Cambridge United Player Profiles
Hi CU4ever. Just to say, I appreciate you're working hard on Cambridge United player articles. But just to inform you, any player that hasn't played in League Two or higher fails WP:BIO and will eventually get deleted. Just thought you ought to know. Cheers, HornetMike 23:14, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Cheers for the info, although I have voiced my thoughts on this before. In my opinion, professional sportsman playing for a professional club in a 90% professional league are worthy of a biography according to WP:BIO, especially when they are the subject of international honours and substantiated interest from higher division clubs. A distinction between such a player and, say, a League Two scholar with a handful of first team appearances (who would apparently be worthy of a Wikipedia biography) is arbitrary and, more importantly, valueless to the Wikipedia project. Such a situation is only exasperated when articles nominated for deletion are fully sourced, complete profiles while the multitude of apparently eligible biographies on Wikipedia that are stubs, or pages for inter-club rivalries to be expressed, are ignored.

Image source problem with Image:Abbey aid.JPG
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Abbey aid.JPG. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Keynsham Town.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Keynsham Town.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use.

Fair use rationale for Image:Cen_logo.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Cen_logo.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Johnny Hon

A tag has been placed on Johnny Hon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Drmies (talk) 03:45, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

May 2018
Hello, CU4ever. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but Johnny Hon has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS.

Identifying blatant advertising contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click User:Dlohcierekim/promo. These are just rough guides. Pages can avoid all those pitfalls and still be glaringly obvious ad copy. Sometimes pages meeting WP:CSD give the appearance of an editor violating Conflict of interest or WP:PAID. Please read and heed them if they apply to you. Please read FAQ/Organizations.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are  unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. '''That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. ''' Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there.

If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.

You may find this tool useful: Google custom search Don't feel discouraged. My first attempts at creating articles were deleted too.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedians for encyclopedic merit/offensive material rating system

It appears very difficult to draw the line between academic study of pornography without appearing to advocate propaganda for the industry. The articles should remain as neutral as possible, especially on a medium where the average individual or company can add propaganda at will to the articles, especially via related links sections.

Since the growth of Wikipedia popularity recently, we see more and more complaints by various users who find that the content of many articles promote agendas rather than provide academic information only, or that the articles are of an offensive nature, which must be avoided.

If wikipedia has to be considered a serious encyclopedia, its academic position should remain clear and obvious. This is not an easy task.

The idea about adding pornographic pictures, for instance, might or might not be a good idea at current time; but it would definitely be acceptable if there was a proper rating system with defaults set at the highest censor level.

Since this is a worldwide project, which is accessible from anywhere on the planet, by people of varying backgrounds and countries, it is imperative that a proper system be worked on. Saying that rating all type of content which is known to be controversial or morally offending to some is an incentive to restrict liberty is false, considering that any type of material could be documented properly and consequently rated. It becomes up to the user to decide which content is appropriate for viewing. Restricting the possible censor categories to an already in use system for the video industry in a particular country would seem inappropriate, unless the audience was expected to only consist of people of that same region, and that only that particular type of content was available. One cannot advertize and preach a certain view of the world expressed in a particular country to the world, and this is even true among several generations of the same people of the same background. Thus, a censor system would need to properly be implemented and to allow to block many type of offending content.

The following is only a suggestion (Request For Comments), of things to consider. An international commity could enhance and or rework the system, and define the appropriate censor levels for each category. This also implies that every article would need to be rated in every chosen area for which restrictions are possible. Although partially off-topic on this article, it is recommended for people who find such a proposal reasonable to possibly move this into its own article and link it as appropriate, contact mediawiki developers as required, etc.

Obviously, for each category the default would be to censor at the highest level. To avoid the need for users to register in order to modify their preferences, a permanent HTTP cookie could also be used and stored on the client-side to remember the user settings without clobbering the server's storage area.

This means that articles, as well as every linked object such as media content should independently be rated in each category.

The required software technology to achieve such a system is trivial to write, there is nothing challenging about it. Remains to see if Wikipedia aims to reach, and keep, a worldwide audience, and to eventually adapt itself to this growing public environment to cope against being banned by certain groups.

Another aspect would be weither to keep all settings at the topmost censor level depending on certain types of User-Agent, i.e. it might be desirable to allow search engines to index content which would normally be censored by other HTTP clients for which no settings were saved yet.

Hi back,

French user, active in Wikipédia with accent, developed a bad habit to breed Avatars which I don't call personally sock puppets ; since they don't behave the troll way (voting where they shouldn't etc... - you know the kinda folks). This personal tendency existed previously to the era of Wikis. Purpose is to flee any loud WHAT DID YOU DO THERE IT'S A SHAME I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN behaviors, as I beholded.

So this theatrical ID pretended to be a barbaric woman from Early Middle Ages, from gothic roots and german speaking, and stereotypic feminity as we may think today (brutal manners), rising in FR environment to fight against the habit we, the French, had to describe any germanic people (lest the Franks, uh ?) to be barbarians that handle the responsibility of :
 * 1) the fall of Rome + breaking latin unity in Western Europe.
 * 2) the invasion of France (1870) [led to a new Empire in Germania]
 * 3) the other invasion of northern France (1914) [countered]
 * 4) yet another invasion of France ( YAIOF, pretty not Yahoo! : 1940) [well, you know]

Reality is a formerly achieved fluency in English, poorly used, a scholar 4 years in German practically lost (this is a state of barbary from my own memory !) and a recent Spanish language self learned from scratch to a pretty good level, which left me with a thirst of culture. Gothic influence & Islamic sciences were passed to Europe from that peninsula, this is not minor, but it is easily forgotten due to current world oppositions. Anyhow WP project started after 9/11, so any POV concerning those subjects could hardly be set apart from it, good or bad.

Success is at hand since nowadays pupils from France and Germany are taught the Völkerwanderung a much more neutral way than the ways adults were taught (teacher opening this day's lesson as : THE BARBARIC INVASIONS). Results are a (well, I guess)-balanced article about revanchism, go-to-war ideology that motivated this way of teaching history since (#2 event above) came on both sides of the Rhine. A Wikiproject FR is up and running to get rid of any misuse of Barbarians in our [ [ History of... / by area ] ] articles.

I guess next generation of younglings in Wikipedia will be ready to express themselves about the 5thCE period of time, should adults shut up.

In fact, hatred made the English in WWII (Blitz : justified) name the enemy the same way, refering to Huns to relate the violence of Attila to the one of the Wehrmacht - part of a war of ideas that doubles the battlefield each time. However, this is not my main focus. France and Germany slowly learnt from their history to cope together in peace, that's the real benefit.

Last-but-not-least article is in Commons with that synthetis page : Maps showing the history of the Early Middle Ages. Please read along and help improve the fluency of my English in that page.

| An awesome essay
Current reading is an awesome book about the quest of the Goths from Scandinavian shores to Dacia, passing by Italy to nest in the Wisigothic kingdom of Hispania. the author, a French woman that teaches at prestigious "La Sorbonne", writes without any B-a-r-b-a-r-i-a-n-s word in her text, or at least unjustified uses. This book kills any remnants of stereotypic or ideologic views surrounding. The first experience of Vassality in the territory of Francia in first formation at that time comes from the gothic society (an example of a germanic civilization, Northern Europe til 3thCE before it was heavily changed at the contact of Latin culture.) that settled its germanic habits & rights as a new power structure in their node kingdom of Gallia Aquitania, recalled Gothia Aquitanica momentarily. I liked reading it, though any attempt to sum up its content would reduce the quality of what it brings in itself...

 * Behave ! I revealed my nature and motives there. Quite a show, I don't have that kind of habit back home...

 * [Back to the burden]

Jaunting car

A jaunting car is a light two-wheeled carriage for a single horse, with a seat in front for the driver. In its most common form with seats for two or four persons placed back to back, with the foot-boards projecting over the wheels and the typical conveyance for persons in Ireland at one time (outside jaunting car). Also with passenger seats facing each other (inside jaunting car).

The first part of the term is generally taken to be identical with the verb to jaunt, now only used in the sense of to go on a short pleasure excursion, but in its earliest uses meaning to make a horse caracole or prance, hence to jolt or bump up and down. It would apparently be a variant of "jaunce", of the same meaning, which is supposed to be taken from old French jancer.

Ireland

In rural Ireland it was adapted for public transport by the Anglo-Irish entrepreneur Charles Bianconi in 1815. It was also a popular mode of transport in 19th-century Dublin, popularised by Valentine Vousden in a song by that name. Jaunting cars remain in use for tourists in some parts of the country, notably Killarney in County Kerry where tours of the lakes and national park are popular.

The colloquial name for the Irish driver of a jaunting car was "jarvey", used in the song "The Jarvey Was a Leprechaun" by Val Doonican. Percy French edited a weekly comic magazine called The Jarvey from January 1889-January 1891 based on the adventures of a driver of The Irish Jaunting Car and published by Richard J. Mecredy who was also publisher and editor of highly successful Irish Cyclist. The Jarvey was a highly literary and lavishly illustrated weekly comic paper, considered to have been the best comic paper of the 19th and 20th century in Ireland. French also wrote his own version of the song 'The Irish Jaunting Car' for his comic opera 'The Knight of the Road.' (1891)

Elsewhere
When William Wordsworth toured Scotland in 1803 with his sister Dorothy and friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Coleridge procured an Irish jaunting car for the journey from a friend in Somerset, England. Managing the horse and car proved difficult for Wordsworth, who had appointed himself as the driver.

Types
There were two main varieties of jaunting car: the "outside jaunting car", or "outside car", the more common type described above, in which the passengers faced outward over the wheels, and the "inside jaunting car", or "inside car", considered to be more "genteel", in which the passengers sat with their backs to the sides of the car and faced each other. Anthony Trollope described the "inside jaunting-car" as "perhaps the most uncomfortable kind of vehicle yet invented."

A third variety, the "covered car", was an inside car with oiled canvas arranged on all sides to protect the passengers from the weather, at the expense of visibility.

Taxation
In the early 1800s, the British government levied a tax on every "jaunting car or pleasure car" (1813 Act of Parliament, 53 Geo. 3. c. 59).

In film
This form of vehicle also featured in the 1952 movie The Quiet Man, particularly to comedic effect during the first formal courting scene involving the characters played by John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, and Barry Fitzgerald.

In Disney's 1967 film The Gnome-Mobile, DJ Mulroony (Walter Brennan) tells his grandchildren (Matthew Garber and Karen Dotrice) about the jaunting car he owned in his youth, and sings a song about it.

WALK-FM

WALK-FM (97.5 FM) is a hot adult contemporary radio station licensed to Patchogue, New York, and serving Long Island. The station is owned by Connoisseur Media, with studios and offices located at Airport Plaza in Farmingdale, New York, and its transmitter located on Telescope Hill in Farmingville, New York. WALK-FM broadcasts in the HD Radio hybrid format with its HD2 channel carrying the mainstream rock programming of co-owned 94.3 WWSK.

1952 to 1999
WALK-FM first signed on the air on December 12, 1952. It was owned by the Suffolk Broadcasting Corporation, and was the FM counterpart to co-owned WALK (1370 AM). WALK was a daytimer station, so WALK-FM allowed listeners with FM radios to hear the programming after sunset. In its early years, WALK-AM-FM played classical music, big band, adult standards and jazz. WALK-FM was originally powered at 15,000 watts, only heard in the western part of Suffolk County.

The WALK stations were purchased in 1963 by the Island Broadcasting System along with their sister station in Riverhead, WRIV. Island Broadcasting was owned in part by NBC News anchorman Chet Huntley. In 1997, WALK-AM-FM were bought by Chancellor Communications. One of WALK-FM's longest running shows was "Klein 'til 9 and Again 'til 10" hosted by Bob Klein. Klein was the morning drive time disc jockey for much of the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, helping a couple of generations of Long Islanders start their day. Klein died in 2017 at age 92.

WALK-FM was one of the first stations on Long Island to run all Christmas music during the holiday season, beginning weeks before Christmas. The all-holiday format began in 1995 on AM 1370 WALK. Beginning in 2002, it was run on both WALK AM and FM. It continues to run on WALK-FM annually from a week or two before Thanksgiving through Christmas Day.

2000s
In 2000, WALK-AM-FM were acquired by Clear Channel Communications. In 2014, Clear Channel switched its name to iHeartMedia, Inc.

The WALK Breakfast Club, the weekday morning show now hosted by Mark Daniels and Cindy, was featured on ABC's Good Morning America in December 2005. A GMA reporter was live on national TV, asking Mark and Cindy about playing all holiday music on radio stations. After the report, Cindy jokingly accused Mark of paying off the photographer since the camera was only focusing on Mark.

Long-time WALK-FM DJ Dave Shnayer, known as "JD Howard" on-air, died on November 17, 2007, after a three-year battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The death was announced the following afternoon by Holly Levis.

2010s
WALK-FM dropped the slogan "Yesterday and Today", switching to "Long Island's Best Variety" in May 2010. Around that time, the station began decreasing the amount of music from the 1970s to one-to-two songs per hour, starting the transition to a hotter AC format. Eventually, music from the 1970s was eliminated, and music from the 1980s has been scaled back.

By July 2012, the station's tempo had increased to where it was no longer playing mainstream adult contemporary but had switched to a hot adult contemporary format as Mediabase moved it to the "Hot AC Panel". However, WALK-FM continued on the Nielsen BDS AC panel.

On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would acquire WALK-AM-FM from the Aloha Station Trust in exchange for transferring its existing 29 stations to Clear Channel. Qantum immediately sold WALK-AM-FM to Connoisseur Media, making them sister stations to Nassau County-based AC station 98.3 WKJY. The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014. The WALK stations were split up in late 2019, after Connoisseur donated the AM station to Cantico Nuevo Ministry, which renamed it WLID.

HD Radio
In mid-2006, WALK-FM began broadcasting in the HD Radio hybrid format. Weeks later, WALK-FM began playing country music on its HD2 subchannel, which Clear Channel Communications claimed was the first country station on Long Island in years. Programming on WALK-FM-HD2 was discontinued after the sale of the station to Connoisseur Media. WALK-FM-HD2 returned to the air in 2017 with sister station WWSK 94.3 FM "The Shark" now heard on the HD2 signal. The Shark is a mainstream rock station also serving Suffolk County.

Awards
In 2007, the station was nominated for the Adult Contemporary Station of the Year Award by Radio & Records magazine for the top 25 U.S. radio markets. Other nominees included WMJX in Boston, KOST in Los Angeles, WLTW in New York City, WBEB in Philadelphia and KEZK-FM in St. Louis.

Nothing Like the Sun: A Story of Shakespeare's Love Life

Nothing Like the Sun is a fictional biography of William Shakespeare by Anthony Burgess first published in 1964. It tells the story of Shakespeare's life with a mixture of fact and fiction, the latter including an affair with a black prostitute named Fatimah, who inspires the Dark Lady of the Sonnets. The title refers to the first line of Sonnet 130, "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun", in which Shakespeare describes his love for a dark-haired woman.

Background
Burgess recounted in his Foreword added to later editions that the novel was a project of his for many years, but the process of writing accelerated so that publishing would coincide with the quatercentenary of Shakespeare's birth, on 23 April 1964.

Synopsis
As Burgess reminds readers in his foreword, the novel has a frame story in which a professor of a Malaysian college named "Mr. Burgess" is delivering his final lecture on the life of Shakespeare before returning to the United Kingdom, while progressively becoming more drunk on rice wine and gradually less inhibited as the lecture progresses. The "lecture" begins with "Mr. Burgess" reading Sonnet 147, in which Shakespeare describes his love for his mistress as a fever. "Mr. Burgess" proposes that this is proof of Shakespeare contracting syphilis, and that Dark Lady's name is spelled in acrostic in the poem, the letters F T M H being a latinization of the Arabic name "Fatimah", meaning "destiny".

The main narrative then tells the story of Shakespeare's life, up to the writing of the Sonnets. It portrays his affair with Fatimah, a black prostitute, from whom he contracts syphilis and is driven mad by pain and fever. It also includes a plot of Shakespeare becoming cuckolded by his younger brother Richard, who had stayed in Stratford, a thesis Burgess first encountered in literature in the Scylla and Charybdis episode of James Joyce's Ulysses. The style of the novel owes something to both Elizabethan English and Joycean wordplay.

Reception
Harold Bloom referred to the book as "Joycean fiction about Shakespeare", and called it "Burgess's best novel".

2005–06 UEFA Champions League

The 2005–06 UEFA Champions League was the 51st season of UEFA's premier European club football tournament, the UEFA Champions League and the 14th since it was rebranded from the European Cup in 1992. 74 teams from 50 football associations took part, starting with the first qualifying round played on 12 July 2005.

The tournament ended with a final between Arsenal and Barcelona at Stade de France, Saint-Denis, on 17 May 2006. Barcelona won 2–1 with Juliano Belletti scoring a late winner. Arsenal had taken the lead through a Sol Campbell header in the 37th minute, despite Jens Lehmann being sent off in the 18th minute. Samuel Eto'o brought Barcelona back on level terms in the 76th minute before Belletti scored the winner five minutes later.

The defending champions were Liverpool and as they did not qualify by their league position, UEFA gave them special dispensation and allowed them to defend their title from the first qualifying round of the competition. They made the group stage and progressed but were eliminated by Benfica in the first knockout round. From the following season, UEFA reserved a berth in the group stage for the defending champions regardless of their league position.

Association team allocation
A total of 74 teams from 49 of the 52 UEFA member associations participated in the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League (the exception being Liechtenstein, which does not organise a domestic league, Andorra and San Marino). The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
 * Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify.
 * Associations 4–6 each have three teams qualify.
 * Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify.
 * Associations 16–50 (except Liechtenstein) each have one team qualify.
 * As the winners of the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League, Liverpool gained entry an additional entry despite not qualifying through their domestic league position. They were entered into the 1st qualifying round.

Association ranking
For the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2004 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1999–2000 to 2003–04.

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:
 * (UCL) – Additional berth for the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League winners

Distribution
Because the title holders, Liverpool, entered the competition in the first qualifying round rather than the group stage, the following changes to the default access list were made:
 * The champions of association 10 (Turkey) were promoted from the third qualifying round to the group stage.
 * The champions of association 16 (Poland) were promoted from the second qualifying round to the third qualifying round.
 * The champions of association 26 (Romania) were promoted from the first qualifying round to the second qualifying round.

Teams
League positions of the previous season qualified via league position shown in parentheses. Liverpool qualified as title holders. (TH: Champions League title holders).

Round and draw dates
The schedule of the competition is as follows (all draws are held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, unless stated otherwise).

 * Notes

First qualifying round
Title-holders Liverpool, as well as 23 league champions from countries ranked 27 or lower on the 2004 UEFA ranking, were drawn against each other and played two matches, home and away, with the winners advancing to the second qualifying round. Though they finished fifth in the Premier League in 2004–05 (usually only four English teams are allowed in), Liverpool were granted a special exemption by UEFA as the holders, whereby they were placed into the first qualification round.

 * }

Second qualifying round
The 12 winners from the first qualifying round, 10 champions from countries ranked 17–26, and six second–placed teams from countries ranked 10–15 were drawn against each other and played two matches, home and away, with the winners advancing to the third qualifying round.

 * }

Third qualifying round
The 14 winners from the second qualifying round, six champions from countries ranked 11–16, three second–placed teams from countries ranked 7–9, six third–placed teams from countries ranked 1–6, and three fourth–placed teams from countries ranked 1–3 were drawn to play 2 matches, home and away, with the winners advancing to the group stage and losers advancing to the first round of the UEFA Cup.

 * }

Group stage
16 winners from the third qualifying round, 10 champions from countries ranked 1–10, and 6 second-placed teams from countries ranked 1–6 were drawn into 8 groups of 4 teams each. Normally two teams from the same association cannot be drawn in the same group. The only exception is Liverpool because of their abnormal qualification as title holders because not having finished in the top four of the English league, Liverpool were not given "association protection" in the tournament (for group stage, the only team from the same association they could be drawn with was Chelsea, as the rest were in the same seeding pot). The top 2 teams in each group advanced to the Champions League knock-out stage, while the third-placed teams advanced to the Round of 32 in the UEFA Cup.

Tiebreakers are applied in the following order:
 * 1) Points earned in head-to-head matches between the tied teams.
 * 2) Total goals scored in head-to-head matches between the tied teams.
 * 3) Away goals scored in head-to-head matches between the tied teams.
 * 4) Cumulative goal difference in all group matches.
 * 5) Total goals scored in all group matches.
 * 6) Higher UEFA coefficient going into the competition.

Real Betis, Villarreal, Udinese, Thun, and Artmedia made their debut appearance in the group stage.

Glass milk bottle

Glass milk bottles are glass bottles used for milk. They are reusable and returnable – used mainly for doorstep delivery of fresh milk by milkmen. Once customers have finished the milk, empty bottles are expected to be rinsed and left on the doorstep for collection, or rinsed bottles may be returned to a participating retail store. Bottle sizes vary depending on region, but common sizes include pint, quart or litre.

More recently, plastic bottles have been commonly used for milk. These are often made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) which is intended for a single use and is easily recyclable. Other plastic milk containers are also in use.

United States
Before the emergence of milk bottles, milkmen would fill the customer's jugs. For many collectors, milk bottles carry a nostalgic quality of a bygone era. The most prized milk bottles are embossed or pyro-glazed (painted) with the names of dairies on them, which were used for home delivery of milk so that the milk bottles could find their way back to their respective dairies.

Extending from the 1860s to the 1890s, there were several experimental "jars" that were not patented but were used to carry milk. The milk jar of the Tuthill Milk Company/Tuthill's Dairy of Unionville is an example of one of these early jars that features a ground lip and a base baring the mark of the pontil used to craft it. Other early milk jars during this time include the Mackworth "Pure Jersey Cream" crockery jar, the Manorfield Stock Farm jar, the Manor, and the Pennsylvania wide-mouth jar. In 1878, George Henry Lester patented the first glass jar intended to hold milk.

This jar featured a glass lid that was held on the jar by a metal clamp. In the same year that Lester invented his milk jar, the Brooklyn milk dealer Alex Campbell was credited with first selling milk in experimental glass bottles. These bottles did not resemble common milk bottles.

Lewis P. Whiteman held the first patent for a glass milk bottle with a small glass lid and a tin clip. Following this, the next earliest patent was for a milk bottle with a dome style tin cap and was granted on September 23, 1884, to Whiteman's brother, Abram V. Whiteman. The Whiteman brothers produced milk bottles based on these specifications at the Warren Glass Works Company in Cumberland, Maryland, and sold them through their New York sales office.

The Original Thatcher is one of the most desirable milk bottles for collectors. The patent for the glass dome lid was dated April 27, 1886. There are several variations of this early milk bottle and many reproductions. During this time period, many types of bottles were being used to hold and distribute milk. These include a pop bottle type with a wire clamp, used by the Chicago Sterilized Milk Company, Sweet Clover, and others. Fruit jars were also used, but only the Cohansey Glass Manufacturing plant made them with dairy names embossed.

The Commonsense Milk Bottle with the first cap seat was developed as an economical means for sealing a reusable milk bottle by the Thatcher Manufacturing Company around 1900. Most bottles produced after this time have a cap seat.

By the 1920s, glass milk bottles had become the norm in the UK after slowly being introduced from the US before World War I.

Milk bottles before the 1930s were round in shape. However in 1935, slender-neck bottles were introduced in the UK. In the 1940s, the square squat bottle became the more popular style. Milk bottles since the 1930s have used pyroglaze or ACL (Applied Color Label) to identify the bottles. Before the 1930s, names were embossed on milk bottles using a slug plate. The name was impressed on the slug plate, then it was inserted into the mold used to make the bottle – the result was the embossed name on the bottle. In 1980 a new bottle, nicknamed "dumpy," was introduced in the UK where it remains the standard now.

During the Second World War misuse or hoarding of milk bottles was made illegal in the United Kingdom. 2.5 million bottles were rescued. Milk Vessels Recovery Limited was founded in 1920 and engaged in recovery of aluminium bottle tops.

From the 1960s onward in the United States, with improvements in shipping and storage materials, glass bottles have almost completely been replaced with either LDPE coated paper cartons or recyclable HDPE plastic containers (such as square milk jugs), depending on the brand. These paper and plastic containers are lighter, cheaper and safer to both manufacture and ship to consumers.

In 1975, 94% of milk in the UK was in glass bottles, but as of 2012 this number was down to 4%.

There are concerns among a few Americans as to the quality and safety of industrialized milk. The local non-homogenized milk industry has seen a popular resurgence in certain markets in the US in the last decade or so. Because of this, the use of glass bottles in local or regional, non-industrial milk distribution has become an increasingly common sight.

Chronology

 * 1880 – British milk bottles were first produced by the Express Dairy Company, these were delivered by horse-drawn carts. The first bottles used a porcelain stopper top held on by wire. Lewis Whiteman patents the glass milk bottle with a glass lid.
 * 1884 – Dr. Thatcher invents the glass milk container in New York. These were initially sealed with wooden plugs, which proved unsuccessful, and were soon replaced by glass stoppers.
 * 1894 – Anthony Hailwood developed the milk pasteurisation process to create sterilized milk, which could be safely stored for longer periods.
 * 1920 – Advertisements began to appear on milk bottles. A sand-blasting technique was used to etch them on the glass.
 * 1930s – Increased prevalence of battery electric vehicles as milk floats
 * mid-1950s – Paperboard tops were deemed unhygienic and banned in some locations. Delivery by horse-drawn carts was still common.
 * early-1990s – The advertising largely disappeared with the introduction of infrared bottle scanners designed to check cleanliness.

Present day
In some locations around the world, different coloured tops on milk bottles indicate the fat content. Unpasteurized is often green-topped. However other colour designations may be used by some dairies. Bottles may also be marked, stamped or embossed with the name of the dairy.

In the United Kingdom, the aluminium foil tops on glass milk bottles are normally coloured:

Historically, other colours such as Pink for Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) processed milk, were also used. Blue was previously used for so termed, 'sterilized' milk.

Modern dairies may also use refillable plastic bottles, as well as plastic bottle tops. The colour coding for plastic milk bottle tops can be different from that of glass bottles. In the United Kingdom, the plastic tops on plastic milk bottles are normally coloured:

In the United Kingdom, milk sold to the door comes in imperial pints. However, sterilized milk sold to the door typically comes in 500 ml glass bottles, which are 'non-returnable' and have colour coded lids that match the colour codes normally seen on plastic bottles. Milk which is sold in returnable containers, such as glass bottles, are not required to be labelled in metric units. Milk which is sold in pre-packaged containers that are non-returnable must be labelled in metric units. In the supermarkets, bottled milk mostly comes in a pint or multiples of a pint, and are also labelled in metric equivalents. Some retail store sales of milk in glass bottles is available in certain regions of the United Kingdom with a bottle deposit.

With lower milk consumption, milk in Hong Kong is sold in both glass and plastic bottles as well as in cartons. The glass milk bottles are sold in supermarkets, convenience stores and in small restaurants. The glass milk bottle carries a deposit of 1 Hong Kong dollar. More commonly available in the market in glass milk bottles are Kowloon Dairy and Trappist Dairy with different shaped glass milk bottles with both in school bottle size.

Orange juice and other fruit juices are also sold in doorstep deliveries in the same style of bottle used for milk. Typically these have an aluminium foil top colour coded to indicate the flavour.

In some countries (e.g. Estonia and some provinces of Canada), it is common to buy milk in a milk bag.

While the proportion of sales in milk bags in the United Kingdom is quite low, semi-skimmed milk is sold in bags by Dairy Crest/Milk and More, and in Sainsbury's supermarket it is available in whole-milk, semi-skimmed-milk and skimmed-milk options. However supermarket availability is limited to larger branches.

School milk bottles
Small third-of-a-pint glass milk bottles were developed in the United Kingdom during the mid-20th century in order to supply milk to children attending primary school. They were the most common form of packaging for school milk in the early 1970s, but have been gradually superseded by third pint cartons and plastic bottles. Leicester, South Tyneside, Leeds, and Kirklees were the last local authorities where school milk was supplied in third of a pint glass bottles until the dairies ceased using them in 2007.

Children usually drank their milk using a straw inserted into the bottle.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikipedians for encyclopedic merit/Title change

I congratulate MONGO on a good choice of changed title, and support the new name for the project. Moreover, his revision of the project purpose statement that incorporates the Miller reference also clarifies a worthwhile purpose of advancing encyclopedic quality.

I haven't liked some of his past unilateralism and hostility, but I think this edit is good, and hope we can work together on creating a worthwhile WikiProject. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 04:44, 2005 August 23 (UTC)

 * Hear hear, this is a good and non-controversial title. Is the Vfd really closed? Is the war over? Woo hoo! I would just like to take the opportunity to heartily thank all the users who engaged in the Vfd and other debates in a mature manner. Thank you. Banes 08:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It is done, but bear in mind that this thing is refocusing. It needs to discuss more than just imagery and how it is or isn't affected by Florida law...in fact, that should be about 10% of the focus. P.S. the vote was "no concensus to delete" but that hardly is any approval to continue along the path it was heading hence the name and focus adjustment. Any suggestions?--MONGO 08:24, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Kinda like Creationism ... er I mean Creation Science ... er I mean Intelligent Design.

 * A turd by any other name still smells like shit. -NickGorton 08:29, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * What? This project will end up having little to do with the original focus. It isn't a censorship targeting project. It is merely a place to discuss what will make Wikpedia mainstream and make suggestions as to how to make it more respectable as a citable reference point...a lofty gaol since no colleges or schools currently say, gee, check with Wikipedia and use them in your next term paper. What is wrong with that?--MONGO 08:44, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Do you realize precisely how well you just proved my comparison to Intelligent Design née Creationism? Is this an early Christmas present for me? Mongo, you shouldn't have! That was so thoughtful!

 * How about this: to illustrate, we'll play a game from Sesame Street. You remember that one... "one of these things is not like the other, two of these things are kinda the same...."
 * We don't want to censor based on decency, we just want to remove things that do not merit being in a respectable encyclopedia!
 * We don't believe in biblical creationism as described in Genesis. We just think an intelligent entity designed all this.
 * I like biscuits.

 * So you tell me why this turd still doesn't smell like shit just because you painted it pink and sprayed some Chanel #5 on it?-NickGorton 18:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * So, you believe that it should remain a blog rather than an encyclopedia...what a pity.--MONGO 20:48, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Nice logical fallacy bot you have there, Mongo. (That would be a fallacy of distraction... slippery slope if I do not miss my guess.) Does it do all of the logical fallacies? If so, how do you manage ad baculum? Have a reeeeely scary looking server threaten to fall on them?-23:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Logical fallacy? Why do you feel so threatened? I don't get it.--MONGO 02:30, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Here you go since you don't seem familiar with the term: Logical fallacy. And threatened is not the right word. I do think it is always wise to watch the knuckle dragging Neanderthals quite closely though. Sort of, first they came for the autofellatiaters and I did not object because I couldn't suck my own dick. Then they came for the... you get the idea. Besides, the more that the majority hassle you here, the less time you have to play busybody morality encyclopedic merit police. -NickGorton 07:27, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I see not one edit of mine in which what you claim to be true, is so. Let's agree to disagree.--MONGO 08:03, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Your assertion is incorrect. Schools do use Wikipedia on a larger scale. I should point out that the current title is so politically correct as to be misleading - certainly no editor here is opposed to "encyclopedic merit". Reminds me of an old wikiproject called "Facts" which wasn't in fact about facts, but about inserting a certain religious POV into articles. Radiant_ >|< 09:57, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * You are right, Radiant. I object to the castration of this project which had good intentions. Erwin Walsh

 * Here we go again.....groan...This title is politically correct because in the Vfd it was attacked for it's original title, among other things. What do you guys (Erwin Walsh and Rama) who object think this project should be called then? Banes 10:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * This project is entirely about decency, or at least that's what it says on the project page. Decency is a loaded word, and many people are going to object to what this project is going to do. But that's not going to change by hiding behind a PC name. While I'm sure it was well-intentioned, it appears that this has turned into WikiProject:people who don't know much about law trying to figure out whether Wikipedia is illegal and WikiProject:people who wish to vote 'delete' on images containing nudity. That is unfortunate. My advice would be to move this talk page into an archive to clear the junk and spurious accusations of trolling, then wait a week or two, then start fresh. Radiant_ >|< 11:03, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I think you haven't even given myself and a few others an opportunity to complete the alterations. I am not that much in favor of discussions about images aside from how that interlinks with Florida Law. I was in agreement with Jimbo Wales that there needed to a title change. You are mistaken about what MY efforts would be to deal with "obscenity"...my efforts would be solely to have it known, here in this more public of a forum, that I think we need to evaluate what gives Wikipedia the most credability. Furthermore, not one university professor that I know of would say, yes, Wikipedia is fine as a footnote for your research...not in a million years if we don't start thinking about ways to make this enterprise more of an encyclopedia and less of a blog.--MONGO 11:33, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * I was in no way talking about you specifically. Note that in my comment above I didn't tell you or anyone to stop - I merely suggested that you wait for a week or two to let the criticism and wild accusations die down. Regarding acceptability of Wikipedia in research - please take a look at Citing Wikipedia. I've queried at the Reference Desk if there are any concrete examples. Radiant_ >|< 14:03, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Here you go. I count over 30 published books that cite Wikipedia as a source. Radiant_ >|< 14:27, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a good start and shows that Wikipedia is gaining respectability as a reliable source of information...I have never doubted that the vast majority of articles do have excellent referencing and are valuable for citation. I have also spoken to numerous professors such as the one that allowed me to use his images here:Caribou-Targhee National Forest and elsewhere, that :a)Wikipedia is fine for sceintific, geographical and neutral non political works, and, b:)Wikipedia is too POV for political figures, historical events, and suffers from a systemic white male, ethnocentric and "middle class" perspective to be considered a citable reference base.--MONGO 20:42, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Scout Taylor-Compton

Scout Taylor-Compton (born Desariee Starr Compton; February 21, 1989) is an American actress. She has frequently worked in the horror genre, most notably as Laurie Strode in the 2007 remake of Halloween and its 2009 sequel. Outside of horror, she portrayed musician Lita Ford in the biographical drama film The Runaways (2010).

Early life
Taylor-Compton was born Desariee Starr Compton, on February 21, 1989, in Long Beach, California. Her mother is Mexican. Her father is a mortician. Taylor-Compton says she "grew up in that whole horror genre and visiting my dad at the mortuary. I have no problem with that stuff. Whether it was a coffin or my dad bringing his work home."

Career
In 1998, Taylor-Compton began her acting career with an appearance in the film A.W.O.L. with David Morse, and later in the short film Thursday Afternoon. She went on to have small roles in both television and film including Ally McBeal, ER, Frasier, The Guardian and The Division. She appeared in several student films, commercials for Fuji Film and the Disney Cruise Line, and various skits on The Jay Leno Show. In November 2000, Taylor-Compton made her stage debut as the title character in a production of Annie Warbucks at The Grove Theatre in Upland, California, and a stage production of Footloose at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center.

In 2001, she had a recurring role as Clara Forrester, the younger sister of Dean Forrester (Jared Padalecki) in the television series Gilmore Girls, appearing in a total of four episodes until 2004. Taylor-Compton was nominated for "Best Performance in a TV Series – Recurring Young Actress" for her portrayal of Clara. She made a comedic appearance in the film Four Fingers of the Dragon (2003) playing herself auditioning for a role in a fictional Kung Fu film. In 2004, she appeared in the teen comedy, Sleepover, her first large Hollywood film role. The cast of the film was nominated for "Best Performance in a Feature Film – Young Ensemble Cast" at the Young Artists Award.

In 2005, she was briefly considered a missing person when her family had been unable to contact her for approximately two weeks. She was discovered to be alive and healthy on August 25, 2005, and had reportedly been in the company of an acquaintance during her absence.

Following Sleepover, she appeared in numerous television series including Hidden Howie, Unfabulous (2 episodes), Cold Case, That's So Raven, Charmed (appearing in 8 episodes between 2000 and 2006 as various Fairies), and Without a Trace (in which she portrayed a runaway teenager).

In 2007, Taylor-Compton joined the cast of ABC's Friday Night Live. The same year, she starred in the drama Tomorrow is Today and the horror film Wicked Little Things. Tomorrow is Today features Taylor-Compton as Julie Peterson, a girl who saves the life of and befriends a hapless drifter. The film won over six awards at various festivals which included the California Independent Film Festival, the Garden State Film Festival, Method Fest Independent Film Festival, and the Rhode Island International Film Festival. She won "Best Actress" for her performance in the film at the Method Fest Independent Film Festival. Wicked Little Things was one of the films featured in After Dark's 8 Films to Die For and saw Taylor-Compton star as Sarah Tunny. Following these films, she appeared in Standoff and Close to Home.

In 2007, Taylor-Compton appeared in the film An American Crime which told the true story of suburban housewife Gertrude Baniszewski, who had kept a teenage girl locked in the basement of her Indiana home during the 1960s. Taylor-Compton then returned to the horror genre as Laurie Strode in Rob Zombie's remake of the classic Halloween. She endured a long audition process, but as director Zombie explains, "Scout was my first choice. There was just something about her; she had a genuine quality. She didn't seem actor-y." She starred in the television movie Love's Unfolding Dream, which premiered on November 24, 2007, and in the horror film April Fool's Day, a remake of the 1986 film of the same name, filmed in North Carolina, that had a March 25, 2008 DVD release. Taylor-Compton explained at the time on the starring in the role of Torrance: "I'll just be playing another wholesome 'good girl' that screams a lot." She also made another horror film, the 2009 film Life Blood, in which she had a cameo as Carrie Lain.

However, in an interview conducted in July 2007, Taylor-Compton did report that after completing April Fool's Day she wanted to stay away from roles in the horror genre for her next film projects. Although she has received many horror film scripts, she believes that she "need[s] to move on from horror. Just drift away a little bit and do something else so I don't get stuck in that" and although she "love[s] doing horror films" and are her "favorite", she'd "like to do other stuff in between." She has recently been influenced by the career of Scarlett Johansson, wanting to choose scripts and roles based on personal interest as she views Johansson does. Taylor-Compton went on to explain, "That's what I kind of want to do. I love just being passionate about something rather than just caring about the money or who's in the movie." In 2009, Taylor-Compton starred alongside Helen Mirren and Joe Pesci in Love Ranch. Then she appeared in the film Obsessed alongside Beyoncé Knowles. Taylor-Compton reprised her role as Laurie Strode in Halloween II (2009), a sequel to Rob Zombie's 2007 film.

In 2010, she appeared in The Runaways, where she played Lita Ford, alongside Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Stella Maeve.

On April 2, 2024, it was announced by Deadline Hollywood that Taylor-Compton's directorial debut Bring the Law had wrapped production, with its script written by Josh Ridgway from a story treatment by Daniel Figueirido. The film is produced by Daemon Hillin and Carolina Brasil, and its cast includes Mickey Rourke, Peter Facinelli, Nicky Wheelan, Brendan Fehr, Leah Pipes, and Taylor-Compton's Halloween co-star Danielle Harris.

She attended the Hollywood Pop Academy for additional vocal training.

In 2007, Taylor-Compton released her debut rock/pop album, in which she sang and played drums. She has cited Cyndi Lauper, Gwen Stefani, Madonna, Kelly Osbourne and Green Day as her musical influences. She worked with ERA Productions and punk-pop singer Vitamin C. While on the set filming Halloween (2007), Taylor-Compton received "a few pointers" about a music career from director Rob Zombie, who had also fronted the band White Zombie. She has stated that singing is a side project and "is just a little talent that I have on the side, and if it does something then I'll do that, but I'm not gonna give up acting."

In 2011, she played in a music clip for a cover of Adele's song "Someone like You" by Tony Oller along with Lucas Till.

On October 31, 2021, Taylor-Compton and Danielle Harris launched a podcast called Talk Scary To Me, in which they discuss the horror industry alongside their personal lives. In 2023, the podcast was added to Bloody Disgusting's podcast network, Bloody FM.

Despite the fact the sentence states : A loose legal term for a company.

Railroad plough

A railroad plough is a rail vehicle which supports an immensely strong, hook-shaped plough. It is used for destruction of railroad ties in warfare, as part of a scorched earth policy, so that the track becomes unusable for the enemy.

In use, the plough is lowered to rip up the middle of the track as it is hauled along by a locomotive. This action breaks the wooden ties (sleepers) which forces the steel rails out of alignment, making the line impassable by later rail vehicles. Bridges and signalling equipment also suffer serious damage.

Deployment
A similar device, which ripped the rail off the ties, had been used by railway troops of the Imperial Russian Army in World War I, during their retreat from Galicia and Poland. Railroad ploughs were in use by the Czechoslovak Army during the German occupation in 1938, and by German Wehrmacht armed forces retreating northward through Italy and westward from the Eastern Front in World War II.

The German author Arno Schmidt (1914–1979) in his post-war novel Leviathan uses the image of a railroad plough as a symbol of evil.

Categories for the Working Mathematician

Categories for the Working Mathematician (CWM) is a textbook in category theory written by American mathematician Saunders Mac Lane, who cofounded the subject together with Samuel Eilenberg. It was first published in 1971, and is based on his lectures on the subject given at the University of Chicago, the Australian National University, Bowdoin College, and Tulane University. It is widely regarded as the premier introduction to the subject.

Contents
The book has twelve chapters, which are:

 * Chapter I. Categories, Functors, and Natural Transformations.
 * Chapter II. Constructions on Categories.
 * Chapter III. Universals and Limits.
 * Chapter IV. Adjoints.
 * Chapter V. Limits.
 * Chapter VI. Monads and Algebras.
 * Chapter VII. Monoids.
 * Chapter VIII. Abelian Categories.
 * Chapter IX. Special Limits.
 * Chapter X. Kan Extensions.
 * Chapter XI. Symmetry and Braiding in Monoidal Categories
 * Chapter XII. Structures in Categories.

Chapters XI and XII were added in the 1998 second edition, the first in view of its importance in string theory and quantum field theory, and the second to address higher-dimensional categories that have come into prominence.

Although it is the classic reference for category theory, some of the terminology is not standard. In particular, Mac Lane attempted to settle an ambiguity in usage for the terms epimorphism and monomorphism by introducing the terms epic and monic, but the distinction is not in common use.

Treatment?
The section on 'Treatment' appears to be just a different angle on cause. Pingku (talk) 16:06, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

What is "this"?
Here is some text of the article [emphasis mine]: "It is not possible on clinical examination to be absolutely certain that the picture of 'vestibular neuritis' is not actually caused by a brainstem or cerebellar stroke, so mistakes are possible. Nevertheless, this happens so rarely that it is not necessary to perform MRI scans..."

What is "this"? Vestibular neuritis or brainstem/cerebellar stroke?

Audiogram section
Can an audiogram be "boiled down" to pass/fail? If passed, does that mean the person has vestibular neuronitis? Or the opposite? Aakoch (talk) 15:50, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
