Citi Field

Citi Field is a baseball stadium located in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, in the borough of Queens, New York City, United States. Opening in 2009, Citi Field is the ballpark of Major League Baseball’s New York Mets. The stadium was built as a replacement for the adjacent Shea Stadium, which had opened in 1964.

Citi Field was designed by the company Populous. The $850 million baseball park was funded with $615 million in public subsidies, including the sale of New York City municipal bonds that are to be repaid by the Mets with interest. The payments will offset property taxes for the lifetime of the park.

The first game at Citi Field was on March 29, 2009, with a college baseball game between St. John's and Georgetown. The Mets played their first two games at the ballpark on April 3 and 4, 2009 against the Boston Red Sox as charity exhibition games. The first regular-season home game was played on April 13, 2009, against the San Diego Padres. Citi Field hosted the 2013 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, marking the second time the Mets have hosted the event (the first being in 1964, the inaugural season of Shea Stadium).

The naming rights were purchased by Citigroup, a New York financial services company, for $20 million annually.

Planning
Since the 1990s, the Mets were looking to replace Shea Stadium. It had originally been built as a multi-purpose stadium in 1964. While it had been retrofitted as a baseball-only stadium after the NFL's New York Jets left for Giants Stadium after the 1983 season, it was still not optimal for baseball, with seating located farther away from the playing field compared to other major league ballparks. The team unveiled a preliminary model of the ballpark in 1998; it featured a retractable roof and a movable grass field, which would have allowed it to host events including conventions and college basketball. The Mets also considered moving to Mitchel Field or Belmont Park in Nassau County, Long Island; Sunnyside Yard in Queens, or the West Side Yard in Manhattan.

In December 2001, shortly before leaving office, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani announced "tentative agreements" for both the Mets and the New York Yankees to build new stadiums. Of the $1.6 billion sought for the stadiums, city and state taxpayers would pick up half the tab for construction, $800 million, along with $390 million on extra transportation. The plan also said that the teams would be allowed to keep all parking revenues, which state officials had already said they wanted to keep to compensate the state for building new garages for the teams. The teams would keep 96% of ticket revenues and 100% of all other revenues, not pay sales tax or property tax on the stadium, and would get low-cost electricity from New York state. Business officials criticized the plan as giving too much money to successful teams with little reason to move to a different city.

Michael Bloomberg, who succeeded Giuliani as mayor, exercised the escape clause in the agreements to back out of both deals, saying that the city could not afford to build new stadiums for the Mets and Yankees. Bloomberg said that, unbeknownst to him, Giuliani had inserted a clause in this deal that loosened the teams' leases with the city and would allow the Mets and Yankees to leave the city on 60 days notice to find a new home elsewhere if the city backed out of the agreement. At the time, Bloomberg said that publicly funded stadiums were a poor investment. Under Bloomberg, the New York City government would only offer public financing for infrastructure improvements; the teams would have to pay for the stadiums themselves. Bloomberg called the former mayor's agreements "corporate welfare." Giuliani had already been instrumental in the construction of taxpayer-funded minor league baseball facilities MCU Park for the Mets' minor league Brooklyn Cyclones and Richmond County Bank Ballpark for the Staten Island Yankees.

The final plans for what is now Citi Field were created as part of the unsuccessful New York City 2012 Olympic bid. After plans for a West Side Stadium fell through, New York looked for an alternate stadium to host the opening and closing ceremonies and track and field. The Olympic Stadium project on the West Side was estimated to cost $2.2 billion, with $300 million provided by New York City and an additional $300 million from New York State. If New York had won the bid, Citi Field would have been expanded to Olympic events while the Mets would have played at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx for the 2012 season. By then, however, the failure of the West Side Stadium proposal had effectively ended New York's chances of winning the 2012 games.

Construction
The projected cost of the new ballpark and other infrastructure improvements was $610 million, with the Mets picking up $420 million of that amount. The agreement included a 40-year lease that would keep the Mets in New York until 2049. The Mets own the stadium through a wholly owned subsidiary, Queens Ballpark Company.

On March 18, 2006, the New York Mets unveiled the official model for the new ballpark. By July 2006, initial construction of the new park was underway in the parking lot beyond Shea Stadium's left-field, with a projected finish of late March ahead of Opening Day 2009.

By April 13, 2008, all of the structure for the Jackie Robinson Rotunda was in place with the arched windows receiving their paneling and glass. By September 2008, most of the Citi Field signage had been installed. By December 1, 2008, all of the seats and the playing field had been installed.

Modifications
During the 2010 off-season, the bullpen area in right-center field underwent a complete renovation. When the edifice opened in time for the start of the 2009 MLB season, the Mets' bullpen was in front of the visiting bullpen, leading to an obstructed view of the field from the visiting bullpen, which the San Diego Padres complained about during the Mets' first regular-season home series. The bullpens were turned 90°, with pitchers throwing toward the field instead of parallel to it. More Mets team colors, player banners and logos were also added throughout the ballpark, including revamping the "Let's Go Mets" slogan on the Citi Vision board so that the word "Mets" appears in its traditional script instead of the same font as the rest of the slogan. Additionally, the height of the home run boundary line directly in front of the Home Run Apple in center field was reduced from 16 ft to 8 ft in an attempt to produce more home runs.

During its first three seasons, the large field dimensions caused Citi Field to play as an extreme "pitcher's park", and home-runs at the stadium were among the fewest in the Major Leagues. Mets' general manager Sandy Alderson changed Citi Field's dimensions in time for the 2012 MLB season in order to make it more friendly to hitters. Changes included building an 8 ft wall in front of the high 16 ft wall in left field that many had dubbed the "Great Wall of Flushing", removing the nook in the "Mo's Zone" in right field, and reducing the distance in right center field from 415 ft from home plate to 390 ft. The new walls are colored blue in order to address fan complaints that the old black walls with orange trims did not reflect the colors of the Mets. The Mets have also created a new seating section located in between the old and new left field walls called the Party City Party Deck, renamed the M&M's Sweet Seats in 2016 after change of sponsorship, and can accommodate 102 additional fans.

The center and right-center outfield wall were brought in to 380 ft for the 2015 season.

On March 21, 2019, the Mets announced on Twitter that Citi Field's permanent address would be changed to 41 Seaver Way, in honor of former Mets Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver whose number was 41. The ceremony was held on June 27, 2019, and was part of the weekend set aside for celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1969 World Series champion Mets.

In 2023, the right field fence was moved in 8 ft, removing the nook and creating a new fan experience, and the scoreboard in center field was replaced with a new one measuring 17,400 sqft, the largest in any MLB ballpark.

Features
Citi Field has a capacity of 41,922. It has over 15,000 fewer seats than Shea Stadium. All the seats in the park are green – in an homage to the Polo Grounds, longtime home of the baseball Giants and the original home of the Mets – as opposed to Shea's orange, blue, red and green assortment. The exterior facade is reminiscent of Ebbets Field (which was long sought by then-Mets owner Fred Wilpon, a Brooklyn native).

Citi Field's interior design is primarily influenced by the Pittsburgh Pirates' PNC Park, which was the favorite ballpark of Mets COO Jeff Wilpon. Other influences include Great American Ball Park, Coors Field, and Citizens Bank Park. Citi Field is the only ballpark in Major League Baseball to feature orange foul poles instead of the standard yellow, a unique characteristic that was carried over from Shea Stadium.

Citi Field features an overarching bridge motif in its architecture, as New York City is linked by 2,027 bridges and is reflected in the Mets logo, as the team is the symbolic bridge to the city's past National League teams, the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers. In the outfield section of the ballpark, there is a pedestrian bridge named Shea Bridge that resembles the Hell Gate Bridge.

Similar to Shea Stadium, Citi Field's field dimensions ensure it is a pitcher-friendly park. The Coca-Cola Corner, originally known as the Pepsi Porch, hangs over the field in right field, extending far beyond the indentation of the Clubhouse and is inspired by Tiger Stadium's right field porch. The Pepsi sign that sat atop the area (2009–2015) was modeled after the one alongside the East River in Gantry Plaza State Park; it was replaced by Coca-Cola's logo in 2016 upon assuming the role of a Mets sponsor.

In 2012, the Mets added the Party City Party Deck in left field because they moved the fences in. The Party Deck is very similar to The Royals' Pepsi Party Porch.

Delta Air Lines signed a multiyear deal on September 15, 2008, to sponsor an exclusive section in Citi Field. The Delta Sky360 Club is a 22500 sqft restaurant-cafe-bar-lounge complex that also houses 1,600 premium seats behind home plate stretching from dugout to dugout.

Jackie Robinson Rotunda
The front entrance of Citi Field features a rotunda named after Brooklyn Dodgers legend Jackie Robinson and honors his life and accomplishments. Engraved into the rotunda's 160 ft floor and etched into the archways are words and larger-than-life images that defined Robinson's nine values: Courage, Excellence, Persistence, Justice, Teamwork, Commitment, Citizenship, Determination and Integrity.

Robinson's famous quote: "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives" is engraved into the upper ring of the rotunda. There is also an 8 ft sculpture of Robinson's number 42. The formal dedication of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda was held as part of Major League Baseball's official celebration of Jackie Robinson Day on April 15, 2009.

Home Run Apple
Another tradition from Shea Stadium carried over into Citi Field is the Home Run Apple. When a Mets player hits a home run, a giant apple, which has a Mets logo on the front that lights up, rises from its housing in the center field batter's eye. The new apple that was constructed for Citi Field is more than four times the size of the previous one and was designed by Minneapolis-based engineering firm Uni-Systems.

During the 2009 season, the original Shea apple was located in Bullpen Plaza, just inside the Bullpen Gate entrance. In 2010, it was relocated outside the ballpark in Mets Plaza to the area between the Jackie Robinson Rotunda and the entrance to the Mets–Willets Point subway station.

Tom Seaver statue
On April 15, 2022, at their season home opener, the Mets unveiled a statue of Tom Seaver, created by sculptor William Behrends. It is located in Mets Plaza, next to the Shea Stadium Home Run Apple.

Amenities and facilities
Behind the center field scoreboard is the FanFest area, an expanded family entertainment area that includes a miniature wiffleball field replica of Citi Field called Mr. Met's Kiddie Field, a batting cage, a dunk tank, video game kiosks and other attractions.

Citi Field offers a wide choice of eateries. Taste of the City is a food court located in the center field section of the ballpark. It features food from restaurateur Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group and includes a variety of stands, including Shake Shack (burgers, fries, shakes), Blue Smoke (barbecue), El Verano Taqueria (Mexican cuisine), Catch of the Day (featuring seafood from chef Dave Pasternack of Esca), and Box Frites (Belgian French fries); the Shake Shack stand also has the New York skyline replica that topped the old scoreboard at Shea Stadium above it. The World's Fare Market is located on the field level in right field and features sushi from Daruma of Tokyo, sandwiches and pastries from Mama's of Corona, Chinese cuisine from Tai Pan Bakery and Korean food from Café Hanover. Citi Field also offers a choice of fresh fruit at several stands around the stadium.

In 2010 Citi Field upgraded the food choices on the Promenade Level behind home plate. Blue Smoke BBQ and Box Frites both open a second location.

Restaurants and clubs are also available in every level of the ballpark. The 350-seat Acela Club (now Porsche Grill) located in left field on the Excelsior Level, is the dining highlight of the new park and features a full view of the playing field as well as food from Drew Nieporent's Myriad Restaurant Group, renowned for Nobu and Tribeca Grill. Admission into the high-end luxury Porsche Grill and Delta Sky360 Club, and including the other semi-luxury clubs are exclusive to high-end ticket holders only, and some restaurants enforce that reservations be made. A McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon opened at Citi Field in 2010. It is located directly under the Good Humor FanFest and is open to the public year-round.

Mets Hall of Fame & Museum
The Mets Hall of Fame & Museum is located adjacent to the Jackie Robinson Rotunda on the first base side and opened on April 5, 2010. The museum includes plaques honoring the inductees of the New York Mets Hall of Fame, the team's World Series trophies from and, as well as artifacts on loan from noted collectors, former players and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The museum boasts several displays including autographed memorabilia, original scouting reports on players such as Darryl Strawberry, and handwritten notes from the team's first manager Casey Stengel. In addition to this the team has installed interactive touchscreens, television screens, and timelines that guide visitors through various aspects of the franchise's history.

Public opinion

Business Insider praised the stadium for its aesthetics and named it one of the top 100 venues in sports, while BaseballParks.com called it "perfect" and especially lauded the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. Reviewers also praised the many culinary offerings at Citi Field's concession stands.

Despite the modern amenities, the new Citi Field was not without criticism. Fans complained of obstructed views and an overemphasis on the celebration of the Brooklyn Dodgers' legacy over the history of the Mets. Mets owner Fred Wilpon, a Brooklyn native, had grown up a Brooklyn Dodgers fan and admitted to going overboard. Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin wrote in The New Yorker, When Citi Field opened, the Brooklyn focus drew some criticism. After all, the Dodgers left Brooklyn in 1957, and Ebbets Field was demolished shortly thereafter. Only the very oldest fans have any first-hand memory of the place. The Mets, who had been in existence for almost a half century, were virtually ignored in their own home. 'All the Dodger stuff—that was an error of judgment on my part,' Wilpon told me.

In response to these criticisms, the team installed photographic imagery of famous players and historic moments in Mets history on the Field and Promenade levels as well as the display of team championship banners on the left-field wall during the 2009 season. They also constructed a Mets Hall of Fame and Museum prior to the 2010 season, located adjacent to the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, and changed the color of the outfield wall from black to Mets blue prior to the 2012 season, which many Mets fans had campaigned for. The team also worked on fixing the obstructed views in the Promenade level.

During its first three seasons in existence, Citi Field played as an extreme "pitcher's park", and was cited as the cause of the decreased offensive production of David Wright and Jason Bay. Wright hit only 10 home runs in 2009 after hitting 30 or more in each of the previous two seasons, while Bay had the worst offensive production of his career in his first season with the Mets in 2010, hitting only 6 home runs, with an on-base percentage of just .347, and a career low .402 slugging percentage. Jeff Francoeur, who played with the Mets during their first two years at Citi Field, criticized the ballpark's dimensions, calling it "a damn joke." During the 2011 season, Citi Field allowed 1.33 home runs per game, the third lowest total out of the 16 National League ballparks. The team responded by altering the ballpark dimensions for the 2012 season, creating a much more neutral ballpark. Wright's 2012 offensive numbers improved due to the alterations. "It's a huge difference", Wright said. "It allows you to relax and know you don't have to try to hit the ball a mile to see results. And at the same time, if you do hit the ball well and you see results, instead of a 400 ft flyout, you're 1-for-1 and feeling good about yourself."

Access and transportation
Citi Field is located in the borough of Queens, adjacent to the neighborhoods of Corona, which lies to its west, and Willets Point and Flushing to the east. Flushing Bay is to the north, and the rest of Flushing Meadows–Corona Park is to the south. Because it lies within the Flushing postal zone, and because of its location in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Citi Field is frequently referred to as being in Flushing proper.

Citi Field is accessible via the New York City Subway via the IRT Flushing Line at the Mets–Willets Point station, the Q48 bus, and the Long Island Rail Road station on the Port Washington Branch, also called Mets–Willets Point. The park is also close to several major thoroughfares, including the Grand Central Parkway, the Whitestone and Van Wyck Expressways, the Long Island Expressway, Roosevelt Avenue, Northern Boulevard and Astoria Boulevard.

Park and rides
Since the construction of Citi Field began, satellite parking lots in Flushing Meadow Park (access from College Point Boulevard) have been opened. Some of these have been designated as park and rides, used by commuters connecting to the trains and the,  and  buses.

In 2020, Columbia Transportation started a commuter service, the to the Southfield Parking Lot, mainly for commuters from Queens to go to before boarding the bus to Columbia. This service was discontinued in December 2021.

Naming rights
On November 13, 2006, it was announced that the ballpark would be called Citi Field, named for Citigroup Inc. Citigroup will be paying $20 million a year for the naming rights to the park over the next 20 years. This made Citi Field the second major league sports venue in the New York metropolitan area and the first in the city itself to be named for a corporate sponsor. At the time, the Meadowlands Arena in New Jersey's Meadowlands Sports Complex had carried the Continental Airlines name. The deal includes an option on both sides to extend the contract to 40 years, and is the most expensive sports-stadium naming rights agreement ever, subsequently equaled by MetLife Stadium's $400 million deal.

At the groundbreaking for Citi Field, it was announced that the main entrance, modeled on the one in Brooklyn's old Ebbets Field, would be called the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, possibly due to campaigns to forgo naming rights revenue and name the ballpark after Robinson. The Mets are spending more than $600 million for the new ballpark, which New York City and New York state are also supporting with a total of $165 million for such costs as infrastructure and site preparation. On February 24, 2008, the Mets and Citigroup unveiled the new Citi Field logo.

Controversy
The Citigroup naming rights deal, the most lucrative in history to that point, was criticized during the late-2000s financial crisis amid $45 billion of taxpayer funds loaned to Citigroup by the U.S. federal government in two rescue packages. Congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland, who served on the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, stated in regards to the Citi Field naming rights deal, "This type of spending is indefensible and unacceptable to Citigroup's new partner and largest investor: the American taxpayer.... I strongly urge Citigroup to find a way out of this contract and instead spend that $400 million on retaining its employees and restoring confidence in its operations." The Wall Street Journal reported on February 3, 2009, that Citigroup considered breaking the naming rights deal. Instead, Citi stated that no government TARP funds would be used in the sponsorship deal. The naming rights controversy reemerged in a New York Times opinion piece when details about owner Fred Wilpon's involvement in Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme came to light and a lawsuit was filed on behalf of victims of Madoff's investment scandal in 2011. Citigroup paid back the loan in full, with interest, by 2014.

Notable baseball games

 * April 13, 2009 – In the first Mets game ever played at Citi Field, Jody Gerut of the San Diego Padres hit a home run off Mike Pelfrey as the first batter of the game, becoming the first player in Major League Baseball history to open a ballpark with a leadoff home run.

Billed as the "Titans of the Caribbean" series, the Águilas swept the inaugural season in three games. With a total audience of 90,900 from the three games, it also became one of the highest attended LIDOM matches ever recorded.

Soccer matches
Citi Field has hosted international soccer friendlies since shortly after it opened. It was a host venue for the 2011 World Football Challenge.

New York City FC played Major League Soccer matches at Citi Field in 2017 and 2019, when conflicts with the Yankees' schedule caused their regular home Yankee Stadium to be unavailable. Beginning with the 2022 season, NYCFC has used Citi Field as a part-time home field, hosting nearly half their home matches. The club plans to build its own soccer-specific stadium directly across the street from the ballpark, to open in 2027.

Other sports events

 * The inaugural Metropolitan Lacrosse Classic was played at Citi Field on March 17, 2013, only the second time a major-league baseball stadium has staged college lacrosse, according to the Mets. In 1971, Navy played Johns Hopkins at the Houston Astrodome. Holy Cross played Navy at noon, followed by Colgate-Michigan at 3 p.m. Holy Cross defeated Navy 7–5 and Colgate defeated Michigan 10–7, before a crowd of 15,656.

Mets Concert Series post-game concerts (2012–2016)
Between 2012 and 2016, the Mets had a post-game concert series entitled "Mets Concert Series" after selected games. Unlike the concerts where the performance was the sole attraction of the evening, "Mets Concert Series" events were considered promotional dates, and admission to the concert was included in the price of the game ticket. The stage was set up in shallow center field.

COVID-19 pandemic
On January 12, 2021, the Mets and the Mayor Bill De Blasio announced that Citi Field would become a mass vaccination center during the COVID-19 pandemic beginning on January 25. Originally located in the Delta Club, the location was later moved to the former site of McFadden's. Run by the city's public hospital system, the site administered over 200,000 vaccinations.

Expansion request
I started the article but I think there is much more to be said on this topic. I don't consider what was used to create this a stub, so this request is for more information to improve the completness and accuracy of this article. Vegaswikian 19:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A dam?
How is a flow control structure any different than a dam? Is it because the FCS can direct the flow of water? Why aren't the two synonymous(sp)?--Xlegiofalco 02:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

 * There are many type of these. A dam would be one since it controls the flow by impounding water.  There are weirs and flood channels and many other devices of this type.  I believe these are mostly for devices that actually control or limit the flow of water.  The article needs a good expading.  If you search google you get 15,600 hits.  Some of those relate to programming, but the rest about about water control structures.  Vegaswikian 05:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Georg von der Marwitz

Georg Cornelius Adalbert von der Marwitz (7 July 1856 – 27 October 1929) was a Prussian cavalry general, who commanded several Imperial German armies during the First World War on both the Eastern and Western fronts.

Early military career
Marwitz was born in Stolp (Słupsk) in the Province of Pomerania and entered the Prussian Army in 1875. In 1881 he married Helene von Kameke, daughter of Prussian War Minister Georg von Kameke, with whom he had five children. From 1883 to 1886 he attended the Prussian Military Academy. Until 1900 he commanded a cavalry regiment, at which point he became chief of staff of XVIII Corps. Before the outbreak of the First World War he was the Inspector-General of Cavalry.

World War I
Marwitz was assigned to the Western Front in 1914 as commander of II Cavalry Corps, and participated in the Battle of Haelen. After this first battle Marwitz was transferred to the Eastern Front to take command of the newly formed XXXVIII Reserve Corps, which he led in the Second Battle of the Masurian Lakes in the early winter of 1915. He was then transferred south and fought with Austria-Hungary against the Russians and was awarded the Pour le Mérite on 7 March 1915.

After recovering from an illness in the fall of 1915, Marwitz served on the Western Front as the commander of the VI Corps, before returning to the Eastern Front until the successful halting of the Russian Brusilov Offensive in June 1916. On 6 October 1916 he became adjutant to Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Command of the Second Army
In December 1916, Marwitz – a highly experienced and well-known officer, who sported a noticeable white moustache – was transferred from his post with the Kaiser, to take command of the Second Army on the Western Front. At that time, the German Army formed along the Siegfried-Stellung line, to Havrincourt Wood to la Vacquerie; a mile behind was the Hindenberg Support line. In front lay a strongly fortified line of trenches. Behind the Support Line was yet another system called the Beaurevoir-Masnieres-Marcoing Line. Each system was built with deep concrete bunkers, massed machine guns in cover, and as much as 50 yards of barbed wire in front. The planned Wotan Line to Cambrai, where Marwitz's Second Army was situated, was never completed. General Marwitz's command was four infantry divisions. For most of 1917, following instructions from his superior, Generalfeldmarschal Crown Prince Rupprecht, Marwitz kept his units busy with patrols and collecting intelligence, especially taking prisoners during trench raids on the British lines.

On 18 November 1917, Marwitz reported that troop dispositions unchanged. Despite statements by prisoners, the presence of camouflaged tanks, and air reconnaissance revealing a build-up in the rear, Marwitz concluded that an attack was unlikely. As a result, Marwitz was still in bed at the le Cateau HQ when he first heard of the British tank offensive toward Bourlon Ridge, which they had identified as a vital strategic target. The surprise was disabling to his infantry, exacerbated by cut communication lines. The Crown Prince, in command of Northern Group, informed Berlin. Marwitz was forced to contemplate total withdrawal. The morning of 21 November, Fontaine had already fallen, but the Second Army knew the allied strength and its dispositions. They ordered up Reserves, the 214th, 119th and 3rd Guards Divisions, all from the north Aisne and Flanders. Rupprecht ordered even more to support Marwitz's position. The Battle of Cambrai ensued, which saw the most extensive use of tanks to date, more than twice the previous number in one engagement, as well as new combined arms tactics. As the British had not adequately prepared for the strength of German defenses, on the morning of 26 November 1917, Rupprecht and Marwitz planned at le Cateau the first counteroffensive against the British since April 1915. The following afternoon, they were joined by Lieutenant-General von Kuhl, Group Chief of Staff, at a special conference of all Group commanders. Marwitz, who was under pressure from Ludendorff, remained silent, subdued, still reeling and shocked by the unconventional speed of the Allied attack. Marwitz's stormtroops destroyed many hundreds of tanks, but the allies had thousands of them. However, by the end of the month, the attack had petered out, and the tanks went into winter quarters. Marwitz and staff immediately determined to proceed with a counter-attack, and they did their best to recover enemy machines. A severe blizzard finally halted the fighting on 7 December. Of 50,000 German casualties, over 10,000 were taken prisoner, many due to ammunition shortages (reported to be prevalent since 1 December).

During the massive German offensive of Operation Michael, in March-April 1918, Second Army achieved the most significant advances, breaking through at the point in the line where French and British sectors met. However, these successes were halted at Villers-Bretonneux, where two understrength and hastily-deployed Australian infantry brigades stepped into the gaps between British divisions.

Over the months following, facing British III Corps, Marwitz's Second Army held a vital part of the line for the Germans from the town of Albert to Hargicourt, his command opposed both French and British divisions, was composed of three corps and 14 divisions. However, Second Army, despite its paper strength, had serious manpower shortages. Its weakness lay in the fact that half the troops were recent recruits and of diminishing quality, following the reduction of previous minimum physical requirements. The sector was not as physically well defended as outsiders might have expected. Many positions did not possess deeply dug trenches. Communications trenches were under virtually permanent bombardment.

By 9 August, his commanders advised retreat behind the line of the River Somme. Crown Prince Rupprecht warned only a complete retreat to reform in a stronger position alongside Ninth Army would suffice; but Ludendorff turned down flat any idea of it; the line was to be held at all costs. The Second Army's defeat on 11 August 1918 was attributed to the allied tanks. But OHL blamed Marwitz, and shifted the burden onto his chief of staff, Major-General Erich von Tschischwitz. Marwitz's command was subjected to a reorganization with 18th and 9th Armies. The High Command threw every reserve into the Hindenburg Line. But units like the 2nd Guards Reserve Division and 4th Bavarian Division had long been in the line without relief; desperately tired, hungry, and needing 2,800 reinforcements to form a full complement. Desertion had become epidemic; the equivalent of three battalions had melted away. Marwitz told his diary the attrition was taking its toll, on morale and efficiency. On 24 August, Marwitz decorated one officer who had destroyed 14 tanks. But otherwise, tanks created panic and chaos in the German ranks; front-line troops who bound grenades together as makeshift anti-tank bombs and rifles were abandoned for heavy machine-guns, leaving artillery unprotected in the rearguard. On 26 August, Marwitz summarised his complaints, the men had endured "unspeakably hard conditions for such a terribly long time". The rail connections had not been made, disrupted by allied bombing. Air attacks were a problem for Marwitz Second Army: he was a victim himself by an "army of fliers", his staff stood with the men; one dud bomb penetrating Staff HQ. Marwitz saw the suffering at first hand for himself. On one day alone 120 bombs fell on Cambrai occupied by Second Army.

Meanwhile, the Allies had been planning massive operations to encircle Second Army from north and south, and outflank the town of Montdidier in an elaborate pincer movement. While the Allies prepared for everything, Marwitz left much to chance, knowing his forces were over-stretched. One of the strongest positions held by the German forces was the village of Peronne: surrounded by marshes, Marwitz had ordered the destruction of all bridges in the sector. The Australian Corps, headed by General Sir John Monash arrived on 26 August 1918, to prepare an assault over open ground that would normally have been extremely risky and vulnerable to German defensive fire and counterattacks. The Australians' attack on Mont Saint-Quentin and Peronne began at 05:00 on 30 August, with initial advances towards the heavily defended and elevated town of Mont Saint Quentin. Elite German units in advanced trenches defended the pock-marked trenches. The Kaiser Alexander Regiment held the hilltop with 600 men each in three battalions. A battalion of Australian veterans pushed the Germans out. The Germans had occupied the area since 1916, and Marwitz felt the defeat badly; it was a big dent to morale. The Germans had fought hard, but the previous attrition and deterioration in numbers and collective experience had taken their toll.

Command of Fifth Army
On 22 September 1918, Marwitz was transferred to command Fifth Army, consisting of nine divisions. He attempted to instill discipline in troops fleeing before allied tanks, "its just the fear of those things and not their actual effect", he wrote in his diary entry of 29 September. All along the Meuse-Argonne Front the Franco-American forces made progress north, supported by tanks; the Germans tried to reply with artillery and machine-gun fire proving stiff resistance.

On 3 October during the Argonne Offensive, Marwitz drove out to meet forward observation posts. His troops occupied the high ground. The US 1st Army faced an uphill climb from the plain into an area covered by woods, in which "are built-in machine guns, individual guns, mortars, surveillance posts..." concealing German troops. American artillery was ineffective. Although despondent, the Germans held their ground. US operations commenced at 5.30 am on 5 October from the east bank of the Meuse, but almost immediately they stalled in dark fog. The tactics had changed, the Germans were cheered by Group, but rumours of a possible peace sapped their morale.

By 1 November there were barely seven exhausted divisions on an 18 km front at Barricourt Heights. Marwitz's manoeuvrability was further hampered by shelled out roads and collapsed communications lines cutting off his HQ from front line commanders. Marwitz was in favour of withdrawing Fifth Army behind the relatively safety of the east bank of the Meuse, to re-group and get some rest, but OHL refused, sending strict orders to stand and fight. On 2 November, the Americans soon punched through the German positions, and Marwitz's centre line broke. General Hunter Liggett interpreted this as a weakness that had anticipated an attack on their right flank, but when it came in caused the line to collapse in depth. The capture of Barricount signalled a general rout. Marwitz issued an order that the Second Army must fight on, "The Fatherland Forever". Despite his unrealistic order, the armies began to disintegrate, at less than half battalions' fighting strength.

On 10 November, Marwitz left his post on the Meuse and called in to see Gallwitz. He demanded an armistice; the loss of Barricourt Heights, he told the Chief, had been the end. The French had reached Sedan on 6–7 November, and retreating Germans had left behind considerable quantities of equipment.

Postwar
After the war, Marwitz withdrew from public life. He died at Wundichow in 1929 at the age of 73.

Waterloo Village, New Jersey

Waterloo Village is a restored 19th-century canal town in Byram Township, Sussex County (west of Stanhope) in northwestern New Jersey, United States. The community was approximately the half-way point in the roughly 102 mi trip along the Morris Canal, which ran from Jersey City (across the Hudson River from Manhattan, New York) to Phillipsburg, New Jersey, (across the Delaware River from Easton, Pennsylvania). Waterloo possessed all the accommodations necessary to service the needs of a canal operation, including an inn, a general store, a church, a blacksmith shop (to service the mules on the canal), and a watermill. For canal workers, Waterloo's geographic location would have been conducive to being an overnight stopover point on the two-day trip between Phillipsburg and Jersey City.

It is currently an open-air museum in Allamuchy Mountain State Park. As part of the State Park, it is open to the public from sunrise to sunset. The village was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1977.

Canal and railroad eras
Opened in 1831, the Morris Canal's traffic volume, which was primarily anthracite coal from Pennsylvania, peaked during the late 1860s, shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Up until that time, the local railroads — the Lackawanna Railroad's Sussex Branch and Morris and Essex Railroad — had only supplemented the canal's operation, rather than competing with it. Both railroads ran within a short distance of the village. After the War, the canal's traffic began to quickly shift over to the much faster and more reliable railroad. It was expected that during most winters the canal would be frozen solid, and thus impassable during the time when its chief commodity was in greatest demand.

As a result, the canal underwent a steady decline, and so did Waterloo Village. Although the canal was not officially abandoned until 1924, rarely did more than one boat a year (to fulfill the conditions of the canal's charter) run through the canal after 1900. By the time of the Great Depression, Waterloo Village had been abandoned by its original owners.

Unheralded saviors
The village's location, within a short distance of the Lackawanna Railroad (which had to overcome a steep eastbound grade towards New York near Waterloo, slowing freight trains to a crawl as they labored up the hill to Netcong), made it easy for hobos to jump on and off boxcars.

The hobos, as it turned out, found Waterloo and adopted it as a stopping off point on their cross-country journey towards New York. This new purpose for the village wasn't all that different from its original purpose a century earlier. The hobos protected Waterloo Village by occupying it throughout the 1930s and '40s. The original Waterloo railroad station was moved from the station site during the 1940s and became a private residence on U.S. Route 206 in Mount Olive Township, New Jersey.

Rebirth
Percival 'Percy' Leach established the not-for-profit Waterloo Foundation for the Arts to finance the restoration of the village in 1967. Leach and his partner in the interior design business Lou Gualandi turned it into a living history tourist attraction with working blacksmiths, potters, candle dippers and weavers demonstrated crafts from the colonial historic eras.

The village would eventually become part of New Jersey's Allamuchy Mountain State Park.

Admissions fees being never enough to cover the administrative costs of the attraction, the partners sought out corporate and state grants, but ultimately opened an open-air concert field on the property in 1977 to raise funds.

Notable acts who have performed at Waterloo include Muddy Waters, Johnny Cash, the Beach Boys, Steppenwolf, the Allman Brothers, America, Arlo Guthrie, Phish, Chicago, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Indigo Girls, Edie Brickell, Melissa Etheridge, Joe Cocker, The Moody Blues, Blues Traveler, Ray Charles, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Blue Öyster Cult and three Lollapalooza tours. In addition to pop and rock concerts, Waterloo has also hosted craft shows, ethnic festivals, conventions, Metropolitan Opera, jazz, classical music and the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival.

Controversy, downfall, and closure
Following Gualandi's death in 1988, Leach became involved in several controversies that brought greater scrutiny upon the Waterloo Foundation for the Arts. The most controversial was the so-called "land swap" that allowed BASF corporation to build a large corporate headquarters on land that had once been part of Allamuchy Mountain State Park. The Waterloo board of directors subsequently brought in a new management team and throughout the mid-to-late 1990s tried to rebuild trust in the running of the village.

In 1995, a concert-goer died at a Phish concert that had attracted 30,000 people even though only 18,000 tickets were sold. Events like this had completely overwhelmed the area's limited access roads and caused considerable friction with the surrounding towns. The foundation began downsizing the concerts around this time. In the period from 2003 to 2006, the Waterloo Foundation for the Arts had received $900,000 from the State of New Jersey for general expenses, along with more than $300,000 since 2000 to cover repairs. As the state showed increasing displeasure with the village's operation, the $250,000 the group had expected to receive, which would have been used towards the $2 million operating budget for the site, was cut from the 2007 state budget. Waterloo Village was shut down in December 2006, except for the privately owned Waterloo United Methodist Church, which has a small but dedicated congregation and continues to operate as it has for over 150 years. In the period beginning in 2006, the Village was only open intermittently.

Percy Leach died in 2007 leaving the organization's future uncertain.

Reopening
Since the closing, several organizations have continued to restore aspects of the village. Friends of Waterloo and the Canal Society focused on Canal Town while a non profit called Winakung at Waterloo Inc. focused on the sustainability of the Lenape Indian Village.

Through a concession agreement with the NJDEP Division of Parks and Forestry in 2014, group tours and programs became available at the village by reservation. Winakung at Waterloo Inc. educational programs meet core curriculum standards and are ideal for school trips, scout groups, and summer camp field trips. Winakung at Waterloo Inc. also offers year-round outreach programs for schools, libraries, historical societies, Clean Communities, and more.

In the spring of 2014, a 10-year lease (with the option of 10 more) was awarded to Jeffrey Miller Catering (JAM Catering) out of Philadelphia, making them the exclusive caterer for Waterloo Village. JAM has renovated the Meeting House and Pavilion.

Beginning May 2014, the SMS Italian Festival, an annual Non-Profit event supporting the children of St Michael School, began at the village.

In May 2017, the stage was demolished to prepare for future festivals and make way for a new stage to be built on the grounds.

United Methodist Church
The cornerstone for the Waterloo Village United Methodist Church was set on August 9, 1859, and the church was dedicated on February 9, 1860. General John Smith was the first to be buried in the churchyard cemetery.

Talk:List of lieutenant governors of Quebec

[Untitled]
I suspect that this list may be messed up. I think it is confusing Governors and Lieutenant Governors. For instance Francis Nathaniel Burton was, according to his DoCB entry, LG of Lower Canada from 1808 until his death in 1832, while George Ramsay was in fact Governor during the period when he is listed here as being the Lieutenant Governor from 1819-1828. Can someone who knows more about this please clear up the confusion? Cheers, Fawcett5 19:04, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hyphen
The LG website doesn't use a hyphen (in English, anyway), and since the other English LGs as well as the GG do not use hyphens, why would there be one here? Adam Bishop 06:46, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi! I know it can be tricky and is odd, and it's not cut-and-dry.  According to The Canadian Style, the official (popular) style guide produced by Public Works and Government Services Canada/Department of the Secretary of State (s 2.14, p. 46), Lieutenant-Governor (hyphen) is the correct term to be used (contradicting the QC website); however, usage of Lieutenant Governor is still common.  Similarly, Governor General (without hyphen) is the official term in Canada, yet Governor-General is still used - though less commonly - in Canada (and is the choice term elsewhere).  Why the difference?  Likely because of the order of the terms: Governor is the primary noun for both terms and appears later for the provincial position, hence the hyphen; this is also summarised in The Oxford Guide to Canadian English Usage (p. 244).

 * Moreover (though this can vary), both terms generally should appear only with initial caps when preceding a specific name/titleholder or for clarity.

 * e.g., The governor general is Canada's Crown representative. but
 * Prior to entering political office, Governor General Michaëlle Jean worked at the CBC.

 * I trust this is sufficient. Let me know if you've any questions. E Pluribus Anthony 06:57, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:South Eastern Trains

More Main Line Talk
There should surely be a little more than one sentence to show the complete list of services operated by this TOC! Even if it is only taken from here it would make more sense of the operations by SET. Some of the individual lines are articled - eg Chatham Main Line; Kent Coast Line (although those two are virtually one and the same: the latter trains don't start at Faversham as the article suggests); Medway Valley Line; the three routes to Dartford, and several more of the suburban lines. They should all be capable of being mentioned here.

I also find it odd that the 'real' main line operating out of Charing Cross by SET - the line to Ramsgate via Tonbridge & Ashford - appears to have no article at all! Perhaps that is because the lines are NOT delineated here in the way I suggest above? Peter Shearan 19:04, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Having now rewritten the article to bring it up-to-date and to include the info I talk about above, I wonder if the section on the IKF should not have its own article? There also ought to be some way of describing the direct (SER) main line so that it can have its own article! If nothing else it was where Charles Dickens was involved in the rail accident at Staplehurst!! Peter Shearan 10:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Passenger Traffic
The article states "82% of passenger traffic to London." - Is this fragment saying that 82% of their passenger traffic is to London, or that they handle 82% of all traffic to London? (The first seems far more likely, but I'm not going to change it without a reference.)

 * It means 82% of their passengers start or end their journey in London. MRSC 11:37, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * According to the South Eastern Trains website they run 1700 trains a day, 1400 of which run to and from London. This equates to 82% --Jamesedmo 10:22, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

The "rolling stock" section need editing / rephrasing. Since the phasing out of slam doors / arrival of Electrostars its primarily Electrostars (375s and 376s) and a few Networkers (465 and 466). As far as i know / have seen there aren't any 508s about.

Train routes
This section is a) incorrect and b) woefully inadequate

Main lines South Eastern Trains run four main lines, two to the Kent coast: through Tonbridge to:- Ashford and Dover Priory Tunbridge Wells and Hastings through Maidstone East to Ashford and Canterbury through Chatham and the north Kent coast There is also the Medway Valley Line, linking with the North Downs Line to Reading.

Firstly it needs to state service originating form London termini ie Victoria, Charing X, Blackfrias, Cannon Street and London Bridge.

Secondly while i appreciate SET makes the distinction between metro and "normal" service, we on the wikipedia rail service also have added the rural line category, which rightly or wrongly includes (currently) the Medway Valley Line

On the main line front;
 * part needs to redone to simply the London - Ashford- Dover Line and Hastings Line
 * the service via Maidstone east to Ashford (needs an article) - does it then carry on to Dover or Canterbury West (or Margate / Ramsgate) ???
 * Chatham Main Line and "north Kent coast" or Kent Coast Line are ONE! the trains divide at faversham, part going to dover priory and part to ramsgate. see discussion at Talk:Chatham_Main_Line
 * services from Medway (starting from Gillingham?) via North Kent Line - are these not a main line? / the North Kent Line article needs some review (its more the section of track rather than a reflection of the services), seperating out the metro from main line service.

 * On a browse of the SET amgazine archives the |June 2004 issue (PDF) lists the lines getting the Class 375 electrostars and describes the lines getting them as "costal and mainline services". The line listed are;

* "Coast to London via Chatham" * "Chatham Weald (Faversham, Gillingham, Longfield)" * "Coast to London via Ashford/Tonbridge" * "Hastings to London" * "Sevenoaks/Tonbridge/Ashford/Tunbridge Wells Weald"
 * Three are recognisable as routes lsited above while the 2nd and 5th confuse me (i assume the 2nd is the stopper service on the "Coast to London via Chatham" or Chatham Main Line. Anyway this clears up the Chatham Main Line / Kent Coast Line debate, to an extent. Pickle 20:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Rural lines

 * Sheerness_Line is missing (a rural line?) from the SET article
 * Its unclear (to me) how the system operate in east Kent beyond Ashford. do shuttles operate out of Ashford up via Canterbury west to thanet (margate or ramsgate?), do shuttles go on to folkstone (or even dover, or even thanet)? or do the mainline trains via tonbridge carry on?
 * in light of the above can the Kent Coast Line be cleared up to reflect the current situation
 * London Bridge to Tunbridge Wells (via Redhill) (from class 508 page)
 * Medway Valley Line services that extend beyond padock wood (to tonbridge and a handful to gatwick/three bridges)

Metro (Suburban) Lines

Suburban services The suburban services (called 'Metro’ in the SET timetables) run to: Sevenoaks: two services - one via Grove Park, and one via Bromley South Hayes line Orpington via Lewisham and via Bromley South Swanley Dartford via: North Kent Line (from which certain trains run to Gillingham); the Bexleyheath Line and the Dartford Loop Line.

Upon looking through the soutehrn e group site at the 376 page, they classify/list the metro service as "for services between Victoria, Charing Cross Blackfriars and Cannon Street, and Hayes, Orpington, Swanley and Greenhithe". This is somewhat in conflict witht he above, thus im confused as to wheter metro services reach Sevenoaks and how the services that go up the North Kent Line from Gillingham areus something like this :-

The suburban services (called 'Metro’ in the SET timetables) run from London termni to:

 * Hayes on the Hayes line
 * Orpington via Lewisham and via Bromley South
 * Swanley
 * Greenhithe on the North Kent Line, and thus Bexleyheath Line and Dartford Loop Line
 * Bromely North to Grove Park shuttle is missing (new article) - i think through trains haven't been resumed

Template:Railway lines in South-East England would also need to be edited in light on any changes above

sorry if that a bit much but its unclear to me, im thus looking for concensus and more info --Pickle 21:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with everything you say, but to be honest there's no point updating this page given that SET will cease to exist from April. All you have said above should be done on Govia or the new page whenever they announce the exact franchise name.  [[Image:Anglo-Indian identity.svg|20px]] Deano (Talk) 17:12, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * In theory it will be the same rolling stock and routes (well new one when the CTRL is opened) and i image this data will migrate en mass to the IKF page like this data once migrated from Connex South East to this SET page. Cheers Pickle 19:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Recent updates have been more data to the routes and rolling stock. Pickle 20:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Progress

 * Set up Bromley North Line and hopefully fully linked it up, and help with this, fixing any glaring omissions, spelling and crammer mistakes, etc would be appreciated. Pickle 13:42, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Moved the new Rolling stock and past rolling stock tables into the article

 * Pulled class 508s into old stock as all the SET magazine on their website don't evne mention them once. we still need a date for withdrawal
 * The 508s haven't been withdrawn. Our Phellap 14:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Changed back! - more info on this would help Pickle 05:09, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Huge overhaul of Chatham Main Line with branches after Faversham - "Dover Branch" and "Ramsgate Branch". Looks sort of messy, but i have yet to try a html table like the Oxted Line.Pickle 05:09, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Created Ashford via Maidstone East LinePickle 05:09, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Done a lot of work on various route boxes. Chatham Main Line from coast to Swanley. The whole Ashford via Maidstone East Line, Hastings Line from coast to Tunbridge wells, Marshlink Line, North Kent Line Gillingham to Charlton, Medway Valley Line, and the Sheerness Line. The other SET areas and services within them are beyond me.Pickle 05:09, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Created Ashford to Ramsgate (via Canterbury West) line and significant modified Kent Coast Line, I'm not entirely clear if I've done it right, and have terminated everything at Ramsgate and left in the "limited service" box in between Minster and Sandwich. Pickle 15:44, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Photos
"ENDSMEET8.JPG" is a nice photo, showing something different

"375609_at_London_Victoria" is perhaps what is really desired - a shot of a train in a station, but as mentioned [Talk:Southeastern (train operating company)|elsewhere] it doesn't explicitly show its a "South Eastern Trains" train (and for that matter we're also laking a "South Eastern" photo

I'm sure we've had several reverts over the photos issue so debate away the various merits ....

Nosing at User:Our Phellap/Gallery and [|British trains on wikipedia commons] doesn't IMHO turn up what we're looking for. Pickle 00:19, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm also not too sure about the 375609 image; it still shows the first Connex livery.

Cherrelle

Cheryl Anne Norton (born October 13, 1958), better known by her stage name Cherrelle, is an American R&B singer and songwriter who gained fame in the mid-1980s. Her signature hits include "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On", "Where Do I Run To", "Everything I Miss at Home", and duets with R&B singer Alexander O'Neal such as "Saturday Love" and "Never Knew Love Like This", as well as "Always" with her cousin Pebbles.

Biography
Cherrelle began her career working with jazz/R&B artists Norman Connors and Michael Henderson, as well as touring with Luther Vandross. After Tabu Records founder Clarence Avant heard her demo, he signed her to Tabu Records in 1983. Cherrelle decided on her stage name after a boss from a previous job hollered "Cher-relle, you're late again!"

In 1984, under the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Cherrelle released her debut album, Fragile. It featured her first R&B top 10 single, "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On". That song (with a music video homage to the film King Kong, featuring Cherrelle as the beast's love interest) was covered about a year later by pop singer Robert Palmer on his 1985 album Riptide. It was also covered by Mariah Carey for her 2001 soundtrack album Glitter using the same instrumental track.

Cherrelle's follow-up album, High Priority, was certified gold and produced the top 40 hit and the #2 R&B hit "Saturday Love"; a duet with Alexander O'Neal, it would also land in the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 6. Cherrelle and O'Neal would have another top 40 single with "Never Knew Love Like This", which peaked at #28 US pop in 1988, and #2 R&B. A remixed version of "Saturday Love" on Tabu Records reached #55 in the UK Singles Chart in early 1990. Her third album, 1988's Affair, included the Number 1 R&B single, "Everything I Miss at Home". The album's title track became another R&B hit, peaking at number 4 on the R&B charts.

Cherrelle's cousin is pop singer Perri "Pebbles" Reid; and she is the aunt of Brandi of the girl group Blaque. Cherrelle is also a first cousin of Musica Monica Feaster, Music Producer/Gospel Artist. In addition to Cherrelle's musical background, she and Johnny Gill were featured on Pebbles' 1991 single "Always", which made the R&B top 20. That same year, Cherrelle released the album The Woman I Am, a first-time departure from using Jam and Lewis productions. The singer linked with producer Narada Michael Walden (known for working with Whitney Houston). Cherrelle reunited with the producers eight years later with her independent album The Right Time, released in 1999, and featuring a guest appearance from rapper Keith Murray.

Voice and musical ability
Cherrelle has a light-lyric soprano vocal range. Her voice has been called a "light, wispy and occasionally whiny soprano" which influenced the urban contemporary music markets by Ron Wynn of AllMusic. Cherrelle's "light and airy soprano" were considered the inspiration as to why Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis wanted to produce her and showcase her gift to the world. Other critics gave her praise for being able to convey emotions.

Discography

 * Fragile (1984)
 * High Priority (1985)

Wineries?
Is the external link to Long Island Wineries really encyclopedic and apropos for Long Island Sound? If anything, I would think it would fit better in Long Island. --RoySmith 19:06, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Incorrect information
Hey I'm not sure exactly how this works, so I'm not sure if it's wikipedia or someone else correcting me. Here's the thing, I'm an expert on this and you dont even need to be to know, that some of the information on this page NOT correct at all. Just look on absolutely any website on the sound and youll find that non of the water temp, currents or depth info is even close to true. I don't know who's doing this, but please stop, just let me make the correction, look it up if you have to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.159.174.211 (talk) 20:29, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Bridges
I'd like to see a citation for the Orient-Rhode Island bridge, considering this would possibly be the longest bridge in the world, at over 23 miles, not to mention that the North Fork does not have nearly the infrastructure to justify an engineering project of this magnitude. Solenoid 02:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Isn't this the citation? I found it in the article.Noroton (talk) 05:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Geologic age
I also noticed that the article states '3' years ago when discussing the geology of this area. Surely this should be 3 billion at least? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Annagoddess (talk • contribs) 12:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Yeah I agree. --71.255.69.2 (talk) 20:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Name
On map I found the name "..sundet". What does it mean, a small sound? Should it be mentioned in the article? --Slartibartfass (talk) 15:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Considering that it's in German, it obviously means "Sound," as in the Long Island Sound. This might be good for German versions of related articles. DanTD (talk) 04:01, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/L. Paul Bremer

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was SPEEDY KEEP. Postdlf 16:46, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Paul Bremer
Article needs to be completely deleted or drastically revamped Ariele 19:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC) See further explanation at Why Vote for Deletion?
 * Keep - Please read Deletion policy before nominating this article in VfD. If you think it has NPOV, cleanup, etc., issues then discuss on that article's discussion tab, then put a template tag. Right now, the person is definitely notable and it is not listed as a "Problems that may require deletion." --Chill Pill Bill 19:21, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * "...Only administrators have the ability to delete and undelete pages within the system...." I am only submitting the idea.  If you only knew how difficult it was for some to keep this article on here as NPOV as possible during its early development.  There were issues and attempts at removing or revising its contents before.  Ariele 21:12, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh by the way, the VfD listing is not a joke. Press releases indicate Bremer allegedly criticized the newly elected Bush administration back in 2000 for not doing enough "home-land securitying". If only there were more (links would be good) on his Congressional testimonies prior to the year 2000 as the article suggests that Bremer was a "regular" on Capitol Hill. Questioning what I have read. Ariele 03:11, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Which is, again, not a reason for deletion. If you don't like the POV, fix it yourself, or slap a tag on it. You seem to have done some research on this subject already; why not apply it to the article? There's currently no discussion on the article's talk page about the issues you raise (unless they've been archived or removed, forgive me if that's the case as I haven't the time to go through the talk history) so it seems to me that no effort has been made to fix the article. Bremer is an important figure and warrants an article – why do you want it deleted? If you brought it here just to get more eyeballs on the article, this is the wrong forum, as you can see from the responses. Listing it at WP:RFC would be the way to go, IMO.  A и D я 01D TALK EMAIL  16:21, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * And therefore, your vote is necessary to KEEP or DELETE. If you recall, this article was submitted by someone else for deletion and I (a newcomer at the time) supported "DELETE".  My opinion has not changed. And yes, I have attempted to "fix" the problem but as you can see in the discussion, there were indeed issues and anti-Bremer sentiments.  If you were watching this article, you will find that the direction this article will be taking is not going to be a favorable one.   Ariele 16:55, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 22:10, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * erm, exactly what is wrong with this article? Keep The JPS 19:22, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. DS1953 19:32, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Important article - should be developed further. --Ian Pitchford 19:48, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep notable person. --InShaneee 20:24, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep nothing wrong with it as far as I can see, it doesn't seem to have any NPOV issues or any other problems. --Sstabeler 21:17, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep No immediate POV problems that I can see, and no real reason for deletion.
 * Keepimportant international figure, important figure in the history of Iraq, Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Bush Administration. Deletion would be a mistake
 * Keep. POV issues are not reason to delete an article, and the reasoning given at Chill Pill Bill's talk page does not make it sound like the POV is unfixable. A и D я 01D  TALK  EMAIL  23:14, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Highly notable person. Article needs some POV balancing or more careful phrasing but the article should definitely remain. I'm surprised it wasn't already in the Wikipedia, actually. The article on Chill Bill Pall's page appears to imply that because he doesn't feature on GWB's page he must therefore not be notable; that is just an oversight on GWB's page.-Splash 00:54, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * The article isn't new. It was a feature article in 2004 until it was demoted recently. I should have phrase my sentences better. --Chill Pill Bill 03:09, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Detailed article on notable person. Capitalistroadster 01:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Is this VFD a joke? --Bletch 02:51, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Come on now. We could just delete George W. Bush right along with this one. POV can be fixed without a VfD.  -- Jonel 03:06, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, although I do dislike Bremer so. I still cannot understand this VfD's reasoning. Xoloz 04:21, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Extremely notable figure in Iraq. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:51, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 100% Keep — was this nomination some type of joke? — RJH 16:08, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

User talk:TonicBH

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have.  You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox.  When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.  First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette.  Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame)  19:07, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Hi there. I noticed that you created this article. I was wondering if you had full results for any of the series, so that the page can be updated to be more consistant with pages such as 2005 World Series of Poker World Poker Tour season 1 results, Late Night Poker season 1 results, Ultimate Poker Challenge season 1 results and other results pages that are part of WikiProject Poker (which you are more than welcome to join of course.) If you do, please let me know on my talk page or at Talk:Poker Royale. Thanks. Essexmutant 14:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Page Blanking
On 11-May, you blanked I'm With The Band. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. Blanking is not the same as deleting. If you believe a page should be deleted, please follow the deletion procedures. In the case of a redirect to a non-existent page, that qualifies for speedy deletion. I have reverted the blanking and also tagged it for deletion. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 20:29, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Renominating pages for deletion
If you want to AFD an article that has already had a deletion discussion before (after ) you don't see a red link for the AFD subpage) you can either nominate it for speedy deletion as a repost (using db-repost) or start a new, clean AFD using or similar.

 * Tru, thank you for being polite.
 * I do not have the ability to pursue this. I was interested in the subject, and had no problem with the article itself. But the sloppy method irritated me. Not only was it published without sources, but edited without them, too. Not encyclopedic, was it? So I rocked the boat. Now several real "Wikipedians" are aware of this stuff.

Sikorsky H-60

The Sikorsky H-60 is a family of military helicopters built by Sikorsky Aircraft.

All models use a modified mission symbol in addition to the 'H' vehicle type designator under the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system (meaning, there is no aircraft named an "H-60" per se). The mission prefix (e.g. U, M, V) only has tangential meaning to the suffix series letter (A/B/C etc.), as most modified mission types encompass multiple series letters. Sikorsky also sells this helicopter as the S-70, but it was initially developed as the UH-60 to specific United States Army project requirements.

Blue Monday (term)

In American literature of the 1830s, Blue Monday referred to the hungover state of the labor workforce after a weekend spent drinking, and the association of the color blue with a depressed state of mind. In the 1860s, the term began to be applied to a weekly home "wash day." White clothing was sometimes rinsed with bluing, however the relevance of this fact to the nickname for Mondays is contested, and the name may simply carry over from the earlier usage.
