Talk:The New Party (UK, 2003)

Untitled
The New Party is the same organisation as the "Scottish People's Alliance" that bombed in the 2003 Scottish elections.

Sources? Anything at all? Charles Matthews 19:35, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

http://www.newparty.co.uk/ plus  suggest that it is not a total invention, though it does not look like something serious. It may have something to do with the Scottish Peoples Alliance which failed in the Scottish parliamentary election, 2003. --Henrygb 22:03, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The New Party - Press
If you look at the 'in the media' section of the Party site 2 further articles are available -- a piece from ePolitix on the Party's recent flat-tax proposal and another from The Scotsman discussing the New Party's recent campaign launch.

History and Origins of the New Party
I have added a section on party history to put some of this into context. I will add references (mainly newspaper/BBC News reports) in due course. I've also deleted the sentence alleging that detractors have accused the party of cryptofascism because of its immigration policy, and because of sharing a name with Oswald Mosley's party, basically because no citation is given of any concrete accusation, and I don't know of any. However, the New Party chairman Robert Durward was once accused of being a fascist because of comments he made about the army running public services (comments which were taken rather out of context) which may be worth recording somewhere in this article, and I'll add such a reference in when I get round to it, unless someone else gets there first.

I have deleted the following contribution to this article:

"The party follows typical liberterianism and general centre-right wing politics in the United Kingdom. It is clearly comparable to UKIP with the exception of populist policies - especially those on immigration. The party's lack of policy has led, perhaps, to its compelte lack of support."

I've deleted it as it adds nothing new except (a) spelling mistakes; and (b) the anonymous author's opinion. Dennett p 11:02, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Note on the name **Peoples Alliance**. There is no apostrophe in the name. As a matter of style the party took a decision not to use an apostrophe, with cheerful disregard to the norms of English grammar. Apparently the London store Harrods did the same thing (i.e. ditched the apostrophe). Dennett p

Tidying Up
Lots of people have been by adding bits and pieces about Global Warming. I have collected these together under the new GW section - removed some duplication and corrected other bits of grammar and one dodgy reference suggesting that the New Party supports The Great Global Warming Swindle - I can't find the original reference anyway and the context makes it pretty clear where the NP stands in any case. Dennett p 05:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

More tidying up
I've moved the content of the Global Warming section into the History section as it deals with a court case rather than policy as such. The policy section needs updating and expanding anyway. Some of the biographical detail about Robert Durward I have moved to his own entry. Dennett p 06:08, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Info box
I've removed the designation "Anti-Environmentalist" with respect to ideology for the following reasons: 1. While Robert Durward's record on environmentalism is documented, this is not reflected in New Party output generally (e.g. not mentioned much on the website, not prominent in its manifesto, not an issue in the by-election campaign at Haltemprice and Howden - whereas the Green Party in that election would have made it an issue because the Green Party is indeed an environmentalist party). 2. The "Inconvenient Truth" court case undoubtedly indicates an anti-environmentalist stance, but the Conservative Party's opposition to ID cards indicates a liberal stance, which doesn't in itself justify labelling the Conservative Party ideology as "liberal". Dennett p (talk) 12:09, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * If that is the case, and I have no reason to doubt you, then a lot of the emphasis in the article (on anti-environmentalism) needs to be removed. Setwisohi (talk) 14:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Which I have now done. Setwisohi (talk) 14:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I've also changed Classical Liberalism for Neo-Liberalism. As that would appear to be a more accurate view of the policies of this party. Classical Liberalism contains a strong social Liberal thread, which appears lacking from The New Party. Setwisohi (talk) 15:05, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I dispute that Classical Liberalism has a strong social liberal thread (this only really emerged in the late 19th century), but I don't particularly dispute changing the label to "Neo-Liberalism". As for the environmental stuff, a lot of people seemed to think it important to include it here when the Inconvenient Truth court case was going on. It always was a bit of a distortion and it's high time it was toned down. Dennett p (talk) 12:59, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Policy section - tense
Given that this party is no longer active (and the most recent policy document mentioned is now 15 years old), I wonder if the policy section needs to be rewritten in past tense? For example, instead of "The New Party describes its philosophy as follows" would it not be more appropriate to say that "The New Party described its philosophy as follows". This would make it clearer that it is not an active participant in current Scottish or UK politics. Dunarc (talk) 19:20, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Adlai Stevenson I

Preposition "with" / Overall all meaning of sentence unclear
"In doing so, he became the fourth vice president or former vice president to run for that post WITH two presidential candidates [...]" What does "with" mean in this sentence / what is the overall meaning of this sentence? This sentence is unclear to me. Perhaps it should instead read: "In doing so, he became the fourth vice president or former vice president to run for that post with two DIFFERENT presidential candidates [...]"

Death
Different accounts say that Adlai died in Chicago, others say he died in Bloomington. Any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srcrowl (talk • contribs) 21:50, 27 September 2005
 * Only that Adlai E. Stevenson II died in London, so the confusion between the two of them is not involved. --Jerzy•t 01:41, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I think there has been some vandalism on this page
Hi, I intended to translate this biography into french but I noticed a whole chapter disapeared. Since I saw in the history of the page that there already has been some reverts since this edit, I was wondering if it had been left this way on purpose (even if I would not understand why) and I did'nt change it myself. I hope someone will notice this soon, --fr:Poulos. talk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 13:26, 13 June 2006 (talk) 82.228.194.110
 * The section Adlai E. Stevenson I had been reduced to its heading and an ungrammatical part of its first sentence; i have not examined the intervening changes, but the section now has three sentences. --Jerzy•t 01:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Rare nomination status
Sorry--not sure how to create a new topic here. But I am puzzled by the claim that Stevenson was one of two former VPs to be nominated for the presidency. Have I misunderstood the claim? What about Richard Nixon, Walter Mondale, George H. W. Bush, and Al Gore? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.215.88 (talk) 03:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't think he was; it might say, badly, that he was nominated twice for VP (i.e., renominated once for VP), as running mate to two different Pres candidates. (Haven't checked article yet, just cleaning up on this talk page for now.) --Jerzy•t 01:41, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This wording is currently part of the article:
 * However it should be noted that Stevenson was the first of two former Vice Presidents to be nominated by his party for his former office. (The other being Republican Charles Warren Fairbanks in 1916).
 * I don't much like the wording, and i'm going to at least get rid of the sent frag, but the facts are accurate in AES I's case, and it is reasonable to suppose there's only one other case. --Jerzy•t 23:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's worse now: did he or didn't he get the nod? If he did, why is Fairbanks's failure "the only example since"? And an example of what? Nomination? Or failure? Or is the writer as confused as I am?  TREKphiler   hit me ♠  18:31, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

The sentence is still unclear and misleading. It would be much simpler if it read: Stevenson is one of only two persons to have been nominated for Vice-President of the US with a different running mate after having finished a full term as Vice-President. As it reads now, Cheney, Gore, GHW Bush, and Richard Nixon all were nominated for a second term as VP after finishing their first term.202.170.125.17 (talk) 11:40, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No, none of them were. They were all nominated for a second term as VP before finishing their first term. Binabik80 (talk) 20:08, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Presque Isle International Airport

Presque Isle International Airport, formally Northern Maine Regional Airport at Presque Isle, is a mile northwest of Presque Isle, in Aroostook County, Maine, United States. It serves the residents of Presque Isle and a vast area of northern Maine and northwestern New Brunswick. Airline flights to Newark Liberty International Airport are subsidized by the federal government's Essential Air Service program at a cost of $3,892,174 (per year).

Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 13,385 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 13,513 in 2009 and 15,052 in 2010. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport (more than 10,000 enplanements per year).

The airport has the third longest active runway in Maine at 7441' (behind Bangor International Airport, 11,440' and Brunswick Executive Airport, formerly Naval Air Station Brunswick runway 1R/19L, 8000'), and fifth longest overall (after the Loring Commerce Centre, formerly Loring Air Force Base (runway closed), 12,100', and Brunswick Executive Airport 1L/19R (runway closed), 8000'). It was once hub to Aroostook Airways, a commuter airline in the 1970s, with service to several cities throughout New England.

World War II
During World War II the federal government appropriated the airport, establishing an air base for planes bound to and from Great Britain. Lane Construction of Hampden was one of the contractors who worked on upgrading the airport for the military. Almost overnight, Presque Isle Army Airfield became a vital air transport installation and the city found itself a busy war center. During the Second World War, Clark Gable was briefly stationed at Presque Isle before being sent to England. Operations during this period were described by Ernest K. Gann, based on his personal experiences in the Air Transport Command, in his book Fate Is the Hunter.

Post-war
When the United States Air Force closed Presque Isle Air Force Base in 1961, the former Air Force Base was redeveloped. A business park, which includes Northern Maine Community College (which is closely integrated with the nearby University of Maine at Presque Isle), was developed on one side of the base, while the other portion became Northern Maine Regional Airport, now Presque Isle International Airport.

The Skyway Industrial Park sits adjacent to Presque Isle International Airport which offers commercial airline as well as general aviation services to the entire region. FedEx and United Parcel Service augment park accessibility by air to and from major markets.

Skyway Industrial Park, owned by the city of Presque Isle and administered by the Presque Isle Industrial Council, has been attractive to a variety of new businesses. As of 2024, over 60 companies have located on the park. Located adjacent to the airport and within 1.5 mi of downtown, the park has become a dominant feature in the local and regional economy, and is financially self-sufficient.

The airport saw frequent service prior to the 1978 Airline Deregulation Act, which led to a collapse in service as airlines pulled out of less profitable markets. Presque Isle currently relies on Essential Air Service to serve its market of approximately 200,000 residents. In 2024, the airport became the first Essential Air Service destination for JetBlue.

Facilities
The airport covers 1,489 acres (603 ha) at an elevation of 534 feet (163 m). It has two asphalt runways: 1/19 is 7,441 by 150 feet (2,268 m × 46 m) and 10/28 is 6,000 by 100 feet (1,829 m × 30 m).

In the year ending August 31, 2022, the airport had 7,388 aircraft operations, an average of 20 per day: 34% general aviation, 16% airline, 49% air taxi, and <1% military. In August 2022, there were 18 aircraft based at the airport: 16 single-engine, 1 multi-engine, and 1 jet.

Aircraft servicing Presque Isle include Cessna 208 Caravans and Beechcraft C99s operated by Wiggins Airways. Passenger service is offered with GoJet Airlines, which operates Bombardier CRJ550 aircraft for United Express.

Accidents and incidents

 * September 7, 1944: A USAAF Douglas C-54 crashed after takeoff 2.5 miles south on a local training flight out of then Presque Isle AAF. The probable cause was the elevator trim tabs may have been improperly rigged. All three occupants were killed.
 * March 1, 1998: Two pilots performing practice instrument landing system (ILS) approaches at night in a Piper PA-31, aircraft registration N777HM, died when the aircraft crashed into rising terrain 5.5 mi from the airport. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) attributed the accident to the pilot's failure to follow correct instrument approach procedures; contributing factors were fog, low ceilings, and darkness.
 * April 10, 1998: A Ted Smith Aerostar 600A, registration N7527S, rolled into a near-vertical dive immediately after takeoff; the pilot, who was the sole aircraft occupant, was killed in the crash and ensuing fire. The NTSB was unable to determine why the pilot apparently lost control of the aircraft.
 * November 22, 2017: The left-hand engine of a Cessna 421, registration N421RX, caught fire soon after takeoff from Presque Isle; the pilot attempted to return to the airport but was unable to maintain altitude and performed a forced landing in an adjacent field. Two persons aboard the aircraft suffered minor injuries and two others were uninjured; the aircraft was badly damaged. The NTSB attributed the accident to a fuel leak onto the hot turbocharger.
 * March 4, 2019: CommutAir Flight 4933, operating for United Express, arrived from Newark Liberty International Airport and missed runway 1 on landing, injuring five people and severely damaging the aircraft. The NTSB attributed the accident to confirmation bias which prompted the pilots to continue descending even though they could not see the runway in heavy snow. Contributing factors were poor decision-making by the captain; fatigue of the first officer, who was flying the aircraft; and misalignment of the ILS localizer caused by deep snow, a condition that multiple pilots had noticed previously but which had not been properly reported. Contrary to initial statements by CommutAir and the Federal Aviation Administration, the aircraft did not slide off the runway, but instead missed the runway entirely.

Muscari

Muscari is a genus of perennial bulbous plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of dense, most commonly blue, urn-shaped flowers resembling bunches of grapes in the spring. The common name for the genus is grape hyacinth (a name which is also used for the related genera Leopoldia and Pseudomuscari, which were formerly included in Muscari), but they should not be confused with hyacinths. A number of species of Muscari are used as ornamental garden plants.

Description
The genus Muscari originated in the Old World, including the Mediterranean basin, central and Southern Europe, northern Africa, western, central and south-western Asia. It has become naturalized elsewhere, including Northern Europe and the United States.

Brian Mathew says that many species of grape hyacinths, including not only Muscari but also the related Leopoldia and Pseudomuscari, are difficult to distinguish. They usually have one or more narrow leaves which arise from a bulb. The flowers appear in the spring and form a spike or raceme, being held in a close or loose spiral around a central stalk. The flowers often become less tightly spaced as the flower matures. The flower colour varies from pale blue to a very dark blue, almost black in some cases (albino forms are also known). In some species, the upper flowers may be of a colour or shape different from the lower flowers. Individual flowers are composed of six fused tepals forming a spherical to obovoid shape, constricted at the end to form a mouth around which the ends of the tepals show as small lobes or "teeth", which may be of a color different from the rest of the tepal.

Taxonomy
The use of muscari as part of the name of at least some of the species included in the modern genus can be traced back to Carolus Clusius in 1601, long before the modern rules of botanical nomenclature were established. In 1753, Carl Linnaeus used the name Hyacinthus muscari for the plant now called Muscari racemosum. In 1754, Philip Miller formally established the genus Muscari according to modern rules of nomenclature. The name muscari comes from the Greek muschos, musk, referring to the scent.

Classified in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae, the genus was formerly placed in the Liliaceae as a member of the tribe Hyacintheae. There are about forty species. The genus was at one time divided into four groups or subgenera: Botryanthus, Pseudomuscari, Leopoldia and Muscarimia. Pseudomuscari and Leopoldia are now treated as separate genera. The genus Muscari is now more or less equivalent to the Botryanthus group.

A complication in splitting up the broad genus is that Miller's original Muscari included representatives of at least three of the new genera. Which one should retain the name Muscari would normally be decided by where the type species was placed; however, Miller did not designate a type species, although the etymology of the genus name points to the species Linnaeus called Hyacinthus muscari (now Muscari racemosum).

The Muscarimia group are retained in Muscari by the Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families. Two species have been placed in this group: M. macrocarpum and M. racemosum (under the name M. muscarimi).

Species
, the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families accepts 79 species, including:

 * Muscari adilii M.B.Güner & H.Duman
 * Muscari albiflorum (Täckh. & Boulos) Hosni
 * Muscari alpanicum Schchian
 * Muscari anatolicum Cowley & Özhatay
 * Muscari armeniacum Leichtlin ex Baker
 * Muscari aucheri (Boiss.) Baker
 * Muscari babachii Eker & Koyuncu
 * Muscari baeticum Blanca
 * Muscari botryoides (L.) Mill.
 * Muscari bourgaei Baker
 * Muscari cazorlanum C.Soriano & al.
 * Muscari commutatum Guss.
 * Muscari discolor Boiss. & Hausskn.
 * Muscari dolichanthum Woronow & Tron
 * Muscari fertile Ravenna
 * Muscari filiforme Ravenna
 * Muscari hermonense Ravenna
 * Muscari hierosolymitanum Ravenna
 * Muscari kerkis Karlén
 * Muscari kurdicum Maroofi
 * Muscari latifolium J.Kirk.
 * Muscari lazulinum Ravenna
 * Muscari longistylum (Täckh. & Boulos) Hosni
 * Muscari macbeathianum Kit Tan
 * Muscari macrocarpum Sweet
 * Muscari massayanum C.Grunert
 * Muscari matritensis Ruíz Rejón & al.
 * Muscari microstomum P.H.Davis & D.C.Stuart
 * Muscari mirum Speta
 * Muscari neglectum Guss. ex Ten. [syn. Muscari racemosum (L.) Medik. nom. illeg.]
 * Muscari olivetorum Blanca
 * Muscari parviflorum Desf.
 * Muscari pulchellum Heldr. & Sart.
 * Muscari racemosum Mill. [syn. Muscari muscarimi Medik. nom. illeg., Muscarimia muscari (L.) Losinsk., Muscari moschatum Willd. ]
 * Muscari salah-eidii (Täckh. & Boulos) Hosni
 * Muscari sandrasicum Karlén
 * Muscari sivrihisardaghlarensis Yild. & B.Selvi
 * Muscari spreizenhoferi (Heldr. ex Osterm.) H.R.Wehrh.
 * Muscari stenanthum Freyn
 * Muscari tavoricum Ravenna
 * Muscari turcicum Uysal et al.
 * Muscari vuralii Bagci & Dogu

The names of some of the species are somewhat confused, especially in the horticultural literature. Thus the name M. racemosum is commonly found as an incorrect synonym for M. neglectum, with M. muscarimi or M. moschatum being used for the true M. racemosum. Muscari fatmacereniae was recently described from Turkey.

Species now allocated to other genera

 * Muscari azureum Fenzl, see Pseudomuscari azureum (Fenzl) Garbari & Greuter
 * Muscari comosum (L.) Mill., see Leopoldia comosa (L.) Parl.
 * Muscari paradoxum (Fisch. & C.A.Mey.) K.Koch, see Bellevalia paradoxa (Fisch. & C.A.Mey.) Boiss.

Cultivation
Some species are among the earliest garden flowers to bloom in the spring. They are planted as bulbs and tend to multiply quickly (naturalise) when planted in good soils. They prefer well drained sandy soil, that is acid to neutral and not too rich. Naturally found in woodlands or meadows, they are commonly cultivated in lawns, borders, rock gardens and containers. They require little feeding or watering in the summer, and sun or light shade.

Seiichiro Tarui

Seiichiro Tarui (垂井 清一郎) is a Japanese physician and metabolic disorder researcher. He received the Uehara Award in 1990 while working as a professor at the University of Osaka. He also received the Takeda Medical Science Prize in 1995.

Biography
Seiichiro Tarui was born in Kōshien, Nishinomiya, Hyōgo Prefecture. He qualified in medicine at the University of Osaka in 1953. From 1959 he was an assistant in the Second Department of Internal Medicine at this university, where he conducted clinical research on disorders of carbohydrate metabolism. He was appointed as Associate Professor of Internal Medicine in 1966, and in 1978 he was elevated to the chair of internal medicine. He retired with emeritus status in 1991. He then became Director of Otemae Hospital, Osaka.

Associated eponyms
Tarui's disease – An inborn error of glycogen metabolism characterized by phosphofructokinase deficiency in the muscles, associated with abnormal deposition of glycogen in muscle tissues. Tarui disease typically manifests itself in childhood with exercise intolerance and anaemia. The fatal variant normally onsets within the first year of life, and all reported cases have died before the age of four. The adult variant normally sets in during late adulthood in the form of progressive limb muscle weakness without myoglobinuria or cramps.

Talk:Patrik Eliáš

Patrik Eliáš v Patrick Elias
I object to the moving article from correct name Patrik Eliáš, to the incorect form Patrick Elias. I havent found any written wikipedia convenction about using or non using national alphabets, but generaly they are being used in wikipedia. Example is Luís de Camões. I do not think there was any reason for moving the article as there is no consensus on using national alphabets. Article should have remained as it was. I do not want to start edit war so I want change it back now, but I do not promisse I will not do it later if nobody proves me that there is a clear consensus against using national alphabets. Anyway his first name is Patrik not Patrick. --Jan Smolik 17:38, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

See the discussion that was discussed starting at: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Player pages format Croat Canuck   04:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Spengler Cup
Elias played on the Metallurg Magnitogorsk during the 04-05 season. They also won the Spengler Cup in 05. Can anyone find out if Patrik was on the team while they won the cup, so we can add it to the "Awards" section? I can not find any references, as of now. I will continue pursuing this tomorrow, though. I just want to find out if anyone else knows so I don't have to do so. Bsroiaadn 07:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Devils captains succession box
I've placed 'Scott Stevens' (only) as Elias' immediate predcessor. The Devils last captain (before Elias) was Scott Stevens, who retired September 2005 (Niedmayer only served Jan-Apr 2004, during Stevens's injury) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GoodDay (talk • contribs) 19:02, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

Patrik Eliáš → Patrik Elias — WP:UCN and WP:UE. The firse sentence of the article says it all: "Patrik Eliáš (English Patrik Elias" If his name in English is "Patrick Elias", as is clearly the case, then that's what we should prefer in the English Wikipedia. The cs.wikipedia obviously can and shoudl use "Patrik Eliáš", but this sort of thing where we use diacritics for the title and then state what the English version of the name here on en.wikipedia has always struck me as a bit odd. The redirect from "Patrik Eliáš" → "Patrick Elias" should of course be kept. — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 00:10, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose per current compromise. —Krm500 (Communicate!) 06:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm all for compromise, but the "current compromise" seems to be the problem, so it's hardly a compromise (besides, I honestly have no clue what the "current compromise" is...). — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 15:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Support this is the English Wikipedia, not the not-English-but-something-using-some-Latin-based-character-set Wikipedia. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 12:23, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment it should be easily solved with whatever the New Jersey area newspapers call him. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 12:25, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Exactly, which is always "Patrick Elias" (I can provide a deluge of cites if it's really needed). That's why I cited WP:UCN above. — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 15:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the standard at WP:HOCKEY that player pages keep their diacritics. Diacritics are a huge battlefield at the hockey project and this was a long time coming compromise on the situation. The compromise is located at HOCKEY. But to sum it up, its that all player pages keep diacritics because a proper name is a proper name and doesn't change with language. However, because the NHL and NA leagues don't put them on jerseys any page that has to do with hockey in North America like the New Jersey Devils page do not have them. But pages that are European or International in flavour do keep them, the Olympic hockey page for example. -DJSasso (talk) 21:31, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - You are inadvertently stepping into a huge pile of shit here, Ohm's Law. ;)  In general, I support the removal of diacritics per the fact that they aren't English, but there are hundreds, if not thousands, of articles like this.  I think the removal of diacritics in this fashion requires a much broader debate with a proper scope.  And, FWIW, the compromise Krm speaks of is internal to the hockey project after numerous diacritical wars.  In short, we hide them on North America specific articles, but show them on European and biographical articles.  Basically, a form of WP:ENGVAR in my view. Resolute 21:35, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Not to mention about half the editors on the wiki believe that diacritics are english. And that they are only left off by newspapers and the like due to former technical limitations and now just habit from the past. Diacritics are really a minefield that people need to tread lightly. Its a wikiwide war, not just at the hockey project but the hockey project found a way to stop the bickering, about 2 years back now and its been a pretty quiet ride since except for the odd pop of the situation by people who don't know about the current stale mate. -DJSasso (talk) 21:44, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, at least I understand the background a bit better now. It doesn't change my stance, though. I'm perfectly comfortable dealing with the "pile of shit", as long as people aren't intentionally disruptive about it. Regardless, no offense to those of you who identify with WikiProjects, but I don't give WikiProject specific "guidelines" much weight. In my experience most of them have been created in an Echo chamber, and they usually ignore or directly contradict general Wikipedia wide consensus (and this "compromise" definitely appears to qualify for that criticism). It's great that several of you have reached some sort of local consensus, but that doesn't really include myself or the next hundred editors who come along. If you want to carve out a specific exception for HOCKEY that's fine, but you should go and talk to everyone at WP:NAME in order to gain consensus to do so. Until and unless something like that happens, nothing is really "settled" (and, not to be thretening about it, but you're really opening yourselves and everyone else who tries to be involved here into larger disputes by pursuing the "the is the WikiProject solution" route. It's a real disservice to the encyclopedia as a whole, in my view).
 * Anyway, in terms of this article specifically (which is really all we're discussing right now), the case for a change seems fairly unassailable, if we use to general principles. Patrick is certainly Czech, but he's notable as a player on an NHL team, and he lives in New Jersey. He should not use diacritics in the title, and the article should be in AmEng, based on a "least surprise" principle expressed both in WP:UCN and WP:ENGVAR. — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 23:25, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. Our internal compromise exists only so long as it withstands a challenge from the community at large.  If you were to propose a guideline/MOS change at WP:NAME over this issue, I would support you.  I do believe, however, that DJ is right in stating that there would be equal opposition.  As to the dialect on the article itself, EN-UK or EN-CA has typically been used on European players, though I would not change an article if it was EN-US either.  Ultimately, I find the argument that it should be EN-US because he plays for an American team to be not at all compelling, as I find no value in changing dialects every time such a player is traded or signs with a team in a different country.  We've always tried to tie dialect to the player's nationality, as that ultimately remains their strongest tie, and it is generally set in stone.  This is, incidentally, an entirely separate debate from the usage of diacritics in my view. Resolute 00:00, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, this: "Ultimately, I find the argument that it should be EN-US because he plays for an American team to be not at all compelling, as I find no value in changing dialects every time such a player is traded or signs with a team in a different country." is where we disagree slightly. See, to me, the preponderance of coverage/notability is what matters. That's why I don't subscribe to anything that purports to be a universal solution to these issues. The question should be resolved on an individual article level because, while each instance will share certain commonalities with all others, each article is going to be unique for various reasons. In an instance such as this one, it seems fairly obvious to me where we should "geolocate" the article. I mean, like I said above there's no denying that he's Czech, and he did play for HC Kladno as a junior, but he's clearly notable as a star player for the New Jersey Devils. The article needs a lot more sourcing added to it, which I planned to do myself (looking back, it probably would have been better to do that first, but c'est la vie), but the preponderance of coverage for him is naturally American centric based on the simple fact that most primary coverage comes from The Star-Ledger, and other local and NHL oriented media. That's at least true right now, with the complete awareness that it may change at some future point (one of the great strengths of Wikipedia as a platform is that it can remain current at relatively low cost). This blanket decision to use diacritics where available creates conflict in individual cases such as this simply because it's ignoring the "real world" in favor of our often queer internal politics. — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 00:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * If it is nothing else, Wikipedia is a great example of queer internal politics. :)  As you say, this is where we diverge in opinion.  I would always use EN-CA for a Canadian player, always use EN-US for an American, and typically use EN-CA for a European player because it is natural to me.  But, if you created an article on a European using EN-US, I'd simply accept that and go with it for that article. Personally, I find basing the dialect on the nationality of the player to be the simplest solution that generates the least potential for conflict.  Not a perfect solution, of course, but it has worked for several years now.  Resolute 01:07, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * heh... it's only worked because trying to do anything else often tends to be shouted down with misconceived and unthinking cries of "Oppose WP:ENGVAR!". I'd like to simply point out that ENGVAR (currently, and historically to date) does have a section entitled "Strong national ties to a topic". One of the examples there is that Australian Defence Force ought to use EN-au, if anything. Probably more directly relevant here though would be the "Opportunities for commonality" section which, along with Naming conventions (use English), strongly suggests that the page title should avoid diacritics where the subject has any significant English language coverage (incidentally, if you want to see a real mess caused by this issue take a look at WikiProject Ireland and any of several articles in that project... ). — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 01:43, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That of course assumes that he is most strongly tied to New Jersey. And yes that is obviously where he became a star, but I bet if you asked someone from his home country where he is probably equally covered in the news what country he was most tied to they would say theirs. This is why we try to tie it to their nationality because its far more concrete a tie than trying to determine it by where they play or what not. For example what do you use if a player played an equal amount of time in Canada and the US. Its far more easy (and less POV in my opinion) to just use the country of their birth than to come up with a POV decision on where to draw the line that determines when they have been more notable in one place than another. But anyways thats about dialect and this is about diacritics so we are probably a bit off topic. As an amusing side note, if you are going to go with the idea of where they got the most media coverage, it would probably almost always be EN-CA because, and this is just an educated guess, Canada writes far more news articles on any given hockey player than anywhere else in the world. The couple NJ papers might write about something elias did but every paper in Canada will write about the same news bit, while I doubt all the americans ones would, since alot of teams have a hard enough time getting papers to write about their own teams never mind other teams. -DJSasso (talk) 04:33, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The Czech Republic is (A) not an English speaking locality (B) not legally English using locality; neither is Serbia, Germany or Iceland. I fail to see how WP:ENGVAR applies since they are not varieties of English, they are varieties of non-English. The diacritics arguments just get lots of users who are not English who argue for their local not-English conventions, which is how so many European articles end up using non-English grammar. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 05:27, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Believe it or not English is used in countries that speak other languages, papers are still published in other languages. I was just using this player as an example because its this page we are talking on, but the arguement stands for any player. I am English speaking and I don't even have any ancestors from any countries that you would call diactritic heavy countries. So please don't make assumptions. That would be like me assuming you don't like them because you are a xenophobe who doesn't like ways different than your own. I am sure you are not one, so its good not to make generalizations. And as far as diacritics go Patrik Eliáš is a proper name, and proper names don't generally get translated (or in this case transliterated) on wikipedia unless they use a alphabet that is non-latin. Just like if you go to the Czech Republic your name would still be spelled without diacrtics even if it should have them in their language, because that is not how you spell it. -DJSasso (talk) 05:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Just because English is used in those localities, does it actually form a variety of English that is clearly recognizable? And my problem with diacritics isn't because I'm a xenophobe, it's because it favours some non-English over other types of non-English, when a monoglot anglophone will even recognize those glyphs more than these Latin-derived-but-not-English characters. (ie. Greek letters are taught in High School science and maths, but are not allowed on Wikipedia for general titles, but we use eszett and thorns when they are not taught at all) - they favour non-English alphabets such as German or Serbian, over other non-English alphabets such as Arabic or Cyrillic unfairly. All non-English alphabets should be treated equally. I would ban non-ASCII characters (7-bit standard ASCII) for most purposes in titles, on usability grounds ... Wikipedia should be usuable on a Web-by-Email basis and 7-bit mail routers should be able to handle it. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 06:42, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * And as pointed out below, diacritics are used in English. Its a misconception that they are not. -DJSasso (talk) 05:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Howdy Ohms. IMHO, you should cancel this 'page move' request. GoodDay (talk) 21:46, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * aka, GoodDay supports your proposal. ;) Resolute 22:06, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Support - UCN and UE are compelling here. WikiProjects get to set their own standards, but they don't get to overrule wider policies.  The WP:HOCKEY statement is made ultra vires.  81.111.114.131 (talk) 22:19, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * FWIW, WP:HOCKEY has overruled no policy in this case as the battle over diacritics remains unsettled. There is no consensus policy on their use that I am aware of. Resolute 00:06, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:UE and WP:COMMONNAME say this should be a matter of using the name most commonly used in English-language sources. WP:HOCKEY carries a statement to the effect that diacritics must be used.  As in cases like this, it has the effect of contradicting our naming policies, and is therefore not within the power of the WikiProject to make such a statement. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 19:05, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Also please be aware that the fact that english doesn't use diacritics is incorrect. See wikt:Appendix:English words with diacritics for a list of some. So there is no reason to believe a proper name would not also keep them in English. -DJSasso (talk) 04:40, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a completely misleading argument, and the link provided should actually help settle the issue in favor of avoiding diacritics here on en.wikipedia generally, where possible. Diacritics are used in English for load words and for archaic words. Modern English has purposefully removed all diacritics, and the English alphabet does not include diacritics worldwide. This isn't even an engvar issue, since loan words and archaic English are not English. As I said in the opening of this, I'd be opposed to not using diacritics on say es.wikipedia just as much as I disfavor their use here on en.wikipedia. In this particular instance, this persons name is Patrick Elias in English, and Patrik Eliáš in Czech. That should be readily acknowledged in the lead of the article, as is appropriate in accordance with (IAW) WP:LEAD, but the article title should clearly be at the established English name IAW WP:UE and WP:UCN. — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 17:06, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Not really, this is a proper name, proper names don't translate through languages unless they are in a different non-latin alphabet. Removing diacritics is also not a translation, its a transliteration. His proper name includes diactritic, to remove them is to spell it incorrectly, people come to encyclopedias to get correct information, not information thats been warped. -DJSasso (talk) 18:52, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It's important to recognize that we're not the ones transliterating his name, and as a practice we should avoid doing that as much as possible (with obvious exceptions for non-latin languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, etc...). I definitely would not have started this, and I wouldn't support it, if others outside of Wikipedia didn't already transliterate his name in English publications. If The Star-Ledger, The Hockey News, and the other places where he has received the vast majority of his recognition from were to begin using, or had been using, "Patrik Eliáš" then this wouldn't be an issue. The reality of the situation is that he is pretty undeniably known as "Patrick Elias" in the English speaking world, and so insisting on the use of "Patrik Eliáš" can easily be perceived as polemic and unprofessional on our part. — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 19:56, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose - I don't think this should move for a variety of reasons. The most important is that this is his name. The NHL doesn't seem to support diacritics on the back of its jersey, but when he plays for the Czech national team his name is spelled with the diacritics. Why? That is his name, with the redirect without the diacritics being in place, I don't see the need. I see this as WP:IDONTLIKEIT, I'd say keep this as is. Since the characters are all part of the Latin font on here, I don't see a problem. If you start wanting to move names from Cyrillic languages to Cyrillic characters, then I can see the point. Just as an aside, Ohms law, I'd really recommend avoiding this subject. You really don't want the can of worms opened due to this. In the North American sports world, this is likely the secondly most hotly debated subject, outside of the merge of the Expos and Washington Nationals pages. A compromise was reached and it created peace, we don't need to start this war again. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 04:22, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * As a quick question: Is Elias' name actually spelled with diacritics on his international jersies? It seems very rare to me that they are used. Resolute 14:43, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I wonder if we could persuade Elias to drop his Czech citizenship & get his American citizenship. That's the only way the argument for moving this article, would be accepted. GoodDay (talk) 15:09, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't say for sure about czech, but I have seen them on Swedish and Finish and Russian players. -DJSasso (talk) 15:11, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Russian? Never. Never ever. As far as Elias goes, here's a pic link, and here, and no diacritics on the Czech team jersey.--Львівське (talk) 19:53, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I have too. GoodDay (talk) 15:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Czechs don't have them at the World Championship, but they do have them during the Euro Hockey Tour. Don't know if it has to do with the edge jersey which they only use at the World Championship/Olympics, the EHT jersey is a different style. —Krm500 (Communicate!) 15:24, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure that his Czech/international jersey, which would appropriately use Czech, uses Patrik Eliáš. I don't see what bearing that has on the issue here, aside from certain editors nationalist POV pushing issues. — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 17:09, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. While I support this move as opposed to defenceman, trust me when I say it's not worth the headaches and shitstorm that comes every single time the diacritics are brought up. --Smashvilletalk 20:49, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Trust me Ohms. When last I checked, the Wiki-hockey community was divided on the diacritics issue. Due to the division, we decided to compromise on the North American & Non-North American based articles. Let's maintaine the peace & tranquilty. GoodDay (talk) 20:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Both the above commenters, see WP:FORTHEPEOPLE. We should not be afraid of causing trouble, and we should especially not allow a debate to come to the wrong conclusion to avoid it.  Eggs and omelettes come to mind.  81.111.114.131 (talk) 19:05, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Causing trouble = desruption, which is something we all don't need on the ice hockey-related articles. There's simply no consensus either way on diacritics, therefore the WP:HOCKEY came up with a compromise to stop what would've been indefinite bickering on the topic. GoodDay (talk) 20:05, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * One could start by looking in the mirror. For one thing, the comments directed to me specifically, on this page, are not at all appreciated. If you want to say something to me personally then do so on my talk page. I've been around for quite a while, and I've seen this sort of thing before, so I know that the motivation behind posting those replies here is less then the most honest, so I'm asking nicely that you both please stop. As for the issue that "this subject is too contentious", we're all at fault for allowing that to happen. This is the sort of thing that happens when you ignore a problem. It only becomes worse over time. If you don't want to participate in the debate though, you're welcome to remain silent on the issue. The rest of us are perfectly capable of making decisions without you. Now, can we return to the issue at hand? — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 04:18, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually most of the people who have said it are probably your strongest supporters. You yourself need to stop assuming things and patronizing the people in the debate. Maybe you need to open your mind and actually think for a moment, that there is a reason people are telling you this. Sometimes they know that if you kick off this debate that you will then lead to 6 months of wars over other articles, people quitting wikipedia, us losing valuable editors etc etc etc. This has all happened in the past, sometimes there is a reason why situations exist, not just because we ignored, because we actively pursued this as the solution. Wikipedia is better served by current situation than by forcing change into a situation where it isn't actually needed except for a bias some hold. -DJSasso (talk) 14:55, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Believe me Ohms, nobody despises the usage of diacritics more then me (I've many witnesses to proove this). However, I've come to the realization that there'll likely never be a consensus for either the full inclusion or full exclusion. Thus my reasons for seeing another dispute as being a waste of time (at best), an all out fight (at worst). GoodDay (talk) 17:23, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * So, you've decided to be disruptive? Diacritics should neither be fully included nor fully excluded, since taking either extreme position would do wild amounts of damage to the encyclopedia. On the other hand, yourself, Djsasso, and WikiProject Ice Hockey have absolutely no authority to dictate to en.Wikipedia on the use of diacritics. At least after doing some research I can understand your own and Djsasso's unreasonable attitudes on this subject though. (incidentally Dj, your worth to the project is not tied in to this supposed "compromise" which you've held so near and dear for 2+ years now.) Anyway, regardless of the outcome here the need for wider discussion on this issue is obvious. This has been building up for some now, so its about time that we discuss it and reach an actual solution on the issue. — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 04:16, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think that is a fair characterization of either GoodDay or DJ myself. Lets keep focused on the topic, not the individuals. The reasonability of an argument is in the eye of the beholder.  Incidentally, could you wait until the weekend to launch the great diacritic debate?  In theory, I'm participating in the dramaout, and would hate to have to join in that debate a little late.  ;o) Resolute 04:30, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, can you get more condescending? Please comment on the proposal and not the editors. -DJSasso (talk) 12:19, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * And just for the record I think you misunderstand our comments, I would and I am sure the others also agree, that we would love for a wikiwide consensus to come about on the situation. We don't think we can dictate to the wiki at all. It's just that this has gone to a wiki wide discussion a few times and every time its shot down as no consensus. So in order to atleast have some order in our corner of the wiki we came up with this solution. Maybe its not a solution you like, and that is fine. But to say we are trying to dictate to the wiki how to do things is wrong.

Mimosa tenuiflora

Mimosa tenuiflora, syn. Mimosa hostilis, also known as jurema preta, calumbi (Brazil), tepezcohuite (México), carbonal, cabrera, jurema, black jurema, and binho de jurema, is a perennial tree or shrub native to the northeastern region of Brazil (Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Pernambuco, Bahia) and found as far north as southern Mexico (Oaxaca and coast of Chiapas), and the following countries: El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Colombia and Venezuela. It is most often found in lower altitudes, but it can be found as high as 1000 m.

Description
The fern-like branches have leaves that are Mimosa like, finely pinnate, growing to 5 cm long. Each compound leaf contains 15–33 pairs of bright green leaflets 5–6 mm long. The tree itself grows up to 8 m tall and it can reach 4–5 m tall in less than 5 years. The white, fragrant flowers occur in loosely cylindrical spikes 4–8 cm long. In the Northern Hemisphere it blossoms and produces fruit from November to June or July. In the Southern Hemisphere it blooms primarily from September to January. The fruit is brittle and averages 2.5–5 cm long. Each pod contains 4–6 seeds that are oval, flat, light brown and 3–4 mm in diameter. There are about 145 seeds/1 g. In the Southern Hemisphere, the fruit ripens from February to April.

The tree's bark is dark brown to gray. It splits lengthwise and the inside is reddish brown.

The tree's wood is dark reddish brown with a yellow center. It is very dense, durable and strong, having a density of about 1.11 g/cm3.

Mimosa tenuiflora does very well after a forest fire, or other major ecological disturbance. It is a prolific pioneer plant. It drops its leaves on the ground, continuously forming a thin layer of mulch and eventually humus. Along with its ability to fix nitrogen, the tree conditions the soil, making it ready for other plant species to come along.

Medicinal uses
A tea made of the leaves and stem has been used to treat tooth pain. For cases of cough and bronchitis, a water extract (decoction) of Mimosa tenuiflora is drunk. A handful of bark in one liter of water is used by itself or in a syrup. The solution is drunk until the symptoms subside.

One preliminary clinical study found Mimosa tenuiflora to be effective in treating venous leg ulcerations.

Aqueous extracts of Mimosa are widely used for wound healing and burns in Middle and South America. Consequently, the products of the plant (generally grouped under the term "Tepezcohuite") have become a popular and easily produced cosmetic ingredient in commercial skincare products, used and marketed by celebrities including Kylie Jenner and Salma Hayek.

Other uses
The tree is an acceptable source of forage or fodder for animals, providing vital protein and other nutrients. It does well in the dry season and in drought, while providing life saving food for local livestock and animals. Cows, goats and sheep eat the pods and leaves. There seems to be evidence that Mimosa tenuiflora forage or fodder cause development defects to pregnant ruminants in Brazil.

The tree is an important source of forage for bees, especially during the dry season and in the beginning of the wet season.

Like most plants in the family Fabaceae, Mimosa tenuiflora fertilizes the soil via nitrogen fixing bacteria. The tree is useful in fighting soil erosion and for reforestation.

Mimosa tenuiflora is a very good source of fuel wood and works very well for making posts, most likely because of its high tannin content (16% ), which protects it from rot. Due to its high tannin content, the bark of the tree is widely used as a natural dye and in leather production. It is used to make bridges, buildings, fences, furniture and wheels. It is an excellent source of charcoal and at least one study has been done to see why this is the case.

The healing properties of the tree make it useful in treating domestic animals. A solution of the leaves or bark can also be used for washing animals in the prevention of parasites. Because the tree keeps most of its leaves during the dry season, it is an important source of shade for animals and plants during that time.

Chemistry
The bark is known to be rich in tannins, saponins, alkaloids, lipids, phytosterols, glucosides, xylose, rhamnose, arabinose, lupeol, methoxychalcones, and kukulkanins. Additionally, Mimosa tenuiflora contains labdane diterpenoids.

Entheogenic uses
Mimosa tenuiflora is an entheogen used by the Jurema Cult (O Culto da Jurema) in northeastern Brazil. Dried Mexican Mimosa tenuiflora root bark has been shown to have a dimethyltryptamine (DMT) content of about 1-1.7%. The stem bark has about 0.03% DMT.

The parts of the tree are traditionally used in northeastern Brazil in a psychoactive decoction also called Jurema or Yurema. Analogously, the traditional Western Amazonian sacrament Ayahuasca is brewed from indigenous ayahuasca vines. However, to date no β-carbolines such as harmala alkaloids have been detected in Mimosa tenuiflora decoctions, yet the Jurema is used in combination with several plants.

This presents challenges to the pharmacological understanding of how DMT from the plant is rendered orally active as an entheogen, because the psychoactivity of ingested DMT requires the presence of a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), such as a β-carboline. If an MAOI is neither present in the plant nor added to the mixture, the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) will metabolize DMT in the human gut, preventing the active molecule from entering the blood and brain.

The plant is also used in clandestine manufacture of crystalline DMT. In this form, it is psychoactive by itself when vaporized and inhaled.

The isolation of the chemical compound yuremamine from Mimosa tenuiflora as reported in 2005 represents a new class of phytoindoles, which may explain an apparent oral activity of DMT in Jurema.

Cultivation
For outside planting, USDA Zone 9 or higher is recommended.

In nature, Mimosa tenuiflora "[...] fruits and seeds are disseminated by the wind in a radius of 5–8 m from the mother plant; rain carries them from slopes to lower plains and human activities contribute to their dissemination."

For cultivation, the seed pods are collected once they start to spontaneously open on the tree. The collected pods are laid out in the sun so that the pods open up and release their seeds. The seeds can then be planted in sandy soil with sun exposure.

Scarification of the seed via mechanical means or by using sulfuric acid greatly increases the germination rate of the seeds over non-treatment. The seeds can be sown directly into holes in the ground or planted in prepared areas.

The seeds can germinate in temperatures ranging from 10 to 30 °C, but the highest germination rate occurs at around 25 °C (about 96%), even after four years of storage. Germination takes about 2–4 weeks.

It is also possible to propagate Mimosa tenuiflora via cuttings.

Trimming adult Mimosa tenuiflorae during the rainy season is not recommended as it can kill them.

United Nations

Internationally, mescaline, DMT, and psilocin, are Schedule I drugs under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances. The Commentary on the Convention on Psychotropic Substances notes, however, that the plants containing them are not subject to international control:

"The cultivation of plants from which psychotropic substances are obtained is not controlled by the Vienna Convention... Neither the crown (fruit, mescal button) of the Peyote cactus nor the roots of the plant Mimosa hostilis nor Psilocybe mushrooms themselves are included in Schedule 1, but only their respective principals, mescaline, DMT, and psilocin."

Battle of Cook's Mills

The Battle of Cook's Mills was the last engagement between U.S. and British armies in the Niagara, and the penultimate engagement (followed by the Battle of Malcolm's Mills) on Canadian soil during the War of 1812. After a battle lasting less than an hour, American forces out-maneuvered the British column, and later destroyed all grain found in the mill.

Background
General Gordon Drummond had lifted the Siege of Fort Erie on 21 September 1814, and withdrew to a strong defensive position at Fort Chippawa on the north bank of Chippawa Creek. An American division under Major General George Izard had marched overland from Plattsburgh, New York to reinforce the Americans at Fort Erie (commanded by Major General Jacob Brown). Being the senior Major General, Izard took command of the combined force. The more aggressive Brown wished to attack Drummond immediately, with the combined force numbering 6,300. Izard chose not to risk the casualties of attacking a strong defensive position. Angered at Izard's lack of action, Brown left with his division (half the army's strength) and marched to Sacketts Harbor, New York, where a British attack was feared.

Izard finally marched north to Chippawa Creek. The creek was unfordable, and the bridge had been destroyed. During 16 October, his artillery exchanged fire with the British, without effect.

Battle

Attempting to deprive the British of their chief source of flour, Izard sent a brigade of about 1,200 men, consisting of the 5th, 14th, 15th and 16th U.S. Infantry with some detachments of riflemen and U.S. Dragoons under Brigadier General Daniel Bissell, to take Cooks Mills on Lyon's Creek in Crowland township. In response, Drummond dispatched about 750 men (the 6th Regiment, the Glengarry Light Infantry and the flank companies of the 104th Regiment, with a 6-pounder gun and a Congreve rocket detachment) under Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Myers to reconnoitre the American force.

On the morning of 19 October, Myers came into contact with the American picket just east of the mills. A half-hour fight ensued, but the Americans could not be lured from the cover of the woods. Observing American soldiers moving through the trees on his right and left, Myers feared he was being out-manoeuvred. He eventually ordered an orderly retreat. The Americans pursued his column nearly to their camp at the Lyon's Creek settlement. Returning to Cooks Mills, the Americans destroyed all the grain found in the mill. Their dead, approximately a dozen soldiers, were interred in shallow pits at the Yokom farmhouse near the mills. The next day they withdrew to their camp at Black Creek.

Aftermath
The battle showed the effects of Izard's well trained troops. Despite this minor victory, it became apparent that Drummond was not going to move from his defences. Izard also heard that British ships dominated Lake Ontario, and any American advance risked being cut off by a landing in its rear. He withdrew to Fort Erie. The British loss of 200 bushels of wheat was offset when several American provision boats crossed the Niagara unaware of Izard's retreat and fell into British hands.

Izard later destroyed Fort Erie and returned to the U.S. side of the river. Drummond moved to the remains of the fort but chose not to rebuild it, and the fighting along the Niagara Frontier came to an end.

The site of the battle was designated a National Historic Site in 1921, and is a unit of the national park system. A federal cairn were erected in 1923, and the current plaque replaced the original on the cairn in 1977. Bicentennial commemorations in 2014 included construction of a visitors’ plaza and the unveiling of interpretive markers.

Eight active regular battalions of the United States Army (1-2 Inf, 2-2 Inf, 1-3 Inf, 2-3 Inf, 4-3 Inf, 1-4 Inf, 2-4 Inf and 3-4 Inf) perpetuate the lineages of a number of American infantry regiments (the old 5th, 14th and 16th Infantry Regiments) that took part in the battle.

Stoughton Musical Society

Organized in 1786 as The Stoughton Musical Society, it is America's oldest performing musical organization. For over two centuries it has had many distinguished accomplishments. In 1908, when incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the name was changed to Old Stoughton Musical Society and it has retained that designation.

Early years
From the inspiration of a singing school given in Stoughton in 1774 by Boston composer, William Billings, a group of male singers in town decided to form a singing society. There were 25 names and all of them listed in the membership journal with the date of organization being November 7, 1786. Their first President was Elijah Dunbar, 1740–1814, from Canton. He was also their conductor and a singer. The first music collection the musical society purchased was The Worcester Collection of Sacred Harmony compiled by Isaiah Thomas in 1786, which contained the first American printing of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah.

Singing contest
According to the musical society's 1929 history book, the Stoughton singers met a chorus from the nearby First Parish Church in Dorchester about the year 1790. This is believed to be the first singing contest held in America. The Dorchester chorus consisting of men and women were accompanied by a bass viol, the Stoughton Musical Society had twenty selected male voices and sang without accompaniment. The Stoughton singers first performed Jacob French's anthem, The Heavenly Vision, which they performed from memory. Next, the Dorchester chorus performed an unidentified piece. Then the Stoughton singers performed Handel's majestic Hallelujah Chorus from his oratorio, Messiah, from memory and without any instrumental accompaniment. Following that performance, the Dorchester chorus acknowledged defeat and the Stoughton singers won the contest. .

Centennial celebration
On June 9, 1886, the Stoughton Musical Society celebrated its centennial with a full day of activities including a special dinner and an evening concert attended by both Governor George D. Robinson and Lieutenant Governor Oliver Ames. Gov. Robinson spoke glowingly about this centennial concert, ending with these remarks: "Let me commend, so far as my opinion can possibly extend, the fine production of this evening. It has afforded me real delight." The featured work for the concert was Haydn's oratorio, The Creation, for soloists, chorus and orchestra.

World's fair concerts
One of their greatest achievements took place at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. The Stoughton Musical Society's 100 musicians performed two concerts in the Music Hall. Both the singers and orchestra wore Colonial costumes. At the first concert on August 14, there were 2,000 people in attendance, more than had attended the symphony concerts conducted by Theodore Thomas. The music performed by the musical society consisted of 24 pieces by such 18th century New England composers as: William Billings, Oliver Holden, Jacob French, and Daniel Read. Some of these composers were later recorded by the Stoughton Musical Society on their LP album in 1975 titled "An Appeal to Heaven."

Bicentennial celebration
The Old Stoughton Musical Society celebrated with a concert again featuring Haydn's Creation. The concert was held on November 7, 1986, exactly two hundred years after its founding date. Letters of congratulation were received from President Ronald Reagan, a Proclamation naming the concert date as "Old Stoughton Musical Society Day" in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, signed by Governor Michael S. Dukakis, and an entry in the Congressional Record by Congressperson Joe Moakley of Massachusetts. A commemorative program was published which included "Notes from the Past", pictures of the chorus, and a hymn written by Bicentennial Chairman Roger L. Hall.

The small town of Stoughton has produced a number of composers who have written music performed by the Stoughton Musical Society and other performing organizations:
 * 18th century
 * Supply Belcher, b. 1751/ d. 1836 (Farmington, Maine)

 * No edit wars etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

 * 1) ✅ The Personal Life section definitely needs some expansion and, as a contemporary and living figure, there should be plenty of information about him out there. Who were his parents? What was his childhood like? Where did he go to school? Did he attend college or university? When did he begin playing hockey? How did he get into hockey? How did he meet Rebecca and who is she? What does she do? You don't have to answer all of these questions, of course, especially if the information isn't available, but these are the types of questions that can help you start thinking of ways to expand the article.
 * 2) The second "paragraph" (which is really only a single sentence) should be expanded to include other accomplishments or information, per WP:LEAD, which requires the lead to be a full summary of the contents of the article. Once the Personal Life section is expanded, you can put some of that information in the lead and move some of what was formerly the second paragraph (that I merged into the first one) into the current second paragraph.
 * 3) Some statements require citations:
 * ✅ "Brewer finished his rookie season with 11 points in 63 games, a respectable mark for any rookie defencemen; however, Brewer's 1999-00 NHL season was not as productive. With only 2 assists in 26 games, Brewer spent a large portion of the season with the Islanders' AHL affiliate, the Lowell Lock Monsters." (New York Islanders)
 * ✅ "Despite the new contract, Brewer was unable to play it out as a result of the 2004-05 NHL Lockout." (Edmonton Oilers – and yes, I know this seems obvious to hockey fans in this day and age, but non-hockey fans 100 years from now might not find it obvious at all)
 * Both awards.
 * 1) The link to his statistics, while not requiring an in-line citation, should be under "References" rather than "External links."
 * 2) ✅ "International play" (but not International Statistics) should be placed before "Awards" and "Transactions" to allow the prose to flow.
 * 3) ✅ Reference #23 doesn't seem to lead anywhere for me.

To allow for these changes to be made, I am putting the article on hold for a period of up to seven days, after which it may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. Cheers, CP 04:44, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Well the hold is up today, and it looks like all of my concerns have been address (I see now that the awards are referenced earlier in the prose and that I was wrong about the stats referencing). I still recommend expanding the lead slightly to include another fact or two, since the second paragraph of the lead is only two sentences long, but as it stands, I feel alright with passing this as a Good Article. Congratulations, and thank you for your efforts! Cheers, CP 15:27, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Gethin Jenkins

Gethin Jenkins (born 17 November 1980) is a Welsh former professional rugby union player who played as a prop for Pontypridd, Celtic Warriors, Cardiff Blues and Toulon. At international level, he won 129 caps for Wales. On his 105th appearance in 2014, he became Wales' most-capped player, overtaking the record held by Stephen Jones; having earned his final cap in November 2016, his record was surpassed by Alun Wyn Jones in September 2019. He is one of a small group of Welsh players to have won three Grand Slams. He also won five caps for the British & Irish Lions on three tours in 2005, 2009 and 2013. He is the sixth most-capped player in rugby union history and the most-capped front-row forward.

He retired from professional rugby union in November 2018 after struggling with a chronic knee injury. After retirement, he had a number of coaching positions with the Blues and Cardiff RFC. Following some poor performances by Wales in 2020, he joined Wayne Pivac's backroom staff as the national team's defence coach.

Early career
Educated at Llwyncrwn Primary School and Bryn Celynnog Comprehensive School in Beddau, Jenkins first played rugby union aged 13 at Beddau RFC based in Pontypridd.

Club career
Jenkins played his youth rugby at Pontypridd and captained his side to a Welsh Cup title in 1998. He became a regular first-team player and was a key figure in highly successful 2000–2003 Pontypridd team that won the final Principality Cup of the pre-regional era and narrowly losing to Sale Sharks in the final of the Parker Pen Shield competition. The 2002 Pontypridd forwards that Jenkins played alongside were the basis of the pack that led Wales to Grand Slam success in 2005, with ex-Pontypridd players making up six of the eight forwards. Following the introduction of Welsh regional rugby, Jenkins joined the Celtic Warriors. When the Warriors folded after just one season, Jenkins signed for the Cardiff Blues.

At the Cardiff Blues he won the Amlin Challenge Cup, and reached the Heineken Cup semi final. After an impressive World Cup 2011, his signature was hotly sought after with Bath, Perpignan and Toulon all chasing a deal for the prop. Jenkins joined French Top 14 side Toulon for the 2012-13 season.

Jenkins became the ninth Welshman to win a Heineken Cup with Toulon when he played as a replacement in the final against Clermont Auvergne. Jenkins is only the second Welsh player (along with Rob Howley) to win both European cups, after winning the Amlin Challenge Cup in 2010 with the Cardiff Blues and the Heineken Cup with Toulon in 2013.

Wales
Jenkins made his first appearance for Wales against Romania in 2002. In the 2005 Six Nations Championship he was rated one of the greatest influences in Wales' Grand Slam winning side, scoring a memorable try against Ireland.

In November 2007 Jenkins was asked to captain Wales against South Africa by Welsh temporary coach Nigel Davies. His reign as captain would last just one game as in December Wales hired Warren Gatland as coach who gave the captaincy to Ryan Jones. However Jenkins kept his place in the squad solidifying himself as number one choice for the #1 jersey.

Jenkins captained Wales against Australia on 28 November 2009 following the withdrawal of regular captain Ryan Jones from the squad due to injury.

Jenkins captained Wales in their last game of the 2013 six nations championship in Cardiff. Wales defeated England 30-3 to win the Championship. On 30 November 2013 versus Australia Jenkins became the most capped forward for Wales, surpassing Pontypridd and Cardiff team-mate Martyn Williams record of 100 caps. On 15 March 2014 versus Scotland he became the most capped player for Wales, overtaking the record of 104 caps held by Stephen Jones.

Jenkins became the world's most capped prop forward ever on 29 August 2015 versus Ireland, overtaking the record of 119 caps held by Jason Leonard.

Gethin Jenkins took part in both the 2016 Six Nations and the Wales tour to New Zealand. Jenkins also captained Wales during the 2016 Autumn internationals.

British & Irish Lions
Jenkins was selected for the British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand in 2005 and played in all three tests.

On 21 April 2009, Jenkins was named as a member of the British & Irish Lions for the 2009 tour to South Africa.

In June 2009 Jenkins, Adam Jones and Matthew Rees were selected as the British & Irish Lions front row for the second Test against South Africa. This was the first time an all-Welsh front row was selected for a Lions test match since Billy Williams, Bryn Meredith and Courtney Meredith on the 1955 Lions tour.

Jenkins was selected for the British & Irish Lions for the 2013 tour for the third time, but withdrew due to injury. He narrowly missed out on selection for the 2017 Tour to New Zealand following his knee injury issues.

Coaching career
Jenkins began his coaching career as defence coach for Cardiff RFC, while still playing for Cardiff Blues.

In 2020, he assisted with Wales U20, as a defence coach, before joining up with the senior side ahead of the 2020 Autumn Nations Series, as a technical coach.

Ahead of the 2021 Six Nations, his role was made permanent, becoming the full time defence coach.

Style
Jenkins usual position is loosehead prop but he has also played in the tighthead prop position. He was one of the "new-breed" of front-rows, known for his speed, fitness and turnover ability, however some criticism was made of his scrummaging at times during his career.

Despite his stern on-field persona, he was a well-respected and well-liked player, commonly referred to as "Melon".

Rugby league
Jenkins has also played rugby league, making regular appearances for Cardiff Demons in the late 1990s leading them to the 1998 Division Two Academy Grand Final.

Raúl Azcárraga Vidaurreta

Raúl Azcárraga Vidaurreta (6 August 1891 – 2 July 1971) was a Mexican businessman and broadcasting pioneer from Piedras Negras, Coahuila.

In February 1923, he started transmitting trial radio signals from his business office located in Avenida Juárez, in Mexico City, using a 50-watt transmitter. After the success of the transmissions, Azcárraga and Mexico City's newspaper El Universal made an agreement to operate jointly the radio station.

On 8 May 1923, the newspaper issued the following statement: "As the big American newspapers do, El Universal is now using a powerful radio station to broadcast its news. It is located in the heart of the [Mexican] Republic." The inaugural broadcast was transmitted that same day.

This venture would provide the capital for the radio station that would shape Mexican communications for years to come, XEW, started in 1930. It was initially owned by Azcárraga but later passed on to his brother Emilio, who would in time set his own broadcasting legacy by starting Televisa.

Talk:Convention of 1800

Guarantees about fishing rights
''That French fishing rights off Newfoundland and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence were to be guaranteed. (ARTICLE XXVII.)'' Those were British possessions, so why did such guarantees show up in a treaty that didn't involve Britain? Nik42 20:27, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The text of the treaty says that: Neither party will intermeddle in the Fisheries of the other on it's coast nor disturb the other in the exercise of the rights. Which it now holds or may acquire c the coast of Newfoundland, in the Glulph of Saint Lawrence or elsewhere on the American cons northward of the United States But the whale and seal Fisheries. shall be free to both in every quarter of the world. My guess is that, from the way this reads, the French were expecting to gain those rights in a future treaty with Great Britain (with whom they were also negotiating at the time), and wanted a pledge from the U.S. in writing not to interfere with French fishing vessels in that area. 74.251.200.216 03:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering if that shouldn't be only as Russian. He was born in the USSR and he always represented Russia on the international stage. His career started when he was a Russian citizen. He did not get US citizenship until 2001. 13Sundin (talk) 18:37, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
