New England Emigrant Aid Company

The New England Emigrant Aid Company (originally the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Company ) was a transportation company founded in Boston, Massachusetts by activist Eli Thayer in the wake of the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which allowed the population of Kansas Territory to choose whether slavery would be legal. The company's ultimate purpose was to transport anti-slavery immigrants into the Kansas Territory. The company believed that if enough anti-slavery immigrants settled en masse in the newly-opened territory, they would be able to shift the balance of political power in the territory, which in turn would lead to Kansas becoming a free state (rather than a slave state) when it eventually joined the United States.

The company is noted less for its direct impact than for the psychological impact it had on proslavery and abolitionist groups. Thayer's prediction that the company would eventually be able to send 20,000 immigrants a year never came to fruition, but it spurred border ruffians from nearby Missouri, where slavery was legal, to move to Kansas to ensure its admission to the Union as a slave state. That, in turn, further galvanized Free-Staters and other enemies of the Slave Power.

Thayer's intention was to capitalize on anti-slavery sentiment in the Northern United States and to send settlers to Kansas to purchase land and build houses, shops, and mills. They could then sell the land at a significant profit and send the proceeds back to Thayer and his investors. At the behest of several investors, who found the notion of profiting from the anti-slavery cause distasteful, the company's model was shifted to that of a benevolent society, and it was renamed the New England Emigrant Aid Company in 1855. While the company achieved neither a profit nor a significant impact on the population of Kansas, it played an important role in the events that would later be termed Bleeding Kansas.

Creation
The company was formed in the midst of the sectional crisis that preceded the American Civil War. To the Northern United States, the concept of popular sovereignty, which stated that the population of each new U.S. state should be allowed to decide if it allowed slavery, was an attempt by Southerners to gain power. When the Kansas–Nebraska Act threatened to extend popular sovereignty into the new Kansas Territory, Eli Thayer, a second-term Congressman from Massachusetts, hatched the idea of an Emigrant Aid Company in the winter of 1853–1854. His primary partners in the venture were Alexander H. Bullock and Edward Everett Hale, and together, they set Thayer's plans in motion on March 5, 1854. Thayer announced the company at a rally against the impending passage of the Kansas–Nebraska Act in Worcester on March 11. Shortly thereafter, the company's charter was approved by the Massachusetts Legislature for up to $5,000,000 in capital.

Under its charter, the Emigrant Aid Company was "to supply information, cheapen transportation, and set up saw mills and flour mills" in the new territory. The idea of the company was to win Kansas for the free-state movement while at the same time turning a tidy profit for investors.

Many of the sponsors of the company did not believe in social or political equality for Blacks. In addition to banning slavery in the territory, they also expected, if victorious, to ban black citizenship and property ownership. Kansas's first constitution, the never-adopted Constitutions of Kansas, banned free as well as enslaved Blacks from the Territory.

Officially, the company was a profit-making venture, and how the settlers voted was of no consequence to the company. For example, the company secretary, Thomas Webb released a pamphlet in 1855 stating that although the settlers sent to the territories would not be required to vote for one side or the other, they were expected to support the free-state movement. A number of abolitionists questioned the profit motive behind the company, and even many of Thayer's potential investors balked at the notion "that people might say we were influenced by pecuniary considerations in our patriotic work." Although Thayer personally disagreed with such hesitations, in 1855 the company reorganized as a benevolent society and changed its name to the New England Emigrant Aid Company.

Reaction
The success of the endeavor prompted other aid assistance companies to form back East, in New York and Ohio, with new companies such as the Worcester County Emigrant Aid Society.

Impact
The company was directly responsible for creating the Kansas towns of Lawrence and Manhattan, and it played a key role in founding Topeka and Osawatomie. Lawrence was named after the company secretary, Amos Adams Lawrence. Multiple politicians were found in the emigrants who left for Kansas, such as Daniel Read Anthony, Charles L. Robinson, Samuel C. Pomeroy, and Martin F. Conway, who would later be Kansas's first US Representative.

The exact number of people who left for Kansas is unknown. James Rawley puts the numbers somewhere around 2000, about a third of whom returned home, but the Kansas Historical Society puts the number at around 900 for those who left for Kansas in 1855 alone.

The company's mission was ultimately successful, and Kansas entered the United States as a free state in 1861, as soon as the Southern legislators blocking it had walked out of Congress, to participate in the Confederate government.

DN1

DN1 (Drumul Național 1) is an important national road in Romania which links Bucharest with the northwestern part of the country and the border with Hungary via Borș. The main cities linked by DN1 are Bucharest, Ploiești, Brașov, Sibiu, Alba Iulia, Cluj-Napoca and Oradea.

On the Comarnic – Brașov section, traffic jams appear very often because of intense traffic volume going in the touristic region of Valea Prahovei (Prahova Valley) and the road narrowing to only two lanes.

The segment of DN1 that serves the area north of Bucharest was upgraded at the end of 2005. It now has three traffic lanes on each side and two new interchanges at the Henri Coandă Airport and the Otopeni bridge. Although it doesn't complete the motorway specifications, the DN1 road can be considered an expressway on certain segments. A modern CCTV system has also been installed on the section from Bucharest to Sinaia to prevent speeding and accidents. The section from Bucharest to Comarnic is an undivided dual carriageway.

On the Bucharest – Brașov section, driving restrictions apply during daytime from Monday to Friday for vehicles with MPW over 7.5 t and on Saturdays and Sundays for vehicles with MPW over 3.5 t. On the Cluj-Napoca – Oradea section, restrictions apply during daytime on Saturdays and Sundays for vehicles with MPW over 7.5 t.

The A3 motorway will carry the traffic off from DN1 when it will be completed and will be shorter by 59 km.

List of Germans
Themanwithoutapast, why don't you join the discussion on the List of Germans at Talk:List_of_Germans about who is considered German. In my opinion, Schubert was both German and Austrian. Austria was part of Germany when he was born in 1797, and when he died, there was no German country, but Austria was still a member of the German Confederation. --Chl 12:53, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Tnx for the comments, I'd appreciate your help with the image sorting as per my reply in FAC. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 11:31, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I have asked User:Halibutt to provide information regarding images he uploaded (bzura.jpg, PZL P.11c.jpg, Warsaw siege4.jpg, Warsaw siege1.jpg, Warsaw siege2.jpg) and User:Adam Carr for Ac.corridor.jpg = you may want to tell them what info is missing for our copyright purposes. German Soviet.jpg states it is a screenshot, and I thought those can be used freely? Ribbentrop Molotow.jpg and Cios w Plecy Dziennik Chicagoski 19 Wrzesien 1939.jpg are more problematic, as the User:Emax seems to have left Wikipedia few months ago, so what can we do with them? As for German_Troops_In_Warsaw.jpg, it has a source - www.archives.gov - so is it or is not Public Domain (Work of the United States Government? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:19, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Halibutt has done some work on images he uploaded and others (see User_talk:Piotrus for details), could you see if the number of controversial images is now smaller? I'd be happy to remove the few remaining controversial ones - as I wrote, it would be a waste to have the otherwise-good article fail FAC due to two or three disputed images, don't you think so?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 09:51, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Australia FAC
I apologise if my comments seemed aggressive yesterday, something else had aggravated me. I agree that it'd be nice that there was some content consistency within the sections on featured countries, but there isn't, for example the breakdown of economic activity doesn't rate a mention in the South Africa article. I mentioned in Australia since I think it’s interesting that primary production contributes relative little to GDP but makes up most of the exports. I'll tinker with it a bit more. Thanks for your comments. --nixie 23:15, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Thx for telling me, but I gave this article up a while ago - I already invested too much time in it and it is just too controversial - there are ultra-right winged, pro-Austrians and anti-Austrians (user:Fenice and user:Buffyg to name some) at work there editing and criticising... it is just not worth the effort any more. Sorry, but it appears that wikipedia is not the right place for articles about 20th century history. Themanwithoutapast 6 July 2005 17:31 (UTC)

Angara payload capacity
Hi, what is your source for Angara A5/KVRB 28,5 t LEO payload capacity? For a LEO mission there will be no upper stage on the rocket, either Breeze nor KVRB. And according to launch provider (the GTO payload is not correct given there!) and rocket manufacturer the LEO payload is 24,5 t. --Bricktop 9 July 2005 12:35 (UTC)
 * Actually it was the esa site - but might be wrong (it does not specifically address that a specification of the angara will have 28.5 ton capability, it just states heavy lifters 24.5 to 28.5), so please set it back to 24,5 t. Sorry. Themanwithoutapast 9 July 2005 13:25 (UTC)
 * Ok. 28,5 may be the payload of a some years ago proposed Angara version with a LOX/LH2 second stage (UKVB). But currently there are no plans for such a stage. --Bricktop 9 July 2005 13:55 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:1Rindt.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:1Rindt.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Replaceable fair use Image:1klipermedium.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:1klipermedium.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link].

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:1harrer.jpg}
Thank you for uploading Image:1harrer.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

I don't know how to upload them correctly. I see you've done it, so if you could help me out I'd be grateful. U5K0 (talk) 15:15, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You need to see if the ESA image is in their multimedia gallery. If so, you should be able to use it under ESA's image policy http://search.esa.int/termIG.html on wikipedia. Best Themanwithoutapast (talk) 18:49, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It is, I just don't know how to upload it under ESA's policy. I can't find it in the 'upload file' form.U5K0 (talk) 20:13, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Treaty of Lisbon ratification.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Treaty of Lisbon ratification.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:18, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:1ofrisck002p1.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:1ofrisck002p1.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:05, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:1Ariane5LaunchArianespace.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:1Ariane5LaunchArianespace.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

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

International Space Station
I know see why you reverted my edits, but is it not curious that the article uses BE, when the UK is but a minor player in the ISS? The Canadians seem to have more of a valid claim to using Canadian English, which I presume one would tell me is the same as BE. But, the MoS indicates that one consideration is the country to which the article is most closely aligned. So, does AE have a place here over BE? QueenofBattle (talk) 19:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * All this has been discussed on the talk page relating to the ISS. The UK isn't even part of the ISS program. That was not the issue. The outcome of the discussion was "no consensus" and as per Wiki policy that means no change to the article as is would be made. Best, Themanwithoutapast (talk) 11:15, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, I see and have now read the prior discussions. Given that "no consensus" means (in this case) no change, it really is a weak finding.  Recognizing that consensus can change with time, is there any value in revisiting the issue in your mind?  QueenofBattle (talk) 22:32, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, normally you wait at least a couple of weeks/months before revisiting an issue which has been extensively discussed on a talk page already. Themanwithoutapast (talk) 07:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I hadn't realized that it had been discussed so recently. QueenofBattle (talk) 20:30, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

DIRECT page
Hello,

I appreciate your tackling the mess that is the second half of the DIRECT article. Basically, I got rid of as much redundancy as possible and just tacked what was left to the back of the article.

You may have seen my rant on npoving every sentence. But even accepting all the disclaimers, i think the article drags a bit. Tell me what you think of my edit attempts on an earlier version of the article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fotoguzzi/direct_edits

Thanks. Fotoguzzi (talk) 20:17, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I think the article is good already. The two sections I marked with the "relevance" tag should just be shortened a bit, because they include information which is located elsewhere already (and some numbers need references). Personally I'd say the article is informative and of good quality otherwise. Themanwithoutapast (talk) 20:22, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Maybe not good, but certainly a lot better! I will nibble away at it. For instance, I'm not sure that there needs to be a running commentary in each section how Ares differs. I hope people will intervene if they think I am making it worse. Thx, Fotoguzzi (talk) 03:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * By "good" I meant it was good before I had even edited anything (I am not taking credit for making it good at all.). A lot of correct information is in it. It was just that the information was provided several times in different places and sometimes Ares I and Ares V were somehow said to be bad launch vehicle choices, which they aren't really - they have development problems and cost a lot. That's bad in itself, but doesn't the article needs to "bash" them. Well, let's see how that article progresses - and of course let's see what the Augustine commission will recommend...

ISS FAC4.
Hello there! As an editor who has posted a comment in one of the recent Peer Reviews, GANs or FACs of International Space Station, or who has contributed to the article recently, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind commenting in the current Featured Article Candidacy with any suggestions you have for article improvements (and being bold and making those changes), whether or not you feel any issues you have previously raised have been dealt with, and, ultimately, if you believe the article meets the Featured Article guidelines. This is the fourth FAC for this article, and it'd be great to have it pass. Many thanks in advance, Colds7ream (talk) 16:45, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Kliper-esa.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Kliper-esa.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Talk:Wesleyan Church

Removal of Illinois Wesleyan
Despite the name, Illinois Wesleyan is actually affiliated with the United Methodist Church.--Benfergy 01:14, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)

George McGovern?
Wasn't G. McGovern, former Presidential candidate, raised Wesleyan? [Unsigned comment by User:66.72.215.225]

George McGovern was raised Wesleyan Methodist, before the merger of the pilgrim holiness and wesleyan Methodist churches in 1968. PatrickMunsell (talk) 05:22, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

First Denomination to Ordain?
According to this site, The Wesleyan Church was the first to ordain a woman in America- yet I was taught that abolitionist Antoinette Brown was the first woman ordained in America. This is confirmed on Wikipedia also- by roughly a 4 year margin. Anyone know who can claim to be the first to ordain a woman- Congregationalists or Wesleyans? ~JdM [Unsigned comment by User:63.254.139.59]

Fundamentalist, Mainline or Liberal?
Is the Wesleyan Church considered fundamentalist, Mainline or Liberal? How does it compare to other Methodist traditions? As other pages seem to be orginized, it should be under "Beliefs". [Unsigned comment by User:Amyanda2000]

 * None of the above; as the article states, it can be categorized as evangelical and holiness. Pollinator 07:09, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I've added a beliefs section, as it is important to flesh out the beliefs. However, I would categorize the Wesleyans as fundamentalists.  As with other Holiness churches, they believe in the inerrancy of scripture, the reality of the miracles, the virgin birth, Christ's death as atonement for sin, etc.  I'll try to flesh the beliefs section out more in the days to come. Dawynn (talk) 03:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Merge Wesleyan Methodists?
Should Wesleyan Methodists be merged with this article? Deco 03:33, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * A redirect should do it. I'll fix that. Pollinator 04:48, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Careful on that. The Wesleyan Methodist Church was a distinct historical denomination, and still exists, although in vastly limited numbers in Great Britain and the USA.  In other countries, like Australia, the Wesleyan Methodist Church is still a strong current denomination. Dawynn (talk) 19:13, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Please do not merge. Many Wesleyan Methodist churches did not go with the merger, and are still knowm as Wesleyan Methodist. There are already references in that article รัก-ไทย 13:22, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Position
It is unclear in the article if the position of the church in the splitting is pro-slavery or against it. Could someone make it more clear? WikiprojectOWU 06:52, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Anti-slavery. February 1, 1843, a convention was held which led to the creation of the Wesleyan-Methodist Connection; its Discipline was modified from the Methodist Episcopal Church to reflect, among other things, that owning of slaves was prohibited by its members and that the new church rejected any claim that it was ever right to own slaves. (An Outline History of The Wesleyan Church, 5th Edition, Lee Haines & Paul Thomas, (c)2000, Wesleyan Publishing House, pg 71-72) Rwsutler 02:21, 3 June 2007 (UTC)rwsutler

Most notable on position of the wesleyan church is the anti gay political activist, rev. Jim garlow, pastor of megachurch, skyline wesleyan. Jim garlow was a prominent leader of the prop 8 bill in california to ban same sex marriage by state reforendem. He famously stated through his broadcast on 800+ radio stations that "America is now dead." PatrickMunsell (talk) 05:29, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm removing the globalization tag. The article topic is a U.S. and Canadian denomination, that article is therefore going to be North America-centric. The problem, I think is with the redirects, specifically Wesleyan Methodist Church, which was the name of the primary strain of British Methodism that eventually became the Methodist Church of Great Britain. I'm going to repoint WMC to MCGB, but leave Wesleyan Methodists pointed here, as it could refer to either, and leave the disambig text at the top intact.  VT hawkeye talk to me 02:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Where should the disambig point?
I am reverting the change of the redirect of Wesleyan Church to this page; I'm afraid that just looks like Americocentrism from outside North America. seglea (talk) 19:59, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Can someone confirm or deny whether this is the only real Wesleyan Church? Indications on Wikipedia are that the Wesleyan Methodist Church as it existed in Britain is now a part of the Methodist Church of Great Britain.  In Australia, its still the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Australia.  Although the Wesleyan Church is currently governed from the United States, Wikipedia indicates it is an international organization.  I'm having trouble tracking down what other foreign denominations exist that are truly called The Wesleyan Church (as opposed to Free Wesleyan Church or Wesleyan Methodist Church). Not to propose Americocentrism, but if Wikipedia is any indication, then perhaps Wesleyan Church (United States) is misnamed -- and it should possibly be renamed back to just Wesleyan Church. Dawynn (talk) 18:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This is tricky, because (so far as I know) the US-based (but international) Wesleyan Church is the only denomination that uses exactly that title, but historically many denominations with very slightly different titles have been referred to in everyday speech "The Wesleyan Church"; so, for example, to me as a British Methodist "Wesleyan Church" automatically means the pre-1933 Wesleyan Methodist Church, whereas to an American I suspect it automatically means the current denomination of that name. Under these conditions my view is that the best thing is to have Wesleyan Church point to a disambig page.  But I entirely agree that Wesleyan Church (United States) isn't a terribly satisfactory title for the article about a denomination that, though US in origin, is now well established in some other countries.  To make matters worse, we have two different conventions running in Wikipedia for cases where several different topics have the same name: in some cases the simple name points to the most significant entity of that name (e.g. London), in others it points to a disambiguation page (e.g. Colin Morris).  The latter solution is preferred (I don't know if there's a policy on this, but this is what seems to happen) when different substantial constituencies could not be expected to agree on which is the most significant entity.  I'd like to suggest that the two or three of us interested in this case have an amicable discussion about which kind of case we have here, and then go with the majority opinion - I am certainly willing to do that.  I think it's the second case, but I am open to persuasion seglea (talk) 20:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * As an attempt at a starting point in discussion, I see pages for Grace Tsutada, David Tsugio Tsutada, and Immanuel General Mission that indicate that Immanuel General Mission works with the branch of the Wesleyan Church in Japan. Is this the Wesleyan Church (United States) or some other denomination?  I see references on Christoph Gottlob Müller's page, indicating that he started the Wesleyan Church in Germany.  What denomination is that?
 * In researching this subject, I've also started to find indications that the Wesleyan Methodist Church was not one denomination, but two. I will try to find proper resources, but the denomination in the USA intentionally called itself the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion (sic) in order to distinguish itself from the church founded in Great Britain.
 * There's indications that, here and there, congregations that call themselves Wesleyan, may actually have been Wesleyan Methodist, in some form or another. And now that the US and Great Britain Wesleyan Methodist denominations have mostly merged with other churches, some of these congregations still associate with the much depleted Wesleyan Methodist church, in one form or another, creating more confusion.
 * I guess I would argue, if the Wesleyan Church, based in Indiana, is the only denomination that truly calls itself The Wesleyan Church (with no other adjectives), then references to "Wesleyan Church", and "Wesleyan church" should point to that page, with a disambiguation indicating that other historical and current denominations also contain the word Wesleyan in their title.
 * Further, the Wesleyan Church (United States) is the denomination that started as the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion (later corrected to Connection), so references to that denomination should point to the Wesleyan Church (United States) page. References to other Wesleyan Methodist churches (like those from Great Britain, or Australia) should point to those respective denominations.  There should be some indication (either directly or to an additional page) of churches formed by detractors from the various mergers that eventually formed the current Wesleyan Church (United States).  That all being said, the Wesleyan Methodist Church page should no longer be a primary reference for anything related to the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion / Connection.
 * In this context, I'm having trouble justifying both a Wesleyan Church disambiguation page, and Wesleyan (adjective) disambig page. I would think that the Wesleyan page could better cover all bases.
 * At least that's my opinion. Dawynn (talk) 18:55, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I am coming round to agreeing with your view - partly driven by what we have done about United Methodist Church, which is both a current US-based (but international) denomination and a former denomination in the UK (and quite possible elsewhere). For that we have the simple name pointing to the current denomination and then a link to a disambiguator.  After the reflection above (and some more research on my own behalf motivated by your very useful additions) I think the situation with Wesleyan Church is parallel and should go the same way.  Sorry for having messed it about.  I'd change it back now but I have to go home for dinner in a moment.
 * With regard to other comments above:

seglea (talk) 20:13, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I wasn't sure what you meant by the Wesleyan Methodist Church not being one denomination, but two, but then I discovered that we have a page with that title which points to a historic forerunner of the current US-based Wesleyan Church. But probably the much larger body was the British Wesleyan Methodist Church - though I am not even sure when that took that name.  I believe the original Methodist organization, set up in the UK by John Wesley, was originally called the Methodist Connexion (Wesley of course wanted it to remain within the Church of England).  When it formally split from the CofE (as a result of Wesley taking upon himself the right to ordain people to serve the Methodists in newly independent America), I think that it took the name "Methodist Church", but soon afterwards other groups calling themselves Methodist split off (the first were the Primitive Methodists), and the original group took the name "Wesleyan Methodist Church" to establish itself as the authentic successors of Wesley (which indeed they were in a legal sense, and in the sense of wanting to stay close to the CofE).  I am having trouble establishing what its formal names were in the early days, though, so this may not be quite right.
 * "Connexion" is not wrong, it is simply an authentic 18th Century spelling that was widely used in early Methodism and has been preserved to this day in the UK. Indeed we frequently have to correct "Connection" to "Connexion" in articles on early or UK Methodism.
 * I am beginning to think that we need a short article to deal with the historic British Wesleyan Methodist Church - the redirect to Methodist Church of Great Britain is not very helpful if you don't already know the history. This will mean yet another dismabig issue.  I suggest that we do make the head page of this the disambiguator, since we are dealing with at least two and possibly more denominations that have since disappeared as independent entities.
 * I absolutely agree that the situation is confused and confusing! And I suspect that it will get worse as we probe the history and the international scene further.

Ongoing construction
I found a couple denomination templates in Wikipedia. So, I reformatted the page a bit to conform to these templates. This leaves a few gaps that need to be fleshed out. I also see that what *was* already in place of this page is poorly cited. I've started expanding the page, but your participation in this process is desired! I was raised in a Wesleyan church, and currently attend a Free Methodist church, so I am deeply rooted in Arminian / Wesleyan / Holiness denominations, and very well may not be able to see my own biases. I hope to raise the quality of this page, and welcome your feedback along the journey. Dawynn (talk) 03:22, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Notable People
I've been bulking the "Notable People" section. Basically, following the "What Links Here" connections to Wesleyan Church, Wesleyan Methodist Church, and the various colleges. I'd be happy to hear input on this area. A) What counts as notable, and B) who should be listed here? My guess is that there are a number of people that may have attended one or another university, but may not ever consider themselves to be or have been Wesleyan in any way shape or form. Determining those that would truly consider themselves "Wesleyan" (or "Wesleyan Methodist", if they lived in previous centuries) is difficult at best. So, the list I'm building is probably over large. Dawynn (talk) 17:25, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Basically, if being connected to the church is specifically relevant to the lives of the individuals, then they should be included. Otherwise, in general, only individuals who have their own separate articles are included in such lists. John Carter (talk) 19:16, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Notable Wesleyan leaders
The most notable Wesleyan is currently Jim Garlow, pastor of megachurch, skyline Wesleyan Church in California. A national anti-gay leader, he was a prominent leader of the I'll fated prop 8 initiative in california, which defined marriage as between only one man and one woman. While prop 8 passed by a slim margin, it eventually became the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized same sex marriage in all 50 states. The Supreme Court declared prop 8 to be unconstitutional, denying equal protection to all citizens. Upon the Supreme Court decision, Rev. Garlow famously predicted on his radio show aired on 800+ stations that "America is now dead." Further documentation of dates and other notable quotes to come. Mr. Garlow should be included on this page because 1. He pastors what is largely considered the flagship Wesleyan Church in America and has national notoriety for spearheading "Pulpit Freedom Sunday" which encourages pastors to instruct their congregations on how to vote, specifically during presidential election cycles. It is intended and stated to be in defiance of IRS rules which would take tax free status from churches who are found to cross the line between separation of church and state. PatrickMunsell (talk) 06:01, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Correction. The Supreme Court case specifically came from plaintiffs from the state of Ohio. The Supreme Court decision, however did declare same sex marriage legal and stated that same sex marriages must be recognized in all 50 states. This overruled the prop 8 constitutional amendment vote in California of which Rev. Garlow was arguably the most prominent leader. PatrickMunsell (talk) 06:25, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Shouldn't the second paragraph be deleted or moved to the transportation chapter?

Also, even though there is no official rule, isn't it a bit weird alsou about the order of the chapters. From what I suggest, the order should be as: == Overview ==, == History == , == Etymology == , == Geography==. Thank you. Dimas Laksani (talk) 03:49, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Brocchi's Cluster

Brocchi's Cluster (also known as Collinder 399, Cr 399 or Al Sufi's Cluster) is a asterism of 10 stars. Six of the stars appear in an row, across 1.3° of the night sky. The cluster is in the south of the constellation Vulpecula, near the constellation Sagitta. Its nickname is the Coathanger. None of these ten stars are believed to be gravitationally bound to each other, thus they are not a star cluster, a fact established by measurements taken by the Hipparcos satellite in 1997. An additional 30 or so much fainter stars are considered by some to be part of the asterism.

History
It was first described by the Persian astronomer Al Sufi in his Book of Fixed Stars in 964.

In the 17th century, it was independently rediscovered by the Italian astronomer G. B. Hodierna.

In the 1920s, Dalmero Francis Brocchi, an amateur astronomer and chart maker for the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO), created a map of the stars for use in calibrating photometers.

In 1931, Swedish astronomer Per Collinder listed it in his catalogue of open clusters.

Status
The status of this group as a star cluster has changed in recent years. The group was considered to be a cluster for most of the 20th century. Looking at better, but imprecise metrics, a study in 1970 said that six of the brightest stars formed a cluster, the fainter four did not. Several independent studies since 1998 have determined that the stars are not a true cluster at all, but rather relatively near Milky Way stars with a close angular alignment. These recent studies are based on improved measurements of parallax and proper motion of the stars, taken by the Hipparcos satellite. Hipparcos detected up minute changes in parallax against other stars. This data was first published in 1997 and has been enhanced by subsequent orbits and cross-referencing with other readings.

The "Coathanger"
The asterism is made up of 10 stars ranging from 5th to 7th magnitude which form the conspicuous "coathanger", a straight line of 6 stars with a "hook" of 4 stars on the south side. An additional 30 or so much fainter stars to terrestrial observers are sometimes considered to be associated.

Under a dark sky, the coathanger can be seen with the naked eye as an unresolved patch of light; binoculars, zoom camera or a telescope at very low power are usually needed to view this asterism. It is best found by slowly sweeping across the Milky Way along an imaginary line from the bright star Altair toward the even brighter star Vega. About one third of the way, the Coathanger should be spotted easily against a darker region of the Milky Way. The asterism is best seen in July–August and north of 20° north latitude as compared to the closest horizon it will be upside-down (as in the picture top right of this page) when at its highest point. South of this latitude it is upright as the 'hanger' is south of the line of 6 stars.

The asterism and its immediate surroundings are a useful gauge for determining the faintest stars visible in a small telescope as there are a wide range of stellar magnitudes within the cluster easily viewed in one small patch of the sky.

There follows a table of the 10 stars commonly seen as members of the coathanger, organized by right ascension. They diverge in distance; HD 182955 and that suffixed -620 are, quite considerably, mutually the closest but certainly not gravitationally bound. The former has a proper motion on the second axis of −47.5 mas per year; the latter one of +9.8. This pair sit "across the hook" (i.e. widthways) as to their places in the asterism.

The faintest of the three bright stars, with resultant Flamsteed numbers, in this asterism is slightly dimmer than one without such a designation, and is joined by the six other stars in having a relatively similar Henry Draper catalog number, due to their position in the night sky and having sufficient apparent brightness (visible wavelength magnitude) to make the catalog.

NGC 6802
The "rail" of the coathanger leads, east, into an open star cluster of dozens of much more distant stars, likely mostly a true cluster (being gravitationally tied or associated). Measurements put them initially at about 4,580 light years away however the same authors have refined their view and state they are a further 4,420 light years away, in a report which invokes Early Gaia Data Release 3, and 6th "internal" Gaia-ESO survey measurements.

Tom Whittaker (footballer)

Thomas James Whittaker MBE (21 July 1898 – 24 October 1956) was an English football player, trainer and manager, chiefly associated with Arsenal Football Club.

Playing career
Whittaker was born at East Cavalry Barracks, Aldershot, Hampshire, but grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne from the age of three weeks. He spent his early football career in the North East of England as a youth player, whilst training as a marine engineer, later working in that role for Hawthorn Leslie & Co of Tyneside. He was called up to the British Army, signing up for the Royal Garrison Artillery, in 1917, moving to Lydd in Kent, before later switching to the Royal Navy. He was demobilised in 1919.

In the meantime, he had continued playing football for his regiment, and after serving his country in World War I, Whittaker forwent his engineering career and joined Leslie Knighton's Arsenal in November 1919. He first played as centre-forward then as wing-half. He signed as a professional in January 1920 and made his debut in a 1–0 defeat away to West Bromwich Albion on 6 April 1920 and became a regular in the side in the 1920s, playing 70 times for the club and scoring two goals.

He toured Australia as part of the Football Association side in 1925, but during the tour, in a match in Wollongong he broke his knee cap and was forced to retire from playing. Resolving to carry on in football, he joined Arsenal's coaching staff and entered study as a physiotherapist. He became Arsenal's first team trainer under Herbert Chapman in 1927 (whilst still younger than many of the players on the pitch). Whittaker had an important role under Chapman in reforming the training and physiotherapy regime at the club, and played an essential part in the club's successes of the 1930s.

Managerial career
After Chapman's death in 1934, Whittaker continued to serve under his successor, George Allison, and also became a trainer for the England national team.

The Second World War saw Whittaker work as an ARP warden, before becoming a pilot in the Royal Air Force, achieving the rank of squadron leader. For his service on missions on D-Day, he was awarded an MBE.

With the end of the war, Whittaker resumed his role as trainer at Arsenal. After Allison's retirement in 1947, Whittaker became the club's new manager; under him the club won the League in 1947–48 and 1952–53 and the FA Cup in 1949–50. Whittaker sought to attract Blackpool's Stanley Matthews, who was approached after the Tangerines' visit to Highbury in 1954. Since Matthews was already receiving football's maximum wage at Bloomfield Road, he felt there was nothing to be gained by moving south. Matthews, however, stated that he was "very happy" and politely turned down the offer. "Such an approach was against the rules at the time and, consequently, I couldn't tell anyone about it, and I never have until now."

Whittaker, while still at the helm of Arsenal, died of a heart attack at the University College Hospital, London in 1956, at the age of 58.

Personal life
Whittaker wrote an autobiography entitled The Arsenal Story which was posthumously released in 1957.

Joseph Huber Brewing Company

The Joseph Huber Brewing Company was founded in 1845 in Monroe, Wisconsin. Originally called The Blumer Brewery, it adopted the Huber name in 1947.

Huber reached its most successful point around 1978, when its Augsburger brand received awards from several prominent beer reviewers and became a top seller for the company. The brewery was sold in 1985 for $7.8 million; in 1988 the new owners sold the Augsburger label to Stroh Brewery Company and later briefly closed the brewery. Fred Huber, son of Joseph, bought the brewery and resumed operations in a partnership with Chicago's Berghoff family, but the brewery filed for bankruptcy and was sold in 1995. In 2006, the brewery and its brands were sold to Mountain Crest Brewing Company, of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Monroe brewery was renamed Minhas Craft Brewery.

Recognition

 * 2014 - Minhas Craft Brewery Huber Bock awarded Silver for best bock from the World Beer Awards.
