Guo Si

Guo Si (died 197), also known as Guo Duo, was a Chinese military general, politician, and warlord serving under the warlord Dong Zhuo during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. He assisted Dong Zhuo in his many campaigns and served as a subordinate of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu, after Dong Zhuo relocated the imperial capital to Chang'an. He later became one of the de facto regents of Emperor Xian, wherein they occupied the capital and held the emperor and imperial officials hostage. However, his downfall came when he quarrelled with his co-regent, Li Jue. He and Li Jue were ultimately defeated by Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, who assisted the emperor to flee the capital. Guo Si was eventually betrayed and murdered by one of his subordinates.

Early to mid-career
As an early supporter of Dong Zhuo, he participated in most of Dong Zhuo's major battles, including the subjugation of the Yellow Turban rebels, the battle of Liang Province, and the war with the coalition against Dong Zhuo.

At the start of the war with the eastern warlords, Guo Si was sent to assist Niu Fu to improve the defences of Mei County. They built up fortifications and stored 30 years of food supply there before Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an from Luoyang. After Hu Zhen and Lü Bu suffered a major defeat at the hands of Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo's retreat to Chang'an, Niu Fu, Guo Si and Li Jue were ordered to station themselves in Shan (present-day Shaanxi), which was the battle front against the anti-Dong-Zhuo coalition. At the time the alliance was having internal conflicts and did not focus on fighting Guo Si and Li Jue, so the senior general Zhu Jun could only ask his old friend, Tao Qian to give him a hand in a futile effort to fight the forces of Dong Zhuo. Tao Qian, despite having a general alliance with Dong Zhuo, sent 3,000 elite Danyang troops to help Zhu Jun in his battle against Guo Si and Li Jue at Zhongmu County, where Zhu Jun was totally crushed. Guo Si, Li Jue and Zhang Ji then carried out raids in the Chenliu and Yingchuan commanderies, which Cao Cao was unable to stop and many residents there were captured and enslaved.

Battle of Chang'an
Because he was stationed outside the capital, Guo Si was able to return to Liang Province when Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Lü Bu. Along with his comrades, Fan Chou, Li Jue and Zhang Ji, Guo Si initially wanted to make Niu Fu their leader, but the latter was so scared and listened to his subordinate, Huchi'er (胡赤兒), to flee with the treasures he had saved. However, Huchi'er murdered Niu Fu after he decided to take the wealth of his master for himself. Guo Si, along the other three generals, then pleaded with the de facto leader of the Han central government, Wang Yun, for an amnesty since they were Dong Zhuo's most trusted aides. Instead, Wang Yun granted amnesty to all of Dong Zhuo's former subordinates except for these four. So they planned to relinquish their positions and go into hiding. Jia Xu suggested that they should take the opportunity to launch a strike at Chang'an since the Liang Province forces' power base was still intact after the coup. At the beginning of their campaign, few Liang Province residents joined them, only several thousands soldiers followed the four, but the number grew along the way. Wang Yun sent Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to fight the Liang Province forces en route at An'feng, but Xu Rong was killed in the first encounter and Hu Zhen persuaded his troops to join the rebels thus greatly increasing the size of the rebel force. A fierce battle was fought outside the walls of Chang'an, during which Guo Si personally duelled Lü Bu. Guo Si was defeated after being pierced by Lü Bu's spear. But he survived the wound and the Liang Province army pushed Lü Bu back into the city. The four then surrounded Chang'an with their army and suggested that they would leave if Wang Yun would go with them. Wang Yun, thinking that the four rebels only wanted his life and did not have the intention of conquering the city, committed suicide. After Wang Yun's death, the rebels managed to take control of Chang'an and secured power for themselves within the Han central government by taking Emperor Xian hostage and taking control over the selection of imperial officials for the emperor.

As a regent
The four then demanded high ranks, and Guo Si and Li Jue even thought about assassinating the emperor to take the throne, however was dissuaded from doing so by Fan Chou and Zhang Ji. With Li Jue as the leader of the rebels, the four took almost complete control of the court and demoted and promoted anyone at will.

When the western forces of Han Sui, Ma Teng and Liu Yan formed an alliance to challenge the Han central government controlled by the four, Li Jue sent his nephew Li Li (李利), Guo Si and Fan Chou to counter the allied forces. The allied forces suffered a major defeat with casualties numbering up to 10,000 at a location about 13 miles west of Chang'an. Knowing the allied forces were low on supplies, Li Li ordered Fan Chou to pursue and wipe the enemy out, but Fan Chou refused because of his friendship with Han Sui. Li Li later reported this incident to Li Jue upon returning to Chang'an. Li Jue then assembled the officers for a banquet, wherein he openly executed Fan Chou for betrayal and causing the Liang Province officers to distrust him.

At the time, Guo Si's jealous wife, Lady Qiong, became suspicious that her husband was having an affair with one of Li Jue's concubines so she decided to prevent her husband from attending Li Jue's banquets. She poisoned the gifts of food that Li Jue had given to them and convinced her husband that he should not be so trusting of Li Jue. Later, Guo Si became very drunk at another one of Li Jue's banquets and suddenly convinced himself that he was poisoned. He ingested liquid feces to force himself to vomit, which greatly offended Li Jue and drove the two leaders to battle. The situation ended up with Li Jue kidnapping Emperor Xian and Guo Si kidnapping the emperor's ministers.

Downfall and death
However, the situation was totally out of control: there were several tens of battles fought everyday in the alleys or market at its peak. The frequent battles had made Chang'an untenable for its inhabitants. Therefore, Emperor Xian asked Jia Xu to request a truce between Guo Si and Li Jue, who listened to Jia Xu and temporarily ceased fighting.

Taking advantage of the chaos and massive confusion caused by the civil war between Li Jue and Guo Si, Emperor Xian sneaked out of Chang'an and was rescued by the leader of the White Wave Bandits, Yang Feng. Yang Feng, along with Dong Cheng, Yang Ding and Xu Huang, defeated Guo Si, who had led his troops in pursuit of the emperor. Guo Si returned to Li Jue to make a last-ditch effort to recapture Emperor Xian. Li Jue and Guo Si gained initial success by defeating Yang Ding, but were driven back by Yang Feng and Dong Cheng. Since then, Guo Si returned to Mei County and never took further action to retrieve the emperor, while Li Jue occupied Chang'an.

Cao Cao became the next hegemonist to seize control of Emperor Xian as Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si had done before him. The power of Li Jue and Guo Si had greatly diminished resulting from previous infighting and the loss of Emperor Xian. Guo Si was eventually slain by his subordinate Wu Xi (伍習), who led his remnants to join Li Jue in 197.

Edits on 18 July 2005
_ _ The general inchoate state of this article can be seen by its having gotten the lk Irish [sic] only in the last 1% of its history, and in that typo being fixed by someone reading it only bcz Davitt's LoPbN entry had no useful info beyond his name, dates, & a (misplaced) lk to Land League. _ _ In particular, the relevant substance of the "Notes" section should be retained as at most a lk somewhere in this article to Land War or Land war or Irish land war, which should in turn have a lk to Boycott, which in turn needs a lk to Land War and may or not need the contents of "Notes" folded in or pilfered from. I assume material not directly relevant to him may be moved to make Land War more than a bare stub, but someone with more background (and interest) than i should do that job. (I'm afraid i would leave a mess if i did much beyond pulling the fire alarm on that, and i hope someone will obviate my returning to probably do just a dump job with its contents.) _ _ As is almost always the case (and here surely so, outside as well as within, the section that i just went over once with a stiff brush), the elimination of passive voice will be a valuable step, probably serving as occasion of some research on the Who (beyond Davitt) of this article. _ _ It hurt me to say some of the vague things i did in Michael Davitt, but i comfort myself that my edit is nevertheless an improvement on the article: it left all non-specialists as uncertain as i was, but with a better sense of the chronology, and less of their remaining ignorance concealed from them by the confusion the defective timeline imposed on the reader who fails to consciously attempt a reconstruction of that chronology.

Commenting on books?
Where does Wikipedia stand with regard to offering opinions about books referred to in the main article?

I just completed a biography of Michael Davitt, and the prison years in Dartmoor seem extremely brutal. Reminded me a good deal of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

But this seems very subjective and I don't know whether it can be added to the article itself.

Can anyone provide an opinion on this? Bernfarr (talk) 09:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Davitt's Death
Parnell's death is discussed in Portrait of the Artist by James Joyce, but the book deals with the period of time 1882-1902, and Davitt did not die till 1906, which is after Ulysses took place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.131.65 (talk) 15:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Prison reform
When I checked Davitt's Hansard record, it seemed like many of his contributions were directed towards prison reform. He had an unusually humane attitude towards the issue. I think he lays down his position best in this speech but I'm not sure how to incorporate this aspect in the article, especially given WP:PRIMARY.

Michael Davitt and Gandhi
While it is claimed on several websites that Gandhi was influenced by Davitt, that seems to be apocryphal. If it were true that Davitt had a noteworthy effect on Gandhi, you would expect to be mentioned in biographies of Gandhi and books about his nonviolent philosophy. I checked—neither Gandhi's Truth: on the Origins of Militant Nonviolence and Gandhi's Passion: The Life and Legacy of Mahatma Gandhi mention Davitt. The fact that this article was written by a guest columnist in a local newspaper which evidently didn't vet all of her claims makes it a poor source for evaluating Davitt's legacy in general. (News stories are often poor sources for history unless written by a historian with an established reputation.) That's why I removed the paragraph.

Rajshahi District

Rajshahi District (রাজশাহী জেলা) is a district in mid-western Bangladesh. It is a part of the Rajshahi Division. The metropolitan city of Rajshahi is in Rajshahi District.

Geography
Rajshahi District is bounded by Naogaon District to the north, Natore District to the east, Chapai Nababganj District to west and a small part of Kushtia District and the river Padma to the south. The district consists of alluvial plain.

Rivers
There are ten rivers in this district, totaling 146 km in length. The main river is the Padma (Ganges). Other rivers include Mahananda, Baral and Barnai.

History
The Mughal Emperor Akbar gave the Rajshahi region to the Puṭhia Raj family to govern under the governor "Pitambar".

In 1772, the Rajshahi District was established. Parts of it eventually became the districts of Bogura, Malda, Natore, Naogaon, Nawabganj, and Pabna. On 1 April 1876, Rajshahi town was made into the municipal town.

During the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, the town was the site of battles between the Mukti Bahini and the Pakistan Army. Between 26 and 30 March, Pakistan's forces killed 31 people in Godagaɽi upazila. A battle on 30 March resulted in the death of an East Pakistan Rifles member. On 13 April, the Pakistan army killed Rajshahi Cadet College Professor AB Siddiqi. On 24 May, it attacked Tahirpur Haṭ in Bagmara upazila, killing 25 people. Mukti Bahini commander Havilder Shafiq led an attack on a Pakistani boat on 8 August, killing 18 personnel. Pakistan then killed two members of Bangladesh Ansar and established a camp in the Zoha Hall of Rajshahi University, where they massacred hundreds of civilians. The Pakistan army also established camps inside Rajshahi Cadet College, Roy Saheb brickfield, Sardaha Pilot School, and Sardah Police Academy. It tortured members of Mukti Bahini and civilians in the camps, and killed hundreds of refugees on the banks of the Padma river who were fleeing to India. In a battle between Mukti Bahini and Pakistan near Kabasmul, a Pakistani army major was killed. Pakistan retaliated by killing 44 civilians in Gaganbari and Palsa. On 17 December, Pakistan surrendered to the Indian Army Captain Nanda in Naṭore, a day after its forces signed the Pakistani instrument of Surrender in Dhaka. Its camp in Rajshahi University was taken over by Mukti Bahini members On 18 December, the Pakistan army stationed in Pabna and Rajshahi districts surrendered. Surrender ceremonies took place on 20 December.

Rajshahi town was upgraded to a municipal corporation on 13 August 1987. In 1997, the government of Bangladesh made the town into a full city corporation, Rajshahi City Corporation.

Mazzio's

Mazzio's Corporation is the parent company of Mazzio's Italian Eatery and the former parent company of Zio's Italian Kitchen. In November 2007, Zio's Italian Kitchen was sold to a private company. Mazzio's specializes in pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, and occasionally other specialty items.

Mazzio's began as a pizza parlor and is located throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and Illinois. The sole Mazzio's in Louisiana, located in Shreveport, closed in the mid-1990s. It was first founded in 1961, when a young school teacher named Ken Selby opened a restaurant named The Pizza Parlor at 3024 East 11th Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is still operating as a Mazzio's location today. In 1965, Selby opened a second location at 15th and Sheridan in Tulsa (also still operating as Mazzio's) and changed the name to Ken's Pizza. By 1975, there were more than 100 franchise locations in and around Oklahoma.

As the founder of the Ken's Pizza chain found in and around the Tulsa, Oklahoma area, only franchised Ken's Pizzas remain. In August 2008, Mazzio's Corporation opened a new full service, contemporary, casual Italian concept called Oliveto Italian Bistro in Tulsa.

History
Founded in 1961 by school teacher Ken Selby, who ran his new business virtually alone and after teaching a full day as well. Four years later in 1965, Selby made pizza his full-time job. He opened a second location, which exceeded the success of his first. Plus, the name changed to Ken's Pizza that solidly branded Selby's popular special recipe sauce and thin crust. By 1975, the links of his two starting stores steadily grew to a strong chain of over 100 company and franchise locations, inside and outside of Oklahoma.

In the late 1970s, Selby conceived a new business approach. His idea called for more square footage of casual dining space, an expanded menu, thicker pizza served with much more meats and cheeses, sub sandwiches along with a salad bar.

That new concept was Mazzio's Pizza. In ten years, the Mazzio's chain grew to over 150 locations. Currently, the concept features 165 units in ten states.

Homer Laughlin

Homer Laughlin (March 23, 1843 – January 10, 1913) was an American businessman and potter who, with his brother Shakespeare, formed the Laughlin Pottery Company in 1871 in Newell, West Virginia.

Biography
Homer Laughlin was born in Little Beaver Creek, Columbiana, Ohio on March 23, 1843, the son of a miller, merchant and postmaster, Matthew Laughlin (1799–1876), of Scotch-Irish descent, and Maria (née Moore; 1814–1888), Homer Laughlin was educated at public schools and later at Neville Institute (now defunct). He did Civil War service from 1862 to 1865. A large part of his service was on detached duty as expert recorder of important military tribunals and he participated in the engagements around Murfreesboro.

After he was mustered out of the army, he worked in retail in Pittsburgh for a while, and later he worked in petroleum development in Pennsylvania for a year, boring twelve oil wells. He then became a travelling salesman of Rockingham style crockery throughout the Midwest.

Homer then moved to New York where he worked with his brother Shakespeare Moore Laughlin as an importer of English earthenware. In 1873, they built a pottery in East Liverpool, Ohio, which they ran as Laughlin Brothers until 1879, when Homer bought out Shakespeare. Their crockery became so popular that the company was accused of counterfeiting English trademarks by British manufacturers. In response to this accusation, Laughlin devised an anti-English trademark of a lion supine mounted by a rampant eagle standing on the lion's belly. The company became the largest manufacturer of crockery in the country.

Laughlin Pottery then became the Homer Laughlin China Company. In 1889, William Edwin Wells joined Homer Laughlin, and seven years later the two incorporated the company. Laughlin sold his interest to Wells shortly thereafter. The company moved operations across the Ohio River to West Virginia land purchased from the Newell family. Laughlin moved to Los Angeles in 1897, where he developed the Homer Laughlin Building on Broadway, the first fire-proof office building in Southern California. It was also the first reinforced concrete building erected in Southern California. Laughlin was an intimate friend of President William McKinley for over thirty years and presided over the reception committee when McKinley visited Los Angeles.

Laughlin was president of the U.S. Potters' Association for many years. He was a member of the Republican Club of New York, the California Club, Los Angeles, the Allegheny Commandery No. 35, Knights Templar, and an honorary life member of the Girvan Encampment of Glasgow, Knights Templar of Scotland.

The Homer Laughlin China Co. moved all operations to Newell, West Virginia, in 1907. Operations continue in that location today.

Family
On June 18, 1875, Laughlin married Cornelia Battenberg (1846-1907) at Wellsville, Ohio. They had three children, Homer, Jr., Nanette (1883-1891) and Gwendolyn (1886-May 19, 1942). Gwendolyn lived in Los Angeles from the age of 10 when her parents retired there. They bought a large mansion, now demolished, at 666 West Adams Boulevard. At one time Gwendolyn was on the board of directors of Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Homer Laughlin Jr. attended Stanford University, where he married Ada Edwards, a physical culture instructor, in the university chapel.

Homer Laughlin died of pneumonia on January 10, 1913, after an operation for appendicitis. He is interred in Inglewood Park Cemetery.

Talk:William Clarke (apothecary)

Which Step Daughter Was It?
Different Sources list different Storers as the possible lady in Newton's life. Most of my research on this family indicated that it was Katherine not Anne who was Newton's early sweetheart. ~Teri

Sources & Instances of Katherine:
 * "Newton's Darkness: Two Dramatic Views by Carl Djerassi & David Pinner"

I'll have to dig through my notes to find my other sources - I will add them here as soon as possible.

 * Sources disagree in my research, but the majority say Anne. There is also some doubt over whether or not they where formally engaged. Zerbey 19:01, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

There appear to be only 4 children of Katherine Storer's (ne Babington) 1st husband Edward Storer, Edward (b1642, Bunny, Nottinghamshire), Arthur, Katherine and Ann. All and only these are mentioned in Arthur's will of 1686. Ann and Arthur were living and both died before 1727 in Maryland and Ann died Ann Skinner, never having married a Vincent. That can only leave Katherine in Grantham. Russell Newton

William Clarke - death date? baptismal date?
Can you tell me the source of the death date? I can't find that death date anywhere. A baptismal date is mentioned? Where was he baptised? Thanks. (Teri 03:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)).
 * I'll check when I get home. Zerbey 21:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Anne Stanley, Countess of Castlehaven

Untitled
In the front page, someone (in the start) had confused two cousins. As the obvious intent was to write about THAT Anne Stanley who was potential heiress of Elizabeth I, the result is crap.

The correct heiress was:

Anne Stanley1 (F) b. May 1580, d. circa October 1647, #47549 Anne Stanley was the daughter of Ferdinando Stanley, 5th Earl of Derby and Alice Spencer.1 She was born in May 1580.1 She married, firstly, Grey Brydges, 5th Baron Chandos of Sudeley on 28 February 1607/8.1 She married, secondly, Sir Mervyn Tuchet, 2nd Earl of Castlehaven, son of George Tuchet, 1st Earl of Castlehaven and Elizabeth Noel, on 22 July 1624 at Harefield, Middlesex, England.1 She died circa October 1647 at Ruislip.1 She was buried on 11 October 1647. - Through her marriage, Anne Stanley gained the title of Countess of Castlehaven on 22 July 1624.

Child of Anne Stanley and Grey Brydges, 5th Baron Chandos of Sudeley: Elizabeth Brydges  b. b 1619, d. c Mar 1678/79

Citations [S6] G.E. Cokayne; with Vicary Gibbs, H.A. Doubleday, Geoffrey H. White, Duncan Warrand and Lord Howard de Walden, editors, The Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom, Extant, Extinct or Dormant, new ed., 13 volumes in 14 (1910-1959; reprint in 6 volumes, Gloucester, U.K.: Alan Sutton Publishing, 2000), volume III, page 86. Hereinafter cited as The Complete Peerage. 217.140.193.123 19:08, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Heading
I believe she was not universally always known as Lady, and I believe she is recognizable without it. Therefore "Lady" shuld not be included in the article title (as the requirement for such inclusion is: person if universally recognised with it and their name is unrecognisable without it). It seems to me that recently, there has been sort of campaign by some users to put titulary into headings, without any solid support from naming conventions, and this here apparently is a part of such campaign. 217.140.193.123 02:33, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

A possible pretender today
Who is Lady Anne's senior living descendant today? He/she would be a potential pretender to the throne of England. Jess Cully 12:36, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * She has no living descendants. According to Arrigo, the heir-general of the Duchess of Suffolk is Michael Abney-Hastings, 14th Earl of Loudoun, who also happens to be the heir-general of George, Duke of Clarence and hence a pretender to the English throne twice over. Odd. I redacted that from his edits to the article — he has a tendency to stick in long recitations of the heirs-general to dubious claims — but if you want the info back in here, maybe I should revert that part of my edit. IMO the info would be best confined to the Earl of Loudon's page, and maybe Elizabeth I of England. Choess 05:19, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Apparently no living legitimate descendants. We do not know of illegitimates. However they usually are not regarded as eligible to inherit. Regarding the question of heir general of Duchess of Suffolk, actually there are the two alternatives: whether Seymour (Beauchamp) was illegitimate or not, the heir general is either his heir or Stanley heir. The "heir general" of Anne Stanley is heir general of only Eleanor Brandon in sufficient certainty. re location, page of a person who actually was not very noteworthy without her more or less recognized claim, deserves to include to where that claim then evolved. Remember that that claim actually made this as an article. Arrigo 08:36, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

 * So is the Earl of Loudoun Eleanor Brandon's heir general? Jess Cully 11:13, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Neutral POV?
"lasciviousness and gross immorality" doesn't sound like a neutral POV to me.

Lady Caroline Ogilvy as legitimist heir
As touched on in the page on Michael Abney-Hastings, 14th Earl of Loudoun, when supporters of a claim to the throne other than the one that succeeded in taking possession of it seek to establish who is the current holder of the claim, strict legitimists argue that laws passed under the monarchs that they consider to be usurpers are not valid, because the parliaments that passed them were not summoned by the rightful monarch, and the laws were not given the Royal Assent by the rightful monarch. Thus legitimist supporters of Lady Anne Stanley's claim will regard all English and British laws passed since 1603 as invalid. That includes laws on divorce. As the page on divorce says :

''From the earliest years of the Christian age until the 18th century, annulment was the only means by which a marriage could be dissolved, and the circumstances under which annulment was proper was solely within the province of ecclesiastical courts. The common-law courts had no power over marriage since it was a status granted by the Church.''

Thus under the laws of 1603 only the church courts could dissolve a marriage. The 9th Earl of Jersey's divorce was not granted by the church courts, therefore under 1603 law it was invalid, and the Earl remained married to his first wife until she died. Therefore his subsequent marriages were null and void and the children of them illegitimate. Therefore, for strictly legitimist 'Stanleyites', the rightful monarch of England is not anyone descended from these 'illegal' marriages, but the Earl's only (in their eyes) legitimate-born child, Lady Caroline. Jess Cully 12:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Portrait is wrong
This profile features a portrait that is on its face, not Anne Stanley, but says right on it “Alice Spencer.” Why is this portrait here? It is in essence wronging them both, and all the readers. 2600:4040:5AEF:B400:7232:A121:EFEE:B6FF (talk) 21:42, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Well spotted. I removed it - this was an image of Anne Stanley's mother. Nl maclean (talk) 23:00, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Dutch Association for Public Administration

The Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) was established in 1973 as a platform for people interested in the field of public administration. It aims to give people the opportunity to gain knowledge about developments in the field of public administration and discuss these with each other.

At this moment the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) has about 1,000 individual and institutional members. Among them are students, scientists and practitioners in the field of public administration. Members of the last category could be management consultants, civil servants, and others that are interested in public administration.

The Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) aims to play a distinct role in the debate about the developments of public administration in the Netherlands and in more international contexts. Therefore, the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) both tries to generate knowledge about public administration and give the opportunity to engage in debates about opportune topics. In these debates scientific and practical insights are brought together because of the mixed character of the members of the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration).

Activities
Activities of the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) include:
 * Publishing the scientific magazine Bestuurskunde (Public Administration).
 * Organising large nationwide conferences twice a year.
 * Regional subcommittees organise smaller conferences regularly.
 * www.bestuurskunde.nl, which serves as a platform for interaction among members, knowledge, and communication with the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration).
 * Virtueel Bestuur (Virtual Administration). An e-magazine with information and opinions about topics in public administration.
 * Participation in institutional networks with e.g. student-associations and other professional organisations.

Through all these activities, the Vereniging voor Bestuurskunde (Dutch Association for Public Administration) hopes to build a bridge between the practice and the science of public administration.

Copying from other websites
Please try and avoid simply copy and pasting from another website as this is usually a copyright infringement and is generally frowned upon by Wikipedia policy. Adding a web link to anotehr site is fine, but copying another site's work into the body of an article is generally note the way to go. -Husnock 22:10, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I read all of what you have below. I see how it could be upsetting. Unfortunately, this all came about during an issue with a lot of people copying text from the Institute of Heraldry and replacing entire articles with said texts.  Adding copyvio notices appeared to be one way to bring it to everyones attention.  Im sure it will be resolved and the articles will all get restored.  Nobody is saying you did anything really bad or are a bad editor. -Husnock 03:51, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

- Why this is not a copyright violation; but it was sloppy editing:

Figured out pages in question are: Text is actually from packet of materials from 1st Cav when awards were sent to me in 1996. Unsurprisingly, it does match that from TIOH. TIOH is not the origination of the text (they only do the design). Actual authority would be DoD Manual 1348.33-M, Manual of Military Decorations and Awards. TIOH is a US government entity, therefore copyright is not an issue. One of the edits I had made was a link to the site where I supposedly copied the text! I did go back and revert part of these pages to the temp pages to resolve any potential issues, as I was going to be offline for the next several days.
 * Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait)
 * Kuwait Liberation Medal (Saudi Arabia)
 * Southwest Asia Service Medal

IMHO, there are no copyright violations, just sloppy editing. I had intended to do some further refining (just got overcome by events for a few days).

 * Aha- I just came across this reference: Don't include copies of primary sources.

--Gadget850 17:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

The following stuff is personal rambling, musing and venting...

I'm not sure as to why the copyright violations were applied. I thought it was due to my edits, but after reading the Wikipedia policies, I am thinking that I am wrong on that. Per Copyright problems, it should have simply been reverted unless all the revisions had issues (including Husnock's). The more I read the policy, the more I'm puzzled on how it was applied (and why on only two of the three pages I had edited). It also looks like the entire article should have been blanked and replaced by the copyvio tag. Perhaps someone could educate a newb.

My biggest disappointment here is in how this came down. A cryptic message on my talk page closely followed by some violation tags with no dialog? No discussion as to how a new user (as described in one comment; at 47 I'm almost flattered) should handle this? An opportunity to develop a relationship of neophyte to master, now lost? Integrity questioned without a discussion?

Guess I should have left the articles alone and not created the temp pages. That way either the articles would have been accepted as is, or deleted in their entirety. I'm going to back up the temp pages, because the articles as is are sloppy. That way when the copyvios are cleared I still have a backup of the good edit.

A few open issues on this:
 * Southwest Asia Service Medal: Per DoD Manual 1348.33-M, there are only three campaigns; PROVIDE COMFORT is authorized as part of the Cease-Fire Campaign. NPRC is not a cite, as they are a repository of records.
 * Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait): There are four other classes of this medal yet to be documented.  Found a source for images and am working permission for use.  This may be a while though.--Gadget850 16:16, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Vancouver Folk Music Festival

The Vancouver Folk Music Festival (VFMF), founded in 1978, is an outdoor multistage music festival, located at Jericho Beach Park on the west side of Vancouver, British Columbia. It takes place annually on the third weekend of July, drawing over 30,000 attendees each year.

The festival has attracted artists from across the world, including Adam Cohen, Ani Difranco, Utah Phillips, Ricky Pinball, Pete Seeger, Tuvan throat singers, Sarah Harmer, Veda Hille, Feist, K'naan, and Ferron, among many others.

History
The Vancouver Folk Music Festival was founded in 1978 by Mitch Podolak and Colin Gorrie, who also helped establish the Winnipeg Folk Festival; Ernie Fladell and Franz Fitzgibbon, employees at the City of Vancouver's social planning department; and Gary Cristall, who coordinated the event. The inaugural festival took place August 11-13, 1978 in Stanley Park, and an estimated 10,000 people were in attendance. Performers included Mary McCaslin and Jim Ringer, Odetta, Stan Rogers. Leon Redbone, Leon Bibb, and John Hammond.

In 1979, the event was changed to take place the third weekend of July at Jericho Beach. Late in the year, the Vancouver Folk Music Festival Society was established as a non-profit organization and given control of future versions of the festival. In early years, the organization operated a dedicated record label called Festival Records.

Fair use rationale for File:Fu3 weather.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Fu3 weather.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk  03:21, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
