 * Yep, it's true. I saw that you had referred to me as a "he" on Dumoren's talk page, so I just left a note saying I was a she. Your image doesn't show up either because it wasn't uploaded, there's a typo in the image name, or the image has been deleted. I searched Image:hatashi kakashi-sensei.jpg and no such image exists. Regards, Sango  123  14:39, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * I looked through your contributions, and the correct image name is Image:Hatashi kakashi-sensei.JPG (capitalization is very important). Also, could you please explain why you made this edit? Thanks, Sango  123  22:50, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Xxx123. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Xxx123~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Velia

Velia was the Roman name of an ancient city on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is located near the modern village of Novi Velia near Ascea in the Province of Salerno, Italy.

It was founded by Greeks from Phocaea as Hyele (Ὑέλη) around 538–535 BC. The name later changed to Ele and then Elea (Ἐλέα) before it became known by its current Latin and Italian name during the Roman era.

The city was known for being the home of the philosophers Parmenides and Zeno of Elea, as well as the Eleatic school of which they were a part.

Geography
The site of the acropolis of ancient Elea was once a promontory called Castello a Mare, meaning "castle on the sea" in Italian. It now lies inland and was renamed Castellammare della Bruca in the Middle Ages. The city later developed on the coastal plain below.

History

According to Herodotus, in 545 BC Ionian Greeks fled Phocaea, in modern Turkey, which was being besieged by the Persians. After some wanderings (8 to 10 years) at sea, they stopped in Reggio Calabria, where they were probably joined by Xenophanes, who was at the time at Messina, and then moved north along the coast and founded the town of Hyele. According to Virgil, Velia is the place where the body of Palinurus washed ashore.

Around the 5th century BC, the city was known for its flourishing trade relations. It also took on considerable cultural importance for its pre-Socratic philosophical school, known as the Eleatic School, founded by Parmenides and carried forward by his student Zeno, famous for his paradoxes.

In the 4th century it entered the league of cities committed to stopping the advance of the Lucanians, who had already occupied nearby Poseidonia (Paestum) and were threatening Elea.

It joined an alliance with Rome in 273 BC and was included in the ancient province of Lucania. Elea had excellent relations with Rome: it supplied ships for the Punic wars (3rd-2nd century) and sent young priestesses for the cult of Demeter (Ceres), coming from the local aristocratic families. It became a holiday and health resort for Roman aristocrats, perhaps also thanks to the presence of the medical-philosophical school.

In 88 BC Elea was ascribed to the Romilia tribe, becoming a Roman municipium with the name of Velia, but with the right to maintain the Greek language and to mint its own coins. In the second half of the 1st century BC it served as a naval base, first for Brutus (44 BC) and then for Octavian (38 BC). The prosperity of the city continued until the end of the 1st century AD, when numerous villas and small settlements were built, together with new public buildings and thermae, but the progressive silting up of the port led the city to progressive isolation and impoverishment.

From the end of the imperial age, the last inhabitants were forced to take refuge in the upper part of the Acropolis to escape the advancement of marshy land.

The site

Remains of the city walls can be seen, with traces of one gate and several towers, of a total length of over three miles, and belong to three different periods, in all of which the local crystalline limestone is used.

Bricks with Greek brick-stamps were also employed in later times of a unique shape, each having two rectangular channels on one side.

There are remains of cisterns.

In 2022, excavations led to the discovery of the archaic temple of Athena on the acropolis of Velia. The oldest temple dates to 540-530 BC, the years following the battle of Alalia. Two well-preserved bronze Greek helmets with Etruscan design found there including metal fragments from weapons are thought to be offerings to the goddess after the battle.

Famous residents

 * The father of the Roman poet Publius Papinius Statius was born in Hyele (Silv 5.3.127).
 * Parmenides, philosopher and founder of the Eleatics
 * Zeno of Elea, Eleatic philosopher known for his paradoxes

Kantemirovskaya (Moscow Metro)

Kantemirovskaya (Кантемировская) is a Moscow Metro station in Tsaritsyno District, Southern Administrative Okrug, Moscow. It is on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line, between Kashirskaya and Tsaritsyno stations at the intersection of Proletarsky (Proletariat) avenue and Kantemirovskaya street. The station got its name from Kantemirovskaya Street, which in turn was named in honor of the 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya Tank Division.

Kantemirovskaya opened on 30 December 1984 as part of an extension but was closed the very next day because of flooding. It reopened on 9 February 1985.

Kantemirovskaya, having been designed by Rimidalv Pogrebnoy and Vladimir Filippov, is a shallow one-vault station with benches and signs attached to pink marble pillars situated along the center axis of the platform. The walls are faced with brown marble. A set of sculptures by Alexander Kibalnikov is located at one of the platform's ends.

The stations has been closed since 12 November 2022 due to the reconstruction works.

Bāṇabhaṭṭa

Bāṇabhaṭṭa (बाणभट्ट) was a 7th-century Sanskrit prose writer and poet from India. He was the Asthana Kavi in the court of the Emperor Harsha, who reigned c. 606–647 CE in northern India, first from Sthanvishvara, and later Kanyakubja. Bāna's principal works include a biography of Harsha, the Harshacharita (The Life of Harsha), and one of the world's earliest novels, Kadambari. Bāṇa died before finishing the novel and it was completed by his son Bhūṣaṇabhaṭṭa. Both these works are noted texts of Sanskrit literature. The other works attributed to him are the Caṇḍikāśataka and a drama, the Pārvatīpariṇaya. Banabhatta gets an applause as "Banochhistam Jagatsarvam" meaning Bana has described everything in this world and nothing is left.

Biography
A detailed account regarding his ancestry and early life can be reconstructed from the introductory verses attached to the Kadambari and the first two ucchāvasas of the Harṣacarita, while the circumstances behind the composition of the Harṣacarita are described in the third ucchāvasa of the text. Harsacarita is considered as the first Indian work which may be regarded as a historical biography. It gives a vivid picture of life in the Indian countryside.

Bāna was born to Chitrabhānu and Rājadevi in the village of Pritikuta in a Brahmin family from Kanyakubja. His mother died early leaving him in the loving care of his father. His father married again and had two more sons. After the death of his father when he was 14, Bāṇa led a colourful and wandering life with his half-brothers for a period but later came back to his native village. Here, on a summer day, on receiving a letter from Krishna, a cousin of Emperor Harsha, he met the emperor while he was camping near the town of Manitara. After receiving Bāna with mock signs of anger, the emperor showed him much favor.

Works

 * Bana (tr. G. Layne), Bāṇabhaṭṭa Kādambarī. A Classic Sanskrit Story of Magical Transformations (New York: Garland, 1991).
 * Harshacharita :The Harshacharita (Sanskrit: हर्षचरित, Harṣacarita) (The deeds of Harsha), is the biography of Indian emperor Harsha by Banabhatta, also known as Bana, who was a Sanskrit writer of seventh-century CE India. He was the Asthana Kavi, meaning Court Poet, of Harsha. The Harshacharita was the first composition of Bana and is considered to be the beginning of the writing of historical poetic works in the Sanskrit language.

Arlene Wohlgemuth

Arlene Reid Wohlgemuth (born July 16, 1947) is a former Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 58 in Johnson and Bosque counties south of Fort Worth, Texas.

Wohlgemuth served in the Seventy-fourth through Seventy-eighth Texas Legislatures. In 1997, she became involved in what was called the "Memorial Day Massacre." She raised a point of order that killed fifty-two proposed bills by preventing them from coming up for a vote before the end of the legislative session. Wohlgemuth was angry that opposition legislators had used a similar procedure the week before to prevent a vote on a proposal supported by Wohlgemuth to require parental notification if a minor procures an abortion.

Talk:History of South Carolina

Section title
I'm a bit surprised there is not a section called Proprietership between Prehistory and Colonial. This period introduced the characteristic economic system and concluded with the first of South Carolina's several revolutions.Hughespj 16:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I have changed "Pre-colonization" to "Pre-history" as colonization is a charged word (can be taken to imply that the area was unoccupied) while pre-history simply refers to anything that occurred prior to the keeping of known written records. I know that this was mentioned in the FAC evaluation, but perhaps another more neutral word could be found. I'm not sure what the specific objection was to the title "Pre-history" and the commentor did not elaborate. Cmadler 03:36, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, it's all right. I used that title in the first place because I had seen it in several other country and state articles. I'm going to write another state history article, History of Arizona and hopefully bring it up to FA status like this one. Right now it only incorperates text from Arizona. Doing another article on one of the original 13 colonies would be just too monotonous. I'm reading about 450 pages total of information before I get started. Toothpaste 06:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Moving content about Jim Hodges
There are currently 6 paragraphs about Jim Hodges in this article. Someone should move most of that content into the Jim Hodges article (which currently is little more than a stub), and create a summarized version for this article.

Leader Text
Following a request from Toothpaste, I'll have a go at condensing the leader text of the article below. Rob Church Talk 00:53, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Existing Leader Text
Although the contemporary U.S. state of South Carolina has been populated since approximately 13,000 BC (when tool-making nomads began to leave material remains), the documented history of South Carolina begins in 1540 with the visit of Hernando de Soto. The South Carolina Upcountry was settled largely by Scotch-Irish migrants from Pennsylvania and Virginia who were following the opening of the frontier. Carolina became a royal colony in 1712 before being split into the Province of North Carolina and the Province of South Carolina in 1719. South Carolina declared independence from Great Britain and set up its own government on March 15, 1776, and on February 5, 1778, South Carolina became the first state to ratify the first constitution of the United States, the Articles of Confederation.

Disputes over slavery (as well as other economic matters such as tariff levels) led it to be the first state to secede from the United States on December 20, 1860. The rest of the Southern states seceded in the following months; together, they organized themselves as the Confederate States of America. On April 12, 1861, Confederate batteries began shelling Fort Sumter, which stands on an island in Charleston harbor, thus precipitating the Civil War.

The Confederacy lost the war, and was subject to a bitter occupation during the process of Reconstruction. The freed slaves benefited from this, gaining numerous civil rights; however, the gains were short-lived, and were eventually taken away by the Democrats once South Carolina re-entered the Union and northern troops were withdrawn. Civil rights for South Carolina blacks would not return until the mid-20th century, under President Dwight Eisenhower.

Today, South Carolina is attractive to businesses due to its low cost of business environment, and South Carolina is a right to work state. Along with other states in the U.S. South, the state has sought to use its low labor costs to foster economic growth as part of the New South. Also like other former-Confederate states, South Carolina has been torn over memorials to its Confederate past. The state has had a vigorous debate over what should be done with a Conderate battle flag flown over the South Carolina State House. As a compromise, the flag was moved to a Confederate monument on State House grounds. Other current issues are legalization of gambling and the HOPE and LIFE scholarships.

Proposed Shortened Version
Although the contemporary state of South Carolina has been populated since approx. 13,000BC, the documented history of South Carolina begins in 1540 with the visit of Hernando de Soto. Scotch-Irish migrants from Pennsylvania and Virginia, following the opening of the fronter, settled in the South Carolina Upcountry. In 1712, Carolina became a royal colony before being split into the provinces of North and South Carolina in 1719. South Carolina declared independence from Great Britain on March 15, 1776; and on February 5, 1778, became the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States.

On December 20, 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the United States. With the collaboration of other Southern states, which also seceded in the following months, the Confederate States of America were organised. On April 12, 1861, Confederate batteries began shelling Fort Sumter, thus precipitating the Civil War. Following the Confederate loss of the war, and occupation during the Reconstruction process, the freed slaves benefited from increased civil rights. These were retracted when South Carolina re-entered the Union, and would not return until the Presidency of Dwight Eisenhower during the mid-20th century.

Comments

 * Proposed version completed. Do what you like with it. Rob Church Talk 01:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * ==The Leader Text==

The leader text seems drastically changed from these versions. I think it has POV problems. One could argue SC had an "extraordinary commitment" to political independence for whites; they were happy enough to go along with the Federal government when the South controlled it in the decades before the Civil War--Parkwells 15:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)--Parkwells 15:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Nowhere does it say when South Carolina signed the US Constitution. Seems to me this is not an accidental omission since the article mentions South Carolina signing the Articles of Confederation. I am a Northerner and I don't like this. Do what you like. I have made my peace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.236.123.29 (talk) 01:34, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Does this group self-identify as fundamentalist or did a Wikipedia editor apply the label? If they do not self-identify, I will remove the tag and link for NPOV, following the Associated Press guidelines for use of the term. Pollinator 18:51, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

Why did they split NC and SC?
Why did the British split the Carolina territory into North Carolina and South Carolina? I'm just curious, and think this deserves a cursory explaination in the article. Nick 08:27, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

I put this in the article:

The royal colony of Carolina (1712) was settled by immigrants from Pennsylvania and Virginia who followed the frontier, in the northern parts, while the southern parts were populated by wealthy English planters. As well, this southern part was more fully developed. For this reason, the Province of South Carolina was distinguished from the Province of North Carolina in 1719.

Toothpaste 08:44, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Reconstruction
This section describes nothing positive achieved, when public education, expanded suffrage for whites as well as blacks, and other reforms were instituted. It does not demonstrate NPOV. --Parkwells 19:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

1877-1890
This section only tells problems resulting from Reconstruction, none of the progress. There are no citations for references to "massive corruption", and damage to the state. Part of the debt resulted from planters refusing to pay taxes. Also the state took on more social welfare responsibilities during Reconstruction, to try to improve the situation of both black and white laborers, which the planter elite had neglected for years. W.E.B. Du Bois's account (1935) and Eric Foner (1988) gave more thorough and balanced accounts of what happened during and after Reconstruction. Also, the text refers to a leader's "demagoguery" as being the reason farmers wanted some assistance, but gives no references. --Parkwells 19:32, 26 October 2007 (UTC)--Parkwells 16:10, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Review: On Hold
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "World History-Americas" articles. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. However, in reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that need to be addressed. I have made minor corrections and have included several points below that need to be addressed for the article to remain a GA. Please address them within seven days and the article will maintain its GA status. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted. If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN.

The article is lacking inline citations in many areas, and for the article to maintain its GA status, it needs sources for the information present. There a large wealth of resources at the bottom of the page that can be used to provide the requested inline citations, and if desired, consider using both web and print sources. I have made a list of multiple statements, quotes, and statistics that should have inline citations:
 * 1) "The Scots-Irish constituted the largest and last group of immigrants from the British Isles before the Revolution." User:Parkwells put in Fischer cite to address this one.  Done
 * 2) "Political tensions between the lowcountry and upcountry became a recurring theme for generations."
 * This isn't a controversial statement - the regions differed in economics, culture, class, slaveholding and settlers' backgrounds. Competition was played out in politics.--Parkwells (talk) 20:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How you explained it is sufficient enough for me, so I struck through the issue. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 06:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) "Until about 1830, South Carolina had the largest Jewish population in the United States and all of North America." --Parkwells (talk) 19:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC) edited/changed for what was found and provided cite.Done
 * 2) "He also threatened to take away the parole of Patriot prisoners of war unless they took up arms against their fellow Americans." Delete; can't find source. Done--Parkwells (talk) 22:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) "Kings Mountain is considered to be the turning point in the southern campaigns since it forced General Cornwallis to split his troops, making his plan for a major push north impossible." --Parkwells (talk) 20:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Edit for Jefferson quote,and cite - Done
 * 4) "Before federal forces arrived at Charleston, Calhoun and Henry Clay agreed upon a compromise tariff that would lower rates over 10 years." Edit for passage of Compromise Tariff of 1830 and add correct cite from Library of Congress - note image of bill on same page has wrong attribution; don't know how to fix. Done.
 * 5) "States with strong pro-secession movements, such as Alabama and Mississippi, sent delegates who advised the Carolinians to "take the lead and secede at once."" Edit section to reflect history found in source document on First Baptist Church. Done--Parkwells (talk) 17:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) "Lincoln argued that the United States were "one nation, indivisible," and denied the Southern states' right to secede."
 * 7) "Among the reasons were that South Carolina lost 12,922 men to the war, 23% of its male white population of fighting age, the highest percentage of any state in the nation." --Parkwells (talk) 19:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Corrected and sourced - Done
 * 8) "Laws forbidding former Confederates, virtually the entire native white male population, from bearing arms only exacerbated the tensions, especially as rifle-bearing black militia units began drilling in the streets of South Carolina towns."
 * 9) "President Ulysses S. Grant sent 1,100 federal troops to keep order and ensure a "fair" election." Deleted number (no source) but add citation, plus note request for assistance by Gov. Chamberlain. Done--Parkwells (talk) 00:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) "Each selected a black man to watch, privately threatening to shoot him if he raised a disturbance."
 * 11) "For a while, two separate state assemblies did business side by side on the floor of the State House (their Speakers shared the Speaker's desk, but each had his own gavel), until the Democrats moved to their own building."
 * 12) "After the promulgation of the Constitution of 1895, the usual black vote dropped from approximately 15,000 to under 5,000." Edit for data from source; add cite. Done--Parkwells (talk) 00:55, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) "In 1919, the invasion of the boll weevil destroyed the state's cotton crop. Despite its not having paid well since before the Civil War, cotton was still the state's primary crop." Reorganized - well-documented; this is not controversial, the boll weevil destroyed cotton throughout the south. Done--Parkwells (talk) 17:15, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Other issues:
 * 1) The lead needs to be consolidated considerably to four paragraphs at most, just briefly mention the contents of the article as the information will be repeated the article itself. This is interesting to see such a long lead, usually I have to request that people expand the lead. (UPDATE: User:Parkwells said he would revise the lede, in response at South Carolina wikiproject talk page.)
 * 2) Before the "Colonial period" section, there should be mention about the indigenous people that were living there at 13,000 BC as mentioned in the lead.
 * 3) "When the plantation owners, many of whom had already gone off with the Confederate Army, fled the area, the Sea Island slaves became the first "freedmen" of the war." I'm not positive on this, but should "freedmen" be two words? If so, please correct it.
 * "Freedmen" was one word, as in Freedmen's Bureau.--Parkwells (talk) 21:10, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, thanks for clarifying. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 06:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) "Together with persistent racial segregation, underfunding of public education and limited opportunities, the failure of cotton led thousands of both black and white laborers to migrate to northern cities to seek better jobs and lives." "The expansion of military bases during and after WWII, followed by domestic and foreign investment in manufacturing, have helped revitalized the state." See if these two sentences could be better expanded, possibly with more information between the movement and WWII (WWI is skipped).

This article is well-written and if the inline citations and lead is addressed, I believe the article can remain a GA. I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. I will leave messages on the talk pages of the main contributors to the article along with related WikiProjects/task forces so that the workload can be shared. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 22:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Is anyone planning on completing the changes? If not, I will unfortunately have to delist it. I will check back in a few more days to see if there is any additional progress. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 09:47, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I happen agree that in-line citations are better, but seems harsh to impose a 7 day requirement that a well-sourced article change over rapidly from a general sourcing style that was acceptable in the past to an in-line sourcing style. That is a lot of work, and the sources in the article are not readily available to editors who might make the changes.   doncram (talk) 19:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Question: for the sources that are on-line, is there any automatic tool available that could cross-check a given source vs. this article?  I mean something that would run a "diff" to find any word sequences that appear in both, to facilitate identifying where specific inline citations/footnotes can be added.  I would be willing to do some cross-checking along those lines, which could address some of the 23 statements in question. doncram (talk) 19:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I myself have some wikilinks and new sources to add to the article, from active work-in-progress articles on National Historic Landmarks in the state, indexed at List of National Historic Landmarks in South Carolina. I don't know whether i have sources that address any of those 23 questioned statements specifically, but I will be adding to this article. doncram (talk) 19:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The seven day deadline was a period for me to determine if anybody was going to contribute to the article and address the issues. I always contact the main contributors of the article and the related WikiProjects to get more people to assist in the workload. Usually if progress is being made, I will extend the deadline until the work is completed. However, in several cases, I will post the message with deadline and no corrections will be made. Since it appears that there are several editors who are interested in helping the article maintain its GA quality, I have no problem extending the deadline to however long it takes. The article is well-written, but since the guidelines have changed since late 2005 when the article passed as a GA, there are inevitably going to be some changes that need to be made. By the way, if you find a bot that is able to check sources like you mentioned, I would be interested in hearing about it. If you have any questions, let me know, and I'll be happy to answer them. Good job with addressing several of the issues so far. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 20:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for ur reply, Nehrams2020. In ur most recent edit comment, u say something like "You're making good progress", perhaps generically.  All credit to Parkwells for progress however.  I did make perhaps just one edit to the article but do not generally find the National Historic Landmark material that I have command of to be that helpful.  Parkwells, I am glad you are responding and striking out these issues as you deal with them!  sincerely, doncram (talk) 08:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Progress looks like it is still going pretty well. Please continue to address the issues. I'd recommend starting with the lead first since that is one of the largest issues I had with the article. If you address the issues concerning the mention about the BC history and the World Wars history, I'll pass the article for now and you can continue to add the sources for the other statements later. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the encouragement. I will tackle the lead next - it needs a complete rewrite and I chose to work on the sources/cites first. Will also address other issues you raised. Needed a break from SC as I was also working on other stuff.--Parkwells (talk) 14:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, you've done an excellent job so far. The lead shouldn't be too hard to reduce in size. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 18:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, I want to commend you guys on the work so far, but it is more than a month later and the other tasks still need to be completed. The main problems are still the large lead and the issues listed in the "other issues" section. If you address these, you can remove the statements that are lacking sources and move them to the talk page until a source can be found. Unless the stated issues can be addressed in this week, I'm unfortunately going to have to delist it. If this occurs, the article can always be renominated again after the issues are addressed, and it should pass easily. If you have any questions, please let me know. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:49, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Review: Delisted
I'm sorry I have to do this, but I'm delisting the article since the above issues were not all addressed. Again, good job so far on the work, and this article should definitely go back to GAN once the above issues are met. If you have any questions let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you when I'm available. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 05:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Label is incorrect on image The Compromise Tariff of 1833
It seems highly unlikely that this image of the Compromise Tariff was created by the National Park Service or its Historic American Buildings Survey, or included in an online LOC "Built in America" exhibit. There isn't any relation between those activities and the Compromise Tariff of 1833.

It's more likely that it was simply part of the Library of Congress records of Congressional legislation and its American exhibits. --Parkwells (talk) 16:39, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

 * The label is totally incorrect, but I don't know how to fix it. It comes from Statutes at Large - 22nd Congress, 2nd Session, p.629 of 818 (you can read the page number on the image) (Library of Congress, "A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation: U.S. Congressional Documents and Debates, 1774-1875accessed 7 Mar 2008)--Parkwells (talk) 16:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

The lead is much too long - it should be only three or four paragraphs.--Parkwells (talk) 18:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

1526
According to a piece in the '' Smithsonian" magazine, " In 1526, enslaved Africans were part of a Spanish expedition to establish an outpost on the North American coast in present-day South Carolina. Those Africans launched a rebellion in November of that year and effectively destroyed the Spanish settlers’ ability to sustain the settlement, which they abandoned a year later." https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/misguided-focus-1619-beginning-slavery-us-damages-our-understanding-american-history-180964873/ Shouldn't this be checked and included?

Talk:Economic profit

No. Profit is revenue less expenses and it is expressed regardless of how much capital is used to generate the profit. Economic Profit (despite the similar name) is completely different as it adjusts the profit by taking into account the capital utilized to generate it.

No. Economic profit is separate and distinct from the concept of accounting profit.

No. Economists and accountants see the world completely differently and that difference is vital.

Anse la Raye District

Anse la Raye District is one of 10 districts (formerly called quarters) of the island nation of St. Lucia in the Caribbean Sea. The name Anse la Raye is French for cover/bay of the rays, since there are a large number of skate fish or rays in the bay. In 2005/2010, the population of the district was 6,382/6,060 people, and they are mainly fishers and agricultural workers. The main town in the area takes the same name as the district and is located down the western coast from Castries, the capital of the country.

History
In French colonial times, Anse la Raye was the site of sugar plantation, according to a plaque in a park in the town of Anse la Raye erected in 2010. There were as many as 107 estates in Anse la Raye in 1775, according to church records. During the French Revolution, slaves were freed and the name of the town was changed to L'Egalite. Slave were freed and the plantations were burned. Most people abandoned the land and turned towards fishing as a livelihood. Banana and coconut oil production became more important in the mid-20th century, as well as boat building. The area is known for feather racing boats and canoe races. In the late 1990s, a Friday Fish Night became a popular diversion in the town of Anse la Raye.

Naujan Lake

Naujan Lake is a freshwater lake in the Philippines located in the northeastern corner of the province of Oriental Mindoro on Mindoro Island. The lake is the fifth largest in the country and the main geographical feature of the Naujan Lake National Park. The entire area is a Ramsar Wetland Site since 1999.

Geography
The lake is bounded by the towns of Naujan to the north and northeast, Victoria to the west, Socorro to the south and southeast, and Pola to the east. The lake is also bounded by the Naujan Mountains to the north and east of the lake.

Mount Naujan, elevation 1380 ft and one of the inactive volcanoes of the country, is situated northeast of the geographic center of the lake. Several thermal springs and solfataras are reported to exist on the eastern border of the Naujan Lake.

Hydrology
The lakes watershed covers about 30000 ha. The lake is fed by the Macatoc, Borbocolon, Malayas, Malabo, Maambog, Malbog and Cusay Creek from the east; by Bambang, Tigbao and Tagbakin Creek from the west; and by Subaan and Singulan River from the south. The lake has only one outlet, the Butas River, which flow north then heads east after the Lumangbayan River joins the river and empties to Tablas Strait at Barangay Lumang-bayan, Naujan.

National Park
The lake, approximately 8125 ha in area, is the main feature of the protected area classified as a national park known as the Naujan Lake National Park (NLNP). The lake and adjoining areas totaling 21655 ha was declared a national park on March 27, 1956 through Proclamation No. 282 by President Ramon Magsaysay.

NLNP covers twenty-four (24) barangays under the jurisdiction of four municipalities, namely:
 * 1) Naujan – Brgys. Bayani, Laguna, Montelago and Dao
 * 2) Pola – Brgys. Matula-tula, Tagbakin and Casiligan
 * 3) Socorro – Brgys. Lapog, Mabuhay I, Mabuhay II, Batongdalig, Pasi I, Pasi II, Happy Valley and Subaan
 * 4) Victoria – Brgys. Merit, Daungan, Bambanin, Pakyas, Leido, Malabo, Urdaneta, San Narciso and Canaan

The Park has existing facilities for tourism and recreational activities which include picnic tables and a house/quarters located at Minglit Point. A guard house is located at Brgy. Malabo in Victoria town and a watch tower is located at CENRO in Pasi, Socorro. The park caters for recreational activities such as boating, picnics, bird watching, educational tour and scientific research. Also, the park is considered the widest breeding place of marsh birds and has a quarterly Biodiversity Monitoring System (BMS) which includes bird counting.

Harrison Tweed

Harrison Tweed (October 18, 1885 – June 16, 1969) was an American lawyer and civic leader.

Life and career
Tweed was born in New York City on October 18, 1885. He was the son of Charles Harrison Tweed, the general counsel for the Central Pacific Railroad, Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, and other affiliated railroad corporations, and his wife, (Helen) Minerva Evarts. His maternal grandfather was William M. Evarts, who served successively from 1868 to 1891 as United States Attorney General, United States Secretary of State, and United States Senator from New York, and was one of the leaders of the American Bar Association. His maternal great, great, great grandfather was Paul Dudley Sargent Revolutionary war hero, one of the founding overseers of Bowdoin College. Tweed graduated from St. Mark's School in Southborough, Massachusetts, and received a B.A. from Harvard College in 1907. At Harvard Law School, he served on the law review and was awarded an LL.B. in 1910.

His career at the bar began with a clerkship in the office of Byrne and Cutcheon in New York City. After service as a captain in World War I, he joined one of the predecessor firms to Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, where he remained as a partner the remainder of his life. Milbank, Tweed was the outside legal arm of Chase Manhattan Bank and the Rockefeller family. Tweed specialized in drafting wills and trust agreements, for the administering of major estates. He wrote briefs in litigation arising out of them and argued, and won, several notable appeals in the New York courts and the United States Supreme Court. Because he was born partially deaf, he never tried a case. In conferences with other lawyers he usually spoke last, and his views generally became the group's consensus. Imitating Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, he had no desk in his office, instead writing at a lectern.

Tweed's appointment as chairman of the legal aid committee of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York in 1932, led to a continuing involvement in bar organizations. He became an enthusiastic convert to the necessity of providing competent legal services to all people. Legal aid, he wrote, was "operation equal justice," "an obligation of the bar," and essential to secure the success of the adversary system. He served as president of the Legal Aid Society of New York from 1936 to 1945, later publishing a history of its first seventy-five years, and of the National Legal Aid & Defender Association from 1949 to 1955.

In 1945, Tweed was elected president of the New York City bar association. To rejuvenate the staid organization, he brought in younger lawyers, established a bulletin, reorganized committees that issued reports, and created the position of executive secretary. All of this was done in a spirit of openness, equality, informality, and fun (a recurring word with Tweed). In this way, Tweed transformed a stuffy club into a strong progressive force for public service. C. C. Burlingham, the doyen of the New York bar, said that Tweed was "the best president the Bar Association has ever had."

In 1947, Tweed became president of the American Law Institute (ALI). He was a guiding force in its major labors—the updating of the institute's published Restatements, as well as the preparation of the Uniform Commercial Code, model codes and statutes on penal law and taxation, and the first restatement on the foreign-relations law of the United States. He took a light, subtle approach, usually talking around the matter at hand so as to envelop the object of his attention; only occasionally did he take a direct part in the proceedings over which he smoothly presided.

Starting in 1947, Tweed was chairman of the ALI - American Bar Association (ABA) joint committee on continuing legal education. Refreshment of the law, Tweed believed, was a professional responsibility. He wrote articles, spoke to lawyers' groups, buttonholed bar leaders, and organized conferences. For many years, a colleague noted, he "was the committee." The number of administrators of state continuing-legal-education programs increased markedly during his tenure.

Educational matters and public service occupied much of Tweed's time. He served as a trustee of Sarah Lawrence College from 1940 to 1965, including eight years as chairman of the board of trustees (1947 to 1955), and was interim president of the college in 1959-1960. In his term as interim president, he is credited with saving the college from bankruptcy by increasing the number of students. He also served as an overseer of Harvard University from 1950 to 1956, and from 1951 to 1967 he was a trustee of the Cooper Union Center for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City.

New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey in 1953 appointed him chairman of the state’s commission to study the reorganization of the judicial branch (courts); many of its recommendations, including the formation of a new judicial conference of the state's judges, were later adopted by the state. In 1963, at the request of US President John F. Kennedy, Tweed became co-chairman of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a position that he held for two years.

Tweed believed that lawyers' training to define complicated issues enabled them to play a special role outside the practice of law: "Even if he contributes nothing more than a sense of orderliness and an ability to organize thought and to pose the right questions, the lawyer will have pulled his weight in the boat." Of his year as president of Sarah Lawrence College, he wrote, "I think that I did manage to bring to the faculty an organization and an understanding of democratic procedures which no one but a lawyer could have done."

Tall, erect, and lean, Tweed was "the most democratic of aristocrats."He was the only lawyer to be awarded medals for distinguished service from the New York City, New York State, and American bar associations. The ABA tribute noted that his was ''"the Horatio Alger story in reverse." "I have a high opinion of lawyers,"'' Tweed said in 1945. "With all their faults, they stack up well against those in every other occupation or profession. They are better to work with or play with or fight with or drink with than most other varieties of mankind." He died in New York City.

Family
Tweed was married three times and divorced twice. By his first marriage on June 14, 1914, to Eleanor Roelker, he had two children. Following his divorce in 1928, he married Blanche Oelrichs Barrymore, the former wife of John Barrymore who used the name Michael Strange in her acting and writing careers. They were divorced in 1942. He married Barbara Banning on 21 November 1942; they had one child.

His daughter (with Eleanor Roelker) Katharine Winthrop Tweed married Archibald Bulloch Roosevelt Jr. in 1940 and was divorced in 1950. She had one son, Tweed Roosevelt, born in 1942.

Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of the Beach Boys

Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of the Beach Boys is a greatest hits album of the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on June 10, 2003 by Capitol Records. The original collection was the most comprehensive single-disc compilation of the band's music, with 30 tracks including nearly every U.S. Top 40 hit of their career, except for "The Little Girl I Once Knew" (1965) and "It's OK" (1976).

On June 17, 2022, foreshadowing the band's 60th anniversary celebration, Capitol released an expanded three-disc edition of the compilation, including newly-remastered (and, in some cases, remixed) versions of the classic tracks.

Release and reissues
Before Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys, The Beach Boys had released compilations including Endless Summer (1974) and three Greatest Hits volumes: Volume 1: 20 Good Vibrations (1995), Volume 2: 20 More Good Vibrations (1999), and Volume Three: Best of the Brother Years 1970–1986 (2000). Sounds of Summer reached number 16 on the US charts (their highest peak since 15 Big Ones in 1976), and stayed for 104 weeks. Currently certified triple platinum, The Very Best of The Beach Boys: Sounds of Summer was re-issued with a DVD component in 2004 with the regular edition remaining available.

In 2007, a follow-up album, The Warmth of the Sun, was released which contains other songs that were not included on Sounds of Summer.

In 2011, Mike Love stated, "Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of The Beach Boys is fast approaching selling three million copies – if it's triple-platinum, which is, you know, pretty good. And by the time this 50th celebration is over, it'll probably be more than triple-platinum."

The album was re-released on February 7, 2012 as the Celebration Merch Set which featured the original CD along with a T-shirt celebrating the band's 50th anniversary.

2022 remix and remaster
A three-disc expanded edition of the compilation was released on June 17, 2022, as part of the band's 60th anniversary, and contains 50 additional (previously released) Beach Boys songs. The reissue was curated by Mark Linett and Alan Boyd.

The collection features 24 new mixes including two first-time stereo mixes, as well as 22 "new and improved" stereo mixes, based on a new digital stereo technology, allowing for a separation the original mono backing tracks for the first time. The new edition is available on three CDs or six vinyl records. All tracks from the original Sounds of Summer album were included in a new Dolby Atmos remix on the expanded Sounds of Summer.

In a perfect review for the reissue, Lee Zimmerman of American Songwriter said the effect of "leaving the listener breathless while experiencing ... seamless harmonies" was intensified by the "new stereo mix and the addition of lesser-known tracks", concluding that the collection could "never be bested." While Gillian G. Gaar of Goldmine did lament how a major expansion "undercuts Sounds of Summer’s original concept", she praised the new mixes, complementing the newfound freshness and clarity of the handclaps in "I Get Around" and the tambourine in "Help Me Rhonda" in particular. Gaar gave the reissue a score of four out of five stars.

The WTC Marriot damages

 * The Marriott hotel(WTC 3)was actually partially collapsed on 9/11/2011. Sadly, most people think that the debris had destroyed all of the building. Actually, it seems that a corner of the first three floors had survived with major damage to the windows, interior, frame, and exterior. It was later taken out in March, 2002 to make way for memorial service.--JMWpedia (talk) 02:16, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Demerge back from page Three World Trade Center
These pages were merged without discussion or stated reason a few years back (2011), to my bewilderment. The building would seem to be notable, not just the address/plot of land it was on; further, the infobox was deleted during the merge. The content would come from the section placed on Three World Trade Center, which is substantively unchanged from the merge.

Bold significant alternative titles
@MONGO MOS:BOLDSYN says "significant alternative titles (which should usually also redirect to the article) are placed in bold". The Marriott World Trade Center was known under all names that I mention: World Trade Center 3 (WTC 3 or 3 WTC), the World Trade Center Hotel, the Vista International Hotel, Vista Hotel and the Marriott Hotel, and I provided references for these names. Some of these indeed redirect to this page, while others redirect to its successor, Three World Trade Center at 175 Greenwich Street. Following the rule as outlined in the Manual of Style, all these names should be in bold. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:48, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Those aren't significant titles...they are all redirects to this page anyway, except one.--MONGO (talk) 19:48, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * How have you determined those 'aren't significant titles'? All of the names mentioned are based on a reliable source saying these were/are all commonly used names for this building. "Vista International Hotel" was its official name from 1981 until 1995, and "Vista Hotel" is an obvious abbreviation of that; at the very least these should be in bold.

Woody Strode

Woodrow Wilson Woolwine Strode (July 25, 1914 – December 31, 1994) was an American athlete, actor, and author. He was a decathlete and football star who was one of the first Black American players in the National Football League (NFL) in the postwar era. After football, he went on to become a film actor, where he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Spartacus in 1960. Strode also served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II.

Early life and athletic career
Strode was born in Los Angeles. His parents were from New Orleans; his grandmother was of African-American and Cherokee descent, his grandfather was an African-American and his grandmother was of Cree descent.

He attended Thomas Jefferson High School in South East Los Angeles and college at UCLA, where he was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. His world-class decathlon capabilities were spearheaded by a 50 ft plus shot put (when the world record was 57 ft) and a 6ft 5in high jump (the world record at time was 6ft 10in).

"I got a cultural education—majored in history and education," he said in a 1971 interview. "Never used it, but I could walk into the White House with it now."

Strode posed for a nude portrait, part of Hubert Stowitts's acclaimed exhibition of athletic portraits shown at the 1936 Berlin Olympics (although the inclusion of black and Jewish athletes caused the Nazis to close the exhibit).

College career
Strode, Kenny Washington, and Jackie Robinson starred on the undefeated 1939 UCLA Bruins football team, in which they made up three of the four backfield players. They became famous nationally as "the Gold Dust gang".

Along with Ray Bartlett, there were four Black Americans playing for the Bruins, when only a few dozen at all played on other college football teams. They played eventual conference and Helms national champion USC to a scoreless tie with those championships and 1940 Rose Bowl on the line. It was the first UCLA–USC rivalry football game with national implications.

Early acting appearances
Strode made his first film appearance in Sundown (1941), playing a native policeman. He had a small role in Star Spangled Rhythm (1942), as a chauffeur of Rochester (Edward Anderson), and could be glimpsed in No Time for Love (1943).

Professional football career
When World War II broke out, Strode was playing for the Hollywood Bears in the Pacific Coast Professional Football League. He was drafted at age 27 and soon joined the United States Army Air Corps and spent the war unloading bombs in Guam and the Marianas, as well as playing on the Army football team at March Field in Riverside, California.

After the war, he worked at serving subpoenas and escorting prisoners for the L.A. County District Attorney's Office. Strode and Kenny Washington were two of the first African Americans to play in major college programs and later the modern National Football League (along with Marion Motley and Bill Willis, who signed with the contemporary rival All-America Football Conference), playing for the Los Angeles Rams in 1946. No black men had played in the NFL from 1933 to 1946. UCLA teammate Jackie Robinson would go on to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball (in fact, Robinson, Strode, and Washington had all played in the semi-professional Pacific Coast Professional Football League earlier in the decade).

Around the year 1939, Strode, Washington and Robinson provided the UCLA with one of its best seasons in American Football. This had given the three a boost in fame, with fans referring to them as "The Gold Dust Gang". Woody Strode was one of the end position players while Kenny was a running back. Unable to join professional football at the time, the two participated as semi-professional players for the Hollywood Bears.

When out on the road with the team, Strode had his first experience with racism, something he wasn't aware of growing up in Los Angeles. "We were unconscious of color. We used to sit in the best seats at the Coconut Grove (a nightclub in the Ambassador Hotel) listening to Donald Novis sing. If someone said, 'there's a Negro over there,' I was just as apt as anyone to turn around and say 'Where? He also said, "On the Pacific Coast there wasn't anything we couldn't do. As we got out of the L.A. area we found these racial tensions. Hell, we thought we were white." One instance where he became the victim of a racial barrier was when the National Football League acted in response to Caucasian players complaining about African Americans taking up job opportunities.

In 1948, he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers of the AAFC, but was released before the season started, whereupon he joined the Calgary Stampeders of the Western Interprovincial Football Union in Canada, where he was a member of Calgary's 1948 Grey Cup Championship team before retiring due to injury in 1949. He broke two ribs and a shoulder. "It was like I had fought Joe Louis," he recalled.

Professional wrestling career
In 1941, Strode had dabbled for several months in professional wrestling. Following the end of his football career in 1949, he returned to wrestling part-time between acting jobs until 1962, wrestling the likes of Gorgeous George.

In 1952, Strode wrestled almost every week from August 12, 1952, to December 10, 1952, in different cities in California. He was billed as the Pacific Coast Heavyweight Wrestling Champion and the Pacific Coast Negro Heavyweight Wrestling Champion in 1962. He later teamed up with both Bobo Brazil and Bearcat Wright.

Acting career
Strode's acting career was re-activated when producer Walter Mirisch spotted him wrestling and cast him as an African warrior in The Lion Hunters (1951), one of the Bomba the Jungle Boy series. They wanted him to shave his head. He was reluctant until they offered him $500 a week. "I said, 'All right, where are the pluckers? Then Strode realised: "I was out in the world market with a bald head. Trapped for life. Finally, it became way of life." He had roles in Bride of the Gorilla (1951), African Treasure (1951) (another Bomba film), an episode of Dangerous Assignment (1952), Caribbean (1952), and Androcles and the Lion (1952), playing the lion, "the toughest job I ever had," he said later.

Strode was in City Beneath the Sea (1953) with Robert Ryan and Anthony Quinn, directed by Budd Boetticher, and The Royal African Rifles. Additionally, he appeared in several episodes of the 1952–1954 television series Ramar of the Jungle, where he portrayed an African warrior. Strode was a gladiator in Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954) and was in Jungle Man-Eaters (1954), a Jungle Jim film. He could be seen in The Gambler from Natchez (1954), Jungle Gents (1954) a Bowery Boys movie set in Africa, and The Silver Chalice (1954). He was in a TV adaptation of Mandrake the Magician (1954), a pilot for a series not picked up, and had small parts in Son of Sinbad (1955), Soldiers of Fortune (1955), and Buruuba (1956) a Japanese film set in Africa. He appeared once on Johnny Weissmuller's 1955–1956 syndicated television series Jungle Jim and was in an episode of Private Secretary.

Cecil B. DeMille cast him in The Ten Commandments (1956) as a slave at $500 a week for five weeks. They were unable to find anyone to play the Ethiopian king so Strode was given that role too.

He had a support role in Tarzan's Fight for Life (1958) and a small part in The Buccaneer (1958). In 1959 he portrayed the conflicted, some would say cowardly, Private Franklin in Pork Chop Hill, which brought him critical acclaim. He called it "the first dramatic thing that I had done." He guest starred on The Man from Blackhawk (1960).

Rising fame
Strode was next cast in Spartacus (1960) as the Ethiopian gladiator Draba, in which he has to fight Spartacus (played by Kirk Douglas) to the death. Draba wins the contest, but instead of killing Spartacus, he attacks the Roman military commander who paid for the fight. He is killed and his death sparks a gladiator rebellion.

Strode had an excellent support part in The Last Voyage (1960) playing a heroic stoker, though he was only billed fifth.

While making Pork Chop Hill he became a close friend of director John Ford. Ford gave Strode the title role in Sergeant Rutledge (1960) as a member of the Ninth Cavalry, who is greatly admired by the other black soldiers in the unit and is falsely accused of the rape and murder of a white woman.

"The big studios wanted an actor like Sidney [Poitier] or [Harry] Belafonte," recalled Strode. "And this is not being facetious, but Mr. Ford defended me; and I don't know that this is going on. He said, "Well, they're not tough enough to do what I want Sergeant Rutledge to be."

"That was a classic," he later said. "It had dignity. John Ford put classic words in my mouth... You never seen a Negro come off a mountain like John Wayne before. I had the greatest Glory Hallelujah ride across the Pecos River that any black man ever had on the screen. And I did it myself. I carried the whole black race across that river."

Strode had difficulty maintaining the momentum of these roles. He was in The Sins of Rachel Cade (1961) and guest starred twice on Rawhide, playing an Australian aboriginal in one episode and a buffalo soldier in the other. Ford used him again in Two Rode Together (1962) but it was only a small part, as an Indian. He had a bigger role in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) for Ford, playing Pompey, John Wayne's hired hand. In the film, Strode's character recites the Declaration of Independence but apologizes for forgetting the phrase "all men are created equal", a poignant line for the 1962 audience. Pompey/Strode physically carries and thereby saves a drunken, suicidal John Wayne from his burning home.

In 1963, he was cast opposite Jock Mahoney's Tarzan as both the dying leader of an unnamed Asian country and that leader's unsavory brother, Khan, in Tarzan's Three Challenges. He guest starred on The Lieutenant, The Farmer's Daughter and Daniel Boone and had roles in the features Genghis Khan (1965) and 7 Women (1966), the latter the last film he made for Ford. Strode was very close to the director. "He treated me like a son," said Strode. "I had a certain amount of crudeness that went back a hundred years, and that's what he liked."

During Ford's declining years Strode spent four months sleeping on the director's floor as his caregiver, and he was later present at Ford's death.

In the late 1960s, he appeared in several episodes of the Ron Ely Tarzan television series. Strode's other television work included a role as the Grand Mogul in the Batman episodes "Marsha, Queen of Diamonds" and "Marsha's Scheme of Diamonds".

Strode landed a major starring role as an expert archer and soldier of fortune in the 1966 Western The Professionals. His name was the only one of the four "professionals" which was left off the movie poster; nevertheless, the film was a major box-office success establishing him as a recognizable star.

In 1967, he attempted to produce his own film, The Story of the Tenth Cavalry, but it was not made.

He based himself in Europe from 1968 to 1971.

His 1968 starring role as a thinly-disguised Patrice Lumumba in Seduto alla sua destra (released in the U.S. as  Black Jesus) garnered Strode a great deal of press at the time, but the film is largely forgotten now. He was an Indian in Shalako (1968) and played a gunslinger in the opening sequence of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). He decided to stay in Europe. "I had five pairs of blue jeans, I was lonely, and I didn't speak the language," he said. "But the producers answered, 'Not necessary. You ride horses.

Strode was in Che! (1969) and supported Terence Hill and Bud Spencer in Boot Hill (1969) shot in Italy. He stayed in Europe to make another Western The Unholy Four (1970) and went back to Hollywood to do a TV movie Breakout (1970) and two Westerns The Deserter (also known as "The Devil's Backbone") (1971), and The Gatling Gun (1971). The scripts for these were variable but Strode later said "Me, I didn't care. If the money was right, I'd play Mickey Mouse.”

Strode went to Europe to make Scipio the African (1971) and did some more Westerns: The Last Rebel (1971), and The Revengers (1972) (a "regular knockdown, drag‐out western", said Strode ). He later said his salary in Italy went up to $10,000 a week. He did The Italian Connection (1972), for which he was paid $150,000. "Race is not a factor in the world market," he said in 1981. "I once played a part written for an Irish prize fighter. I've done everything but play an Anglo-Saxon. I'd do that if I could. I'd play a Viking with blue contact lenses and a blond wig if I could. My dream is to play a Mexican bandit in the international market."

He also appeared in Key West (1973), Loaded Guns (1975), The Manhunter (1975), We Are No Angels (1975), Winterhawk (1975), Keoma (1976), episodes of The Quest (1976) and How the West Was Won (1977), Oil (1977), Martinelli, Outside Man (1977), Kingdom of the Spiders (1977), Cowboy-San! (1978), Ravagers (1979), Jaguar Lives! (1979), and an episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979).

Later career
Strode's later appearances included Cuba Crossing (1980),The Dukes of Hazzard  (1980), Scream (1981), Fantasy Island (1981), Vigilante (1982), Invaders of the Lost Gold (1982), Angkor: Cambodia Express (1983), The Black Stallion Returns (1983), The Violent Breed (1984), Jungle Warriors (1984), The Cotton Club (1984), The Final Executioner (1984), Lust in the Dust (1985), On Fire (1987), and A Gathering of Old Men (1987). He was in Storyville (1992), and Posse (1992), working with director Mario Van Peebles. His last film was The Quick and the Dead (1995), which starred Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Russell Crowe. The closing credits dedicate the film to Strode, who died shortly before its release.

In 1980, Strode was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame. In 2021, he was inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.

Personal life and death
His first wife was Princess Luukialuana Kalaeloa (a.k.a. Luana Strode), a distant relative of Liliuokalani, the last queen of Hawaii. "You'd have thought I was marrying Lana Turner, the way the whites in Hollywood acted," he later said.

With her he had two children: a son, television director Kalai (a.k.a. Kalaeloa, 1946–2014), and a daughter, June. They were married until her death in 1980 from Parkinson's disease. In 1982, at the age of 68, he wed 35-year-old Tina Tompson and they remained married until his death from lung cancer on December 31, 1994, in Glendora, California, aged 80. He is buried at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California.

Strode was a dedicated martial artist under the direction of Frank Landers in the art of Seishindo Kenpo.
