Talk:Comparison of browser engines

Criteria for being an 'engine'
This is in response to the end of an archived thread about the criteria for what should be considered an engine. In principle it's not that hard to define. The browser engine article already does a good job of this, though what's covered there is most applicable to the mainstream engines (which collectively account for over 99% of actual browser usage).

It's a bit trickier for the tiny niche hobbyist projects, like NetSurf and LibWeb. The consensus reached in the archived thread on NetSurf is a good guideline, in that the set of libraries and components that can be called an "engine" could, in theory, be used by another group of hobbyists to make a different browser. This is, after all, at the heart of what a software engine is: a large component that can be reused for a different software project. However, the nature of these types of hobby projects is heavily DIY: the lure of designing and implementing their own new thing is what tends to motivate them. But this doesn't invalidate the design of the software to feasibly be reused by a different project (even if that never actually happens). --Pmffl (talk) 02:17, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Adding Eww (Emacs web browser and engine)?
Eww_(web_browser) is a rendering engine integrated in Emacs since version 24.4. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArneBab (talk • contribs) 07:11, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

 * A little while ago I reverted the addition of Eww here. I hadn't heard of it before and seeing a few minutes of it on Youtube shows that it's an extremely limited browsing capability baked into Emacs. (It's early 1990s style browsing.)
 * Here's the current problem with Eww as it's classified on Wikipedia: it's categorized as a web browser and written about as such (and is in the web browser template). If it's a stand-alone browser (albeit with extremely limited capabilities) then it cannot also be classified as an engine too. It would have to be one or the other. As it stands, it's a browser here on Wikipedia, not an engine. --Pmffl (talk) 19:17, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

I revisited this today and just rewrote the Eww article. It is indeed a lightweight browser, and is certainly not a browser engine. (There are underlying libraries in Emacs required for it to run.) So that should settle this issue here. --Pmffl (talk) 19:53, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Also, for reference, see this edit. -Pmffl (talk) 01:58, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Support for Irrelevant standards
I'm writing this because an IP editor has twice added JPEG 2000 to the image format table. I've removed it both times because it's irrelevant to the real Web; only Safari supports it, so nobody uses it. I'm of the opinion that only relevant stuff should be in those tables. -Pmffl (talk) 14:07, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

 * I also removed JPEG XL for the same reason. Google decided not to support it in Chrome, so therefore it's irrelevant to the real Web. -Pmffl (talk) 18:32, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I would argue that JPEG XL should be included. This was big news when Google removed it - most likely due to conflict of interest of the relevant employees - and again when Apple added it. It's also supported by Pale Moon, Firefox Nightly and various Chromium and Firefox forks.
 * It's arguably the best and most versatile image format we have at the moment, strictly superior to Webp and mostly superior to Avif, with a wide industry backing from companies such as Meta and Adobe, and the unique ability to losslessly compress legacy JPEGs.
 * I would strongly suggest adding JPEG XL back, even if it's just to show how Blink is the one engine holding us back. Isnt that the point of the engine comparison? Right now it just shows that every engine supports every format. Pointless.
 * Besides, APNG and BMP are arguably less relevant than JPEG XL. I've never seen them used anywhere on the web. 86.17.94.33 (talk) 08:00, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

 * None of those arguments matter compared to lack of Blink support and thus doomed to irrelevance on the Web. And I disagree with the "Pointless" opinion. The point of an encyclopedia is to be informative for a wide range of readers (some with little or no technical background). So in this article's Support section, listing what actually matters on the Web is the point.
 * (In that vein, I agree that APNG is likely irrelevant too. I never heard of it outside of this article, but since the major engines all support it, it's possible that a website could use it.) -Pmffl (talk) 19:49, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Just deleted APNG from the table, as discussed above. Having regular PNG is enough to be listed there. -Pmffl (talk) 19:55, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * And removed BMP too. I recall them long ago on the Web, but just another tiny niche format on the Web these days. -Pmffl (talk) 22:13, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

 * It occured to me today that an explanatory note about Blink dominance would be a helpful addition. So I added one. This seems like a good compromise on this matter. -Pmffl (talk) 17:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Maybe let's not say that Google Chrome is by definition the best browser
The article as it stands defines Google Chrome to be the best browser, because everything that it supports is included and everything it doesn't support is irrelevant. Blink will, by definition, have absolutely every square marked as green.

I think it's clear that this position is a hard nut. I mean, given the fact there is no source attached to the statement "[such standards] will not become relevant on the Web", it is as good as WP:OR. I would argue that a good compromise position will be to keep the current table with main standards as is, but add a second, collapsed-by-default table of other, less common standards, such as BMP, JXL etc. //Talya - My contributions - Let's talk// 10:07, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Disagree. Read this Ars piece on XL. This article currently documents the way things are in an objective manner. (Nowhere does it advocate Chrome as "the best browser".) -Pmffl (talk) 05:30, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Pmffl no, it just says that things chrome does are good and things chrome doesn't do are bad.
 * I mean, I can agree about JXL, but the logic behind that decision can't be that it's not in chrome and therefore not in the chart (which is what happens now). that's non encyclopedic.
 * also, I don't see how this piece goes against my suggestion of a second table for less common standards. //Talya - My contributions - Let's talk// 07:24, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No, the article byline literally says "Google, with 80% of browser share, says there's not enough ecosystem interest." Then the FSF rep says "all Google is really doing is asking itself what Google wants." Also, the other referenced article in the footnote states it even more plainly: "The removal of JPEG XL means that none of these above browsers will be able to natively render JPEG XL images, and in turn that effectively dooms the new format, barring the unlikely event of the Mountain View megalith changing course."
 * As for the other item, a second table is not a good idea. Only stuff that's actually relevant to the current websites (especially the big ones, like Alexa top 1000) belongs in those tables. -Pmffl (talk) 02:07, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Again, this doesn't justify making the blanket statement "everything Google does is part of the web and everything it doesn't do isn't", and it definitely doesn't justify not having a second table of less common standards. //Talya - My contributions - Let's talk// 05:32, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

John Milledge

John Milledge (1757 – February 9, 1818) was an American politician. He fought in the American Revolution and later served as United States Representative, 26th Governor of Georgia, and United States Senator. Milledge was a founder of Athens, Georgia, and the University of Georgia. From January to May 1809, Milledge served briefly as President pro tempore of the United States Senate.

Revolutionary War
John Milledge was born in Savannah, the grandson of an original settler of Georgia. He was tutored privately and studied law. After being admitted to the bar, he opened a law practice in Savannah. He owned slaves. At the onset of the Revolutionary War, Milledge was part of a group that took colonial governor Sir James Wright as a prisoner in 1775. He also took part in a raid of Savannah's royal armory to procure gunpowder for the revolutionary cause. When the British captured Savannah, Milledge escaped to South Carolina, where American patriots nearly hanged him as a spy. He participated in the Siege of Savannah in an attempt to drive the British forces out. In 1778, he served as an aide to Governor John Houstoun in an abortive campaign against the British in East Florida. In 1781, as a colonel in the Georgia militia, he helped to recapture Augusta.

State legislature and U.S. Congress
Milledge's political career began in 1779, when he was elected to the patriot general assembly. After serving as the attorney general of Georgia, Milledge was a member of the Georgia General Assembly. While in the General Assembly, he spoke out forcefully against the Yazoo Land Acts. In 1792, the House of Representatives declared the seat of Anthony Wayne vacant due to disputes over his residency. Milledge was elected to the Second Congress to fill this vacancy and served from November 22, 1792, to March 3, 1793. Later, Milledge would be elected to the Fourth and Fifth Congresses, serving from March 4, 1795, to March 3, 1799. In 1801, he was again elected to Congress, this time as a Democratic-Republican, and served from March 4, 1801, until he resigned in May 1802 to become Governor of Georgia.

Governor of Georgia
Milledge was Governor of Georgia from 1802 to 1806. As governor, he created Georgia's first land lottery to combat corruption in the distribution of former Creek lands to settlers. He also reorganized the state militia, and built a road from Georgia to Tennessee passing through Cherokee lands.

In 1803, Milledgeville, Georgia, state capital from 1804 to 1868, was named in his honor.

U.S. Senate
In 1806, he was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the death of James Jackson. He was a loyal and enthusiastic supporter of the policies of President Thomas Jefferson. In the 10th United States Congress, he was named President pro tempore of the Senate. He served as a Senator from June 19, 1806, until November 14, 1809, when he resigned.

Foreign Policy
With regards to the Napoleonic Wars, Milledge was outspokenly pro-British. Milledge remained very hostile to the French Revolution and believed that a close relationship with the United Kingdom was in the interest of the United States. Milledge said he saw "no value" in attempting to maintain relations with revolutionary France.

The University of Georgia
While serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, Milledge was named to a commission to establish a site for the state University of Georgia (incorporated January 27, 1785). On July 25, 1801, Milledge bought with his own money some land on the Oconee River for the school, and named the surrounding area Athens, in honor of the city of Plato's Academy.

John Milledge Hall (circa 1921 as a male dormitory) at the University of Georgia, now houses the Division of Academic Enhancement and the Regents' Center for Learning Disorders.

Death and legacy
After retiring from the United States Senate, Milledge returned home, to live out his final years at his plantation near Augusta, Georgia. He died there, February 9, 1818, and was buried in Summerville Cemetery in that same city.

Milledge Avenue in downtown Athens is named for him. Milledge Road in Augusta is also named for him.

John Milledge Academy in Milledgeville is named for John Milledge.

Rien Poortvliet
(Warning auto'd - ignore it) I have a question about a page you recently edited, Rien Poortvliet. It seems there were some non-english changes you made which I almost reverted, could you explain them to me? --Draicone 13:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This is not a test. I was contacted by User:Tmalmjursson by IRC. This document is currently under translation and I wanted to help him. Annabelleke 13:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Milkcap addition
Hi Annabelleke, thanks for the lactarius addition. I was just wondering how to format it to look like others - can you reorganize your original table into the series and sections and stick on the page - eventually it may format a little like this:

 * Thiele and Ladiges' taxonomic arrangement of Banksia

see list of species a ways down the page - but with common names and edibility icons attached.

(I figured it'd be easier for you as you had the original excel document.) cheers Cas Liber 22:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

PS: If you're intetrested in fungi, you may want to cast a vote as to what fungus collaboration to work on on the Wikiproject fungi..

 * Hi Cas,
 * I'm not familiar with the guidelines used on this wikipedia (I'm mostly active on wikipedia NL). Do you want a species list where indents are used? Then I guess, it would not be so easy to add the subgenus, section and subsection to the list. If you have an other example (with this kind of information included), I may have a better idea, of what needs to be done.
 * If you're interested in the table, you can also drop me a line, by using the "e-mail this user" functionality. I used Quattro Pro's text functions to preformat the table as a wikitable (inserting a Dutch word where an enter should be inserted) and thereafter I used WordPerfect to do the text-replacements to enter the hard returns.
 * Annabelleke 09:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Down the page on the Banksia page above was what I'd figured. The simplest would be to re-upload your table but reorganized in sections and subsections rather than straight alphabetically (as in the banksia page above) and then I can proceed in formatting it later. cheers Cas Liber 12:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. ;-) Annabelleke 13:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

SPC file format
Can you incorporate this info into the spectroscopy article, or an appropriate related article? --Lexein 20:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I will do this, as soon as I find the time. Annabel 07:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Lactarius
Hi! I saw your contribution to the List of Lactarius species and was interested in the source of your inputs on subgenus, section and subsection. I'm starting a new wiki on Lactarius scrobiculatus and I want to make use of your information, but I also want to cite a source. I've searched the web for a suitable source to quote, but nothing comes up on this species.--Paffka 12:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, all information I have used can be found in a book written by Heilmann-Clausen et al. It gives an overview of the Lactarius species in Northern Europe. I added the reference to the article. Annabel 16:49, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * All right. Thanks.--Paffka 19:50, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

SUL
Hi! I saw that you are bureaucrat on nl.wikipedia so I need little help from you about one problem. I tried to manage my global account (SUL) but I could not do that because I realized that there are other accounts with the same name on other wikimedia projects (http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=conquistador). All these accounts are inactive, except on the Portugese Wikipedia (en.wikiquote.org, es.wikipedia.org, fr.wikipedia.org, ja.wikipedia.org, nl.wikipedia.org, pl.wikipedia.org, pt.wikipedia.org, tr.wikipedia.org, zh.wikipedia.org). There is one account that was edited and filled with some data. That user has not edited his account since the 21st December 2005, the same day he opened his account. Furthermore, he has made only 5 edits in total. I opened my account on the Croatian Wikipedia on the 3rd May 2005 and I have made 1128 edits since then. According to Help:SUL I have the superior claim on this username, so I am asking you if you could help me in merging these accounts with mine, so I could have global account. Thanking you in advance. --Conquistador (talk) 01:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Conquistador, I've usurped the account on the Dutch wikidia. Kind regards, Annabel (talk) 14:17, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Structures
I am sure that your additions are very well-intended, but I am unsure what kind of message you are trying to send. But what you are showing do not exist except in outer space. When was the last time you saw a naked Be2+ ion? This situation has been discussed previously in Chem-wikipedia. It might be fun if you slowed down your drawing business and talk some.--Smokefoot (talk) 20:10, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Smokefoot, I was not aware of any discussion on this topic. I have nowhere shown a single ion or atom in the drawings, the combination of both ions is expressed with the rectangular brackets. So, as far as I know, this is the most elementary way of showing the molecular structure (off course it would be better to show a cristallographic image of a cell, but I do not have these). Anyhow, I would be happy if you can point me to the discussion on this topic. Regards, Annabel (talk) 21:08, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Here's the deal: these materials are 3-D polymers with very strong M-O bonds. In solution, the cations are highly solvated (I dont know the coordination numbers).  Be2+ exists in water as an oxocluster, I recall.  Naked dications dont exist except in  mass spectrometer champers, the ultra-high vacuum of the interstellar medium.  So the way you depict these complex materials is a form of misinformation.  I realize that this perspective comes across as highly pedantic (or worse), but we aim to tell readers that physical reality is much more complicated that many might otherwise think.  Check out sodium chloride, ferrous chloride, caesium oxide, etc.--Smokefoot (talk) 21:23, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, I never said this is the 3D structure (it is a solid ;-) ), only it was the best impression that could be given for both ions in a crystal structure. However, as you requested, I have reverted my changes. Regards, Annabel (talk) 21:35, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Filipendula vulgaris

Filipendula vulgaris, commonly known as dropwort or fern-leaf dropwort, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Rosaceae, closely related to meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria). It is found in dry pastures across much of Europe and central and northern Asia, mostly on lime.

The crushed leaves and roots have a scent of the oil of wintergreen (methyl salicylate).

Taxonomy and naming
The genus name Filipendula comes from Latin filum ("thread") and pendulus ("hanging") in reference to the root tubers that hang from the roots in some species. The specific epithet vulgaris means "common". The English name "dropwort" comes from the tubers that hang like drops from the root.

Description
It has finely-cut, fern-like radical leaves which form a basal rosette, and an erect stem 20 - 50 cm tall bearing a loose terminal inflorescence of small creamy white flowers. The flowers appear in dense clusters from late spring to midsummer atop sparsely leafed stems about 30 cm tall.

This plant prefers full sun or partial shade. It is more tolerant of dry conditions than most other members of its genus. It is a perennial of chalk and limestone downs and on heaths on other basic rocks.

Cultivation
Propagation is by seed and the division of the creeping roots. The tuberous roots and young leaves can be cooked as a vegetable or eaten raw as a salad. The taste is bitter sweet. The mature leaves smell of oil of wintergreen when crushed, due to the release of methyl salicylate.

Moscow State Institute of International Relations

Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) (Московский государственный институт международных отношений (МГИМО), also known as MGIMO University) is an institute of higher education located in Moscow, Russia. The institute is run by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. MGIMO is considered one of the most prestigious and elite universities in Russia.

MGIMO offers educational programs in 18 fields of study, including international relations and regional studies, politics, governance, diplomacy, world economy, law, journalism, foreign trade and management, energy affairs, linguistics, and environmental studies. It offers MBA and Executive MBA programs, and pre-university tutorials. According to the Guinness Book of Records, MGIMO in 2019 taught 54 full time languages during every academic term, the most in any academic institution. The university pays special attention to distance learning and digital technologies. Since 2016, MGIMO has been recording and publishing its distance courses at Coursera. As of 2020, Coursera contained 20 courses by MGIMO professors. MGIMO has integrated an LMS (Electronic Learning Management System) in the educational process. Moodle and Stepik (Russia) platforms are used as well. MGIMO has three campuses – in Moscow, in the Moscow Region (Odintsovo) and in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) as well as an educational centre for law studies in Geneva, Switzerland.

MGIMO is a centre for the Russian-French Trianon Dialogue, the Russian-Czech Discussion Forum, the Russian-Austrian forum Sochi Dialogue, ASEAN Centre.

History
MGIMO was founded on 14 October 1944 by a special decree of the Soviet Government on the basis of the recently established School of International Relations of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. The first 200 students were veterans who had fought in the Second World War.

By early 1950s, MGIMO comprised three schools, since its ancestor, the School of History and International Relations was added by the School of International Law and the School of International Economic Relations. In 1954 the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies, the successor of the Lazarev Institute of Oriental Languages created in 1815, was integrated into MGIMO. In 1958, MGIMO incorporated one more university – of Foreign Trade. In 1969 the School of Journalism and the School of Law were added. In 1989, admission on a commercial basis started and first students from Western countries began to arrive. In the late 1980s, MGIMO became the first national university to establish its own business school that later in 2012 emerged as the School of Business and International Proficiency. 1992 saw the creation of the School of International Business and Business Administration. In 1994 MGIMO was granted university status but traditionally contains the word institute in its name. The same year saw the creation of the International Institute of Administration. The same year a Department of Politics was introduced within the School of International Relations and evolved into the separate School of Political Science in 1998.

In 2000, two educational divisions were established - Institute of Energy Policy and Diplomacy and School of Applied Economics and Commerce. In 2005, the European Studies Institute was opened on MGIMO basis. In 2011, the Institute for Foreign Economic Relations was transformed into the School of Applied Economics and Commerce. In 2013 The School of Governance and Global Affairs was launched as the first Russian school to train international students in English at bachelor's level. In 2016, MGIMO opened the Odintsovo Branch – its first campus located in the Moscow suburban area. The campus is also a home for MGIMO Gorchakov Lyceum. In 2017, the International Institute of Administration and the School of Political Science merged into the School of Governance and Politics.

According to CNN, 1,200 students, faculty, and staff of the university signed an open letter in protest of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In March 2022, Anatoly Torkunov, MGIMO University rector, was suspended from the European University Association (EUA) following support for the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Union of Rectors (RUR). Several Western universities also suspended academic collaboration agreements with MGIMO.

Walton-on-the-Hill

Walton-on-the-Hill is a village in the Reigate and Banstead district, in the county of Surrey, England. It is midway between the market towns of Reigate and Epsom. The village is a dispersed cluster on the North Downs centred less than one mile inside of the M25 motorway. The village hosts the Walton Heath Golf Club, whose former members include King Edward VIII, Winston Churchill and David Lloyd George.

Geography
The M25 motorway, less than a mile from the centre, roughly marks the northern boundary of the Surrey Hills AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty); it contains the village among others and orbits London. The village except for one street is surrounded by Green Belt including farmland and protected heathland managed by the Banstead Common Conservators. Along its green buffers it borders to the north-east its post town, Tadworth and Kingswood, Headley and Box Hill. Tadworth railway station is the nearest station about 1 mi from its centre which provides a commuter line into London Bridge Station. Its normal broad definition, the former civil parish, which resembles its ecclesiastical parish of ancient foundation, is in the Tadworth and Walton Ward of Reigate and Banstead Council. Across the motorway — within its long-established bounds — is the Headquarters of Pfizer UK at the business park known as The Hermitage. Walton-on-the-Hill has a large pond, a green, a primary school, an independent preparatory school for girls, convenience/repair shops and public houses.

The village is home to Walton Heath Golf Club, whose former members include King Edward VIII, Winston Churchill and David Lloyd George.

History
The Romans are known to have settled here in the 1st century AD: a substantial villa has been excavated in Sandlands Road, and is believed to have been inhabited until around 400 AD. Roman finds have been discovered here and in the neighbouring village of Headley.

Walton-on-the-Hill lay within the Copthorne hundred, an administrative division devised by the Saxons.

Walton-on-the-Hill was called Waltone in Domesday Book of 1086. It was held by John from Richard Fitz Gilbert. Its Domesday assets were: 2 hides and 1 virgate. It had 5½ ploughs, 1 house in Southwark. It rendered £6. There is an early post-conquest motte within the grounds of Walton Place, the remains of a timber castle. The name Walton comes from settlement/farmstead of Wealas – Anglo-Saxon (Old English) for "Celtic-speaking tribes" or by derivation, "strangers/foreigners", see later form Welsh people and related old-fashioned phrases.

A legal record of 1418 mentioning 'Wauton Athill may refer to the village.

In 1951 the civil parish had a population of 2158. On 1 April 1974 the parish was abolished.

Mound
This is a scheduled ancient monument built at a date in period from the 11th to 13th centuries, covering a small area in Walton Place by the public road, standing 2.4 metres above the land to all sides. The manor of Walton was held by Richard de Tonbridge soon after the Norman Conquest and later by Gilbert de Clare (or Fitz Richard), both of whom are known to be prolific castle builders, but it was also owned by the Carew family in the early 17th century at which time the manor house was extensively rebuilt, who English Heritage believe therefore slightly altered it as a garden feature.

St Peter's Church
The church of St Peter partially dates to the 12th century; one of its oldest features is an 800-year-old font, constructed in lead, although this is thought to have originally stood in a chapel alongside the village's manor house, which is equally Grade II* listed. The interior of the church features examples of 16th-century artwork and stained glass. Another old church font was set up as a mounting stone outside the nearby public house.

Manor house
The house has features from the 14th century onwards, though was remodelled in the 16th century and the late 19th century and has been much reduced. Some of the tilework is in the technique of Norman Shaw.

Local oral history has it that the manor house was visited by Henry VIII, and his wife Anne of Cleves is also thought to have stayed here.

Walton Oaks
Pharmaceutical company Pfizer's offices were built on the site of the Hermitage country house at Walton Oaks. A separate entrance leads to the remaining Hermitage Lodge and farm cottages. Local planning guidance issued in 2001 notes that at Walton Oaks the 1920 formal gardens, pond and temple by the architect Morley Horder and the adjoining rhododendron walks are of interest. The Victorian sunken garden and Georgian parkland trees of the Hermitage within the Walton Oaks site are also of interest.

Buildings
There is a wide variety of housing, in size, type and age. The earliest buildings include Walton Manor with its 14th-century foundations and a number of 16th- and 17th-century properties in Walton Street and Deans Lane.

Closer to the centre are smaller Victorian houses, while further out and especially to the south of the village are larger detached houses on private roads. Many of these were built in the early to mid-20th century and include designs by architect Sir Edwin Lutyens and his followers. Prime Minister David Lloyd George owned one such property, Pinfold Manor on Nursery Road. On 19 February 1913, Pinfold Manor was bombed by the Women's Social and Political Union, a militant suffragette group led by Emmeline Pankhurst. The house was repaired and still stands today.

In the centre of the village are more recent developments of flats, including retirement flats. Bramley School, an independent day school for girls aged three to eleven was located in the village. but closed in 2017.

St Cross was a large building to the north of the village which was formerly a boys' school. From 1948 it was a British Transport Police Training Centre with a police dog training school. The building has since been demolished and replaced with a small housing development.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Talk:Sophora

Paraphyletic
Been doing a bit of digging - recent research shows that Sophora is paraphyletic, and has been/is being broken up into several genera.

The type species is Sophora tomentosa L. from tropical Asia; the Pacific Ocean species (S. tetraptera, S. microphylla, S. toromiro, etc), sometimes treated in the separate section or genus Edwardsia, are fairly closely related to it and can be retained in Sophora.

The North American S. secundiflora, S. arizonica and S. gypsophila are unrelated to these, though close to Styphnolobium, and are now separated into the genus Calia.

North American S. affine is now Styphnolobium affinis.

A useful paper: [http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1095-8339.2004.00348.x Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 146: 439-446] (2004). The relationship of Sophora sect. Edwardsia (Fabaceae) to Sophora tomentosa, the type species of the genus Sophora, observed from DNA sequence data and morphological characters.

A synonym list at Plant Gene Resources of Canada

I'll be editing the relevant page(s) accordingly over the next day to two - MPF 15:31, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Good stuff, I've been meaning to do something about this for a while (excuse = busy). You can find a lot more references here from my PhD thesis if you search for Sophora too. I don't think that the three paraphyletic clades have formally been renamed, but they definately should be if you look at the trees. Onco p53 18:05, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The town of Seriqbuya is apparently named for one of the plants in this genus- maybe that would be an appropriate part of a future 'Culture' section? Geographyinitiative (talk) 16:56, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

gave this article a complete overhaul, also linked to it from the Halifax page. Grunners 23:01, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * nice one! UkPaolo 07:11, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Who Gives You Extra
Howard Brown has never sung this. It appeared in a Halifax advert that featured a different employee, and the adverts featuring the animated Brown, which are voiced by an impersonator. BillyH 11:46, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

True I have referred to this in the bit about the office appearance. SenorKristobbal 13:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Early life
Is it for real? C'mon? The first reference doesn't seem to shed any light on his early life and the second 'Reuters' link just goes straight to tiscali.co.uk or whatever. Really? He was shipped to Halifax in a cargo of Guava fruits? Funny but not factual. Londonsista (talk) 20:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

New Guardian source
here; it could possibly be incorporated into the article.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 20:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Removed unsourced claim that Howard was removed from his post
I have removed the following text from the article:
 * "He has recently been released from his contract by HBOS for being too 'jolly'. "

I can find no supporting evidence for this so I'm removing it in case it is false and considered libellous. If it is true, then please reinstate it with a reference to supporting evidence.

Some sources
I'm pressed for time right now so can't actually pop this in the article, but here is better than nowhere:

Talk:Classical unified field theories

WikiProject Physics ratings
Since somebody added the box, I have tried to get ratings established for it. The "importance" assessment was tricky, since when one looks up the criteria this article fits between "High" and "Mid"; however, since it does provide a considerable amount of information not found elsewhere in the Wikipedia, I opted for a "High" assessment. (Note that is not supposed to mean that physicists find the topic essential.) I also nominated the article as a "Good Article", but somebody who hasn't contributed to the article needs to rate it against the GA criteria (which I think are well met, except for the optional pictures which we don't really have any use for). — DAGwyn 21:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup done by DAGwyn 22:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
My Master's thesis was in this very field (no pun intended), which I had thoroughly researched since childhood. I provided missing text (concerning Eddington and Schroedinger) and general cleanup, especially in the section on Einstein's work. I added some primary references for the sections I edited. A few related pages such as the one on the cosmological constant also received minor edits as a side effect.

While I don't really agree with the addition of Whyte and a few other things, I left that text alone since it doesn't do any real harm.

I am removing the marker calling for page cleanup. If there is some reason to retain such a marker, feel free to add it back, but please use one of the specific tags rather than the generic one, so we will know what it is about the page that is of concern.

Unitary Field Theory of Lancelot Law Whyte added 24 May 2006 by R.J.Anderton
This approach to the Unified field theory added today, has been overlooked. It was based upon the idea of an organising process called the Unitary Principle. The experimental work on this theory was carried out by Leo Baranski.

 * I ripped this out. On reading it, it looked heavily dodgy. How did something written by someone (User:Roger Anderton) whose website is "www.einsteinconspiracy.co.uk" survive so long? William M. Connolley (talk) 10:25, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Several years ago, removing it caused an editing war. The version that was left in the article was a compromise.  As I noted in the Talk page, I don't think it needs to be included. — DAGwyn (talk) 19:22, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Origin of reference to "generalized theory of gravitation"
Some people might wonder where our anon got:

 * The Generalized theory of gravitation's exact details are unavailable, as it was never fully published, and there is no evidence that Einstein ever worked them out. Because of this, Einstein's theory has never been accepted by physicists.

from. Its a bizarre sentence. The answer is... over at dynamic theory of gravity, where he has copied in a portion of the header there.

Also: as far as I can tell (from reading Pais) there is no one theory. There were many different attempts.

User:William M. Connolley

New version

 * I'm going to take a hand at rewriting some of this. Salsb 7 July 2005 00:29 (UTC)

 * Hi, Salsb, I agree and in fact I'd go further. It seems to me that this article really should be retitled "History of attempts to unify gravitation and electromagnetism".  This is because there are no satisfactory theories which achieve this goal, just more or less intriguing attempts, sometimes repeated attempts by the same person, including Einstein.  So, this has been an important theme in physics in the past 100 years, but certainly there are not successful theories, much less a "generalized theory of gravity", much less an unpublished theory due to Einstein.  Pais is certainly the best place to start for AE's contributions in this area.---CH  (talk) 09:56, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I (dedwards@math.uga.edu) added :

Recent work by Komech ( A.I.Komech, Lectures on Quantum Mechanics (nonlinear PDE point of view), http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/math-ph/pdf/0505/0505059v4.pdf ) puts Einstein's earlier work in a more favorable light. This book realizes Einstein's Unified Field Theory Program and shows that almost all the empirical results known until the 1980's were derivable from it. From the quantum mechanical point of view, it is a local hidden variables theory and hence cannot derive EPR type results. EPR type experiments were performed in the 1980's and confirmed quantum theory; leaving viable only Bohmian style non-local hidden variable theories which are not Lorentz invariant. Such applications as quantum cryptography and quantum computing require EPR type situations. The Maxwell-Dirac system is the super-classical limit of (the not mathematically well-defined) QED.

The Einstein-Maxwell-Dirac system is a satisfactory classical unification of gravity with matter and electromagnetism. By going further to the Einstein-standard model one should be able to derive much of the predictions of the Big Bang Theory. 8:40, Oct.6, 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by David edwards (talk • contribs) 12:42, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Hey, I didn't start the title, but I kept it as a reasonable title, as the early work were attempts to generalize the theory of gravity to include electromagnetism. I've been working from a review article to avoid overemphasizing Einstein's contributions. Please make contributions. I'm mostly vaguely familar with the earlier, pre-WWII work. Salsb 13:37, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi, Salsb, here's why I don't feel the title is adequate:
 * incorrectly suggests one establised/coherent theory, rather than a bunch of more or less intriguing (but more or less outdated) papers by various people, including but hardly limited to Einstein.
 * "generalized" is misleading; the article appears to mostly concern early attempts to unify electromagnetism and gravitation, especially in the first few decades after 1915; I think "unify" is more apt than "generalize".
 * Assuming you agree with my take on what the article is about, I do think there is a need for such an article and I hope you will write it!---CH (talk) 08:13, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I more or less agree with you. I don't agree with your remark on 'generalized'. At least the early work seems to be a set of attempts to generalize the differential geometry of gravity in such a way that electromagnetism came out as well, so they really were attempts to generalize gravity. Having written that, I am okay with you moving the page and putting a redirect from "Generalize theory of gravitation". The page is here because I was, and hopefully will come back to, cleaning up a messy article. Salsb 14:21, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi, Salsb, good, sounds like we all agree on the main points. One quibble: we are talking about attempts to unify electromagnetism and gravitation, the two fundamental interactions which were well established in the early part of the twentieth century.  It customary to speak of "unification" in this context, not "generalization".  Using nonstandard terminology will just confuse students (and annoy experts).  See for example the recent review by Gönner (cited below the article), where "unification" not "generalization" is used.---CH  (talk) 04:08, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Material copied from Albert Einstein by User:Harald88
CH wrote on my Talk page: ''What are you doing to this article? Any expansion should use the Hubert Goenner review article (see citation in previous version) as the basic source, not Albert Einstein. ---CH 21:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)'' Harald88 22:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, no, I wrote "What are you doing to this article? Any expansion should use the Hubert Goenner review article (see citation in previous version) as the basic source, not Albert Einstein." See the difference? ---CH 07:46, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

To me it doesn't make sense to rely on a single source and to ignore what other editors already have contributed (that's POV forking). Anyway, that's (for now) not the issue; Fastfission changed a redirect of the stub Unitary field theory (which focussed on Einstein's attempts) from Albert Einstein to Classical unified field theories. Of course, that's a good idea, if indeed all the relevant info is contained under the existing header "Einstein's Geometric Approaches". However, that section was empty (!) Thus, you are invited to either: 1. expand on it (with help of all relevant sources, including the one you like), Or to: 2a. delete that section 2b. replace it with a clarification why Einstein's attempts aren't discussed in this article 2c. undo the redirect by Fastfission. You may want to discuss it with him; I don't really care. Harald88 22:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I wrote "use the Hubert Goenner review article as the basic source" not "rely on a single source"! Sheesh!  Have you studied the article by Goenner, Harald?  If not, please read it ASAP.  I think you will soon see why I feel that revised article Classical  unified field theories should seek similar coverage, scope, and emphasis.  This is a fine review article!---CH 07:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Good that you don't insist on using a single source; I did not read that paper, and I'll be happy to read about it in Wikipedia! This here is a technical matter: we already have information from other sources as contained in Albert einstein; remains to rework it and add from that review article if you like. What matters now is that the section to which the redirect points was empty for no reason, and now again eventhough the redirect to it is still in place. If someone can improve it that will be great, but please don't simply vandalise a whole section to which a redirect was made (see editing guidelines!). See Talk:Unitary field theory and please comment there, as your actions affect that discussion. Harald88 19:21, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Harald, what is so difficult about understanding my suggestion? I am suggesting that anyone planning major edits to Classical unified field theories, he/she/it should first study the review article by Hubert Goenner and use this as the primary source for new additions.  This LRR article is available on-line and I had previously entered the citation into the article. ---CH 22:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The new additions unbalance the article. And why is there a picture of Einstein's Princeton residence in this article?  This article is about classical unified field theories, not about Einstein or Princeton landmarks.  Please move the picture back to Albert Einstein. ---CH 22:12, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Apparently for 1 (one) year the section remained empty, and I also won't invest time in this. But I now added a precise pointer to your info into the article space. Harald88 20:39, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

GA on hold
When these issues have been dealt with i will have another look for more problems, but you have alot of work to do. M3tal H3ad 03:00, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Lead is too big, should be 2-3 paragraphs
 * NO inline citations
 * After the 1930s, fewer and fewer scientists worked on classical unification, 'fewer and fewer' ? just put fewer scientists
 * However, this theory influenced Einstein's later, remove 'however'
 * years alone shouldnt be wikilinked
 * theory - the, do not use '-' use a comma

 * I revised the article along the suggested lines, except for inline citations, which according to the official criteria are needed only for information that is likely to be challenged. Note that most of the references are not available on line, and the primary on-line reference is an extensive survey, so that linking to it is not very helpful. — DAGwyn 06:59, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Citations don't need to be online, you can refer to books, papers and such but information about that is needed. For this article to be a GA it will require inline citations.
 * Classical unified field theories should be the first thing mentioned in the article, not in the second sentence
 * Any kind of pictures of anything related to the article that can be added?
 * See also Gönner, 2005, external link in the middle of the text.
 * It's looking better but still needs a lot of work, i suggest a scientific Peer review which will give you automated suggestions on how to improve and readers will also suggest ideas. M3tal H3ad 07:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The intro paragraph has to distinguish the subclass from the wider class, which is best done by mentioning the wider class first, as is typical for definitions in general. — DAGwyn 06:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Pictures? Of abstruse fundamental theory? Is the goal to entertain or to inform? — DAGwyn 06:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Failed. It needs in-line references. M3tal H3ad 05:23, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

 * As I pointed out before, the GA criteria do not require inline citations. They are called for only where points are likely to be disputed, which should not apply here since the material is a historical report. Is there an identifiable point of contention? We certainly cannot insert a reference for every single statement. — DAGwyn 06:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Mendel Sachs
DAGwyn: Why do you remove the information on Mendel Sachs? - SJRubenstein —Preceding unsigned comment added by SJRubenstein (talk • contribs) 01:25, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The reasons were given in the edit description. The cited reference didn't support the text that had been added, and disrupted the nice closing of the previous text.  Sachs evidently did not publish a complete theory like the others(*) in the article, and certainly did not "complete" Einstein's work..  If we were to start mentioning relatively minor contributions, there are numerous candidates from more recent times, Penrose's twistor theory for example.  Since later work of this sort borrowed ideas more heavily from quantum theory, it doesn't really fit the theme of the article.
 * (*) The existing text concerning Whyte could also be challenged as referring to an incomplete theory, but attempts to remove the associated text turned into an "editing war", ending in a compromise in which the text remained but was adjusted to more accurately reflect the status of Whyte's work. The article would be improved by excising the section on Whyte, but I don't want to instigate that at this time. — DAGwyn (talk) 01:45, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Since the preceding comment, some other editor removed the section on Whyte, and no editing war ensued (unlike a previous attempt to excise it). I think that was an improvement.  — DAGwyn (talk) 08:28, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Einstein's geometric approaches (On Why Electromagnetism curves spacetime)
The first sentence in this section describes mass-energy equivalence as being pivotal to understand why the electromagnetic field energy has a corresponding stress-energy tensor. This actually threw me off a bit while trying to understand Einstein's approach to a classical unified field theory. If mass-energy equivalence was the reason the electromagnetic field energy had a stress-energy tensor, then wouldn't every form of energy curve spacetime? Heat energy should curve spacetime. Sound should curve spacetime. All via mass-energy equivalence.

I feel a more valid explanation has to do with the fact that the electromagnetic field energy creates attractive and repulsive forces via electrical charges. And given that general relativity describes the attractive forces of gravity with stress energy tensors/spacetime curvature, one would expect that a field theory unifying gravity and electromagnetism would also represent the attractive/repulsive forces of electromagnetism with stress-energy tensors/spacetime curvature.

It was as an additional page to the Billy Bishop site, that I put up the first (as far as I know) web page about WWII American ace, Lance C. Wade. Upon finding Wikipedia, I have since created the Lance C. Wade article. So far, several people have contributed to it, making it better along the way.

Currently I am engaged in an eternal struggle to see to it that the Wiki article on John Lott is at least fair, and attempt to revert it to NPOV status. And no, I do NOT believe that the article on John Lott fits the Wikipedia Ideal of NPOV. And it would have the Except, every time I, or anyone else attempts to put it there, the nay-sayers and critics of Dr. Lott, take it off. I've tried objecting, but currently I am one against many.

Jay Blanchard

Jay Stanley Blanchard (born 1946) served one term as a state senator in Arizona, representing District 30 for the Democrats. Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Blanchard is a former naval flight officer who received a Ph.D. in Reading Education from the University of Georgia in 1979.

In 2000, Blanchard was the token Democratic Senate candidate in the heavily Republican East Mesa district when his opponent House Speaker Republican Jeff Groscost became enmeshed in the "alt fuels" scandal that tarnished the end of Gov. Jane Hull's second term. Blanchard won in a surprising upset, giving Democrats a 15–15 split with Republicans in the Arizona Senate. Two years later, Blanchard ran for Superintendent of Public Instruction, and was defeated by Republican Tom Horne.

Prior to becoming a senator, Blanchard was a professor of psychology in education at Arizona State University. He has written three education-related books and numerous articles. After leaving politics, Blanchard returned to ASU and is currently serving as a member of the state's School District Redistricting Commission.

Recht (crater)

Recht is a small impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It was named after the American mathematician and astronomer Albert William Recht. Is lies across the eastern rim of the much larger crater Ostwald. To the northeast of Recht is Meshcherskiy.

This is a bowl-shaped formation with an interior floor that is less than half the diameter of the crater. The inner walls have a higher albedo than the surrounding terrain, while the interior floor is about the same shade of grey.

Boyfriends & Birthdays

Boyfriends & Birthdays is the second one-off programme from the British pop group S Club 7. It first aired on 12 December 1999 and was produced for CBBC. In this movie, the cast proceeds with their long drive from Miami to Los Angeles and Rachel receives an ultimatum from her English boyfriend to return home. She is then forced to choose between remaining in S Club 7 and losing her boyfriend or leaving the group to stay with him.

Plot
Rachel is missing her boyfriend, and calls him from a telephone booth. He tells her that if she does not come back to England, their relationship is over. Rachel is left unsure about what course of action to take. The other members of the group decide to raise money for Rachel to return home by means of busking. They succeed in getting enough money for the trip and Rachel sets off to England, leaving S Club 7. However, she has a change of heart and returns, heartbroken, after deciding to remain in the group – but left reeling when her boyfriend dumps her over the phone.

Meanwhile, at Paradise Beach, the trailer park where they have stopped over for a few days on their journey through America, a poor family who have been stuck there for three years are hoping to get their car fixed – which is in such ruin that Jo initially cannot fix it, but she resolves to once Rachel has recouped the money from her unused fare for her return trip to England. The oldest of the children there, Jimmy Bob, is getting excited about his dad coming to see him on his birthday soon – only to get upset and run away when he is told he will not be able to come after all. The band split into groups to search for Jimmy Bob, with Rachel eventually finding him alone on the beach. She tells him that some people cannot understand that just because someone is not able to be there for them does not mean they do not want to.

A surprise birthday party for Jimmy Bob is held back at the trailer park and Jo unveils the fully restored car to the family, allowing Jimmy Bob to visit his father for his birthday. But before they then all head off again on their journey to Los Angeles, Jo has one last surprise for Rachel: a cute mechanic from whom Jo had gotten the spare parts for the car has stopped by to install the stoplights, and Rachel is instantly smitten with him. They talk for a while and Rachel is able to get over her ex-boyfriend by kissing the mechanic, vowing never to forget him.

Trivia

 * This is the first of two post-season S Club 7 specials in which Rachel almost leaves the group for romantic purposes. The second special is the post-L.A. 7 season, Artistic Differences, in which Rachel is smitten with a waiter she meets.  He tells her that they are going off to Las Vegas to open a restaurant, but it turns out he is a con man who's already married and makes up stories like this to swoon girls.

Talk:Emily Gilmore

Untitled
For a May 2005 deletion debate over this page see Votes for deletion/Emily Gilmore

Minor nitpick, but.
Smith College, though one of the Seven Sisters, was not affiliated with Yale University (even in its early days, much less the mid-twentieth century). Unless I am very much mistaken -- and if I am, feel free to correct me -- I have snipped that from the sentence so that it now reads: She was raised by a strict social code and graduated from Smith College, one of the "Seven Sisters".

Criticism of the character
Great work with the article so far! I just wanted to point out that there has been criticism of the character's interactions with her maids, which several media outlets deemed racist. This was primarily focused on her storyline with Berta in the revival, but there are some references to the original show as well. Here are some sources about this that can be used in the article: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Aoba47 (talk) 15:18, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you!:-) Yeah I definitely remember there being a lot of backlash about Berta the new maid; I'm actually a little susprised (and overwhelmed) but just how muchhhh coverage this character has received on the Internet, my browser has at least 75 tabs open right now lol. But it's coming together slowly :)--Changedforbetter (talk) 17:03, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response. I am actually quite pleasantly surprised by how much coverage this particular character has received online. I just wanted to make sure that you were are of the more negative reviews of the character and her related storyline to make sure that the article stays balanced as it can be quite easy to stay focused on purely the positive reception. I also wanted to include some links from reliable sources just to make it easier for you and help you out a little there. You have done a lot of excellent work with this, like always, and definitely take your time with this as I can assume this will take awhile for everything to come together. Good luck with it! I would suggest putting this as its own paragraph in the Reception section. Aoba47 (talk) 17:27, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

I apologize for the random message, but I was wondering if you are planning to take this to GAN. You have done a lot of excellent work with this article, and I could see it having a shot there. Aoba47 (talk) 20:23, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey, no worries, always good to hear from you. Yeah I have in fact thought about finishing up this article and getting it to GA at some point, but it's on the back burner right now simply because there are a few more articles I'm a little more passionate about. But it's definitely on the list.--Changedforbetter (talk) 03:05, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

While reverting some sneaky vandalism done to my user page, I checked the vandal's edits. There I found this page, and as the person mentioned seemed unnotable, I nominated him here. Note: The name gets a lot of google hits, but they seem to be for other Jay Blanchards, such as the state senator or the professor. Scimitar 15:35, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep-- This is a legitimate entry. The above statement is incomprehensible & seems like more of a revenge vote than an actual dismissal of the page.

Matteis

Matteis is an ancient family surname of Italian origin. Most Matteis families now reside in the southern part near Naples in a town called Avellino. The name originated in Chiusano San Domenico, and was often characterized with the nickname "Controme". Chiusano San Domenico is a very small town, but yet very old, going back more than 2000 years. It is mostly a residential community, with many families, including those bearing the name Matteis, including one "Pasquale Matteis". It's a very religious town, yet very nice and peaceful. Near the community is a great mountain which is very important to the people of Chiusano. It has religious significance, and has a cross at its top.

Source for Italian origin
The last name Matteis is an Italian surname that is quite common in some Italian regions like Campania in Southern Italy, Lazio in Central Italy, and Piemonte in Northern Italy while it is less common in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna (Central Italy) and in Lombardia (Northern Italy).

The Matteis surname can be found in 48 Italian towns, whereas De Matteis which has the same origin is much more common and is present in 464 towns all over Italy, though it originates in Puglia (Southern Italy).

As for the origin of Matteis, it derives from the Latin name Mattheus (Matteo in Italian, Matthew in English) used in the ablative plural Mattheis and then Matteis in Italian or De Matteis meaning literally “belonging to the family of Matteo” as both Matteis and De Matteis which end in the Latin ablative “–eis” mean that someone was son/daughter of a certain Matteo which was the ancestor of this family.

Reasoning for the name appearing in other parts of Europe
The name Matteis can be found in other parts of Europe, including Germany and England. This is probably due to migration out of Italy. Matteis families in Germany most likely are a result of the Matteis families in the Piemonte region of Italy moving North. Some Matteis families can be found in England and other parts of Europe. For example, the violinist Nicola Matteis traveled to London in the early 1670s. Still, most families can be found in Italy, where the name originated.

Matteis name appears in old Latin text
"Parentalia, inquam, unde Idololatriae malum caput extulit erroris. Nam gulae suae causa primum coeperunt homines prandia mortuis praeparare, quae ipsi comederent. etc. Quo spectant ista Tertulliani de Testim. Animae, Si quando extra portam cum obsoniis et matteis, tibi potius parentans ad busta recedis, aut a bustis dilutior redis. Idem vetatur in Capitul. Caroli M. l. 6. c. 194. etc."

2001 Iranian presidential election

Presidential elections were held in Iran on 8 June 2001. The result was a victory for incumbent president Mohammad Khatami, who was re-elected for a second term.

Candidates
Although 814 candidates registered for the election, including 25 women, the Guardian Council reduced it to ten.

The final candidates were:
 * Mohammad Khatami, incumbent President
 * Ahmad Tavakkoli, former Minister of Labour and Social Affairs
 * Ali Shamkhani, Minister of Defense
 * Abdollah Jassbi, Chancellor of Islamic Azad University
 * Mahmoud Kashani, former Iranian delegation to the International Court of Justice
 * Hassan Ghafourifard, former Minister of Energy and Member of Parliament
 * Mansour Razavi, Member of Tehran City Council
 * Shahabedin Sadr, former Member of Parliament
 * Ali Fallahian, former Minister of Intelligence
 * Mostafa Hashemitaba, Head of Physical Education Organization

Campaign
After the scandalous final two years of his term, Mohammad Khatami was expected to be elected by a much smaller margin than in 1997. His term was marred by the unlawful arrest of political activists, killings of Iranian dissidents, and closure of several Iranian newspapers. Though Khatami was still believed to win by a landslide, this oppression was thought to significantly impact his performance in the election. Initially, Khatami had considered not running for reelection. But, after months of his supporters and party members pleading with him, he finally decided to declare his candidacy two months before the start of the election. Central to Khatami's campaign were the issues of economic revival, job growth, and democratic reform. Khatami also sought to restore the austerity of the Iranian Revolution. According to CNN, Khatami's aides described his campaign as a “referendum for reform”. Most of Khatami's nine other challengers were independent conservatives, according to BBC.
