Talk:List of dialling codes in the United Kingdom

VfD?
I moved this from List of United Kingdom area codes which could be mistaken for postcodes. I am still not at all sure that this is encyclopedic. I'm tempted to VfD - anyone agree?--Doc (?) 23:45, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't know if it's encyclopedic or not. If it's kept, however, I'd like to recommend a table structure of several rows across, so that one doesn't have to scroll so much. func (talk) 00:06, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I think the content should be kept, in some form. But the formatting leaves plenty to be desired, and I'm not convinced that it's accurate or up-to-date either. Southampton is not even listed! As it stands, I'd agree to delete, but I'd rather someone put on an accurate and nicely formatted list! UkPaolo 12:57, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm willing to tidy it up, but I can't do anything about it at the moment - am at work all day today. I would propose three columns (if they fit) and swapping the towns and codes round so that the codes are listed first - that makes more sense to me (and it would look neater).  I don't think this content is any worse or better than other lists on wikipedia, just badly formatted. -- Francs2000 | Talk  16:52, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Have split list into three columns and put numbers first. Still to do: fact checking and disambiguation of links. -- Francs2000 | Talk  16:42, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. We could just send people to my version but this one has got Wikilinks which makes it so much more useful. I would like to see it move again - to List of United Kingdom dialling codes. -- RHaworth 23:30, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)

We could of course turn your version into a wikified list with your permission, but it would need explaining. -- Francs2000 | Talk 22:05, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * You certainly have my permission to use it. I have added a note at the bottom of the page to confirm that. I will try and find time to do the explaining. -- RHaworth 2005 July 6 06:29 (UTC)

 * Well I can think of better things to do with three hours of my life, but I just sat here and tidied up the whole list. All the links are now fully disambiguated.  What I'm not sure about is whether all of the links are factually correct: there were some glaring inaccuracies in the original submission and there may still be some.  My main reference for cleaning those up has been this website. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 21:26, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

01632
Is this code Birtley (currently pointing to a disambig link) or a fictitious area code? There are several Google links saying it is fictitious. Thanks, Ian Cairns 00:42, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * No match here. MRSC 06:57, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Agreed. My suspicions are that the article has been synchronised against an out-of-date list, despite clear best intentions. Looks like Wiki needs to identify a definitive list and re-synch - we could use 01632 as a litmus test? Any idea where we can find such a definitive list? One area at a time will be deadly... Thanks, Ian Cairns 07:36, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * See Wikipedia 555 telephone number and UK telephone numbering plan for confirmation of 01632 - so it is just this article that is out-of-date. 07:41, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I have found a link to http://www.ofcom.org.uk/telecoms/ioi/numbers/261701.pdf for the current (see date of this comment) geographic area codes and confirm that 01632 is fictitious. Any website that says otherwise must be out of date.... Ian Cairns 08:26, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Ho hum
Much as it pains me to admit, I must have been using an out of date reference when spending four hours cleaning up this article recently. Never mind. Can I just request though that the links that have been added in since my last edit be cleaned up themselves - last time I looked Moscow was the capital city of Russia and was nowhere near the United Kingdom. I don't know which of the other links added are also incorrect. Also can we have confirmation that the large number of dialling codes that have been removed are no longer used in the United Kingdom? -- Francs2000 | Talk 18:37, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

01 only included
Where are the listings for all the 011 codes, the 02 codes, etc?
 * They are at the top of the page, above the 01200 to 01999 entries. That top table could do with splitting into two tables.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.207.209 (talk) 00:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * *DONE* (79.65.168.225 (talk) 12:51, 16 July 2009 (UTC))
 * List now looks to be fully up to date. Ebbsfleet (01987) is probably the most recent litmus test for that. Multiple minor formatting issues have also been fixed. (79.65.208.7 (talk) 15:44, 24 July 2009 (UTC))

Allocation errors in the 01387 and 0138 73 area codes
Dumfries uses the 01387 area code. Langholm uses the 0138 73 area code.

For many years, Ofcom's data for the 01387 and 0138 73 area codes has contained some errors.

The allocations have been listed as:

The allocation at 01387 33xxxx is an obvious error. This number range cannot be using the Dumfries area code.

All numbers beginning 013873xxxxx are, by definition, part of the Langholm area and use the 5+5 number format.

The Langholm area code is 013873, and therefore the correct format for that range is (013873) 3xxxx.

After many years, Ofcom recently corrected this error.

The allocations are now correctly listed as:

(80.42.224.139 (talk) 21:52, 1 September 2010 (UTC))

0169 77 - a long history of errors.
The 016977 area code has had a chequered history. An error in Ofcom's database incorrectly marking 16977 2 and 16977 3 as 4+4 (instead of 5+4) format, and marking 16977 4 and 16977 5 as 4+6 (instead of 5+5) format has essentially hidden the 0169 77 area code from view for many years.
 * Data as shown in 2003 - 2009

BT tried to tell Ofcom about their errors on several occasions. Some websites don't list the 0169 77 area code at all, as the noted incorrect 4+x format in Ofcom's database for 16977 x numbers essentially said that it didn't exist. (79.65.204.163 (talk) 00:26, 3 April 2010 (UTC))

Additionally, part of the 016973 area code has been incorrectly marked as 4+6 instead of 5+5 for a long time. Numbers in the range 16973 8 are supposed to be 5+5 format and within the Wigton area code. 79.70.235.157 (talk) 08:06, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Ofcom's database has recently been partially fixed, and the news that (0169 77) is Brampton should now slowly filter through onto other code lists. BT used to list it, but inadvertently removed all but one of the dozen (01xx xx) area codes from their list last year. They did this when fixing the very long-standing errors with the London and other codes, errors that had been on their site for most of the last decade; but also removed some other items that did not need editing.
 * March 2010

While the errors with 16977 x numbers persisted in Ofcom's database, other number allocations in the 01697 space were made on the assumption that there was no (0169 77) area code, and so this area now has 6-digit numbers beginning 2xxxxx with an (01697) area code as well as 4-digit numbers beginning 2xxx with an (0169 77) area code (which, until very recently, various people incorrectly thought were (01697) 72xx or (01697) 72xxx numbers). It is unclear how local dialling works between the 6-digit and 4-digit schemes, presumably the area code is needed.

Likewise the 16977 0 and 16977 1 ranges that would ordinarily be expected to be NDO number ranges within the (0169 77) area are actually marked as 4+6 format: 01697 70xxxx and 71xxxx. It is also unclear how these numbers are dialled locally.

Additionally, 16977 5 to 16977 9 are marked as 4+6 in the database, but since the (0169 77) area code is now proven to exist for 16977 2 to 16977 4, these numbers should really be 5+5 allocations.

What is clear, is that Wigton (0169 73) 5-digit numbers and Raughton Head (0169 74) 5-digit numbers are not local calls from the rest of the 01697 number range and the area code must always be dialled for those from there. It is unknown whether there are still any 'short code' dialling rules in place anywhere in this area.

Confusion will continue in this area while Brampton has 4, 5 and 6 digit local numbers under two different area codes: 01697 for 6-digit numbers and 0169 77 for the 4-digit and 5-digit numbers; and especially while some numbers with D=7 are incorrectly marked as 4+6 and the others are correctly marked as 5+4 and 5+5.

It would help greatly if the 01697 numbers with 6-digits were associated with some other place name, leaving Brampton as (0169 77) with 4-digit and 5-digit numbers in the same way that (0169 73) is Wigton and (0169 74) is Raughton Head both with 5-digit local number schemes.

After another 7 months delay, Ofcom's data was recently updated again:
 * November 2010
 * (016973) 8xxxx is still marked as 4+6, but should be 5+5.
 * (016977) 0xxxx is now marked "National Dialling Only" but the format is still marked as 4+6, when it should now be 0+10.
 * (016977) 1xxxx is still marked as 4+6, but should be 0+10.
 * (016977) 5xxxx is now correctly reported as 5+5, not 4+6.
 * (016977) 6xxxx to (016977) 9xxxx are still mis-reported as 4+6, but should be 5+5.

This is shown in the following table:

 * (016977) 6xxxx to (016977) 9xxxx are still mis-reported as 4+6, but should be 5+5.

This is shown in the following table:

Merger proposal
As has been discussed on talk page for List of UK dialling codes covering Wales since around April 2007 Edit: 2008, sorry..

As previously mentioned, by Dynam1te3, I think that area codes under the +44 country code belong in one list. If Wales had a country code of its own, I would support preserving this page, but Wales is not Gibraltar, Diego Garcia, Macau or Hong Kong. (Gibraltar and Diego Garcia have country codes of their own, but belong to the UK. Macau and Hong Kong have country codes of their own as well, but belong to China.)

90.208.56.217 (talk) 01:05, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Further, I don't believe the article on UK dialling codes covering Wales adds any extra information. Eventually one code may cover Wales anyway. Any pertinent information could be placed within the full UK article, in its own section if warranted. I suggest this purely for duplication of information - were the dialling system separate, I would see a need. 90.208.56.217 (talk) 01:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Any "merge" of the Welsh list with the UK list would in actual fact simply be a straight "delete" of the Welsh list, since the UK list already lists all of the codes covering Wales. However, I see no problem in having separate pages listing Welsh, or even Scottish for that matter, area codes.(79.73.225.137 (talk) 01:29, 28 July 2010 (UTC))
 * I can't see any reason to have separate pages for what is effectively the same information. As per Merging, a good reason to merge is overlap. To quote, "Wikipedia is not a dictionary; there does not need to be a separate entry for every concept in the universe. For example, "Flammable" and "Non-flammable" can both be explained in an article on Flammability." So far as I can see, the Welsh list contains exactly the same information as contained in the UK list, and seems to me to be needless duplication, which, if needed, could be better covered in a section under the UK list as a whole. 90.208.56.217 (talk) 15:08, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Totally agree, as per This edit. ;) Owain (talk) 06:27, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

There is no need to merge the two articles. List of UK dialling codes covering Wales is far more user friendly than List of United Kingdom dialling codes. Indeed, I recommend creating pages for England, Scotland and Northern Ireland along the same lines (see what I did there?). Daicaregos (talk) 08:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I was going to agree with this merger and suggest a split of the UK list into sections for England, Scotland, Wales and NI. But due to the current layout, it would be inappropriate. Therefore I'd reccommend keeping this list, and support Diacaregos' reccommendation for seperate lists for England, Scotland and NI, as it is not obvious on the UK list which codes belong to which nation. On Wikipedia, things are generally done by each different nation rather than the UK as a whole, e.g. Economy of Scotland, Transport in Wales and History of England.  Welsh leprechaun  10:16, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I can see your rationale, but at the same time, I'd think that those articles exist because of differing histories, economies, and transport systems; whereas the UK dialling code system isn't differentiated along those lines, and is one system (so far as I'm aware). For an example, there's a list of UK by-elections, UK think tanks, and UK police forces - as at present, the information doesn't need to be split by constituent country (although perhaps the police forces may be better served split... but that's something for another time). My preference would be for a UK list, perhaps divided into sections, as splitting the list up into different pages constituent country doesn't currently seem to yield any different information. I think that things are generally done by different nation when the information itself differs. However, while I disagree that different lists are required, because the information is not inherently constituent nation specific, I could live with the information split into Wales, Scotland, England, and NI lists:- rather than the current situation which is kind of a mixture of both.~Cortal UX Talk? 22:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * (Just a disclosure, all edits by 90.208.56.217 on this toopic were done by myself; I was unable to login previously. )~Cortal UX Talk? 22:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

It would seem to me that from a practical view the list would be better served on one page. If one wanted to answer the question, "Which place is served by UK dialing code 0xxxx" then it is all on one page. It's not obvious from the code itself that it might be in any one of the four constituent countries, and the only practical gain (i.e. beyond patriotism) added by splitting is that the pages themselves are smaller. But searching for a particular code is harder, and I think that outweighs that advantage.

Personally I find the multicolumn format of the list makes it less accessible than a longer list with code and place in separate columns – and such a list could have another column added for country. However I imagine this has been discussed before.

Are there places along the border where an area code is used in both England and Wales? I'd imagine so (though of course the exchange will only be in one of the countries). Si Trew (talk) 16:59, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree that one single list is more practically useful, and there are of course area codes that cross borders, e.g. Saltney (Wales) uses the Chester (England) code 01244, and Cornhill-on-Tweed (England) uses the Coldstream (Scotland) code 01890. Maintaining separate lists for Wales and Scotland would duplicate information unnecessarily, and a list for Northern Ireland would only have one code on it anyway.  --Deskford (talk) 21:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

There is something that I would like to throw in at this point: Germany has 9 seperate area code pages. However, this seperation does only exist because Germany has 5200 area codes which would be too much for one article. The UK has way less than 520 area codes, so I think it would be acceptable to keep them all in one page. Note that the German area codes are split up by numbering range, not by Federated Country. This wouldn't make much sense anyway because some states (e.g. Berlin - 030) would only have one area code on their page, just like Northern Ireland. -- 62.156.56.125 (talk) 23:37, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Two letter codes?
There are two letter codes after many towns in the list. What are they? Why aren't they explained in the article? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:27, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The two letter codes are listed in the first two references cited and are explained in great detail in Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom (82.22.199.75 (talk) 15:55, 30 October 2010 (UTC))
 * But these alpha codes have had no status for at least 30 years. I can't see any reason to display them in an article that describes the current (2010) dialling codes. I don't deny that they are of historical interest, but that implies that they belong in an article that describes the history of STD. They don't belong here. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a list of United Kingdom telephone dialling codes. It is based on Ofcom's area code list, but includes defunct codes and historical changes, including the derivation of the two letter identities where known. It is certainly not just a verbatim copy of Ofcom's list. If that were so, the article should simply be deleted in its entirety, and people referred to Ofcom's site. (77.99.179.33 (talk) 22:42, 1 November 2010 (UTC))
 * Fair enough, but throughout the list, historic designations which are no longer current are given in grey. Wolverton (in Milton Keynes), which contributed the WO8 to 0908, is one such. It certainly should be included, but it should be in grey like the others. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:03, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

 * The area code list combines many different things: current codes and names, as well as changes to various area codes in the 1960s (scrapping the 00 codes), 1970s (the creation of the 091 area code), 1990s (phONEday and Reading changes), 2000 (Big Number Change), and so on. As far as I can see, greyed out entries are those where the old area code name has moved to a different area code number.(80.42.227.86 (talk) 19:02, 7 November 2010 (UTC))
 * The derivation of the two letter codes is not consistent. Many codes like 01483 — Guildford (GU) are straightforward. However the derivation of many other codes is not so easy. Some come from the name of the county, such as 01209 — Redruth, Cornwall (CO). In this case Cornwall is not a part of the official name for the area but there's no need to grey it out because Redruth is still in Cornwall. Others come from an exchange name which is not the main name associated with the area code, such as 01834 — Narberth, Tenby (TE). There's no need to grey that out, because all Tenby numbers are still within the 01834 area code. They have not moved to a different code. Likewise for 01908 — Milton Keynes, Wolverton (WO), Wolverton numbers are still within the 01908 area code. Those numbers have not migrated to a different area code, so there is no need to grey this name out. Greying out is solely for places that have moved to a different area code. This is not the case here. For comparison, the 01906 entry is greyed out, because Worthing 0906 numbers were moved to 0903 back in the 1980s.(80.42.227.86 (talk) 19:02, 7 November 2010 (UTC))

I still think that the lede needs an explanation of the TLCs. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:03, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

UK international dialing code, and how to use it, please ?
I came to this page to find out how to give my UK phone number to someone in another country, and I can't see it mentioned at all. Please would someone add the international dialing code for the UK, and how to interpret it related to the number, preferably at the top of this article ? If this is already in another article, please would you put a link to it at the top of the page ? Many thanks, Darkman101 (talk) 15:10, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The article at Telephone numbers in the United Kingdom listed in the "see also" links at bottom of the article page explains it. Formatting is mentioned only a few paragraphs in. (80.42.239.241 (talk) 00:26, 7 December 2010 (UTC))

Special consideration of subcodes under 023?
Is it worth mentioning that the codes 023 92 (Portsmouth) and 023 80 (Southampton) are geographically separated (codes such as 01329 Fareham come between them). What are Ofcom's plans for new codes once these existing codes are filled up? 86.13.158.235 (talk) 10:44, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The plan a decade ago was to gradually convert all of the UK to the 2+8 numbering scheme, where single (02x) area codes would each cover a whole region such as South-west, Wales, Midlands, Scotland, etc. It was the right move for London, and for Northern Ireland. It was abandoned very early on, but only after Cardiff, Southampton, Portsmouth, and Coventry had also started using it. Recent consultations have put forward the idea that local numbers beginning 0 and 1 would be introduced and the area code not made optional for local calls. An alternative was to have two area codes in each area using an overlay system. Another option, seemingly ignored so far, is for local numbers to change from six to seven digits when a shortage occurs. {79.70.227.68 (talk) 10:15, 15 May 2011 (UTC)}

Areas with closed local dialling
In this section it says "In the following area local calls must be dialled using the area code from the date shown". Why is that please? --JetBlast (talk) 11:33, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

 * In the 1980s BT changed 3 and 4 digit local numbers in small towns and villages to 5 or 6 digits depending on demand, and changed 4 and 5 digit local numbers in larger towns and in cities to 6 digits. These places mostly had 3-digit area codes (e.g. 0205, 0303, 0602, etc). A few 4-digit codes remained (e.g. 03873, 06977, etc) with 5-digit local numbers (and one with 4-digit local numbers).
 * In the 1980s, six cities moved to 7-digit local numbers with 2-digit area codes (e.g. 021, 041, 091, etc). London had a 1-digit area code (e.g. 01) plus 7 digit local numbers.
 * Subscriber numbers always began with the digits 20 through to 98 and the maximium total number length was 9 digits (area code plus local number). Local numbers could be dialled with or without area code from within the same area. Leading 0 signified an area code followed. Originally 010, but later 00, signified that a country code for an international call followed. Leading 1 signified numbers for operator services and the like, and 99 plus another 9 called the emergency services.
 * In 1995, all geographic area codes moved to begin 01 (e.g. 01303, 0131, 013873, 01488, 016977, 0191, etc), and six more cites moved from 6 to 7 digit local numbers and to new, shorter, area codes (e.g. 0114, 0117, etc). Maximum number length was now 10 digits.
 * In 2000 several places moved to 8 digit local numbers with 2-digit area codes (e.g. 020, 023, 029, etc). This continued the 10-digit maximum number length policy.
 * In the 1980s and 1990s there were only a few phone companies: BT, Cable and Wireless, etc. Telephone numbers were issued in blocks of 10 000 and latterly 1000 as the number of operators increased. An operator will have a block of 1000 numbers even if they only have one customer with one telephone line. Nowadays there are several hundred phone companies. Many operators have reserved blocks of numbers in every area code in anticipation of having customers in the future. As a consequence, several dozen area codes now have very few free blocks of numbers left.
 * In the past, areas with 6-digit local numbers that have run out of numbers have simply moved to 7 or 8 digit local numbers and to a shorter area code. Ofcom has decided to no longer do that. Instead, they now issue local numbers beginning 0 or 1. In order for the system to know what you mean when you want to call 01202 001111 from another 01202 number you have to dial the code as well, otherwise it would think you were making an international call. To retain consistent dialling for all numbers within the area, you have to dial the area code for all local numbers. Brighton, Norwich and a number of other places are set to adopt this system in the next couple of years.
 * Issuing numbers beginning 0 or 1 is only a short term solution. When those also run out, Ofcom have indicated that they will issue a second area code covering the same places as the original area code. You could have the situation where a shop is 01202 123456 and the shop next door is 01201 123456. The UK is following the same confusing route that the US adopted some years ago.
 * In the 1990s, geographic number changes occurred because of the massive demand for new numbers for second lines for fax machines and internet access, etc, and to free up more codes for mobile phones and non-geographic numbers. The changes happening now are not happening because of a massive demand for extra numbers but instead they are caused by Ofcom's wasteful policy of allowing hundreds of phone companies to stockpile tens of millions of phone numbers that they will likely never use. - 79.70.227.143 (talk) 14:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Eagle Rare

Eagle Rare is a brand of bourbon whiskey distilled and distributed by the Buffalo Trace Distillery. Eagle Rare is 90 proof bourbon, aged for either 10 or 17 years, depending on the variety. It was introduced in 1975 and is distilled in Frankfort, Kentucky.

History
Eagle Rare was originally a 101-proof ten-year-old (not single-barrel) Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from Seagram created by master distiller Charles L. Beam. Introduced in 1975, Eagle Rare was among the last new bourbon brands introduced prior to the current era of 'small-batch bourbons'. Eagle Rare has been distilled, bottled and/or marketed by a number of companies, including the Old Prentice Distillery of Frankfort, KY.

The Sazerac Company, an American family-owned producer and importer based in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the parent company of five distilleries, acquired Eagle Rare from Seagram in March 1989. Sazerac's Kentucky distillery was then known as the George T. Stagg Distillery. Today the distillery is known as the Buffalo Trace Distillery.

The original 101-proof ten-year-old non-single-barrel bourbon has been discontinued as of March 2005.

Varieties
Rare Eagle's standard variety is aged for ten years (in charred new oak barrels, as with all bourbons), and bottled at 90 U.S. proof.

A second variety, first offered in 2000, is aged seventeen years and is called part of an "Antique Collection". From 2000 to 2017 it was originally bottled at 90 proof, like the ten year offering. Starting with the 2018 release, it has been released at 101 proof.

In 2019, a 20-year-old limited edition expression of Eagle Rare Bourbon Whiskey named “Double Eagle Very Rare” at 101 proof was released at an MSRP of $2,000 a bottle.

A 25-year aged bourbon called “Eagle Rare 25” was also produced in extremely limited quantity. It is the oldest aged Eagle Rare product.

Awards and reviews
Eagle Rare's 10-year variation was given an above-average score of 92 by the Beverage Testing Institute. In 2013, Eagle Rare Single Barrel Bourbon was awarded the inaugural Bourbon Trophy at the International Wine & Spirits Competition in the United Kingdom. The 17-year expression has performed similarly.

Eagle Rare 10 Year won the following notable awards in 2016:
 * Gold Medal; Best Age Statement Bourbon – World Whiskies Awards (Whisky Magazine)
 * Gold Medal – San Francisco World Spirits Competition

Food critic Morgan Murphy rated the brand highly, saying "Without question, the award-winner tastes as rich as it looks."

IGPX

IGPX: Immortal Grand Prix (IGPX インモータル・グランプリ) refers to two anime series co-produced by Production I.G and Cartoon Network. The first is a "microseries" consisting of five 5-minute episodes, and the second is a 26-episode animated series loosely related to the first.

IGPX microseries
The Immortal Grand Prix is a tournament between teams of gun-wielding mechs. As Team Velshtein is injured, the random drawing chooses Team Suzaku, led by pilot Takeshi Noa, as the one to face Team Sledge Mamma, a trio of cybernetically enhanced cyborgs. At first, Team Suzaku does not have weapons because their mechanic U-Matsu forgot them. Amy delivers weapons from Velshtein, but Team Suzaku has a hard time controlling them. Amy's cat co-pilot Luca takes control and knocks Timmer out of his mech. Liz, out of ammo, uses her capoeira image training. She is eventually at the mercy of an opposing pilot and surrenders. The Sledge Mamma mechs shoot at Takeshi, but Amy jumps in to save him and is knocked out of the game. After being kicked around by the Sledge Mamma mechs, Takeshi reveals his plan. Using his ninjatō and shuriken, he knocks Dimmer and Yammer out of their mechs and wins. However, the series ends on a bitter note as Velshtein's owner Hamgra blackmails Team Suzaku to merge their teams and allow him to add cybernetic enhancements to their pilots, or else he will make them pay for the weapons they borrowed. This conflict is never resolved due to the end of the microseries.

English cast

 * Beau Billingslea – Yammer
 * Steven Blum – Cunningham
 * Sandy Fox – Amy
 * Steve Kramer – Timmer
 * Lex Lang – Metoo
 * Wendee Lee – BT
 * Julie Maddalena – Luca
 * Michael McConnohie – Dimmer
 * Jamieson Price – Hamgra
 * Michelle Ruff – Suzaku
 * Joshua Seth – Takeshi Noa
 * Julie Ann Taylor – PA
 * Kirk Thornton – Umatsu
 * Kari Wahlgren – Liz

IGPX TV series
The IGPX TV series made its hour-long premiere on November 5, 2005, at 10/9c. The series is set in 2049 and revolves around the Immortal Grand Prix, or IGPX, which is a mecha racing/battle circuit. The sport is so popular that an entire city has been built for the racing industry, where competitions take place on a huge 60 mi track. In the IGPX, two teams of three mechs, high-tech fighting machines driven by humans, race at speeds greater than 350 mi/h. The IGPX also contains fighting elements; attacking the opposing team to disable their mechs (thus preventing them from winning the race) is not only legal, but also expected. Team Satomi, a crew of amateur pilots, has just won a minor-league championship, the IG-2, vaulting them into the sport's highest level, the IG-1. Now, the untested rookies of Team Satomi must overcome impossible odds and beat the world's most skilled and ruthless pilots.

The anime is Toonami's first ever original television series.

English cast

 * Haley Joel Osment – Takeshi Jin
 * Hynden Walch – Amy Stapleton
 * Michelle Rodriguez – Liz Riccaro

 * Kim Strauss – Sir Hamgra
 * Julie Ann Taylor – Boy A
 * Kirk Thornton – Mark Ramsay
 * Cristina Vee – Sage Rublev
 * Andre Ware – Dimma
 * Dave Wittenberg – Frank Bullitt, Jan Michael, Timma

IGPX promotions

 * A promotional DVD featuring the Comic-Con early cut of episode 1 ("Time to Shine"), the IGPX trailer, music, and a screensaver was distributed with Anime Insider v. 26 (November 2005) and Nintendo Power v. 198 (December 2005).
 * Special editions of the U.S. DVD volume 1 release came with a puff pack artbox, a Team Satomi T-shirt, the first episode from the microseries and team stickers, one for each of the teams from season one.

Allusions

 * Fantine Valjean's name is an allusion to the characters Fantine and Jean Valjean in the book Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. Likewise, Team Skylark member Elisa has the same name as the main character of Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw and as the leading lady in My Fair Lady.
 * Andrei Rublev bears the name of a Russian iconographer.
 * In the episode "Cat vs. Dog", the owner of Team Edgeraid bears a striking resemblance to Gendo Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion. The man also sits with his hands crossed over his face, which was notably done by Gendo and has since been done in many other anime series. This character insertion was probably due to Production I.G working on both IGPX and the Evangelion movies.
 * In "Cat vs. Dog", the mecha of Team Edge Raid have GITS painted on their arms. This is a reference to Ghost in the Shell, a franchise animated by Production I.G, who also animated IGPX. Team Satomi's mechs have the word Absolute painted on their arms, a nod to the "Absolution" spaceship featured in the Toonami commercial bumpers.
 * In the final episode of IGPX, Team Black Egg's symbol is shown on the TV located on one of the triple towers that surround the track, which only shows team emblems for IG-1. This suggests that Black Egg has regained their spot in IG-1, replacing Team Skylark after they are demoted to IG-2.
 * In the eighth episode of Reideen, a banner titled "Satomi" hangs in the city that Saiga Junki (the main protagonist) lives in. Production I.G's studio created both the IGPX and Reideen anime series. Both series were directed by Mitsuru Hongo.

Production
Koichi Mashimo co-wrote and directed the microseries, while Bee Train and Production I.G animated it, and Bandai Entertainment acted as the North American distributor. The full-length anime series was handled by director and writer Mitsuru Hongo and was animated by Production I.G, with Bee Train returning for in-between animation. Production I.G president Mitsuhisa Ishikawa joined on as producer for the series. It was the first time he had worked on a joint U.S. Japanese production, due to the Pokémon companion franchise.

The series' English dub was produced by Williams Street in Atlanta, Georgia and Bang Zoom! Entertainment in Burbank, California. Both studios collaborated on the English script and casting, Bang Zoom directed and recorded the actors, and Williams Street handled the final mixing for the dub.

The program returned to the Toonami block on April 28, 2013, at 2 a.m. ET on Adult Swim. On November 21, 2014, anime distributor Discotek Media announced their license to the TV series and re-released both cuts (including Toonami cut and Production I.G cut) of the series on DVD on February 9, 2016. Discotek announced a Blu-ray version on October 17, 2023, which was released on May 28, 2024. Diskotek Media's HD remastered version of the first two episodes of the show were aired commercial-free on Adult Swim on November 5, 2023, as part of the Daylight savings time bonus hour on the Toonami block to celebrate the show's 18th anniversary since its initial run on Cartoon Network and to promote its Blu-ray release. The show returned in full to the Toonami block with the HD remastered version on November 12, 2023.

Media
An IGPX video game was released on September 12, 2006, for the PlayStation 2 by Bandai Namco.

Meloodia picture
Hello, what's the source for Image:Meloodia.jpg? If it's taken from Tallink's website it should be okay to use here by fairuse under United States copyright law. If it's from a private collection you need to ask for permission to use it on Wikipedia under GFDL. It's a good idea to state source and license when uploading an image. I saw you did some nice editing on Tallink, keep up the good work! bbx 16:17, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh .. I can't verify the sources of the picture to be honest, I saved it somewhere at some point, no idea from where though. I'll replace it with one of which I can verify the source (took this one as it is better than anything I took myself) as "OK" ChiLlBeserker 17:05, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It's great if you can upload a picture you have taken yourself, then you can provide it with a free license which fits Wikipedia. By the way, are you planning on making articles about other ships? bbx 01:18, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * If I get to it :D .. Ships I have some access to information to or know a bit about at least. Tallink is very open about the history of their ships, so some more Tallink ships shouldn't be a problem. I would like to write information on other lines in the region too, but I have not had time to look into those yet. I'll have to look through my pictures and see which ships I can find pictures of for that matter. ChiLlBeserker 09:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I hope you will get to it :) When i write about ships my best source is the Swedish site Fakta om fartyg, unfortunatly its not availiable in English. bbx 19:44, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I can read Scandinavian languages well enough (am currently in contact with a lot of Norwegian, which has been getting easier and easier for me to understand. As soon as I got some of the prepositions and pronouns, knowing German started being a very great help) that it won't be completely useless to me. I've been using ferry-site.dk for a lot of the raw numbers, though most of the facts are on the Tallink page too. Definitely helps to keep an overview though. Will look into that site though if it has helpful stuff too whenever I get to writing more articles :) (planning to work on anything on the Helsinki-Tallinn line at least, though not sure where I will start next yet.)

Image Tagging Image:Keyboard Layout Estonian.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Keyboard Layout Estonian.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Edited Wien Nordbahnhof
I followed a link in the German-to-English Translation Needed - Vienna Project to your article "requiring proofreading" on the Nordbahnhof. I speak German (see profile) and my mother, Susi Lanner was from Vienna. I've been there briefly a couple of times myself.

I changed a key date (see Page History) in the article, and re-translated a few words without reference to the German original, so would you mind vetting the result? If you approve of the result (or your further edit of it), would you adjust the article's status in the list where I found it?

If you know of other important material that you think might benefit from the kind of treatment I gave your article, do feel free to suggest. Otherwise, I'll browse the "translation needed" lists and perhaps undertake a translation myself eventually (I have G>E translation experience).

Non-free use disputed for Image:Tallink.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Tallink.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The 1000 Challenge (Baltic)
Hi. I see you are listed as a member of a WikiProject of a Baltic state. I was wondering if anybody who actively works on Estonian, Lithuanian or Latvian articles, would be interested in launching your own The 1000 Challenge (Baltic), based on the The 1000 Challenge (Nordic) and The 10,000 Challenge. The idea would be to try to bring about 1000 article improvements and creations on this region as an enjoyable challenge and potentially things like National Contests with prizes. If you'd be interested and think it's something you might regularly contribute to, comment and sign up at Talk:Baltic states. If there is interest we can move this to a project somewhere and set something up, thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:26, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:46, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Virginia State Route 120

State Route 120 (SR 120) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. Known as Glebe Road, the state highway runs 9.10 mi from U.S. Route 1 (US 1) in Crystal City north to SR 123 at the Chain Bridge. SR 120 is a partial circumferential highway in Arlington County that connects the southeastern and northwestern corners of the county with several urban villages along its crescent-shaped path, including Ballston. The state highway also connects all of the major highways in Virginia that radiate from Washington, including Interstate 395, I-66, US 50, and US 29. SR 120 is a part of the National Highway System for its entire length.

Route description
SR 120 begins at an intersection with US 1 (Richmond Highway) at the south end of Crystal City, just north of the city of Alexandria––though Glebe Road actually continues three blocks east of US 1 where it ends at Potomac Avenue. The state highway heads west as a four-lane divided highway through the Arlington County sewage treatment facility. West of the facility, SR 120 parallels the Four Mile Run Trail and Four Mile Run, both to the south, and passes to the south of the Arlington Ridge community. At the point the old alignment of SR 120, also named Glebe Road, crosses Four Mile Run into Alexandria, the state highway veers northwest away from the stream and meets I-395 (Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway) at a partial cloverleaf interchange north of Shirlington. North of the freeway, SR 120 passes between the historic Lomax African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and Army Navy Country Club. North of its oblique intersection with Walter Reed Drive, the state highway passes through the commercial center of Westmont, where the highway intersects SR 244 (Columbia Pike). North of Westmont, SR 120 has a partial cloverleaf interchange with US 50 (Arlington Boulevard) adjacent to the Cathedral of Saint Thomas More.

SR 120 continues north onto Ballston, where the highway expands to six lanes at Quincy Street. The state highway passes by Ballston Quarter and the adjacent MedStar Capitals Iceplex, practice rink of the Washington Capitals. SR 120 veers north at Wilson Boulevard and passes by the Arlington Center of Northern Virginia Community College at Fairfax Drive, which heads east as SR 237 toward Clarendon and west as ramps to and from I-66 toward Falls Church. The state highway runs concurrently with SR 237 for two blocks north to Washington Boulevard, onto which SR 237 heads west toward Falls Church. Just north of Washington Boulevard, SR 120 has a partial interchange with I-66 that allows access to and from the direction of Washington and where the highway crosses the Custis Trail.

SR 120 leaves Ballston as a four-lane divided highway that passes by The Glebe House and intersects US 29 (Lee Highway). The state highway has an oblique intersection with SR 309 (Old Dominion Drive) on an overpass of Yorktown Boulevard adjacent to Marymount University. At Williamsburg Boulevard, SR 120 veers northeast to parallel the Arlington–Fairfax county line. At the top of its descent to the Potomac River, the state highway has a partial cloverleaf interchange with Military Road, a residential street, and reduces to a two-lane undivided road. The highway has a sweeping curve to the north and passes below the George Washington Memorial Parkway immediately before its northern terminus at SR 123 (Chain Bridge Road), which connects SR 120 with the Parkway. The road continues straight as SR 123 to the Chain Bridge, which crosses the Potomac River just below Little Falls to an intersection with Canal Road and the Clara Barton Parkway in Washington a short distance east of the District of Columbia–Maryland boundary.

History
A road along the present path of SR 120 has existed at least since the 1750s. This road, linking Alexandria to Great Falls, was first known as the "Road to the Falls." It took its present name from the nearby glebe lands that were used to support the clergy of the colonial Fairfax Parish of the Church of England; those lands also gave their name to the historic Glebe House, which was built in the 19th century on the former glebe property and sits near what is now SR 120.

SR 120 appeared in its current form in the 1940 renumbering, replacing a small part of SR 9, which itself had replaced the original designation of SR 25 in the 1933 renumbering. The majority of SR 25 became SR 123 in 1940.

Another SR 120 was designated in Franklin County in the 1933 renumbering, which consisted of two sections. One was the present-day SR 739 from its intersection with the present-day US 220 at Boones Mill westward for 5 mi. The other was the present-day SR 602 from its intersection with SR 40 near Ferrum northward for 5 mi.

Glebe Road intersects through several areas that have seen an increase in pedestrian traffic since the 1970s. Arlington County and local citizens started discussions on improving pedestrian safety in 2003; the implementation of these started in 2013 and is scheduled to complete in 2014.

Daniel Hamilton (Canadian politician)

Daniel Roy Hamilton (23 April 1892—September 4, 1965) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal-Progressive from 1941 to 1953.

Hamilton was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1941 provincial election. A member of the governing Liberal-Progressive party, he defeated a pro-government independent named G.L. Van Vleit, 683 votes to 297, in the remote northern riding of Rupertsland. During this period, elections in Rupertsland were usually held at least two weeks after the rest of the province had voted because of difficulties in accessibility.

Hamilton defeated another pro-government candidate in the 1945 provincial election, and won by acclamation in 1949. He served as a government backbencher during his time in the legislature, through the Liberal-Progressive administrations of John Bracken, Stuart Garson and Douglas Campbell.

During his time in the legislature, Hamilton repeatedly urged that aboriginal Canadians living in Manitoba be given the right to vote. This was permitted by an act of the legislature in 1952. He retired from politics in 1953.

Where on earth did the following statement come from:

"...Rather than await the "quick fix" diabetes cure, which medical authorities have promised to develop for 30 years..."

Statements like this do not inspire confidence in the data presented. Is there a reference to the "medical authorities" promising to develop a "quick fix diabetes cure"???

Neutral language
NPOV is needed in this article. Also, many items are cited as "fact" that are unverified or unverifiable. It is perhaps insensitive to say this, but the article is often more polemic than instructive. "Where does the number 25,000 come from?" "Where is the 52-year life expectancy referenced?" "'It is said' that additional funds would help - by whom? And with what relevance?"

Simply because there is a bitter history is not a good reason not to give sources of verification: if anything it is a very good reason to give irrefutable evidence and to keep the claims completely verifiable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.60.159.10 (talk • contribs).

Drug trafficking
A previous edit claimed that many on the reservation were involved in and profiting from illegal drug trafficking and the smuggling of undocumented ("illegal") immigrants. In response to a citation request, they cited David Kelly's LA Times article "Illegal Traffic Disrupts Reservation in Arizona." An incorrect web address was given for this in the citation section. I tracked down the article, which should be able to accessed at this [|link]

However, there is absolutely NO REFERENCE in this article to the possibility that reservation residents are profiting from or actively involved in either drug trade or illegal immigration enterprises. Instead, the article consistently demonstrates reservation residents as opposed and irritated by both practices. I have no doubt that there may in fact be individuals on the reservation (like anywhere else) who choose to become involved in illegal enterprises, but David Kelly's article is a lousy source for this. If you want to insist on this point, you need to find a decent source which actually supports this, or else leave it out.Erik.w.davis 20:10, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Taxes and payments
The statement "In addition, there is a one-time monetary distribution to each Tohono O'odham upon reaching 18 years of age. The one-time distribution (called "the Thou" from the fact that at one point it was one thousand dollars) is presently $2,000 and is from the United States government in satisfaction of treaty obligations with the tribe" has no refrence work cited. What treaty is the writer refering to. Unsupoported statements such as these perpetuate the thought that Native Americans are living off of the government.---Julturney (talk) 15:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I am bcoming more and more convinced that it is in fact, more the other way around. According to current interpretation of the law, all native americans, and their land may be taxed (by state and local govts) unless it is held in trust by the federal government, regardless of the fact that they receive no services. Our govenment has millions of acres that are supposed to be native american, that were psuedo -annexed, with the proceeds to go to the native americans as a sort of rent.-you can argue semantics and I'm not being very clear-but this is the only reason the US is supposed to pay... we stole their land.

Pronunciation
The article desperately needs a pronunciation guide, either in the phonetic symbols no one understands or in common phonetic English, of "O'odham." It looks a bit like an Irish name, but is it pronounced like "oodam," "odam", Oh, Odam" "Owed ham" "Oh oddham," "Owed'em" or what? It is unencyclopedic to just throw out some letters of the alphabet and expect readers to understand how the non-English word is pronounced. A recording by a native speaker of the language would be extremely helpful. Edison (talk) 02:50, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Factual error to Tohono O'odham Nation history.
There is a factual error on the Tohono O'odham page. The original reservation, the Papago Indian Reservation,established in 1874, is now the San Xavier District.

National Forum on Europe

The National Forum on Europe (Fóram Náisiúnta um an Eoraip) was established by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, TD, in the aftermath of the rejection of the Treaty of Nice by the Irish people in 2001. It exists to provide a forum for debate between senior politicians in Ireland and informed observers from abroad, to promote wider public participation and to inform the Irish public in a non-partisan and neutral manner about developments in the European Union.

Working of the Forum
The operation of the Forum was based on the Forum for Peace and Reconciliation (FPR), with an independent secretariat headed by the Assistant Secretary from the Department of the Taoiseach, and membership consisted of representatives from the Oireachtas and nominees based on the 1997 general election.

The Observer Pillar of the Forum played a full part in all of its work. It included groups who had campaigned for and against the Nice Treaty and social partner organisations like IBEC, Irish Congress of Trade Unions and European Anti Poverty Network.

Representatives of political parties in Ireland and figures from the European Parliament addressed the forum, such as Peter Sutherland, Pat Cox, Jens Peter Bonde MEP, and David Byrne (former Commissioner).

A number of organisations made presentations and submissions, such as the Irish Farmers Association, National Platform, People's Movement, Institute for European Affairs, Peace and Neutrality Alliance, Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC), Union representatives, and the representatives of the main churches in Ireland. The forum held sessions in Dublin Castle, but also a number of events and meetings around the country.

RTÉ Broadcaster Mr Derek Davis was the host at one of the sessions for the forum in Kilmainham.

EU Constitution
The forum held discussions on the EU Constitution, and debates around Ireland, it also hosted events where politicians spoke in favour the Constitution. After the rejection by the people of France and the Netherlands, the forum or government did not support a referendum on the EU Constitution. A proposal in the Forum from the European Anti Poverty Network that there should be a cross-cutting clause requiring all EU institutions to take account of social inclusion in al policies was taken up by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and, on the proposal of the Irish Government, became part of the Constitution and subsequently the Lisbon Treaty.

Lisbon Treaty
The Forum was used in the buildup to the Lisbon Treaty and after the treaty's rejection, in it was used as a platform for discussion on the treaty.

Closure of the Forum
In April 2009 the forum was closed by a taoiseach Brian Cowen, the decision was controversial and condemned by a variety of groups, particularly those who campaigned against the Lisbon treaty, such as the Peoples Movement, The Workers Party, and others such as the European Anti Poverty Network which saw it as a useful forum for debate on European issues not confined to referendums. Spokesperson for the pro-Lisbon Treaty Labour Party, Joe Costello, also condemned the closure of the forum, as did his party colleague Labour Party MEP Proinsias de Rossa.

European Space Agency
ESA - interesting and informative. I've started to improve this article and actually I think it really has improved, however it could be even better! I urge all Europeans to help bring this article to FA-niveau. Themanwithoutapast 23:51, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks good but not near FA status yet, I think. I'm missing information (a time frame?) on launches, and disasters/crashes (I believe there are a few!). Also, aren't there any books on the ESA? Some references would add a lot to the article. -- Cugel 14:31, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Added some references - regarding the timeframe, do you mean a more detailed history section or a list of launches - a list wouldn't really add to the article. Themanwithoutapast 21:35, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Need references. External links should be moved to external link section from main body and linked with notes. Too many lists, too little content, it should at least double in size before it is comprehensive enough for FAC. For example, the 'Current projects' should be transformed from bullets to paras. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:40, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * External links should be moved to external link section from main body and linked with notes are you referring to wikifootnotes? As far as I know they are not required in the wikipedia FA criterias. As to the content issue - I think now it is quite detailed, or do you still feel it's to short? Themanwithoutapast 00:47, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes it looks good. There's perhaps a little too much emphasis on future space exploration plans, which can (and often do) evaporate depending on funding changes. But that could be counter-balanced with more history details, &c. — RJH 15:23, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * One thing that stuck out at me is the comparison between the ESA and NASA in the Budget section. It sounds partially like an excuse for the ESA and partially like a NASA-bashing exercise, neither of which is appropriate. There's good content there, and some comparison should undoubtedly be made, but I think it should be reworded. Oh yeah, it also misses an important point — ESA is only a space agency where NASA is an aerospace agency that also spends lots on atmospheric R&D type stuff. -Lommer | talk 01:23, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, the budget section was certainly not intended as to "bash NASA". Could you add some more details on the POV-argument of the budget section? And you are right, ESA is merely a space agency, however research in aeronautics is carried through by the national space agencies such as DLR, CNES and above all the majoritly national owned EADS corporation. As with regard to NASA, although having a branch of aeronautics, it has always had its major emphasis on space and nearly all of its budget is spent for space-related activities. Themanwithoutapast 21:35, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * ad "space agency" vs. "aerospace agency" -> I've just checked the budget figures of NASA and discovered that for 2005 only 900 million are allocated to Aeronautics out of the 16 billion overall budget. This means that 94 % of NASA's funds are used for space-related activity, therefore this distinction between ESA and NASA appears less important - I will nevertheless add a note on this matter in the article.

First Doctor

The First Doctor is the original incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. He was portrayed by actor William Hartnell in the first three series from 1963 to 1966 and the tenth anniversary story The Three Doctors from 1972 to 1973. The character would occasionally appear in the series after Hartnell's death, most prominently as portrayed by Richard Hurndall in the 1983 multi-doctor special "The Five Doctors", and as portrayed by David Bradley in the 2017 Twelfth Doctor episodes "The Doctor Falls" and "Twice Upon a Time" and in the 2022 Thirteenth Doctor episode "The Power of the Doctor", the latter previously having portrayed Hartnell himself in the 2013 biopic An Adventure in Space and Time.

Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in the TARDIS, frequently with companions. At the end of life, the Doctor regenerates; as a result, the physical appearance and personality of the Doctor changes. The concept of regeneration, initially referred to as a "renewal", was introduced when Hartnell left the series due to his increasingly bad health, consequently extending the series' life into the following century, with Hartnell being succeeded by the Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton).

Hartnell's portrayal of the character was initially a stubborn and abrasive old man who was distrustful of humans, but ultimately mellowed out into a more compassionate, grandfatherly figure who adored his travels with his companions. The First Doctor's original companions were his granddaughter Susan Foreman (Carole Ann Ford) and her schoolteachers Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill). In later episodes, he travelled alongside 25th-century orphan Vicki (Maureen O'Brien), space pilot Steven Taylor (Peter Purves), Trojan handmaiden Katarina (Adrienne Hill), and sixties flower child Dodo Chaplet (Jackie Lane). His final on-screen companions were the working class sailor Ben Jackson (Michael Craze) and the sophisticated socialite Polly (Anneke Wills). Of the 134 episodes Hartnell appeared in as a regular, 44 are missing.

Character biography
The First Doctor is a character shrouded in mystery; little is known about him at the outset except that he has a granddaughter, Susan Foreman, and that they come from their own planet. He has a ship that travels through time and space, the TARDIS, which is currently disguised as a police box (Susan notes that it used to be able to change to blend in with its surroundings), and is bigger on the inside. The Doctor describes himself and Susan as "exiles" without specifying why or even whether their exile is self-imposed. It would not be until the last adventure of the Doctor's second incarnation that the name of the Doctor's people (the Time Lords) would be revealed, and the third incarnation before the name of his home planet (Gallifrey) was first spoken.

The series' first episode opens with a pair of schoolteachers in contemporary (1963) London, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, investigating the mystery of Susan, a student who seems confused and even frustrated at how what she is learning in history and especially mathematics seems to be wrong. Following Susan to her supposed home, they discover the TARDIS in a junkyard, surprising both Susan and her grandfather the Doctor, who launches the ship in response to the discovery. Ian and Barbara are involuntarily taken on a journey back to the year 100,000 BC and spend two years adventuring through time and space with the Doctor, who at this point in the series has no control over the navigation systems of the TARDIS.

It was as this incarnation that the Doctor first met the Daleks and the Cybermen, races that would become his most implacable foes. The TARDIS crew also observed many historical events such as the Reign of Terror in revolutionary France, meeting Marco Polo in China and The Aztecs in Mexico. When Susan fell in love with the human resistance fighter David Campbell, the Doctor left her behind to allow her to build a life for herself on 22nd century Earth (The Dalek Invasion of Earth), although he promised to return some day. The Doctor, Ian and Barbara were then joined by Vicki, whom they saved in The Rescue from the planet Dido.

At the conclusion of a chase through time by Daleks, Ian and Barbara used the Dalek time machine to go home (The Chase), and their place in the TARDIS was taken by a future space pilot named Steven Taylor, who had been captured by the robot Mechanoids but escaped due to the Dalek attack. The Doctor met another member of his own race for the first time in the form of the Meddling Monk and had an adventure in Galaxy 4. During the siege of Troy, Vicki decided to leave the TARDIS to stay with Troilus, adopting the name Cressida. The Doctor and Steven were next briefly joined by Trojan slave Katarina and a security agent from 4000 AD Sara Kingdom, but both were killed during the events of The Daleks' Master Plan, where the Daleks plotted to invade Earth's Solar System in 4000 AD, before being destroyed when the Doctor activated their weapon the Time Destructor. Due to this he was aged significantly; the effects on Sara were enough to reduce her to dust.

After narrowly missing the Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve, the Doctor and Steven took on board a young girl named Dodo Chaplet. Dodo brought a cold virus to the far future, which nearly annihilated the humans and Monoids travelling on The Ark. It was cured and when the TARDIS arrived on the Ark 700 years later the TARDIS crew helped the humans reach their destination, the Monoids having taken over the Ark. One of the First Doctor's most deadly foes was the Celestial Toymaker, who forced him and his companions to play deadly games and briefly made the Doctor invisible and mute. Eventually, the Doctor managed to win the Trilogic Game allowing them all to escape the Toymaker's domain.

Eventually, Steven and Dodo left the Doctor as well, Steven remaining on an alien planet as a mediator (The Savages) between two races, and Dodo deciding to remain on Earth in 1966 to recover from being hypnotised by the supercomputer WOTAN. The Doctor was then joined by upper-class secretary Polly and sailor Ben Jackson.

The toll of years put strain on the Doctor's elderly frame. After defeating the Cybermen at the Antarctic Snowcap Station (The Tenth Planet), the Doctor was fearfully reluctant to regenerate when he crossed paths with one of his future incarnations ("Twice Upon a Time"), who is similarly reluctant to regenerate. The events they experience convince both Doctors to go through with their regenerations. After returning to his TARDIS and helping Polly and Ben back inside, the Doctor falls unconscious and regenerates.

Personality
From the beginning, the Doctor was a mysterious figure. He appeared to be a frail old man and yet was possessed of unexpected reserves of strength and will. An early writers' guide by script editor David Whitaker describes "Doctor Who" as "frail-looking but wiry and tough as an old turkey". He obviously held tremendous knowledge of scientific matters, and yet was unable to pilot his TARDIS time ship reliably; his granddaughter Susan explained this by saying that her grandfather was "a bit forgetful"; but the TARDIS required expert piloting and guidance by the Doctor. Its systems would often break down, especially the navigational systems. This, combined with the fact the TARDIS was actually designed for six pilots, would explain the difficulty the Doctor encountered in piloting it correctly. He was abrasive, patronising, and cantankerous towards his human travelling companions, yet shared a deep emotional bond with his granddaughter Susan. He also harboured a streak of ruthlessness, being willing to lie—and in one case attempt to kill—to achieve his goals. Initially, he distrusted his first two human companions, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, who were forced on him. Over time, however, as they shared adventures together, he grew closer to them, and the TARDIS crew came to share almost a family bond. When proven wrong after accusing Ian and Barbara of sabotaging the TARDIS in The Edge of Destruction, the initially irascible and slightly sinister Doctor humbly apologised, especially after seeing that Barbara had been hurt by his accusations. The Doctor realised he could rely on Ian and Barbara, sealing a friendship which lasts until their eventual departure from the TARDIS, with the relationship between the Doctor and Barbara being mutually respectful and increasingly affectionate.

Eventually, the Doctor began to enjoy his travels through time and space, taking people along for the ride and was always reluctant and sad to see them go, even when he knew it was for their own good. The Doctor's personality mellowed around the time of the serial Marco Polo, and he evolved into the more familiar compassionate grandfatherly figure that children loved, and was protective of the young women he took on as companions; they reminded him of his granddaughter, Susan.

William Hartnell described the Doctor as "a wizard", and "a cross between the Wizard of Oz and Father Christmas". Paul McGann, who played a later incarnation of the Doctor, said Hartnell's "seemed like a Victorian, someone kind of stern and paterfamilias about him. Something kind but scary". One quirk of the First Doctor was his tendency to become occasionally tongue-tied and stumble over words. Sometimes this was a deliberate acting choice: William Russell recalls that it was Hartnell's idea for the Doctor to get Ian Chesterton's surname wrong, calling him "Chesserman", "Chatterton" and even "Charterhouse". This character choice also gave the series' producers the ability to use takes in which Hartnell flubbed his lines. Due to the series' tight production schedule, it was rarely possible to reshoot such scenes and dubbing the dialogue was usually not an option. Hartnell suffered from undiagnosed arteriosclerosis, which affected his ability to remember lines, increasingly so as his time on the series progressed.

In "Twice Upon a Time", writer Steven Moffat has the Doctor express to a variation of his future companion Bill Potts that he had left Gallifrey, among other reasons, to investigate why good prevails in a universe where evil would seem to have so many advantages. As Bill reflected that none of the First Doctor's future incarnations recognized this fact, the Twelfth Doctor surmised that he and his incarnations were the reason for the universe's balance between good and evil.

Appearance
Hartnell's costume was hired from Nathans, a theatrical costuming company. The overall look is Victorian-Edwardian: a black frock coat and a light yellow tweed waistcoat over a wing-collared shirt; usually a dark blue ascot tie or ribbon tie and tartan trousers. Hartnell also wore a ring with a large blue stone and a white wig. Additional accessories seen from time to time are a monocle, a carved wooden cane, an opera cape, a scarf, a hat in Astrakhan fur or, in warmer climes, a Panama hat. In "An Unearthly Child", he was seen smoking a large bent tobacco pipe, making him the only incarnation of the Doctor to be seen smoking; it is assumed that he gave up after that serial.

In the original version of the first episode, Hartnell wore a contemporary (1960s) suit. Among the many changes made to the episode in reshooting was the Doctor's (and Susan's) clothes.

Story style
The debut of the Daleks in the second serial turned the programme from a children's series to a national phenomenon. It soon became a show that the whole family gathered to watch, with monsters that children viewed from between their fingers or from behind the sofa. Scripts filled with far-out concepts compensated for the relatively low budget and unsophisticated special effects, laying the foundation for decades of stories to come.

Later appearances
Despite the regeneration television audiences would see the First Doctor on screen for several more occasions (not counting flashbacks or charity specials like Dimensions in Time). For the 10th anniversary of the programme in 1973, Hartnell appeared in The Three Doctors, which also saw Patrick Troughton reprise his role as the Second Doctor. Due to failing health, however, Hartnell could not participate in any of the regular filming, so his scenes were shot separately at Ealing Studios (not his garden or garage at home, as long suggested by fan legend); in the context of the episode, this is explained as the First Doctor being trapped in a time eddy when he was being sent to assist his future selves, with the result that he can only communicate with his future selves for brief moments over the TARDIS monitor while sitting in a capsule.

William Hartnell died in 1975, so for the 20th anniversary special "The Five Doctors" in 1983, the role of the First Doctor was played by Richard Hurndall. At the beginning of the programme a film insert of Hartnell's Doctor taken from The Dalek Invasion of Earth was used.

In "The Name of the Doctor", which combined stock footage of Hartnell with Carole Ann Ford in CGI and newly shot footage, the First Doctor is depicted stealing the TARDIS in its original form, picked out by future companion Clara Oswald.

In "The Day of the Doctor", the First Doctor is shown along with the other twelve doctors as they move Gallifrey to a single moment in time. He was voiced by John Guilor, over archival footage of Hartnell.

A child version of the character appears in "Listen" (2014), portrayed by an uncredited Michael Jones.

In the Big Finish audio drama The Light at the End the First Doctor is portrayed by William Russell, who also played Ian Chesterton in both the show and the audio dramas. Russell and fellow co-star Peter Purves (who played Steven Taylor) have performed numerous other audio plays set during this era, usually narrating the stories and doing an impression (rather than an impersonation) of the Doctor's voice while reciting his lines.

In the series 10 finale "The Doctor Falls", David Bradley appeared as the First Doctor, confronting his twelfth incarnation as the latter resists his oncoming regeneration. This scene was followed up in the 2017 Christmas special, "Twice Upon a Time". Bradley had previously portrayed William Hartnell in An Adventure in Space and Time, a 2013 docudrama depicting the creation of Doctor Who. He reprised the role of the First Doctor for a series of audio stories released by Big Finish, titled "The First Doctor Adventures", starting in January 2018.

April 2022 saw Big Finish release a box set of audio dramas starring Stephen Noonan as the First Doctor. Nicholas Briggs has expressed interest in producing further stories with David Bradley. Stephen Noonan also expressed interest in returning for future boxsets. Another First Doctor boxset is scheduled for February 2023, with Noonan starring once again.

The First Doctor appeared as one of the “Guardians of the Edge” (played again by David Bradley), in an afterlife, inside the Doctor’s mind in the final Thirteenth Doctor episode, "The Power of the Doctor".

In the episode "The Name of the Doctor", he is seen stealing a TARDIS along with Susan Foreman, before Clara Oswald tells him to steal a different one (colourised footage taken from The Aztecs). He is also seen for a brief second wandering around the Doctor's mind in the end of "The Name of the Doctor", although this time a double was used. He also makes a brief appearance (again using a double) during Missy's exposition of the Twelfth Doctor's battle with android assassins ("The Witch's Familiar").

In Dimensions in Time the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) refers to the First as "the grumpy one". A sculpture of his head, along with that of the Second Doctor, appears as well.

The First Doctor is seen as a sketch in John Smith's book alongside other past Doctors in the episode "Human Nature". In "Time Crash", the Tenth Doctor says to the Fifth, "Back when I first started, at the very beginning, I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important, like you do when you're young." A brief clip of the First Doctor from The Time Meddler appears in both "The Next Doctor" and in "The Eleventh Hour".

In a clip from "The Vampires of Venice" the Eleventh Doctor shows his library card, which contains a photograph of the First Doctor and the address of 76 Totters Lane. In "Vincent and the Doctor", both the First and Second Doctors appear on a printout when the Eleventh Doctor has the TARDIS identify him. In "The Big Bang", the Eleventh Doctor briefly mentions the First while bidding his farewell to a sleeping Amy Pond, referring to him as "the daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away". In "The Rings of Akhaten", the Eleventh Doctor mentions that he had visited Akhaten with his granddaughter, presumably as the First Doctor.

The Twelfth Doctor refers to his first incarnation's initial lack of altruism prior to meeting the Daleks in "Into the Dalek".

A portrait of the First Doctor is hanging in a UNIT safe house in "The Zygon Invasion".

In "The Devil's Chord" the Fifteenth Doctor visits 1963 and points out the Totters Lane junkyard off in the distance from atop EMI Recording Studios, saying he lived there with his granddaughter Susan. In "Rogue" the First Doctor's face is among the holograms the Doctor shows to the bounty hunter Rogue to prove he is not a shapeshifting Chuldur.
