Wild Honey (U2 song)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Wild Honey (U2 song), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Wild Honey (U2 song) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason: Article fails to meet notability guidelines from WP:MUSIC#Songs To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Wild Honey (U2 song), please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Wild Honey (U2 song) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 02:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

It will follow the Apps for Democracy open source event at GWU. For details or to RSVP if you haven't already, see Meetup/DC 7.

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16
The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

An exciting month of wiki events!
 Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best, James Hare

Request for opinion
Hi Amccaf1: Sorry to trouble you, but I could not help but notice your expression of affection for TOS on the Wikipedians who like Star Trek: The Original Series page, and so I would be curious of your thoughts on the notability of a Star Trek author for whom I just created a Wikipedia article -- which may be promptly destined for the trash pile. As a newcomer here at Wikipedia, my first article attempt was indeed recommended for deletion within hours of its creation by a senior user named JzG who seems to me to be overly hostile and dismissive of Star Trek, calling it fancruft (= trivial, obscure, of importance to just a tiny group of fanatics). Since you are a Trek fan, if it is also your good faith opinion that my subject is in no way deserving of an article on this site; and you could let me know, I would feel much more comfortable with the justice of the pending deletion action. My proposed article may be seen here, assuming you visit the page soon enough ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Gurian Kind Regards. Tosresearcher (talk) 05:06, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Thurl Bailey

Thurl Lee Bailey (born April 7, 1961) is an American former professional basketball player whose National Basketball Association (NBA) career spanned from 1983 to 1999 with the Utah Jazz and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Bailey has been a broadcast analyst for the Utah Jazz and the University of Utah— in addition to work as an inspirational speaker, singer, songwriter, and film actor. Bailey garnered the nickname "Big T" during his basketball career.

Basketball career
Bailey attended North Carolina State University and was a leader in the Wolfpack's miracle run to the 1983 NCAA Championship. That year, under head coach Jim Valvano, he led the Wolfpack in both scoring and rebounding. The Utah Jazz selected him as the 7th pick of the 1983 NBA draft. Jazz management reported that he was selected for the quality of his character, as well as the quality of his game. This was the beginning of 16 years of playing professional basketball, with 12 of those years in the NBA. Bailey’s career-high points game came on March 14, 1988, when he scored 41 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in a 116-115 win over the Denver Nuggets.

Bailey was a starter with the Jazz for most of his first two seasons, but with the drafting of Karl Malone, Jazz coach Frank Layden made Bailey one of the first options off the bench. As a result, Bailey had his two finest NBA seasons in 1987–88 (19.6 ppg, played in all 82 games and started 10 times) and 1988–89 (19.5 ppg, 82 games, 3 starts). Both seasons saw him finish second in Sixth Man of the Year voting. During Bailey’s Utah tenure, he played in 665 games, missing only 4 games he was eligible to play in.

On November 25, 1991, he was traded by the Jazz along with a 1992 second-round draft pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Tyrone Corbin. Bailey holds the unusual distinction of playing 84 combined regular-season games during the 1991–92 season for both teams. He played for almost three seasons in Minnesota until 1994 when he left the NBA and played in the Greek League (playing for Panionios) for the 1994–95 season. From 1995 to 1998 he played in the Italian League for Polti Cantù in 1995–97 and Stefanel Milano in 1997–98, before returning to the Jazz as a free agent on January 21, 1999. He retired after the end of the 1998–99 season.

Career after the NBA
Bailey is a public speaker, a broadcast analyst for the Utah Jazz and the University of Utah, an actor, and a singer/songwriter. Bailey's albums include Faith In Your Heart (1998), The Gift of Christmas (2001), and I'm Not the Same (2002).

Bailey is chairman of Big T Productions, Fertile Earth (which has a patent pending on a fertilizer that works through irrigation sprinkler systems), and FourLeaf Films.

He works with various charities, including Make-A-Wish, D.A.R.E., and the Happy Factory.

Coaching career
Bailey continues to coach in the Salt Lake City area using the private coaching service, CoachUp.

Politics
Bailey gave the opening prayer at the 2008 Republican National Convention.

Personal life
Bailey was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in a high-crime neighborhood of Capitol Heights, Maryland bordering D.C.

Bailey is the father of six children. He has a daughter, Chonell, with his high school sweetheart and two sons, Thurl, Jr., and TeVaun from his first marriage. Bailey and his wife, Sindi (née Southwick), live in Highland, Utah with their three children BreElle, Brendan, and Bryson. His son Brendan played basketball at Marquette.

Religion
Bailey was raised Baptist. While playing basketball in Italy, Bailey decided to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was baptized on December 31, 1995.

Jerry Yeagley

Jerry Yeagley (born January 10, 1940, in Lebanon, Pennsylvania) is a former soccer player and coach. He was the coach of the Indiana Hoosiers men's soccer team from 1973 to 2003. His teams won six NCAA Championships and a Division I record 544 games. He is considered the most successful collegiate men's soccer coach in the history of the sport. His overall career record was 544-101-45 (.828). He never had a losing season as a head coach. Yeagley was also an NCAA Champion in soccer as a player, winning the national championship with West Chester in 1961.

Coaching career
After earning a Master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1963, Yeagley went to Indiana University as a Physical Education instructor and men's soccer coach. The team had been a club since 1947, but Yeagley's goal was to develop it into a varsity program. For ten years, with no money from the University for Yeagley's salary, team travel expenses, recruiting or uniforms, Yeagley, his wife Marilyn and the players lined the field, hung signs on campus and washed the players' uniforms.

Once the program gained varsity status and the full support of the university in 1973, Yeagley's teams quickly became a national power. Indiana reached the NCAA final in just its fourth season as a varsity program in 1976. In fact, through his 31-year career, Yeagley took every one of his four-year players to the NCAA College Cup, soccer's version of the Final Four. His teams made 28 NCAA tournament appearances, 16 appearances in the College Cup, and 12 appearances in the national final, while winning 10 Big Ten championships and 6 National championships — 1982, 1983, 1988, 1998, 1999, 2003 — the last one in his final season.

From 1973 through 2003 no team won more NCAA Championships or appeared in more College Cups than Indiana. The Hoosiers' longest stint away from the national semifinal was three years (1985–87) and they followed that brief drought by winning the 1988 NCAA crown. Yeagley led the Hoosiers to 28 NCAA Tournament berths, the third-most in NCAA history, including one in each of his final 17 seasons. His Hoosier teams owned a 68-22 (.756) record in tournament play, the best winning percentage of any school.

Yeagley's career came to a fitting and magical end in 2003 as his Hoosiers went unbeaten over their final 18 games and winning the NCAA Championship. The title was the sixth for the program under Yeagley and in the process, he became the all-time winningest coach in collegiate soccer history with 544 wins.

Honors and recognition
Yeagley won NSCAA National Coach of the Year honors an unprecedented six times (1976, 1980, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2003). He was named Big Ten Coach of the Year an unmatched eight times (1993, 1994, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003). In 1989, he earned the highest honor a college coach can receive when he was inducted into the United States Soccer Federation Hall of Fame. Yeagley received the prestigious Bill Jeffrey Award in 1987, given for his unique contributions to intercollegiate soccer. In 1997, he received the NSCAA's Honor Award, the organization's highest tribute. In 2008, he was inducted into the NSCAA Hall of Fame.

Upon his retirement in 2003, the soccer field at Indiana was renamed "Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium".

In 2005, NSCAA honored him with an award in his namesake, the Jerry Yeagley Award.

Coaching tree
Yeagley has helped inspire a number of his players to become coaches. There are more than 20 former IU players or coaches in the collegiate coaching ranks, while professional coaches who played under Yeagley include Caleb Porter, Mike Anhaeuser, Juergen Sommer and Pat Noonan.

Yeagley's son Todd played for him at Indiana from 1991 to 1994, winning the 1994 Hermann Trophy from the Missouri Athletic Club and being named a First-Team All-American. After playing for the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer from 1996 to 2002, Todd returned to Indiana as a volunteer assistant coach during his father's last season. On December 18, 2009, Todd Yeagley was named Head Coach at Indiana.

Help request
I do not want an edit war. I am closely related to Rodney Howard-Browne and was directed to add the adminhelp tag. I know Rodney has some strange things happen in his meeting but animal noises is not and has never been one of them. Rodney has even voiced heavy opposition in his meetings about such practices. Rhode Island Red has sourced an older news article as a source for the animal noises, but even in that article it rightly stated that the animal noises followed the Toronto Blessing which Rodney wasn't apart of but influenced the leader in some way. He is stating that I need a source "Please stop edit warring and do not alter this material unless you can find reliable sources that support your contentions." How am I supposed to find a news article that will state there are no animal noises occurring in Rodney's meeting? I can however source a newer article from a more reliable source that does go into detail exactly what occurs in the meeting. The article is even sourced in Rodney's wiki page already. It describes a whole lot of things "Many dropped in fits of laughter. Others were silent, eyes closed, in what seemed to be meditative states. Some wept uncontrollably or spoke in tongues, shouting or muttering words believed to have been brought on by the Holy Spirit. Still others shook as if they were having seizures." But what is noticeably absent in the description is there was no animal noises. This is the article. Is there any way to use that as a source against the animal noises, or some other unknown solution? Obelisk29 (talk) 21:03, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Obelisk29! I understand your frustration. I was at Brownsville and still heard inaccurate statements about what took place there, mistakenly connecting the outpouring there to Toronto. A couple of questions. The Christianity Today article "implies" that RHB has animal sounds in his services. In my opinion, shabby journalism on the part of Carnes. Do you have access to the full Christianity Today article found here? If you could review that article for more information, it would help. You have stated that RHB is an outspoken opponent of animal noises. While you state that you "know" this because you have a personal or familial relationship with him, we cannot rely on your personal knowledge. (See WP:OR). Has his opposition ever been offered in an interview of any kind? You've stated that you have videos. Are they on YouTube? Can this claim be verified in order to counter the claim by CT that implies the presence of the animal sounds? Let me know your thoughts here. BTW, I'm not an administrator. Your request is not applicable to administrator tasks, since anybody can offer help regarding your concerns here. Until we can verify that RHB opposed animal sounds, I would recommend that you just take a break from the article. It will still be here when we can offer some verification. I have some appointments coming up in 30 minutes, so I'll be gone for a few hours, but will come back later to take a look and check some of the resources that I have.

Talk:Portrait of Madame X

Untitled
As the current article is about the Sargent painting rather than about Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau herself (who, by the way, was also painted by other artists of the era), I propose moving this article to something like "Portrait of Madame X". Other thoughts? -- Infrogmation 19:15, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It was previously under the title "Portrait of Madame X" but it's now a redirect from that. Does anyone know why? And since it is an article about the painting rather than the woman, I think it ought to be under the "Portrait" title. --Kerowyn 23:42, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * As no objections have surfaced, I will move the current "Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau" to "Portrait of Madame X", a title reflecting the actual subject of the article. I will then make a minimal stub start on "Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau" which I hope will be filled out into an article as it should be. -- Infrogmation 14:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

??? was she really " notorious "  or did the writer   mean   ' notable '    82.38.97.206 10:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)mikeL

Scandal
i didn't understand -after reading this article- what was the reason of the scandal. i can't see anything in the painting scandalous. and nothing in the article expresses the "bad thing" to cause a scandal...

85.99.182.150 (talk) 09:00, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree. She has a sharp nose, unmentioned in the article, but that's not scandalous. It would help if the article could explain what it is about the picture that makes it scandalous and offended the subject's mother (and was, presumably, unnoticed by artist and subject before the picture's public appearrance). Maproom (talk) 08:05, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I also agree that more details as to why "in 1884, people were shocked and scandalized". Such discussion should probably come in the "Reception" section, where the scandal is discussed. There is some mention in the "Description" section that "At the time, her pose was considered sexually suggestive." I assume that was the reason for the shock and scandal, but if so, that should be made explicit. Any additional factors contributing to the reason for the scandal should also be mentioned. - It would also be valuable to put the painting in context with similar such paintings of the 1880's; to my modern eye, there are classic works of art - even contemporary works like Bouguereau's - which might be considered more sexualized than this bland-by-modern-standards painting. Why the scandal for this one? -- 162.238.240.55 (talk) 17:15, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * It was the time in history when women of high morals didn't show much skin. It explains more on this website;
 * Www.khanacademy.org
 * ￼The gown’s plunging neckline was considered too provocative for the times, and its right strap – which originally was shown to have slipped off the shoulder – ultimately led to Sargent repainting it in its proper position to appease outraged viewers and Gautreau’s own family.
 * ps://www.k "td%20Gautreau 's%20own%20family. Ilahmache (talk) 22:51, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

I have also come here for this reason. This is a serious problem. Someone had better bloody explain what the scandal was about!

 * Me three. What was traumatic, bare ankles or something else that folks in the 21st Century can't recognize? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.8.171.23 (talk) 01:09, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

 * What's missing here, and the cause of the confusion (and making this a presently crap article) is that the originally shown version of the painting had one of her dress straps down; that was the cause of the scandal (though the plunging neckline didn't help), because in the subtle and propriety-driven symbology of the era, it strongly implied to various viewers that she'd just been having sex or was just about to have some. While something like that would be fine for anonymous modeling (various art of the Nouveau period leaned a little erotic or at least eros-implicating), it was not fine for a recognizable – and married – high-society woman. Sargent repainted it later in response to the controversy, to put the strap back in the "proper" position. 2001:5A8:4260:3100:24B9:561B:1277:F954 (talk) 07:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856–1925 London) - Madame X (Madame Pierre Gautreau) - Google Art Project.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 15, 2014.

If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:13, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Query - skin color and muscle definition.
The Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau article mentions that she controlled her coloring by dying her hair and brows and using lavender-tinted powder on her skin (it would disguise sallow skin like lavender-colored shampoo controls yellowness in white-grey hair, because lavender and yellow are complementary colors). There's no mention of arsenic, so maybe she didn't use it? Many Victorian women ate arsenic trioxide or used it in powdered form for that aristocratic pallor of their skin. There were deaths, I believe.

But what about her muscle definition? Her shoulders and arms look more developed than I would expect for woman of the aristocratic idle rich. The Antonio de la Gandara portrait lacks that definition, but he painted about 14 years later. Was there no mention among the critics of that muscle definition? Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 06:32, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Reception and Analysis
I modified the "reception" section to add some more detail, and added an "analysis" section, since there's a lot of historical context involved in why the painting was so scandalous. I'm quite new to editing Wikipedia, would love feedback on this! Remainsuncertain (talk) 01:41, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * This was added to an old comment. I moved it here so it would be seen as a recent thread of comments. David notMD (talk) 17:32, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Namtso

Namtso or Lake Nam (officially: Namco; Tenger nuur; ; ; “Heavenly Lake” in European literature: Tengri Nor, 30.7°N, 90.55°W) is a mountain lake on the border between Damxung County of Lhasa prefecture-level city and Baingoin County of Nagqu Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, approximately 112 km NNW of Lhasa.

Geography
Namtso (Namco) is a lake that first formed during the Paleogene age, as a result of Himalayan tectonic plate movements. The lake lies at an elevation of 4,718 m, and has a surface area of 1,900 km2. This salt lake is the largest lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. However, it is not the largest lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. That title belongs to Qinghai Lake (more than twice the size of Namtso); which lies more than 1,000 km to the north-east in Qinghai.

Namtso has five uninhabited islands of reasonable size, in addition to one or two rocky outcrops. The islands have been used for spiritual retreat by pilgrims who walk over the lake's frozen surface at the end of winter, carrying their food with them. They spend the summer there, unable to return to shore again until the water freezes the following winter. This practice is no longer permitted by Chinese authorities.

The largest of the islands is in the northwest corner of the lake, and is about 2100 m long and 800 m wide, rising to just over 100 m in the middle. At its closest point it is about 3.1 km from the shore.

Climate
The weather at Namtso is subject to abrupt, sudden change and snowstorms are very common across the Nyainqêntanglha range.

Namtso has a Köppen climate classification of alpine or tundra climate (Koppen ET).

Other Features
Namtso is renowned as one of the most beautiful places in the Nyainqêntanglha mountain range. Its cave hermitages have for centuries been the destination of Tibetan pilgrims. A surfaced road across Laken Pass at 5186 m was completed to the lake in 2005, enabling easy access from Lhasa and the development of tourism at the lake. Settlements in the area include Dobjoi, Donggar and Cha'gyungoinba. The Tashi Dor monastery is located at the southeastern corner of the lake.

Around the area's natural elements, historical and anthropological background, a 2010 romantic drama 香格里拉 Shangri-La, starring China's popular actor Hu Ge, was broadcast at CCTV1 and received positive reviews. Some scenes in the 2002 Hong Kong film The Touch were filmed at the lake. Namtso Lake was featured in Episode 4, The Roof of the World, of BBC TV series: Himalaya with Michael Palin.

Asteroid
Asteroid 248388 Namtso, discovered by Italian astronomer Vincenzo Casulli in 2005, was named after the lake. The official was published by the Minor Planet Center on 5 October 2017 (M.P.C. 106504).

Spanish Marine Infantry

The Marine Infantry (Infantería de Marina) is the naval infantry branch of the Spanish Navy responsible for conducting amphibious warfare. Fully integrated into the Spanish Navy's structure, the branch's history dates back to 1537 when Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor formed the Compañías Viejas del Mar de Nápoles, making it the oldest marine unit in existence.

First period
The Infantería de Armada (Navy Infantry) was created by Charles V in 1537, when he permanently assigned the Compañías Viejas del Mar de Nápoles (Old Sea Companies of Naples) to the Escuadras de Galeras del Mediterráneo (Mediterranean Galley Squadrons). But it was Philip II who established today's concept of a landing force. This was a pure naval power projection ashore by forces deployed from ships that could maintain their ability to fight despite being based on board. This is the period of the famous Tercios (literally "One Third", due to its organisation: one third of musketeers, one third of swordsmen and the final third of pikemen):
 * Tercio Nuevo de la Mar de Nápoles.
 * Tercio de la Armada del Mar Océano.
 * Tercio de Galeras de Sicilia.
 * Tercio Viejo del Mar Océano y de Infantería Napolitana.

Of the Tercios above, the first is considered the core of the Spanish Marine Infantry, and it bears in its coat of arms two crossed anchors that became the Corps' coat of arms until 1931.

In 1704, the Tercios became regiments: Regimiento de Bajeles (Vessel's Regiments), Regimiento de la Armada (Navy Regiment), R. del Mar de Nápoles (Naples' Sea Regiment), and R. de Marina de Sicilia (Sicily's Navy Regiment), detaching some small units to the Army, and the main body remained in the Navy becoming the Cuerpo de Batallones de Marina (Navy Battalions Corps).

The battles that the marines served in during this period included:
 * Algiers expedition (1541).
 * Battle of Lepanto (1571).
 * Conquest of the Azores (1583).
 * 3rd Spanish Armada (1597).
 * Recapture of Salvador (1625).

Second period
In 1717, the Cuerpo de Batallones de Marina was definitively settled and organized into a 12-battalion corps with a corresponding regimental HQ overseeing the supervision of these units. The first ones were named: Armada, Bajeles, Marina, Oceano, Mediterráneo and Barlovento. Their mission was to form the "Main body of landing columns and ship's soldiers tasks" in a time that boarding was still a critical part of battle at sea. They were also gun crews. In 1728 the battalion Mediterráneo and in 1731 the battalion Barlovento were disbanded. In 1741 there were eight battalions and ten years later another was added. In 1740 a marine artillery corps was founded. At mid 18th century there were 12,000 marine infantry and 3,000 marine gunners. The infantry formed boarding parties while the gunners manned the ship cannons. As needed landing parties were formed. Both corps also garrisoned the navy's coastal fortresses. During the War of Spanish Independence both the marine infantry and the marine artillery was reorganized as an administrative division of seven regiments, mainly fighting on land as part of army divisions in an operational role. In a 1793, a woman, Ana Maria de Soto, disguised as a man, and answering to the name of Antonio Maria de Soto, enlisted in the 6th company of 11° Battalion of the Navy, being licensed with pension and honors in 1798, when she was discovered to be a woman.

The major actions they took part in during this period were:

 * Spanish conquest of Sardinia (1717).
 * Spanish conquest of Oran (1732).
 * Battle of Cartagena de Indias (1741).
 * Siege of Havana (1762).
 * Invasion of Algiers (1775).
 * Siege of Pensacola (1781).
 * Siege of Toulon (1793).
 * Ferrol Expedition (1800).
 * British invasions of the River Plate (1806).

Third period
The increasing efficiency of the naval artillery made boarding obsolete after the Napoleonic Wars, the marine infantry and marine artillery was merged in 1827 into a brigade,  Brigada Real de Marina  with focus on artillery. The brigade that consisted of two battalions was renamed the  Real Cuerpo de Artillería de Marina in 1833. In the First Carlist War 1834-39, three battalions of marine infantry were organized, serving as field infantry, with an additional battalion raised to reinforce the Royal Guards in Madrid. In 1839 the corps was renamed Cuerpo de Artillería and Infanteriá de Marina. In 1841 the infantry was transferred to the army. The marine artillery remained in the navy under the name of  Cuerpo de Artillería de Marina . However, in 1848, the naval infantry was re-established by the formation of a new Corps,  Cuerpo de Infantería de Marina, , then as an infantry regiment organized into three battalions and the regimental HQ, as well as support units and the band. The marine artillery was abolished in 1857. The five battalions of marine infantry were reorganized in 1869 to three regiments, one for each naval station. By this time, the mission of the marines changed from naval garrison troops, to a landing force serving mainly in the colonies.

During the Third Carlist War 1872–1876 the marines fought as field infantry. In 1879, the marine infantry academy, the Academia General Central de Infantería de Marina was founded. The colonial wars in the Philippines and on Cuba, with constant landing operations, lead to a reorganization of the marines into three brigades of two regiments each. In 1886 the marines contained four brigades, each with four tercios, while the reorganization of 1893 created three regiments of two battalions each. During the Philippine Revolution and the Spanish–American War the marines fought as part of army divisions.

Though Spain's empire was dismembered in the nineteenth century the marines continued to be active abroad. Its most important actions in this period were:

These actions were carried out by the Batallones Expedicionarios (Expeditionary Battalions), some of them campaigning abroad for up to ten years.
 * Spanish reconquest of Santo Domingo (1808)
 * Cochinchina campaign (1858)
 * Second French intervention in Mexico (1862)
 * Spanish–American War (1898)
 * Kert campaign (1911)

Fourth period
At the end of the World War I, the Battle of Gallipoli made almost all countries abandon the idea of amphibious assault. The world's marine corps fell into a deep crisis, with the Spanish Marine Infantry being no exception, though it enjoyed success during the Third Rif War in its innovative Alhucemas amphibious assault in 1925, when it employed coordinated air and naval gunfire to support the assault.

Owing to its high-profile action in the unpopular Rif Wars, the Spanish Navy Marine corps was branded as a leftover of the Spanish colonial era. After the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931, the reforms of the armed forces introduced by newly nominated Republican Minister of War Manuel Azaña within the first months of the new government sought to disband the corps.

Before it was officially disbanded, however, the Spanish Civil War intervened and the corps split and served both sides with the garrisons of Ferrol and Cádiz on the Nationalist side and the garrison of Cartagena, as well as a detachment in Madrid, on the Republican side. During the bitterly fought war the Marines performed garrison duties, led landing parties, and provided expert artillery and machine gun crews. The Republican 151 Brigada Mixta fought mostly inland battles far away from the sea. Photographer Robert Capa took pictures of the Spanish Marine Infantry in the Battle of the Segre. Republican Infantería de Marina Lieutenant Colonel Ambrosio Ristori de la Cuadra, killed in action during the Siege of Madrid, was posthumously awarded the Laureate Plate of Madrid.

Fifth period
After the civil war, during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, the strength of the Infantería Marina was increased. In 1957, the Grupo Especial Anfibio (Amphibious Special Group) was created, and the Spanish Marine Infantry returned to its primary duty as a Landing Force Mission. In 1958 it established a beachhead in Spanish Sahara and Ifni during the Ifni War. The capabilities and strength of the Spanish Marine Infantry were increased: new amphibious vehicles, anti-tank weapons, individual equipment and artillery.

The Tercio de Armada (TEAR) became the main amphibious unit and has experienced several restructures that led to the E-01 Plan, which defines the requirements and structures from the year 2000 for the Spanish Marine Infantry. The Spanish Marines have been present in Europe, Central America and Asia in an anonymous role as an "emergency force" ready to evacuate civilians in conflict areas, or as a deterrence force in providing cover for the actions of allied forces. The current base for the Spanish Marines is in San Fernando.

21st century
The Spanish Marine Infantry have been deployed to various NATO operations such as Afghanistan.

Mission

The Spanish Marine Infantry is an elite corps, highly specialised in amphibious warfare, that is, to project an amphibious force onto a hostile, or potentially hostile, coast. Its ability to embark on a short term notice with (land, air and naval) Navy assets, makes it a unit with a high strategic value. Adding to this a high degree of training, and the capability to deploy swiftly in international waters, results in a potent dissuasive force available at a short notice in distant regions.

One of the main characteristics of a marine is the uniform that he wears. On the sleeves of the Spanish Marines are the three "Sardinetas", which marks it as a member of the Royal House Corps. This was given in recognition for a heroic last stand at the Morro Castle during the siege of Havana in 1762. The only other unit to wear the sardinetas and red trouser stripes is the Spanish Royal Guard. Spanish Marines have modern assets to comply with its mission, having personnel specialised in artillery, sapping, helicopters, special operations, communications, tanks, among others. Some vehicles form the Grupo Mecanizado Anfibio del Tercio de Armada (the Mechanized Amphibious Group of the Navy Tercio). The Marines of Spain are not only a fleet force, as the Spanish Royal Marine Guard Company are responsible for the defense and security forces of naval bases and facilities, naval schools and training units, and all facilities that support the Marines themselves.

Special operations deployments
In June 2009, the Special Naval Warfare Force (FGNE) was created through the fusion of the Special Operations Unit (UOE) of the Marine Infantry as well as the Special Combat Divers Unit (UEBC) and the Special Explosives Defusers Unit (UEDE) from the Navy Diving Center. The FGNE is organized inside the whole Navy. This unit has taken part in several operations including Atalanta in Somalia, United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, Hispaniola in Haiti and the hijack of the fishing vessel Alakrana in Somali waters.

Marine brigade
The main fighting Force of the Spanish Marine Infantry is the Marine Infantry Brigade, which includes the following units:

 * Marine Infantry Brigade (BRIMAR)
 * Headquarters Battalion, with 1x Headquarters, 1x Signals, 1x Military Intelligence, Battlefield Surveillance & Electronic Warfare and 1x Reconnaissance & Target Acquisition Company
 * 1st Landing Battalion, with 1x HQ & Service, 3x Naval Fusiliers and 1x Weapons Company
 * 2nd Landing Battalion, with 1x HQ & Service, 3x Naval Fusiliers and 1x Weapons Company
 * 3rd Mechanized Landing Battalion, with 1x HQ & Service, 2x Mechanized (Piranha IIIC 8x8), 1x Tank (M60A3 TTS) and 1x Weapons Company
 * Amphibious Mobility Group, with 1x HQ & Service, 1x Engineer, 1x Amphibious Assault Vehicle, 1x Anti-Tank (TOW) and 1x Boat Company
 * Artillery Landing Group, with 1x HQ & Service, 2x Field Artillery (105mm Mod. 56), 1x Self-propelled Artillery (155mm M109AE), 1x Air-Defense Artillery Battery (Mistral) and 1x Fire Support Coordination and Control Company
 * Combat Service Support Group, with 1x HQ & Service, 1x Transport, 1x Medical, 1x Supply, 1x Maintenance Company and 1x Beach Organization & Movement Company

Protection Forces
The Protection Force (FUPRO) is in charge of ensuring the security of naval and other designated facilities and contains around 2000 troops. FUPRO is commanded by a brigadier general and is made up of the following battalion sized Tercios (En:Thirds):
 * Tercio del Norte (TERNOR) - Northern Regiment
 * Tercio de Levante (TERLEV) - Eastern Regiment
 * Tercio del Sur (TERSUR) - South Regiment
 * Unidad de Seguridad del Mando Naval de Canarias (USCAN) - Canary Islands Naval Command Security Unit
 * Agrupación de Infantería de Marina de Madrid (AGRUMAD) - Madrid Marine Infantry Group

Special Forces
See article: Fuerza de Guerra Naval Especial The Fuerza de Guerra Naval Especial (FGNE) is the special operations force of the Spanish Navy specializing in maritime, land and coastal environments. It is made up of the former Special Naval Warfare Command, which comprised the Special Operations Unit (UOE) of the Tercio de Armada and the Special Combat Divers Unit (UEBC). These units are grouped into elements with the following main tasks:

 * Command and control: Command Group and Staff and CIS Platoon of the Staff and Support Unit
 * Combat: Estoles
 * Combat Support (CSU): Boat and parachute unit of the Staff and Support Unit.
 * Combat Services Support (CSSU): Health, Provisioning, Transportation, folding, Weapons and Material and Cargo of the Staff and Support Unit

Marine Company of the Royal Guard

The Compañía Mar Océano de la Guardia Real was created on 1 December 1981 as part of the Royal Guard. Its organization is that of a Rifle Company.

Naval Police
The Naval Police Units are basically organized for the performance, both in peace and in war, of specific security and order missions. They fulfill the duties of surveillance of units and units of the Navy, custody, escort and regulation of transport and military convoys, protection of authorities, identification of personnel and vehicles, etc. In the exercise of their functions they will have the character of agents of the authority.

Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (TAR) Company
The Compañía de Reconocimiento y Adquisición de Blancos (Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance, TAR) was created in 2012, replacing the Reconnaissance Unit (URECON) assigned to the Headquarters Battalion. Its mission is the reconnaissance for the Marine Infantry Brigade (BRIMAR) operations. Its tasks are observation and reconnaissance, target acquisition, control of fire support (artillery and air strikes), close air support (helicopter precision marksmanship), direct action and mobility. For this, the most veteran marines train in insertion / extraction using skydiving and diving techniques.

Sección Martín Álvarez
While she remained active, the Spanish aircraft carrier Príncipe de Asturias (R11) had an assigned section of embarked Marines who were responsible for the security and control of the vessel, conducting Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) using helicopters or RIBs.

Once the ship began its decommissioning process, the Section was dismantled and its members assigned to other units.

Ranks of the Spanish Marine Infantry
Even though the ranks of the Marine Infantry are similar to Spanish Army ranks they wear also sleeve and cuff insignia to recognize them as part of the naval establishment, aside from shoulder rank insignia.

Commissioned officer ranks
The rank insignia of commissioned officers.

Other ranks
The rank insignia of non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel.

Motto
Its official motto is "Valientes por Tierra y por Mar" ("Braves by Land and Sea"), which is similar to other mottos used by marine units such as the Royal Marines.

Bands
The Music Band of the Marines is the military band of the Marine Infantry and the larger Spanish Navy. For this, it has the Music Band, created in 1950, it is made up of a select group of non-commissioned officers and professional musicians. Its first performance was in the Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid on 1 April 1951. It marches in both military ceremonies and parades, as well as in civil events. Based in Madrid it serves as the successor to bands of both that service and the whole of the Navy. The Madrid Marine Corps Ground (AGRUMAD) Music Band, also based in Madrid, also serves this branch. Since 1990, which was the year of its reestablishment, it has participated in concerts organized by the aforementioned association as well as military festivals in Spain. In 1970, it performed in the International Contest of Military Music Bands held in Valencia in 1970, in which he obtained 1st prize. It also has taken part in foreign activities in neighboring countries such as Belgium.

Academic Schools
By way of explanation, I added information to some of the academic schools to reflect the online and regional programs that they offer. These edits are a sort of addendum to the information added recently under special programs, specifically that about IUEverywhere. IUEverywhere is the division through which online programming is offered, but the programs and courses also remain part of the same academic schools/departments under which they and their on-campus counterparts are housed.

More information is needed for each of the academic schools and can probably be obtained by investigating the IUE website. Hirakis (talk) 15:22, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Categories
I'd like to propose adding one or all of the following to the categories listed for IU East: Distance education institutions, Online colleges, Distance Education in the United States. Because IUE offers degrees online/at a distance, I believe it would be appropriate to reflect that by including this article under one or more of the subject categories. I'd like to know what others think about this. Please weigh in with your opinion. Thanks...Hirakis (talk) 11:54, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I have no objections to what you suggest. Fantasyleaguer (talk) 16:27, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Removal of embedded links
Wikipedia should not, in general, have direct links to outside sites. The one time this is used is as a way of citing reliable sources, although this is considered to be the worst possible way of doing so (see WP:CITE for more details). If someone wants to convert some of these to references, that may be acceptable, but most of these aren't actually references. For example, we should not have a direct link to the different departments at the university, because those are self-published sources, and don't actually provide reference to anything in this article. For the professor, a reference (not an embedded link) to a CV can be acceptable, although it would be far better to reference to reliable secondary sources. I'm going back to the article now to strip out the rest. If you have questions, please post here. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:23, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I got most of the embedded links. The idea is that this should be an encyclopedia article that explains information about this school, not a general set of links for people to access those departments or people at the school--that's what the schools website is for (see WP:NOTLINKFARM for info).  If there is a single page somewhere on that website that lists all of the departments and/or degrees awarded, that one reference will suffice for the entire section.  I somewhat arbitrarily chose to leave in a few links, as they were asserting facts about certification that are more in need of verification.  However, we don't really need a citation to assert, for example, that IUE has an English Department.  Qwyrxian (talk) 01:38, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Qwyrxian. Based on the information you provided above, I created a reference for the Academic section using the IUE Academics & Programs page. I hope I have interpreted your comments correctly. Thanks for providing some guidance to those of us who are still learning about Wikipedia and who want to be responsible contributors. Hirakis (talk) 02:07, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That's excellent--exactly what I meant. A few more things to be done.  First, the other references need better titles, and ideally more information if available; if I have time and inclination later, I'll try to fix those.  If you can, take a look at Template:cite web.  That page shows how to use that template for web references.  It allows more information to be in the reference than just title and url; if nothing else, adding "accessdate" helps show when the info was accurate.
 * Second, there's a reference to US News and World report hanging out at the end of the reference list that should be added to the main text somewhere--what does that article say about the school? I checked, and it doesn't seem to say much other than to list some of the programs.  It appears to be ranked as a "Tier 4 School" but I don't know what that means. My guess, though, is that it's not a very good thing; however, we should have a sentence somewhere in the article that says "U.S. News and Report ranked IUE as a Tier 4 school, which means ____." However, I don't think I can get that info, because it's behind a paywall.  Does anyone with the Premium Online (or the print) version have more info about the ranking that we can add?
 * Third, it would be great if we could add reliable secondary sources to info here. That may not be possible if IUE is not a widely known or recognized school (I don't know if it is), but anything would help--a newspaper article about some award they won, some new government program they got funding from, etc.  It helps support the notability of the school.
 * Fourth: I'm a bit concerned about the Notable Academic Section. Usually, this should include only people who are notable in the sense of being known outside of the university, not people who are notable within it.  It seems surprising to me that IUE has so many professors that would be considered widely notable.  Deciding who belongs on the list will be an involved process of looking through bios and looking for other corroborating evidence, though, one that I can't tackle at the moment. I certainly invite others to do so, though. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:20, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Adding to General Info box
Does anyone know how to edit or add to the General Info box on the right hand corner. I was given the official logo for the school and wanted to upload it but I only know how to upload general images. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randaknight (talk • contribs) 13:18, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

History section too detailed?
The History section reads like a college newspaper article or recruitment brochure. There's a whole paragraph on the names of ex-chancellors. Unless these people are otherwise notable persons outside of their university affiliations, I think a simple list in a footnote would be adequate (if we even need that). If we're going to mention chancellors, why not provosts, deans, treasurers and other officers of the university? Lists of names smack of aggrandizement. Other details of history (like campus buildings) can be moved to other sections or abbreviated.Sbalfour (talk) 17:50, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
