Talk:Pentalene

A diagram of this molecule is needed.

Whoops, sorry... I was curious about this compound, and the first paper I found discussed the dianion, and I falsely assumed that's what "pentalene" referred to. Now I see the true structure of this molecule. I'll put up an image with it. Ed Sanville 06:06, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

The article is misleading in stating the molecule is "not fully aromatic." It has 8 pi electrons and is therefore antiaromatic.169.237.39.9 17:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

03:36, 28 December 2007 (UTC) Ok, I added a little bit on the organometallic chem of pentalene

SMILES is wrong
Pentalene is the quintessential antiaromatic molecule. Its SMILES should be `C1=CC2=CC=CC2=C1` (kekulised). In fact, `c1c=c2ccc=c2c1` is incorrect as the bond between aromatic atoms can only be `:` —I checked and RDKit cannot load it. I'd change it myself, but I assume there's a bot or something that maintains it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.109.179 (talk) 15:58, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Dennis Publishing

Dennis Publishing Ltd. was a British publisher. It was founded in 1973 by Felix Dennis. Its first publication was a kung-fu magazine. Most of its titles now belong to Future plc.

In the 1980s, it became a leading publisher of computer enthusiast magazines in the United Kingdom. In the 1990s, it expanded to the American market, where it published the lifestyle magazines Maxim, the consumer electronics magazine Stuff, and the music magazine Blender. In 2007, the company sold all its American holdings, with the exception of the U.S. edition of The Week.

Felix Dennis died in 2014, leaving ownership of the company to the charity organization Heart of England Forest. In 2018, the company was sold to Exponent, a British private equity firm.

Future plc acquired the company and its 12 titles in August 2021, absorbing them into Future Publishing.

Foundation and early development
Felix Dennis started in the magazine business in the late 1960s as one of the editors of the counterculture magazine OZ. In the mid-1970s, Dennis Publishing was born, beginning with a kung-fu magazine, Kung Fu Monthly.

Dennis followed this up in the early 1980s by publishing titles in the emerging computer enthusiast sector, including Your Spectrum (later renamed Your Sinclair and sold to Future Publishing). Dennis has since maintained a foothold in the computer magazine business; until Maxim's success in the United States in the late 1990s, computer magazines were the mainstay of Dennis' magazine holdings, second only to Future Publishing in the UK.

In 1987 the publisher was renamed from Sportscene Specialist Press to Dennis Publishing.

Dennis Publishing, Inc. published one of the most successful modern men's lifestyle magazines in America: Maxim (2.5 million rate base) – along with Stuff (1.3 million rate base) and general interest music magazine Blender (800,000 rate base).

2000–2021
On 5 February 2005, Maxim Radio was launched on Sirius Satellite Radio. On 12 November 2008, Sirius and XM merged, and five days later Sirius XM Stars Too debuted on Sirius Satellite Radio on Sirius 108 and XM 139. In May 2011, Stars Too moved to channel 104 on both services.

On 15 February 2007, Dennis Publishing, Inc. announced that it had retained media investment firm Allen & Company as its exclusive financial advisor to explore various strategic alternatives available to the company including a possible sale of the company. In June 2007, all of Dennis's United States holdings – minus the U.S. edition of The Week – were sold to the private equity firm Quadrangle Group. This included the editions of Maxim, Stuff and Blender.

In January 2008, Dennis Publishing acquired the online news site The First Post for an undisclosed sum. In February, Dennis Publishing announced the launch of iGizmo, a free fortnightly interactive digital magazine dedicated to gadgets and consumer technology, launching on 11 March. In November, Dennis Publishing acquired the online games and hardware enthusiast website Bit-Tech for an undisclosed sum.

For 2012, Dennis Publishing, producing more than 50 magazines, increased its group pre-tax profits by 35% year-on-year from £4.1m to £5.5m. Group operating profit climbed almost 12% to £4.9m. Group turnover, excluding share of joint venture revenues, rose slightly year on year to just over £70m. Revenues including joint ventures climbed 3% to £77.7m. Operations in the UK accounted for almost 84% of total revenues.

After Felix Dennis' death in 2014, Dennis Publishing was owned by the Heart of England Forest Charity, a charity set up by Dennis to replant trees.

In 2015, Dennis Publishing invested £3million in the launch of Coach, a free health and fitness magazine for men with a circulation of 300,000. The launch editor was Ed Needham.

In 2017, based on DoG Tech's rapid growth in the United States and other markets, Dennis Publishing entered into a joint venture agreement with DoG Tech LLC.

In July 2017, Dennis Publishing acquired MoneyWeek, UK's best-selling financial magazine.

In July 2018, Dennis Publishing was bought by Exponent, a British private equity firm. The proceeds from the sale went to the Heart of England Forest charity and the speculated figure for the acquisition was £150 million.

In October 2018, Dennis Publishing launched Driving Electric, a website focused on hybrid and electric car reviews, news, features and videos aimed at UK consumers.

In February 2019, Dennis Publishing acquired Kiplinger, an American publisher of personal finance and business publications such as the personal finance magazine Kiplinger's Personal Finance and the weekly business and economic forecasting newsletter The Kiplinger Letter. The company also owns the website Kiplinger.com. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. Later that year, Dennis Publishing divested its share in Den of Geek World Limited to its partner, DoG Tech LLC.

In February 2020, Dennis Publishing announced plans to launch a United States version of The Week Junior, a weekly subscription print magazine aimed at children aged 8 to 14 which was initially published in the UK in 2015.

In March 2021, Exponent separated Dennis Publishing's automotive assets into an independent division within Dennis called Autovia Limited.

2021 sale to Future plc
In August 2021, Future plc acquired Dennis Publishing Ltd and its 12 titles (including The Week) while Exponent moved Cyclist, Expert Reviews, Fortean Times, and Viz into a separate holding company called Broadleaf Group. Dennis Publishing's automotive assets were transferred to now-independent Autovia Limited.

Dennis Digital
Dennis Digital, formerly known as MaximNet, which launched in 1999, is the interactive Internet and mobile division of Dennis Publishing, which publishes Maxim, Stuff, and The Week, and previously published (now defunct) Blender.

Publications
Dennis Publishing titles up until Autovia Limited spin-out and Future plc acquisition including:

USS Pocahontas (ID-3044)

USS Pocahontas (SP-3044) was a transport ship for the United States Navy during World War I. She was originally SS Prinzess Irene, a Barbarossa-class ocean liner built in 1899 by AG Vulcan Stettin of Stettin, Germany, for the North German Lloyd line.

At the beginning of World War I the ship was in New York and was interned by the United States. She was seized when that country entered the conflict in 1917 and converted to a troop transport. As USS Pocahontas, she carried 24,573 servicemen to Europe, and after the war returned 23,296 servicemen to the United States. Decommissioned by the U.S. Navy, the United States Shipping Board sold her back to the North German Lloyd line, where she saw mercantile service until being scrapped in 1932.

SS Prinzess Irene
She was launched as Prinzess Irene on 19 June 1900 by Aktiengesellschaft Vulkan, Stettin, Germany for North German Lloyd Lines. On 9 September 1900, she started her maiden voyage to New York City. On 30 October 1900, she began the first of seven trips on the German Empire mail run to the Far East to Yokohama, the route she was built for.

On 30 April 1903, she went on the Genoa – Naples – New York run and stayed mainly on this service together with her sister ship SS König Albert and sometimes other ships of the Barbarossa class. In 1911, under Captain Frederic von Letten-Peterssen, she was stranded for eighty-three hours on the Fire Island sandbars.

Her last voyage was to New York on 9 July 1914. With the outbreak of World War I in August, she was stranded in New York since the British Royal Navy controlled the North Atlantic. She remained there until seized by the United States by on 30 June 1917, under the authority prescribed in the Enemy Vessel Confiscation Joint Resolution passed on 12 May 1917.

USS Pocahontas
After refitting and training with the Atlantic Fleet, she was commissioned as Princess Irene on 25 July 1917. Assigned to the Cruiser-Transport Force under Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves, the ship was renamed Pocahontas on 1 September 1917.

Through the rest of the war and for nearly a year after the Armistice, Pocahontas served as a troop transport, completing eighteen round trips to Europe. She carried 24,573 servicemen to Brest and St. Nazaire and returned 23,296 servicemen to the United States.

Although Pocahontas conveyed all of her passengers safely, she faced numerous dangers. The most serious incident occurred in the forenoon of 2 May 1918 when an Imperial German Navy submarine surfaced in her path and straddled her with 5.9 in shells. Captain Edward C. Kalbfus ordered the crew to battle stations and gave the signal to open fire. However, the U-boat was not in range of her guns. Fragments of enemy shells landed on the ship, but she was not directly hit and suffered no casualties. Captain Kalbus commenced zig-zag courses, and then at full speed drew away from the submarine, probably SMU U-151, about twenty minutes after the attack began. Making a record of 16.2 kn, he kept the enemy out of range until he lost her. For his successful defense of his ship, Captain Kalfbus was awarded the Navy Cross.

Pocahontas decommissioned at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on 7 November 1919 and was handed over to the United States Shipping Board for sale.

SS Pocahontas
In 1920, SS Pocahontas was chartered to the United States Mail Steamship Company of New York and began commercial services between the United States and Italy in 1921.

Pocahontas was the subject of widespread media coverage between May and July 1921 due to mechanical problems, sabotage and mutiny. The vessel left New York on 23 May 1921 en route to Naples. On 25 May, she was anchored off Nobska Point in Vineyard Sound in need of repair. A gang of boilermakers and mechanics boarded the ship to make repairs en route to Boston. Further repairs were undertaken in the Azores in June. The vessel did not arrive in Naples until 4 July, spending 43 days at sea. It was later reported that the vessel had been subject to sabotage and that some of the crew "began to threaten the commander and to damage the machinery and the electric light apparatus and even attempt ... to sink the steamer" Just before entering Naples, the assistant engineer drowned when he jumped overboard. On arrival in Naples, the ship's captain submitted a full report to the American consul, who conducted an investigation. The crew, in turn, filed charges of cruelty against the captain with the Italian authorities. While the crew were returned to the United States, the ship was repaired in Naples. A "great deal" of cotton waste was found in the steamer's pumps, but otherwise it suffered only minor damage. Although she was due to sail for New York on 31 July, the ship was ordered to stay in port pending payment of debts incurred in relation to the repair work. The total repair bill amounted to 2,700,000 lire. Despite intervention from the American consul, the ship did not sail until 8 September. Due to frequent bunker fires, however, the ship was considered to be in worse condition "than when it was in drydock". The vessel was again laid up on 22 September, this time in Gibraltar, having suffered further damage to her machinery. Passengers were transferred to other vessels. The ship then remained inactive until she was sold in 1922.

The then future Prime Minister of Israel, Golda Meir, was on board Pocahontas in May 1921, while emigrating from the United States to Palestine. She recounts the events of the journey in her autobiography, My Life.

SS Bremen
In April 1922, the United States Shipping Board received an offer of £17,000 for the purchase of Pocahontas, which was then laid up in Malta. When the United States Mail Steamship Company went into liquidation in 1922, the ship was sold back to its original owners, North German Lloyd and renamed Bremen.

After repair and refit, SS Bremen made her first voyage from Bremen to New York in April 1923.

The Laristan a cargo ship foundered in the Atlantic Ocean (45.2°N, -43.2°W) with the loss of 24 of her 30 crew. Survivors were rescued by Bremen.

SS Karlsruhe
She was renamed Karlsruhe in 1928 and continued to serve until 1932, before being scrapped in Germany.

Huub Oosterhuis

Hubertus Gerardus Josephus Henricus "Huub" Oosterhuis (1 November 19339 April 2023) was a Dutch theologian and poet. He is mainly known for his contribution to Christian music and liturgy in Dutch and also in German, used in both Protestant and Catholic churches. He authored over 60 books and over 700 hymns, songs, psalms (often in an own interpretation), and prayers. Several of his songs were translated, and he received international awards and recognition.

Life and career
Oosterhuis was born on 1 November 1933 in Amsterdam. He attended a high school there and joined the Society of Jesus in 1954. He was ordained as a priest at the Basilica of Saint Servatius in Maastricht in 1964.

From 1954, inspired by Che Guevara who said that churches have the potential to transform the social structure of society, Oosterhuis combined his religious position with political activism.

In 1965, Oosterhuis was appointed priest of the student parish in Amsterdam, Studentenekklesia. He became one of the major supporters of ecumenism, following the modernist interpretation of the Second Vatican Council. He started out to rewrite the liturgy and make it acceptable to all. Some of his changes were considered controversial within the Roman Catholic Church especially writing the prayer for agnostics: "Heer, als U bestaat, kom dan onder ons" ("Lord, if You exist, come amongst us"). A few songs have been censored in some dioceses.

His political views, conflicts regarding the liturgy, and unorthodox views regarding priestly celibacy led to Oosterhuis being dismissed from the Jesuit order and defrocked by the Bishop of Harlem Theodorus Zwartkruis in 1969. He left the Catholic Church and functioned as an Independent Catholic priest, in charge of a church in Amsterdam, for about forty years. He remained focused on writing liturgy, poetry and essays.

In the 1960s and 1970s, his liturgical texts were put to music by his fellow former Jesuit Bernard Huijbers (1922–2003). When this co-operation between Oosterhuis and Huijbers ended, Huijbers engaged himself more and more in a "spirituality-without-God" or "- without-Thou", while Oosterhuis kept to his biblical prayers, hymns, and psalms. After they split up and Huijbers moved to the south of France, Oosterhuis's main composers were two of Huijbers' pupils, Antoine Oomen and Tom Löwenthal.

Oosterhuis founded "De Rode Hoed" ("The Red Hat"), a discussion centre in Amsterdam in 1990, for his student organisation, and was its director until 1998.

Personal life
In 1970, Oosterhuis married nurse and violist Jozefien Melief. They had two children, Trijntje Oosterhuis and Tjeerd Oosterhuis, who both became musicians. They divorced, and he married a second time.

Oosterhuis died on 9 April 2023, at age 89, after a short illness.

Walter Meinrad, a German theologian and musicologist, thinks that the songs by Oosterhuis will leave a lasting impression because they serve no fashion but touch existential human conditions and express tensions such as life and death, doubt and insecurities. Like psalms and other great hymns, his texts show "a sense for the overtones of helplessness, lament and the unfinished" ("ein Gespür für die Obertöne des Unvermögens, der Klage, des Unfertigen").

Work
Oosterhuis wrote over 60 books and more than 700 hymns, songs, psalms (often in an own interpretation), and prayers. Many songs are part of the hymnal Liedboek voor de Kerken. His poetry was not valued in the same way; Gerrit Komrij, editor of an influential anthology of Dutch poetry, referred to him as "the firm Christ & Co.", and did not include a single poem of Oosterhuis's in his anthology.

In 2002, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands asked Oosterhuis to deliver the eulogy at the funeral of her husband, Prince-Consort Claus von Amsberg, a longtime personal friend, in the New Church in Delft: Claus and Oosterhuis had first met in 1968 and he visited the royal family regularly. That same week, the Protestant VU University in Amsterdam granted Oosterhuis an honorary doctorate in theology. Herman Amelink noted in NRC Handelsblad after Oosterhuis died that this should have been done by a Catholic university, but that his history with the Catholic church probably disallowed this—and that the church had further distanced itself from Oosterhuis in 2000 by scrapping all of Oosterhuis's songs from a new edition of the songbook for the Roermond diocese.

At De Rode Hoed, André van der Louw announced his Social Democratic Renewal Program, an incentive to reform the Labour Party. Oosterhuis ultimately chose the less-known Socialist Party, as he viewed it as being closer to socialist ideals. He said that "The Socialist Party is closer to the social ethics of the Bible than many Christian parties." He had joined the Socialist Party in 1999, and in the 2006 elections Oosterhuis stood for the party as the final candidate, a symbolic position. After his death in 2023, the party published an in memoriam on their website, saying his inspiration continues to live in the party.

Oosterhuis made a translation of the Torah together with Alex van Heusden, which was released in five separate books, as an attempt to translate the first five books of the Bible as closely to contemporary Dutch as possible without losing the style of the original Hebrew text.

Hymns
The first hymn by Oosterhuis was "Wie als een God wil leven", in 1965. It was translated in 1969 by Johannes Bergsma, and included in the 1975 German Catholic hymnal Gotteslob and its second edition. His song "Heer, onze Heer". written in 1965 to a traditional Dutch melody, was translated to German as "Herr, unser Herr, wie bist du zugegen" (Lord, our Lord, how present you are), and included in several hymnals and songbooks. Lothar Zenetti translated his "Ik sta voor U in leegte en gemis" to "Ich steh vor dir mit leeren Händen, Herr" (I stand before You with empty hands), which was included in German Protestant and Catholic hymnals. When the hymnal's second edition was prepared, some feared that his popular songs would be eliminated because of his dissident stance, but all five and a litany were retained.

Oosterhuis received the German ecumenical Predigtpreis (sermon award) for his life's work in 2014.

Translations
Translations into English include At Times I See, The Children of the Poor Man, and Wake Your Power (CD), and also:

He is known for his roles as Matthew Applewhite in the second season of ABC's series Desperate Housewives (2005–2006), Jerome in The Game, "Eggs" Benedict Talley in the first and second seasons of HBO's series True Blood, his leading role as Terrance "TK" King in the USA series Necessary Roughness (2011–2013) and James Olsen in the CBS/The CW series Supergirl. In 2022, he began his portrayal of NYPD Detective Jalen Shaw on the NBC police procedural drama Law & Order, with the start of the series' 22nd season.

Early life
Brooks was born and raised in Austin, Texas, where he attended L.C. Anderson High School. Brooks is the son of Austin American-Statesman editorial writer Alberta Phillips and former pro football player Billy Brooks; his stepfather is lawyer Gary Bledsoe. After graduating from high school in 1999, he attended the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television. Brooks mentioned on a September 2010 episode of The Wendy Williams Show that he turned down basketball scholarships and offers from Ivy League schools in favor of going to USC. He then left to pursue an acting career.

Career
Brooks' early work includes being a Calvin Klein underwear model.

In 2004, Brooks played a high school basketball player who was killed by a teammate's father on the series Cold Case (season 1, episode 17). From 2005 to 2006, Brooks played the role of Matthew Applewhite on the ABC TV drama Desperate Housewives. He appeared in Glory Road, portraying Harry Flournoy, an athlete at Texas Western University when the five starting black players beat Kentucky for the national championship.

Spurious correlation of ratios

In statistics, spurious correlation of ratios is a form of spurious correlation that arises between ratios of absolute measurements which themselves are uncorrelated.

The phenomenon of spurious correlation of ratios is one of the main motives for the field of compositional data analysis, which deals with the analysis of variables that carry only relative information, such as proportions, percentages and parts-per-million.

Spurious correlation is distinct from misconceptions about correlation and causality.

Illustration of spurious correlation
Pearson states a simple example of spurious correlation: "Select three numbers within certain ranges at random, say x, y, z, these will be pair and pair uncorrelated. Form the proper fractions x/z and y/z for each triplet, and correlation will be found between these indices."

The scatter plot above illustrates this example using 500 observations of x, y, and z. Variables x, y and z are drawn from normal distributions with means 10, 10, and 30, respectively, and standard deviations 1, 1, and 3 respectively, i.e.,

 * $$\begin{align}

x,y & \sim N(10,1) \\ z & \sim N(30,3) \\ \end{align}$$

Even though x, y, and z are statistically independent and therefore uncorrelated, in the depicted typical sample the ratios x/z and y/z have a correlation of 0.53. This is because of the common divisor (z) and can be better understood if we colour the points in the scatter plot by the z-value. Trios of (x, y, z) with relatively large z values tend to appear in the bottom left of the plot; trios with relatively small z values tend to appear in the top right.

Approximate amount of spurious correlation
Pearson derived an approximation of the correlation that would be observed between two indices ($$x_1/x_3$$ and $$x_2/x_4$$), i.e., ratios of the absolute measurements $$x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4$$:

\rho = \frac{r_{12} v_1 v_2 - r_{14} v_1 v_4 - r_{23} v_2 v_3 + r_{34} v_3 v_4}{\sqrt{v_1^2 + v_3^2 - 2 r_{13} v_1 v_3} \sqrt{v_2^2 +  v_4^2 - 2 r_{24} v_2 v_4}} $$

where $$v_i$$ is the coefficient of variation of $$x_i$$, and $$r_{ij}$$ the Pearson correlation between $$x_i$$ and $$x_j$$.

This expression can be simplified for situations where there is a common divisor by setting $$x_3=x_4$$, and $$x_1, x_2, x_3$$ are uncorrelated, giving the spurious correlation:

\rho_0 = \frac{v_3^2}{\sqrt{v_1^2 + v_3^2} \sqrt{v_2^2 +  v_3^2}}. $$

For the special case in which all coefficients of variation are equal (as is the case in the illustrations at right), $$\rho_0 = 0.5 $$

Relevance to biology and other sciences
Pearson was joined by Sir Francis Galton and Walter Frank Raphael Weldon in cautioning scientists to be wary of spurious correlation, especially in biology where it is common to scale or normalize measurements by dividing them by a particular variable or total. The danger he saw was that conclusions would be drawn from correlations that are artifacts of the analysis method, rather than actual “organic” relationships.

However, it would appear that spurious correlation (and its potential to mislead) is not yet widely understood. In 1986 John Aitchison, who pioneered the log-ratio approach to compositional data analysis wrote: "It seems surprising that the warnings of three such eminent statistician-scientists as Pearson, Galton and Weldon should have largely gone unheeded for so long: even today uncritical applications of inappropriate statistical methods to compositional data with consequent dubious inferences are regularly reported."

More recent publications suggest that this lack of awareness prevails, at least in molecular bioscience.

Clare Higgins (politician)

Mary Clare Higgins is an American politician who was a six-term mayor of Northampton, Massachusetts, from 2000 to 2011. A Democrat, she was the second woman to hold the position. Higgins became the executive director of Community Action Pioneer Valley in September 2011.

Education and background
Higgins was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is one of six siblings. As a adolescent, she moved with her family to Brooklyn, New York, where her father was active in politics. She earned her bachelor's degree in 2003 through the University Without Walls (University of Massachusetts Amherst). Higgins worked in early childhood education.

Career
Higgins became involved in politics in the early 1990s, when she became a commissioner on the board of the Northampton Housing Authority. During the same period, the city drew national media attention for its percentage of lesbians among the population.

Higgins was elected as an at-large City Councilor in 1993 and held the office until 1999; she served as president of the council for the last two years.

Higgins was elected to her first term as mayor in November 1999, assuming office in January 2000. She was the city's first openly lesbian mayor. Higgins resigned in September 2011 to become executive director of Community Action Pioneer Valley.

During her tenure, she was able to secure affordable housing for residents who were at risk of losing their homes due to condo conversion. The city's capital improvement fund for infrastructure was greatly expanded and used for a new water filtration plant, a senior center, a new police station, and new public works facility.

She is a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, an organization formed in 2006 and co-chaired by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston mayor Thomas Menino.

Higgins was recognized for her contributions by U.S. House of Representatives in 2012. She campaigned for Barack Obama during 2012 as part of the bus tour "Mayors for Obama". She became a monthly columnist for the Daily Hampshire Gazette.

Talk:Early 2000s recession

Mering Clinton Recession into Early 2000s recession
Proposing merger of content, though the basic content is duplicated. I think there's some references that should make it into this article, but I wanted some other eyeballs on the articles before doing anything. mordel (talk) 20:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

A reference was made about the Council of Economic Advisers under Bush making a move to change the beginning of the recession was seen as politically motivated. It used BusinessWeek magazine as a source, but the cite was to an editorial commentary and not to an article. The reference also did not say who saw the move as politically motivated, so the sentence was removed. If a future editor wishes to add a similar sentence it should be from a reputable and unbiased article and not an editorial and/or commentary.RickW7x2 (talk) 10:42, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

introrewrite
I placed the tag because the intro fails to define the recession, or indeed what a recession is or the time period during which this one existed (exists?). --Thinboy00's sockpuppet  alternate account 21:31, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Recession ended in 2005

 * I believe only in January 2005, right when George W. Bush began his second term in office had the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the early 2000's recession has officially ended. You might better explain the financial impact the terrorist attacks of 9/11 had on the national and global economies, from Oct. 2001 to Dec. 2004, there was a substantial decline in economic growth and at times, very small positive economic growth to taper off by the end of 2003. Alike the early 1990's recession, this was also referred to a "mild" recession to most economic analysists. In part of the beginnings of the real estate boom from 2004 to 2007 that was profitable and the mortgage loan industry before the 2008 financial collapse brought on a larger repeat of the "mild" 2001 economic slowdown. Only the US enjoyed a slight recovery, but western Europe took longer to sort things out and mid 2000's spikes in oil prices benefited the Persian gulf states. But Japan recovered from the record 12-year recession, the longest of any developed country since the end of World War II or surpassed the late USSR in transition from communist to capitalist economics in the early 1990's. + 71.102.2.206 (talk) 12:11, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

insufficient info
The article is too superficial to understand. The root cause of the recession should be explained for it to be effective. A much detail explanation regarding the financial conditions at that period and the political status is also worth to be included.

Recession 2000s → Early 2000s recession – Moved without discussion by User:Markdask in February. The current title is unidiomatic and lends itself to confusion with the Great Recession. Raymie (t • c) 19:07, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 * I should have proposed the move; my bad. is also right to point to the likely confusion with the 2008/9 recession so the title needs to change.
 * I stick with my original reason for the move though that, for ease of access, the subject should be the first word, as is the case with other recessions listed. The format Recession of might be a little too specific in this instance though, as it was a creeping recession, so I would suggest "Recession (early 2000s)". Mark  Dask  20:25, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Looking at the members of Category:Recessions, we have 1973–1975 recession, 1998–2002 Argentine great depression, Depression of 1882–1885, Depression of 1920–1921, Early 1980s recession, Early 1990s recession, Recession of 1937–1938, Recession of 1949, Recession of 1953, Recession of 1958, Recession of 1960–1961, and Recession of 1969–1970. So there is some real variance in the article titles here. I can't say "Recession (early 2000s)" matches any of them, though. Raymie (t • c) 20:34, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I searched "Recession" and of course only saw the "of" entries. How then is one supposed to search, for example, the 1998-2002 Argentine Great Depression? The intro says the recession was primarily an EU/US event during 2000-2001 so perhaps "Recession of 2000-2001" to conform with the already easy-to-access entries.
 * We might then consider moving those other entries that begin with a date, that likely most readers will not even consider searching for. Mark  Dask  21:12, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Westtown School

Westtown School is a Quaker, coeducational, college preparatory day and boarding school for students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade, located in West Chester, Pennsylvania, United States, 20 miles west of Philadelphia. Founded in 1799 by the Religious Society of Friends.

Westtown is a Quaker school affiliated with the Friends General Conference branch of the Religious Society of Friends. The school requires all students to attend Meeting for Worship together with adults in the community who voluntarily attend. Westtown uses the traditional Quaker practice of coming to unity in making some high-level decisions.

Westtown has been coeducational since its 1799 founding. Westtown students come from 16 states and 13 countries.

History
Westtown School opened on May 6, 1799. Philadelphia Quakers founded the school after raising money to build a boarding school and purchasing land a full day's carriage ride from Philadelphia—where they could provide a "guarded education in a healthy environment" away from the secular influences of the city. For many years, Westtown was nearly self-sufficient, with the campus providing raw materials used in the construction of its buildings and food for the people who lived and worked at the school. Westtown is the oldest continuously operating co-educational boarding school in the United States.

Boys and girls had separate classes until about 1870. Boys learned useful skills such as woodshop, surveying, and bookkeeping, and girls had classes like sewing. However, Westtown eventually recognized that students of both genders should know basic academic subjects such as reading, penmanship, grammar, mathematics, geography, and science.

The 1880s brought physical changes to Westtown. The main building was replaced with a structure designed by architect Addison Hutton, completed in 1888, and still in use today. During the 20th century, the student body and curriculum became more diverse. For example, the school added visual and performing arts, and non-Quakers, African-American, and international students were eventually admitted.

Westtown's Esther Duke Archives is a facility dedicated to collecting and maintaining materials relating to the people and history of the school.

Student Life
Westtown School boasts a wide variety of clubs and organizations, both faculty and student run. Many of these clubs are geared at creating change, such as SASH(Students Advocating for Student Health), JSU(Jewish Student Union), BSU(Black Student Union), ISO(International Student Organization), Green Coalition, Politics Club, and Rainbow Alliance. Other clubs with a more recreational or hobby like focus exist as well. Flag football club, chess club, ski club, Dungeons and Dragons club, and Model UN are all popular clubs at Westtown School.

Students also partake in weekend trips to places like Philadelphia, King of Prussia Mall, and West Chester.

Sports
The 2018 documentary, We Town, is about the 2016-2017 Upper School Basketball Team, featuring Mo Bamba and Cam Reddish. It chronicles the quest of the team to win the State Championship.

The Westtown Wrestling team, led by legendary coaches Jay Farrow '75 and Timothy Loose, has amassed 26 League Titles. The Wrestling team has the most FSL titles for any sport and team in the entire league's history. Jay Farrow coached the wrestling team for 44 years. Jay amassed 498 dual meet victories as a coach while also coaching 162 PAISWT Placewinners, including multiple National Prep All-Americans. He won PAISWT Head Coach of the Year and National Preps Head Coach of the Year in 2024, his final season of coaching.

In 2023, the Westtown boys varsity soccer team won the FSL without conceding a single goal. Additionally, girls' varsity won every game they played, and both boys and girls JV won their leagues respectively, making it the most successful year for a Friends League school's soccer program in the history of the competition.

Campus
Westtown is located on a campus in southern Pennsylvania. The campus is 600 acres, including a 14.5-acre lake, arboretum, frog pond, 14 playing fields, stadium tennis courts, organic farm, Lower School mini-farm, medicine wheel garden, wooded cross country course, and 21-element ropes course.

Additionally, the campus has several dozen acres of farmland, and hosts "Farmer Jawn's", a local produce store. Students can participate in farming as a co-curricular. "Farmer Jawn's" also supports a number of food cupboards in the Philadelphia area.

Merthyr Mawr

Merthyr Mawr is a village and community in Bridgend, Wales. The village is about $2 1/2$ miles from the centre of Bridgend town. The population of the community at the 2011 census was 267. The community occupies the area west of the Ewenny River, between Bridgend and Porthcawl. It takes in the settlement of Tythegston and a stretch of coastal sand dunes known as Merthyr Mawr Warren. It is in the historic county of Glamorgan.

Buildings and landmarks of note
Merthyr Mawr House is an early 19th-century mansion built by Sir John Nicholl and set in an extensive park. The park is designated at Grade II* on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. Within the park is the Iron Age hillfort known as Chapel Hill Camp, and within the embankments is the now roofless 15th century chapel of St Roque (or Roch), which houses two early medieval inscribed stones.

Merthyr Mawr is largely an estate village for the House. It now contains several cottages retaining thatched roofs and well maintained gardens. At the south end of the village is the parish church of St Teilo, which was built in 1849–51 to a design by Benjamin Ferrey and John Pritchard, on an ancient medieval site. A collection of stones from the former churchyard and the surrounding area are displayed in a shelter in the churchyard.

Nearby are the Merthyr Mawr Sand Dunes. Candleston Castle is on the edge of the area of dunes. Mike Young Productions children's cartoon studio is located in Merthyr Mawr.

The River Ogmore flows through the village and a famous sheep dipping bridge crosses it on the outskirts of the village. The former POW Camp Island Farm is less than a mile away. The Ewenny River forms the southern boundary of both the community and the borough. The villages of Ewenny and Ogmore-by-Sea are both on the southern bank of the Ewenny, along with Ogmore Castle.

Scheduled Monuments

There are large number of archaeological sites in the Community area, showing habitation from Neolithic times, and intensive occupation since Roman times. Thirteen sites are Scheduled Monuments, which gives them legal protection from disturbance:-

 * Tythegston Long Barrow (51.5008°N, -3.6371°W, SS864792). A Neolithic chambered tomb toward the east end of a long mound.
 * Mynydd Herbert Round Barrow (51.5057°N, -3.6564°W, SS851798) A Bronze Age burial cairn 2m high covered in stones, possibly cleared from nearby fields, in the corner of a field 1 km north of Tythegston.
 * Chapel Hill Camp (51.4906°N, -3.6018°W, SS889780) A small Iron Age hillfort on a low hilltop. The ruins of St Roques chapel, lying within the enclosure, gives its name to the hill.

 * Merthyr Mawr Warren (51.4813°N, -3.6386°W, SS863770) An area of dunes within which numerous prehistoric burial sites and other findspots have been uncovered, especially during sand and gravel extraction.
 * Cae Summerhouse Camp (51.4894°N, -3.6375°W, SS864779). A settlement site with intensive 1st to 4th century occupation in a defended enclosure, covering the Iron Age & Roman periods.
 * Merthyr Mawr pre-Norman Stones (51.4856°N, -3.6105°W, SS882775) A series of locally found early medieval stone pillars, slabs and crosses, now housed in a shelter within Merthyr Mawr St Teilo churchyard.
 * Vervil Dyke (51.4848°N, -3.6014°W, SS889774) A bank and ditch runs between the rivers Ogmore and Eweny. Traces of a parallel bank imply a settlement enclosure of early medieval date.
 * Cross in Tythegston Churchyard (51.4967°N, -3.6471°W, SS857788) An 11th-century sandstone slab set in a modern socket, in St Tudwg's churchyard, Tythegsto.
 * St Roque's Chapel (51.4908°N, -3.6021°W, SS888780) A ruined medieval chapel, sited inside Chapel Hill Camp, within the park of Merthyr Mawr House.
 * Conbelani Stone in St Roque's Chapel (51.4908°N, -3.6021°W, SS888780) An inscribed pillar cross, originally on the river bank at Merthyr Mawr. Another cross pillar, the Goblin Stone, is also in the ruined chapel.
 * Candleston Castle (51.4829°N, -3.6269°W, SS871772) A lightly fortified 14th century manor house overlooking Merthyr Mawr Warren, which continued in occupation until the 19th century.
 * Merthyr Mawr Churchyard Cross (51.4853°N, -3.6103°W, SS882774) An octagonal 14th century cross pillar with part of its original finial, set in three steps of sandstone.
 * New Inn Bridge (51.4936°N, -3.5989°W, SS891783) A Stone bridge in the parish, but near Bridgend. It has 4 arches, and is dated to the 16th century or older. Two openings allow sheep washing, giving an alternate name of 'Dipping Bridge'.

National nature reserve
The sand dune system known as Merthyr Mawr warren is a scheduled National Nature Reserve. It contains the highest sand-dunes in Wales and is notable for its floristic and animal communities including rare plants. It has also been the site of many archaeological finds.

Talk:Unio Trium Nationum

Romanian historiography
This article largely reflects Romanian historiography, with the theme of suppression of the Romanians by the Hungarians.

 * Are you arguing that the Romanians were not suppressed ? There's a reason why it was called the Union of the Three Nations. bogdan ʤjuʃkə | Talk 16:01, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * No, I'm objecting to a biased article written only from the Romanian point of view. The article as you wrote it, portrays the Union as purely ethnically-based - it wasn't. Not only the Romanians who were surpressed - the Hungarians were too (most Hungarians were serfs). At a simplistic level, it was the Transylvanian Estates who supressed the serfs (all of them, Romanian, Hungarian and Slav). Clearly the Romanian serfs suffered more than Hungarians Scott Moore 09:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Dear Scott Moore, your explanations are from the Romanian Communist history books for school childrens. The communists insisted that the revolt was a JOINT revolt of the Romanian and Hungarian serfs, a prelude of the communist class internationalism. Stop this kind of propaganda ! It's obsolete and indecent. The revolt was in fact a Romanian serf's revolt agains the Apartheid style government of Transylvania. Unio Trium Nationum reinforced the Apartheid style regime, directed against the large Romanian population of Transylvania. In fact this style of government was indispensable for the domination of the small groups of Hungarians, Szeklers and Saxons over the Romanian population. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.81.154.130 (talk) 20:30, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Serfs were excluded from politics throughout the Kingdom of Hungary, both before and after the peasants revolt of 1437,

 * The difference between the Hungarians and the Romanians was that there was no Romanian nobility. bogdan ʤjuʃkə | Talk 16:01, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm well aware of this fact. But, I repeat, most of the Hungarians were serfs and not nobility. Scott Moore 09:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There was a Romanian Nobility in Transylvania
Many of them lost their Romanian identity through inter-marriages; however at the end at the 19th Century there were about eight thousand noble families in Transylvania who considered themselves Romanian. A three volume book was published in 1890s in Sibiu with details about these noble Romanian families; many of them could track their noble origins back to the XIII and XIV Centuries. At about the same time the brother of the catholic archbishop of Blaj, Ioan Mihaly of Apsa (a Romanian nobleman by birth himself) published a well known book about the Romanian nobility from Maramures (sure Maramures is not part of Transylvania proper). What is interesting about the Romaniam nobles of Maramures that many of them lost their wealth and became (free) peasants; despite this even today they are still aware of their noble origins and have their nobility papers, many of then 400-500 years old; they are extremely proud of their nobility. They live in a few 'noble' villages and tend not to mix or marry with the rest of the population. The traces of the Romanian nobility are everywhere in Transylvania. You can check the genealogy of every Hungarian Transylvanian family and you will find at least one or two Romanian noble ancestors (proof that inter-marriages among nobles of different ethnic backgrouds were quite often). After the union with the catholic church in 1700, many members of the upper greek-catholic clergy were Romanian noblemen; true, some of them became nobles because of their position in the church (like Inocentiu Klein) but many of them were noble by birth (Patachi, Ioan Bobb) Romanian communist historiography tried to oversimplify things for obvious reasons and came up with the absurd idea that there were no Romanian noblemen. Not only they existed but some of them prospered and managed to reach positions of power. The story of John Hunyadi, a modest Romenian nobleman who became a priמce and Regent of Hungary is known by everybody and proves that back in the XV Century being a Romanian nobleman in Transylvania or Hungary was not that bad. What sucked was being a serf (Romanian, Hungarian or Slav)

so it is simplistic to suggest that it was only the Unio Trium Natiorum that enforced the inferior position of the peasantry in Transylvania. Scott Moore 14:30, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Deletions

 * You deleted factual information without any reason. Please motivate each change. bogdan ʤjuʃkə | Talk 16:01, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

OK, I'll be more specific. "formed in 1438 by the Transylvanian Hungarian, the Saxon and Szekler nobility in order to keep the social status quo." This is incorrect (certainly how you have written it in English is incorrect). The pact was not formed only by the nobility as you have written. It was formed (as I wrote) by the three Transylvanian Estates: the nobility (largely but not entirely Hungarian), the burghers (largely but not entirely Saxons) and the Szeklers (who were not nobles, but had a special status within the Kingdom of Hungary). Also the pact was not formed only to keep the social status quo (although this was one of the reasons).

"It was formed after the Bobâlna revolt of 1437, during which peasants and serfs (mostly of Romanian ethnicity) revolted against the (largely Hungarian) nobility." Actually the revolt was led by a Hungarian (Anthony Budai Nagy) and five others (3 Hungarian peasants, 1 Romanian peasant, and a burgher from Timisoara).

This coalition specifically excluded Romanians from the polical and social life of Transylvania and although they made up the majority of the population, they were only considered a "tolerated" nation, this status being kept until after WWI.

"This coalition specifically excluded Romanians from the polical and social life of Transylvania" No, it specifically excluded the serfs. You seem to forget that most Hungarians were serfs. Scott Moore 09:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

When did the "Unio Trium Nationum" end?
I added a line into this article, which has now been removed, saying that the Unio Trium Nationum statute was maintained up until the end of World War I. I took this from an (admittedly, unreferenced) comment in the corresponding Romanian Wikipedia article: "Ei erau consideraţi doar o naţiune "tolerată", acest statut fiind menţinut până după primul război mondial". I am not Romanian or Hungarian, I am from Britain, and I would be happy to know more about this situation and, specifically, when the Unio Trium Nationum ceased to be in operation. Can anybody provide a reference? Frankieparley 08:48, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't tell you how long the union existed in legal terms. One year? 10 years? 100 years? I don't know. During the following centuries the three nations were often fighting against each other, too.
 * The term "three nations", however, survived for many centuries, basically meaning the privileged feudal estates invited by the actual King, Emperor, or the Prince of Transylvania, to participate in the Transylvanian Diet. After 1848, the abolishment of feudalism in Hungary and Transylvania, the term itself lost its meaning too. --KIDB 10:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 14 years later, the question still is essential and needs to be answered. Arminden (talk) 10:42, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Lead only deals with 15th century; UTN dominated the law of the land for another 400 years
Codified in 1438, fine, but until the feudal system of the 3 Estates was abolished (when? See paragraph above; the (retracted) Josephine reforms? The 1849 Revolution?), it dominated the law of the land. I guess the Hungarian, Saxon and Szekler Estates did change to some extent in 400 years or more of Reform, Ottoman occupation, Habsburg takeover and so forth. Thinking of the social changes in the towns & cities, if nothing else. New elites probably asked for the right of representation, or was the 1438 social structure so developed for its time, and the early 19th-century one as backward and stagnant, that nothing really needed to change?

"In this typical feudal estate parliament, the peasants (whether Hungarian, Saxon, Székely or Romanian in origin..." Again: probably sufficient for the 15th century, but what about the next 4 centuries? Other groups (Gypsies, Ruthenians & other Slavic groups, Jews, Armenians, Sathmar Swabians) aren't mentioned, but were present in large enough numbers.

"...the commoners were not considered to be members of these feudal "nations"." This was certainly the case with serfs, but what about free rural Saxons, who did have a voice at least within their own "nation"? Maybe a similar distinction has to be made for non-represented free Szekelys too? Arminden (talk) 11:03, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

These nations were not ethnic nations in modern terms. These were feudal nations of proprietary owner classes, the cenus of participants who can elect the envoys of the parliament based on their wealth / tax education. Nation in its medieval sense was a political category, group pf people/classes who were allowed to politically act in political forums like parliament, it had not direct ethnic sense of modern day nation term until the 18th century. See Natio Hungarica.

 * Slavs existed in Transylvania until the high medieval era.

 * Jews were not allowed to participate in political life in European countries (and Hungary) until the mid 19th century (1848 revolutions). In Kingdom of Romania and Russia, Jews were not allowed to partticipate in politics and in public administration, and they did not have citizenship in Kingdom of Romania until the interwar period or the Russian revolution in 1917. See in the history of Jews in Romania article.

 * The number of Gypsy people were really marginal/small before the appear of state social support systems until the communist era, after that their numbers quickly multiplied / skyrocketed. Gypsies were generally considered as pariahs in all European societies before the post WW2 era. They had mobile/nomadic lifestyle until the late 19th century. The worst situtaion was in Kingdom of Romania, where even Gypsy slavery and Gypsy slave markets existed until 1865 (like blacks before the American civil war).

 * With the exception of Austria, Western and Central European countries did not introduce the general suffrage before the end of WW1. So the suffrage rights at the parliamentary elections of European countries were restricted to wealthier social classes. The pre-ww1 era can be called as the "age of gentlemen's democracy"--Szudar (talk) 13:54, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Mason Locke Weems

quote in opening
The quote attributed to Weems in the opening paragraph of the article is bogus. Weems never wrote, "I cannot tell a lie..."Hilltoppers (talk) 14:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

original family name
The phonetic spelling of the name Weems and his unreferenced Scottish ancestry suggest that the original family name might have been Wemyss. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 21:15, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

 * That may be the case. My family is descended from Mason's brother James and I have done extensive genealogical research, in both the US and the UK. To the best of our knowledge, the American Weems family *is likely* descended from several siblings who immigrated to Maryland in the early 18th century, who belonged to the greater Wemyss family in Scotland. Sadly, there is no directly verifiable evidence to support this, other than inference and consistent family lore. Evansknight (talk) 14:11, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Recent edits adding a source.reference
In September and recently in October - here etc - a source/reference was added. I think we should have a discussion here about whether or not to include the Bish/Gardiner article & the self-published Bish book as a reference. I do have concerns about the website (liberty1(dot)org) & its publisher (Institute for American Liberty) that published the Bish/Gardiner article - both are complete unknowns. Also, Bish's book I Can't Tell A Lie: Parson Weems and the Truth about George Washington's Cherry Tree, Prayer at Valley Forge, and Other Anecdotes is self-published. Nothing against Bish or his possible bona-fides but was there an editor, is there any kind of internal review?...self-published so for me it's all an unknown if the book is a reliable source or not. Shearonink (talk) 16:12, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

 * I agree. I would like to know more about the authors and the scholarly process of their article, if it was peer-reviewed or published in a recognized journal. Evansknight (talk) 14:13, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

USS Pocahontas (YT-266)

USS Pocahontas (YT/YTB/YTM-266), was a type V2-ME-A1 harbor tug that entered service in the United States Navy in 1943, and was sold in 1976. She was the third ship to bear the name Pocahontas.

History
Pocahontas was laid down, under Maritime Commission contract, as Port Blakeley (MC hull 433) by Birchfield Boiler Incorporated, Tacoma, Washington on 27 October 1941. She was launched 2 May 1942, sponsored by Mrs. Alvin Davies.

Renamed Pocahontas (YT–266) on 4 July 1942, she was delivered to the Maritime Commission and transferred to the Navy on 31 December 1942; and placed in service, in the 11th Naval District, 16 March 1943.

Redesignated YTB–266, 15 May 1944, served the 11th Naval District, headquartered at San Diego, until after World War II. Between 1946 and 1955, she operated in the 12th Naval District, headquartered at San Francisco, then returned to the 11th Naval District. Redesignated YTM–266 in February 1962, she continued to provide tug and towing services to that district.

Pocahontas was sold to Crowley Maritime in 1972 and provided tug services until purchased by her present owners in 1997. She was sold for scrap at Sausalito, 25 February 2019.

Awards
USS Pocahontas earned the American Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal and the National Defense Service Medal for her service in the U.S. Navy.

Chart Positions & Certifications
If someone could help me with the citations that were needed to verify the information needed for the chart positions and certifications, because I am not exactly sure what to do. I found the information on http://www.billboard.com & http://www.riaa.com

Badly written sentence
Eve recently launched her own clothing line "fetish", which is doing really well. If this could be clarified (i.e. with sales figures), it would improve the article.

Music
The music section needs a lot of help, it's just very poorly written. One example is calling Eve's debut album an "unprecedented success" followed immediately by citing a president. Or saying that the second album had "really, really" bad reviews or something to that effect (including spelling mistakes). Maybe I'll do it if it get the time, but in the meantime, I think it would be nice if someone takes a crack at fixing this section up a little. Cris Godparent 23:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Girls Just Want to Have Fun
There needs to be clarification of the sentence claiming that "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" was a 1979 hit single for Cyndi Lauper. The song was originally written and recorded in 1979. Lauper covered the song in 1983, at which point it became a hit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.98.201.4 (talk) 06:23, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Just looking at how this article got to (entertainer) in the first place. The original title Eve (rapper) is better than (singer), "rapper Eve" = 338 results in Google Books while "singer Eve" = 10 or so, difficult to find them, "singer Eve" throws up lots of results but almost none related to the rapper, and "entertainer Eve" = 0.

Discussion about moves
removed template and restarted as per Jenks24
 * Comment. Remember from last time? These should be separate RMs, as they are separate subjects. Dohn joe (talk) 19:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * They're both "entertainers". In ictu oculi (talk) 21:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, but each one should be considered separately, especially when no evidence is presented for either. Please split them, as per Talk:Larry_Miller_(comedian). Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 22:32, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * So you can oppose twice on two RMs? No. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:19, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * This is not about me. I haven't looked at any evidence for either one yet, so I have no idea how I would !vote. This is about a fair RM process, where two completely unrelated people, who happen to have the same disambiguator, can be judged on their own merits. Again, this issue came up at Talk:Larry_Miller_(comedian), and you were told to unbundle this kind of multi-RM. I'm just requesting that you do so again. Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 11:53, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * That was different, I was asked, I agreed, that was a dozen bios. This is two. Some contrast is necessary to illustrate the problem. Now please stop badgering. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:56, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Might not be worth doing it now, but for future reference it would be better if RMs like this were done separately and not as a multi. Jenks24 (talk) 12:49, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Again, not in my view, it's not worth doing, under normal circumstance - without one editor badgering as above - it is completely reasonable to deal with 2 similar RMs together. However... In ictu oculi (talk) 15:54, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's badgering to ask that we follow previous consensus on this issue: Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(people)/Archive_8 specifically says these "(entertainer)" RMs "ought to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis through discussion". So, thanks for doing so below. Dohn joe (talk) 16:30, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I didn't say Jenks was badgering, I asked you to stop. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:53, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. The question is, what is the most appropriate disambiguator to use in the parenthesis. 'Entertainer' might be justified as a shorthand summary for use within Wikipedia, and we don't usually expect Google to reflect it much, but 'rapper' seems like an apt description which will be generally recognized. A majority of those responding here favor 'rapper'. Issues like this are bound to come up whenever a performer has more than one skill for which they are noted. We are not likely to put their entire resume in the parenthesis. The article was previously moved to Eve (entertainer) [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MovePage/Eve_%28rapper%29 back in 2009] but with no discussion. EdJohnston (talk) 20:21, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Eve (entertainer) → Eve (rapper) – Return to original title Eve (rapper) per "rapper Eve" = 338 results in Google Books while "singer Eve" = 10 or so, difficult to find them, "singer Eve" throws up lots of results but almost none related to the rapper, and "entertainer Eve" = 0. Note also the ambiguity of RM at Talk:India (entertainer). In ictu oculi (talk) 16:01, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(people)/Archive_8: "the use of the term entertainer should be restricted to cases where a subject's notability across different areas of entertainment is roughly the same." Eve is known roughly equally as a rapper and an actress. See:
 * actress eve jeffers = 2,600 Google Books results
 * rapper eve jeffers = 2,590 Google Books results.
 * People calls her a "rapper-actress." The Encyclopedia of African American Actresses in Film and Television calls her "rapper, singer, actress and fashion designer." She's gotten Grammy nominations for her music, and Image nominations for her acting. It really is roughly equal. Also consistent with Madonna (entertainer), Usher (entertainer), Rain (entertainer), et al. Thanks to nom for splitting the RM so we can consider each on its own merits. Dohn joe (talk) 16:23, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Actress returns zero using the "actress Eve" format in the nom. Please search using " " to delimit noise. Something like 15 previous (entertainer) RMs passed. Other RM regulars will probably know that Madonna (entertainer), Usher (entertainer) are disrupted titles were there have been a succession of attempts to put the former over the Virgin Mary and the second over the meaning of an usher, so there have never been RMs to remove the honorific "entertainer", and RMs that have never happened are no precedent. Yes, Rain was 2:2, but unlike Rain Google book sources for Eve aren't in Korean. That's all I intend to say on this RM. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:50, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Support per nominator; the proposed title is more concise and informative than the current arrangement. WikiRedactor (talk) 15:08, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Isn't actually less informative, as it ignores her acting career? At least "entertainer" lets us know that she is notable for more than one area of entertainment. Dohn joe (talk) 16:25, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Support. I get what Dohn joe is saying, but I think in the case of "entertainer" it's just such a vague description that it hinders more than it helps. If there were another single word descriptor that covered actress and rapper then I'd be interested in that, but as it is I think the best option in this case is to just choose the description that the subject is most notable for and in this case it looks like that's "rapper". Jenks24 (talk) 06:59, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Then why not "rapper-actress" like what People magazine calls her? Look at her discography and compare it to her filmography. She is really about equally notable for both. Dohn joe (talk) 14:08, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, "rapper-actress" would also be acceptable to me. Jenks24 (talk) 10:50, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Support per nom - She's more widely known as a rapper than a entertainer & IMHO it's misleading as is, – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  22:00, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per John doe. Eve was also an actress - frankly, she might be more known for that among significant portions of the populace than for being rapper or a singer. --IJBall (talk) 03:32, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Recent additions
I think most of the recent additions are good and balance out the article. The only addition I don't like is the Google Trends results - they are biased towards countries with good internet access and using them to make any conclusions violates Wikipedia's no original research] policy.

Please remove the album Tomas Turbando Pinto
First of all: forgive me for any error in my writing, I'm brazilian. Some days ago I removed the "album" Tomas Turbando Pinto from Richard's discography. I expected that a revisor, after seeing my edition, would do a simple research to verify that "Tomas..." it's not a Richard's album. But the worst part is Tomas Turbando Pinto is an example of something in Brazil we call "cacofonia" or "cacófato" (I think the word in English is "pun", but I'm not sure): in Portuguese the phrase ambiguously refers to masturbation. I did read plenty of years ago about some aspects of Wikipedia maintenance, so I have an idea that the better option to correct it (and other wrong things I see in my "rides" around Portuguese and English Wikipedia versions) is to create an account. But I tried once and my account was taken down due to inactivity, since I'm an occasional contributor. With this in mind, I prefer to keep it anonymously. It's sad to see Richard's name associated with this unfunny joke in so many sites, all of them thanks to this article, so please remove it from the page. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.1.255.231 (talk) 04:34, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Vendo

The Vendo Company is a large manufacturer of cold beverage vending machines. Since its founding in 1937, Vendo has come out with many innovations that now exist in nearly every beverage and snack vending machine in use today. In 2005, Vendo moved its headquarters to Dallas, Texas, and was renamed SandenVendo America, Inc.

History
Vendo was founded in 1937 in Kansas City, Missouri, by brothers Elmer F. and John T Pierson. With help from J.E. Hagstrom and purchased patent for a lid that could be attached to coolers, the brothers developed an innovative vending lid that was much more practical than any other one available at the time. Nicknamed "Red Top", this vending lid moved the opening to the bottle rather than the bottle to the opening and was the first of many innovations introduced by the Vendo company.

After the outbreak of World War II, some of the company's work force was dedicated to producing radar detection systems as well as various other electronic equipment for the military. As well as manufacturing military equipment, Vendo was authorized to produce and send 5,000 beverage vending units for military training camps and war plants to help raise morale. For its efforts, company earned seven Army-Navy ‘E’ Awards awards for "excellence in fulfilling government military contracts".

After the war, the Vendo company began expanding globally. By 1956, vending machines were being shipped internationally to 20 different countries. At the same time, Vendo began experimenting with new ideas. Vending machines that dispensed varieties of goods were manufactured and distributed and existing beverage vending machines were given a new, sleeker look. It was this time that the company began creating completely automated convenience stores and restaurants as well as drive-in refreshment stations. In 1956, Vendo merged with its primary rival, Vendorlator. It became a major supplier for the entire soft-drink industry and, for a brief period, the company went public. The company's expansion continued into the 1970s as the company expanded its international market and began manufacturing the world's first canned beverage dispensing machine.

The oil crisis of the 1970s struck a major blow to Vendo Co. Facing major financial losses, the company sold off all of its assets, keeping only its beverage machine distribution division. The site in Kansas City was abandoned and the company kept only the plants in Fresno, California and Corinth, Mississippi.

The company was revitalized in the 1980s when it was acquired by Sanden Corporation, a manufacturer of high-tech electronics. The company received both technological and financial support from its new parent company and once again began introducing innovations to the automated goods distribution market. By the end of the 1990s, Vendo had received patents on many new features for vending machines, such as increased capacity, accommodation for goods of many different shapes and sizes, and the ability to accept debit cards as a form of payment. The company began to expand again into the 2000s, moving its headquarters to Dallas, Texas and taking on the name "Sanden Vendo" to show its thanks and loyalty to the Sanden Corporation.

Along with Dixie-Narco, a rival company, Vendo is one of the main providers of vending machines for PepsiCo, particularly in the western United States. Vendo is also a major provider of vending machines for the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group and a secondary provider for The Coca-Cola Company.

Products
Although Vendo makes most of its profit from selling vending machines and vending machine parts, the company also sells display stands for both refrigerated and hot food as well as innovative vending machine parts, such as versatile delivery systems and payment systems that will accept credit cards or dispense bills.

From the point of view of a purely  lay person looking up the River Teme, I'm not  sure I would want to  be confronted by a debate, however rational and well sourced, on which  publications provide the most accurate reporting  of the navigability  of the river.--Kudpung (talk) 17:18, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * There has been no substantive contribution to this debate for about 2 years. It is possible that the present section is too long.  However, ultimately this is an old debate, and I would suggest that it be archived (with all or most discussions above this point.  It will be noted that various contributors querying the article were not logged in.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:05, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Kudpung although the navigation of the Teme, may not be of much interest to you, it may well be of interest to someone who looks at the Teme from a historical angle, as before the advent of steam water transport was important. For example the towns of Worcester and Hereford were both Royalist for most of the First Civil War. Because it was not navigable, the Teme's strategic use was primarily as an obstacle and its bridges were pulled down and fought over several times. If it had been navigable its strategic importance would have been imminence as it would have facilitated the movement of men and supplies from the Royalist rear areas to areas of conflict which existed in the southern Midlands. To such a reader the "Recreational use" will be of less interest, but that is no reason for removing it. While the section "Commercial navigation" may be more detailed than some other sections, as the article is not too large, over time the other sections will probably expand and when that happens the "Commercial navigation" will not look out of place.--PBS (talk) 11:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

 * The navigation section currently reads more like an academic argument than an encyclopaedia. I, too, am a complete novice when it comes to rivers and navigability, so I may be missing the point. PBS - your comment is interesting - I didn't get that information from the article. Maybe you could rewrite the section to read less like a blow-by-blow refutation of the evidence, but concisely explain the historical significance of the river's navigability?

 * To fully understand why the section is as it is, one has to go back to a revision as of 7 March 2006. Yes it is an academic argument, but the BBC and Wikipedia got drawn into it. It was necessary to present the information as it was, because there were a number of websites including a BBC one and Wikipedia, which presented the view that the Teme was navigable (See the talk archive for what happened to the the BBC page). There was an edit war over the issue, and the current section is the result of this, but if a search of Teme navigation is done then there are still a number of pages which reflect the old wording of this page (knowledgerush:River Teme, allexperts:River Teme) and is mentioned in other forum  "ACCESS HASSLES:  Canoeists say the Teme is an ancient navigation, and anglers seem to think it is their exclusive river, and get quite stroppy. So I only go in the closed season – March 15 – June 15.". See also this paper and this paper from The Royal Historical Society Bibliography. I think until there is agreement on this issue, we have to present the arguments in such a way as to give a balanced POV in the issue.
 * I would love to add a point on the Civil War and navigation, but I can not do so as I do not have a source that points out how useful it would have been to the Cavaliers have a navigable River Teme. I do have a source of how useful navigation on the River Severn was to the Roundheads, because that is recorded ... (sigh!) --PBS (talk) 11:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

I have heavily pruned the section. The present version of the text largely reflects my POV, as set out in Journal of Railway and Canal Historical Society. However, I believe that I have reliable sources, whereas the proponents of navigability have none (or at best exceptionally little). I hope that what I have done does not reopen a debate that was closed. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:34, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Length
A figure is given in the infobox for the length of the Teme (130km / 81 miles) but no source is given for that figure. Elsewhere in the article it is stated that it is the 16th longest river in the UK but the given references do not include the information to back up that assertion - there's no reference at the Longest rivers of the United Kingdom page either. Due to this uncertainty I have painstakingly measured its length on OS mapping and determined it at 134.3km / 83.5 miles - I'd be confident of the accuracy of the figure to within 0.5%. This is of course original research on my part so cannot be included in the article but it does at least give an idea of what a true figure should look like if and when an editor finds a suitable reference out there! cheers Geopersona (talk) 05:01, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Sources, even from official bodies, are conflicting. They range between 122-130-139 kilometres (the last of which may include a stretch of the Clun). Given that the river is liable to flood and cut across meanders, older records won't be trustworthy either. Sweetpool50 (talk) 15:05, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
