naming
Interesteing category. Are there any thoughts on possibly renaming to Category:Articles containing multiple people, or something similar? To limit confusion of what the category is used for, before actually visiting it. Some editors will just see if a category exists before using it, and never actually look whats in it. I am not sure if there was any previous discussion on this, before it was created. Wanted to make an informal comment instead of Cfr. <> Who ? ¿ ? 05:15, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * No problem if you want to rename it. Personally I prefer shorter category names and one might want to avoid "article" in the category name. If you look at the description or are already in the article itself, the current title may be fairly clear.
 * Some of the articles could probably go into more specific categories (twins, pairs, brothers, etc.). All of these are a bit of a problem for the year of birth/death categories. -- User:Docu
 * I actually prefer shorter names myself, just trying to think of any possible problems for the future. I think you described it quite well in the category itself. More of a question than a suggestion, either way, I think it was a good category to have.   <> Who ? ¿ ?  05:32, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Whether this is a sensible category or not can be assessed by scanning the list of articles it appears to bring together in this fashion. --Wetman 19:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

{R from people}
How should template R from people be used in contrast to R from person?

Consider : Does John paul george ringo belong here? That makes sense to me. Most or all of the others seem to be.

Stanley Hilton

Stanley G. Hilton is an author and former attorney from San Francisco.

Hilton filed a $7 billion class action lawsuit, in 2002, against United States President George W. Bush, members of his administration (including Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld) and others. The lawsuit was composed of 400 plaintiffs, including 14 families of 9/11 victims, with two named plaintiffs representing the class. The lawsuit alleged Bush administration complicity in allowing the September 11, 2001 attacks. The case was dismissed on Dec 30, 2004, with the judge ruling that US citizens do not have any right to sue a sitting president, based on the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity; that the lawsuit "presents a non-justicable political question;" that the plaintiffs "lack standing to sue on behalf of all taxpayers;" that the plaintiffs "failed to establish the required causal connection between [their] alleged injuries and these defendants' conduct;" and that "deficiencies of the complaint could not be cured by amendment." In June 2012, he was disbarred from practicing law in California.

Education and early life
Hilton is a native San Franciscan who graduated from Lowell High School (1967) in San Francisco, University of Chicago (BA 1971 and graduate school 1971–72), Duke University School of Law (JD 1975), and Harvard Business School (MBA 1979). He also attended Oxford University (in England, 1970) and JFK School of Government at Harvard University (1984–85).

Background
Stanley Hilton is also an author having written four books, including an unauthorized biography, Bob Dole, American Political Phoenix (1988); Senator for Sale (1995), another biography which purports to reflect Hilton's deep animus towards Dole, Glass Houses (1998), about congressional sex scandals; and To Pay or Not to Pay (2003).

Hilton is a resident of Hillsborough, California, and in 2009 he sued San Francisco International Airport, 62 foreign and domestic airlines, the Town of Hillsborough, and San Francisco and San Mateo Counties for jet noise and air pollution and public nuisance caused by reverse jet engine propulsion on takeoff from the Northeast runway at San Francisco International Airport. In 1995 he ran for Hillsborough school board.

Hilton has sued major banks for "predatory and fraudulent mortgage lending practices", accusing them of systematically bypassing and violating state and federal laws and being unable to prove assignment of loans. He has called for a complete collapse of the foreclosure "racket scam banking business" and called for its replacement by a new system of "Honest People's Banks."

Disbarment
After several prior suspensions by the California State Bar, Hilton was disbarred from practicing law on June 16, 2012, for misconduct.

Picard went by Emile, not Charles Emile
Hi, Cutler, good catch. I was trying to make the link read "Emile Picard", because as my citations show, that is the name he went by. But the biography, not improperly, uses his full name, Charles Emile Picard. I think that in cases like this, we want to cite the name the historical character was best known by, but of course we want to make sure the reader gets to the correct article. I think the solution I just entered solves this problem and serves as a model for similar cases in the future.

Moveable, not removeable
Hi, Oleg,

Thanks, but I did mean to say moveable rather than removeable. Despite the similar appearance of these two nouns, they denote completely different notions! So I changed removeable singularity back to moveable singularity ---3 July 2005 06:18 (UTC)

Graphs
Would it be too much to ask to make some graphs for these interesting functions? --HappyCamper 18:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I've made two graphs, for types I and II. Reyk  YO!  11:12, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Surely theses graphs are a joke? These are nonlinear complex differential equations, so just drawing one graph captures very little of their behavior. Maybe remove the graphs, or draw many many more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.199.2.16 (talk) 10:42, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Tim Kurkjian

Tim Kurkjian (born December 10, 1956) is a Major League Baseball (MLB) analyst on ESPN's Baseball Tonight and SportsCenter. He is also a contributor to ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com.

On December 7, 2021, Kurkjian was named the recipient of the BBWAA Career Excellence Award for, presented annually by the Baseball Writers' Association of America and officially awarded during induction ceremonies for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Family and early life
Kurkjian was born in Bethesda, Maryland, to Badrig "Jeff" Kurkjian, a mathematician, and Joyce "Joy" Kurkjian. Badrig's parents settled in Watertown, Massachusetts, after the Armenian genocide, while Joyce was born in England. Badrig was a statistician who earned degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, George Washington and American Universities, taught at the University of Alabama, was the chief mathematician for the United States Army Materiel Command and was a fellow with the American Statistical Association. He was also an avid baseball fan who instilled in his son his love of both the sport and of statistics from a young age. According to Kurkjian, his family constantly talked and thought about baseball. Both of Kurkjian's older brothers played college baseball for the Catholic University Cardinals and were inducted into that school's athletics hall of fame. In his youth, in addition to playing baseball, young Kurkjian collected baseball cards, played tabletop baseball games and read anything baseball-related that he could.

Kurkjian attended Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, where he played on the school's basketball and baseball teams. At the suggestion of his basketball coach, Kurkjian began writing for the student newspaper, The Pitch, and the school's yearbook, "The Wind-up." He eventually became the sports editor of The Pitch and realized that journalism would be the surest means of fulfilling his childhood dream of making a living in professional sports. He graduated from the school in 1974.

Journalism career
In 1974, Kurkjian enrolled at the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism. While at Maryland, Kurkjian covered high school sports for his hometown newspaper, the Montgomery Journal. Immediately after graduating from Maryland with a B.A. in journalism in 1978, Kurkjian took an entry-level position with the Washington Star. By 1981, he became a staff writer. When the Star folded that year, he took a position with the Baltimore News-American. That paper also went out of business within two months of Kurkjian's arrival. He began covering baseball as the Texas Rangers beat writer for The Dallas Morning News where he worked from 1981 to 1985. Kurkjian then covered the Baltimore Orioles for The Baltimore Sun beginning in 1986. He was a senior writer for Sports Illustrated from 1989 to 1997. In 1997, Sports Illustrated reassigned him to covering basketball. He served in this capacity for six months before accepting a job at ESPN as a baseball writer and television journalist in 1998 at 40 years old.

He authored his first book, America's Game, in 2000 and released his second book, Is This a Great Game, or What?: From A-Rod's Heart to Zim's Head—My 25 Years in Baseball in May 2007. In 2016, he published his book I'm Fascinated by Sacrifice Flies: Inside the Game We All Love. He was the 1999, 2007, and 2023 Commencement speaker at his alma mater, Walter Johnson High School, the 2008 speaker at Seneca Valley High School, and also delivered the winter commencement speech at the University of Maryland on December 19, 2007.

In 2012, while Kurkjian and fellow ESPN analyst John Kruk were on their annual bus tour around the spring training facilities, a new craze was created called Kurkjianing where players would impersonate Tim Kurkjian during interviews. Some of the players that did this were Tim Dillard of the Brewers, J. P. Arencibia of the Rangers, and Elliot Johnson of the Rays.

Kurkjian is a regular correspondent on ESPN Radio; he was frequently featured on the former SVP & Russillo show hosted by Scott Van Pelt and Ryen Russillo. One element of this that has proved popular with listeners is when Van Pelt reads out names of American sports stars in a comedic Baltimore accent, often making Kurkjian crease with laughter. Examples can be found on the ESPN website. Since Van Pelt's departure from his radio slot to anchor the late night SportsCenter show, the mantle of making Kurkjian laugh has been taken up by The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, which uses its meme of people in the sports world, be they players, coaches or officials, who look like non-sporting people in mundane or ridiculous situations.

On September 29, 2020, Kurkjian helped commentate the American League Wild Card Series postseason game between the Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins alongside play-by-play announcer Karl Ravech and analyst Eduardo Pérez. Airing on ABC, the game marked the first time that the network broadcast a Major League Baseball game since Game 5 of the 1995 World Series.

Personal life
On November 26, 1983, Kurkjian married Kathleen Patrick. Kathy is a lawyer. The couple has one daughter, Kelly, a creative director at a marketing agency, and one son, Jeff, who co-hosts The Andie Summers Show on WXTU radio in Philadelphia. Both Kelly and Jeff graduated from Syracuse University. His cousins are Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Stephen Kurkjian and Bob Kurkjian, an engineering teacher at the Learning Prep School in West Newton, MA.

On every day of the Major League Baseball season, from 1990 through 2009, Kurkjian cut every MLB box score out of a newspaper and taped them into a spiral notebook. Kurkjian estimates that this daily task, at 15 minutes per day over 20 seasons, consumed 40 days of his life. He stopped doing this due to the lack of newspapers printing box scores.

Quechan people → Quechan – Target title is currently only redirect to current title, created on May 17, 2011 by Kwami in moving "Quechan" to "Quechan people", without comment or discussion. The standalone title had stood since the first version of the article by fredbauder on June 19, 2002, almost nine years of stability at that title before it was arbitrarily moved. As per closures of similar RMs in recent days by Cuchulainn and others, "consensus has spoken" that the people are the PRIMARYTOPIC, as stated by him here re the Northern Tutchone title.

Little David

Little David was the nickname of an American 36 in caliber mortar designed to breach the Siegfried Line and then used for test-firing aerial bombs during World War II. With the same calibre as the British Mallet's Mortar, constructed in May 1857, it is one of the largest-calibre guns ever built, having a larger calibre than both of Germany's Schwerer Gustav and Dora which were 31.5 in railway guns.

History
The mortar was developed as an extension of a previous proposal to destroy heavy concrete fortifications such as the Siegfried Line with massive plastic explosive charges delivered by rocket or bomb. During a discussion between representatives of the Ballistic Research Laboratory and the Office of the Chief of Ordnance it was suggested that instead of dropping such a charge from an airplane, it could be fired from a mortar. Development began of a 914 mm siege mortar firing a 3650 lb shell. The mortar's base was a large steel box that was placed below ground, with its top flush with the surrounding surface, allowing the mortar's muzzle to be lowered horizontal for loading at ground level. After the Siegfried Line was breached with conventional forces, Little David was instead considered for use against the extremely strong fortifications during the expected invasion of Japan. The decision was made to test for this purpose, but the end of the war also removed all need for Little David to be deployed. The mortar was able to be transported as a two-piece mobile unit, consisting of the 80000 lb barrel and the 93000 lb base transported by two M25 tractors. In addition to the two main loads, the Little David unit would also include a bulldozer and crane with bucket to dig the emplacement for the mortar's base.

The huge mortar could be ready to fire in 12 hours. The largest (800 mm) known German artillery weapons were hauled on 25 railway cars and required three weeks to put in firing position, but had a longer range of 47 km compared to the 9.7 km of Little David.

Little David was by calibre one of the largest artillery pieces ever produced, although Dora fired a heavier shell. Little David's overall effectiveness would have been questionable because of its limited range and accuracy. When Japan surrendered, the invasion became unnecessary, and Little David (still in its trial phase) never saw combat.

With the closure of the Aberdeen Proving Ground Ordnance Museum and relocation to Fort Lee, the status of Little David was previously in doubt as only restored pieces made the transfer.

As of September 2023 Little David has been moved to the new museum location and is slated to undergo restoration prior to display.

Talk:William Stringfellow

William Stringfellow Homosexuality
I think the entry also should mention William Stringfellow homosexuality, due to the importance that this specific matter has assumed to contemporary Christianity. From what its known Stringfellow adopted a "middle of the road" approach to the matter, opposing homosexuals discrimination but also at least the most immoral homosexual behaviour. He is believed to have been celibate, even in his longtime relationship with Anthony Towne. This source can be used to improve the entry on this subject: .Mistico (talk) 01:32, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Relationship with Anthony Towne
About the question of the nature of William Stringfellow relationship with Anthony Towne, this what he stated: "The question of Stringfellow’s sexuality has been taken up by Marshall Ron Johnston in his fascinating PhD thesis entitled ‘Bombast, Blasphemy, and the Bastard Gospel: William Stringfellow and American Exceptionalism’ (Baylor University, 2007). In his thesis, Johnston notes that ‘while it is true that fundamentalists and many evangelicals would have rejected Stringfellow’s thought outright in light of his homosexuality, he seemed to have managed to keep that fact of his life private, identifying himself in many forums as “celibate by vocation”’./ Johnston recalls Stringfellow’s thorough engagement in his two passions – religion and politics. He writes that Stringfellow’s interest in issues of faith were transformed from one of intellectual absorption to one of existential centrality, and that Stringfellow credited this transformation to the awareness that while religion must be intellectually respectable, it ‘must also provide the core and motivation of one’s whole life’. While Stringfellow does refer to an ‘unusually close relationship with another fellow’ (i.e. Anthony Towne, whom he would later refer to as ‘my sweet companion for seventeen years’. A Simplicity of Faith, 115. This was, in Anthony Dancer’s words, the ‘closest Stringfellow ever came to becoming uncloseted’), he also confesses their decision that their friendship would not endure if it were self-centered, but only if it were God-centered./ Johnston contends that Stringfellow never openly declared his homosexuality, and recounts Andrew McThenia’s observation that ‘the taking up of joint residency with Anthony Towne was Stringfellow’s “first and only ‘public’ acknowledgement” of his sexual orientation’. Of course, those who have read Stringfellow’s Instead of Death will recall his description of himself as vocationally committed to celibacy (p. 10). As for Stringfellow’s relationship with Towne, in a memorial address entitled ‘The Felicity of Anthony Towne’, Stringfellow stated that Towne’s ‘vocation – as that may be distinguished from his occupation – was, in principle, monastic, as is my own’ (A Simplicity of Faith, 52). Parenthetically, he added, ‘That is the explanation of our relationship’ (A Simplicity of Faith, 52). Mistico (talk) 14:56, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Postage stamps and postal history of French Polynesia

This is a survey of the postal history and postage stamps of French Polynesia, formerly known as the French Oceania.

The first postage stamps used in French Polynesia were the general stamps of the French Colonies from 1862.

In 1882 a shortage of 25c stamps necessitated a surcharge on less-used values. Some of the surcharges also included the name "TAHITI". This happened again in 1884 with 5c and 10c values.

Stamps inscribed "Établissements de l’Oceanie" (French Settlements in Oceania) became available in 1892 with the Navigation and Commerce issue.

In 1893, two kinds of overprint were applied to the remaining stocks of regular and postage due French Colonies stamps; one type was a slanted overprint reading "TAHITI" and the other was a horizontal "1893 / TAHITI". For some values of stamps, very few were left to be overprinted, and genuine overprints are quite rare, the rarest being the horizontal overprint on the 25c yellow at around US$20,000.

In 1903, due to a shortage of 10c stamps, stamps of French Oceania were overprinted "TAHITI" and surcharged with new face values. Stamps of French Oceania also received a red cross and "TAHITI" overprint in 1915 for use as semi-postal stamps.

Stamps since 1958 have been inscribed "French Polynesia".

Seems a little too much like vanity to me. I fail to see how it would meet conditions of Importance so I'm putting it up on VfD. I abstain. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 05:33, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Anybody else think RickK is being a trifle sarcastic? As much as I like keeping academics, he really isn't exceptionally notable. --Scimitar 14:36, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete no case for notability in the article. --Etacar11 23:21, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete sad to see another case of unhelpful sarcasm from RickK. Obviously, if Schools are kept, that is less of a reason to keep even marginally notable personnel, who might be included in the school article. Xoloz 04:08, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, agree with Rick although this article is borderline at best. JamesBurns 06:40, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * When it comes to schools, I am neither a "deletionist" nor an "inclusionist" -- I may never vote on one. I think it'll be quite sad, though, if Wikipedia expands to include more articles of questionable notability because of a rise in sarcastic/"cutting-off-the-nose-to-spite-the-face" votes.  I suspect this strategy will only result, eventually, in all teachers being included, because I'm sure many "inclusionists" would rather add teachers then delete schools.  If some voters formerly inveterately opposed to schools honestly believe that school inclusion is logically irreconcilable with teacher deletion, then so be it.  In all earnestness, however, and without personally impugning anybody, I have to wonder about about the sincerity of votes so cast.  Are sarcastic votes bad-faith, and if so, may they be stricken?  I only ask the question. Xoloz 07:01, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * If it was your average school teacher yes I would have voted delete and I normally do. IMO associate professors and some professors are borderline at best - they are slightly above your average school teacher. I guess it raises the question of whether people who vote Keep for all schools are voting to make a point rather than voting on merit? JamesBurns 09:36, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * "Inclusionists" do vote to make a point. They think schools are notable.  This is a debatable issue on which they have good-faith convictions.  A sarcastic vote here is potentially different.  If one really believes in a high bar of notability, but votes contrary to that belief for other reasons (eg. I don't like the guy who voted X, so I vote Y, even though I really believe X), one would be voting in bad faith.  I am not saying this has been done, because I don't know anyone's motivations, but there is a prima facie case for wondering whether it might have happened here, so I raise the concern. I do understand your reasons, and was not wishing to question any specific vote.   I only want to point out how counterproductive sarcastic votes might become if they rise in popularity. Xoloz 09:56, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * We need to be consistant, don't we? If every school is kept, then why aren't the teachers?  They certainly have as much notability as the schools they teach at.  RickK 22:49, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * That is an argument, and if you really believe that, vote away. I must say, though, I find it an extremely unwise argument.  I think most agree that the US Mint is unquestionably notable; every employee is not.  As below, the city of San Francisco is unquestionably notable, but not every city worker is.  Also, see recent vote on Richard J. Doscher in which many, including yourself, felt an employee of Yuba City was not notable, yet Yuba City is. Xoloz 04:17, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, entirely disagree with RickK. Radiant_ >|< 09:29, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: Just because schools are by definition notable, doesn't mean the teachers are. For one, everyone in a town or city might know about a school (in a medium sized city that is around a quarter of a million people, notable enough for me), but they likely won't be able to name the headmaster or teachers. We have companies on here, but we don't list all of their employees. The same should apply to schools, unless the teacher is noted for something. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs, Me 23:36, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Man with My Face (film)

The Man with My Face is a 1951 American film noir directed by Edward Montagne featuring Barry Nelson, Carole Mathews and Lynn Ainley. The film marks Jack Warden's movie debut.

Though the original novel is set in California, the movie takes place in Puerto Rico. It is the only film noir shot on location in that country.

Plot
The film is set in Puerto Rico, where Charles "Chick" Graham (Nelson) has settled down after the war to run a small business with his old army buddy (now his brother-in-law) Buster Cox (Harvey). Graham comes home one evening to find his wife, Cora (Ainley), acting as if he is an insane stranger.

A man who looks exactly like him, Albert "Bert" Rand (Nelson), has taken his place and is playing cards and drinking in his living room. Neither Cora nor Buster — not even Graham's dog — recognizes Graham; they think that he, rather than Rand, is the double.

Meanwhile, his face has shown up on the front page of newspapers as a bank robber in Miami who made off with half a million dollars. As Graham runs from the police, he attempts to solve the mystery with the help of Mary Davis (Mathews), an old girlfriend whom he jilted to marry Cora. Mary's protective brother, Walt Davis (Warden), is wary, but soon joins Graham in trying to figure out the puzzle.

Rand attempts to kill Graham by hiring an attack dog specialist to have a Doberman Pinscher go after him. The evil double has been in on this sinister plan with Cora and her brother, Buster, since before the Grahams' marriage.

Cast

 * Barry Nelson as Charles "Chick" Graham / Albert "Bert" Rand
 * Carole Mathews as Mary Davis
 * Lynn Ainley as Cora Cox Graham
 * John Harvey as Buster Cox
 * Jim Boles as Meadows
 * Jack Warden as Walt Davis
 * Henry Lascoe as The Police Sergeant
 * Johnny Kane as Al Grant
 * Chinita as Juanita
 * Armando Miranda as Nightclub Bartender

Reception
Film critic Dennis Schwartz was lukewarm about the film, writing: "The B film has a good premise over mistaken identity, but a lousy execution. Montagne keeps it good enough as a diversionary time killer, but it's just too bad it never was convincing."

Remakes
It was remade in India in several regional languages, In 1988 it was made in Tamil as Dilly Babu, in 1992 popular director David Dhawan made Bol Radha Bol and in 2017 in Telugu Goutham Nanda. All were blockbuster hits during their releases, while all were unofficial remakes.

Is the picture really useful? I mean, couldn't we get a picture of the Governor-General or the Prime Minister instead? john k 05:34, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've replaced it with a picture of Patterson, who is surely a more important figure in Jamaican politics. john k 05:36, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This thing lacks cited sources!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.191.15.11 (talk • contribs) 16:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Golding isn't the PM (yet)
While it seems Golding's party has won the election he does not become Prime Minister until he's sworn in by the Governor-General. Please don't jump the gun! Also, the current PM is refusing to concede defeat according to press reports so it's possible she will continue as PM until her party is defeated by a vote of confidence in the Jamaican parliament or, more likely, until the recounts are completed. If and when she does concede Golding becomes Prime Minister-designate until he is sworn in. Reginald Perrin 00:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Important notice
The government section of the "Outline of Jamaica" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thehelpfulbot (talk • contribs) 22:03, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

United States Seated Liberty coinage

The Seated Liberty portrait designs appeared on most regular-issue silver United States coinage from 1836 through 1891. The denominations which featured the Goddess of Liberty in a Seated Liberty design included the half dime, the dime, the quarter, the half dollar, and until 1873 the silver dollar. Another coin that appeared exclusively in the Seated Liberty design was the twenty cent piece. This coin was produced from 1875 to 1878, and was discontinued because it looked very similar to the quarter. Seated Liberty coinage was minted at the main United States Mint in Philadelphia, as well as the branch mints in New Orleans, San Francisco, and Carson City.

Background
Mint Director R. M. Patterson sought to change U.S. coinage as early as 1835 from using bust-style designs to something closer to British copper coinage of the era. Engraver William Kneass sketched the initial design, but was unable to complete the project due to a stroke. The design was drawn by Thomas Sully and Titian Peale, and the final engraved design was made by Mint engraver Christian Gobrecht.

Obverse
The basic obverse design of the Seated Liberty coinage consisted of the figure of Liberty clad in a flowing dress and seated upon a rock. In her left hand, she holds a Liberty pole surmounted by a Phrygian cap, which had been a pre-eminent symbol of freedom during the movement of Neoclassicism (and traces its roots back to Ancient Greece and Rome). Although it had fallen out of favor in Europe by 1830, Neoclassicism remained in vogue in the United States until after the American Civil War. Liberty's right hand rested on the top corner of a striped shield with a diagonal banner inscribed with the word "Liberty". The shield represented preparedness in the defense of freedom. The date of the coin appeared on the bottom below Liberty.

Reverse
The basic reverse design of Seated Liberty coins depended on the denomination. The size of half dimes and dimes necessitated a smaller array of elements. On these coins, the reverse consistently featured a wreath around the words "half dime" or "one dime". Before 1860, this wreath consisted of laurel leaves, a traditional Neoclassical image, but beginning that year, the wreath was enlarged and was filled not only with leaves, but also traditional American agricultural products, such as corn and wheat.

On quarter, half dollar, and silver dollar coins, the reverse featured a central eagle about to take flight, with a striped shield upon its breast. The eagle clutched an olive branch of peace in its right talons and a group of arrows in its left talons. Above the eagle around the rim were the words "United States of America" and below the eagle around the rim lay the coin denomination. The design was a version of a John Reich eagle which was originally designed in 1807 for Capped Bust coinage, and redrawn by Gobrecht. Beginning in 1866, the coins featured a ribbon with the motto "In God We Trust" above the eagle.

Stars
When the first Seated Liberty half dimes and dimes appeared in 1837, the obverse contained no stars. There are two varieties; the large date and the small date. For the dime, these two types can be distinguished by noting the "3" and the "7" in the date. In the large date variety, the "3" has a pointed serif at top, and the horizontal element of the "7" is straight. In the small date variety, the "3" has a rounded serif, and there is small a knob, or bulge, in the "7" horizontal element. Only the Philadelphia Mint made both varieties. The small date is slightly rarer. The New Orleans Mint made only one variety. For the half dime, the small date can be distinguished by the fact that it is slightly bent in a "smile" orientation, similar to the Bust type of half dime. The large date can be distinguished by the fact that the date is more in a straight line, similar to dates of later years for the Seated Liberty. Only the Philadelphia Mint made half dimes in this year.

The Liberty Seated dime of 1838 minted in New Orleans was the first U.S. coin struck at a branch mint.

The next year, the coins featured thirteen six-pointed stars around the rim, commemorating the original Thirteen Colonies.

Drapery
The Seated Liberty coins featured a few minor design changes over the years. Around 1840 (the exact date depends upon the denomination), extra drapery was added to Liberty's left elbow.

Arrows and rays
In 1853 and 1873, the U.S. Mint changed the weight of each denomination of silver coins. Both times, arrows were added to the coins on each side of the date. These were removed from coins in 1856 and 1875, respectively. In 1853, the mint also placed rays around the eagle on the reverse of half dollars and quarters, a feature which endured for that one year only.

Legend and mintmarks
In 1860 the U.S. Mint eliminated the stars on the obverse of Seated Liberty half dimes and dimes, replacing them with the legend "United States of America", which had previously appeared around the wreath on the reverse of the coins. Before this time, half dimes and dimes minted in New Orleans and San Francisco had featured their mintmarks inside the wreaths. Afterwards, the "O" and "S" (and, later, the "CC" for Carson City) mintmarks were located below the wreath next to the rim. On quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars, the mintmarks were always placed below the eagle but above the coin currency on the reverse.

Varieties
Many people collect Seated coinage by variety. This can range from a repunched mintmark to the position of a date on the coin to a die crack at various stages. This type of collecting has been popular with Bust half dollars for well over 100 years. Seated coin collecting by variety has grown over the last 30 years with the formation of the Liberty Seated Collectors Club.

End of coinage
The Seated Liberty design remained standard on all American coins ranging from half dimes to half dollars for decades, but by 1879 — the year after the Bland-Allison Act caused a drastic curtailment in the mintages of Seated Liberty half dollars, quarters, and even dimes until 1883, there was increased criticism and calls for its replacement, partially due to changing artistic tastes. Wendell Phillips admonished college students to "sit not, like the figure on our silver coin, ever looking backward." This led to the new "Barber Head" design, approved by President Harrison in 1891 and which began minting a year later, although it too would soon be criticized for "blandness," leading to the Barber coinage's replacement by the Mercury dime, the Standing Liberty quarter, and the Walking Liberty half dollar, all making their debut in 1916 (the Mercury dime included the motto "In God We Trust," making that motto's placement on U.S. coins universal, as the motto was not on the Barber dime, due to space limitations).

Areopoli

Areopoli (Αρεόπολη; before 1912 Τσίμοβα, Tsimova) is a town on the Mani Peninsula, Laconia, Greece.

The word Areopoli, which means "city of Ares", the ancient Greek god of war, became the official name in 1912. It was the seat of Oitylo municipality. The Greek War of Independence was started at Areopoli on March 17, 1821 by Petros Pierrakos, also known as Petros Mavromichalis, the last bey of Mani. Now Areopoli has grown into a flourishing town. Its tower houses, constructed with field stones, are distinct from the traditional blue and white buildings that characterize many Greek villages.

Areopoli is situated near the west coast of the Mani Peninsula, 1.5 km from its port Limeni. It is 20 km southwest of Gytheio. There is lively open air market in the main square each Saturday, with a lot of local producers present.

History
On 17 March 1821, the first flag of the Greek War of Independence was raised in Taxiarchon Square. In June 1826, Ibrahim Pasha landed near Areopoli but was repulsed after a battle at Dyros. By 1829, Areopoli was home to 290 families. Throughout the 19th century and into the mid-20th century, the population of Areopoli fluctuated between 1,100 and 2,000 inhabitants. The settlement expanded eastward, along the main road where a market was established. Following the war, both population and commercial activity declined, yet Areopoli remained the largest settlement in the Mani Peninsula.

Notable people

 * Koulis Alepis (1903-1986), poet
 * Dimitrios Kalapothakis, journalist
 * Stylianos Pierrakos (Stylianos Mavromichalis) (1902–1981), former Prime Minister of Greece
 * Georgios Polymenakos, military officer
 * Gregorios Skalkeas (1926-2018), Chancellor of the University of Central Greece

"is spoken so poorly no one can understand it..."
Am I the only one who takes offense to this statement? It is the least subjective line I've ever read on any Wiki. I've never had any problem communicating with people from other countries and I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and only moved away from there very recently. There are times when I may use a word somebody doesn't understand without noticing (for example, "guiar" in the context of driving, not guiding), but as soon as somebody asks me what I said I quickly use a word they'd recognize ("manejar" or "conducir"). We all have our slip-ups but it's not the lowest of lows in Spanish. Our vocabulary actually parallels official Spanish more than others', while our pronounciation is mostly geared towards saying things as quickly as possible, we know for sure how they are correctly pronounced and written.

Claiming there is such a thing as a "normal Spanish variant" is preposterous. Spanish is Spanish and the main thing we differ in is pronounciation and the rhythm of our speech. I've spoken with Argentinians, Colombians, Mexicans, Dominicans, Ecuatorians, Cubans... and in all cases it was just a matter of getting used to their accents. Answa (talk) 19:38, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Variants of Hispanic English and Spanglish
I'm under the impression that there are also Puerto Rican varieties of Hispanic English and Spanglish.

So far, I know far more about the Spaniards than I do about the Puerto Ricans. Gringo300 05:38, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * You're right, and I'll do my best to address those, somehow. However, it is an extensive topic. The term "Spanglish" was coined by a Puerto Rican, and yet most Spanglish known to Americans has (rather logically) a Mexican/Chicano twist to it. OTOH, Latino English spoken by Puerto Ricans is a topic that has to be developed carefully. I've tried to start with the most basic reference to it: that for Goleta English... Demf 17:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll add a little note to that: There are two definitions of the term "Spaniard"- a nationality and an ethnicity. In the above comments, I meant Spaniards by ethnicity. Gringo300 (talk) 21:18, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Redirect
I removed the following text string:
 * REDIRECT TO Spanish dialects and varieties

--Dpr 03:24, 8 September 2005 (UTC) The real Puerto Rico Spanish comes from Spain. It is pure castillian language approved by the Real Academia del Lenguaje Castellano. The Puerto Rico English comes from England. Both languages are tought in Public and Private schools. It happens in North America and Latin America by slangs, coloquialism and the different socio-economical groups.

Just an observation the topic you are trying to address is very sensitive. It can be taken in a derrogatory manner for both english and spanish speaking persons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.121.80.249 (talk) 06:06, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

So much missing
Why are all the examples in CAPS? Almost none of the linguistic information here is unique to Puerto Rico, so why is this even an entry? This should be part of the Caribbean Spanish page. Moreover, no mention of the Erre/RR [ɾ] to Jota/J [x] switch often done in the Puerto Rican Spanish variant (e.g. rice with beans arroz con habichuelas becomes ajo cong habichuela). Citations also needed for your inferences.
 * I beg to differ. Merely because the topic has not been developed fully (and it is a hard topic to develop, since there's definitely a need for very specific technical info that is mainly the realm of linguists and social studies types) does not mean that it deserves to be deleted. We do agree that it needs to be developed further, however. Besides the basic Spanish language grammar and vocabulary common to everyone who speaks decent Spanish, Puerto Rican Spanish is not at all like that of either Cuba (heavily influenced by Asturian and Galician immigration) or the Dominican Republic (where the Taino and archaic Spanish influences are more pronounced); the accents are different, the influences are not dosed equally for those that are indeed common to the three countries, and are quite different when they do vary. In this article there's no mention about Andalusian influences in Puerto Rican Spanish, for example (I dare to theorize that the Puerto Rican accent is, say, 40% Canary Islander, 25% that of Seville and environs, 25% African, and perhaps the rest a mix of Taino, American English, and other European influences). What you just mentioned above is quite probably a Corsican contribution to Puerto Rican Spanish (believe it or not; a fricative r tends to point more to French than to Spanish, but in Corsica its pronunciation is a bit more sharp), which is more evident in southwestern Puerto Rico, the original settling ground for many Corsicans. Let's keep this, but let's also give it time to rise... Demf 17:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * While you raise many good points, I think your assertion that Puerto Ricans and Cubans and Domincands sounds "nothing" alike is quite absurd. The differences in their accents are quite miniscule to almost non existant. most of the words used in the article are also used in Cuba (im guessing the dominican republic too but I've never been there), maybe with a little variation (it says Puerto Ricans say Jíbaro for the campesinos of Puerto Rico, which sounds very close to the Cuban word for the same, Guajiro). The carribean spanish page is sorely lacking and it would be nice to have either a comprehensive one, or a seperate page for Cuban spanish. I dont feel personally qualified to start it but it would be nice, and I would certainly contribute to it if it existed.

 * You make some bold claims in the previous paragraph, yet you don't support them with evidence. Lack of NPOV rears its ugly head here... 70.45.24.84 18:57, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I have a related point; if there are no objections I would like to remove "NA'MA" and so forth. That section is supposed to be for lexical peculiarities of Puerto Rican speech, which this obviously is not. Phonetic peculiarities had already been covered in another section. Also, if I recall there were a couple of entries in that section which may have belonged there but were spelled in ways presumably designed to evoke the Puerto Rican accent; this practice is infamously unhelpful for the lay reader and of course not the professional practice in linguistics.

While most academic sources, and even the DRAE lists Puerto Rico as indeed having lexical differences and usages, this is a encyclopedia, not a book of lists. While due to the limited audience academic books on the topic are hard to come by, they are indeed available. Maria Vaquero published such a study, and so have others. So I do think the anonymous poster is wrong to minimize the academic views on the differences.

But we are wrong in continuing to publish and add anecdotical, unverifiable, and in general bad quality information to this page. While the page itself is needed, it cannot continue to be in this state of disrepair. I will start to delete all unverifiable information, and verify sources. The article as it stands looks like a second year college paper, and a bad one at that because no sources are cited.

For example, the whole stuff on "Canarian Spanish" is subject to quite a lot of academic debate: Sephardic Jews among others described themselves as "Canarios" to disguise their lack of "Spanish" accent.

If it doesn't get fixed we will have to make deep cuts. I am ashamed of this page.--Cerejota 06:43, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Well actually Dominican Spanish is actually more African influenced than it is Taino. I would say as whole Caribbean Spanish is like this:
 * Puerto Rican Spanish = Heavily Canarian and Analusian Spanish but with some Taino-Arawak sounds and words with very little African influence but many words.

 * Cuban Spanish = Canarian Spanish with influences from Northern and Eastern Spanish dialects from Spain with some Taino and African words.

 * Dominican Spanish = Canarian and Andalusian Spanish but with strong influences from West-Central African langueges in it's sounds, pronunciations, grammer and syntax vocabulary and words, and some words from the Arawak-Taino language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.154.236.130 (talk) 16:18, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Cleanup
I have John Lipski's Latin American Spanish with me, which discusses some of the most notable features (as of the early 1990s or so) of the dialects of each country in Latin America. When I have more time in the next few days, hopefully I'll be able to clean up this article a bit and cite some stuff. Cleanup will be...difficult, though. I'll do what I can! Hopefully! --Miskwito 22:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

 * This will be a much welcome effort. This page is needed, and some of the information is relevant and verifiable, but a lot is hearsay, and original research. If only I had time...--Cerejota 06:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I think it is apparent how unprofessionally written this article is, especially the last section showing some of the meanings of the Puerto Rican dialect. I will come back later to help clean it up. --Dgcaste 09:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Conflicts with this page
After reading the article and the above comments I think I can point out some problems with this article:

First, the list of vocabulary mixes all of the words that are from all influences are included on the list, as well as words that are just the way people pronounce the words whether or not they are influenced by other words from Africa, Tainos, etc. Also, so many examples are not needed, not to mention that not all explanations don't seem accurate nor well stated and of course as everyone has noted there are no citations/references for any of them.

Second, I think there needs to be a separate section on particular pronunciation of the Puerto Rican Spanish (possibly titled Phonology). While it has some similarities with the Spanish from Cuba and the Dominican Republic, a person (at least one from Puerto Rico) can clearly tell the difference from a Cuban, Dominican or Puerto Rican accent. So I disagree with the statement that the differences "are quite miniscule to almost non existent". While it is true that all three cultures have many similarities (the mere fact that all three countries were under Spanish rule at one point is enough), there are still notable differences in each speech and thus the reason why there are three separate articles on each of these variations of Spanish.

A comment on the example given: "rice with beans arroz con habichuelas becomes ajo cong habichuela" I do not think this is an accurate representation of the "rr" since "ajo" is actually another word in Spanish (meaning "garlic") but it is a very true peculiarity in the language which I think should definitely be mentioned in the article and is currently missing. --Madgirl 15 (talk) 10:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

"Dialect"
I'm afraid I have to take issue with this entire article. I know that it is a pervasive misapprehension in the United States that Spanish has many "dialects" throughout the world, but this is simply not true. All the details of variations in pronounciation, and the idiosyncratic words which sometimes appear in everyday Puerto Rican speech, are indeed true as described in the article. But I must emphasize that these phonological variations are trivial, do not denote a true "dialect," and are mainly used in casual, careless speech, much like stateside Americans may use "ain't" and ungrammatical constructions such as "could have did" and "should have went." (The latter two are particularly common, almost universally used, actually, in the region of northwest Florida and southern Alabama, where I reside.)

You would not hear words like "pa" for "para," or r's pronounced as l's in a university lecture, or in a serious news broadcast, for example. Nobody would use such careless language in a job interview, or other formal occassions. Furthermore, the language as written is exactly Spanish and nothing else. It's hardly a dialect if the written form is indistinguishable from the root language.

There are many words that are peculiar to Puerto Rico. Some obvious examples are "guagua" for bus, china (which means "chinese woman") for orange (the fruit, not the color), and "Zafacon" for garbage can (actually a corruption of the English term "safety can."). However, it is important to note that the formal Spanish terms for those items, "autobus", "naranja", etc. are all recognized and used at times also in common speech. The Puerto Rican terms are more common, but are added to the language, they do not supplant the formal Spanish terms.

Much is made also of "spanglish" and other nonsensical notions of how Puerto Ricans speak. It is true that there is a tremendous English influence in Puerto Rico, since it is part of the United States. Thus, many times English words are used, such as "truck" for "camion." Once again, the Spanish word is not lost, and often used, but the English words are sort of thrown in for convenience, as is the habit of attaching a Spanish ending on to an English word, such as "parkear" for "estacionar" (meaning to park a car). Once again, this is just plain sloppy and incorrect speech, NOT A DIALECT OR ANOTHER LANGUAGE, and is recognized as such by all who occassionally indulge in its convenience in informal speech, including this writer. Nobody in his right mind would use such language in a formal occassion, in a serious magazine or journal article, in a book or lecture setting, in short, in any situation where one felt that attention to precise speech was required. It is careless slang pure and simple, and everybody knows it, and nobody is foolish enough (except for stateside Americans) to think it's a separate or distinct language.

Puerto Ricans can speak to any Spanish speaker from any country in the world without a trace of difficulty, and the language is identical. Regional slang and idiosyncratic regional vocabulary are trivial variations and don't interfere with comprehension any more than a person from Alabama would be bewildered because a milk-shake is a "cabinet" in Connecticut. I am in fact a native Spanish speaker from Puerto Rico, I've traveled, and communicated with Spanish speakers in most Latin American countries, and spent time in Spain. I know for a fact, Spanish is Spanish, I don't speak a "dialect," and there is no communication barriers between Spanish speakers anywhere. I recommend that this article be re-titled or revised to reflect that it deals with regional language variations, and that the foolish word "dialect" be removed from it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cd195 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I second the motion. It should be removed. Puerto Rican Spanish is NOT a dialect. I can easily understand people from Spain, and most Central and South American countries. "Variation" or an equivalent to this should be placed instead.--Madgirl 15 (talk) 21:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

As a person from Colombia and having lived in Florida for about 9 years, I can argue against the above opinion that "Puerto Ricans can speak to any Spanish speaker from any country in the world without a trace of difficulty". When I first moved to FL, it took a couple of years (and living with a boyfriend of PR origin) for me to grasp the Spanish they were speaking, otherwise I would have to ask him to translate or to speak slowly. More to the point, there is what is considered by many linguists and scholars to be an English dialect, African American Vernacular English, which may give credence to the "dialect" argument (or it may not, just a thought). Also, there is a Wikipedia article on Caribbean Spanish which explains the change of sounds mentioned earlier, namely "arroz con habichuelas"-->"aXó cong abichuela" (the X being the aspirated J mentioned above). I found that explanation to be very representative of the Puerto Rican Spanish I became accustomed to and have heard from Caribbean Colombians.日本が愛してるよ！ (talk) 10:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

More on "dialect"
If you are Colombian and have difficulty understanding a Puerto Rican, I suggest any of the numerous excellent hearing-aid devices now available. As a matter of fact, Colombian speech is much more similar to Puerto Rican speech than other Latin American accents. As a Puerto Rican, I can usually easily tell if a person speaking Spanish to me is Mexican or Argentinian, but a Colombian sounds pretty much like the Spanish in Puerto Rico. I can't imagine what the person who wrote the above comment can possibly be referring to. She arrives to the US from Colombia and needs a translator to speak to a Puerto Rican? Give me a break! That's ridiculous! Either you are exaggerating for the sake of dramatic emphasis, or you are not a native Spanish speaker, or you have a serious hearing impairment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cd195 (talk • contribs) 05:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with you on this. I am Puerto Rican and you are not referring to Colombians in general. You are referring to those that live on the coast like Baranquilla. They consider themselves Carribean as they had pretty much the same settlers from Spain as we did. Their Spanish is very different from lets say someone from Medellin. They speak a more Castillian Spanish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.14.64.53 (talk) 17:02, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I am speaking of broad linguistic differences, and you are speaking of trivial local variations in colloquial speech. These are two very different things. So-called "Castillian" Spanish is neither a dialect, a separate language, nor "very different" from so-called "Caribbean" Spanish. If you are Puerto Rican, born and raised, and speak Spanish as your first language, you CANNOT tell me that "seseo" throws you for a loop, and that you can't understand someone from Medellin because he might say "vos" instead of "tu" or "usted." Geez, quite feeding this insane myth that Spanish has dialects and a Puerto Rican can't speak to a Spaniard! And you a Puerto Rican, for Pete's sake!

Pure original research
This article sound as pure Original Research. It has been tagged as "in need of sources" since 2007, to no avail. I'll be doing some heavy clean up on it soon. Material that is not supported by reliable sources will be removed. We may end up with a stub, what can be good for a fresh, more cautious, new beginning. --damiens.rf 14:37, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
