Light tanks of the United Kingdom

The Light Tank Mark I to Mark V were a series of related designs of light tank produced by Vickers for the British Army during the interwar period.

Between the First and Second World Wars, the British produced a series of similar light tanks. They saw use in training, and in limited engagements with British Empire units such as the South African Army during the East African Campaign of 1941. All were around 5 LT in weight and capable of 30 mph on roads and around 20 mph cross-country.

The British did not expect their light tanks to be used against anything except other light tanks at most and as such armament was a machine gun only—Vickers machine guns firing either a .303 inch or .0.5 inch (12.7 mm) round. Suspension was Horstmann coil spring on bogies. The engine was a Meadows six-cylinder petrol. Up until the Mk V, they were crewed by a driver-commander and gunner. The Mk V had a driver, a gunner and a commander helping on the gun.

The various marks were produced in relatively small numbers. By the Mark V, the design was more or less optimised and it was the final development of in the form of the Light Tank Mk VI which was chosen for the British Army expansion programme in expectation of war.

The following designations in the sequence Light Tank Mk VII "Tetrarch" and Light Tank Mk VIII "Harry Hopkins" were produced by Vickers but unrelated to the series of light tanks Mk I to Mark VI.

Tankettes
Following the activities of the Experimental Mechanized Force in the late 1920s, the British Army identified a need for two light tracked vehicles; one to carry a machine gun for the infantry and one with a turret for the Royal Tank Corps. The Carden-Loyd tankette became the infantry vehicle, at the same time Carden privately developed a number of light, two-man tank designs. The Carden Mark VII design was accepted as a prototype for the army's light tank. By that point Carden-Loyd was part of Vickers-Armstrong. Only a few of the first light tanks were built and, although never issued per se, gave useful information for subsequent developments.

The Mark VII was a small machine gun-armed vehicle with a 59 hp Meadows engine which gave it a maximum speed of 35 mph. Suspension was two 2-wheel leaf sprung bogies on either side with an external girder to give the suspension strength. Considered a reconnaissance vehicle and a mobile machine gun position, the Mark VI was the final stage of development of the Carden-Loyd series of tankettes. The Carden-Loyd tankette was the prototype for the Universal Carrier.

Tank, Light, Mk I
The Mark I differed in a few points from Carden's Mark VII tankette. The external suspension girder was dropped by strengthening the suspension at the hull supports. The bevelled turret was replaced by a cylindrical design but still carried a single 0.303 Vickers machine gun. Giving it a 14 mm "basis" of armour, increased weight and dropped the top speed to 30 mph.

The Meadows engine drove the tracks though a four-speed gearbox to the front drive wheels. Steering was a combination of de-clutching the drive to one track and braking to tighten the turn. The track was tensioned by a rear idler—which, being set at the same height as the drive sprocket, was new in British tank designs—and returned over three rollers.

The Mark IA had a larger superstructure and a larger turret to give room for operating the machine gun. Horstmann suspension with horizontal coil springs replaced the leaf springs of the Mark I. Although it could give an easy ride under moderate conditions, the springs could, under certain circumstances, cause an uncontrollable bounce. The engine was also changed to a Ricardo diesel engine.

The Mark IA tanks sent to India in 1931 for trials received modifications to improve engine cooling in the hotter climate and various means were experimented with to reduce the heat for the crew as well.
 * Mk I: four or five made, based on the Carden-Loyd Mk VIII
 * Mk IA: nine produced, four of these were sent for trials in India

Tank, Light, Mk II
The Mark II used a 66 hp Rolls-Royce engine which was, along with the Wilson preselector gearbox and transmission, on the right-hand side of the tank. This left the left-hand side free for the driver and commander. Tanks for use in India had an 85 hp Meadows engine and a "crash" gearbox. The turret was rectangular in form and the machine-gun was modified for vehicle use with a pistol grip instead of the spade grips of the infantry version.
 * MK II: 16 built by Vickers Armstrong from 1929
 * Mk IIA: 29 constructed at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich
 * Mk IIB: 21 built by Vickers-Armstrong

The running gear of the Vickers Light Dragon Mark I artillery tractor used the tracks and suspension of the Light Tank Mk II, and that of the Light Dragon Mark IIA used the components from the Light Tank Mk IIA.

Tank, Light, Mk III
The Mark III light tank suspension was made out of Horstmann coil springs controlling bogies with two rubber-lined wheel sets per bogie. This design, invented by Sidney Horstmann and exclusively used on lightweight vehicles, was also used up to the Light Tank Mk VI. Apart from being relatively easy to build, compact and lightweight, it had the advantage of having a long travel and was easy to replace when damaged in the field. The drive sprocket was in the front while the idler-wheels were placed in the rear, with two return rollers. Power came in the form of a Henry Meadows six-cylinder petrol engine, producing 88 hp, coupled with a four-speed preselector gearbox. Steering was a combination of de-clutching the drive to one track and braking to increase the turn. The traverse of the turret was electrically actuated.
 * Forty-two produced from 1934. Rolls-Royce engine and Wilson gearbox. Extended rear superstructure. Revised suspension. Thirty-six sent to Egypt.
 * The Royal Netherlands East Indies Army ordered 73 Mk IIIBs in 1937 and they were used during the Dutch East Indies campaign against Japan
 * Modified for Belgium as the Vickers T-15 light tank
 * A single Vickers Light Dragon Mark IIB artillery tractor (which used the chassis and running gear from the Light Tank Mk III) was purchased by Belgium. It was considerably modified to produce the much heavier T-13 B3 tank destroyer armed with a 47 mm Model 1931 anti-tank gun. These vehicles were made in Belgium under licence in Familleureux, Hainaut, by the Ateliers de construction de et à Familleureux.

Tank, Light, Mk IV
The Mark IV saw use in training, and weighed about five tonnes. These models had crews of two and were armed with Vickers machine guns. The idler wheels were removed, with the bogie wheels being respaced. The design once again used a Meadows built engine this time rated for 90 HP.

29 of the Mk IV A version are sent to India. These had their turret extended upwards. The British 9th Armoured Car and Light Tank Company, Royal Tank Corps, were equipped with Vickers-Carden-Loyd Mk.IV Light Tanks. They were sent to the North-West Frontier of India and took part in the 1936-1939 Waziristan campaign against the fiercely independent Pashtun tribesmen that inhabited that mountainous region. They were led by the religious leader Mirzali Khan and deployed guerrilla tactics of ambush and were not drawn into a decisive battle with the well trained and numerically superior British troops. The use of bullet-proof machine-gun armed tanks and air attacks by six RAF squadrons to support the infantry saw the support for Mirzali Khan begin to wane. In 1940 the North-West Frontier quietened down with only the occasional raid on a village by the tribesmen. It remained this way until 1947 and the end of British rule, and the founding of the independent state of Pakistan. Although some were still in use at the start of World War Two, they were removed as not fit for service in armoured divisions.
 * A Vickers design of 1933, 34 built from 1934.

A surviving MkIV is the oldest running tank in the collection of The Tank Museum,Bovington.

Tank, Light, Mk V
The biggest change from the Mark IV to the Mark V was the introduction of a three-man crew. The turret now carried the commander and the gunner, who was also the radio operator. The increase in the crew size increased the tank's effectiveness and spread the maintenance load. Until then, the commander had to direct the driver, navigate and operate the gun. If troop commander, he also directed the other tanks and their fire.

The armament of the Mark V was an improvement over the earlier marks; a 0.5 inch Vickers machine gun was added to the existing 0.303. The bigger gun gave the tank a reasonable capability against other light tanks—at the time most European light tanks had around 12 – of armour—but it was not updated as light tanks with more armour came into use. It was half a ton heavier—and about 18 inches longer—than the Mark IV. The weight increase had the effect of reducing the top speed to 32 mph though range was largely unchanged. The first tanks produced were sent along with a team from Vickers to the 1st Battalion RTC. This unusual level of co-operation between manufacturer and user led to rapid resolution of problems and implementation of improvements. During 1936, 22 were produced.

Light Tank Mk VI

The Light Tank Mk VI was a continuation of the Mark V design. It also had a three-man crew but a larger turret to accommodate a radio set and had an 88 hp engine for higher speed, despite the heavier weight. Between 1936 and 1940, over 1,300 Mark VIs were built, in several variants that represented solutions to problems with the initial design.

Commercial Carden-Loyd tanks
The basic form of the light tank was used by Vickers for export markets. This included the 1933, 1934, 1936 and 1937 models. Buyers included Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Argentina, Belgium, Switzerland, the Dutch East Indies and China.

Forty-two were produced for Belgium in 1935, based on the Mark III with a different turret on request of Belgium's armed forces. Armed with a French 13.2 mm Hotchkiss machine gun, they were designated Char Léger de Reconnaissance Vickers-Carden-Loyd Mod.1934 T.15 by the Belgians.

After two tanks had been bought for trials in 1937, the Dutch East Indies in 1938 ordered a further 73 tanks of the 1936 model, which was "mechanically similar" to the Mark IV but with a hexagonal turret and the armament of a Mark II. Only 20 tanks arrived in Java before the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe, and those which were not delivered were taken into service with the British Army as the "Tank Light, Vickers Carden-Loyd, Model 1936" - in practice they were referred to by the nickname "Dutchman". They were used for training duties only. A number of these tanks were delivered to Greece.

Service history
The light tanks were kept in use for training until around 1942. Some saw active use in the Battle of France, the Western desert or Abyssinia from 1940–1941. They were followed by the Light Tank Mk VI from 1936. Like many of its predecessors, the Mark VI was used by the British Army to perform imperial policing duties in British India and other colonies in the British Empire, a role for which it and the other Vickers-Armstrongs light tanks were found to be well suited.

 * Thanks, Doc. I also managed to verify it.  It is referred to as Huntington High, and there were two colored schools in Newport News, this one and George Washington Carver, separated by a railroad track.  At least one former Branch President of the NAACP went there, Flora Crittenden (one newspaper says it was Carver, but an official Virginia House bill thanking delegate Crittenden for her service says it was Huntington).

Talk:Health care delivery

This article contains a lot of useful information. However, I am concerned that it is somewhat biassed and may also benefit from being renamed as it is focussed on history rather healthcare delivery. There is already an article on Healthcare systems --Vincej 13:13, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Misleading title
I find this an interesting article, but the title "Healthcare delivery" is misleading. The text covers only a small aspect of what you expect to find under healthcare delivery. Why not rename it "Health care without face-to-face contact" or similar? -- Robert, 9/9/2005

Controversial article on healthcare delivery?
I am the author of the article on Healthcare delivery. I would be quite interested and willing to discuss and change the contents that could be viewed as controversial.

May I mention my background briefly? (Please do not view this as preening.) I am a neurologist and an academic with health indurance experience. I have written scientific and peer-reviewed articles since 1972.

My intent in writing this article was to show that cybermedicine is not a new phenomenon and its equivalents have existed for centuries. I do not wish to put down any system of belief. If I have done so, it is nunientional. Of course, I ought to alter parts that carry factual errors. Please point these out. Again, if there are areas that you could improve, do let me know. Smurti 21:53, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, & my responses.
Robert and Vincej:

THANKS for your feedbacks. I am glad that you fiind my work interesting and useful...pleases me. There was also another contributor who cleaned up my formatting. I owe gratitude to that person, too.

I agree that I was also ambivalent about the title. The current holding title of "History" of healthcare delivery is acceptable to me. But, should I come up with somethhing even better I will put that in. Meanwhile, this being my FIRST wiki-artcile, I am treading with some hesitation. My background has been publication via traditional academic and orthodox peer-reviewed media.

By the way, how would I identify this article as emanating from me (some way of identifying authorship and the responsibilities that go with it)?

Another question is this: I have legible copies of two illustrations (of written letters) that go back to the Brinkley period (circa 1932). They will augment my article by showing how they used the radio and written letters back then as media for medical consultations. I have copyright release also from our Kansas State Archives to publish them. I would like to add them to my article.

Thanks for your interest, Vincej and Robert. Smurti 14:38, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Sengkang Depot

Sengkang Depot is a train depot in Sengkang, Singapore operated by SBS Transit. It is the first co-location of facilities for both the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT). It maintains the trains for the North East line, Sengkang LRT line, and Punggol LRT line, and houses the control centre of the three lines.

The depot was designed by architects 61 and constructed by Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co. at a contract sum of S$350 million under contract C701. It is the first in Singapore to be built with structural provisions for an industrial development to be situated on top, to minimise the waste of scare land resources.

The MRT depot is located between Hougang station and Sengkang station on the North East line and has three reception tracks: Two northbound tracks towards Sengkang station and one southbound track towards Hougang station.

The LRT depot is located between Layar station and Tongkang station on the Sengkang LRT line. It has two reception tracks: One eastward track towards Tongkang station and one westward track towards Layar station.

Expansion
On 5 February 2021, LTA announced plans for the expansion of Sengkang LRT depot from the existing 3.5-hectare to 11.1-hectare. The expanded depot will provide increased stabling capacity, a new maintenance workshop and two new reception tracks in anticipation for the procurement of 17 two-car trains to boost the Sengkang-Punggol LRT's (SPLRT) capacity. In addition, the existing power supply systems will be enhanced and three new traction power stations will be added to the existing five for improved traction power to support the additional trains. Expansion works are slated to begin in end-2021, and scheduled to be completed by 2027.

Matheran Hill Railway

The Matheran Hill Railway (MHR) is a narrow-gauge heritage railway in Maharashtra, India, which is administered by the Central Railway zone. It covers a distance of 21 km, cutting a swathe through forest and connecting Neral to Matheran in the Western Ghats. The MHR is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

History
The Neral–Matheran Light Railway was built between 1901 and 1907 by Abdul Hussein Adamjee Peerbhoy and financed by his father, Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy, at a cost of Rupees 16,00,000. Adamjee Peerbhoy visited Matheran often, and wanted to build a railway to make it easier to get there. Hussain's plans for the Matheran Hill Railway were formulated in 1900, and construction began in 1904. The consulting engineer was Everard Calthrop. The line was open to traffic by 1907. Its tracks were originally 30 lb/yd rails, but were upgraded to 42 lb/yd rails. The ruling gradient is 1:20 (five percent), with tight curves, and speed is limited to 12 km/h.

When the railway was opened, the rolling stock consisted of just two locomotives, fifteen First Class, two Third Class coaches, two luggage vans with postal accommodation, twelve open goods wagons, along with two saloons that were in verge of completion at GIPR's Parel Locomotive Workshops. One Locomotive was taken from the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway as well.

Around 1907, only one locomotive would run on the railway at a time. The service had two trains each way per day.

The railway was closed because of flood damage in 2005 and was not expected to reopen before April 2007. However, the first run on the repaired railway was on 5 March 2007. The line observed its centenary on 15 April of that year. Service had been suspended during the monsoon season (from June to October) because of the danger of landslides. During the 2012 monsoon season, Central Railway (CR) tested the railway's air brakes and, after approval from the Commission of Railway Safety, ran the train during the monsoon for the first time. CR planned to shorten the monsoon service suspension to 15 July – 1 October.

In November 2012, CR added a special coach (known as a saloon) to trains operating on the line. The saloons have sofas and LCD screens showing images from outside the train. The saloons had been available only to railway officers.

Operator
The MHR and its assets, including the stations, line, and vehicles, belong to the Government of India and are entrusted to the Ministry of Railways. Central Railway handles day-to-day maintenance and management, and several programs, divisions, and departments of Indian Railways are responsible for repairs.

Steam locomotives
Consulting engineer Everard Calthrop designed the MLR Class s with Klien-Lindner axles to give a flexible wheelbase and four were supplied by Orenstein & Koppel. They ran from the railway's opening in 1907 until 1982, when they were replaced by diesel engines. By 1983, all steam locomotives were phased out. A B-class locomotive (#794) from the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway was transferred to the Neral–Matheran line in 2001 to test the feasibility of steam excursions. It was sent to the Golden Rock workshops for conversion to oil firing in 2013, and returned to Neral soon afterwards. Rail enthusiasts can once again enjoy and witness the 'steam-engine' on the Neral-Matheran toy train route. The steam engine will be fired either by electric power or hydrogen. Minister of Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw informed that an electric and hydrogen propelled engine will be given the appearance of the old steam engine.

Locomotive no. 738 is plinthed at the southern end of Neral Toy Train station, in a small garden. It was the engine in which Sir Abdul Hussein Adamjee Peerbhoy traveled, when he visited Germany to order the original four locomotives. (according to a plaque on the locomotive). No. 739 is preserved in the National Rail Museum, New Delhi, while No. 740 had been restored to full working order at Left South Tynedale Railway. No.741 is plinthed at Matheran Railway Station.

Diesel locomotives
Because of the line's sharp curves, only short-wheelbase four-wheel diesel units can be used; Class NDM1 and NDM6 locomotives are in use. Class NDM1 has two powered units, articulated with a central cab and initially developed by German builder Arnold Jung Lokomotivfabrik. The non-articulated Class NDM6 was manufactured by the Bangalore builders SAN.

Route
Neral, the starting point, is near Mumbai. The narrow-gauge line runs parallel to the broad-gauge line west of Hardal Hill before turning east to ascend towards Matheran. The rail and road meet near Jumapatti, and meet again after a brief separation at Bhekra Khud. After a short level stretch, there is a sharp ascent just before Mount Barry. A large horseshoe embankment was built to avoid a reversing station here. The line runs for a mile or so northwards around this before turning to take the One-Kiss Tunnel through the embankment. Two more zig-zags through deep cuttings remain before Panorama Point is reached, and then the line bends back to Simpson's Tank and ends at Matheran. It takes about two hours and 20 minutes to complete the 21 km journey, although CR plans to reduce this to one hour 30 minutes.

Stations

 * Neral: The junction to switch lines.
 * Jumapatti
 * Water Pipe: Used for filling Steam Locomotives
 * Aman Lodge: Named after a nearby Lodge
 * Matheran: The Hill Terminus

Anāgāmi

In Buddhism, an anāgāmin (Sanskrit; Pāli: anāgāmī, lit. "non-returning") is a partially enlightened person who has cut off the first five fetters that bind the ordinary mind. Anāgāmins are the third of the four aspirants.

The anāgāmin is not reborn into the human world after death, but into the heaven of the Pure Abodes, where only anāgāmins reside. There they attain full enlightenment (arahantship).

Requisites for becoming an anāgāmin
An anāgāmin is free from the lowest five chains or fetters (Sanskrit: ; Pali: pañcorambhāgiyāni-saṃyojanāni; 五下分結) which are as follows:
 * 1) Belief in ātman or self (Sanskrit:  or svakāya-dṛṣṭi; Pāli: sakkāya-diṭṭhi; 有身見)
 * 2) Attachment to rites and rituals (Sanskrit: śīlavrata-parāmarśa-dṛṣṭi; Pāli: sīlabbata-parāmāsa-diṭṭhi; 戒禁取見)
 * 3) Skeptical doubt (Sanskrit: vicikitsā; Pali: vicikicchā; 疑)
 * 4) Sensuous craving (kāmarāga; 欲貪)
 * 5) Ill will or aversion (vyāpāda or byāpāda; 瞋恚)

The remaining five higher fetters (Sanskrit: pañca-ūrdhvabhāgiya-saṃyojana; Pali: pañcuddhambhāgiyāni-saṃyojanāni; 五上分結) from which an anāgāmin is not yet free are:
 * 1) Craving for fine-material existence (the first 4 jhanas) (rūparāga; 色貪)
 * 2) Craving for immaterial existence (the last 4 jhanas) (arūparāga; 無色貪)
 * 3) Conceit or pride (māna; 慢)
 * 4) Restlessness (Sanskrit: auddhatya; Pali: uddhacca; 掉挙)
 * 5) Ignorance (Sanskrit: avidyā; Pali: avijjā; 無明)

Kāmarāga and vyāpāda, which they are free from, can also be interpreted as craving for becoming and non-becoming, respectively.

Anāgāmins are at an intermediate stage between the sakṛdāgāmin and the arhat. An arhat enjoys complete freedom from the ten fetters, while an anāgāmin's mind remains very pure.

Five types of anāgāmin
The Pali Puggalapannatti and the Sanskrit texts Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra and the Sarvāstivādin-Vaibhaṣika Abhidharma both describe five classes of anāgāmin. When an anāgāmin is reborn in the Pure Abodes, one of the five following scenarios will occur:
 * 1) He will attain arhatship immediately after rebirth or within the first half of his life in the Pure Abodes. Such a being is called "one who reaches Nibbāna within the first half of the life" (Sanskrit: antarāparinirvāyin; Pali: antarā-parinibbāyī).
 * 2) He will attain arhatship within the latter half of his life in the Pure Abodes or at the moment of death. Such a being is called "one who reaches Nibbāna after crossing half the life-time" (Sanskrit: upapadyaparinirvāyin; Pali: upahacca-parinibbāyī).
 * 3) He exerts himself to the point of attaining arhatship. Such a being is called "one who reaches Nibbāna with exertion" (Sanskrit: sābhisaṃskāraparinirvāyin; Pali: sasankhāra-parinibbāyī).
 * 4) He does not exert himself, yet attains arhatship. Such a being is called "one who reaches Nibbāna without exertion" (Sanskrit: anabhisaṃskāraparinirvāyin; Pali: asankhāra-parinibbāyī).
 * 5) He traverses the five heavens of the Pure Abodes in order from lowest to highest before attaining arhatship. Such a being is called "one who passes up-stream to the highest gods" (Sanskrit: ūrdhvasrotas; Pali: uddhamsota-akanittha-gāmī)."

Anāgāmins in literature
Several figures who appear in the literature achieve the state of an anāgāmin. Some of these people include:
 * The Brahmin Bāvarī
 * The householder Uggata
 * The wandering ascetic Subhadda
 * The monk Pukkusāti
 * The nun Nandā
 * The laywoman Matikamata
 * The layman Citta
 * The layman Visākha
 * The householder Sandhāna
 * The Brahman Uṇṇābha
 * Ghatikara the Potter, a lay follower of the Kāśyapa Buddha

Skyways (TV series)

Skyways is an Australian television soap opera drama series made by Crawford Productions for the Seven Network.

Production and casting
The series, which aired from 1979 to 1981, was set at the fictional Pacific International Airport and dealt with the lives of the pilots, airline staff and management team who worked there.

Skyways was mainly taped in a television studio where, in many interior-set scenes, Colour Separation Overlay created the illusion of a bustling airport with taxiing planes outside the window. Many of the exterior scenes were shot on location at Melbourne Airport.

The show's regular cast members included Tony Bonner as airport manager Paul MacFarlane, later replaced by Gary Doolan (Gerard Kennedy). Tina Bursill played glamorous and ruthless assistant manager Louise Carter. Bill Stalker, played head of airport security Peter Fanelli, an ex-detective. When Skyways ended Fanelli was moved to Crawford police procedural Cop Shop, while Brian James' character George Tippett was transplanted to Holiday Island.

Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan roles
Years before Neighbours and international pop stardom, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan appeared together in one episode as siblings.

Storylines
An early storyline featured a lesbian flight attendant (Judy Morris) unsuccessfully attempting to seduce a colleague (Deborah Coulls) who revealed she was heterosexual. Morris' character was soon afterwards stabbed to death in the shower as part of a murder-mystery storyline.

International broadcast
The series screened across Europe and the UK during 1984-1986 on Sky Channel which would later become Sky One. It also aired in the UK on Astra Satellite channel, Lifestyle during 1990 at 1.00 p.m Monday to Friday.

Syndication
During the first week of January 2006 the entire series was replayed Thursday early mornings, weekly at 2.00am, then at the later time-slot of 3.00am on WIN TV in Wollongong (South Coast NSW) as part of the early morning Crawfords Classics TV series.

In order to remain listed at Requests for comment, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with ~. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: {insert UTC timestamp with }), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is:, 29 July 2024 (UTC).

 * (Bensaccount | talk | contributions)

Statement of the dispute
''This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.''

Bensaccount continues to defy NPOV policy, and rather than reporting the mainstream scientific view as a view, he insists on reporting the mainstream scientific view as "fact" or "true" and anything opposed to it as factually untrue or factually unscientific. i.e. Bensaccount insists on reporting from the "Scientific Point Of View" (SPOV).

Description
''{Add summary here, but you must use the section below to certify or endorse it. Users who edit or endorse this summary should not edit the other summaries.}''

The dispute revolves around Bensaccount's insistance on editing according to the "Scientific Point Of View", versus the "Neutral Point Of View". NPOV policy says to report the mainstream scientific views as the mainstream scientific views. Bensaccount shows a repeated history of representing the mainstream scientific point of view as fact. This dispute has been going on the Creation Science article for roughly two weeks now and despite attempts from several editors, Bensaccount refuses to change his editing behaviour. This recent post by Bensaccount on the Creation Science talk page basically sums up his position and his unwillingness to follow NPOV policy:

 * "You have absolutely no grasp of science FuelWagon. Science is not a point of view. Do you think that by misquoting me you will advance your cause and have all relevant facts omitted from the intro? Its not going to work. Yes views are opinions, but no I never I have nothing against them. My problem is with people replacing facts with views and pretending they are the same." Bensaccount 19:02, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Bensaccount refuses to report the mainstream point of view as being a view from a group or an individual and instead insists on reporting as "fact" that CS is pseudoscience, that CS commits logical fallacies, that the CS doesn't meet the webster definition of "science" therefore it is not scientific, and so on. This recent post sums up his defiance against reporting "points of view":

 * "NPOV does not allow you to give preference to certain views so unless you plan to include every quotation from every magazine that has ever written anything about CS (and I guarantee there will be more pros than cons) you are going to have to remove your biased quotations." Bensaccount 18:55, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

I inserted a sourced quote from the National Academy of Science and another sourced quote from Skeptic magazine as expressing the mainstream scientific view that considers Creation Science to be pseudoscience. This in accordance with NPOV policy to report the different views from their sources. Bensaccount refuses to report mainstream scientific views as views, and instead insists on reporting from the "scientific point of view", namely that the mainstream view of science is fact and anything counter to it is false. Bensaccount repeatedly removes the sourced quotes and replaces it with undisputed assertions of fact that "CS is not scientific" or similar statements that follow SPOV.

The Creation Science article is undergoing "churn" with the same disputed issues being inserted and removed over and over again, rather than the article making any real progress towards consensus. Editors on the Creation Science page have been attempting to resolve this dispute with Bensaccount for two weeks, but the above recent posts from Bensaccount indicate his continued defiance of NPOV. It is clear that Bensaccount is an intelligent editor and knows the subject matter of the articles, however his continued defiance of NPOV makes work for other editors to fix, causes revert wars, and fills the talk pages. It is hoped that this RFC will alter his editing behaviour so that he can contribute to the articles within wikipedia policy.

 * FuelWagon 03:34, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Banno 11:20, August 22, 2005 (UTC); I responded to an RfC at Talk:Creation science/Archive 7 way back in July, suggesting that "calling creation science a pseudoscience is expressing an opinion, making a value judgement" and that the solution was to include citations - this is essential the same argument as that in which Fuelwagon is now involved. Talk:Creation science/Archive 7 is Bensaccount's reply - essentially the same as he is now using with Fuelwagon. Since Bensaccount seemed to take my presence personally, (referring back to a previous debate of ours) I bowed out of the argument, but have been keeping an eye in the discussion as it progressed.
 * Parker Whittle 16:32, 22 August 2005 (UTC) — Bensaccount does not appear to be willing to participate in achieving consensus. All requests to provide support or references for his arguments are met with silence or outright defiance.

 * 5) Somewhat relunctantly, as I think that Bensaccount has and could continue to add some useful input to this page.  However, I have found him consistently unwilling to discuss these matters in a useful way.  In my experience, he generally responds to questions about his positions with a challenge, and he seems unwilling to even consider that in the gray area of what is fact and what is opinion, there is some wiggle room for compromise.Synaptidude 17:50, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) FuelWagon 05:59, 31 August 2005 (UTC) I've moved my certification to "endorse". Bensaccount has stopped pushing the scientific point of view. I'm willing to consider this resolved and wipe the slate clean.
 * 7) Banno 21:19, August 31, 2005 (UTC); Rather than have no edits from Ben, I'd like to see him edit within NPOV guidelines. So if Fuelwagon is willing to give him the chance, so will I.
 * 8) Parker Whittle 15:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC): I concur that the RfC is no longer necessary.

 * This RFC is not what is stopping me from editing. I may come back and try again when I have more time. Until then, don't let such mundane and unimportant things as facts stand in the way of your personal feelings and prejudices. Bensaccount 19:05, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * For anyone new who reads this rfc: Don't listen to these misquotations and incorrect assertions about my position. Check the actual discussion at talk:creation science.

Outside view
''This is a summary written by users not directly involved with the dispute but who would like to add an outside view of the dispute. Users editing other sections ("Statement of the dispute" and "Response") should not edit the "Outside Views" section, except to endorse an outside view.''

Outside view of Linuxbeak
I only needed to look at the first few diffs that were provided in order to realize we had a problem. This isn't an unfixable problem, mind you, but it should be addressed.

I think it would be who of Ben to first off take a step back and realize that the people who RFC'd him aren't attacking him personally. Ben is entitled to his own viewpoints and ideas, and we are not disputing that. In fact, some of the edits that he made were worth some attention, because they provide an opposing viewpoint. However, the manner in which Ben has provided said viewpoints is not acceptable. Example: CS makes the fallacious assumption that Creation is observable. That's a POV statement and in a sense not entirely true. Ben is making an assertation that projects a message that the alleged assumption that Creation is observable has been disproven.

So, to make a long outside view short, unless Ben can provide a reasonable "stopbit" to a theory (facts that disprove a theory beyond a reasonable doubt), it is not appropriate to project his viewpoint as undeniable fact. It is, however, appropriate to provide the viewpoint in such a fashion as to give a reasonable, intellegent opposing stance. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 17:03, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Outside view of Casito
I believe Bensaccount's statement that the creation mentioned in biblical stories cannot be observed and measured (at least by scientific standards) is not a point of view, but rather a truism, given the definition of faith.

That being said, all parties in this dispute have been quite uncivil, carying out dozens of reverts over the course of two days. I feel that both camps have been pushing their particular points of view. Both Bensaccount and FuelWagon have been hostile to one another, and much of the attempted resolution seems more like escalation. Both parties are intelligent, and have histories of good edits. I recommend that both Bensaccount and FuelWagon voluntarily refrain from editing this and similar articles until they can put this dispute behind them. ⇝Casito⇝Talk 06:29, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Darrell Hammond

Date of birth
Was he born in 1955 or 1960? The official date is apparently 1960, but recently it was changed to 1955. Maybe the person who changed it has an inside scoop and knows Hammond's older than he says he is. Personally I'd like to see a source for it, though. Everyking 13:23, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * He was born in 1955. He graduated High School in 1974, so it would have been impossible for him to have been born in 1960.  Also, in a 1997 interview, he stated that he was 42 years old.  IMDB is wrong, they say he was born in 1960, not true.  Many theories exist as to why Hammond's real age isn't widely known.  Some think that it was SNL Producer Lorne Micheals who attempted to make Hammond seem younger than he really is, in order to appeal more to SNL's younger fans. Burroughsks88 23:45, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Someone has changed his DOB back to 1960 (and the year of his graduation to 1973). I'd be surprised if Hammond had graduated high school at 13 and this extraordinary fact were left out of his other biographies.  Does anyone have a reliable source for either set of dates?  -- Heath 24.127.52.67 04:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Wouldn't call it *reliable* but this is simply a mish-mash of facts that together suggest 1955 is the right DOB. According to http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/May/19/en/FP705190305.html he was added to the SNL cast at age 39 and has been doing SNL for 12 years making him 51 now...if he's 51 now he was born late in '55...and we know he was born late in the year.  If people find other references to him joining SNL at 39 (or 34 if 1960, of course) then it can be taken as read that iMDB is in fact wrong.  I have found a lot of sites via google that say he was 39, however you know how copyright-ignorant these sites can be, and they just change a few words to make it look like their own :-)

 * However, IMDB says 1955 not 1960...Borroughs is wrong in his stating that IMDB says 1960 (although that might have been changed since). Someone else has already edited wiki to say 1955 so I won't make any changes SmUX 21:33, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Rehab
In the main SNL Article it says he was in rehab for a time. Anyone know why?--Crestville 22:31, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

 * He has talked about being a heavy drinker and, four four months only, a cocaine user. Source: 3-30-2006 The Howard Stern Show. About 3 hours into the show. tharsaile 20:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

He was caught with cocaine (I think) on a Caribbean island near Jamaica some years ago and spent a few days in jail before his father picked him up. I don't have the specific dates/locations, though.--Leathlaobhair 15:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Al Gore photo
The photo of "Hammond as Gore" that was added today is from today's episode, but that was the actual Gore, not Darrell Hammond. --66.131.119.242 04:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Blackface
The article doesn't make mention of the fact that he is one of the few actors in the world to still perform in blackface. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.252.68 (talk) 22:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Performing in makeup to appear as a different ethnicity than your own is not the same as performing in Blackface. What are you referring to? --PvtDeth (talk) 05:46, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Abuse
The article currently reads: "This trauma from abuse led to cutting, several hospitalizations due to psychiatric issues, and diagnoses which include bipolar disorder and schizophrenia." I question if abuse actually causes cutting, multiple psychiatric holds, etc. Perhaps bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, rather than abuse, lead to cutting and psychiatric holds. Bipolar disorder is known to run in families which he perhaps inherited from his mother. BCDS88 (talk) 00:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC) BCDS88 01/19/2013BCDS88 (talk) 00:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It's properly sourced. Your personal opinion is irrelevant unless you refute the sentence with a reliable source about Hammond, not just the issues of abuse and cutting in general. Cresix (talk) 01:51, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Dogpatch USA
For the archived peer review of this article see Dogpatch USA Peer Review Archive 1 This article is near feature status. Only a few problems with sentence structure, reference, and may be a few italics problems. Hoping it will stay here a week or two and then become featured.--The_stuart 13:31, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * A good article, and it is clear that a lot of work has gone into it, but there are still some problems. The sentence "a kaleidoscope of characters and events would unexpectedly conspire to transform the pot of gold at the end of the Dogpatch rainbow into a financial roller coaster ride which eventually ended in failure" doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. The images also need more information. Some like Image:Dogpatch USA.JPG have copyright information at all. Others just have permission to be used in Wikipedia. Permission for use in Wikipedia is not enough. We need explicit permission that an image can be released under the GFDL. More photos of the park itself, rather than just advertisements, would add to the article. Trivia sections are also bad form. The points there should either be merged elsewhere or deleted. - SimonP 13:59, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * I have contacted the creator of the image and gotten him to release it into the public domain. I have also changed the lead to reflect a more "encyclopedic" tone. The trivia section, however, is kind of a difficult matter because the facts it lists are important yet don't seem to fit into the article anywhere.--The_stuart 21:39, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I integrated the trivia section, any other suggestions?--The_stuart 18:37, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Grant of land to John Glade
WP is the only reference I can see to Glade having purchased his original 50 acres. Several other records would seem to indicate it was a grant, e.g http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2201339. Also, it would seem that although Billyard may have acquired land at Gladesville, that he did not subdivide and sell his section until 1859. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article12979091 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13010442  --Inas66 (talk) 23:34, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Lower North Shore?
Gladesville is Northern Suburbs, not Lower North Shore. The Lower North Shore is above The CBD mostly touching The Harbour. By the time you get to Woolwich Sydney Harbour has turned into The Parramatta River. I guess you could say it's the 'North-West Shore' but Gladesville is Northern Suburbs and not Lower North Shore. 2405:6E00:48F:E430:7504:9E61:4934:8760 (talk) 09:10, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
