The result of the debate was merge --Kbdank71 13:54, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

This should be deleted and its contents merged back into Category:U.S. Army officers. I could be wrong, but I think this is unnecessary subcategorization. Presently we have Category:U.S. Army soldiers for enlisted men and women and Category:U.S. Army officers, which is only further divided by Category:U.S. Army generals. The rank of general sits far apart from the other officer ranks in terms of the public's perception of its notability. However, someone who isn't actually in the Army or a military historian likely isn't going to know or care much whether someone was a colonel, captain, or major, so it doesn't make much sense to classify them that way. It will only unnecessarily hinder navigation. Or maybe we want this level of specificity in this area? What's the benefit? Postdlf 22:19, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge - The problem is, most Colonels have been Majors, even Captains, Lieutenants, NCOs, enlisted men - and some go on to be Generals. Even distinguishing between enlisted men and officers lays groundwork for unnecessary duplication; to be more specific about ranks will simply flood the place with multiple listings in a relatively confined occupational category - U.S. Army Personnel.
 * Merge back and delete. Listifying may be useful if people want ranks separated. Radiant_ >|< 08:31, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge back into Category:U.S. Army officers. --Kbdank71 13:14, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into three new subcategories: U.S. Army general officers (generals), U.S. Army field officers (majors, colonels), U.S. Army company-grade officers (captains, lieutenants, and the now obsolete ensign, subaltern and cornet). The officer in question should be categorized by the highest rank held, including brevetcies.  --Jpbrenna 18:36, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Agree, delete. Pavel Vozenilek 22:39, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'll erase the NPOV stuff. That was added after I created the category, and I don't like it either. --Zpb52 05:30, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The term itself is POV, not just the descriptive text.  Postdlf 05:33, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The term is not POV. That's what they are called and have been called since they were built. It's not a negative connotation, it's the accepted description. --Zpb52 05:35, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Could you source that, and reference sources for the inclusion of each entry? Even if the concept/style itself merited an article (which is debatable), that still wouldn't establish that there was or could be any objective agreement as to which stadiums could be objectively classified as such.  I also have a hard time believing that the application of "cookie cutter" to anything but baking equipment could not have negative connotations.  Postdlf 05:39, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Going to that much trouble is not worth it. Negative connotation or not, it's the accepted description for them all, and I believe the info paragraph at the beginning cites what kinds of stadiums are included. Stadia built in the 1960s and 1970s that were designed for usage of multiple sports teams with similar field layouts. Just by looking at the stadia in question, it is obvious which ones they are. Just search on Google for "cookie cutter stadiums" and you'll see how accepted the term is. --Zpb52 05:50, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Most of the use of the term I found online was either as a pejorative or with scare quotes. "Cookie cutter" implies that all the stadiums are identical when, in fact, they all have varying degrees of unique character. Also, while there were some stadiums generally agreed to qualify as "cookie cutter," (e.g. Shea Stadium) there were also a lot of borderline cases. I don't think Wikipedia should be in the business of deciding what is or is not a cookie cutter stadium.--Polynova 06:56, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * We don't have to "decide", the sources tell us which ones qualify. Hey, another epiphany at this late (or early) hour:  Would it make sense to categorize all the ballparks, or maybe to provide an "example" list of them in the Stadiums writeup?  Such as: Wooden (Hilltop Park), Classic (Yankee Stadium), Multipurpose (Shea Stadium), Modern Classic (Dodger Stadium), Retro (Oriole Park at Camden Yards).  Or does anybody other than baseball fanatics really care about this whole bloody subject anyway?  Wahkeenah 07:18, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * What if we simply changed the title to Multipurpose Stadiums or Multipurpose Stadia. Would that be a good settlement. I believe in this category and I want it to survive because these stadia share many, many similarities and deserve to be grouped together on Wiki somehow. --Zpb52 05:52, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * While this would be an improvement, I'm not sure this is a clearly definable category. Almost every stadium ever built is capable of multiple purposes and more than one sport. --Polynova 06:56, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * You've got a point. But you can distinguish between ballparks (such as Wrigley Field or Anaheim Stadium) in which football was added after the fact; or football stadiums (such as Pro Player Stadium) where baseball was added after the fact; and true multipurpose stadiums such as the Metrodome. However, this does open a can of worms. Some of the "classics" such as the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium were designed with baseball in mind, but featured football frequently and very early on. Yet few if any call them "cookie cutters" or "concrete donuts". Is a puzzlement! Wahkeenah 07:24, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Wow, a grand total of 5 users so far. Obviously a hot-button issue. >:) A category called "Multipurpose Stadiums" (let's try to avoid the excessively-bookish term "Stadia") which cites "also known derisively as 'cookie-cutters', 'concrete donuts' or, more politely, 'superstadiums'", could be sufficient.  Maybe those slangy terms could be in the Baseball jargon page if they're not there already.  And it's not difficult to objectively classify them.  Just look at their aerial photos.  I see that Zpb52, who originated the article, took out some of my comments.  I put them back with a bit of balance, pointing out that they weren't much badmouthed initially.  It was when purists started to look back at what they used to have (and forgot some of their shortcomings, like posts, cramped seats, bad sightlines and shortage of parking), that the criticisms began to roll in. Wahkeenah 06:47, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

"Multipurpose stadiums" would also broaden the category to include the Metrodome, Exhibition Stadium and a number of others. Then you could say "some of them", i.e. the ones that were circular and all seemed to look alike, "have been widely derided as 'cookie cutters' or 'concrete donuts'". I like the Hebner quote. Long before he said it, I was at a game in Cincinnati and was walking around the concourse. Looking toward the plate from left field, I had the sudden deja vu that I could just as well have been in St. Louis. They looked identical except for the color of the seats. Wahkeenah 06:53, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename as suggested. Radiant_ >|< 08:33, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Multipurpose stadiums -Splash 22:51, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, come on. Have you ever actually heard someone in the sports world say that word out loud? I doubt it. Wahkeenah 18:05, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * In fact, checking my dictionary, I have pretty well convinced myself that "stadia" as a plural of the type of structure called a "stadium" is incorrect usage. Ify you're referring to the measurement called a "stadium", then it would be correct. Wahkeenah 22:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I have just checked the OED Online (needs a subscription), and it says "...an enclosed area for sporting events equipped with tiers of seats for spectators. (The pl. stadiums is usual in this sense.) ". So I stand corrected, and have amended my vote. -Splash 22:51, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Hmmm...First off, of course this is a keep, 'cookie cutter' refers to the style, not the puropse, of the stadium. Try this link for a nice description of the stadiums. But, I see how it can become quite arbitrary as to which stadiums qualify. I don't know if Shea Stadium or the SkyDome are cookie-cutters. I see them as transition stadiums, with cookie-cutter elements but leaning more towards the previous/subsequent style. And where is Metrodome and Olympic Stadium? And so forth...I'll take it to the discussion page.  -maclean25 04:17, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, obviously "cookie cutter" refers to the style. No one is saying these facilities are for making cookies. The problem is that this is not an architectual term; it's a term used as a criticism of a perceived sameness and lack of originality of these buildings. The latter part of your comment gets to the other problem: there's no general agreement about what is and isn't a "cookie cutter stadium." --Polynova 15:08, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * In fact, the user Zpb52 (who originated the category) is currently un-marking some that I had marked as cookie cutters. So there is disagreement over what the term actually means... and I suspect that a very strict definition of the term will leave too few items on the list to make it really meaningful. I have come around to the notion that there should be a broader category "multi-purpose" stadiums, with a subcategory indicating that a certain type are called "cookie cutters" for various reasons. Wahkeenah 17:20, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * After giving it some thought to this I have come to believe that perhaps this would not make such a good category. This is because of the difficulty of labelling entire stadiums as 'cookie cutters'. I will retain my 'keep' though just to be difficult. Instead, I support the creation of an article on the subject. An article that discusses raison d'etre and architectural (and other) features of the cookie-cutter baseball stadiums. And what is with the 'POV' votes? The term may have been POV 20 years ago but today it is the most commonly used term for these stadiums (hence this debate, I guess).  -maclean25 01:00, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. What's the point of categorizing it any further than "Stadiums"?  --Kbdank71 17:38, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Now, that's a dumb question. Look, the category was originally started to link together only the true "Cookie Cutter" stadiums. The ones that are rounded (or rounded square), enclosed, built in the late 1960s or early 1970s, and share many of the same design techniques: Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, Busch Stadium, Cinergy Field, Kingdome, Reliant Astrodome, Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, Three Rivers Stadium, and Veterans Stadium. All of these were built for the purpose of hosting an MLB & NFL team (with the exception of Busch Stadium, in which case the stadium was retrofitted during construction to allow the football Cardinals to play there) and to provide an adequate place to play at a low construction price. I would not classify Stade Olympique in this category because it was built with the primary purpose of hosting the 1976 Olympic Games and later was retrofitted for the Montreal Expos and Canadian Football League play. I also would not qualify Shea Stadium (built too early, and not fully enclosed), Metrodome (shares none of the same design techniques), or McAfee Coliseum (not fully enclosed). Rogers Centre was built nearly 20 years after the rest of these (not to mention its unique design), and Tropicana Field isn't even capable of hosting a football game. I'll leave Qualcomm Stadium in the category, although it was not originally enclosed. I hope this clears it up a bit. --Zpb52 17:40, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Nope, doesn't clear it up a bit at all. In fact, I stopped reading after you called my question dumb.  You might want to try reading WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA if you are truly interested in "clearing things up" for people. --Kbdank71 18:07, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Shea was intended to be fully enclosed, they just never got around to doing it. If they had, and put the dome on it, thousands of drunken Mets fans would have perished when it collapsed. Meanwhile, I see no practical difference between Skydome and Kingdome other than Skydome's roof can open. And you have now pared the list down to 10 items, so I question the value of a separate category. It's also worth pointing out that "cookie cutter" is not a neutral term, it's a disparaging term. Maybe we need a similar term for all these "retro" ballparks that have popped up in the last dozen years or so and which also all look similar, only they are generally square instead of round. Maybe "retro chics"? "Camden Yardsticks?" "Rice Krispie Treats?" Wahkeenah 17:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * That's actually a good idea. I think we actually do need to categorize all these 1990s/2000s baseball stadiums built with "retro" in mind. Zpb52 18:20, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete POV. Don't replace. Most stadia have been used for more than one thing, so it isn't a helpful category under any name. Particularly inappropriate outside North America. CalJW 21:52, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename, cookie cutter stadium is bias and POV, however changing it to Multipurpose Stadiums would erase that as it is an accepted NPOV term for a particular stadium type. Gateman1997 00:02, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * How about going with Multipurpose Stadiums and including a reference that "Some of them were criticized as 'cookie cutter stadiums', due to their circular nature and the claim (or conventional wisdom) that they all looked alike." Then explicitly list all 10 or so that Zpb52 has restricted the list to. Then all the bases (!) would be covered. Wahkeenah 00:19, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * What if we name it Shared MLB/NFL Stadiums in order to limit the category to the United States. Zpb52 00:33, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * I suppose that would be acceptable. However I don't see why we should limit the category. Afterall not all multipurpose stadiums are only MLB/NFL. For instance RFK is MLS/MLB, and it should be in the category.Gateman1997 03:03, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * RFK has hosted both MLB & NFL games. They didn't have to be there at the same time is what I'm saying, (although the Sens & the 'Skins were there at the same time in the 60s). Are there any other MLS/MLB stadiums? I can't think of any. Matter of fact, the only stadiums that remain that currently host both MLB & NFL games are: Metrodome, McAfee Coliseum, and Dolphins Stadium. But if you include all the stadiums that formerly hosted both MLB & NFL games, the list grows much thicker. Zpb52 06:07, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * You can make a distinction between arenas that were initially intended for just one purpose (such as Wrigley Field or Dolphins Stadium) and those that were intentionally designed for multi-purpose. In fact, Green Cathedrals tried to classify every ballpark ever built. They are many and varied: Racetrack, Wooden, Classic, Transitional, Olympic, Super-Stadium, etc. Wahkeenah 09:09, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

 * REPLY With all due respect, you're reasoning is ridiculous. We're not talking about two different video game franchises here. Biohazard is simply Japanese name for Resident Evil, just like Rockman is a Japanese name for Mega Man or Akumajo Dracula is a Japanese name for Castlevania. Nothing more. If an article that applies only to a Japanese version or product, then it will be simply categorized under Resident Evil, the same way Dracula X is categorized as a Castlevania game.

Comments
I deleted the text "a work that became a standard manual of syntax for over 1,000 years." because it contradicts my source (Robins 1967, p 30). KCargill 06:10, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Is the contemporary Koine pronounciation guide completely valid? [djoˈny.sjos ho ˈtʰraks]? Personally I say [djoˈny.si.os ho ˈtʰraks], the first i becomes a j but not the second Δγιο-νύ-σι-ος. Might be personal idiosyncracy, just a note.
 * Thanks for that correction. I would elide the koine guide. Average readers will twig how to pronounce Dionysius Thrax. It's just clutter.

 * By the way, I put 'perhaps' in the substitutive line (with new source) because that evidently counts D.X's treatise to the 2nd century BCE, whereas, if Di Benedetto et al., are correct, the dating down to the 14th century (3-4 cent CE onwards would be, precisely, a millennium.Nishidani (talk) 13:38, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Missouri Tigers

The Missouri Tigers intercollegiate athletics programs represent the University of Missouri, located in Columbia. The name comes from a band of armed Union Home Guards called the Fighting Tigers of Columbia who, in 1864, protected Columbia from Confederate guerrillas during the American Civil War.

The University of Missouri (often referred to as Mizzou or MU) is the flagship institution of the University of Missouri System. Mizzou is a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and is the only NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision program in Missouri. Its wrestling program, the only wrestling program sponsored by an SEC member school, competes as an affiliate member of the Big 12 Conference.

Prior to joining the SEC in 2012, Missouri was a charter member of the Big 12 Conference, which was created with the merger of the former Big Eight Conference and four schools from the former Southwest Conference (one of these schools, Texas A&M, joined the SEC with Missouri in 2012), and which began athletic competition in the 1996–97 academic year. Missouri competed in the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association starting in 1907, which officially changed its name to the Big Eight Conference in 1964.

Baseball
The first Missouri Tigers baseball team was in 1868. The first recorded season was in 1891, when the Tigers went 2–2. The Tigers won the National Championship in 1954. The presence of former Missouri Tiger baseball players in professional baseball continues to grow each year.

Former MU head coach Tim Jamieson has seen 40 players in his 13-year tenure sign pro contracts. Notable Tiger baseball alumni include Tim Laudner, who played for the 1987 World Champion Minnesota Twins, and Phil Bradley, who played for several teams in the 1980s and early 1990s, and former Major Leaguer Ian Kinsler. In 2006, pitcher Max Scherzer was selected in the first round with the 11th overall pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Scherzer went on to win the Al Cy Young Award with the Detroit Tigers in 2013. In 2008, pitcher Aaron Crow was picked 9th overall by the Washington Nationals.

Men's basketball
The men's basketball program has produced several NBA players, including Michael Porter Jr., Anthony Peeler, Doug Smith, Jon Sundvold, Steve Stipanovich, Kareem Rush, Keyon Dooling, Linas Kleiza, Thomas Gardner, Jordan Clarkson and DeMarre Carroll. The Tigers were regularly a national power under Norm Stewart, whose tenure spanned four decades but which failed to include a Final Four appearance despite numerous conference championships. The team advanced to the Elite Eight under Quin Snyder in 2002, but inconsistent performance and various improprieties in his leadership of the program caused him to be fired in the midst of an abysmal 2006 season. He was replaced with then-UAB head coach Mike Anderson. In 2009 the team lost in the Elite Eight to the Connecticut Huskies. Then, after a first-round exit from the NCAA tournament in 2011, Anderson took the head coaching position with the University of Arkansas. The head coaching vacancy was filled in early April 2011 with Frank Haith, the former Miami (Florida) head coach who left after the 2013 season to go Tulsa. In 2014, Kim Anderson became the new head basketball coach. The program is now led by Dennis Gates.

The 1920–21 and 1921–22 teams were retroactively named national champions by the Premo-Porretta Power Poll.

Women's basketball
The current head coach of the women's basketball program is Robin Pingeton, formerly of Illinois State. She was hired in April 2010 to replace Cindy Stein, who resigned under pressure from boosters and media after the 2009–10 season.

Football

The university's first football team was formed in 1890 by the sophomore class of the "Academic School" (now the College of Arts and Science). They challenged a team of Engineering students in April of that year upon encouragement of Dr. A. L. McRea, a university professor. Interest in the sport quickly grew among the students, professors, and administrators, and a Foot Ball Association was formed at a meeting on October 10, 1890. The first intercollegiate game for the university took place on Thanksgiving Day, 1890, when Missouri played Washington University before a crowd of 3,000 in St. Louis, Missouri. The Washington University team, which had already been playing for several years, easily defeated the University of Missouri team by a score of 28–0. Missouri has compiled a 16–20 record in bowl games as of the end of the 2023 season, including wins in the Orange, Sugar, and Cotton Bowls. It has finished in the final Associated Press poll Top Ten eight times since the poll began in 1936, and has had two top-five finishes since 2007.

Softball
Missouri softball began play in 1975. Missouri has appeared in seven Women's College World Series, in 1981, 1983, 1991, 1994, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Volleyball
Missouri volleyball began play in 1974. They have played in the NCAA Tournament 16 times, most recently in 2019. The furthest they have advanced in the tournament is the quarterfinals in 2005. They have won 2 conference championships, both of those in the SEC. The current head coach is Joshua Taylor, who was appointed head coach in 2019.

Wrestling
Hearnes Center is home to the Missouri Tigers' nationally ranked wrestling program. The Tigers have produced 8 Individual National Champions, 81 All-Americans, 10 conference titles and two NCAA Championship team trophies. For 23 years Brian Smith has been the university's head wrestling coach. Since 1998, Smith has received honors for his coaching accomplishments at the University of Missouri: Dan Gable Coach of the Year (2007), NWCA President (2010–12), Big 12 Coach of the Year (2012). Coach Smith has a 305-101-3 dual meet record.

Ben Askren and J'den Cox have gone on to compete for the United States in Olympic Games: 2008 and 2016. Cox earned the bronze medal at 86 kg. Cox was the 92 kg Freestyle World Champion in 2018 and 2019.

Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Michael Chandler are among the few from the university's wrestling program to make the transition to Mixed Martial Arts. Askren is a 4-time All-American wrestler (2004–2007), 2-time NCAA Division I Collegiate National Runner-up (2004, 2005), 2-time NCAA Division I Collegiate National Champion (2006, 2007), 2-time Dan Hodge Trophy Collegiate Wrestler of the Year (2006, 2007), and competed in the 2008 Olympics. He has been inducted into the University of Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame (2012). Askren is the former Bellator Welterweight Champion, former One Welterweight Champion, and former UFC Welterweight contender, having retired from MMA after his loss to Demian Maia. Chandler is a former Tiger wrestler earning All-American honors in 2009 (5th place 157 lbs.), who was the 3 time Bellator Lightweight Champion. Woodley is a former UFC Welterweight champion and former Strikeforce Welterweight title challenger.

Disc golf
The Mizzou Disc Golf Club formed in 2018. Mizzou won the men's and women's national championships in 2022 and the women's national championship in 2023. The teams regularly play at four disc golf courses in Columbia.

Rugby
The University of Missouri Men's Rugby Club plays Division 1-AA college rugby in the Heart of America conference against traditional rivals such as Kansas and Kansas State. Mizzou has been led since 2010 by head coach Don Corwin. Missouri rugby finished the 2011–2012 season ranked 17th. As the winner of the Heart of America conference, Missouri qualified for the playoffs of the 2012 men's collegiate DI-AA championships, reaching the round of 16 before losing to Wisconsin. Mizzou defeated Kansas 24–7 to finish third at the 2012 Heart of America 7s tournament. Mizzou was again successful during the 2013–2014 season, reaching the D1-AA national playoffs, where they defeated Middle Tennessee 46–10 in the round of 16 before losing in the quarterfinals to Bowling Green. Missouri saw more national success under Corwin in the 2017 season reaching the national semifinals before losing to Florida State. The sevens program has also seen success at the national stage, qualifying for the national tournament in 2017, 2018, 2019 and most recently in 2023, where the Tigers finished fifth in the Division One bracket of National Collegiate Rugby, their best ever finish in sevens.

Racquetball
The University of Missouri Club Racquetball team has had success recently. The women's team won back-to-back Division 1 titles in 2015 and 2016 at the USA Racquetball Intercollegiate Championships. The overall team placed 2nd and 3rd respectively in those years.

University of Kansas
Historically, the Tigers' biggest rival was the Kansas Jayhawks, with whom they competed in the annual Border War. This was one of the most intense rivalries in college sports, going back to a time of actual armed conflict between pro-slavery residents from Missouri and anti-slavery residents of the Kansas Territory, known as Bleeding Kansas. The series ended for the foreseeable future once Mizzou moved to the SEC.

The Kansas–Missouri football series is the second-oldest and second-most-played rivalry in college football history. (See: The Rivalry (Lafayette–Lehigh)) The teams first matched up in football on October 31, 1891. Missouri claims to lead the all-time series, 57–54–9, since it counts the forfeit of Kansas' 1960 victory as a win. Missouri claims the 1911 football game in Columbia, Missouri as the world's first Homecoming. An important meeting between the Tigers and Jayhawks occurred on November 24, 2007, when the two teams played for the Big 12 North Championship and a shot at playing for the Big 12 Championship and a possible National Championship. The Tigers defeated the Jayhawks 36–28. The Tigers season later resulted in a trip to the Cotton Bowl Classic, where they defeated Arkansas 38–7.

University of Oklahoma
The Tiger–Sooner Peace Pipe is a rivalry trophy presented to the winner of the Missouri vs. Oklahoma game.

The trophy is a ceremony of smoking the old pipe. The trophy was inaugurated in 1929 by Chester M. Brewer, Mizzou's director of athletics, and by members of Mystical Seven, a University of Missouri honorary group. The peace pipe was donated by a Mr. R. L. Hill, an "M" man and former president of the Missouri student body. Ceremony takes place during halves, with Mystical Seven representing Missouri, and a similar organization representing Oklahoma. Missouri won the first game, 13–0.

During Mizzou's tenure in the Big 12, the conference's divisional play structure meant that the Tigers and the Sooners only faced off two out every four years. Therefore, only scheduled games between the two teams count for the exchange of the Peace Pipe. The most recent Big 12 Championship games featuring Mizzou and Oklahoma would not have triggered a transfer of the Peace Pipe (if Missouri had won on either occasion.)

Oklahoma leads the all-time series with a record of 65–23–5.

In 2010, Mizzou, ranked no. 11 in the BCS standings, defeated no. 1 ranked Oklahoma, 36–27.

Oklahoma leads the series since the trophy tradition started with a record of 56–14–4.

On July 30, 2021, Oklahoma accepted an invitation to join the Southeastern Conference. Once they join, they will become Missouri's most played conference rival by a landslide.

University of Arkansas
Missouri's newest rivalry after joining the SEC is with the Arkansas Razorbacks, known as the Battle Line Rivalry. Both the Razorbacks and Tigers have played five times before playing annually in the same conference which started in 2014. Arkansas was one of the founding members of the Southwest Conference along with the Texas Longhorns. The Razorbacks left the Southwest Conference to join the SEC, which triggered the Southwest and the Big Eight Conferences to merge to form the Big 12 in 1996. Arkansas is placed in the West Division of the SEC while Missouri is placed in the East and with the SEC current football scheduling format a team from the West and the East divisions must play annually. To keep traditional rivalries ongoing in the SEC, the conference dropped Arkansas's cross-division annual match up with South Carolina to replace the Gamecocks with the Tigers due to the proximity of the two universities. Missouri currently leads the football series 10–4.

University of South Carolina
Also known as Battle for Columbia due to the two universities in the city of Columbia in their respective states. Both the Tigers and the Gamecocks play for Missouri's newest Trophy game, the Mayors' Cup. The trophy was created in 2012 when Missouri joined the conference. Both teams are in the East division of the SEC and will play annually along with the other five members of the division. Missouri currently leads the series at 8–5 and the trophy series at 6–5.

University of Nebraska
The Missouri-Nebraska football series was another historic rivalry alongside the MU–KU series, although it ended with Nebraska's departure for the Big Ten Conference. The Missouri–Nebraska series was the second oldest rivalry in the Big 12, dating back to 1892. The two teams met 104 times, with Nebraska leading the series 65–36–3. The large lead was the result of a 24-year Nebraska winning streak from 1979 to 2002. The teams split the eight games played from 2003 to 2010. The rivalry saw renewed interest following the Flea Kicker. The two teams played for the Victory Bell trophy, which was first awarded in 1927.

University of Illinois
There is also a relatively new basketball rivalry with the Illinois Fighting Illini of the Big Ten Conference referred to as Braggin' Rights. The Braggin' Rights game debuted in 1980 and has been played every year since 1983. Missouri trails the series 20–11. The start of football season also often matches the two schools in the "Arch Rivalry" game, most recently played at the Edward Jones Dome. Mizzou leads the football series with an all-time record of 14–7 since 1896. In addition, the Missouri and Illinois baseball teams have recently begun a baseball rivalry, meeting at Busch Stadium since 2005 (though the schools did not meet in 2009 or 2011). Missouri leads the series 5-1 since 2005.

Iowa State University
The Telephone Trophy started during a 1959 Game featuring Iowa State and Missouri when the field phones were tested prior to the game, it was found that both teams could hear each other. The problem was solved by game time, but not without considerable worry on the part of the coaches. The Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. of Ames had a trophy made and presented it to Iowa State to be awarded each year to the team winning the game. An odd sidelight to the whole affair was that the same thing happened to Missouri later in the year in a game played at Columbia. Missouri won the first game, 14–0.

The series is 58–34–9 in favor of Missouri.

Missouri leads the series since the trophy tradition started with a record of 30–18–3.

Homecoming
The University of Missouri claims to be the originator of the tradition of homecoming. Before, games against the University of Kansas were played in Kansas City. However, a change in conference regulations required intercollegiate football games to be played on campus starting in 1911. Fearing that game attendance would be low, the new Missouri coach, C. L. Brewer, appealed with great success for the "Old Grads" to "Come Back Home" to boost attendance and help dedicate MU's new football field. The fans responded, swelling the crowd at Rollins Field in Columbia to more than ten thousand. MU, Trivial Pursuit, and Jeopardy! all say that this game in 1911 was the first homecoming game, despite competing claims from other schools.

The 2010 edition of the University of Missouri Homecoming also included the first ever visit by ESPN College GameDay. 18,000 fans attended College GameDay at the Francis Quadrangle on Saturday, October 23, 2010. The turnout broke the previous largest crowd of 15,800 fans set at the University of Nebraska in 2001, a record that would stand until 2023.

Big MO
Big MO is a 6-foot, 150-pound bass drum featured at Mizzou football games. Big MO's handlers are actually University of Missouri alumni rather than student members of Marching Mizzou. Big MO is used to lead fans in the traditional MIZ-ZOU cheer. The drum has been a Mizzou football tradition since 1981, when it was acquired by a Mizzou athletic booster club known as the St. Louis Quarterback Club. The club donated $5,000 to purchase the drum, which was built by Ludwig Drums in Chicago. The drum, originally painted red with gold flakes, was brought back from Chicago strapped in the back of a pickup truck. When it arrived in Columbia, the drum was repainted black and presented to the university a week before the first 1981 football game at an event known as the Tiger Fall Rally. Responsibility for Big MO was transferred to the Mizzou chapters of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma in 1993. Only student and alumni members of the two organizations are eligible to be on the Big MO crew. Big MO is the third largest bass drum in the United States, behind Big Bertha at the University of Texas and the Purdue Big Bass Drum.

In April 2011, the Mizzou chapters of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma kicked off a fundraising campaign to replace Big MO, which deteriorated over several decades of use. The current Big MO weighs 800-plus-pounds and has a 9-foot diameter and a 54-inch width, making it the largest collegiate bass drum as well as largest bass drum in the United States. The new drum was built by Neil Boumpani of Boumpani Music Company, a custom drum maker in Barnesville, Georgia. The new record-setting Big MO debuted when Mizzou entered play in the Southeastern Conference in 2012.

Harpo's goal post tradition
Since 1971, there has been no doubt about the destination of the goal posts any time they have been torn down following a home football game. 1971 marked the first year in which the goal posts ended up at Harpo's Bar and Grill at 29 S. Tenth Street in Columbia. Although no concrete reasoning is known behind the tradition, it is suggested that Harpo's became the destination because of its popularity among alumni returning to Columbia on game days and because the restaurant is one of the few places that had remained under consistent ownership without any name changes, so alumni and students all easily identify with the establishment. Following the 2005 season, removable goal posts were installed, which are lowered at the close of each home game.

In 2010 the goal post tradition was revived following the victory against BCS #1 ranked Oklahoma. Thousands of fans began to swarm the field before the final play had even ended. Although there were event staff and highway patrol encircling the field, security was unable to prevent fans from storming the field and removing the north end zone goal post from the stadium.

Alma mater
The Alma Mater for the University of Missouri is Old Missouri. It was written in 1895 and is sung to the tune of Annie Lisle and has two verses. Before and after athletic events, sometimes only the first verse is used. The first and second verses are more commonly sung at student orientation and at commencement/graduation ceremonies. Both verses are followed by the chorus.

Tiger media
The Tiger Radio Network is anchored by KMBZ in Kansas City, KTGR AM/KCMQ FM in Columbia and Jefferson City, and KTRS in St Louis. Mike Kelly is the commentator for both sports, with Howard Richards and Chris Gervino serving as analysts for football and Gary Link filling in for basketball. In addition, the school owns and operates its own NBC affiliate, KOMU-TV, in Columbia. The station is run by MU faculty members and is staffed by professionals and students. It's the only college-owned and operated network affiliate in the country.

For indoor sports, Mizzou operates the Missouri Sports Network, a syndication package that airs on FSN Midwest and/or Metro Sports. It mainly broadcasts volleyball and basketball. Dan McLaughlin handles play-by-play for all sports, and is joined by a rotating group of color commentators, most notably Tigers coaching legend Norm Stewart for men's basketball games.

Mizzou Athletics Hall of Fame
The University of Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame, located at Mizzou Arena, is a museum operated by the University of Missouri and is the highest honor bestowed upon a Mizzou student-athlete, coach or administrator. The University of Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame was made possible by the 1989 bequest of $100,000 from the estate of the late A.C. (Ace) and Mary Stotler. Its purpose is "to recognize and honor those individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the achievements and prestige of the University of Missouri in the field of athletics, and who have continued to demonstrate in their lives, the values imparted by intercollegiate athletics."

Athletes are not eligible for consideration until five years after completion of their competitive career. Coaches and staff members must have spent at least five years working at the University of Missouri and are also subject to a five-year waiting period. The induction ceremony typically occurs in the February following the induction year.

External Link POV
I am removing the external link. It seems to be an anti islamic website and therefore not fit for wikipedia.

Request for expert help
This article is poorly written, contradicts itself, etc. A user posted a complaint that it isn't even valid under contemporary Islamic law. I have no idea what is or is not true in reguard to it, but would like to see it improved. Emmett5 22:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, it doesn't contradict itself, but it still is written in a way that wouldn't really help someone interested in the topic. Emmett5 22:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Its just a bad content fork of Nikah Mut'ah with a amateurish Sunni pov, i just havent taken the time to merge them. --Striver 23:56, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

This article should definitely be removed and whatever worthwhile contents it has should be merged with Nikah Mut'ah. It is exactly the same topic that is discussed in both texts. Aster77

 * I suggest redirecting this article to Nikah Mut‘ah. I doubt there is anything here worth moving to the other article, which is much more complete. Cuñado  [[image:Bahaitemplatestar.png|20px]] -  Talk  02:35, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * This is a terrible article:

Correction: Mutta marriage is allowed between any Muslim man and a woman "of the book" (that is, with a Jewish, Christian, or Muslim woman) SUBJECT to the following conditions AMONG OTHERS:

 * You can't have a "correction" statement in the middle of the article! Agree on one, and remove the other definition! Ozzykhan 18:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Centerfield (album)

Centerfield is the third solo studio album by musician John Fogerty. Released on January 14, 1985, it spawned the hit singles "The Old Man Down the Road" (Fogerty's only top 10 hit as a solo artist), "Rock and Roll Girls" and the title track "Centerfield". This was Fogerty's first album in nine years; After the decision not to release his Hoodoo album, Fogerty decided to take a long break from the music business because of legal battles with his record company. In the meantime, Fogerty's recording contract with Asylum Records was reassigned to co-owner Warner Bros. Records so this album was the first released on the Warner Bros. label.

Fogerty played all the instruments on this album himself, thanks to overdubbing. The image on the cover shows an old-fashioned, "beat-up glove", as referenced in the title song, and text similar to a logo of a baseball team, setting the mood for the track. The RIAA has certified the album double-platinum (2 million album sales). A 25th Anniversary Edition was released on June 29, 2010 and features the original album, digitally remastered, and adds two bonus tracks, both of which were B-sides to 45s released in 1986; A cover of Rockin' Sidney Simien's Zydeco hit "My Toot Toot" (taken from Fogerty's "Change in the Weather" single, featuring Sidney himself on accordion) and 1950s R&B/doo wop song "I Confess" by Teddy Vann and Nathaniel Nathan (from Fogerty's "Eye of the Zombie" single). The review at Blogcritics incorrectly credits "I Confess" to Bay Area gospel group The Four Rivers.

Legal issues
The song "Zanz Kant Danz" was altered and re-titled "Vanz Kant Danz" a few months after the release of the album in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid a defamation lawsuit from Saul Zaentz, owner of Fantasy Records. The altered "Vanz Kant Danz" version of this song appears on all post-1985 pressings of the album.

A Zaentz lawsuit (Fantasy, Inc. v. Fogerty) claimed that "The Old Man Down the Road" shared the same chorus as "Run Through the Jungle" (a song from Fogerty's days with Creedence Clearwater Revival: years before, Fogerty had relinquished copy and publishing rights of his Creedence songs to Zaentz and Fantasy, in exchange for release from his contractual obligations to same). The defendant Fogerty ultimately prevailed, when he showed that the two songs were whole, separate and distinct compositions. Bringing his guitar to the witness stand, he played excerpts from both songs, demonstrating that many songwriters (himself included) have distinctive styles that can make different compositions sound similar to less discerning ears.

After prevailing as defendant, Fogerty sued Zaentz for the cost of defending himself against the copyright infringement. In such (copyright) cases, prevailing defendants seeking recompense were bound to show that the original suit was frivolous or made in bad faith. This case, Fogerty v. Fantasy, became precedent when the Supreme Court (1993) overturned lower court rulings and awarded attorneys' fees to Fogerty, without Fogerty having to show that Zaentz's original suit was frivolous.

Dedication
The album is dedicated to "Gossamer Wump". Fogerty said in an interview, "When I was a young kid, my brothers had a record called 'The Adventures of Gossamer Wump.' Gossamer Wump is a little kid who saw a big parade comin' down the road and thinks 'Hey, this is what I want, I want to be a musician.'

"Gossamer goes through all the instruments comin' by and does not know how to decide what instrument he wants to play. Then, at the end of the parade he sees the triangle and thinks, 'Yes, that's what I want to play.' Determined to learn how to play the triangle, Gossamer takes his belongings and 26 peanut butter sandwiches and leaves for the big city. On his way he sings 'jingle, jongle, jangle, ah'm goin' to the big city to learn to play the triangle.'

"In the city, Gossamer starts taking lessons and very soon he plays 'tingle.' After ten years of courage, determination, and hard work Gossamer plays 'tingle.' No difference? At first sight, no, but Gossamer, he can hear the difference. This is what I like about this story. After ten years in my garage, I played alone. They maybe don't hear the difference, but I do. Gossamer stuck to his dream, and that's why I dedicated this album to Gossamer Wump."

Reception
Spin wrote, "As any pro will tell you, it's tough to sit out a season (no less eight) and return to any semblance of peak form. But whether Centerfield spawns hits or not, John Fogerty has emerged with skills intact and fires burning."

Template talk:High traffic

Recommended change: Allow non-article pages

 * RFC question: Should this template be modified so it can be used for pages other than article and article-talk pages that are linked to from high-traffic web sites? davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  22:57, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Pre-RFC discussion
I've updated the sandbox so if this template is used on talk pages of non-articles, it categorizes the page into Category:Non-article pages linked from high traffic sites.

I did this after placing the template onto Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2014-06-25/News and notes.

Any objections to copying the sandbox into the main template, creating the new category as a parent category of Category: Articles linked from high traffic sites, and updating the /doc page so the template itself becomes a member of the new category? davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  02:38, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

New discussion after RFC template placed in this section on 7 July 2014

 * Support. Sounds good to me.  I don't see any specific reason why we shouldn't modify the template to do this. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:24, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Do we even need an RfC for this? The idea seems fine to me, and I don't see why it would be controversial. Jackmcbarn (talk) 03:25, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Why is there a boldface C added at the end of the sandbox version's message? It seems that from the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AComparePages&page1=Template%3AHigh+traffic&page2=Template%3AHigh+traffic%2Fsandbox sandbox diff], the proposal is only about adding new categorization, as the template can already be used for pages other than article and article-talk pages that are linked to from high-traffic web sites. The only proposed change seems to be adding new categorization for non-article pages. Wbm1058 (talk) 13:32, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

How do you use the "date" param?
The documentation for this template says, "date is the date on which you added this template to the talk page, e.g. date=12 February 2015." However, when you insert the template, the date you enter is used to populate the "when the mention happened' section, e.g. On, Template:High traffic was linked from a high-traffic website.

So it seems to me that if on January 1 a high-traffic website mentions a page, and on January 2 I insert this template, I should put "January 1" as the date, not "January 2". So... should we change the documentation? Note that "date" = "date mention ocurred" and not "date you entered the template"?

(I'm aware that this makes this template behave differently from most of the others, where the "date" tag is used to track when the template was added--but it looks like we're stuck with that.) Narsil (talk) 20:29, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Not hearing any replies, I'm going to go ahead and do this. Narsil (talk) 21:58, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Missing end tags
In the, Ms2ger revised this template introducing 2  tags with missing end tags. will someone who knows what they are doing please provide the missing end tags? —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:10, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅-- Laun chba ller 21:41, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. ... There is another theory which states that this has already happened." --- Douglas Adams

. . imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in'an interesting hole I find myself in'fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

I know not of what weapons World War Three will be fought with, but I know that World War Four with be fought with sticks and stones.---Albert Einstein

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle, Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing. ~ Macbeth, V.v---Shakespeare This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time." ---Fight Club

We know all the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years, and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, some day we'll stop making the goddam funeral pyres and jumping into the middle of them. We pick up a few more people that remember, every generation. ~ Ray Bradbury (from fahrenheit 451)
