Talk:England women's national football team

Untitled
Hope this is a helpful start (based on fr:%C3%89quipe_d%27Angleterre_de_football_f%C3%A9minin. I'll try to improve it a bit myself... Rnt20 21:47, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh god -- the English language football infoboxes look a nightmare. I think I'll quit for tonight! Rnt20 21:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've added the current squad as I found it on the offical website. Th e  Halo (talk) 14:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Dates?
The page states the team's finishing positions in international tournaments held in 1969, 1970 and 1971, but the infobox gives the date of the team's first international as 1972.....? - ChrisTheDude 12:36, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the 1972 date refers to the first official international match. Exactly what counts as official, I don't know. --StuartBrady (Talk) 15:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Crest picture
The crest pictured in the infobox confuses me, does the team actually wear that crest (with the single star above)? Or is that just a copy from the men's team? For those who don't know what I'm talking about, national teams usually wear a star for each World Cup championship, and the England women's team have never won. --Xyzzyva 17:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Olympics
Do they compete?andycjp (talk) 05:46, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe in women's football it's a much more prestigious event, perhaps even up there with the World Cup. I'll try and find the past results... Yohan euan o4 (talk) 18:53, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No, they can't compete because England doesn't have a NOC (Britain does), and Scotland/Wales/NI are unwilling to compromise their status as a national team. Yohan euan o4 (talk) 19:02, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Not the case for the men's team where an English side will take part representing Great Britain and Northern Ireland for the 2012 games, so I'm assuming that the same will be possible for the women's team. Otherwise, it's true, they don't normally compete 8lgm (talk) 08:33, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Updates
I love the improvements to this article @User:Fuebaey - just some small suggestions: The names of the first goalscorers aren't in the source given and the November 2014 match was the first at new Wembley but not Wembley per se (Carolina Morace once scored four goals there against England). Kerry Davis and Hope Powell should be in the top goalscorer's list - and maybe Linda Curl, for all anyone knows - we're obviously jarring up against WP:OR a bit here! Thanks again for your great work. 94.0.26.47 (talk) 21:31, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Appreciate the feedback. It's my first major article overhaul - any suggestions are welcome - though still a work in progress, so please bear with me. Looking to research, then write (pushing myself to do this instead of lurking) and then attribute, which may explain why not everything is sourced at the moment. My next aim is to expand the early years under Powell and then start a section about team image (i.e. colours/stadium/managers) like other national teams.
 * The BBC reference mentions that Sylvia Gore scored the first England goal in that match but there's some debate about who scored the other goals; some state Pat Davies scored both, others attribute a goal to Jeannie Allott. I haven't yet found a reliable source for them so I'll replace the end of that sentence the next chance I get. The Wembley match points to the article for the new stadium but I can clarify that further (read somewhere that Gillian Coultard also got a cap for playing at the old stadium). Player records are mainly based on media reports (as far as I'm aware the FA doesn't maintain an online statistic database, unlike the DFB), so there may be some discrepancy. If I can source their goal tallies I'll add them. Fuebaey (talk) 13:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations
Congratulations on making it to today's listing on the "Did You Know..." section of Wikipedia Main Page. The process of making it the listing takes a bit of effort and involves the quick cooperation of many editors. All involved deserve recognition, appreciation, thanks and applause.

Kelly Smith also what?
"Players" section's subsection "Player records" has this strange sentence: Smith has also scored the highest number of goals for England, with 46 over a twenty year international career.

But Kelly Smith is not mentioned elsewhere in the article, except tables and sources. Infobox has her as the best goalscorer and above table as a "recent callup", but that's it. Seems that something has been removed from that chapter, since currently it doesn't make sense. 82.141.119.103 (talk) 01:55, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Potential Errors in Caps, Goals, and Recent Callups
The squad section has not been updated regularly, so there may be players missing and errors in caps & goals. (e.g., 2016 SheBelieves Cup squad may include players that were not called up for later matches, but because no one was actively maintaining it they could be missed.) Any source, etc., where someone could check for the accuracy of info listed here? mightytotems (talk) 18:24, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Yellow cards in summaries
It is not normal in these summaries (for most major nations), nor inherently notable, to list Yellow Cards in matches. There has been some discussion and consensus on this in Wiki Project football in the past. This practice appears to have commenced only in the past few months. Whether the FA reports yellow cards as standard, and whether Wikipedia collects this information, are different things. Matilda Maniac (talk) 12:42, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Ella Toone
Why is Ella Toone classed as a midfielder, she plays as a forward for United. Even the FA shouldn't be trusted as a reliable source for this seen as they call her a forward and midfielder in the same article. Mn1548 (talk) 17:20, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Ella Toone is a versatile player capable of playing as a midfielder and as a forward. Her Wikipedia page describes her as an attacking midfielder. Mattstan (talk) 17:50, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Julie Aberg Robison

 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 No consensus -> Keep Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:44, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Julie Aberg Robison
Only notable as a town councillor. NatusRoma 21:49, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep we have many articles on city councillors (Category:Toronto city councillors alone has 60) and they are a valuable part of the encyclopedia. If you want to reopen this debate please revive Deletion policy/Local politicians rather than debating councillors one ar a time. - SimonP 00:17, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * I hardly intended to force another policy discussion by listing these articles. I only listed them as twelve different pages because past discussions on the VfD Talk page seemed to discourage bulk listing, and I only listed them at all because I happened to come across Jack W. Smith while sorting people stubs. To consider your example of the Toronto City Council, it seems to me that there is an order-of-magnitude difference between that council and the one on which Ms. Robison sits. Cary, North Carolina has just under 100,000 people, while Toronto has 2.48 million. I have not visited either municipality, but Toronto is far more important than Cary, a significance extended to its elected officials. Moreover, the subjects of articles in the Toronto council category have, in some cases, served in that body for decades, or have run for national office, or have done other, additional newsworthy things. Ms. Robison, by contrast, has served in her office for only a few years, and has done nothing additionally newsworthy. NatusRoma 06:52, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete — Insufficient notability as a politician. — RJH 19:57, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Member of the governing body of a town of over 100,000 people, and elected at-large by a constituency of the same size. -- Seth Ilys 01:36, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete there are thousands of them.  Grue   09:28, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable to the world at large. --Xcali 20:13, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * keep, locally notable, coverage of local politics is a valuable part of wikipedia. Kappa 21:27, 11 Jun 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 .

User talk:Lmatt

Categorizing
I noticed you Category:Feminism and transgender from the TERF article via my watchlist. Just letting you know that there is an active discussion about that and probably should let that discussion close before implementing changes.

I also want to let you know that some of your recategorizations have implications you might not have understood. Like when you make a separate category of separate category for trans folks and from Category:Pejorative terms for women and add them to Category:Pejorative_terms_for_trans_women, it has a heavy implication that trans women aren't women. While we probably should have the categories for slurs about trans people, they should likely overlap, not be separate from, other categories. Currently, the categorization might put structural inequality into Wikipedia's data structures. Caution is recommended.

Probably best to use Categories for discussion to discuss and perhaps gain consensus with more controversial categories.  Gwen Hope  (talk) (contrib) 20:37, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Category:Pejorative terms for trans women is a subcategory of Category:Pejorative terms for women, so removal of the category is consistent with WP:SUBCAT and was not intended to imply that trans women aren't women. Lmatt (talk) 20:42, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Regardless Lmatt, should probably wait until that above discussion results in consensus before switching around Category:Feminism and transgender and Category:Trans-exclusionary radical feminism stuff.  Gwen Hope  (talk) (contrib) 20:46, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Unlawfully killed people

A tag has been placed on Category:Unlawfully killed people requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Category:Categories by parameter
I have proposed deleting Category:Categories by biographer. Please see Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_November_6. – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:18, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

On the same page I have now also proposed reinstating Category:Categories by parameter, and merging the new Category:Categories by noun categorization and Category:Categories by adjectival categorization.

There is often a benefit in bringing a category restructuring proposal to WP:CFD (e.g. for a "split"), or to a talk page such as WT:CAT, rather than making such wide-ranging changes on your own. Wisdom is found in many counsellors. Changing longstanding categories out-of-process is generally frowned upon, as a bad example to newbies, and may be viewed as disruptive. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:10, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of ISO 5

The article ISO 5 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar.

Spasm band

A spasm band is a musical group that plays a variety of Dixieland, trad jazz, jug band, or skiffle music.

The term "spasm" applied to any band (often made up of children) who made musical instruments out of objects not usually employed for such. The first spasm bands were formed on the streets of New Orleans in the late eighteen hundreds, with both styles spreading rapidly along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers to Baton Rouge, Memphis, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Louisville and Cincinnati, with jug bands being essentially spasm bands that incorporated a jug player "to handle the bass parts".

The earliest band to play under the name "spasm band" in New Orleans was formed in 1895, known informally as Stale Bread's Spasm Band and billed as the Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band at semi-professional engagements, such as outside the West End Opera House. They played, amongst other things, a length of gas pipe, a kettle and a fiddle made from a cigar box.

The spasm band style was one ingredient in the development of instrumental New Orleans jazz. Contemporaries report that the style was imitated by adult orchestras such as the Right At 'Em Razz Band, which featured future Original Dixieland Jass Band clarinetist Alcide Nunez.

The term "spasm band" has been revived by jazz groups the Barnstormers Spasm Band, The Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band, The End Times Spasm Band, and Anthony Joseph and The Spasm Band. The term was also adopted by noise group The Nihilist Spasm Band.

Transwiki
That's wrong, it wasn't transwikied. -- Amtiss, SNAFU ? 21:01, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Clarification and consistency
Article needed a serious improvement to grammar. Also, comparing the Diplom to the Bachelors and Masters system is very difficult. This is the entire reasoning behind the Bologna Process. Article needed clarification on this issue, i.e. Bachelors degrees cannot be generalized as they vary from country to country in terms of years to attainment. To solve this discrepancy, the example of the U.S. (and the English-speaking world) was added to the chart in the article. Here the minimum requirement is four years. InfoAgent ( contribs ) 08:00, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

In regards to reverts made by an anonymous IP concerning the Abitur, it really has no place in this article as it has nothing to do with university study or the "diplom." The chart in this article is meant to be a very rough comparison of university systems internationally. Furthermore, it should only include university study. The GPAs and SATs in the US are comparable to the German Abitur, so the inclusion of the Abitur is really irrelevant on the chart. Lastly, by no means can the Abitur be translated into two years of university study. This should really not become a revert war. InfoAgent ( contribs ) 05:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

 * You don't understand the system. The Abitur is not a test. It is a study period similar to the first two general years of the US Bachelor. With the Abitur you don't start with the first but in a higher semester in US. You can remove the two general years from the US Bachelor or leave the Abitur where it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.215.51 (talk • contribs) 00:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

 * No! The issue here is that this article concerns the “Diplom” (only) which is part of university study in several European countries (and NOT only Germany!). The Abitur in Germany falls under secondary schooling and it culminates in a test (yes, it is also a test FYI). Also I cannot understand your explanation grammatically. Please try to improve on your use of English so that one can understand your argument. Also, if you are having trouble with the definition of Abitur please see the Wikipedia page for it here. Please also see What Wikipedia is Not. Remember to use a four tidles (~) to sign every post. InfoAgent 07:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry InfoAgent, but I think your excuses are very embarrassing. One can clearly understand what he means. Students with A-Levels or Abitur start in USA in a higher semester and not the first. Therefore it is clearly part of university studies if you compare it with an US Bachelor. By the way the Abitur does NOT culminate in a test. See the corresponding article in wikipedia or better look in the German wikipedia. Sacrumi 15:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Embarassing? What? Wikipedia is not a place for personal attacks or for trying to prove a point. Again please see What Wikipedia is Not if you are having trouble. Based on the language problem again I believe that this is the same user as before. I still do not completely understand what you are trying to say but please do not continue to argue that the Abitur is university study because that would be futile. I believe what you are trying to say refers to transfer credits but that applies to US students as well. For example, high school students can take an AP exam for college credit but that does not mean AP courses are part of university study, you see? Whatever your argument, the Abitur does not pass as two years in the chart or as part of university study. This is completely unfounded and not even cited. Please try to understand how this works. InfoAgent 17:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

 * You started with personal attacks against the IP. I pointed that out in my previous discussion. If you have problems understanding correct English - don't blame other ones for it. I remove now the American Bachelor because it is obvious that it is not comparable (at least not with people like you who are not able to research information). You may start with the American Bachelor a Master-program in Europe, but most likely you will have to do some undergraduate studies before you can apply for a Master (3 years specialized studies vs. 2 years in the US). Sacrumi 05:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Correct English? Need I say more? You just proved my point for me! InfoAgent 16:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Again InfoAgent. I gave you the sources (the below). So my proposal: It does not make sense to add the US Bachelor because this is not the purpose of this article. It is just a comparison between the study time with the new and the old degrees in Germany. NOTHING else! I don't want to see the African Bachelor or the Russian Bachelor or whatever Bachelor. It makes no sense. Hope you are so intelligent to understand this. I mean you can't even compare the different study times, because even in America you can do your Bachelor in 3 or even in 2 years if you do some advance courses at High School. This is in Abitur or A-Levels NOT possible even if the courses have university-level (I know several people with Abitur who have advance standing at (good) US colleges - If you have doubt ask your college). Hint: If you want information you can get it from www.daad.de (you can view the information in simple English). Sacrumi 11:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Sacrumi, I thought I’d help you out since you are so confident in your “English skills” and give you a few pointers.

Your wrote in grammatically incorrect English:

You started with personal attacks against the IP. I pointed that out in my previous discussion. If you have problems understanding correct English - don't blame other ones for it. I remove now the American Bachelor because it is obvious that it is not comparable (at least not with people like you who are not able to research information). You may start with the American Bachelor a Master-program in Europe, but most likely you will have to do some undergraduate studies before you can apply for a Master (3 years specialized studies vs. 2 years in the US). Sacrumi 05:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

You should have written the following in proper English:

You are the one who began the personal attacks against the anonymous IP address. Don’t blame others if you can’t understand proper English. I am going to remove the US version of the Bachelors from the chart because the two degrees are not comparable. Students from the US can start a Masters program in Europe with only a Bachelors degree...(don’t understand the rest)

The latter is the correct version, which is understandable. In terms of content, what you are saying is, unfortunately, absolutely ridiculous. There is no way that you could start any Masters program in the US (or Europe, for that matter) without a Bachelors degree (i.e. the process follows: undergraduate and then graduate). Please don’t be so confident in your knowledge and “research abilities” if you really don’t have a good command of the English language and know little about the US education system because it really shows.

Finally, stop reverting the "diplom" article and being a Troll. Instead, try to make some valuable contributions to English Wikipedia. So far you have only taken hostage of this article, you have removed credible information, and have not even provided citations (or any evidence) to support your revisions.

My advice: stick to the German Wikipedia. Sincerely InfoAgent 16:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I am sorry. I am not German. I suggested you a peace-offer, but you absolutely ignoring the new version. I don't start insulting you as you did. You don't know anyhing about the European education system. I have never said that you can start a Masterprogram without a Bachelor (although there are well-known exceptions in Germany and England. For example Oxford which offers a Masterdegree after 4-5 years of studies without obtaining a Bachelor). The German Government has an agreement with the US and the Australian Government that you can start a Master after Vordiplom and 1-2 Semester studies in Hauptstudium). I know more about the US education system then you might think. However, just say something about the peace-offer and please don't start insulting me again with ridiculous arguments. Please read the new text before reverting.

Although it is out of scope of the article, because the article is just a comparison of the old degrees and new degrees in Germany: http://germany.usembassy.gov/germany/exchanges/study.html Sacrumi 23:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Sac, I don't quite understand, if you are neither German nor American, then why do you pretend to be such an expert on the US and German education systems? I happen to be both. This whole thing seems rather awkward, don't you think? Anyways, this was never a war (as you may have thought) but merely a difference of opinion. There is no need for offering "peace" or "truces" because I am a good faith contributor. Furthermore, I think that if you use Wikipedia more often and contribute more on a regular basis, then you will find that this happens quite commonly between users. I would, however, suggest that you move on from this issue and try to experiment with other articles because, as of now, you are only a Troll with an agenda to hijack and take hostage of the diplom article (that is not my opinion but it is what your contributions clearly depict to other users). So, in the end, try to read up on the guidelines a little more and move on to newer and better topics.

 * But back to the issue, again, you are removing credible information (including citations) from this article and offering none in return (in the article). I took the liberty of looking at the above link, but it only reinforces the structure of the comparison chart. Your source states: The typical academic degree earned by American students is the “Bachelor of Arts” (BA) or respectively the “Bachelor of Science” (BS). These degrees are awarded following the completion of four years of studies...Those who decide to pursue their education further can earn a Master of Arts or Master of Science, respectively, in one to two years.  InfoAgent 04:31, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Dear InfoAgent. Thanks for your insults again. Why do you think you are an expert (In your words: Give me a proof)? I provide you a link where it is clearly stated that you are wrong. The source is the US Embassy. Back to topic. I want a clear answer: The article is about comparing old German degrees (Diplom) with new German/European Degrees (Bachelor/Master). How fit the US Bachelor there??? If you have a convincing argument please tell it to me and the community. As I proofed (US Embassy:http://germany.usembassy.gov/germany/exchanges/study.html) the US Bachelor is equal to a three year Bachelor in Europe so that should be in the timeline or you should add the High School and Abitur in there. Quotation from http://germany.usembassy.gov/germany/exchanges/study.html

''Common Classification of German Students into the US System Graduate/Master's/Professional ''
 * Fachhochschulreife/Abitur > Undergraduate/Bachelor's
 * während des Fachhochschulstudiums > Undergraduate/Bachelor's
 * weniger als 6 Semester Universität > Undergraduate/Bachelor's
 * Fachhochschuldiplom > Undergraduate/Bachelor's oder Graduate/Master's
 * 6 Semester Universität plus Vordiplom/Zwischenprüfung > Bachelor
 * Universitätsabschluss (Diplom, Magister, Staatsexamen> Graduate/Master's/Professional/Ph.D.
 * Universitätsabschluss (Bachelor)> Undergraduate/Graduate/Master's/Professional

Your version of the article is definitely wrong and your source doesn't proof your point. In fact it says the systems are so different that you can't compare them. Your argumentation is poor and you just want to fight (Because you don't answer my statements). The link clearly states: 2 years of Study (Vordiplom) + 1 year of study (Hauptstudium) > BA or BS. To my experience: I have studied in Spain, Germany and in the US (I think I have a good knowledge of the systems). Sacrumi 08:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I suggest that this issue not become an edit war. If either of you have a problem, please take it to mediation or start an RfC. I would also remind Sacrumi of civility. Please do not revert this article again. aNubiSIII ( T /  C ) 19:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear: I did not start reverting. I added information and InfoAgent revert them every time. Proves can be found at the US ministry of education, university/college homepages in the US as well as German wikipedia and Germany's ministry of education. Sacrumi 05:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

--

I guess most of controversy in the discussion above arises from a failure of communication. What Sacrumi and others were trying to point out and InfoAgent failed to understand is not exactly that the German Abitur or the British A-Levels are part of university studies, but rather that Abitur or A-Levels are actually an academic qualification that is considered roughly equivalent to at least one year of college study in the US. That is so basically because German and UK students normally enter university one year later than their American counterparts, effectively having the equivalent of a "13th grade" in High School. 161.24.19.82 19:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Suggestions
I'd suggest, before this turns into an edit war, that both parties stop and discuss things a little further on the talk page before making edits to the article. Be aware of the three-revert rule, but also be aware that 3 reverts are not an entitlement and the purpose of the rule is to prevent back-and-forth editing. I think both parties could stand to back off and be a little more civil with each other. I'd suggest proposing concrete, sample changes to the article here, on the talk page, and going through them to try and reach consensus. If that proves impossible, I'd suggest a third opinion or a request for outside comments on the issue; such steps are outlined in the dispute resolution policy. If things degenerate into further name-calling and edit-warring, then sanctions are likely to be applied indiscriminately, to the detriment of the article. MastCell Talk 15:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Third Opinion
MastCell is completely correct on this and I also strongly suggest that both parties should refrain from further editing of this article. Edit wars which turn uncivil are simply counterproductive to the principles of Wikipedia. In terms of the issue itself, I read through the arguments on both sides and I find that this is somewhat of a controversial issue. Simply put, it is difficult to compare degrees across countries when the systems are so different. I’m sure that both parties would agree. In order to clean things up a bit, I reverted the article to its original form before the edit war began and either part made any changes. I removed the most recent edits by Sacrumi because the wording appears kind of off and it isn’t exactly clear. It’s also best to stay away from statements like “for more information, see…” I did, however, leave in the references provided by both parties. I hope that both InfoAgent and Sacrumi  can agree to these changes in good faith. Again, I strongly advise both parties not to edit this article until consensus has been reached. In addition, BOTH parties should remember their civility when addressing each other on talk pages. Appropriate measures which can be taken are starting a RfC and, subsequently, moving towards a request for mediation if the RfC proves futile. aNubiSIII ( T /  C ) 20:39, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Article update
I have linked the articles Bachelor/Master in this article. The articles Bachelor and Master contain already a comparison of the degrees, so I see no point in doing it here again. I really see no point in comparing degrees in time, because if you want to do this, you have to consider the whole educational "lifecycle" (primary school, secondary school, university...). For example, students from Germany/Europe learn already subjects in school which in US are taught at colleges/school (might be that European students generally attend school longer). In university they only focus on one subject and do no general studies any more. In US students do two year of general studies and only two years where they focus on one subject. I really don't know how you want to compare this and what the point of that is. Maybe someone can explain that. I think the article should also mention that it is only about regular study time. In some disciplines in Germany (Engineering, Computer Science, Science...) the students usually need longer to obtain their degrees, because the level is very high. That is the same in other countries. Sacrumi 05:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

In Germany, it is said...
that in the U.S., Diploma Studies like in Germany are introduced because it seems that the Bachelor/Master system has too many disadvantages...; is that correct? I couldnt find anything in the Web, but i`ld like to verify this. (I live and study in Germany, and here, lots of People don´t like the Bachelor/Master System which is introduced because of the "Bologna Process") --89.49.130.103 (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Abstract: It is impossible to prove that something does not exist by absence of proof. So you need a lemma for that and Ockham's razor does just that. Back to the topic: The whole point of the Bologna process was to unify those different systems. It does not make any sense for the US to go the other way. So, dislike the BA/MS system as much as you like, it is here to stay. I know it sucks for people caught in the transition period, but after that it only has advantages Tierlieb (talk) 20:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * In Germany people talk a lot. Most do not respect that high school is one year longer in Germany, than in the US. This is why a US Bachelor's is 4 years while a German Bachelor's is about 3 years. So some ppl say that in the US a BS/MS accelerated program is only 5 years (similar to the Diplom) but in fact that would be more like 4 years when considering the shorter High School. Another advantage is that the Diplom guarantees you have a full curriculum of a high-level University, excluding you used credits from some easy low-level college (Fachhochschule, FH). It's more like a quality seal than an advantage. The BS/MS degrees do not guarantee this anymore, you can attend a FH for your BS and then easily transfer to a high-level University to earn your MS (There is no strict selection process for this transfer yet).

Problems with the durations in the table for Germany/Austria
With this version[] I introduced two ways to the doctor title when starting out with a "Diplom (FH)". Of course, my point was to show that this might be a bit unfair (the first way was one year less than the university way, one was one years longer), which might explain the bologna process. Now User:Dreamtyp changed that table by adding two years of "additional course work" [] (and messing up my pretty layout I am so proud of, but that has been fixed ;-)). This change makes it appear as if it had been properly regulated before bologna. Now I wonder what to do with the data presented there. I'd say my interpretation is the right one, because imho that is the official way and I cannot find any official document mandating the two additional years. I also know from my own experiences that you have to jump through a lot of hoops if you want to become a doctor with a FH-diploma. That may amount to two additional years. But that depends on where you get you try to get your doctor title... so I guess someone else should decide this. Tierlieb (talk) 22:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The table is correct the way it is, on my opinion. If you have an FH degree (it's running out), you need a "1.5" grade, which is an "excellent" mark, to start the doctorate. The first 1-2 years you will spend them with additional coursework and a 6-month thesis ("Eignungsprüfung"), the load depends on the university.
 * I have a problem with the 3 years duration for the doctorate: The average is about 6 years in Germany. 3 years are an exception, that only apply to an "Industriepromotion" (thesis written in a company instead a university) and some majors (physics and math). All engineers and humanities students need much longer than 3 years! 70% need 5 years (see http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~jmoes/pide/Material/promovieren-mit-perspektive-vortrag-sylt.pdf). Jfs718 --138.246.7.137 (talk) 12:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

German Qualifications
The swedish naric, the högskoleverket definitely compare the German Diplom as a Licentiate Degree, corresponding to a Bachelor. Neither the U.K. nor the Republic of Ireland has joint Qrossroads http://www.qrossroads.eu/about-qrossroads/partners and it counts what the University of Aberystwyth is leaking out namely that in the U.K. the German/Austrian Diplom corresponds to a Bachelor. The assessment process in the U.K. involves a fee and the details are dependent upon individual cases. But the rules of thumb are given on that website! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.136.141.172 (talk) 12:46, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

-- I did find the information about the recognition of the German Diplom by the University of Aberystwyth on their website. However, I was unable to find the required information on the hompage of the högskoleverket. Maybe you can set a new link? The link you provided doesn't seem to work. Regards, --89.126.86.116 (talk) 22:21, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Diplom(BA) and Diplom(FH)
I removed the claim by the IP 77.4.200.128 that the Diplom(BA) is in Germany equated to the Diplom(FH). Apart from that I'm not sure if it is relevant, it is certainly wrong if stated that generally. What is correct is that public employers usually (but this might differ between German states) equate these two kind of diploma in terms of qualification and salary. But I strongly doubt that every private employer does this. And clearly, both diploma are very different. After all, the Diplom(FH) is an academic degree, the Diplom(BA) is not. Furher, the Diplom(FH) is a 4-year degree, usually involving one internship of some months. The programme to achieve a Diplom(BA) takes only 3 years, and, as far as I know, consists to almost 50% of internships. This certainly cannot be compared in general. 89.126.37.67 (talk) 03:56, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

NOKUT
Stop deleting the entries for Norway. You are not the Norwegian authority who does the decisions and the Norwegian statistical office has no claims whatsoever to recognise degrees. Do not involve yourself into the decisions of other nations. The same in Sweden, where the Diplom is tantamount to a Bachelor degree according to the högskoleveverket and again it is the Swedish authorities who make these decisions and not you. As a stakeholder, I have dealt with these authorities and you have not. So leave the editing to competent contributors.

-- I think we should include the evaluation by the Norwegian statistical office. It may well be that it has no authority to recognise degrees, however, there is no other proper evaluation by a Norwegian office or institute. Or at least we have no source at the moment. (NOKUT apparently doesn't evaluate the German Diplom and just states that the system is 'confusing'.) I agree, though, that we also should keep the NOKUT source in.

The fact is, it is indeed true that the large majority of people in the USA are of Protestant descent: perhaps 75%+ or so of US whites are Protestant or of Protestant descent, and almost all religiously affiliated US blacks are Protestants.
 * By that logic you may as well say that the vast majority of U.S. white Protestants are of "Catholic heritage" since their ancestors were Catholic before the Reformation. Or of "pagan heritage" since their ancestors were European pagans before Christianization. Likewise the vast majority of U.S. black Protestants are of Muslim or animist heritage. --Angr/undefined 04:47, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like the Angr fellow has it in for Protestants! Even if a bare majority, that's probably because many Americans are agnostic. Nobody really debates that there are more than twice as many Protestants as Catholics, or that Muslims and Jews are at most 2 or 3 percent. I'm ok to change author's supermajority to distinct majority, but Angr's assertion that America's heritage is Catholic is ignorant and probably shows some Anti-Protestant pro-Catholic bias.
 * LOL. I never said America's heritage is Catholic. I was using a reductio ad absurdum argument against the idea that people identify with the religion of their ancestors without practicing it themselves. I don't know what "religious heritage" you would call me, since my parents grew up Baptist, converted to Catholicism after they were married, then later converted again to the Episcopal Church (i.e. neither Catholic nor Protestant), into which I was baptized and of which I am still a practicing member. --Angr/undefined 07:24, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, from wikipedia, the name of your church is: "The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America". Many protestant churches (Lutheran) use the word Catholic, but they have not joined the Orthodox church and have broken with Rome, and most folks would call Episcopals Protestants.
 * Then it should be clear that I as an Episcopalian am not "anti-Protestant". --Angr/undefined 19:20, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Triple Concerto (Beethoven)

Ludwig van Beethoven's Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano in C major, Op. 56, commonly known as the Triple Concerto, was composed in 1803 and published in 1804 by Breitkopf & Härtel. The choice of the three solo instruments effectively makes this a concerto for piano trio, and it is the only concerto Beethoven ever completed for more than one solo instrument, also being the only concerto he wrote for cello. A typical performance takes approximately thirty-seven minutes.

History
Beethoven's early biographer Anton Schindler claimed that the Triple Concerto was written for Beethoven's royal pupil, the Archduke Rudolf of Austria. The Archduke, who became an accomplished pianist and composer under Beethoven's tutelage, was only in his mid-teens at this time, and it seems plausible that Beethoven's strategy was to create a showy but relatively easy piano part that would be backed up by two more mature and skilled soloists. However, there is no record of Rudolf ever performing the work, and a number of Beethoven scholars have questioned Schindler's claim.

The Triple Concerto was publicly premiered in 1808, at the summer Augarten concerts in Vienna. The violinist in the premiere was Carl August Seidler, and the cellist was Nikolaus Kraft, who was known for "technical mastery" and a "clear, rich tone". The concerto was Beethoven's first work to use advanced cello techniques.

In the published version, the concerto bore a dedication to a different patron: Prince Lobkowitz.

Movements
The concerto is divided into three movements:

 * 1) Allegro
 * 2) Largo (attacca)
 * 3) Rondo alla polacca

The first movement is broadly scaled and cast in a moderate march tempo, and includes decorative solo passage-work and leisurely repetitions, variations, and extensions of assorted themes. A common feature is a dotted rhythm (short-long, short-long) that lends an air of graciousness and pomp that is not exactly "heroic," but would have conveyed a character of fashionable dignity to contemporary listeners—and perhaps a hint of the noble "chivalric" manner that was becoming a popular element of novels, plays, operas, and pictures. The jogging triplets that figure in much of the accompaniment also contribute to this effect. In this movement, as in the other two, the cello enters solo with the first subject. Unusual for a concerto of this scale, the first movement begins quietly, with a gradual crescendo into the exposition, with the main theme later introduced by the soloists. Also unusually, the exposition modulates to A minor instead of the expected G major. (Beethoven's friend Ferdinand Ries later did the same mediant transition in his sixth concerto.) This movement takes sixteen to nineteen minutes.

The slow movement, in A-flat major, is a large-scale introduction to the finale, which follows it without pause. The cello and violin share the melodic material of the movement between them while the piano provides a discreet accompaniment. This movement takes about five to six minutes.

There is no break between the second and third movements. Dramatic repeated notes launch into the third movement, a polonaise (also called "polacca"), an emblem of aristocratic fashion during the Napoleonic era, which is, thus, in keeping with the character of "polite entertainment" that characterizes this concerto as a whole. The bolero-like rhythm, also characteristic of the polonaise, can be heard in the central minor theme of the final movement. This movement takes about thirteen to fourteen minutes.

In addition to the violin, cello, and piano soloists, the concerto is scored for one flute, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. The flute, oboes, trumpets, and timpani are tacet during the second movement.

My Many Colored Days

My Many Colored Days is a children's book written by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Seuss.

Accompanying a manuscript Geisel wrote in 1974 was a letter outlining his hopes of finding "a great color artist who will not be dominated by me". Geisel saw his original text about feelings and moods as part of the "first book ever to be based on beautiful illustrations and sensational color".

It was published posthumously in 1996 by Alfred A. Knopf, after Geisel's death in 1991. It features paintings by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. A rhyming story, it describes each day in terms of a particular color which is in turn associated with a specific emotion. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association listed the book in its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children".

Friedrich Burgmüller

Johann Friedrich Franz Burgmüller, generally known as Friedrich Burgmuller (4 December 1806 – 13 February 1874) was a German pianist and composer during the Romantic period. He is perhaps best known for his three collections of children's etudes (or "teaching pieces") for the piano, particularly his Op. 100 "25 Études faciles et progressives" (25 Easy and Progressive Studies) for early intermediate students. The other two collections, for more advanced students, were Op. 105 and 109.

Life
Friedrich Burgmüller was born in Ratisbon (at that time part of the Principality of Regensburg, Confederation of the Rhine). His father Friedrich August Burgmüller and his younger brother Norbert Burgmüller were also composers. His mother was pianist and singer Therese von Zandt.

He moved to Kassel in 1829 to study with Ludwig Spohr and Moritz Hauptmann. There he appeared as a pianist for his first concert, January 14, 1830.

Burgmüller moved to Paris in 1832 (at age 26 ), where he stayed until his death. Norbert Burgmüller, his brother, made plans to join him in Paris, in 1835. However, he drowned in a spa in Aachen during an epileptic seizure a year later. In Paris, Burgmüller adopted Parisian music and developed his trademark (light) style of playing. He wrote many pieces of salon music for the piano and published several albums. Burgmüller also went on to compose piano études intended for children. He died in Paris on February 13, 1874.

Works
Burgmüller composed piano pieces, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises and two ballets. His Peasant Pas de Deux was added to Adolphe Adam's ballet Giselle for its 1841 premiere. This music was originally titled Souvenirs de Ratisbonne.

Talk:Water-tube boiler

Marine boilers
Marine boilers, what few remain, are largely if not solely limited to D-type boilers. -- 64.154.26.251 23:51, 6 June 2005

CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN THE THREE ELEMENT CONTROL IN WATER TUBE BOILERS IN DETAIL ...OR SEND ME THE LINK — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.203.160.197 (talk) 19:40, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Needed improvement
I have removed some text in the article. It needs work before it can go back in.
 *  The electrical panels and Chimney parts etc. were supplied separately.

This doesn't make sense
 * After the War over some unused transportable sets, as reparation units, were given given to some Indian States for augmenting their Power generating capacities.

This needs a source and cleaning up. Come to think of it, the whole article needs sources. --Adamrush 07:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Efficiency
The article is not clear. According to the picture, the hot gas, produced by burning, first is used to boil the water, and only then - to superheat the steam. This does not seem to provide the best efficiency, because the temperature of exhaust gasses cannot be below the temperature of superhot steam. The efficient scheme should imply that the gas first is used to overheat the steam, and only then, to boil, and, perhaps, to warm the water. In such a way, the temperature of the exhaust gas could be lower (say, 400 kelvin instead of 600 kelvin), with corresponding increase of the efficiency. Could anybody upload the scheme of the efficient boiler? Can anybody explain, why the non-efficient boilers are preferred (if it is really so)? dima (talk) 04:56, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

The article is perfectly clear as a general introduction to water-tube boilers. The diagram is correct for small boilers. The refinements used on large utility boilers (with thermal loads of 1 GW and up) are an article in themselves. (Economisers and air preheaters would certainly be needed to bring the exhaust gas temperature down to 400K). 86.176.115.95 (talk) 23:12, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Railway locomotives
Needs some addition here, rare though they were. Was there anything similar in the USA? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:10, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * LMS 6399 Fury
 * LNER 10000

 * Yes, there were. The two main groups that I know of were the high pressure designs on the D&H, and the more conventional designs on the B&O.

 * The general claims here are a bit wobbly. Unless there were a lot of continental watertube engines, the statements about compounding and high pressure are somewhat dubious. The B&O std. pressure/simple engines were more numerous than the D&H high-pressure/compound cases. I've corrected the claim about steam turbine usage, as you can see. Mangoe (talk) 03:38, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Missing section: "Principle of operation"
I think the current lede goes into too much functional detail for an introductory paragraph. It seems to me that a new 'first section' is required, named "Principle of operation" (for example) taking the bulk of the operational detail from the lede. This would allow the lede to better summarise the whole article.

The "Principle of operation" section could then stand being expanded.

EdJogg (talk) 18:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Removed 'duplicate' text
The "Babock & Wilcox" section had the following added recently:

 * WORKING- The drum is filled with water through the economiser with the help of a non-return feed check valve about half of its capacity leaving the rest of it for steam space.the coal is charged onto the great and burnt.The hot gases move up and down between the baffles in a beneficial path .They transfer heat to the water in tubes and the steam in the super-heater in zones(1),(2)and(3) finally the hot gases exit through the chimney.The draught is regulated by a damper.The portion of water tubes nearer to the furnace are heated to a higher temperature and therefore the dencity of water decreases and rises into the uptake header and the short tubes along with wet steam.They enter into the steel drum where the steam separates from the water and collects in steam space.At the same time water at the back and which is at lesser temperature enters into water tubes through the long tube and the downtake header.Hence natural circulation of water (convective current) is istablished.The stem collected in the steam space is led to the superheater,through the steam pipe. The superheated steam is tapped through the steam stop valve.

This substantially repeats the text found in the lede. There are a few differences, which could be incorporated in "Principle of operation" (see section above) but for now I thought the safest and fairest course of action was to copy the text here.

As far as I can make out, it is not a copyvio of a website (despite the inclusion of "zones(1), (2) and (3)" -- I haven't modified any spelling).

Auyuittuq National Park

Auyuittuq National Park (ᐊᐅᔪᐃᑦᑐᖅ,, "the land that never melts") is a national park located on Baffin Island's Cumberland Peninsula, in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, the largest political subdivision of Canada. The park was initially known as Baffin Island National Park when it was established in 1972, but the name was changed in 1976 to its current name to better reflect the region and its history. It features many terrains of Arctic wilderness, such as fjords, glaciers, and ice fields. Although Auyuittuq was established in 1972 as a national park reserve, it was upgraded to a full national park in 2000.

Location and access
Auyuittuq National Park is located on the Cumberland Peninsula of Baffin Island in Nunavut. The park is located within the Arctic Circle. The park covers 21470 km2 and is located partially within the Penny Highlands and contains the 6000 km2 Penny Ice Cap. The Penny Ice Cap, made of ice sitting on Precambrian granite, creates a series of glaciers, among them the Coronation Glacier. The land reflects the geological history of the area, with deep valleys between the peaks, which include Mount Asgard with an 800 m face, and Mount Thor with a 1250 m face. Along the coast are deep, narrow fjords. In Akshayuk Pass, the winds can reach 175 kph.

The nearest towns are Qikiqtarjuaq and Pangnirtung. Visitors wishing to enter the park are required by Parks Canada to register at the park office in Pangnirtung or Qikiqtarjuaq, and attend an orientation session. Park user fees apply.

History
First established in 1972 as Baffin Island National Park, in 1975, Parks Canada chose to rename the park in order to better reflect the landscape and the Inuit history within the region. After some debate, the name was changed to Auyuittuq National Park, which is an Inuktitut word meaning "the place that does not melt".

Flora and fauna
Little vegetation can be found in Auyuittuq Park, although the plants found there range from flowers such as mountain avens, campion, Papaver, and saxifrage to shrubs like dwarf birch, Arctic willow, and heather. Many of the plants in Auyuittuq Park grow in clumps to create their own warmer "microclimate" to survive the harsh Arctic conditions.

Because of the exceptionally low vegetation supply on land, wildlife is very scarce. However, the park is bordered on three sides by sea and marine life is found within the park's boundaries. Species that live in Auyuittuq Park include lemmings (both the North American brown lemming and the northern collared lemming), red foxes, snowy owls, peregrine falcons, ermines, rough-legged hawks, gyrfalcons, beluga whales, snow geese, polar bears, wolves, narwhals, Canada geese, Arctic foxes, Arctic hares, and some barren-ground caribou.

Activities
The most common backpacking route in the park is known as Akshayuk Pass, and follows the Weasel and Owl rivers via Summit Lake. In 2008, heavy rain and warm weather caused Summit Lake to burst through its banks, flooding the Weasel River and washing away the Windy Lake bridge. As a result, the hiking routes in the pass are limited to either side of the Weasel River.

Broadway & 52nd

Broadway & 52nd is the second studio album by jazz-rap group Us3 and has a more dark, conscious mood to it than their first album.

On the album, the group continued mixing live musicians with samples and hip hop lyrics. While the album was not as well received as the debut album Hand on the Torch, it represented a more mature approach to jazz rap. After the huge success of their first album, the president of Blue Note records allowed the trio to dig deep into Blue Note's vault and do whatever they wanted to do with its material.

The album's title comes from the street intersection in the middle of the theater district in New York City, which used to be the center of bebop in New York City.

I thought that Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft (79 chars.) was the longest German word (meaning "the club for subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services" - it was the name of a pre-war club in Vienna). source

--User:NathanClayton

 * Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft doesn't exist anymore. Thats why the Rinderkennzeichnungs- und Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is currently the longuest word in german --194.9.121.79 12:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * There is no longest German word. In German, you can make words arbitrary long as long as you can still give some sense to them. These long words are even surprisingly well read and understood by Germans, because long compounded words are quite common (no one would even rise an eyebrow over "Fleischereifachverkäuferin")141.30.217.10
 * For example - the object didn't exist - but Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsdienstmützenhalterbefestigungsschraubenvorratsbehälterreinigungsmittelbenutzungsvorschrift

with its 132 letters would be a word well understood for a simple piece of paper which probably some minor official of the Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft with too much time on his hands had written on how to clean a box of screws. Such things do happen. Recently I saw a offical an offical rule on how to use public toiletts in IIRC Sachsen-Anhalt.

Perhaps this page should be merged with "Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft" to create a "German compound words" article. - Phi*n!x 22:14, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No, the subjects are obviously distinct. Gerrit CUTEDH 16:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Of course the subjects are distinct, but the content of the articles is not- both discuss German compound words. I would be fine with keeping the articles separate if they actually discussed the things the words refer to, not the words themselves.  There doesn't seem to be much information on this; even the German versions of these articles discuss grammar. We could possibly leave the first and third paragraphs as a stub, since they actually somewhat discuss the topic. Phi*n!x 16:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * The article is not about compund words, but about a law that happens to use a compound word (and, admittedly, got better-known for it's compund-word-ness). Still, this is as much an article about humour in the German Parliament than about compund words, and we're not going to merge it with Jakob Maria Mierscheid just because of that, either.

Millenium
This word does not complement Jahrtausend. It is simply an alternative word from another Indo-European language with the same meaning.Pamour (talk) 14:13, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Doulos SIL

Doulos SIL (Ancient Greek for "slave") is a serif typeface developed by SIL International, very similar to Times or Times New Roman. Unlike Times New Roman, Doulos only has a single face, Regular. The goal of its design according to the SIL International website is to "provide a single Unicode-based font family that would contain a comprehensive inventory of glyphs needed for almost any Roman- or Cyrillic-based writing system, whether used for phonetic or orthographic needs." Along with Charis SIL and Gentium, it is licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL). This font has a cousin specially designed for numbered musical notation named Doulos SIL Cipher.

Wuzhang Plains

The Wuzhang Plains (五丈原) are plateaus near the Wei River in China. They are now in the Shaanxi province, 56 kilometres from Baoji. The name "Wuzhang" means "five zhang", where zhang (丈) is a Chinese unit of measurement which converts to 3⅓ metre. In actuality, the plains are situated 12 m from sea level, 1 km wide from east to west, and 3.5 km long from north to south. The Qin Mountains are to the plains' south, while the Wei River is at their north, Maili River to their east, and Shitou River to their west.

The hazardous plateaus were the site of the Battle of Wuzhang Plains during the Three Kingdoms period of China, in which the famous Shu statesman Zhuge Liang died of sickness.

At the present, the Wuzhang Plains are a designated scenic region where relics of the Three Kingdoms period scattered across the plains. Many temples were erected there in Zhuge Liang's name, and the sceneries have names that allude to his Northern Expeditions. Because it is known as the site where Zhuge Liang died, many poets of old have journeyed here and left their mark.

Hoàng Tụy

Hoàng Tụy (7 December 1927 – 14 July 2019) was an prominent Vietnamese applied mathematician. He was considered one of two founders of the mathematical institutions of Vietnam; the other was Lê Văn Thiêm.

Career
Hoàng Tụy's early career coincided with the French war (1946–1954), which interrupted his studies. In December 1946, after two months as a mathematics student at Hanoi University of Science VNU, he had to return to the south, because the French had invaded and seized Hanoi, and the University had closed. Hoàng Tụy taught secondary school in Quảng Ngãi province in the Fifth Liberated Zone from 1947 to 1951, during which time he wrote a geometry textbook that was published by the Việt Minh press—perhaps the first time a guerrilla movement published a math book. In the early 1950s, Hoàng Tụy studied with Lê Văn Thiêm in the university that the Việt Minh had opened in a liberated zone in the far north near the Chinese border. In September 1957 he went to the Soviet Union, where he studied real analysis under the supervision of D. E. Menshov and G. E. Shilov. Hoàng Tụy received his PhD in mathematics from Moscow State University in 1959.

After returning to Vietnam from the Soviet Union, Hoàng Tụy changed his area of research from real analysis, which was too theoretical to be of immediate use in Vietnam, to operations research, a field of applied mathematics. It was Hoàng Tụy who first brought that field of research to Vietnam, and who invented the Vietnamese translation vận trù of "operations research." Since that time Hoàng Tụy has worked mainly in the field of global optimization, where he did pioneering work. He had a long career with the Institute of Mathematics of the Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology, where he was director from 1980 to 1989. He published more than 160 refereed journal and conference articles.

In 1997, a workshop in honor of Hoàng Tụy was organized at Linköping University, Sweden.

In December 2007, an international conference on Nonconvex Programming was held in Rouen, France, to pay tribute to him on the occasion of his 80th birthday, in recognition of his pioneering achievements that advanced the field of global optimization.

In September 2011, Professor Hoàng Tụy was named as the first-ever recipient of the Constantin Carathéodory Prize of the International Society of Global Optimization for his pioneering work and fundamental contributions to global optimization.

Family
An ancestor of Hoàng Tụy was a famous leader of anti-colonial resistance: "One of my ancestors, Hoàng Diệu, was governor of Hanoi in the 1880s. He heroically defended Hanoi against the French, but the city fell. Believing himself to be responsible, he took his own life rather than allow himself to be captured by the enemy. His resistance and suicide are considered to have been acts of great patriotism. In 1945, when the revolution took Hanoi back from the French, for a time Hanoi was renamed Hoàng Diệu City."

Hoàng Tụy's son, Hoang Duong Tuan, is now a full professor at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia, where he is working on the applications of optimization in various engineering fields. His son-in-law, Phan Thien Thach, works also on optimization.
