Iranian National Jewels

The Iranian National Jewels (, Javāherāt-e Melli-ye Irān), originally the Iranian Crown Jewels (, Javāherāt-e Saltanati-ye Irān), include elaborate crowns, thirty tiaras, and numerous aigrettes, a dozen bejeweled swords and shields, a number of unset precious gems, numerous plates and other dining services cast in precious metals and encrusted with gems, and several other more unusual items (such as a large golden globe with the oceans made of emeralds) collected or worn by the Persian monarchs from the 16th century (Safavid Iran) and on. The collection is housed at the Treasury of National Jewels, situated inside the Central Bank of Iran on Tehran's Ferdowsi Street.

Safavid and Afsharid conquests
The majority of the items now in the collection were acquired by the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1502 to 1736 AD. Afghans invaded Iran in 1719 and sacked the then capital of Isfahan and took the Iranian crown jewels as plunder. By 1729, however, after an internal struggle of nearly a decade, Nader Shah Afshar successfully drove the Afghans from Iran. In 1738, the Shah launched his own campaign against the Afghan homeland. After taking and raiding the cities of Kandahar and Kabul as well as several principalities in far-off northern India, and sacking Delhi, the victorious Nader Shah returned to Iran with what remained of the plundered crown jewels as well as several other precious objects now found in the Iranian Treasury. These included diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and other precious gemstones. Four of the most prominent acquisitions from this conquest were the Koh-i-Noor and Darya-ye Noor diamonds (both originating from India and still amongst the largest in the world), the Peacock Throne, and the Samarian Spinel.

Modern use (Pahlavi dynasty–present)
The crown jewels were last used by the Pahlavi dynasty, the last to rule Iran. The splendor of the collection came to the attention of the western world largely through their use by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and his Shahbanu, Farah Pahlavi, during official ceremonies and state visits.

The Iranian crown jewels are considered so valuable that they are still used as a reserve to back Iranian currency (and have been used this way by several successive governments). In 1937, during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi, ownership of the Imperial treasury was transferred to the state. The jewels were placed in the vaults of Bank Melli Iran, where they were used as collateral to strengthen the financial power of the institution and to back the national monetary system. This important economic role is perhaps one reason why these jewels, undeniable symbols of Iran's monarchic past, have been retained by the current Islamic Republic.

Public display
Because of their great value and economic significance, the Iranian crown jewels were for centuries kept far from public view in the vaults of the Imperial treasury. However, as the first Pahlavi Shah had transferred ownership of the crown jewels to the state, his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, decreed that the most spectacular of the jewels should be put on public display at the Central Bank of Iran.

When the Iranian Revolution toppled the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979, it was feared that in the chaos the Iranian crown jewels had been stolen or sold by the revolutionaries. Although in fact some smaller items were stolen and smuggled across Iran's borders, the bulk of the collection remained intact. This became evident when the revolutionary government under the presidency of Hashemi Rafsanjani re-opened the permanent exhibition of the Iranian crown jewels to the public in the 1990s. They remain on public display.

The Royal Mace of Iran
The Royal Mace of Iran is a jewel-encrusted ceremonial mace, a part of the Iranian Crown Jewels. It was a favorite of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, who is often shown holding it in his miniature portraits. The mace is encrusted with spinels and diamonds, from end to end. It is 73 cm (2.4 ft) long. The largest diamond weighs 17 carats (3.4 g), and is located on the very top of the mace. The largest spinels are the six surrounding the top of the mace, each weighing 40 carats (8 g).

António Oliveira (footballer, born 1952)

António Luís Alves Ribeiro de Oliveira (born 10 June 1952) is a Portuguese former football attacking midfielder and manager.

As a player, he notably represented two of the Big Three in his country, Porto and Sporting, amassing totals of 267 matches and 99 Primeira Liga goals between the two and also later managing the former club with great success.

Also an international player, Oliveira had two coaching spells with the Portugal national team, leading them in one World Cup and one European Championship.

Playing career
Born in Penafiel, Porto District, Oliveira made his senior debut with FC Porto, first appearing in the Primeira Liga at the age of 18. From 1974 onwards, with the exception of one year, he always scored in double digits, netting a career-best 19 in the 1977–78 season as the northerners won the national championship after a 19-year drought.

In the summer of 1979, 27-year-old Oliveira moved to La Liga with Real Betis. He returned to Porto the following transfer window due to homesickness, being an important first-team element as the latter side finished second in the league, two points behind Sporting CP.

After helping hometown's F.C. Penafiel retain top-flight status – he left Porto alongside club director Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa and coach José Maria Pedroto following internal disputes – Oliveira signed with Sporting, helping them to the double in 1981–82. In 1985, aged 33, he moved to C.S. Marítimo, retiring at the end of the campaign with Portuguese top division totals of 296 matches and 109 goals; at both Penafiel and Marítimo, he acted as player-coach.

Oliveira earned 24 caps for Portugal over a nine-year spell, which included his player-manager career at Penafiel. He did not take part, however, in any major international tournament.

 * }

Coaching career
Oliveira started managing while still an active player. Exclusively a coach from 1987 onwards, his only full season in his beginnings was 1991–92, when he led modest Gil Vicente F.C. to the 13th position in the top flight.

After helping Portugal to the quarter-finals in UEFA Euro 1996, Oliveira signed for former club Porto, leading it to back-to-back national championships with the addition of one Portuguese Cup, won against S.C. Braga. His first season started with a 5–0 demolition of S.L. Benfica in the domestic Supercup, as the team went on to win the league with 85 points – a record which would last until the 2002–03 campaign, broken by José Mourinho's team – also reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League and being eliminated by Manchester United.

In summer 1998, Oliveira was appointed at another former club, Betis, but left the Andalusians before the season started. He returned to the national side two years later, qualifying to the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the first time in 16 years.

Several problems occurred during the preparation for the tournament in Japan and South Korea, and the competition itself: Vítor Baía replaced in-form Ricardo in goalkeeper, Beto played out of position at right back, Luís Figo was in very poor physical condition and Hugo Viana was called as a last-minute replacement for Daniel Kenedy, who tested positive in a doping control test;  after one win and two losses in the group stage, Portugal were eliminated and the manager was fired.

Afterwards, Oliveira was elected chairman of Penafiel Futebol Clube. He also majored in law, at the age of 54.

New Hall Valley Country Park

New Hall Valley Country Park is a country park located in New Hall Valley between Walmley, Wylde Green and Pype Hayes in the Sutton Coldfield area of north Birmingham. It is the first new country park in the UK for over a decade. The park is split into "phases".

It was created in 2005 by Birmingham City Council with funding raised from the release of land for the New Hall Manor Estate development and formally opened on August 29, 2005.

The park covers over 160 acres (0.6 km2) of designated green belt land to the south east of Sutton Park, including ancient woodland, historic wetland grazing meadows, former farmland, and part of Plants Brook. It borders on a number of privately owned listed buildings including the 17th century Grade II listed New Hall Mill, a corn mill. This is one of only two working water mills surviving in Birmingham water mills in Birmingham, with the other being Sarehole Mill in Hall Green. It has been restored and is open to the public on certain days or by prior arrangement. Bishop Walsh Catholic School borders the land, with the school's playing fields running adjacent for nearly 1.5 miles.

The park also includes a network of cycle routes and footpaths (52.55093°N, -1.80682°W, a plant nursery, a nature conservation site and two play areas for children.

The park is crossed by Wylde Green Road, which links Walmley and Wylde Green at either end. This road was crossed by a ford until around 1967.

Coopers Wood, the ancient woodland in the park, is under threat of being destroyed due to concerns that its trees, which are Crack Willow, may fall onto people using the paths that have been driven through them.

You can access the park:
 * By foot via Coleshill road at the bottom of Reddicap Hill Road, via the cycle path
 * By foot or via the carpark on Wylde Green Road (next to Bishop Walsh School)
 * By foot under the railway bridges on Ebrook Road and East View Road
 * By foot from Fledburgh Drive on the New Hall Estate
 * By foot down the cycle path from New Hall Manor Estate
 * By foot from the northern end of Pype Hayes Park via the Plants Brook
 * From Plants Brook Local Nature Reserve by crossing Eachelhurst Road heading towards Penns Lane

Dogfredify (talk) 02:37, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Although his attendance is relevant, and your reference from the Fader adequately verifies that (the YouTube videos do not, as they are not considered reliable sources), that isn't the issue. This is the issue, :
 * To be included in a notable alumni list, a person has to have attended the school, and they have to meet Wikipedia's definition of notability. That is best shown by linking to the biographical article on the person. The person in question here does not have one. Simply being a member of a notable group does not make the individual notable. You'll need to write his biography first.
 * You cannot add anything on Wikipedia anywhere that concerns a living person without providing references to reliable published sources.

 * Hope that clears this up. John from Idegon (talk) 03:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Lone Star Cup
Why exactly is it not being included on the page? A previous editor mentioned how it’s not major, but I heavily disagree with that claim. It’s run by UIL, the same organization that puts on the high school athletic events. Why are titles for the Lone Star Cup not included while other UIL championships are included? Also, other schools that have won the cup have it listed under their page. It makes zero sense to not include it on this page as well. 166.198.198.120 (talk) 15:11, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are referring to the edit by user:Haydoggy :

 * 1) If you are the same editor you are evading your block, again.
 * 2) We don't list lower level finishes, such as runners up.
 * 3) The UIL Cup claim is not reliably sourced. Wikipedia is not a a reliable source. As user:Drmies wrote: "Cite the source, please--a proper secondary source" Meters (talk) 18:15, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1. Don’t know what you’re referring to.
 * 2. I didn’t mention anything about runner ups. I’m talking about the school’s first place finishes.
 * 3. Then find another source. It takes 10 seconds. The person you were arguing with clearly doesn’t know what he/she is doing when it comes to sourcing. On the other hand, you are a veteran at Wikipedia editing. Make it easy and do a quick Google search. If you don’t want to do it, that’s fine. Just let me know and I’ll do it. 166.198.198.120 (talk) 16:06, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Despite your edit summary claiming that you have provided "proper sourcing" the cited source does not list the previous winning years, just that the 2020–21 win was the eight win. I have trimmed the material accordingly. Meters (talk) 06:33, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Operation Dragon King

Operation Dragon King (နဂါးမင်း စစ်ဆင်ရေး), officially known as Operation Nagamin in English, was a military operation carried in 1978 out by the Tatmadaw and immigration officials in northern Arakan, Burma (present-day Rakhine State, Myanmar), during the socialist rule of Ne Win.

Background
The Rohingya people are an ethnic minority that live in northern Arakan, Burma (present-day Rakhine State, Myanmar), who have suffered historical persecution by the Burmese government and Buddhist majority. After General Ne Win and his Burma Socialist Programme Party (BSPP) seized power in a coup in 1962, the government systematically dissolved Rohingya political and social organizations. The end of the liberation war in neighbouring Bangladesh strengthened the Burmese government's fears of "foreign invaders" infiltrating their country. So in 1977, the government began its preparations for Operation Dragon King, which commenced at the start of the following year.

Events
The official purpose of Operation Dragon King was to register citizens in northern Arakan and expel so-called "foreigners" from the area prior to a national census. Immigration officials and military personnel conducted the operation together, with the latter being accused by Rohingya refugees of forcibly evicting villagers through intimidation, rape and murder.

The operation began on 6 February 1978, beginning in the village of Sakkipara in the Sittwe District, where there were mass round ups of civilians. In the span of over three months, approximately 200,000 to 250,000 refugees, mostly Rohingya Muslims, fled to Bangladesh. The government of Burma estimated that 150,000 fled during the operation, and proclaimed that the mass exodus signified that Rohingyas were in-fact "illegal immigrants". The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the government of Bangladesh provided emergency relief to the refugees, but were overwhelmed by the magnitude of the humanitarian crisis. Bangladesh requested assistance from the United Nations, and a UNHCR relief mission was sent to the region.

On 31 July 1978, the governments of Burma and Bangladesh reached an agreement regarding the repatriation of Rohingya refugees, and 180,000 returned to Burma following the agreement.

Talk:Mohonk Preserve

Untitled
The page Mohonk Mountain House was created on March 9, 2005, and is now it pretty good shape, IMHO. When I worked on it, I was unaware that the Mohonk Preserve link redirected here. I can see no useful purpose for combining the two, so I am proposing that this article be renamed simply Mohonk Preserve. I will continue to work on expanding it. Mwanner 23:35, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

 * This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 23:32, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"See Six States"
Every locale has an interest (historical, cultural, or economic) in describing itself as interesting.

Nevertheless, Mohonk Mountain's highest point, the top of the tower at Sky Top, is geographically interesting: you can see six states from up there on a clear day, goes the claim. Is it true? Can anyone verify?

The six are NY (you're in it), CT (closest to E.), MA (CT's not that big), NJ (far side of NYC? Dubious), PA (closer than parts of NJ), and whichever of Vermont or New Hampshire is on the west, I always forget. :)

For comparison, note the claim discussed in Metropulse about "seeing seven states" - and the problem of smog, and of distances approaching and even beyond 100 miles.

If anyone can verify the Mohonk claim using NPOV sources, please say so. The NYTimes, among other sources, agrees with the claim (and it's Vermont, not New Hampshire, that is west of the other, and just north of Connecticut). See this article.

 * Um, Vermont is just north of MA. (Directly north of CT, yes; just north, no.) --75.69.176.225 (talk) 19:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

"Land Grab" ?
Paragraph states: The Mohonk Preserve has been involved in numerous land disputes with their neighbors. The confrontational land grab tactics of the Mohonk Preserve, which includes the use of adverse possession, has led to the formation of the Mohonk Neighbors Association.

The bolded words are not backed up by any information justifying the claims. I have searched for the "Mohonk Neighbors Association" and the only reference I find is this page.

I am deleting the referenced paragraph. If someone has facts that back this up, I would appreciate input.

--BrianJ48 (talk) 01:57, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

That fact that a single individual cannot find a topic with a web search is not sufficient evidence to prove its non-existence. Many organizations (perhaps most smaller ones) do not have a distinct web presence.

In the interest of keeping the Wiki a reliable secondary source, here is some of the research that was formerly lacking:

MPNA: http://gunks.com/ubbthreads7/ubbthreads.php/topics/16281/An_Open_Letter_to_The_Mohonk_P?PHPSESSID=51305c8ce9cf9a7836e5e529bc245eea

 * The above link does not constitute a reliable source as this is merely an append to an open forum. In addition, the open letter referenced never mentions a formal group called Mohonk Preserve Neighbors Association.  Prairienut (talk) 16:32, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Questionable land acquisition tactics: Ulster County Supreme Court Civil Actions: 03-1717, 04-525, 05-1722, 09-2747. Map #9595. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.143.33 (talk) 16:40, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

All of the negative additions about "land grab" and the Mohonk Preserve Neighbors Association are biased and should be reverted. The IP address(es) adding them should be blocked from tampering with the page. The changes are added by a disgruntled neighbor (Chris Ullrich) who has an injunction against him for cutting standing trees and lighting fires on Mohonk Preserve property (court document copied below). He is also the "Mohonk Preserve Neighbors Association" and is trying to make it sound like it is more of a formal organization than some guy with an axe to grind.

Court decision: 09-2747 RJI No. 55-09-0162 HON. MARY M. WORK Assigned Justice

Plaintiff. MP Defendant. MP neighbors

The Court finds that plaintiff has established the elements required to entitle it to a preliminary injunction: a likelihood of success on the merits, a potential for irreparable harm, and a balance of the equities in their favor (Aetna Ins. Co. v. Capasso, 75 NY2d 860,862 [1990]).

With respect to the merits, as the Court's lengthy recitation of defendants' unfulfilled promises to obtain a survey demonstrates, defendants have had since at least 2005 to produce a survey demonstrating their ownership of the disputed parcel. It took plaintiffs surveyor only three months to produce a survey. The fact that defendants have failed to secure a survey at this late date in the legal proceedings suggests that such a survey would not be favorable to their position. The plaintiff has produced a survey by an apparently highly qualified surveyor, who is the successor in practice to the individual upon whose work defendants rely for their claim to the disputed portion. Defendants did not produce Mr. Pauli's topographic map in support of their opposition to the motion. The title insurer of defendants' property has submitted an affidavit in support of plaintiffs position.

With respect to irreparable harm, the Court finds that the cutting down of standing trees and/or the cutting up of downed trees constitutes irreparable harm to the ecosystem the Mohonk Preserve was created to safeguard (Gramercy Co. v. Benenson, 223 AD2d 497 [I" Dept 1996]). The building of fires on Mohonk Preserve land creates a potential for a forest fire, which could cause devastating harm to the Preserve. The equities clearly tilt in favor of the plaintiff Defendants own approximately 14 acres on which they can camp and cut up fire wood. Without knowing the open burning regulations of the Town in which their property is situated, the Court cannot say that they can freely build fires on their property, but they certainly have no need to burn fires on what, from all evidence now before the Court, appears to be the property of the Mohonk Preserve.

The motion for a preliminary injunction is granted. Plaintiff shall submit an order in accordance with this decision, excepting only the right of defendants to use the shale driveway as it currently exists for access to their property.

This constitutes the decision of the Court. The original decision and order are returned to the attorney for plaintiff. A copy of this decision, and all other papers, are delivered to the Supreme Court Clerk for transmission to the Ulster County Clerk for filing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.35.35.35 (talk) 18:37, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

The land disputes discussed are not significant enough to warrant inclusion in this article, it would seem. Anyone have any support to offer for the inclusion of this material? Ironically, the following paragraph explains how the former paragraph is insignificant, contradicting the inclusion of either paragraph. Strawbrrymlkmore (talk) 16:28, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

More on Land Disputes

The land disputes between the Mohonk Preserve and their neighbors have been discussed in multiple online fora, in reader letters to local papers, and in articles found in several news publications including The New York Times, The New Paltz Times, and the award winning progressive Hudson Valley magazine Chronogram. As such, these disputes seem worthy of mention here in the Wikipedia article on the Mohonk Preserve.

Further, the assertion above that all of the negative changes are added by a single disgruntled neighbor is false. It's the kind of assertion one might expect from an organization with a full time professional public relations staff. Rather than having a single disgruntled neighbor, it's well and widely known in the community that the Mohonk Preserve does not get along with a great many of its neighbors. It should come as no surprise to anyone that this is being documented here on wiki.

Finally, regarding the injunction cited, injunctions are not determinations of fact. They are instead intended to maintain the status quo until a determination of fact can be made. Until the court issues a decision regarding Mohonk Preserve vs Ullrich, all parties involved would be wise to not consider any actions by the court as an indicator of a future decision.

If the trivial is going to be included, at least include the Preserve response

Try as you might, you can't argue the merit of something because you post it lots of places and contact newspapers.

The disgruntled user, who is part of the suit mentioned above, is making a joke of this page. None of the land dispute items belong on this page. The user making these edits is the same person trying to make it sound like there is a lot of discussion of the topic, and is the driver for the posting on those forums, contacting the papers, and making these edits.

But, if anyone else really thinks this topic should be included in here, it seems only fair to leave in the Preserve's response to the claims and a paragraph giving some perspective on the whole tempest in a teacup.

I'd prefer just dropping the whole mess which really doesn't fit and is not of merit in the overview description of the preserve.

More on land dispute edits..

If any moderators are checking in, information about the Mohonk Preserve's litigation is being deleted and restored. The information is cited in accordance with wiki guidelines. A couple of editors have claimed that the edits adding information about this litigation are being made by one person under different names and using different IP addresses. This is not so.

 * There's more criteria for inclusion in Wiki than just being well cited: for example, worthiness, balance, and neutrality.  A reader who knew nothing about the Preserve would learn a lot about the current litigation but nothing about it being a destination for rock climbers from all over the world and providing long-term continuous climate and phenological data to climate scientists.  Plus the text on litigation was biased (intentional or not) in that it linked to a news article about a case that the Preserve lost but did not link to an article where the Preserve won. Prairienut (talk) 22:48, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Hooray, a personal grudge carried out on Wikipedia

Regardless of who is making the edits, the content as Orikull is trying to have it remain is biased and does not meet the "worthiness" test. This is purely a grudge from a disgruntled neighbor (and/or his partner/friends). The fact that a huge land preserve agency is involved in a lawsuit is not special - it is a matter of course. Should all of their regular legal items be cataloged here? Call out the neighbor the preserve had to get a restraining order against for the threats he made to rangers?

And if this content is deemed worthy by community standards, it should at least not be biased. Orikull is removing the paragraph that gives context to the lawsuit, including a direct response from the preserve. Then, once the merit and bias are addressed, the actual flow and organization can be addressed. As is, the "grudge" paragraph is sort of haphazardly tossed in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.224.90.34 (talk) 11:29, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

A Compromise

As a compromise I've left in the bit about perspective but have still removed the bit about the preserve owning the 116 acres that is the subject of litigation. The courts will decide ownership and then we can all read about it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orikull (talk • contribs) 15:05, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Mohonk Preserve has prevailed in both of the recent boundary dispute court cases. So the courts have indeed decided ownership, and appeals have been exhausted. These decisions confirm the wisdom of omitting details of pending litigation in a Wiki article.  Rather than reading all about it here, interested parties can obtain the court transcripts from the Ulster County clerk's office.Prairienut (talk) 05:24, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Attempted Land Theft Issue is Notable

The land fraud issue has been litigated for 15 years, with threats dating to the 1960s. This has been covered by The New York Times, Woodstock Times, Chronogram magazine and other venues. I am personally aware of at least 10 cases involving threats or litigation, all of it baseless. One family has been on five separate occasions and won every time. This is a way of life for Mohonk Preserve and there are sufficient secondary sources to establish notability. Dioxinfreak (talk) 05:39, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

 * "Attempted land theft" is an opinion, not a fact. Saying that all the litigation is baseless is an opinion, not a fact.  Saying it is a "way of life" for the preserve is an opinion, too.  The Ullrich case was just upheld on appeal in the Preserve's favor (decision is available online).  If there was aggression in this case, it wasn't from the Preserve.  The Fink case is more complicated and arguable, and is still under appellate review.  But regardless of these outcomes, I consider a section on active litigation as inappropriate for an encyclopedic level of detail.  I have read the cases myself and they are fairly ordinary boundary disputes with old, complicated, and/or flawed deeds.  I see no evidence of frivolous lawsuits or bullying.  They are disputes that any landowner would take up to defend what they in good faith believe to be their boundaries.  Rather tedious to anyone other than the litigants.  Wiki isn't the place to promote conspiracy theories. Prairienut (talk) 22:48, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

If there are sufficient secondary sources, cite them.

Otherwise, remove the section.

This section is completely out of proportion to the rest of the article.

The Preserve has many functions relating to conservation, research, recreation, and education. Almost as much column space is being given to these two lawsuits as there is for a description of the entire mission of the Preserve. It is pretty clear that this section is being pushed by a few people with a bone to pick who are not attempting to provide the missing citations and are using loaded words such as "land acquisition tactics" and "adverse possession". I would like to discuss here the merits of removing this section vs. leaving it in. After allowing two weeks of discussion, I plan to delete this section. In the meantime, I will be adjusting the wording to be more factual and dispassionate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prairienut (talk • contribs) 17:04, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

 * The whole article is a complete mess. And that includes the POV lawsuit section. And also the useless immense lists of directors, etc. Feel free to edit and also to add to the article with more appropriate material. Provide citations if you can and know how. Remember to sign your Talk page posts by using four tildes. Softlavender (talk) 01:54, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the tips. Just watched the tutorial on citations so will try to follow the guidelines on any new material. 76.15.8.165 (talk) 12:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I used material from a recent Poughkeepsie Journal article to improve the Intro, History, and Description sections. There have been no comments here for several weeks justifying why the Boundary Disputes section should remain so I have removed it.  Even though there were citations, the detailed descriptions of a couple of lawsuits is not at all in keeping with the level of detail in the rest of the article.  Mohonk Preserve recently prevailed in one of these lawsuits so a clear pattern of "questionable land acquisition tactics" cannot be presented as indisputable fact anyway.  It is an opinion by certain disgruntled landowners and their friends.  These arguable points do not belong in Wiki. Prairienut (talk) 15:26, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

History of the name Mohonk
The fictitious Lenape translation of Mohonk as "lake in the sky" went unchallenged since the creation of this page. As soon as the origin of the name was challenged with supported documentation, GoGunks suddenly decides that the origin is "irrelevant to the Preserve" and erases the correction. The Mohonk Preserve employs a full-time historian and considers documenting the cultural history of the ridge, including the native history, part of its mission. The Mohonk Mountain House employs a full-time archivist and briefs its staff daily on the history of the hotel.

So, why wouldn't clarifying the origin of Mohonk be relevant to this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlgH2O (talk • contribs) 02:00, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Problem with the history section is that there is way too much on the origin of the name and hardly anything on the actual history of the preserve. This article in general has no sense of proportion. 76.15.8.165 (talk) 12:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I condensed the derivation of the name Mohonk down to a couple sentences to be more in balance with the rest of the history section. Prairienut (talk) 19:35, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Is it 90 miles or 2 hours?
, - I've seen the edit war between the pair of you and my preference is for Softlavender's version. "2 hours" is not encyclopedic language (is that "2 hours" in a car, an RV, a 44 tonner or something else?) and not everyone (particularly those who don't live in the US) know that "NY" means "New York State". Please can you justify your changes? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:00, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Ritchie, you've missed the fact that the IP is vandalizing by removing text lower down on the article, in addition to IP-hopping between three different IPs. Look again. These are the same set of IP ranges that repeatedly vandalize Mohonk Mountain House and cause that article to have to be repeatedly semi-protected. Softlavender (talk) 11:04, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Got it. I've asked for this article to be semi'd - that should sort things out. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:11, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I had already done that long before. In my opinion it really should be semi'ed for six months, like Mohonk Mountain House. In a week they'll probably be back doing the same thing. Softlavender (talk) 21:55, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Somebody is clearly unhappy with our representation of the Mohonk Preserve and the Mountain House, I'm just not sure exactly what or why. Oh well, some more eyes are looking at this now so it should be less of a long term issue. I general, I find a brief note on the talk page as to the background of previous disputes helps, otherwise a third party looking at this just sees "revert", "revert", "revert" and has to work out the context from scratch. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:05, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

 * It's trolling pure and simple. We've tried to interact with the IP hopper(s) and they never respond, they just keep accelerating the trolling. That's why the longterm semi-protection is necessary. Softlavender (talk) 23:02, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

John Wycliffe Lowes Forster

J. W. L. Forster or, more formally, John Wycliffe Lowes Forster (31 December 1850 – 24 April 1938) was a Canadian artist specializing in portraits. Many of his works can be found at the National Gallery of Canada.

Career
In Toronto in 1869, he started his art education as a student of portrait painter John Wesley Bridgman (1833–1902). For his portrait of Bridgman, he won first place in the amateur division at the Upper Canada Agricultural Society's annual fair in 1871. In 1879 Forster studied for three months at the South Kensington Art School in London with Canadian landscape painter Charles Stuart Millard (1837-1917). After that, he attended the Académie Julian in Paris, studying with Jules Joseph Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger (1880-1882); Tony Robert-Fleury and William-Adolphe Bouguereau; and later, with Carolus Duran.

He returned to Toronto in 1883 and was elected a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Among his writings are 2 volumes of autobiography and a survey of early Ontario artists.

Woodbridge High School (Irvine, California)

Woodbridge High School (WHS) is a public high school located in Irvine, California, United States, serving grades 9–12. Woodbridge is in the Irvine Unified School District. Founded in 1980, it has an approximate enrollment of 2,400 students. The school is located in the neighborhood of the same name.

Greg Cops was the founding principal and retired in 2002.

The current administrative staff as of 2020 includes principal Christopher Krebs and assistant principals Carlene McCurry, Angela Pimentel, and Linzi Gorzycki.

Woodbridge has had many improvements and renovations. A recent example is the new Aquatic Center which contains a 50 meter by 25 yard swimming pool, portable bleachers, restroom facilities and locker rooms. A new theater and a new synthetic track and turf field has also been constructed as of May 2021.

Of note, the 1989 movie Gleaming the Cube starring Christian Slater was filmed partially at Woodbridge High School.

Academic teams and extracurricular activities
Woodbridge offers a strong array of extracurricular academic organizations and hosts an annual Academic Teams Banquet.

The Woodbridge High Entertainment Corps represented the state of California in 2010 in the Field Show International competition held in Washington D.C., taking first place in the Nation. The school's percussion ensemble is also considered one of the best in the nation. In 2012 the ensemble swept the World Championships in the concert division with a record setting score of 99.6 out of 100.

The school's chapter of the National Junior Classical League is one of the top in the nation. Woodbridge hosts an annual Certamen invitational and regularly hosts Southern California Regional Amici Madness and the California Junior Classical League Convention. Multiple Woodbridge students have served as officers at the state and national levels of JCL.

The Academic Decathlon team is one of the most prestigious academic teams at Woodbridge High School. In 2006, they won the Orange Country Academic Decathlon and won seven more times over the course of eight years from 2017 to 2024. The Academic Decathlon team reached the state finals of the California Academic Decathlon in 2006, 2007, and every year from 2012 to 2024. It was ranked as 1st in Division III in 2012, 8th in Division II in 2013, 1st in Division II in 2014, and 3rd in Division I in both 2022 and 2023 among around 70 schools competing at the state level every year.

The robotics team currently competes in the FIRST Tech Challenge as the 9040 STEAMpunks. The STEAMpunks frequently engage in outreach activities to local elementary and middle schools, such as Springbrook Elementary School, Stone Creek Elementary School, and Lakeside Middle School. Originally, Woodbridge High School boasted a nationally competitive FIRST Robotics Competition Team under the name of 1047 Echoes, but died down due to a series of financial cuts and declining participation.

The Model United Nations team has won many significant awards (Best Delegate, Commendations, Research). The Woodbridge MUN team has competed in numerous local high school and college conferences as well.

Woodbridge also sponsors National History Day, Mock Trial, Science Bowl, Ocean Sciences Bowl, competitive basket-weaving, Science Olympiad, and FIRST Robotics Teams.

Alberger process

The Alberger process is an industrial method of producing salt from rock salt.

Method
The Alberger process begins by heating brine under high pressure with a series of heaters. Impurities are removed using a tank filled with granite cubes called a graveler. When the pressure is released, salt crystals form in a steam-heated evaporation pan. This results in a three-dimensional pyramid-shaped flake salt, which has low bulk density, high solubility, and good adhesion. According to a scientific article from 1946, the process results in salt of high purity but "is the least economical method for the production of a given quantity of salt."

Production
Cargill operates a plant in St. Clair, Michigan that is the only place in the United States that manufactures such salt using the Alberger process. Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt is a brand of salt produced using the Alberger process. Because of its shape, density and flavor characteristics, it is often a preferred choice by snack food manufacturers.

History
The method was patented by Charles L. Weil on June 8, 1915.

Wöhler process

The Wöhler process was one of the first routes for producing aluminium metal. It involves the reduction of anhydrous aluminium chloride with potassium, produced powdered aluminium:
 * AlCl3 +  3 K   →   Al  +  3 KCl

With advent of more efficient means of electrolysis, e.g., Hall–Héroult process, the Wöhler process and related chemical-based routes became obsolete.

History
In 1827, Friedrich Wöhler refined a process discovered by Hans Christian Ørsted, a Danish chemist, who first produced impure aluminium in 1825. With the newly made Al metal, he established the specific gravity of aluminium in 1845.

Markus Hess

Markus Hess is a German hacker who was active in the 1980s. Alongside Dirk Brzezinski and Peter Carl, Hess hacked into networks of military and industrial computers based in the United States, Europe and East Asia, and sold the information to the Soviet KGB for US$54,000. During his time working for the KGB, Hess is estimated to have broken into 400 U.S. military computers. The hacked material included "sensitive semiconductor, satellite, space, and aircraft technologies".

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
Hess's hacking activities were discovered in 1986 by Clifford Stoll, an astronomer turned system administrator of the computer center of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) in California. Stoll's first job duty was to track a 75-cent accounting error in the LBL system. Early in his investigation, Stoll discovered that the LBL computer system was compromised and that the hacker had obtained root, or system privileges. Such a security compromise was more important than the accounting error. Stoll eventually discovered how the hacker broke in and identified the hacker's activities on the system. LBL management considered attempting to seal off the system from this hacker, but Stoll and his colleagues convinced LBL's management that this would not be effective. Ultimately, they installed a honeypot to ensnare the hacker.

Getting in
Hess' initial activities started at the University of Bremen in Germany through the German Datex-P network via satellite link or transatlantic cable to the Tymnet International Gateway. Tymnet was a "gateway" service that a user called into that routed them to any one of a number of computer systems that also used the service. Tymnet was one of a number of services available that provided local telephone numbers, where directly accessing the computer would have been a long-distance call. Users normally used packet switching services like Tymnet for their lower costs. Once he accessed Tymnet, Hess branched out to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and to the Tymnet Switching System. It was through this switching system that he accessed the LBL computers.

Hess was able to attack 400 U.S. military computers by using LBL to "piggyback" to ARPANET and MILNET. ARPANET was a civilian wide area network created by the Department of Defense, which would later become what is now known as the Internet. MILNET was its military counterpart.

Targets
The facilities that Hess breached included:
 * SRI International – Menlo Park, California, U.S.
 * U.S. Army Darcom – Seckenheim, West Germany
 * Fort Buckner, Camp Foster – Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
 * U.S. Army 24th Infantry – Fort Stewart, Georgia, U.S.
 * U.S. Navy Coastal Systems Computer – Panama City, Florida, U.S.
 * U.S. Air Force – Ramstein Air Base, West Germany
 * Massachusetts Institute of Technology MX Computer, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.
 * OPTIMIS Database – The Pentagon, U.S.
 * United States Air Force Systems Command – El Segundo, California, U.S.
 * Anniston Army Depot – Anniston, Alabama, U.S.

Tracking Hess and his capture
Stoll, with the help of local authorities, traced the call to a Tymnet switch in Oakland, California. Because the call came from Oakland rather than Berkeley, it was obvious that the hacker was not working local to the university. Tymnet officials helped LBL trace the various calls, even though the hacker attempted to conceal their origin. Enlisting the aid of AT&T and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Stoll eventually determined that the calls were being "piggybacked" across the United States, but originated from Hanover, Germany.

Stoll trapped Hess by creating records of a bogus military project conducted on LBL computers; according to The Cuckoo's Egg, he and his girlfriend conceived this plan while showering, giving it the unofficial name of "Operation Showerhead". While the bogus information was convincing, the primary goal was simply to keep the hacker connected long enough to trace his connection, and with the hope that the hacker might send a written request for further information listed as available in hard copy. This simple technique worked: a request for the additional information was received from a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania address.

At the time, this type of hacking was unheard of, and it was a considerable challenge to get the cooperation of the FBI and the West German government. Eventually, the West German authorities were able to break in and arrest Hess. Hess went to trial in 1990, and Stoll testified against him. Hess was found guilty of espionage and was given a 20-month suspended sentence.

Literature and films
After Hess's capture, Stoll wrote about his efforts to track and locate Hess in a technical paper "Stalking the Wily Hacker" for the journal Communications of the ACM and a book The Cuckoo's Egg for the general public. The Cuckoo's Egg was adapted into a 1990 Nova episode "The KGB, The Computer, and Me".

"23", a semi-fictional 1998 German movie about the incident, merges Hess with another hacker into a single character, David.

Wiki Education assignment: HUM 202 - Introduction to Mythology
— Assignment last updated by Rockethound (talk) 21:56, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Article Evaluation and Question
Question: Have any more sources been discovered that relate to Deimos, whether it be more mythological stories he has been in or more context to his role in the Greek Pantheon?

Lead Section: Does a good job in giving a detailed rundown on Deimos, such as giving insight into his heritage, family, and his basic premise.

Content: The content is very relevant to the topic, and each story with Deimos is balanced when giving the summary for what he did in each story. Although it does feel like there could be more information, sources on Deimos could be limited so there may still be new or unexplored details.

Tone and Balance: The article stays neutral, only referring to the facts about Deimos without adding any extra opinions or tidbits that do not relate to Deimos. There are no biased claims, and all viewpoints are accurately represented.

Sources and References: All the articles appear to be fact-checked, as well as pulling from original sources of work that have been verified heavily.

Organization and Writing Quality: The writing quality is crisp, consistent, and lacks any grammatical errors. The sections are broken down fairly well, although more information could be added to his roles in each work of Greek literature, but if there is none, it is no big deal.

Images and Media: The images included are minimal, but do add a lot to the topic of Deimos. They clearly demonstrate how he looked, as well as his job. More images could be included, such as more paintings from the Greek or Roman era.

Talk page Discussion: The talk page is fairly empty, but the reasonings and edits described look good.

Overall Impressions: This page does a good job at cataloguing a minor Greek God, but could use more information from other sources he was included in, as well as more images to better represent the image of Deimos. These images could be derived from his stories, or just general adaptations of Deimos.

Atrocity (band)

Atrocity is a German metal band from Ludwigsburg that formed in 1985.

History
First started in 1985 as Instigators and playing grindcore, Atrocity arose as a death metal band with their debut EP, Blue Blood, in 1989, followed soon by Hallucinations, a concept album about drug use. Their second album, Todessehnsucht ("longing for death"), ventured into death metal classics with a cover of "Archangel" by the band Death. Their musical scope broadened over the years, incorporating medieval and horror influences on their 1994 Dracula-based concept album Atrocity's Blut, (styled after the successful film Bram Stoker's Dracula). Atrocity's Blut was followed by Calling the Rain, an MCD with female vocals by guest singer Yasmin Krull and acoustic music.

The 1996 release Willenskraft introduced industrial elements, with the special bonus CD of the album's special edition (Kraft und Wille) including electronic remixes of the songs. The later releases were less and less metallic; Werk 80 featured versions of 1980s disco hits and the band had no apparent direction for the following few years. Unusual MCD releases and experimental songs like "Lili Marlene" covers (featured on Gemini) estranged many of their original metal fans.

After 2000, nothing had been heard from Atrocity and seemed to have disbanded. However, they returned after four years with a new concept album, Atlantis, centered on the myths of the sunken continent of Atlantis. The album also features the vocals of Alexander's wife, Liv-Kristine Espanaes Krull (formerly in Theatre of Tragedy). The band members also formed the atmospheric metal band Leaves' Eyes, which features Liv Kristine as lead singer.

The release of the eleventh album After the Storm in 2010 started a new era for the band in the ethno metal genre. Yasmin Krull returned a second time as guest singer and instrumentalist for the project.

On 11 November 2007, Atrocity announced that bassist Chris Lukhaup was leaving the band for personal reasons and that drummer Moritz Neuner was taking another turn in his working career. Seven Antonopolous was named as the new drummer in late October 2008.

Abdel Hakim Amer

Mohamed Abdel Hakim Amer (محمد عبد الحكيم عامر, ; 11 December 1919 – 13 September 1967) was an Egyptian military officer and politician. Amer served in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and played a leading role in the military coup that overthrew King Farouk in 1952. After leading Egyptian forces in the 1956 Suez war, he was appointed Minister for Defense by President Gamal Abdel Nasser and was Egyptian Vice President between 1958 and 1965.

Early life and education
Amer was born in Samalut, in the El Minya on 11 December 1919. He was from an affluent family, and his father was a land owner and village mayor. His uncle served as the minister of war during the reign of King Farouk.

After finishing school, Amer attended the Egyptian Military Academy and graduated in 1938. He was commissioned into the Egyptian Army in 1939.

Military career

Amer served in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, took part in the 1952 Revolution and commanded the Egyptian Army in the Suez Crisis, the North Yemen Civil War and the Six-Day War.

Amer played a leading role in the military coup that overthrew King Farouk in 1952 and brought General Muhammad Naguib and Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser to power. The following year, Amer was promoted straight from major to major-general, bypassing four military ranks, and was made Egypt's Chief of the General Staff. In 1956, Amer was appointed commander-in-chief of the joint military command established by Egypt and Syria. He also led Egyptian forces against both Israeli and allied British-French forces during the 1956 Suez war. After the fighting ended, Amer accused Nasser of provoking an unnecessary war and then blaming the military for the result. As Nasser's representative in Syria, Amer was detained by rebels during the 1961 Syrian coup d'état and sent back to Cairo.

In March 1964, Amer was made first vice-president to Nasser and deputy supreme commander, with the power to rule for 60 days if the president was incapacitated. Amer's distinguished career came to a sudden end after Egypt's crushing defeat by Israel in the Six-Day War of June 1967. Many historians, including Hazem Kandil, place much of the responsibility for the Egyptian military's failure in the 1967 war at the feet of Amer. This was because Amer's control of the Egyptian military establishment was in line with President Gamal Abdel-Nasser's general policy of making different government institutions fiefdoms to those most loyal to him. In addition, the proxy war Egypt (with Soviet backing) fought against the Saudis, Western powers and Israelis in the North Yemen Civil War (1962–1970), with Nasser supporting the Yemen Arab Republic against the Western and Saudi Arabian backed Royalists, is also viewed as being key to Egypt's defeat in the 1967 Middle East war; as nearly half of the Egypt's Western-trained officer-corps (mostly in Britain at Sandhurst) were in Yemen at the time of the initial Israeli attack on Egypt. On 6 June 1967 on the second day of the Six-Day War, when Amer heard of the fall of Abu Ageila to Israel, he was said to have panicked and ordered all units in the Sinai to retreat. This order effectively meant the defeat of Egypt and thus turning the Egyptian retreat into a rout. On 17 June 1967 shortly after the Six Day War ended, Amer was relieved of all his duties and forced into early retirement.

Arrest and contested cause of death
In August 1967, Amer, along with over 50 Egyptian military officers and two former ministers, including Shams Badran, were arrested for allegedly plotting a coup to overthrow Gamal Abdel Nasser. Amer was kept under house arrest at his villa in Giza.

According to the official Egyptian position, Amer was rushed to hospital on 13 September 1967 in an attempt to save his life after he attempted suicide by swallowing "a large amount of poison pills" upon the arrival of Egyptian officers to question him. After surviving and being taken home, he managed to evade his guards and swallow more pills he kept hidden under an adhesive plaster on his leg. Later, Cairo radio announced his burial in his home village of Astal.

Another version of the circumstances surrounding Amer's death held that Amer was approached at his house on 13 September by high-ranking Egyptian officers and given a choice: to stand trial for treason, which would inevitably have ended with his conviction and execution, or to die an honourable death by taking poison. Amer chose the latter option and received a full military burial. Anwar Al Sadat, who later became President of Egypt, expressed his opinion that if he was in Amer's position, he would have done the same soon after the Six-Day War.

In September 2012, Amer's family filed a case to investigate his death. They claimed that he was murdered. Also, in a statement translated from Al-Masry Al-Youm published on 5 May 2015, the family's lawyer cited reports confirming that Amer's death was not self-inflicted, including an interview with Anwar Sadat's widow published on 26 April of that year.

Quadrupole mass analyzer

In mass spectrometry, the quadrupole mass analyzer (or quadrupole mass filter) is a type of mass analyzer originally conceived by Nobel laureate Wolfgang Paul and his student Helmut Steinwedel. As the name implies, it consists of four cylindrical rods, set parallel to each other. In a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) the quadrupole is the mass analyzer – the component of the instrument responsible for selecting sample ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). Ions are separated in a quadrupole based on the stability of their trajectories in the oscillating electric fields that are applied to the rods.

Principle of operation
The quadrupole consists of four parallel metal rods. Each opposing rod pair is connected together electrically, and a radio frequency (RF) voltage with a DC offset voltage is applied between one pair of rods and the other. Ions travel down the quadrupole between the rods. Only ions of a certain mass-to-charge ratio will reach the detector for a given ratio of voltages: other ions have unstable trajectories and will collide with the rods. This permits selection of an ion with a particular m/z or allows the operator to scan for a range of m/z-values by continuously varying the applied voltage. Mathematically this can be modeled with the help of the Mathieu differential equation.

Ideally, the rods are hyperbolic, however cylindrical rods with a specific ratio of rod diameter-to-spacing provide an easier-to-manufacture adequate approximation to hyperbolas. Small variations in the ratio have large effects on resolution and peak shape. Different manufacturers choose slightly different ratios to fine-tune operating characteristics in context of anticipated application requirements. Since the 1980s, the MAT company and subsequently Finnigan Instrument Corporation used hyperbolic rods produced with a mechanical tolerance of 0.001 mm, whose exact production process was a well-kept secret within the company.

Multiple quadrupoles, hybrids and variations
A linear series of three quadrupoles is known as a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The first (Q1) and third (Q3) quadrupoles act as mass filters, and the middle (q2) quadrupole is employed as a collision cell. This collision cell is an RF-only quadrupole (non-mass filtering) using Ar, He, or N2 gas (~10−3 Torr, ~30 eV) for collision induced dissociation of selected parent ion(s) from Q1. Subsequent fragments are passed through to Q3 where they may be filtered or fully scanned.

This process allows for the study of fragments that are useful in structural elucidation by tandem mass spectrometry. For example, the Q1 may be set to 'filter' for a drug ion of known mass, which is fragmented in q2. The third quadrupole (Q3) can then be set to scan the entire m/z range, giving information on the intensities of the fragments. Thus, the structure of the original ion can be deduced.

The arrangement of three quadrupoles was first developed by Jim Morrison of La Trobe University in Australia for the purpose of studying the photodissociation of gas-phase ions. The first triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer was developed at Michigan State University by Christie Enke and graduate student Richard Yost in the late 1970s.

Quadrupoles can be used in hybrid mass spectrometers. For example, a sector instrument can be combined with a collision quadrupole and quadrupole mass analyzer to form a hybrid instrument.

A mass-selecting quadrupole and collision quadrupole with time-of-flight device as the second mass selection stage is a hybrid known as a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (QTOF MS). Quadrupole-quadrupole-time-of-flight (QqTOF) configurations are also possible and used especially the mass spectrometry of peptides and other large biological polymers.

A variant of the quadrupole mass analyzer called the monopole was invented by von Zahn which operates with two electrodes and generates one quarter of the quadrupole field. It has one circular electrode and one V-shaped electrode. The performance is, however, lower than that of a quadrupole mass analyzer.

An enhancement to the performance of the quadrupole mass analyzer has been demonstrated to occur when a magnetic field is applied to the instrument. Manifold improvements in resolution and sensitivity have been reported for a magnetic field applied in various orientations to a QMS.

Applications
These mass spectrometers excel at applications where particular ions of interest are being studied because they can stay tuned on a single ion for extended periods of time. One place where this is useful is in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry where they serve as exceptionally high specificity detectors. Quadrupole instruments are often reasonably priced and make good multi-purpose instruments. A single quadrupole mass spectrometer with an electron impact ionizer is used as a standalone analyzer in residual gas analyzers, real-time gas analyzers, plasma diagnostics and SIMS surface analysis systems.

Kevin Campbell (footballer)

Kevin Joseph Campbell (4 February 1970 – 15 June 2024) was an English professional footballer, sports television pundit and commentator.

A striker, Campbell played in the Premier League for Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Everton and West Bromwich Albion. He also played in the Turkish Süper Lig for Trabzonspor, and in the Football League for Arsenal, Leyton Orient, Leicester City and Cardiff City.

Campbell was capped four times by England U21, scoring once, and received a call-up to the England B team in 1991, for whom he earned one cap.

Arsenal
Campbell began his career as a trainee with Arsenal, joining the club on schoolboy forms in 1985. He was prolific for Arsenal's Academy, scoring 59 goals in one season. Campbell also won the FA Youth Cup of 1988 with Arsenal. He went on to make his first-team debut against Everton on 7 May 1988, although the club's forward positions at the time were usually taken by Paul Merson and Alan Smith.

Campbell came to prominence during a loan spell at Leyton Orient in 1989 when he scored nine goals in 16 games. Campbell helped see the club to promotion during that season but did not play in their victorious playoff final against Wrexham as his loan spell had just ended. Orient manager Frank Clark wanted to make the move permanent but Arsenal refused to sell. At the start of the 1989–90 season, he was again loaned out, this time to Leicester City. The following season, he established himself in the Arsenal team, scoring eight times in ten matches during the run-in to the club's First Division title win.

Despite Arsenal signing Ian Wright in September 1991, Campbell continued to feature in the team. He scored for Arsenal against Millwall and Derby County in Arsenal's victorious 1992–93 campaigns in the FA Cup and League Cup. In the 1993–94 season, he scored 19 goals, his best for the Gunners. He also featured in the victorious 1993–94 European Cup Winners' Cup campaign, scoring four goals, including one in the semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain. His form for the club waned in 1994–95, and the arrivals of forwards John Hartson and Chris Kiwomya saw his playing time reduced. Campbell played 224 times for Arsenal, scoring 60 goals.

Nottingham Forest
In the summer of 1995, Campbell was sold to Nottingham Forest, for an initial fee of £2.5million, where he spent three seasons. He was part of the team that was relegated in 1997, but his 23 goals the following season helped see the Reds win the Division One title in 1998.

Trabzonspor
Campbell controversially left Forest at the end of the 1997–98 season, against the will of their manager, Dave Bassett, to join Turkish side Trabzonspor for £2.5million, a move which caused Forest teammate Pierre van Hooijdonk to go "on strike". His time in Trabzon saw him leave the club after seven months after a racist incident which involved club president Mehmet Ali Yılmaz calling him a "cannibal". Campbell and his teammates also had not been paid, something which he demanded they rectify. To show solidarity with Campbell, the two club captains, Ogün Temizkanoğlu and Abdullah Ercan, were at his side during a press conference in which he stated his reasons for leaving the club.

Everton
Everton, who were battling against relegation from the Premier League, signed Campbell on loan in March 1999. His impact on the side was immediate as he scored nine goals in his first eight games. These feats made him Everton's top goalscorer both at home and away from Goodison Park for that season. His six goals, which were scored in his first three games, earned him Everton's player of the month award for April, making him the first loanee to be bestowed with the title.

Campbell's move to Everton was made permanent in the summer of 1999 for a fee of £3million. In the 1999–2000 season, he scored Everton's winning goal in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Anfield, which was Everton's last win at Anfield before 2021, when Everton defeated Liverpool 2–0. He ended the season as the club's top scorer, with 12 goals scored altogether.

Campbell was Everton's leading goalscorer in 2000–01, but scored just four times during the 2001–02 campaign and returned to the top in 2002–03. After that, injuries limited his appearances for the club and he left in 2005.

Campbell is Everton's fifth-highest Premier League goalscorer, behind Romelu Lukaku, Duncan Ferguson, Tim Cahill and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He was also Everton's first black captain.

West Bromwich Albion
Campbell moved to West Bromwich Albion in January 2005 on a free transfer and helped the club retain its Premiership status. This endeavour marked the first time that a club that had been at the bottom of the top division on Christmas Day had gone on to avoid relegation.

Cardiff City
In May 2006, after West Brom were relegated to the Championship, Campbell was released by the club. He signed for Cardiff City on a free transfer on 2 August 2006. He scored in an FAW Premier Cup quarter-final match away at Carmarthen Town for Cardiff, on 13 February 2007. He was then released by the club in May 2007, thus bringing to an end his career.

International career
Campbell earned four caps for the England U-21s and one for England B. He holds the record of being the English player who has scored the most goals in the Premier League without earning a senior cap for his country. In September 1992 he was on stand-by for a friendly against Spain, but this was the nearest he got to being in the senior squad.

Media career
Campbell was featured on the Sky Sports series Where are They Now? in 2008, when he was the co-owner of security company T1 Protection, specialising in supplying bodyguards to celebrities and other wealthy customers whilst travelling abroad. He also worked with Asia-based Sony TEN as a commentator for their Premier League and Champions League coverage.

Campbell ran a record label, 2 Wikid, first signing rapper Mark Morrison, who had previously topped the charts with "Return of the Mack" in 1996. In December 2004, he obtained a court injunction against rival label Jet Star to prevent it from releasing Morrison's album, Innocent Man. The injunction was lifted shortly afterward. The first single released by 2 Wikid was that of Panjabi MC's tune "Backstabbers", a remix of Morrison's original song, which had been released in 2004.

Personal life and death
Campbell's son Tyrese is also a footballer who most recently played for Stoke City.

Campbell became ill in early 2024 and was admitted to hospital a number of times. He was admitted to Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI) in May and died there on 15 June. An interim coroner's report attributed Campbell's death to infective endocarditis leading to multiple organ failure. The hospital is conducting an internal investigation over concerns about Campbell's treatment at MRI.

On Campbell's death, Everton called him "not just a true Goodison Park hero and icon of the English game, but an incredible person as well".
