Talk:Khaira, Ludhiana

Creating editor note from 2005
hi its ajay who added this page if you are having extra information please add.

-Ajay

There is very little encyclopaedic content here
I think the multiple-issues flags make it adequately clear that this is not a great article, and that all the content should be taken with a large dose of extreme caution.

That said, I am going to use my editorial hatchet. Since this is the English language Wikipedia, this article will probably be far more limited than might be desired... but disputed content cited to non-English-language sources is probably going to be difficult to support. And the unsourced content really needs to go.- sinneed (talk) 20:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The article needs complete rewrite. There are some really dubious claims and poorly referenced material in this. I have removed links to Punjabi alphabet sites used as references several times now. Using dead links deliberately or links to non-existent refrences is considered very poor practice. Please stop this.--Sikh-history (talk) 21:18, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Please do not remove the references, but instead simply flag them to let the adding editor have a chance to repair them. If the problems are not addressed, the information cited to it can simply be killed, say, tomorrow.- sinneed (talk) 21:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Sources - discuss
It appears that some of these sources are dead links. While dead links that once worked and stopped should not be thrown away, a link that is dead when added should not be left in the article.

It appears that some of these are dictionaries. We are not looking for a source for a definition of a word, but for historical fact. Please correct the flagged reference, and if it points to a dictionary, please provide a quote which support the historical statement the citation covers.- sinneed (talk) 21:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Cut the Villages section.
See wp:lists. If we need a list, an article can be created, but I don't think it will have notability. Better would be to create a category for "Khaira-related villages" and attach it to any such village articles, once they are created. But I am dubious that there will be enough notability for even the category to survive, much less the villages.- sinneed (talk) 22:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Unsourced content - couple of days
I'll cut most everything that isn't sourced in a couple of days. I have cleaned up the writing where I could comprehend what was intended to be said... but some of it was simply incomprehensible to me. Please fact-check and source.- sinneed (talk) 22:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Reference need ISBN Number and Quotation of Text
I am dubious about the references. The references used here are incredibly poor. We need to know what the actually say. The Mahan Kosh reference is just ludicrous and an insult to Wikipedia.--Sikh-history (talk) 10:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Historical references to Khairas

 * "Mahima"(ਮਹਿਮਾ) named Sikh of Guru Angad Dev. He belonged to the Jatt Khaira clan.
 * Himachali rajputs of Jaheer Chand clan. Jaheer Chand was the son of Tara Chand, the king of Kehloor at the time of Guru Har Gobind).
 * Baba Deep Singh Shaheed (ਬਾਬਾ ਦੀਪਸਿੰਘ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ) was jatt Khara by caste.
 * Pooran Bhagat da Kissa(English Story of Pooran Bhagat) was written by Jagat Singh Khaara.

I cut all this to talk to keep from losing it. It is a list, and if it needs to be included, it needs to be text, and needs to make clear why these individual are interesting to wp. They also need much better sourcing. This source does not appear valid. If it is readded with this source, a quote will be required for each or I feel compelled to remove the content again. Very dubious.- sinneed (talk) 13:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Baba Deep Singh
I am going to kill the references to Deep Singh. If he is a Khaira, that would be great to add, with SOLID sourcing, to his article. Then we can simply wikilink it from here.- sinneed (talk) 13:48, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Cut to talk for possible inclusion.
One of the Misls ruling over Punjab in the late 17th century was one of Khairas numbering 5,000 horsemen lead by no other than Baba Deep Singh who was entrusted with the Shaheedan Misl who had had gone to avenge the attack on the golden temple lead by the afghan army they had all given their lives at the battle of Amritsar defeating the Afghans who had attacked the Golden temple. This will require a thorough rewrite and strong source, including quote(s).- sinneed (talk) 13:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Religion of the Khaira people? Cut to talk.
Khaira are largely adherents of the Sikh faith. People with the Khaira/Khara surname are Sikhs. There are indications that Khaira were Pagans, then Hindu, and later Sikhs. There is also a significant Muslim population of Kheras in Pakistan, Punjab mainly concentrated in the Kasur and Lahore region.

I am dubious of an entire clan group being characterized by religion. This would need thorough sourcing to be readded, IMO. - sinneed (talk) 20:04, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Cut to talk for possible inclusion
The British described Khaira as a powerful and united, but quarrelsome tribe.
 * This needs better sourcing, and a rewrite. I can't support it as is.  Been flagged a bit.- sinneed (talk) 15:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

The Khaira gotra once numbered roughly ten times its current population, but suffered great losses in the armies of the Khalsa and World War I and World War II.
 * Source does not mention the Khaira, does not cover the time period of the statement. This needs thorough sourcing, and has been flagged for a bit.- sinneed (talk) 15:25, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

With the decline of the Mughal empire, there was a power vacuum eventually filled by the sikhs giving rise to the Khalsa Army so during the times of Banda Singh Bahadur, the Khaira sikhs had joined the Khalsa and fought alongside them against Islamic rule.
 * Source does not mention the Khaira. It does talk about these events, so this would be a good source about the rise of Dal Khalsa, but it will need some tie to the Khaira.- sinneed (talk) 15:35, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I am going to wp:be bold
...and remove all but the refimprove flag from the article. If anyone disagrees, please revert my edit, and accept my apology.- sinneed (talk) 15:38, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Are any of the remaining dubious or citation needed points critical?
Or are they ok as is until someone interested and knowledgeable finds a source and improves things? That is, are there any strong objections to the article as-is?- sinneed (talk) 22:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I would like to find reliable sources for them in the article to back them up further.i think they should be ok until improvements are made...

Misterconginialtastical (talk) 23:11, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Misterconginialtastical is probably the most qualified for this. I will also ask my own relatives who are from teh Khaira clan. Thanks --Sikh-history (talk) 11:47, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Removed material
I have removed the material added in these edits from the following reason. While most of the material is in Punjabi, which I don't speak, some of it was not, and the sources I could find and understand did not mention Khaira in any way. Furthermore, the text was in such poor English, some of it was illegible and useless (e.g. Famous "Mahima"(Punjabi: ਮਹਿਮਾ) named Sikh of Guru Angad Dev. What does it mean?). a precautionary move, I reverted the entire edit, but I invite other editors to restore it, with proper sources, and in proper English. --Muhandes (talk) 11:54, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Perth Airport

Table
I have inserted a table that WikiProject Airports are trying to make standard, and that I am adding to all Australian airport articles. I have completed the table but for an appropriate image. There was none of the airport in the article for me to use, so I've placed a temporary picture of Perth (from that article). Perhaps somebody could source and upload an appropriate image for use.--Cyberjunkie 09:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * don't they have a proper parameterized template yet? it would really help keep them in sync and keep all the wikitable syntax out of the article itself.   if not, it should be created at template:Infobox Airport (i think they had a test version at template:Tmp which could be moved there). clarkk 10:32, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm not participating in WikiProject Airports. I just stumbled across it and figured the table would be a worthwhile addition to the major Australian airports. As far as I'm aware, they are only in 'testing stage' (note the notice at end of table). There are at least three different tables being trialed. I took the one the Canadian and UK Wikipedians are using, and customised it for Australian airports, incorporating some aspects of the US table. Maybe I should just create a template for the Australian airports, and let WikiProject Airports do as they wish.--Cyberjunkie 10:49, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * i would start an australian one (keep it consistent with the other one as much as possible), and ultimately they may choose to adopt the australian one as the standard (or base the standard on it). either way it would be good to have a standard one at least for the oz airports (like i did with template:Infobox Australian University. clarkk 11:42, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've created a template under Template:Infobox Australian Airport. It being the first large template I've ever attempted, it needs a bit of a fix-up. Would you be able to check the syntax? I'm having a hard time with coordinates in particular. And I've just realised that not all airports have two runways - Sydney has three. Does this mean all templates must have space for three runways, even if they only have two?--Cyberjunkie 14:16, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I added two sentences to the end of "Introduction of A380." I think people will find it interesting. -Amit, 07/04/05

Serious doubts about becoming Perth International Airport in 1952 - need proof! Sure it was Guildford Aerodrome then!User:SatuSuro 13:03, 18 May 2006 (UTC) oops but ok - maybe it was 'official' then! User:SatuSuro

Direct Perth/London link
I might be wrong here, but there is a comment in here about the A340-500 being able to do Perth-London direct, which is true for sure, but shouldn't it be amended to say that "it is currently considered uneconomical", otherwise it would've happend by now?qwertytam 05:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Fog
I have removed a section on fog, which claimed, without sources, that the nearest alternate airport for a heavy jet would be RAAF Learmonth. This seems incorrect, as RAAF Pearce's runway is sometimes used by USAF C-5 Galaxies. Also see ERSA entries for the airports: http://www.airservices.gov.au/publications/current/ersa/FAC_YPEA_15-Mar-2007.pdf; http://www.airservices.gov.au/publications/current/ersa/FAC_YPPH_15-Mar-2007.pdf. --Chewy m 15:04, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

From my understanding Learmonth is the nearest alternate for a certain class of heavies. This article on Kalgoorlie is the only source I could find from a quick search - http://www.abc.net.au/northwestwa/news/200312/s1015791.htm

I couldn't open your links. RAAF Pearce by my understanding is too short for many jets and being relatively close to Perth may be under the same restricting conditions that YPPH may be experiencing (low cloud/ fog etc), making it a poor location as an alternate.

The C-5 as you noted is able to participate at Pearce due to its amazing ability to takeoff and land on very short runways - even when fully loaded. I will reinstate the section on fog with a few edits (any suggestions appreciated) and find a better source in the next week or two :) Hoxygt 02:04, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Virgin Atlantic
Ok, this is the third time I have had to revert information relating to them on this article so it's now time to include it on the talk page. For those of you wanting to add information regarding a planned route from London to Perth using the 787 Dreamliners purchased by the company in April - listen up! The airline never made any such commitment to fly the PER-LHR route non-stop. The announcement only indicated that the aircraft in question enabled them to fly such routes including Hawaii to London non-stop. Let me repeat, no firm commitment or suggestion was made they were going to or had plans to fly the route. Thank you Thewinchester (talk) 10:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

 * If you're concerned the airline has not announced anything concrete yet, you could edit the offending text to clarify rather than reverting. This would not be out of place in this article - the section on the A380 is also speculative. Although the Virgin Atlantic press release did not say anything specific, both The Times (David Robertson, "Virgin orders Dreamliners for non-stop flight to Perth", 25 April 2007) and The Sunday Mirror ("Trade Update" - 29 April 2007) indicated immediate plans for flights to Perth. Cheers. --Chewy m 04:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Due respect, but the articles didn't indicate anything like that. From all the trade and other press reports I was able to read regarding this (and there was quite a few), the consensus was that airline made no commitment or demonstration of intent whatsoever to fly the route, either direct or implied. The key here is that they said they only had the capability to fly the routes in question upon receipt of the ordered aircraft, nothing more, nothing less. To include as you suggest the information in any form would be inappropriate, as it's purely speculative, the authors have quoted the statements made by Branson clearly out of context, thus leaving no reliable sources that can be used to substantiate the claims. Oh, and to put this to bed once and for all - Virgin Atlantic could not fly these aircraft to Australia even if they wanted to at this point in time, simply because of their marketing and licensing agreement with SIA, who has sole right to use the Virgin Atlantic name within the Asia-Pacific region (which is why Virgin Blue is named as it it). SIA would have to purchase these jets, and they would be flown under their existing code share arrangement with VA, under the SIA banner, unless in some planet aligning moment of common sense VA changed it's conditions of contract allowing them to fly their planes in VA livery. Thewinchester (talk) 04:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Not suggesting what you're saying is incorrect, but could you cite these these trade/press reports? Just seems that if The Times is going to be excluded for being an unreliable source, that unreliability should be verifiable. Given that it the Dreamliner section is speculative, do you agree that the "Introduction of the A380" section should also be removed? Thanks --Chewy m 05:46, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Now that you mention it, yes - it should be deleted. Would you like the honours, or shall I? Thewinchester (talk) 06:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Perth International Airport
Does: Perth Airport Flying international flights? How much foreign destination to arrive nonstop? Which above? If yes, why that not Perth International Airport. just airport if no longer offer international flights like Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roded86400 (talk • contribs) 09:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, international flights both depart and arrive at the airfield. However, the airport is officially known as Perth Airport since 2002 when the operating company officially decided to name it so. I would suggest reading up on the naming conventions of articles within WP:AVIATION. Thewinchester (talk) 11:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Web address
It seems some people seem to think the .com domain address for the airports website is more appropriate to have in the article. As the airport resides in Australia, it would be better to use the .net.au, mainly because the domain implies location and it's the exact same website. Thewinchester (talk) 16:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

stats?
will the 2008-2009 PAX stats live up to the 10,000,000+ i mean, with the economic downturn and what not.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dannhaha (talk • contribs) 11:06, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Renumbering of terminals due to the redevelopment
I've just come across an article on the Perth Airports site stating that from 1 November 2012 a new numbering scheme will be in place at the airport. I was surprised when reading the wiki article to note the previous numbering scheme isn't mentioned anywhere. It mentions on passengers boarding passes which terminal by number they are leaving from. So having that information on the wiki page would prove beneficial.

Anyway the new airport terminal numbering information can be found here --Nathaniel73 (talk) 02:05, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

After re reading the article I see the terminal numbers are in facted mentioned on the page just not in a table as I was expecting. Nathaniel73 (talk) 02:37, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Dublin
The following are sources for the direct Etihad service to DUB via AUH http://irisharoundoz.com/blog/2013/12/16/good-news-dublin-perth-new-australia-route-announced/ http://www.irishtimes.com/business/sectors/transport-and-tourism/new-dublin-perth-route-announced-1.1626850 http://www.irishecho.com.au/2014/01/13/etihad-reveals-dublin-perth-daily-service/30379 http://www.newstalk.ie/Etihad-to-launch-new-direct-flights-from-Dublin-to-Australia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.141.70.190 (talk) 00:42, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * These are all unreliable sources. They do not understand what a direct flight is, or do not understand how meaningless a connection means. On Etihad, you can connect to anywhere in the system that makes sense. July 15 is simply the start date for Etihad in Perth. It has no bearing for Dublin. The two segments do not use the same flight number or the same type of aircraft. And by going through a carrier's primary domestic hub, it nullifies any "directness" required by WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT. HkCaGu (talk) 10:18, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Locality or suburb
I've changed the word "locality" to "suburb" in the lead paragraph for consistency with "adjacent to suburbs...", and because "suburb" is the common term. (Also "located in a locality ..." sounds a bit repetitive.) However, I notice that: Should we use the more accurate (according to Melway) "locality" or the more common "suburb"? Mitch Ames (talk) 10:01, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * My 2011 Melway Greater Perth Street Directory uses "locality" not "suburb", eg page 3 Explanation of Map Symbols, and in the Facilities Guide at the back. (The latter's index includes "Suburbs (see Localities...)".)
 * List of Perth suburbs says "Many of these 'suburbs' are 'localities'", implying that the terms are not synonymous.
 * I think we should use the more common term, suburb. While there is technically a difference between suburbs and localities, in practical terms it's just what the local government decides to the area (eg Noranda is signposted as a locality ). And per MOS:JARGON, "Do not introduce new and specialized words simply to teach them to the reader when more common alternatives will do" - Evad37 [talk] 09:30, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I think there is a not missing there? As to the whole discussion above, I always assume that locality and suburb are inter-changeable - Melway is a half Landgate/half commercial venture, and the final judgement should be deferred either to what landgate have on their website (or if such users as Gnangarra or Orderinchaos were asked - they might remember the ad nauseum sort of diuscussions about these sorts of issues from 6 or 7 years ago) -

This sort of discussion is really either state or national noticeboard stuff. If you drive through the places in the mundaring shire for instance - they have signs 'locality of x' at the boundaries of the places - as to whether they are suburbs or localities in the strictest sense - this talk page is really a limited scope re this subject. satusuro 14:27, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * - oops, fixed now to "Do not introduce..." - Evad37 [talk] 15:31, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Page 11 of this Landgate document  uses the following definition: "Localities which are considered to be a part of the metropolitan area are known as Suburbs, and those which fall outside of this area are known as Bounded Localities." which supports the change from 'locality' to 'suburb'. If further or more general discussion is warranted, it would probably be better suited to occur at WT:WA (as suggested by satusuro above) - Evad37 [talk] 13:43, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Master plans
The article currently includes these sections, all at the same heading level:

 * 2024 Airport Master Plan
 * 2014 Airport Master Plan
 * Intrastate terminal: T2
 * International terminal
 * Virgin Australia domestic pier
 * Third runway
 * Airport Drive

I think that 2024 Master Plan should be placed after 2014 Master Plan, but simply swapping the two sections is probably a bad idea. Intrastate terminal: T2, for example starts with "The first phase of the masterplan ..." - which I presume is the 2014 plan, not the 2024 plan.

It might make more sense to have something like this

 * 2014 Airport Master Plan
 * Intrastate terminal: T2
 * International terminal
 * Virgin Australia domestic pier
 * Third runway
 * Airport Drive
 * 2024 Airport Master Plan

but I don't know if all of these now sub-headings are actually part of master plan 2014. Someone more familiar with the scope of the two plans may care to address this. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:00, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Assessment comment

Formatting of "seasonal" etc in "Airlines and destinations - Passenger" table
I disagree with the bold formatting in the table in Perth Airport, specifically because the words in question: Relevant edits:
 * are not headings or pseudo-headings
 * ought not be semantically emphasised "to denote importance, seriousness, or urgency". "The 'strong' markup is generally not appropriate in article text"

I propose that the formatting should simply be removed, as it is not MOS-compliant. Is there some reason it should be there? Is there a better solution - perhaps separate columns for Season, Charter? Mitch Ames (talk) 11:48, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

 * I would have picked, but I didn’t write it and is fine when it’s important which to me is the case here, so it’s in line with MOS. Another column is just a bad idea IMO. Maybe an icon? Betterkeks (talk) 13:48, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It will look bad if there are separate column/s for the seasonal and charter ones. Also, I bolded the charter and seasonal labels because it appeared almost blended with regular services and I have to do a double-check to them in the table. Other users might also need to double-check the table to find the seasonal and charter ones. RPC7778 (talk) 18:23, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a much larger discussion than just Perth airport; see Heathrow Airport and Frankfurt Airport. The whole table should probably be a template, so that (1) all airports are formatted the same and (2) all airports are changed at the same time if a better way to format this information emerges. To me (1) the information in that table is too dense and needs more "structure" and whitespace, and (2) the classification of Charter, seasonal, etc is important and mustn’t drown in these endless lists of destinations, and until a better way is found seems to be the consensus. Betterkeks (talk) 00:45, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Tbh, the outcome of both markup and text with triple apostrophes looks to be the same, so I don't have any problems with it switching from triple apostrophes to . RPC7778 (talk) 02:11, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Nice. For the sake of completeness, there are subtle but important differences. I changed it to because it  Betterkeks (talk) 02:36, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a much larger discussion than just Perth airport — Agreed. I've mentioned this discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airports, and would not be averse to the entire conversation being moved to that project talk page (or a similar central location). Mitch Ames (talk) 07:09, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

I still assert that, or ''' are incorrect for text that is inline in the paragraph - in that context (inline text) those words are not "important, urgent, serious, emphasised" etc. If we want them to appear in bold so that we can find them easily, then perhaps those words should actually be pseudo-headings, rather than inline text (per : table is too dense and needs more "structure" and whitespace). In which case, instead of:

we should have (using ''' and normal paragraph spacing):

or to reduce vertical space, after "Charter":

A more radical approach - just remove the words "Seasonal", "Charter" etc. In the context of an article about an airport, is it really import to distinguish when they fly? That degree of detail to me appears contrary to the spirit of WP:NOTDIRECTORY.

Mitch Ames (talk) 11:38, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

 * While not a member, I would like to add a few points.
 * The use of boldface is really out of place here. Why not just add another column to the table and use that to denote seasonal etc?
 * It could be done with a single.double letter abreviation, or with colour if an extra columnn is felt to be an issue.
 * MOS:BOLDFACE and MOS:NOBOLD clearly are against this usage, and for me, an extra column seems both logical and more reader-friendly Chaosdruid (talk) 12:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I see nowhere in WP:BOLDFACE that it is not allowed. Because it is common use at airport articles to highlight the words "Seasonal" to make it clear which connections are year round and which was are seasonal. It improves readability. To reduce readability by replacing boldface by an extra column is i8n my opinion nat in the best interest of the article. The Banner  talk 13:07, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It does not improve readability.
 * It also interferes with various systems used for people with impaired vision that rely on reading rather than viewing.
 * It cleearly says it here:
 * "When not to use boldface
 * Avoid using boldface for emphasis in article text. Instead, use HTML's  element or the   template (which usually render as italic)."
 * Thanks Chaosdruid (talk) 13:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You are serious willing to sacrifice readability to enforce a mere guideline, in fact just an advice? Ever heard of WP:IAR? The Banner  talk 13:44, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * And did you notice that we are talking about the use in a table and not in plain text? The Banner  talk 13:56, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Please do not argue here, and please do not repeat things from your talk page here and make me reply in the two places.
 * I have already answered both these points on your talk page. Chaosdruid (talk) 17:58, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, I understand that you want to keep the discussion out of the limelight. After all, it is your personal preference, not guideline based. The Banner  talk 19:01, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for admitting that it is just a personal opinion and not guideline (not even a policy) based. But what it add is clarity between the year round flights and the seasonal flight, without have to read the whole list. A quick scan for boldface text is enough. It is not some much a problem with airlines that have only a few flights of one airport, but it is problematic at airlines that have ten or more flights for one airport. Then you have to read the entire list to finally find where the seasonals begin. The Banner  talk 18:54, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

You are getting ridiculous now. I "admitted" no such thing. EVERY entry on that list has a "seasonal" in bold face, thus totally negating your argument, as no clarity is added when ALL of them are boldfaced. Why does it matter if someone is looking for the "seasonal" ones? THe average reader will not be looking for that. More improtantly, it would look better, be more readable, and make ore sense if there was an extra column which had that detail Once again, it is against MOS, which is not some "pointless set of rules". Go get THEM changed if you really want to start doing whatever you want without consequence. Chaosdruid (talk) 12:12, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Seeing that you need personal attacks in your edits, I guess you are out of arguments. The Banner  talk 12:43, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh dear. WP:AGF has been constantly ignored throughout our discussions. I have made no such personal attack.
 * On the contrary, suggesting I said things that were not said could very easily be seen as a personal attack Chaosdruid (talk) 15:58, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I did not use personal attacks in the edit summery. You did. The Banner  talk 16:32, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The bolding of Seasonal or Charter does not improve readability. All it does is draw the eye in, giving the reader the impression that seasonal and charter flights are more important to the airport than regular flights. They ain't.

Greek Cross and CopyVio
Even if your argument that we can do what Google does was true, the comparison doesn't hold. We want to be able to edit texts, and that goes way beyond simple caching. Greek Cross is a copyvio. Feel free to write a new article that is not a copyvio at Greek_Cross/Temp and let us know on the talk page when you got something. Rl 11:14, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I hope you stay around long enough to learn how things work here. New editors are always welcome. -- Even if the Greek Cross article looked perfect now (which it doesn't), you wouldn't find anyone to protect it from edits. This is a Wiki: Articles are meant to be edited. We work together to write good articles which are updated and expanded all the time. That's the whole point. Look at the edit history of any decent article in WP and you'll see what I mean.

 * Some pages get protected temporarily to let some hot-heads cool down or as means against spambots. Very few pages are always protected because they are great targets for vandals -- most notable the mainpage. Those are rare exceptions, though. Rl 11:43, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yvonne Vera

Yvonne Vera (19 September 1964 – 7 April 2005) was an author from Zimbabwe. Her first published book was a collection of short stories, Why Don't You Carve Other Animals (1992), which was followed by five novels: Nehanda (1993), Without a Name (1994), Under the Tongue (1996), Butterfly Burning (1998), and The Stone Virgins (2002). According to the African Studies Center at University of Leiden, "her novels are known for their poetic prose, difficult subject-matter, and their strong women characters, and are firmly rooted in Zimbabwe's difficult past ." For these reasons, she has been widely studied and appreciated by those studying postcolonial African literature.

Life
Vera was born in Bulawayo, in what was then Southern Rhodesia, to Jerry Vera and Ericah Gwetai. At the age of eight, she worked as a cotton-picker near Hartley. She attended Mzilikazi High School and then taught English literature at Njube High School, both in Bulawayo. In 1987, she immigrated to Canada and she married John Jose, a Canadian teacher whom she had met while he was teaching at Njube. At some point in the late 1980s, Vera was diagnosed as HIV-positive, but never shared this information during her lifetime. At York University, Toronto, she completed an undergraduate degree, a master's and a PhD, and taught literature.

In 1995, Vera separated from her husband and returned to Zimbabwe. In 1997 she became director of the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, a gallery that showcases local talent ranging from that of professional artists to school children. She resigned in May 2003 because of the withdrawal of government funding, an exodus of local artists and a drop in visitors. In 2004, Vera returned to Canada with Jose to seek treatment. She died on 7 April 2005 of AIDS-related meningitis.

Awards

 * 1994: Commonwealth Writers' Prize (Africa) and Zimbabwe Publishers' Literary Award, for Without a Name
 * 2002: Macmillan Writers' Prize for Africa for The Stone Virgins
 * 2003: National Arts Merit Awards for Best Written Work.

Works
While at university, Vera submitted a story to a Toronto magazine: the publisher asked for more, so she sat down to write them. Her collection of short stories, Why Don't You Carve Other Animals, was published in 1992. It was followed by five completed novels:
 * Nehanda (Baobab Books, 1993), shortlisted for Commonwealth Writers' Prize
 * Without a Name (Baobab Books, 1994), awarded Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Africa and Zimbabwe Publishers' Literary Award
 * Under the Tongue (Baobab Books, 1996)
 * Butterfly Burning (1998), awarded a German literary prize, LiBeraturpreis, in 2002
 * The Stone Virgins (2002), awarded Macmillan Writers' Prize for Africa; extracted in New Daughters of Africa, edited by Margaret Busby, 2029

At the time of her death Vera was working on a new novel, Obedience, which has never been published. Her other works have been published in Zimbabwe, Canada and several other countries, including translations into Spanish, Italian and Swedish.

Vera wrote obsessively, often for 10 hours a day, and described time when she was not writing as "a period of fasting". Her work was passionate and lyrical. She took on themes such as rape, incest and infanticide, and gender inequality in Zimbabwe before and after the country's war of independence with sensitivity and courage. She said: "I would love to be remembered as a writer who had no fear for words and who had an intense love for her nation." In 2004 she was awarded the Swedish PEN Tucholsky Prize "for a corpus of works dealing with taboo subjects".

Vera also edited several anthologies by African women writers, including Opening Spaces: an Anthology of Contemporary African Women's Writing (Heinemann African Writers Series, 1999).

 * Oppose. Nothing striking here. If we say that a picture like this is featured pic quality because it adds nicely to ageing, then we'll have all the 12-year-olds around here posting their school photos up saying it adds nicely to youth. Enochlau 13:59, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose, it's just another portrait. If you're trying to add to the ageing article, isn't it better to have a series of photos of someone at a different age? Mgm|(talk) 16:01, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * Fine idea! Now look if there are suitable pictures of those older relatives of your's. I don't think you should hesitate at the possible event that someone else has a better photo series, we could sure use several of them. I think articles often have too few images, even when suitable pictures already are uploaded. Why, for example isn't the crashing Concorde present in the article Accidents_and_incidents_in_aviation? Now let's all help to include more images in articles, don't you think? Jonas Olson 16:40, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose. Nice portrait, but I am not quite won over. It might be because the lighting is a bit flat. -- Solipsist 19:37, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Liverpool F.C. wiki
Hello, I am the lead sysop on the Liverpool F.C. wiki. It is a wiki dedicated solely to Liverpool F.C.. We aim to make the ultimate database for the club we all love. Since adopting the incredibly inactive wiki about a month ago we have greatly increased the article count and modernized it from it's previous state. The problem is there are not many active members on the site and we need more for the site to properly grow. It is well organized and on it's way to be a great site we just need more editors to expand. It is based on Wikia's network of wikis. Like Wikipedia it is free to use and the editing process is exactly the same. If you know how to edit Wikipedia you will know how to edit the Liverpool F.C. wiki. Now for the question you may be asking yourself. Why edit there? Wikipedia has articles on Liverpool. This is true. At the Liverpool wiki it is all about Liverpool. We allow editors to edit anything about Liverpool no matter how trivial. We allow edits on reserve and academy players, and even things as trivial as the fitness coaches for the year 2011. We also do not lock pages to registered users. That means if you have something to say about Steven Gerrard you can click edit and not view source and actually write something. I would love for you to come by and check the wiki out. Feel free to edit any page. Every time you click edit your ARE helping this wiki grow. Thanks for taking the time to read this! http://liverpoolfc.wikia.com/wiki/Liverpool_FC_Wiki --Coffeeclub213 (talk) 17:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Category:Journalist stubs

The perfect article about a journalist gives both a (possibly short) biography and a list of major articles or other major publications they have written. These can help people find a journalist or article they are looking for. It can also be a tool for journalists to build their credibility. Also, appropriate categories should be added, especially those listed in Category:Journalists and Category:Journalists by nationality.

The list of articles and other publications should be sorted in the order that it would be best to read their books. This might include splitting them into categories by genre, or series. It should indicate if they are listed in the order they were written or in chronological order, if these are different.

No Fun at All

No Fun at All (often abbreviated to just NFAA) is a Swedish punk rock band.

History
The band formed in the summer of 1991 in Skinnskatteberg. The group initially consisted of Mikael Danielsson (guitar), Jimmie Olsson (vocals, drums) and Henrik Sunvisson (bass guitar). The name was inspired by a tongue-in-cheek version of The Stooges' song "No Fun" as covered by the Sex Pistols, and the name of the band Sick of It All. The group released their albums on the Swedish label Burning Heart Records outside the United States. Within the U.S., No Fun at All's albums were released by Theologian Records with the exception of Out Of Bounds which was released by Revelation Records. Epitaph Records released a compilation album known as Master Celebrations in the US in 2002, making it their only release directly on Epitaph despite Burning Heart’s close association with them.

In 1993, Jimmie Olsson left the band to concentrate on his other band Sober. He has contributed on all subsequent albums (except Out of Bounds) providing backup vocals. No Fun at All then recruited three new members: Ingemar Jansson (vocals), Krister Johansson (guitar) and Kjell Ramstedt (drums). In 1999, Sunvisson quit, Danielsson switched from guitar to bass guitar and Stefan Neuman, from Tribulation, took up the vacant guitar slot. On January 11, 2001, No Fun at All broke up, and played their farewell show later in month.

Since 2004, the band has reunited for several reunion shows. Preceded by a stream of "Never Ending Stream" in October 2008 and the single "Reckless (I Don't Wanna)" on November 1, 2008, they released Low Rider that same month through their own label Beat 'Em Down Records. On April 19, 2012 the Millencolin Festival announced that No Fun At All canceled their show at the festival due to their disbandment. As of May 2013, however, the band became active again and toured Australia in November of that year with Boysetsfire, Off with Their Heads and Jughead's Revenge. They have since toured Australia multiple times, including 2020 (with Pennywise and Strung Out), and October/November 2022 in support of their latest album, "Seventh Wave".

Huntingtower Castle

Huntingtower Castle, once known as Ruthven Castle or the Place of Ruthven, is located near the village of Huntingtower beside the A85 and near the A9, about 5 km NW of the centre of Perth, Perth and Kinross, in central Scotland, on the main road to Crieff. This castle is the subject for several local ghostlore stories.

History
Huntingtower Castle was built at least by the 14th century as it was one of the castles owned by the Lords of Badenoch. Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, called the Wolf of Badenoch for his misdeeds, died there in 1394.

Later, in the 15th century the castle was claimed by the Huntly family, or by the Clan Ruthven family. It was known for several hundred years as the 'House (or 'Place') of Ruthven' or 'Ruthven Castle', or simply 'Ryffane', until the family was forfeited for the Gowrie Conspiracy in 1600 and the Ruthven name was suppressed by Act of Parliament. As contemporary writers reported, the "prinsipall howse callyd Ryven is now callyd the Huntynge towre" and, "the House of Riven to be called Hunt towre". The Ruthvens also had a substantial townhouse in nearby Perth, called Gowrie House.

Mary, Queen of Scots visited on 25 June and 16 September 1565. Regent Morton made a progess in Fife in September 1575, and while he was at Ballinbreich Castle he was summoned to Huntingtower (Ruthven) to the christening of James Ruthven, the heir.

In the summer of 1582, the castle was occupied by the 4th Lord Ruthven, who was also the 1st Earl of Gowrie, and his family. Gowrie was involved in a plot to kidnap the young King James VI, son of Mary, Queen of Scots. On 22 or 23 August 1582, Gowrie and his associates seized the young king at Huntingtower, then known as "Ruthven Castle". James was held prisoner for 10 months in various locations. This kidnapping is known as the 'Raid of Ruthven' and the Protestant conspirators behind it hoped to gain power through controlling the king. James eventually escaped on 27 June 1583.

James VI forgave Gowrie, but after a second abortive attempt by Gowrie and others to overthrow him, Gowrie was finally executed and his property (including Huntingtower) was forfeited to the crown. Dorothea Stewart, Countess of Gowrie, was commanded to surrender Dirleton, Huntingtower ("Ruthven"), Cousland, and the Gowrie lodging in Perth to the crown in May 1584.

James VI and his young cousin Ludovic, Duke of Lennox stayed at Huntingtower in September 1584, as a German traveller Lupold von Wedel noted. After around 10 days, there was news of plague in nearby Perth, where some of the servants were staying, and so the king and a few followers went on to Tullibardine Castle and then to Stirling Castle. The rest of the royal household remained in quarantine enclosed at Huntingtower.

The Castle and lands were restored to the Ruthven family in 1586. The king visited for a week in September 1587. However, in 1600, the brothers John and Alexander Ruthven were accused, some say falsely, of attempting to kidnap King James, and were killed in Gowrie House, the Ruthven home in Perth, by an overwhelming number of the king's armed men. This time, the king was less merciful: as well as seizing the estates, he abolished the name of Ruthven and decreed that any successors would be ineligible to hold titles or lands. Thus the House of Ruthven ceased to exist and by royal proclamation Ruthven castle was renamed Huntingtower.

David Murray, 1st Viscount of Stormont was made keeper. James VI stayed in April 1601, writing the new name "Huntingtower" on his letters. In 1605 the Privy Council heard that woods, yards or gardens, and windows of Huntingtower had been damaged by members of the Clan Gregor. King James heard the castle needed repairs in 1623 and ordered his surveyor, James Murray to report. There is no record of repairs in that year.

The Castle remained in the possession of the crown until 1643 when it was given to the family of Murray of Tullibardine (from whom the Dukes of Atholl and Mansfield are descended). John Murray, 1st Duke of Atholl resided in the Castle, where his wife Lady Mary Ross bore a son 7 February 1717. The Castle began to be neglected and after Lady Mary died in 1767, it was abandoned as a place of residence except by farm labourers. The last inhabitants of the castle were the family of the castle custodian Niel Cowan. The Cowan family of Niel, Margaret, Alexander and Lorraine left in late 2002.

Today, the castle can be visited by the public and is sometimes used as a venue for marriage ceremonies. It is in the care of Historic Scotland (open all year; entrance charge).

Architecture
The original 'Huntingtower' (now known as the 'Eastern Tower') was a free-standing building, constructed primarily as a gatehouse. It consists of three storeys and a garret under the roof. Around the end of the 15th century a second tower (the 'Western Tower') was built alongside the Huntingtower, with a gap of about 3 metres between them. This second tower was L-shaped in plan and was connected to the Huntingtower by a wooden bridge below the level of the battlements. It is thought that this construction was for defensive reasons: if one tower was attacked and taken, residents could flee into the second and draw up the bridge between the two. The space between the two towers was built up in the late 17th century resulting in the Castle as it stands today. At the same time the number and size of windows was greatly increased, particularly in the Western Tower.

A great hall was built against the north side of the Western Tower in the 16th century, but nothing remains of it above ground except a raggle showing the position of the roof against the Tower. The defensive walls that originally enclosed the Castle (and probably other vanished subsidiary buildings) have also been removed. Among the features of interest at Huntingtower are early 16th-century paintings which survive on the first floor of the Eastern Tower. These include fragmentary wall paintings showing flowers, animals and Biblical scenes, and a largely complete decorative scheme on the wooden ceiling. Among the designs are grotesque animals (including a version of the green man) on the main beams, and Renaissance-style knotwork patterns on the overlying planks. This painted ceiling is believed to be the earliest of its kind to survive substantially in Scotland. Minor fragments of wall-paintings also survive in the Western Tower.

The early preservation and conservation of the painted ceiling was conducted by the Office of Works. Frank Baines sought advice from the expert chemist Arthur Pillans Laurie of Heriot-Watt University in 1912. He advised using a weak solution of gelatine to fix the flaking paint pigment.

Ghostlore and other legends
Huntingtower is said to be haunted by "Lady Greensleeves", a young woman named Dorothea who was the daughter of the 1st Earl of Gowrie. The legend states that she was in love with a servant at the castle and that the two used to have clandestine meetings at night in the eastern tower, where the servants slept. One night the girl's mother, the Countess, is supposed to have discovered what was going on and made her way across the bridge from the family's quarters in the western tower to the eastern tower to catch the pair. Dorothea heard her mother's footsteps on the bridge and, unable to return to the other tower by that route, made her way to the roof. Here she leapt from the tower to land safely on the battlements of the western tower and so return to bed where she was discovered by her mother. The distance between the towers was several metres and thus she accomplished quite a feat in leaping the distance. The following day the girl and her lover eloped and no records exist to tell us what happened to them.

A number of sightings of the figure of a tall young woman in a green silk dress have been seen in and around Huntingtower over the years, usually at dusk but sometimes in full daylight. Her appearance is said to be an ill omen and a forewarning of some disaster to come. A traveller staying at Huntingtower in the 1930s is reported to have seen Lady Greensleeves in a corridor of the castle. The following day he resumed his journey to Fife and was drowned when he fell from the ferry taking him across the River Tay.

A second Huntingtower legend concerns St Conval's Well, which is beside the road below the castle. The water from this well is meant to have the power to heal, but those who go to collect it must do so in silence: any word spoken on the outward or return journey renders the water useless. Those who go to fetch water are also supposed to leave a small token behind at the well, such as a coin or charm. The well is in good condition and to this day runs clear.

Notable persons
George Turnbull was brought up nearby. He was the Chief Engineer building the first railway from Calcutta (the then commercial capital of India): 541 miles to Benares en route to Delhi.

Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/April 17, 2005

I would like to suggest using or  (cropped to remove the black frame ?) to show Maggie's face at 100px. Any particular reason to show the 2001 pic ? It seems too small at 100px, and her eyes look funny at the original scale.

Winston Wong

Winston Wen-Yang Wong OBE (born 2 April 1951 in Taipei County (now New Taipei City), Taiwan) is the eldest son of Wang Yung-ching, chair of the Formosa Plastics Group (FPG), by his second wife. Wong is now a widower with a son and a daughter after his wife died of stomach cancer in 2007. Wong holds degrees in physics, applied optics, and chemical engineering from Imperial College London. His English name was chosen during his study in the United Kingdom.

Career
Wong was executive vice president of Nan Ya Plastics, an FPG subsidiary, until a widely publicized affair (and the resulting 14% drop in FPG stocks) led to his dismissal in December 1995. His father then “banished” Wong to the United States, where he spent one year teaching at the business school of the University of California, Berkeley. While in the United States, Wong met Jiang Mianheng, son of Jiang Zemin, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China at that time.

In 2000, Wong and Jiang Mianheng co-founded the US$1.63 billion Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. joint venture in Shanghai, China. Though Wong serves as president and CEO of that company, Wong himself is not a stockholder, due to cross-strait investment restrictions imposed by the Republic of China (ROC). Wong also serves as chair of the Hung Jen Group (宏仁集團) and chair of the Grace THW Group (宏仁企业集团), which are heavily invested in mainland China’s petrochemical and electronics industries, respectively.

The Winston Wong Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology was created at Imperial College London in 2009.

In 2015, Wong was named to “Top 100 Chinese for Economic Achievements and Contributions” list by Management World Magazine.

Support for trade agreements Between Taiwan-NAFTA/United States
As an entrepreneur, Wong has long been a vocal supporter for increased levels of trade cooperation between Taiwan and the West, and free trade agreements in general. On 26 February 2012, Forbes featured an OP/ED written by Wong in which he discussed, “A Free Trade Agenda For the U.S. and Taiwan”. The premise of the article being that despite global exports totaling $274 billion in 2010, Taiwan has had difficulty establishing a footprint in substantial global trade agreements. Because of Taiwan’s complex diplomatic relations, it has had trouble entering substantial trade pacts with the economic powerhouses of the United States and North American Free Trade Agreement.

Even so, Wong argues that free-trade agreements with several Central American nations, as well as with Singapore have proven Taiwan worthy of inclusion. Wong has pointed to the increased quality of life from “survivor” to “consumer” and entrance into the middle class for millions of people in China, India, and Brazil in advocacy for increased trade cooperation with Taiwan.

Moon Regan TransAntarctic Expedition sponsorship
In June 2010, Wong agreed to be the main sponsor of the Moon-Regan Trans-Antarctic expedition led by Andrew Regan and Andrew Moon. The Expedition will travel 3,600 miles across Antarctica, from Patriot Hills on the west coast to the South Pole, heading north from there through the Trans-Antarctic Mountain Range, down the Leverett Glacier and across the Ross Ice Shelf to the coast at McMurdo.

The expedition has partnered with Imperial College London to carry out a wide range of scientific objectives. The team is travelling in three vehicles across Antarctica, including two mobile laboratories and the Winston Wong Bio-Inspired Ice Vehicle (WWBIV). The WWBIV will be the first bio-fuelled vehicle on Antarctica to endeavour to reach the Geographic South Pole.

Poorakkali

Poorakkali (meaning Festival Performance) is a traditional dance ritual performed by men during the nine-day Pooram festival in Bhagavathy temples across North Malabar in Kerala State of south India.

The Pooram festival begins with the Karthika asterism and concludes with the Pooram asterism of the month of Meenam according to the Malayalam calendar (corresponding to the sun sign Pisces according to the Julian Calendar) to honour Kamadeva, the god of love.

The performers come from different sects like Thiyya, Maniyani, Nambiar etc. The basis of Poorakkali essentially is the memories of Vasanthapooja performed by inmates of different worlds like heaven, earth etc. Poorakkali spreads knowledge and entertainment. The show steals the hearts of audience with melodious songs and befitting body movements. The Panickers are well-known names in the world of Poorakkali and have contributed much to the survival and expansion of this art form.

Story
Kamadeva (the Hindu god of love), tries to awaken Shiva to the amorous advances of Parvati. He is burned to ashes by the fire emanating from Shiva's third eye. To bring love and joy back to the earth, that is left barren after Kama’s death, Vishnu instructs heavenly goddesses Rambha to create Kama’s figure with flowers and to sing and dance. Women on earth continued to sing and dance to celebrate Kama’s reincarnation. In the course of time, men took charge of the festivities, though young girls continue to play an integral role in the rituals.

Style
The Poorakkali dance itself is performed by a troop of young men decked in lion costumes around a huge, multi-tiered, lit lamp, also known as a "nilavilukku." The dance involves masculine movements and acrobatic, martial art steps. No singers or musicians accompany the dance; instead, the dancers themselves keep rhythm by singing, clapping and executing synchronised foot-thumping movements. The dancers usually observe a month of abstinence and undergo strenuous practice before the performance. Most of the songs sung are hymns from Ramayana, Mahabharata or Bhagavata. The leader of the group, known by the name Panicker, sings the song, and the lines are repeated in chorus by the other dancers. Certain rituals are performed before the dance starts.

Variants of Poorakkali
Marathukali is a variant of Poorakkali. This is a form performed by two parties competently. The ordinary play lacks the competent mood displayed in Marathukali. Big disputes ensue between two parties while performance is on and learned people dissuade both parties from further confrontation.

Gallagher index

[[File:Gallagher index map.svg|alt=|thumb|Map of Gallagher index for latest election as of 2023

{{Legend|#0c3091|0-1}} {{legend|#2f5cd5|1-3}} {{legend|#6bd2df|3-5}} {{legend|#c3eded|5-7}}

{{legend|#f9f8bb|7-9}} {{legend|#fad45d|9-11}} {{legend|#da820f|11-13}} {{legend|#a8261f|13-15}}

{{legend|#66000f|15-20}} {{legend|#240011|20-}} {{legend|#c0c0c0|No data}} The Gallagher index measures an electoral system's relative disproportionality between votes received and seats in a legislature. As such, it measures the difference between the percentage of votes each party gets and the percentage of seats each party gets in the resulting legislature, and it also measures this disproportionality from all parties collectively in any one given election. That collective disproportionality from the election is given a precise score, which can then be used in comparing various levels of proportionality among various elections from various electoral systems. The Gallagher index is a statistical analysis methodology utilised within political science, notably the branch of psephology.
 * upright=1.4]]

Michael Gallagher, who created the index, referred to it as a "least squares index", inspired by the sum of squares of residuals used in the method of least squares. The index is therefore commonly abbreviated as "LSq" even though the measured allocation is not necessarily a least squares fit. The Gallagher index is computed by taking the square root of half the sum of the squares of the difference between percent of votes ($$V_i$$) and percent of seats ($$S_i$$) for each of the political parties ($$i=1,\ldots,n$$).

 * $$\mathrm{LSq} = \sqrt{ \frac{1}{2} \sum_{i=1}^n ( V_i-S_i ) ^2}$$

The division by 2 gives an index whose values range between 0 and 100. The larger the differences between the percentage of the votes and the percentage of seats summed over all parties, the larger the Gallagher index. The larger the index value the larger the disproportionality and vice versa. Michael Gallagher included "other" parties as a whole category, and Arend Lijphart modified it, excluding those parties. Compared to the Loosemore–Hanby index, the Gallagher index is more sensitive to large discrepancies. Other indices measuring the proportionality between seat share and party vote share are the Loosemore–Hanby index, Rae index, and the Sainte-Laguë Index.

History
The first publication of the use of least squares in measuring the dis-proportionality of election outcomes was by Michael Gallagher in 1991: In Michael Gallagher's Electoral Systems web site he offers a PDF download under "Values of Indices" in which he writes: "These [election] indices were originally outlined in Markku Laakso and Rein Taagepera, ‘ “Effective” number of parties: a measure with application to west Europe’, Comparative Political Studies 12:1 (1979), pp. 3–27 (effective number of parties), and Michael Gallagher, ‘Proportionality, disproportionality and electoral systems’, Electoral Studies 10:1 (1991), pp. 33–51 (least squares index)."

Application in Canada
The Gallagher index gained considerable attention in Canada in December 2016 in the context of efforts to reform Canada's electoral system. The Special Committee on Electoral Reform (a Parliamentary Committee) recommended "that the Government should, as it develops a new electoral system, use the Gallagher index in order to minimize the level of distortion between the popular will of the electorate and the resultant seat allocations in Parliament." The committee recommended that "the government should seek to design a system that achieves a Gallagher score of 5 or less."

Canada
In the 2015 Canadian federal election, the Gallagher index was 12.02, where 0 would be a perfectly proportional election outcome.

Australia
This table uses for example the 2012 Queensland state election, one of the largest landslides in Australian electoral history. Though Australia and New Zealand have somewhat similar political histories, Australia uses preferential voting in Single-member districts for Commonwealth House of Representative and most state and territory Legislative Assembly elections, which tends to result in far less proportionality compared to New Zealand's MMP system (or other proportional electoral systems), especially for larger minor parties, such as The Greens or, historically, the Australian Democrats. The 2012 Queensland election had an extremely high Gallagher Index, at 31.16, due to the massive landslide in seats for the victorious LNP. The LNP gained 88% of the seats with less than 50% of the vote. Most recent Australian state and federal elections however score between 10 and 12.

EU
The 7 political groups of the European Parliament instead of the 203 political parties allow a concise calculation of disproportionality between votes and seats. The Gallagher index for the European Parliament is 7.87.

Sweden
The disproportionality of the 2018 Swedish general election was 1.8 according to the Gallagher index, which is extremely low by international standards (resulting in almost perfectly proportional seat allocations), due to Sweden's use of the modified Sainte-Laguë method in elections to the Riksdag.

Republic of Ireland
The disproportionality of the 2020 Irish general election was 1.96 according to the Gallagher index. The Republic of Ireland uses the single transferable vote (STV) system with Droop quota in elections to the Dáil Éireann.

United States
This table uses the aggregate results of the 2016 elections to the United States House of Representatives. These 435 single-seat elections are winner-take-all, which would tend to create disproportionate results, but this is moderated by the extremely high share of votes obtained by the two major parties—more than 97%, likely in part caused by fears of wasted votes and vote splitting. The Gallagher index ignores the effect of the primaries on the proportionality.

Seyni Kountché

Seyni Kountché (1 July 1931 – 10 November 1987) was a Nigerien military officer who led a 1974 coup d'état that deposed the government of Niger's first president, Hamani Diori. He ruled the country as military head of state from 17 April 1974 until his death on 10 November 1987. Stade Général Seyni Kountché, Niger's national stadium in Niamey, is named after him.

Military career
Born in 1931 in the town of Damana Fandou, a child of Djerma aristocracy who traced their origins to the Djermakoy Tondikandie, Kountché began his military career in 1949, serving in the French colonial army. In 1957, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant. The French territory of Niger became independent as the Republic of Niger on 3 August 1960. One year after his country gained its independence, Kountché transferred to the Niger Army. From 1965 to 1966, he studied at the officers' training school in Paris and became deputy chief of staff of the armed forces soon after. He was promoted to armed forces chief of staff in 1973.

Niger in 1974
During this same period, the newly independent country of Niger faced many problems. Politically, the nation was ruled as a one-party state led by president Hamani Diori. Opposition to the regime was suppressed, sometimes violently. A severe drought lasted from 1968 to 1974, leading to food shortages and growing dissatisfaction with the government. The economy remained weak despite attempts to exploit the large reserves of uranium in the country. Widespread civil disorder followed allegations that some government ministers were misappropriating stocks of food aid.

1974 coup
On 15 April 1974, Seyni Kountché led a military coup that ended Diori's rule. Kountché's first official acts were to suspend the Constitution, dissolve the National Assembly, ban all political parties, and release political prisoners. A Supreme Military Council (CMS) was established on 17 April 1974 with Kountché as president. Its stated mandate was to distribute food aid fairly and to restore morality to public life. A consultative National Council for Development (CND) replaced the National Assembly. Although political parties were outlawed, opposition activists who were exiled during Diori's regime were allowed to return to Niger.

Military governance
The military government's major preoccupation was planning an economic recovery. Generally amicable relations were maintained with France, and new links were formed with Arab states. Domestically, the country stabilized although personal and policy differences developed within the CMS. Plots to remove Kountché were thwarted in 1975 and again in 1976.

Return to constitutional governance
In 1981 Kountché began to increase civilian representation in the CMS, and in 1982 preparations were undertaken for a constitutional form of government. A civilian prime minister, Mamane Oumarou, was appointed on 24 January 1983. One year later, in January 1984, he established a commission to draft a pre-constitutional document, termed a 'national charter'. It was later approved in a national referendum. The charter provided for the establishment of non-elective, consultative institutions at both national and local levels.

Economic tensions and repression
Economic adjustment efforts during this period were impeded by the recurrence of drought in 1984 and 1985 along with the closure of the land border with Nigeria from 1984 to 1986. Niger's dependence on external financial assistance increased. Relations with the United States (by now the country's principal source of food aid) assumed considerable importance. Meanwhile, a period of renewed tension between Niger and Libya had fueled Libyan accusations of the persecution of the light-skinned, nomadic Tuareg population by the Kountché regime. Kountché rejected Libyan overtures to join the Organization of Saharan States because of Gaddafi's pronouncement in a speech at Benghazi in October 1980 that "Moors and Arab-Berber people were persecuted and oppressed in Mali and Niger". In May 1985, following an armed incident near the Niger-Libya border, all non-Nigerien Tuaregs were expelled from the country.

Death
Kountché's health deteriorated in late 1986 and it continued to worsen during 1987. He died at a Paris hospital of a brain tumor on 10 November 1987. Ali Saïbou succeeded him and on 14 November 1987, he was appointed president of the Supreme Military Council (CMS).

Debralee Scott

Debralee Scott (April 2, 1953 – April 5, 2005) was an American actress best known for her roles on the sitcoms Welcome Back, Kotter; Angie; Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman; and Forever Fernwood.

Career
Scott was born and raised in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and later lived in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, where she was a cheerleader. At age 22, she found fame on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman playing Mary's sister Cathy Shumway. She appeared on the first season of the sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter as Rosalie "Hotsy" Totsy; guest-starred in an episode of Gibbsville in 1976; and played Angie's younger sister Marie Falco in the Donna Pescow sitcom Angie.

Among her feature-film credits were the 1973 feature film American Graffiti, the 1974 film Earthquake, and the 1984 film Police Academy.

Scott was a fixture on the game-show circuit in the late 1970s and early 1980s, frequently serving as a celebrity guest on shows, including Match Game, The $20,000 Pyramid, Riddlers, and Password Plus.

Scott also appeared with the cast of Angie on Celebrity Family Feud in November 1979. After the cast of Angie defeated the cast of The Ropers in the first match, Scott scored 176 points in the Fast Money round, leaving partner Robert Hays only needing 24 points as they successfully won a guaranteed minimum $5,000 for their charity. After defeating the cast of The Dukes of Hazzard in the Finals match, she then scored 234 points all by herself in the Fast Money round, getting 4 of the 5 most popular answers and winning before Hays ever got a chance to play, bringing their total to $15,000 for their charity. Host Richard Dawson noted that she was the first celebrity player and only the fourth player in the show's then-four-year-history to win a Fast Money round single-handedly.

For a while, Scott continued to work in front of the camera, appearing in two Police Academy movies, but she later retired and chose a career behind the camera, becoming an agent for a company in New York City called Empowered Artists.

In 2000, Scott appeared on a panel with her former Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman castmates at the Museum of Television and Radio in Beverly Hills.

Personal life and death
Scott was married to actor Jonathan Frakes for a time in the 1980s; the marriage dissolved by 1986, when Frakes remarried.

Scott's fiancé, John Dennis Levi, a police officer with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, died in the September 11 attacks.

In 2005, shortly after moving to Florida to live with her sister, Scott fell into a coma and was hospitalized. She recovered and was released from the hospital on her birthday. However, she died in her sleep three days later, on April 5, 2005. Her body was cremated.

Her fiancé's mother later stated that Scott had a drinking problem, which led to her developing cirrhosis and eventually caused her death. Her sister Jerri added that "she never did get over Dennis' death".

Irish State Coach

The Irish State Coach is an enclosed, four-horse-drawn carriage used by the British Royal Family. It is the traditional horse-drawn coach in which the British monarch travels from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster to formally open the new legislative session of the UK Parliament.

History and current use
The original Irish State Coach was built as a speculative venture in 1851 by John Hutton & Sons of Dublin, who held a Royal Warrant as coachbuilders to Queen Victoria. Exhibited at the 1853 Great Industrial Exhibition, it was admired by the Queen, purchased and delivered to the Royal Mews. From 1861 it became the Queen's state carriage of choice, as she declined to use the Gold State Coach following the death of Prince Albert.

Under Edward VII, when use of the Gold Coach resumed, the Irish coach was made available for the Prince of Wales to use, and decorated with his insignia. Prior to his coronation as George V, the coach was sent for refurbishment to the workshops of Barker & Co. of Notting Hill. Whilst there, in 1911, it was extensively damaged by fire (with only the metal framework left intact); however, Barkers completely reconstructed it to the original design in the space of nineteen weeks, in time for it to be used in the coronation procession.

After the end of the Second World War the Irish State Coach (in place of the Gold Coach) came to be used habitually by the monarch at the State Opening of Parliament. It was also used on other occasions, including conveying King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) to Westminster Abbey for her wedding to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In 1960 it was modified to enable it to be drawn using postilion-ridden horses, as an alternative to being driven by a coachman from the box seat.

In 1988 the new Australian State Coach arrived at the mews, which went on to be used in place of the Irish State Coach on some state occasions (especially in cold weather). That same year the opportunity was taken for a complete restoration of the Irish coach to be undertaken by the Royal Mews carriage restorers (the first time such an extensive restoration had been undertaken in-house); it was completed in time to carry the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to the State Opening of Parliament once again in November 1989. Afterwards, the Irish State Coach and the Australian State Coach continued to be used interchangeably by the Queen for the State Opening of Parliament (as well as on other occasions); in the last decade of her reign, when the Queen regularly used the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, the Irish coach was used to carry the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to and from the State Opening. Most recently, it was used by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, as well as their children James, Earl of Wessex and Lady Louise Windsor, during the procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace during the Coronation of Charles III and Camilla.

Description
The exterior is blue and black with gilt decoration and the interior is covered in blue damask. It is normally driven from the box seat using two or four horses (though it can also be postilion driven with the box seat removed). Along with several other Royal state coaches, it is stored in the Royal Mews, where it can be seen by the public.

 * You have to log out of your AMG account. Maybe there's an easier way, but I don't know about it. Darkhorse82 10:20, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I'm going to use this from now on. Jogers 10:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Theism and Evolution
Hi, there's a ongoing controversy being discussed in Template talk:User theistic evolution (the dispute includes reversions and accusations of Bad Faith). Since you created that template, maybe you could share your view about it. Bye. --Leinad ¬ pois não? 08:56, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I think you've already addressed the obvious flaws in the other person's argument. However, I'm gonna change the text in the template to "This user believes in the premise of theistic evolution." Why? Because userboxes should present a belief or a fact - not an opinion. "This user accepts.." is an opinion, and it may offend those who hold opposing views - or even those who don't, like myself. Non-theistic evolutionists should change their templates accordingly. Of course, this is only one person's opinion. I'm not gonna go around making radical changes to templates that are irrelevant to me. But--personally--I don't want userboxes on my page suggesting that "I know, and you don't."
