Talk:Malbone Street wreck

Deadly crash

 * It was the most deadly rapid transit railroad wreck in world history, until the Amagasaki rail crash in Japan on 2005-04-25.

This is incorrect. If the Amagasaki rail crash (107 killed) is also considered rapid transit, then so should the Yokohama rail crash in 1963 be, where 161 people were killed. They were the same types of trains (commuter trains). I shall remove this sentence. -- KittySaturn 14:49, 2005 May 28 (UTC)

Recent additions
An editor added the following unsourced information, which I have reverted given the lack of a source. Marc Shepherd 21:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

December 1st, 1974
On December 1st, 1974 a train of R32's were running on ther present day Franklin SHuttle. The lead car failed to negtiotate a switch and train hit the same spot as the 1918 wreck. Car 3669 was damaged and could not be repaired. Service was suspended for a few hours, and single-track operation was run at night. Service was fully restored the next day.

 * This is backed up by http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=796509, though not in as much detail. Zenyu 03:58, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

 * If you look at the picture of the track's on the 'forgotten ny' page (in external links) you can see that the switch is just before the S curve, so while the train may have hit the same tunnel walls, the cause was probably different (motorman inexperience in 1918, deferred maintenance in 1974). Zenyu 14:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

2005
Last year a 2 car set of R68's crashed into the wall close to the 2 previous 2 accidents. No one was injured or killed.

Speed of Train
On 31 July 2006, user 64.115.206.253 edited the page changing the stated speed of the train from "an estimated 30-40 mph" to 70mph (a barely believable figure which probably far exceeds what these trains were capable of). Other webpages on this topic agree with the original figure of 30-40. I have therefore reverted these changes. TomH 20:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, a sensible reversion. Marc Shepherd 21:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

 * FYI, the 70 mph figure is mentioned in this contemporary New York Times article. It's presented without qualification in the headline, but the body of the article makes it clear that it's just a claim made by "a naval officer who was a passenger".  (The squeamish beware: the description of the accident in that article is gruesome.) —Eric S. Smith 13:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Discussion paragraph
Even if every crash relies on a " series of individual circumstances" the paragraph highlights as "circumstance" the BLE strike: it is a gross misleading & quite slanderous statement,a strike is not an error or dangerous act like the unaccettable decision to engage an unskilled motorman.--Kiko 64 (talk) 17:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Malbone Street Wreck → Malbone Street wreck – Undiscussed move based on claim of proper name; sources mostly lowercase. Dicklyon (talk) 04:42, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:55, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

 * queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:57, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * [Moved from "Requests to revert undiscussed moves"] This article has always been at Malbone Street Wreck except for 2 hours last May when it was moved to lower case and then quickly reverted. Requires discussion. Station1 (talk) 08:04, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support move. I don't see any indication that wreck should be capitalized.  A spot check of sources doesn't look favorable for keeping it capitalized, either.  –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:49, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose as currently structured. Sources like the Smithsonian, Post, NY Transit Museum and the contemporary NY Times articles refer to it with uppercase "Wreck". The uppercase "Wreck" may refer to a proper name and is acceptable, per WP:COMMONNAME. But the lowercase "wreck" is completely subjective and not a neutral name. If we are seeking a lowercase title, "wreck" is not the correct word to use, as it's a sensational word that we should avoid using.
 * I'm saying "Oppose as currently structured" because a more descriptive and objective title like "derailment", "accident", "train collision" etc. would be preferred if the word "wreck" was a common noun rather than a proper noun, e.g. Malbone Street derailment. The title "derailment" is not used in many sources, though, and "wreck" as a lowercase word is ambiguous and non-neutral. epicgenius (talk) 21:37, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, for the sake of transparency, I would like to know which "mostly lowercase" sources you are referring to. I think the recent NY Times article is the only source which uses lowercase "wreck". I have also found this source, but in all the other sources I have looked at, "Malbone Street Wreck" is uppercase. epicgenius (talk) 01:13, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I mostly look at books, since web sources over-capitalize a lot and copy from Wikipedia a lot. See books:, , , , ,  are some of the many. Dicklyon (talk) 02:39, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * And this Smithsonian source that you linked uses lowercase wreck; and this NY Transit Museum source that you linked also uses lowercase wreck, though not consistently. Don't be misled by headlines.  You need to look at whether they treat it as a proper name in the text. Dicklyon (talk) 02:44, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response. Though I'm still of the opinion that another title needs to be found, I can see your point. epicgenius (talk) 13:58, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

— SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  15:41, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. Dicklyon, that list of sources is pretty good. Epic, please note that a lot of statistical evidence is contaminated by drawing on titles, which often use title case. Downcasing "wreck" is consistent with the way WP's articles are treated, in particular by our style guides. Tony (talk)  05:44, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * If you want to go with a lowercase descriptor, fine. But "wreck" is an ambiguous, sensationalized word that should be replaced by a more specific term. if it's lowercase. That is why I am not changing my oppose. epicgenius (talk) 13:53, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Downcasing does not affect the ambiguity, if there is ambiguity. Tony (talk)  23:18, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * How is it ambiguous? Whether you consider it PoV-laden or not is probably not relevant; we use the WP:COMMONNAME even it is isn't neutral. See WP:POVNAME policy: "Sometimes [the most] common name includes non-neutral words that Wikipedia normally avoids .... In such cases, the prevalence of the name ... generally overrides concern that Wikipedia might appear as endorsing one side of an issue. And there isn't even "an issue" to "side" with here; you just don't like the word. I don't really buy the PoV argument about wreck, anyway. While I concede that in some narrow dialectal circumstance it  subjectively have some kind of "baggage", in general American English (and this is an AmEng topic), it's just a normal everyday usage, a synonym of crash and a less obtuse way of saying collision. The genuinely PoV term would be accident, which implies that no one is really at fault, that it "just happened" like an act of God. That's why police, insurance agents, lawyers, judges, etc. – and careful journalists – are trained to avoid that term. In the search results near bottom of my analysis below, accident usages are infrequent, and if you dig them out of the original search results, they're mostly in low-end news sites, not major, reputable publishers (who, on the other hand, seem to have no issue with the word "wreck"). There can also be other more-PoV-than-wreck ones, like tragedy and disaster, but they're not common in the sources. PS: It's also a little weird to me to argue that "wreck" is somehow too PoV for the worst train disaster in NY history and one of the worst in the US, with ~100 killed.  That's a wreck by surely any meaning.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  15:41, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Wreck can mean any number of things. It can mean a derailment, collision, or even a car accident. If we use WP:COMMONNAME we should use the uppercase as it is a proper name. If not, we use a more descriptive lowercase, e.g. 1995 Williamsburg Bridge subway crash, December 2013 Spuyten Duyvil derailment. I will not be commenting any more on this matter. epicgenius (talk) 16:10, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * We generally choose title words based on what it's called in sources. Is anything but "wreck" common for this one?  No response is needed unless someone comes up with an affirmative answer. Dicklyon (talk) 16:31, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * And "Wreck can mean any number of things" doesn't matter if there is no other notable Malbone Street wreck about which we have or might have an article. Just imagine the million+ pedantic and un-concise page renames we'd have to do if we had to try to every "imaginable" or "possible" ambiguity. WP only cares about ones that relate directly to extant or probable article titles (and likely reader search strings stabbing at them), or which are just innately badly confusing (e.g. Norwegian Forest cat, which without "cat" would almost certainly be interpreted by most readers as a woodland).  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:07, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per innumerable previous RMs on descriptive phrases like this, i.e. per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS: WP does not capitalize things that are not near-uniformly capitalized in independent, reliable sources. It amazes me that we keep having to say this again and again, month after month, year after year, with the same results. WP:RM/TR should probably just be amended to make moves like this explicitly speediable, with the burden of proof to challenge or revert it laying firmly on the shoulders of those who would deny that these guidelines are somehow applicable to their "magically special" case. I have no objection in theory to Epicgenius's suggestion to use something like "Malbone Street derailment" or "Malbone Street collision", but only if a WP:COMMONNAME analysis supports it statistically, which I doubt, especially after having looked into it (see search results below, in which news text uses "crash" more often than any other term, whether in the exact construction Malbone Street [something] or in some other phrasing structure. Anyway, DickLyon is correct that Epicgenius is obviously commingling title-case headlines with running-text usage. Just a few minutes with such searches, performed and inspected properly, will demonstrate that sources not only do not usually treat this as a proper name (nor capitalize "wreck" or a similar term in any alternative word order), they do not in fact consistently use any particular phrase; this is just one of numerous such descriptions (potential WP:NTITLEs), and seems to be the most common one. I agree with DickLyon that book sources are by far the most relevant for something like this, since it is nowhere near news, being from 1918. The modern news reporting that is returned by Google News, etc., is mostly about (or a followup to) an anniversary commemoration, which arguably could be a proper name (being possibly an organized thing – except the sources don't seem to consistently name either). Many of the e-news sources that capitalize "Wreck" (and other terms like "Crash") are demonstrably not following anything like Wikipedia style, but amateurishly capitalizing without any regard for English writing norms of any codified kind anywhere: "Never Forget: 101 Years After The Worst Subway Crash in ...", "NYC Honors The 101st Anniversary Of Deadliest Subway ...", "A Century Ago, NYC Didn't Even Have An L Train To Complain About", etc. (emphasis added). I challenge anyone to find any English-language style guide, ever, that permits such rampant over-capitalization.  It's a completely aberrant style and therefore of zero use for any kind of "WP should capitalize because sources do" claim.  And sources just do not use "Malbone Street Wreck" with anything approaching consistency, . Here is a wide-net search to find a large proportion of the relevant articles that mention the crash at all (with or without mentioning the anniversary memorial), and the styles are just all over the map, with an actual  of them capitalizing in running text. . Just from page 1 of the results, using body copy not headlines: "the Malbone wreck", "the Malbone Street subway accident", "the Malbone Street wreck of 1918", "the Malbone Street wreck of November 1, 1918", "the 1918 Malbone Street wreck in the New York City subway system", "the Malbone Street disaster", "the derailment and crash of a train at the Malbone Street (later Empire Boulevard) station" (no name-like appellation is applied to it at all), "derailing near a tunnel under Malbone Street ... the wreck ..." (ditto), "The worst subway accident in the city’s history ... a conductor who was filling in for a striking employee lost control ... on Brooklyn’s Malbone Street. The resulting crash ..." (ditto), "a passenger train derailed in tunnel underneath Malbone Street .... The accident ..." (ditto), "Malbone Street (now Empire Boulevard, its name changed following a horrific subway crash) ..." (ditto), "At least 90 are killed when a Brighton Beach Train of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company derails inside the Malbone Street tunnel" (ditto). So, 12 of the 22 top results do not use "Malbone Street Wreck" or "Malbone Street [Capitalized Anything Else]", except in title-case headlines/headings.  To sew this up, the majority of those that do capitalize in mid-sentence are not major news sites, but random newsy blogs of low reputability, and many of them , i.e. they obviously copy-pasted the capitalization directly from us. This by itself is a good reason WP should be "religious" about avoiding over-capitalization and other abuses of style or wording; it has a real effect on the real world (it degrades the quality of semi-pro, poorly edited writing and degrades the English-language skills of readers of such material, i.e. just about everyone with a smartphone), as well as WP:CIRCULAR-interfering with our own ability to assess the real-world consensus without WP's own interference. PS: see also WP:GOOGLE and all the caveats in there against just accepting the superficial results of simple searches. Using search engines for analyses like this requires getting into the material behind the results summaries, and being aware of what can affect the returns in the first place.
 * Support as nom – I recognize that my claim at WP:RMTR that the caps were from an "Undiscussed move based on claim of proper name" was somewhat inaccurate. The real rationale is just that it's not a proper name, per the criteria at MOS:CAPS, so per WP:NCCAPS we shouldn't cap the general part.  I cited a string of sources using the lowercase in the discussion above, and showed that epicgenius was misreading most of the ones he cited as supporting caps.  No-brainer, as Tony likes to say. Dicklyon (talk) 00:29, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Ubayd Zakani

Khwajeh Nizam al-Din Ubayd Allah al-Zakani (d. 1370), better known as Ubayd Zakani (عبید زاکانی), was a Persian poet of the Mongol era, regarded as one of the best satirists in Persian literature. His most famous work is Mush-o Gorbeh ("Mouse and Cat"), a political satire which attacks religious hypocrisy. Although a highly popular figure in his own time, Ubayd's work received little attention from modern scholars until recently, due to provocative and bawdy texts in the majority of his works. His style of satire has been compared to the French Enlightenment writer Voltaire (d. 1778).

Background
Ubayd was from the Zakani family, which was descended from the Banu Khafaja, an Arab tribe that had immigrated to Qazvin in northern Iran at the start of the Islamic era. The Zakani family was made up of two branches; one being notable for its field in religion, while the other, to which Ubayd belonged, consisted of landowners and bureaucrats. Ubayd himself was born in Qazvin, most likely before 1319. Iran was then under Mongol (Ilkhanate) rule, widely considered to be the golden age of Persian poetry.

Life
The contemporary Persian writer Hamdallah Mustawfi, who was a fellow Qazvini, describes Ubayd in his Tarikh-i guzida (1329) as a gifted poet and a well-educated writer. This comment was made in the same year as the composition of Nawādir al-amṯāl, one of Ubayd's first works. The book, written in Arabic, was a compilation of proverbs of prophets and sages. After the fall of the Ilkhanate in 1335, Ubayd fled to Shiraz in Fars, then under Injuid control. There he joined the court of the Injuid ruler Abu Ishaq Inju ((r. 1343 – 1357)), to whom he wrote a considerable segment of his panegyrics, and also his acclaimed Ushshaq-nama (1350), a masnavi mixed with ghazals. Ubayd also dedicated some of his poems to Abu Ishaq Inju's minister Rukn al-din Amid al-Mulk.

Ubayd was part of Abu Ishaq Inju's circle of poets, which included an elder Khwaju Kermani and a young Hafez. However, in 1357, the Muzaffarid ruler Mubariz al-Din Muhammad ((r. 1314 – 1358)) captured Shiraz and had Abu Ishaq Inju executed. Ubayd was consequently forced to leave Shiraz, most likely leaving for the domains of the Jalayirid ruler Shaykh Uways Jalayir ((r. 1356 – 1374)), to whom he dedicated qasidas. Ubayd also wrote an elegy for the deceased Abu Ishaq Inju, who had been his most important patron. He later returned to Shiraz during the reign of Mubariz al-Din Muhammad's son and successor Shah Shoja Mozaffari ((r. 1358 – 1384)), to whom he dedicated several panegyrics. Ubayd had little love for his hometown Qazvin, preferring Shiraz instead. He died sometime between 1369 and 1371, possibly in Shiraz.

Literary work
Most of Ubayd's work is in Persian, although some of it is in Arabic as well, demonstrating his high education. His satire is generally divided into three topics: religion, politics, and ethics. In regards to religion, he criticizes the clergy for their hypocrisy, such as meddling in other people's lives and especially hijacking the right to reprehend freethinkers. Ubayd's most famous work is Mush-o Gorbeh ("Mouse and Cat"), a political satire which attacks religious hypocrisy. The work was considered risky, due to being made during a time where one could face death for criticizing religion.

Legacy
Ubayd is regarded as one of the best satirists in Persian literature. His work has been compared to that of the 18th-century French Enlightenment writer Voltaire. According to the British orientalist Edward Granville Browne, Ubayd was "perhaps the most remarkable parodist and satirical writer produced by Persia." Ubayd and Iraj Mirza (d. 1926) are considered the most illustrious Iranian satirists.

Connecticut Bicentennials

The Connecticut Bicentennials were an American soccer team that competed in the North American Soccer League (NASL) from 1975 to 1977. Originally founded as the Hartford Bicentennials, the team relocated to New Haven, Connecticut after the 1976 NASL season. At the end of 1977 season, the team was sold and relocated to California becoming the Oakland Stompers.

History
Founded in 1975, and owned by local businessman Bob Darling, the team's name was a reference to the upcoming bicentennial anniversary of the United States founding in 1976. The team began play during the 1975 NASL Indoor tournament, finishing second in Region 2 and missing the final four on goal difference. Prior to the 1975 outdoor season, the Bicentennials signed fourteen players from the 1974 American Soccer League (ASL) champions Rhode Island Oceaneers, including goalkeeper Arnie Mausser, Charlie McCully, and Mohammad Attiah, as well as hiring the Oceaneers' head coach Manny Schellscheidt and General Manager Michael Bosson. The Bicentennials finished their inaugural season in last place of the Northern Division with a record of six wins and sixteen loses and an average attendance of 3,720 playing their home games at the Dillon Stadium which they shared with the Connecticut Yankees of the ASL. After the season, Bosson was replaced by the GM of the Connecticut Yankees Rudi Schiffer and, along with the signing of three European players, the contract of goalkeeper Arnie Mausser, who had allowed a record 50 goals during the season, was sold to the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Schellscheidt was replaced by Bobby Thompson after a 2-3 start to the 1976 outdoor season. The team ended the 1976 season with a record of twelve wins and twelve losses and averaging 3,420 fans per game. The team relocated to New Haven, Connecticut and rebranded as the Connecticut Bicentennials before the 1977 season. Playing their home games at the Yale Bowl, the team finished the 1977 season in last place of the Atlantic Conference Northern Division with a record of seven wins and nineteen losses. The Bicentennials drew their biggest crowd ever, with 17,302 fans in attendance, for their 1977 home opener against the New York Cosmos featuring Brazilian star Pelé, but averaged only 3,848 fans for the season. Citing low gate revenues and the cost to adequately light the Yale Bowl for night games, Darling sold the team to Milan Mandarić who relocated the team to Oakland, California for the 1978 season, where they became known as the Oakland Stompers.

HNLMS Schorpioen

HNLMS Schorpioen is a Schorpioen-class monitor monitor built in France for the Royal Netherlands Navy in the 1860s. These new ships were equipped with heavy rifled 23 cm guns, and a heavy armor. The hull had an armor plated belt of 15 cm and the gun turret, housing the two guns, had almost 30 cm of armor.

She came from the building yard with two tripod masts and able to employ about 600 m2 of sails, but she proved to be a difficult sailing ship and some years later the yards, masts and the sails were removed. As with HNLMS Buffel her huge steam engines gave her a maximum speed of 13 kn. Her striking weapon was the pointed ram bow, slightly different from Buffel's, but she never ever used this overestimated weapon.

Service record
As with Buffel, her record is not very impressive. In 1886 Schorpioen was hit in the stern quarter by a paddle steam tugboat in the harbor of Den Helder and sank in two hours. It was possible to raise and repair her. In 1906 she completed her role as an operational warship and was transformed into an accommodation ship.

At the beginning of World War II, she fell into German hands, was towed to Germany, and served there as a lodging - and storage ship. After the war, in 1947 she was found in Hamburg, Germany and towed back to Den Helder; again to become a lodging ship, first in Amsterdam and later in Den Helder where she became the barracks for the Dutch WRNS. In 1982, after decommissioning, she was bought by a private foundation that was established to transform her into a floating museum in Middelburg, in the southern part of the country. Seven years later, after a complete renovation, she opened her doors to visitors, as a museum ship.

In 1995, the Royal Netherlands Navy re-acquired the ship and put her under the supervision of the Dutch Navy Museum in Den Helder where she is now the third, and largest, vessel on display. In May 2000, after a renovation period of eighteen months to restore her to her former glory, the ship was opened to visitors.

Dallas Tornado

The Dallas Tornado was a soccer team based in Dallas, Texas that played in the North American Soccer League (NASL) from 1967 to 1981. Of the twelve teams that comprised the U.S. in 1967, the Tornado franchise played the longest–15 seasons.

Their home fields were Cotton Bowl (1967–1968), P.C. Cobb Stadium (1969), Franklin Field (1970–1971), Texas Stadium (1972–1975, 1980–1981) and Ownby Stadium on the SMU campus (1976–1979). The club played Indoor soccer at Reunion Arena for one season (1980–81), and hosted the two-day 1975 Regionals at Fair Park Coliseum.

1967–1971
The franchise was one of the original clubs that played in the United Soccer Association, one of the two precursors to the NASL, in 1967. That year overseas clubs played in U.S. cities as American teams. The team that played as the Dallas Tornado were Dundee United of the Scottish Football League.

The following season when the USA merged with the NPSL, owners Lamar Hunt and Bill McNutt had to build a new team from scratch. They hired Bob Kap, a Serbian born soccer coach who had escaped with his family during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Kap had studied with Ferenc Puskás at the Soccer Academy in Hungary. Kap was recruited from Toronto, Canada, where he had relocated after the 1956 Revolution. During the first 6 months as coach, Kap traveled throughout Europe to form the new Dallas Tornado, hiring young players from England to Turkey.

The fledgling Dallas Tornado learned to play as a team on their world tour during seven months in 1967–68, where they played 45 games in 26 countries spanning five continents. Their world tour took them from England to India, from Indonesia to Vietnam during the height of the war. The Tornado consisted 8 players from England, 5 from Norway, 2 each from Sweden and the Netherlands; there was only one American player, Jay Moore. The Tornado played in front of crowds of up to 50,000, and they played several well-established teams, such as a 2–2 draw against Fenerbahçe, as well as playing Spanish second-division side Real Oviedo, and the Japan national team. The tour gave the new Dallas Tornado team an international face at a time when American soccer was relatively unknown; the effort resulted in a record of 10 wins, nine draws and 26 defeats. When the actual 1968 NASL season started, though, the exhausted Tornado quickly blew itself out; they won just two league matches all year, against four ties and 26 losses, easily the worst record in NASL history.

Things turned dark after the season when no fewer than ten NASL franchises folded, with Dallas one of the surviving five clubs. The 1969 season was split into two halves. The first half was called the International Cup, a double round robin tournament in which the remaining NASL clubs were represented by teams imported from the United Kingdom. The Tornado was represented again by Dundee United. The Tornado came in tied for third in the Cup with a 2–4–2 record. For the second half of the 1969 season, the teams returned to their normal rosters and played a 16-game schedule with no playoffs.

Fortunes improved for the club as they won the NASL championship in 1971, defeating the Atlanta Chiefs 2–0 in the final game of a three-game series, Mike Renshaw scoring the winning goal. The road to that title was marathon that, barring a rule change, might never be duplicated. In Game 1 of the best-of-three semifinal against the Rochester Lancers, league scoring champion Carlos Metidieri mercifully ended the match 2–1, late in the 6th 15 minute-overtime period in the 176th minute, less than four minutes shy of playing two complete games in one day. Three days later Dallas evened the series at one game each with a 3–1 regulation win. In the rubber match four days later, the two teams ended regulation tied again at 1 goal apiece. The game reached 4OTs before Bobby Moffat sent Dallas into the Finals in the 148 minute. Four days after that, Dallas lost Game 1 of the NASL Championship Series, 2–1 in the 3OTs to Atlanta after 123 minutes. All totaled, Dallas had played 537 minutes of football (3 minutes short of six games) in 13 days time. Finally the Tornado were able to get control of the series pulling away in games 2 and 3 by scores of 4–1 and 2–0 respectively.

1972–1981
Several division titles followed in the years after that league title. The face of the team was Kyle Rote, Jr., son of former New York Giants wide receiver and TV broadcaster Kyle Rote. In 1973, Rote Jr. led the league in scoring and won the league Rookie of the Year award. Rote Jr. further boosted his public profile by winning ABC Sports Superstars competition in 1974, 1976, and 1977. On June 15, 1975, the Tornado played the New York Cosmos in Pelé's NASL debut, a match broadcast nationally on CBS. Steve Pecher won the league Rookie of the Year award in 1976. The Tornado sold Rote Jr. at the end of the 1978 season to the Houston Hurricane for $250,000.

As was the case with most NASL clubs, a drop in attendance contributed to the demise of the club in 1981. The Dallas Morning News estimated Hunt and McNutt's cumulative financial loss over 15 years at a minimum of $20 million. After the 1981 season Hunt and McNutt decided to merge their team with the Tampa Bay Rowdies franchise, while retaining a minority stake in the Florida club.

Lamar Hunt did not give up on soccer in America, however, and was one of the founding owners in Major League Soccer.

Ex-Manchester United goalkeeper, Alex Stepney played for Dallas.

Indoor seasons
In March 1971 the league staged its first ever indoor event, a four-team Hoc-Soc tournament at the St. Louis Arena. Dallas won both of its matches, 2–1 and 3–0, and the title. In the winter of 1975, the NASL organized a two-tiered, 16 team indoor tournament with four regional winners meeting in a "final-four" style championship. Dallas hosted their region at the Fair Park Coliseum and won the group. Though they lost in the semi-final, the Tornado rebounded to win the 3rd place game 2–0 over New York at the Cow Palace. In 1976 they again advanced out of their group, this time as a wild card, but lost both the semi-final and the third-place match at the Bayfront Center. In January 1979 the Tornado joined the Tulsa Roughnecks, Ft. Lauderdale Strikers and host Tampa Bay Rowdies for the two-day Budweiser Invitational. They won both games, and the mini-tournament itself on goal differential. Tornado forward Jimmy Ryan was the leading scorer of the invitational with 7 goals. Dallas participated in only one full NASL indoor season, 1980–81, before folding.

Candy Jones

Candy Jones, born Jessica Arline Wilcox (December 31, 1925 – January 18, 1990), was an American fashion model, writer and radio talk show hostess.

Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, she was raised and educated in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

In the 1940s and 1950s, she was a leading model and pin-up girl, and afterward, established a modeling school and wrote several books on modeling and fashion. In 1972, Jones married her second husband, popular radio show host Long John Nebel, and became the co-host of his all-night talk-show on WMCA in New York City. The show dealt with paranormal, UFO, and conspiracy theory claims.

Jones controversially claimed to be a victim of Project MKULTRA, the CIA mind-control program, in the 1960s.

Early life and career
Candy Jones was born to a well-off family. Jones reported vivid, conscious memories of physical abuse by her parents and vague memories of sexual abuse in her youth. She was shuttled among relatives, and her mother, Jones insisted, often kept her cloistered or locked in dark rooms. As a child, Jones said she had an imaginary friend named Arlene to help through her lonely episodes.

Jones grew into an attractive, statuesque young woman, about 6 ft. Changing her name, she pursued a career as a fashion model. She was a quick success, becoming a runner up for Miss New Jersey in the Miss America contest. Jones was able to parlay this into a hostess job at the main Miss America contest, and a successful career. She was one of the leading pin-up girls of the World War II era: In one month in 1943, she appeared on 11 magazine covers.

During a lengthy United Service Organizations (USO) tour in the Philippines, Jones fell ill in 1945, and was treated by a doctor who was still alive when Candy publicized her mind-control claims; biographer Donald Bain gave this doctor the alias "Gilbert Jensen". According to researcher Martin Cannon, who interviewed Jones before she died in 1990, the "Marshall Burger" alias in Bain's book who worked with Jensen on the Jones case was actually Dr. William S. Kroger, a psychologist at one time associated with UCLA.

First marriage
In 1946, Jones married fashion czar Harry Conover, one of the first model agents. They had three sons, and Jones says she didn't realize Conover was bisexual until some years into their marriage. She recognized some people might consider this naive, but Jones insisted her abusive childhood had made her wary of intimate relationships, and though she had many suitors, she was sexually inexperienced when she married. She reported that Conover very seldom initiated sexual activities with her, and only when he was intoxicated.

Without notice, Conover disappeared in late 1958. Jones notified police, and Conover's absence made the news. When he returned after a long binge, Jones sued for divorce in 1959. After the divorce, she was left with $36, and considerable debts.

Jones opened a modeling school, and she began appearing regularly on NBC's weekend radio news program Monitor.

Second marriage and radio career
On December 31, 1972, Jones married radio host Long John Nebel after a one-month courtship; they briefly met decades earlier when Nebel was a photographer. Jones was soon the regular co-host of Nebel's popular overnight radio talk show, which usually discussed various paranormal topics.

Mind-control claims
Shortly after their marriage, Nebel said he noted that Jones exhibited violent mood swings, and at times, seemed to display a different personality. Nebel called this "The Voice ... a look, a few moments of bitchiness." 'The Voice' usually vanished rather quickly, but the change was so drastic from Jones's usually pleasant demeanor that Nebel was startled and distressed.

Colin Bennett writes, "A few weeks after their marriage, [Jones] did tell Nebel that she had worked for the FBI for some time, adding mysteriously that she might have to go out of town on occasion without giving a reason. This left Nebel wondering whether there was a connection between the 'other' personality within Candy and the strange trips she said she made for the FBI."

Nebel began hypnotizing Jones, and uncovered an alternate personality named "Arlene". Under hypnosis, Jones related a lengthy, elaborate account of her being trained in a CIA mind-control program, often at west coast colleges and universities. Jones and Nebel eventually recorded hundreds of hours of these hypnotic sessions.

Jones said she had some conscious memories of her involvement in the mind-control program: it began in 1960, she said, when an old USO acquaintance (an unnamed retired army general) asked to use Jones' modeling school as a mailing address to receive some letters and packages. Jones agreed, she said, out of a sense of patriotism.

Eventually, said Jones, she was asked to deliver a letter to Oakland, California on a business trip she had scheduled. Again, Jones reported she agreed, and was surprised to discover the letter was delivered to the same Dr. Jensen who had treated her in the Philippines nearly two decades earlier. Jones said that Jensen and his associate, Dr. "Marshall Burger" (another alias) offered hefty amounts of cash if she was willing to engage in further plans; in their earlier meetings, Jensen had noted that Jones was an ideal subject for hypnosis. Jones agreed, she said, because her modeling school was faltering, and she wanted to keep her sons in their costly private schools.

During hypnosis sessions, an alternate personality called "Arlene" was reportedly groomed by Jensen, so that Jones would have no memory of Arlene's activities. Jones allegedly made trips to locations as far away as Taiwan. While hypnotized, Jones claimed that she was subjected to painful torture in order to test the effectiveness of the alternate personality. Author Bain writes, "[Jones] would be a messenger for the agency in conjunction with her normal business trips."

Again with the USO, Jones visited South Vietnam in 1970; she later suspected her visit had some connection to a disastrous attempt to free American prisoners of war from North Vietnam.

Jones's and Nebel's claims were first made public in 1976 (in Donald Bain's The Control of Candy Jones, published by Playboy Press). Nebel apparently accepted his wife's claims, and openly discussed killing Dr. Jensen in revenge. However, Nebel was a prankster and hoaxer of long standing and as he was not above hoaxing his radio audience, some doubted the recovered memories of Candy Jones's past were genuine.

Several years later, Jones' story gained more notice after the public disclosure of MK-ULTRA in 1977.

Bain reported that associates in Jones' modeling schools asserted that Jones indeed had some puzzling absences – supposed business trips where little or no business seemed to be conducted. Bain also writes that another piece of evidence came forth when "Candy inadvertently held onto a passport of 'Arlene Grant': Candy in a dark wig and dark makeup". Jones says she had no memory of dressing in such an outfit or of posing for a passport in a different name.

Bain also claimed that a tape-recorded message on an answering machine was left on Jones and Nebel's home telephone number on July 3, 1973:

"This is Japan Airlines calling on oh-three July at 4.10 p.m. ... Please have Miss Grant call 759-9100 ... she is holding a reservation on Japan Airlines Flight 5 for the sixth of July, Kennedy to Tokyo, with an option on to Taipei. This is per Cynthia that we are calling."

When Jones telephoned the number and asked for Cynthia, she was told that no one of that name worked at the reservations desk.

Additionally, Brian Haughton notes that

"There was also a letter [Jones] wrote to her attorney, William Williams, to cover herself in case she died or disappeared suddenly or under unusual circumstances; she told him she was not at liberty to reveal exactly what she was involved in. Bain wrote to Williams who corroborated this fact."

Bain also notes that in 1971, an article by hypnosis expert George Estabrooks was published in Science Digest, wherein Estabrooks openly discussed the successful creation of amnesiac couriers of the type Jones claimed to have been.

Dr. Herbert Spiegel, a nationally recognized hypnosis expert, wrote the foreword to The Control of Candy Jones.

Candy Jones is the subject of the Exit Clov song "MK ULTRA."

The story of her mind-control claims was featured in an episode of Dark Matters: Twisted But True in a segment entitled "Sexy Secret Agent".

Death
Jones died of cancer on January 18, 1990, at Lenox Hill Hospital. She was 64 years old and had been living in Manhattan.

Hi ! I am afraid that the map yo uuploaded at Image:Troopmap.jpg is incorrect: there have been no US troops or bases permently stationed in France since the 60s.

Hi
Awesome userpage... We haven't interacted yet, but seeing your interests, you might find this page on the VfD interesting. This is an article on a Democratic organization affliated with the socialist United for Peace and Justice umbrella. While I doubt that you are too impressed by the Democratic Party in the U.S., perhaps you may be interested in voting to keep this article, as it is the only organ of one of the two mainstream parties in this country officially taking on a progressive, socialist orientation. (The vote's real close now so I'm looking for support.) Thanks. JMaxwell 19:00, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Interesting. When I hear about things like this it reminds me of this passage from the Manifesto: "Just as, therefore, at an earlier period, a section of the nobility went over to the bourgeoisie, so now a portion of the bourgeoisie goes over to the proletariat, and in particular, a portion of the bourgeois ideologists, who have raised themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole." Still, remaining in the Democratic Party means that they cannot reject bourgeois roles and values entirely, even if they want to. I wouldn't expect much out of them, but it might be interesting to find out what they're doing a few years down the road. NEW WORLD ORDER 20:14, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Currys

Currys (branded as Currys PC World between 2010 and 2021) is a British electrical retailer and aftercare service provider operating in the United Kingdom and Ireland, specialising in white goods, consumer electronics, computers and mobile phones.

Established as a bicycle retailer in 1927, Currys expanded the range of goods sold and from the 1960s became a major retailer of household electrical items. In 1984 the company was bought by rival retailer Dixons, and the Currys brand was used for all outlets of the combined company. From 2008, the business turned away from shops in town centres to larger out-of-town stores under the Currys PC World brand, combining the operations of Currys with Dixon's PC World under one roof; after the formation of Dixons Carphone in 2014, the stores gained Carphone Warehouse departments. It was announced in July 2021 that all Currys PC World stores would be rebranded to Currys.

Early years

Henry Curry started to make bicycles in Painter Street Leicester in 1884, after leaving his previous employer N. Corah & Sons. Currys went public in 1927 when his four sons merged The Louth Bicycle Company, and the loose confederation of shops which the sons had run since their father's retirement in 1909, with the Nottingham-based Campion Cycle Company.

By the 1940s, the shops sold a wide variety of goods including bicycles, toys, radios and gramophones.

Meanwhile, particularly under the directorship between 1967 and 1984 of Dennis Curry, grandson of Henry Curry, the company underwent considerable expansion to become a major high street supplier of televisions and white goods (refrigerators, washing machines and other domestic appliances); by 1984 Currys Group plc had 570 shops, twice as many as the company which was then to acquire it.

Takeover by Dixons

In 1984, Currys was taken over by Dixons (another electrical products retail chain, now Currys plc) but maintained its separate brand identity. In April 2006, Dixons Stores Group announced that its Dixons shops, except in Ireland and in duty-free areas in airports, would be rebranded as Currys.digital (later changed to Currys Digital). In Ireland, the Dixons shops were rebranded as Currys in August 2008.

Before the Dixons rebranding, the chain had only a few small town centre shops compared with its much greater number of large out-of-town megastores. On 17 January 2007, group chief executive John Clare announced that when the leases on the remaining Currys High Street shops (not the rebranded Currys.digital shops) expired, it would be unlikely that they would be renewed: thus the shops would be closed at the earliest opportunity.

Currys PC World
Dixons Retail began a trial combining Currys and PC World shops in 2008. During the Dixons Carphone Christmas 2015–2016 results update to shareholders, Sebastian James, group chief executive, revealed that over the following financial year the three-in-one shop format (shops featuring Currys, PC World and Carphone Warehouse branding under one roof) would be rolled out across the company's entire portfolio in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

Revival of Currys as sole brand
Following reorganisations in 2020 and 2021, Dixons Carphone announced that the Currys PC World stores would be rebranded as Currys in October 2021.

Views
In December 2023, Currys' CEO Alex Baldock said of a planned rise in the National Minimum Wage, "We believe we are paying our colleagues well and we certainly intend to continue to. That said, for the retail industry as a whole, having a big hike in the 'national living wage' at the same time as an expected half a billion pound increase in the rates bill just shows how little the government appears to understand or care about this industry."

Sigebert of Gembloux

Sigebert or Sigibert of Gembloux (Sigebertus or Sigibertus Gemblacensis; c. 1030– 5 October 1112) was a medieval author, known mainly as a pro-Imperial historian of a universal chronicle, opposed to the expansive papacy of Gregory VII and Pascal II. Early in his life he became a monk in the Benedictine abbey of Gembloux.

Life
He was born near Gembloux which is now in the Province of Namur, Belgium, about 1030. He was apparently not of Germanic background, but seems to have been of Latin descent. He received his education at the Abbey of Gembloux, where at an early age he became a monk. Later he was for a long time a teacher at the Abbey of St. Vincent at Metz; about 1070 he returned to Gembloux. He was universally admired, and had charge there of the abbey school until his death, occupied in teaching and writing.

After his return from Metz he became a violent imperial partisan in the great struggle between the empire and the papacy that culminated in the Investiture Controversy. He was an enemy of the papal pretensions and he took part in the momentous contest between Pope Gregory VII and the Emperor Henry IV. Of his three treatises on this question, being very serviceable to the imperial cause to the contest, one is lost; this was an answer to the letter of Gregory VII, written in 1081 to Bishop Hermann of Metz, in which Gregory asserted that the popes have the right to excommunicate kings and to release subjects from the oath of loyalty. In the second treatise Sigebert defended the masses said by married priests, the hearing of which had been forbidden by the pope in 1074. When Paschal II in 1103 ordered the Count of Flanders to punish the citizens of Liège for their adherence to the emperor and to take up arms against him, Sigebert attacked the proceeding of the pope as unchristian and contrary to Scripture.

He died at Gembloux on 5 November 1112.

Works
Sigebert's most celebrated work is the Chronicon sive Chronographia ("Chronicle or Chronography"), a universal chronicle that Auguste Molinier found to be the best work of its kind. It contains many errors and little original information. He desired probably merely to give a chronological survey; consequently, there is only a bare list of events even for the era in which he lived, though the last years, including 1105–1111, are treated in more detail. It covers the period between 381 and 1111, and its author was evidently a man of much learning. The work became in time, the principal source of information with reference to the churches and abbeys of Belgium and Northern France. The first of many printed editions was published in 1513; the best is in Monumenta Germaniae Historica: Scriptores Vol. VI, with introduction by Ludwig Conrad Bethmann. After Sigebert's death his chronicle was continued by Anselm of Gembloux.

The chronicle was very popular during the later Middle Ages; it gained a very high reputation, was circulated in numberless copies, and was used by many writers and found numerous continuators, serving as the basis of many later works of history. Notwithstanding various oversights and mistakes, the industry and wide reading of Sigebert deserve honorable mention. The original autograph manuscript is in the Royal Library of Belgium.

Other works by Sigebert are a life of the Frankish king Sigebert III (Vita Sigeberti III regis Austrasiae), founder of the monastery of St. Martin at Metz. While at Metz he wrote the biography of Bishop Theodoric I of Metz (964–985), and also a long poem on the martyrdom of St. Lucy, whose relics were venerated at the Abbey of St. Vincent. After his return to Gembloux he also wrote similar works for this abbey, namely a long poem on the martyrdom of the Theban Legion—as Gembloux had relics of its reputed leader St. Exuperius (d. 262)—and a history of the early abbots of Gembloux to 1048 (Gesta abbatum Gemblacensium).

He also made a catalogue of one hundred and seventy-one ecclesiastical writers and their works from Gennadius to his own time, De scriptoribus ecclesiasticis, which mentions his own work.

Sigebert was also a hagiographer. Among his writings in this connexion may be mentioned revisions of the biographies of St. Maclovius and the two early bishops of Liège, Theodard of Maastricht and Lambert of Maastricht; further the vita of Dietrich, bishop of Metz (d. 984) who was the founder of the abbey of St Vincent in that city (Vita Deoderici, Mettensis episcopi) and of Wicbert or Guibert (d. 962) who founded the abbey of Gembloux (Vita Wicberti).

Trinity Health Stadium

Trinity Health Stadium (formerly Dillon Stadium) is a multipurpose facility in Hartford, Connecticut. It has been host to concerts and sporting events. It was formerly the home of the New England Nightmare of the Women's Football Alliance (WFA). It is now the home of USL Championship club Hartford Athletic. The UConn Huskies men's and women's soccer teams played a majority of their 2019 matches at Dillon Stadium after starting their seasons at Al-Marzook Field in West Hartford, Connecticut.

Football
Dillon Stadium was built in 1935. Formerly named Municipal Stadium, it was renamed in 1956 after James H. Dillon, the City's recreation director. Dillon Stadium was the home of two minor league football teams in the 1960s and 70s: the Hartford Charter Oaks of the Atlantic Coast Football League and Continental Football League, owned by the Brewer family, and the Hartford Knights, also of the ACFL and Seaboard Football League. Dillon is now used primarily for high school football teams, including the Bulkeley Bulldogs, the Sport Medical Tigers, the Prince Tech Falcons, and the Capital Prep Trailblazers. Dillon also hosts the annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Game between Hartford Public Owls and the Weaver Beavers. Lights were added in 1964 to accommodate the Oaks. The stadium also hosted occasional club-level college football games hosted by the University of Hartford. The Hartford Colonials of the United Football League, in part because of a change of management at Rentschler Field, experienced significant delays in renewing their lease for the 2011 season and had backup plans to relocate to Dillon Stadium (or Willow Brook Park), although neither venue was believed to be ideal for the UFL. The Colonials did sign a deal with Rentschler in June, but suspended operations on August 10, 2011; the league later folded it outright.

Rugby
Trinity Health Stadium has hosted rugby on multiple occasions; including hosting the US men's national team and club nationals. In 1984, the USA Rugby Club National Championship was held at Trinity Health Stadium between Dallas Harlequin and Los Angeles Rugby Club with Dallas coming out victorious with a final score of 31-12. The venue would then host the USA Rugby Club Sevens National Championship Series on August 21 and 23, 1993. Old Blue R.F.C. would defeat the Kansas City Blues 40-22 to secure the national championship.

Renovation
Hartford City FC, a projected indoor soccer franchise that also hoped to compete in the outdoor North American Soccer League, announced plans to reconstruct Dillon Stadium to create a 15,000 seat soccer-only stadium for the 2017 season.

In 2014, the city awarded a $12 million contract to Premier Sports Management to redevelop the stadium in hopes of attracting a professional soccer team. The company was unable to interest various soccer leagues and instead partnered with an outside investor seeking to build a larger stadium on the site with city funding. However, the city ended the project in October 2015 over financial and legal concerns with the investment group, who were later found guilty of embezzling $1 million from the redevelopment fund.

On February 17, 2018, the State Bond Commission approved $10 million in public funding. This would help the Hartford Sports Group establish a USL club in 2019.

Concerts
On June 27, 1966, The Rolling Stones played in Dillon Stadium, supported by The McCoys (with their up-and-coming guitarist, Rick Derringer). Near the end of the Stones' performance, fans rushed the stage, so electricity to the amplifiers was cut. Mick Jagger threw his microphone stand out into the crowd, and the Stones then left the venue, as fans began breaking chairs. Police gathered the crowd towards the exits.

The Beach Boys performed there in 1972 and again in 1973.

On July 16, 1972, the Grateful Dead played in Dillon Stadium and were joined on stage by Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley and Jai Johanny Johanson of the Allman Brothers. Their July 31, 1974, performance at the field was released as an album titled Dave's Picks Volume 2.

Buff ermine

The buff ermine (Spilarctia luteum) is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is sometimes placed in the genus Spilosoma. The species was first described by Johann Siegfried Hufnagel in 1766. It is found throughout the temperate belt of the Palearctic region south to northern Turkey, Georgia, Kazakhstan, southern Siberia (excluding Buryatia), eastern Mongolia, Amur Region, China, Korea and Japan.

The wings of this species are buffish yellow (the males tend to be more yellow than the females) and are typically marked with a diagonal row of dark spots on the forewing and a few other scattered spots on both forewings and hindwings. The extent of black markings varies considerably, however, from almost spotless examples to largely black melanic forms. The wingspan is 34–42 mm. The species flies from May to July in the British Isles. This may vary in other parts of the range. It is attracted to light.

The larva is pale brown and very hairy. It is polyphagous, feeding on a wide variety of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants (see list). This species overwinters as a pupa.

Recorded food plants
Some larval food plants include:

 * Alnus – alder
 * Mentha – mint
 * Plantago – plantain
 * Quercus – oak
 * Rheum – rhubarb
 * Ribes – currant
 * Rubus – raspberry
 * Rumex – dock/sorrel
 * Senecio – ragwort
 * Urtica – nettle
 * Lonicera – honeysuckle
 * Humulus  – hops

Subspecies

 * Spilarctia lutea lutea
 * Spilarctia lutea adzharica Dubatolov, 2007 (Georgia)
 * Spilarctia lutea japonica (Rothschild, 1910) (Middle Amur, Primorye, southern Sakhalin, southern Kuril Islands, eastern China, Korea, Japan)
 * Spilarctia lutea rhodosoma (Turati, 1907) Sicily, the black of the upperside is increased by a larger number of the spots; but especially distinguished by the bright red abdomen.

Eastern New Mexico University

Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU or Eastern) is a public university with a main campus in Portales, New Mexico, and two associate degree-granting branches, one at Ruidoso and one at Roswell. ENMU is New Mexico's largest regional comprehensive university and is the most recently founded state university in New Mexico (legislated in 1927, opened in 1934). It is a federally designated Hispanic-serving institution and a member of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities. The ENMU System consists of three campuses.

History
The New Mexico legislature approved the construction and staffing of a normal school in eastern New Mexico in 1927, and approved appropriation for construction in 1929, but the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression hindered the school's opening, which was delayed until 1934 (construction had begun in 1931).

From 1934 to 1940, the institution, first named Eastern New Mexico Junior College (ENMJC) operated as a community college. In 1940, the third and fourth years of college were first offered, leading to a bachelor's degree, and the institution was renamed Eastern New Mexico College (ENMC). ENMC was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools as a four-year liberal arts college in 1946–47. Graduate work leading to the master's degree in some departments was added in 1949, and on April 5, 1949, the board of regents approved the change of the institution's name to Eastern New Mexico University.

ENMU System
ENMU's main campus (ENMU-Portales), consisting of over 400 acre, is located in Portales on the extreme eastern border of New Mexico, in the Eastern New Mexico/Llano Estacado region about halfway between the northern and southern boundaries of the state. (Portales is 90 mi northeast of Roswell, 120 mi southwest of Amarillo, Texas, and 110 mi northwest of Lubbock, Texas.) ENMU owns KENW (TV) and KENW-FM, a public television and radio station that are housed and operated on the main campus. The president of ENMU-Portales also serves as the chancellor for the ENMU System.

The ENMU Ruidoso Campus, ENMU-Ruidoso, is a community college (one of 18 in New Mexico) and an official branch of ENMU (branch status being granted in July 2005). Undergraduate and graduate coursework completed at the ENMU-Ruidoso campus is transferable for credit toward an undergraduate or graduate degree at ENMU-Portales, and, typically other undergraduate/graduate institutions in the United States. In 1991, the Ruidoso location had been established as the ENMU Ruidoso Branch Community College and offered two-year college academic and vocational programs. ENMU-Ruidoso offers Certificates of Completion, Associate of Science, Associate of Arts, and Associate of Applied Science degrees, as well as community education classes, customized training workshops, and adult basic education courses. It operates a One-Stop Career Center which provides free employment services for employers and job seekers in Lincoln County. The center offers both an academic and vocational curriculum. (Ruidoso is located southwest of Portales, in a mountainous region of south-central New Mexico.)

The ENMU Roswell Campus, ENMU-Roswell, also a two-year branch, offers a wide variety of programs. ENMU-Roswell was established in the fall of 1958. In the spring of 1967, the institution moved to 12 buildings on 241 acre of the former Walker Air Force Base. Roswell is one of New Mexico's larger cities, located in the southeast section of the state.

ENMU also offers online degrees. ENMU's online degrees in the fields of business and education are the most affordable in the U.S.

Academic organization
ENMU-Portales consists of four colleges and a graduate school:

 * College of Business
 * College of Education and Technology
 * College of Fine Arts
 * College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Other facilities
Among ENMU's other facilities are 5 museums, an art gallery, and a library.

Golden Student Success Center
The Golden Student Success Center (GSSC) construction was completed in 2018 replacing the original Golden Library building. The building now houses the Golden Library, the Runnels Gallery and the offices of Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction and Distance Learning.

The Golden Library features General Collections, Special Collections and Government Information. Special Collections includes the Jack Williamson Science Fiction Library, Southwest Collection (including New Mexico collections), University archives, and local history. The General Collection includes newspapers, serials, juvenile books, and K-12 curriculum materials.
 * Golden Library

The Jack Williamson Science Fiction Library is part of the Special Collections and has one of the top science fiction collections in the world with over 30,000 volumes, including science fiction books, science fiction pulp magazines dating back to the early 1900s, manuscripts, correspondence, and photographs.
 * Jack Williamson Science Fiction Library

The Runnels Gallery is an exhibit space open to the public that features art by ENMU students, ENMU faculty, and guest artists. Runnels Gallery has hosted national juried exhibitions for artists working in various mediums including two-dimensional, three-dimensional and photography.
 * Runnels Gallery

ENMU Museums
The Dr. Antonio Gennaro Natural History Museum is affiliated with the ENMU Department of Biology. The purpose of the museum is to educate the public about the diversity of life while emphasizing the natural heritage of eastern New Mexico and the greater Southwest, particularly the Llano Estacado. Formerly known as the Eastern New Mexico University Natural History Museum, the museum was renamed and dedicated to Dr. Gennaro in spring 2016. In addition to the taxidermy and study skins on display, the museum features a live animal exhibit with both native and non-native species. Gennaro came to ENMU in 1966 as an associate professor of biological sciences and went on to become a nationally recognized researcher. He started ENMU's vertebrate collection for the museum. He authored and published two books, Nature's Way and Wildlife Falsehoods.
 * Dr. Antonio Gennaro Natural History Museum

The original Blackwater Draw Museum opened in 1969 at the midway point between Clovis and Portales to display artifacts uncovered at the Blackwater Locality No. 1 site and illustrate life at the Blackwater Draw site during the Clovis period (over 13,000 years ago) through the recent historic period. In 2017, the museum was moved to the ENMU campus and expanded to more broadly incorporate anthropology and related topics.
 * Blackwater Draw Museum

The Miles Mineral Museum features a comprehensive collection of geological specimens representative of the Pecos River valley area, as well as a sampling of specimens from other regions, including several meteorites. The bulk of the objects contained within the museum were once part of the private collection of amateur geologists and mineral enthusiasts, Fred and Gladys Miles. ENMU purchased the [approximately] 2,500 piece collection of geological, archaeological, and anthropological specimens from the couple in 1967. Many additional specimens have been added to the museum over the years since that time. The entire collection was originally displayed at a single ENMU facility named the Miles Museum, which opened in 1969. In 1984 the objects in the collection were divided up into two categories, and two separate museums were formed to display them; the Miles Mineral Museum and the Miles Anthropology Museum. The Miles Mineral Museum is now located in Roosevelt Hall, adjacent to the Dr. Antonio Gennaro Natural History museum, on the ENMU campus.
 * Miles Mineral Museum

Mr. Fred Miles and Mrs. Gladys Miles began collecting mineral and fossil specimens along the Pecos River after they moved to Roswell, New Mexico, in 1928. They were prolific collectors for 40 years, scouring the Pecos River valley for specimens. They particularly enjoyed finding native American artifacts and a specific type of quartz crystal formation referred to as Pecos Diamonds. For several decades they displayed the majority of their enormous collection at a Texaco service station in Roswell operated by Mr. Miles, who enjoyed showing it to inquisitive customers.

The Miles Anthropology Museum is home to various anthropological and archeological specimens collected by amateur anthropologists Fred and Gladys Miles, as well as to other collections from digs in the region. The private collection of Mr. and Mrs. Miles was also used as the foundation of the Miles Mineral Museum. Both museums are located in Roosevelt Hall in a space that was once the first dining hall on the campus.
 * Miles Anthropology Museum

Athletics
ENMU's athletic teams participate in the NCAA Division II Lone Star Conference. The men's and women's teams are nicknamed the Greyhounds. Prior to 2015, the women's teams were nicknamed the Zias. In early 2015, students, faculty and staff voted to discontinue the Zia nickname and the women's teams become Greyhounds alongside the men's teams. ENMU vacated five seasons of wins in several sports starting from the 2008–09 season after the university self-reported over 100 eligibility violations.

Greek life

Cuba 1961

Sure cuba, thats a way to live. Under oppresion, constant watch. People prefer to throw themselves at the mercy of the Oceans instead of staing in cuba.

Really is freedom of speech that hard to understand?? Dont you know that any goverment that doesnt permit it is evil. I am not saying that the US is great. I think they have the worst foreing policies in existance, but at least you have a chance to make a demostration, talk to your friends about it, and not be scared that a gestapo like institution is going to come and get you. Communism is very pretty on paper, but never works on groups larger than 5. Dont you know that the pigs always end up running the farm??

Venezuela 2002
To bad, no pictures of his troops shooting at the masses, I guess we only put on web sites what we want the world to know.. sad, very sad.

Talk:Richard Curtis

Unrealistic
In the interests of objectivity, this article ought to mention that many people, especially critics, dislike Curtis' soppy, superficial output, and its fantasy view of Britain that's so obviously made to sell abroad, especially to the US. THere's a rather nice story (recounted in Matthew Sweet's book Shepperton Babylon) of director John Maybury grabbing Curtis by the lapels at some official function and accusing him of having ruined British cinema. Also, anyone who knows Notting Hill knows that, for the past fifty years or so, it's been a largely black/multi-cultural area; not something reflected in Curtis' silly, snobbish film. Dolmance (talk) 13:23, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

 * It's certainly odd that Curtis has moved from writing challenging political satire in his Spitting Image days to inane girly romcoms set in an unrecognizable tourist England. Some reference to this would be appropriate, though I don't feel the article is especially fawning overall. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 21:00, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Requested move
Richard Curtis (screenwriter) → Richard Curtis — This page was originally at Richard Curtis but was moved to disambiguate from Richard Curtis (politician). However it is my opinion that the screenwriter is the more well known and brief look through the incoming links on Richard Curtis appear to mostly relate to the screenwriter rather than the politician. —Tim! 17:37, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Survey

 * Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with  or  , then sign your comment with  . Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

 * Support per nomination. Bob talk 00:14, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose Currently the politician Richard Curtis is more in forefront of coverage by reliable sources. I think the best solution is for the plain Richard Curtis to remain a link to disambiguation, at least in the name of NPOV. Van Tucky  Talk 00:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The problem is that when it was changed, the 100 or so long-standing links going to the screenwriter weren't. Also, I imagine that the politician's current notability is a case of "recentism" and in a few months will not be as important, particularly if he's now resigned. A disambig link on the top of the screenwriter's page should suffice. Bob talk 10:08, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Support. Curtis the screenwriter is of far more significant, lasting, and wide-reaching notability than a politician with a two-year career in a small state legislature. This is evidenced by the incoming links. I agree with Bob that the apparent relative notability of the politician is simply recentism, and, I think, is only due to the scandal. --bainer (talk) 02:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. A google search produces 771,000 hits. There are many uses if this name even if we have not gotten around to adding them all.  Vegaswikian 03:20, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:

Just a note here: there is now a third Curtis added to the disambiguation page. Van Tucky  Talk 02:05, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

We should only be looking at user-friendliness here. At the moment, we have over 100 incoming links to the screenwriter that annoyingly direct users to a dab page. The politician is currently in the news, but no doubt will quickly be less well-known; unless anyone has any overriding reason why we shouldn't make things easier for users (users looking for the politician would still have the same number of clicks to get there) I will move the page shortly.  E LIMINATOR JR  15:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Birthplace
Why does it say he was born in England in his bio under the picture but Wellington, NZ in the actual article? Can we get some clarification please? Taifar ious1   11:16, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

*Early* writing career?
Richard Curtis was 38 when he wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral, to call everything before that point "early" is rather sloppy. There's no mention either of his writing work with Tony Robinson, or a novelization of Squirm-I'll need to check on this, but the dates seem to match.

Curtis and Harrow: fagging
The article says: “he won a scholarship to Harrow School, where, as head boy, he abolished fagging. ”

Even if the citation didn’t fail, this would need changing. Curtis was not Head Boy at Harrow, he was head of his House - not the same thing at all. Luckily there is an excellent reference for this from The Times Educational Supplement in 2015 written by Curtis himself. This purports to be about how Curtis was inspired in various ways by his Classics master at Harrow, James Morwood, but it contains much more besides, including why Curtis objected to fagging. I will be altering the article shortly to accord with the TES piece. Brymor (talk) 02:01, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Makes sense to me.  If you are soliciting votes (1) I don't think you should need a vote in order to correct an obvious error (though I suppose if you honestly think the thing could become contentious it is a worthwhile courtesy to mention it here in case it does) and (2) Given that you have found a plausible source, please do it (except that you already did).  Especially if (3) the source cited for the false information is still accessible online yet appears to make no mention of Mr.Curtis.

 * Thanks. I didn't see the caption you quoted. I believe that the caption quoted is in error; the Wilson referred to is the subject here, and not another James E. Wilson. I may be wrong. The photographs of Wilson on this article are unmistakably the same individual, IMHO. I claim as support the Wikipedia article on the U.S. Horse Artillery Brigade, not a reliable source, I'll grant, but itself well-sourced (yet uncited). The article lists officers to the battery level and only one Wilson appears during the Peninsula Campaign period, the subject. Another Wilson does appear during the Gettysburg campaign (a J. Wade Wilson), but the Gibson photos are from 1862. The nose, the eyebrows, the crease between the brows? Unmistakably the same fellow, by my viewing. BusterD (talk) 02:56, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * According to the Annual Reunion of Graduates of the USMA, there was a James Eveleth Wilson who served in the Second Artillery during the ACW, but didn't transfer from the Fifth until October 1862. The OR also lists a James Edward Wilson, a sergeant in Co. A, US Corps of Engineers (himself a capable battery commander, but in Florida during the Seven Days). (OR, Series I, Vol. 6, pp 146, 160).

The poet was also a contributor to Gil Blas and other Parisian journals, distinguishing himself by the licence he permitted himself. To these "absences" from poetry, as Henri Chantavoine calls them, belong the seven volumes of La Vie pour rire (1881–1883), Contes pantagruéliques et galants (1884), Le Livre des joyeusetés (1884), Gauloiseries nouvelles (1888), &c.

An account of his varied and somewhat incongruous production is hardly complete without mention of his art criticism. Le Nu au Salon (1888–1892), in five volumes, with numerous illustrations, was followed by other volumes of the same type. He died at Toulouse, February 19, 1901.
