Little Astrology Prince Astrology book
An article about a book which...does not exist?! No ISBN, No publisher. and online bookshops do not have anything with this title. 202.156.2.74 01:09, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge with Little Astrology Prince (which I think itself is only a "weak keep.") "Little Astrology Prince" does have a pop-up-ad-laden website with a number of online divination tools (http://www.astprince.com/) and apparently (per a review found here http://www.wicce.com/roth14.html) has published a rather ugly Tarot deck. Even if this person is sufficiently notable, I can't imagine this book is notable enough for its own entry. Crypticfirefly 01:31, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per the debate over deletion that is ongoing at Little Astrology Prince. No-one can assess his notability. Both these should be removed. Dottore So 01:46, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep . This book was a bestseller. This is verifiable from other sources. — Instantnood 06:58, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * No vote (for now) - there's a lot of noise on this from Google - but most seems to be mirrors, dictionary stuff and dead ends. Could be small-time vanity publication, it doesn't look like a 'best seller'. Would Instantnood like to share these 'other sources' with us? --Doc (?) 11:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - without even an ISBN, it's not a book. Nandesuka 12:42, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Wee Starry Dude, while I had no objections to him (and I won't make the same comment again, GraemeL) this is a no go. Little chance of it being expanded and better place in his article. Nostradalfus 12:53, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: The ISBN of this book is ISBN 9629070618, details at cp1897.com.hk and astprince.com. This page mentioned the popularlity of this book, and for how long it's a bestseller. This article describes this person and the a book series he writes that published yearly. — Instantnood 17:48, August 27, 2005 (UTC) (modified 18:09, August 27, 2005 (UTC))
 * Delete If it was a bestseller, Amazon should know about it. Groeck 18:02, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I don't think it's appropriate to expect Amazon would tell which non-English-language book is/was the bestseller in Hong Kong. — Instantnood 18:09, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Instandhood, that is excellent, I say we upload the cover of the nice green one (called Happiness) and maybe even the Saint-Exupéry look alike and merge to Little Starry Dude, making that page much better. Also note this and The Little Prince for possible disambiguation. Alf 20:24, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Business opportunity

A business opportunity (or bizopp) involves sale or lease of any product, service, equipment, etc. that will enable the purchaser-licensee to begin a business. The licensor or seller of a business opportunity usually declares that it will secure or assist the buyer in finding a suitable location or provide the product to the purchaser-licensee. This is different from the sale of an independent business, in which there is no continued relationship required by the seller.

Eckhardt and Shane (2003) argue that when taking the path of entrepreneurship, one of the most important indicators for future entrepreneurship is the skill of finding the business opportunity. This is seen as the lynchpin around which the promise of entrepreneurial venture is to be built. Shane and state that individuals must possess prior knowledge and the cognitive properties necessary to value such knowledge in order to identify the new opportunity. This normally allows a triggering of the opportunity which can then move forward to scoping and validation.

Concept
A common type of business opportunity involves a company that sells bulk vending machines and promises to secure suitable locations for the machines. The purchaser is counting on the company to find locations where sales will be high enough to enable them to recoup their expenses and make a profit. Because of the many cases of fraudulent biz-ops in which companies have not followed through on their promises, or in which profits were much less than what the company led the investor to believe, governments closely regulate these operations.

In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission receives complaints and helps coordinate enforcement action against fraudulent business opportunities.

Makeup of a business opportunity
A business opportunity consists of four elements all of which are to be present most often within the same domain or geographical location, before it can be claimed as a business opportunity. These four elements are:
 * A need
 * The means to fulfill the need
 * A method to apply the means to fulfill the need and;
 * A method to benefit

With any one of the elements missing, a business opportunity may be developed, by finding the missing element. A desirable characteristic is for the combination of elements to be unique. The more control an institution (or individual) has over the elements, the better they are positioned to exploit the opportunity and become a niche market leader.

Abul Fateh

Abul Fateh (আবুল ফতেহ; 16 May 1924 – 4 December 2010) was a Bangladeshi diplomat, statesman and Sufi who was one of the founding fathers of South Asian diplomacy after the Second World War, having been the founder and inaugural Director of Pakistan's Foreign Service Academy and subsequently becoming Bangladesh's first Foreign Secretary when it gained its independence in 1971. He was Bangladesh's senior-most diplomat both during the 'Liberation War' period of its Mujibnagar administration as well as in peacetime.

A former Carnegie Fellow in International Peace and Rockefeller Foundation Scholar and Research Fellow, he has been described as "soft-spoken and scholarly" and "a lesson for all diplomats".

Exceptionally for a Bengali-born diplomat, he rose to the most senior ranks of public service in Pakistan. Then at the time Bangladesh began seeking independence, he spectacularly defected and changed sides to support the fledgling country of Bangladesh – a major propaganda coup and morale boost for the cause of Bangladeshi liberation given his stature in Pakistan's hierarchy. Abul Fateh was automatically the highest-ranked and most senior foreign service officer in the new country. His story was later documented in a National Geographic documentary, Running for Freedom.

Following his death he was described by a former colleague and successor Foreign Secretary as "a great and brave freedom fighter" who was at the same time "remarkably reticent about his contributions", a "soft-spoken and scholarly diplomat" whose service to the Bangladeshi independence cause at a critical period was "invaluable" and "a lesson for all diplomats. His outstanding professional skill and deep sense of patriotism should be a shining example". The Foreign Minister of Bangladesh Dipu Moni talked about his "contribution to self-right movements of people, country's independence struggle and managing assistance to war-ravaged country after independence." She also cited his "outstanding career", stating that he would be "always remembered for his contribution to the country's liberation" war.

Although rarely in the public eye, Abul Fateh was a distinguished figure in the history of post-Second World War, post-colonial diplomacy, a public servant who was a leading light behind the scenes within the Developing World and Non Aligned Conference, including the Commonwealth, with a significant tour of duty in Washington D.C. at the height of the Cold War. In the West too Abul Fateh came to be held in the highest regard, a rare joint U.S./U.K. intelligence assessment remarking in 1977 that he was: "very able, highly intelligent, moderate, easy to deal with, and well informed".

At the launch of his university's South Asia Centre in 2015, the President and Director of the London School of Economics Professor Craig Calhoun included Abul Fateh in a list of a dozen public figures of the 20th century who he felt represented "the greatest fruits" of the "close mutual relations between South Asia and the LSE".

Early life and education
Abul Fateh was born in Kishoreganj on 16 May 1924 in a landowning family, to Abdul Gafur and his second wife Zohra Khatun. Abul Fateh was a middle child, in a large family of a dozen children who survived to adulthood, while two other siblings died young. His father Abdul Gafur had attended Presidency College, Calcutta, and was one of the first Muslim daroga (sheriffs) in British India. Abul Fateh's mother Zohra was the daughter of a local nobleman. Abul Fateh passed his matriculation exams from Ramkrishna High English School in Kishorganj in 1941. After passing his Intermediate exams from Ananda Mohan College in Mymensingh in 1943, he undertook higher studies in English Literature at Dhaka University (BA Honours in 1946 and MA in 1947) where he also excelled in sport, for a time captaining the cricket team and becoming the table tennis champion.

Pakistani diplomat
While teaching English Literature at Brindaban College in Sylhet, he took the first Foreign Service exams of Pakistan (1948), before teaching English Literature for a few months at Michael Madhusudhan Datta College in Jessore. He joined the first batch of Pakistan Foreign Service trainees in 1949, moving to Karachi. Soon after he left for training in London, which included taking a special course at the London School of Economics, before he moved in 1950 to Paris to complete his training. Returning briefly to Karachi, he was sent back (1951) to Paris as Third Secretary in the Pakistan Embassy.

A further posting as Third Secretary followed in Calcutta (1953–1956). During this time he married, at Rangpur on 5 January 1956, Mahfuza Banu of Dhubri, Assam daughter of Shahabuddin Ahmed, a respected lawyer and Mashudaa Banu a well known social campaigner. Then promoted to Second Secretary, he served in the Pakistan Embassy in Washington, D.C. from 1956 to 1960, during which time he and his wife had their two sons, one of whom, Aladin, is a strategy consultant, academic, artist and Editor Emeritus of the Bangladeshi news organisation Bdnews24.

Abul Fateh was a Director attached to the Foreign Ministry in Karachi from 1960 to 1963, during which time he was founding Director of Pakistan's Foreign Service Academy in Lahore and also went for a year and a half (1962–1963) to Geneva as a Fellow of the Graduate Institute of International Studies (Institut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales) under a Carnegie fellowship.

Further foreign postings followed. He was First Secretary (and latterly acting chief of mission) in Prague from 1965 to 1966, Counsellor in New Delhi from 1966 to 1967, and Deputy High Commissioner in Calcutta from 1968 to 1970. He received his first posting as ambassador, at the Pakistan Embassy in Baghdad, in 1970.

Bangladeshi independence
After the Pakistani military crackdown in March 1971, Abul Fateh received a request from a former university dormitory mate, Syed Nazrul Islam, now Acting President in the Bangladesh government-in-exile, to join the liberation struggle.

At about the same time, in July 1971, Fateh received a summons from the Pakistan Foreign Ministry to attend a conference in Tehran of regional Pakistani ambassadors. He chose to take his official car ostensibly to drive to Tehran but, as he and his driver approached the Iran–Iraq border, he feigned chest pains and ordered the driver to return him home, where he arrived that evening. Saying that he would take a plane the next day, he dismissed the driver. That night, he fled with his wife and sons across the border into Kuwait, where they were assisted by officials attached to the local Indian Embassy to take a plane to London.

The announcement of Abul Fateh's defection to the Bangladesh cause marked the first time a full ambassador had joined the fledgling Bangladesh diplomatic service. The news was received with fury by the military regime in Islamabad, duped by what was later described as a "cool and calculated James Bond-type adventure" and a calculated plunge into danger. It was a dramatic defection which created sensation in diplomatic circles and greatly boosted the morale of those engaged in the war of liberation. The Yahya Khan military regime in Pakistan was furious and requested the British Government to extradite Abul Fateh from London, but the requests were rebuffed by the British Government. These events were chronicled in a 2003 National Geographic Channel television documentary, Running for Freedom.

The Mujibnagar government made him ambassador-at-large, followed in August 1971 by the concurrent position of Advisor to the Acting President, a position he was to resign in January 1972 after the return to Bangladesh of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He had a key role managing relations with the United States and India whilst heading the nascent country's diplomatic service. As the senior-most diplomat of the Bangladesh movement in the United Nations delegation under Justice Abu Sayed Choudhury which was in New York in September 1971 to lobby for the Bangladesh cause at the General Assembly, he played a vital role in the delegation's lobbying efforts. He was also in communication with other governments, such as the Nixon administration in the United States and also with Senators, Congressmen, and high officials in the US Administration, World Bank, and IMF; he had the advantage as well of being familiar with decision-makers and the decision-making process having served as a diplomat in Washington 20 years earlier. Former colleague Syed Muazzem Ali described him as a "soft-spoken and scholarly diplomat" who was exceptional in articulating the cause and whose contributions were invaluable. He was one of the first high officials to reach Dhaka after its liberation, and was quartered with other senior officials in Bangabhaban until January 1972. He was also the highest Bangladeshi official in Dhaka until the acting president and cabinet arrived after independence; on his arrival in Dhaka he was driven under escort from the airport, becoming the first civilian official to lay a wreath at the ruins of the Shaheed Minar, an act planned to mark the first presence of the government in Dhaka. Already the effective head of the incipient foreign service, he became Foreign Secretary at the end of 1971, playing a key role in formulating Bangladesh's foreign policy. "Especially intriguing is the move, an abortive one, by the Pakistani authorities to have A.F.M Abul Fateh, a Bengali serving as Pakistan's ambassador abroad, extradited to Islamabad once he switches allegiance to the Mujibnagar government."

Bangladeshi ambassador
He then took up the position of Bangladesh's first Ambassador in Paris (1972–1976). The early part of this posting involved extensive travel in Africa to persuade African governments to recognise the independence of Bangladesh. In 1973 he represented Bangladesh at a Commonwealth conference for Youth Ministers in Lusaka. In 1975 he went to Morocco and, at a time of a shortage in supply of phosphates, managed to secure a substantial phosphate shipment for Bangladesh.

In mid-1975 he was selected to be High Commissioner in the UK, which post he took up in early 1976. His two years in London (1976–1977) saw him Chairing the Commonwealth Conference on Human Ecology and Development and the Bangladesh government approved his recommendation that dual citizenship be permitted. Many people from Bangladesh were settled in the UK, whose remittances into Bangladesh were an important source of foreign exchange. He pointed out that to oblige them to forgo Bangladesh citizenship if they took up the benefits of British nationality was not conducive to the continued maintenance of their ties to the mother country.

His last post was as ambassador in Algiers (1977–1982). He represented the Bangladesh government at conferences on Namibia in Algiers of the United Nations (1980) and the Non Aligned Conference (1981). He retired from that post in 1982.

Abul Fateh became a casualty of Bangladesh's complex and shifting political landscape towards the end of his career. As he was closely identified with Bangladesh's initial, Liberation War era administration Abul Fateh was not favoured by the military-backed regimes which followed it. Contemporary historians have characterised his Ambassadorial assignment to Algeria as a premature transfer and a virtual exile in a diplomatic post which was a relative back-water. One commentator voicing the widely held belief that Abul Fateh was "a victim of conspiracy hatched against him by anti-liberation forces.

Retirement
Retiring in 1982, he lived with his wife Mahfuza Banu in Dhaka for ten years before they settled in London to be near their sons.

Death and honours at funeral
Abul Fateh died in London of natural causes at 0745 on 4 December 2010.

A Sufi, he once cited a few of the axioms according to which he led his life: "Do not speak anything that you do not yourself know to be true." "Speak in the spirit of offering, without the need to draw attention to yourself." "You should stand up when it matters."

Abul Fateh was buried with Bangladesh State Honours at Hendon Cemetery, London on 7 December 2010

The Bangladesh Government was represented by His Excellency the Bangladesh High Commissioner Professor Mohammad Sayeedur Rahman Khan Khan who delivered a homily which spoke of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's devastation at the news of Ambassador Abul Fateh's death, conveyed the condolences of Foreign Minister Dipu Moni and spoke of the highest standard of public service that Mr. Abul Fateh's conduct and career represented. In consideration of the esteem of the Bangladesh government and its people for Ambassador Abul Fateh, the High Commissioner had personally brought the flag of Bangladesh to be draped over the coffin so that Mr. Abul Fateh could briefly lie in state before his interring. Justice of the Supreme Court the Right Honorable Syed Refaat Ahmed also spoke at the event about Abul Fateh's humility and self-effacement in all contexts, against the backdrop of an enormous contribution to the public and civic life of the country. A few days later at the Qul Khwani and non-denominational Sufi service on 11 December 2010, Murad Qureshi, Member of the London Assembly at London's City Hall, spoke, reminding those gathered that Abul Fateh father chose to stand and be counted during the 1971 war in quite fraught circumstances. The Sufi Order established by Inayat Khan, whose son Vilayat Inayat Khan was a friend of Abul, arranged a non-denominational Sufi Service. Pir Vilayat Khan's son Pir Zia Khan sent a personal message, which also stated: "Abul Fateh Sahib has lived a life of honour and service and is a mystic in spirit"

All media in Bangladesh carried extensive notices about the death of the country's most distinguished diplomat.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-08-29/Features and admins

Admins
In the first week where self-nominations were in the same section as admin nominations by others, five Wikipedians were promoted to administration status: HappyCamper (nom), Hall Monitor (nom), Phil Boswell (nom), Lupin (nom), and TheCoffee (nom).

Bureaucrats
Andrevan nominated himself for bureaucratship in the first request for bureaucratship in over nine months. Though general consensus nine months ago was that there were enough bureaucrats, Andrevan stated in his nomination statement, "There has been a MediaWiki upgrade. Bureaucrats don't just end RfAs anymore - now they handle Changing username as well! Apparently there can be seen a fair number of requests there now that have not yet been fulfilled. I think I could help out with that, and maybe do some RfAs when the other bureaucrats are busy." Though his RfB is not slated to end until 3 September, 2005, as of press time he was on track to be promoted, with the vast majority of votes cast supporting him.

Featured content
Following a week of record-breaking number of featured articles, ten articles were promoted to featured status: Montréal-Mirabel International Airport, The Jackson 5, Michael Thevis, Spyware, San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, Jean Schmidt, Ku Klux Klan, Columbine High School massacre, Augustan drama, and My Belarusy. In addition, History of South Carolina failed its third FAC attempt; even though it had been promoted, there was controversy and featured article director Raul654 decided to renominate the article. Finally, a contentious and controversial FAC began when GordonWattsDotCom nominated Terri Schiavo for FA status. The FAC for that is ongoing.

Two lists, List of Canadian provincial and territorial orders and List of Archbishops of Canterbury, reached featured lists status this week.

Three featured picture candidates were promoted this week: Map of Manila, Red fox with prey, and Prayer flag column.

Kenton Road

Kenton Road is a main road in the London Borough of Harrow and the London Borough of Brent. It lies in the areas of Harrow and Kenton.

Route and landmarks
Its eastern end is the border of Kenton in Middlesex and Kingsbury (in NW9) in London. Kenton Road is the A4006, apart from a short stretch west of Northwick Park roundabout, which is a small part of the A404. The road east of the Kenton Methodist Church originally followed the route of what is now Woodgrange Avenue and was a continuation of Kenton Lane before being upgraded, re-positioned and renamed in the early 20th century as an eastward extension of the original Kenton Road.

On the north side of the road, almost opposite Kenton station is the Traveller's Rest pub. Approximately 1/3 mi further along the A4006, also on the north side of the road, at the junction with St Leonard's Avenue, is the parish church of St Mary-the-Virgin, Kenton, built in 1935-1936 by the architect Harold Gibbons and a local firm of builders, Melsom & Rosier. Approximately 1 mi further on, on the south side of the Kenton Road is All Saints Catholic Church, built in 1963. About another 1/3 mi further on is the Greek Orthodox Church of St Panteleimon. Originally a mission church of the Church of England parish, it was acquired in recent years by the Greek community, which has replaced it with a traditional Greek Basilica complete with bronze dome (2011).

Raeburn Van Buren

Raeburn Van Buren (January 12, 1891 – December 29, 1987) was an American magazine and comic strip illustrator best known for his work on the syndicated Abbie an' Slats. He was familiarly known in the professional comics community as Ray Van Buren.

Biography
Born in Pueblo, Colorado, Van Buren, a descendant of US President Martin Van Buren, grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. At the Kansas City Star, he learned cartooning from comic strip artist Harry Wood. In 1913, Van Buren moved to New York, where he illustrated for Puck, Life and The Saturday Evening Post.

Van Buren served in the old Seventh Regiment (107th Infantry) of the 27th New York Empire Division in World War I. He was art editor of the division's magazine, Gas Attack. An artistry and illustrative flair were evident in his cartoons, and The New York Times compared his artwork in the magazine with that of the famous British illustrator Bruce Bairnsfather.

After military service, he drew cartoons for The Saturday Evening Post, The New Yorker and Esquire. As a freelance illustrator, he contributed to numerous magazines, including Collier's, Redbook and McCall's. He was a founder of the National Society of Magazine Illustrators.

His brother, Dick Van Buren, wrote the Tarzan comic strip for most of the 1950s, but never achieved the success that Raeburn enjoyed.

Abbie an' Slats
He began drawing Abbie an' Slats in 1937. The strip followed the experiences of a rural spinster raising her young cousin, a streetwise urban child. It was the idea of Al Capp, who intended to start a second strip to build upon the success of his popular Li'l Abner. Instead of drawing it himself, Capp recruited Van Buren. Initially, Van Buren turned him down, but he was soon lured by the prospect of steady work, as he had just had his first and only child with his wife, Fern. The strip was carried in 400 newspapers but did not equal the popularity of Li'l Abner. Capp abandoned the strip in 1945, turning the writing chores over to his brother, Elliot Caplin. Van Buren stayed on the strip, and it ended with his retirement in 1971.

Later life and death
Van Buren lived in Great Neck, Long Island. He died in 1987 at North Shore Community Hospital in Manhasset, Long Island, after suffering an injury in a fall. He was 96 years old.

Raeburn Van Buren and Abigail Van Buren
In 1984, When Van Buren sent a gift to "Dear Abby" columnist Abigail Van Buren (Pauline Phillips), she wrote back on November 30, 1984, thanking him and commenting on the name similarity:
 * Yes, I remember our meeting very well. I also recall that every once in a while we'd get our mail mixed up... I at one time (when I first began, I spelled my name "ABBIE"... Then it became even more confusing because of the VAN BUREN... remember?) Abbie and Slats... and the Van Buren. I selected my own name... so perhaps it was an unconscious choice, with you in mind all the while. Be well, Darling One... and stay well. And I hope to heaven you're dangerous!

Awards
With the Gold Key Award, he was honored in 1979 as a member of the National Cartoonists Society Hall of Fame. In 1958, he was named "Cartoonist of the Year" by the Quaker City Lodge of the B'nai B'rith in ceremonies at Philadelphia Pa. Previous winners were Al Capp, Milton Caniff, and George Wunder.

Books
Van Buren's wartime experiences are chronicled in the book Duty, Honor, Privilege: New York's Silk Stocking Regiment the Breaking of the Hindenburg Line by his grandnephew Stephen L. Harris. Beginning with Abbie an' Slats and Becky (Saalfield, 1940), his comic strip was collected in several books.

Dr. Rolf Potter Kennedy McPherson (March 23, 1913 – May 21, 2009) was the pastor of Angelus Temple and president of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, serving in that capacity from 1944 to 1988. By his retirement, the evangelical Pentecostal denomination had grown from 29,000 members in 410 churches to 1.2 million members in more than 19,000 churches located in 63 countries.

Personal background
Rolf McPherson was born on March 23, 1913, in Providence, Rhode Island. He was the son of Harold Stewart McPherson and Aimee Semple McPherson, founder of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. He was the half-brother of Roberta Star Semple, the daughter of Aimee and her first husband Robert James Semple, who had died of malaria one month before the birth of his daughter. Rolf and his sister Roberta were part of many services and revivals when young. McPherson attended college, first studying engineering. He switched to religion in 1930 after his mother became ill, and also completed divinity school, earning a doctorate.

McPherson began his career as a preacher. His mother groomed him to take over Foursquare after a management dispute resulted in Roberta being ousted from church leadership. After his mother's death in 1944, and for the next 44 years, McPherson led the denomination, headquartered at Angelus Temple, and brought it into the evangelical mainstream, which supported its tremendous development in the United States and expansion internationally.

He retired in 1988. After retirement, he continued to attend church every week, serving in congregational ministry. He resigned from all church duties in 1997. He died on May 21, 2009, at his home in Los Feliz at age 96, having been predeceased by his first wife, Lorna Dee Smith McPherson. His second wife and widow, Evangeline Otto Carmichael, was the ex-wife of composer Ralph Carmichael.

1891 Atlantic hurricane season

The 1891 Atlantic hurricane season began during the summer and ran through the late fall of 1891. The season had ten tropical cyclones. Seven of these became hurricanes; one becoming a major Category 3 hurricane.

Because there were no modern satellite or other remote-sensing technologies, only cyclones that affected populated land areas or that encountered ships at sea are currently known, so the true total could be higher. For the years 1886 through 1910, an undercount bias of zero to four tropical cyclones per year has been estimated.

The tracks of four of the ten cyclones were revised in 1996 by Jose Fernandez-Partagas. Following re-analysis in 2003, two storms previously considered distinct are now regarded as a single system, Tropical Storm 8. A number of other storms from 1891 were considered for inclusion in the Atlantic hurricane database, HURDAT, but are currently excluded due to a lack of evidence of tropical storm intensity.

Hurricane One
Ships reported a low-pressure area in the Gulf of Mexico northwest of Campeche beginning on July 3, which is believed to have been a tropical storm. The storm moved northwestward and reached hurricane status by the following day, several hours before peaking with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (150 km/h). Around 22:00 UTC on July 5, the hurricane made landfall near present-day Freeport, Texas. Upon the cyclone's landfall, the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project estimated that it had a barometric pressure of 977 mbar based on the pressure-wind relationship. The hurricane curved north-northeastward and quickly weakened to a tropical storm by early on July 6. Weakening to a tropical depression late on the following day, the system dissipated on July 8 near the Alabama-Mississippi-Tennessee state line.

In Texas, storm surge flooded sections of Galveston, while washing out some street car tracks and destroying part of the breakwater at the Beach Hotel. Winds and rain also left power outages in the city. Tornadoes spawned by the hurricane in Louisiana demolished one hundred homes in Baton Rouge and caused two floors of the state penitentiary to collapse, killing ten prisoners. Among the many other buildings damaged was the Louisiana Governor's Mansion, losing its roof and consequently being flooded. Another tornado was reported in Madison, Mississippi, destroying several buildings and downing many telegraph wires.

Hurricane Two
The official track for this storm begins on August 17 to the south of the Cabo Verde Islands, based on a path created by Charles Mitchell in 1924 and reconstructed by C. J. Neumann in 1993. Although the storm was not detected prior to August 26, it likely moved west-northwestward and intensified into a hurricane on August 19. The cyclone gradually shifted to a more northwestward motion over the next several days, and on August 27, it passed just under 80 mi east of Bermuda. Barometric pressures on the island fell to 997 mbar. This, as well as observations from the steamers Dunsmurry and La Touraine, led the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project to conclude that the storm did not intensity beyond a minimal hurricane with winds of 75 mph (120 km/h). Considered the worst cyclone to impact Bermuda since 1880, the hurricane downed brick walls, trees, and telegraph wires. Early on August 29, the storm became extratropical about 220 mi south-southeast of Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia.

Chenoweth proposed a tropical depression phase to the storm's earlier stages and a more southerly track, although the system instead turned northeastward after passing Bermuda and became extratropical near Newfoundland.

Hurricane Three
The Martinique Hurricane of 1891 or Hurricane San Magín of 1891

A Category 2 hurricane with winds of 105 mph (170 km/h) was first seen at mid-day on August 18 about 100 mi east of Barbados. The hurricane tracked northwestward and intensified into a major Category 3 hurricane. Late on August 18, the cyclone struck Martinique at its peak intensity with sustained winds of 125 mph (205 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 961 mbar. The storm weakened over the northeastern Caribbean and fell to Category 2 intensity early on August 20. Several hours later, the system turned northward and brushed the extreme eastern edge of the Dominican Republic with winds of 100 mph (155 km/h). Resuming its northwestward motion on August 21, the cyclone passed north of Grand Turk early the next day. The hurricane continued to weaken while traveling northwestward through the Bahamas and passed directly over Crooked Island. On August 23, a ridge of high pressure situated off the southeast coast of the United States prevented the storm, which had weakened to a Category 1 hurricane, from curving back to the north. Instead, the cyclone struck Florida near Homestead on August 24 and subsequently moved into the Gulf of Mexico, where it dissipated on August 25.

On Martinique, the storm destroyed houses, crops, and trees across the entire island. Fifty boats in harbors around Martinique were damaged or destroyed. At Ducos, only four homes remained following the storm, and at St. Pierre, at least 34 people lost their lives. At Fort de France, twenty people were killed. A military camp at Balata was destroyed, with a number of soldiers there sustaining injuries from airborne debris. Property damage across the island reached approximately $10 million. In total, the hurricane killed approximately 700 people on Martinique. Puerto Rico observed heavy rainfall and hurricane-force wind gusts. The Humacao River overflowed, inundating the city. Waterways between Cabo Rojo and Hormigueros also exceeded their banks, flooding many low-lying areas and sweeping animals away. The steamship Ozama reported hundreds of downed fruit trees and numerous damaged homes in the Dominican Republic. The storm drowned three people on Grand Turk and damaged some small homes and vessels. In South Florida, the cyclone also produced hurricane-force winds that blew boats ashore near present-day Cutler.

Hurricane Four
On September 2 a tropical storm formed northeast of the Leeward Islands. It began moving northwestward and reached category 2 hurricane strength by September 4. By September 7 the cyclone was off the coast of New England and was bringing heavy rain to that area. When the hurricane made landfall in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland on September 8, it destroyed a number of small vessels but then quickly weakened and dissipated north of Newfoundland in the Labrador Sea on September 10.

In Nova Scotia, the storm was compared to a hurricane in 1873. Observed sustained winds reached 60 mph, causing "great destruction to crops, shipping, and buildings", according to The Huddersfield Daily Chronicle. Damage to fruit crops totaled nearly $58,000. The storm also partially destroyed a drain elevator and several small bridges, while about two-thirds of a larger railroad bridge linking Halifax and Dartmouth collapsed, causing more than $50,000 in damage. Rough seas beached a few schooners and several Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron vessels in the Halifax area, while hundreds of other small watercraft suffered some degree of damage. Farther east, several other vessels wrecked at Cape Breton Island.

Hurricane Five
On September 16, the track for this storm begins near 19°N 47°W, over the open Atlantic well east of the Leeward Islands, based on a path constructed by Charles Mitchell in 1924. Moving northwestward, the cyclone became a hurricane on September 19. Between late on September 21 and early on September 22, the hurricane passed about 45 mi (75 km) east of Bermuda. A barometric pressure of 980 mbar was observed on the island, leading the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project to estimate that the storm peaked as a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 mph (155 km/h). On Bermuda, the storm severely damaged trees and telephone and telegraph wires, while a ship sank along the coast. Later on September 22, the cyclone turned northeastward and then eastward by September 25, remaining well offshore any other landmasses. Early the next day, the system weakened to a tropical storm, several hours before becoming extratropical about 560 mi west of Flores Island in the Azores.

Chenoweth began the storm slightly earlier, on September 15, and concluded that the cyclone became a hurricane late on September 16, but proposed few other changes.

Hurricane Six
A tropical storm formed in the open Atlantic near 21°N 54°W on 29 September. It moved northwestward becoming first a Category 1 hurricane then, on October 3, a Category 2 hurricane. At this strength it passed to the south then to the west of Bermuda on October 4. It quickly weakened as it continued heading north and was already an extratropical storm when it made landfall in Nova Scotia on October 6. It also struck Newfoundland before dissipating in the Labrador Sea on October 8.

Tropical Storm Seven
A moderate tropical storm formed in the Caribbean Sea south of Jamaica on October 4 and passed to the west of both Jamaica and the Cayman Islands before striking the Isla de la Juventud and Cuba on October 6. The next day it passed across southern Florida before travelling northeastward off the east coast of the United States and then dissipating in the open Atlantic on October 8. The storm drove some vessels on the coast of Cuba ashore, and two people drowned in flooding on the island. Climate researcher Michael Chenoweth proposed the removal of this storm from HURDAT, concluding that "bad data" led to its inclusion into the database and that the cyclone was actually part of the eighth storm.

Tropical Storm Eight
A tropical depression formed north of Honduras on October 7 and strengthened into a tropical storm the next day. On October 9 it passed across Cuba and quickly weakened to become an extratropical storm. It made landfall in Florida on October 10 and, five days later, in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland where it dissipated.

Hurricane Nine
A tropical storm formed north of Grenada on October 12 and made landfall on Saint Croix and the main Virgin Islands on October 14. The system strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane as it proceeded north. The hurricane's storm centre passed west of Bermuda on October 18 but weakened to a tropical storm just before reaching the southern tip of Newfoundland on October 20.

Tropical Storm Ten
On November 3, a tropical storm formed northeast of present-day Nassau, Bahamas. It travelled north, passing east of Bermuda on November 5. The storm never made landfall before dissipating in the open Atlantic off of Nova Scotia on 6 November.

Talk:Nyquist plot

The dreaded cleanup
G'day, I placed the cleanup tag on this article because it is so close to being polished it seems to be a shame to leave it even just a little bit imperfect. I random articled here and read through with great interest because it is my field of work. A few things to fix up are: Please understand that it is because I think the article is good that I want to "clean it up" so no one else will ever have cause to again. It was fluke that I made it here tonight, so we'll continue on Monday? Flehmen Work with me 01:25, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * (perhaps) the order of the paragraphs
 * the flow of the article(It reads as a series of sentances/ideas strung together)
 * Add a diagram of the Nyquist plot

Need image

 * Done (as well as for Nichols plot). Engelec 19:06, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Should probably include more than one. Explain that this one shows an instability while this other one does not, etc. — Omegatron 23:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I second the motion. Please offer pictures of a 'good' and a 'bad' case.
 * This article seems to cry out for a few more sentences of explanation. If this isn't possible, could a link be added to a complete description of how to use a Nyquist plot? It would be OK to presuppose some knowledge of complex variables. EdJohnston 16:07, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Is Nyquist plot the same as Cole-Cole?
I think they are and the article should mention Cole-Cole. Physicsjock (talk) 23:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

 * No, they are different projections of the same data, according to http://www.nonmet.mat.ethz.ch/education/courses/ceramic2/EIS.ppt A mention (and comparison) in this article might still be useful though.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.150.147.133 (talk) 14:23, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think they are two words for the same thing and found several sources that say that; here is one: https://electrochemistryresources.com/tag/impedance-data. Here is another one: https://www.hioki.com/global/learning/electricity/nyquist.html. That link of yours doesn't work, by the way. Do you have another source for the claim that they are different? Johncolton (talk) 19:38, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Method for creating Nyquist plot
A similar problem to other articles in controls, the article currently explains what the Nyquist plot is capable of but does not demonstrate how to (1) create the Nyquist plot or (2) actually do the analysis; thereby, making the article a nice abstract, but not a helpful page for those wanting to learn about Nyquist plots. The analysis is covered in "Nyquist stability criterion" but the creation of the plot is nowhere to be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.121.201.254 (talk) 19:58, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

loop gain?
"Nyquist plot of the open-loop system"

This is the loop gain, right? — Omegatron (talk) 03:53, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Merge with Nyquist stability criterion
Merge with Nyquist stability criterion has been suggested via a hatnote in 2016. I think this is a good idea. Concretely, it seems to make sense to merge this article into the other, since it is only instrumental for the criterion. Are there any objections? — Sebastian 14:31, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Support; merge to Nyquist stability criterion seems like the correct direction too; even if the plot can be used for other purposes, it is clear that the primary purpose is to check for stability. Klbrain (talk) 13:51, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Glebe, West Virginia

Glebe was an unincorporated community in Hampshire County, West Virginia, United States. It is situated at the lower mouth of the Trough, a gorge of the South Branch Potomac River, and is about 9.5 miles (15.3 km) southwest of Romney on South Branch River Road (West Virginia Secondary Route 8). The community received its name from the old stone glebehouse (parsonage) that was constructed there in the late 18th century. The stone house later became the Hampshire County Poor Farm and remains standing. The community of Sector lies directly across the river.

While Glebe no longer has a post office, and only a few residents remain there, it is still a popular spot for canoers and fishermen because of its proximity to the Trough's mouth. For vacationers, sportsmen, and locals alike, Glebe's Trough General Store supplies canoe rentals, fishing supplies, bait, drinks, snacks, and ice.

Historic sites

 * Fort Van Meter, approximately one mile from Glebe
 * Old Stone Glebehouse (County Poor Farm), South Branch River Road (CR 8)
 * Saint Luke's Presbyterian Chapel, South Branch River Road (CR 8)

Recognition of Kosovo by TRNC
I tagged the section containing the info on TRNC of Kosovo. The basic question is : has it really happend ? The only source I can find (and which is the one given in the article) is a rather spurious newspaper controlled by the government of break-away Transdniestr Republic. Up to now I haven't found a single Cypriot (north or south) source confirming this. The only thing I could find is the statement by Talat welcoming the declaration of independnace, which however carefully avoids the word "recognition". Trncinfo has nothing further either. So I very much doubt that the recognition ever took place. But maybe someone can provide a Turkish-Cypriot (or other similarly reliable) source for this ??

Travelbird (talk) 22:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

 * http://www.kktcb.eu/index.php?tpl=show_news&id=236
 * The head of the TRNC offered that statement including "The will of the people of Kosovo should be respected and the new state should be assisted." A pretty clear recognition of Kosovo's independence with the words "new state." TheWoody (talk) 01:29, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

 * That exactly is the problem. Diplomatic recognition is a well established process, by which one country's head of state writes a letter to another recognizing that country's independance. Verbal statemants to well-whishing and support are not official diplomatic recognition. E.g. the US issues statements of support for Taiwan all the time, yet Taiwan is not recognized by the US as a country. Many European countries have welcomed Kosovo indpendance, but have not yet completed the actual act of recognition.
 * So unless someone can find a source stating either a) Talat has actually sent a letter of recognition to the president of Kosovo or b) an official TRNC government site or publication lists Kosovo as a country in a list among other countries, I am going to remove the statement from the article again, as most probabably the official recognition has not (yet ?) taken place. Travelbird (talk) 14:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

 * http://www.hri.org/news/cyprus/tcpr/2008/08-02-20.tcpr.html#01
 * Now I agree with you, the statement was released that TRNC would not be officially recognizing Kosovo and that the president's comments are simply that, comments. Good catch TheWoody (talk) 19:10, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

 * The comments should still be noted in the article. The TRNC has not recognized Kosovo but the TRNC president's comments do establish a sort of informal position on this controversial issue. 141.166.230.9 (talk) 05:21, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind my earlier comment; I must have overlooked it earlier, I see his comments are already noted in the article. 141.166.230.9 (talk) 05:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Lists not encyclopedic
Is there any reason why a complete listing of offices, including address, telephone numbers and fax numbers, should be here? It certainly isn't encyclopedic, and we're not a directory (or a phone book, for that matter).  AK Radecki Speaketh  04:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

 * There are some people who are trying to show low number of TRNC representatives. Phone and fax numbers arew given for proof of the existence of such representatives. There are 3 more representatives that opened but Greek Cypriot wiki user deletes them as you may know. Also, the phone and fax numbers make it easy to communicate with them.

 * "Greek Cypriot" is a designation of an ethnic group of the island. It does not mean to signify that the island is Greek, just like the words "Turkish Cypriot" do not contain a claim that the island is Turkish. Since this seems to be your only POV problem, I am removing the tag as the rest of the article seems to be fairly balanced and factual. If you have any specific objections, just post them here.

States with limited recognition (proposed change)
The TRNC is a state with limited recognition, according to the relevant WP article: States with limited recognition. However, the first sentence of the present article defines the TRNC as (having an) "unrecognized status internationally". This is conflictive. Therefore I am intending to make a change in that sentence using the "limited recognition" element instead of the words "unrecognized status" to make a better introduction to the article. This edition would be a simple "correction" of the actual wrong. All the same I do not want to do it without a consensus, so write your opinions here about the change I am prepared to make. --E4024 (talk) 11:44, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I changed it to read "partially recognized status internationally", this is an accurate statement. (WP:BRD). Outback the koala (talk) 14:17, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, you saved me from "having to" search consensus for installing a simple fact. Would you mind giving another helping hand at correcting "(The TRNC) is dependent on Turkey to facilitate its contacts with the international community." The OIC or TÜRKSOY are not international organisations? The TRNC has no difficulty in contacting the many members of those international organisations as well as several other countries; but of course not all of the international community, for example Greece. As there have been so many intercommunal talks and they share a common border, it would not be an exaggeration to assert that the TRNC -although not easily- also carries out some contacts with the RoC. So that sentence is also partially wrong and should be corrected. One should have ANZAC courage to touch these issues; I don't. --E4024 (talk) 16:34, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

 * No problem. Although TRNC is dependent on Turkey for many, but not all, contacts. If we said "...is dependent on Turkey to facilitate many of its contacts with the international community." would that be acceptable? This would make the statement more accurate. International organisations are a good point, but the TRNC still does not have direct, permanent, open contact with all the states in those international organisations. Outback the koala (talk) 19:43, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the effort. Frankly I do not think that the TRNC is so dependent on Turkey in this area. I would prefer a loose reference to difficulties in relationing especially with Europe due to lack of recognition and also the not keeping of the promise made by the European Council in the time of accepting RoC to open up cultural, economic, sports etc (in short everything short of political recognition) relations with the TRNC due to RoC blockage. Let us better leave Turkey alone... --E4024 (talk) 20:05, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Misleading map
IP User 88.25.60.137 is insisting in keep a map of foreign diplomatic relations in the TRNC. This map is highly misleading because does not explain that British and US embassies in Northern Nicosa have nothing to do with the actual recognition of the TRNC by those respective countries. In case he/she insists in the revert I will ask to protect the page. --Silvio1973 (talk) 12:58, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The map clearly separates the blue from the green (recognition). That said, it doesn't seem an entirely useful map. CMD (talk) 12:38, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Putin's statement
According to the source: If we leave out the context that Putin thinks that Kosovo's independence is immoral and illegal and that he thinks that Kosovo's case is identical to that of Northern Cyprus, then Putin sounds as if he is advocating for the recognition of both. This is misleading to the readers of the article and distorts his actual comments by making him sound like an advocate of TRNC, although he is anything but. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  16:33, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * It is true indeed that rhetorical questions are hard to convey without context. However, I still think citing exact words for Kosovo is by the by with regards to this article. I've reworded it to focus more on Northern Cyprus. Does this address the issue? Russia's current position, as far as I'm aware, is to end Northern Cyprus' economic isolation and encourage it back into a federation with the South. CMD (talk) 17:10, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you CMD. I agree with your comments and also largely agree with your edit but I added the clarification that Putin opposes Kosovo's declaration. I hope this is ok with you. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  17:26, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

The Representation of Turkish Cypriots in Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe PACE
The added text (please, do not make any edit in this part): In 1986, the assembly of the Council of Europe decided to suspend the credentials of the Greek Cypriot Members of Parliament as representatives of Cyprus, thereby being the first international body to question the legitimacy of representation by Greek Cypriots only for the island of Cyprus in international affairs. In PACE, since 1997, the Greek Cypriots are represented by the Greek Cypriots chosen in the assembly of Cyprus, and the Turkish Cypriots are represented by the Turkish Cypriots chosen in the assembly of Northern Cyprus.

Turkish Cypriot representative at PACE refers to the issue of football on the island: Turkish Cypriot daily Havadis newspaper (04.12.13) reports that Mehmet Caglar, “MP’ with the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) and head of the so-called assembly’s delegation at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) attended the first meeting of PACE’s Committee on Culture, Education, Science and Media yesterday in Paris. 04.12.2013: CTP Mehmet Caglar. 2. http://www.yigor-property.com/news/7/ Turkish Cypriots reacted positively to the decision taken in October 2004, the PACE Bureau decision that allows two people of Turkish Cypriot representatives to participate in all of PACE, including address plenary meetings of the Assembly. In accordance with this decision, members of the Majlis (parliament) of the TRNC for the first time attended the January 2005 session of PACE. In 2004, the heads of Turkish Cypriot municipalities participated in the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of Europe. 3. http://todayszaman.com/news-15928-turkish-cypriots-attend-pace-meeting.html Turkish Cypriots Attend PACE Meeting.

The Assembly voted for examining their credentials; they did not suspend the Cypriot delegation: PACE did not suspend the credentials of the Greek Cypriot Members of Parliament as representatives of Greek Cypriot community of Cyprus. PACE suspended the credentials of the Greek Cypriot Members of Parliament as representatives of whole people of (Greek Cypriot community+Turkish Cypriot community) Cyprus. In PACE, since 1997, the Greek Cypriots are represented by the Greek Cypriots chosen in the assembly of Cyprus, and the Turkish Cypriots are represented by the Turkish Cypriots chosen in the assembly of Northern Cyprus. Cyprus hadn't been in the Assembly from 1964 till 1983: This is nothing to do with PACE's 1986 and 1997 decisions.Alexyflemming (talk) 18:37, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Notice: 1. The Cyprus delegation in table: (3 Representatives+3 Substitutes(since 1961)): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_Assembly_of_the_Council_of_Europe#Composition_by_parliamentary_delegation (Representation of) Cyprus Delegation in PACE consists of 3 Reps + 3 Subs in which "1 Rep + 1 Sub" is unfilled (vacated). (Representation of) Turkish Cypriot Community in PACE consists of 2 Reps (No Subs.). All of which filled.

2. Reps of TCC were not put in C delegation. This is the PACE practice based on PACE resolutions. Observe: http://www.assembly.coe.int/nw/xml/AssemblyList/AL-XML2HTML-EN.asp?lang=en&XmlID=NationalDelegation-cy "Cyprus 3 representatives / représentants - - 3 substitutes / suppléants" includes vacated "ZZ...(Member Representative)" and vacated "ZZ...(Member Substitute)". The names of 2 TCC representatives are not included in this 3Reps/3Subs Cyprus Delegation table, and vacated 1Rep/1Sub is not filled with these 2 TCC representatives.

When one includes TCC representatives in C delagation, C delagation becomes "3Reps+3Subs"+"2Reps"="5Reps+3Subs" which is not the case for Cyprus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_Assembly_of_the_Council_of_Europe#Composition_by_parliamentary_delegation The Rep. of Cyprus is allowed only "3Reps+3Subs" since 1961 Res. That is to say, since, Northern Cyprus is not recognized, it is representatives are put into C page, but not included in C delegation.Alexyflemming (talk) 15:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The source you've provided says, 'Turkish Cypriot deputies are attending PACE sessions as "representatives of the Turkish Cypriot community" in the "Cyprus" delegation.' — Lfdder (talk) 15:15, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In Turkish, the equivalent of word "Cyprus" ("Kıbrıs") can be used both as Noun (The "Country" of Cyprus; "Kıbrıs" in Turkish) and Adjective (Cypriot; "Kıbrıslı" in Turkish). That is to say, "Cypriot" has 2 meanings:1.Related to the government of Cyprus 2. Related to the people of Cyprus island. Example:"Turkish CYPRIOT" is "KIBRIS Türkü". The translation from Turkish to English is little bit bothersome. I will give 1986 PACE Resolution to clarify the situation. Note that the picture in the link is 2 Turkish Cypriot representatives; There is no Substitute among them. Alexyflemming (talk) 18:34, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * "The Turkish Cypriot representation at PACE does not imply any political recognition for the KKTC. Turkish Cypriot deputies are attending PACE sessions as "representatives of the Turkish Cypriot community" in the "Cyprus" delegation." Shouldn't be that difficult to understand? Hardly a translation error in a Turkish newspaper. --T*U (talk) 23:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Nobody claims KKTC has been officially recognized (some sort of official status) by PACE. Turkish Cypriot deputies are attending PACE sessions as "representatives of the Turkish Cypriot community" in the "Cypriot (People, Island) delegation", not "Cyprus"(Country RoC) delegation See below.Alexyflemming (talk) 08:34, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Not true! The Zaman source you yourself provided says 'in the "Cyprus" delegation', not 'Cypriot'. --T*U (talk) 09:40, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * "Cyprus" as island, not as a country (RoC). The island was called "Cyprus" before "Rep. of Cyprus (1960)" as well.Alexyflemming (talk) 19:58, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Without doubt, but at that time Cyprus was not a member. The Council of Europe has member states, not member islands. --T*U (talk) 20:21, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree completely with you T*U. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  20:38, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Pigeon Hole Principle: if there is 4 holes and 5 pigeons, then exactly at least 1 pigeon becomes unnested. Rep. of Cyprus is allowed only 3Reps3Subs in the PACE (which is shown in the PACE official website) since 1961. On the other hand, currently, there are 5Reps3Subs from Cyprus (Click Note at the bottom). Hence, definitely, the "Cyprus" of 5Reps3Subs is not the same as the "Cyprus" of 3Reps3Subs, the latter is definitely the Rep. of Cyprus whereas the former not. This "unnnestedness" is explained clearly by James Ker-Lindsay's book; James Ker-Lindsay (UN Former Special Representative for Cyprus); "The Foreign Policy of Counter Secession: Preventing the Recognition of Contested States;p.149"
 * Turkish Cypriot Community was awarded observer status in the PACE.(98) This was a highly important symbolic victory. After the OIC, this was only the second major international organization to grant them some sort of official status.
 * http://books.google.com.tr/books?id=4PwmeRG9QsUC
 * The Council of Europe has "observer communities" besides "member states". The observer communities in PACE are not necessarily subordinate to "member states" . Notice, PACE's position is exactly reflects the current situation in the Cyprus island. 2Reps of Turkish Cypriot Community are not put into 3Reps3Subs Table of Rep. of Cyprus (1Rep1Sub of which are vacated by Rep. of Cyprus). Notice there are 56MPs+24MPs(vacated for TCC) in the Assembly of Rep.of Cyprus. If PACE had put TCC's 2Reps to the vacated 1Rep1Sub position of 3Reps3Subs(Vacated:1Rep1Sub) Table of Rep. of Cyprus, then your sentence would have been meaningful.

 * Note that Rep. of Cyprus do not recognize both "Northern Cyprus" and "The Assembly of Northern Cyprus". On the other hand, 2 Reps of Turkish Cypriot Community of PACE are elected in the Assembly of "Northern Cyprus".Alexyflemming (talk) 07:39, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Nowhere in the PACE web site do you find mention of "observer communities" or "observer community" (both these searches give 0 results)). As for the addition game (and pigeon holes): 6-2+2=6. Please stop the synthesis, OR and fiction now. --T*U (talk) 09:25, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

References to indicate the Difference between "Cyprus(RoC)" and "Cyprus (island)"
Food For Brain: When "Ireland" is used, generally the "ISLAND" comes into mind:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland (The island of Ireland ). For Country:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland (The country of Ireland)

When "Cyprus" is used, generally (but wrongly) the "COUNTRY" comes into mind (This is especially because, Cyprus has a big political context; See Cyprus dispute for example. But even in the political context, sending all citations of "Cyprus, Cypriot" to the country "Cyprus" is wrong):https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus Hence, the meaning of the word "Cypriot" (whether belongs to the "Country", or "people, island") depends on the context it is used (especially for this wrong titled English Wiki. In all common languages, such an error was not made. See French, German Wikipedia for example. Even the "Simple English" Wiki does not have such error.). The words "Cyprus/Cypriots" was being used before Rep.of Cyprus founded in 1960.

PACE Resolutions: PACE Res. 2004-1376: http://assembly.coe.int/Main.asp?link=/Documents/AdoptedText/ta04/ERES1376.htm 6.The Assembly therefore decides to associate more closely elected representatives of the Turkish Cypriot community in the work of the Parliamentary Assembly and its committees, beyond the framework of Assembly Resolution 1113 (1997) on the situation in Cyprus and integrate them into the Cypriot delegation. Notice: Here, the word "Cypriot" refers to people rather than country.

PACE Res. 1997-1113: http://www.assembly.coe.int//Main.asp?link=http://www.assembly.coe.int/Documents/AdoptedText/TA97/ERES1113.HTM 10.Cyprus is entitled to 3 Representatives (and 3 Substitutes) in the Parliamentary Assembly, 2 of which are to be Greek Cypriots and 1 a Turkish Cypriot. At present, only 1 seat (and the place of 1 Substitute) is filled, by a Greek Cypriot Representative (and a Greek Cypriot Substitute).

Delegation of People of Cyprus (GCC+TCC):"(3Reps+3Subs(vacant:1Rep1Sub))+(2Reps+0Subs)" (Here "Cyprus" is more of island not the country RoC) Delegation of Country of Cyprus:"(3Reps+3Subs(vacant:1Rep1Sub))" (Here "Cyprus" is exactly the country RoC)

 * Yes, a brilliant example of original research and synthesis, but what is your point? By the way: What would be the point of stressing the difference between observer and substitute observer? Would only one be allowed to observe at the same time? --T*U (talk) 09:44, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Foreign Minister
The article states that the foreign minister is Özdil Nami. However, Mr Nami has resigned from this post to assume his new task as the chief negotiator to the TRNC President Mr. Akıncı. Currently the foreign minister post is vacant pending the formation of the new government after the election of Mr. Talat as the new leader of CTP. Therefore I am changing this part of the article to state the current state of play. Wikiturk (talk) 07:32, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Isn't it also recognized by...
According to the primary article regarding Northern Cyprus, it says that The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic also recognizes Northern Cyprus. Should we edit this article's intro to reflect that? Currently it says only Turkey recognizes it. Lord David, Duke of Glencoe (talk) 02:09, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Cyprus
Wikipedia refers to the north of Cyprus- which has been illegally occupied by the Turkish Army since 1974- as Northern Cyprus.No such place exists.Please refer to the UN and International resolutions which demand the withdrawal of Turkish troops and do not recognise the so called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus". Please amend your wiki pages to reflect that there is no such territory as Northern Cyprus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.191.34.80 (talk) 16:02, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Crete/to do

 * 1) The factors which actually contributed to a German Victory despite allied superiority of nearly 2-1 need to be included.
 * 2) More info on the naval fighting
 * 3)  Details on the Italian forces that joined the Germans late in the battle
 * 4) Info on Italian casualties in both naval and ground forces
 * 5) More info on Greek participation, including casualties.  Even the official Hellenic Army History doesn't have as much information as anticipated; possibly because of the confused situation at the time.
 * 6) Info on the post-battle resistance on Crete.  This may take the form of a separate article.  Also, information on what the occupation was like for the average Cretan.
 * 7) Creation of better maps.  I don't think I quite have the knack for this.
 * 8) More illustrations of the fighting, as well as the more mundane aspects of the campaign.  A lot of good photos are available online, but they mostly seem to be owned by the Imperial War Museum or its New Zealand equivalent. I looked at their image use policies and it seems like they might not mesh with Wikipedia's.  There are some good photos in some of the Greek and English reference works, but there are doubtless copyright issues there as well.
 * 9)  Get the Balkans Campaign onto the battlebox.
 * 10) The Escape of the King
 * 11) Canaris's Intelligence
 * 12) Fix reference links none of the ref templates point to note templates and none of the note templates in the notes section have corresponding ref templates. The names need to be matched up.
