Archaeology or History?
Any information on the original location/settlements of these people? Can they be tied to excavated archaeloogical sites in Panama? They aren't really included in Wiki articles about Panama (see Coclé). Thanks. WBardwin 18:28, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * According to a November 2003 issue of National Geographic from Latin America, it is believed that they migrated northward up from Colombia. The Kuna legend about their migration is surprisingly down-to-earth; they moved up because of an enemy nation, and they moved out to the islands because of the mosquitos on the mainland.

Swastika, Flag
FOTW has a Kuna flag. On it is a Swastika. Is this new, perhaps adopted from North American Indians, or is it ancient? Khirad 09:01, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It is a traditional symbol, as it is in many parts of the world, but it became a prominent feature on the flag after the intervention of a European anthropologist in the early 20th century. Awakeandalive1 14:20, 12 June 2007 (EST)

Sahila Tomas De Leon of Ustupu explained to me, that the Swastika was a symbol for two things. As it is drawn, it stands for "Pensar o Morir" (Think or Die). It is also symbolic of the journey made by the Indians of North and South America from their original homelands in Asia...across the Bering Straits and into the Americas, or Abya Yala. During WWII, Americans in the Canal Zone of Panama tried to get the Kuna to stop using the symbol, because of its misuse by the Nazis. For the Kuna it is a matter of great pride to still use the Swastika. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarvelMcFey (talk • contribs) 23:20, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The Kuna shares the namesake Ture associated with so-called Turanians or Turkic peoples of Northeast and Central Asia, and indeed are of Siberian and later North American origins. The Mayas, Chiriqui, Arawak, Carib and Lempa are thought to descended from possible Siouan-Iroquoian ancestral migrations across the Caribbean Sea, other than the generally accepted study they came from Central or Southern Mexico by migrating across the mountainous isthmus of Central America into that part of South America. 71.102.1.101 (talk) 03:31, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Religious proselitism?
I'm not sure if this is the place to make this comment. The following comment appears in the heading, and I really don't think it should be there: "The week of 15 September 2014 marks the celebration of the delivery of the Bible in their own language. This work started over four decades ago when Wilma and Keith Forster of Wycliffe Bible Translators moved to a village to learn the Border Kuna language. The Old Testament has only been translated into San Blas Island Kuna." Why would this be important at all? Quite the contrary, it seems that its sole purpose is to proselytize the work of the Forsters and other Bible translators. Not only do I think this is irrelevant, but furthermore it brings controversial issues of cultural assimilation, religious freedom and others. I wanted to delete it, as I think my arguments are good, but thought other editors should help in the decision — Preceding unsigned comment added by Severian79 (talk • contribs) 03:43, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Health
this edit back in 2012 by an IP is interesting. I just noticed that it misrepresents the stats in the source it quoted, a study "funded in part by the Instituto Commemorativo Gorgas de Estudios de la Salud and the M&M/Mars Company" that notes "Cocoa is the richest source of flavonoids... The Kuna living in the San Blas drink a flavanol-rich cocoa as their main beverage ... thus probably have the most flavonoid-rich diet of any population" I've corrected the stats. --Elvey(t•c) 21:01, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Richard Omar
I deleted "The Kunas won the battle because of the help of Richard Omar, an American." The date given was 1501, so roughly 100 years before the Jamestown settlement was established. This looks more like self-insert vandalism than genuine history, and the only references to "Richard Omar" and "Kuna" I could find online are copies of this article. It appears to be by Oreo12392.

Steele County Free Fair

The Steele County Free Fair is an annual week-long summer county fair held in Owatonna, Minnesota, United States, the county seat of Steele County. It is the largest free county fair in Minnesota, displaying over 2,000 animals each year and hosting over 450 vendors who sell food, commercial goods and services, and arts and crafts.

History
The first fair in Steele County was held on October17, 1860. Prizes were awarded for categories such as "best 6 yoke of working oxen", "best butter churn", and "best wagon made in county". Horse racing featured. There is no record of the fair having taken place between 1861 and 1871, possibly due to the American Civil War. In 1872 it was held in a pasture on Main Street, and until 1917 it was held at various locations in the community. It moved to its current location in 1918. By 1927 the fair became a "free fair" with no admission charged. In the 1930s the fair introduced auto racing and grandstand stage shows with chorus lines, as addition to its traditional attractions. Free entertainment stages were added in 1979.

No fair was held between 1942 and 1945 because of World War II, nor 2020 on grounds of COVID-19 pandemic.

The modern fair
The fair runs for one week during each summer. Entry to the fair is free, although it does cost to park. The fair is one of the largest in the region, claiming to be "the largest free fair in Minnesota" 24 bands and entertainers perform on the fair's various stages.

The fair is focused on agriculture; about 2,000 animals are displayed each year, and the fastest growing attractions are the horses. Vendors came from 25 states in 2016 and staffed 500 booths, including 100 food stands. Other attractions and events include a talent show, a "Kid's Pedal Pull", and an automobile museum.

Academic majors - how to report them
I've been in the process of adding information on most popular undergraduate majors to articles on college and university websites a few at a time, using the data reported on College Navigator at the nces.ed.gov website run by the U.S. Dept of Education. When I did that here, the result was (for 2021 grads): My edit was reverted, with the argument being that it is more useful for comparison purposed to use broader categories than the majors as reported to nces. The revert restored the prior information in this article, which breaks down all of the majors at Pomona into four broad categories, as reported on the college's own "Completed Majors" page. I can see an argument for broader categories - the example being given that, if you combine the Biology and Molecular Biology fields, which might not be separate majors at some other college, it becomes one of the top fields of study. I think that is a valid argument, but the other hand, the categories being used on the Pomona website and this article seem so broad as to be meaningless. For example, it reports that the largest percentage of graduates are in "Natural Sciences" - 39% for 2022. That encompasses eight separate departments: Computer Science, Neuroscience, Biology, Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Psychological Science, Physics and Geology, many of which are completely unrelated. And the "Interdisciplinary" category combines departments that would not be regarded as interdisciplinary studies at most other colleges. So, this is not to me a terribly useful summary of what the college's actual focus is. It also obscures that Econometrics and Computer Science are far and away the two most popular individual majors on campus.
 * Econometrics & Quantitative Economics (43)
 * Computer Science (33)
 * Political Science & Government (21)
 * Mathematics (19)
 * Research & Experimental Psychology (19)
 * Neuroscience (17)
 * Chemistry (17)

If broader categories are desired in this article based on the Bio breakdown, I suggest that this article use the majors that NCES uses (now updated for 2022), except in the case of biology, where the broader category would be used:
 * Biological and Biomedical Sciences (Biology/Biological Sciences, Molecular Biology and Neuroscience) - (50)
 * Computer Science - 49
 * Econometrics and Quantitative Economics (44)
 * Mathematics -(23)
 * Political Science and Government - (21)

It's just a suggestion. Do with it as you will. I won't revisit this article, but I'll continue to use the individual major data on the other college articles that I edit. Banks Irk (talk) 19:31, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the explanation, Banks Irk! Since this question applies very broadly to all colleges, I think it's best discussed at the WikiProject Higher education talk page. I see you also opened a thread there, so let's centralize discussion at that. Cheers, {{u| Sdkb  }}  talk 03:05, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Professors list selections
Hi @Fpmfpm! I saw you recently added a few professors to the list. When I was originally compiling it, I tried to include only the very most well-known or accomplished faculty in Pomona's history, with the others going at List of Pomona College people. As the hidden comment says, "As a rough rule of thumb, there should be a chance that a random person with no special interest in the listee's field might have heard of them." I know that Everett L. Bull, Shahriar Shahriari, and Kim Bruce are all very accomplished (as evidenced by their endowed chairs) and have been very beloved by students, but when I was researching for their own articles, I didn't find indications that any of them had become cultural figures akin to someone like David Foster Wallace. Given that, would it be alright with you to transfer them to the Pomona people list article? {{u| Sdkb  }}  talk 02:35, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Sdkb! Ah, that makes sense. I'd vote for keeping Samuel Yamashita in the list in this article as he is a well-known historian and author of multiple books, lecture series, etc. about major figures and influences in Pacific Rim cuisine and Hawaii Regional Cuisine, and in defining those terms; I don't know if I'd call him a "cultural figure", per se, but certainly those outside academia are familiar with him and his work. We might want to also consider leaving in Meredith Landman due to the fact that her article primarily discusses her work as a musician (in fact, the mention of her professorship at Pomona was previously removed from her article due to someone not believing the source!) with her band being featured in places like on the Napoleon Dynamite OST – so she's notable for other reasons, and again outside academia. For the others, definitely fine if they get moved over, I agree! I'll try to get to this tonight, otherwise do feel free to do the move yourself if you have time. Thanks!! –Fpmfpm (talk) 04:07, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Fpmfpm, made the transfer! I kept Yamashita as a courtesy, although I'm not persuaded he rises to the level of cultural recognition that would be needed to fit in with the others listed and surpass others not listed (e.g. Karl Benjamin didn't quite make the cut, despite having had a successful art career and receiving an NYT obit). For Yamashita's article, I was able to find a few sources focusing on his work, e.g. this, but not really anything at the next level of eminence, which would be secondary sources that go into detail about his personal biography (e.g. an L.A. Times profile that includes a section with "Yamashita was born blah blah blah... During his childhood, blah blah blah..."). Compare that to e.g. Stanley Crouch, who is listed, who has many more sources available.
 * For Meredith Landman, I don't think any argument for inclusion could be made. First, we need to consider that she was only a visiting professor (and assistant professor, the lowest rank) rather than a permanent member of the faculty, which is a factor I forgot to mention in the hidden note (just added it) but considered when originally compiling the list — for instance, I left out Jerry Voorhis, a U.S. Representative, because he taught only on a visiting basis for five years (probably would've included him if he was a U.S. Senator, as I include Senators but not Reps on the adjoining alumni list, which has a slightly different bar but still). Second, I can barely find any coverage of her band, to the point where I question its notability, so I don't think it's nearly well-known enough to make her a cultural figure. To frame it a different way, if we did 100 person-on-the-street interviews, I don't think it's likely we'd find someone who knew of her, the way we might for e.g. Crouch.
 * Sorry to not be able to be more flexible here. Having and sticking to strict standards for who to include is something that rightfully encouraged during this article's featured article candidacy, as otherwise these lists tend to inevitably grow over time and become diluted/overlong. On the plus side, there's a bit more room in List of Pomona College people for longer descriptions, so if you want to add any additional (sourced) details about these professors there, definitely feel free. Also, I love the format you introduced for professors that are also alumni! There aren't any of those currently after the transfers, but I retained the code commented out so that we can use it if we add others in that group in the future.

Lead additions
Hi @DoodleGiggly! I saw that you restored your additions to the lead with the summary "Restored info with additional refs." The issue I have is not that the info is unsourced but rather that it is undue. Article leads are intended to be concise summaries of the article overall, and for a topic as expansive as a college with 125+ years of history, that means including only the most essential information.

Going through the additions, "with small classes and strong student-faculty relationships" is something that I think reflects more the college's modern branding than its founders' goals. The concern about keeping it small and close-knit wasn't prevalent in the 1880s from my understanding; it came later in the 1920s, as the number of college students grew and many other schools expanded.

Listing out specific qualities of the consortium is something we can save for the body. "Adjacent, affiliated institutions" seems a sufficient concise summary for the lead.

Regarding listing the number of clubs, we already cover student life in the lead by noting the college's residential character and athletics. If there was a good way to concisely summarize student organizations, I'd be open to it, but I don't think just listing the number is very meaningful — it's about as many as most colleges Pomona's size have, so it's not distinctive, and in any case a numerical count of clubs is a questionable heuristic for measuring the character of a college's extracurricular life.

Study abroad gets only three sentences in the body, and likewise isn't something distinctive, so I don't think it's due to mention.

The top industries for graduates is again something that isn't particularly distinctive compared to other liberal arts colleges, and something I don't think readers tend to be as interested in as prominent alumni (which also give a flavor of post-graduate pursuits).

Hope that helps explain the choices behind the lead weighting. Currently, the lead is 273 words long, which is just slightly below average for FAs per MOS:LEADLENGTH. If we were to expand it, adding a mention of the 47 tradition (as in the TFA blurb) would be the next thing I'd look to add, but that seems just slightly less important/due than the other info currently there. Also note that MOS:LEADCITE means we limit citations in the lead to controversial qualitative information, quotes, and information not repeated in the body. Cheers, {{u| Sdkb  }}  talk 22:35, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Protester arrests
@Glman, I saw that you reverted last week an IP's attempt to add a sentence about the protester arrests at the college. I've been on the fence about it myself, but as I read more I'm leaning toward inclusion.

On the one hand, the arrests were a single discrete event, and as the hidden comment I wrote several years ago states, When adding recent events, be careful to avoid giving them undue weight disproportional to their historical importance. A bomb exploding at Carnegie only gets one sentence above; the latest campus controversy almost surely doesn't need three paragraphs. See WP:Recentism. Several other major protests in the college's history, such as those against South African apartheid, or those to preserve the Bernard Field Station (which also involved arrests), turned out ultimately to be undue in the larger historical narrative.

On the other hand, the arrests and fallout have garnered significant media attention — from The Chronicle of Higher Education and the Los Angeles Times (twice), among others. They also fold into some larger narratives — the campus has been somewhat of an activism hotspot for years, and activism over Israel-Palestine in particular has been the biggest story of the past few months, including the arrest of a professor (at the request of Claremont Colleges Campus Safety, which is somewhat separate from the Pomona administration) in December. The chair of faculty's quote that It is the worst on campus that it has been in a while is something I give some weight.

Trying to put recent events into historical perspective as they're still unfolding is always going to be an impossible task, but I think it's important we make as informed a choice as we can, since as this is our only FA on a college other editors may (or at least ought to) look here for precedent when trying to decide how to cover protests elsewhere. If we do include a line, I'd favor the language In April 2024, the college had 19 demonstrators occupying the president's office to urge the college to divest from Israel arrested, prompting protests and condemnations. Would you, or any WP:HED regulars like @ElKevbo or @Robminchin, have additional thoughts on this?  Sdkb  talk 22:17, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Hackney Central

Hackney Central is a sub-district of Hackney in the London Borough of Hackney in London, England and is four miles (6.4 km) northeast of Charing Cross.

The Hackney Central area is focused on Mare Street and the retail areas to the north of it including Narrow Way and surrounding local area around Hackney Downs railway station. As such it extends north from Regent's Canal (with Bethnal Green), takes in most of Broadway Market and London Fields, and follows each side of Mare Street till it terminates in the vicinity of Hackney Central railway station. The area also includes the central retail area which extends from Hackney Downs station in the west to the Hackney Walk Outlet Village, on Morning Lane and goes in between Wick Road (Homerton) and Cassland Road (South Hackney) till meeting Hackney Wick, to the east.

Hackney Central is the area that once would have been known as Hackney Village. This was a place that flourished from the Tudor period, when principal members of the Court had their houses in the surrounding area, and King Henry VIII of England had a palace (located near the modern Lea Bridge Road roundabout). Hackney Central remained a popular resort for Londoners until the end of the Georgian era, when this suburb of London began to be completely built up. Railways, trams and factories brought an end to Hackney's rural atmosphere during the Victorian era, and its fortunes declined.

The industries of nearby Homerton and the Lee Valley have largely disappeared, leaving the NHS and local council as the largest employers. Successive waves of immigrants, both from abroad and within the United Kingdom, make modern Hackney a culturally vibrant part of inner London, with both the benefits and challenges that this brings.

Extensive post-World War II redevelopment replaced much of the housing stock, but the Georgian housing and Victorian terraces that remain have become popular again.

History
In 1727 Daniel Defoe said of the villages of Hackney "All these, except the Wyck-house, are within a few years so encreas'd in buildings, and so fully inhabited, that there is no comparison to be made between their present and past state: Every separate hamlet is encreas'd, and some of them more than treble as big as formerly; Indeed as this whole town is included in the bills of mortality, tho' no where joining to London, it is in some respects to be call'd a part of it."

"This town is so remarkable for the retreat of wealthy citizens, that there is at this time near a hundred coaches kept in it; tho' I will not join with a certain satyrical author, who said of Hackney, that there were more coaches than Christians in it."

Early origins
In Roman times Ermine Street passed to the west of what is now Hackney Central. The land was covered with open oak and hazel woodlands, with marshland around the rivers and streams that crossed the area. Hackney lay in the Catevallauni tribal territory.

The name Hackney derives from a 5th- or 6th-century Saxon settlement known as Haca's ey – or raised ground in marshland. The settlement was near Hackney Brook, and was probably on the higher ground around the later St Augustine's Tower. Hackney is not mentioned by name in the Norman Domesday Book; at that time it formed a part of the manor of Stepney.

Tudor village
Little remains of early Hackney, except the Tudor St Augustine's Tower, which survives as Hackney's oldest building. The churchyard, Hackney Brook, and the surrounding villages prevented Hackney's expansion, and by 1605 the village had a lower rateable value than the other divisions of the parish. In Tudor times there were a number of fine houses along Church Street, but many Tudor courtiers lived in nearby Homerton. On the site of Brooke House college, in Clopton was sited one of Henry VIII's palaces, where his daughter Mary took the Oath of Supremacy. Her guardian was Henry's Principal Secretary of State Ralph Sadleir, a resident of Bryck Place, Homerton.

A further cluster of houses existed in medieval times, where Well Street enters Mare Street. The Loddiges family founded their extensive plant nursery business on open ground to the north-east of here in the 18th century.

Georgian period
By 1724, while still consisting of a single street, there is an unbroken line of buildings, except by the churchyard and by the brook, with large gardens behind for the finer houses and inns. The 16th-century church, despite galleries being installed, became too small for the needs of the parish, and parliament was petitioned in 1790 for a modern larger church to be built. This began in 1791 on a field to the north east of the old church, but was bedeviled by builders' bankruptcies and not finally completed until 1812–1813 when the tower and porches were added. Further disaster struck in a fire of 1955. In the churchyard stands the tomb of Francis Beaufort, deviser of the Beaufort wind force scale; and that of John Hunter, the second governor of New South Wales, Australia. The Loddiges family also has a tomb in the churchyard and memorials within the church. The parish burial register records the death of "Anthony, a poore old negro, aged 105" in 1630. This is all that is known of Anthony, the first recorded black resident of Hackney. The villages of Hackney, Lower Clapton and Homerton remained separated by fields into the 19th century. The fine houses remained, with large gardens behind. Artisans and labourers lived in cottages established in these gardens. There was not the room, or the will, for major rebuilding in the village. By 1800, St Thomas' Square, a Georgian square was laid out on the southern end of Mare Street. By the 20th century, these buildings had declined and were replaced with public housing. An early 18th-century mansion, now the New Landsdown Club, but once the headquarters of Elizabeth Fry's British Ladies' Society for Promoting the Reformation of Female Prisoners remains at 195 Mare Street. It is Grade II* listed, but in poor condition and on the English Heritage register of buildings at risk. In neighbouring Homerton, (to the east of the churchyard) Sutton Place was built by 1806, near Sutton House.

The rebuilding of the Church, on a field to the north of the village, altered the course of the road and allowed the establishment of Clapton Square in 1816, in nearby Lower Clapton. Much of the area to the north and east of the churchyard now forms the Clapton Square Conservation Area, designated in 1969.

Victorian Hackney
During the Victorian era, many of the old buildings were swept away and the estates broken up to form streets of terraced housing. The change from rural suburb to firmly urban, was marked by the arrival of the railway in 1850, with a great iron rail bridge crossing Mare Street. Trams began to make their appearance on the streets in the 1870s, and a tram depot opened in 1882 on Bohemia Place.

Increased access and the culverting of Hackney Brook in 1859–1860, brought about the present road layout. Many older buildings were pulled down to intensify development and to make room for street widening and the railway. In 1802 the parish vestry hall on the Narrow Way was rebuilt. In 1900 it was re-faced in stone and given a pediment inscribed 'Hackney Old Town Hall'. A new town hall was built on a different site in 1866; it was in turn superseded by today's Town Hall, built in 1937. By the turn of the 20th century, only St Johns Gardens, and Clapton Square, the areas around the 1791 church, remained as public open space.

Governance
There is a Hackney Central ward electoral ward for Hackney Council, which, as electoral wards require roughly equal electorates, corresponds only very roughly to the area after which it is named.

Geography
Hackney Central is the geographic, administrative and retail core of Hackney and is based on the village that grew up within the pre-existing parish of Hackney which had been in existence, with consistent boundaries, from the medieval period.

The term Hackney Proper was often applied to that wider district which also includes Hackney Wick, South Hackney, West Hackney, Homerton, Dalston, De Beauvoir Town, Stamford Hill and Upper and Lower Clapton.

In 1965 the term Hackney was used to name the London Borough of Hackney, however the borough also includes Shoreditch and Stoke Newington.

Hackney Town Hall is about 5 mi north-east of Charing Cross; and 3.8 mi from the GLA City Hall near Tower Bridge.

Landmarks
South of Hackney Central railway station Mare Street slices through Hackney's 'cultural quarter' of Town Hall Square. Its north side is dominated by Frank Matcham's Grade II* listed 1901 Hackney Empire music hall, on whose stage appeared Charles Chaplin and Marie Lloyd – who lived in nearby Graham Road. On the west side of Town Hall Square is the 1934–1937 Grade II Hackney Town Hall in Portland Stone, fronted by an open space created when its predecessor, the Hackney Vestry Hall of 1860 was demolished. A new town hall complex is being constructed behind the existing building. Opposite on the East side, is the 2001 refurbishment of the Central Library and Methodist Hall, combined to form the Ocean Music Venue. The square is completed by the 2002 Learning and Technology Centre. This houses the new Hackney Central Library, the Hackney Archive, the local museum and the offices of the Hackney Learning Trust.

North of the railway bridge, Mare Street continues as The Narroway (originally known as Church Street). By St Augustine's Tower, a Grade I landmark, is the 'Old Town Hall' built to serve the Parish of Hackney in 1802. It is now a betting shop. To the east are St Johns' Church Gardens. In 2009, they were awarded Heritage Green Flag status. Within the gardens stands the Church of St John-at-Hackney (built 1792).

The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & Natural History opened in 2015, the museum and bar is situated in a former call centre on Mare Street that is run by Viktor Wynd, which is a part of the Last Tuesday Society and funded by Kickstarter. Its gallery includes classic curiosities such as hairballs, Sebastian Horsley nails from his crucifixion and drawings and archive material to do with Stephen Tennant, a collection of human remains including shrunken heads, dead babies in bottles and parts of pickled prostitutes, as well as condoms used by the Rolling Stones and tribal art, in among an art collection which spans several centuries.

The Ash Grove bus depot was built by London Buses in 1981 as part of a program to build more garages. The roof is of unusual design, carried by ten 35-ton triangular trusses supported on reinforced concrete columns, and was developed at a cost of £3.5 million. Ash Grove has also been used at various times as part of the London Transport Museum to house stored vehicles.

Rail
The area is 2 mi north-east of the City of London with frequent trains from Hackney Downs railway station to Liverpool Street. Hackney Central railway station is a London Overground station with westbound trains to Richmond and Clapham Junction via Dalston Junction, and eastbound trains to Stratford via Homerton.

Buses
London bus routes 30, 38, 55, 106, 236, 242, 253, 254, 276, 277, 394, N38, N55, N242, N253, N277 and W15 serve Hackney Central. Route N277 also serves here when the 277 route was withdrawn between Dalston and Highbury Corner and the N277 was retained.

Economy
The Narrow Way (Church Street) remains a busy shopping area, and there is a large Tesco supermarket in nearby Morning Lane (Money Lane). This international store group was founded in Hackney, from a market stall in Well Street market in 1919. A planning application for a multi-storey shopping centre (with parking beneath, and housing above) on the Hackney Tesco site was refused permission in 2010, and the future of the site remains uncertain. A former Burberry factory building is also located off Morning Lane, with a 'factory outlet' that is considered to be Hackney's most visited tourist attraction. This site is currently being redeveloped, in two phases, that will see the retention of the showroom, but add housing above.

The primary local employers are the council and the NHS at Homerton University Hospital; there are also two London Transport garages, one at the foot of the Narroway, and another about 1 mile south at Ash Grove. Between Ash Grove and London Fields there is a small industrial estate.

Education
Schools in the area include The Urswick School (formerly known as Hackney Free and Parochial Church of England Secondary School) and BSix Sixth Form College.

Pseudanthus

Pseudanthus is a genus of nine species of flowering plants in the family Picrodendraceae, and is endemic to Australia. Plants in the genus Pseudanthus are small, heath-like, monoecious shrubs with simple, leathery leaves, and flowers arranged in upper leaf axils, male flowers usually with three or six stamens and female flowers with three styles.

Description
Plants in the genus Micrantheum are heath-like, monoecious shrubs with simple, leathery leaves with thickened edges. The leaves are on a short petiole with tiny stipules at the base. The flowers are arranged in upper leaf axils with bracts at the base. Male flowers are arranged in clusters on a short peduncle, and have six stamens. Female flowers are arranged singly and have an ovary with two or three cells with two ovules per cell, and two or three styles. The fruit is a capsule containing seeds with a caruncle.

Taxonomy
The genus Pseudanthus was first formally described in 1827 by Kurt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel in Systema Vegetabilium, and the first species he described (the type species) was Pseudanthus pimeleoides.

Species list
The following is a list of species of Pseudanthus, accepted by the Australian Plant Census as of September 2023: • Pseudanthus ballingalliae Halford & R.J.F.Hend. (Qld.)

Granville Street

Granville Street is a major street in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and part of Highway 99. Granville Street is most often associated with the Granville Entertainment District and the Granville Mall. This street also cuts through residential neighbourhoods like Shaughnessy and Marpole via the Granville Street Bridge.

Location
Granville Street runs generally north–south through the centre of Vancouver, passing through several neighbourhoods and commercial areas, differing appreciably in their land value and the wealth of their residents.

Granville runs northeast–southwest:
 * through Downtown Vancouver from the waterfront area (including Waterfront station) at West Cordova Street to Robson Street
 * through a pedestrian-friendly area known as the Granville Mall with part of it formally designated as the Granville Entertainment District (ending at the Granville Street Bridge); here, numerous shops, restaurants, and the city's top dance clubs, bars and entertainment venues are located
 * over the Granville Street Bridge
 * over Granville Island (located under the bridge)

Then, Granville Street runs north–south:
 * through South Granville Rise, extending approximately from 4th Avenue to 16th Avenue, crossing West Broadway
 * through Shaughnessy (from 16th Avenue to 41st Avenue)
 * near Kerrisdale and Oakridge (Granville borders both neighbourhoods from 41st Avenue to 57th Avenue; unofficially, Kerrisdale begins at 33rd Avenue)
 * through Marpole (from 57th Avenue to 70th Avenue; 70th Avenue becomes Southwest Marine Drive west of Granville)
 * near the Fraser River, where it merges with another section of South-West Marine Drive

Finally, Granville Street ends near the Fraser River at the approximate location of 72nd Ave., then merges with Southwest Marine Drive and continues southeasterly towards the Arthur Laing Bridge that leads to Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport.

19th century
The community was known as "Gastown" (Gassy's Town) after its first citizen - Jack Deighton, known as "Gassy" Jack. "To gas" is period English slang for "to boast and to exaggerate". In 1870, the community was laid out as the "township of Granville" but everybody called it Gastown. The name Granville honours Granville Leveson-Gower, 2nd Earl Granville, who was British Secretary of State for the Colonies at the time of local settlement.

In 1886, it was incorporated as the city of Vancouver, named after Captain George Vancouver, who accompanied James Cook on his voyage to the West Coast and subsequently spent two years exploring and charting the West Coast.

20th century
Towards the middle of the twentieth century, the downtown portion of Granville Street had become a flourishing centre for entertainment, known for its cinemas (built along the "Theatre Row", from the Granville Bridge to where Granville Street intersects Robson Street), restaurants, clubs, the Vogue and Orpheum theatres, and, later, arcades, pizza parlours, pawn stores, pornography shops and strip clubs.

By the late 1990s, Granville Street suffered gradual deterioration and many movie theatres, such as "The Plaza, Caprice, Paradise, [and] Granville Centre [...] have all closed for good", writes Dmitrios Otis in his article "The Last Peep Show." In the early 2000s, the news of the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympic Games, to be hosted in Whistler, a series of gentrification projects, still ongoing as of 2006, had caused the shutdown of many more businesses that had heretofore become landmarks of the street and of the city.

21st century
Also, Otis writes that "once dominated by movie theatres, pinball arcades, and sex shops [Downtown Granville is being replaced] by nightclubs and bars, as [... it] transforms into a booze-based 'Entertainment District'." In April 2005, Capitol 6, a beloved 1920s-era movie theatre complex (built in 1921 and restored and reopened in 1977) closed its doors (Chapman). By August 2005, Movieland Arcade, located at 906 Granville Street became "the last home of authentic, 8 mm 'peep show' film booths in the world" (Otis). On July 7, 2005, the Granville Book Company, a popular and independently owned bookstore was forced to close (Tupper) due to the rising rents and regulations the city began imposing in the early 2000s in order to "clean up" the street by the 2010 Olympics and combat Vancouver's "No Fun City" image. (Note the "Fun City" red banners put up by the city on the lamp-posts in the pizza-shop photograph). Landlords have been unable to find replacement tenants for many of these closed locations; for example, the Granville Book Company site was still boarded up and vacant as of July 12, 2006.

While proponents of the Granville gentrification project in general (and the 2010 Olympics in specific) claim that the improvements made to the street will only benefit its residents, the customers frequenting the clubs and the remaining theatres and cinemas, maintain that the project is a temporary solution, since the closing down of the less "classy" businesses, and the build-up of Yaletown-style condominiums in their place, will not eliminate the unwanted pizzerias, corner-stores and pornography shops - and their patrons - but will simply displace them elsewhere (an issue reminiscent of the city's long-standing inability to solve the problems of the DTES).

Talk:Secretariat of Intelligence

Move?
This page should be moved to an English title (as per WP:UE). Should we use Intelligence Secretariat (Argentina) or something like that? —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 23:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Why not just create a redirect? This page is a work of art!. 10.000 lines of BASIC --San Marcos 11:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * He didn't mean changing the content of the article, just changing the article's title. Mariano (t/c) 11:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * The correct title should be Secretariat of Intelligence, without the (Argentina). —Aucun effort n'est trop grand 03:27, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

 * So, do we agree on the move to Secretariat of Intelligence?, should it have the (Argentina) suffix, as other countries might use the same name?. --San Marcos 19:03, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * The (Argentina) suffix is absolutely unnecessary. As Google Search clearly states, Argentina is the only country in the entire world with an agency called Secretariat of Intelligence. —Aucun effort n'est trop grand 02:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Becoming A-Class/Featured
As per the Quality Guidelines, I want this article to be a top-notch Argentine A-class, or even a Featured one. If anybody else is interested on taking on such a project, please add on here what we should modify in the article. I am in the process of adquiring the new book by Gerardo Young, 'SIDE: La Argentina Secreta' to bring new information and references to the article. --San Marcos 19:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * We're thinking the same thought. In my opinion, and as per WP:WIAFA, the article needs a lot more references, and perhaps an additional rewording and cleanup. Footnotes are of critical importance here; as you probably noticed, the main problem with espionage-related articles is that the verifiability of its content can be permanently disputed, see WP:V. By the way, the level of detail is more than acceptable (finally some good news) and the page's perfectly stable — in fact, no edit war has ever happened! Hope this helps, —Aucun effort n'est trop grand 02:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

 * In the following weeks, or when I have time I will be forking the article again into my own copy to add a bunch of information, and rewriting the troubled parts. Expect big changes soon. --San Marcos 22:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Alleged assassination plans in Paris
As with Operation Marilyn below, the story lacks citations, these claims are unsubstantiated and no mention can be found anywhere of such plans. Also, the claim that the operation failed because guns smuggled via diplomatic carriage were not freed by the Ambassador is ludicrous (as if weapons could not be obtained alternatively). I'm removing until further information is brought up.

See also notes below on Operacion Marilyn

Operacion Marilyn?
The text about an alleged Operacion Marilyn, intended to obtain information from Cuban diplomats, does not contain any reference, it has not been mentioned in any widely available book about the SIDE, and a Google / Yahoo search gave no related results at all. If somebody knows a reliable reference please include within the text. Otherwise it should be considered an unverified rumor and removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.34.11.225 (talk) 02:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

 * The reference to Marilyn is in "Los sospechosos de siempre: Historia del espionaje en la Argentina", by Jorge Bomvaiser. Chapter: "Mujeres al borde (de un ataque de SIDE)" (loosely translated: Women at the edge, of an attack of SIDE) on page 251 (second paragraph). The whole book is in Spanish (Argentine-dialect), and there are no translations available. I tried to respond to you with an answer, but you don't seem to care to register as a user to take full advantage of talk/discussion. (See my Talk page), I already answered this. You are free to add the references. --San Marcos (talk) 10:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm removing this subsection. I found the book cited above (I'm argentine native). The author does not substantiate the claims and lacks credentials.
 * Removal was reverted pending consensus here apparently. I would posit that sections claiming intelligence operations without citations and completely unverifiable information have no merit staying on any page on Wikipedia, but will abide and make no further effort to delete until this is seconded. Consider also that the initial contributor proposed adding sources fifteen years ago to no avail
 * Created wiki account, comments about removal above are mine. Epavese (talk) 21:56, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

GA reassessment
After reading through this article, I am delisting it for the following reasons:
 * Refs #1, 8, and 22 are dead links.
 * These sections are unreferenced: Subjects of interest, facilities, recruitment, associates, culture, numbers, nearly everything in the Historical Operations section.
 * Any citation needed tags need to be fixed.

The article has a lot of info, which is good. It just needs to be cited. When this is fixed it can be renominated at GAN. Wizardman 18:45, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Plagiarism
The entire (or almost entire) article appears verbatim and without attibution, including even some spelling and grammar errors that I just corrected, in Heinz Duthel's book |Global Secret and Intelligence Services I, Hidden Systems that deliver Unforgettable Customer Service, ISBN 9783738607710, pages 194 ff, also |available on Google books. The book was first published in 2006.

There are three possibilities here: (a) the entire Wikipedia article has been plagiarised from the book, (b) the book has been plagiarised from the Wikipedia article or (c) Heinz Duthel is the sole author of both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2149:A000:8200:216:76FF:FE91:2064 (talk) 17:42, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

I have flagged the article as potential copy/paste. However, checking pre-2006 versions of the Wikipedia article, I am inclined to believe that alternative (b) above is the case. The Wikipedia article grew organically, while the book seems to be a snapshot of Wikipedia at some point in 2005. For example, the edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Secretariat_of_Intelligence&type=revision&diff=21953951&oldid=21953101 split Operation Ciprés into a separate section and added a lot of text to it. The book includes a later version of this section. Given that the book was first published in 2006, if would have been impossible for the Wikipedia contributors to plagiarise it in 2005. Nevertheless, I'm leaving the copy/paste flag in place until the issue has been thoroughly discussed. 2A02:2149:A000:8200:216:76FF:FE91:2064 (talk) 18:27, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

There has been no discussion on the subject, but an article on heise.de (in German, machine translation here) seems to settle the issue: Heinz Duthel makes a living by selling the content of third-party websites such as Wikipedia, as books on Amazon. According to the same source (in German, machine translation here), this practice is widespread and Heinz Duthel is only one of many such fraudsters. I am removing the {copypaste} banner from the article. Someone at the Wikimedia Foundation legal department needs to go after Amazon and I smell there a very good source of funding for Wikipedia. 2A02:2149:A000:8200:216:76FF:FE91:2064 (talk) 21:31, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

USS Selfridge (DD-357)

The second USS Selfridge (DD-357) was a Porter-class destroyer in the United States Navy. She was named for Rear Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge (1804–1902) and his son, Thomas O. Selfridge Jr. (1836–1924).

Selfridge was laid down by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation at Camden in New Jersey on 18 December 1933, launched on 18 April 1936 and commissioned at Philadelphia on 25 November 1936.

Shakedown
Selfridge conducted her shakedown cruise in the Mediterranean in January and February 1937 and returned to the east coast, via the Caribbean, in March. From April into August, she underwent post-shakedown overhaul at, and conducted training exercises out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In September, Presidential escort duties took her to Poughkeepsie, New York; and, in October, she proceeded to Norfolk, Virginia, whence she got underway for the Panama Canal Zone and duty with the Battle Force in the Pacific. Diverted back to Norfolk for another Presidential escort mission in early November, she got underway again for the west coast on 9 December 1937.

Pearl Harbor
Selfridge transited the Panama Canal and joined the Battle Force as flagship of Destroyer Squadron (Des-Ron) 4 on 13 December 1937 and reached San Diego, California on the 22nd. Except for fleet problems and exercises, she remained in the southern California area for the next two years. In 1940, she was reassigned to Pearl Harbor, whence she operated until after the Japanese attack on 7 December 1941. That day, Selfridge, having just completed an escort run from Palmyra Island, was moored in berth X-9. Within five minutes of the start of the bombing, Selfridge's guns were firing on the Japanese planes. By 1300, manned by a mixed crew from various ships, she was underway and soon thereafter joined other ships in patrolling off Oahu.

During the remainder of the month, Selfridge patrolled the Hawaiian area and, screening Saratoga, participated in the abortive attempt to reinforce Wake Island. In January 1942, she continued operations in the Saratoga group until that carrier was torpedoed some 500 miles southwest of Oahu on the 11th. Selfridge then screened the carrier back to Pearl Harbor. Exercises and patrols in the Hawaiian area followed until 20 January when she assumed escort duty for a merchant ship on a Canton Island run. After arriving at Canton on the 27th, she patrolled off the island until the merchant ship completed offloading, then started back to Hawaii. En route, on the 30th, Selfridge depth charged and may have damaged an enemy submarine.

Guadalcanal
Selfridge returned to Pearl Harbor on 6 February 1942 and was under way again on the 9th to escort Saratoga to Bremerton, Washington for permanent repairs. In mid-March, she returned to Hawaii in the screen of a convoy and, by the end of the month, had escorted more supplies to Canton. In April, she carried Marine Corps personnel and mail to Palmyra and Christmas islands, and then proceeded to Bora Bora in the Society Islands, to rendezvous with and escort convoys carrying reinforcements to the Samoan and Tonga groups. On 21 May 1942, she departed the latter group for the New Hebrides and Australia; where, by the end of the month, she had commenced coastal escort work. A unit of TF 44, she remained in Australian waters into July; then, with others of the force, proceeded to the Fiji Islands to rehearse for Operation Watchtower, the assault and occupation of Guadalcanal and Tulagi.

Soon after 0120 on 7 August 1942, TF 44, now designated TG 62.6, the screening group for the transports, arrived in the Guadalcanal area. At 0620, Selfridge opened fire on a small gasoline carrier entering Tulagi harbor. A few hours later, the transports moved in toward the beaches. At 1320, the Japanese sent in a high level bombing attack. Shortly thereafter, they followed that strike with a dive bomber attack. On the 8th, Selfridge continued to screen the transports and, after a noon bombing attack, picked up two Japanese airmen. On the morning of the 9th, she assisted survivors of the Battle of Savo Island and, with Ellet, scuttled the badly-damaged Australian cruiser, Canberra; then, toward evening, departed the area to escort the transports to Noumea.

For the remainder of the month, the Australian group (TF 44) screened the carriers of the air support group. On 31 August 1942, the ships headed back to Brisbane; and, for the next nine months, Selfridge continued to operate with that force in the Coral Sea to prevent a Japanese landing at Port Moresby and to cover Allied shipping to the Papuan Peninsula.

Battle of Vella Lavella
In May 1943, Selfridge was reassigned to the 3rd Fleet. On the 12th, she arrived at Nouméa. Through the summer, she operated with cruisers of TF 36, later TF 37, and participated in exercises with TF's 38, 39, and 34. In late September, as a unit of the 3d Fleet's amphibious force, she escorted an LST convoy to Vella Lavella, then commenced nighttime patrols in the Solomon Islands up “the Slot” to intercept Japanese shipping.

On the night of 6 October 1943, Selfridge, O'Bannon, and Chevalier intercepted an enemy force of six destroyers, three destroyer transports, and smaller armed craft some 12 miles off Marquana Bay as it attempted to evacuate land forces from Vella Lavella. In the ensuing Battle of Vella Lavella, Chevalier was torpedoed and damaged beyond repair. She was sunk on the 7th by an American torpedo. Selfridge and O'Bannon were both heavily damaged; Selfridge by an enemy torpedo, O'Bannon by enemy action compounded by collision with Chevalier just after the latter had gone dead in the water. Personnel casualties on board Selfridge amounted to 13 killed, 11 wounded, and 36 missing.

1944
Temporary repairs to Selfridge were made at Purvis Bay and at Nouméa. Permanent repairs, including the installation of a new bow and a complete new gun armament, were made at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard; and, after refresher training out of San Diego, she returned to Pearl Harbor on 10 May 1944 in time to join the forces staging for the invasion of the Marianas Islands. Initially assigned to TG 50.11, she joined TF 58, the fast carrier force, at Majuro in early June; and, on the 11th, screened Bunker Hill as sweeps were conducted over Guam. On the 13th, she participated in a shore bombardment of Saipan to cover minesweeping operations off that target island; then shifted to night fire. On the 14th, she joined the fire support unit; and, on the 15th, screened the transport area as the assault troops landed on Saipan. From then to the 17th, she rotated between daytime screening activities and nighttime harassment duty. On the latter date, word of a Japanese force moving in from the Philippines reached the assault force, and Selfridge rejoined TF 58 and took station as the linking vessel between TG's 58.7 and 58.3. On the 19th, the Battle of the Philippine Sea raged; but none of the enemy's aircraft came within range of Selfridge's guns. On the 20th and 21st, the Japanese proceeded westward. On the 24th, Selfridge rejoined the transport screen off Saipan; and, on the 26th, resumed fire support duties.

Selfridge departed Saipan on 11 July 1944; and, screening the transports, arrived at Eniwetok on the 15th. Three days later, she was underway again to return to the Marianas with reinforcements for the Guam assault. She arrived off Agat on the 22d, the day after the initial assault and, for the next three weeks, provided screening and fire support services and conducted anti-boat and barge patrols. On 10 August, she sailed for Eniwetok, whence, she returned to Pearl Harbor. On 21 August, she received orders back to the Atlantic.

1945
Transiting the Panama Canal on 7 September 1944, Selfridge proceeded to New York for an abbreviated overhaul after which she joined TF 65; and, serving as flagship, commenced transatlantic escort duty for convoys plying between the east coast and Tunisia. On 23 April 1945 she was in Casco Bay, Maine when USS Eagle 56 (PE-56) exploded. After assisting in rescuing survivors, she dropped nine depth charges on a suspected U-boat. A Court of Inquiry initially attributed the loss of Eagle 56 to a boiler explosion, but in 2001 the cause was revised to a torpedo from GS U-853. Continuing escort duty until after the fall of Germany in May 1945, she completed her last run at New York on 7 June. Upkeep and training exercises in the Caribbean and off the Maine coast took her through August; and, on 15 September, she returned to New York to prepare for inactivation.

On 15 October 1945, Selfridge was decommissioned, struck from the Navy list on 1 November 1945 and scrapped in October 1947.

She earned four battle stars during World War II.

I don't know.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TaigaBridge (talk • contribs) 04:33, September 25, 2006 (UTC)
 * She wasn't in the film, she was in the Broadway play. --rogerd 11:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Wasn't her character name in the Onedin Line Leonora Biddulph? Britmax 02:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

No everyone else seems to think Leonora was Kate Nelligan. Funny how my memory plays tricks on me! Britmax 11:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Citizenships
I don't know anything about what happens when people become citizens of another country so I'm naturally curious as well as raising a potential point. Did Jane have to give up her British citizenship to become an American citizen or is she allowed to be both simultaniously? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captainbeecher (talk • contribs) 18:07, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * She's allowed to be both. The US allows dual citizenship.71.34.106.57 (talk) 20:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Missing Info
Jane is in a movie called Yesterday's Children that is not listed here, neither the film is listed on wikipedia IMDB Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.43.98.162 (talk) 23:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Huh?
According to NEWSMEAT, Jane Seymour gave $2000 in 2004 to Rep. Dan Burton, 5th District of Indiana (R). Why in the world would she do that? I mean, because she lives in California, doesn't she? What interest does she have in the 5th District Race? I find it incredibly bizzare! (Of course, she has every right to do so, it's just, What the?!)199.8.26.10 (talk) 03:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Jane Seymour and the #metoo movement
I think Jane is asking everyone to show "restraint".

The majority of moviegoers should understand "actors" are artists.

When actors can no longer express the human condition "In Person", "Great Stage" or on the "Big Screen".

Humanity loses

Women are in control now!!

I believe that the greatest of all surprises awaits. jontopia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jontopia (talk • contribs) 03:03, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Nationality in lede
Per WP:BLPLEAD we most commonly want to mention the subject's nationality or citizenship in the lede sentence. That citizenship for Seymour is unequivocally and thoroughly American by her 4 decades of residence, Hollywood career, and ceremony. She is English by ethnicity and heritage, but that is minimally relevant to this case, because of the way Wikipedia needs us to describe people. I would also move to modify the various categories referring to "English..." actress, etc. unless we intend them to refer to her ethnicity per WP:EGRS. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 00:24, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

 * I have not seen a valid defense of the status quo, nor have I seen any further objections here at the talk page. So I am prepared to implement the change in order to conform with Wikipedia MOS:BIO guideline. However, I will allow a few more days for thorough discussion and more opinions. Pinging a few more involved editors:

2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 05:03, 1 June 2018 (UTC) Has she relinquished her British nationality? ‑ ‑ Gareth Griffith‑Jones The Welsh Buzzard ‑ ‑ 12:29, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I have made a revision which must satisfy everyone. It also illustrates her age at the date of her US naturalisation. Trust the matter is now closed. ‑ ‑ Gareth Griffith‑Jones The Welsh Buzzard ‑ ‑ 08:59, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The phrasing is slightly unusual, but I suppose hers is an unusual situation worthy of such a compromise. But I would say that there remains the issue of the categories. Are they intended to continue indicating her ethnicity rather than nationality? I believe that would be unusual for most of them. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 12:02, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you.
 * The only source I could readily find was Pictures that Talk. It says she has done so. It is run by two guys with arguably good credentials, but not high on my WP:RS-scale. FWIW, zero sources say she retained citizenship. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 13:45, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

OBE
The article states that Seymour is an OBE. But is that accurate now? Don’t you loose an OBE if you disassociate yourself from Britain (e.g. if you become a naturalized citizen of another sovereign nation)? Carissimi (talk) 23:39, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 17 January 2023

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian (talk) 17:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

– There are two English Wikipedia entries for an actress named "Jane Seymour", therefore main title header "Jane Seymour (actress)" represents incomplete disambiguation and should redirect to Jane Seymour (disambiguation). As far as national identity is concerned, the actress born in 1951 is English, but has become an American citizen and the one born in 1893 was Canadian, but had lived most of her life in the U.S. and only acted in the U.S. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:50, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Jane Seymour (actress) → Jane Seymour (actress, born 1951)
 * Jane Seymour (Canadian actress) → Jane Seymour (actress, born 1893)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Oppose – I'm going to invoke the final section exception in WP:INCDAB, and say that the British actress is certainly the "primary subtopic" here. That article already has a hatnote to the Canadian actress, so really there is no issue here. IOW, the proposed solution is substantially worse for our readership than the current situation. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:22, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * However, I would create both of the suggested titles as redirects if this requested move does not happen. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:38, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I also prefer to invoke that exception in WP:INCDAB, and agree that the one born in 1951 should be the "primary subtopic", especially when that article gets way more page views than for the one born in 1893.|Jane_Seymour_(Canadian_actress) It also does not help that the article for the one born in 1893 currently only consists of one paragraph, a filmography table only listing three entries, and only one citation in the "references" section -- hardly an indication of relative long-term significance when compared to the current article for the one born in 1951, with a four-paragraph lead section; "Early life", "Acting career", "Writing and fashion careers", and "Awards" sections; the filmography split to a List of Jane Seymour performances sub-page, and at least 39 citations. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose per IJBall and Zzyzx11 above. In terms of pageviews and long-term significance, the threshold for incomplete disambiguation is certainly met here. Lennart97 (talk) 17:30, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

SPARCstation 5

SPARCstation 5 or SS5 (code-named Aurora) is a workstation introduced by Sun Microsystems in March 1994. It is based on the sun4m architecture, and is enclosed in a pizza-box chassis. Sun also offered a SPARCserver 5 without a framebuffer. A simplified, cheaper version of the SS5 was released in February 1995 as the SPARCstation 4. Sun also marketed these same machines under the "Netra" brand, without framebuffers or keyboards and preconfigured with all the requisite software to be used as web servers. An estimated 400,000+ SPARCstation 5s were sold.

Release price
Sun rolled out the SPARCstation 5 for US$3995 1994.

CPU support
The SPARCstation 5 may incorporate one of the following processors: 70, 85, or 110 MHz Sun Microsystems microSPARC-II, or a 170 MHz Fujitsu Microelectronics, Inc. (FMI) TurboSPARC. Fujitsu also provided a 160 MHz TurboSPARC CPU Upgrade Kit for upgrading 70, 85 and 110 MHz microSPARC-II models. The SPARCstation 5 has no MBus and thus is limited to use as a single-processor machine.

Memory
The SPARCstation 5 has eight DSIMM slots for memory expansion. Slots can be filled individually with either 8 MB or 32 MB modules giving a maximum of 256 MB memory. The SPARCstation 4 uses the same memory.

Disk drives
The SPARCstation 5 can hold two internal 80-pin SCA, single-ended, fast-narrow SCSI drives, a SCSI CD-ROM drive and a floppy. It also supports external SCSI devices. There is no IDE/ATAPI support.

Network support
The SPARCstation 5 comes with an on-board AMD Lance ethernet chipset providing 10BASE-T networking as standard and 10BASE2 and 10BASE5 via an AUI transceiver. A 10/100 Mbit/s hme "Happy Meal" NIC can be added for faster connections. The OpenBoot ROM is able to boot from network, using RARP and TFTP. Like all other SPARCstation systems, the SS5 holds system information such as MAC address and serial number in NVRAM. If the battery on this chip dies, then the system will not be able to boot until the NVRAM is reprogrammed.

Expansion / AFX
The SPARCstation 5 has three SBus expansion slots which are typical of Sun computer equipment of this era. The third of these shares its expansion backplate and physical space with a special AFX connector which was unique to the SPARCstation 5. Only one card was released for this slot, known as the S24 or TCX. This was a framebuffer that allowed the use of 24-bit colour graphics instead of the 8-bit colour of the SBus CG6 card, also known as the LEGO (Low End Graphics Option).

SPARCstation 4
The SPARCstation 4 (code-named Perigee) was introduced in February 1995 to provide a lower price point than the SPARCstation 5 and replace the SPARCclassic. Although offered with the same 70, 85, or 110 MHz microSPARC-II processor as the SPARCstation 5, it has only one SBus expansion slot instead of three, a single 1.05 GB hard drive, and maximum memory capacity of 160 MB instead of 256 MB (five DSIMM slots). Instead of the built-in audio of the SPARCstation 5, the SPARCstation 4 requires an optional module, installed in its own dedicated slot. The system includes a built-in 8-bit color pixel-accelerated graphics adapter (TCX) capable of 1152x900 (or 1280x1024 with an optional 1 MB VSIMM), and a new lower-cost 17" monitor was introduced as an option. There is no AFX graphics port.

The SPARCstation 4 has a standard AUI Ethernet connector, unlike the SPARCstation 5 which requires a special cable to mate with a non-standard connector.

SPARC Xterminal 1
Sun used the same enclosure as the SPARCstation 4 for the SPARC Xterminal 1, which was, as the name implies, marketed as an X terminal, with no local storage. Unlike the earlier SPARCclassic X, it did not use the same motherboard as the workstation it was derived from, instead using a lower-powered 50 MHz microSPARC processor and expansion from its base memory of 8 MB to 128 MB rather than 160 MB (four DSIMM slots).

Rather than running Solaris, the SPARC Xterminal 1 and SPARCclassic X loaded and ran special software over the network.

Sun offered an upgrade kit to a full workstation that included a swap to a SPARCstation 4 motherboard, a hard drive and additional memory.

Operating systems
The following operating systems will run on a SPARCstation 5:
 * SunOS 4.1.3_U1B onwards
 * Solaris 2.3 Edition II to Solaris 9
 * Linux - Most distributions of Linux have compatibility issues with TurboSPARC variants
 * MirBSD/sparc
 * NetBSD/sparc
 * OpenBSD/sparc
 * NeXTSTEP - TurboSPARC variants not supported
 * OPENSTEP/Mach - TurboSPARC variants not supported
