Talk:List of impact structures on Earth

Adding
I'll be adding to this page, there are still a bunch of craters with wikipedia articles already so I'll go for them first, then add in the other craters that still need work. Hope people find this page useful! --Fxer 18:03, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

Purpose
The list of earth impacts on the Impact craters page wasn't very impressive, it'd be nice to have a page with more stats on the craters at a glance, plus the coordinates link gets you right to the google satellite map of the area etc... --Fxer 18:03, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard
 * Wow, nice additions! That's a ton of info, it just quintupled (or so) the size of the article :) --Fxer 02:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Missing

 * The Nördlinger Ries Crater is missing. With 25km, I think it should be in the list. LordofHavoc 15:40, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

 * The Sirente crater field, the main crater lake only 140 meters across, but the first found in geologically-young terrains of Italy . I'd make the Sirente article myself, but there are dozens of y'all more competent. --Wetman 00:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It does have a page and I've now added it to the "unconfirmed" table. There is a lot of controversy about this one; looks like a small impact crater, but equally good arguments that it is a man-made water storage feature. --Zamphuor 09:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

The impact crater of S%C3%B6derfj%C3%A4rden is missing. El Ucca (talk) 17:51, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I believe that there may be two, huge, impact craters not recognized. One is the very circular structure on the northwest of Hudson's Bay, Canada, approximately 700 km across. The second is the smaller very nearly perfectly circular structure, on the southeast portion of Hudson's Bay, approximately 500 km across. Beelcher Islands are volcanic, and may have resulted from the impact penetrating the crust sufficiently to enable lava to reach the surface. Another possible large crater is Ungava Bay, 200km across, in northern Quebec, Canada. (Roger Bryenton, Sep 8, 2011)

WikiCraters
I was thinking we should increase info on craters into a wiki for them what do you guys think--Jk305 05:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Silverpit
Shouldnt the UK's silverpit crater be included in these lists?  Jamie | C 21:38, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It's there now in the "unconfirmed" table, until such time as someone drills it and confirms the purported impact origin. --Zamphuor 09:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hungen crater??
Hello anonymous user... what source do you offer for the recently added Hungen crater? I can find nothing indicating that this meteorite fall produced a known crater. There is no wiki article about it as there are for other craters. No listing in the Earth Impact Database. Neither Google Earth or a Google search on "Hungen crater" produce any discussion of this impact, to say that a crater was produced. And the coordinates do not even match what is listed in the meteorite fall databases. --GregU 07:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I just deleted the link back to this page on the Hungen (the town) wiki page. Seems to have been a well meaning confusion between meteorite fall and impact crater. -- Zamphuor 12:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Wabar Crater, Saudi Arabia
I came to this via the Kabaa page, where it said that part of the Kabaa at Mecca, the Black Stone, is thought to be a meteorite, possibly from Wabar in Saudi Arabia. A look at the Wabar page doesn't mention this crater, and it's not on your list. I don't feel competent to add it - any takers? Here's a relevant website: http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/jwynn/3wabar.html Jasper33 16:11, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * My apologies - just found it under Asia. Must get my eyes checked ...  I'll change the links on the Kabaa/Black Stone pages so they point to the right Wabar page Jasper33 16:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Should move unconfirmed impact craters to a separate table at the end
These excellent lists contain mainly confirmed impact sites as listed on the | Earth Impact Database, widely recognized as an authoritative (and to some degree conservative) listing. So far so good, but they also contain a few unconfirmed sites, some little more than wild speculation inflated by media hype, and the general reader won't know the difference. I'd suggest we move the following to a separate table at the end entitled Unconfirmed proposed impact sites

 * Kebira - looks somewhat promising but reported from remotely sensed data only
 * Gatun structure - looks somewhat promising but to my knowledge no definitive evidence published
 * Wilkes Land - very speculative
 * Shiva - very speculative
 * Mahuika - very speculative
 * Silverpit - looks very promising but not drilled, so remote data only
 * Panther Mountain - looks somewhat promising but to my knowledge no definitive evidence published
 * Snows Island Crater - only information comes from an unpublished draft manuscript

Could also add Bedout and Sirente crater, simply because they already have their own wiki pages, but both are controversial. There are many other unconfirmed impact craters, some with way better evidence than most listed above (they just haven't had the media hype), but I wouldn't propose adding any more, just sticking to the ones that already have wiki pages.

Silverpit is a tricky one. Most impact specialists seem to believe that it will turn out to be a genuine (and excellently preserved) impact crater, but there is a long tradition of not confirming impact craters on geophysical (in this case seismic) or other remotely sensed data alone. Impact is confirmed on solid mineralogical and/or geochemical data only, which in the case of Silverpit would require drilling beneath the sea floor.

If no loud complaints or better ideas I'll do the appropriate moving shortly – Zamphuor 02:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Speaking as a non-expert... this makes sense to me. By the way, I've run across some inaccuracies in the Earth Impact Database. Based on that and on what you say, my impression is that it is most authoritative on if the crater is confirmed or not, but slightly less authoritative on the exact details (coordinates, size) of the craters. In some cases the coordinates don't match (are a bit off from) the image displayed immediately below on the same page. Would you agree with that assessment of its value as a source? --GregU 11:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi GregU, for lots of impact sites, particularly those deeply eroded or buried, the original size and age are open to interpretation and different research papers may give different (sometimes wildly different) estimates. The way I understand it, the Earth Impact Database is operated on the basis consensus among the committee members based on all the sources available to them at the time. It is up to individual researchers to bring new findings to their attention for consideration and possible inclusion. As such it is common for some of the figures given in the database to be different from those in any particular paper. Also it appears that the committee doesn’t meet all that often, so significant new finding may take a while to get in. As for coordinates, they seem to be rounded off to the nearest minute, or in some cases nearest 10 minutes (perhaps as given in the original papers), which doesn’t make much difference for big craters, but can make a lot of difference for small ones. If the crater is clearly visible on Google Maps I think it’s acceptable to point the coordinates in Wikipedia right at the center. One final thing about the Earth Impact Database is that the committee tends to be quite conservative and some craters that look pretty good (like Silverpit) stay out until diagnostic criteria are properly documented; I think this is a good scientific approach, even if it upsets a few hopeful crater hunters  – Zamphuor 12:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've done it. If any of these sites reach confirmed status, we can move them back into the main tables. -- Zamphuor 13:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Arguments over whether Bedout is an impactor or not should preclude it, however Bedout being so contentious should deserve a mention as a 'possible' petedavo 06:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Bedout is now listed in the "unconfirmed" table --Zamphuor 09:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

Woodleigh
Woodleigh is constantly being misquoted as being 40km in size when the facts are proven that it is an extinction event crater of an estimated diameter of 120 km, the multi-ring Woodleigh impact structure is arguably the largest proven impact structure in Australia and the fourth largest on Earth. petedavo 07:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * More work and lots of papers and conference abstracts have now been written on Woodleigh since the GSWA references you list. The size is still controversial, though the authors of the particular paper that said 40 km have now upped their estimate to 60 km. Most authors agree it is somewhere between 60 and 120 km, some adamant it is 120 km, but the problem is that the crater is both eroded and buried, so estimating the original size comes down to how you interpret the rather poor quality geophysical data and very limited drill hole information. The inferred age keep changing too, as new techniques are tried, with some authors not yet convinced that the age problem has been solved. -Zamphuor 13:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I changed it to 60-120 km, ranking it using the conservative value. This should be better at least. Also I'm not sure if a References section is appropriate for "List of" articles like this. The reference is implied to be the individual articles themselves which should have their own reference sections. If we tried to add direct references to all facts in this list it would eclipse the actual information. --GregU 19:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Incomplete lists
Should this list still be flagged as "incomplete"? I think it contains most everything in the Earth Impact Database now doesn't it? Even though we are still finding the occasional glaring mistakes -- slow work to verify all the entries. --GregU 21:04, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we can now dispense with the "incomplete" tag. The one part that is incomplete is the listing by size which does not yet duplicate all the sites listed by locality, but this is an internal ordering problem. I've been intending to expand the size table, but haven't had the time. There are some other unconfirmed sites that I know have wiki pages, that I've been intending to add to the "unconfirmed" table; might get to that today. --Zamphuor 01:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I've been thinking of the "list by size" as a summary of the comprehensive listings below. Only those confirmed craters over a certain size, or which are otherwise notable. In some cases the numbers in this list are simplified from the numbers below. I'm not sure it's worth it to try to maintain every entry in both sections -- it almost doubles the maintenance burden since most craters don't make the top list. If we do add everything to the top list then my guess is we'll then want to split it out onto a separate page. Another option would be to try to do it all in one list that you can sort by size or by an additional continent column. But then you lose the ability to have section headings and a ToC which I like... --GregU 05:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, perhaps it should be titled "selected craters listed by size" or "notable craters listed by size" and perhaps the size table should follow the "by continent" listings, which remain the main resource. BTW, for some reason someone just nominated Obolon' crater in Ukraine as an "article considered for deletion". I've quickly added a few references to it and a Keep vote, but you might like to add your opinion. --Zamphuor 05:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Sub-dividing
I've just sub-divided this article, partly to overcome a coordinate template bug, but also because it's very long anyway. I've also changed the coordinate templates to the new coord, which lets users choose the preferred display style (DMS or decimal) and has the added advantage of marking up each location with a Geo microformat. Andy Mabbett 14:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Changed intro text to reflect your splitting of the article. If you do this I think "Unconfirmed Craters" should also be split off; they are less important than confirmed sites, so why stay on the main page. Also the "Mexico" list is actually to Canadian craters - can you fix? --Zamphuor 14:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * [Canada/Mexico; unconfirmed] All done; please check. Andy Mabbett 15:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and good work. I think splitting the unconfirmed craters under their regions works well. The only remaining small problem I can see is that Iturralde (unconfirmed crater in Bolivia) should be in unconfirmed under South American craters. --Zamphuor 15:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, and Kebira (unconfirmed in Egypt) should be under Africa. --Zamphuor 15:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Both done, thanks. Andy Mabbett 15:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good, thanks. --Zamphuor 15:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

hCard
I've now applied the hCard microformat to this page (but not, yet, the sub-pages - I may need to tweak it). hCard effectively wraps the Geo microformat and adds a name field. It can also include the location, but I don't think that's going to be possible inside the wiki-table markup. See Project Microformats for more about microformats. Andy Mabbett 23:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Such lists of coordinates can be exported as KML (for use in Google Earth, for example) via Brian Suda's site, in this format:

 * http://suda.co.uk/projects/microformats/geo/get-geo.php?type=kml&uri=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_impact_craters_on_Earth

 * The same URL can be pasted into Google Maps as a search, and will show the locations, as push-pins on a map

 * I've requested a template which will generate such links, for any page on which it appears. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 10:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

 * The template kml was created - and promptly nominated for deletion. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 22:08, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Title
The title of this list is very misleading. I thought it would list all the impact craters on earth. It should be 'List of notable impcat craters on earth'. 81.159.88.164 (talk) 19:38, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorting by crater age?
Does anyone know how to fix the "age" column so it can be sorted properly, say, from oldest to youngest crater? I tried removing the billion/million units and instead expressed them in megayears, but it still doesn't sort it correctly. :-( Titus III (talk) 11:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I need list of impacts by time with size, type of object: comet, solid, multiple fragmrnts; and subsequent events. The sort by size is not very useful. Is it ok to sort impacts by time. Where, how ? 76.16.176.166 (talk) 02:09, 25 June 2009 (UTC) I see there is a way to sort it but the value have to be numeric or expresed as 000n.d Ma to be sorted as alpha.

Shiva Crater
I wonder why Shiva crater is not mentioned in the list. Is there some reason or oversight?

Raama (talk) 10:49, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 * It's regarded as unconfirmed (see List of impact craters in Asia), because it isn't listed in the Earth Impact Database. Mikenorton (talk) 11:12, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

List inclusion criteria narrowed: confirmed by EID, >20km diameter
I tightened up the inclusion criteria for this top-level list. Rather than leave it up to everyone's varying perceptions of what is notable, I made the list everything 20km or larger listed on the Earth Impact Database. That roughly equates to the current top 50, but will grow over time as more >20km craters are discovered and confirmed. I filled in a lot of craters that were missing from this list above 20km. I removed everything below 20km. Sorry - Woodleigh is back to 40km because that's what it's listed EID. Publish a paper if you want them to change it. Wikipedia uses EID's numbers. Ikluft (talk) 01:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Lonar Crater
The Lonar crater lake is not listed or mentioned anywhere in this article though it's a part of it. Please do confirm and add it properly. Further references are available at and at विशाल तेलंग्रे (talk) 13:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Lonar crater is tiny and WAY too small to be included here (only 1.2 km..).  Does anyone know why or when it was added to this list which specifically only features craters 20km and larger?  This lake should be removed from this list as it does NOT fit the requirements, and should not be part of it. --98.191.121.244 (talk) 02:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Removed Lonar crater lake from the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.6.69.2 (talk) 23:45, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Coordinate error
The following coordinate fixes are needed for N 44° 36' W 113° 0' is the location the Earth Impact Database gives for Beaverhead impact crater. Certainly looks like a crater there in Google Earth. http://www.passc.net/EarthImpactDatabase/beaverhead.html Bizzybody (talk) 10:59, 15 December 2011 (UTC) —Bizzybody (talk) 10:59, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Earth Impact Database sometimes rounds off the coordinates. Santa Fe Impact Structure's coordinates are wrong too.  I never bothered fighting it when someone "corrected" my GPS-measured position in that article with the incorrect coordinates on the other side of Santa Fe from EID. The only solution is to find another Wikipedia-acceptable source.  Otherwise just give up because Wikipedia's reference zombies will come to devour you. Ikluft (talk) 06:38, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually the best solution would be to report the correction to the Earth Impact Database and get them to update the listing, which could then be used here without getting reverted by the zombies. But good luck on that. Ikluft (talk) 07:12, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Featured lists?
I was just checking on the lists within WikiProject Geology and I came across this list: List of impact craters on Earth and its sub-lists. They seem to be well-organised and complete, what more needs to be done before they become featured lists? Nwhit (talk) 23:31, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The criteria for a featured list are given at Featured list criteria. One criterion that is clearly not met is that it should have an engaging lead. Also, the notability criteria for stand-alone lists need to be met. In particular, this list needs to cite some source that establishes the notability of the list as a group. RockMagnetist (talk) 01:59, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Sorting
I fixed the sorting of one of the tables, but it was painful. If someone adds a new entry, they should add a sort template, where the first paramter is the value divided by 10,000; make sure to use a decimale point and exactly five positions, then use whatever for the second parameter. I didn't make the same change for the unconfirmed list, if someone wants to do it, it should work.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  20:24, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Dear Sphilbrick, why do you use the total diameter of the structures, and not the estimated sizes of the craters - which is what EID uses? For comparative purposes, that seems more realistic. Some craters are the collapsed transient craters, while others represent the entire multi-ring structure (Vredefort). Why don't you use the numbers from EID; they represent a much more realistic comparison. Take the Bosumtwi crater, for example, it may have a ring structure about 20 km wide, but the crater is 10½ km wide. The crater diameter is invariably claimed to be 10½ km in Wikipeadia and elsewhere, but if the same principle as is used for the Vredefort crater is used for the Bosumtwi crater, then it is 20 km wide.

Ps : "Is Ries crater typical for its Size?" by K. Wünnemann, J. V. Morgan & H. Jödicke, 2005. That can be read here: http://specialpapers.gsapubs.org/content/384/67.full.pdf That paper describes the impact structure/impact crater size confusion, although there are other papers which describes this phenomenon as well. http://www.passc.net/EarthImpactDatabase/index.html 2.104.66.152 (talk) 13:31, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Numbers in section "All craters listed alphabetically"
User:Titus III recently added numbers after each wiki link as follows:

See: I removed the numbers (temporarily) because of some counting errors and also because I think the significance of the numbers is not clear enough (yet). Presumably the numbers are the number of confirmed impact craters in each continent? First the errors: there are no confirmed impact craters in Antarctica, so the number should be 0. The number for Asia should be 19 not blank. The number for North America should be 61 not 64. I suggest that the numbers need clarification, even if it is perhaps only adding the word "craters" after each number, or (my preferred version) "xx confirmed craters and yy unconfirmed craters". Another possibility could be a very brief explanation at the start of the section before "See". GeoWriter (talk) 11:01, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * List of impact craters in Africa (19)
 * List of impact craters in Antarctica (19)
 * List of impact craters in Asia
 * List of impact craters in Australia (26)
 * List of impact craters in Europe (47)
 * List of impact craters in North America (64)
 * List of impact craters in South America (8)

 * User:GeoWriter: I had assumed that the Wiki articles per continent, since they start by citing the Earth Impact Database (EID), were correctly updated. Unfortunately they were not. Some unconfirmed craters were added, and some confirmed ones were missing. So I had to laboriously (sigh) check each article against the EID. After some effort, I'm happy to say they now have the same number as the EID, and they total to 188. I have also made a table in the main article for the convenience of those who wish to see the statistics at a glance. Titus III (talk) 23:41, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

 * It's good that the information in this section is now consistent with the EID database. Yes, it's a laborious task but I think that this article and the other list articles that you corrected are now better as a result of that cross-checking. GeoWriter (talk) 09:48, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Inconsistencies between tables and interactive map
I just noticed something: the figures displayed in the Earth Impact Database map and the tables in the article itself don't match. This is the case for multiple craters, and the error ranges from being spot on (Ries crater) to being almost a factor of two out (Vredefort). I am putting a self-contradictory template at the top of the article to draw attention to this. How did this happen?--EnronEvolvedMy Talk Page 15:17, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

"Falkland (Malvinas) Plateau anomaly"
This "impact structure" (Rocca et al., Geophysical evidence for a large impact structure on the Falkland (Malvinas) Plateau) is highly dubious and should not be contained in the table of unconfirmed craters (see https://doi.org/10.1111/ter.12284 and https://doi.org/10.1111/ter.12285), unless these latter two critical papers are also cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.170.196.53 (talk) 14:20, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

This is a different castle, not Hunyadi Castle. Apparently they both have the same name, but one is in Timmy, another one in Hiidy. :-) bogdan ʤjuʃkə | Talk 18:03, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Agnes Chan

Agnes Meiling Kaneko Chan is a Hong-Kong-born Japanese singer, television personality, university professor, essayist and novelist. Since 1998, Chan has been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and supports the Japan Committee for UNICEF. In Japan she is professionally known as Agnes Chan (アグネス・チャン), Agnes being her Christian name.

Early life
Agnes Chan was born at Tsan Yuk Hospital in Sai Ying Pun, She is fourth daughter from her family, She have three sisters and three brothers, Her father was born in Hong Kong Island.

She began singing and playing guitar in her junior high years in Hong Kong, as volunteer work for fundraising events. She had a chance to record a cover of Joni Mitchell's "The Circle Game" with her older sister, actress Irene Chan, and it became a hit song in Hong Kong. She became famous throughout southeast Asia through several of Chang Cheh's movies, including Young People and The Generation Gap.

Japanese singer/songwriter Masaaki Hirao brought Chan to Japan, and in 1972 she recorded her first Japanese pop hit, "Poppy Flower (ひなげしの花)." Her clear voice, pretty looks, and imperfect Japanese made her a teenage idol. In 1973 her third single, "Splendor in the Grass (草原の輝き)," earned her the Japan Record Grand Prix "Rookie of the Year" award. She graduated from The American School in Japan in 1973.

In 1973, she first appeared on Kōhaku Uta Gassen, the annual New Year's Eve musical competition aired on NHK, with "Poppy Flower (ひなげしの花)", and subsequently made two more consecutive appearances on the show.

Chan enrolled in Tokyo's Sophia University and studied for two years, after which she decided to take a break from the entertainment business and study social child psychology at the University of Toronto in Canada.

After graduating in 1978, Chan returned to Japan to resume her singing career. Her first Cantonese album was released in Hong Kong in 1979. She won a prize for her peace thesis for International Youth Year 1984. Her first concert in China, a benefit for Soong Ching-ling's children's fund, was held in 1985 at Beijing's capital gym for an audience of 54,000.

Chan's 1984 visit to Ethiopia during a drastic drought and food shortage was covered for the Nippon Television Network's annual "24-Hour TV" charity special. Through these events, she resumed her volunteer work as she continued her entertainment career.

In 1986, Chan married her former manager, Tsutomu Kaneko, and gave birth to her eldest son in Canada. When she returned to Japan the next year she would bring her infant along to the workplace, which was seen as highly controversial ("Agnes" became something of a buzzword in Japan) and raised the question of a mother's place in the working world.

In 1989 Chan began studying with Stanford University's department of education. With Myra H. Strober, she investigated the situations of 10 graduates from Tokyo University and Stanford 10 years after their graduation. This showed significant differences between the men and women of Japan and the US, and earned Chan her Ph.D in 1994. Chan returned to Japan as a lecturer, essayist, and university professor.

In 1998, Chan was appointed the first ambassador of the Japan Committee for UNICEF, established as an independent local non-governmental organisation in Japan, under agreement with UNICEF.

Chan's education had a profound impact on her singing career: by 2000 her recordings had taken a darker, moodier tone.

In 2002, Chan began her work as a novelist with Perfect Couple and Bullet Ring.

Chan released her first self-cover single, "Splendor in the Grass 2005 (草原の輝き2005)," in 2005, and Asahi beverage used the song in an herbal-tea commercial. Chan's latest single is "Flower of Happiness (しあわせの花)". In October she won the 14th Pestalozzi Education Award presented by Hiroshima University.

Her new English-language album Forget Yourself, including a duet with legendary Chinese performer Jackie Chan, was released in the United States in February 2006.

Chan is planning to release three new Japanese singles and make an album during 2007; she also plans to perform 35th-anniversary concerts in 100 Japanese cities and Beijing, China in 2007 and 2008.

In October 2007 it was reported that Chan had undergone breast-cancer surgery in a Tokyo hospital, and is expected to make a full recovery.

She is a Roman Catholic.

Nevertheless, there are countries that have chanceries to house their missions, namely Australia, Brunei, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kuwait, Malaysia, Philippines, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, and Vietnam.

Kaibiles

The Kaibiles are a special operations wing of the Armed Forces of Guatemala. They specialize in jungle warfare tactics and counter-insurgency operations. Since 1974, more than 1,250 soldiers have graduated from the international training programme, which has a duration of eight weeks. Of this number, 85% were Guatemalan soldiers.

The corps' soldiers are distinguished from regular troops by maroon berets with patches bearing a blazing sword. Its motto, inspired by Henri de la Rochejaquelein, is: "If I advance, follow me. If I stop, urge me on. If I retreat, kill me."

History
On 5 December 1974, Guatemala's military government created its Commando School (Escuela de Comandos). Three months later it renamed it the Kaibil Special Operations Training Centre (Centro de Adiestramiento y Operaciones Especiales Kaibil). The name "Kaibil" is derived from Kayb'il B'alam (Kaibil Balam), a Mam indigenous leader who evaded capture by the Spanish conquistadors under Pedro de Alvarado.

Initially, the Kaibil Centre was located on two estates, El Infierno ("Hell") and La Pólvora ("Gunpowder") in the municipality of Melchor de Mencos, Petén department. On 12 January 1989, it was moved to the former headquarters of Military Zone 23, in Poptún, Petén.

Training
According to the Ministry of Defence, the Kaibil Centre's mission is to train and develop elite commando forces: "To select, by means of arduous, difficult training under physical and mental pressure, members of the army capable of engaging in commando operations."

Recruitment is voluntary. However, several physical and psychological tests are required before entering. The training is given twice a year and lasts 60 days. Only 64 participants are allowed per training period, not older than 28 years of age. No more than 10 have graduated on a single period. Members of foreign military forces are sometimes selected to participate in training.

The commandos are trained in guerrilla warfare, counter-guerrilla operations, military behaviour, map reading, psychological preparation, military intelligence and counter-intelligence. Their training includes a special hand-to-hand combat system known as Temv-K'a (which means "Hands of Storm"), communications, survival techniques, obstacle courses, military hiking, special weapons, demolitions and emergency medical training. This includes aerial operations, day and night navigation, camp setup and security, evasion, escape, interventions and ambushes.

Training is extremely physically and mentally demanding, and takes place during both daytime and nighttime. Sleep is permitted for no longer than three hours a day, but only if the right is earned. The right to eat must also be earned; before being allowed to eat, soldiers must successfully climb a rope, do five pull-ups, ten push-ups and run two miles in 18 minutes or less wearing full combat gear, then duck walk to the mess hall, after which they are given 30 seconds to eat. The first stage of training, which lasts 21 days, consists of theory instructions and practical military training, where the military and morale levels of a candidate are tested. It is followed by hard military training in the jungle, which includes instruction in jungle warfare as well as demolition and detection and deactivation of landmines, scuba diving, waterborne operations, construction of improvised training, SERE training, basic air mobile techniques, small-unit patrols, react to contact, and ambush training. In addition, cadets are exposed to prisoner of war camp situations and survival courses. During the last stage, they are trained to eat "anything that moves", including snakes and ants, as well as roots, to collect dew drops from leaves, as well as how to execute annihilation attacks, intelligence maneuvers, and penetration into enemy territory. During this stage, candidates must patrol through thorn-filled brush wearing nothing but underwear, roll around in thorns to fortify the body to pain, and spend two days in neck-deep water without sleeping in extreme tropical heat. This stage is called El Infierno ("Hell").

During training, every soldier has a cuaz (which in Q'eqchi' means "brother") assigned for the rest of their training. They become partners: they sleep, eat, and work together all the time. If one makes a mistake, they are both punished for it.

The Kaibiles are infamous for their reputed practice of forcing recruits to kill animals, which includes raising a puppy and bonding with it before killing and eating it, as well as biting the heads off live chickens. In addition, recruits perform field surgery on themselves, and are forced to drink water out of recently fired artillery shells. As part of the course's finishing ritual, every recruit must drink "Bomb", a mix of tequila, whisky, rum, beer, water and gunpowder, served in a bamboo glass with a bayonet tied to it. Soldiers must drink it carefully, so as not to get drunk and cut themselves with the bayonet. Once they successfully complete this ritual, they are inducted into the Kaibiles.

Even though in the past they were meant to be an anti-guerrilla unit, today they are oriented towards anti-terrorism, anti-kidnapping and anti-narcotics efforts, in line with current needs.

Human rights issues
In February 1999, the Commission for Historical Clarification (Comisión para el Esclaracimiento Histórico, CEH), the truth and reconciliation body established under United Nations auspices by the 1996 Peace Accords that brought an end to the country's 35-year-long Civil War, called attention to the brutalising nature of the training conducted by the Kaibil Centre in its final report, Guatemala: Memoria del silencio ("Guatemala: Memory of Silence"):

"The substantiation of the degrading contents of the training of the Army's special counter insurgency force, known as Kaibiles, has drawn the particular attention of the CEH. This training included killing animals and then eating them raw and drinking their blood in order to demonstrate courage. The extreme cruelty of these training methods, according to testimony available to the CEH, was then put into practice in a range of operations carried out by these troops, confirming one point of their decalogue: 'The Kaibil is a killing machine.' (CEH, §42)"

The commission's report documented examples of massacres of civilians by the Kaibiles, most notably the December 1982 Dos Erres massacre.

In December 1996, shortly before the signing of the Peace Accords, President Álvaro Arzú spoke of his intention to preserve the Kaibiles in peacetime but to rededicate them to another war: the war on narcotics and crime. Addressing a Kaibil graduation ceremony in Poptún, he said: "Now this new army of peace will face an enemy that perhaps is much more powerful than the one we faced for many years. We are talking of drug traffickers and criminals who want to corrode the country; they are better armed, equipped, and trained than the enemies we had to face in the past." However, under the terms of the Peace Accords, the army was to have been restricted to defence from external attack, which would preclude involvement in the sort of domestic police actions proposed by President Arzú.

The Kaibiles' record and reputation led the Roman Catholic Church's Interdiocese Project for the Recovery of Historical Memory (Proyecto Interdiocesano de Recuperación de la Memoria Histórica, REMHI) to recommend that the group be disbanded in its April 1998 report, "Guatemala: Never Again" (Guatemala: Nunca Más).

According to Jane's Intelligence Review "The army has refused to disband the Special Forces Training and Operations Centre, housed at El Infierno, in the vicinity of Poptún, Petén." In December 1998, Jane's reported that there were three groups of Kaibiles, one consisting of instructors, and two consisting of 162 commandos apiece. Each group was divided into four 38-men platoons, further subdivided into squads of 9 soldiers.

United Nations Peacekeeping
Currently there are Kaibiles stationed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as part of the United Nations MONUSCO peacekeeping force. On 23 January 2006, a unit of 80 Kaibiles failed in an attempt to capture Vincent Otti, the deputy commander of Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army, in Congo's Garamba National Park. Eight Kaibiles and at least fifteen guerrillas were killed in the resulting gunfight.

Drug cartel membership
More recently, it has been alleged, some former members of the Kaibiles have formed relationships with the Los Zetas drug cartel. Los Zetas are a group of elite Mexican paratroopers and intelligence operatives who deserted their Special Air Mobile Force Group in 1999 and have since been hired as "enforcers" by the drugs traffickers of the Gulf Cartel. However, Los Zetas now operates as an independent organization since its rupture from the Gulf Cartel in early 2010.

Luigi Cornaro

Alvise Cornaro, often Italianised Luigi (1484, 1467 or 1464 – 8 May 1566), was a Venetian nobleman and patron of arts, also remembered for his four books of Discorsi (published 1583–95) about the secrets to living long.

Early life
Born in Padua, the son of an innkeeper, who claimed a connection to the noble Cornaro family of Venice, a connection he was at pains to prove, Cornaro expanded a modest stake from his mother's brother into a fortune based on his entrepreneurial skills, especially in hydraulics that reclaimed wetlands for farming, expressed in his Tratto di Acque ("Tract on Water management") of 1566.

Later life
As a patron, Cornaro sat to Tintoretto for his portrait and guided the career of the Veronese artist-architect Giovanni Maria Falconetto, whose Loggia and Odeo Cornaro (1524) for Alvise's then suburban garden in Padua was an early Renaissance-style building in the Veneto. As financial advisor to the Bishop of Padua, he secured for Falconetto the commission to design the Villa dei Vescovi ("Villa of the Bishops") at Luvigliano, in the Eugaean Hills, as well as his own Villa Cornaro in Este. Later in life, from about 1538, Cornaro was acquainted with the young mason who was to become Andrea Palladio. Cornaro's own views on architecture are expressed in his Trattato dell'architettura ("Treatise on Architecture"). Cornaro constructed two theatres, the Odeo Cornaro in Padua and another in the gardens of his villa at Este.

Publications
When he was about 40, Cornaro found himself exhausted and in poor health, a condition he attributed to a hedonistic lifestyle with excessive eating, drinking, and sexual licentiousness. On the advice of doctors, he began to adhere to a calorie restriction diet specially for morbid obese/anorexia nervosa persons, centered on the "quantifying principle" of restricting himself to only 350g of food daily (including bread, egg yolk, meat, and soup) and 414 mL of wine. His book Discorsi della vita sobria (Discourses On the Temperate Life), which described his regimen, was extremely successful, and "was a true reconceptualization of old age. As late as the Renaissance it was largely the negative aspects of this phase of life which were emphasized ... Cornaro’s method offered the possibility for the first time not only of a long but also a worthwhile life." After his conversion to a holistic lifestyle, he remained in vigorous health well into old age.

In 1550, when Cornaro claimed to be about 83, he was urged to write down his secrets of health, and its English translation, often referred to today under the title The Sure and Certain Method of Attaining a Long and Healthful Life, went through numerous editions; he wrote three follow-ups in 1553, 1558, and 1562. The first three were published at Padua in 1558. They are written, says Joseph Addison, in the early 18th century periodical The Spectator (No. 195), "with such a spirit of cheerfulness, religion and good sense, as are the natural concomitants of temperance and sobriety." Friedrich Nietzsche criticized the work for mistaking the consequence with the cause, insisting that Cornaro's diet is not the cause of his long life, but rather that the cause of his long life - which Nietzsche gives as his slow metabolism - is the reason for his diet.

Cornaro maintained that longevity was desirable and "God wills it". He rejected ascetics who believed man must suffer in this life to attain salvation in the next, arguing that there was no reason one could not enjoy both his earthly existence and his heavenly one. In addition, he rejected conventional wisdom that old age was a period of misery and decay, writing "And now some sensual and unreasonable individuals pretend that the existence of a man after he passes the age of 65 cannot be termed a living one, but a dead one. I will plainly demonstrate that they are mistaken, for I have a desire that all men should attain my age, which is the most beautiful period of life." He also commented that at the age of 83, his health was good, he could perform most functions unassisted, and he had a wide circle of younger friends and correspondents. Cornaro also firmly condemned those with a live-fast-and-die-young mentality, stating that "They don't stop and consider the virtue of ten more years of active life, at a point where we've reached a high point of experience and wisdom, two things that can only be honed with time."

He died at Padua at age 98, according to his birth and death date in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica; other sources give his age at death as 102. However, Cornaro deliberately overstated his age by consistently increasing amounts as he got older. Therefore, it seems safer to assume his birth date to be 1484, the one he declared in an esposto he lodged to Serenissima, both because of the degree of officialism imposed by that context and because that date is the numerical maximum among the ones he provided along his life.

In the work known as Illustrissimi, a collection of letters written by Pope John Paul I when he was Patriarch of Venice, Cornaro serves as one of the "recipients" of the letters. There are 40 letters in all, mainly to people in Italian history and fiction, but also to internationally well known fictional and historical characters such as Pinocchio, Charles Dickens, Hippocrates, and Jesus.

Talk:Seleucus I Nicator

Untitled
Aldux, There is no evidence whatsoever for your claim of Seleucus having any success against the Mauryas. If anything, the vast majority of historians (your unnamed and questionable sources being the exceptions) advanced the opposite. Ancient Western historians, Justin through Strabo, would've been celebrating this "advance" to Pataliputra. Moreover, Seleucus would not have voluntarily ceded half his empire, especially for 500 elephants (they would've been his anyways according to your notion). There's enough of this philhellenic fantasy floating around on other pages. Please don't add to it. Regards, Devanampriya

 * Half his empire? Where did that come from?80.217.145.164 16:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Wrong image?
Is the first image really a bust of Seleucus I Nicator? This image looks like a picture of the same bust which is labeled here as "Bust of Attalus I, circa 200 BCE from ". Paul August ☎ 18:12, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

I've done a bit more research. The image file Image:seleukos_nikator.jpg says: "From http://www.livius.org/l, in the public domain". However following that link gives a different image for Seleucus I Nicator. So, assuming the uploader didn't make a mistake, I'm wondering if the cite originally had this image, found it to be "incorrect" and has since changed it. Paul August ☎ 18:28, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

I asked the uploader of the image about this and he responded:

 * "I dont now. I took the picture from livius.com. and uploaded last year. I think that it is probably the bust of Attalus I because it is replaced on livius.com. with another picture. I think this picture sould be delated and removed from page Seleucus I Nicator and put another. (sorry for bed english) Boris Živ:

If someone wants to upload the image from the Livius site (assuming there are no copyright problems) we can add that image here. For now I've removed the image from the page and moved one of the first coin image up. Paul August ☎ 22:54, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Children?
Seleucus had three children yet four are named? I would change it but I don't know how.

 * If you do not know...how could you write this? Anyway, you click on "article" and then "edit" to the right of the place you wish to change, in this case, over Seleukos head (Statue).80.217.145.164 16:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

This complaint is correct. Achaios is not attested as a son of Seleukos and probably wasn't. The families were certainly closely related, but Achaios was more likely a younger brother or first cousin..203.192.77.228 (talk) 23:18, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * What is the evidence for the birthdate of Antiochus in the following sentence?
 * Seleucus also took his future wife, the Persian princess Apama (daughter of Spitamenes), with him into India as his mistress, where she gave birth to his bastard eldest son and successor Antiochus I Soter (325 BC). At the great marriage ceremony at Susa in the spring of 324 BC, Seleucus formally married Apama, and she later bore him at least two legitimate daughters, Laodice, Apama and a son Achaeus.
 * Yet at Antiochus I Soter we are told his birthdate is unknown. The point in the quoted section seems to be to make a fuss over legitimacy, but I don't yet see where there are grounds for this. Therefore I have placed a "citation needed" against the word bastard. And rew D alby  15:26, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

No religion in infobox?
What was his religion? I think it must be added. Bladesmulti (talk) 03:48, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Son of "god"?
"A cult of personality formed around the later members of the Seleucid dynasty and Seleucus was later worshipped as a son of god." Which one? JanderVK (talk) 21:13, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Pron
is basically the same as what's parked at Wiktionary but both are unsourced and, frankly, dubious. (a) This guy doesn't come up a lot in conversation and English (mis)pronunciation is going to be whatever feels natural to native speakers, which at least in my neck of the woods is going to involve the vowel /ɛ/ at some point. If there's no solid agreement or obvious mispronunciation, we don't need to list the IPA here at all. (b) If there's actually an accepted scholarly pronunciation, fine, provide it and source it. If there isn't, remove it from the lead and we can start laundry listing variants at Wiktionary. (c) The language mess in the lead is actually very well formatted, but it's still a mess. The article would be better served by shunting most of it down to a #Name or #Names section and only leaving the Greek and its transliteration in the lead sentence. — Llywelyn II   20:12, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Here's one historical pron source that disagrees with the sound and stress of what's provided here. Might be an issue with many more people saying the name of the dynasty, where the stress shifts back. Doesn't change that plenty of people won't use a schwa here. (Nor should they, afaict.) First Google Books result with a pron is bizarre; second is semiclassical; but neither's what's here. — Llywelyn II   20:21, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

 * I'd remove the IPA pronunciation as unsourced. The sources that you've found in your second comment suggest to me that there is no standard pronunciation. Once that's gone, I don't think the language mess is long enough to justify a separate "Name" section. Furius (talk) 03:54, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

James Walter Thompson

James Walter Thompson (October 28, 1847 – October 16, 1928) was the founder of the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency and a pioneer of many advertising techniques.

Biography
He was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on October 28, 1847.

In 1864, William James Carlton started selling advertising space in religious magazines. The agency was called Carlton and Smith, although almost nothing is known about the Smith partner. In 1868, Carlton hired Thompson as a bookkeeper. Eventually Thompson found that soliciting and sales were much more profitable, and he became a very effective salesman for the small company. In 1877, Thompson bought the agency for $500 (~$14,246 in 2023 terms ) and renamed it J. Walter Thompson Company. Thompson paid $800 for the Carlton and Smith furniture in the same transaction.

Realizing that he could sell more space if the company provided the service of developing content for advertisers, Thompson hired writers and artists to form the first known creative department in an advertising agency. He is credited as the "father of modern magazine advertising" in the United States.

Thompson, having served on the USS Saratoga in the Civil War, was a passionate sailor. He owned a variety of vessels, including a seagoing houseboat and a steamboat (Stella). He headed the New York Yacht Club, for which his title as Commodore and his portrait became famous within the company. He lived at 11 East Sixty-eighth Street in Manhattan. He developed the Roosevelt Manor section of Cranford in the 1890s and built the Cranford Opera House block in Cranford, New Jersey, for his wife, Margaret Riggs Boyle Thompson, in 1892.

The J. Walter Thompson Company was incorporated in 1896. In 1899, Thompson opened an office in London. An avid traveler, Thompson went abroad nearly every summer for twenty years, and rarely came back without important accounts. He saw New York as "the flagship" office for a company with no geographical restrictions. "It has no limitations. Any spot on earth where goods are to be sold by advertising is inside the fence of the Thompson field", said Thompson.

In 1900, JWT published a house ad explaining trademark advertising. This was the first known commercial explanation of what we now know as brand management. Thompson soon became known for his philosophy of drawing a straight line between the manufacturer and the consumer.

In 1916, Stanley B. Resor and several partners bought the company from the aging Thompson for $500,000 ($13,723,395 in 2023 terms ).

In 1930, a letter addressed to Thompson arrived from soon-to-be president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, asking for a job for his son, Elliott, guaranteeing that "he has a perfectly good mind"; JWT's mother was a distant cousin of FDR, but Thompson had died in 1928. Elliott never did work for JWT.

Legacy
Thompson is responsible for some enduring brand images in popular culture, such as the Rock of Gibraltar used for the Prudential Insurance Company.

Today, JWT is one of the largest advertising agencies in the United States and the fourth-largest in the world. It is one of the key companies of Sir Martin Sorrell's WPP Group (NASDAQ:WPPGY) and is headquartered in New York. The global agency is led by Worldwide Chairman and Global CEO Bob Jeffrey, who took over the role in 1998. JWT was named Adweek magazine's 2009 "Global Agency of the Year."

In popular culture
Thompson plays a minor role in Jack Finney's Time and Again.

Talk:1967 in film

Untitled
Can anybody put the dates for the "other films released" paagraph please? Thank you!

Re-releases
Per 's edit here. While Box Office Mojo may opt for "lifetime" grosses in its totals, in this instance the lifetime gross for The Graduate is more or less a first-run gross because it has only ever had a single release, except for a couple of limited anniversary runs. You can see the breakdown at http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=releases&id=graduate.htm which itemises each release. The Jungle Book on the other hand has had several major releases, itemised at http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=releases&id=junglebook.htm. Honestly, I think this chart has a lot of problems and isn't fit for purpose, but the problems are lower down the chart, not with the top two films. Personally I would restore the historical Variety rentals chart (which can be found in the page history) and is a better representation of contemporary success. Betty Logan (talk) 18:38, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * So neither "The Graduate" nor "The Jungle Book", as listed, are the actual annual take, contrary to what you yourself said was the standard for year pages, & to what the reader would expect for a year page. Instead, you demand looking at other links, without specifying the need to do it & without specifying which films do, & don't, need to have special attention. And on top of that, you expect the casual reader to know the difference between "gross" & "rental", or to even realize there is a difference. And you wonder why I'm changing it.  TREKphiler  any time you're ready, Uhura  19:26, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Cleveden Secondary School

Cleveden Secondary School is located in Kelvinside in the West End of Glasgow.

The school
The school can trace its origin back to 1894 and the founding of the Glasgow High School for Girls in Garnethill. In 1973, the school moved to new purpose built premises in Kelvindale. It began accepting both male and female pupils and in 1975 was officially re-named as Cleveden Secondary School. The school exists in its current form as the result of a merger between Cleveden and North Kelvinside Secondary Schools between 1998 and 2001.

The Head Teacher is Mrs Claire Wilson who was appointed on 9 October 2020.

It has recently won £1000 from two students winning the Bloodhound Racecar Challenge in 2016.

Feeder schools
Cleveden currently has nine feeder schools, which cover a large area of the north-west of the city. They are Cadder Primary School, Caldercuilt Primary School, Dunard Primary School, Kelvindale Primary School, Maryhill Primary School, Parkview Primary School, Ruchill Primary School, Westercommon Primary School

Facilities
Following an extension and refurbishment, the school building was officially re-opened by the then-Scottish Labour First Minister, Jack McConnell, on 8 February 2002. The new extensions provide twenty-six teaching spaces including general classrooms, music, drama, sports and technical facilities, as well as administration offices. A striking new social space was added offering a dining and performing space for pupils. In addition to the general refurbishment of the existing school building, the works also included provision of a rationalised suite of eight ICT classrooms and thirteen departmental bases. Every teaching space, office and administration area now has ICT provision.

The renovated building now has thirty-one classrooms, eight dedicated ICT teaching areas, ten science labs, five technical rooms, five art and design rooms, three home economics rooms, three music rooms, gymnasium, games hall, fitness suite and swimming pool. The library was also revamped and a new IT Learning Centre was created to help pupils and teachers make the most of internet technology. The works also provided a new synthetic sports pitch within the school grounds and a further two grass pitches and one blaes pitch located at the nearby Kirklee site.

Social Christian Unity Party

The Social Christian Unity Party (Partido Unidad Social Cristiana) is a centre-right political party in Costa Rica.

PUSC considers itself a Christian-democratic party and, as such, is a member of the Christian Democrat Organization of America (ODCA). It was founded in 1983 by merger of the parties that were part of the Unity Coalition: the Christian Democratic, the Republican Calderonista, People's Union and the Democratic Renovation Party. Its historical roots are in Calderonism, i.e. the movement of supporters of Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia, who was the country's president in the 1940s. From its foundation until 2006, the PUSC was one of Costa Rica's two dominant parties, alongside the National Liberation Party. It provided three presidents: Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier (1990–94), Miguel Ángel Rodríguez (1998–2002) and Abel Pacheco (2002–06).

History
Negotiations among the main right-wing opposition parties to create a political force capable of confronting the National Libertation Party (PLN) started as early as 1973. Yet, wasn’t until 1977 that four political parties; People's Union (liberal), Christian Democratic Party (Christian Democracy), Republican Calderonista (Calderonism) and Democratic Renovation (Social democracy) united forces in the Unity Coalition. After a primary election Rodrigo Carazo became the alliance's nominee gaining victory in the 1978 general election. The Coalition not only achieved the Presidency but also a non-PLN parliamentary majority for the first time since PLN's foundation. Yet, Carazo's administration was very unpopular due to the economic crisis and the tensions with neighbor Nicaragua due to Costa Rica's support of the rebel guerrilla FSLN. Thus, Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier the Coalition's candidate in the 1982 general election suffered a debacle gaining only 33% of the votes and PLN obtaining a landslide victory. Even though, Unity remained as the second political force.

On December 17, 1983, the four parties merged in the Social Christian Unity Party, not without certain controversy especially among certain factions in the Democratic Renovation. Costa Rica's law required for every party in the coalition to merge in order to be valid and also to be able of receiving the so call “political debt” (State's contribution to parties after the election proportional to their electoral support). After a series of complex sessions, Democratic Renovation's National Assembly finally agree by a slight majority to merge and PUSC was born and Costa Rica passed from a dominant-party system into a two-party system with PLN and PUSC as main political forces.

PUSC’ first primary was held on February 27, 1989. Calderón Fournier faces Miguel Ángel Rodríguez Calderón winning with 75% of the votes. Calderón, as the son of Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia, the historical leader of Calderonism and the social reforms of the 40s, was seen as the most representative leader of PUSC, while Rodríguez came from the liberal faction inside the party. This division between liberals and calderonistas was going to survive for the rest of the Party's history.

In the 1990 election following that primary Calderón won over PLN's candidate Carlos Manuel Castillo. A second primary was held on June 1993 between Rodríguez and Juan José Trejos (son of former president José Joaquín Trejos), this time Rodríguez turned victorious with 75% but lost to PLN's candidate José María Figueres in 1994. With Rodríguez as candidate the party did won both Presidency and parliamentary majority in the 1998 election, this time without the need for primaries.

Next primary was held on June 10, 2001 between then deputy and TV personality Dr. Abel Pacheco de la Espriella and former minister Rodolfo Mendez Mata. Even though Mata was endorsed by Calderón, Pacheco won the primary with 76% of the votes. Pacheco won the 2002 election over PLN's candidate Rolando Araya making it the first time a party other than PLN kept in power by two consecutive terms since 1948.

Corruption scandals
In 2004-2005 a series of corruption scandals involved three former presidents of Costa Rica; Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez Echeverría and José María Figueres Olsen. All of them suspects of bribery and enticement. They were accused of receiving money in exchange for guaranteeing very profitable contracts between private companies Alcatel and Fischel with State's corporations. The scandals even caused Calderón and Rodríguez to be arrested, prosecuted and in Calderón's case condemned, while Figueres wasn’t arrested as he was in a non-extraditable country. Rodríguez was acquitted on a technicality.

Results after the scandals
The party's candidate in 2006 right after the scandals was Pacheco's Prime Minister Ricardo Toledo. Toledo received only 3% of the votes, an unthinkable result for what was once one of Costa Rica's main parties. Anti-corruption party Citizens Action saw an increase in its support receiving almost as many votes as PLN and replacing PUSC as PLN's main rival. PUSC also passed from 17 to 5 seats after the 2006 parliamentary election and from 58 to 9 mayors in that year's municipal election.

In 2010 the party's nominee was former Vice President Luis Fishman. Fishman was the first Jewish presidential candidate in Costa Rica's history and gained 5% of the votes keeping the 5 seats. In 2013 Calderón suggested Dr. Rodolfo Hernández, then director of Costa Rica's Children's Hospital, as 2014's presidential nominee. Hernández faces former minister in Miguel Ángel Rodríguez’ cabinet Rodolfo Piza in the 2013 party primary showing, again, the traditional fight between the Calderonist and Liberal factions (the liberals having control over the National Committee). Also, as usual for a victorious candidate in PUSC's primaries, Hernández won with 75% of the votes.

Hernández received very good support and for a while was the second most popular candidate after PLN's Johnny Araya. Yet Hernández resigns as candidate on October 3, 2013 alleging constant backstabbing and treacheries from PUSC's authorities, so the party's nomination was taken by Rodolfo Piza. Piza obtained only 6% of the vote (as slight improvement) and was the fifth candidate in popular vote, but most notable was PUSC's increase in the parliamentary vote becoming the fourth most voted party surpassing Libertarian Movement (till then normally the third-largest party since 2006) and increasing its legislative caucus from six to eight seats.

In 2015 Calderón and his followers left the party and founded a new one called Social Christian Republican Party (an allusion to Calderón's father historical party). Nevertheless, PUSC saw a victory in the 2016 municipal election gaining second place in municipal votes surpassing ruling PAC and receiving much more votes than Calderón's new party. PUSC obtained 15 mayors (second in number after PLN) and saw an increase in its electoral support, unlike PLN that although the more voted party did saw a decrease in support.

In 2016, the PUSC declared themselves in favor of equal rights for same-sex couples in terms of marital property, insurance with the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) and death inheritance, while still not supporting same-sex marriage.
