be removed.
 * I think the Second Schleswig war should still be included, since the volunteers were technically sent there by the Swedish state, thereby making Sweden an indirect combatant. Gvssy (talk) 11:05, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I appretiate you argumenting with me.
 * "The likely reason behind not being able to add the Dirty War is because the volunteer you linked didn't fight on behalf of Sweden, but on behalf of another organization." that is the definition of a volunteer, everything else isent, i agree with you there.
 * Im happy that we could reach a common ground, but i still think we should remove the second schleswig war. You said:
 * "i think the Second Schleswig war should still be included, since the volunteers were technically sent there by the Swedish state, thereby making Sweden an indirect combatant."
 * They werent really sent by the goverment, the goverment just gave them permission to go (wich is common). As you said, wars were voluteers are fighting for the behalf of a country other than sweden should not be included. Dencoolast33 (talk) 11:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you're right, I'm not sure I know enough about many conflicts after the 1810s, I won't do anything if you decide that removing the Second Schleswig War and the Vietnam War is needed, but it might be reverted by other people.
 * But, other than those two wars there aren't many others I can think of that should also be removed from the list. Gvssy (talk) 12:28, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it isent a huge edit. Ill remove the wars and the bar atop of the article. Dencoolast33 (talk) 14:39, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Some of the resluts are too long
Especially in the first part of the article, the results are so long that they could be their own section of a wikipedia article.

 * I am glad that we could find common ground. Do you think just changing the results to Victory, defeat, etc is enough? Dencoolast33 (talk) 19:17, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit on List of wars involving Sweden
[Moved from my user talk page --T*U (talk) 15:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC)]

I was wondering if i could revert you latest revision on the list of swedish war page. Your reasoning for the removal of Capture of Manuel Briones was that it does not count as a war. But i think that the article has evolved passed that, the Invasion of Åland, First Schleswig War, Swedish volunteers in Persia and all of the UN-peacekeeping missions were not Swedish wars either. Dencoolast33 (talk) 14:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * But at least most of them are wars. I can honestly not see that the hunting down of a pirate has anything at all to do in a list of wars. If anything, there are other entries in the list that well might be removed, but this addition is just ridiculous. --T*U (talk) 15:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

I've removed various entries in which Varangian mercenaries or Varangian viking raiders were involved in various battles that had nothing to do with the Kingdom of Sweden or Swedish monarchy. Just because the Varangians were most probably originally of Swedish descent doesn't mean anything they did automatically received a stamp of approval from the royal court in Uppsala. NLeeuw (talk) 09:49, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

 * I would also seriously caution against using WP:PRIMARY sources such as Icelandic sagas and Rus' chronicles at face value, especially if no other type of contemporary source confirms it, and modern scholars do not regard them as reliable. NLeeuw (talk) 09:52, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Changing design
@TylerBurden @Dencoolast33 Hello, I'm pinging you two to ask if either of you would have any issues with me changing this article to appear more like the List of wars involving Denmark article, it seems to me that the design there is widely used on other articles, and to be frank, the one on this article looks terrible. Gvssy (talk) 19:32, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Sure! I do not have any problems with your proposal, we cant let the Danes have a prettier article after all. Dencoolast33 (talk) 05:08, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gvssy Why not, you seem to be correct about this one sticking out in terms of consistency with the other lists, so go ahead. TylerBurden (talk) 19:44, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Scanian War styled as swedish victory.
I do not agree with the Scanian war being styled as a Swedish victory on this page. It is not mentioned as a Swedish victory in the Scanian war article, and historians often agree upon the Scanian war being a stalemate. E4t5s.new (talk) 13:03, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Then change the result here to a stalemate Gvssy (talk) 13:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Note on medieval Muslim flags
Please do not add flags to the medieval Muslim states in al-Andalus and North Africa, unless they are in still in use at their corresponding main articles. I'm still not sure yet about the Nasrids of Granada, but the flags for the earlier Andalusi states (Emirate of Córdoba, Taifas, etc) and all the pre-modern "Moroccan" or North African states (Almoravids, Almohads, Marinids, Saadis, etc) are all unsourced, based on unreliable sources, or (in the Almohad case) disputed and problematic. See talk page discussions here and here, among others, which resulted in the removal of these flags from the relevant main articles a while ago, for those reasons. Many others have never been accepted and have been repeatedly removed from other articles. In short, we don't know what the flags of these pre-modern states looked like, if indeed they had standard flags at all. I recommend being cautious about flags of other medieval African and Middle Eastern states too; many of the supposed flags in Commons are pure fiction or WP:OR.

redirect
Shouldn't 'Japanese Army' redirect to the page about the current army of Japan? And shouldn't this page also have a link somewhere to the page of the modern Japanese Army?
 * I've redirected "Japanese Army" to Military of Japan which includes links to both this article and to Japan Self-Defense Forces, Japan's modern equivalent to a military force. I'll add a brief description and link to "Japan Self-Defense Forces" in this article as well.--Cab88 01:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

So which is it?
The article states that "The Imperial Japanese Army was initially developed with the assistance of American (post Civil War), then French and finally by German advisors (post Franco-Prussian War)...". The first time I heard of American advisors was in the Last Samurai movie and I was under the impression that was a problem with the authenticity of the movie (hey its Holywood and a marketing problem). The article "Modernization of Japanese Military 1868-1931" states "The modernization of the Japanese army and navy during the Meiji period (1868-1912) and until the Mukden Incident (1931) was carried out by the newly founded national government, a military leadership that was only responsible to the Emperor and the help of French, English and Prussian military advisors." Any sources regarding the American involvement. At the moment the two articles are not consistant and should be fixed either way. Does anyone know for sure of the initial American involvement. I understood the main reason for switching to the German model from the French was the availability of translators.Peter Rehse 06:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree. I personnally do not know of sources on early American military involvement beyond the exceptional early sale of a (French-made) warship such as the Kotetsu in 1869. PHG 08:34, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I do not have any sources on American involvement in the formation of the Japanese military, but I will state that taking into consideration the very common Japanese pattern in the 1866-1910 period of hiring foreigners -- englishmen, americans, dutch, germans, et cetera -- to pump them for their knowledge and expertise when setting up modern installments, it's not at all unlikely that there were some American military experts involved in one capacity or another.

I find it hard to believe wikipedia users would find casualty pictures acceptable on a page about the military of the United States.

I am puzzled as to why 2 brutal images of fallen Japanese soldiers is appropriate here.

and replaced. I think this is a valid point, is an image of a man with his face shot off really suitable for a encyclopedia? Would an image of a dead american be tolerated on the US Army page? Would this image be suitable for viewing by a child? I think the answer to all three of these questions is no. Chris1012 —Preceding comment was added at 19:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
I've re-assessed this article as a Start class article for the Military History project as it does not meet the project's criteria for referencing. (Please note the project does not use C class as a rating, so if it is not a B then it must be a C). For a Mil hist B class rating, as a general rule an article requires at least one in-line citation per paragraph, or more if multiple sources are used for a paragraph or multiple contestable points are made (e.g. values, dates, analysis, etc.). I've added a few citations in where I have a source, but only have one book, so if others want to try work on the article adding citations, hopefully it can be built up to a B class. If you wish for a re-assessment, this can be requested at WP:MHA. If you wish for a more in depth review, you might consider a peer view. Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 03:17, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Non-Japanese
I think that this article should include information about non-Japanese (Filipinos, Koreans, Manchurians, Taiwanese) people who served in the Japanese Army during WW2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.69.149.234 (talk) 04:28, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Final Paragraph Under fanaticism and war crimes is unclear in several places
I would like to raise several points of ambiguity for discussion. I have refrained from making any changes until I see if there is some consensus on what the paragraph is actually trying to say.

"The reputation of Imperial Army troops during the Pacific War of never surrendering is borne out by the extremely small number captured throughout the entire Pacific campaign compared with their opponents (80,000 British and Commonwealth prisoners were captured at Singapore alone). While the numbers are small by comparison to the European Theatre, in the South West Pacific Area (SWPA) just over 1,000 surrendered in each of 1942 and 1943, around 5,100 in 1944, and over 12,000 in 1945,[17] and might have been greater except for American shooting of prisoners.[18]"

1.) Exactly what numbers are small by comparison to the European Theatre, the numbers of prisoners or the numbers of combatants engaged and how is that relevant to the issue being discussed?

2.) While I won't dispute that there are documented instances of American shooting prisoners nor will I dispute that the absolute numbers of captured Japanese personnel would have been higher without them.  I question whether the difference would be significant enough to significantly affect the comparison being made (that of the 80,000 british and commonweath prisoners captured at singapore alone being nearly four times greater than the number of Japanese personnel captured during the entire war) as the statement seems to imply.  If not then it is a best an unnecessary qualification.

"The effect of psychological warfare was noticeable (about 20% of surrenders were directly due to it, and many more were influenced),[19] amounting to about one POW for every 6,000 leaflets dropped,[20] while the Japanese objected to the "unscrupulous" leaflets,[21] which expressly contained nothing but the truth.[22] This was in stark contrast to IJA's practice of circulating false stories,[15] which leaflets revealed to be false[15] when Army efforts to black out news left the leaflets as the only source of any news.[23]"

3.) Whose psychological warfare?  The effect of psychological warfare on what?  I propose (assuming my interpretation of the author's intent was correct that the sentence should read something like this: "The effect of American psychological warfare on the numbers of surrendering Japanese troops was noticeable..." Buckfan328 (talk) 22:29, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I've rewritten the paragraph because it contradicts itself. Propaganda leaflet drops being effective versus low numbers of prisoners taken; can't have both. I have reservations also of exclusive single-source attribution to print references (Dower, Gilmore) from the non-Japanese standpoint with regards to this topic. Actually, the entire section is crap, but I'm leery of touching it further at this time because it promises nationalist edit war if it's not done right. I'll return to this article when time permits. Jun Kayama (talk) 07:39, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Atrocities of Imperial Japanese Army
There should be a section dedidicated to war atrocities of Imperial Japanese Army. The IJA is notorious for committing hideous crimes again humanity.

More informational and less sensational, please
Although there are details of several campaigns and other such actions by the Japanese military, there is not very much in the article about how the Japanese military was actually organized. Although I understand it is a tall order, I'd like to suggest that someone with expertise on the matter goes over this article and writes something which is a little bit more informational and a bit less sensational.

War crimes of the Japanese Army.
Are the Nanking Massacre, human experimentation by Japan's Unit 731 and the issue of comfort women in Korea by the Japanese military really true? The US Congressional Research Service examined these evidences and found that they could not be substantiated by official documents. It is clear that the investigation conducted by the US government did not uncover a single US government or military document to support claims of war crimes or 'systematic enslavement of women' involving Japanese comfort women. 118.149.85.80 (talk) 23:15, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Gatineau (federal electoral district)

Gatineau is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, represented in the House of Commons of Canada from since 1949. Between 1987 and 1996, it was known as "Gatineau—La Lièvre".

It consists of part of the former city of Gatineau, Quebec as defined by its pre-2002 boundaries.

The adjacent ridings are Hull—Aylmer, Pontiac, Ottawa—Orléans, and Ottawa—Vanier.

Demographics
According to the 2021 Canadian census

Ethnic groups: 81.8% White, 6.8% Black, 4.4% Indigenous, 3.4% Arab, 1.6% Latin American

Languages: 80.1% French, 6.7% English, 2.5% Arabic, 1.6% Spanish

Religions: 67.6% Christian (55.6% Catholic, 12.0% Other), 3.3% Muslim, 28.3% None

Median income: $45,600 (2020)

Average income: $51,550 (2020)

History
The district was created in 1947 from parts of Hull and Wright ridings. In 1987, it was renamed to Chapleau, and then to Gatineau—La Lièvre in 1988. It was renamed back to "Gatineau" in 1996.

Gatineau lost territory to Pontiac during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

Members of Parliament
This riding has elected the following members of Parliament:

Assad represented Gatineau—La Lièvre from 1988 to 1997 which was known as Chapleau from 1987 to 1988. This district had similar borders to Gatineau.

Politics
Like most ridings in the Outaouais, Gatineau had long been safe for the Liberals, save for a lone Progressive Conservative victory in their 1984 nationwide landslide. Even as the rest of Quebec turned its back on the Liberals, a large number of civil servants who worked in Ottawa kept it in Liberal hands.

However, in the 2006 election the Bloc Québécois won the seat. The Bloc managed to hold the seat with just over 29% of the vote in 2008, by far the lowest percentage for a winning candidate nationwide, due to a near-three-way split between themselves, the New Democratic Party and the Liberals. The riding was swept up in the massive NDP wave that swept through the province in the 2011 election.

In the 2015 election, Liberal candidate Steve MacKinnon, running a second time, defeated NDP incumbent Françoise Boivin in an upset with an almost 40-point swing.

1997–present

Note: Conservative vote is compared to the total of the Canadian Alliance vote and Progressive Conservative vote in the 2000 election.

Antony William de Ávila Charris (born December 21, 1962) is a Colombian former soccer striker nicknamed El Pitufo ("The Smurf"), who last played for América de Cali.

Club career
De Ávila began his career with América de Cali in his native Colombia in 1982. He spent the majority of his career with the club, winning seven league titles with América, including five in a row from 1982 to 1986. His 25 goals for América in the 1990 season led all scorers in the Colombian top flight. His time with América also led him to be runner-up in the Copa Libertadores on three occasions in 1985, 1986, and 1996.

De Ávila also spent time abroad, playing for Unión de Santa Fe of Argentina in between spells with América, the MetroStars of Major League Soccer, and Barcelona SC of Ecuador.

De Ávila's MLS career spanned a season and a half, as he joined the Metros midway through the 1996 season as a replacement for colossal disappointment Rubén Darío Hernández. With the club playing on AstroTurf for parts of the season, El Pitufo was surprisingly adept at what was called "ping-pong soccer". He scored 15 goals and added 11 assists in his time in the league, plus another two goals and an assist in the playoffs.

In 1997, De Ávila left the MLS and moved to Ecuador to play for Barcelona de Ecuador. With the club, he reached another Copa Libertadores final but again failed to win, becoming the only player to have lost five Libertadores finals.

De Ávila retired in 1999, but returned to competitive football at the age of 46 with América de Cali, eventually finishing his career with a club record 208 goals.

His 29 goals in the Copa Libertadores ranked him sixth highest scorer in the history of the tournament.

International career
De Ávila made his senior debut on 26 July 1983. He went on to score 13 goals in 54 appearances for the Colombia national team between 1983 and 1998. He represented his country at two World Cups, in 1994 and 1998 respectively.

Personal life
Nicknamed El Pitufo ("The Smurf") or El Pipa, he was known as much for his short height of 1.57m (5 ft 3 in) as for his goal-scoring prowess. After retiring, de Ávila bought a farm and he was still living there as of 2020.

Royal Oak station (SkyTrain)

Royal Oak is an elevated station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located at the intersection of Beresford Street and Royal Oak Avenue in Burnaby, British Columbia, a short walk south of Kingsway and Imperial Avenue.

History
Royal Oak station was opened in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). The Austrian architecture firm Architektengruppe U-Bahn was responsible for designing the station.

In 2002, Millennium Line service was introduced to the station, which provided outbound service to VCC–Clark station (originally Commercial–Broadway) via Columbia station in New Westminster. This service was discontinued and replaced with an Expo Line branch to Production Way–University station in 2016.

Entrances
Royal Oak is served by a single entrance located on the south side of the station at the corner of Beresford Street and Royal Oak Avenue. An elevator is available however there is no escalator to the platform level.

Transit connections

Talk:Far North Line

List of stations sidebar
Okay, I don't want to start an edit war - but I fail to see the need for the box. We are never going to have pages about each individual station on the line. If there are notable facts about the stations, then they can be included in this page or the page about the town/village. I mean, they're not King's Cross Station. Maccoinnich 17:58, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * I restored the sidebar giving the list of stations on the route, as many of the lines described in Category:British railway lines now have them. This will give anyone in the future who may wish to write an article on a particular station the chance to do so. To include the information about a given station in the article about the route goes against the many articles in Category:British railway stations. Since there is now a list of the towns served by the Far North Line, I do not see the problem with having the station sidebar - it isn't doing any harm, and provides a useful link should anyone wish to create an article on a particular station. (Our Phellap 23:13, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC))

 * I've replaced the sidebar again - even if we don't have a page about the individual stations I think having the overview is useful. I've taken out most of the links, only leaving what I feel to be important stations (Inverness, Dingwall (as the line splits), and three three most northerly stations in Scotland) - put them back in. Incidentally, on Firefox both on Win2k and Linux I've never noticed the sidebar and BritishMainLines box overlapping as in the edit history - not sure if that's a browser rendering problem but the markup seems ok... edd 20:55, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Huh. I just checked on Firefox, and sure enough, they don't overlap.  But they do in Safari (what I use) and IE for Mac.  Anyway, it's a moot point as on the current version, the infobox and the britishmainlines template are far enough apart.  Anyway, it's a good compromise as it is now.

Service operators
"Train services on the line are operated by First ScotRail": I guess this should read "Passenger services on the line are operated by First ScotRail". Laurel Bush 10:45, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC).

Lines meeting at Inverness
I am wondering which lines meet at Inverness. The Far North Line (and the Kyle of Lochalsh Line), the Highland Main Line, and what? Laurel Bush 09:54, 19 July 2005 (UTC).

 * There is also the Aberdeen to Inverness Line. Our Phellap 13:38, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I was hoping it might not be a yet to be writen article. Laurel Bush 15:08, 19 July 2005 (UTC).

Black Isle Line link
I note use of  former Black Isle Line . The Black Isle article, however, seems to say nothing about the line. Laurel Bush 16:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

 * I suggest that the more appropriate location of the Black Isle line (and the Dornoch branch line) will be in the articles associated with the historic railways that made up the Far North Line. --Stewart 17:37, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Links in the list are generally to articles about stations and branch lines, rather than places served. I have made the Black Isle Line reference consistent with this pattern, by creating a protolink. Laurel Bush 09:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

Dates
Section headings give passenger operators as Scotrail 1995-2008; First Scotrail 2005-date. This implies that both were involved 2005-08. Correct or a mistake? 86.132.136.80 (talk) 14:12, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Error in section heading - dates now corrected. --Stewart (talk)  14:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Jellicoe's Express
I have temporarily removed the claim about Jellicoe's Express. I hate putting "citation needed" in the face of articles.

The "Jellicoes" in WWI were coal trains and they didn't run from Euston! I'm working on expansion of the history of the Far North Line -- it will take me a few weeks yet -- and when I have done I will insert a properly cited statement. Afterbrunel (talk) 15:48, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Mostly north of Dingwall
The intro says "The line has many sections of single track, mostly north of Dingwall."

Not sure what this is meant to exaplain. Afterbrunel (talk) 16:37, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you were just trying to experiment, then use the sandbox instead. Thank you. jni 18:00, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
