Darwen railway station

Darwen railway station serves Darwen, a town in Lancashire, England. It was opened in 1847 by the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe & West Yorkshire Railway, which was subsequently taken over by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway twelve years later. It is now served by Northern Trains services on the Ribble Valley Line from Rochdale/Manchester Victoria to Blackburn and into Clitheroe.

Darwen is set amongst the hills of East Lancashire. Arriving from or departing towards Bolton involves journeying through the long Sough Tunnel, some 2015 yd in length.

History
The railway line between Blackburn (Bolton Road) and Bolton was built by the Blackburn, Darwen and Bolton Railway, but it had amalgamated with the Blackburn, Clitheroe and North Western Junction Railway to form the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe and West Yorkshire Railway by the time that the first section, from Blackburn to Sough, including the station at Over Darwen, 4+1/4 mi from Blackburn, was opened on 3 August 1847. The station was renamed Darwen on 1 December 1883.

The neighbouring stations either side which also served the area, at Lower Darwen and Spring Vale, were both closed in 1958 and the nearest surviving station to the south is now Entwistle.

Facilities
The station has two platforms. It is one of only two passing points on the otherwise single track Blackburn to Bolton part of the route, but trains normally cross here only in the morning and evening peak periods. The loop was extended in length by a mile (1.6 km) either side of the station during a six-week-long engineering blockade in July & August 2015 to increase capacity on the line and eventually allow a half-hourly service to operate (as specified in the new Northern franchise agreement, due to come into effect in April 2016).

The station is currently unstaffed, with waiting shelters on each platform; step-free access is available to both. Ticket machines are available, along with a long-line P.A system and passenger information screens to convey train running information.

Services
Since the December 2017 timetable change, the weekdays and Saturday service to Blackburn northbound and to Bolton and Manchester Victoria southbound is now half-hourly all day. Alternate northbound trains continue through to Clitheroe, whilst nearly all southbound trains continue beyond Manchester to Rochdale. On Sundays the service is usually hourly to both Clitheroe and Manchester.

Marshall Plan
A major topic that I first worked on back in 2004. I have recently expanded and referenced it and would like to get it up to featured article quality. It almost certainly still needs some copyediting, and there may also be errors or omissions that need to be corrected. - SimonP 17:35, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks good to me. I only saw one word that needed a copyedit. The page is pretty thorough and appears to cover the topic in a neutral and balanced manner. About the only thing I see missing is a coverage of the phrase "we need a Marshall plan for..." as a motivation for spending a bunch of money on some big U.S. foreign aid package. (A search on "a Marshall plan for" in google turns up 15,500 hits. :) — RJH 15:02, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Wow, that looks great. I don't know enough about the subject to know if there is anything innacurate or missing except for the above, but it appears well researched. Great work. Unless you know of things you should fix, but haven't, this looks like a clear FAC to me. Might as well do it right away if you have the time to answer the FAC comments or objections if there are any. - Taxman Talk 23:19, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks good. May need some ilinks (I just went over lead), and a few more links to people/events in specific countries (I will take care of Poland), but nonetheless it is something I believe would pass FAC. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 12:00, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Category of Drag Kings
I would like to question the inclusion of Male Impersonators of the period 1900 tp 1950 in this category.

I believe that the term "Drag King" is only used where there is a homosexual element involved. Entertainers like Hetty King and Vesta Tilly used drag as a "trade mark" and there was little sexual input in their performances. Similarly, Pantomime "Dames" are often in drag but solely for the comic advantage. Principle Boys were originally, in Victorian times, were played by women to show off the female legs, hardly a homosexual trick.

I would suggest the removal of the above mentioned artists from this category.

Your allegations about fictional books of reference
I saw that you had written on Talk:Nix:
 * There are almost no references in the text at all, the external links are third-hand sources as well, and the one book listed with its ISBN is fiction.

I can assure you that the book listed with its ISBN is not fiction, but a very real book that I have in my book shelf. When you look for a book by using the ISBN, be aware of the fact that all ISBN databases don't have all the books. If you had tried the Swedish Royal Library's database, you would have found this and you won't have needed to accuse other editors of making up fictional books.--Berig 11:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Udo von Woyrsch

Udo Gustav Wilhelm Egon von Woyrsch (24 July 1895 – 14 January 1983) was a Nazi Party politician and SS-Obergruppenführer in Nazi Germany who participated in the massacre of Jews in Poland, and was later convicted of being an accessory to manslaughter in connection with the Night of the Long Knives murders.

Early life
Woyrsch was a member of an aristocratic Silesian family. His father was a Rittmeister and estate owner and his uncle was Remus von Woyrsch, a Prussian Field Marshal in the First World War. Born in 1895, he was tutored at home until 1905 then went to secondary school in Brieg (today, Brzeg in Poland) followed by cadet school in Wahlstatt (today, Legnickie Pole) and the military academy at Lichterfelde, Berlin. Commissioned as a Leutnant in the Prussian Army in August 1914, he served on the eastern front during the First World War and earned the Iron Cross first and second class. He was captured by the Russians but after the end of the war was repatriated in December 1918. He remained in the Reichswehr, was promoted to Oberleutnant in May 1920 but was decommissioned in the following October. He then took up studies in economics and agriculture. In May 1923, upon his father's death, he inherited the family estate at Schwanowitz (today, Zwanowice, Brzeg County) that he then managed. According to the historian Richard Grunberger, Woyrsch also was a member of the Freikorps during the early 1920s.

Nazi career
On 1 October 1929, Woyrsch joined the Nazi Party (membership number 162,349) and represented it on the Brieg District Assembly and District Committee. As an early Party member, he would later be awarded the Golden Party Badge. On 10 June 1930, he also joined the SS (member number 3,689). The Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler charged Woyrsch with organizing the SS in Gau Silesia. Woyrsch was given command of several SS-Standarten there from March to September 1931. He then was selected as the first commander of SS-Abschnitt (SS–District) VI headquartered in Brieg until 15 March 1932. He next became the commander of SS-Gruppe (later, SS-Oberabschnitt) (SS–Main District) "Südost" where he served until 1 January 1935.

While in this posting, Woyrsch led his forces in the Night of the Long Knives. On 30 June 1934, "he took command in Silesia, and on the orders of Göring arrested a number of SA leaders, disarmed all SA headquarters' guards and occupied the Breslau police headquarters. Woyrsch's men executed some of the SA officers as a result of an on-going private feud." The settlement of personal scores was particularly savage in Silesia, where numerous personal vendettas resulted in murder and "vengeance was the order of the day." This included Woyrsch's ordering the execution of his SS rival Emil Sembach, despite a prior agreement with Himmler that he was to be arrested and taken to Berlin.

Described as highly opinionated and headstrong, Woyrsch often was embroiled in disputes with the Party Gauleiter and other civilian authorities. Woyrsch had a close friendship with Himmler who often defended him in these instances. However, one such dispute with Silesian Gauleiter Helmuth Brückner and other officials resulted in Woyrsch being removed from his command in Dresden and assigned to Himmler's Personal Staff in January 1935. In January 1939, he was detailed for six weeks to the SD, the Nazi Party intelligence service.

Aside from his SS activities, Woyrsch continued his political career in these years, being elected to the Landtag of Prussia in April 1932 and serving there until March 1933 when he was elected as a deputy to the Reichstag from electoral constituency 7 (Breslau). On 10 July 1933, he was also named to the Prussian State Council. He would retain these seats throughout the Nazi regime.

Einsatzgruppe and war years
On the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, Woyrsch commanded Einsatzgruppe VII. Woyrsch was responsible for some of the deadliest massacres of Jews in Poland in 1939, where in East Upper Silesia he led the group that murdered 500 Jews in Kattowitz, Będzin, and Sosnowiec. At this early stage of the war Poland was still considered a military operational area under the command of Generaloberst Gerd von Rundstedt. The brutality and illegal measures of the Einsatzgruppe, involving the mass shootings of Jews, shocked many of the Wehrmacht officers. On 20 September 1939, they complained that it was having an effect on the morale of German troops who resented that the SS were not fighting the enemy on the front but instead "demonstrating their courage against defenceless civilians." Rundstedt told Himmler that the anti-Jewish measures already underway must cease and that the Einsatzgruppe would no longer be tolerated in the operational zone.

Himmler gave way and was forced to recall Woyrsch to Germany where, on 20 April 1940, he was appointed the Higher SS and Police Leader (HSSPF) "Elbe" and commander of SS-Oberabschnitt "Elbe," both headquartered in Dresden. On 15 April 1941, he was given the additional title of General of Police. By 1942 he was the seventh most senior officer in the SS. However, his personality conflicts continued with denunciations and disputes with other authorities. Finally, Himmler lost patience with him and Woyrsch was removed from his command on 13 February 1944 and again assigned to Himmler's immediate staff where he remained for the remainder of the war. Ostensibly, his removal was for health reasons but the real issue was conflicts and disputes with Gauleiter Martin Mutschmann whom he accused of cowardice. According to Richard Grunberger, Woyrsch was part of Himmler's entourage trailing about northern Germany in May 1945 close to the end of hostilities. Woyrsch last saw Himmler on 5 May 1945 in Flensburg before moving on to Eckernförde where he surrendered to British forces on 11 May 1945.

Trials and convictions
Woyrsch was interned until 1948. In 1948, a denazification court sentenced him to 10 years in prison for his membership in the SS, citing his knowledge of the organization's atrocities. However, Woyrsch was released early in 1952. In 1957, he was sentenced by a court in Osnabrück to a further 10 years in prison after being convicted as an accessory to six counts of manslaughter for his role in the murders during the Night of the Long Knives, including that of Emil Sembach. Woyrsch was released once more in 1960, and died in 1983.

Talk:List of Walt Disney Pictures films

Note to the editor
Dear sir, I would like to inform you that the new Disneynature film, Tiger, has not been added to this list. Signed, an anonymous user (I'm anonymous because I like it that way) :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.202.3.37 (talk) 00:27, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Internatonal films
Add films like Roadside Romeo, The Book of Masters, The Last Warrior, and the latter's sequels.

Typo in "Number of films per decade"
I noticed that there is a typo in the "Number of films per decade" list. For the year 2012, it says that there are 7 films when there are actually 8 films released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2012.

Could you fix this typo?

Semi-protected edit request on 23 August 21: "In development" section
I think there should be an "In development" section for this article because on List of Walt Disney Studios films (2020-2029), there are Walt Disney Pictures movies in the In development section (including a Robin Hood and a Bambi remake). Could you add that section to this article?

Should the Studio Ghibli films be included under Disney filmography?
This is misleading, even with the “only distributed part”. This is supposed to be Disney filmography, not Disney distributiography. 2600:8802:3A0E:4300:C8BF:52B9:2ED2:528A (talk) 21:25, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The lead sentence of the article states what the list is for: "films produced by and released under the Walt Disney Pictures banner". This definition includes distributed films, such as the original American releases of several Ghibli films. "Distributiography" is not a word. ~ Jedi94  ( Want to tell me something? ) 06:14, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Lawrence Alloway

Lawrence Reginald Alloway (17 September 1926 – 2 January 1990) was an English art critic and curator who worked in the United States from 1961. In the 1950s, he was a leading member of the Independent Group in the UK and in the 1960s was an influential writer and curator in the US. He first used the term "mass popular art" in the mid-1950s and used the term "Pop Art" in the 1960s to indicate that art has a basis in the popular culture of its day and takes from it a faith in the power of images. From 1954 until his death in 1990, he was married to the painter Sylvia Sleigh.

Early life and education
Between 1943 and 1947, Alloway studied art history at the University of London, where he met the future critic and curator David Sylvester. Alloway wrote short book reviews for the London Times in 1944 and 1945, at which time he was between 17 and 19 years old.

Early career and the Independent Group
Alloway started writing reviews for the British periodical Art News and Review (later renamed ArtReview) in 1949 and for the American periodical Art News in 1953. In Nine Abstract Artists (1954) he promoted the Constructivist artists that emerged in Britain after the Second World War: Robert Adams, Terry Frost, Adrian Heath, Anthony Hill, Roger Hilton, Kenneth Martin, Mary Martin, Victor Pasmore, and William Scott.

Alloway's theory of art reflecting the concrete materials of modern life gave way to an interest in mass-media and consumerism. Alloway joined the Independent Group in 1952 and lectured on his theory of a circular link between popular cultural "low art" and "high art". From 1955 to 1960 he was assistant director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. He organised the exhibition Collages and Objects (1954). In 1956 Alloway contributed to organising the exhibition This Is Tomorrow. When reviewing that show and other works he had seen on a trip to the US in a 1958 article, he first used the term "mass popular art".

Career in the US
In 1961, through his contacts with the American painter Barnett Newman, Alloway was offered a lecturer position at Bennington College in Vermont. He and his wife, the realist painter Sylvia Sleigh, lived in Bennington for only one year before Alloway was appointed curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, a position he held until 1966. In 1963 he organised the pop art show, Six Painters and the Object. He chaired the jury of the 1964 Guggenheim Awards, one of which was refused by the painter Asger Jorn.

In 1966, Alloway curated the influential Systemic Painting exhibition that showcased geometric abstraction in American art via Minimal art, Shaped canvas, and Hard-edge painting. He coined the term Systemic Art to "describe a type of abstract art characterized by the use of very simple standardized forms, usually geometric in character, either in a single concentrated image or repeated in a system arranged according to a clearly visible principle of organization". Alloway was also an ardent supporter of Abstract expressionism and American Pop artists, such as Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, and Andy Warhol. He resigned from the Guggenheim after Thomas M. Messer, the museum's director, overruled Alloway's selections—consisting mostly of sculptures—for the upcoming Venice Biennale.

In 1966–67, Alloway was appointed visiting professor at the School of Fine Arts at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where John McHale and Buckminster Fuller were also on staff.

In the 1970s, Alloway wrote for The Nation and Artforum, and lectured at the State University of New York, Stony Brook where he was appointed professor of art history. There he co-founded the magazine Art Criticism with the critic Donald Kuspit. With the rise of the feminist art movement, Alloway championed the work of women; he noted, for example, "a 3-to-1 advantage" of men over women in the Whitney Annual in 1977.

Origins of the term Pop Art
Concerning the origins of the term Pop Art, Alloway said, "The term, originated in England by me, as a description of mass communications, especially, but not exclusively, visual ones." In a footnote to his essay Pop Art the words, he also states, "The first published appearance of the terms that I know is: Lawrence Alloway, 'The Arts and the Mass Media,' Architectural Design, February 1958, London. Ideas on Pop Art were discussed by Reyner Banham, Theo Crosby, Frank Cordell, Toni del Renzio, Richard Hamilton, Nigel Henderson, John McHale, Eduardo Paolozzi, Alison and Peter Smithson, sculptor William Turnbull, and myself."

However, there are contradictory recollections as to the origin of the term: according to John McHale's son his father first coined the term in 1954 in conversation with Frank Cordell, and the term was then used in Independent Group discussions by mid 1955. Alloway used the term 'mass popular art' in his oft quoted 1958 article but he did not use the specific term "Pop Art" in the piece.

Death
Alloway suffered from a neurological disorder and died of cardiac arrest on 2 January 1990, aged 63.

Stan Polley

Stanley Herbert Polley (April 7, 1922 – July 20, 2009) was an American entertainment manager and fraudster active in the 1960s and 1970s. His clients included rock band Badfinger, musician Al Kooper, and singer Lou Christie. Throughout his career, Polley defrauded a number of clients and associates, most notably Badfinger.

Biography
Polley was born on April 7, 1922 in New York City. After serving as a corporal in the U.S. Army during World War II, he practiced law and worked in retail shops before beginning his managerial career in New York's garment industry. He began artist management after he met Lou Christie in the mid-1960s. It was through his association with Christie that he met and began working with other artists in the New York and Los Angeles entertainment fields.

In 1968, Polley formed a company called Five Arts Management, for his work with singer Lou Christie, musician Al Kooper, arranger Charles Calello, TV director Michael Cooper, composer Sandy Linzer and WABC disc jockey Bob Lewis. He formed further companies for legal and accounting purposes to manage artists including composers Irwin Levine and Larry Brown. In 1970, Polley registered Badfinger Enterprises, Inc. as a corporate entity for management of the British rock group Badfinger, which had no American representation at the time.

In 1971, Polley was named during US Senate investigation hearings as an intermediary between unnamed crime figures and a New York Supreme Court judge. Most of Polley's American clients said they were already suspicious of their manager by this point, but the publicity of the hearings convinced several to sever ties with him.

The following year, in 1972, Polley negotiated a record contract with Warner Bros. Records for Badfinger, which called for advances to be paid into an escrow account. In 1974, Warner's publishing division filed a lawsuit against Polley when it was unsuccessful in locating the funds. The legal morass crippled Badfinger financially; band leader Pete Ham committed suicide on April 24, 1975, leaving behind a note directly blaming Polley for his financial ruin. Bandmate Tom Evans committed suicide on November 19, 1983.

In 1991, Polley pleaded no contest to charges of misappropriating funds and money laundering in Riverside County, California. Aeronautics engineer Peter Brock accused Polley of swindling him out of $250,000 after the two set up a corporation to manufacture airplane engines. Polley was placed on probation for five years and ordered by the court to return all missing funds to Brock, although the complainant said the restitution never materialized.

Polley died in Rancho Mirage, California, on July 20, 2009. He is interred in the Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California.

Clients
Polley's clients included singer-producer Hank Medress, the rock band Badfinger, musician Al Kooper, singer Lou Christie, Michael Cooper, Charles Calello, Sandy Linzer, Marty Ross and Bob Lewis. Multiple financial dealings by Polley were found to be irregular and to the detriment of his clients, scamming them and causing the acts to fall apart.

Global Exchange

Global Exchange was founded in 1988 and is an advocacy group, human rights organization, and a 501(c)(3) organization, based in San Francisco, California, United States. The group defines its mission as, "to promote human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice around the world." Global Exchange deals with a wide range of issues, ranging from the U.S. war in Iraq to worker abuse and fair trade issues.

Since its inception, Global Exchange has enlisted thousands of members and supporters, by educating the U.S. public about what it thinks are the root causes of injustice and the impacts of U.S. government policies and corporate practices. The group builds people-to-people ties, engages grassroots education for action, and links social and environmental movements through public education, speaking tours, experiential travel called Reality Tours and activism.

History
In 1988, Medea Benjamin, Kevin Danaher, Kirsten Moller, and Kathie Klarreich founded Global Exchange. The formation of the organization was rooted in the increasing interdependence of national economies and the subsequent need to build political alliances across national boundaries to promote the group's ideas about economic, social and political rights.

Along with Rainforest Action Network and the Ruckus Society, Global Exchange played a central role in organizing the 1999 Seattle WTO protests against the World Trade Organization (WTO) summit in Seattle in 1999.

For many years Global Exchange produced a Green Festival Expo in Seattle, Washington.

Global Exchange was part of a coalition of groups that charged US retailers, including Gap, with illegally underpaying workers in their sweatshops in Saipan.

In 2011, Global Exchange released a book called, The Rights of Nature: The Case for a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth (2011), with articles by Maude Barlow, Pablo Solón Romero, Vandana Shiva, Nnimmo Bassey and others.

Programs
Global Exchange defined its goals to include increasing public awareness of injustice. They promote change within a profit-oriented global economy, to what it calls ‘people-oriented local economies’ which, supposedly, respect the rights of workers and nature. The Community Rights Program assists communities confronted by corporate projects to assert their right to make decisions, which the group says should be to that place ‘the rights of residents above the legal rights of corporations’.

The Economic Activism for Palestine Project focuses on corporate accountability for human rights and international law violations in Palestine. The program, with an anti-Zionist focus, targets corporations that are directly involved in Israeli settlement activity in the occupied West Bank. They offer a "Economic Activism for Palestine" residency program, participates have included Dalit Baum.

The Fair Trade Program promotes fair trade to end child and forced labor in the cocoa industry, as well as educate consumers to purchase fair trade chocolate. Its corporate campaigns targeted among others Starbucks and M&M's. In 2012 Global Exchange joined with Green America and the International Labor Rights Forum to pressure The Hershey Company to go fair trade and end child labor in the Theobroma cacao fields. The campaign is called Raise the Bar, Hershey.

The Mexico Program confronts the rising violence and unrest. The program is described as developing dialogue and effective advocacy toward bilateral military policies, gun trafficking, drug policy, and democratic reform.

The Elect Democracy campaign challenges corporate money in US politics. The campaign's strategy is to expose the impact of the FIRE economy campaign contributions and to provide factual examples of its belief that a political campaign dependency upon corporate campaign contributions and subsequent corporate lobbying can lead to the prioritization of corporate interests over the needs of the We are the 99%. The ultimate goal of the campaign is to increase accountability through campaign finance reform.

The Green Economy Leadership Training (GELT) Program ran from 2010 to 2012 to implement green economy solutions (home weatherization, establishing urban gardens, etc.) while training individuals in how to build, work and live in a new green economy/clean energy framework. GELT was based in Highland Park, a low-income community in Detroit. Dozens of full-time volunteers worked side-by-side with Highland Park community members to put energy efficiency and LEED for Neighborhood Development guidelines into practice, demonstrating what the transition to and opportunities in a clean energy economy looks like.

Global Exchange offers Reality Tours to various countries of the world with the stated aim of educating the visitor regarding the realities of living in different cultures through using local, independent guides and supporting the local economy. Global Exchange Reality Tours organizes trips to over 30 countries in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Reality Tours offers experiential educational tours, connecting people to issues, issues to movements, and movements to social change social change.

As part of their campaign to reduce oil consumption, on November 29, 2006, two protesters from Global Exchange and Rainforest Action Network, Mike Hudema and Matt Leonard, at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show illegally disrupted a press stage where General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner was speaking and tried to get him to sign a pledge making GM the most fuel-efficient car company by 2010. Wagoner refused to sign, saying that he promised just that in his keynote speech.

Criticism
The World Trade Organization has claimed that a number of websites such as the Global Exchange, etc., "contain accusations against the WTO which are based on incorrect information or downright falsehoods."

The conservative think tank Capital Research Center has labeled Global Exchange as a "far-left activist group", citing its continuing promotion of tours to Communist-ruled Cuba, and thinks they were responsible for "violent demonstrations" at the World Trade Organization meetings in Seattle in 1999. It also says that Global Exchange appears to be spearheading former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's public relations efforts in the United States by offering reality tours for American tourists in Venezuela.

Entwistle railway station

Entwistle railway station (first opened in 1848) is 5+3/4 mi north of Bolton and serves the village of Entwistle. It is also the closest station to Edgworth. Unlike nearby Bromley Cross the station lies outside the Transport for Greater Manchester boundary, meaning that passengers cannot take advantage of their special offers and ticketing. Owing to the remote location and low passenger numbers, Entwistle has been a request stop for several years, however since 21st May 2023, it is no longer a request stop, and all trains stop here. It is served by Northern services on the Ribble Valley line towards Blackburn and Clitheroe in England.

History
The original station opened in August 1848, being relocated from Whittlestone Head station to the north. A more substantial stone building was built in 1859, as part of a larger contract, with similar stations being erected along the branch at The Oaks, Bromley Cross and Turton, by Manchester firm Joseph Greenup and Co. Demolition took place around the mid-1970s, several years after the station closed. The station exhibited a large outside wall platform clock. The 1859 contract was for both a station building and staff 'cottage' as erected at other stations along the branch. The station building was actually more extended than the buildings seen at the other stations, with private dwelling accommodation included for the station master. The 1871 Census of Population revealed that resident at Entwistle Station was SM William Davies, 24, his wife Ann, 23 and infant daughter Mary, 1, plus two family visitors, one being the railway telegraph clerk at Clitheroe. By the early 1900s, new accommodation was built for railway workers with the new railway terrace of cottages located on Overshores road, the lane beyond The Strawbury Duck Inn. The 1891 OS map survey revealed that only two immediately nearby cottages existed - The Strawbury Duck Inn (then called Bridge House) and also a divided cottage alongside, Bridge Cottages.

Entwistle served the Black Hill brickworks and Know Mill, sited where the smaller section of Wayoh reservoir occupies. Until recently the remains of an overhead cable railway, connecting the factory to the railway goods yard, were visible in an adjoining woods. The foundation bases for the supports are still visible in at least two locations. The mills were demolished when the level of the Wayoh Reservoir was raised and the station was reduced in size following the Beeching report of 1963 and the singling of the Bromley Cross to Blackburn section of the line a decade later. Entwistle goods yard closed in November 1959.

Signal box
Typically for this branch line, a Yardley/Smith type 1 brick signal box opened here in 1876, situated on the Down side north of the station, containing an 18 lever Smith frame. This box was replaced in Jan 1904 by a new 60 lever, gantry-mounted size 12 L&YR box, in connection with the quadrupling of the line through to Waltons Siding 1453 yds to the north. Numerous highly detailed large scale original drawings survive for these track and related works from the early 1900s Included with the plans is a letter sent by the railway company secretary to The Board of Trade in April 1904 which discloses that 'the old station has been reconstructed. It now consists of an island platform 596 feet long.' It is also revealed that the station is on a gradient of 1 in 77. The authorisation for it was the L&YR Act of 1897. The signal box spanned the fast running lines and it is reported that it was a very draughty place of work, with its floorboards lifting like piano keys when a loco steaming hard passed underneath it. The box closed in 1968 when the through fast lines were taken out of use.

Media appearances
The station has been used as a location for filming on more than one occasion:

In the 1986 film adaptation of Jeffrey Archer's novel First Among Equals, the sequences at the fictional Redfern Station were filmed there.

In Episode 2 of Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere, the station featured as "Middlewood station" (not to be confused with a real life station of the same name on the Buxton Line) due to its supposedly rural backwater location.

Services
Generally there is an hourly service daily northbound to Clitheroe and southbound to Manchester Victoria and Rochdale. Sunday trains terminate at Manchester Victoria.

Proposed deletion of Nauseant

Interior pictures
Does anyone know where interior pictures of the stadium could be obtained? (Ones that aren't protected by copyright, etc. that is.) Right now the article has no photos of the inside of the stadium; there should be at least one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.186.107 (talk) 17:51, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Katrina news coverage errors
Elde 17:43, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Though the current staff my believe that no engineering study was ever performed - the studies were made and widely covered at the time of the domes construction.
 * The roof has not been damaged to the extent the news media would have you believe - what was peeled away is a protective membrane, analogous to the shingles on a suburban home. The holes, of which much has been made, are where ventilators have been ripped away, not failures of the roof structure.

Page history
What happened to the rest of the Talk history? Did someone archive incorrectly? Johntex 19:22, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * No. It would be in the History. -- RattleMan 06:31, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * But it isn't. If you click on the History tab here, the earliest history is 30 August 2005.  There was discussion here from before that.  Johntex 16:22, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Rape
Please do not remove mention of the reported and confirmed rapes at the Rapedome. Thank you.
 * Unless you can provide evidence the information about rapes at the Superdome is BS.Gateman1997 18:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Rapedome is way too much of a word of mouth thing. I don't see any media using that name, and thus cannot be confirmed. That is pretty damn weird. If people just decided to concoct these incidents of rape for whatever twisted reason, I pity the way society has turned out. Still, I doubt that all of these different reports would totally be lies. I think the police chief is trying to cover his ass for the breakdowns in law enforcement during the crisis.
 * The BBC at least have reported several reported cases of rape, though nowhere have I seen the monicker 'rapedome' --82.46.55.123 18:47, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * True there have been a few rapes reported, but no confirmed cases at the Superdome.Gateman1997 18:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * added the fact there have been unconfirmed reports of rape from numerous sources - anon.
 * It now appears that there have been no confirmed rapes in the Superdome

137.110.192.46 09:00, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I think the issue of the reports of rapes and crimes needs to be dealt with in much more detail here. From what I've read, it seems that although the conditions in the Superdome were extremely unpleasant (in terms of sanitation, comfort, information, temperature) and people were understandably frightened, the evidence shows that there were no marauding gangs, no rape and drug-selling zones in the upper galleries (or anywhere else). The issue is about both rape and other non-sexual forms of violent crime. I think that to say "there is no confirmed evidence" or that "there is no evidence of" doesn't go far enough. Most of the evidence for the existence of these crimes was based on hearsay, both from within the Dome and from outsiders. When additional National Guard (?) arrived after a few days and expected to find chaos, they instead found filthy toilets and tired people but no chaos.

 * As one of the discussion posts below mentions, it seems that reports of widespread violence were based on people's understandable fears but NOT on actual incidents. This should be addressed, either in this aricle or in one linked to it, because 1) many people still believe there is good evidence for mass rapes, 2) for many people these stories of mass rape segue into anxieties about sex and violence of African Americans and 3) the story illustrates the rapidity with which urban legends can start. Interlingua 14:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with your observation. Since you've read about this subject I invite you to either make the improvements yourself or share your sources with your fellow editors so that we can find the right evidence to cite. --Dystopos 14:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It would seem that the Superdome, full of scared people under rapidly deteriorating conditions and lacking any authoritative communications, would be fertile ground for urban legends and mass hysteria to fester. That isn't to say that crimes or rapes were not committed, but the stories aren't necessarily "twisted concoctions" or particularly surprising either way. Dystopos 04:32, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Torn down?
All I can find to lend any shred of credence to this is one sentence on a KSAT (San Antionio ABC station) report. . The latest report (2:03 PM, Sept. 6) from Saints owner Tom Benson makes no reference to the condition of the dome following this season. . Can someone find a source for this? I find it unlikely that a full engineering assessment has been performed. Dystopos 23:35, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I just found it on CNN's front page. A state official has been quoted as saying it will likely be torn down.Gateman1997 23:38, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The first report that it was probably going to be torn down was by Ted Koppel on ABC Monday night. CNN began reporting it Tuesday afternoon. Autiger 05:56, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Supplies in Superdome for Katrina, 7 trucks mre 3 trucks water
apparently there were 7 truckloads of MREs there. the national guard had supplies there to provide food and water for 15,000 people for 3 days on the august 28th. as for wether to believe quotes attributed to the deputy director of the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Emergency Preparedness as reported by the times picayune, or the "drudge report"... http://nola.live.advance.net/newslogs/breakingtp/index.ssf?/mtlogs/nola_Times-Picayune/archives/2005_08.html

Temporarily closed...
Shoudln't the Superdome be listed as "Temporarily Closed", considering that all the tennants are currently finding new homes BECAUSE the Superdome is unuseable? Dknights411 16:04, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Not until that temp home has been identified. As of right now the SD is still listed as their home field which means it is technically still open.Gateman1997 16:21, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Not according to the New Orleans Saints article. I was just trying to keep some consistancy. Dknights411 17:27, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * That article has jumped the gun I believe.Gateman1997 17:31, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Exterior sources should be considered in this decision - not other 'pedia articles. Consistency is less important than accuracy.Elde 00:52, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You are of course correct. However the situation has changed since this discussion began. The new home for two of the three present tennants has been identified.Gateman1997 00:58, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I put this in the category Defunct American football venues. I felt it was appropriate because they're not playing football there until at least next year.

Be demolished?
What is the source for "The Superdome, which will soon be demolished"? Surely for something like that there are some announcements and press releases. (SEWilco 14:01, 27 September 2005 (UTC))
 * Checking the Superdome official site: "Doug Thornton, SMG Regional Vice President, says contrary to press reports that it is premature to say if the dome will be torn down, or if it can be rebuilt or restored. A decision on whether the dome can be saved is weeks away, after a team of experts can make an assessment. Even that step will be delayed until the inside can be cleaned. The majority of Superdome damage is from roof problems and water infiltration." (SEWilco 14:06, 27 September 2005 (UTC))
 * This section needs a general overhaul, since restoration is underway. Check http://www.superdome.com/uploads/LASuperdomeN.O.ArenaRestorationUpdate.pdf and the other PDFs on the official site for better info. --Jkonrath 22:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

MLB in the Superdome?
During the planning/building of the Superdome, was there ever any serious talk of trying to get a Major League Baseball team in New Orleans? Darwin's Bulldog 09:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Five years later?
The article says the Louisiana Governor said "I want one of these only bigger" (referring to the Houston Astrodome) in 1967 and that he got his wish five years later. But then, two paragraphs down from that, it says construction on the Superdome began in 1971 and was completed in 1975. As I read it, he got his wish eight years later, not five. --Smithfarm 09:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Succession boxes?
IMHO, the new succession boxes for the various occupants look awful, clutter the article and are an inappropriation representation of this particular information. Succession boxes make more sense for frequently changing, long-lined occurances; as a general rule, a change in home stadia is a pretty rare event. In this case, the change was only temporary, driven by an external event. Thoughts, comments? AU Tiger ʃ talk /work 15:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Article says Tulane stadium condemned 1975?
The New Orleans Saints opened the 1975 NFL season at the Superdome. Tulane Stadium, which had served as the Saint's first home and the city's primary stadium, was condemned on the day the Superdome opened.

The John Curtis Patriots played the last game ever played in Tulane Stadium in 1978 when the Patriots beat Jonesboro-Hodge 40-0 in the State Championship final.

Sixofone 07:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Baseball in the Superdome
I think the article should mention how there are sometimes LSU-Tulane baseball games played in the Superdome or any other baseball games played there. 24.252.65.147 22:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree, NCAA baseball should also be included. And, in 1992, the Superdome hosted the SEC Baseball Conference Tournament. See here on page 111 under "Conference Tournament History - 1992 SEC Tournament." --BZA99 (talk) 20:29, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Super Bowl IX?
I saw on this page (and heard on a highlight film from the same game) that had the Superdome been completed in time for that game, it would have been held there instead of Tulane Stadium. Correct? WAVY 10 21:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Accuracy dispute of BCS National Championship Game venues
I am disputing over the venue dates after 2010 over these 4 stadiums as the BCS contract appears to be up in 2010 but the templates go to 2018. The discussion can be seen at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football  Sawblade05  (talk to me undefined my wiki life) 22:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC) That wasn't an issue on this page. AU Tiger » talk 00:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

A boxing venue
I added Category:Boxing venue to the article, because there are 2 fights in Category:Boxing fights which were held there; Carnival of Champions, and one known as the 'No Mas' fight - I dont recall the name of the article. You may want to add details of these fights to the section that deals with notable events held at the Superdome. Cheers. Willy turner (talk) 21:10, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

The 'No Mas' fight was Leonard-Duran II Willy turner (talk) 21:28, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Katrina event
Should I add to major events Huricane Katrina? Wendy's the Restraunt (talk) 21:46, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

NCAA Basketball policy
As far as I know, the Superdome's basketball configuration has always placed the half-court line of the basketball court at the 50 yard line of the football field, as opposed to other facilities where the basketball court was in an end zone. One of the Superdome's sideline lower decks can be rolled out into the center of the stadium to bring it closer to a basketball court placed along the other sideline. How exactly would thin interact with the NCAA policy noted in the article? Ilikefish0 (talk) 23:17, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Acoustics
I didn't see anything in this article about the acoustics of the Superdome. There's a decent article here that goes into why the Superdome is one of the noisiest venues (120 decibels) and how that translates to a home field advantage. Gobonobo T C 23:23, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Momentum Turf added in 2004
I think the change from Astroturf to Momentum Turf came in 2004, not 2006, based on newspaper article previews like this one from 2004. It talks about the new Momentum Turf surface being the third different surface for the Superdome "in as many years."

It seems likely that a new surface did need to be installed in 2006 as well after the hurricane damage, but that installation may not have changed the type of turf used.

Mercedes-Benz Superdome → Louisiana Superdome – I noticed that this article was recently moved to a new name. However, I should point out that the Mercedes-Benz naming rights have only been announced. It is still officially the Louisiana Superdome. The official renaming will NOT take place until October 23: "The name change take effect Oct. 23 when the Saints face the Indianapolis Colts on NBC's Sunday Night Football". Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:30, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Premature indeed. It is not yet called that, neither officially nor commonly. Moved back to the actual name. Infrogmation (talk) 04:17, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment seems to have been done. 65.94.77.207 (talk) 04:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Support in any case, since I don't see a reason why we should advertise Mercedes Benz. 65.94.77.207 (talk) 04:16, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Mardi Grass vs AstroTurf
The article referred to the original playing surface in the Superdome as "AstroTurf." It was not AstroTurf, which was developed by Monsanto and used in the Astrodome in Houston. Mardi Grass was also manufactured by Monsanto, but was a different product with a different design and composition.

Move
this needs to be move to Mercedes-Benz Superdome — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.175.134.44 (talk) 13:05, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The new name will not take effect until October 23, when the next New Orleans saints Game will be played. Zzyzx11 (talk) 15:01, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Now that the move-protection has expired, I will no longer oppose any premature page moves. More reliable sources seem to be using the new name now, especially when mentioning the permanent lightshow that will be unveiled in less than 24 hours. Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:30, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Name, July 2021 -- it is still the Louisiana Superdome
I note that there have already been some eager suggestions to move the article to "Caesars Superdome". Per  Louisiana legislature "Joint Legislative Committee on Budget  met to approve the facility's naming rights addressed in Louisiana Statue (La. R.S. 51:293.1B). The statute authorized the LSED "to sell or transfer the right to designate and use an alternative name to refer to the Louisiana Superdome. The committee agreed to the name as the 'Caesars Superdome.'"  So note that it continues to legally be the Louisiana Superdome; "Caesar's Superdome" is stated to be an "alternative name".  -- Infrogmation (talk) 21:52, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The "alternative name" thing is just legalese. The legislation approving the name "Mercedes-Benz Superdome" also called that name an "alternative name".  So, if this article called it the "Mercedes-Benz Superdome" then, it is just as appropriate to refer to it as the "Caesars Superdome" now. As I write this comment, crews are putting the "Caesars Superdome" signage on the building. Fish Man (talk) 16:25, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * "The Louisiana Superdome" remains the permanent legal name of the structure; others are corporate advertising names. If some editors think it very important to give free advertising on Wikipedia by repeatedly moving the article to whatever the Superdome's current commercial marketing affiliation is, I won't object; just noting the facts for the record.  I passed by the Superdome earlier today; the big "Mercedes-Benz" lettering and logo on the side of the building are down, but no "Ceasars" lettering is up yet; several smaller "Mercedes-Benz" signs on the parking garage part of the building are still up. -- Infrogmation (talk) 00:36, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't WP:COMMONNAME actually be in favor of Caesars Superdome? Like Fish Man stated, Louisiana Superdome has always been the legal name of the Superdome, but the common name for it since 2011 was always the Merecedes-Benz Superdome. Highly doubtful that's to change now that they've pretty much admitted "yeah, Louisiana Superdome was always the name, legally that is". All official sources and announcers will call it either "Caesars Superdome" or "the Superdome" going forward. I don't see how having a sponsor name would affect this rule. Arrowhead Stadium wasn't changed because that's the common (shortened) name for the stadium and rolls off the tongue and is more visually pleasing in reliable sources than the long sponsor title "GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium".--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 04:40, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, per common practice (especially in the UK, where aversions to stadium naming rights are a bit more pronounced; see the kerfuffle about St James' Park, though the fact this also involved a sister company of the team's owner to "showcase" the idea of naming rights was probably a factor too), if a venue has a non-sponsored name that is historical and predominant, it usually passes muster as a common name. I'd support a move to Louisiana Superdome, with the lead identifying it as "The Louisiana Superdome (branded as Caesars Superdome for naming rights reasons)". ViperSnake151   Talk  23:42, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Support move to Louisiana Superdome, for what it's worth. PK-WIKI (talk) 09:18, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Strongly oppose, what would that make the other sponsored stadiums? Some of them are silently legally its original name. We should avoid putting other stadiums in this branding name limbo and just call them what they officially are recognized as. The Superdome will have Caesars branding everywhere, the sources and announcers will address the Superdome with the name, too. It doesn't make any sense to go against this officially and widely recognized brand name.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 01:38, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It depends on whether the original name remains in frequent use. No one ever called it the O.co Coliseum unless they were contractually required to. To locals it has always been the Oakland Coliseum or just the Coliseum. See also Talk:Oakland_Coliseum. Wikipedia's goals are not to respect and recognize commercial sponsorship rights. Wikipedia's goal is to build an encyclopedia. ViperSnake151   Talk  15:08, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Well after 2 full seasons its safe to say by now that Caesars Superdome is not only the official name, but the common name. Discussion closed.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 05:49, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

'Mazing Man

'Mazing Man is the title character of a comic book series created by Bob Rozakis and Stephen DeStefano and published by DC Comics. The series ran for twelve issues in 1986, with additional special issues in 1987, 1988, and 1990. Additionally, a 'Mazing Man origin story was featured in Secret Origins #16, and an original one-page story that appeared as an ad in Comics Buyer's Guide.

Series overview
The 'Mazing Man series depicts the misadventures of Sigfried Horatio Hunch III, a benignly deranged little man in Queens, New York City, New York, who dresses in a homemade costume, and performs deeds like unclogging drains and watching out for local children. Viewed as a harmless kook by his neighbors, he saves a child from being hit by a truck in the first issue, earning him some respect and attention, including a steady stream of appreciation (and food) from the mother in subsequent issues.

"'Maze" tends to sing Simon and Garfunkel songs when struck on the head. His best friend is Denton Fixx, a writer for BC Comics who looks like a dog. Hunch is a millionaire, having won first place in a magazine subscription company's sweepstakes. After winning the prize, he felt obligated to subscribe to all of the company's magazines. As a result, he receives a staggering load of publications daily, including the pornographic magazines that he genuinely reads only for the articles. He does not necessarily keep his wealth a secret; he simply does not mention it, and does not live an opulent lifestyle. His friends are unaware of his financial success.

Reception
The original series, although highly acclaimed, was short-lived. Comics artist Frank Miller admired the series. Eager to help the property survive, Miller contributed a cover with the lead characters of the extremely popular miniseries Batman: The Dark Knight Returns for the last issue. The resulting exposure created enough interest for three subsequent one-shot issues.

A backup feature, "Zoot Sputnik, " drawn by Fred Hembeck and (ostensibly) written by Denton Fixx, appeared for several issues; it was supposed to be the book Fixx wrote for BC Comics. "Zoot Sputnik" was a parody of the Golden Age narrative style where stories had no between-issue continuity — Zoot and his team were space adventurers in one issue and cowboys in the next. The team's dog received a shock of energy, and gained the ability to remember their disparate adventures. This was Denton's attempt to introduce continuity to the book, but it was met with disapproval by his editor.

'Mazing Man is one of a handful of DC titles to publish an issue not featuring the Comics Code Authority stamp of approval while it was active. In the issue "Writer's Block, " Denton is stuck for a story, and all his friends give their ideas. One of them dealt with an army of zombies. Although there was no gore or violence, any mention of the living dead, specifically the use of the word "zombie, " was forbidden by the Comics Code. The issue was released without the seal, with no publicity, positive or negative.

Much later, in the Ambush Bug: Year None miniseries, 'Mazing Man (in the same nonsensical way of the series) is revealed to be on death row.

Other characters

 * Denton Fixx: 'Maze's best friend and writer for BC Comics. Although human, he resembles a dog.
 * Brenda Valentine: A rising star at a local advertising agency. She is married to Eddie Valentine.
 * Eddie Valentine: Assistant to the Assistant Manager, later promoted to Assistant Manager, at the South Richmond Bank. Eddie is married to Brenda. He plays baseball recreationally and is a Gold Glove winner at John Quincy High School.
 * K.P. Watson: Denton's half-sister.
 * Guido Garibaldi: A jock simpleton who lives in the same building as Denton, 'Maze, Eddie, and Brenda. He works in three shoe stores and spends most of his time wondering which one he's called in sick at, drinking beer and hopelessly pursuing women.
 * Sgt. Muldavey: A local police officer who is plagued by 'Maze's "heroics".
 * Mrs. Costinas: Landlady of Maze, Denton, and K.P., Costinas. She is most often seen sweeping the front steps of their building. She never smiles and usually grunts at all passersby.
 * Helenita Trialdo: A baby whose appearances revolve around her lack of hair.
 * Senora Tiraldo: Helenita's mother.
 * Walter Vanderplatz: Eddie's supervisor at the South Richmond Bank. He is more than a bit of a stuffed shirt.

In other media
'Mazing Man appears in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Four Star Spectacular!", voiced by Tom Kenny. This version idolizes Batman and derives his costume from his.

Self Destruction Blues

Self Destruction Blues is the third album by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks, released in 1982. Although often listed as a studio album, Self Destruction Blues is a compilation of singles and B-sides that the band recorded in 1981 and 1982. None of the tracks on Self Destruction Blues, however, appear on their previous albums. Guns N' Roses were rumoured to have recorded a cover version of "Beer and a Cigarette" for their 1993 release "The Spaghetti Incident?". Of note is the fact that although Gyp Casino plays on the LP, his replacement Razzle actually appears on the cover.

"Dead by X-Mas" has been covered by the Japanese hardcore band The Piass in 1994, and the British electro group Sohodolls in 2007.

Personnel

 * Hanoi Rocks
 * Michael Monroe – vocals, saxophone, drums on track 15
 * Andy McCoy – guitars
 * Nasty Suicide – guitars
 * Sam Yaffa – bass
 * Gyp Casino – drums on tracks 1, 3, 4 and 6–14
 * Additional musicians
 * Razzle – vocals on track 15
 * Keimo Hirvonen – drums on track 2 and 5

Comment
"Reproduced with kind permission" what is this, an advertorial? What about the basics: Where born? When? Educated where? If we can't get biographical fundamentals, then this stuff is just PR, and bad PR at that.

Family and personal life
Apart from the statement that her parents are/were Irish, nothing is stated about her family. There is nothing stated about her current life. Are her parents alive? Does she have siblings? Has she ever been married? Has she ever had any children? Where does she live? Who with? Is she in a relationship? Those are basic points that need to be included on a biographical article.

Liar, liar, pants on fire
I just listened to Jo Caulfield on 'My Teenage Diary' on BBC Radio 4. According to this page (until I corrected it), it is claimed that she was born 26 September 1966. According to Ancestry.co.uk, the only person born anywhere near that year was a Josephine S Caulfield, who was born Sep-Dec 1963 in the St Asaph registration district (now Denbighshire, north Wales), whose mother's maiden name was 'McAfee'. On the radio show, it claims that she moved to London in 1984 during the Miners' Strike, and she read extracts her diary this stating that she was 17 at the time (whereas she would have been 20/21). On 192.com, she is on the electoral register living in London N3 with her husband Kevin Anderson from 2002-2005, giving her middle initial as 'S', further corroborating (or at least not contradicting), that the Josephine S Caulfield in the birth index is her. Furthermore, on the bio section of her own website, she claims that she moved to London aged 17. Obviously, I have far too much time on my hands, but I'm curious to know why she would want to fabricate this. Maybe she thinks moving to London aged 20 isn't quite as thrilling and glamorous as aged 17. Maybe she just wants us to think she is 3 years younger than she is?
