Kirkby-in-Furness railway station

Kirkby-in-Furness is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 9+1/4 mi north of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the village of Kirkby-in-Furness in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

The name Kirkby-in-Furness did not exist until the creation of the railway line. The village in fact is an amalgamation of six smaller villages and hamlets. The name was chosen almost at random by the train company for the station and was eventually used for the collection of villages.

In Victorian times, the station gained fame as the station with the longest platform seat in the country. However, this was removed many years ago.

Facilities
There are no longer any permanent buildings at the station apart from a footbridge and shelters on each platform (that on the northbound one being the more substantial). The station has (like others on the line) been fitted with a ticket vending machine, to allow passengers to buy their tickets prior to travel. Step-free access is available to both platforms, though this requires the use of a barrow crossing for northbound passengers and so care must be taken when used. Train running information is provided by telephone, digital display screens and timetable posters.

Services
There is a basic hourly service in each direction, north to Millom, Whitehaven and Carlisle, and south to Barrow-in-Furness. A few continue through to Lancaster. The last two evening northbound trains terminate at Millom.

A Sunday service (the first for more than forty years) was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change - this runs broadly hourly from mid-morning until the early evening (though some services only run to/from Millom).

Difficult Subject
It is a difficult subject becuase it is currently in the process of being developed. I wrote this piece out because of a dead link on the Goldeneye 007 page. It could probably be peared down a little in the broad description of mods and just focus more on the actual goldeneye: source.
 * I'm not so sure this article should really exist to tell you the truth. Right now, it's a mod (which aren't that notable to begin with) that is in development all the while having a realistic chance of being shutdown due to copyright infringement before ever seeing the light of day. K1Bond007 06:56, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

well, the fact that the orginal goldeneye is so popular and respected means that any game that follows with the same moniker is worthy of recognition imo

For what it's worth the mod has been released now and it is playable (and fun I might add), so this particular dispute against this article's notability is now resolved. --Cyde Weys votetalk 18:54, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that Electronic Arts has no rights over the 007 licence anymore...so that probably should edited out. Insaneassassin247 00:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No. They have still the rights to make a game until September 2007. Activision also has the rights and upon that month, it will become exclusive. K1Bond007 01:36, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm...at least EA is losing the licence at any rate. They never unleashed the full potentional for a Bond game. Insaneassassin247 14:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I know he posted it years ago but I wanted point out something to Insaneassassin247. The GoldenEye licence was never with EA Or Activision. It was with RARE a British games developer (Which since 2002 has been apart of Microsoft Studios) Which is one of the reasons the Bond games haven't been able to live up to that game since because RARE weren't making it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.146.54 (talk) 07:16, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Project Leader Commits Suicide
I feel this should be added to the article along with the team names. I read on a game news website an article that the head leader had burned himself intentionally with gasoline in his apartment. I got the article from a friend of mine on IGN.COM (griffin1231). -VonV

Foxfield railway station

Foxfield is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 11+1/2 mi north of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the villages of Broughton-in-Furness and Foxfield in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

History
The station dates from 1848, when the Furness Railway extended its line from Barrow-in-Furness to Kirkby-in-Furness to nearby Broughton-in-Furness with the intention of serving local copper mines. It was opened on 1 August 1848 and consisted of an island platform.

Two years later, the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway completed its line down the coast from Whitehaven to join the Furness Railway from Barrow-in-Furness, making Foxfield a junction of some importance in the process. The line from Broughton was extended further northwards to Coniston by the Coniston Railway Company on 18 June 1859, although it was not long before the Furness took it over (along with the W&FJR – both companies having been absorbed by the FR by 1865).

In 1879 an enlarged station was built, designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin and built by the Barrow contractor William Ormandy. The island platform was widened to 29 ft, and a new canopy for passengers was provided.

For much of its life the Coniston line was well-used by locals and visitors alike, with the branch passenger service connecting with main line trains at one end of the route and with steamer services on Coniston Water at the other. However it fell victim to road competition in the late 1950s, passenger services being withdrawn from 6 October 1958, and the line closing completely in 1962. The coast line remains in operation though, with the passenger trains supplemented by a number of freight services running to and from the nuclear reprocessing plant at Sellafield, operated by Direct Rail Services.

Though the platform buildings have mostly been demolished, the timber signal box and attached waiting shelter is still in use. The old water tower and main building on the opposite side of the southbound line also still stand.

Facilities
The station is unstaffed, but has now been equipped with a ticket vending machine to allow travellers to purchase tickets prior to joining the train. Train running details are available by telephone, digital information displays and timetable posters; the National Rail website also states that public wi-fi access is available there. Step-free access to the platform is via a foot level crossing by the signal box.

Services
There is an approximately hourly service in each direction from the station on Monday to Saturdays – southwards to Barrow-in-Furness and northwards to Millom. Most northbound ones run through to and from Whitehaven and Carlisle though one runs as far as Sellafield. A few trains continue beyond Barrow-in-Furness to Lancaster or to Preston.

A Sunday service was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change - the first for more than forty years.

Darrell Waltrip Motorsports

Darrell Waltrip Motorsports was a NASCAR team owned by three-time Winston Cup champion Darrell Waltrip. It was formed in 1991 when Waltrip resigned from Hendrick Motorsports to start his own team, and was originally named DarWal, Inc.. During the 1970s, Waltrip, like many drivers of the time, formed their own teams for racing, in lower levels, originally DarWal, Inc, was his personal licensing agent and operator for many short-track cars he would race at many circuits on non-Cup weekends or special events, and eventually went to Busch Series racing. In 1991, the racing team moved up to the Cup level, with Hendrick support, but he divested himself of Busch operations at the end of the 1993 season. Sold the Busch team to Hank Parker Sr Racing in 1994.

Waltrip has also run part-time with his team, with his final NASCAR Truck Series race coming at Martinsville Speedway, where he finished 12th.

NASCAR Winston Cup
DWM debuted at the 1991 Daytona 500 as car No. 17 with sponsorship from Western Auto. (The car number and numbering style were a carryover from Waltrip's days as a driver for Hendrick Motorsports.) Waltrip led at one point during the event, but finished 24th following an accident late in the race. Waltrip won five races over the next two years, with his final top-10 points finish coming in 1994. After that, the pressure of being an owner/driver started to crash down on Waltrip, and his performance declined. After Western Auto was renamed to Parts America, they planned on leaving the team, but stayed on for another year before leaving after 1997. That same year, Waltrip failed to qualify for his first race in 23 years since the 1974 Winston 500 at the fall race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In addition, DWM briefly expanded to two cars, when Rich Bickle finished 34th at that year's Brickyard 400 the No. 26 Kentucky Fried Chicken Chevy also fielded by DWM, as well as Waltrip running special paint schemes to commemorate his 25th year in the sport.

For 1998, Waltrip agreed to terms with concrete company Speedblock to replace Western Auto as his primary sponsor. However, Speedblock never paid Waltrip and he was not getting enough money from secondary sponsors Builders Square and Hechinger to justify keeping his team open. After the spring Darlington race, where he ran an unsponsored car with a paint scheme honoring terminally ill NASCAR legend Tim Flock, Waltrip agreed to sell his team to Tim Beverley and became an injury substitute for Steve Park for Dale Earnhardt, Inc.. Beverley would put the team on hiatus after buying it; after he later purchased the assets of ISM Racing's NASCAR operation that same season, he merged his two acquisitions into one and brought Waltrip back to drive for what was now Tyler Jet Motorsports, in what had originally been ISM Racing's #35 Pontiac sponsored by Tabasco. Waltrip finished out the season in the #35.

In 2007, Darrell Waltrip admitted that he failed as an owner-driver because he thought more like a driver and not like an owner.

Camping World Trucks
In 1996, Waltrip began his own team in the Craftsman Truck Series team, hiring Bill Sedgwick to drive his No. 17 Sears/DieHard Chevy. Sedgwick collected eight top tens and finished 14th in points. In 1997, Rich Bickle drove the truck, winning three races and finishing second in points. After the season, Bickle resigned as he had hoped to run with Waltrip in the Cup series in 1998. Waltrip was about to run Phil Parsons in the truck, but after Sears pulled out, he shut the team down until 2003.

In 2003, Waltrip fielded his own truck, this time in partnership with brother Michael and HT Motorsports for a pair of Craftsman Truck races at Martinsville Speedway with the No. 17, the first with Tide (with the Tide with Bleach brand, intentionally reminiscent of his 1989 Daytona 500 win), and the second with the Aaron's promotion of The Three Stooges that ran in various series.

DWM became full-time in 2004 as one of the new works Toyota teams. NTN Bearings sponsored the truck for two seasons, driven by David Reutimann, who won the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year award. The team expanded to a second team in 2005, purchasing the No. 12 truck piloted by Robert Huffman from Innovative Motorsports. Huffman was replaced during the season by Mike Wallace.

Joey Miller attempted to pilot the No. 12 truck full-time in 2006, but was released late in the season and the team finished with various drivers. Reutimann ended the season third in points and moved up to the NEXTEL Cup and Busch Series to drive for Waltrip's brother Michael Waltrip. The team became co-owned by Darrell and Michael Waltrip but kept the Darrell Waltrip Motorsports banner, as noted on the Waltrip Racing Web site.

As part of changes in 2007 with its move into Michael Waltrip's operations banner, the team became a one-truck team and the number was switched to No. 00 to maintain consistency with the rest of the Michael Waltrip Racing banner, and A. J. Allmendinger drove the No. 00 for a few races to help in his NASCAR experience, with Aaron's as the sponsor, along with Red Bull for a few races early in the season) and Michael Waltrip Racing putting developmental drivers Josh Wise and Ken Butler III in the truck, although Justin Labonte also drove a few races for the team. After one last race with Michael McDowell the team sold off its truck equipment in October 2007 to legendary road racing team The Racer's Group.

Samuel Elbert

Samuel Elbert (1740 – November 1, 1788) was an American merchant, soldier, slave owner, and politician from Savannah, Georgia.

Elbert fought in the Revolutionary War, commanding the victorious American colonial forces in a naval battle near St. Simons Island, Georgia on April 19, 1778. He was wounded and captured at the Battle of Brier Creek the following year, though he regained his freedom in a prisoner exchange. He rose to the rank of major general in the Georgia militia and colonel in the Continental Army. He was brevetted a brigadier general after the end of the war. Samuel Elbert was an original member of the Society of the Cincinnati of the State of Georgia.

In 1784, he was elected to the United States Congress, but declined to serve because he did not consider himself physically fit for the task. He did later serve a term as the Governor of Georgia.

Elbert was a Freemason. His name appears on the 1779 Masonic membership roles of Solomon's Lodge No. 1 at Savannah along with James Jackson, Governor John A. Treutlen, and Archibald Bulloch. Elbert also served as the last Provincial Grand Master of the first English Provincial Grand Lodge of Georgia in 1785.

Life
Born in 1740 November 1 in Savannah, in British Georgia,  Samuel Elbert was the son of Baptist minister William Elbert and his wife, Sarah Greenfield. Elbert’s parents died in South Carolina when he was fourteen. He traveled back to Savannah.

Elbert was employed by a prosperous planter named John Rae, an important man in both commerce and government. Rae had built a beautiful home on his land near Savannah known as Rae’s Hall. It was through Rae's influence that Elbert was commissioned to go into Indian country as a trader. He had great success in his dealings with the Indians, mostly because of his kind regard for them. On one occasion, Elbert had been called upon to escort and protect a party of Indians, who had come to Savannah in an effort to redress a great wrong – the murder of a Creek chief called Mad Turkey by Thomas Fee. The incident turned into an issue, and in 1774, feelings ran high between the whites and the Indians. Fee was convicted and jailed. In 1785, Elbert wrote in a letter to George Walton, "It is a pity that the people on our Frontiers will behave so cruelly toward those poor savages; not contented with having the lands, but to rob, beat and abuse them likewise is enough to bring down Divine vengeance on their heads."

He became engaged to Rae's daughter, Elizabeth. In 1769, they were married at Rae’s Hall, a union which, according to historian Charles C. Jones, "confirmed Elbert’s social position and influence."

Elbert became a captain of a grenadier company of Savannah’s First Regiment of Militia in June 1772 and signed a pledge of allegiance to George III as a prerequisite to being commissioned as an officer.

American Revolutionary War
He became active in the Provisional Congress of Georgia and its outgrowth, the Georgia Council of Safety. At the suggestion of a committee of the Council of Safety, the companies of the Georgia Militia decided to elect their own officers. As a result, all officers loyal to the king were replaced with staunch supporters of the oppositionist cause. On February 4, 1776, Elbert was made a lieutenant colonel and later colonel in the Georgia Militia. "Samuel Elbert contributed as much as any other man to the early movement for Georgia’s independence", according to researcher C. E. Purcell.

In 1777, Georgia’s president, Button Gwinnett, decided to launch an invasion of Florida to capture that territory from the British. His plan was to send Colonel Samuel Elbert with 400 Continental Army troops in three galleys and support craft by sea and another element of 109 mounted militia led by Colonel John Baker by land. The two elements were to rendezvous at Saw Pit Bluff, near the mouth of the Nassau River, a site that is presently within the city limits of Jacksonville, Florida.

At about the time this expedition was initiated, an ongoing feud between Gwinnett and the commander of Georgia’s Continental troops, General Lachlan McIntosh, resulted in a duel in which both parties were wounded. Button Gwinnett died of blood poisoning three days later on May 19, 1777.

Nevertheless, one reason Florida never became a part of Georgia might be found in the vagaries of the wind. May 13, 1777 was the date picked for Elbert and Baker to combine their forces and drive back the British. Many problems prevented Elbert’s sea expedition from reaching its destination on time. While on the boats, the men were stricken by disease, which combined with supply problems and head winds, slowed their progress considerably. In addition, the waters in this area are relatively low in the spring, making navigation somewhat difficult. On May 30, Elbert wrote in a letter to his brother in law, Colonel Joseph Habersham, "could we have got the Galleys into St. John’s river, I would, with the men I have with me, made the whole province of East Florida tumble."

Colonel Baker’s mounted militia arrived at Saw Pitt Bluff as planned, but quickly moved to a new location when it became apparent that the British already knew of their intentions. During this move, Colonel Baker’s men were surprised by a force of some 400 British troops, and a brief battle ensued in the vicinity of Thomas Creek just south of where it empties into the Nassau River. Outnumbered and facing withering fire, most of Baker’s men deserted. Colonel Baker together with his few remaining forces was obliged to retreat, returning to Georgia on May 17.

It was about three days later that Colonel Elbert disembarked his troops on the north end of Amelia Island. His forces were joined by a few stragglers from Baker’s detachment, but after reconnoitering, Elbert found the British well entrenched with troops and artillery. While Elbert’s little band was busy trying to cut through the Amelia Narrows, the British commander, Patrick Tonyn, was making plans to attack them with vastly superior forces.

To ensure total victory, the British war ships Rebecca and Hawke were ordered out to block any attempt of Elbert’s little flotilla to escape. A violent storm came up, and the British warships were forced out to sea. Before they could return, they encountered a rebel brigantine of sixteen guns. The ensuing battle damaged the Rebecca so badly that it could no longer carry on, allowing Elbert to leave Amelia Island unopposed.

Failing to surprise the British and without the support of Baker’s detachment, Elbert and his men returned to Georgia without much having been accomplished. Shortly thereafter, Elbert concluded in a letter to General McIntosh: I think ---  that little can be done, unless by a formidable invasion, which I judge to be rather too much for Georgia to undertake till her forces are put on a more respectable footing, and therefore recommend confining our operations entirely to the defensive till a more favorable opportunity. We have too many secret enemies amongst us who keep up a regular correspondence with our Florida neighbors, and until they are put to a stop it will be impossible for us to enter Florida without their having timely notice of our approach.

A later attempt to invade Florida with a much larger army was initiated by Governor John Houstoun and General Robert Howe in 1778. It was doomed to failure from the start by lack of a unified command. One of the few successes of this second invasion attempt came when Colonel Elbert put 300 of his troops aboard three galleys and caused the surrender of three British warships, his Majesty’s schooner Hinchinbrook, the recently repaired sloop-of-war Rebecca, and a third vessel referred to as a prize brig, all anchored along Frederica. These ships had been harassing the Georgia rebels for almost two years. Prevailing conditions favored Elbert’s little flotilla and it wasn’t long before the British were forced to strike their colors and abandon ship. Having suffered no casualties, Elbert was ecstatic.

Elbert's three galleys comprised a good part of the Georgia State Navy at that time. These vessels were the Lee, the Washington and the Bulloch. A fourth galley, named the Congress, was the other galley authorized by the Continental Congress for the state. The galleys were approximately 70 ft in length and were powered by two lateen sails as well as oars and  had a very large cannon mounted in the bow. Although not suited for ocean going, their maneuverability made them formidable in the shallow coastal waters of Georgia.

The remarkable success of this enterprise encouraged him to consider launching an attack against another heavily armed British vessel, the Galatea, anchored at the north end of Jekyll Island. Apparently he decided against it, and the Galatea, unable to complete its mission, set sail for St. Augustine, Florida a few days later. General Howe commended Elbert and his troops for their victory over the British ships and, partly because of this venture, decided to continue with the invasion of Florida.

Meanwhile, Samuel Elbert continued with his Continental troops toward Florida. Just after they crossed the Satilla River, on June 24, the first Solar eclipse recorded in the British colonies occurred. It was called "the dark day" by the troops and may well have been responsible for some of the desertions about then.

Elbert, now joined by General Howe, continued on and occupied Fort Tonyn, which had been deserted by the British. It was here that problems began to arise. Houston and Howe were unable to agree on who would lead the continentals in the invasion and the rebel naval commander, Commodore Oliver Bowen, refused to subordinate himself to the Army. This, along with the lack of surprise and widespread illness among the troops, caused the invaders to be halted in a battle at a place called Alligator Bridge. General Howe announced that "our principal objective has been accomplished" and returned his troops to Georgia. Although the skirmishes between the Patriots and the Loyalists continued, the 1778 expedition was the last of Georgia’s attempts to capture Florida from the British.

In December of 1778, the British sent a fleet with about 3,500 troops led by Colonel Archibald Campbell to retake Savannah. General Howe, in command of the city, declined to accept an offer from Colonel Elbert to use Elbert’s regiment to defend a landing place known as Girardeau’s plantation(32.07°N, -81.04°W). As a result, the British were able to land without incident and soon were able to attack the American army from the rear by traversing a swamp under the guidance of a slave named Quamino Dolly. The Americans were soon forced to retreat across the bridge over Musgrove Creek. Although most of the army crossed safely, the British seized the bridge just before Elbert’s command arrived. As a result, Elbert and his men were forced to swim the icy creek to avoid capture. They later joined General Howe about eight miles (13 km) above Savannah.

Battle of Brier Creek
Savannah was captured by the British, and General Howe later faced a court martial for abandoning not only Savannah, but giving up all of Georgia. The defense of Georgia continued with the troops that had not fled to the Carolinas. Among those was Samuel Elbert who, with his remaining troops, briefly occupied Augusta, then deployed to the Brier Creek area where they continually harassed Colonel Campbell’s army as it marched toward Augusta. The weather was cold and conditions harsh. On January 29, 1779, Elbert wrote in a letter to General Lincoln, commander of the Southern army: The articles of provisions we shall have plenty, of artillery we have none, small arms very ordinary in general and scarce, many men have come to camp without any, which we have not to give them. Entrenching tools and camp utensils are not to be had here.

In late February, Elbert was joined by General John Ashe and about 1800 additional troops. Ashe deployed most of his troops on high ground near Brier Creek. It was here that Elbert nearly lost his life.

Although Elbert was a brigadier general in the Georgia Militia, he was still a colonel in the Continental Army at this time and was in command of one of three divisions under General Ashe. On March 3, 1779, the British launched a surprise attack and quickly routed Ashe’s main army. Ashe disappeared into the woods, ostensibly to rally his scattered troops. The remaining left wing, under General Elbert, was driven back against Brier Creek. With Brier creek behind him and surrounded on all other sides by the enemy, Elbert and Lieutenant Colonel John McIntosh together with 60 Continentals and 150 Georgia militiamen, made a heroic effort to turn the fortune of battle without any help from the other two divisions. In the words of the Georgia Historical Commission, Elbert’s small regiment "made one of the most gallant stands against overwhelming odds of the Revolutionary War." The British Army was forced to bring up its reserves and, with all hope of escape or victory gone, Elbert surrendered the remnants of his command. More than half of the 150 men killed were Elbert's men. Elbert himself was about to be bayoneted when he was recognized as a Mason by a British officer who ordered his life spared.

There is ample reason to believe that, if the other two divisions had fought with the tenacity of Elbert’s command, things might have turned out differently, especially since General Andrew Williamson was on his way with 1200 men and General Griffith Rutherford was coming with 800 men to reinforce the army at Brier. As it was, General Lincoln’s plan to win control of the South and bring the war to an end resulted in disaster. General Ashe was later accused of cowardice for leaving the field of battle while Elbert was still engaged, but since nothing could be proved, a court of inquiry found Ashe only guilty of gross neglect.

Elbert remained a prisoner on parole in the British camp for more than a year. During this time, he was accorded great respect and kindness. The British made every effort to suborn his allegiance, offering promotion, honors and other rewards, but he remained loyal to the American cause.

Elbert was given considerable freedom while being held prisoner, which was unusual given the typically harsh treatment of prisoners at the time. It is a family tradition, however, that this freedom exposed him to a plot upon his life. It was attributed to a gang of Tories who had every reason to dislike Elbert since he had been very active against them. Their plan was to have him killed by Indians. While strolling in the woods one day, Elbert encountered two Indians with guns aimed directly at him. He had always extended great kindness to the Indians whenever he had had dealings with them in the past. He made a secret signal to them, and they recognized him as a friend.

The Patriot movement at Augusta petitioned the Continental Congress to offer Brigadier General James Inglis Hamilton in exchange for Elbert, and to arrange for his promotion to the rank of brigadier general in the Continental Army. This request was granted after the capture of Charleston by the British in 1780.

Elbert went immediately to George Washington's headquarters in the north. General Washington was elated to accept Elbert's services, and at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781, Elbert was given command of a brigade. While at Yorktown, he made a lasting friendship with a young French general, the Marquis de Lafayette. This friendship continued after war's end, and these two men maintained a friendly correspondence for many years. Such was Elbert's admiration for Lafayette that he named one of his sons after him.

In 1782, the General Assembly of Georgia chose Elbert, General Lachlan McIntosh, Edward Telfair and a number of other prominent Georgians to serve as commissioners at a conference with the Creek and Cherokee Indians regarding their title to certain Georgia lands. A meeting took place at Augusta in May 1783. In a May 31 treaty, the Cherokee ceded a tract between the Tugaloo and Oconee Rivers. According to Hugh McCall's The History of Georgia, Before the conference had ended, the news reached Georgia that a peace treaty had been concluded between Great Britain and her former colonies.

Postwar activities
Many honors were bestowed upon Samuel Elbert. He was elected Sheriff of Chatham County and chosen Vestryman for Christ Church, the first church in the new nation to organize a Sunday school. In 1784, he was selected as one of five delegates from the Society of the Cincinnati, an organization comprising officers who had fought in the Revolution. The same year, he was elected to the General Assembly of Georgia to be a delegate to the United States Congress. This latter honor he was forced to refuse, because he felt, after the long rigors of war, his physical condition was not at its best.

Governor of Georgia
When the General Assembly of Georgia convened at Savannah on January 4, 1785, Samuel Elbert was elected governor of the state, to succeed John Houstoun. Elbert had not sought this honor and he asked for time to give the matter his earnest consideration. On January 7, 1785, Elbert appeared before the House, and formally accepted the honor, saying in part: I shall ever be sensible of the honor you have conferred on me, in appointing me Chief Magistrate of the State of Georgia. It must, in the highest degree, be flattering to me, that my conduct as a soldier through our last glorious struggle, has met the approbation of my Country; and rest assured that it will be my study as a citizen to merit the confidence you have reposed in me. I firmly rely on the concurrence and support of your Honorable House in every measure that will secure the citizens in their just rights and privileges and which may be conducive to the welfare of the State.

In January, 1785, an unusual piece of legislature was passed by the General Assembly for the regular establishment and support of religion in Georgia, mixing Church and State matters. Though governors at that time had no power to vote, Elbert and succeeding governors who found the legislation untenable, ignored it, as stated in the Digest of the Laws of Georgia.

As governor, Samuel Elbert was intensely interested in educational and cultural matters. Along with another prominent advocate of education, Abraham Baldwin, Elbert persuaded the Georgia House to pass a bill supporting the "full and complete establishment of Public seminaries of learning". On January 27, 1785, the House granted a charter to Franklin College, later to become the University of Georgia, and Baldwin became the university's first president. Georgia thus became the first state to charter a state-supported university. The Savannah Morning News stated that this event was "... perhaps of more enduring and far-reaching importance and good than any other of this great man's notable career."

The matter of taxation came before Elbert early in April, 1785, when William Houston, Georgia's delegate to the United States Congress, wrote a letter informing him that New York and Georgia were the only states that had not conceded the right to levy these taxes – that feeling against Georgia in the national capital New York City at the time was very high, even going so far as to threaten to vote Georgia out of the Union. Undoubtedly, Elbert favored full cooperation with Congress, but governors of that did not wield the power that executives of later years were to possess, and Georgia did not accept the tax.

Personal life
Elbert and Elizabeth Rae had six children: Catherine, Elizabeth, Sara, Samuel de Lafayette, Matthew and Hugh Lee. That he was a kind and greatly beloved father to his children is evidenced in many records.

On November 6, 1788, the following obituary appeared in the Georgia Gazette, published in Savannah:

Died last Saturday, after a lingering sickness, age 48 years, SAMUEL ELBERT, Esq. Major General of the Militia of this state, Vice president of the Society of the Cincinnati, and Sheriff  of the County of Chatham. His death was announced by the discharge of minute guns and the colours of Fort Wayne, and vessels in the harbour being displayed at half mast high. An early and warm attachment to the cause of his country stimulated him to exert those natural talents he possessed for a military life, throughout the late glorious and successful contest, with ability and general approbation, for which he was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the Army of the United States. In the year 1785, his country chose him, by their general suffrage, Governor and Commander in chief of the State, which office he executed with fidelity and discharged its various duties with becoming attention and dignity. The appointments of Major General of the Militia and Sheriff of this county, were further marks of the confidence of his country, whose interests he had always at heart, and whose appointments he received and executed, with a grateful remembrance that his conduct through life had met the approbation of fellow citizens. In private life, he was among the first to promote useful and benevolent societies. As a Christian, he bore his painful illness with patience and firmness, and looked forward to his great change with an awful and fixed hope of future happiness. As a most affectionate husband and parent his widow and six children have great cause to lament his end, and the society in general to regret the loss of a valuable member. His remains were attended to on Sunday to Christ Church by the ancient society of the Masons, (of which he was the Passed (sic) Grand Master in this state) with the members of the Cincinnati as mourners, accompanied by a great number of his other fellow citizens, whom the Rev. Mr. Lindsay addressed in a short but well adapted discourse on the solemn occasion. Minute guns were fired during the funeral, and every other honor was paid his memory, by a respectable military procession, composed of the Artillery and other Militia Companies. The body was afterwards deposited at the family burial place on the Mount at Rae’s Hall.

Honors

Much of the credit for awakening interest in Georgia's Revolutionary heroes is due to the efforts of William Harden, former longtime librarian of the Georgia Historical Society at Savannah. His interest inspired the Sons of the American Revolution to appoint a committee to locate Samuel Elbert's grave. The grave site was eventually found on an Indian mound overlooking the Savannah River. In a letter to the editor of the Atlanta Journal & Constitution dated May 9, 1971, John L. Sutlive, former editor of the Savannah Evening Press, stated the discovery of Elbert's grave was somewhat accidental. Working on the Rae plantation many years ago, workmen uncovered some bones thought to be those of an Indian, but the fact that there were some military buttons with the skeleton came to the attention of General Robert J. Travis, who rescued them, realizing that they were the remains of Governor Elbert. He kept them in a crate under his desk until reburial arrangements could be made.

On March 24, 1924, Samuel and Elizabeth Rae Elbert were re-interred in Colonial Park Cemetery in Savannah. Once again, honors were paid to this man in a military funeral by units from the Army, Navy and National Guard.

Elbert County and the town of Elberton were named for him. There is also an Elbert Ward and an Elbert memorial in Savannah. In 1971 a private school named the Samuel Elbert Academy was chartered in Elberton, Georgia. Many markers have been set up by the Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution, the Society of Masons and the Georgia Historical Commission honoring Samuel Elbert.

Green Road railway station

Green Road is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 13+1/2 mi north-west of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the civil parish of Millom Without in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

Green Road has been adopted since 1981 and is currently a member of Northern Trains' station adoption scheme. The station has won a number of awards for its gardens.

Facilities
The station is not staffed but has now been provided with a ticket vending machine (card only) to allow intending travellers to buy tickets before boarding. The brick main building is not in public use, but there are waiting shelters on each side. Step-free access to both platforms is via ramps from the road that crosses the railway here (the automated level crossing is immediately to the south of the station). Train running information is provided by posters, digital display screens and telephone.

Services
Monday to Saturdays there is a roughly hourly service each way, southbound to Barrow-in-Furness and northbound to Millom. Most daytime northbound trains continue to Whitehaven and Carlisle.

A Sunday service was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change – this runs hourly from mid-morning until the evening (though certain trains only run as far as Millom). This is the first such service on the Coast line for more than forty years.

Talk:Moviefone

The article right now misses what Moviefone actually is all about. --Abdull 10:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

It states right in the page what Moviefone is. A telephone and website service allowing users to search for movie info and showtimes. --Kc12286

I'm curious if anyone knows how Moviefone determines what theaters are closest to you. My results are always counter-intuitive. RB McLeroy 14:16, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Generally, it seems like they do that by having you type in your zip code. I just did a search and it didn't bring up the theater closest to me. That may just be an error in their system.

The first section of this article seems like advertising, which is forbidden by Wikipedia policy. Would it be okay for someone to add current interest rates and toll-free application phone number to the entry on American Express? Brianmacian 18:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure what your issue is with the article. It is the most popular site and phone service for movie tickets, showtimes, etc. I don't believe there is a toll free number, you just dial your area code and the number.kc12286 16:33, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Proof
"... Moviefone is the United States' most popular movie listing and information service ..."

Is there any data to back this up? Otherwise, this just comes off as an advertisement for AOL Moviefone and should be reworded or removed. Cowicide 20:37, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

more depth
Good start on an article. And if it had more depth it could be a good article. It would be interesting to have more info on what kind of technology they are using. I searched a little but to no avail. They likely use some PBX system but which one —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toritaiyo (talk • contribs) 02:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Samir Hanna
No idea if it's true that Samir Hanna is the new voice of Moviefone. In 2001 I thought Leatherman was still providing the voice of the service, and it still SOUNDS like him. A quick google search doesn't pull up anything about Samir Hanna relating to Moviefone -- this is possible vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.64.199.172 (talk) 03:09, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

How is Josie and the Pussycats (film) not mentioned in the "in media" section of this article? The subliminal messaging voice in the movie is Mr. Moviefone, which is blatantly pointed out several times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.59.239.3 (talk) 21:41, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Millom railway station

Millom is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 16 mi north-west of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the town of Millom in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

It was originally opened by the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway on 1 November 1850 as Holborn Hill. The station's name was changed to Millom for Holborn Hill on 1 August 1866, and Millom during the 1890s.

Until 1968, there was a short goods-only branch from here to the ironworks at Hodbarrow. This was abandoned after the works closed but the disused trackbed can still be seen from passing trains, whilst the old works site is now a nature reserve.

The station buildings also house Millom Heritage Museum And Visitor Centre (which runs the rail ticket office) and a small workshop offering furniture restoration.

Facilities
The booking office operates on a part-time basis (07:00–15:00, Mondays through Saturdays); outside these times tickets can be purchased from a vending machine on the southern side (as Northern have installed these at all stations on the route that didn't previously have them ). Information screens and posters provide train running details for passengers. Both platforms have separate step-free access and are linked via a footbridge.

Services
Monday to Saturdays, there is generally an hourly service southbound to Barrow-in-Furness and northbound to Carlisle (one terminates at Sellafield) - however there is no service northbound after 21:00, with the last few trains from Barrow terminating here. Some services extend from Barrow along the Furness Line to Lancaster and Preston.

Northern introduced a Sunday service from the station (for the first time since 1976) from the summer 2018 timetable change. This runs broadly hourly from mid-morning until early evening.

Silecroft railway station

Silecroft is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 19 mi north-west of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the villages of Kirksanton and Silecroft in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

The station is located to the west of the 1970 ft Black Combe Fell. It was opened, along with the line, on 1 November 1850 by the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway.

The railway station is a request stop, and one of the many level crossings on this section of the route is controlled from the signal box at its south end.

Some through trains to the Furness Line towards Lancaster stop here.

Facilities
The station is unstaffed, but like many others on this route had a ticket vending machine installed in 2019 to allow passengers to buy tickets before boarding. There are shelters, digital information screens and timetable posters on each platform, along with a telephone for obtaining train running details. Level access is available to both platforms, but these are lower than standard and need portable steps for entry or exit from the train (so the station is not suitable for wheelchair users).

Services
Monday to Saturdays there is generally an hourly request service southbound to Barrow and northbound towards Whitehaven and Carlisle, although there are one or two longer gaps at certain times of day.

A Sunday service was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change, along with additional evening trains on weekdays. The Sunday service is the first to be provided here for more than 40 years.

Talk:Timeline of 21st-century Muslim history

Sign your posts on talk pages

It is proper Wikiquette to sign your posts on Talk pages. This is an essential aspect of communication here. It helps other users understand the progress and evolution of a dialog. WP:SIG

Suicide bombing
This page says it's a timeline of muslim history, but it seems to be a timeline of terrorist attacks and suicide bombings. Is this really relevant to the history of Islam? -Kaputa12

Withdrawal from Gaza
Please stop adding information about the Israeli withdrawl from Gaza. This is a timeline is Islamic history, not Israeli-Palestinian history. The withdrawl has nothing to do with Islam.
 * Please stop vandalizing this page. This page includes significant events relating to Islamic history in the 21st Century. As well as it is not an article about Iraqi history, or Saudi Arabian history, those events are included as well due to their significance in the Islamic World. The withdrawal from Gaza is similarly significant. — Linnwood 06:50, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Perhaps it needs to be reworded to reflect the signifigance of the withdrawl on Islamic history. As it stands, I can see how many can interprept the event as irrelevant to Islamic history. Sasquatch   讲  看  07:54, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * The withdrawal of Israel from Gaza is significant to Palestinian history, but it does not have religious significance, nor does it reflect any broader implications for the global Islamic community as other history events listed in this century do. Additionally, the withdrawal has not prompted clashes between settlers and soldiers as whomever is editing this page suggests.

 * If you're going to insist and adding information on the Israeli withdrawl from Gaza, at least state it as it relates to the context of Islamic history. Also, do not add false information. Despite the high emotions of those in Gaza, there were no violent clashes between settlers and soldiers.
 * The text you keep removing is "Israel closes settlements in the Gaza Strip, prompting clashes between Israeli troops and Jewish settlers." The word "violent" was not used. But to say there were not "clashes" would be a falsehood. While many of the settlers left peacfully, many resisted, forcing IDF to drag them out. One temple require IDF to storm it, dropping soilders on the roof in cargo containers. As for 'broader implications for the global Islamic community' I don't know how you can say it does not. I am once agian reverting the article to include the item. Do not remove it unless you can show why it should not be included and a concensus is reached. — Linnwood 01:49, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 1. The sovereignty of Gaza, the West Bank, and many occupied areas are in dispute and do not hold any particular religious claims stronger than any others. 2.  The Palestinians, while largely Islamic, are not defined by religion, as there is a relative large population of Christians within the Palestinian community, thus making the issue of Palestinian sovereignty not part of Islamic history, but merely an issue of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.  3.  There were NO clashes between Israeli troops and Jewish settlers.  A clash, by definition, implies violence and use of force.  The only thing even remotely close to a clash would be passive resistance, much of which was symbolic and not intended as a sign of dissent.   153.104.16.114 04:14, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

2003: War in Iraq
I am outraged someone would change the Islamically significant description of the War in Iraq, as it related to the Sunni Musil, Shi'a Muslim and Kurdish populations in exchange for a politically charged statement. The sections on Islam were removed, in place of "no Weapons of Mass Destruction have been found," which, true or not, has nothing to do with Islam. Do not change it again.

 * Go read the timelines for the 7th-20th centuries. They all detail POLITICAL and HISTORICAL events in the Muslim World (wars, the rise and fall of empires and regimes, etc.) that do not necessarily have anything to do with Islam. The war in Iraq is no different. If you think only "Islamically significant" events should be listed, then go delete all the events you deem Islamically insignificant from the previous timelines (good luck). Furthermore, the description is not "politically charged", it simply lays out the essential facts in a succint manner. The main justification put forth for the war was that Iraq had WMD. It is now apparent that Iraq did not have WMD. These are facts. I have not said "Bush lied", or "the United States used WMD as a pretext to invade Iraq"; I've included only factual statements. Issues related to Saddam favoring Sunnis and the war leading to greater influence for Shias and Kurds, etc. are largely peripheral. Even if your assertion that only "Islamically significant" events should be mentioned, I fail to see how this information is "Islamically significant". Saddam himself was a staunch secularist. He favored Sunnis only because Sunnis were a distinct political faction and he was from that political faction. They may as well have been Africans for all it matters. Islamic identity or Sunni/Shia doctrine had nothing to do with the Ba'athist regime's autocratic policies. And Kurds are not even a religous sect anyway; Kurdish is an ethnicity, not a religion. What's important is noting that a war was fought, the reason why it was fought, and the aftermath of the war in the context of the reason why it was fought.

 * Political and Historical events are certainly important, however, this is not the proper venue for political debate and revisionist history. The primary goal of this timeline is to show how events have affected the Islamic community.  Do not edit the information on the Iraq War again.  If you wish discuss the justification and aftermath of the invasion of Iraq, there are more than enough pages on Wikipedia to do so. 153.104.16.114 17:37, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The jury is still out on how the Iraq War has affected the Islamic community; just as you have focused on how the war apparently evened the balance of influence between the three main factions in the country, I can focus on how the War created a dangerous and volatile situation on the ground, strengthened terrorist groups, increased distrust and hostility towards the US in the Muslim World, etc. But such commentary would be POV, just as yours is. These things are subjective by their very nature, which is why it's important to focus only on facts. Your explanation is not convincing; the old information will go back up. User:BalancingAct 11:22, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * My description is from an Islamic Historical point of view, not a secular partisan point of view. The bottom line is there is a choice between a descriptive analysis, related to the context of this timeline, and a short statement meant only to spark political arguments.  Do not change the information again. 153.104.16.114 17:43, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * As I said, the jury is still out on what the objective effects of this war will be. And I don't know how you decided that discussing the balance of power between the Sunnis, Kurds, and Shias is related to the context of this timeline but discussing the reason for the war is not. An objective description of a war should stick to the facts, not toe the pro-war line. I'm changing it back; don't change it again untill you're willing to discuss a compromise. User:BalancingAct 14:45, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The purpose of this timeline is not to justify or debunk any war. My description outlines the impact on the local Islamic community, the other description invoked partisan political debate.  I have the NPOV rules of Wikipedia on my side, what do you have on yours besides blind conviction? 153.104.16.114 02:26, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, so if we want to talk about the war's "impact on the local Islamic community" then why focus on these effects? Why not note how the war has lead to such a volatile security situation in Iraq, how terrorist groups have been strengthened by it, how distrust and hostility towards the United States have increased in the Muslim World because of it, etc.? Those are all pretty significant ways in which the war "impacted the local Islamic community". Why only highlight how the balance of power between the various factions has been evened (which in itself is debatable; Iraq doesn't even have a constitution yet and its government is far from stable)? The fact of the matter is that there's no objective reason to focus on this one factor to the exclusion of all others. Toeing the pro-War line does not make your description neutral. Also, it would be helpful if you explained exactly how you feel Wikipedia's NPOV guidelines support your point, rather than just stating that they do. BalancingAct 00:48, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Edit war
Firstly.... want to create usernames?

User:68.40.239.142, weapons of destruction have little to do with Islamic history... Sunni/Shia Islamic sectarian/ethnicity struggles has a lot more to do with it. User:153.104.16.114, "ouster" is not a word.... Compromise maybe? gren グレン 20:34, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Ouster isn't a word? Perhaps you should contact the folks at dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=67&q=ouster) and inform them. 153.104.16.114 02:24, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Touché. I didn't read the definite article, but your polite rebuttal has made me cherish working with you all the more.  In any case, the weapons of mass destruction thing still has no relevance and keeping this article in a constant state of flux serves no purpose really. gren グレン 08:49, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Pardon, just weary, not trying to be overly argumentative. I think you make some good points in your above posts.

 * User:68.40.239.142, I understand that there are political developments that are not necessarily Islamic involved in this and other timelines... the difference is the weapons of mass destruction are a US political matter that is why they don't belong here. 153.104.16.114 I think that Linwood's additions about the Gaza strip settlements are much more relevant than the WMD thing.  Because the Gaza settlements imply increased PA activity and combined with the recent Egyptian move to support the creation of a Palestinian state in Gaza it is notable to the Islamic world... whereas what the US's motives for war and their inner political debates isn't.

 * I have problems with both editions... I'm going to take my stab at some balance... it can't hurt. gren グレン 09:03, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Explaining my edit: I think both edits had irrelevant information. 68's mentioned "no WMDs were found".... that doesn't particularly matter.... 153's had US' motives for going... that doesn't particularly matter either. For a fully fleshed out discussion of that you can see the 2003 invasion of Iraq page. My version simplifies it to tlak about the simple fact that an American led group took out Ba'athist Saddam leading to an Iraq with more Shia / Kurd control. Those are just facts, they talk about Islamic issues and are what is most important here. gren グレン 09:11, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Please understand, I did not intend to champion the pro-war message, nor did I intend to enflame the political ideologues of Wikipedia. I felt the justification (legitimate or not) used would be proper background information, especially years from now when the war isn't fresh in everyone's mind.  Your point is well, taken, however and your edit is probably what's best for now.  Your modifications are acceptable. Well done.   Additionally, I am not fully opposed to any mention of the Israeli withdrawl from Gaza in this article, however, I am opposed to one which makes no mention of the Islamic implications and also includes false information.  Perhaps a more in depth mention of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in this century is required, beyond just the recent settlement dismantlings. 153.104.16.114 12:07, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I am willing to compromise, but I still think that mention of Saddam favoring Sunni Muslims and "greater power for Shias/Kurds" should not be made. It's simply too early to state this as a definitive fact (as I mentioned, Iraq doesn't even have a constitution yet, and its government is far from well-established). And like it or not, such statements do make the description seem slanted toward the pro-War POV, since this is EXACTLY what the US and Britain claim that the war acheived while their detractors focus on the negative effects. I won't re-add info about the WMD, but I will delete mention of Saddam favoring Sunnis or the post-war power balance. BalancingAct 00:48, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * You're not willing to compromise, you're willing to remove significant information to suit your political agenda. No one disputes the Ba'ath party in Iraq gave the vast majority of political power to Sunnis.  No one disputes the Shi'a have a majority in the current legislature with the Kurdish minority also well represented.  The US and Britain don't "claim" this to be true, it is an accepted fact.  Do not edit the timeline again. 153.104.16.114 17:05, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh, I have a political agenda? No one disputes that the security situation in Iraq was a lot better under Saddam. No one disputes that violent attacks by extremists have increased tenfold since the war. No one seriously disputes that this war was overwhelmingly opposed across the Muslim World and increased Muslim distrust and hostility towards the United States. These equally important effects are also "accepted fact", why don't we put them in as well? Because it would be inappropriate and slanted. Oh, but it's okay to focus on the apparently positive effects of the war, the same effects that are used by the war's proponents to argue that it was just and necessary. Great logic. No political agenda there. I'm taking out your biased info and leaving simply the description. I think that's reasonable. Do not change it again. BalancingAct 00:03, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

 * You've already exposed yourself as an anti-war zealot. Take it somewhere else, at least go to an article where your opinion would be relevant.  I have a consensus and Wikipedia policy on my side.

 * Great logic. Either defend your position in a civilized manner using logic and reason (not childish ad hominem attacks), or don't change the description again. Also, if you feel you have a Wikipedia policy on your side, it would be nice if you cited to a specific clause, like an educated person would. BalancingAct 11:19, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Explain yourself, or don't change the description again. BalancingAct 12:55, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Because of your failure to provide an explanation for your repeated vandalism, I have added a request for mediation in reference to this page. BalancingAct 16:32, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I have explained the information I've added numerous times on this page, it is you who have not thoroughly explained (through any legitimate, neutral, means) why you insist on removing important contextual information. This is a timeline of Islamic history, the impact of the war on Islamic sects is relevant and important. Do not remove this information again. 153.104.16.114 23:29, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * This war had many effects, each of which is cited by its proponents and opponents in support of their respective positions. Anti-war commentators point to the surge in violence and extremism in Iraq, the coalition's failure to find evidence of weapons of mass destruction, and damage to the United States' and United Kingdom's reputation in the Muslim World to argue that the war was unjustified, whereas their opponents point to democracy in Iraq and greater freedom and influence for Shi'as and Kurds to argue the opposite. Your focus on the latter effects (which are not undeniably more important the the former) tend to give the description a pro-War tint. Furthermore, all wars have positive and negative consequences. Shi'as and Kurds receiving political representation proportionate with their number is a positive consequence of the war. But it wasn't the reason the war was carried out, nor is it undisputably the most important consequence of the war, nor is it undisputably the issue that has garnered the most attention in post-war media or academic commentary and discussion. The positive and negative consequences of this war and the ways in which it has impacted Iraqis and the Muslim World at large could fill an encyclopedia. In historical terms, this war happened yeaterday; we won't know what the long-term effects of it will be for a while. At this point, I think it is best to just limit the description to the objective facts and let history decide what the single most important consequence of the war was. Pending mediation, I have changed the description to "Iraq War". Please do not change it again until we have this dispute resolved. BalancingAct 20:49, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

 * You're still missing the point. This is not an article about the Iraq War, it is an article about the history of Islam.  While the war in Iraq was not fought for religious purposes, there is an outcome for the local Islamic community which is what I was expressing in my summary on the timeline.  Regardless, we'll wait and see what the mediators think. 153.104.16.114 03:20, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

 * See, but that is the point: it's too early to comment on what that outcome is. We're only two years removed from the war; at this point, anyone can highlight one or two effects and isolate them as the outcome for the Islamic community in order portray the war in a positive/negative light. It will be a few years before we can look back and point to one effect of the war and say, "the Iraq War resulted in X." BalancingAct 1:00, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

May I suggest some things here. Will those without usernames get them in an attempts to make mediation and everything easier. Would you also start exploring wikipedia. The majority of most of your edits are on this article... why you would come just to argue about this article I don't understand. If you can be productive in ohter parts of the encyclopedia it will give a better sense to mediators and others. gren グレン 17:06, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I've been frequenting and enjoying Wikipedia for a long time, I've just never felt the need to edit any article until I came across this one. Additionally, my IP changes from time to time. 153.104.16.114 00:14, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Mediation Pending
Linnwood, please refrain from editing the section on the Iraq War until the mediation has been completed. 153.104.16.114 16:13, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

The mediation is taking too long. I propose we resume the edit war. 153.104.16.114 16:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

How about we just leave it the way it is? BalancingAct 10:34, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

That's fine too. 153.104.16.114 20:00, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Worries
Is anyone else worried that this page, given its completely arbitrary curation, is manifesting itself as an inherently biased view of what constitutes encyclopedic "history" of Muslim society, culture, and politics? Looking at the complete gap between 2014 and 2018 should give anyone pause. Are we as Wikipedians suggesting that nothing of note happened in the Muslim world for three straight years? I would back anyone's proper nomination of this to just be deleted. - Wacomshera (talk) 02:14, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Flag of Udmurtia

The Flag of Udmurtia is one of the official state symbols of Udmurtia. The proportion of width and length of the flag is 1:2. It is a rectangular three-color cloth consisting of vertical equal stripes of black, white and red (from left to right) with an eight-pointed red cross. The black colour in the flag is a symbol of the earth and stability, red means the sun and life and white means a space and moral purity. The designer of the flag of the Udmurt Republic was Yuri Lobanov. The appropriate law N26-РЗ "On the National Flag of the Udmurt Republic" appeared on April 30, 2002.

The emblem
The cross/star symbol represents the solar sign, a protective symbol that according to folklore protects man from misfortunes. The cross does not overlap the black and red stripes, and its size is such that it fits within a square whose side is equal to 5/6 of the width of one of the vertical stripes of the flag. The width of the vertical and horizontal cross-bars of the solar sign is equal to one third of the side of this imaginary square. Each arm ends with two symmetrical teeth, the internal sides of which form a 90-degree angle where they meet, a vertex deepened towards the center of the sign at 1/2 arm width.

As the Udmurt ASSR
The first flag of the Udmurt ASSR was described in the first Constitution of the Udmurt ASSR, which was adopted by the Central Executive Committee of the Udmurt ASSR on 14 March 1937, at the 2nd Extraordinary Congress of Soviets of the Udmurt ASSR. The flag was similar to the flag of the Russian SFSR at that time. The flag was a red flag, with the yellow inscription "RSFSR" in the left corner of the flag, and the inscription "Udmurt A.S.S.R." in Russian and Udmurt.

On March 29, 1954, by the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Udmurt ASSR, a new state flag of the Udmurt ASSR was adopted, which was approved by the Law of the Udmurt ASSR of July 8, 1954. The flag is still similar with the flag of the RSFSR. The flag had a length-to-width ratio of one to two (1:2). The flag was a red flag, with a light-blue stripe at the pole extending all the height which constitutes $1⁄8$ length of the flag. In the upper corner of the flag, there was a hammer and sickle. Below the hammer and sickle were the letters “УАССР” in yellow.

The inscriptions changed after the adoption of a new constitution on May 31, 1978. The inscription “УАССР” was changed with the inscription "Udmurt ASSR" in Russian and Udmurt languages.

Pre-national revival flag
Prior to the national revival in Udmurtia, the national movements in the Udmurt ASSR used a white flag with red and black stripes on the bottom edge, with a black ideogram on a white field. The flag was designed by Kasim Galikhanov.

National revival
During the glasnost period in the Soviet Union, many of the ASSRs in the Soviet Union began a process of national revival. In Udmurtia itself, the first official flag of Udmurtia was adopted in the 1st All-Union Congress of the Udmurts, organized by the Society of the Udmurt Culture. The flag consisted of three horizontal stripes - red, black and white. The flag was based on a famous poem by Udmurt national poet V. Vladykin Why does a tyuragai sing (Отчего поёт тюрагай). There are three great colors: Red, black, and white. The sun is red The earth is black The white light covers all.

Proposed flags
Designs by V. Kovalchukov and E. Shumilov which sought to combine the Udmurt national colours with the Russian tricolour.

Other designs
Extra designs for the Udmurt flag by Yuri Lobanov. The current flag was among many similar designs submitted by Lobanov.

Bootle railway station

Bootle is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 24 mi north-west of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the village of Bootle in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

History
The Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway was authorised in 1847 for a line which would link the town of Whitehaven with the Furness Railway at Broughton-in-Furness. It was opened in stages, and the section between Ravenglass and Bootle opened on 8 July 1850. The last section between Bootle and Broughton-in-Furness was opened for passenger services 1 November 1850, with trains carrying Lord Lonsdale and invited guests having travelled over the section on at least two occasions in October.

Facilities
The station had a coal depot, a goods yard with a shed and 5 ton crane, the yard was able to accommodate live stock, horse and cattle vans. The station was host to a LMS caravan in 1936.

It has retained its main buildings, being the stationmaster's house waiting rooms and restrooms but these are now two private residences and the station is unstaffed. The station clock is original and still works.

The buildings are built from red granite and sandstone. Originally the design was used on many of the stations on the Cumbrian Coast Line but today only three exist. This one, Drigg and Ravenglass.

There were no ticket facilities prior to 2019, but a ticket vending machine has now been installed by Northern to allow passenger to buy before boarding.

Shelters are present on both platforms, with the wooden one on the northbound side being the more substantial of the two.

A level crossing with hand-operated gates (and supervising signal box) links the platforms, which both have step-free access from the road.

The signal box c. 1874 is a Furness Railway Type 1 design and retains a London Midland Region lever frame of 15 levers installed in 1977. and was listed in November 2013 under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as amended for its special architectural or historic interest.

Train running information can be obtained by telephone, digital display screens or from timetable posters.

Services
Monday to Saturdays there is generally an hourly (with some longer gaps in the early morning and afternoon) request service southbound to Barrow and northbound towards Whitehaven and Carlisle. Some services continue beyond Barrow via the Furness line to Lancaster. The timetable now operates later into the evening than before since the summer 2018 timetable came into effect.

A Sunday service (broadly hourly each way from late morning until 19:00) now operates - this was introduced at the May 2018 timetable change.

Explosion on 22 March 1945
At about 22:17 on 22 March 1945 a wagon containing depth charges in a southbound freight train caught fire on approaching Bootle. The train crew, driver H. Goodall and fireman Herbert Norman Stubbs, on becoming aware of the fire, stopped the train south of Bootle station. Despite the fierce fire, the crew isolated the burning wagon by uncoupling the rear portion of the train, then drawing it forward to before uncoupling the burning wagon. With the wagon isolated, the fireman went forward to protect the northbound line while the driver went back in a possible attempt to fight the fire. At this point the depth charges violently exploded, killing the driver and creating a crater 105 feet long to a depth of 50 feet. The line was closed for three days whilst the crater was filled in and the track relaid.

Stubbs was subsequently awarded the George Medal and the Order of Industrial Heroism.

Talk:Ray Manzarek

Influence
added a tidbit about his influence on keyboardists, in almost all music circles he is highly regarded as one of the best keyboardists of all time. To leave the majority of this article about his post doors work i felt would be to diminish his contribution to what remains one of the greatest bands of all time. --Cptbuck 22:30, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * While I do not doubt the veracity of the above commentator; from a musician's point of view Manzarek is definitely not a very good keyboard player. To crown Manzarek a virtuoso(!) -- a title to which he has slim to no merit -- is something that belongs in a hagiography, not an encyclopedic article. A fine musician? Sure. A virtuoso? Nope. "Highly regarded as one of the best keyboardists of all time"? Not a chance. Tirolion (talk) 19:32, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

No photo?
Is it just me or has wikipedia totally gone down the tubes? Somebody should get a photo of this legend a.s.a.p.

Bruno Michelotti
The text says he studied with Bruno Michelotti. Who is that? It's a fairly obscure name so there should be something in the text that explains who he is. I don't know anything about him except that he was a piano and theory teacher who taught Ray Manazarek as well as jazz great Jim McNeely. Could we have a sentence or two to say who he is or people will think he's a famous person they don't happen to recognize. You run into this sort of problem on Wikipedia all the time. 75.48.22.62 (talk) 21:29, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Where does he live?
Article says he relocated to "San Francisco" after remodeling a house in "Napa" (which is 50 miles from SF). Now its possible that he does live in SF and has a house in Napa as well, but the article is very unclear about it.

Date of birth
According to various interviews, Manzarek was born either in 1935, 1939, or 1941. The Rock'n'roll Hall of Fame gives 1935 as the year when "Ray Manzarek was born", and Ray's photos with The Doors show a man in his thirties. All of this may mean that Manzarek was uncomfortable about his age and tried to conceal it. --AlexMyltsev 19:09, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I wonder whether it will finally be revealed that his year of birth was actually 1935. Nothing so far has seemingly come to light, but I suspect it will within the next few days.  Bless him anyway.

 * Derek R Bullamore (talk) 23:29, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Bass pedals
"Many falsely percieved that he played bass pedals, but the bass lines that aren't bass guitar that you hear on songs by The Doors, are much too diffucult for bass pedals."

I don't think there should be a comma after "The Doors." Commas are used to break-up clauses in sentences. The reader should be able to remove the section that reads "but the basslines that aren't bass guitar that you hear on the songs by The Doors" without creating a nonsensical sentence. That is not the case. Also, "diffucult" is misspelt.
 * ya know, if you see a brief sentence that could be rewritten, it's probably not necessary to stick it on the talk page. Joeyramoney 23:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Trivia: Cassandra Michael
Hi. I'm going to remove the trivia bit that claims that Ray Manzarek is dating someone called Cassandra Michael. Ray is a happily married man of 40 years standing (married to Dorothy). Such gossip - shocking! lol. Seriously, until sourced, such malicious rumours are just plain libelous! If someone else can source it, then please put it back in with sourcing of course. Thanks!

Manzarek's movie
I don't see a mention of Manzarek's debut as film director and co-screenwriter, fulfilling a lifelong ambition of his since his film school days when he met Jim Morrison: "Love Her Madly" (2000). From Manzarek's web site: "directed by and mated to a soundtrack scored by Doors keyboard wizard, Ray Manzarek, Love Her Madly christens a new millennial genre; hip-hop Hitchcock." (http://www.raymanzarek.us/madly2.html) According to IMDB: 1.9 stars, "Truly awful." As the title at least came from a Doors song, I wonder if this movie should be mentioned on the Doors band article as well. From Manzarek's site: "In fact, Love Her Madly brings together Manzarek's musical and movie dreams. It's somewhat of a Morrison tribute, given that it's based on one of his short stories and offers new insight into the meaning of the Doors' hit by the same title." On Amazon.com: a pair of 1 star reviews, one starts: "This movie is simply a vehicle for Ray Manazarik to yet again exploit his association with The Doors. It was painful to watch and if it weren't for the 34B's that were shown abundantly throughout the movie I don't think that I would have made it to the end credits. This is softporn masked as a serious independant film from a man who should know better." There's also a single five star review: "This film is a great piece of work by Ray. It was well written, screen cast was great and needless to say, the music was well played. I won't tell anything of the movie except that it is well worth watching." Not enough reviews for a RottenTomatoes.com rating. VisitorTalk 18:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

use of quotes in describing his organ
I think the use of quotes is redundant when talking about his organ--sticked and down. Those terms are common words for what was occurring. If someone feels a need to use a quote for the article's integrity, it would make more sense to use a full quote with a citation rather than using single quoted words. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.201.152.216 (talk) 22:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

instruments
ray also can play guitar, or he wouldn't do so for six minutes on a track of this album:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_in_Boston_(Doors_album)

he also played lead on a reprise of carol in another concert, don#t remember which at the moment.

so guitar should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.196.240.184 (talk) 08:56, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Basketball
"... but he only wanted to play power forward or center." Maybe that means something, but since I know nothing about the game, I find it only confusing and slightly annoying. Can we have those terms hypertexted so the millions upon millions of people who do not know basketball can be informed. There's a certain provincialism in this sort of mistake that rankles me. 75.48.22.62 (talk) 21:34, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Trivia section
This has been highlighted as Trivia since 2009, so I have removed it. Parked here until further notice.

 * His birth name was Raymond Daniel Manczarek. The c was dropped in 1966 when he, Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore signed with Elektra as The Doors.
 * Ray wore (and still wears) glasses that are typical of the 1960s.
 * In Oliver Stone's biopic The Doors, Manzarek was played by Kyle MacLachlan. Ray has gone on record as saying he enjoyed the performance although he despised the movie, calling it "insidious" in his book.
 * The first Doors album included a cover of "Alabama Song," from a 1930s German opera called The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. This cover resulted from Manzarek's playing a record of that opera, sung by Lotte Lenya, to Jim Morrison, and suggesting that The Doors do a rock version of the song.
 * The solos in "Light My Fire" are based on John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things." Other examples: a Thelonious Monk line from "Straight, No Chaser" appears in "We Could Be So Good Together", the opening organ passage of "When The Music's Over" is inspired by Herbie Hancock's "Canteloupe Island," and finally the organ solo in "Take It As It Comes" is inspired by Bach. During a May 2006 public performance, Manzarek named Erik Satie as an influence.
 * He is known for playing the keyboard while shaking his head and not looking at the keys.
 * In a televised interview, Manzarek advised listeners to "open the doors of consciousness... but stay away from white powder!"
 * He played "some Psychedelic Guy from the Sixties" in Body or Brain's music video Be What You Can Be" --BweeB (talk) 20:05, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

"Find-A-Grave"
I have removed an attempt to include this external link for a second time. It is fairly easy to prove that this site falls under the first point of WP:ELNEVER. The images of Manzarek (particularly the older one) are not owned by the uploader at "Find-A-Grave", and they have absolutely no authority to proclaim the following: "Once photos have been posted, feel free to use them as you wish - photo credit isn't necessary." This site hosts copyrighted material that they have no right to, and consequently no article on Wikipedia should have this site as an external link. Doc  talk  22:49, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not opining if the link belongs or not, but Template:Find a Grave addresses the issue to determine if it is appropriate or not (it appears to be on a case by case basis.) Links to copyvios are definitely not allowed, which may be the case with this article. Bahooka (talk) 22:58, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Not only is it a copyvio, the clown who uploaded is is illegally making it "free to use". Atrocious, and a perfect example of why this site is garbage: they allow it to happen. Linking to them reflects poorly on us, IMHO. Doc  talk  23:04, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Ray Manzarek had a net worth of $25 million dollars at the time of his death.
Last spotted playing his heart out in a downtown pub located in Mobile Alabama Feb 4th 2001."He seemed down on his luck having succumbed to playing for pennies"

The Doors were a "democratic" band and split the money four ways. I'm sure the sale of Doors records kept him well off. Maybe Ray just liked playing. 74.12.78.254 (talk) 15:01, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

The House of the Spirit Levels

The House of the Spirit Levels was a six-part radio comedy series written by, and starring, Nick Revell. It was a surrealist satire on big business and Northern family sagas with Revell playing the long-lost son of the Hardstaffe family who gets caught up in their business machinations. It was told in flashback from South America and did not end happily.

It is occasionally rebroadcast on the digital channel BBC Radio 4 Extra.

It was adapted into a novel by Revell, published in 1998, which was praised by The Times as "bizarre but more-ish" with Revell's "jokes mostly funny and his characters engaging".

Two Pulitzers in the Same Year
The first paragraph of the article states, "It has won twelve Pulitzer Prizes since 1964, and in 2009, won two in a single year for the first time in its history." However, the chart at the end of the article shows it winning 19 Pulitzer prizes, including two in 1999. Am I missing something here? Captrobb (talk) 16:48, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

 * hello Captrobb, and it makes sense. I didn't realize it at first either once you mentioned it, but the answer is that the newspaper has won nineteen awards; however twelve of those wins are from the Pulitzer Prize, while the other seven awards are from Sigma Delta Chi, Scripps Howard Foundation, and the Florida Society of News Editors, which the two in 1999 were from Sigma Delta Chi. Hope this helped!  Adog 104  Talk to me 17:02, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
