User talk:Dmall

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Dmall! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Acetic  ' Acid  10:57, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Henry Marney, 1st Baron Marney

Henry Marney, 1st Baron Marney KG (c. 1447 – 4 May 1523 ) of Layer Marney, Essex was a politician of the Tudor period in England. He was a favourite of Henry VIII and captain of his guard.

Life
He was the son of John Marney and his wife Joan Throckmorton of the Coughton Court Throckmortons. He rose to favour in the Royal household of King Henry VII during the battles of Bosworth and Stoke and following the rout of Perkin Warbeck in 1497. He was appointed to the Privy Council.

When King Henry VIII acceded to the Throne in 1509 Marney was made a Knight of the Garter and honoured with a tranche of public offices, including Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Lord Privy Seal, Vice-Chamberlain of the Household, Warden of the Stannaries and Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard. Along with the other Knights of the Garter he accompanied Henry VIII in 1520 to his meeting with Francis I of France at the Field of the Cloth of Gold.

He was made Keeper of the Privy Seal and ennobled in the last year of his life as the first Baron Marney.

In 1515 he had begun building the Tudor-style Layer Marney Tower in Layer Marney which is now visited by thousands of people annually. The uncompleted house was inherited by his son, John, Governor of Rochester Castle. John continued the building work but died himself just two years later, leaving no male heirs to continue the family line or to complete the construction of Layer Marney.

Marriage and issue
He died in 1523, having married twice, firstly Thomasine, the daughter of Sir John Arundell and secondly Elizabeth (Isobel), the daughter of Sir Nicholas Wyfold, Lord Mayor of London.

With Thomasine he had three children:
 * John, 2nd Baron Marney (who first married Christian Newburgh (b. 1466 – d. 6 August 1517), daughter of Roger Newburgh, then second married c. 1518 Bridget Waldegrave (d. September 1549); his daughters Catherine and Elizabeth survived him),
 * Catherine (who first married Edward Knyvet of Stanway then upon his death married Thomas Bonham, MP (d. 1532), and had issue), and
 * Thomas, who died young

With Elizabeth he had several children, including:
 * Grace (married to Edmund Bedingfield)

Heraldry
In his garter stall, Henry Marney quarters the Marney arms (at 1 and 4) with Sergeaux (at 3) and the senior branch of Venables (at 4) because of his ancestry:

Sir Robert de Marny quartered the arms of his parents, Sir William de Marny and Catherine Venables. He married Alice le Lacer in 1345. Their son was Sir William (c.1370-1414), of Layer Marney, Essex and Kingsey, Buckinghamshire, a Sheriff of Cornwall, then of Essex and Hertfordshire. He married Elizabeth Sergeaux, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Richard Sergeaux of Colquite, Cornwall (d. 30 Sep 1393). Sir William Marney's heir, Thomas, served under Clarence when Henry V first invaded France and was knighted, but he died in 1421, perhaps at Baugé, leaving the family estates to his younger brother John. The latter's son, Sir Henry Marney KG, was created Lord Marney by Henry VIII.

Talk:Eleanor of Castile

Untitled
Im confused by two daughters born May 1271 (7th and 8th children) - were they twins? Do the two entries refer to one child?

 * They were twins. One died, the other (Joan of Acre) survived.

The dates originally reported in this article were erroneous. The daughter born in 1271 died in infancy. Joan of Acre was born sometime in 1272, not 1271. Some authorities claim Eleanor of Castile did have twin daughters, but there is no proof that she did. Regards, John Carmi Parsons.

 * Hi. I'm little confuse abaout the children of Edward I and Eleonor of Castile: Anybody know how exactly was the number?. In some source appears three other daughter: Alice (1279-91), Blanche (b. and d. 1289) and Beatrice (b. and d. 1290). I really appreciate if anybody write to me and explain these. Thanks Aldebaran69 01:39, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

"Castile, Spain "
To say that Eleanor was "born in Castile, Spain" is very much like saying George Washington was born in Virginia, USA.--Wetman (talk) 21:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Eleanor could not be born in Spain because the Kingdom of Spain did not exist at 1241. It would be correct that Eleanor was "born in Castile".--Xavigivax (talk) 16:47, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Picture
What is the provenance of the picture of Eleanor? It's very unlikely that it is anywhere near contemporary; are there actually any 13th century depictions or descriptions of her? TheOneOnTheLeft (talk) 13:44, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Well the picture now on here is out of focus and looks horrible. Anyone have a better one? -- Lady Meg (talk) 04:04, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, and have uploaded a better one which I found on Commons.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:19, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Location of Harby
Why does the page currently state that Harby is 'less than 22 miles from Lincoln'? It is considerably less than 10 miles from Lincoln.82.7.138.114 (talk) 01:00, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Date of birth
The article goes to great lengths to establish the date of her birth as late 1241, yet the side box, introduction and birth year index were all edited to show it as 1244 in October 2014. I have therefore corrected these dates to 1241, which means they are in line with the article's own evidence. Presumably, anyone wishing to revert this change will provide evidence that the birth was in 1244 rather than the commonly accepted 1241.

Her date of birth is sometimes given as 1244, following Agnes Strickland, in her "Lives of the Queens of England" (volume 2, 1841), who states, without showing evidence, that Eleanor was "about ten" at the time of her marriage. The number of candles used in the 1291 commemorative procession, described in the birth section, shows this can't be true. The date of birth of her first, stillborn, child in May 1255 is further evidence. She is highly unlikely to have become pregnant at the age of nine or ten, though twelve or thirteen is perfectly likely. Cliff (talk) 11:52, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Eleanor, the photograph of the statue appears to have been uploaded in breach of copyright, and a deletion notice has been tagged to the file on the Commons.

Historical Legacy
I have expanded the historical legacy section to reflect Eleanor's changing reputation since 1290; particularly to reflect the her status (surprising, post-Strickland) as a grand guignol villain in Elizabethan theatre (George Peele's Edward I) and balladry.

Sources are:

 * Holinshed, Raphael, Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland;
 * Griffin, Eric, English Renaissance Drama and the Specter of Spain: Ethnopoetics and Empire
 * Cockerill, Sara, Eleanor of Castile: The Shadow Queen
 * Fuchs, Barbara; Weissbourd, Emily: Representing Imperial Rivalry in the Early Modern Mediterranean — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.64.126.162 (talk) 03:29, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Antisemitism
So she took the land of one rich guy who happened to be a Jew. She was unpopular for taking land from multiple rich guys who were not Jews. Yet the first somehow justifies a blanket accusation of antisemitism? How do we know she seized the land of that guy because he was a Jew, and not because he was rich?
 * It appears, from the document cited (page 68) to be a loose interpretation at best - "...was imprisoned in the Tower of London under writ of the Great Seal. Later on he was in arrears with tallage-payments, his son was arrested as a hostage, and the king confiscated a number of his bonds. He died at the close of 1279, what was left of his estate having been bestowed by the king on Queen Eleanor"
 * and from Oxford Jewish Heritage website, which says it used the same source we have:"Many of the Jews left England because they were unable to continue their business and it was around this time (in 1264) that Jacob of Oxford sold two buildings to Walter de Merton for the establishment of Merton College. (The original documents detailing this transaction still exist in Merton's Muniment Tower). Queen Eleanor of Castile, Edward I's wife, claimed the entire estate of Jacob of Oxford, the most important Jewish financier of the mid-13th century."217.41.77.102 (talk) 13:51, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Written by a fan or two
Not only does it lack citations, but it reads like it was written by people who are fans of Eleanor. I'm not sure how best to address this tbh. If I get time I will add some cited information on the bits I know about relating to her abuse of Jewish loans etc. Jim Killock (talk) 12:39, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Sara Cockerill biography
I have this to see what it says, I really cannot take it seriously. Although it isn't all wrong, there's plenty in there that is true, her assessment of Eleanor seems way off the mark. She is not a trained historian (nor is Lisa Hilton but she is more level headed). A lot of the material on this page seems to have come from Sara Cockerill, on whom all I can say is, Prince Andrew better hope she's picked if he ever gets taken to court. I am inclined to ignore the book's views and remove any material that comes solely from her, excepting perhaps something at the end regarding opinions. Let me know if this seems wrong. Jim Killock (talk) 00:16, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

 * My views on this has softened; Cockerill is not good on Eleanor as a businesswoman; she overestimates her in many ways and does not wish to discuss the appalling arrangements that stood behind her land acquisitions, but she isn't so bad elsewhere. So I've used her book but more sparingly than Parsons. Jim Killock (talk) 00:08, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Missing references
The page is down to about six missing references for statement that are mostly hard to cut or lose without losing something (eg, the forms of her name; that she was buried at a different location to her current tomb). If anyone can help with any of these I would be very grateful. Jim Killock (talk) 12:13, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

 * These are the bits I can't find sources for, thankfuly just four that seem to matter:
 * Her Castilian name, Leonor, became Alienor or Alianor in England, and Eleanor in modern English.
 * Her body was placed in a grave near the high altar that had originally contained the coffin of Edward the Confessor and, more recently, that of King Henry III until his remains were removed to his new tomb in 1290. Eleanor's body remained in this grave until the completion of her own tomb.
 * When Edward remarried a decade after her death, he and his second wife Margaret of France, named their only daughter Eleanor in honour of her.
 * The estates Eleanor assembled became the nucleus for dower assignments made to later queens of England into the 15th century, and her involvement in this process established a queen-consort's freedom to engage in such transactions.
 * Jim Killock (talk) 17:10, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Todos, list of fixes
These from reading are missing and should be added: Jim Killock (talk) 00:05, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Tidy up land acquisitions section Done
 * Acknowledge planned role in development, selection of lands Done
 * Explain "Eleanor as businesswoman" vs privileged access Done privileged access; need to find quote about her businesswoman aspect, or possibly ignore as not from good sources.
 * Explain access to Jewish loans as patronage system Done
 * When and how this peaked, declined Done
 * Describe all sources of land grants
 * Why this may have made her look grasping (land as income not status)
 * Role of managers
 * Describe relations with tenants
 * Add information on crisis of the knights (is there an article?) Done enough
 * Other sources of income
 * Explain Queen's Gold etc Done
 * Relations with king
 * Source of advice?
 * Personal interests Done

Hi - start a new topic by clicking here.

London Portal
Frankly, all hail for starting it - I jumped in (it should be said on a very irregular basis) because all the people who had hung around WPLondon found better lives (as I said to someone else, I hope it wasn't something I said). It'll have to be on 'as available basis' as sometimes, things turn up. I would hope that others can get involved, if only so I don't always end up choosing the articles and pix. It was a good thing you did and I'll try to keep the body warm for any time you want to jump back in. Good luck with your courses and I wish you all the best for your career. cheers Kbthompson (talk) 23:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Shame about the crest itself - sorry about that I forgot the "no copyright images can be put where noone will find them" thing. Are you sure about the size of the word "England" though ? 12px may be a bit big - how bout 10 ? Can I ask why some of the userboxes on your page are in the original code and not a transclusion? Is it an anti-vandal thing? I only ask because in the usual userbox-harvest I had to copy the code to my space and transclude them. The ones I took were the Copyright, American English and censorship. ☭   мдснєтє тдлкЅТЦФФ 09:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Don't forget that if you move a page, like the basketball player, it's your responsibility to sort out the links which were pointing to him and which now point to the dab page. In this case it looks as if the vast majority are from one template, which I've fixed... it takes a while for a template edit to work through the system, so perhaps you could check the "what links here" for the dab page in a couple of days and mop up anything which still points there aimed at the basketball player. I also tidied up the dab page - added dates etc and hndis. And moved him to "(basketball)", which I think is in line with what it says at WP:NCP about keeping disambiguations short.

Deletion of subpage/redirect
Hello there. Upon checking the redirects to a number of templates, I noticed User:Djr xi/London history. It appears to be the leftover of the move of the template from its sandbox in your userspace to the mainspace; as it holds no history, and there are no links leading to it, I thought that perhaps you wouldn't mind the page's deletion. I cannot have it speedy-deleted, but you can, if you want, using criterion G7. If you'd rather avoid the fuss, I suppose I could do it for you and point to this section, provided you give your consent. (I'm not sure that would work, but I don't see why not.)

Just for the sake of tidying up the place a bit... :-) Waltham, The Duke of 01:01, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Template:Infobox School background color
I saw your comment regarding background color on the talk page for Template:Infobox School. Please take a moment to review the earlier discussion which had resulted in the removal of this functionality on the same talk page.

This discussion, of course, does not finalize the issue. I encourage you to re-open the discussion if you feel strongly about it, but I suggest that you request the addition of BOTH a way to edit the background color AND text color. You may also want to include some of the folks from the original discussion. When you're ready to formally propose some changes, be sure to add the editprotected tag to your post. It's the only way the administrators will know you are seriously proposing the changes.

"This user supports the independence of England (from Scotland, Wales and N.I.)"

independence of england
A country can't be independent of its colonies, it's the other way round. You're not going to tell me India ruled England are you? :) --MacRusgail (talk) 21:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Of course Scotland, Wales and Ireland aren't colonies. That's why they have equal parity with England, take turns at having the UK capital, and their languages all have equal rights within the UK. Get real. Ireland and Wales were conquered, Scotland was annexed and bought out.  Rome cannot be independent of its Empire! --MacRusgail (talk) 18:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

 * My point is that England doesn't become independent of its colonies, they become independent of her. Any other notion is frankly arse backwards and confused. England is in charge, and always has been - that's why.

 * Of course there is one capital, it's called London, and that's why England rules us and not vice versa. London is a problem to the rest of England, let alone anywhere else anyway.--MacRusgail (talk) 11:21, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Crossrail sucks
To the people that say I'm directing my protest at the wrong places....

I contacted crossrail, southeastern trains, tfl, crossrail, downing street and the developers about it with my valid grievances... namely there are now no longer any music venues of that size in london that I can get back from at night due to kent having a very bad train timetable so AT LEAST 75% of gigs now mean I have to get a hotel too - at the price of £50 a time... which i can't afford to do at the moment as due to illness im now the only earner in the household. kent also has bad links to the rest of the country and london is the only city i can get to for gigs - if you live in say milton keynes you can go to several shows on the toue. there is also the fact that the music scene is declining - hammersmith palais has gone, astoria has gone, astoria 2 has gone, electric ballroom soon to go.... the music scene is dying. Astoria was historic but if they replace it I don't care... I care about both affording to go to gigs, and the music scene dying.

Only crossrail bothered to reply to my letters, which were written without moaning, and all they did was link me to an online transcript of a meeting about astoria being demolished. no responding to my grievances from them or any other party.... so i am resorting to extreme measures.... which I am sorry for... but they are needed. In these hard times if people don't care about people being forced to waste their own money, or about the culture and music scene of the country declining then hard times call for a hard response.

Also.... as I said... I can easily reconnect to the net if I am banned or use one of my 4 or 5 users on here.... its not that hard... and to the people that keep messaging me asking which article I'm reffering to - the fact I keep talking about crossrail should be a hint.... and yes I know I'm sarcastic but so? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.252.17 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 31 July 2009

This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 22:45, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

MOTDs (This space for rent)
You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –p joe f (talk • contribs) 08:56, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Garden of Remembrance (Dublin)

It's misleading
As it stands, it's misleading; "because the majority of people do not consider its campaign of violence legitimate". The same applies to the anti-Treaty IRA campaign. The difference is that the support of the latter achieved a critical mass the former did not.

Lapsed Pacifist 10:58, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm a bit puzzled by "critical mass" here; what exactly do you mean? I take it that you're referring to a certain size of minority, but what size is that (and how was it determined)> --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:19, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

A minority large enough to quickly become a majority. Although anti-Treatyites were in the minority during the civil war (63 to 44 in the '23 election), nine years later, (after eschewing violence) the same people took power democratically. No political party in Ireland has since achieved that level of support (i.e. the '23 result) while involved in or supporting subversion.

Lapsed Pacifist 19:33, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

 * But we're talking about the present here ("the majority of people do not consider its campaign of violence legitimate"), not the 1920s. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 10:07, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

It's unclear whether or not a majority of people today consider the anti-Treaty IRA's violence justified, yet that's not mentioned. It's also unclear in the article exactly what post-civil war group is being referred to, although I presume it is the Provisional IRA.

Lapsed Pacifist 20:08, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Irish Civil War
I'm puzzled by the comment The Irish Civil War is generally not commemorated there, as it is still a politically divisive issue. I can see why nobody would want to commemorate it - for one thing, it would be difficult to decide who should be commemorated there and which actions. I thought that it had ceased being divisive some decades ago - the date 1970 sticks in my mind for some reason. (Was it because of the Troubles that it became less important or was the deaths of those who felt most strongly about it?) Autarch 19:44, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Other Groups Commemorated
As stated, the garden is dedicated to all those who gaves their lives for Irish Freedom, therefore it must also be used to commemorate the Provisional IRA, INLA and other groups? No specific group is mentioned to ensure it was a catch-all memorial. While many may not agree with them - they were fighting for Irish Freedom.

Seeing as its an Irish government monument to those fighting for Irish freedom its highly unlikely it commemorates campaigns undertaken by organizations such as PIRA or INLA who do not recognize the legitimacy of the Irish State and were/are illegal organizations within the Irish state. The IRA has been banned since the 1930s and INLA was banned pretty much from its inception. According to http://www.tourist-information-dublin.co.uk/garden-of-remembrance.htm it only commemorates up until the War of Independence. --Bigmeuprudeboy (talk) 17:03, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Children of lir
I recall hearing something about the statue. That it is inspired by the Children but is not the children, as their a too many swans, I've found this not much really if anything to base a change on .Any one else recall this Gnevin (talk) 20:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Price-weighted index

A price-weighted index is a stock market index where each constituent makes up a fraction of the index that is proportional to its component, the value would be:

 * Adjustment Factor = Index specific constant "Z" / (Number of shares of the stock * Adjusted stock market value before rebalancing)

A stock trading at $100 will thus be making up 10 times more of the total index compared to a stock trading at $10.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nikkei 225 are examples of price-weighted stock market indexes.

Alan Mahon

Alan Joseph Mahon (born 4 April 1978) is an Irish former professional footballer who played a midfielder and was capped by the Republic of Ireland.

Early career
Dublin-born Mahon, who was educated at St. James Street Christian Brothers Secondary School in the Irish capital, joined English Football League club Tranmere Rovers in 1995. In five years at the club, Mahon made a total of 144 appearances, scoring fourteen goals. He played in the 2000 Football League Cup Final as Tranmere lost 2–1 to Leicester City at Wembley on 27 February 2000.

On 4 July 2000, he moved to Portugal, joining Portuguese Liga club Sporting CP on a free transfer. He played the first half in a 4–0 defeat in the Champions League to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on 25 October, he was loaned to First Division club Blackburn Rovers on 15 December for the rest of the season, making his debut two days later as an 89th-minute substitute in a 2–0 victory over their Lancashire rivals Burnley at Turf Moor. He was a regular first-team squad member and made eighteen league appearances, as Blackburn finished in second place and were promoted to the Premier League.

Blackburn Rovers
On 29 June 2001, he signed for Blackburn Rovers permanently for a transfer fee of £1.5M. He made his Premier League debut on 22 August in a 2–2 draw with Manchester United at Ewood Park. Three days later he scored Blackburn's first goal in a 2–1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur. He made a total of thirteen league appearances in the 2001–02 season as Blackburn finished in tenth place. He was an unused substitute when Blackburn won the 2002 League Cup, beating Tottenham 2–1 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on 24 February 2002.

After just two league appearances, in the 2002–03 season, on 20 January 2003, Mahon was sent on loan to Second Division Cardiff City for the rest of the season as the Bluebirds won promotion to the First Division. On 8 September 2003, he was loaned out to Ipswich Town, where he made eleven league appearances and scored one goal against Bradford in a three-month loan spell. He returned to Blackburn on 22 December, and made three further league appearances.

Wigan Athletic
Mahon signed for Wigan Athletic on 6 February 2004, stating that he wanted regular first-team football. He made his debut the following day in a 3–1 victory over Ipswich at Portman Road. The following season he made 27 league appearances scoring seven goals as Wigan won promotion to the Premier League.

After starting the 2005–06 season in the first team, he dropped out of favour halfway through the campaign and was allowed to leave, despite being seen as an ongoing squad player by Paul Jewell. On 23 March 2006 he joined Burnley on loan for the rest of the 2005–06 season, making his debut the following day against Norwich City. Jimmy Bullard, a Wigan Athletic player, said that all the players wore black armbands when Mahon left the club.

Burnley
After eight appearances on loan, he joined Burnley permanently on 8 June for £200,000 on a three-year contract. Burnley's then-manager Steve Cotterill described Mahon as "an absolute gem, [he is] the jewel in our crown" and it appeared that Cotterill planned to build Burnley's team around Mahon in the 2006–07 season; however, injuries and a loss of form during the 2006–07 season saw Mahon become a fringe first-team player. In the 2007–08 season, he returned to the first eleven and appeared to have regained the form that he showed when first arriving at Turf Moor. However, injuries plagued his season once again, and he started just 15 games, scoring one goal. The 2008–09 season started the same way, with his being a fringe squad player for the Clarets.

On 14 March 2009, Cotterill's successor as Burnley manager, Owen Coyle, stated that fellow Championship club Blackpool had made an enquiry to take Mahon on loan for the rest of the season, saying: "I won't stand in his way because Alan needs to play. He is a terrific professional who I have so much time for and I am trying to do right by him." Blackpool caretaker manager Tony Parkes confirmed Blackpool's interest in Mahon. Three days later he joined the Tangerines on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut on 21 March in a 1–1 draw with Southampton at Bloomfield Road.

In June 2009, Mahon was released by Burnley at the end of his contract, alongside Gabor Kiraly and Steve Jones.

Tranmere Rovers
On 6 July 2009, he signed a three-year contract with former club Tranmere Rovers. He scored his first goal for Tranmere in a 3–2 defeat against Walsall on 12 September 2009.

In July 2011, and following a series of injuries that kept him out of the first team for the whole of the 2010–11 season, Mahon's contract with Tranmere was terminated by mutual consent.

International career
Mahon played for the Republic of Ireland national under-19 football team in the 1996 UEFA European Under-18 Championship finals in Luxembourg and made his senior international debut on 26 April 2000 as a 54th-minute substitute in a 1–0 friendly defeat to Greece at Lansdowne Road, Dublin. On 11 June he played in another friendly, a 2–1 win over South Africa in Giants Stadium, New York, United States.

Coaching career
In February 2020, Mahon took control of Manchester City Women on an interim basis.

Honours

 * Football League Cup runner-up: 1999–2000

Blackburn Rovers
 * Football League Cup: 2001–02

Individual

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, E.no! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Acetic  ' Acid  11:01, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called E.no. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name E.no~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:34, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Yalta Conference/Archive 1

I think maybe that some one should write about how the Yalta Conference lead to the start of the cold war, but I don't think that I am the one to do it, just a thought Frogprincess1312 06:33, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

- pleas that were useless in any case as the Soviets firmly controlled Eastern Europe- it is a personal opinion and assumption, not a historical fact. Just look at "firmly controlled" Austria for reference.Halibutt 18:26, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * As long as the USSR had a military presence in Germany it needed a military presence in the neighbouring country (Poland) and in order to have a military presence in Poland it needed a friendly government in Poland. PMA 10:34, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Defence of Yalta
I tried to rewrite this naive para ("failure was...in the Soviets' failure to keep their word. Roosevelt did not cede to Stalin the right to control Eastern Europe." - he didn't? So in other words, was Roosevelt naive and incompetent? and the phrase "Stalin made USSR a dictatorship" is simply wrong - USSR was a dicatatorsip long before Stalin) but ended with something rather POVed - if in the second direction, so I am pasting my rewritten para here, for your comments and improvement: "However, some argue that the failure was not in the Yalta Agreement, but in Western Allies belief that Stalin's dicatorship could be trusted. Neither Roosevelt nor Churchill did not cede - officialy - to Stalin the right to control Eastern Europe. The Yalta Agreement guaranteed free elections for Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. However it is hard to comprehend how the Western Allies could have honestly believe Stalin's promise, given USSR past and present behaviour - the Katyn Massacre, its hostility to Polish government-in-exile and its persecution of Armia Krajowa members engaged in the Operation Tempest. The USSR intentions were clerly visible in the Trial of the Sixteen which took place near the same time as the Yalta conference. It was Stalin's treachery and ruthless ambition -- coupled with Western Allied leaders incompetence and desire for 'peace at all costs' -- that paved the way for the division of Europe and the allowed the Cold War. After 1945 the United States did not respond because they feared a third world war and because of (by 1949) a threat of nuclear war." --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 12:55, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

19 June 2005:

I deleted this paragraph:

'The truth, as always, lies somewhere in between. Undoubtedly, Stalin's treachery and ruthless ambition — coupled with Western Allied leaders' realisation, when faced with a multi-million Red Army standing on Elbe, that there is little will in their electorates to wage a new war to push the Russians east of the Curzon line — that paved the way for the division of Europe and the Cold War.'

I did this for a number of reasons: 1) the second sentence is simply ungrammatical 2) 'The truth, as always, lies somewehere in between?' Does it? Perhaps someone wants to argue this point on a page to do with the philosophy of history - but why import broad statements like this into historical articles? 3)'Undoubtedly'? Is anything undoubted in history? 4)'treachery and ruthless ambition'. Without being an apologist for Stalin, again I just don't see the need to use this kind of language. (As an aside - I wonder are treachery and ambition really sins when it comes to high politics? You might look at Churchill's own career for someone who could have given Stalin a run for his money on these lines. Maybe saying a world leader is guilty of ambition or duplicity seems a bit like saying that dogs bark. But more importantly, how does it add anything useful to the analysis of an event like Yalta?) 5) other than that I didn't think the paragraph added much that wasn't already contained in the text above it. Apart from the 'treachery and ruthless ambition' theory, the only substantive new point was about electoral will - I moved this up into the para above.

I also altered the line 'Stalin had ambitions to spread communism to eastern Europe and beyond'. I think this is debatable. You migh argue that Stalin's motivation was to create a military buffer zone around Russia, rather than to pursue any ideological vision. It may then have been that 'spreading communism' was the best way to achieve a military objective - but the issues are complex. How far 'beyond' Stalin wanted to extend Soviet influence is also a massive question. I changed the line to 'Stalin had ambitions to spread Soviet control to eastern Europe,' which I think leaves these issues more or less untouched. The article on Foreign Relations of the Soviet Union - or perhaps the article on Stalin - might be a better place to go into these questions. Falco.

 * Dear Anon/Falco. Welcome to Wiki. I agree with your NPOVing of this paragraph, as you merged the only important sentence 'Western electorates would support a new war to push the Russians east of the Curzon line' into the prevoious one. Please register if you plan on doing more edits or discussion in the talk pages - it will make it easier for you to edit and us to recongnize it is you who is doing the edits. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 15:33, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Challenging the conventional wisdom on Yalta
The concluding paragraph of this article perpetuates a common misconception about the Yalta conference: "It was Stalin's treachery and ruthless ambition -- coupled with Western Allied leaders' incompetence and desire for 'peace at all costs' -- that paved the way for the division of Europe and the allowed the Cold War."

By the time of the Yalta conference in February, 1945, Soviet armies had already driven the Germans out of most of Poland, the Baltic countries, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia and the rest of eastern Europe. By that time, lead elements of a Soviet force of 215 divisions were already within 30 miles of Berlin.

If Roosevelt or Churchill had been more forceful in demanding free elections or a postwar Soviet withdrawal, Stalin would have had little incentive to agree. After all, the only alternative for Roosevelt and Churchill was a full-scale attack on the powerful Soviet armies after the German surrender, at a time when the Pacific war was still going full tilt and the atom bomb hadn't yet been tested. The Yalta agreement contained some pieties about "democratic elections" in the occupied countries, but Stalin's past history should've lowered expectations to zero. There was finally just one way to get Stalin's armies out of Poland and the rest of eastern Europe: an invasion.

 * Still Stalin did back down to DIPLOMATIC pressure in Greece, see Greek_Civil_War. We wouldn't know if he would back down from Central&Eastern Europe, as C&R didn't pressure him much...--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:41, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Again I'd refer to the reality on the ground: British troops occupied much of Greece following the German withdrawal in 1944, resulting in immediate armed conflict between the British and much of the anti-Nazi (and pro-communist) resistance movement.  Stalin chose not to intervene, consigning Greece to the postwar British sphere of influence.  In fact, Stalin may have inferred from British actions in Greece that he had free rein to suppress the anti-Soviet resistance in eastern Europe (see Weinberg, cited below, at pp. 727, 803). M.J. O'Brien 23:30, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Agreed, this doesn't explain why he didn't back off when he met Allies forces in other places - Germany, for example. I.e. whatever specific reasons forced him out of Greece, why didn't they apply to other places Soviet Red Army advanced to? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Except the Soviet armies never occupied Greece. The British simply moved in after the Germans, in response to the Soviet offensives in the Balkans, withdrew in the fall of 1944.  If the Soviets had succeeded in occupying Greece, the result there might have been very different.  M.J. O'Brien 09:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Stalin faced a similar choice: either continue the war or accept the reality of Anglo-American domination of western Europe. The Yalta agreement left many issues unresolved, but it recognized the military realities that would exist at the end of the war.

The Yalta provisions about forced repatriation of Russian prisoners and emigres were indefensible. But this was the result of a British initiative earlier in the war, not FDR's folding to pressure from Stalin. This decision led to thousands of executions (though it must be said that many of the repatriated Russian prisoners had fought alongside the Nazis).

Rather than begin a new and politically-unacceptable war, Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill had little choice but to accept the situation defined by their armies. Whatever its many flaws, it's absurd to compare Yalta, as George W. Bush did last week, to "Munich and the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact." It's also unfair to accuse Roosevelt and Churchill of "incompetence," given the limited choices facing them.

 * Why? You yourself said that new war was 'politically-unacceptable' - politics played an important role at Yalta - as they did during Munich ir M-R negotiations. All sides were tired, and Western Allies didn't want to fight Soviets, even if it meant some of their allies would be in fact defeated (i.e. occupied by Soviets). The UK and other allies went to war once to save Poland and stop Hitler. They didn't have the will to do so again against Stalin. Understandable from realpolitk view - but deplorable nonetheless from moral viewpoint. The invasion could proceed quickly (also this is alternative history speculation, always :>), as the war in Japan ended soon after capitualtion of Germany, and there was a good chance it wasn't needed - Stalin would have likely backed down if threatened with rain of nukes (he didn't know US had none at that time). What really puzzles me is not that they didn't launch an invasion - as I wrote, it is understandable - but why didn't they put more diplomatic pressure on Stalin, recognize the governments in exile, even go forward to bluff with some threats? Wasn't their allies freedom worth at least a good diplomatic effort? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:41, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * The U.K. and France had a treaty obligation to defend Poland in 1939. Though both dutifully declared war on Hitler after the invasion, they were unable to intervene on behalf of their Polish allies.  The result was the long "phony war" that continued for seven months and ended with the invasion of France.  The western allies were certainly in no better position to intervene militarily in Poland in 1945 than they were in 1939.

 * How so?? I agree with the Phony War part (setting aside that they could have told to Polish government they were signing treaties they couldn't hold to...). But in 45 they had a large army in Europe, experienced and generally prepared to advance east, and the threat of nukes against any opposition. How can you call this 'no better positio'? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

 * [See my response to Balcer below. M.J. O'Brien 09:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)]

 * By the time of the Yalta conference, there's no convincing evidence that the U.S., the U.K. or the U.S.S.R. had "the will" to wage a second colossal war in central Europe. Even before the existing conflict ended, the British and French were far more focussed on recovering their lost colonies than on the future of eastern Europe.

 * True. My point exactly - this para deserves to be copied to main article. They might had the strenght, they certainly didn't have the will. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Perhaps more diplomatic pressure on Stalin would have produced more paper concessions, but he later showed little inclination to honor the commitments made at Yalta. Prior and subsequent events showed that Stalin would never have relinquished control of eastern Europe without direct military compulsion.  Call it a concession to realpolitik, but the map of Europe would have looked the same in 1946 no matter what Churchill and Roosevelt did at Yalta.  The presence of hundreds of divisions, from all sides, created a de facto political situation in Europe that negotiations were unlikely to alter.

 * Well, this is speculation. It might, it might have not, but the fact is it wasn't tried - and would this diplomatic pressure, ineffective as it might have been, cost anything? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, this is speculation and no, more diplomatic pressure wouldn't have cost anything. I think this is a fair criticism of Roosevelt and Churchill at Yalta. M.J. O'Brien 09:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * As for the "rain of nukes," even a limited nuclear attack in eastern Europe would've produced untold thousands of civilian deaths, many from the lingering effects of radiation poisoning, and incalculable environmental damage. This prospect evokes the infamous quote from the Vietnam war:  "We had to destroy the village in order to save it."  Such a war would have been morally indefensible in the extreme.  Even with a U.S. nuclear monopoly until 1949, an invasion of eastern Europe to enforce the Yalta agreements was never a serious military or political option.  It's an open question whether Stalin would have responded to overt nuclear blackmail, but there's little evidence from his behavior that he was intimidated by the relatively small nuclear arsenal developed by the U.S. between 1945 and 1949. M.J. O'Brien 23:30, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * It didn't stop their usage in Japan - AFAIK the radiation dangers etc. were not known (much about) in 45. I am not saying I'd like to see my home nuked, just that it was a diplomatic card that was never played. Until 49, Allies had a powerful card that could have weakened Soviets - and never used it...--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

 * It's surprising that this "powerful card" wasn't used to advantage during the Berlin blockade by the Soviets from 1948-49. Truman apparently concluded that the American public would not support a war over access to Berlin.  All in all, though, I still have to conclude that Stalin would not have yielded on eastern Europe in the face of military threats, intimidation or even ultimatums.  The evidence shows that he was absolutely committed to consolidating his hold on most of the territories occupied by his armies at the close of the war. M.J. O'Brien 09:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

This charge against Roosevelt makes as much sense as the claim that Truman "lost" China in 1949. In both cases the military realities on the ground were simply acknowledged by all sides.

Sources: "A World at Arms" by Gerhard L. Weinberg (1994), pp. 802-09 and  http://www.bartleby.com/67/2621.

 * M.J. O'Brien 23:30, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

The root of the bitterness which Eastern Europeans feel about Yalta is this: at Yalta the West has demonstrated that it considers them expendable. If in 1945 the Red Army had control of Paris or Rome and wanted to impose communist regimes there, I think it almost certain that Britain and USA would go to war with the Soviets over the issue. This is because France and Italy are countries considered "essential" to Western civilisation. But Poland was among "far away countries of which we know nothing" as Chamberlain has so eloquently put it. Balcer 17:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

 * This is a strong argument that can only be rebutted by a resort to "realpolitik." The invasion of France, the Low Countries and Germany itself had been very costly to the U.S. and the U.K., and the French had a limited ability in 1945 to provide military support for anti-Soviet offensives in the east.  British reserves of manpower were exhausted and the U.S. had already begun to transfer troops, including the entire 1st Army, to the Pacific Theater even before the end of the European war (see Weinberg, cited above, p. 872).  Above all, there was clearly no appetite, anywhere, for a military confrontation among the former allies.

 * There seems to be a myth about Yalta that goes something like this: if only Roosevelt, despite his illness, had demonstrated more will, more resolution, the postwar map of Europe would have been transformed and eastern Europe would have been spared the miseries of Stalinist rule.  There's some truth to this criticism, which is a variant of the "great man" view of history.  But the harsh realities, including the de facto zones of military occupation, placed serious constraints on the ability of Roosevelt and Churchill--as well as Stalin--to exact major diplomatic concessions.

 * Thirteen million Russian soldiers had died to defeat Germany and Stalin had ambitions to spread communism to eastern Europe and beyond. Despite its staggering losses, the Soviet Union was emerging from the war with a modern, mechanized army and air force that were only rivaled by the U.S.  These circumstances made it very unlikely that Stalin would yield to even the most intense pressure from his allies at Yalta.  M.J. O'Brien 09:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Well said. This discussion definetly yielded several paras worth of direct copying into the article - I will do it when I have some time - or one of you will? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 10:12, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Squeeze80.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Squeeze80.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Shigpit/Split Enz

A tag has been placed on User:Shigpit/Split Enz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://web.archive.org/web/20030421003339/http://www.milesago.com/Artists/enz.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * It now turns out that the version of the article you copied here in good faith in 2006 had been a copyvio since 2004. I'm sorry, but I don't believe your page can be kept. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:22, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Better source request for File:SteveRothman.jpg
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia: You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
 * File:SteveRothman.jpg

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:58, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
