Talk:Shoobie

Removed section
I removed the following text, which had no sources listed for it and was likely original research. This could be put back if sources are found verifying it: "Typical "shoobie" behavior is said to include:
 * Driving carelessly or recklessly, with little regard for local traffic regulations.
 * Having their children stand in parking spaces while they turn their car around.
 * Boorish, loud conduct in public areas.
 * Standing out in the middle of the street and blocking traffic.
 * Going through the exact change lane at the toll bridges -- without actually possessing exact change.
 * Wearing no shirt or shoes in the supermarket.
 * Quickly acquiring a full-body sunburn.
 * At times, public urination or vomiting.
 * Littering on the beach.
 * Arguing with beach taggers.
 * Sitting at the beach and talking on the cell phone, usually about real estate and property values.
 * Generally crowding the stores and restaurants, making life difficult for year-round residents.
 * Not knowing what the word "shoobie" means.
 * Wearing socks with sandals.
 * Wearing shoes on the beach.
 * Arguing that "they do live here."
 * Driving a car with an out-of-state license plate.
 * Wearing a t-shirt with the name of the same beach that you are visiting".

 * Definitional list reinstated as at least some of these descriptions are commonplaces among various sources. (See external links for examples.)  Particular descriptions with POV inaccuracies should be identified on a case-by-case basis rather than summarily deleted.  That said, additional sourcing would aid this entry.

Re: Removed section
Please stop deleting that section. I put a statement that it is not factual, but a list of characteristics. Some of those attributes may not be verifiable by the scientific method, but accepted as common knowledge from the collective unconscious.

Derivation and Revenue
My family goes back over 100 year in Atlantic City, NJ... so we know a thing or two about shoobies. There are a few things in the article that I would suggest editing. If you need a citation for this, I'll write a blog entry about my grandparents (see below) and you can cite that.

1) The Shoe BEAch is one valid potential origin. Another is SHOE Boxer... "shoob".

2) The origin of the term is actually a little earlier: in the 1920's and 1930's, there was a train from Camden, NJ to Atlantic City. Day trippers from Philadelphia... mostly people who could not afford to stay the night... would take the ferry to the train and then spend the day out of the heat of the city.  In fact, the train had a better price on multi-trip tickets and these tickets were then shared by groups of people, with one person in the group using it on a given weekend.  (Yes, even those few pennies saved were important.)  Because these people were pretty poor, they economized by bringing everything they needed rather than paying inflated resort prices.  My grandparents ("the Philly side of the family") met on one such trip in 1929 and spent the next 80 years together.

3) Shoobies are not a "mixed blessing". The term is derogatory specifically because true shoobies do not bring revenue.  Think about it: if a day tripper brings "everything he needs in a shoe box including food," then he buys nothing from the beach community.  Therefore, a shoobie draws on the resources of the community (e.g., the local taxes pay for lifeguards and beach cleaning) and adds to traffic/crowding, while contributing no economic benefits.  This draw on local resources has been ameliorated only in the last few decades through beach fees/tags and by an increase in the number of people staying overnight.  Thus, originally a shoobie is "not like a tourist at any resort" because tourists contribute to the local economy, while shoobies do not.

The Inner Circle (Boyle novel)

The Inner Circle is a novel by T. C. Boyle first published in 2004 about the development of sexology in the United States and about Alfred Kinsey's rise to fame during the late 1940s and early 1950s as seen through the eyes of one of his loyal assistants.

This assistant, however, John Milk, is a fictional character rather than a historical person. Boyle makes it unmistakably clear in the "Author’s Note" that The Inner Circle "is a work of fiction, and [that] all characters and situations have been invented, with the exception of the historical figures of Alfred C. Kinsey and his wife, Clara McMillen.

Plot introduction
The Inner Circle revolves around the tensions that are bound to arise if a small group of people deliberately abandons the traditional moral values with which they were raised in favour of an unconventional outlook on love, marriage and sex. While Kinsey preaches that sex is nothing but a "hormonal function" devoid of emotion, John Milk has extreme difficulty adjusting to this concept where his own wife — the young and beautiful Iris — is concerned.

Plot summary
Milk's sexual coming of age starts in 1939 when he is a student at Indiana University in Bloomington and attends Kinsey’s “marriage course”, a lecture in which the renowned zoologist propounds his theories and his plans for the first time in front of a large audience. Still a virgin, he makes Kinsey’s acquaintance when the latter interviews him in order to take his “sex history”. Kinsey makes Milk his personal assistant despite his inexperience, but he turns out to be a quick learner, and thus the young man becomes the first member of what will be “the inner circle”: a handful of men (and, up to a point, also their wives) who furiously collaborate under Kinsey’s dictatorial rule towards the publication of the two volumes later referred to as the Kinsey Report.

Characters in The Inner Circle

 * Alfred Kinsey – Professor conducting studies of sex at college Milk attends
 * Clara "Mac" McMillen – Alfred's wife
 * John Milk – Kinsey's assistant and protagonist
 * Iris Milk – John's wife

Literary significance and criticism
While the novel garnered generally favorable reviews, some reviewers and readers consider The Inner Circle to be one of Boyle’s lesser novels. The criticisms generally cite slow-moving and somewhat predictable plotting, as well as an overly-linear storyline.

The German translation of the novel bears the more lurid title Dr. Sex.

Wessex Tales

Wessex Tales is an 1888 collection of tales written by English novelist and poet Thomas Hardy, many of which are set before Hardy's birth in 1840.

In the various short stories, Hardy writes of the true nature of nineteenth-century marriage and its inherent restrictions, the use of grammar as a diluted form of thought, the disparities created by the role of class status in determining societal rank, the stance of women in society and the severity of even minor diseases causing the rapid onset of fatal symptoms prior to the introduction of sufficient medicinal practices. A focal point of all the short stories is that of social constraints acting to diminish one's contentment in life, necessitating unwanted marriages, repression of true emotion and succumbing to melancholia due to constriction within the confines of 19th-century perceived normalcy.

Contents
Initially, in 1888, the collection contained five stories, all previously published in periodicals....

 * "The Three Strangers" (1883)
 * "The Withered Arm" (1888)
 * "Fellow-Townsmen" (1880)
 * "Interlopers at the Knap" (1884)
 * "The Distracted Preacher" (1879)

For the 1896 reprinting, Hardy added a sixth...

 * "An Imaginative Woman" (1894)

But in 1912, he reversed that decision, moving "An Imaginative Woman" to another collection, Life's Little Ironies (1894), while at the same time transferring two of the latter collection's stories...

 * "A Tradition of Eighteen Hundred and Four" (1882)
 * "The Melancholy Hussar of the German Legion" (1890)

...to Wessex Tales, for a final total of seven stories.

Dramatic adaptations
Six of the short stories were adapted as television dramas, forming the BBC2 anthology series Wessex Tales:

 * "The Withered Arm" (7 November 1973, BBC2), adapted by Rhys Adrian, directed by Desmond Davis (The Internet Movie Database claims Davis is uncredited - this is an error) and starring Billie Whitelaw.
 * "Fellow-Townsmen" (14 November 1973, BBC2), adapted by Douglas Livingstone, directed by Barry Davis, and starring Jane Asher.
 * "A Tragedy of Two Ambitions" (21 November 1973, BBC2), adapted by Dennis Potter, directed by Michael Tuchner, and starring John Hurt. This story is from Hardy's collection Life's Little Ironies.
 * "An Imaginative Woman" (28 November 1973, BBC2), adapted by William Trevor, directed by Gavin Millar, and starring Claire Bloom.
 * "The Melancholy Hussar" (5 December 1973, BBC2), adapted by Ken Taylor, directed by Mike Newell, and starring Ben Cross.
 * "Barbara of the House of Grebe" (12 December, 1973 BBC2), adapted by David Mercer, directed by David Jones, and starring Nick Brimble and Ben Kingsley. This story is from Hardy's collection A Group of Noble Dames.

Benzoin (organic compound)

Benzoin ( or ) is an organic compound with the formula PhCH(OH)C(O)Ph. It is a hydroxy ketone attached to two phenyl groups. It appears as off-white crystals, with a light camphor-like odor. Benzoin is synthesized from benzaldehyde in the benzoin condensation. It is chiral and it exists as a pair of enantiomers: (R)-benzoin and (S)-benzoin.

Benzoin is not a constituent of benzoin resin obtained from the benzoin tree (Styrax) or tincture of benzoin. The main component in these natural products is benzoic acid.

History
Benzoin was first reported in 1832 by Justus von Liebig and Friedrich Woehler during their research on oil of bitter almond, which is benzaldehyde with traces of hydrocyanic acid. The catalytic synthesis by the benzoin condensation was improved by Nikolay Zinin during his time with Liebig.

Uses
The main use of benzoin is as a precursor to benzil, which is used as a photoinitiator. The conversion proceeds by organic oxidation using copper(II), nitric acid, or oxone. In one study, this reaction is carried out with atmospheric oxygen and basic alumina in dichloromethane.

Benzoin also sees wide spread use in powder coating formulations, where it acts as a degassing agent during the curing stage. This action prevents surface defects such as 'pinholing'.

Benzoin can be used in the preparation of several pharmaceutical drugs including oxaprozin, ditazole, and phenytoin.

Preparation
Benzoin is prepared from benzaldehyde via the benzoin condensation.

Talk:Donnacona

Misleading
Sorry but the article is about Donnacona or Cartier? because here I read just about a European guy. Furthermore why it is specified that even if kidnapped Donnacona has been treated well? Does this make the kidnapping crime less? and if so, according to whose parameters has he been treated well if he died few years later? I simply believe this article is ridicolous and mislead completely the information researched. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.87.140.193 (talk) 16:47, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Donnacona
How was the Chief Donnacona?

Where was Chief Donnacona born? Chief Donnacona was born in Canada

Who was Chief Donnacona? The Wenndat Cheif / leader

Where was he taken? Nowhere, Town of Donnacona

The Town of Donnacona QC is not named after Chief Donnacona. The Town is named after an old paper mill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shopteacher (talk • contribs) 20:17, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Per Hallström

Per August Leonard Hallström (29 September 1866 – 18 February 1960) was a Swedish author, short-story writer, dramatist, poet and member of the Swedish Academy. He joined the academy in 1908, and served as its Permanent Secretary from 1931 to 1941.

Life
Before devoting himself to writing, Hallström worked in London and Chicago as a chemist. He is appreciated primarily for his collections of short stories, such as Purpur [Purple] (1895) and Thanatos [Death] (1900). His major works, written before 1910, combine profound compassion with a sensitive awareness of beauty. Between 1922 and 1946, Hallström served as Chairman of the Nobel Committee of the Swedish Academy for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Per was grandfather to Anders Hallström, who was also a writer.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Singapore Changi Airport passenger traffic by destination

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was - kept - SimonP 14:19, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Singapore Changi Airport passenger traffic by destination
Nonsense? Unencyclopedic? Verifiable? This page looks pretty seedy. It could well be notable, but I think it fails in a lot of respects. Dosn't seem to have encyclopedic potential. Ryan Prior 21:35, May 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * I have not even finished beyond two cities and it gets a vote for deletion? It is not meant to stand on its own. Its part of Singapore Changi Airport so that the later can be trimmed and will not be overflowing with statistical info.--Huaiwei 21:54, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, very relevant to coverage of the airport but better on a sub-page. Kappa 22:03, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand, encyclopedic information. - Mailer Diablo 22:08, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per my comments above. Also, I do have intentions to include annual traffic figures for each city subsequently based on data I managed to grap from other sources, and do chk out the corresponding Singapore Changi Airport passenger traffic by airline, which is much further down the editing effort but far from complete.--Huaiwei 22:11, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Unencyclopedic. Xcali 22:47, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Isn't this sort of raw data table best left to Wikisource et al.? If it's coming from some external source, it might be best left as an external link so that Wikipedians aren't perpetually trying to maintain this sort of constantly-changing data.  --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 00:04, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I am not too sure if this is considered raw data if I had to sieve through and extract relevant information and do a bit of my own number crunching before producing the table? I mean...where do we draw the line? How much "originality" is needed before it qualifies? If we may refer to aviation related pages, how about World's busiest airports by passenger traffic (which incidentally, I moved from World's busiest airport? How about Singapore Airlines destinations, which was similarly listed on VFD after I extracted it from the Singapore Airlines page, but thankfully was kept after much discussion over the issue of "unencyclopedic" and "wikisource" data? Today, that page has since spawned enough cousins to populate Category:Airline destinations. Is wikipedia fairing worse with these articles around?--Huaiwei 01:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * My response: Wikipedia isn't the place to post your data. It isn't encyclopedic stuff. Wikipedia is not a web server, and what you're doing is reformatting data and posting it for people to look at - that's best left to you on your own server. If it isn't encyclopedic information, it simply dosn't belong here! I don't mean to deride the idea of an index of airlines by traffic, etc - I think it would be a good resource for the Net. I get the impression from articles such as Wikipedia is not, etc, that this just isn't the forum for what you're doing. Ryan Prior 01:39, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * You fail to see the point. I may have churned some numbers, but this is not my data. You appear to think I am treating wikipedia as some kind of data server. If that is the case, may I know how different this is with every other page in wikipedia? Why do people assume pages with text is more encylopedic then pages with a table or a list, when the former is similarly often reformmatted/rewrittern text available elsewhere?
 * I am personally a geographical graduate with speciality in international transport systems. When it comes to aviation analysis (and including something as mundane as trying to understand why airlines and governments are having bitter disputes over city pairs as we can see in newspapers), one often need to find out which airlines are flying the route in question, the frequency of routes (which translates to capacity), and also the actual numbers of passengers carried. This information is not always easily available in one location, nor is it readily available to all for free. And do these "raw sources of data" present these stuff in a manner which allows one to quickly get an overview of traffic flows from one airport?
 * You have not responded to my questions above. How do you explain all pages in wikipedia which are mere lists? Or tables in which the data was simply copied wholesale from just one source? Are you going to get them all removed, considering they appear to require even less number churning than is required for this page?
 * Last but not least, I am quite disturbed by the kind of language you use in dismissing work you do not appreciate. Calling it "nonsense", "unverifiable", and even "seedy" was quite an insult, unless of coz it is your intention to do so.--Huaiwei 08:17, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete not enclyopedic. There already is a format for listing destinations that should be just fine for this airport.  The data in the table would be hard to maintain since airlines frequently change schedules and do not announce reductions in service.  In any case, the article title is wrong since it is a list of the number of flights and not pasenger traffic.  Vegaswikian 05:50, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I did mention I will be adding passenger traffic figures later. And passenger traffic, btw, do also include routes and traffic frequencies, so in what way is it "wrong"? Secondly, the data is not hard to maintain, because airlines dont change schedules as frequently as you think. Most airlines make big changes at most twice a year, and new routes and suspensions do make it to the news. In addition, the information posted can be easily updated at anytime. Third, I was the same person who expanded the list of airlines in Singapore Changi Airport to include destinations served. When I considered the possibility to expand it further to also include annual traffic figures broken down by city-pair, etc, as well as the fexibility of seeing data by airline or by city, it clearly becomes impossible to keep expanding that list in the airport page. Hence the creation of new subpages to present these in full. I suppose if I merge the entire data back into Singapore Changi Airport, then the content suddenly becomes "encyclopedic"?--Huaiwei 08:17, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Vegaswikian is of course correct on all points.  Quale 06:45, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Singapore Changi Airport (which may also include all of it) and delete - Skysmith 07:58, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I created this page so that the size of that list in Singapore Changi Airport could be reduced or even completely removed. This is part of wikipedia's preference in moving extensive lists of data to seperate pages in order to keep the main page salient and free from too much clutter. Moving these information back is contrary to what has been done since. Why should data moved from main articles to reduce clutter suddenly be deemed unencyclopedic, only to become less so when moved back to its main page?--Huaiwei 08:23, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Response: Information that is not encyclopedic does not belong anywhere on Wikipedia, whether as a helper article or as part of a larger article. The information was unencyclopedic when it was part of its origional article, and it still is. Ryan Prior 17:41, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: This is getting pure ridiculous. Would you mind stating your stand on what is encyclopedic, and what is not, before we go further?--Huaiwei 19:25, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Suggestion: Write an article detailing the methods you use to obtain and process this information. Such a reference would be very useful to anyone with an interest in this sort of research. Ryan Prior 17:41, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: This is odd and contradictory. This article in question is not an attempt to demonstrate "methodology" of any sort. It is a presentation of data in such a way that it combines data from multiple sources and re-configured to be compariable, cohesive, and usable for wider analysis for its mother article, namely for Singapore Changi Airport. An encyclopedia does not create new methodologies and explain them, something you are asking to be done. I do apologise if I sound rude, but I do have a feeling you appear to have a shaky understanding of what an encylopedia is, or your familiarity of the article in question?--Huaiwei 19:25, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, very relevant. It may be difficult for those who have not been to this region to understand the relevance of the article. Singapore Changi Airport is a major air hub that serves at least two very important trans-oceanic routes: the "Singapore-India" route and the "Singapore-Australia" route which is part of the kangaroo route (This route is so important that it was given a special name). The many travelers who fly these routes would agree that the article is relevant and notable. Similarly, those who fly between Singapore and different cities in China, would find the information useful. Often, this is not about planning a specific trip, but rather, this route-focused information is always something good to know and be updated about, as air travel has become so much a part of our lives. It's very much similar to freeways in Southern California, (see Category:Southern California freeways). --  Vsion 11:26, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: The proponents of deletion here do not think that the topic is irrelevant. It is notable and important, but it is not encyclopedic data (however high-level it is). What would be encyclopedic would be a page on the method used to extract the sort of data presented here from the raw data provided elsewhere. Wikipedia is not an archive; I would not go to a page about a highway and, every day, post the number of cars that travelled. On the page about SlashDot, I would not put up the number of words in every slashdot-referenced article day-to-day and run statistical analysis on those numbers. Those could be valuable activities, and there is notability abound because of the importance of those figures. However, the information is not encyclopedic and, unless sources and methodology are cited, the figures themselves are not verifiable (and/or can be considered origional research.) Ryan Prior 12:59, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I strongly refute several assumptions and generalisations in the above statements:
 * Presenting facts for the purpose of an encyclopedia is quite different from explaining the methodologies used to obtain them. Do you have articles in wikipedia directly explaining how a page like Earth is written? An encyclopedia presents facts, be it in textual form or otherwise. It does not create them, nor does it spell out how an article is created other then the listing of sources used, etc.
 * You entirely missed the point there. Read what I write before you strongly refute me. The creator of this article has interpreted it and processed data in order to write his page. I do not suggest a page about the method for creating the page; and you are right when you say that Wikipedia does not, and should not, have a page explaining how Earth was written. However, we do have a page explaining how proteins are made, and how a quicksort works. Spare me for a moment, if you would, your pointless ranting about how air travel is not like biochemistry or data sorting. A page about how something is done can be and often is encyclopedic. Thus, a page explaining how to take traffic figures and, by analyzing them, find yearly air traffic motiffs would be encyclopedic. Q.E.D. Ryan Prior 20:32, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia IS an archieve, and indeed, it is even being celebrated as being a medium which is able to track and record facts as they pass us by in a way more dynamic then any physical medium could. If wikipedia could present trends over temporal scales, would this be considered an "archive", and hence worth removal?
 * Using daily traffic data on a motorway to compare with this page appears to suggest your unfamiliarity and overall ignorance when it comes to transportational studies. Anyone with enough years in academia would have pointed out, that the "significance" or "worthiness" of data is not fixed on the temporal scale. You cannot assume daily traffic on a highway is as useful as one for passenger volumes on an airline. Temporal scales are often tweaked according to noted patterns in movement numbers. Aviation traffic, for example, tend to have seasonal swings which span a calender year. Motorway movements, on the otherhand, tend to have traffic patterns repeating itself on a weekly basis. Obviously, the scale chosen similarly depends on the research objectives as well. But it is quite obvious that no one can simply start plucking random examples to deride the value of another. Proof to us that annual passenger figures are as useless as daily traffic figures on a motorway, and then we shall talk.
 * I don't like your argument here. I did not choose highway traffic because it's just like air traffic. I chose it because it is similarly unencyclopedic. The only potentially encyclopedic facts are the conclusions which rise from those facts. I know you'll say this is an interpretation. I say no - this is a listing. An interpretation would say, "In 2004 when X corporation moved to Singapore, traffic increased in January because of the movement of businessmen." A listing says, "November 2003, X passangers. December, Y passangers. January, Z passangers." In my humble opinion, the interpretation has encyclopedic potential while the listing does not. Ryan Prior 20:32, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Your comparison with SlashDot is equally disturbing. This list aims to show the traffic flow into and out of the airport on an annual basis, with the number of flights updated on an ad-hoc basis. Is this the same as your comparison with SlashDot? This page does NOT aim to list every single nitty-gritty data out there. For example, we could start listing flight numbers. We could list flight times. We could list types of aircraft used, and the capacity and number of seats for each. And in fact, these ARE important information as well in much aviation analysis. But no. It is kept to reasonable editing limits to include only the destinations, frequency of flights, and the pasengers carried annually to meet its primary objective. Your SlashDot analogy in seemingly trying to present me as an inclusionist is obviously a shot in the dark.
 * Once again, please grasp my point. If I were to log the number of words on every referenced SlashDot article, the listing would be quite simple (like, say the frequencey of flights to and from a Singapore airport). Useful analysis of these might yield the fact that SlashDot-referenced articles are getting shorter, which might suggest either that online reporting's style is changing or that SlashDot's editors are getting lazier and click past drawn-out articles. Neither of those are true to my knowledge; I speak hypothetically here. The numbers do not have encyclopedic potential, while the conclusions drawn from them might. Ryan Prior 20:32, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Last but not least, I again notice your shaky foundations when it comes to "defining" what is encyclopedic. You know claim any information presented here which does not have a source is naturally "unverifyable", and inevitably "unencyclopedic". I suppose I must have dreamt up the number of flights and passengers carried yesterday night, or I got my dog to walk on my keyboard to get the numbers?
 * I would like to have a link to your source, just in case I want to check the work. If these are origional numbers, then this qualifies as source material. If they aren't, they must come from somewhere... right? Ryan Prior 20:32, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * I would certainly love to hear your views on these. And meanwhile, may I know what kind of research methodology courses have you done in your lifetime, and how familiar are you with the international transport industry?--Huaiwei 19:25, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I work in research. Yes, I know what research methodology is. Internation travel is in my family, and statisticl analysis of data to find trends and draw conclusions is not a foreign concept to me. Ryan Prior 20:32, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * Notice: I officially obstain from this discussion. I beleive that anyone who reads what I have written understands my position on this article without further explanation. Furthermore, I believe that commenting further would only serve to provoke those who oppose my opinions. Ryan Prior 20:32, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and would be nice to extend such project to other airports too. — Instantnood 05:07, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Interesting and useful info. No objection to having it seperate from Singapore Changi Airport  T h e St ev e  06:38, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a statistics database. —Lowellian (talk) 13:03, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, No original research. —Lowellian (talk) 13:04, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Er...in what way is this "original research"?--Huaiwei 14:38, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It comes under this section: However, research that consists of collecting and organizing information from existing primary and secondary sources is strongly encouraged - still looks good to me. T h e St ev e  23:22, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Ato Boldon Stadium

The Ato Boldon Stadium is an athletics and football stadium located in Balmain, Couva, Trinidad and Tobago. It is currently the home ground of Central and Club Sando.

History
The stadium was constructed for the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship which was hosted by Trinidad and Tobago, and was named for eight-time Olympic and World Championship medal winner and 1997 200m World Champion, sprinter Ato Boldon. It hosted four of the six Group C matches.

It was also used for the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, in which it hosted one match from Group A, one from Group B, four of the Group C matches, one of the quarter-finals and both semi-finals.

The stadium played host to a World Cup qualifier on October 10, 2017, in which Trinidad and Tobago defeated the United States 2–1; this result alongside Panama defeating Costa Rica 2–1 and Honduras defeating Mexico 3–2 sent Panama into the World Cup while simultaneously eliminating the US from qualifying. Prior to the match, the United States complained of inadequate conditions after the track separating the pitch from the stands was flooded, forcing players to be carried across.

Hasely Crawford Stadium

The Hasely Crawford Stadium, formerly the National Stadium, is located in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. It was inaugurated and formally opened by Prime Minister George Chambers on 12 June 1982. On 30 December 1996, Prime Minister Basdeo Panday officially designated it "The Hasely Crawford Stadium", after track and field athlete Hasely Crawford, the first person from Trinidad and Tobago to win an Olympic gold medal.

History
The stadium, which is sometimes used by the Trinidad and Tobago national football team, hosted the final of the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship. It also hosted games at the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. It hosted athletics and the opening ceremony for the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games.

Currently the stadium has a capacity of 22,575 with the installation of individual seats. However, on 19 November 1989 Trinidad and Tobago played the US in a winner takes all WC qualifying match in front of somewhere between 30,000 - 40,000 fans. Its theatre-style VIP Room holds 250.

Talk:Xeper

Bad Title
Egyptologists do not transliterate this word Xeper. The transliteration of this word is spelled with a symbol which does not exist on any common computer font. It looks somthing like an h with a half a circle with the ends pointing up underneath it. Because of the lack of this symbol, x is often used to replace it, however in formal transiteration there would be no vowels and the word would be transcribed, xpr. If the artical were to be named this, there would also need to be a note that the X is capitolized by technical restrictions, since Xpr would be an entierly different word.

Furthermore, no other article uses the egyptian computer transcription system. Note that Ankh is not AnH, which it would be in keyboard transcription. Thutmosis, whose prenomen actually contains xpr in it, is written Menkheperre Thutmose III, not mnxprrA Dhwtymss.

Lastly, xpr would be pronounced Kheper, not Kheffer. Amarna tablet data would indicate that xpr may have actually been pronounced akhpir, if anything.

This article should have its name changed to Kheper. Thanatosimii 01:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree the article should have its name changed to the dominant spelling, with xeper noted as a variant in its body. GeorgeLouis 14:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Celt belt

I just removed the following... One definition takes in only those areas in which Celtic languages are still spoken, but another broader one takes in Brittany and the non-English parts of the British isles.

The only places Celtic languages are spoken and Celtic cultures survive are in Britanny and the non-English parts of the British Isles.. And diaspora communities from cultures originating there (ie. the Scottish Gaels in Nova Scotia, Welsh in Argentina, etc). The criteria of the first definition fits the places listed as fitting in the 'broader' one.--4.247.122.28 21:37, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Merge?
Some folks are now developing a Celtic nations article (this might move eventually to a different name), which now leaves this stub largely redundant. I think all the information here could probably be more usefully presented there. Shall we merge? QuartierLatin1968 05:00, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge is fine by me, as long as we are careful to actually merge, and not just redirect.--Mais oui! 20:57, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I merged them, but in the form of a redirect, as I am under the impression is usual for a merge. I did add to "Celtic nations" all information from "Celt belt" that wasn't already there, so I hope there's no problem. Slainte. -GlamdringCookies 21:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of mayors of Atlanta

Hardcoding
Instead of hardcoding the list here, can we redirect to the Category "Mayors of Atlanta"? That list has all mayors, then we could delete this page. Otherwise I'll need to edit every mayor page's "succession box"
 * Be bold! Autiger 16:32, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh well, I went ahead and added a link to the :Category: so people can at least see the full list. I just don't see a point to keeping this article jolomo

 * I think this list is still needed (though it should be completed) since the category doesn't give a chronological list. Thus, if someone were trying to find out who was the Mayor of Atlanta in 1958, she would have to look through every mayor in the category until she found William Hartsfield. Sayeth 17:49, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * Good point! Wrote a script to crank it out from my raw data jolomo

Party?
The last editor (anon) tabulated the list and added party affiliation. While all of those folks he marks as Dems are generally known to be Dems, the Atlanta mayoral election is officially non-partisan. By listing a party, there's an implication the mayor was representing that party on the ballot when they were elected. Any thoughts? Autiger 05:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Well that's interesting -- I didn't know that. I'm the one who made the table, by the way. Well I looked and looked for a source to back up what you say, and I found it in -- go figure -- the Atlanta city ordinances (Section 5-105: "...In all municipal elections conducted by or for the City of Atlanta, the names of all candidates shall be listed upon the ballot without party label"). So it's not just the Mayor. Again, interesting, and thanks for bringing it up. However, we all know that most politicians do have a party affiliation, and the party affiliation of the Mayors of Atlanta is interesting. That's what I was looking for when I first came to this page and saw that parties were missing. So I think the Party column adds something. We might add a note to the page that indicates that City of Atlanta election ballots do not list candidates' party. Oh, and by the way -- the code doesn't say that they don't have a party, just that they don't put it on the ballot. Readparse 04:47, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

Well! This would explain why a party affiliation is so hard to find from the historical record (really, there are primary sources from the 1940s where 3 "Democrats" are competing against each other). Perhaps, if it's important to you, we could label the column "usual political affiliation" or something?? Otherwise just leave it out. Jolomo 04:16, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I meant to add a similar example that in the last mayoral election the three major candidates were all Democrats. Since the effort has been made to find so many at this point however, I'd say that a notation stating the election is non-partisan would be sufficient.  The affiliation is probably of interest relating to the future political careers of mayors that went on to positions with partisan races.  Autiger 04:31, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Stacy Peralta

The intro to this section needs to be removed. The part in bold. Not only is it biased and unsourced, it is in bold for some reason. And the sentence "placed thrid or fourth" or something like that is just funny. This is an encyclopedia. If you want to say he placed in a certain position, you need to actually find out the position. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.227.241.45 (talk) 19:13, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Citations and updating
I will return to this article, but this page really needs to be updated, as Peralta has achieved a significant amount of work that isn't documented here. Citations are also required, as there is a lot of unreferenced material here.--Soulparadox (talk) 16:49, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
