Link format
Capital letters and underscores are not required to form wikilinks. Just write the words normally: An electric vehicle... -- not An Electric_vehicle... You can also write your text in a word processing program and spell check it, then copy and paste it into wikipedia and add the wikilinks then. Someday perhaps we will get a built-in spellchecker. Rmhermen 15:26, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you, I'll try to be more diligent in my spelling and grammar corrections. ThanX for clarifying link formats, Guess I should read more of the wikipedia guides, huh. --D0li0 17:05, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Minor edits
High, please only use the minor edit tag when it is truly a minor edit such as a spelling corection or adding an internal link or something. Pretty much any time you change the way text reads it is not a minor edit. Thanks, and we'll get there someday on the electric vehicle articles. - Taxman Talk 02:57, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Signature tricks
D0li0, To make a super-neato signature of your choice, you first have to cobble together the html yourself. I happened to know how, but most people just do some from column A and some from cloumn B of other people's signatures. Then under "Preferences->User data" (proabably at the top of your screen near "log in/out") paste your html into the nickname field and tick "raw signatures". Try not to get too fancy though, some people don't like it. (Hmmm... rephrasing that.) Get as fancy as you want, but some people have been known to get grief over that (e.g. User:Theresa Knott). brenneman (t) (c) 23:00, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

EV conversion schematics
Greetings: I am creating a set of schematics for EV conversion. The first concerns pack isolation during charging and it is at Image:WPEVCContactorCharge.png and has been referenced from the Electric vehicle conversion article. I would appreciate if you could review, correct any text and please sign off as checked if the drawing and text are OK, otherwise message me at User talk:Leonard G. if the drawing must be corrected or if you do not feel qualified to judge the accuracy of the document and text. I will be making some slight cosmetic adjustments to the text within the fuses. Note that this drawing is not ANSI conforming - should it be? Thanks, Leonard G. 18:56, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I've added a comment regarding the fuse location, and I'm not sure where the ac line ground is going. Might want to use curly line intersections.  I also sent a message to the EVDL, we'll see if anyone else chimes in with corrections or help with the article.  --D0li0 04:08, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I have dropped curly line jumpovers in all my personal schematics - any line crossing is not connected, any line Ting in is, so to make a four wire junction, this is offset to form two Ts. It seems pretty clear to me and offers far less visual clutter. I have added a white break in horizontal lines where verticals cross That is easier with the drawing system I am using. Error on ground and fuse location also corrected. Only thing not on WP is white out under main negative run. I will update if no changes by tomorrow PM. I had put the fuse where it was on my vehicle (which I did not build, but am improving it) - thanks for the heads up, I will move it to the correct location on the vehicle as soon as I can obtain some cables. Leonard G. 04:48, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

 * New diagram obsoleting previous (still on file at Image:WPEVCContactorCharge.png), new at Image:WPEVCContactorCharge2B.png and referenced from article. I decided that a low current switch combined with a high current one or two pole industrial AC contactor would be better. 3PDT or 4PDT switch used and charger does not send current through this switch. Four poles allows ignition to be disabled when in charge mode. This incorporates your suggested graphic change (dots at connections). - Leonard G. 06:10, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

New electrical diagram Image:WPEVStartRun.png referenced from Electric vehicle conversion. Diagram page contains explanation of the details and theory of operation and has a reference to a physical wiring diagram at Image:WPEVStartRunWires.png. These are color coded with matching colors between the two diagrams. I am pretty confident about the accuracy of these as they are a cut and paste adaptation of my as-built finalization of build documents for my current vehicle. These also each reference PDF files for printing at high resolution.

Also: Image:WPEVCContactorCharge.png is now the current one. This uses a single 3PDT (Magnecraft W389ACX-15) for use with external controllers such as used with Avcon. This references a varient for opportunity charging that has start and stop switch, so charger can be turned off before unplugging while still drawing current, avoiding arc at plug contacts. The relay is on order so this has not been completed as to controller pre-charge isolation, but I have installed the second contactor and extended charging lines on my Mazda.

Electric boat
Thanks for your help and support recently on this article. I'm sure that 166.127.1.35 is just trying to wind us up - he's talking nonsense. I've stuck a few more bits of fatherly advice for him on both the Electric Boat's talk page and his own. In the end, his recent edits are so minor that I reckon if we leave them for a while he'll soon get bored, or banned, and the article can move on without his intense involvement. But it's up to you - personally I just don't have the time or the energy right now for him. --Nigelj 21:08, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Magne Charge
I have added a "" template to the article Magne Charge, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Category:Historic electric vehicles
Generally, the term "historic" suffers from severe interpretation problems, as it could refer to things that are a set age (20, 50, or 100 years old), things that are no longer in production, or things that were of particular significance in some time period. (Categories for vintage cars have also suffered interpretation problems.) I was about to nominate this category for merging into Category:Electric vehicles, but I thought I would contact you first to find out whether you would be willing to find some other way to categorize these vehicles. I would actually suggest categorizing by decade, as decade is objectively defined. I also liked your suggestion about a category for prototype electric vehicles in Category Talk:Historic electric vehicles. What are your thoughts? Dr. Submillimeter 14:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Misc.
The article looks a bit of a mess; half the images need to go. Could editors decide on which should be kept and which not? Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 11:13, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with you Mel and think we should start looking at copyrights here. Since reading your comment the first time, some images have been removed, however....'MelC2.jpg' and 'MelC.jpg' are, I believe from a promotional photo-shoot for Beautiful Intentions. 'MelC-Live.jpg' is a fan photograph posted on the [Denden forums] (the other 2 were also the subject of a thread there and probably lifted from there). I have been thinking about an image for the entry for a while and had thought about calling upon the Denden community. There are a lot of talented photographers there, but one, Stanie, stands out above the rest. She is known and respected by Miss Chisholm and would, I'm sure, agree for her work to be released under GNU. I would ask Werdna2004 to remove or cite sources for the images he/she has posted. If Werdna2004 can satisfy the requirements of Wikimedia then fair enough, otherwise, I shall approach Stanie for permission to use a photograph to illustrate this entry. Finally, thank you, again, Mel Etitis for all the work you have contributed to this article. I had been watching it for a long time, while nothing happened, took a few weeks off, and have found a plethora of edits. Your attempts at keeping it tidy and Wikified are appreciated. To Werdna2004, thank you for your interest in this article, Wikipedia relies on editors just like you for it's survival. Please learn how to use the 'Show Preview' function, it will make your edits so much more elegant. Fi9 04:57, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Cristian Tudor Popescu

Cristian Tudor Popescu (often referred to as CTP; born October 1, 1956) is a Romanian journalist, essayist, engineer, short-story writer and political commentator. Author of science fiction stories during his youth, he also hosted talk shows for various television stations, and had contributions as a literary critic and translator.

Popescu was the editor-in-chief of Adevărul, and, in 2005, he founded the newspaper Gândul in association with Mircea Dinescu. He was also the president of the Romanian Press Club until November 2006, when he resigned his office over an issue regarding the representation of journalists in the Club. He was re-elected president on February 10, 2007. Based on opinion polls, he was designated Romania's best journalist four years in a row 2005–2008.

Biography
A native of Bucharest, he graduated the Mihai Viteazul High School in 1975 and Politehnica University in 1981, majoring in automation engineering. Popescu began writing fiction during the communist regime, focusing on his journalistic career after the Romanian Revolution of 1989. His first publication was 1984 in the Echinox literary magazine of Cluj-Napoca with the SF story Grădina de cenușă ("The Ash Garden"). Popescu's work was subsequently featured in most SF anthologies, almanacs and magazines before 1990, and he was twice a laureate of the ROMCON Awards (1985, 1986). He received the Eurocon Award for the collection of short stories Planetarium.

After 1990, he confined his SF activity to translating and editing the works of others. Popescu translated Stanisław Lem's novels Manuscript Found in a Bathtub, Return from the Stars, as well as Norman Spinrad's Bug Jack Barron (in collaboration with Dan Mihai Pavelescu). As an editor of SF literature, he published Dănuț Ungureanu's novel Marilyn Monroe on a Closed Curve (1993), Dan Merișca's Revolt in Labyrinth (1996), and the SF anthology The Empire of the Crooked Mirrors (1993).

Between 1990 and 2005, Popescu was the editor-in-chief of Adevărul newspaper. In disagreement with the management, he and 81 journalists resigned from the paper and, together with Mircea Dinescu, started their own publication, Gândul, however Mircea Dinescu resigned in January 2008. Together with Emil Hurezeanu he was also a co-host of the TV two-man political talk show Cap și Pajură (Heads and Tails) broadcast on Realitatea TV.

Popescu is a film analyst, with a Ph.D. in cinematography from the Caragiale National University of Theatre and Film in Bucharest, where he has been teaching a course on Manipulation and Propaganda Techniques in Movie and Television.

Since 2006, Popescu is the host of the TV show CineTePrinde, broadcast each Saturday, starting from 10 PM, on Pro Cinema, where he comments a movie, which is given afterwards, from a critical point of view. He is member of UCIN and Writers' Union of Romania. He was until 2022 a political commentator at the Romanian private TV station Digi24.

A fact that has become widely known in the last years is that CTP is an accomplished tennis player having won numerous national tournaments in the 55+ senior category competing against as many as 140 contestants at an event. Beside playing tennis, he is a public tennis commentator for various Romanian private TV stations including, most notably, Digi Sport.

The most prominent aspect of the club is its men's first team, which play in the National League South, at the sixth level of the English football league system. The club also has a men's U23 team and a women's senior team.

Formation and early years (1963–1975)
Welling United Football Club was founded in 1963 by former professional footballer Syd Hobbins. It began as an U15 youth team, playing in the Eltham & District Sunday League on a park pitch from 1963–64 to 1970–71. From 1971–72 to 1974–75, they played in the Metropolitan-London League Intermediate/Reserves Division at Butterfly Lane, Eltham.

London Spartan, Athenian and Southern Leagues (1975–1986)
In 1975–76, they played in the London Spartan League Reserve Division One. They gained senior status in the London Spartan League in 1976, while playing at Butterfly Lane. Welling finished sixth in the London Spartan League Division 2 in 1976–77 and was promoted to the Premier Division. In 1977, Welling moved to the Park View Road ground, which had previously belonged to the then-defunct Bexley United. They joined the Athenian League in 1978. In 1981, they progressed to the Southern Football League Southern Division.

After just one season at this level the club found itself in the Southern League Premier Division after the league was re-organised. In 1985–86, they won the league title by 23 points and were promoted to the Football Conference.

Football Conference (1986–2000)
Although the team struggled in the Conference, only twice finishing above 11th place in 14 seasons, they did enjoy cup success during this period, qualifying for the first round proper of the FA Cup in the six successive seasons between 1986 and 1992. The first of these was in the 1986–87 season, where they were drawn against Maidstone United, playing to a 1–1 draw and a 4–1 defeat in the first round replay. The next season, they defeated Carshalton Athletic 3–2 at home to reach the second round proper, then losing to Bath City 1–0 at Park View Road. In 1988–89, Welling United made their only third round proper appearance to date, losing 1–0 at Park View Road to Blackburn Rovers. 1989-90 was another significant campaign for Welling, as they knocked out Kent's only Football League side, Gillingham, who competed in the Football League Fourth Division, the fourth tier of English football at the time. This match holds the record for the highest attendance at a home game.

During this period, the club also had success in local cups, winning the Kent Senior Cup in the 1985–86 and 1998–99 seasons, as well as the London Senior Cup in the 1989–89 season, and the London Challenge Cup in the 1991–92 season.

Terry Robbins joined the club in 1986, coinciding with the beginning of the team's period of FA Cup success. He was top league scorer for the club between 1986 and 1994, and was the leading scorer for the Football Conference league in the 1991–1992 season, with 29 league goals.

The club was relegated in 1999–2000 and returned to the Southern League Premier Division.

Conference South (2003–2010)
In the 2003–04 season, under the management of former England World Cup player Paul Parker, the Wings finished in the top half of the Southern League Premier Division and was therefore able to claim a place in the newly formed Conference South. In that season, Parker left the club by mutual consent.

Former Coventry City and Republic of Ireland player Liam Daish took charge of the team on a caretaker basis before the permanent position was handed to former Norwich City and Gillingham defender Adrian Pennock, who narrowly missed out on taking the club into the promotion play-offs. Pennock left the club at the end of the 2006–07 season. His last game managing the Wings finished in a 1–1 draw at home to Hayes. Pennock joined Stoke City in a coaching position under his former Gillingham manager, Tony Pulis.

On 16 May 2007, Welling United appointed Neil Smith as the new first team manager. However, after only seven months in charge Smith parted company with the club on 7 January 2008. It was mutually agreed between the club and Smith that his reign as Wings boss would end.

Andy Ford was appointed the new manager of the Wings on 31 January 2008. Despite losing 6–2 to Cambridge City in his first game in charge, Ford guided the Wings to safety and they eventually finished 16th. Welling finished 7th in the Conference South in 2008/09 under the guidance of Ford. After a poor start to the 2009–10 season Ford resigned, stating he didn't think he could achieve what he wanted on the current budget. Jamie Day was announced as the new player/manager in November 2009.

Debt and misconduct (2010–2011)
On 12 August 2010, the club was served with a winding-up petition by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), due for a hearing later that month. The club was given 14 weeks to pay the outstanding debt to the HMRC. £60,000 was raised by the club and its supporters to clear all debts. During this period, in a Football Conference Hearing on 16 September 2010, Welling United admitted to a misconduct charge in connection with the outstanding HMRC debt. This resulted in an immediate deduction of 5 points and a suspended £5,000 fine.

Despite this embargo and point deduction, the team missed out on a play-off place by only one point, finishing in 6th place.

Promotion and relegation (2011–2019)
The 2011–12 season ended with Welling in 3rd place and after defeating Sutton United 2–1 on aggregate in the play-off semi-finals they narrowly missed promotion in the final, being defeated 0–1 by Dartford at Princes Park.

Welling made a return to the top level of non-league football the following season after clinching the Conference South title, 13 years after they last played at the fifth tier of English football. Between 3 November and 5 February, Welling also broke the league's record for consecutive wins, with 12 in a row.

In December 2014 Jamie Day left Welling by mutual consent. He was replaced by Jake Gallagher and Jamie Turner as caretakers, but on 21 December it was announced that Jody Brown of Grays Athletic would become manager. On 3 March 2015, Jody Brown was relieved of his duties after just one point in his first nine games. Right back player Loui Fazakerley was put in charge for "the foreseeable future".

Welling's first televised home match was played on 8 March 2015, being played live on BT Sport, and ended in a 1–0 loss to Altrincham.

Following an impressive run of results, Fazakerley steered the team out of the relegation zone and to 20th place, above Alfreton Town on goal difference. Fazakerley was appointed as manager on a full-time basis the same week.

On 25 January 2016 Loui Fazakerley was sacked after 10 months in charge, with the club in the National League relegation zone and was replaced with former first team coach Dean Frost, along with and Barry Ashby as assistant manager. Jamie Turner also came back as goalkeeping coach. Frost's first match in charge was away against FC Halifax Town and finished 1–1, Welling's first goal and point at The Shay. Frost left the post with 6 matches remaining in the 2015–16 season with the club bottom of the league after a 4–0 defeat to Chester, leading to Welling's relegation to National League South, formerly known as Conference South.

Mark Goldberg was appointed manager for the coming season along with Damian Mathew as his assistant. After a poor start to the season Golberg gave more control to Mathew but that proved short lived as Mathew left the club in the wake of a capitulation from 2–0 at home to Hemel Hempstead Town, losing the match 3–2. Former manager Jamie Day returned to the club as assistant to Goldberg but results still did not improve. Day was appointed manager, which culminated in a run that saw Day awarded National League South Manager of the Month, December 2016, and talisman Adam Coombes named player for the month. Day was being assisted by Adrian Pennock, acting as football consultant. In January 2017, more upheaval was to follow when Pennock left for Gillingham, as manager, taking Day with him as assistant. Coach, Harry Wheeler and Tristan Lewis were drafted in to cover in the short term. With the 2016–17 season nearing close, former Charlton Athletic assistant manager Alex Dyer was appointed manager in March 2017. Assisted by Tristan Lewis, Dyer guided Welling for the remainder of the season, and finished the 2016–17 campaign with a 2–0 loss to Dover Athletic in the Kent Senior Cup final. In May 2017, Jamie Coyle became Welling United manager, with Tristan Lewis appointed to Director of Football. In February 2018 it was announced that Coyle had signed a contract extension to manage the Wings for the 2018–19 season. With the season ended three days earlier, and the club missing out on a play-off berth, it was announced on 1 May 2018 that Coyle had stepped down from his role as first-team manager. On 3 May 2018, Director of Football, Tristan Lewis also left for pastures new, with the club singling out his work; in establishing their academy, and co-managing the team alongside Mark Goldberg, Harry Wheeler, Alex Dyer and Jamie Coyle, for praise.

Steve King was next to be appointed manager after he joined from recently relegated Whitehawk at the end of May. His first season with the Wings finished in 3rd place and top of the home form table. The team's position on the league table led to qualification for the playoffs for only the second time in its history. In the semi-final at Park View Road, Welling defeated Chelmsford City 3-2 courtesy of a 96th-minute penalty by Brendan Kiernan. The playoff final was won by Woking. The hosts won the game 1–0 after Armani Little scored a free-kick just before half-time. This was King's final game in charge as manager as he was replaced in June 2019 by Mark Goldberg, who returned for his second term as manager.

COVID-19 pandemic (2019–2021)
Bradley Quinton became the club's new manager in January 2020. Quinton oversaw an immediate improvement before the 2019–2020 season was suspended on 16 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the club in mid-table. On 31 March 2020, this suspension was extended indefinitely. Clubs would then vote to end the season on 22 April.

Uncertainty before the 2020–21 season resulted in another squad overhaul. After a single win from 11 games, Quinton was sacked by the club, and subsequently replaced by manager Steve Lovell. The season was again interrupted by COVID-19, being declared null and void on 18 February 2021, and a National League restructure resulted in only the bottom team being relegated the following season.

Recent history (2021–present)
Lovell left his position as manager after an unsuccessful start, being replaced in September 2021 by Peter Taylor, who stayed until March 2022, when Warren Feeney was appointed manager.

Goldberg's direct ownership finished at the end of that season with Howard Prosser and Jerry Dolke taking majority ownership of the club. Feeney was permanently appointed by the new board to build a more competitive squad for 2022–23, however, despite generous backing from the club, he was only able to achieve a bottom-half finish. Unpopular with supporters, he left the club in June 2023 to take up the vacant managerial post at Glentoran in his native Northern Ireland. Feeney's replacement was announced as former Eastbourne Borough manager Danny Bloor. With the club third from bottom of the National League South, Bloor was sacked on 28 January 2024 and was replaced by Rod Stringer, the Brentwood Town manager, on 29 January 2024.

Ground
Welling United play their home matches at Park View Road, Welling. This ground has been their home since 1977 when they took over the ground which had been vacated by the defunct Bexley United. Prior to that date the club had played at a community sports ground in Butterfly Lane, Eltham. Having been unoccupied for some time, the new ground was almost derelict.

Erith & Belvedere have been ground sharing since the 1999 season. Improvements were made to the Park View Road ground in 2004, which included a new covered stand.

As a result of severe storms and gale-force winds in December 2006, the floodlights at Park View Road were damaged. Due to safety reasons all the floodlight pylons on the Welling side of the ground were removed. The floodlights were put in place during the month of June 2007 and are fully functional, one pylon positioned in each corner.

During the 2013–14 season, Park View Road had to be changed to keep Welling United in the Conference Premier in the 2014–15 season. These all happened between the months of February and March.

In the close season of 2015–16 both Welling United bars, the boardroom and parking area at Park View Road underwent renovations. In particular the hospitality areas at the ground were fully refitted to cater for match-days, and non-football related events and private bookings.

Jimmy Lyons

Jimmy Lyons (December 1, 1931 – May 19, 1986) was an American alto saxophone player. He is best known for his long tenure in the Cecil Taylor Unit. Lyons was the only constant member of the band from the mid-1960s until his death. Taylor never worked with another musician as frequently as he did with Lyons. Lyons' playing, influenced by Charlie Parker, kept Taylor's avant-garde music tethered to the jazz tradition.

Biography
Lyons was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States, and raised there until the age of nine, when his mother moved the family to Harlem and then the Bronx. He obtained his first saxophone in the mid-1940s and took lessons from Buster Bailey.

After high school, Lyons was drafted into the United States Army and spent 21 months on infantry duty in Korea. He then spent a year playing in army bands. Once discharged he attended New York University. By the end of the 1950s, Lyons was supporting his interest in music by working for the United States Postal Service.

In 1960, Lyons followed Archie Shepp into the saxophone role in the Cecil Taylor Unit. His post-Parker sound and strong melodic sense became a defining part of the sound of that group, from the 1962 Cafe Montmartre sessions onwards.

During the 1970s, Lyons also ran his own ensemble, with bassoonist Karen Borca and percussionist Paul Murphy. They often performed in the loft jazz movement around Studio Rivbea. Lyons' group and Cecil Taylor Unit continued a parallel development throughout the 1970s and 1980s, often involving the same musicians, including trumpeter Raphe Malik, bassist William Parker and percussionist Murphy.

In 1976, Lyons performed in a production of Adrienne Kennedy's A Rat's Mass directed by Cecil Taylor at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club in the East Village of Manhattan. Musicians Rashid Bakr, Andy Bey, Karen Borca, David S. Ware, and Raphe Malik also performed in the production. Taylor's production combined the original script with a chorus of orchestrated voices used as instruments.

Lyons died from lung cancer in 1986 at the age of 54. He did not publish many recordings with his own ensemble, though Ayler Records did release a five-CD box set of recordings from 1972 to 1985.

Cologny

Cologny is a municipality in the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland.

History
Cologny is first mentioned in 1208 as Colognier.

The oldest trace of a settlement in the area is a Neolithic lake side village which was discovered near the village of La Belotte. The Lake Geneva area was conquered by the Romans in the 2nd century. They built a road from Corsier through the Cologny area to Frontenex during their 2 centuries of residency.

During the Middle Ages, it was part of the lands of the Counts of Geneva, before it was acquired by the Bishopric of Geneva. The village church of Saint Peter was placed under the parish of Vandœuvres in 1406, indicating that it was probably built before the 15th century. In 1536, Cologny joined the new faith of the Protestant Reformation as nearby Geneva became a center of reform. Two years later, in May 1538 a treaty between Bern and Geneva placed Cologny in the city of Geneva.

In the late 16th century and into the 17th century a number of Geneva publishers moved to or set up offices in Cologny. By claiming Cologny or Colonia Allobrogum as the publication location, they were able to circumvent French laws which banned books from Geneva. Beginning in the 18th century elegant chalets sprung up along the shores of Lake Geneva in Cologny. One of the most famous is Villa Diodati in which Lord Byron, John Polidori, Mary Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley spent part of the Year Without a Summer in 1816. Due to the poor weather, the guests spent days indoors telling each other horror stories. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and John Polidori's The Vampyre, the first modern vampire story, both resulted. The town council of Cologny met for the first time on 9 December 1800, after Geneva had been annexed into France following the 1798 French invasion of Switzerland. The mathematician Louis Necker (1730–1804), elder brother of the Statesman Jacques Necker, died in Cologny.

In the 20th century, many wealthy individuals and organizations have moved to Cologny. Traditionally the municipality consisted of small villages with many farms.

Emerald Airways

Emerald Airways was an airline based in Liverpool, United Kingdom. It operated contract and ad hoc freight services throughout the UK and Europe for postal, newspaper and freight companies and passenger services to Ireland under the brand FlyJem.

The airline ceased operations on 12 May 2006.

History
The airline was established and started operations in 1987. It was formed by Andy Janes and his wife Hilary as Janes Aviation at Southend airport. The company was renamed Emerald in 1992, in recognition of the large amount of business across the Irish Sea and established its base in Liverpool. In October 2002, Emerald bought Exeter based Streamline Aviation. The airline was wholly owned by AS Janes and HJ Janes.

In June 2005, EuroManx successfully bought the passenger service of Emerald Airways, which was operating low cost services from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the Isle of Man, using BAe ATPs. Following the takeover these services were then operated under the EuroManx name and booking system, but often the cabin crew employed and the planes used were those of Emerald Airways.

Following the suspension of Emerald's AOC and the company subsequently calling in administrators, one of the ATPs was impounded by the Isle of Man Government at Ronaldsway Airport.

The new Irish start-up airline, Emerald Airlines, founded in November 2020 is unrelated to Emerald Airways.

AOC Suspension
On 4 May 2006 at 20:00 the airline's Air Operators Certificate was suspended by the CAA following safety issues, the latest of which was an HS748 incident in the Channel Islands. The CAA specified that should its requirements be met the airline's AOC would be reinstated. On 11 May 2006, administrators were appointed. As a result of the fleet grounding the firm were unable to generate any money to run the business. The AOC was revoked at the request of Emerald Airways on 7 August 2006.

Hubs
Emerald Airways' main base was Liverpool John Lennon Airport and it had hubs at Coventry Airport, Galileo Galilei Airport (PSA), Ruzyně International Airport, Vienna International Airport, Charles de Gaulle Airport and Marseille Provence Airport.

Fleet
The Emerald Airways fleet included the following aircraft (at August 2006):

 * 15 Hawker Siddeley HS 748
 * 5 BAe ATP
 * 1 Shorts 330
 * 10 Shorts 360

Talk:McLaren (disambiguation)

Old talk
It's not really appropriate for there to be a disambiguation page here. A dismbiguation page is for where there are two or more articles which share the same "natural" title. For example, Lotus could equally well mean the car company or the flower of the same name, so a disambiguation page is needed. However, that is not the case here - there is only one article listed here that is naturally called McLaren - the F1 team. We don't need a list of people called McLaren, because that doesn't create and article title conflict; nor do we need to distinguish carefully between companies in McLaren group, because they all operate as essentially the same company (virtually any company of any size is structured in this way, and having disambiguation pages in this way for all of them would be confusing and a waste of time).

I would suggest the best way to resolve this is either to move the main Team McLaren here (and perhaps merge the McLaren Group article into it, to clarify the company structure), or to have this page redirecting to Team McLaren.

Keeping the disambiguation page would mean we need to fix all the links pointing here to point to the appropriate articles.

Any comments?

Enchanter 11:18, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Team McLaren is a subsidiary of the McLaren Group. The name McLaren can be and is used to refer to the McLaren Group, McLaren Cars, etc. I'm not opposed to moving the article about the F1 team here, but the team and other companies need to be kept separate since they are separate entities. — Dan | Talk 14:19, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

Appropriation
McLaren (disambiguation) → McLaren - Move to proper name will solve solve both the disambiguation and double-redirect issues. -Stevertigo 17:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

 * There is another request, to move McLaren (racing) to the plain title. See Talk:McLaren (racing). --Falcadore (talk) 18:14, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm absolutely in agreement with Enchanter - there doesn't seem to be a need for a disambiguation page and the F1 team seems to be the only entity that goes by the exact name of "McLaren", plus it's clearly the primary topic. Moving the F1 team page to McLaren (racing) created a hell of a lot of broken links which have yet to be fixed. I suggest moving the F1 team article back to McLaren with the appropriate hatnotes or having McLaren redirect to Team McLaren . Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:12, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Scratch that - McLaren hasn't been known as "Team McLaren" for about 30 years, hence it's not an appropriate name for the article. Simply "McLaren" is the best way. Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:48, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Strongly oppose this move. You moved McLaren to McLaren (racing) without any consensus whatsoever; that move should be reverted per WP:COMMONNAME and per this discussion at WT:F1. Maybe you should start discussions before making highly contentious moves that cause collaterial damage - this move appears to me a violation of WP:POINT. Let's type McLaren in on Google - what's the first thing to come up? Ah, the F1 team, so what do you do? Move it away from its common name. Typical. D.M.N. (talk) 19:03, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I see you recently decided to move McLaren to McLaren (racing) and then redirected the original title to a disambiguation page. Before you did this, did you consider whether there is a primary topic for the ambiguous title? Be that as it may, you failed to check the title McLaren for redirects and incoming links that were affected by your actions. For example, it is pretty obvious that McLaren Racing and McLaren racing team should not have been left as redirects to the disambiguation page. Huge numbers of links from templates and other articles also needed to be fixed as part of this move. If you are going to change long-established article titles, it is your obligation to check for and fix collateral damage caused by the change. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:33, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You've created a nightmare with this page move. Why didn't you discuss it anywhere? McLaren (racing) is really not an appropriate name for the article anyway. Are you going to fix the thousands of redirects now? Bretonbanquet (talk) 15:25, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you going to discuss this or are you just planning on creating a WP:POINT? D.M.N. (talk)
 * I'm here. What is your issue? If its the double redirects issue, that one is easily solved. If its the 'canonical usage', I will deal with that one. -Stevertigo 19:06, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Two comments below were removed from WP:RFM by RFCbot. Restored here:

 * Question: Which is the canonical "McLaren"? Is it the group, the car, the racing outfit, the person, etc.? -Stevertigo 19:09, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

 * The team is the canonical McLaren, as is fairly clear. All the others have their own clearly delineated articles - Bruce McLaren, McLaren Group, the individual McLaren cars etc. Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:43, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Do you have a source for the idea that a particular entity within an organization is more "canonical" than another entity (the car, for example) or the organization itself? You don't seem to have an argument, just an opinion. -Stevertigo 21:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you serious? I mean, you need a source to verify that an unspecified car from any given season is less important than the ongoing team that built it? I don't understand. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:16, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Move it all back. This is just daft. Beyond all the issues and this red herring of 'canon', we have the issue of common usage. The common usage for McLaren is the racing team that competes in F1. If Stevertigo has some argument about that, let him make it. He should have known this move would be controversial and he should have sought consensus to do so. -- Narson ~  Talk  • 22:32, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Frankly this is all ridiculous. There was not even a hint that there was any kind of issue prior to the original move from McLaren to McLaren (racing) - which apart from anything is a dreadful title all by itself as there are many different kinds of racing, foot, horse, motorcycle, yacht, etc. As it was this deeply flawed move, made without any hint of discussion that triggered this discussion, this needs to be abandoned, and the original move reverted, then the editor concerned can raise the issues of why McLaren should not be the article name for the F1 team. --Falcadore (talk) 22:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Two points. Firstly, I assume Stevertigo is new to Wikipedia. Please read WP:CONSENSUS and WP:NAME. The new name given to the McLaren article does not meet the requirements of WP:NAME, since it is extremely ambiguous, and no concensus was reached, or even attempted, for making the move. The second point is that the McLaren team is definitely the primary motorsport occupant of that name, as pointed out above, the other uses are clearly defined in their own right, and the team is the most suitable parent article for the others. The results of a google search strongly support this. 4u1e (talk) 06:16, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Move everything back. The racing team is the primary meaning. Readro (talk) 09:20, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't see a single argument outlined here in favour of keeping this move. I suggest a proper request to move everything back to how it was. Then, we can have a discussion to rearrange things if anyone has a sensible argument to put forward. Bretonbanquet (talk) 12:32, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Move it all back. As per User:Readro. Cs-wolves  (talk)  16:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

 * You all appear to be under some misconceptions about how articles should be named and what disambiguation is about. In reality I see only opinion and opprobrium, not argument, in answer to my question above, which I will repeat in a different form: What makes the racing entity more 'canonical' than the car (overpriced, but notable), the company (which supercedes both), or the person, who seeded and thus in a certain respect supercedes all of the above entities? Taking it further, what actual argument supports the view that McLaren (pick an entity) is sufficiently canonical in its own right to supercede the personal name itself, or else a standard disambiguation page? In reality, "McLaren" by itself is a personal human name of Scottish origin, and is otherwise meaningless without context that amends the name with another concept (corporation, group, individual, tricycle, etc.). I understand that racing fans might eat and sleep in that context, but it should go without saying that the rest of us don't. I've got other things to do. -Stevertigo 15:34, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You seem to be utterly ignoring the point that you were obliged to have this discussion before making such a move. If you want to question the way something is arranged, then do so, rather than crashing into something you clearly know nothing about and renaming an important article in an inappropriate way. Perhaps you'd like to supply an argument that proves your points? You can also explain what you mean by "canonical" in this context. If you have other things to do, I for one hope that those things don't include ignoring guidelines and causing mayhem somewhere else as you have done here. I suggest you also read Talk:McLaren (racing). Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Here are some user traffic statistics for the various "McLaren / MacLaren" articles, purely to give an idea of how many visits each article gets. Figures are for May 2009.

Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * McLaren F1 - 62,400
 * McLaren - 33,818
 * McLaren Automotive - 6675
 * McLaren Group - 3737
 * McLaren Technology Centre - 1520
 * Maclaren - 1246
 * McLaren Vale - 894
 * Clan MacLaren - 873
 * McLaren Park - 565
 * The McLaren Building - 325
 * McLaren (surname) - 232
 * McLaren Applied Technologies - 156
 * MacLaren (surname) - 128
 * McLaren Flat, South Australia - 102

 * I could only hope these other things you have to do is reading up on all the wikipedia policies and guidelines you've ignored to make this spectaculary inept point. While you might have had a good faith point in the beginning you methodology was wrong and the your destination was wrong, neither of those point has anything to do with the objections personal preferences. I also find it insulting that you have decided to tar anyone who objects to your actions as being 'fans', its as if you feel you can belittle the objections against by labelling these hardworking edittors with anoraks and Star Trek badges. If you have so many other supposedly more important things to do than to justify your actions, why are you working on wikipedia at all? --Falcadore (talk) 20:36, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * @Stevertigo, you say that there is no response to the move here other than "opinion and opprobium". Given that you made a fairly major move without following standard Wikipedia protocols, I think you should perhaps be expecting the opprobium. I initially thought you must be new here, but since you're a longstanding editor, there's really no excuse for your actions. It would probably help if you at least admitted your error there.
 * That of course has nothing to do with the merits of your arguments for the page move, so in response to your questions:
 * Q. What makes the racing entity more 'canonical' than the car (overpriced, but notable), the company (which supercedes both), or the person, who seeded and thus in a certain respect supercedes all of the above entities? A. Neither the car (McLaren F1) or the person (Bruce McLaren) share a name, common or official, with the team. Both have different and obvious natural names; the parent company (McLaren Group) only supercedes the F1 team in terms of organisational structure and is far less notable (supported by google results, and to be honest, common sense), smaller and much younger than the F1 team.
 * Q. what actual argument supports the view that McLaren (pick an entity) is sufficiently canonical in its own right to supercede the personal name itself, or else a standard disambiguation page? A. It probably doesn't make sense to use the surname as the most common use. It seems unlikely that anyone will be searching for just the surname: most likely they will have a whole name that they wish to search for. The google results given above support this contention, in that the F1 team is by far the most common search result. As another way of looking at it, do we give surnames priority in other cases of ambiguity?
 * Turning this on its head, please provide your supporting evidence that there was a problem of ambiguity in the first place, or that some other entity is equally notable to the team? I look forward to your response. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 21:37, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Everyone above has up to now vociferously declared that the racing outfit is the canonical entity, and that the singular name most frequently and colloquially refers to the racing entity. User:Breton.. above did a straightforward traffic search which nullifies this conjecture entirely, showing instead that the car is the most searched for entity, not the racing outfit. The proportion between car and name is almost double.

4u above appears to suggest that those who viewed the name article were looking for the racing entity. But if they were looking for anything "McLaren" they might have been inconvenienced with racing outfit page, before getting to where they really wanted to go. So, its not possible to say that those page views were satisfactory for the end user. In fact, now it would be a good way to test whether as many people were really looking for the racing outfit at all: We will keep things as they are, and wait for the traffic results to see who deliberately chooses the racing entity article.

Its especially notable that my opposition has changed its argument. It means that the concepts upon which they based their reproach of my actions, were not correct to begin with, and that future arguments will probably find similar failings. Note also that while its possible that the car might be the canonical "McLaren," its not the actual name of the car and thus that article is fine where it is. Are there any other concerns anyone would like to share? Thank you Breton for the info. -Stevertigo 08:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

 * May I (humbly) suggest that the mere opposition that this move has revealed was reason enough not to move it in the first place without prior discussion? Beyond that, many people may believe McLaren F1 is the name of the team, and so searched there first, and were directed to the team page. 4u1e, and many others above, are correct in their view that the team does not share its name with people of the McLaren surname, and that people who know the last name generally know the first. Failing that, a simple hatnote on the top of team page linked to McLaren (disambiguation) suffices to solve any and all problems with articles with similar names. Aptery  gial  10:24, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think I can clarify one or two things about the stats I posted. Of the 33,000-odd people who visited McLaren, it seems that they were happy with what they saw, because very very few of them went on to visit other pages, particularly the surname pages that have been so highly promoted. If those people, when faced with the article about the F1 team, had wished to see some other article, the figures for that other article would have been a lot higher. Instead, the figures for the others are negligible.
 * The other point to make is that "McLaren F1" is not only the name of the car, but also a very likely search term for the F1 team, and the 62,000-odd hits for McLaren F1 will certianly include people looking for the F1 team. These figures prove beyond any reasoned argument that the McLaren F1 article is fine where it is, and the F1 team article should be at McLaren, where 33,000 people expected to find it. This figure seems confirmed in the light of comparable F1 team articles like 47,000 hits for Scuderia Ferrari and 66,000 for Brawn GP. I'll add that the chances of the F1 team article remaining at McLaren (racing) are zero. Bretonbanquet (talk) 13:45, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

As in the meantime the main team article moved back to McLaren, succeeding in its move it has made this discussion rather moot. I propose that we close this move discussion. --Falcadore (talk) 23:51, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Seconded. This move clearly had minimal support anyway. Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:02, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Primary topic
Click through to McLaren to verify the primary topic. Use WP:RM to move McLaren elsewhere and move the dab to the base name. See WP:MOSDAB for how primary topics are handled on disambiguation pages. -- JHunterJ (talk) 21:02, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I've seen the edit war going on here today – bringing it here is the only way to resolve this. Not sure what the actual problem is. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:10, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Either
 * The race team is the primary topic, and the dab page starts off with that definition and then goes on to "may also refer to", or
 * (After a RM) the race team is no longer the primary topic and the clan is primary, so the dab page starts with that definition and goes on to "McLaren may also refer to", or
 * (After a RM) there is no primary topic and the dab page is moved to "McLaren" and starts off with "McLaren may refer to:".
 * So as it stands, before any page moves, the dab page is correctly formatted in this version.  Pam  D  22:09, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I don't think there's a debate about the primary topic; as far as I can see, it's about the formatting of the dab page. As PamD says, the version she links to is correct. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:31, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * If we want to discuss the primary topic, that should begin here on the talk page as is a separate topic from formatting (just to not conflate the two valid discussions). The DAB is formatted correctly per PamD and JHunterJ (as is current). Widefox ; talk 19:29, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I moved the partial matches to the bottom (although I can understand a manufacturer with few models might have them listed here, but a SIA might be the place for them). As I prefer sections more than the other editors, and many of us have looked at this page, I won't mind if others change this. Widefox ; talk 19:53, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

McLaren Vale (disambiguation)
An edit adding the following entry to the page was removed for the following reasons: * McLaren Vale, two locations in South Australia

 * 1) McLaren Vale (disambiguation) was created to deal with the problem of articles being linked to the wrong article, i.e. going to and McLaren Vale, South Australia which was missing from the page. Therefore, it was reasonable to remove McLaren Vale from the page after McLaren Vale (disambiguation) was added to 'See also'.
 * 2) Also, the removed entry does not appear to comply with the requirements of WikiProject Disambiguation, i.e. no piped links.

Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 03:30, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 * I added the link because I feel that relegating McLaren Vale and McLaren Vale, South Australia to a link to a disambiguation page in the "See also" section makes them unnecessarily harder to find for readers who arrive at this page looking for a place they've heard of called "McLaren " in South Australia.
 * My preferred solution is for McLaren Vale and McLaren Vale, South Australia to be listed explicitly in the "Places" section (as in this version of the page) but that was changed, so I tried adding the link to McLaren Vale (disambiguation) in the "Places" section as an alternative.
 * I also note that the handling of the two "McLaren Vale"s seems inconsistent with the handling of the two "McLaren Park"s: both of those are accessible though the McLaren Park disambiguation page, yet both are explicitly listed in the "Places" section of this page.
