Image Tagging Image:Realtime - trophies.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Realtime - trophies.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 10:34, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Chicago Hub Network

Not high-speed
References to this system as "high-speed" have been removed by Tompw and myself. High-speed rail is defined as being at least 200 kph. Period. The definition in the United States is not different...

As I am a budding American transportation engineer, I have dug out my general Transportation textbook, Transportation Engineering & Planning, by C.S. Papacostas and P.D. Prevedouros. This, I would like to add, is a book for and by the American transportation industry. On page 253, it states, just as you will find anywhere else:

"High-speed rail is defined as passenger rail transportation service with operating speeds of at least 200 km/h."

I will be adding this citation wherever relevant on Wikipedia, and if you like, I can dig out even more American transportation textbooks all saying the exact same thing. --Shadowlink1014 14:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

This is high-speed rail: According to the Federal Railroad Administration of the United States Department of Transportation, "High Speed Rail, sometimes called High Speed Ground Transportation, refers to a series of technologies involving trains traveling at top speeds of 90 to 300mph." The proposed New York high-speed rail, Midwest Regional Rail Initiative, and Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor are also high-speed rail systems operating at 110 mph (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Trains). –Crashintome4196 01:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Please see High-speed rail (the version BEFORE you edited it). The working definition on Wikipedia, and among pretty much everybody else, is 200 kph.  The source you have provided flys in the face of every other source I can find.  I guess I'm just going to have to dig out more textbooks.  I should also note that there are now at least four users that agree that this is not high-speed rail, against one.  I am requesting administrator arbitration.  --Shadowlink1014 10:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Template rail Legend
(Jordan S. Wilson (talk) 19:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)) Is there a template for the Chicago Hub that we can create?

St. Louis to Chicago Route
I see the St. Louis-to-Chicago corridor will actually run from Alton, Illinois, to Dwight, Illinois and top out at a speed of only 110 mph. This fact should be incorporated into the article somewhere.--NeantHumain (talk) 03:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Photos
Hi Zaui! I added your Sawtooth National Forest photo to the Raft River Mountains article, but I'm curious if you have a more appropriate one possibly taken on the same trip, perhaps of the mountains from farther back. Also, it looks like you're in Sandy - South Towne Center still needs a photo (if it's worth the time). Thanks! Green Glass (talk) 19:27, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll have to check about another Raft River Mountain photo. If I find one, I'll upload and replace the other one in the article.  As for South Town Center, we were there this weekend and I took a photo of the interior Christmas decorations (as well as the kids writing letters to Santa at Macy's). If it's any good, I'll upload and add it to the article. — Zaui (talk) 16:25, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That's a gorgeous photo you added to South Towne Center! I managed a store in that mall for a few years in the mid nineties and so it has a special place in may heart. Thanks for contributing it! Green Glass (talk) 02:00, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Zaui! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Invitation to join WikiProject United States

 * Welcome to the project. --Kumioko (talk) 00:02, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Portal:United States
I noticed that you were working on getting Portal:United States up and running again in 2008. I have recently gotten WikiProject United States up and running and am looking at pulling that portal under our scope. Would you be interested in helping me get that portal back to featured status again. If not could you offer me any advice as to what needs to be done? I am going to update some content but aside from that I'm not sure. --Kumioko (talk) 17:33, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I haven't been very active around here lately, but I'd be willing to help out on the portal. I think the first thing to do is look at recent feature portals to see if the criteria has changed from when this to-do list was created. I take a look and see what needs to be done and post on the portal talk page. — Zaui (talk) 16:16, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I already updated several things and a couple of other uses have made some adjustments as well. --Kumioko (talk) 00:03, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:09, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Talk:Gnaw Bone, Indiana

How long has there been a Gnaw Bone, Indiana and how was the name created
The information that says the name was created during the 1930s is absolutely incorrect. I found articles on newspapers.com that used the name, starting in 1879. It was apparently in general use at that time, so we don't know how early the name was created. Here is a link to an article: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/48054507/nashville187911-1rutteracquittedofmurder/ There are many more, continuing up through the current year.

List of New York Rangers head coaches

The New York Rangers are a professional ice hockey team based in Manhattan, New York. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). Playing their home games at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers are one of the oldest teams in the NHL, having joined in 1926 as an expansion franchise, and are part of the group of teams referred to as the Original Six. The Rangers were the first NHL franchise in the United States to win the Stanley Cup, which they have done four times (most recently in 1994). The team is commonly referred to by its famous nickname, "The Broadway Blueshirts", or more commonly in New York media, as simply the "Blueshirts".

There have been thirty-seven head coaches for the Rangers, the first one being Lester Patrick, and the most recent and current coach being Peter Laviolette. Muzz Patrick, Alfred Pike, and Ron Smith are the only coaches who spent their entire careers with the Rangers and were not elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Bernie Geoffrion, Lynn Patrick, Emile Francis, Glen Sather, Craig Patrick, Roger Neilson, Herb Brooks, and Fred Shero have all been inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Lester Patrick, Frank Boucher, Colin Campbell, Neil Colville, Bill Cook, Phil Esposito, Doug Harvey, and Bryan Trottier have all coached the Rangers for their entire coaching careers and have been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Emile Francis has coached the most regular season games, 654, and the most playoff games, 75, in franchise history. Emile Francis also holds the franchise records in regular season wins, 342, and playoff wins, 34. Mike Keenan, the twenty-fifth head coach of the Rangers, amassed the best points percentage, .667, and regular season winning percentage, .619, having done so in a single, 84-game season. Keenan is also the only head coach to have coached the Rangers to a Presidents' Trophy and Stanley Cup in the same season. Lester Patrick is the only head coach to have coached the Rangers to multiple Stanley Cups. Under head coach Peter Laviolette the Rangers set franchise records in wins (55) and points (114) in a single season, having set both records in the 2023–24 season. The Jack Adams Award has never been awarded to the head coach of the New York Rangers.

Coaches
Note: Statistics are correct through the 2023–24 season.

Talk:Gordon P. Robertson

God Speaks

 * "Then, during a short-term missionary trip to India, God opened Gordon's heart to the plight of millions of unreached souls. Sensing God's call to win the lost to Christ, Gordon resigned from his law firm and moved his family to the Philippines."

As miraculous as that sounds, perhaps the wording of this line should be a little less--um--miraculous? buck 22:08, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I've put up a temporary page. Hope this works. Blue80 31 August 2005
 * This page has been spammed repeatedly. I just removed several sentences referencing  "auditory hallucinations" and fame/money/power.  On the way I rewrote the paragraph, cited the original sentence (which was a direct quote from his official CBN biography), and made it clear that it was not encyclopedic data but rather Gordon's point of view.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/DanielCD

DanielCD
Final (19/0/1) ending 22:09 31 August 2005 (UTC) - Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to present to you DanielCD. He has been editting since 22nd June 2004, and with 15,249 edits in that time he is clearly one of the most dedicated wikipedians among us. My personal interaction with him has been on the missing articles project, specifically, he does enormous volumes of quality work importing 1911 material. When I asked Daniel about adminship initially his response was I need to read up and see what being an admin entails, that is the sign of a level headed and trustworthy user! --Martin - The non-blue non-moose 22:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Oppose for insufficient time on project.  Edits are important, but time on project is more important, as it takes a while to run into the variety of personalities and issues that the project offers.  Further, I do not see much activity on the admin-like pages (the deliberation pages).  I have no hesitation about the user's personality, but merely wish to see more time pass and more context established.  Geogre 21:47, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Withholding Until more dialogue is established. I'll decide how to vote in the next few days. Thank you for taking time to answer my question though! Hamster Sandwich 05:16, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Neutral You meet the majority of my criteria, but I have a few reservations. First of all, you don't always use edit summaries. Second, your answer to the first question doesn't say much about the future. Sure, you revert vandalism now, but that doesn't tell us anything about what you will do with sysop rights. I'll support if the first question is either revised or explained further.  Acetic Acid  ( talk ) 13:44, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * No, I'm not absolutely exhaustive in my use of edit summaries. Who is? No one is perfect in that regard, and I've been working on using it as much as possible. And as for the future, I'll help out wherever help is needed. I'll help to initiate voting where it's needed on deletions and such, and help to apply the decisions that are made by user consensus. It will take some learning and doing some things I haven't worked on much up to now, but I'm up to it. --DanielCD 14:00, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Alright, let's see what you can do. Changed to support. Acetic  ' Acid  11:49, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * Question I would like to know, what percentage specifically (within 5%) would you consider to be consensus when closing a VfD or related function? Hamster Sandwich 20:37, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I would like to see at least 75% as a rule of thumb. I'm usually pretty conservative when it comes to deletion. --DanielCD 03:49, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. Mostly janitorial stuff and watching for and reverting vandalism. I also patrol the plant articles a lot to add categories and fix and add taxoboxes.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

 * A. Resurrection Fern is my favorite because I did it all, from the research to the photos. I have also taken several pictures and done articles for several types of Trilobites that I'm happy with. The Iamblichus (philosopher) article came from 1911 badly garbled, and I did a lot of research on that one, so much that a lot of the 1911 material is actually gone. I do a lot of work on the missing articles project, especially on garbled 1911EB entries. I look at it as a challenge to research foreign language titles and names and fix the article up good as new.

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. I've had some minor conflicts, but nothing in real depth. Everything seems to work out when you take the initiative to actually communicate with people, and that's what I try to do.

Kreisleriana

Kreisleriana, Op. 16, is a composition in eight movements by Robert Schumann for solo piano, subtitled Phantasien für das Pianoforte. Schumann claimed to have written it in only four days in April 1838 and a revised version appeared in 1850. The work was dedicated to Frédéric Chopin, but when a copy was sent to the Polish composer, "he commented favorably only on the design of the title page".

Kreisleriana is a very dramatic work and is viewed by some critics as one of Schumann's finest compositions. In 1839, soon after publishing it, Schumann called it in a letter "my favourite work," remarking that "The title conveys nothing to any but Germans. Kreisler is one of E. T. A. Hoffmann's creations, an eccentric, wild, and witty conductor." In 1843, when he had moved from writing for solo piano to much larger works, in particular Paradise and the Peri, he still listed it as one of his best piano works.

The work's title was inspired by the character of Johannes Kreisler from works of E. T. A. Hoffmann. Like the kaleidoscopic Kreisler, each number has multiple contrasting sections, resembling the imaginary musician's manic depression, and recalling Schumann's own "Florestan" and "Eusebius," the two characters Schumann used to indicate his own contrasting impulsive and dreamy sides. Johannes Kreisler appears in several books by Hoffmann, including Kater Murr and most notably in the Kreisleriana section of Fantasiestücke in Callots Manier, published in 1814.

In a letter to his wife Clara, Schumann reveals that she has figured largely in the composition of Kreisleriana:

"I'm overflowing with music and beautiful melodies now – imagine, since my last letter I've finished another whole notebook of new pieces. I intend to call it Kreisleriana. You and one of your ideas play the main role in it, and I want to dedicate it to you – yes, to you and nobody else – and then you will smile so sweetly when you discover yourself in it."

Movements

 * 1) Äußerst bewegt (Extremely animated), D minor
 * 2) Sehr innig und nicht zu rasch (Very inwardly and not too quickly), B♭ major. This movement in ABACA form, with its lyrical main theme, includes two contrasting intermezzi. In his 1850 edition, Schumann extended the first reprise of the theme by twenty measures in order to repeat it in full.
 * 3) Sehr aufgeregt (Very agitated), G minor
 * 4) Sehr langsam (Very slowly), B♭ major/G minor
 * 5) Sehr lebhaft (Very lively), G minor
 * 6) Sehr langsam (Very slowly), B♭ major
 * 7) Sehr rasch (Very fast), C minor/E♭ major
 * 8) Schnell und spielend (Fast and playful), G minor. Schumann used material from this movement in the fourth movement of his first symphony.

Talk:Nigel Dodds

Untitled
Dodds would almost certainly call Derry Londonderry so that's the preferred term in this context I think. Please let's not have yet another childish rv war on that subject!!!

I think "a party not known for its intellectualism" is a bit pov (although I've a feeling I put it there in the first place!!!) so I've removed it. Happy to discuss. Gerry Lynch 22:10, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Although Derry seems to be the standard term on Wikipedia, the inclusion of the official name does'nt overly bother me. I would rather keep the reference to intellectualism, as it seems to mark the party out from most of the others.

Lapsed Pacifist 01:51, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Even though I probably wouldn't dispute the fact, the reference to "intellectualism" is definitely POV, so I've removed it. Stu 10:56, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

POV-pushing
From your edit history, it's clear that you do not believe that Northern Ireland is a legitimate state. You are entitled to that opinion; however, you are not entitled to push this opinion by rewriting articles to remove all references to "Northern Ireland". This latest tactic is just another version of your old "six counties" and "north-east" gimmicks. They didn't work; neither will this. Stop playing games and wasting both our time. Demiurge 00:57, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I presume you're addressing me, Demiurge. Feel free to put any interpretation you like on my edits, they will stand or fall on their own merits. There are no fewer than seven instances in this article where the words "Northern" and "Ireland" appear consecutively. Were I 'rewriting articles to remove all references to "Northern Ireland"', I think I might have been slightly more thorough. Were you to write "Dodds travels regularly to Britain to attend parliament", and a particularly obstinate user insisted that you use the word "England" instead, you might have a better grasp of my reasoning.

Lapsed Pacifist 04:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Who else would he be addressing LP? There are seven instances of 'Northern Ireland' in the article as this is the official name of the country being referred to. Simple as that.

 * The sentence "Dodds travels regularly to Britain to attend parliament" is completely different matter. England is part of Britain. Northern Ireland is not a part of Ireland in the context to which you are inferring. Stu 15:39, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom but it is not part of Britain. Millbanks (talk) 19:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

 * fair point Millbanks. I should point out to Stumason that Northern Ireland is part of Ireland. However, it is not part of the Republic of Ireland. Codu (t)⁄(c) • 17:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Derry-Londonderry edit warring
Is there a notice anywhere on this article saying that WP:1RR applies? I couldn't help but notice this when skimming the log of currently active bans and blocks (and then zooming in on a participant or two to find out what the "edit warring" was about). 204.52.215.107 (talk) 04:23, 26 February 2009 (UTC) Also, this is pretty OLD edit warring: judging from the above comments, it's been going on since 2005! 204.52.215.107 (talk) 04:23, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I have reverted your edit. In Ireland related articles counties are not added when they are evident, such as "Galway, County Galway" and so on. The style manual does not say to use both, only which term applies to the city and which to the county. O Fenian (talk) 20:15, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Post-nominals
Since he's now a Privy Counsellor, there should presumably be a "PC" amongst his post-nominals. Andrew Gwilliam (talk) 13:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC).

Not clear
It is not clear if the brick was thrown at Dodds deliberately or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.126.93.17 (talk) 11:34, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Londonderry
The post 1973 city and district council area, now defunct since 1st April 2015, and which changed its name from Londonderry to Derry in 1984, included the actual city and extended into the county. The actual city and the county are both still officially called Londonderry, as is the postal district. Dodds was born in Altnagelvin hospital which today still lies inside County Londonderry. Dodds himself, being a unionist would be happy with the use of the correct name. I can see no justification for using a shortened version. It's not about consensus. It's about fact, otherwise any majority of editors at any time could name any place in the world anything that they liked.

 * Sorry, but Wikipedia works on the basis of consensus and on the basis of WP:COMMONNAME, not official names. That's why, up to 2011, we had an article at Libya, not at "Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya." A majority of editors couldn't name a place anything they like because names have to be backed up with reliable sources. If you disagree with this, you should seek to have it changed at the talk page of WP:IMOS, but be aware that this issue has been discussed to death on the Derry talkpage (for example here) and you'd likely be flogging a dead horse. Valenciano (talk) 10:15, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

I had a look. It seems to me that most of those editors are confused. In 1973 Northern Ireland was divided into 26 district council areas. One of those was the District of Londonderry which was given city status because within it lay the smaller City of Londonderry. The smaller City of Londonderry still exists today and has a Lord Lieutenant. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Lieutenant_of_the_City_of_Londonderry ) In 1984, the larger 1973 creation known in full as "The City and District of Londonderry" had its name changed to "The City and District of Derry", but that did not affect the smaller City of Londonderry that lies within it, whose official name still remains "Londonderry". The 1973 creation "The City and District of Derry" has now been disbanded, but the original pre-1973 City of Londonderry continues. Meanwhile the County of Londonderry is, and has always been Londonderry. The Royal Mail postal district is also officially called Londonderry. Anyway, none of this should matter as regards Nigel Dodds since he was born in County Londonderry, and I don't agree with you that Derry is the common name for either the city or the county. People use both, as does the media, and Nigel Dodds himself uses Londonderry. Would it not be polite, since its a biography of a living person, to use the preferred usage of the subject in question? http://www.nigeldodds.co.uk/profile Why use what would be the choice of his political opponents? An encyclopaedia needs to be accurate. It's not about promoting what a small active group of editors, at one moment in time ten years ago, decided that they would like the facts to be. 86.162.190.142 (talk) 19:23, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

 * And just one more question. What makes you personally so keen to make sure that Nigel Dodds, a unionist, is described as coming from Derry as opposed to Londonderry, when everybody knows that Nigel Dodds himself would call it by its official name 'Londonderry', as do most people in Northern Ireland? What is your personal interest in all of this? I thought that care had to be taken with biographies of living persons, and that sensitivity had to be shown. And why would you not allow it to read Altnagelvin, County Londonderry? Why was it so important to you to come to this article and revert to Derry? Would an Irish republican politician born in Northern Ireland like it if wikipedia insisted on describing him as British, which he technically would be? Why are you trying to wind Nigel Dodds up? I thought the policy regarding living biographies, where opinions and controversies are concerned, was to side with the view of the person in question, where that view would be known, as it is in this case.

 * To answer your first question, Dodds' page is one of hundreds of politicians' pages I monitor to ensure that they are neutral, free of vandalism and comply with our manual of style. When I first joined Wikipedia, I thought the same as you did, that Wikipedia used only official names, which is why I changed it to Londonderry myself (this edit), so you see, my interest is in maintaining existing consensus and it always amuses me when people, who are far more invested in the subject than I am, try and imply I have an agenda. If all of you are correct, then I'm Ian Duncan Smith, taking time out from my ministerial schedule to moonlight as the Russian President's chief of staff to supplement the income I get working for the DUP's David Simpson, whose politics are apparently perfectly compatible with my supposed Irish Republicanism, best exemplified in edits like this. :) I wish you'd all make up your mind!

 * Seriously, back to topic. An Irish Republican politician born in Northern Ireland wouldn't technically be British, since the Good Friday Agreement allows people born there to be British, Irish or both and by default, we describe them as Irish, the same way we describe Jim Kilfedder or Ernest Baird as British or Northern Irish even though they were born the other side of the border. Your thoughts on BLP are wrong, if that were the case we wouldn't be able to say anything negative about any politician, lest it "wind them up." I don't have an objection per se to Altnagelvin, but reliable sources don't say that, they all say he was born in (London)derry, see for example his own website or the Northern Ireland Assembly site, a city which is known on here as Derry. As I've said before, if you want this changed then you'd need to seek a wider change at WP:IMOS or WP:COMMONNAME. Valenciano (talk) 13:03, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Valenciano, OK, I accept that you don't have an agenda. You must realize by now though, that the official policy is flawed. It seems to be based on the fact that the district council area was called Derry after 1984, but that is not the same thing as the city itself. That seems to be the basis upon which it was reasoned that the city would be called Derry, while the county would be called Londonderry. It's faulty reasoning. Both the city and the county are officially called Londonderry. Secondly, it's wrong to classify this as a simple 'common name' dispute. This is not a common name dispute. It's a dispute about the fact that the republican faction specifically want to remove any mention of the word London in the name of the city. That reason should therefore be mentioned in the article itself as fact, so that foreigners (or indeed local readers) understand why some people want to call it Derry. At the moment, that important fact is being avoided, and the official policy seems to be playing into the hands of republicans who want to make readers wrongly believe that the city is already called Derry, while hiding their motives. 86.162.190.142 (talk) 17:31, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

 * The county and the city of Londonderry don't overlap. They are both called Londonderry, but you can't come from both. Each has a Lord Lieutenant and each has its own car license plate letters. The post office has a postal district called Londonderry which extends into the county from the city. City of Londonderry car license plates use the UI prefix while County of Londonderry cars use the IW prefix. This article here lists the UK's lord lieutenants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_Lord_Lieutenants_of_the_United_Kingdom You can see the two Londonderry entries alphabetically at the letter 'L'. 86.162.190.142 (talk) 11:11, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

 * WP:MOS we donnt link sir, WP:BLP we mention nationality first and what he is notable for. WP:OVERLINK a continuous run of blue links is to be avoid (unlink of NI in background). Clarify Derry not County Londonderry in infobox, as per WP:MOS it is more precise, and as per WP:DERRY we use Derry for the city, Londonderry for the county. All the above have consensus. Murry1975 (talk) 18:06, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Have to agree with the IP. Derry didn't exist when Nigel Dodds was born. Its like saying CS Lewis was born in Northern Ireland 23 years before Northern Ireland was formed. In this case IMOS doesn't apply.Dubs boy (talk) 18:03, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

 * So what you're saying is that Derry only came into existence when the city council was renamed in 1984? By that logic, the city must have been abolished earlier this year. No, that doesn't wash and WP:IMOS has nothing to do with the city council's name. Valenciano (talk) 18:09, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

 * What he said socky. Murry1975 (talk) 18:11, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Murry1975, enough with the sock remarks ok. I've a valid enough query into the content. Quasi Common name stems from the *Derry* used by the former City Council. Without this change, Derry would not be as common as you say it is.Dubs boy (talk) 18:35, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Number of children
you previously reverted the change from 2 to 3 in the infobox. According to the Belfast Telegraph he has two living children, a third died aged 9 in 1998. Obviously this is something we would need to handle with sensitivity, so perhaps we should leave the number of children out of the infobox and simply deal with it in the relevant section?

Talk:Nougat

Black nougat
Since you included the Italian and Spanish name for the white version, you probably want to include that black nougat is called "croccante" in Italy, which literally means crunchy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.158.111.5 (talk) 10:27, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Vienna is not part of Germany
In the whole article it talks of Viennese Nougat as if it originated from Germany, but Vienna is the capital of Austria and not part of Germany. Actually, the german page on Nougat states that Viennese Nougat originated from Turin in Italy. 213.164.5.110 (talk) 13:28, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Nougat in Antiquity?
User:81.242.243.90 added: The first appearance of nougat was described in the "Istoria Naturalis" by Plinius the Old. As for him it was in Augusta Taurinorum, the current Turin.

Pliny the Elder's Natural History is quite large, and difficult to search, but the only reference I was able to find to Augusta Taurinorum `in the NH is a passing reference that says nothng about confectionery:

oppida Vibi Forum, Segusio, coloniae ab Alpium radicibus Augusta Taurinorum - inde navigabili Pado - antiqua Ligurum stirpe...

I suspect that the idea that nougat was mentioned by Pliny is merely a folk etymology for turrón. If I am wrong, please do correct me.

For what it's worth, a mixture similar to nougat is described in the Dipnosophistæ of Athenaeus, in the recipe for "gastris."

 * ...ἐν Κρήτῃ δέ, φησίν, πλα κουντάριον ποιοῦσιν, ὅπερ ὀνομάζουσι γάστριν. γίνεται δὲ οὕτως· κάρυα Θάσια καὶ Ποντικὰ καὶ ἀμύγδαλα, ἔτι δὲ μήκων, ἃ [ὃν] φρύξας θεράπευσον καλῶς καὶ εἰς θυίαν καθαρὰν τρῖψον ἐπιμελῶς· συμμίξας τε τὴν ὀπώραν μάλαξον μέλιτι ἡψημένῳ, προσβαλὼν πέπερι πλέον καὶ μάλαξον· γίνεται δὲ μέλαν διὰ τὴν μήκωνα. δια πλατύνας ποίησον τετράγωνον. εἶτα σήσαμον λευκὸν τρίψας μάλαξον μέλιτι ἡψημένῳ καὶ ἕλκυσον λαγάνια δύο καὶ ἓν θὲς ὑποκάτω καὶ τὸ ἄλλο ἐπάνω, ἵνα τὸ μέλαν εἰς μέσον γένηται, εὖ ῥύθμισόν τε αὐτό.’ ταῦτα καὶ ὁ σοφὸς πεμματολόγος Χρύσιππος.
 * 'But in Crete, they say, they make a type of biscuit called "gastris." Here's how it's made: roast Thasian nuts (i.e. sweet almonds) and Pontic nuts (i.e. hazelnuts), and almonds (i.e. bitter almonds), also poppy, watching them attentively, and pound them carefully in a clean mortar. Mix together these nuts, then knead with boiled honey, add plenty of pepper and knead it it; it turns black from the poppy. Spread it out into a square. Then grind white sesame and knead it with boiled honey, and draw it out into two wafers, then put one on top and the other on the bottom so that the black mixture will be in the middle, and cut it up nicely.' So says the wise cake-ologist Chrysippus.

Latin
The "nougat" name originates from the Latin "nux gatum", "cooked with nuts". Source: Finnish Wikipedia - can this be verified elsewhere? --Janke | Talk 07:05, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * No. It looks like a distortion of "'nucatum', 'made from nuts'", which would be more accurate. The full story is that in Classical Latin the word nucatum never occurs, rather it's a back-formation from provençal nougat. --Iustinus 07:50, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

From the online etymology dictionary http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=nougat&searchmode=none nougat "sweetmeat of almonds and other nuts," 1827, from Fr. nougat, from Prov. nougat "cake made with almonds," from O.Prov. nogat "nutcake," from noga, nuga "nut," from V.L. *nucatum (nom. *nuca), from L. nux (gen. nucis) "nut" (see nucleus). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.38.111.186 (talk) 21:09, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Merger with turrón/torrone/torró
Nougat is known as turrón in Spanish, torrone in Italian, and torró in Català. There are of course variations in the details of the recipe and of habits surrounding this food in various regions, but as Alan Davidson says in The Oxford Companion to Food:
 * Italian torrone and Spanish turrón are, essentially, other forms of nougat.

I was reminded of this identity because I just had a taste of Sicilian torrone this week, and last week, a taste of Montelimar nougat. Sticky teeth.

So I recommend that we

 * Merge --Macrakis 22:18, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge --ProfMoriarty 20:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * (Don't Merge) Do NOT merge turron and nouget. It would be muy malo!!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.63.43.49 (talk • contribs) 11:48, 25 April 2006
 * Could you please explain your reasoning? As far as I can tell, turrón is simply the Spanish word for nougat.  The English-language WP always prefers to use English names for things if they exist. --Macrakis 21:44, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Torrone is more often of a hard variety (although soft varieties do exist), which nougat is not (nougat is predominantly soft). There are also ingredient differences, classic Nougat de Montelimar containing Almonds and Pistachios, while Torrone usually contains Almonds with Hazelnuts, plus candied orange or lemon peel. The two are related, but not the same.
 * Don't Merge -- Turrón in Spain also can be chocolate with puffed rice in it which is definitely not nougat. If you go to a spanish supermarket near Christmas you will see that there are many different varieties and flavours, including toasted yolk! Rosa.blaus 14:57:03, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't Merge -- The consistencies, preparation and consumption of turrón do not emulate those of nougat. In Spain, turrón is synonymous with almost every Christmas candy and is generally consumed at this time and at no other, elevating the candy to a cultural icon. To merge it with nougat would not only simplify it's existence as a food, but also demean it's cultural value. (unsigned comment by User:66.152.212.201 2006-06-05 18:28:21)
 * Don't Merge -- Turrón refers to a very precised cultural tradition: it's a sweet or a class of sweets (there are several different varieties) eaten traditionnally at Christmas, and made in the small town of Jijona, in the southeast of Spain. Turrón is not the spanish name for nougat, but a word referring to this food. --Rodriguillo 22:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I can't say I have a strong oppinion one way or the other, but if what you are saying is true, then what is the Spanish name for nougat? So far as I can tell (and my knowledge of this subject is not exactly vast) turrón is it. --Iustinus 04:54, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Someone wrote, "The picture (right) is not the typical nougat, made with egg-white and nuts. It appears to be the German-style Schmelz-Schokolade. A better, more typical, picture is needed." Tom Harrison Talk 19:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I completely agree. I see no reason to keep this picture, which appears to show some kind of praline. The picture is now removed. I will look to find a replacement. [[user:jimjamjak]] (talk) 14:00, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Clarity Issues
I found some issues with the clarity of this article. I came here because I don't know what nougat is, so I can't fix these problems myself.

Australian nougat is produced by a similar method to French nougat but usually has a 50% almond content and no pistachios, although it can contain Macadamia nuts, apricots, or other texture modifiers. The article never says what French nougat is like, so comparing Australian nougat to French nougat isn't useful. Spanish and Italian nougats are discussed, but not French.

The making of Nogha is very much the same as any other Gaz. The difference is that Nogha is usually spread between two very thin layers of wafers & cut into 10x5x5 cm cubes which are larger than ordinary Gaz cubes. Again, this is referencing something that isn't explained in the article. How is other Gaz made? There's a list of ingredients but no real explanation. Also, anything that's 10x5x5 isn't a cube. That might be nitpicking too much though.

There are two types of African nougat, or, 'nougati', ranged from the white (kurtzati) to a black (baxtiti), mainly consistent of fruits rather than pistachios or other nuts. The higher fruit-to-nut ratio can be most prominent in the brown (simchati) nougat variety. Nougat that is fruit-filled is considered to be most desirable in Africa. It mentions that there are exactly two types of African nougat, then goes onto use the word "ranged" which suggests multiple types in between the white and black nougats. It even mentions a third one with it's own name so it seems that there must be at least three.

I wish I knew enough to fix these myself, but I am clueless about this confectionery item. :) Hopefully someone else can step in and make it a little clearer.

Iranian pistachio based nougat introduction
Hi, I try to add this link in Nougat article to introduce persian sweetmeal Gaz more: http://www.nougaz.com/default.cfm?IDDR=1&IDLA=1&IDSE=2&IDSS=9 but i couldn't add due to advertisment and spam alert from moderator! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hadins (talk • contribs) 12:27, 18 April 2008
 * You were actually linking to the main page of a confectionery retailer, rather than a specific URL. Links to commercial sites are discouraged under WP:EL ("Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services").
 * The URL you mention in your comment is more useful, but it still fails WP:EL for being a site "that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article". If it provides any information about nougat which is not already present in the article (although I'm not sure that it does), we should simply add that information to the article, rather than linking to a commercial site. --McGeddon (talk) 12:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

No peanuts?
What about Damascus "Traditional French Nougat" bars? They contain peanuts. Who's in the wrong here? — TooLazyToLogin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.136.187 (talk) 12:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

 * It could be that there are some common varieties of nougat that have peanuts, but the example you give here does not seem to be a common variety of nougat. A google search for Damascus and "Traditional French Nougat" came up with only 8 results, all South African. So I would be skeptical that "traditional french nougat" is an accurate description of the product. Also, in none of the results did they actually mention peanuts, though that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't have peanuts. If a more famous, internationally-known version of nougat (not nougat candy bar, but straight nougat) includes peanuts, then it would be a good idea to change the wording from "but not peanuts" to "but usually not peanuts" or "but rarely peanuts". Or better yet, if a reliable source describes nougat as having peanuts sometimes. -kotra (talk) 17:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Mispronunciation?
Can an entire country mispronounce a word? Wouldn't that just make it the correct pronunciation of a separate dialect?

Got to agree here. It's not just a region specific thing, our whole country calls it that. Hence, it's more of a country-based re-naming. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.1.128.149 (talk) 16:03, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I realise these comments are quite old but I just thought I'd say that I agree. I've never heard British people pronouncing it "Nougar", we pronounce it "Nugget". From my experience, Americans pronounce it "Nougar". Will Bradshaw (talk) 22:06, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm an American. Do NOT pronounce it "nougar." That's just retarded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.171.36 (talk) 21:27, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

 * [I assume that Will Bradshaw's accent is from Southern England, and by "Nougar" means "Nougah", i.e. /nu:ga:/.]
 * I pronounce it as /nu:ga:/, and I'm pretty sure I've encountered that pronunciation in England (when I lived there many years ago); and am not sure I've even heard it pronounced with a t sound by anyone who'd heard the word before. Pjrm (talk) 11:49, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

 * I don't know about Britain, but /nuːɡɑː/ is how it's pronounced here in Australia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.68.221.236 (talk) 15:28, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Definitely " nugget" as a working class person in London Marchino61 (talk) 14:06, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

I say it as ‘nugget’ but my dad says it as ‘noo-gah’ but then I’m from Birmingham (the one in England) and he’s originally from Staffordshire Overlordnat1 (talk) 16:54, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Edit warring
Please stop edit warring over (a) the origin of nougat (which is largely unknown), and (b) the names of countries mentioned in the article due to political disputes, etc. I have requested temporary page protection. -- Scjessey (talk) 19:27, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Android
Please do NOT add anything about Android Nougat to this article, as it is not appropriate. Our marshmallow article quite rightly doesn't mention Android either. -- Scjessey (talk) 10:58, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Nougat is something else in German
in some German speaking countries like Germany and Austria, the term "Nougat" refers to a thick, pliable mass made of mainly hazelnuts, cocoa and sugar. The Nougat which is discussed here is called "Krokant" in these countries, similar to the Italian "Croccante" (there is also a German wikipedia article called "Krokant", which is linked to the English Article "brittle". Krokant actually means any kind of nuts in caramelized sugar, like almond brittle = Mandelkrokan.. I don't know how to change the link to the article, can somebody do that please. I hope I did not violate any etiquette with this request, it is my first contribution to a talk site I think. Eliza Espinoza (talk) 17:54, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Common English meaning
The main meaning of the word in the US and UK is buried in the "distribution and popularity" section. I suspect that a majority of people who visit the page are looking for that one, in which case it should be mentioned in the lead. Dan Wylie-Sears 2 (talk) 15:57, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Andrew Hayden-Smith

Andrew Hayden-Smith (born Andrew John Smith, 5 November 1983 in Gateshead, England) is an English actor and voiceover artist and former television presenter.

Early years
Hayden-Smith grew up in Chester-le-Street in County Durham and attended the Pelton Roseberry Sports and Community College. He has an older sister, Kerri Hayden, who also worked on Byker Grove as a 2nd AD. While visiting the set of Byker Grove one day, he was spotted by the series' Executive Producer Matthew Robinson, who cast him in the role of 'Ben Carter', making his first appearance in the eighth series of the show in 1996.

Initially just using the name Andrew Smith, he appeared as a guest on Saturday morning CBBC show Live & Kicking with several other characters from the show. Smith soon became a regular guest on the show. This led to appearances on other shows and also in teen-magazines, as well as two pantomime appearances. In 2001 he applied for Equity membership and was accepted under the name Andrew Hayden-Smith (Hayden being another surname in his family), as the name Andrew Smith was already taken. He announced his change of stage name on Live & Kicking.

Hayden-Smith is gay, coming out in Attitude magazine in February 2005, when he was 21.

He is in a long-term relationship with his boyfriend, Dan Maton.

Career
Hayden-Smith was a regular guest in the CBBC studio for some time, and was invited to guest present the studio links in autumn 2002. He had expressed a wish for some time to have a go at presenting, and was encouraged by existing CBBC presenter Jake Humphrey to ask the bosses if he could stay on. This was agreed and Hayden-Smith moved to London to become half of the main presenting team for the afternoon slot on BBC1, a position he would continue to hold for just under four years. During that period from time to time he also presented the CBBC breakfast shows on BBC1 and BBC2 as well as the digital CBBC channel. In 2003 he also filmed his final scenes of Byker Grove, in which his character was killed off. Hayden-Smith became close friends with several of his fellow presenters, including Angellica Bell and Adrian Dickson.

During his time on CBBC, Hayden-Smith was once gunged in the studio after a phone-in deciding which presenter should get gunged in honour of the gameshow Get Your Own Back. With 63% of the votes, Hayden-Smith had a bucket of pink gunge and a bucket of green gunge poured directly over his head.

By this time he had begun presenting the UK Top 40 on CBBC. The show had begun in early 2002 along with the CBBC digital channel and was originally presented by Adrian Dickson and Konnie Huq. It was aired on Sunday nights concurrently with the Top 40 show on Radio One. After Dickson and Huq left the show in September 2004, Hayden-Smith was approached to become the sole presenter, having stood in for Dickson at the last minute one Sunday night several months previously. At first the show continued its success, but in 2005 the format changed to become more "computerised" and this was not received well. The last show was broadcast in June 2005.

Hayden-Smith appeared in the episodes "Rise of the Cybermen", "The Age of Steel" and "Doomsday" as Jake Simmonds in the 2006 series of Doctor Who. He returned to CBBC having completed the filming, but decided that he wished to concentrate on acting. His final day of presenting was on 7 July 2006, the day before his third and final Doctor Who appearance. On leaving CBBC and after his final Doctor Who appearance, Hayden-Smith played Romeo in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet at the Jermyn Street Theatre, London, 21 April – 17 May 2008. His position as Jake Simmonds on Doctor Who earned him a spot on The Weakest Link. In the first round, he banked the £5,000 target. Eventually, he placed fifth.

Hayden-Smith has been a roving reporter for Channel 5's morning programme, Live with Gabby, and was a regular presenter in The Hub on This Morning during the summer of 2013.

In 2014 and 2015, Hayden-Smith joined the cast of the Channel 4 series Cucumber and E4 series Banana, both from writer Russell T Davies.

In September 2015 he was on Hacker’s Birthday Bash, screened on CBBC, a children's reunion show also featuring Andi Peters and Phillip Schofield.

Hayden-Smith is a regular continuity announcer, mainly on ITV and ITV2 but also does voiceover work for other channels, and is a contributor to Attitude.co.uk.

In July 2016, Hayden-Smith joined the cast of Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks, as new regular police officer, DS Gavin Armstrong, the chief inspector investigating the murder of Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield).
