Talk:Peugeot

Automobiles PEUGEOT
Automobiles PEUGEOT is the brand under which P.S.A. sells Peugeot motor vehicles. PEUGEOT SA is not a subsidiary of PSA PEUGEOT CITROEN, the relationship is the otherway around.

Automobiles PEUGEOT is a subsidiary of P.S.A. in the same way that Automobiles CITROEN is a subsidiary of P.S.A. both of the commercial entities buy their vehicles from the manufacturing company PSA-PEUGEOT-CITROEN which is also a subholding of P.S.A (Check out the annual report of PSA for a full map outlining all of the different relationships for the consolidated accounts : )Madmannimann (talk) 22:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)madmannimannMadmannimann (talk) 22:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Peugeot is a range of cars produced by PSA Peugeot Citroën, also known officially as Peugeot SA (that's why it is called PSA). This article should be about the Peugeot products, not the PSA holding company. Some editing is needed in the 1980s and on history to move holding company information to PSA, and keep this article focussed on Peugeot products. Warren (talk) 11:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

About the '0'
Here are some pictures of old models, to complete the explanation for the central '0' that would have been made for the starting handle:

We can clearly see that the hole is not in the model plate

Here we see that the '0' is used for both model number and as an hole

Pronunciation
Currently on the article: « The common French pronunciation of "Peugeot" is "POOzho" (IPA 'puːʒʊ). »

Not at all, I never heard any French speaker use this pronunciation. It is 'pø:ʒo (using IPA characters commonly used in French; I do not know what "ʊ" should sound like).

I do not know how to translate the "ø" in English-like ("U" ?), that's why I post this here rather than editing the article (I'll edit it anyway in few days if I do not get any reply here).

Antp 15:51, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think it's pronounced "Per-zhou" (zhou sounding like joe but without the soft "G") in French. In Australia, we pronounce it like that, occasionally with the normal "J" sound.
 * Nope, the way it's pronounced in French is the way it currently says in the article. I've heard it many times.  --Jamieli 12:36, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Could anyone record how to pronounce Peugeot in French and English please.
 * Here is a recording of the French version: peugeot.wav
 * My microphone does not seem to work very well when recording, thought it works well with Skype. The "g" may sound a little :like a "z" in this recording, but it should not. -- Antp 21:54, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I updated the pronunciation sections. I removed the Danish and Greek pronunciations. This is an article written in English about a French car company. French and English are the only pronunciations needed. If we added in other pronunciations, the page would never end. Someone had added an American pronunciation "poo-got", but I removed this. I'm sure there are some people who might say this, but this would definitely be considered "incorrect", in the sense that if a person were to say that, someone would surely correct them. It would be the equivalent of pronouncing the "t" in "Chevrolet" - I'm sure it's been done, but no one would say that's the usual or "correct" pronunciation. Also, the French pronunciation should be correct now (I edited it earlier), but let me know if anything seems wrong with it. --SameerKhan 02:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Malta Poo Goo?
I'm maltese and only the illiterate pronounce it 'poo goo'! for god's sake! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.203.47.66 (talk) 19:36, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Update
A few months ago, I added the a roughly correct pronunciation (] - roughly 'PER-zho') but this was "corrected" to [puː'ʒoʊ] ('poo-ZHO'). Peugeot is a French car company, so the IPA should reflect the original, true pronunciation, which would be ['pø:ʒo].

It turns out that, apparently, in the US, they pronounce it "poo-ZHO". In addition, in other countries it can be pronounced 'PYOO-zho' and 'PEZ-zo' and many more but there's no need to add these ones. Unless someone wants to make a table of how the word "Peugeot" is pronounced in different countries..?

In summary, I - like SameerKhan above - think the various countries' pronunciations ('poo-ZHO', 'PYOO-zho', 'PEZ-zo' etc.) should be omitted and then either the standardised pronunciation of 'PER-zho' ['pɜːʒəʊ] or the original French of ['pø:ʒo] should be used. Please discuss it here before changing anything on the article.IndieSinger (talk) 09:44, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

 * How about we start the article with Peugeot (France: /'pø:ʒo/, UK: /'pɜːʒəʊ/, US: /puː'ʒoʊ/... IndieSinger (talk) 20:54, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth in this discussion, I'll point out that French is, by linguistic definition, an END-STRESSED language. All words in standard French have their stress at the END.  Many words get borrowed into English, where their pronunciation is altered.  This is extremely notable in British and Commonwealth English (except for North America, generally).  So, French words like ga-TEAU, Pa-REE (Paris), sa-CHET, buff-ET, ball-ET etc, get altered to GA-teau, PA-ris, SA-chet, BUF-fet, BALL-et, especially in Britain. This is how names from French got Anglicized -- ma-RIE becoming MA-ry, and ber-NARD becoming BER-nard in England.  The problem is that tonation is often mistaken for stress.  All languages have certain "sing-song" qualities, and the French will often make their first syllable slightly higher in tone;  however, this is NOT the same thing as "stress", in linguistic terms.  French is an END-STRESSED language, even if they "sing" the first syllable a little bit. So, the stress in "Peugeot" should rightly be placed at the END.

 * Also, British speakers will insert a rhotic "r" in some borrowings where the vowel sound is somewhat constricted in a foreign language. In other words, sticking an "r" sound into Peugeot to get PUR-zho, because French "eu" is very tightly constricted and not natural to English speakers.  Ask a British person to pronounce a modern made-up word like "banana-y" (meaning, it looks or tastes like banana).  They'll say something very much like "bananary", adding a slight hard "r", because the vowels don't follow normal English patterns.  North Americans will say something much more like "banana-ee".  I'm not implying that one is better than the other -- this is simply about recognizable linguistic trends.

 * So, neither British PUR-zho nor North American poo-ZHO is really right. In standard French, the pronunciation really should be somewhat closer to "poo-ZHO", except that the "poo" syllable should be very short, closer to the word "put", not an actual "oo" sound.
 * Your best bet is to offer the true French IPA, ['pø:ʒo], and not try to influence people to one variant of pronunciation or another.   91.105.54.35 (talk) 18:22, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for that. As stated above, I realise the French pronunciation is [pø:ʒo]. And I also realise that neither the British, US or any other nation's efforts are "really right". However, I'm wondering whether it's prudent to include the UK and the US approximations as that is how they are said in those countries? Even though it's not the original pronunciation.

 * My point, I suppose, boils down to this. Do we start the article like this:

 * Peugeot (pronounced /ˌpø:'ʒo/ (≈ pər-ZHOH)) is a major...

 * ... or do we start the article like this:

 * Peugeot (France: /'pø:ʒo/, UK: /'pɜːʒəʊ/, US: /puː'ʒoʊ/) is a major...

 * And if we go with the first option, should other pronunciations be included somewhere in the text? IndieSinger (talk) 19:05, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I see no reason not to include the French pron as well. After all we have the German pron of Volkswagen.  It doesn't have to go in the lead - it could go further down or in a footnote. Lfh (talk) 12:54, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Now I've added the French. If someone wants to add the US English // as well, that's fine. Lfh (talk) 10:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Many years ago an announcer on the (English-language) Welsh TV used to pronounce it "Pugh joe". However these days most British people pronounce it as described in the article. Similarly, Renault used to be pronounced to rhyme with "vault" but that has gone away too. 87.115.205.151 (talk) 00:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Why is the UK pronunciation including an r in the ipa transcription? Surely the r is not pronounced as RP is non-rhotic, and this isn't a case of an intrusive/linking r type situation.99.236.215.170 (talk) 20:25, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

 * I am British and I can tell you that it is only the English that add the 'r'. In Scotland Peugeot is pronounced the French way (without any 'r').  I can not speak for Wales.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.216.134.196 (talk) 13:55, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * And yet, you're not adding an R *sound*, as RP is non-rhotic. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still confused over the difference between /ɜː/ and /ɜːr/ and in RP it seems as if there is really no difference in pronunciation at all other than that it is to be transcribed as /ɜːr/ if and only if (1) the vowel is at the end of a word and subject to intrusive or linking r, OR (2) in the middle of a word and GA would pronounce the same word with an R sound? Shiggity (talk) 22:10, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Apparently, North Africans whose first langauge is Arabic, including some living in France, sometimes pronounce it pi-zho (supposedly because the "eu" sound does not exist in North African Arabic). Acwilson9 (talk) 08:03, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

307 LX UK cars converted from Europe's stock
The front screen wipers for the 307 LX is badly designed for UK users. The driver side wiper cannot reach close to the edge of the screen and leaves quite a big area unclear during driving in a rainy or snowy day. The blocked area is measured about 5 inches from the side and 7-8 inches from the top. The wiper on the driver side is shorter than the one on the left thus the passenager side can have a better view than the driver. Driver of this model has to move to the centre while driving in a bad weather, it is very dangerous and uncomfortable. It is redicious for Peugeot to sell problematic car by ignoring the safety and comfortableness issues.

Having written to complain (email) about the faulty design, the response is that the design was under the safety regulation with 80% visible area. However, the 80% visible area is on the passenger side. Having raised this issue with the Peugeot dealer, Belmont, staff agreed that this model was converted from European stock. It is impossible to change the front screen wipers. This is the way it is!

Can anyone comment on this? Is it common for car manufacturers to convert European cars for use in UK can without thorough thinking? What is the customers right after purchase?

Comment on above issue: The earlier versions of the 307 was designed with a single mechanism for both RHD and LHD versions, the screen does provide enough coverage when wiped for a RHD model, and the explanation given by the dealership is mis-leading. The vehicle was designed this way and it is not a conversion from "European Stock". If you want to know a little more try "info@peugeot.com" (my old email address in a former life in Paris) All complaints about this in 2004 were sent to the engineering team for analysis for the facelift (T-6), including the video of a 307 being driven round Tokyo in the rain.

Edit in model numbers
I'd like to know why the following was removed by Arpingstone from the "model numbers" chapter:

 * But the real first models (like the 301, 401 and 601) were not using this "trick". Only later models, like 302 and 402, have this feature.

As it was an indication about the fact that this story about the 0 used first for the staring handle was in fact more an urban legend.

Antp 21:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Simple! I couldn't understand what was being said so, rather than have that para look amateur, I removed it. You are perfectly welcome to put it back if you can make what it says understandable - Adrian Pingstone 14:34, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I am not a native English speaker, so I cannot do a much better sentence, sorry. I mean that the first Peugeot models with a 0 in their name (301, 401, 601) did not have the starting handle hole in the "0", unlike the 302 and 402 (which are newer models). So model numbers with a 0 in the middle were not chosed for this purpose (see the pictures that I posted above). Antp 14:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Funny! I could understand perfectly what user Antp was refering to.
 * BTW, User Pingstone could bring his (sort of arrogant) speech down a notch. This is supposed to be a work of good will. Most of us don't use English as first language and we may make a mess of things at time. It doesn't mean we don't try our best. Neither does it mean that we mind being corrected for our mistakes.
 * What i really don't like is the sort of snob attitude emplied in some answers. Southwestsoul (talk) 16:35, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Add the mopeds!
Peugeot used 101,102, and 103 for their models of mopeds from 1960s through the 1990s! Please add this! It's funny and interesting that they continued to 104 as a car! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.215.140.12 (talk) 03:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

Chrysler Europe
I deleted the following: "Unlike Citroën, Chrysler Europe had no current designs and its factories were worn out."

I can't speak definitively to Chrysler Europe's facilities; I also doubt anyone can cite a reliable source that describes their condition in 1978. However, how could Chrysler Europe have "no" current designs when the Horizon was introduced in 1978, the same year Peugeot took over? "Current" is something of a subjective term, but surely a basically all-new vehicle which won the Car of the Yearin 1979 would be current in 1978.

C'est l'hemi?
Can anybody substantiate something? I've heard the 345 hemi design went to Simca & was built in Europe for years, including in tank/armored car engines, then ended up in Brazil as a 137ci. True? Include it? Trekphiler (talk) 13:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Really old cars
Thankfully enough, the large number of historic Peugeot models (from 1889 to 1944) have their links all properly categorized. That may not be very helpful anyway, since some of the models are merely different bodywork of the same essential car and don't deserve their own page. However, few of the Peugeot cars of this era have articles at all, and the ones that do are all towards the end of the period. My interest in Peugeot is limited and my experience nonexistent; but I do hate that big sea of red that accompanies a timeline full of links with no articles behind them. I've already made small entries for the Type 3 and the Type 54 and hopefully others will be interested in filling in the gaps and making an appropriate article or section of an article for each model.

Salt production? (Grinders, and other kitchen- and table-service tools)
"In 1842 they started production of coffee, pepper, salt and grinders.[2]" Is this phrase accurate? --Southwestsoul (talk) 16:44, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * No, it should certainly be 'production of coffee, pepper and salt grinders.'. Fixed. (They still make salt and pepper grinders, that are of very good quality.) Popup (talk) 12:18, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Wondering why the article doesn't mention the fact that they still make these grinders and other kitchen equipment. Certainly not a huge part of the business, but it would seem to deserve some kind of mention in a small sub-heading.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.141.163.193 (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

 * I added the section Peugeot. The current fr:Peugeot Saveurs firm does not currently have its own Wikipedia article in English.  (I myself do not currently have the time to translate the French article.)  Peugeot Saveurs still makes and markets coffee grinders, pepper & salt grinders, and other kitchen and table-service equipment, and is still controlled and majority owned by the fr:Famille Peugeot family.  (At one time, the Peugeot family business(es) also manufactured other hand tools, such as pliers and saws; radios; sewing machines; etc.)

 * This present Peugeot article starts out discussing the full range of 19th-century Peugeot industrial production, but then confines itself to just the 20th- and 21st-century Peugeot cars and trucks. The problem with this structure is that the Peugeot automobile/truck brand is now a combination with Citroen, Opel, Vauxhaul, Fiat, Chrysler, etc. (fr:Stellantis, previously fr:Groupe PSA), and is no longer solely associated with the Peugeot family (although they have about 7% of the shares and a family member on the board of directors, as of January 2021).  In 2019, Groupe PSA sold off its remaining interest in the Peugeot Motocycles motorcycle-moped brand-name.  And, the Cycles Peugeot bicycle brand-name was sold off to unrelated companies years ago (just like the Schwinn, Raleigh USA, and Raleigh Canada bicycle brand-names were in N. America). This is all much clearer in the more complete set of French Wikipedia articles about the Peugeot family and the firms founded and owned by them.  Acwilson9 (talk) 22:52, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Peugeot company structure
This article says Peugeot is officially Peugeot S.A. in the infobox and "Peugeot is a major French car brand, part of PSA Peugeot Citroën"  and "Parent :	PSA Peugeot Citroën"   the PSA article says "PSA Peugeot Citroën (officially Peugeot S.A.)" so which one is correct? this needs to be clarified somehow. -- >Typ932 T·C 12:58, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

 * This conversation is also at the top of the talk page. According to the company's registration document: The name “PSA Peugeot Citroën” refers to the entire Group of companies owned by the Peugeot S.A. holding company  and interestingly was incorporated in 1896. In 1998 PSA transferred all development and manufacturing assets from Automobiles Peugeot and Automobiles Citroën to Peugeot Citroën Automobiles SA. I shall update the infobox and intro paragraph to suit. See page 90 of the registration document for a full breakdown of the company structure. Warren (talk) 13:47, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Lost and founders
I just noticed: there are multiple dates of "founding". As I understand the term, "founding" happens only once. After that, it's adding a division or new business, not creating an entirely new company. Thus, multiple "founded" is out of place. Beyond that, it's cluttering the infobox for no reason; the explanation belongs in the text. Absent objections, I intend to delete.

Peugeot re-entry into North American market
Okay so apparently I made an edit that Peugeot was entering the United States and Canada markets in 2023, which is actually true. The problem: a user reverted my contributions with a supposedly invalid summary that this is not a "crystalball" per wp:not. It is true, Peugeot will enter the us and Canadian markets in 2023 and even reliable sources like cnbc have reported on this reentry into the north American markets.

A Brief Biography
Easier Rhino grew up in a small town in the west of the East Coast, where he learned to play Bocce at an early age to fool people into thinking he was a professional bowler. He left his home to go to the seminary, and after he flunked out he was given his papal vestments, a faceful of mud and gluten, and a sharp blow to the head. Vatican City officials deny his existence, but that just makes him mad. And not mad as in angry.

A Brief Technical Schematic
Pope Easier Rhino I contains all the assorted parts a human should contain plus several organs that have yet to be explored. Proceeding from the mouth, one can continue down into the stomach and then out into the left trouser pocket, where one might find loose change or lint. The ears are especially atuned to heresy, and the eyes are ever watchful for sinners. But as the brain, the control center of the whole outfit, doesn't know what either heresy or sinners are, the hands are usually waving about wildly in an attempt to orient the body, which is removed for maintenance purposes every night.

University of Putra Malaysia

University of Putra Malaysia (Malay: Universiti Putra Malaysia), abbreviated as UPM, is a Malaysian public research university located in Serdang, Selangor. Formerly it was named Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (Agricultural University of Malaysia), focusing on agricultural sciences and related fields. Since the 1990s, the fields of study have expanded to include human ecology, languages, architecture, medicine, computer science and biotechnology. Currently there are 15 faculties, 11 institutes and 2 schools covering these as well as agriculture, forestry, veterinary medicine, economics, engineering, sciences, and education.

UPM has been recognised as a research university since 2006, one of five present in Malaysia. In 2010, self-accreditation status was awarded by Malaysian Qualifications Agency to simplify the procedure of accrediting academic programs, strengthening its own Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) system to compete among local universities.

It is ranked 148th in the world in 2025 by Quacquarelli Symonds, 33rd among Asian universities and the 4th best university in Malaysia. In the Integrated Rating of Malaysian Institutions of Higher Education (SETARA), UPM maintains its six stars rating, which is "Highly Competitive".

History
On 21 May 1931, UPM was established as School of Agriculture, located on Serdang with 22 acres (9 hectares) of land. The only two programmes offered were a three-year diploma programme and a one-year certificate course in agriculture. On 23 June 1947, the school was upgraded to the College of Agriculture Malaya, as declared by the then Governor of Malayan Union, Sir Edward Gent.

On 29 October 1971, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (literally Agricultural University of Malaysia) was officially established through the merger of College of Agriculture Malaya and the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Malaya. UPM began with three faculties in the fields of agriculture, forestry and veterinary medicine. On 23 July 1973, UPM had its first academic session with intake of 1,559 students. On 30 July 1977, UPM held the first convocation ceremony, which also declared the appointment of UPM's first Chancellor, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah.

On 3 April 1997, UPM changed its name to Universiti Putra Malaysia, declared by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the then Prime Minister of Malaysia. The reason for changing name was to indicate UPM's diversification of the fields of study it offered, especially in Science and Technology. The word "Putra" is taken from Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first Prime Minister of Malaysia. One of the reasons the word "Putra" was chosen is because the location of UPM near to Putrajaya. To correspond with the new name, UPM changed the logo as well.

Campus

Aside from the main campus in Serdang, UPM has a branch campus in Bintulu, Sarawak. In June 1987, the National Resources Training Centre relocated to Bintulu from its provisional campus in Kuching. On 27 August 1987, the campus in Bintulu became a branch campus of UPM, abbreviated as UPMKB. Currently the Bintulu campus consists of 2 faculties, the Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences and the Faculty of Humanities, Management and Science, as well as one institute, the Institute of Ecosystem Science Borneo. The campus offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, with approximately 1600 students in total.

UPM used to have another branch campus in Mengabang Telipot, Kuala Terengganu from 1996 until the establishment of Terengganu University College in 1999. Originally, it was the Centre for Fisheries and Marine Science under UPM. In June 1996, the UPM's Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science was transferred to Kuala Terengganu it was made into a branch campus of UPM. Starting from 5 May 1999, it was named Terengganu University College and became an associate campus of UPM. In 2001, it was given autonomy and renamed again as Malaysian Science and Technology University College. It has been upgraded to university status in 2007, as the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu.

Academic profile
UPM began its academic life in 1973 with three founding Faculties and a Division of Basic Sciences. The first intake of 1,559 students was for bachelor's degrees in Agricultural Science or Forestry Science, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Diploma in Home Technology, Diploma in Animal Health and Production, Diploma in Science with Education, and Preliminary Programme. As of 2021, UPM has 15 faculties, 11 institutes and 2 schools, offers 8 diploma programmes, 80 bachelor programmes, 66 Masters programmes by coursework and more than 300 fields of study in Master and Doctoral programmes by research. The Doctor of Medicine program provided by the Medical and Health Science division of the university was fully recognised by the Malaysia Medical Council on 5 June 2001. The School of Business and Economics (previously Faculty of Economics and Management) has received AACSB and EQUIS accreditation in 2012 and 2022 respectively.

Faculties, schools and institutes
As of February 2024, UPM has 15 faculties, 11 institutes and 2 schools.

Residential colleges
The accommodation units in UPM are called "colleges", however, the colleges are not related to education, but built to provide accommodation for students, known as "residential college" or kolej kediaman. Before the UPM's Governance Transformation Plan, there were 17 residential colleges in Serdang campus and one in Bintulu campus. The residential colleges in Serdang campus can be divided into four zone, which are lembah, pinggiran, bukit and serumpun.

The Mohamad Rashid College (KMR) is the oldest residential college in UPM, it was once named as Kolej Kediaman Pertama. After it was renovated, it has been transformed into KMR OnePUTRA Residence and managed by UPM Holdings since 2019.

The Tenth College (K10) and the Tan Sri Mustaffa Babjee College (KMB) are two colleges at zon pinggiran because they are distant from other colleges, located at northeast and southwest of UPM respectively. K10 accommodate the students from Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Design and Architecture while KMB accommodates the students from Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

The Twelfth College (K12) and Fourteenth College (K14) are located at zon serumpun and known as "Serumpun Colleges". They are built by PJS Development, a private construction company through the form of BOT. Currently, part of Serumpun zone is now included into Tan Sri Aishah Ghani College as KTAG zone B.

The Sri Rajang College (KSR) is the only residential college in Bintulu campus, consists of 10 blocks that could accommodate up to 1,560 students.

The Governance Transformation Plan in 2019 has restructured the residential colleges in Serdang campus. Most of them have been merged with another college to save costs and improve administrative efficiency. As of 2024, the list of residential colleges which are managed by UPM is as follow:

• # Tun Dr. Ismail College (KTDI)

• # Chancellor College (KC)

• # Sultan Alaeddin Suleiman Shah College (KOSASS)

• # Pendeta Za'ba College (KPZ)

• # Tenth College (K10)

• # Twelfth College (K12)

• # Tan Sri Aishah Ghani College (KTAG)

• # Fourteenth College (K14)

• # Tan Sri Mustaffa Babjee College (KMB)

• # Sri Rajang College (KSR)

Libraries
UPM has one main library and three branch libraries in Serdang campus, and one library in Bintulu campus.

The Sultan Abdul Samad Library (Malay: Perpustakaan Sultan Abdul Samad, abbreviation: PSAS) is the main library of UPM. It existed before the establishment of UPM in 1971. The library was renamed the Sultan Abdul Samad Library and inaugurated on 23 May 2002, named after Sultan Abdul Samad, the fourth Sultan of Selangor. PSAS consists of block A and B (completed in 1982 and 1969 respectively), with total floor area of 19,007 square metres. The Anjung Siswazah located at block B is a space specially for postgraduate students, its collection are including printed materials, media and electronics.

The library in Bintulu start operating when the campus was reopened in 2001. The operating hour of each library might varying based on the academic period of semester.

Main hall
The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Arts and Cultural Centre (Malay: Pusat Kebudayaan dan Kesenian Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, abbreviation: PKKSSAAS) is the main hall in Serdang campus. It was completed in 1978 and known as the Great Hall of UPM (Dewan Besar UPM) before its name was changed. On 25 April 1996, the hall was inaugurated by Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, the eighth Sultan of Selangor. Since then, UPM renamed the Great Hall to its current name. PKKSSAAS is the venue for orientation, convocation, and even examinations.

The Experimental Theatre (Panggung Percubaan) is part of PKKSSAAS. It is a place for workshops on culture and arts, suitable for theatre performances and debate competition. It can also be used as a platform for the trial of performances.

Mosque
The UPM Mosque (Malay: Masjid UPM) is the university mosque that built to fulfill the prayer needs of Muslim community from UPM and Taman Sri Serdang. The construction started in 1987 and completed in 1989, with total area of 9 hectares. The exterior design of the mosque is inspired by Saladin's war helmet, symbolising the spirit of Jihad in Islam. The mosque consists of 2 floors, able to congregate 9,500 people at the same time. The University Islamic Centre, founded on 1 October 1988, is responsible for managing the mosque and Islamic affairs of UPM.

The Expo Hill (Malay: Bukit Ekspo) is a recreational place in UPM, located at south of Thirteenth College and northwest of UniPutra Golf Club. With the area approximately 12 hectares, it has divided into five zones. Another 13 hectares is made up of 5 freshwater fish ponds which are rearing 5 different fish species (Lampam, Tilapia, Rohu, Belida and Sepat). The Expo Hill was used as the venue of the Agricultural Expo and Convocation Festival for the first time during the first convocation of UPM in 1977. There is an elevated railway track crossing the Expo Hill, travelled by KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit, to which the nearest station is Bandar Tasik Selatan station.

Transportation accessibility
In Serdang campus, UPM buses travel between faculties and residential colleges to bring students to their destination. Starting from August 2023, UPM diminished the bus service to minimise carbon footprint and reduce expense. However, the MRT feeder buses with route number are alternative transportation for the public including the UPM students. Passenger shall pay RM 1.00 with Touch 'n Go card from any station to any station.

The MRT of has been fully operational since 16 March 2023, the  UPM MRT station is located at the northwest edge of UPM, adjacent to the Family, Adolescent and Child Research Centre of Excellence (FACE). The MRT station is accessible by feeder buses which their frequency is between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depends on the expected peak hours.

Although e-hailing is available in campus, students could getting to downtown by Smart Selangor bus. The stations are including South City Plaza, The Mines, Serdang Jaya MRT station and the  Serdang KTM station as the terminus.

Rankings
The graphs below show the QS Rankings and THE Rankings respectively. The rankings by region (Asia) are not same as the Asian universities' ranking filtered from world rankings because QS changed the indicators and weightings; THE also recalibrated their results to reflect priorities and attributes of Asian universities. In the 2021 rankings, QS Top 50 Under 50 and THE Young University Ranking ranked UPM for the last time because 50 years had passed since it was established as a university in 1971.

THE Impact rankings
Times Higher Education Impact Rankings are the global performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Talk:Hermann Adler

His name
Why Hermann Marcus Adler? He is shown in the Jewish Encyclopedia and other reference works as just Hermann Adler. Given that Ashkenazi Jews don't name children after living relatives, it would be extraordinary if he had the same name as his father. RachelBrown 09:54, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Definitely no indication of a middle name. Also, it is misleading to say that he was the orthodox Chief Rabbi. That suggests that someone else was using the title Chief Rabbi, which was not true, and that he was recognised as Chief Rabbi by all orthodox Jews, including the Sephardim and the Federation of Synagogues, which was also not true.--66.232.118.159 14:36, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Emile Heskey

Untitled
(to keep discussion in one place, moved recent comments relating to Style of play all together at bottom of page)

Quote: "Emile Heskey made footballing history in 1997 when he became the 1st black player ever."

Imagine the fun people at the Guardian would have with this sentence. There could be a competition for completing that sentence. Or did they vandalize this page already? There was something about this on the podcast. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.225.172.40 (talk) 01:43, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Quote: Many people believe that Emile is the worlds best targetman for long balls and throughout his career he has proved this, with endless head downs to his strike partners. It has been acknowledged by many that Emile is considered to be a cross between Jan Koller and Pele.

I think I've got reasonable grounds to delete that without asking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.202.62 (talk) 21:44, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I think Heskey himself wrote that BobbyAFC 06:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Ivanhoe is his middle name? You can't be serious. Lowzeewee

GA review
It looks good so far, just a few tweaks are needed:
 * Leads is too small. I wouldn't mind a third paragraph. A little suggestion: Try and expand on his international career in the lead, I don't think a sentence really efficient - Try and expand on facts like who he made his debut against and why was he dropped from the England team (Poor performances? International retirement?)
 * ✅ Expanded. Mattythewhite 18:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Leicester City section is worryingly small considering he spent the longest there.
 * ✅ Expanded. Mattythewhite 18:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Also, although this isn't really your fault, but surely his £11 million move isn't any longer a club record is it, considering Mr. Torres.
 * ✅ Sorted out. Mattythewhite 18:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but shouldn't you include the fact that Torres is the current record holder then? Sorry, it kinda leaves a relevant gap in the article. Interestly you could also use the succession box and the if you can find the previous record holder before Heskey, have a look at Nico Rosberg's succession boxes for a better idea. --Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 21:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ Mentioned Torres being the record holder. Mattythewhite 22:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Also, but perhaps this is just me, but the article doesn't really explore why Liverpool bought Heskey...Did they need a new striker? Was a replacement? etc...
 * I don't think there is any particular way of finding out why they bought him, really.. Mattythewhite 18:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * True, but you could explore a few ideas and see what you come up with... --Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 21:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * What exactly do you mean? But, I've slightly expanded that sentence. Mattythewhite 08:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well it doesn't really matter because this one was optional. But I mean have a look at the Liverpool team prior to Heskey's arrival and see if there are any "gaps" in the team in certain positions. But like I said, it's optional.--Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 09:31, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Same with the Birmingham City...Try and expand a little
 * ✅ Expanded. Mattythewhite 18:34, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * A few specifics with the Wigan section - "Heskey was signed by Wigan Athletic for £5.5m during the summer of 2006." yes? And who did he make his debut against?
 * ✅ Debut mentioned. Mattythewhite 18:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * In the clubs stats section, could you add a note saying how up to date the table is - to avoid anyone in future inaccuracies.
 * ✅ Mattythewhite 17:01, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Did Heskey have any individual honours?
 * I don't believe so. Mattythewhite 18:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Anyway, I do realise this is just for Good Article status, but still several sections will need major "beefing up" if you want to take this article beyond GA. But apart from that, it's still a nice article. --Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 16:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Cheers for seeing to those problems, I'll now pass this article as a GA. A few things you could do in the future is of course expand a few sections, not only that but have a section on his personal and early life would be good as well. I'm also sure you know the drill as well Matty, see my sig for a "subtle" reminder. --Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 09:31, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Having read the article - there are some bits that repeat, and other bits (whilst cited) don't give both sides of the argument. For instance his "Strength" should and probably could be cross referenced with his ability to fall over at a touch.--Koncorde 23:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * suggestion for addition to page - Emile's goal in the 5-1 win by England v Germany on 1 September 2001 in World Cup qualifying, in Munich. Not only was this match described (by the BBC) as poossibly England's finest ever (arguable, but certainly very significant in rescuing a failing qualifying campaign and setting a record for the biggest defeat of a major rival, but also the match was the source of an England supporters' chant still used today "Five-one, even Heskey scored" in a would-be humorous reference to Heskey's perceived inability to score goals. I'm surprised this is not part of an otherwise very thorough article.THe IRB (talk) 23:43, 25 September 2012 (UTC) (THe_IRB)26 Sep 2012

(to keep discussion in one place, moved recent comments relating to Style of play all together at bottom of page)

Statistics section
someone needs to sort that out so the tables don't overlap, i've had a look but can't see how to do so.Skitzo (talk) 19:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Style of play
(moved recent comments relating to Style of play all together to avoid confusion)

I'm sorry why should this be included in the article? I don't see Steven Gerrard's style of play mentioned in his article or Frank Lampard's in his article. So why should a lesser player? Also a pacy forward what the hell? Deleted. 81.47.151.9 (talk)

I'd also like to point out that the sources that have been quoted are several years old. They may no longer reflect Heskey's capability. You've heard of Heskey being in his prime well yes that did happen but that has also happened to Gianfranco Zola at one point he was called the world's best player but after he left Chelsea he was no longer in that category. I personally think it ought to be deleted. 83.104.51.181 (talk) 14:23, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Style of Play I know that there has been much debate over this. Give me a valid reason as to why it is on the article and why other player's don't have something like this? The sources are years old one dating back I think to 2001 we can't quote news from 2001 and claim it is the current news yet that is what this article is representing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.104.51.181 (talk) 14:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe people have just never bothered adding these sections to other players articles? And perhaps it could be written in the past tense to suit the age of the news articles? Mattythewhite (talk) 14:33, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * A footballer's style of play is a subject of interest to readers and an important aspect of their playing career, so it's perfectly normal to include an outline of it in articles. There are three footballer articles rated as Featured Article, Thierry Henry, Gilberto Silva and Duncan Edwards; all three have a Style of play section. Some articles rated Good Article (Joey Barton, Chris Brandon, Mark Bresciano, etc) have such a section, some don't. You make a reasonable point about the assessment of Heskey's style being from a six-year-old source; perhaps you might have a look for some more recent reliable sources for a description of the player's style, perhaps sources which might illustrate how his style has changed over time, and improve the article using those? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:07, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Struway I appreciate what you have said. But there are no sources that would say Heskey's style of play has changed since 2001. Whoever thought that Mr. Heskey's style of play would be debated so thoroughly. Ok, I admit it a dozen or a few more football players articles have a small 'Style of Play' section. Most of these are still very relevant though and some of the player's that you mentioned are currently in their pomp and a lot younger than Mr. Heskey. Also the opening of 'Style of Play' is more or less the same as the start introduction to the article. Maybe you could make some suggestions or maybe we could come to some sort of compromise. Thanks. 83.104.51.181 (talk) 20:38, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Arguable, isn't it. I'd say that of those three players with featured status articles, two are past their prime and one's dead. Whatever the class of article, or for that matter the class of footballer, a footballer's style of play ought to be discussed in their article, whether it's in a separate section or spread out over the article; if it isn't, then the article needs to be improved so that it doesn't leave out a major aspect of the player's professional career.
 * I did a google search on ' "Emile Heskey" pace Wigan '; including Wigan so that the results would be relatively recent. In the first ten results, I comment on these two. In this one, the Guardian writer "unexpectedly" watched "a masterclass in pace, power, movement and intelligence". In this one, the writer is happy to remind us of Heskey's giving away the free kick that resulted in England going out of Euro2004, but still mentions that "Heskey’s strengths are his pace and strength". I'm away for a couple of days, so haven't got time, but if you'd consider updating the style of play section to incorporate those recent assessments of the player's style, you'd be doing Wikipedia a favour. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:50, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I re-edited the whole 'Style of play' section to reflect how well Heskey did in his youth at Leicester and his £11m move to Liverpool. However I have also added harsh truths that reflect both sides of the coin. I have informed readers of how he USED to be pacy but has no lost that ability. I added that he has brought many other things to his game. All sources have been kept. I hope my work is satisfactory. 83.104.51.181 (talk) 13:55, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry I still don't like it and I've re-edited it all myself. His style of play is being a big lump what else is there to his game? The stuuf I've added is just niceties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.104.51.181 (talk) 17:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

"A man possessed"
Regarding the sentence "After the match, Heskey was described as "a man possessed", after playing at the heart of the Wigan defence, a position not suited to his play" and its reference, I don't believe that the sentence is valid. Can I have a second opinion on this? (Vindicta (talk) 00:56, 19 October 2008 (UTC))
 * Agreed - the writer has completely misread the article. I can't ascertain the reason why it was written in to the article in the first place! I'll fix it now. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 23:27, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Personal life
Hi, this is a warning that the personal life information in this article is much too short. Any biography that is of GA standard must have at least one well organised paragraph describing the persons life outside of their field for which they are famous or otherwise incorporate that information elsewhere in the text. This article does not provide enough information on the person in question and does not give enough context for the incidents and information that is mentioned. For an example of how such a section might look, see Brian Urlacher and for pointers on how to expand and improve the section, see this guide. If this information is not improved then this article would be unlikely to survive a Good Article Reassessment and may well be delisted in the future.

Heskey goal versus Germany in England's 5-1 win on 1 September 2001 World Cup Qualifier
I'm surprised that Emile's goal in this game has not been mentioned. The game has been described as possibly the England team's best ever performance. While that is arguable it was undoubtedly a major victory setting up World Cup qualification after a poor start, and represents England's biggest victory over constant rival Germany. Further, this game is the source of a popular England supporters' chant still in use today *Five-One, even Heskey scored" referring to Heskey's perceived lack of goals in a would-be humorous way. This may not be the most appropriate place to comment on the "style of play" section but 1) I think it's an interesting element of a sports entry on Wikipedia and 2)Anyone who watched Heskey regularly at Leicester would dispute that he was just a blunt instrument. In my view his levels of ball control on the ground were well developed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.34.192 (talk) 23:20, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Paragraphs in lead section
When the lead section of the article began with a single sentence, I could understand why someone might want to combine it with the next paragraph. WP:LAYOUT advises us to minimise the number of single-sentence paragraphs. So I added a second sentence including a brief summary of Mr Heskey's club and international career, i.e. mentioning "the notable actions or roles the person played" as per MOS:BIO bullet point 4. Now, I can't see how it makes any sense aesthetically or logically to combine that with the second (introductory early life and club career) paragraph. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:57, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Look at other football player articles and you can see they are usually made up of paragraphs. Your the only one that insists on having a two sentence intro.

West Anglia Main Line

The West Anglia Main Line is one of the two main line railways that operate out of Liverpool Street (the other being the Great Eastern Main Line to Ipswich and Norwich). It runs generally north through Cheshunt, Broxbourne, Harlow, Bishop's Stortford and Audley End (near Saffron Walden) to Cambridge, with branches between serving Stratford, Hertford and Stansted Airport. The line runs along the boundary between Hertfordshire and Essex for much of its length.

In the early years, the line was the main route from London to Cambridge. Following the opening of the Cambridge Line between Hitchin and Cambridge, the West Anglia Main Line is now primarily a commuter route for stations between Cambridge and London. It was an important goods route for many years as the southern end of a route from coalfields in Yorkshire, and there are still freight trains which run occasionally to Harlow and Rye House Power Station, along with a Network Rail base at Broxbourne.

History
The first section was built for the Northern and Eastern Railway from Stratford to Broxbourne and opened in 1840. It was extended northwards in stages, reaching Spellbrook, 3 mi short of Bishops Stortford, in 1842. In 1843 the line reached Bishops Stortford, and in the following year the Northern and Eastern Railway was leased by the Eastern Counties Railway. It was this railway company opened the section from Bishops Stortford to Cambridge as part of its extension to Ely and Brandon in 1845.

By the 1860s the railways in East Anglia were in financial trouble, and most were leased to the Eastern Counties Railway. Although they wished to amalgamate formally, they could not obtain government agreement for this until 1862, when the Great Eastern Railway (GER) was formed by amalgamation.

The opening of the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Railway in 1882 saw the Great Eastern open up a direct link with coal-producing areas in Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire joining the line north of Cambridge at Chesterton Junction, generally routed to the large marshalling yards at Temple Mills.

Following the grouping in 1923 the line became part of the London & North Eastern Railway.

In 1948 following nationalisation the line passed to British Railways Eastern Region.

In 1952 the branch from Elsenham to Thaxted (known as the "Gin & Toffee Line") closed to passengers, and goods services were withdrawn a year later. The Saffron Walden line closed to passengers on 7 September 1964 and to freight three months later.

Electrification first came in the early 1960s under British Rail in sections. Electrification to Chingford included the Stratford – Lea Bridge – Hall Farm Junction section (although this was never completed), and the line from Liverpool Street to Broxbourne via Seven Sisters and the Southbury Loop was electrified. The route via Tottenham Hale was still operated by diesel traction, the British Rail Class 125 'Lea Valley' DMUs.

The line from Clapton Junction (on the Chingford line) through Tottenham Hale to Cheshunt and from Broxbourne to Bishops Stortford was electrified on 9 March 1969 and from there to Cambridge in 1987. Stratford to Coppermill Junction was electrified in 1989. The power supply is 25 kV AC overhead line.

In 1991, a single-track branch line to Stansted Airport was opened, and services to London Liverpool Street commenced.

In early 2011, ticket barriers were installed at Bishop's Stortford, Harlow Town, Broxbourne, Cheshunt and Hackney Downs, some of the busiest stations on the line, to reduce the need for ticket inspectors on the Stansted Express service and reduce fare evasion.

In May 2015, services from Liverpool Street to Chingford, Enfield Town and Cheshunt via Seven Sisters transferred to London Overground, along with a new station opening at Lea Bridge. In August the same year, a direct covered walkway opened between Hackney Downs and Hackney Central on the North London Line.

In September 2019, the Lea Valley Rail Project was completed between Lea Bridge, and the new station at Meridian Water. This removed the level crossing at Northumberland Park, and added a new third platform for both there and Tottenham Hale, along with a third track.

As a result of the new and, platform extensions are necessary at many stations to allow for ten/twelve car trains to stop at stations respectively. However, the class 720 has selective door opening, allowing for some platforms not having to be extended.

Services
Services from Liverpool Street to Cambridge, Hertford East and Stansted Airport are operated by Greater Anglia.

Express services from Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport are operated by Stansted Express, a sub-brand of Greater Anglia.

Services from Stansted Airport to Cambridge (and onward to Birmingham New Street via Peterborough) are operated by CrossCountry.

The line is part of the Network Rail Strategic Route 5, which comprises SRS 05.01 and part of 05.05. It is classified as a London and South East commuter line.

In London, the line forms the Tottenham Hale branch of the Lea Valley Lines.

Infrastructure
The line was initially gauge, but between 5 September and 7 October 1844 it was converted to.

Currently, the line has double track for most of its length, with two exceptions at Stansted Airport Tunnel and at Ware. There is also a short section of quadruple track between Hackney Downs and Bethnal Green, from which the West Anglia Main Line runs alongside the Great Eastern Main Line to London Liverpool Street as two of six tracks into the termini. The line is electrified at 25 kV AC and has a loading gauge of W8 except for the Stansted branch, which is W6.

Line-side train monitoring equipment includes hot axle box detectors (HABD) on the up main south of Newport (39 miles 48 chains from Liverpool Street) and on the down main north of Shepreth Branch Junction (53 miles 10 chains). There are no wheel impact load detectors (WILD) ‘Wheelchex’ on the line.

Tunnels and viaducts
Major civil engineering structures on the West Anglia Main Line include the following.

Locomotives and rolling stock
Throughout the steam era trains were predominantly hauled by Great Eastern Railway (or its constituent companies') locomotives: when steam ended in East Anglia in the 1960s some of these locomotives were still operated – see Stratford TMD and Great Eastern Railway. After the grouping of 1923 LNER-designed locomotives were used with the B17 4-6-0 class working many main line services. Following nationalisation in 1948 British Railways introduced the Britannia 4-6-2 class on some main line services until succeeded by diesels in the late 1950s.

East Anglia was the first area to be worked completely by diesel trains with Class 31s taking over some express workings. These were succeeded by more powerful Class 37 and Class 47 until full electrification to King's Lynn in the 1980s when Class 86 locomotives took over.

Suburban services from about 1958 were operated by Class 125 DMUs, and following the 1969 electrification Class 305 and Class 308 units. Other units from the GE section such as Class 302 and 306 also operated services during this period, with Class 310s temporarily operating once electrification to Cambridge was complete. These first-generation units were replaced soon after by Class 315 and Class 317 units.

In 2011, new Bombardier Class 379s began operation mainly to replace class 317 from Stansted Express duties to mainline services (which in-turn relocated class 315s to inner suburban routes). Class 170 DMUs operate from Stansted Airport north through Cambridge to Birmingham on CrossCountry services.

In 2020, new Class 745s were introduced on Stansted Express services, cascading the Class 379s to other WAML services. The delayed Class 720s began to replace both class 317s & class 379s on the route on 25 August 2021, with full fleet replacement on this route completed in August 2022.

Future developments
It seems likely that two tracks will be built alongside the line to Cheshunt as part of Crossrail 2. Intermediate stations from Tottenham Hale will transfer to Crossrail 2 releasing capacity on the mainline for additional trains. In August 2019, it was announced that funding had been approved for four-tracking and related platform construction work between Tottenham Hale and Meridian Water to enable up to 8 trains per hour to make local stops in this section at peak times.
