John Armstrong (British Army officer)

Major-General John Armstrong (31 March 1674 – 15 April 1742) was a British military engineer and soldier, who served as Chief Royal Engineer and Surveyor-General of the Ordnance.

He played a leading role in establishing the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich as a dedicated training academy for engineers.

Life
John Armstrong was born on 31 March 1674 in the village of Ballyan, in what is now County Offaly in Ireland. He was the eldest son of Robert (c.1651–1716) and Lydia Armstrong (c.1649–1715), originally from the Scottish Borders and distantly related to the notorious reiver Johnnie Armstrong. He had two sisters, Lydia (1680–1715) and Elizabeth (1679-ca 1730); his brothers Samuel (1676–1710) and Michael (1678–1757) also served in the army.

In 1710, he married Anna Burroughs (ca 1690–1725) and they had five daughters, Lydia (1718–1775), Anne (1719–1783), Frances (1720–1763), Mary (1721–1790) and Priscilla (1725-?).

Career
The 1688 Glorious Revolution sent James II into exile and in an attempt to regain his kingdoms, he landed in Ireland in March 1689, launching the Williamite War in Ireland; in 1691, Armstrong joined the Duke of Ormonde's Horse Guards, part of the Williamite army. Captured by Jacobite forces, he was released when the war ended with the October 1691 Treaty of Limerick and in 1695, he enrolled in his relative Philip Armstrong's troop, part of Wood's Regiment of Horse, later 3rd Dragoon Guards. After the Nine Years War ended with the Treaty of Ryswick in 1697, the regiment returned to England.

At the start of the War of the Spanish Succession, he served at Cadiz under Ormonde, who recommended him to Holcroft Blood (1660–1707), Marlborough's chief engineer. Armstrong served in the Flanders campaign, including Blenheim in 1704 and the Siege of Bouchain in 1711. He worked with fellow engineer and long-time acquaintance Thomas Lascelles and they remained close colleagues until Armstrong's death in 1742. He managed to retain his positions through the political struggles of 1712–1715 and was appointed Quartermaster-General to the Forces just before the war ended with the 1713 Peace of Utrecht.

The treaty included the provision that France 'level the fortifications of Dunkirk, block up the port and demolish the sluices that scour the harbour, (which) shall never be reconstructed.' For decades before and after, Dunkirk was a major privateer base for raiding British merchantmen, since it was possible to reach the North Sea in a single tide and escape Royal Navy patrols in the Channel. This made it a high profile operation of great significance to the powerful London mercantile interest and in September 1713, Armstrong and his colleague Thomas Lascelles were appointed to supervise operations. After the accession of George I in 1714, Marlborough was restored as Master-General of the Ordnance and initiated a series of reforms. Armstrong became Chief Royal Engineer, with his predecessor Michael Richards as Surveyor-General of the Ordnance; on his recommendation, the Ordnance Service was divided in 1716 into artillery and sappers or engineers, later the Royal Engineers and the Royal Artillery. In May, Armstrong was at The Foundery in Moorfields watching a demonstration of captured French cannon being recast when an explosion killed 17 of the 25 people present; he was one of the very few to escape injury and the accident led to the institution of the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich.

He returned to England in 1718 with Lascelles taking over at Dunkirk; in addition to his official duties, he was involved in multiple activities, becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society in May 1723. His proposals for improving port facilities at King's Lynn were included as an appendix to Thomas Badeslade's 1725 work 'History of the ancient and present state of the navigation of the port of King's Lyn.' In the 1720s, he designed and constructed a lake at Blenheim Palace, later replaced by a Capability Brown feature.

He was closely involved in setting up the Royal Arsenal and Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, served as Colonel of the Royal Regiment of Ireland from 1735 to 1742 and promoted Major-General in 1739. Late in 1741, he was taken ill at his office in the Tower of London where he died on 15 April 1742; he was buried in the chapel attached to the Tower, the Church of St Peter ad Vincula.

Düsseldorf School of painting

The Düsseldorf School of painting is a term referring to a group of painters who taught or studied at the Düsseldorf Academy (now the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf or Düsseldorf State Art Academy) roughly between 1819 and 1918, first directed by the painter Wilhelm von Schadow.

About
The work of the Düsseldorf School is characterized by finely detailed yet fanciful landscapes, often with religious or allegorical stories set in the landscapes. Major members of the Düsseldorf School advocated "plein air painting", and tended to use a palette with relatively subdued and even colors. The Düsseldorf School derived from and was a part of the German Romantic movement. Prominent members of the Düsselorf School included von Schadow, Karl Friedrich Lessing, Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, Andreas Achenbach, Hans Fredrik Gude, Adolph Tidemand, Oswald Achenbach, and Adolf Schrödter.

The Düsseldorf School had a significant influence on the Hudson River School in the United States, and many prominent Americans trained at the Düsseldorf Academy and show the influence of the Düsseldorf School, including George Caleb Bingham, David Edward Cronin, Eastman Johnson, Worthington Whittredge, Richard Caton Woodville, William Stanley Haseltine, James McDougal Hart, Helen Searle, and William Morris Hunt, as well as German émigré Emanuel Leutze. Albert Bierstadt applied but was not accepted. His American friend Worthington Whittredge became his teacher while attending Düsseldorf.

John Paine (sport shooter)

John Bryant Paine (April 19, 1870 in Boston, Massachusetts – August 1, 1951 in Weston, Massachusetts) was an American shooter. He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.

Paine was the son of Charles Jackson Paine who was a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, and also was the younger brother to Sumner Paine. He graduated from Harvard College.

Paine was a member of the Boston Athletic Association, the association were sending over members to Athens for the 1896 Summer Olympics, Paine decided to go along but first stopped in Paris to convince his brother Sumner to join him.

Paine entered all three of the pistol events at the 1896 Games, but actually competed in only one. He, along with his brother Sumner Paine, was disqualified from the rapid fire pistol event for not having the appropriate caliber pistol. Both of the Paines used Colt revolvers, firearms that were far superior to those used by their opponents in the 25 metre military pistol event, John won the event easily, scoring 442 points on 25 hits out of 30 shots, Sumner was not far behind, at 380 points on 23 hits; the third-place finisher, the Greek Nikolaos Morakis, scored only 205 points.

Paine then withdrew from the 30 metre free pistol event, citing his desire to not embarrass his Greek hosts. He also said he had an agreement with his brother that whoever won the first event between them would drop out the next event.

After the Olympics, Paine went on to serve in the Spanish–American War before returning to Boston, Massachusetts, and becoming a wealthy investment banker.

Paine is also the great-grandfather of Cécile Tucker who competed in 1996 Summer Olympics in a rowing event.

Talk:Star Fox: Assault

Trivia
I removed the trivia portion that was added becuase it isn't really notable for the game. A lot of games have barrles rolling down that the player has to avoid, such as in Star Fox Adventures, and is really an old gaming cliché such as the exploding barrels and crate pushing, and I doubt Namco was directly referring to Donkey Kong when they designed it. Referring to the game Asteroids - every Star Fox game, let alone every space shooter game, has a level or a portion of a level where you shoot asteroids. Its space - your gonna run into them, although in actuality that many asteroids on-screen isn't really indicitive of real space. I saw no need to refer to both games here, so that's why I removed it. Thunderbrand 17:07, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

One vs. Three Year(s) after Adventures
The main site says that Adventures was one year before Assault, sadly it's a Flash page, so you'll have to follow my instructions to get there. Go to the main website, [www.starfox.com], then enter the site. Click the center of the page to skip over ROB talking to you, then click the text that says "Skip Intro". Once you're at the main page, click the small blue light on the left of the Lylat system hologram, which represents the planet Sauria. On the left panel, it talks about how Sauria was invaded by General Scales, one year ago. -- VederJuda 01:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikify, please.
I added wikify tags because the section needed to be reformatted to fit the Manual of Style. The number of links is fine. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ShadowHntr (talk • contribs).

Voice cast
I don't think listing the voice cast is really neccessary here. The actors are already listed at the character pages. Thunderbrand 02:31, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

GA review
This is very good, a few things to do before it gets the status; And you'll be set! Great article! You should take it to FA when its done here. Judgesurreal777 05:37, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * start a development section. You already have some material, like the aparite creatures being borg that can be put in there. not sure how hard it will be to do, so start it up!
 * create middle paragraph in lead briefly explaining the plot.
 * set up a ==Plot and setting== section like Final Fantasy VI, with setting, characters and plot sections, that will allow more game info in a proper out of universe format.
 * get the instruction manual to reference the gameplay section, tons of primary source material can be found in it.
 * Okay, I will see to it. The development of the game might be hard to source, though. I haven't seen much on the internet or anywhere detailing the dev. phases. Thunderbrand 23:47, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure it can go through without at least some development info....that's pretty basic for an article of this type. If i let it go through without it, a challenge may be mounted to its status....

take some time, see if you can put together at least a small development section, and then use a game instruction manual and reference the gameplay section. Your doing great, so keep trying! Judgesurreal777 17:14, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * After doing some super scrounging the net, I managed to add a development section. The instruction manual has been referenced, and your other suggestions were added. Thunderbrand 04:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

This is a Good Article
Fantastic job, short but very, very good article. Judgesurreal777 15:15, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much. It was a lot of work but it paid off. Also I would like to thank the editors who helped fix-up the article in the process. Thunderbrand 17:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion
The section on aparoids should be trimmed and added to characters, it seems logical. Judgesurreal777 05:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do. Thunderbrand 22:58, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I am impressed by how much better it looks this way. :) Judgesurreal777 23:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Multiplayer statement
Whoever keeps putting "the multiplayer portion is considered to be one of the weaker aspects of the game" needs to stop. This is STRICTLY AN OPINION, and one I personally do not share, no matter how many people think this, or how many sources you have that state this OPINION. Wikipedia is meant to present FACTS, NOT OPINIONS. You can put this on your own website as much as you wish, but IT DOES NOT BELONG HERE. -Anony
 * I see no problem with it. By your opinion, we should completely remove the whole "reception" part. Thunderbrand 15:23, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

OK then, why not put it there where it belongs? If there is a "reception" section, it obviously needs to be there. The article really shouldn't have any opinionated statements about the game unless they're in that section. -Anony
 * Alright. I removed the sentence, which was pretty much covered by a similar statement. Thunderbrand 01:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Anony about multiplayer not sucking, in fact, next to smash bros, I consider it the best multiplayer game PEROID. So why does everyone hate it? I like it. then again I like shadow too... 74.241.193.116 01:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Content Loss
Prior to the release of Star Fox Assault, there were numerous rumbling amongst the inner circle of Star Fox fans that there were some crippling bugs and errors in the original version of Star Fox that eventually lead to most of the game having to be redone/reprogrammed. Does anyone have any further information on this, by chance? It is quite interesting to compare some of the earliest footage with the later development, and to compare both to the actual game; there are definitely significant changes amongst the three.Fox P McCloud (talk) 08:13, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Dick Dietz

Richard Allen Dietz (September 18, 1941 – June 28, 2005) was an American professional baseball player and manager. He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher from 1966 to 1973, most prominently as a member of the San Francisco Giants where he was an All-Star player and was a member of the team that won the 1971 National League Western Division title. He also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves. After his playing career, Dietz worked as a minor league manager in the Giants organization.

Playing career
Born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, Dietz was signed by the San Francisco Giants as an amateur free agent out of Greenville, South Carolina before the start of the 1960 season. He showed some promise as a hitter, posting a .354 batting average with 35 home runs and 101 runs batted in while playing for the El Paso Sun Kings in the Texas League in 1963.

Dietz made his major league debut with the Giants on June 18, 1966 at the age of 24. Nicknamed Mule, he played as the Giants backup catcher behind Tom Haller in 1967. In September, Dietz was named to the 1967 Topps All-Star Rookie Team. In February 1968, the Giants were in need of good infielders, and with four young catching prospects in their system, including Dietz, club president Chub Feeney decided to trade Haller along with a player to be named later, to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Ron Hunt and Nate Oliver. Dietz shared catching duties with Jack Hiatt and Bob Barton in 1968, producing a .272 batting average with 6 home runs and 38 runs batted in.

Dietz was featured prominently in a controversial umpiring decision during the 1968 season. The Giants were facing Dodgers' pitcher Don Drysdale, who was in the midst of a scoreless inning streak that eventually reached a record-setting $58 2/3$ innings. The Giants had the bases loaded with no outs and Dietz at bat. Dietz was hit by a pitch, apparently ending Drysdale's scoreless innings streak. However, home plate umpire Harry Wendelstedt, citing a rarely enforced rule, refused to allow Dietz to take first base, claiming that Dietz did not attempt to avoid being struck by the ball. Drysdale then retired Dietz and the next two batters, keeping his scoreless streak alive. Dietz was the Giants catcher on September 17, 1968, when Gaylord Perry pitched a no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals. In 1969, Dietz continued to share the catching duties with Hiatt and Barton. When the other two players were traded before the start of the 1970 season, Dietz became the Giants' regular starting catcher.

In his first season as a full-time player in 1970, Dietz hit for a .337 batting average with 18 home runs and 77 runs batted in at mid-season. Although he was not listed on the All-Star ballot and received few write-in votes, the manager for the National League All-Star team, Gil Hodges, named Dietz as a reserve player for the National League team. In the 1970 All-Star Game, Dietz replaced Johnny Bench in the top of the seventh inning and led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a home run off Catfish Hunter that helped spark a rally that tied the game. The National League went on to win the game in the twelfth inning with a climactic collision at home plate between Pete Rose and Ray Fosse (It was Dietz who was in the on deck circle, congratulating Rose immediately after the collision). He ended the 1970 season with career-highs in batting average (.300), home runs (22), runs batted in (107), walks (109) and in on-base percentage (.426). , Dietz remains the only catcher in Major League Baseball history to record at least 100 walks, 100 runs batted in and a .300 batting average in one season.

Dietz was an integral member of the 1971 Giants team that clinched the National League Western Division title. The Giants had a nine-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 1, but held on during a pennant race to win the division by a narrow one-game margin. Dietz caught every game during the tense final stages of the season, and provided offensive support with 19 home runs and 72 runs batted in. In the only post-season appearance of his career, Dietz had only one hit in 15 at-bats, as the Giants lost to the eventual world champion Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1971 National League Championship Series.

In 1972, Dietz fell from favor with the Giants' management for his role as player representative during the 1972 Major League Baseball strike that delayed the start of the season. Other reports stated that the Giants gave up on Dietz because of his defensive liabilities, having led National League catchers in passed balls in 1970 and 1971. Soon after the strike was settled, he was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dietz broke his wrist on July 30 and missed much of the 1972 season. In 1973, Dietz had an excellent season as a reserve first baseman and catcher for the Braves, batting .295 with a .474 on-base percentage. However, the Braves released him after the season, and after no team signed him for 1974, Dietz' career was over at the age of 32.

Career statistics
In an eight-year major league career, Dietz played in 646 games, accumulating 478 hits in 1,829 at bats for a .261 career batting average along with 66 home runs, 301 runs batted in and an on-base percentage of .390. Among major league catchers, he ranks third overall in career on-base percentage behind only Mickey Cochrane and Wally Schang. Although he was better known for his power hitting, he was a capable defensive catcher, ending his career with a .981 fielding percentage.

Later life
After his retirement as a player, Dietz served as a minor league coach and manager. He managed the San Jose Giants in 1993 and 1994, the Sioux Falls Canaries in 1995 and the Sonoma County Crushers from 1996 to 1999.

Dietz died at age 63 of a heart attack in Clayton, Georgia on June 28, 2005. He was survived by his wife and children.

Rhythm and Blues (professional wrestling)

Rhythm & Blues was a tag team composed of The Honky Tonk Man and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine in the World Wrestling Federation from 1989 to 1991 and later on in the independent circuit for a short run.

Background
Both the Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine were a part of manager Jimmy Hart's stable of wrestlers in the WWF, and both had previously held the WWF Intercontinental Title. Greg Valentine had also held the WWF Tag Team Championship with Brutus Beefcake as one half of The Dream Team. Honky Tonk Man and Valentine were also on the same team at Survivor Series 1988.

Team
In 1988, The Hart Foundation turned face and started a feud with former manager Jimmy Hart for picking The Fabulous Rougeaus over them. Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine teamed up (under the team name of “Double Trouble,“ though the announcers rarely used this name) to defend Jimmy Hart through the early parts of 1989 with the two teams facing off at WrestleMania V with the Hart Foundation winning the match. After the loss Honky Tonk Man and Valentine focused on singles feuds with "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka and ”Rugged” Ronnie Garvin respectively.

After the Fabulous Rougeaus left the WWF, Jimmy Hart reunited the Hammer and the Honky Tonk Man, gave them the team name “Rhythm and Blues,” and made changes to Greg Valentine’s appearance. Valentine had always been a blonde, ungimmicked wrestler who favored the traditional wrestling robe, but when teamed with the Honky Tonk Man, Valentine’s hair got dyed jet black, he was given Elvis style shades, a white jacket and a guitar, though he quite obviously did not know how to play. Commentator Gorilla Monsoon nicknamed Greg Valentine “Boxcar” when he saw his changed appearance (most likely after Blues singer “Boxcar Willie”). As a commentator, Roddy Piper once opined "Elvis would be turnin' over in his grave if he was dead." In an interview for World Wrestling Insanity, the Honky Tonk Man states the team name was a suggestion made by Rick Rude.

Perhaps their most memorable moment came at WrestleMania VI when they were driven to the ring in a pink Cadillac driven by the then unknown Diamond Dallas Page. In the ring, they debuted their new song, "Hunka Hunka Honky Love"; the song was interrupted by The Bushwhackers who attacked them and broke their guitars much to the delight of the fans. The two teams had a lengthy feud over the summer of 1990 before Rhythm and Blues challenged the tag team champions the Hart Foundation for the titles during the fall. The team had several shots at the gold, but came up short every time.

At the 1990 Survivor Series, Rhythm and Blues partnered with Ted DiBiase on his "Million Dollar Team" along with the debuting Undertaker, taking on Dusty Rhodes' "Dream Team" of the Hart Foundation and Koko B. Ware. DiBiase would go on to be the only survivor for his team.

Break up
Near the end of 1990 the Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine started arguing when Valentine got tired of Jimmy Hart’s interference in their matches. This was supposed to lead to a feud between Greg Valentine and the Honky Tonk Man, but the Honky Tonk Man left the federation in January 1991 thus nullifying the feud.

At some point after both men left the WWF the team reunited in the Northern States Wrestling Alliance where they won the tag team titles once.

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

The result of the debate was Keep and redirect to Missing sun motif. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 15:10, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Missing Sun myth

 * Note to closing admin: This VfD relates to a cut and paste move which resulted in an edit war. Please keep this in mind when deciding how to close the VfD. Kelly Martin 12:22, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

NOTE THE CAPITALISATION

Article is a copy+paste duplicate of Missing sun motif, created by a user to suit their side of an edit war.

 * Delete & redirect to Missing sun motif.     17:08, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You can't delete AND redirect. --AI 10:27, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Sure we can. Delete the contents of the fork file and put a redirect in its place. Easy. DreamGuy 16:08, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * You can't put a redirect into something that's been deleted unless you're talking about recreating the file after the delete. But that would be called Delete, recreate, redirect. Take a look at dab's comment. IMHO, the actions by DreamGuy and Ril are bad faith and POV. --AI 22:47, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete - this is the proper name of the article, but it's better to delete this and change the name of the orginal article back. elvenscout742 18:34, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Elvenscout742's solution. --AI 10:25, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * hello? you don't need a vfd for this. Simply redirect to the original, any user can do that. If I remember correctly, we do have a MoS guideline to capitalize celestial bodies like Sun, Earth, Moon etc. Not that I care, though, clearly one of these needs to be a redirect, never mind which. If people decide they want the article at Missing Sun myth after all, the place to go is WP:RM.
 * Actually, the MoS says we capitalize the bodies when used in a scientific/astronomical context. The example on Capitalization "the sun was warm today" (or something like that) clearly shows that in other cases it is lowercase. This whole thing is a result of the original editor, elvenscout, refusing to follow the manual of style. DreamGuy 04:45, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, that is only a guideline. --AI 01:38, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, yes, we could write all our articles in bold if we wanted, but it would be heavily frowned upon.     10:33, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * What would warrant having all bold lettering? Your point is irrelevant. --AI 10:20, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * No, the point is quite relevant, you just aren't following along. If you made an entire article bold, breaking Manual of Style guidelines, it'd be undone. If you miscapitalizae the word sun, you are also breaking the guidelines. Saying they are "just guidelines" is entirely missing the point. DreamGuy 03:26, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

*Keep Do not redirect. The reason given for this VfD is misleading. Check the facts I have prepared with references for ease of understanding for those of you who don't have time to deal with such a "petty issue." --AI 01:38, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per dab royblumy 00:25 13 July, 2005 (UTC)
 * REDIRECTED to Missing sun motif since this was just a c/p of that article, whether to move this article back or not is an issue for a later time and not an issue for a VFD. Jtkiefer 01:02, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * strong Keep - this article is the orgional, and was turned into Missing sun motif by dreamGuy against consensus, hence delete Missing Sun Motif instead. Gabrielsimon 06:02, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Please do not go replacing either article with a redirect or remove the VfD header from Missing Sun myth. Please leave the responsibility to do this to whoever closes the VfD (which should be taking place very soon now).  Kelly Martin 04:56, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * I've protected both pages pending the completion of this VfD because you people can't seem to resist the urge to edit war. Stop it, all of you.  I leave it to the closing admin to remove the protection and decide what to do with the articles.  Kelly Martin 05:13, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and work out what to move and redirect to where afterward. Two versions of one article is unacceptable. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:12, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * thats exactly why missing syn motif has to go.Gabrielsimon 05:15, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * While I agree with you in theory, Gabrielsimon, it is the copy-paste one that has to go. Once it is gone, we can try to work out an arrangement by which "Missing sun motif" can be moved back to its original name. After this is deleted (and hopefully it will be), we can put the original one (which had its name wrongly changed) up on Requested moves. Then it will all end.elvenscout742 12:19, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Putting the article back at Missing Sun myth involves not one but two blatant errors (improper capitalization and incorrect word choice) and isn't at all likely to happen. DreamGuy 15:13, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Dreamguy you started this edit war on such a petty issue? --AI 10:18, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Nope, I just fixed the problems with the article. The edit war began when people ignored the errors and decided to return it to the original incorrect version out of personal spite (as shown in the RfC that already happened over the article). And if it is a petty issue, why is that you feel so strongly about it that you kept reverting it even after the VfD started so that the pages in question had to be protected? DreamGuy 16:08, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * You reverted the page more often than I did. This is a petty issue, and you are the one enforcing your determining of "errors" based on a Wikipedia guideline. When consensus did not support your point of view, you acted against the wishes of those engaged in the discussion and moved the page and you used snide comments to discredit your opposition. IMHO, that is BAD FAITH. --AI 22:47, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Consensus does support my view... the only people who do not are the original article's creator and two people (yourself and Gabrielsimon) who actively looked through my edits to undo things I did. What you call consensus was really just a gang up of people who didn't care about the article and wanted to get back at me personally... Now that more people have weighed in they are overwhelmingly against you. And your failed RfC on this issue further proves the point. DreamGuy 03:26, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * when you commmited these actions, consensus was against you, . see the edit histories on talk pages for proof. Gabrielsimon 03:29, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Only if by "consensus" you mean the original article author and two editors with a proven history making incredibly bad decisions solely to undo changes I made without having any history or knowledge of the articles in question... Now that editors who are willing to actually look at the article have done so, consensus is clearly established showing that you were wrong. You already lost your RfC, you've lost all these other disputes you've caused just to be difficult, isn't it about time you just gave it a rest and stopped your petty harassment for a change? DreamGuy 03:53, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * for one thing i hve never harassed you. not really.  you might call it that to play victim, but tis npt whats going on, and for a seconbdthing, you just admitted TWO editors to your one vote said not to, thats yoiu going agsinst consensus if anything is. Gabrielsimon 03:57, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * sincve missing sun myth is the origiona;l ., then why isnt missing sun motif the copy paste? Gabrielsimon 12:20, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Because [[Missing sun motif] wasn't a copy & paste, it was moved, following standard Wikipedia policy concerning moves, taking the article, history and talk file with it. Your copying and pasting the text of the article back erases the history and the edit comments and creates a fork file, which is against Wikipedia policy.

 * Redirect to Missing sun motif. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) 12:25, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Missing sun motif, the accurate title of the topic. Considering that the editors involved have reverted the various articles (main one and three redirects) in question even knowing that a VfD was in process and that their RfC over the conflict failed to win any suport, deleting is a bad idea as the editors will no doubt just move the article back to the location against the clear concensus of everyone involved and require an admin to step in to set things right again. DreamGuy 15:13, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

COMMENT COMMENT
 * User:AI and then User:Elvenscout742 requested that I'd vote here, althought I find it rather amusing that the whole thing began about a disagreement about capitalization. Now, in the old Amaterasu edit (couple of years ago) I used the term I am familiar with and, as far as I know, capitalization is irrelevant. However, I know more about history than mythological studies and more about Carl Jung than Joseph Campbell. If there is another, more scholarly or official term for these mythological tales, I'm afraid that you have to consult people who have majored in comparative mythology and state your sources. My information in that respect is second-hand.
 * Now, as far as I can see, the article in question is a copy of the other one. Since WP usually tries to preserve the edit history of the original text, the copy-paste should go. Regardless of the final name of the article, at least one version of the "missing sun myth" should stay at least as a redirect (and mentioned in the article), since it is in use at least in the circles I know - Skysmith 12:48, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * If the new cut & paste is deleted, the talk page should be merged into the original because much of the recent discussion is occuring on the cut & paste article. --AI 13:52, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable to me - Skysmith 08:30, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

NOTE TO VOTERS, ADMINS, AND OUTSIDE VIEWS: Please examine the circumstances regarding capitalization which is the basis of dispute and the cause of this VfD. --AI 11:20, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Further Note: one article uses the term "myth" the other "motif"     16:55, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Pumpkin seed

A pumpkin seed, also known as a pepita (from the Mexican pepita de calabaza, 'little seed of squash'), is the edible seed of a pumpkin or certain other cultivars of squash. The seeds are typically flat and oval with one axis of symmetry, have a white outer husk, and are light green in color after the husk is removed. Some pumpkin cultivars are huskless, and are grown only for their edible seed. The seeds are nutrient- and calorie-rich, with an especially high content of fat (particularly linoleic acid and oleic acid), protein, dietary fiber, and numerous micronutrients. Pumpkin seed can refer either to the hulled kernel or unhulled whole seed, and most commonly refers to the roasted end product used as a snack.

Cuisine
Pumpkin seeds are a common ingredient in Mexican cuisine and are also roasted and served as a snack. Marinated and roasted, they are an autumn seasonal snack in the United States, as well as a commercially produced and distributed packaged snack, like sunflower seeds, available year-round. Pepitas are known in the US by their Spanish name (usually shortened), and typically salted and sometimes spiced after roasting. They are also available as a packaged product in Mexico and other Latin American countries, in the American Southwest, and in specialty and Mexican food stores.

The earliest known evidence of the domestication of Cucurbita dates back 8,000–10,000 years ago, predating the domestication of other crops such as maize and common beans in the region by about 4,000 years. Changes in fruit shape and color indicate intentional breeding of C. pepo occurred by no later than 8,000 years ago. The process to develop the agricultural knowledge of crop domestication took place over 5,000–6,500 years in Mesoamerica. Squash was domesticated first, with maize second, followed by beans, all becoming part of the Three Sisters agricultural system.

As an ingredient in mole dishes, they are known in Mexican Spanish as pipián. A salsa made of pumpkin seeds and known as sikil pak is a traditional dish of the Yucatán. A Mexican snack using pepitas in an artisan fashion is referred to as pepitoría. Lightly roasted, salted, unhulled pumpkin seeds are popular in Greece with the descriptive name πασατέμπο, from passatempo.

The pressed oil of the roasted seeds of a Cucurbita pepo subsp. pepo var. 'styriaca' is also used in Central and Eastern Europe cuisine. Pumpkin seeds can also be made into a nut butter. Pumpkin seeds can also be steeped in neutral alcohol, which is then distilled to produce an eau de vie.

Dried, roasted pumpkin seeds are 2% water, 49% fat, 15% carbohydrates, and 30% protein (table). In a 100-gram reference serving, the seeds are energy-dense (2401 kJ), and a rich source (20% of the Daily Value, DV, or higher) of protein, dietary fiber, niacin, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorus (table). The seeds are a moderate source (10–19% DV) of riboflavin, folate, pantothenic acid, sodium, and potassium (table). Major fatty acids in pumpkin seeds are linoleic acid and oleic acid, with palmitic acid and stearic acid in lesser amounts (source in table).

Oil
Pumpkin seed oil, a culinary specialty in and important export commodity of Central Europe, is used in cuisine as a salad and cooking oil.

The following are ranges of fatty acid content in C. maxima pepitas:

The total unsaturated fatty acid concentration ranged from 9% to 21% of the pepita. The total fat content ranged from 11% to 52%. Based on the quantity of alpha-tocopherol extracted in the oil, the vitamin E content of twelve C. maxima cultivar seeds ranged from 4 to 19 mg/100 g of pepita.

Traditional medicine
Pumpkin seeds were once used as an anthelmintic in traditional medicine to expel tapeworms parasites, such as Taenia tapeworms. This led to the seeds being listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia as an antiparasitic from 1863 until 1936.

Market
Due to their versatility as a food product ingredient or snack, pumpkin seeds are projected to grow in sales by 13% annually and reach $631 million from 2020 to 2024.

The Velvet Voyage

Sail with winds that will never fail On voyage west towards suns farewell, Where shores unseen wait in the pale With light beyond the blackened swell,

True star guide with slivered Moon Through sea foam sky in evening sigh, Midnight burn with heavenly tune Where waiting shores of Mars do lie.

On ships of metal, men and hope Through depths unmeasured towards her coast, “A dream no more through telescope!” On waiting shores of Mars we toast.

Journey seen through these dreaming eyes, Till dreams do sail through empty skies.

Writing implement

A writing implement or writing instrument is an object used to produce writing. Writing consists of different figures, lines, and or forms. Most of these items can be also used for other functions such as painting, drawing and technical drawing, but writing instruments generally have the ordinary requirement to create a smooth, controllable line.

Another writing implement employed by a smaller population is the stylus used in conjunction with the slate for punching out the dots in Braille.

Autonomous
An autonomous writing implement is one that cannot "run out"—the only way to render it useless is to destroy it.

Without pigment
The oldest known examples were created by incising a flat surface with a rigid tool rather than applying pigment with a secondary object, e.g., Chinese jiaguwen carved into turtle shells. However, this may simply represent the relative durability of such artifacts rather than truly representing the evolution of techniques, as the meaningful application of pigment is attested in prehistoric cave paintings such as the ones at Lascaux.

The ancient Sumerians and their successor cultures, such as the Babylonians, produced their cuneiform writing by pressing a triangular stylus into soft clay tablets, creating characteristic wedge-shaped marks. The clay tablets were then baked to harden them and permanently preserve the marks.

Several other ancient cultures such as Mycenaean Greece also inscribed their records into clay tablets but did not routinely bake them; much of the Linear B corpus from Minoan Crete was accidentally preserved by a catastrophic fire which hard-baked those tablets. The Romans used lead styli with wax tablets which could be "erased" by rubbing the beeswax surface smooth again.

In the modern era, hand held computers and certain other computer input devices use a stylus to enter information onto a screen by applying pressure rather than by depositing pigment.

Words and names are still commonly inscribed into commemorative objects, such as the engraved winners' names on the silver Stanley Cup or the Gettysburg Address carved into the stone wall of the Lincoln Memorial, but the requisite tools are not exclusively considered to be writing instruments.

With inherent pigment
The original form of "lead pencil" was the leaden stylus used by the ancient Romans, who also used it to write on wood or papyrus by leaving dark streaks where the soft metal rubbed off onto the surface.

The concept has been revived in recent times as the core of the inkless pen: a lead-based metal alloy that leaves dark markings on paper by abrading small pieces of core onto the surface.

However, most modern "lead pencils" have a nonpoisonous core of greyish-black graphite mixed with various proportions of clay for consistency, enclosed within an outer wooden casing to protect the fragile graphite from being snapped apart or from leaving marks on the user's hand.

White chalk has been traditionally used in schoolrooms to write on a main blackboard at the front of the room. In the 19th century, and indeed well into the 20th century, when paper was less readily available, individual students also wrote with chalk on their own small slates.

Both pencils and chalk exist in variants which can create marks in other colors, but colored pencils and colored chalk are generally considered to be art supplies rather than writing instruments. Similarly, although very young children may use colorful wax crayons to write words into their pictures, writing is not considered to be the primary use of crayons.

A wax pencil resembles both a crayon and a pencil in that it contains a brightly colored wax core within a protective paper casing, but its proportions are closer to that of a standard pencil. Wax pencils are primarily used to write onto nonporous surfaces such as porcelain or glass.

Normal pencils, chalk, and crayons all share the characteristic that they cannot "run out". The useful life of these implements is closely linked to their physical existence. However, specialized accessories such as pencil sharpeners may be required to reshape the working end of the pigment core or to remove the outer casing from around the tip.

Assisted
These require the presence of an added pigment in order to write, and are useless when "empty".

Pens
The pen is the most common form of writing implement. It has a hard tip which applies ink to a surface.

Capillary-action dip pens
Initially, pens were made by slicing a suitable nib point from the end of a thin, hollow natural material which could retain a small reservoir of ink by capillary action. However, these ink reservoirs were relatively small, requiring the pen to be periodically dipped back into an external inkwell for replenishing.

Reed pens were used by the ancient Egyptians to write on papyrus. Quill pens were standard in Europe and the United States up through the 18th and 19th centuries, and are still used in various contexts, such as calligraphy and formal settings such as major bank transactions. The most common quills were taken from the wings of geese or ravens, although the feathers of swans and peacocks were sometimes favored for prestige.

A dip pen has a steel nib (the pen proper) and a pen-holder. Dip pens are very versatile, as the pen-holder can accommodate a wide variety of nibs that are specialized for different purposes: copperplate writing, mapping pens, and five-pointed nibs for drawing music staves. They can be used with most types of ink, some of which are incompatible with other types of pen. Automatic pens are a category of dip pen, in which the nib is in two parts and can hold a larger quantity of ink. However, like all of its precursors, the steel-nibbed dip pens had a limited ink reservoir and a tendency to drip inkblots on the page.

Fountain pens
The first modern fountain pens were developed in the 19th century, with functionally similar designs appearing as early as the 10th century. These consist of the nib unit, an ink reservoir chamber, and an external casing. The casing usually includes a cover for the nib, in order to protect its shape and keep the ink from evaporating dry or wicking into the user's pocket. Depending on the design of the pen, the ink reservoir can be filled in several different ways: direct addition by eyedropper, suction from an internal mechanism, or disposable pre-filled cartridges. Some cartridge-based fountain pens can be fitted with "converters", which are separate piston/suction reservoirs of the same dimensions as the pen's usual refill cartridge; these allow the pen to refill from bottled ink.

Only certain types of ink can be used in a fountain pen, to avoid clogging up the nib unit mechanism. Although the larger reservoir of fountain pens requires less frequent ink replenishment, the ink may inconveniently spill out in certain contexts to stain the paper, fingers, or clothing of an unwary writer. Differences in air pressure may cause the ink to leak when travelling by airplane.

Disposable pens
A large number of new pen types were popularized in the 20th century. Some of them are not constructed to be refilled with ink after they run dry; although others can theoretically have their internal ink compartment replaced, the widespread custom is to simply throw away the entire pen when its ink is no longer accessible.

These types include the ballpoint pen (often called a biro in many Commonwealth countries) and the felt tip pen. Both of these have subtypes which are popularly called by their own specific names, usually based on the type of their ink, such as the fluorescent highlighter, the rollerball pen, and the gel pen.

Mechanical pencils
Unlike the construction of a traditional wooden pencil around a solid graphite core, a mechanical pencil feeds a small, mobile piece of graphite through its tip. An internal mechanism controls the position of the graphite by friction, so that although it remains steady while writing, the graphite can be advanced forward to compensate for gradual wear or retracted to protect it when not in use. The graphite in mechanical pencils is typically much narrower than in wooden pencils, frequently in sub-millimeter diameters. This makes them particularly useful for fine diagrams or small handwriting, although different sizes of refill leads cannot be interchanged in the same pencil unless it has been specially designed for that purpose.

Brushes
Although in Western civilization writing is usually done with some form of pencil or pen, other cultures have used other instruments. Chinese characters are traditionally written with a brush, which is perceived as lending itself to a graceful, flowing stroke.

A brush differs from a pen in that instead of a rigid nib, the brush is tipped with soft bristles. The bristles are gently swept across the paper with just enough pressure to allow ink to wick onto the surface, rather than mashing down the brush to the extent of substantial friction resistance. Although pens with semi-flexible nibs and liquid ink can also vary their stroke width depending on the degree of applied pressure, their variation range is far less obvious.

Traditionally, brushes have been loaded with ink by dipping the bristles into an external pool of ink on an inkstone, analogous to a traditional dip pen with an inkwell. Some companies now make "brush pens" which in that regard resemble a fountain pen, with an internal ink reservoir built into the handle which can be refilled with preloaded cartridges or a bottle-fill converter.

Accessories

Other implements indirectly associated with writing include erasers for pen and pencil, pencil sharpeners, pencil extenders, inkwells, blotter paper, and rulers and related drawing instruments. Pounce pots were a precursor of blotting paper, being a dispenser for powdery material for drying the paper. Stencils can be used to create standardised letters, patterns or signatures. There are also pencil sharpeners that can exclusively be used with wooden pencils.

Sumner Paine

Sumner Paine (May 13, 1868 – April 18, 1904) was an American shooter. He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.

Biography
Sumner Paine was born in Boston on May 13, 1868. His father was Charles Jackson Paine, who was a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, and also was the older brother to John Paine. Sumner briefly attended Harvard University before ending up at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, he earned an M.D. but never practiced, instead he went off to Paris, France, to work.

Paine entered all three of the pistol events in the 1896 Games. He, along with his brother John Paine, was disqualified from the rapid fire pistol because their firearms were not of the appropriate caliber.

The Paine brothers used Colt revolvers in the 25 metre military pistol event, these pistols were superior to the arms used by their opponents, and the brothers had little difficulty winning the top two spots. Sumner finished second with 380 points on 23 hits (of 30 shots) to John's 442 points on 25 hits. The next closest shooter (Nikolaos Morakis from Greece) scored only 205 points.

After winning the military pistol, John withdrew from the 30 metre free pistol event, Sumner easily won this event as well, scoring exactly the same number of points (442) as John had to win the military pistol event, he did this on one fewer hit (24), though, in this case, the second place competitor scored 285 points.

In 1901, Paine went home to find his wife in bed with his daughter's music teacher. To ward him away from the house, he fired four shots at him, missing each time. He was briefly jailed and charged with assault until the police realized who he was and accepted that he must have missed on purpose. He was then released.

Paine died in Boston on April 18, 1904, at age 35, due to pneumonia.

Harley M. Kilgore

Harley Martin Kilgore (January 11, 1893 – February 28, 1956) was a United States senator from West Virginia.

Biography
He was born on January 11, 1893, in Brown, West Virginia. He was born to Quimby Hugh Kilgore and Laura Jo Kilgore. His father worked as an oil driller and contractor. He attended the public schools and graduated from the law department of West Virginia University at Morgantown in 1914 and was admitted to the bar the same year.

He taught school in Hancock, West Virginia in 1914 and 1915, and organized the first high school in Raleigh County, West Virginia in the latter year. He was the school's first principal for a year, and commenced the practice of law in Beckley, West Virginia in 1916. During the First World War he served in the infantry from 1917 and was discharged as a captain in 1920; in 1921 he organized the West Virginia National Guard and retired as a colonel in 1953. He was married to Lois Elaine Lilly in Huntington, West Virginia, in 1921.

He was judge of the Raleigh County criminal court from 1933 to 1940, and was elected as a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in 1940, and won re-election twice. He was a member of the Senate from January 3, 1941, until his death in Bethesda Naval Hospital in 1956. Kilgore was a member of the Truman Committee, and from October 1942, he chaired the Subcommittee on War Mobilization of the Military Affairs Committee, otherwise known as the Kilgore Committee, that oversaw U.S. mobilization efforts for World War II. He also helped establish the National Science Foundation in 1950.

Senator Kilgore was West Virginia's favorite-son candidate in 1948 Democratic presidential primaries and won his home state unopposed.

In 1950 Kilgore joined a small group of liberals, including Paul Douglas and Hubert Humphrey, trying to stop the McCarran Act of 1950. The bill was designed to suppress the American Communist Party. Kilgore proposed a substitute bill that would allow the president to lock up subversives without trial in a time of national emergency. The model was the Internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. The goal was to split the McCarren coalition, but the substitute was instead added to the bill. For years. critics charged that the liberals favored concentration camps. The ploy failed to stop the new law; the Senate voted 57 to 10 to overturn Truman's veto, with Kilgore voting against the bill and in support of the veto. Kilgore did not sign the 1956 Southern Manifesto despite school segregation being legally required in West Virginia prior to Brown v. Board of Education (1954).

Kilgore died on February 28, 1956, aged 63 and was interred in Arlington National Cemetery.

National Science Foundation
In 1942, American manufacturing expert Herbert Schimmel advised Kilgore to form a committee to centralize scientific research done for the war effort. The Kilgore Committee drafted legislation for an Office of Technological Mobilization, which would have power to fund research, share patents and trade secrets, and facilities that could help the war effort. Additionally, the organization would be able to draft scientists and facilities for the war effort.

In 1943, government scientists, most notably Vannevar Bush, voiced agreement with the spirit of Kilgore's proposal, but opposed the bill's aim to involve government administration of science funding and patent sharing. As the war neared its end, many prominent scientists feared a peacetime Kilgore plan. The Kilgore Committee, in an effort to mollify scientists concerned with a government-run funding agency, proposed calling the proposed organization a Foundation, to give the superficial impression of a private, philanthropic funding body like the Rockefeller Foundation. The scientists running the war-time Office of Scientific Research and Development sought to bypass the Kilgore Committee in forming a postwar science policy. While ostensibly working with Kilgore to plan for a science administration, Vannevar Bush privately obtained an invitation from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to write his own plan for a government-funded science foundation. Senator Warren Magnuson of Washington introduced a proposal based on Bush's report, Science, the Endless Frontier, in July 1945. The report contradicted much of Kilgore's vision of a science-funding organization accountable to the government. Kilgore felt betrayed by Bush's failure to mention this alternate bill, and remained on hostile terms with Bush for years afterwards.

After many months of negotiations with interest groups of scientists and manufacturers, Kilgore and Magnuson introduced a modified bill to fund the National Science Foundation in 1946, which did not pass. At the same time, Republican Senator Alexander Smith of New Jersey introduced a bill for an agency more similar to Bush's vision. The Smith bill passed both houses of United States Congress. Kilgore encouraged his former colleague, now President Harry S. Truman to veto the Smith bill, in large part because of the potential it made for the military to dominate scientific research. Truman followed Kilgore's advice and let the bill expire through a pocket veto. Kilgore also encouraged Truman to establish a Presidential Research Board to be led by John Steelman, former Director of the War Mobilization and Reconversion, which Truman then did in October 1946.

By 1948, other agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the United States Department of Defense had been established to fund specific domains of scientific research. The National Science Foundation would now solely fund basic science. In early 1948, Truman, Steelman, and Senator Smith reached a compromise in administration of the foundation. Later that year, Kilgore and Smith cosponsored the bill that President Truman would finally sign on May 10, 1950, to establish the National Science Foundation.

Investigations by the Sub-committee on Antitrust and Monopolies
While serving as Chairman of United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Kilgore spearheaded an investigation into corporate antitrust and monopoly.

The Kilgore Subcommittee investigations were based on the 1954 Subcommittee's recommendation for a full investigation of monopolies and concentrations of economic power.

Following its recommendations based on 1954 hearings, the Antitrust and Monopoly Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee undertook in 1955 a full-scale inquiry into antitrust policies and monopolies. Harley M. Kilgore (D W. Va.) headed the Subcommittee for which the Senate March 18 voted $200,000 for investigations."

In its 1954 report the Subcommittee warned that the United States was in the “third great merger movement” in U. S. history and that previous movements had been followed by “devastating business collapse".

After Kilgore's death, the investigations were put on hold until Estes Kefauver was appointed to the Chairmanship of the sub-committee in 1957. The investigations continued until Kefauver's death in 1963.

Keith Ryan

Keith Ryan (born 25 June 1970) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League as a midfielder for Wycombe Wanderers. In July 2009 he was appointed reserve team manager at Queens Park Rangers.

Career
Born in Northampton, Ryan started his career at Berkhamsted Town. He was one of Martin O'Neill's first singings for Wycombe Wanderers in August 1990. "Rhino", as he is nicknamed, played in over 500 games for the club and scored more than 50 goals. He would go on to be a mainstay of the Wycombe midfield of the 1990s, playing in all three of their Wembley visits, during the decade.

Ryan was awarded a testimonial on 1 August 2000 where Leicester City were the visitors. Leicester would go on to win the game 3–0, later in the season Ryan would be part of the squad that would go on to shock the Foxes 2–1 in the quarter final of the 2001 FA Cup. Before going on to score Wycombe's goal in the semi-final against Liverpool.

Following the departure of manager Tony Adams in November 2004, Ryan was appointed caretaker manager until the appointment of permanent successor John Gorman. Gorman rewarded Ryan's service to the club by making him an assistant manager, along with fellow Blues legend Steve Brown. Ryan retired from professional football in April 2006. He was retained as a coach when Paul Lambert took over as manager in June 2006, but left the club a year later when the coaching staff structure was reorganised for financial reasons.

He was promptly appointed by John Gregory, his former manager at Wycombe, as a youth team coach at Queens Park Rangers, and promoted to reserve team manager in July 2009.

As of December 2021, he is first-team coach at Flackwell Heath F.C.

Ok, let's cite Napoleon Bonaparte ("Description of the War's of Frederick II", dictated to General Montholon): "The Battle of Leuthen was a master piece. This Battle alone would be sufficient do make Frederick immortal among the greatest field commanders in history".

I feel slightly uncomfortable with the incorporation of the concept of Bewegungskrieg being equated with Blitzkrieg which, as Citino would argue anyway, are quite distinct concepts.

Brunton Park

Brunton Park is a football stadium and the home of Carlisle United. It is situated in the city of Carlisle and has a certified capacity of 17,949. The ground opened in 1909. Brunton Park's grandstand burned down in 1953 and the stadium flooded completely in 2005 and again in 2015.

Brunton Park is split into four separate stands: Warwick Road End, East Stand, Main (West) Stand and the Petteril End, which remains closed unless exceptionally large crowds are in attendance.

Brunton Park is the largest football stadium in England to still including traditional terracing. In 2011, Carlisle United announced plans to move away from Brunton Park to a 12,000 capacity all-seater stadium, although in 2016 the club declared that the move to a new stadium had been shelved.

At one time the ground capacity was set at 27,500 but this was first reduced in the 1980s and then before the 2012–13 season Cumbria County Council inspected Brunton Park and deemed that certain areas of the stadium were unsafe, resulting in the capacity of the ground being reduced further to 17,001 for the forthcoming season (increased slightly since).

The largest attendance at the ground in recent years saw 15,401 attend the 2023 League Two playoff semi-final, almost half of which were seated. This was the largest attendance at the ground since 18,556 watched an FA Cup tie against Liverpool in 1989.

History
In 1904, Shaddongate United became Carlisle United F.C., an association football club who played at the Millholme Bank ground to the west of Carlisle. The ground was often too small for their purposes and they sometimes used the Rugby Ground which would later be the adjacent neighbour of Brunton Park. In 1905, United joined the Lancashire Combination league, which required larger facilities, so they moved to Devonshire Park, a football ground which was located where Trinity School now stands. In 1909, they were evicted from the premises by the Duke of Devonshire and moved eastwards to establish Brunton Park, the club's home ever since.

Grandstand fire
In 1953, the original wooden grandstand, which was where the Main Stand is now situated, was burned to the ground in a fire caused by an electrical fault. The sale of local player Geoff Twentyman to Liverpool for £12,500 enabled the club to rebuild what is the West Stand today.

Flooding
On the evening of Friday, 7 January 2005, the rivers Eden, Caldew and Petteril burst their banks in Carlisle due to as much as 180mm of rainfall upstream that day. The worst affected area was Warwick Road, where Brunton Park is situated.

For the following six weeks Carlisle United were forced to play their home games at Christie Park in Morecambe while repair work took place. United were still able, however, to reach the playoffs in the Conference that season and win promotion back into the Football League.

 * 2015

The stadium was severely flooded following Storm Desmond. It caused the team to play fixtures at Preston's Deepdale Ground, Blackburn's Ewood Park and Blackpool's Bloomfield Road.

In November 2009 and November 2015, half the pitch and the match-day car park were flooded but the stadium was not damaged. The match-day car park is flooded a least once every year.

Paddock / Main (West) Stand

The West Stand is a mixed terraced and seated area with a capacity of 7,130 (including 2,095 seats and 80 hospitality). It is regarded as the main stand at Brunton Park and on average receives the highest attendance of home fans. The stand accommodates the club's offices and changing rooms as well as media facilities for radio and television coverage.

The lower tier is mainly a paddock terrace which runs the length of the pitch. The home and away dugouts are situated in front of this stand with the tunnel dividing it through the centre. To the north is an area for disabled supporters

The upper tier is known as the family stand with a small section to the south known as the 'A' Stand, which houses school children. The full extent of the upper tier is seated and is the location of the stadium's most recent improvements, with upgraded seating bought from Darlington in 2006 during the club's move.

At the north end of the stand is also a viewing gallery positioned between the two tiers of the stand. The gallery is in front of Foxy's restaurant, which offers hospitality packages to supporters.

Warwick Road End

The most distinctive of the four stands at Brunton Park, a unique covered terrace with a triple triangle roof, it is situated at the southern end of the stadium. Currently sponsored by Armstrong Watson Chartered Accountants, it is affectionately known as "the Warwick" to most Carlisle fans. The stand has a capacity of 3,300 and usually houses the most vocal supporters on match day. It has recently been adopted by a group of younger fans who gave up their February 2023 half-term to help repaint the stand.

East "Pioneer Foods" Stand
Currently named the "Pioneer Foods Stand", it is a 5,770-seater single-tiered cantilever stand. Although it was constructed in 1996 (replacing a covered terrace known as the Scatching Shed), the club still have not completed the interior, so the spaces at the top of the stand for executive boxes are still empty. One peculiar thing fans may have noticed when visiting the ground is that the stand actually runs 20 yd past the goal line at the northern end of the pitch. That is because the club erected the stand with a view to moving the pitch further northwards so a new stand at the southern end of the ground could also be built. Those plans never materialised, and so the asymmetrical position of the stand remains to this today.

The north section of the East Stand most commonly houses the away fans, separated from the home fans by netting (removing 300 seats from use) and a gate in the concourse. When large groups of away fans are expected, away fans are sometimes additionally allocated the Petteril End.

In November 2010, local business and long-time supporters of the club the Stobart Group celebrated their 40th anniversary and bought 4,000 tickets on the East Stand for the League One fixture: Carlisle versus Rochdale. The company then gave away the tickets to the local public. On that occasion, the away fans were moved solely to the Petteril End.

Waterworks End

The Petteril is the only other uncovered stand in the ground alongside the lower tier paddock. The stand holds 1,750 mostly terraced but including a small seated area to the east. This stand usually remains closed unless exceptionally large crowds are expected.

To the west of the stand is a small control tower which is used to facilitate crowd supervision on match days. Also located here is the only scoreboard in the stadium and an advertising screen which sometimes displays goal replays.

Premier League pitch

The pitch at Brunton Park currently measures 104 by. Originally a soil-based pitch was housed which was built over a landfill site; over the years this caused numerous settlement problems such as dips and crowns. When Bill Shankly joined the club in 1949 he called the ground "a glorified hen coop, everything was in terrible condition except for the pitch and that was always a good one". The pitch was, and still is, laid with local Solway turf, which was favoured by Wimbledon, and Wembley Stadium before its renovation.

During the flooding of January 2005, heavy deposits of silt were left on the playing field and a decision was made by the owners to build a new pitch and install a new primary drainage system.

Other areas

The stadium has on-site parking to the east and north of the ground as well as a smaller parking area to the west. To the north of the ground is a separate pitch which is used for training purposes and reserve games.

A club shop is situated south of the ground on Warwick Road. It was renovated before reopening after the flooding in 2005, turning over £20,000 on its first day back in business. In front of the shop stands a life-size bronze statue of former player Hugh McIlmoyle.

Other uses

In 1982, Brunton Park hosted a rugby league match between Cumbria and Australia during the Australians' 1982 Kangaroo tour. On their way to their first ever undefeated tour of Great Britain and France, the Kangaroos, who would become known as "The Invincibles", defeated Cumbria 41-2 in front of just 5,748 fans.

In 2007, Brunton Park was transformed into a 20,000-capacity concert venue to host Elton John.

In 2010, Brunton Park was used during the production of the BBC television programme United, a docudrama centring on Manchester United at the time of the Munich air disaster. The ground was chosen due to the likeness of parts of the stadium to Old Trafford of the 1950s.

Records
Record attendance: 27,603 (Carlisle United–Middlesbrough, 7 February 1970, FA Cup 5th Round.

Record gate receipts: £146,000 (Carlisle United–Tottenham Hotspur, 30 September 1997, Coca-Cola Cup 2nd Round.

Brunton Park was the first ground to host an FA Cup match between league clubs played under lights. Carlisle United played Darlington in a first round replay, losing 1–3.

Planned developments
By the time the East Stand was opened in August 1996, plans were afoot to redevelop Brunton Park into a 28,000 capacity all-seater stadium. However, the club's lack of progress on the pitch over the next decade, along with the subsequent departure of ambitious owner Michael Knighton, meant that the stadium remained unchanged from that date.

On 18 November 2011, with Carlisle United established in League One (third tier) for the sixth season, the club announced plans to leave Brunton Park for a new 12,000-seat stadium at Kingmoor, in the north of the city. Brunton Park met the criteria set by the Football League for matches in the bottom two tiers of the competition, but was not suitable for games in the higher levels. The plans were promoted under the slogan "Project Blue Yonder". However, in 2016, the club announced that the move to a new stadium had been shelved, and that an agreement with a developer to facilitate the project had expired.

Talk:Korean War casualties

Actually your casualty numbers of the China army is quite from the number published by China government, which is 130,000 death and has the individual name of dead soldier in the report. Also the South Korea lost much more forces than your given numbers, at least double. Just imagine its totally destroied army at the first stage of the Korea war. The reason was not that the President of the ROK was not prepared, not his poor solid and practical preparation and DPRK, on the contrary was well prepared.

This page does not add much info, and should be part of the Korean War page imo. Mjolnir1984 11:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
