Talk:Law of the People's Republic of China

Guanxi and corruption
Removed...

 * Periodic campaigns against institutionalised corruption have proved ineffective in reducing economic and legal crime. Guanxi is a part of China's "living law" and will continue to exert influence on the operation of legal implementation.

First of all, it contributes to the mistaken idea that guanxi and corruption are connected. Second, it's far from clear that guanxi is will continue to be an important part of Chinese legal implementation.

Roadrunner 22:36, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * The connection between guanxi and corruption is by now very well documented and established. One of the most recent studies is Schramm, M. and M. Taube (2002), "The Institutional Economics of Legal Institutions, Guanxi, and Corruption in the PR China" . They argue persuasively that state that Chinese guanxi networks embed individuals in social structures that provide safeguards against opportunism, but they simultaneously facilitate corrupt transactions. Few would deny that at present corruption and guanxi in China poses huge problems for law enforcement, and with no end in sight. --Yu Ninjie 23:43, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Legal formalism
Wrong on a number of counts....

 * With respect to justice, the government has promoted the ideal of legal formalism, the notion that the strict implementation of law is justified irrespective of the fairness of outcome. This ideal has been largely rejected by an increasingly cynical population. There is a perception that the implementation of law is dictated by party members, who are spared the implementation of criminal law by the substitution of party discipline.

First of all, it's not clear to me that the government has promoted legal formalism. It's also far from clear that the population is becoming increasingly cynical about the law. The second statement needs to be rewritten, since it over simplifies quite a bit.

Roadrunner 22:41, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Law in Hong Kong

 * In Hong Kong, the delegitimising effect of the same dichotomy on the formal legal system is limited by the well-established structures that ensure accountability of government under the common law.

Such as....

The only thing I can think of right off hand is the ICAC and that isn't a common law body.....

Roadrunner 22:54, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * The bodies which I was referring to are those common law structures and doctrines inherited from Britain. The continuation of this system is guaranteed both by international treaty (the Sino-British Joint Declaration) and by constitutional provisions (the Basic Law). Legal doctrines such as the rule of law and case precedent have a much longer tradition in common law than in Chinese law. I will try to clarify the passage. --Yu Ninjie 23:59, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Law or farce?
It's a well known fact that China courts are often pure fabrications, with corruption and facts hidden. As the main article on China law, while it describes the processes and policies very well, it wouldn't be POV to indicate how bad the court system is in China. Elfguy 05:59, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Need rewrite

 * But as China is still a regime of collective dictatorship of CCP, the practice of rule of law is infeasible. The PRC is strongly resistant to a western style of division of power among executive, legislative and judicial branches, and the law is still a tool of the CCP instead of cornerstone of a republic. With the reform and opening to outside policy, China may have make great improvements in its legislation skills and adopted many advanced legal principles or concepts, but in practice rule of law is still facing vast obstacles.

Two problems:

1) There is a huge amount of legal issues that don't involve human rights, politics, or the party. For example, in the PRC, you have your standard contract disputes, traffic tickets, zone disputes, petty crimes, major crimes, people suing each other over someones pet dog, etc. etc. etc.

2) You run into the difficult and controversial question of what rule of law means. For example, if you try to establish an opposition party, the government will try to get you under the section of the criminal code involving subversion of state authority.  You will have a properly constituted trial with a defense attorney to try to prove that you didn't try to subvert state authority.  Trouble is, that if you did try to start an opposition party, you really did, and according to the law, you should go to jail.

Is rule of law operating?

I've seen law professors spend tens of pages trying to argue this issue. It's not something that you want to summarize in one paragraph or worse yet take a position on.

Roadrunner 06:37, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

POV stuff & comments on the "CCP"
I was going through this article just making general improvements, tidying it up, and it seems like every section has a paragraph at the end asserting some baseless negative generalization about the Chinese legal system. I'm not a big fan of the system either, but it's not the most graceful style to have stuff like that added on at the end of each part. It's almost as if the article periodically goes on a conspiracy theory rant. In addition, the same paragraphs always make reference to a "CCP" which isn't a valid acronym that I know of. My guess is the author is referring to the CPC - the Communist Party of China. I've left those parts more or less as they were, but they definitely need to be looked over. Does anyone know what the "CCP" is, or is it the CPC? Can any useful information be salvaged from these blurbs? --LakeHMM 04:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * "CCP" is the same as "CPC" -- Chinese Communist Party, Communist Party of China. "CCP" is often used; I've never before seen "CPC", myself. -- 202.82.152.13 04:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

problem with this paragraph
Needs citation otherwise problematic due to NPOV.

Also, the laws in the PRC don't seem to me to be vaguer than most civil law systems.

 * Given laws and regulations greater detail would assist the PRC's economic development in the long term, as it increases certainty, encouraging market rational behaviour. However, in the short run, detailed law limits the flexibility to respond to rapid political and economic change. This indicates a fundamental difference in legal philosophy to that which exists in Western legal systems. The official rationale underlying the vagueness of enacted laws can be found in legal texts such as Theories on the Basis of Legal Science (法学基础理论) by Professor Chen Shouyi. Chen considers that law must have stability as the superstructure of society, but be able to change when economic relations change.

Review of administrative acts
That section needs to be reworded. PRC Courts do not have the power of judicial review in overturning administrative regulations, but under the Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China they do have the power to nullify a specific administrative action.

M-24 (Michigan highway)

M-24 is a north–south state trunkline highway in the U.S. state of Michigan that extends 75.691 mi through Southeast Michigan and The Thumb, from northeast Auburn Hills to Unionville. It starts at an interchange with Interstate 75 (I-75) and ends where it merges with M-25. While the M-24 designation is similar to that of US Highway 24 (US 24) which has a northern terminus located only a few miles from the southern terminus of M-24, M-24 was never part of US 24.

The first M-24 in Michigan was replaced by M-20 when US 10 replaced the original M-20 in 1926. A 1936 bypass of downtown Pontiac resulted in the creation of M-24A which later became BUS M-24 in 1940. An extension in 1997 moved the northern end of M-24 northward from Caro to Unionville, replacing a section of M-138 in the process.

Route description
M-24 begins a hundred feet south of an overpass that is part of a double trumpet interchange with I-75 in Auburn Hills. The interchange also connects with an entrance into The Palace of Auburn Hills, former home of the NBA's Detroit Pistons, and a variety of electronic signs are contained in the area to indicate the status of access to the entrance. The roadway is a continuation of Business Loop I-75 (BL I-75) that travels through Pontiac. This section of the highway dedicated to William Davidson, former owner of the Pistons, in legislation signed by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder in May 2011.

The section of M-24 from its southern terminus in Auburn Hills north to the village of Oxford is one of the busiest stretches of road in the state in terms of annual average daily traffic (AADT). Near The Palace of Auburn Hills, 50,600 vehicles used the roadway on average in 2007. The road is a standard Michigan expressway design, with at-grade intersections, traffic signals, and Michigan Lefts. M-24 continues north through the Bald Mountain Recreation Area and along the eastern shore of Lake Orion in the village of Lake Orion. This expressway continues a few miles north of the Lapeer County line, where the highway becomes a two-lane highway for a few miles, before returning to expressway from Metamora to I-69. South of Metamora, M-24 runs parallel to the former right-of-way for the Michigan Central Railroad north into the city of Lapeer.

M-24 continues north from Lapeer running west of Barnes Lake and east of the community of Columbiaville just south of the M-90 junction. South of the Tuscola County line, the trunkline passes the Greenbriar Golf Club and crosses the Pere Marquette Railroad before turning west along Saginaw Road into the community of Mayville and turning north along Mertz Road. South of Caro, M-24 meets M-46. Once past Frank Street in Caro, M-24 becomes Ellington Street. M-24 then comes to meet M-81 in Caro, where the highway becomes Cleaver Road. M-24 then jogs west along Biebel Road and then north along Unionville Road past a junction with M-138 to end in Unionville at M-25.

M-24 is also known locally as Lapeer Road in several areas, including Orion Township, Oxford Township, and Metamora. In the Village of Oxford, it is also known as Washington Street. In downtown Lapeer, it is known as Main Street, and north of Mayville as Mertz Rd. In the Unionville area, it is also known as Unionville Road.

Original designation
In 1919, the first M-24 was designated along today's M-20. From Midland east, M-24 continued along today's M-47. When the U.S. Highway System was created, US 10 replaced M-20 and M-20 in turn replaced the first M-24. The M-24 designation was then applied to the current routing.

Current designation
The current designation was assigned in two pieces, Pontiac to Lapeer and Vassar to Bay City. The two sections would be joined in 1927 by a concurrency along M-21 and M-15. This arrangement lasted until a permanent solo routing was created in 1930. The Pontiac area saw a rerouting of M-24 to an eastern bypass of town in 1936. The former routing in town became M-24A. It would be redesignated as BUS M-24 in 1940 when the State Highway Department debuted business routes in Michigan. The northern terminus was moved to M-81 in Caro in 1942, and the southern terminus was shifted to the present location in 1963. Prior to a 1997 extension, M-24 ended at M-81 in Caro; now it continues up to M-25 in Unionville.

From 2006 to 2008, M-24 was expanded to a boulevard between Metamora and Lapeer. There is still a two lane section between the Lapeer/Oakland County Line and Metamora that is planned to be upgraded in the near future. The construction has been delayed because of development close to the highway near Metamora.

El Camino Hospital

El Camino Health is a non-profit hospital with 420 beds (Mountain View Main Campus) based on a 41 acre campus in Mountain View, California. There is a second, smaller hospital campus, El Camino Hospital, Los Gatos, in Los Gatos, with additional satellite clinics in the West Valley/Lower Peninsula area of Silicon Valley. Since September 2017, the CEO has been Dan Woods.

El Camino Health serves residents in the El Camino Healthcare District, a special tax district that includes Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and portions of Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and Cupertino, as well as people in surrounding communities. The hospital opened in 1961 following a successful ballot initiative in 1956 to establish the tax district and fund the construction of the hospital with $7.3 million in bonds. In 2009 it bought the former Community Hospital of Los Gatos and renamed it El Camino Hospital Los Gatos. Land was acquired in 2016 for a campus in San Jose.

El Camino Health has several times been designated a nursing magnet hospital by the American Nursing Credentialing Center. Specialties include acute rehabilitation, cardiac care, dialysis, cancer care, maternal child health services, orthopedics, neurosurgery and behavioral health.

U.S. News ranked the hospital #25 (out of 428 hospitals) for Best Hospitals in California.

World War Three (Doctor Who)

"World War Three" is the fifth episode of the first series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who which was first broadcast on BBC One on 23 April 2005. It is the second of a two-part story which began with "Aliens of London" on 16 April.

In the episode, set in London, the alien time traveller the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston) and his companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) team up with Rose's boyfriend Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke), her mother Jackie (Camille Coduri), and Member of Parliament Harriet Jones (Penelope Wilton) to foil the plan of the alien Slitheen family from selling the Earth for commercial purposes. The Slitheen, who have infiltrated the Government of the United Kingdom, plan to get the United Nations to release nuclear activation codes so they can trigger World War III on Earth and sell the remains.

Similar to the previous episode, this episode's mention of the Series wide arc of "Bad Wolf" comes in the form of Graffiti on the side of the TARDIS, which the Doctor orders the perpetrator to re-paint and fix at the end of the episode.

Plot
Mickey is able to push aside the impostor police inspector advancing on Jackie in her flat. Escaping the electrical pulse of the Slitheen in 10 Downing Street, the Ninth Doctor attempts to get the police, but by the time he has returned the Slitheen get back into their suits. The Doctor escapes to the upper floors of Downing Street and reunites with Rose and Harriet in the Cabinet Rooms. Just before sealing off the rooms, the Doctor confronts the Slitheen and learns that they are a family rather than a race. The Slitheen tell him that they are not invading Earth but raiding it for some commercial purpose.

Making contact with Mickey, the Doctor gives him instructions on how to log into the UNIT website on his computer. The Doctor uses the information to determine that the Slitheen ship is presently in the North Sea transmitting a signal. After the Doctor figures out the Slitheen are weak to acetic acid, Jackie and Mickey use gherkins, pickled onions and pickled eggs from Mickey's flat to kill the Slitheen who was impersonating the police inspector.

Green and the other Slitheen declare a national emergency and request that the United Nations release the activation codes to launch a nuclear strike against a fictitious mothership. The Doctor realises that the Slitheen actually plan to fire the weapons against other countries in order to start World War III. The Slitheen plan to sell the Earth's radioactive remains as a fuel source, which they have already begun advertising through the signal. Through Harriet's insistence, the Doctor helps Mickey to hack into the controls of a Royal Navy submarine and fire a missile at 10 Downing Street, even though the Doctor is unsure whether they will survive. The Slitheen are caught in the explosion when the missile hits but the Doctor, Rose, and Harriet all survive. With the Prime Minister dead, the Doctor suggests that Harriet could become Prime Minister.

The Doctor gives Mickey a CD to upload to the internet that will remove all mentions of the Doctor from the web. He also privately offers Mickey the chance to travel with him, but Mickey admits that he is too scared to handle it. He asks the Doctor not to tell Rose about his concerns. Rose arrives with a full backpack and asks the Doctor if Mickey can come along, and the Doctor covers for him.

Production
According to Russell T Davies (among others), this episode was called "Aliens of London, Part Two" until the last minute, when the name was changed to "World War 3", soon amended to "World War Three". The Telos Publishing Ltd. book Back to the Vortex cites "10 Downing Street" as another working title. This decision has proved to be a precedent, as in the original series all multi-episode stories shared a title from "The Savages" onwards. All multi-episode stories in the new series have continued to have individual titles except "The End of Time" and "Spyfall".

Cast notes
Lachele Carl reappears as the American reporter seen in "Aliens of London". She is later seen in "The Christmas Invasion", "The Sound of Drums", "The Poison Sky", "Turn Left", "The Stolen Earth" and the Sarah Jane Adventures story Revenge of the Slitheen. In "Turn Left," it is revealed that her name is Trinity Wells. She also appeared in the spin-off Torchwood, in the five-episode serial Children of Earth.

Broadcast and reception
"World War Three" received a final rating of 7.98 million viewers in the United Kingdom. The episode received an Audience Appreciation Index score of 81.

Like the first part of the story, "World War Three" has received generally mixed reviews. Arnold T Blumburg of Now Playing gave the episode a grade of C+, finding it slightly better than "Aliens of London" because it minimized the "juvenile" humour associated with the Slitheen and had good performances by the actors portraying them, though some of the effects were lacking. He criticised the direction and "thin" resolution of the UNIT missile operated from a home computer, but he praised the storyline with Rose's family, highlighting the performances of Clarke and Coduri. In 2013, Patrick Mulkern of Radio Times felt that Wilton's performance as Harriet Jones was the best part of the "flashy but silly, disappointing story". He praised Rose's storyline due to the "vivid" characters, though he found Eccleston's performance lacking. He also was critical of the Slitheen as believable monsters to be taken seriously. The A.V. Club reviewer Alasdair Wilkins gave the episode a grade of B−. He found the problem to be more in the execution than conception; there was a possibility of satire in the fart jokes of the Slitheen, but the direction and performances let it down. Because it veered close to being silly and not taking the Slitheen seriously, he argued that the televised version did not display its more nuanced parts, like each Slitheen having individuality, the exploration of the human race knowing about extraterrestrials, and Rose's home life. Wilkins also questioned why the Slitheen would invade a country that required the UN's permission to launch nuclear missiles. In Who is the Doctor, a guide to the revived series, Graeme Burk noted that the story was "loved and hated by fans in equal measure" but it was an unexpected "delight" for him. He found the Slitheen's humour to work on many levels and highlighted the domestic conflict and the performances. Burk's coauthor Robert Smith? [the "?" is part of his nom de plume] called it the closest the new series and Davies "ever gets to pastiching the Classic Series' most beloved writer, Robert Holmes." He also praised the domestic situation, though he found the political satire "one-note" and the direction disappointing. "World War Three" he described as "slight" on plot with improbable Internet-ready missiles, but the ending was still "wonderful" and Eccleston's performance of the more serious material sold the episode.

Criticism of the Iraq War

The U.S. rationale for the Iraq War has faced heavy criticism from an array of popular and official sources both inside and outside the United States. Putting this controversy aside, both proponents and opponents of the invasion have also criticized the prosecution of the war effort along a number of lines. Most significantly, critics have assailed the U.S. and its allies for not devoting enough troops to the mission, not adequately planning for post-invasion Iraq, and for permitting and perpetrating widespread human rights abuses. As the war has progressed, critics have also railed against the high human and financial costs.

Some academics see such costs as inevitable until US foreign policy turns away from expanding US hegemony. Professor Chip Pitts asserts that an American empire exists, but argues that it is profoundly at odds with better instincts of US citizens and policymakers, and that rejecting neo-colonialism by military means as employed in the Iraq War is a prerequisite to restoring domestic civil liberties and human rights that have been infringed upon by an imperial presidency – while crucial, as well, to promoting peace and stability in the Middle East and other places of vital US interest. The Center for Public Integrity alleges that President Bush's administration made a total of 935 false statements in a two-year period about Iraq's alleged threat to the United States.

Government expenditures
A British investigation (Panorama, 9 June 2008) estimates that around $23 billion (£11.75 billion) may have been lost, stolen or not properly accounted for in Iraq.

The United States Department of Justice has imposed gagging orders that prevent further investigation.

International law
The use of force by a state is prohibited by Article 2 (4) of the UN Charter. The only exceptions are with Security Council authorization under Chapter VII, which was not obtained, or in self-defense against an armed attack by another state under Article 51. The US government stated that an armed attack by Iraq did occur against the US and its coalition partners as demonstrated by the assassination attempt on former US President George H. W. Bush in 1993 and firing on coalition aircraft enforcing the no-fly zones over Northern and Southern Iraq since the 1991 Gulf War ceasefire agreement. Under Article 51 of the UN Charter, the US reserved the right to self-defense, even without a UN mandate, as were the cases in the bombing of Iraq in June 1993 in retaliation for Hussein's attempt on former President Bush's life and again in 1996 in retaliation for Hussein's targeting of American aircraft patrolling the no-fly zones over Northern and Southern Iraq and the launching of a major offensive against the city of Irbil in Iraqi Kurdistan in violation of UNSC Resolution 688 prohibiting repression of Iraq's ethnic minorities.

On September 16, 2004 Kofi Annan, the secretary general of the United Nations, said of the invasion, "I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN charter. From our point of view, from the charter point of view, it was illegal."

Furthermore, before the invasion even the then UK Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, advised that the war would likely be illegal for several reasons including the lack of a Security Council resolution. He later changed his mind when it appeared that the invasion would take place regardless of the legal situation.

Even prominent supporters of the war have accepted that it was illegal. Richard Perle, a hawkish member of the Pentagon has stated that "international law ... would have required us to leave Saddam Hussein alone."

On the day Resolution 1441 was passed, the US ambassador to the UN, John Negroponte, assured the Security Council that there were no "hidden triggers" with respect to the use of force, and that in the event of a "further breach" by Iraq, resolution 1441 would require that "the matter will return to the Council for discussions as required in paragraph 12." However, he then added: "If the Security Council fails to act decisively in the event of further Iraqi violations, this resolution does not constrain any Member State from acting to defend itself against the threat posed by Iraq or to enforce relevant United Nations resolutions and protect world peace and security."

Troop levels
The troop level for the initial invasion of Iraq was controversial throughout the run-up to the war, particularly among U.S. military personnel. In 1999, then head of United States Central Command Marine General Anthony Zinni (ret.) organised a series of war games known as Desert Crossing to assess an invasion aimed at unseating Saddam Hussein. His plan, which predicted much of the violence and instability that followed the actual invasion, called for a force of 400,000 troops. Consistent with the Desert Crossing scenarios, the original U.S. army plan for the invasion of Iraq contemplated troop levels of up to 500,000, but Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared this plan "the product of old thinking and the embodiment of everything that was wrong with the military", and decided on an invasion force of approximately 130,000, bolstered by some 45,000 British troops and a handful from other nations. The plan to invade with a smaller force was publicly questioned by then Army Chief of Staff General Eric Shinseki, who, during a February 25, 2003 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, suggested that an invasion force would be "on the order of several hundred thousand soldiers." In a November 15, 2006, hearing of the same committee, General John Abizaid, then head of U.S. Central Command, confirmed that "General Shinseki was right that a greater international force contribution, U.S. force contribution and Iraqi force contribution should have been available immediately after major combat operations."

Post-invasion plans
In addition to raising questions about troop levels, critics of the Iraq War have argued that the U.S. planning for the post-invasion period was "woefully inadequate." In particular, critics have argued that the U.S. was unprepared for the widespread looting and the violent insurgency that immediately followed the invasion. Soon after the invasion, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, a leading architect of the war, acknowledged that the U.S. made assumptions related to the insurgency that "turned out to underestimate the problem." Pre-war beliefs about the occupation were inherently rosy, with Vice President Cheney noting on "Meet the Press" that U.S. forces would be "greeted as liberators". Subsequent reports have indicated that oversights such as the failure to control access to the Qa'qaa munitions factory in Yusufiyah allowed large quantities of munitions to fall into the hands of al-Qaida.

The U.S. plans for reconstructing Iraq have also come under heavy fire. In a February 2006 report, Stuart W. Bowen Jr., the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, wrote that: "There was insufficient systematic planning for human capital management in Iraq before and during the U.S.-directed stabilisation and reconstruction operations." Critics have particularly chastised the Pentagon, which was charged with preparing for the post-invasion period, for largely ignoring a $5 million study entitled the Future of Iraq Project, which the U.S. State Department compiled in the year preceding the invasion. In a 2013 report, the Watson Institute at Brown University concluded that, as the report was described by Daniel Trotta for Reuters, "the $212 billion reconstruction effort was largely a failure with most of that money spent on security or lost to waste and fraud".

Human and financial costs
As the Iraq War progressed from the relatively short invasion period to the considerably longer and more costly occupation, many critics argued that the war was no longer worth the growing number of casualties among both U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians. For example, the U.S. organisation Gold Star Families for Peace, launched by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and other parents of soldiers killed in Iraq and other wars, advocated "bringing an end to the occupation of Iraq" by raising "awareness in the United States about the true human costs of the invasion/occupation of Iraq."

Just as the human costs mounted, the total financial costs also rose from the initial Bush administration estimates of $50 billion to more than $400 billion total, most of it coming from the United States, but at least £4 billion from the United Kingdom. As the war bill grew, many U.S. politicians, including some who supported the invasion, begun to argue its cost outweighed its benefits, and that it was jeopardizing the preparedness of the U.S. military. For example, on March 29, 2007, Nebraska senators and longtime rivals Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Ben Nelson (D-NE) released a joint statement saying that "there is now a 'significant' risk that the United States military will not be able to respond to an emerging crisis."

Effect on global war on terror
During the run-up to the invasion a group of 33 international relations scholars took out a full-page ad in The New York Times suggesting, among other things, that invading Iraq would distract the United States from its fight against al-Qaeda and further destabilize the Middle East.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was advised prior to the invasion, "that the greatest terrorist threat to Western interests came from al-Qaeda and related groups, and that this threat would be heightened by military action against Iraq." The International Institute for Strategic Studies agreed, saying in late 2003 that the war had swollen the ranks of al-Qaida and galvanised its will by increasing radical passions among Muslims. Ten years later, a report from the Watson Institute "concluded the United States gained little from the war while Iraq was traumatized by it. The war reinvigorated radical Islamist militants in the region, set back women's rights, and weakened an already precarious healthcare system".

In January 2004, an Army War College report said the war diverted attention and resources from the threat posed by Al Qaeda. The report by Jeffrey Record, a visiting research professor at the Strategic Studies Institute of the Army War College, called for downsizing the nebulously defined "war on terrorism" and focusing more narrowly on the threat from Al Qaeda.

Impact on Israel
As early as October 2004, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that Jewish support for the war had declined, due to fears of its negative impact on Israel, as well as the broader controversy.

Effect on religious minorities
After the invasion there was a general lawless state in Iraq which is directly attributable to the invasion. This has allowed some Islamic extremists to take roots in the country and attack people of religious minorities which they consider to be infidels. Among these religious minorities are the Chaldeans and the Mandaeans.

Hubbard model

The Hubbard model is an approximate model used to describe the transition between conducting and insulating systems. It is particularly useful in solid-state physics. The model is named for John Hubbard.

The Hubbard model states that each electron experiences competing forces: one pushes it to tunnel to neighboring atoms, while the other pushes it away from its neighbors. Its Hamiltonian thus has two terms: a kinetic term allowing for tunneling ("hopping") of particles between lattice sites and a potential term reflecting on-site interaction. The particles can either be fermions, as in Hubbard's original work, or bosons, in which case the model is referred to as the "Bose–Hubbard model".

The Hubbard model is a useful approximation for particles in a periodic potential at sufficiently low temperatures, where all the particles may be assumed to be in the lowest Bloch band, and long-range interactions between the particles can be ignored. If interactions between particles at different sites of the lattice are included, the model is often referred to as the "extended Hubbard model". In particular, the Hubbard term, most commonly denoted by U, is applied in first principles based simulations using Density Functional Theory, DFT. The inclusion of the Hubbard term in DFT simulations is important as this improves the prediction of electron localisation and thus it prevents the incorrect prediction of metallic conduction in insulating systems.

The Hubbard model introduces short-range interactions between electrons to the tight-binding model, which only includes kinetic energy (a "hopping" term) and interactions with the atoms of the lattice (an "atomic" potential). When the interaction between electrons is strong, the behavior of the Hubbard model can be qualitatively different from a tight-binding model. For example, the Hubbard model correctly predicts the existence of Mott insulators: materials that are insulating due to the strong repulsion between electrons, even though they satisfy the usual criteria for conductors, such as having an odd number of electrons per unit cell.

History
The model was originally proposed in 1963 to describe electrons in solids. Hubbard, Martin Gutzwiller and Junjiro Kanamori each independently proposed it.

Since then, it has been applied to the study of high-temperature superconductivity, quantum magnetism, and charge density waves.

Narrow energy band theory
The Hubbard model is based on the tight-binding approximation from solid-state physics, which describes particles moving in a periodic potential, typically referred to as a lattice. For real materials, each lattice site might correspond with an ionic core, and the particles would be the valence electrons of these ions. In the tight-binding approximation, the Hamiltonian is written in terms of Wannier states, which are localized states centered on each lattice site. Wannier states on neighboring lattice sites are coupled, allowing particles on one site to "hop" to another. Mathematically, the strength of this coupling is given by a "hopping integral", or "transfer integral", between nearby sites. The system is said to be in the tight-binding limit when the strength of the hopping integrals falls off rapidly with distance. This coupling allows states associated with each lattice site to hybridize, and the eigenstates of such a crystalline system are Bloch's functions, with the energy levels divided into separated energy bands. The width of the bands depends upon the value of the hopping integral.

The Hubbard model introduces a contact interaction between particles of opposite spin on each site of the lattice. When the Hubbard model is used to describe electron systems, these interactions are expected to be repulsive, stemming from the screened Coulomb interaction. However, attractive interactions have also been frequently considered. The physics of the Hubbard model is determined by competition between the strength of the hopping integral, which characterizes the system's kinetic energy, and the strength of the interaction term. The Hubbard model can therefore explain the transition from metal to insulator in certain interacting systems. For example, it has been used to describe metal oxides as they are heated, where the corresponding increase in nearest-neighbor spacing reduces the hopping integral to the point where the on-site potential is dominant. Similarly, the Hubbard model can explain the transition from conductor to insulator in systems such as rare-earth pyrochlores as the atomic number of the rare-earth metal increases, because the lattice parameter increases (or the angle between atoms can also change) as the rare-earth element atomic number increases, thus changing the relative importance of the hopping integral compared to the on-site repulsion.

Example: one dimensional hydrogen atom chain
The hydrogen atom has one electron, in the so-called s orbital, which can either be spin up ($$\uparrow$$) or spin down ($$\downarrow$$). This orbital can be occupied by at most two electrons, one with spin up and one down (see Pauli exclusion principle).

Under band theory, for a 1D chain of hydrogen atoms, the 1s orbital forms a continuous band, which would be exactly half-full. The 1D chain of hydrogen atoms is thus predicted to be a conductor under conventional band theory. This 1D string is the only configuration simple enough to be solved directly.

But in the case where the spacing between the hydrogen atoms is gradually increased, at some point the chain must become an insulator.

Expressed using the Hubbard model, the Hamiltonian is made up of two terms. The first term describes the kinetic energy of the system, parameterized by the hopping integral, $$t$$. The second term is the on-site interaction of strength $$U$$ that represents the electron repulsion. Written out in second quantization notation, the Hubbard Hamiltonian then takes the form

 * $$ \hat{H} = -t \sum_{i,\sigma} \left( \hat{c}^\dagger_{i,\sigma} \hat{c}_{i+1,\sigma} + \hat{c}^\dagger_{i+1,\sigma} \hat{c}_{i,\sigma} \right) + U \sum_i \hat{n}_{i\uparrow} \hat{n}_{i\downarrow}, $$

where $$\hat{n}_{i\sigma} = \hat{c}_{i\sigma}^\dagger \hat{c}_{i\sigma}$$ is the spin-density operator for spin $$\sigma$$ on the $$i$$-th site. The density operator is $$\hat{n}_i = \hat{n}_{i \uparrow} + \hat{n}_{i\downarrow}$$ and occupation of $$i$$-th site for the wavefunction $$\Phi$$ is $$n_i = \langle \Phi \vert \hat{n}_i \vert \Phi \rangle$$. Typically t is taken to be positive, and U may be either positive or negative, but is assumed to be positive when considering electronic systems.

Without the contribution of the second term, the Hamiltonian resolves to the tight binding formula from regular band theory.

Including the second term yields a realistic model that also predicts a transition from conductor to insulator as the ratio of interaction to hopping, $$U/t$$, is varied. This ratio can be modified by, for example, increasing the inter-atomic spacing, which would decrease the magnitude of $$t$$ without affecting $$U$$. In the limit where $$U/t \gg 1$$, the chain simply resolves into a set of isolated magnetic moments. If $$U/t$$ is not too large, the overlap integral provides for superexchange interactions between neighboring magnetic moments, which may lead to a variety of interesting magnetic correlations, such as ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, etc. depending on the model parameters. The one-dimensional Hubbard model was solved by Lieb and Wu using the Bethe ansatz. Essential progress was achieved in the 1990s: a hidden symmetry was discovered, and the scattering matrix, correlation functions, thermodynamic and quantum entanglement were evaluated.

More complex systems
Although Hubbard is useful in describing systems such as a 1D chain of hydrogen atoms, it is important to note that more complex systems may experience other effects that the Hubbard model does not consider. In general, insulators can be divided into Mott–Hubbard insulators and charge-transfer insulators.

A Mott–Hubbard insulator can be described as

 * $$(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+} \mathrm O^{2-})_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ni}^{3+} \mathrm O^{2-} + \mathrm{Ni}^{1+} \mathrm{O}^{2-}.$$

This can be seen as analogous to the Hubbard model for hydrogen chains, where conduction between unit cells can be described by a transfer integral.

However, it is possible for the electrons to exhibit another kind of behavior:

 * $$\mathrm{Ni}^{2+} \mathrm O^{2-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Ni}^{1+} \mathrm O^{1-}.$$

This is known as charge transfer and results in charge-transfer insulators. Unlike Mott–Hubbard insulators electron transfer happens only within a unit cell.

Both of these effects may be present and compete in complex ionic systems.

Numerical treatment
The fact that the Hubbard model has not been solved analytically in arbitrary dimensions has led to intense research into numerical methods for these strongly correlated electron systems. One major goal of this research is to determine the low-temperature phase diagram of this model, particularly in two-dimensions. Approximate numerical treatment of the Hubbard model on finite systems is possible via various methods.

One such method, the Lanczos algorithm, can produce static and dynamic properties of the system. Ground state calculations using this method require the storage of three vectors of the size of the number of states. The number of states scales exponentially with the size of the system, which limits the number of sites in the lattice to about 20 on 21st century hardware. With projector and finite-temperature auxiliary-field Monte Carlo, two statistical methods exist that can obtain certain properties of the system. For low temperatures, convergence problems appear that lead to an exponential computational effort with decreasing temperature due to the so-called fermion sign problem.

The Hubbard model can be studied within dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). This scheme maps the Hubbard Hamiltonian onto a single-site impurity model, a mapping that is formally exact only in infinite dimensions and in finite dimensions corresponds to the exact treatment of all purely local correlations only. DMFT allows one to compute the local Green's function of the Hubbard model for a given $$U$$ and a given temperature. Within DMFT, the evolution of the spectral function can be computed and the appearance of the upper and lower Hubbard bands can be observed as correlations increase.

Simulator
Stacks of heterogeneous 2-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) have been used to simulate geometries in more than one dimension. Tungsten diselenide and tungsten sulfide were stacked. This created a moiré superlattice consisting of hexagonal supercells (repetition units defined by the relationship of the two materials). Each supercell then behaves as though it were a single atom. The distance between supercells is roughly 100x that of the atoms within them. This larger distance drastically reduces electron tunneling across supercells.

They can be used to form Wigner crystals. Electrodes can be attached to regulate an electric field. The electric field controls how many electrons fill each supercell. The number of electrons per supercell effectively determines which "atom" the lattice simulates. One electron/cell behaves like hydrogen, two/cell like helium, etc. As of 2022, supercells with up to eight electrons (oxygen) could be simulated. One result of the simulation showed that the difference between metal and insulator is a continuous function of the electric field strength.

A "backwards" stacking regime allows the creation of a Chern insulator via the anomalous quantum Hall effect (with the edges of the device acting as a conductor while the interior acted as an insulator.) The device functioned at a temperature of 5 Kelvins, far above the temperature at which the effect had first been observed.

Zach Randolph

Zachary McKenley Randolph (born July 16, 1981) is an American former professional basketball player. Nicknamed "Z-Bo", the 2-time NBA All-Star played college basketball for the Michigan State Spartans before being drafted in the 2001 NBA draft by the Portland Trail Blazers. He played for five teams over the course of his professional career, making the All-NBA Third Team in 2011 with the Memphis Grizzlies. He also played with the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings before retiring in December 2019. Randolph later planned to come out of retirement in 2020 to join the Big3.

High school career
Randolph grew up in Marion, Indiana, and attended Marion High School, where his coach was Moe Smedley. As a sophomore, he helped lead the Marion Giants to the 1998 Indiana Class 4A Championship Game. As a senior, he again led his team to the state championship game in which Marion High School won its seventh state basketball championship. He finished second in Indiana's "Mr. Basketball" voting that year behind Jared Jeffries, who played for the team the Giants beat in the state championship game and would later become Randolph's teammate with the Knicks. During the 2000 McDonald's All-American Game, Randolph was named MVP, finishing with 23 points and 15 rebounds.

College career
After high school, Randolph attended and played basketball for Michigan State University coached by Tom Izzo. His teammates at MSU included Jason Richardson, Charlie Bell. In his single season at Michigan State, he averaged 10.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game over 33 games, with a team that finished with a 28–5 record and advanced to its third straight NCAA Final Four. After his freshman season, he entered the 2001 NBA draft.

Portland Trail Blazers (2001–2007)
He was drafted by the Blazers in the first round (19th overall) in 2001. Continuing on from his college career, he remained in the power forward position. Randolph's tenure on the Trail Blazers proved tumultuous, and included off-court incidents such as being arrested for underage drinking in 2002 and on-court incidents such as punching teammate Ruben Patterson after arguing with teammate Qyntel Woods in 2003. Randolph was not the only member of the Trail Blazers with well-documented outbursts, as the team's reputation as being full of trouble makers was so notable that they were dubbed the Jail Blazers.

In the 2003 NBA Playoffs, Randolph averaged 13.9 points and 8.7 rebounds in a seven game series loss to the Dallas Mavericks, during which he twice recorded the highest single game rebound totals of any players on either team. In 2004, he won the NBA's Most Improved Player award, after which he signed a 6-year, $84-million extension with the Blazers.

Randolph averaged 23.6 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in the 2006–07 season, which was cut short in March 2007 due to a hand injury. In what would turn out to be his final game as a Trail Blazer, he accumulated a career high 43 points and 17 rebounds. In his six seasons with Portland, he averaged 16.0 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.

New York Knicks (2007–2008)
On June 28, 2007, Randolph, along with Dan Dickau, Fred Jones and the draft rights to Demetris Nichols, was traded to the New York Knicks in a draft day deal for Steve Francis, Channing Frye, and a 2008 2nd round draft pick. On July 2, 2007, Randolph was introduced at a press conference in New York, where he revealed he would wear the jersey #50. He played 69 games with the Knicks during the 2007–08 season, averaging a double-double, with 17.6 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. Randolph then played only 11 games in New York the next year, before being traded to the Clippers early in the 2008–09 season. In his time in New York, Randolph averaged 18.0 points and 10.6 rebounds per game.

Los Angeles Clippers (2008–2009)
On November 21, 2008, after playing 11 games with the Knicks in the 2008–09 season, Randolph was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers along with Mardy Collins in exchange for Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas. During a game against the Phoenix Suns on February 17, 2009, Randolph was ejected, and subsequently suspended two games, for punching Louis Amundson in the jaw. Randolph finished the 2008–09 season with the Clippers before being traded again. In his 39 games with the Clippers, he averaged 20.9 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.

Memphis Grizzlies (2009–2017)
On July 17, 2009, he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Quentin Richardson. Randolph was selected for his first NBA All Star Game in 2010 and helped the Grizzlies improve despite failing to make it to the 2010 playoffs.

The Grizzlies made the playoffs in 2011 as the eighth seed and eliminated the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs in the first round, just the second time the eighth seed defeated the first seed since the league expanded to a seven-game first-round series. The series marked the first four wins in franchise playoff history for the Grizzlies and the first time the franchise won a playoff series. In the decisive sixth game, Randolph scored a then playoff career-high 31 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter.

On April 18, 2011, Randolph agreed to a four-year extension with the Grizzlies worth $71 million, with $66 million guaranteed. Later, Randolph was named to the All-NBA Third Team for the first time in his career.

Randolph then led the Grizzlies to an opening game win in their second-round playoff series, posting a playoff-career-high 34 points as the Grizzlies defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 114–101; however, the Grizzlies fell in the second round after losing game 7 to the Thunder, 105–90.

In 2012, Randolph and the Grizzlies faced the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. The Grizzlies lost the series in seven games.

Randolph was named to his second All-Star game during the 2012–13 season. On May 15, 2013, Randolph helped lead the Grizzlies to victory over Oklahoma City to advance for the first time in franchise history to the Western Conference Finals. In the close out game against the Thunder, Randolph scored a team-high 28 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Grizzlies were swept in four games by the San Antonio Spurs.

In the 2013–14 season, the Grizzlies finished as the seventh seed in the West. Their first round playoff match-up was once again Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Grizzlies went on to lose the series in seven games. Randolph was suspended for Game 7 after punching Steven Adams in the jaw midway through the fourth quarter of game 6.

On June 30, 2014, Randolph exercised his player option for the 2014–15 season and signed a two-year, $20 million contract extension with the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies advanced past Portland in the first round of the playoffs, but fell to eventual NBA champions, the Golden State Warriors, in the Conference Semifinals.

On March 19, 2016, Randolph recorded his first career triple-double with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in a 113–102 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Grizzlies again qualified for the playoffs in 2016, but were swept out of the first round by the San Antonio Spurs.

On November 2, 2016, in a win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Randolph passed Pau Gasol (3,324) to become the Grizzlies' all-time leader in made field goals. On November 23, 2016, in a win over the Philadelphia 76ers, Randolph passed Vlade Divac for 46th on the NBA's all-time leading rebounding list. On December 6, 2016, he played in his 1,000th career game, becoming the 121st NBA player to reach that mark. He returned to the team to face the Philadelphia 76ers after missing seven games following the death of his mother, Mae, on November 24. On January 6, 2017, Randolph scored 27 points off the bench in a 128–119 overtime win over the Golden State Warriors. It was his highest total scored off the bench since 2006. On January 28, 2017, Randolph scored a season-high 28 points in a 102–95 win over the Utah Jazz.

Sacramento Kings (2017–2019)
On July 10, 2017, Randolph signed a two-year, $24 million contract with the Sacramento Kings. Prior to Randolph's signing with the Kings, the Grizzlies announced that #50 would never be worn again by another Grizzly, and would eventually be retired in the future. On December 8, 2017, he recorded a season-high 35 points and 13 rebounds in a 116–109 overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans. He made two of his career-high five 3-pointers to start overtime. On December 20, 2017, Randolph had 21 points and eight rebounds against the Brooklyn Nets, surpassing 10,000 career rebounds.

Randolph fell out of the rotation in 2018–19 due to the Kings' youth movement and the arrival of rookie Marvin Bagley III. He did not play for the team in his second season with the Kings and was later traded, along with Justin Jackson, to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Harrison Barnes on February 6, 2019. After acquiring Randolph, the Mavericks' president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said that there were no expectations for Randolph playing for the team, and he was waived by the Mavericks two days later.

Randolph's final NBA game was played on March 19, 2018 in a 90 - 106 loss to the Detroit Pistons where he recorded 4 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds as the Kings' starting Center.

Retirement
On December 27, 2019, Randolph announced his retirement from professional basketball. In a ceremony at FedExForum on December 11, 2021, Randolph's #50 jersey was retired by the Memphis Grizzlies, the team with which he enjoyed his greatest success. It marked the first time the franchise has retired a number.

Heard Museum

The Heard Museum is a private, not-for-profit museum in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, dedicated to the advancement of American Indian art. It presents the stories of American Indian people from a first-person perspective, as well as exhibitions of traditional and contemporary art by American Indian artists and artists influenced by American Indian art.

The main Phoenix location of the Heard Museum has been designated as a Phoenix Point of Pride.

The museum operated the Heard Museum West branch in Surprise which closed in 2009. The museum also operated the Heard Museum North Scottsdale branch in Scottsdale, Arizona, which closed in May 2014.

History
The Heard Museum was founded in 1929 by Dwight B. and Maie Bartlett Heard to house their personal collection of art. Much of the archaeological material in the Heards' collection came from La Ciudad Indian ruin, which the Heards purchased in 1926 at 19th and Polk streets in Phoenix.

Portions of the museum were designed by architect Bennie Gonzales, who also designed Scottsdale City Hall.

The current collection of the Heard Museum consists of over 40,000 items including a library and archives with over 34,000 volumes. The museum has over 130,000 square feet (12,000 m2) of gallery, classroom, and performance space. Some exhibits include: The Heard Museum now attracts about 250,000 visitors a year. The Heard is an affiliate in the Smithsonian Affiliations program. The director of the museum from January 2010 through July 2012 was Dr. Letitia Chambers, the first Heard director to be of American Indian descent. From August 5, 2013, to February 27, 2015, the museum was led by James Pepper Henry, a member of the Kaw Nation of Oklahoma and the Muscogee Creek Nation. The museum is now led by David M. Roche, who began his tenure January 2016.
 * Home: Native Peoples in the Southwest
 * The Mareen Allen Nichols Collection containing 260 pieces of contemporary jewelry
 * The Barry Goldwater Collection of 437 historic Hopi kachina dolls
 * An exhibition on the 19th century boarding school experiences of Native Americans. According to the New York Times, the exhibit "captures the little-known experience of thousands of children bused, sometimes forcibly, from their reservations to government schools in order to erase their culture and 'civilize' them. Haunting photographs, old uniforms, oral interviews and memorabilia offer a powerful look at this chapter in history."

The museum is a member of the North American Reciprocal Museums program.

Festivals
The Heard hosts the annual El Mercado de Las Artes, usually in November, with strolling mariachis and artwork by Hispanic artists from Arizona and New Mexico including santos, pottery, colcha embroidery, furniture making, painting, printmaking and silver and tinwork. The Heard also hosts the annual World Championship Hoop Dance Contest, typically held in early February. The Hoop Dance Contest is held in the outdoor Libby Amphitheater in front of the museum.

The Annual Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and Market, a juried art fair and festival, has been held yearly since 1958. The Indian Fair and Market is held annually in March draws in 15,000 visitors and features over 600 Native American artists, and includes a juried competition for the best artwork of the fair appropriately called "Best of Show." Approved artists compete in eight classifications: Jewelry and Lapidary Work; Pottery; Paintings, Drawings, Graphics, Photography; Wooden Carvings; Sculpture; Textiles/Weavings/Clothing; Diverse Art Forms; Baskets.

The judges of this competition come from a diverse range of occupations including experienced artists, museum curators, gallery directors, and art collectors. All have in-depth experience in judging artwork, and the majority of these judges come from American Indian tribes. Awards and cash prizes are given for Best of Show, Best of Division (first and second place), and an additional Conrad House award. The judges also confer a Judge's Choice ribbon and an Honorable Mention ribbon.

Orny, Switzerland

Orny is a municipality in the district of Morges of the canton of Vaud in Switzerland.

History
Orny is first mentioned in 1011 as in Orne.

Geography
Orny has an area,, of 5.56 km2. Of this area, 4.19 km2 or 75.4% is used for agricultural purposes, while 0.89 km2 or 16.0% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.38 km2 or 6.8% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.03 km2 or 0.5% is either rivers or lakes and 0.02 km2 or 0.4% is unproductive land.

Talk:Charlton Athletic F.C.

"Disappointing Players for Charlton"
I see no benefit in this little section. It is pure opinion and has no place on this page surely.

Transfers
I have removed the transfers section, as Wikipedia is not a news service. Oldelpaso 11:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Vandalized
Someone vandalized the Top paragraph

Overseas Club Links
http://www.cafc.co.uk/CharltonOverseas.ink Has details on the MyPa and NZ Knights links.

Neutrality
The paragraphs about the fan director strike me as biased in the extreme. I don't personally know enough about the gentleman in question to be able to rewrite it, though. Js farrar 11:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Dates & dashes
En dashes should be used in scorelines and only full dates and dates with a day and month should be wikilinked, including in the footnotes. See Manual of Style (dashes) and Manual of Style (dates and numbers). Epbr123 20:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

GA review comments
I've put it on hold it as WP:GA for the following reasons:
 * Poor grammar throughout, "it's" instead of "its" for example, no spaces after commas.
 * Mixture of proper citations and in-line references.
 * Failure to use en-dash for season separators.
 * Done --Mas 18 dl 16:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * "The club's first Football League match was against Exeter City in August 1921, which was won 1–0" - by whom?! Just an example, there are many more.
 * 1923/24 vs 1985-86 - consistency required, plus en-dash, as already stated.
 * Done --Mas 18 dl 16:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * History section could do with being made into four or five longer paragraphs, instead of the current thirteen.
 * Done --Mas 18 dl 16:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * "now demolished yet impressive Siemens Telegraph Works" - why impressive? This sentence doesn't seem to flow for me.
 * Removed --Mas 18 dl 16:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Citation required on the final claims in the Stadia section.
 * Done --Mas 18 dl 16:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * "Charlton are rare among football clubs..." - prove it.
 * Transfers in and out not really needed - if you really want to keep them then make them two columns and make the references into proper citations so they appear in the References section.
 * Removed --Mas 18 dl 16:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * As per most club articles, what makes this list of players notable? Highly subjective.  To cure this, normally a sub-page is created with a set of specific criteria applied (e.g. more than 100 games, 100 goals, etc etc).
 * Doing this at the moment --Mas 18 dl 16:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Other information needs to be moved into the main body, not after the Honours section - see the Manual of Style for clubs at WP:FOOTBALL.
 * Removed that section as I couldn't really see how to integrate it into the main body --Mas 18 dl 16:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

If someone wishes to attend to these and let me know so I can review the article again for GA, that'd be cool. The Rambling Man 07:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Trim external links per WP:EL.
 * I understand most of this, but could you please elaborate on your fourth point? --Mas 18 dl 14:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, in that example, there's no clear indication who won 1-0, it could have been either of the teams. It'd be better with something like "...in August 1921 with Charlton winning 1–0...".  The Rambling Man 06:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ok that makes sense --Mas 18 dl 16:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hang on it will be reviewed by Chaza  1000  shortly  Chaza  1000  19:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

 * thanks --Mas 18 dl 21:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Different numbers of capacity
I see that in the infobox, the capacity is stated as 27114, but somewhere in the article stated as 27111. What is the actual number of seats? (Addaick 10:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC))
 * I'm sure it's 27111 which is widely reported as a capacity attendence. I'll change the infobox number--Mas 18 dl 15:03, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Anybody with a complete stats record?
I'm looking for info on how many goals Hasse Jeppson also known as Hans Jeppson scored for Charlton when he was at the club. He played twelve games for them during 1951, does anybody have a book detailing CA stats? - Soprani 11:50, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * He scored 9, but the book I got it from says he only played 11 times for us. It may be that your total includes cup games, but I can't be sure.--Mas 18 dl 18:48, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for looking it up, if the book says 11 games I'll go with that. - Soprani 17:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Reserves
I have created a Charlton Athletic F.C. Reserves page, just incase you are interested in taking a look. Dirk Valentine 13:27, 18 May 2008 (GMT)

Kits
Thanks for looking at this if you were going to replace the kits. I'd just like to know why wanted to replace the kits, because they had to much detail, surely the more detail there is the better. Also the kits you chose look nothing, except colour-wise, like the new kits and i think it is nice to have our actual clubs kits on the page.

These were created in the same vein as the England national football team kits and Crystal Palace F.C. kits --Dirk Valentine (talk) 12:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Here's the rationale - from Template:Football kit/doc:
 * "To create a new pattern template follow the examples below. When you have created a new pattern please add it to the list below. Do not create patterns for minor details on a kit, the template is for showing basic team colours. It is not supposed to be an accurate drawing of the kit."
 * This is why I changed the template used. The two examples you quote look pretty bad, and need to be reworked. If this kind of minor detail was added to every club's kit it would lead to a different template for every single one, making the Football Kit template virtually pointless. Dancarney (talk) 13:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Alright, but can't you just leave it. I mean it isn't like it is hurting anyone --Dirk Valentine (talk) 13:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * The problem is, if these 3 are left then every other football club/team article will end up having these over-fussy images which are less clear and informative than the more simple versions. Dancarney (talk) 13:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree with Dancarney. The kits should not include sponsor or club logos. – PeeJay 13:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Could you possibly do something that looks relatively like the kits then, rather than just a normal generic kit for any team that plays in red, or are you to ignorant for that? --Dirk Valentine (talk) 13:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * If you're going to be rude and accuse people of ignorance, please at least try to use correct English. What you should have written was "too ignorant". You clearly are able to make football kit templates, so all that is required is for you to make a simpler version, i.e. without any club, manufacturer or sponsor logo. Good examples may be found at Middlesbrough F.C., for instance. Dancarney (talk) 14:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It should probably be pointed out that in the case of Crystal Palace, it was Dirk Valentine who made that kit so fussy in the first place. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:58, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Yet the home shirt has been kept, despite being probably the most detailed kit i made. However i will be changing the kits in the near future, and i apologise for my very poor English. --Dirk Valentine (talk) 19:28, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I left the body section of the home shirt as there wasn't a suitable template for the red & blue sash and I was anticipating that, since the issue had been raised at the Football Wikiproject talkpage, this would be quickly rectified. I felt that temporarily leaving the very fussy design was an acceptable temporary compromise. The changes that Dirk Valentine has now made to both the Charlton kits are exactly what's needed, and look very nice. Good work! Dancarney (talk) 22:18, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Thanks for understanding, Dirk. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 06:34, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Zabeel Investments
Someone needs to add something about Zabeel Investments and the attempted takeover Kennywest (talk) 08:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

The article should include ownership history.
Can the following be explained as to why points deduction didn't occur? Thanks.

"Charlton Athletic are currently owned by a company called Baton 2010 Ltd, which is controlled by club chairman Richard Murray. A life-long fan of the south-east London side, Murray was forced to restructure Charlton Athletic this summer when Charlton Athletic plc was effectively wound up with debts of more than £30m. Charlton Athletic Football Company, which owns the players, and Charlton Athletic Holdings, which owns the Addicks' stadium The Valley and the training ground, were transferred to Murray's new company in July." Imagine Reason (talk) 02:52, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If you believe the progaganda, the majority of the debt was owed to the club's ertswhile directors. In the summer, they effectively wrote off their stake in the club and the monies they were owed and handed control over to Murray, under the guise of making the club easier to sell to other investors. Mas 18 dl (talk) 10:49, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Founded 9 June 1905
Didn't that club go broke in 1984? In which case, *this* club were founded in 1984, not 1905? Heywoodg  talk  13:01, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Fan protests
As a neutral outsider, the section on "Fan protests" smacks of WP:RECENT and WP:UNDUE, and probably WP:SOAPBOX, however much sympathy I have with the fans. Dave.Dunford (talk) 10:54, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It probably could be more neutral, and should perhaps be in the Supporters section, rather than history (though some small note might need to be in there?) Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 15:38, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

UK football sexual abuse scandal
A short section was added, deleted, reinserted, and deleted again. I have re-added it. My justification is that, while over 200 clubs are affected by the scandal, Charlton is one of the few associated with a named alleged abuser. Articles about Crewe Alexandra, Peterborough United and Chelsea are other club articles mentioning their implication in the scandal due to associations with named abusers. Paul W (talk) 12:52, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Benny Fenton
Hi all, I'm doing some work on the Benny Fenton article and am having trouble finding a source for something. I had previously cited this from an obituary on the 11v11 website, but it's disappeared and I can't find a replacement reference (just the bit in bold): "In January 1977, he rejoined Charlton as secretary. He became assistant manager of the Addicks in March 1980 and progressed to the position of general manager in June 1981. He stayed in that post until June 1982." If anyone can help with this, that'd be great. Thanks, Nzd   (talk)  15:55, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Badge
I think a badge should be uploaded and the appropriate permissions made for the infobox. Seems wrong for them to be the only league club with no image. Sadly I'm not very good at the image uploading so if someone could look into it it would be appreciated. CoatbridgeChancellor (talk) 00:35, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

"Overview"
An IP editor has added an 'Overview' section (see this dif). This content should be absorbed into the lead. It is not within the recommended practice outlined in the Manual of Style for Wikipedia football club articles - WikiProject Football/Clubs - and is devoid of inline citations. Paul W (talk) 18:04, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

 * I have undone the change (reinstating the original lead section and deleting the 'Overview') - WP:BOLD. Paul W (talk) 18:26, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. If Jack Parks is so notable ("musician, programmer, professional wrestler, virtuoso extraordinaire"), then how did his last name in the title fail to be capatalized? Vanity, undistinguished. - Sango123 00:14, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
