Talk:Thorpe Park

2008 Coaster
In a recent question and answer session, this question was asked: "in the future is there going to be any more rides like Air in Alton Towers?" The response was: "With regards to the future, Air is a first class ride and something similar would fit in nicely at Thorpe Park but there are also numerous other coaster concepts to look at."

The rumours of this coaster being a flyer are uncomfirmed and the above official response suggests that it will not be, for these reasons I have removed the section suggesting the 2008 coaster will be a B&M Flyer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackqu7 (talk • contribs) Removed section about some blokes spam plans. Absolute rubbish, so removed.

Regarding additions of user: 82.43.154.64 on 01/04/2007. Is this information confirmed anywhere else and should this be removed? Rexcentum 18:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Some rides
Is it true that a miniture golf course and bumper cars were removed to make way for the new rides in Lost City? (Just that they aren't mentioned on the timeline) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chocology (talk • contribs)

 * The Bumper Cars Were Removed But Was Located Nr. The Entrance Dome So Was Not Removed To Make Way For Lost City And In The Same Year The Mini Golf Was Removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.122.176 (talk • contribs)

 * The dodgems were called "Dare Devil Drivers" and were situated in a domed tent-like building where Zodiac now stands. Their final season in the park was 2000.193.35.248.7 (talk) 11:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

What years was "Treasure Island" ride open? This was a train ride to an island with pillocks acting out set scenes at various points on the Island? There was a Saliors Inn and a almost life size Galleon on the Island. I worked on it (yes I was one of the pillocks) in 1983-4. Anyone know?Serpren (talk) 08:18, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * From the research I have conducted for my website Treasure Island Railway appears to have operated from 1983 -1993. I am slightly unsure of the opening year but its last operating season was definitely in 1993.Memoriesofthorpepark (talk) 09:01, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Some rides
The following removed because it is unconfirmed.

 * A new drop tower will be placed on the current site of Amity Games. The drop tower is likely to be an Intamin gyro/mega drop (as these models have a very high capacity). Or, like Detonator, a Fabri drop tower with a higher capacity. The ride is likely to be no higher than roughly 130ft. Quicksilver shop located in Amity has already been re-themed for the new drop tower, with the name 'Amity shop and drop'. The reason for building another drop tower is due to Detonator's success, but as Detonator has a low capacity and as park numbers increase, the park thought it would be a good idea to introduce a second drop tower to ease queue times.

Question
Doeas anyone know Which year was Phantom Phantasia renamed The Wicked Witches Haunt?

1994

Excellent Thanks! (a;lso any idea why the name was changed? user:Guru Larry

Is the addition of the breakdance confirmed anywhere? Also why use Rodeo from CwoA because they removed the ride there as it was so difficult and expensive to maintain?

'''Very little. Rodeo has been sold from the Tussauds group.'''

Also can anyone remember the name of the "ride" or area that had the wacky bicycles that had steering wheels and steered weird? (it was where the old crocks cars moved to for a while on the hill)  user:Guru Larry

Project Hawk
User 82.44.225.61 is repeatedly replacing the same phrase:

Project 'Hawk' is not the project name for this, as the name Project 'Hawk' was made up by Phill Caudell.

Not only that, but in bold.

82.44.225.61, before you 'undo' another revision without a word of explanation, please explain here why you think this is so relevant - I'm not the only user that has removed this phrasing.

It seems to me that you are trying to force-add a phrase that makes little sense, and is pointless. You might as well say "Project 'La La' is not the name for this..." - there are 1001 things that aren't the name for this.

Please, either reword it to make sense, or let it be removed. Repeated replacement without justification could be seen as vandalism. TheIslander 20:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

How is Thorpe Park the same area size as Alton Towers, and larger than Blackpool Pleasure Beach?

New future developments
Hello, I just added some major information I recieved today from one of my manangers, what is there is 99% or 100% happening unless I get told different, I will inform you. I can't reveal much about my source but I work at TP and well we are preparing for 2008 season straight away. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

 * I'm sorry, but word of mouth is not a good enough reference for Wikipedia. Unless you can cite a decent, reliable reference within 24 hours, I'll remove your contributions again (assuming of course that they're not removed beforehand by another editor). Please see WP:V. Thank you, The Islander 22:03, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but the information, you islander put on the tp wiki, where did you get your information from, how are we sure that your'es isn't word of mouth too. At leasts im putting valuable information on.

You said "At this time it is unknown what will be the new ride or attraction for 2008. Rumours are that a possible second Detonator tower will be installed next to the original tower to increase throughput. A Disko ride is also being looked into as another possibility. There are also unconfirmed reports that Thorpe Park may get one of Alton Tower's thrill rides for the 2008 season, however this has been seen to be unlikely. The Tussauds brand will also be dropped by the end of the 2008 season in favour of the Merlin Entertainmets brand". What you said, Islander are rumours too and what makes your information more important than mine.

It talks of educational talks but whose to say that what you say aren't rumours too, you obviously think what you say is better than my info and you even admitted about the second tower are rumours too.

And you say that what I say is not good enough for Wiki, well neither is yours when you talk of rumours too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.40.188.132 (talk) 12:21, 21 August 2007

 * If instead of devising insults you took a look at the edit history, you'd see that I haven't added any of my own information, merely restored it to the condition it was in before you contributed. The Islander 17:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Future Developments
Further to my comments above, I've noticed that actually the entire 'Future Developments' section is completely, 100% unsourced. Seems like complete speculation to me. Per WP:CBALL, I'll remove the lot in 24 hours if nothing turns up. After that, feel free to replace with appropriate citations. The Islander 20:34, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Done. As stated, feel free to replace the lot, but only if you can provide appropriate citations. The Islander 20:26, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

And yahtzee - the planning is here. go to Here to look at the planning, so i have put it back.

Referencing
This article is full of opinion and original research. I think it would be a good idea for any regular editors to list their sources for the facts in the article, else a lot of it will end up being deleted. The best bet would be to use cite web and hopefully we can whip the article into shape! Sea serpent 85Talk 00:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Just a warning that I'm prepared to remove all of the unsourced statements in here if nothing has changed by tomorrow. I don't want to see it gone, but the majority of the section will never be citable. Sea serpent 85Talk 15:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Attendence figures
Some of the theme park articles on Wikipedia state the annual attendence figures. As with any tourist attraction it's success is largely based on its popularity. Is this information available for Thorpe Park. If it is, then it should be included in the main page.

Edit: Don't worry. I found them myself. According to TEA / ERA Atraction Attendence 2007, Thorpe Park is the second most popular pay at the door (rather then pay per ride) theme park in the UK with 1.7 million guests in 2007. Alton Towers (No Surprise) was first with 2.4 million and Legoland windsor was in third place just behind Thorpe. The fact that this is the second most popular theme park in the country perhaps should be mentioned as it may be important to its readers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.138.41.241 (talk) 13:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * It definitely should - good work. To include it, it needs to be cited, so could you post a link to where you found this information? Talk Islander 16:16, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

New ride for 2009
If you look at the 2008 map of Thorpe Park it shows a ride being constructed in the bottom left corner saying 'NEW COASTER COMING 2009'. This is another big coaster and will have a sawmill theme. I have also heard that it has an interesting part to its track. I have been told, by a member of staff at Thorpe Park, to watch out on YouTube on the 13th October 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomMeman8 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

For Discussion / For Inclusion?
Regarding Angry Birds 4D: I notice you do not list any retired attractions in the article. The attraction which proceeded Angry Birds, Pirates 4-D was something of a seminal attraction, and opened your 4D cinema. Much of the technology therein was custom developed for Thorpe. By the way, the Angry Birds film's manufacturer is listed as Simworx. Are they actually the manufacturer, or is it SimEx-Iwerks, or Rovio Entertainment Ltd?

Regarding Fright Nights: The WP article Fright Nights credits this event to Warner Bros Movie World since 2006. There was no mention of Thorpe (began 2002) until I added it today. FYI, the earliest use of the term seems to be Six Flags AstroWorld, 1986-1992. See the Fright Fest article. Oddjob84 (talk) 12:56, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Britain's First Theme Park
Recent changes have tried to assert that Thorpe Park was Britain's first theme park and cited an article in US magazine Variety to back up this claim. Thorpe Park opened in 1979 but was not a theme park when opened. It was always planned and developed as an outdoor activity park with water sports etc. There were no permanent structures on the site other than the dome, model world and some small temporary fairground rides (which were pay-per-ride), it was just a wide open grassland. So this isn't just my opinion of whether the park was 'themed' or not.

The theme park started to develop later in 1982 and the park had to apply for change of use because its original planning permission was on the basis of it only being an outdoor activity park. This is when the park format also changed to pay-once for the whole park attractions and had its first permanent rides. The articles Ive cited state this clearly and were from local reports made at the time of the park's initial development and subsequent change into a theme park, which are more reliable and clear.

Thorpe Park later tried to claim that it was Britain's first theme park as a tagline, because it had originally opened a year earlier than Alton Towers' theme park, but this was just advertising. You may as well say Blackgang Chine was Britain's first theme park in that case, because it opened in the 1800s, but it didn't develop into a theme park until the 80s.--Detachio (talk) 11:46, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Hyperlinks are a bit strange
On the hyperlink about the ghost train, both the person's name and the words 'Ghost Train' both have separate hyperlinks, even though the person's name and the words 'Ghost Train' make up the full name of the ride.

Talk:The Connection (radio program)

Question
Does anybody know why The Connection is being discontinued? 67.180.227.35 15:49, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I added what I know about the history of "The Connection" but it clearly needs to be fleshed out. There is a lot more to the circumstances surrounding Lydon's and Gordon's departures. But the tragedy, IMHO, is that the name is now defunct and they don't have Lydon.

Please! Those who know more please edit and add because BUR is not saying much!

Montalvo 21:27, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Now that I read the forums and have gotten some idea of what's happened, I'm thinking of editing the last paragraph to read:

 * The question remains: why was the show discontinued so abruptly and heavy-handedly? From reading the forums on "The Connection" and having listened extensively to both programs including the Lydon version of The Connection, it can be concluded that BUR could not sustain two very expensive programs.  But the shame of it is that Chris Lydon and Mary McGrath grew "The Connection" up to where it was a hot property, and then couldn't agree with their manager, Jane Cristo (and most likey, some influencial donors), about how to split the pie.  Lydon wanted part ownership and was closed out.  Afterwards BUR could never get a host as popular --- can we say knowlegeable and compelling --- as Lydon, so the show withered away until it had to be axed.  A real tragedy.  The only bright spot being a new show: On Point.

Does this sound neutral enough?

Fsm 01:03, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Fleshed out some of the history of how/why Lydon left and why, maybe, The Connection was discontinued. It's not clear because BUR is not talking, but some reading between the lines can be done. The continuity of the article is not very good. This should probaby be worked on.

Fsm 23:01, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

NPOVing
I took out large sections of the article and rewrote other parts because the entire thing just smacked of quite a bit of POV. If anyone would like to re-add the information that was deleted, please make sure it conforms to NPOV. « alerante ✆ ✉ » 00:16, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * What I wanted to convey was the shabby way BUR treated its listeners in both instances by not announcing ahead of time what it was doing and by not really being honest about why it was sacking either host. I think BUR deserves a little accountability here.  We can argue about wording, but the timeframe and lack of candor is in the public record.
 * ...Fsm 22:39, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Time Slot
"Its evening time slot has led to speculation that On Point was moved to the morning slot so as not to compete directly with Open Source." That is an odd thing to say, since On Point is repeated on WBUR from 7 to 9pm, after first broadcast from 10am to noon. On Point was not moved so much as spread out, duplicated in a way that saves WBUR money by producing just one show instead of two. 69.87.193.160 23:15, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

The Connection's theme song
The article currently says: "The Connection's theme song was the jazz tune "Cantaloupe Island" by Herbie Hancock, performed by Us3 in their rendition titled "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)". I believe this is wrong; I'm pretty sure the theme during Christopher Lydon's hosting was in fact the Herbie Hancock version. I was a faithful listener (and sometime-caller) during Lydon's hosting.  It was appointment listening.  I have cassette air-checks of a few of the shows; I'll dig them out and confirm.

USAnimation

VirtualMagic Animation, Inc. (previously known as USAnimation, Inc.) was an American traditional animation studio and software development company based out of Los Angeles, California. The studio produced animation for television series and commercials, and provided ink and paint services to animated TV series such as The Ren and Stimpy Show and The Simpsons and films such as We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story. Its software division was best known for developing USAnimation, a high-end software package designed to facilitate the traditional animation process using digital technologies.

History
John Whitney Jr. and Gary Demos worked at Digital Productions, which was bought out by Omnibus Computer Graphics in June 1986. Whitney and Demos filed a complaint against Digital, Omnibus, Ramtek, and others in June, claiming that their rights as minority shareholders of DP were breached in the Omnibus sale. In July, they were locked out of their offices and founded Whitney/Demos Productions. Omnibus alleged to a court that Whitney and Demos, who were still paid under their contracts, founded a new competitor, hired at least three Omnibus employees, and used software and other property that belonged to Omnibus. The court temporarily ordered Whitney and Demos to return certain property to Omnibus.

Tom McMahon from Symbolics' Graphics Division and other private investors provided funding assistance for W/D. The following year, W/D purchased the Thinking Machines Connection Machine 2, fronted by Symbolics workstations with programming done in LISP. W/D's first project had them work with Symbolics' Graphics Division to produce the short film Stanley and Stella: Breaking the Ice. Before they could collect the rest of an initial $5 million loan, much of the CG production industry collapsed because of Omnibus's failed growth plan, and investors balked. After W/D declared bankruptcy in June 1988, Demos formed his own research company, DemoGraFX, while Whitney stayed and took the company through bankruptcy proceedings. Whintey continued the company with Karl Sims as Optomystic. When another company was found to have a similar name, Optomystic's name was changed to Digital Animation Laboratories.

Whitney developed a "paperless" animation process where animation drawn on paper was scanned into a computer to be colored and composited. He founded USAnimation in early 1992 with David Lipman as vice president and executive producer after he decided to use his technology to change how animation was produced. The animation industry was immediately receptive to this concept since digital capabilities were a powerful creative tool for the animation producer to improve the look of shows and do it more efficiently. USAnimation completed episodic projects such as Beavis and Butt-Head, The Ren & Stimpy Show and the first digitally colored episodes of The Simpsons, as well as commercial projects ranging from Lucky Charms cereal to Levi's jeans. In 1995, USAnimation began offering its digital animation system to other customers.

In 1996, USAnimation sold its software development business to Canadian competitor Toon Boom Technologies and its animation production services were renamed VirtualMagic USA. Toon Boom continues development of the USAnimation software, today known as Harmony. VirtualMagic International Productions, Inc., founded in Vancouver a year prior, signed a letter of intent to acquire USAnimation's Production Services Division on August 30 and closed the deal on October 31. VirtualMagic would continue to operate the company while expanding its production capacity to include CGI animation and significantly increasing employment. With resources now dedicated solely to its production expertise, VirtualMagic USA diversified itself by taking on a significant amount of interactive CD-ROM work for clients such as Disney Interactive, Broderbund, and Digital Domain.

In late-1997, the company completed changing its name to VirtualMagic Animation and moved into a new production space in the San Fernando Valley. In order to economically compete in the animated episodic series and motion picture market, VirtualMagic Animation evaluated potential affiliate foreign animation companies with digital capabilities as well as joint venture possibilities. In 1999, VirtualMagic Animation and ImagineAsia Studio formed VirtualMagic Asia, a digital ink, paint and compositing service based in Manila, Philippines. In 2003, Don Spielvogel and the company's investors put up VirtualMagic Animation for sale due to the changing dynamics of the United States' animation industry and its non-animation industry investors wishing to move on. VirtualMagic Animation and VirtualMagic Asia closed the same year.

University of Liège

The University of Liège (Université de Liège), or ULiège, is a major public university of the French Community of Belgium founded in 1817 and based in Liège, Wallonia, Belgium. Its official language is French.

History
The university was founded in 1817 by William I of the Netherlands, then King of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, and by his Minister of Education, Anton Reinhard Falck. The foundation of the university was the result of a long intellectual tradition which dates back to the origins of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. Beginning in the eleventh century, the influence of the principality attracted students and prominent scientists and philosophers, such as Petrarch, to study in its libraries. The reputation of its medieval schools gave the city the reputation as a new Athens.

A 17 March 1808 decree by Napoleon I concerning the organization of an imperial university indicated Liège as the site of a new academy to be composed of a Faculty of Arts and a Faculty of Science—the first university charter for Liège. Ultimately, Liège owes its university to William I of the Netherlands, who remembered the city's prestigious legacy of teaching and culture when he decided to establish a new university on Walloon soil.

Nearly 200 years later, settled to some extent in the district of Liège, the University of Liège belongs to the French community of Belgium. The university is located at the edge of the river Meuse, in the center of the Island, the Latin Quarter of Liège. In 2009, the Agronomical University of Gembloux (FUSAGx), based in Gembloux, in the Province of Namur, integrated ULiège. It has adopted a new name for academics as well as research, namely Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech.

Chronology

 * 1817: foundation of the University of Liege by William I of the Netherlands.

The student radio station 48FM is also relocating there.

Organisation
The rector of ULiège is Professor Anne-Sophie Nyssen, who succeeded Professor Pierre Wolper in 2022, becoming the first woman to hold this position. Anne Girin has been the university's Administrator since September 1, 2020. She replaced Laurent Despy and became the first woman to hold this position.

Link Inclusion Discussion and Request
Added a link to an external website (of which I am affiliated) and the link was removed by another user. Request that this be approved for reinclusion in this article. Link points to a highly relevant site whose theme is Tornado Warning systems and phone service. This site provides viewers with additional information not found in the article and not easily reproduced within the article. I checked Wikipedia guidelines and these do allow links to commercial web pages if they meet certain criteria including relevance. The link appeared as the following and is the only occurrence of this link in Wikipedia:

During the short period of time that this link appeared in this article (several weeks), hundreds of Wikipedia users followed this link to this web page, particularly during the time period when the tornados hit the US Midwest.::Pgillman (talk) pgaz 17:54, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

My opinion: I wasn't sure at first, but I don't think that link belongs here. If it is such a site that it is one of the top results for a web search about "Tornado Warnings" or something similar, then maybe, but this doesn't really seem to add anything to the article. That hundreds of people followed the link is in no way a good thing for Wikipedia or evidence that it improved the article. – Tifego (t)02:42, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for taking the time to comment. FYI, after reading your comment I did a check on MSN and found the above link was in the top 10 search results for "tornado warning" and "tornado warnings" and number 1 for "tornado warning system".  However, I don't think that search engine position should be the criteria.  Relevance and interest that enhances the user experience should be the most important issue.  My point about the number of Wikipedia visitors who followed the link was to indicate that the Wikipedia User community found the topic of "Tornado Warning System" relevant and interesting enough to want to visit that page.  Since the whole point of Wikipedia is to provide the visitor with information (and the means to obtain additional information), why censor links that future users may wish to follow.  Again, thanks for your input.  –Pgillman (talk) pgaz13:51, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Aren't there other similar services? It seems odd that only this one in particular would be listed in the external links. If there was a good assortment of other external links, some of them non-commercial, then I think keeping this link would be more reasonable. Also, at least on Google it's not nearly so high, I know that's not anything official but at the same time I suspect it would not be #1 on MSN for "tornado warning system" were it not for the link on this Wikipedia article going to it with the title of "Tornado Warning System". – Tifego (t)16:28, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment at the current time, the external site appears to be down. --Oscarthecat[[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|]] 07:25, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * External site is not down. - also arguments by Tifego do not address Wikipedia standards - the presence of other links or Google ranking are not criteria under Wikipedia for link inclusion in an article - relevance to article and enhancing user experience are important. The fact that hundreds of visitors (in a very short time period) visited this link demonstrates the relevance and interest in an external Tornado Warning System.  –Pgillman (talk) pgaz13:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

RFC
I noticed this on the RFC page, and I'll suggest that this link should not be added to the article. Under "Links to normally avoid", #4 on WP:EL: "Sites that primarily exist to sell products or services". This website fits that description, and thus does not deserve inclusion here. Commercial websites should only be added if they are useful as sources of more information. --Spangineer[es] (háblame)  16:14, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Suggested merging of "tornado emergency" into tornado warning
Completely disagree with this idea. It is a completely separate warning, with a different history, and usage as a tornado warning. AStudent 23:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

 * The first paragraph of tornado emergency states: "There is no official product called a 'tornado emergency' and this wording, when used, does not replace the official Tornado Warning." So how is this different from a tornado warning? From reading it, it just sounds like a fancy term for "extreme tornado warning -- GET OUT OF THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW!!!!" or something.  howcheng  {chat} 21:29, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I also Completly DISAGREE, This is not a warning, but a term used during Diaster's. This is different, Because this is like and is, a Cival Emergency. Its not a Extreme, Its a statment used by the discresion of the metrologist. Most people wouldnt take cover during a Tornado warning here in Texas, I mean, They are usaual, But you get a TORNADO EMERGENCY, A LARGE AND DESTRUCTIVE TORNADO IS 5 MILES SOUTHWEST OF DOWNTOWN DALLAS, THIS IS A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION, TAKE COVER NOW. It worked in OKC (3 Times), It worked in Greensburg. STORM-CHASER. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.94.50.19 (talk • contribs).

 * So essentially this is a colloquialism, still meaning, "imminent tornado warning". I am not convinced this needs a separate article. A section in Tornado warning seems like it would suffice.  howcheng  {chat} 02:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Not a colloquialism. It's a separate warning issued only after a tornado warning is issued. "Imminent tornado warning" doesn't even make sense. All tornado warnings imply tornadoes, but tornado warning doesn't imply tornado emergency. 68.85.145.215 04:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I also DISAGREE, as the original intention of issuing "Tornado emergency" alerts was to differentiate conditions from the broader, much more common alerts. Even if it is just a slight nomenclature difference to compensate for complacency of public, it is intended to elicit a very different reaction from those in the affected area. Also their seems little value added by merging, and if you do wish to merge these what is your reasoning to not include tornado watches. WikipedianYknOK 04:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Tornado emergency was introduced by the local NWS office in Norman, OK on 3 May 1999, to heighten awareness in an area saturated with severe weather coverage and to differentiate an impending disaster of a large tornado striking a heavily populated area. It was done on the spot and informally, and is *not* an official product, so it is not a different product.

From a NWS perspective, it *is* essentially a high end tornado warning, a special kind of warning with a special call-to-action statement, intended to be reserved for only when the warning meteorologist feels that a destructive tornado is about to impact a large population. They are issued in initial tornado warnings, as well as subsequent severe weather statements. They're somewhat analogous to Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) tornado watches, though those are official products with standardized guidelines. Again, however, there are no standardized guidelines for "tornado emergencies", it's completely up to the forecaster's discretion. Tornado emergencies have been issued where there have been no towns hit, when it wasn't certain a town would be hit, for smaller towns, and a few times even when there are only strong radar signatures and nothing confirmed (the latter occurred in the Southeast where tornadoes are very difficult to see and often few sighting reports - i.e. tornado itself, not damage - are received, especially at night), although there is some movement to more control issuance of tornado emergencies.

Tornado emergencies, in some areas, do elicit special action by emergency responders. They may initiate response to a disaster and mass casualty incident before it occurs, however, this to, varies by area and respective organization. It is also their prerogative, there are not set responses like there are in the example of tornado warnings (such as EAS activation, enactment of codified responses, and public facilities sending occupants to shelter). Evolauxia 04:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge "Tornado Emergency" into "Tornado Warning." This artice is redundant. There is no such thing as "Hurricane Emergency" or "Severe Thunderstorm Emergency" so why should there even be a separate article entitled "Tornado Emergency"? Just because some forecasters wisely used this term during a tornado event, this term has not officially replaced "Tornado Warning" as a form of tornado alert.

If anyone can find out what warning header the National Weather Service issues the warning under, then this problem is easily resolved. If the header is the same, it is a tornado warning. If the header is not the same, then it can be considered a seperate National Weather Service product. Ks0stm 10:13, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I've got it!!! A Tornado Emergency is not a tornado warning, but neither is it in actuallity a tornado emergency!  It is, in truth, a severe weather statement. An example is below:  Ks0stm 11:05, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Their being no "Hurricane Emergency" or "Severe Thunderstorm Emergency" is not relevant to this discussion. WikipedianYknOK 04:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't see how this is any different than having an article on National Weather Service bulletin for New Orleans region. As shown above, tornado emergencies aren't tornado warnings, they're independent statements issued only in extreme circumstances. The fact that they are always accompanied by tornado warnings doesn't mean a seperate article isn't warranted. Indeed, the National Weather Service bulletin for New Orleans region could be merged into a Hurricane Warning article, but the severity of the situation, the notability of the event, and the unusual, vivid wording of the statement justify having the article on it--just as having the tornado emergency article does.

This article needs to be updated. Please insert a notice. --75.162.228.238 03:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

How-to violation
The "What to do when a tornado warning is issued" section seems to be in violation of WP:HOWTO. This is probably going to be controversial, so I'm starting this discussion. Cutecutecuteface2000 (Cutecuteface needs attention) 20:10, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

 * First, I sincerely apologize if I'm doing this wrong. I'm new to Wikipedia and struggling to figure out the tech side of how things work around here. I'm chiming in on this older comment with a related query. I do understand the need to avoid a violation of WP:HOWTO and absolutely agree with the policy. That would be a dangerous road.  However, it seems like some very basic information is missing from this page, if not this specific section.  I know that the NWS has statements explaining what it means when a tornado siren goes off. We have nothing here explaining that or at least directing people to the right agency for that information.  Is it possible, without causing a violation of WP:HOWTO, to at least define what the siren blasts mean?  For example, perhaps it could be stated that the NWS instructs local officials to activate their sirens for a Tornado Warning, that the sirens continue for a certain amount of time (how long?), and that they resume to signal an "All Clear" when the danger is past.  Additionally, communities generally test their sirens at a set time each month for a certain amount of time (e.g., the first Wednesday of each month at noon for 60 seconds).  That seems like fairly basic information explaining the usage of the sirens and is not actually giving instructions to people about how they should respond.  My inquiry is prompted by having overheard someone, newly arrived in the Midwestern U.S. from New England, complaining that "fog horns" had sounded twice, waking them during a bad thunderstorm.  They had no idea what the sirens meant, and the person talking to them was struggling to convey the precise policy for when the sirens are activated, particularly the "all clear" signal.  --99.103.93.163 (talk) 18:31, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Reasoning behind 1890s tornado forecast ban
Ref my latest change: while the notion that the ban on using the word "tornado" was instituted because businessmen felt it would endanger potential investments is rather sweet, I wanted to verify whether this was indeed the reasoning. The ban on tornado forecasts is frequently discussed in academic sources, but I could not find any suggesting that it had to do with business investment.

But it's such a delightfully juicy factoid that I'd love to see a source verifying this and to see the idea reinstated. --Caundle (talk) 22:55, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hall of Hewn Stones

The Hall of Hewn Stones (לִשְׁכַּת הגָּזִית), also known as the Chamber of Hewn Stone, was the meeting place, or council-chamber, of the Sanhedrin during the Second Temple period (6th century BCE – 1st century CE). The Talmud deduces that it was built into the north wall of the Temple in Jerusalem, half inside the sanctuary and half outside, with doors providing access both to the temple and to the outside. The chamber is said to have resembled a basilica in appearance, having two entrances: one in the east and one in the west. The name presumably arises to distinguish it from the buildings in the temple complex used for ritual purposes, which had to be constructed of unhewn stones. (The Torah prohibits the use of hewn stones or those touched by iron for the altar per Ex 20:22, Deut 27:6. Various reasons have been given for the prohibition, among them: the purpose of the Temple is peace, while iron implements are used in war; the Temple lengthens human life while iron shortens it; the hewing of stones is an invitation to carving images in them, violating the prohibition against idolatry; and the sword references the earthly power of Esau, not the spiritual power of Jacob/Israel.)

According to the Talmud, the Hall of Hewn Stones is the traditional meeting place of the Great Sanhedrin when it functioned as a court with full sovereign powers including the power to impose criminal penalties.

"It has been taught; R. Jose said; Originally there were not many disputes in Israel, but one Beth din of seventy-one members sat in the Hall of Hewn Stones, and two courts of twenty-three sat, one at the entrance of the Temple Mount and one at the door of the [Temple] Court, and other courts of twenty-three sat in all Jewish cities. If a matter of inquiry arose, the local Beth din was consulted. If they had a tradition [thereon] they stated it; if not, they went to the nearest Beth din. If they had a tradition thereon, they stated it, if not, they went to the Beth din situated at the entrance to the Temple Mount; if they had a tradition, they stated it; if not, they went to the one situated at the entrance of the Court, and he [who differed from his colleagues] declared, 'Thus have I expounded, and thus have my colleagues expounded; thus have I taught, and thus have they taught.' If they had a tradition thereon, they stated it, and if not, they all proceeded to the Hall of Hewn Stones, where they [i.e., the Great Sanhedrin] sat from the morning tamid until the evening tamid; on Sabbaths and festivals they sat within the hall."

- Babylonian Talmud, tractate Sanhedrin 88b

The Sanhedrin stopped meeting in the Hall of Hewn Stones when the Roman Empire restricted Judaea's autonomy and removed the Sanhedrin's power to impose criminal penalties.

Westwood Park, San Francisco

Westwood Park is a residential neighborhood located in southwestern San Francisco, California, near St. Francis Wood and City College of San Francisco. Westwood Park is bordered by Monterey Boulevard (to the north), Ocean Avenue (to the south), Faxon Avenue (to the west), and Phelan Avenue now Frida Kahlo Way (to the east). Architecturally, the neighborhood contains a mix of smaller, more modest Craftsman style and Mediterranean style bungalows on a series of concentric oval-shaped streets. The ovals are bisected by Miramar Avenue, which features a landscaped median planted with a variety of trees. Many streets in this neighborhood have a suffix of "wood," such as Eastwood, Northwood, Wildwood.

History
Baldwin & Howell, one of San Francisco's oldest real estate firms, developed Westwood Park in 1916. Their mission was to create "a modern residence park which was to be a model home community for the family of average means". The main architect, Charles F. Strothoff, designed nearly 500 of the 650 houses in Westwood Park. Ida F. McCain designed just over 100 bungalows for the development. The development spanned over approximately five years, from 1918 through 1923, after World War I ended. From 1918 – 1923, a series of newspaper advertisements promoted Westwood Park as “an ideal vacation without leaving the city”, and a place where you could “give your children the right kind of a start”. One advertisement declared "young married people find that the sunshine and fresh air take the place of medicines for their children..." Homebuyers could choose the design of their choice from a catalog by the contracting firm of Barrett & Hilp. Each home ranged from 5 to 8 rooms at different price levels. The Park was laid out in an elongated oval shape with multiple rings radiating out from a central intersection with curvilinear streets, reminiscent of the Olmsted tradition.

The Westwood Park pillars and gateways have been officially designated as historic landmarks by the city supervisors. Constructed in 1916 at three intersections - Miramar Avenue and Monterey Boulevard, Miramar and Ocean Avenues, and Judson Avenue and Frida Kahlo Way. They were designed by architect Louis Christian Mullgardt for Westwood Park developers Archibald S. Baldwin and Josiah Howell.

The residents in Westwood Park formed The Westwood Park Association on March 22, 1917, to serve the community of 650 homes. Westwood Park development's 1917 founding documents read: "No person of African, Japanese, Chinese or any Mongolian descent shall be allowed to purchase, own or lease any real property in said Westwood Park." In 1959, the first black family, Dorothy Mae Provost Adams, and her husband, Artemus Adams, were able to purchase a house in the neighborhood with the help of a third party. Upon learning that the home was sold to a black family, the seller refused to give the Adams the keys to their new home. After six months of failed attempts to convince the seller that they should be allowed to move in, the Adams broke into their own home and began the long-delayed process of moving in.

Although racial restrictions were declared illegal and unenforceable in 1948 by Shelley v. Kraemer, social pressure and threats of violence were used to keep neighborhoods segregated, such as the 1958 cross burning in the nearby neighborhood of Ingleside Terraces.

In 1992, the racial language was removed from the Westwood Park CC&R's and refiled with the city.

Section IV of the neighborhood's covenants prohibits the construction of "any flats, apartment houses ... nor shall any building be erected thereon excepting only residence or dwelling houses, nor shall more than one residence or dwelling house be erected on any single lot."

Opened in 1978 It was quite popular in the 1980s and the breeding ground for a group of influential comics, once known as the Texas Outlaw Comics that included Ron Shock, Riley Barber, Bill Hicks, Jimmy Pineapple, Steve Epstein, John Farnetti, Carl LaBove and Andy Huggins. Comedian Brett Butler of Grace Under Fire fame and SNL longtime writer T. Sean Shannon honed their skills as members of the CW competitive dysfunction. In addition, Sam Kinison had his beginnings at the Workshop as well, with it being the location of where his 1993 posthumous comedy album, Live from Hell, was recorded.

The workshop side of the Comedy Workshop was a spawning ground for improvisational comedic actors, with regular shows made up of Sketches, primarily those grown out of improvisational exercises. The founders were Steve and Vicki Farrell and Paul and Sharon Menzel. It grew out of the collaboration of the Farrells and Menzels at Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when the founders came to Houston in the 1970s.

Rich Mills, who went on to perform with the Farrells at the Radio Music Theater was a longtime collaborator.

Pat Southard was the Workshop's indispensable Keyboard player and offstage collaborator, contributing musical cues, live sound effects (including billiard balls in a one foot square pool table) and occasional voices. Pat, along with Rich Mills moved on to the Radio Music Theater with the Farrells.

Numerous alumni from the Workshop and the Comedy Workshop Touring Company went on to involvement in national projects. Pat Dougherty went on to write and produce the long Running sitcom Empty Nest, spun off from Golden Girls. Other notable performers at the Workshop or in the Touring Company include Jerry Young, Kathy Drago, Stewart Arnold, Pamela Richards, Roger Manning, Ken Polk, Ronnie Foster (sic), Karen Rosen, Toni Potts, Kevin Cawood, Shane McClure, Sylvia Cooper, EJ Nolan, Author, Dan Barton, Producer, Fred Greenlee, Ericc Davis, Louis Allen Epstein, Bill Silva, Philip Owens, Mike Shiloh, David Ayala, and Dee Macaluso, who was among many who worked both sides of the Workshop doing both Improv Comedy, as well as Standup in the Annex. The Workshop closed in the early 1990s and then became a dry cleaners, which closed as well.

The Comedy Workshop is now a high end liquor and fine wines store in 2013.

Federation of Astronomical Societies

The Federation of Astronomical Societies (FAS) is an international union of astronomical societies formed in 1974 and will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024. Its motto is "Supporting UK Astronomy", and there is also one member society from Spain. As of November 2021, it has over 200 member societies.

FAS publishes a newsletter 6 times a year, which is sent to its member societies, and holds in-person conventions as well as events online. The FAS is run by a council of elected volunteers.

A major benefit for local societies is to be able to arrange Public Liability Insurance from a policy which is shared between the members, greatly reducing the policy fee.

Conventions
The FAS on-line convention in April 2021 was addressed by Lord Martin_Rees, the UK Astronomer Royal. Another speaker was George Tahu, the Lead Program executive for Mars_2020, speaking from Washington, D.C.

The Autumn 2021 Convention was the first national in-person astronomy event in the UK since 2019, due to COVID. It took place at the National Space Centre in Leicester on Saturday 13 November.

The 2022 convention was on 12 November in Oxford. The theme was "Women In Astronomy" — the keynote speaker was Dame Jocelyn Bell-Burnell.

Ovinnik

The Ovinnik (Овинник), Joŭnik or Jownik (Ёўнік) is a malevolent spirit of the threshing house in Slavic folklore whose name derived from ovin 'barn'. He is prone to burning down the threshing houses by setting fire to the grain. To placate him, peasants would offer him roosters and bliny. On New Year's Eve, the touch of an Ovinnik would determine their fortune for the New Year. A warm touch meant good luck and fortune, while a cold touch meant unhappiness.

Bishops and archbishops of Bolnisi

Bolnisi is a city in the country of Georgia, the capital of Bolnisi district, which has long been the seat of either a bishop or an archbishop.

Bolnisi has been a center of Georgian Christianity since early Christian times, being the site of an early and important monastery. The Bolnisi Cathedral was built in 478–493 under the rule of Vakhtang I of Iberia and is the source of the Bolnisi cross, which came to be a national symbol of Georgia.

In 2009, the Bishop of Bolnisi was summoned to Tbilisi and advised to see to it that the large number of crosses which had been erected around Muslim areas of Bolnisi as a provocation were removed, which he was partly but not entirely successful in doing.

Bishops of Bolnisi

 * c. late 5th century: David. Nothing is known of this person, but there is an ancient inscription in Bolnisi Sioni: "Christ, have mercy on David the Bishop with his congregation..."
 * c. early 9th century: St. John of Khakuhli, a learned theologian, translator, and calligrapher was, according to some sources, Bishop of Bolnisi before moving to Khakuhli. Another manuscript casts this into dispute.
 * 1748 or 1749–?: Timote Gabashvili. He was given the Diocese of Bolnisi by the Patriarch Anton. He was simultaneously Archbishop of Kutaisi, at least in title (in practice he had been deposed by the Turks).
 * 21st century: Jegudiel (ტაბატაძე, Tabatadze)
 * Present : Ephrem (გამრეკელიძე, Gamrekelidze).

Archbishops of Bolnisi

 * 1995–2004: Thaddeus (თადეოზ, Tadeoz or Tadeozi; full name Mirian Ioramashvili) (born 1946). Thaddeus was ordained in 1977, elevated to bishop in 1979, archbishop in 1984, and metropolitan in 2003. He was Archbishop of Bolnisi from 1995 to 2004.

Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy

The Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy is a Canadian non-profit organization based in Edmonton, Alberta, claiming to promote responsible government and advocating provincial rights, Senate reform, and judicial restraint.

History
The Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy was established in 2003 by Link Byfield, a journalist and businessman. He is best known as a writer, editor, and publisher of the Alberta Report magazine, and one of Alberta's senators-in-waiting. Byfield was the centre's founding chairman. Its operations manager is Craig Docksteader, formerly of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

In October 2006, the centre hosted the Calgary Congress, which explored Canadian federalism. Attendees included Preston Manning, Ralph Klein, Jason Kenney, and separatist Leon Craig. The congress concluded by advocating a rebalancing of confederation in conformation, making provinces fully responsible for their own internal social and economic affairs, the advocacy of an elected Senate to represent and protect the provinces, and the creation of counterbalances against centralizing tendencies and against expanding influence of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Principles
The Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy promotes government that act with the following characteristics.

 * Honest government - Honest government is self-policing, transparent, open, respectful and impartial.
 * Accountable government - Accountable government is democratic. All public policies set by courts and cabinets are subjected to approval, scrutiny and amendment by the elected representatives of the people, or by referendum.
 * Constitutional government - Constitutional government is self-restrained, confining its activities and taxation to the responsibilities laid down by the Constitution Acts.

Entry into politics
In June 2007, the Citizens Centre decided to abandon its earlier decision to remain a non-partisan lobby group and instead to enter the political arena by forming the socially- and politically-conservative Wildrose Alliance Party.

Talk:Washington State Route 509

Route description
The landmarks given in the description seem to be from liberal definitions of what the highway goes past. The concurrency with SR 516 is stated to go "past" Mount Rainier High School. This is true in a general sense, but the school is not actually by the highway. The route goes "past" the school in the same sense that I-5 goes "past" Mount Saint Helens. It does, and it doesn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.180.211.253 (talk) 23:35, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Simonside Dwarfs

The Simonside Dwarfs, also known as Brownmen, Bogles and Duergar, are in English folklore a race of dwarfs, particularly associated with the Simonside Hills of Northumberland, in northern England. Their leader was said to be known as Heslop.

In F. Grice's telling of the traditional story The Duergar in Folk Tales of the North Country (1944), one of them is described as being short, wearing a lambskin coat, moleskin trousers and shoes, and a hat made of moss stuck with a feather.

The legendary dwarfs of Simonside were mentioned in the local newspaper, the Morpeth Gazette, in 1889, and in Tyndale's Legends and Folklore of Northumbria, 1930. They delighted in leading travellers astray, especially after dark, often carrying lighted torches to lead them into bogs, rather like a Will-o'-the-wisp. The menacing creatures would often disappear at dawn.

The word duergar is likely to be derived from the dialectal words for "dwarf" on the Anglo-Scottish border which include dorch, dwerch, duerch, Duergh and Duerwe amongst others  with a later, mistakenly added Norse -ar plural, perhaps as a result of linguistic misattestation. It may also come from the Old Norse word for dwarf or dwarfs (dvergar). These Border words for "dwarf", like the Standard English form, all derive from the Old English dweorh or dweorg via the Middle English dwerg.

In the 2004 film Van Helsing, the Duergar are the minions of Count Dracula.
