Odinstårnet

Odinstårnet (The Odin Tower) was an observation tower located on Bolbro Bakke (Bolbro Hill) in Odense, Denmark.

History
The tower, 175 metres (581 ft) tall, was built in 1934-1935 using spare materials from the construction of the first Little Belt Bridge and opened on 29 May 1935. The tower quickly became a symbol and source of pride of both Odense and the entire island of Funen. Visitors said they could see the entire island from its observation platforms. If this statement is true, it was possible to see more than 50 km away.

Construction of the tower took 30 tons of steel, 2,700 tons of concrete, and half a million kroner, a considerable amount of money at the time. The tower had two platforms. The first, located 70 metres (230 ft) above ground, was a restaurant featuring a great star-shaped room with low, broad windows, a buffet, and seats for 160 guests. Its roof was decorated with a great compass card with a map of Odense in the centre, surrounded by directions to all towns on the island. Each town was indicated by its direction, name, and coat of arms.

A second platform was located 140 metres (460 ft) above ground, with an even greater view. From here, a spiral staircase offered access to the Conch Bar (Konkyliebaren), the name inspired by the staircase. Tables were located with one on each step of the staircase.

The tower's kitchen was suspended beneath the restaurant on the first platform and considered to be very modern. The tower was a popular tourist attraction and in 1935 alone, it attracted more than 213,000 visitors, including many foreigners. It was also a favourite playground for model airplane enthusiasts.

The Odin Tower was blown up on 06:15 AM on 14 December 1944 by a group of Danish Nazi saboteurs called the Peter group under the leadership of Henning E. Brøndum, in a so-called act of Schalburgtage. The tower collapsed completely and was damaged beyond repair. It took two months to remove the scrap metal and almost ten years to remove the concrete.

On 29 May 2004, the 69th anniversary of the inauguration of the original tower, students of the Odense Technical College (Odense Tekniske Gymnasium) erected a 12 m replica of the destroyed tower on its original site.

Joseph Coniglio

Joseph Coniglio (born February 6, 1943) is an American Democratic Party politician, who served in the New Jersey State Senate from 2002 until 2007, where he represented the 38th Legislative District. Coniglio, formerly a plumber, also served on the Senate Labor Committee and the Senate Budget & Appropriations Committee. In 2009 Coniglio was convicted of extortion and served 20 months in jail.

Career
As a State Senator, Coniglio sponsored a number of initiatives which have been signed into law. Reacting to security concerns following the September 11 terrorist attacks, he sponsored a law requiring background checks for airport employees with access to restricted areas within the airport. He also sponsored measures creating a prostate cancer education and research program and encouraging more individuals to enter the nursing profession by giving them an income tax deduction for up to three years.

In response to escalating violence at youth sporting events nationwide, Coniglio pushed for a bill allowing municipalities and boards of education to establish athletic codes of conduct for behavior at sporting events. Violators of these codes of conduct can be ejected from games and required to participate in anger management programs before being allowed to return.

Coniglio was a prime sponsor of New Jersey's "Do Not Call" list legislation, one of the strongest telemarketing restricting measure in the nation. The law requires telemarketers to subscribe to a "Do Not Call" list, and makes penalty provisions for telemarketers who violate the list. He also sponsored the State's historic "predatory lending" law, which protects homeowners from unscrupulous subprime lenders who charge exorbitant interest rates on home loans with the intent to foreclose on the home.

Coniglio also sponsored bills cracking down on fraudulent solicitations on behalf of charities, upgrading penalties for identity theft and the sale of false IDs, and providing state-funded health care and increased pay for New Jersey Army National Guard members on active duty within the state.

Before coming to the Senate, Coniglio served on several different committees within his hometown including the Paramus Borough Council from 1981 to 1990, where he served as Council President from 1985 to 1990, the Paramus Board of Adjustment (1976–1981), and the Paramus Shade Tree Commission from 1974 to 1976.

Conviction and incarceration
In 2009, Coniglio was convicted of five counts of mail fraud and one count of extortion. The mail fraud conviction was later thrown out of court, but the extortion cost Coniglio 20 months of confinement in a federal prison for corruption. He was also forced to pay $15,000 in fines.

A Lesson Before Dying

A Lesson Before Dying is Ernest J. Gaines' eighth novel, published in 1993. It was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and won the National Book Critics Circle Award. The novel is based on the true story of Willie Francis, a young Black American man best known for surviving a failed electrocution in the state of Louisiana in 1946.

Plot summary
In the late 1940s backdrop of a small Cajun community during the Jim Crow Era. Jefferson, a young black man, is accused and convicted of a murder for perpetrating a shoot-out in a liquor store which left three men killed. Being the sole survivor of a crime that occurred unwittingly, Jefferson is sentenced to death. The story unfolds his search for justice as within his trial, Jefferson's attorney explains to the jury "What justice would there be to take his life? Justice, gentlemen? Why, I would as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this." Jefferson's godmother, Miss Emma Glenn, and Tante (Aunt) Lou, the aunt of local school teacher Grant Wiggins, ask Lou's nephew Wiggins to turn Jefferson from a "hog" to a "man." However, in order to accomplish this they must first get permission from Sheriff Sam Guidry. They successfully ask Sheriff Guidry's brother-in-law Henri Pichot, whose family Miss Emma served for years, for assistance. Wiggins, who left his hometown for tertiary education, has returned from university to teach locally. Whilst Wiggins takes the job in contemplation of whether to maintain his position or to completely move away from the place of his childhood, both Jefferson's godmother and his aunt successfully persuade him to go on a prison-visit and impart wisdom to Jefferson before his death. Over the course of the novel, Grant and Jefferson unexpectedly form a close friendship as the two men both come to comprehend the importance of resistance and defying conformity. As they understand compassion, human struggles and existential revelations through their newfound brotherhood, Grant also forms a bond with the white Deputy Paul Bonin. In early February, it is announced that Jefferson will be executed soon, on April 8. Around then, Reverend Ambrose becomes concerned that Grant, an agnostic, is not teaching Jefferson about God and thus begins to visit him regularly to reverse Grant's spiritual impartments. The conflict reaches a head when Grant buys Jefferson a radio, which the seniors in the black community, or "quarter," see as sinful. The novel ends with the anti-climax of Jefferson's death by execution and, much to Grant's surprise, a visit from Paul in which he tells Grant that "Jefferson was the strongest man in that crowded room".

Point of view
The book provides perspective on the status of African Americans in the South after World War II and before the Civil Rights Movement. It shows the Jim Crow American South through the eyes of a formally educated African American teacher who often feels helpless and alienated from his own country. In the novel, Grant is the only educated black man in the area and the only member of the black community who might be considered capable of becoming free of overt oppression. The character feels his life and career choices are severely limited due to racial prejudices, an example of this in the novel being his instinct to refer to white male authority figures as "Sir". In order to break away from his social conditions, Grant's yearning to escape this situation heightens over time throughout the story. Grant feels that he is cornered by myriad forces: his aunt's incessant desires, pressures to conform to a fundamentalist religion that he does not believe, the children's needs to fulfil his role as a teacher, and the community's craving for proper leadership.

Time period
The context of the novel can be depicted in Chapter 12 when the writer mentions Jackie Robinson. The quote, "All three stood talking baseball. Jackie Robinson had just finished his second year with the Brooklyn Dodgers," indicates that the story takes place in early October 1948, a time that dates the darkest histories of race relations for African Americans.

School/church
The writer draws the novel's focus on the challenges of religious education. Grant, an agnostic, spends most of his time in the church on the Henry Pichot Plantation. The school that he teaches in is the same place in which the town gathers on Sunday morning for praise and worship. Grant is continually challenged with the fact that he feels he is an outsider in his place of work; he does not attend church with the rest of his settlement. Despite Grant's personal atheism, much of the black culture and community focus on religion. Throughout the entire novel, this school is seen as a place of discrimination.

Bayonne
Bayonne is an actual city in France, but also the fictional Louisiana town where the generation is set before the Civil Rights movement in the South, depicted in the novel.

Title
The title of this novel refers to Grant's attempts to teach Jefferson a lesson. In order for Grant to be able to show Jefferson how to 'become a man,' he must understand the meaning himself before imparting his learning to another person. In the novel, the butterfly acts as a symbol towards the end as proof that both of these men have succeeded in their goals to be spiritually transcended.

"…I watched it fly over the ditch and down into the quarter, I watched it until I could not see it anymore. Yes, I told myself. It is finally over." At this point Grant realizes that Jefferson truly did learn a 'lesson before dying.' When he says "It is finally over," he is not only referring to Jefferson's life, but states it as a double entendre that also acknowledges his cowardly nature before enlightenment is "finally over." The character has fully taken a stand for what he believes in. This insures that he, too, has benefited from this entire experience. Jefferson's life was sacrificed in order for the white people in the community to gain a better understanding of the value of the black members in all societies.

Awards and nominations

 * 1993 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction
 * October 1997 choice of Oprah's Book Club

Film, TV or theatrical adaptations
On May 22, 1999 HBO premiered A Lesson Before Dying, which subsequently received two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Television Movie and Outstanding Writing for a Mini-Series or Movie (South African screenwriter Ann Peacock) and a Peabody Award. Don Cheadle portrays Grant, Mekhi Phifer portrays Jefferson, and Cicely Tyson is featured as Tante Lou.

A play by Romulus Linney and a Southern Writers' Project, based on the novel and having the same title, had its world premiere at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in January 2000 and Off-Broadway in September 2000. Rooted Theater Company (East New York, Brooklyn) staged a production of A Lesson Before Dying in June 2017.

Stuart Pearson

Stuart James Pearson (born 21 June 1949) is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward. He appeared in three FA Cup finals, two for Manchester United and one with West Ham United.

Hull City
Pearson started his career with hometown club Hull City, whom he joined as an amateur while doing an apprenticeship as a telephone engineer. He scored 44 league goals for the Tigers after becoming a first team regular when record scorer Chris Chilton left in 1971.

An assistant manager to Terry Neill at the time was Tommy Docherty, who subsequently became manager of Manchester United and signed Pearson in May 1974 for £200,000, with reserve player Peter Fletcher moving to Hull as part of the deal.

Manchester United
Pearson was bought by Manchester United after they were relegated to the Second Division and was instrumental in getting the club promoted back to the First Division the next season by scoring 17 goals. Every time he scored a goal he would celebrate with a raised right fist. He was in the team that lost 1–0 to Southampton in the 1976 FA Cup Final. The next year Pearson helped Manchester United win the 1977 FA Cup Final against Liverpool, scoring the first of Manchester United's goals in their 2–1 win. He was sidelined for nearly all of the 1978–79 season due to a knee injury but made a full recovery before leaving Manchester United for West Ham United in August 1979.

West Ham United
He helped the Hammers win the 1980 FA Cup Final, with his cross-shot setting up Trevor Brooking for the only goal in a 1–0 win over Arsenal. During interviews after the game, Barry Davies described him as "a big occasion player" and suggested that but for his injuries he would have been England's finest striker.

Pearson retired from league football in 1982 due to a knee injury, but continued to play at a lower level, in South Africa and the NASL.

International career
Pearson won 15 caps for England between 1976 and 1978, scoring five goals.

Coaching career
After retiring as a player, Pearson moved into coaching, serving as coach of Stockport County in 1985–86 and manager of Northwich Victoria during the first half of 1986–87. He became assistant manager/coach at West Bromwich Albion in 1988 and acted as caretaker manager for six games in 1991 following Brian Talbot's departure. Pearson left Albion in 1992 and was assistant manager at Bradford City from 1992 to 1994. He has also been a pundit for MUTV. He moved to Spain in the mid-2000s.

Iowa–Wisconsin football rivalry

$$

The Iowa–Wisconsin football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Iowa Hawkeyes and Wisconsin Badgers. Both schools have competed as members of the Big Ten Conference since 1900 (Wisconsin since 1896), and both currently compete in the conference’s West division.

History
The Heartland Trophy is a brass bull that is presented to the winner of the annual game. Although the rivalry is over 100 years old, the trophy is relatively new. It was first presented in 2004 to Iowa, when they defeated Wisconsin 30–7 to claim a share of the conference title. In 2005, Iowa spoiled the last home game for Wisconsin head coach Barry Alvarez, defeating the Badgers at a rain-soaked Camp Randall Stadium 20–10. The Badgers took possession of the trophy for the first time in 2006, defeating Iowa 24–21 in a back-and-forth affair. Wisconsin evened the Heartland Trophy series in 2007, winning another closely contested game 17–13, under the lights at Camp Randall. In 2008, Iowa took the lead in the trophy series with a lopsided 38–16 victory. The Hawkeyes' second-half performance was key again in 2009, as they won 20–10 in Madison. The 2010 game was decided in the final minute, as the Badgers scored a late touchdown for a 31–30 victory at Kinnick Stadium. As of the 2023 season, Wisconsin leads the trophy series 10–8.

Due to Big Ten expansion, Wisconsin and Iowa were placed in separate divisions, ostensibly ending the annual rivalry after the 2010 season. The annual game resumed, however, during the 2014 season, when a new round of expansion (adding Maryland and Rutgers to the Big Ten), placed Wisconsin and Iowa together in the Big Ten West division.

Madang

Madang (old German name: Friedrich-Wilhelmshafen) is the capital of Madang Province and is a town with a population of 27,420 (in 2005) on the north coast of Papua New Guinea. It was first settled by the Germans in the 19th century.

History
Nicholai Miklukho-Maklai was probably the first European to visit the area. In 1871 he stayed at Astrolabe Bay south of present-day Madang for 15 months. He had a good relationship with the local communities before leaving, suffering from malaria.

In April 1884 an expedition by the German New Guinea Company led by Otto Finsch and Eduard Dallmann arrived and named the landing point "Friedrich Wilhelmshafen"; however, they felt that the area was unsuitable for a settlement. A subsequent survey in 1888 mentioned good soil conditions that would make a coffee plantation possible. In the summer of 1891 a station was built and by September 1892 was the seat of the provincial administration; however, the Imperial Government Commissioner remained at Stephansort, some 23 kilometers away due to concerns about malaria. The name of "Madang" was used by Papuan natives who had accompanied the German administrators after their home island and only became the official name of the settlement towards the end of the German administration. Although the settlement was expanded from 1893-1894 with warehouses, a sawmill, hospital and other facilities, (including an ox-drawn railway to Stephansort) various ventures, such as the coffee plantations and atap palm processing proved economically ruinous, due to malaria and inclement climate. From 1895 and 1896 several German warships were stationed here for a survey of surrounding waters, during which time a total of 295 men came down with malaria. In 1899 the capital of the New Guinea Company was transferred to Herbertshöhe on the island of New Pomerania (now New Britain).

Following World War I, the area was turned over to Australia as part of the League of Nations mandated Territory of New Guinea.

The Imperial Japanese Army captured Madang without a fight during World War II in 1942. In September 1943, Australian forces launched a sustained campaign to retake the Finisterre Range and Madang. The town was captured on April 24, 1944, but during the fighting and occupation it was virtually destroyed and had to be rebuilt afterwards.

NGO presence in Madang
Madang is viewed by many in the country as being safer and more pleasant for expatriates than the larger cities of Lae and Port Moresby. Because of this, some NGOs have chosen Madang as the location of their main offices in country.

CUSO (a Canadian NGO) and VSO (a British NGO) both have their headquarters in Madang.

Save the Children, WWF, and World Vision are also present with branch offices in Madang.

As a consequence Madang has a larger number of expatriates working and living in the town than its small population would suggest.

Climate
Like other parts of Papua New Guinea, Madang has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen climate classification Af), with significant rainfall throughout the year and the temperature being hot year-round. The average annual high temperature is 30.6 C, while the average annual low temperature is 23.8 C. Temperatures remain consistent throughout the year, but there is variation between the month. February has the highest average high at 31.2 C. Multiple months have the highest average low at 23.9 C. July and August has the lowest average high at 30.2 C. July has the lowest average low at 23.4 C.

Madang receives 3106.8 mm of rain over 224 precipitation days, with abundant rainfall throughout the year but a wetter and drier season. April, the wettest month, receives 389.4 mm of rainfall over 23 precipitation days on average. September receives the least rainfall of any month, receiving 82.6 mm of rainfall over 11 precipitation days. Madang receives 2184 hours of sunshine annually on average, with the sunshine being distributed fairly evenly across the year, with a noticeable dip in the wetter months. September receives the most sunshine, while March receives the least.

Education
Madang is the home of Divine Word University. Madang Museum is a small museum that features natural science and ethnographic objects from the local area and East Sepik Province more widely. It shares a building with Madang Visitors and Cultural Bureau.

Products
Industry and farming are growing constantly in importance, especially for export. There are the widespread coconut palm plantations on the coast and cardamum is grown in Madang.

The Kulili plantation is the second largest of Kar Kar Island's twelve plantations with its more than a thousand coconut palms and cocoa trees. 70% of the cocoa and 50% of the copra produced in Madang province comes from Kar Kar.

In Madang province 173 regional languages are spoken, some of them being extremely different from the others.

Timsbury, Hampshire

Timsbury is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Michelmersh and Timsbury, in the Test Valley district, in Hampshire, England. It is near the town of Romsey, mainly along the A3057 road running north from Romsey towards Stockbridge, and shares a boundary with the village of Michelmersh.

It has a population of approximately 400.

History
The name "Timsbury" is derived from the Old English timber + byrig (dative of burh), meaning 'timber fort or manor'.

Timsbury has grown from a traditional village centred on the Manor House (now split into many dwellings) and the Church of St Andrew. Although there may have been a Saxon church, the current Grade II listed building dates from around the early 15th century and was badly damaged by fire on 9 March 2014.

Historically, Edmund Sharp and his wife Alice moved from the county of Berkshire to Timsbury towards the end of the seventeenth century. A direct descendant of Edmund Sharp was Richard Sharp, once hailed as possibly being the most popular man in Georgian London.

An interesting anecdote has survived concerning one of Edmund's sons, Richard, who, born in 1665 gained a reputation as an accomplished wrestler and ‘cudgeller’ in the area. Even in those days cudgelling was a very old custom and especially popular in the West of England where great pride was attached to skills which were often handed from father to son. It was a fast and furious activity conducted brutally using a short club and the expression ‘to break a head’ was associated with the cudgeller's sport since the victor was he who first drew blood from a gash to the head.

The story recorded by his grandson and clearly cherished by later generations underlines the extent of Richard's physical prowess,"While he lived at Romsey he of a summer’s day rode up to Timsbury, where he lived, where he had been brought up and where when young he had been so fond of wrestling. It so happened that a stage was erected and sitting on his horse he stayed long enough to see a man throw two or three men who had mounted the stage against him, till all were intimidated from entering the list; the conqueror …. triumphed on the stage with so much arrogance that my grandfather was tempted to humble him; therefore he got off his horse, mounted the stage, threw the boaster on his back and having humbled the boaster he immediately took horse and left them."In time the Sharp family became well established in the Romsey area and during the 18th and 19th centuries many of them held important positions as merchants or influential citizens of Romsey. A brass floor plate in Romsey Abbey commemorates many of them.

Cartoonist Norman Thelwell made his home in the village, in a remodeled farmhouse with a trout pond, described in his 1978 book A Plank Bridge by a Pool.

Village life
In modern Timsbury, the local amenities include a garden centre with cafe, a pub called "The Malthouse", a car sales garage, a fishery, St Andrew's Church of England church, a Jehovah Witness's Kingdom Hall, a recycling site, the Hunts Farm Sports Ground, and a pre-school. The ladies of Timsbury were bequeathed a hall which was used by the Women's Institute (WI), however, following a decline in local WI membership the hall was sold to the village band.

The British Olympic athletics team trained at Timsbury Manor before the 1964 Olympics in September 1964

Many local facilities are shared within the civil parish of Michelmersh and Timsbury due to their close proximity, including the Jubilee (village) Hall and the sports pavilion. The villages share a common village design statement to guide development in the area.

The local telephone exchange is located in nearby Braishfield, with most telephone numbers in the village 01794 368XXX.

The parish publishes a bi-monthly newsletter distributed free to households in the parish.

Civil parish
In 1931 the parish had a population of 257. On 1 April 1932 the parish was abolished and merged with Michelmersh.

Nearby
Adjacent villages include Awbridge, Kimbridge, Mottisfont, Mottisfont & Dunbridge railway station, Lockerley, Houghton, Hampshire, Horsebridge railway station, Kings Sombourne, Braishfield, Hursley, Ampfield,

Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland

Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) is the official mapping agency of Northern Ireland. The agency ceased to exist separately on 1 April 2008 when it became part of Land and Property Services, an executive agency of the Northern Ireland Department of Finance and Personnel, along with the Rate Collection Agency, the Valuation and Lands Agency, and the Land Registry.

Description
It was an Executive Agency within the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure in the Northern Ireland Executive.

The Ordnance Surveys of Northern Ireland, Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland share a common heritage: the British Ordnance Survey (OS) ceased to map Ireland just before the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922 (the Partition of Ireland having already taken place in May 1921 with the creation of Northern Ireland). The new Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI) officially came into existence on 1 January 1922, while the new Ordnance Survey of Ireland (OSI) came into being slightly later, on 1 April 1922.

Products
The vast majority of OSNI's income came from the licensing of its digital mapping data, which, because of the long history of mapping in Ireland (see Ordnance Survey) is amongst the most detailed and comprehensive in the world. Digital products range from the Large Scale (1:1250 urban and 1:2500 rural) vector database, 1:10,000 raster mapping derived automatically from the L/S vector, 1:50,000 and 1:250,00 vectors, 1;10,000 orthophotography, 1:25,000 leisure maps, the 1:50,000 raster series, 1:250,000 Ireland North raster, street maps of the main conurbations, as well as paper derivatives of all the raster products.

In 2005 OSNI began, with the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), to digitise the complete set of historical maps dating back to the 1830s. (The earliest comprehensive and accurately surveyed large scale mapping in the world). These are being georectified to match modern mapping projections and are being annotated with points of interest from PRONI's archives.

OSNI also maintained the UK's only common address database, Pointer, which cross matches and validates the address data from the Royal Mail, Valuation and Lands Agency, OSNI and local authorities, and georeferences each address, as well as giving it a unique identifier. This allows spatial interrogation by customers of the >800,000 addresses in NI using computerised Geographic Information Systems (GIS) combined with digital mapping and the customer's own data.

Supporting the interconnectivity of Geographical Information (GI) for the benefit of the Northern Ireland economy, society and administration was OSNI's primary purpose. In support of this, OSNI also provides the secretariat for Mosaic, the GI strategy for Northern Ireland, which is the first such strategy to be implemented in the UK. In support of Mosaic, OSNI is currently (2006) building a GeoHub for the region, which will be able to host and connect to spatial data from multiple sources, permit a metadata (data about the data) search and, using thin client browser applications, via the Internet, permit multiple data layers to be interrogated, connected, analysed, licensed, downloaded, uploaded and updated.

Starting in Spring 2006, OSNI's own full product range is available via a map-enabled e-commerce website at www.osni.gov.uk OSNI's surveying technology is based on both photogrammetry and ground survey using total station electronic theodolites in combination with pen (tablet) computers, so that the data is updated directly into the digital format. The photogrammetry (using flight-derived stereo imagery at high resolution) is also used to maintain height models of the topography (Digital Terrain Model or DTM). Computer software permits the draping of aerial photography and/or mapping over such models for the purposes of fly-through or drive-through 3D visualisations. OSNI's Geodesy section maintains the positional reference system to millimetre precision and OSNI's ground stations allow high accuracy use of the GPS system.

Remi Moses

Remi Mark Moses (born 14 November 1960) is an English former footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

He broke into the first team at West Bromwich Albion under the management of Ron Atkinson in the late 1970s, when Albion were enjoying a strong run of form which saw them finish in the top five for all but one season between 1977 and 1981, and also reached a UEFA Cup quarter-final.

Whilst a West Bromwich Albion player he played in a benefit match for Len Cantello, that saw a team of white players play against a team of black players.

In the autumn of 1981, Moses was transferred from West Bromwich Albion to Manchester United for £500,000, arriving at Old Trafford a month before Bryan Robson who went for a club record £1.5 million.

He made his United debut on 19 September 1981 against Swansea City. He scored his first goal for United in the same season, and in doing so became the first black player to score for the club.

Moses was a key midfielder for United during the 1980s, but suffered a succession of serious injuries. He missed the FA Cup final triumphs of 1983 due to suspension and 1985 due to injury, and played his last game for the club in the 1987–88 season.

He was on the verge of being capped for the England team in 1985 before an injury ruled him out of action, causing him to miss most of the 1985–86 season. He also faced competition from Norman Whiteside for a place in central midfield, after Whiteside was converted from a striker to a midfielder.

Injuries had gradually forced him out of the team and he finally announced his retirement from playing in the 1988–89 season at the age of just 28.

In 2000, Moses was working as a property dealer in Alkrington, Greater Manchester, and in his spare time, coaching the Manchester Warriors under-20 inline skating side, which had just won the GB Inline Hockey League and "every other trophy going".

Lost and found (band)
Would you mind explaining why you thought this article was "vanity"? It doesn't seem to me to fit the criteria outlined in the policy. It was POV, yes, and it was edited by a fan (but so are the articles on most bands, to be fair), but the band seems to have a bit wider interest than "vanity" would suggest. My understanding of the latter is that it covers articles about your brother, or your cat, but not about minor bands that you happen to like.Dr Zen 05:43, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hey, Andrevan. (Nice user page, btw). I took out that stuff at Nintendo DS because it's un-encyclopedic. The stuff on the "stagnation in the industry" reads like an op-ed. As for the removal of the items about how it couldn't read Gameboy games, it's old data, why do we need that? It can read both Gameboy Advance and Gameboy (thanks modders!), so it's irrelevant (IMO), what people thought of at E3. Anyways, if you want that stuff about the industry, could you at LEAST wikify it please, to make it sound less like a Nintendo press release?. Thanks. Terrapin 20:56, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Massachusetts Avenue (metropolitan Boston)

Massachusetts Avenue (colloquially referred to as Mass Ave) is a major thoroughfare in Boston, Massachusetts, and several cities and towns northwest of Boston. According to Boston magazine, "Its 16 miles of blacktop run from gritty industrial zones to verdant suburbia, homeless encampments, passing gentrified brownstones, college campuses and bustling commercial strips."

Route
The street begins at Everett Square in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester and runs southeast-northwest through Boston, paralleling Interstate 93 for a short distance. Massachusetts Avenue passes below part of the Boston Medical Center complex near Harrison Street, before passing above routes 9, 2, and the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90). It crosses the Charles River from the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston into the city of Cambridge via the Harvard Bridge, where it passes both U.S. Route 3 and MA-Route 3, it then bisects the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, passes through Central Square, and curves around two sides of Harvard Yard at Harvard Square. After Harvard Square it turns sharply northward, passes Harvard Law School, then passes through Porter Square, where it bears northwestward. It continues through North Cambridge, Arlington, and Lexington, where it enters the Minuteman National Historical Park.

Extended route
The road, by the same name, continues northwest and west, through many different cities and towns. It largely parallels or joins Route 2 and Route 2A, all the way into central Massachusetts, with a few gaps at towns that have different names for the central road.

For much of its length, Massachusetts Avenue is a center of commercial activity, especially through the larger towns. Apartments, shops, and restaurants fill both sides of it, and there is a lot of pedestrian traffic.

A number of linear parks cut across various portions of Mass. Ave., including the Southwest Corridor Park, the Commonwealth Avenue portion of the Emerald Necklace, the Charles River Bike Path, the Cambridge Linear Park, Alewife Brook Reservation, and the Minuteman Bikeway.

Towns and cities on the Massachusetts Avenue route

 * Boston
 * Cambridge
 * Arlington
 * Lexington
 * Concord (signed as North Great Road from Hanscom Field to the town bypass; route through town unclear; resumes on the Concord Turnpike west of town)
 * Acton
 * Boxborough
 * Harvard
 * Lunenburg signs Route 2A as Mass Ave, but there is no defined route through Shirley or Ayer.

Notable buildings, institutions, and landmarks along the route

 * Mass and Cass
 * Chester Square
 * Matthews Arena, world's oldest functioning indoor sports venue
 * Northeastern University
 * Symphony Hall (Boston Symphony Orchestra)
 * Horticultural Hall
 * The Mary Baker Eddy Library and its Mapparium

Paul Revere's ride
On the night of April 18–19, 1775, Paul Revere rode his horse down a portion of this road, then known as the Great Road, on his "Midnight Ride", and William Dawes and Samuel Prescott also rode on portions of this road on their way to Concord. These travels were on the Cambridge side of the Charles River; the Harvard Bridge was not constructed until the 1880s.

Early names and evolution
Massachusetts Avenue was formed at the end of the nineteenth century from what were separate roads. In Boston the road was previously called East Chester Park south of Chester Square and West Chester Park to the north (Chester Square is in the South End and is now called Chester Park). Across the river in Cambridge the road follows part of what was once Front Street near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then follows the former Main Street to Harvard Square (Main Street originally ran between Kendall and Harvard Squares, and the part to the east of Central Square retains the original name). From Harvard Square to the Arlington line at Alewife Brook it follows what had been North Avenue since 1838, and prior to that the Road to Menotomy. In Arlington it follows the former Arlington Avenue, and in Lexington it follows the former Main Street south of the Battle Green and the former Monument Street north of the Battle Green.

Mass transit
Massachusetts Avenue is served with direct connections for a number of the MBTA's bus and subway routes between Lexington and Boston.

Direct bus connections on Mass Ave include, , , , , ,, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , a stop on the Silver Line bus, and LexPress.

MBTA subway stations, from west to east, include Porter, Harvard, and Central along the Red Line; both the Hynes Convention Center and Symphony along the Green Line; and a station along the Orange Line under the Mass Ave. name. An additional stop at Arlington Center was mooted during the 1980s Red Line extension but ultimately was not constructed.

Two MBTA Commuter Rail stations are located on Massachusetts Avenue, Porter in Cambridge and Newmarket at the South Bay Shopping Center in Dorchester.

mozilla
Hi, Andrevan. Why the Mozilla reversion? Bbpen 21:20, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Kindly read the edited version more carefully; I removed no information. Moreover, the edit solved several sentence structure problems. For example, the problem of IE's non-adherence to Web standards -- largely, its nonstandard interpretation of HTML and CSS -- is no longer grouped under the inappropriate rubric of "insecurity." The edit also reduces the emphasis on Microsoft actions, which is distracting and out of place in the introduction of an already overlong article (46K!) on Firefox. Indeed, I'd suggest we delete the last sentence entirely, and take the thought up when the article mentions SP2 far below. Bbpen 01:02, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * "Poor program design" is redundant; all of IE's flaws noted here are poor program design. Similarly, "insecurity" is covered for the purposes of the intro by citing the ActiveX and malware examples. The topic is delved into in much more detail below -- as is the Microsoft history. Moreover, the sentence "Microsoft, for its part, has said that..." does not makes your point, which (I gather) is that MS' lackluster response to consumer demand opened a crucial opportunity for Firefox. If you want to say that, go ahead; it sounds like a valuable addition. But the text doesn't say that now -- and it says what it does say more clunkily than necessary. Bbpen 05:38, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi Andre. Question regarding "biased" article topics.
Thank you for the welcome. I do have one question that you may be able to answer. I've noticed that some articles like chickenhawk, 2004 election controversies, Ohio, and liberal media are to some extent or another political and inherently geared towards one side of the political spectrum or another. However, these articles may also contain valuable information. Where does Wikipedia draw the line between not having POV and removing concrete knowledge from the encyclopedia?

Japanese names
Some people like to know the original name of a fictional character. In addition, the article talks about things specific to the Japanese version of SSBM (e.g. seiyu). So why not do it here? WhisperToMe 20:57, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Miskolc Synagogue

The Miskolc Synagogue, also called the Kazinczy Street Synagogue or the Great Synagogue of Miskolc, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in the town of Miskolc, in the county of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Hungary. It is the only remaining synagogue in the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county.

History
The synagogue was designed by Ludwig Förster and built between 1856 and 1862 in Romanesque Revival and |Rundbogenstil styles. Its Kazinczy Street façade has a rose window and narrow Gothic Revival windows. The synagogue has three aisles. The women's balcony is supported by slim iron pillars decorated with Gothic Revival and Byzantine Revival elements. The painting of the walls feature ornamental Eastern design.

When designing the synagogue, Förster made some innovations: he had an organ built and the Torah reader's platform was put before the Ark, not in the centre of the synagogue. These innovations were rejected by the Orthodox majority of the city's Jews, and in the year following the opening of the synagogue a rabbinical assembly in Sátoraljaújhely excommunicated the rabbi of Miskolc. The congregation decided to remove the organ from the synagogue and put the platform in the centre, in accord with  tradition.

This event led to a split in the Jewish community, and the local Hasidim ("Sefardim") separated from the rest, building a small place of worship in Kölcsey street, which no longer survives. Another synagogue, built in Pálóczy Street in 1817, was demolished in 1963.

According to the 1920 census, Miskolc had approximately 10,000 Jewish residents (16.5% of the total population) but the majority of them fell victim to The Holocaust. At the Déryné Street entrance to the synagogue are marble tablets commemorating the Holocaust. Another commemorative plaque can be seen in János Arany Street, where the ghetto once was.

, the city had approximately 500 Jewish residents.

Talk:Coromandel

Coromandel Also a type of Ebony. Richly prized for its golden veining in the dark brown or near black heart wood. Used by Victorian carpenters for exotic furniture and jewelry boxes of all types. Pieces large enough to make items as large as sideboards, cupboards and occasional tables were rare. The trees were found on the Coromandel coast in East India and along the coastal regions of the Andaman Sea. Regrettably lumbered to extinction around the beginning of the 20th century.

Alternatives today, though much inferior in grain and colour is Macassar Ebony or Golden Ebony.

Poverty industry

The terms poverty industry or poverty business refer to a wide range of money-making activities that attract a large portion of their business from the poor. Businesses in the poverty industry often include payday loan centers, pawnshops, rent-to-own centers, casinos, liquor stores, lotteries, tobacco stores, credit card companies, and bail-bond services. Illegal ventures such as loansharking might also be included. The poverty industry makes roughly US$33 billion a year in the United States. In 2010, elected American federal officials received more than $1.5 million in campaign contributions from poverty-industry donors.

In poorer countries, the poverty industry exploits the bottom of the pyramid and its extent can at times be used as a litmus test to assess the effectiveness of poverty-alleviation initiatives. In some cases, the poverty industry directly takes advantage of poverty-alleviation initiatives (e.g. formal, government-supported microfinance). For example, some moneylenders misrepresent themselves as formal microfinance initiatives or obtain loans from formal microfinance initiatives through deception. They on-lend these loans to micro-entrepreneurs (informal intermediation).

Phaselis

Phaselis (Φασηλίς) or Faselis (Faselis) was a Greek and Roman city on the coast of ancient Lycia. Its ruins are located north of the modern town Tekirova in the Kemer district of Antalya Province in Turkey. It lies between the Bey Mountains and the forests of Olympos National Park, 16 km south of the tourist town of Kemer and on the 57th kilometre of the Antalya–Kumluca highway. Phaselis and other ancient towns around the shore can also be accessed from the sea by daily yacht tours.

History
The town was set up by the Rhodians in 690 BC. Because of its location on an isthmus separating two harbours, it became the most important harbour city of eastern Lycia and an important centre of commerce between Greece, Asia, Egypt, and Phoenicia, although it did not belong to the Lycian League. The city was captured by Persians after they conquered Asia Minor. Cimon, in 468 BC, attacked the city and it was enrolled in the Delian Confederacy. Later it was captured by Alexander the Great.

After the death of Alexander, the city remained in Egyptian hands from 209 BC to 197 BC, under the dynasty of Ptolemaios, and with the conclusion of the Apamea treaty, was handed over to the Rhodian Peraia, together with the other cities of Lycia. From 190 BC to 160 BC it remained under Rhodeian hegemony, but after 160 BC it was absorbed into the Lycian confederacy under Roman rule. Phaselis, like Olympos, was under constant threat from pirates in the 1st century BC, and the city was even taken over by the pirate Zekenites for a period until his defeat in 77 or 76 BC by the Romans under Publius Servilius Vatia Isauricus. In 42 BC Brutus had the city linked to Rome. In the 3rd century AD, the harbor fell under the threat of pirates once again. So it began to lose importance, suffering further losses at the hands of Arab ships, until totally impoverished in the 11th century. When the Seljuqs began to concentrate on Alanya and Antalya as ports, Phaselis ceased to be a port of any note.

There was a temple of Athene at Phaselis, where the lance of Achilles was exhibited. It was the birthplace of the poet and orator Theodectes. It was also renowned for its roses, from which the essence was extracted.

Bishopric
Phaselis became a Christian bishopric, a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Mira, the capital of the Roman province of Lycia. Its bishop Fronto took part in the Council of Chalcedon in 451. His successor, Aristodemus, was one of the signatories of the letter that in 458 the bishops of Lycia sent to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian concerning the murder of Proterius of Alexandria. The bishop of the time of the Second Council of Nicaea (787) did not attend, and the acts were signed in his name by a deacon called Ioannes.

No longer a residential bishopric, Phaselis is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.

 * Critolaus, a Greek Peripatetic philosopher
 * Theodectes, a Greek rhetorician and tragic poet

Phaselis today
Phaselis has three harbours: the 'Northern Harbour', the 'Battle Harbour' and the 'Protected (Sun) Harbour', of which the last is the most important today. A 24-metre-wide ancient street runs through the middle of the city. The 'Hadrian Waterway Gate' is on the southern part of the street. There are ruins of shops and stores on the sides of the street and near these are ruins of public places such as Roman baths, agoras and theatres. These structures are dated to the 2nd century BC. There are water canals between the town centre and the 70 m plateau. There are also numerous sarcophagi.

Fulminate

Fulminates are chemical compounds which include the fulminate ion (CNO-, C-\tN+\sO-). The fulminate ion is a pseudohalic ion because its charge and reactivity are similar to those of the halogens. Due to the instability of the ion, fulminate salts are friction-sensitive explosives. The best known is mercury(II) fulminate, which has been used as a primary explosive in detonators. Fulminates can be formed from metals, such as silver and mercury, dissolved in nitric acid and reacted with ethanol. The weak single nitrogen-oxygen bond is responsible for their instability. Nitrogen very easily forms a stable triple bond to another nitrogen atom, forming nitrogen gas.

Historical notes
Fulminates were discovered by Edward Charles Howard in 1800. The use of fulminates for firearms was first demonstrated by a Scottish minister, Alexander John Forsyth, who patented his scent-bottle lock in 1807; this was a small container filled with fulminate of mercury. Joshua Shaw determined how to encapsulate them in metal to form a percussion cap, but did not patent his invention until 1822.

In the 1820s, the organic chemist Justus Liebig discovered silver fulminate (AgCNO) and Friedrich Wöhler discovered silver cyanate (AgOCN). They have different properties but the same chemical composition, which led to a bitter dispute finally resolved by Jöns Jakob Berzelius through the concept of isomers.

Compounds

 * Fulminic acid
 * Mercury(II) fulminate
 * Potassium fulminate
 * Silver fulminate

Frank Stapleton

Francis Anthony Stapleton (born 10 July 1956) is an Irish former professional football player and manager. He is best remembered for his time at Arsenal, Manchester United and as a pivotal player for the Republic of Ireland national team. He has also been manager at Bradford City and MLS club New England Revolution.

Playing career
Stapleton was a distinguished centre forward, once touted as being among the best in the world in his position, and an exceptionally strong header of the ball. He started his career with Arsenal, joining them in 1972 as an apprentice, after being turned down by Manchester United. He made his first-team debut in March 1975, at home to Stoke City, and would go on to form a potent striking partnership with Malcolm Macdonald; the two scored 46 goals between them in 1976–77. He was Arsenal's top scorer for the three following seasons, and helped the Gunners reach a trio of FA Cup finals; Stapleton scored one of the goals in Arsenal's 1979 FA Cup Final 3–2 win over Manchester United, and scored 108 goals in 300 appearances in total for the Gunners.

Stapleton went on to move to Manchester United in the summer of 1981 for £900,000 (a fee set by tribunal after the two clubs could not agree) as new manager Ron Atkinson began building a team capable of challenging for silverware after a disappointing 1980–81 season under Dave Sexton. He helped United win the 1983 and 1985 FA Cups. It was in the first of those finals, when he scored against Brighton, in which Stapleton made history by becoming the first man to score for two different clubs in FA Cup Finals. United finished in the top four of the league in each of Stapleton's first five seasons at Old Trafford, and came close to winning a league title medal in the 1985–86 season after United won their first ten league games of the season before their form slumped and they finished fourth. Atkinson was sacked and replaced by Alex Ferguson in November 1986, and Stapleton remained a regular member of the first team under the new manager, but soon after Brian McClair arrived at the club, Stapleton moved to Ajax on the recommendation of former team mate, Arnold Mühren in the summer of 1987. But the move failed to live up to expectations, as he made just six appearances and scored one goal against Dundalk in the Cup Winners Cup, before he made a short loan-spell at Belgian side Anderlecht at the end of 1987, without making a single performance. Stapleton then played on loan for three months with Derby County before heading to the European Championshipsin in 1988 as the captain of the Republic of Ireland side. He then played for French club Le Havre for a season, before returning to England again with Blackburn Rovers in 1989, followed by moves to Aldershot, Huddersfield Town (as player-coach) and Bradford City.

After three seasons as player-manager at Bradford, he was sacked following their narrow failure to qualify for the Division Two playoffs at the end of the 1993-94 season. He then had a brief spell at Brighton & Hove Albion in the 1994–95 season, playing two games before finally announcing his retirement as a player.

International career
Stapleton also won 71 caps for the Republic of Ireland national team, scoring a then record 20 goals. Stapleton made his international debut under then player-manager Johnny Giles in a friendly against Turkey in Ankara in 1976 at 20 years of age. He scored after only three minutes of his debut when he headed home a Giles free-kick at the near post. That friendly international finished 3–3 and marked the start of a magnificent international career for the quiet and reserved Stapleton.

Stapleton was committed to international football insisting that an "international release clause" be inserted to all of his contracts so that he could be released to play in international games for Ireland.

Stapleton played a significant role in Ireland's attempt to qualify for the World Cup in Spain in 1982. Goals against Cyprus, the Netherlands and France for Stapleton in the qualifying matches were not enough as Ireland were denied a place at the World Cup by a superior French goal difference. Stapleton was made captain of the national team for the qualifying campaign for the 1986 World Cup though Ireland failed to emulate their fine performance in the 1982 qualifiers.

Jack Charlton took over as the Irish manager in 1986 and he kept Stapleton as captain despite a sometimes uneasy relationship between the two men. Stapleton scored a magnificent diving header in the opening Euro 1988 qualifier against Belgium in the 2–2 draw at the Heysel Stadium, Brussels that September. He also scored in the 2–1 defeat by Bulgaria in Sofia on 1 April 1987, with another goal against Luxembourg in the 2–1 victory at Lansdowne Road the following September.

Stapleton captained the Irish team to the 1988 Euro finals and played in all of their matches during the competition including Ireland's famous victory against England.

After the 1988, European Championships Stapleton remained on the fringe of the national team during qualification for World Cup Italia 1990 making just two appearances late in the campaign. By then, his 20 goals for the Republic had made him the national side's all-time leading goalscorer – a record which would be broken ten years later by Niall Quinn, who was in the early stages of his own international career when Stapleton bowed out of the international scene.

He did, however, score an 87th-minute goal against Malta in a 3–0 friendly in Valletta just prior to those finals in Italy.

Managerial career
Stapleton moved to the United States to manage Major League Soccer side New England Revolution in 1996. In the 2003–04 season he briefly returned to English football as a specialist coach of Bolton Wanderers. The Bolton manager Sam Allardyce wanted Stapleton to enhance the skills of the strikers at the club and saw the Irishman as an ideal candidate, given his successful playing career.

Stapleton was appointed assistant manager to former teammate Ray Wilkins with Jordan on 3 September 2014.

Personal life
His sister Helena played for the Republic of Ireland women's national football team in the 1980s

Merge and NPOV tags
This article does not source its statements and lists highly disputed statements from the Bigfoot-only supporters side. Any salvagable information should be added (following NPOV policies) to Bigfoot. DreamGuy 21:18, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * I know I probably shouldn't be judging the article based on this, but I can't help but be suspicious when I see so many spelling and grammar mistakes. In any event, I agree with you on both counts (I just don't know enough about Bigfoot to actually help, unfortunately). --Whimemsz 22:48, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

For the sheer sake of article bulk, this should remain a seperate article from the bigfoot article.--The_stuart 23:56, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with The_stuart. The only problem is, an article like this is central to the Bigfoot controversy and it is a regret it is missing. If someone can break away other, not so vital sections of the current Bigfoot article, than this one can be, and should be, merged. --Every1blowz 17:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

It just occurred to me that someone jumped the gun and went ahead and merged the articles before there was any formal decision. So in other words, this article is currently useless as all the information can be found in the Bigfoot article. Alright, whatever, that’s how Wikipedia is. --Every1blowz 17:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Other POV
The skeptics can relax, for despite the limited studies done by unpaid scientists in their spare time, no solid evidence for Bigfoot has surfaced, such as bones or a body. You just cannot, however, expect always that there will be an equal number of non-productive studies, for the sake of a specious "balance". The skeptics did take two Bigfoot trips, however, Robert Sheaffer of CSICOP, went with Jon-Erik Beckjord, (joined later by a family of 6) in 1999, and he did not see nor hear Bigfoot. Dr Molly Hanson of CSICOP, also went with Beckjord on an expedition in 1989, to the mountains of AZ, and she found Bigfoot tracks independently, and became a believer.

All editors should remember that Wikipedia is NOT a scholarly encyclopedia, it is a general encyclopedia, and does not need the exactness of citations the other type needs. This is not a scientific JOURNAL.

SAM

 * Uhm, actually, even though Wikipedia isn’t exactly a scholarly encyclopedia, formal use of citations is a policy. Sure, we don’t have to get every single thing down perfect, but it is preferable and should not be discouraged. --Every1blowz 17:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Carl Franklin

Suggested Page Move
To Carl Frankin (Director) There is another well-known Carl Franklin (Software Architect/Radio Host), a disambiguation page at "Carl Franklin" should exist, and a new article for the other Carl Franklin created. --Overand 21:19, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Just a comment. The new name should be Carl Franklin (director) (not Director).  -- Rick Block 01:26, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Seems unnecessary at this point. The director is the only 'Carl Franklin' mention in the article. When articles about other 'Carl Franklin's are created, then would be the time to consider a move and disambig page. Lachatdelarue (talk) 22:40, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved. This can be done as and when another one is created. violet/riga (t) 10:34, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Michelmersh

Michelmersh is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Michelmersh and Timsbury, in the Test Valley district, in the county of Hampshire, England. It is 3 miles (3 mi) north of Romsey.

The Monarch's Way long-distance footpath crosses the parish, passing through the churchyard of the 12th century St Mary's Church. The Georgian former rectory, Michelmersh Court, is Grade II* listed and was for many years the home of Sir David and Lady Carina Frost.

The parish is located to the east of the River Test on the northern edge of the Hampshire Basin, with chalk in the north. To the south and east of the village this is overlain by Palaeocene sands and clays of the Lambeth Group. At the southern are younger deposits of Eocene age, sloping from a ridge of the Nursling sands into a valley of London Clay. It has a brick and tile works, and extensive former sand pits on Casbrook Common, now used as a landfill site.

The name Michelmersh is derived from the Old English micel + mersc, meaning ' large marsh'.

Civil parish
On 1 April 1932 the parish of Timsbury was merged with Michelmersh, on 19 November 2003 the merged parish was renamed "Michelmersh & Timsbury". In 1931 the parish of Michelmersh (prior to the merge) had a population of 1101.

Church
Parts of the church date to the 12th century with extensions added in the 13th century. It was twice restored in the 19th century once 1846-7 and the second time 1888–9.

The font dates from around the 14th century although it appears to have been modified at some point after 1822.

In popular culture
Michelmersh is known for being one of the main locations for the filming of the 1980s British TV series Worzel Gummidge. Other locations include nearby villages of Stockbridge, King's Somborne and Braishfield.

Notable people with a connection to Michelmersh

 * Mary Watson, one of the first two women to study chemistry at the University of Oxford

Substub template
I created a new image for the Substub template (the Stub template has one, so I figured the Substub template could use one, too), but then I noticed it was locked. Would this image be acceptable for such use?

Fair use
The image Image:Alucard.jpg has today found its way to the Swedish Wikipedia (sv:Bild:Alucard.jpg) and caused a discussion about coyright law and fair use. I notice that you added the tag to the image a while ago. Do you still think that it is fair use to have the picture on Wikipedia? In my view, fair use allows Wikipedia using bookcovers, albumcovers, company logotypes and similary pictures, not drawings of this kind. Regards, Thuresson 16:47, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Re: Small wiki letter
Deleting it would be fine.

Mr. Do!
I re-read your shot at the page and I reconsidered. :) You're right, it does look better with the sequel information in the first paragraph. So I reverted it back to how you had it. I read that you are a video arcade enthusiast. Have you checked out the Arcade Wikiproject page? I know you are busy with being an admin and all but any contributions you can offer would be welcome. I seem to be the only one actively writing articles at the moment (I've done Sinistar, Ladybug and a few others), so more help would definitely be welcome. I have a feeling you have contributed yourself, but I'm just making sure. :) Anyway, my apologies for being hasty. I am still new at this (been on Wikipedia for about a month) and I haven't totally shaken It's-my-article-itis. I'm workin' on it. :) --Woohookitty 09:06, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Sixth era of gaming
I'm not really sure what happened here, but upon looking at the article 128-bit era, the talk page was somehow moved to Sixth era of gaming. (I missed it at first). I know there was a big discussion about the appropriate name for the article and while I don't feel 128-bit is correct, I do think the sixth era of gaming article should be merged back with the 128-bit discussion page until resolution can be made. Heh.. the article Sixth era which is a talk page really, has a discussion page too. It's really kind of messed up. Just thought I would alert you so something can be done about this if you're in agreement. K1Bond007 03:50, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

Atheism
Andre, could you explain on the Talk page why you protected the article again, and what you expect to happen before it is unprotected again? I don't really think it was necessary. I actually don't have much objection to Adraeus' latest version, apart from a few copyedits to smooth out his text stylistically. Also, since you have been an editor of this article, and have participated also in the Talk page quite extensively, making your own views quite known, it might have been better to let some other admin protect it. For the past few months, Mgm has been the admin watching this article, and in my view has done a very good job in projecting neutrality, and I would suggest in the future that you ask him to protect it if it looks necessary to you.
