Why does it say that the episode The Final Affair "marks the final appearance of Clarence Gilyard Jr."? He also appears in the episode "The view", although I don't know if it's his final appearance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.67.187.207 (talk) 15:08, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Saving
Why is this page not saving and showing up? --JamesR1701E 06:00, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've noticed this problem occasionally; I'm afraid I don't remember how I solved it. Might it be a browser cache issue? --Saforrest 15:51, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe. I've had the problem sometimes on the OE Wiktionary too.  --JamesR1701E 04:03, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I'd like to continue these Matlock episodes with a standardized style, so they have the same look-and-feel. I'd like to have the sidebox, then Plot, Suspects (in order seen on-screen, with their motives & alibis), How Matlock found the real killer, Production details (written by, director, story, music, and guest starts (can get this from the Matlock website), trivia (little facts we learn about the main cast here, or about the Matlock universe), then See also. Ideas?  Suggestions?

Example page: Matlock-Episode spoiler

Plot Synopsis

Charlene questioned a suspect. Matlock and Lt. McEachin questioned three suspects. Matlock looks over the crime scene once more, and finds a clue everyone else missed. He then exposes the real killer to be Carla.

Merge with individual episode articles
Neither of the episodes of this television series are sufficiently notable to justify their own articles. As such, the following articles should be merged into this list: The Best Friend (Matlock episode), The Chef (Matlock episode), The Cover Girl (Matlock episode), The Dare (Matlock episode), The Gambler (Matlock episode), The Gift (Matlock episode), The Network (Matlock episode), The Tabloid (Matlock episode), The Judge (Matlock episode) and The Stripper (Matlock episode).

Typing
Sorry, I get that I am a bit of a noob, but if one is supposed to be able to edit a page, shouldn't one be able to type in the editing field? I'm trying to add some interesting facts about the Matlock episode "The Kidnapper", however when I click the edit field to put the info in, I cannot get a cursor to come up. Why is that? Is one allowed to edit the page or not? I would like an answer ASAP, and if there is an error in permissions on the page or whatever, then PLEASE FIX THEM! Thanks!

The problem appears to be corrected now... must've been a slight glich in the site. :s — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fonz02152001 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I fixed up series one and half of series two
Mostly I just removed some of the {{'s in "Written by" But am busy. Maybe someone could fix a few more??? I also inserted the ProdCode's Marvin Marmalade (talk) 18:38, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Fixed some more and figured out what the problem was
After WrittenBy the entries that have Anne Collins use a | internal to the Anne Collins. So maybe that's confusing somebody or the system. It's ironic, because there is no wiki on Anne Collins. Just replacing this with "Anne Collins" solves the problem as you can see. Marvin Marmalade (talk) 19:10, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Abandon Your Friends

Abandon Your Friends is the third studio album by American post-hardcore band, From Autumn to Ashes. Released on August 30, 2005, it is the band's second album on Vagrant Records.

Sound
The album shows a slight departure from their traditional sound. The CD has an increased focus on drummer/vocalist, Francis Mark; after the release of the album it was confirmed by the band (after Benjamin Perri had left) that this was due to Ben not contributing as much lyrically or vocally to the album as with previous efforts, and his discontent about being in the band at the time. The album lyrics were mainly written by the band without Benjamin Perri, which may explain why the lyrics have a different slant on them than previous FATA albums. Also contrary to their previous two albums, Melanie Wills of One True Thing is absent on this release.

Background and release
It has also been said that Josh Eppard of Coheed and Cambria is responsible for naming the song "Placentapede". It was said that when at a festival with Coheed & Cambria, FATA planned to play the song live, and they didn't have a name for it because the album wasn't out yet and the song was still in its early stages. They went to Coheed and Cambria's bus and asked Josh what was the first thing that came to mind, and he responded with "Placentapede".

After the release of the album, From Autumn to Ashes recorded the video for "Where Do You Draw The Line".

The artwork on this album was done by artist Chuck Anderson.

Mulgoa, New South Wales

Mulgoa is a village, located in the local government area of the City of Penrith, in the region of western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Mulgoa is located approximately 66 km west of the Sydney central business district.

Mulgoa covers an area of 5530 ha, south of the suburbs of Regentville and Glenmore Park.

Aboriginal culture
Mulgoa takes its name from the Mulgoa people, who were an Aboriginal Australian people, the Indigenous inhabitants of the area who spoke the Dharug language. The name is believed to mean "black swan". The Mulgoa were not the only inhabitants of the area; they shared the Mulgoa Valley with the Gandangara people of the Southern Highlands, whose territory extended up into the Blue Mountains. The Aboriginal peoples mostly lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle governed by traditional laws, which had their origins in their mythology known as the Dreamtime. Their homes were bark huts called gunyah. They hunted kangaroos and emus for meat, and gathered yams, berries and other native plants.

European settlement
Following the arrival of the First Fleet in Sydney, there were a number of bloody battles between the British settlers and the local Indigenous people in this area, however, it is believed that the Mulgoa people were generally peaceful and most of the clashes were with the Gandangara. The first government land grants in the area were made in 1810 to Edward Cox, the four-year-old son of Captain William Cox, who constructed a famous road across the Blue Mountains in 1814. William Cox built The Cottage on the land in about 1811. Fernhill, a much grander residence with associated gardens, now heritage-listed, was completed in the 1840s, although the proposed second-storey was never added. Not far away dwelt Cox's friend Sir John Jamison, who erected the colony's finest mansion, Regentville House, in 1824, on an eminence overlooking the Nepean River. In 1821, three large land grants were made on the Nepean at Mulgoa to the Norton family: James Norton, the founder of Sydney's first law firm and his father and brother, Nathaniel.

The centre of Mulgoa's spiritual life in the colonial era was St Thomas' Anglican Church, which dates from 1838. It was the first public building in the Mulgoa Valley and was constructed out of sandstone and cedar on paddocks donated by the Cox family, with Sir John Jamison serving as one of its patrons. The Reverend Thomas Cooper Makinson was St Thomas' inaugural rector. Attached to the church was Mulgoa's first school which operated until 1871–72, when the Mulgoa Provisional School replaced it.

In 1893, Mulgoa's population was sufficiently large to be granted the status of a municipality. Its area extended beyond the current suburb boundaries. In 1949, however, council rationalisations led to it merging with Penrith, St Marys and Castlereagh into a larger Penrith Municipality. These days, Mulgoa is still primarily a rural area.

Mulgoa Post Office opened on 1 September 1863.

20th century
In May 1942, during the Second World War and after the bombing of Darwin, a group of Aboriginal children were evacuated from "The Bungalow" in Alice Springs, Northern Territory to an Anglican home Mulgoa. The group included Rona and Freda Glynn,  as well as John Kundereri Moriarty.

The Church Missionary Society Home for Half-Castes existed between 1942 and 1947, run by the Church Missionary Society. It housed Aboriginal children aged 1–14, and some mothers, who came mainly from South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland, with a few from New South Wales. They were evacuated by the Department of Native Affairs, under military orders. However the group of children did not leave Mulgoa until January 1949.

Heritage listings
Mulgoa has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
 * Fairlight Road: Fairlight Homestead
 * Mulgoa Road: Fernhill, Mulgoa
 * 754-760 Mulgoa Road: Glenmore, Mulgoa
 * St Thomas Road: St Thomas' Anglican Church, Mulgoa
 * 2 St Thomas Road: Cox's Cottage

Transport
Mulgoa Road is the main road in the suburb, connecting with Penrith. Busways provides a bus route 795 which runs from Warragamba to Penrith along Mulgoa Road.

The iconic Mulgoa speedhump is known amongst the locals for its inability to slow cars down.

Education
There is a government-run primary school, Mulgoa Public School, and a privately run school, Nepean Christian School.

Demographics
The recorded population of Mulgoa in the was 1,898. The majority of residents are Australian born (79 per cent) with small minorities born in England (2.8 per cent), Germany (1.6 per cent), and Malta (1.5 per cent). The most common responses for religion were Catholic 36.7%, Anglican 24.7% and No Religion 14.1%. There are a large number of couples with children (52 per cent) and most houses are owned outright (42.6 per cent) or being paid off (41.9 per cent). The number of renters (12.9 per cent) was substantially less than the national average of 30.9 per cent. The median household income ($2,217 per week) was higher than the national average ($1,438).

Talk:Aloha Stadium

Rust problem?
Unfortunate that the article doesn't mention the stadium's rust issue. If anyone who has this page in their watchlist knows why this is overlooked, I'd be interested to know the answer. If there's no reason not to add information (from legitimate sources) on this issue, I can do so. --Boradis 02:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

 * By no means have I been the primary contributor to this article, but the reason why I haven't added any information on the stadium's rust issue is because I just don't know enough about it to give it a mention. I actually work at Aloha Stadium and, yes, I see the rust everytime I show up; the problem is pretty bad. I also read about it in the newspaper every so often but each time it's mentioned, they just say that the stadium "has a rust problem," but nothing more. If you're willing to add the rust issue to the article, please, by all means do so. 青い(Aoi) 19:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

3.5 Million Tons?
Any source for the weight of 3.5 million tons?

According to the Guinness World Records, the heaviest building ever moved was 15,140.4 metric tons.

Possible that the stadium is heavier, but 3.5 million tons seems a LOT.

 * You are right. "3.5 million tons" is a typo--according to the University of Hawaii, each movable section weights 3.5 million POUNDS, not tons (3.5 million pounds is equivalent to about only 1,750 tons). Thank you for catching that glaring error; I've fixed the article accordingly. 青い(Aoi) 00:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Concerts
Aloha Stadium also hosted concerts by the Eagles/Jimmy Buffet in 1979, the Police in 1984, and Michael Jackson c. 1993 .....the Michael Jackson show was his only U.S. concert for quite some time as he was generally staying away when legal problems here damaged his reputation badly... 4.248.7.5 15:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)RobWright

first multi purpose stadium in the United States?
This article mentions:
 * Aloha Stadium could be reconfigured into various configurations for different sport venues and other purposes, and was the first stadium in the United States with this capability.

and then goes on to mention the movable sections riding on air cushions (which may have been unique). I suspect such qualifications are an important part of the claim though. See the article on Multi-purpose stadium for a more extensive history. I note the following stadia that preceded Aloha by several years:

Could someone please elaborate on how the Aloha Stadium was first at some unique capability in the United States (with a reference)? Thanks. 69.119.27.73 (talk) 01:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's a very interesting thread about it: http://www.baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?95965-Aloha-Stadium Unlike other multipurpose stadiums, i.e. Riverfront, Three Rivers, Old Busch, RFK, Fulton County Stadium, Qualcomm, Oakland, Rogers, and the Astrodome where only the lower decks could be moved, whole sections of Aloha Stadium, including the lower and upper decks are able to move into different configurations. This makes Aloha Stadium perhaps the most unique stadium in the world with this distinction. It's quite an amazing engineering feat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.116.208.177 (talk) 06:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Category talk:French actors

With so many French actors and actresses, maybe we should think of breaking up a separate Category:French actresses to be more gender-logical.--Jusjih 06:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This category isn't all that big, less than 400, tiny compared to Category:American actors. When it is over 400 we can add a table of contents.  I believe gender based categories are against policy unless there is some extenuating circumstance. -- Samuel Wantman 08:03, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * French Wikipedia has fr:Catégorie:Actrice française (French actrice) separate from fr:Catégorie:Acteur français (French actor). French has much stricter rules on grammars and genders than English. If you consider that gender-based categories are against policy unless there is some extenuating circumstance, please specify which policy you are talking about. This is why I use discussion page before any changes. actor at Wiktionary does not consider the word masculin only, though we normally use the word actress for females. Does that mean that the word actor may be gender-independent in English?--Jusjih 07:00, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Untitled
I've been a student at Kenji Tomiki's dojo in Osaka for almost 10 years with the exception of a short 2 year stint in Canada. Expanded the short two line biography a tad.Peter Rehse 02:39, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

I think it would be very interesting to expand this bio of Tomiki with more solid info about what kind of a person he was - personality-wise. There is some info in Karl Geis' 12 winds book about his experiences with Tomiki and there is some good info in the end of this interview (http://www.aikidojournal.com/article.php?articleID=391)about Tomiki's behavior and personality. But I wouldn't feel comfortable expanding this bio myself because I have very few resources - I figure a JAA person would have better info and resources...Aiki Patrick Parker 14:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Please go ahead - just remember that Karl Geis had very little contact with Tomiki. All I get are a few stories from his main students. In any case if you expand - I'll help.Peter Rehse 00:13, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Biography template
Ok, I have added the wikipedia Biography Template and have shifted the verbiage that was in the old page into the template.

I got a few dates and events from the Shodokan website and put them in list format as an outline so we can write those sections in "journalistic style". You don't have to worry about me trying to get all my info from Geis' books, etc. but it would be good to find some more sources besides Geis and the Shodokan website.

I left the "marriage and Family section fo the template in - was he ever married? did he have kids?

How about findin photos that we can use for this page?

oops, i'm not logged in... Pat Parker

The aikido jounal link at the bottom of the Tomiki page links to two further articles. I'll have to check on the name of his wife and daughter and also if it is something that should be included. Perhaps by Monday. I asked for picis before but Honbu perfers not to.Peter Rehse 02:04, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Dr. Strangelove/Archive 1

I had put Kissinger in as a model for Strangelove, but a couple of Strangelove web sites said both Sellers and Kubrick had denied it, saying that von Braun's persona was the only one, although Herman Kahn's ideas were all through it. The web site cited for the Weegee story is the only one that I could find that even mentioned that Weegee had an accident, so it could be so. Left it in. Ortolan88

 * Kissinger wasn't well known at the time, so it seems unlikely that he would be a model. I have heard that John v. Neumann was, though.

Disputed sentence:
 * The only person who can save the world is Dr. Strangelove, the former Nazi who heads the U.S. weapons research program.

I watched the film over Labor Day weekend and again last week. I don't recall anything about Stangelove having the ability to save the world. However, Captain Mandrake is focussed on little other than transmitting the recall code that will stop the US bombers from attacking Russia.

Is it possible that with the multiple roles Sellers played, we have confused which incarnation of Sellers was which? --Ed Poor

 * Great catch! I didn't write that, but I read it so many times without noticing.  In a sense, Mandrake is the person who can save the world in terms of the plot of the movie, while Dr. Strangelove is put forward, ironically, as the only person who can save the world politically.  Ortolan88

 * If I recall correctly, Strangelove suggests that with ten women for each men, it would be the, um, pleasant duty of men who survived Armageddon to repopulate the world -- thus saving the human race from extinction. --Ed Poor

 * Hence the word "ironically". Recall Sen. Richard B. Russell's assertion:  "If only one boy and girl are left alive after an atomic war, I want that boy and girl to be Americans."Ortolan88

''General Ripper's plan is foiled--at first--but one B-52 ("The Leper Colony") can't be called back and is heading in to drop the one nuclear bomb that will set off the doomsday machine. The only person who can save the world is Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, the British exchange officer who discovers the recall code.''

Now, wait a second. I admit I haven't seen the movie in a while, but this summary seems chronologically backwards. As I remember it, the sequence of events is: a) the General's death, b) discovery and broadcasting of the recall code, which stops most of the bombers, then c) realization that the last bomber isn't responding to the code. Once it's discovered that the last B-52 won't respond to the code, there's nothing Mandrake can do about it anymore.  To point out that the last bomber can't be stopped, and subsequently imply that Mandrake can do something about it seems bass ackwards.  Am I incorrect? Dachshund

No that's it.

 * Sounds right, but Mandrake not only discovered the code, but also discovered the radio and figured out that the general was lying. Maybe it should say "Mandrake only  could have saved the world". Ortolan88

Surely 'Dmitri' is spelt Demetrius? (with the us silent) -Adrian

 * Unfortunately, we don't hear Kissoff himself, so he's not credited on the IMDb. But if you google '"dr. strangelove" kissoff' you'll see that in the first 3 pages it's all "Dmitri."  --KQ

 * For what it matters, the DVD English subtitle spells it "Dimitri" Ash Lux 4 July 2005 05:17 (UTC)

 * The novelization which came out at the same time as the movie also spells it "Dimitri". Wahkeenah 4 July 2005 10:22 (UTC)

Obviously in the movie the only one who could have saved the world by he's own choice is the pilot of the b-52 that droped the bomb :-)

The one thing that comes to mind when thinking about this movie is a man riding a falling atom bomb, but no notion of this is made here. Am I mistaken or is this powerful image indeed connected to this movie?

 * yes, it's one of the final scenes of the film. -- Tarquin

 * Well, the final scene. Added explicitly to article.

I'm going to move this to the IMDB Title "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"

Damn I made a mistake and moved the talk page, can someone please fix Mintguy

Surely, in the name of common sense, the move ought to be to just plain "Dr Strangelove"? Tannin

I've always thought Dr Strangelove wasn't nearly as funny or clever as it thinks it is. Most of the jokes appear to have been crudely tacked onto the original thriller plot, the British, Germans and Russians - and the Americans, I guess - are all crudely stereotyped, and all of the characters have stupid "funny" names. Maybe these points should be discussed in the article. Lee M
 * Done --Lee M

 * Shouldn't there be more sources than just Lee M's feelings about this reaction to the movie before his paragraph becomes etched in stone. I have read many articles and books about this film and have never encountered the term crude applied to it by anyone else. It seems to be pushing the edge of wiki NPOV to have it in the article when it is better suited to these discussion pages. Just a thought, I could be wrong. MarnetteD | Talk 22:08, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think the converse is true - this film was a lot more serious than some might now realise. I saw it in 1965 with two others in their late teens - it was less than 3 years since the Cuban missile crisis. We all saw it as a very black and bitter anti-war film leavened with a little pointed clowning by Sellers. Revisiting it a couple of times in the last ten years the things that live on are the beauty of the B52 winging through the mountains, and the real tension that's still stirred by the final bomb run. You're right, it isn't at root that funny - but that's because it wasn't meant to be. Linuxlad 09:19, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The plot summary doesn't explain the part which the character Dr Strangelove plays in the story. Could someone put that in? Marnanel 01:53, Apr 24, 2004 (UTC)

"Pickens was unaware the film was to be a comedy and played the role straight, thereby becoming all the more funny" -- is there an authoritative source for this statement? A quote from Pickens himself would be best. Lefty 02:03, 2004 Apr 24 (UTC)

I claim responsibility for this edit, and I've been looking round for a reputable cite. Many other sources mention it but only as a long-rumoured story. The best I've found is from Roger Ebert in 1999:

 * Major Kong was intended to be Sellers' fourth role, but he was uncertain about the cowboy accent. Pickens, a character actor from westerns, was brought in by Kubrick, who reportedly didn't tell him the film was a comedy. Pickens' patriotic speeches to his crew (and his promises of promotion and medals) are counterpoint to the desperate American efforts to recall the flight.

Unless someone can find an unpublished autobiography by Slim Pickens himself it's unlikely that we will know for sure but his acting does seem to have an earnestness not present in the other characters. Perhaps the phrase should be softened to indicate uncertainty. Meanwhile, why is 170.140.79.13 removing the perfectly justified remark about characters as metaphors? Dbiv 21:48, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Or one could ask James Earl Jones who appeared in the bomber with Slim Pickens to see if he knew they were in a comedy or if he knew Pickens knew. Jones, as one of the few actors in the bomber scenes with Pickens might have the best recollection. --SeanO 00:10, May 11, 2004 (UTC)

I did read in a book about war movies that Slim Pickens didn't know they were in a comedy and so he played the role straight forward. I'll let you know what book it is just as soon as I can.

I think that on the DVD they said Sellers was pulled from the bomber pilot character simply because he had an on-set accident that made working in the close-quarters of the bomber set uncomfortable. Someone might want to check on that. Wahkeenah 21:15, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't buy into the idea that Pickens didn't know it was a comedy of some sort. Even if he didn't know initially, riding the bomb and screaming "YA-HOOO" is not exactly a normal dramatic device. Wahkeenah 4 July 2005 10:22 (UTC)

just a few notes:
merkwuerdigliebe for strangelove is an inaccurate translation. more correct would be merkwuerdige liebe. the german version is btw just called dr seltsam(seltsam is nearly the same as merkwuerdig) and misses the love:-/

Dr. Strangelove who ?
There is no mention of the Dr. Strangelove character in the Plot or the Theme sections. Who's he, what does he do and what makes him the title character ? Jay 10:07, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Strangelove is an eccentric former Nazi who appears to be in charge of designing weapons and such for the United States. I have no idea why he's the title character considering he's only in two scenes.
 * Because no one would be interested in seeing a movie entitled Group Captain Lionel Mandrake. Tverbeek 13:21, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

hi Ortolan88, about otis redding...
I like Redding's version a lot better but he doesn't sing in the movie either. His famous rendition of it is a souped-up version from around 1966, after strangelove was made. The music at the beginning of the movie sounds to me like an orchestrated version of the original, generally attributed to Woods, Campbell, and Connelly.

Monk127 03:13, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, Ibedamned, you're right, of course, Otis's version would have overpowered the scene. The credit for "Try a little tenderness" on the soundtrack album is "Studio Orchestra".  The thought that Otis probably learned the song from the movie is mind-blowing, isn't it?  I just changed it to this:
 * "Try a Little Tenderness", a sentimental pop song from the 1930s later recorded by Otis Redding is played under the titles . ..

Thanks. Ortolan88 04:06, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

new edits
I made a few changes to themes, partly based on my recent viewing of The Making of Dr. Strangelove, available on the special edition DVD, just released, partly based on my own research (Ph.D. student in history, post-1945 Am history).

I corrected an assertion made about the doomsday machine. It was a concept created by Herman Kahn, check On Thermonuclear War, and was meant to mock MAD, but was taken seriously as an idea. Kahn was a curious figure, as he felt his was the morally superior position, but talked in numbers and graphs and so gained a reputation as a monster. Also, MAD worked remarkably well as you can see...we didn't blow ourselves up. So, that's the origin of the doomsday machine--any other said origin is a myth, though the idea itself certainly took off. I've done a lot of research on Kahn, and the DVD Making of mentioned the importance of On Thermonuclear War in the early writing. Kubrick emphasized to his original writing partner (I think it was James B. Harris) Kahn's work.

Until I watched the Making of, I did not know how much Sellers improvised--for instance, the Nazi salute. However, the Nazi scientist critique has been out there for a while and is worth mentioning, which is why I added a paragraph.

I think much more needs to be added to the sex paragraph. For instance, the names? Buck Turgidson? Muffley (female genitalia...see http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/merkin.htm) Jack D. Ripper? Ambassador de Sadesky (Marquis de Sade)? I mean they are just begging for it. The movie is suffused with sex. You only briefly mention Ripper's "impotence." But it's much more odd than that...he talks about withholding his essence. So many fluids are discussed in that little room. By the way fluoridation of the water really did scare people when cities started doing it. There's Turgidson talking to his mistress in the war room, the condom in the supply kit and so forth...and of course what does this lead up to? riding the phallic missile with atomic bomb? What is the critique here? This is a male directed war, a pissing match of sorts that has the highest stakes.

--Dounia 08:29, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, I also disagree with the bit in the article about Ripper's "impotence." I interpreted his speech about this as meaning that he sleeps with many women but pulls out before ejaculating.  Regarding sex in the film, names & more are also discussed at . 70.17.202.12 01:35, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Sex, sex, sex...
Finally, the film can also be seen as a sex comedy, even though only one woman ("Miss Foreign Affairs", played by Tracy Reed, stepdaughter of film director Sir Carol Reed, dressed in a bikini) briefly graces the screen. Excepting perhaps the stiff-upper-lip Captain Mandrake, all the characters seem to be driven by sexual motives. General Ripper's psychotic delusions are triggered by his sexual impotence. Even President Muffley's eyes light up when Dr. Strangelove describes the situation in the mine shaft shelters. Dr. Strangelove is revived and able to leave his wheelchair at the end of the movie when he reflects upon the unequal number of women per men required to repopulate the earth. Sex drives the movie, from the opening titles with two copulating airplanes to the ending sequence in which the world is destroyed in a globe-spanning moment of sexual ecstasy. As enchanting an interpretation as this is, it does smack a little of original research. "Copulating airplanes" and describing a nuclear holocaust as "sexual ecstasy" is all very well, but is this an interpretation we are describing (and hence can reference) or are we making it up ourselves? Can this film be seen as a sex comedy or has it been seen as a sex comedy, and if the latter, by whom?

Mind you, I don't consider this very harmful (I mean, let's not pretend other encyclopedias don't do this), but still. I'm actually a bit surprised that the subtitle's "love the bomb" wasn't mentioned... Isn't that what Major Kong does? (You see how easy it is to do this... Be careful.) JRM 02:17, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)

 * The prose style is a little off, but I think the observations are (mostly) spot-on. As the text now stands, however, it reads as just a list of scenes that may or may not open up to someone not familiar with the film.

 * Re: "Copulating airplanes": the background score is an instrumental version of "Try A Little Tenderness". Mentioning this would substantiate the claim to some degree... Kea 07:25, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I recall seeing specific mention of this. I think it's on one of the special features on the DVD. Someone mentioned to Kubrik how mid-air refueling looks quite sexual, and that's what made him decide to use it in the film. I'll see if I can find it. -R. fiend 14:57, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * The "copulating aircraft" have been noticed since the film's release. Many reviews note this. I haven't checked this, but it seems that the Playboy centrefold from the bomber is actually the same woman as Buck Turgidson's bikini beauty.

 * Sex runs through Kubrick's films. I am reminded of the "docking sequence" in 2001:a space odyssey as well as other Freudian references throughout the film. Pete 20:16, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The sexual stuff is not "original research", contrary to what someone above said. Most of what the writer a few paragraphs above said, closely mirrors the analysis done by the author of an excellent book from a decade or two ago, called "Stanley Kubrick Directs". Wahkeenah 21:15, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Great. References is all I ask for. I hope I can be excused for not knowing all this stuff myself, and asking for it. (And I was careful enough not to say it was original research, I only said it "smacked of" original research. Without attribution, it most certainly does.) JRM · Talk 21:29, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Detractors
"Despite its undeniable classic status, the film is not without its detractors." Is this statement significant without some mention made of those detractors? I read that waiting to hear what specifically the criticisms are, but it just ends there. Without something more said I dont see this sentence as useful at all. I mean, no film has 100% approval rating; they all have some detractors. -R. fiend 05:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I removed the sentence. It basically said "not everyone likes the movie" (well duh!). If someone wants to add some specific widely held criticisms please do, but without them the sentence is useless. -R. fiend 17:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

picture
Get a picture of Kong riding the bomb.- B-101 18:02, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Done! Dr. Cash 03:06, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Chess anecdote
The item under "trivia", about Kubrick and Scott playing chess, is somewhat incoherent. I started to correct it, but realized I have no idea what it's really trying to say. My best guess was that Scott argued with Kubrick over certain aspects of the movie, but they usually played games of chess to decide whose ideas would prevail. And apparently, Kubrick regularly won. Does anyone have a source for this? It seems rather... weak of a director of Kubrick's reputation to leave it up to a chess game to settle a difference of opinion with an actor. -DynSkeet (talk) 15:22, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, it would make more sense than the method we use here on Wikipedia: the revert war. At least in the Kubrick/Scott method, intelligence (of some kind) carries the day, whereas here, it's just perserverance.

 * Atlant 15:44, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I recall some mention of this on the DVD bonus material. If I recall, Kubrik used chess as a way to gain the respect of Scott, and sort of put him in his place. Scott, I guess, was known to be the sort of guy who liked to do things his way. I really don't think I was used to settle individual matters. I'll watch the thing again and try to get the specifics sometime soon. -R. fiend 17:08, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks. That sounds a little more reasonable... my original impression was something along the lines of:
 * Scott: Hey, Stan, got an idea. Why don't I give Turgidson a funny Scottish accent?
 * Kubrick: Um, tell you what. Let's play chess, and if you win, you can do the Scottish thing.
 * Whatever the bonus material indicates, please update the trivia section fittingly. -DynSkeet (talk) 19:06, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Abberton, Essex

Abberton is a village in the City of Colchester district of Essex, England. It is located approximately 0.62 mi east of Abberton Reservoir and is 4.2 mi south of Colchester. The village is in the parliamentary constituency of North Essex. The town is served by Abberton and Langenhoe Parish Council.

Etymology
The word Abberton is derived from 'Eadburg's estate' (Ēadburge + tūn).

History
Abberton is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086-87 as Edburghetuna and as Edburgetuna in the Hundred of Winstree, when it was part of the lands of Count Eustace in Essex, held by Ralph de Marcy and further held by Ranulf Peverel in demesne; it was held by Siward, a free man, as a manor in the time of King Edward the Confessor before the Norman Conquest of 1066. It was later recorded as Eadburgetona in 1108, Adbur(u)g(h)(e)ton(e) in 1208–1321, Adburthon in 1280, also Abberton from 1230.

Abberton was among the villages which suffered damage from the 1884 Colchester earthquake: chimneys had fallen to the ground, brick walls had cracked and many side walls of houses had collapsed; the rectory which was being built at the time also suffered considerable damage.

Church
The Church at Abberton is St Andrew. It is a Grade II* listed building and originates from at least the 14th century. It is located at the end of Rectory Lane, approximately three hundred yards from Abberton Reservoir.

Rod Smith (wide receiver)

Roderick Duane Smith (born May 15, 1970) is an American former football wide receiver who played for 14 seasons with the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Missouri Southern Lions and was signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent and played his entire career with the team. 's offseason, his 849 career receptions and 11,389 receiving yards ranked him 30th all-time for receptions and 34th for yards.

Early life and education
At Arkansas Senior High School in Texarkana, Arkansas, Smith lettered two years in football and basketball, and one year in baseball. As a senior in football, he was All-League, All-Area, and All-State. Outside of football Rod Smith has three kids (Roderick Smith Jr., Devin Smith, and Vanessa Webb). He is a business entrepreneur as he has expressed in many interviews. Some of these have featured his kids speaking about their father's accomplishments on and off the field.

College career
Smith enjoyed a stellar career at Missouri Southern State University, finishing with conference records in career receiving yards (3,043) and touchdowns (34). He also broke the school’s reception record (153), and was named first-team All-America by AP, Kodak, Football Gazette and NCAA Division II sports information directors after his senior year. In his final season, Smith caught 63 passes for 986 yards and 13 touchdowns, and was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, given annually to the top football player at the Division II level. He was named Missouri Southern’s Outstanding Graduate in 1994 after completing his collegiate studies with three degrees, in economics and finance, general business, as well as marketing and management.

National Football League
After the 1994 draft, Smith went undrafted and was signed by the Denver Broncos as a free agent. His first NFL catch was a last-minute 43-yard touchdown from John Elway in a 38–31 win against the Washington Redskins on September 17, 1995. In fourteen seasons as an NFL player, Smith had eight seasons of at least 1,000 receiving yards. He had two seasons of at least 100 receptions (: 100; : 113). In 2000, Smith and teammate Ed McCaffrey became only the second wide receiver duo on the same team to each gain 100 receptions in the same season (with Herman Moore and Brett Perriman). His 113 receptions in 2001 led the league. He was a starting wide receiver of the Broncos' back-to-back Super Bowl championships in 1997 and 1998. In the Broncos' 34–19 win in Super Bowl XXXIII, Smith had 5 receptions for 152 yards, tied for 5th most in Super Bowl history, including an 80-yard touchdown reception. He was a finalist for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2004.

A hip injury that he suffered in 2006 required a complete hip replacement. On December 28, 2007, it was revealed that Smith needed another hip surgery, possibly ending his career. He was placed on the reserve/retired list on February 15, 2008, and announced his formal retirement from professional football on July 24, 2008 in a press conference at the team's Dove Valley headquarters.

Smith finished his career as the Broncos all-time leader in receptions (849), receiving yards (11,389), and touchdown receptions (68). Also an accomplished punt returner, Smith returned 53 punts for 647 yards and a touchdown. His 12.2 yards per return average ranked him 2nd all time among Broncos players with at least 50 punt returns. With two Super Bowls, three Pro Bowls, and a controversy-free career noted for professionalism, Smith left the Broncos as one of the most well-loved players of all time. In May 2012 it was announced that he would be inducted into the Broncos Ring of Fame in his first year of eligibility for the honor. The induction ceremony took place on Sunday, Sep 23, at halftime of the Broncos' home game against the Houston Texans at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

RfC of Mario Roering and Peter Lee
Hi! I read your comments on the RfC for Mario Roering and Peter Lee. I have previously considered submitting a mediation request, but both of these users ignored my request that they agree to mediation, and I was under the impression that mediation could only procede with the consent of the users involved. Is it totally without precedent for a RfC to include two users? It seems to me that we could have filed separate RfC's, but they would be essentially duplicates of each other. I also think that it is difficult to consider the behaviour of each user separately from that of the other. Thanks, JeremyA (talk) 04:18, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I was going to leave almost exactly the same message. Also note that both users have explicitly rejected offers of informal mediation from both myself and JeremyA and have rejected the Arbitrators authority to intervene. Process is less important than outcome remember, and most of the RfC rules are to prevent frivolous filings. This is certainly not one of those, as you will be aware from reading the evidence. Nevertheless, if you insist that the only useful way to proceed is with separate but essentially duplicative RfCs, we shall so file. -Splash 04:27, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Whilst I generally don't have all that much time for WP:IAR (it seems to be used in too cavalier a way for the most part), perhaps this once it is useful. Particularly since we seem to have imported a conflict from nl: and the admins there have been invited to comment here. I'm sure our processes are hair-raising enough without having to go through them twice! As you say, if either user simply refuses to acknowledge the RfC on these grounds, we will go to Arbitration. Part of the reason we didn't go direct to RfAr is because we are third-parties bringing the case and imagine the Arbitrators would want to see good evidence that we weren't just interfering but had tried to help. -Splash 16:46, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Cheers!
Thanks for the welcome. Yes - the formatting clearly needs practice, but looking at the source of other articles helps. I don't know right now what I have especially to add, though have put in a tiny piece on a gallery in Rotterdam that I know well as practice (Rotterdam being badly represented in that list). Must find an image for that.

Being an ex-magazine sub-editor (copy-checker in USan) and non-specialist, was contemplating joining up for the 'clean-up' detail some time when I am less busy...

A noble project and I'd like to find a way to help. Oh - and I got the four tilde thing just before you told me, thanks.

Hey, Ryan, thanks for the warm welcome you gave me. The links that you provided were definitely useful, and I'm still reading through them now.

On a side note, do you know of any groups that specialize in cleaning up pages, or any page that has a list of pages that need to be cleaned? I feel this is the best way to learn how Wikipedia works.

Henry Ellis (librarian)

Sir Henry Ellis (29 November 1777 – 15 January 1869) was an English librarian and antiquarian, for a long period principal librarian at the British Museum.

Early years
Born in London, Henry Ellis was educated at the Mercers' School, and at Merchant Taylors' School, where his brother, the Rev. John Joseph Ellis, was assistant-master for forty years. Having gained one of the Merchant Taylors' exhibitions at St John's College, Oxford, he matriculated in 1796.

Librarian
In 1798, through his friend John Price, Ellis was appointed one of the two assistants in the Bodleian Library, the other being his future colleague in the British Museum Henry Hervey Baber. He took the degree of B.C.L. in 1802. He was a Fellow of St John's till 1805. In 1800 he was appointed a temporary assistant in the library of the British Museum, and in 1805 he became assistant-keeper of printed books under William Beloe. The theft of prints which cost Beloe his appointment in the following year raised Ellis to the headship of the department, and Baber became his assistant.

Ellis's promotion coincided with a period of increased activity at the museum. The printed catalogue of the library was at that time comprised in two folio volumes, full of inaccuracies, but provided with a manuscript supplement, and to a considerable extent revised and corrected in manuscript by Beloe's predecessor Samuel Harper. Ellis and Baber commenced their work of reconstruction in March 1807, and completed it in December 1819. Ellis had meanwhile been moved to the manuscripts department (1812), accepted (1814) the then almost sinecure office of secretary to the museum, and in the same year became secretary to the Society of Antiquaries of London. During the forty years for which he held the post, he only missed two meetings. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in May 1811.

In 1827 Joseph Planta, the principal librarian, died, and Ellis, who had for nine years taken on much of his duties, expected to succeed him. When two names for the vacancy were submitted to the Crown, Henry Fynes Clinton, a protégé of Archbishop Charles Manners-Sutton, was placed before Ellis. Ellis intrigued successfully for the post, it is said by pursuing the carriage of the royal physician, Sir William Knighton, and enlisting his good offices with the king. He was appointed on 20 December 1827. In 1832 he was made a Knight of Hanover, an honour which he shared with John Herschel, Frederic Madden, and others; and he was knighted in 1833.

In the face of reform
The museum was at a low ebb in the 1830s. William Cobbett campaigned against it, and Benjamin Hawes used a complaint from an ex-employee as a pretext to set up a parliamentary enquiry.

Ellis told the parliamentary committee of 1835 that if the museum were not closed for three weeks in the autumn, "the place would positively become unwholesome", and that it would never do to open it on Saturdays, when "the most mischievous part of the population was abroad". The committee's conclusions were enough to force the trustees to change management practices. They devolved the heaviest of the principal librarian's duties on the secretary, who became the most important officer in the museum.

Josiah Forshall took on the position of secretary in 1837, who took control, with Madden and Anthony Panizzi under him. Ellis, though seemingly unconscious of any change in his position, was virtually superseded as chief officer; and when the committee of 1848–9 united the offices of secretary and principal librarian, Panizzi was the real ruler of the museum.

Later life
Ellis shared the secretary position at the Society of Antiquaries from 1848 with John Yonge Akerman, who took over in 1853. He was director of the Society from 1853 to 1857.

Excellent health and the absence of any machinery for compulsory retirement kept Ellis at his post until February 1856, when he resigned on a pension, and lived thirteen years more close to the museum. He died at his house in Bedford Square on 15 January 1869.

Works
In 1798 Ellis published at the age of twenty-one his History of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, and Liberty of Norton Folgate. As an antiquarian, his contributions to Archaeologia were numerous. In 1813 he edited John Brand's Popular Antiquities, a work going back to Henry Bourne. For Rees's Cyclopædia, Ellis contributed articles on Antiquities and other subjects, but the topics are not known.

Catalogues and collections
His catalogue of the manuscripts of the Society of Antiquaries was published in 1816. Also in that year he published on behalf of the Record Commission the indexes and additional texts to Domesday Book: his general introduction to Domesday, written in 1813, also appeared in separate form (in two volumes) in 1833. With John Caley and others, he published a new edition of William Dugdale's Monasticon between 1817 and 1833. He used his position as head of the manuscript department to publish Original Letters illustrative of English History, mostly drawn from originals in the Museum: three series of this collection appeared, in 1824, 1827, and 1846 respectively, the first in three volumes, the others each in four. He also drew up, as secretary, guides to the departments of the British Museum.

Ellis completed portions of the British Museum catalogue, from A to F and from P to R inclusive, Baber doing all the rest. He was assisted by Thomas Dampier; but his portion of the catalogue was criticised by his successor Panizzi.

Numismatics
Ellis was a founding member of the Royal Numismatic Society, which was established on 22 December 1836. When the society held its first meeting on 26 January 1837, Ellis was the first to present a 'communication' - the topic was the farthings of Queen Anne. Ellis published several articles in the Numismatic Chronicle, including on stycas of Northumbria, and on the episcopal coinage of York.

Cliff Robinson (artist)

Cliff Robinson is a British comic book artist, probably best known for his cover work on 2000 AD, and contributions to the Judge Dredd strip.

Biography
Clifford Robinson was raised in Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, England.

Robinson has an extremely precise inking style which is extremely well suited to producing detailed, composed single images for cover art. But his strip work has also been praised highly by, among others, Gordon Rennie. This excerpt from a 2004 interview demonstrates the regard in which Robinson’s art is held by the 2000 AD writers: Q - "Have you ever had an artist turn in something, and thought ‘Oh No! What have they done?!"

A - "Yeah, but what can you do? The reverse happens too, of course. You turn in a script you maybe didn't think was so great, and the artist really brings it to life. That happened on a Dredd story I did called 'Couch Potatoes'. I quite liked it, but I thought there were too many corny lines in it about mashed potatoes. Cliff Robinson did an incredible job on it, though, and people absolutely loved it."

Robinson’s strip work outside Judge Dredd has been quite limited, though he did create the strip Mother Earth with Bernie Jaye.

Hi Tintin

It's really about time you signed up to WikiProject Cricket! It's where we discuss various cricket-related articles and questions we may have. You'd be more than welcome.

Also, I've just started a page WikiProject Cricket/Collaboration of the fortnight page (on Smoddy's suggestion). Please check it out, see if it's something you'd be interested in looking at. All the best, jguk 17:07, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

The Ashes has been selected as the first cricket collaboration of the fortnight with four support votes. Let's all now make it up to featured status before the first Test. Kind regards, jguk 07:29, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Deletion
Tintin

I'm not an admin, so I can't delete things for you. Where it is something that absolutely obviously has to be deleted (such as a typo in a heading, where someone searching for that article would never type that in the search box by mistake), it's best to add to the top of an article (the "db" stands for "delete because"). Where it is a spelling mistake that someone could type in by error, it's normally best to make the page a redirect (easily done by "move"ing the page to where it should be - or alternatively by changing the text to #redirectpage name that you want to redirect to . It is only where you want to delete an article on the grounds that it (and its content) should not appear in Wikipedia full stop, that you need to add anything to VfD. Kind regards, jguk 07:33, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Hugh Bartlett
I've nominated your new article on Hugh Barlett for "Did You Know?" (Template talk:Did you know). If successful, it would mean your article gets on the front page in the "Did You Know?" section on the bottom right of the Main Page. If we swamp them with cricket articles, they won't all get on, but it's always worth bearing in mind when you write a new article from scratch. If it appears on the front page, at the very least it tends to get a thorough copyedit from Main Page buffs. Kind regards, jguk 20:38, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Did you know?
 Did you know has been updated and a fact from the article Hugh Bartlett, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you have another interesting fact to submit, then please suggest it at the section's talk page.

On the battle of basantar
The line i added was an opinion that I've come across many pakistani defence journalist, ex-army men (who served in pak army) etc. It does not have a source though. Moreover I should have mentioned in the article that it was among the humbling defeats in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. It would be impossible to compare battles across different wars including Khemkaran, however I'll add a link somewhere appropriately. On the issue of expanding the latter topic, I was planning to start a topic on asal uttar until you pointed me to that link. Now i'll wikify with enough links to the original war. Thanx.

Hi Tintin, thanks for your message. I would like to see the COTF change every fortnight. I changed it a couple of times when jguk was away, but I have no internet access at home at the moment, so I'm unable to do anything about it now. I did make some notes in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cricket/Collaboration_of_the_fortnight to describe how to change it. I'll leave another message there now too.

I still think it's possible to cut down at least some bits of the 50s, 60s and 70s - and perhaps cut out the "notable" batsmen and bowlers section, since most of them are already mentioned in the history section?

Mohanlal
Sorry,I didn't gave you any reason for deleting your contribution in the Mohanlal page.Well,I can give you the reason now.

The movies given in the Important films starring Mohanlal section was worth a mention.You added some more good movies to that list.But some worthless ones too crept in.Peruvannapurathe Visheshangal doesn't need a mention because he was in a guest role,I believe.Bhoomiyile Rajakkanmar doesn't need a mention when there is Rajavinte Makan.Is it that important?

For such reasons only I deleted them.Sorry for not writing the reason.Also the list became so long that I thought it was better to start a new page that lists all the movies of Mohanlal.

Vauxhall Prince Henry

The Vauxhall Prince Henry was a car manufactured by Vauxhall from 1911 to 1914. It had a length of around 4.05 m and a weight of 1250 kg depending on the model and the coachwork fitted.

It is often thought of as the first sports car insofar as its high performance depends less on brute strength and more on overall excellence of design and sturdiness of construction.

History
Known to Vauxhall as their C-10, three specially prepared cars were entered in the 1200 mile (1900 km) long 1910 Motor Trials named in honour of Prince Henry of Prussia. Replicas of the trial cars sold quickly and became known as Prince Henry Vauxhalls. Prince Henry cars also competed in other international trials including the 1911 St Petersburg to Sebastopol Trial and so two cars were sold to Tsar Nicholas II. A sales and support and distribution branch was opened in Moscow with good results. Hampered by the First World War the office was finally closed after the 1918 revolution.

The Prince Henry was a higher tuned version of the Vauxhall 20 hp that had been designed in the winter of 1907-08 by then draughtsman Laurence Pomeroy (1883–1941) when the company's chief engineer F. W. Hodges was away on holiday. The engine was of 4-cylinder monobloc design with side valves and a capacity of 3054 cc giving 40 bhp output. Three of these cars were entered in the RAC 2000 mi trial and one won the speed trials at Brooklands which was part of the event as well as winning the fuel economy award for its class. This victory helped Pomeroy to be promoted to Works Manager.

C10
With the decision to enter the Prince Henry Trial, the engine power was increased to 60 bhp at 2800 rpm and as a result of the success, replicas were put on the market at £580 with the chassis code C10 and known as the Prince Henry model.

Both Austro-Daimler and Vauxhall offered for sale replicas of their Prince Henry models at the 1911 Olympia Motor Show

In 1913 the engine capacity was increased to 3969 cc and the internal designation changed to C. Production continued until 1915.

Cars produced in 1914 have flutes in the bonnet that fade out a short way behind the radiator.

Road test
This 1914 car described below was very familiar to the writer who was a colleague and a close friend of its owner, Laurence Pomeroy junior, the designer's son. This car was owned from new by W T Badgery until bought in 1946 by L E W Pomeroy and it was later the property of Reg Long.

"A casual glance suggests its engine is a completely uninspired design, side valves along one side of the cylinders and the carburetter on the other but this simplicity makes it lighter than more complicated machinery, the chassis too with its "wheel at each corner" and conventional semi-elliptic springs and light unsprung parts—the brake drums on the back axle are remarkably small.

''The driver immediately notices the heaviness of the flywheel. The clutch, a beautifully smooth Hele-Shaw multi-plate, hisses as it engages and the heavy flywheel gives the car a lumbering gait but then, and it is a shock, the engine shows it is longing to 'rev'. The gear-change is delightful and with each new higher gear the whole car seems to gather new life with a magnificent beat from the exhaust.''

''The engine is by no means silent. Exhaust and tappet noise with a continuous if subdued howl of pinions all merge with other unidentifiable sounds but there is no suggestion these noises may not be maintained so long as the driver wishes with unflagging regularity for hour after hour. The seat puts the driver up high and its easy to underestimate road speed. It is one thing to go fast in a straight line but quite another to cover a distance at high average speed. This car has truly amazing roadholding, it is high and narrow yet it passes through roundabouts almost as if there were none there. It is the designer's perfect balance of the whole chassis which makes this phenomenon possible.''

''The brakes would probably not seem inadequate in the world of 1914. The foot brake operating on the transmission is exceedingly powerful but gets very hot and needs regular adjustment to maintain effectiveness. The handbrake on the rear wheels can be used for long descents but the drums are too small to provide dramatic stopping power. Front brakes would make a big difference but in 1914 front brakes were still the exception rather than the rule.''

The Prince Henry Vauxhall was not ahead of its time yet in spite of its heavy flywheel it is in all essentials a vintage'' car. It stands on the threshold of a new era and one can accurately describe it as the first of the vintage and the last of the veteran cars."'' –Kent Karslake, 1956

Name
"The evolution of this model has been interesting. In 1910 there was organised in Germany the event now famous as the Prince Henry Tour. Having an idea of opening an agency in Germany, the Vauxhall company thought that to enter for this competitive run would be useful to them. There were penalties for involuntary stops, as in most road trials, but there was also a speed test in which marks were awarded according to a figure of merit based upon a hypothetical relationship between car-speed and rated horse-power. It was obvious, however, that the big engine was in the most favourable position to win in the speed test, and hence, reliability being equal, to gain the premier award. Nevertheless, the Vauxhall people entered their 90 by 120 mm., engined model, doing all they knew to get the maximum power from it. Weight also being included in the formula, a lighter chassis was designed. Further, as the width and shape of the dashboard was virtually fixed by the regulations, a body was designed with a bulbous back to give a reasonable stream-line form, and to be consistent, the Prince Henry radiator and bonnet were adopted. This was one of the first cases of a British car having its bonnet merging into the scuttle without an intermediate no-man's land of exposed dashboard.

"Of the three Vauxhalls which ran in the Prince Henry Tour, two got full marks for reliability, and all did about 65 miles an hour in the speed trial, which was really quite good for that engine with a four-seated body and a full complement of passengers. So many people desired cars of this special type that in 1911 it was made a regular product of the Vauxhall works, and, during the last year or so a new style has sprung up. In this the engine dimensions are 95 by 140 mm., the old bore-stroke ratio having penalised the car under many hill-climbing formulae. All such formulae which do not involve the cubic capacity of the engine are by common acceptance considered advantageous to engines with small bore and long stroke. The chassis follows the lines of the original Prince Henry, but has rather a longer wheel base." H. Massac Buist, March 1914.

Abbess Roding

Abbess Roding is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Abbess, Beauchamp and Berners Roding and the Epping Forest District of Essex, England. The village is included in the eight hamlets and villages called The Rodings. It is in west Essex, 5 mi north from Chipping Ongar, and 9 mi west from the county town of Chelmsford. In 1931 the parish had a population of 169.

History
According to A Dictionary of British Place Names, Roding derives from "Rodinges", as is listed in the Domesday Book and recorded earlier as such at c.1050, with the later variation 'Roinges Abbatisse' recorded in 1237. The 'Abbess' refers to the manorial possession by a man called 'Aitrop' held under the ownership of the Abbess of Barking Abbey.

In the Domesday account Abbess Roding is listed as in the Hundred of Ongar. The manor held 18 households, seven villagers, two smallholders, five slaves, and one freeman, with 2 lord's plough teams, 3.5 men's plough teams, 20 acre of meadow, and a woodland with 20 pigs. In 1066 there were 10 cattle, 40 pigs, 100 sheep and a cob. In 1086 there were 14 cattle, 60 pigs, 131 sheep, and three cobs. Before the Conquest, lordship was held by Wulfmer of Eaton Socon; after given to Eudo Dapifer who was also Tenant-in-chief to William the Conqueror. A further source, the Domesday Book: A Complete Translation, gives a Domesday record of Abbess Roding being held by Geoffrey Martel as part of the land of Geoffrey de Mandeville. Other traditional names for the village and its previous parish were 'Abbott's Roothing' or 'Abbots Roding'. It was in the Hundred of Ongar. At the Dissolution, Henry VIII sold the Barking Abbey's estate to Robert Chertsey. In 1882 Abbess Roding was in the Ongar Union—poor relief provision set up under the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 —and part of the Rural Deanery of Ongar. The registers of the church of St Edmund date to 1560. The church, restored in 1867, had attached an 1882 benefice of a rectory with residence, in the gift of and held by Rev. Lawrence Capel Cure of Balliol College, Oxford. There also existed a Congregational chapel. Sir Henry Selwin-Ibbetson, Bt was Lord of the Manor and principal landowner. There was 1393 acre of parish land supporting a population of 237. Crops grown at the time were chiefly wheat, barley and beans, on a heavy soil with a clay subsoil. Parish occupations included seven farmers, a beer retailer, and the licensee of The Anchor public house.

On 1 April 1946 the parish was abolished to form "Abbess Beauchamp and Berners Roding".

Governance
The village is in the parliamentary constituency of Brentwood & Ongar. The village is locally served by Abbess, Beauchamp and Berners Roding Parish Council.
