Angel Cop

Angel Cop (エンゼルコップ) is a six-part original video animation created and directed by Ichirō Itano. A manga adaptation written and illustrated by Taku Kitazaki was serialized in Newtype in 1989 and collected into a Newtype 100% collection released in April 1990.

Synopsis
The story initially starts by dealing with terrorism at the end of the 20th century, where Japan is the largest economy in the world. The communist radical group, the Red May, are trying to bring down Japan's economy and take over the government. In response, a government agency, the Special Security Force, is formed with the ability to act outside the law. However, when the Red May suddenly find themselves being wiped out, the force discovers that something else is hunting the terrorists.

Characters

 * Yōu "Angel" Mikawa — The main protagonist and title character. A member of the Special Security Force, she initially believes in just getting the job accomplished and not caring who dies. In the end, however, she shows dismay after being forced to kill Raiden. Her story differs in the manga; she becomes cybernetic after being injured in an explosion, in contrast to her anime counterpart who remains human throughout.
 * Isamu "Raiden" Sakada — Angel's assigned partner in the Special Security Force. Injured during a pursuit of the Red May terrorists, he voluntarily allows himself to receive cybernetic enhancements in the anime. His new powers allow him to fight Lucifer to standstill. Afterward, he forces Angel to kill him by causing his suit to detonate, destroying Lucifer in the process. Raiden's story differs in the manga, where Angel becomes cybernetic instead of him.
 * Yuuji "Hacker" Fuse — One of the Special Security agents. As his name implies, he handles hacking duties, but also participates in firefights, being enormously strong and muscled. He is killed when Lucifer takes control of his body and causes him to detonate a grenade in the anime. In the manga, he is killed by Freya.
 * Reika "Peace" — The only other female Special Security agent, Peace handles explosives and is generally paired with Hacker. It is later revealed that she is in love with him. Peace dies when Lucifer drains her mind in the anime. As with Hacker, she is killed by Freya in the manga.
 * Masumi "Kuwata" Hirakawa — Taki's right-hand man, Kuwata appears to be second in command of the Special Security Agency. He is killed by Lucifer for allowing Tachihara to leave the Special Security's building. He wanted an alliance with the hunters shortly before his death.
 * Chief Taki — The head of the Special Security Force, he is responsible for giving his subordinates their orders. In the final episode, he arrives at the main police office to kill Maisaka, but is wounded in the attempt and left to bleed to death; however, he manages to plant a bomb in a tape recorder and escape the building.
 * Ichihara — A scientist for the Ministry of Defense who developed cybernetic technology for the police force. Taki, however, refused to allow Ichihara to test his works on the Special Security agents; nevertheless, Ichihara was able to give Raiden a cybernetic exoskeleton. During the final battle, he was killed when his laboratory exploded by Lucifer's power.
 * Lucifer — The main antagonist, Lucifer is a Hunter, a psychic sent to destroy anyone unjust in the world. Of the three Hunters, Lucifer is the most powerful and the most fanatical, causing a mass pile-up just to catch Tachihara and killing anyone who attempts to aide the Red May terrorists, the Special Service agents included. Her powers are telekinesis and telepathy, and is able to increase her physical and psychic power by sucking electricity. She is finally killed when Raiden's suit detonates in front of her. In the manga, she is killed by a cybernetic Angel.
 * Asura — The first Hunter encountered, Asura possesses psychic powers of teleporting and telekinesis, though the latter not on the same level as Lucifer's. He decides to join up with the Special Security agents after realizing Lucifer went too far in her methods. Asura soon becomes targeted by her, but survives the final encounter. In the manga, Asura never allies himself with the Special Security agents and is shot in the head by Angel.
 * Freya — A young girl Hunter. She possesses pyrokinetic and telepathic powers, and is also capable to create a kinetic shield out of fire. Asura and Freya appear to be very close. She is killed by Lucifer in the anime and Angel in the manga.
 * Maisaka — The main villain, Maisaka is the Governor of Tokyo, and he is in command of all the police forces. He is responsible for Red May, awakening the hunters, and attempting to wipe out the Special Security Force. He was killed when a bomb Taki planted inside his tape recorder detonated.
 * Togawa — Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau Third Public Security Division Chief and Maisaka's second in command. Togawa was seemingly killed by Angel during an attack on Ichihara's building, but the man killed was revealed to be a decoy. The real Togawa perishes in the explosion that also kills Maisaka.
 * Tachihara — The new head of the Red May, Tachihara initially manages to escape from the Special Security Force, but is eventually captured and tortured. He was also a pawn of Maisaka. Hacker and Peace attempt to bring him to Ichihara's laboratory for safety, but the three are killed by Lucifer on the highway.

Pachypodium bicolor

Pachypodium bicolor is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae.

The species has a habit of a low growing somewhat pendulant shrub with a thickened trunk and a densely branched crown composed of numerous branches.

It has been elevated from a "forma" taxonomical ranking of Pachypodium rosulatum variety rosulatum forma bicolor to a full species by Lavranos and Rapanarivo in 1997. A "forma" is a specific taxonomic ranking below subspecies and usually designates the smallest degree in taxonomical nomenclature recording the slightest difference between taxa, typically based on one chief character. It chief character that distinguishes Pachypodium bicolor from other species with yellow corolla is the presence of a white corolla tube or throat to the flower. Pachypodium bicolor is part of the Pachypodium rosulatum complex, where discussion centers on rather one is dealing with one species with many varieties, as Gordon Rowley argues, or many separate distinct species. The corolla, the collective term for the petals of a flower or the inner whorl of the perianth, in the nexus for taxonomical confusion of the taxon.

Pachypodium bicolor is endemic to Madagascar in the low, open, deciduous, western forest growing on porous sandstone. The geological preference of Pachypodium bicolor is limited to one substrate. This makes it prefer a more specialized geological environment. Cultivation should stimulate this substrate.

It does not have a common name in the native tongue to Malagasy—from Madagascar.

Habit
Pachypodium bicolor is a succulent plant, as are all Pachypodium. It grows normally 25 to 50 cm in height with a densely branched crown that is up to approximately 50 cm broad in diameter. Each branch is cylindrical and measures 6 to 14 cm in diameter at the base. The branch comes from low down on the base of the plant. The branches are covered with leaf scars and the remains of spines. Beyond their base, the branches measure 3.5 cm in diameter. Pale-grey in color, the bark is smooth. Branchlets from 1.5 to 5 cm long and 8 to 12 mm in diameter. They are covered with paired straight grey-brown spines 2 to 8 mm long and 1.0 to 3.5 mm in diameter at the base. The basal part, located at or near the base of a plant stem, is part of the spine and conical at 0.6 to 0.75 times the spine length. The young spines and the base of young leaves are densely white-lanate, having or consisting of woolly hairs.

Leaves
The leaves of Pachypodium bicolor are subsessile, very much stalkless and attached directly at the base of the leaf, and confined to the apices of the branchlets. The leaves can be petiole, having a stalk by which a leaf is attached to a stem, at 0 mm to 2 mm (up to 0.08 in) long; meaning they have a very short stalk to the leave, if at all. Pubescent—hairy—the leaf blade is medium green with a pale green midrib above and a pale green below along with reticulate venation beneath when fresh. When the leaves are dried they are papery. Geometrically they take the shape of being ovate, shaped like an egg, to elliptic or narrowly elliptic at 3 to 5 times as long as wide. That measures at 3 to 7.5 cm long by 0.8 to 2 cm wide. At the apex, the blade is obtuse, having a blunt or rounded tip; to rounded; and cuneate, wedge-shaped or triangular; at the base; glabrous, smooth; and with impressed venation above; ciliolate—having minute hairs along the margin or edge of a structure. Beneath the blade is pubescent beneath, with 14 to 40 pairs of rather straight secondary veins forming an angle of 45–90° with the costa, with tertiary—third level of —venation reticulate, composing or a pattern of a netting.

Inflorescence
The inflorescence is of Pachypodium bicolor is pedunculate, having the stalk of an inflorescence. It is congested at 15 to 30 cm by 6 to 9 cm with 5 to 8 flowers. The peduncle, the stalk, is terete, cylindrical but usually slightly tapering at both ends, circular in cross-section, and smooth-surfaced. It measures 120 by. The pedicels, small stalk or stalk-like parts bearing a single flower in an inflorescence, are pale reddish-green at 12 to 17 mm long. They are slightly elongated in fruit at 2.3 cm. The bracts are pale green, persistent—lasting until the maturity of the flower—and narrowly oblong, having a somewhat elongated spherical form with approximately parallel sides. They measure 4 to 6 mm by 1 mm and pubescent, hairy outside and sparsely pubescent inside.

Flowers
Collectively forming the outer floral envelope or layer of the perianth enclosing and supporting the developing bud, which is usually green; the sepals, are pale green, narrowly ovate—oval or egg-shaped—and 2 to 3 times as long as they are wide, measuring at 3 by. They are pubescent, hairy outside and glabrous, smooth without hairs inside. The sepals are acuminate, tapering gradually to a sharp point at the tips of certain leaves or petals or sepals, at their apex.

Corolla
The corolla, a collective term for all the petals of a flower, is limb and medium yellow outside and bright yellow inside for Pachypodium bicolor. The corolla is pale green at the base, medium yellow outside with 5 very pale green lines to just below the lobes. The distinguishing character of Pachypodium bicolor is that its throat or the inside of the corolla tube is white for about 3.5 cm long in the mature bud. It forms a broadly ovoid head 0.3 of the bud length in comparison, measuring at 10 by. Obtuse at the apex, it is pubescent, hairy outside and glabrous, smooth on the part of the lobes covered in bud. The pubescent belt inside is 2 mm wide just below the insertion of the stamens. The corolla tube is infundibuliform, or more simply funnel-shaped, at 5 to 10 times as long as the calyx—the outer most layer of leaves in a flower, which are often green. The calyx is 1 to 1.46 times as long as the lobes at 2.5 to 3 cm long. The basal part of the tube is almost cylindrical at 0.18–0.22 of the length of the entire tube, or 3 to 4 mm long by 2 to 3 mm wide. Towards the slightly widened apex, the upper part of the tube is obconical, inversely conical, at base and almost cylindrical above measuring at 21 to 27 mm long to 8 to 12 mm wide at the mouth. The lobe at the apex of the corolla tube are obliquely obovate at 0.6 to 0.8 times as long as the tube. That measures at 1.2 to 1.5 times as long as wide, or 1.5 by. The lobes are rounded at their individual apex.

Stamens
The stamens, the male reproductive organ in a flower, have an apex 15 to 16 mm below the opening, or mouth, of the corolla tube. They are, therefore, inserted at 0.16 to 0.2 of the length of the corolla tube. That measures at 5 to 6 mm from the base. The anthers are 7 to 8 mm by 1 mm. The anthers have stiff hairs at the base of the connective, the sterile part between just below where they occur with the pistil head.

Pistil
The pistil, the female reproductive part of a flower, is 7 to 8.5 mm long. The ovary 2 mm long by 2 mm wide by 1.5 mm high (0.08 mm by 0.08 mm by 0.06 mm). They are pubescent or sparsely so with short, straight hairs. The disk of 5 unequal glands has 2 glands or 2 pairs of glands that are partly or entirely fused. These glands are broadly ovate, oval or egg-shaped, at 1 mm high, rounded, emarginate or obtuse with an irregularly toothed apex that is less than half as long as the ovary. The style is filiform, having the form of or resembling a thread or filament, where it gradually thickens into a cylindrical-head. Composed of an obconical—inversely conical—basal part 0.6 by, the pistil head is 1.2 mm high. It has a ring-shaped central part 0.4 by with a stigmoid apex measuring 0.2 by. The ovules are approximately 50 in each carpel, one of the structural units of a pistil, representing a modified, ovule-bearing leaf.

Fruit
The fruit of Pachypodium bicolor is composed of 2 separate mericarps, sometimes only developing one. Mericaps are a carpel with one seed or one of a pair split apart at maturity. They form an angle from 10–60° at the base. Worth mentioning, there are occasion when the flowers and fruit in the same inflorescence. The mericarps are pale brown with longitudinal lines outside. Inside it is whitish inside and fusiform, tapering at each end; spindle-shaped, at 60 by. The mericarps are acute, having a sharp point or tip, at the apex and are pubescent with short hairs. The fruit wall is approximately 0.5 mm thick.

Seeds
The seeds are pale to medium brown, ovate, oval, elliptic, elliptical at 5 mm wide by 2 mm (0.2 by 0.08 in). The margin is revolute towards the hilar side. In other words, the edge of the seed is rolled backward from the margins to the undersurface on the scarred side of the seed from a stalk connecting an ovule or a seed with the placenta. The testa, the often thick or hard outer coat of a seed, is rough. The embryo is 4.5 mm long. The cotyledons, the leaves of the embryo of a seed plant, are ovate, oval, egg-shaped, at 1.22 to 1.83 times as long as wide, measuring, 2.2 mm by 1.2 mm to 1.8 mm (0.09 in by 0.05 to 0.07 in). They are rounded at the apex and subcordate, somewhat like a heart in shape, at the base. The rootlet that forms is 1.04 times as long as the cotyledons at 2.3 mm long by 1 mm by 1.5 mm (0.09 by 0.04 by 0.06 in).

Distribution
Distribution to Madagascar. East of Belo sur Tsiribihina.

Habit
Partly pendulant, Pachypodium bicolor forms a low shrub with a thickened trunk and a densely branched crown, the upper part of a tree or shrub, which includes the branches and leaves.

Ecology
Pachypodium bicolor is positioned on porous sandstone where it grows only in full sunlight. With an emphasis on openness, it is found in low open deciduous western forest. It grows at an altitude of approximately 30 m. The limitation to one substrate, a low altitude in the landscape, suggests that Pachypodium bicolor has developed a specialized landscape-environmental condition that should affect its horticulture. Other plants that can be found around it, species indicators, are Euphorbia aff. pedilanthoides, E. viguieri (Euphorbiaceae), Uncarina leandrii var. rechbergeri (Pedaliaceae), Aloe sp., (Asphodelaceae) (Orchidaceae) (0.09 by 0.04 inch) Orchids sp. (0.09 by 0.04 inch) and Kalanchoe spp. (Crassulaceae).

Based on W. Röösli within Rapanarivo et al. "Cultivation"
The substrate should be loose peat with quartz sand at a pH level of 4.5. Temperatures from spring to autumn: night 20 °C to day 40 °C. Wintertime and dormancy: night 16 °C and day 20 °C. It flowers in the spring, presumably after dormancy, so it needs very dry conditions during its dormancy with only occasionally a little water.

Reproduction
By seeds or cuttings.

Literature
Again, in 1997, Pachypodium bicolor was given a full species level by the botanists J.J. Lavranos and S.H.J.V. Rapanarivo in the "Cactus and Succulent Journal" 69: 29-32 (1997).

Its species type is: Madagascar, Toliara, along the Tsiribihina River, Bekinankina, West of Berevo, W. Röösli and R. Hoffman 33/96 (holotype P; isotype MO, TAN, WAG, ZSS). Fig 2, p. 15; Map 2, p. 12; Plates 5-7, opposite p. 17.

G.D. Rowley apparently disagrees with this species definition and maintains another taxonomical ranking altogether in two of his works covering this issue of the taxon, visible in: Homotypic synonym Pachypodium rosulatum variety rosulatum forma bicolor (Lavranos & Rapanarivo) G.D. Rowley in Bradleya 16: 107 (1998) and Pachypodium & Adenium, The Cactus Files Handbook 5: 57 (1999), syn. nov

So what the reader can make of this taxonomical situation is that there is still considerable debate by very skilled botanists.

This article maintains the species rank of Pachypodium bicolor because of the presence of a white throat, or the corolla tube, is consistent with the authors of the most recent book to undertake a widespread examination of Pachypodium in situ, or in the landscape, of continental southern Africa and Madagascar. Furthermore, the taxonomical definition of the taxa as a species has been accepted with the public use of the taxonomical rank, Pachypodium bicolor apparently.

Sagebrush steppe

Sagebrush steppe is a type of shrub-steppe, a plant community characterized by the presence of shrubs, and usually dominated by sagebrush, any of several species in the genus Artemisia. This ecosystem is found in the Intermountain West in the United States.

The most common sagebrush species in the sagebrush steppe in most areas is big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata). Others include three-tip sagebrush (Artemisia tripartita) and low sagebrush (Artemisia arbuscula). Sagebrush is found alongside many species of grasses.

Sagebrush steppe is a diverse habitat, with more than 350 recorded vertebrate species. It is also open rangeland for livestock, a recreation area, and a source of water in otherwise arid regions. It is key habitat for declining flora and fauna species, such as greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis).

Sagebrush steppe is a threatened ecosystem in many regions. It was once very widespread in the regions that form the Intermountain West, such as the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau. It has become fragmented and degraded by a number of forces. Steppe has been overgrown with introduced species and has changed to an ecosystem resembling pine and juniper woodland. This has changed the fire regime of the landscape, increasing fuel loads and increasing the chance of unnaturally severe wildfires. Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is also an important introduced plant species that increases fire risk in this ecosystem. Other forces leading to these habitat changes include fire suppression and overgrazing of livestock. Besides severe fire, consequences of the breakdown of sagebrush steppe include increased erosion of the land and sedimentation in local waterways, decreased water quality, decreased quality of forage available for livestock, and degradation of habitat for wildlife and game animals.

I believe that Peter McWilliams also wrote, in the early 1970s, a parody of health books called "The Kabunza Diet", where the "authors" discovered a remote tribe of unbelievably healthy and athletic people whose special diet of one food, when investigated at the National Institute to Analyze and Classify Everything, turned out to be Hershey with Almonds.

Mecca vs. Mesopotamia
Northampton is more analgous to ancient Mesopotamia owing to a preponderance of artisanal corecrafts produced by the ex-columnar populace.

Hey, so a series of revisions to "recent history to give a flavor of what the town has become" on May 7th dramatically change the story of the demographic shift in the 70s and 80s, to one that excludes mention of the Noho-Hamp distinction, and paints the shift entirely in terms of a migration of enlightened urban professionals. strikes me as bubbly and overly simplistic, and i'm reverting to the previous version, with edits to avoid redundancy with the rest of the entry as it stands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.229.193.213 (talk) 18:21, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Population (city vs town of Noho)
The first sentence states that " As of the 2000 census, the population of Northampton's central neighborhoods, (excluding its incorporated villages, Florence, Massachusetts and Leeds, Massachusetts,) was 28,978."

I think this is incorrect and that 28,978 refers to the City of Northampton, including Florence and Leeds. The census webpage gives this figure for "Northampton," but it does not list separate values for Florence or Leeds. Looking up population by zip code, the census site gives (for 2000) 16,274 for 01060 (central Northampton), does not give values for 01061 or 01063, gives 11,225 for 01062 (Florence) and 1,452 for 01053 (Leeds). Adding up these values gives 28,978, which is only 27 smaller than the "Northampton" value.

I recommend changing the first sentence to:

As of the 2000 census, the population of the city of Northampton (including its incorporated villages, Florence, Massachusetts and Leeds, Massachusetts) was 28,978.

Nohodegus (talk) 23:05, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

2010 US Census Data related to "married" couples
Under the "Demographics" heading in the body text I updated the numbers mentioned to refer to the 2010 census rather than the 2000 census.

It appears to me that (perhaps because this was a Federal exercise) only opposite-sex married couples were counted as married and they are called out has "Husband-wife" marriages (their words). A footnote explicitly says and I quote: "Responses of "same-sex spouse" were edited during processing to "unmarried partner."" (US Census 2010). People mentioning that they live with an "unmarried partner" totals 4.3% but may include opposite-sex partnerships, I believe. I would welcome any further thoughts on how to calculate.

The same-sex marriage information in the article is sourced differently and comes from two different sources -- I did not attempt to update that information given time pressures.

Establishment date of the city of Northhampton, MA

On Thursday, June 11th 2015, I went to the Northhampton City Hall to find out the exact date the city was established. I first went to the office of the mayor and received a copy of the act to establish the city of Northhampton (1883 - Chapter 250, pages 537-554). I have scanned this act and have uploaded it to wikipedia common. The act was passed on June 23, 1884. But the mayor's office pointed out Section 44 of this act which I have typed out in full. "This act shall take effect upon its acceptance by a majority of legal voters of said town present and voting theron, at a meeting duly called for that purpose, within two years from the passage of this act. At such meeting the vote shall be taken by ballot and the polls shall be kept open not less than six hours, and the check lists shall be used. If at any meeting called for the purpose this act should fail to be accepted by a majority of the voters of said town, the act shall not be again submitted for acceptance to the legal voters of said town within four months of the date of such prior meeting. It is however provided, that a meeting may be called for the purpose of submitting the question of the acceptance of this act to the legal voters of said town at anytime after the passage hereof."

So, while the act was passed on June 23, 1884. It would not take effect until it was put up to a popular vote with legal voters. To find out this information the mayor's office sent me downstairs to the city clerk's office. I was given this wonderful leather bound book. Printed on the spine were the words, "Records, Volume 1: 1884-1888, City of NorthHampton" On the second page of this book the following was written, " September 5th, 1883. Voted to accept the City Charter as passed and approved. Yes 612. No 373. Pursuant to the foregoing action of the town the first City Elections were held December 4th, 1883." I have taken a photo of this page and have uploaded it here.

In conclusion, a trip to the city hall of Northhampton, MA will allow anyone to discover that: ''' North Hampton officially became a city on September 5th, 1883 when voters accepted the City Charter as passed and approved.

Orphaned references in Northampton, Massachusetts
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Northampton, Massachusetts's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Caption is false
Re: Hampshire County Courthouse

The caption under the photo of the Hampshire County Courthouse falsely states that it was designed by H H Richardson. The architect who designed this building was Henry Kilbourn. He designed it in the style of Richardson.

Richardson designed the HAMPDEN County Courthouse (in Springfield) not the HAMPSHIRE County Courthouse (in Northampton). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.227.228 (talk) 01:57, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Newspaper only nickname?
I recently added a link to an article describing the origins of the nickname "Lesbianville." From that article it's clear the nickname was a fabrication from the National Enquirer. The Boston Globe article seems to say the same thing: 'Various news outlets have dubbed it "Lesbianville, USA".'

I don't think I can site myself, but as a resident I can say I've never heard anyone from the town describe it as such. To be clear, I'm not denying the strong presence of the LGBT community, just the nickname.

This post is really a question: Does a municipality's nickname imply something used by those familiar with the city/town, or does a newspaper journalist's fabrication count? Or maybe even better: how do we represent that in the infobox? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claysalem (talk • contribs) 11:53, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Eh, look. There are lots of names that are the product of some bored journalist's/historian's imagination or hyperbole.  Nicknames, hoaxes, you name it, the backstory as to how they came into vogue doesn't hold water.  There was no such thing as the "Byzantine" Empire; they called themselves Romans, and the appellation dates from centuries after the fact.  No native Bostonian uses the term "Beantown," and sneers at anyone who does.   Ravenswing      23:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Giuseppe Dossetti

Giuseppe Dossetti (13 February 1913 – 15 December 1996) was an Italian jurist, a politician, and also a Catholic priest from 1958 onward.

Political career
Dossetti was born in Genoa, the son of a piedmontese pharmacist and a mother from Reggio Emilia, where the family settled quite soon to manage a pharmacy in the nearby agricultural and small industrial town of Cavriago. When he was young, he joined Azione Cattolica ("Catholic Action"), and he obtained a law degree at 21 years of age. Soon after, as fairly common among young graduates at the time, even Catholics, particularly in the Bologna and Reggio Emilia area, he joined the Fascist party and became an appreciated speaker at student meetings organized by the fascist student organization (Guf). After postgraduate work in Canon and Roman Law at the Catholic University of Milan, in 1940 he passed the exam for teaching the discipline at university level and in 1942 he was appointed professor at the University of Modena, the youngest college teacher in the Kingdom of Italy. Later on, moved by profound political and moral beliefs, antifascist, he joined the Italian Resistance under the name of "Benigno" and became President of the Committee for National Liberation of Reggio Emilia, even if he always refused to use weapons.

His political career was very fast. In 1945 he became vice-secretary of Democrazia Cristiana, and on 2 June 1946 was elected to become part of the "Costituente" (the political body in charge of drafting the new Italian republican constitution), of which he became one of the most active members. Exactly he took part in the first Subcommission in charge of the "rights and duties of the citizens". In 1946, with Amintore Fanfani, Giorgio La Pira and Giuseppe Lazzati (described, not without a bit of deprecation, as "little professors") he founded the association Civitas Humana. Next year Giuseppe Lazzati and he established a political magazine, Cronache Sociali.

Dossetti was an atypical politician. He decided not to rerun for the 1948 elections and changed the idea only to obey to Monsignor Montini (Pope Paolo VI). His evangelist positions were more or less opposed to the Alcide De Gasperi's more pragmatic ones. He was against NATO accession of Italy, which he considered dangerous, and in favour of social reforms aimed at helping the poorer parts of the population. Dossetti was presented to the Congress with over one-third consensus. The contraposition with De Gasperi was very clear. He accepted the challenge and returned as deputy secretary of the party. During the following years, he was actively involved in working at many reforms, including the Cassa del Mezzogiorno. He left politics in 1951, and he returned for a while in 1956 just to run for mayor in Bologna, in which City Council he will stay for the following two years.

After politics
In the meantime, on 6 January 1956, he took religious vows after that, some months before, the Church authorities approved the monastic community of the "Piccola famiglia dell'Annunziata", founded by him and based on "silence, prayer, work, and poverty". After three years, he was ordained a priest.

During the 1960s, he contributed as a collaborator of Cardinal Lercaro, but since his presence was not welcome by some sectors of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, he chose to retire in silence. According to Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, Dossetti's personal role during the Second Vatican Council was of great importance, because he contributed to making the Council less conservative and traditional than what was originally planned.

During the following years, his community expanded: from the first section near Bologna, in Terrasanta, to Giordania in Casaglia di Montesole. He reappeared in public in 1994, when he publicly expressed his worries for the proposed modifications of the Italian constitution. Dossetti died two years later, on 15 December 1996.

Category talk:The Chronicles of Narnia

(overblown)
I think the Category/Subcategory syatem for Narnia is a bit overblown. Perhaps instead of having subcategories "Narnia Books", "Narnia Characters" and "Narnia Places"(with "Narnia Worlds" as a subsubcategory of places) they should all just be in the main Narnia category with the relevant lists(places, characters etc.) as individual entries as well. None of the current subcategories are exactly massively populated and this rearrangement would make navigation a lot easier. benmcq 00:05, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree, merging them would probably be the best solution --Kel-nage 00:21, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Redirect categories construction and population underway
Perhaps temporarily I have violated what seems to be the intended complementary relationship among redirect templates (and the parallel, auto-generated redirect categories) R fc, R fe, and R fp --redirects from fictional characters/creatures, elements/objects, and places/locations-- by treating the elements as comprehensive with the characters and locations subcategories. And is a member of.

So long as this holds, the external tool CatScan V3.0 will handle all Narnia redirects that have been tagged as Narnia-related using one of the three redirect templates linked above. Simply enter "Narnia element redirects to lists|1" as the first of the CatScan Categories. (The suffix "|1" means 'named category plus subcategories one level down' and that covers the character and location redirects subcategories.)

The targets are not generally lists. To be continued. Compare. --P64 (talk) 23:56, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Burn Up!

Burn Up! is a 1991 Japanese anime original video animation. It concerns a special group of police officers called Team Warrior who are often given special assignments in the police department.

In North America, AnimEigo first released Burn Up! on VHS in 1992 in Japanese with English subtitles. An English dub of the OVA was produced in 1994 by ADV Films, and was released on VHS that year. In 2005, ADV Films released the OVA on DVD. The DVD also contains the English dub. In 2009, Sentai Filmworks re-released the OVA on DVD.

Plot
Police Officers Maki, Reimi and Yuka are stuck on traffic patrol when they would prefer to be involved in more "exciting" police duties. All that changes when they join in a police chase after a kidnapped girl. As a result, they become involved in the case of a white slavery organization run by the politically connected businessman Samuel McCoy.

While going to the aid of another girl, Yuka is then kidnapped by McCoy’s men. Frustrated at the inaction by the Police Department to prosecute McCoy and rescue Yuka, Maki and Reimi take what they need from the police armory, including police assault carrier, and go to her rescue creating mayhem in their wake.

Background
There are three series that are sequels to Burn Up. Two of the series, Burn Up W (an OVA in 4 parts) and Burn Up Excess (13 parts) form a mostly united story arc. Many of the characters in Burn Up also appear in Excess, but have different names. The third series, Burn Up Scramble!, is unrelated to the other 2 series, except that it is a complete re-envisioning of the series.

Summary
Maki is sitting in a park next to her motorcycle, in her racing suit. As she sits there, feeding pigeons, we cut away to a frantic highway chase with a young girl screaming in the backseat of the getaway car. Police dispatches a signal to all possible backup units, including two Junior SWAT team officers: Yuka and Remi. Preempting the speeding ticket they were about to issue, they join the pursuit and radio Maki for assistance. She suits up and enters the fray on her motorcycle, taking shortcuts over guardrails and weaving through police roadblocks. When the perpetrators open fire on her, cracking her racing helmet, she promptly becomes angered and draws a shotgun, kills one of the kidnappers, shoots the getaway car's engine, and the chase grinds to a halt.

At a police debriefing, which Kenji and his partner Banba are attending, it is revealed that the kidnappers could have connections to Samuel McCoy. Amidst rumors that his profitable chain of nightclubs and restaurants is a front for a lucrative prostitution and sex slave ring, it has been impossible until now to find any hard evidence. Kenji and Banba are ordered to interrogate the prisoner and get "something that'll stick on McCoy's Teflon ass".

During a brief stop into the office where Maki is filing her incident report, Kenji sets up a date with Maki, and informing them of the pending case against McCoy. The news on McCoy, naturally, disgusts the three girls, but is quickly forgotten amidst Kenji and Maki's flirting, drawing up envy among the girls.

This date, however, is later interrupted by Banba bringing late news about the case. Despite Maki and Kenji's chagrin upon being interrupted at a very awkward moment (Maki wrapped in a towel after a shower and Kenji was in his briefs), they listen as he tells them they have had many sightings of missing women at one of McCoy's clubs, the Sartrait 7. Kenji declares it too dangerous, and outright forbids Maki to investigate. Date terminally interrupted, Maki brings Kenji back to the station to question the prisoner.

However, when Kenji goes to interrogate the captured kidnapper, as ordered, he is shocked to find the man dead in his cell, poison needles peppering his body. This prompts the team to, reluctantly, investigate their only remaining lead, the Sartrait 7.

While mingling with the crowd, Yuka stumbles upon a lonely, sad-looking girl in a frilly yellow dress, and goes to befriend her. The girl sobbingly confides that she was expecting her boyfriend, but has been stood up. Yuka offers to keep her company, keeping her safe and attempting to pick up her spirits by buying her a soft drink. However, at the vending machine, she is attacked from behind and subdued by a muscular thug, with the frilly yellow-dressed girl suspiciously acquiescent.

The thug is followed by Remi and Maki, who draw weapons and hold up the kidnappers. All goes well, until a muscular figure sweeps out of the shadows, with dark, almost slate-gray skin and long red hair. with shocking agility for a man his size, he leaps away from their every attack, throwing a hail of poison needles -the same as that which killed their prisoner- at them, knocking the girls unconscious.

At the hospital, the poison is neutralized and their wounds treated, and Kenji comes to tell them that they can't officially investigate the kidnapping of Yuka at McCoy's club, due to the lack of evidence. Even the presence of the red-haired killer -identified as Gonnack, McCoy's bodyguard and suspected assassin- isn't enough to issue a warrant on McCoy.

Maki decides she's going to take matters into her own hands, using her Junior SWAT clearance to take what she needs from the armory, behind the chief's back. Remi reluctantly assists, and rigs an alarm to distract the security in the police garage. They steal a police assault carrier and make for McCoy's mansion.

Meanwhile, Yuka is imprisoned in McCoy's basement, awakening in a cell with three other young women. Here, they sobbingly confirm that they are being groomed to be sex slaves to be sold off to the wealthy, with compliance or suicide the only possible escape.

Eventually, Maki and Remi learn the girls' location, and break Yuka and her cellmates out. Ordering the unarmed Yuka to lead the girls to safety, Maki and Remi press on to arrest McCoy. The women are waylaid, however, by an apparently panicked Sayaka, who runs into them in the hallway as she and McCoy try to escape the besieged compound. While she has them off guard, McCoy and Ryuji draw weapons and fire, wounding the two officers.

Meanwhile, the SWAT reinforcements arrive, and Kenji himself appears in a helicopter, tracking the girls' location. He and Banba sneak in behind McCoy through a skylight, killing Ryuji and surrounding and arresting McCoy. He rescues Maki and Remi and, as she says herself upon fade out, "that's that."

Later, after the credits roll, Yuka visits Remi and Maki in the hospital and inquires as to when they would like to return to Sartrait 7. Both officers nearly fall out of their beds from the shock, leading Yuka to claim she was only joking.

Crown of Queen Mary

The Crown of Queen Mary is a consort crown that was made in 1911 for the coronation of British queen Mary of Teck. Mary thereafter wore it on occasion in circlet form. It is part of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. It was used again, in a slightly altered form, at the coronation of Queen Camilla on 6 May 2023.

Origin
Mary bought the Art Deco-inspired crown from Garrard & Co. out of her own pocket hoping it would become an heirloom worn by future queens consort. It is somewhat unusual for a British crown in that it has eight half-arches instead of the more typical four half-arches or two arches.

It is 25 cm tall and weighs 590 g. The silver-gilt crown has around 2,200 rose-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds, and originally contained the 105.6 carat Koh-i-Noor diamond, as well as the 94.4 carat Cullinan III and 63.6 carat Cullinan IV diamonds.

In 1914, those diamonds were replaced with crystal replicas, and the crown's arches were made detachable so it could be worn as an open crown. Mary wore it like this after her husband, George V, died in 1936. In 1937, the year of George VI's coronation, Cullinan V was added to the crown. Following Queen Mary's death in 1953 the crown was put on display at the Tower of London. The crystal replicas of the Cullinan stones were replaced by the diamonds for the coronation of Queen Camilla in 2023.

Queen Camilla
Queen Camilla was crowned using Queen Mary's Crown at her coronation in May 2023. Prior to the coronation the crown was partially altered. Alterations included re-setting the crown with the original Cullinan III and IV diamonds as well as adding Cullinan V diamond as a tribute to Camilla's mother-in-law, Elizabeth II, who wore the diamonds as brooches. Four of the crown's eight half-arches were removed.

Boundary
Rather than do a revert the article myself I figured I'd start a discussion about the Cuyahoga River as a boundary. While it and the Portage Path are often described as the western boundary of the US at that time, they were actually the western boundary of the area for European settlers. The portion to the west was for the Indians. It was all part of the Northwest territory that was part of the settlement with the British at the end of the Revolutionary War. --Beirne 00:07, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * You are correct, sir. The idea that the Treaty of Greenville established the Cuyahoga has the western boundary of the United States originates from a misreading of the treaty text. The treaty states in its Article 5:

"To prevent any misunderstanding about the Indian lands relinquished by the United States in the fourth article, it is now explicitly declared, that the meaning of that relinquishment is this: the Indian tribes who have a right to those lands, are quietly to enjoy them, hunting, planting, and dwelling thereon, so long as they please, without any molestation from the United States; but when those tribes, or any of them, shall be disposed to sell their lands, or any part of them, they are to be sold only to the United States; and until such sale, the United States will protect all the said Indian tribes in the quiet enjoyment of their lands against all citizens of the United States, and against all other white persons who intrude upon the same. And the said Indian tribes again acknowledge themselves to be under the protection of the said United States, and no other power whatever."

 * In other words, the United States did not relinquish sovereignty over the Indian lands (they couldn't, for instance, make a treaty with Great Britain for protection), but rather, created the first "insular areas" of the United States by giving local control to a non-state government, and forbidding white settlement.

Dam
I expanded the environmental paragraph to reflect the impact of Combined Sewer Overflows and dams on the water quality, including a brief discussion of the mitigation efforts undertaken at the Munroe Falls and Kent Dams--and the proposal by Advanced Hydro Solutions to draw a small amount of power from a large dam.--RattBoy 01:27, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I edited the latest changes a bit to remove some POV and correct a fact. The coal-burning plant survived into the 80's or 90's but I couldn't find the date.  It definitely wasn't the 70s.  In the paragraph on the Advanced Hydro's power plant I felt that a little more of their reasoning could be used to balance the paragraph.  While the existing quote is good it should have a reference so we know where the quote comes from.  Their point could also be added that the dam was created to generate power, which I think AHS makes but I couldn't find a source and don't want to create new info for the article.--Beirne 03:22, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * The reference for the existing quote is the Falls News and Press article, linked later in the text. The point, that the dam was created to generate power, is already made in the second paragraph in this section-an edit that took place on 7/21/05. RattBoy 10:16, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I removed the "quote" this morning. The word "mitigated" was nowhere to be found in the article so it was not an actual quote.  I replaced it with the points made in favor of the dam from the BJ article.  --Beirne 12:11, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * There appears to be a misunderstanding here. The quote appeared in the original article which was linked. After the Falls News-Press apparently changed its URL, the link was changed, referencing an article which did not include the quote (though it did include the present-tense form, "mitigate").
 * In the Falls News-Press July 18 article, Paragraph 18 reads:
 * "(Company president David) Sinclair noted the firm will ensure the impact to the Gorge Metro Park 'is mitigated as much as possible . . . physically, environmentally [and] aesthetically.'"
 * Therefore the quote is real, in fact, though its source is a different article from the one currently linked. I'd recommend re-including the quote in the article.
 * OK, makes sense.--Beirne 13:01, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * I think we need to be careful about how we achieve balance in this article. Since the project is opposed by many groups-not just PETA and Tree Huggers For A Stagnant Economy-and apparently supported only by entities which stand to gain financially from the project, reporting in a "he-said, she-said" fashion is doing a disservice to the intrepid surfer. In particular, I'd like to balance AHP's impressive-sounding "taking 10,000 cars off the road" claim with some context. Their stat is over the 50-year lifetime of the project. Therefore, they're proposing the perpetual operation of a dam which has known, large detrimental effects on the river's ecology, justifying it by taking the equivalent of 20 cars off the road per year. That goal could clearly be achieved (and surpassed) by small conservation efforts which would have no detrimental impact on the river. I plan to do some more research before I insert text which will put their grandiose claims in perspective.--RattBoy 10:50, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, see what you come up with. It might be worth it for both of us to reread the Npov article to know how to best write this.  --Beirne 13:01, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * The public meeting took place yesterday, so I'm adding a link to the news story in the Akron Beacon Journal. However, I don't know how long the article will be viewable.--RattBoy 10:16, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * It may be good to do more formal references at the end of the article and reference it as a newpaper article rather than a web page. I suspect, though, that with the news changinig the reference to the article will soon be obsolete.  --Beirne 12:11, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The lynx obtained by searching the Falls News-Press archive on the words, "Advanced Hydro" are:
 * Removal could be in dam's future (May 17, 04) by Phil Keren, Editor
 * Change proposed for Gorge Dam (July 18, 05) by Phil Keren, Editor
 * Metro Parks discuss future of Gorge Dam (July 25, 05) by Lauren Passell, Reporter
 * --RattBoy 10:50, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I added a references section with these and the BJ article. I don't have time right now to fix the citations in line and won't be able to work on this for the next few days.  --Beirne 13:01, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * I added the 7/28/05 BJ editorial to the References section. I'm not certain that an editorial really qualifies as a "Reference," however. If someone moves it or nukes it, I won't pitch a big-ol' fit.--RattBoy 23:50, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Someday I'd like to add more info to the description of CSO's and the dissolved oxygen content in the Shipping Channel--and maybe some more positive stuff about what is, in IMHO, a troubled but lovable river that has a lot to offer. But...one thing at a time.--RattBoy 23:50, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Shortly, I'll try to add some information on the Navigation Channel, the importance of the Cuyahoga River and the Ohio and Erie Canal as contributers to the development of an American national economy (the O&E closed the circle with regard to waterborne shipping from NYC to New Orleans, and opened up the Northwest Territories to settlement), and the increased numbers and varieties of aquatic vertebrates since the improvement of H2O quality.

Someone's copying word-for-word...
Just passing through, but I noticed that a passage in this article is identical to a passage on an EPA webpage - http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/aoc/cuyahoga.html

EPA site: The Cuyahoga River is located in northeast Ohio. It begins its 100-mile journey in Geauga County, then flows south to Cuyahoga Falls where it turns sharply north until it empties into Lake Erie. The river drains 813 square miles of land in portions of six counties. Native Americans referred to the U-shaped river as the Cuyahoga or "crooked river."

Fires plagued the Cuyahoga beginning in 1936 when a spark from a blow torch ignited floating debris and oils. Fires erupted on the river several more times before June 22, 1969, when a river fire captured national attention when Time magazine described the Cuyahoga as the river that "oozes rather than flows" and in which a person "does not drown but decays." This event helped spur an avalanche of pollution control activities resulting in the Clean Water Act, Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, and the creation of the federal and state Environmental Protection Agencies.

Wikipedia: The Cuyahoga River is located in Northeast Ohio. It begins its 100 mile (160 km) journey in Geauga County, then flows south to Cuyahoga Falls where it turns sharply north and runs through Cleveland until it empties into Lake Erie. It also flows through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, established in 2000 from the Cuyahoga National Recreation Area, which was protected in 1974. The river drains 813 square miles (2,105 km²) of land in portions of six counties. Native Americans referred to the U-shaped river as the Cuyahoga or "crooked river".

Anyway, figured it couldn't hurt to bring it to someone's attention. 70.25.208.177 05:06, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Interesting. Since the Ohio EPA is a public agency, I don't think this necessarily fits the definition of "plagiarism." The EPA website isn't copyrighted, as far as I can tell. Anyone else have any legal knowledge that bears on this issue?--RattBoy 02:31, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Plagiarism and coypright violation are two completely separate issues. Plagiarism is an ethical matter of copying another's work without giving due credit. Copyright is a legal matter. It may be "legal" to copy text in the public domain (as works of U.S. government agencies are), but it is very dubious ethics to not credit the source of material used. And WP:CITE is a widely accepted guideline for articles. older≠wiser 03:15, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

No crossings?
There appear to be no bridge fans in Cleveland. Is this true? A number of rivers have these things called "bridges" and "ferrys" and even "tunnels". As a result, various Wikipedians have created "List of crossings" articles, such as List of crossings of the Columbia River, List of crossings of the Rivière des Prairies, List of crossings of the River Thames, List of crossings of the Connecticut River, and many others. I'm not in the Cleveland area, but maybe I could get y'all started on this using Yahoo maps. What say you? Let's see.... List of crossings of the Cuyahoga River - Denimadept (talk) 21:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Tables
I moved the WikiTables to the bottom of the article, thus moving the other text up higher.

I added the appropriate CSS class="collapsible" so that they can be collapsed, If other contributors desire, another CSS class="collapsed" can be added which collapses them by default. LeheckaG (talk) 20:28, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Elevation graphic
Somebody clearly put a lot of work into the elevation graphic, which is pretty cool. However, I think it is far too dominant for the article -- it takes up a massive amount of space. What to do? It could be converted into a graphic and included as a thumbnail…or it could be moved to a sub-article like tributaries of the Cuyahoga River…thoughts? -Pete (talk) 18:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

More info on river fires?
I don't think the Cuyahoga is the only river to catch fire, just the most infamous. Is there any justification to there being a river fire article? If it's known by another name, I couldn't immediately find what it's called. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.80.115 (talk) 04:37, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes, I was surprised as well -- the 1969 fire in particular is globally infamous, and there is almost no information on it. It probably does not need a separate article, but it definitely needs expansion here. If there is so little information because it touches a nerve, think of it as the pivotal point when things started changing for the better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.254.157.81 (talk) 00:12, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Just now I logged in to create a redirect with possibilities at the above redirect, though there was already a less appropriate and unused burning river redirect. If there have been any other river fires anywhere, an article/stub could be created so for now the redirect can act as a placeholder. Klknoles (talk) 22:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

There is this http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/06/22/the-fable-of-the-burning-river-45-years-later/, which has links to other articles — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.133.50 (talk) 17:33, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Cuyahoga River map
Copied from User talk:Wetman (Wetman (talk) 23:59, 27 October 2010 (UTC)):
 * Looks like just one branch to me. - Denimadept (talk) 23:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It doesn't jibe with the article's assertion that the Cuyahoga River begins where the two branches join. If the caption were to read "Cuyahoga and Upper Cuyahoga watershed" that wouldn't be quite correct either. The narrowing of the watershed downstream suggests interesting paleogeography here. Not that I'm competent to summarise it... Let me copy this to Talk:Cuyahoga River. --Wetman (talk) 23:59, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * User:Kmusser made the map. I'm sure he'd make whatever adjustments are needed. His to-do list can be pretty long, but he's a trooper and keeps plugging along! Remember to tell him how awesome a Wikipedian he is. :-) Pfly (talk) 01:46, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Also, on the origin coordinates I took a look at the source coordinates in ACME Mapper's USGS topo map view. At the highest quality zoomed-in scale the river seems to be labeled simply "Cuyahoga River" above and below the source point. If you zoom out until the topo map switches to the next lower resolution map, then the branches are labeled West and East. Weird. I'm not saying anything is wrong here, just it struck me as odd. At first I thought there was a mistake, looking only at the zoomed-in topos. Could it be that the East Branch is sometimes considered the main stem? ...hmm, perhaps so... I note says a variant name is "Cuyahoga River". Maybe Kmusser's data has the East Branch as the main stem. Pfly (talk) 02:00, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * All I know is that when I was tracing the river upstream to make List of crossings of the Cuyahoga River, the satellite imagery for the upper bit was crap. From this map, it does look like the east branch is considered the main river. - Denimadept (talk) 03:01, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like the imagery has improved a lot!! - Denimadept (talk) 03:05, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look, that I'm showing the east branch as the main river seems likely, I'll get the west branch added on there. Kmusser (talk) 18:52, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I might have been acting like a typical Wikipedia: demanding more consistency than exists. I'm not competent here: all I can do is make tiresome noises, but the article is so good and so well put together. --Wetman (talk) 19:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Nice map of tributaries and their watersheds here (also pages with info on the 25 of so tributaries shown--looks useful). This site distinguishes the east and west branches. They both seem fairly short compared to Tinkers Creek, Breakneck Creek, and the Little Cuyahoga River. I was a little surprised to see no page for the Little Cuyahoga River, but perhaps it is not as significant as its name suggests. Pfly (talk) 19:54, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, it's not a quick fix - the data source I used (National Atlas) has the east branch as the main stem and doesn't have the west branch at all. To correct I'd need to remake the map using better data. I'll put it on the to do list and I could add the other major tribs while I'm at it.  Kmusser (talk) 20:35, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * New and improved map is done. Kmusser (talk) 23:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * suh-weet! - Denimadept (talk) 03:40, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Picture of the fire?
It would be desirable if someone could find a picture of the fire that meets Wikipedia's licensing requirements.

Something like this:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SJ5S43VGz5Q/SIS1UaGBRRI/AAAAAAAABZs/o03-km2bMsM/s400/burning%2Briver%2Bnov%2B3%2B1952%2B-%2Bjames%2Bthomas.jpg Better Example Below

--Guy Macon (talk) 00:58, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

 * If a picture has a valid fair-use rationale, it can be uploaded and used on Wikipedia (but not the Commons) in the article it has a rationale for, just like a logo. It will need a valid source too.  Chances are there are pictures out there that could easily be used.  With the picture in your link, though, there is nothing to tell where the picture came from, who took it, or where they took it.  The Cuyahoga was not the only river to catch fire because of pollution.  --JonRidinger (talk) 02:16, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Don't know whether it ss usable, bu here is a picture of the 1952 fire from lisacanter.com:

 * http://lisacanter.com/teachcleveland/images/stories/the_sixties/cuyahoga_river/s-cleve-rivers-cuyahoga%201952%20fire.jpg

 * And one of the 1936 fire:

1969 Fire?
The section about the 1969 river fire has almost no information about the fire, is there no information available? Can't someone check Life magazine or something?

Before you jump down my throat, re-read it. It discussed a report from a year before the fire. It discusses other fires in the past. It mentions how policy changed because of the fire, after the fire happened. But there is nothing in this page about the event of the fire. For example, where was it? Clearly the whole river from end to end wasn't on fire. How long did it burn? Just on June 22nd? Were there photos?

It just seems that the 1969 fire is mentioned repeatedly as a significant event that lead to songs, policy, and other changes. And somewhat predicted. But there is almost no information about the actual event itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.58.148 (talk) 06:54, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Still many months later and not even a single link about the history of the fire in the main section? It sounds to me like perhaps some are trying to engage in historical revisionism. I witnessed the fire and some online accounts do not seem accurate or complete. [Another user and former Cleveland resident]
 * You're welcome to find and post about the fire in 1969 and any of the other ones. - Denimadept (talk) 23:48, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Error with Temperature
In the Environmental Concerns subsection under history, it is written that cooling water being dumped into the river warmed it by -9 degrees Celsius. I'm guessing that this was the result of a quick conversion from the Fahrenheit scale, but seeing as it comes from another text I was wondering if it was there because it was copied verbatim from the source. Does this matter? Sunghail (talk) 07:09, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Error in Kent State University symposium text quote
In the "Environmental concerns" section, there is an error in the text, quote: "water increases the temperature by 10 to 15 °F (−9 °C) ." As this is an interval temperature (rather than a scale) this should be stated as a "6-8 °C increase" instead of being converted to the scale temperature of -9 °C. I did not correct this because it is not clear if the -9 is from the original symposium text or if it was added as part of the article. If the former, the correction should be added as an editing note; if the latter, the text should be changed to an editing note and corrected. — CoyneT talk 02:54, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed. It was an error in usage of convert. - Denimadept (talk) 05:07, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Footnote behind pay wall
Footnote 12 links to a PDF source behind a pay wall. I found an open copy of this source, but I do not know how to edit it, as this set of References isn't editable on the page (called Reflist|30em). The link I would ask to replace the existing one is here. wbm (talk) 01:44, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Ref 12 is here.  It shows up at the reflist template, but that's not its source. - Denimadept (talk) 03:00, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! wbm (talk) 03:35, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

1969 fire photos extant
The article states "No pictures from the 1969 fire are known to exist" with a citation. The respective source is probably useless now since I just found a WJW-TV report about the 45th anniversary of the fire, and it includes photos and archival film footage. Maybe there's an outside chance that they confused the 1952 fire with the 1969 one like Time did but it's doubtful given the history of the station. Mapsax (talk) 17:32, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * And more. (WEWS-TV) Mapsax (talk) 19:27, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

 * It's actually correct. Both sources above show the after-effects of the fire, but none actually show the fire itself. Perhaps the statement "No pictures from the 1969 fire are known to exist" should be modified to "No pictures of the 1969 fire..." There most definitely was a fire in 1969, but it wasn't a major news event in Cleveland at the time, and it had been contained before any members of the media arrived. The best sources I can find indicate the damage was $50,000 and the most visible damage was the warped railroad tracks (which are shown in the video). But neither video shows the fire itself, which is consistent with older sources. See pages 9-10. --JonRidinger (talk) 19:53, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * OK. With no audio I interpreted the hosing down as putting out the actual fire since it was small and therefore likely easy to be hidden from view.
 * I think that what you linked to above should be the first if not the only source for the statement. What's there now only repeats what's said in the WP article with no elaboration. Mapsax (talk) 12:25, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I updated the paragraph that mentions it. The source I used was already being used (without a citation template) earlier in the section. I removed the sentence that said there were several fires between 1952 and 1969. The Adler work makes no mention of any fires between 1952 and 1969, but lists several others. --JonRidinger (talk) 19:20, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Broken links might be fixable with archived copies
Several references have broken links. For some of these, it may be possible to substitute an archived page. For example, the article has this sentence and reference: The largest river fire in 1952 caused over $1 million in damage to boats, a bridge, and a riverfront office building. There is an archived copy at https://19january2017snapshot.epa.gov/cuyahoga-river-aoc/about-cuyahoga-river-aoc_.html.

Here is another example. The article has this: Two dams in Cuyahoga Falls, the Sheraton and LeFever Dams, were scheduled for demolition in late 2012. . There is an archived copy at https://www.mytownneo.com/news/20120803/dismantling-of-dams-along-cuyahoga-river-to-get-under-way-in-september.

Note that the EPA archived page is not actually hosted by the EPA. It was created as an effort to preserve EPA documents when it was feared political changes could result in the loss of EPA documents. SlowJog (talk) 17:02, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Origin of the name Cuyahoga
This listing indicates there is no clear connection to any particular Native American tribe. Really? The Iroquois, Five Nations included Mohawk and Seneca people. Not a Native American but a native Ohioan, I doubt the name information. The tribes did not live in complete isolation. The FiveNations clearly did not form over night but by long term (years) of tribal interactions. Yes, the Mowhawk word for crooked river could certainly have been used to name this river. Do the Wyandot have a name as well? Not in my library of knowledge. Currently the information needs to be researched again with additional current sources and new linguistic information. It is highly likely the current information was taken from an old history book. Could someone with the proper background, Native American, Native American languages, historical languages/linguistics do us all a big favor and help us with or update this information? Maybe it’s correct but it doesn’t seem correct to me. Thanks in advance. 188.213.202.36 (talk) 18:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Verticordia
Hello Korg,

Thank you for reading and correcting the Verticordia pages so carefully! Much appreciated. Gderrin (talk)

P.A.Cox abbreviation
Hi Korg, I noticed when checking "what links here" for P.A.Cox, one of the pages shown was yours (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Korg/botanists/list_4). IPNI has P.A.Cox as the standard author abbreviation for Paul Alan Cox, whereas on your botanist page P.A.Cox = Peter Alfred Cox. I've changed the link elsewhere in article space, but hesitate in altering anything that appears in user space, feeling it rude to do so. Please check the links provided, and let me know if you disagree with any changes I've made. Thank you, Hamamelis (talk) 11:04, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Hamamelis, thanks for the info! I wouldn't have minded if you changed the link in my subpage. The abbreviation was erroneously added to the article es:Peter Alfred Cox, then imported to the Wikidata item. I've corrected them. Best regards, Korg (talk) 16:17, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
