Adolf Hitler
This article is a carefully balanced, detailed and objective treatment of a controversial and oddly polarizing topic which continues to be the source of both misleading caricature and seemingly endless popular fascination (and as such, one of the most vandalized entries in Wikipedia). Support. Wyss 02:54, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Support I was planning to nominate this until Wyss did the job. I fully support the nomination since I learnt a quite a few things and the article is pretty well balanced and concise. Though there might be issues of vandalism especially after putting it in the main page I think this article should be made featured article after locking it maybe? And please vote for the article NOT the person. Thanx.--Idleguy 03:03, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Object
 * The image Image:Adolf Hitler Bigger.jpg appears to be a German government image captured by the US Army. What's the proper copyright on it?
 * The image Image:AHWatercolor1.jpg is tagged as PD-Art. If that's the correct tag, and it's correct about being copyrighted for life + 100, then since the artist died in 1945, it won't be in the public domain for another 39 years.
 * The images Image:Adolf Hitler im Ersten Weltkrieg.jpg, Image:Adolf Hitler und Benito Mussolini in München 1940.jpg, Image:Adolf Hitler im Reichstag Marz 1938.jpg are tagged as PD-USGov, which is clearly incorrect. These images were almost certainly captured by the US Army towards the end of World War II.  What's the proper copyright tag for them?
 * The images Image:Adolf-Hitler-7.jpg, Image:Inge Terboven and Hitler.jpg, Image:Hitler-girl.jpg, Image:Hitler-car.jpg are tagged as PD, with a reference to Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags/archive1, Image:Hitler bunker.jpg, but following that discussion indicates that the conclusion was that all copyrighted photographs of German origin are under a term of "life + 70", so works published after 1935 are still copyrighted.
 * The image Image:Hitler walking out of Brown House after 1930 elections.jpg is of unknown copyright status.
 * The image Image:Himmler Hitler.jpg is claimed as fair use. Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia, it is a free content encyclopedia, and as such, fair use images should be avoided if at all possible.  If a fair use image must be used, a rationale as to why it is fair use must be provided.
 * The image Image:Adolf Hitler in Paris.jpg is tagged as PD-US, implying that it was published before 1923. However, the image was clearly taken after 1939.
 * --Carnildo 04:17, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Images created in Nazi Germany and copyrighted under the Nazi government are of indeterminate status. It is an incredibly complicated situation seeing that the countries own laws were fuzzy and the inheritance by both the Soviet Union and the US (and the insuing independent states) makes the situation worse. The copyright of Mein Kampf, created before the rise of the Nazi government, is now held by the Bavarian state government. Nazi Government copyrights are perceived by many to be null-and-void, in any case they are never enforced. I have spent numerous hours trying to find out in the past - it is just as flawed to declare them copyrighted as public domain. --OldakQuill 18:29, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Note, Hitler willed most of his personal property (including the copyright to MK) to the German government shortly before he killed himself, so the Mein Kampf comparison to photo copyright issues is likely not relevant. Wyss 02:49, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Most of the photos were taken from the National Archives, so I am not sure what copyright status they fell under. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:19, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * If the photographer died over 70 years ago (1934 or earlier), then the image is considered public domain in Germany; all others are copyrighted. For images with the copyright held by the Nazi government, the copyright was passed to the Federal Republic, which transfered all previous Nazi-era copyright to Transit-Film Gesellschaft in 1963. (Trasit is a company fully owned by the current German government.) Transit still vigorously claims copyright on many WWII-era images created by the Third Reich, and the U.S respects copyrights that the German government claims are valid, so long as the photos were taken after 1922. The UK declared that Nazi-copyrighted material was public domain under the Enemy Property Act of 1953, but the United States never claimed this. Since Wikipedia servers are based in the U.S, we have to follow U.S. law. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 04:55, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Can we ask Congress to sign on to it? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 06:25, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, since even Britain repealed the act in the 70's, it seems unlikely to work. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 00:29, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Interesting, but just the sight of him still makes too many people's blood boil, and this could be a bad influence. Codex Sinaiticus 04:51, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * That's not actionable. From above, "Each objection must provide a specific rationale that can be addressed".  Please point out specific things in the article that can be fixed/improved. --Spangineer  (háblame)  05:04, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * I would tend to agree with Spangineer on this one. Your objection is not actionable — it does not give the editor any pointers on how the article could be improved.  Being featured does not necessarily mean it will appear on the front page, it means that we feel the article is of exemplary quality. slambo 15:00, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * This vote is not only actionable, it is despisable POV! Featured articles are not determined as such on whether the subject matter makes people "cheery" or otherwise. This is currently an invalid opposition. --Oldak Quill 18:35, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't feel bad, Codex. A lot of people think that. But the rules are that only actionable objections can be made. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 04:55, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose This article looks great, but the lead seems very weak to me, especially the last paragraph. Maybe it could be expanded a bit to more greatly emphasize Hitler's influence on 20th century history? It seems a bit.. bland. Other than that, I have no objection at all. --malathion talk 19:32, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * As I said, controversial :) In my personal experience, AH is a lose/lose topic in terms of consensus. If for some reason no consensus to feature it emerges, I still think the article is a real credit to Wikipedia. I find the copyright objections to the photos interesting, but more related to AH's contorted (and still volatile) legacy in Germany than to any serious copyright issues. Wyss 00:20, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Support I fixed my own objection. --malathion talk 02:31, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Support, informative and comprehensive. Phoenix2 03:05, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Object, like the lead the legacy section lets down the rest of the article, it's a collection of unrealted underdeveloped points. They should both be improved.--nixie 04:06, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Support, and hope this article can survive the vandalism to keep its current qualilty. I'd probably advise that if the FAC is successful, someone (ie. Wyss) make a note of the version when the FA passes so that it can be reverted to it vandalism and POV gets bad. Harro5 04:46, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Support, informative article. This'll be a milestone if it gets passed. --Oldak Quill 22:34, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose Just from looking at the introduction, there are already major mistakes in this article. The first sentence is wrong "Adolf Hitler was the Führer und Reichskanzler (Leader and chancellor) of Germany from 1933 to his death". He was only Chancellor in 1933, and wasn't Führer until 1934. Also, it says "The racial policies that Hitler directed"-this is wrong, Hitler did not personally direct racial policy, he endorsed the racial policy proposals of his subordinates. Although much of the inspiration for racial policy came from Hitler's personality/books/speeches, he did not actually direct racial policy. I recommend this article be sent to peer review, and the authors of this article read Ian Kershaw's "The Nazi Dictatorship", which deals with Hitler's power and the extent to which he directed policy. There are also generalisations, for example in the Repression section "Thousands disappeared into concentration camps. Many thousands more emigrated, including about half of Germany's Jews." With the extensive references this article has I wouldn't expect such vagueness-no attempt to use specific figures, no distinction between how political enemies, social enemies (what the Nazis called "asocials") and Jews were treated, no distinction between "concentration camps" and extermination camps. It same paragraph also says "the SA, SS and Gestapo (secret state police) were given a 'free hand' "-hardly encyclopaedic language.Deus Ex 17:39, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Most of these objections revolve around interpretations that are still way controversial. AH did personally direct racial policy in Germany, although semantics and language differences can influence descriptions of how the underlying administration and bureaucracy implemented his leadership. I'm comfortable with both interpretations (I see them as mostly semantic). Although I didn't write it, and agree that the term free hand is a bit fast and loose, it's apt enough if the context is understood. In the past I've personally removed the Fuhrer title from the opening paragraph but it keeps re-appearing. Wyss 23:50, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, " AH did personally direct racial policy in Germany" goes against everything that Ian Kershaw says about Hitler in his books, and I don't really understand then why Kershaw's biography is listed as a reference if his arguments are ignored. This article fails as NPOV as it shows one side the of the argument-what is known in Nazi Germany historiography as the "strong dictator" argument. The "weak dictator" school and Ian Kershaw's view, what he calls a "synthesis" of the two should be considered too. From what I've read in "The Nazi Dictatorship" (written by Kershaw), Hitler did not personally direct racial policy. In fact there is no record of any racial policy initiated by Hitler-they were all initiated and drawn up by his subordinates and confirmed by him, but they were very much inspired by Hitler's anti-Semitism. And Kershaw is considered today one of the world's leading historians of Nazi Germany.

 * The Repression paragraph is inadequate and needs revision. Apart from what I've already said, "They were also subject to a barrage of hate propaganda" is questionable, it would be more accurate to say "the German public were subject to a campaign of anti-Semitic propaganda". The treatment of anti-Semitism is too vague-it should mention that the Kristallnacht was a turning point, in that it was the first major act of state approved violence against Jews (previously state persecution had been through the law). Some other things the article doesn't mention are his personal life, e.g. his relationship with Eva Braun, the fact he had a very short "working week" (he only worked a few hours a day-I can find the specific figures)-so he was often unreachable by officials. The legacy section is poorly organised, and there is no section on historiography-i.e. the "master/weak dictator" argument, which you must have come across from the references, especially Kershaw. Deus Ex 00:25, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I notice you've begun making edits to the article... I was going to suggest that. I've already replied to the endorsed/directed question. As to his working hours, they seem to have been not overly long, but varied somewhat. He rose late, sometimes in the mid afternoon, and didn't sleep until the crack of dawn. The article is already very long, which is why topics such as Braun and his suicide are discussed in separate articles. Wyss 01:19, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, sorry but I don't find your reply to the endorsed/directed question adequate. "Hitler directed racial policies" is not a fact, it is an interpretation, but in this article it is presented as a fact. It would better to say "racial policies in Nazi Germany", which does not make reference to Hitler specifically, because the extent to which Hitler actually directed racial policy is disputed by historians, and many modern historians would accept Kershaw's position that he was "a dictator without having to dicate".Deus Ex 09:37, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

 * They burned a lot of papers in April 1945. Recently declassified Sov docs indicate that while in custody after the war, Gunsche and Linge said AH "pored over" blueprints for the first gas chambers (that's in the article now). I agree with Kershaw nonetheless, that AH (at first) was so skillful in both selecting his key aides and assoiates, along with motivating them, that specific orders were often unnecessary. However he was capable of active management, especially regarding things that keenly interested him, was even criticized for it from time to time and serious historians do disagree on the directed/endorsed issue. Since he was fuhrer, with absolute power which he could target rather much as he pleased, I think directed/endorsed is an interesting discussion but hardly a distinction capable of deflecting historic responsibility. I'm ok with the term "enabled" btw but other editors have consistently changed that to "directed". The preponderance of evidence does continue to tilt towards his having given direct, detailed orders on this one. It should also be noted that the last line in his political will, dictated to Traudl Junge hours before he killed himslef, exhorted the world, in effect, to keep exterminating jews. Wyss 18:12, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the response. I think "enabled" is more appropriate given the debate amongst historians. I just read through part of the article and compared to the Britannica entry, and I've got a few questions. 1. What source is the info about Hitler's indoctrination in his early life? There is no mention of it in the Brittannica entry, and if it is speculative or not completely substantiated, then I think it should be cut back to just the reliable facts. The Brittanica entry just says "Hitler already showed traits that characterized his later life: loneliness and secretiveness, a bohemian mode of everyday existence, and hatred of cosmopolitanismand of the multinational character of Vienna." 2. "he immediately enlisted in the Bavarian army"-was there actually a "Bavarian army", Brittanica says "volunteered for the German army" 3. "Hitler's street-corner oratory, attacking Jews, socialists and liberals, capitalists and Communists"-not a very good sentence. The article needs to explain (briefly) why these groups might be distrusted. It also needs to make explicit Hitler's opposition to the (unpopular) Weimar 4. Need to mention 1930 alliance with the Nationalist leader Alfred Hugenberg and importance (Hitler got coverage in Hugenberg's newspaper, able to reach a national audience). According to Brittannica, this alliance also helped Hitler to gain finance from industrialists and business magnates. 5. "Given this, claims that the German economy achieved near full employment are at least partly artifacts of propaganda from the era." I'm not sure about this. Between 1933-39, unemployment dropped from about 5.6m (depends on whether official figures/estimates) to about 50,000 in 1939-so low foreign workers had to be used. I'm not sure about the War years, but in 1939, unemployment was certainly extremely low.Deus Ex 23:57, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose I'm now opposing this because Wyss, the originator of the nomination, is citing constructive improvements of the article as Vandalism.

 * The above vote is unsigned. Its cited reason is a complaint about my behavior, not the article content, so I don't think it should count. Wyss 23:50, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Object Lacks information on the life period from 1924-1930. Themanwithoutapast 02:26, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Miracle Mile, Los Angeles

"often" confused?
It seems a bit weird to say that Miracle Mile is "often confused with the Magnificent Mile in Chicago". The phrasing calls to mind some tourist confused about whether he is in Los Angeles or Chicago. --Mathew5000 17:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

western boundary at Fairfax?
If one accepts that Fairfax is the western boundary of the Miracle Mile (as stated in the article), the photo captioned "The Miracle Mile is lined by many high-rise buildings" isn't of the Miracle Mile at all. Steve Bob (talk) 02:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

It's hard to define the western boundary. But I believe Fairfax is technically the boundary of "The Mile". However, I live just west of Fairfax, but still consider myself in the Miracle Mile District. ASoh (talk) 23:45, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

It sounded cooler in 1980
Is this the Miracle Mile to which Billy Joel refers in the song "It's Still Rock & Roll To Me"? Asat (talk) 07:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Good question. During travels across the US of A I have heard the term "Miracle Mile" often used in local TV and radio advertising, often for areas where there are several car/truck dealerships located on one major thoroughfare.

I doubt if there is any need for the total distance among those dealerships to be even close to a mile in total distance from the first to the last firm.

I would tend to believe the term "Miracle Mile" is more of a buzz word to remind consumers that such an area exists. The Mighty Obbop mumbled this while in his shanty70.243.109.194 (talk) 07:05, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

 * No offense, but your opinion - just like mine - is not relevant to the historical question. It is true that by the mid 1950's to 60's there were a large number of "Miracle Miles". I clearly recall a MM (open) mall opening around 1960 in Pontiac, MI (my hometown). It's now long gone. The Miracle Mile in Manhasset, NY claims to be "the" one Billy Joel is referring to. This claim is repeated in the stub on the village of Manhasset. Given that BJ is and was a New Yorker, this may be true. The L.A. Miracle Mile long predates the NY one. I don't know whether the term has earlier origins, and THIS article certainly avoids stating a date, but another on-line source claims that the term was first applied to this project in 1928 (https://www.kcet.org/shows/lost-la/how-the-miracle-mile-got-its-name-a-brief-history-of-las-unlikely-retail-district). I believe that one (in NY) was named about 1955. fwiw40.142.185.108 (talk) 18:29, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Jan T. Gross

Jan Tomasz Gross (born 1947) is a Polish-American sociologist and historian. He is the Norman B. Tomlinson '16 and '48 Professor of War and Society, emeritus, and Professor of History, emeritus, at Princeton University.

Gross is the author of several books on Polish history, particularly Polish-Jewish relations during World War II and the Holocaust, including Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland (2001); Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz (2006); and (with Irena Grudzinska Gross) Golden Harvest (2012).

Early life and education
Gross was born in Warsaw to Hanna Szumańska, a member of the Polish resistance (Armia Krajowa) in World War II, and Zygmunt Gross, who was a Polish Socialist Party member before the war broke out. His mother was a Christian and his father Jewish. His mother lost her first husband, who was Jewish, after he was denounced by a neighbor. She rescued several Jews during the Holocaust, including her future husband whom she married after the war.

Gross attended local schools and studied physics at the University of Warsaw. He became one of the young dissidents known as Komandosi, and was among the university students who participated in the "March events", the Polish student and intellectual protests of 1968. Like many Polish students, he was expelled from the university, and was arrested and jailed for five months.

During the antisemitic campaign by the Polish communist government, Gross emigrated from Poland to the United States in 1969. In 1975 he earned a PhD in sociology from Yale University for a thesis on the Polish underground state, which was published as  (1979).

Teaching
Gross has taught at Yale, New York University, and in Paris. He became a naturalized US citizen. He has specialized in studies of Polish history and Polish-Jewish relations in Poland. He is the Norman B. Tomlinson '16 and '48 Professor of War and Society in the History Department at Princeton University. Gross has held this seat since 2003. He is also Professor of History at Princeton, both positions emeritus.

Research
Based on documentation on Polish citizens deported to Siberia, Gross and his wife Irena Grudzińska-Gross published . In the 80s Gross wrote Revolution From Abroad: Soviet Conquest of Poland’s Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia based primarily on Hoover Archive material.

His 2001 book about the Jedwabne massacre, Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland, addressed the role of local Poles in the massacre and resulted in controversy. He wrote that the atrocity was committed by Poles and not by the German occupiers, thus revising a major part of Polish self-understanding about their history during the war. Gross's book was the subject of vigorous debate in Poland and abroad. The political scientist Norman Finkelstein accused Gross of exploiting the Holocaust. Norman Davies described Neighbors as "deeply unfair to Poles".

A subsequent investigation conducted by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) supported some of Gross's conclusions, but not his estimate of the number of people murdered. In addition, the IPN concluded there was more involvement by Nazi German security forces in the massacre. Polish journalist Anna Bikont began an investigation at the same time, ultimately publishing a book, My z Jedwabnego (2004), later published in French and English as The Crime and the Silence: Confronting the Massacre of Jews in Wartime Poland (French, 2011; and English, 2015).

Gross's book, Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz, which deals with anti-semitism and anti-Jewish violence in post-war Poland, was published in the United States in 2006, where it was praised by reviewers. When published in Polish in Poland in 2008, it received mixed reviews and revived a nationwide debate about anti-Semitism in Poland during and after World War II. " Marek Edelman, one of the leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, said in an interview with the daily newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, "Postwar violence against Jews in Poland was mostly not about anti-Semitism; murdering Jews was pure banditry."

Gross's latest book, Golden Harvest (2011), co-written with his wife, Irena Grudzińska-Gross, is about Poles enriching themselves at the expense of Jews murdered in the Holocaust. Critics in Poland have alleged that Gross dwelt too much on wartime pathologies, drawing "unfair generalizations". The Chief Rabbi of Poland, Michael Schudrich, commented: "Gross writes in a way to provoke, not to educate, and Poles don't react well to it. Because of the style, too many people reject what he has to say."

Honors
On 6 September 1996, Gross and his wife Irena Grudzińska-Gross were awarded the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland by President Aleksander Kwaśniewski, for "outstanding achievement in scholarship".

As Professor at the Department of Politics, New York University, Gross was a beneficiary of the Fulbright Program, for research on "Social and Political History of the Polish Jewry 1944-49" at the Jewish Historical Institute, Warsaw, Poland (January 2001- April 2001).

In 1982 Jan T. Gross was awarded a fellowship in the field of sociology by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial. Also in 1982, as an assistant professor of sociology at Yale University, he was among thirty-three Rockefeller Humanities Fellowship competition entrants awarded, his project entitled "Soviet Rule in Poland, 1939-1941."

Controversies
In an essay published in 2015 in the German newspaper Die Welt, Gross wrote that during World War II, "Poles killed more Jews than Germans". In 2016, Gross said that "Poles killed a maximum 30,000 Germans and between 100,000 and 200,000 Jews." According to historian Jacek Leociak, "the claim that Poles killed more Jews than Germans could be really right – and this is shocking news for the traditional thinking about Polish heroism during the war." Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Marcin Wojciechowski dismissed Gross's statement as "historically untrue, harmful and insulting to Poland."

On 15 October 2015, Polish prosecutors opened a libel inquiry against Gross; they acted under a paragraph of the criminal code that "provides that any person who publicly insults the Polish nation is punishable by up to three years in prison". Polish prosecutors had previously examined Gross's books Fear (2008) and Golden Harvest (2011), but closed those cases after finding no evidence of a crime. In 2016, the Simon Wiesenthal Center said the decision to continue the investigation bore "all the hallmarks of a political witch-hunt," and a "form of alienating minorities and people who were victimized". The investigation was closed in November 2019. Prosecutors stated that "there is no conclusive data on the numbers of Germans and Jews killed as a result of actions committed by Poles during the Second World War. The establishment of such numbers is still the subject of research by historians and the subject of dispute between them." One of the experts consulted was Piotr Gontarczyk, who said there is no conclusive evidence that Poles killed more Jews than Germans during the war, but such a view is impossible to show as untrue. According to Gontarczyk, such statements, while controversial, are within the limits of academic discourse.

On 14 January 2016, because of what he described as "an attempt to destroy Poland's good name", Polish President Andrzej Duda requested a re-evaluation of the award to Gross of the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland. The request was met with local and international protests. Gross responded that "PiS [the Law and Justice party] is obsessed with stimulating a patriotic sense of duty. And given that most Poles do not know their own history very well, and think that Poles suffered as much as Jews during the war, the new regime is playing into a language of Catholic martyrology." Timothy Snyder, an American historian noted for his work on European genocides, said that if the order were taken from Gross, he would renounce his own.

Phoenix and Asgard Core
I'm wondering, did the phoenix have an asgard core like the odyssey? on the last man i saw a room that looked alot like the core room in the odyssey (except the asgard terminal was moved to the bridge). what do you think. Ss9999 (talk) 01:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Something has to be controlling the asgard tech, so I guess there is some kind of asgard core. Maybe not as complicated as the one the Asgard made themselves as the only bit of Asgard tech we've seen them use is the weapons, but something must be controlling those weapons. --Tango (talk) 16:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know. I wondered that too, especially because the Daedalus and the Apollo had the same style engineering room as before.

Vala M (talk) 17:56, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Well we know all ships had Asgard tech on them before the computer core was added. I'm guessing it's not required.  I feel the computer core was given to them as a way to better understand the Asgard knowledge they were given and a way to interface with that knowledge.  I'm guessing it's not required.  To be honest it make no sense for them to build a new computer core on any other ship...in fact I'd build one on earth and keep it under lock and key. Terryrayc (talk) 17:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Unlisted Technology:
I noticed a few bits of tech that aren't mentioned in the article, chief among them are artificial gravity and inertial dampening. Earth got them from the Gou'ld, who likely got them from the ancients, though it is shown in the series that even 'independently developed' cultures (such as the Asgard) have the technology as well. Based on the story though, earth likely reverse-engineered the tech from the Gou'ld, when they developed the F-302's.

 Ghos t wo  17:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The reason they aren't mentioned is because, as far as I know, they aren't explicitly mentioned in the series. If you try and make a connection between these bits of tech and any other culture without strict sources, it is considered original research and thus is not permitted. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 00:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * it's a tough call. While both of those are talked about in the show, inertial dampening for one is talked about several times in Atlantis, they never talk about where they come from.  Now we know they had the tech before the Asgard upgraded them so we can be sure they got it from the Gou'ld.  That being said, while you can list them as included tech on the ships you cannot say for sure where they got it. Terryrayc (talk) 14:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * It shouldn't be added since it was never explicitly talked about in the show. That is why I never mentioned or tried to add it in the past.
 * Vala M (talk) 20:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Earths first modern ship was the X-301, basically a retro-fitted deathglider (possesing both inertial dampeners and some form of artificial gravity). It's successor, the F-302 is a similar craft built from scratch, including the inertial dampeners. The captured deathgliders have to be the original source for Earth's inertial dampener technology. There's little point arguing about who the original inventor was, when the source of the tech from earths point of view is well documented as being the gou'ld.

8 fighters?
I may be wrong but i specificalily remember that an x-303 has 8 fighters but the x-304s have 16. I am just confused by a portion of the article that states all ships carry 8 fighters. I just want to make sure I'm not wrong before doing anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KIHP (talk • contribs) 20:38, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Where was it stated that they all carry 16 fighters? So far, the episodes don't agree with that statement, so far as I can tell.  If you can provide a source, though, that'd be great and we'll figure out the best place to include it. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 02:14, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't saying 304's always have 16 just that there capicity is 16 and probaly more in case they have to take on jumpers or another ships fighters in case of emergency. I only have the box set for season 1 of atlantis so I have no actual concrete episode but I have watched every atlantis almost every post season 6 sg-1, so I specificalily remember that at least for the daedalus 16 has been stated so 16 is most likely the standard 304 capacity. I also remember that 8 was stated for the prometheus so that is most likely the 303 capacity. The reason I posted this disscussion is to make sure its proper knowledge and someone remembers actual episodes to site. I could have just changed the article but i want to make sure its completely concrete since alot of people might use the page for information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KIHP (talk • contribs) 15:16, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Okay, misunderstanding :) The article already mentions that the 304s can carry 16, but have yet only been seen to carry eight. As mentioned above, if any evidence can be found that the 304s normally carry 16 and not the eight we've come to see, then we can revise, but I'd suggest that right now, we leave the wording as-is. I'm not comfortable with the lack of citations regarding these numbers as it is... — Huntster (t • @ • c) 00:36, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * it is mentioned in the serries that the Oddessy and the Daedalus carry 16 F-302s, so the artcile should be changed :-)

Image idea
Whilst I do not have the skills to, would it be possible for someone to recreate the uniform patches for the page, for example the Apollo uniform badge seen here if someone with the skills could recreate this on the computer images of the ships logo could be used in the article...if that makes sense, i feel it would look pretty good and help define each ship.(86.163.52.43 (talk) 12:58, 18 June 2008 (UTC))

 * Why not just use the screenshots? It's still copyrighted, whether you take it directly or recreate it yourself. --Tango (talk) 14:30, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

 * It was just an idea.(86.163.52.43 (talk) 09:32, 22 June 2008 (UTC))

Daedalus Top Speed
I added the following

The Daedalus class ships employ an Asgard intergalactic hyperdrive which based on the fact that the distance between the Milky Way and the Pegasus Galaxy is 3 million light years gives the Daedalus a top speed greater then 5952 light years per hour. With a ZPM onbard that speed increases to over 31250 light years per hour.

I based this off the ep regarding the gate bridge where it was stated that the distance between the two galaxys was 3 million light years. Seeing how it takes the Daedalus 3 weeks (21 days) to reach there we know they have to be traveling atlease 5952lph to cover just the distance between, we could probably guess that they are going a lot faster, probably something in the 6500lph range but we cannot report it with fact, only that they haev to be traveling greater then 5952. I base the zpm speed of the same information but using the stated 4 days travel time which makes the top speed greater then 31250lph Terryrayc (talk) 20:06, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I've removed this for now; you can state that the Daedalus can make a 3 million light-year trip in 3 weeks, but extrapolating any speed out of that would be original research. -- Yzx (talk) 23:17, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * As long as you state "average speed", you're fine. Assuming the speed is constant would be speculation, but everything else is stated in a reliable (primary) source. Simple mathematical calculations based on referenced figures doesn't count as original research. --Tango (talk) 00:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd have to agree with Tango here. This isn't OR, they give us the distance and time, that's all that's required for speed.  Because I stated 'at least' it should be fine.  It is based on reference data, not guesses. Terryrayc (talk) 13:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The same would apply to the section you removed from the Prometheus, again they give us distance and time which is all you need for speed. I'd probably remove the part that says that makes them faster then any one else because that would be OR.  However using numbers they provide removes the OR issue. Terryrayc (talk) 13:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Anyway I'll clean up the Prometheus section and readd them later as long as no one can give me a strong reason why not...please do not misread that Yzx. Terryrayc (talk) 13:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

It would be nice to know how far Earth is from the edge of the edge of the Milky Way, as well as how far Lantea is from the edge of Pegasus galaxy. Then a more accurate speed coule be calculated. Of course it is not original research to input distance traveled and divide by time taken to calculate average speed.Jt85858 (talk) 13:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Would it be possible to add the distance that the Prometheus covered while still on a direct route to Atlantis (before dirverting to respond to the emergency broadcast of the Al'kesh), in the Episode Prometheus Unbound (SG-1 Season 8 episode 12, although it is episode 11 on the Australian DVD release of the season 8 box set) as it was still well inside the Milky Way? This distance could be added to the total distance traveled by the Daedalus when doing a speed calculation based on a journey from Earth to Lantea. The reason I am suggesting this is that it would give a closer indication of the speed of the Daedalus. I will watch the episode and see if a distance can be calculated based on known facts, such as previously staded speeds. If I am completely wrong in making this suggestion, please go easy on me. This is my first attempt at contributing to wikipedia.org. I thought I would start with something I am passionate about, so I choose to start with stargate.Jt85858 (talk) 13:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * No offense, but this sounds like what only a harcore fan would be interested in. Calculations based on fictional indications is not a good idea, because the writers likely just made up the numbers to begin with. If this doesn't discourage you from contributing to wikipedia's Stargate coverage, please try to find production and reception information about Earth starships from reliable sources, such as from production sketches, audio commentaries, or companion guides. – sgeureka t•c 13:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

f-302 engines
I think the f – 302s are using two Ion engines and a Rocket motor. Earth got Ion engine technology in the episode “Space Race”(Stargate SG1). In the episode “First Strike”(Atlantis) you see the flame of two engines witch originally was for the jet/aerospike engines. When a full burn is called to try to move an asteroid, you see the rocket motor ignite.--Tracker188 (talk) 07:37, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 1. That's an assumption and can't be added to wikipedia without onscreen evidence.
 * 2. The F-302 has been around far longer then Earth having Ion Engine technology and it's design hasn't changed.

New Engine
This was added

'''an experimental power supply on board the vessel put the crew in jeopardy. This power source shifted the Daedalus through various alternate realities'''

However If I remember it was not an experimental power supply but an experimental engine that shifted them. While it is true the engine has an experimental power supply all that did was supply power not do the shifting. Terryrayc (talk) 15:09, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

A bit of ambiguity...
I'm a bit concerned about the following paragraph- A) At superficial reading it implies the Prometheus is Daedalus class B) It implies the ships were all in service concurrently (I know this has been fleshed out in full earlier in the article)

For you consideration...

Status quo

Five Daedalus-class battlecruisers have thus far appeared in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. The color of the lighting and the map behind the commander's chair is different for each ship. The Prometheus is white,[18] the Daedalus is green,[31] the Odyssey is orange,[27] the Korolev is purple[36] and the Apollo is blue.[32] The Phoenix has no map, as it is replaced by an Asgard console.[37] The alternate reality Daedalus from "The Daedalus Variations" also has an orange map instead of green, which Writer and Supervising Producer Alan McCullough stated was done intentionally to differentiate it from the Daedalus of this universe.[38]

Proposed

Earth-built ships are distinguishable by their distinctive interior lighting; notably the lighting of the bridge and the back-lighting for tactical map behind the commander's chair. The Prometheus and Korolev were white and purple respectively. The Odyssey is orange, the Korolev is purple[36] and the Apollo is blue.[32] While the Daedalus is green,[31] its counterpart from "The Daedalus Variations" is also distinctive, with an orange map(a deliberate ploy according to Writer and Supervising Producer Alan MCullough ) [38]. The Phoenix (currently only featuring in the alternative timeline "Last Man Standing") has no map and is replaced by an Asgard console. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Proberton (talk • contribs) 01:56, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Prefix Designations
This could be a really stupid question, but i'm gonna jump right in and ask...

Why are spacecraft under the provenance of the Airforce referred to as USS- XXX? Isn't this a Navy designation?

Now I concede generally, when hailing unidentified craft the callsign "the Earth-ship [shipname]" is used but when we talk about names and designations, we're talking about the name on the side of the chasis. The Prometheus is most definitely USAF, it can clearly be seen rising out of the hanger bay in "Prometheus" (6.11). Proberton (talk) 02:47, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I never paid attention to the exact designations of the Earth space ships. Maybe they never had a USS designation, and it was just added by fans here (in which case it should be removed). But unless we have an in-show explanation (i.e. character dialog) or an explanation by the producers, we can't explain it in this article either because that would be WP:Original research. – sgeureka t•c 08:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

 * For each instance of a USS prefix, it was either confirmed by dialog or by visual evidence, typically the large bronze-coloured seal that is on each ship's bridge, crew patches and logos, or something that was otherwise very clearly visible on-screen. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 08:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Managed to "find" a copy Daedalus Variations. The plaque is very clearly visible. Some very interesting information particularly the fact that the USS Daedalus is part of the "Deep Space Defence Fast Attack Wing". Not sure how to incorporate this information, or even if we can attribute it the Daedalus of the 'normal' universe? Proberton (talk) 00:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Indeed, re: interesting info. However, I recall seeing the Daedalus plaque, and I don't remember the Fast Attack Wing designation. I think that may be just the alt. universe ship. Given that the alt. universe Daedalus was a one-off thing (as of right now, of course), I don't see any real need to incorporate such data into the prose for that particular ship, and none of it can be applied to "our" universe's version. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 04:27, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I just wanted to report that the name plate for the Daedalus (the real one) can be see in Episode ten of Season five First Contact around 35 minutes in, during the scene where the Wraith Todd is onboard the Daedalus on the bridge, he's just been handed an ear peice to communicate with his hive ship, and he paces right past it. It is identical to the same prop from Daedalus Variations, you'll get a better look at its finer detail in that episode though than in First Contact. Haven't seen the ep in high definition so I can't make out the smaller writing, but at least this confirms the Daedalus has the USS prefix in our reality.

 * Regarding the other writing, using the Daedalus Variation closeup of the plaque, I see three phrases bordering the primary ship's name and picture. First up top, curved over the image is "Advanced Tactical Deployment", second just above the "USS Daedalus" writing is "Deep Space Defense", and underneath the ship's name is "Fast Attack Wing". Hopefully we can find a screenshot somewhere to use as factual evidence rather than my say-so, but that is what I can make out now. I was wrong earlier about the ship's plaque saying it was apart of the Second Tactical Wing, and for that I am sorry, I'll remove those references I put in now. I'm fairly sure that the name plates used in the two episodes are one and the same though if that is of any help. 81.110.108.151 (talk) 18:56, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Very interesting, and also very helpful. I'm in Australia, and don't have access to all of Season 5 (I'm a straight to DVD, off the shelf person). If you've seen a visible prop, I say add it where appropriate and cite it. I have a screen grab of the Alternative Daedalus' plaque if any one is interested, from Daedalus Variations. I wonder if we can get some clarification on how to use the "Advanced Tactical Deployment","Deep Space Defence" and "Fast attack wing"... is it like a Company, Platoon, Brigade hierarchy? hmmmm... its a nice little challenge to sink our teeth into! Proberton (talk) 04:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

 * It would be great if we could get solid screen caps (where we can make out those finer details and all the texts) of their bridge plates. We won't be able to do it for every ship, it usually relies on a fortunant camera angle caught by a sharp eyed watcher. But that way we could work out which badges are unique to a ship and which ones are generic titles. The Apollo is the only one seen so far to be apart of The Second Tactical Wing, but I believe all the bridge plaques show the "Deep Space Defense" portion. It would be nice to see for certain, such is the reason I won't add my observations for now, but once we get it confirmed we can add more of those details in. They're certainly valid intel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.108.151 (talk) 17:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Just caught the brass plaque of the Daedalus in 5.01 Search and Rescue its 19:55 from the start. Same enscription. Its really not good enough for a screen capture though. Subsequent to that I have discovered the pilot/helmsman is 'Kevin Marks', USAF. In addition ( lol) there is a tape on Caldwell's right sleeve; "1st T.F.W." Tactical Fighter Wing?? Proberton (talk) 16:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

 * As far as I know, no definitive explanation for TFW or TW has been given, though "Tactical Fighter Wing" and "Tactical Wing" are most probable. There used to be a mention of the 1TFW bit in the old article, so I'm not sure where it went. Also in "Search and Rescue" (so I can add a source)? — Huntster (t • @ • c) 22:08, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I say it's okay to add it as a source, if you're thinking of uploading an image of the plaque itself I'd recommend using the closeup from Daedalus Variations, its the cleanest shot we'll likely ever get and it is 99% certain to be the same plate, I can't find any differences from its other background appearences (plus the dialogue in the ep appeared to show the characters identifying it as "our daedalus" on inspection, suggesting no obvious differences that would scream "This isn't your Daedalus"). Or we could just reference an ep displaying the bridge plate without a screenshot, we've made it clear on this discussion page where the info came from. It appears all ships have these bronze bridge plates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.108.151 (talk) 12:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I can organise a screen shot of the Daedalus Variations plaque. What image policies will we be confronted with though? Proberton (talk) 13:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * If you want to use the image merely as a source, you should reference the episode and the minute of appearance instead of uploading the image.

Earth Ships Combat Record
Is it just me, or do Tau'ri ships have a pretty crummy combat record? Prometheus and Odessey especially. I think the only naed human starship to have not lost a fight is the General Hammond (aka Phoenix - Enemy at the Gates) and that is only because it nev er actually entered the battle!

I cant actually think of an example of Prometheus winning a battle on its own (Sesaon 7 Lost City doesnt count, it had help) Griffin 2-6 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Griffin 2-6 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 5 July 2009 (UTC) \

The Prometheus-class ship(BC-303) supposed to be the Tauri's only kind of capital ship because it was mentioned that it had a pretty outstanding combat record(at the time, BC-304s now make it seem like crap lol) and was a warship cappable of taking on Ha'taks. However, when the asgards installed upgrades onto it, the Prometheus wasn't advanced enough to utilize it, resulting in the BC-304(Daedalus)-class. BC-304s are very powerfull warships, especially after getting the asgard's final upgrades. The Oddessy was given the honnor of being the first Tauri ship to aquire it. Plus, the Oddessy was the first ship to destroy an Ori warship in direct combat, something not even an Asgard ship has been seen doing. Other BC-304s have been mentioned(especially the Daedalus)as tough, destructive warships despite not having very effective-anti shield weapons other than the Asgard beam weps. If that doesn't count as an outstanding combat record, than what counts as outstanding? :-)

General Hammond or George Hammond?
In a photo the name plaque of the ship that was formerly the Phoenix is shown. Its the George Hammond, but in the Atlantis finale its said as the General Hammond. Which should be included.

 * A GateWorld article calls it the George Hammond and states that it is not called the General Hammond, contrary to dialogue. See (spoiler warning): http://www.gateworld.net/news/2009/07/comic-con-booth-shows-off-destiny-new-stargate-universe-footage/2/ Based on this I'll modify the article.

How big is a BC-304?
Does anyone have any idea how large one of these ships is? In Ark of Truth it is almost as wide as the Supergate, which Samantha Carter estimated to be 400m across (Season 9: Beachhead). based on that number, i would estimate it to be approx 350m wide and therefore about 600-700m long.

Does anyone have any more exact measurements/ideas? Griffin 2-6 (talk) 18:05, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * On Stargate Wiki (which uses "Stargate Atlantis: The DVD Collection 70" as a source) it's listed as being: Length=225, Width=95m, Height/Depth=75m... although that seems much too small. Here's the 304 link on SG wiki. It also uses "Stargate SG-1: The DVD Collection 62", which gives slightly different measurements. So, that doesn't seem too useful...—Anubis 10545 (talk) 23:36, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Asgard Technology
Presumably, when the Asgard gave all their most advanced tech to the Odyssey, that also included there intergalactic holographic communications (Red Sky) and their absurdly fast intergalactic hyperdrives (about an hour between Ida and Milky Way, if that, Small Victories).

If so, how come we have not seen any of these fantastic things yet?

Griffin 2-6 (talk) 21:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

In Unending, Daniel spends 50 years trying to decipher all of the Asgard database's secrets, then forgets them as they reverse the time dialation field. Presumably, the database is still being deciphered.

Had not thought of that. Good point. Presumably, even if they decipher the databse they still may not be able to build the super-duper hyperdrives etc anyway

Although, they DID build new ray-guns for Daedalus, Apollo and the rest, AND they can use the beaming thing to turn stuff into other stuff (like star trek replicators i guess) so you must be right, they havent found the specs yet Griffin 2-6 (talk) 19:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

 * It may also be that to truely perform at those kind of Hyperdrive speeds, it would require a radically different vessel. I remember Thor's science vessel appearing alongside the Prometheus, and appeared to be many times larger, at least five times bigger. This could be some sort of unexplained hyperdrive field dynamics, or something as simple as needing the extra space for power generation and the better drive. Remember, we have been shown that the 304s can go many times faster with a ZPM fitted, suggesting it is the power requirements rather than the drives themselves that may be holding the 304s back from further speeds. It could also be as simple as a BIOS upgrade, as per the Aurora's hyperdrive modifications from Interstellar to Intergalactic mainly being changes in formulas used by the computer. My particular theory that it is the Asgard had power generation on the level of ZPMs, just not in the same compact form, and that most of thier ships was actually the machinery necessary to run them; as opposed to flight decks, hundreds of crew members, and cargo decks ect on the BC-304 ships; and that they simply don't have that kind of an infrastructure on the current Earth ships to work at that level, and designing a new class of ship would require a very thorough understanding of the Asgard database AND a great deal of experimentation, essentially it could take decades even if it were classified as a top priority to design a bigger, faster vessel at the peak of the knowledge they now have at their fingertips to learn. 86.133.58.214 (talk) 18:39, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Air Force Naval Vessels?
Can someone explain to me why the CHAIR FORCE has starships instead of the Navy? Sure most SG Teams are Air Force, but come on! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.122.95.211 (talk) 01:50, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Considering that the Stargate program is run by the Air Force, I'd expect starships also attached to the program to also be run by the Air Force. Where is it stated that the Navy must run anything considered a "ship"? For that matter, both the Air Force and the Army both operate naval vessels, and of course the Navy operates aircraft from their carriers. There is plenty of overlap between the various services. — Huntster (t @ c) 02:20, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Can we remove the 'needs reliable sources' banner ?
Since everything is fiction, only things officially affiliated with the show could be used as sources. There's no other sources that are true to cannon.I think its disingenuous to put this banner on this (and MANY similar pages) which implies that it's unreliable when there is genuinely no other material to work from. Its not like the facts here are in doubt or have multiple interpretations, just that the tv show telling us isn't good enough for a wiki article about the tv show. Sure, put something about it being fictional... But don't devalue people's work in this style of article because there have been no scholarly texts on the subject of SG1 space ships.

Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary
Hi! And welcome to wikipedia. I liked the article on Cordell Bank. I wasn't aware that the Wandering and white capped had even been vagrants in Cordell bank. I wonder, however, if it is customary to include them in bird lists except as rare freaks. Anyways, we can work out some wording that mentions them all. Sabine's Sunbird 03:47, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * There is no particular convention on wikipedia, but most texts would draw the distinction between regular passage migranst and super rare vagrants. Personally in all my time in the Gulf of the Farallones I've met one person that has even seen a short-tail, let alone any other vagrant albatross. That said, Cordell Bank does attract weird vagrants on as regular a basis as vagrants tend to come. They had the first Parkinson's Petrel in N America last year. Perhaps a line about them could draw attention to that, and mention Wanderes and white capped? Sabine's Sunbird 22:55, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

looks good to me. thanks for your thoughtful edit. best regards. Anlace 23:09, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

The Marine Mammal Center
thank you for your interest in this article. the migration paths of whales are rather well documented. this particular migration path was cited in a reference already supplied in this artcle (both on-line and hard copy citation versions). in the future, consider reading all the reference material in an article before deleting content that could be useful to wikipedia readers. Anlace 17:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Anlace:

I read the reference you cited. You've omitted the word "presumably" (page 7) from the wikipedia article. I'm curious about whether readers of the article should take the presumption as a fact, and whether it's encyclopedic to include such a presumption. The writers of the Annual Report don't know where that particular whale went, so I'm wondering why we should trust their presumption.

As far as the migratory paths of whales being well-documented, that's a little vague. They're certainly not as well-documented as terrestrial migrations. They're also not as well-documented as grey whale migrations, which hug the coast, making them easily observable. I'd say whale migrations are poorly documented beyond grey whales, but it's six of one, half-a-dozen of the other, really.

Fundamentally, I don't think it's scientifically accurate to claim this particular whale was going to Baja California, when the evidence indicates that there are higher match rates between Calfornia humpbacks and mainland Mexico wintering sites over Baja California sites, and the rate of humpbacks wintering near Costa Rica but feeding off California has not been established.

"Migrations between winter regions and feeding areas did not follow a simple pattern, although highest match rates were found for whales that moved between Hawaii and southeastern Alaska and between mainland and Baja Mexico and California." ... "Humpback whales also winter at scattered locations along the Mexican mainland south of the subareas that have been sampled (Urban and Aguayo 1987). One known wintering region not included in our sample is the coastal waters of Central America, especially Costa Rica and Panama (Steiger et al. 1991, Calambokidis et al. 2000). This is a region where humpback whales from the North Pacific mate and give birth to calves, although no photographs were available from 1991 to 1993 for this analysis. This region appears to be used by humpback whales that migrate almost exclusively from feeding areas off California, with limited evidence of interchange with whales wintering off mainland Mexico (Calambokidis et a/. 2000)."

From: Movements and population structure of humpback whales in the North Pacific.

Also check out Table 8 in the above reference. The match rate for CA-WA feeding humpbacks was 0.51 for mainland Mexico but only 0.18 for Baja.

It seems to me that a good way to word the article would be to say "probably headed for wintering grounds near Mexico" if you have to say where the whale is going at all. Wevets 17:38, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Frank Deford

Benjamin Franklin Deford III (December 16, 1938 – May 28, 2017) was an American sportswriter and novelist. From 1980 until his death in 2017, he was a regular sports commentator on NPR's Morning Edition radio program.

Deford wrote for Sports Illustrated magazine from 1962 until his death in 2017, and was a correspondent for the Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel television program on HBO. He wrote 18 books, nine of them novels. A member of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame, Deford was six times voted National Sportswriter of the Year by the members of that organization, and was twice voted Magazine Writer of the Year by the Washington Journalism Review.

In 2012, Deford became the first magazine recipient of the Red Smith Award. In 2013, he was awarded the National Humanities Medal, was presented with the William Allen White Citation for "excellence in journalism" by the University of Kansas, and became the first sports journalist ever to receive the National Press Foundation's highest honor, the W.M. Kiplinger Award for Distinguished Contributions to Journalism.

Deford's archives are held by the University of Texas at Austin, where an annual lecture is presented in his name. He was a long-time advocate for research and treatment of cystic fibrosis.

Early life
Deford grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, the oldest of three sons, and attended the Calvert School and Gilman School in Baltimore. He is a graduate of Princeton University and resided in Key West, Florida, with his wife, the former Carol Penner, who had been a fashion model. They have two surviving children: Christian (b. 1969) and Scarlet (b. 1980). Scarlet was adopted as an infant from the Philippines a few months after his daughter Alexandra's death from cystic fibrosis at age 8 on January 19, 1980. Deford has two grandchildren; Annabel (b. 2010) and Hunter (b. 2012). Deford met his wife in Delaware and they were married in Newport, Rhode Island in 1965.

Career
After graduation from Princeton in 1962, Deford began his career as a researcher at Sports Illustrated. In addition to his writing at Sports Illustrated, he was a commentator on CNN and worked as a correspondent for HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel since 1995. He was a regular Wednesday commentator for NPR's Morning Edition from 1980 to 2016, when his essays became monthly until he retired in May 2017. Among Deford's most frequent topics was his disdain for soccer. His 1981 novel Everybody's All-American was named one of Sports Illustrated's Top 25 Sports Books of All Time and was later made into a film of the same title.

Much of the fiction he wrote is set outside of the sports realm. His last novel was the acclaimed Bliss, Remembered, a 1930s romance between a pretty young American and the son of a German diplomat; the story is written from the point of view of the woman. He was also the screenwriter on the films Trading Hearts (1988) and Four Minutes (2005).

In 1989, Deford became editor-in-chief of The National, the first daily U.S. sports newspaper. It ceased publication after only 18 months. After writing for Newsweek and Vanity Fair, Deford became a senior contributing writer at Sports Illustrated.

Advocacy
Deford served as chairman of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation from 1982 until 1999 and was chairman emeritus after that. He became a cystic-fibrosis advocate after his daughter Alexandra was diagnosed with the illness in 1972. After she died at age 8 on January 19, 1980, he chronicled her life in the memoir Alex: The Life of a Child. The book was made into a movie starring Craig T. Nelson as Deford, Bonnie Bedelia as his wife Carol, and Gennie James as Alex.

Death
Deford died on May 28, 2017, at the age of 78, at his home in Key West, Florida.

Your Best Life Now

Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential is a book by pastor Joel Osteen. It was published on October 12, 2004, by FaithWords. There is also a calendar, board game, and study guide available based on the book. A 10th Anniversary edition was published on September 3, 2014.

Reception
The book was ranked #1 on The New York Times Self Help Best Seller list. It remained a bestseller for more than two years and has sold over 8 million copies.

Outline

 * 1) Vision
 * 2) Self-Image
 * 3) Power of Thoughts and Words
 * 4) Let Go of the Past
 * 5) Strength through Adversity
 * 6) Live to Give
 * 7) Choose to be happy

Criticism
In the 2010 West Coast Conference, "Christless Christianity", John F. MacArthur criticized this book as being a part of the prosperity gospel. Critics of prosperity gospel consider its teachings anathema to the gospel of Mark:

“Jesus, looking at the man, loved him and said, ‘You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ When the man heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions” (10:21-22).

Osteen has made over $10 million from “Your Best Life Now,” keeping 90% of profits and donating the remainder to his church.

2 minutes du peuple

2 minutes du peuple is a series of two-minute radio sketches, created in 1990 and recorded by Quebec Canadian comedian François Pérusse.

These approximately 2 minute sketches were initially broadcast in Quebec on the show Yé trop d'bonneheure on CKOI-FM before airing on CHOE-FM, CPIC-FM or Énergie. From 1996 to 2012 they were also regularly broadcast on French-speaking radio stations: in Belgium on Joker FM, in France in particular on Europe 2 and Rire et Chansons and in Switzerland on Couleur 3.

In total, more than 3000 episodes were made between 1990 and 1996. In 2016 François Pérusse announced the end of 2 Minutes of People and instead launched Pérusse Express, a similar concept but more focused on current events. However, after this date episodes of 2 Minutes have been released occasionally, as during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The sketches of 2 Minutes of People - called 'capsules' by their author - are recognisable by the acceleration that Pérusse applies to his voice to interpret the different characters, which gives a lively and comic effect without time outs. The absurd humour of the capsules is mainly based on a huge amount of puns, nonsense, and trick or treating. The vast majority of episodes are almost independent of each other, but have recurrent characters. They feature scenes from everyday life, songs or parodies of television shows such as The X-Files, ER, Columbo, and Ça se discute and films etc.

Over the years, the series attained cult status in Quebec and Europe. It has won several awards (seven Félix, six Olivier, a Juno and several Golden Ribbons), has been adapted into a TV series ("La serie du peuple") and the albums made from it have sold over 2 million copies.

Subjects discussed
The 'capsules' of 2 minutes of people form a succession of independent sketches that deal with various subjects (everyday life, news, animals, telephone canvassers or advertising) but which can also form a mini-series on a specific theme (for example historical figures such as Jacques Cartier, Ludwig van Beethoven, Louis XIV, Thomas Edison or the series on musical instruments) and even parodies of games, radio and TV programmes (especially debates and talk shows or variety shows as well as television series such as the X-Files, ER and Columbo) and finally humorous songs.

The capsules are either in a Quebec version (Quebec French) or in a French version (French from France), with several series being unpublished in Quebec or France.

There are a few recurring characters like Doctor Malcolm, Inspector Bocolon (a parody of Inspector Columbo), Krikett the super cop (capsule "Action Movie" and "Police Investigations"), "the guy who shops by telephone", Jean-Charles, or even duos: Roger and Caroline, Fux Molder and Dana Scully (X Files of the People), the apprentice and the boss, the couple of the "Slangster House" or a couple who is at home or going out on the town.

Other characters make a unique (but noticeable) appearance during capsules, like the Human of the Year 2000 (as imagined from the 1960s).

There are also recurring elements, such as mockery of politicians, businessmen and companies, sportsmen, actors, singers and music groups etc.

Regional differences
The series was originally from Quebec, but in the transmission to Europe, capsules containing several references to Quebec were modified, for example the gags around Quebec personalities (Michael Louvain, Pier Béland, Fernand Gignac and the Montreal Canadians). They were modified with stars of the French entertainment industry - animator Arthur, pianist Richard Clayderman, musical group 2be3, and French singers Francis Lalanne and Patrick Bruel are among the changes. But, given the popularity of Patrick Bruel outside France, the latter is parodied a few times in the original Quebec version.

The characters sounding 'too Quebec' also see their names modified, for example in the capsule "Emotion and reason" the lover is called Gaston Rinflet in Quebec, but Guy Bainville in France.

The TV show parodies are also different:

During the first Quebec capsules, there were not many series parodying Quebec programmes in particular, but many parodies of television genres. Since returning to Quebec in 2002, the news bulletins (newspaper) have been parodied in Les Nouvelles à une cenne, which parodies the Quebec channel LCN. In France, the series Ça se dispute parodies the French debate programme Ça se discute and the series Tout le monde s’en fout parodies Tout le monde en parle. However, the Quebec adaptation of Tout le Monde en parle has not been parodied in Quebec.

When the series was on hiatus in Quebec, between 1996 and 2002, several capsules also went from French from France to Quebec French: for example, capsules parodying detective series with the character of Krikett, which adopted new characters in Quebec.

Both versions also use the same gags when it comes to a pun that works just as well in Quebec French as it does in French from France: for example, on a situation of everyday life, even with the presidents of the United States like Bill Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky affair. Gags about French politicians are present in both versions, but the Quebec version often features meetings between politicians on both sides of the Atlantic.

They are broadcast daily on these radio stations:
 * NRJ (Quebec, Canada)
 * Couleur 3 (Switzerland)
 * Rire et Chansons, previously Europe 2 (France)

Talk:Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point

Nice article, but...
I go to Cherry Point often and used to live there. This is a pretty good article. However, we might need an article on the (Naval Air Depot) NADEP Cherry Point and Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue Field. These three installations are close to each other; in fact NADEP is on the Cherry Point base and Bogue is a 45 minute drive away. - Hoshie.Crat 03:57, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I also wonder who was actually deployed in OEF from Cherry Point in those first months after 9/11, as I was on that mission, and we didn't have any Marines. I also note that there's no attribution to the claim that Marines and Corpsmen were involved. Raininja (talk) 03:49, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

The picture of the two Harriers over the front gate is fake and ought to be removed. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=5799209&id=180347441040&fbid=434597866040 That is the link to the photo on the official Cherry Point facebook page. - Marine stationed there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.199.183.17 (talk) 17:59, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

The result of the debate was no consensus to delete, article has been redirected -- Francs2000 | Talk 11:28, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

English travellers
Perhaps it has potential as a stub, but I don't think this vague, unlinked, one-sentence article will ever encompass anything that isn't in Irish Traveller. Could become a redirect, maybe. - Chatoyant 03:58, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Redirect to pikey. Hamster Sandwich 04:03, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and redirect, as above. Good solution.--DNicholls 06:49, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete ("very short article providing little or no context") since there's no evidence given that the group it refers to exists (as opposed to Irish Travellers in England and Roma). Pikey is a (dictionary-like) page explaining a derogatory term in common use for Irish travellers in England. Not an appropriate home for encyclopedia content about the group in question, or any group.Palmiro 18:56, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, I am deeply unconvinced that this terminology exists, and I'm English. It is impossible to Google (or anything else) for so, as it stands, is unverifiable. -Splash 22:48, 23 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.
