Willie Walsh (businessman)

William Matthew Walsh (born 25 October 1961) is an Irish airline executive who is currently the Director General of the International Air Transport Association. Until 2020, he was CEO of International Airlines Group, and had previously been CEO of Aer Lingus and British Airways.

Early life
Walsh was born in Dublin, Ireland. He attended his local secondary school Ardscoil Rís. At age 17 he became a pilot at Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus, joining as a cadet in 1979. He acquired a Master's degree in management and business administration from Trinity College, Dublin during his pilot years, while advancing to become a Boeing 737 captain.

He joined company management in various positions including chief executive of then company subsidiary, Futura from 1998 to 2000. He returned to Aer Lingus in 2000 as Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Career
In October 2001, Walsh was elevated from COO to CEO of Aer Lingus, succeeding Michael Foley, who had resigned following a harassment complaint. The carrier was in financial difficulty. Walsh eliminated 2,000 staff positions and reconfigured Aer Lingus as a low-cost airline. He also withdrew various services like short-haul Business Class and restricted the airline's frequent-flyer programme, TAB.

The company operating profits rebounded, but the cost of the write-offs and redundancies meant that net profitability was not as quick to recover. Not all of Walsh's reforms were successful, such as the outsourcing of aircraft cleaning. The contracting had not been agreed with Aer Lingus unions, which led to large payments to the private contractor while Aer Lingus employees did the cleaning work. A three-day lock-out occurred in 2002 during the peak of the cutbacks.

The management team suggested to the principal shareholder, the Irish Government, a float of Aer Lingus on the stock market. Stock floats are often rewarding to top management and this was opposed by the unions who feared a privatised Aer Lingus would impose even tougher working conditions. The Government eventually turned down the float, and Walsh resigned from the company in January 2005.

The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern subsequently described Walsh's offer of an MBO as "a time when management wanted to steal the assets for themselves through a management buy out, shafting staff interests".

Dermot Mannion, formerly of Emirates, succeeded Walsh as Aer Lingus chief executive officer in August 2005.

He went to British Airways, where he would replace Rod Eddington at the end of his contract. Walsh was hired in May 2005, with a six-month shadowing period to get to know the business before the departure of Eddington in October 2005.

Walsh became CEO of British Airways in October 2005.

The major challenges for the airline industry were exacerbated by various natural events such as snow, fog and volcanic ash. He described the closure of European airspace in April 2010 over worries about the ash plume from an erupting Icelandic volcano as a "gross over-reaction to a very minor risk".

Walsh oversaw the merger of British Airways and Iberia forming a new holding company International Airlines Group (IAG) in January 2011. He also created a Joint Business Agreement with Iberia and American Airlines, meaning the three airlines now market and sell each other's seats and share revenue on trans-Atlantic routes.

On 24 January 2011, Walsh became chief executive of IAG, which is the parent company of BA and Iberia. Both airlines are members of the Oneworld alliance. It was announced on 9 January 2020 that he would be stepping down as CEO in March 2020, however Walsh announced on 16 March that he intended to delay his retirement in order to help the airline trade through the outbreak of COVID-19. Walsh officially retired from IAG in September 2020, and was succeeded by Luis Gallego.

On 24 November 2020, Walsh was appointed as the Director General of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), effective from April 2021.

Recognitions and honours
In March 2014, Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine named Walsh as its 2014 Laureate for Commercial Aviation.

Hulu Selangor District

Hulu Selangor is a district in Selangor, Malaysia. It contains the towns of Serendah, Batang Kali and Kuala Kubu Bharu. Its principal town is Kuala Kubu Bharu. The district is located in the northeastern part of Selangor and borders the state of Perak to the north, Pahang to the east, Sabak Bernam district to the northwest, Kuala Selangor district to its southwest and Gombak district to the south. Selangor River sources from this area, hence giving the district's name.

Geography
Hulu Selangor occupies the north eastern area of Selangor and is bordered by Kuala Selangor district to the west, Perak to the north, Pahang (Bentong district) to the east and Gombak district to the south. The district has a lot of forests and beautiful natural scenery, making it a touristic place. Nearly half of the district is filled with hilly, mountainous terrains and forest reserves. The Titiwangsa runs through the east of this district, which draws the border between Selangor and Pahang along the peaks.

History
The district of Hulu Selangor has existed since the Federated Malay States era, although at that time the name of the district was spelled Ulu Selangor. Hulu Selangor was supposed to be administered by multiple administrative councils, but was united into a single Hulu Selangor Municipal Council by the Selangor State Assembly on January 1, 1977, under Section 2 Local Government Act 1976 (Act 171). Hulu Selangor Municipal Council now has the largest jurisdiction among other local governments in Selangor.

Prior to 1974, before the creation of Gombak District, Hulu Selangor District contained the cities of Rawang, Kuang and Batu Arang. However, after restructuring works which includes the declaration of Kuala Lumpur as a federal territory, Rawang is incorporated into the newly formed district of Gombak leaving its satellite town Serendah with the suburbs of Bukit Beruntung and Sungai Buaya to remain in Hulu Selangor District.

Economy
Hulu Selangor is thriving in the industrial sector, particularly manufacturing, and seemingly is broadening into different parts of the sector. Type of industries that operates in the district are automotive, supplies manufacturing and aerospace. The local and state government are also anticipating more industries and investors to move into the district. Both the local and state governments are advocating Hulu Selangor to be the hub of sustainable manufacturing and clean industries. Private sectors and the government is also working together to further enhance the industries in the area.

A new High-Value Manufacturing Park, a UMW Holdings project, has been under construction in Serendah which is targeted to attract international investors.

A newly proposed Serendah-Port Klang rail line which will bypass KL Central Station and directly connect Serendah to Port Klang, the largest international trading port in Malaysia located along the Strait of Malacca, reducing length and time between the two points, will also accelerate the development in Serendah especially among the industrial and manufacturing sector. The proposed rail line is highly anticipated by the state and federal government and is close to realization.

Other than the industrial sector, the district is also expanding in tourism as one of the main drivers of the local economy. The mountainous area of the district makes it an appealing touristic area. Many from the private sectors have increasingly been opening up new recreational parks across Hulu Selangor. The district is known as a short getaway to nature due to its close proximity to Kuala Lumpur. Other than that, Genting Highlands, famous for its theme parks and by being situated on top of a mountain, is also in close proximity to Hulu Selangor. Located at the peak of Mount Ulu Kali just on the border of Selangor and Pahang, Genting Highlands is one of the attractions of the area. Thus, the town of Batang Kali is designated to be a transit city to Genting Highlands. At the time being, most of Genting Highlands are located in the state of Pahang, the Selangor's side of the border remained mostly undeveloped. This however opens the way for the local and state government to do thoughtful planning for upcoming attractive tourist attractions up there.

Government
Hulu Selangor is administered by Hulu Selangor Municipal Council, the local government.

Elected Officials
Hulu Selangor is represented by two MPs in the Dewan Rakyat of Parliament of Malaysia from two different federal constituencies, the Hulu Selangor constituency and Tanjong Karang constituency.

Civil Aid Service

The Civil Aid Service (CAS) is a civil organisation that assists in a variety of auxiliary emergency roles, including search and rescue operations in Hong Kong. CAS is funded by the Hong Kong Government and its members wear uniforms.

History
Formed in 1952 under the British colonial government of Hong Kong (CAS Ordinance) and modelled after Civil Aid agencies in the United Kingdom.

As well, a youth section, CAS Cadet Corps, adds 3,232 volunteers to the regular 3,634 force.

The concept was introduced during British rule, an organisation also found in Britain.

A dedicated Civil Aid Service rescue training centre, with indoor and outdoor training areas, was opened by the governor on 15 November 1953 at Hawthorn Road, Happy Valley.

The CAS used to be headquartered at Caroline Hill Road in Causeway Bay. It moved to Yau Ma Tei in 2006. The six-storey former CAS Headquarters is slated for demolition by the government.

Duties
The stated duties of the Service are:
 * to provide support to the government regular emergency forces on counter disaster activities, mountain search and rescue, flood rescue, countryside fire protection duties;
 * to provide crowd control and management services in major public functions;
 * to patrol country parks and hiking trails and to assist people in need of help;
 * to stage performances to enhance public attention on major campaigns or activities organised by government departments and non-government organisations;
 * to provide training activities and professional services on mountain safety/rescue for government departments and non-government organisations.

Organisation
CAS are headed by the Commissioner and CAS (Department) by Chief Staff Officer (also Deputy Commissioner).

Underhill Stadium

Underhill Stadium was a stadium in Chipping Barnet, London, that was the home of Barnet Football Club between 1907 and 2013. The club's under-19 team played fixtures there; it was also the training ground of the London Broncos rugby league club, and hosted Arsenal reserve games until 2012. At the time of its closure, the stadium had a capacity of 6,023; it was demolished in 2018, and is now the site of the Ark Pioneer Academy, which opened in 2019. The stadium was famous for its slope from the North to South end.

Barnet played their final game at the stadium on 20 April 2013 with a 1–0 win over Wycombe Wanderers, with Jake Hyde scoring the winner in the 81st minute, and Graham Stack saving a 94th-minute penalty to secure the victory in front of a sell-out crowd of 6,001. Barnet moved out of the ground and started their 2013–14 season campaign at The Hive Stadium in Edgware. Demolition of Underhill began in January 2018.

History
The ground was opened in September 1907 with a match against Crystal Palace which the home side won 1–0. At the time, there were a number of amateur clubs playing in Barnet. When opened, the ground was home to Barnet Alston. Alston merged with Avenue FC (who were known as Barnet FC) in 1912 to become Barnet & Alston FC. After the First World War, the club reverted to the name Barnet FC, which continues today.

To celebrate the 100th year of football at the stadium, the two sides met again in the 2007–08 Pre-season. Palace won this match 3–2.

Since the beginning of the 2013–14 season Barnet have played their home games at The Hive Stadium.

In 2014, the Super League rugby league team London Broncos trained at Underhill and their gym and offices were based there. Their Under-19s side also played matches at the stadium.

Edgware Town played their opening games of the 2014–15 Spartan South Midlands League season at Underhill, while their Silver Jubilee Park ground was refurbished.

In June 2015 the site was sold to the Education Funding Agency. Demolition work began in January 2018 to facilitate the building of the Ark Pioneer Academy, which opened in September 2019.

Development
Barnet opened the 1,016 seater South Stand in 2008 to replace the temporary structure which had stood in its place for over ten years. The stand was first used for the FA Cup victory over Swindon Town in January 2008, just a matter of weeks after work had started.

The Bees also erected a temporary covered structure in the North-East corner of the ground with seated capacity of 240. This was built so away supporters could have the choice between sitting or standing as the stand was adjacent to the away terraced section.

These improvements finally brought Underhill to Football League standards and the capacity was increased to 5,568.

The club announced that work was underway in order to erect four corner floodlights, to be 25 metres high and have a 500 Lux value as opposed to the previous 350. The eight old pylons dating from 1962 were removed. Work was completed prior to the opening pre-season game of the 2010–2011 season against Arsenal and the stadium capacity was again increased to 6,023 as a result.

Stands
Underhill had seven stands. On the bottom end of the ground was the South Stand; the East Terrace was split into three sections, with the home fans allocated the two southernmost parts and the remaining section allocated to away supporters. Adjacent to the East Terrace stood the North East Family Stand with covered seating for away supporters. The tiny North Terrace backed onto Westcombe Drive, where residents could watch the action. The Main Stand was flanked by two smaller stands, the North West Terrace and Family Stand.

After a matchday incident on the East Terrace, the club acted to increase the distance between home and away supporters. Away fans were segregated further towards the north of the terrace. When away support was expected to number over 500, the whole of the North-East section was opened, and the Central section closed to enforce the new segregation arrangements. The situation further highlighted the inadequacy of Underhill as a Football League stadium, even though it met league criteria.

In the South-West Corner of the ground stood the Durham Suite, named after Bees midfielder Kevin Durham who died in 1991. Although not part of the ground, the Pavilion behind the South Stand was owned by the club and acted as the social club for fans.

Record attendance
The record attendance at Underhill was 11,026 against Wycombe Wanderers on 23 February 1952 for an Amateur cup tie.

Duffy's Cut

Duffy's Cut is the name given to a stretch of railroad tracks about 30 mile west of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, originally built for the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad in the summer and fall of 1832. The line later became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Main Line. Railroad contractor Philip Duffy hired 57 Irish immigrants to lay this line through the area's densely wooded hills and ravines. The workers came to Philadelphia from the Ulster counties of Donegal, Tyrone, and Derry/Londonderry to work in Pennsylvania's nascent railroad industry. While their fates are unclear, a theory based on a record from a railroad archive suggests all 57 died of cholera during the second cholera pandemic. The remains of seven have been discovered at the site, and forensic evidence suggests that some may have been murdered, perhaps due to fear of contagion as the pandemic spanned several continents over many years. While this has become the most popular theory, a coroner who studied the bones believes the alleged bullet holes and injuries were actually due to natural decomposition and post-mortem damage. The site is located in East Whiteland Township, Pennsylvania, 1500 ft northeast of the intersection of King Road and Sugartown Road, where a Pennsylvania state historical marker has been placed.

History
Immigrants generally and Irish Catholics specifically were often viewed by the owners and managers of railroad and coal mining companies as expendable components, and by Anglo-Germanic Americans as unwholesome and even dangerous.

Official record of the deaths at Duffy's Cut remained locked in the vaults of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) until Joseph Tripican, a secretary to a former PRR president, removed them after the company's bankruptcy in 1970. In the 1990s, one of Tripican's grandsons, Reverend Dr. Frank Watson, discovered the papers in a file and began to research the history with his brother Dr. William Watson, Professor of History, and adjunct professors Earl Schandelmeier and John Ahtes of Immaculata University.

On June 18, 2004, a Pennsylvania state historical marker was dedicated near the site. The text of the marker reads, "Nearby is the mass grave of fifty-seven Irish immigrant workers who died in August, 1832, of cholera. They had recently arrived in the United States and were employed by a construction contractor, named Duffy, for the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad. Prejudice against Irish Catholics contributed to the denial of care to the workers. Their illness and death typified the hazards faced by many 19th century immigrant industrial workers."

In August 2004, the site began undergoing archaeological excavation by a research team headed by Dr. William Watson from Immaculata University, Rev. Dr. Frank Watson, Earl Schandelmeier, and John Ahtes. The Duffy's Cut Project team consisted of four primary members, William Watson, Frank Watson, John Ahtes (who died in 2010) and Earl Schandelmeier at Immaculata University. On March 20, 2009, the first human bones were unearthed by researchers Robert Frank and Patrick Barry, consisting of two skulls, six teeth and eighty other bones. The researchers announced their discovery on March 24, 2009. Bone expert Janet Monge was included in the analysis of skeletal remains. On March 9, 2012, the remains of five men and one woman from those who died at Duffy's Cut Shanty Town were laid to rest with a religious service at West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. The men and woman were unearthed by researchers from Immaculata University at the location of the Shanty Town near an Amtrak railroad line in Pennsylvania. A sixth body was recovered and identified as John Ruddy from Inishowen, County Donegal; his remains were returned to Ireland for reburial there. In 2013 the remains of Catherine Burns of County Tyrone who died in Duffy's Cut in 1832 were reburied in Ireland in 2015 Excavation of the deep burial site was halted when Amtrak, which owns the land, would not issue permits for additional digging because of the site's proximity to the railroad tracks.

In popular culture
Television
 * Tile Films of Dublin, Ireland produced "The Ghost of Duffy’s Cut", a documentary on the story for broadcast on the Irish State Broadcaster RTÉ. They then went on to produce a follow-up with WNET, "Death on the Railroad". as an episode of the PBS series Secrets of the Dead (season 12, episode 3) first aired May 8, 2013 and RTÉ. In this episode, the claim was made that modern forensic science determined that the 57 Irish railroad workers did not perish as the result of cholera, but instead were murdered. No conclusion was drawn as to motive, although many theories were offered.
 * The American TV Series Secrets of the Underground presented the Duffy's Cut grave story in the first part of the show's episode entitled "America's Buried Massacre" (Season 1, Episode 4).

Print
 * Greenwood Publishing Group published The Ghosts of Duffy's Cut in July 2006.
 * Duffy's Cut is a key setting in Paul Lynch's 2013 novel Red Sky in Morning.
 * In 2018, authors and researchers William E. and J. Francis Watson published the true crime book Massacre at Duffy's Cut: Tragedy and Conspiracy on the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Music
 * Irish musician Christy Moore released a song, written by Wally Page, called "Duffy's Cut" (2009), whose subject matter is the death of the workers on the railway.
 * In March 2011, Celtic Punk band The Dropkick Murphys released a song called "The Hardest Mile", which also deals with the newly discovered evidence that some of the men may have been murdered rather than having died of cholera.
 * Americana Songwriter Rick Shelley released the song "Dead Horse Hollow" in 2017. The song references young John Ruddy and the 56 other Irish immigrants lost to Duffy's cut.
 * In 2012, Celtic Punk band The Kilmaine Saints released “57” as part of their album “Drunken Redemption”. This discusses the anti-Irish sentiment in the 1840s and the fact that some may have been murdered.

Talk:Reciprocal lattice

Untitled
There a request for reciprocal lattice primitive cell from ACF Regionals 2000 answers

If this is another name for a page that already exists could someone more knowledgeable than me make a redirect. Or if not could some make an article.--BirgitteSB 16:29, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Why are the definitions repeated? I'm not sure if I'm qualified, but I think that the introduction could be made clearer. Hithisishal (talk) 03:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

What is the point of the redirect-sentence at the top? It suggests that there is some other article about general dual lattices, but it redirects to itself! --AasmundE 06:52, March 8, 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.241.133.230 (talk)

Formula incorrect?
Aren't the reciprocal lattice vector equations on this page incorrect? I thought (and I have checked some other sources such as http://www.chemsoc.org/ExemplarChem/entries/2003/bristol_cook/reciprocallattice.htm which verify this) that the bottom line didn't change, unlike what is presented on the current page. 212.2.167.48 10:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The formulae are correct. The three expressions in the denominators are equivalent (a scalar triple product).  You can check this by writing out the result component-wise.  The result equals the (signed) volume of the reciprocal lattice primitive cell. WilliamDParker 13:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Lattice means: discrete set of points
Is the extension to arbitrary arrangements of atoms justified? I have not seen this in the literature so far. In my view, a lattice is a discrete set of points, see Lattice (group). This would mean that a nonperiodic arrangement has no reciprocal lattice; also the animated C60 example does not fit here. --Anastasius zwerg (talk) 20:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree that this should be limited to lattices whaich spatially periodic (in normal Euclidean space). Perhaps a new article could be started that linked to some broader view that some wish to take. The c60 image, while beautiful, should go. Hess88 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC).

Somewhat tangentially related to the idea of a lattice being a discrete, periodic structure, I had a question about the formal definition of the reciprocal lattice. Given that the mathematical definition, e^(ik.r)=1, will always be true when the dot product of k and r is zero (ie. they are orthogonal), doesn't any given r vector have an entire, continuous plane of orthogonal k vectors (given that the magnitude doesn't affect the dot product in this case)? The mapping, then would be from a discrete space to a continuous one. It seems to me that, for the formal definition to be rigorous, a further restriction is needed on the definition of the k vectors, similar to what is said later in the article about "discrete mathematics" (that the product of magnitudes of k and r be an integer or something like that). I am relatively new to the topic, so forgive me if I am not explaining myself properly or am completely off the mark. --Chris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.195.78.160 (talk) 08:47, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

 * That is correct, and there is a restriction. The restriction is the periodicity of the lattice basis electron clouds which is used to derive the definition. IMO that's a good question. See Kittel, Intro to solid state physics, 8th ed, beginning of chap 2. --129.6.130.22 (talk) 12:35, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Another point regarding the line "curiously the scalar triple product definition dominates most intro texts" line in the introductory paragraph. It probably follows from the usual derivation procedure used to introduce the interaction between the incident wave and electron clouds, which usually begins by stressing the independence of the primitive lattice vectors and 3D nature of the lattice. So a combined form is mathematically/geometrically astute, but not very intuitive upon a comparison with the original independent primitives presentation. Just an opinion. --129.6.130.22 (talk) 12:35, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Diagrams
It would be beneficial to people new to the concept to have some diagrams of lattices in normal space alongside the reciprocal versions. e.g., in 2d square and hexagonal lattices and some simple 3d, e.g., bcc fcc lattices.Pondermotive (talk) 02:56, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

I agree, it would be very helpful to see an example! I'm particularly interested in an example for a finite discrete lattice. 10:57, 26 January 2012 (EST) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.207.197.185 (talk)

Article is misconceived and poorly written
The subject of lattices (the kind that are discrete subgroups of Euclidean space Rn) is a part of mathematics. That should be the way this article is introduced and basically slanted.

This subject has ample application to chemistry and physics, and naturally these ought to be given significant discussion in the article.

This article gets off to an extremely poor start. In the sentence that begins: "Consider a set of points R constituting a Bravais lattice, and a plane wave defined by:", there appear the letters K and r whose meaning is not stated. This certainly is not a "mathematical" description of anything, since a mathematical description doesn't leave letters undefined!!! This is simply an issue of clarity.

In the section "Generalization of a dual lattice" -- a very strange title for an article whose name is "Reciprocal lattice" -- at least two definitions of "dual" lattice are given, with no mention of how they are connected to one another.

Further, the identification of a (finite dimensional real) vector space V with its dual V* is *not* a question of a choice of "Haar measure" but rather the choice of an inner product on V.

If it is felt necessary for there to be a separate article on the applications of reciprocal lattices to physicis -- fine.

Presentation of examples
The wording of the examples in the section "Reciprocal lattices of various crystals" is a bit problematic- it's phrased midway between homework-set and bad-solved-example, and not much is said beyond "the way to calculate is to calculate in the way to calculate"

For example (the BCC-FCC subsection):

Consider an FCC compound unit cell. Locate a primitive unit cell of the FCC, i.e., a unit cell with one lattice point. Now take one of the vertices of the primitive unit cell as the origin. Give the basis vectors of the real lattice. Then from the known formulae you can calculate the basis vectors of the reciprocal lattice.

I would try to get back to this and rewrite, but I'm currently studying this topic, so it will have to wait until I can understand an actual source better. NoePol (talk) 16:39, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Unquestionably one of the WORST introductions of any technical article in Wikipedia
The first paragraph of the Introduction is this:

"In physics, the reciprocal lattice represents the Fourier transform of another lattice (usually a Bravais lattice). In normal usage, the initial lattice (whose transform is represented by the reciprocal lattice) is usually a periodic spatial function in real-space and is also known as the direct lattice. While the direct lattice exists in real-space and is what one would commonly understand as a physical lattice, the reciprocal lattice exists in reciprocal space (also known as momentum space or less commonly as K-space, due to the relationship between the Pontryagin duals momentum and position). The reciprocal of a reciprocal lattice is the original direct lattice, since the two are Fourier transforms of each other. Mathematically, direct and reciprocal lattice vectors represent covariant and contravariant vectors, respectively."

Is this deliberately intended to be as confusing as possible? In any case, it certainly is.

I hope that someone who knows how to express technical ideas clearly and is knowledgeable about dual lattices will please replace this gobbledegook with clear writing.

It is essential to recognize that proper grammar and correct spelling are nowhere near enough to ensure clear writing.50.205.142.50 (talk) 16:42, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Deleted Proof that the reciprocal lattice of the reciprocal lattice is the direct lattice
I took the liberty and deleted this section, as I went through it and really do not see any understanding that it contributes. That the reciprocal of the reciprocal is the original lattice follows already from the reciprocal lattice being the set of all points $$\mathbf{G}_m$$ that fulfill

 * $$\mathbf{G}_m \cdot \mathbf{R}_n = 2\pi N$$ for $$N \in \mathbb{Z}$$

where $$\mathbf{R}_n$$ are all direct lattice points. Clearly, this expression is symmetric in $$\mathbf{R}_n$$ and $$\mathbf{G}_m$$. Seattle Jörg (talk) 14:47, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Comment: it's zero unless m=n. Add a kronecker delta, this is important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.239.74.44 (talk) 23:05, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think (like me initially) you may have been thrown by the notation. It should be more obvious now (see latest version) why the delta isn't needed. NeilOnWiki (talk) 19:12, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Moved 'Reciprocal space' to become first section
I've moved the Reciprocal space section to the start of the article body, since it's the natural habitat for the reciprocal lattice; hence a modified version can (I think) provide a gentler, more contextualised explanation than the gorier mathematical detail subsequently. My hope is to reword it and extend it, so it's more widely accessible to a scientifically minded reader and not too offensive to a mathematical one. This will take me a few days and meanwhile there are interim drafts in the "Reciprocal lattice" section of my sandbox. NeilOnWiki (talk) 17:48, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

And now I've completed the bulk of my intended rewording, which seems to have grown way beyond what I originally envisaged. The main section title is now Wave-based description; and I've tried to express things more clearly, rather than add anything new. I'm painfully aware of (at least) three short-comings: lack of reliable sources (which I don't have decent access to); such a large section throwing the article out of balance (which I think is best resolved with someone better informed on the topic, who can view and edit the page as a whole); and a diagram would help explain the outlined construction (though the existing diagrams may be enough). I hope this more geometrical wave-based approach will help improve the article; and (as intended) at least be more accessible, while being sound mathematically.

Namibia National Front

The Namibia National Front (NNF) was an alliance of nationalist but moderate parties in Namibia. It was formed in 1977 as a merger of the Namibia National Convention (which had been marginalized after SWAPO's departure from it) and the Namibia National Council.

At the time of its formation NNF consisted of the following groups:
 * Damara Council
 * Damara Executive Committee
 * Federal Party
 * South West African National Union
 * Mbanderu Council
 * Namibia Progressive Party
 * Namibia Independence Party
 * Voice of the People Party

In 1978 some groups left NNF to form Namibia People's Liberation Front.

The NNF contested the elections for the Constituent Assembly of Namibia in 1989 and won one seat which was taken by Vekuii Rukoro.

Turn It into Love

"Turn It into Love" is a single released by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was taken from her debut studio album Kylie (1988). The single was released in December 1988 in Japan only. The B-side was a new song "Made in Heaven", which also served as the B-side to both "Je ne sais pas pourquoi" and "It's No Secret" in other international territories.

The song, written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW), was also released by British singer Hazell Dean the same year, sparking years of speculation about which performer recorded it first. But the track's writer and producer Matt Aitken insists it was written for Minogue, and later given to Dean when it became apparent the Australian singer didn't need another UK single from her debut album.

Kylie performed the song (as part of medleys) during her On a Night Like This Tour and Showgirl Homecoming shows in the 2000s, as well the Mushroom Records 25th birthday concert in Melbourne, Australia in 1998.

Critical reception
A favourite track among Stock Aitken Waterman enthusiasts, the song also featured on the 2005 UK compilation album Stock Aitken Waterman Gold, one of just two tracks included that were not released as a single in the UK. Retrospectively, in 2017, Christian Guiltenane of British magazine  Attitude  described it as "one of SAW's most amazing songs", noting "its exuberant xylophone intro and lilting melody" but with "a melancholy in the verses". In 2021, British magazine Classic Pop ranked the song number 21 in their list of 'Top 40 Stock Aitken Waterman songs', adding that it "is surely one of their finest creations for Minogue". In 2024, the same magazine ranked the song at number 18 in its list of "Top 40 Kylie Minogue songs", describing it as a "breezy, moreish serving of galloping SAW loveliness". In 2023, Robert Moran of Australian daily tabloid newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald ranked the song as Minogue's 38th best song (out of 183), adding that it is the "proof that Kylie's been doing Euro-disco since the very beginning. The chorus is the sort of earworm you'll suddenly find yourself repeating every time you turn a tap, a doorknob, etc".

Hazell Dean version
In September 1988, just prior to Kylie's "Turn It into Love" being released in Japan, British Hi-NRG singer Hazell Dean released her version which was also produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, however, the arrangement was noticeably different from that of Kylie's version.

Background and release
Published reports and notes contained in Dean's own 2012 greatest hits compilation, Evergreen, have claimed that the singer was at PWL Studios recording "Maybe" when she was played a selection of songs being recorded for Kylie's debut album. In this version of events, "Turn It into Love" stood out, and she liked the song so much, she asked Pete Waterman to let her record her own version of the song. Waterman obliged and it was eventually released as the lead into the release of Dean's second Stock Aitken Waterman-produced album Always in October 1988.

However, Dean has refuted these long-repeated claims, insisting she never knew Kylie had recorded the song until the Australian singer's version later came to prominence. Asserting that she thought she was recording a totally original song when given "Turn It Into Love", Dean admitted she was "p-ed off" when she discovered there had been a double up, calling the reuse of the song by SAW "a cop out".

Chart performance
Dean's version of "Turn It into Love" was a moderate hit in Europe. It peaked at number 21 in the UK Singles Chart for the week ending 8 October 1988, number 30 in Swiss singles chart for the week ending 30 October 1988, and number three in Finland on 19 November 1988. On the overall Eurochart Hot 100, it peaked at number 68, and charted for five weeks.

Critical reception
A review in Pan-European magazine Music & Media deemed the song "a very professional disco record with the familiar PWL groove". James Hamilton from Record Mirror praised the extended version, stating this "SAW created attractively trotting $(0-)115 3/4$-$115 2/3$-$115 3/4$ bpm plaintive light swinger is not surprisingly very Kylie Minogue-like (though better sung!), being one of the best song from her LP – a generous move giving it to Hazell as such an obviously hit-bound single".

Same Difference version
Brother-sister duo Same Difference recorded "Turn It into Love" and included it on their debut album which was released on 1 December 2008. It was intended to have been the second single from the duo (and from the album), and was due for release in 2009 but was cancelled. In 1990, Hong Kong band Echo covered this song in Cantonese.

Wink version
"Turn It into Love" was covered by Japanese idol duo Wink as. Released by Polystar Records on 16 November 1988, it was their third single, with Japanese lyrics written by Neko Oikawa. The song was used as the theme of the Fuji TV drama series. The B-side is a Japanese-language cover of Annica Burman's "I en ding ding värld".

The single became Wink's first No. 1 on Oricon's singles chart. It sold over 645,000 copies, making it the duo's biggest-selling single.

Track listing
All lyrics are written by Neko Oikawa; all music is arranged by Motoki Funayama.

North-West Territories Liberal Party

The North-West Territories Liberal Party was a short-lived branch of the Liberal Party of Canada in the North-West Territories.

History
The party existed between 1898 and 1905. In 1905, the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were created from the heavily populated areas of the North-West Territories. The members of the NWT Liberal Party joined the Alberta Liberal Party or the Saskatchewan Liberal Party. With almost no voting population in the remaining parts of the North-West Territories, its political parties disbanded when the Government of Canada returned to its former policy of appointing members of the Territories' legislative assembly The assembly went back to the consensus model of government.

The consensus model of government that had been used prior to the election of 1898 had its influences in the party system: Conservative leader and Government Leader Frederick W. A. G. Haultain appointed two Liberals to his cabinet and one Conservative, even though they formed the opposition, from 1898 to 1905. This led Conservatives to accuse the government of being a "grit hive", after the election of 1902. To appease party supporters, Haultain appointed one Liberal and two Conservatives to the cabinet.

The Calgary Herald attacked the Territorial Liberals in October 1902, after they held a convention in which they failed to adopt policies towards the creation of a provincial government. This set off a bitter editorial war against the Liberal and Conservative media.

Robert Brett was the Leader of the party from the beginning until, he made a surprise move to drop out of the race just days before the election of 1902. Donald H. McDonald, filled his place, and became leader of the opposition, until the provinces were created in 1905.

Leaders of the Party
 * Robert Brett (1897–1902)
 * Donald H. McDonald (1902–1905)

Modern era
Under the current consensus government, political parties are not currently recognized in Northwest Territories law, but a few scattered candidates have run in recent elections claiming to represent the Liberal party. The most notable of which is Lynda Sorenson, Northwest Territories MLA from 1979 - 1983. There are plans to reestablish a Northwest Territories Liberal Party in time for elections in 2015.

Mysterious Ways (TV series)

Mysterious Ways is a television science fiction drama series. It premiered on July 24, 2000 on NBC, before being aired intermittently on NBC through August 2001. The series also began airing on PAX TV in August 2000, ultimately moving to PAX TV after the series was dropped by NBC. It was produced in-house by Paxson Entertainment, in association with Lionsgate Television and CTV. It was cancelled in 2002 after two seasons.

Plot
The series focuses on the search for explanations of, and evidence for, seemingly miraculous phenomena. This search is carried out by the protagonist Declan Dunn (Adrian Pasdar). Declan is a professor of anthropology at the Northern University of Oregon and is often compared with Indiana Jones due to his energetic enthusiasm for solving a mystery. His passion for miraculous events has its roots in a self-experienced mischance of being caught in an avalanche and getting out alive. He considers this to be miraculous and attributes it as the turning point in his life. In several episodes he makes references to this event and the impact it had on his life.

Always ready to help out with the research, though sometimes they appear slightly reluctant, are Declan's close friends Dr. Peggy Fowler (Rae Dawn Chong), a psychiatrist at a nearby hospital, and Miranda Feigelstein (Alisen Down), a physics graduate student and Declan's research assistant. Peggy is the most levelheaded of the three and is generally the one presenting the mundane alternatives to Declan's theories. Her so-called "rational explanations" often provide no explanation whatsoever, e.g. "It was just a freak occurrence".

Often being assigned to carry out tests of various substances, or operating a range of instruments, is Miranda. She is the second skeptic besides Peggy, with a somber and introvert personality, sometimes with moments of joking banter or sarcastic comments. In the episodes "The Ties That Bind" (1.08) and "Free Spirit" (2.14) another, more open side of her is shown before her social peers, if only temporarily. Being the quiet personality, Miranda is sometimes somewhat of a mystery even to her best friends.

In many cases the episodes conclude with a rational explanation being seemingly validated, then disproven at the last minute; thus leaving the question of paranormal activity open once more.

Cast

 * Adrian Pasdar as Declan Dunn, the main character of the series. Declan is a Professor of Anthropology at Northern University in Oregon. While skiing, he was caught up in an avalanche. He was left for dead, but miraculously made it out alive. Ever since this incident, Declan has dedicated a large part of his free time to investigating miracles that occur around or to certain individuals in the hopes that it will bring some perspective to the miracle that saved his life. He is assisted in his investigations by his close friends Dr. Peggy Fowler, a psychiatrist, and Miranda Feigelstein, Declan's assistant. Both of these women are strong skeptics and, although they rarely turn down helping Declan, they always attempt to use science to explain the events that surround the miraculous phenomena. Declan has a wry sense of humor that he uses to make jokes even in the face of strange phenomena.
 * Rae Dawn Chong as Dr. Peggy Fowler, a smart and open psychiatrist who helps victims of strange and unusual events cope with their feelings. Although having a relatively cheerful personality, Peggy is still haunted by her husbands' death and because of this event, no longer believes in miracles but in people. Despite her beliefs, she nearly always helps Declan whenever he requests it, her connections at the hospital being a great help to Declan and his investigations. She often attempts to disprove Declan's theories and is confused and elated when she cannot explain the miracles she witnesses.
 * Alisen Down as Miranda Feigelstein, assistant to Declan and physics graduate student, Miranda is sarcastic, intelligent and slightly unimpressed. Like her friend Peggy, Miranda has little belief in miracles and nearly always has a contrary position to Declan's theories. Despite this, Miranda is very loyal to Declan and always has time to listen to him and his theories. Their relationship is very special, Declan seemingly being the only one to bring Miranda out of her shell.

Production
Mysterious Ways was created by Peter O'Fallon, who wanted a science-fiction drama that was family-friendly and allowed him to explore humanistic themes. U2's song of the same name inspired the series' title.

For O'Fallon, the series' move from NBC to PAX TV was a good development, since it allowed for total creative freedom.

Broadcast
The show's first eight episodes aired in the United States on NBC starting July 2000. The show returned in January 2001 and later on July of the same year, before being pulled in August due to poor ratings. Meanwhile, PAX TV, a channel NBC had a 32% interest in, began broadcasting the show in August 2000, airing through the summer months. PAX would become the show's home for the rest of its run, until September 2002.

The series had seen success internationally, even after its cancellation. It currently airs in syndication on VisionTV in Canada.

Hi, I'd like to see some discussion on whether the 7th council of Nicea opened the door for idolatry within the church. Lord willing, this will be a part of my doctoral dissertation.

 * There was no 7th council of Nicaea (so far anyway). If you're aiming for a Ph.D. with this sort of sloppiness, the Lord help you.  Also, it is customary to sign your contributions to the talk page. Freederick 16:48, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Hadrian?
The article says:

...the patriarch sent a full account of the proceedings of the council to Hadrian, who had it translated.

Now emperor Hadrian, to whose page the text links, died (as a stalwart pagan) in 138 AD; the council met in 787 AD; what gives?

Was there a (major!) miracle involved, or was it actually Pope Adrian I to whom the text was sent? I have edited the text, provisionally, as I can only guess what the author meant. Freederick 16:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Pope Adrian I is also know as Hadrian I. The same applies to later popes with the same name. See Hadrian - the page must have been updated since last checked, since it indicates this point. --Samuelel (talk) 11:08, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Strike the "A"
"Nicea" is significantly more common than "Nicaea." Why not employ it here (and for the first council too)? Doctordido 15:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

 * "Cesar" is more common than "Caesar". But it is a modern Americanism too far to transliterate Νικαια  --Rumping (talk) 01:26, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

POV
The assertion that the Second Council of Nicaea was the Seventh Ecumenical Council (and even that there even was a Seventh Ecumenical Council) is POV and must be edited. Deusveritasest (talk) 04:04, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Possibly. Do you have any reliable sources that question this? The current version is sourced to Ostrogorsky, one of the most respected treatments of the Byzantine period. Even if you had such a source: Your version was not acceptable from a language point of view. If there is non-fringe doubt that it really "is" the 7th ecumenical council, I would suggest "is accepted as the 7th ... by ...", possibly with a footnote listing dissenters. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 12:17, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Whether a Council was Ecumenical or not is not simply a matter of objective reality of what people call it, but actual subjective considerations of the quality of the council. Ostrogorsky is simply not the judge of whether ANY council is ecumenical or not.

 * Those who object? Ask ANY of the 75 million Oriental Orthodox Christian. Point proven. Now let's move on. Deusveritasest (talk) 02:14, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The final paragraph is incorrect. The Sunday celebrated by the Eastern Orthodox on the 1st Sunday of Great Lent ("Sunday of Orthodoxy") is Constantinople 843, which restored iconography after yet another period of iconoclasm.  Emperess Theodora (acting as regent for her son) called that council, with Patriarch Methodius (or Methodios)of Constantinople presiding.  The Synodikon of that council (843) is the center-piece of the special celebration that day.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.188.43.128 (talk) 10:46, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Wrong image-right assertion
The image deleted was incorrect. It is a representation of first (First Ecumenical) not the second (Seventh Ecumenical) council of Nicaea. See the article Arius in Catalan, Spanish, French and Russian Wikipedia. The man on the earth is condemned Arius. Just right of the cross is the emperor Constantine I. If it were Constantine VI, his mother Irene should had been also depicted.

Whether a council was ecumenical or not, depends on the acceptance of the Churches. Both Greek-Orthodox and Roman-Catholic Church accept it and also some Protestant Churches. See Edward Gibbon, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, 1782, revised 1845, Chapter XLIX: Conquest Of Italy By The Franks. -Part III : «But the decrees of a general council [of Hieria] could only be repealed by a similar assembly [of Nicaea]» and «In the West, Pope Adrian the First accepted and announced the decrees of the Nicene assembly, which is now revered by the Catholics as the seventh in rank of the general councils» and, by all means, by the Orthodox Church.---Pagaeos (talk) 23:55, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Repudiation by John Calvin
I've added a section on the repudiation by John Calvin, of the second council of Nicaea, because it's historically informative and intellectually interesting.

Acceptance of council
None of the oriental orthodox churches have accepted Nicaea II,and unsurprisingly, no sources are cited for this “partial” acceptance. 142.181.49.206 (talk) 20:41, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Father Mathew Bridge

Father Mathew Bridge is a road bridge spanning the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland, which joins Merchants Quay to Church Street and the north quays. It occupies the approximate site of the original, and for many years the only, Bridge of Dublin, dating back to the 11th century.

History
The site of the bridge is understood to be close to the ancient "Ford of the Hurdles", which was the original crossing point on the Liffey and gives its name (in Irish) to the city of Dublin.

At the turn of the first millennium (c. 1014), the first recorded Dublin Liffey bridge was built at this point. Possibly known as the Bridge of Dubhghall, this basic wooden structure was maintained and rebuilt over several centuries (from early Medieval to Viking to Norman times).

These rebuilds included a Norman bridge (sanctioned by King John) in the early 13th century. This collapsed however in the late 14th century and in 1428, the Dominicans of Ostmantown Friary built the first masonry bridge in Dublin on the same spot. Known as Dublin Bridge, Old Bridge, or simply The Bridge, this four arch structure had towers at either end, and shops, housing, an inn and a chapel were built on its supports. In 1312, Geoffrey de Morton, Mayor of Dublin 1302–3, was reprimanded for building a house without permission on the bridge. It was he who began building the towers, which were completed by his son-in-law John de Grauntsete, who later built St. Mary's Chapel on the Bridge.

For much of its 390-year life span, The Bridge carried all pedestrian, livestock and horse-drawn traffic across the river, and (as late as 1762) its tolls and chapel were still in use.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Dublin Bridge was replaced by a three-span, elliptical arch stone bridge. Designed by George Knowles (who also designed O'Donovan Rossa Bridge and Lucan Bridge), the bridge was opened in 1818 as Whitworth Bridge, being named for Charles Whitworth, 1st Earl Whitworth, the then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

As with many other Dublin bridges (particularly those named for British peers), the bridge was renamed following the establishment of the Irish Free State as Dublin Bridge in the 1920s.

In line with another, later, Dublin tradition of naming bridges for temperance campaigners, the bridge was renamed again in 1938 for Father Theobald Mathew (the Apostle of Temperance), who was born at Thomastown near Golden, County Tipperary.

Philosophical Research Society

The Philosophical Research Society (PRS) is an American nonprofit organization founded in 1934, by Manly P. Hall, to promote the study of the world's wisdom literature, philosophy, comparative religion, mysticism and metaphysics. PRS is located at 3910 Los Feliz Blvd in Los Angeles. Hall believed the accumulated wisdom of mankind is the birthright of every individual and founded the facility to serve the general public to this end.

As of 2024, its president is John Pillsbury, who replaced the third president Greg Salyer, PhD in 2022. Dennis Bartok is the current executive director. Salyer was a graduate of Emory University's Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts. Following Mr. Hall's death in 1990, Obadiah Harris, Ph.D. served as the second president and in 2001 opened the University of Philosophical Research, an accredited online university offering graduate programs in consciousness studies and transformational psychology and an undergraduate degree in liberal studies. PRS closed this university in 2019 in favor of offering non-degree courses and certificates with lower costs and greater access to seekers of wisdom. PRS maintains a research library of over 50,000 volumes, and also sells and publishes metaphysical and esoteric books, mostly those authored by Hall. In 2018 PRS opened the Hansell Gallery to exhibit works of art that express the concept of wisdom in all of its forms. PRS offers a variety of events and lectures throughout the year that incorporate art, cultural studies, literature, philosophy, mythology, among others disciplines.

Its headquarters are in Los Angeles, California. The building at 3910 Los Feliz Boulevard in the Los Feliz neighborhood was designed by architect Robert Stacy-Judd and designated as a Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument.

 * Hi Kevin,

 * Saw them while I was at Recent Changes page. Thanks for your suggestions on programming, I did try pick up some languages myself (though a bit rusty now). :D I'm still in junior college at this time - it's quite a few years away more for me before entering Uni, since I have to undergo conscription for two years as well.

Orientalism
Please explain your cleanup tag on Orientalism. And no, it is not a prerequisite for writing on this topic that one should have read the book, since the topic is not about the Said book, but about the concept and the tradition. However, if you have any objections to the way the book is characterised in the subsection devoted to it, please indicate them. Otherwise the cleanup tag is rather difficult to make sense of and I will remove it. Paul B 09:30, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I did not write the section on the book, but I have certainly read the book. I added the section on criticisms of the book. The book-summary section seems to me to give a broadly accurate account of Said's arguments. Saying something is "woefully inadequate" without indicating how, is itself woefully inadequate. You still remain mysteriously quiet about just what it is that is wrong with the summary. The tenor of your comments suggest that you believe Said's book to be authoritative in some way, but seem unable or unwilling to suggest just how it has been misrepresented. I suggest you read some of the reviews written at the time, or more recent commentaries on Said's model of "orientalism" . Paul B 09:23, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Well I haven't practiced my swinging, so I'll have to pass on the contest. But I still think you miss the central point. The article is not about the book. The book is a particular intervention in the tradition, one that is clearly important enough to single out, but not to be treated as "gospel" in any sense. Perhaps more on Said's arguments would be desirable. Perhaps more on Lewis's criticisms would be more pertinent. Perhaps we could have more on the art, or more on the details of western scholarly commentary on eastern cultures, or more on eastern views on the west. Perhaps and perhaps. I can only assume that the real reason for singling out the book called "Orientalism" is an assumption that this particular book is central to what the article should be about, partly because the names are the same. And that's essentially my problem with the cleanup notice. Paul B 21:40, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Please - I do not think you have earned the right to tell me what is "not a very good attitude to have on Wikipedia". I have as much right "unilaterally" to remove the tag as you did to add it. I was behaving no more unilaterally than you were. There was no sign whatever of a wider "community" who agreed with you. I removed the tag for the following reasons:

1. A cleanup tag is inappropriate. It is mainly used for articles that are badly written or otherwise chaotic. I don't think even you thought that this was the case. 2. A cleanup tag refers the reader to the talk page for the reasons why a cleanup tag has been added. You added nothing to talk page to explain the tag. Is this "a very good attitude to have on Wikipedia"? 3. Unnecessary cleanup tags make Wikipedia look bad. They give the impression that the articles are poor and unprofessional. They should only be there when an article really does need to be cleaned up - in order to show that Wikipedians are aware of inadequacies. 4. When I asked you why you had added it I got no clear explanation. You could tell me nothing that was actually wrong with the article, and resorted to the, in my view bizarre, argument that you believed that if someone read Said's book "more closely" then they would come up with a different reading of it than the authors of the article. Now, either you have read it closely and can say what is wrong with the account or you have not. You cannot reasonably claim that some other mystery person will, if they read it, come up with an argument that agrees with your inexpressible intuitions.

I think a request for section-expansion would have been far more appropriate than a cleanup tag. However, what I am going to do is put in a Peer Review request, that is a request for Wikpedians to suggest improvements. Paul B 15:22 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

 * Linkspro, your language is wholly inappropriate. It is clear that you are resorting to the last refuge of insult. I have explained my thinking on the subject as clearly as I can and I have taken appropriate action by requesting Peer review. Here's a link to the relevant page . I note that the only content-related addition so far has been to emphasise criticism of Said's text. Perhaps other editors will respond differently. Paul B 23:55 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

 * Since your language is becoming increasingly childish, I see no advantage in further discussion with you. Your arguments were not remotely "exact", they were nowhere to be seen. You were uncompromising only in the sense that you you folded your arms and refured to budge. If you think that stubbornness is the same as integrity that I suspect you are mistaken. If I am "delusional" then I suppose User:TheoClarke and User:Pmanderson must be too. In your first reply to my query you wrote "I think most everyone who has read the book would agree with this judgement." I've provided you will links to reviews to indicate otherwise. The above users evidently think otherwise. You have provided no argument at all that is not vague and unspecific. Paul B 10:13 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Explanation
Would you like to explain this edit? That article you linked to is wholly inappropriate! Leonardo 18:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Russell Baze

Clarification
Russell Baze

Is one of the most talented jockeys in the history of horse racing. His work ethic is unbeatable and his talent unstoppable.

The statements in the article about Baze being the "leading jockey" in the United States need to be clarified. He might be leading jockey by wins, but he is not leading jockey by earnings. In fact on the front page of equibase.com (the official statistics source for U.S. thoroughbred racing), there is a listing entitled "North American Racing Leaders" for horses/jockeys/owners/trainers for 2006, and they are ranked by EARNINGS, not wins. (Baze is 24th as of Nov 17, 2006). So this needs to be clarified in the article. 18:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
