The King Must Die

The King Must Die is a 1958 bildungsroman and historical novel by Mary Renault that traces the early life and adventures of Theseus, a hero in Greek mythology. It is set in locations throughout Ancient Greece: Troizen, Corinth, Eleusis, Athens, Knossos in Crete, and Naxos. Renault wrote a sequel, The Bull from the Sea, in 1962.

A primary theme of the book is the contrast between the advanced but enervated civilisation of Minoan Crete and the assertive developing societies of mainland Greece.

Plot
The story is told by Theseus, looking back on his life from his vantage point as an adult.

Book One: Troizen
Theseus, growing up in Troizen, is the son of a priestess and an unknown man, although it is rumored that his father is Poseidon. As a young child, Theseus is shocked when he sees the "King Horse", whom he considers a noble beast, ritually sacrificed to the gods. His grandfather King Pittheus explains that the King was traditionally killed with the Horse, and even now a true king of the Hellene people may need to make the ultimate sacrifice for his people. It is during the horse sacrifice that Theseus first hears a surging sea-sound in his ears, a sense that an earthquake will soon occur.

Over the following years, Theseus serves at Poseidon's temple. He is sent to hide in the hills when Cretan ships come to Troizen to take away young boys and girls as tribute to Minos for the bull dancing in Crete. Theseus is frustrated because he is shorter and lighter than most Hellenes his age, but becomes a skilled wrestler through strategy and agility.

When Theseus turns seventeen, his mother takes him to the sacred Grove of Zeus in the hills and explains that his father made her swear not to tell Theseus who he was until he could pry up a certain heavy stone. Theseus figures out how to move it using a lever, and finds a sword and sandals underneath. His grandfather explains that Theseus is the only son and heir of King Aigeus of Athens. Theseus decides to go to Athens via the bandit-infested land route: the Isthmus of Corinth.

Book Two: Eleusis
In Eleusis, a matriarchical and non-Hellene society focused on worship of the Earth mother goddess, it is the custom to sacrifice their king each year. Entering Eleusis, Theseus is chosen to kill Kerkyon, the year-king, and replace him. He soon learns that the Queen rules in Eleusis. As King, he has no real power and will die in one year's time. He takes his guard of Eleusinian youths on hunts to build their independence and camaraderie, killing the great sow Phaia and making war on brigands. The Queen, who correctly anticipates that Theseus is trying to overthrow the established order, tries to have him assassinated but fails. She is bitten by a venomous snake during a suicide attempt. Theseus allows her to leave Eleusis apparently to die, although he later acknowledges that he does not know her fate.

Book Three: Athens
Theseus finally goes to Athens. Aigeus, on the urging of his lover Medea, serves him poisoned wine but recognises Theseus's sword and realizes who he is just in time. When Medea's plot fails, she pronounces a curse on Theseus and vanishes from Athens. Aigeus proclaims Theseus his son and heir.

When a Cretan ship comes to collect a yearly tribute of seven boys and seven girls from Athens, Theseus, feeling led by Poseidon, offers himself in one boy's place and becomes a Cretan slave.

Book Four: Crete
In Crete, Theseus and the other tributes – under the team name of Cranes – become bull-dancers. They survive for months without a single member dying, which is unheard of. Theseus becomes the lover of Ariadne, the princess, who is treated as the Goddess on earth. They meet secretly in the tunnels beneath Knossos Palace, which is called the Labyrinth.

Theseus dreams of conquering Crete, which has become an indolent, effete civilisation; though still more sophisticated and advanced than the mainland kingdoms. The king, Minos, is wasting away from leprosy due to the machinations of his brutish heir Asterion, whose title is Minotaur. Asterion is gathering power to take the throne, which will include marrying Ariadne, his half-sister. Theseus meets the dying Minos and kills him at his request, promising to marry Ariadne.

Theseus senses a major approaching earthquake. As the quake strikes, he leads the bull-dancers and Cretan workers in a revolt against the aristocracy of the Labyrinth. Asterion is already taking part in the ritual to make himself the new Minos, wearing a bull mask. Theseus interrupts the ceremony and fatally wounds him in combat. Seeing that Asterion had already been anointed with oil, Theseus puts on the mask and sacrifices the dying Minotaur, using a sacred axe.

Book Five: Naxos
The Cranes, plus Ariadne—whom Theseus intends to marry—set sail for Greece. They land on the island of Dia, whose city is Naxos. The people welcome Ariadne as the Goddess on Earth, and she takes part in their rituals to Dionysos in which they sacrifice their year king. At the same time, Theseus ends up joining in a bacchanalian orgy. Afterwards, Theseus finds Ariadne asleep drenched in the king’s blood and clutching a body part. He realises that, born of an old and decadent line, his lover has played a brutal part in the sacrifice. Appalled, he gathers his companions and sets sail before she wakes.

As they travel home, Theseus remembers Aigeus's request that he paint his sail white. He is concerned that Aigeus will read the white sail as a sign to sacrifice himself. He asks Poseidon for a sign, and reads it to mean that he should do nothing, never anticipating that Aigeus will throw himself to his death when he sees the black sail.

Characters
Theseus: The protagonist. King of Eleusis and son of King Aigeus of Athens, he is an aggressive leader who combines touchy pride with a drive for social and cultural change. He compensates for his small, light build with agility and ingenuity. He has a strong sense of destiny, duty, and a belief that he is guided by his god Poseidon. Though only seventeen for most of the novel, he is also a skilled warrior, hunter, bull-dancer, and lover. He can instinctively sense earthquakes, a sensation which leaves him disoriented, and which he believes is a gift from Poseidon.

Ariadne: The beautiful young daughter of King Minos. High Priestess by right of birth, she is revered as a goddess incarnate by the native Cretans. Gentle and timid at first, she falls in love with Theseus and helps him escape from Crete. When Theseus sees her hidden capacity for violence as inherited from the "rotten blood" of a decadent dynasty, he is sickened and loses his love for her. Abandoned by Theseus, Ariadne remains on Dia until she dies in childbirth in the sequel "Bull From the Sea".

Asterion: The Minotauros. He is heir to King Minos of Crete, though actually the product of adultery between Minos' queen and an Assyrian bull-dancer. Crude, ruthless and clever, Asterion has succeeded in isolating his nominal father, the dying Minos, and is positioning himself to take the throne. Asterion regards Theseus as a "mainland savage" but, desiring the best of everything, purchases the Eleusian leader as a bull-dancer in the way that he might buy a horse with stamina and speed.

Minos: the title given to the rulers of Minoan Crete during the thousand-year history of an advanced and sophisticated civilisation centred on the vast palace (Labyrinth) of Knossos. On the eve of the great earthquake that destroys the Labyrinth, the last Minos is a sick man who is losing power to his hated heir Asterion. Using Ariadne as an intermediary, Minos enters into an alliance with Theseus.

Aigeus: The King of Athens and Theseus's father. A valiant and virile man in his younger days, he is in his fifties, tired and cynical by the time Theseus meets him. His people are troublesome, his nobles powerful, and he is worn out from decades of endeavouring to keep the peace and retain his authority. Theseus respects Aigeus but cannot admire him, for he is over-cautious.

Aithra: The 33-year-old high priestess of Troizen, Theseus's mother, and Pittheus's daughter. There is tension between her natural affection for Theseus and her role as a servant of the Earth Goddess.

Medea: King Aigeus's lover, she wants the Athenian throne for her two sons. Acting in collaboration with Persephone she persuades Aigeus to attempt to poison Theseus in return for the lifting of a curse. Aigeus is not at this stage aware that Theseus is his son.

Phaedra: younger sister of Ariadne and Theseus' later wife; now a child, she idolises him as a handsome bull dancer.

Persephone: The 27-year-old queen of Eleusis, whom no one is permitted to name. Beautiful, sexually skilled, and devoted to the earth goddess, she follows the custom of making Theseus kill her current husband and King so that he can become the next one-year king and marry her. But he turns out to be more than she bargained for, empowering himself and the downtrodden men of Eleusis, finally using his personal and political skills to persuade the men to impose their rule on the women instead. Four times she attempts to kill him or have him killed, and attempts suicide when she fails. Her ultimate fate is not known.

Amyntor: An Eleusinian bull-dancer, Theseus's right-hand among the Cranes in Crete. A big, black-haired, hawk-nosed teenager, he is too heavy for bull-leaping, so he serves to catch the leaper as he or she descends. Theseus trusts Amyntor and appoints him as captain of his guard in the sequel "Bull From the Sea"

Pittheus: The King of Troizen and Theseus's grandfather. Theseus looks up to him.

Xanthos: The cold-hearted, red-haired, pale-faced brother of Queen Persephone of Eleusis, and the chief general of the Eleusinians. On his sister's orders, he tries to have Theseus assassinated. Theseus then kills him in single combat.

Pylas: The prince of Megara. Theseus meets him on the boar hunt in the hills between Eleusis and Megara. Only a few years older than Theseus, he nevertheless respects the other's prowess and intelligence, and joins him to assault the bandit strongholds in the Isthmus. He dies of a wound received in battle.

The Corinthian: The best bull-dancer in Crete—until he lays down his life in the ring for a comrade soon after the Cranes arrive. Theseus idolises him because he is such a consummate bull-dancer.

Chryse, Helike, Melantho, Thebe, Nephele, Rhene, Pylia: The seven female Cranes. Like their male counterparts they are varied in personality and background but all are brought together by loyalty to Theseus and the interdependence required by the bull dance.

Iros, Hippon, Menesthes, Telamon, Phormion: The five male Cranes (apart from Theseus and Amyntor).

Aktor: veteran trainer of the bull-dancers in the Bull Court of Knossos Palace.

Lukos: a Cretan officer who commands a detachment of African warriors in the service of King Minos. Sent to collect the tribute of fourteen youths and maidens from Athens, Lukos serves as an example of the polished and sophisticated courtiers of the Labyrinth in contrast to the crude but energetic values of mainland Greece.

Alektryon: a lieutenant of the royal household who acts as an intermediary between the bull-dancers and those palace officials and guards still loyal to Minos. He dies in the great earthquake.

Kerkyon: The 20-year-old, strongly built year-king of Eleusis. The name 'Kerkyon' is given to all year-kings: his real name is not given. Theseus kills him in a wrestling match.

Thalestris: A skilled Amazonian bull-dancer and valiant warrior. She is killed in the fighting with Asterion's guards but knowing her gives Theseus a premonition of his doomed future marriage with another Amazon.

Simo: A small boy who mocks Theseus's fatherlessness in Troizen.

Analysis
The book was lauded by critics, with Renault's believable historical setting being particularly well-received. Removing the fantastical elements of monsters and the appearances of gods, Renault constructed an archaeologically and anthropologically plausible story that might have developed into the myth. However, other critics have viewed Renault's depiction of ancient Crete as based on flawed theories and taking significant imaginative liberties.

Adaptations and references
The King Must Die and The Bull from the Sea were adapted into an 11-part BBC Radio 4 serial, entitled The King Must Die, broadcast from June through August 1983.

Poul Anderson's novel The Dancer from Atlantis covers the same period, but from a pro-Cretan point of view - Theseus being the book's villain, a barbarian pirate and cruel destroyer of Cretan civilisation. In one passage the protagonist - a time traveller from the 20th Century who had read and liked Renault's book - reflects on how different the actual Theseus is from the way she depicted him.

In Richard Adams's book Watership Down, the 25th chapter (entitled "The Raid") begins with this epigraph quoted from Renault's book: "He went consenting, or else he was no king... It was no man's place to say to him, 'It is time to make the offering.'"

Suzanne Collins credited The King Must Die as one inspiration for The Hunger Games, with the concept of boys and girls taken by lottery to perform in a deadly competition for the elites' entertainment.

I tried to finish the thought as follows:

 * In response to these attacks, The Crusader advocated armed self-defense. Politically, Briggs drew comparisons between government attacks on white and black radicals. He identified captalism as the underlying cause of oppression of poor people of all races. While endorsing a Marxist analysis, "The Crusader" advocated a separate organization of African-Americans to defend against racist attacks in the United States, much as Africans were combating colonialism abroad.

If I guessed wrong, please correct it. Great article—encyclopedic, stitching together separate strands (and articles), and telling us something not available in this form elsewhere. Italo Svevo 02:56, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Spitting

Spitting is the act of forcibly ejecting saliva or other substances from the mouth. The act is often done to get rid of unwanted or foul-tasting substances in the mouth, or to get rid of a large buildup of mucus. Spitting of small saliva droplets can also happen unintentionally during talking, especially when articulating ejective and implosive consonants.

Spitting in public is considered rude and a social taboo in many parts of the world including the West, while in some other parts of the world it is considered more socially acceptable.

Spitting upon another person, especially onto the face, is a global sign of anger, hatred, disrespect or contempt. It can represent a "symbolical regurgitation" or an act of intentional contamination.

Europe and North America
Social attitudes towards spitting have changed greatly in Western Europe since the Middle Ages. Then, frequent spitting was part of everyday life, and at all levels of society, it was thought ill-mannered to suck back saliva to avoid spitting. By the early 1700s, spitting had become seen as something which should be concealed, and by 1859 it had progressed to being described by at least one etiquette guide as "at all times a disgusting habit." Sentiments against spitting gradually transitioned from being included in adult conduct books to so obvious as to only appear in guides for children to not be included in conduct literature even for children "because most [Western] children have the spitting ban internalized well before learning how to read."

Spittoons (also known as cuspidors) were used openly during the 19th century to provide an acceptable outlet for spitters. Spittoons became far less common after the influenza epidemic of 1918, and their use has since virtually disappeared, though each justice of the Supreme Court of the United States continues to be provided with a personal one.

In the first half of the 20th century the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the precursor to the American Lung Association, and state affiliates had educational campaigns against spitting to reduce the chance of spreading tuberculosis. According to the World Health Organization coughing, sneezing, or spitting, can spread tuberculosis. The chance of catching a contagious disease by being spit on is low.

After coffee cupping, tea tasting, and wine tasting, the sample is spit into a 'spit bucket' or spittoon.

There have been instances of spitting reported in the US, particularly from American men. In Minnesota, instances have been reported from some young people. In Canada, spitting has been reported for cities such as Ottawa and Winnipeg.

Other regions
In certain nations, spitting is an accepted part of one's lifestyle.

Spitting has been attributed to some people from Asia-Pacific countries such as Bangladesh, China,  India,  Indonesia, Myanmar,   Papua New Guinea, Philippines,   South Korea,  United Arab Emirates,  and Vietnam. The practice is often linked to betel chewing in many of those regions. Spitting has also been reported in some parts of Africa, such as Ghana.

In India and Indonesia, spitting is often associated with various forms of chewing juices.

According to Ross Coomber, a professor of sociology at Plymouth University, spitting is perceived as a cleansing practice for the body by many individuals in China.

Competitions
There are some places where spitting is a competitive sport, with or without a projectile in the mouth. For example, there is a Guinness World Record for cherry pit spitting and cricket spitting, and there are world championships in Kudu dung spitting.

Spitting as a protection against evil
In rural parts of North India, it was customary in olden days for mothers to lightly spit at their children (usually to the side of the children rather than directly at them) to imply a sense of disparagement and imperfection that protects them from evil eye (or nazar). Excessive admiration, even from well-meaning people, is believed to attract the evil eye, so this is believed to protect children from nazar that could be caused by their own mothers' "excessive" love of them. However, because of hygiene, transmission of disease and social taboos, this practice has waned and instead a black mark of kohl or kajal is put on the forehead or cheek of the child to ward off the evil eye. Adults use an amulet containing alum or chillies and worn on the body for this purpose. Sometimes, this is also done with brides and others by their loved ones to protect them from nazar.

Shopkeepers in the region used to sometimes make a spitting gesture on the cash proceeds from the first sale of the day (called bohni), which is a custom believed to ward-off nazar from the business.

Such a habit also existed in some Eastern European countries like Romania, and Moldova, although it is no longer widely practiced. People would gently spit in the face of younger people (often younger relatives such as grandchildren or nephews) they admire in order to avoid deochi, an involuntary curse on the individual being admired or "strangely looked upon", which is claimed to be the cause of bad fortune and sometimes malaise or various illnesses. In Greece, it is customary to "spit" three times after making a compliment to someone, the spitting is done to protect from the evil eye. This applies to all people, not just between mothers and children.

A similar-sounding expression for verbal spitting occurs in modern Hebrew as "Tfu, tfu" (here, only twice), which some say that Hebrew-speakers borrowed from Russian.

Anti-spitting hoods
When a suspect in a criminal case is arrested, they will sometimes try to spit at their captors, which often causes a fear of infection by Hepatitis C and other diseases. Spit hoods are meant to prevent this.

Gleeking
Gleeking is the projection of saliva from the submandibular gland. It may happen deliberately or accidentally, particularly when yawning, or after eating something sweet, sour or spicy. If done deliberately, it can be regarded as a form of spitting.

In other animals

 * Camel
 * Llama
 * Spitting cobra

Huron Mountain Club

The Huron Mountain Club is a private club whose land holdings in Marquette County, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, constitutes one of the largest tracts of primeval forest in the Great Lakes region. Formed circa 1890, the club comprises 50 dwellings clustered inside nearly 26,000 acres of private land, including area in and around the Huron Mountains. The club began as a remote hunting and fishing club for outdoor enthusiasts. The original charter limited membership to 50 partners. The property comprises 13 inland lakes and approximately 40,000 acres of old-growth forest.

Through its long association with the non-profit Huron Mountain Wildlife Foundation, the Huron Mountain Club has been the site of a wide range of research in field biology and geology. Naturalist Aldo Leopold produced a plan for preserving the tract in 1938. The ensuing research facility at Ives Lake was started in the 1960s, after it passed from a member family's hands into Club ownership.

Internet Party Line

Internet Party Line (or simply iParty) was one of the first Internet telephony and conference software for Microsoft Windows. It was made by Intel and released as an experimental prototype in 1995. It featured a push-to-talk method of sending audio, in which each received audio clip was played in order without mixing, regardless of multiple people talking simultaneously. In this way, it addressed the problem of how to have an understandable group conversation in the face of large Internet latencies or low bandwidth.

Similar applications like iParty include Microsoft NetMeeting and VocalTec Internet Phone. Today, most of these older conference applications have been replaced by VoIP applications such as Skype.

The Dillards

The Dillards are an American bluegrass and country rock band from Salem, Missouri. The band is best known for introducing bluegrass music into the popular mainstream with their appearance as "The Darlings" on The Andy Griffith Show.

Band members
The Dillards originally consisted of:

 * Douglas Dillard (born March 6, 1937, Salem, Missouri – May 16, 2012) – banjo
 * Rodney Dillard (born May 18, 1942, Salem, Missouri) – guitar, dobro

The Andy Griffith Show
Though The Dillards were already an established bluegrass band, their biggest claim to fame is performing musically as members of the fictional Darling family on The Andy Griffith Show, introducing bluegrass to many Americans who had never heard it. This was a recurring role and the Dillards were led by veteran character actor Denver Pyle as their father and jug player, Briscoe Darling. Maggie Peterson played Charlene Darling, their sister and the focus for the attentions of character Ernest T. Bass, played by Howard Morris. As the Darling brothers, the band members spoke no dialogue and presented themselves as unemotional and disengaged unless they were performing a song. The appearances of the Dillards as the Darlings ran between 1963 and 1966. In 1986, the Dillards reprised the role in the reunion show Return to Mayberry. As part of their 2012 tour, Rodney Dillard answered questions about the TV series. He said the songs such as "Dooley" are about people the family knew.

On the October 1963 episode "Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee", the Dillards performed the first wide scale airing of the 1955 Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith composition Feudin' Banjos (Dueling Banjos).

According to Jim Clark of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club, three albums have been produced with songs performed on the show. Clark says "Songs That Make Me Cry" is the only one currently available with real performances and has the three songs which included Maggie Peterson as Charlene. "Back Porch Bluegrass" and "Live Almost" include five songs that were sung on the show, and Rodney Dillard released another album with the real performances of other songs.

Pioneering influences
The Dillards are notable for being among the first bluegrass groups to have electrified their instruments in the mid-1960s. They are considered to be pioneers of country rock and progressive bluegrass. They are known to have directly or indirectly influenced artists such as the Eagles, the Byrds, and Elton John. In 1972, The Dillards joined Elton John on his first American tour. John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin has also acknowledged their influence, particularly in his decision to play the mandolin.

Current members
Rodney Dillard is a founding member of The Dillards – the group he formed with his brother, Douglas Dillard in the late 1950s. Credited throughout the years as the driving force behind the group's musical direction, success, and phenomenal longevity as a working act. Today, Dillard's musical duties include lead and harmony vocals, guitar, and dobro.

Beverly Cotten-Dillard is a native of Morrisville, North Carolina who performed with Janette Carter, Ola Belle Reed, Tommy Jarrell, and Doc and Merle Watson. She has appeared on Hee Haw and the Disney Channel and at Carnegie Hall. Cotten-Dillard is recognized as an authority on the traditional "clawhammer" banjo technique and is a featured member of The Dillards live shows.

Film gate

The film gate is the rectangular opening in the front of a motion picture camera where the film is exposed to light (or an opening for showing the film with a projector). The film gate can be seen by removing the lens and rotating the shutter out of the way. The film is held on a uniform plane at a calibrated distance in the gate by a pressure plate behind the film.

Occasionally, as the film passes through the gate, friction can cause small slivers of celluloid to break off and stick in the side of the opening, or a speck of dust can lodge there. These pieces of debris are called hairs. A "hair in the gate" will remain in front of the film and create a dark line that sticks into the edge of the film frame as the camera is filming a shot. A hair can ruin the shot and is almost impossible to fix in post production without using modern digital removal techniques.

Because of the intractability of this problem the focus puller (or 1st Assistant Camera) will open the camera and examine the gate for hairs at the end of each shot. Normally the assistant director will call out "check the gate" when the director is ready to move on to the next shot. The crew will wait until the focus puller calls out "gate is clean." If the gate is not clean, it will be cleaned with orangewood sticks and canned air and the crew will take the shot again. A good camera crew usually checks all cameras and magazines during equipment checkout with "scratch tests" using fogged film rolls — this will catch out any possible scratch or hair problems caused by faulty equipment. However, a variety of other factors including environment, humidity, type of film stock, camera position, film ridging, and lacing can each be responsible for a "hair in the gate". Generally, skilled crew and regularly inspected tested equipment make this a rare occurrence, and it is not unheard of for assistants to go for months without seeing one, even on large-scale shoots. The cinematographer Oliver Stapleton praised his assisting team on Casanova for not having a single hair or scratch for the whole shoot, even though large portions were shot on dusty exteriors.

Video cameras do not have this problem, as any malfunction to the sensor will render the entire system useless. The Arri D-20 and D-21 system, however, does have removable lenses and a rotating optical shutter, which means that the CMOS sensor can be exposed in much the same way as a film gate and thus needs to be kept assiduously clean.

Methods of checking the gate
There are three different commonly accepted ways to check a film gate for hairs.

Pulling the lens
In this method, the lens is taken off of the camera and the shutter is moved either with an automatic button (usually labeled "phase" or "dust check") or by manually inching it to an exposed position. The focus puller examines the gate with a flashlight, sometimes attached to a magnifying glass.

Through the lens
This method tends to be most useful on long lenses and zoom lenses, especially when larger lenses may be difficult to take on and off again quickly. The aperture is fully opened, with the shutter opened, focus set to infinity, and if a zoom, zoomed in as tight as possible. The lens itself acts as a large magnifying glass for the focus puller, who only needs to position the flashlight and their line of sight properly to scan the gate.

Pulling the gate
Many cameras, though not all, allow for the gate itself to be removed from the camera and examined under a light by the focus puller.

In its current state, the article has three paragraphs devoted to conveying the idea that corroborree is not "ceremony." That seems to refer to some specialized technical meaning of the word "ceremony" that needs to be defined or linked; it is obviously false for the ordinary English meaning of "ceremony." Even to the extent this point needs to be made, it doesn't need three paragraphs of reiteration, and it's a shame the article contains very little else. 2607:FEA8:12A0:44D:0:0:0:E11E (talk) 15:41, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Akitsiraq Law School

Akitsiraq Law School is a legal education program designed to increase the number of lawyers in Nunavut and the Canadian Arctic, including a program leading to a Bachelor of Laws Degree (LL.B.) in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

The Law School has no permanent classrooms, employees or assets, and the admissions process has no formal education requirements. The Akitsiraq Law School focuses on the practical abilities of potential students based on life experience and work history. The program is strongly supported by legal professionals and by members of the Nunavut Judiciary through in-kind and volunteer services, developing effective programs and bringing legal resources from across Canada to teach each Akitsiraq cohort.

Akitsiraq programs have provided legal training to residents of Nunavut and the surrounding Arctic region, leading to professional and para-professional legal qualifications. The Akitsiraq Law School Society is a not-for-profit organization incorporated in Nunavut. Its board of directors and membership are drawn from the Nunavut judiciary, legal profession and supporting members of the public, along with nominees of supporting agencies.

The cohort-based, culture-enhancing, learning-in-Nunavut format of the Akitsiraq Law Program has frequently been promoted as a prototype for training in other professions including accounting and education administration.

History
Despite the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement specifying that employment in the newly created Nunavut should be representative of the territory's demographics, people of Inuit descent were absent from the legal field. In the mid-1990s, six Inuit law students who had gone to the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law had all dropped out, isolated and short of money so far south.

A program to train law students in the north gained support. A University of Victoria student working in Iqaluit on a co-op program, persuaded her school join Akitsiraq as its law school partner. Critics opposed spending a million dollars per year on eleven law students when the territory was also short on other professionals such as doctors and teachers. Critics also questioned if southern legal culture would disrupt cultural harmony in the north and if the graduates would even stay in the north.

Recruitment was done via newspaper and radio ads, drawing 108 applications. Applicants did not have to write the Law School Admission Test, deemed unsuitable for screening this pool of applicants. Instead the admissions committee tested each candidate to assess their competence and work history. Each successful applicant was given an allowance of $50,000 from sponsors; in return the students would have to either spend two years working with that sponsor or four years with another Nunavut-based employer.

The original program offering was the Akitsiraq Jump-Start Program which partnered with Nunavut Arctic College to provide 16 students with an enhanced background in law. Through this work the Akitsiraq Society was able to develop the Law School model eventually implemented as Akitsiraq I (2001) and II (2011). These four-year programs deliver the equivalent of a Canadian three-year law degree for students in this isolated region and in a strongly Inuit cultural context.

The Akitsiraq I program was a partnership between the Faculty of Law at the University of Victoria, Nunavut Arctic College and the Akitsiraq Law School Society. It offered a Bachelor of Laws Degree (LL.B) in Iqaluit, Nunavut. to residents of Nunavut and the surrounding Arctic region. This program accepted one intake of students in 2001-02 who graduated in 2004-05. The Akitsiraq I final report Lawyer Making in the Arctic ( [July 2007] Browne, Crawford and Tulloch), is an extensive record of this program, and includes seven appendices incorporating contracts, course selections, timetables, budgets and program evaluation by graduates.

A planned Akitsiraq II program was announced by the parent society in conjunction with the University of Ottawa Law Faculty, using infrastructure and support from Nunavut Arctic College. The announced intention is to proceed with a second cohort of students in 2011. The recruiting and admission process for the 2011 cohort have been funded by Justice Canada, including Akitsiraq Law Days in Cambridge Bay, Rankin Inlet, Iqaluit and Ottawa in the spring of 2010, but the program launch has been on hold since November 2009 awaiting a decision by the Government of Nunavut to provide core support. It did not go through after the Nunavut government declined to provide the funding.

In June 2015, Nellie Kusugak, the Commissioner of Nunavut, promised a return of the Akitsiraq program in her commissioner's address. In September 2017, the new program launched in cooperation with the University of Saskatchewan College of Law.

Curriculum
Akitsiraq operates on a cohort model. Students are admitted in distinct cohorts, forming strong supportive units which learn and live together over the four years of the program. Only one cohort is in process at any time, with students moving together through the initial years and into the more advanced studies, relying on teaching from temporarily assigned professors from the judiciary, southern Canadian Universities, and the legal profession at large. In this way resources can be secured and opportunities developed appropriate to the cohort at each point in their learning and consistent with the small population based from which they are drawn.

The program for Akitsiraq I was taught as a modified law curriculum. The focus in the first year was to ensure academic success for the students. The University of Victoria Faculty of Law developed a Legal Research and Writing Course, which included an enhanced study skills component. The first year also exposed students to contract, criminal law and Legal Processes courses.

In the remaining three years, Akitsiraq I students were required to complete all the standard law courses. The Faculty of Law developed specialized elective courses for this program tailored to legal issues in the Canadian Arctic and the Inuit, including Inuit law, environmental law, northern resource land and management, the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. The expertise of local elders and educators incorporated Inuit Traditional Law and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit throughout the four-year program. Students were encouraged to participate during their final year in courses at the University of Victoria or other major Canadian University.

The Akitsiraq II program has continued to develop this approach, planning for two academic and one work term each year. In addition, Akitsiraq II students will have the opportunity to participate with their contemporaries at the University of Ottawa Common Law Faculty each year in the intensive three week January intersession. The introductory program anticipated for June–July 2011, is designed to orient students to the study of law, identify skill areas where additional support will be focused in the early program years, and provide a broad introduction to the classic first year study areas, as well as an initial exposure to the interface between Inuit Law and the Canadian legal tradition.

In order to practise as a lawyer, graduates of the program are required to article to a practising lawyer and pass a Bar Admission Test administered by a Canadian law society.

Funding
Akitsiraq I program was largely funded by the Government of Nunavut through the Departments of Education, Human Resources and Justice. Student financial support was based on salaried sponsorships through various agencies including the Government of Nunavut, the Department of Justice, and several not for profit Inuit organizations. Student funding incorporated a requirements for attendance and post-graduation commitments to remain in their territory or province of origin (most were from Nunavut) and work for a minimum of two or four years following graduation. As of 2010 all Akitsiraq I graduates are working or studying for graduate degrees in Nunavut (9), or in positions related to Nunavut (2).

The Akitsiraq II process has been funded to date by the Department of Justice Canada, in-kind supports from Justice Nunavut, Nunavut Arctic College and the resources of the University of Ottawa. The Society has contributed many hundreds of hours of volunteer support. The student funding model for Akitsiraq II has been designed to be individually based, with paid work-terms and diverse student financial supports, as well as the potential of incorporating specific program supports.

The Society is the guardian of significant unpublished materials on Inuit Law and continues to seek resources to develop these materials for broader access.

Outcome
Participants in the Akitsiraq Jump-Start Program have continued to participate in legal fields.

Eleven people graduated from the Akitsiraq I program, receiving an LLB degree from the University of Victoria. As of June 2009 nine of eleven graduates have been called to practise. This is consistent with or exceeds success rates in southern Canadian university law programs.

Madeleine Redfern, one of the graduates became the first Inuk selected to article as a clerk at the Supreme Court of Canada, under Mme Justice Louise Charron. Others are engaged in Masters of Law programs, practising family and civil law, prosecuting, acting as counsel to aboriginal organizations, and government agencies, working in the RCMP and with Inuktitut language initiatives.

Student admissions initiatives are still underway for Akitsiraq II. Forty-five students have attended the introductory Law Day information sessions across Nunavut and the Society reports over eighty potential students on its waiting lists. There is the potential for student admissions from Nunatsiavik and Nunavik.

Accuracy problem
This stub is obviously something whipped up by someone eager to get an article of that name in but who knew nothing of the topic. What little there is, is geologically and geographically inaccurate. So, that is the type of information I suggest it should have. I see it was transwikied. That was not a waste of time, as the inaccuracies were transwikied also, because now there is something to correct in Wiktionary. I suggest also a link to commons, where there are a lot of good pictures, a box, and a change of the lead picture. I hope that when I get back to this article I will not be having to talk to myself.

Ourcolony.net

 * Dave, I am asking that you reconsider your vote to delete OurColony.net -Jonamerica 07:12 (UTC) on Monday, April 11 2005

The reason I have voted to delete is that ourcolony.net seems to lack notability, especially as compared to the hundreds of thousands of other websites out there. It only has an alexa rank of 178,074. If you can somehow show that the site is otherwise notable, I will gladly change my vote. Dave the Red (talk) 09:00, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * ''If ourcolony.net was just another website, I'd agree with you that the low Alexa rating would indicate that it isn't notable. For example my personal website would be a bad entry for wikipedia, as nobody ever visits or would even care to read about it.

 * ''However ourcolony.net is both a website and an ARG. In terms of games, the ARG is a realatively new genre, which currently has a small following and a small number of similar games. For this reason I feel it is more important to judge the ourcolony article as reporting on a game, or other forms of entertainment, rather than a website.

 * ''If you take some time to browse through the board game category you'll see that there are over two hundred games listed, and I would venture to say that more than a few of these games are not only obscure, but fairly unpopular and unnoted by the mainstream.

 * ''We could also touch on the subject of books, art, independent movies and music, documentaries, etc. If the number of "hits" were an important measure for these subjects I'm sure we'd find out some staggering results based on library checkouts and bookstore sales. But popularity is a poor judgement of a book or movie's notability.

 * ''If ourcolony.net were just another site, another search engine or another blog, I'd say the Alexa rating is of utmost importance to the site, especially if the same information can be found on other, more popular sites. But ourcolony.net is more than just a site and its notability must be judged in a way more befitting its nature.

 * ''I feel it is important to document ourcolony.net as an ARG and an example of viral marketing, both very new mediums, so that as these mediums grow people can reseach this and other early examples and judge their success or failure.

 * -Jonamerica 20:28, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)''

You seem to be arguing that we should keep ourcolony because it helps cover the subject of ARGs. This seems to me like a reason to have an article on Alternate Reality Games, which we do. In this case, it would seem that ARG's are notable, but OurColony.net itself is not. If you believe that ourcolony is essential to the coverage of ARGs, what I would suggest you do is go to the Alternate Reality Game article and insert a mention of it there. As for your point about board games, I admit we do have different stantards of notability for different things. Using the same standard of notability for all things would not be practical. Hope this helps. Dave the Red (talk) 21:40, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * ''I can see how you may have gotten that impression from my last paragraph. I'm not arguing that ourcolony should be kept to explain what an ARG is, but to record the history of this specific game. It is impossible to tell at this early stage what effect ARGs will have on future gaming, and it would be a shame to lose information because something is simply not popular. We're lucky that so much is remembered about the game pong, but there are possibly several early and highly influential computer games that have been entirely forgoten.

 * ''I guess what I'm asking is that a new, more lenient standard be adopted for this still young genre, and not to simply apply a standard for other catagories that don't take into consideration all them elements of these games.

 * -Jonamerica 22:39, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but your asking me to change the rules in this one case, something I cannot and will not do. If we start making exceptions to the rule, the rule will become meaningless. OurColony.net must hold up to the same standards as every other website. Maybe in the future, if it gets more popular we can have an article, but not until then. Dave the Red (talk) 17:57, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * ''Hey Dave, I wanted to give you an update on the notability of OurColony.net in hopes that you would reconsider your vote. Recently Haunted_Apiary was nominated for a Webby award. This is an award for websites that show excellence in web design, creativity, usability and functionality, and are presented by the International_Academy_of_Digital_Arts_and_Sciences.

 * ''In its heyday ilovebees.com had a peak of about 130 people per million (daily reach) and a max rank of about 11,000. So far, and the game will continue to be played till May 12th, OurColony.net has a daily reach of about 220 and a 1 wk rank average of 4,868. If at its peak Haunted_Apiary was notable enough to gain the attention of the IADAS, let alone be nominated for an award, than I'd submit that OurColony.net, with its higher daily reach and rank, is notable.

 * -Jonamerica 00:10, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Firstly, I'd like to point out that receiving a Webby award does not make a site inherrently notable. However, as Ourcolony.net does seem to be a pioneer in the ARG realm, I'm willing to change my vote from delete to abstain. Not a ringing endorsement, but not a negative vote either.

Wikiethics
Hi,

We started a proposal Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 01:03, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't thank me before you know my stance. I've read through your proposal and take some serious issues with what you're suggesting. It seems to me that you feel wikipedia needs to be "cleaned up" and protected from the "pro-porn and pro-offense" lobby. Frankly I have yet to read an article that was pro-porn or pro-offense, but I'm sure there out there. Maybe I just don't go looking for them. I really don't need to read an article on pornography.

 * The question of your proposal comes down to this: by what do we measure "visual or verbal descriptions or expressions that are intended to cause sexual excitement?" My sexual excitement is aroused by different things than yours or anyone else's. Are we to create a "standard sexual excitement" test? How would someone determine when "manipulation of information to influence public opinion" is occurring?

 * This is a very slippery slope indeed, and in my mind it breathes an air of fascism.

 * I have always been against censorship of almost any sort. Once you allow censorship you allow manipulation.

Talk:Road case

Proposed merge
Flightcase reads in part: The term flightcase is synonymous with road case and ATA case, but while road case is the more commonly used term in the United States, flightcase is the industry accepted word in Europe so there seems no reason for separate articles. Andrewa (talk) 00:39, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Agree. I'd support the merge.Tubefurnace (talk) 22:20, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Agreed. I think that someone looking for encyclopaedic information on this topic would not differentiate between a flight or road case and would want all the information available in one article. Indeed, it would make Wikipedia more concise to merge. A visitor may not know there's any difference anyway, and not look for the other article at all. Black Stripe (talk) 14 July 2013

OK, I'll do it over the next few days unless someone beats me to it. What I'm intending is that we have one article here at road case (and this its talk page), with a section on flight cases, and redirects here from flight case, flightcase, ATA case and roadcase (and to the talk page). There will also be redirects from ATA 300 and ATA Spec 300 but they may be better pointed to Airlines for America as one already does, but if so that section will link to this article anyway.

User talk:Luxdormiens

Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Chemical diagrams
I can't believe that nobody's welcomed you yet! SOmetimes I think that I'm the only person working here. ;)

As for the chemical diagrams, I use a simple program that I got on a CD back when I took organic chemistry. You should be able to find some kind of shareware that will do that for you. If not, you could probably request what you need on the village pump, and somebody will make it for you.

If you have any other questions, or need any other kind of help at all, feel free to ask! – ClockworkSoul 03:30, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sign Language user info boxes
Hello Luxdormiens. Please don't change the infoboxes without discussing it first, and please don't make widespread changes to a set of related articles without investigating the implications — especially when dealing with templates, as they are used on multiple pages and an error can have far-reaching consequences.

I did hope that the instructions on the Babel page, as well as the instructions on the Category:User sgn page should make it clear how to use these infoboxes. I know you read these instructions, because you edited one of the instructions for the correct template syntax. Unfortunately, your changed text now points users to a non-existent template —  — and against the standard format for native user language templates, which is user xx (without the -N, see for example user en for native English speakers). If the instructions are not clear, please suggest a way to improve it on the relevant discussion page.

You have also broken the parameter feature of these boxes that allowed people to specify the particular sign language they use, thus changing over 30 user pages from how the user intended their language box to look. I would appreciate it if you would revert your recent changes, and discuss future proposed changes on Category talk:User sgn.

Cheers. ntennis 08:01, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Deaf WikiProject
Hello :)

There are now eight names on the project. What are your thoughts on if (and when) we should make it official, and move it from my namespace? Please respond to the open forum at User talk:Ntennis/Deaf WikiProject proposal. Thanks! ntennis 02:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Child of Deaf Adult
I have noticed that you are affiliated with sign language in one way or another. The article on CODAs needs quite a bit of work, and I think is an important article to have as a part of Wikipedia. I would like to invite you to participate in making it a better article. — Esprit15d 20:00, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Chinese mythology
Yes, if enough people vote on it it will become the official article improvement drive. However in my experience just being nominated on the list and staying there a long time usually helps articles improve significantly. Cheers,  jaco plane  13:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 44% for major edits and 83% for minor edits. (Based on the last 144 major and 41 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 06:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Deaf-mute
Hi Luxdormiens. I'm seeking opinions and possible support for an issue in which I'm in a debate with other Wikipedians. I'm trying to change indiscrimant use of the term "deaf-mute" in describing deaf people in general. To see some comments related to the issue, see Talk:The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, as well as my own Talk page, User talk:Ward3001. You can also follow the links to other discussions. Right now I'm about the only person addressing the issue because deaf people are such a small minority. Other Wikipedians, with apparently no prior knowledge of the issue, are reverting my edits. If you're interesting in expressing your opinion, feel free to do so. If you wish to discuss further please leave me a message on my Talk page. Thanks. Ward3001 17:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Deaf
I notice you are a member of WikiProject Deaf. You may also add User WikiProject Deaf, which also adds a userbox to your page, or [[:Category:WikiProject Deaf participants]] to your userpage. If you do, it will list you in Category:WikiProject Deaf participants. Taric25 19:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Wish bracelet
A tag has been placed on Wish bracelet, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. — G716  <T·C> 17:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge discussion
A hard landing can result during normal or deadstick landing operations, so this should remain a separate article unless it becomes part of a larger article on landing aircraft.Stepp-Wulf 02:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC).

Talk:Royal Brunei Airlines

Improvement drive
Brunei is currently nominated on This week's improvement drive. Come and support it with your vote! --Fenice 18:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Profit figures
I moved this here from the main article. Royal Brunei is a private limited firm so I don't see how anyone can back up statements of "gross profit of $70million".

'''After the fourth quarter of 2005, Royal Brunei made their first profit after operating in debt for five years. This marked the success of their re-structuring exercise. By the late quarter of 2006, Royal Brunei made a gross profit of $70 million dollars. '''

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the . Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

I propose that Royal Brunei be renamed to Royal Brunei Airlines. Not only does this sound unprofessional and 'slang-like', but the Airlines is part of their name, as stated in the first three words of the article introduction. I have some references and reasons:

 * 1) A Google Search on Royal Brunei Airlines. Please note the first non-sponsored listing: the official site, 'Welcome to Royal Brunei Airlines' and

 * 1) Royal Brunei Airlines - 4 Star Airlines rating by Skytrax.
 * 2) The Royal Brunei Airlines official site. See the Boarding Pass promotional advertisement -
 * 1) The Royal Brunei Airlines official site. See the Boarding Pass promotional advertisement -
 * 1) The Royal Brunei Airlines official site. See the Boarding Pass promotional advertisement -

 * 1) Boarding Pass Promotion With Royal Brunei Airlines
 * 2) You can always type in Royal Brunei and be redirected to Royal Brunei Airlines.
 * 3) Skytrax Rating - 4 stars. Heading is 'Royal Brunei Airlines'.
 * 4) Royal Brunei is used as slang just as China Eastern is used as slang for China Eastern Airways/Airlines.
 * 5) Skyscanner lists them as Royal Brunei Airlines.
 * 1) Royal Brunei is used as slang just as China Eastern is used as slang for China Eastern Airways/Airlines.
 * 2) Skyscanner lists them as Royal Brunei Airlines.

I hope this is enough. Sorry to all those edit conflicts, I was first to suggest (see User talk:Gnangarra).

Move Survey
Add "# Support" or "# Oppose" on a new line in the appropriate section followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion using ~. Please remember that this survey is not a vote, and please provide an explanation for your recommendation. You can voice your opinion in Discussion, below.

Support

 * 1) Support - see my argument above, that started off the debate. Social Studiously 13:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Support - appears to be the correct name of the airline according to their main page which is proudly titled "Welcome to Royal Brunei Airlines" Orderinchaos78 11:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Support. Seems like a no-brainer to me. -- Sig Pig  |SEND - OVER 13:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Since this article opens with Royal Brunei Airlines would it not be more logical for the article to be at Royal Brunei Airlines. According to http://www.bruneiair.com/aboutus/history.asp the airlines own web site states Royal Brunei Airlines, the country’s flag carrier,.... What thoughts do the regular editors of this article have. note: I'm happy to do move and dab all the links if the consensus is to move.  Gnangarra 13:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Result
This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 14:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Good Article Nomination
I have nominated Royal Brunei for Good Article Status. I have read the What is a good article? section of Wikipedia very well, and when I matched this up to the Royal Brunei article, I determined it to fit the criteria. I'm not sure if I'm too 'new' to list it for good article status, but I do really believe it fits the criteria. '''Social Studiously My Editor Review! -''' 11:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

My Interpretation

 * GA review (see here for criteria)

 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * 1) It is stable.
 * 2) It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * 1) Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:
 * a Pass/Fail:

Failed "good article" nomination
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of March 31, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

 * 1. Well written?: no, one-sentence paragraphs, etc.
 * 2. Factually accurate?: practically no references
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: no, stub sections
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: yes
 * 5. Article stability? yes
 * 6. Images?: yes

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. — Todor→Bozhinov 20:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Cleaning Up Trivia
I was just wondering why their are Airline Codeshare's listed as "trivia", I would of created a new Section for this, but want to make sure that it isn't a problem with everyone here. any feedbback appreciated! tomauer 11:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:RoyalBrulogo.PNG
Image:RoyalBrulogo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Mistakes
"Passengers may check-in between 1 to 48 hours prior to departure. This may be done at the check-in counters available at the airport." Is this correct? I think you can check in online up to two days before departure but if you wanna check in at the airport you can't do it that early (that's maybe obvious). Checking in at London Heathrow, for instance, can be done up to three hours before departure. Source: http://www.bruneiair.com/travel_info/general_info.asp
 * This has now been updated with references from their website.Robson 06:33, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

"Alternatively, passengers may check-in online." Only passengers flying from Brunei, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur can check in online, again according to their website.

Airbus picture
Can we include an Airbus A319 or A320 picture to replace one of the three 767 pictures? 124.168.128.33 (talk) 23:23, 27 May 2010 (UTC)map

In-flight service and awards section improvements
I suggest to either remove the awards from the section header or add some awards history. Unfortunately RBA hasn't been getting any prestigious international awards lately.

The ban on smoking is also almost ubiquitous in the airline industry and it does not belong in this article. There already is a wikipedia article about Inflight smoking.

The intention behind RBA's not serving of alcohol is alluded to in this section and may not be appropriate. Permission for BYO alcohol may not be explicit as I can't find any official references, it can be considered to remove that statement.

Perhaps this section can be expanded by including RBA's inflight meal offerings and inflight entertainment options. Robson 07:12, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
