Raging Speedhorn

Raging Speedhorn are a British heavy metal band, founded in Corby, Northamptonshire.

Career
Raging Speedhorn were formed in 1998 from the merging of the bands Soulcellar and Box. The band quickly established itself as a major presence within the UK's metal scene.

Raging Speedhorn featured two vocalists, a style largely inspired by the UK hardcore band Hard to Swallow (which featured Bloody Kev who would join Raging Speedhorn as their second vocalist after the departure of Frank Regan in 2005). The band's first single, "Thumper" (produced by Marc Heal), was released in 2000 to significant critical acclaim. In 2001, they charted in the UK Singles Chart with "The Gush".

On early Raging Speedhorn recordings, the music can be characterised by pounding basslines, heavily distorted riff-thick guitarwork and subject content consisting generally (but certainly not exclusively) of hedonism, drug use, violence, antipathy for major band labels and depression.

Before the Sea Was Built was the only album the band produced with Larry Hibbitt, of Hundred Reasons. It was released on 11 September 2007 through Steamhammer, a subsidiary of SPV Records.

Tour dates were announced with Trophy Scars on 8 March 2008. Weeks later, on 25 March 2008, it was announced the band would split after a final tour. However, the tour was uncerimoniously canceled that same day reportedly due to an inability to confirm dates or properly promote. Members joined other bands elsewhere, including Cardiff, Wales, and Stockholm, Sweden. John Loughlin, Jay Thompson and Dave Thompson were in the metal band The Death of Us as of 2013.

On 18 February 2014, it was announced that the band would reform to perform at Damnation Festival in November 2014. Both John Loughlin and Frank Regan would feature on vocals, with the band showcasing tracks from their debut and sophomore albums. The band was also confirmed to play the UK leg of the 2014 Sonisphere festival.

On 3 July 2014, the band played a sold-out hometown show with support from The Darkhorse and Heart of a Coward as a warm-up prior to playing at Sonisphere two days later. On 7 July 2014, an eleven-date UK tour was announced.

In January 2016, the band recorded their new full-length record, Lost Ritual, with Russ Russell at the Parlour Studios in Kettering.

On 14 September 2018, it was announced that guitarists Jim Palmer and Jamie Thompson had left the band.

On 6 October 2018, the band performed a 20th-anniversary show at the Electric Ballroom in London with the original lineup (John Loughlin, Frank Regan, Gordon Morison, Tony Loughlin, Gareth Smith & Darren Smith).

On 19 December 2018, it was announced that James Palmer and Dave Leese had joined the band on guitars. It was announced in September 2019 that Daniel Cook would be replacing John Loughlin after 21 years.

For Mk, I am not sure if (1) the explanatory text should be in En or Mk and (2) if the text is gramatically correct at all. What do you think? Depending on your advice, I can set up the other three aptitude levels (N, 3, and 1). One can use the template by inserting it in one's own user page - the tag looks like this:

 * I see. A great feature. The text should be in Macedonian. The texts for the appropriate levels are the following: 1. Корисникот почетнички зборува македонски. 2. Корисникот средно зборува македонски. 3. Корисникот напредно зборува македонски. 4. Корисникот го зборува македонскиот јазик како мајчин јазик. Говори instead of зборува can also be used. I'm not sure which of these words is more gramatically and semantically appropriate, but зборува is more commonly used in Macedonia. Best regards. --FlavrSavr 17:35, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Hey, hi. I distinctly remember that you blancked the comment without copying and pasting at the bottom. I can't find that version, it looks like 40 posts were made since last night. So, I could be wrong. My beef was with your blanking, not with whatever you want to call yourself. AFIAK, there are some Greek Apes that need to get back up on their trees, because it was a bad idea for them to come down in the first place. Project2501a 10:43, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Considering the fact that international organizations do recognize people X as Macedonians
Logical fallacy. Just because a number of institutions call FYROM macedonia, it doesn't make it macedonia. did you notice i said "we should all use international trieties for naming"? Peace! :) Project2501a 23:25, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Alex & the Cyrillic Alphabet
This was probably four or five years ago. Someone had linked to it in a Yahoo! group forum. It was a Tripod or Geocities site, with the advertising sidebar and everything. It was very poorly designed. The section on the Macedonian alphabet had a picture of the famous mosaic of Alexander riding Bucephalus on top of the Macedonian Cyrillic alphabet. The caption read something like "Alexander Invented the Macedonian Alphabet, the Greatest Alphabet in the World." The rest of the site had similarly absurd claims. I thought it was a joke, but the person who posted it in the group seemed to be citing it in all earnestness as an authoritative source to back up something he was claiming, so at least one person out there believes it.

I tried Googling the site, but it's not coming up. I'd know it on sight.

I eventually quit the forum. It was full of serious nutcases on both sides. One Greek woman who claimed to be a Communist (Workers of the World Unite! --- unless you happen to be Macedonian) was adamant that not even a tiny sliver of the present Republic of Macedonia was ever part of the fluctuating borders of the ancient kingdom or the Roman or Byzantine provinces; that my thinking so was the result of evil US corporate media brainwashing; and as soon as the revolution came, I would be a prime candidate for a re-education camp! She actually said that I belong in a re-education camp. She had my whole gulag experience planned out. Frankly, I hope she was picked up in the November 17 roundups in the summer of 2002 and is now living in an 8x10 padded cell for her and our safety. She needs some "re-education" or at least some "re-medication."

I'm part Greek on my mother's side, but my people are from south Greece. In my experience, people from northern Greece tend to be the most adamant about the issue --- and that is where most of the Greeks in my town are from. My town has a large population of both Macedonian Greeks and Slavs. When the topic comes up, I usually try to put my coffee or other drink to my lips to avoid having to say anything that would offend either side. On a date, making the move for a kiss often works as well ;) --Jpbrenna 09:35, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

about the "vandalizing" of the options at the SlavMacedonians voting
Dear FlavrSavr can you explain why is vandalism the expression of a certain view. Even if you strongly disagree with this? I wrote the above statements and they are absolutely true. On the contrary your attermpt to delete my views is censorship and vandalism. Is it not true the fact that in FYROM's school books there are maps of a "liberated" "united" Macedonia? Is it not true that Political parties in FYROM encourage signs "MACEDONIANS ARE MACEDONIAN...NOT GREEK...MACEDONIA CONQUERED GREECE AND ONE DAY ALL OF MACEDONIA WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!! MAKEDONIA ZA MAKEDONCITE!!!!!" Similar posts were posted in this page a few days ago isn't it?

Hiellouuu
Ok, no matter we are both Macedonians, I think we can comunicate on English, so the others can read this too. YEs, it is dissapointing what happens on Wikipedia. The Bulgarian/Greek POVS are predominant. I criticized Wikipedia openly and there were some possitive answers, but noone really cares. I tried to change some texts in a very neutral way, but the changes were undoed. As far as I can see, the only way to get their attention is to destroy something here. Because Wikipedia is so open, it is easy to do it. And I am planning to. I won't waste my time writting their enciclopedia and let them deny us. If I waste my time, it will be to show them they are wrong. The good thing is that Wikipedia is already getting reputation around the web as a place for expressing someones POV and people are realising that it is very NOT Neutral. Luckily, when you write 'Macedonia' on Google, Yahoo, Ask etc., the truth is predominant, so most of the people will be able to read it. Good luck I sterbinski 01:10, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

FlavrSavr, I did edit the 'Macedonia' page couple of times. VERY NEUTRALLY. I did not delete anything, just added that there is another POV. And I asked anyone who wants to erase anything from my edit, to ask me to explain my choise. But, THE SIMPLY ERASED ALL THE EDITS I MADE, with no consultation at all. It is so easy to notice that they are protecting the anti-Macedonian POV.

If we can not deal in a nice way, what else can we do? I am sure you spent many days in this fight for our rights, but they simply ignored you. And, in any case, the Bulgarians and Greeks have much bigger population than us, they will outnumber us almost always. Especially because the fact that the internet use in Macedonia is not so high (Because of the monopoly of the Telecomunications).

Do not worry, I am not planning to vandalize Wikipedia. Actually, the texts in Wikipedia are great grounds for complaints to the Human rights organizations. I won't like to use the proves for the Wikipedia's assimilation POV. I already am working on this issue and I am getting great feedback.

Take care my friend, I sterbinski 15:45, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Tell me only this
Did your countrymen call themselves Bulgarians in the nineteenth century? And, if they didn't, then who is lying? --VKokielov 04:10, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

'Bulgarian' was used as a synonym for 'Slavic' till the 1930s. As I said many times before, I have a living grandfather from that time. The Greek assimilation was very powerful in that time, and do not forget that we were 500 year under the Turkish (muslim) occupation. So they wanted to protect from that expressing their Slavic Ortodox Cristian origin.

The word "Slavic" was used by the Byzantine empire, but on the Balkan they were using Bulgarian to express their Slavic origin and religion.

If they were Bulgarians, why would they fight for independence or Authonomy of Macedonia? Isn't it natural they to fight for reunification with the other people of the same kind? But, there were not other people like that, Macedonians were separate nation, with separate culture and identity, so that is the reason why they wanted their independence. Same as my grandfather and many other members of my close family.

The biggest problem of that time for us that the Bulgarians were pretending that they are our friends and they want to help us. Actually, only thing they wanted was to take Macedonia for them. They were the ones who killed many Macedonian revolutioners, including 3 members of my family, who were members of IMRO, fighting for Macedonia's independence. Even my living grandfather was shoot 3 different times from the Bulgarians.

It is complicated issue. Compare it to the following: Armenian, Georgian, Ucrainian etc... all they were often expressing themselves as Russian, because for them Russian was 'Slavic Ortodox Cristian'. Another, even better example. Between 1945th and 1990th the vast majority of the Yugoslav population was using the word 'Yugoslav' to describe themselves. But, their nationality was always and it stayed dofferent than Yugoslav: Croatian, Serbian, Slovenian, Montenegrian, Macedonian, Bosnian, Albanian, Hungarian etc.

Hope this clears the issue. I sterbinski 15:32, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

--- Yes, I have a question. What, then, in your opinion, makes a nationality? I am part Jew, part Polish, part Russian; who will stop me if I proclaim myself Cosmocaucasian and demand my rights?

I ask, of course, in the perspective of the nineteenth century, when all this was formative.

Whatever the case, the compromise is simple: the Bulgarians have to admit that the Macedonians exist now, and the Macedonians have to admit that they share a close historical kinship with the Bulgarians from then. Nothing will move otherwise. --VKokielov 18:50, 6 August 2005 (UTC) - Thank you very much. --VKokielov 13:52, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

sorry
I am sorry, I didn't mean to imply I sterbinski was a crackpot at all. I was criticizing his approach of "let's randomly order every statement people come up with and be done with it", trying to point out that there is no way around weighing each fact as it is put forward. Also, my general impression of the article's organization is that it is fair, I didn't even read all of it, and I have no doubt it could be improved. Sorry if my comment was not helpful. dab (ᛏ) 15:00, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Victoria Park, London

Tower Hamlets?
The northern part of VP was certainly in Hackney Met and London (post 65) boroughs. This is proved by the 1:50000 OS of 1984. What happened was that in c1995 the Local Govt Boundary Commission made proposals to ironm out inconsistencies -- so all of VP was added to Tower Hamlets (just as all the Lea vallet reservoirs went into Enfield LB). The entry needs amending! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.160.96 (talk) 19:02, 5 September 2009 (UTC) I'm prett sure that Victoria Park isn't all within Tower Hamlets. My family home backed onto the park from Victoria Park Road and that is certainly Hackney. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.195.19.43 (talk • contribs)
 * I believe the park was extra-parochial on it's foundation by the LCC (board of works?). The LCC became the GLC and when that was abolished there was some discussion of it being taken over by the City, but LBTH stepped up and agreed to administer the park (LBH going through a periodic crisis of finance), dividing it between two neighbourhoods in the mid-90s. I don't think the acreage of VP has ever been added to LBTH land, but that's who administer it.
 * VPR lies on the north side of the park, and that is wholly inside Hackney. I hope that provides some clarification.

 * Apropos of nothing, does anybody remember the Queen Mary nuclear reactor on the north east side of the park? It was owned by the QM nuclear engineering dept. and rather made a mockery of the 80s no-nukes policy of both boro's. Kbthompson 10:50, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Margaret Muller
I would not have removed the Margaret Muller line if someone had taken the trouble to create an entry for her, not just create a dead link in the hope someone else would fill it in. It was a horrible murder, it likely needs expanding on - if someone wants to include it, do it, but don't just refer to an empty link.

And, yes, I'm an Inclusionist - just figured out where I'm coming from, so it hurts for me to delete something.

Tarquin Binary 02:52, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Even more dead links eliminated. Sorry, Steam Boat Club, if you're that keen, why not create your own 'pedia page? Then link to it. Hence my sarcasm. Fix those things that are those what I have done, and put your own blooming page up, don't expect someone else to do it for ya...

That was mean, sarcasm removed, a 100-year old Steamm Boat Club probably deserve an entry - dead link removed nonetheless, though para is as original.

Apparent error re bathing
The caption to the photo of the pond read, ''The 'Bathing Pond' in Victoria Park. It has not been used for bathing since 1936, when the park lido opened, but it is very popular with anglers.'' I changed "opened" to "closed" as otherwise it makes no sense, but I am relying purely on logic, not knowledge of the facts.

 * The lido replaced the bathing pond in 1936 (they were on different sites) so it was correct as written. The pond (no longer used for bathing) is still there but the lido was covered over more recently. MRSC 06:08, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Indeed so, this is what the signs there say. But I'm a bit confused now - I assumed that the 'lido' was the other pool very near the 'bathing pool' to the east, which is an open pool, in fairly good repair, though no-one was using it when I was walking by. It didn't seem to have any signage. I've checked some online maps and can't see a lido marked, and I can't recall encountering one while wandering through the park in the past, so I assumed that was it.

 * Tarquin Binary 14:22, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm informed that the lido was in fact on Grove Road to the south-east. It's just marked as white space in the current A-Z. Missed it somehow... Tarquin Binary 18:15, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes. Its the area adjacent to Grove Road that is all concreted over. MRSC 18:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I have added a link to support the reference to angling on the 'Bathing Pond'. I hope I have done this correctly, it is my first attempt. I intended to add the link as an External Link but read that is better put to the discussion page. Please also consider a link or reference to the book by Philip Mernick and Doreen Kendall, ‘A Pictorial History of Victoria Park, London E3’ (Published by the East London History Society, ISBN 0 950 6258 1 7).

Bethnal Green disaster
It is a different slant on what I have believed about the disaster, it was recognise that a drunk threw an empty steel drum near the entrance of the Bethnal Green Underground causing the panic. I would go along with that theory. Yes, the first salvo that was ever fired by the rocket guns in the park, did cause a racket, and certainly put the wind up everyone in the locality. but they would not have been fired until the enemy aircraft were within range; people would have by then been in the shelter long before, not on their way into it at the time the disaster occured. concidering, the sirene alert would have been 10 or 20 minutes before the planes were over head.

People used to go to the shelters to sleep whether the warning went or not. Besides the nesrest residence lived more that 5 to 10, possibly 20 minutes away from the Underground station. It wouldn't give them much time to get to the shelter after the first alert if they were not already down there. the panic happened as people were going down the steps from the pavement,and not at a slow pace either because the first in got the best posse to spend the night, out of the draugh,handy to the toilets etc.

 * Hi, is that Ray? Your info, though valued, was rightly moved here by another user. Always best to make sure you have clicked on the 'discussion' tab at the screen top.

 * Anyway, your point is well taken, and the MoD still maintains the 'steel drum' explanation. That's why I stressed that the issue is controversial, and I hope that the article comes down on neither side. However, I think the theory the BBC based their program on is interesting. At worst it sheds some light on the use of Victoria Park for AA. Until the BBC documentary, which I saw, came out in 2003, I wasn't even aware of the use of these 'Z-battery' rockets, so some interesting history came out of it. Incidentally, another theory, which seems not to be supported by any evidence, was that a large cache of UXBs had been exploded in the park.

 * I can easily imagine many ways a panic could happen in a large crowd negotiating some narrow steps, and sometimes wonder why it hasn't happened more often. I've been jammed on to a narrow escalator in a modern rush-hour and felt a sort of Bethnal Green panic imagining what would happen if just one or two people slipped...

 * Oh, have now changed wording to Some'' eyewitness accounts have led to the suggestion that...', as the old one suggested that all the evidence pointed that way.

People's Park...
A long section, but I think this bit of history is important. Gives me the excuse to add more pix, anyway :) I don't quite know how to link up internal page references with a [1] or whatever, and have to run off so no time to research it, but I've put a temporary attribution. Tarquin Binary 21:55, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Old London Bridge Alcoves?

This article says that there are only to remaining alcoves of which the park has both. This is not true as Old Guys hospital which is next Guy's tower and forms apart of the medical school there also has one. I have not edited this page as i am unsure how many more there are.

Victoria Park, East London
I'm trying to work out why this important, and early parkland is being pushed to the verges of the wikispace. No-one refers to Regent's Park as 'Regent's Park, West London'; so, why is this space being marginalised by tiny acreages elsewhere?

I know everywhere has a Victoria park, but this one is the template for them.

Yes, the article needs work! Kbthompson 11:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * There is at least one other Victoria Park in London- at Finchley Church End. It's perfectly reasonable to disambiguate between them. I don't think it marginalises Victoria Park in Hackney at all. Badgerpatrol 14:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

"Rooney" passage
I haven't checked whether the passage quoted in the body of the accompanying article was misattributed to the UK intoxicants-trade periodical by the editor who added the passage, or someone later. In any case (besides fixing that) i am replacing the second-order citation

(to which our editor accurately attributes the mistranscription "Rooney"), with

But i leave to others to explore whether "J. H. Rosney" is one or both of J.-H. Rosny, authors of the novel Quest for Fire (which underlies the film of the same title); the dates are quite compatible. I have left out the Fishman comments, as i don't see why they need to be in the footnote, if they don't have a place in the body of the article, and i don't care to make the decision about moving them there. --Jerzy•t 06:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Lance Gibbs

Lancelot Richard Gibbs (born 29 September 1934) is a former West Indies cricketer, one of the most successful spin bowlers in Test cricket history. He took 309 Test wickets, only the second player (after Fred Trueman) to pass 300, the first spinner to pass that milestone, and had an exceptional economy rate of under two runs per over. He was a member of the squad which won the 1975 Cricket World Cup.

In 2009, Gibbs was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

Biography
Gibbs made his first-class debut in 1953–54, playing for British Guiana against MCC at his home ground of Bourda. In MCC's first (and indeed only) innings, he bowled Denis Compton for 18 to leave the tourists precariously poised at 51/3. Gibbs also took the wicket of Tom Graveney – but by then a mammoth fourth-wicket partnership of 402 between Graveney and Willie Watson had propelled MCC towards an innings victory, so Gibbs did not get a second chance to bowl.

Gibbs played a few more first-class games for British Guiana over the next few years, and some good performances (including 4/68 in the final of the Quadrangular Tournament against Barbados in 1956–57) gained him selection for the West Indies side to host Pakistan the following season. He made his debut in the second Test at Port-of-Spain, taking four wickets in the match, and retained his place for the rest of the five-match series, his first five-wicket haul in first-class cricket coming when he claimed 5/80 in the fourth Test at Bourda.

He went on the tour to India in 1957–58, but played in only one Test, in which he went wicketless. The tour of Pakistan that immediately followed was a little more fruitful, with eight wickets in three games. However, it was the 1960–61 tour of Australia that was to prove a turning point in Gibbs' international career: he played only in the last three Tests, but took 19 wickets at 20.78: eight at Sydney, five at Adelaide (including a hat-trick) and six at Melbourne.

The early 1960s were Gibbs' most productive period in Test cricket, and his greatest achievements came in the 1961–62 home series against India. Over the course of five Tests he picked up 24 wickets at just 20.41 apiece, including one of the game's greatest spells of bowling at Bridgetown, where he single-handedly reduced the Indians from 149/2 to 187 all out with eight wickets in 15.3 overs at a total cost of just six runs; Gibbs' final innings return of 8/38 was his best in a Test match.

In 1963, West Indies toured England, and Gibbs had another highly successful series, taking 26 wickets at 21.30 including 5/59 and 6/98 in a ten-wicket triumph at Manchester. Further successful series followed: indeed, in eight successive series topped and tailed by the 1960–61 and 1968–69 tours to Australia, Gibbs never took fewer than 18 Test wickets and took five or more wickets in an innings on 12 occasions.

In 1967, Gibbs played for Warwickshire in the English County Championship, for whom he would continue to appear each season until 1973, although his appearances in 1969 and 1973 were reduced because of his commitments with West Indies' tours of England. In 1970, after a winter spent with South Australia, he took a career-best 8/37 against Glamorgan, but by far his most successful season in England was 1971 in which Gibbs claimed 131 first-class wickets at only 18.89, with nine five-wicket hauls. This exceptional performance gained Gibbs a Wisden Cricketer of the Year award in the following year's Almanack. He has been retrospectively ranked by the ICC as the top bowler in Test cricket for five consecutive years starting from 1964.

In 1973, at the age of almost 39, Gibbs made his One Day International debut against England at Leeds as part of the Prudential Trophy tournament, taking the wicket of England captain Mike Denness. He played only two further ODIs: the first again being against England two days later at the Oval (11–4–12–1 and the wicket of John Jameson), and a single outing against Sri Lanka at Manchester in the 1975 World Cup, in which he bowled just four overs without success.

Gibbs' last Test matches were played on the tour of Australia in 1975–76. Although he played in all six Tests, and took 5/102 in the first innings of the first Test at Brisbane, his 16 wickets came at an average of over 40, the worst of his five series against these opponents. He passed the milestone of 300 Test victims at Perth by dismissing Gary Gilmour. His last Test match, and indeed his last appearance in senior cricket of any description, was at Melbourne, his 309th and final Test wicket being that – again – of Gilmour.

He was, however, a very poor batsman, who never made a half-century in first-class cricket.

After his retirement from the game, Gibbs emigrated to the United States, but returned to prominence briefly in 1991 when he managed West Indies' tour to England. Gibbs is involved with the Lawrence Rowe Foundation, which helps at-risk kids.

Gibbs is the cousin of another West Indies cricketer, Clive Lloyd, with whom he appeared for West Indies on a number of occasions.

Record
Gibbs is the oldest player to reach 300 Test wickets, doing so at the age of 41 in 1975/76.

International cricket five-wicket hauls
Gibbs' first five-wicket haul came a month after his debut, when he took 5 wickets for 80 runs against Pakistan in the fourth Test of the latter's 1957–58 tour of the West Indies. His best bowling figures are 8 for 38 which he took in the third innings of the third Test between the West Indies and India at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. Described by Cecil Kippins as "the greatest ever bowling spell in Test Cricket", Gibbs took the eight wickets in a sixteen-over spell, conceding six runs. Although Gibbs played ODI cricket, he made just three appearances, during which his best bowling figures were 1 for 12.

Problems with the analysis
There are some problems with the analysis. Black's fourth move, 4...Nxe4 doesn't deserve ?!. This is the move recommended by theory, and both MCO and NCO give it without any punctuation. In the first line given in the article, the recommended move for Black is 7...d5 instead of 7...Be7, and both MCO and NCO consider it to give Black a definite advantage. In the final position of the first line, Black has the advantage anyway due to the two bishops and the queenside majority.

The later recommendation of 5.0-0! transposes into the Boden-Kieseritzky Gambit. This move may or may not deserve the exclamation mark. The B-K is thought to favor Black, although it can be difficult to defend over the board. It's certainly better than 5.Bxf7+ since that's just better for Black. The statement that Black can't keep his extra e-pawn after 5.0-0 is false. After 5...Nxc3 6.dxc3 Black's best defense may be 6...f6 when after 7.Nh4 Black can reply 7...Ne7 or 7...g6 and White will have to work hard to justify his pawn deficit.

 * I am responsible for the first line given; I also gave 4 ... Nxe4 a !, though perhaps it deserves no special mark. Subsequent vociferous edits by 65.95.128.154 disagreed. I think the final position in the third line is about equal; I do mention the queenside majority and bishop pair, but White can cripple the majority on his next move with Nxc6. In any case, I urge you to make any changes to the analysis you see fit.Cjpuffin 23:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Diagram in Error
The first diagram has the attacking white bishop at g7, rather than f7 as in the text.WHPratt (talk) 16:12, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

 * When I edit them, they look OK. It seems that diagrams that aren't "small" have the pieces on ranks 1-7 shifted one file to the right.  Bubba73 (You talkin' to me?), 17:27, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Mitsubishi Galant Lambda

I'm about ready to move this article to Mitsubishi Galant Lambda so that the page is named after the domestic market model and Mitsubishi Sapporo redirects to it. Currently Mitsubishi Galant Lambda is a redirect page with a one line edit history, so as per WP:MOVE it's OK to overwrite a page like this without admin intervention.

The current article also seems to have been very Plymouth Sapporo-centred (they were merged on 04:12, April 26, 2005, but obviously not rewritten). I've tried to make it more model-neutral, and I've also deleted most of the content about the unreliability of the mechanicals. Aside from the fact that there's no citations to support this, when I went looking for corroboration/contradiction I found the Allpar.com page on the Plymouth, where owners' testimonies seem to indicate that it suffered none of the problems referred to here.

Therefore, my rewrite, currently at User:DeLarge/Galant Lambda, will be copy/pasted here and then the page will be moved/redirected, unless there's any dissenting voices. --DeLarge 21:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree - I definetly support the move. I wonder why it wasn't renamed sooner... --ApolloBoy 00:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

 * OK, will move it now. --DeLarge 09:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Second infobox
There's absolutely nothing in the second infobox at present to justify its existence. A copyvio image which will shortly be deleted, some circular redirects, and duplication of what's already in the first infobox. What is it about this car that some people think the same thing needs to be said twice or three times on multiple pages? --DeLarge (talk) 13:22, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

///////////////////////////// There are two very distinct generations of this car with completely different bodies. The image that you removed is NOT a copyvio image. There is no copyright claim anywhere in the owners manual. And the image and all the information in the owners manual are intended by the manufacturer to accompany the car and be used to describe the car.

If there is a concern about redundancy, I think this page should be merged with the Galant page.GalantFan (talk) 20:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
