Choi Yong-sool

Choi Yong-sool (November 9, 1904 – June 15, 1986), alternative spelling Choi Yong-sul, was the founder of the martial art Hapkido. He was born in today's North Chungcheong Province, South Korea and was taken to Japan during the Japanese occupation of Korea when he was eight years old. Choi later stated that he became a student of Takeda Sōkaku, and studied a form of jujutsu known as Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu (大東流合気柔術) while in Japan. Choi returned to Korea after the end of World War II and in 1948 began teaching his art at a brewery owned by the father of his first student Seo Bok-seob (Suh Bok-sub). He first called his art "Yu Sul " or "Yawara (柔術)" later changing it to "Yu Kwon Sool (柔拳術)" and "Hap Ki Yu Kwon Sool (合氣柔拳術)" and eventually Hapkido.

Choi Yong-sool was honored with the titles doju (道主), which can be translated as "Keeper of the way", and changsija (創始者), which simply means "founder". The arts of Hapkido, modern Hwa Rang Do, Kuk Sool Won, as well as lesser known arts such as Han Pul all show influence of the teachings of Master Choi.

Biography
It is generally accepted that Choi was born in the year 1904, although some sources place his birth in 1899. Confusion about his age stem from a combination of being orphaned, delays in registering newborns with the government (common in impoverished Korea) and the way in which age is reckoned in Korea. His mother died when he was 2 years old, and his father died sometime after that, leaving Choi in the care of his aunt. According to Choi he was abducted from his home village of Yong Dong in North Chungcheong Province in 1912 by a Japanese sweet merchant named Morimoto who had lost his own sons and wished to adopt Choi. Choi resisted and proved so troublesome to the candymaker that he was abandoned in the streets of Moji, Japan. Choi made his way to Osaka as a beggar and, after having been picked up by police, was placed in a Buddhist temple which cared for orphans in Kyoto. The abbot of the temple was a monk named Watanabe Kintaro.

Choi spent 2 years at the temple and had a difficult life there, not only in school but with the other children due to his poor Japanese language skills and his Korean ethnicity, which made him stand out in Japan. When Watanabe asked Choi what direction that he wished for his life to take he expressed interest in the martial arts. This matched the boy's temperament: Choi had a tendency to get into fights and he had an intense interest in the war scenes depicted in the temple's murals.

The temple monk (Watanabe Kintaro) was reputedly a friend of Takeda Sōkaku, the founder of the Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu system, which is a Japanese martial arts system emphasizing empty handed methods based upon the sword styles and jujutsu tactics in which Takeda was an expert. Later Takeda Sōkaku would also famously teach Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido.

During the Japanese occupation of Korea, all Koreans working in Japan were required to take on a Japanese name. Choi is said to have been assigned the Japanese name Asao Yoshida (吉田朝男) when he was 11 years old, according to a posthumously released interview, or Yoshida Tatujutsu, according to Seo Bok-seob. Choi says he was taken to Takeda's home and dojo in Akita on Shin Shu mountain where he lived and trained with the master for 30 years. The interview also asserts that: Choi traveled with Takeda as a teaching assistant, Choi led Takeda's demonstration team that presented in Hawaii (circa 1932), Choi was employed to catch war deserters, and that Choi was the only student to have a complete understanding of the system taught by Takeda. While Kondo Katsuyuki (current head of the mainline Daito Ryu) has released a page from Takeda Sokaku's eimeiroku that confirms that Choi Yong-sul did in fact study with him briefly, some scholars believe it is likely that Choi received most of his training in Daito Ryu from Yoshida Kotaro.

Other sources place Choi as a mere servant in the Takeda household, while still others assert that Choi had no connection to Takeda beyond attending some of Takeda's seminars. Kisshomaru Ueshiba, son of Morihei Ueshiba, stated that his father had told him that Choi had attended seminars held by Takeda with his father in Hokkaidō and that his father had been Choi's senior. Choi apparently contacted Kisshomaru upon hearing the news of Morihei's death.

Regardless of the circumstances of Choi's martial arts training, he returned to Korea after World War II and settled in Daegu, first selling sweets and later raising hogs. In 1948, after becoming involved in an altercation with several men in a dispute over grain at the Seo Brewing Company, the son of the chairman of the brewery, Seo Bok-seob, was so impressed by his self-defense skills that Seo invited Choi to teach the brewery's employees at a makeshift dojang that Seo had created on the premises for that purpose. In this way, Seo Bok-seob became Choi Yong-sool's first student. Later Choi became a bodyguard to Seo's father, who was an important congressman in Daegu.

Spreading the art
In 1951, Choi and Seo opened up the Daehan Hapki Yu Kwon Sool Dojang, the first formal school to teach the art. In 1958, Choi Yong-sool opened up his own school using the shortened name Hapkido for the first time. Both schools were located in Daegu. Some of the more important students from this period of time were Kim Moo-hong and Moon Jong-won. Apparently Choi also taught people on his farm during the early years of the art and it was in this way that Ji Han-jae, one of the great exponents of the art, came to learn from Choi.

The founders of two arts, Lee Joo-bang of modern Hwa Rang Do and Seo In-hyuk (Suh In-hyuk) of Kuk Sool Won, are thought by some to have trained with Choi Yong-sool, although this is controversial. Others assert that their training came from Kim Moo-hong's hapkido school in Seoul, with which they were known to have been associated.

In 1963, Choi became the first Chairman of the Korea Kido Association (Daehan Ki Do Hwe; ) and appointed one of his most senior students, Kim Jeong-yoon (also rendered Kim Jung-yun) as secretary general. Later, Kim separated from the hapkido organizations to form his own Han Pul Hapkido organization, although his art remains firmly based in the teachings of Choi Yong-sool. Another prominent top student who became crucial to the survival of Doju Choi's full system was Chinil Chang, the personally chosen second Doju (Grandmaster) and the only man awarded the 10th Dan and the title of Doju directly from Doju Choi.

Students of importance who were trained by Choi during the later periods of his teaching were Kim Jeong-yoon, Kim Yoon-sang who later went on to form his own offshoot Hapki yusul organization to fabricate and support his erroneous and misguided claims of being the surviving grandmaster of hapkido. and Park Jeong-hwan, who trained under Choi for only three years, is one of the later students that opened a Hapkido school in America, several of which still function today.

Doju Choi made a special trip to the United States in 1982, several years prior to his death, to visit his highest ranked instructor Chinil Chang in New York City and to preside over the creation of the US Hapkido Association. Master Mike Wollmershauser, who was the only American to have trained under Choi Yong-sool himself, documented part of this historic visit on videotape, which is in the hands of Doju Chinil Chang. Doju Choi's final wishes were to spread Hap Ki Do all over the world as well as to unite the art as one family, although Doju Choi had realized at that point that the system had splintered into too many political and warring factions for that to ever happen. He also wished to keep his original system intact and for the lineage to be passed in a complete manner to his successor, which he accomplished. Master Wollmershauser attempted to spread this word of unity throughout the world until his death in December 2002. Doju Chang maintains the integrity and purpose of his mission while continuing to teach his students as he has since arriving in the United States decades ago.

Controversy
Choi's claims of being a student of Daito-ryu under Takeda Sokaku are contested and unsupported by the fee and attendance records of Takeda Sokaku that still exist today. However, according to Kisshomaru Ueshiba, son of Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba, a young Korean was present at several of Takeda's seminars, suggesting that some Korean nationals had some formal training in Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu. One can only speculate as to why Choi's name is not on the otherwise meticulous records. The claim by some that the lack of documentation was due to his Korean ancestry is difficult to uphold since other Korean students are mentioned in the records. Others claim that, since Choi was Takeda's house servant, it is logical to assume he was trained by him or at least in his dojo. There is a strong similarity to the techniques taught in Daito-ryu and the techniques of Hapkido.

The source of the name Hapkido is also disputed. Choi Yong-sool's student, Ji Han-jae, claims to have coined the name for the art. Seo Bok-seob states in a 1980 interview that Jung Moo Kwan first used the term to refer to the art as well as introducing the symbol of the eagle to represent the art.

Successor
A direct student of Choi, Chinil Chang inherited the title of Doju in Choi's personal and complete system of Hapkido on January 15, 1985, becoming the second direct lineage Grandmaster.

On April 5, 1985, Choi personally awarded Chang the only existing 10th Dan certificate in Hapkido history. Chang also had the privilege and honor of being the first Hapkido master awarded the 9th Dan certificate by Choi in 1980.

A large inauguration ceremony followed on April 11, 1985. The historic event was covered and documented by Korea Sports News and MBC Korean Television. Choi Young-sool, Chang, and Choi's son, the late Choi Bok-yeol, were in attendance. Chang is the only Hapkido master ever awarded the 10th Dan and Doju title directly from Choi. Choi left the full documentation and recordings of the system to Chang, who continued to research and document the full history and development of Hapkido.

Furthermore, the future Grandmaster, who was a personally trained, closed-door disciple of Choi, was given Letter of Appointment certificates, the second dated December 1, 1977 and the third dated March 5, 1980. This gave Chang more progressive power and authority in Choi's Hapkido Association. These specific certificates, along with his 9th Dan ranking in 1980, and 10th Dan ranking in 1985, amply demonstrate that Choi was grooming Chang to be the future Grandmaster of Hapkido.

Chang's intimate video interview (one of several over decades) with his teacher Doju Choi during his visit to New York City has been abused through numerous interpretations and translations. Some have even claimed erroneously to have conducted the interview themselves, further clouding and distorting the truth and gravity inherent in the interview. These endless distortions were generally rebutted in various media each time they appeared.

In 2013, Doju Chang was teaching a small group in NYC dedicated to the preservation of Hapkido, after previously maintaining a commercial school for decades, as well as a stint teaching Hapkido at the United Nations. Many detractors have spread endless conjecture about him. One lineage created further controversy by stating Choi passed the system to his only son, Choi Bok-yeol, which is incorrect, misleading, and insulting to the legacy and wishes of Choi. Black Belt Magazine, respecting Chinil Chang as the second lineage successor, asked him to write a brief obituary on Choi that appeared in the April 1987 issue.

Doju Chang died in his sleep on February 23, 2018, at the age of 77 as a result of Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease.

Opus list
I added the complete opus list, but owing to a few peculiarities (like op.3 being comprised of two parts, and other things), its not as clear as it might be - could someone make it so that there is only one bullet per opus and the seperate compositions within each opus are indented?
 * fixed!

Is Aldbourne in Berkshire?
Under "1933-1939: Musical development", the article says that Finzi settled with his wife in Aldbourne, Berkshire, but I can't find an Aldbourne in Berkshire. My road atlas and Multimap only list an Aldbourne in Wiltshire (a little over 20 miles from Ashmansworth). Did the county boundary change in 1972 (see Local Government Act 1972) "move" Aldbourne to Wiltshire or is there some other problem?

Cleanup - June 2009
I've identified the following things to do in this article: --Lendorien (talk) 18:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Tonal issues - Article has an essay tone that needs to be corrected.
 * Possible Original Research
 * Sourcing - This article has almost zero sourcing. It makes unverified claims as to the subject's popularity.

Cause of death
I am a doctor (and occasional contributor to Wikipedia, but a regular contributor to ganfyd medical wiki), and am also in a choir, currently rehearsing a Finzi piece.

I was intrigued by the statements about his death. It would have been very unusual in the first half of the twentieth century to survive until middle age without having had chickenpox. Hodgkins disease, however, causes immune suppression, and can be associated with disseminated shingles (caused by reactivation of the virus that causes chickenpox - although at the time of his death this was not known - see the Hope-Simpson references at the ganfyd shingles page). This sounds like a more likely cause of death than primary chickenpox. I would be interested in knowing the source of the statement on this page about Finzi's death. --peter_english (talk) 09:28, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The ?official Finzi web site confirms that he had Hodgkin's lymphoma, but makes no mention of chickenpox or shingles ("Finzi finally lost the fight against his illness and he died on September 27, 1956"). [http://www.biographybase.com/biography/Finzi_Gerald.html Biography Base mentions the chickenpox story ("In 1951, Finzi learned that he was suffering from the incurable Hodgkin's disease and had at most ten years to live... In 1956, on an excursion near Gloucester with Vaughan Williams, Finzi contracted chickenpox which was too much for his weakened state, causing severe brain inflammation").

 * In Gerald Finzi: his life and music By Diana M. McVeagh (p250_ my suspicions are supported: in September 1956 he had shingles, and "Then shingles, a virus-related disease, developed", followed by of "encephalitis" and death. This is far more consistent with what I would expect. --peter_english (talk) 09:42, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Interestingly, the McVeagh book mentions that, prior to his illness, Finzi had gone with "Uncle Ralph" (?Vaughan Williams - unfortunately the previous page is not available to internet browsers, and I do not have the actual book) into "the sexton's cottage", where "It didn't seem important that one of the sexton's children had chickenpox". There is a widespread suspicion that exposure to chickenpox can induce shingles. In contrast, the Hope-Simpson hypothesis suggests that exposure to chickenpox "boosts" immunity, delaying or preventing the onset of shingles... These two hypotheses are not altogether incompatible; but, while many doctors still believe that chickenpox can induce shingles in a susceptible individual, this is not supported by objective evidence, but rather by anecdote; and as chickenpox is very common (most people get it in childhood), many shingles patients will, by coincidence, have been recently exposed to chickenpox. --peter_english (talk) 10:00, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I have edited the page. I'm confident of what I've written. I've also edited the Disseminated herpes zoster page. I'm looking out some references, which I'll add later. --peter_english (talk) 10:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

COI declaration
I just corrected an external web address for Finzi's Friends that was already present, but declare that the organisation is a client of mine (I host their website). --Iantresman (talk) 15:33, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Why I edited the first paragraph of Finzi's biography as I did
After pointing out he was born in London, of parents of Jewish background, it was stated that he 'nevertheless' became a very "English" composer of his generation. He was English; being Jewish doesn't change this, and it was insensitive to imply this. If he were Christian, would one have said 'nevertheless'? Note that, on the other hand, the 'despite' which follows, in "[d]espite being an agnostic, he wrote some inspired and imposing Christian choral music," is reasonable since he was an agnostic (not to mention of Jewish background). Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanamizu (talk • contribs) 07:37, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity. Wrong. It is both. To emphasise this point, even the lede at Jews describes them as "an ethnoreligious group"--a distinct and discrete ethnic group. While it's borderline controversial because of the overtones of historical racism and alientation, an example is that of European jews...they never were accepted as a homogenous component of any ethnic group associated with a nation-state--there was always a separateness, a division based on ethnic lines. For example: German Jews and Germans are not the same ethnicity just because they share a common language and location, in fact they are two vastly different cultures--one of the requirements for being different ethnically. By comparison, a Somali-American who came as a refugee in the 1990s to Maine in the US (essentially still "Somali" in culture) is not considered "as American" as a WASPy Boston Brahmin descended from the Mayflower passengers. --ColonelHenry (talk) 15:44, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Dies Natalis vs Intimations at 3 choirs
The article says that it was Dies natalis which was delayed by the Outbreak of World War 2 and would have been performed at three Choirs festival - but this does not seem likely since it would not easily lie within the remit of three Choirs. it seems more likely that the work referred to is the intimations of Immortality. can anyone shed any further light on this?

Not sure about this edit
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Christopher_Tye&diff=next&oldid=847310665 I presume this is a bona fide edit, but it leaves doubts. I don't see that the removed paragraph was extraneous, nonsensical (true, it could do with an edit), or redundant. There is no mention elsewhere of the In Nomines, or of instrumental works. I don't want to restore it without some other opinions though... Nick Michael (talk) 19:04, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Nick, good spot, thanks - yeah I don't know what that IP editor was going on about. Rob (talk) 12:39, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Possible earlier date of birth?
In the programme notes for a ceremony on 27 Feb 1987 at King's College Chapel, Cambridge, it is noted that Tye was a "Chorister 1508 - 1512". If this is correct (and it might be worth finding out why King's thinks so), his D.O.B. must be several years earlier than 1505.

Not enough evidence to justify an edit quite yet, hence a note here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.141.11.122 (talk) 12:49, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It always fascinates me how little we know about people in this era. Nigel Davison in the ODNB does acknowledge the idea of him being a King's chorister, but is quite cautious about stating as fact: "[Tye] was probably born in East Anglia, where the name was quite common. Suggestions that he was born about 1497 and was a chorister at King's College, Cambridge, in 1511 and 1512 cannot be verified (a choirboy Tye is listed with no forename). The first mention of Christopher Tye is in a Cambridge grace book, which records his graduation MusB in 1536" Rob (talk) 23:29, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Princess Alexandra of Hanover (born 1999)

Religion
Is Princess Alexandra Protestant? Presumably her mother is Catholic, unless she converted upon her marriage? If she is Protestant, does that have any difficulties for her succession to the Monegasque throne? It certainly would preclude her from the British throne. Zoe 23:10, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

 * No, she is catholic, as is her mother, and both her and her father are excluded from the line of succession. I will remove the succession bow here and fix any errors on the main list. And I do not believe that if she were protestant that it would effect her being in the succession for monaco's throne. Mac Domhnaill 23:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I have reomved the succesion box, which not only is she excluded from succession to the British throne, but even if she was she would now be preceded by Prince Alexander of Hanover (as that person does not exist) but would be preceded by her half brother Prince Christian of Hanover.Mac Domhnaill 00:02, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I am watching the enthronement of Albert II of Monaco ceremony on TF1. They say she is indeed protestant. The commenter went on to say that she is on the list of succession to the British throne but not on the list of succession of Monaco. Hektor 09:46, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Well I think that that comentator was wrong because as far as I knew there was not a requirment for the sovereign of Monaco to be Catholic. I believe there was some contoversy over this, and therefore regardless of whether or not she was Catholic she would still be in line of succession to Monaco throne. And I find it hard to believe that she is protestant, as her mother is such a devout Catholic. Mac Domhnaill

Bold textThe commentator was not wrong. Princess Alexandra is Protestant. Her mother and father chose to raise her as protestant so that she would keep her place in the line of succession to the British throne. The Prince of Hanover lost his own place in the line of succession due to his marriage to a Catholic. However, as long as his daughter is raised Protestant this has no effect on her rights. Princess Alexandra is the the order of succession to the British throne. Additionally, The Duke of Kent didn't lose his place in succession when his wife converted because he did not marry a Catholic as the law states she converted after their marriage. The children of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent also have rights despite their father's marraige to their Catholic mother, because they were raised Lutheran. I have corrected the incorrect information in the Wiki article about Alexandra.

 * Such a devout Catholic that she divorced after 22 nomths marriage ; was pregnant twice outside of marriage and conducted an affair with her friend's husband...

 * No such a devout Catholic that she fought for 10 years to have the 22 month marriage, which ended due to her husbands numerous affairs. Mac Domhnaill

 * ...a "devout" Catholic would have waited for the annulment to be granted before marrying again but she couldn't wait, for obvious reasons. Mr. Junot still contends that she was unfaithful first and that her petulance, willfulness and arrogance coupled with the interference of her father is what led to the breakdown.

I feel it is wrong to style her a devout Catholic when, clearly, her lifestyle proves she is not. 86.42.18.244 13:53, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Our job as editors is not to determine whether or not someone is "devout" (as there is no factual basis in devotion). We can simply state that she is a practicing Catholic. Our opinions on the matter have no use here on Wikipedia. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:50, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Royal style
Princess' Alexandra derives her 'royal' style from her father 'Prince' Ernest von Hanover. However, its my understanding the Hanoverian styles were abolished in 1917. That said is she legally a princess that would be address as Your Royal Highness ? If so, how is that is able use a title that does not really exist. Princess Caroline other three children former late husband seemed to be styled as commoners. Why are they not princes or princesses of Monaco ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.132 (talk • contribs)

 * In Monaco, she is treated by the court as a royal princess with all of the applicable titles and styles. It is the perogative of the Monegasque sovereign to allow titles and styles to be used by members of his family. The Princess of Hanover's other three children do not have princely titles because they do not descend in the male line from a Prince of Monaco. Charles 22:11, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

 * It certainly is true that according to the laws of the German Republic Alexandra (and her father and family) has no more of a noble title than anybody else. However, titles are widely used socially in the German Republic.  Even government officials regularly address people like Alexandra's family as "Royal Highness" etc.  As Charles states, in Monaco, Alexandra is accorded the style "Royal Highness".  This is just like in Liechtenstein, the Hereditary Princess (born a princess of Bavaria) is also accorded the style "Royal Highness". Noel S McFerran 00:56, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I guess, the Hanoverian styles were abolished in 1866. --YOMAL SIDOROFF-BIARMSKII (talk) 08:52, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Would Princess Alexandra be treated a royal princess in other royal courts, for example, in the UK ?

 * Yes. When Alexandra's father goes to official events, he is invariably identified as "His Royal Highness Prince Ernst-August of Hanover" (or some variant thereof).  See, for example, the list of those who attended the funeral in Westminster Abbey, April 9, 2002:  Noel S McFerran 21:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Being his father still alive, why one of his heir (and even not the first born) has already an (ex) 'royal' style? --Mezze stagioni (talk) 11:34, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Redirecting
This article is a good candidate for a redirect to either her mother or father. Speaking of her relations or otherwise incidental associations does not make the little princess notable enough for an article. Charles 00:03, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Why is she notable? --Mezze stagioni (talk) 11:35, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Moving article
This move should not have occurred without a discussion. Firstly, Hannover is the German spelling, as shown in the new article title, but it is not spelled that way throughout the article, and there is no consistency between German (Hannover) and English (Hanover) spellings between other Hanoverian articles on Wikipedia. Secondly, I believe this article should be moved back to the original title Princess Alexandra of Hanover because the Monegasque palace refers to the Hanovers as TRH Princesses of Hanover (see here), regardless of what German laws are. She is a Monegasque citizen, and that country accords her royal status. Her birth is mentioned on Monaco's palace website as: On January 1999 the Princess married His Royal Highness Prince Ernst of Hanover in the Princes Palace. This union resulted in the birth of Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra of Hanover on July 20, 1999.'''

Thirdly, Princess Alexandra is her WP:COMMONNAME as shown by quick Google search:

 * "Princess Alexanda and Boyfriend.."
 * "Princess Alexandra of Hanover, Grace Kelly's.. "
 * Grace Kelly's granddaughter Princess Alexandra of Hanover"
 * Princess Alexandra Has the Ultimate.."
 * "Alexandra of Hanover"
 * "Princess Alexandra is Lovely.."
 * "Princess Alexandra of Hanover's Best.."
 * "Why Monaco's Princess Alexandra of Hanover.."
 * "Princess Alexandra of Hanover follows.."

-- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 14:10, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I would accept your argument citing WP:COMMONNAME but I would not under any circumstances even consider the Monegasque palace's stance on this matter. 1) That's a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE 2) They can call her and her mom princesses of Hanover until they are blue in the face; doesn't alter the fact that Hanover is part of Germany, which is a republic and recognizes no such titles. Keivan.f  Talk 14:34, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * She's Monegasque not German. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:40, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Which is why it's absurd for the Monegasque royal house to be bestowing German titles on its members. They have no authority in this case whatsoever. In theory they can call her whatever they want; still doesn't mean that the title is actually recognized at its place of origin. Keivan.f  Talk 16:56, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Technically her surname, under German law, would be Prinzessin von Hannover anyway, and I see no sources provided for that nor was the article moved to that name. Furthermore, she was born in Austria, which does not allow nobiliary particles in the surname and therefore would make her Alexandra Hannover. As stated before, she is a Monegasque national and recognized as a relative of the princely house, and therefore accorded her title in courtesy by the Monegasque government, just as her mother is recognized as The Princess of Hanover. This is not unusual, as other governments have done the same thing.. Such as the United Kingdom recognizing noble and royal titles of defunct monarchies, say Princess Olga Andreevna Romanoff, for example. At the end of the day, she is most commonly known as Princess Alexandra of Hanover. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:34, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

2005 Iraqi constitutional referendum

The electorate of Iraq went to the polls on 15 October 2005 to vote in a referendum on whether or not to ratify the proposed constitution of Iraq. After 10 days of counting votes, the country's electoral commission announced that the constitution had been approved by a wide margin nationwide. A number of mainly Sunni critics like future deputy prime minister Saleh al-Mutlaq alleged massive irregularities, saying that soldiers broke in to polling stations and changed votes to yes in the crucial province of Nineveh, which was expected by them to provide the third (and deciding) "no" vote.

Background and campaign
Article 61 of Iraq's Interim Constitution, in effect since 28 June 2004, laid down the rules for the approval of the proposed permanent constitution. The proposed constitution would have been approved in the referendum if both a majority of voters nationwide voted "yes" and there were no more than 2 of the country's 18 governorates where two-thirds of the voters voted "no." On 2 October 2005, the National Assembly weakened the second requirement such that it would only fail to be fulfilled if two-thirds of registered voters—rather than actual voters—in three governorates voted "no." Opponents of the Draft Constitution reacted angrily to this reinterpretation of Article 61 of the Interim Constitution. Critics had also pointed out that such an interpretation reads the term "voter" differently in both requirements; the first requirement is still simply fulfilled if a majority of actual voters nationwide votes yes. After much international criticism, the decision was reversed on 5 October.

The possibility of veto by supermajorities of three or more governorates was originally written into the interim constitution to ensure that the permanent constitution would be acceptable to Iraq's Kurdish minority. However, support for the constitution was weakest among Iraq's Sunni Arab community, and some observers thought that the Sunni vote would result in the constitution's rejection. While the exact ethnic distribution of the Iraqi population by governorate is unknown, because the country had not had an official census for 15 years, governorates that include substantial Sunni populations include Baghdad, Al Anbar, Salah ad Din, Nineveh and Diyala. In the event, Al Anbar, Saladin, and Nineveh all saw majorities vote against ratification, though the vote in Nineveh did not result in the two-thirds "no" supermajority required to scuttle the constitution.

Conduct
Voting took place as planned on 15 October. All civilian cars were banned from streets due to heavy security. Attacks against polling stations were reported in Bagdad, with low casualties. Initially, Iraqi election officials had hoped that results of the balloting would be made public by 19 October. On 17 October, however, election officials announced that questions concerning the turnout in some provinces required that the vote be audited, which delayed release of the final figures. A sandstorm in central Iraq has also contributed to the delay. Although Sunni politician Saleh al-Mutlaq has alleged fraud, election monitors from the United Nations said that the vote "went well."

During this election, security detainees held by coalition forces and the Ministry of Interior were given the opportunity to vote. This is the first time in the modern history of the Middle East that detainees of this nature were allowed to vote in any election.

Results
On 25 October, Electoral Commission officials released the final results, which indicated that the constitution had been approved. Overall, 79% of voters backed the charter and 21% opposed it. Of 18 governorates, only two recorded "No" votes greater than two thirds—one province short of a veto.

Aftermath
With the approval of the constitution, elections for a permanent government must be held no later than 15 December 2005, with the new government assuming office no later than 31 December 2005. If the constitution had been rejected, the National Assembly would have been dissolved, and a new transitional government would have been elected to attempt to write another permanent constitution.

This magnificent portrait appears in both this Thomas Morley article and also that of John Bull. I can't discover its whereabouts. It's not in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

International Financial Services London

International Financial Services, London, usually shortened to just IFSL, was a private-sector organisation which promoted British financial services. It was merged into a new promotional organisation, TheCityUK, in 2010. It was formerly known as British Invisibles.

History
British Invisibles itself originated in the Committee on Invisible Exports, set up in April 1968 by the Bank of England and then became the British Invisible Exports Council. It was largely the idea of Cyril Kleinwort who realised that the government was paying much attention to the UK's balance of trade in goods, but little to the UK's invisible earnings from services. In 1984 Patrick Pery, 6th Earl of Limerick had become Chairman of the organisation by which time invisible earnings were accounting for a third of the UK's earnings. He stayed until 1991. On 19 October 1990 the organisation (registered as a company) became British Invisibles. In January 1998 it merged with CEENET, a company set up by the Corporation of London to promote financial services to Eastern Europe, and re-branded itself as BI. It acquired a new Chief Executive, Jeremy Seddon, and a new Deputy Chief Executive, Henrietta Royle. Charlie Haswell joined the executive team, and later the Board, on secondment from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to develop links with British Embassies and High Commissions around the world. The company was a membership organisation and focused on running promotional events abroad for its members (primarily in the emerging markets), undertaking research on the performance of the financial services industry and providing the secretariat for financial services lobbying in the WTO. BI became known as IFSL on 1 February 2001. Invisibles historically have consisted of services (financial and legal), investment income and transfers. The organisation has in the past published The City Table, giving the order of financial services companies.

With effect from 1 June 2010 IFSL, the independent organisation representing the UK financial services industry internationally, has merged its activities, staff and business membership into TheCityUK, the new promotional body for the UK-based industry. TheCityUK is continuing IFSL's work of promoting the industry around the world, influencing trade policy and regulation, and publishing definitive research on the sector.

Membership
IFSL had a membership drawn from across the spectrum of the UK's financial and related business services, including trade and professional associations, exchanges, the Bank of England, the City of London Corporation and leading international financial service companies that based in London. IFSL also worked closely with Government departments, including UK Trade & Investment, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, HM Treasury, and the Office for National Statistics.

Aims
IFSL promoted the international activities of UK-based financial institutions, through business events in the UK and worldwide. Through its Liberalisation of Trade In Services (LOTIS) Committee, IFSL brought together government and the industry in working for the removal of barriers to trade in financial services. It also promoted public-private partnerships (PPPs), which involve large quantities of private finance.

Structure
Its last chairman was Lord Levene of Portsoken, and its last president was the Duke of Kent.

William Walter Phelps

William Walter Phelps (August 24, 1839 – June 17, 1894) was a United States Congressman and diplomat who served as United States Ambassador to Germany and Austria-Hungary.

He was the son of John Jay Phelps, a successful New York City merchant and financier. Prior to being elected to the United States House of Representatives he had a successful banking career in Manhattan, settling in Teaneck, New Jersey, across the Hudson River.

Early life
William Walter Phelps was born in New York City on August 24, 1839. His first school experience was at Mount Washington Institute in New York. Phelps then attended private school at Golden Hill near Bridgeport, Connecticut, where his academic advancement was so rapid that he was fully prepared for college at the age of 15.

He graduated from Yale College in 1860, valedictorian of his class and a member of Skull and Bones. In the same year he married Ellen Maria Sheffield of New Haven, Connecticut. They traveled in Europe, where, in Paris, in 1861, their first child, John Jay II, was born. Phelps attended Columbia Law School, graduating in 1863. Following this, he practiced corporate law in New York City. In 1864, their second child, Sheffield, was born.

Phelps followed the family career in banking and industry, serving as a director for the National City Bank, the Second National Bank of New York, the United States Trust Co., the Farmer's Loan & Trust Co. and nine railroads.

After the birth of his two sons, he bought a summer home in Bergen County an old-fashioned Dutch farmhouse on the "Teaneck Ridge," an area of Teaneck now adjacent to Route 4 that had been the Garret-Brinkerhoff House in Revolutionary War days. Phelps extensively renovated the old homestead, converting it into one of the most beautiful and celebrated mansions of its time. In 1868, the last child, Marian, was born; she would go on to give birth to his grandson Phelps Phelps. In 1869, following the death of his father, John Jay, Phelps retired from his law practice and moved the family full-time to Teaneck.

Congressman
Combining eloquence with an interest in politics, Phelps, a Republican, sought and won a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 1872 at the age of 34, representing New Jersey in the 43rd congress. During his first term in Congress. Phelps was considered by his colleagues to be a serious, well-versed and mature public servant - a successful young lawyer, ambitious, with money and energy who was expected to make his mark on politics and statesmanship.

Phelps failed in his first bid for reelection, in 1874. After his term ended, Phelps returned in 1875 to his Teaneck home, where he planned improvements to the homestead and looked for additional land investments nearby. In the next year, he embarked upon a European tour, partly to regain his health which had suffered from a bout of typhoid fever. While abroad, Phelps investigated institutions of learning and art in England, France and Germany, and enjoyed the society of scholars, authors and scientists.

Arboriculturist
Returning to the United States, Phelps spent most of his time resting and working on his most important hobby—his estate. His great passion was trees and the woods; he was a devotee of arboriculture. Between 1875 and 1880 Phelps was responsible for planting approximately 600,000 trees of numerous varieties.

In 1880 Phelps was selected to manage the Republican Presidential campaign but he was unable to complete the assignment because of feeble health. In 1881, President James A. Garfield named Phelps as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Austria-Hungary, but he held this post for only a few months, resigning after Garfield was assassinated.

Still active in politics, Phelps was re-elected to Congress in 1883, 1885 and again in 1887.

Art collector
In 1886 the Phelps mansion was completed. At Christmas time the family held a glorious celebration with people from all over the country viewing the mansion for the first time. Phelps' favorite room was a gallery which he had designed himself to hold his priceless collection of art treasures from the ends of the earth.

It was nearly midnight on April 1, 1888 when Phelps, returning to his apartments in Washington, D.C. after an evening with friends, found on the table in his bedroom two telegrams which told him that his mansion in Teaneck, where his family then was, had been totally destroyed by fire, with a loss of nearly all its valuable contents. He disturbed no one upon receiving this startling news, but very early in the morning awakened his secretary, told him what had happened, and said that he was going to take an immediate train for New York. He left on the train without once alluding to the great calamity.

The mansion, once the most beautiful in the area, became known as "Phelps' Ruin" and local residents picnicked near the destroyed home, marveling at what it once had been. Phelps immediately began renovation of the house.

German Ambassador
In 1889, William Phelps was appointed by president Benjamin Harrison as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Germany. On October 11, 1889, William Phelps was presented to the German Empress at a gala performance at the Royal Opera House, given in honor of the Czar of Russia. Phelps remained in the post for one year until a case of homesickness prompted his request for a short leave of absence. He sailed for America in September 1890.

In his diary Phelps wrote,

"I have come home to rest and enjoy myself. I intend to spend my vacation upon my Teaneck farm. I feel as if I were already a Jersey farmer again. See, there is one of my farm wagons on the pier, ready to take off my luggage and those lusty-looking fellows have come down fresh from Teaneck to give me an early welcome. I expect to live among the trees until I get rested, and then hunt up my friends to see that they have not forgotten me. No Politics this time, only that I shall vote the Republican ticket in Bergen County at the coming election, and soon after return to my official duties at Berlin."

Phelps returned to Germany a year later, remaining in this post until January 1893, when his health began to suffer due to the climate. He traveled south, vacationing in Spain, Morocco, Tunis, Algiers and Italy, hoping the climate would improve his health.

State judge and final days
While Phelps was vacationing, Governor of New Jersey George T. Werts appointed him Judge of the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals, then the state's highest court. Turning over the affairs of the legation to his successor, Phelps again returned to the United States to be sworn into his judicial role on June 20, 1893.

In February 1894, Phelps' throat began to trouble him seriously, and the illness confined him to his home for days. He continued to try to keep up with his work and was present until the adjournment of the term. A few days later he traveled to the Hygeia Hotel at Old Point Comfort in Virginia, a resort that in the past had been a place of rest for him.

Phelps became withdrawn and quiet, an attitude brought on by his physical inability to converse. The last entry in his diary is dated April 10, 1894. Phelps moved himself to Hot Springs, Virginia, where he enjoyed a temporary return of strength. Finding no lasting improvement in his health in Hot Springs, Phelps returned to his home in Teaneck on May 18. By May 31 he was bedridden, and in June he lapsed into a coma. He died June 17, 1894.

Hundreds of people lined the streets of Teaneck and Englewood to honor his funeral procession. The trees he had planted himself lined the path of this final journey. At the time of his death, Phelps owned half of what is presently Teaneck. He was interred at Simsbury Cemetery in Simsbury, Connecticut.

Cut & paste move of Apple SilenType
Hi there, I see that you recently moved Apple SilenType to Apple Silentype by copy and pasting the article. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

Job scheduler references
Hallo! I am an italian wikipedia user. I was trying to differentiate two concepts in italian wp "scheduler" (tasks, CPU...) and "job scheduler" (operating system scheduler, user operations....) One way, for me, to achieve this task is to translate the en.wiki article... but i see that the article has no reference since year 2007. Sorry if i am bothering you with this... but i am asking you to ... ask someone that you think is the right user to find sources and place the references tags. Sorry sorry sorry if my english is so ugly. I can translate well, but i write in this "funny" way...

Can you help? For me is a good starting point to have the en.wiki page to translate from. Then i can ask some IT students (if i can find one) in italy to add italian sources. But... there is still no page for "job scheduling" in it.wiki.

Greetings from Italy :) --(Sorry for my bad english) WikIT_2007  (talk) 14:46, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
