Talk:Getaway (TV series)

Fair use rationale for Image:Getaway.jpg
Image:Getaway.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Move to Getaway (TV series)

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 18:02, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

– I don't think the TV program should be the primary topic for Getaway. My first impression would be that the title should redirect to crime scene getaway, although looking at the traffic stats it seems this article is actually getting more hits. (Last month was an exception because of a peak for crime scene getaway on the 30th; was it linked on the main page or something?) The stats are often heavily slanted toward the main title, though, as many readers looking for the crime scene getaway article have probably gone through Getaway first. In any case, the TV show article is not "more likely than all the other topics combined" as required by the primary topic guideline. Considering how many pages there are with this title it's probably best to simply move the disambiguation page to the plain title. Jafeluv (talk) 12:56, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Getaway → Getaway (TV series)
 * Getaway (disambiguation) → Getaway
 * As an addition, there seems to be an upcoming film that is currently getting much more hits than this article (37k vs 3k), although that situation is likely to change once the 2013 film becomes old news. Jafeluv (talk) 12:59, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Support; if there is a primary topic, it should be the plain meaning of the word. If it's not clear whether that would be crime scene getaway or vacation, then we should put the dab page at the base name.  Powers T 23:03, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Support, no primary topic. Red Slash 23:54, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Support clearly the short vacation or crime fleeing action are more likely than the TV program, which is even named for the short vacation. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 00:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Support; I doubt the TV series is the primary topic here. bobrayner (talk) 23:57, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. Getaway should redirect to holiday or vacation. The TV show ought to be dabbed in the name so the interested reader can find it more easily. --  Ohconfucius  ping / poke 02:08, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Archaeological tourism

Archaeotourism or Archaeological tourism is a form of cultural tourism, which aims to promote public interest in archaeology and the conservation of historical sites.

Activities
Archaeological tourism can include all products associated with public archaeological promotion, including visits to archaeological sites, museums, interpretation centers, reenactments of historical occurrences, and the rediscovery of indigenous products, festivals, or theaters.

Impact
Archaeological tourism promotes archaeological sites and an area's cultural heritage. Its intent is to not cause more damage to the sites, thus avoiding becoming invasive tourism. Archaeologists have expressed concerns that tourism encourages particular ways of seeing and knowing the past. When archaeological sites are run by tourist boards, ticket fees and souvenir revenues can become a priority. The tradeoff between opening a site to the public or remaining closed and keeping the site out of harm's way should be assessed. Damage to irreplaceable archaeological materials is not only direct, as when remains are disordered, altered, destroyed, or looted, but often an indirect result of poorly planned development of tourism amenities, such as hotels, restaurants, roads, and shops. These can alter the environment producing flooding, landslides, or undermining ancient structures.

Notable sites

 * In Oman, the Ministry of Heritage and Culture sponsored a project at the village of Imti with artist Maryam Al Zadjali, entitled “To Immortalise the Archaeological Moment in Art.” The project encouraged tourism to the village, through the installation of artistic interventions such as wall-paintings.

Revco
Thanks for adding Mary Lou's "And, another thing..." to the Revco page. I cannot believe that you remember she said that. Wikipedianinthehouse 22:53, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ha! A lot of things from my childhood still occupy space in my memory that really aren't necessary. I just happened to be reading a Wiki page about the Olympics, and when I saw Retton's name I immediately thought of Revco, which of course meant I had to immediately see if there was a Wiki article on it. Turns out the history of Revco is somewhat interesting; I wasn't aware of the bankruptcies, just that they became CVS at some point. --Spot Color Process 02:21, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

The Peanuts List of Birthdates and Information
Hi, Birdhombre -- I'm just saying that I'm sorry I didn't say where I got this "List" info. I was visiting a friend, and he has all the info on Peanuts. I don't know where he got it (the talent), but he says it's all true information. It will be published on the Net in January 2006. --Janet6, a Wikipedia user
 * Since my comments on your user talk page got deleted, I'll put them here:
 * Janet6, if you did indeed register this username, please log in. Currently, all of your edits (including the creation of this user/talk page) are showing up as the anonymous IP address 24.255.115.243. Also, the reason Wahkeenah and I keep reverting your "Peanuts facts" is because Wikipedia has a policy of no original research, which states:

 * Wikipedia is not the place for original research. Citing sources and avoiding original research are inextricably linked: the only way to show that you are not doing original research is to cite sources who discuss material that is directly related to the article, and to stick closely to what those sources say.

 * You have listed your source as a "new paper" that cannot be found on the internet, and/or a website currently under construction. Until that paper or website is published, we cannot use it as a source for an encyclopedia article. Further, Wikipedia has a policy on verifiability, which requires "reputable sources" to verify facts. Since, as I've said before, I am a long time Peanuts fan and have never heard or read any of these birthdates/names you keep adding, I would be suspect of this new paper/website even once it is published. UnitedMedia's Peanuts biographies at Snoopy.com make no mention of your information either.

 * Please understand where I am coming from here; I am not out to target you, but I also do not want to see false or unverified information added to Wikipedia. There is enough of that already; we don't need more. Thanks. --Spot Color Process 03:25, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Beagle
Don't you understand the beagle is Smiling in the photo and not Smelling? Quit the revert war! 83.31.244.130 22:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Umm, no, I don't understand. I've never heard of a "sense of smile" other than in the names of photography studios and dentist offices. Also, you added Please revert to previous verion is caption reads: The Beagle has a very well-developed sense of smell. to the comment tag in your edit. So you basically violated your own suggestion by changing "smell" to "smile." Further, I asked twice before in my edit summaries why you changed "smell" to "smile," and you continued to change it without explaining why. Now you're accusing me instead. Beautiful.
 * And for the record, the five senses are sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. But you probably knew that. --Spot Color Process 03:18, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Ameriflora
I'm glad you started a page on Ameriflora. I think resizing the pictures I added was the right move - it looks better.

I was always sad that it wasn't more of a success. You always get the feeling that Columbus is embarrassed a little by being named after Christopher Columbus. Old Chris has not been treated kindly by history, and is now considered a VD-bearing greedy jerk who is hardly mentioned in school books. He used to rank up there with George Washington when I was a kid. But I digress - nice job on the page. george 06:43, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I have all the references listed on that page, but haven't taken the time to add citations to the text of the article. I keep meaning to do that. Thanks for adding the pictures; I scanned the logo, but didn't feel like digging out pictures from 14 years ago too, if I even knew where they were.

 * Yeah, the Wolfs touted AmeriFlora as Columbus' time to shine, hoping it would place the city on the world stage, but there were angry residents right from the time the committee was even founded in the '80s, which meant there was limited local support. I went there twice (I was 12 at the time), and it actually was a really nice exhibition, but it's too bad it wasn't better planned. --Spot Color Process 12:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

DoubleClick
Birdhombre

i just want to let you know that doubleclick absolutely has a software. it is an adserving solution which is built around both advertisers and publishers workflow. typically it is sold as an asp solution, often customized for specific client needs. on the publisher side they do have an enterprise solution which allows publishers to control their own ad serving. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huntermj (talk • contribs)
 * Cool. That might be something good to add to the article if you have some sources. --Spot Color Process 13:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Apropos [this deletion], [this source] confirms it. However, I am not comfortable adding it; that would violate WP:NOR; what to do? Do you want to add it? Please reply here. --Elvey 08:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you could add this by simply stating who is making the claim, rather than just posting it as an outright fact. For example, you could say, According to San Francisco IT consulting group The Elvey Partnership, although DoubleClick does offer an opt-out page, this only affects cookies; DoubleClick continues to track users via IP addresses. Then include the link you posted.

 * I would think that would be good enough, and instead of trying to find multiple sources to back up the claim, the burden of proof is on The Elvey Partnership rather than Wikipedia. That's my view, anyway. --Spot Color Process 15:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for backing me up on the Oglebay talk page! As far as I know, what you said is true. In my policy manual it states that I must keep a positive image of the zoo when talking to the public, but they must categorize Wikipedia under something that has to go through the PR department. I'm pretty sure I know who added that note, but they tried pretty hard to cover it up (they didn't use their IP) All the info. I added was completely factual, but I did not add info. about who worked there (why should I?). The person who added the note was upset because I had not yet added them. They're probably tracking my account now, but I don't know. I was thinking about creating a new Wikipedia account, but it might be better if I just apologize in person and work it out. As a veteran Wikipedian, what do you think I should do? Create a new account, apologize in person, or edit my page so that I have no affiliation with the Park and its entities. When editing that article, I had no intention of threatening my volunteer job at the zoo or upsetting anyone. Morganismysheltie 18:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I could see how they would consider Wikipedia to be "talking to the public," just as any blog or website probably would. The difference here is that one would have to read the article's talk page or history to see that you're a volunteer. I noticed you removed that note from your user page, which is probably good. Maybe setting up a new account and starting fresh is a good idea too, in case that person is watching your contribs. My point to User:Ohiovalley was simply that Oglebay's PR department doesn't really have any control over Wikipedia, so it's kind of silly to claim the article needed "approval," but it sounded to me like they were just warning you to be careful what you say, not making any kind of threat. I probably wouldn't bring it up to anyone in person since it doesn't sound like you're in any trouble, but that's just my view. :) --Spot Color Process 19:02, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Grindlewald

It would be helpful if the surname of that Owen boy was put up and if a transcript of that interview could be located and insert the quote where she verifies the connection between Grindlewald and World War II. Also, I believe it is spelt Grindelwald, not Grindlewald, but I'm not sure how to change that as there is a seperate article under the same spelling. - Jamandell (d69)

Change to Grindelwald
This article needs to be moved from Grindlewald to the name "Grindelwald" as that is the correct spelling.

Clipper Magazine Stadium

Clipper Magazine Stadium is a baseball park located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the Northwest Corridor neighborhood. It is the home of the Lancaster Stormers, the city's Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (ALPB) franchise. It hosted its first regular-season baseball game on May 11, 2005, with the Stormers losing to the Atlantic City Surf, 4–3. The ballpark also serves as the corporate headquarters for the Atlantic League and seats 6,000 people.

The ballpark features an artificial turf playing field. Its many food stands serve Pennsylvania Dutch and Philadelphia cuisine such as whoopie pies, cheesesteaks, hoagies, Tastykakes, soft pretzels from local bakeries and the Philly Pretzel Factory, barbecue from the four-time state champion Hess's BBQ, hot dogs from Kunzler & Company, beer from the Lancaster Brewing Company and Yuengling, ice cream and tea from Turkey Hill, salty treats from Utz and Snyder's of Hanover, and confections from nearby Hershey's. Clipper Magazine Stadium lies in the Northwest Corridor of Lancaster city, which includes Franklin & Marshall College and Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health. In October 2008, the venue hosted vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin during the 2008 U.S. presidential election.

About 104,000 fans on BallparkDigest.com, a website by August Publications, ranked Clipper Magazine Stadium the "2020 Best of the Ballparks" out of all independent U.S. and Canadian baseball parks by a margin of 86 to 14 percent over the next runner-up, U.S. Steel Yard in Gary, Indiana. Clipper Magazine Stadium also won the 2021 "Best of the Ballparks MLB Partner Leagues" over runner-up, Franklin Field in suburban Milwaukee. The Atlantic League awarded Clipper Magazine Stadium the "Ballpark of the Year" following the end of its 2013 regular season, commemorating the Barnstormers staff for their excellence in groundskeeping and operations.

Clipper Magazine, a local periodical company, purchased the naming rights for $2.5 million over ten years beginning in 2006. They extended this agreement in 2013 through the 2019 season.

History
Forty-four years before the opening of Clipper Magazine Stadium and the Lancaster Stormers' inaugural season, the Lancaster Red Roses entertained baseball enthusiasts for 20 years at Stumpf Field. Efforts for a new stadium and a new team began in 1987, and what was a long sixteen-year battle finally paid off with an announcement in 2003. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania agreed to fund roughly half of the cost with Opening Day Partners and the city of Lancaster covered the remainder. The original plan in 2001 called for a proposed, $20-million ballpark to be constructed on the Diseley Farm site, across from Long's Park in Manheim Township. However, those plans were canceled because of residential concerns about traffic and political concerns about the use of eminent domain and rezoning. After this plan was terminated, most Lancaster County politicians preferred a downtown ballpark for urban renewal. The Lancaster County Redevelopment Authority settled on an industrial site on the corner of North Prince and Frederick streets, where a company called Ace Rents existed. Initially, Ace Rents stalled the process but quickly agreed as they did not want to cause a delay. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 28, 2004, and Clipper Magazine Stadium was finished just before it opened on May 11, 2005.

With its brick façade and steel beams, the architecture of Clipper Magazine Stadium alludes to its industrial surroundings. Located in the Northwest Corridor, the ballpark faces many downtown factories and spans a former rail yard. Coincidentally, this section of Lancaster city (between North Mary and North Charlotte Streets, south of the Harrisburg Pike) was historically known as the "base ball ground" circa 1886.

Atlantic League All-Star Games

On July 12, 2007, the Lancaster Stormers hosted the Atlantic League's tenth-anniversary All-Star Game at Clipper Magazine Stadium. A crowd of 7,361 watched the opposing North Division win, 8-6. Lancaster players Jeremy Todd and Dominick Ambrosini both hit home runs, but it was not enough to put their South Division team ahead.

On July 13, 2016, the Stormers hosted their second Atlantic League All-Star Game, joining their Freedom Division teammates to win by a score of 3-1.

Ballpark attractions
Clipper Magazine Stadium includes 6,000 green, chair-back seats in two levels divided by an open, 360-degree concourse. It also features other seating options such as luxury suites with professional catering, lawn seating that expands the ballpark's seating capacity to 7,500, and bleachers along the left-field wall. Additionally, the venue includes a Kid's Park with a birthday zone, a carousel, jungle gyms, a rock climbing wall, and various inflatables. Cylo's Clubhouse allows for youth to interact with the Stormers' bovine mascot, Cylo. Behind Section 13, the stadium features the Little Sluggers Dugout, an enclosed area for nursing mothers with a toddler play area and a television. The local Subaru dealer sponsors an outdoor area complete with bocce ball, corn-hole, a life-size Jenga, shuffleboard, ping pong, giant checkers, a kissing booth, and a barbershop corner. The area also features the Broken Bat Craft Beer Deck, which features a wide variety of Central Pennsylvania craft beer choices. The Inside Corner Team Store located at the home-plate entrance features team apparel and souvenirs; it remains open throughout the year.

A mural honors Lancaster's professional baseball history, especially Richard M. Scott, the former mayor (1974–1979) who initiated the civic effort toward building Clipper Magazine Stadium.

Before the 2013 Atlantic League season, the Stormers made a series of improvements to Clipper Magazine Stadium. The first of these was a new playground for children along the third-base line featuring a foam-based protective floor. Other improvements included a renovated picnic area with new tents and a deck comprising synthetic materials instead of wood, a new right-field wall, landscaping beyond the outfield, and computerized irrigation controls.

Silverball Museum Arcade
The Lancaster Stormers added the Silverball Museum Arcade in time for the 2011 Atlantic League season. It is a coin-free attraction that includes nostalgic arcade games from the 1930s to some of the video games played in the present. Each machine possesses a description of its history and inspiration. The Silverball Museum Arcade also has televisions and multimedia detailing everything pinball.

Stitches Sculpture
In late 2012, an artist named Derek Parker installed his baseball stitches sculpture along Clipper Magazine Stadium's main walkway on North Prince Street. It symbolically links the ballpark to Lancaster city. As the sixth Poetry Paths project completed by Franklin & Marshall College's Writer's House, the stitches also tie professional baseball and the arts. It includes the Le Hinton poem called "Our Ballpark" and is part of a $250,000 initiative by the Lancaster County Community Foundation to add art and poetry into Lancaster city's urban environment.

Countdown Lancaster
On New Year's Eve 2010, Clipper Magazine Stadium hosted its first celebration, "Countdown Lancaster". The event was coordinated with a concert, fireworks, and the Red Rose drop at nearby Binns Park.

Ice Park at Clipper Magazine Stadium
Clipper Magazine Stadium is converted to an outdoor public ice-skating rink during the winter months so the Lancaster community may enjoy the ballpark in the off-season. Using state-of-the-art equipment, the right field segment of the ballpark is converted to an ice skating rink measuring 135 feet by 85 feet with skate rental available; the concessions serve ballpark fare as well as soup, coffee, and hot chocolate. In 2010, a 26-foot Ice Slide attraction by Avalanche Express was added to the Ice Park.

LeSean McCoy Celebrity Softball Game
In 2012, the Stormers held its first annual celebrity softball game, which was hosted by LeSean McCoy, an All-Pro running back on the Philadelphia Eagles and Harrisburg native. The contest pits the Eagles against professional football players from other teams in the National Football League. The 2012 Eagles roster featured Brent Celek, Hugh Douglas, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Torrey Smith, Michael Vick, and Brian Westbrook. Their opponents included Victor Cruz of the New York Giants, Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers, Hakeem Nicks of the New York Giants, Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens, and Mike Wallace of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Any proceeds collected for the LeSean McCoy Celebrity Softball Game are directed to the LeSean McCoy Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that serves to raise funds and awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. LeSean McCoy is motivated by his grandmother's death due to ALS. Additionally, the Foundation also provides for the underprivileged in Central Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. Some of the money collected from the 2012 game provided Christmas toys to the Boys and Girls Club and the Salvation Army, sports gear to the Police Athletic League, a professional football game and a winter vacation for families affected by ALS, winter coats and backpacks containing necessary school supplies for impoverished children, and winter coats for a women's and children's shelter in Philadelphia.

Concerts
Clipper Magazine Stadium has hosted various concerts, including rock musicians Bob Dylan, Bryan Adams, Def Leppard, Jefferson Starship, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Peter Frampton; country music artists Clint Black, Dwight Yoakam, and Willie Nelson; and smooth jazz instrumentalist Kenny G.

Soccer
On July 16, 2009, Clipper Magazine Stadium hosted an exhibition match between the Harrisburg City Islanders and Crystal Palace F.C., a Premier League team based in London, England. The ballpark's infield was covered with grass sod per FIFA regulations. Additionally, local soccer clubs scheduled training sessions to maximize the use of the temporary soccer pitch.

In August 2015, the venue hosted two more professional soccer matches. The first one featured the Harrisburg City Islanders versus FC Montreal, both members of the United Soccer League. The second game included the Philadelphia Union, a Major League Soccer club, versus Harrisburg. For the 2016 USL season, the City Islanders played five of their home games at Clipper Magazine Stadium. The other ten were played at their regular home, FNB Field on Harrisburg's City Island.

P.S. I like messages :-P

Good edits here and elsewhere. We can use some Australian editors who are not slaves to the Wikipedia slightly-left-of-centre orthodoxy. Adam 13:51, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

On the other hand, I will also oppose the insertion of right-wing POV in articles. Adam 09:49, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

I thought a couple of your changes to John Kerr came close. Adam 13:39, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

The Age
Your edits to the Age article were reverted because they were POV and incorrect. The Age editorialises pro-free trade and their editors treatment of a particular individual case is irrelevant to the paper as a whole unless you can prove otherwise. Leunig isn't that left-wing and information about the business' profitability is unverifiable. - Aaron Hill 13:00, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Refer to the following editorials: "Why free trade with the tigers is crucial", 30 November 2004, "From rhetoric to reality in free trade", 3 August 2004.

Quote from the latter:

 * If lofty rhetoric and lots of promises sufficed to bring change, global trade barriers would have crumbled long ago. The nations of the world have been vowing to scrap the subsidies, tariffs and quotas that restrict the trade in agricultural products, in particular, for more than a decade. In Geneva at the weekend, the 147 member states of the World Trade Organisation did so again. Do they really mean it this time? In the United States, Japan and the European Union, farm lobbies wield considerable political clout. Each time the governments of these wealthy nations have raised the prospect of opening their markets to the farm products of other countries, including Australia, they have given themselves an escape clause. The Geneva meeting was no exception: as well as pledging to end agricultural protection, it allowed governments to protect "sensitive products". Whether this latest round of promises turns out to be yet another round of empty words will depend on what is allowed to count as "sensitive". If US beef, the EU's milk lakes and cheese mountains, and Japanese rice are considered too sensitive to touch, the producers of these products in other countries can expect to be shut out yet again. The test will be in the detailed talks on implementation that have yet to begin, but there is cause for hope in a greater desire for real change on the part of the EU. This is perhaps a consequence of having been mugged by reality - the hefty subsidies paid to farmers are becoming too expensive for the expanded, 25-member union.

Sounds pro-free trade to me. - Aaron Hill 13:34, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

"Leunig isn't that leftwing"?? Adam 13:39, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Not as described, no. - Aaron Hill 13:41, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * You have to be joking. Adam 13:44, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

I have never reverted the Age article before. - Aaron Hill 13:41, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

If Leunig isn't left-wing then John Howard doesn't like cricket. Newshounder 13:49, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * He isn't "ultra" left-wing. That's the issue. Saying Leunig isn't left wing is like calling Turnball a monarchist: certainly untrue, but he's not an "ultra" republican. - Aaron Hill 14:38, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Branch stacking
I just looked at your edits. You need to remember that Wikipedia is subject to the laws of defamation. I don't think you can name MPs as stackers unless they have been found guilty of it. Also your little joke is not very encyclopaedic. Adam 13:44, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

The Age
It looks like we got into an edit conflict on The Age; my apologies. I'm editing more for style than POV; things like how, yes, Leunig is left-wing, and not all that funny IMAO, but there's no need to say so more than once in a stub article. Also, I have doubts as to whether the allegations about the paper's revenue sources should be in the article at all if they remain unproven, though I remain open to persuasion. Cheers, J.K. 14:31, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Also, I do agree that Leunig is left-wing just not "ultra left-wing" as stated. And why did you remove the fact that the newspaper endorsed both Howard and Beazley and why did you insert POV about the Herald Sun? - Aaron Hill 14:36, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

How 'bout we just take this to the article's Talk page? J.K. 14:48, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

I will rapidly revise my opinion of you if you make edits like the last one you made to the Age article. Such childishness just wastes the time of other editors. Adam 01:08, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

For your info, David Syme did not found the Age. He and his brother Ebenezer bought it from the founders. Secondly, yes Syme supported a white Australia, but so did virtually everyone else in Australian politics and journalism at that time. It is facile and ahistorical to use a late 20th century label like "racist" to describe attitudes of earlier periods, rather like criticising George Washington for not supporting affirmative action or same-sex marriage. Thirdly the term "left-wing" is so hackneyed, and so contested, that it is no longer a serious descriptive term and is nothing but a piece of cheap political abuse. If you intend using Wikipedia to pursue shallow political agendas rather than write serious articles, you will find yourself getting reverted rather a lot. Adam 05:35, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Jaspan was editor of a Scottish newspaper before coming to Melbourne, so I assumed he was a Scot. That however is a minor matter compared to your other edits, some of which are useful but others are just political pointscoring and will be changed. You seriously think anyone other than a conservative used language like "pinko rag", for example? My memory is that the Kerry Packer "Goanna" story was in the National Times, not the Age, but it was a long time ago so I may be wrong. (Anyway I still think it is true). Adam 12:40, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

I see Ambi has reverted your edits, saving me the trouble. Actually I would have kept some of them, and I will reinstate some of them when you and Ambi stop reverting each other. I am puzzled that you spoil your reputation here with such silly shallow childish editing as putting the Henderson quote in the opening paragraph. These are just partisan cheap shots which you know will be reverted, wasting your time and ours. Adam 12:55, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

You really are very stupid, aren't you? You think the way to overcome left-wing bias at Wikipedia is through cheap personal abuse? Now Ambi will have a good case for having you blocked. Adam 13:10, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

And now you have been banned, and serves you right. You can't say you weren't warned. Adam 14:58, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Anurag Dikshit.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Anurag Dikshit.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fairfield Properties Ballpark

Fairfield Properties Ballpark is a 6,002-seat baseball park in Central Islip, New York that serves as the home of the Long Island Ducks, an independent professional baseball team that is a member of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. Its first regular season game took place on May 14, 2000, when the Ducks played host to the Aberdeen Arsenal. The game was the first in the history of both franchises, as they both entered the Atlantic League at the same time. Fairfield Properties Ballpark hosted the 2002, 2010, and 2018 Atlantic League All-Star Games.

Naming rights
The stadium was initially named EAB Park, after European American Bank. On July 17, 2001, Citigroup acquired EAB, resulting in a name change from EAB Park to Citibank Park. Citigroup ended its corporate sponsorship in the spring of 2010 and the ballpark was given the temporary name Suffolk County Sports Park for the 2010 season.

On December 15, 2010, Suffolk County officials agreed to a $2.1 million deal with Bethpage Federal Credit Union to name the stadium Bethpage Ballpark until the 2020 season.

On September 1, 2020, Suffolk County officials signed an agreement with the Long Island-based Fairfield Properties for $7 million over 15 years. When the Bethpage naming rights ended in December 2020, the official name changed to Fairfield Properties Ballpark.

Facilities
Fairfield Properties Ballpark has a capacity of 6,002 seats, including 20 luxury suites and a 126-seat bar/restaurant. Family attractions, such as an inflatable jump house and an inflatable fast pitch tent, are located on the concourse. Concession stands offer mainly traditional ballpark foods.

Missouri Route 90

Route 90 is a highway in southwest Missouri. Its eastern terminus is at Route 37 in Washburn; its western terminus is at Route 43 northeast of Southwest City.

Route description
Route 90 is a two-lane highway for its entire length and is in rugged areas, very hilly and very curvy.

The highway begins at Missouri Route 43. When it reaches Missouri Route 59, it has a brief concurrency and the road passes under the bluffs. At Noel, the highway leaves the duplex and continues east. Halfway between the City of Noel and US 71 is a diamond interchange with I-49. Further east, the highway intersects the current US 71. At Jane, Route 90 crosses an older alignment of U.S. Route 71. About 15 miles (24 km) west of its terminus is an intersection with Route E, in which the primary highway (Route 90) stops for a secondary road (Route E), a very rare and possibly unique occurrence in the state. The route ends at Missouri State Route 37 in Washburn.

History
Route 90 was one of the original 1922 state highways. Its eastern terminus was at Route 1 in Noel and its western terminus was at the corner of Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas near Southwest City. It was eventually extended down Routes P and K to Washburn.

Fair use rationale for Image:RodStewartGasolineAlley.jpg
Image:RodStewartGasolineAlley.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Berario

Berario is a suburb of Johannesburg, in the South African province of Gauteng. It is located in Region 4. It is located just below Northcliff Hill and close to Cresta Shopping Centre, one of the biggest malls in South Africa.

History
The original farm on which the area of Berario stands today, was bought by Ario Canova in 1942. Berario was named after Ario and his partner, Ber Sarnie. In the early forties Ario Canova bought a farm north of Aasvoel Kop, (Northcliff Hill), which is now Berario, for the sum of 51 000 pounds. The original Farmhouse still stands in the now Brooklands Estate, and was sold in 2010 for R7,5 million.

The farm was divided into about 535 stands of various sizes and the district of Berario proclaimed in 1946. The stands began to sell in 1947 for an average price of 900 pounds, and by 1953 they were all sold. The suburb was built up by 1965. Peri-Urban Areas Health Board would manage the area until the City of Johannesburg in 1969.

Some books are author driven, some are subject driven. People who buy novels certainly pay attention to the author. People who buy textbooks and techincal manuals generally do not. His books seem to be the latter sort. While people often have the mindset "I'm going to buy a book by Heinlein or Ambose" (or whoever), I think people who buy this guy's book are thinking "I'm going to buy a book on programming in C".

Eurostar International Limited

Eurostar International Limited (EIL) is the railway company operating the international Eurostar train services between Paris, London, Amsterdam and Brussels via the Channel Tunnel. Eurostar was previously operated by three separate companies in Belgium, France and the United Kingdom, but this structure was replaced by EIL as a new single management company on 1 September 2010. EIL is owned by Eurostar Group.

Eurostar International is the largest customer of Getlink, the owner of the Channel Tunnel.

History
Eurostar International was formed in 1990 as European Passenger Services (EPS), as the division of British Rail responsible for the UK section of the Eurostar operation. Following the opening of the Channel Tunnel, Eurostar trains began operating on 14 November 1994, with EPS, NMBS/SNCB and SNCF responsible for the running of Eurostar services in their own territory.

On 1 April 1994, EPS signed a fixed-rate track access contract with Railtrack lasting until 29 July 2052 as part of the plans for Regional Eurostar services.

The privatisation of British Rail saw ownership of EPS transferred in 1996 to London and Continental Railways (LCR), a property development company owned by the Government of the United Kingdom. This was part of the contract agreed with the British Government for LCR to build and operate High Speed 1 (HS1) between London and the Channel Tunnel. The company was renamed Eurostar (UK) Limited (EUKL) and was to use the income from EUKL to help finance the HS1 project.

Following financial assistance from the UK government in 1998, LCR was forced to appoint a management contract for EUKL. Bids for the contract were submitted by Virgin Rail Group and Inter-Capital and Regional Rail, a consortium of National Express (40%), SNCF (35%), NMBS/SNCB (15%) and British Airways (10%). The latter was awarded the contract which was to run from 1998 until 2010.

In January 2009, after the completion of HS1, the UK's Department for Transport took control of LCR and announced its intention to put both HS1 and EUKL up for sale. Deutsche Bahn expressed an interest in EUKL but no sale materialised.

On 31 December 2009, EUKL was renamed Eurostar International Limited (EIL). On 1 September 2010, the three national Eurostar operators merged into EIL as a single company with a single management structure. Following this change, the ICRR management contract for the UK business was terminated. Once all Eurostar assets were transferred to EIL, the holdings in the company were amended to LCR (40%), NMBS/SNCB (5%) and SNCF (55%).

In November 2010, LCR sold a 30-year concession to operate HS1 to a Canadian consortium of Borealis Infrastructure and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan for £2.1bn. EIL then paid access charges to the consortium to operate Eurostar trains on HS1.

On 4 December 2013, the UK Government announced it was looking to sell LCR's 40% stake in EIL.

In January 2014, in a joint venture with Keolis, Eurostar was shortlisted to bid for the InterCity East Coast franchise, but the franchise was awarded to Virgin Trains East Coast.

In June 2014, the UK's 40% shareholding in EIL was transferred from LCR to HM Treasury, and a sale process was launched on 13 October 2014 when it was announced that the UK government planned to raise £300million by selling its stake. In March 2015, the Treasury announced it had sold the stake to Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) (30%) and Hermes Infrastructure (10%) for £585m. It also confirmed agreement to redeem its preference share in EIL for £172m, raising £757m in total. The sale was completed in May 2015.

In 2020, Eurostar shareholders unanimously appointed Jacques Damas as chief executive officer, following news that previous CEO Mike Cooper would join Arriva as Group CEO, and facing the challenges of exiting the COVID-19 crisis and leading it towards future developments.

In April 2022, Eurostar International's ownership was transferred into a new holding company named Eurostar Group, along with THI Factory. The previous shareholders now own a part of the new holding company.
