What does the above mean??

Regarding the current proposal being discussed on the talk pages at WP:SCH. A Keep or Merge vote is being touted as a compromise that might get us out of school AFD hell. Presently people create school articles containing neutral, verifiable information and it is impossible to delete them, even though many have a desire to do so. Rather than striving for an impossible consensus to delete any given school article, it is preferable, and takes much less energy, to merge the text of the article into an article about a suitable habitation or administrative unit: a city, county or state, or a school district, either a local education authority or other school system. This should be done while taking care not to delete the information contained in the article.

How would this compromise work? One solution is to tag new school articles that are considered candidates for merging with a template such as the following, template:schoolzone, to warn those unfamiliar with the process from tagging it for AFD. This will also serve as a holding category and bring to attention schools that need to be merged or expanded.

Merging is appropriate if the school article is both below three sentences and lacks any sort of illustration, boxed info-template or picture. If the article is merged, the current location should be replaced by a redirect, and the edit history maintained for future use.

We now have an good chance to test this proposal since User:Bp28 has just created the school district page Lincoln Public Schools including new pages for all the middle schools and high schools in the district. Already four of the middle schools have been tagged for deletion by User:Luigi30. Do we really have the energy for 11 middle school AFD's? I have tagged the remaining schools with the schoolzone template in the hope it will prevent the others reaching AFD.

Above is a list of the schools and a description their current state.

Let's see how these grow over the next week and then discuss which ones if any are merge candidates after that period of time. This will be a useful exercise for several reasons:
 * 1) It will help convince those who wish to delete such articles that given a chance they will grow if less time is spent arguing in AFD.
 * 2) It will help determine what form a merge candidate will take.
 * 3) It will also help us reach a consensus of the type of school article that is worthy of being kept without merging.

I urge everyone here to participate in this project as an exercise in good faith. David D. (Talk) 00:42, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Smalahove

Smalahove (also called smalehovud, sau(d)ehau(d) or skjelte) is a Western Norwegian traditional dish made from a sheep's head, originally eaten before Christmas. The name of the dish comes from the combination of the Norwegian words hove and smale. Hove is a dialectal form of hovud, meaning "head" (cf. Hǫfuð), and smale is a word for sheep, so smalahove literally means "sheep head". The skin and fleece of the head are torched, the brain removed, and the head is salted, sometimes smoked, and dried. The head is boiled or steamed for about three hours, and served with mashed swede/rutabaga and potatoes. It is also traditionally served with akevitt. In some preparations, the brain is cooked inside the skull and then eaten with a spoon or fried. Originally, smalahove was typically eaten by the poor.

Traditional consumption
One serving usually consists of one half of a head. The ear and eye are normally eaten first, as they are the fattiest areas and are best eaten warm. The head is often eaten from the front to the back, working around the bones of the skull.

Legality
Since 1998 and the mad cow epidemics, an EU directive forbids the production of smalahove from adult sheep, due to fear of the possibility of transmission of scrapie, a deadly, degenerative prion disease of sheep and goats, though scrapie does not appear to be transmissible to humans. It is now allowed to be produced only from the heads of lambs.

Tourism
Smalahove is considered by most people to be unappealing or even repulsive. It is enjoyed mostly by enthusiasts, and is often served to tourists. Because of its status as an "extreme" food, tourists often seek it out as a thrill. Voss, Norway, in particular has benefited from tourists wishing to try it, "not only as a nostalgic and authentic rural dish, but also as a challenging culinary trophy appealing to thrill-seeking consumers."

Remove "non free content review"
Deprecated, I see no reason for this link to be kept here, could someone (perhaps ) reprogram the bot so that it won't add the link again? Lil Johnny (talk) (contribs) 05:34, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

 * populates that page, which is then transcluded here. Deleting it from that page won't do anything, since the bot will overwrite the whole page anyway.  I'm guessing you need to request that with Legobot's owner, .  I would agree this section is no longer needed.  Dennis Brown - 2¢ 13:38, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Bots noticeboard not working?
Bots/Noticeboard has 15 threads going on. This page says it has 0. Something is borked, possibly after the move request. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:19, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * According to the page histories Legobot stopped updating the entries on the Bot owners noticeboard in April 2017 when the noticeboard was moved from Bot owners' noticeboard to Bots/Noticeboard. Since nothing is changing at the redirect, Legobot is not updating the list. If no one objects I will change the name in the appropriate dashboard grouping at Dashboard/Administrative noticeboards to see if this works. It may be more complicated than this. StarryGrandma (talk) 18:58, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Looking at the Teahouse issue at the top of this page, this will not work. Any other ideas? StarryGrandma (talk) 19:09, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Bot section?
I think it would be best if bots got their own dedicated section here, which would cover

 * Bot requests
 * Bots/Requests for approval (first three sections + subsections) or alternatively BAG/Status
 * Bots/Noticeboard

Opinions? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:25, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer a "Technical" section which could include WP:VPT and other related links as well. ~ Rob 13 Talk 17:58, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It was one of the alternative I considered too. I've got no strong preference either way here. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:05, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Bot owners' noticeboard (0 threads) is already on there, look like it is broken/needs retargeting. — xaosflux  Talk 18:21, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd fixed it myself, but I can't make any sense of how these dashboards work. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:19, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Something on Toolforge was borked. It should begin working regularly now. Legoktm (talk) 18:29, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
 * still borked. Maybe will help? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:33, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * any update on this? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 16:43, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

The solution to this issue is to rewrite the entire dashboard using Lua, thereby making it reconfigurable without waiting for a bot to be amended and preventing dozens of unnecessary bot edits per day. I've converted the "Administrative noticeboards" section as an example at Special:PermaLink/911258827. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:32, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * well, that's certainly a solution. Thanks!   Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:48, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Could you have your bot stop updating Dashboard subpages so that the above code can be deployed. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:44, 2 November 2019 (UTC) * Pppery * it has begun... 01:51, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * – Legoktm hasn't replied to queries for years. What should be done here is likely request for Legobot to be specifically blocked from editing this page.   Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:29, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It would be hypocritical of me to do that, given that I opposed the introduction of partial blocks in the first place. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:49, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * any way you can partially block the bot here?   Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:08, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * If the community needs to this bot have changed, and the operator is unresponsive - please post at WP:BOTN. Bots that are operating out of control (this would include an operator not taking accountability for their edits) should be site blocked. —  xaosflux  Talk 20:15, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * really wouldn't want to see a nuclear option used when the scalpel is preferable. The other things aren't problematic, just this one.   Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:40, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Let's try a and see how that goes.   Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:41, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I Tried using back in August, and the bot didn't care. * Pppery * it has begun...  21:58, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Let's find us an admin willing to do a targeted block then. Are your templates ready to be deployed on all Dashboard subpages /sandboxed somewhere?   Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:59, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I've just converted each dashboard subpage to the Lua format. While the bot will revert me, the old revision can work as a demonstration that my code works. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:18, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The 'scapel' is fix the bot, and we wouldn't block the bot unless unless the discussion was at an impasse. PBlocks should not be used to manage bot tasks - and I haven't seen a proper discussion to escalate and attempt to resolve the requested change to the bot yet. —  xaosflux  Talk 22:07, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It's been over two years without a response from the bot op. How much longer should we wait?   Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 22:27, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll add that I also think a partial block would be the right solution here. The bot has been superseded by Pppery's module which is better than the bot in basically every way. Attempts to contact the botop has failed time and time again for years for various tasks, but I have just pinged, posted on their talk page and sent them an email in a final attempt to contact them. If they don't respond within a week I think we should implement the least disruptive solution still on the table and give the bot a partial block and be over with it. As this ultimately is a matter for BAG I have posted a notification on WP:BOTN. Trialpears (talk) 22:21, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * To follow up on my prior posting - if the bot is running without any op any more, it really should just be completely shut down. — xaosflux  Talk 23:31, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I hate to get bogged down in bureaucracy, but this really isn't the appropriate venue for deciding whether the bot should be blocked (partially or not). I'll transclude this section to BOTN to allow for continued discussion of the update, but also allow for location-appropriate discussion of Legobot. Primefac (talk) 02:15, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * A full block serves nothing. A partial block solves all current issues, without hampering what works. This is Wikipedia, not a 36 month-long commission to study a problem to propose a non-binding recommendation. Just fucking do it. It's been 3 years now.   Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 03:25, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

I disabled Legobot's dashboard task now, thanks Trialpears for the email. I'll comment on WP:BOTN about my (in)activity. Legoktm (talk) 06:01, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * And I've now converted the system to use the Lua module I wrote, and fixed both this problem and in the process. * Pppery * it has begun...  15:42, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

WP:IANB
I don't know how this system works, but someone might want to add the intadmin noticeboard. Natureium (talk) 22:14, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

 * This is maintained by a bot whose operator (re-pinging, since you failed to sign your post so your ping didn't go through) is not responding to requests to modify the bot, so this can't be done. I wrote a Lua module back in August that could replace the bot task, but the bot operator isn't even responding to requests to disable the bot task, and doesn't respect nobots, so I can't even deploy that Lua module. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:53, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Is there any way forward, or are we stuck with a zombie bot forever? 71.234.210.113 (talk) 18:01, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * and IP, I believe updating the dashboard is done by a cron job which runs Legobot on a schedule. Which pages to summarize are listed in the crontab file or files, not in the bot itself. I once ran into source code for the crontab somewhere while looking at the wikidata bots. RFCbot was the original updater, from 2009 to 2013. When that bot was retired Legobot took over. used to run RFCbot and may know how to approach this. StarryGrandma (talk) 01:55, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It's obvious that Legoktm could fix this, either by updating the code, or by disabling it entirely and allowing my Lua module to take over the task. The problem is that Legoktm is not responding to my request that one of those things happen (or any other queries about his bots), and his last 50 edits go back more than a year. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:23, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * We have partial blocks now. Perhaps we could block the bot from editing this one page to fix this specific issue? ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 21:21, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * See above, the idea of a partial block has already been considered and rejected for unclear reasons. * Pppery * it has begun...  21:51, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Broken parsing of section headings with templates
I've noticed there are multiple broken entries (one of them I "fixed" by editing the heading itself) that are caused by using template(s) in section headings.

For example, currently at D/AN, == personal attack and WP:Editwarring on Salford == is parsed and displayed as

where the outer wiki-link is broken and the only clickable links are from inside a template (in this case User). Could this be fixed somehow? —  DVRT ed (Talk) 19:37, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

That is from Dashboard/Relisted AfD debates and yes, it looks like it has a lower case "i" when it should be uppercase.

K.C. Jones

K.C. Jones (May 25, 1932 – December 25, 2020) was an American professional basketball player and coach. He is best known for his association with the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA), with whom he won 11 of his 12 NBA championships (eight as a player, two as an assistant coach, and two as a head coach). As a player, he is tied for third for most NBA championships in a career, and is one of three NBA players with an 8–0 record in NBA Finals series. He is the only African-American coach other than Bill Russell to have won multiple NBA championships. Jones was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1989.

Early life
Jones was born in Taylor, Texas, as the oldest of six children. The initials "K.C." were his given name; he inherited the same name as his father, a factory worker and cook, who himself was named after the fabled railroad engineer Casey Jones. When Jones was aged nine, his parents divorced and he moved to San Francisco, California, with his mother and two siblings. He learned to play basketball on a patch of gravel.

Jones attended Commerce High School in San Francisco where he played basketball and football.

College career
Jones played college basketball at the University of San Francisco and, along with Bill Russell, guided the Dons to NCAA championships in 1955 and 1956. During their time with the Dons, Russell and Jones led the team to a then-record 55-game win streak (including an undefeated 29–0 record during the 1955–56 season) and helped pioneer a play that later became known as the alley-oop.

Jones also played with Russell on the United States national team which won the gold medal at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia, while defeating their opponents by an unsurpassed average margin of 53.5 points per game.

After completing college and joining the NBA, Jones considered a career as an NFL player, even trying out for a team. However, he failed to make the cut.

Boston Celtics (1958–1967)
During his playing days, he was known as a tenacious defender. Jones spent all of his nine seasons in the NBA with the Boston Celtics, being part of eight championship teams from 1959 to 1966, retiring after the Celtics' loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1967 Eastern Division finals. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1989.

Jones is one of only eight players in basketball history to have won an NCAA championship, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal, joining Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Jerry Lucas, Clyde Lovellette, Quinn Buckner, and Anthony Davis. In NBA history, only his former teammates Russell (11 championships) and Sam Jones (10) have won more championships during their playing careers.

Coaching career
Jones began his coaching career at Brandeis University, serving as its head coach from 1967 to 1970. He served as an assistant coach at Harvard University from 1970 to 1971. Jones then reunited with former teammate Bill Sharman as the assistant coach for the 1971–72 NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers. During that season, the team won a record 33 straight games. He became the first-ever head coach of the ABA's San Diego Conquistadors on August 8, 1972.

One week after Jones' only season with the Conquistadors ended with his resignation, he signed a three‐year contract to succeed Gene Shue in a similar capacity with the Capital Bullets (name changed to Washington Bullets beginning in 1974–75) on June 18, 1973. During his three years in Washington, the Bullets had a 155–91 win‐loss record and arguably the most talented team in the league. Being swept by the Golden State Warriors in the 1975 NBA Finals and a seven-game loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals the following year resulted in Jones' contract not being renewed on May 7, 1976. He was replaced by Dick Motta three weeks later on May 28, 1976.

In 1983, Jones took over as head coach of the Boston Celtics, replacing Bill Fitch. Jones guided the Larry Bird-led Celtics to championships in 1984 and 1986. Also in 1986, Jones led the Eastern squad in the 1986 NBA All-Star Game in Dallas at the Reunion Arena, beating the Western squad 139–132. The Celtics won the Atlantic Division in all five of Jones's seasons as head coach and reached the NBA Finals in four of his five years as coach. In a surprise announcement, he retired after the 1987–88 season and was succeeded by assistant coach Jimmy Rodgers. Jones spent one season in the Celtics' front office in 1988–89, then resigned to join the Seattle SuperSonics as an assistant coach and basketball consultant for the 1989–90 season. He served as head coach of the Sonics in 1990–91 and 1991–92.

In 1994, Jones joined the Detroit Pistons as an assistant coach for one season. The Pistons' head coach at that time, Don Chaney, had previously played for Jones with the Celtics. Jones was also considered to once again coach the Celtics during the off-season in 1995. In 1996, Jones returned to the Boston Celtics, this time as an assistant coach for one season.

Jones returned to the professional coaching ranks in 1997, guiding the New England Blizzard of the fledgling women's American Basketball League (1996–1998) through its last $1 1/2$ seasons of existence. The Blizzard made the playoffs in his second year as head coach, but they were summarily dispatched by the San Jose Lasers.

Personal life
Jones married Beverly Cain – the sister of his Olympic teammate Carl Cain – in 1959; they had five children together before they divorced. He had a sixth child when he remarried to Ellen. His son, Kipper, played as a guard at Bentley College. His daughter, Bryna, received a basketball and volleyball scholarship to attend the University of Hawaii.

Death
Jones died on December 25, 2020, at an assisted living center in Connecticut, aged 88. He had Alzheimer's disease.

Prithvi Theatre

Prithvi Theatre is a theatre located in the upscale neighbourhood of Juhu, Mumbai. Prithviraj Kapoor the spearhead of one of the most influential actor and director families in Bollywood, the Kapoor family, founded the travelling theatre company 'Prithvi Theatres' in 1944 and the company ran for sixteen years. The theatre was built by Shashi Kapoor and his wife Jennifer in memory of Prithviraj, Shashi's father, who had dreamt of having a "home" for his repertory theatre company. It was designed by architect Ved Segan and opened in 1978. The building and running of the theatre was supervised by Jennifer until her death in 1984. Shashi Kapoor was the theatre's Managing Trustee and the daily affairs were looked after by trustee Kunal Kapoor with a small but efficient team.

Prithvi Theatre has shows everyday except Mondays and hosts an annual summertime programme of workshops and plays for children, the Memorial Concert on 28 February, an annual Theatre Festival in November, and many partnership programmes promoting language, poetry, international cinema & documentaries, and performing arts, which are free to the public.

History
Prithvi Theatre was founded in 1942, by Prithviraj Kapoor, as a travelling troupe with 150 members, which staged productions across India. Its maiden performance was Kalidasa's classic "Shakuntala". In subsequent years the theatre staged more than 2,600 plays such as "Deewar" (Wall), "Pathan" (a community comprising Hindus and Muslims of North India), "Ghaddar" (Traitor), "Aahuthi" (Offering), "Kalaakar" (Artist), "Paisa" (Money) and "Kisaan" (Farmer). Prithviraj starred as the lead actor in every show. His work in the Indian film industry funded the activities of the company

Prithviraj Kapoor's youngest son Shashi Kapoor, who had trained as an actor and director in the Prithvi Theatres, married Jennifer Kendal, daughter of Laura and Geoffrey Kendal, and the leading actress of their theatre company, Shakespearana. Shashi and Jennifer toured with both their parent’s companies – Prithvi Theatres and Shakespeareana, and shared a deep passion for theatre, and a great respect for Prithviraj's dream for Indian theatre.

Re-emergence

Prithviraj Kapoor’s dream was to have a permanent place for his theatre company. In 1962 he managed to lease a plot of land in Juhu on which to create a theatre space. Unfortunately his ill-health and subsequent death in 1972 delayed his dream turning into reality. The year he died the lease on the land expired and was offered on sale to his family. Shashi Kapoor and his wife Jennifer decided to make Prithviraj’s dream a reality by buying the land, and setting up the 'Shri Prithviraj Kapoor Memorial Trust & Research Foundation' in his memory with the intention of building a space to promote Hindi theatre and the performing arts.

Prithvi Theatre was inaugurated on 5 November 1978 in Mumbai. "Udhwastha Dharmashala", written by G P Deshpande, staged by Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri and Benjamin Gilani was Prithvi's first play. This was followed by a play by the Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA), a political satire, "Bakri", directed by actor-director M. S. Sathyu.

Theatre in Mumbai at the time was dominated by amateur English theatre of South Mumbai, Gujarati farce and low-key Marathi theatre in Dadar. Hindi theatre was at an all-time low with few venues available. Prithvi Theatre offered Hindi theatre an affordable platform where new styles and forms could be experimented with, a new exciting venue for the performers, directors, writers of theatre in the city, and creating a new audience for the genre.

The theatre's fifth anniversary in 1983 was celebrated with a festival to showcase the best of Prithvi, an event considered a success with audience and critics alike. By now the Prithvi Café, attached to the Theatre had become a well known meeting place for artists and art lovers.

Jennifer Kapoor, the driving strength, mentor and inspiration of Prithvi Theatre died on 7 September 1984. The theatre was not allowed to close on the day of her death, and the ‘show went on’ in true theatre tradition. Jennifer and Shashi's eldest son, Kunal Kapoor, with the help of Feroz Abbas Khan, took over the running of the theatre, and held a month-long Festival in February 1985 showcasing theatre from all over India. Ustad Zakir Hussain, of whom Jennifer was great fan, performed on her birthday, 28 February during the festival, along with Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. Ustad Zakir Hussain has continued to perform every year on this date at Prithvi – probably the only place where audience members can experience Indian classical music without amplification – in the classic style of a ‘baithak’ – as was traditionally performed.

In the 1990s, Jennifer’s daughter Sanjna Kapoor started to help her brother Kunal Kapoor in the running of the theatre and its various activities. Gradually, as she learned and grew with experience, she added a host of activities and workshops, ‘Prithvi Players’ and ‘Little Prithvi Players’ (Theatre for Children).

The Indian government issued a commemorative stamp in 1995 to mark 50 years of 'Prithvi Theatre'. In 2006, its annual festival celebrated the birth centenary of Prithviraj Kapoor, and was titled, "Kala Desh ki Sewa mein" (Art in service of the Nation).

Prithvi Theatre continues to flourish, providing a home for new talent and source of inspiration to the theatre fraternity and audience with over 540 shows a year, Tuesday through Sunday.

Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Restructuring

'''Speedy renaming has been implemented. See Categories for deletion policies.'''

Some people think that CfD is getting too large and unwieldy to be practical. Therefore, this page lists some proposals to alleviate that.

This is a proposed policy. This is currently open for discussion and revision. Please explain your reasoning for supporting or opposing (or abstaining). It is hoped that this process will lead to consensus; if not, a vote can be called at some point in the future.

See Wikipedia talk:Categories for deletion for discussions leading to creation of this poll.

This poll ran for a week and received significant attention from people who frequent CfD. As expected, some proposals met consensual support, and some did not. I believe it would be appropriate to start implementation of those that have, and will take care of that shortly. Consider this a test run; we can always work out the kinks at a later stage. Bear in mind that this is not official policy, it is merely a procedure to alleviate the editors' work. If it doesn't, we should change it.

=1.Categories for Renaming (withdrawn)= Proposal: a separate page 'CfR' should be created, that deals with requests for renaming categories. CfD should only deal with deleting categories.
 * Withdrawn (arguments moved to talk page)
 * See proposal #6 below.

=2A.Create subpages for CfD (superseded)= Proposal: just as VfD uses subpages for each individual discussion, and transcludes them into the main page for each day, so should CfD. This does not apply to CfR.
 * Superseded by 2C (arguments moved to talk page)

=2B.Subpages for CfR (withdrawn)= Proposal: (iff #1 passes and CfR is created) just as VfD uses subpages for each individual discussion, and transcludes them into the main page for each day, so should CfR. This does not apply to CfD.
 * Withdrawn (arguments moved to talk page)

=2C.Subpages by day (approved)= Proposal: (iff 2A fails) just as VfD uses subpages for each individual day, and transcludes them into the main page, so should CfD. Thus all CfD nominations created on the same day are listed together on one page.

 * Approved. I have asked User:AllyUnion to construct a bot to help here.

=3.Speedy renaming= Proposal: certain minor renaming issues for categories should not require voting, but can be done simply by being bold. Non-admins cannot rename cats, so they will still have to list them on CfD (or CfR) but they can be processed without delay, and removed once the process is complete.

Criteria for minor renaming are limited to: 1) typo fixes, 2) capitalization fixes, and 3) conversion to singular or plural.

The page Category renaming has been created to explicitly state the policy (including the 'merging' clause since it can be inferred from the original, and nobody requested it for a revote). Note that criterion #3 did not meet sufficient consensus, and is instead listed on Wikipedia talk:Category renaming for further discussion.

By its current wording, there is no delay required for speedy renaming (just as there isn't for speedy deletion; indeed, that was the point of speedy in the first place). The poll below shows some consensus to support this; if it seems impractical in the next couple weeks, we should change that.

Support

 * 1) Strongly support. There are too many of these listed on CfD which don't need to be. It just needlessly increases the size of the page. -Kbdank71 13:28, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Thryduulf 13:34, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Strongly support Kdbank has it right, I think VivaEmilyDavies 15:34, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Lochaber 15:51, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) gadfium 23:40, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 6)  Radiant_* 17:36, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Zzyzx11 | Talk 19:51, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Support for criterion 2 above, but not for 1 or 3. With criterion 3, there have been recent lengthy discussions on cfd relating to exactly which correct plural should be used for some categories. Would support criterion 1 iff it specifically excluded conversions related to regional spellings (whicht he disingenuous could otherwise pass off as "typos"). Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 02:30, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) Maurreen 07:53, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Support 1 and 2 but strong oppose 3; singular or plural possessive use can be difficult to sort out. --JuntungWu 15:06, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 11) Support 1 and 2, but not 3 (that part should be a part of the addendum below).  -Sean Curtin 20:50, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

Conditional Support

 * 1) See my comments at (3) above. Iff those conditions are met, I see a separate page as a reasonable idea, or - better still - if separate daily subpages are created, Candidates for Speedy Renaming could have their own single subpage of cfd. Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 23:43, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Weak oppose.  Some (very few) renames are redirected to something better than what the original poster suggested.  However, I think even those cases can be decided in two days. --ssd 05:10, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) The listing should be noted as a speedy candidate, and there should be a minimum 24 hr. listing, with deletion/renaming only if there are no objections. This criteria can only be used for true typos, and not for UK <-> US spelling changes.
 * With several people expressing objections to criteria #3 among the Support votes, and with some of the Comments suggesting conditional support, I am changing my vote to Oppose since I think that this proposal needs to be reworded and then revoted. Blank Verse   ∅   21:18, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment

 * I think that a template should be placed on the category pages involved with this to allow anyone to object if they want - similar to the for speedy deletions. Perhaps  . Thryduulf 13:34, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * If they are to be renamed without delay, will anyone have time to object? -Kbdank71 13:53, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * There will inevitably be some lag. If poeple are concerned then maybe a minium lag time (24/48 hours perhaps) could be introduced. If anyone does object it should immediately cease to be eligable for spped renaming and should go to a normal CfR (or CfD if #1 doesn't pass). Thryduulf 14:33, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I think this should echo the process for WP:CSD. There needs not be a minimum lag, as long as one person proposes the rename and another implements it. Articles are routinely 'rescued' from CSD and placed on regular VfD. The same would apply to CSR and CfR. Radiant_* 14:48, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * There's already a lag. According to the Categories for deletion policies, categories can be deleted after 2 days if there are no objections. This delay is to allow for objections over correct spelling, etc. to be made. However, that's for deletes.  I'll agree with Radiant! for renames.
 * Agree with Thryduulf. — Instantnood 14:21, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Question: Is there any case in which a category should be singular? Maurreen 04:48, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes. When it is about something rather than listing somethings. --ssd 05:10, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Care to propose changing Category:Italy to Category:Italies? :) Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 07:41, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Right. Category:Italy is about italy.  If there was more than one Italy, there should be a Category:Italies or something listing them.  Or a list page if there's just a few.  Or something like that. --ssd 00:29, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Merging
If a category qualifies for a 'speedy rename', and the name to which it should be renamed already exists, then the contents of the former should be added to the latter (a 'speedy merge'). Redirects from one cat to another do work (but if they are considered harmful, speedy deletion would be appropriate). This seems an obvious corrolary, comments welcome. If people are unsure, it can be added as proposal #7. Radiant_* 14:14, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with this. --Kbdank71 15:15, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * ditto. It makes perfect sense. Thryduulf 00:03, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

=4.Speedy renaming addendum= Proposal: (iff #3 passes) if the consensus decides on a naming standard for categories (such as Philosophers from Greece vs. Greek philosophers), violation of that standard will be added to the speedy renaming criteria.

Support

 * 1) Thryduulf 13:34, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Strongly support.  -Kbdank71 13:28, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Instantnood 14:21, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Strongly support VivaEmilyDavies 15:10, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) gadfium 23:40, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 6)  Radiant_* 17:36, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Iff a definite consensus has been reached.  -Sean Curtin 20:47, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

Conditional support

 * 1) As I said for #3, I think that there should be a 24 hr. waiting period before deletion/renaming. Category names should reflect Naming conventions, as well as Categorization (and the later article needs to be updated). Blank Verse   ∅   11:25, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Assuming all the comments above (2 day lag, maybe one day for previous consensus) and below (criteria for consensus) are taken into consideration. --ssd 05:14, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment
We need to be define where the consensus has to emerge. What counts as consensus?
 * The fact that there is a naming convention? - Definitely
 * The fact that CfR/CfD has had a thorough debate on it in the past - Slightly less definitely - CfR shouldn't become a back-street producer of naming conventions?
 * The fact that CfR/CfD has made a change of that type in the past (e.g. has, in a test case, said "X in Foo" is the correct format for something - thereafter "X in Foo" should be regarded as the correct format - without real debate, just saying "for consistency" without considering deeper reasoning) - Even less definitely
 * The fact that the overwhelming majority of subcategories of the parent category are in a particular form? - Dubious. It would cut down workload, but sometimes proposed changes in line with this don't actually get through CFD. The recent CFRs such as "People from the Philippines" to "Filipino people" apparently failing is a case in point - I wish that batch had gone through successfully, but the fact that it did provoke a debate (apparently for the first time) about how the subcategories of "People by nationality" should be listed, and only if debates like that get provoked is there logical argument about what should be the preferred style. If we accepted "well, 90% of categories like this are in a different form, so lets speedy this one" then that sort of debate - which may be positive and useful - will occur only when somebody nominates "majority" categories to turn into "minority" form, which frankly takes a lot of nerve even if the categorisation is clearly illogical and the result only of groupthink.

Here is a place where I would be prepared to draw a dividing line. Suppose e.g. there is a query about "Lamborgian cities" vs "Cities in Lamborg" vs "Cities of Lamborg". On CfR/CfD, one such instance is converted from a minority form ("of Foo") to a majority form ("in Foo"). This decision should then be posted in the talk page for Category:Cities by country. Thereafter, if "Category:Blibbian cities" is created, it can be put up for, say, (assuming  format). I think all such speedy CFRs should have a reference either to a naming convention or to a previous CFR decision, and the logical place to put the a reference-point to the latter is the parent category of the category where there has been a previous decision. VivaEmilyDavies 16:02, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Some excellent points here. I do believe that (iff #4 passes) all established naming conventions should be adopted for speedy renaming. For other cases I would prefer if it were discussed on a nearby talk page (or in the relevant root category). If such discussion has taken place earlier, it should be briefly re-opened to see if there are any objections to its adoption; there are expected to be none, but it serves to double check if the discussion reached consensus, or was simply abandoned. Radiant_* 20:43, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

 * If this is adopted, I'd prefer going with only standardized naming conventions spelled out in some guideline/policy/Wikiproject. Maurreen 06:03, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

=5.Remove consolidation of renaming (no consensus)= Proposal: Handle renamings on talk pages of individual categories. Do not consolidate. Do not maintain central list. (Exception could be made if controversy arises, along the lines of WP:RM.)
 * Did not meet consensus.(arguments moved to talk page)

=6.Separate page for speedy renaming (implemented for now)= Proposal: (iff 3 passes) Categories marked for speedy renaming should be put on a separate page (since arguably, anything listed here can be quickly taken out again, which is not the case for regular CfD). If a rename is contested or incorrectly put on speedy, it should be moved to the main CfD page.

 * Implemented as a transcluded page from CfD for now, for reason of consistency with the daily subpage per proposal 2C. This way, people with too much time on their hands can 'watch' this subpage. We'll see how it works out, consensus is a bit unclear because this proposal was added late in the voting process.

Support

 * 1) If this page is transcluded onto the main page, so that those interested in both can see both, and those not need not. Thryduulf 15:45, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Lochaber 09:23, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Radiant_* 09:49, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Kbdank71 14:41, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC) We can probably do the speedy renames just as easily via a new section at the bottom of CfD, as opposed to a different page.
 * 2) ssd 02:07, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC) I don't think there's so many renames that mixing them will be such a problem. Also, things that appear to be speedy renames frequently get better suggestions, and separating the pages will spread the places people have to read to make such suggestions.  Really, though, someone who does the cleanup job afterwards should comment in on this.
 * 3) *Things that are speedy renames should not frequently get better suggestions - that's the whole point of speedying them. Radiant_* 09:49, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree! But the problem is, when they get an objection, they obviously should not be on speedy rename.  Actually, I'd propose that only empty categories should get speedyed, except that then people would empty the categories before discussion.  Actually, they already do that, despite instructions not to. --11:56, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * But categories should not be emptied for renaming (only, potentially, for deletion, and this is not about speedy deletion of categories). Radiant_* 12:01, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Sean Curtin 22:39, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Comment

 * See my new comments under Criteria #3, Oppose. I personally think that Criteria #3 needs to be reworded and revoted BEFORE this criteria can be voted on. Blank Verse   ∅   21:20, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Robert Young Eaton

Robert Young Eaton (1875–1956), commonly known as R.Y. Eaton, was a Canadian businessman and a member of the prominent Eaton family. He was a nephew of Timothy Eaton, who established Eaton's department store.

Life and career
He was born in 1875 to John Eaton and his wife, Margaret Herbison. He was related to the founder of Eaton's department store, as they shared the same grandfather, John Eaton Sr. (1784–1834).

He took over control of the Eaton's store business after his cousin, Sir John Craig Eaton, died of pneumonia in 1922. Sir John's children were too young to run the company, so he filled in until one of the children reached an appropriate age to take over. He proved to be an extremely capable president, and he expanded the company tenfold.

His cousin-in-law, Lady Eaton, the widow of Sir John, never liked him. Throughout her life, she always referred to her branch of the family as the "owner Eatons" and his branch as the "worker Eatons". Lady Eaton's son, John David Eaton, eventually took over the presidency of the company at the age of 33, and R.Y. Eaton retired from business life.

He had a resort home named Ireton built in Port Credit, Ontario, and later in Georgian Bay. He also served as president of the Art Gallery of Ontario from 1924 to 1941.

Marriage and children
He married Hazel Ireland (1889–1965), and they had 5 children. His son John Wallace Eaton (1912–1990) worked at Eaton's and ran the Montreal store.

His son Captain Erskine Robert Eaton (1915–1942) graduated from the Royal Military College of Canada in 1934. At the outbreak of World War II, he was a member of the staff at Eaton's Montreal store. He died in the Dieppe Raid on August 19, 1942, at 27 years of age. His name is listed on the Memorial Arch at the Royal Military College of Canada.

Lantana (film)

Lantana is a 2001 Australian-German drama film, directed by Ray Lawrence and starring Anthony LaPaglia, Kerry Armstrong, Geoffrey Rush and Barbara Hershey. It is based on the play Speaking In Tongues by Andrew Bovell, which premiered at Sydney's Griffin Theatre Company. The film won seven AACTA Awards including Best Film and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Lantana is set in suburban Sydney and focuses on the complex relationships between the characters in the film. The central event of the film is the disappearance and death of a woman whose body is shown at the start of the film, but whose identity is not revealed until later. The film's name derives from the plant lantana, an invasive species of shrub prevalent in suburban Sydney, which is attractive on the surface but a tangle of dead wood on the inside. In the film it is a symbol of relationships, marriage in particular. Its tangled branches are a playground and shelter for children but a trap for adults.

Plot
A woman's body is shown in lantana bushes in suburban bushland.

Leon, a policeman, and Jane have sex in a motel. They part, and Leon and his wife, Sonja, attend Latin dance classes that the recently separated Jane is also taking. Leon does not enjoy the classes.

He savagely beats a drug dealer during an arrest. He has emotional issues but refuses to confront or admit to them, while Sonja sees a therapist, Valerie, who has published a book on her daughter's recent murder. She and her husband, John, barely speak; he refers to their marriage as surviving on their grief. Valerie feels threatened by another patient, Patrick, who is having an affair (with a married man by the name of Nik), forcing her to confront her marital issues.

Jane purposely encounters Leon outside his station, and they have sex despite his reservations. Nik is upset at the relationship because he is friends with her estranged husband, Pete, who wants to return home. Jane pairs with Sonja in the next salsa class, angering Leon, who ends their arrangement, upsetting Jane. She invites Nik for coffee at Paula's behest, his wife with whom she is friendly, and offers him money as they are struggling. Paula now starts disliking Jane.

Valerie, coming home late, crashes. Stranded, she calls John, unsuccessfully. She hails a vehicle but never makes it home. Leon is the investigating detective and searches her office. Surprised at seeing his wife's file, he takes a recording of their sessions, from which he learns that Sonja would not consider an affair a betrayal, but would if Leon didn't tell her. Leon arrives home late, but Sonja is awake. He asks her about her therapy. They discuss their relationship, and he says he just ended an affair but still loves her. Sonja is upset and feels betrayed.

Hamilton Disston

Hamilton Disston (August 23, 1844 – April 30, 1896) was an industrialist and real-estate developer who purchased 4 million acres (16,000 km²) of Florida land in 1881, an area larger than the state of Connecticut, and reportedly the most land ever purchased by a single person in world history. Disston was the son of Pennsylvania-based industrialist Henry Disston who formed Disston & Sons Saw Works, which Hamilton later ran and which was one of the largest saw manufacturing companies in the world.

Hamilton Disston's investment in the infrastructure of Florida spurred growth throughout the state. His related efforts to drain the Everglades triggered the state's first land boom with numerous towns and cities established through the area. Disston's land purchase and investments were directly responsible for creating or fostering the towns of Kissimmee, St. Cloud, Gulfport, Tarpon Springs, and indirectly aided the rapid growth of St. Petersburg, Florida. He furthermore oversaw the successful cultivation of rice and sugarcane near the Kissimmee area.

Although Disston's engineered canals aided water transport and steamboat traffic in Florida, he was ultimately unsuccessful in draining the Kissimmee River floodplain or lowering the surface water around Lake Okeechobee and in the Everglades. He was forced to sell much of his investments at a fraction of their original costs. However, his land purchase primed Florida's economy and allowed railroad magnates Henry Flagler and Henry Plant to build rail lines down the east coast of Florida, and another joining the west coast, which directly led to the domination of the tourist and citrus industries in Florida. Disston's immediate impact was in the Philadelphia area, where he was active in Republican politics and a philanthropist, but his legacy is often associated with the draining and development of Florida.

Early life and business
Hamilton Disston was born in Philadelphia, the eldest son of nine children born to Mary Steelman and Henry Disston, an English immigrant and descendant of French nobility. Disston's father was a successful industrialist who rose from being orphaned just days after arriving in the United States to running the Keystone Saw Works when Hamilton was a child. Henry Disston was responsible for multiple machining and saw patents, and in the spirit of Victorian-era paternalism, envisioned and engineered a community around his steel factory in Tacony, Pennsylvania. After attending public school, Hamilton left at 15 years old, opting for an apprenticeship at the saw factory which, by that time, was a $500,000-per-year international venture. His father threatened to fire him for repeatedly leaving the factory to work for a volunteer fire department. Hamilton twice joined the Union Army only to have Henry purchase his release, but Hamilton organized a company of saw factory employees during the Gettysburg Campaign. Henry finally agreed to support the "Disston Volunteers" financially.

After the American Civil War, Disston returned to work in his father's factory as an executive. In 1878, following the death of Henry Disston, Hamilton and his brothers Horace, William, and Jacob inherited the company which had been renamed to Henry Disston & Sons. Hamilton became the controlling member of the 2,000-employee company and expanded production to 1.4 million hacksaws and 3 million files per year. Only one month after Henry's death, Hamilton gave President Rutherford B. Hayes a tour of the factory where an unshaped piece of steel was manufactured into a 26 in hand saw in only 42 minutes, and was presented to the president at the end of the tour—etched with his name.

While the saw manufacturing business continued growing, Disston branched out, investing in a chemical firm, a Chinese railroad, real estate in Atlantic City, New Jersey and mining in the western United States.

Disston Land Purchase
In the 1840s and 1850s, the sparsely populated state of Florida came to own approximately 15000000 acre of mostly swamp land, granted by the U.S. Congress to states with wetlands for the purpose of reclaiming the land under water by constructing canals and levees. In Florida, consolidated grants for the purpose of building rail infrastructure and reclaiming wetlands were placed in a trust called the Internal Improvement Fund of the State of Florida (IIF). The trust fund was managed by the governor of Florida and four state officials. The fund pledged land to railroad companies and guaranteed bonds issued by the railroad companies on the land. When the high costs associated with the American Civil War and Reconstruction caused railroad companies to default on the bonds, the fund became liable and rapidly sank into debt and eventually into Federal Court receivership. By the time Governor George Franklin Drew took office in 1877, the fund was nearly $1 million in debt. The state constitution forbade issuing bonds to repay it; investors were not interested in Florida, no rail lines were built, and progress in the state stalled.

In 1877, diplomat Henry Shelton Sanford invited Disston, an avid sport fisherman, on a fishing trip through Florida. During the trip, Disston realized the possibility that enormous tracts of land could be reclaimed for agriculture by using canals to drain Florida's Lake Okeechobee.

An application for foreclosure of the IIF and its land was filed in federal court in 1880. Negotiations to relieve the debt were held with various potential investors, including Sanford and Alexander St. Clair-Abrams, but did not come to fruition. Disston and five associates, meanwhile, entered into a land reclamation contract with the Internal Improvement Fund in January 1881. The contract stipulated that Disston and associates would be deeded half of whatever land his Atlantic and Gulf Coast Canal and Okeechobee Land Company reclaimed around Lake Okeechobee, the Kissimmee, Caloosahatchee and Miami Rivers. Congressman and Disston family friend, William D. "Pig Iron" Kelley, described Disston's first contract: "He instituted broad preliminary investigations from which he received satisfactory reports; he surveyed the entire field of the proposed work, and with Napoleonic instinct and foresight saw in the proposition an opportunity to promote his country's welfare by the reclamation of a more than kingly domain.

Disston stood to gain up to 12000000 acre with his drainage contract, although it would displace numerous squatters. Florida's Armed Occupation Act of 1842 had granted land to squatters in order to force the local Seminole Indians off the land, but Disston's contract would force the squatters off any land that Disston could show was submerged. The drainage contract, however, was in jeopardy because it did not affect the massive debt bearing down on the Internal Improvement Fund. Court orders related to the debt threatened to derail the contract so Governor William D. Bloxham visited Disston in Philadelphia to persuade him to relieve the debt. During the visit, Disston tentatively agreed to purchase four million acres (16,000 km²) of Internal Improvement Fund land for 25 cents per acre, an agreement which became a formal contract on June 1, 1881. Disston signed the contract on June 14, and The New York Times described the transaction with, "What is claimed to be the largest purchase of land ever made by a single person in the world". It made him the largest landowner in the United States. On December 17, 1881, Disston sold two million acres (8,000 km²) of his land to English Member of Parliament, Sir Edward James Reed, for $600,000.

Promotion and politics

While some in Florida disapproved of the sale for giving away the land too cheaply, it had positive effects. In the four years following Disston's purchase, four times as many rail lines were added than the 20 preceding years. Land sales multiplied six times after the sale and the state's taxable property value doubled. Around 150,000 tourists came to Florida during the winter of 1884 alone.

To lure people to Florida, Disston opened real estate offices across America as well as England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Denmark. He promoted himself as owning two-thirds of the entire state. These efforts drew people to the Orlando area; and the major cities of Sarasota and Naples, Florida grew out of land sold by Disston. Fort Myers became the base of his Caloosahatchee River dredging efforts and its population rapidly increased. Disston's headquarters were on the shores of Lake Tohopekaliga and became the city of Kissimmee.

Disston "recreationed" in politics, starting as early as 1876 in local issues. He and three other industrialists in Philadelphia—James McManes, William Leeds, and David Lane— were known as the "Big Four", controlling Republican nominations and appointments to city positions in a machine system until new political bosses replaced them in 1890. His wealth allowed him to associate with tycoons and political celebrities, and he was often sought after to advise politicians though he refused to run for office. He publicly supported future president Benjamin Harrison, Congressman William D. Kelley, and political boss Matthew Quay.

In 1883, he arranged for President Chester A. Arthur, a fellow Republican, to take a fishing trip to Kissimmee as part of a large publicity campaign for the city. Disston founded a 20000 acre sugarcane plantation, out of which sprang the city of St. Cloud. Refineries for the plantation were constructed in Kissimmee and near Lake Okeechobee.

The key to Disston's Florida plans was a massive dredging effort to drain the Kissimmee River floodplain that flows into Lake Okeechobee, to remove the surface water in the Everglades and the surrounding lands regardless of season. The canals were engineered to guide the overflow of Lake Okeechobee into the St. Lucie River and then into the Atlantic Ocean in the east; the Caloosahatchee River overflow was directed to the Gulf of Mexico in the west, and eventually canals were to be constructed south through the Everglades. Disston was advised to begin with a large canal connecting Lake Okeechobee with the St. Lucie but the prohibitive costs forced him to begin with smaller dredging operations to straighten the Kissimmee River and to connect Lake Okeechobee with the Caloosahatchee. Dredging commenced around Lake Okeechobee during the winter of 1881–1882. In June 1883, a report concluded that the Kissimmee valley was indeed drying up as Disston planned, and another report a year later reported further drainage with nearly 3000000 acre of reclaimed land credited to Disston.

Disston City
In addition to dredging, Disston's plans included the creation of a major city in the Tampa Bay area to rival the budding city of Tampa. By 1884, he established the Lake Butler Villa Company, one of four land companies he operated. Disston founded the town of Tarpon Springs, much of which was built by Lake Butler Villa Company, including a commercial pier and two hotels, using lumber from his sawmill in Atlantic City, New Jersey. After deciding that Tarpon Springs would not become the metropolis he hoped, Disston shifted his efforts south and established a town he called Disston City. He invested heavily in steamboats and built a wharf, a school, and the area's first hotel. In 1885, a doctor from Maryland declared the area to be the healthiest in the world, which drew many investors and developers including F.A. Davis, who partnered with Disston's brother Jacob in further developing the Pinellas peninsula, where Pinellas County was established.

In the mid-1880s, Russian developer Peter Demens was building the Orange Belt Railway across central Florida with a planned western terminus in the Tampa Bay area. On December 1, 1886, Disston offered Demens approximately 60000 acre of land to stretch his railroad to Disston City. Demens countered with a demand of an additional 50000 acre, but Disston refused, mistakenly believing that Disston City would thrive if the railroad merely came close to the area. Instead Demens terminated his railway at St. Petersburg, which he named after Saint Petersburg, his home city in Russia. While Disston City never met Disston's expectations and became the small city of Gulfport, St. Petersburg reaped the rewards of Demens's railway and became one of the larger cities in Florida.

Disappointment
Disston's success at draining peninsular Florida quickly turned to disappointment. The positive report of his drainage results in 1883 was followed by a dreadful report in 1887. While it still credited Disston with draining parts of the upper Kissimmee valley, it credited a drought with drying the area north of Lake Okeechobee. Meanwhile, Lake Okeechobee—which typically rises and falls seasonally, and is affected by the frequent flooding and droughts associate with the Florida climate—was inundated despite Disston's canals, and the only canal out of the lake that Disston actually completed resulted in the Caloosahatchee River flooding the surrounding area. Furthermore, Disston's planned canals to the east and south out of Lake Okeechobee had not materialized.

The 1887 commission concluded that Disston had received 1200000 acre which he had not earned. Disston, however, reached a compromise whereby he would keep land that he had been given in return for spending $200,000 to improve drainage including improving the flow of the canals he had already dug. In total, he dug over 80 mi of canals and received 1600000 acre of land under the terms of his first drainage contract of January 1881. Although he never finished his canal plans for Lake Okeechobee, and the Everglades remained relatively unaffected by the structures intended to drain them, he formally was credited with reclaiming large portions of land and generally improving the drainage of peninsular Florida.

Regardless of the lack of success in Disston's canals, the money he paid to the Internal Improvement Fund allowed other industrialists to take an interest in the development of Florida. In the early 1880s, railroad tycoon Henry Morrison Flagler spent a vacation in the town of St. Augustine, a brief distance south of Jacksonville, and, enchanted with it, decided to build an opulent hotel there. He extended the rail line—renaming it the Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Indian River Railway—to Daytona Beach, and then to Palm Beach. As the railroad was built, citrus farms followed, and Flagler constructed hotels down the east coast, envisioning a version of the French Riviera in Florida. A friendly competition developed between Flagler and another railroad magnate named Henry Bradley Plant. While Flagler oversaw the construction of rail lines and hotels along the east coast, Plant concentrated on extending the railroad from Sanford to Tampa, crossing the state and connecting the coasts. At the terminus of this line he built the exquisite Tampa Bay Hotel, opened in 1891.

Death
Disston himself continued living in Disston City until more bad fortune prompted his return to Philadelphia. The financial Panic of 1893, the Wilson–Gorman Tariff Act of 1894 and two devastating freezes (see Great Freeze for details) caused financial difficulties and he mortgaged his Florida assets for $2 million.

On April 30, 1896, Disston had dinner with the mayor of Philadelphia and attended a theatre production with his wife in Philadelphia. The following morning, he was found dead at age 51. Although some claim that Disston committed suicide in his bathtub with a self-inflicted gunshot to the head, almost every obituary, as well as the official coroner's report, stated that he died of heart disease in bed. The New York Times further reported that, several months before his death, Disston suffered from a bout of typhoid pneumonia.

He was poignantly mourned in Philadelphia as a benevolent employer of over 3,000 and a rare businessman who treated his employees exceptionally well. The Chicago Tribune wrote that he was "peculiar in his ideas. His hand was always in his pocket and his influence always for his less successful fellow-men to whom he took a fancy." He was reported in 1889 to give $17,000 in Christmas gifts to his employees. His philanthropy branched out in other areas as well. In 1882 he sponsored the immigration of approximately 40 or 50 Russian Jewish families and purchased homes for them, assuring they would settle in Pennsylvania.

At the time of his death, Disston's estate was valued at $69,000. but he also carried a $1 million life insurance policy, the second largest in the United States. His family had no interest in Florida and creditors foreclosed on his Florida mortgage four years after his death. Henry Flagler's railroad reached a settlement of a little more than 500 people named Miami the year Disston died.

He was interred at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia.

Personal
Disston was married with a son and two daughters, all of whom survived him. He was a Presbyterian and a Mason. He was described as a fun-loving socialite as evidenced by a yacht he owned named Mischief. He also was known as a hard-working executive whose gentle facial features were balanced with intense eyes described by one reporter as: "like that of the great eagle in the cage at the Tampa Bay Hotel, that can look straight at the sun without a tear, or even a blink."

My dog eats lantana...
Last summer, I grew three different colors of Lantana in my flower garden. We could not keep the dogs out of it. They at the flowers and the berries. Are they not poisinous to dogs? Can any one answer this for me??? oakmoon54@yahoo.com
 * The green berries are poisinous until they ripen and turn blue-black; the plant does have medicinal uses, though I haven't tracked them down yet. Your dogs may need de-worming or a dietary supplement they aren't getting from their food; check with your vet. Shir-El too 15:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Lantana is considered a noxious weed in Australia (thus the movie title, although I won't try to explain that here because I can't) But generally, in Australia, Lantana is "bad". Yes, it grows into HUGE thickets of skin-ripping thorny stuff. I think it's poisonous to cattle too. Once you've got a giant patch of Lantana "down the bottom paddock" then the cute little flowers ain't so cute!

Poisonous ?
As a kid I used to eat the lantana berries all the time (after they turned black). They are quite insubstantial, but sweet. As far as I know, the native people in India (Adivasi) do not consider this fruit to be poisonous. Can the person who said they are poisonous cross check his source please?

How poisinous are the berries?
I just had a few berries and I wondered if they were poisinous or not. So I looked it up on here and it says they're "posinous". But does that mean they're stomach churning, throwing-up, or being hospitalized. Or is it none of these and edible. Could someone please answer please.

 * Again: the green berries are poisinous until they ripen and turn blue-black; the plant does have medicinal uses, though I haven't tracked them down yet. Google it. Shir-El too 15:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

dead heading lantana?
Should one dead head lantana? Does removing the berries cause more flowers to come? Thank you!

my dog eats lantana
my dog, also, eats lantana, but not the berries, she eats the flowers. i figure if it doesn't kill the birds, bees or butterflies then she should be fine.Branchl5 01:31, 29 June 2007 (UTC) branchl5

Lantana indica Roxb.
Lantana indica Roxb. is a native plant found in mid-altitudes (800 - 1500 metres ASL) of India. The bracts are larger and conspicuous covering 3/4th of the fruit. The leaves are less-scrabrous when compared to Lantana camara. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam nmk (talk • contribs) 07:51, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

La Cité de l'Énergie

La Cite de l'Énergie (French for the city of energy) is a theme park based on local industrial history and located in Shawinigan, Quebec, Canada.

Facilities

 * A science centre, which includes a 115 m high observation tower and features a multimedia show as well as a permanent interactive exhibit. The lattice tower consists of a dismantled electricity pylon used for a temporary power line crossing of Saint Lawrence River between Grondines and Lotbinière, during the construction of the tunnel used to ultimately carry the Quebec - New England Transmission line.

 * A Historical sector, which consists of two power plants, Northern Aluminum Company (NAC) and Shawinigan 2, and the ruins of a third one (Alcan 16), as well as an electricity distribution station and an aluminium smelter.

The NAC plant (built circa 1906) was privately owned by Alcan and used for its fabrication of aluminium. It had become obsolete by the early 1950s and is now out of production. It is open to visitors.

Shawinigan 2 was established in 1911 and enlarged in 1928 by the Shawinigan Water & Power Company and has been operated by Hydro-Québec since 1963. The structure was erected in the Renaissance and Art Deco architectural styles. The machinery consists of five generators activated by horizontal turbines and three generators activated by vertical turbines.

Management
La Cité de l'Énergie is administered by a non-profit organization, whose funders are Abitibi-Consolidated, Alcan, Hydro-Québec and the City of Shawinigan.

Robert Trudel has been the general manager and the main spokesperson for La Cité de l'Énergie, since its foundation.

Impact on local tourism
Since it opened in 1997, La Cité de l'Énergie attracted hundreds of thousands of paying visitors. The park is generally open to the public each year from June to September; and to groups during other times of the year.
