Pickpocketing or Pocketpicking? --Abdull 23:27, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It's pickpocketing, "illogical" as that may seem, I'm afraid..! -- Picapica 10:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually it's "Picking Pockets"! Pickpocketing is not a real word but you can see why it sometimes gets written. A Pickpocket picks pockets. A pickpocket's skill is "picking pockets" NOT pickpocketing.

I would like to edit the occupation section and elaborate on how pickpocketing artist use misdirection to pickpocket

Short Round
Pick Pocketed Indiana Jones Pocket —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Crazyhors (talk • contribs) 19:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

Reverse Pickpocketing
Is there a term for when a ne'er-do-well plants one of his own objects in your pocket without you noticing? My dad was once at a Minnesota Twins baseball game in St. Paul when someone inserted an advertisement brochure for a "gentleman's club" into his pants pocket. He didn't even notice it until he came home, and was horrified because if there are people whose fingers are nimble enough to do that without him feeling it, they could just as easily have stolen his wallet.

"Reverse pickpocketing" is the closest term I can think of, although it's not an exact reverse because advertising materials, rather than money, are being exchanged. I couldn't find any reference to this practice on the Internet, but I know it exists! It seems like a method of advertising that pimps and drug dealers would use often, because it's relatively anonymous and so it is harder for police to catch them.

Mousetraps?
Really? Has anyone outside of a Three Stooges film done this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.11.36.169 (talk) 19:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

"Style of Dress"
The article states that "Since pickpockets usually have no way to gauge the contents of a wallet, save by the style of dress of the victim, they must take what they find."

Is this really the case? There could be no other determining factors than clothing?

University student- addition of a paragraph
Hello to every person who has contributed and is planning on contributing to this article. I am a student at the University Ca'Foscari in Venice (Italy), and I am working on a Wikipedia project for one of my classes. My assignment is to add a historical paragraph about pick-pocketing in the 17th and 18th century in England. I just wanted to let you know ! If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask. ClaraC12 ClaraC12 (talk) 15:08, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Gender section
In the "Gender" section, there are the following sentences:

"The prosecutions against pickpockets at the Old Bailey between 1780 and 1808 show that male pickpockets were somewhat younger than female ones: 72% of men pickpockets convicted at the time were aged from under 20 to 30, while 72% of women convicted of picking pockets were aged between 20 and 40.[13] One reason that may explain why women pickpockets were older is that most of women pickpockets were prostitutes (this would explain why very few women under 20 years old were convicted for picking pockets)."

Question 1: What does the fact that the women pickpockets were prostitutes have to do with them being older?

Question 2: Is the writer above suggesting that there were no (or very few) prostitutes under the age of 20 in late 18th century London? This seems incredibly unlikely.

Does anyone have access to the source cited for this section, who can clarify what is meant here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:41:4101:5C95:94C2:AA89:2A0D:47DA (talk) 23:56, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Modern gipsy pick pockets
The history of pick pocketing contained within this article is interesting but the current state of this 'business' should also be discussed. For example, this article gives no mention of the gangs of gipsy pick pockets that are the bane of tourists across Europe. I am not qualified to edit on this topic but encourage others to to provide such modern context to this topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.23.46.49 (talk) 18:55, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Repeatedly Repetitve Repetition of Repeated Repetitions
How many times does this article need to talk about women who were prostitutes not being prosecuted or punished in the same manner as men who pickpocketed on the street? I'm not going to go back and count, but I remember reading it at least 3 times throughout this article. This is a great example of the failure of Wikipedia to present cogent articles: editors look at only one section and don't bother to read the rest of the article to ensure they aren't adding material that is mentioned before or after the section they edit. And it's annoying as a reader! To read the same fucking information 3 times: in the general overview, then later on in 2 different sections. I'm not sure how this is solved, other than editors paying attention to more than just the one fucking section they're working on. It really shows the weakness of Wikipedia and the open editing style, because editors are not forced to ensure they aren't repeating material. Have I said it enough times? Do you get the point? Editors, pay attention to the entire article, and if you see an article that has this kind of repetitive bullshit in it, either fix it, or add a tag, or something, but it's completely unprofessional to keep reading the same facts over and over and over and over and nobody seems to care. Fuck this. 174.232.129.91 (talk) 08:16, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

International 20:20 Club Championship

The International 20:20 Club Championship was an international Twenty20 competition for club cricket teams. It was held once, hosted by Leicestershire County Cricket Club from 15 to 17 September 2005. It featured the winners of the domestic Twenty20 competitions from England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, as well as the Leicestershire Foxes and the PCA Masters XI, a composition of current and past players of international cricket from around the world. The winners were awarded £25,000.

The competition was the first notable attempt at a competition featuring the top domestic Twenty20 teams from around the world. As Twenty20 cricket had only been introduced in 2003, the scale of the competition was limited. Australia, New Zealand and the West Indies were not represented due to their lack of a domestic Twenty20 competition. The competition had limited television coverage, and three of the nine games could not proceed due to bad weather. While this competition was only held once, the creation of an international Twenty20 club tournament was executed successfully with the Champions League Twenty20 in 2009.

Talk:Corydon, Indiana

History
I've added some info into the history section. I've added most of the information on Harrison. I also redid the part on the civil war. I used Shelby Foots book The Civil War: A Narrative, volume 3 for a reference. Not sure how to reference that on here.

I also added some more info on the historical sites, the signing of the constitution and the old capital building. I am trying to think of other interesting and useful things to add (I live in corydon) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cool10191 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Madness of Corydon
The infobox claims that the motto of Corydon is:
 * A, Corydon, Corydon, quae te dementia cepit!

This means, "Corydon, Corydon, how madness has taken you!" It is from Virgil's Second Eclogue, which begins:
 * Formosum pastor Corydon ardebat Alexin
 * Delicias domini....

"The shepherd Corydon burned with passion for the handsome boy Alexis, the master's pet." It is a poem celebrating Greek-style homosexuality. The writers of the hymn that the referenced source gives at the origin of the name probably lifted it from a collectio of vaguely Greek styled names; I suspect that this particular bit of Virgil was not widely read at the time. I rather doubt this is the motto of Corydon, Indiana, but next time I am by the courthouse there I will ask. For the moment I marked it as needing a citation. If this is the deliberate insertion of falsehood as a joke, it's a cut above the usual vandalism. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 04:58, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Mauckport, Indiana

talking
I have added almost all the information in the history section. I have lived in Heth Township most of my life, as has my family. I am also a descendant of the Maucks. Much of my information is from family knowledge and things generally known in the area. I have added an external link to an Harrison County historical website about Mauckport that can confirm much of what I have added.

One thing I am not certain of is the Mauckport Fire and entirely what was destroyed and the impact on the town. I am also not perfectly certain of the year which I have put at circa 1950. I use that as date because there are sports trophies from the school which was destroyed in the fire, on display in the townships new school. The newest of the trophies date to the 40s.

Like i said above i wrote most of the entire history section. i based most of my information of the mauckport town history page which i linked at the bottom of the article. I didn't think it was necesary to make references to the same page on every paragraph.. But almost everything is verifiable there.Cool10191 (talk) 20:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Someone has remove the section saying there was no town fire. This is definatly inaccurate, the fire may not have been spread over the whole town but there was a major fire that destroyed several town stores and the town school. Their charred remans are in the middle of the town right now.Cool10191 (talk) 20:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Town name change
I have found some contradictory sources on the town's name change. For example, in one source linked on this page the town was said to be originally called New Market and then changed to mauckport later on. In another source, which i believe is more accurate, it says the town was originally called Mauck's Port, then in the 1840 the citizens petetioned to change it to New Market, then about the time is was incorporated it was changed back to Mauckport because their was already another New Market. No sure what to do here..Cool10191 (talk) 19:53, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Well hang on, after your edit there was no link at all. I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve, but the result was that the reference disappeared altogether. Go and check the history if you doubt it. The internal link is OK, though at present I feel that the external one has much more worthwhile and interesting information, so I'd go with that one for now until the internal article can be improved.

Inaccurate paragraph
"Recently, the town has become a host for Hollywood productions, even though the town's residents are largely unaware of it. Films such as Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Importance of Being Earnest were filmed in the immediate surroundings of the town."

This is an absurd statement, which is hardly correct, and seems merely a work of a person pining for something extraordinary to say about Wycombe. The town's population are unaware of it simply because there is no truth in it - even the Wycombe Star wouldn't be expected to cook up stories such as this.

Sleepy Hollow was filmed in Hambleden, which is not part of Wycombe. It's at least 6 miles away and Wycombe is not even its postal town.

The Importance of Being Earnest had a minimal number of scenes filmed at West Wycombe Park, and hence the name, West Wycombe, is a separate entity from High Wycombe, so it should not be claiming fame from this fact. St Lawrence's Church's golden ball and the fact that the High Street is owned by the National Trust are not attributed to High Wycombe, so why should this? The film was mainly filmed at Ealing Studios, which is hardly in the vicinity of the town, thus not in its immediate surroundings.

More patently absurd is the claim of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This was filmed at Pinewood Studios in Iver - at least 10 miles away from Wycombe, with many other towns able to vie more successfully for a bite at this particular cherry.

It is nonsense to suggest Wycombe had any role in the filming of these movies. This is an encyclopaedia, not a collection of half-baked truths and falsehoods.

 * Actually, a few external shots of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were shot in Wycombe, near the town centre. This is common knowledge in Wycombe. Trampikey 16:10, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes but that is not notable enough to go in the article, or we woyuld have to put similar things in thousands of articles, eg Chalfont St Giles and Dad's Army]], SqueakBox 16:14, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I know, I'm just saying, it's not a completely inaccurate paragraph because some of that movie was filmed in Wycombe.Trampikey 13:20, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Innocent by-passer, 8th January, 2006. I would just like to point out that there is an old inscription on the Corn Market (Pepper Pot) Building in Wycombe High street that states the distance to London is 29 miles. This appears accurate, as it is confirmed in the AA town guide and many internet articles. It is almost certainley more accurate than an M40 motorway sign.

Wycombe abbey was the headquarters of the 8th army air force - and one of the last places Glenn Miller played before he flew to france. After the war, the air force gave the school back and took over a small section which become RAF(!) Daws Hill - which was a very important monitoring station.

Parish stuff
Right, from Youngs, volume 1 -

 * we have an ancient parish called Chepping Wycombe
 * in 1866 part of it in the borough of Wycombe, split off as a parish called "Wycombe". Chepping Wycombe parish remained also.
 * by 1894, part of the remaining parish was now in the municipal borough again (it appears due to a boundary revision to the MB, not sure). it was split into two Chepping Wycombe Urban and Chepping Wycombe Rural parishes.
 * 1896 sees High Wycome CP created by merger of Wycombe CP along with Chepping Wycome Urban CP
 * High Wycombe CP was coterminous with the High Wycome MB
 * in 1949 the civil parish of Chepping Wycome Rural was renamed Chepping Wycombe.

Distance from London
I notice that the distance from London has been changed from 29 miles, which I believed correct, and is the distance inscribed on the Cornmarket (if I recall correctly) to 33 miles. Does anyone know the official distance and how it is derived? I believe all distances to London are measured from Charing Cross, but is that the straight line, as the crow flies direction, or is it measured using the distances travelled along the shortest route by road? Drc79 21:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: distance from london. - 29 miles is the distance inscribed on the cornmarket, and also written in the AA guide to British Towns. I have no idea where the "33 miles" came from, but it is wrong. If Maidenhead is 25.7 miles from London, how could High Wycombe possibly be so much further?!? I've changed it back to the correct figure.

Deprivation
"Quite surprisingly for a town in "Leafy Buckinghamshire" Wycombe contains some considerably deprived areas." has had "citation needed" after it - it's not something you can cite - anyone who's been there will see the deprivation, unless you want someone to take a photo, - you can't prove it!

Wouldn't it just be wise to remove the subjective reference to Buckinghamshire's implied affluence instead of trying to prove whether it is deprived? An encyclopædia is no place for arrogance concerning the place you reside. Maramotus 17:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * It is possible to obtain deprivation indices for electoral wards based on national statistics information. Micclefield comes quite high in that respect.  Would you like me to see if I can get hold of some? -- Roleplayer 17:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * That might be a good idea, although I think it would also be wise if the reference to "Leafy Buckinghamshire" was removed too. It is basically of colloquial use, as is the quote taken from the media of late, "the stockbroker belt" (seen on another page). If the statistics from electoral wards can prove it then the citation can be included, but what do you make of adjusting the paragraph to remove the subjective use of language? Maramotus 17:58, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * OK 2004 (the latest available) information available at makes Buckinghamshire the 6th most affluent county council area in the country with a multiple deprivation score of 8.36.  This verifies Buckinghamshire's affluence.   A report from Wycombe District Council then identifies Oakridge and Castlefield ward in High Wycombe as the most deprived area in Buckinghamshire, and one of the 25% most deprived areas in the whole country (at the bottom of page 2).  I think these two references suffice as appropriate citations for the questioned comments.  I'll leave you to include them in the article (not sure how to do citations myself).  As for the leafy Buckinghamshire comment it is colloquial and would need a reference itself to stay, imo. -- Roleplayer 18:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok, but why? --AW (talk) 16:10, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Others are invited to correct/refine the following, but here goes anyway! Chepping or Chipping Wycombe was the name of the manor and the word 'Chepping' in OE relates to a 'market' or 'marketplace'. In fact in C13 the town was also known as 'East Wycombe'  to distnguish the location from it's upstream (of the Wye) neighbour, West Wycombe. 'High' is not a modern replacement as historically it was in use in recognition of its civil importance. The word 'High' officaily replaced 'Chepping' for the name of the Municipal Borough in 1946. 'Chepping' is retained as the name of the civil parish which forms part of the much larger area, most of which is unparished and today, and in town planner speak is known as the 'High Wycombe Urban Area'.

Carnegie Steel Company

Carnegie Steel Company was a steel-producing company primarily created by Andrew Carnegie and several close associates to manage businesses at steel mills in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area in the late 19th century. The company was formed in 1892, and was subsequently sold in 1901 in one of the largest business transactions of the early 20th century, to become a major component of U.S. Steel. The sale made Carnegie one of the richest men in history.

Creation
Carnegie began the construction of his first steel mill, the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, in 1872 at Braddock, Pennsylvania. The Thomson Steel Works began producing rails in 1874. By a combination of low wages, efficient technology infrastructure investment and an efficient organization, the mill produced cheap steel, which sold for a large profit in the growing markets of industrial development. Carnegie alone estimated that 40% was returned on the investment, i.e., a profit of $40,000 from a $100,000 investment in the mill.

The profits made by the Edgar Thomson Steel Works were substantial enough to let Carnegie and his partners, including Henry Clay Frick, his cousin George Lauder, and Henry Phipps Jr., buy other nearby steel mills. These included the Homestead Steel Works, which Carnegie acquired in 1883. The presence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers provided transport for the heavy materials used in steel production. Each plant was near to or alongside a river.

Carnegie agreed to Frick's subsequent proposal that the various plants and assets, including H. C. Frick & Company, be consolidated into a single company. This consolidation occurred on July 1, 1892, with the formation of the Carnegie Steel Company.

Operations
The company headquarters were located in the Carnegie Building, an early skyscraper in Downtown Pittsburgh. Built to show its use of steel in its construction, the building was fifteen stories high and was left uncovered for a full year. The Carnegie Building was demolished in 1952.

Carnegie Steel made major technological innovations in the 1880s, especially the installation of the open hearth furnace system at Homestead in 1886. It now became possible to make steel suitable for structural beams and, with the advanced work of George Lauder in arms and armament, for armor plate for the US Navy and the militaries of other governments, which paid far higher prices for the premium product. In addition, the plant moved increasingly toward the continuous system of production. Carnegie installed vastly improved systems of material-handling, like overhead cranes, hoists, charging machines, and buggies. All of this greatly sped the process of steelmaking and allowed the production of far vaster quantities of steel. As the mills expanded, the labor force grew rapidly, especially less skilled workers. The more skilled union members reacted with the unsuccessful 1892 Homestead Strike along with demands for reduced working hours and against pay cuts. After the unsuccessful strike the company continued to expand and profits grew year on year, with the company having earned net profits of $21 million in 1899.

J&L Steel was the most important competitor to the Carnegie Steel Company (and later to U. S. Steel) in the vicinity of Pittsburgh.

Sale
Carnegie Steel Company was sold in 1901 to U.S. Steel, a newly formed organization set up by J. P. Morgan. It sold at roughly $492 million ($0 billion+ today), of which $226 million ($0 billion+ today) went to Carnegie himself. U.S. Steel was a conglomerate with subsidiary companies. The name of the subsidiary company was changed to the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Company in 1936.

Vandalism
I think we need a solution to stop the vandalism. This page is flooded with vandals each day. I think we should do something, soon. Anyone agree? BWMSDogs 18:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I put a vandalism block, so I hope it works. BWMSDogs 18:05, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind, let's see what happens before we do anything. BWMSDogs 18:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

You need an administrator to add the protection tag, if it is required. Articles about places always attract a few vandals but I don't think this page is unmanageable - the main issue seems to be the number of people from the former Yugoslav republic (see below). Jeendan 21:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. BWMSDogs 13:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Yugoslav population
There seems to be ongoing contention about whether there are 2000 Brownsburg inhabitants from the former Yugoslav republics. The claim needs a source - I have left it in the article but added a tag to it indicating this.

Can anyone provide a source for this? Jeendan 21:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Saint Malachy Catholic
I added an entry for Saint Malachy Catholic GS. It exists. I went there. No questions about it. Thenextstephensondheim1 02:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Brownsburg Bullet
An anonymous editor added a link to Joe Saldana while describing his son, Joey, the "Brownsburg Bullet".

I've removed the link to Joe and added the "y" in Joey. The latter is definitely a Brownsburg resident, but I can't find an existing article for him. Actually, in hindsight, I should have left a broken link for Joey, so I'll change that. --JohnRDaily 23:32, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Racial makeup of schools
There is no way African-Americans are in the majority at Brownsburg High School or any other school in Brownsburg.

Update information
Why is all this information so old. Somebody needs to update the population and the rest of the numbers and maybe put a couple pictures up. —Preceding Yes please update the brownsburg statistics.

Jane Kelly (artist)

Jane Kelly (born 7 May 1956) is a journalist and artist, affiliated with the Stuckist art group. She was dismissed from the Daily Mail after exhibiting a painting of serial killer Myra Hindley.

Life and work
Jane Kelly was born in Charlton, London, and educated at Pendeford High School, Wolverhampton, and Stirling University, where she graduated in 1978 in history and fine art. 1978–79 she taught in Sosnowiec University, Poland, since when she has worked as a journalist, including the Walsall Observer, The Times, The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Guardian and Daily Express. She said:
 * In the 1970s it was Lynda Lee-Potter against Jean Rook on the Daily Express, and we younger women writers all thought we would inherit that. But it's faded out. There's been a change in editorial approach. Perhaps lippy women aren't as much of a draw as they were.

In 1995, she took an Advanced Diploma in Painting at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London. In 2000, she exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Show. The same year, she was a guest artist of the Stuckist art group, and in 2003 founded The Acton Stuckists group.

In 2004, she was an exhibitor in The Stuckists Punk Victorian show at the Walker Art Gallery during the 2004 Liverpool Biennial. At the time she was a writer on the Daily Mail, but was dismissed after a painting by her, If We Could Undo Psychosis 2 featuring Myra Hindley, was exhibited in the show. The painting shows a family group of a mother and child with child-killer Myra Hindley substituted for the father and holding a teddy bear. The incident was reported on the front page of The Guardian newspaper, which commented:
 * Stuckism, the art movement founded by Tracey Emin's former boyfriend to oppose the pretensions of Britart, claims to advocate 'honest, uncensored expression'. Unfortunately, the Daily Mail does not appear to share those values.

It described how the paper welcomed a previous work exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Show by Kelly showing London Mayor Ken Livingstone in the context of the 1944 Stauffenberg plot against Hitler. The Daily Mail's managing editor, Lawrence Sear, who dismissed Kelly, described as "absolute rubbish" the claim that the loss of her job was related to her artwork.

She has said that she was never given a full reason for her dismissal, but that she had previously also got into trouble by trying to introduce the term "German expressionism" into some copy about the performing dwarves used in the MGM film, The Wizard of Oz, some of whom came from Weimar Germany. She said that the acting feature editor at the time had never heard of such a thing and told her "what the fuck is German Expressionism? I have never heard of it and neither have our fucking readers." Her own explanation of her painting in the show catalogue was:
 * I've always been fascinated by Myra Hindley's disastrous life and because hers was the first horrible crime I knew about as a child. I wanted to see what she might have looked like in the kind of family situation she was always denied.

The painting sold to a European Union Commissioner for £3,500.

In December 2006, her show, Stupid English Men, was held in a Brighton gallery, Art Café. Her painting of Tim Walker, The Sunday Telegraph's theatre critic and diarist, was stolen from the gallery.

In August 2007, she appeared in the documentary, The Daily Mail Diet, on Al Gore's Current TV internet video site, where she showed a painting of Daily Mail editor, Paul Dacre behind a prawn cocktail, which Kelly said represented "a little bit of taste, but very predictable, bland and no surprises—it's from a different age where people had a more limited palate", and that she had depicted him as a stern figure as he "loves the 50s he wants people to go back to a time of discipline". She explains the other figure in the painting: "The Mail has always been slightly prurient and a bit scared of sex and I wanted this figure to represent that—it's slightly nasty and a bit threatening." The documentary, on the same principle as the film Supersize Me, showed film maker Nick Angel consuming only one news product—the Daily Mail—for four weeks, a diet, which Kelly considered, "dangerous—it would be like eating hamburgers and nothing else—you're starving yourself." The Guardian challenged Daily Mail journalists to print out her picture and post it on the newsroom wall.

Kelly's work is mainly preoccupied with The Holocaust and she sees herself as a "post-holocaust painter". She has visited Zandvoort beach, 15 minutes from Amsterdam, where Anne Frank used to go regularly as a child, accompanied by her family. Kelly made a painting based on this visit which was auctioned by Sotheby's in Belfast on 28 April 2006, in aid of victims of trauma. The painting was sold for £1,500 to an Irish collector. Kelly said, "It was rather a lonely job going out to Zandvoort to make the drawings for the painting and sometimes I doubted my sanity in doing it at all."

Her work has been shown at the Cristus Gallery, Sandgate, The Royal Academy Summer Show, The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, The White Cube, London, the Sackville Gallery, London, the Excel Centre, Manchester, the MacRobert Arts Centre, Stirling and the Wolverhampton City Art Gallery.

In May 2010, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She has kept a blog on her dealings with the NHS called Icantbelieveitsreallycancer.

 * As far as I'm aware, there isn't a very large or notable Muslim community in this location. Despite this, Plainfield has historically been a center for religious freedom due to its Quaker origins. Also, Plainfield is located immediately outside Indianapolis, and it would be reasonable for their headquarters to be near a major Midwest city due to the Islamic Society of North America having strong historical ties to the Midwest since its founding as a student group in Illinois.

Nasrullah Khan (Afghanistan)

Nasrullah Khan (Pashto/Dari: ), (1874–1920), sometimes spelt as Nasr Ullah Khan, was shahzada (crown prince) of Afghanistan and second son of Emir Abdur Rahman Khan. He held the throne of Afghanistan as Emir for one week, from 21 to 28 February 1919.

Early life
Nasrullah was born to a Pashtun family in Samarkand in 1874, the second of three sons of Abdur Rahman Khan. His brothers were Habibullah Khan who was his elder brother and Mohammed Omar Khan. Nasrullah's birth occurred during a period in which his father Abdur Rahman Khan was living in exile in Russian Turkestan.

On 22 July 1880, Nasrullah's father was recognised as Emir following the end of British occupation of Afghanistan, on the condition that he align Afghanistan's foreign policy with that of Britain. As a consequence of his father's ascension of the throne, Nasrullah (and his elder brother Habibullah) became Shahzada (crown princes) of Afghanistan.

Visit to England
In 1895 the Emir Abdur Rahman Khan had intended to undertake a state visit to England to pay his respects to the ageing Queen Victoria. However, his health prevented him from making the trip, and so he instead sent his son the Shahzada Nasrullah Khan. Nasrullah departed Bombay on 29 April 1895, with an entourage of over 90 dignitaries, including "five or six" high-ranking Afghan nobles and a group of priests for the observance of religious functions. On 23 May the Shahzada landed at Portsmouth in England.

On 27 May 1895 the Shahzada was received by the Queen at Windsor. During his trip he also visited the Liverpool Overhead Railway, and went to Ascot, Glasgow, and the Elswick Company Gun Range at Blitterlees Banks, as well as staying with Lord Armstrong at Cragside. He made a gift of £2,500 to Abdullah Quilliam to support the work of the Liverpool Muslim Institute.

At the time of his visit, the Shahzada was 20 years of age. He reportedly did not speak English well, and did not make a good impression on the local press. A reporter from the Cumberland Pacquet described him as "a stolid, impassive, and greatly bored youth".

On 3 September 1895 he left England for Paris, and from Paris went on to Rome and Naples, and arrived in Karachi on 16 October 1895. He returned to Kabul through Quetta, Chaman and Kandahar. The National Geographic Magazine believed this to be the longest journey ever undertaken by an Afghan.

In 1895, Nasrullah and his brother Habibullah received the Knight Grand Cross of St Michael and St George from Queen Victoria in recognition of their services to the British Commonwealth.

During Habibullah's reign
On 3 October 1901 Nasrullah's father Abdur Rahman died, aged 57, and Nasrullah's brother Habibullah peacefully ascended the throne of Afghanistan by right of primogeniture.

Prior to his death, Abdur Rahman had sought to totally subdue any sources of opposition to his reign and the stability of Afghanistan with strict laws and restrictions. Among those affected by Abdur Rahman's restrictions was the religious establishment. Upon Abdur Rahman's death, the religious establishment sought to regain its power, and saw in Nasrullah a potential ally. Nasrullah was by this stage deeply religious and had qualified as a Hafiz, or "Memorizer of the Qur'an", one who has memorised entire Quran. Throughout his adult life he advocated an Afghan policy strongly aligned with Islamic principles.

Recognising his brother as a potential contender for the throne, Habibullah went to lengths to placate and gain the support of Nasrullah. Upon Habibullah's succession to the throne he named Nasrullah commander-in-chief of the Afghan army, and also gave him the title of President of the State Council. Later in his reign, Habibullah named Nasrullah his heir to the throne in preference to Habibullah's own sons. By contrast, Nasrullah's younger brother Mohammed Omar Jan, and Mohammed's mother the Queen Dowager Bibi Hallima, both of whom were powerful political forces potentially of danger to Habibullah, were kept by Habibullah as "practically state prisoners" confined in private quarters under the guise of protection by a strong detachment of the Imperial Bodyguard (Mohammed Omar Jan having been stripped of his own personal bodyguard – and state positions – by Habibullah in 1904).

The level of influence Nasrullah enjoyed led Angus Hamilton in his 1910 book Afghanistan to describe Habibullah as a "weak-willed" ruler, and the possibility of Nasrullah making an attempt on the throne caused Hamilton to describe him as a "stormy petrel in the Afghan sea of domestic politics".

Anti-British policy
Despite his earlier trip to England, Nasrullah demonstrated little sympathy for British foreign policy towards Afghanistan.

When Abdul Rahman Khan took the throne of Afghanistan in 1880, he inherited the terms of the 1878 Treaty of Gandamak, which made Afghanistan a British protectorate. The treaty, amongst other provisions, surrendered control over Afghan foreign relations to the British and allowed for a British mission, with European members, to reside in Kabul. Abdul Rahman Khan was able to alter the terms of the treaty to provide that all members of the British mission be Indian Muslims but was otherwise stuck with the treaty in its entirety.

The Treaty of Gandamak also required that Afghanistan sever its relationships with the independent tribes of the tribal regions of Afghanistan, those lying on the far side of the Durand Line. These tribes had previously been a substantial source of military power for the Afghanistan throne. When Habibullah became Emir he was pressured by the British government to ratify the Treaty of Gandamak and, although he did so by proclamation in 1905, he would not commit to withdraw Afghan influence from the British side of the Durand Line, or to sever Afghanistan's relationship with the tribes in that area.

The significance of the tribal areas was that they formed a natural military barrier against the British, who periodically threatened to invade the region to counter Russian advances from the north. Nasrullah Khan actively agitated his brother Habibullah to make use of Afghanistan's influence with the tribes to strengthen Afghanistan's position against the British, and at Nasrullah's urging Habibullah continue to pay allowances to the Durand Line tribes despite the Treaty of Gandamak.

At around the same time, during 1904–05, Sir Louis Dane (later governor of the Punjab region of India) attempted to establish a new British mission at Kabul in line with the terms of the Treaty. This was a plan which Nasrullah unsuccessfully opposed.

When the First World War broke out in 1914, the Young Afghan political movement, headed by journalist Mahmud Tarzi and Habibullah's son Amanullah, advocated that Afghanistan enter the war on the German-Turkish side, in direct opposition to Britain. In this they had the support of Nasrullah and the religious factions he represented, who were sympathetic towards the Ottomans because of what they saw as unwarranted infidel aggression towards Islamic states. Despite this, Emir Habibullah Khan judged Afghanistan too poor and weak to realistically take part in the war, and declared Afghanistan's neutrality, to the frustration of Nasrullah and the Young Afghans.

Nevertheless, Nasrullah actively used his political power to assist the German-Turkish efforts. When the Turko-German Niedermayer-Hentig expedition was welcomed to Kabul in 1915 (despite promises to the Viceroy of India that the expedition would be arrested), Nasrullah provided a friendly ear to the mission after Habibullah reaffirmed Afghanistan's neutrality. Nasrullah was involved in introducing the expedition to journalist Mahmud Tarzi, whose papers began taking an increasingly anti-British stance. He also continued to entreat the mission to remain in Kabul despite Habibullah's unwillingness to offer them a solid alliance. Finally in 1916 Nasrullah offered to remove Habibullah from power and take charge of the frontier tribes in a campaign against British India, but by then the mission realised such action would be fruitless and declined.

The Turko-German embassy withdrew in 1916, but not before it had convinced Habibullah that Afghanistan was an independent nation which should not remain beholden to the British. Following the closure of the World War, Habibullah petitioned the British for favours resulting from Afghanistan's alleged assistance to the British during the war. These favours included the recognition of Afghanistan's independence and a seat at the Versailles Peace Conference. Britain refused both these requests. Habibullah sought to open further negotiations but before these could progress he was assassinated.

Succession and death
In February 1919, Emir Habibullah Khan went on a hunting trip to Afghanistan's Laghman Province. Among those in his retinue were Nasrullah Khan, Habibullah's first son Inayatullah, and Habibullah's commander-in-chief Nadir Khan. On the evening of 20 February 1919, Habibullah was assassinated while in his tent by Shuja ud-Dawla, one of the pages who slept in his tent, on orders from his younger son, Amanullah, leaving Nasrullah the heir successor to the Afghan throne. Nasrullah at first refused to take the throne and declared his allegiance to Inayatullah, Habibullah's first born. Inayatullah refused and said that his father had made Nasrullah the heir rightfully and wanted him to become Emir. All the local tribes people also gave their allegiance to Nasrullah because of his strong religious beliefs.

The remainder of Habibullah's party journeyed south-east to Jalalabad, and on 21 February 1919 reached that city, whereupon Nasrullah was declared Emir, supported by Habibullah's first son Inayatullah.

Amanullah Khan, third son of Habibullah by Habibullah's first wife, received the news in Kabul where he had remained as the king's representative. Using this opportunity, he immediately seized control of the treasury at Kabul and staged a coup against his uncle. He took control of Kabul and the central government, declaring war against Nasrullah. Nasrullah did not want any blood shed in order for him to be king. He told Amanullah that he can have the kingdom, and he will take exile in Saudi Arabia. Amanullah Khan swore upon the Quran that no harm would come to Nasrullah if he returned to Kabul and then he could do as he pleased. Fearing that Nasrullah's supporters would rise against Amanullah, the latter went against his word and imprisoned Nasrullah and his supporters. On 28 February 1919, Amanullah proclaimed himself Emir, and on 3 March 1919 Nasrullah was arrested by Amanullah's forces.

On 13 April 1919, Amanullah held a Durbar (a royal court under the supervision of Amanullah) in Kabul which inquired into the death of Habibullah. It found a colonel in the Afghanistan military guilty of the crime, and had him executed. On manufactured evidence, it found Nasrullah complicit in the assassination. He imprisoned Nasrullah to life imprisonment, and had him assassinated approximately one year later while in the royal jail.
