Robert Duncan (bishop)

Robert William Duncan (born July 5, 1948) is an American Anglican bishop. He was the first primate and archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) from June 2009 to June 2014. In 1997, he was elected bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. In 2008, a majority of the diocesan convention voted to leave the diocese and the Episcopal Church and, in October 2009, named their new church the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. (The Episcopal Church continued to maintain its Diocese of Pittsburgh under new leadership.) Duncan served as bishop for the new Anglican diocese until 10 September 2016 upon the installation of his successor, Jim Hobby.

Duncan served as moderator of the Anglican Communion Network from 2003 to 2009 and chairman of the Common Cause Partnership from 2004 until the creation of the Anglican Church in North America. He has honorary doctorates from General Theological Seminary (1996) and Nashotah House (2006). At the time of Duncan's departure from the Episcopal Church, he was described as "probably the top conservative Episcopal bishop in America".

Early life and ministry
Duncan was born in Bordentown, New Jersey, in 1948. His mother suffered from mental illness and he found refuge from the tumult of his family life in prayer and meditation at Christ Episcopal Church in Bordentown.

Duncan attended Bordentown Military Institute where he graduated valedictorian. He then entered Trinity College (A.B. cum laude) in Hartford, Connecticut. After graduating from Trinity in 1970, he enrolled at the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church (M.Div., DD honoris causa) in New York. During his time at seminary, he also studied Scottish history at Edinburgh University.

Duncan was ordained as a deacon on April 22, 1972, and as a priest on October 28, 1973, the feast of Saints Simon and Jude. His first assignments were at the Chapel of the Intercession in New York City; at Grace Church in Merchantville, New Jersey; and a short period at Christ Church in Edinburgh. From 1974 to 1978, he served as assistant dean at the General Seminary. He spent the next four years in campus ministries at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, serving as assistant rector for campus ministries at the Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In 1982, he was called to be rector of St. Thomas' parish in Newark, Delaware, where he served for 10 years.

Election as bishop
Duncan was a candidate for Bishop of Colorado in 1990. In 1992, Alden M. Hathaway, then Bishop of Pittsburgh and a noted theological conservative, named Duncan his canon to the ordinary.

In 1995 Duncan was elected as bishop coadjutor of the diocese of Pittsburgh and succeeded Hathaway upon his retirement in 1997. Duncan was not among the nominating committee's candidates, but instead nominated from the floor of the convention, however, and was eventually elected. The Diocese of Pittsburgh was at that time considered by many in the Episcopal Church to be one of the most conservative and evangelical dioceses in the Episcopal Church. Duncan served on the program committee of the Network for Anglicans in Mission and Evangelism, an agency created at the 1998 Lambeth Conference.

Conservative leadership
Duncan quickly became the head of a group of Episcopal leaders hoping to maintain conservatism within the denomination. When openly gay priest Gene Robinson was elected Bishop of New Hampshire, Duncan voiced strong opposition to the election. After Robinson's election was confirmed by the church's general convention on August 5, 2003, Duncan acted as spokesman for a group of conservative bishops and lay leaders at a press conference expressing disappointment at Robinson's election. Duncan denounced the election claiming that the Episcopal Church had "departed from the historic faith and order of the Church of Jesus Christ". Duncan and Robinson were members of the same GTS class, both having taken their MDiv degrees in 1973.

In January 2004, Duncan became the leader of the newly formed Network of Anglican Communion Dioceses and Parishes, a conservative action group whose stated mission was to allow "Episcopalians to remain in communion with the vast majority of the worldwide Anglican Communion who have declared either impaired or broken communion with the Episcopal Church (United States)."

At the March 17, 2005, meeting of Episcopal Church's House of Bishops, Duncan read a speech in which he admitted that the rift between the two sides may be "irreconcilable". In a possible sign of schism, St. Brendan's, a liberal parish in Franklin Park, Pennsylvania, announced in February 2005 that it no longer wished to be under Duncan's oversight.

In July 2007, Duncan made remarks criticizing Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, for inadequately supporting "orthodox" breakaways from ECUSA, declaring, "The cost is his office... To lose that historic office is a cost of such magnitude that God must be doing a new thing." The statement critical of the Anglican Communion's worldwide leader led Ephraim Radner to resign from the Anglican Communion Network, which he had assisted in founding, out of a concern that "Bishop Duncan has, in the end, decided to start a new church." Radner explained, "Bishop Duncan has now declared the See of Canterbury and the Lambeth Conference — two of the four Instruments of Communion within our tradition — to be 'lost'." At the request of Rowan Williams, Duncan attended the 2007 Primates' Meeting in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Deposition in the Episcopal Church
On January 15, 2008, the Title IV Review Committee of the Episcopal Church certified that, in its opinion, Duncan had "abandoned the Communion of this Church". Pending completion of this process, the three most senior bishops in the Episcopal Church had the option to inhibit Duncan from ministry but chose not to. In her letter to Duncan, the Presiding Bishop stated that she "would welcome a statement by you within the next two months providing evidence that you once more consider yourself fully subject to the doctrine, discipline and worship of this Church." Duncan replied by letter on March 14, 2008. In his response he denied all charges levelled against him.

On September 18, 2008, the House of Bishops voted that Duncan be deposed from ordained ministry on charges of "abandoning the communion of the Episcopal Church". Immediately following the vote, Duncan was named a bishop-at-large of the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone.

Following the vote in ECUSA's House of Bishops the Presiding Bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, formally deposed Duncan. In the sentence Jefferts Schori declared that "from and after 12:01 a.m., Saturday, 20 September 2008, Bishop Duncan shall be deprived of the right to exercise the gifts and spiritual authority of God's word and sacraments conferred at ordination in this Church and further declare[s] that all ecclesiastical and related secular offices held by Bishop Duncan shall be terminated and vacated at that time." The legal validity of the decree of deposition was questioned by Duncan's attorney.

Duncan was elected the bishop of the now Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh 50 days after his deposition by the Episcopal Church.

Primate of the Anglican Church in North America
On June 21, 2009, the bishops of the Anglican Church in North America elected Duncan as the first archbishop and primate of North America. He was installed on June 25, 2009, at Christ Church in Plano, Texas. At the ceremony, conservative Anglicans in the developing world were represented by Benjamin Nzimbi, the archbishop of the African Anglican Province of Kenya. Kenya was one of nine provinces of the Anglican Communion that sent representatives to the ACNA conference. Duncan stated that his role as archbishop was to "reunite a significant portion of our Anglican Church family here in North America" and indicated that he intended to serve for five years before stepping down.

In October 2009, Duncan reacted to the Roman Catholic Church's proposed creation of personal ordinariates for disaffected traditionalist Anglicans by saying that although he felt that this provision would probably not be utilized by the great majority of ACNA's affiliated laity and clergy, he would happily bless those who were drawn to participate in this historic offer.

At the Provincial Council of the ACNA, held at Long Beach, California, on 21 June 2011, Duncan made a positive balance of the first two years of the church: "According to the data submitted in the Annual Parochial Reports there were, in the year 2010, 987 baptisms of adults over thirty, 424 baptisms of young people aged sixteen to thirty, and 1647 baptisms of children in the ACNA dioceses, not including the congregations of our Ministry Partners. What is so stunning about this data is that the number of baptisms of those 16 and older is almost equal to the number of children baptized. What this says is that we are reaching adolescents and adults who have never known Christ, never been part of a church. This is to reach North America with the transforming love of Jesus Christ, one sign among many that something quite extraordinary is unfolding."

Duncan was one of the signatories of the statement of the Christian Associates of Southwest Pennsylvania, an organization representing 26 denominations, on April 13, 2012, expressly supporting the Roman Catholic Church in its opposition to the HHS mandate that would force Roman Catholic hospitals in the United States to pay for birth control methods not in accordance with the doctrine of the church.

With Bishop Ray Sutton, Duncan attended a public audience in the Vatican at the invitation of Pope Benedict XVI, on 28 November 2012, whom they met and greeted afterwards on behalf of the Anglican Church in North America and the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans.

He had a meeting of four hours and a half with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, in May 2013, at Welby's invitation. He was also one of the attendants of the GAFCON II, held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 21 to 26 October 2013.

Afterwards
Duncan attended GAFCON III, held in Jerusalem, on 17–22 June 2018. He currently serves as bishop-in-residence at St Peter's Cathedral, Tallahassee FL.

Toseland is a village and civil parish in Cambridgeshire, England. It is in Huntingdonshire which is a non-metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire and a historic county of England. Nearby parishes within Cambridgeshire include Yelling, Gravely, Great Paxton and St Agnes.

History
The name Toseland is Scandinavian and has connections to the Old Norse word lundr, translated as a grove.

Toseland gave its name to one of the four hundreds of Huntingdonshire. Gazetteer John Marius Wilson defined Toseland as:"'a parish and a hundred in Hunts. The parish lies 3¼ miles NE of St. Neots r. station, and is in St. Neots district. Post town, St. Neots. Acres, 1,320. Real property, £1,585. Pop., 217. Houses, 44. The property is divided among a few. The manor-house is a handsome ancient edifice, now occupied by a farmer'."

Social status
A historic census carried out in 1831 detailed the categorisation of status within occupation in the parish. From the highest to the lowest: Employers, Middling Sorts, Labourers & Servants and others; notably most of the population was Labourers.

Landmarks
The parish church of St Michael (St Mary in earlier records) dates to the 12th century and is Grade II* listed. Toseland Hall is a 17th-century Grade II* listed manor house to the west of the village centre, built from brick with a tiled roof. The Manor is two stories high and contains attics and the moulded bricks are constructed with a geometric pattern. It was built by Nicholas Luke around 1600 who was at the time was also the lord of the manor and has been owned by various prominent figures such as Dean of Ely Cathedral in 1624. During the 1881 census the property was occupied by Alfred Maine who was a farmer that owned more than 350 acres of land and since then has been used for agricultural purposes such as cultivating land.

Geography
The 1900 6-inch Ordnance Survey map showed the parish as having an area of 1342.248 acres. Toseland is situated in the county of Cambridgeshire located in the East of England. The parish is approximately 58 m (190 ft) above the sea level; Toseland's post code (PE19) is categorised as non-residential. Domestic gardens use up most of the land area compared to domestic, non-domestic buildings and roads, taking up approximately 102.13 m2 in thousands as shown by the enhanced base map of UK areas in 2005.

Government
Toseland has a parish council, which consists of five councillors and a parish clerk. The parish council meets approximately five times a year. The parish precept for the financial year ending 31 March 2015 was £700.

Huntingdonshire District Council has 52 councillors representing 29 district wards. Huntingdonshire District Council collects the council tax, and provides services such as building regulations, local planning, environmental health, leisure and tourism. Toseland is a part of the district ward of Gransden and The Offords and is represented on the district council by two councillors.

In 2011, the parish covered an area of 1339 acre and the population density of Toseland in 2011 was 53.1 persons per square mile (20.5 per square kilometre). According to the 2011 UK neighbourhood statistics census Toseland was listed as part of Yelling and the combined population was recorded as 411.

Occupation

In the late 19th century occupations in Toseland were mainly local in nature with the vast majority of jobs being in Domestic Offices/ Services and the least in primary agricultural jobs such as farming, cultivating animals as well as unspecified commodities. Almost half of the known population was unemployed and were women. These figures are documented in the table below sourced from the 1881 Census of England and Wales. As of today most occupations in the parish tend to be professional occupations (make up 29% of the total jobs in the Toseland and Yelling area) especially scientific engineering, technology and telecommunications as well as environmental conservation.

Isn't Nicko also a private pilot? Seems like I remember reading that Bruce picked up the hobby from him? --Jkonrath 21:09, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Which is the correct year of birth? 1952 or 1954? Google doesn't aids in this (Sorry for my english...) --Sbisolo 09:15, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

 * IMDb  reckons, as I do, that it is 1952 - not 1954, as is currently stated in the article. Any takers ?!

i too am confused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.225.25.37 (talk) 22:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

It's definitely 1952. The band's official biography states this, and it's even in online birth records from June 1952. --MikeMetaled (talk) 00:30, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Sources differ, even when coming from official material. In the "Authorized Biography" by Mick Wall, it's 1952, whereas on the "family tree", included in the Eddie's Archive box set, it's 1954. --Voxem (talk) 13:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Religion?
It says that he converted to Christianity - so what was he before? Buddhist, Jewish, Pastafarian, Shiite or Siitake?

 * Very good question. Considering the fact that he is British (protestant or catholic, it doesn't matter), how can he convert to something he already is? I mean, one may not believe, but still have a certain background. Oh, I forgot, after "Number..." it was clear that all members of Maiden were Satanists...;-)--80.133.202.208 15:30, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Non religious/agnostic/atheist? -- Mark ( Talk  |  Contribs  |  Email ) 13:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * There is an article about Nicko and Christianity here and you can look at his church website here. --E tac 07:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd say he was probably an agnostic or at least non-religious. IronCrow 19:35, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

 * In common language (at least here in the US), any person who becomes a Christian is generally described as having "converted to Christianity", regardless of their previous religious background (or lack thereof). He therefore did not necessarily have to have held any particular "philosophy", religous or otherwise, in order for it to accurately be said that he converted.  -Grammaticus Repairo 02:48, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I'd like to raise this issue once more. In most European countries, for the most part of 20th century, huge majority (in many cases over 90%) of the people belonged to various Protestant "national churches" (like the Church of England in this case) or various "national" dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church. Even if you were in no way religious or never attended any religious services, you would still have wedding at the church and you would baptize your children because that was how things were done. Everyone who had once been baptized and hadn't explicitly stated that they were an atheist were considered Christian, even if not "religious Christian". Only outspoken atheists and freethinkers would bother to officially resign from the church and refuse to baptize their children, instead registering them in the magistrate's office of some kind. Of course, there were some people with immigrant backgrounds who were Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or whatever and some who belonged to the various American-style "independent churches", but they were few and far between.
 * For example, consider you were living in 1970s Great Britain and you had a close co-worker who was clearly not of recent immigrant background. If were you to ask him/her "Are you a Christian?" he/she would have been baffled. "What a silly question! Of course I am a Christian! Aren't you? I've been baptized, I went to the Sunday school, my wedding was at the church! Do I look like a Hindu?" If, however, you were to ask him/her "Are you religious?" he/she would have answered "Well, not really. I've been baptized but the last time I went to church was at my wedding/last Christmas/whatever. I'm not sure if I believe in God either."
 * Only people following a completely different religion could have been "converted" to Christianity. Even if a former atheist who had nonetheless been baptized in his childhood wanted to rejoin the church, he was not "converting" to the Christian religion. Instead, he had just became "estranged" from it, had "had his doubts" or something like that. Therefore, I'm 95% certain that all Iron Maiden musicians were baptized either into the Church of England or the Roman Catholic Church in England and about 80% certain that they (apart from Nicko McBrain) are still card-carrying members of their respective churches. Most likely they (again, apart from Nicko McBrain) are not very "religious", rarely attend religious services (if at all) and do not place huge importance on religious matters in their daily lives. But by European definition, they are still Christians. The current wording for this article therefore suggests to the average European reader that mr. McBrain was previously a Jew, a Zoroastrian, a Taoist or something like that, or that he had been a fervent atheist and non-member of any religious organization through his whole life, both of which are increasingly unlikely options. A better way to put these things would be to say that he had a "religious experience" and soon after became a member of Presbyterian church called Spanish River Church in Boca Raton, Florida. In that way, we wouldn't speculate with his earlier religious background of which we can't have any certainty. JJohannes (talk) 22:58, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Cleanup
Also this article looks like it could use some work. --E tac 07:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Drumming on The X Factor and Virtual XI
"There have been controversial claims made in recent years that Nicko was absent during the recording of the two Blaze Bayley era albums, X Factor and Virtual XI. Some say this is proved by the complete lack of drum fills on these albums, and the general drum grooves, which lack any recognisable Nicko characteristics. However these claims have generally been dismissed by the band, and Nicko himself - Blaze Bayley in particular has labelled the claims as 'bollocks'." I knew this would come up sooner or later, and here it is. It's safe to say all these claims are ungrounded...in numerous interviews he has stated he relaxed the drumming to allow more room for the guitars and bass. Just taking a different approach to his playing. Some people can't understand that musicians deviate and develop and experiment with new things. Anyway, I digress. It would be nice if someone could come with a proper citation for Nicko denying this...the best I could find was a forum post written by someone who met with Blaze Bayley, who denied it totally. -- Mark ( Talk  |  Contribs  |  Email ) 21:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I would like to add that we are perhaps not looking at these claims in the correct manner. I would not agree that Nicko's playing is 'relaxed', but I would agree with claims that the drumming on these recordings is unrecognisable. If there were a few less drum-fills etc, then the 'relaxed' claim would hold water. However, there are absolutely NO drum-fills on Virtual XI of any kind! I think it is absolutely incredible that this has not been addressed properly. The drums sound like chopped up loops of a very average drummer. Nicko has finesse and style and is instantly recognisable. These recognisable attributes are completely absent on Virtual XI. It would be very interesting to know the truth. Sincerely, Simon Harrison. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.159.232.15 (talk • contribs).

 * But what about McBrain's claims that the drumming on Sign of the Cross is the most difficult song to perform live? You'd think if a lesser drummer played it on the album, it would not be something Nicko woukd consider difficult. --E tac 12:15, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Both valid points. I do, however, know for a fact that Nicko has denied this in one or more interviews. He said it was because he wanted to take a new angle on the music and keep it spartan to leave plenty of room for the other instruments. It would be really nice if we could get a link to such an interview, or even a citation from a book. In the meantime, I'm going to get hunting... (some wikibreak this is turning out to be!) -- Mark ( Talk  |  Contribs  |  Email ) 19:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I removed the paragraph, as there is no source information for it.--E tac 23:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks, probably the best action to take. -- Mark ( Talk ) 12:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Nicko said that the Sign of the Cross is the most difficult song to perform live because of the time changes that span the song (He said this on Rock in Rio, by the way). Regardless of technical aptitude, time changes can be hit and miss - especially in a song where it changes four or five times. GotB (talk) 00:43, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Name!
Nicko's name is actually Michael McBain. Because he was joining Iron Maiden at the recording of "Piece of Mind" they thought it would be fun to change his last name to McBrain. It has since stuck. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pendragyn (talk • contribs).
 * I was wondering if someone would bring that up. That was in just about every interview he did back around the Piece of Mind era. I tried to find a reference for it in an "archived interview" web source but haven't dug one up yet. 156.34.142.110 16:32, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Isn't he credited as "McBain" on "Piece of Mind"? At least on the original editions from the early eighties? I seem to recall that that was the case, and that would be a verifiable source. -Duribald (talk) 18:47, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Didn't he use a double bass for "Where Eagles Dare"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.53.184 (talk) 21:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

 * No, there was only one song (when playing for Maiden) that he has used a double bass pedal on: "Face in the Sand"

 * He's not a big fan of them and considers them (his word) "un-drummerish"

Rolling Stone 100 greatest drummer list?
Where is this list? I couldn't find it online. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.71.136 (talk) 12:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's because it doesn't exist. Some person or persons made it up and put the magazine's name on it. Several people have been fooled.  I suspect this because it tells classic rock fans what they want to hear.  Namely, that with one interloper, Peart, Bonham and Moon are the three best ever, and that almost all drummers that became popular before 1967 or are funk and soul drummers can be ignored.  Anyone who believes it is authentic should specify which issue of Rolling Stone it appeared in. 24.187.214.210 (talk) 16:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Small issues with American perspective
Nothing wrong with an American perspective, though in the case of the article (and to be pedantic) there’s a couple of small issues... firstly we don’t "graduate from school" in the UK. Of course we take exams, which help in life and generally are used to get into tertiary education like University or to gain employment, but there’s no “graduation”. That comes later at tertiary education like university.

So we would say “after he left school” or something like that. We just leave. It’s quite odd for people in the UK to hear American people say "I didn't graduate from school so I went back to gain a certificate" or similar, as it's an alien concept to us. For example, in the UK one could get zero qualifications at school (for various reasons, socio-economic, for example), but still later go into tertiary education as a mature student and study for a degree.

Secondly, nothing against McBrain, but Southgate Technical College doesn't really award "degrees". The engineering qualification he received was a no doubt a diploma of some sort. The college presently does a 2-year "foundation degree" in business management, but this "foundation degree" terminology wasn't around in the 70s. It's a relatively new thing, and is the equivalent to two-thirds of an honours bachelor's degree. A degree in the UK is really a three-year course, and it sounds like McBrain quite swiftly became a rock n roller, so one imagines he took an engineering diploma of some sort.

7 (Prince song)

"7" is a song by American musician Prince and the New Power Generation, from their 1992 Love Symbol Album. It was released in late 1992 as the third single from the album, and became the most successful in the United States. It features a sample of the 1967 Lowell Fulsom song "Tramp" and is composed of heavy drums and bass in an acoustic style. It has a distinct Middle Eastern style of music, and a Hindu reincarnation theme, and an opera-like chorus which features Prince's multi-tracked vocals. The lyrics have religious and apocalyptic themes. The song is ambiguous and can be interpreted in many ways, as the "7" mentioned in the chorus could be the song referring to the Seven Deadly Sins or the seven Archon of Gnosticism or the seven names of God in the Old Testament. The song received positive reviews and peaked within the top forty of many of its major markets.

Critical reception
Upon the release, Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "You can never be too sure of what this Paisley dude will serve up next. This time, he concocts a stew of old and new flavors: retro-funk shuffle beats are countered by hip-hop-style scratching and topped with flower-child strumming and sitars. The hook is rousing and immediate, and should find a welcome home at several levels lickety-split." Randy Clark from Cashbox stated, "This new single is an apocalyptic musical revelation done in the "Give Peace a Chance" mode, except the elaborate vocal arrangements have the well disciplined guidance of the funk-meister." In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton opined that, "with the Christmas competition this is unlilkely to become another massive hit for Prince." Iestyn George from NME viewed it as "lilting acoustic pop-funk with smart vocal harmonies and unforgivably crap lyrics." Richard Harrington from The Washington Post felt "the visionary "7", which has a genial psychedelic-folk-rockish '60s sound and spirit, could have fit comfortably on Around the World in a Day."

Retrospective response
In an 2017 retrospective review, Andy Healy from Albumism named the song a "standout" from the album, noting its "glorious, eastern inspired mystical magic" with "the multitude of layered vocals and hypnotic groove." He added, "Not to mention the cryptic lyrics—is he singing about the seven deadly sins, the seven seals of Revelations, the seven major religions or the seven major record labels." Alexis Petridis from The Guardian ranked "7" number 34 in his list of "Prince's 50 Greatest Singles – Ranked!" in 2019. He wrote, "If you want evidence of Prince's unique, almost mystical, abilities, "7" is an intriguing place to start." He added, "At heart, the song is a rousing acoustic campfire singalong with lyrics of a spiritual bent, albeit a fairly baffling one. Deeply unpromising on paper, he somehow makes it work to striking effect, spooning on the harmonies and vintage sitar effects." In 2020, Rolling Stone noted that the singer "expanded his sonic palette" on the song, "tapping into tablas and sitars, widescreen multi-tracked vocals and a sample of Lowell Fulson's "Tramp"." The magazine noted further, "Of course, given his out-there status at the time, Prince may have also been dabbling in numerology".

Slant Magazine ranked "7" number 66 on their list of "The 100 Best Singles of the 1990s" in 2011, writing, "A Bible verse as related by a New World prince, "7" is a lush allegory for the perils of romantic strife, set across deserts and streets of gold and featuring armies, plagues, and angels. Among the fiercest tracks from Prince and the New Power Generation’s Love Symbol Album, this rock soap opera is a predictable cock-storm of funk, the One and Only’s vulnerable, emotion-rich falsetto wielding the same blunt-force trauma as the swords and tambourines that are dropped into the production with the sort of timing that would be corny if it weren’t so swoony. Way before he takes it to church, Prince’s intellect and savoir-faire has saved the day."

Chart performance
In the United States, "7" was most successful on the Top 40 Pop/Mainstream chart, where it peaked at No. 3 and it was a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 where coincidentally it peaked at No. 7. It performed respectably on the Rhythmic charts (No. 19). However, it was less popular with R&B/Hip Hop radio, stalling at No. 61. On the Canadian RPM chart the song peaked at No. 12. The single reached No. 27 in the UK, falling short of the success of the previous two releases, "Sexy MF" and "My Name is Prince", which had become top 10 hits.

Music video
The accompanying music video for the song was shot on February 27, 1992. It is directed by Sotera Tschetter and begins with Mayte whispering "imagine" in Prince's ear, in the position they are in on the single cover. A scene from 3 Chains o' Gold is shown as well. It features Mayte belly-dancing. The video set is pictured on the Love Symbol album cover, along with a still shot from the video. In the video, Prince symbolically "kills" incarnations of himself who are trapped inside glass chambers. There are little girls wearing yellow belly-dancing outfits almost identical to Mayte's and little boys wearing black outfits and eyebands identical to Prince's.

The video is also notable for Mayte dancing with a sword on her head, which she would later do in live performances; the video featured her playing the role she played in 3 Chains o' Gold as an Egyptian princess who befriends Prince and enlists his help to find the men who assassinated her father. Mayte kisses and releases a Eurasian Collared Dove during her performance. The video was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best R&B Video, but lost to "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue.

Amp (TV series)

Amp is a music video program on MTV that aired from 1996 to 2001. It was aimed at the electronic music and rave crowd and was responsible for exposing many electronica acts to the mainstream. When co-creator Todd Mueller (who had worked on this with V. Owen Bush, Amy Finnerty and show co-creator, on air music video dj Burle Avant 1996-1997) left the show in 1998, it was redubbed Amp 2.0. The show aired some 46 episodes in total over its 6-year run. In its final two years, reruns were usually shown from earlier years. Amp ' s time slot was moved around quite a bit, but the show usually aired late at night or in the early morning hours on the weekend. Because of this late night time slot, the show developed a small but cult like following. A few online groups formed after the show's demise to ask MTV to bring the show back and air it during normal hours, but MTV never responded to the requests.

Format
The show was possibly inspired by the underground public access show "TV w/ Ray Cathode" (later named Dizzy TV) that started airing on Manhattan Neighborhood Network public access TV in 1993 and ran from 1993–1999. TV w/ Ray Cathode was an underground experimental television show created by Beau Tardy that aired abstract video imagery with electronic music soundtracks by FAX +49-69/450464, Thomas Fehlmann, Sun Electric, The Orb, Aphex Twin, Warp Records and many others. TV w/ Ray Cathode show producer Beau Tardy also worked at MTV and was a colleague of Todd Mueller but never contributed to Amp.

The format of the show strongly resembled the original MTV model of broadcasting primarily music videos, but without VJs to host. The show started with an intro and logo, some basic information about that week's show contents via onscreen text, then an hour of electronic music was played before the show's conclusion. Most of the video clips were created specifically for Amp. Nick Philip, a San-Francisco based multi-media artist created the first video for Amp, "Meccano" by Sun Electric. Occasionally, non-electronic but still classic music videos were aired for the sake of nostalgia within the electronic genre, such as Ofra Haza's music video for "Im Nin'Alu," which was sampled by several electronic artists in the early 1990s.

Compilations
The show was popular enough that MTV produced two compilations of songs by artists featured on Amp. MTV's Amp was released in 1997 and MTV's Amp 2 came out a year later in 1998. Both albums were released by Caroline Records.

Artists commonly featured on the show

 * 1.8.7
 * Aphex Twin
 * Astral Projection

Wolf River Conservancy

The Wolf River Conservancy (WRC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose stated purpose is "conserving and enhancing the Wolf River and its environs as a natural resource for public education and low-impact recreational activities." Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. It has approximately 1,500 members from throughout West Tennessee, led by an active Board of Directors and staff and advised by the Wolf River Conservancy Trustees. It is a fully accredited member of The Land Trust Alliance.

Mission
The Wolf River Conservancy is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the Wolf River and its watershed as a sustainable natural resource.

WRC history
The WRC was formed in 1985 by a small group of people concerned about a new dredging and infill project on the Wolf River in Memphis. They had witnessed the effects of similar development-related degradation along nearby Nonconnah Creek. That small group has grown to include more than members from every community along the river. For ten years the group's emphasis was in advocacy and education—commenting on wetland destruction or encouraging activities on the river during Wolf River Days. Only later did the group become a land trust organization by holding land or conservation easements in its own name.

Ghost River campaign
The change occurred when WRC, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and local conservationists W.S. "Babe" Howard and Lucius Burch merged their collective resources to satisfy the public's outcry for the protection of the Ghost River section of the Wolf near LaGrange, Tennessee. During 1995, 4,500 acres (18 km²) -- including the Ghost River—were saved from a land and timber company auction. This area was ultimately brought into public ownership as the Wolf River Wildlife Management Area and the Ghost River State Natural Area.

Present day
With a dramatic increase in concern for the Wolf River by an increasingly more environmentally sensitive public, the Wolf River Conservancy continues to advance in new arenas, like the City of Memphis' Wolf River Greenway Master Plan, the Army Corps of Engineers/Shelby County Wolf River Restoration project in Collierville, recreational facilities at the river's source in the Holly Springs National Forest, as well as continued efforts to conserve and enhance the river's bottomland forests in Fayette and Benton counties.

Wolf River Greenway
The Wolf River Greenway will be a 26-mile multi-use path following the Wolf River through Memphis from Mud Island to Germantown. It connects to Greenbelt Park, Germantown Greenway, Shelby Farms, and the Shelby Farms Greenline. It is planned to connect to the future Heights Line and Chelsea Greenline.

As of early 2023, the completed sections are:
 * Mud Island (Mud Island to Second St): The Mud Island Section of the Wolf River Greenway opened to the public in October 2017. This scenic portion of the Greenway features a 1.2 mile loop along the old Wolf River Levee built to divert the flow of the Wolf River in 1960.
 * North McLean Cycle Track (McLean: Chelsea to Nedra and McLean: Nedra to Rodney Baber Park): Built atop a levee, the Hollywood section and McLean Cycle track compose 3.3 miles of the Wolf River Greenway trail through the Hyde Park neighborhood of Memphis, TN.
 * Hyde Park (McLean to Hollywood): The Hollywood section features a trailhead parking area along N Hollywood Street and connects to the McLean Cycle Track to the west.
 * N Highland to Epping Way
 * Epping Way: The Epping Way section of the Wolf River Greenway Trail system can be found on 138 acres of scenic riverfront property, owned by the Wolf River Conservancy. This section of the Greenway features a 20 acre lake, 1.2 miles of pedestrian trails with two picturesque bridges.
 * Kennedy Park: The Kennedy Park section of the Wolf River Greenway opened in 2018 and  features 1.5 miles of scenic recreational trails running through a mature forest, bounding along the rolling hills and banks of the Wolf River.
 * East Section (Walnut Grove to Shady Grove, to City of Germantown): The East Section of the Wolf River Greenway consists of 3.6 miles of paved trail that is currently open to the public. This section offers an intimate natural experience winding near the flowing Wolf River
 * Wolf Crossing: The Wolf Crossing section, located at mile 14, opened in 2021 connecting Shelby Farms Greenline and the Wolf River Greenway Trail further. This section boasts a 270-foot cable stayed suspension bridge over the Wolf River, and a raised concrete boardwalk through the scenic Lucius Burch State Natural Area.

History of the Wolf River itself

 * 10,000 BCE Wolf River formed by runoff from melting glacier shelf.
 * 800-1500 CE Mississippian culture rises and declines in this area, evidenced by mound sites and accounts by Hernando de Soto.
 * 1300-1700 CE Chickasaw nation settles northern Mississippi, western Tennessee, and eastern Arkansas.
 * 1682 French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle claims the region near the mouth of the Wolf River. The French alternately called the river Riviere de Mayot (or Margot), Blackbird River, and Riviere de Loup.
 * The original Loup was rumored to be a Delaware Indian guide who disappeared along the river while guiding the French. The Delawares were also known as Les Loups or "The Wolves". According to one account, both the English and Chickasaw afterwards called the river "Loup" in their respective languages: "Wolf" and "Nashoba".

 * 1740 Non-local Native American scouts working for the French at Fort Assumption (Memphis) survey the Wolf as a possible military supply route from which to destroy Ackia, a Chickasaw stronghold near Tupelo that weathered an attack four years earlier. The group turned back near present-day Germantown, Tennessee, a town that briefly adopted the name "Neshoba" out of anti-German sentiment during the United States' involvement in World War I.
 * Early 19th century The Wolf River is declared navigable, from Memphis to LaGrange, by the Tennessee General Assembly, which appropriated funds to remove obstructions for keel boat travel.
 * 1825 British-born Frances Wright establishes the Nashoba Commune on the Wolf River at the present-day site of Germantown, Tennessee. The commune's purpose was to educate and emancipate slaves using proceeds from the sale of crops grown there.
 * 1888 Memphis stops using Wolf River as its principal source of drinking water, switching to artesian wells, which are still used and which are recharged by the Wolf's watershed.
 * 1960 Because of its foul odor the Wolf is dammed near its mouth and diverted into the Mississippi north of Mud Island. The section of the Wolf downstream of this channel diversion became a slackwater harbor of the Mississippi known today as Wolf River Harbor, which separates Mud Island from the Memphis "mainland".
 * Mid-1960s Completion of channelization of the Wolf from the Mississippi upstream to Gray's Creek, east of Germantown, Tennessee, resulting in a lowered riverbed and diminished wetland habitat.
 * 1970 Surface drainage, sewage, and industrial pollution caused a group of scientists and environmentalists to pronounce the river "dead" around Memphis.[[Image:BroutinMargotCloseup.jpeg|thumb|300px|The Wolf River's watershed (everything above the red dotted line), as surveyed in 1740 by [[Ignace Francois Broutin]], chief engineer of French Louisiana. The French had named the Wolf "Riviere a Margot"]]
 * 1977 Mary Winslow Chapman publishes I Remember Raleigh, which including vivid descriptions of a pre-channelized Wolf River (early-to-middle 20th century).
 * 1985 Wolf River Conservancy founded by an alliance of conservation-minded real estate executives and local environmental advocates.
 * 1995 "Ghost River" section of the Wolf saved from timber auction by a coordinated effort of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, local conservation activists Lucius Burch and W.S. "Babe" Howard, and the WRC.
 * 1997 American Singer-Songwriter Jeff Buckley drowns during an evening swim in Wolf River Harbor.
 * 1998 First recorded full descent of the Wolf River completed by members of the Wolf River Conservancy.
 * 2004 City of Memphis' Wolf River Greenway, 22 mile (35 km) trail, master plan completed and then shelved (pending approval)
 * 2005 Commencement of the Wolf River Restoration Project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Memphis Office to stop rapid erosion known as "headcutting" at Collierville, Tennessee.
 * 2006 Loop trail completed by the U.S. Forest Service in the Holly Springs National Forest (Mississippi) near Baker's Pond, the source of the Wolf River.
 * 2007 "Middle Wolf" Campaign – attempted sprawl-proofing of the western Fayette County section.
 * 2007–2012 Completion of the Collierville-Arlington Parkway segment of Tenn-385 and I-269 outer loop expressway, including two (and potentially five) interchanges poised to become major drivers of suburban growth into forested sections of the Wolf River's floodplain and the surface-exposed sections of the Memphis Sands aquifer.

Stadium District, Tacoma, Washington

The Stadium District is a neighborhood of the north end of Tacoma, Washington, USA. It is named after Stadium High School, a historic landmark.

The district is located between the North Slope residential neighborhood and the Stadium Business District and the Hilltop neighborhood further to the south. The area shares more in common with Tacoma's downtown owing to its urban nature and large population of apartment-dwelling working class residents. The area consists primarily of single family homes, apartment & condominium buildings, some with views of Commencement Bay.

Old Woman's Gulch
Old Woman's Gulch is a ravine, or system of ravines, located in the north end of Tacoma, Washington.

Originally named after the old longshoremen's widows who were displaced during the construction of the sports field that gave Stadium High School its namesake, the original Old Woman's Gulch is located in the Stadium District. At a later date, the name "Old Woman's Gulch" was also used to describe the gulch system that runs through the entirety of the north end, including the more residential areas to the west of the Stadium District, near the Proctor District. Today, few people are aware that the ravine is known as the Old Woman's Gulch, instead referring to it simply as "the gulch" or "the ravine."

Hera (rocket)

Hera is a target missile for development testing of missile defense systems such as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense and Patriot PAC-3.

History
In 1992, the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command awarded the Theater Missile Defense (TMD) Targets contract to Coleman Aerospace with Space Vector and Aerotherm as sub-contractors. Coleman developed Hera using the second and third stages of the Minuteman II ("MMII") and the guidance section of the Pershing II. The Rocket Systems Launch Program at Detachment 12, USAF Space and Missile Systems Center, provided technical program management services involved with removing the liquid injection thrust vector control system from the retired MMII second stages in favor of a flex-seal system enabling robust flight control from launch to burn out. First launch was on April 24, 1995, at White Sands Missile Range.

Because of its range, Russia claims Hera qualifies as an IRBM and hence violates Item 1, Article 6 of the INF Treaty.

Hera is also used in the USAF Sounding Rocket Program.

There were twelve tests using the Hera missile system launched from Fort Wingate over the Datil Mountains to White Sands Missile Range between 1997 and 2004. In March 2009, the tests were resumed with a thirteenth flight over the Datil Mountains. Other tests using the HERA were conducted entirely within the missile range, such as the aborted 13 September 2006 test of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system.

During THAAD flight test FTT-11 on December 11, 2009, the Hera target missile failed to ignite following its airborne deployment, subsequently crashing into the ocean. In the wake of this incident, Missile Defense Agency Director LTG Patrick O'Reilly sharply criticized L-3 Coleman Aerospace quality control practices, and in March 2010 suspended further Hera purchases. The suspension was lifted on May 9, 2011 when the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center and the Missile Defense Agency were satisfied that Coleman had completed the necessary corrective actions.

On October 30, 2013, the Pentagon announced that L3-Coleman had won a $74 million contract to continue to develop and supply medium-range ballistic missile targets to the Missile Defense Agency, beating out three competing bidders including Orbital Sciences Corporation and Lockheed Martin Space Systems.

Image Tagging Image:KeiraPromo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:KeiraPromo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:AngelinaVogue.jpg)
'''This item can be deleted as it is no longer used, thank you for letting me know? lol you can delete the image yourself if it is no longer used on the page'''

Thanks for uploading Image:AngelinaVogue.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Replaceable fair use Image:GaineyRanchGolf.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:GaineyRanchGolf.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Proterospongia

Proterospongia is a genus of single-celled aquatic organisms which form colonies. It belongs to the choanoflagellate class. As a colony-forming choanoflagellate, Proterospongia is of interest to scientists studying the mechanisms of intercellular signaling and adhesion present before animals appeared.

Physical characteristics
Members of Proterospongia have the typical choanoflagellate cell structure characterized by a cell body 5-10μm in diameter with a 20-30μm apical flagellum surrounded by a collar of 15-25 actin-filled microvilli. The flagellum propels swimming cells through the water column and creates water currents through the microvilli, which trap foodstuff such as bacteria and detritus. The arrangement of organelles in Proterospongia appears consistent with other choanoflagellates and is characterized by an anterior dictyosome under the flagellar base, a central nucleus, peripheral mitochondria and a posterior food vacuole.

As a member of the Codonosigidae family, Proterospongia have only a fine investment that is indistinct by light microscopy or completely lack an outer-covering. Proterospongia species are distinguished by colony morphology, which vary from simple chains of cells to striking astral assemblages. Colonies having extracellular jelly or mucilage have been described by Kent, Lackey, and Leadbeater; however the composition of this substance is unknown. Kent also described a Proterospongia species containing two types of cells embedded in mucilage; however, this is the only account of such a species and it has been suggested that the observed amoeboid cells were actually posterior tentacles that are present on some choanoflagellates.

Life history
Although several Proterospongia species have been described, only P. choanojuncta has a described life history. Based on this description, Proterospongia alternates between colonial and swimming and adherent solitary states. Leadbeater’s 1983 description resulted in the consolidation of Choanocea perplexea and Proterospongia choanojuncta species into Proterospongia choanojuncta. Additional studies of solitary and colonial species may result in further species consolidation.

Classification
Proterospongia is a taxonomic classification of colonial Codonosigidae choanoflagellates based on the physical appearance of individual cells and the morphology of the colony. First described by Kent in Manual of the Infusoria (1880-1882), there are six described species of Proterospongia and the colony structure varies between species. The members of Proterospongia genus remain to be classified in a phylogenetic framework.

John M. Read

John Meredith Read Sr. (July 21, 1797 – November 29, 1874) was an American lawyer, jurist, and politician from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was one of the founders of the Republican Party and chief justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Early life
Read John was born on Chestnut Street across the street from Independence Hall, the eldest son of lawyer John Read and Martha Meredith Read. Both of his grandfathers (George Read and Samuel Meredith) had served in the Continental Congress. After an education at home, Read graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, then read law, and was admitted to the bar in 1818. He started a law practice in Philadelphia.

Political career
Read began his political career when he was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1822. He served until 1824 while remaining in the private practice of law. After this he served on the Philadelphia City Council, and for several years was the city's solicitor. Although his family had been Federalists, he became an ardent supporter of the Free Soil wing of the Democratic Party.

From 1837 to 1841, Read was the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In 1845, President John Tyler nominated him to the Supreme Court of the United States; but, his earlier stance against the expansion of slavery into the territories caused the southern Democratic Senators to oppose his nomination and it was withdrawn. From June until December 1845 he served as the Attorney General of Pennsylvania.

In 1863, he was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society.

Read became an early supporter and organizer for the Republican Party. When they won in their first statewide races in 1858, Read was elected to the state supreme court. He then served until December 2, 1872, the last year as chief justice. When the Republicans held their first national convention at Philadelphia in 1856, Read was a convention organizer and delivered the convention keynote address. At the 1860 Republican Convention in Chicago, he received one vote on the first ballot for presidential nominee; still, he supported Lincoln as the nominee.

Family
Read was married twice, first to Priscilla Marshall in 1828. They had five children. After Priscilla's death, Read married Amelia Thompson in 1855. Read died at home in Philadelphia in 1874. His son, J. Meredith Read, was a noted American diplomat.

Benjamin McConnell

Benjamin James McConnell (September 28, 1861 —February 15, 1923 ) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1907 to 1914, as a member of the Liberal Party.

McConnell was born in Point Alexander, north Renfrew County, Canada West (now Ontario), the son of Benjamin McConnell and Catherine Melville. He was educated at Pembroke, and studied medicine at Queen's University in Kingston. He moved to Manitoba in 1881 to practice medicine, first settling in Nelson, and then moving to Morden in 1885. McConnell married Catherine Pollock Fraser in 1884. He served as provincial coroner for ten years and was president of the Manitoba College of Physicians and Surgeons and of the Southern Manitoba Medical Association. McConnell retired from the practice of medicine in 1902. He also owned the Morden Woollen Mill and a large farm.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1907 provincial election, defeating Conservative incumbent George Ashdown by 90 votes in the Morden constituency. He was re-elected in the 1910 election. Both elections were won by the Conservatives, and McConnell served as an opposition member for his entire tenure in the legislature. He did not seek re-election in 1914.

McConnell died at home in Winnipeg, aged 61.

His former residence in Morden was designated a municipal heritage building.

Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 insure 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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

5 seasons or 9?
The Crunchyroll and Netflix page says the series has 9 seasons. But here in Wikipedia it says that it has 5 seasons. —  Bradford  💬 17:06, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Since the Japanese release came we organized the seasons like that just like Shippuden's seasons. Whether or not it should be reorganized might require a discussion. Then again, we ended up dividing other series like D.Gray-man for English release rather than Japanese.Tintor2 (talk) 20:55, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * But then, everything should be divided into nine seasons. Because it is very confusing. In fact, this page does not say that the series is divided by seasons. —  Bradford  💬 21:27, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

 * It was due to the DVD visions if I remember well. Shippuden also divided seasons per DVDs giving each a title but for some reason Boruto doesn't.Tintor2 (talk) 22:30, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be better to divide everything by arcs? For example: It would be better, because this is very confusing. Crunchyroll says the series has 9 seasons, Netflix too. His DVD releases by VizMedia says they are 4 seasons.--Elefv (talk) 12:25, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

The current map is quite completley wrong. It should be modified, or deleted. Reasons: 1)None of the private-built main lines (BJ/GDG, SWB, TGOJ, West Coast main line or HNJ) are inserted. 2) The map is showing a) the Inland Railway line, which never was very important outside politics and rhetorics of politicians, and b) the two original SJ-lines in the south (finished 1862...) and the Northen main line (finished 1894(?))

Shouldn't the 221 km of narrow gauge be included in the total 12,821 km? Or should 221 km be subtracted from the 12,821 km of standard gauge? 85.231.217.245 18:21, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I would like to suggest a new section about the collapse/chaos of the railway that has been in effect the past couple of days as a result of a very intense snowstorm.

The Railway traffic in the southern half of the country came to a total stop because of malfunctioning levers, malfunctioning trains, oversnowed rails and etc.

So how do we put this into the article in a good way? What/how many sources to use? What is the best word/headline to describe it?

Reindeer problem
Reindeer need some iron in their diet, and what better place to find it are rail tracks which general fine flakes as the wheels of the train wear on the steel rails. Brake blocks can also generate fine iron powder. Since reindeer on tracks can cause accidents, some method of decoy iron is needed to keep the animals away from the rail lines.

Adolf Hansen
Sounds like a cute band, but it's still not notable. (See WP:MUSIC.) Google search barely returns anything. Acutally, a Dr. Adolf Hansen looks more popular than this band. Yay for random band vanity pages. Syrae Faileas - « Talk » 21:15, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * delete bandity. Actually, there is some turn-of-the-century composer named Adolf Hansen, according to AMG |HANSEN~C, but I doubt he is notable enough for an article. Brighterorange 21:47, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment. I almost wish we had a speedy delete for the really obvious band vanity pages...  *shrugs*  Oh well.  It's not like it's really slow or inconveniencing (I think I made up a new spelling) this way.  Syrae Faileas - « Talk » 22:45, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn band vanity. We don't have a speedy delete for this but we need one. Dottore So 23:40, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as not meeting WP:Music. Actually, there is a composer of German band music and a university Administrator with a Who's Who article so it could be a disambiguation. Capitalistroadster 00:48, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
