Kijevo, Belgrade

Kijevo (Кијево) is an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in Belgrade's municipality of Rakovica.

Location
Kijevo is located between the southwestern slopes of the 209 m Straževica hill on the east, and the southeastern slopes of the 205 m Petlovo Brdo on the west. The neighborhood is situated in the central part of the municipality, on the mouth of the stream of Kijevski Potok into the Topčiderka river. It is bordered by the neighborhoods of Petlovo Brdo on the west, Labudovo Brdo and Kneževac on the north and Resnik on the southeast. The neighborhood Sunčani Breg is located east of the Straževica hill and the quarry. Area south of Kijevo, the "Klik"' and "Šabinac" meadows, is still not urbanized.

The neighborhood is situated in the valley of the Topčiderka, 14 km south of downtown Belgrade, near the crossroad of the Ibar highway and the Kružni put, and the future, parallel, Belgrade beltway.

Geography
Originally, the area was suitable for tourism and was well known as an excursion location. The flowery meadows surrounded both the Kijevski Potok and Topčiderka, which in turn were bordered by the oak forests and agricultural fields. Later, the artificial Lake Kijevo was formed in the valley. However, by the 1960s all that disappeared. The settlement became more populous, the highway and the tunnel were built and the area was fully urbanized. The lake was drained, the forests were cut and the meadows and fields transformed in time into the marshland.

The Straževica slopes are made of rich deposits of sandy-detrital silicified limestone, which are even today exploited in the Kijevo Quarry, which was originally open to supply the railroad company, but also became the main stone source for Belgrade.

Lake Kijevo
Lake Kijevo is a former artificial lake which existed for 46 years. Kijevski Potok, which originates under the hillock of Mačkov kamen, between Kneževac and Rušanj, cut through the Kijevo valley and often flooded it. In order to prevent damage by floodings to his factory, Stefanović built a sluice in 1901, forming the Lake Kijevo. Soon, the lake, surrounded by the thick forest, became an excursion site for the wealthier Belgraders. As Kijevo has its own railway station, a special excursion trains connected it to downtown Belgrade. There was an ada, small island in the lake which visitors could reached only by boats. Custom of the day was for the ladies to be brought to the island by boat and then to have a Turkish coffee served there. As the lake became more and more popular, Stefanović built a hotel with the ballroom. Visitors included Serbian king Peter I, writer Branislav Nušić and painter Nadežda Petrović. It has been recorded that the lake was visited by Albert Einstein, his wife Mileva and their son Hans. During his 1905 visit to the botanist Nedeljko Košanin, chief of the Belgrade's botanical garden Jevremovac, the Einsteins were driving the boat and swam in the lake.

In 1937-38 Stefanović's nephew, who inherited the business, parceled the remaining land into lots with the view on ada and sold them for the construction of the family houses. After the unusually rainy spring in 1941, the sluice gate was lifted for the sludge to be washed away. The gates were later stolen and the lake began to recede. New authorities tried to clean an dredge the bottom of the valley, but ultimately gave up and the lake completely drained through the Kijevski Potok into the Topčiderka by 1947. New government, aside from confiscating all their assets, declared the Stefanović's nephew and his brother public enemies. Immediately after the war, one of the brothers fell under the train in dubious circumstances (he was in the company of the representatives of the new government) and the other emigrated to the United States.

When the construction of the neighborhood of Kanarevo Brdo began in the 1960s, the earth which was dug was used to fill the former lake. The area was then flattened and turned into the football court for the local club "FK Kijevo". The club was disbanded in 2000, and the court was left unattended. By 2015 it was completely overgrown by the vegetation and the football facilities deteriorated, while the stream became an open sewage canal. The only remaining property of the Stefanović family economic complex is one low, abandoned building full of rubbish, at the edge of the former court.

Origin
Until the early 20th century, Kijevo was an uninhabited section of the Rakovica's rural area. Svetozar Stefanović, industrialist who founded the first canning factory in Serbia, in Kragujevac, moved to Belgrade and bought the land at the mouth of the Kijevski Potok into the Topčiderka and planted fruits and vegetables, including the large fruit plantation on the slopes of the west bank of Kijevski Potok. Later, in 1901 he also transferred his factory from Kragujevac to Kijevo. The factory was nationalized after the World War II by the new Communist authorities, renamed to "Prvi Maj" and moved to Čukarica in the late 1950s. The factory was predecessor of the modern canning factory FMP.

After the Lake Kijevo was created in 1901, lots around the lake were settled by the wealthy Belgrade citizens who build villas around the lake. Among the first was Moša Avram "Maca", proprietor of the first umbrella factory in Belgrade. His villa was later adapted into the first Kijevo elementary school and after the World War II became the seat of local branch of OZNA (Yugoslav security agency) for a while. The building was demolished in the 1960s.

Apart from Stefanović, fast industrial development of Kijevo included the entrepreneurs Parapid, Tomić and Marković who founded the quarry, while a major landowner of the time, Fotelić, owned a large land complex on the southern and southeastern slopes of Petlovo Brdo. There were numerous smaller landowners, mostly peasant families from Kneževac, but also from Resnik and nearby Rušanj. As the peasants in time became highly in debt, especially during the Great Depression, the land in Kijevo was acquired by the Mortgage bank in 1931–1932. The confiscated land on the eastern and southern slopes of Petlovo Brdo, in the alluvial valleys of both rivers, was parceled and sold to the employees of the railroad company. This is when Kijevo began to fully develop as a settlement.

After World War II
Until 1941, some 200 people settled in Kijevo, with additional 80 who refuged during the World War II. After the war, a huge number of rural population moved to Belgrade, especially from the war thorn and poor regions, but also because of the deficit of the workforce in the city. Many worked in Kijevo because of the railroad and tunnel construction, so the temporary barracks for the workers and their families were placed all over the Belgrade suburbia, including Kijevo. Some of them still stand. The 1950 Belgrade general plan (GUP) envisioned the entire area stretching from the Zmajevac Hill, below Miljakovac, over Kneževac, to Kijevo, as the green, un-urbanized, excursion area.

Next wave of settlement in Kijevo began in 1953, coinciding with the massive shift of the local agricultural population which was settling in Belgrade. As Kijevo was at the time designated as the green area, and the building was restricted, the unplanned construction flourished. As there was a major shortage of apartments in the city, the settlers were buying the lots in Kijevo and built their own houses. In 1953-1960 period, 800 people moved into the settlement.

Next phase of the development started in 1962, this time under the administration of the Čukarica municipality to which Kijevo belonged at the time after being abolished as a separate settlement in 1959 and annexed to the village of Kneževac, which in turn lost its municipality and became part of Čukarica. As the municipality issued the building permits, the settlement spread from the originally drier sections of the lower and eastern slopes. The individual houses were now built, almost on top of Petlovo Brdo and on the left slopes of the Duboki Potok. In 1961-1965 period, 700 new inhabitants settled in Kijevo.

Modern development

In 1965 the municipality handed over the area to the development agency, and the planned growths began. This marked the end of the individual construction and the building of the high rise began. In the 1966-1969 period, 2,500 people settled in Kijevo. Such a strong and fast development, despite being planned, had its setbacks, especially concerning the lack of compatibility with the rational building of the settlement which raised the price of both the construction and the communal grid. The construction continued without fixing the problems but the new settlement was partially harmonized with the 1972 GUP of Belgrade. This new GUP abandoned the 1950 GUP project of green areas on this location, switching to urban construction instead.

The GUP envisioned the urban joining of Kneževac-Kijevo and Železnik, along the Kružni put road, creating a secondary center of Belgrade. The planned suburban city was to have 35,000 workers and 100,000 inhabitants, on an area of 150 ha. The city was to have numerous business buildings, department stores, hotels, educational facilities, scientific venues and medical institutes. The project wasn't carried through and the two neighborhoods remained disconnected, though they both independently formed one urban unit with Belgrade in time and in 1972 were abolished as separate settlements and annexed to Belgrade as its neighborhoods.

In 1970–1971, 4,500 people moved into the Kneževac-Kijevo neighborhood. According to the 1971 census, Kneževac, still a separate settlement, had a population of 13,022, but 8,823 belonged to the Kijevo-Petlovo Brdo section, making Kijevo twice larger than Kneževac itself. Only 19% of the population was autochthonous. The migrations were almost stopped after that and the informal settlements were resettled, so already in 1972 a population began to decline. The population was resettled into the neighboring settlements and villages of Miljakovac, Resnik, Rušanj, Pelovo Brdo and Sremčica. By this time, the settlement was fully urbanized and not a single family was solely agricultural, though some small fields were still cultivated.

The stream remained unregulated for decades, still flooding the neighboring houses during heavy rains. Regulation of the 1,265 m long section, which was to prevent future flooding, began in 2020. Deadline was set to 2022 or 2023. It was decided to completely conduct the waterway into the underground pipes.

In time, the new section with high rise buildings differentiated itself as a separate neighborhood of Petlovo Brdo so today the name Kijevo applies only to the old part of the neighborhood.

Administration
Kijevo was a separate village until 1959 when it was incorporated into Kneževac, which in turn was incorporated into Belgrade in 1972.

Kijevo is today organized as "local community", a sub-municipal administrative unit. In 2010 the western section of the local community was detached and became part of the newly formed local community Petlovo Brdo.

Characteristics
In the urban and cadastral sense, Kijevo forms one unit with the neighboring Kneževac. Majority of the area of the former Kijevo settlement is today part of the Kneževac cadaster municipality, with a small part being added to the Resnik cadaster municipality.

Economy
A former village, through urbanization Kijevo became the southern extension of Rakovica and a mostly industrialized area. The most important feature in the neighborhood is the quarry which supplies the entire Belgrade's building industry with stone and slates. The remaining industry is also mostly into construction and building (building companies and cement plants Komgrap, Graditelj, etc.).

Kijevo is important traffic crossroad. Crossing of the Belgrade-Niš and suburban Belgrade's railway is located here, with several tunnels and "Kijevo" railway station. Kružni put or "circular road" which rounds through the entire southern outskirts of Belgrade passes here, also with a tunnel in Kijevo.

The Dindigul Municipality has been upgraded as Municipal Corporation with effect from 19 February 2014. Hon'ble Chief Minister Jayalalithaa handed over the government order to Municipal Chairman V. Marudharaj

Dindigul is believed to be an ancient settlement region and has been ruled at different times by the Cheras, Early Pandyas, Cholas, Pallava dynasty, the later Pandyas, the Madurai Sultanate, the Vijayanagara Empire, Madurai Nayak Dynasty, Chanda Sahib, and the British. Dindigul has a number of historical monuments, the Dindigul Fort being the most prominent.

Dindigul is well-connected by road and rail with the rest of Tamil Nadu. It is the 12th-largest urban agglomeration in the state and had a population of 292,512 according to Tamil Nadu's 2011 census. Dindigul has 200,000 hectares of cultivation land, and agriculture continues to be the main occupation of its inhabitants. Located between the Palani and Sirumalai Hills, Dindigul has a reserved forest area of 85 hectares.

It is one of the few towns and cities in List of AMRUT Smart cities in Tamil Nadu selected for AMRUT Schemes from central government and the developmental activities are taken care by government of Tamil Nadu.

Etymology
The city's name comes from a portmanteau of the Tamil words Thindu "pillow" and kal rock and refers to the bare hill located in the city. The Śaiva poet Tirunavukkarasar visited the city and noted it in his Tevaram. Dindigul was mentioned in poet Palupatai sokkanathar's book Padmagiri Nadhar Thenral Vidu thudhu. This was later stated by U. V. Swaminatha Iyer (1855-1942) in his foreword to the above book. He also mentions that Dindigul was originally called Thindicharam.

History
The history of Dindigul is centered around the Dindigul Fort, located on a small rock hill near the city. Dindigul was on the border of the moovendars of ancient Tamilakam, the Pandyas, Cheras and Cholas. The Chera king Dharmabalan is believed to have built the temples of Abirami and Padmagirinathar. The ancient Tamil book, Silappathikaram records the city as the northern border of the Pandya kingdom whose capital was Madurai. Historian Strabo mentions about the city in his 20 A.D. work and Pillni, the great historian of the time described the Pandya king in his works.

During the 1st century CE, the Chola king Karikal Cholan captured the Pandya kingdom and Dindigul came under Chola rule. During the sixth century, the Pallavas took over Dindigul along with most of southern India, and was ruled by them until 8th century CE when the Cholas retook it. During the Delhi Sultanate's raids into southern India, Dindigul was not attacked, and later that century the city became part of the Vijayanagara Empire. The commander of the Vijayanagara army Kampanna Udayar played an important role in the war in capturing Madurai which was under the Madurai Sultanate. In 1559 Nayaks became powerful and their territory bordered with Dindigul in the north. After the death of king Viswanatha Nayak in 1563, Muthukrisna Nayakka became the king of a kingdom in 1602 A.D who built the strong hill fort in 1605 A.D. He also built a fort at the bottom of the hill. Muthuveerappa Nayak and Thirumalai Nayak followed Muthukrishna Nayak. Dindigul came to prominence once again during Nayaks rule of Madurai under Thirumalai Nayak. After his immediate unsuccessful successors, Rani Mangammal became the ruler of the region who ruled efficiently.

In 1736 Chanda Sahib, the lieutenant of Mughal Empire seized power from Vangaru Nayak. In 1742, the Mysore army under the leadership of Venkatarayar conquered Dindigul. He governed Dindigul as a representative of Maharaja of Mysore. There were 18 palayams (a small region consists of few villages) during his reign and all these palayams were under Dindigul Semai, with Dindigul as the capital. These palayams wanted to be independent and refused to pay taxes to Venkatarayar. In 1748, Venkatappa was made governor of the region in place of Venkatarayar, who also failed. In 1755, the Maharaja sent Haider Ali to Dindigul to handle the situation. Later Haider Ali became the Maharaja of Mysore, and in 1777, he appointed Purshana Mirsaheb as governor of Dindigul. Mirsaheb strengthened the fort and the garrison around it. His wife Ameer-um-Nisha-Begam died during her delivery and her tomb is now called Begambur. In 1783 the British Army, led by Captain Long, occupied Dindigul. In 1784, after an agreement between Mysore and the British army, Dindigul was restored by Mysore province. In 1788, Tipu Sultan, the Son of Haider Ali, was crowned as King of Dindigul. In 1790, James Stewart of the British army conquered Dindigul again during third war of Mysore. In a pact made on 1792, Tipu ceded Dindigul to the British. Dindigul was the first region to come under British rule in Madurai District. In 1798, the British army strengthened the hill fort with cannons and built sentinel rooms in every corner. The British army, under Statten stayed at Dindigul fort from 1798 to 1859. After that Madurai was made headquarters of the British army and Dindigul was attached to it as a taluk. Dindigul was under the rule of the British until India gained Independence on 15 August 1947. Recently the city has been experiencing new growth and new companies are opening branches here like Chennai Silks, UnlimitED, Jos Allukas and Tanishq.

History of Waterford

Waterford city is situated in south eastern Ireland, on the river Suir [pronounced Shure] about 17 mi from where the river enters the sea.

Waterford is Ireland's oldest city and is thought to have been founded by Vikings in the 9th century. It was taken over by Anglo-Norman invaders in the 12th century, and was one of the most important Old English centres in medieval Ireland. Since then it has seen sieges, invasions, famine and economic highs and lows. It remains the foremost city in Ireland's south-east.

See Rulers of Waterford for a list of the city's rulers from 914 to the present day.

Foundation
There are references to Vikings living in the Waterford area in the years 860, 892 and 914, and the foundation of Waterford is generally dated to 914. A popular story of Waterford's origins tells that it was established by a Viking-chieftain named Sitric in 853. This account is based on an account by Gerald of Wales, and is challenged by Clare Downham in her article The historical importance of Viking-Age Waterford. An alternative origin myth is found in the 13th-century Ystoria Gruffudd ap Cynan – in which the Norwegian king Harald Finehair (c. 850 – c. 933) is said to have founded Dublin, and to have given Waterford to his brother.

Among the most prominent Kings of Waterford was Ivar of Waterford (d. 1000).

During the late 10th and early 11th centuries, the rise of Brian Bóruma saw Waterford and a number of other Viking ports being brought firmly under the control of the O'Brien dynasty. Control of these Viking ports was significant for would-be Irish High Kings as it granted greater access to international trade and manpower.

Anglo Norman invasion and medieval Waterford
In 1137, Diarmuid MacMorrough, king of Leinster, failed in an attempt to take Waterford. He was trying to secure the large centres to advance his claim for high king of Ireland. In 1170 MacMorrough allied himself with Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (Strongbow); together they besieged and took Waterford after a desperate defence. This was the introduction of the Anglo-Normans into Ireland. In 1171, Henry II of England became the first English king to set foot in an Irish city, by landing with a large fleet at Waterford; he did so to ensure that Ireland became an English colony and not a rival Norman country. Waterford and Dublin were declared royal cities, and belonged to the king, not Strongbow; Dublin was declared capital of Ireland.

Throughout the medieval period, Waterford was Ireland's second city after Dublin. Waterford's great parchment book (1361–1649) represents the earliest use of the English language in Ireland for official purposes.

Religious war and upheavals
Waterford was occupied by Mountjoy in 1603 during the Nine Years War (Ireland) a rebellion led by Hugh O'Neill, ostensibly in the cause of Irish independence and the Catholic religion. Despite their own adherence to Catholicism, the townspeople largely sided with the English government forces. However, upon the coronation of James VI of Scotland as king of England in 1603, the citizens participated in an uprising that was common to the coastal cities of Munster and refused entry to Mountjoy, the king's Lord Deputy of Ireland, who had just secured the surrender of Hugh O'Neill. The motivation for Waterford's defiance lay in the people's demand for freedom of religion – they were led by Catholic priests and re-consecrated several churches in the city – although there were also mutterings about the nationality of the new king. After negotiations, Lord Mountjoy was granted entry to the city and the citizens pledged their loyalty anew.

However, Waterford's Roman Catholic population became deeply alienated from the English Protestant state in Ireland in the following 40 years. After the Irish Rebellion of 1641, Waterford was a centre of support for the Confederate Catholics of Ireland – a de facto independent Irish state formed to fight for Irish Catholic interests in the Irish Confederate Wars. Within the Confederation, Waterford was known for its militant Catholic politics – rejecting an alliance signed between the Confederates and Charles I that would have sent Irish troops to fight for the King in the English Civil War.

18th century Waterford

The 18th century was a period of huge prosperity for Waterford. Most of the city's best architecture appeared during this time. Trading with Newfoundland brought much wealth into what was then the third largest port in Ireland.

In 1783, George and William Penrose founded a glass factory, which would become Waterford Crystal, the most famous business in the city.

A permanent military presence was established in the city with the completion of the Cavalry Barracks at the end of the 18th century.

Waterford 1850–1923
In the 19th century, great industries such as glass making and ship building thrived in the city. Thomas Francis Meagher (Meagher of the sword), an Irish nationalist, made the first Irish tricolour. He brought it back from France and it was first flown from a building on the Mall in Waterford.

In the early 20th century John Redmond was MP for Waterford and leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, which almost achieved home rule and a new parliament for Ireland.

The Irish Civil War
After the evacuation of British troops (Devonshire Regiment) from Waterford city at the end of the Irish War of Independence, the military and police barracks were occupied by the Waterford Flying Column, under the leadership of George Lennon of Dungarvan, which was part of the combined (1921) Waterford Brigade under the command of Pax Whelan from Dungarvan. These men opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922 and therefore took the Republican side when the Irish Civil War commenced with the firing upon the Four Courts in late June 1922.

Republicans considered Waterford to be the eastern stronghold of the "Munster Republic", and linchpin of the 'Limerick-Waterford line'. In late July 1922, therefore, National Army troops under Major General John T. Prout, composed of 450 men, one 18-pounder artillery piece and 4 machine guns arrived from Kilkenny to re-take the city as part of a national offensive. Prout's second in command was Patrick Paul, formerly commander of the IRA in East Waterford. Arrested by his former comrades for supporting the Free State, he escaped disguised as a nun, to join the government forces in Kilkenny. Waterford City fell on the 20th of July 1922, just a day after Limerick City had fallen to the Free State Forces

The Republicans had chosen to defend the city along the southern bank of the river Suir, occupying the military barracks, the prison and the Post Office. Prout placed his artillery on Mount Misery overlooking their positions and bombarded the Republicans until they were forced to evacuate the barracks and prison. However, the gun had to be brought down to Ferrybank to fire over open sights before the Republicans abandoned the Post Office. Some street fighting followed before the Irregulars fled the city and retreated westward to Mount Congreve in Kilmeadan. Two Free State soldiers were killed in the fighting and one Republican fighter. Five civilians were also killed.

Silvertide

Silvertide is an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

History
Originally named Vertigo, Silvertide was formed in January 2001 in Northeast Philadelphia. At first, the band was signed by J Records, and they released their first EP American Excess in 2002. Their first full album, Show and Tell, was released in 2004 and produced by David Ivory.

After completion of their debut album in 2003, Silvertide hit the road and toured straight until 2006, most notably in support of Van Halen, Velvet Revolver, and Mötley Crüe in the summer of 2004, and Alter Bridge in 2005. On March 4, 2005, the band performed their single "Blue Jeans" on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

In 2006, M. Night Shyamalan featured Silvertide in his film Lady in the Water. Silvertide was featured on the soundtrack with their covers of Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" and "It Ain't Me, Babe".

In February 2006 the band made their second appearance on the cover of Origivation Magazine. The photoshoot took place while the band was in preproduction for their next album.

Silvertide continued to play shows after the temporary departure of lead guitarist and founding member Nick Perri decided to hit the road with Perry Farrell, Shinedown, and Matt Sorum. Guitarist "Evil Rob", also from the Philadelphia-based band Pepper's Ghost and long time friend of the band, was called to fill in for Perri on numerous occasions.

Silvertide's future soon came into doubt as news of their new album had slowed down, and the band had updated their Myspace page to show their record label as "We think J Records?" Eventually, a few members of Silvertide began to pursue other projects including Walt Lafty and Brian Weaver's band Automatic Fire, Walt and Nick Perri's band SINAI, and various solo releases. In 2011, J Records was dissolved into RCA Records, at which time Silvertide was no longer listed on the label's roster.

In October, 2012, Silvertide created a new Facebook page and began posting old band photos, as well as hints of a potential reunion. On November 2, the band posted an announcement that Silvertide "will be making music in 2013." On January 9, 2013 Silvertide announced on WMMR that they are going to play a reunion show on March 9, 2013 at The TLA and enter the studio sometime after that show. Walt also said during the reunion show that it was being recorded by "Puffy" Dee Miller for Silversound Productions. Cinematographers consisted of Chris Lonergan, George Morgan, Burke Pushman and Bryan Skill. What is being done with the video is unknown at this point. The show on March 9 was the first of a handful of shows the band performed in 2013.

Other projects
January 22, 2009 vocalist Walt Lafty and bassist Brian Weaver of Silvertide started a new band called Automatic Fire with guitarist Evil Rob of the band Peppers Ghost alongside drummer Brian Kilian from the Dave Pittinger Band. In early 2010, Automatic Fire released an EP titled No Decoy. The album featured a song titled "What Are You Made Of", which Silvertide had performed at some of their final shows in 2008. The band was dissolved in September 2010.

In October 2010 it was announced that former Silvertide members Nick Perri and Walt Lafty had reunited for the first time since Silvertide to form the new rock band SINAI. On May 1, 2012, the band released their debut album, A Pinch of Chaos. After this band disbanded, Nick formed the band Mount Holly, which disbanded on November 3, 2017. On January 2, 2018, Nick's latest project, The Underground Thieves, which features Walt and Brian Weaver, was announced.

User:MarSch/deleteproposal

This proposal is an attempt to improve the efficiency of the various deletion pages.

The problem
There are a lot of candidates on the various deletion pages that get no keep votes. These clear cases sit right beside the cases which are not so clear and make it very time-consuming to find the cases that need to be debated. A more efficient way of dealing with clear cases is necessary so that the other cases can get their fair share of constructive discussion.

The solution
What we need is a way to separate the clear cases from the not-so-clear cases, so that people who patrol the deletion pages only have to look at the not-so-clear cases and can ignore the clear cases. The people who have a candidate on their watch-list will notice its nomination and should be the first to contest the nomination. If there are no contesters there is no need to waste the time of patrollers on these candidates. This proposal describes a way this can be done.

Why this works

 * There is little reason to suspect that if this proposal becomes policy, all of a sudden, clear cases start getting a keep vote.
 * Patrollers don't have to look at uncontested cases, saving them time (and annoyance).

Proposal
I propose to divide the deletion process into two stages. The aim is to keep unanimous candidates in stage 1 (waiting), while delegating controversial ones to stage 2 (voting).

Definitions

 * candidate := an article/object which is a candidate for deletion, because it has been nominated
 * patroller := a user who regularly looks at the nomination on a deletion page

Stage 1 (waiting)

 * This is where candidates enter. No need to patrol.

 * There is no voting in stage 1. Instead anyone may move a candidate to stage 2 (and vote to keep).
 * Candidates that remain after 7 or more days may be deleted.

Stage 2 (voting)

 * Candidates can only arrive here from stage 1, from where they may be moved by anyone.

Stage 2 is the voting stage. All articles arriving here have one (nomination) vote to delete and one (disagree) vote to keep. Thus they are not candidates that would otherwise have a unanimous vote against them. Discussion and voting proceeds as usual.
 * After 7 days or more, discussion and votes may be archived and proper action taken.

How it works
Stage 1 need not be patrolled. Instead people who have a candidate on their watch-list will notice its nomination and claim the candidate (move it to stage 2) if they think it is worthy. Patrollers are only needed for stage 2. The reasoning is that if some articles don't get any keep votes in the current process, then also in this new process some articles won't move out of stage 1, thus saving patrollers the time to investigate the clear cases.

Number of days and votes
The number of days a candidate stays in stage 1, in stage 2 and the number of votes mentioned in the extension are just suggestions and very debatable.

Related proposals

 * Unlike Preliminary Deletion by Johnleemk (with alternative 1) by Jens Ropers, there is no additional category of candidates, instead the deletion process is staged.
 * Another similar proposal is at Wikipedia_talk:Deletion_policy/Reducing_VfD_load by Radiant!(?). The objections at Wikipedia_talk:Deletion_policy/Reducing_VfD_load suggest that some people want to look also at everything that is in stage 1. For these people the only option is to reduce the number of nominations. That is an entirely different remedy to the same problem, but not an argument against improving the efficiency of the process of deletion.

Talk:Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Discussion Archives
Talk Page Archive until December 25th, 2008

White Washing
I changed the wording around in the motorcycle rallies section. please feel free to edit. the text seem very pro myrtle beach. Also the stating an end date of the white bike week 1940 to 2008 make the article appear to say the rally is over. the rally took place in 2009 and this year, but with limited numbers. I removed 2008 and changed the number to As high as 200,000. Also 200,000 people didn't come each year since 1940, the number just reached those highs a few years ago, in 1940 it start with less then a few hundred. I also add the highs for black bike week "400,000".

I also change some pro myrtle beach text concerning the stopping of motorcycle rallies. the text seem to say that the government canceled the rallies. the government pass 15 new laws in an attempt to stop the rallies. People come to SC to ride free "i.e. with no helmets", the helmet law was created to discourage motorcycle riders from coming, but legally the government cannot stop motorcycle riding tourist from freely traveling to the city 'even though the helmet law did stop a lot of bikers, but not all". The nature of both motorcycle rallies is something unique. neither rallies were organized by governments or institution, they are both headless, mob like, word of mouth events where bikers just show up.  the events have no head so it's not really possible to cancel either event, the 15 ordinance where created to basically hassle and piss the bikers off so they wouldn't come "and they worked", but Myrtle Beach cannot legally cancel either events "that's why they created the laws"  with that being said the text should say discourage bikers from coming, not canceling motorcycle rallies.

Also the text doesn't state that myrtle beach was pro white bike week, but against black bike week, and myrtle beach made attempts to stop the black bike week "through harassment and traffic patterns, while supporting white bike week "not harassing and different traffic pattern" this is why the NAACP sued myrtle beach and other businesses that refused to serve black bike week visitors by closing their doors "but putting welcome sign up during white bike week"  This part doesn't need to be in the article. but myrtle beach canceled white bike week solely because it had to cause it couldn't solely discriminate against black bike week "i.e. white bike week just fell under the umbrella of the 15 new laws"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.35.93 (talk) 06:58, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Pictures
While I have tried to make significant upgrades to the page, it desperately needs some pictures of local attractions. I added some with permission but they were removed. Could someone add some of their own or something? As for Hard Rock Park....it re-opens by Memorial Day. Why remove references to that?ChrisJsc (talk)

The first photo in the Tourism section is captioned "Myrtle Beach in the morning, photographed on July 16, 2012 from the ninth floor of a beachfront resort hotel" while the photo description says "I took photo from ninth floor of a hotel of the beach in early morning at Myrtle Beach, SC, using Canon camera". Not only is it clearly nor early morning it self evidently wasn't taken from the ninth floor of anything except perhaps an anthill. 80.189.38.197 (talk) 18:01, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Current Issues
The Myrtle Beach article still has some major issues:
 * Expand Sections -- Many sections tend to be a sentence or two, if that. Two new sections, Religion and Parks and Rec., need special attention
 * Verify and Diversify History -- The History section still lacks a lot of information about the area and still relies on a few basic sources.
 * Images -- The article is still very dry and each section deserves at least one image. The religion section could use, say, a picture of a local historic church, and I'm sure there are more than a few pictures of parks or, say, the beach.

Some issues that seem to have died down:
 * Advertising -- The disclaimer at the start of the article, coupled with a more atmospheric, less "advertising land grab" feel, seems to have killed off some of the more frequent advertisements. Carson (talk)

NPOV, Summary Style and Black Bike Week
I appreciate the desire to clean this article up and tighten up the prose, but reducing the description of the two motorcycle rallies to only two sentences is a gross violation of WP:NPOV. The guidelines in Summary style provide help on how to properly summarize the contents of a related article. Summary style explains that a certain amount of redundancy between two articles is to be expected.It's of particular concern that this article has been expunged of negative and controversial information. Whenever you create a situation where all the negative information is offloaded to another article, you risk creating a POV fork.A neutral article about Myrtle Beach needs to inform readers not only that there were two motorcycle rallies, but why there are two racially divided rallies. Further, the policy of prohibiting all rallies rather than treat them equally is related to historical examples of closing public accommodations or canceling events in the South rather than integrate them. And since there are at least two major factions within Myrtle Beach -- a city government opposed to rallies and a group of merchants who favor them -- the policy of NPOV requires that both points of view be included. Similarly, there are points of view favoring and opposing the helmet law in Myrtle Beach. While the old paragraph on the bike rallies was far from perfect, it was better than leaving the controversey out completely. Until a better version is written which includes a balanced mention of all the issues, good and bad, and all sides of the issue, then the old paragraph needs to be restored. --Dbratland (talk) 18:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Concise rather wordiness
My edit has nothing to do with hiding this controversy. I appreciate the fact that you are a motorcycle enthusiast but this article is about Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and not so much Bike Week or Black Bike Week. A large percent of this article should not be usurped for use by a section of little importance to the majority of users.

If the editor wishes to discuss the issues involving the two motorcycle weeks then feel free to start article(s) with that limited focus as Myrtle Beach is more defined than what happens 2-3 weeks every year. Perhaps referencing the unfortunate racial issues in the history section in the concise nature that this project expects.

It is obvious that one can note the bike rallies in a concise nature and then link to your new articles about the controversy. My edit was in no means perfect but at least it moves the article along to the next point and does not wallow in the minutia of a single issue.

As per helmet laws. There are already numerous helmet law articles on Wikipedia that an interested user can still reference. That is again far too narrow of focus on a broad article such as this. Why not reference Myrtle Beach's litter laws? Or strip club regulations? Or Curfew laws?

Fryeguy (talk) 19:10, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Your arguments have no basis in Wikipedia policy. Specifically WP:Summary style and WP:NPOV contradict you.  Motorcycling issues are not required to be kept away from articles about cities, and helmet law issues aren't only discussed on articles about helmet laws.  The helmet law question in this case is a dispute between factions in Myrtle Beach and in South Carolina, and it's unique as far as I know -- no other locality I have heard of has used helmet laws as a way of driving away motorcyclists (or black people), as many contend.  It's a Myrtle Beach issue.  Business Owners Organized to Save Tourism is a local group that was created to oppose the city government's "selective tourism" -- anti-motorcycle or anti-African American, depending on whom you ask.  The disputes that take place in Myrtle Beach politics belong without a doubt in this article.Again, please read WP:Summary style.  Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is not too long by any stretch of the imagination and so you can't say there isn't room. The policy guidance makes clear that the major issues related to Myrtle Beach detailed in Black Bike Week ought to be fairly summarized here.A careful reading of WP:NPOV tells us that the article must include these controversies, the court battles, and multiple points of view should be included.  This is an encyclopedia article, not a tourist advertisement, and if some of the facts make the city look bad, so be it.A shorter summary is perfectly acceptable, but the summary has to include the good with the bad and not whitewash the story.--Dbratland (talk) 19:42, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

 * This edit brings an acceptable level of balance, I think. I would probably have wanted a bit more detail and specific references, but I won't keep harping on it.--Dbratland (talk) 02:15, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I take that back. This nonsense edit made me realize that this needs to have a full summary of what the issues were, who was involved, and what the outcome was.  Just saying there was some kind of racial controversy obscures the fact that the city and many businesses were embroiled in lawsuits over discrimination against blacks.  The city's attempt to end both rallies was in response to that.  Copious independent sources, as well as press releases from the various parties involved, verify this.--Dbratland (talk) 17:01, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Neutrality tag going once, going twice...

Education Section Updated
I have updated the education section both college/post secondary and private adding 6 private schools, adding Miller-Motte Tech College to the post secondary section and adding that the Webster University campus is the Myrtle Beach Metropolitan Campus. MBGuyCasey (talk) 08:07, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation
The IPA looks unlikely - primary stress on a schwa; "ʊr" followed by a consonant - is this correct? Peter James (talk) 09:09, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It isn't. I literally just copy/pasted what looked appropriate at the time (I don't exactly "speak" IPA), so if you can improve upon it, please do! Carson (talk) 21:57, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Thong bikini ban
I have added this small subsection to make note of Myrtle Beach's ban on thong bikinis (with references to Myrtle Beach laws page, a Myrtle Beach site, and a news station). Such a ban is very rare in the United States and persons arrested under the ban have received widespread news coverage.

However this small subsection has already been removed several times.

Whether or not the ban is appropriate or where it applies is up to the people of Myrtle Beach. Whether or not someone should be arrested is up to the Myrtle Beach police. Whether or not the ban is constitutional is up to the courts. Whether or not we mention it in this Myrtle Beach article is up to the Wikipedia community.

Happy Independence Day! Facts707 (talk) 07:34, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
 * now that a secondary reliable source has been added, I won't be removing it again for now. However, the year old story indicated that the city was planning on repealing the ordinance and it stated that it was identical to the state's ordinance.  So, sorry, I am still questioning its value in this article. John from Idegon (talk) 07:45, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Last week yet another otherwise innocent woman, acrobat and aerial performer Sam Panda, ran afoul of the thong ban, got detained for 20 minutes and even placed in handcuffs! If anyone wants to update the main article, here's 2 links:

Regarding the edit I made on 02:09, 5 June 2018
According to User:John from Idegon, the recent 2018 US News finding (Myrtle Beach ranked the #1 destination to move to in 2018) I added to the introduction is "Improper content for lede. may be appropriate elsewhere". An alternative approach would be to add a separate section within the main article titled "Rankings" or something related, and to include my edits in that section.

However, I must kindly disagree. Look at the Wikipedia pages for other major cities (San Francisco, New York City, Austin), and one can note similar mentions about US News and other rankings in the introduction section. For example, the introduction for Denver, Colorado states "In 2016, Denver was named the best place to live in the United States by U.S. News & World Report."

Nobody has raised any issue with this practice in these pages, therefore, I find it reasonable to apply this to the Myrtle Beach page.

I hope this facilitates a respectful discussion about this finding and hopefully reach a consensus amongst interested users. I hope we can eventually reincorporate the changes I made (which cited a reliable source, US News), even if it appears elsewhere in the article. Thoughts? 47.185.106.248 (talk) 02:50, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

 * See WP:LEDE for what a lede should contain. See WP:OSE for an explanation of how the Wikipedia community stands on arguments to precident. And I'd strongly oppose a separate section based on WP:USCITY and WP:WEIGHT. Basically what we have is a unscientific pop poll. These polls promotional value far outweighs their informative value. We have a pillar policy about promotion, WP:NOTPROMO. John from Idegon (talk) 03:07, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the links. But I still have to disagree. The practices in the other cities' pages that I mentioned allow for the inclusion of notable information without sounding promotional, and adhere to the pillar policy, so I don't see how mine differed. The links you posted do not invalidate my point. 47.185.106.248 (talk) 03:52, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Arguments to precident are seldom persuasive, and they are not here. John from Idegon (talk) 04:05, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
