Talk:Kiteboarding

Origin of Kitesurfing
I would argue that kitesurfing is a combination wakeboarding and paragliding. The other sports (skateboarding, surfing) are ancestors of wakeboarding (see Extreme Sports), so you are basically repeating them. Tavernsenses (talk) 13:21, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Reorganization of wiki pages on Kitesurfing, ], Landboarding, Kiteskating, Snowkiting, etc.
Currently, the wiki Kiteboarding page describes Kiteboarding as a land-based sport alternatively named Kite Landboarding. ("Kite Landboarding" is set up as a wiki referral link to the current wiki "Kiteboarding" page). Actually, AFAICT, the sport generally referred to in the real world as "Kiteboarding" is a water-based sport which has Kitesurfing an alternative name, and which has land-based and snow-based offshoots. A number of websites, publications, and organizations exist which support this interpretation of what Kiteboarding is and is not (see http://www.kiteboardingmag.com/index.jsp, http://www.ikointl.com/index1.php, http://www.ikiteboarding.com/, http://www.ikiteboarding.com/kiteboarding/articles/what-is-kiteboarding.aspx, etc.)

Besides water-based and land-based versions of Kiteboarding, a snow-based version exists which is referred to as "Kite Snowboarding" or, as "Snow Kiteboarding", or as "Snowkiting". A wiki Snowkiting page currently exists.

It appears to me that page-naming on this within wiki is out of sync with nomenclature usage in the real world. Barring strong opposition, I intend sometime in the near future to do the following in an attempt to correct this situation:

 * Move the current wiki "Kiteboarding" page to "Kite Landboarding".
 * Make a referral link from "Landboarding" to "Kite Landboarding"
 * Make a referral link from "Kiteskating" to "Kite Landboarding"
 * Make a referral link from "Kiteboarding" to "Kitesurfing"
 * Make a referral link from "Kite Snowboarding" to "Snowkiting"
 * Make a referral link from "Snow Kiteboarding" to "Snowkiting"
 * Do some minor edits on the "Kitesurfing", "Kite Landboarding", and "Snowkiting" pages to provide cross-referrals where needed.

Coomments? Outraged objections? Alternative suggestions? In hopes of having a single-pronged discussion on this, I ask that the discussion take place on the current Talk:Kiteboarding page.

History of kitesurfing
History of kitesurfing - perhaps someone could write up a brief history of the sport from Cory Roeseler's original rigid-fram 'KiteSki' (sp?) to the modern foil kites and international sport we know today...

Associations - Also, I'm from Western Australia so I only know about AKSA/WAKSA and the IKO, but perhaps somebody else could link other kitesurfing associations?

Nomenclature: Kitesurfing vs. Kiteboarding
Internationally, Kiteboarding is governed by the International Sailing Federation and has been recognized as such by the International Olympic Committee, which I believe is the highest instance regarding such matters. The offical name there is "Kiteboarding" so I would suggest to use the term Kiteboarding instead of Kitesurfing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mschwendtner (talk • contribs) 09:59, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

A few days ago, User:Tfmajor revised a Kiteboarding wikilink on the Boracay page to read Kitesurfing instead. Noting that Wiki has sepaprate pages for Kiteboarding and Kitesurfing, I revised that further to mention both names for the sport.

I am not a KiteBoarding/KiteSurfing person, and I find it confusing to have two names for what is apparently the same sport and to have separate wiki pages for each of the two names. Could these two wiki pages be combined, with the page being located at whichever is the most generally-accepted name for the sport and the link for the alternative name made a redirect link?

Note: This section was posted to talk:Tfmajor, talk:Kitesurfing and talk:Kiteboarding -- Boracay Bill 23:59, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

The two major english language magazines, SBC Kiteboard and Kite Boarding made a deliberate decision in the late 90's to refer to the sport as kiteboarding. It was thought at the time that the term kiteboarding better described the various styles of riding and meshed more closely with the naming of the other action sports of Skateboarding, Wakeboarding, and Snowboarding. Kitesurfing is used primarily in the UK to describe the sport, and has it's roots in windsurfing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.127.244.227 (talk) 12:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

All brands & magazines are referencing to this sport as "Kiteboarding". Why wikipedia still sticks to old name? VladGenie (talk) 08:36, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Mad Sport
I just saw this sport for the first time down on Sandymount strand two weeks ago. Six guys were doing it and it looked out of this world! 193.1.172.163 22:10, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Proposal to rename kitesurfing article to kiteboarding
Hi there,

Looks like there is some confusion about terms for this sport - kiteboarding vs. kitesurfing. Here are my comments:

"Kitesurfing" refers most specifically to riding waves (surfing) on a board and using a kite. This is only a small but growing part of the sport and people don't really differentiate it when they talk about it. "Kiteboarding" refers to riding on a board with a kite, mainly on flat or choppy water. The best reference would be that all the main magazines ("Kiteboarding" by World Publications and "SBC Kiteboard" by SBC Media) use the simple "kiteboarding" terminology. I believe there has actually been editorial written in one of these magazines about this specific topic of the correct name for the sport. Might be worth having someone look into.

---

I agree with you. This page should be renamed to Kiteboarding, it is the correct name for this sport. Kitesurfing is only a part of Kiteboarding sport, meaning techniques of wave surfing with kite. IKO is about kiteboarding, all big gear producers use term kiteboarding. VladGenie (talk) 02:36, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

---

I agree as well. as mentioned above, internationally, Kiteboarding is governed by the International Sailing Federation and has been recognized as such by the International Olympic Committee, which I believe is the highest instance regarding such matters. The offical name there is "Kiteboarding" so I would suggest to use the term Kiteboarding instead of Kitesurfing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mschwendtner (talk • contribs) 10:00, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Retain name. Kitesurfing is the term in common usage in Australia now both within the sport and by the general public so I think the article name should be retained. The usage of the term "kiteboarding" as a synonym is mentioned early in the article.  Peter Campbell 12:22, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Categories
I've added the categories Extreme sports, as well as water and air sports as all three seem obvious after watching some people doing this in Rio. Pejorative.majeure 22:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Parasurfing
Parasurfing redirects to Kiteboarding. If individuals are using stylized parachutes and not kites, shouldn't that be included as an alternative name, esp. if the redirect is already there? Nowhere in the article is the word "parasurfing" mentioned, nor is even a parachute included as part of the equipment that can be used. Pejorative.majeure 22:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

 * You might consider the type of kite used because some are similar in construction to a parafoil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitesurfing#Foil_kites), other are not. To say they are the same is a horrible over generalisation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.7.141.137 (talk) 09:22, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

List of kitesurfing locations
The list is getting rather long for the already long main article. I suggest we move it to a stand-alone list article linked from here. Dhaluza 12:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree. A separate article would work for this. Peter Campbell 00:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

NOTE - The Category:Kitesurfing locations I recently created to catalogue locations has been listed for deletion. You can vote or comment on this here. This means the newly created Kitesurfing locations article may also get deleted, unless editors vote to keep it. Peter Campbell 07:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Content requiring reworking
The following content has been removed from the article pending reworking. The content is copied from a website and much of it duplicates what is already in the article. In addition, peacock terms are included. Peter Campbell 22:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Reasons for kite surfing
Kite surfing as one of the fastest and most recent growing extreme water sport in the world is becoming safer due to improvements in kite design, safety release systems and training. Kite surfing methods are being constantly enhanced and so with the gear and equipment which are developed continuously seeing that this sport continues to gain popularity. There are a variety of reasons why people go kite surfing. Below is a list why increasing numbers of individual are getting engrossed in this sport :
 * Wind surfing, Wakeboarding, Surfing and Kite flying all rolled into one. It’s like doing various kinds of outdoor activities at one time!
 * Kite Surfing is an exciting outdoor activity. The sky is the limit so to speak!
 * It can be done essentially on available open large bodies of water and dependable steady winds. It can be both practiced along the shores and on large lakes and rivers likewise.
 * Learning how to kitesurf is easier and takes less time than learning the basics of Wind Surfing.
 * Major seaside cities offer courses on Kite Surfing as it continuously attract aspiring participants. There are also clubs for all kite surfers. Likewise, many tropical destinations are following suit.
 * People go Kite Surfing but for strong person with the right dedication this water sport can prove to be a fun and an incredibly exciting sport.

How-to and 2nd person
The article contains a lot of how-to content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. Also, there are a lot of 2nd person "you" references, which are also inappropriate. Recent edits have made this problem worse, instead of better. Dhaluza 04:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Someone needs to bite the bullet and shift the "howto" content to Wikibooks. The current form of section of the article will encourage more of the same. Peter Campbell 11:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I have made a start on removing the "you" references in the article. When this has been done, will look into moving the how-to sections out and clearing up the tag. Richard Thompson (Talk! | Contribs) 08:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Dangers and safety
Hallo Peter, with my contribution I would like to enlarge the area of the 2-linekites (beginnerkites) and point out to a security breach not considered by the supplier of a 2-linekites: A 2-linekite which can modify into a 4-linekite, has 3 attachment points on each kitetip. The attachment points are not visually different. Own tests have shown that the kite, if the attachment is different on each kitetip, cannot be controlled as expected. Because the range of the kitetips, which can be changed any time, a warning sign should be added at the kite or in the instructions to avoid accidents. The pilot will check the attachment before kiting and can be sure that the kite flies well. I like to add even further details to the flight behaviour of a dejusted kite. My question now, do I have to start a new report or may I add my experiences into the above one? Anja —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kiteroulette (talk • contribs).

 * Anja/Kiteroulette, what you may be valid, but Wikipedia has a policy of no original research WP:NOR so including the type of content you mention is not appropriate in this article or elsewhere. All content added should include and external reference and/or citation to ensure it is worthy of inclusion.  You could try posting your content on a kiteboarding community forum.  Peter Campbell 00:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Better yet post it on my "how-to" Wiki over at http://www.how2kitesurf.homeip.net - Its looking for content!

Hallo Peter, may I write following: A 2-linekite, which is convertible into a 4-linekite, has 3 attachment points in the range of the kite tips. The attachment points are not visually different. A different combination of the attachment causes a uncontrollable flightbehaviour.

'cause I have made the experience, I do have the copyright. Till now, the bad flightbehaviours of a dejusted kite were not published. With my contribution I would like to make use of my right and publish these now.

 * Kiteroulette, content added to Wikipedia requires an appropriate citation. Original research is not permitted.  Please check your content meets this criteria.  If it does, it can be added.  Peter Campbell 09:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

When will you publish my article? Do I have to publish first the technical report of an engineering office? Do I have to send it via e-mail. The technical report states the problem with a 2-linekite. Maybe I have to create a homepage which show this technical report? I really don't know. Please give me some advice. Anja —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiteroulette (talk • contribs) 16:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

The board leash is a dangerous piece of equipment. I would suggest to remove it from the list of equipment items. It is not important and in fact dangerous to use a board leash and removing it from this page will contribute to the safety of the sport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.246.125 (talk) 22:41, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

External link - xKiting.com, please comment on inclusion
The following external link has been added (by IP address edits and User: SurfboYbe and removed several times from the article:

 * xkiting.com - Kiteboarding Tools!

It appears to be semi-commercial to me - at least as a directory of sellers.

Opinions on whether this is worthy of inclusion please (e.g. support, oppose):

 * The site does seem commercial, although includes information on kites. I would oppose the inclusion of this link - Richard Thompson 09:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Commercial sites are sites different from xkiting.com. Do you see any money-making involved in xkiting.com? Nobody is earning money or making money with it. The site is made for information about kiteboarding products. Does return some news, video's,... and many more tools in the future. Commerce comprises the trading of something of economic value, this is not the case with xkiting. Xkiting gives information. Support..

 * Oppose. The content is very light, and there is a commercial directory as part of the site. I think some relevant policy links are WP:NOT and WP:NOT (advertising). Peter Campbell 22:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The information on the site is limited, seems to me to be a start up website looking to push visitors their way. Although the site may not be directly commercial, the link inclusion would seem to be a soapbox.  If the content of the site improves there may be good reason for it to be included in the article, but at this time my opinion of inclusion is still the same. - Richard Thompson 10:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Here is another revelant policy reference: WP:EL External link guidelines  --Peter Campbell 03:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Exclude I had the same reservations that this was a semi-commercial site primarily aimed at product info, not kiteboarding info. Dhaluza 10:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You should really take a look at what commerial sites are. Dhaluza here above says it's product info, well what is commercial at that? Do you see a 'buy here' button? Do you see (google) advertising on the site? So I'll repeat, there's no money making involved in this site. It's made for information only (and other tools). People here are working hard in their free time to make a site like this for the kiteboarders, and you all just support it like this, very nice. Commercial says business, xkiting is not a business. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SurfboYbe (talk • contribs).

 * Wikipedia is not about support for your site. As your site stands, with little content, there is no usefulness for it to be included as a link.  If the site improves its content then there may be good reason to include it.  If you want to increase awearness and get more content, from users, for your site I would suggest using kitesurfing forums to create interest.  You will need to prove to people that your site has enough useful information on the topic if you want them to vote to keep your link.  Peter makes mention of WP:NOT which is more where your site falls at this time. - Richard Thompson 11:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

This is clearly a promotional and marketing service site, which I think makes it unsuitable for Wikipedia.  Not detracting from your good efforts in creating this, it is just not encyclopaedic.

Board Grabs

I have created a diagram showing board grabs and the different names for each grab, shown above. The image is SVG and I release it for anyone to make use of/change to make it better/informative. How do people feel about inclusion in the article? 17:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

--I see no harm once this image is used... I have personally reviewed and tried as what is shown on your diagram. Reader contributor 06:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

 * With no further disagreement I will include this in the article at some point to day. I am going to create a new section under techniques called Board Grabs.  Although in the future it may be advisable to create a subcategory tricks and then include information on board grabs, kite loops and unhooked tricks etc.  09:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Information has now been added to the main article, any problems please discus/let me know - 15:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Links - Other non Commercial
The other non commercial links needs to be addressed, I feel. There are now a lot of links that I feel would be better suited on the Kitesurfing locations article rather than the main article. Any comments? Richard Thompson (Talk! | Contribs) 07:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

External link to www.kiteboardingreview.com
A link to http://www.kiteboardingreview.com/ has recently been re-added twice. While this site is notionally non-commercial I note that one manufacturer has provided a prize for a competition on the site and reviews for their kites figure prominently. I don't think there is much significant content on the site, and there are numerous commercial links on it. Can editors please indicate whether they support or oppose inclusion of this external link? Peter Campbell 23:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I support the inclusion of the site http://www.kiteboardingreview.com/. Firstly, content within the site is meaningful and relevant to kitesurfing, however, not suitable for inclusion in the article, such as reviews and interviews. Therefore it should be included, as recommended by the Wikipedia External Links reference. I have been searching the internet for kite reviews for months and this site is the best at this point in time. I do not believe this site is commercial in nature. The fact that 'featured kite' positions have been offered in exchange for prizes should not be viewed as 'commercial' since no profits are made by the website.

Additional section needed "Kiteboarding styles"
Different styles of kiteboarding are developed. I think they difference is necessary to understand for everyone, who is interested in kiteboarding. They are also important to understand before buying new equipment, which is one of the most basic question with all newcomers to sport.

 * Freeride. Most of riders are starting from this style — just riding back and forth. All locations and equipment are good for this style. Twintip boards and kites with best relaunch and widest wind range are used most.
 * Wave-riding. As name suggests, spots with wave break are required to do wave riding. Most of riders use directional boards (with straps or strapless) with bow/delta kites. Basic move is to make carving turns on top and bottom of the wave. Kite pull is used less, since power of wave is enough to surf it. Many surfers prefer this style, since it resembles Tow-in surfing. Some riders do it unhooked after reaching the wave to minimize distance to Surfing.
 * Freestyle/Old-school. This style usually means high jumps hooked-in with rotations, grabs and board-offs. All types of kites and boards are used, as all types of spots.
 * Newschool/Wake-style. Crossover from Wakeboarding, newschool riders perform unhooked tricks and handlepasses. Flat water is perfect for this style, use of big twintip boards with high rocker and wake booties is very common. Most technically difficult style, usually practiced by young riders.
 * Kiteloops/Megaloops. Rides of this style like to jump high and then perform kiteloop while in the air. Kiteloops allows riders to generate enormous amount of pull and speed. Kiteloop is called megaloop, when it's performed with kite as low as rider itself. Ruben Lenten is most popular rider of this style. Most of kiteloop kiters do it on short lines and small kites. C-kites and twintip boards are most common here.

These styles are buried in Terminology right now and can't be extracted from there. They are important, since wakeboarder or surfer could start kiteboarding because he understands, that we could do almost the same things with kiteboarding.

VladGenie (talk) 09:08, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * VladGenie, good idea. I agree some more information on styles would be good to include.

 * My suggestions are:

 * * Wave riding - Riding big surf with a directional board
 * * Freestyle - Anything goes. This style also used for competitive events and is free-format and "go anywhere".  Involves technically using the board and the kite to get height enabling the kiter to do big jumps, rotations, board offs and other tricks.
 * * Freeride - Freeride is anything that you want it to be and the most popular aspect of the sport. Most boards sold today are designed for freeride. It’s about having fun and learning new techniques.
 * * Wakestyle - Tricks and aerials, using a wake-style board with bindings. May also include tricks and jumps involving ramps.
 * * Course racing - Events - like a yacht race along a course, involving both speed and tactics.
 * * Speed - Speed events and records, often at special locations. A special directional board is used that longer that a twin-tip and has much bigger fins.
 * * Downwinders - Going long distances downwind; less edging required. A subset of Freeride.
 * * Jumping - Getting air; or with kiteloops, big air. Also includes various aerial tricks.   A subset of Freestyle riding.
 * * Wakeskate - Similar to wakestyle but with a wakeskate board
 * * Kite Cross - Racing style that is a crossover discipline between the various kiteboarding styles. It is designed to bring the action close to the beach and right in front of the crowds and media with an easy to understand KO elimination system.  Courses are generally based around downwind or figure-eight slalom courses.

 * Reference: http://kitesurfing-handbook.peterskiteboarding.com/kitesurfing-styles

 * We could work on refining/combining these lists. What is the source of the content you suggest?
 * Peter Campbell 11:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Peter, I've written this text myself. I know about No_original_research policy, but can we find "peer-reviewed journals; books published by university presses; university-level textbooks; magazines, journals, and books published by respected publishing houses; and mainstream newspapers" about kiteboarding styles? Maybe some magazines have done review of styles, we can do some research.

Tell me, if discussion on kiteforum.com could be such "peer-reviewed" source. I could start that discussion to determine styles, that will suit most kiters.

Regarding your proposed section, I wouldn't include competition-only styles like Course racing, Speed and Kite Cross, since none of kiteboarders are doing it on a regular basis. Also Jumping and Downwinders are subsets of other styles, but I think that keeping it short is important here. I would include only distinct styles. That is why Speed/Racing/Course race style should be included, because it has distinct gear and people involved into it.

Also it could be good idea to tell, where people from other sports should look to.

Also, looks like pages like this exist, even there are no reliable sources about performing ollie trick :)

VladGenie (talk) 11:36, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I agree that keeping styles section simple is the go. But I don't think Kiteloops/Megagloops is a style - rather they are subsets of jumping. Also "newschool" and "oldschool" are not in common usage.  Course racing and Speed are different in terms of events and gear.  Otherwise, I think it is good to go.

 * Regarding references, we just go with the best we can get. There would be very few peer reviewed sources.  Magazines and official website are OK, while forum posts are not really appropriate.

numbers
I had a debate with User:KiteAnalyst on the number of kitesurfers. After reading the ISAF Kiteboarding Format Trials Report, I replaced the 250000 figure cited in a North sails brochure by the 1.5M cited in the ISAF report. User:KiteAnalyst reverted it a few days later explaining : "The source for your update (ISAF Kiteboarding Format Trials report) does not offer a credible source for those figures". I reverted again with : "The International Sailing Federation is the international body reviewing kitesurfing for the olympics. You won't get a much more more credible source than this one."

He then added the phrase "These figures, however, have not yet been independently verified" labelled "Added disclaimer to 2nd paragraph. The source of those figures is not ISAF but the IKA, a promotional/lobby association for kitesurfing". Thinking it was a bit harsh (but partly true), I changed the phrase to a more balanced formulation : "the number of kitesurfers not yet reviewed has been estimated by the ISAF and IKA". The writers of the report are: Kamen Fillyov - Chairman of the ISAF Windsurfing & Kiteboarding Committee, Bruno de Wannemaeker - ISAF Equipment Committee, Michael Gebhardt - Olympic Windsurfer and professional Kiteboarder, Markus Schwendtner - Executive Secretary, International Kiteboarding Association. 2 ISAF, 1 IKA. Not really blinded lobbyists.

I agree that's a large number, but it seems more realistic than 250000 : in France alone, there is 25000 licenses in the biggest federation, mainly for students, and on the spots there is one in ten people with a license, so there is pehaps 200000 kiteboarders. France should be a quarter of Europe (UK : another quarter, north sea : another quarter, latin europe : another quarter), so it could be 800000 kitesurfers in Europe, half the world. Wild guess for me, but the ISAF/IKA should have asked national federations for estimations, they could be very close to the reality. --Marc Lacoste (talk) 10:19, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Hello Marc, I agree with your revision - I just edited it for grammar (respectfully). I hope you don't mind. The problem with the report you're citing is that it's at the center of some controversy at ISAF at the moment. Despite the pedigree of the authors, the figures in it are not sourced. I tried to look for third-party validation of those figures, and I cannot find any. Apparently, no one has done a credible market study of the sport in the past 6 years (the figures you quoted at first). Several industry manufacturers are on record saying that they have no idea of the size of the market, or the production volumes of their competitors. I agree that today's figures are probably closer to 1.5 million than 250000, but without a good source, it was prudent to do the revision we did. User:KiteAnalyst 12:42, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

 * This formulation, "These figures, however, have not yet been independently verified", is putting such credibility stress that it's very close to "those numbers are a wild guess by incompetent people". We don't have other numbers than those, and they are perfectly credible until proved otherwise. The dispute is mainly from the olympic windsurfing people, who wants to minimize kitesurfing impact. (from my humble perspective, on the spots I see 1 windsurfer for 5 to 10 kites now. windsurfers are fleeing to kitesurf : smaller package, easier to learn, and now cheaper) --Marc Lacoste (talk) 18:14, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

a grammar question
Hi! I have a couple of questions. In the sentence "Leading edge inflatable kites, known also as inflatables, LEI kites or C-kites, are typically made from ripstop polyester with an inflatable plastic bladder that spans the front edge of the kite with separate smaller bladders that are perpendicular to the main bladder to form the chord or foil of the kite." - what exactly forms the chord or foil? The smaller bladders? Or both the smaller and the main bladders? And is chord synonymous to foil? -- C opper K ettle  13:37, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Le kitesurfing, un sport d'amour et de passion.
''Je me nomme Alexine et je suis étudiante à l'université de Montréal, je souhaite à travers ce texte vous partager ma passion, le kitesurfing. C'est un sport nautique palpitant qui combine la puissance du vent avec la grâce de la glisse sur l'eau. Les adeptes de ce sport sont souvent captivés par la sensation de liberté que ce sport permet de procurer. La sensation de se laisser porter par les vagues tout en étant propulsé par une aile est époustouflante. Comme Ernest Hemingway l'a si bien écrit dans "Le Vieil Homme et la Mer", le kitesurfing incarne parfaitement l'idée que "l'homme n'est pas fait pour être un animal de somme, mais pour voler comme un oiseau. Le kitesurfing a évolué au fil des décennies pour devenir un sport à part entière, avec ses propres compétitions et communautés passionnées. Les riders se servent d'une planche de surf spéciale et d'une aile de kite pour se propulser à des vitesses impressionnantes. Le contrôle de l'aile est essentiel, car il détermine la trajectoire et la vitesse du rider. Les figures aériennes et les sauts spectaculaires sont courants, offrant un spectacle visuel époustouflant pour les spectateurs. Le kitesurfing ne se limite pas à la performance, il permet également une connexion profonde avec la nature. Glisser sur l'eau, ressentir la brise marine et observer le monde sous-marin à travers une eau cristalline crée une harmonie entre l'homme et la mer. Comme John Masefield l'a exprimé dans son poème "Sea-Fever", les kitesurfers partent "vers l'horizon, pour le large et le vaste ciel", explorant l'inconnu tout en s'émerveillant devant la majesté de l'océan." Cependant, il est important de noter que le kitesurfing est un sport exigeant qui nécessite une formation adéquate pour garantir la sécurité. C'est un sport extreme ou c'est la nature qui choisit. Les riders doivent être conscients des conditions météorologiques, des courants marins et de l'équipement qu'ils utilisent. Comme le disait Mark Twain, "La connaissance est la seule chose qui soit capable de vous sauver dans ce monde, et la seule chose qui peut vous couler."''

Shinichi Kitaoka

Shinichi Kitaoka (北岡 伸一) is a Japanese political scientist. He has held many roles such as the president of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), president of the International University of Japan, professor at Japan's GRIPS-Tokyo School of Security and International Studies, and Japanese ambassador to the United Nations. His area of expertise is the history of Japanese politics and diplomacy, as a political scientist and a historian.

Early life
Kitaoka was born in Yoshino, Nara Prefecture. His family owned a sake brewing business and both his father and grandfather had served as the mayor of Yoshino. His great uncle was Juitsu Kitaoka, economist and former official of the Ministry of Labor.

Kitaoka graduated with a B.L. in June 1971 and received his Ph.D. of Law from the University of Tokyo in September 1976. While studying at the University of Tokyo he lived at the all-male dormitory Wakeijuku.

Career
Kitaoka took a lecturership at Rikkyo University; he became a full professor there in 1985. In 1997, he moved to a position at the University of Tokyo.

In 2004, he was appointed as Japan's ambassador and deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, a position he held until 2006 when he returned to academia.

In 2006-2010, Kitaoka was the Japanese chair of the Japan-China Joint History Research Committee. Among other topics, the committee investigated the Nanking Massacre. From 2009-2010, he chaired a Ministry of Foreign Affairs committee on the so-called Secret Agreements between the U.S. and Japan on the introduction of nuclear weapons into Japanese territory.

Kitaoka was the Deputy Chairman of the Advisory Panel on Reconstruction of the Legal Basis for Security, an advisory panel to Prime Minister Abe on the possibility of re-interpreting constitutional provisions to allow for collective self-defense.

Daitch–Mokotoff Soundex

Daitch–Mokotoff Soundex (D–M Soundex) is a phonetic algorithm invented in 1985 by Jewish genealogists Gary Mokotoff and Randy Daitch. It is a refinement of the Russell and American Soundex algorithms designed to allow greater accuracy in matching of Slavic and Yiddish surnames with similar pronunciation but differences in spelling.

Daitch–Mokotoff Soundex is sometimes referred to as "Jewish Soundex" and "Eastern European Soundex", although the authors discourage use of these nicknames for the algorithm because the algorithm itself is independent of the fact that the motivation for creating the new system was the poor result of predecessor systems when dealing with Slavic and Yiddish surnames.

Improvements
Improvements over the older Soundex algorithms include:

 * Coded names are six digits long, resulting in greater search precision (traditional Soundex uses four characters)
 * The initial character of the name is coded.
 * Several rules in the algorithm encode multiple character n-grams as single digits (American and Russell Soundex do not handle multi-character n-grams)
 * Multiple possible encodings can be returned for a single name (traditional Soundex returns only one encoding, even if the spelling of a name could potentially have multiple pronunciations)

Examples
Some examples:

Beider–Morse Phonetic Name Matching Algorithm
To address the large number of false positive results generated by the D–M Soundex, Stephen P. Morse and Alexander Beider created the Beider–Morse Phonetic Name Matching algorithm. This new algorithm cuts down on false positives at the expense of some false negatives. A number of sites are offering the B–M soundex in addition to the D–M Soundex.

Talk:Cambot

Cambot speaks?
Having watched all 195 extant episodes of MST3K many times each, I can't recall offhand any time that Cambot ever spoke. Unless someone can cite a specific instance, I plan to remove the claim that Kevin Murphy did his voice. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've removed the assertion about Kevin Murphy's voicing of Cambot from this article and from Mystery Science Theater 3000. If anyone disagrees with this, please cite your source for this information. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:07, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Copied from Talk:Mystery Science Theater 3000:

 * Well, Cambot does speak in the intro to various seasons, when he says "you're on!" Who voices him then? -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:18, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

 * According to The Satellite News' page on MST3K lyrics, the following phrases are said during Cambot's appearance in the Robot Roll Call:
 * shows K00-K23: none (verified for #K11)
 * shows 101-512: "pan left" (verified for #312)
 * shows 513-1013: "show yourself" (verified "yourself" for #614; first word not very distinct)
 * Not only is it not clear (to me, at least) which real person is speaking these words, but one cannot assume that either phrase is supposed to be Cambot's voice. Unlike many of Gypsy, Servo, and Crow's roll-call one-liners, these are imperative statements, which are more likely being said to Cambot. In any case, I am aware of no documentation that suggests that Cambot is saying these lines, and without that, we cannot say that Cambot has been voiced by anyone. Does anyone have any such documentation, or other examples within the show of Cambot possibly speaking? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:17, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually this list is incorrect beyond season 7, which the phrase becomes "You're on!" as stated earlier.
 * In a side note, it was always my understanding that the person speaking these lines were Joel and Mike. Moreover since Joel's voice is also heard for Gypsy, Tom Servo, and Crow during the first 5 seasons where as the characters themselves voice their intro line (save for Cambot who has no voice) in Mike's seasons.
 * --150.226.95.18 (talk) 22:28, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I've just reverted another unsourced claim about Cambot speaking, per my argument above. We need verifiable sources, not fan speculation, for such claims. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 10:48, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Brechtian interaction
The article currently contains the following line:
 * From time to time, the characters on the show would interact with Cambot in a Brechtian fashion.

Unfortunately, the link to Bertolt Brecht does not provide a direct explanation of this statement. Its "Theory of theatre" section talks about the Verfremdungseffekt ("defamiliarization effect"), which apparently discourages audiences from becoming too involved with the fictional world, but not knowing Brecht's works, I don't see a clear connection. It would help to have a specific example and/or a clearer explanation of what is meant by this. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:27, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It's silly anyway; Cambot is clearly identified as a character in the programme, and the cast's interactions with him are consistent with the show's fictional continuity. It would be more accurate to say that e.g. "the characters on the show would address the audience in a fashion described by NOTABLE SOURCE as Brechtian REFERENCE", although this wouldn't really belong in the article on Cambot, even assuming such a source could be found. The irony is that Mystery Science Theatre 3000 is a superb, multi-level example of the "Verfremdungseffekt", but perhaps because it is a comedy programme no notable sources seem to have picked up on this. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 17:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Final episode
Isn't it Cambot who's recording Mike and the bots in the apartment, like usual?Thanos6 05:53, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

 * That's a very good question! It's a shame that the show doesn't quite answer it. Or perhaps it does: "Just repeat to yourself, 'It's just a show'…". I'm afraid we can only speculate, since the theme song itself points out the limitations of real-world logic in fathoming these matters. If only Mike had said something about (or to!) Cambot… ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:52, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Notability
Cambot seems pretty niche in terms of notability, I'm just suggesting. Volvlogia (talk) 01:53, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Chandrashekhara Bharati III

Swami Chandrasekhara Bharati (born Narasimha Sastri; 1892–1954 ) was the Jagadguru Sankaracarya of Sringeri Sharada Peetham in 1912–1954. He was one of the known spiritual figures in Hinduism during the 20th century. He is a Jivanmukta (Sanskrit for one liberated while alive).

Biography
Narasimha Sastri, who became Jagadguru Shankaraachaarya Swami Chandrashekhara Bharati (Honorific style: Chandrashekhara Bharati Swaminah ) was born to Gopala Sastri and Lakshmamma in Sringeri on Ashvayuja Shukla Ekadashi (the eleventh day of the fortnight in the month of Ashvayuja) in the Hindu lunar year Nandana (corresponding to October 16, 1892). He was the last of his parents' twelve children and the only one who survived past infancy. A noted feature of his life was that his birth, upanayanam, sannyasa and videha mukti (death), all happened on Sundays.

Childhood days
The childhood days of Narasimha Sastri were passed in Sringeri. An introvert, social life held little attraction for him. He was lodged in the house of Srikanta Sastri, the then administrator of the Sringeri Matha. His parents performed the Choodakarma (a rite performed as one of the sixteen saṃskāras that enables one to go to school). He was then sent to the local Anglo-vernacular school run by the government.

His Brahmopadesha was performed when he was eight. He was regular in the performance of Sandhyavandanam three times a day, and Agnikarya, twice a day.

Narasimha, after his twelfth year, moved to Sadvidya Sanjivini Pathasala in Sringeri by the expressed wish of Swami Sacchidananda Sivabhinava Narasimha Bharati, the Jagadguru Sankaracarya, who kept a close watch over the progress of his ward.

Higher studies at Bangalore
The Sankaracarya of Sringeri had established in 1910 an institution of higher Vedantic training, the Bharatiya Girvana Prouda Vidya Vardhini Shala in Bangalore. Narasimha Sastri was chosen to be a student at that institution. Narasimha Sastri moved to Bangalore in 1911 with his parents and plunged into his studies. Mahamahopadhyaya Vellore Subrahmanya Sastri and Mimamsa Shiromani Vaidyanatha Sastri taught him Purva Mimamsa by texts such as the Bhatta Dipika. Mahamahopadhyaya Virupaksha Sastri taught him Vedanta. Even in Bangalore there was no change in Narasimha's introvertness. He spent his free time in the peaceful environs of the Gavigangadhareshwara Temple in Gavipuram, Bangalore.

Taking Sannyasa
In 1912, Jagadguru Sankaracarya Sacchidananda Sivabhinava Nrsimha Bharati named Narasimha Sastri as his successor at Sharada Peetham. A devotee, Rama Sastri, was entrusted with the task of personally delivering the Sankaracarya's letter naming his successor to Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV, Maharaja of Mysore. Before Narasimha Sastri arrived in Sringeri, the Sankaracarya attained Videha Mukti. So, on April 7, 1912, Narasimha Sastri was initiated into Sannyasa by Swami Satyananda Sarasvati and given the yoga patta of Swami Chandrasekhara Bharati. He received the saffron robes, the sacred staff, and the kamandala (water pot) from Satyananda. He was thus ordained in the dashanami tradition of Adi Shankaracharya.

Kumbhabhishekam and Digvijayam
In 1916, the Kumbhabhishekam (consecration) of the Sharada Temple in Sringeri was performed by Sankaracarya Chandrashekhara Bharati. In 1924, he left Sringeri on his first Digvijayam (tour). He first reached Mysore and consecrated a temple at the house of his Guru. It was named Abhinava Shankaralaya. Then, from Mysore, the Sankaracarya proceeded to Satyamangalam via Nanjanagud and Chamrajanagar. He then toured the southern parts of the Tamil country including Thirunelveli and Kanyakumari. He then toured Thiruvananthapuram and Kaladi in Travancore. At Kaladi, in 1927 he established a Vedanta Pathashala (an institution for higher studies in Vedanta). He then returned to Sringeri after visiting a few more places in Karnataka and Travancore.

Avadhuta Sthiti and naming his successor
After returning to Sringeri, Sankaracharya Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamin assumed the Avadhuta Sthiti (the state of being an Avadhuta). He was absorbed in the inward bliss of the Atma. To enable himself to spend more time in meditation and contemplation of the Self, he named a successor to the Peetham: a vatu named Srinivasa Sastri. On May 22, 1931, he initiated Srinivasa Sastri into Sannyasa and gave him the yoga patta of Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha. In 1938, Sri Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamin undertook a yatra (pilgrimage) to Bangalore, Mysore and Kaladi. After returning to Sringeri, he resumed his classes on Vedanta and wrote thought-provoking and erudite articles in Asthikamathasanjeevini, a journal published by the Matha. He granted interviews to genuine seekers and gave darshan to the public.

Final years and videha mukti
After 1945, Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamin gradually withdrew from all activities. However, his fame had spread far and wide. On August 24, 1954, the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, visited Sringeri to pay homage to the Sankaracharya. The President, a pious man having deep faith in the Hindu scriptures, discussed with Sankaracharya Sri Sri Chandrashekhara Bharathi on Dharma and other allied subjects.

A few years later the Jagadguru died. On Sunday, September 26, 1954, he got up early in the morning and walked towards Tunga River; a servant followed at a slight distance. He stepped into the water without heeding the servant's warning about the depth of water at that spot, and advancing further into the current had a dip. Then he did Pranayama, and dipped again. The servant saw the Acharya's body floating down the current. In consternation the servant plunged into the river, caught hold of the Acharya, but in the effort lost his consciousness. A gentleman who happened to hear the shouts of the servant, brought the two ashore. The servant was soon restored to life but ‘nothing could be done in the other case’. It was reported that his body was in an erect sitting posture with legs crossed as at the time of contemplation and was straightened out only in an attempt to restore respiration and that there was no sign of drowning or of suffocation or of any struggles for life. The Jagadguru's mortal remains found their resting place in a samadhi just by the side of that of his great guru in Narasimhavanam. The anniversary of the day will ever fall on the Mahalaya New Moon day, the day of the annual Abhiseka of Sri Sharada preparatory to the Navaratri celebrations. His birth, Upanayanam, Sanyasa and Videha Mukti were all on Sundays.

Works
Chandrashekhara Bharati composed a few poems and wrote a famous commentary. His main works are:
 * Gururaja Sukti Malika containing 36 compositions in about 400 pages. Printed in Sanskrit and Tamil
 * Bhashya (commentary) on Vivekachoodamani of Sri Adyashankaracharya

A right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium pace swing bowler, Johnson made his first-class debut as a teenager in the 1992 County Championship as an opening bowler for Middlesex.

Johnson made headlines in 1994 when he took all ten Derbyshire wickets in their second-innings, returning figures of 10/45. These remain the best innings figures taken in the English County Championship since 1945.

He joined Somerset in 2001, helping the county to win the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy in that season. He rejoined Middlesex in 2007.

In a short international career, Johnson played three Tests and ten One Day Internationals (ODIs) for England in 2003, his only year of international cricket.

Johnson announced his retirement from first-class cricket in October 2007, aged 32 before launching a coaching career.

Following his retirement, he gained experience as a bowling coach for both Middlesex and Surrey before his appointment by Middlesex as head coach in January 2022 following the departure of Stuart Law.

International recognition
Johnson's first taste of international cricket came during the 1992–93 Coca-Cola International Youth Cricket Challenge in South Africa, where he represented England Under-18s, alongside fellow future Test cricketers Marcus Trescothick and Vikram Solanki. The following winter, he toured Sri Lanka with England Under-19s, playing one youth Test and three youth One Day Internationals. He claimed three wickets in each innings of his Test appearance, including that of Mahela Jayawardene, and followed this up with four wickets in the ODI series, finishing the tournament with a bowling average of 14.16 from his Test and 16.50 from the ODI series.

After his ten-wicket haul against Derbyshire, Johnson was named as part of the England A squad to tour India and Bangladesh in the winter of 1994–95.

He was called into the England tour of India in 2001-2 as a late replacement for county colleague Andy Caddick. He did not play in any of the international matches on the tour, although he appeared in one tour match, taking four wickets.

Johnson's Test career began in impressive fashion, as he claimed six wickets in the first-innings of his debut against Zimbabwe in June 2003. Although he remained wicket-less in the second-innings, Johnson received the man of the match award. His figures were the sixth best by an Englishman on Test debut. His One Day International debut came later in the same month as part of the 2003 NatWest Series against Zimbabwe and South Africa. Opening the bowling alongside Darren Gough, he claimed three wickets as Zimbabwe won with two overs to spare. He went wicket-less in two matches against South Africa before claiming another two Zimbabwean wickets in the following match. Following the return of James Anderson, Johnson was no longer opening the bowling, instead being used as first-change bowler. A five-man pace attack bowled Zimbabwe out for just 92, and despite four wickets from Heath Streak, England won the match in just 17.5 overs. He claimed his first non-Zimbabwean wicket in the penultimate match of the competition, having Jacques Kallis caught, following it up two overs later with the wicket of Andrew Hall. Another wicket in the final meant that Johnson finished the tournament with eight wickets for a respectable bowling average of 22.12. A knee injury prevented Johnson from playing in the following Test series against South Africa.

Despite his performance on debut, Johnson was not picked as part of the England Test squad to tour Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. However, when Anderson was ruled out with a knee injury, Johnson cancelled his honeymoon and an injury to Steve Harmison in the first Test saw him selected for the second. He responded by becoming the first English bowler since Nick Cook in 1983 to take five-wicket hauls in his first two Tests. He finished with match figures of 9/93, and was once again rewarded by being named man of the match. In the subsequent ODIs, Johnson claimed three wickets in the second match after remaining wicket-less in the first. Johnson's third, and final, Test appearance came in the first Test against Sri Lanka in December 2003. He claimed a solitary wicket, that of Kumar Sangakkara. England opted to replace Hoggard and Johnson with a sixth batsman and James Kirtley for the second Test, with both bowlers receiving criticism for lacking the variety needed on a flat track at Galle.

Coaching career
Johnson worked as the bowling coach for Middlesex from 2011 to 2018. When Middlesex's head coach was sacked, Johnson took over as interim head coach for the remainder of the 2018 season, but was not appointed as full-time head coach at the end of the season, being beaten to the role by Stuart Law. He then moved to Surrey as a bowling coach, before returning to Middlesex as their first team coach in 2022

Illuminati X
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't have a clue what this is. It appears to be a fictional accounting of a large scale gang war of some kind. It's not encyclopedic, appears to make no distinction between fantasy and reality and cites no sources. In a Google search for "Illuminati X", I could find no results that were relevent to this. Fernando Rizo T/C 08:04, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Don't Delete This is not a fictional account of a large scale gang war. That would make for an interesting book though. This is an actual account of a massive multiplayer online game. While I should be the first to say that this is not your normal history, it is in fact a history of a sort. And with a player base of around 50,000 people this would give them the opportunity to visit Wikipedia and to enjoy something of interest to themselves. Thankyou for considering not deleting this peice of online history.

Emerton, New South Wales

Emerton is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Emerton is located 46 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Blacktown and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.

Emerton is primarily a residential suburb with very limited commercial activity centred on the Emerton Leisure Centre. It is quite close to the suburbs of Mount Druitt, New South Wales and St Marys.

The suburb's boundary is formed to the south and east by Popondetta Road continuing north around the extent of Popondetta Park. To the west, the boundary runs along Halmahera Creek until the creek meets Luxford Road and follows the road south to the intersection with Popondetta Road.

History
Emerton takes its name from William Frederick Emert, a native of Siglingen, Germany, who arrived in Australia in 1853. In 1861 he became a storekeeper and postmaster in Mount Druitt. Emert also took a leading part in forming the Wesleyan Church in Australia.

Commercial areas
There are several retail developments adjacent to the intersection of Jersey and Popondetta Roads, surrounding the main shopping centre called 'Emerton Village'. These include an Australia Post post office, supermarket, service station, medical centres, take-away food and a hotel. Banking is limited to retail EFTPOS and automatic teller machines.

Transport
By road Emerton is adjacent to the Westlink M7 motorway which can provide very easy access to the Great Western Highway and the M4 Motorway, providing road access to the western sections of the city and eastward to the Sydney CBD. This suburb is linked by several private bus companies to the train stations located at Mount Druitt and St Marys.

Cycleways running through Emerton run from Popondetta Park all the way to Mt Druitt and the M7 cycleway, which in turn connects to the cycleways on the M4 and M2 motorways.

Housing
The three most common forms of dwelling were in decreasing order: a separate house; a semi-detached, row/terrace house, or townhouse; a flat, unit or apartment.

Recreation
Following extensive refurbishment by Blacktown City Council, the Emerton Leisure Centre (formerly Emerton Pool) was reopened in August 2006. In 2017, the centre was renamed the Charlie Lowles Leisure Centre. The leisure centre incorporates both indoor and outdoor swimming pools (including a hydrotherapy pool) and outdoor facilities include a beach volleyball court.

Adjacent is Popondetta Park, which extends between Popondetta Road and Halamahera Creek, from Jersey Road to Bougainville Road. This park incorporates extensive sporting fields for cricket, netball, rugby league and soccer.

Population
According to the 2016 census of Population, there were 2,252 people in Emerton.
 * Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 6.8% of the population.
 * 58.0% of people were born in Australia. The next most common country of birth was New Zealand at 6.7%.
 * 64.3% of people only spoke English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Samoan at 5.8%, Tongan at 2.6%, Cook Islands Maori at 2.2% and Arabic at 1.7%.
 * The most common responses for religion were Catholic 25.5%, No Religion 18.2% and Anglican 14.7%.
 * The median age of people was 31 years. Children aged 0 – 14 years made up 25.4% of the population
 * The unemployment rate (14.3%) was more than double the national rate of 6.9%.

Politics
For federal elections, Emerton is in the safe Labor electoral division of Chifley. This seat is currently held by Ed Husic of the Labor Party, elected in the 2010 election. He was Australia's first Muslim in the federal government during Kevin Rudd's second stint as prime minister. Chifley has been held continuously by Labor since it was proclaimed in 1984.

For NSW state elections, Emerton is mainly in the Electoral district of Londonderry. It is represented by Prue Car of the Labor Party.

Purvashrama

Purvashrama (पूर्वाश्रम, ), is a term used with reference to Sannyasis. The word 'Purvashrama' is a compound of the words pūrva (meaning before, prior to) and āśrama (stage of life), thus referring to the stage of life of a Sannyasi before his Sannyasa.

The word is also used to address family relationships before taking vows of Sanyasis (example - purvashrama father). This is to give emphasis to the nature of poorna-sannyas (complete sannyas) phase, where the pre-monastic life family relationships cease to be considered cosmically binding.

Talk:Shippingport Atomic Power Station

Contradiction?
What's with the date convention in this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.162.77.10 (talk) 20:30, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

It says:
 * It began operating on December 2, 1957 [...]
 * Ground was broken in 1954 at a dedication ceremony attended by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who opened the Shippingport atomic power station on May 26, 1958 as part of his Atoms for Peace program.

Was it operating before being opened? Ben T/C 08:09, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * According to the ASME article, it went critical and generated power in "test" mode before formally "opening".--J Clear 23:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

In all cases, a new nuclear reactor achieves intial criticality and extensive testing is performed prior to declaring the unit to be in "commercial operation". Commercial operation is when the unit has been tested and is supplying power to the grid for profit. Shippingport was operating but not yet commercial. 04/21/08

Was not the first commerical reactor, Calder Hall went on line over a year ealier (oct 1956). Removed refrence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.87.4.63 (talk) 09:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * As a footnote now says, Calder Hall was dual-purpose, producing weapons-grade plutonium as well as electric power to the grid. The first purely civilian nuclear station in the UK was Berkeley.  .John M Brear (talk) 09:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Site clean up
"The site has been cleaned up and released for unrestricted use." Does that refer to a web site, post 9/11 or to the physical site on the Ohio River? If the latter, when was the plant decomissioned, cleaned up, etc. In either case it needs clarification.--J Clear 17:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Answered my own question.--J Clear 18:37, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Fast Breeder?
The text claims that Shippingport was a light water fast breeder reactor, which is a contradiction in terms. It's impossible to have fast neutrons in a light water moderated reactor. The breeding mechanism for the Thorium-Uranium fuel cycle uses thermal as opposed to fast neutrons (which is used in the Uranium-Plutonium fuel cycle). —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrHonzik (talk • contribs) 17:28, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

 * The final core was using less moderator (water) than a normal light water reactor. So it was using an intermediate energy spectrum, so not a strictly thermal reactor but also not a truly fast reactor (which is difficult to impossible with water cooling). This is a good choice for breeding in the Th232/U233 cycle. Its the special properties of U-233, that allows using this intermediate spectrum. U235 and Pu239 are far less efficient at that energy. Breeding with Pu239 or U235 as fissile fuel needs a truly fast reactor. The article text has changed to light water thermal breeder by now. I am not sure about the exact (if there are some) definitions about when to call a reactor thermal, intermediate or fast. I think there should be at least a note, that it uses less moderator than normal U235 based reactors.--Ulrich67 (talk) 20:12, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Aircraft carrier?
The reactor was designed with two uses in mind: for powering aircraft carriers, and serving as a prototype for commercial electrical power generation. -> How could this nuclear power station power aircraft carriers? The station is some hundred miles away from the next ocean. --DF5GO (talk) 13:58, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

 * It was the reactor that was designed to be multipurpose - usable in land-based power-plant or in a naval propulsion system - not the power station! A similar situation arises with gas turbines, some are strictly air-propulsion, some naval propulsion, some land-based power generation and some multi-purpose.  .John M Brear (talk) 09:41, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Full-scale?
Where is "full-scale nuclear power plant" defined? I agree, that both Obninsk and Vallecito were lower power by an order of magnitude, but in this article the "full-scale" sounds really like an excuse to claim it a first of something, dammit :). Given that Obninsk was operational for 48 years and went online 3 years before Shippingport at a period when the development of the field was very rapid (thus the power difference), it sounds almost insincere. The citation supports it, but it's a single source, and even there it's in quotes as if afraid someone takes it too seriously. 193.40.10.181 (talk) 18:38, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
