Fort St. John Airport

Fort St. John Airport, North Peace Regional Airport, or North Peace Airport, is located at Fort St. John, British Columbia, Canada. The airport is operated by North Peace Airport Services Ltd (a subsidiary of Vantage Airport Group). A new record of 257,295 passengers came through the airport in 2015, up from the 252,729 passengers seen in 2014.

In 2013, WestJet Encore announced regular scheduled service to Calgary and Vancouver, representing a major expansion of airline service to the Fort St. John market. Scheduled service to Vancouver is also provided by Air Canada Express.

Runways
Fort St. John Airport currently has two runways. Runway 12/30 is a 6909 by paved runway, while runway 03/21 is a 6,698 by paved runway.

History
In approximately 1942 the aerodrome was listed as RCAF & D of T Aerodrome - Fort St. John, British Columbia at 56.23333°N, -120.73333°W with a variation of 31 degrees east and elevation of 2400 ft. The aerodrome was listed as "Under Construction - Servicable" with four runways listed as follows:

Historical airline service
Commencing in the early 1940s, Canadian Pacific Air Lines and its successors CP Air and Canadian Airlines International operated scheduled passenger service to Vancouver, British Columbia; Edmonton, Alberta; Prince George, British Columbia; Whitehorse, Yukon; Fort Nelson, British Columbia; Grande Prairie, Alberta and Watson Lake, Yukon. CP Air served the airport with Boeing 737-200 jetliners during the 1970s with direct, no change of plane flights to all of the above destinations. Other Canadian Pacific flights into the airport over the years were operated with such twin engine prop aircraft as the Lockheed Lodestar, the Douglas DC-3 and the Convair 240 as well as with the larger, four engine Douglas DC-6B propliner and Bristol Britannia turboprop. In 1994, Canadian Partner code sharing service on behalf of Canadian Airlines International was being operated with de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8 turboprops and/or Fokker F28 Fellowship jets to the airport from Vancouver, Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Fort Nelson.

George Sphrantzes

George Sphrantzes, also Phrantzes or Phrantza (Γεώργιος Σφραντζῆς or Φραντζῆς; 30 August 1401 – c. 1478), was a late Byzantine Greek historian and Imperial courtier. He was an attendant to Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, protovestiarites ("Lord of the Imperial Wardrobe") under John VIII Palaiologos, and a close confidant to Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Byzantine emperor. He was an eyewitness of the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, made a slave by the victorious Ottomans, but ransomed shortly afterwards. Sphrantzes served the surviving members of the Palaiologian family for the next several years until taking monastic vows in 1472. It was while a monk he wrote his history, which ends with the notice of Sultan Mehmed II's attempt to capture Naupaktos, which he dates to the summer of 1477; Sphrantzes is assumed to have died not long after that event.

Life
George was born in Constantinople on 30 August 1401, during the second Ottoman blockade of the city; his godmother was the nun Thomais. In 1418 he was appointed attendant to Emperor Manuel. During his service to the Emperor Manuel, Sphrantzes did many favors for Constantine, developing a strong rapport with the future Emperor for, as he writes, "my uncle had been his tutor and my cousins and I were his companions, friends, and attendants." After the death of Manuel, he became the servant of Constantine and left with him 26 December 1427 when Constantine was appointed Despot of the Morea.

When they arrived in the Morea, Constantine made him governor of Glarentza, and Sphrantzes assisted Constantine in the latter's efforts to conquer the remainder of the Morea, but was captured 26 March 1429 in a skirmish outside of Patras and held prisoner until his relationship to Constantine was recognized, and he was paroled back to the Byzantine side to negotiate surrender of the citadel. While traveling to Epirus as an ambassador, to help arbitrate a peace between Carlo II Tocco and his uncle's illegitimate sons over the succession to rule over Epirus, he was kidnapped by Catalan pirates, along with his retinue, and held at Cephalonia until the pirates took the group back to Glarentza where they were ransomed. Upon returning to Constantinople, he was made protovestiarites and appointed ambassador by the Emperor.

After this point, Sphrantzes was a key supporter of Constantine. He attempted to secure Athens for his master in 1435; he negotiated Constantine's second marriage with Caterina Gattilusio in 1440; he was appointed prefect of Mistras in 1446; and most importantly he was sent on an embassy to Georgia and the Empire of Trebizond in search of a third wife for Emperor Constantine. During these duties he married Helena, the daughter of the imperial secretary Alexios Palaiologos Tzamplakon, and the Emperor Constantine was his best man. He was preparing to take his son John (and the larger part of his portable wealth) to the Morea, then to Cyprus, traveling by land "so that my son could visit the places and learn all those things which would be of use in his life" when the Ottoman sultan Mehmed II began his siege of Constantinople.

Despite being involved in the defense of the city, George Sphrantzes' account of the siege and capture of Constantinople in 1453 lacks much detail. About the death of Emperor Constantine, he writes simply, "in this capture my late master and emperor, Lord Constantine, was killed. I was not at his side at that hour but had been inspecting another part of the City, according to his orders." Sphrantzes was captured and made a slave, but was ransomed 1 September 1453 then made his way to Mistras. There he obtained protection at the court of Thomas Palaiologos, despot of the Morea. He managed to go to Adrianople in 1454, ransom his wife, and return to the Morea, while evading the Sultan Mehmed. He served as an ambassador to Venice on behalf of Thomas Palaiologos in 1455. After the fall of the Peloponnesus in 1460, Sphrantzes retired to the monastery of Tarchaneiotes in Corfu.

Family
By Helena, he had five children, of whom two sons died in infancy, a third son Alexios died at the age of 5, while John and his only daughter Thamar lived to adulthood; the Emperor Constantine was godfather to both John and Thamar. Following the capture of Constantinople both children had become slaves of some elderly Turks, along with his wife Helena, and then were sold to the Sultan's Mir Ahor, or Master of Horse. However, before Sphrantzes could ransom them from the Mir Ahor, the Sultan learned of them and bought them. "Thus their wretched mother was left all alone in the company of a single nurse," Sphrantzes writes. Sphrantzes records he learned of his son's death, at the age of 14 years and a day short of eight months, on December 1453. Much later did Sphrantzes learn of his daughter Thamar's death in the Ottoman Imperial Harem in September 1455, aged 14 years and five months.

Works
At the monastery he wrote his Chronicle (Χρονικόν), which details the history of the House of the Palaiologoi from 1401 to 1476. It is a very valuable authority for the events of his own times. The distinctive traits of his work are loyalty to the Palaiologoi -- Sphrantzes often exaggerated their merits and suppressed their defects -- hatred of the Turks, and devotion to Eastern Orthodoxy. Steven Runciman described his work as "honest, vivid and convincing" and that Sphrantzes "wrote good Greek in an easy unpretentious style."

There are editions by I. Bekker (1838) in the Corpus Scriptorum Historiae Byzantinae vol. 39, and in J. P. Migne, Patrologia Graeca vol. 156. The most recent critical edition of Sphrantzes is by Vasile Grecu (Bucharest, 1966), which appeared with a Romanian translation. Sphrantzes was also translated into German in 1954, and into English by Marios Philippides (Amherst, 1980). There is an edition with Italian translation by R. Maisano, Rome 1990 (CFHB 29).

For centuries it was believed that Sphrantzes wrote two works, one the Minor Chronicle and the other the Major Chronicle. The Major Chronicle, which also includes the origins of the Palaiologoi, is more detailed particularly about the siege of Constantinople. But, beginning in 1934, the research of such scholars as J.B. Falier-Papadopoulos, Franz Dölger, and Raymond-Joseph Loenertz demonstrated that the Major Chronicle was written decades later by Makarios Melissenos ("Pseudo-Sphrantzes"), a priest who fled to Naples from a Greek-Venetian island conquered by the Ottomans. Why Melissenos selected Sphrantzes to elaborate and expand upon is not clear.

In popular culture
Sphrantzes is portrayed in Rise of Empires: Ottoman, season 1, especially in the season finale.

Rhode Island Route 216

Route 216 is a numbered state highway running 8.1 mi in Rhode Island. Its southern terminus is at U.S. Route 1 (US 1) in Charlestown, and its northern terminus is at the Connecticut border where it continues as Connecticut Route 216.

Route description
Route 216 starts at an intersection with U.S. Route 1 (US 1) on the northern side of Quonochontaug Pond near Charlestown. From this intersection, Route 216 runs northward along Ross Hill Road through wooded terrain past the Shelter Harbor Golf Club. The highway crosses the Perry Healy Brook before Route 216 enters Westerly and follows Church Street northerly and northwesterly. In Bradford, Route 216 meets Route 91 (Bradford Road) and turns northward to run concurrently with Route 91 along and over the Pawcatuck River. On the north side of the river, the highway follows Alton–Bradford Road to the intersection with Ashaway Road. There, Route 216 turns westward and separates from Route 91 in Hopkinton. The highway runs through residential neighborhoods adjacent to the river until the intersection with Chase Hill Road where Route 216 turns northwesterly again.

In the community of Ashaway, Route 216 jogs southwesterly along Main Street for a block before turning back northwesterly along High Street. The highway meanders through the community and crosses the Ashaway River on High Street. At the Connecticut state line, the highway ends and becomes Connecticut Route 216.

Brockville Tunnel

The Brockville Railway Tunnel, also called the Brockville Tunnel, is a former railway tunnel located beneath the downtown of Brockville, Ontario, Canada. It is the first railway tunnel built in Canada; construction began in September 1854 and the first train passed through the tunnel on December 31, 1860. Since 2017 it has been opened to the public as a free seasonal tourist attraction.

The tunnel runs in a north/south direction from Water Street, for a distance of 527 m (1,730 ft). It passes underneath what is now Brockville City Hall, built in 1863–64 as the Victoria Hall. It was built by the Brockville and Ottawa Railway. The tunnel was designed to provide a rail link from the timber trade of the Ottawa Valley to the Brockville port facilities on the St. Lawrence River ship route.

The Brockville and Ottawa Railway, incorporated in 1853, ran from Brockville, through Smiths Falls, to Sand Point, near Arnprior, with a branch line from Smiths Falls to Perth. Its first B&OR train left Brockville on January 25, 1859, almost two years before finances permitted completion of the tunnel. The Brockville and Ottawa Railway amalgamated in 1878 with the Canada Central Railway, which was absorbed in 1881 by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR).

The rail line through the tunnel was later used by special height-shortened steam engines, and then diesel trains into the mid-1970s. The rails and ties were then sold and removed in the 1980s, and the railway tunnel was no longer used as it was built. In 1982, the tunnel was turned over to the City of Brockville by Marathon Realty, the real-estate wing of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

In 2016–17, the railway tunnel underwent a major interior rehabilitation to make it possible to travel safely through it on foot. Visitors can now walk from the south portal to the north portal, exiting at the north-end gorge and up a ramp to street level. Prior to the rehabilitation visitors were only able to enter at the south portal and walk a short distance underground.

The railway tunnel has received thousands of visitors since it opened completely on August 12, 2017. It now features a modern LED coloured light system, which is programmed in various ways, along with a recorded music track playing while one walks through.

Adjacent to the tunnel is a refurbished CPR caboose or van, that was donated in 1987 to the city by the Canadian Pacific Railway. A detailed plaque, in both English and French, describes the details and story of how cabooses were formerly part of every train. Today the caboose operates as an escape room experience.

Orthocarbonic acid

Orthocarbonic acid, carbon hydroxide, methanetetrol is the name given to a hypothetical compound with the chemical formula H4CO4 or C(OH)4. Its molecular structure consists of a single carbon atom bonded to four hydroxyl groups. It would be therefore a fourfold alcohol. In theory it could lose four protons to give the hypothetical oxocarbon anion orthocarbonate CO4(4-), and is therefore considered an oxoacid of carbon.

Orthocarbonic acid is highly unstable. Calculations show that it decomposes spontaneously into carbonic acid and water:
 * H4CO4 → H2CO3 + H2O

Orthocarbonic acid is one of the group of ortho acids that have the general structure of RC(OH)3. The term ortho acid is also used to refer to the most hydroxylated acid in a set of oxoacids.

Researchers predict that orthocarbonic acid is stable at high pressure; hence it may form in the interior of the ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune, where water and methane are common.

Orthocarbonate anions
By loss of one through four protons, orthocarbonic acid could yield four anions: H3CO4- (trihydrogen orthocarbonate), H2CO4(2-) (dihydrogen orthocarbonate), HCO4(3-) (hydrogen orthocarbonate), and CO4(4-) (orthocarbonate).

Numerous salts of fully deprotonated CO4(4-), such as Ca2CO4 (calcium orthocarbonate) or Sr2CO4 (strontium orthocarbonate), have been synthesized under high pressure conditions and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. Strontium orthocarbonate, Sr2CO4, is stable at atmospheric pressure. Orthocarbonate is tetrahedral in shape, and is isoelectronic to orthonitrate. The C-O distance is 1.41 Å. Sr3(CO4)O is an oxide orthocarbonate (tristrontium orthocarbonate oxide), also stable at atmospheric pressure.

Orthocarbonate esters
The tetravalent moiety CO4 is found in stable organic compounds; they are formally esters of orthocarbonic acid, and therefore are called orthocarbonates. For example, tetraethoxymethane can be prepared by the reaction between chloropicrin and sodium ethoxide in ethanol. Polyorthocarbonates are stable polymers that might have applications in absorbing organic solvents in waste treatment processes, or in dental restorative materials. The explosive trinitroethylorthocarbonate possesses an orthocarbonate core.

Keysight VEE is a graphical dataflow programming software development environment from Keysight Technologies for automated test, measurement, data analysis and reporting. VEE originally stood for Visual Engineering Environment and developed by HP designated as HP VEE; it has since been officially renamed to Keysight VEE. Keysight VEE has been widely used in various industries, serving the entire stage of a product lifecycle, from design, validation to manufacturing. It is optimized in instrument control and automation with test and measurement devices such as data acquisition instruments like digital voltmeters and oscilloscopes, and source devices like signal generators and programmable power supplies.

Release history
A detailed list of features for each version can be found under the References section.

Keysight VEE objects and pins
A VEE program consists of multiple connected VEE objects (sometimes called devices). Each VEE object consists of different types of pins, namely data pins, sequence pins, execute pins (XEQ), control pins and error pins. Data pins govern the data flow propagation while sequence pins determine object execution order.

The pins on the left side of an object are called input pins, whereas the pins on the right are output pins. Two objects, A and B, are connected if the output pin of object A is connected to object B's input pin. Several connection lines can emanate from a single output pin, but at most one connection line can be attached to an input pin. All data input pins and execute pins must be connected, whereas control pins and output pins can be left unconnected.

Data flow and data propagation
Keysight VEE is a dataflow programming language. Within a VEE program, there are multiple connections between objects and data flows through objects from left to right while sequence flows from top to bottom. An object's execution order is determined by object connections and the data dependency rule. In general, an object with unconnected data input and sequence input pin will operate first. If an object's sequence input pin is not connected, it will execute as soon as data is present on all data inputs. On the other hand, if a sequence input pin is connected, although data is present on all data input pins, the object will hold its execution until the sequence input pin is pinged. This may not be applicable to some non-primitive objects like the Junction and Collector objects. For example, if object A's sequence output pin is connected, it will fire only after object A has executed and no further execution is possible in the objects descended from the data output pins and error pin of object A. Some examples are taken from and can be referred to for further explanation.
 * When an object executes, it uses the input pin's value to perform an operation. When it finishes, the result is placed on the output pin. The output pin value placed is then propagated to any input pins that are connected to it.
 * A sequence pin is used to specify some object execution order. In most cases, sequence pins are left unconnected to allow data propagation to determine the execution order. If an object's sequence input pin is connected, the object will execute only if all data input pins and the sequence input pin have data.
 * When data is present on execute pins, it will force the object to operate and place results on its output pins, regardless of whether the data inputs have values.
 * A control pin is used to control the internal state of an object. It doesn't have effect on data propagation.
 * An error pin is used to trap errors when an object execute. If it is present, no error dialog will be shown. When an error occurs, the error pin propagates instead of data output pins, followed by the sequence output pin (if connected).

Instrument connectivity
Keysight VEE can connect and control a variety of Keysight and non-Keysight instrumentation via multiple interfaces. Keysight VEE supports the following interfaces:
 * GPIB, LAN, USB and RS-232
 * VXI and LXI plug and play drivers
 * IVI-COM drivers
 * PXI via NI-DAQmx
 * SCPI via the DirectIO object
 * Panel drivers

Extensive interoperability
Keysight VEE can interact with other programming languages using the built-in ActiveX Automation Server. Other software development programs such as Visual Basic, C/C++, Visual C# and all .NET compliant languages can call Keysight VEE UserFunctions. Keysight VEE is also integrated with Microsoft .NET Framework (Common Language Runtime and Framework Class Libraries) that provides a multitude of functions and controls that can be used to enhance a program such as adding email capability and accessing databases. Access to over 2500 MATLAB analysis and visualization functions is made possible with the built-in MATLAB Signal Processing Toolbox. The built-in Microsoft Excel library provides direct access to save, retrieve and generate reports in spreadsheets.

Keysight VEE GUI panels and runtime deployment
Keysight VEE is notable for its capability to deploy unlimited number of runtime programs with no time limitations at no extra cost. These runtime programs could contain a GUI panel and allows interaction with users, presumably operators to execute and control the program and the test execution.

I loved this dictionary at one point because it included everything. It was so informative. But now I feel differently. Deleting this word by discounting all the votes form people who aren't regulars is insane. And neologism ??? Okay, I'd like to refer everyone to the NEWFOUNDLAND DICTIONARY. I'm offended if you're call my culture meaningless because we made up words, because now those words are common place and part of our vocabulary. Anyway. I'm blocking this site from my browser, and from all the computers at work, and at school, probly any computer I get my hands on, its a terrible site, ran by a bunch of dictating power hungery regs.

Bude-Light

A Bude-Light was a very bright oil lamp (later, in its modified form, a gas lamp) invented by Sir Goldsworthy Gurney, patented by him on 8 June 1839 and named after Bude, Cornwall, where he lived.

Lighthouse experiments
As first developed, the light worked by introducing pure oxygen into the centre of an Argand burner. It was claimed to be a cheap way of producing a bright light: the unburned carbon in the oil flame burned incredibly brightly and an intense, white light was produced from the weak yellow flame of the oil lamp. In 1838, Gurney reported the results of his initial tests to Michael Faraday, who recommended the proposal to Trinity House for possible use in lighthouses. It was trialled on an experimental basis in Orford Low Lighthouse in 1839, where its flame was observed to be 2.5 times as powerful as a flame of the same size on a conventional oil lamp; its use in lighthouses was not pursued, however, due to high running costs.

Houses of Parliament
The chair of the parliamentary lighthouse committee, however, Joseph Hume, was involved in the reconstruction of the Palace of Westminster at the time and saw a potential opportunity for their use there. In May 1839, he presented his lamp to a select committee of the House of Commons; subsequently their use was trialled in the temporary Chamber of the House of Commons (at the time the Chamber was unsatisfactorily lit by large numbers of 15-inch candles, earlier experiments with both Argand lamps and gas lighting having thus far failed).

Gurney had claimed (and already demonstrated) that his Bude-Lamp would cost the same to manufacture as a similarly-sized Argand lamp, and yet would produce a light more than twice as powerful while burning a quarter as much oil. There were setbacks during the trials, however: it proved difficult to trim the wicks satisfactorily, without interrupting debates, and managing the flexible tubes which provided the oxygen feed further complicated this procedure. Moreover, obtaining pure oxygen (which Gurney had sought to source from Manganese being mined in Devon and Cornwall) proved to be less straightforward and much more expensive than first thought.

He therefore began to modify his design, convinced that, by doing so, he would be able to create an 'Atmospheric' Bude-Lamp: by substituting air for oxygen with little detrimental effect. To eliminate the need for maintaining a wick, he explored using coal gas in place of oil. He purified the gas, and impregnated it with vapours of naphtha, turpentine and India rubber; this was then fed through a set of concentric burners designed 'to communicate by conduction and radiation sufficient heat to raise the temperature of the gas to a given point, so as to effect the separation of its charcoal immediately on its leaving the burner, and then […] to bring fresh atmospheric air to the proper points of the flame'. The chemical changes brought about by this precision mechanical arrangement achieved 'an effulgence adequate to every purpose of internal and external illumination'. Self-regulating Atmospheric Bude-Lamps (enclosed in airtight glass containers, with eduction tubes to remove the fumes and heat) were soon successfully installed in the temporary Commons chamber (and operated 'at a cost of only twelve shillings per night, whereas that of the candles previously used there amounted to six pounds eleven shillings per night'); and indeed their use was promptly extended to the parliamentary libraries, lobbies and one of the committee rooms. Gurney went on to market the lamps for use in churches, public buildings, private residences and shops.

Despite his pioneering work in Parliament, however, responsibility for lighting the rebuilt Palace of Westminster was instead divided (for an experimental period) between arch-rivals Sir Charles Barry and Dr David Reid; both their systems proved unsatisfactory, however, and in 1853 Gurney's system was installed. Its effectiveness was proved, to the satisfaction of both the Lords and the Commons, and the following year Gurney was placed in sole charge, not only of the lighting but also of heating and ventilating the entire building. His Bude-Light system stayed in use in the Houses of Parliament for over 50 years.

Trafalgar Square
Four Bude Lights, with octagonal glass lanterns, were installed in Trafalgar Square in London in around 1845. They were at some point converted to electricity, and are still in use. Two, across from the National Gallery, are on tall cast bronze columns, and two, in the south-west and south-east corners of the square, on short cast bronze columns on top of wider granite columns. They were made by Messrs. Stevens and Son, of the Darlington Works, Southwark, to designs by Charles Barry.

Commemoration
In the small seaside resort town of Bude a commemorative installation, also referred to as the Bude Light, was erected to mark the millennium and remember Sir Goldsworthy Gurney. Designed by Carole Vincent and Anthony Fanshawe, it is lit internally with fibre-optics and has a small seating area positioned around the light.

Orthosilicic acid

Orthosilicic acid is an inorganic compound with the formula Si(OH)4. Although rarely observed, it is the key compound of silica and silicates and the precursor to other silicic acids [H_{2x}SiO_{x+2}]_{n}. Silicic acids play important roles in biomineralization and technology. It is the parent acid of the orthosilicate anion.

Isolation
Typically orthosilicic acid is assumed to be a product of the hydrolysis of its esters, Si(OR)4, where R stands for organyl group, as is practiced in sol-gel syntheses. These conditions are however too vigorous to allow isolation of the parent acid.

Orthosilicic acid can be produced by Pd-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of tetrabenzoxysilicon:
 * Si(OCH2Ph)4 + 4 H2 → Si(OH)4 + 4 PhCH3

The acid was crystallized from a solution of dimethylacetamide and tetrabutylammonium chloride. As established by X-ray crystallography, the chloride anions interact with the acid via hydrogen bonds. Otherwise, the structure consists of the expected tetrahedral silicon center.

Reactions
Silicic acid readily condenses to give "higher" silicic acids including disilicic (pyrosilicic) and cyclo-tetrasilicic acid, (\sO\sSi(OH)2\s)4:
 * 2 Si(OH)4 → O(Si(OH)3)2 + H2O
 * 4 Si(OH)4 → (\sO\sSi(OH)2\s)4 + 4 H2O

These derivatives have also been characterized crystallographically.

Orthosilicic acid in plants
Silicon has been explored as a nutrient for plant growth, with silica comprising up to 10% of plant weight on a dry matter basis. Orthosilicic acid is of particular interest as it is thought to be the form in which plants uptake silicon from the soil, before being deposited as phytoliths throughout the plant, leading to research in the application of orthosilicic acid through foliar sprays to supplement plant growth. Studies have demonstrated that foliar application of stabilized orthosilicic acid can alleviate abiotic stressors such as drought, heavy metal toxicity,  and salinity, resulting in increased yields. Additionally, applications of orthosilicic acid have been demonstrated to reduce fungal infections and disease in plants, suggesting the possibility of using stabilized orthosilicic acid as an alternative or complement to existing disease control measures. The mechanisms by which orthosilicic acid alleviates abiotic stress and controls diseases is not well understood; current theories advanced include the activation of plant defense reactions and the precipitation of silica in the apoplast of the plant.

Oceanic silicic acid

Dissolved silica (DSi) is a term used in the field of oceanography to describe the form of water-soluble silica, which is assumed to be Si(OH)4 (orthosilicic acid) or its conjugate bases (orthosilicate anions) such as −O\sSi(OH)3 and (−O\s)2Si(OH)2. Theoretical computations indicate that the dissolution of silica in water proceeds through the formation of a SiO2*2H2O complex and then orthosilicic acid. The biogeochemical cycle of silica is regulated by the algae known as the diatoms. These algae polymerise the silicic acid to so-called biogenic silica, used to construct their cell walls (called frustules).

In the uppermost water column the surface ocean is undersaturated with respect to dissolved silica, except for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current south of 55°S.

The dissolved silica concentration increases with increasing water depth, and along the conveyor belt from the Atlantic over the Indian into the Pacific Ocean.

Wellington Dock

Wellington Dock was a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It was situated in the northern dock system in Kirkdale, connected to the Sandon Half Tide Dock to the west.

History
The dock was designed by Jesse Hartley opening in 1851.

Between 18 and 21 July 2008, larger vessels participating in the 2008 Tall Ships' Race were berthed here and at neighbouring Sandon Half Tide Dock.

In January 2012, Liverpool City Council gave United Utilities permission to expand its sewage treatment plant from the adjacent site of the former Sandon Dock into the site of Wellington Dock. Architectural features would be retained where possible but the dock itself ceased to exist.

Rose George

Rosemary George is a British journalist and author. She has explored topics such as refugees, sanitation and human waste, and human blood in her books.

Education
In 1992, George earned a First-Class Honours BA in Modern Languages from Somerville College, Oxford, followed by an MA in international politics in 1994 at the University of Pennsylvania, as a Thouron Scholar and Fulbright Fellow.

Career
In 1994, she embarked on her writing career as an intern at The Nation magazine in New York City. Subsequently, she assumed the roles of senior editor and writer at COLORS magazine, a bilingual publication published by the Benetton clothing company. It focused on "local cultures with global reach," which was distributed in eighty countries. The magazine was initially based in Rome, later relocating to Paris and then Venice.

In 1999, she moved to London to freelance. She has contributed her writing to publications including the Independent on Sunday, Arena, Financial Times, Daily Telegraph, Details, Bad Idea, and UnHerd. She also served as a war correspondent in Kosovo for Condé Nast Traveler magazine and notably attended Saddam Hussein's birthday party on two occasions. George wore a burqa, which she called a "hideous concept", provided by her translator.

Until 2010, she held the position of senior editor at large for Tank, a London-based quarterly magazine covering fashion, art, reportage, and culture.

She has written four non-fiction books:
 * A Life Removed (Penguin 2004), which explores the daily reality of refugees and displaced people in and from Liberia.''
 * The Big Necessity: the Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why it Matters (Metropolitan/Portobello 2008), which was described as the one of "best nonfiction books of the new millennium" by the New York Times.
 * Ninety Percent of Everything: Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry That Puts Clothes on Your Back, Gas in Your Car, and Food on Your Plate, which was released in August 2013. The UK title is Deep Sea and Foreign Going: Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry the Brings you 90% of Everything; it was also released August 2013. George lived for five weeks aboard a shipping container ship to research her book on the shipping industry, and a week patrolling for pirates on a Portuguese navy frigate.
 * Nine Pints: A Journey Through the Money, Medicine, and Mysteries of Blood (Metropolitan Books, 2018). Her book Nine Pints was chosen by Bill Gates as one of his "Five Books... Should Read This Summer" in 2019.

Gender critical opinions
George has been vocally critical of the transgender community. In September 2023, she signed an open letter from the organization Sex Matters urging UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to "lead the fightback" against what the organization characterized as attacks on gender critical individuals.

George ended a Substack post criticizing UK politicians Matt Hancock and Suella Braverman by writing:"And I wonder whether the current gender fluid trans nonsense and its accompanying violence and lack of debate is because being trans is something to cling to, and when you hold tight to something, you get violent in its defence. I’m not talking here about the men who have co-opted trans rights into the women-silencing misogyny that has captured so many institutions. They will get their reckoning, one day. I mean instead the young girls and young women, mostly, who cling to the new cult because it is accessible and makes a certain sense, and they are led willingly by adults who should know better into surgery and hormones that can wreck lives."George has characterized transgender women's access to public bathrooms as "letting intact men into women’s toilets", adding, "Yes, not all men. But yes, some men. Those some men who will take any chink in security to exploit it, to be a predator. George is against unisex public toilets. She said of transgender women as potential threats, George has referred to transwomen athletes as "mediocre men who pretend to be women" and has called their achievements "female records held by men". She has said only cisgender women should have access to hormone therapy, writing:"I wish that men who decide they’d like to pretend to be women did not need to use our precious HRT supplies to do that. I was told recently that HRT is being exchanged on a kind of black market by men experimenting with taking hormones. Experimenting? When these drugs are in some cases actually life-saving for menopausal women? How dare you."George criticized The Guardian for allowing a trans woman to take part in a blind date as part of a series without disclosing to her date that she was transgender. She has characterized the accusation of transphobia as one that's "constantly lobbed at anyone who thinks biology is binary or that women and girls are entitled to single sex changing rooms/sports categories/prisons/refuges etc. It's nothing to do with trans folk, but just the delightful new woman-silencing misogyny". George wrote that her 10-year-old niece reported she had classmates identifying as cats, adding, "She’s a level-headed youngster. So, not nonsense". George has attributed transgenderism among children to "social contagion".
 * Not all trans people are predators.
 * Hardly any trans people are predators.
 * But a predator can get a long way with his predation by pretending to be a trans woman. No better place to commit a crime than at sea; no better way to abuse women and girls probably with impunity than to be a man who notices how useful it is to pretend to be a woman. See, prisoners, often in for sexual assault, suddenly finding that they are women after all and being put in women’s prisons. Men in women’s refuges. Don’t get me started on men in women’s sports.

Attacks on individuals and organizations
In 2018, Twitter required George to remove posts deadnaming transgender woman Jessica Yaniv. George posted screenshots of these posts after removing them; Twitter has required her to remove those as well. In 2022, she signed a letter to the Society of Authors calling for the removal of its Board of Management Chair over a perceived "sideswipe at JK Rowling".

In December 2023, George retweeted a BBC post featuring trans Green Party candidate Melissa Poulton with the comment, "This is a man being a man in a mannish way".

George supports Graham Linehan's stances on transgender issues, telling one critic, "If you think Graham an 'utter shitebag' then you will have to call me the same, as I agree with him and think his exposure of woman-silencing bullies is careful and reasonable. Unlike the people who hide behind so-called trans activism to bully & erase & abuse women".

Religious beliefs
George's father, a vicar, died when she was 5 years old. George wrote of her father:"I have a box of his sermons that I keep meaning to read, and I’ve been thinking about him this week not just because of the anniversary of his death, or the fact that he so objected to the Americanization of Mothering Sunday into Mother’s Day that he wrote a sermon about it, but because I have been thinking about codes, and morality, and having an anchor in your life. I don’t believe in God, but I can see that God is a heck of an anchor."

Other views
The Church of England paid for George to attend boarding school as a child. George has characterized the other education options available to her as "awful". She has rejected the assertion that her attendance at boarding school and later at Oxford are examples of societal privilege. George has called the concept of cultural appropriation "pish and tosh".

Personal life
George has lived in Leeds since 2011. She is a fell runner and has written about suffering from severe endometriosis in a review of a book about a different topic.

COVID-19 controversies
On May 1, 2022, the Guardian published an article by George about experiencing long COVID-19. Some online readers took issue with the line, "My long Covid is suspected by my GP, since I never actually tested positive ..." George defended herself on Twitter by engaging with critics directly. On November 8, 2023, George posted another account of her experience with COVID. She wrote that she believes she had COVID-19 despite having taken a test that produced a negative result.

AirBnB controversy
George rents out a French house that was once a Vichy cafe and Gestapo spy station on AirBnB. In April 2023, after a renter secured a refund because the home lacked electricity, George detailed the incident publicly, referring to the renter as "a liar who had no evidence" and claiming "Air BNB does not protect hosts who behave in good faith."

Augustus Radcliffe Grote

Augustus Radcliffe Grote (February 7, 1841 – September 12, 1903) was a British entomologist who described over 1,000 species of butterflies and moths. He is best known for his work on North American Noctuidae. A number of species were named after him, including the moth Horama grotei.

Early life and family
Grote was born in Aigburth, a suburb of Liverpool, in 1841. His mother was English, and his maternal grandfather, Augustus Radcliffe, was a partner in the house of Sir Joseph Bailey. Grote was a first cousin on his mother's side to Ethel Romanes.

Grote's father was born in Danzig, and his paternal lineage traced back to Dutch philosopher Hugo Grotius. His family name was changed from 'Grohté' to 'Grote' when his father became an English citizen.

Augustus Grote came to New York at age 7, one year after his parents had moved there from England, and spent his youth on Staten Island where his father had purchased a farm in New Dorp. He attended school under Joseph Deghuée where he became childhood friends with Edward Graef and Frederick Tepper, both of whom who also became entomologists. Grote's interest in entomology, and moths in particular, began at a young age as he explored the natural areas around his home on Staten Island with Graef and Tepper. Graef describes their childhood insect collecting as follows:

"Equipped with the usual outfit of nets, cigar boxes, pill boxes and pins, we resorted as often as possible to the suburbs of the then relatively small city of Brooklyn. One favorite collecting spot was a vegetable garden, where now is the junction of Flatbush Ave. and Fulton St. Fort Greene Hill, now Washington Park, was another nice wild place. Then, there was the meadow, or sheep pasture, now part of Prospect Park, at that time devoted to pigeon shooting. Occasionally we took long trips to East New York, Bay Ridge and Parkville, as well as the many intervening unpopulated localities."

The entomological interest of the three boys was nurtured by John Ackhurst.

His father invested in real estate and was involved in the founding of the Staten Island Railway. An economic downturn in 1857 resulted in significant financial distress for the family and prevented Augustus' planned attendance at Harvard University. He later returned to Europe to further his education, and upon returning to the United States, attended Lafayette College, Pennsylvania, and graduated with a M.A. degree.

In 1870, Grote married a woman from Charleston, South Carolina; she died three years later in Alabama on the birth of their second child. About 10 years later he married Minna Ruyter, in Germany.

Aside from his natural history publications, Grote wrote two books on religious themes: 'The New Infidelity' and 'Genesis I,II': An Essay on the Biblical Narrative of Creation'. His other works include 'Education and the Succession of Experiences' and a book of poetry ('Rip van Winkle: A Sunmyth, and Other Poems'). Grote also composed music, though only one piece was ever sold.

While living in Buffalo, Grote served as organist at an Episcopal church.

Career
Grote's formal scientific work began around 1862 with the publication of his first entomology articles. He was living in Buffalo around this time and became a member of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences.

From Buffalo, Grote moved to Demopolis, Alabama where he studied the cotton worm and lobbied for increased attention to the problems it caused for cotton production. His lobbying efforts were initially unsuccessful. Shortly after the death of his wife in 1873, Grote was invited by the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences to return to Buffalo and become director of its museum; he accepted the invitation and served in this capacity for seven years. His efforts greatly expanded the museum's collection such that when he left Buffalo in 1880, it held specimens of over 1,000 Noctuid species and 505 type specimens. This collection was subsequently sold to the British Museum.

In 1878, Grote traveled to Florida, Georgia, and Alabama by appointment of the United States Entomological Commission to study insects injurious to cotton plants, with his work incorporated into the commission's report in 1885. Grote had earlier been disappointed he had not been selected to serve on the commission itself, and attributed this perceived oversight to the "adverse influence of Dr. Riley, and for many years he took every opportunity of criticizing in vehement language the work of this distinguished Entomologist."

In July 1879, he began publication of The North American Entomologist, though only one volume of 12 issues was published. He served on the editorial committee of the journal The Practical Entomologist and the publication committee of Papilio.

Shortly after the death of his father, Grote moved back to Staten Island in 1880, taking up residence in New Brighton where he entertained friends such as C.H. Fernald and Henry Edwards.

Grote moved to Bremen, Germany, in 1884 and tried, unsuccessfully, to obtain a position at the British Museum. In 1895, he moved to Hildesheim, where he took a position at the Roemer und Pelizaeus Museum. He continued to publish papers on North American Lepidoptera while in Germany.

Grote was a fellow of the Entomological Society of London and an honorary member of both the Entomological Society of Canada and the American Entomological Society. He was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society in 1876.

He published many articles, primarily on North American Lepidoptera, in the Bulletin of the Buffalo Society of Natural History, The Canadian Entomologist, and numerous other journals. Non-entomology articles include 'Descriptions of new crustaceans from the water lime group' and 'On the peopling of North America'. Several of his public lectures were published in Scientific American and Popular Science Monthly.

Death
Grote died after a long and painful bout of endocarditis in Hildesheim in 1903 at age 62, and was survived by his wife, Minna, and six children.

Talk:The Buggles

Buggles?
According to the article: "Horn said he chose "The Buggles" for the band's name because, "It was the most disgusting name I could think of at that time."" But what's so disgusting about the word "buggle"? Is this some slang term that was popular at the time? Dismas 22:12, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

I am suppose it comes from bugger, a British slang term with many meanings, one of which is a expletive/perjorative to convey crude anal sex.

Where is the source that "Video Killed The Radio Star" reached #1 on the charts? The song only peaked at #40 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. The song was the first video played on MTV, of course, but that's quite different than reaching #1 on the charts. The song was #1 in the UK charts, not the USA.

There is no definite article in the official name for the Buggles, as confirmed by record labels and Joel Whitburn's chart books. The definite article is used before their name in speech and in running text, but not in headings and in lists of names. The same is true for:

Carpenters Go-Gos

I can't figure out how to remove the definite article from the titles of the entries of these acts.

For the record, the following non-definite-article acts are listed correctly in Wikipedia:

Pet Shop Boys Buzzcocks Spice Girls Village People Sex Pistols Doves Associates Bee Gees

A nerdy observation, but keeping in the spirit of Wikipedia.

 * Actually, the UK records generally do credit "The Buggles" on the label (though the front sleeves say "Buggles"). I think the most we can say is that the use of the definite article was inconsistent. --80.3.40.2 14:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

 * How do you pronounce Buggle? Is it like Bugle, or like bug?  ABart26 07:27, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

 * To rhyme with snuggle

 * Cheers. ABart26 16:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, so if they continually omitted the definate article from their name, why on Earth would anybody include it? Surely that's an indicator that their actual name is Buggles and not The Buggles..? -- Mal 07:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

IMO At the time of their becoming famous, they were marketed as Buggles and that's what I got to know them as - and I'll not be calling them The Buggles just because they thought that was their name. If Buggles was wrong, why didn't they get it corrected ?

OK, so this is a bit late but....
I realise this is a tad late in the conversation but here is my 2c on this anyway. As somebody who was actually around in 1979 (I was 19), I never heard them referred to as just "Buggles". They were always referred to as "The Buggles". I happen to have an original copy of the "Video Killed The Radio Star" single here and both sides give the group's name as "The Buggles" with production also credited to "The Buggles". "The" was often omitted from the names of groups on record covers because it was not good marketing to include it. "The Buggles" (or "The Bangles" etc) had to be in smaller writing than "Buggles" on the record label and cover use of "The" put the group's records near the end of the racks in the record stores under "T", rather than at the beginning under "B". Lack of "The" on the record doesn't necessarily mean that the official name also lacks "The". If it did, would this group be a different group to this one?

I also note that on Geoff Downes' website, both on the bio page (see para 8) and in the 31 July 2008 blog entry, the group is referred to as "The Buggles", not "the Buggles". --AussieLegend (talk) 17:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Follow-up - I contacted Geoff Downes management via an email address I found on his website and received the following reply:We, (me & Trevor) always referred to ourselves as "The Buggles", after originating the name as a spoof on "The Beatles". But the record label, Island (who incidentally hated the name!) dropped the "The", in quite a few promotional instances, as some of the depts thought it the lesser of two evils & more preferable without it....hence, the 2 options. However, when possible, we always tried to use it, as that was what it was all about to us, and we got the joke!

Best regards & hope all is well,

Geoff That confirms what is on the website, ie that the name of the group is "The Buggles", not just "Buggles" --AussieLegend (talk) 00:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Inconsistencies
It can hardly be said that Buggles were formed as a new wave band in 1977. Punk began in 1976 and gained full momentum in 1977. 'New wave' was supposed to have been a post-punk genre, and in any case Buggles were pure, unadulterated pop. Nothing more, nothing less. Bruce Woolley actually wrote the majority of 'Video...' and receives 50% of the royalties, even though there are 3 people credited. On a radio interview for BBC Radio 2, 19/02/2008, he said that he wrote the tune and most of the words, and that it had been 'beautifully arranged by Geoff Downes'. Presumably Trevor Horn was the production input. The vocal was achieved by putting the microphone through a Vox AC30 and capturing the resulting tone. There was some panic when the song was rerecorded for the master tape as they couldn't quite capture the exact result as on the demo. apparently.79.73.219.160 (talk) 20:22, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd like to know how Hans Zimmer got on there. Sposato (talk) 04:38, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

The Buggles had a synthetic, modern sound, so the new wave description is apt, although old-fashioned now. New wave, I now believe, refers to the new talent that emerged in the music industry after 1978. Eligius (talk) 00:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

What is the song about
The buggles started in 2000 for the case of tv's and videos taking over radio

Modified some dates
I modified some details about release dates (Lenny and Beatnik are from 1982), and I added Beatnik to a sum-up of single in one sentence. And Lenny did chart, in the Netherlands. Those are things that are factually 100% right so I thought it OK to modify the text without consulting anyone, hope you don't mind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melambdalguq (talk • contribs) 23:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Was Bruce Woolley ever a member?
There are conflicting information about Bruce Woolley and his relation to The Buggles. This article currently currently says that Woolley initially was a member and that he left shortly before the release of "Video Killed the Radio Star", while the article about Woolley states "Woolley was never a member of The Buggles. He was, in his own words, merely "on the design team"." Unfortunately, neither is backed by a reliable source (actually not sourced at all). So what to believe? I would like to get this point this point straightened out so we can streamline the two articles. Can anyone help with a reliable source? – Ib Leo (talk) 08:40, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Woolley never performed with The Buggles. As far as I'm aware, his involvement was limited to co-writing a couple of songs, like "Video Killed the Radio Star". --AussieLegend (talk) 09:11, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Yeah, he apparently wrote the music to "Video Killed..." (and own 50% of the rights to that song) and co-wrote a number of other Buggles songs. He also plays on both studio albums. But I am also beginning to think that he was never a real member of the band, but I would like to back it up with a reliable source (I have been unable to locate one myself, hence this request). So unless another editor comes along and tells me otherwise in the next couple of days, I will go ahead and modify the article in that direction. – Ib Leo (talk) 14:15, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

 * ✅. I have updated the lead section and the navigation box accordingly.

Trevor Horn's website describes Woolley as being a member of the original line-up of the band. Is that good enough? I'll make the change. Bondegezou (talk) 14:00, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

 * You were already bold once, and since I reverted you, per WP:CONS you should seek a compromise before reinstating your edit. You never gave me a chance to reply; in consequence I have re-reverted you. Now, regarding your source, I see what you mean. However, as it is a self-published source which should not be used in such a context ,I am not convinced about it. Horn is probably willing to twist history a tiny bit to his advantage to attract attention to this new tour. Please consider the following facts: (a) The Bruce Woolley article currently states "Woolley was never a member of The Buggles. He was, in his own words, merely "on the design team"." Sure, it's also an unsourced statement but I am concerned about consistency between the articles. (b) Woolley was clearly not a member of The Buggles by the time when "Video Killed the Radio Star" was released; he is not pictured on the cover, and he even released his own version of the song with the Camera Club beforehand. (c) Allmusic, for what it's worth, doesn't mention Woolley. – Ib Leo (talk) 19:37, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know that you should be reverting someone "in consequence". You take issue with the Trevor Horn statement as "self-published", yet cite your position with Woolley's Wikipedia entry, which is not permissable. I don't see how the fact that he was not with the band by the time "Radio Star" was released, supports that he was "never a member". Unless I've missed something, being mentioned at Allmusic is not a requirement. 2tuntony (talk) 00:02, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Reviewing this further, I fail to see how Trevor Horn's site is "self-published". It would be "self-published" if it was on Bruce Woolley's site. Your statement that "Horn is probably willing to twist history to gain attraction to this new tour", is both speculation (what he "is probably willing" to do), and inaccurate ("new tour"). It is specifically stated that there will be no tour, nor commercial release of the one-off performance, which is a benefit for neurological disability.2tuntony (talk) 00:12, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

 * You are of course right when you state that there was a degree of speculation in my previous entry. I must also admit that I somehow hastily read the entry on Trevor Horn's website and missed the part about no tour planned, etc. Mea culpa. So I have to admit that for the first time we have a reliable source stating that Bruce Woolley was a member. I am willing to accept that, and I think we should reflect it better in the article than just sticking his name into the infobox; at least we should add a link to the source. I would also propose to re-insert him back into the navbox. However, I am still concerned about the consistency, as the article about Bruce Woolley actually states that he was never a member (see my previous entry above). WDYT? In best cooperation. – Ib Leo (talk) 21:21, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Your comment is most appreciated. I agree that anything we can back up with WP:RS concerning Woolley's very brief tenure with the band should be included. As far as the inconsistencies between the articles goes, I think that the Woolley article needs a lot of work. However, it is my understanding (and I could be off base here), that Wikipedia articles are always to be treated as separate entities. In other words, I think that the Woolley article needs work, just because it needs work, rather than anything that is said, or unsaid in this article. YMMV, of course. 2tuntony (talk) 03:59, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with you that Bruce Woolley's article is not in the best of shapes, and in need of cleanup and RS's. However, I am not aware of any policy or guideline saying that articles should be considered as entirely separate entities and that we should not worry about consistency. This does not mean that such a thing does not exist, although I would find it pretty weird. But let's stick to the RS we have and consider BW as a member. I have reinserted him into the navbox for a start. – Ib Leo (talk) 19:41, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Bruce Woolley was never an official member - he just helped out. Sort of like Spike Edney with Queen, who played keyboards on albums and live - a "fifth Beatle", if you will. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arran64 (talk • contribs) 10:14, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

The continued interest in "Video Killed the Radio Star" has allowed for some latter-day clarity on the issue. Although after a concert performance of the song in 2004, Horn introduced Woolley as an "early Buggle" (performer introductions start at 4:08), in a 2018 interview with The Guardian Horn stated that The Buggles formed after Woolley parted ways with Horn and Downes. Per the interview, the three came together as the touring band for the singer Tina Charles, Horn's then-girlfriend. The trio wrote some songs together, but, Horn says, "When Bruce got a solo deal and left, Geoff and I became Buggles." -- GentlemanGhost  (séance)  12:10, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Where is Hans Zimmer?
The Wikipedia and IMDb pages for Hans Zimmer say he was a member of The Buggles, but this page doesn't mention him at all. I don't know the facts but there certainly shouldn't be that inconsistency in Wikipedia, either this page or his page is wrong. 146.232.75.208 (talk) 23:04, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

 * The article on Hans Zimmer says simply "He worked with The Buggles (...)" and continues with a sourced statement that he appeared briefly in the music video for "Video Killed the Radio Star". I have copies of both their studio albums and—unlike Bruce Woolley—he does not play on any of them. So I don't think there is ground for stating membership, and I don't think there is any inconsistency between the two articles. – Ib Leo (talk) 11:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Merge - Buggles Discography
Merge Proposal : Merge The Buggles discography into The Buggles

I don't know why the discography was split out from this article into a separate article. The discography is rather short as it consists of two albums and the singles released from them. The Buggles article is not so large as to justify a split, and the discography article itself is substantially the same content but with better referencing (that's a good thing). What isn't a good thing is sending our readers to a separate article when the information could be presented in the article itself, and was so until it was split off. -- Whpq (talk) 11:21, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Not doing a vote here, but actually the Discog is a little more than just two albums and nine singles. Theres also 2 music videos listed there. Just so you are aware. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 13:03, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Theres also this source that said they also did a remix of the Jags "Back of my Hand". I mean, I know its Discogs, but we could cite the Vinyl itself. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 13:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes I am aware. The point is that the entire discography as a whole is so small that it easily fits into the main article, so there is no justification for a separate discography article. -- Whpq (talk) 13:14, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I just wanted to find stuff by this group so you would know how much there would be in the discography. Could we count this as a promotional EP? Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 13:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think, since I've add some more credits, that its so short it doesn't deserve its own article, so I'm going with an Oppose vote. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 01:47, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Oppose merger The discography has 16 items; 10 is the minimum threshold for an article to be a WP:FLC candidate (which it incidentally is). If it is good enough to be a featured list, it is good enough to be its own article. Besides, tacking it on at the end of The Buggles would just make this article too long.—indopug (talk) 06:05, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose. There's enough to warrant a separate article for their discography. — Status  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 03:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Years active
Do you think we should change the disbanding year from 1981 to 1982? The Buggles did do a live performance on a Dutch TV show in 1982, as claimed Here, so do you think we should count that as part of the band's original activity? Editor E  at ma talk page up, scotty! 19:43, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Grimké sisters

Multiple articles
In addition to this article on the Grimke Sisters, there are articles on Sarah Grimke (1792 - 1873) and Angelina Grimke Weld (1805 - 1879). Historical references often group the two together, so there is justification for this arrangement. However, the original editor of this article evidently copied from another internet site -- while asserting that the material is used by permission, no proof of permission was included. I believe all three articles should be reworked to reduce potential copyright questions and draw some distinction between the two sisters. But, ultimately, merging them all might be best. Comments welcome. WBardwin 22:12, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree that having three articles may not be best, but the stories of the sisters are intertwined, so merger would not be easy. --DThomsen8 (talk) 22:36, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Early life and education
This section has some confusing/unclear information. Specifically, the passage: "Until 1854, Theodore was often away from home, either on the lecture circuit or in Washington. After that, financial pressures forced him to take up a more lucrative profession. For a time they lived on a farm and operated a boarding school. Many abolitionists, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, sent their children to the school. Eventually, it grew to become a cooperative, the Raritan Bay Union."

I assume Theodore is Theodore Weld. There is no mention of anyone by this name previously in the article, though. Who is "they" referring to? ("For a time they lived on a farm.") — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sweeperchick (talk • contribs) 15:12, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

And in the paragraph before, there's the assertion that they stopped lecturing in public, without ever mentioning that they ever began lecturing in public. — Preceding bluespapa comment added by Bluespapa (talk • contribs) 05:24, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
