Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport

Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport is a public-use airport located in Broomfield, Colorado, United States. The airport is owned and operated by Jefferson County and is situated midway between Denver and Boulder on U.S. Highway 36. It is located 16 mi northwest of the central business district of Denver, and is the closest airport to downtown Denver. The airport covers 1700 acre and has three runways. Formerly known as Jefferson County Airport or Jeffco Airport, the airport was renamed Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport on October 10, 2006, although it is sometimes referred to as Rocky Mountain Regional Airport, e.g., on 2007–2012 county planning documents.

This airport is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorizes it as a reliever airport. It is home to a large general aviation population including a fair amount of corporate traffic and several flight schools. The airport's proximity to the nearby Interlocken business district contributes to its business traveler clientele. It has a control tower on 118.6 (local) and 121.7 (ground) that is open from 0600 to 2200 local time. ATIS/AWOS broadcasts on 126.25. There are three runways—12/30 Left and Right and 3/21. The runway numbers were changed in November 2014 to reflect a change in magnetic variation. Two fixed-base operators (FBOs) offer fuel and other services.

History
On February 7, 2012, the Federal Aviation Administration dedicated a new $23.7 million, state-of-the-art airport traffic control tower, located south of the airport runways. The new facility includes a 124-foot-tall control tower topped by a 525-square-foot tower cab with four air traffic controller positions and one supervisor position. A 6,000-square-foot, single-story base building houses administrative offices, training rooms, and equipment rooms.

In the summer of 2018, Pilatus Aircraft officially launched operations out of their newly constructed hangar located on the southwest corner of the airfield.

In the spring of 2018, the airport signed a lease agreement with a second FBO, SheltAir, to act as their "gateway to the west". SheltAir commenced operations in February 2019 with a temporary modular building located at the East Ramp area. Construction for the permanent building and hangar was expected to commence in the spring of 2019.

There exists a vacant tract of airport-owned land just southwest of the runways. As of 2015, there is a 30-year master plan by a development company to redevelop the area, known as Verve Innovation Park, for various aviation- and non-aviation-related uses.

Facilities and aircraft
Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport covers an area of 1,700 acres (688 ha) at an elevation of 5,673 ft above mean sea level. It has three asphalt paved runways: 12L/30R is 9,000 by; 12R/30L is 7,002 by; 3/21 is 3,600 by.

The airport's three runways, previously 11L/29R, 11R/29L, and 2/20, were renumbered in November 2014 in order to align them with magnetic directions. At the same time, the primary runway (12L/30R) underwent an $8.83 million renovation.

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2022, the airport had 262,348 aircraft operations, an average of 718 per day: 95% general aviation, 4% air taxi, <1% military and <1% air carrier. At that time there were 476 aircraft based at this airport: 341 single-engine, 70 multi-engine, 43 jet, 21 helicopter, and 1 glider.

Two fixed-base operators (FBOs) operate at the airport: Signature Flight Support and Sheltair. The United States Forest Service also maintains its Jefferson County Tanker Base at the airport. On July 13, 2016, Pilatus Aircraft broke ground on a new 188,000 sq. ft. North American completion center for the new PC-24 business jet. The facility became fully operational in June 2018.

In December of 2019, ATP Flight School opened its second Denver, Colorado training center at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. The other training facility is located at Centennial Airport.

Airlines and destinations
The airport was formerly a hub for Pet Airways before ceasing all flights in early 2013. Denver Air Connection also operated from RMMA to Grand Junction before consolidating their operations for the Denver–Grand Junction route to Centennial Airport in May 2017.

Accidents and incidents

 * On July 1, 1997, A North American F-86 Sabre performing at an air show crashed killing the pilot. No spectators were hurt.
 * On July 17, 2022, A Cessna 336 twin-engine plane operated by Bluebird Aviation went down outside of Boulder, Colorado. The pilot and the three victims departed from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport on a sightseeing trip to the mountains around Boulder, Colorado. Killed in the crash was the pilot, who was not immediately identified by authorities, 48-year-old Sandra Kirby of Louisiana, and her two children, 17-year-old Ian Kirby, and 13-year-old Amanda Kirby. The cause of the Colorado crash is under investigation.
 * On September 18, 2022, a Cessna 172 that took off from this airport with two people on a training flight, collided in Boulder County with a Sonex aircraft that had taken off from the Platte Valley Airpark with only one person on board, its pilot.

Into the Night (1985 film)

Into the Night is a 1985 American black comedy action thriller film directed by John Landis, starring Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer. The film focuses on an insomniac aerospace engineer (Goldblum), who is approached by a jewel smuggler (Pfeiffer) whose life is in danger, on the run from several international foes.

The film was a box office and critical failure, with critics noting that the large number of cameo appearances by Landis's friends and colleagues was unnecessary and distracting.

Plot
Upon discovering that his wife is having an affair, aerospace engineer and depressed insomniac Ed Okin drives to LAX on his friend Herb's suggestion. There, he is surprised by a beautiful jewel smuggler, Diana, who jumps into his car and begs him to drive her away from four Iranian SAVAK agents who are chasing her. She persuades him to drive her to various locations, and he becomes embroiled in her predicament. After becoming increasingly exasperated with her demands, he discovers that Diana has smuggled priceless emeralds from the Shah of Iran's treasury into the country, and is being pursued by a variety of international assailants.

The couple's caper gets increasingly out of hand, until Diana is eventually taken hostage by the thugs at the airport; here, Ed shares his ennui with the man holding a gun to Diana's head. The man shoots himself, instead. Taken to a motel room by federal agents, one of whom gives them a briefcase with US$750,000 (equivalent to $ million in ) in cash from one of Diana's wealthy friends. Diana showers and Ed finally sleeps. He wakes up after a full night's rest to an empty hotel room, with most of the money gone. However, when he leaves the room, Diana is waiting for him, with the money, a smile, and a request for a ride to the airport.

Cameo appearances
In addition to Landis, the film's director, appearing as one of the SAVAK agents, he invited numerous filmmakers, actors and musicians to make cameo appearances in the film:
 * Jack Arnold, director of science-fiction films, including It Came from Outer Space (1953), ‘’Creature from the Black Lagoon’’(1954), the man with the nice dog in the elevator
 * Rick Baker, Academy Award-winning make-up artist on An American Werewolf in London (1981), as the drug dealer
 * Paul Bartel, director of low-budget films, including Eating Raoul (1982), as Beverly Wilshire Hotel doorman
 * David Cronenberg, as Ed Okin's group supervisor.
 * Jonathan Demme, who at the time had directed a number of lower-budget and exploitation films, as the thin federal agent with glasses
 * Richard Franklin, Australian director of Roadgames (1981), as the aerospace engineer sitting next to Herb in the cafeteria
 * Carl Gottlieb, who co-wrote Jaws (1975), as the large federal agent with moustache.
 * Amy Heckerling, director of Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), as "Amy", the clumsy waitress.
 * Jim Henson, creator of The Muppets, as the man on the phone talking to 'Bernie' (likely a reference to Henson's manager Bernie Brillstein, who had also executive-produced The Blues Brothers and Spies Like Us for Landis).
 * Colin Higgins, who wrote Harold and Maude (1971) and directed The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), as the actor in the hostage film
 * Lawrence Kasdan, writer and director of Body Heat (1981), as the police detective who interrogates Bud
 * Jonathan Lynn, co-writer of Yes Minister, as the tailor who fits the SAVAK agents

 * Dedee Pfeiffer, actress and sister of Michelle Pfeiffer, as the hooker
 * Waldo Salt, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Midnight Cowboy (1969) and Coming Home (1978), as the derelict who informs Ed of his car having been towed
 * Don Siegel, director of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and Dirty Harry (1971), as the man caught with a girl in the hotel bathroom
 * "Blue" Lou Marini, saxophonist, in the airport crowd
 * Roger Vadim, writer and film director ...And God Created Woman as Monsieur Melville

Members of the production crew also had cameos:
 * Wes Dawn, makeup artist, and Christopher Dunn George, camera operator, appear as LAPD cops who remind Ed of the green light on his way to the airport
 * Eddy Donno, stunt coordinator, as LAPD officer
 * Sue Dugan, costumer, as Freeway Driver
 * William B. Kaplan, sound mixer, David Sosna, assistant director, Saul Kahan, unit publicist, as grip, assistant director, and publicist of the hostage film
 * Robert Paynter, director of photography, as Security Guard

Production
The film was greenlit by Sean Daniel, president of Universal; he was the executive who had championed Landis on National Lampoon's Animal House. Three weeks into the 60-day shoot, Landis was ordered to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter arising out of the Twilight Zone shoot. Daniel told the press he thought Landis and his colleagues had been "unfairly sent to trial for what is obviously a human catastrophe, not a criminal act."

Critical reception
Into The Night has a rating of 40% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 25 critics' reviews, indicating a mixed critical reception. The critical consensus reads: "Despite its two stellar leads, Into the Night finds director John Landis indulging in far too many gimmicks in lieu of a well-rounded story." Vincent Canby in The New York Times wrote: "A little bit of Into The Night is funny, a lot of it is grotesque and all of it has the insidey manner of a movie made not for the rest of us, but for moviemakers on the Bel Air circuit who watch each other's films in their own screening rooms." He reserved praise, however, for the performances of the two leading actors: "Mr. Goldblum does little except react to the outrages of others, which he manages with a good deal of comic poise. Miss Pfeiffer, last seen as Al Pacino's cocaine-zonked wife in Scarface, is so beautiful that one is apt not to notice that she has the potential for being a fine comedienne." Variety held a similar view, writing that the "film itself tries sometimes too hard for laughs and at other times strains for shock", while also praising the performance of Jeff Goldblum, "nonetheless enjoyable as he constantly tries to figure out just what he's doing in all of this."

Some critics saw the large number of cameo appearances by Landis's friends and colleagues as unnecessary and distracting. Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times wrote: "If I had been the agent for one of the stars, like Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Richard Farnsworth, or Kathryn Harrold, I think I would have protested to the front office that Landis was engaging in cinematic autoeroticism and that my clients were getting lost in the middle of the family reunion." Time Out wrote: "The casting of innumerable major film-makers in small roles seems an unnecessary bit of elbow-jogging, but David Bowie makes an excellent contribution as an English hit man, and the two leading players are excellent: Pfeiffer in particular takes the sort of glamorous yet preposterous part that generally defeats even the best actress and somehow contrives to make it credible every inch of the way."

Despite negative reviews, John Landis is very pleased with the movie: "Into the Night was my first box-office failure, and that was quite surprising to me, because I hadn’t done anything different. It was dark. And that's another thing; critics don’t like it when you fuck with genre. It's the opposite of high concept. High concept is when you can explain [the movie] in one sentence, but when things get muddled, they’re confused. I like Into the Night.; It's got a wonderful cast."

Into The Night won the Special Jury Prize at the 1985 Festival du Film Policier de Cognac.

Soundtrack
The score for Into the Night was written by Ira Newborn (tracks "Enter Shaheen" and "Century City Chase"). Newborn also composed two new songs for the film soundtrack, "Into the Night" and "My Lucille" (both performed by blues singer B.B. King) and also arranged the classic song "In the Midnight Hour". The vinyl edition of this soundtrack included two songs composed by Ira Newborn, which are not included on the film soundtrack: "Don't Make Me Sorry" (co-written by Joe Esposito), performed by Patti La Belle, and "Keep It Light" (co-written by Reginald "Sonny" Burke), performed by Thelma Houston. The official edition of the soundtrack also includes the songs "Let's Get It On", performed by Marvin Gaye (who was murdered by his father the previous year), and "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)", performed by the Four Tops, both of which appeared during the film. No CD of this soundtrack has been issued, but all songs performed by B.B. King on the film soundtrack are available on Classic B.B.King CD (from "The Universal Masters Collection").

On the vinyl edition, John Landis quotes about the film soundtrack: I presented Ira Newborn with the problem, compose a motion picture score to feature a particular player and not compromise his unique talents or integrity of the movie. The film is Into the Night, the player, B.B. King.

Hosokawa Takakuni

Hosokawa Takakuni (細川 高国, 1484 – 17 July 1531) was the most powerful military commander in the Muromachi period under Ashikaga Yoshiharu, the twelfth shōgun. His father was Hosokawa Masaharu, a member of the branch of the Hosokawa clan. His childhood name was Rokuro (六郎).

In 1507, Hosokawa Masamoto was killed by his foster son, Hosokawa Sumiyuki who had been disinherited by Masamoto. Takakuni supported Hosokawa Sumimoto and got credit for putting down Sumiyuki. Because of that, he got involved with the Muromachi shogunate. In 1508, when Ōuchi Yoshioki marched his armies into Kyoto with Ashikaga Yoshitane (the former shōgun who had escaped to Suō Province), Takakuni conspired with them and purged the shogun Ashikaga Yoshizumi and Sumimoto to Ōmi Province.

Takakuni and Yoshioki took hold of the Muromachi shogunate. Takakuni took over as head of the Hosokawa family and became Kanrei. In addition, he also held the post of shugo of Settsu Province, Tanba Province, Sanuki Province and Tosa Province. In 1518, he monopolized the powers of the shogunate after Yoshioki went back to his domain. In 1521, Yoshitane hated to be a puppet shogun, and escaped to Awa Province. Takakuni made Ashikaga Yoshiharu, son of Yoshizumi, take up the post of shogun.

Takakuni took Yanagimoto Kataharu, the younger brother of Kozai Motomori, chief vassal of the Hosokawa people, as his wakashū and the two swore eternal love to each other. Kataharu, even after reaching adulthood, remained a favorite vassal. However, as a result of a calumny by his own cousin, Takakuni felt obliged to have Motomori killed. Though initially appeased by his lord, Yanagimoto shortly after joined with another brother against the cousin to avenge Motomori's death.

In 1527, he was purged from Kyoto by Miyoshi Motonaga and Hosokawa Harumoto. In 1531, his army was defeated, and he hid in a store room for alcoholic beverage at Amagasaki, Settsu Province. When he was detected, he committed suicide.

Lemuel Grant

Lemuel Pratt Grant (1817–1893) was an American engineer and businessman. He was Atlanta's quintessential railroad man as well as a major landowner and civic leader. In railroads he served as a laborer, chief engineer, speculator and executive all over the South. As part of his speculation, he owned enormous tracts of land in strategic areas. For example, at one point he owned more than 600 acre in what is now Atlanta. He designed and built Atlanta's defenses during the American Civil War and afterwards became an important civic leader: donating the land for Grant Park, Atlanta's first large park, and serving as councilman and on various boards and committees. His mansion is one of only four remaining original antebellum houses in the city of Atlanta.

Early career
Lemuel Pratt Grant was born at Frankfort, Maine, on August 11, 1817. He grew up on a farm and between twelve and nineteen years of age worked on the farm and in a village store. When nineteen years old, he became a rodman in the Engineer Corps of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, then under construction. By study and hard work, he made his way and in one year became assistant engineer.

In 1840, he was given the position of assistant engineer of the Georgia Railroad, under John Edgar Thomson, the chief engineer. His part of engineers located the line between Madison and Atlanta in 1840. In 1841, he became assistant in the engineer corps of the Central Railroad, of which L.O. Reynolds was the chief engineer, but in 1843 returned to the Georgia Railroad and served it until the grading was completed to Marthasville.

By 1844 he was buying large tracts of Atlanta real estate, mainly in the Third Ward. Two of LP's grandsons Laurel and Bryan, Sr. were successful real estate brokers and developers.

In 1845, L.P. Grant became the chief engineer and superintendent of the Montgomery and West Point Railroad and remained with that road until 1848, when its track was laid as far as Opelika, Alabama. He then again returned to the services of the Georgia Railroad, this time as resident engineer, which position he held until 1853. for two years of that period he was also chief engineer of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad.

From 1853 to 1858, he was engaged in railroad construction contracts in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. In 1858, he was elected president of the Southern Pacific Company of Texas, and was succeeded by J. Edgar Thompson in 1859.

In 1859 and 1860, he was engaged as engineer of surveys and location of proposed roads in Alabama and Georgia but those were suspended on the approach of the [Civil] war.

In 1862, [C.S.A] Colonel Grant was appointed a captain of engineers for the Confederacy and retained that position to the end of the [Civil] War. His most important work was the construction of the defensive works around Atlanta and Augusta.

From October, 1866 to 1881, Colonel Grant was in charge of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad as General Superintendent. For a time, he was President of the Georgia Western Road, later the Georgia Pacific, and now the Southern Railway's line [source written in 1934] from Atlanta to Birmingham.

In 1875, he was appointed receiver for the Georgia part of the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line with about 100 miles of track. In 1881, he became President of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad and two years later, President of the Western Railroad of Atlanta. Both positions he held until 1887.

In 1844 and 1846, when Atlanta was known as Marthasville, Colonel Grant bought land lots 52, 53, and 44, containing about six hundred acres. For one of those lots he is said to have paid a dollar and a half per acre. That land was later worth an immense sum.

In 1883, Colonel Grant gave the City [of Atlanta] a later purchase containing [over] 100 acres of beautiful land for park purposes. It is known as Grant Park, and the City [of Atlanta] has added to his original gift by the purchase of some adjoining land.

Colonel Grant was an early advocate of the Public School System and a member of the first Board of Education elected in 1869. He was also a charter member of the Young Men's Library and its first life member.

From 1860, Colonel Grant was a member of Central Presbyterian Church and took an active part in its work.

He was married in December 1843, to Miss Laura Loomis Williams, a daughter of Ammi Williams. She died in 1879, leaving four children. In 1881, he married Mrs. Jane L. Crew of Atlanta. John Armstrong Grant, a railroad manager of Texas and early founding member of Grady Hospital, was the son of the first marriage.

Colonel L.P. Grant is of no relation to either of the persons named John T. Grant or John W. Grant, nor their descendants. It is but a happy coincidence that Bryan M. Grant, Sr, and John W. Grant, were both successful Atlanta real estate developers and were also contemporaneous colleagues to one another. Of further note, there is no printed reference about L.P. Grant ever coming to prominence by working as a laborer on the Georgia Railroad, working for the Fannin Company, or working for any companies based in Augusta Ga. There are many erroneous statements in railroad related articles about these relationships. One can only imagine that there being several prominent Grants, and not of the same family, that some confusion has persisted down through the years.

The cited reference   of Walter Cooper's Official History of Fulton County was written by an appointment by the Georgia Grant Jury "in Pursuance to Legislative Action" and published in 1934. The History Commission of that time was composed of Ivan Allen, chairman, Henry C. Peeples, Dr. Louie D. Newton, Miss Ella May Thornton, and Miss Alice Baxter.

In 1843 Grant invested in land in what is now southeast Atlanta, paying from $.75 to $2 an acre, and built his home in the center of his 600+ acres. In 1883, he donated 108 acre east and southeast of his mansion to the city for a park on condition that would be open and available free of charge to residents of any race, creed or color. His family then developed the surrounding neighborhoods, as evidenced by street signs named after family and friends of the family (Bryan Street, Grant Street, Loomis Street, Broyles Street, etc.). Lake Abana, where the zoo food court now exists below the panda exhibit, would have been witness to a crowd of bathers of any race, racial segregation not descending upon Atlanta until a decade or two later. During this idyllic period of relative stability of racial tension, Grant opened a trolley line between downtown and the park.

Banker
On January 27, 1857, Grant founded the Atlanta Bank with John Mims, William Ezzard, Clark Howell, Sr., Jonathan Norcross, Richard Peters, Joseph Winship and N.L. Angier. They were warned of Chicagoan George Smith who was planning on flooding Midwest banks with Georgia currency so avoided that scandal but eventually went broke and their charter was revoked in 1856. Grant would try banking again in the 1870s.

Heading west
In 1853, he and John T. Grant headed to New Orleans to work on the Cotton Belt Railroad (then the Jackson and Great Northern Railroad). In 1857, Fannin, Grant & Co [These possibly the Athens Ga Grants, JT and WD Grant, contractors. Neither are related to LP Grant.] as became contractors to the Southern Pacific Railroad to link Marshall, Texas, to the West Coast, and the next year Lemuel P. Grant was named president of Southern Pacific. Back in Atlanta in 1860, he and Richard Peters pushed a Georgia Western Railroad against Jonathan Norcross's Air Line.

''From 1853 to 1858, he was engaged in railroad construction contracts in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. In 1858, he was elected president of the Southern Pacific Company of Texas, and was succeeded by J. Edgar Thompson in 1859. ''

Civil War
Before the American Civil War, Grant gave land on Jenkins Street for Atlanta's first black church, Bethel Church (now Big Bethel Baptist Church), and defended the church's right to the property after the war.

The beginning of the war saw Grant still in Louisiana. In February 1861, Fannin, Grant & Co sold out to the Southern Pacific, and Grant returned to Atlanta. After the Vicksburg Campaign, Confederate Chief of the Engineer Bureau Jeremy Gilmer contacted him to survey possible enemy crossings of the Chattahoochee River, and defensive works were begun in August, 1863. Grant explained that the fortification of Atlanta would be as difficult as that of Richmond, Virginia. Grant planned a series of 17 redoubts forming a 10 mi circle over 1 mi out from the center of town. It was bounded on the north on high ground (present location of the Fox Theatre), on the west by Ashby Street, on the south by McDonough Drive and on the east by Grant Park. Gilmer inspected the completed work in December 1863. Because of how the Battle of Atlanta unfolded, these fortifications were never really put to the test, the city's Mayor Calhoun capitulating to the siege after the railways to Macon were seized by Union forces and Confederate General John Bell Hood was forced to destroy his ammunition train after the Union victory at Jonesborough.

After the war
The most important shopping area in town was Broad Street and Market Street which were separated by the railroads. A wooden bridge had been built to span the distance; when it burned, Grant designed and built a new one which was completed in July 1865. He was superintendent of the Western & Atlantic and Atlanta & West Point Railroads. In June 1867, he was on the first committee to name streets in Atlanta with Winship and former mayor William Ezzard. In 1870, he was part of the committee to lure Oglethorpe University to Atlanta from Midway. In 1873, he organized the Bank of the State of Georgia. Throughout the 1870s he represented the Third Ward in council and served on the Atlanta Board of Education and in the 1880s he served as water commissioner [Correction: His son John A, served as water commissioner ]. In 1882 he donated roughly 100 acre in Land Lot 43 for Grant Park, current home of the Cyclorama and ZooAtlanta, later named in his honor, and the deed was issued May 17, 1883.

In 1884, he chartered Westview Cemetery with former mayor James W. English where he was buried after his death in 1893, a highly respected founding father of Atlanta.

Family
Grant married Laura Loomis Williams, daughter of prominent DeKalb County businessman Ammi Williams, in 1843. They had four children: John Armstrong Grant, Myra B. Grant, Lemuel Pratt Grant, Jr., and Letitia "Lettie" H. Grant.

He is survived by several descendants who currently reside in the Atlanta area and elsewhere. Of note, Bryan M. "Bitsy" Grant, Jr. is his great-grandson, and achieved many remarkable feats as a world-renowned tennis athlete, honored in several Halls of Fame, including the International Tennis Hall of Fame. The City of Atlanta recognized him during the 1950s by naming a premier tennis center in his honor on Northside Parkway, Bitsy Grant Tennis Center.

Grant Mansion in Grant Park
The 1856 Lemuel P. Grant Mansion is one of only three antebellum houses within the current city limits of Atlanta that are still standing in their original locations, and is by far the closest to the city limits in the 1860s. The mansion was owned by Lemuel P. Grant, Atlanta's quintessential railroad man as well as a major landowner and civic leaderafter. Grant donated the land for Grant Park, which was named for him.

The three-story mansion was built in Italianate style in 1856. Union troops burning Atlanta in 1864 spared it because Masonic paraphernalia was found there, and the troops had been instructed not to harm the homes of Masons. In December 2001, the Atlanta Preservation Center purchased the house for $109,000; restoration of, and improvements to the house and grounds are ongoing.

Bobby Jones, the legendary golfer, was born in this home while the Jones family was in town visiting from Canton, GA.

L.P. Grant's great-grandson, Bryan M. "Bitsy" Grant, the famed tennis player named to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, grew up in this home until the family moved to Ansley Park along 17th Street. Bobby Jones, grandson, Bobby Jones IV is an Anglican priest in Athens Ga.

In December 2001 Townsend announced that, contrary to his earlier public statements, a new Strapping Young Lad album would be released in 2002. He emphasized that he was not "forcing" his product upon fans to generate record sales, arguing that his band—and its contract with Century—was never a lucrative endeavour. Instead, Townsend's motivation was the "creative anger" sparked by the September 11, 2001 attacks and further cultivated during their 2001 tour, although Townsend would later downplay this as a factor. For the first time, the album would be a product of collaborative writing; the band wrote "about half" of the material on the 2001 Foot in Mouth Tour, and the rest at home, starting January 2002. After playing a small number of festivals in 2002, Strapping Young Lad entered the studio in September of that year, to record their third album.

Music
Initial writing for the album reached as far back as 2000, when the track "Idom" was released on the soundtrack for Tekkōki Mikazuki; this is a demo containing pieces later used for "Dire," "Consequence," and "Aftermath." The album's sound was somewhat of a departure from Strapping Young Lad's previous albums, Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing and City. Devin Townsend's vocals contain much more singing than before but also a lot of death growls and screaming, and rather than the blinding extreme metal/industrial metal styled songs of Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing and City, many of the songs were structured and produced in a manner more akin to traditional death metal. The overall tone is darker and more serious in nature and contains less overt tongue-in-cheek humour than other SYL releases. The raw production style in particular is different from other records Devin has produced; he would later on call the album "murky" and "dreadful sounding" and claimed that he "phoned [it] in". The slightly different sound on this album can in part be attributed to the fact that second guitarist Jed Simon plays the vast majority of rhythm guitars. This was due to Townsend's concurrent production and recording of Accelerated Evolution by The Devin Townsend Band, which was released only a few weeks later. In an interview with Enslain Magazine, drummer Gene Hoglan had this to say about the more raw sound on the album " the next album came out in 2003 and that was the self-titled "SYL", that was a little more raw bare-bones record, we didn't want to repeat "City", because "City" was like sample-heavy, and totally, we were being called an industrial band and all that sort of bullshit, and by the time we did "SYL", we liked being a metal band, so it was just a pretty raw metal record, not over-the-top samples or keyboards, or even the vocals weren't layered, and so that brought us to 2004 when we started writing "Alien".

Release and critical reception
Strapping Young Lad was released on February 11, 2003, and became the band's first charting album, entering Billboard's Top Heatseekers at No. 97. The album received moderate critical success. Nate Smith from Rockzone.com called it a "solid addition to the Townsend catalog", but "not an instant classic". Xander Hoose from Chronicles of Chaos called it "a good album", but said that it is inferior to City. Alec A. Head of Satan Stole My Teddybear wasn't impressed, writing, "Sadly, the songwriting putters out into a flaccid, heartless, faux-epic quagmire of riffs that have no destination, vocals that lack the ferocity and pure, unadulterated anger and emotion that Townsend exhibited on City, and an altogether forced, cold, and directionless sense of songwriting." Strapping Young Lad differed from Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing and City in that it was less industrial and more reminiscent of death metal; the humour pervading the previous two albums became more subdued.

Talk:River Westbourne

Contradiction?
The article says that "The river leaves the Serpentine by the cascade at the Eastern end of that lake", but earlier it states that since 1834 the water for the Serpentine was no longer supplied by the Westbourne - so how can this still be true?

Excellent
As someone who lives in the neighbourhood described in this article, I'd like to enthuse about this informative article. I've seen pictures of the Bayswater and the West Bourne, but only now understood the connection between them.

Victorian pedants
Removed "According to Victorian pedants" from the discussion of the name, since it seems to be merely an insulting reference to someone's scholarship without even including a reference to who did the research being denegrated.

I'm confused
Can this river still be seen further up stream or not? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.68.51.198 (talk) 10:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC).
 * No unfortunately not. The local authorities have little invested in surface water drains for roofs and gardens, nor a scheme better than hit-and-miss deep soakaways (the ideal, preferred private solution to prevent river pollution) so those things (and some street water surface water drainage) are placed, like the other lost rivers of London, in with the original foul drainage, and really no parallel surface water drain, which at some point could be exposed to public view, exists.  The saving grace here is the Serpentine, fed by pumped up water from deep in the water table, a nod to what existed centuries before, decent water before density of population arose.- Adam37  Talk  14:20, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Joan Whitney Payson

Joan Whitney Payson (February 5, 1903 – October 4, 1975) was an American heiress, businesswoman, philanthropist, patron of the arts and art collector, and a member of the prominent Whitney family. She co-founded, and was the majority owner of, Major League Baseball's New York Mets baseball franchise, making her the first woman to own a major league team in North America without inheriting it.

Early life
Joan Whitney was born in New York City, the daughter of William Payne Whitney and Helen Julia Hay. Her brother was John Hay Whitney. She inherited a trust fund from her grandfather, William C. Whitney and on her father's death in 1927, she received a large part of the family fortune. She attended Miss Chapin's School, then entered Barnard College with the class of 1925, as well as taking some courses at Brown.

New York Mets
Payson was a sports enthusiast who was a minority shareholder in the New York Giants Major League Baseball club. She and her husband opposed moving the team to San Francisco in 1957. After the majority of the shareholders approved the move, Mrs. Payson sold her stock and began working to get a replacement team for New York City. They teamed up with M. Donald Grant, who had represented the Paysons on the Giants board and had been the only board member to oppose the Giants' move, to win a New York franchise in the Continental League, a proposed third major league. The National League responded by awarding an expansion team to Payson's group, which became the New York Mets.

She served as the team's president from 1962 to 1975. Active in the affairs of the baseball club, she was much admired by the team's personnel and players. She was inducted posthumously into the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 1981. She was also the first woman to buy majority control of a team in a major North American sports league, rather than inheriting it.

Payson was instrumental in the return of Willie Mays to New York City baseball in May 1972 by way of trade and cash from the Giants.

Thoroughbred horse racing
Joan Whitney Payson also inherited her father and grandfather's love of thoroughbred horse racing, which ran throughout the Whitney family and created the famed Whitney Stakes. Following her father's death, her mother assumed management of his Greentree Stable, an equestrian estate and horse racing stable in Saratoga Springs, New York, and the Greentree breeding farm in Lexington, Kentucky. In 1932, her mother gave her a colt named Rose Cross whom she raced under the nom de course, Manhasset Stable. Rose Cross won the 1934 Dwyer Stakes and finished a good fifth in the Belmont Stakes.

In partnership with her brother, Joan Whitney operated the highly successful Greentree stable, winning numerous important Graded stakes races including the Kentucky Derby twice, the Preakness Stakes once, and the Belmont Stakes four times. Payson and her husband owned an art-filled 50-room mansion at Greentree, the Whitney family estate in Manhasset, New York.

Art collection
An avid art collector, she purchased a variety of artwork but favored Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works with her collection containing watercolors, drawings, and paintings. She owned numerous pieces including those by James McNeill Whistler, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Gustave Courbet, Maurice Prendergast, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, Honoré Daumier, Joshua Reynolds, Claude Monet, Henri Rousseau, Jan Provost, Édouard Manet, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Alfred Sisley and Vincent van Gogh. Payson was also a strong supporter of American artists, acquiring works by Thomas Eakins, Arthur B. Davies, Andrew Wyeth, Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent. Payson donated significant works to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City where the "Joan Whitney Payson Galleries" can be found.

The Joan Whitney Payson Collection is on permanent loan to the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, Maine and to Colby College in Waterville, Maine for one semester every two years. Regular educational tours of parts of the collection are offered to institutions throughout the United States.

In 1953, Payson co-founded The Country Art Gallery and Art School on Long Island with Clarissa Watson.

Personal life
In 1924, she married Charles Shipman Payson, a lawyer and businessman who was a native of Maine and a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law School. Together they had five children:

 * Daniel Carroll Payson (1925–1945), was killed during the Battle of the Bulge.
 * Sandra Helen Payson (1926–2004), who was married to William Meyer. They divorced and she later married Baron George Weidenfeld (1919–2016).
 * Payne Whitney Payson (b. 1927), who married Henry Bentivoglio Middleton, a direct descendant of Arthur Middleton, signer of the Declaration of Independence.
 * Lorinda Payson (b. 1931), who married Vincent de Roulet (1925–1975)
 * John Whitney Payson (1940–2016), who was married to Joanne D'Elia.

Joan Whitney Payson died in New York City, aged 72, after the 1975 baseball season. She is buried in the Pine Grove Cemetery, in Falmouth, Maine. Following her death, her daughter, Lorinda de Roulet, assumed the title of president of the New York Mets.

Her heirs sold their stock in the Mets in January 1980 as well as Greentree Farm. In 2005, the equestrian property in Saratoga Springs was put up for sale with an asking price of $19 million. In 1991, her son, John Whitney Payson, permanently installed the Joan Whitney Payson Collection in the Portland Museum of Art in Portland, Maine where the Charles Shipman Payson Building cornerstones the Museum and is home to seventeen paintings by Winslow Homer he donated.

Besides the Greentree estate in Manhasset, the family lived in an Italian Renaissance-palazzo style mansion in Manhattan later known as the Payne Whitney House. It was a wedding present from Joan's great uncle, Oliver Payne, her father's namesake, and designed by Stanford White. Located at 972 Fifth Avenue, it housed not just the family but 13 servants.

Palacio de los Deportes

Palacio de los Deportes (Sports Palace) is an indoor arena located in Mexico City, Mexico. It is within the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City complex, near the Mexico City International Airport and in front of the Foro Sol, in which sports and artistic events are also celebrated. It is operated by Grupo CIE. The palace is named after Mexican military official Juan Escutia, although it is rarely referred to in its full name.

The stadium was constructed for the 1968 Summer Olympics and opened in 1968. The arena currently has 17,800 seats and can be expanded for more for non-sports events.

Construction
The Palacio de los Deportes was constructed specifically for the basketball tournament during the 1968 Summer Olympics. However, the Palacio was designed to be a multipurpose arena. There is also a smaller pavilion on complex for expositions and concerts.

The Palacio was constructed 14 mi from the Olympic Village and 6.5 from downtown Mexico City in the Magdalena Mixhuca Sports City near the conflux of two expressways (Miguel Alemán Viaduct and Río Churubusco Interior Loop). It was built by the company ICA between October 15, 1966, and September 13, 1968, and finished construction one month before the Olympics. The Palacio is circular in design with a square-patterned dome spanning 380 ft and enclosing an area of 6.7 acre. The dome consists of hyperbolic paraboloids of tubular aluminum covered with waterproof copper-sheathed plywood and supported by huge steel arches. The Palacio originally seated 22,370, including 7,370 in removable seats. There was also a parking space for 3,864 vehicles. The structure was designed by architects Félix Candela, Enrique Castañeda Tamborel and Antonio Peyri. It has three floors, which house complete facilities for athletes, judges, officials, organizers, as well as services for radio, television and the press. A mezzanine provides access to the boxes and middle and upper stands.

The structure underwent a series of modifications during the 1990s to adjust the acoustic profile of the structure. Earlier, the facility had acquired the derisive nickname of "Palacio de los rebotes" (Palace of Reverberations) due to the way sound bounced around and echoed in it, a major problem for music concerts scheduled at the arena, and a drawback even for sports events. Various adjustments were made to compensate for these acoustic problems.

Events
The venue opened on October 8, 1968, with a performance by Maurice Béjart's Ballet of the 20th Century.

Sports
The Palacio hosted the basketball tournament during the 1968 Summer Olympics; it was also the main venue of the volleyball tournament. It was the home of the CBA Mexico City Aztecas (basketball) in 1994 and 1995, and the Mexico Toros of the CISL (indoor soccer) in 1995. On December 6, 1997, it hosted the NBA's regular season game between the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks, which ended with a 108–106 score.

Both the FIBA 1989 Tournament of the Americas and the 2015 FIBA Americas Championship were held at the Palace.

Concerts
A common use of the Palace is to host big expositions and rock or pop concerts. There have been more than 400 concerts held here throughout the years; a curated list of some of the most important ones is below.

Hi Rxs,

I was wondering, have you ever considered doing some work for the Dhivehi Wikipedia?

As you have mentioned in Oblivious talk page, Dhivehi Wikipedia is in a stage of danger. I wonder who is the sys op, if I were able to edit the frontpage. I would have translated all. And start to enrich it, but I couldn't do. because may be sys op, have the right to change frontpage. But any body who couldn't just take responsibility take those tasks. I am sure I need only one day to translate all the needed terms. Even Encyclopedia has a Dhivehi word. Encyclopedia is އެކުމާފާނު in Dhivehi. Free as you have said -- "not "free" as in "free food"." I have compared that with other Wikipedias too. Free means މިނިވަން not ހިލޭ in this place. See In french it is "l’encyclopédie libre" libre means މިނިވަން. And in Urdu it is " آزاد دائرہ المعارف ". And آزاد (Aazaadh) means މިނިވަން. And in Arabic it is "Alma"soo-a'thul H'urrathu". H'urrathu and H'urriyyathu in Arabic means މިނިވަން. Free Encyclopedia will be a މިނިވަން އެކުމާފާނު.

Hi. I would say that when reviews describe an album as having "squeezed the last remaining life out of this nearly extinct formula," "nothing more and nothing less than Hybrid Theory Part 2," and "left the reviewer 'underwhelmed,'" there is certainly basis to say there was a poor critical response.

(Also, please sign your comments on talk pages - you can do so by leaving four tildes, like so: ~ )

Thanks, and if you have any questions drop me a line! User:Premeditated Chaos 00:56, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * If we're generalizing about the critical response as a whole then we need to take everything into account. Your basis of saying that the response was poor were based on the ones labeled as average, not poor, reviews. Specifically the review from New Music Express was labeled as good. For the fact that the majority of reviews are labeled under excellent, good, or average, I don't think "poor" was a good word to use. Maybe the reviews themselves are mislabeled. Otherwise, I think maybe "lackluster" or "mediocre" would be better. Btboy500 16:48, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Lacklustre and mediocre are perfectly acceptable words. I wouldn't object if you wanted to change the phrase to say that. (Not that I would have objected in the first place, to be perfectly honest - it's not one of my "pet" articles and I don't monitor it altogether closely.) As for Talk pages...it can go either way, really. I (and most users) have no preference for where my discussions take place. Some users do, and most of them make note of that on their talk page. And as for my quote - I know. You're not the first person to notice. I'm not changing it, because that would be giving in to everyone. =P User:Premeditated Chaos 22:17, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

National Sleep Alert
Hi Ian! The article as it stood as I was on New Pages patrol last night was lacking in content (CSD-A3: "Any article whose contents consist only of links elsewhere (including hyperlinks, category tags and "see also" sections), a rephrasing of the title, and/or attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title.") and also lacking in context (CSD-A1: ''"Very short articles providing little or no context (e.g., "He is a funny man that has created Factory and the Hacienda. And, by the way, his wife is great.")."'').

More than that, it was verging on the nonsensical - the first sentence read: "There was a National Sleep Alert and America in a 1993 from the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research." And American in a 1993 from? What?

In amongst the several hundred articles created last night, this was one of 50 or so of a similar pattern that I deleted within a few seconds of it going up.

The article has since been recreated as Wake Up America: A National Sleep Alert. Whilst I still don't think this is very notable a subject for an encyclopedia, the article itself is of much higher quality. It is now has content, context and makes sense - the three things generally essential to any article.

You ask: How am I supposed to contribute information if I have to contend with that?. There are a few tips I can offer, if I may. The first thing I would suggest is to select your stub tag before you start writing. An article created with a stub tag already in place flags to the New Pages patroller that more is to be done and that the writer knows what s/he's doing. Second, I'd suggest wikilinks in the body of the article - again, it suggests to the patroller that something is going on and the article is "real" - a deadend article, or one with just a "See also" link, looks like the type of rambling the patroller will have deleted 49 times already that evening even if it isn't!

If those two options don't appeal, you can place an tag at that top of the article. Then the patroller is likely to Watchlist the article and give the writer a few days to do something with it - it doesn't make the article immune from speedy deletion, but it does slow the process down.

I'm really sorry if I caused you wikistress. I assure you that was not my intention at all and I truly apologise for doing so. I hope you will accept the attached cup of tea (I'm British) as a peace offering. ➨ ❝ R E  DVERS ❞ 09:34, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Notability of Dare Foods
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Dare Foods, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Dare Foods seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Dare Foods, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Dare Foods itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 02:44, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I have adjustment in the article itself claiming it's larger relevance, discussed it's relevance in it's talk page, and left a message alerting you of these changes this user's talk page. Nastajus 03:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi Nastajus, I went ahead and deleted the article because it is only one sentence and a link. If you want to recreate the article, feel free, but please do include references to reliable sources that show it's notable.  You can see WP:CORP for more info on what an article about a company needs to be included.  As someone mentioned, it needs to not only be notable, but have info stating that notability.  You may want to work on the article in your userspace (i.e. any page beginning with User:Nastajus/) if you want to put it together bit by bit (that way no one will delete it before it's finished).  Don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or need anything, I'm always glad to help. Peace,  delldot   talk  17:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not good at finding references. I get exhausted looking for them because I don't know where to look. I thought I would give it a head start by making the article exist, and then OTHER people would find the actual references. I'm getting wikistressed from this. That template said five days... You're early. I've left a response on user Delldot's talk page and suggested we continue this conversation there. I have left the article untouched in it's currently deleted format while I am waiting for a response from Delldot on this matter, because I disagree with his actions. Nastajus 05:54, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, sorry about that. I've undeleted it so you can fix it up.  But you should probably do it soon, or it's likely to be deleted again by someone else, since in its current state it doesn't assert notability, a requirement for all articles.  Note that making lots is not enough, it has to show that the company's received media attention.  I'd definitely do this yourself rather than hoping that someone else will do it.  You may want to copy it into your userspace so you can continue to work on it in case someone else does delete it again.  I'm all for putting imperfect articles out there for others to improve on, but you should ensure that don't meet any of the speedy deletion criteria before putting them out there.  Anyway, sorry for the wikistress, I hope the undeletion resolves it!  Let me know on my talk page if you need any help or anything.  Peace,  delldot   talk  15:30, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like both your opinions represent the majority. A third user came along and deleted it only hours after you restored it, delldot. I have no idea how to find the number of cookies they make. Looks like my stubby-stubs aren't enough for the standard here. Thanks for both taking the time to discuss with me, as per the Wikipedia policy I am familiar with. This third person, Bjelleklang, he just deleted without any discussion. I wonder if speedy deletions evolved since a year or so ago. I'm out of touch with them. Anyways, thanks. Nastajus 04:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry to hear it. If you want, you can try the userspace thing until it's up to the standard at WP:STUB and then move it to the mainspace (you can consult with me first if you're not sure it's deletion-proof yet).  The way i'd go about finding references is to do a google or a google news search.  If articles have been written about the company, it's probably notable (see WP:NOTE).  If you can't find any mentions that way, you should probably wait to create the article until the company gets more famous.  I'm not surprised that the other admin deleted it without discussion, that's quite common with speedies.  If you're interested in learning more about the speeedy deletion policy, it's at WP:CSD.  It may have evolved, I'm not sure.  Anyway, thanks for being good about it.  See you around, let me know if you need anything.  Peace,  delldot   talk  13:42, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

 * The initial enthusiasm is lost. In the future when I get that urge again I'll pass something else by you, delldot. The main problem here is me, I never reference anything. I barely ever read any of the references at the bottom for existing articles. I'm happy enough if what I'm reading seems correct, and just focus on other things, like English legibility. I probably need to partner with somebody in these situations, I am not resourceful at researching at all, not if exceeds the top 10 hits in Google. It's feels self-defeating to realize only typing this response out my own standards are lower than a stubs. It's like I'm lesser than a stub. Oh well I'm not worried. Later I'll be eager write something again. Nastajus 05:01, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Linking to IP addresses
What you can do is instead of linking to, you can link to   (which displays Special:Contributions/192.168.1.1). To have it display without the "Special:Contributions" part, type, which displays 192.168.1.1. This is called a pipe trick, and works for all links.

NaturallySpeaking
Hi, thanks for the most recent note. The article looks good, I really don't think someone would want to delete it. You're right that it needs referencing though. My first suggestion would be to find references for it, but if you really don't want to, I like your idea of partnering with someone who's willng to. More references will address any notability concerns and more firmly protect against deletion. Also, since anyone could put untrue statements in, it's important that statements be referenced so the encyclopedia is more reliable. But it doesn't have to be you who does that if it's really not your thing. I think you're right about not splitting into two pages, that would be a mistake. But I also think we shouldn't shy away from including any negative info about the product. If it's sourced and relevant, I think it belongs in the article, and I think if it's balanced with other info it will help make the article more neutral, which is very important. It won't hurt the article at all. I think if a person feels so strongly about a product that they don't want any negative info in its article, they probably shouldn't be editing the article because it will be hard for them to remain neutral. Anyway, thanks for the note, on the whole I think the article is fine. Maybe I'll try to dig up some references myself. Let me know what happens. Peace, delldot   talk  12:33, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Wake Up America: A National Sleep Alert

The article Wake Up America: A National Sleep Alert has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Unsourced, non-notable study, could be a great ref in an article, but not important enough on its own.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  MBisanz  talk 19:12, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Internationalisation
Hi Captaindan,

Thank you for your message. As you could see from another message left on my page, I do know about the issue of possible change-of-meaning when it comes to replacing "airplane" with "aircraft"... and I have tried to be careful in those articles which would be rendered ambiguous (for example if a claim is made about the first plane to fly across the Atlantic, then yes, I am aware that to change it to "aircraft" would include things like airships, thus making it unclear). However, thank you for pointing out the things in Pilot certification in the United States which obviously slipped through the net. Maybe I should not have been doing that late at night :) As you can see, I did leave alone statements such as "Categories of aircraft are Airplane, Rotorcraft, Glider, Lighter-than-air, Powered-lift, Powered parachute, Weight-shift-control aircraft." - but evidently yes, there were a couple of other places where the replacement should not have been made. Thank you. I shall be even more careful in future.

I hope you can understand what I am trying to do here: since there is only one "en", English-language Wikipedia, which must be shared among all English-speaking people on the planet, it is not right that language used exclusively in the USA should be the dominant usage across the encyclopædia, for no other reason than that there are more Americans here than there are anyone else. But instead of changing it to "aeroplane", which would be silly, pointless and against WP policy, I am trying wherever possible to find international alternatives which are acceptable to everyone. I just need to be a bit more careful, that's all :) EuroSong talk 11:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and I clarified Critical engine. P.S... you own one of these? Excellent! EuroSong talk 11:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No need for you to apologise! You were quite right to point out my mistake to me :) EuroSong talk 10:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
For the support, and yes, I knew your name looked familiar from somewhere. :)

It wouldn't be quite so bad if two of them weren't totally ignoring my requests to explain what link they do see between, say, the pilots' initial boarding of the wrong aircraft and the crash.--chris.lawson 00:54, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Stanton's firing
I replied to your suggestion. I'll put in the Timeline of Largo history when I calm down a little. Steve was important in implementing the City of Progress. He is a fine city manager. However, the "City of Progress" was the late mayor Thom Feaster's (nore correctly, his brother George's) vision. If we were to go into that much depth in the main article, or the yet to be written History article, we would need to call it the Feaster Era.

I'm out of the loop these days, but I suspect the sex change was an excuse and not a reason. There were sure to have been other political forces in play. I'm surprised that he did not have better support from the council.

If you are a Largoan or knowledgeable about Largo, I would be glad to see you update the article and flesh it out a bit.

Has he gained sufficient notability for an article? If so, there is only so far I could go with writing it. (WP:NPOV, WP:SOAP) Cheers, :) MikeReichold 15:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I know almost nothing about Largo (my only connection to the city is indirectly through my employer) so I won't be much use in editing the article. And I should avoid writing an article about Stanton for the same reasons you cited (NPOV and SOAP).

 * I'm pretty annoyed. —Captaindan 15:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Acego Desmoche Files.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Acego Desmoche Files.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Images
You've up-loaded a number of images for which you've added no copyright information; your use of them at Nowy Sacz mentioned that they are copyrighted by their photographers. I'm afraid that this means that they can't be used on Wikipedia (I've removed them from the article). If you can get permission to use them under Wikipedia conditions (see Copyrights), then they can be replaced. I haven't yet listed them as possible copyright violations, in order to give you a chance to sort matters out. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 17:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Also, please don't remove tags like "copyedit" unless the work has been done. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 18:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Replacing copyrighted images (and removing the "copyedit" tag) is now looking more like vandalism than good-faith editing. It is imperative that you not place copyright material in Wikipedia, as it could lay us open to legal action.  As you haven't had the courtesy to respond to me, I shall now place the images at the copyright-problems page. Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 18:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Hello! You left a message at my page consisting only of the header "Misunderstanding"; what is it that you haven't understood — I'll try to explain if I can. (By the way, Image:Dunajectropie.jpg also needs a copyright tag.) Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 20:50, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for replying. I'm surprised that you found my initial mesages anything but friendly and polite; I susect that that might be the result of problems with English. I hope that things will continue pleasantly now.

In answer to your question, by the way: I think that you'd write a much better article in Polish on Oxford than I would, even though I know Oxford first-hand — especially as Wikipedia doesn't allow original research. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:22, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
