Carlos Pacheco

Carlos Pacheco Perujo (14 November 1961 – 9 November 2022) was a Spanish comics penciller. After breaking into the European market doing cover work for Planeta De Agostini, he gained recognition doing work for Marvel UK, the England-based branch of Marvel Comics, for his work on the Spider-Man magazine Dark Guard. He then began doing work for the American-based Marvel and DC Comics, where he was one of the first Spanish-born artists to make a major impact in that country, attaining popularity for his work on Avengers Forever, JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice, X-Men: Legacy, Fantastic Four, Green Lantern, and Captain America. He contributed to some high-profile storylines published by the Big Two, including 2009's "Final Crisis" at DC and 2013's "Age of Ultron" at Marvel.

Outside of corporate-owned comics, he reunited with his Avengers Forever collaborator, writer Kurt Busiek, to produce through WildStorm the 2003 creator-owned fantasy series Arrowsmith, which reimagines World War I in a world in which magic and dragons exist. That series garnered positive reviews, and an Eisner Award nomination for Best Limited Series. In 2022, Pacheco and Busiek produced a sequel, Arrowsmith: Behind Enemy Lines, which was also positively received, and was one of Pacheco's last published works.

Early life
Carlos Pacheco Perujo was born 14 November 1961 in San Roque, Spain.

Career
Pacheco was studying biology in Seville when he began working in comics, his first work being in Spanish-language editions of Marvel Comics published under the Cómics Forum imprint at Planeta De Agostini. He primarily drew covers, posters and pin-ups for Spanish translated editions of Marvel Comics, published at the time by Planeta under the imprint called Cómics Forum.

Pacheco's first published superhero comic was an eight-page story titled American Soldier with writer and translator Antonio Moreno, and published as a back-up in Marvel Héroes #41 (May 1991).

Pacheco later teamed up with writer Rafael Marín to create the characters Iberia Inc. and Tríada Vértice, two groups of Spanish superheroes, that starred in two miniseries published by Planeta-DeAgostini Comics under the imprint called "Línea Laberinto", with plots by Pacheco and Marin, script by Marin and art by Rafa Fonteriz (in Iberia Inc.) and Jesus Merino (in Tríada Vértice).

Pacheco first got attention in the United States for his work as penciller on Dark Guard, a four-issue Marvel UK title, and the first book he fully drew by himself, That assignment teamed him with writer Dan Abnett and inker Oscar Jimenez. This led to his international career, which began in 1993, when he was offered the art duties on Marvel Comics' Bishop miniseries, which was published in 1994, and which teamed him with writer John Ostrander and inker Cam Smith. Later that year Pacheco did his first work for DC Comics on The Flash #93–94 and #99, with writer Mark Waid and inker Jose Marzan Jr.

After that Pacheco's next stateside work came in 1995's X-Universe two-part limited series (a part of the "Age of Apocalypse" storyline), published by Marvel. Pacheco was joined by writer Terry Kavanagh and was again inked by Cam Smith. In late 1995 and early 1996, Pacheco and Smith collaborated with writer Warren Ellis on a Starjammers limited series. This series was successful enough that the creative team was reunited on Marvel's Excalibur ongoing series for a brief run in 1996. Shortly after this Pacheco became penciller on Marvel's Fantastic Four for two issues (#415–416), where he worked with writer Tom DeFalco as the title wrapped up in preparation for the "Heroes Reborn" storyline. By that point Pacheco's art had become a fan favorite, with his work regularly getting coverage in magazines such as Wizard. In early 1997 Marvel acknowledged this by assigning Pacheco to one of its flagship titles, X-Men, with #62 (March 1997). On that title he worked with writers Scott Lobdell and Joe Kelly and inker Art Thibert and produced the "Operation: Zero Tolerance" storyline. He left the series at #75 in May 1998.

After X-Men, Pacheco began work on Avengers Forever, a 12-issue limited series, where Pacheco worked with writers Kurt Busiek and Roger Stern and for the first time in the U.S. inker Jesus Merino, who from that point on became Pacheco's regular inker.

Pacheco's next assignment was in 2000, a four-issue Inhumans limited series, co-written with Rafael Marín with pencils by José Ladrönn and Jorge Lucas. Pacheco wrote, again with co-writer Rafael Marín, a return to the Fantastic Four, with vol. 3 #35. This time he took on the co-writing chores (initially with Rafael Marín, later joined by Jeph Loeb) as well as pencilling duties. Pacheco's pencilling contributions were shorter than expected, with his last art contribution coming in #50, and him leaving the series entirely by #54.

His next substantial work after Fantastic Four was for DC Comics: JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice, with writers David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns. This 96-page graphic novel united the Justice League and the Justice Society against common foes in the style of what once had been an annual tradition.

In 2003 Pacheco reunited with his Avengers Forever collaborator Kurt Busiek for the creator-owned fantasy war series Arrowsmith, published by WildStorm. This series envisioned a world where magic is real and the First World War was fought with dragons, spells, vampires and others used as weapons by both sides. The six-issue miniseries  garnered positive reviews, holding a score of 7.8 out of 10 at the review aggregator website Comic Book Roundup. The series earned Pacheco and Busiek and an Eisner Award nomination for Best Limited Series.

Pacheco returned to DC Comics to pencil the "Absolute Power" storyline in Superman/Batman #14–18 (Jan.–April 2005), where he was again joined by writer Jeph Loeb. The two told a tale in which, due to the time-traveling machinations of the Legion of Super-Villains, Batman and Superman took over the world and a group of Freedom Fighters has to rise up against them. Later that year at DC, Pacheco shared alternate monthly pencilling duties with Ethan Van Sciver on the new Green Lantern series written by Geoff Johns.

From 2006 to 2007, Pacheco worked with Kurt Busiek on DC comics' Superman, illustrating issues #654–658, 662–664, and 667. Due to the difficulty of drawing twelve issues a year, the final chapter of their "Camelot Falls" story arc appeared in Superman Annual #13 (January 2008).

In 2008, Pacheco produced covers for DC's weekly series Trinity, featuring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, and assisted artist J. G. Jones in illustrating the 2008-09 miniseries Final Crisis, on issues #4 to #6.

In February 2009, Comic Shop News announced that Pacheco signed an exclusive contract with Marvel. Pacheco's 2009 work included Ultimate Comics: Avengers. Pacheco was one of the artists on the Age of Ultron limited series in 2013 and collaborated with writer Rick Remender on the Captain America series later that year.

In 2022, Pacheco and Busiek reunited on a sequel, Arrowsmith: Behind Enemy Lines, which garnered critical acclaim.

In September 2022, Pacheco announced his retirement, and tweeted his final comics work, the cover to Damage Control (Vol 4) #2, which featured the characters Ant-Man and Wasp.

Awards and accolades
In 1996 the comics news magazine Dolmen named Pacheco its Best Spanish Creator. That same year, Wizard named Pacheco the Newcomer of the Year. That magazine included him in its list of the Top Ten Artists from 1997 to 2001, when he was ranked in the Number One spot.

In 2001 Pacheco received the award for Best Spanish Cartoonist at the Granada Comic Fair. In 2004, he received a similar award during Estepona Fantasy and Horror Film Week. That same year, he and writer Kurt Busiek were nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Limited Series for their work on Arrowsmith. At the 2010 Granada International Comic Fair, he was awarded the Andalucía del Cómic Award, in its first edition.

Pacheco was lauded for his accomplished in the town and country of his birth. In 2001 Pacheco he recognized as Hijo Predilecto ("Predilect Son", or "Favorite Son") by the Mayor of San Roque, where he was born. In 2011 the Commonwealth awarded him the Medal of the Campo de Gibraltar. In 2016 he was awarded the Medal of the Province of Cádiz. That same year, a street in San Roque was named after him.

Personal life and death
On April 14, 2022, Pacheco revealed on Twitter that he would be taking a sabbatical from his work, due to paralysis in his right leg that began the previous September, which had been caused by compression of nerves from the L5 vertebrae to his legs, and would undergo surgery and a rehabilitation period of 8 – 12 months. Pacheco explained that this was the reason why he was unable to complete his Fantastic Four assignment. That June, Pacheco's collaborator on Arrowsmith: Behind Enemy Lines, Kurt Busiek stated in the final issue of that miniseries that its follow-up, Arrowsmith: Beyond Borders, would be delayed due both to his own persistent migraine problems, and Pacheco's paralysis, which he revealed was the result of a small, difficult-to-detect spinal fracture. In September 2022, Pacheco announced on his Facebook page that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

Pacheco died at La Línea Hospital in La Línea de la Concepción, on 9 November 2022, at around 7.30pm CET, at the age of 60.

Marvel Comics memorialized Pacheco in a tweet posted on the day of his death, which read, "We mourn the loss of a dear part of the Marvel family, comic artist & writer Carlos Pacheco. His legacy of iconic designs and storytelling like Avengers Forever, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Excalibur, Captain America, and more will be remembered. Our thoughts are with his loved ones."

Juan Carlos Ruiz Boi, the mayor of Pacheco's birthplace San Roque, declared two days of official mourning. Flags at government institutions were lowered to half-mast. After consulting with Pacheco's family, Ruiz Boi also decided to create a funeral chapel in the plenary hall of the Palacio de los Gobernadores (Palace Of The Governors), at which the public would be able to pay their respects. Ruiz Boi praised Pacheco for registering as an organ donor, stating, "All of us who have known him will miss him, and he would like to offer condolences to his family and friends. I am sure that the rest of the Corporation and the people of San Roque will share my words, as well as the fact that two days of official mourning have been decreed. Likewise, a burning chapel is going to be set up in the Palace of the Governors so that all the people who wish to can pay homage to him… Our sadness is only lessened by the knowledge that in life, he achieved the recognition of all around him, that he knew and appreciated it. He was grateful that the City Council put up an avenue in his name, that he was named the town's Favourite Son and that, in his honour, there is a contest named after him."

Journalist Heidi MacDonald noted that one of Pacheco's final tweets was a set of lyrics from the song "And When I Die", re-recorded by Blood, Sweat and Tears, which MacDonald felt served as a fitting obituary for the artist:

 * And when I die
 * and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
 * There'll be one child born and
 * a world to carry on, to carry on
 * I'm not scared of dying
 * and I don't really care
 * If it's peace you find in dying,
 * well, then let the time be near.

Sparganium

Sparganium (bur-reed) is a genus of flowering plants, described as a genus by Linnaeus in 1753. It is widespread in wet areas in temperate regions of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The plants are perennial marsh plants that can grow to 3.5 m (depending on the species), with epicene flowers.

It was previously placed alone in the family Sparganiaceae. Sparganium is closely related to the Typhaceae and the APG III system (2009) includes Sparganium in that family. It has been determined from phylogenetic analysis to be the closest living relative of the genus Typha (cat-tail).

Summary
Sparganium, commonly known as the bur-reed, is a genus of aquatic plants of shallow marshes, ponds, and streams. There are 9 species found in the United States and Canada. The stem, which may be floating or emergent, emerges from a buried rhizome, which like many wetland plants, is dependent upon aerenchyma to transport oxygen to the rooting zone. The leaves are strap-like. The flowers are borne in spherical heads, which bear either male or female flowers. The seeds may accumulate in the soil as dense seed banks, which allow the plants to regenerate during low water periods.

Sparganium is an important component of aquatic and marsh vegetation in temperate to arctic regions. It provides food and cover for wildlife and waterfowl.

The genus name Sparganium was published by Linnaeus in Species Plantarum (1753), with two species recognized: S. erectum and S. natans.

Perhaps the first mention of Sparganium in the English language was made by William Turner (1562). Turner noted that there was no name for the plants in English, and suggested bede sedge or knop sedge. Further, he noted, "the virtues of Sparganium: The roote is good to be geven wyth wyne agaynste the poyson of serpentes."

Talk:Murder of Jean McConville

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 1 September 2020 and 12 December 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): AlliePatterson.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 04:37, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Untitled
Hello User:Lapsed Pacifist. On June 16 2005 you changed the wording in the Jean McConville article from

"The IRA did not admit their involvement until over 20 years later, when they passed information on the whereabouts of the body."

to this:

"The IRA did not admit their involvement until over 20 years later, when they passed information on the whereabouts of the body. After a prolonged search, co-ordinated by the Garda Síochána, her body was found."

That's incorrect. The Garda Síochána did indeed launch an extensive search in 1999, which in fact they expanded and continued for several weeks further than was intially planned, because no body could be located in the area specified by the IRA. Mrs. McConville's body was in fact only discovered - by accident - in 2003. I have since changed the article to reflect this. Cheers. Fergananim

IRA statement
The latest IRA statement was made on 8 July, in which they claim to have conducted an internal investigation which upheld their original claim that she was an informant. This probably merits a mention. 86.136.3.91 16:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Please respect the consensus
This discussion shows murder is inappropriate. Killed should be used, and if someone was convicted then "x was convicted of murder" should be used. Please respect the consensus of the discussion.--Domer48 18:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the useful reference, Domer48.
 * However, I must respectfully disagree that either

 * 1) a consensus was reached at all (or adjudicated) in the reference you quote above and
 * 2) that, if a consensus was displayed, it was as you describe.
 * I think that many of the arguments in the referenced discussion actually supported the original complaint:

 * "==NPOV - Murder vs killing ==
 * There seems to be a bizarre NPOV inconsistency being raised over articles relating to people killed in Ireland. There are (1) victims of IRA / PIRA such as 86 year old Sir Norman Stronge, 8th Baronet and James Stronge; (2) victims of Loyalists such as Pat Finucane (solicitor), (3) “victims” of the British army such as Kieran Fleming; and (4) suicides such as Bobby Sands. There is a vocal and persistent lobby which is pro Irish Republican, many of whom belong to WikiProject_Irish_Republicanism, which argues (I think) that a death is a killing until somebody is found guilty of murder even when that killing is generally defined and established as murder by law and in the international press."
 * Gaimhreadhan [[Image:Map of Ireland's capitals.png|15px]](kiwiexile at DMOZ) • 20:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

 * "Murder" is a legal term, therefore one that cannot be determined by the "international press". Please read the discussion thoroughly, unless the killer can has been found of sound mind at the time of the killing, it cannot be murder. So please provide evidence that McConville's killers were of sound mind? If not snap out of it. --Domer48 20:36, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If this was a legal Wiki, you might have a valid point. It's not, so you don't. Why don't you get a ruling as to whether plain english can be used on this Wiki?
 * The lede is supposed to encapsulate the rest of the article which is quiet clear that this was a murder - not an accidental, natural or judicially sanctioned death.

 * I do sympathise and understand that for Sinn Féin and the Provisional IRA, the current phase of the conflict is about the definition of the conflict itself. For the self-esteem of the so-called republican movement, and for the political future of Sinn Féin, it is vital that its 30-year campaign of violence be remembered as a just war, a regrettable but necessary method of achieving a legitimate aim. The vile and sordid deeds that run through that campaign may, under pressure, be described as wrong. They may be accepted as "mistakes". PIRA may acknowledge, in the curiously passive language it favours, that these things "should not have happened". But they must never, ever, be called crimes. God forbid!
 * Gaimhreadhan [[Image:Map of Ireland's capitals.png|15px]](kiwiexile at DMOZ) • 21:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the link Domer48, the outcome looks unambiguous to me, murder should only be used to describe convictions. Also where is the proof McConville was murdered? Has the manner of her death been made public? For all we know, McConville may have taken her own life in captivity knowing her betrayal would ultimately result in the traitor's fate of two in the back of the head? Scalpfarmer 09:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course; a widowed mother of 10 was kidnapped in front of four of her children, then shot herself in the back of the head, and finally buried her own body 50 miles away. Is that your story? Bearian (talk) 01:01, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Result of PIRA investigation
(moved here from his talk page at Vintagekits request):

Why exactly do you think that the views of PIRA should not be fairly represented on Wikipedia in reference to the (presumed?) death of Jean_McConville?

I am rather puzzled as to why you, Vintagekits, keep excising my new section referencing the PIRA "Statement on the the Abduction and Killing of Mrs Jean McConville in December 1972", (dated 8 July 2006) by P O’Neill, Irish Republican Publicity Bureau, Dublin

Is it just because you are still editing carelessly and without respect to other editor's work by just hitting the revert button when you see 'naughty words' such as Murder and PIRA, Vintagekits?

It is no accident that Mitchel McLaughlin's immediate instinct when asked about Jean McConville is to start talking about the 1981 hunger strikes. For those brave protests, in which 10 men starved themselves to death rather than submit to an ordinary prison regime and therefore accept that they were just criminals serving their time, were the ultimate statement of how viscerally important the issue is for the Provos. A less epic version of this struggle for the moral high ground was played out at Philadelphia International Airport, when a former PIRA member, Joe Black, was briefly detained by the authorities. He had served time for carrying out a kneecapping but answered "no" to a question on the visa form about whether he had ever been convicted of a crime of "moral turpitude". To accept that the deliberate mutilation of a non-combatant involved moral turpitude would be to acknowledge that normal standards of morality apply to IRA operatives. Such a conclusion is, for PIRA and its apologists, unfathomable.

The fact is that even by PIRA's own standards, the murder of Jean McConville and hundreds of other acts of violence it has perpetrated are crimes. PIRA justifies itself by claiming that it was engaged in a war, and that wars inevitably involve the infliction of violence on others. Along with Mitchel McLaughlin, it conveniently forgets that there is also such a thing as a war crime.

And by all accepted definitions of war crimes, the murder of Jean McConville was an illegal act. The International Criminal Court, of which Ireland is a member, clearly states that war crimes do apply to "an armed conflict not of an international character", a category which obviously applies to the irish troubles.

Under this heading, it defines as crimes a number of acts against non-combatants that the Provisional IRA perpetrated against Jean McConville, including "violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture", and "the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgement pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all judicial guarantees which are generally recognised as indispensable."

The Provisional IRA's refusal to disclose Jean McConville's fate or produce her body also constituted a war crime, that of "enforced disappearance of persons", defined as "the arrest, detention or abduction of persons by, or with the authorisation, support or acquiescence of, a State or a political organisation, followed by a refusal to acknowledge that deprivation of freedom or to give information on the fate or whereabouts of those persons."

With a hypocrisy that would be breathtaking had it not become so familiar, Sinn Féin regularly supports calls for these international laws to be enforced - so long as the crimes in question happened elsewhere. At the time when there were attempts to prosecute the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet in the UK and Spain, for example, An Phoblacht quoted with approval Virginia Díaz, a member of the Spanish prosecution team against Pinochet: "One of the consequences of the Pinochet case has been the creation of an International Criminal Court to take on cases of crimes against humanity. 'But what is more important', highlights Virginia, 'is the final confirmation that crimes against humanity are imprescriptible and that human rights are inviolable. There is no possible immunity to cover those responsible for those crimes'." Except, of course, the immunity of those inoculated against guilt by their own tender sense of honour.

However, I must congratulate your improvement in tone (if not the quality and care you take with your actual edits, Vintagekits). Keep up the improvement!... Gaimhreadhan (kiwiexile at DMOZ) • 20:44, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you really expect anyone to engage in a discuss with you or to assist you when you use abusive and provokative language such as that?--Vintagekits 21:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Been thinking about this, inspired by the attempt to categorise IRA Prisoners of War as "People Convicted of Terrorism" on the basis that such a category is verifiable fact and thus can't be POV. How about one for Jean Mc and others Category: People executed as touts. Verifiable fact. doesn't mean they were touts. Same logic surely? (Sarah777 23:50, 15 July 2007 (UTC))

 * Indeed it is the same logic, and it appears to be entirely valid per WP:V (except informer is not a proper noun). Now you have established the policy doesn't favour any particular POV. Congratulations. Rockpock  e  t  06:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Of course the prisoners were still POWs and should be categorised as such; but as I said at the start of this I'd accept the "convicted as" (despite my reservations regarding it's implications) if it is balanced by cat:POW. This is purely a compromise, not what I'd support otherwise; as I feel if somebody doesn't move we will get stuck here. (Sarah777 11:50, 16 July 2007 (UTC))

Since, after an interval of 10 days, nobody has answered my question: "Why exactly do you think that the views of PIRA should not be fairly represented on Wikipedia in reference to the (presumed?) death of Jean_McConville?" I now propose re-inserting the excised passage: "Result of PIRA investigation"... Gaimhreadhan (kiwiexile at DMOZ) talk  • 15:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Neutrality
I have been doing some research for the inevitable upcoming attempt to insert POV into this article. My comments are interspersed with extracts from Neutral point of view.

There is no dispute that McConville was killed, but whether McConville was murdered or not is POV, and will generally be based on the opinion of a journalist or politician. Simply because a journalist says it is murder does not make it so. The verifiable fact is that the inquest returned a verdict of unlawful killing.

''The policy requires that where multiple or conflicting perspectives exist within a topic each should be presented fairly. None of the views should be given undue weight or asserted as being judged as "the truth," in order that the various significant published viewpoints are made accessible to the reader, not just the most popular one.''

If murdered is placed into the lead instead of killed, this gives the view undue weight and asserts it as the truth. Thus doing so would be a breach of policy.

Assert facts, including facts about opinions—but do not assert the opinions themselves.

That McConville was murdered is an opinion, not a fact. She was killed, that is a fact. Thus it should not be asserted that she was murdered.

''However, there are many propositions that very clearly express values or opinions. That stealing is wrong is a value or opinion. That the Beatles were the greatest band in history is a value or opinion. That the United States was right or wrong to drop the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki is a value or opinion.''

Saying McConville was murdered falls under this.

''Wikipedia is devoted to stating facts in the sense described above. Therefore, where we want to discuss an opinion, we attribute the opinion to someone and discuss the fact that they have this opinion. For example, rather than asserting, "The Beatles were the greatest band," we can say: "Most people from Liverpool believe that the Beatles were the greatest band," which can be supported by references to a particular survey; or "The Beatles had many songs that made the Billboard Hot 100," which is also verifiable as fact. In the first instance we assert a personal opinion; in the second and third instances we assert the fact that an opinion exists, by attributing it to reliable sources.''

This shows how the opinion that McConville was murdered should be incorporated into the article. Brixton Busters 07:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

False accusation claims
you state as vindication for your revert "edit fails NPOV in that it takes sides in the IRA claim vs PSNI claim, which isn't for Wikipedia to do". Do you not mean the "IRA claim vs everyone else" considering it is only the IRA and their supporters who continue to perpetrate this falsehood? It is hardly just a PSNI claim. Mabuska (talk) 16:36, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * It means not taking one view over another per NPOV. The person who made the claim was as far from a supporter of the IRA as you are. I take it you don't believe the claims he made about Adams either so do you? Mo ainm  ~Talk  16:49, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You are the one violating NPOV seeing as it was the Police Ombudsman that found no evidence whatsoever, not the PSNI. Your insistence on the removal of "false" only tries to further imply that the IRA falsehood still has some traction, when in reality everybody knew the truth long before recent times. Mabuska (talk) 16:51, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I didn't remove 'false' from anything, there was an accusation made which is sourced it's not up to editors to put their spin on it that breaches NPOV as you know. Mo ainm  ~Talk  16:55, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Absence of proof is not proof of absence. It is true the Ombudsman found no evidence that she was an agent. It is also true the IRA claimed she was an agent and that they confiscated a radio from her. It is not for use to take sides, merely to point out both sides and let the reader decide.

Hypothetically speaking; The British Army would consider the murder of Jean McConville to be a major propaganda tool to be used against the IRA. Were that the case they would not want any information to come to light which might contradict that. It need not even be an official policy endorsed up the chain of command, an agent handler may be the only person knowing an agent's identity. One piece of paper removed from files and the identity of an agent is lost forever.

The Ombudsman finding was based on the evidence it was given. The Ombudsman herself, Nuala O’Loan, admits she may not have seen all the evidence.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 17:50, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

The Guardian newspaper handle the situation in a similar way to how I believe this article should. The 2014 article says " In 2006, after an inquiry into this failure, the police ombudsman for Northern Ireland concluded that there was no evidence that she had been an informer", then "Brendan Hughes also spoke about this case, telling the Boston researchers that he had recovered a radio transmitter from McConville's home, questioned her and warned her". It does not say the IRA wrongly believed, in fact it goes on to say "If Hughes's account about the radio was truthful – and McConville's children believe it to be preposterous". So given their uncertainty over whether Hughes's account was truthful or not, they are not willing to say the IRA wrongly accused her. I see a more reliable version of the link I posted above is already cited in the article, that notwithstanding the Ombudsman's findings there may still be questions that need answers.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 19:26, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Continued
"It claimed she had been passing information about republicans to the British Army in exchange for money and that a transmitter had been found in her apartment. A report by the Police Ombudsman found no evidence for this or other rumours" is perfectly neutral. It states the IRA claimed something, and that the Ombudsman found no evidence to support it. "It claimed she was killed because she was passing information about republicans to the British Army". Adding "falsely" before "claimed" to this sentence is clearly not neutral. The BBC are apparently unfamiliar with argument from ignorance, just because the Ombudsman found no evidence does not make the claim false, since there is the obvious third answer of there may have been an insufficient investigation, as Ed Moloney states in the source cited in the article.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 20:30, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Disputed edits made by IP(s?)

Regarding the sentence "Although maintaining that McConville was an informer, the IRA has since issued a general apology, saying it "regrets the suffering of all the families whose loved ones were killed and buried by the IRA", removing the words preceding the comma (which was done by an IP editor here) distort the actual statement, since the gist of it is that the IRA maintain Jean McConville was an informer, and only one sentence out of five is relating to the apology.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 20:34, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

 * The sources used in the article state that McConville was wrongly accused, so that should remain in the article. If you're taking out "wrongly accused" on the grounds that "the Ombudsman is wrong", some evidence to support your assertion should be offered. Absent that, we report on what the sources say. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 23:35, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

 * "Sources used state McConville was wrongly accused. We report what the sources say" is false. Obviously this excludes sources such as The Guardian (who use phrases such as "If Hughes's account about the radio was truthful" clearly showing that despite the Ombudsman's claim that they do not accept it as a fact)) and Ed Moloney (who clearly does not accept the Ombudsman's claim as a fact). That the IRA's claims are false is not a fact. What is a fact is the IRA have made claims, and the Ombudsman have found no evidence to support them. Anything beyond that is not a fact.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 23:41, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Please see WP:V. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 23:45, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Both sources I cited are verifiable. Since they disagree with the BBC, please justify why you continue to present the BBC's opinion as fact? Please also read argument from ignorance, specifically "is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false (or vice versa). This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes a third option, which is that: there may have been an insufficient investigation, and therefore there is insufficient information to prove the proposition be either true or false." Asserting that McConville is not an informer because it has not yet been proven true is as clear an example as it gets. Regards.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 23:47, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

 * And how would you class an assertion that McConville was an informer, based on nothing more than statements by a terrorist organisation that admitted her murder, with no evidence presented to prove their assertion? By this logic, we can include that Gerry Adams was an IRA commander involved in McConville's death. It just hasn't been proven - yet. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 09:40, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

 * We do include such an assertion in the article however it is never stated as fact. It is always made clear that it is the IRA that allege it, and that the Ombudsman found no evidence to support the allegation. Perhaps a different example will help my point be understood.

 * Despite numerous searches there is currently no evidence for life beyond Earth, be it aliens flying around in spaceships, plants or even single celled bacteria. Even though that is the case, the statement "There is no life beyond Earth" is not a fact. It's a possibility, but equally possible is the discovery of life elsewhere in the Solar System or beyond it.

 * There are at least three schools of thought regarding Jean McConville. First, she is innocent of any accusation of being an informer due to the Ombudsman finding no evidence. Second, she was an informer based on multiple IRA sources saying a transmitter was confiscated from her (minority view at best, admittedly). Third, it is impossible to reach a definitive conclusion due to conflicting and/or incomplete evidence (see here).

 * The IRA have alleged Jean McConville was an informer - fact
 * The Ombudsman's report found no evidence to support the allegation - fact
 * Jean McConville was not an informer - reasonable conclusion based on evidence, but not a fact
 * The IRA's accusation was false - reasonable conclusion based on evidence, but not a fact

 * I am not arguing that the IRA's claims should be given more weight, or that the ongoing investigation by Ed Moloney and others be given more weight. I am simply in favour of the previous stable version where the IRA's claims are stated with the key caveat that the Ombudsman found no evidence to support them. To include "wrongly" or "falsely" is stating opinion as fact, and excludes any other opinion. It is not neutral to do so.

 * I am happy to concede the sentence beginning "Although maintaining that McConville was an informer" could possibly use some amending, or possibly even removing altogether (the entire sentence that is), but I believe the change made to it ignores what the statement really said.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 15:39, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

 * I - and most reasonable people, I would imagine - would argue that actually it's "First, she is innocent of any accusation of being an informer due to no evidence to the contrary ever being presented by her accusers in the first place." Except, perhaps, at some kangaroo court where - given eye witness accounts of other such "trials" - a "confession" may have been extracted.  Everything else is secondary to that.

 * That aside, your contribution is positive and I thank you for it, even though we still disagree.

 * We say so-and-so was guilty of a charge because a court or an investigation found them to be guilty; or that so-and-so was innocent because a court or an investigation acquitted them. It's not "opinion" The Ombudsman investigated this issue and reported on it, and their finding was that there was no evidence.  In the absence of evidence, a person is innocent - it's not a matter of opinion. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 16:41, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Torture claim tagged as dubious
I have looked into this, and it appears to be at best an error or at worst a complete fabrication by Amanda Foreman, embellished by Wikipedia. I won't bother with the many inaccuracies in the opinion piece, I will just address the important one. Amanda Foreman wrote: "We also now know that she was interrogated and tortured after the abduction; she was beaten with such force that her bones cracked and her hands were mutilated. The actual cause of death was a single shot to the back of the head." There is no evidence for the claim that her bones cracked and her hands were mutilated, despite Foreman casually tossing it out as an established fact. There are two possible reliable sources of evidence - first hand accounts and medical evidence, and a third unreliable source of evidence - rumours and speculation. To date not a single person has admitted causing any such injuries to Jean McConville. There is no medical evidence to support the allegation, per multiple reliable sources:
 * Irish Independent, 21 October 2003 "The DNA tests were carried out in London after an earlier post-mortem examination at the Louth Co Hospital had concluded that Mrs McConville had been shot once in the back of the head. It ruled out suggestions that she had been mutilated and tortured before being murdered"

So there you have it, no evidence of any injuries except a gunshot wound to the back of the head. The original claim by Foreman is thus based on nothing more than rumour and speculation, and is contradicted by the medical evidence reported on prior to the inquest and given at the inquest. This claim was expanded upon when added to the article at 00:39, 1 May 2014, the addition reading "After being interrogated and tortured - her later post-mortem revealed cracked bones and mutilated hands". That the post-mortem supposedly revealed that has since found its way into news articles published after that time, such as the Daily Mail and Belfast Telegraph, journalists really shouldn't come to Wiki looking for facts for an article. I have tagged the offending sentence, and will be removing it in due course unless very reliable sources are provided. Mo ainm ~Talk  16:11, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Irish Times, 5 April 2004 "Dr Marie Cassidy, the State Pathologist, told the inquest Mrs McConville died from a single gunshot wound to the back of the head. A flattened .22 calibre lead bullet was found in her nasal passage during post-mortem. Dr Cassidy said there was no pathological evidence to suggest if Mrs McConville was kneeling when she was shot.  She also said there was no evidence on Mrs McConville's skeletal remains to suggest that she had suffered any other injuries prior to her death."

 * Based on the above, I see no reason why the information should remain in the article. But it would be prudent to allow anyone wishing to retain it some time to perform their own investigation.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 19:29, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you're wrong about Foreman making it up, since this claim clearly pre-dates that Guardian article. For example The People (October 5, 2003): "Despite reports in last week's News of the World claiming that the mother of ten had two of her fingers chopped off, detectives say the claims simply aren't true." There is a legitimate concern that Wikipedia has helped spread this rumour, so perhaps rather than removing it the article should mention it and include the very clear denial by the police? shellac (talk) 10:35, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe some text reading something like "McConville was killed by a gunshot to the back of the head, there was no evidence of any other injuries to her body" should cover it.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 10:42, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Lede
The claim in the lede that McConville was "brutally beaten" by the IRA after being kidnapped was included in discussion above, since the claim was tagged as dubious. "brutally" is inappropriate editorialising. There is no source for the claim. Foreman is not a reliable source. She was not there, she has not spoken to anyone who was there and her claims are denied by the Gardaí and the State's pathologist.

That McConville was beaten by unidentified people the night before her abduction is a different claim to the one currently in the lede, and it would be up to those wishing to include it to make a case for that and seek agreement. There is no evidence that it was done by the IRA, the Ombudsman's report does not even speculate that it was the IRA who were responsible for the events the day before her abduction.

The claim in the lede that McConville "was kidnapped, brutally beaten, and finally shot dead by the Provisional IRA" is partially incorrect and has been discussed above. I am correcting it again.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 10:20, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Maybe we could cite WP:BLUE considering everyone but those in deep denial seem able or willing to accept the widely known and acknowledged facts of the situation. But hey you continue to try to cover it up.... Mabuska (talk) 22:40, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

POV
People are pushing POV and wanting to insert the word murder in the title.

They also state that the claims of the British in Ireland are all true facts, and that the statements of Irish in Ireland are false. It is fine to say "So-and-so in England says what the Irish in Ireland say is false", it is POV to say such and such is false. Especially since the editor would have no way of knowing any how.

This article must be NPOV, and we have someone trying to push their POV into the article, change the article title from something neutral to something to fit their political agenda etc. Minimax Regret (talk) 07:10, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

 * People are pushing POV and wanting to remove the word "murder" from the title. They are doing this without following the WP:RM procedure, which is required for any contentious move. I therefore invite you to revert your move and open a proper RM discussion in accordance with policy.

 * Some editors are aware that multiple reliable sources have stated various facts, that are referenced in the article, which had been reflecting that.

 * My title is NPOV, "Jean McConville". You want to move the page and put the POV word "murder" in the title, which requires the WP:RM procedure.

 * You mention "someone trying to remove facts from the article". Your POV opinions are what is being removed.  I would personally like the sentence to be "She was correctly accused by the IRA of passing information to British forces" - however I follow NPOV so would not make it so.  Thus I follow NPOV and have the sentence as "She was accused by the IRA of passing information to British forces".  You desire to push POV and make the sentence "She was wrongly accused by the IRA of passing information to British forces".  As if you have some insight we don't whether she passed information to British forces or not (which would be original research any how).

 * Please follow Wikipedia NPOV policy, and follow the WP:RM procedure when you want to take a neutral page name like "Jean McConville" and insert your POV words like "murder" in the title. Minimax Regret (talk) 00:47, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Per Notability (people), this should revert to Murder of Jean McConville. I would ask, what is POV about "Murder"? Are you disputing the facts of her death?  How else could you describe this?
 * Let us suppose your claim,  "She was correctly accused by the IRA of passing information to British forces", above to be true (and that is the most POV statement here). If so, she was clearly then murdered by the IRA. What other word would you use? Andy Dingley (talk) 07:54, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Per Andy Dingley, McConville is notable for only one event – being murdered/killed by a notable group – so "Murder of…" is the correct title. See also Murder of Lee Rigby, Murder of Meredith Kercher, etc. — Jon C.  ॐ  09:03, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I disagree with the obvious POV pushing here by Minimax Regret. Mabuska (talk) 11:52, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Reply to : "My title is NPOV, "Jean McConville". You want to move the page and put the POV word "murder" in the title, which requires the WP:RM procedure." Are you for real? You moved the page from its longstanding title without first initiating a WP:RM procedure. I always try to assume good faith, but given that you've accused me of doing exactly what you had done is the height of bad faith. It's almost as if you were looking for a topic ban. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 14:11, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Indeed, the article was moved without argument or dispute in January 2013 by a completely different editor who cited the highly valid reason that Jean McConville is non-notable other than for her murder. The fact it has stood unreverted for over 5 years until now gives it long term consensus, which Minimax is ignoring and refusing to seek consensus about instead instigating false claims and accusations. The original article only consisted of Jean McConville as it was created by the indef-banned republican Lapsed Pacifist/Gob Lofa. Mabuska (talk) 22:11, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Marian Price and Gerry Adams, November 2023
User:FDW777 by this edit you removed both the accusation against Marian Price and her public denials of involvement. Despite your claim, no consensus was reached in the discussion on Talk:Marian Price about whether or not this was a WP:BLP violation. Given that two newspapers published stories where Marian Price denied her involvement we are WP:NOTCENSORED and they should be included.

By this edit you removed the loyalist image that suggested that Gerry Adams was involved in the murder stating "that image can go as a WP:BLP violation too, since the allegations to beyond what was alleged and present a wholly one-sided and inaccurate fringe viewpoint". Gerry Adams is undeniably a public figure and so is not covered by the "seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed or is accused of having committed a crime" provision of WP:BLPCRIME. The page already states that Dolours Price and others claimed that Adams was an IRA commander and that he ordered the killing. Adams was held for 4 days for questioning in 2014 so its hardly a "fringe viewpoint".

The McConville murder and the related pages will soon be getting a lot of attention as Disney is filming a 10 part series based on Say Nothing (book) due for release next year. Mztourist (talk) 04:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

 * No consensus was reached for inclusion on that page, thus by default the consensus is to exclude. Discredited guesswork by someone lacking sufficient standing to make an allegation is as serious as it gets, police and prosecutors decide who suspects are, not authors. That's because they work using admissible evidence, not guesses.

 * The image, the only purpose of which is to attack a living person, speaks for itself. FDW777 (talk) 10:33, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

 * There was no consensus as to whether or not Price was a public figure and therefore whether or not the protection against accusations under WP:BLPCRIME applies to her. Radden Keefe stands by his allegation against Marian Price and has never retracted them, meanwhile Price has never sued him, which is what you'd do if you were innocent.

 * The image provides a picture of McConville (which is currently lacking from the page) and the accusation against Adams, who as a public figure, does not get the protection against such accusations under WP:BLPCRIME. Mztourist (talk) 10:47, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Not stating a position either way on anything else for now, but you can just crop the image to only include McConville? Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 12:33, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I can crop it if necessary. Your input on the issues would be useful if you care to provide it. Mztourist (talk) 06:56, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Cropping the image would make it a copyright violation (which it may be already, possibly due to de minimus issues. Of course there is nothing stopping anyone uploading a non-free image of McConville as a fair-use image, which would be a far more sensible idea than one attacking a living person. I cannot stress enough that random accusations of murder based on flimsy and discredited "evidence" don't belong per WP:BLP (in particular, but not limited to WP:BLPCRIME), so whether Price is a public figure or not is irrelevant. I further state that the innocuously framed RfC isn't a green light for the addition of any content, as pointed out by another editor I agree that this RFC is improper, since the actual question is whether the article should cover Patrick Radden Keefe's accusations against her - this fits the standard model of an RFC that is asking a question that the creator believes is easier, which they then hope to use (or misuse) as an answer to a more difficult question. If you want to know whether Patrick Radden Keefe's book should be used as a source in the article, ask that question directly. FDW777 (talk) 13:36, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

 * We have an image (on Commons?) that isn't a copyright violation, but cropping it would make it one? How does that follow?! Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 12:40, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

 * see here regarding the cropped image of Bobby Sands taken from File:Stille wacht voor de overleden IRA-hongerstaker Bobby Sands voor het Britse consulaat in Amsterdam, Bestanddeelnr 931-4748.jpg. You can take a photograph that includes a minimal amount (although as I say, I'm not sure how minimal the use actually is on this occasion) of a copyrighted image without it being a problem, but you can't crop out the rest, or vast majority, of the image and claim the original minimally used coprighted image is now valid on whatever licence you want to release it on. FDW777 (talk) 15:34, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Who do you believe owns the alleged copyright? The person who took the original photograph of McConville? Or the person who took that photograph and used it in a poster? Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 16:34, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Actually, it doesn't appear to matter: copyright has expired on the original photo, it would seem. Anyone can use it. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 16:41, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I believe it's more complicated than that due to the author apparently being unkock, see commons:Commons:Anonymous works. It's probably something better off addressed at Media copyright questions. The situation, to the best of my knowledge, is that the original photo is copyrighted to someone, and making a poster using that image doesn't transfer the copyright to the poster creator. FDW777 (talk) 14:24, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Typo, and you mean "author apparently being unknown"? Let's apply some common sense. It's a photograph. And we know it was taken before December 1972 - so copyright on the original photo (which is readily available) has definitely expired. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 14:54, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

 * FDW777 you are conflating different issues here. Adams is a public figure and so does not get the protection against accusations under WP:BLPCRIME, so the image is not a BLP violation. I note that elsewhere you have tried to sanitise: a valid source about Adams' role in the IRA based on a 16 year old Talk Page discussion. Mztourist (talk) 06:50, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

 * The image is a wider WP:BLP violation, not just BLPCRIME. You'll also find that BLPCRIME doesn't automatically allow any content to be included. Further, you might also want to see this edit referred to elsewhere where I expanded the section on Adam's alleged trajectory through the IRA so it became more than just a laundry list of people saying the exact same thing ("Adams was in the IRA", allegedly of course!). FDW777 (talk) 15:37, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Explain how the image is a "wider WP:BLP violation." I know what BLPCRIME says, Adams is a public figure and so even accusations can be included on WP. Looking at the image: it provides a photo of McConville which doesn't appear elsewhere on the page; it states that she was abducted, tortured and killed - all true; it conflates Sinn Fein with the IRA, a common accusation; and it confirms what is in the paragraph, that Adams was questioned for 4 days in relation to the McConville murder but released, presumably due to lack of evidence. An edit where you deleted over 5kb of content, confirms that you are sanitising Adam's page. If you have that many different people saying the same thing about a secretive organisation its likely to be true and deserves due weight on the page. Mztourist (talk) 03:09, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

 * If you don't think an image that exists for the purpose of attacking a living person is a BLP violation, I think it's time your editing of this subject was brought to a close. FDW777 (talk) 14:24, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

 * You continue to ignore BLPCRIME. As Gerry Adams is a public figure, accusations can be included on WP. It is not a BLP violation. I think its time you go to the Teahouse and had someone else explain BLP and BLPCRIME to you. Mztourist (talk) 03:04, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

{{od} I have requested closure on the Marian Price RfC. My own view is that she is covered by BLP, and that the sources given are not strong enough to override this. Scolaire (talk) 12:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

The RfC is now closed. The result was: Scolaire (talk) 11:58, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * This discussion resulted in a clear consensus not to include the accusations.
 * There was also a rough consensus that the subject was not a public figure for purposes of BLPCRIME

Well, at least it's now understood that the murder was a murder and comes under BLPCRIME on account of murder being a crime. Incidentally, it does not much matter in law which of the three alleged abductors fired the fatal shot. They could all have been held guilty of murder by joint enterprise should their presence have been proved in court. All the same, there's an element of 'what the dogs in the street know', as they say in the North, meaning everybody knows but people don't feel safe to say, as Michael McConville has mentioned.

Talk:Warwick High School (Virginia)

Untitled
So ... what is notable about Marcus Vick? Other than the fact that his brother makes millions and is probably the best QB in the NFL ... Basically the only thing notable about Marcus Vick is his lack of direction and his many infractions with the law ...

Wow!!!!! I had no clue that other wikipedians attended Warwick. It's fantastic that that is the case. Certaimly there is a rift between IB and non-IB. And I agree that Lilley rocks! --Steven

I feel as if this article is openly biased towards the IB sector of the school. Perhaps the matter of the fact is that few wikipedians attend Warwick. --StevenL 15:56, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

I have edited this article to be more factual, which involved deleting some random nonsense. Feel free to add useful information in its place. Uvaduck 22:32, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I think the fact that whoever edited the article to catagorize all the "non-IB" kids as "unneccessarily hostile towards anyone who plans on graduating high school" is a perfect example of that superiority complex. As difficult as it may be to believe, there are non-IB kids going on to top colleges. Also, that school sucked. -warwick alum

POV, unsourced
I have removed the following content from the article which appears to be a violation of NPOV and was also unsourced. Vaoverland 16:21, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

''Currently Warwick High School is able to boast the longest streak of a district-used field with non-working lights. Currently the streak is at 3 years of the lights being broken and no end to this is in sight. In addition to this, Warwick High School is able to boast that it has the worst field in the district. The Menchville High School soccer team even went as far as to practice for the Warwick-Menchville game on their football team's practice field in order to prepare for the inevitable Warwick bounce due to the massive clumps of grass on the field. Hopefully, in the coming years, the field will improve from its probable top ten position in the state's worst district game fields. One can only hope though, and any improvements seem highly unlikely especially since at Warwick many of the boys bathroom stalls do not even have a door on them.''

William Styron
This article says Styron attended Warwick HS. Styron's article says: "Styron attended public school until third grade, when his father sent him to Christchurch School, an Episcopal college-preparatory school in the Tidewater region of Virginia. Styron once said, "But of all the schools I attended ... only Christchurch ever commanded something more than mere respect — which is to say, my true and abiding affection."" What is right?

Warwick High School Speech and Debate Program
The Warwick High School speech and debate progam has been a successful component of inter-school competition since its "re-birth" in Fall 2004. The speech team component of the program has been six-time consecutive district champions, made six showings and both regional and statewide competition, has four regional championships over three different categories of speaking, and has amassed 6 state finalists. The debate team component has been district champion three out of four years (2007, 2008, 2010), has qualified numerous debaters to regionals and has had state semifinalists and finalists under its belt.

Additionally, the team has competed at such prestigious tournaments as Wake Forest University's (Winston-Salem, NC) Earlybird, Myers Park High School's (Charlotte, NC) Laird Lewis Tournament, Southside High School's (Greenville, SC) Sampons Robertson Tournament, Terry Sanford High Schools's (Fayetteville, NC), East Chapel Hill High School's (Chapel Hill, NC) The Open Tournament, and Ardrey Kell High School's (Charlotte, NC) Knight's Quest Tournament. Awards were won at all tournaments attended.

The program students competed in the 2006 National Forensic League National Qualifier Tournament, the 2008 Virginia Catholic Forensic League State Tournament, and the 2008 Virginia Catholic League National Tournament.

THe program is directed by Deon Garner, who is a 1995 graduate of Phoebus High School (Hampton, VA) and a 1999 graduate of Morehouse College (Atlanta, GA). Deon was a successful debater both in high school and in college. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.183.137.82 (talk) 15:32, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Treble (association football)

A treble in association football is achieved when a club team wins three trophies in a single season. A continental treble involves winning the club's top-level domestic league competition, main domestic cup competition, and main continental trophy. Although winning a second-tier continental trophy (e.g. Europa League) has also been described as a continental treble, it is not as widely accepted. A domestic treble involves winning three national competitions—including the league title, the primary cup competition, and one secondary competition, such as a secondary cup.

Competitions which consist of a single match or a two-leg match are not normally counted as part of a treble (e.g., the FA Community Shield, Supercopa de España, Supercoppa Italiana, Trophée des Champions, DFL-Supercup, UEFA Super Cup, Recopa Sudamericana, FIFA Club World Cup, Intercontinental Cup and others).

Continental trebles
This list includes clubs who have won their country's top-tier league and the primary cup competition (the double), in addition to the major continental tournament, all within a single season. Tokyo Verdy of Japan and Barcelona of Spain are the only clubs to win continental trebles for both their men's and women's sections, completing the feat in 2019 and 2021, respectively. Barcelona is the only club to win multiple trebles with both their men's and women's team, completing the feat in 2024.

Men
22 men's clubs have achieved the feat with 30 occurring in total, the first being Celtic of Scotland in May 1967, and then TP Mazembe (then known as FC Englebert) of what was then the Republic of the Congo in November 1967. European teams have won the most continental trebles with ten, by eight clubs. The only countries to have more than one team win a continental treble are Mexico, New Zealand, England and the Netherlands, with two teams winning trebles each.

No South American team has achieved the feat with the above stipulations, making it the only continent to never have a continental treble winner. Multiple Brazilian teams have won some combination of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, their state championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the now-defunct Taça Brasil, plus the Copa Libertadores, but never by winning the Série A, Copa do Brasil, and Copa Libertadores.

Five men's clubs have won the continental treble two or more times: Al Ahly of Egypt, Auckland City of New Zealand, Barcelona of Spain, Bayern Munich of Germany and Cruz Azul of Mexico. with Cruz Azul being the first team to achieve it in 1997. Al Ahly and Auckland City are the only teams with more than two continental trebles, with both having won four. Auckland City completed this achievement first, winning their third treble in 2015 and fourth in 2022. Al Ahly and Auckland City are also the only men's clubs to win trebles in back-to-back seasons, though Al Ahly were the first to do this after winning in both 2006 and 2007.

Women
Nine women's clubs have won a continental treble with these stipulations, five of which are European clubs, one Asian, one African, one South American and one Oceanian club, with a total of 15 trebles across all the clubs. The first to do so was 1. FFC Frankfurt in 2002, who won the treble again in 2008. The only other women's club to achieve it more than once are Lyon, who has done so five times (a record for both men's and women's clubs) and FC Barcelona who have achieved it twice. Lyon are also the only women's club to win trebles in back to back years, and have completed this feat on two occasions.

The lack of women's continental trebles compared to men's can largely be attributed to the absence of continental competitions for women until recently. The UEFA Women's Champions League did not begin until 2001, the Copa Libertadores Femenina did not begin until 2009, the AFC Women's Club Championship did not begin until 2019, the CAF Women's Champions League did not begin until 2021, the OFC Women's Champions League did not begin until 2023, and the CONCACAF W Champions Cup is set to have its inaugural edition to begin in August 2024. Additionally, many nations do not have a top level cup competition for women, and some do not even have a national women's football league.

Domestic trebles
Domestic treble is usually made up of the league, main domestic cup and the most prestigious secondary domestic cup (usually being a league cup, like the Scottish League Cup or the Thai League Cup). Usually super cups or regional titles, like the Brazilian states championships, Biscay Championship and Glasgow Cup, aren't included in the treble, so domestic trebles are only possible in some countries, as most federations hold only one league and one cup competition, thus clubs from countries like Spain, Germany and France, who used to hold a secondary national cup but were discontinued, currently cannot achieve the domestic treble in the most accepted form. Domestic trebles that might include super cups, or regional titles, are considered to have an "asterisk" attached to it for not being perceived as a "genuine" achievements.

Men
76 men's clubs have won a domestic treble, 27 of whom have done it more than once, with 131 trebles occurring overall. The first team to win a domestic treble was Ireland's Shamrock Rovers in 1924–25. Scottish side Celtic has won the most domestic trebles, with eight. Celtic, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are the only men's sides to have won both a domestic treble and a continental treble, but Celtic are the only one to win both in the same season. Celtic also hold the record for the most consecutive men's domestic trebles, with four.

Women
Eight women's clubs have won domestic trebles, and three of those teams have won their domestic treble more than once, for a total of 16 trebles overall. Scotland's Glasgow City has won the most domestic trebles, with five. Glasgow City also have the most consecutive women's domestic trebles, with four. Arsenal of England became the first women's club to win a domestic treble when they won it in 1992–93. Them, along with Tokyo Verdy Beleza of Japan and Corinthians of Brazil are the only women's clubs to win both a continental treble and a domestic treble, and each team won the domestic treble in the same season they won the continental treble (2007 for Arsenal, 2019 for Tokyo Verdy and 2023 for Corinthians).

CKUW-FM

CKUW-FM (95.9 MHz) is the campus radio station at the University of Winnipeg in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The station broadcasts with 450 watts effective radiated power. Its transmitter and antenna are on top of #7 Evergreen Place in Osborne village in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Local cultural programs are a large part of the schedule, and a quarter of CKUW's programming consists of spoken word shows covering local news, the entertainment scene, and community/social justice issues. The station operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week with all the programming being done by volunteers.

History
Beginning as CJUC, the station was started in 1963 by student David Shilliday and physics professor Ron Riddell. In 1968 the call sign was changed to CKUW-FM to mark the founding of the University of Winnipeg. At that time the station operated as a closed circuit station broadcasting to Lockhart Hall lounges, the Buffeteria and the Bulman Students Centre. Despite the small presence on campus, CKUW had a disproportionate effect on the local music scene, including spawning local music magazine Stylus and launching the career of several local media personalities.

After a decade of fundraising and planning for an actual FM radio station, CKUW's licence application was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in October 1998. Test broadcasts started on April 27, 1999, and the official kickoff broadcast started on April 30. Station manager Rob Schmidt gave a brief introduction, and the first song was "That's Entertainment" by The Jam.

Long time shows featured on CKUW radio include Bluesday with Rockin' Ronnie, People of Interest (morning news magazine, formerly The Beat), Say It, Sista! (feminist news), Black Mask (anarchist viewpoints), Stylus Radio (based on the University of Winnipeg music magazine, Stylus), The Ultra Mega Sports Show (sports commentary), and Antennas to Heaven (political satire). CKUW also airs some popular syndicated talk radio shows from around North America, such as Democracy Now! and Alternative Radio.

Fundraising
CKUW is volunteer driven and runs as a non profit organization. The station receives its core funding through a student levy at the University of Winnipeg. The levy is responsible for just over half of the stations budget and only covers basic operations.

Community programs
Radio Camp is a community radio project that CKUW organizes and sponsors every year for kids 12 and under to introduce them to community radio. They are enrolled for two weeks in the month of July to produce two radio shows that broadcast live with their stories and creative input with help from CKUW staff. The purpose is to introduce alternative media to a younger audience while having fun with radio as well.

CKUW Radio Drama is a community radio program that was implemented in early 2008. A radio drama is a story that is made for radio through the use of script and sound to convey action and dialogue. Funded by the Manitoba Arts Council, the radio drama, "At the Monarch's Convenience" takes place in downtown Winnipeg's West End with the fictional Monarch's Convenience Store as the backdrop in the story. It tells the stories of various individuals living in the area of Sargent and Ellice Avenue dealing with problems such as runaway children, vandalism, pregnancy. The characters find a way to deal with the situations in a "beautiful, moving, and worth their time and effort". The director of CKUW's Radio Drama is Jason Hooper. A group of writers consisting of students, outside community members and CKUW volunteers help to write and produce the show.

Committees
There are various committees the station has made, such as the Board of Directors and Programming Committee. The Board of Directors is elected by the volunteers to manage the long-term issues of the station. The group consists of one university representative, one student union representative, three elected student representatives and four elected community representatives. An Annual General Meeting of CKUW is held once a year for all members to attend and vote on new policies, bylaws, and new members on to the Board of Directors.

CKUW alumni
Alumni from CKUW include former MuchMusic VJ Bradford How, CITI-FM Morning Show Host Joe Aiello, Winnipeg Free Press Columnists Jill Wilson, Ben Sigurdson, CBC Producer and DJ Sarah Michaelson (aka Mama Cutsworth), CJNU-FM announcer/operator Andy (Drew Williams) Tataryn, radio personalities Alan Cross, Andrea Collins, and former CJKR-FM Music Director Casey Norman.

Russian State University for the Humanities

The Russian State University for the Humanities (RSUH; Росси́йский госуда́рственный гуманита́рный университе́т (РГГУ)), is a university in Moscow, Russia with over 25,000 students. It was created in 1991 as the result of the merger of the Moscow Urban University of the People (est. 1908) and the Moscow State University for History and Archives (est. 1930).

History
The Moscow Urban University of the People also known as the Shanyavsky People's University was founded in 1908 on the initiative of the Russian patron of the arts, Alfons Shanyavsky, and played a role in Russian higher education from its inception.

The Moscow State Institute for History and Archives, founded in 1930 as a center for the preparation of archivists, became over the years a focus of scientific research. In its archival pursuits in areas of history and such auxiliary realms as the study of primary sources, archaeology and palaeography, it managed to preserve Russian research. By the beginning of the 1990s, this institution had achieved university level which enabled it to become the organizational heart of the RSUH, founded in 1991.

The university, has established a connection to international scientific community and has ties with universities abroad, including Université Laval, Trinity College, Helwan University, Cairo University, University of Freiburg and University of Vienna.

Alexander Borisovich Bezborodov, Rector of the university, was suspended by the European University Association (EUA) following support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Union of Rectors (RUR) in March 2022, for being "diametrically opposed to the European values that they committed to when joining EUA”.

University structure
RSUH currently comprises eleven institutes, eighteen faculties, eight laboratories, and fifty departments. There are five university-wide faculties:
 * Faculty of Philosophy
 * Faculty of History of Art
 * Faculty of Sociology
 * Faculty of Cultural Studies
 * Faculty of PR and Advertising

The eleven institutes are:

 * Historical and Archival Institute
 * This consists of Faculty of Archiving, Faculty of Documentation And Technotronic Archives, Faculty of History, Political Science, and Law and Faculty of International Relations and Foreign Regional Studies.
 * Institute of Economics, Management and Law
 * Including of Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Management and Faculty of Law
 * L. S. Vygotsky Institute of Psychology
 * Including Faculty of Psychology and Faculty of Psychology of the Education
 * Institute of Mass Media and Advertising
 * Including Faculty of Journalism
 * Institute of Linguistics (Russian Wikipedia)
 * Including of Faculty of Theory and Practice Of Linguistics
 * Institute of Information Sciences and Security Technologies
 * Including Faculty of Information Systems and Security
 * Institute of History and Philology
 * Including Faculty of History and Philology
 * Institute for Oriental and Classical Studies (Russian Wikipedia)
 * International Institute of the New Educational Technologies
 * Institute of Additional Education
 * Institute of Regional Post-Soviet Research

Across the university and its institutes and faculties, there are more than 50 scientific centres. Its curriculum extends from preparatory to post-doctoral studies. In 2023, Educational and scientific center—Ivan Ilyin Higher School of Politics was established.

The university also serves as the main centre for the Moscow School of Comparative Linguistics.

Campus
The main campus of the university is located near the Novoslobodskaya Metro Station in the North-Western part of Moscow. It is a closed campus consisting of 7 corpuses, 6 being used for the educational purposes and one (Corpus 4) used as a dormitory for the international students. The main corpus is the corpus 6, which, among other things, consists of the main University library and the University Museum. The university scientific library has a physical, as well as digital collection, providing scientific works and fiction. The libraries reading room, also located in the main corpus, consists of 3 big halls (2 of which have a second tier). Corpus 6 is connected to the corpus 7, which was the first building in the main campus to enter the new university in 1991. Corpus 7 used to serve as Moscow Urban University Of the People (in the name of A. Shanyavskiy).

There are 2 other smaller separate campuses in the different parts of the city, one serving as a home for Institute of Information Sciences and Security Technologies, and the other one as a home for Historical and Archival Institute. The latter is located in Kitay-gorod in the city center. It used to be a main campus for Moscow State University of History And Archives, which later became a base for newly established Russian State University for the Humanities. The institute occupies a network of historic buildings along the Nikolskaya Street, including the former Moscow Print Yard and the cells of the Zaikonospassky Monastery.

Ratings
In 2014, the Expert RA agency included the university in the list of higher educational institutions of the Commonwealth of Independent States, where it was assigned a rating class of “D” (acceptable level of graduate training). Already in 2017, at a meeting of the public council of the United Russia party project "Modernization of Education", according to the rector of Moscow State University, Viktor Sadovnichiy, RSUH, among other universities, entered the top ten "leaders of the Russian segment" of education.
