Holton (Leblanc)

Holton is a brand owned by the Conn-Selmer division of Steinway Musical Instruments. The original business was a used instrument shop began in 1898 by American trombone player Frank Holton in Chicago, Illinois. The firm built brass instruments for ten years in Chicago, then in Elkhorn, Wisconsin from 1918 until 2008, when production of Holton-branded instruments moved to Eastlake, Ohio. The business remained independent until it was acquired by Leblanc in 1964. Leblanc was acquired by Conn-Selmer in 2004 and its properties became subsidiaries of Conn-Selmer.

Frank Holton
Frank E. Holton was born March 10, 1858, in Allegan, Michigan to farmers Otis (b. 1827) and Hanna A. (b. 1829) Holton. He grew up with three sisters: Emma E. Holton, Alice Holton and Leona Holton. By the time he was 34, Frank Holton was an accomplished trombone player and principal trombone of the Sousa Band, a role that would later be filled by Arthur Pryor. In 1885 he had partnered with James Warren York in York & Holton, before he established his own company in 1898.

Frank Holton's wife Florence was a music teacher. They had no children. Frank Holton, though not an instrument maker himself, expanded his company to manufacture instruments which was his occupation until retiring at age 80. Frank Holton died after a protracted illness on April 16, 1942, at the age of 84.

Chicago
Frank Holton's first business venture on his own was a small rented shop with a desk, two counters and two chairs that he had to paint himself at Clark and Madison streets in Chicago, in 1898, where he sold used instruments and his own formula slide oil for trombone. Unable to make the rent at times, Holton was known to pawn instruments at a shop on Clark Street between 1898 and 1900.

By 1907, a skilled horn maker had been hired, and the production of Holton instruments required the construction of a factory on the West Side of Chicago. It would be home to Frank Holton & Company for only a decade.

Elkhorn
In April 1918, Holton opened a factory in Elkhorn, Wisconsin moving over 200 employees and 85 carloads of machinery from Chicago. The city had lured Holton to Elkhorn through the efforts of a group of local businessmen, who, acting under city mandate, built the new factory which was turned over to Holton and Co. upon their arrival. That building remained as the core of the Holton factory until the decision in 2008 to merge Holton horn production with King and Conn instruments in Eastlake, Ohio.

While the factory had been paid for by the city of Elkhorn, the cost of training skilled labor resulted in the first profits there not being seen until 1920.

Along with machinery and employees, Holton brought the company band to Elkhorn which would quickly merge with the storied Elkhorn Band, which had been founded in 1840 by Charles Seelye only 3 years after the town of Elkhorn itself. The band had served as the 12th Regimental Band from 1861 to 1864 during the Civil War.

Already building a full line of high-end brass instruments, Holton recognized the growth of music in the schools and began selling student-line instruments built by other workshops under the trade names Pertin and Beaufort. Holton also began production of saxophones in the late Chicago days, and would remain in production of such instruments into the post World War II era. Holton saxophones never enjoyed the reputation or sales of their competitors C.G. Conn, Buescher, Martin, or King, but generate interest for the idiosyncratic keywork on some early models. In the early 1930s the Holton Collegiate line of student horns was introduced, which would last through the 1970s. After 2004 the defunct Collegiate line was re-introduced by Conn-Selmer under their Holton brand, again targeting a balance of quality and price suitable for school music programs.

In addition to building the company in Elkhorn, Frank Holton also built a subdivision of 5 and 6 room bungalows in 1919. The 25 homes were priced in the $3,000 to $4,000 range.

Post Frank Holton
After retiring, at age 82 Frank Holton sold the company to employee William Kull. The company was run from that point forward by sales manager Elliot Kehl, though Kull would retain the title CEO until he died in 1944.

During World War II, the company performed defense work, as did most all instrument manufacturers. Following the war, Elliot Kehl secured a controlling interest in the company and began development of several new products including the Farkas Model French horn and a new line of saxophones. The Stratodyne was Holton's top line saxophone from 1948 to 1958 and the last model sold as a professional saxophone by Holton.

Holton became the supplier for Leblanc's Vito line of student-line brasswinds and (briefly) saxophones in 1951. Leblanc acquired Holton in 1964 and phased out the Collegiate saxophone line in favor of their Vito-branded instruments. The Collegiate brand for brasswinds was terminated in 1980. From 1971 on, Leblanc used the Martin Committee brand on some Holton model brasswinds.

Under Conn-Selmer
Leblanc was acquired by Conn-Selmer in 2004. In 2008, the Elkhorn factory was closed and production was moved to the Eastlake, Ohio plant that produces King and C.G. Conn brasswinds. Conn-Selmer currently produces Holton-branded cornets, trumpets, french horns, trombones, and slide and valve oil. Some of the featured products built during the post-acquisition period include:
 * The Holton Collegiate and New Collegiate line of student brasswinds
 * The Maynard Ferguson trumpet series
 * The Farkas Model French horn
 * The Merker-Matic series of French horns
 * The Harvey Phillips Model tubas
 * Frank Holton's trombone slide oil (the original formulation) and valve oil

Holton artists
The Holton company relied on endorsement by leading artists as one of its primary marketing tools. Often these artists collaborated on the design of instruments that they would then play and promote. Some would subsequently leave Holton to build instruments themselves.

Among these were :
 * Frank Holton (1858–1942), the former lead trombone with the Sousa Band and an accomplished performer who could demonstrate his product.
 * Ernst Albert Couturier (1869–1950), cornet virtuoso and instrument maker behind the Holton Couturier New Model, performed as a Holton artist from 1907 until starting his own firm in 1916.
 * Vincent Bach (1890–1976), cornet and trumpet player and manufacturer of trumpets and mouthpieces performed as a Holton artist in 1917-18 prior to starting his own firm.
 * Edward Llewellyn (d. 1936), principal trumpet of the Chicago Symphony, began performing as a Holton artist in 1919.
 * Renold Schilke (1910–1982), principal trumpet of the Chicago Symphony and instrument maker, performed as a member of the Holton-sponsored Chicago Symphony Brass Ensemble in the 1950s.
 * Philip Farkas (1914–1992), principal horn of the Chicago Symphony, left what became Schilke Music Products in 1956 and joined with Holton, designing the Holton Farkas Model french horn.
 * Ethel Merker (1923-2012), prominent horn player in Chicago, collaborated in the design and development of the Merker-Matic line of horns.
 * Maynard Ferguson (1928–2006), trumpet and flugelhorn virtuoso and namesake of the Holton Maynard Ferguson Trumpet line, performed as a Holton artist and designer starting in the 1960s.
 * Harvey Phillips (1929–2010), tuba player, professor, creator of the Harvey Phillips Foundation and Tuba Christmas, and namesake of the Holton Phillips Model Tuba teamed with Holton in the 1990s.

Not all ventures with artists were successful. The Holton Falcone Model baritone horn, developed at the end of the 1970s with input from the namesake of the Leonard Falcone International Tuba and Euphonium Festival was dropped after only a short run when Leonard Falcone refused to endorse or play on the production version. There is no record of the popular 1920s saxophone player Rudy Wiedoeft ever having played on his namesake instrument produced by Holton.

Councils of Carthage

The Councils of Carthage were church synods held during the 3rd, 4th, and 5th centuries in the city of Carthage in Africa. The most important of these are described below.

Synod of 251
In May 251 a synod, assembled under the presidency of Cyprian to consider the treatment of the Lapsi, excommunicated Felicissimus and five other Novatian bishops (Rigorists), and declared that the lapsi should be dealt with, not with indiscriminate severity, but according to the degree of individual guilt. These decisions were confirmed by a synod of Rome in the autumn of the same year. Other Carthaginian synods concerning the lapsi were held in 252 and 254.

Synod of 256
Two synods, in 255 and 256, held under Cyprian, pronounced against the validity of heretical baptism, thus taking direct issue with Stephen I, bishop of Rome, who promptly repudiated them. A third synod in September 256, possibly following the repudiation, unanimously reaffirmed the position of the other two. Stephen's claims to authority as bishop of bishops were sharply resented, and for some time the relations of the Roman and African sees were severely strained.

 * A variety of unresolved issues related to restoration of the lapsed in faith and the actions of those who had been considered heretics remained to be dealt with at the first ecumenical council. The eighth canon of the council in particular addressed Novationists.

Synod of 345
Around 345–348 under Gratus a synod of orthodox bishops, who had met to record their gratitude for the effective official repression of the Circumcelliones (Donatists), declared against the rebaptism of any one who had been baptized in the name of the Trinity, and adopted twelve canons of clerical discipline.

Synod of 397
The Council of Carthage, called the third by Denzinger, met on 28 August 397. It reaffirmed the canons of Hippo from 393, and issued its own. It was attended by Augustine of Hippo.

One of these gives a canon of the Bible. The primary source of information about the third Council of Carthage comes from the Codex Canonum Ecclesiae Africanae, which presents a compilation of ordinances enacted by various church councils in Carthage during the fourth and fifth centuries. In one section of this code the following paragraph concerning the canon of Scripture appears.

The "five books of Solomon", according to Augustine, were Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom of Solomon, and Ecclesiasticus.

When the council determined that only 'two books of Esdras' were to be considered canonical, it referred to the two books in the Vetus Latina and the Septuagint, which are Ezra–Nehemiah and 1 Esdras. The council was not referring to 2 Esdras, which was excluded from the canon.

Conference of 411
The Conference of Carthage, held by the command of the Emperor Honorius in 411 with a view to terminating the Donatist schism, while not strictly a synod, was one of the most important assemblies in the history of the African sees, and of the whole Catholic Church. It was presided over by Marcellinus of Carthage who found in favour of the orthodox party, which led to the violent suppression of the Donatists.

Council of 418
Following the Synod of Diospolis, on 1 May 418 a minor synod (Augustine of Hippo called it A Council of Africa), was assembled under the presidency of Aurelius, bishop of Carthage, to take action concerning the errors of Caelestius, a disciple of Pelagius. It denounced the Pelagian doctrines of human nature, original sin, grace, and perfectibility; and it fully approved the contrary views of Augustine.

The synod issued eight canons
 * Canon I: Adam was not created subject to death.
 * Canon II: Infants are to be baptized for the remission of sins.
 * Canon III: Grace not only gives remission of sins but aid that we sin no more.
 * Canon IV: Grace gives knowledge, inspiration and desire to perform required duty.
 * Canon V: Without the grace of God we can do no good thing.
 * Canon VI: The statement “If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves” should not be said out of humility but because it is true.
 * Canon VII: In the Lord's Prayer, the Saints pray “Forgive us our trespasses” not only for others but also for themselves.
 * Canon VIII: The Saints pray “Forgive us our trespasses” not out of humility but because they have sinned.

Council of 419
The Canons made at this council are often called The Code of Canons of the African Church. It was led by Aurelius, bishop of Carthage and attended by 217 bishops, which held two sessions, 25 and 30 May. "In the year 418-19, all canons formerly made in sixteen councils held at Carthage, one at Milevis, one at Hippo, that were approved of, were read, and received a new sanction from a great number of bishops, then met in synod at Carthage. This Collection is the Code of the African Church, which was always in greatest repute in all Churches next after the Code of the Universal Church. This code was of very great authority in the old English Churches, for many of the Excerptions of Egbert were transcribed from it... these African Canons are inserted into the Ancient Code both of the Eastern and Western Churches."

Here is a list of the various councils which made the enactments, with their dates.

 * Carthage (under Gratus)— 345–348 a.d.
 * (under Genethlius)— 387 or 390
 * Hippo — 393
 * Carthage— 394
 * (26 June)— 397
 * (28 August)— 397
 * (27 April)— 399
 * (15 June)— 401
 * (13 September)— 401
 * Milevis (27 August)— 402
 * Carthage (25 August)— 403
 * (June)— 404
 * (August 25)— 405
 * (13 June)— 407
 * Carthage (16 June and 13 October)— 408
 * Carthage (16 June)— 409
 * (14 June)— 410
 * (1 May)— 418
 * (25 May) which adopted the African Code — 419

In total 138 Canons (counted as 135 in the Greek) were issued at this council.

Apiarius, deposed by Urbanus, Bishop of Sicca, for grave misconduct, appealed to Pope Zosimus, who, in view of irregularities in the bishop's procedure, ordered that the priest should be reinstated, and his bishop disciplined. Vexed, perhaps, at the unworthy priest's success, a general synod of Carthage in May 418 forbade appeal "beyond the seas" of clerics inferior to bishops. Recognizing in what was virtually a restatement of previous African legislation an expression of displeasure on the part of the African bishops, Pope Zosimus sent a delegation to defend his right to receive certain appeals, citing decrees believed by him to have been enacted at the Council of Nicaea, but which in fact were canons of the council of Sardica. The African bishops who met the legates, while not recognizing these decrees as Nicene, accepted them pending verification. This led to a tedious delay of the council. The sixteenth Council of Carthage was held in May 419 and there again the representations of Zosimus were accepted, awaiting the result of a comparison of the Nicene canons as they existed in Africa, in which the decrees cited by the Pope had not been found, with those of the churches of Antioch, Alexandria and Constantinople. By the end of the year 419, Pope Boniface, who had succeeded Zosimus in December 418, was informed that the eastern codices did not contain the alleged decrees; but, as the now repentant Apiarius had meantime been assigned to a new field of labour, interest in the affair subsided.

The matter was reopened a few years later, when Apiarius, who had been deposed a second time, on new charges, again appealed to Rome for reinstatement. Faustinus, the Roman legate, reappeared at the Synod of 424 and demanded the annulment of the sentence passed on the priest. Apiarius, however, broke down under examination, and admitted his guilt. A synodal letter to Rome emphasized how needful it was that Rome should not lightly credit all complainants from Africa, nor receive into fellowship such as had been excommunicated; and lastly, requested the pope to send no more legates to execute his judgments.

Synod of 484
The Vandal Synod of Carthage (484) was a largely unsuccessful church council meeting called by the Vandal King Huneric to persuade the Nicene bishops in his recently acquired North African territories to convert to Arian Christianity. The Nicene bishops refused and many, including Fulgentius of Ruspe and Tiberiumus, were exiled to Sardinia, and some executed. The Notitia Provinciarum at Civitatum Africa says that nearly 500 went into exile. The bishops had requested that Nicene bishops from outside Huneric's dominions be allowed to attend but this was refused, the king saying "When you make me master of the whole world, then what you want shall be done". The synod appears to have been an exercise in royal browbeating more than a genuine debate, with bias toward Arian bishops.

Council of 525
The 525 Council of Carthage was convened by Bishop Boniface of Carthage in order to re-establish power over North Africa's Nicene bishops after the rule of Arian Vandal bishops. The Council lasted from 5 to 6 February 525 CE.

Where Is the Line

"Where Is the Line" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer Björk for her fifth studio album Medúlla. It was written by the singer herself and co-produced with longtime collaborator Mark Bell. The track was originally intended to be released as the album's third commercial single, but its release was cancelled just before Björk released the Drawing Restraint 9 soundtrack, in order to focus all promotional efforts on the film and soundtrack instead. Some promotional white labels vinyls were released around 2005. A music video for the song was made by Icelandic Artist Gabríela Friðriksdóttir. Upon the cancellation of the single, the video was used as part of a video installation project by Friðriksdóttir.

Background and composition
"Where Is the Line" features a contribution by beatboxer Rahzel. According to Björk, she e-mailed "Where Is the Line" to British musician Mark Bell, who a year later replied with a little idea for it. She wanted to make an arrangement like the one for "Brennið þið Vitar", an Icelandic choir piece. After she did it, the song "started to scream for a vocal only version. We tried very hard very long and when finally Rahzel came and sang a beat that we had programmed, gave us some noises we edited into it, it finally fell into place in end of April I think it was and I was so happy when I heard the first playthrough of the only vocal version that I silently cried. It felt great, hard tough work but really really worth it". In an interview with Uncut, Björk revealed that she kept hearing "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen in her head when I was editing "Where Is the Line" and "Vökuró", another track on Medúlla. She also thought that "they have the same epic playfulness. I don't know if other people will detect the humour, but I think they're both really funny songs. There's something impressive and ridiculous about them". "Where Is the Line" is a dark song in which Björk attacks her younger brother for being greedy and unreliable. In its lyrics, the singer displays some irritation: "I'm elastic for you, but enough is enough".

Critical reception
Today website was positive towards "Where Is the Line", and said that "it was no coincidence" that one of "the most exciting tracks" on the album contained more percussion and instrumentation than the others. Theon Weber from Spin magazine said the song "assault[s] the listener with a hail of vocal gunfire".

Heather Phares of AllMusic commented that the track was one of Björk's "tough, no-nonsense songs", and "Rahzel's hard-hitting beats make it starker than anything on Homogenic".

Music video
The music video for "Where Is the Line" was directed by Icelandic artist Gabríela Friðriksdóttir and shot at a stable in Iceland, in November 2004. It was premiered during Friðriksdóttir's exposition at the Venice Biennale in 2005. Originally being one of three films from the artist's Versations Tetralogia, then edited to fit "Where Is The Line". It shows Björk wearing a dress made of sandbags and standing in a barn full of hay. She gives birth to a convulsing person (dancer Erna Ómarsdóttir) covered in a white stickiness who, after a wild dance, withdraws back inside the host. After a series of explosions, a number of creatures made of hay emerge from the hay stacks. They surround her and cover her with their bodies on the ground until she is no longer visible. The video was included on the DVD The Medúlla Videos, which included all music videos from Medúlla, released in 2005.

Live performances
Björk premiered "Where Is the Line" on the Greatest Hits tour in 2003, along with other three tracks from Medúlla. The song has also been performed on the Volta tour in 2007 and 2008. Additionally, "Where Is the Line" was performed along with musician Mike Patton, best known as the lead singer of the alternative metal band Faith No More, on the Biophilia tour on 28 May 2013, in San Francisco. The song was also added to the setlist of some shows of the Vulnicura tour in 2015.

Cover and usage in media
The track was covered by Michael Wollny and Heinz Sauer on their album Certain Beauty, under the title "Where is the Line (With You)". The track was also included on a compilation album released by Rough Trade, titled The Record Shop - 30 Years of Rough Trade Shops. The track was chosen by Richard Russell. A remix by Mike Patton, who contributed to the original song, was made available for download on War Child Music in April 2005.

Hi there - you keep inserting the statement that Obama is a grammy award-winning presidential candidate. As true as that is, it does not belong in the lead of his biography article. Please take the cue that people are removing it. That's got plenty of mention elsewhere in the encyclopedia, for example in the "Dreams from My Father" section in the middle of the article. Please don't insert it again into the lead - take a look at the "article probation" notice on the talk page, and also the policy WP:3RR for some explanations of why not to keep reverting things.

Xizer, this edit summary is unacceptable. Given your extensive block history, one would hope that you would tread cautiously, rather than ignoring past warnings and incidents. If there is another incident like this, you will in all likelihood lose your editing privileges for an extended period. --Ckatz chat spy  17:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Your edits to this article reflect the product in an overly negative light. The article should not be a list of missing features; it should be an encyclopedic description. There is a place for mention of missing features - critical reaction to these should, where appropriate, be placed in the Reception section. Also, the older version of the article, before you reverted many recent changes, was much more lucid and grammatically correct. CalumCookable (talk) 11:53, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Vanguard Editor, really?
May I remind you that the requirements for displaying that star are 200,000 edits and 20 years' service. While it seems that you have made a total of 1,218 edits during your time here at Wikipedia.

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring  after a review of the reverts you have made on William Adams (judge). Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively. Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 02:29, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

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 Upload. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Upload~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.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:06, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre

The Hong Kong Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre (HKMRCC) is responsible for coordinating air-sea rescue in Hong Kong and an extensive area of the South China Sea. Besides the territorial waters of Hong Kong, the area includes international waters lying to the north of latitude 10° north, to the west of longitude 120° east, and bounded by mainland China, Vietnam, the Philippines and Taiwan. The area covered is known as the Hong Kong Maritime Search and Rescue Region.

The MRCC is a co-ordination centre and neither possesses nor has direct command over search and rescue (SAR) resources. Its role is to co-ordinate all available SAR resources to perform a maritime search and rescue mission. In doing this it may call on the resources of:

 * the Hong Kong Police Force Marine Region
 * the Hong Kong Marine Department
 * the Hong Kong Government Flying Service
 * the Hong Kong Fire Services Department
 * equivalent resources of other governments in the region
 * naval forces in the region
 * merchant shipping and fishing vessels in the vicinity of the incident

For administrative purposes, the MRCC forms part of the Hong Kong Marine Department.

Talk:The House of the Dead (video game)

Topic
The character stories need to be in sync with House of the Dead itself in the game, not the series. Information about what the characters are doing in 2019 should be covered in conjunction with the House of the Dead III article.

 * I've cleaned up the article conisderably. Story details are now in present tense; story and character details are now under one section; HotD detail placed before subsequent releases, movie.

Ports
I think something should be said about the home console ports of the game, including the unique version for the Playstation 2 that is part of SEGA Superstars, where instead of shooting, you punch the zombies. Sincerely, --Horace Horatius 16:34, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:4. Magician Screen (Old).PNG
Image:4. Magician Screen (Old).PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

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

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Plot
Hi, it's unclear to me what you mean with your edit summary "This isn't opinion, the statement is backed by sources within the article, you might as well delete the whole plot by your logic!" First, you've been here for some time, try to follow WP:BRD. Second, your edit in question was just not necessary, it doesn't help with understanding the topic. That Hangedman kills two people in front of the protagonists, does the general reader have to know that to understand the plot of The House of the Dead? No, they do not. Third, competence is required: it's "hordes", not "hoards" and you misspelled Hangedman as "Hnagedman". Please discuss your edits in the future, I noticed you've been adding a lot of unnecessary fluff to plot sections on video games. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 04:54, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Soetermans, please read WP pages before citing them; making a couple typos is not even remotely a competence is required issue. And the very first sentence of WP:BRD is "The BOLD, revert, discuss cycle (BRD) is one of many optional strategies that editors may use to seek consensus." [emphasis in original] Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia, so demanding that a good faith editor discuss their edits in advance is not appropriate.

The Oppressed

The Oppressed are a Welsh Oi! band that formed in 1981 in Cardiff, Wales. Most of the musicians in the band's various lineups have been skinheads. Throughout the band's career, the members (especially vocalist Roddy Moreno) openly expressed opposition to racism and fascism — in their lyrics, interviews, on-stage comments and other actions. In 1989, Moreno visited New York City and met a few members of Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP). On his return to the United Kingdom, he started promoting SHARP ideals to British skinheads. The band has also had ties to other anti-racist groups, such as Anti-Fascist Action. Moreno is a Cardiff City F.C. supporter, and some of the band's songs express that support.

The band has split and re-formed several times, the first occasion in 1984 after which Moreno focused on his record labels, Oi! Records and Ska Records for the remainder of the decade.

Their most recent split was in 2016, but they re-formed in 2020, and continue performing today. The present day line-up is Roddy Moreno (vocals/guitar), fellow founder member Russell "Ducky" Payne (guitar), Che Jones (drums) and Ross Goldworthy (bass).

ASC is a test of teamwork, engineering skill, and endurance that stretches across thousands of miles of public roads.

The competition occurs every two years in the summer of even years. ASC 2020 was postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rules

 * Race consists of a series of timed stages between predetermined locations; all teams begin and end each stage in the same location
 * The team with the lowest overall elapsed time wins
 * The total area of all solar cells and related reflectors, etc. must not exceed 6 square meters

History
Originally called Sunrayce USA, the first race was organized and sponsored by General Motors in 1990 in an effort to promote automotive engineering and solar energy among college students. At the time, GM had just won the inaugural World Solar Challenge in Australia in 1987; rather than continue actively racing, it instead opted to sponsor collegiate events.

Subsequent races were held in 1993, 1995, 1997 and 1999 under the name Sunrayce [year] (e.g. Sunrayce 93). In 2001, the race was renamed American Solar Challenge and was sponsored by the United States Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Beginning in 2005, its name changed again to North American Solar Challenge, in order to reflect the border crossing into Canada and the addition of co-sponsor Natural Resources Canada. The name was changed back to ASC in 2010.

After the 2005 race, the U.S. Department of Energy discontinued its sponsorship, resulting in no scheduled race for 2007. Sponsorship was taken over for NASC 2008 by Toyota. The American Solar Challenge is now governed by the Innovators Educational Foundation.

1990
The original, 1800 mi Sunrayce USA route started at Disney World in Orlando, Florida and ended at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan. The winner of the first race was the University of Michigan Solar Car Team's Sunrunner, with an average speed of 24.7 mph, followed by Western Washington University's Viking XX.

Overall Standings

1993
Sunrayce 93 was held June 20–26, 1993. The race route covered over 1100 mi starting in Arlington, TX and ending in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The first place car was Maize & Blue from the University of Michigan followed by the Intrepid from Cal Poly Pomona.

Overall Standings

1995
Sunrayce 95 ran along a 1600 mi route from Indianapolis, Indiana to Golden, Colorado. Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Manta won the race with an average speed of 37.23 mph, followed by the University of Minnesota's Aurora II just 18 minutes behind.

Overall Standings

1997
Sunrayce 1997 followed a familiar route from Indianapolis, Indiana to a finish line in Colorado Springs, Colorado. California State University-Los Angeles's Solar Eagle III won the nine-day Sunrayce 97. Solar Eagle III averaged 43.29 mph, followed by MIT's Manta GT in second place.

Overall Standings

1999
Sunrayce 99, running from Washington, D.C., to Orlando, Florida, was notable for its lack of sunshine. The University of Missouri-Rolla's Solar Miner II won the race with an average speed of 25.3 mph. The car from Queen's University placed second.

Overall Standings

2001
In 2001, the race changed its name to the American Solar Challenge and followed a new route from Chicago, Illinois to Claremont, California along much of the old U.S. Route 66. The University of Michigan won the overall race and the Open Class with a total elapsed time of 56 hours, 10 minutes, and 46 seconds, followed by the University of Missouri-Rolla. The University of Arizona team won the Stock Class event.

Overall Standings

2003
The 2003 American Solar Challenge also followed U.S. Route 66. Solar Miner IV from the University of Missouri-Rolla won the race overall, as well as the Open Class, followed by the University of Minnesota's Borealis II. The Stock Class was won by the Prairie Fire GT from North Dakota State University.

Overall Standings

2005
The 2005 race, renamed the North American Solar Challenge, was both the longest and most hotly contested race in the history of the event. The route covered 2494.9 mi, taking the teams from Austin, Texas in the United States to Calgary, Alberta in Canada. The race was won by the Momentum from the University of Michigan with an average speed of 46.2 mph. The University of Minnesota's Borealis III followed in second place less than 12 minutes behind, with an average speed of 46.0 mph. The lead teams often drove 65 mph (the maximum allowed), but were slowed by rain in Kansas and 20 mph headwinds in Canada. Stanford University's Solstice won the Stock Class, followed in second place by the Beam Machine from The University of California, Berkeley.

Overall Standings

2008
The 2008 North American Solar Challenge took place on July 13–22, 2008, mostly along the 2005 route from Dallas, Texas to Calgary, Alberta. The University of Michigan's Continuum won the race with a total elapsed time of 51 hours, 41 minutes, and 53 seconds, marking that school's fifth victory. Ra 7 from Principia College followed in second place.

As many of the top cars were bumping up against the 65 mph race speed limit in the 2005 event, race rules were changed for 2008 order to improve safety and limit performance. Open class cars are now only allowed 6 square meters of active cell area, and upright seating is required for both open and stock class cars. The changes were carried over from the 2007 World Solar Challenge.

Overall Standings

2010
The 2010 race, renamed the American Solar Challenge, ran June 20–26, 2010. The University of Michigan finished in first place, followed by the University of Minnesota's Centaurus II in 2nd place and team Bochum from Germany in 3rd. The race route was entirely within the United States for the first time since 2003.

Overall Standings

2012
Only four teams finished the 2012 American Solar Challenge, a 1600-mile race from Rochester, NY to St. Paul, MN, under solar power alone. The University of Michigan's Quantum won the overall competition, over 10 hours ahead of the 2nd place team. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place teams were only an hour apart from each other. In order: Iowa State University's Hyperion, Principia College's Ra7s, and the University of California, Berkeley's Impulse.

Overall Standings

2014
The 2014 American Solar Challenge reverted to the familiar south–north race route starting in Austin, Texas, and finishing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The University of Michigan's Quantum once again took 1st place, followed by University of Minnesota's Centaurus III. Both teams had brought back their cars from the 2012 event.

Overall Standings

2016
The 2016 American Solar Challenge ran from Brecksville, Ohio to Hot Springs, South Dakota from July 30 to August 6, 2016. ASC partnered with the National Park Service, and the route included stages and checkpoints at 9 national parks, historic sites, or partner properties throughout the Midwest. The University of Michigan's Aurum won the overall competition, by a margin of over 11 hours. In second place was the Dunwoody College of Technology team in partnership with Zurich University of Applied Sciences. The University of Minnesota's Eos I made history as the first Cruiser Class vehicle to ever compete in ASC.

Overall Standings

2018
The 2018 American Solar Challenge ran from Omaha, Nebraska to Bend, Oregon from July 14 to July 22, 2018. ASC partnered with the National Park Service, and the route included stages and checkpoints at historic sights along the Oregon Trail. It was the first to include a Cruiser Class, featuring more practical multi-occupant Solar Vehicles. Western Sydney University's car UNLIMITED 2.0 won the Challenger class competition by a margin of 16 minutes—the closest finish in ASC history—as The University of Michigan failed to defend their title with their car Novum. The University of Bologna won the inaugural Cruiser class competition, and the University of Waterloo became the first Canadian Cruiser Class vehicle to ever compete in ASC.

2020
The 2020 American Solar Challenge was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was held in 2021, with the starting point at Independence, Missouri and the end point at Las Vegas, New Mexico from August 4 to August 7. The team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology took first place in the single-occupant class with Nimbus, with approximately 143 miles more in distance covered compared to second place, held by the University of Kentucky team. Appalachian State took first place in the multi-occupant vehicle class.

2022
The 2022 American Solar Challenge ran from Independence, Missouri to Twin Falls, Idaho from July 9 to July 16, 2022. Similar to the 2018 race, ASC partnered with the National Park Service, and the route traversed through historic sites and landmarks along the Oregon Trail. The team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology took first place in the single-occupant class with their champion vehicle from the previous race, Nimbus. They finished the race with just over 73 miles more than second place finisher Principia College. The winner of the Cruiser class was the University of Minnesota, with Appalachian State University coming in second place.

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep (no consensus), consider renaming this but that is a debate for the talkpage. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:38, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

SpyFi
Delete neologism. Article is dicdef with list of supposed entries in this genre, though I'm struggling to think of many spy films/tv shows that don't include elements of science fiction. Google results are in the mere hundreds, most of which appear to be Wikipedia mirrors. Postdlf 05:01, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, neologism. Agree with nominator. K1Bond007 05:34, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a relatively recently identified subgenre category that has been the subject of at least one book. I think the article needs serious expansion, but I don't see this as a dicdef as it's an article about a genre. Deleting this will create redlinks in a number of other articles (Alias (TV series) for certain). 23skidoo 15:53, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but expand. Agree with 23skidoo. 194.152.245.146 16:05, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * spy films/tv shows that don't include elements of science fiction — How about The Lady Vanishes, North by Northwest, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, The Russia House, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Three Days of the Condor, and The Third Man? ☺ Whilst sources for this particular categorization are thin on the ground, this person and this person both appear to consider "SpyFi" to be a genre, and this reviewer and this reviewer consider Alias to be a specific instance of it.  The CIA considers Spy-Fi to be a simple shorthand for spy fiction, though.  Vote pending. Uncle G 16:28, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete: Zero usage. "Recently discovered" genre?  How does one discover a genre?  Recently minted neologism and a distinction without difference. Geogre 18:10, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. This is the kind of thing I used wikipedia for when I first came on this site. I would fine a (relatively) obscure reference, and would look it up here... and lo-and-behold, the term usually had an article. Removing entries like this reduces wikipedia's strength as a comprehensive resource. Themindset 18:45, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * It appears it should be "Spy-Fi", based on googling. This reveals a lot more usages in established sources (i.e., not Wikipedia mirrors or do-it-yourself websites).  I'm reconsidering...  Postdlf 18:48, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd support moving to this alternate spelling if the article is kept. I rarely see it as "SpyFi", usually it's hyphenated. 23skidoo 21:57, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm still on the fence on this. Looking at a lot of sites on "Spy-Fi", most are refering to Spy fiction, which we already have. The only place I've ever heard of Spy-Fi or SpyFi in which the article defines it is at Wikipedia and its mirrors. At this point I could agree with a redirect, but it still seems like neologism to me. K1Bond007 03:00, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * NN, D. ComCat 22:44, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * NNeologism. Delete. Radiant_ >|< 12:09, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism, original research. Quale 20:37, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I have to say keep, although it should be written as "Spy-Fi". Binadot 02:28, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The book is real, and usage of the word will probably expand in the future.  The article should be more substantial, though.Bjones
 * Keep. I find the tendency of spy TV show script writers (and also authors, of course) to invent gadgets, with total freedom (as in without any knowledge of or reference to actual contemporary technology), to be disturbing. Thus having a term for this sort of thing is useful, because then we can talk about that which is not spy-fi. I think the term spy-fi (or spyfi or SpyFi) is badly chosen, but I can't come up with a better one. --Peter Knutsen, 23th of July 2005.

 * I say KEEP the idea behind the article. But I am open to suggestions for an alternative term for 'SpyFi.'
 * Unsigned comment by 63.98.134.175; IP's only edit
 * Redirect to spy fiction. -Sean Curtin 02:34, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain for now, but I'd like to point out that some of the selections on the list seem like maybe someone's getting too enthusiastic. 24?  Maybe it does have science-fiction elements and I just never heard about them, but I'm pretty sure Danger Man doesn't qualify -- they used some advanced technology, yes, but nothing that actually pushed into the realm of science fiction that I can think of.  They say that when you have a hammer in your hand, every problem looks like a nail, and I suspect that to someone who just discovered a new sub-classification of spy fiction, every spy fiction looks like... -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:01, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

You DO realize that the Wiki software renders dates put within linking brackets according the user's set preferences? (See the "preferences" link at the top of the page.) For example:

 *  December 14  becomes December 14

The two should be rendered identically, meaning that your edits on George VI of the United Kingdom made no actual difference. --Calton | Talk 10:43, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
