Leeds United A.F.C. Chairmen
With regards to the page you have created Leeds United A.F.C. Chairmen. I don't know whether you already knew this but the category Category:Chairmen of Leeds United AFC exists and has a bigger list than the one you have created (although lacking dates). I wondered, if you agreed, if I could nominate the page for deletion and move the table on the page to the category and then link to the category page on the main leeds page, it would make more sense in my opinion for such a small amount of info. Information on the individuals reigns as chairman of Leeds could then be stored on their own pages. Let me know what you think. --Chappy84 17:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Please respond, if you check my talk page I discussed major Leeds United additions/alterations with other users before making the alterations. Also see here, Bill Fotherby was a chairman of Leeds United. Chappy84 18:21, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Please use it more when editing, rather than just updating the page. It makes it more difficult to track specific edits. - Dudesleeper 20:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, will do in future! Just regarding Alastair Mackenzie, he is credited as 'Alastair Mackenzie' on the show, so any references to him on Wikipedia regarding MOTG, I have put as 'Alastair Mackenzie' - User:t1v37r 20:48, 12 January 2007 (GMT)
 * Yep, I noticed the piped links. I'd redirected the MacKenzie article back to Mackenzie, probably not the done way, but there it is. - Dudesleeper 00:49, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Transfer Section on Leeds United
I know there has been a transfer section in previous summers on the Leeds United page but unfortunately they're not considered encyclopaedic or part of football articles that reach featured article status so I've removed it. Chappy84 20:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Leeds Player of the Year
Just thought I'd let you know. I've reverted your edit to the above as Eddie Lewis has infact been voted fans player of the year, not club player of the year and this list is club player of the year. Chappy • T • C • 17:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * apologies, arfter searching through the the leeds web-site for last years player of the year it turns out the fans do pick it. - http://www.leedsunited.com/page/NewsroomDetail/0,,10273~901227,00.html, thought fans picked theirs and the club picked another. anyway i've re-added your edit, and apologies for the mix-up.Chappy • T • C • 20:14, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Leeds United A.F.C. Trialists
Hi, I just thought I'd let you know I've removed the trialists section on the Leeds page. This is because they're never actually on the clubs books as a registered player during the trial period and as such are never part of club statistics therefore there isn't really a need for them to be mentioned in the article, even if we subsequently sign a few after eventually coming out of administration. Chappy TC 07:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Leeds United A.F.C. Squad
Hi, I was just wondering why you updated the date on the squad to the 15th from the 13th when you removed the erroneous text? The last time the squad changed was on the 13th hence this should really be the date that is shown until any further transfers/signings occur. Chappy TC 09:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Leeds United 2007-08 season
Hi, as a regular editor of the Leeds United wikipedia page, I just wanted to ask your advice on a matter. I found this page on FC Barcelona's 2007-08 season and was thinking of creating similiar page for Leeds? I can see no reason not to if other teams can have them, despite I suppose us being a team in a lower league although we definitely have the number of supporters that a Premier League or La Liga team would! t1v37r 19:23, 31 July 2007 (GMT)
 * Hi, erm yeah, These pages do keep on cropping up. The problem with them is that people start them with the intentions of keeping them up-to date but in the end they stay un-finished.  There are a whole series of articles for each county cricket side for the 2005 season (see Yorkshire's Here) however the person whom created these didn't feel the inkling to create one's for the 2006 or 2007 seasons.  There is a wiki-project dedicated to Football and football articles and the consensus on there was to advise against them due to the fact that most remain un-finished and in a few years they won't be really required or read by users.   I would however on the positive side say that they are informative articles.  people looking back may want to find this information out, I would just say that if you do want to create this article make sure you are dedicated to it as especially since we are a division two side now few if any people will be with you in providing frequent edits (with more editors than not probably just editing to add vandalism if their team beats us).  I myself try to keep the main page and history page up-to date with major events and, although impossible to balance the information, in proportion as much as possible to previous decades. I've been, meaning to increase the amount of information on the revie era, as a lot of information is available on fan sites, but I have never got round to it. Also although unlikely that we won't, its not certain that we'll have a 2007-08 season at the moment so if you are going to create this article it might be an idea to hang of just until we're given that all important golden share back (which I'm begging we are, even though we're so ill prepared I think it may result in yet another relegation battle).  Sorry if all that's a little negative against the creation it's just personal opinion from seeing previous similar aricles lagg behind and become beyond the point where it requires a reasonable amount of effort to get back up-to date.  Chappy TC 20:20, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Right okay I get what you're saying. I may make a start in the next few days and put it up once we get the share (fingers crossed!!!). Cheers for the advice. t1v37r 21:51, 31 July 2007 (GMT)
 * In theory it's a great idea, though it may be harder in practise. Nonetheless, should you decide to go ahead I'm more than happy to give you a hand in reverting vandalism and keeping it up to date. MOT Kaboooz LUFC TC 22:43, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If you're going to create the code and then move it if we get the share then just create it as a sub-page of your user page, i.e. at User:T1v37r/Leeds United A.F.C. 2007-08 season. will make it easier for you rather than saving the code on your own P.C. That way you can do all you would be able to with a normal page. p.s. Happy Yorkshire Day Chappy TC 11:57, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Quick note on the Squad Information you have on your 2007-08 page. Some of the players you have as coming in for a Free I seem to remember coming in for at-least nominal fees.  We definately paid weldstone and barnet for beckford and kandol (think they were both under £100k each), douglas' page states that he moved for an undisclosed fee (and is referenced so you can use that reference).  Also try to link to the actual page and not re-directs.  The Eddie Lewis link goes to a disambiguation page, and links such as Leeds United should at-least use the Template:afc or Template:fc links, try to check the name of the page the club is under and then use the appropriate template.  Also just a note on nationalities, I'd use the Template:citeweb for atleast richardson playing for scotland internationally as some may question it since scotland is not mentioned on his wikipedia page.  Chappy TC 12:16, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Cheers for the advice, Chappy84. I have sorted out the Lewis link... I checked Douglas/Beckford/Kandol (how could we pay money for him!?!?!) and confirmed they are undisclosed fees. All now corrected. Richardson... I'm sure he is Scottish, despite being in Rotherham, will try find a reference on the net somewhere. Will try and correct as many of the re-directs as I can, same with the the template:afc for Leeds United... any other advice at all? as much as possible would be welcome!!! One question, do you have any idea how to access the template regarding EU players? And also do you have any clue about the English rules for EU players - I don't myself... Regarding new stuff on the page, I obviously can't do the kit cos we don't have any sponsors or have a clue what the new kit is gonna be like. I'm gonna have a go at putting in the info about competitive matches sometime in the near future, then go on to Squad Stats. T1v37r, 2 August 2007, 15:41 GMT
 * The english rules on EU players will most probably be the general EU laws on employment within the european union, i.e. if you're a citizen of a member state you can work in any other member state, outside the european union I think the rule is you have to have played in 75% of your countries A class matches to get a work permit. As for the EU player template, not quite sure what this is.  One of  these might be it but if not try asking on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football, someone on there should be able to help you. Regarding the kit, sponsors won't change it as wikipedia can't sanction the use of sponsor images on examples of kits and any on wikipedia will be removed. As for the kit designs, we're still using last seasons at the mo so just use the ones from the main page until the club releases new designs, if they are even in the process of doing so. Chappy TC 14:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Try looking at all the season links from the Boro template Template:Middlesbrough_F.C.. They may help.  Chappy TC 12:09, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Now this page has become a proper article, you may want to consider a Speedy_deletion of User:T1v37r/Leeds United A.F.C. 2007-08 season. As it's under your user page it qualifies for speedy deletion if you request it. Chappy TC 17:30, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Cheers, yep have just done so. Thanks. T1v37r, 10 August 2007, 18:59 GMT

Image source problem with Image:Dumbledoreharris1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dumbledoreharris1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:56, 10 August 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 17:56, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Dumbledoreharris1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Dumbledoreharris1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 17:56, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

New columns in Fb templates
Hi, I just like to tell you that new columns could be add to any template. But, in order to not interfere in other articles that use the same templates and do not want to use it, new columns could be optional, like the Scorers column. If you have a need for a new column and do not fill comfort changing the templates yourself, please discuss it in the template's talk page. New columns and changes could be useful for other articles. Regards. --ClaudioMB 16:57, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Necros-jamesbond.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Necros-jamesbond.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

 * The column is sort as a text, not as a value. "." comes before letters, so "1.5m" comes before "1m". My immediately solution is when one player uses ".", all other should also use. I already did the change.--ClaudioMB 03:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Free and Youth system order

 * "Youth system" be order lower than "Free" will be not easy, because Y comes after F. I'll try a solution later.--ClaudioMB 04:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Squad limitation in England

 * About squad limit note, here the template Template:Fb pl ENG 2007. I placed that note wondering if there is such limitation in England like in Spain (25 players). I forgot to place a question on the Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football. If there isn't such thing in England, the note could be erased.--ClaudioMB 04:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice ClaudioMB, have edited the template saying "Squad size is unlimited". As far I know, the squad can be as small or large as the club wants. --t1v37r 08:28, 28 August 2007 (GMT)

Leeds Reserve Players
Hi T1v37r. Unfortunately due to notability requirements the three articles (Duane Grace, Stefan Connor, and Andrew Milne) you have created for the Leeds reserve team aren't allowed on Wikipedia and are going to have to be nominated for deletion. If you nominate these for speedy deletion then we will avoid an AfD discussion, however otherwise they will go through one and due to no appearances in a fully professional league (this excludes youth and reserve leagues) they do not fullfill the requirements for notability on WP:Football. Chappy TC 11:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi Chappy84. Okay, that's fine. Just a question though, there are numerous other player pages of players who have not played for the senior team. Eg, Jonathan Lund, Simon Madden, Gavin Rothery etc, how come they haven't been deleted? Is it cos they are have signed pro deals? Ross Wilkinson hasn't signed a pro deal or played pro footy...? T1v37r, 24 September 2007, 13:28 GMT

 * The reason is simply that people haven't nominated them for AfD's yet, they should have been. Also some people re-create the page after its deleteion as a result of an AfD, as they feel the player requires a page. It's unfortunately a never ending battle to keep only notable articles on wikipedia. Chappy [[Image:White Rose Badge of York.svg|God's Own Country|20px]] TC 14:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Supermarine Spiteful

The Supermarine Spiteful was a British fighter aircraft designed by Supermarine during the Second World War as a successor to the Spitfire. Powered by a Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, it had a radical new wing design to allow safe operations at higher speeds and incorporating inwards-retracting undercarriage. Other changes included a larger fin to improve the marginal stability of Griffon Spitfires. Development of the wing was formalised by Air Ministry specification F.1/43; as well as a new aircraft, there was an expectation the wing could be used as a replacement for the elliptical wing on Spitfire production.

The Spiteful was ready for production as the war was ending, but in testing had shown only marginal improvements over existing types, and was now being overtaken by jet-powered designs. Of the original order for 150 Spitefuls, only 19 were built. Meanwhile the Royal Navy opted for a navalised variation of the Spiteful type, the Supermarine Seafang, but few of those were built either. The wing developed for the Spiteful was used for the Supermarine Attacker jet.

Background
In 1942, in order to improve the rolling characteristics of the Supermarine Spitfire, the British Air Ministry asked Supermarine to devise a new wing for the aircraft and to incorporate a laminar flow wing section in the new design. By November that year, the company's chief designer, Joseph Smith, was working on the new wing. It became clear to the Supermarine design team that the Spitfire's performance at speeds higher than 480 mph was compromised by the aeroelasticity of its elliptical wing. R.J. Mitchell's original elliptical design had been regularly strengthened and modified during the war to cope with increases in engine power, but if the Spitfire was to fly still higher and faster, a radical new design of wing would be needed. The design progressed in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington.

In September 1942, Supermarine used Specification No 469, which outlined the first steps towards designing the Type 371, which would later become the Spiteful. Specification No 470 was issued by Supermarine on 30 November, which stated:

"A new wing has been designed for the Spitfire with the following objects: 1) To raise as much as possible the critical speed at which drag increases, due to compressibility, become serious. 2) To obtain a rate of roll faster than any existing fighter. 3) To reduce wing profile drag and thereby improve performance.

The wing area had been reduced from 242 sqft to 210 sqft, and a thickness chord ratio of 13% had been used over the inner wing where the equipment is stored. Outboard the wing tapers to 8% thickness/chord at the tip."

Specification 470 described how the wing skins were to be relatively thick, aiding rotational stiffness, which was needed for good aileron control at high speeds. Although the prototype was to have a dihedral of 3° it was intended that this would be increased in subsequent aircraft. To improve the aircraft's ground handling, the Spitfire's outward-retracting undercarriage was replaced with one that was inward-retracting system, so that the wheels were spaced further apart. This eliminated a perceived fault in the original Spitfire design that had made it comparatively difficult to land.

The Air Ministry was impressed by the proposals. In February 1943 it issued Specification F.1/43 for a single-seat fighter with a laminar flow wing; there was also to be provision made for the pilot to have for good visibility, for the wings to fold, to meet possible Fleet Air Arm requirements, for an armament of 4 × 20 mm cannon, and for the propellers to be contra-rotating. Specification F.1/43 stated that the new fighter was to use a fuselage based on a Spitfire Mk VIII. Three aircraft with contra-rotating propellers were ordered under the specification which was largely experimental to test the wing and a contra-rotating propeller. Supermarine was initially left to decide whether to use a Merlin or Griffon; this was altered to the first two aircraft were to be built with Griffons and the third with a Merlin, all with the contra-rotating propeller. The specification also called for the wing to be used on Mark VIII or Mark 21 Spitfire airframes (with Merlin and Griffon engines respectively) with the expectation that it would be used on production lines from the end of 1944. However, the changes to the wing spar spacing meant the wing would not be a straight replacement. Internally Supermarine identified the wing as the Type 371 which—by extension—was used to refer to the aircraft design as a whole.

Prototype trials
The new wing was fitted to a modified Spitfire XIV (serial NN660)—the specification having been amended by the Air Ministry from its original instruction for a Mk VIII fuselage to be used. The Mk XIV was chosen so that the new wing could be directly compared with the earlier elliptical wing. The aircraft was planned to fly for the first time on 15 March 1944, but delays to the construction of the new wing meant that the aircraft could not be delivered on time.

NN660 was first flown by Supermarine's chief test pilot Jeffrey Quill from Vickers' flight development site at RAF High Post, Wiltshire, on 30 June 1944. Although the new Spitfire's speed performance was comfortably in excess of an unmodified Spitfire XIV, the wing displayed issues at the stall which, although acceptable, did not come up to the high standards of the Spitfire's earlier elliptical wing. NN660 crashed on 13 September 1944 during an improvised low altitude mock-combat with a standard Spitfire XIV. The test pilot Frank Furlong was killed. No reason for the loss was established, although the subsequent accident report discussed the possibility that the aileron control rods had momentarily seized or become disconnected during the flight. Quill encountered a similar problem one day when the ailerons jammed during "a high g turn" in NN664 but he had the altitude to recover. The controls were afterwards redesigned, which caused the first flight of the second prototype (NN664) to be delayed. By December Supermarine was being criticised by the Ministry for slow progress on the aircraft. Flight testing showed that performance was better than that of the equivalent Spitfire, but not as good as expected, and anything (including splashes of mud or dead insects) on the wing broke the laminar flow and reduced speed.

The Spitfire's fuselage was redesigned to improve the pilot's sightline for deflection shooting and to use a larger fin and rudder to eliminate directional instability. The instability had arisen following the introduction of the more powerful Griffon engine and was exacerbated by the introduction of the four-bladed and subsequent five-bladed Rotol propeller airscrews. At the same time Supermarine designed the airframe so it could take either Griffon or Merlin engines. The updated design incorporated the new fuselage but not the enlarged fin/rudder. NN664 first flew on 8 January 1945, still unpainted. Subsequent modifications used to try to resolve faults found during trial flights included altering the wing section, and enlarging the fin, rudder, tailplane and elevators. The enlarged tail improved handling but caused a further drop in top speed.

The Spiteful was found to be faster than the Spitfire, but the increase in speed was not as great as had been expected. The Spiteful had more adverse compressibility effects and poorer stalling characteristics than its predecessor.

Name
As early as 1943, the service name for any new type emerging from the Spitfire was under discussion. "Victor" was an option that was discussed by the Air Council (the governing body of the RAF), but this name was considered to have an air of overconfidence, and it lacked any suggestion of speed or aggression. The introduction of a new design to replace the Spitfire's original elliptical wing, which dated from the 1930s, prompted fresh discussions. Objections were raised against using the name Spitfire for a type that differed substantially from Mitchell's original design, though those using the Spitfire (from pilots to AOC Fighter Command) were against any change. The opinion of the Air Member for Supply and Organisation was that: "...no reason for giving the name Spitfire to what was a different aircraft and not another Spitfire. Little about the new aircraft was interchangeable with the Spitfire, and continuance of the latter name would be a nuisance from the supply point of view."

The Air Council was told in October 1943 that the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was "interested in the choice of name" and wanted to discuss it with the Secretary of State. Sir Charles Portal, the Chief of the Air Staff, thought the name Valiant was much better than Victor. In November, needing to settle the matter, the Council decided that the Spitfire XXI would be named Valiant, provided the Admiralty agreed. However, Supermarine objected to Valiant and wanted one starting with the letter S. Portal suggested Spiteful which was accepted without discussion at a meeting in March 1944.

Production
The Spiteful was ordered into production as the Spiteful F.XIV, the numerals being carried over from the original Spitfire Mk XIV. The numbering was chosen to allow for Merlin-engined variants though ultimately none were built. In total, 650 aircraft were ordered from Supermarine. The number contracted to be built was first reduced by 260 aircraft; a second cancellation left 80 machines to be built. The third and final cancellation reduced the size of the contract to 22 aircraft. The first production aircraft, RB515, flew for 15 minutes on 2 April 1945. A week later, it sustained damage when Quill had to make a forced landing at RAF Boscombe Down but was repaired and returned to flight.

With the advent of jet propulsion, the order was cancelled in May 1945, a few days before the end of the war in Europe, with only a handful of Spitefuls built. Supermarine received a replacement order for 150 Seafangs. A few Spitefuls were taken "on charge" for evaluation by the RAF but did not see squadron service. NN664 was delivered for official trials at Boscombe Down in June 1945, followed by NN667 between February and June the following year. The assessment was "below average" with criticism of the cockpit layout and time to refuel and rearm. By March 1946, Supermarine was informed that the RAF only needed the Spiteful as a "low altitude attack aircraft" and during the year RB516 was sent to the Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment to see if the design had value as a fighter-bomber. When the company objected, the Spiteful project was finally abandoned. In July 1948, 13 of the Spitefuls were sold for scrap.

Variants
There were three variants of the type defined. Of the aircraft produced, those with the Griffon 69 engine and a five blade Rotol propeller were given the designation F. Mk 14. The two other variants, F Mk 15 and F Mk 16, differed only in the engine variant used or the number of propeller blades:

"Jet Spiteful"
In late 1943 or early 1944, Smith proposed that the company develop a simple jet fighter based around the Spiteful's wing. and the new jet engine being developed by Rolls-Royce. Smith's Type 392 proposal was accepted, as the wing was judged suitable for jet aircraft, and specification E.10/44 was issued by the Air Ministry for an experimental aircraft that was initially referred to as the '"Jet Spiteful" (and "Jet Seafang" for a navalised version) with a contract for three prototypes. A contract for 6 E.10/44 and 18 E.1/45 (the specification for the naval version) followed in July. The prototype Supermarine Type 392 (TS409), first flew on 27 July 1946. The E.10/44 was not ordered by the Royal Air Force (RAF) due to its performance not being much better than the Gloster Meteor and de Havilland Vampire.

The Admiralty expressed an interest in the aircraft for use as a naval fighter and issued specification E.1/45 around it. The aircraft, named the Supermarine Attacker, was the Royal Navy's first jet aircraft. It had a short career with the Royal Navy during the 1950s, and served with the Pakistan Air Force until 1964.

Supermarine Seafang
During the mid-1940s there was some uncertainty over whether jet aircraft would be able to operate from the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers so it was decided to develop a naval version of the Spiteful, to specification N.5/45, subsequently named the Seafang. The initial prototype was a converted Spiteful XV (RB520) with an arrestor hook fitted. The first full Seafang prototype was VB895. This was followed by 10 Seafang F.Mk 31, two of which were marked up as further prototypes (VG471 and VG474). The final fully navalised F Mk 32 version differed in that it had folding wingtips, a "sting"-type arrester hook, and two three-blade contra-rotating propellers. However, only the two prototypes (VB893 and VB895) are known to have been completed. With the introduction of the Supermarine Attacker from August 1951, the need for the Seafang disappeared. Smith's laminar flow wing design was used for the Supermarine Type 391, a variant of the aircraft.

Britannia silver

Britannia silver is an alloy of silver containing 11 ozt 10 dwt (i.e. 11½ troy oz.) silver in the pound troy, equivalent to $23/24$, or 95.833% by weight (mass) silver, the rest usually being copper.

This standard was introduced in England by Act of Parliament in 1697 to replace sterling silver (92.5% silver) as the obligatory standard for items of "wrought plate". The lion passant gardant hallmark denoting sterling was replaced with "the figure of a woman commonly called Britannia", and the leopard's head mark of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths (in London) replaced with a "lion's head erased".

Britannia standard silver was introduced as part of the great recoinage scheme of William III from 1696, when attempts were made to limit the clipping and melting of sterling silver coinage. A higher standard for wrought plate meant that sterling silver coins could not easily be used as a source of raw material because additional fine silver, which was in short supply at the time, would have to be added to bring the purity of the alloy up to the higher standard. Britannia silver is considerably softer than sterling, and after complaints from the trade, sterling silver was again authorised for use by silversmiths from 1 June 1720, and thereafter Britannia silver has remained an optional standard for hallmarking in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Since the hallmarking changes of 1 January 1999, Britannia silver has been denoted by the millesimal fineness hallmark 958, with the symbol of Britannia being applied optionally.

The silver bullion coins of the Royal Mint issued since 1997, known as "Britannias" for their reverse image, were minted in Britannia standard silver until 2012, when they switched to 999 pure silver.

Britannia silver should be distinguished from Britannia metal, a pewter-like alloy containing no silver.

City of Mount Isa

The City of Mount Isa is a local government area in north west Queensland. The City covers the urban locality of Mount Isa, the administrative centre, and surrounding area, sharing a boundary with the Northern Territory to the west.

Mount Isa is a reasonably affluent district. The largest industry in the city is the Mount Isa Mines, a source of lead, copper, silver and zinc. Cattle grazing and tourism are other industries of note.

In the, the City of Mount Isa had a population of 18,727 people.

History
The city was inhabited by the Kalkadoon and Indjilandji people, whose livelihood depended on hunting and gathering, fishing and trade for several thousands of years, before the European settlers arrived here. The Kalkadoon craftsmen were known for their stone implements and handmade tools which were traded with other Aboriginal groups spread all over the western Queensland.

Kalkatunga (also known as Kalkadoon, Kalkadunga, Kalkatungu) is an Australian Aboriginal language. The Kalkatunga language region is North-West Queensland including the local government areas of the City of Mount Isa.

On 10 February 1914, the Shire of Barclay Tableland, based in Camooweal, was incorporated on an area previously managed by the shires of Burke and Cloncurry. On 14 August 1919 the spelling was changed and it became known as Shire of Barkly Tableland. As a consequence of the growth of Mount Isa as a mining and population centre within the shire, an Order in Council dated 15 December 1962 renamed the shire to Shire of Mount Isa, effective 1 July 1963, and its administration centre relocated to Mount Isa. At the same time it gained part of the Shire of Cloncurry. On 30 May 1968, the shire was proclaimed as a City due to the area reaching a population of 18,000.

Talk:A&E (TV network)

Nelson Aníbal Hernández Bueso is a Son of a Bitch. That does not have the balls to admit he's addiction with networking and porn. It's so crazy to hear him saying that I am going crazy. And that it our son that is only 4yrs old downloading all those links to he's phone. That's what make him a real SON OF A BITCH! The funny part is that all this links are connected on he's old mobile 📲. Well I just can't wait for Karma to get him.

Requested move
A&E Network → A&E Television Networks – {"A&E Television Networks" is the proper name for the network} — Literaryfairy 03:01, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strongly object. A&E Network (maybe just A&E ?) or AETV is a TV network, whereas A&E Television Networks or AETN is the company to which it belongs, along with the History/Biography/Military channels.     –radiojon 02:57, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)

Discussion
I believe the request is to move A&E Network, and that this needs some discussion. -- Rick Block (talk) 14:14, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * My bad--yes, my request is to move A&E Network (not A&E Networks) to A&E Television Networks. The s at the end was a typo. Although looking back at the entry for A&E Network, it seems that it could potentially be split & developed into two separate entries: (1) A&E Television Networks (the correct name of the company), and (2) A&E (the channel, which would include the list of shows) — Literaryfairy 00:17, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

I think the suggestion above is quite a sensible idea. I'm not going to move anything for the moment as I'm hoping for more input. When a decision is made do please feel free to come along to my talk page and I'll help in any way I can. violet/riga (t) 22:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This is similar to the situation with major record labels, radio & TV stations, and other media outlets where big-time corporate consolidation has resulted in each formerly independent label, station, channel, or network being preserved as just a brand. Regardless of the A&E channel/network's origins, it is marketed as, and is thus widely considered to be, not synonymous with the corporation that also owns The History Channel and The Biography Channel. I think the distinction between the parent company and the channels/brands should be preserved here. So, I agree with Literaryfairy, although the specific article names don't really matter much to me. — mjb 21:09, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

The English Channel
I can't find a reference, but didn't A&E start out as 'The English Channel'? before expaniding to it's pre-reality programming? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pqdave (talk • contribs).

Tidied things up with footnotes, headings and a toc. Also added a few numbers about the network's highest-rated programs. Casey Abell 15:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

 * the woman on Zombie Flipping is ruining the show. She wines about everything. She is very annoying. She needs to go. She is really bad. Zombie upping is trying to don't on a budget.

breakfast with the arts - still exists?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A&E_Network states (end of section 1 and beginning of section 2) -

"The show Breakfast with the Arts, which still airs, once featured a higher quantity of classical music than it does now, and fewer interviews.

[edit] Recent developments

Between 2003 and 2007, the channel gradually retired several long-running series, moving Murder, She Wrote and Agatha Christie's Poirot to The Biography Channel and cancelling Breakfast with the Arts, in favor of reality programming such as Dog The Bounty Hunter, Growing Up Gotti, Family Plots, Airline, Inked, King of Cars, and Criss Angel Mindfreak."

one place says "breakfast with the arts" still airs. later cancellation is indicated.

1st part. Not sure - (two men sitting in a truck 'Could u have faith in an ex-convict who talks to God?' 2nd part. Not sure - (female swat member 'you got what it takes to confront America's most dangerous criminals?'

3rd part. Not sure - (male in a hoodie 'you got the courage to face the next world?'

4th part. Criss Angel from the show Mindfreak - 'Would you let me inside your mind?'

5th part. Gene Simmons from the show Family Jewels - 'I'm perfect, your not, can you handle that?'

6th part. Corey Feldman from the show The two Coreys - 'Would you stay together if all you had in common was the past?'

7th part. Tony Sirico from the show The Sopranos - 'Will you be there for me when I have to deal with a death in the family?'

Brampton Island

Brampton Island is an island in the Cumberland Group, off shore from Mackay in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia. The island lies within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, and the majority of the island forms the Brampton Islands National Park, however there is a resort located on the island. The highest point of the island is Brampton Peak, 214 m above sea level.

Early history
The traditional Aboriginal owners of Brampton Island are the Ngaro people, although no permanent population was present when Captain James Cook passed through the area in June 1770. The island was simply known as "M" in the naval charts until it was eventually given its European name in 1879, when Staff Commander Bedwell of the Royal Navy recognised the group of islands and named each after towns in the county of Cumberland. An expedition led by George Elphinstone Dalrymple landed at the island in 1860. They encountered a group of around 14 Aboriginal people with several bark canoes. These vessels were equipped with paddles decorated with red pigment as well as dugong-hunting harpoons made from palm fibre and sharpened bone.

Settlement and the development of the resort
In 1916, Joseph Busuttin and his family became the island's first European settlers. The island's resort was first established in December 1933 when two of the Busuttin sons welcomed passengers from the P&O ship SS Canberra. Busuttin's sons then sold the resort and left in 1959.

There were several owners briefly over the next two years, Carapark and Hotels of Australia. In 1961, the island was purchased for 80,000 pounds by the McLean family which had been operating Roylen Cruises from Mackay which was started by Tom McLean MBE, a former World War II Army Engineer.

Tom McLean's son Fitzroy, who previously had been the Master of an ex-World War II Fairmile, Roylen Star, became the manager of the island. Another former Roylen skipper, Ray Smith, became the Assistant Manager. The resort developed quickly with the aid of the Roylen Cruise fleet, operating a system called Cruise n Stay, by utilising both vessels and the accommodation at the Island.

A small railway was introduced to run stores and supplies from the "Deep Water Jetty" to the resort. Due to the huge tidal differences (up to 6 metres or so) the jetty at the resort could only be utilised at certain times due to the depth of the water, whereas the "Deep Water Jetty" could be used around the clock.

An engineering feat during its day saw an airstrip built on the island in 1965 which operated TAA aircraft including (during the 1970s) De Havilland Twin Otters. It was, however, a relatively short airstrip and several aircraft had accidents there including one of TAA's Twin Otters. No one was killed in any of the accidents there.

There were several cyclones over this period and the island suffered considerable damage.

In the late '80s the island's owners started demolishing villa style accommodation and constructed a new upmarket block referred to as the "Blue Lagoon" block. In 1985, Trans Australia Airlines purchased Brampton Island, upgraded the resort and subsequently sold it to P&O Resorts in late 1997. Three million dollars was spent on a major refurbishment of the resort before it was purchased by Voyages.

Celia Douty murder
On 1 September 1983, British resort worker Celia Douty was murdered in Dinghy Bay on Brampton Island. The crime remained unsolved until 2001, when it became the first murder in Australia to be solved using DNA profiling.

Light plane crash
On 3 April 2008, a single-engine Piper Cherokee crashed into the ocean just after taking off from Brampton Island. The pilot and four passengers survived and were rescued by helicopter.

National park
Most of the island is part of Brampton Islands National Park, which is home to a range of wildlife and plants. There are also 17.8 km of walking tracks and a campsite, which requires a permit to use.

Resort
The Brampton Island Resort accommodates up to 220 guests in 106 rooms and is popular with couples. The resort offers a number of free and paid-for activities, including fishing trips, snorkelling and scenic flights.

The resort was operated by Voyages until 2010 when it was sold to Brampton Enterprises. In November 2010, Brampton Enterprises announced a major redevelopment of the resort which would involve closing the resort from 24 January 2011, with an expected reopening in December 2011. However, the resort did not reopen.

The resort has fallen into disrepair and is no longer used although a walking track is accessible from the beach to the lookout.
