Come and take it

"Come and take it" an expression of defiance first used in 1778 at Fort Morris in Georgia during the American Revolution, and also in 1835 at the Battle of Gonzales during the Texas Revolution as well as the American Civil War.

American Revolutionary War

Sunbury, Georgia, once an active port, is now a ghost town located east of Hinesville, Georgia. Fort Morris was constructed in Sunbury by the authority of the Continental Congress. A contingent of British soldiers attempted to take the fort on November 25, 1778. The American contingent at Fort Morris was led by Colonel John McIntosh (c. 1748–1826). The Americans numbered only 127 Continental soldiers plus militiamen and local citizens. The fort itself was crudely constructed and could not have withstood any concerted attack.

The British commander, Colonel Fuser, demanded Fort Morris' surrender through a written note to the American rebels. Though clearly outnumbered (he had only about 200 men plus artillery), Colonel McIntosh's defiant written response to the British demand included the following line: "As to surrendering the fort, receive this laconic reply: COME AND TAKE IT!". The British declined to attack, in large part due to their lack of intelligence regarding other forces in the area. Colonel Fuser believed a recent skirmish in the area, combined with Colonel McIntosh's bravado, might have reflected reinforcements and so the British withdrew.

The British returned in January 1779 with a larger force. They later conquered and controlled nearly all of Georgia for the next few years. Colonel McIntosh's defiance inspired other American rebels as the Revolutionary War moved to the Carolinas and then north.

The Fort Morris Historical Marker is on Martin Road, Midway, Georgia. It is located at the visitor center for the Fort Morris Historic Site. The center is located off Fort Morris Road, at the end of the Colonels Island Highway (Georgia Route 38). The marker memorializes the battle and notes the "Come and Take It!" response.

In recognition of his valor in defending Fort Morris, McIntosh was awarded a sword by the Georgia Legislature with the words "Come and Take It" engraved on the blade. McIntosh later served in the War of 1812 as an American General, still protecting the Georgia coast. He served honorably, receiving honors from the City of Savannah for his service.

Texas Revolution

In January of 1831, Green DeWitt wrote to Ramón Músquiz, the top political official of Bexar, and requested armament for defense of the colony of Gonzales. This request was granted by supplying a Spanish made six-pounder bronze cannon on the condition it be returned when asked for, the colony also having a much smaller cast iron cannon of around one pounder calibre. James Tumlinson, Jr. signed for receipt of the six-pounder cannon on March 10, 1831, in Bexar.

At the minor skirmish in 1835 known as the Battle of Gonzales—the first land battle of the Texas Revolution against Mexico—a small group of Texians successfully resisted the Mexican forces who had orders from Colonel Domingo de Ugartechea to seize the loaned cannon after the Texians had refused to return it when asked.

As a symbol of defiance, Caroline Zumwalt and Eveline DeWitt, young women from Gonzales, made a flag with the phrase "come and take it" (Ven y tómalo) either printed above or below the cannon, or only below the cannon that they had been loaned four years earlier by Mexican officials. This was the same message that was sent to the Mexican government when they told the Texians to return the cannon in compliance with the loan condition; the Texian refusal to do so led to the Mexican attempt to regain the cannon using military force.

The original flag was lost shortly after the battle. Conjectural replicas of the original flag can be seen in the Texas State Capitol, the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, the Sam Houston State University CJ Center, the University of Texas at El Paso Library, the Marine Military Academy headquarters building, the Hockaday School Hoblitzelle Auditorium, and in Perkins Library at Duke University.

American Civil War
On October 12, 1864, during the Franklin–Nashville campaign, Confederate general J. B. Hood wrote to the Union commander at Resaca, Georgia, demanding an "immediate and unconditional surrender". That officer, Col. Clark R. Weaver, declined the request and concluded his letter of reply, "In my opinion, I can hold this post. If you want it, come and take it".

Adapted uses
The first-known modified version, from the 1990s, replaces the cannon with an M16 rifle and was displayed at a Bill of Rights rally in Arizona following the announcement by President George H. W. Bush that certain types of firearms and firearms parts would be banned. It was shown at a number of later rallies and campaign events through the late 1990s, and now resides in a private collection.

In 2002, a version of the flag was created which depicted a Barrett .50 BMG Rifle. Other versions have depicted various firearms, and even other objects dear to the hearts of the flag makers. During the 2000 Stanley Cup Finals at least one Dallas Stars fan had created a replica of the flag with the Stanley Cup replacing the cannon; the Stars were the defending champions that year.

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Portuguese monarchs/archive1

List of Portuguese monarchs
Partial self-nom. Fine list--Gameiro 00:32, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment, would look better as prettytables, since there are no observations for most of them it looks kind of akward. Also, a little bit of colour in the form of backgrounds on the table or a picture of the current monarch for example would be a fine addition. Phoenix2 04:10, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Portugal is a republic. But thanks for the tips.--Gameiro 23:44, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Also, some of the colours are a little harsh, since that was an issue brought up in List of rivers by length. Phoenix2 16:42, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, since there isn't a current King, I put a thumb of the 1st king in the intro. Take it out if you dislike it. Dsmdgold 17:27, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, as it now stands -- ALoan (Talk) 12:34, 20 July 2005 (UTC) Comments: Do the colours indicate something?  The tables are also a bit messy - does the first one need the "-" symbols?  And the column widths should be made the same for all of them. Finally, there are no references. -- ALoan (Talk) 19:39, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I suggested background colours to make the table look a little prettier, I don't think they mean anything in particular. Phoenix2 23:18, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Object (but will fix myself sometime soon I hope), the prose has some grammatical errors in and needs copyediting.
 * The "-" symbols were removed and references added. Can someone adjust the column widths? Thanks.--Gameiro 09:55, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Support--Gito 10:09, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose for now. 1) Keep all the tables a fixed width. Its easier to follow when scrolling down 2) The colour combiinations are a little strange. Is it necessary to colour each table? If you want to colour the tables then I have two suggestions. 1) Have all tables monochrome ie. shades of greens or blues. 2) Use colours which are nearby in the colour spectrum eg. VIBGYOR (its an example of the transition of colours, don't use it though) instead of abruptly changing colours for each table. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  18:11, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking care of my objection. Some niggles which I did not catch earlier: 1) The Manual of Style does not recommend wikifying the headings. Instead, what you should do is add a line under each heading such as "The House of ... began in ... and ended with the death of ..." something like that. Just to give you an idea. I'm not looking for detail, just two sentences would be good enough for me to support this list. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  18:13, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * I was going to fix this, but I was somewhat confused by the dates here that seem to be slightly different to those in, for example, House of Burgundy, Henry, Count of Portugal, Theresa, Countess of Portugal and Afonso I of Portugal.  Henry, Count of Portugal says that he died and Alfonso became count in 1112, and Alfonso declared himself king in 1139.  According to Afonso I of Portugal, he was an infant aged 3 in 1112, but became an adult (aged 14) in 1123, declared himself king in 1129 and was acclaimed as king by his soldiers in 1139.  Presumably Theresa was regent while her son was a minor, from 1112, but what happened in 1126? And what changed in 1143? -- ALoan (Talk) 10:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The colours are now the same for every dynasty and I've fixed the widths of the tables.--Gameiro 02:06, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Support -- Cyberjunkie | Talk 02:22, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * NOTE - although work has been done on the objections, it is not clear whether these points have been fully resolved. I propose keeping this nomination listed for another four days in the hope that the issue will become clearer, jguk 12:37, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Not fully resolved. THe headings shouldn't be wikified. See above. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  15:12, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support has really improved over the past two weeks --Sophitus 02:08, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Object, problems raised by Nichalp and ALoan need to be addressed. --Spangineer (háblame)  16:10, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * The objections raised are now resolved. I've improved every dynasty with an introductory text and transferred the links. The question of the dates is controversial and it's explained in the introductory text of the House of Burgundy. Please, can someone now copyedit the article because my English is a bit lame. Then I believe it could be featured. Thanks for all your objections, they made me work. Gameiro 00:14, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Desmond's Hip City

Desmond's Hip City is a 1997 album by Skydiggers. The album differs from the band's conventional roots rock sound somewhat, with several songs (notably "Shape of Things to Come" and "November in Ontario") adopting more of a hard rock sound and the title track incorporating electronic keyboards and Sonic Youth-style guitar feedback.

Desmond's Hip City refers to a record shop in Brixton, England; band member Josh Finlayson had lived above the store for a time in the early 1980s. Desmond's Hip City was the first Black record shop in Brixton, south of London, England. Photographs of the storefront show it named Desmond's Hip City in the early 1970s. A later view of the storefront can be seen in the 1983 Haysi Fantayzee video, "Sister Friction", where it is called Desmond Hip City.

Guest musicians on the album include Sarah Harmer, Lewis Melville, Jim Cuddy and Anne Bourne.

Track listing
All tracks written by Finlayson/Maize unless otherwise noted.
 * 1) "Desmond's Hip City"  – 3:51
 * 2) "Only a Fool"  – 3:09
 * 3) "Jade Hops"  – 3:57

One-name study

A one-name study is a project researching a specific surname, as opposed to a particular pedigree (ancestors of one person) or descendancy (descendants of one person or couple). Some people who research a specific surname may restrict their research geographically and chronologically, perhaps to one country and time period, while others may collect all occurrences world-wide for all time.

A one-name study is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Studies may have a number of family trees which have no link with each other.

Findings from a one-name study are useful to genealogists. Onomasticians, who study the etymology, meaning and geographic origin of names, also draw on the macro perspective provided by a one-name study.

Scope
Many people conducting family history, genealogical or onomastic research may conduct a one-name study of a surname in a given period or locality quite informally.

A full one-name study can be daunting, particularly if the surname is very common. Conversely, a rare surname can be difficult to trace. Since such studies are usually conducted by individuals as a pastime, they are generally feasible only when a surname is not used by more than a couple of thousand contemporary people, so that the total historical data-set is numbered in the low tens of thousands. Where a surname is used by hundreds of thousands, or millions of people, it would be practically impossible to differentiate these persons using national-index data alone.

In some cultures, one-name studies are impossible, since hereditary surnames are not used at all or in the case of names such as Singh may represent religious practice rather than an ancestry. Since a majority of human societies use patronymic surnames, one-name studies generally focus on male succession and ignore family relationships through marriage.

Some researchers are satisfied to collect all information and group it geographically, approximately representing the different family groups. Others attempt to reconstruct lineages.

In most one-name studies, a united lineage will not be discovered, but broad perspectives can be achieved, giving clues to name origins and migrations. Many researchers are motivated to go beyond the one-name-study stage and to compile fully researched, single-family histories of some of the families they discover.

Methods
Accessibility of the data required for a one-name study varies from country to country. Where civil registration indexes are open to public search, they may not be online or gathered in the national capital, but are scattered through the states, as in Australia, or towns, as in France and the United States. In many countries, such as Germany, civil registration and census data are regarded as a state prerogative: vital data are only available to the persons concerned and 19th-century census returns are not available at all.

One-name studies in the United States have become more feasible than they were, thanks to the increased availability of online indexes to 19th-century and early-20th-century censuses.

More limited one-name studies can be conducted using other national indexes including:
 * telephone and address directories
 * registers of wills or deceased estates
 * electoral rolls
 * land possession records
 * military service indexes

One-name studies are generally rounded out with a miscellany of information drawn from national bibliographies, archival catalogues, patent databases, reports of law cases, tax lists, newspaper indexes and web searches. A one-name researcher may also report on the linguistic origins of the surname and its use in place names and corporate names.

UK surnames
Civil registration indexes of births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales (for the period from 1837), Scotland (from 1855) and Northern Ireland (from 1865 and Protestant marriages from 1845) are in the public domain, and anyone may apply to see the details of any birth, marriage or death. For the period before civil registration, in principle back to 1538 in England and Wales and 1533 in Scotland, parish registers have recorded birth and/or baptisms, marriages and deaths and/or burials. These are also freely available, although the survival of such registers is less likely as we reach back to the earliest dates of this period.

The civil registration index books for England and Wales were scanned and made available online in 2004 by the subscription web site Findmypast (formerly 1837online) and an index has also been created by volunteers for the free web site FreeBMD. Records for Scotland can be searched at the pay-per-view web site ScotlandsPeople, and this means that a one-name study with a British focus can be conducted from anywhere in the world. Civil registration indexes for Northern Ireland can be viewed at the General Register Office (Northern Ireland) (GRONI) on payment of an entrance fee.

Censuses have taken place in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland since the 1800s. The Irish Census returns for the years 1841 to 1891 are not available having been destroyed. Otherwise information from the 10-yearly censuses from 1841 until 1911 is available and facilitates the linking of surname data into family groups.

Since it is possible to extract a complete data-set of a given surname from these public records, ancestries of most 20th-century persons with a particular surname in England and Wales can be compiled without needing any contact to the persons concerned.

Tools
While most one-name studies are conducted as a pastime, rather than as an economic activity, the sheer volume of information to be organised may require semi-professional data-processing and publishing skills. To avoid retyping large volumes of data by hand, one-name researchers are often skilled at data scraping and automated reformatting. The data must be carefully structured. An accurate copy of the original indexes must be drawn up, and updated when they are amended. Errors and conflicts in the indexes are noted. Links to those tables appear in the roll of individual persons.

Many one-name researchers keep data tables in computer spreadsheets because it is possible to see hundreds of items on a single screen and use thinking power to detect patterns. Genealogy software is used by many researchers to collate and define family trees. Others employ relational database software.

Increasingly one-namers are becoming involved in Surname DNA projects, using Y-DNA testing to analyse relationships among different lineages bearing the same surname (or suspected spelling variants).

Motivation and support
One-name researchers often begin a study in the hope that obtaining a massive data set will give them sufficient perspective to break through a barrier in their own family history research. Some are motivated by the belief, only rarely borne out, that kinship can be documented among all persons sharing a surname.

The Guild of One-Name Studies was established in the United Kingdom in September 1979, and maintains a register of surnames being researched by members. It is a channel for anyone wishing to contact the person researching a particular registered name. In 2014 the Guild had over 2,000 world-wide members conducting studies of individual surnames and their variants.

Publication
Traditionally, publication of definitive research is undertaken by printing a book or by publishing a one-name periodical. Such publications are often sponsored by formally established one-name groups. The UK-based Federation of Family History Societies includes several One-Name Societies, whilst the Guild of One-Name Studies has many members who are associated with such organisations. Advice on setting up a one-name group appears in a short booklet, "One-Name Family History Groups" by Derek Palgrave published by the Halsted Trust in 2008.

Today many studies are presented online, since the data can be continually updated and made available worldwide.

A number of Guild of One-Name Studies members have taken advantage of the member benefit called the Members Website Project (MWP) which enables a members to both share and publish their study as a website whilst continuing to work on their study.

This is mostly obsolete, I think. There are however still pockets that use it. "Mark" (e.g. Mark Brandenburg, Steiermark) was also used, not sure they still do. "Landkreis" is definitely still current. 76.97.245.5 (talk) 15:16, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Removed the entry ambacht - Netherlands -  county; ambacht means craft, occupation. There's a county or town (gemeente) Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht,  The town Veenendaal has a neighborhood "Het Ambacht", but that's about it. I don't think this list should include obscure ancient terms? DS Belgium (talk) 07:51, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Links
Can someone resolve 'comuna'/Angola - it 'points' to the Chilean listing.

While there is a certain logic in having certain terms 'point' to the relevant 'List of (country) subdivisions' rather than what would, in many cases, be mere dicdefs (until 'the proverbial someone else' gets round to developing them) should there be a brief section or paragraph defining terms with such listings pages to which the entries here can be linked? Jackiespeel (talk) 09:31, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Entries
The list needs some editing/repointing - 'for instances' include comuna/Angola and comuna/Spanish-speaking countries both link to Communes of Chile; estado Brazil/Mexico/Venezuela links to 'State (polity)'; Raj and Rajya are out of sequence; several terms link to 'List of (cities etc)' and various of the redlink terms do not produce anything on a websearch. Jackiespeel (talk) 10:04, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Clarification needed in section 'English'
Is 'English' an adjective for the language? I assume so, because otherwise, this section would have been entitled, 'England'. Where are the English-language terms for administrative divisions in other countries, that have English names? There are probably lots of these, what about Metropolitan municipality (South Africa), District municipality (South Africa), Local municipality (South Africa), Local government areas of Australia, Local government areas of Nigeria, French commune, German Landkreis and Gemeinde (Germany) and historical ones, like Roman diocese. If these are out of scope here for some reason, then the article needs a new title per WP:PRECISION. Mathglot (talk) 00:53, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Protection
Please note that just because the band is not still together today does not mean that Wikipedia should suddenly erase all record of the band ever having existed or recorded albums. Once a band has established notability, that notability remains in place permanently, and all properly referenced facts about the band during its lifetime remain true and relevant and worthy of note — however, this article has now been mostly or entirely erased five times in the past two years, usually but not always with an edit summary suggesting that the intention was to "update" the article based on the band's current inactive status, even though the article is already written in the past tense. Accordingly, I've been left with no choice but to semiprotect it from IP edits for the time being.

Given that the band are admittedly now defunct, it's not likely that there's going to be a lot else that can be added to the article in the near future, but if and when there is I'd be happy to unprotect if needed. However, the idea that the band's lack of current activity warrants erasing the article altogether is absolutely not acceptable. Wikipedia is a permanent encyclopedia, not a temporary one; if a band was ever notable enough for an article on here, then the fact that they've broken up and aren't recording new material anymore does not change the fact that (a) they did exist at one time, and (b) it is still possible to purchase the albums that they released when they were active, so the band's decision to call it quits does not mean that their music ceased to exist. Bearcat (talk) 23:22, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 23 March 2016
Scott Rankin was one the key band members and probably the one started the band, was left out of all the article by the band member because he quit http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?HT_Search=XARTIST&HT_Search_Info=Scott+Rankin

Dave2k11 (talk) 14:52, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅ Although not with this source. Discography pages on online music stores do not, in and of themselves, constitute reliable sourcing for a Wikipedia article — it doesn't, for example, properly verify that he was ever actually a band member, as opposed to just a session musician hired to play on the album as a guest. I have, however, found a real media source which clarifies that he was a member, so I'm adding it with that source instead. Bearcat (talk) 16:04, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Revelstoke is a city of approximately 8,125 people in British Columbia, Canada. It lies on the Columbia River between the Monashee Mountains to the west and the Selkirk Mountains to the east. The Trans-Canada Highway passes through this city.

Economy
The forest industry is Revelstoke's largest employer, accounting for 21% of basic employment. Transportation accounts for 16% of employment income. Other significant income sources include electrical generation, tourism, and service industries.

The government of British Columbia has approved plans for the development of a $1-Billion world-class Ski Reseort. Constuction on the ski trails began in the Summer of 2005*

Some of the stats differ - can someone familiar with the place please merge in any additional info here - MPF 00:13, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

The stats do differ, and the last census data is from 2000. The city uses an estimate of 7,500 currently for persons living with the municipal boundaries, and I have updated the page to show that. Estimates also vary due to different conceptions of Revelstoke's population - there are many people who live just outside of the municipal boundary, but are still considered part of the city when calculations are made for health care funding and other services.

Today I was reading about the history of Washington State and came across a reference to "Death Rapids (Revelstoke)". That's all there was to the mention. Anyone know what this refers to? An intriguing name.. was there a Columbia River rapids at Revelstoke by that name.. perhaps submerged by Revelstoke Dam? Pfly 07:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Some research seems to answer my question.. apparently there was a Death Rapids, or "Les Dalles du Mort"; now submerged beneath Lake Revelstoke... although http://srmwww.gov.bc.ca/bcgn-bin/bcg10?name=50400 points out: "This is NOT an Official Name". Huh.. so what is the official name of the ex-rapids? Pfly 07:57, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The Revelstoke dam was built at the "Little Dalles". The Dalles Du Mort or Death rapids are 40 miles upstream. Although now submerged they are below the Downie Slide area. The Downie slide is an unstable area which has been stablized by dewatering adits. Talking to someone who was familiar with the area before it was flooded, he said that the Dalles Du Mort were a result of the creeping slide causing a constriction in the river.

The Dalles Du Mort were named after a whole canoe load of fur traders (12 I think) were tipped and drown while negotiating the rapids in the first half of the 19th century. The Meti, who comprized most of the fur trader employees, where french speaking hence the french name for the rapids. Walter Moberly's book "Rocks and Rivers of British Columbia" has a good account of going through these rapids in the 1870's.

I believe it's redundant with Category:Current events and also isn't being used much. - McCart42 (talk) 22:43, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

What is the purpose of having a separate "Current events" category for every country? I understand an article, but why a category? Couldn't it just fit in to two categories: Current events and India? Also, isn't this type of specialization better suited for Wikinews? - McCart42 (talk) 15:20, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Sorry to bring this up back again. I think there was not much debate on this. When the cfd vote was started, there was no entry in the Wikipedia:Categories for deletion, so I did put my opinion to keep the category on the talk page of the category. I did'nt see any more discussion out there, so I assumed nothing more is going on on this. I think this is wrongly deleted. The purpose of having a different category, is so that it does not clutter out the Category:India.

Also this not been used much was rectified, by categorizing appropriate articles in the same category. (13:58, 20 July 2005 (UTC))

 * Rename Kbdank71 has a good idea. of course we are then recreating Category:Overpopulated categories so i suggest renaming this to that now available name, with appropriate changes to the text so that it clearly apples exclusively to categories. The main reason i think this should be done is that the actions needed for splitting an overpopulated category are quite different from those needed for dealing with a very large or "Heavily expanded" (a term i dislike, for one thing it could also apply to a former stub recently rewritten to a good-size article) article; and the people interested in dealing with splitting a category may well be different feom thsoe intersted in dealing with splitting and article.

Category:Military bases in North Carolina

The result of the debate was rename --Kbdank71 14:21, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I propose these be changed to Category:Military facilities in Kansas and Category:Military facilities in North Carolina. Wikipedia apparently draws a distinction between, e.g. Category:Military facilities of the United States and Category:United States military bases or between Category:United States Army facilities and Category:Bases of the U.S. Army. Let us leave aside for the moment the overlap with Category:United States Army bases. "Facilities" is both more inclusive and more accurate, as the categories include articles about installations which fall outside the bureaucratic designation of "base," and future categories of this type are likely to be populated at the hands of non-experts. The new nomenclature is still well-understood by the public, but would invite less ambiguity. - choster 00:55, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename per nominator : but also merge Category:Bases of the U.S. Army to Category:United States Army bases for consistency with expanded abbreviation. -Splash 01:02, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, that would need a separate CfD. I won't do that right now in case something turns up in this debate of relevance. Someone remind me later... -Splash 01:05, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

 * All your facilities are belong to us! Merge all 'military base' categories into 'military facilities'. Radiant_ >|< 14:15, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. siafu 00:06, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't understand using a distinction as a reason to combine. "Military base" categories can be subcategories of "military facility" categories. To do otherwise is akin to deleting a "drummer" category and putting all the drummers individually into the "musician" category. Maurreen 08:59, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Agree with Maurreen.  Facilities can act as a supercategory to army bases, air bases, etc.  --Kbdank71 14:27, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * If there are a hundred musicians from fifty states, half of whom are drummers, and half pianists, do we really need a hundred and fifty categories? What if, instead of drummers and pianists, the options were 2-engine jetlineres and 4-engine jetliners? - choster 06:46, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Not sure where you are going with that argument. Your nomination said nothing of merging anything, but renaming two categories.  So according to your example, you'd still have your hundred and fifty drummer and pianist categories, they'd just be named something different. --Kbdank71 13:30, 20 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 category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

 * I am cautioning against hypercategorization. The category is named "Drummers" but it actually contains four drummers, two pianists, and the conductor. Rather than create "Musicians," "Pianists," and "Conductors" why not simply rename the category "Musicians," especially since WP recatting is tedious. -choster 14:27, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You're missing my point. Re-read your nomination, look at how many "bases", "facilities", etc categories already exist.  We're not merging anything.  We're not creating anything.  Two renames is all you asked for.  So in your latest example, you already have your "Drummers", "Pianists", "Conductors", and "Musicians" categories.  They already exist.  All this did was rename "Pianists" to "Piano players".  Everything else still exists.  Just as your "bases", "facilities", etc, still exist.  But this is a moot point now, because the consensus was to rename the two categories and keep everything else as is.  And just to let you know, recatting is tedious, but that's exactly what a rename is.  You can't "rename" a category like you can an article.  Someone now has to go in, create two new categories, recategorize all of the articles, and delete the original ones.  So bottom line, we saved nothing.  --Kbdank71 14:38, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

It is moot for these particular case, but I'm interested in how Choster sees "bases" as "hypercategorization." I don't understand what you're trying to illustrate above. Maurreen 15:34, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Alan Mullally

Alan Mullally (born 12 July 1969) is an English former first-class cricketer, who played Tests and ODIs. Mullally grew up in Western Australia, and played for the Australian Under-19 side against their West Indian counterparts in 1987/88.

Domestic career
That same season he made his first-class debut for Western Australia in their Sheffield Shield final victory over Queensland at Perth. He stayed with Western Australia for another couple of seasons, with variable success.

Meanwhile, he had made his Hampshire debut, against Oxford University in May 1988. He did not take a wicket in that match, and he spent the rest of the English summer in Hampshire's second team. A more productive time followed back in Australia in 1988/89 as he took 23 first-class wickets, including seven in an innings victory in an MG Kailis-Kemplast Trophy game against Tamil Nadu at Perth.

Mullally did not play in England in 1989, and the 1989/90 Australian season was something of a disappointment as he took just 11 first-class wickets, but in 1990 Mullally returned to county cricket with Leicestershire, doing reasonably well with the highlight a haul of 6–38 (which remains his best in List A cricket) in a one-day game against the touring New Zealanders in June. That winter he returned to Australia, playing just a single game for Victoria.

For several years Mullally performed steadily with Leicestershire, capped in 1993 and taking between 40 and 70 first-class wickets a season while playing in the great majority of the county's games. His most successful year during this period was 1996, when he claimed 70 first-class wickets and, perhaps more startling for a man renowned throughout his career for his incompetence with the bat, made his only two first-class fifties, both at number 11: he scored 68 against Surrey in June, then followed it up in September with 75 against Middlesex.

In 2000 he returned to Hampshire, where he had begun his career in England, and he and Shane Warne carried the county's bowling attack almost by themselves in a difficult season for the club; that August he recorded his best bowling figures of 9–93 against Derbyshire (following up with 5–95 in the second innings for match figures of 14–188), although the game was drawn.

Mullally continued to be a regular pick in the Hampshire side for the next few years, averaging under 20 with the ball in both 2000 and 2001, and claiming five-wicket hauls on six occasions in the latter season, but from 2003 onwards his performances began to fall away, especially in first-class cricket in which he took only 35 wickets in 2003 and 2004 combined. His county persevered with him for some while, and in 2004 he took 22 List A wickets, but the award of a benefit season in 2005 could not disguise his decline and after a friendly against Kent and three totesport League matches in April and May, he dropped out of the first team entirely. At the end of the 2005 season he announced his retirement.

International career
In 1996 also, he was selected by England for the first Test against India at Edgbaston. He took five wickets in the match as England won by eight wickets, and played in all six Tests that summer against India and Pakistan, as well as in three One Day Internationals against the latter opponents. It was to be in ODIs where Mullally was to make his mark as an England cricketer, not so much for his penetration as for his accuracy: his economy rate was so good that at one time he was listed as the second-best bowler in the world in that form of the game.

Mullally was in and out of the Test side from then on, his best period being 1998/99, when he took 12 Australian wickets in four Ashes Tests at 30.33, including his career-best 5–105 at Brisbane Cricket Ground, and the following home series against New Zealand, when he claimed 11 wickets at 27.27 from three games. In limited-overs cricket, however, he was still considered a central part of the team, and he took 10 wickets at just 17.60 in the 1999 World Cup, second in England's averages (just behind Darren Gough) and with the best economy rate of any English bowler in the competition.

In June 2001 he played his final ODI against Australia at The Oval, and conceded 27 runs from his four overs as England were crushed by eight wickets, and also his last Test against the same opponents at Headingley when recalled for a single time in August, having played his previous Test match against South Africa in January 2000.

Mullally was a poor batsman, and more often than not occupied the No. 11 position in the England batting line-up. However, he struck an aggressive 16 off 15 balls, including 3 cross-batted fours off Glenn McGrath, to help England to a 12-run win against Australia at Melbourne in 1998/99. His highest Test score of 24 against Pakistan featured several airborne boundaries off Wasim Akram. Allegedly the then England coach David Lloyd had offered Mullally 30 pints of Guinness to score 30 in that match.
