Blue bag

A blue bag is a blue coloured, sometimes semi-transparent bag for waste, mandated for use in some localities for refuse or for certain specific types of refuse.

Description
A blue bag is a blue coloured, sometimes semi-transparent bag for waste. In some localities, they are mandated for use for refuse or for certain specific types of refuse. In the latter usage, the distinguishing color serves to assist in recycling programs; blue typically indicates that the bag contains glass, plastic or polyethylene content.

Taiwan
In Taipei, residents must use an official blue garbage bag to dispose of general waste, with the bags being collected from designated pickup spots.

United States
The City of Chicago implemented a blue bag system in 1995. It operates by requiring willing participants to purchase blue garbage bags (available at major grocery stores throughout the city) and depositing recyclable material in the bags. The waste may be paper-based (cardboard boxes, gift boxes, newspaper, etc.), plastic and glass, or yard/lawn refuse. A separate blue bag must be used for each of the three types of recyclable material.
 * Chicago

The Chicago system has been criticized for its tediousness and inconvenience, as blue bags cost more to the homeowner than grocery bags and this system of recycling, compared to ones implemented in other cities and suburbs, requires additional effort. Chicago Sanitation management has claimed Chicago's Blue Bag system diverts approximately 25% of its waste to recycling facilities, which was its initial goal. However, most independent studies place the estimates at approximately 9% of the garbage picked up, resulting in continued criticism towards the program.

On May 2, 2008, the Chicago SunTimes reported that Chicago is giving up on the program, planning to shift to curbside recycling in blue carts by 2011.

Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania has used blue bags for garbage collection. A supplier of the city's bags expressed that the consumer cost to purchase bags incentivizes reduction in landfill waste. A change to stickers had been considered when budgeting for 2018, but the bags were retained and granted a higher purchase price. When supplies of the bags were limited in 2022, the city temporarily sold stickers to affix to normal garbage bags.
 * Other cities

United Kingdom

Blue bags are used to distinguish different types of recyclable materials at the point of collection. The content allowed differs from area to area, depending on decisions of the local council.

Canoscio

Canoscio is an Italian village and frazione (hamlet) of Città di Castello, Umbria.

Overview
It is home to the Shrine of the Madonna of Canoscio (Italian: Santuario della Madonna di Canoscio), atop a hill overlooking the upper valley of the Tiber at 449 m. The church has its origins in a votive chapel dedicated to the Madonna of the Assumption that was built by a certain Giovanni di Jacopo in 1348, for having been spared during the Black Death. The chapel was enlarged in 1406. The present church in traditional Tuscan style celebrating the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was built in 1855‑1878 by architect Emilio de Fabris, better known for the sensitive Gothic façade he provided for the Duomo of Florence. The shrine of Madonna di Canoscio remains a center of Marian devotion today. In 1998, Pope John Paul II raised the sanctuary church to the honor of a Minor Basilica.

Another sight on the hill of Canoscio is a large 12th‑century Romanesque church, the Pieve of SS. Cosma e Damiano, with medieval votive frescoes.

The Canoscio hoard
Canoscio was the site where a 6th‑century paleo-Christian dinner service of 25 silver pieces came to light under the plough in 1935: the pieces in the Canoscio hoard, now displayed in the Museo del Duomo, Città di Castello, as Early Christian liturgical silver, may not all have been expressly designed for liturgical use. The pieces, found carefully stowed under a large plate for protection as they were being buried in a shallow pit, consist of six plates, two patens, three unmarked hemispherical chalices, a pyx with its cover, also unmarked, two strainers, a small ladle and nine spoons of purely domestic character. Not all the objects are in forms that can be related to the liturgy. Names of Aelianus and Felicitas, probably donors, are inscribed on one of the patens. The large plate that protected the hoard, was shattered by the plough: reassembled, it reveals the inscription in its center DE DONIS DEI ET SANCTI MARTYRIS AGAPITI UTERE FELIX.

The largest of the unbroken plates was surely designed for a liturgical use from the beginning: in the center there is a raised surface familiar from pagan paterae, which kept the thumb free of the libation when making an offering. The central section is chased with a Byzantine Cross with alpha and omega: below flow four rivers. At the side of the cross are depicted the hand of God and the dove of the Holy Spirit; at the bottom there are two lambs facing each other.

The larger of the two strainers is engraved with the labarum and alpha and omega, their outlines traced with tiny straining holes.

Summerside Airport

Summerside Airport is located 3.5 NM north-northwest of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada.

History
The airport was formerly a military airfield, established in 1940 as RCAF Station Summerside, changing its name to CFB Summerside in 1968. The base was active in training aircrews in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during World War II and hosting search and rescue (SAR) and coastal surveillance units during the Cold War. CFB Summerside was closed in 1990 and transferred to a local development authority named Slemon Park Corporation. The base property is now referred to as Slemon Park and the airfield has been named Summerside Airport. The airport is home to several aircraft maintenance companies, as well as a small general aviation community.

Summerside Airport's airfield and terminal facilities are located in the township of Lot 17 and not in the city of Summerside proper; the municipal boundary is adjacent to the airport property with the city including the residential area of Slemon Park but not the airfield and industrial properties.

Past scheduled passenger airline service
The airport was served by Eastern Provincial Airways during the 1960s and early 1970s which operated nonstop flights to Moncton and the Magdalen Islands as well as direct service via a stop at the Charlottetown Airport to Halifax, Sydney, Deer Lake, Gander and St. John's with Douglas DC-3 prop aircraft and Handley Page Dart Herald turboprop aircraft.

In 1995, Atlantic Island Airways was operating Fokker F28 Fellowship jet service with nonstop flights from Ottawa as well as direct one stop service from Toronto.

Beyond Tomorrow
Someone is on a misguided quest to write a substub on every song Perry Como ever recorded. This is one of the worst, as it has no information not in Como's article (the only legit link to it). While I have my own personal criteria for songs, I don't necessarily expect everyone to follow it. I do, however, strongly believe that if wikipedia is going to have an article on the each of the several million songs ever written, they should have substance, not a short list of two or three facts. Maybe all the song substubs that give only performer and author (and there are many) could be merged into a table that lists such information. -R. fiend 16:56, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jork

Jork is a small town on the left bank of the Elbe, near Hamburg (Germany).

Jork belongs to the district of Stade, in Lower Saxony. The town is the capital of the Altes Land, one of the biggest fruit growing areas in Europe, and Jork is home to a Fruit Research Center.

History
Jork was mentioned for the first time in a deed in 1221, then it belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen in secular respect. As to religion Jork belonged to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Verden (till 1648). In 1648 the Prince-Archbishopric was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish and from 1715 on by the British and Hanoverian Crown. In 1807 the ephemeric Kingdom of Westphalia annexed the Duchy, before France annexed it in 1810. In 1813 the Duchy was restored to the Electorate of Hanover, which – after its upgrade to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 – incorporated the Duchy in a real union and the ducal territory, including Jork, became part of the Stade Region, established in 1823. From 1885 to 1932 Jork served as the capital of the Prussian District of Jork, comprising Altes Land, the city of Buxtehude and its today component Neuland, then still an independent municipality. The former district forms since a part of today's District of Stade.

Division of the town
Jork consists of seven districts:
 * Borstel
 * Estebrügge
 * Hove
 * Jork
 * Königreich
 * Ladekop
 * Moorende

Plains Indians → Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains – There is a large plain in India: Indo-Gangetic Plain, and many people live there, they can be called Plains Indians. Editor abcdef (talk) 11:06, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Plains Indians is the traditional, common, and resonant name for this group of people. A redirect from Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains works very well for those who demand consistency. Most Indians I know prefer to be called "Indians" not "Indigenous people" or "Native Americans." Smallchief (talk 12:39, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Strongly oppose ENGVAR and COMMONNAME both apply; Indian-from-India English contexts/meanings are not relevant to such a well-known topic/name in North America.  This same argument crops up from time to time, as recently with someone creating "Asian Indians in Vancouver", which given Vancouver's aboriginal population has obvious complications of context.  There was already a name discussion about this long ago; look in the archives, it was extended debate to establish this title.  Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains is not CONCISE, and has the further complication that the Great Plains are known in Canada as the Prairies, though the term "Plains Indians" is still in general use for those tribes of people from this culture on the Canadian side of the border.Skookum1 (talk) 13:28, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Cleanup - various
why did you remove the thing about patrilineal tribes and marrying out? It's not like it's the only thing in here that's hard to source to WP standards. - Co rb ie V  ☊☼ 22:00, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

 * It's an egregious overgeneralization, particularly in modern times - many halfblood children of native mothers are accepted as tribal members, certainly today and in the past as well. There was far too much cultural variation between tribes to keep that one.  I felt that it was best not to tag-bomb the entire article, nor was it appropriate to blank everything that's uncited, but I made a bold call to remove the most ridiculous, stereotyped or overgeneralized comments.  Anything sourced properly can certainly be reinserted, but I'd want to be sure people say things like, "tradition X was practiced by the foo people, but not the foo2 people".  Just comparing tribes like the Kiowa, the Pawnee and the Sioux/Lakota, show dramatic differences in many family cultural mores.   Montanabw (talk)  16:23, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

 * BQ-based enrollment is a separate issue from the traditional view. The former is more about the modern legal system, the latter has more to do with social and ceremonial issues in community. Maybe it's too complicated and unsourceable for WP. I can source it from two of the tribes, but maybe this just isn't the place. Especially when it's all we can do to explain that people aren't living year round in lodges and riding horses to work. - Co rb ie V  ☊☼ 18:33, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Yeah, you are right that it's pretty complicated. I would agree that two tribes does not a culture group make.  I know that the Blackfeet seemed to be pretty willing to do the opposite - accept white men as family members, even if not necessarily tribal ones.  Johnny Grant was a case in point.

Page move
I was discussing with editors on another talkpage about this article's title. And we were thinking of possibly moving it to "Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies" and keeping Plains Indians as alternate title in the lead. Many pages about Indigenous peoples of the Americas have been updated to Indigenous people or Native American. In this case, they weren't American citizens so Indigenous peoples is better title. Thoughts? I didn't want to be too bold and move it without discussion. oncamera  (talk page)  01:24, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

I totally agree, even if it's been half a year since you asked, but bearing in mind it took the Europeans ten years to figure out that they hadn't discovered India and that only in recent years questioning names has become a phenomenon - YES, please make the change. FlammingoHey 20:24, 12 June 2022 (UTC);

 * A name change of this nature has been discussed twice and rejected. The consensus is that "Plains Indians" is the correct name for this article. Smallchief (talk) 20:53, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Both changes mentioned were discussed seven years ago with very few votes. I wouldn't say that's a reason to not discuss a change today. oncamera   (talk page)  06:46, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Robinsonade

Robinsonade is a literary genre of fiction wherein the protagonist is suddenly separated from civilization, usually by being shipwrecked or marooned on a secluded and uninhabited island, and must improvise the means of their survival from the limited resources at hand. The genre takes its name from the 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. The success of this novel spawned so many imitations that its name was used to define a genre, which is sometimes described simply as a "desert island story" or a "castaway narrative".

The word "robinsonade" was coined by the German writer Johann Gottfried Schnabel in the Preface of his 1731 work  (The Island Stronghold). It is often viewed as a subgenre of survivalist fiction.

Common themes
Common themes of Robinsonade works include the protagonists being in a state of isolation (e.g. on a desert island or an uninhabited planet), a new beginning for the work's characters, self-reflection as a plot point, contact with indigenous peoples or extraterrestrial life and social commentary.

Utopianism
Unlike Thomas More's Utopia and romantic works which depicted nature as idyllic, Crusoe made it unforgiving and sparse. The protagonist survives by his wits and the qualities of his cultural upbringing, which also enable him to prevail in conflicts with fellow castaways or over local peoples he may encounter. However, he manages to wrest survival and even a certain amount of civilisation from the wilderness. Works that followed went both in the more utopian direction (The Swiss Family Robinson) and the dystopian direction (Lord of the Flies).

Inverted Crusoeism
The term inverted Crusoeism was coined by English writer J. G. Ballard. The paradigm of Robinson Crusoe has been a recurring topic in Ballard’s work. Whereas the original Robinson Crusoe became a castaway against his own will, Ballard's protagonists often choose to maroon themselves; hence inverted Crusoeism (e.g., Concrete Island). The concept provides a reason as to why people would deliberately maroon themselves on a remote island; in Ballard’s work, becoming a castaway is as much a healing and empowering process as an entrapping one, enabling people to discover a more meaningful and vital existence.

Predating Robinson Crusoe
Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's 1668 picaresque novel Simplicius Simplicissimus features a shipwrecked protagonist who lives alone on an island.

19th century
One of the best known robinsonades is The Swiss Family Robinson (1812–27) by Johann David Wyss, in which a shipwrecked clergyman, his wife, and his four sons manage not only to survive on their island but also to discover the good life. Jules Verne strands his castaways in Mysterious Island (1874) with only one match, one grain of wheat, a metal dog collar, and two watches.

Robinsonade proper
The robinsonade proper also contains the following themes:
 * Progress through technology
 * A storyline following the triumphs and the rebuilding of civilisation
 * Economic achievement
 * Unfriendliness of nature

Science fiction robinsonade
Genre SF robinsonades naturally tend to be set on uninhabited planets or satellites rather than islands. The Moon is the location of Ralph Morris's proto-SF The Life and Wonderful Adventures of John Daniel (1751), and of John W Campbell Jr's paean to human inventiveness, The Moon is Hell (1950). A classic example of an SF robinsonade which has all the elements of the robinsonade proper is Tom Godwin's The Survivors, as well as J. G. Ballard's Concrete Island. A more recent example is Andy Weir's 2011 The Martian. Joanna Russ' We Who Are About To... (1977) is a radical feminist objection to the entire genre.

Sears List of Subject Headings recommends that librarians also catalog apocalyptic fiction —such as Cormac McCarthy's popular novel The Road, or even Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers—as robinsonades.

Film
Mr. Robinson Crusoe is the 1932 updating of the story where Douglas Fairbanks Sr. maroons himself on an uninhabited island for a year to win a bet.

Robinson Crusoe (1954 film) is the 1954 adventure film directed by Luis Buñuel, with Dan O'Herlihy in the title role.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars is the 1964 story of the survivor of a space ship crash on the planet Mars.

Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N. is the 1966 comedic retelling, featuring a US Navy pilot and a chimpanzee astronaut named Floyd.

Robinson Crusoe (1972) is the 1972 Soviet film (Odessa film Studio) with Leonid Kuravlyov in the title role, and music by Antonio Vivaldi.

Enemy Mine is the SF story of a human and enemy alien who crash-land on a barren planetoid and eventually cooperate to survive.

Cast Away is the 2000 film about a FedEx employee (Tom Hanks) who is the sole survivor of a plane crash and is stranded on a deserted island for four years.

The Martian is the 2015 film about a human astronaut stranded on Mars after a storm forces the rest of the crew to depart and the effort to recover him.

Comics
In 1940, Mort Weisinger created Green Arrow, a millionaire castaway turned to vigilante.

Years later, Gold Key Comics, produced a comic series, titled Space Family Robinson, in the early 1960s and later producer Irwin Allen created his own version of a similar concept, about another Space Family Robinson, known as Lost in Space, for CBS.

The first appearance of a space-faring Robinson family (unrelated to the series' Robinsons) in comic books was Gold Key Comics's The Space Family Robinson, December 1962. Space Family Robinson was published as a total of 59 issues, from 1962 to 1982. The first issue was published in December 1962. With issue #15 (January, 1966), the "Lost in Space" title was added to the cover.

The book Silver Age: The Second Generation of Comic Artists by Daniel Herman explains that when the Lost in Space TV series came out in 1965, it was obvious that it was inspired, at least in part, by the comic book, but CBS, the network airing the show, had never acquired the license from Western Publishing. Rather than sue CBS or Irwin Allen, Western decided to reach a settlement which allowed them to use "Lost in Space" for the title of the comic book. Since CBS and Irwin Allen licensed shows to Western, Western didn't want to antagonize them. Also, the TV show title probably helped sales of the comic book.

Television
The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (TV series) is a 1964 French-German TV series with Robert Hoffmann in the title role. It was aired in 1965 in the UK with a soundtrack by Robert Mellin.

The 1965 Lost in Space TV series is an adaptation of the novel The Swiss Family Robinson. The astronaut family of Dr. John Robinson, accompanied by an Air Force pilot and a robot, set out from an overpopulated Earth in the spaceship Jupiter 2 to visit a planet circling the star Alpha Centauri with hopes of colonizing it. Their mission in 1997 (the official launch date of the Jupiter 2 was October 16, 1997) is immediately sabotaged by Dr. Zachary Smith, who slips aboard their spaceship and reprograms the robot to destroy the ship and crew.

Smith is trapped aboard, and saves himself by prematurely reviving the crew from suspended animation. They save the ship, but consequent damage leaves them lost in space. Eventually they crash on an alien world, later identified as Priplanis, where they must survive a host of adventures. Smith (whom the show's writer originally intended to kill off) remains through the series as a source of comedic cowardice and villainy, exploiting the forgiving (or forgetful) nature of the Robinsons.

The 1966 Gilligan's Island TV series was about seven castaways stranded on a tropical island. Even the show's theme song contains the lyrics, "Like Robinson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be."

Video games
Several videogames have explored this theme, placing players in hostile environments where they must work towards a specific goal or merely survive. As such, robinsonade video games can be included in the broader survival game genre. A few examples of this genre are the games in the Stranded series, Stranded Deep, The Forest and Minecraft.

Missing (TV program)

Missing is a weekly syndicated television program in the United States profiling real cases of missing people. The series is produced by Storrs Media/Telco Productions, Inc. and the show's host is the producer's president and founder, Alex Paen. The series debuted on September 4, 2003, and is still in production. An episode is 30 minutes and has household areas where local broadcasters can showcase missing people. The show is considered to be Educational/Informational under the Children's Television Act of 1990 since 2011.

According to the official website, as of July 23, 2023, 941 people featured on Missing have been safely recovered.

Format
The show displays around 20 pictures of missing children and adults per episode. It begins with the account and description of the person, taking specific notice of body modifications, visible injuries and scars. Episodes (especially older ones) include video clips made by KidSmartz to teach children watching what to do in dangerous situations.

The show also includes Internet Safety Tips (a person, usually an adult or teenager, suggests some tips on how to stay safe online) and a Safety Quiz. (The video is produced by KidSmartz, showing a child doing the worst thing in the situation and then being quizzed on what the child should have done in the situation).

Nearing the end of the show, a "roundup" is presented showing the person (or people) pictured with their first and last name. Some roundups contain four individuals at a time (usually when they are all missing and have the same surname). An individual is shown for two seconds; more time is allowed depending on how many individuals are in the same slide.

Music from the series is composed by Larry Brown; the male whispers are added during the editing process.

Broadcasting
Episodes are distributed operating a satellite system and are aired on Wednesdays at 6:00 AM–6:30 AM Eastern Time. The episodes are closed captioned and broadcast weekly, though some air it a twice a week. The program is commonly aired on weekends (7:00 AM–11:00 AM) and is a standard variety for E/I programming among U.S. broadcasters; it is aired on national television channels like Catchy Comedy.

Welcome!
Hi Ozdusters, welcome to Wikipedia! My suggestion would be to start by working on improving an existing article; that's what I did first when I started here. There's a lot here already; try finding an article about something you know about, and making changes there. Make sure your changes fit in with what's already there; check your spelling, grammar, and text formatting. You might find How_to_edit_a_page helpful too as a place to start learning about Wikipedia. Ask on my talk page if you have questions. CDC  (talk)  17:47, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Please stop posting new pages of no significance - you're just creating more work as folks follow behind and delete your entries. M0nster0 18:31, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * If you want to make lists on films by topic, please take the time to correctly name them "List if X related movies" and add some more content than just 1, 2 or 3 movies. - Mgm|(talk) 18:47, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Expansion please?
Hi there! I've noticed you've started articles on a number of interesting topics that I don't really know much about (e.g. Beach to Beacon and Who gets the Dog?. However, I'm afraid that after reading those articles I still don't know much about the subject. Since I believe that you do, would you please consider expanding them a bit and telling us more about them? It would be very informative. Thanks! Radiant_ >|< 08:00, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Nina (opera)

Nina, o sia La pazza per amore (Nina, or Madly in Love) is an opera, described in 1790 as a commedia in prosa ed in verso per musica, in two acts by Giovanni Paisiello to an Italian libretto by Giovanni Battista Lorenzi after Giuseppe Carpani's translation of Benoît-Joseph Marsollier's Nina, ou La folle par amour, set by Nicolas Dalayrac in 1786. The work is a sentimental comedy with set numbers, recitative and spoken dialog. It is set in Italy in the 18th century. Nina was first performed in a one-act version at the Teatro del Reale Sito di Belvedere in Caserta, San Leucio on 25 June 1789. The revised and familiar two-act work was presented at the Teatro dei Fiorentini in Naples in the autumn of 1790.

Roles

 * Nina (soprano)
 * Lindoro, her lover/Un Pastore (tenor)
 * The Count, her father (bass)
 * Susanna, her companion (mezzo-soprano)
 * Giorgio, the Count's valet (bass)
 * A musician (tenor)
 * Second musician
 * Chorus (staff and patients at the sanatorium)

Synopsis
Act I

As the opera opens, Nina, the Count’s daughter, has gone mad due to a broken heart. We learn that she was to marry Lindoro, with her father’s approval, but on their wedding day a richer and more powerful suitor turned up, and the Count broke his word. Lindoro challenged his rival to a duel, and was killed. Now she wanders around the village doing good deeds for the people, who all adore her. The Count is tortured by remorse.

Nina goes to the crossroads at the same hour every day to wait for her lover. The villagers come to comfort her, and sing her favourite song. Nina sings in anticipation of meeting Lindoro, but when he fails to appear, Nina leaves flowers at the waiting place and returns to the village.

Act II

The Count's valet appears with good news: it turns out Lindoro is still alive. Giorgio tells his master that Lindoro is at the castle gates hoping to see his darling. The Count greets Lindoro with tears of joy. Lindoro tells him that he was seriously wounded and nursed back to health by a friend. He has stayed away until now, believing Nina married his rival. He is aghast to hear that his beloved has lost her mind.

The lovers are reunited, and Nina is restored to sanity.

Discography

 * Arts Music, Hans Ludwig Hirsch, 1998
 * Nuova Era, Richard Bonynge, 2003
 * , Ádám Fischer, 2002 (Zürich Opera)
 * Archipel, Ennio Gerelli, 2007

In Popular Culture
The opera's aria, Il mio ben quando verrà (When my beloved comes), is prominently featured in Episode 5, Season 4 of the science fiction series Stranger Things, an episode entitled "The Nina Project." However, the dialogue of the episode explicitly references Nicolas Dalayrac's French language opera of the same name, year, and subject.

Talk:Neifi Pérez

Why the emphasis on batting average alone?
Average, by itself, is not a good indicator of offensive value. Saros136 (talk) 21:43, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Palin comment
I think the comment about Sarah Palin should be removed, as it is more about Palin than Perez. This article is supposed to be about baseball, not about politics. If Perez himself had expressed a political view, that would be one thing, but this is just some baseball writer giving his opinion on politics. That article "might" possibly be pertinent to the Palin page, but it is not to this one. I don't think it even gives broader significance at all because it really does not have much to do with Perez. Its broader significance is really something that is not even significant to Perez. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 13:25, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm OK with having it in there. The article is supposed to be about Perez, not just baseball or just politics. Also, the paragraph just isn't about Nate Silver's comments. It has another from a Chicago writer regarding his offensive futility. Some of the comments could be better sourced or toned-down, such as "He was widely criticized because of his low on-base percentage (career .297) and lack of power." — X96lee15 (talk) 14:06, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I should clarify I'm not concerned about the whole paragraph, just Silver's comment about Palin. The Chicago comment should stay. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 15:42, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Nate Silver's a prominent writer, and an expert about both politics and baseball who always chooses his words carefully. When discussing a player's legacy, for better or for ill, that's the sort of comment you're looking for. See also Mendoza Line for another example (more prominent) of a baseball concept crossing into other areas. Mackensen (talk) 18:32, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Since this article is about Perez, and not about Palin, why don't we reword the statement so that it just mentions Perez? We could easily say, "Nate Silver wrote that Perez's statistics indicated he had a negative impact on the teams he played for." Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 11:44, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Why dilute it? The direct quotation is more interesting and has a greater impact. Mackensen (talk) 12:29, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't find the direct quote more interesting, although it does have a greater impact--on Palin, not on Pérez. As nobody has solidly disagreed about paraphrasing it, and as the nominator of this article, I am going to paraphrase it. Thanks to all who commented, though, I am paraphrasing it instead of removing it entirely, my original intent. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 11:52, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough; the paraphrase works for me. Thanks, Mackensen (talk) 16:09, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Amphetamine use
Neifi Pérez's amphetamine use is well-documented. When I wrote the article in 2008 I worked from newspapers that I had access to through Lexis-Nexis Academic such as the Detroit Free Press, which is cited in the text. I don't know what terms is using when searching, but stories such as this one from ESPN or this one from the New York Times came up right away. It was a pretty big deal at the time.

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 29 March 2021 and 4 June 2021. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Momenahh.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 18:16, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Message log
For example, instant messaging is highly synchronous, but rarely persistent since one loses all the content when one closes the dialog box unless one has a message log set up or has manually copy-pasted the conversation.

Most chat and IM applications keep logs by default these days. --SymlynX 13:48, 27 November 2006 (UT)

Should Online discourse environment be merged into this article?
The article Online discourse environment seems to be just a definition/enumeration of places where CMC occurs on the Internet. This material could usefully be merged into the parallel section Computer-mediated_communication. I have also re-directed "online discourse" to this article. betsythedevine (talk) 20:45, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Support - Yes, it should be absorbed into this more common term's text. -- SEWilco (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Annexing environments where CMC occurs into the CMC entry looks to me like it could confuse those looking to get a handle on media configurations rather than a handle on discourse itself. Why make the entry longer and more complex when you can take this aspect of CMC study and put it in a place on its own? I would say not to annex it. I came to this page looking for what might be here about the configuration of media I am working in, video annotated CMC. I would rather see links from the CMC page to others where individual media factors are discussed on their own with a description of communication in that media. Just my two cents. Craig —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cd howard (talk • contribs) 20:52, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Somebody's re-write re-posted, and why it shouldn't be
Under "Scope of the field," the article originally and accurately said:

 * Scholars from a variety of fields study phenomena that can be described under the umbrella term of CMC (see also Internet studies). For example, many take a sociopsychological approach to CMC by examining how humans use "computers" (or digital media) to manage interpersonal interaction, form impressions and form and maintain relationships (followed by 2 references on which these statements are based)

Somebody replaced these two sentences, which make a clear statement about different approaches that can be used to study CMC, with a run-on sentence asserting something different -- that people from other disciplines should be considered "part of" CMC when they study it.

 * CMC is an interdisciplinary area of investigation as a specialism (see also Internet studies) and even scholars from other well defined disciplines, such as sociopsychological, could be considered part of the field when for example they examine how humans use "computers" (or digital media) to manage interpersonal interaction, form impressions and form and maintain relationships.

Furthermore, the definition of CMC as "an interdisciplinary area of investigation as a specialism" is jargon, as is a later addition by the same hand, "CMC encompasses many genres."

This major edit also removes an informative sentence referenced to a book published by Oxford University Press. My point is that these major changes and others by the same user, now re-added by an anon, did not add to the article "flow" or comprehensibility. I removed them, somebody wants to re-add them. I suggest discussion on the talk page before trying to enforce large changes on the article. betsythedevine (talk) 11:15, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

I propose to..
Add a section which covers the different mediums through which we communicate and how accurately each one is interpreted and responded to by the receiver. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goexploreyourworld (talk • contribs) 21:40, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Definition
It seems to me that the current definition covers, e.g., cell phone talks, and thus is too broad, or, at least, doesn't correspond to the actual topic of the article.

Another issue with the definition is that it is essential how the electronic devices are used. Andres (talk) 08:50, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Should we have a redirect from "Computer Mediated Discourse" to this article?
I just came across the term "Computer Mediated Discourse" and looked it up on Wikipedia. It doesn't have an article of its own but the term is used on this page a couple of times without being defined and without an explicit redirect or statement that it's synonymous.

Oops! I just found in the article a longer variant, "Computer Mediated Discourse Analysis", which is stated to be another name for the same thing.

It seems to me that we should have redirects from both "Computer Mediated Discourse" and "Computer Mediated Discourse Analysis". I'm going to be bold and add them both. Feel free to revert and discuss if this proves to be overly bold. — Hippietrail (talk) 05:38, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
 * In fact I added four variants. With and without hyphenation. — Hippietrail (talk) 05:44, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Unreferenced/Duplicated content
I've removed the following content which seemed incomplete, was unreferenced, and duplicated in part the information in the proceeding section. Any objections or references, let me know.

csc= computer science

cmc can be divided into synchronous and asynchronous modes. In synchronous communications all participants are online at the same time (e.g. IRC), while asynchronous communications occurs with time constraints. (e.g. email). People choose asynchronous communication like email for delayed, controlled and longer messages. They also prefer email for negative emotion as they are distant from the receiver ("shielding" effect). On the other hand, people prefer synchronous communication like IM for immediate good news. They also use it because they can multitask while talking. Computermacgyver (talk) 18:25, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Redirect of "online discussion" to here
I redirected the stub Online discussion to this page. No one had touched the other one for years and it was sorely out of date. I figured this article covered anything that would have been included there. --TheLeaper (talk) 18:49, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Largest open-pit mine
I've seen and heard various conflicting reports that say that Chuquicamata in Chile or that the Kennecott Copper Mine in Utah are the largest open-put mines in the world. Here in Utah, we say that Kennecott is the largest open-pit mine in the world, but it seems that Chuquicamata also makes this claim. Can anybody confirm one way or the other which is true? bob rulz 10:47, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

 * Nevermind, I've done some additional research and it seems that Kennecott Mine in Utah is indeed the largest open-put mine in the world. bob rulz 10:49, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

 * Why not share your sources of some additional research with us. Vsmith 17:05, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, I will.       and  (in the Did you Know? section) all say that the Bingham Canyon mine (Kennecott Copper Mine) is the largest open-pit mine in the world. Of what I found, only, , and the numerous Wikipedia mirrors said that the one in Chile was the largest. This thread on the discussion of the largest open-pit mine in the world gives conflicting views. bob rulz 07:21, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * Kennecott Copper Mine is deeper, Chuquicamata enfolds a larger area

Surely largest should be measured as the highest volume extracted as compared to the origional ground surface? Other measurements like deepest and longest should not be counted as largest. Htaccess 05:29, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't agree. I would have assumed in reading it that 'largest' meant largest surface area. There is some ambiguity in how you define this of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.232.250.50 (talk) 17:55, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Funny, as I got back from a trip to Hibbing, Minnesota where they said the Hull-Rust Mine is the largest open pit in the World Vohod 21:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I am from Hibbing and people up there do say that Hull-Rust-Mahoning Mine is the largest open pit mine in the world. After looking around a bit I see some publications say it is the largest open pit "Iron" mine in the world. Who knows for certain. Digdugsmug 01:56, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

It all depends on the definition of "largest open pit mine". We can classify open pits by the surface area affected, the total volume extracted, the total tonnage extracted, the total volume of the open pit, the total amount of ore extracted, the depth of the pit and so on. It is important to state which metric applies to the mine you are referencing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Falcorn (talk • contribs) 20:25, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Size of Australian gold mines
How do pits like Telfer and the Super Pit gold mine in Western Australia compare in size to those listed? Htaccess 05:29, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The Super Pit, when completely worked out, will be "3.8 kilometres long, 1.35km wide and go down to a depth of more than 500m" . Does this help? Sliggy 00:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

The Superpit is a baby compared to the ones in Chile and to Bingham Canyon. However, people are forgetting that a lot of coal mines are worked by strip mining, which would if you ignore the fact they are backfilled, qualify them as the largest in the world. Odds are, it's one in Russia. Rolinator 15:19, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation (merge?)
I put the following disambiguation line at the top of the article:

 * This is an article about a specific type of surface mining. For a more general treatment, see that article.

However, it seems to me that a better solution might be to just merge the two articles. However, the surface mining article does state that open-pit mining is a kind of surface mining. --Smithfarm 09:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I think that the articles should be merged. Upon reading the other article, I noticed that some of the criticisms I’ve had about this article (such as my suggestion to add more about the environmental impacts) can also be applied to the surface-mining article as well. If the articles were merged, the environmental impact section could encompass many types of mining, since the impacts may be very similar in all cases.Falcanta (talk) 04:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Open cast or open cut?
I've never heard of the term 'open cast'. I live in a region which contains a very large number of open cut coal mines, and I have worked in and around mines. I had never heard of open cast until I saw what I thought was a typo in the description of a photo in the Australia article.

Is open cast really a valid term, and if so, what is the etymology of 'cast'? This sounds remarkably as if someone has mis-heard 'open cut' and taken it from there. --Athol Mullen 23:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Opencast is the term used in British English. I believe it means the same thing as 'open cut' or 'open-pit'.62.31.12.18 01:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I think you are right. As a Brit the only term I had heard for this type of mine, before looking up this entry, was 'opencast'.  Usually written as one word, I think.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.232.250.50 (talk) 17:47, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Open Pit versus strip mine
The photo of the coal mine in Germany looks to me like a strip mine rather than an open pit mine. Perhaps it should be put instead in the Surface mining article under "area strip mining." Anyone know about this mine?Plazak 23:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

The photo of the German definitely looks like a strip mining operation. Definitely not an open pit mine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.215.43.106 (talk) 06:49, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

"These seats are usually on 30000 metre or 60 metre levels" Could it have meant 30 metres instead of 30000? It might be vandalism.
 * Image work done. Unfortunately, from the best I can tell it seems the German word "Tagebau" was mistranslated, as the term is used more accurately for surface mining than for just open-pit mining (I don't read german well, but there is a clear link to "Appalachian Mountaintop Removal" in it. It's quite possible the distinction between open-pit and strip mining does not exist in other languages, or as it may be the case, variants of English. And as a result, all instances of Tagebau in titles were at some point mistranslated as "open-pit", rather than "surface" (or in this case, "strip mine"). I do read Spanish, and the Spanish wikipedia does have words for each type BUT it seems all the links for surface mining lead to open pit, not surface!

It says on the page that the BigHole reached a depth of more than 1,000 meters. Is that correct? As far as I know the actual OPEN MINE at Kimberley reached a depth of less than 300 meters. The parts that did reach deeper were underground mining efforts and not open mining. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.75.103.73 (talk) 09:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Claims about mine sizes
There appears to be lots of claims about the size of mines, largest, second largest etc. Very few of these have any referencing to back up these claims. I would suggest that unless these claims are substantiated the statement is removed for the sake of NPOV. —Preceding Comment added by Nshimbi (talk • contribs) 09:55, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Publicly-traded mining companies
Hi. Does anyone know what are the top open pit mining companies that are publicly traded in the U.S., Canada or Europe? Preferribly industrial minerals, but I could use ANY open pit mining company, irrespective of the mineral (or metal). The important criteria is that a significant or major part of the company's business be from open pit mining. Any insight would be very helpful.--Mr. DASS (talk) 03:23, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Taseko Mines Canada is publicly traded and fits your description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Falcorn (talk • contribs) 20:30, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Description error
Sorry I´m not a regular contributor, but I noticed a factual error in the Extraction section.

"Ore which has been processed is known as tailings, and is generally a slurry." is incorrect.

Tailings are the waste material left over as described in the Wikipedia section for tailings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailings

Sorry I don´t have time to edit myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.222.24.170 (talk) 18:02, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Me 2.. I've FOUND another factual error.. in ? OPEN PIT MINES Re: This list includes only those large open-pit mines for which an article exists in Wikipedia. Huh ...? What ever happened to (true) fact.? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macraes_Mine .... Oh & I shoulda signed in as: QUIX4U (but couldn't be bothered signing in) Cheers 125.237.42.197 (talk) 01:34, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Addition
What about the Carajás Mine? It is the biggest mine in the world and the article says it's open pit, shouldnt it be added? 189.61.4.232 (talk) 14:21, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Someone should create a list
List of open-pit mines perhaps, or List of large open-pit mines. Relevant columns could include the mineral, location, year it opened, year closed (where applicable), peak extraction rate, volume etc. There's plenty of mines to list. Stevage 07:32, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Image for this article
Hello. My name is Robert and I'm here as an official representative of Peabody Energy. I have been hired by Peabody to upload images owned by the company to Wikimedia Commons, to serve as a resource, and to seek the addition of images to articles related to coal mining.

Earlier this year (and again more recently), I uploaded a number of images for which the copyright permission was granted by Peabody and recorded by OTRS. Now that those images are available for use, I'm looking to see where they might be helpful additions to illustrate articles on Wikipedia.

Since one of the images is a before and after of restored land at an open-pit mine, I thought that it might be a good addition for this page:
 * File:Coal_Mine_Land_Reclamation.png

I think this image would work well as a clear example to include in the "Rehabilitation" section of this article. It shows very clearly how land at an open pit mine changes from the active mining to restored state. For the caption, I would suggest "Before and after photographs of the Seneca Yoast Mine showing the mine in its operational state and afterwards the restored site."

Can anyone here add this image into the article for me? Thank you for reviewing this request. Robert PEnergy (talk) 21:17, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion and providing the image. However, I'm not sure it's the best choice. The image has unnecessary text (this kind of information is typically preferably given in the caption, as it is in your suggested caption), but more importantly, the text is confusing--the left says "Before mining," but is clearly during the mine's operation. It would make more sense if the sides were "before restoration" and "after restoration," respectively. Do you have access to the original, unedited image? If so, I recommend uploading that as an updated version of the image, and then it would be a fine addition to the article. Knight of Truth (talk) 21:40, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Knight of Truth, thank you for your reply and I understand your thoughts on the image. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the original image without the text over the top. Perhaps instead of this image, one of the following two images might suit better? Both show restored land at open-pit mines:

 * File:Land_Reclamation_Cabello_Coal_Mine.png
 * Suggested caption: "Coal silos and reclaimed land at the Caballo coal mine."
 * File:New_Antelope_Rochelle_Coal_Mine.png
 * Suggested caption: "Opencut coal mine loadout station and reclaimed land at the North Antelope Rochelle coal mine."

 * What do you think? Robert PEnergy (talk) 17:21, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The second image has been implemented (along with some other improvements). Thanks for making the edit request! Knight of Truth (talk) 04:54, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Environmental Impacts
I noticed that the article touches upon some kinds of contamination due to the use of open-pit mines including the pollution of groundwater and the acid-mine drainage. However, there is information lacking in this article about several other negative environmental impacts including: the mechanistic change in landscape, air pollution attributed to the release of dust, and the effect of these mines on the abundance and diversity of both fauna and flora. I can site this review article as proof that the environmental impacts are significant enough for discussion in this topic.

In order to more clearly and thoroughly represent this topic I suggest adding a section for the environmental impacts of open pit mines. Falcanta (talk) 04:22, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * I think it is important to discuss this issue in a new subtitle of pollutants. I think the environmental issues and the effect on the miners and surrounding areas should only be briefly touched on maintain neutrality of the article. Jennacarleton (talk) 16:45, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Broken Links
There is a broken link - it leads to a blog page that does not exist anymore (see Reference 8). I think the link was trying to prove that rehabilitated landfills could prove to be safe residential and commercial zones. However, the source was an “environmental and design altelier” and not a regulatory, environmental, or urban planning organization that could scientifically prove that these sites could be safe for human use. There is research to prove that scientifically designed sanitary landfills can be rehabilitated with some success through the use of phytoremediation, although I am having trouble finding cases where this has been implemented in open-pit mines. Maybe we can delete it and add verfiable source? Falcanta (talk) 04:25, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

I also found another broken link: reference 7. Falcanta (talk) 04:31, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Economic Value
Do you all think that an economic importance section should be added to this page? Open-pit mines may have many several negative environmental impacts but are they also important in supplying economies with precious metals and ores. Maybe adding the amounts of products produced and the economic worth of these mines would be important to explaining why they exist. Falcanta (talk) 04:28, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree that this is a section that should be added, however, I think it should simply be added to description as economic value can vary depending on the ore being mined, the area being mined, and the size of the mine. Jennacarleton (talk) 16:37, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

How they are made
In the description, I think it is important to explain how these types of mines are created to prove they are different from other forms of mines. Furthermore, I think it is beneficial to mention the reasoning the position of the mine. E.g., the grade and economic value of the discovered ore. Jennacarleton (talk) 16:36, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

William Peery

William Peery (1743 – December 17, 1800) was an American farmer, lawyer, and politician from Cool Spring near Milton, in Sussex County, Delaware. He was a veteran of the American Revolution, a Continental Congressman from Delaware, and a member of the Delaware General Assembly.

Peery lived with his father's family on a farm in Sussex County. Later, he farmed this land himself. In April 1777, during the American Revolution, he was selected to be captain of an independent militia company of 100 men from Sussex County, "for the safeguard of the pilots and the persons and goods of other well affected inhabitants...residing or being near Lewistown and the coasts of Delaware Bay". The area was known for the high level of Loyalist activity and the constant threat of British intervention from the sea. Future Governor David Hazzard was the son of one of his second lieutenants.

They saw some action during the winter of 1777–78 in support of the Flying Camp that helped protect Washington's camp at Valley Forge.

Peery was elected to the State House for the eight sessions from 1777 to 1778 through 1784–85. On November 4, 1785, the General Assembly elected him to be one of their delegates to the Continental Congress and he served for a year. He was then returned to the State House for the 1787–88 session and the 1793–94 and 1794–95 sessions. From 1785 to 1796 he served as the county Treasurer for Sussex County.

Peery died on December 17, 1800, in Lewes, Delaware, and is buried in the Cool Spring Prebsbyterian Church Cemetery near Lewes.

Ormindo

L'Ormindo is an opera in a prologue and three acts by Francesco Cavalli to an original Italian libretto by Giovanni Faustini. The manuscript score is held at the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, while a copy of the original libretto has been digitized by the Library of Congress. The opera has set numbers with recitative, and is set in Anfa (Casablanca), in the Mauri kingdom of Fessa (Fez).

Performance history
Ormindo was first performed in 1644 at the Teatro San Cassiano, Venice, the world's first public opera house. After its 1644 run, it was probably not revived until 1967 when it was performed at Glyndebourne Festival Opera. The version presented at Glyndebourne was arranged and conducted by Raymond Leppard. The work received its American premiere in 1968 in a performance at the Juilliard School supervised by Leppard. Subsequently it was performed by the Washington Opera Society, using Juilliard's sets and Costumes. Singers were as follows: Amida -John Reardon; Erice - Michael Best; Ormindo - Frank Poretta; Sicle -Evelyn Mandac; Erisbe- Benita Valente.

The United States premiere of the opera was given by the Juilliard Opera Theatre at Lincoln Center in New York City on April 25, 1968 with a cast that included Grayson Hirst in the title role, Robert Shiesley as Amida, Alan Ord as Hariadeno, Barbara Shuttleworth as Erisbe, Joanna Bruno as Nerillo, Wilma Shakesnider as Sicle, Michael Best as Erice, Anita Terzian Titus as Mirinda, and Alan Titus as Osmano.

Although taken up by the State Opera of South Australia and staged in 1980, the opera remains something of a rarity. A recent performance was by the Pittsburgh Opera in February, 2007, using a new performing edition by Peter Foster. It was conducted by Bernard McDonald and directed by Chas Rader-Shieber. Peter Foster's edition was also used by The Harvard Early Music Society in its November, 2008 performance of the work, conducted by Matthew Hall and directed by Roy Kimmey. The Baylor University School of Music performed the work in English on November 21–22, 2008 under the direction of Dr. Michael Johnson with conductor Dr. Andrew Hudson. It was performed by Pinchgut Opera of Sydney in December 2009. The Royal Opera staged a new production, in an English translation, directed by Kasper Holten at Shakespeare's Globe in March 2014 - the first opera production at the newly opened Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. This production was revived the following year (in February 2015) at the same venue. The Royal Irish Academy of Music based in Dublin presented the first Irish production of the opera in January 2015 directed by Ben Barnes and conducted by David Adams.

Synopsis

 * Setting: Anfa, a city of the Kingdom of Fessa in Mauretania.

The Maghreb princes, Amida and Ormindo, who are assisting in the defense of Mauretania, are both in love with Erisbe who is unhappily married to Hariadeno, Fessa's elderly king. The princes agree to remain friends while they test her love. During the course of the opera, there is much plotting by Amore, Princess Sicle (Amida's abandoned lover) and Erice (Sicle's nurse) to interfere with the contest. Erice stages a séance to communicate with the 'dead' Sicle who reproaches Amida for his inconstancy which had driven her to suicide. Amida, overcome with remorse, realizes that he still loves Princess Sicle and is overjoyed when it is revealed that she is actually alive and not a ghost. Meanwhile, Erisbe and Ormindo decide to elope to Tunis, where Ormindo must defend his homeland from attack. When King Hariadeno discovers their adultery, he orders his captain, Osmano, to have them poisoned. However, Osmano substitutes a sleeping potion for the poison at the urging of Mirinda (Erisbe's confidante) who has promised to marry him if he spares the lovers. All ends more or less happily when the King learns that Ormindo is actually his son from a youthful liaison. He forgives everyone and cedes his kingdom to Ormindo.

Britain
I think the article should make clear mention of the setting (Britain).

 * England, more precisely, though it's quite possible he himself was French. But I don't think it's critical; the first sentence mentions Durham and Canterbury in the first sentence, which is pretty much guaranteed to place it, and the date means there's no risk of confusion with Durham, NC.
