Dick McGuire

Richard Joseph McGuire (January 26, 1926 – February 3, 2010) was an American professional basketball player and coach. McGuire was one of the premier guards of the 1950s, playing 11 seasons in the NBA (1949–60), eight with the New York Knicks and three with the Detroit Pistons. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993. His number 15 jersey was retired by the Knicks in 1992.

McGuire led the league in assists during his rookie season with a then-record 386 assists, and was among the league's top ten playmakers for ten of his 11 seasons. He was an NBA All-Star seven times (1951,'52, '54-'56, '58, '59), and was named to the All-NBA Second Team in 1951. Dave Cobert portrayed him in the 2023 movie Sweetwater.

McGuire became player-coach for the Pistons in his last season (1959–60), and coached them until 1963. He also coached the Knicks for three seasons, beginning in 1965. He compiled a 197-260 coaching record. McGuire was working as a senior consultant for the Knicks when he died on February 3, 2010, of a ruptured aortic aneurysm at age 84.

McGuire's brother Al was also a prominent figure in basketball who coached Marquette University to the 1977 NCAA basketball championship. They are the only pair of brothers inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. His nephew, Allie, also played in the NBA.

The Knicks retired number 15 a second time for McGuire in 1992 (six years earlier, it had been retired for Earl Monroe).

McGuire was inducted into the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame on Long Island in the Basketball Category with the Class of 1994.

Romford (UK Parliament constituency)

Romford is a constituency in Greater London represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2001 by Andrew Rosindell, a Conservative.

It was created in 1885 and was subject to significant changes in boundaries in 1918 and 1945. It initially covered a huge swathe of what is now East London, with parts of the constituency progressively removed as they experienced significant increases in population as London expanded. The constituency has more or less coincided with the town of Romford since 1955.

Historic
1885–1918: The Liberty of Havering-atte-Bower, and part of the Sessional Division of Becontree.

1918–1945: The Urban Districts of Barking and Romford, and the Rural District of Romford.

1945–1950: The Borough of Romford.

1950–1955: The Borough of Romford, and the Urban District of Brentwood.

1955–1974: The Borough of Romford.

1974–1983: The London Borough of Havering wards of Bedfords, Central, Collier Row, Gidea Park, Heath Park, Mawney, and Oldchurch.

1983–1997: The London Borough of Havering wards of Brooklands, Chase Cross, Collier Row, Gidea Park, Heath Park, Mawney, Oldchurch, Rise Park, and St Edward's.

1997–2010: The London Borough of Havering wards of Ardleigh Green, Brooklands, Chase Cross, Collier Row, Gidea Park, Heath Park, Mawney, Oldchurch, Rise Park, and St Edward's.

2010–2024: The London Borough of Havering wards of Brooklands, Havering Park, Hylands, Mawneys, Pettits, Romford Town, and Squirrel's Heath.

NB: Contents, but not the boundaries of the constituency, were changed as a result of a local government boundary review which came into effect in May 2022.

Current
Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, 2023, the composition of the constituency from the 2024 general election will be expanded slightly to include parts of the Emerson Park ward (as it existed on 1 December 2020), primarily that part of polling district EM2 to the west of the River Ravensbourne.

Following this minor change, as well as reflecting the 2022 local government review, the constituency now comprises the following wards of the London Borough of Havering from the 2024 general election:

 * Havering-atte-Bower; Hylands and Harrow Lodge; Marshalls and Rise Park; Mawneys; Rush Green and Crowlands; St Alban's; St Edwards; Squirrel's Heath.

History
This seat was created in the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. It included the civil parishes of Havering-atte-Bower, Hornchurch and Romford which together formed the Liberty of Havering-atte-Bower, combined with Barking (including Great Ilford), Dagenham, East Ham, Little Ilford and Wanstead. The 1918 revision removed the populous county borough of East Ham (including Little Ilford) and the municipal borough of Ilford. Wanstead became part of the Epping constituency. The parishes of Cranham, Great Warley and Upminster were gained from Chelmsford and Rainham and Wennington were gained from South East Essex. The Romford constituency then comprised the parishes of Barking, Cranham, Dagenham, Great Warley, Havering-atte-Bower, Hornchurch, Noak Hill, Rainham, Romford, Upminster and Wennington.

At the 1935 general election there were 167,939 people registered to vote, making Romford the largest constituency in the country. By 1939 this had risen to 207,101, although Hendon had become larger. The House of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1944 caused the constituency to be divided. The revised boundary coincided with the municipal borough of Romford, which had been enlarged in the 1930s to include Havering-atte-Bower and Noak Hill. The Brentwood Urban District, which had been expanded in the 1930s to include Hutton, Ingrave and South Weald, was included in the constituency from 1950 to 1955. Harold Hill was removed from the constituency in 1974. The constituency shared boundaries with the Romford electoral division for election of councillors to the Greater London Council at elections in 1973, 1977 and 1981. Subsequent boundary revisions have been relatively minor, with Ardleigh Green gained from Upminster in 1997 and Hylands gained from Hornchurch in 2010.

Constituency profile
The constituency created in 1885 covered a large swathe of what became East London. The population of East Ham, which included Thameside docks and industry, increased from 9,713 in 1881 to 133,487 in 1911. Ilford, a prosperous railway suburb further from London, went from a population of 7,645 in 1881 to 78,188 in 1911. The 1918 revision removed these urbanised places, replacing them with the rural parishes of Cranham (population 489 in 1911), Wennington (364) and the semi-rural Great Warley (2,051), Rainham (1,972) and Upminster (2,468). It was now a much more sparsely populated constituency, aside from the ancient market towns of Barking (31,294) and Romford (16,970) and the pre-First World War housing estates at Emerson Park, Romford Garden Suburb and Upminster Garden Suburb.

During the interwar period the large London County Council estate at Becontree was constructed with around 23,000 homes in the parishes of Barking and Dagenham. The Thameside part of the constituency was industrial and included the Ford Dagenham plant. There was suburban housing growth in most parishes, including some large estates such as Elm Park Garden City. Barking, Dagenham and Romford were incorporated as boroughs and rural parishes had been eliminated by 1934.

The 1945 revision left the constituency with the town of Romford, the Collier Row and Gidea Park suburbs and the more rural Havering-atte-Bower and Noak Hill. The inclusion of Brentwood Urban District in the constituency between 1950 and 1955 added the town of Brentwood and its rural hinterland. Romford Borough Council built post-Second World War estates at Collier Row, Chase Cross and Rise Park. Another large London County Council estate of 25,000 homes was constructed at Harold Hill and completed in 1958. The constituency became part of the London Borough of Havering in Greater London in 1965. The 1974 revision removed the Harold Hill estate from the constituency. The addition of Ardleigh Green in 1997 and Hylands in 2010 further expanded the interwar suburban part of the constituency.

The 2020 mid-year population estimate for the constituency was 107,064.

Members of Parliament
Although Romford has been highly marginal in terms of majorities obtained through much of the 20th century, its boundaries have changed significantly. It has been Conservative since the February 1974 general election, except for the 1997 landslide. It was one of the few Conservative gains in 2001 with increasingly safe majorities since. The 2015 result made the seat the 157th safest of the Conservative Party's 331 seats by percentage of majority.

Elections in the 1890s

 * Caused by Wigram's resignation

 * Caused by Theobald's death

The Haven, Boston

The Haven is the tidal river of the port of Boston, Lincolnshire in England. It provides access for shipping between Boston Deeps in The Wash and the town, particularly, the dock. It also serves as the outfall into the sea, of the River Witham and of several major land drains of the northern Fens of eastern England, which are known collectively as the Witham Navigable Drains. .

Physical and economic development
The English settlers who arrived in The Wash, found tidal creeks which gave them entry to the habitable belt of land, inland from the salt-marshes. These creeks, they called "havens". There was a route inland from The Haven, with which this article deals, on which Boston later developed, to the upland of Lindsey. However, the port of Boston did not develop until after natural events had diverted the River Witham into The Haven during the eleventh century.

Simultaneously, this took the river away from Drayton, which had become the successor port of Swineshead as its estuary accumulated silt. The Swin had been to Swineshead what the Zwin was to Bruges but after the loss of the Witham, Bicker became more important than Drayton so its estuary became known as Bicker Haven.

At the time of the Domesday Book (1086), the accounting for Boston was still done under the heading of the manors of Drayton but the wealth of Drayton's holdings, as recorded in the Domesday Book, in Skirbeck makes the presence of a working port at Boston, which then lay in Skirbeck, near certain.

Before The Witham broke into it, The Haven's head was in the area which subsequently became the Market Place. The likely date for the switch of the Witham from Drayton to The Haven is 1014, the date recorded by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as one of unprecedented sea floods. There was another serious flood, later in the century but that came after 1086.

Subsequently, Boston and its Haven became busy with trade as wool was brought into the town for export, particularly to Flanders.

Modern port
Nowadays, the activity has moved below the old centre of the town. The fishing fleet moors below the railway bridge and trading vessels lie either in tidal berths beside the dock where there are facilities for handling scrap steel or in the dock itself where there are facilities for handling paper, steel coil and grain as well as timber and general cargo, including containers.

Boston Barrier
Historically, Boston has been affected by tidal flooding, caused by tidal surges passing up The Haven from the Wash. Flooding from this cause was particularly severe in 1953 and 1978. Following the creation of a new tidal lock in 2008 to allow boats to enter the South Forty-Foot Drain from the Haven, phase 1b of the project to create a navigable waterway between Boston and Spalding involved the construction of the Boston Barrier. As well as being part of wider flood defence works, this would allow boats to pass through Boston town centre to access the South Forty Foot Drain at most states of the tide. At the time, it was expected that work would be completed by 2013, but work did not start, and serious flooding occurred again in 2013, when over 800 homes and 79 businesses were inundated. Following a public enquiry in 2017, a £100 million project to build the barrier and associated flood defence works on both sides of the river, including widening the access to the Port of Boston wet dock, was awarded by the Environment Agency to the civil engineers BMMJV, a joint venture consisting of BAM Nuttall and Mott MacDonald.

The main components of the scheme were a rising sector gate, 85 ft wide by 36 ft high, which can be raised to prevent tidal surges moving further upstream, and a vertical sector gate, 59 ft wide by 38 ft high, to control the entrance to the wet dock. The rising sector gate weighs 362 tonnes and is moved by two 55-tonne hydraulic rams. The scheme also included a control building for the barrier, higher flood defence walls along the river, including landscaping of the right bank, and the placing of matting on the bed of the river either side of the barrier, to prevent scouring undermining the structure. The construction of the barrier was innovative, as it is quite different to the Thames Barrier in its design, and the only other similar structure, that at Ipswich on the River Orwell, is some 30 per cent smaller, and had not been commissioned at the time the Boston Barrier project began. Work began on the project in 2018, and the sector gate, which was manufactured in Holland, was delivered in November 2019. The gate was operational by December 2020, and the completed scheme offers better flood protection to over 13,000 homes and businesses. The entrance to the wet dock was widened from 52 ft to 59 ft, with the existing timber V-gates being replaced by a single pair of vertical sector gates.

Because the work affected navigation, it was authorised by a Transport and Works Act 1992 Order. The Transport and Works Act (1992) was introduced to simplify the process of obtaining permission for the construction or alteration of railways and inland navigations, and any work which interferes with rights of navigation. The completed barrier was recognised in the civil engineering world, receiving six awards, four from the Institution of Civil Engineers, one from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, and an Environment Agency Flood and Coast Award.

Historical connection
In 1607, The Haven, between Boston and the sea, was the scene of the first, abortive, attempt of the Scrooby Pilgrims, to leave England. Ultimately, in 1620, they became part of the original settlement of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Longfield railway station

Longfield railway station is on the Chatham Main Line in England, serving the villages of Longfield, Hartley, and New Ash Green. It is 23 mi down the line from London Victoria and is situated between Farningham Road and Meopham.

The station and all trains that call are operated by Southeastern.

History
Although situated in Longfield, the station was originally named after Fawkham when it opened in June 1872. The name of a nearby village was chosen as a local land owner had offered land and cash for provision of a station.

The original station was destroyed by fire around 1900, but rebuilt in the same location. The railway line through Fawkham station was electrified in 1939 under the Southern Railway with electric trains operating between Victoria and Gillingham. Steam trains continued to pass through the station on their way to/from the Kent Coast until June 1959 when those services were then also turned over to electric operation under British Railways.

With the start of summer timetable in 1961, the true location of the station was recognised when it was renamed 'Longfield for Fawkham & Hartley' from 12 June. By the end of the 1960s the cumbersome appendences were dropped in favour of plain Longfield, although the longer name survived on some signs and tickets well into the next decade.

The station building built following the fire of 1900 was demolished in 1971 and replaced by the contemporary CLASP prefabricated design favoured by British Rail.

Usage of the station has grown considerably in the last thirty years, as it rests within a large catchment area of residential development. The frequency of services and journey times to and from London also attracts commuters away from the slower North Kent Line services provided at Gravesend, Northfleet and Swanscombe stations.

Services
All services at Longfield are operated by Southeastern using, and  EMUs.

The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
 * 2 tph to London Victoria (1 of these runs non-stop from Bromley South and 1 calls at Denmark Hill)
 * 1 tph to Gillingham
 * 1 tph to Dover Priory via Canterbury East

During the peak hours, the station is served by an additional hourly service between London Victoria and Gillingham. The station is also served by a number of peak hour services to and from Ramsgate.

On Sundays, the station is served by an hourly service between Dover Priory and London Victoria via Denmark Hill.

Upminster (UK Parliament constituency)

Upminster was a constituency of the House of Commons in east London, which returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first-past-the-post voting system. It was created for the 1974 general election, and abolished for the 2010 general election.

Boundaries
1974–1983: The London Borough of Havering wards of Cranham, Emerson Park, Gooshays, Harold Wood, Heaton, Hilldene, and Upminster.

1983–1997: The London Borough of Havering wards of Ardleigh Green, Cranham East, Cranham West, Emerson Park, Gooshays, Harold Wood, Heaton, Hilldene, and Upminster.

1997–2010: The London Borough of Havering wards of Cranham East, Cranham West, Emerson Park, Gooshays, Harold Wood, Heaton, Hilldene, and Upminster.

History
The constituency shared boundaries with the Upminster electoral division for election of councillors to the Greater London Council at elections in 1973, 1977 and 1981.

This usually safe Conservative seat was won by Labour in the landslide of 1997. It became one of the few seats that Labour lost in the 2001 general election. The constituency was replaced by the new Hornchurch and Upminster constituency for the 2010 general election.

Constituency profile
Upminster was the easternmost constituency of the London Borough of Havering, and of Greater London. The constituency was oddly shaped and covered both the wealthiest and the poorest parts of the borough while being London's least ethnically diverse constituency. The constituency included the Upminster suburb of Cranham. The boundary to the north extended beyond the A127 and A12 to include Harold Wood and Harold Hill. In the east the constituency was uniquely the only London constituency to form a protrusion to cross the M25 motorway and include North Ockendon. To the west the boundary also formed a protrusion to include the wealthy suburban area of Emerson Park which otherwise formed part of Hornchurch. The River Ingrebourne formed part of the constituency boundary to the west and the M25 Motorway formed much of the boundary to the east.

Talk:Virginia Bottomley

Untitled
The anagram might not be the most important fact about her life, but it has been widely quoted and is one of the more interesting anagrams of celebrity names. Warofdreams 10:24, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * But she is not evil and not a bigot, so it has nothing to do with her. This one is already in the anagram page examples. --Audiovideo 14:39, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Style
In bio's of politicians is it normal to refer to them by their given names? It reads as though it was written by one of her friends or admirers (and probably was). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.40.225 (talk) 13:43, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Armbrust The Homunculus 02:27, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Virginia Bottomley, Baroness Bottomley of Nettlestone → Virginia Bottomley – Recently moved to current title, but it seems to meet the exception in WP:NCPEER that she is best known by her personal name and received her peerage on retiring from politics. January ( talk ) 11:40, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Disagree. Virginia Bottomley, Baroness Bottomley is best compromise as her title is inherently linked to her political existence, unlike, say P.D. James or Ruth Rendell. Quis separabit?  12:41, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "Baroness Bottomley" is inaccurate as it's only part of her title. Timrollpickering (talk) 18:32, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Either way, as Virginia Bottomley, Baroness Bottomley or Virginia Bottomley, Baroness Bottomley of Nettlestone, whichever is more accurate.  Quis separabit?  18:53, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

 * If a politician spent much of their career as a member of the House of Lords it is appropriate to have the peerage in the title, but Bottomley's notable political career was as a member of the Commons and she received the peerage on stepping down. This is consistent with the examples in WP:NCPEER of politicians who are not at their peerage titles (Margaret Thatcher, Anthony Eden). January  ( talk ) 09:54, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

 * But it is a bit off-balanced to put Virginia Bottomley and/or other life peers, who don't happen to be former PMs, in the same category as actual (former) Prime Ministers (such as Thatcher and Eden). Quis separabit?  17:34, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

 * The exception is for "Peers who are very well known by their personal names and who only received a title after they retired", it is not exclusively for prime ministers. Bottomley was a cabinet minister and was highly notable under her personal name. January  ( talk ) 18:34, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

 * You've convinced me. Support move to simply Virginia Bottomley. Quis separabit?  11:49, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Jeremy Hunt cousin rumour
The claim that Jeremy Hunt is a cousin seems false. Roland Charles Colin Hunt was the son of Colin and Dorothea Hunt, Sir Nicholas Hunt was the son of John Montgomerie Hunt and Elizabeth Yates. Internet rumours claim Roland Charles Colin Hunt and Sir Nicholas Hunt were brothers and that's why Virginia Bottomley and Jeremy Hunt must be cousins, but I see no evidence to back up this claim.

Cazzie Russell

Cazzie Lee Russell (born June 7, 1944) is an American former professional basketball player and coach. An NBA All-Star, he was selected by the New York Knicks with the first overall pick of the 1966 NBA draft. He won an NBA championship with the Knicks in 1970.

College career
In 1962, while playing at Chicago's Carver High School, Russell was named the Chicago Sun-Times Boys' Player of the Year. Russell played college basketball at the University of Michigan.

Along with Bill Buntin, Russell led the Wolverines to three consecutive Big Ten Conference titles (1964–66) and to Final Four appearances in 1964 and 1965, losing in the final game 91–80 to defending national champion UCLA and John Wooden in 1965.

In 1966, Russell averaged 30.8 points per game and was named the College Basketball Player of the Year. Crisler Arena, which opened in 1967, has been dubbed The House that Cazzie Built. Russell was also initiated into Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity - Sigma Chapter in 1964.

Professional career
Russell was drafted by the New York Knicks with the first overall pick of the 1966 NBA draft, playing for them for five seasons (1966–1971). While playing for the Knicks he was named to the 1967 All-Rookie Team and won the NBA Finals in 1970.

He was primarily the sixth man during his five seasons with the Knicks where he scored 4,584 points in 344 games. His playing time diminished during his last two years in New York as he sustained on separate occasions a fractured ankle and wrist. His desire to be traded by the Knicks was granted on May 7, 1971, when he was acquired by the Golden State Warriors for Jerry Lucas. He appeared in the 1972 NBA All-Star Game.

Russell was the first player in NBA history to leave a team after finishing his option year when he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers on September 6, 1974. The Warriors did not offer him a no-cut contract. While with the Lakers he became the last player to wear the number 32 and 33 jerseys before Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. With the Lakers having signed Jamaal Wilkes during the offseason, Russell was one of the team's last player cuts entering the 1977–78 campaign when he was waived on October 16. In 1978, he signed with the Chicago Bulls, which would conclude his NBA career.

In total, Russell spent 12 seasons in the NBA (1966–1978).

During the 1978–79 season, Russell played for the Great Falls Sky of the Western Basketball Association (WBA). He ended his career after the 1980–81 season when he played for the Philadelphia Kings of the Continental Basketball Association.

Coaching career
In 1981, he became the head coach for the Lancaster Lightning of the CBA. He guided the team to the 1981–82 league championship. During the playoffs, with his team depleted by injuries, Russell came out of retirement and played for the Lightning in the final game of the league championship series, played in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Russell was named the CBA Coach of the Year in 1982. Russell later coached the Wyoming Wildcatters, Grand Rapids Hoops and Columbus Horizon of the CBA and the Mid-Michigan Great Lakers in the Global Basketball Association. He also served as assistant coach of the Atlanta Hawks for two seasons (1988–1990).

Russell was the head coach of the men's basketball team at the Savannah College of Art and Design for 13 seasons, until the college eliminated the sport in 2009. He still remains at the college in an administrative capacity.

He served as an assistant coach at Armstrong State University until 2017 when it was discontinued.

He spent several years as head coach at Centennial High School in Columbus, Ohio, during the mid-1990s before taking the job in Georgia. He is now the assistant coach of the Flagler College Saints women's basketball team.

Military service
During the 1960s, while with the Knicks, Russell was in the Fighting 69th Regiment of the New York Army National Guard. He started in the army as a private. He participated in army service during the basketball season, including being recalled to active duty during national emergencies.

Honors
In 2006, Russell was voted as one of the 100 Legends of the IHSA Boys Basketball Tournament, a group of former players and coaches in honor of the 100 anniversary of the IHSA boys basketball tournament.

Russell received the Bobby Jones Award in 2015 at the Athletes in Action All Star Breakfast, which is held each year at the NBA All Star Weekend.

In 2016 Russell was the recipient of the Coach Wooden "Keys to Life" Award at the Athletes in Action Legends of the Hardwood Breakfast, which is held each year at the Final Four.

Remastered surface images of Venus
Hi there. I noticed that someone recently has uploaded your remastered Venera images at Image:Venera13Surface.jpg and Image:Venera14Surface.jpg. He has credited you, but are you okay about this? (You can reply either here or on my talk page). Regards, --BillC 11:53, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying on my talk page. BlueMars has replied to you below and I hope that you can come to some agreement over licensing. As with all copyright issues, I would advise for prompt action here to prevent the images 'escaping'. Thanks also for your insight into NASA copyright issues. Copyright in general in Wikipedia can be discussed at Wikipedia talk:Copyrights, and specific concerns at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems. Incidently, let me congratulate you on the Venera images, which are remarkable. Regards, --BillC 20:51, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

(Moved from user page to talk page by BillC): Hello, First of all, I want to apologize for not asking you for your permission regarding the usage of you images on Wikipedia. I wasn't aware that you are owner of their copyrights. In addition to that, I misread the copyright date of the Soviet Union-tag (1983 instead of 1973; it was 0:22am :-P). As a conclusion I want you to formally ask for your permission to use your images on Wikipedia for non-commercial usage, so we can clean the image-pages up an add a "permission by author given"-tag. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience. --BlueMars 14:42, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you have permission to use my Venera-13 and Venera-14 images on Wikipedia, for non-commerical use.

Hello again,

I've looked through the copyright guidelines of Wikipedia, where it is clearly stated, that images released by their author for non-commercial Wikipedia-only use cannot be permitted. The only valid copyright tag available would be this one:

However, I'm afraid this would not be in your interest, so I am afraid we will eventually have to delete the images, which I really regret. Your remastering has really helped not only to bring new live to the Venera missions, but also to make Venus more like a "place where one could be one day", as Carl Sagan remarked about Mars after he has seen the first images from the Viking 1 lander.

Feel free to check the copyright standards of Wikipedia youself. To be honest, I find it a bit strange that it is not possible to release a picture in Wikipedia for non-commercial use only... Regards --BlueMars 15:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, but I am not willing to declare the images "public domain". Not because I plan to profit, but because I am philosophically opposed to wikipedia demanding that. Particularly since I am not sure what wiki's long term plans are about profiting from books or other commercial ventures. I suggest we remove the image and retain a link to my catalog page, so people can see the Venus images in their original form as well as the perspective projection. DonPMitchell 15:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I just discovered what might be a possibility to use your images and keep their copyright under Fair use. I've added the respective tags to the image pages. Review my changes. If you do not agree, I will delete them. --BlueMars 15:28, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Cool, that's fine with me. Thank-you for taking the time to resolve this. DonPMitchell 17:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * No problem. --BlueMars 20:39, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I wanted to nominate your Venera picture for Featured Picture, is that okay or not, TPTB seem to say its not under the current licensing but maybe if you gave your permission and left it on the image page or something they would allow. I really like the picture, I always wondered what Venus looked like at the correct angle. A mcmurray 02:24, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Don P. Mitchell
Hello! Don P. Mitchell is not the appropriate spot to post information about yourself, because that's the encyclopedic part of the Wikipedia website. User:, however, is available for personal information about yourself. Please see Introduction and User page for more information. --Slowking Man 12:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I did not create the DonPMitchell page. Evidently a living scientist cannot have an entry about themselves? I don't know. Delete it if you like Mr. Slowking. DonPMitchell 20:34, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I didn't think you did. I tried to convince Slowking that it wasn't a vanity page but that user wouldn't listen, so whatever I guess. A mcmurray 10:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Also if you want, you can post some biographical info here or on my talk page and I will bring the article back with that as a reference, because, yes, living scientists should have wikipedia entries, or just point me in the direction of any relevant biographical material, either way I am more than happy to write it up. A mcmurray 10:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Don posted to his blog on Tuesday, July 17, 2007, so I think it is safe to assume that's a live contact. --KSmrqT 05:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

On image copyrights
I recently came across this, and thought I should say something, though I'm not quite sure what. For what it's worth, there is a list of licenses besides the public domain one, most of which could be used instead. Though, they all roughly translate into allowing any use, as long as reuse is permitted.

Wikipedia's policies are far too complicated for anyone's good, and are in definite need of simplification and clarification. Thanks for contributing. -- kenb215 talk 13:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks Kenb215. I've looked at GFDL, and it appears to be a complete abrogation of my rights.  It's inappropriate for wikipedia to ask people to give up their rights beyond the scope of wikipedia.  I'm willing to license my work for free to them.  If that's not good enough, then they may not use my images.  DonPMitchell 00:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Is there some original PD material that others can use to clean up for free use? Bcsr4ever 14:14, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I've thought about this and have decided on a compromise. I am willing to license a somewhat smaller version of the Venera image under some suitable license for wikipedia. I'm not quite sure how one goes about "attaching" a license to an image in this case, but this is the picture I will be licensing: Venus Surface.

The actual original version of this image is much bigger than anything ever posted on the web (1600 pixels high). That will be available for free to authors, but only for publication in print form. DonPMitchell 15:04, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedians' views of policy
Hi Don! As you may have noticed, some wikipedians are a bit policy-bound, to say the least. (My personal tendancy is to mock them mercilessly for it, but in truth that isn't particularly constructive. ;-) Even with that said, it might make sense for you to get a bit more background on some of those policies they defend so doggedly. In particular, reading WP:OR would probably make a lot of sense in your case. For readers unfamiliar with the policy, even just reading the "in a nutshell" box at the top of the page provides a decent introduction. My personal summary would be, "Be really careful using your own work as a reference." In point of fact, my bet is that in most cases it isn't worth the hassle: it would likely be easier to find someone else's work to cite than it would be to fight the battle required to cite oneself. Linking to personal websites probably falls under this category. If the link is really worthwhile though, mention it on the talk page for an article, and get someone else to make the edit to the article. I know this sounds like bureaucratic hassle, but sometimes it's easier to "work with the drugs", as they say. Anyway, happy editing! (sdsds - talk) 17:08, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Is this in reference to a particular problem? DonPMitchell 17:32, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Superficially at least, this edit might be (mis)taken for self-promotion. (sdsds - talk) 23:31, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Electrical Experimenter
Hi, the Academic Journals wikiproject is collaborating on Electrical Experimenter this week, and it would be great if you could help us. If you have physical copies of this magazine that are in the public domain (i.e. pre-1923), it would be great if you could scan a few pages, upload them to Commons, and note the availability on our "Transcription" page. Cheers, John Vandenberg (talk) 09:37, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi, I got a note a few months about about collecting Electrical Experimenters. Sounds exciting.  Are they in the public domain now?  I don't have any issues, but I have Xerox copies of the Nikola Tesla articles and a few others. DonPMitchell (talk) 17:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The pre-1923 editions of Electrical Experimenter are all PD, and later editions probably were not renewed, making them PD as well.
 * I have done a quick check on Tesla, and it looks like all of his works are in the PD. There are very few Tesla works on archive.org, so we would love to hear about which works of his you could provide; let us know over on s:Author:Nikola Tesla.  The more obscure the better! :-)  Do you have access to a scanner?  If so, we have notes at s:Help:Djvu on how the images can be packaged into a djvu file, but even if you can only do the scanning, someone at Wikisource will be only too happy to figure out a way to obtain the pagescans from you and put them online. i.e. I can give you ftp access to my server where you could deposit them.
 * See s:Index:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu for an example of what we do with the pagescans, and s:Index:H.R. Rep. No. 94-1476 for an almost complete project. John Vandenberg (chat) 17:04, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I was at JPL with Bud Jacobson's group on the Ge spectrometer, C-1 starting in 1979. I'd love it if you could beef up the discussion of the C-3 experiment (or point me to some easily accessible references I could read and comprehend myself in a short time). I'm working now on the Spitzer Space Telescope at Caltech. Were you a student or postdoc there? What are you doing now? Cheers, Bill Wwheaton (talk) 08:09, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Deuterium mass
You were quite correct that the article incorrectly gave the deuteron mass only. But adding the electron mass gave a number very close to the physics handbook answer. I put in the one with more significant figures, using CODATA figures for both. If you can find an error, please let me know. S B Harris 22:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Encyclopedia Astronautica
Hello DonPMitchell. In 2014 you added to the Talk:Encyclopedia Astronautica of Encyclopedia Astronautica the following statement:

 * "As a space historian, let me say Mark Wade's site and Jonathan's site are very notable. For scholarly references, it's always a good idea to check web sources, but I have mostly found astronautix.com to be useful and reliable and a real public service. Given that porn stars have their own Wikipedia pages, it's really a shame when someone suggests deleting an article about a productive and useful work like Mark Wade's website."

I wanted to use it as an argument for the Encyclopedia Astronautica but it was deleted because it is not an official statement from a source outside Wikipedia. Is there anything I could use as your statement instead? SchmiAlf (talk) 08:10, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
