Eversley

Eversley is a village and civil parish in the Hart district of Hampshire, England. The village is located around 11 mi northeast of Basingstoke and around 2.5 mi west of Yateley. The River Blackwater, and the border with Berkshire, form the northern boundary of the parish.

Character

Eversley means "Wild Boar Clearing" and the boar is the symbol of the village, as shown on the village sign.

The parish contains a number of hamlets: Eversley Village (sometimes called Eversley Street), Eversley Centre, Eversley Cross, Lower Common and Up Green. The historical parish also included Bramshill, a modern civil parish largely covered by plantation forest, but also including the early 17th century Bramshill House. Eversley Centre and Eversley Cross (to the north of Yateley) are contiguous and constitute the main part of the village, whilst Eversley 'village' lies around 1 mi to the north on the A327 road towards Arborfield.

There are a number of other large country houses in Eversley: Firgrove Manor (now apartments), Glaston Hill House (private residence) and Warbrook House (now a Conference Centre). Monuments to their residents can be seen in St Mary's Church, a medieval building mostly rebuilt in the 18th century.

The churchyard is the burial-place of Charles Kingsley, who for 35 years was rector of the parish. Kingsley was a significant author and commentator in the 19th century: his novels include The Water Babies and Westward Ho!. He was also a social critic and an early founder of modern Christian socialism. One of his poems, "The Bad Squire", is displayed in the church.

Charles Kingsley's Primary School
In Eversley there is a primary school called Charles Kingsley's Primary School, founded by Charles Kingsley in 1853. In 2011, it was inspected by OFSTED, and graded as "outstanding".

St. Neot's Preparatory School
The village is home to St. Neots, also an independent preparatory school. It was founded in Sunningdale in 1888 as a proprietorial boys’ preparatory boarding school. It moved to the current site in Eversley in 1894, acquired charitable trust status under a governing board in 1955, opened a co-educational pre-prep in 1988 and attained full co-education in 1990. Since 1997 the school has worked a five-day week, with weekly and flexi-boarding from Year 3. The boarding ceased in 2015. The boar was taken as a symbol of the school, replacing the deer, to link it with the meaning of the name of the village Eversley.

Modern notoriety
On 1 April 1992, Jacqueline Palmer-Radford, a 40-year-old mother of two, was found dead after having been raped and strangled at her home in the village. The murder remains unsolved despite being featured on the television programme Crimewatch.

Talk:Randwick, New South Wales

Separate page for the Local Government Area
As per discussion at Talk:List of Sydney suburbs, I have created a separate page for the City of Randwick, the Local Government Area. -- Ianblair23 12:33, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

I've deleted a reference to homelessness being a major issue in parts of Randwick. Although there is some evidence of this, I don't believe it is that big a problem, esp compared to some other suburbs (Elizabeth Bay, Kings X, even Bondi and Bondi Junction--Downunda 02:23, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Expansion
Expanded the history and started re-arranging the photos, but must admit I've had problems. Can't make the shots all go exactly where I want them, so put them all back on right side of page, but still not satisfied. Will try again tomorrow. Need a break right now, and there are still eleven more shots I want to add.

Sardaka 10:38, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Prayers Answered
Got it right this time. The trick is to put the shots in a gallery, which seems to be the only way to make them stay where you put them. All finished now.

Sardaka 09:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Main article picture and other article pictures
I'm not sure the Capt Cook statue in front of Balzac is the best picture to have as the main article picture. There are lots of other great shots that coule be taken of the area. I think I will take some pictures and try to upload them, and possibly try running with a different picture for the main spot for a bit - perhaps one of the Town Hall.

I think it would also be nice to show more of the architecture of the suburb in pictures here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.240.141.63 (talk) 14:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Photos
I have noticed that nearly all of the 24 images in this article are also available on commons. I also notice that there is a commons link at the bottom of this article. If that is the case then why are the images here and on commons as well. I have placed the clean up tag for galleries in the appropriate section. I wont be working on this article to soon. I will leave that to the authors and neutral editors to look at first. Thankyou. P.o.o.r.P.h.o.t.o.r.e.m.o.v.i.l.s.t. (talk) 11:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC) thought the gallery of fotos was good, along with the cook statue plus

Grizzly Bear (band)

Grizzly Bear is an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2002. For most of its tenure, the band has consisted of Edward Droste (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Daniel Rossen (vocals, guitar, banjo, keyboards), Chris Taylor (bass, backing vocals, woodwinds, production), and Christopher Bear (drums, percussion, backing vocals). The band employed both traditional and electronic instruments, and their sound has been categorized as psychedelic pop, folk rock, and experimental. The band was known for their use of vocal harmony, with all four members contributing vocals and lead vocals alternating between Rossen and Droste.

Initially a solo project for Droste, the first Grizzly Bear album, Horn of Plenty (2004), was a lo-fi studio project released on Kanine Records. The album featured drumming contributions from Bear, who would go on to join the project full-time in 2004, alongside Taylor and Rossen for live performances. Performing as a four-piece, the resulting chemistry turned Grizzly Bear into a band of equal collaborators, with Rossen becoming its co-lead vocalist and second principal songwriter, and Taylor adopting the role of producer and multi-instrumentalist. The band's second studio album, Yellow House, was released to widespread critical acclaim in 2006 and was the first to feature the full Grizzly Bear band.

Preceded by the single "Two Weeks", the band's third studio album, Veckatimest (2009), increased their exposure significantly, reaching #8 on the Billboard 200 and selling over 220,000 copies. After extensive touring, the band reconvened for the more experimental and expansive album, Shields, which was released to further acclaim in 2012. The band's fifth and most recent studio album, Painted Ruins, was released in 2017. Following the album's accompanying tour, the band entered an extended hiatus, with Droste announcing that he had left the band in 2020.

Beginnings and Horn of Plenty (2002–2005)
Grizzly Bear began as a moniker for songwriter Ed Droste's music in the early 2000s. Regarding the band's origins as a solo project, Droste noted, "It was just like doing a little home project, and I thought "oh, this is fun, I'm just going to call this stuff Grizzly Bear. [...] Our name was actually just a nickname for an old boyfriend of mine."

In 2004, Droste released Grizzly Bear's debut album, Horn of Plenty. Predominately a solo album, the album featured contributions from future drummer Christopher Bear. Rolling Stone magazine wrote of the first album, "the pure atmospheric power of the songs is more than enough to hypnotize."

Droste and Bear were subsequently joined by bass guitarist and producer Chris Taylor, and performed four shows together as a three-piece. Regarding these shows, Droste noted, "We've never played without the four of us, really. The first couple shows we did before we knew Dan [Rossen], we did with three of us and they kind of sucked. From the get-go, when we were trying to put together a live show, that's when we discovered our sound and that's why I think that was the beginning of the band."

Guitarist and vocalist Daniel Rossen, a friend of Bear's from jazz-camp, joined the band soon after. Rossen stated, "For a long time, I only played my songs to close friends; and it just happened that I lived with Chris Taylor during my second year of college, so he heard them. He was my entrance into Grizzly Bear. He joined the band first, then after a while he suggested I come in with these songs. [...] When I joined, I did about two rehearsals with them, worked out one of my songs to put into the set, then a week later we were out on the road for a two-month tour. It was a real trial-by-fire thing. I was close with Chris and Chris [Bear], but I didn’t know Ed [Droste] at all; it was weird getting to know a stranger by spending all day in the same car." Regarding the decision to turn Grizzly Bear into a full band, Droste noted: "I was quite happy to relinquish the idea of being a solo artist. I hate the thought of being under a spotlight with my guitar, mumbling into a microphone. It's horribly scary to me."

In 2005, The Remixes, a collection of remixed songs from Horn of Plenty, was released by Kanine Records. Contributors include Simon Bookish, Final Fantasy, Soft Pink Truth, DNTEL, Efterklang, and Ariel Pink.

Yellow House (2006–2007)
Their first record as a quartet and to feature material written by Rossen, Yellow House, was released on Warp Records in September 2006. It was named for Droste's mother's house where it was recorded and ranked as one of the top albums of 2006 by The New York Times and Pitchfork. In 2007, Rossen recorded a cover of JoJo's single "Too Little Too Late" for Droste's twenty-ninth birthday. Also in 2007, the band released Friend, an EP which features outtakes, alternate versions of songs, and covers of Grizzly Bear material done by Cansei de Ser Sexy (CSS), Band of Horses, and Atlas Sound. In addition, members of the Dirty Projectors and Beirut collaborated with the band on "Alligator" and the EP's hidden track.

Veckatimest (2008–2010)
In summer of 2008, Grizzly Bear opened for Radiohead on the second leg of their North American tour. In Toronto, on their last date of the tour together, Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood spoke of his love for Grizzly Bear, on stage, calling them his favorite band. Of the experience, Taylor has commented: “It was shocking, and kind of unbelievable. It still is unbelievable. Opening for Radiohead was a huge honor for us, as a band and as individuals. We’ve all had long-term relationships with Radiohead’s music, so we didn’t want to take that opportunity for granted, and do anything less than the best we could." Christopher has also commented that it "was like a dream."

The group then convened at a house on Cape Cod to solidify their third full-length album, Veckatimest, which released in May 2009 and was named "after a tiny, uninhabited island on Cape Cod that the band visited and was inspired by, particularly liking its Native American name." Upon release the album reached No. 8 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and met with widespread critical acclaim. Chris Bear has noted that compared to Yellow House, the 2009 release Veckatimest is more of an accessible pop record. He said: "I think that it’s kinda clearer, clearer equals more accessible I feel like clearer equals more accessible in general as a rule." Veckatimest made many Top Album lists for 2009 (#1 Wall Street Journal, No. 6 Pitchfork, No. 6 New York Times, No. 8 Time).

In 2009 Grizzly Bear played at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on February 28 with Owen Pallett, backed by an orchestra arranged by Nico Muhly and conducted by Michael Christie. They played new songs from Veckatimest as well as songs from Yellow House. Ed Droste has stated that many songs (such as "Central and Remote", "Reprise" and "Campfire") will not be played again unless backed by an orchestra. In March 2009, they played two showcases at South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. In July 2009, they played at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, Illinois.

In 2009, Grizzly Bear collaborated with singer Victoria Legrand on the song "Slow Life" for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. The song is featured in the film as Bella sees an illusion of Edward underwater.

Shields (2011–2014)
In March 2012, Daniel Rossen released a solo EP, Silent Hour/Golden Mile, consisting of tracks he had written for the band's forthcoming album, but were not used.

On June 5, 2012, the song "Sleeping Ute" from their then-untitled upcoming studio album was posted on the band's website, along with the album's track listing. The band also announced tour dates in conjunction with the release of the song, which coincided with the release date of the album. On July 9, 2012, the band revealed the album's title to be Shields.

On September 4, 2012, the album leaked on the internet. Then on September 10, the album was available for an early listen via the NPR website.

Grizzly Bear was scheduled to headline and curated ATP's I'll Be Your Mirror festival at Alexandra Palace in London, UK on May 5, 2013. However, after the event was initially postponed to November 2013, I'll Be Your Mirror was cancelled in August due to "problems with the venue and new date".

On September 17, 2013, the track "Will Calls (Marfa Demo)" was debuted, together with the announcement of two expanded Shields re-releases, followed by the song "Listen and Wait (Bonus Track)" on October 30. The re-releases, Shields: Expanded and Shields: B-sides, were released on November 11, 2013 and include eight B-side remixes, five unreleased songs, and three remixes sold in two formats: a two-CD set and 12" 180 g vinyl.

In January 2014, Grizzly Bear closed out their international Shields tour with a sold-out performance at the Sydney Opera House. The performance was streamed live internationally on YouTube.

Painted Ruins (2015–2019)
Following the completion of the Shields tour, Daniel Rossen embarked upon a solo tour performing tracks from his debut EP, and his other band, Department of Eagles. During the tour, Rossen commented on the future of Grizzly Bear, stating: "We don't have a clear plan. We tend to like to let the records come together naturally. I think everyone wants a little bit of a break and everyone's scattered around the globe. I think towards the end of the year, if it feels natural, we'll start again." In a more recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, singer Ed Droste explained that a new album was in the works. Unlike the recording process for Shields, where Grizzly Bear ensconced themselves at studios in Marfa, Texas and Cape Cod, Massachusetts to construct a truly collaborative album, Droste says the creative process was "more fractured." While two members still live in New York, the other half, including Droste, have traded coasts and now reside in Los Angeles. As of June 2016, Droste had been working on the next album with the rest of Grizzly Bear.

On April 4, 2017, Grizzly Bear posted a short video clip to their website and Instagram account —presumably a demo or sample from their upcoming album. Later, they uploaded a number of clips (all brief and without lyrics) with increasing frequency. On May 5, 2017, the song "Three Rings" was released onto Vevo. Soon after, on May 17, 2017, a new single, "Mourning Sound" was released, and a new album was announced titled Painted Ruins. As promotion, a third track "Four Cypresses" was released onto the band's Vevo on June 23, 2017. A fourth promotion single was released on July 21, 2017 titled "Neighbors".

On August 18, 2017 Painted Ruins was released to positive reviews. The album was followed by a music video for the track "Losing All Sense," released onto the band's Vevo on September 28, 2017, featuring actresses Busy Philipps and Freckle.

Ed Droste's departure and extended hiatus (2020–present)
In 2020, Ed Droste confirmed that he had departed from the band and had enrolled in school to become a therapist. His departure was not announced publicly, but was confirmed during a podcast appearance in 2020. Discussing his departure from the band in November 2023, Droste noted: "I guess the decision came when I realized I didn't like the lifestyle in the band, which wasn't sustainable for me. I wasn't feeling healthy anymore, and so I just decided to try something new. [...] It was just difficult at the end for me and a bit of it was losing its luster, I suppose. And never say never. There's no official breakup or anything. I'm just doing this for now and who knows what'll happen in the future."

Daniel Rossen and Chris Bear continued to work together closely during the band's hiatus. At first collaborating with Fleet Foxes on the track "Cradling Mother, Cradling Woman" from their 2020 album, Shore. Rossen released his debut solo album, You Belong There, in April 2022, which featured significant contributions from Bear throughout. The pair composed the soundtrack to the 2023 film, Past Lives, which was released on A24 Music.

In an interview promoting You Belong There, Rossen confirmed that Grizzly Bear is currently on hiatus. "There's no official line here," Rossen said. "I still work closely with Chris Bear, I still talk with Chris Taylor fairly often — he lives in Spain now. Ed and I are still in contact, but he needs a little distance from us for personal reasons. He's pursuing a different career. We may do something again. When those [Painted Ruins] tours ended, I was about to have a child, Chris Taylor just had his son, Chris Bear has a family, he was pursuing other work. It made sense to have a break there to do other things. We've always taken time between records. I don't know what the future holds. I think for now it's safe to say we're inactive, but I'm very reluctant to make some grand statement like, 'We've broken up!' I don't trust that, especially because people come back together again. I think it's entirely possible that we could, I just don't know."

Rossen elaborated in a further interview: "I think where we are now is just a very natural — you know, Grizzly Bear, I joined that band at the end of 2004, so you consider how long that was. The stretch that we were active was like 14 years. And I think if anything it’s just like, people change, lives change. I really respect bands and artists that can keep it together forever, but I think we all just wanted to do some different things with our lives for a little bit. That doesn’t mean the band’s over. It’s not. There’s no official line on that. We’re not broken up or anything. It’s just, you know, Ed is pursuing a different career. He went back to school. He wanted to do that. He was having not the most productive time on the road. It was not great for him. It wasn’t really great for any of us by the end, honestly. It was just… we wanted to do something different." In November 2023, Ed Droste suggested that the band could regroup in the future: "It's not a destroyed entity. It can easily come back and exist if the time is right and the mood is right."

Philanthropy
In 2009, Grizzly Bear contributed "Service Bell" (with Feist) and "Deep Blue Sea" to the AIDS benefit album Dark Was the Night produced by the Red Hot Organization. That same year they also released a charity T-shirt via the Yellow Bird Project, to raise money for the Brighter Planet Foundation.

Johan Wilcke

Johan Carl Wilcke was a Swedish physicist.

Biography
Wilcke was born in Wismar, son of a clergyman who in 1739 was appointed second pastor of the German Church in Stockholm. He went to the German school in Stockholm and enrolled at the University of Uppsala in 1749. He spent the years from 1751 travelling abroad and received the magister degree from the University of Rostock in 1757, after having published the dissertation De electricitatibus contrariis. In 1759 he became the first "Thamian lecturer" of experimental physics at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, a position created through a donation from the wealthy merchant Sebastian Tham, and a member of the academy. He became a titular professor in 1770, and permanent secretary of the Academy of Sciences in 1784. He died in Stockholm in 1796.

His two areas of significant research were electricity and caloric theory. In 1762 he invented an electrostatic generator that was a first version of the electrophorus, a device named and popularized in 1775 by Alessandro Volta. In 1772 he calculated the latent heat of ice. In 1781, he coined the concept and term of "specific heat" (Specifica-varme), in analogy with the term "specific gravity" (Specifica-tyngd). In 1789 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society

West Essex

West Essex is the far northwestern region of Essex County, New Jersey, United States, bordering Passaic County and Morris County.

It is considered to be one of the more affluent parts of the county, as opposed to the eastern Essex cities such as Newark, East Orange, and Irvington. As opposed to these city settings, West Essex are more suburban. Most of the municipalities have typically been white ethnically, where Newark and its bordering cities all have black majorities. West Essex also has substantial Hispanic and Asian populations. Places that separate Newark and East Orange from the West Essex area, such as South Orange, Maplewood, West Orange, Bloomfield, and Montclair have a balance of black and white people, and of different classes.

Municipalities
Caldwell, West Caldwell, Roseland, Essex Fells, North Caldwell, and Fairfield share much history and culture having belonged to the Horseneck Tract.

The Caldwell and West Caldwell share a public school system with students in both municipalities attending James Caldwell High School in West Caldwell. The other four communities each have their own school district through sixth grade, however, students from all four communities attend West Essex Regional Junior High School and West Essex High School, both in North Caldwell, from seventh through twelfth grade.

The six municipalities are covered by hyperlocal news site West Essex Now.

Residents within each of the six municipalities regularly travel between the communities. Other services connect the area, for example, the West Caldwell public pools allow residents from the other five municipalities to become members for a higher fee, the three Caldwells share a post office, and emergency dispatching for Essex Fells is performed by North Caldwell. Fairfield and West Caldwell share control over the Essex County Airport, which lies partially in both boroughs. Residents of Essex Fells, which has no commercial or industrial sectors, depend on strong commercial and industrial sectors from the other five communities.

 * Verona and Cedar Grove, between West Essex and Montclair, are part of the West Essex region as well, as they belonged to the Horseneck Tract, though the two communities are generally much more independent to themselves than the six communities to their west.
 * Livingston, West Orange, and the Upper Montclair section of Montclair are also sometimes considered to be part of West Essex. Their similarities to West Essex are based on the fact that small portions of all three towns were long ago part of the Horseneck Tract that makes up present-day West Essex.  Though the three towns border other West Essex towns and share similar socioeconomics, the majority of these towns, especially their downtown areas, developed as suburban offshoots of the city of Newark, not from Horseneck development in any major way. However, Livingston's local newspaper is called the West Essex Tribune.
 * Millburn and Short Hills (a hamlet of Millburn) lie to the south of Livingston which itself is south of mainstream West Essex. The town of Millburn, like Livingston, is geographically on the western border of Essex County.  However, it is usually not considered to be part of "West Essex", which implies the northwestern area of Essex County that was originally known as Horseneck.  The southwestern Essex County towns, like Livingston and Millburn, are generally considered to have developed as suburban Newark sprawl, as opposed to the Horseneck area which originally developed independently.

18-inch Mark 30 torpedo

The Mark 30 torpedo was a British 18-inch air dropped anti-submarine passive acoustic homing torpedo. The torpedo was air dropped from the Hawker-Siddeley Nimrod and Avro Shackleton aircraft.

The Mark 30, also referred to by its project name as Dealer B, was an eight-fin passive homing torpedo using conventional propellers. Issued in June 1954, Mark 30 production saw approximately 1,200 being built. It served in both the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force until 1975. Development on a variant, the Mark 30 Mod 1, was cancelled in 1955 after the Royal Navy decided to purchase the American Mark 43 torpedo as a replacement.

Berthold II, Duke of Carinthia

Berthold II, Duke of Carinthia (c. 1000 – 6 November 1078), also known as Berthold I of Zähringen, was a progenitor of the Swabian House of Zähringen. From 1061 until 1077, he was the Duke of Carinthia and Margrave of Verona.

Life
He was possibly a descendant of one Berthold (or Bezelin) von Villingen (d. 1024), a Swabian count in the Breisgau region and relative of the Ahalolfing dynasty. The early Zähringer were close allies of the Imperial Ottonian dynasty; Berthold von Villingen's son Count Birchtilo was among the nobles capturing and mutilating Antipope John XVI in 998, at the behest of Emperor Otto III. On his mother's side of the family, Berthold probably descended from the Hohenstaufen family, who then ruled as Swabian counts in Ortenau, Thurgau, Breisgau, and Baar.

Berthold quickly rose to be one of the most powerful counts in Swabia, and the Salian emperor Henry III even promised his party-follower the title of Duke of Swabia, then held by Otto of Schweinfurt. However, upon Otto's death in 1057, Henry's widow Agnes of Poitou gave the Duchy of Swabia in fief to Count Rudolf of Rheinfelden. Berthold received, as compensation for the abandonment of his claim, the Duchy of Carinthia and the March of Verona, after the death of the Ezzonid duke Conrad III in 1061. As a result, the Zähringer finally ascended to the status of a princely house.

Berthold remained the only Carinthian duke from the Zähringen dynasty. Both in Carinthia and Verona, like his Ezzonid predecessor, he was considered a foreign ruler and was never really accepted by the local nobles. According to the contemporary chronicler Lambert of Hersfeld, he was even temporarily declared deposed in 1072/1073. Moreover, Berthold fell out with King Henry IV during the fierce Investiture Controversy when, together with Duke Welf I of Bavaria, he supported the election of his former rival Rudolf of Rheinfelden as antiking, after King Henry's Walk to Canossa in 1077. In turn, the king convened the Imperial Diet at Ulm, where he seized the duchy and gave Carinthia to Liutold of Eppenstein, whose grandfather Adalbero had held it until 1035.

Berthold then retired to his Swabian home territory, where he had to ward off constant attacks by King Henry's forces. He died the next year at Limburg Castle and was buried in Hirsau Abbey, where he had backed the construction of the monastery church under Abbot William.

Marriage and children
Berthold married one Richwara, possibly a descendant of Duke Conrad II of Carinthia. The couple had at least three sons:
 * Herman I (c. 1040 – 1074), used the Veronese margravial title and became progenitor of the margraves of Baden
 * Berthold II (c. 1050 – 1111), Duke of Swabia in opposition to Frederick of Hohenstaufen from 1092 to 1098, then duke of Zähringen
 * Gebhard (c. 1050 – 1110), bishop of Constance from 1084.

Richwara also gave birth to two daughters:
 * Liutgard (d. about 1119), married the Nordgau margrave Diepold of Vohburg; mother of Margrave Diepold III and grandmother of Adelaide of Vohburg, the first wife of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa
 * Richinza, married Count Rudolf of Frickingen, secondly married to Louis of Sigmaringen, progenitor of the House of Helfenstein.

In his second marriage, Berthold was married to Beatrice, sister of Count Theodoric I of Montbéliard.

In the end, the Zähringer were able to maintain their position, when around 1098 Berthold II reached an agreement with the Hohenstaufen duke Frederick I of Swabia, retaining the title of "Duke of Zähringen". From 1112, Herman II, son of Herman I, ruled as margrave of Baden.

Analogue television in the United Kingdom

Analogue television in the United Kingdom includes terrestrial, satellite and cable services that were broadcast using analogue television signals. Following the termination of Virgin Media's analogue cable television service in Milton Keynes in November 2013, all television in the United Kingdom is broadcast in digital only.

Terrestrial
Analogue terrestrial television in the United Kingdom was, traditionally, the method most people in the UK, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man used to receive television. It was phased out and replaced by digital terrestrial television between 2007 and 2012 on a region-by-region basis. Before the switchover, some people struggled to receive the digital transmissions as power levels were very low from some transmitters.

Satellite
When Direct-To-Home satellite broadcasting first came to the UK, there was competition between Sky Television and BSB, each which used competing technologies. Sky used the already common PAL picture format, and shared space on the Astra 19.2°E Pan-European cluster of satellites, whereas BSB used D-MAC carrier modulation, a bespoke system designed by the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA). Alongside this, at the heart of the BSB advertising campaign was the 'Squarial', a diamond-shaped flat Satellite antenna, much smaller and (supposedly) aesthetically pleasing to the eye, unlike the 80CM dishes that were supplied by Sky. By developing such a bespoke system, BSB was significantly more expensive than Sky Television's satellite offering, and sign-up rates to BSB were low. Only 6 months after launch, the two companies merged to form British Sky Broadcasting, moving all customers to the cheaper, but inferior Astra and PAL system.

In more recent times, BSkyB, launched a digital service (called Sky Digital) in October 1998 based on DVB-S. This allowed many more channels and was marketed with a smaller dish. Take-up was very quick and successful, and Sky discontinued the former analogue service in June 2001 – just two-and-a-half years after digital satellite was launched. Although some of the channels which had been part of their package, such as CNN and CNBC Europe, have continued broadcasting unaffected by Sky's departure.

It was originally planned for the analogue switch-off to occur on 31 December 2002, but this was achieved 15 months earlier. The last three channels, Sky Premier, Sky One and Sky Sports 2, were switched off at 00:01 on 28 September 2001. Sky analogue equipment could still pick up German channels until 30 April 2012 when they were shut down.

Cable
Cable also broadcasts using standard (PAL) signals though often scrambled to prevent people watching the channels without paying a subscription.

Cable has not fully transitioned to the digital format (DVB-C) as some parts of the physical cable network are not suitable for transmitting the digital signals.

In most analogue cable TV areas, customers received a letter from Virgin Media offering a free switch to their digital TV service. If the customer chose not to migrate to digital, they would've lost all TV channels when the switch off occurred.

Customers with the cable feed plugged directly into their TV or have an RF bypass installed, which allows them to watch the analogue terrestrial channels independent of their set-top box, will also cease to receive channels when the analogue signal is switched off. Customers will still be able to receive channels via their digital set-top box. In some parts of the network where digital cable is available, analogue transmissions have been ceased in order that the bandwidth may be used for more data for the digital platform, in others both systems run alongside each other, though often new channels will launch on digital at the expense of channels on the older analogue network, which encourages those users to switch.

A TV that is capable of tuning frequencies used for cable is required for watching, plus note that no channels are receivable in Ex-Telewest areas as Virgin Media have stopped their analogue television in these areas.

Milton Keynes
In Milton Keynes, there has been a cable network ownership dispute between BT and Virgin Media for a decade. Milton Keynes was designated as a new town in 1967 and benefited by having the UK's first ever analogue cable television networks, owned by BT. In the 1990s, EU competition forced BT to sell/lease the service to NTL (later becoming Virgin Media). Since then, BT and Virgin have been unable to reach agreement on physical access, and as a result, Virgin Media are unable to offer digital cable TV in Milton Keynes.

In Milton Keynes in 2009, there were about 35 channels available on the analogue cable network, of which 18 were free-to-air. Account holder residents paid at least £4 monthly for TV, which included the following channels: BBC News, British Eurosport, Cartoon Network, CNBC, CNN, Discovery Channel, Discovery Real Time, Universal Channel, Movies 24, MTV, Film4, QVC and Yesterday. There were four optional add-on packs, which include channels: Challenge, Gold, Nickelodeon, VH1, Sky Living, Sky1, Comedy Central, TCM, Syfy, History, National Geographic and Sky News, which ranged from £5 to £13 extra per month.

From 28 November 2013, Virgin Media ceased to provide an analogue TV service in Milton Keynes.

Meanwhile, BT are re-using the cable TV ducting to run fibre optic broadband cabling as part of the FTTP trial in the town.

Westminster
Westminster in London had the same problem, where BT owned the cables. Residents are also unable to install satellite dishes due to constraints. BT's cables have insufficient bandwidth, so Virgin are unable to provide fibre optic services there, which in turn means no digital cable TV. For years, residents were waiting for digital cable TV to come, but finally on 8 August 2011, Virgin Media withdrew all its services in Westminster, including its analogue TV service. It was closed completely in January 2012. Now with satellite not allowed in the district and IPTV unable to get signals, the only option left is terrestrial television, like Freeview.

City of Rockdale

The City of Rockdale was a local government area in southern and St George regions of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The city centre was located 12 km south-west of the Sydney central business district, on the western shores of Botany Bay. First proclaimed on 13 January 1871, Rockdale was formerly known as the Municipality of West Botany until 1887 and the Municipality of Rockdale before being proclaimed as a City in 1995. Rockdale was amalgamated with the neighbouring City of Botany Bay on 9 September 2016 to form the new municipality of Bayside Council.

The last mayor of the City of Rockdale at amalgamation was Cr. Bill Saravinovski, a member of the Labor Party.

West Botany
The City of Rockdale was originally proclaimed as the "Municipal District of West Botany" on 13 January 1871 and covered 9 mi2 with two Wards, West Botany Ward and Arncliffe Ward. The proclamation followed a petition signed by 85 residents calling for incorporation that was published in the Government Gazette on 22 August 1870. The first election was held on 8 February 1871 at the Tempe Family Hotel on Rocky Point Road. The mayor of Marrickville, Charles St Julian, was appointed Returning Officer for the first election of six aldermen and two auditors, which was declared on 14 February 1871:

On 28 February 1871, Frederick Keene was appointed the first Clerk. Thomas Willmot was appointed Clerk on 13 August 1872. Thomas Leeder was appointed Clerk on 7 August 1877. Percival Somerville was appointed Clerk on 23 March 1905. On 17 December 1886, West Botany Ward was split in two, adding Rockdale Ward and Scarborough Ward and bringing the number of Aldermen from six to nine. Among the main developers during this period was Frederick Jamison Gibbes, a member of parliament whose name is perpetuated by Gibbes Street in Banksia. From 1872, Council met in the first Council Chambers, a small purpose-built stone building on the western side of Rocky Point Road, Arncliffe built by Christopher Bush of St Peters. It continued in use until 11 December 1888, when a new Town Hall was opened by the mayor, William George Judd, on the corner of Rocky Point Road and Bryant Street, Rockdale. The old Council Chambers building was eventually sold in 1904.

Rockdale Municipality
The name "Rockdale" for the West Botany area was first suggested in 1878, and that name gained more credence when the local railway station on the new Illawarra rail line, opened on 15 October 1884, was also given the name Rockdale. However, by the time the neighbouring Boroughs of Botany and North Botany (Mascot from 1911) were proclaimed on 29 March 1888, it was clear that a name change was desirable. On 17 May 1888 the Parliament of New South Wales passed the Rockdale Municipality Naming Act (No.33, 1888), and West Botany became the "Municipal District of Rockdale". On 31 December 1900, a fourth ward was added, Hopetoun Ward, named after the soon-to-be first Governor-General of Australia, bringing the number of aldermen to twelve. The 1887 Town Hall was replaced by the current Rockdale Town Hall in 1940, and was designed by Rockdale architect Douglas Gardiner.

The area of the municipality was reduced when the mouth of Cooks River was moved further south of its original position in the mid-1940s, to allow for the extension of Sydney Airport at Mascot. Under the Local Government (Areas) Act 1948, the Municipality of Bexley, which was located immediately to the West and had separated from Hurstville in 1900, became the First Ward of Rockdale Municipality. Rockdale was declared a city in 1995 as the "City of Rockdale".

2002 corruption inquiry
During 2002, two elected officials of Rockdale City Council were at the centre of an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) inquiry. The inquiry revealed that the deputy mayor, Adam McCormick (Labor) and Councillor Andrew Smyrnis (Liberal) engaged in corrupt conduct with two property developers Con Chartofillis and Terry Andriotakis via two intermediaries, Manuel Limberis and Tony Retsos. The ICAC recommended to the New South Wales Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) that charges be laid against all six individuals under the and the. Both councillors resigned from council and a by-election was held on 31 August 2002 to replace the two disgraced councillors.

Following consideration of the briefs and evidence involved, the DPP commenced action. It was successful in recording convictions, and the known determinations made by the Courts are as follows:
 * Smyrnis was sentenced to two years periodic detention.
 * Retsos was fined $80,000 and sentenced to three years periodic detention.
 * McCormick, protested his innocence; with Smyrnis agreeing to testify against him. McCormick was sentenced to a maximum of five years in custody for receiving $70,000 in bribes in return for delivering Labor Party support for a development application and for lying to the inquiry.

Amalgamation
A 2015 review of local government boundaries by the NSW Government Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal recommended that the City of Botany Bay merge with the City of Rockdale to form a new council with an area of 50 km2 and support a population of approximately 153,000. In response to the merger proposal, Rockdale Council indicated their preference to merge with the City of Kogarah and the City of Hurstville, forming a single "St George Council".

With the proclamation of the majority of council amalgamations on 12 May 2016, Botany Bay Council appealed the decision in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, thereby delaying the proposed amalgamation until a decision was made by the Court. The Supreme Court rejected the appeal in early September 2016, and the Minister for Local Government, Paul Toole, moved quickly to proclaim the formation of Bayside Council on 9 September 2016, with the general manager of Rockdale since 2011, Meredith Wallace, appointed as the new general manager of Bayside Council. On 9 September 2017, the first council consisting of fifteen councillors across 5 wards was elected, and the former mayor of Rockdale, Bill Saravinovski, was elected as the first mayor on 27 September.

Demographics
At the 2011 Census, there were 97,340 people in the Rockdale local government area, of these 49.4% were male and 50.6% were female. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 0.6% of the population. The median age of people in the City of Rockdale was 36 years. Children aged 0 – 14 years made up 17.4% of the population and people aged 65 years and over made up 15.1% of the population. Of people in the area aged 15 years and over, 50.9% were married and 10.8% were either divorced or separated.

Population growth in the City of Rockdale between the 2001 Census and the 2006 Census was 5.09%; and in the subsequent five years to the 2011 Census, population growth was 5.66%. When compared with total population growth of Australia for the same periods, being 5.78% and 8.32% respectively, population growth in the Rockdale local government area was on par with the national average. The median weekly income for residents within the City of Rockdale was on par with the national average.

The proportion of residents who stated their ancestry was Macedonian was 6.5 times the New South Wales and national averages; the proportion of households where Macedonian is spoken at home is in excess of eight times the state and national averages; and the proportion of residents who stated an affiliation with Eastern Orthodox religion was in excess of six times the state and national averages.

Final composition and election method
Rockdale City Council was composed of fifteen councillors elected proportionally as five separate wards, each electing three councillors. All councillors were elected for a fixed four-year term of office. The mayor was elected by the councillors at the first meeting of the council. The last election was held on 8 September 2012, and the final makeup of the council was as follows:

Library
Rockdale first tried to establish a library service in the late 1880s, with the council appointing the first Librarian, William Henry Hardwick, on 31 October 1890. The Rockdale Free Library was officially opened in the Town Hall by Sir Henry Parkes on 10 April 1893 with a modest collection of 200 books. This library, however did not see much use and by 1900 the library's books were described that they would go mouldy but for the moving they get when the attendant dusts them." Rockdale Council therefore resolved to divest council of the library and move the collection to the Rockdale School of Arts. Despite several attempts to recreate this library service, Rockdale Council did not devote any time to the project until 1954 when it decided to start a 'Mobile Library' service as a first act to gauge the level of public interest.

Beginning in November 1955, the Rockdale mobile library, with five stops and 9,500 books, was funded through a special library levy on ratepayers of 25 pence in the pound. With more than 2500 borrowers registered in the first five weeks, the demand required council to increase the number of stops from five to eleven and employ two extra library staff. This demand continued to grow and Rockdale moved to re-establish a permanent library, opening the first Rockdale library in February 1958 with a stock of 8,002 books. Located behind the Town Hall, in September 1983 the library building was demolished to make way for the Rockdale Council Administration Centre and the Town Hall was refurbished for the Rockdale Central Library opened in September 1984.

The Rockdale Central Library remained in the Town Hall in a northern wing dedicated for the purposed until this section was demolished to make way for a new library, designed by Brewster Hjorth Architects. The new Rockdale Library fronting the Princes Highway was officially opened on 30 July 2016 as the central library for the new Bayside Council.

Separate page for the Local Government Area
As per discussion at Talk:List of Sydney suburbs, I have created a separate page for the City of Rockdale, the Local Government Area. -- Ianblair23 12:46, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Infobox Update
This page has had its infobox updated to Infobox Australian Place. This update has been automatically preformed by TheJoshBot. Please be aware that poorly filled templates can have infomation lost in the transition that is unknown to the bot. Check the page history for more infomation. The following infomation has been lost in the transition, and will need to be converted to the document prose:

I found the entry confusing and ambiguous. It is necessary to distinguish between the local government area governed by the Council-the City (or, earlier, Municipality) of Rockdale-and the principal suburb after which it has been named. I know it is a difficulty. I have tried to make it clearer by retaining the original text and adding distinguishing words. Phayla 6 May 2007

Restored entry to original format as much as possible. Please check (copied old version so it should be identical). Am working on a different presentation of the history. Will reveal it when I am ready. Phayla 8 May 2007.
 * I restored the history information. This is useful information and belongs on this page. If you want to create a separate 'History of the City Of Rockdale' that's fine but we also need more information here. Ideally, I would like to see something similar to the Sutherland Shire page. J Bar 00:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Important data appears to have been lost when Municipality of Rockdale, New South Wales was transferred to this site. Has anyone any idea of how I can retrieve my original material from the earlier site? Phayla 8 May 2007.
 * Send a message to the wiki editor who transferred the data. Their details would appear in the history tab. J Bar 00:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on City of Rockdale. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Æthelbert of Sussex

Aethelbert (Æðelberht; fl. 8th century) was King of Sussex, but is known only from charters. The dates of Æðelberht's reign are unknown beyond the fact that it overlapped at least in part with the bishopric of Sigeferth of Selsey, as Sigeferth witnessed an undated charter of Æðelberht in which Æðelberht is styled Ethelbertus rex Sussaxonum.

Sigeferth, called Sicgga for short, was the 3rd Bishop of Selsey, consecrated in 733 by Archbishop Tatwine, and was still bishop in 747, when he attended the Synod of Clofesho. His date of death is unknown.

Another undated charter, in which Æðelberht is called Adelbertus rex Australium Saxonum (Æðelberht, King of the South Saxons), is believed to be a forgery.

Barker (1947) commented "This pair of charters have certain peculiar phrases, especially the firmiter ... præsumat which takes the place of a form introduced by Si quis in most charters. Both state that they were written by the king, and in No. X confixi is a very unusual word for this; it means literally 'pinned together', hence here 'put together' or 'compiled'. The early eighth century was age of enlightened kings: Ealdfrið and Eadberht of Northumbria and Ine of Wessex are examples. It is, therefore, not impossible that these two charters were in fact personally drawn up by the king." However, "confixi" is only in the forged charter.

Æðelberht is also mentioned in an undated endorsement to a charter of Noðhelm as Ethilberchto rege.

Talk:David Cooper (psychiatrist)

Untitled
A single edit to this article added a death date of 1986. I can't find any evidence via Google that he has died. Removed. Cite, please? -- The Anome 13:45, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure I recall his obituaries some 20 years ago. There is an undated tribute article at and a 2001 article which gives 1986 as date of death at. Probably better to reinstate the 1986 death, not least now that there is also the Living People category to make its omission mor misleading? AllyD 13:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Anti-Psychiatry Movement
A case could be made that Dr. Cooper was the only member of the anti-psychiatry movement, insofar as it was a movement at all. Laing eschewed the term; Szasz & Foucault were critical of psychiatry years before Cooper coined the term.

A case could also be made that an anti-psychiatry bias began in the wake of WWII: soldiers were returning from overseas with a plethora of emotional disturbances, even while (in the USA, anyway) doctors had made a concerted effort at the intake (draft induction) level to "weed out" the incipiently disturbed.

In any case, it's a vague generalization to lump Szasz et al. into the anti-psychiatry movement: that's the job of pop media. BubbleDine (talk) 13:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Calton/Archive04

Yet another archive

I didn't
A troll (already banned a number of times) have been changing dates on European topics from dd/mm/yy to mm/dd/yy in articles I edit. (He is a user who has been stalking me and some others in a campaign of harrassment. He only edits articles I write!) I simply reverted his edits. Any errors that were there weren't, AFAIK, my doing. They were in the version that was reverted to. BTW I am all in favour of the links and endorsed them the moment the idea was first mooted. Fear ÉIREANN \(caint) 17:00, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Everyking drinking game
Hi Calton. I know that Everyking's attitude is not the sweetest or most diplomatic on the Administrator's Noticeboard. I also admit that I got a bit of a guilty laugh out of your 'Drink!' comments the first couple of times. Nevertheless, he is generally a good, productive editor and contributor to the wiki. Rather than derisive remarks, could you make an effort to limit yourself to constructive criticism? Lead by example, if you will. I still hang on to a faint hope that his ability to speak civilly on WP:AN can be rehabilitated. Thanks, TenOfAllTrades(talk) 11:40, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Stop screwing around with dates
Stop screwing around with dates. It has been Wikipedia policy for well over a year to use the appropriate form of dates for an article, ie, the preferred American format mm/dd/yy for articles on American topics, and the international preferred standard of dd/mm/yy for not US, or specifically European topics, following the example of how Wikipedia uses American English for American article topics and international English for European topics. The preferences are set up to covert all wikified dates to the format chosen by a user, but not all users know how to do it. If you persist in adding in American dating to non-American topics they will simply be reverted on sight and will your edits of dates will reported as vandalism. Fear ÉIREANN \(caint) 03:18, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Jtdirl, you might not want to come down so hard on Calton here. The Manual of Style specifies
 * "It is generally preferable to use the format used by local English speakers at the location of the event." (emphasis added)
 * For the sake of consistency and clarity for users who have not set date preferences, it is a good idea for dates to remain consistent within any given article. In the interest of avoiding conflict (and really silly edit wars) it is often preferable to retain the same date format used by the original author (similar to the way we handle American/British English issues).  In the article George VI of the United Kingdom, I note that the early versions of the article contain dates of the form December 14 (not 14 December).  Heck, Jtdirl, you even made several edits to the article over the course of the last two or three years that left the dates in the 'wrong' format. It's only been in the last few days that you've been edit warring over the date format...why now, and why is it so important?
 * Incidentally, could you be more careful about how you're entering the dates? By leaving the trailing space inside the wikilink ( 14 December, instead of the correct 14 December ), the date format customization for users who have set their preferences doesn't work.  TenOfAllTrades(talk) 04:10, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

The policy as has been implemented since the original vote has been to use the format relevant to the location — so all US topics should have US spelling and dating; UK and European topics should have British English spelling and dating, and those in between should remain in the format chosen by their original author. British monarchs by definition should have the British/international dating system; most do in any case. Any that don't have, as is normal in series of articles, are being converted to following the one convention (just as any US presidents written in British English and British dating are being converted to use the style normal for local English speakers in the US.

BTW I did not leave the trailing space inside the wikilink. From what I have been able to work out, another user did so. When the Americanised dates were being returned to the required British dates for British articles they were inadvertently returned to a form that had that error. But because my preferences are set the error was not showing up. I've corrected the error and left a message with person I think made the original mistake pointing out that problem leaving such a space causes.

re why the sudden interest? A sockpuppet for a banned user in the last few days targeted a lot of royal articles and deliberately put American dating, spelling, etc into British articles. I and others ended up repeatedly having to impose indefinite bans on the asshole (he is notorious!), sometimes imposing bans on different sockpuppets of his in the space of an hour. His action drew the attention of a couple of users to the fact that not every article in the series actually following the same dating and spelling. Some had either been originally written in American-English and American dates or had been Americanised over the months. As is the norm, all the parts of the series are being checked to make sure they all confirm to the one format. (Some US topics are also being checked, and where they are in BE or using British dating, they are being converted over to what is the type of english and dating used by local English speakers, in those cases AE and American dating. Fear ÉIREANN \(caint)  04:38, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

I did not deliberately set out to ensure the date preferences would not work, contrary to your assertion. If you had checked out your facts, you would see that it was [] that an anonymous user made the edit that mucked up the preferences. By a fluke he happened to have been followed onto the page as editor by a sockpuppet of a banned user who had been targeting that and other pages. Like the others who had to deal with that idiot as well as blocking him I had to revert his changes. I hit the revert button.

That is what happened. So keep your paranoid dillusions to yourself in future. And BTW you have twice accused me of deliberately adding in the space after the month to stop the wikilink working. If you had bothered to do 2 minutes checking before making wild allegations you would have seen that it was not true. Next time get off your butt and actually check the facts first before making stupid allegations. Fear ÉIREANN \(caint) 05:21, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Global View of Neurofeedback
Hi Calton

Your reversions to the neurofeedback article seem a little overzealous. I for one, am no scientologist. Neurofeedback is used in many ways. Your labeling of my postings as propaganda for scientology may even betray your bias as a feedback cultist. Also, the insistence on the purely technical perspectives of neurofeedback researchers and promoters will lead to a view that is far too narrow for wikipedia. Your opinion about this matter is welcome on the discussion section. Otherwise, you are a long way from consensus. Regards D.Right 13:11, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Removal of link to immediate family member of bio subject Parodi
Dear Calton,

First let me say, I do agree with you that many of user:aesculapius' (whom I will refer to as Asclape, for ease of typing) recent activities on Wiki have been slightly misdirected. He has seemed to be promoting his father and himself in ways that I don't think he may have realized were not in line with Wiki policy. I appreciate your efforts, and also user Zoe's, efforts to inform Asclape of Wiki policy regarding this. Still, I am sure you were not intending to drive Asclape totally out of Wiki, which has nearly been the case. I am sure that you and Zoe were both entirely correct in your interpretations of Wiki policy, but sometimes policy can end up becoming more important than the people it is meant to help, and sometimes it can be used more as a 'stick', than as the helpful tool it was meant to be.

You must admit, the link to Parodi's son's site on Parodi Sr.'s page's External Links section is no great affront to Wiki policy, if at all. I have written to Asclape, suggesting to him that in the future he might do well to refrain from editing anything to do with himself or his father. Please, I hope you might relent in your insistence on this one small thing. You and I both have more important issues to deal with at Wiki. I have put Asclape's talk page on my watch list and if there is a single further concern posted there regarding any more of this type of activity, I will join whomever has posted any such alerts and try to work with Asclape more dilligently to convince him why these policies are in place, before such a drastic action as a ban might become necessary.

Thanks for reading this,

removal of 1983 date for May 5 - Thomas Lasswell
Why did you remove that? I was definatly born on May 5 1983, yes, I have not done anything significant as of yet, but in the future you never know. The whole idea of information is the fact it can be there and this is a wiki. Removing my name is inapproporate.

--Lasswellt 02:40, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

For the most part those people are actors, and of course actors are going to have Wiki pages about them. However there are others of us that have made contrubutions in other ways to society, and won't be recongized because we do other things. Editing out people's names that were legitmately born (or died) on May 5 is silly because what's the point of having the page in the first place? Why not just let it become a compiled list of people's names that were born on that date? People can then go and fill in and make new pages for those without a wiki page of their own.

Oh, and I do agree with your addition to the Zorica Pantic-Tanner page, which needs to be cleaned up. I added it as a quick entry and forgot to go back to it...

--Lasswellt 03:06, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Calton, I didn't mean to suggest that you were actually an alcoholic. The remark was meant as a gentle rebuke for the drinking game reference, which you should know was unnecessary.
 * I apologise for my remark. No offense was intended.  TenOfAllTrades(talk) 06:14, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Editing Information You Know Little About
Carlton, it is a bad idea to edit articles you know little about: i.e. Whittier College's William Penn Society. Your knowledge of the Contra Costa Community College district leads one to believe that you most likely live in the Bay Area and do not have any first hand knowledge of the goings on of Whittier College nor The William Penn Society. Please refrain from vandalizing the page.

Thank You.

Owning an Article
Again slick, let go of the subject. Please DO NOT edit information you are ignorant about, it is harmful to the Wikipedia process. The William Penn Society unanimously passed a resolution naming certain alumni as members of note, it is not YOUR decision to claim who are the official notable alumni. As a matter of fact, what the hell is your expertise on this subject? If you refuse to tell me I shall demand a discussion on the topic before further editing.

Dear Mr. Minor League Internet Nerd In Japan
What the fuck do you care about the article, why must you insist on harassing its existence? It is a fact that those alumni have made significant contributions to the life of the Society. Wikipedia is a source of facts. The Society is a significant part of life at Whittier College, another fact. These are not mere "frat boy" opinions, but if they were they would still weigh in much more than the opinion of some ex-patriate Japophile who knows nothing about The William Penn Society or its impact on the Whittier College community. As a matter of fact all nine societies have a major impact on Whittier College life. Plenty of social fraternities have listings on the Wikipedia and rightly so. Wikipedia is an encylopedia of the miscellanous as well as important facts.

For the last time I ask that you desist from vandalizing this article. I cannot fathom your interest in it. I implore you to tell me why oh why must you bother with it? If I am a minor-league fratboy then what are you, the person who bothers to wreck a minor-league fratboy's creation?

'''Please please please stick to articles you KNOW about! Ignorance is the Wikipedia's greatest enemy. You don't see me screwing around with entries on advanced physics! I only contribute to poltiical information that I know, historical information I know, and musical information that I know! Stick to what you know.'''

There has been a lengthy and exhausting discussion at Talk:Abraham Lincoln and now at Talk:Elvis Presley and its archived Talk pages surrounding the exact same issue as was discussed and voted upon already on the Abraham Lincoln matter. Because this has the potential to create a new standard for what is acceptable Wikipedia sources, I thought that you might want to be aware of it. If the policy consensus arrived at on the Abraham Lincoln issue is set aside in the Presley article it will result in new ones for countless others. I think the existing determination of what constitutes a proper source should be defined by the Wikipedia community and set as firm policy which would go a long way in helping to substantially reduce the tiresome and repeated edit wars. Thank you for your interest. Please note I have left the same message for others who worked on this matter. Ted Wilkes 20:51, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Query: What is wrong with the passage that Lambert was an insightful chronicler of Hollywood? I do not understand why you have removed this sentence from the Gavin Lambert article. In a review of Lambert's Cukor biography, Joseph McBride writes,
 * The novelist, screenwriter, and biographer Gavin Lambert, a British expatriate who has lived in Los Angeles since the 1950s, is a keenly observant, wryly witty chronicler of Hollywood's social mores and artistic achievements. His fiction -- such as The Slide Area: Scenes of Hollywood Life, Inside Daisy Clover, and The Goodby People -- and his biographies of the actresses Norma Shearer and Alla Nazimova are marked by a compassion toward his dreamstruck characters and an unsentimental shrewdness in examining the processes through which they court or surmount self-destruction. As an interviewer, Lambert is subtle and discreet. See

Hong Kong and Macao
Hello Calton perhaps you'd be interested to join the discussion at talk:lists of office-holders on how Hong Kong and Macao should be presented. I was basically restoring the list to the way they are presented prior to user:Huaiwei's first attempt to edit according to her/his point of view. She/he has edited some other articles according to this point of view too. — Instantnood 06:49, August 29, 2005 (UTC) (modified 07:24, August 29, 2005 (UTC))
 * I think it would be greatly appreciated if you may avoid dropping messages like this in the talkpages of anyone disagreeing with your views, while at the same time making sinister remarks on your opponents. This underhand tactic is nothing short of unethical.--Huaiwei 07:16, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder Calton. I was in fact making a response at his talk page, and is now hit by the edit conflict warning. :-D — Instantnood 07:34, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

I apologise, Calton.--Huaiwei 07:37, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
