Untitled
I have added an NPOV notice because of some of the language used in this article. Terms such as, meager, ethnic Spanish-European élite minority, and plundered, do not denote a neutral point of view.

--Mb1000 01:29, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I removed meager because it is largely untrue — royalites in a standard U.S. contract between the producing company and the owner of mineral rights in a private setting (fee simple or mineral deed holder) calls for a 12.5% royalty. It is my understanding that this is pretty much standard generally.  "Meager" is in the eye of the beholder, and in this case, probably not literaly true, although admittedly the Bolivian masses could be expected to care very little about how things are done elsewhere.  We should also keep in mind that the proper term for the development of natual resources, partcularly hydrocarbon reserves, is exploitation, which sounds completely POV as well, even when it is not, in this context.  Somehow I contemplate that what will happen now will eventually be attempts to exploit the gas by a governmental corporation which will result in less overall revenue than the 18% royalty from private businesses would have, unless there are some really great and really patriotic Bolivian petroleum engineers, a topic of which I have no knowledge.

 * Not necessarily. A state-owned corporation would still exploit the gas in cooperation with foreign enterprises. This is the way it is done in many countries in the ME and Venezuela. The important thing is that the state enterprise can demand better terms. -- Viajero | Talk 11:53, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Removing recent events from the lead
Because the body of the article only includes information up to 2005, I've removed anything that took place after 2005 from the lead. The lead is a summary of the body. Any new information should first be added to the body of the article (with the support of reliable sources) before the lead is changed. Red Rock Canyon (talk) 15:14, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Bolivian spokesman before the ICJ - NPOV
"Leaving behind animosity" is a subjective declaration. If it is a quote he made, then it needs to be cited as a quote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eshaparvathi (talk • contribs) 15:27, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

OAS / CEPR / MIT
MIT specifically states that they want it clarified that this study was independent of MIT, that it should be referred to as a CEPR study and that MIT does not endorse it. MIT says that "while they are employees" the CEPR study they did was as independent contractors for CEPR. That is very specifically saying MIT does not want their name on this.

The information about the "MIT" study, besides being wrong isn't really relevant to this page. That issue is better addressed on pages specific to the elections. Laella (talk) 10:13, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Electric pen

Thomas Edison's electric pen, part of a complete outfit for duplicating handwritten documents and drawings, was the first relatively safe electric-motor-driven office appliance produced and sold in the United States.

Development
Edison recognized the possible demand for a high-speed copying device after observing the incredible amount of document duplication required of merchants, lawyers, insurance companies, and those of similar occupations. To satisfy this demand, Edison invented the electric pen, which uses a perforating function inspired by the printing telegraph. Edison and his associate Charles Batchelor observed that as this device punctured the paper, a mark was left underneath by its chemical solution. Edison took advantage of this property and built the electric pen around it. The development of the electric pen took place in the summer of 1875. US patent 180,857 for autographic printing was issued to Thomas Edison in 1876, covering the pen, the duplication press, and accessories.

Design and use
The electric pen was the key component of a complete duplicating system, which included the pen, a cast-iron holder with a wooden insert, a wet cell battery on a cast-iron stand, and a cast-iron flatbed duplicating press with an ink roller. All the cast-iron parts were black japanned, with gold striping or decoration. The hand-held electric pen was powered by a wet cell battery, which was wired to an electric motor mounted on top of a pen-like shaft. According to the manual, the motor drove a reciprocating needle that could make 50 punctures per second or 3,000 per minute. The user was instructed to place the stencil on firm blotting paper on a flat surface, then use the pen to write or draw naturally to form words and designs as a series of minute perforations in the stencil.

Once the stencil was prepared, it was placed in the flatbed duplicating press with a blank sheet of paper below. An inked roller was passed over the stencil, leaving an impression of the image on the paper. Edison boasted that over 5,000 copies could be made from one stencil.

Marketing
Edison’s main target audience included firms that depended on duplicating documents to run their business. To drive demand, Edison advertised in a circular that was written by the pen itself, in which the pen was called “the “Electro-Autographic Press” and was said to be “the only process yet invented whereby an unlimited number of impressions can be taken with rapidity from ordinary manuscript.” Another advertisement made by the pen reads “Like Kissing--Every Succeeding Impression is as Good as the First--Endorsed By Every One Who Has Tried It!--Only a Gentle Pressure Used.” with the words floating around an embracing couple.

Reception
Aside from companies, the electric pen was also marketed to the general public. Other uses for the invention were personal letters, pamphlets, music, contracts, circulars, and architectural and mechanical drawings, among other types of documents. In late 1875, the pen was at first sold only in the East Coast of the United States at the starting price of $30. It was further spread to the Midwest, British Columbia, and England after its rise in popularity when more than 150 pens were being sold monthly. The market continued to expand to Cuba and South America, with Europe and Asia being added by 1877. However, by 1880, the business for the electric pen started to decline when other inventions that were more efficient soon overtook Edison’s product in the market, causing it to eventually fall into obscurity. It is said that roughly 60,000 pens were sold throughout its commercial lifespan in total; however, this number is likely to be made up by Edison to give the product more publicity.

Battery operation
The major drawback to Edison’s electric pen was its wet cell battery, which had to be taken care of and maintained by experienced telegraphists. Due to its messy nature, it was important for Edison to incorporate batteries that were more acceptable to clerks who had to take care of the pen and its underlying machinery. Otherwise, the bankers and insurance people may never take interest in it, as said by Mullarkey, an ex-telegraph operator and New York agent for Edison.

Competition
The need for batteries in the electric pen ultimately caused its steady decline, as mechanical pens that did not require batteries to operate took over the market by 1880. These pens, along with other cheaper and simpler stencil-making technologies quickly became more popular and widely used, until all were eventually overtaken by the typewriter by the late 1880s.

Mimeograph
Edison started selling the rights to manufacture and market the pens as early as the end of 1876, but it was not until the mid-1880s that the A.B. Dick Company finally ended up with the rights and patent to the invention. The Chicago manufacturer went on to create the mimeograph, an electric pen spin-off marketed specifically as "Edison’s Mimeograph" under his permission. Unlike the electric pen, the mimeograph sold with relative success, and the A.B. Dick Company remained in business until 2004.

Tattoo industry
After its usefulness as a writing implement had ended, the electric pen was adapted to fulfill an entirely different role. In 1891, a New York City tattoo artist Samuel O’Reilly repurposed the electric pen’s design to be used as the first electric tattoo needle. What was previously done by hand was now done much faster thanks to this revolutionary device. Around this time, tattoos started to rise as a cultural phenomenon thanks to their popularity among European nobility. O’Reilly took advantage of this and produced an electric tattoo needle to give him the edge in this new market. O’Reilly enjoyed considerable success until his abrupt death in 1908. Charles Wagner, O’Reilly’s apprentice, inherited the business from his master.

Modern value
An October 2015 episode of History program American Pickers finds a European version Electric Pen in a private Wisconsin collection of early electric devices. The owner says recent auctions have seen other examples sell for between $15,000 and $20,000 USD This particular Electric Pen includes a rare battery box. The owner sells the Pen to the Pickers for $12,000, which they expect to resell at a higher price.

Devon, Alberta

Devon is a town in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region of Alberta, Canada. It is approximately 26 km southwest of Edmonton, the provincial capital, along the southern bank of the North Saskatchewan River.

History
Devon owes its existence to one of the largest oil discoveries in the world. On February 13, 1947, the Imperial Leduc No. 1 well struck oil, and the new town of Devon was constructed shortly thereafter by Imperial Oil to accommodate its workers. The company was determined that the town would be well-planned, and Devon holds the distinction of being the first Canadian community to be approved by a regional planning commission. The oil industry remains a major player in the town's business sector, though the economy has diversified to include tourism, manufacturing, and research.

Devon is named after the Devonian formation (the strata tapped in the Leduc No. 1 oil well), which in turn is named for the county of Devon in England.

Climate
Devon boasts a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen: Dfb), slightly cooler than Edmonton. On average at 3.6 days a year the temperature is above 30 C days above 35 C do not always occur, but on average four years in a decade. Days with temperatures below -30 C occur every year on average 8.8 nights. In about 58.4% of the days of a year the temperature can reach a value less than or equal to the freezing temperature. Frost free will go from the beginning of June until the first week of September, usually. It corresponds in average to 96 days.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Devon had a population of 6,545 living in 2,496 of its 2,588 total private dwellings, a change of NaN% from its 2016 population of 6,578. With a land area of 14.26 km2, it had a population density of in 2021.

In the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Devon recorded a population of 6,578 living in 2,415 of its 2,493 total private dwellings, a NaN% change from its 2011 population of 6,515. With a land area of 14.3 km2, it had a population density of in 2016.

The population of the Town of Devon according to its 2014 municipal census is 6,650, a NaN% change from its 2009 municipal census population of 6,534.

Economy
The Town of Devon was a member of the Leduc-Nisku Economic Development Association, an economic development partnership that markets Alberta's International Region in proximity to the Edmonton International Airport.

Amenities
Devon is amply served by schools, community services such as the Devon General Hospital, and recreational facilities. It is 20 km from the Edmonton International Airport, and is close to major rail routes and highways. It is located close to a motor sports park, a bird sanctuary, the University of Alberta Botanic Garden, and a number of other attractions to residents and visitors. Devon and area is popular with cyclists, as it has a good network of paved country roads, as well as unpaved mountain bike trails, and has hosted high level cycling events such as Canada's 2010 National Road Championships.

Schools

 * Devon Christian School
 * Holy Spirit Catholic School
 * John Maland High School
 * Riverview Middle School
 * Robina Baker Elementary

Miscellaneous
Devon is the sister city to Grimma, Germany. in 2008, a group of students and dignitaries from Devon travelled to Grimma to perform in an international music festival. In 2010, members of the Grimma Jugendblasorchester (Youth Orchestra) travelled to Devon to perform and to tour Alberta.

Games 100

The Games 100 is an annual feature of Games magazine, a United States magazine devoted to games and puzzles. The Games 100 first appeared in the November/December 1980 issue as an alphabetic list of the 100 games preferred by the editors of the magazine. In 1981, Games introduced The Games 100 Contest, which involved identifying pieces from games listed in the Games 100, with the grand prize being more than half of the games on that list. Games continues to publish this list as "The Buyers Guide to Games", broken out into "The Traditional Games 100" and "The Electronic Games 100".

Lists are published in either the November or December issue. Through 1994, the lists for a year were published at the end of that year. Starting in 1995, lists are released at the end of the year prior to the year of the list. (This means that there was no list for 1995. There was also no list for 1990, because Games was temporarily out of publication during the period when the list would have been published.)  There are several categories for which "best" games are determined.

The winner of the historical category for approximately the last ten years has been determined by one individual, Walt O'Hara, who runs the Historicon miniatures convention.

Hall of Fame
Part of the Buyer's Guide includes a hall of fame for "games that have met or exceeded the highest standards of quality and play value and have been continuously in production for at least 10 years; i.e., classics."

This Hall of Fame includes:
 * Acquire
 * Apples to Apples
 * Axis & Allies
 * Blockhead!
 * Bridgette
 * Civilization
 * Cluedo (Clue)
 * Diplomacy
 * Dungeons & Dragons
 * Magic: The Gathering (inducted in the 2004 Buyer's Guide )
 * Mille Bornes (inducted in the 1991 Games 100 )
 * Monopoly
 * Othello
 * Pente (inducted in the 1991 Games 100 )
 * Risk
 * Scrabble Crossword Game
 * The Settlers of Catan (inducted in the 2006 Buyer's Guide )
 * Sorry!
 * Stratego
 * Taboo (inducted in the 2001 Buyer's Guide )
 * TriBond (inducted in the 2001 Buyer's Guide )
 * Trivial Pursuit
 * Twister (inducted in the 1991 Games 100 )
 * TwixT (not included in the 1999 and 2000 Buyer's Guides due to temporary discontinuance of production)

Talk:David Jason

June 2005
I am removing the "Kt" from his full name since according to the Knight Bachelor page this is incorect. It will now read Sir David Jason OBE. Dowew 01:35, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Should not "Sir" also be removed or the correct name be substuted? The knighthood was conferred on David White who then became Sir David White OBE. David Jason is a professional name used by the actor Sir David White and not a name used by HM The Queen when she bestowed the honour.Is it not a breach of etiquette to refer to him this way?MoonRaker 01:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Points of view
I agree David Jason is "highly regarded" and "admired" (he's my favourite by far!), but isn't this a point of view (despite it probably being everyone's!)?

Sources, sources
Anyone got a copy of our man’s (2013) autobiography, David Jason: My Life (Random House)? And fancy checking out a couple of things there?

The TV.com piece (?2012; Hughes, Heather. "David Jason". TV.com. Retrieved 13 June 2012.) seems not a reliable source - assuming we’re right to say it’s an "urban myth" tht "he chose his stage surname, Jason, as a tribute to his twin brother who died at birth," and tht "David Jason himself has denied this." (TV.com simply says, under Trivia, "David chose his stage surname, Jason, as a tribute to his twin brother who died at birth.")

What’s really daft is tht (at present) our article cites the TV.com piece as source for saying it’s an urban myth. (Our statement tht "David Jason himself has denied" the story has no citation.)

So a bit of sorting out seems needed. Presumably the autobiography is the place to look.

Cleaning CN tag on "David Jason Trust"
A search for "David Jason Trust" yields mostly listicles that seem to have copied the charity name from this Wiki article. The oldest result is a blog post from 2011 which does not cite a source. The Wales Online article from 2013 cited in this Wiki entry is all about the event and aftermath which allegedly inspired the creation of the charity, and it makes no mention of the David Jason Trust or any charity. In light of all this, as well as age of this tag (at least 9 years), and the BLP status of this article, I am removing the mention of the charity from the article. Please restore it if you have found a source for this charity's existence! TomFitz77 (talk) 07:30, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

 * If you'd added more narrative, I might have changed my vote. But you just added a lot of scores. In my opinion, that makes the article even less useful.

Talk:Games 100

Untitled
Hi all. Article is started ... I think it would be interesting if we found the winners for each year and put them in a table. Monkeyman 01:36, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've fleshed out this article quite a bit. Not sure if someone's going to come along and decide it doesn't meet notability requirements, but I tried to make the referencing clear at least.

As far as the table goes, the way Games handles categories and years doesn't lend itself well to using a table. I used an approach similar to what I've seen other awards pages use. --Foggy Brume (talk) 23:55, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

1993 award for Civilization
Lacking the actual issue corresponding to this award I'm not 100% sure which version of the game was awarded. The date is rather mysterious as no version of Civilization that I know of was released in 1992, 1993, or 1994, but presumably we can ignore everything 1995 and beyond. This leaves us with a few options. The game could be: Of these three I think it is most likely that the award was for one of the 1991 games because they are closer to the date of the award, and of those two, I think it's more likely that Civilization (video game) is the award winner since its name is a better match. All of this is just speculation, though, and needs to be verified by a proper source (namely the actual magazine issue). -Thibbs (talk) 15:56, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Civilization (board game) - the 1980 board game
 * Civilization (video game) - the 1991 video game
 * Advanced Civilization - the 1991 expansion to the 1980 board game

 * I think this url may resolve the question. Apparently in 1993 there were a number of nominees (including the 1981-era Axis and Allies) that were not from that year. Furthermore, the 1980 board game was definitely at least a nominee in 1993 according to that link (boardgamegeek). So given this info I'll relink that title to the article on the 1980 board game. A proper ref is still needed here. -Thibbs (talk) 12:00, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

User talk:Ziddy

Hi Ziddy, {{welcome}} to wikipedia and thank you for contributing, although I'm not sure your contribution FlyFF is going to survive. Actually the article has 2 problems, one is that it doesn't say how famous and important the game is, and for internet things Vfd voters demand a lot of importance. But looking at the 144,000 google hits, it seems like an incredibly popular game, with all kinds of Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Thai websites talking about it... maybe the voters didn't take much time to check it out. I'll nag them a bit.

The other thing is that it's a review: your personal opinions. That's why people are saying it's POV and advertising. It will need to be rewritten in a more boring formal style if it survives. Kappa 01:39, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Mariah Carey singles discography

Other promo singles
Could somebody help add information of other promo singles. They used to be on the main discography things like "O Holy Night" and "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" but all of it was removed. There was atleast 15. Jayy008 (talk) 17:59, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Featured singles
Does anybody know if Mariah Carey was features on any other songs? I will do some research as well Jayy008 (talk) 02:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I own single Babyface feat. Mariah Carey - Everytime I Close My Eyes from his album The Day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Every_Time_I_Close_My_Eyes but on Mariah's discography its missing... Yenik — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.113.79.6 (talk) 17:17, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Semi-Protection
Why isn't this page semi-protected. When this was part of the one page Mariah Carey discography it was semi, because of the constant vandalism and numerical sales inflations. I believe that both the single and album discography should be semi-protected, to be safe from future sales and certification deflation & inflations.--Petergriffin9901 (talk) 01:01, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Interwiki
I think that all interwiki links (except hr) should be removed from this article and added to Mariah Carey discography, because on every other wikipedia both singles and albums are in one article.--SveroH (talk) 21:33, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

What does Madonna or Whitney have to do with this article?
What do Madonna and Whitney Houston have to do with the introduction stating " Mariah Carey has sold 17,172,000 physical singles and 11,120,000 digital tracks in the United States according to Nielson SoundScan leading the tally against Madonna and Whitney Houston..." If this is the case, then we should add "She is behind Madonna (37), The Beatles (34), Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder (28) for having the most Top 10 singles in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart." This sounds fair, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.155.55 (talk) 16:30, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

 * If you believe so, go to Madonna's article and write she holds the tally for most top 10 hits, ahead of Mariah Carey, The Beatles and Stevie Wonder.-- Peter Griffin  •  Talk   10:32, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Petergriffin, I am not a Madonna fan. I only want to see things treated FAIR here. It's not like this is looking like we're trying to show that she is ahead of Whitney or Madonna or Celine. If it's mentioned that she is in 5th place among artists with most Top 10 singles, then I believe it's noteworthy to say who are (Madonna, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Steview Wonder) ahead of her, just as it's put that The Beatles are ahead of her in terms of number 1 singles in the Hot 100. We don't wanna sound like it's all FANCRUFT, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.155.55 (talk) 03:37, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Peter, you are being so illogical. Can you explain why it is necessary to compare her chart record with those of Whitne Houston or Madonna in the lead? Does her chart record not enough to speak for itself? Do you need to mention other female artists' names just to prove Mariah is an accomplished artist? Diphosphate8 (talk) 03:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I have removed any mention of other artist? in the lead...lead should only contain info mentioned in article they are not. Now that i look closer it needs to be rewritten as there is mention of 10 different artist in this lead. I will ask i friend that does FA list to help us here. Dont worry Peter your not alone here!!! LOL Moxy (talk) 03:13, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Let me explain once more. Now first, let any idea of favoring Mariah or Celine free from your minds, as I enjoy all talented female vocalists. Next, I understand if its Madonnas paghe and someone writes "Madonna is behind Mariah or Celine" as it is her page, so why mention it. But in her own page, you can mention artists shes ahead of. For example, if you want it makes sense to me to write in Madonnas article that she has more tope 10s than any other female, topping Mariah and janet, or something of teh sort.-- Peter Griffin  •  Talk   05:48, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * O well no edit war for me..i had fixed it up but he reverted it ..o well when he as more experience he will understand there no need to mention them at all. i will however not let this happen on main article as its FA level. Moxy (talk) 05:50, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Again, Peter, you are being illogical. Browse up and read everything what is said. What is the reason why you need to mention Whitney Houston or Madonna in Mariah's Nielsen Soundscan sales (that only started tracking sales in 1991) when YOU know the fact that Whitney and Madonna started their career 7 years before Nielsen Soundscan was even established. Whitney released 3 huge albums before while Madonna released 5 of her biggest selling albums before 1991. Are you even aware of this? Yet you don't wanna put this line "Mariah is the 5th among artists with most Top 10 singles (behind Madonna, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder). Are you insecure of Madonna or Whitney's success? Ikabod08 (talk) 22:56, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm really not going to have a whole discussion/edit war over names, remove the names or keep them I don't care. Whats important to me are her sales/certifications, not the mention of Madonna.-- Peter Griffin  •  Talk   00:03, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok the introduction here is littered with random trivial facts from billboard. Which is fine but some of them need to be pruned out. The article should mention that Carey is one of the best selling females. Comparing to Whitney Houston and Madonna is correct because effectively they are her competition and rivals. However it should not be given an overemphasis. The introduction should be re-written to reflectg recording career over time. Currently (especially at the end) it seems to be a list of achievements. Regards, Lil-unique1 (talk) 00:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Break - comments from independent editor
 * Also the first sentance is not really appropriately written. It should use carey's full name, Mariah Carey.

Exactly, all her Billboard achievements have been littered here in the lead which need to be FIXED at once. If you're a Mariah fan, you may like to read it but for a regular Wikipedia reader, this is becoming so tiring as all you here is Billboard, Billboard and Billboard as if Mariah is known only for her accomplishment in the US charts, yet with so little mention of the worldwide success of her singles. Ikabod08 (talk) 20:09, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

So MANY artists mentioned in the lead!
How come this has not been fixed yet? I still see names that are not even related to Mariah's accomplishments, such as The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elvis Presley, Elton John, Whitney Houston, The Black Eyed Peas, Janet Jackson). Can't her achievements stand alone that we need to emphasis other recording artists? Mariah is successful in her own right. We do not need to mention others here. Wikipedia is not a chart race and it is supposed to be NEUTRAL. Diphosphate8 (talk) 23:39, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

 * And may I add that since you like putting ALL Mariah's achievements in Billboard, it is better to put In her 20 years in the music business, Mariah is ranked #6 over-all on the "Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists",making her the 2nd most successful female artist in the history of the chart. This is to show the neutrality of this article, since you mentioned she leads the tally in the Nielsen Soundscan era ahead of Whitney and Madonna. Diphosphate8 (talk) 23:46, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Top-selling female artist of all time?
Even this singles discography of Mariah Carey is starting to look like a FANCRUFT. This has been discussed yet in her main page regarding the claim of "best selling female artist of all-time" sourced from fan websites, without a reliable source to back it up. The lead is again full of Billboard craps without even mention of Mariah being ranked #6 among Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists, which is of course noteworthy to mention, even beating out some senior acts (e.g., Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston) though there's no need to mention their names as this article is about Mariah. Ikabod08 (talk) 20:04, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Merged cells — merged songs??
I've just made some changes that I thought would improve the tables. One of these edits was to separate cells that had been merged. "Without You" and "Never Forget You" had been merged in both US columns, "Breakdown" and "My All" had been merged in the US R&B column, "Crybaby" and "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)" shared a cell in the Hot 100, and "Shake It Off" and "Get Your Number" had been merged in the UK column. I split them all to improve readability.

Then, while checking the Swiss peaks against the reference, I noticed two things:
 * 1) I hadn't actually split all the merged cells the way I thought I had; I actually missed several of them; and
 * 2) One of the pairs I missed was "Never Too Far" and "Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica)", which are paired not only in the Swiss column, but on four other charts. The Swiss ref shows this as "Never Too Far / Don't Stop" at 65, so I realize I may have messed things up with my clever splitting.

Are these A-side/B-side pairs? Or what's going on here? If they're rated together on one chart, shouldn't they be combined on all the charts? And if so, they should be one line in our tables. I'm sorry I don't know about this, and sorry if I've mucked things up by trying to make things clearer. Please let me know what to do about these pairs (or undo my changes yourself). Sorry for the muddle. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 13:36, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Hey John. SO I don't actually fully understand what you did (though in norm, it looks basically the same). I am not sure if they were A or B sides, what I can tell you is I believe its simply coincidental that they reached a few of the same positions throughout the world.-- Peter Griffin  •  Talk   15:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Angels Cry was cancelled in the UK? I thought it just stalled at #81. But then again Jamie did tell me that it was picking up in Airplay and started doing well but then got taken down :(.-- Peter Griffin  •  Talk2Me   00:18, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

New Zealand chart info
The table correctly shows that Mariah has had seven number ones in New Zealand, but the article says that 'Heartbreaker' became her sixth number one in New Zealand. It was indeed her seventh, so can this please be amended. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.152.88.45 (talk) 16:30, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Promo singles section
...is a mess.

 * Most of the songs listed there weren't released as promo singles, but were album cuts that charted due to airplay.
 * Some promo singles are completely missing from the page (ie. Lead The Way, Do You Know Where You're Going To)
 * Some promo singles (for some reason) are listed in the main singles section (ie. Underneath The Stars, U Like This)
 * "So Lonely" was released credited to "Twista featuring Mariah Carey", not "Mariah Carey featuring Twista" so it belongs in the "other appearances" section
 * "Right To Dream" WAS released commercially, so it belongs in the main singles section, not the promo section.

Also, "I Know What You Want" should be listed in the "other appearances" section, since it was released as "Busta Rhymes featuring Mariah Carey" and not "Mariah Carey featuring Busta Rhymes". AND Charmbracelet should NOT be listed as the album IKWYW is taken from, since it's not on the standard release. Same for "Never Too Far/Hero Medley" and Greatest Hits. Nathan86 (talk) 05:51, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

"Against All Odds" is listed as #1 in the UK but only under "Other Appearances" when she released the single with Westlife. I thought the song was a duet and if it is how come it isn't on the main singles table? - Jcl32791 (talk) 13:33, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

More charts?
What about adding more charts to the whole discography to give the article a wider outlook of Mariah's chart performance? Most superstarts pages have it and I feel Mariah's could be greatly expanded. I was thinking about something like this.

Mariah Carey's single All I Want For Christmas Is You got no higher than #12 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1994, according to Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles book. Kdm13159 (talk) 03:53, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: See above discussion, it was originally released in 1994. The chart shows how high it got. Same as if it was released xmas 1994, but didn't top chart in 1995, it would still say 1994. WikiVirusC (talk) 22:11, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * This issue is unclear to me. The lead paragraph to the article All I Want for Christmas Is You says, "Written and produced by Carey and Walter Afanasieff, the song was released as the lead single from the album on October 29, 1994 by Columbia Records." But later down, at All I Want for Christmas Is You, it says, "The song was ineligible for inclusion on the Billboard Hot 100 during its original release, because it was not released commercially as a single in any physical format." As of Dec. 5, 1998, Billboard changed its chart policies to allow album cuts not released as singles to hit the Hot 100, but the song didn't hit the chart until the following Christmas season, in the Jan. 8, 2000 issue of Billboard. On that chart, it was listed as "Columbia Album Cut" indicating that it had not been released as a single, and in the same issue, Fred Bronson's Chart Beat column said, "The 1994 recording wasn't eligible until the chart policy changed to allow album tracks on the list." Maybe in 1994 the song was provided to radio stations as a promotional single, but it was not available as a commercial single to the general public. It's clear when "All I Want for Christmas Is You" first hit the Hot 100 (January 8, 2000), but not when it was first available as a single to the (United States) public, whether that was a vinyl, cassette, CD, or digital single. The song might have been released as a single outside the U.S. without being available in the U.S. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:20, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Trams in Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou

The city of Liberec is one of the seven cities in the Czech Republic where tram transport is present. The tram system is conjoined with an interurban tramway branch to Jablonec nad Nisou. It is operated by Dopravní podnik měst Liberce a Jablonce nad Nisou, a.s. The track system is approximately 21.5 km long with the branch between Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou measuring around 13 km.

Narrow-gauge tracks were used since inception of the system in 1898 and a part of the network was decommissioned in the 1960s. A gradual reconstruction of the city line took place in the 1990s, where tracks were reconstructed to standard-gauge railway.

The branch between Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou was out of service since July 2021 to May 2024 for upgrading and regauging to bring the network to an all standard-gauge track. It reopened on May 1 2024.

Early years
On 11 September 1894, the Liberec City Council approved a proposal for the construction of an electric tram line with a.

It was at a time when the only tram operation in the territory of today's Czech Republic was in Prague (Křižík's electric railway at Letná). Construction began in May 1897 and the line was completed three months later. On 25 August 1897, the first line in Liberec was inaugurated.

Separate proposals for a tram connection between Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou appeared, and the initiative was led mainly by the Jablonec Electric Railways, with the Ministry of Railways rejecting the proposals for many years due to the existence of a parallel railway line. The electric tram quickly became the main mode of transport in Liberec, carrying 800,000 passengers in 1898. New lines to Rochlice (1899), to Růžodol I (1904) and Horní Hanychov (1912) were built.

The tram expansion was halted by World War I. Many employees enlisted and passenger operation was reduced significantly. Trams were also used to transport wounded soldiers to the city hospitals.

Interwar period
Meetings took place to introduce three new lines, but no new tracks were built in the end. On 13 December 1924, line numbering was also introduced for the first time. In 1929, the network transported 8 million passengers, however, during the economic crisis the number dropped to 5.4 million and income losses of 1 million crowns had to be solved by placing advertising boards on cars. In 1930s, the line ending in Růžodol was extended by about 700 metres to the Letka restaurant, and in 1934, a connecting line was created from the station to the viaduct.

The signing of the Munich Agreement meant that Liberec was seized and annexed by Nazi Germany. On 8 October 1938, Nazi troops entered the city and tram traffic was interrupted. In turn, Liberec was established as the county town of the Reichsgau Sudetenland.

Socialist era
On 10 March 1949, Dopravní podnik měst Liberce a Jablonce nad Nisou, a.s. was incorporated as the operator connecting tram systems in Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou. The main construction that took place in Liberec tram transport after World War II was the interconnection of the Jablonec and Liberec tram networks in 1955 according to plans that had been in existence since around 1900s.

Construction on the Liberec–Jablonec tramway started in 1947 and the line was finished in 1954 as a single-track railway becoming operational on 1 January 1955. 6MT type trams were used on the line delivered from Česká Lípa. On 31 October 1960, the lines to Rochlice and Růžodol were decommissioned and within three years, all tracks on the lines disappeared. In the 70s, the intercity line to Jablonec was completely reconstructed.

At the end of the 1980s, the need to adjust the track gauge from to  began to appear increasingly important as it was present in all cities of the then Czechoslovakia (except Bratislava which still to this day runs on ).

Recent times
The reconstruction of track gauge did not take place until the 1990s. The reconstruction took place in several stages from 1990 to 1998. On 14 August 1998, the first trams on the 1435 mm gauge were put into operation in Liberec.

After the turn of the millennium, T2 and T3 trams were modernized. Most T2R cars were decommissioned before 2006. After 2006, only a couple of modernized T2R trams remained in operation. Deliveries of Tatra's T3 PLF low-floor variant followed between 2005 and 2007. In 2012, a prototype of the EVO2 tram was put into operation, which remains the only EVO2 in Liberec as of today.

On 17 November 2018, the last two operating Tatra T2 trams in the world, the T2R cars No. 18 and 19, were retired.

On 17 July 2021, trams on the were in regular operation for the last time on the interurban line to Jablonec nad Nisou. The next day, construction work began on the regauging of the section U Lomu – Vratislavice. Operation on the normal gauge line to Vratislavice was resumed on 6 November 2021. Vratislavice - Jablonec section reopened on May 1 2024.

Liberec services
All Liberec services converge at the central tram point, Fügnerova station.

Interurban services
There is one service on the Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou track; line 11. The journey takes around 30 minutes. It was closed for regauging from metre to standard gauge in July 2021 and was reopened in May 2024.

Other similar interurban tramway lines in the Czech Republic include Most–Litvínov, Ostrava–Kyjovice and Brno–Modřice.

Ticketing
Regular Liberec public transport tariffs apply both on Liberec and Jablonec services as all lines are part of the public transport network in Liberec. In the past, there was a zone tariff on the Liberec–Jablonec line and for this reason, conductors were still operating at a time when operation without conductors was already introduced in Liberec and other Czech cities. All tramcars are equipped with ticket vending machines.

James McBride (February 9, 1802 – December 18, 1875) was an American politician, educator, and patriarch of a political family in the state of Oregon. A native of Tennessee, he served in the Oregon Territorial Legislature and as United States Minister to Hawaii, as well as one of the founders of the Oregon Republican Party. Two of his sons served in the United States Congress, while a third served on the Oregon Supreme Court.

James McBride was born near present-day Nashville, Tennessee, on February 9, 1802. He was educated in Nashville and then moved to Missouri where he married Mahala Miller in Springfield on June 20, 1830. Together they had fourteen children. James practiced medicine there before the family immigrated to Oregon Country in 1846 settling near Lafayette, Oregon. In Oregon he taught school, practiced medicine, farmed, and preached.

Politics
In 1850, he was elected to the Territorial Council, the upper chamber of the Oregon Territorial Legislature. He was later named Oregon Territory's first school superintendent.

In 1863, McBride was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln as Minister to the Kingdom of Hawaii. During his time in that position he began the negotiations with Russia for the purchase of Alaska, and then later was involved in settling the Beresford Incident with Great Britain. He served until 1866, retired from government service in 1867 and settled at St. Helens, Oregon.

Two of McBride's sons served in the United States Congress representing Oregon: George W. McBride served as a Senator and John R. McBride served as a Representative. Another son, Thomas A. McBride, was chief justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, and a daughter, Louisa, married Oregon's third governor, George L. Woods.
