Angela's Welcome
Hello Nick, welcome to Wikipedia. It's great to see you've got a username at last. If you haven't already found the Wikipedia tutorial, you might pick up some useful tips from it. You can also regularly find new tips on the Community Portal. user page has some advice on what to add to your user page.

If you have any questions, just ask at the help desk or on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. Good luck with the Birmingham issues. Angela. 00:15, May 19, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks Angela, i didn't actually think i'd managed to register but seems it worked. =)

User page reverts
Hi Nick, I'm sorry your introduction to Wikipedia has been like this. Andy has caused problems in the past, so you're not the only one to be annoyed by him. I don't know what to suggest other than you try mediation, or perhaps just focus on other areas for a while until the Birmingham issues calm down.

He has no right to be reverting your user page. If you want it blanked, feel free to do so. If he continues to reinsert the text, it can be protected, though this would mean you couldn't edit it either. I'm sorry you find Wikipedia elitist. It really isn't, but sometimes actions can be misconstrued as vandalism, particularly if you are removing large parts of text without explanation. Please try not to get frustrated with this. There are problem users on Wikipedia, and we haven't yet found an ideal way of dealing with them, but our processes for doing this are improving slowly. I hope you will stay and contribute. Your edits to Birmingham and other articles are very much wanted, by everyone but Andy I expect.

Angela. 20:50, May 26, 2004 (UTC)

 * "He has no right to be reverting your user page" Your evidence for this, please? Andy Mabbett 00:18, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

Ok, look on my user page history...

Thanks Nick.

 * "Your edits to Birmingham and other articles are very much wanted, by everyone but Andy I expect" Have you seen them? Have you seen how many are copyright violations, or reverts, removing corrections to spelling and grammar? Andy Mabbett 00:32, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

(I openly admitted that i did make errors when i first started to work on Wikipedia as do many people i expect re: copy 'n' paste then thinking it was ok by editing the work myself, i soon realised it was wrong and now i only submit my own work which is quite extensive on the page.) Nick

I agree with all of what Angela wrote. Don't worry too much about the present conflict with Andy, find something else to work on for a bit, and you'll se that this really can be fun. I don't know why you're getting "blocked" messages. --rbrwrˆ 21:54, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Hi Nick I've looked through the ip block list and cant find you on it anywhere. So I dont know why you've been getting access denied messages.

 * As the others have said, dont be put off by Andy Mabbet you've been doing good work here which is much appreciated. I too have had conflicts with Andy in the past as have several other people, he can be a pain to deal with but thankfully not everyone round here is like that. Cheers G-Man 22:03, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

Thanks guys, i tried to write a reply before i went out tonight but a thunder and lightening storm killed the power mid conversation, if i had the time i could work out which IP address was blocked, i still can guess but it doen't matter. I have enjoyed writing here and the silly thing is that i didn't even realise that anyone else wrote stuff here for weeks because i was so engrosed in adding things i didn't realise that you could discuss the page or that editors existed or even had their own talk pages, it was like some strange dream that i just kept revisiting to add more each night but then i guess... like everything, reallity strikes and it's back to confrontation, dissagreement and my own silly pride! Thanks for your comments, i AM a human being and your words ARE appreciated. I hope that Andy and myself can reach an amicable agreement just so long as i am not suddenly blocked, i am not as 'net savvy' as i should be considering my last job (my boss would laugh) my brain just wants to shut down at the end of the day which is not good seeing as i have much music to write.. i write too much! (sorry)

Hi Nick, I've been here for a long time, and in my experience the sort of dispute like the one at Birmingham tends to get sorted out eventually by some means or other so dont give up. A lot of people here are sympathetic to you and your treatment by Andy. Cheers G-Man 23:10, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * What "treatment" would this be? Andy Mabbett 23:13, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Well let me see Andy, there's your unexplained and high-handed deletion of much of Nick's work, which you refuse to discuss in any sensible manner. Then there's your turning a content dispute into a petty personal grudge. Then there's your refusal to compromise with anyone and insisting on getting your own way at practically everything.

I must tell you this Andy your recent antics have made you come across as somewhat immature to say the least.

Honestly Andy no-one wants to fall out with you, you have done much good work here, but you are difficult to work with sometimes. You must learn to let things go and move on sometimes. I'm really not trying to get at you you know. G-Man 23:30, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks G-man, i have come accross people like Andy before and it is obviously some sort of grudge, why i don't know or really care too much but i will continue to try and get on, i think personally it's either jelousy of content that he wanted to write or an insecurity of some kind but i am a tolerant person. User:Nick Boulevard

By-the-way I thought you might be interested in Changing attribution for an edit. Basically if you put your name and your ip number down there, you can have all your previous anonymous edits attributed to you. Cheers G-Man 19:45, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, that is a weekend job i think.

Thanks for your help and if anyone is reading this then i can asure you that G-Man is a real asset to Wikipedia, as are all of the people that have taken the time to post positive comments here.

There just aren't enough hours in my day at present, but i would lke to become more active in Wikipedia if i can.

User:Nick Boulevard

A tip
By-the-way you can sign your comments much more easilly by typing in this ~ (SHIFT + the # button) at the end of your comments. If you do that it will automatically sign and date your comment and avoid having to do it manually. Cheers G-Man 23:07, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Cheers G-man, i may appear slightly docile at times but i think my brain is working on too many things at once at present hence i often spread myself too thinly as i suspect to be the case for many people here. I'm not logged in at mo but will practice your advice on this post.

Cheers Nick

Nick Boulevard 22:20, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hey... thats cool man, thanks for that G-man, Nick Boulevard 22:21, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hi, thanks to you, Andy Mabbett and G- man i am still here on Wikipedia and it gets more intriguing by the week, people are strange when your a stranger as Jim Morrison sang and Wikipedia is a perfect example.
 * Hi Nick, it's great your early experiences on Wikipedia did not put you off.

So one question, obviously your photo is there to see for one n all and it possibly only enhances your port folio here if most of your wiki admirers were to be honest
 * Thanks

but... do you actually read all your questions on here
 * Yes I do. I've had over 1000 messages on my talk page and read every single one. Even the quickly reverted vandalism ones!

and do you work full time
 * Not any more. I'm doing less stressful and less time consuming temp jobs in order to spend more time on Wikimedia. Had I not won the election, I would be working full time as I was until fairly recently.

are you angling for a position on Wikipedia
 * I have one. I'm on the Board of Trustees. :)

 * Angela. 23:07, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hey, well you totally deserve that as you have helped me when really you could have quite easily ignored a non-registered user, i just feel bad now as i din't vote for you (especially when i could have done so several times with my many confusing i.p. addresses??? whats that all about... thanks Nick Boulevard 23:39, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

---Andy Mabbett---

I hope that Andy doesn't tke any of my disc page to heart as i think the majority of his work IS excellent, he may be a little stuborn though i can think of worse trtes! i am a little bit stubborn also, you are'nt the villain you make yourself out to be Andy, i think you're a valuble asset to wikipedia if truth be told! :)

User:Nick Boulevard 09:59, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Please don't always add information to the top of articles.
Articles are supposed to begin with an introductory sentence and paragraph and then get into more trivial information. You changed windscreen wiper to start with the first patented version, but this isn't Wikipedia style; we tell people what they are, then go into details about e.g. invention.

Your claim on steering wheel that a certain Mr Lanchester invented them in 1907 is inaccurate. Steering wheels existed way before 1907; I've driven a 1902 car with one, and it was hardly the first. It's hard to find a post-1900 car still using a tiller. Besides, the steering wheel is not a million miles away from a ship's wheel, which precedes it significantly. Please check your facts better or get your dates right. —Morven 04:21, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * In fact, I note, you've been adding the same bollocks to a bunch of articles. Knock it off. —Morven 04:23, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Morven,

1. erm sorry to correct you but what you refer to as "bollocks" is actually taken from an article on Wikipedia and not plucked from my imagination, it is factual and i would apreciate you NOT reverting unless it is genuinely incorrect which may well be the case in the steering wheel but again, i only took it from fred lanchester and anyway i didnt say he invented the steering wheel i said he experimented with it on cars?

2. I see your point on not adding facts to the top of the page, point taken :)

3. Would you mind not using such childish language on my talk page as well, thanks!

Nick Boulevard 12:29, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Birmingham and Galton
I'm sure you have the best of intentions, but I really think that Francis Galton's place of birth is not relevant on a page about the history of eugenics. Unless you can explain some very concrete way in which it matters specifically with concern to eugenics, please stop re-adding it. Unless there is some reason for it to be specifically in there, it is just trivia. A good way to think of it might be to ask, Would it have mattered if Galton was born in London? Probably not, as I understand it (you're welcome to correct me, though). Compare this with another fact: Would it have mattered if Galton was not Darwin's cousin? Yes, probably, since Darwin had a good deal of influence on Galton's educational choices (it was Darwin who told him to pursue mathematics), and Darwin's familial proximity also made sure that Galton read Darwin and Darwin read Galton (and they influenced each others works considerably). See the difference between these two types of facts? That's what I'm talking about when I distinguish one as trivia, and I think we should try to keep the trivia low in articles like that. --Fastfission 00:32, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for adding the info to Galton on the Birmingham page. i DO believe it is relevant to have Galtons place of origin on the Eugenics page, the point is that Galton was one of the main players in this area and he was born into one of the most important industrial cities in the world where the Lunar Society mingled and where invention and new thought ran wild, gas lighting, first petrol car, steam power, literature and so on... this surely gave Galton a superb background of thinking outside the box in a busy, fast developing city and country. Birmingham, England. Please could we just include this small fact seing as he was such a major component of the article. Nick Boulevard 15:19, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism
If someone "deleted loads of text without good reason or discussion", it sounds like simple vandalism so should be reverted. Be careful of the WP:3RR though. You may want to ask others to help at WP:VIP if you think it is vandalism, or at WP:ANI otherwise. Angela. 05:29, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks Angela, I am at a bit of a loss for ideas at the moment. Cheers for the reply Nick Boulevard 23:38, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Hello Nick, sorry I didn't reply to you earlier. Frankly I'm very tired of all this Birmingham malarkey and I honestly dont know what to do about it all. I have tried raising it at the Wikipedia talk:UK Wikipedians' notice board but havn't had much response. G-Man 23:33, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi guys, I will try and raise my game, as we speak I have not ventured back to the main page but I am about to do so! I will guess at AB many deletions, I do actually have a little trick up my sleeve with a wiki member. :) Nick Boulevard 23:38, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Tips
Nick just some advice, which I hope is helpful:

 * 1) It might be a good idea to cite your references when you add things to the wikipedia to avoid endless disputes, see Verifiability and Cite your sources rather than reverting. Then you would have a much stronger position.

 * 1) It is best to avoid using language that sounds like it is promoting Birmingham rather than giving out facts.

I'm afraid I have a few critical words. I'm sorry to say this, but I would agree with some other people that you get too attached to your own work. I can understand why you get annoyed, but It's best not to get too attached to things on wikipedia as anyone can change things. Reverting things because you added them is not very helpful, as I have said, if you can verify everything you add you'll be in a much stronger position.

I'm trying to be helpful so I hope this helps. G-Man 00:36, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks G-Man, I do become quite passionate about my work and I honestly don't mind it being edited but I am afraid that Andy Mabbett has deleted much of my work and he is adding those snide slants on Brum articles again Nick Boulevard 11:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Seconded. Nick: you would find things would run far more smoothly if you followed the Wikipedia procedures G-Man mentions. Content on Wikipedia isn't decided by who debates it most energetically; it's about showing that what you write can be verified by some reliable source. Every edit page says it at the foot: please Cite your sources so others can check your work.

 * If you say red sprockets were first invented in Birmingham in 1910, you need to show where that fact came from. If you don't, and someone finds a paper showing they were invented in Sheffield in 1890, don't take it as an insult. That's how the editing process here works: refining and correcting detail to make the text better and better.

 * Neutral point of view and Avoid peacock terms are also important. Nobody has anything against you personally or against Birmingham. It's just that there's a style - not being slanted pro- or anti- anything - that encyclopaedias have to follow. People alter your work simply because it doesn't follow that style, and they'd do the same with anyone.

 * That's also why they all edit it in a similar way. It doesn't mean they're sock puppets for the same person. They're just following the same Wikipedia rules on style and standards of proof.

 * I know your first reaction will be to write a page arguing why I'm wrong and why I'm probably Andy Mabbett in disguise - but check out those guidelines instead. RayGirvan 01:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hey thanks for takin the time to visit my talk page, Ray, I think you will find that Andy Mabbett has a history of craftily deleting (not just editing) my work to suit himself, he always adds a negative slant also which if anything seems to severely un-balance the article, and the fact that he has discovered the virtues of deleting under many different user names has obviously fooled you :)

I actually enjoy other people editing what I have written but I will not tolerate it being removed when it is true, if sections of my work are not accurate then fine, research it and if proven I would be foolish and naive to stand in the way of truth, the real problem here is that I have added so much to Birmingham related pages and much of it has been from my research on the net, well if my source is not 100% correct then the article I write may come out the same, the fact is that once the articles are there they can evolve. I am not irrational unless it comes to Andy Mabbett and even thats a bit of a laugh ;) Nick Boulevard 11:24, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Frim-Fram Sauce

"The Frim-Fram Sauce" is a jazz song written by Redd Evans and Joe Ricardel. In 2002, journalist William Safire said frim-fram sauce was a variant of flim-flam or deceit and "ussin-fay" was pig Latin for "fussing", meaning "playing about fretfully". Safire quoted singer Diana Krall on the meaning of "shafafa": "'It's all about sex,' she replied innocently." The song was made famous by The King Cole Trio whose recording on October 11, 1945 (Capitol 224) reached the Billboard charts with a peak position of No. 19. "The Frim-Fram Sauce" was recorded by Ella Fitzgerald with Louis Armstrong in 1946 and many other artists have also made recordings including Diana Krall who recorded the song for her albums Stepping Out (1993) and All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio (1996).

Leonard Knight Elmhirst

Leonard Knight Elmhirst (6 June 1893 – 16 April 1974) was a British philanthropist and agronomist who worked extensively in India. He co-founded with his wife, Dorothy, the Dartington Hall project in progressive education and rural reconstruction.

Biography
Leonard Elmhirst was born into a landed gentry family in Worsbrough (now part of Barnsley, Yorkshire), where the family seat is Houndhill. He was the second of nine siblings (eight boys and one girl). His elder brother, Captain William Elmhirst, was killed on 13 November 1916, aged 24, while serving with the 8th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment during the Battle of the Somme, and the third son, Second Lieutenant Ernest Christopher Elmhirst, was killed on 7 August 1915, aged 20, while serving with the 8th Bn. Duke of Wellington's (West Riding Regiment) during the Gallipoli Campaign; both during World War I. The fourth son, Thomas became Air Marshal Sir Thomas Elmhirst (KBE, CB, AFC, DL, RAF).

In 1912 Leonard Elmhirst went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, to study history and theology, intending to follow his father into the Church. In 1914, he was deemed unfit for military service and volunteered for overseas service in the YMCA. His experience of the problems of rural India was to fundamentally change the direction of his career. After one year's service in the army he was demobilised in 1919 and entered Cornell University in Ithaca, New York to study agriculture. Arriving almost penniless, he successfully completed a four-year degree course in two years. In 1920 he was elected president of Cornell's Cosmopolitan Club, which was mostly for foreign students, and found that it had large debts and depended on the philanthropy of its alumni and others. Money-raising activities brought him in contact with Dorothy Straight, who was to become his wife.

In America he also met the 1913 Nobel Laureate for Literature, Rabindranath Tagore, and in November 1921 returned to India as Tagore's secretary. In 1922, in the village of Surul (of which Sriniketan is a part) adjacent to Santiniketan, West Bengal, he set up for Tagore an Institute of Rural Reconstruction. Between 1923 and 1925, Leonard travelled twice around the globe, lecturing and supporting Rabindranath Tagore's missions to Europe, Asia and South America.

The influence of Tagore, and the interests and money of his wife to be, led Elmhirst to undertake an experiment in rural reconstruction at Dartington Hall in Devon. It is said that Tagore had become familiar with Dartington during his travels in England and influenced Elmhirst in his selection of the estate, which was purchased in a series of transactions in 1925. Elmhirst also assisted in the re-acquisition of his ancient family seat, Houndhill, a couple of miles from his birthplace.

Works
In 1931, when the Dartington Hall experiment was established they set up a trust to manage its affairs so they could undertake other work worldwide. Leonard's work included:

 * Work for Exeter University, Devon County Council and local organisations
 * 1929: launched the International Conference of Agricultural Economists
 * 1931: helped to found the policy think tank Political and Economic Planning
 * 1932: brought artificial insemination of cattle from Russia to Devon
 * President of the Royal Forestry Society
 * War-time public service during World War II including agricultural missions to the Middle East and India
 * Irrigation and hydroelectricity in the Damodar Valley, India
 * 1954: Member, Indian Rural Education Committee

Personal life
Leonard married Dorothy Payne Whitney in September 1925. They had two children. He was the stepfather of racing driver and aviator Whitney Straight (1912–1979), actress Beatrice Straight (1914–2001) and writer and KGB spy Michael Whitney Straight (1916–2004). Their daughter Ruth married the environmentalist Maurice Ash. On the occasion of the 25th wedding anniversary of Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst in 1950, Benjamin Britten composed Five Flower Songs, a cycle of part songs premiered in the open air at Dartington, conducted by Imogen Holst. After Dorothy died, Leonard married Susanna Isaacs-Elmhirst in 1973 in Worsborough, Yorkshire.

Honours
In 1946 he refused the offer of a barony from Prime Minister Clement Attlee. In a letter to Attlee he replied that "My own work, however, as you know, has lain in the main among country people...in India, the USA and in Devonshire...acceptance would neither be easy for me to explain nor easy for my friends to comprehend". In 1972, he declined another honour from Ted Heath.

He received honorary doctorates from Freiburg (D.Pol.Sci.), Visva-Bharati (D.Litt.), the University of Durham (D.C.L.), the University of Oxford (D.C.L.), and the University of Exeter (D.C.L.). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 1926 and a fellow of the American Farm Economic Association in 1960.

He was elected Honorary President of the Devonshire Association in 1959.

Faraid Head

Faraid Head (An Fharaird) is a small peninsula on the northern coast of Sutherland, Highland, Scotland, located around 2 mi north of the hamlet of Balnakeil and 3 mi north of Durness.

At the point is located a small radar station built in the 1950s to house a ROTOR radar system to provide radar coverage of Scotland's north coast. By the time the facility was completed however the ROTOR system had become obsolete and the station was closed down but remained in the hands of the Ministry of Defence. In later years the main building was renovated as a control tower for the Cape Wrath and Garvie Island bombing ranges.

Extensive sand dunes can be found at Faraid Head which forms part of the Oldshoremore, Cape Wrath and Durness Special Landscape Area.

Talk:Yo-yo problem

Original
This was removed from the original article.

 * On the other hand, object-oriented programming methodology is structured around data and data types. If the programmer uses this structure to follow and understand the object-oriented program, the problem disappears, as there will be no need to follow the control-flow structure, except during debugging.

I am not sure about this. This sounds a bit ranting. Does anyone care to clarify this? -- Taku 23:01, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

 * With object-oriented design, control flow is not very important for being able to understand the design, because object-oriented design principles enforce that methods can be independently invoked in any order without changing the meaning of each invocation, which means that all important aspects of the program (that is, class invariants) are preserved even if the methods are invoked in different order. This is also the reason why many object-oriented systems use callbacks, where order cannot be enforced due to lack of information for the caller as to correct order. [Any system that uses callbacks in a way that requires that those callbacks are invoked in certain order is flawed, IMO]. The independence from ordering is ensured by the API design principle that says that methods in each interface should be orthogonal to each other. This is sometimes called the "Operand principle" [see Meyer: Object-oriented software construction ], and it states that a method must not have optional parameters, only mandatory parameters. Sometimes the same thing is also called "Shopping list principle". This principle is implied by the open-closed principle (class should be open for extension but closed from modification), because a class is extensible exactly when all parameters to every method are mandatory. For object-oriented design, more important consideration to order of execution is how stack is used (layering), and how different classes (not objects!) relate to each other. esap 16:53, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Lack of Sources Listed
I noticed there are no sources listed on this wiki page. Robert binder provides an excellent overview of the yo-yo problem in his book, Testing Object-Oriented Systems, Models, Patterns, and Tools. I'm certain he also references some good articles on this subject. I'll spend a bit of time soon adding references to this problem soon. Blutrot (talk) 19:36, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Right of abode

The right of abode is an individual's freedom from immigration control in a particular country. A person who has the right of abode in a country does not need permission from the government to enter the country and can live and work there without restriction, and is immune from removal and deportation (unless the right of abode has been revoked).

Generally, in order to have the right of abode in a certain country, a person must be a citizen of that country. However, some countries grant the right of abode for qualified non-citizens. This is distinct with the commonly-called right to land, right to live or right of residence, e.g. with permanent residency of the country generally have a de facto right of residence, but it can be revoked in certain circumstances (unlike a citizenship which can only be revoked in very limited circumstances such as fraud or national security concern), for example, conviction of crimes, or in some countries, prolonged absence from said country, and in many cases, such persons are not free from immigration control.

EU, EEA, and the Schengen Agreement
Citizens of the European Economic Area (the European Union plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) and Switzerland enjoy the freedom to travel to, live in, and work in any participating country without needing a work permit or visa, although transitory dispositions may restrict the rights of citizens of new member states to work in other countries. This is defined by the Directive 2004/38/EC on the right to move and reside freely.

However, rights to live in another EU/EEA state are not absolute. To reside in another EU/EEA state, one must either be working, job-hunting, a student, or otherwise have sufficient financial resources and health insurance to ensure they do not become a burden on the social services of the host country. States may also require nationals of other EU/EEA states to register their presence with the authorities after a certain period of time. EU/EEA states may deport nationals of other EU/EEA states and issue exclusion orders against them on grounds of public policy, public security, or public health. For example, those who commit serious crimes or come to rely on welfare may be deported. However, those subjected to such exclusion orders must be able to appeal them after a maximum period of three years, as per EU regulations. Under no circumstances can an EU/EEA state exclude a national of another EU/EEA state for life.

Any EU/EEA national who completes a five-year period of uninterrupted legal residence in another EU/EEA state becomes eligible for permanent residence, after which their presence is no longer subjected to any conditions, and they may apply for benefits that would previously have been grounds for removal, such as welfare. Permanent residency can only be revoked after a two-year absence.

Schengen Agreement
Nearly all EU/EEA countries are part of the Schengen Area; a group of countries that have signed the Schengen Agreement, which abolishes border controls between participating states, although it allows border controls to be temporarily set up in exceptional circumstances. The EEA countries and Switzerland have signed the Schengen treaty. Several of the new member states have not yet fully implemented it.

However, a few European countries require all persons to carry an identity card or passport and proof of nationality is normally required to take up residence in any member state. Thus, while the Schengen Agreement facilitates the movement of persons across frontiers, it makes no substantive difference to residence rights.

Nordic Passport Union
The Nordic Passport Union gives the citizens of Nordic countries the right to freely travel to and reside in other Nordic countries without a passport or residence permit.

Gulf Cooperation Council
Citizens of member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have freedom of movement throughout the GCC, including the right to reside and work in other GCC states with almost no restrictions.

Japan
Special permanent resident (Japan)

After Japan established diplomatic relations with South Korea, Japan granted a special permanent residency status to Koreans who lost their Japanese nationality after World War II but still live in Japan, as well as their descendants who born in Japan. Compare to regular Japan permanent residency, special permanent residents have more privileges, such as: deporting special permanent resident is more difficult; they can only be deported if they commit a crime punishable by seven or more years of imprisonment. During the 2020 pandemic, special permanent residents were allowed to return to Japan, while regular permanent residents were not.

Common Travel Area
The Common Travel Area (CTA) consists of the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, and the UK's surrounding island territories. British and Irish citizens can move freely throughout the CTA without a passport and only minimal identity documents, and are subject to virtually no immigration controls. Citizens of both countries enjoy the right to live and work throughout the CTA with minimal restriction.

Deportation of British or Irish citizens
Unlike other EU/EEA nationals, Irish citizens who move to the UK are granted a "settled status", a status that goes beyond indefinite leave to remain. Irish nationals eligible for deportation are treated more leniently than other EU/EEA nationals, and are not automatically subjected to deportation procedures when convicted of crimes, as Parliament has considered "the close historical, community and political ties between the United Kingdom and Ireland, along with the existence of the Common Travel Area." Irish citizens are therefore legally subject to deportation from the UK only where recommended by a court in sentencing or in exceptional circumstances where that deportation is in the public interest.

Irish law provides even stronger protections for British citizens. British citizens are completely exempt from deportation from Ireland, and are almost never treated as foreigners by law.

Commonwealth citizens in the UK
In addition, some nationals of member states of the Commonwealth of Nations are considered Commonwealth citizens, and have various rights in other Commonwealth countries, including the UK, such as the right-of-abode and the right to vote. In addition, British subjects born before 1984 have the right-of-abode.

If a person has a British mother and was born before 1984 then under section 2(1)(b) of the Immigration Act 1971 they are considered to have the same rights as a British citizen. The right-of-abode is conferred automatically on such persons and they are issued a certificate on their passport.

Under exceptions in section 7 of the Immigration Act 1971, a long-term resident Irish or Commonwealth citizen in the UK is granted immunity from deportation, similar to British or other Commonwealth citizens who hold right-of-abode by virtue of a residency term of at least five years in the United Kingdom. These exceptions do not apply to other nationalities with leave to remain in the United Kingdom.

British Overseas Territories
All British Overseas Territories operate their own immigration controls which apply to British citizens as well as to those from other countries. These territories generally have local immigration laws regulating who has belonger status in that territory.

Canada
Under the constitution, all Canadian citizens have the right to enter and remain in the country. Permanent residents are also conferred the right to reside and pursue a livelihood in any province or territory without restriction. This makes permanent residents the only foreign citizens with right of abode. However, permanent residents can also face revocation of this status under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Pakistan
The Pakistan Origin Card (POC) is issued to eligible foreigners, particularly those of Pakistani origin, who do not possess Pakistani citizenship, and offers its holders various benefits, including right of abode in the country. POC holders are also granted the right to engage in property transactions, open and operate bank accounts, and secure employment in Pakistan. Furthermore, the POC serves as a substitute for a National Identity Card for its holders.

The POC is distinct from the National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP), which is issued to Pakistani nationals residing abroad who hold dual citizenship.

De facto right of abode
The nationality laws of many countries allow foreign citizens to reside permanently in the country without seeking citizenship. This status is usually accorded following application and selection based on a variety of criteria. In Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States among others, foreign residents who have the right to reside permanently in the country are given the legal definition of designation of "permanent resident". Although not conferring all the rights and privileges of citizenship, it allows such individuals to enter freely as well as to take advantage of social programs and other services offered to citizens. Nonetheless, this still remains a "de facto" form of right of abode because it can be revoked in accordance with the law.

Full permanent resident
This includes cases where there is access to citizenship:

 * New Zealand grants Australian citizens/permanent residents full permanent resident rights in New Zealand.
 * The United Kingdom and Ireland grant automatic permanent residency to each other's citizens.
 * Full permanent residency rights exist between the countries of the Nordic Council (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland).

As long-term temporary residents
In these cases there is a right of residence but without access to full citizenship rights:

 * New Zealand citizens in Australia, but since 2001, Australia grants only limited rights.
 * Citizens of EEA member states and Switzerland living in each other's country (except the cases above).
 * Most citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and the Republic of Palau may live and work in the United States, and most U.S. citizens and their spouses may live and work in those states under a Compact of Free Association with the United States.

Neti neti

Neti Neti (Sanskrit : नेति नेति) is a Sanskrit expression which means "not this, not that", or "neither this, nor that" (' is sandhi from ' "not so"). It is found in the Upanishads and the Avadhuta Gita and constitutes an analytical meditation helping a person to understand the nature of Brahman by negating everything that is not Brahman. One of the key elements of Jnana Yoga practice is often a "neti neti search." The purpose of the exercise is to negate all objects of consciousness, including thoughts and the mind, and to realize non-dual awareness.

Significance of neti neti
Neti neti, meaning, "Not this, not this", is the method of Vedic analysis of negation. It is a keynote of Vedic inquiry. With its aid the Jnani negates identification with all things of this world, which is Anatman (Not-Self). Through this gradual process he negates the mind and transcends all worldly experiences that are negated till nothing remains but the Self. He attains the Absolute by denying the body, name, form, intellect, senses and all limiting adjuncts and discovers what remains, the true "I" alone. L.C.Beckett in his book, Neti Neti, explains that this expression is an expression of something inexpressible, it expresses the ‘suchness’ (the essence) of that which it refers to when ‘no other definition applies to it’. Neti neti negates all descriptions about the Ultimate Reality but not reality itself, annihilating our sense of self altogether.

Adi Shankara was one of the foremost Advaita philosophers who advocated the neti-neti approach. In his commentary on Gaudapada’s Karika, he explains that Brahman is free from adjuncts and the function of neti neti is to remove the obstructions produced by ignorance. His disciple, Sureshvara, further explains that the negation, neti neti, does not have negation as its purpose, it purports identity. The sage of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad II iii 1-6, beginning with there are two forms of Brahman, the material and the immaterial, the solid and the fluid, the Sat ‘being’ and tya, ‘that’ of Satya – which means true, denies the existence of everything other than Brahman. And therefore, there exists no separate entity like Jiva which Shankara states is the reflection of Brahman in Avidya (ignorance).

"Here, then, is the rule of substitution: 'not ____, not ____,' for there is nothing beyond the 'not.'" BU II iii 6

"About this self, one can only say 'not ____, not ____.'" BU IV v 15

Another explanation is in the book Introduction to the Vedārthasangraha of Sri Ramanujacharya by S. S. Raghavachar based on the Vishishtadvaita view: "That the enumerated forms exhaust the forms of Brahman is what is denied in 'neti neti'. Far from denying the forms of Brahman the statement (by Badarayana) asserts the infinity of the forms of Brahman. 'Neti neti' is negative in the letter but embodies a super-abundance of affirmation in spirit."

- Introduction to the Vedārthasangraha of Sri Ramanujacharya

This implies an extremely interesting aspect of the various possibilities an entity can go through. The fact that a person didn't know the alphabet as a baby is true, but whether s/he will not know it even as an adult depends on the person, who being nothing else but the manifestation of Brahman can become the causation to manifest into a highly literate person or illiterate, whichever personality the person desired for, subject to Karma/causality which is nothing else but Brahman again; Brahman itself being the cause of all Karma.

Avadhuta Gita
The following was extracted from Avadhuta Gita 1.25 on Wikisource: Sanskrit in Devanagari: तत्त्वमस्यादिवाक्येन स्वात्मा हि प्रतिपादितः । नेति नेति श्रुतिर्ब्रूयाद अनृतं पाञ्चभौतिकम् ।। २५।।

IAST: tattvamasyādivākyena svātmā hi pratipāditaḥ / neti neti śrutirbrūyād anṛtaṁ pāñcabhautikam //25//

By such sentences as "That thou art," our own Self is affirmed. Of that which is untrue and composed of the five elements - the Sruti (scripture) says, "Not this, not this."

Trunch

Trunch is a village and parish in Norfolk, England, situated three miles north of North Walsham and two miles from the coast at Mundesley. At the Census 2011 the village had a population of 909. The parish covers an area of 5.5 km2.

The villages name origin is uncertain perhaps, 'upland wood'.

Trunch never had any rail connections in the village itself but it does have a rail map outside of its pub. Before the 1960s one could go to the next village along (Knapton) to catch a train to Cromer or North Walsham from Paston & Knapton railway station (M&GN) to catch a train. Now the nearest stations are Gunton and North Walsham.

St Botolph's Parish Church
Trunch Parish Church is the Grade I listed 14th-century church of St Botolph. The church is famous for its carved and painted wood font canopy featuring lower panels with paintings of the twelve Apostles, a cornice including a Latin inscription, and above six arches filled with tracery. Only four such canopies still exist in England. St Botolph's also features a hammerbeam roof with carved angels, as well as medieval misericords under the seats in the chancel. Another medieval survival is the rood screen depicting 11 disciples and St Paul (their faces were scratched out during the Reformation). Lord Nelson's daughter is said to have been married in the church.

In 1589 Robert Thexton became the rector of Trunch. While at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, Thexton had been the roommate of Christopher Marlowe, the famous, and infamous, Elizabethan playwright.

In popular culture
The fictional village of St Just-near-Trunch is known in English folk music as the home of the former satirical folk duo, The Kipper Family.

Untitled
I've gone through and soted this list alphabetically by surname: when adding categories, please remember to sort the names too. e.g. . Also, the template for people links to the IMDB is  The JPS 23:06, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I've removed all entries up to G to their corresponding sub-categories (if needed, one can allways fill this category with the entries from the other subcategories, but I don't think it necessary! We should avoid repetition as happens in List of directors, which I've also correctly categorized up to G, but it's quite time consuming!). Paulo Oliveira 11:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Genres
Why are film directors not categorised by genre? Carcharoth 10:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting, but that would only work for a handful. Ford for westerns, Hitchcock, etc... ? After that, there will be problems with over-categorisation (directors now rarely stick to one genre), or arguments over the genre of x based on particular thematics or iconography. The JPS 11:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I asked because I want to make a category for people navigating Tolkien-related articles to end up at a category involving Tolkien-related film stuff, including directors. I am wondering what to call this category, and whether it is OK to put category tags on directors other than the ones used at the moment. For reference, the people (not just directors) that I want to create this category for are: Peter Jackson; Philippa Boyens; Fran Walsh; Ralph Bakshi; Rankin/Bass; Saul Zaentz. What sort of mix of "Tolkien" and "film" label would be best for a category involving these people? I'd also want to link it upwards to the film part of the category "tree". Carcharoth 12:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Gender some sort of classification here?
Why is there a "Category:Film directors" and a separate category "Category:Female film directors"? Are male directors not as interesting? Or perhaps, are females not included in the regular category "film directors"? Is there also a separate category for transexual film directors, or do they just go under film directors?

Replay (Grimwood novel)

Replay is a fantasy novel by American writer Ken Grimwood, first published by Arbor House in 1986. It won the 1988 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel.

The novel tells of a 43-year-old man who dies and wakes up back in 1963 in his 18-year-old body. He relives his life with all his memories of the previous 25 years intact. This happens repeatedly, with the man playing out his life differently in each cycle. The novel was a bestseller in Japan. Its time-loop concept has been referenced as a precursor of Harold Ramis' comedy-drama Groundhog Day (1993). Richard A. Lupoff explored a similar premise in his 1973 short story "12:01".

Characters and story
Replay is the account of 43-year-old radio journalist Jeff Winston, who dies of a heart attack in 1988 and awakens back in 1963 in his 18-year-old body as a student at Atlanta's Emory University. He then begins to relive his life with intact memories of the next 25 years, until, despite his best efforts at cardiac health, he dies of a heart attack, again, in 1988. He immediately returns to 1963, but several hours later than the last "replay". This happens repeatedly with different events in each cycle, each time beginning from increasingly later dates (first days, then weeks, then years, then ultimately decades). Jeff soon realizes that he cannot prevent his death in 1988, but he can change the events that occur before it, both for him, and for others.

During one subsequent replay, Jeff takes notice of a highly acclaimed film, Starsea, that has become a huge success at the box office in 1974. The film is written and produced by an unknown filmmaker, Pamela Phillips, who has recruited Steven Spielberg to direct and George Lucas as a special effects supervisor, before the two shot to stardom with their own projects. Because the film did not exist in previous replays, Jeff suspects that Pamela is also experiencing the same phenomenon. He locates her and asks her questions about future films which only a fellow replayer would know, confirming his suspicions.

Pamela and Jeff eventually fall in love and become convinced that they are soulmates. Complications arise when they notice that their replays are getting shorter and shorter, with Pamela not beginning her next replay until well after Jeff. Eventually, the two decide to try to find other replayers by placing cryptic messages in newspapers. The messages, which seem very vague to anyone who is not a replayer, generate a fair amount of dead-end responses until the pair receives a letter from a man who is clearly knowledgeable about future events. Jeff and Pamela decide to visit the stranger, only to discover that he is confined to a psychiatric hospital. Surprisingly, the staff does not pay attention to his discussion on the future, but it soon becomes clear why the man is institutionalized when he calmly states that he thinks aliens are forcing him to murder people for their own entertainment.

In a later replay, the two decide to take their experiences public, giving press conferences announcing future events in explicit detail. The government eventually takes notice and forces Pamela and Jeff to provide continued updates on foreign activities. Although the government denies responsibility, major political events begin to transpire differently, and Jeff attempts to break off the relationship. The government refuses, and the pair are imprisoned and forced to continue providing information.

As future replays become shorter and shorter, the two are left to wonder how things will eventually unfold—whether or not the replays will ultimately end, and the pair will pass into the afterlife—or if the current replay is, in fact, the last. Eventually, the replays become so short, Jeff and Pamela relive their original deaths repeatedly in succession—until Jeff finally has a heart attack which he manages to survive. While he calls Pamela soon afterward, she lets him know that she has also survived, and that their replaying was not a dream. While it seems ambiguous whether or not they will meet again, Jeff eagerly awaits entering an unpredictable future with endless possibilities.

In the subsequent epilogue, a Norwegian man finds himself waking up in a youthful body in 1988, twenty-nine years before his apparent death in 2017. He marvels at the possibilities that await him at retaining the memories of his life and world and national events for the next quarter century. It becomes apparent to the reader that the replay phenomenon is not limited to the three individuals experiencing it in the novel, nor is it limited to the 1963-1988 timeframe.

Awards and nominations
Replay won the 1988 World Fantasy Award and was on the shortlist for the 1988 Arthur C. Clarke Award.

The novel has been included in several lists of recommended reading: Modern Fantasy: The Hundred Best Novels (1988), Locus Reader's Poll: Best Science Fiction Novel (1988), Aurel Guillemette's The Best in Science Fiction (1993) and David Pringle's Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction (1995).

Sequel
Ken Grimwood was working on a sequel to Replay when he died from a heart attack in 2003 at the age of 59.

Film adaptation
On October 19, 2010, Warner Bros. reported that it was planning on a film version starring Ben Affleck and directing with Jason Smilovic writing the screenplay for this adaptation. On April 29, 2011, Robert Zemeckis was set to direct after Affleck left the project. It was reported later that Greg Berlanti was set to replace Zemeckis as director and will reimagine Jeff Winston as an advertisement executive.

June Event

June Events are alternatives to May Balls held by some Cambridge colleges.

The necessarily high price of May Ball tickets motivates some colleges to host Events instead. These evenings, tending to be shorter in duration and of a much lower key, are more affordable but constrained by a much lower budget.

Alternation
Some colleges chose to alternate between a May Ball and a June Event each year. Emmanuel College's May Ball is held in May Week every other year, with alternate years featuring an Event on Suicide Sunday.

In 2006, members of the College voted in favour of restoring Pembroke College's lost tradition of hosting a May Ball for 2007. In 2008 they will hold another June Event.

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 13:37, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Under the misapprehension that Minnesota, like some other states, placed its images in the public domain, I created Template:PD-MNGov. (Whichever images of the MN government are in the public domain, it's not true of all of them.) I learned that I was mistaken about this and did depopulate it (eventually), placing it in Templates for deletion. By then, someone had seen it, I gather, and had created this category under the same mistaken assumptions and linking to the template I'd created. It's not of my own creation so I can't ask for a speedy delete, but it is depopulated except for some explanatory text (there is also a page that links to it, apparently). (At best to keep as a category of images that are in the public domain and produced by the MN government, of course, but with the assumption that they are-unless-shown-otherwise removed, etc. ...)

The North Carolina category does not contain any articles, and its only subcategories are the Cary and Durham categories. The Cary and Durham categories each contain the current members of the respective municipality's governing council, as well as the mayor of the respective municipality. None of these people have done anything notable, except for holding local office. I believe that recent VfD discussions have strongly favored deleting articles written about such persons (and I have nominated all but the mayors for VfD). There is no reason that Wikipedia should include categories filled only with articles that ought to be deleted. NatusRoma 22:58, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Good idea, but extremely verbose title. We could probably come up with a more concise one. Radiant_* 10:34, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC) I originally listed this for renaming, but a lot of people voted to delete it. So I've replaced the CFR tag with a CFD tag now, and moved the discussion to the top just to make sure it gets enough time here. Abstain. Radiant_* 07:37, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

It's a poor idea. Articles are not improved by having their "significance" explained. They are improved by editors' not spending their time here slapping rather rude tags onto articles, and instead communicating with the articles' originators directly and actively improving the article. Cue six or seven deletionists who will explain the vital role this tag plays in making them feel all powerful. Grace Note 06:59, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree with Grace Note (it happens from time to time). Either an editor should make the minimal efforts required to determine whether a subject is significant, or he should go off and does something else. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:11, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The creator of this category designed it to include "parties with the name Conservative in Canada, and not for the categorization of politically right parties, or conservatism-subscribing parties, unless they are a Conservative Party".

The subject of political parties in Canada with the word "Conservative" in their official name is not notable enough to merit a category on Wikipedia. The category as it exists now is confusing, as one could find it and assume that it is a category for political parties in Canada that have a conservative ideology, which it is not. For example, this category could not include the Reform Party of Canada, a major conservative political party in Canada in the 1990s.

Additionally, as User:Saforrest pointed out on the Category talk:Conservative Parties of Canada page, should we also have categories for political parties in Canada that have the word "Bloc" or "Democratic" in their name? I feel this category should be deleted for the above reasons. Kurieeto 02:37, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, I don't think any country in existence has so many political parties that they need to be subcategorized beyond 'parties in '. Especially since subcatting them would tend towards POV. Radiant_* 07:21, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * What about replacing it with Category:Political parties subscribing to conservatism policy in Canada? 132.205.45.148 19:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see a slanted POV, as it does not ascribe any political leanings to the included parties, for people to argue the objectivity about calling a party conservative or not. 132.205.45.148 19:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep (or rename as proposed by 132.205.45.148): The category is relevant and big enough to live on its own, and I don’t think the POV issue will kill us. However, I don’t know much about the subject, so there’s a chance to convince me to abstain. Sebastian (talk) 06:56, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
 * Delete. As Radiant! mentioned, it seems to be unnecessary subcategorization. --NormanEinstein 03:23, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

1988 French presidential election

Presidential elections were held in France on 24 April and 8 May 1988.

In 1981, the Socialist Party leader, François Mitterrand, was elected President of France and the Left won the legislative election. However, in 1986, the right regained a parliamentary majority. President Mitterrand was forced to "cohabit" with a conservative cabinet led by the RPR leader Jacques Chirac. Chirac took responsibility for domestic policy while the President focused on his "reserved domain" – foreign affairs and defense policy. Moreover, several other prominent candidates opposed the two heads of the executive.

Chirac's cabinet advocated liberal-conservative policies, in abolishing the solidarity tax on wealth and selling some public companies. It was faced with opposition from social movements, supported by President Mitterrand.

Meanwhile, the leadership of Chirac over the right was challenged by the former UDF Prime Minister Raymond Barre. Barre gained some popularity by condemning the principle of the "cohabitation", claiming that it is incompatible with the "spirit of the Fifth Republic". He appeared as an alternative to the executive duo. In January 1988, when he announced his candidacy, Chirac was credited with 19.5% in the first round by SOFRES polls institute, against 23% for Barre. But, from the start of February, Chirac benefited from the internal divisions in the UDF, and took the lead among the right-wing candidates.

On the left, the identity of the Socialist candidate was uncertain. Mitterrand said he was not sure he would run, and meanwhile, his internal rival Michel Rocard campaigned for the nomination. The favourite to win the election according to the polls, the incumbent president announced his candidacy at the end of March. He wrote an open letter to the French, where he proposed a moderate programme ("neither nationalisations, nor privatizations") and advocated a "united France" against "the appropriation of the state by a clan", targeting Chirac and the RPR.

He benefited from the decline of the French Communist Party, represented by André Lajoinie. Lajoinie was faced with competition for the far-left vote by a "reforming Communist", Pierre Juquin and a Trotskyist, Arlette Laguiller. Meanwhile, the Ecologist Antoine Waechter refused to ally the Greens with either the left or the right. On the far-right, the National Front leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, tried to confirm the FN's good result in the previous legislative election.

The French economy shrugging off the early 1980s recession with 4% growth that year put the economy off the minds of voters as well as popular social programs being implemented, both of which gave Mitterrand the economic argument to achieve a second term despite the fallback in the last legislative election that caused cohabitation.

Results
The second round consisted of a competition between the two heads of the executive power, but the first was marked by the unexpectedly high vote for the National Front, and a poor result for the Communist Party. Barre endorsed Chirac.

The TV debate between the two finalists, and protagonists of the "cohabitation", was very tense. Mitterrand wanted to show his ascendancy in naming his challenger "Mr Prime Minister". Chirac answered: "Here, you are not President, and I am not Prime Minister. We are two equal candidates. You will allow that I call you Mr Mitterrand". Mitterrand replied: "You are absolutely right, Mr Prime Minister". Besides, the two candidates clashed about their attitude to the September 1986 terrorist attacks.

François Mitterrand was re-elected President of France. Jacques Chirac resigned from the head of the cabinet. Michel Rocard succeeded him, then the Socialist Party obtained a relative parliamentary majority, President Mitterrand having dissolved the National Assembly. Chirac became president after winning the 1995 elections.

Chicoma Mountain

Chicoma Mountain (also spelled Tschicoma or Tchicoma) is the highest point in the Jemez Mountains, a prominent mountain range in the U.S. State of New Mexico. The tree line in this area is exceptionally high, and the mountain is forested almost all the way to its summit which is conspicuous from the towns of Los Alamos, Santa Fe, and Española and other areas in the valley of the Rio Grande in northern New Mexico. Like the rest of the Jemez, it is of volcanic origin; it lies on the northeast rim of the Valles Caldera, one of the best examples of a caldera in the United States.

The mountain is sacred to many of the Puebloan peoples of New Mexico, who traditionally regarded it as the "center of all." Much of it lies within the territory of the Santa Clara Pueblo. Access by hikers, hunters, and others, is correspondingly limited, although the summit can be reached via public lands on the north side. The Puye Cliff Dwellings in Santa Clara Canyon are an archaeological site of some significance; however, the cliff dwellings are not near Chicoma. Puye Cliff Dwellings are accessible via NM 30 to NM 5, about 30 minutes south of Chicoma Mountain. The site is located on the pueblo's land on the east side of the mountain, and are sometimes open to the public for a fee.

British Coal

The British Coal Corporation was a nationalised corporation responsible for the mining of coal in the United Kingdom from 1987 until it was effectively dissolved in 1997. The corporation was created by renaming its predecessor, the National Coal Board (NCB).

History
The (c. 3) changed the name of the National Coal Board (NCB) to the British Coal Corporation. With the passing of the Coal Industry Act 1994, the 16th and last Coal Industry Act, the industry-wide administrative functions of British Coal were transferred to the new Coal Authority from 31 October 1994.

All economic assets were privatised. The English mining operations were merged with RJB Mining to form UK Coal, a monopoly. British Coal continued as a separate organisation until 31 December 1997, after which it was run as a residual legal entity by staff within the Coal Directorate of the Department of Trade and Industry, eventually being dissolved on 27 March 2004.

Template talk:Infobox medical condition (old)

Template-protected edit request on 21 April 2017
The page Thrombocytopenia starts with a plain wikilink to the category Category:Pages with Infobox medical condition using multiple parameters for one. I presume that you actually want to add the article to that category, and so the colon at the start of the wikilink in this template's code should be removed.

Consensus here has depreciated this template, in favour of template:Infobox medical condition (new) in combination with template:medical resources. Please add if deemed appropriate. Little pob (talk) 12:21, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * What is the transition process? How do I actually replace it with the new one? Parameter-replacements? -DePiep (talk) 19:35, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Last I read a bot was being proposed to automate the transition to the new infobox? However, the deprecated tag is for the template page, not the infobox itself. It may have been clearer if I had provided the WL to Template:Deprecated_template also, as it has an example at the top. Little pob (talk) 07:35, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Updating is going to be a slow and gradual process. I have done 500 or so.
 * We have a tool that speeds up the conversion but it is still manual. More work is required before it can be automated.

I think marking a template as deprecated while it's still in use on 6500 pages would taint too many pages for too long., some kind of comment on the doc page indicating its deprecated state and where to find the new preferred template seems more appropriate at this stage. Regards, Cabayi (talk) 09:55, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Added to /doc. Template must be added to the documentation page, and so will not appear in mainspace. It does not alter any working of the tempalte, it's just documentation text.

Please use HTTPS for the Patient UK (patient.info) link
The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the template use HTTPS when generating links to Patient UK. (As a side note, a previous comment states that the template is deprecated; however, it appears that there are still many pages on which the template is used.) In particular, it appears that URLs of the form  generate a 301 Moved Permanently redirect to   which in some cases is followed by a subsequent 301 redirect to another HTTPS URL. For example, http://patient.info/doctor/Body-Dysmorphic-Disorder-(BDD) generates a 301 redirect to https://patient.info/doctor/Body-Dysmorphic-Disorder-(BDD) which then generates a 301 redirect to https://patient.info/doctor/body-dysmorphic-disorder-pro. In the template, please change  to   instead. Thanks. --Elegie (talk) 10:33, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Possible fix for broken eMedicine search link
At the current time, the template has the ability to generate a link for doing a search on eMedicine. If the search query is, for example, the URL for the search link would be http://search.medscape.com/emedicine-search?queryText=infection. However, it appears that search URLs of this format are broken; accessing such a URL generates a series of redirects that eventually lead to the URL  on the Medscape site and no search results are shown. It appears that it is possible to do a search on the Medscape site by using the URL https://search.medscape.com/search/?q=XXXX where XXXX is the search query term(s), though it is not clear as to whether all of the search results are specific to eMedicine. Would it be useful to change the template to use this URL format for doing eMedicine searches? --Elegie (talk) 11:18, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Error in template
It seems that the template creates the following error for all instances now: Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:I18n/date' not found.
