Talk:Dark Lord of the Sith

I was wondering why Flint was including in the Dark Lords of the Sith page. As far as I am aware he turned to the Light Side again. You can't be a Light Side user and a Sith -- Heru Jameson

 * He was redeemed, just like Darth Vader. Prior to that redemption he was the apprentice of Lady Lumiya.

 * (I'm guessing you did the edit) First of all, thanks for the information, I now understand what you consider a Dark Lord of the Sith to be, which makes sense as Vader (who was nto the Master was considered a Dark Lord of the Sith). I'm glad that you removed Exar Kun cause he did not belong their and added Carnor Jax as he did. - Heru Jameson

Actually, considering that neither Flint nor Carnor Jax ever used the title Dark Lord of the Sith, and have never been referred to by that title -- or indeed, ever even been referred to as Sith Lords --, they most certainly do not belong on a list of Dark Lords of the Sith. Furthermore, considering that Exar Kun was explicitly called "Dark Lord of the Sith" by no less a figure than Marka Ragnos himself in Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith No. 6, I should think that the exact opposite is true: Exar Kun does belong on the list, and Flint and Carnor Jax do not. Publius 06:25, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Dooku was never called a Dark Lord of the Sith either, so far as I know, yet, since in Bane's Order both Master and apprentice carry the title of Dark Lord, he obviously is one. Flint and Jax, as the apprentices of the ruling Sith Master, are Dark Lords of the Sith. Flint is even referred to as such in Marvel Comics' Star Wars #92: "The Dream." Jon Hart 21:24, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Looking at "The Dream" right now, I see no reference to Flint as "Dark Lord of the Sith," only as Dark Lord.

Apprentices?
I'm slightly confused as to some of the members on the list. Why are Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus and Darth Vader all included? For their entire lives, they were apprentices to Palpatine. Maul and Tyrannus were both killed during Palpatine's lifetime, and Vader repented before Palpatine's death. Surely only Palpatine counts as Dark Lord of the Sith? -- Supermorff 00:04, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Actully It Was one of darth banes former allies from the brotherhood of darkness that established that all sith where to be proclaimed with the title, "Dark Lord of The Sith." His Name was lord kaan. The reason he did so was that his allies feared he was too weak to futher lead them in battle against the jedi and they confronted him about it. It is then when he announced that infact all sith lords where nao all equal and all titled dark lord of the sith. When he used his time bomb to kill what he thought would be all jedi in the last battle he infact killed all life forms in the area exept for darth bane. When darth bane reformed the sith orded in stated that from this day foward only be 2 dark lords of the sith will exsist at a time( the reason for this is somthing like the shadow war. They wanted to hide in the backround and strike at the right time.(and we see that it lasted until the rise of the empire When siduos started trainning forced adepts and using them as the emperor's hand.But i guess he felt he has the right to change the order since it was him that put the sith order back ontop of the food chian) Another feat. that he added was to keep Kaans fomer statment that all sith will carry the title, 'DARK LORD OF THE SITH". [Added by the user sirbizzy]
 * As the article says, Darth Bane's reformations to the Sith Order allowed both the master and the apprentice to take on the title of Dark Lord of the Sith. Nufy8 00:33, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Which is cannon as Darth Vader is called the Dark Lord of the Sith in the movies. In fact, he is the only directly called that in the Origonal Series (even though we know the Emperor, a.k.a Darth Sidious, is also a Dark Lord of the Sith). --Heru Jameson
 * NO dialogue in Episode IV - VI has ever mentioned the term Sith at all! please note that! even in the DVD Edition! i think that Maul, Tyranus and Vader should be removed from this page. --Kevinmhk
 * The Star Wars Databank calls him the Dark Lord of the Sith. Nufy8 15:31, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * yes i know, but Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker's entries have not updated for Episode III yet, and after watching Episode III i definitely dont think that Vader was a Dark Lord of the Sith. Anyway i think "Dark Lord of the Sith" should be considered as canonical contradiction. Darth Kevinmhk 03:32, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Anakin's entry was updated for Episode III (in "The Beginning of the End..." theme update), and still includes the sentence, "He became Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, apprentice to the evil Emperor Palpatine." What exactly in the movie made you think he wasn't? Nufy8 04:03, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * According to Original Trilogy only, the terms "Sith" and "Dark Lord of the Sith" never appear in the dialogues. Dialogues in the movies receive the highest canonical level (i think the dialogues are ever slightly higher than offical site databank). And we know that things in Star Wars change from time to time as more and more products surface. For databank entries, Darth Sidious' "The Movies" section does not say he is a Dark Lord; Darth Maul's "The Movies" section does not say he is a Dark Lord too; Dooku's "The Movies" section mention Sidious is Dark Lord, but does not say Tyranus is a Dark Lord. So while Maul and Tyranus and Vader are Sidious's apprectices, why Vader is Dark Lord while Tyranus and Maul are not? Exar Kun is a Dark Lord, but usually we dont consider Ulic as a Dark Lord. If Vader is the Dark Lord, what is Sidious then? Darth Bane's rule is to minimize civil war inside the Sith. I don't think Bane and Sidious would allow an apprentice to be Dark Lord, which would post a threat to their own rulership. I think because Sidious/Palpatine never reveal his secret identity to the public, no one know he is a Sith, and thus consider Vader as the only Sith and Dark Lord of the Sith.
 * The fact that not every section dealing with a specific character calls him by that certain title does not mean he isn't the Dark Lord. And while the movies are the highest form of canon, the next level is still canon and it doesn't interfere with the continuity of the movies. Speaking of the movies, Sidious is referred to as the Dark Lord in the prequels, so in the highest form of canon he is the Dark Lord of the Sith, and mentioning that title in every Databank entry he appears in would be unnecessary. Nufy8 15:01, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * ya, and so my second point was how can two Dark Lords exist at the same time? just like how can two US Presidents exist at the same time? Darth Sidious is definitely the master and the Dark Lord, while he is alive how can Vader achieve the title? If one accept "Dark Lord of the Sith" is different and higher in rank than "Sith Lord", then one must consider there is only 1 highest ranking leader at a time. Unless one consider Dark Lord = Sith Lord (there are indeed many people consider Sith Lord is just the short form of Dark Lord of the Sith), otherwise my point is still only the master is the Dark Lord. Again I think (and guess) because the public in the galaxy knows nothing about Sidious/Palpatine stuff, so they just consider Darth Vader is the only Sith and the only Dark Lord, just like only a very few know Vader was Anakin. Darth Kevinmhk 15:08, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Darth Bane's changes made it so that the title of Dark Lord would encompass two Sith. This is not to say they were equal; the designation of master and apprentince seems to be the titles that would divide the power amongst the Dark Lords. So while two could take on the title, one would indeed have to be more powerful; the "master". I understand where you're coming from, this whole Dark Lord business is kind of confusing. It's most likely true that Lucas didn't have a difference between Sith Lord and Dark Lord in mind when creating Star Wars, and that the Expanded Universe helped shape that. It might help to split the list up between Old Sith Order and New Sith Order and explain how the title of Dark Lord of the Sith changed between the two. Nufy8 15:31, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * i agree to most of your points here, but i dont think there is any piece of work that can prove exaactly the meaning in the sentence "Darth Bane's changes made it so that the title of Dark Lord would encompass two Sith."... if indeed there is a prove please kindly show me. i would very much like to read. thanks! Darth Kevinmhk 16:28, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not explicitly stated anywhere, but the proof is that both Sidious and Vader hold the title of Dark Lord. Jon Hart 20:41, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The most updated databank entry of Anakin Skywalker in "Sith Vengeance" has deleted the sentence "He became Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, apprentice to the evil Emperor Palpatine." The term "Dark Lord of the Sith" no longer appears in Anakin's entry. Isn't that enough proof? Let's wait for Darth Vader's entry update. Darth Kevinmhk 05:31, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * And a new entry, Mustafar, says "Kenobi bested Vader, leaving the Dark Lord to die on the Mustafar river banks." Nufy8 16:07, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

"Dark Lady of the Sith"
From the article: "Dark Lord of the Sith or Dark Lady of the Sith is a fictional title created by George Lucas for his Star Wars universe."

Is the term "Dark Lady of the Sith" ever actually used in the star wars cannon?

Because i always thought "Dark Lady of the Sith" was just a fannon thing, based on one sith lord (Lumiya) who is called the "Dark Lady".

Is there actually anything cannon that suggests "Dark Lady of the Sith" is a female version of "Dark Lord of the Sith"?

Didn't all the other female sith lords simply call themselves Dark Lords? Yaksha 07:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Also this clears up all the smoke in the air for u guyz above. This is a list of thw sith ranking system like the one the jedi used. This ofcourse was thrown out the window. Although im not sure when i know that it didnt go in when darth bane reformed the sith... but here it is,Sith Minion to Sith Acolyte to Sith Warrior to Sith Lord to Dark Lord of the Sith. For the most part this ranking system remained the same, through the ancient Sith Empire.[added by use sirbizzy]

Jacen Solo = DLOTS?
Is it confirmed anywhere that Jacen Solo is DLOTS? If so, a reference should probably be mentioned.

The Jacen Solo article only says that he's treading the path of the Sith and so forth- but I see nothing saying that he's actually the DLOTS. --DarthBinky 19:32, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Dates
Why is Sidious dated until 11ABY? Surely his reign ended when Vaders did at 4ABY? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thedarxide (talk • contribs) 21:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Laurencekirk

Laurencekirk (, Lowrenkirk, Eaglais Labhrainn), locally known as Lournie, is a small town in the historic county of Kincardineshire, Scotland, just off the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen main road. It is administered as part of Aberdeenshire. It is the largest settlement in the Howe o' the Mearns area and houses the local secondary school; Mearns Academy, which was established in 1895 and awarded the Charter Mark in 2003.

Its old name was Conveth, an anglification of the Gaelic Coinmheadh, referring to an obligation to provide free food and board to passing troops. Laurencekirk is in the valley between the Hill of Garvock and the Cairn O' Mount. The famous landmark of the Johnston Tower can be seen on the peak of the Garvock.

Laurencekirk was, in the past, known for making snuff boxes with a special type of airtight hinge (known as a "Laurencekirk hinge") invented by James Sandy.

The Laurencekirk Golf Club, now defunct, was founded in the early 1900s but by 1951 it had been wound up.

Parish of Conveth
The parish of Conveth is first recorded during the reign of William the Lion with its church dedicated by the Bishop of St Andrews in 1244. The parish church was named Laurence Kirk in honour of either Saint Lawrence or Laurence of Canterbury. A new church building was constructed in 1626.

18 to 19th centuries
In 1762, Lord Gardenstone purchased Johnston Estate, the site of the modern village and began a programme of improvement. Prior to this, the settlement consisted of only two or three houses in the vicinity of the kirk and manse. Lord Gardenstone began the construction of a new village in 1765 and encouraged its growth by granting settlers feus on generous terms of only three or four pence. The village grew quickly and by 1810 was home to approximately 600 people. The village's charter was signed in 1781, granting it the status of a burgh of Barony.

Lord Gardenstone also developed the industry of making snuff-boxes in the village with this continuing through the 19th century. He also built a museum next to the village inn to create a tourist attraction.

The 1626 church building was demolished in 1804 to make way for the present building. Some of the stones from the older church were reused in the construction.

20th century to present
During the 1908 Kincardineshire by-election campaign, the Women’s Freedom League held a meeting at the Laurencekirk Market Stance as part of a wider campaign by the group to protest the Liberal government's unwillingness to bring in votes for women. Speeches where made by Mary Gawthorpe of the WSPU and Teresa Billington-Greig of the Women’s Freedom League.

Laurencekirk railway station was opened on 1 November 1849 by the Aberdeen Railway, which ran from Aberdeen in the north to Guthrie (just outside Arbroath) to the south. The line joined the North British, Arbroath and Montrose Railway north of Montrose at Kinnaber Junction and Arbroath and Forfar Railway at the triangular junctions at Friockheim and Guthrie.

Services
Laurencekirk has two public houses; The Crown and The Royal.Laurencekirk Primary School was built in 1999 and Mearns Academy, the senior school, opened in a new building in August 2014, at a cost of £23 million. The Community Centre, Library and Police Station are housed within the Mearns Academy Campus. There are two public parks, both with children's play areas, and in addition the memorial park houses a bowling green and a skate-board facility.

There are three Christian congregations in the town: Laurencekirk Church of Scotland - which is linked with Aberluthnott Parish Church (comprising Marykirk and Luthermuir communities), St Laurence's Church, an Episcopalian Church which is part of the Diocese of Brechin; and also the Mearns congregation of the Catalyst Vineyard Church. In 1693 the Episcopalians had been driven from the parish kirk in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution. A new meeting house was built at nearby Redmyre, though this was destroyed in 1746.

The Episcopalians built a chapel dedicated to St Laurence in Laurencekirk 1791 which took in the congregations of Redmyre and Luthermuir. The current St Laurence' was opened in 1873 and now also serves the congregations of Drumtochty, Fasque and Drumlithie. its archives are held at the University of Dundee as part of the Brechin Diocese's Archives.

Local landmarks
Johnston Tower was built to commemorate the Duke of Wellington's victory over Napoleon in the Peninsular War. It is situated on the Garvock Hill alongside a wind farm. The neighbouring residence, Johnston Lodge, was built in 1780 by James Farquhar, MP for Aberdeen Burghs and later for Portalington. The house was later owned by Lord Gardenstone.

Local radio
Alongside the commercial enterprise of the local newspaper, The Kincardineshire Observer (often referred to as The Squeeker) which was first published in 1902, Laurencekirk has a Local Community Radio Station in Mearns FM. Broadcasting from nearby Stonehaven in the Townhall, Mearns FM helps to keep Laurencekirk up to date with local and charity events, as well as playing a wee bit of music. Staffed completely by volunteers, Mearns FM is run as a not for profit organisation, broadcasting under a Community Radio licence, with a remit to provide local focus news events and programming. Jointly funded by local adverts and local and national grants. Mearns FM has one of the largest listening areas of any Community Radio Station owing to the Mearns' distributed population, Mearns FM was set up to try to bring these distant communities together.

Transport
The Dundee–Aberdeen line passes through the town. The railway station, which closed to passengers in 1967, was re-opened on 17 May 2009. The opening of this station has affirmed Laurencekirk's status as a commuter town providing links to Aberdeen, Dundee and beyond.

The Laurencekirk bypass opened in 1985 as part of the project to dual the road between Perth and Aberdeen. The bypass is now part of the A90. A grade-separated (flyover) junction is planned for access to Laurencekirk, eliminating a flat crossing where numerous accidents have occurred. However, in 2021 it was revealed the project had been delayed.

In literature
Lewis Grassic Gibbon wrote much about The Mearns and the surrounding area in his book Sunset Song. A tribute centre can be visited at the Grassic Gibbon Centre at Arbuthnott, a few miles from Laurencekirk.

Fred Urquhart worked on the land in the Laurencekirk district during the Second World War, and his short stories make use of his observations of rural life there.

I am writing an article on Contingent Workforce Management. Please add any comments on the discussion page. User:TheBackpack/sandbox

Thanks, --TheBackpack 13:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

More topics about the consulting and contingent workforce industry
Hello,

I have finished my contingent workforce management article (User:TheBackpack/sandbox) and I am waiting for approval from AKRadecki to publish it. I wanted to work with you in creating more articles about the consulting industry. I was thinking about writing articles about Vendor Management Systems and maybe some other topics that I find interesting in the near future. Let me know what you think.

--TheBackpack 14:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strictly speaking, you don't need AKRadecki's or anyone's permission to publish your article, though he seems like a level-headed guy and a good source of advice. I like what you've done with the article, and I'm interested in doing more in this topic as well.  One thought: since Portable employer of record went away, I'd suggest not making it a link, or using the more neutral term Employer of Record, which redirects to the PEO article. Have you had a chance to look at my rewrite in progress yet? BWatkins 03:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I don't know if you saw the article before or after I removed the PER link, but either way it is now removed. The only thing there now is a definition of both PER and EOR. I created an internal link to PEO in my CWM article. I would like in the future if a separate article could be written on EOR or PER, since there are some differences between them and PEO (i.e. a PER can completely eliminate co employment risk whereas a PEO doesn't, necessarily; or a PER may be able to handle commission-earning independent professionals like real estate agents, whereas a PEO cannot). But I think we could expand these topics and maybe dive deeper by understanding how portals work as well as the other tools of Wikipedia in order to make understanding these topics more user friendly. Thanks for your help.

--TheBackpack 18:04, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Stop talking to yourself and get on with it, my friend. The article on Professional employer organization is MUCH better than it was a few weeks ago. You're starting to do really good stuff here in Wikipedia. Keep at it. But consider removing that external link from the article. It doesn't add anything useful, and external link sections are spam magnets in Wikipedia.

When you have time, you might want to consider sending a thank-you note to Akradecki for helping you understand Wikipedia. He's a good person and it would be polite if you thanked him for his help. --64.181.90.250 02:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I've already thanked Akradecki, on his talk page. I do appreciate his assistance, and anyone who's that into helicopters is a good guy in my book! The external links section stays for now, if it becomes a problem, I'll eliminate it.

 * As for the snarky comment about "getting on with it," how about you? You'd profit from a little more understanding and a LOT more patience with others.  And how about owning your words again instead of hiding behind anonymous IP addresses? I have to say that this experience has all but driven me away from even wanting to participate here. It'll be a while before I "get on with it" and try to do more writing/editing here. BWatkins 13:33, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I usually logon under a username to edit here in Wikipedia, but sometimes I get tired of dealing with endless discussions that don't add anything to this encyclopedia's mission of summarizing verifiable and notable information. Am I being "snarky" in suggesting that you keep the purpose of this encyclopedia in mind? I guess that's a matter of opinion.  I hope you keep doing what you're doing -- and I think you're doing it well.  --65.78.214.97 03:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Magic (illusion)
I don't know about you, but I feel daunted by the work needed on the magic pages. I think your opening paragraph in your sandbox is a huge improvement on what was there, although I would question the definition of some terms (illusionist, conjuror, tricks). I'm having a bash at the History section, which is in a frightful mess. Do you have any thoughts? Kosmoshiva 05:33, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree, I don't know where to start. I'm just going to make small improvements until I read more of the pages.  The opening paragraph is still in sandbox because I want to find references for those definitions before I update the article.  BWatkins 15:11, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks -
- for the thanks! ;-) I used to do a lot of magic back in the 1960s to 80s, but not much anymore, though I have a suitcase full of apparatuses. First, I actually only removed one image from the magic page, since it only showed a balancing trick - not magic. I felt I had to add something instead, so I uploaded that photo... Greetings, --Janke | Talk 15:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Magic secrets revealed - there is hope!
Hi!

In case you have already seen my response to your note on my talk page, I thought it best to add a further comment here. If you haven't seen it, you probably haven't missed much, but you can view it here. Anyway, you did ask about my thoughts on the revealing of secrets. It turns out that there is instruction to remove magic secrets, but ONLY if certain criteria are met. In case you haven't seen it, you can see it at WikiProject_Magic. Providing that the reasons you are removing the secrets are covered by the guidelines, you can't be accused of vandalism. To make sure, I would recommend that you include the reason why you are removing in edit summary, and (as advised in the guidelines) you add a comment on the talk page.

I've already done this on Chinese linking rings, feel free to have a look at how I went about it. StephenBuxton (talk) 16:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

List of songs with numbers in the title
How is this encyclopedic? How is this managable? It seems to me that this is the list equivalent of a dicdef. --Xcali 21:52, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: what I really meant was "Is something this obvious really encyclopedic?" Just by looking at a song title, someone would know if it has numbers in it.  How does this list help? Also, just because we have lots of something, doesn't necessarily mean we should keep them around.  A kitchen may have a lot of mice, but you still try to get rid of each one when it pops its head up.  --Xcali 22:23, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Dean Gallo

Dean Anderson Gallo (November 23, 1935 – November 6, 1994) was an American politician and businessman who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing New Jersey's 11th congressional district from 1985 until his death from prostate cancer in Denville, New Jersey, in 1994.

Early life
Gallo was born in Hackensack, New Jersey, the son of Dean and Selma Gallo. He grew up in Boonton, New Jersey, and attended public schools in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey, before graduating from Boonton High School in 1954.

Career
He spent his career as a realtor and real estate developer, and was an owner of Gallo & DeCroce, a firm he started with another future elected official, Alex DeCroce.

Local politics
Gallo was elected to the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council in 1967, and served as council president from 1968 to 1971. He was elected to the Morris County Board of Freeholders in 1971 to fill an unexpired term, and elected to a full three-year term in 1972. He was the freeholder director from 1973 to 1975. In 1974, Gallo considered running for New Jersey's 5th congressional district, which included all of Somerset and parts of Essex, Mercer and Morris counties, including his hometown of Parsippany. The Republican incumbent, Peter Frelinghuysen, was retiring after 22 years. However, Gallo ultimately did not run and instead endorsed Assembly Minority Leader Thomas Kean, who narrowly lost the GOP primary to Millicent Fenwick.

New Jersey Assembly
In 1975, Gallo became a candidate for New Jersey's 24th legislative district, which included part of Morris County and Summit in Union County. Gallo won the Republican primary by a more than 2–1 margin against four other candidates, W. Thomas Tintle, Gerard R. Hughes, Jack Newberger and Raymond F. Bonnell. In the general election, he defeated two-term Democratic Assemblyman John J. Sinsimer by 6,605 votes, 26,277 to 19,672. Gallo faced Sinsimer again in 1977 and won by an even greater margin, 15,505 votes, 33,306 to 17,801. He was re-elected by similar margins in 1979, 1981, and 1983. Gallo was elected Assembly Minority Leader in 1981 and was re-elected to a second term in 1983.

U.S. House of Representatives
New Jersey's congressional map drawn after the 1980 United States census was thrown out in 1984 on the grounds that the variations in district populations were too large. A panel of federal judges substituted a new map that significantly altered the 11th District, home to 11-term Democratic incumbent Joseph Minish. Democratic-tilting towns in Essex, Hudson, southern Bergen and Passaic counties were cut out. To make up for the loss in population, the district was pushed further west to include all of heavily Republican Morris County. It also absorbed several equally Republican areas in Sussex and Warren counties and retained the more Republican areas of Essex County. Gallo immediately entered the race; the redrawn 11th included his home in Parsippany. Minish was thought to face very difficult odds for reelection, but opted to run in the 11th after considering a run in another district.

Ultimately, Gallo defeated Minish by 27,624 votes, 133,662 (56%) to 106,038 (44%). He was undoubtedly helped by Ronald Reagan's landslide reelection bid that year. Gallo's campaign was managed by Assemblyman (and later Congressman) Bob Franks. He was easily re-elected in 1986, 1988, 1990 and 1992 in what became one of the most Republican districts in the Northeast. Gallo served on the House Appropriations Committee, and joined the House Republican leadership as a Deputy Minority Whip.

In 1994, Gallo faced a primary challenge from Dr. Joseph Pennacchio, a considerably more conservative Republican. Pennacchio spent over $200,000 of his own money attacking Gallo. Gallo won 26,492 (65.28%) to 10,917 (26.90%) in a four-candidate race.

Personal life
Gallo had been treated for prostate cancer in 1992 and the cancer returned in 1994. He withdrew as a candidate for re-election on August 29, 1994, and died on November 6, 1994, at age 58. Assemblyman Rodney Frelinghuysen was named to replace Gallo on the ballot, and was elected two days after Gallo's death.

The Dean and Betty Gallo Prostate Cancer Center at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey is named in his honor.

Menzies Aviation

John Menzies Ltd. is an aviation services business providing aircraft ground handling services, through its subsidiary Menzies Aviation Ltd. The company also provides air cargo services through its subsidiary Air Menzies International. The company is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom.

On 4 August 2022, Agility Logistics acquired the company and announced that it would begin to integrate its operations with its National Aviation Services subsidiary, and rebrand the combined business as Menzies Aviation.

History
The company was founded by a bookseller, John Menzies, with his first shop in Princes Street, Edinburgh, in 1833. In 1941, the company's branch in Greenock was destroyed in the Greenock Blitz.

Menzies bookshops and newsagents spread across the United Kingdom, often located at railway stations. The company acquired other operators such as Wyman & Sons in 1959.

In January 1998, the company closed its principal branch in Edinburgh, although the head office continued to occupy the building. The whole retail operation was sold to WHSmith in May 1998, to enable Menzies to concentrate on its distribution business.

In January 2007, the company merged its newspaper and magazine wholesale distribution businesses in Northern Ireland into a joint venture with Eason & Son, which became known as EM News Distribution; the company acquired the 50% it did not own in May 2017.

On 31 January 2017, Menzies Aviation completed the acquisition of specialist aircraft fueller Aircraft Services International (ASIG) from BBA Aviation for US$202m. After a planned merger between the Menzies Distribution and the DX Group collapsed in August 2017, the company announced, in July 2018, that it had sold the distribution division to private equity company Endless, with the former owner retaining a 10% share in the business.

On 27 March 2020, the company confirmed it had been badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and reduced its headcount by over 17,500. The number of flights Menzies handled globally fell by 60% during the second quarter 2020.

In April 2022, Menzies Aviation acquired Santiago-based ground and air cargo handling services company, Agunsa Aviation Services.

In August 2022, Agility Logistics acquired the company for £571 million stating it intended to merge its operations with its National Aviation Services subsidiary.

In February 2023, it was announced Menzies Aviation had acquired a majority stake in the Jamaican ground and cargo handling company, AJAS Limited.

Syd Barrett
You seem to be in the early stage of a potential reversion war on the Syd Barrett page. You say the issue of the painters category is discussed elsewhere, please could you point out where this discussion is?

Thankyou, SimonMayer 01:53, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Any possibility you could add some words in the article about the 35 years of painting ... then this categorisation dispute might just go away? --Tagishsimon

 * I concur. You linked to Category talk:Art but there is no proof there other than your assertion, Andy. Why not update the article with some facts and then add the category, if it is even necessary. If he is in fact a painter, is he well known or famous for his painting? I think the fact that he is british, painting and famous have nothing to do with each other, making the categorisations unnecessary. MDCore 10:54, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Andy... can't you rather discuss this issue constructively instead of reverting with a sarcastic comment? Let's rather talk and come to concensus; lets build concensus. I, and from comments here it seems many others, want to discuss this minor edit with you. Snide comments and an "I don't answer to anyone" attitude are unnecessary. Please reply to this and the previous two comments. MDCore 15:13, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

LOTR Birmingham
Hello, can you please explain why you want to include the LotR in the literature from Birmingham category? The book was not written there. Anárion 15:21, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * SeeCategory:Literature from Birmingham, England Andy Mabbett 15:34, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * If you want to make a category about "Literature written in, about, or influenced by Birmingham, England", then start a category with that name (but don't wonder if people start complaining about that category as well). The Lord of the Rings was not written in Birmingham, so please stop this. You broke the three revert rule again by the way, and I'm not gonna revert you just because I don't want to do the same. --Conti|✉ 15:52, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

i hate to agree with andy but without seeing the article... the lord of the rings WAS massivly influenced by bham and the book may possibly have been written in tolkiens mind whilst in brum (which at that time would have been quite rural)/ user:Nick Boulevard

I hate to point this out; actually no, I take satisfaction in pointing this out: Tolkien grew up in Birminham at the orphanage where he met Edith and was raised by this Priest-mentor, but he didn't move back there after World War I.  Tolkien was an Oxford don for many years after that. Birmingham in its original urban state probably did influence Tolkien model of what "the Shire" would look like; an idealized concept of his rural Midlands home. However much of the formative events that took place in Tolkien's life---events which would shape his worldview in LOTR---had nothing to do with Birminham. Tolkien in later life would take hikes through the Black Forest of Germany, and would going climbing in the Alps; this real-world familiarity with such geographical forms probably shaped his ideas of Fangorn, Mirkwood, and the White Mountains, etc. Most important is Tolkien's experience in World War I and the Battle of the Somme ''Which had nothing to do with Birmingham! This questioning of morality--all but one of his close friends was dead by war's end---drastically shaped his views. Further, the Icelandic sagas, Norse legends, langauges and other myths that shaped LOTR don't have anything to do with Birmingham. Further, Tolkien did not write LOTR while he was in Birmingham; Tolkien began writing while on leave during World War I; Tolkien wrote didn't write even the first page of the Silmarillion until after he had left Birmingham. At best, you could say that it is "a book by an author who spent his childhood in Birmingham" (note; not "an author born in Birmingham, Tolkien was born in South Africa).

Further, in no way do the towers in Birmingham represent the "Two Towers" of the books. Tolkien himself said the title was imposed by the publishers and that in fact her really didn't settle on which Two Towers they were even when people asked; a combination of any two of a set of five towers could be it; Cirith Ungol, Minas Morgul, Minas Tirith, Orthanc, and Barad-dur. But the name wasn't made up until well after he had written the book. Further, I assume that the "two towers" you mention being visible in Birmingham are near each other, as were the twin towers; None of these two towers is near each other at all; standing on one of these towers, it is impossible to see any of the others. They are hundreds of miles apart. Read the books. --Ricimer Sept 27, 2004

Just to notice you. I've put this case to Request for comment (again). Let's see what others think of your categorization. :-) --Conti|✉ 23:53, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)

 * "reductio ad absurdum. Andy Mabbett 09:49, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC) :
 * Just to clarify on this old thread (since it's still there), reductio ad absurdum is a LOGICAL way of proving things. The word absdurd refers to the use of extremes to prove a point, not that the argument itself is absurd. As the page you linked states, it is one of logic and maths finest weapons ;) --Sketchee 06:50, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)--Sketchee 06:44, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Jools Holland
Hi Andy,

I'm curious to know why you chose to add Jools Holland to Category:Architects whilst ignoring several more relevant categories such as Category:British musicians. Jools Holland is not at all known for being an architect, does not appear to have qualified as an architect and does not seem to have contributed anything to the field of architecture. -- Solipsist 16:51, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * He's an architect. If you want to add him to other categories also, please go right ahead. Andy Mabbett 17:12, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi,

I figure the best way of finding out whether we continue with the Linux comparison of XP Starter Edition is to take a straw poll. I've started one on Talk:Windows XP. Would you be willing to cast your vote? This might make things a bit clearer, and maybe help stop a revert war! :-)

Just a pointer to a site I find very useful when I need to look at a subscription (paid or otherwise, I believe) web site. I'm not suggesting its inclusion in any of the Wikipedia pages, but I thought I remembered an earlier discussion you had regarding deletion of articles to news sources which required a subscription.

There is another article on Britain's canal network which lists all Britain's canals, and details abandoned and proposed routes.

Article Licensing
I've "started" the Free the Rambot Articles Project which aims to get users to release all of their contributions to the U.S. state, county, and city articles (if any) under the CC-by-sa 1.0 and 2.0 license (at minimum) or into the public domain if they prefer. A secondary, but equally important, goal is to get those users to release ALL of their edits for ALL articles. I've personally chosen to multi-license all of the rambot and Ram-Man contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License so that other projects, such as WikiTravel, can use our articles. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at minimum those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the   template (or even    for public domain) on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case, since the number of your edits is in the top 100. If you do want to do it, simply just copy and paste one of the above two templates into your user page and it will allow us to track those users who have done it. For example:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people do or don't like to do, see Multi-licensing), you could replace   with    -- Ram-Man 23:55, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)

 * Just to second that, Andy... you are your own worst enemy sometimes, I am sure you could be a likeable character but sometimes you seem to rub people up the wrong way (maybe unintentional I'm not sure?)

 * A classic example, I was reading your talk page on LOTR, i commented in your favour becuase I agreed with you but then I left the page for ages, if you had let me know I would have stuck up for you further as I happened to agree with you, none of us are perfect but...

Cold War
You know, rather than reverting, you could respond to all my postings explaining why that 'sixteen known crises' articles is inherently problematic.

 * First, the results of the VfD are irrelevant to the inclusion of that article in the list in Cold War. Notice that the list of related articles only includes the broadest of history entries related to the topic, rather than just about any article that could be placed in Category:Cold War. Second, the outcome of VfD is only going to decide whether the entry is merged or deleted. No one has (or can, given the content policies) argue for keeping the article as it stands right now as a self-standing encyclopedic entry. Since keeping the article is not an option, the only remaining two options (merge or delete) have nothing to do with the decision to redirect. The article can still be either merged or deleted regardless of the redirect. 172 11:05, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I see that you are still editing other articles but haven't responded to me. I can only assume now that you have read my reply, found it satisfactory, and will thus not revert me when I redirect the article again and take the link out of the Cold War entry. 172 11:44, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Queen's Royal College

Queen's Royal College (St.Clair, Trinidad), referred to for short as QRC, or "The College" by alumni, is a secondary school in Trinidad and Tobago. Originally a boarding school and grammar school, the secular college is selective and noted for its German Renaissance architecture, academic performance and alumni representation in sports, politics and science in Trinidad and Tobago and globally.

History
The origin of QRC goes back to the Stuart Grammar School, at the corner of Duke and Edward Street in Port of Spain, whose Principal was Edward Stuart. In 1859, when a new "collegiate school" was being contemplated, Stuart was invited by the colonial government to be part of the enterprise. The Queen's Collegiate School opened later that year opposite what is now Lord Harris Square, then known as Billiards Orchard. QRC was originally a fee paying (British public school American private) school and was expressly secular.

The intention was, as Governor Arthur Hamilton-Gordon told the Legislative Council in 1870, "that its advantages should be open to those of every race and every religion, and that the education given should be of a decidedly superior character."

In 1870, the school became the Queen's Royal College and was housed in the supper room of the Prince's Building.

When the Government Farm moved from St Clair in 1899, part of the land was reserved as a new home for QRC through the intervention of acting Governor Sir Micah Fields.

The school, referred to in those days as Royal College, had 120 pupils, who did not wear a uniform but had to wear a hat or cap bearing the college crest. They learned algebra, geometry, arithmetic, Latin, French, English, geography, history and Greek or Spanish.

Today in Queen's Royal College uniforms are worn, and QRC projects and involvements usually involve a blue theme, due to the uniform of blue shirt jack and long khaki pants. In 2009, the school implemented a new dress uniform for formal occasions.

Its principal is David Simon.

Architecture and history of the main block
The foundation stone was laid on 11 November 1902 by Courtney Knollys, who was the acting Governor of the day. The structure was designed by Daniel M. Hahn, who was Chief Draughtsman of the Public Work Department and an Old Boy of Queen's Royal College, during the period when the school was housed at the Princess Building. He is also noted for designing the nations Parliament building the Red House. The architecture of the building is German Renaissance in style, evident by the solid appearance. Constructed at a cost of 15000 British pounds, 1,845,000.00 British pounds adjusted for inflation, the original building accommodated six classes for 30 boys each. The lecture hall could hold over five hundred persons at a time.

General information

The main building itself is one of the Magnificent Seven, a group of historic buildings built in the early 1900s. The North and South buildings, known as the North Block and Science Block respectively, were built during the late 1930s. The school has its own pavilion and canteen, both located on the edge of its field, used in all seasons for various sports.

Classes
Queen's Royal College, as a secondary school in Trinidad & Tobago consists of classes from Form One through Form Six. The school can be termed a "seven-year" school but qualification into Form Six is based on the student's performance at the CSEC (Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate) examinations. Classes are categorized by name according to the word "ROYAL" but now excludes the letter "A", which was used for an accelerated class to what was then the GCE O-Level that students sat after four years rather than the usual five. Form One consists of three classes, 1R, 1O and 1Y whereas, Forms 2 through 5 consists of xR, xO, xY and xL where x represents the class number. All students in each class from forms 2–upper 6 are in the same school house. External students can also gain access into the Sixth Form Level based on their qualifications and other academic factors. On average, up to ten external students enter the Sixth Form level per year.

Subjects offered at Form Six level
The following subjects apply to both Lower Six (year one) and Upper Six (year two). Subjects are usually divided into Unit 1 and Unit 2 with the exclusion of Caribbean Studies which is usually assigned to the first year in Form Six or Lower Six and Communication Studies to the second year in Form Six or Upper Six. All subjects are of the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) format and students are allowed to do a minimum of four subjects, but exceptions are sometimes accepted.

For example, House Naipaul Murray is named after Sir Vidia Naipaul FRAS TC and Deryck Murray.

Houses compete in internal Competitions Cross Country and "One Lap Savannah", to win points for their house leading up to Sports Day. Sports Day is a yearly series of competitive games in track and field, water polo, marathon and March Pass.

Leading up to Sport Day, each house has designated days for bake sales to raise funds for march pass uniforms. House captains are appointed to organize athletes and train persons in marching. Teachers are also designated houses yearly based on the house of their form class. It is customary for all form one students to March, and for forms 2–upper 6 it is voluntary.

Houses also compete in the yearly Royal Games that include Royal League (Soccer) and Royal Hoops (Basketball).

$s?
A number of the amounts quoted in the article are given (apparently) in dollars (although some are, as one might expect, quoted in Euros). Surely this is a typographical error, and the amounts quoted in dollars really are Euro amounts?

Biography assessment rating comment
The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- KenWalker | Talk 02:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

"came to the United States" is a sentence that disrupts the neutrality required in an encyclopedia. I have substituted it by "moved to the United States"

The page on the totient function says it was invented by Euler. Unless I hear otherwise I will remove the relevant phrase from this article.Ignoramibus

 * I checked few other sources like MathWorld, etc. and it is definitely true that Euler invented the function itself. On the other hand, Sylvester might have named it.  I will make a small editorial change to clarify this.  Mhym 02:04, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Sylvester's residence
The box says that his residence was in the United States. Since he lived in the US twice, once for six months and the other time for about seven years, and otherwise lived in England, I am changing this to UK. Jhobson1 (talk) 17:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Chebyshev–Sylvester constant
The Chebyshev–Sylvester constant link goes to Prime Number Theorem and neither Sylvester nor his C-S constant are mentioned on that page. Some disentangling or rewriting would seem in order... Jamesdowallen (talk) 17:30, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Place of death
The Times obit gives the street in Mayfair, London where Sylvester died (around the corner from his favourite retreat, the Athenaeum); is it likely that while on his death bed he nipped back to Oxford for a quick lecture and failed to use his return ticket? Chrysippo (talk) 15:48, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I have checked the deaths register, and his death was registered in the district of St George's, Hanover Square, London. It is certain, therefore, that he died in London, and I have made the necessary edit to the article. Franhigg (talk) 14:26, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Achievements
I would like to see a summary of Sylvester's principal mathematical achievements, with references. Mathbird (talk) 21:36, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation page for Cathedral of San Salvador
hey Rapomon - firstly, your English is fine! Secondly, I'm sorry about moving the article back, I didn't realise there was a second cathedral of that name. I've now made a disambiguation page at Cathedral of San Salvador just as you suggested. For your info; you can create a disambiguation page just like any other page. Include the relevant text, and relevant links, and at the bottom you may wish to include the template so that it is clear the page is intended as a disambiguation page. Also, it would have been preferable to move the old page to Cathedral of San Salvador (Oviedo), rather than copying and pasting, since this would preserve the edit history. You can do this by clicking "move" at the top of any page.

Thanks for your contributions, hope this helps! UkPaolo 13:08, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

 * In general it is not permitted to simply copy content from a web page, even if there is no copyright notice on that site (which is what I suppose you mean by "not protected"). See copyright for more on our copyright policy. As far as I could see, only the "objectives" were directly copied from the Firebird Foundation web site. i edited the page to make it celar that these are directly quoted. If any other contenr is copied form this or any other site, it should be rewritten. otherwise it may well be delted as a copyright violation.

Salamanca
What do you mean "it is the main article?" There are other Salamanca articles that are also of rather moderately-known place. There are two municipalities in New York with the name Salamanca, for instance. "The main article" is simply your opinion, which, in my own, is slightly skewed by the fact that you come from Spain. Please respond on my talk page so I know what you have to say. JHMM13 (T | C)  20:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC) Salamanca is the most important article of the list, it's like London or Madrid, or Berlin, not Berlin, Germany. Salamanca is the place most important of the list, and not for be a spanish man. It's only my opinion. You can revert it if you want, but we have to change all the links of wikipedia refering to Salamanca, Spain. --Rapomon 20:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
