Talk:Mark Fuhrman

Bugliosi and Outrage
I deleted the defence's point by point outline of a Police conspiracy. It has no relevance to the Buglioso and Outrage section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.218.32.147 (talk) 04:51, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Note about Murder In Greenwich
Hi -- I'm by no means a Wiki writer, but I was browsing through the Wiki today and was rather disgusted by how clearly biased in favor of the prosecution and Mark Fuhrman certain portions of this article are.

In particular, the childish capitalizion of the word SCREENPLAY to push the point, and the analysis of the defense as "desperate" and having "no evidence" against Fuhrman is indeed a very biased representation of the trial and his role in it; even fairly balanced or pro-prosecution analyses of this trial that I have seen have not evaluated the defense as "desperate" at that point... beyond which of course, it's an inappropriate injection of personal bias into a Wiki article. Can someone revise? -Melissa, November 12 2006 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.161.107.147 (talk • contribs)

Can we quit messing with the quote please? james_anatidae 12:02, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

Can anyone comfirm if he Sandpoint, Idaho is an active area for white supremacy? Maybe an intresrting fact to note. I've run into this information: During the trial, Fuhrman moved to a "hotbed" of white supremacy, Sandpoint, Idaho, right next door to the former Grand Dragon of the Texas Ku Klux Klan, Louis Beam. Fuhrman's new house was located just a few miles from Hayden Lake, Idaho, where the Aryan Nation's compound was located where his new neighbor Lois Beam was "ambassador at large." http://www.johnnyleeclary.com/racists.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.176.187 (talk • contribs)

 * Unfortunately, northern Idaho has received more attention than deserved for a small white supremacist group that holds an annual parade in Coeur d'Alene (I believe). It's hardly a "hot-bed," especially considering the number of larger, more active hate groups that can be found in the southern and eastern United States. If I remember correctly, a questionable lawsuit chased them back east for a while, but I think they raised enough money there to repurchase their compound. I haven't heard anything on the news about their parade for some time, but they may have just finally decided to stop giving them media attention. --MLS — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.117.90.197 (talk • contribs)

 * According to Fuhrman's book, there is an Aryan group about 30 miles from Sandpoint, but they generally stay in their compound except when they come up in the middle of the night to distribute literature that everyone burns. -- SES — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.31.4.46 (talk • contribs)

I've added Fuhrman's recent book on Terri Schiavo to this article, along with a brief mention of the subject matter of his two latest books. However, I was really stumped when trying to find a brief, NPOV way to reference the entire Schiavo controversy. If someone hasd a less stilted but still NPOV way to rephrase what I've added, please do so. Dayv 16:59, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

I deleted the reference alleging Fuhrman's book contradicts the autopsy report. I have read the report and Fuhrman's book; they are not contradictory. The fact is the autopsy report doesn't back Michael Schiavo and George Felos' claims (no matter what AP's Mitch Stacy and the St. Pete Times claimed) and couldn't prove one way or the other she was PVS.--SN — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.53.125.160 (talk • contribs)

Martha Moxley book
I was a classmate of Martha Moxley and am very familiar with the case against Michael Skakel. I do not believe it is correct to say that this book "helped re-open the case." It was an excellent book and helped keep public attention focused on the case. But credit for re-opening the case is more appropriately placed with the many years of investigation conducted by Detective Frank Garr. For more information on this consider the book Conviction: solving the Moxley murder : a reporter and a detective's twenty-year search for justice, by Leonard Levitt, ISBN 0060544309--Frank Quinn (talk) 20:16, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Totally dead
As of right now the whole page is invisible due to a runaway HTML comment. I closed the comment tag but found plenty of other runaway formatting tags, misplaced signatures, citations reformatted as links, etc. Is there a last-known-good revision? White 720 01:56, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

No, that wasn't Mark in the Jerry Springer parody. I have asked him if he had seen it and he said he didn't even know about it.

I just want people to put in the facts and not inflamatory statements or personal opinions. I have a good revision and it is factual, truthful. If you want it, let me know. Sometimes people edit things with with the best of intentions and get the things mixed up as to where things are suppose to go but there was a version in there that was not factual with lots of lies and made up versions. Men Against Women was not a secret society, it was a play and I can verify everything I have on Mark, please just state the facts and the truth. Someone kept changing his version of the events, which were lies, back to his version and would not let anyone add anything to it, even when it was verified and sourced. He said "the truth isn't important." Sorry but the truth is important. (http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/Simpson/Simpsonaccount.htm)

How can one verify that a secret society called Men against Women(MAW)existed? They can't because the LAPD and various other police and state agencies investigated it and found that it did not exist at all.(http://www.policenet.com/fuhrman5.html). So how is it that this person can't verify that it existed and keep insisting on putting it in the text without verification? (http://www.cnn.com/US/9605/31/fuhrman.probe/index.html)

I can send you the facts and you can format it correctly if you like, as long as you are not the one who was writing the lies. We will not allow anything but the truth and verified information to be published about Mark, or we will take steps to stop it. Mark's record was cleared in April 2, 1998 and there is a case number to prove it but that was not accepted by this particular user and he deleted it out. (Case#: XCNBA109273-01, Dismissed: per 1203.4 P.C., Disposition date: 04/02/1998, Charge code: Perjury) (https:// www.lasuperiorcourt.org/onlineservices/criminalindex). You can't go around making things up about people and adding your own opinions, it is a legal liability, and people should know that.

 * I believe the "someone" mentioned above refers to me. If so, I have been misqouted. I never said "the truth isn't important." You can find out what I actually said on Sunnytwoyou's talk page. You can find further legal threats on my talk page. Ian Cheese 21:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Why is this page blank? Bscottbrown 18:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

My concern is when anyone authors any information on an internet site, it is considered 'Intellectual Property' and subject to scrutiny by a court of law. Therefore whenever anyone wishes to edit or add any information on any site about a living person, it is important that they ask themselves if this information is verified or sourced to a reliable source, as we know ignorance isn't a defense in a court of law. If it cannot be verified, it is better to side with caution and not add it and 'CYA' than, write it and it be published and then have to answer for it in a courtroom, if it is ever legally challenged.

Ian, You did say that the truth isn't important and that I needed to source my info but I did not see you, source your Men Against Women (MAW) content that you keep adding. I actually would like to know if you have a source that has actual proof that it existed. That is what bothers me. You demand sources to me yet, your source for MAW just mirrors the article already on the page. If it can't be sourced, then it can't be forced......upon us as a fact or an entity in existance. I just want the information to be truthful and factual. 12/12/06 sunnytwoyou I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT SUNNYTWOYOU HAS A GRAVE MENTAL HEALTH DISEASE, AND SHE NEEDS HELP. SHE IS BIPOLR AND MANIC AND CAN BE VERY THREATENING TO MOST PEOPLE WHO GET IN HER WAY. SHE IS OBSESSED WITH MARK FUHRMAN AND HAS MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES. SHE IS NOT A FRIEND. I  WOULD JUST LIKE TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT. OUR FAMILY IS VERY CAUTIOUS OF HER EVERY MOVE. SHE IS IN NO WAY AFFLIATED WITH OUR FAMILY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.185.234.205 (talk • contribs)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________ If the current is the correct version, then why are citations needed? I sourced and referenced my info and you keep deleting it. It is below for anyone to come to their own conclusions:

During the trial, Fuhrman denied ever using the word "nigger" for the previous ten years, yet the defense offered audiotape contradicting that testimony. Fuhrman gave a taped interview in 1985 to Laura Hart McKinney, an aspiring screenwriter and former girlfriend of Fuhrman's working on a screenplay about male and female police officers. Initially, McKinny would not allow the tape recordings or transcripts to be reviewed by the Department because she feared the information might be leaked to the public thereby reducing their value. In an effort to obtain access, the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office filed a motion requesting access so the Department could investigate Fuhrman’s allegations of police misconduct. An agreement, in the form of a Protective Order, was reached and approved by the court in which McKinny agreed to allow City Attorney James Hahn to obtain one copy of the tapes and one copy of her transcripts from the District Attorney provided that Mr. Hahn maintained those items securely in his office. Further, Mr. Hahn agreed to allow only eight named members of the Police Commission and seven named members of the Department to review the tapes and transcripts under controlled circumstances. No other copies were to be made and, upon completion of any administrative hearings, the City agreed to return the tapes to McKinny. No disclosure of the tapes’ contents is allowed except as necessary for an effective personnel investigation or administrative hearing regarding police misconduct. In accordance with this agreement, no copy of the tapes or McKinny’s transcripts is contained in the supporting documentation for this investigation. In compliance with the letter and spirit of that Protective Order, the taped conversation between McKinny and Fuhrman are summarized in this document.[]REVIEW OF TAPES/TRANSCRIPTS In further interviews, Fuhrman bragged about beating and torturing gang members. See Fuhrman tapes for more details on content of tapes. Only very limited excerpts of the tapes were admitted as evidence in the 1995 murder trial against O.J. Simpson, yet the admitted portions were strong enough to cast doubts on Fuhrman's motives and credibility. The recordings had been made over a period of six months, ten years previously, when McKinney lived and worked in Los Angeles. There, she had done a lot of journalistic work revealing racism and sexism in the LAPD She had met Mark Fuhrman one evening at Alice's Restaurant in Westwood and struck up a friendship with him. She was intending to use the tapes as a basis for a screenplay she was writing called Men Against Women. [] "Men Against Women" was not a secret organization, it was a screenplay written by Laura Hart McKinney and former Fuhrman girlfriend, he and other LAPD officers role played in the play by playacting and talking into microphone and recording the officers whilst acting out their roles. The problems began in 1985, following the investigation of a supposed group of males at the West LA division called "Men Against Women." The group was reportedly sexist and shunned female police officers. Internal Affairs, the Police Commission, and Inspection and Control investigated the allegations, but no discrimination was found, just a few bad jokes. 'Murder in Brentwood',Pg.182 Laura Hart McKinney, Fuhrman's former girlfriend was reportedly paid $255,000.00 dollars for the tapes that she offered up to the defense in the hopes of taking advantage of her 15 minutes of fame and to sell her screenplay 'Men Against Women'

As a result, the prosecution labeled their main police witness as a "bad cop." With the jury absent on September 6, 1995, Fuhrman was asked questions as to whether or not he had ever falsified police reports or if he had planted or manufactured evidence in the Simpson case and he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Fuhrman later pled no contest to a perjury charge and was sentenced to one years probation and fined $200. He appealed the case and in October 2, 1996, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ouderkirk cleared Mark Fuhrman of all charges and purged his record, (Case #LACBA109273-01 Filed at Clara Shortbridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center 10/02/1998) LAPD did an official investigation into all of the cases Mark Fuhrman handled in his career as a police officer and Sgt. Detective and no evidence of racial biased was ever found. Officer Robert Riske was the first officer who found the glove (one at the murder scene), and Fuhrman and his boss Ron Phillips were the second. Fuhrman is the one who found the second brown bloody glove behind Kato Kaelin's bungalow and much of the blood drops at Simpson's home and in his White Ford Bronco, and who entered Simpson's estate without a search warrant due to exigent circumstances. Because of the blood found on O.J's Bronco, Senior Det. Phillip Vannatter made the decision to enter the Simpson Estate without a warrant."A Murder in Brentwood", Pg. 29. Fuhrman's credibilty was re-established when O.J. Simpson wrote his book "If I Did It", to be released November 30, 2006 and the American public rejected it. The Fox News interview by Judith Reagan and the publishing of the book by Harper/Collins were canceled. Fuhrman made $105,000.00 dollars for his first book 'A Murder in Brentwood' in royalties and had to sue the publisher to get those. He has not made royalties on any other of his last five books.

Post-Trial
After the trial, Fuhrman retired from the LAPD and moved to Sandpoint, Idaho and wrote a book about the Simpson case, called Murder in Brentwood. For his next book, Murder in Greenwich, he investigated the then-unsolved 1975 murder of Martha Moxley and presented his theory that the murderer was Michael Skakel, a relative of the Kennedy family. Skakel was convicted for the murder in June 2002. The book was made into a TV movie in 2002, starring Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Oz) as Fuhrman. In May 1998, Mark Fuhrman was given a polygraph test on the Fox Network show Lie Detector. The test's administrator claimed the results indicated that Fuhrman did not plant the bloody glove and that he was not aware of the bloody glove before entering Simpson's property. More recently, Fuhrman has written books on the controversial subjects of capital punishment and the medical treatment and death of Terri Schiavo. Most recently, he has written a book on the John F. Kennedy assassination. In it he advances a theory debunking the Single Bullet Theory while still maintaining that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. He claims that the Warren Commission was forced to adopt the Single Bullet Theory for political reasons. However, he says that a dent in the presidential limousine used that day in the chrome above the windshield vindicates the story told by John Connally that a first shot hit President John Kennedy without hitting him. Fuhrman is a frequent guest of conservative commentator Sean Hannity and a contributor for FOX News. He is also the host of his own show the popular Spokane, WA radio show "The Mark Fuhrman Show" on AM radio station www.1510kga.com between the hours of 8am-11am Pacific. The show covers local and national policitcs and topics and includes many guest callers and listeners. In response to the proposed book 'If I Did It' written by O.J. Simpson to be published by ReganBooks (an imprint of HarperCollins), Fuhrman stated that he would drop HarperCollins as publisher of his own books in the future. However, Simpson's book has since been cancelled due to public outcry of the book and the interview. Fuhrman did drop Harper/Collins and will not write anymore books with them until his contract expires.

The above is most certainly referenced and sourced and verified, not only by Mark Fuhrman himself but by court records, case numbers and interviews.

Edit War/Dispute
Hi all, after a long, futile argument with Sunntwoyou I went out and found 4 references for the disputed section. Does anyone, besides her, still dispute the factual accuracy of this article?Bscottbrown 03:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I have corresponded with Sunnytwoyou and I believe that she is satisfied on the accuracy and NPOV of the article now. If no one else has any objections I will remove the NPOV and Fact Accuracy sometime Wednesday.Bscottbrown 15:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I do know that MAW was not a secret organization and was investigated by the LAPD and found not to exist. http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/famous/simpson/siege_11.html

Fuhrman's case history was also investigated by the Attorney General and LAPD and various other agencies and their findings of fact state that Fuhrman did not use racism or engage in it in any form in any of his case history as a LAPD Police Officer or as a Detective Sergeant. I will put in a reference or link for this as well. Have had a great correspondence with Bscottbrown on all issues regarding Mark's history and we are working together as a team to achieve the best most accurate information about Mark and the history surrounding the Simpson trial. He is teaching me how to use the various tools on Wikipedia to put my info in perspective and in the right places, as I did not know how to before. I desire the facts and the truths, bad or good, to be presented in a non-violent provoking content. Mark is not a murderer and he looks like a racist according to these quotes but listen to the tapes in it's context and judge for yourself the use of the 'N' word as I am not sure that he said them to hurt or degrade anyone, as he spoke them into a microphone for his then girlfriend, Laura Hart McKinney. If he had racism in his heart back in 1985, whilst these tapes were being made, he lives with his lack of judgement every single day and how it has affected his life and the lives of his family. His children are now old enough to look up information on their father and this is what I think about when editing or adding information on Mark Fuhrman. He didn't kill two people, he has never stolen from anyone, he has never been involved in domestic violence, stole anyones identity and he is not a rich man. He is just like the rest of us plodding along in life trying to make ends meet and put food on the table and a roof over his children's head like everyone else in life. He has paid his dues in ways we could never understand and he has learned his lesson. He doesn't make a lot of money as he had to sue for the royalties from his first book, Murder in Brentwood, but he has made no royalties on his last five books. He lives a very simple life, drives an old truck, has a very modest home with a little bit of land in Northern Idaho. I want people to know that he also does a lot of good things too like his involvement and contributions to various charity organizations. He gives a lot of free help and consultation to the families of murdered victims and there isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't offer help to various communities on how to keep your children safe. So, he does a lot of good too. Thank you Bscottbrown for helping me. Sunnytwoyou ________________________________________________________________________________________________

WAFUZ: I don't understand why I can't refer to links in the discussion page, when I put it on the article page, my information keeps getting deleted. I think it is important that another side or other sources of the information on Mark Fuhrman be allowed to be read. I have as much right as anyone else to add information to the article but people keep reverting back and it leads me to believe that my Freedom of Speech is being stepped on and I have a right to argue my side and since it keeps being deleted, I have to put it in the discussion page. So please do not delete this information, so people have another view. It is the discussion page and no one should object to my so called 'popups' and I didn't see where they are illegal. I was told many times to source and verify and I did and now these are getting deleted.

June 2007 changes
removed "most of". I'm not aware that nolo contendere exempts the pleader from ANY additional consequences that would apply to a guilty plea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.156.31.150 (talk • contribs)
 * A nolo plea doesn't require the pleader to allocute the charges, for one thing. Blueboy96 22:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course, but as the wiki article says, the pleader "is subject to any and all penalties, fines, and forfeitures of a conviction from a guilty plea" 130.156.31.150 22:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

removed "racial bias". Somewhat specious claim in light of recorded statements

suggest removing "technically" as not being needed. He's not "technically" a felon, he IS a felon. 130.156.31.150 22:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Radio Commentary?
This line seems inappropriate and biased:

"The divorced father of a son, Cole, and a daughter, Hayley, Fuhrman is a frequent guest of conservative commentator Sean Hannity for FOX News."

Why does he need to be described as a divorced father of a son and daughter under the radio commentary section? Also he's a guest on Hannity and Colmes which has a conservative and a liberal on it. I'm waiting for the day when wikipedia describes public figures as "liberal" as often as they liberally apply the "conservative" label. Pardon the pun. --72.211.227.15 04:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * The divorced father part is indeed irrelevant and I removed it. However your characterisation of Hannity and Colmes is somewhat inaccurate, check out theH&C article and Alan Colmes for details Nil Einne (talk) 14:02, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Margaret York

 * Ito was married to Margaret York, an LAPD captain who had worked with Fuhrman in the past, and Fuhrman felt that Ito should have been recused by the prosecution or voluntarily removed himself from the case on that basis.

Some more elabaration would be helpful. For example, if Fuhrman said he had conflict with York, that would be more significant then simply having worked with her. (This wouldn't be surprising given his involvement in 'Men again women' and the fact she was a woman) Or alternatively if he had work with her fairly extensively. As an LAPD captain I would presume York would have worked with most LAPD officers in some fashion so it would seem a bit strange to me to suggest he should recurse himself for any officers who had worked with her (which would seemingly mean he would have to recuse himself most of the time in criminal trials). Of course maybe this really was what he was suggesting Nil Einne (talk) 17:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Made up?
In the state of California, anyone who fabricates evidence in a death penalty case can be sentenced to death themselves.

I really don't think this is accurate, atleast not now. Right now the only thing you can be executed for is murder, rape of a child and maybe treason. (Armed Robbery possibly too)

Can anyone attest to this fact using a better source rather then some old book? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.195.93.68 (talk) 11:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

No one's put up anything for some time. I assume this information is made up, as no one can back it up and no one agrees with it. I've removed the line from the article. If you can come up with acceptable evidence that is it true, you can put it back. One line in one old book doesn't make it true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.195.93.68 (talk) 12:35, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Plagiarism
This article not only links to a CBS News reference, it repeats what the linked article says word-for-word without quotation marks. This is called plagiarism. I didn't bother to read the rest since it is at the usual level of Wikipedia swill. Nicmart (talk) 00:56, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I am removing most of the Idaho section, since the first sentence is as noted above, blatant plagarism, and the rest seemed to be some sort of collection of angry additions with no relevance to Furman. If you would like to discuss the views of Idaho as racist by others, put it on the Idaho article. --Wlf211 (talk) 13:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Lead section
I removed the part about his conviction as unsourced but see it cited further into the article. Not sure if that belongs in the lead anyways but maybe readd it? --Tom 16:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I was copy editing the lead and reinserted it. I don't know how detailed the lead should be, but his work in the murder investigation and trial is what he's best known for. 130.156.31.181 (talk) 22:59, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I simplified the lead to avoid undue weight. The details are in the body of the article. Tom (talk) 02:22, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I inserted a phrase in the lead. I understand what you mean about undue weight, but it's an important detail.
 * While we're on the subject, this whole article should be reviewed for undue weight. As much space is given to one of Furhman's book as to his involvement in the murder investigation.  At least, I think the paragraph which deals with Bugliosi's book should be removed.  130.156.31.148 (talk) 16:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. I also agree that the book section is too much. I would trim it about in 1/2. --Tom (talk) 16:42, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Removal of unsourced, unverified material from lede
I removed the phrase "and no evidence has been produced to contradict this claim" this phrase seeming to qualify the first part of the sentence "Fuhrman maintains that he did not plant or manufacture evidence in the O.J. Simpson case" The removed phrase has the effect of qualifying Former Detective Fuhrman's statement, particularly be rendering it as more credible. Since there is no source to back up Fuhrman's statement, it is inappropriate to include it in the lede. This is still a quite controversial subject, given that the truth or falsity of the statement would determine whether or not the jury verdict in the alleged "Trial of the (20th) Century" was made in error. It someone can provide a source (or a reason, within WP guidelines) that my change was made in error, please do so. However, in my view, purporting a fact to be true in the lead of an article, without source and based only on either synthesis of other sources in the article or a sheer guess, is not proper with WP guidelines. Furthermore, claimants bear the burden of their claims, and a simple statement of the absence of evidence is insufficient to establish the evidence of absence. I strongly doubt that there is not some source that could justifiably qualify the phrase, but such a source isn't available for this particular assertion, and the burden of proof falls on whoever made the assertion (which is unknown at this time since the entire sentence is unsourced), not on the respondent. In other words, I strongly encourage somebody to prove me wrong, as that is how true statements are separated from false ones.Skberry889 (talk) 23:08, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Innocent until proven guilty. The preceding paragraph implies that Fuhrman may have planted the glove (because this is what he is known for), and we have a duty to balance this with the actual facts. Even if you assume that he did plant the glove, it is a simple fact that the prosecution presented exactly zero evidence (forensic, eyewitness, etc.) during the trial that Fuhrman planted the glove. They merely implied that he must have because he climbed the wall and used racist terms (and later pleaded the fifth). There is no ~evidence~ to substantiate those claims. The first cop at the murder scene found a single glove there before Fuhrman could even have arrived to have "stolen" the other in order to plant it. So, in summary, your reference for there being no evidence that Fuhrman planted the glove is "The entire O.J. Simpson trial and everything that has happened in the twenty-odd years since then." I have added a reference to a Baltimore Sun article that states "Since the defense has no evidence that Detective Fuhrman moved anything, it is resorting instead to innuendo." Bueller 007 (talk) 00:31, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Honestly, the Baltimore Sun article would have been sufficient. I was looking at it simply as an element of the lede.  Also I wasn't suggesting that Fuhrman planted the glove, only that an unsourced statement that he didn't was sufficient for the lede.  The lede is much better now.

 * Also, not to sound nitpicky, but the prosecution wouldn't have presented evidence of planting even if it had it (although they would have to turn over any evidence to the defense to comply with Brady), and it was the defense that would have had to prove planting (which, of course they didn't). Just to be clear, I'm not an OJ-truther, I just saw a statement beneficial to the subject, in the lede, with the conclusion that no evidence contradicted his story left unsourced.  Now it is sourced.  Many thanks.Skberry889 (talk) 01:18, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Expungement
California courts say "If you were convicted of an infraction, a misdemeanor, or a felony and were NOT sentenced to state prison or put under the authority of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, you can petition for a dismissal (people often use the term “expungement” when talking about a “dismissal.”)" See also. Fuhrman had his conviction dismissed/expunged under 1203.4 P.C. Search case number BA109273 here:. By any fair standard, it's safe to say that Fuhrman's conviction was dismissed or expunged, rather than the awkward and sketchy sounding wording that the anonymous IP user wishes to use. Bueller 007 (talk) 01:35, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

 * While I'm not glad that you violated 3rr, that you thought it was necessary to mention that I am an "anonymous" IP, as if there is any other kind and as if it is relevant, and are characterizing as "awkward and sketchy" words taken directly from a source which uses as it basis Furhman's attorney's own words, I am glad that you heeded my advice and familiarized yourself,however superficially, with California law. Your own source indicates dismissal as the preferred term, and you neglected the obvious step of wiki linking to the the very article on expungement, which explains that California post conviction remedies, which are quite nuanced, are sometimes characterized as expungement, regardless of whether this is consistent with how the term is traditionally understood.  Perhaps in in the interest of improving this project you'll consider these changes.  2600:1002:B10D:B2EF:D4EC:1ED9:38FE:DAF5 (talk) 02:21, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Conduct Review by LAPD
Extinct by instinct (talk) 00:45, 24 July 2017 (UTC)== LAPD Officials Confirmed the Existence of "Men Against Women." ==

When the LAPD reviewed Fuhrman's workplace conduct, they presented evidence to the civilian commision following the O.J. Simpson trial indicating there was indeed widespread malicious conduct orchestrated in certain precincts at the time and that Mark Fuhrman was involved in those activities.

From L.A. Times, July 30, 1996: Fuhrman Faces Reprimand for Treatment of Female Officers

'''The results of the LAPD inquiry will be shared with the civilian Police Commission in a closed session after today's meeting, sources said, and will recommend that Fuhrman receive a reprimand for his treatment of women colleagues.

"Fuhrman participated actively in creating a hostile work environment" during his time at the West Los Angeles police station, where he allegedly was a member of an informal group known as MAW, short for Men Against Women, a source familiar with the case said. "There are a litany of things about that time that have come to light."

Specifically, sources said investigators probed comments by the then-detective, who would allegedly deride the abilities of female colleagues and would suggest that they were unfit for police work. A previous investigation of the West L.A. station also confirmed the existence of Men Against Women.

Based on those allegations, LAPD investigators are prepared to recommend that Fuhrman, now retired and living in Idaho, receive a reprimand. If the chief and Police Commissioners agree, Fuhrman would be given a chance to respond. If his response is unconvincing or if he chooses not to fight the action, the blight on his record would be included in his personnel package.'''

"Play the race card"
The page currently states "In an article by Jeffrey Toobin in the July 25 issue of The New Yorker, the defense revealed that they planned to play "the race card". I looked up the article and the phrase "race card" only appears once when Toobin writes "By one reckoning, the new strategy may simply be a sign of desperation; the race card may be the only one in Simpson’s hand." Additionally, earlier in the article he writes "Simpson’s attorneys understand the implications of a racially tinged strategy, and there appear to be subtle but real differences of opinion within the defense camp about how hard to push the race angle", which in my opinion is not what a journalist would write when referring a subject engaged in what as commonly understood as "playing the race card". I don't think it's appropriate to use "race card" in quotes for this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.204.66 (talk) 17:37, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure if I follow the point. The quote "race card" appears directly in the citation. The source is on our RS list. And Toobin is a award winning journalist. Furthermore, the term "race card" appears only once in the article (and it should probably appear more since this is something the defense has been accused of in numerous other sources). So in summary: I don't see the issue here. Rja13ww33 (talk) 18:53, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The reading I was trying to convey is that to me, the Wikipedia article is explicitly claiming that Toobin is claiming the defense will "playing the race card" and that the text of the New Yorker article doesn't support that assertion, since "race card" appears once, not as quote from anyone on the defense but as an authorial description of a potential trial strategy. 74.193.204.66 (talk) 19:07, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It is a quote directly from the article. And Toobin says in the article exactly that (and that is exactly what the defense has been accused of doing in RS). Another quote from the article: "In fact, the defense’s theory is even more monstrous. The defense will assert that Mark Fuhrman’s motivation for framing O. J. Simpson is racism. “This is a bad cop,” one defense lawyer told me. “This is a racist cop.”" So again: I don't see the issue here. Rja13ww33 (talk) 19:17, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Gwynfynydd Gold Mine

Gwynfynydd Gold Mine is near Ganllwyd, Dolgellau, Gwynedd, Wales. The lode, which was discovered in 1860, was worked from 1884. It has produced more than 45,000 troy ounces of Welsh gold until mining ceased in 1998. The equivalent of 1,400 kg (£44,871,642 on 2017 markets).

History
Gold was found in the Dolgellau area in the 1850s and a mining rush developed. The first gold was discovered at Gwynfynydd in 1863, but it was not until 1887 that the mine was developed commercially. By this time the mine had been acquired by William Pritchard Morgan, who was to become known as the "Welsh gold king", and who paid for two police constables to protect the mine.

By 1888, two hundred people were employed at the site, the gold being extracted by driving horizontal tunnels (adits) into the mountainside, with the miners working deep underground by candlelight. The machinery was powered by water wheels and water turbines. In contrast to other mines in the area where the gold was found in shallow deposits, the Gwynfynydd gold is extracted from large quartz veins deep underground.

Uses
Gold from the Gwynfynydd Mine has been used in many modern awards. Notably, Gwynfynydd gold has been incorporated in the Glyndŵr Award. This medal has been awarded annually since 1995 by the Machynlleth Tabernacl Trust, for excellence in the arts in Wales. Recipients have included many outstanding Welsh artists, beginning with painter Sir Kyffin Williams in 1995.

In April 1986, Queen Elizabeth II was presented with a kilogram of Welsh gold from the mine to celebrate her 60th birthday.

Gwynfynydd now
The mine closed because of Health and Safety law, which would have almost doubled the cost of sinking mine shafts and galleries, and because of changing pollution control legislation which would have made the owners liable for the quality of the mine discharge into the River Mawddach had the mine remained open.

The land surrounding Gwynfynydd Gold Mine was previously owned by Welsh Gold Plc, but has recently been acquired by Clogau Gold of Wales Ltd. Clogau purchased circa 80 acres of land surrounding the mine in mid-2013, giving them more control of Welsh gold production.

Stellan Bengtsson

Stellan Bengtsson (born 26 July 1952) is a Swedish former table tennis player. He became the first Swede to win the men's singles at the World Table Tennis Championships in 1971. He has won three World championships, seven European championships and 65 International championships.

He also won seven English Open titles.

Notable events
First Swede to win World Championships

Bengtsson was born in Falkenberg, on the West coast of Sweden in 1952 and began to play table tennis at the age of eight. His small stature (167 cm tall, weighing 60 kg) helped him match the Chinese and he became the first Swede to win the individual World Championships in 1971. In total, Bengtsson has no less than 10 World Championship - and 13 European Championship medals to his credit. Because of his world championship, Bengtsson earned the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal.

Statue Raised in Bengtsson's Honor

It was three Rotary clubs, Falkenbergs Rotaryclub, Falkenberg-Herting Rotaryclub and Falkenberg-Kattegatt Rotaryclub, who originally launched the proposal in autumn 2003 and Bengtsson naturally gladly accepted. Stellan Bengtsson's contribution to the world of table tennis was immortalized when a bronze statue of the legendary Swede was raised in his hometown, Falkenberg, in 2006. Half a million Swedish kronor was raised from various sponsors and a local artist, Martina Falkehag Finn, was chosen amongst a number of qualified candidates to complete the project. The statue is located in the Falkenberg city hall and will be moved to Falkenberg's new athletic arena when the new indoor stadium is completed in a couple of years. Stellan Bengtsson currently teaches in After School Learning Tree in San Diego, California. He coaches kids and others to play.

Celia Lovsky

Celia Lovsky (born Cäcilia Josefina Lvovsky, February 21, 1897 – October 12, 1979) was an Austrian-American actress. She is best known to fans of Star Trek as the Vulcan matriarch T'Pau, and to fans of The Twilight Zone as the aged daughter of an eternally youthful Hollywood actress.

Early years
Lovsky was born in Vienna, daughter of Břetislav Lvovsky, a minor Czech opera composer and his wife, Vallee, a cellist. She studied theater, dance, and languages at the Austrian Royal Academy of Arts and Music.

Life and career
Lovsky married journalist Heinrich Vinzenz Nowak in 1919. By 1925, they were apparently estranged and she was romantically involved with playwright Arthur Schnitzler. She later moved to Berlin, where she acted in the surrealist plays Dream Theater and Dream Play by Karl Kraus. There, in 1929, she met Peter Lorre, who had seen her in a production of Shakespeare's Othello near Vienna. The couple traveled to Paris, London, and the United States. Lovsky was instrumental in bringing Lorre to the attention of Fritz Lang, leading eventually to Lorre's appearance in the film M (1931) directed by Lang. They lived together for five years before their marriage. They married in 1934 and divorced in 1940 or 1944, remaining close friends for the rest of Lorre's life.

After the couple settled in Santa Monica, California, Lorre had not wished Lovsky to work, believing he should be the breadwinner and she should remain at home. For the rest of Lorre's life, she was his publicist, manager, secretary, financial planner, nurse and confidant. However, after their divorce, she started taking roles in American movies and television. She made a name for herself playing roles such as the deaf-mute mother of Lon Chaney in Man of a Thousand Faces (1957) with James Cagney and as Apache Princess Saba in the 1955 film Foxfire starring Jane Russell and Jeff Chandler.

As she grew older, she was given dowager roles, such as a Spanish matriarch in an episode of Bonanza titled "The Spanish Grant" (1960) and Have Gun Will Travel titled "The Man Who Wouldn't Talk" (1958) (with Charles Bronson), Romany matriarchs, elderly Native American women such as in the Wagon Train episode "A Man Called Horse", expatriate Russian princesses, and a role as the widowed mother of Reinhard Schwimmer, one of the victims in the film The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967). Her final movie appearance was of the "Exchange Leader" in Soylent Green (1973). She delivers the final confirmation to Edward G. Robinson's character Sol about Soylent Green's true ingredient.

One of her television appearances were in the Twilight Zone episode "Queen of the Nile" (1964), in which she played the elderly daughter of a never-aging actress (played by Ann Blyth); another was as the Vulcan matriarch T'Pau who presides at Mr. Spock's wedding in the Star Trek episode "Amok Time" (1967).

Death
On October 12, 1979, Lovsky died at her home in Los Angeles, aged 82.

The Ziff Who Came to Dinner

"The Ziff Who Came to Dinner" is the fourteenth episode of the fifteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on March 14, 2004. The episode focuses on Artie Ziff, who takes residence in the Simpson family's attic after declaring bankruptcy. After playing poker with Homer and losing, he gives Homer all the shares of stock of his bankrupt company. Homer then gets arrested and Marge gets upset with Artie.

This is the third of nine episodes to date written by The Simpsons voice actor Dan Castellaneta and his wife, Deb Lacusta.

Plot
Homer takes Bart and Lisa to see The Wild Dingleberries Movie and he has to bring Ned Flanders' children with him, because Ned volunteered to take the senior citizens for ice cream for Jasper's birthday. However, at the Googolplex Theatre, the movie and every other kid-friendly movie is sold out, and Rod and Todd will not let Homer see a raunchy comedy called Teenage Sex Wager since it is one of many movies condemned by a Christian publication called "What Would Jesus View?". After hearing Lenny mention he had a small part in the horror movie The Re-Deadening as a gardener, Homer takes the kids to see the movie. The movie is very scary, causing it to scare Bart and Lisa at home, who think they hear noises from the attic. But when they look in the attic, their fears scare them away. When Bart and Lisa ask Homer and Marge to look in the attic, they discover Artie Ziff living there.

Artie explains that he was living in the attic because his Internet business, Ziffcorp, crashed in the dot-com bubble, and he lost all his money after spending it on many extravagant items which then got repossessed, including the repo vans. He chose to live with the Simpsons, claiming that Marge was the closest thing he ever had to true love - although Marge quickly points out that she and Artie only had one date where he almost raped her on their high school prom night. Artie promises that he will not hit on Marge if he stays with them, which Marge objects to, but Homer, Bart, and Lisa do not. While living with the family, Artie connects with Lisa by reading her The Corrections. He then tries to buy ice cream for Bart and Milhouse, but when his credit card gets cut up, he unsuccessfully attempts to hang himself. Homer gets Artie down and takes him to Moe's.

Marge sees on the news that the SEC is looking for Artie, who is playing poker with Homer and his friends. Homer wins 98% of Ziffcorp's outstanding stock. The SEC sweeps in to arrest Artie, but Homer says he owns 230 million shares of Ziffcorp, making him the majority stockholder. To protect himself, Artie has Homer take the blame. Homer is taken into SEC custody, placed on trial, and ultimately sentenced to ten years in prison. Blaming Artie for this and angered by his selfishness, Marge kicks him out of the house and tells him she never wants to see him ever again.

Visiting Moe's Tavern, Artie encounters Patty and Selma, and Selma takes Artie to her apartment after he mentions putting Homer in prison. As they spend the night together, Artie makes a plan to turn over his corporate books in order to admit he is the real crook. He turns himself in, and Homer is released from prison. The family takes one last look at their "Uncle Artie", who is using a squirt bottle to put out the prisoners' cigarettes, much to their anger.

Critical reception
In a September 2008 review, Robert Canning of IGN gave the episode a 5.8 out of 10, saying "Unfortunately, ‘The Ziff Who Came to Dinner’ fails to match the previous episode's quality in both story and humor."

Talk:Ecclesiastical court

Untitled
Um... could someone knowledgeable in this subject rewrite the second paragraph:

 * It is important to note, however, that the above reference is to a book published in the early 1900s. In 1917 the first fully codified Code of Canon Law was issued (courts worked on decretal and precedent law before that), and a total revision of that was published in 1983, so monumental changes have taken place in procedure and statute since the above article at New Advent was written

It isn't at all clear to me what it is talking about, (what "book published in the early 1900s"? what is "New Advent"?). Further, it is self-referencing the article, (discussing the accuracy of the first paragraph). If there is something wrong with the first paragraph, then it should be rewritten. Thanks, func (talk) 18:04, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

New Advent is an on-line Catholic encyclopaedia.NRPanikker 20:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

When do contentious cases go to congregations? The congregations have the power to authentically interpret the laws within their sphere of competence, but once they do the Rota still has to apply the authentic interpretation to the case, unless I am mistaken. Pmadrid 23:15, 29 July 2005 (UTC)aa

history section
I think this very important page is in need of a history section, which addresses the changes in jurisdictional scope and struggles of over ecclesiastical courts over history, especially from Reformation through modern secularization. When, and under what historical contexts, ecclesiastical courts ceased to exercise jurisdiction over the laity is important. Also early modern struggles regarding autonomy of cannon law versus the subordination of ecclesiastical jurisprudence to civil authority.

Also,what about the church courts of presbyterian Scotland?

And in in general, it might be useful to touch on the fate of cannon law and ecclesiastical courts in other Protestant countries: in many cases elements of cannon law were maintained or blending with civil adjudication, in others the claims of pre-reformation church courts gave way to the state or civil law. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.132.21.77 (talk) 17:47, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I agree with the above author. The treatment of the historical structure of the ecclesiastical courts is pretty interesting, but rather limited without an examination of their history.76.105.243.168 (talk) 15:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Agreed! This article suffers a bad case of presentism. The lead does say " In the Middle Ages in many areas of Europe these courts had much wider powers than before the development of nation states.", but this thought isn't developed at all. Also, characterizing Ecclesiastical courts as "having jurisdiction mainly in spiritual or religious matters" is not very helpful, because different legal systems draw the line between religious and non-religious matters in different places. For example, family law (marriage, divorce, etc.) in some jurisdictions are considered religious matters. Under the Ottoman Empire, each religious community had its own courts, even for common crimes. etc. --Macrakis (talk) 17:09, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

She has had roles in television series such as Hollyoaks, Cold Feet, Merseybeat and Doctor Who, and in the films Maybe Baby and Killing Me Softly.

Background
Yasmin Bannerman was born and brought up in Gloucester, where she attended St Peter's Roman Catholic School. She spent time acting there and later joined the Everyman Youth Theatre in Cheltenham before beginning a degree in modern European literature at the University of Reading. She dropped out after a year to attend the Rose Bruford College in London, graduating in 1993.

Career
Her first television role came in 1995 when she appeared in an episode of Crown Prosecutor. Shortly afterwards she was cast as Maddie Parker in Channel 4's soap opera Hollyoaks. She describes her role in the soap as "demanding", though the character appeared less frequently as time went on. Further appearances include a brief role in Red Dwarf and a recurring role in the third series of Cold Feet as Jessica Barnes, a local political activist who has an affair with David Marsden (played by Robert Bathurst).

In the same year she appeared in Ben Elton's Maybe Baby as Melinda. Further appearances include roles in Queen of Swords, In Deep, Holby City, Life on Mars, and an eight-episode stint in Merseybeat. In 2005 she played Jabe (an alien that resembles a tree) in the second episode of BBC Wales' revival of Doctor Who. Her audition was "shrouded in secrecy" and the part required a lengthy make-up process; the prosthetics took three hours to apply and 90 minutes to remove. Further involvement in the Doctor Who franchise includes guest roles in the audio dramas The Bride of Peladon and The Fourth Wall, and a part in the Torchwood episode "They Keep Killing Suzie".

In 2015, she played Roz Forrester, a companion of the Seventh Doctor, in three novel adaptations of the Virgin New and Missing Adventures, Damaged Goods, Original Sin and Cold Fusion. These stories were adapted by Big Finish Productions. She later reprised the role in a series of four stories released in November 2018, entitled "The Seventh Doctor: The New Adventures".

In 2017, Bannerman is playing Dayna Mellanby, a character in the Blake's 7 audio adventure series by Big Finish Productions. Bannerman is the third actress to play Dayna following Josette Simon in the television series and Angela Bruce in the BBC Radio series.

Clogau Gold Mine

The Clogau (pronounced "clog-eye") Gold Mine (also known as Clogau St David's) is a gold mine near Bontddu in North Wales.

History
The Clogau mine was opened to exploit the copper and lead veins in the area north of Bontddu. In 1854, gold was discovered at the mine in a vein of quartz. The main gold-bearing vein was named the "St. David's lode", and in 1860 arrangements were made with the Crown Estate to work the gold commercially. Operations started on 28 August 1860.

Clogau produced significant amounts of gold in the 1890s. In 1899, it produced £60,000 worth of gold.

In 1919, exploration of the mine found new gold veins. A new crushing plant was installed and the mine was re-opened.

In 1989 the Clogau Gold Mine was re-opened by William Roberts, founder of Clogau Gold of Wales Ltd. Gold extraction re-commenced between 1992 and 1998, with small-scale mining providing the gold for Clogau Gold jewellery. Mining eventually ceased in 1998 due to high cost of mining and diminishing quantities of gold being found.

Future mining
A 2012 report conducted by Snowdon Mining Consultants on behalf of the previous majority owners of the mine, Gold Mining Wales Ltd (GMW), suggested that as much as 500,000 ounces of gold could be lying untouched in the area surrounding the mine, giving hope that gold may again be extracted from the Clogau Gold Mine. Alba Mineral Resources are now the majority owner of the mine and are currently drilling to assess the commercial viability of reopening parts of the mine. Previous samples taken from a 200 metre long area returned gold grades of 30.2 to 263 grams per tonne, suggesting that previously unrealised supplies of gold could potentially exist.

Talk:Press kit

Accurate?
I'm not at all sure that the article is correct in conflating press kit with media kit. The explanation given fits my understanding of a press kit, but a media kit goes in the opposite direction, i.e., it is from the media to potential advertisers. Since I am neither expert nor sure I won't re-write the article...yet. Natcolley (talk) 10:55, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Untitled
The only problem I see with removing this article is that one of the fair use copyright standards on Wikipedia is

which reads: "This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit"

But if there is some other way that someone can research on Wikipedia what would qualify as a "press kit" then it would seem reasonable to eliminate this. However, I don't see how it is a Dictionary term. Chris 21:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Press Kit page expanded - Jenn

Example
I think it would be useful if someone could create a mock-up example of a typical press kit to clearly demonstrate what they look like. I don't know how this would be implemented into the article however. Yeanold Viskersenn 17:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

1st Panzer Army

The 1st Panzer Army (1. Panzerarmee) was a German tank army that was a large armoured formation of the Wehrmacht during World War II.

When originally formed on 1 March 1940, the predecessor of the 1st Panzer Army was named Panzer Group Kleist (Panzergruppe Kleist) with Colonel General Ewald von Kleist in command.

Service history
Panzer Group Kleist was the first operational formation of several Panzer corps in the Wehrmacht. Created for the Battle of France on 1 March 1940; it was named after its commander Ewald von Kleist. Panzer Group Kleist played an important role in the Battle of Belgium. Panzer corps of the Group broke through the Ardennes and reached the sea, forming a huge pocket, containing several Belgian, British, and French armies. When the armistice was signed, the Group was deployed in occupied France, being renamed to Panzer Group 1 (Panzergruppe 1) in November. In April 1941, Panzer Group 1 took part in the invasion of Yugoslavia as part of Field Marshal Maximilian von Weichs's Second Army.

1941
In May 1941 Panzer Group 1 was attached to Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt's Army Group South at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa. At the start of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, Panzer Group 1 included the III, XIV and XLVIII Army Corps (motorized) with five panzer divisions and four motorized divisions (two of them SS) equipped with 799 tanks. Panzer Group 1 served on the southern sector of the Eastern Front against the Red Army and was involved the Battle of Brody which involved as many as 3,000 Red Army tanks. The units of the Group closed the encirclement around the Soviet armies near Uman and near Kiev. After the fall of Kiev Panzer Group 1 was enlarged to become the 1st Panzer Army (on October 6, 1941) with Kleist still in command. The army captured Rostov, but was forced to retreat eight days later.

1942
In January 1942, Army Group Kleist, which consisted of the First Panzer Army along with the Seventeenth Army, was formed with its namesake, Kleist, in command. Army Group Kleist played a major role in repulsing the Red Army attack in the Second Battle of Kharkov in May 1942. Army Group Kleist was disbanded that month. The First Panzer Army, still under Kleist, which had been attached to Army Group South earlier, became part of Army Group A under Field Marshal Wilhelm List. Army Group A was to lead the thrust into the Caucasus during Operation Blue and capture Grozny and the Baku (current capital of Azerbaijan) oilfields. The First Panzer Army was to spearhead the attack. Rostov, Maykop, Krasnodar and the Kuban region were captured.

In September 1942, the offensive by Army Group A stalled in the Caucasus and List was sacked. After Adolf Hitler briefly took personal control of Army Group A, he appointed Kleist to the command on 22 November 1942. As Kleist took over, Colonel-General Eberhard von Mackensen took the reins of the First Panzer Army. In December 1942, as the German 6th Army was being crushed in the Battle of Stalingrad, the Red Army launched an offensive against Army Group A. The First Panzer Army was ordered to retreat through Rostov in January 1943, before the Soviet forces could cut it off in the Kuban. By February 1943, the army had been withdrawn west of the Don River and Kleist withdrew the remains of his forces from Caucasus into the Kuban, east of the Strait of Kerch.

1943
In January 1943, von Mackensen's First Panzer Army became attached to Army Group Don under Field Marshal Erich von Manstein. The month after that, von Manstein redeployed the First Panzer Army together with the Fourth Panzer Army to counter-attack the Soviet breakthrough from the Battle of Stalingrad. The First Panzer Army contributed to the success of the Third Battle of Kharkov in March 1943. In July 1943, the Army, with the help of the XXIV Panzer Corps, repelled the Soviet Izyum-Barvenkovo Offensive. In October 1943 Soviet forces crossed the Dnieper River between Dnipropetrovsk and Kremenchug. The First Panzer Army counter-attacked along with the 8th Army, but failed to dislodge the Soviet forces. At the end of that month, as the Red Army closed in on Kiev, von Mackensen was replaced by Colonel-General Hans-Valentin Hube.

1944
The First Panzer Army remained attached to Army Group South from March 1943 to July 1944. By that time German troops had been pulled out from Ukraine. In March 1944, crisis hit the First Panzer Army as it was encircled by two Soviet fronts in the Battle of Kamenets-Podolsky pocket. A successful breakthrough was made, saving most of the manpower but losing the heavy equipment. That same month Hitler, who insisted his armies fight an inflexible defense to the last man, dismissed von Manstein. In October 1941, when the First Panzer Army had been formed, it was a large army consisting of four corps, several infantry, panzer, motorized, mountain, and SS divisions, along with a Romanian army and some Italian, Romanian, Hungarian, and Slovak divisions. By the spring of 1944, the First Panzer Army had shrunk considerably, consisting of only three corps, two infantry, four panzer, and one SS division. After July 1944 it retreated from Ukraine and Poland before fighting with Army Group A in Slovakia (Battle of the Dukla Pass).

1945
During its existence, from October 1941 to May 1945, the First Panzer Army spent its entire time on the Eastern Front. In the spring of 1945, the First Panzer Army's main task was to defend the Ostrava region in the north of Moravia, which was at the time the last large industrial area in the hands of Third Reich. There the First Panzer Army was facing the advance of 4th Ukrainian Front from the north-east (Ostrava-Opava Operation, 10 March – 5 May 1945) and had lost most of its heavy and medium tanks. At the same time however the Panzer Army was flanked by the 2nd Ukrainian Front from the south (Bratislava-Brno Operation, 25 March – 5 May 1945). German defensive lines finally collapsed in the early hours of Prague Offensive. The staff of First Panzer Army, along with other commands subordinated to Army Group Center, surrendered to the Soviet forces on 9 May 1945 in the area of Deutsch-Brod, while the remnants of its Panzer-units were scattered and captured all the way from Olomouc to Vysočina Region. Its last commander was general Walter Nehring, who abandoned his staff and fled south to surrender to the American forces.

Chiefs of the general staff

 * Generalmajor Kurt Zeitzler (creation – 24 April 1942)
 * Generalmajor Ernst-Felix Fäckenstedt (24 April 1942 – 15 March 1943)
 * Generalmajor Walther Wenck (15 March 1943 – 15 March 1944)
 * Generalmajor Carl Wagener (15 March 1944 – 5 November 1944)

Soeiro Pereira Gomes

Joaquim Soeiro Pereira Gomes (14 April 1909 – 5 December 1949) was a Portuguese writer of realist influence and became one of the major names of Portuguese literature of the 20th century. Pereira Gomes is, along with Alves Redol, the biggest name of the Portuguese neo-realist movement. He was also a communist militant and that was always present in his work. The Portuguese Communist Party headquarters (Soeiro Pereira Gomes Building), in Lisbon, is named after him.

Life
Soeiro was born in Gestaçô, Baião, Porto District, the son of two farmers. He studied in the Agricultural School in Coimbra. After finishing his studies, he emigrated to Portuguese Angola, where he worked for one year before returning to Portugal. He then settled in Alhandra, working in the local cement plant, where he developed an intense campaign of cultural dynamization among the workers.

But what really made him remarkable was his work as a writer and his influence upon Portuguese society throughsocialist realism. In 1939, he published his first texts in the weekly newspaper O Diabo.

Among his major works there are two novels of deep social criticism -- Esteiros and Engrenagem -- and several stories that are an exaltation of Communism and communist militancy.

As a member of the Portuguese Communist Party, Soeiro was member of the Central Committee and was forced to live underground due to the repression of the Portuguese Fascist regime. While living in such dangerous and precarious conditions and the fact he was a heavy smoker, Soeiro developed lung cancer and died of it, being unable to receive the medical help that he needed.

His major work is Esteiros, published in 1941, featuring many drawings by Álvaro Cunhal, dedicated to the  'Sons of the men who were never a child '. It is the story of a lower-class group of boys that, because of their social status, are forced to work in a small brick plant instead of studying. The book is a harsh critique of the dominant social system and its countless inequalities.

He also wrote a novel which was posthumously published: Engrenagem. It displays the changes suffered by an agricultural environment transformed into an industrial one. Differently from Esteiros, in Engrenagem, one may find a strong pamphleteer tone. It could be considered as a result of the close relationship between Gomes and the Portuguese Communist Party at the time he composed the novel.

It is right to say that, along with Alves Redol, Fernando Namora and Manuel da Fonseca, Gomes is one of the fathers of the movement known as Portuguese Neo-Realism.

Gainsborough, Lincolnshire → Gainsborough — The town is the origin of the name and arguably the most notable to use the name. —71.106.183.124 (talk) 19:06, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Survey

 * Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with  or  , then sign your comment with  . Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

 * Support as nom 71.106.183.124 (talk) 19:07, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Gainsborough" by itself is frequently used to refer to the painter. I think keeping the dab page at Gainsborough is the way to go. Deor (talk) 20:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but Thomas Gainsborough is at Thomas Gainsborough, not Gainsborough. The painter's first name is a perfect disambiguation so I don't see why that should affect the original name at all. 71.106.183.124 (talk) 21:47, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Because the primary meaning of Gainsborough is the painter, not the town. I would support having the unmodified page point to Thomas Gainsborough to serve those readers who, like me, don't remember or use his first name, and moving the dab page. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * How do you come to this conclusion? I would think that the primary meaning of Gainsborough is the town and the primary meaning of Thomas Gainsborough is the painter. 71.106.183.124 (talk) 00:51, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Because the painter is what I mean when I say "Gainsborough". That seems to be true of most of the editors here, and of the 11,000 scholars who discuss Gainsborough, about half also mention painting; only 12% mention Lincolnshire and some of those actually mean Thomas Gainsborough. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 01:54, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Reasons immediately above. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Support It makes sense to have the Gainsborough article for the town and the Thomas Gainsborough article for the painter. IrishPete (talk) 20:55, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose The dab page should be at Gainsborough. Far more encyclopedia users who enter this term are looking for the painter not the town in Lincolnshire. Noel S McFerran (talk) 13:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose for the same reasons as above. Keep the disambiguation page at Gainsborough for now, and as per WP:NCP, keep Thomas Gainsborough where it is. --tgheretford (talk) 16:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment if anyone wants Gainsborough to redirect to Thomas Gainsborough with a separate disambiguation page for other Gainsborough's, maybe it would be good to start discussion at Talk:Thomas Gainsborough? --tgheretford (talk) 16:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Anne Doyle

Anne Catherine Doyle (born 30 January 1952) is an Irish journalist, presenter and former newsreader. She is best known as a long-serving newsreader for RTÉ, who anchored the broadcaster's main evening television news programmes, during her 33 years of service.

Early life
Born in Ferns, County Wexford. Doyle was the youngest in a family of five boys and two girls. Her father, John Doyle (1903–1975), worked most of his life as a farm labourer, while her mother was the former Elizabeth Kavanagh (1916–1979). Doyle was educated at the Loreto Convent in nearby Gorey and later at University College Dublin, where she was conferred with a Bachelor of Arts in English and History before later completing a postgraduate diploma in education.

Early career
Doyle spent a year as an English and History teacher but later pursued her interest in books and became a librarian. She later joined Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs as an executive officer in the consular service.

Broadcasting
Doyle joined the RTÉ newsroom in 1978 and read her first news bulletin on Christmas Day that year. She became a regular reader for bulletins on both radio and television news services. In 1983, she became one of four presenters for RTÉ One's early evening news, then known as Newstime. The program was relaunched in 1988 as the Six One News with Doyle becoming co-anchor alongside Seán Duignan two years later. In 1992, Doyle was briefly suspended by RTÉ for refusing to cross picket lines during a technicians' strike.

Doyle became one of two sole anchors of RTÉ's flagship Nine O'Clock News in 1997, alternating with Eileen Dunne. In 2000, she was elected to represent RTÉ staff on the 14th RTÉ Authority. The following year, she took over from Marian Finucane as co-presenter of Crimeline. In addition, she filled in for Finucane as presenter of RTÉ Radio 1's The Marian Finucane Show.

In November 2011, Doyle announced she was seeking early retirement from RTÉ and had applied for a redundancy package. She presented her last RTÉ News bulletin at 8:50pm on Sunday 25 December 2011, 33 years to the day since her first bulletin. The bulletin ended with a montage of Doyle's career with RTÉ featuring tributes from among others, Taoiseach Enda Kenny and broadcaster Gay Byrne. She has said that, following her broadcasting work, she wishes to study law and enter the legal profession.

In popular culture
Doyle has become part of Irish popular culture. Puppets Podge and Rodge frequently reference Doyle in their jokes, and the satirical comedy Bull Island also featured impersonations of Anne Doyle, including parodied news bulletins in which she would state "I am Anne Doyle. I am the news". She also has a long-standing association with Dustin the Turkey.

Stamp
Marking RTÉ's 50th anniversary in 2011, Doyle became the first Wexford person to appear on a postage stamp during her lifetime.

Personal life
Following a 17-year relationship with an electrician which ended in August 1996, Doyle had a much publicised relationship with Jim McDaid (former Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation). She met McDaid at a function at New York in late 1997, and the relationship ended acrimoniously after about six months.

She has been in a relationship with restaurant owner, Dan McGrattan, since the beginning of the 2000s.

In February 2012, she came fifth in a poll to find Ireland's most desirable Valentines.
