Municipality of Burwood

The Municipality of Burwood (also known as Burwood Council) is a local government area in the inner-west of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The mayor of the Municipality is Cr. John Faker, a member of the Labor Party. The municipality is 7 km2, making it the second smallest Local Government Area in New South Wales, being larger than only Hunter's Hill.

History
The municipality was established on 27 March 1874. The council chambers are located on Conder Street and were designed and built by architect Jack Hennessy in 1877. Hennessy was later a mayor of Burwood.

A 2015 review of local government boundaries by the NSW Government Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal recommended that the Municipality of Burwood merge with adjoining councils of: Canada Bay and Strathfield Councils to form a new council with an area of 41 km2 and support a population of approximately 163,000 at the time.

In May 2016, Strathfield Council challenged the proposed merger and commenced proceedings in the New South Wales Land and Environment Court. After the court heard that there were legal flaws in the report from the state government-appointed delegate who examined the proposal for merging the councils, the NSW Government withdrew from the case and the merger proposal stalled. In July 2017, the Berejiklian government decided to abandon the forced merger of the Strathfield, Burwood and Canada Bay local government areas, along with several other proposed forced mergers.

Update to census
Hey all! There was a new census in 2021, I just got Wikipedia today (mainly because of this and other articles), and don't know how to update the page.

This is the link: https://abs.gov.au/census/find-census-data/quickstats/2021/LGA11300

Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park

Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park is a California State Park, preserving an outcropping of marbleized limestone with some 1,185 mortar holes—the largest collection of bedrock mortars in North America. It is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills, 8 mi east of Jackson. The park is nestled in a little valley 2400 ft above sea level, with open meadows and large specimens of valley oak that once provided the Miwok peoples of this area with an ample supply of acorns. The 135 acre park was established in 1962 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

The native name for the site is "Chaw’se", the Miwok word for "grinding rock". Upon this rock they ground acorns and other seeds into meal, slowly forming the cup-shaped depressions in the stone, which can still be seen today. Along with the mortar holes, the main grinding rock within the park features a number of petroglyphs: circles, spoked wheels, animal and human tracks, wavy lines, etc. Some of these carvings are thought to be as much as two or three thousand years old and are now becoming difficult to discern. This association of rock art and bedrock mortar pits is unique in California. Except for one other small site, Chaw'se has the only known occurrence of mortars intentionally decorated with petroglyphs.

Chaw'se Regional Indian Museum
This museum within the park grounds features a variety of exhibits and a vast collection of Sierra Nevada Indian artifacts. A Miwok village complete with a ceremonial roundhouse has been reconstructed in the middle of the small valley and is registered as California Historical Landmark #1001. The museum has been designed to reflect the architecture of the traditional roundhouse. Exhibited in this two-story museum are examples of the technology and crafts of the Miwok and other Sierra Nevada Native American groups. As a regional Indian museum, the collection at Chaw'se includes exhibits on various tribal groups, including: the Northern, Central and Southern Miwok, Maidu, Konkow, Monache, Nisenan, Tubatulabal, Washoe, and Foothill Yokuts.

Wildlife
Bird life varies depending on the season, but many species are seen year-round, including turkey vultures, California scrub and Steller's jays, California quail, acorn and hairy woodpeckers, northern flickers, hermit thrushes, wild turkeys (non-native), and California thrashers. In summer the bright colors of the western tanager, northern oriole, calliope and Anna's hummingbirds can be seen in the woods around the meadow.

The abundant animal life in and around the park includes deer, fox, gray and California ground squirrels, black-tailed jackrabbits, bobcats, bats, and occasionally a mountain lion or black bear. Coyote calls can be heard on quiet summer nights.

Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency

Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that prevents the body from converting long-chain fatty acids into energy, particularly during periods without food. Carnitine, a natural substance acquired mostly through the diet, is used by cells to process fats and produce energy. People with this disorder have a faulty enzyme that prevents long-chain fatty acids from being transported into the innermost part of the mitochondria for processing.

Presentation
The signs of carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency usually begin within the first few hours of life. Seizures, an irregular heartbeat, and breathing problems are often the first signs of this disorder. This disorder may also cause extremely low levels of ketones (products of fat breakdown that are used for energy) and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Together, these two signs are called hypoketotic hypoglycemia. Other signs that are often present include ammonia in the blood (hyperammonemia), an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly), heart abnormalities (cardiomyopathy), and muscle weakness. This disorder can cause sudden infant death.

Pathophysiology

Mutations in the SLC25A20 gene lead to the production of a defective version of an enzyme called carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase.

Without this enzyme, long-chain fatty acids from food and fats stored in the body cannot be broken down and processed. As a result, these fatty acids are not converted into energy, which can lead to characteristic signs and symptoms of this disorder, such as weakness, hypoglycemia, and an irregular heartbeat. Free long-chain fatty acids or those that are joined with carnitine can affect the electrical properties of cardiac cells causing an irregular heart beat (arrhythmia, which can lead to cardiac arrest). Fatty acids may also build up in tissues and can damage the heart, liver, and muscles, and cause more serious complications.

This condition has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, which means the defective gene is located on an autosome, and two copies of the gene - one from each parent - must be inherited to be affected by the disorder. The parents of a child with an autosomal recessive disorder are carriers of one copy of the defective gene, but are usually not affected by the disorder.

Félix Caballero

Félix Caballero was a Dominican priest. He played an important part in the history of the missions of Baja California, and also the opening up of the route to Tucson, Arizona.

Caballero arrived at Veracruz on December 19, 1812, and traveled to Baja California in July, 1814. The first records of his activities on the Peninsula can be traced back to December 15 of that year, where he presided over a burial service at Misión San Vicente Ferrer.

In 1815, he was placed in charge of the Misión San Miguel Arcángel de la Frontera. In 1822 he was one of only three Dominicans in the mission.

On April 14, 1823, Father Caballero and two companions set out from Mission Santa Catalina to reconnoiter a road between Las Californias and Sonora, closed since the revolt of the Yuma in the 1780s. They crossed the lower Colorado River in Cocopa territory to avoid the Yumas, then the Tinajas Altas, then turned northeast to reach the Gila River where he encountered some villages of friendly Halchidhomas, then continued up the Gila through Cocomaricopa and Pima territory and reached Tucson twelve walking days after leaving Santa Catalina and then continued on to Arizpe. He returned to Mission Santa Catalina from Tucson with a military expedition under Captain José Romero who was to establish a route for a mail service through the region.

In 1834 he founded Misión de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe del Norte, the last Dominican mission to be established in California. The mission survived only until 1840, when a local chief, Jatñil, who had previously provided support to the missions, led a rebellion in response to forced conversions of his people.

Othar Turner

Othar "Otha" Turner (June 2, 1907 – February 27, 2003) was one of the last well-known fife players in the vanishing American fife and drum blues tradition. His music was also part of the African-American genre known as Hill country blues.

Early life and education
Othar Turner, nicknamed "Otha", was born in Canton, Madison County, Mississippi in 1907. He moved further north, living his entire life in northern Mississippi hill country as a farmer near Como, Mississippi in Panola County. In 1923, aged 16, he learned to play fifes fashioned out of rivercanes and gradually learned other instruments as well.

Musicmaking
In the late 1960s and 1970s, scholars from nearby colleges made field recordings of Turner and his friends' music, as examples of local traditions, but did not release these. Turner's Rising Star Fife and Drum Band (which consisted of friends and relatives) primarily played at farm parties. In the early 1970s the band was called "The Gravel Springs Fife & Drum Band" with Napoleon Strickland, GD Young and "Cag" Young as well as Bernice Turner as members of the group. Turner, along with bandmates Jessie Mae Hemphill and Abe Young, performed as the "Mississippi Fife and Drum Corps" in episode number 1509 of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood that aired on November 18, 1982.

The group began to receive wider recognition for their Hill country blues in the 1990s. They were included in Mississippi Blues in Memphis Vol. 1 in 1993, followed by inclusion in many other blues collections. They released their critically acclaimed album, Everybody Hollerin' Goat (1998) on Birdman Records. This was followed by From Senegal to Senatobia in 1999, which combined bluesy fife and drum music with musicians credited as the "Afrossippi Allstars".

The title, Everybody Hollerin' Goat, refers to a tradition Turner began in the late 1950s of hosting Labor Day picnics. He would personally butcher a goat and cook it in an iron kettle, and his band would provide musical entertainment. The picnics began as a neighborhood and family gathering. The event grew over the years to attract musical fans, first from Memphis, Tennessee, and later from all over the world.

The song, "Shimmy She Wobble", from Everybody Hollerin' Goat was featured in the 2002 film, Gangs of New York. Martin Scorsese, the film's director, featured Turner in his 2003 PBS mini-series The Blues, discussing the link between African rhythms and American blues. The concept was continued on the 2003 album Mississippi to Mali by Corey Harris. The album was dedicated to Turner, who died a week before he was scheduled to record for the album. His granddaughter and protégé Shardé Thomas, then 12 years old, filled in for the recording sessions.

Personal life
Othar Turner died aged 95, on February 27, 2003. His daughter, Bernice Turner Pratcher, who had been living in a nursing home because of terminal breast cancer, died the same day, aged 48. A joint funeral service was held on March 4, 2003, in Como, Mississippi. A procession leading to the cemetery was led by the Rising Star Fife and Drum Band, with his granddaughter Shardé Thomas, then 13 years old, at its head playing the fife.

Awards and honors
Turner was a recipient of a 1992 National Heritage Fellowship awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the United States government's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.

He was nominated for two Blues Music Awards (formerly the W.C. Handy Blues Awards) in 2000 and 2003 in the Blues Instrumentalist: Other category.

In 2009, Turner was honored with a marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail in Como.

Cultural influence
Maurice Watkins portrayed a fife—playing character named Othar in the 2004 Coen brothers' film The Ladykillers.

Filmography

 * Gravel Springs Fife and Drum (1971), short film directed by Bill Ferris, recorded by David Evans, and edited by Judy Peiser.
 * Homeplace (1975, filmed in 1972), short film by Michael Ford, audio by James Forward. Produced by Yellow Cat Productions, Washington, DC.
 * Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1982), episode 1509: "Friends: Daniel Feels Forgotten"

Canterbury, New Brunswick

Canterbury is a former village in York County, in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It held village status prior to 2023 and is now part of the village of Lakeland Ridges. The community is west of the Trans-Canada Highway at the intersection of Route 122 and Route 630.

It is named for Thomas Manners-Sutton (1814–77), later third Viscount Canterbury, who served as Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick from 1854-1861. Parrish erected in 1855.

History
Tracing its roots to the forestry and railway industries, Canterbury was once home to over 1,000 residents and served as a service centre for the surrounding area of western York County. There were at least three general stores, a small department store, a railway hotel, bank, and a butcher as late as the mid-1960s, but they are all gone now.

Early settlers of the area were Loyalists ( possibly disbanded soldiers of the King's American Regiment and their families ) displaced by the end of the American Revolution (1780s) later augmented by immigrants from Ireland (Ulster, circa 1840).

In the winter of 1865, Canterbury was briefly the focus of much military activity when some 9000 British troops passed through the village on their way to "The Canadas" (Ontario and Quebec). The British government had become alarmed about the possibility of an American invasion following the end of the American Civil War and sent this military contingent to reinforce the garrisons in The Canadas. As it was winter, the shipping season in the St. Lawrence River was closed leaving overland travel from British colonies in the Maritimes as the only option. The closest rail connection to Quebec from the Atlantic coast in the 1860s was the New Brunswick and Canada Railway line extending from the port of St. Andrews through Canterbury to the end of rails in nearby Richmond Corner. The large contingent of British troops debarked passenger trains at the station and were then driven by horse-drawn sleigh up the Saint John River and then across to St Lawrence to Levis (opposite Quebec City) where they re-boarded passenger trains operated by the Grand Trunk Railway.

Prior to 1966 Canterbury was a local improvement district governed by a chairman and secretary and 3 councillors and then in 1966, it was incorporated as a village, with a mayor, secretary and 3 councillors later adding a fourth councillor and at present has a village office on Main Street.

On 1 January 2023, Canterbury amalgamated with the village of Meductic and all or part of five local service districts to form the new village of Lakeland Ridges. The community's name remains in official use.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Canterbury had a population of $320$ living in $135$ of its $142$ total private dwellings, a change of NaN% from its 2016 population of $336$. With a land area of 5.32 km2, it had a population density of in 2021.

Infrastructure
The New Brunswick and Canada Railway extended the former St. Andrews and Quebec Railway line to Canterbury in 1859, placing Canterbury roughly halfway between Woodstock to the north and McAdam to the south. The New Brunswick and Canada Railway was purchased by the New Brunswick Railway in 1882. In 1890, the New Brunswick Railway was purchased by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which operated the line through Canterbury to serve its rail network in the upper Saint John River valley until rail service was abandoned in the early 1990s. The original CPR passenger station on Water Street in Canterbury was demolished in the 2000s and the rail line is now a rail trail and part of the Sentier NB Trail system.

Education
Canterbury has a school called Canterbury High School, which educates students from kindergarten to grade 12 all in one building. The school has escaped closure several times but had its future sealed in 2002 with an extensive construction overhaul and addition of a new gym. Prior to 1975, Canterbury High School held grades 7–12, The Old Green School house beside Mill Street housed Grade 1, 2, 3 and 6 and Grades 4 and 5 were held in Meductic School.

Symphony No. 20 (Mozart)

Symphony No. 20 in D major, K. 133, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in July 1772, when Mozart was sixteen years old. This symphony is one of many written during the period Mozart stayed in Salzburg, between two trips to Italy. Compared to other symphonies Mozart wrote in this period, the scoring is extravagant, featuring two trumpets in addition to the standard oboes, horns, and strings. The key of D major, which is a key often reserved for ceremonial music, is well suited to the presence of these trumpets.

Structure
The symphony is scored for one flute, two oboes, two horns, two trumpets and strings.

There are four movements:

 * 1) Allegro
 * The first movement, in D major and time, is written in sonata allegro form, with the notable deviation of the recapitulation being the mirror image of the exposition. That is, the recapitulation starts with the second theme, and Mozart waits until the very end to unveil the return of the first theme. He does so by first bringing the theme in softly with the strings, then repeating with the strings now doubled by the trumpets.
 * 1) Andante
 * The second movement, in A major and, features strings with a solo flute, which typically doubles the first violin one octave higher. The violins play with mutes throughout the movement, and the bass part is played pizzicato. These features, in combination, give the movement a delicate texture.
 * 1) Menuetto – Trio
 * This minuet in D major starts boldly. A more subdued trio written primarily for strings (with a bit of oboe).
 * 1) [Allegro]
 * The fourth movement, also in D major, is a long dance in time cast in sonata-allegro form. Though Mozart himself did not label the tempo of the fourth movement, the character of the piece and the standard symphonic form of the time indicates that Mozart probably intended the piece to go at an "allegro" tempo.

Arlington Heights, Los Angeles

Arlington Heights is a neighborhood in Central Los Angeles, California.

Origin
In July 1904, the Los Angeles Evening Express reported the sale of a sixty acre tract known as Arlington Heights for the price of $75,000. The parcel fronted Pico Street and Washington Streets with the Sixteenth Street car line running through the tract. It noted that the property was to be sub-divided and the streets "finely improved". By 1906, sub-divided lots were listed with selling prices from $995 to $2900.

In 1910, the Arlington Heights Improvement Association announced that they spent $16,000 to purchase 10 lots (between Washington and Eighteenth Street) to put up a school that would cost an additional $25,000.

Demolition threat
In February 1988, Mount Vernon Junior High was considering an expansion that would have torn down 29 homes in the neighborhood. At that time, the Los Angeles Times described Arlington Heights as an "Inner City Oasis". The school district was considering one of two options: demolition of existing homes or adding new stories to existing buildings. The following month, the Times reported that the expansion plan had been shelved and homes would not be taken. Homeowners said that they still planned to seek historic status for their homes to prevent future condemnation should the district change position.

Renaming of Mount Vernon Junior High
In the 1990s, there was a movement to rename Mount Vernon Junior High after Wyatt Earp of O.K. Corral fame. The school is located on the site of the gunfighter’s last home at 4004 W. 17th Street. At the time, then-councilman Nate Holden said “I like the sound of ‘Wyatt Earp Junior High.’” Holden's proposal ran into opposition and was later dropped. In 2006, the school was renamed after attorney Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. and 17th Street was rechristened as Johnnie Cochran Vista. Cochran had attended Mount Vernon and had been a member of the debating team.

Geography
Per Council File: 02-2353, adopted on October 30, 2002, the City of Los Angeles defined Arlington Heights as the area bounded by the west side of Arlington Avenue, the east side of Crenshaw Boulevard, the north side of Washington Boulevard and the south side of Pico Boulevard. At that time, The Los Angeles Department of Transportation was instructed to install neighborhood signs at the following locations: Arlington and Pico Boulevard (southwest corner), Arlington Avenue and Washington Boulevard (northeast corner), Crenshaw and Washington Boulevards (northeast corner), Crenshaw and Venice Boulevards (southeast corner), Crenshaw and Pico Boulevards (southeast corner),  Arlington Avenue and Venice Boulevard (northwest corner).

The neighborhood of Country Club Park is located north of Pico Boulevard. Angelus Vista is located east of Arlington Avenue. The neighborhoods of Victoria Park and Lafayette Square are located west of Crenshaw Boulevard. West Adams Terrace is to the south.

The Los Angeles Times Mapping L.A.project definition of Arlington Heights includes the adjacent neighborhoods of Country Club Park, Western Heights and Angelus Vista.

Population
The following statistics apply only to the area defined by the Los Angeles Times Mapping L.A. project:

The 2000 U.S. census counted 22,096 residents in the 1.03-square-mile neighborhood—an average of 21,423 people per square mile, among the highest population densities in the county. In 2008, the city estimated that the population had increased to 23,330. The median age for residents was 31, about average for both the city and the county.

Arlington Heights was said to be "highly diverse" when compared to the city at large. The ethnic breakdown in 2000 was: Latinos, 56.6%; blacks, 24.5%; Asians, 12.9%; whites, 4.7%; and others, 1.2%. Mexico (34,9%) and El Salvador (20.2%) were the most common places of birth for the 49.8% of the residents who were born abroad, a figure that was considered high in comparison with foreign-born in the city as a whole.

The median household income in 2008 dollars was $31,421, considered low for both the city and the county. The percentage of households earning $20,000 or less was high, compared to the county at large. The household size of three people was just about average for Los Angeles. Renters occupied 81.6% of the housing units, and home- or apartment owners the rest.

The percentages of never-married men (42.4%) and never-married women (35.9%) were among the county's highest. The census found 1,165 families headed by single parents, the 23.5% rate being considered high for both the city and the county.

Arlington Heights residents aged 25 and older holding a four-year degree amounted to 13.9% of the population in 2000, about average for both the city and the county, although there was a high percentage of residents with less than a high school diploma.

Wood-Tikchik State Park

Wood-Tikchik State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Alaska north of Dillingham. Over 1,600,000 acre (6,500 km2) in area—about the size of the state of Delaware—, comprising more than half of all state park land in Alaska and 15% of the total state park land in the country. Despite being the largest state park in the nation, the park had no staff whatsoever for its first five years, and even now at times only a single ranger is in charge of patrolling the entire park, usually by aircraft.

History
Yup'ik people inhabited the area that is now the park for centuries before contact with Europeans. In 1818 a Russian expedition explored the area and its rivers and established a fur trading post in the area that remained active until the Alaska Purchase in 1867. The National Park Service at one point considered managing the area, but the Alaska State Legislature voted in 1978 to make it a state park.

Access
Due to its remote location, the park is not accessible from the contiguous road system. The only road access is from Dillingham, which has an airport with regularly scheduled flights. Many visitors to the park arrive by charted floatplane and land on one of the many lakes, all of which are open to floatplane landings. Marine access to the Wood River lake system is via the Wood River itself. There are a few privately owned remote lodges within the park, by reservation only. The entire park is open to camping, but a few areas do require a permit. Leave No Trace camping is heavily emphasized by the park managers and fires are only permitted on beaches or gravel bars, or one of the few provided fire pits.

Conservation
The park is deliberately mostly undeveloped wilderness, with various conservation groups working to purchase publicly available parcels within the park, either to hold in trust or to sell back to the park system. This has created some friction with pro-development groups, including Yupik natives who would like to develop on land claims they have that predate the establishment of the park. The park is bounded on the west by Togiak National Wildlife Refuge and on the northwest by the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, providing an extremely large area of remote wilderness on public lands.

Fish and wildlife
The park is considered a critical habitat for a variety of wildlife, however a primary reason for the park’s existence is to preserve salmon spawning areas. All five major salmon species breed in the park, with sockeye considered the most important for subsistence fisheries in the area.

Other wildlife in the park include whitefish, black and brown bears, moose, caribou, wolverines, marmots, porcupines, otters and foxes. Both sport and subsistence hunting of large game is allowed in the park with proper permits.

Lake and river systems
The name of the park refers to two different lake systems within the park. The southern lake system eventually forms the Wood River, which flows into Bristol Bay, and the more northern Tikchik lakes empty into the Nuyakuk River, a tributary of the Nushagak River which also flows into Bristol Bay. The Wood River system of lakes are all directly connected to one another by streams, forming a water trail of over 85 mile. The lakes of these two systems are large and deep, ranging from 15 to 45 mile long and maximum depths of 342 to 940 feet. A dozen of these lakes have over 1000 acre of surface area. There are rivers connecting the lake systems as long as 60 miles, all within park boundaries.

Lake Aleknagik
Wood-Tikchik is one of only two state parks in Southwest Alaska. The other is Lake Aleknagik State Recreation Site at 59.27944°N, -158.62472°W, a small 11 acre park whose primary purpose is to serve as a jumping off point for the larger Wood-Tikchik park. It is referred to by locals as "first lake" as it provides access to the various lakes upstream. The site has a boat launch, gas and aviation fuel sales, and ranger headquarters for both state parks.

Talk:Lacerte

Sorry, the discussion tab was empty, so I didn't know this had been through VfD. My reasoning for a redirect was that it's a duplicate copy of what's in the Intuit article, and if Quicken doesn't warrant its own article, Lacerte certainly doesn't. -- Norvy (talk) 05:50, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Certainly a good point -- I'm not sure if (or for how much longer) Lacerte is notable. Especially since it's a division of Intuit now. The only counterexample I could think of is Intuit Canada, formerly WinTax, which was acquired in 1993. Apparently it draws enough support to have a separate article, although it was largely written by an Intuit Canada employee. Wonder what the outcome of a VfD would be there ;-)

 * Meanwhile, what do you think is the best course of action for the Lacerte article? W/o violating the prior VfD? Jbetak 06:56, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't think a keep VfD vote precludes later merging. Merges should take place without a VfD, and the content is already in the Intuit article.  A redirect would be appropriate here.  -- Norvy (talk) 16:12, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Norvy. Sorry for the delay -- I'm not opposed to a merge of both articles, which effectively means a redirect, since as you have pointed out, the Intuit article already contains all the pertinent info. I was wondering though, if the VfD didn't included "merge" as an option -- I believe I saw two votes for a "merge" there. There were six clear "keeps". What do you think? Should I perhaps contact the voters to see how the feel about it now? Jbetak 02:59, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * If you'd like to contact them, that's fine. VfD (AfD now) explicitly says If a page can serve as a useful redirect or be merged somewhere, do not list it here. Doing so only clutters AfD.  The keep votes won, and the content is preserved, just not in its own article.  -- Norvy (talk) 03:29, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * In response to the question at WP:WQA, no, a prior keep vote does not preclude any future action (not even later deletion). So you should be WP:BOLD and do what you think is best, taking the opinions expressed above into account. It's worth reading the VfD, of course, but you are not bound by it. There's not a lot of need to contact those involved in the debate to check with them since, if they have an interest in the article, they will (or at least should) have it watchlisted. A redirect is usually a good idea if the information is largely duplicated. If someone disagrees with your action, they can discuss it with you (or revert you). -Splash 01:46, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Cool -- Splash, thank you for taking the time to set this straight! Thanks for your cooperation Norvy. Jbetak 05:14, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

City Forum

City Forum was a Hong Kong public forum held weekly on Sunday at the Bandstand of Victoria Park, Causeway Bay. The forum brought together politicians, academics and prominent public figures to discuss current issues, and also included a public Q&A session. Each week, a number of secondary schools were invited to bring pupils to the forum to ask questions and debated on current issues.

The forum also sometimes held in different locations across the territory like Carpenter Road Park and Morse Park as well as public spaces in university campuses.

It was broadcast live by RTHK’s programme of the same name every Sunday at 12:05 (12:05-13:00). The programme was broadcast from 13 April 1980 to 18 July 2021.

Brothers and Uncles
Uncles of Victoria Park (, with "維園" being the short form of "維多利亞公園") is a colloquial term referring to a special group of people in Hong Kong. These people are usually retired pro-Beijing aged men, also known as indigenous communists. They gathered in Victoria Park on Sundays at noon, when City Forum - a public forum which is sponsored and broadcast to the public by Radio Television Hong Kong - is held. Whenever pro-democratic politicians spoke at the forum, they would yell outside the forum venue, so their voices drowned out the speaker's. The most well-known slogan that they usually chanted during the forum was "stray dogs!". However "Uncles of Victoria Park" is not a name of encompassing the entire group of people. There are also conflicts among the "Uncles of Victoria Park" during the forum.

The old Uncles would take the democratic parties in the forum as targets of their backlashes. Sometimes they would attempt to physically attack the politicians with their water bottles and canes. Legislative Councillors Emily Lau and Leung Kwok Hung were once nearly assaulted by the Uncles, and the latter one even had talk-wars with the elderly protesters involving foul languages.

In 2010, due to the negative public sentiment aroused by the legislative reforms and from the lack of progress in universal suffrage in Hong Kong, there had been increased interest in the discussion of public issues. This resulted in heightened interest in the City Forum. There was an emergence of a new class of participants who were passionate about the current affairs, and predominantly male in the age category around 20s-30s, called "Brothers of Victoria Park" (維園阿哥). Even though the title is very similar, their political agenda is at the opposite of the spectrum.

Popular culture
In the late 1990s, there was a television commercial of VITA lemon tea, which is a beverage, shown on the local television channels in Hong Kong. The commercial featured an Uncle of Victoria Park, who yells at the City Forum. Inarguably, the Uncles have become a distinctive icon of Victoria Park, who have a fondness to furiously shout out their complaints in public.

The forum attracted tens of pro-Beijing old men yelling constant expletives outside the venue, especially when there are pro-Democratic politicians participating.

Jane Currie Blaikie Hoge

Jane Currie Blaikie Hoge (July 31, 1811 – August 26, 1890) was a welfare worker, fund raiser, and nurse during the American Civil War. She was a founder of a homeless shelter in Chicago before the war. After the war, she raised funds, helped organize and served on the board of trustees of the Evanston College for Ladies. She served as head of the Woman's Presbyterian Board of Missions of the Northwest for thirteen years.

Early life
Hoge was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 31, 1811, to George Dundas Blaikie and Mary Monroe. She was educated at the Young Ladies College in Philadelphia. She married Abraham Holmes Hoge on June 2, 1831. They had thirteen children, eight of whom lived to maturity. She moved from Pittsburgh to Chicago in 1848.

Social work career
Hoge was a founder of the Chicago Home for the Friendless in 1858. She was active in recruiting nurses for the Union Army during the Civil War and recounted her experiences in her 1867 memoir The Boys in Blue. Hoge co-administered the Chicago Sanitary Commission (1862–1865) with Mary Livermore. The volunteer organization raised funds and collected and distributed medical supplies and food to soldiers of the Union Army.

In 1871, she organized the fund raising for the Evanston Illinois College for Ladies, which opened in that year. She served on the college's board until it merged with Northwestern University in 1874. She was head of the Woman's Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions in the Northwest from 1872 to 1885.

Death and legacy
Jane Currie Blaikie Hoge died in Chicago, Illinois, on August 26, 1890, aged 79.

The article was adjusted accordingly. --Fj42 (talk) 05:21, 24 July 2019 (UTC) I have undone some changes to the section I create in Heritage, I think it is better to reflect the actual structure of the NSW State Heritage Register and not combine listings. Camden Park House and Garden is now distinct and separate from Camden Park Estate and Belgenny Farm. They are owned and operated separately. The correct name of the listed place is St Johns Anglican Church Precinct (no apostrophe). St John's the Evangelist Anglican Church is not the same as the St Johns Anglican Church Precinct. St John's the Evangelist Anglican Church is one of the buildings contained in the the St Johns Anglican Church Precinct. The whole precinct is listed on the NSW SHR, this is important, the Anglican Church opposed the listing of the whole precinct against the wished of the local community.Fj42 (talk) 09:41, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Forest City, New Brunswick

Forest City (2001 pop.: 12) is a rural community in York County, New Brunswick, Canada.

The community has the unusual distinction of sharing its name with the community of Forest City immediately across the Canada–United States border in the state of Maine, connected by the Forest City Border Crossing.

Forest City was once home to 1,000 residents, where its proximity to the waters of East Grand Lake and the softwood forests of the upper St. Croix River watershed provided a lucrative tanning industry that supported an active economy. Remnants of industry can still be found today.

The community houses a Baptist church, cemetery, and a small water control dam.

Notable people
Blaine Higgs, the 34th and current Premier of New Brunswick, lived in Forest City during his childhood. When later speaking about Forest City, he gave a year-round population estimate of seven, additionally saying that it "survives because of the summer activity, not because of any industry or economic development."

The Blue Diamonds (duo)

The Blue Diamonds were an Indonesian and Dutch 1960s rock and roll duo, best known for their million-selling chart-topping single, "Ramona". Indo (Dutch-Indonesian) brothers Ruud de Wolff (12 May 1941 – 18 December 2000) and Riem de Wolff (15 April 1943 – 12 September 2017) founded the group shortly after immigrating to Driebergen-Rijsenburg in the Netherlands in 1949. They were born in Batavia (now Jakarta), Indonesia.

Early career
Called the "Dutch – Indonesian Everly Brothers", the Blue Diamonds covered many Everly Brothers songs, but became famous in 1960 with their version of "Ramona", a song originally written for the 1928 film, Ramona. The song was written for promotional appearances with Dolores del Río (star of the film) but not featured in the film itself. The Blue Diamonds up-tempo version of it (changing it from the original rhythm to a  one) reached the American Billboard Hot 100 at number 72 in 1960. It sold over 250,000 copies in the Netherlands (the first record to ever do so) and over one million copies in Germany by 1961.

Later career
Although their last hit was in 1971, they continued to perform together up until Ruud de Wolff died from bladder cancer at the end of the year 2000. Riem de Wolff continued to perform and release albums until his death in 2017. At the time of his death, Riem had just been diagnosed with lung and liver cancer and had been suffering from the effects of a recent stroke.

Polar mount

A polar mount is a movable mount for satellite dishes that allows the dish to be pointed at many geostationary satellites by slewing around one axis. It works by having its slewing axis parallel, or almost parallel, to the Earth's polar axis so that the attached dish can follow, approximately, the geostationary orbit, which lies in the plane of the Earth's equator.

Description
Polar mounts are popular with home television receive-only (TVRO) satellite systems where they can be used to access the TV signals from many different geostationary satellites. They are also used in other types of installations such as TV, cable, and telecommunication Earth stations although those applications usually use more sophisticated altazimuth or fix angle dedicated mounts. Polar mounts can use a simplified one axis design because geostationary satellite are fixed in the sky relative to the observing dish and their equatorial orbits puts them all in a common line that can be accessed by swinging the satellite dish along a single arc approximately 90 degrees from the mount's polar axis. This also allows them to use a single positioner to move the antenna in the form of a "jackscrew" or horizon-to-horizon gear drive. Polar mounts work in a similar way to astronomical equatorial mounts in that they point at objects at fixed hour angles that follow the astronomical right ascension axis. Like equatorial mounts, polar mounts require polar alignment. They differ from equatorial mounts in that the objects (satellites) they point at are fixed in position and usually require no tracking, just accurate fixed aiming.

Adjustments
When observed from the equator, geostationary satellites follow exactly the imaginary line of the Earth's equatorial plane on the celestial sphere (i.e. they follow the celestial equator). But when observed from other latitudes the fact that geostationary satellites are at a fixed altitude of 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above the Earth's equator, and vary in distance from the satellite dish due to the dish's position in latitude and longitude, means polar mounts need further adjustments to allow one axis slewing:

 * Declination angle: The declination angle or just "declination", from the astronomical term declination for the vertical value (north/south) on the celestial sphere, is a "tipping down" of the dish on the mount to allow it to observe geostationary satellites. When observed from any latitude other than the equator the observer is actually looking "down" on the satellite making it look as if it is just below the celestial equator, an angle from the celestial equator that increases with latitude. Polar mounts have mechanisms that allow the dish to be tipped down in a permanently fixed angle to match the declination angle. Mounts may also have a variable declination control to allow them to point at geosynchronous satellites in inclined orbits since those satellites have a constantly changing declination. (Adding such a declination axis to a polar mount results in an equatorial mount).
 * Declination offset: Because satellites toward the Eastern and Western sky are further away from the observing antenna, there is a change in the declination angle: towards the eastern and western limits the satellites get closer to the celestial equator because they are further out along the lines of perspective. To aim at this apparent shift in the arc of geostationary satellites polar mounts incorporate a slight offset in the angle of their polar axis towards the equator, called a declination offset, to more closely follow this arc. Slewing around a fixed axis which is not parallel with the Earth's rotation axis causes the dish to aim at a track in the equatorial plane which is (unless the dish is on the equator) an ellipse rather than a circle. Since the geostationary orbit is circular, the mount does not aim precisely at satellites at all longitudes. These slight differences in tracking have negligible effect on home C band and  TVRO dishes since they have relatively wide-beam designs.

Christian ministry

In Christianity, ministry is an activity carried out by Christians to express or spread their faith, the prototype being the Great Commission. The Encyclopedia of Christianity defines it as "carrying forth Christ's mission in the world", indicating that it is "conferred on each Christian in baptism." It is performed by most Christians. This is distinguished from the "office of minister", to which specific individuals who feel a certain vocation. It can signify this activity as a whole, or specific activities, or organizations within a church dedicated to specific activities. Some ministries are identified formally as such, and some are not; some ministry is directed towards members of the church, and some towards non-members. See also Apostolates.

Age-specific ministry
As churches attempt to meet the needs of their congregations, they often separate their members into groups according to age categories. Age-specific groups meet for religious study including Sunday school programs, fellowship, and other activities. These age divisions may include:
 * Nursery
 * Pre-school
 * Children, generally elementary age students
 * Youth, generally middle and high school students
 * Young Adults, designed for university-age students
 * Adults, which is often broken up into single adults, couples ministry, men's and women's ministries, and senior adults.

Advantages and disadvantages
There are several advantages to the concept of age-specific ministries.
 * Many parents / caregivers are glad to allow the church to be in charge of the spiritual enrichment of their children. Similarly, they are used to using programs for the development of their children such as weekday childcare, preschool, and grade school and enjoy the ability to continue a similar format in church.
 * These ministries allow churches to provide 'age-appropriate' activities and content to maximize spiritual education and growth as well as peer group fellowship.
 * Ministries often provide fellowship activities outside of the church service that encourage the involvement of non-church going friends and relatives.

Age-specific ministry does have certain disadvantages, mostly stemming from the separation of children from the primary church functions.
 * In terms of religious education, the 'socialization' of children into the faith community is one important approach that requires connecting the children and family with the wider congregation.
 * These ministries may increase the possibility of child abuse within the church as it does increase the amount of time children spend without the supervision of their particular parent or caretaker or the presence of the congregation at large. It is worth noting, however, that many churches hire certified teachers to fill these positions and most perform background checks on anyone that may come into supervisory contact with children.
 * Certain forms of these ministries reduce the role that "family life" plays in the development of children, because of the separation of differing age groups into differently facilitated programs. In some ministries, the children are also placed separate from the rest of the congregation, such as during Sunday school and youth programs. Many of these programs, however, take place at different times from the primary church service, and in many churches, only children of elementary school age and younger are separated from the main service to provide more relevant material to their age group.

Creative and performing arts
Nearly all churches feature some form of worship music, whether from a choir, orchestra, or worship band, whether accompanied or a cappella. Religious organizations also incorporate other forms of creative and performance arts into their services or programs.

Community service and outreach
Many churches sponsor ministries designed to reach out others on a local and global scale, usually grouped under the heading of missions. There are many organizations which perform missions on a fully funded and organized level, such as the North American Mission Board, operated by the Southern Baptist Convention and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC).

However, some Christian churches and ministries have evolved to take on a larger role in the community service and global outreach programs. Community service ministries may include a "soup kitchen", homeless ministry, crisis center, food pantry, unplanned pregnancy center, senior visitation program, new parent support, Animal Chaplains, or a number of other specialized ministries. These specialized ministries can include formal or informal approaches to intentionally interacting with others, encouraging, counseling, and providing relational care to them.

If activities such as these are held at a church but are not organized primarily by its members and do not contain religious overtones, the activity would better be classified as church reordering, rather than ministry.

Sacramental ministry, Catholic Church
Theologians differentiate between Religious ministry and Apostolates. Ministry, for Catholics, pertains to the administration of the Sacraments, and their appropriate ministers are as follows:

A final, and most proper, use of the term "ministries" pertains to those instituted by the bishop:

 * Acolyte (May administer the Eucharist)
 * Lector (May read the readings at Mass, except for the Gospel which is reserve for a priest or deacon)

Ordained ministers are those who have received Holy Orders: deacons, priests, and bishops. Note that a bishop can do anything a priest can do, and a priest can do anything a deacon can do.

 * Christianity
 * Christian theology
 * Theology of relational care
 * Minister of religion
 * Sermon
 * Ministry of Jesus
 * Great Commission
 * Homeless ministry
 * Parachurch organization

History and growth
Campbelltown was founded in 1820, named after Elizabeth Macquarie née Campbell, wife of the then Governor Lachlan Macquarie. The town was one of a series of south-western settlements established by Macquarie at that time; the others include Ingleburn and.

Campbelltown Council was originally incorporated on 21 January 1882. The present boundaries of the City of Campbelltown were largely formed in 1949, following the amalgamation of the Municipalities of Ingleburn (incorporated in April 1896) and Campbelltown, as part of a rationalisation of local government areas across New South Wales following World War II. Campbelltown was presented with its own coat of arms in 1969. The coat of arms were based those on the arms of the Campbell family in Scotland.

Campbelltown was designated as a satellite city and a regional capital for the south west of Sydney in the early 1960s in the Sydney Region Outline Plan, prepared by the Planning Commission of New South Wales. There was extensive building and population growth in the intervening time and the government surrounded the township with areas which were set aside for public and private housing and industry.

Campbelltown was declared a city on 4 May 1968 by the Hon. Pat Morton, Minister for Local Government and Highways. That same day saw the arrival of the first electric train to Campbelltown from Sydney.

As a city, Campbelltown honoured the 1st Signals Regiment (now the 1st Joint Support Unit) with the medieval custom of the Freedom of the city. The mayor, Alderman Clive Tregear, wanted to recognise the contribution to the units based at the Ingleburn Army Barracks. The regiment marched through Campbelltown until it got transferred to Queensland in the 1980s.

Opened in 2005, the Campbelltown Arts Centre is a cultural facility of Campbelltown City Council that is partially funded by the New South Wales Government through Create NSW.

Silliman National Writers Workshop

The Silliman University National Writers Workshop (SUNWW) is an annual creative writing workshop that was established in 1962 by the late Edilberto K. Tiempo and National Artist for Literature Edith L. Tiempo of Silliman University.

The SUNWW is the longest-running creative writing workshop in Asia. It is commonly regarded as the most prestigious one in the entire region, having been able to produce many of the most influential and renowned names in Philippine literature.

Practically all Filipino writers of any importance have joined the Silliman Writers Workshop at one time or another, either as fellows, lecturers, or panelists. Being a pioneer, the Silliman Writers Workshop occupies a premier position in the history of creative writing in the Philippines.

With the workshop's integrity and tradition over the years, it has become a rite of passage for the country's finest writers.

History
The Silliman University National Writers Workshop in Dumaguete is the oldest creative writing program in Asia. In 2009, Dr. Edith Tiempo was named Director Emeritus of the National Writers Workshop.

Apart from Silliman University, over the years the Workshop has received support from the Ford Foundation, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the CAP Family of Companies, the Creative Writing Foundation, the Dumaguete Literary Arts (DuLA) Group, and various cultural institutes based in the United States and Europe.

Last 2010 marked a milestone in the development of Philippine literature and the writing craft, as the Silliman University National Writers Workshop, headed by its first director-in-residence, Dr. Rowena Tiempo-Torrevillas, and the visionary Dr. Ben S. Malayang III, University President, first invited a writer beyond the Philippines to sit in as a guest panelist for a week to enrich the workshop by infusing Asian consciousness. The first international guest writer was Hong Kong's Xu Xi. For 2011, it is Singapore's Kirpal Singh. For 2012, it is Nathan Aw Ming Kun from the Singapore Management University (SMU).

Also in 2010, Silliman University welcomed the panelists, writing fellows, workshop alumni, and guests to the Writers Village at Camp Lookout, Valencia.

Due to decreases in budgetary allocations, the Silliman National Writers Workshop (for some time) disassociated itself from Silliman University, and started to get its funding from the National Commission of Culture and Arts (NCCA). Its name was changed to the Dumaguete National Writers Workshop. In 2008, however, the organization of the workshop returned to Silliman University's English Department, with additional support from the NCCA, as well as local businesses from Dumaguete and other literature and art enthusiasts. Eventually, the workshop was rechristened with the name Silliman University National Writers Workshop.

In 2012, the SUNWW was given the Tanging Parangal in the Gawad CCP Para sa Sining by the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the highest distinction given by CCP in recognition of an individual or an organization's contributions to Philippine arts and culture.

Legacy
National Artist for Literature Cirilo Bautista described the legacy of the SUNWW, "It is an understatement to say that it [SUNWW] has a significant influence on the growth of our literature. The number of applicants increases each year, and the works of writers who have passed through it continue to enrich our arts and letters.

The SUNWW has trained several generations of writers, many of whom are now influencing the shape, direction, and development of Philippine literature. Many of the SUNWW alumni have won prestigious literary prizes such as the Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature, the Nick Joaquin Literary Awards, and the Philippines Free Press Literary Contest, among others.

Fellowship
The SUNWW draws numerous applicants from the entire country to compete for the fellowship. Fellowships are offered to emerging Filipino writers in various genres namely fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and drama.

The first screening panel, composed of several members of the Creative Writing Foundation, selects the writing fellows for the summer based on the manuscripts submitted by the applicants. These selected manuscripts are forwarded to the director of the workshop, who does the final screening and facilitates the deliberation before approving the final lineup of writing fellows.

The writing fellowship covers board and lodging for the full 22 days of the duration of the entire workshop. The SUNWW is held for three weeks every summer in the Mary Rose Lamb Sobrepeña Writers Village, Dumaguete.

Application
The applicant must submit the following requirements:

Original manuscripts consisting of at least 3-5 short stories, or, 3-5 essays, or 3-5 one-act plays, or 7-10 poems (stories, plays, and poems in English are preferred); a cover letter addressed to the director; a notarized certification of originality of works a recommendation letter from a renowned writer or literature professor; two 2x2 pictures; and a brief biodata or resume.

It is mandated that all submissions of manuscripts are done anonymously. Names of the author or aliases must not appear on any of the manuscripts to preserve the rigorous standards of the workshop's screening processes.

Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency

Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency (MTP deficiency or MTPD) is an autosomal recessive fatty acid oxidation disorder that prevents the body from converting certain fats to energy, particularly during periods without food. People with this disorder have inadequate levels of an enzyme that breaks down a certain group of fats called long-chain fatty acids.

Signs and symptoms
The presentation of mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency may begin during infancy, features that occur are: low blood sugar, weak muscle tone, and liver problems. Infants with this disorder are at risk for heart problems, breathing difficulties, and pigmentary retinopathy. Signs and symptoms of mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency that may begin after infancy include hypotonia, muscle pain, a breakdown of muscle tissue, and a loss of sensation in the extremities called peripheral neuropathy. Some who have MTP deficiency show a progressive course associated with myopathy, and recurrent rhabdomyolysis.

Genetics
The genetics of mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency is based on mutations in the HADHA and HADHB genes which cause this disorder. These genes each provide instructions for making part of an enzyme complex called mitochondrial trifunctional protein. This enzyme complex functions in mitochondria, the energy-producing centers within cells: mitochondrial trifunctional protein contains three enzymes that each perform a different function. This enzyme complex is required to metabolize a group of fats called long-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids are stored in the body's fat tissues and are a major source of energy for the heart and muscles. During periods of fasting, fatty acids are also an important energy source for the liver and other tissues.

Mutations in the HADHA or HADHB genes that cause mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency disrupt all functions of this enzyme complex. Without enough of this enzyme complex, long-chain fatty acids cannot be metabolized. As a result, these fatty acids are not converted to energy, which can lead to some features of this disorder. Long-chain fatty acids may also build up and damage the liver, heart, and muscles. This abnormal buildup causes other symptoms of mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency.

The mechanism of this condition indicates that the mitochondrial trifunction protein catalyzes 3 steps in mitochondrial beta-oxidation of fatty acids: long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD), long-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase, and long-chain thiolase activities. Trifunctional protein deficiency is characterized by decreased activity of all 3 enzymes. Clinically, trifunctional protein deficiency usually results in sudden unexplained infant death, cardiomyopathy, or skeletal myopathy.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis of mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency is often confirmed using tandem mass spectrometry. Genetic counseling is available for this condition. Additionally the following exams are available:
 * CBC
 * Urine test

Treatment
Management for mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency entails the following:
 * Avoiding factors that might precipitate condition
 * Glucose
 * Low fat/high carbohydrate nutrition

Talk:City of Campbelltown (New South Wales)

Separate page for the Local Government Area
As per discussion at Talk:List of Sydney suburbs, I have created a separate page for the City of Campbelltown, the Local Government Area. -- Ianblair23 06:00, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Naming Issue
It seems we have problem. The City of Campbelltown is also an LGA in Adelaide. And the alternative name -- "Campbelltown City Council" -- is employed by both. A look around the websites of both tells me that "City of Campbell" hasn't been retired by either. The Adelaide LGA is the elder, but the NSW one is the more populous. What to do? --Cyberjunkie | Talk 06:51, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * No problems we'll simply add ", New South Wales" and/or ", South Australia". I encounted the same problem with the "City of Canterbury" and the "City of Liverpool". City of Canterbury points to the Local Government District in Kent, England with City of Canterbury, New South Wales mentioned before the article. City of Liverpool is a disambiguation page with City of Liverpool, New South Wales listed under Australia.
 * I'm personally not fussed whether "City of Campbelltown" points to either the NSW LGA, SA LGA or a disambiguation page as long as its regularly patrolled for what links there. -- Ianblair23 07:05, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay. I think it should point to a disambiguation page. I'll probably designate the SA LGA "City of Campbelltown (South Australia)" instead of "City of Campbelltown, South Australia". --Cyberjunkie | Talk 08:46, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Cleaning suburbs in LGAs to remove redlinks
Hi, Can people who know or care about this LGA please have a look at this message and see if they can please help solve any redlinks in the "suburbs in this LGA" section of this page? -- All the best, Nickj (t) 08:18, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I would suggest removing a few of these suburbs, and if no-one has an objection I'll come back in a few days and do so. I suggest removing Campbelltown North and East Campbelltown, as they are just extensions of the suburb of Campbelltown, removing Glenquarie and Macarthur Square as they only refer to shopping centres and don't actually exist as suburbs in the same way as any other, and remove Macquarie Heights and Leumeah Heights, as those articles can be encompassed within Macquarie Fields and Leumeah. Manaluka is inexplicable, as that is a former name for Raby. As for Glenlee, Sherwood Hills and Maryfields, I have never heard of any of these suburbs. Braue 15:23, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you! (I would have replied sooner but was on holidays). Many of those names you have never heard of I think came from the department of local government, and they seemed to take a very "inclusionist" point of view as to what constitutes a suburb (i.e. I suspect if anyone whinged, or they even thought anyone might whinge, they added it, just to be safe). The result is that they are a number of places listed as suburbs which aren't, and removing those is a good idea. (Or to put it another way, the list of Sydney suburbs should be almost totally complete, so any red links are either errors that somehow slipped through the net, or aren't suburbs). -- All the best, Nickj (t) 05:35, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

External links re-modified
I checked the above link, which is a historical list of Mayors to 2010. I therefore researched and found the current list of mayors and replaced the link.
