ImpalerBugz Here
Hi Andrewa. Thanks for your messages. I stopped at "J" because I had to stop Wikipedianing. Please move it out of the deletion page as I will complete it. Thanks! --ImpalerBugz 09:49, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As of
In User talk:Branddobbe I wrote:

''I have reinstated this redirect on American English. Please see Talk:As of 2004 and Wikipedia talk:As of for reasons. Andrewa 12:23, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)''

I understand the purpose of having the phrase "as of 2004" in the article, but removing a link to 2004 and replacing it with a link that redirects to 2004 seems backwards. I don't see a clear reason to link specifically to "As of 2004". I thought the general policy was to avoid redirects wherever possible. -Branddobbe 20:48, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)

 * Did you read the links I provided? I think they explain the reasons. The first one is very short and I thought it was clear. Andrewa 14:29, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Regarding my vote in Category Eating Behaviors
Whats wrong with my vote? Why ignore it? Do you think that I have to sign my votes with my key in order to be legal ones? Faethon12 17:54, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Ignoring it was just a suggestion. I think it's a very good one, and I think you agree. As to what is a legal vote, it really depends on the rules. You write your own, and imply in them that you won't be bound by any others. There are some logical consequences to this. Andrewa 18:16, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Humphrey: I've just got to get the Prime Minister to see that abolishing the Education Department is a bad idea.

Arnold: ''It's actually a very good idea. It just mustn't happen.''

- Yes, Prime Minister, The National Education Service, January 21, 1988 (text from memory so probably not word perfect).

 * I am about to define a rule about the validity of my votes. Are only the votes of FaethonX valid ones, where X is the maximum X? Are only the signed by my public key votes valid? Or all votes of all FaethonX accounts are valid with the condition to have their passwords unlocked and set to the default FaethonX password? I would appreciate your opinion about that Andrewa Faethon22 20:49, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * In my opinion, none of these are valid. Like most computer systems, Wikipedia has accountability based on a password system. Since you have deliberately invalidated this accountability in the case of own userids, votes cast (and all other actions taken) under these userids have minimal standing. Andrewa 00:09, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

New Mathematics Wikiportal
I noticed you've done some work on Mathematics articles. I wanted to point out to you the new Mathematics Wikiportal- more specifically, to the Mathematics Collaboration of the Week page. I'm looking for any math-related stubs or non-existant articles that you would like to see on Wikipedia. Additionally, I wondered if you'd be willing to help out on some of the Collaboration of the Week pages.

I encourage you to vote on the current Collaboration of the Week, because I'm very interested in which articles you think need to be written or added to, and because I understand that I cannot do the enormous amount of work required on some of the Math stubs alone. I'm asking for your help, and also your critiques on the way the portal is set up.

Please direct all comments to my user-talk page, the Math Wikiportal talk page, or the Math Collaboration of the Week talk page. Thanks a lot for your support! ral315 02:54, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)

Bootstrapping Wikivarsity
Hi I have some comments about Bootstrapping Wikivarsity.

I would like to know what you feel about it :) SudarshanP 12:46, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Please check my reply...(Bootstrapping Wikivarsity)
Some_ideas_about_Wikiversity I've replied to your comments. SudarshanP 05:19, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC) SudarshanP 16:44, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I noticed ur response and responded further... Did u have a look at that? Or maybe I am missin something...

 * I've been trying to look at it for a while but there seem to be performance problems with Wikibooks. They may be related to my browser, I have tried to interest the developers in making Wikipedia a little more robust in this regard but there seems not to be a great deal of interest. Andrewa 19:50, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * {Sigh) Yes, basically someone has changed the default skin so that Win98 systems can't use it for the moment. I've now put in my standard workaround and it's working again for me, but pity about anyone who doesn't have access to a non-Win98 system to set up a CSS override, or doesn't know how to. Andrewa 23:51, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Greetings and some replies
I just saw your replies on User talk:Ral315. From your later comments, I realized you are a more reasonable person than what I thought at the beginning. I made some blunders too. But to put it short, let me suggest some small things which you should not say. Look at the following.

 * We do have problems from time to time with people thinking they own pieces of Wikipedia, and being upset at others wanting to do things differently. Perhaps this is the real agenda here.

and

 * And over the years, whenever I've taken the trouble to identify the people I thought would be interested in something and give them each a personal heads-up on it, I've only ever had thanks. But within Wikipedia there are many sub-communities, and this one seems not to like it. I've noted that now, and I'm sure you have too. I'm not convinced it's representative of the whole of Wikipedia, or even the Maths community, but certainly take it as applying to the more active members of this Wikiproject.

(and some others)

Things like that are probably well meant, but they imply that people who do not agree with you are not reasonable, they have an agenda, and is pointless to talk to them. And in the second paragraph, you generalized from me being bad to offending the whole math community here.

I don't think you meant to say that, but again, be more careful with what you say. I wish you good luck. Oleg Alexandrov 05:45, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure how or even whether to reply to this. You are correct that I didn't mean to say that, but what is more important, I didn't say it.

 * Be more careful what you say? I wish I could believe that you will heed your own advice, but while you confess to blunders above you continue to make baseless and inaccurate criticisms of others, partly at least to justify your earlier criticisms.

 * Where to from here? Andrewa 03:21, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

PS And it would be good if you archive your page. Is big, and hard to scroll through. Oleg Alexandrov

 * Good point. Done. Andrewa 03:21, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Dunno if this is a little late, but...

New Mathematics Project Participants List
Hi Andrew.

In case you didn't follow the discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics, I'm writing to you to let you know that I've converted the "WikiProject Mathematics Participants List" into a table. It is now alphabetical, includes links to the participant's talk page and contribution list, and has a field for "Areas of Interest". Since your name is on the list, I thought you might want to check and/or update your entry.

Regards, Paul August ☎ 21:44, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

I see you've got religion!
Hallo, Andrew! I just bumped into your new user page over at Religion Wiki. I can see a lot of potential in it, but it's only just taking off now. You can find me at User:Garzo here, or Wikicities:c:religion:User:Garzo. I hope to see you around in both places. Gareth Hughes 12:43, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Andrew. I've replied to your message here. Angela. 23:41, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

Wikirhyme
Wikirhyme is alive:

Do you think wikirhyme needs to be separate from Wiktionary? I would imagine it ought to be a subproject there. Angela. 03:55, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * It could work either way.

 * Advantages I see of doing it in Wiktionary:
 * Existing base of editors.
 * Existing administration, documentation etc. (e.g. I'm still a bit vague as to how namespaces should work in Wikicities).
 * Wikilinks to lexical content (and in particular definitions) would be useful if they were internal Wikilinks, while my guess is that in Wikirhyme as currently described, they would be more trouble than they were worth.

 * Advantages I see in doing it in Wikicities:
 * Doing it in in Wiktionary requires an expansion of the scope and purpose of Wiktionary, not a great one perhaps but one that would need to be approved by the existing community. There's bound to be someone who wants to oppose it, or worse, to have it done their way despite having no interest in supporting this particular subproject by their own hard work! It happens all the time in Wikipedia, it's not a great annoyance to me but I suspect it's a factor that alienates some other potential contributors. In Wikicities, the only people involved would be those actually interested in the project. This is a much better atmosphere in which to work out the inevitable teething problems.
 * Some people may be very interested in working on a focussed rhyming dictionary, but unexcited about doing it as a part of the Wiktionary project (and there's at least one of these: Me! I tried Wiktionary, but it just didn't grab me at all). If there are a significant number of them, it might actually be an advantage to have it separate in order to attract contributors.
 * The culture of Wikicities just seemed a better fit, I don't really know why.
 * There are some quite tricky issues involved, to the point that I feel that the existing goals of Wiktionary could be impeded by doing the rhyming stuff, or alternatively the rhyming stuff made a lot more difficult by needing to fit into the lexical framework. The guidelines I've already written are bad enough, just imagine trying to integrate them into the Wiktionary documentation.

 * If somebody else wants to set up a rhyming dictionary subproject in Wiktionary, I'll possibly support it and probably use it, and of course without any further permission they can already use the material from my user subpage under the GFDL (I suspect some users don't realise that). I think it would be a great resource either way once it got going.

 * But I can't see myself proposing it as a Wiktionary subproject at this stage, while (obviously) I think I might be interested in doing the hard work required to set up a separate project. This is a direct consequence of my current belief that it will be a lot more work to set it up in Wiktionary, so if that concern can be addressed I may well change my mind.

 * Further comments welcome! I put it up mainly to make it a bit easier to edit, it may not ever be proposed, or at least not by me. There is a lot of work involved either way, and the existing free online rhyming dictionaries and portals do a reasonable job already. Andrewa 04:45, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I've asked GerardM about this since he's planning an "ultimate Wiktionary", which will already broaden the scope of the current Wiktionary since it will include all languages. It might be worthwhile asking others in the Wiktionary community about this as well. Angela. 15:57, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, it would certainly be good to float it with others more involved at Wiktionary. I guess I've felt that Wiktionary was a bit minimalist, when compared to the venerable OED. If I were promoting a Wiki dictionary, I'd want lots of external links to usages of the words on the web, similar in concept to the many quotes in the OED. (It's bizarre that the OED was a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, work, considering the use that the now-disgraced prescriptive schools of linguistics have made of it and subsequent dictionaries!) It would be so easy to do, but it doesn't seem to be the agenda of the community there. So, I didn't hold a lot of hope that they'd want to enlarge the scope.

 * Feel free to refer others to my user subpage at Wikicities, and/or to here. Interested in all comments. I wasn't ready to promote the page, but obviously as soon as it goes up, people are invited to read and edit it! Andrewa 17:41, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * In principle there is no reason why it cannot be included in wiktionary nor why it cannot be included in the Ultimate Wiktionary. There are good reasons why you want this. Given the current ambitions of the UW we do not have time/money/resources to include it. It needs some seperate work and to include it you need some time and attention. When we have our basic functionality, it is relatively easy to include it. What I would want is the ability to include or exclude it using options in the user preferences.

 * A similar idea would be to include puzzle dictionary defenitions, this could be treated in a similar fashion.

 * So, the answer is yes, I would like it. But not just yet. GerardM (copied here from an email to Angela with Gerard's permission)

issues about school articles
In November 2003, there was a VfD debate over Sunset High School (Portland). The debate was archived under Talk:Sunset High School (Portland). What to do with the article is still being contested and has been recently re-nominated for VfD at Votes for deletion/Sunset High School (Portland).

I am writing to you because you have participated in such debates before. There still does not exist a wikipedia policy (as far as i can tell) over what to do in regards to articles about specific U.S. public school. My hope is that a real consensus can come out of the debate, and a real policy can take shape. Take part if you are so willing. Kingturtle 02:30, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Done, or at least started. Good luck. Andrewa 13:48, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

VfD notice
Did you remove the VfD notice from 1-san? Why? Andrewa 15:21, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * No — in fact I've just looked, and it's still there, with no edits since it was placed there. What made you think that it had been removed? Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 15:27, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Curioser and curioser... to me the page history looks like this:

* (cur) (last) 21:47, 23 Apr 2005 Master Thief Garrett * (cur) (last) 21:29, 23 Apr 2005 Mel Etitis (rm ) * (cur) (last) 18:41, 23 Apr 2005 Master Thief Garrett * (cur) (last) 17:39, 23 Apr 2005 Gwalla

 * and when I follow the (last) link from what seems to be an update by you, it looks like a removal of an incorrect VfD tag. Andrewa 15:34, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I see — no, it was the removal of an incorrect speedy delete tag. I recommended that he place it on VfD – which he did – and that's where we are now. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 16:39, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * OK, that's a relief... my mistake. Welcome to the admin team, BTW. Andrewa 16:44, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

On shades of dark green
You're quite right, of course, this was housekeeping that can be done outside the scope of VfD. Brunswick green -> British racing green. Thanks. Ben-w.

Re:User talk:194.83.77.2
Thanks for the kind words. Usually I just use the -templates but seeing those self reverts convinced me that this one should get a customized message. Sjakkalle 07:44, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

VfD not 'intuitive', or is it me?
Hi, Andrew. I have just fouled up the submission of a VfD. What I thought I was doing was sending the image PFCamogie.jpg to the VfD process. That's after I put a much more sensibly sized and cropped version of the image at Pamela Fitzgerald. What I did was create an extraneous page that meant nothing, and sent that to the VfD. AARRGGHH!! I am NOT asking you to fix this. I'll let someone else do that, or ask for further help if it's not sorted out in the next 24 hours. Peter Ellis 03:41, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

MWOT
Good idea, I like it. Radiant_* 08:17, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

Merge vs. cut-and-paste
Firstly, thank you for your welcome and polite reply on my talk page to my ??? in Votes for deletion/Shakespeare Discussion Groups.

I believe I understand all the terms you used but did not understand the meaning of the sentence: Merge as we use the term here means including cut-and-paste text moves, which then gives GFDL problems unless a redirect is kept to preserve the edit history, and this redir would be useless.

After taking some time to carefully read this sentence again, however, I believe I understand some of your meaning.

Would it not be appropriate and correct, though, to preserve the edit history of who added those Shakespeare discussion group links and if someone, per chance, was looking for an article on Shakespeare discussion groups, a redirect to where they might be found seems helpful.

Cheers, Double Blue  (Talk) 14:17, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

WBGU-TV

WBGU-TV (channel 27) is a PBS member television station licensed to Bowling Green, Ohio, United States. Owned by Bowling Green State University, it is sister to radio station WBGU (88.1 FM). The two stations share studios at the Tucker Center for Telecommunications on the BGSU campus; WBGU-TV's transmitter is located near Belmore, Ohio. (While officially part of the BGSU campus, the Tucker Center is actually located two blocks south of Wooster Street, which marks much of the southern boundary of the campus.) Unlike the radio station, WBGU-TV is not primarily operated by students at the university; however, the station does offer many different student positions that allow students to gain experience.

WBGU is one of two PBS member stations in the Toledo television market, alongside WGTE-TV (channel 30) in Toledo proper. WBGU also serves as the de facto PBS member station for the Lima market, as that market does not have a PBS member station of its own.

History
WBGU-TV began broadcasting February 10, 1964, from a transmitter site on the campus. It operated on channel 70 and broadcast exclusively in black and white, as was then the norm, within a 15 mi radius of the BGSU campus.

To increase the coverage area of WBGU-TV, the Ohio Educational Television Network Commission applied for and received a construction permit in 1971 to build a satellite in Lima on channel 57. In the process, however, what was planned as a separate station, WQOL, turned into a major transmitter upgrade for WBGU-TV. A new, 759,000-watt color transmitter and tower near Leipsic were activated when WBGU-TV—the last full-power station to broadcast on a channel 70 or above in the United States—moved to channel 57. WBGU-TV would move to channel 27 in 1986, expanding its coverage area and beginning to broadcast in stereo. Channel 27 had originally been proposed for the Lima satellite plan, but protests from the nearby WGTE-TV in Toledo, which operated on the adjacent channel 30 at the time and, because of significant territorial overlap, feared confusion between the two channels, prompted state and university officials to settle for the higher channel number.

The station first broadcast from a small studio located in the university's South Hall. After the Moore Musical Arts Center was built in 1979, the university's radio stations and telecommunications department (then the department of radio, television, and film) moved to West Hall, which formerly housed the university's college of music. Sometime after that, WBGU-TV moved to a new building located at 245 Troup Avenue in Bowling Green; the building was renamed the Tucker Center on May 6, 1994.

During the 1970s and early 1980s, WBGU maintained a low-powered repeater in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on channel 39, W39AA (later to affiliate with Indianapolis' WFYI), which became full-powered WFWA in 1985.

Today, WBGU-TV broadcasts to nineteen counties in northwestern and west central Ohio including the markets of Toledo and Lima. With most attic antennas, WBGU's signal can be tuned in as far west as Fort Wayne and as far north as central Lenawee County, Michigan. During tropospheric conditions, it can be seen as far north as Melvindale, Michigan, 87 mi away with a very advanced indoor antenna.

In Toledo, Buckeye Broadband carries WBGU-TV on cable channel 57, which is, ironically, the station's previous channel number on the UHF dial. No subchannels are available on Buckeye Broadband.

WBGU-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 27, at midnight on December 14, 2008, approximately six months before the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 56, which was among the high band UHF channels (52-69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition, to its analog era UHF channel 27.

In 2019, WBGU-TV won a regional Emmy Award for a training video produced in conjunction with campus police to help counter active shooter threats.

Programming
National programming produced by WBGU includes The American Woodshop, distributed by the National Educational Telecommunications Association.

Each weekday during the academic term of public schools in the Great Black Swamp region, WBGU-TV broadcasts six hours of educational programming provided (and, in some cases, produced) by the Northwest Ohio Educational Technology Foundation. The NWOET is operated at the Tucker Center, but is a non-profit state agency separate from the university.

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed:

Spectrum reallocation
WBGU-TV had considering selling off its UHF frequency as part of the digital spectrum auction, for mobile bandwidth use, but pulled out late in the auction bidding process. The station remained on the air, but relocated to UHF 22 from UHF 27 on December 4, 2018.

Samar Sen (poet)

Samar Sen (সমর সেন; 10 October 1916 – 23 August 1987) was a prominent Indian Bengali poet and journalist in the post-Independence era.

Education
Samar Sen was a graduate of the Scottish Church College, at the University of Calcutta.

Early life and career
Sen was born in a well-known Vaidya family. Sen's grandfather, Dinesh Chandra Sen, was a well-known writer and member of the Bangiya Sahitya Parishad. His father, Arun Sen, an academic, noted, "I am the son of an illustrious father and the father of an illustrious son!" Samar Sen, along with Subhash Mukhopadhyay, belonged to the second generation of modern Bengali poets. He gave up poetry fairly early, however, and devoted the better part of his later life to Marxist politics and journalism. He was the editor of the leftist newspaper Frontier, published from Kolkata, which was banned during the period of the Indian Emergency (1975 -1977) declared by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

Poetry
Samar Sen, like his poetic contemporaries, grew up under the gigantic impact of Rabindranath Tagore. Yet Sen was perhaps the first to 'break' with the lyrical romanticism of Tagore and introduce "modern" concerns (disenchantment, decadence, avant-garde urban perspectives) into Bengali verse. Through his work, the influence of French and English modernism was first translated into Bengali verse; at the same time, the convergence of modernism and Marxism was evident early on in his poetic thought and style. His poetry was somewhat over-shadowed by his very original journalism, produced while he served as editor of the legendary Frontier. He was also known for his translations of Soviet literature; he spent nearly five years in Moscow working as a translator, although later in life he became doubtful about bureaucratic Communism. Samar Sen also edited the radical journal Now, publishing a galaxy of prominent scholars and writers, including Joan Robinson and Satyajit Ray; his deputy editor was the playwright and actor Utpal Dutt. In his private life Sen was a man with a wry sense of humour, sometimes acerbic but often lethally accurate. He never regretted the sacrifice of what could have been a comfortable material life, supported by conventional measures of bourgeois success. His loyalty was always to the downtrodden. Some critics mourn his abandonment of poetry as a loss to Indian literature, reasoning that his acute perception and extraordinary command of languages would have continued to produce memorable verse of lasting significance. Sen decided, however, that poetry was a luxury in a world of gross deprivation and injustice and decided he would instead dedicate himself to agitating on behalf of the poor, regardless of the cost to himself. He remained committed to this cause for the rest of his life, despite experiencing significant poverty himself.

Tribute

 * ... He is comparatively modern poet without being progressive. He has dedicated his first work to Muzaffar Ahmad. I pray that it should mean something more than a mere personal allegiance ... Brevity is its (his poems') soul ... Samar Sen is an up-to-date representative poet. He needs to be progressive by informing himself with a sense of history. He has also yet to be symbolic. Still there is no doubt of his being a poet of a particular genre. (Dhurjati Mukherji)
 * We talk about being rid of the influence of Rabindranath [Tagore]; as if we take it for granted that the influence of Rabindranath is inevitable in a young Bengali poet's endeavour. But what amazes me is that this young poet has never been under the influence of Rabindranath. (Buddhadeb Basu)

Quotes

 * Among those who are penning modern Bengali poetry, most of them haven't joined a political movement, and that's sad. But many of them are powerful writers and have impacted the middle class society. Reason? Because many of them have brought changes in their perspective and expression, breaking the ivory tower of a mere aesthetics of truth, beauty and goodness and by being conscious of the disgust and the multi-layered failure of the middle class life.
 * In these times of dereliction and dismay, of wars, unemployment and revolutions, the decayed side of things attracts us most ... Perhaps that is because we have our roots deep in the demoralized petty bourgeoisie and lack the vitality of a rising class.
 * Our poetry (Bengali poetry) is basically without a tradition.

Samar Sen was founder-editor of the weekly magazine Frontier, first published in 1968.

Marcus Samuel, 1st Viscount Bearsted

Marcus Samuel, 1st Viscount Bearsted, (5 November 1853 – 17 January 1927), known as Sir Marcus Samuel between 1898 and 1921 and subsequently as The Lord Bearsted until 1925, was a Lord Mayor of London and the founder of the Shell Transport and Trading Company, which was later restructured including a Netherlands-based company commonly referred to as Royal Dutch Shell.

Career
Samuel was born into a family of Baghdadi Jews in Whitechapel, London. His father, also named Marcus Samuel, ran a successful import-export business, M. Samuel & Co., trading with the coalition in the Far East, which Marcus carried on with his brother, Samuel Samuel. M. Samuel & Co launched the first Japanese gold sterling loan issued in London in 1897, and was largely concerned in the introduction of Japanese municipal loans, and in the development of the coal trade in Japan.

He was educated at Edmonton and in Brussels, and travelled extensively in Asia before settling down in business, visiting Ceylon, Straits Settlements, Siam, the Philippines, China and Japan.

Samuel realised the potential of the oil market during a prospecting trip to the Caucasus in 1890. In 1891, he secured a nine year exclusive deal with the Rothschilds, to sell Bnito's kerosene east of Suez. Samuel had commissioned the design and construction of a safer generation of tanker, safe enough to transit the Suez Canal. The first of which was Murex, that set sail from West Hartlepool for Batum on 22 July 1892, where it acquired its load of kerosene. The ship transited the Suez Canal on 23 August, and proceeded onward to his storage facilities in Singapore and then Bangkok, for retail distribution. Samuel then built ten additional ships, also named for seashells. In 1895, he received a concession in the Kutei region of east Borneo, where oil was discovered in 1897.

In 1897, he incorporated the Shell Transport and Trading Company, in reference to the trading business his father started as a "shell merchant". He was made a justice of the peace in Kent, a master of the Spectacle Makers' Company, and received a knighthood for helping a British warship grounded at Port Said.

Samuel had a long career in the civic government of the City of London. He was elected an Alderman of the London ward of Portsoken in 1891, and elected Sheriff of the City of London in 1894 (serving October 1894 to September 1895). While Sheriff, he took a leading part in the scheme for the unification of London by the absorption of the City and the metropolitan districts into the London County Council (which had been created in 1889). In late September 1902 he was elected Lord Mayor of London for the coming year (serving from November 1902 to November 1903), and received the traditional Baronetcy in 1903. During his year as Lord Mayor, he paid official visits to several English cities. Accompanied by the sheriffs, he visited Newcastle upon Tyne in late November 1902, where his wife named a Shell petroleum steamer, they made a journey down the River Tyne, and visited the Elswick works.

He was on the Commission for the Lieutenancy for City of London, a visiting justice of Holloway and Newgate prisons, and chairman of a City committee in connection with the Royal Commission on the Port of London (1900–02). He was also for three years a member of the Thames Conservancy board as the elected representative of the shipowners, and was a Justice of the peace for Kent.

In 1907, Samuel's company combined with Royal Dutch Petroleum to create the Royal Dutch/Shell Group, a holding company for Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij, containing the production and refining assets, and Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company containing the transport and storage assets. Marcus served as a Director of the Alliance Marine Assurance Company. M. Samuel & Co., having transformed over the years to a merchant bank, merged in 1965 with Philip Hill, Higginson, Erlangers Ltd to create Hill Samuel, which is now a part of Lloyds TSB.

In recognition of his contribution to the British cause in World War I, he was created 1st Baron Bearsted of Maidstone in the County of Kent in the 1921 Birthday Honours. In the 1925 Birthday Honours, he was elevated to 1st Viscount Bearsted. Lord Bearsted was also awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Law (LLD) from the University of Sheffield during his lifetime.

Personal life

Samuel was born into an Iraqi Jewish family in Whitechapel, London. He married Fanny Elizabeth Benjamin in 1881, a daughter of Benjamin Benjamin, of Stranraer House, London. Lady Samuel was godmother to the steam tanker SS Silverlip during a visit to Newcastle in November 1902.

Samuel went riding every morning at Hyde Park, London, and his country house was on a 500-acre estate in Kent, called The Mote.

USS Cimarron (AO-22)

USS Cimarron (AO-22) was a Cimarron-class oiler oiler serving with the United States Navy and the second ship to be named for the Cimarron River in the Southwestern United States. She was launched 7 January 1939 by Sun Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, Chester, Pennsylvania; sponsored by Mrs. William D. Leahy; and commissioned 20 March 1939.

World War II
Cimarron cleared Houston on 31 May 1939 for Pearl Harbor, arriving on 21 July. She transported oil between west coast ports and Pearl Harbor, making 13 such voyages until she sailed for the east coast on 19 August 1940. After repairs and alterations, she began oil runs on the east coast, principally between Baton Rouge and Norfolk, until August 1941, when she took part in amphibious operations. From 5–16 September she put to sea with a transport convoy bound for Iceland, and voyaged north again from 12 October to 5 November to refuel ships at Placentia Bay. On 15 November 1941, she joined a convoy at Trinidad bound for Singapore with reinforcements, but was detached from the convoy on 9 December at Cape Town, South Africa. Returning to Trinidad on 31 December, she operated from Brazilian ports to Iceland until 4 March 1942, when she cleared Norfolk for San Francisco.

Pacific War
Cimarron reached San Francisco on 1 April 1942 and sailed the next day with the task force bound for the first air raid on Tokyo on 18 April. With USS Sabine (AO-25), they fueled the fleet at sea before and after the raid, and returned to Pearl Harbor on 25 April. She sailed on 29 April, bound to join the force soon to join battle with the Japanese naval forces in the Coral Sea, but arrived after the battle to refuel destroyers at Nouméa, and returned to Pearl Harbor on 26 May. She cleared Pearl Harbor on 28 May to fuel the force which defeated the Japanese in the Battle of Midway and returned on 12 June, departing on 7 July to support the operation in the Solomon Islands. Using Nouméa as her principal base, Cimarron occasionally reloaded at Suva and Efate. After repairs at San Francisco in November 1942, she sailed for the forward area 18 December. She operated again out of Nouméa supporting the final stages of the Guadalcanal action, then fueled out of Efate, carried cargo to Sydney, Australia, and returned to fueling at Dumbea Bay in support of the occupation of New Georgia. She returned to San Francisco, in July 1943, and then made two trips from the west coast to Pearl Harbor.

Cimarron departed Pearl Harbor 29 September 1943 with the force which raided Wake Island on 5–6 October, and returned to Pearl Harbor on 16 October. She sailed once again on 14 November to fuel in support of the Gilbert Islands campaign, returning 1 December, and sailed to San Pedro, California, to reload 12 December to 4 January 1944. Clearing Pearl Harbor on 13 January 1944, she supported the Marshall Islands operation and the February attacks on Truk from Majuro until 6 June; the Marianas operation from Eniwetok until 26 August; and the Palau Islands operation from Ulithi.

After a stateside overhaul from October through December 1944, Cimarron arrived at Ulithi on 26 December 1944. From 27 December to 21 January 1945 she sailed to fuel the task force launching air attacks on Indo-China and Philippine targets as part of the Luzon invasion, and put to sea again from 8 February to 22 March for air raids on the Japanese home islands and the invasion of Iwo Jima. From 26 March to 23 May she sailed from Ulithi to fuel ships engaging in the Okinawa operation, and from 3 June shuttled between Ulithi and the areas from which the mighty carrier task forces launched the final series of raids upon the heartland of Japan. Ulithi remained her base as she supported the occupation until 10 September, when she anchored in Tokyo Bay. Operations in the Far East continued until 4 February 1946, when she arrived at Long Beach Naval Shipyard, for overhaul.

Korean War
Between July 1946 and June 1950, Cimarron ferried oil from the Persian Gulf to naval bases in the Marianas and Marshalls, occasionally continuing on to the US West Coast. Her first tour of duty in the Korean War, from 6 July 1950 to 3 June 1951, found her fueling ships of the Taiwan Patrol at Okinawa, amphibious ships at Kobe, and operating from Sasebo to the waters off Korea to fuel task forces. Several times she entered the heavily mined waters of Wonsan Harbor South Korea to fuel the ships carrying out the lengthy blockade and bombardment of that key port.

Returning to the west coast, she gave service as a training tanker until her second Korean tour, from 1 August to 10 December 1951. During this time she spent a month at Taiwan fueling the ships on duty in the Formosa Straits, and made three voyages to Korean waters from Sasebo. During 1952, overhaul and training on the west coast preceded her third Korean war deployment from 9 April to 5 January 1953, when her duty was similar to that of her second. Her fourth tour of duty in the Far East was completed between 11 April and 27 November 1953.

Cimarron sailed to the Far East again between 14 June 1954 and 8 February 1955, during which she served as flagship of the United Nations support group for Operation Passage to Freedom, the evacuation of refugees from Communist North Vietnam. Her pattern of operations from that time into 1963 included highly effective support of the guardian U.S. 7th Fleet in its Far Eastern operations through deployments in 1955, 1956-1957, 1957-1958, 1958-1959, 1959, and 1960. As of 1963, she had the longest continuous commissioned service of any active ship in the United States Navy, belying her age as she continued to provide her essential support with outstanding skill and efficiency.

Vietnam War
Cimarron continued her service into the Vietnam War between 1965 and 1967 and received the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and Vietnam Service Medal for its participation in the Vietnam Advisory Campaign, Vietnam Defense, and Vietnamese Counteroffensive Phases I through III. In 1968, she was the oldest US Navy ship in continuous active service. Cimarron was decommissioned and struck from the Navy List in October 1968 and sold for scrap in 1969.

The bell from the ship was installed at Cimarron High School in Cimarron, New Mexico, where it was donated to honor the Santa Fe Trail "Cimarron Cutoff" and its proximity to Cimarron River Basin's headwaters.

Awards
Cimarron received 10 battle stars for World War II service, 7 for the Korean War, and 4 campaign stars for her Vietnam War service.

Wildsiderz

Wildsiderz is a comic book series created by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell, and published by Wildstorm Productions. It is the second series created by Campbell and Hartnell after their successful Danger Girl. It features a group of teenagers who, through newly developed holographic technology, can take on the powers of animals to fight a mad scientist.

It was originally planned as a five-issue limited series (six, if issue #0 is included), but it ceased publication after issue #2.

Primary characters

 * Derek Styler - A skateboard fanatic, computer genius, and insect freak, Styler helped create the holographic technology used by the Wildsiderz. His holographic "wildside" is the dragonfly, which allows him to fly at hypersonic speeds, see with 360-degree vision, and fire blasts of energy from his "tail".
 * Jessica "Jess" Jennings - Styler's best friend (though she wishes he would see her as a girlfriend), Jess is a volunteer at an animal refuge. She is the teams resident animal expert. Her "wildside" is the eagle, which allows her to fly at amazing speeds (she has yet to find her top velocity) and grab or shred objects with her foot talons.
 * Katrina "Kat" Summers - Head cheerleader, Kat was actually a little clumsy, and wanted the Wildsiderz power to help her in her acrobatics. Her "wildside" is the panther, which gives her amazing agility, incredible balance, deadly claws, and superhuman hearing.
 * Zachary "Zak" Hamilton  - The resident all-star athlete, Zak is a football player and Kat's boyfriend. He had Styler use data taken from a special effects studio to create his "wildside", the velociraptor, which gives him incredible running speed, slashing talons, and a powerful bite.
 * William "Bam" Boome - A big burly jock with more muscles than brains, Bam is Zak's best friend. He loves to eat and party. His "wildside" is the gorilla, which gives him supheruman strength and dexterity.
 * Mirra Martin - The super-genius who helped Styler create his holographic tech, Mirra used a wheelchair, until she used the holographic tech to restore her ability to walk. She has no "wildside", but has a pair of hard-light holographic "legs" which are superimposed over her real legs, enabling her to walk, run, or jump better than an Olympic athlete.
 * Tyberious Spydre - Evil genius who used the Wildsiderz technology to create holographic monster (Terror-Bytes) who obey his commands. He hates Mirra.
 * Janyne - Tyberious's assistant and bodyguard. She was given Wildsiderz tech to better serve her boss. Her "wildside" is the mantis, which gives her lightning-fast reflexes, and sword-like pincers.

New York Surrogate's Court

The Surrogate's Court of the State of New York handles all probate and estate proceedings in the New York State Unified Court System. All wills are probated in this court and all estates of people who die without a will are handled in this court. Unclaimed property of the deceased without wills is handled by the Judge of this court. It also handles adoptions.

There is a Surrogate's Court in each county in the state. The judges of this court are styled the "Surrogate of [X] County". The surrogate is elected countywide, and is required to be a resident of the pertaining county. Each of New York's 62 counties has one surrogate, except New York County and Kings County which have two each. Surrogates are elected to 10-year terms, except those in the five counties within New York City where surrogates are elected to 14-year terms. In some counties, usually those with a small number of inhabitants, the judge of the County Court holds at the same time the office of surrogate.

There have been frequent efforts to abolish the Surrogate's Court and redistribute its powers to the New York Supreme Court (the general trial court) and the Family Court. The most recent efforts stem from the corruption scandal surrounding former Brooklyn Surrogate Michael Feinberg, who was removed from the bench in 2005.

Dix Mountain

Dix Mountain is a mountain in the Dix Range of the Adirondacks in the U.S. state of New York. With an elevation of 4857 ft, it is the sixth highest peak in New York and one of the 46 Adirondack High Peaks. It is located roughly on the boundary between the towns of North Hudson and Keene in Essex County, and in the High Peaks Wilderness Area of Adirondack Park. The crest of the peak consists of a very narrow ridge, which continues to the southeast and rises to a subsidiary peak named Beckhorn, then continues south to other peaks of the Dix Range. The summit is also in an alpine zone above the treeline. The ridge offers unobstructed views of Elk Lake to the southwest, the Great Range to the northwest, and Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains to the east.

The mountain was reportedly first climbed in 1807 by a man named Rykert in the course of surveying the town line. The peak was given its current name by state geologist Ebenezer Emmons, who named it in 1837 after John Adams Dix, who was the Secretary of State of New York at the time, and later became the state's governor.

Ascent routes
Approaching from Elk Lake to the south, hikers can climb the mountain from several routes. The Hunters Pass Trail begins at the Elk Lake parking lot and is closed during the big game hunting season. It proceeds north, parallel to the Dix Range, and passes through Hunter's Pass before intersecting the Round Pond Trail, after which it turns and ascends Dix mountain from the north. This route is 7.4 mi and involves and elevation gain of 2800 ft. Lean-tos are located along the trail at Slide Brook, 2.3 mi from the trailhead, and Lillian Brook, 3.6 mi from the trailhead. An alternative route is to take the Dix Trail from its junction with the Hunters Pass Trail along a steeper but shorter route to Beckhorn and from there to the summit. This route is 6.6 mi from the Elk Lake parking lot to the summit. Hikers wishing to cover other peaks in the Dix Range can follow an unmarked trail to the summit of Macomb Mountain, or follow an unmarked trail from Lillian Brook to the ridge between Hough Peak, South Dix, and Macomb Mountain, and travel north on the crest ridge.

Dix Mountain can also be approached from the north on the Round Pond Trail beginning at New York State Route 73, which is maintained by the Adirondack Forty-Sixers. The trail is 7.4 mi to the summit for an elevation gain of 3200 ft. A lean-to is located 4.6 mi from the trailhead. At 6.7 mi, this trail has a junction with the Hunter's Pass Trail from Elk lake, before turning up the ridge of the mountain to the summit.

Jack of all trades

"Jack of all trades, master of none" is a figure of speech used in reference to a person who has dabbled in many skills, rather than gaining expertise by focusing on only one.

The original version, "a jack of all trades", is often used as a compliment for a person who is good at fixing things and has a good level of broad knowledge. They may be a master of integration: an individual who knows enough from many learned trades and skills to be able to bring the disciplines together in a practical manner. This person is a generalist rather than a specialist.

Origins
Robert Greene used the phrase "absolute Johannes Factotumen" rather than "Jack of all trades" in his 1592 booklet Greene's Groats-Worth of Wit, to dismissively refer to actor-turned-playwright William Shakespeare; this is the first published mention of Shakespeare.

Some scholars believe Greene was referring not to Shakespeare, but to "Resolute" Johannes Florio, known as John Florio. They have pointed out how "Johannes" was the Latin version of John (Giovanni), and the name by which Florio was known among his contemporaries. The term "absolute" is thought to be a rhyme for the nickname used by Gregorio in his signature ("resolute"), and the term "factotum" is thought to be used as a disparaging word for secretary, John Florio's job.

In 1612, the phrase appeared in the book "Essays and Characters of a Prison" by English writer Geffray Mynshul (Minshull), originally published in 1618, and was probably based on the author's experience while held at Gray's Inn, London, when imprisoned for debt.

"Master of none"
The "master of none" element appears to have been added in the late 18th century; it made the statement less flattering to the person receiving it. Today, "Jack of all trades, master of none" generally describes a person whose knowledge, while covering a number of areas, is superficial in all of them. When abbreviated as simply "jack of all trades", it is an ambiguous statement – the user's intention is then dependent on context. However, when "master of none" is added (sometimes in jest), this is unflattering. In the United States and Canada, the phrase has been in use since 1721.

Other quotation variants
In modern times, the phrase with the "master of none" element is sometimes expanded into a less unflattering couplet by adding a second line: "but oftentimes better than master of one" (or variants thereof), with some modern writers incorrectly saying that such a couplet is the "original" version with the second line having been dropped   but online discussions attempting to find instances of this second line dated to before the twenty-first century have resulted in no response.

Bundesautobahn 40

, (named A 430 until the early 1990s) is one of the most used Autobahns in Germany. It crosses the Dutch-German border as a continuation of the Dutch A67 and crosses the Rhine, leads through the Ruhr valley toward Bochum, becoming B 1 (Bundesstraße 1) at the Kreuz Dortmund West and eventually merging into the A 44 near Holzwickede.

It has officially been named Ruhrschnellweg (Ruhr Fast Way), but locals usually call it Ruhrschleichweg (Ruhr Crawling Way) or "the Ruhr area's longest parking lot". According to Der Spiegel, it is the most congested motorway in Germany.

In the city of Essen, a Stadtbahn service operates on the median of the A 40 between Tunnel Ruhrschnellweg and Mülheim-Heißen. Between the Essen-Huttrop and the Essen-Kray junctions, there is a guided bus system called Spurbus.

Castle Aviation

Castle Aviation is a cargo airline and private passenger airline based in North Canton, Ohio, United States. It offers charter cargo and private passenger services, but primarily provides priority freight service for the Canadian parcel post service Purolator. Its only base is the Akron–Canton Airport.

History
The airline was established and started operations in January 1986. In April 2004 it started operating the first freight version of the Saab 340A aircraft.

Fleet
The Castle Aviation fleet consists of the following aircraft (as of October 2023):

Accidents / Incidents

 * On December 10, 2021, Castle Air Flight 921 (N54GP), a Castle Aviation owned and operated Swearingen Merlin flying from Essex County Airport in New Jersey to Manchester–Boston Regional Airport, crashed into a wooded area in Bedford, New Hampshire on the banks of the Merrimack River while on short final to runway 6. The pilot, who was the sole occupant, was killed upon impact.
 * On February 10, 2016, a Castle Aviation owned and operated Cessna C208B Super Cargomaster slid off of a runway at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in winter weather conditions. This runway excursion resulted in the closing of a runway and several flights being diverted.
 * On December 5, 2007, a Caslte Aviation owned and operated Cessna C208B Super Cargomaster (N28MG) was flying from Rickenbacker International Airport to Buffalo Niagara International Airport when it crashed less than one minute after takeoff. The NTSB report indicated the probable cause of the crash was the pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control and collision avoidance with terrain due to spatial disorientation, with low cloud ceiling and night conditions contributing to the accident. The pilot and a passenger died in the crash. Also noteworthy is another Caslte Aviation Super Cargo Master (N27MG) was at the departure airport stuck in the snow where it had departed the pavement while taxiing for takeoff ahead of N28MG. N28MG taxied past the stuck N27MG and departed after deicing.
 * On October 8, 1998, a Caslte Aviation owned and operated Piper Chieftain (N3453A) was flying from Detroit Metropolitan Airport to Portage County Airport when it was destroyed after a forced landing in a wooded area near Ravenna, Ohio, approximately 5 miles from the destination airport due to fuel starvation. The airplane had been suffering issues with the landing gear status lights during the trip which caused a circuit breaker to open. The pilot flew four more legs with the airplane in this condition, not realizing the fuel gauges were also disabled by that circuit breaker.

 * Keep. www.icr.org (one of 4300 google hits) lists him as a creation scientist. That's a bit unusual for someone who seems to be prominent in mainstream research. He has potential for an interesting biography, and seems more notable than the average professor. Pburka 19:28, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * delete. nonnotable. Pburka's search criterion is a bit faulty. "Gregory Brewer" OR "Gregory J. Brewer" gives some 300 unique hits. mikka (t) 20:08, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn. His website makes no statements about his notability beyond the average college prof, so he fails the professor test. -Splash 22:23, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nn professor. --Etacar11 01:14, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nn professor -- and if he is a creation scientist, this fact (standing alone) would make him less notable, as he is likely to be shunned in his field. Xoloz 17:48, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Template talk:Bob Dylan

Template revisions
I've taken the liberty of revising the Dylan template you created a little while ago; it would have taken me longer to describe the changes I'd have suggested than to actually make them. The big change is to sort out the "standard" live albums separately -- the original version had several in the "albums" section, others in the "bootleg/live" section. Having gone that far, I then gave the "Bootleg Series" releases their own section; that's an intuitive call, and if it bothers you, just knock it back. Finally, klutz that I am, I can't figure out why my changes make the closing bracket visible, and nothing I've tried fixes it -- could you tell me what I've done wrong? Monicasdude 19:03, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I really liked you changes, I thought about making similar changes myself but didn't quite now how to do them - so I'm really glad that you did! I did some changes to the Bootleg Series, not showing the full title in the template. This was just an intuitive call from me, so if you relly don't like the changes it's just to revert them (I did them to make the template smaller a little bit smaller). David Björklund 20:46, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Your intuition is even better than mine. . .  Monicasdude 03:10, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * No, we're an unbeatable combination =)David Björklund 18:49, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Revision
Why does it no longer list albums and such like in the box, that was much easier to use, instead of having to navigate through various screens you could just click on what you wanted.
 * I was just wondering the same thing. It is rather inconvenient and don't match with other similar templates (such as The Beatles and other groups).  If unless someone can give an explain this pretty quickly I am going to change it back. Datapharmer 05:43, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well Done, I would change it but I have no idea how!
 * All of these large templates are being revised, because they are too large and take over the page. The template should not list individual albums (the Beatles one does not do this); it should be short and small. --FuriousFreddy 12:55, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

65 Revisited
Another contributor added the film 65 Revisited to the Bob Dylan nav template today. It showed as a red link. I did a bit of reading (found some reviews on the web), and then wrote a short article. It's real rough; please feel free to expand and improve. Hult041956 (talk) 00:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Never Ending Tour dates
Do we really need to list every year of the NET? I think one link to Never Ending Tour would be enough; that page lists all the individual years anyway. The Wookieepedian (talk) 16:39, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Compilations
To editors who keep moving the 1973 Dylan album and The Basement Tapes back into studio albums: they are compilations; you can find this fact detailed in just about any Dylan source book, biography, or critical discography. PJtP (talk) 00:46, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

I agree, Dylan and The Basement Tapes are clearly compilation albums by Wikipedia's own definition of a compilation album and are recognized as such by Expecting Rain's discography.

 * A studio album is a collection of songs recorded in a room set up for recordings. Generally not all recordings are chosen for the album, which would, by the definitions used here, make nearly every album released a compilation album. I have noted this discussion on the project page for further discussion. Menawhile I have reverted all changes made on this 5 year old unresolved discussion. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:04, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
