Recoil (band)

Recoil is a musical project created by English musician and former Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder. Essentially a solo venture, Recoil began whilst Wilder was still in Depeche Mode as an outlet for his experimental, less pop-oriented compositions. Once he announced his departure from the group in 1995, Recoil became Wilder's primary musical enterprise.

1980s and 1990s
Recoil began in 1986, when Daniel Miller (record producer and founder of Mute Records) heard some of Alan Wilder's demo recordings, which he had made on a 4-track cassette machine. These recordings were substantially different from anything Depeche Mode had released—whilst they were still created using synthesizers and sampling, they featured little of Depeche Mode's catchy pop songwriting, instead opting for an experimental, John Cage-esque style. Due to the primitive and decidedly uncommercial nature of these pieces, Wilder and the record label decided to release the album inconspicuously, naming it 1 + 2. It eventually came out in mid-1986, not long after the release of Depeche Mode's well-received Black Celebration.

In January 1988, during the middle of Depeche Mode's hugely successful Music for the Masses tour, Mute released the second Recoil album, Hydrology. This followed in a similar vein to the previous Recoil record, consisting of entirely instrumental, synthesized landscapes. Unfortunately, due to Wilder's busy touring schedule, he was unable to effectively promote the record.

Recoil's first single was from its third album Bloodline, a cover of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band's "Faith Healer", with Douglas McCarthy from Nitzer Ebb on vocals. McCarthy would later reappear for two songs on the next album, Unsound Methods, including the single "Stalker". 1997's Unsound Methods was the first release after Wilder's decision to leave Depeche Mode. The fifth album, Liquid, was released in 2000.

Continuing artwork
The cover of 1 + 2 features "1+2" in transparent varnish, covering the front and back of the LP sleeve. Similarly, the cover of the Hydrology LP features a large "3" and "4" in transparent varnish. The back cover of Bloodline features "5 + 6" in pink and grey type.

2007–2008: subHuman
Although there had been no releases for some time, in 2005 Wilder confirmed that he would start work on a new album. On 20 October 2006, Wilder appeared on a web greeting confirming a Summer 2007 target date for the next Recoil album. On 22 April 2007, Wilder released a statement on his Myspace page that the new album would be entitled subHuman and had been provisionally set for release on 9 July 2007. Included as guest vocalists this time were Carla Trevaskis and Joe Richardson. The latter also delivered the vocals for a track titled "Prey" which was the only single taken from subHuman. A sample from the song was also put on Recoil's MySpace page. "Prey" was released on 27 June 2009 via iTunes and related download portals.

In addition, 2007 saw the re-release of Bloodline (originally released in 1992) and Hydrology plus 1 + 2 (originally released in 1988). iTunes also prepared a special Recoil pack (similar to the Complete Depeche Mode iTunes pack) holding all Recoil releases. It was the first time that all Recoil material was available via iTunes. The packet didn't hold exclusives but did come in a DRM free high quality download version.

A special download-only remix of subHuman track "Killing Ground" by the Slips was released on 1 October 2007 on the Slips' Myspace page. Rumours surfaced that Wilder was to start work on a new album pretty soon. Late 2007, IGN, a unit of Fox Interactive Media, Inc., selected Recoil's subHuman album as "Best Electronic Album" for the year 2007.

In February 2008, Wilder announced, due to popular demand, a limited edition CD release of the double sided Recoil single "Prey"/"Allelujah" out on 25 February 2008. The CD was issued, with the support of Mute, through the Russian label Gala Records in conjunction with depeche-mode.ru and was exclusively available online via their website.

Also in February, the ex-Depeche Mode member released an open letter on the Side-Line magazine website, titled "Music for the Masses – I think not". In the article Wilder handles his vision on today's shifting music market and the position of the artist in this. In the small essay Wilder touches the volume war, the effect of excessive compression, the download spiral, alternative ways to release music, the birth of the fan-powered release of the limited enhanced single "Prey"/"Allelujah" in Russia, Mute Records, Depeche Mode and much more.

December saw a brand new free bonus mix of "Prey" (taken from the subHuman album) released as a Christmas download on 8 December. The mix was approved by Wilder and remixed by David Husser.

2010–2012: Selected
In January 2010, Wilder announced a new compilation (Selected) and tour ("Selected Events 2010") on his official Recoil website. With tracks selected by Wilder himself, Selected is a collection of Recoil tracks culled from prior albums. A special bonus disc includes exclusive remixes and alternative versions.

"Selected Events" took Wilder through Europe and North America, spanning from March through May 2010. These shows represented the first live performances ever undertaken by Wilder with the Recoil project. The next part of the tour kicked off with dates across North America, South America and ended in Europe between October & December 2010.

On 17 February 2010, Wilder reunited briefly with former band Depeche Mode live on-stage at the Royal Albert Hall for one song, accompanying Martin Gore for a rendition of the Depeche Mode standard, "Somebody". This was the first time in nearly 16 years that Wilder performed with Depeche Mode, and roughly 15 years since he left the band. The band was playing a charity show, benefiting the Teenage Cancer Trust. According to Wilder, "Dave [Gahan] contacted me a few weeks back and asked if I'd be willing to join them on-stage. He assured me that everyone in the band was into the idea. I was very happy to accept, especially as it was all in a good cause and we were long overdue some kind of reunion of this sort. It was great to see everyone again and catch up a bit, and it was also the first time I have actually 'seen' Depeche Mode perform!"

"Selected Events" continued in 2011, featuring shows in three Baltic countries and appearances at festivals until the end of October.

Also in 2011, Wilder organised with Omega an auction selling a lot of Depeche Mode collectable items on 3 September in Manchester. A DVD called Collected+ was released as promotion for this event.

The Blu-ray only live disc A Strange Hour in Budapest was released in 2012, from the Selected Events from Recoil's tour.

Please keep an eye on Monty Hall problem and talk page for a while?
has been warned about the 3RR, but he's also been vandalizing Talk:Monty Hall problem so I think we have a real rogue on the loose. Can you keep an eye on things for a while? -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:15, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * For the next couple of days sure. Tailpig 18:21, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

This guy Feldspar is a troll. Did you actually bother to read the description before reverting it on behalf of him? The solution he keeps reverting to (I can only guess that he wrote it and is plugging for shameless self promotion) is a terrible explanation of the problem (the entire actuarial discussion forum at D.W.Simpson has demonstrated this) and in many was just wrong. The methods used in the old explanation are vastly inferior and only arrive at the right answer by a myriad of coincidental factors. A solution to any problem is supposed to work in any case not by coincidence, and if for whatever reason you do have a specific case approach to a problem you are supposed to site why it works. I have explained to this clown several times why his personal intuition that its ok to ignore the fact that the goats are seperate entities is not Universal and many people have found the wiki explanation he keeps reverting to to be utterly useless. He has resorted to tactics such as editing my writing both to make it appear that I said something I didn't say and to trick me into defending arguments that weren't mine to begin with.
 * Here is clear evidence of such editing but done by you. Please refrain from editing others' writings. Tailpig 15:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Doing things on behalf of someone else without considering the situation defeats the whole purpose of wikipedia. It's not supposed to be a place where some self righteous little snot such as feldspar can dictate what information is given here. Its a place where the person who is right is supposed to win because he has more motivation to continue arguing, convincing others etc while the person who is wrong cannot continue arguing much longer after realizing he is wrong.

By allowing yourself to be manipulated by this fool, you are destroying what Wiki is all about. The belief that he can manipulate the system and gain power over others regardless of whether or not he is correct in his beliefs gives him motivation to continue arguing despite having realized he was wrong about something. Please look at arguments and decide for yourself what is correct rather than just reverting something to serve someone else's ego.

Wikipedia a democracy?
Actually fortunately it isn't. See WP:NOT. It's a good thing too, because we can remove links that aren't from peer-reviewed journals no matter who shows up to "vote". -- SCZenz 23:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! So it seems. Tailpig 23:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Incompleteness versus POV
You wrote: ''Harald88, don't confuse NPOV with incompleteness. If you're an expert on the subject, please make the appropriate changes here. The talks page is useless and populated by trolls'' (Twin paradox).

Tailpig, you are of course right that incompleteness isn't necessarily due to a POV conflict. In this case, the article was already incomplete before the debate started; I had failed to find articles that clearly describe and defend the mainstream opinion about the deeper issue, which hindered completing the article in view of WP:NOR, and so I did not expand on minority POV's and we had also asked for contributions by others - as you indicated already, the Wikipedia way is to add to such incompleteness.

The objection to the current version is, that the explanations of the cited articles had been briefly mentioned, since they are essential for a good understanding of the cause of the paradox while the different views of cited articles should be fairly mentioned according to WP:NPOV; but the views were deleted, even of the articles that are still being cited. As green put it, they were wiped under the carpet (compare ).

Some editors demand a return to the old version, but that version was work-in-progress and I prefer the current version but with a proper mention of the differing views.

By now I have found more peer reviewed articles that describe the different POV's including the mainstream one (curiously enough that was the hardest to find in this context!), so that it will be possible to complete it with all notable POV's mentioned in a satisfying way without any Original Research issues.

Messerschmitt KR175

The Messerschmitt KR175 microcar (1953–1955) was the first vehicle built by Messerschmitt under its 1952 agreement with Fritz Fend. In concept, although not in actual design, it was, in principle, a development of the Fend Flitzer invalid carriage. Approximately 15,000 were built before it was replaced by the Messerschmitt KR200 in 1955.

History
Messerschmitt, temporarily not allowed to manufacture aircraft, had turned its resources to producing other products. In 1952, Fend approached Messerschmitt with the idea of manufacturing small motor vehicles. These were based on his Fend Flitzer invalid carriage.

The first of Fend's vehicles to enter production at Messerschmitt's Regensburg factory was the KR175 (prototypes had been designated FK150 - Fend Kabinenroller 150 - with a 150cc F&S engine). The title Kabinenroller means "scooter with cabin". While the Messerschmitt name and insignia were used on the car, a separate company, incorporated as Regensburger Stahl- und Metallbau GmbH (RSM), was created to manufacture and market the vehicle.

There were several problems with the first KR175s to be built, resulting in 70 design modifications between the beginning of production in February and June 1953. The KR200, although superficially very similar was developed from the KR175 but with many fundamental changes, replaced it in 1955.

Features
Being based on the Kabinenroller platform, the KR175 had tandem seating accessed by a hatch that opened upward and to the right. The standard version of the KR175's hatch had a canopy made from a large Plexiglas dome with a cutout at the front for a small, flat glass windshield and a cutout on either side for the frames for the sliding windows. A "sportster" model was available without the dome or the windows, with only the windshield attached. On early models, the windshield wiper was manually operated.

The front fenders did not have wheel cutouts.

Engine and transmission
The KR175 ran on a 173 cc Fichtel & Sachs air-cooled single cylinder two-stroke engine centrally positioned in front of the rear wheel, just behind the passenger's seat. The engine was started with a pull rope as standard, but there was an option of an electric starter. The electric starter became standard in 1954. The transmission was a sequential, positive-stop type with four speeds and no synchronization nor reverse gear.

Controls
The KR175 used the standard Kabinenroller steering system, with a steering bar connected directly to the track rods of the front wheels, providing an extremely direct response best suited to small, measured inputs. The KR175's steering bar was made from tubular steel. The gearshift lever, on the right side of the cockpit, had a secondary lever on it which operated the clutch. The throttle was operated by a twist-grip on the left handlebar. The foot brake pedal, which was the only pedal in the car, operated brakes on all three wheels mechanically, using cables. The handbrake lever operated similarly.

In 1954, the clutch lever was replaced by a pedal.

MI-VAL Mivalino

Italian motorcycle manufacturer Metalmeccanica Italiana Valtrompia s.p.a., makers of the brand, assembled KR175s in Brescia, Italy, using components imported from Messerschmitt but with their own 172 cc two-stroke engine installed. These cars were sold as the MI-VAL Mivalino.

Coragus

Coragus (Κόραγος) of the Macedonian army was a celebrated warrior and companion of Alexander the Great. He is best known for his defeat at the hands of the Athenian Dioxippus, practitioner of pankration.

During a banquet thrown by the Macedonian emperor, Coragus challenged Dioxippus to single combat, which he accepted. Coragus attended the duel in full body armor and weaponry, including javelins, a spear, and a sword, while Dioxippus appeared with a simple club. After having his javelin dodged and his spear shattered by Dioxippus, Coragus approached the warrior to engage him with his sword, but before he could draw his blade Dioxippus utilized his pankration techniques to topple the Macedonian warrior. With Dioxippus' foot on his neck, Coragus was spared and released, and Dioxippus was declared the winner of the duel, much to the chagrin of the Macedonians (and the joy of the Athenians in attendance.)

Whether Coragus was involved in the later conspiracy that led to Dioxippus' suicide is unknown.

Munki

Munki is the sixth studio album released by Scottish rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain. After leaving Blanco y Negro, the Reid brothers signed to Sub Pop in the U.S. and Creation, who had released their debut single "Upside Down" in 1984, in the UK. Munki peaked at No. 47 in the UK album charts, the band's first studio album not to make the Top 40. It would also be the band's last album for 19 years, as they would release their next studio album Damage and Joy in 2017.

The album features an appearance from Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star, who had previously duetted with the band on the single "Sometimes Always", and includes the singles "I Hate Rock 'n' Roll" (released in 1995), "Cracking Up" and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll".

Background
The origin of the album title, according to Ben Lurie in an interview with Spin magazine, was that they "wanted an un-Mary Chain-like title...It doesn't mean anything. It's just a word. Misspelled on purpose." In an interview with The Herald, Jim said that their sister Linda suggested it. This was the band's final studio album before their 8-year breakup from October 1999 to June 2007.

The band returned to their original record company, Creation, due to parting with Warner Records, however the band were surprised to see how much their label had changed since they had left the label, Jim Reid said. "The first time we were on Creation we spent days folding the paper covers inside plastic sleeves for 'Upside Down' in Alan McGee's back bedroom in Tottenham. Alan still held down a day job back then, so to go back 15 years later to do Munki it was like they'd become a proper record company!"

The album is often thought of as sounding "divided" due to the Reids' crumbling relationship, as Jim Reid recalled: "Me and William weren't really getting along at all. That last year we barely even spoke. Munki is one of my favorite albums, but it was really divided. William would go into the studio with the rest of the band and record while I wasn't there, and then I'd go in with them when William wasn't there."

According to an interview in Alternative Press magazine, Jim said that "I Hate Rock 'n' Roll" was written by his brother "out of sheer frustration with the kind of crap we have to deal with in the music business." To counterbalance these sentiments, Jim wrote "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" because "I thought it left [Munki] kind of negative - I felt it was only half the story." In the same issue of Alt Press, Munki was rated a perfect 5 out 5.

Reception
Most other reviews, like those from AllMusic and Rolling Stone, were less enthusiastic.

Jason Ankeny of Allmusic gave the album a three star review, saying "Munki, is schizophrenic and impassioned, a record that both summarizes the band's career to date and cleans the slate for their future. Virtually each of the 17 tracks here echoes a prior moment in the Chain's existence, moving at breakneck pace from the volcanic noise of their earliest material to the bleak grace of Darklands, through to the sleek, supercharged pop of Automatic -- even Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval makes a cameo, as she did on Stoned & Dethroned. In a sense, it's an ideal primer to the Reid brothers' mercurial world, flirting with both brilliance and mediocrity; even after well over a decade, the Jesus and Mary Chain continue to thrill, irritate, and confound -- they're a true love/hate obsession."

of Drowned in Sound praised the album saying retrospectively, "Looking back at Munki now, it's one of those records that in hindsight serves as a document of a band that's falling apart. The likes of 'Commercial' and 'Never Understood' have a tragicomic edge to them not previously displayed by the Mary Chain." and noted "It's also worth remembering that Munki initially came out amidst a sea of all things Britpop yet still managed to achieve a longevity and relevance many other records released that year (1998) haven't succeeded in doing so."

Entertainment Weekly praised the album, giving it a B+ "After a four-year exile, Jim and William Reid still have the gall to pen ”school-fool-cool” rhymes, filch classic melodies (Buddy Holly’s ”It’s So Easy”), wallow in guitar noise, and fret over their ”darkened souls.” Thank God. They almost discover trip-hop on ”Perfume,” a keyboard-spiked seance with Hope Sandoval. Otherwise it’s rock minimalism as usual — less glacial, maybe, but still able to sink ships."

Nathaniel Shaler

Nathaniel Southgate Shaler (February 20, 1841 – April 10, 1906) was an American paleontologist and geologist who wrote extensively on the theological and scientific implications of the theory of evolution, whose work is now considered scientific racism.

Biography
Born to a slave-holding family in Kentucky in 1841, Shaler studied at Harvard College's Lawrence Scientific School under Louis Agassiz. After graduating in 1862, Shaler went on to become a Harvard fixture in his own right, as lecturer (1868), professor of paleontology for two decades (1869–1888) and as professor of geology for nearly two more (1888–1906). Beginning in 1891, he was dean of the Lawrence School. Shaler was appointed director of the Kentucky Geological Survey in 1873, and devoted a part of each year until 1880 to that work. In 1884, he was appointed geologist to the U.S. Geological Survey in charge of the Atlantic division. He was commissioner of agriculture for Massachusetts at different times, and was president of the Geological Society of America in 1895. He also served two years as a Union officer in the American Civil War.

Research: ecology, geology, and scientific racism
Early in his professional career, Shaler was broadly a creationist and anti-Darwinist. This was largely out of deference to the brilliant but old-fashioned Agassiz, whose patronage served Shaler well in ascending the Harvard ladder. When his own position at Harvard was secure, Shaler gradually accepted Darwinism in principle but viewed it through a neo-Lamarckian lens. Shaler extended Charles Darwin's work on the importance of earthworm soil bioturbation to soil formation to other animals, such as ants. Like many other evolutionists of the time, Shaler incorporated basic tenets of natural selection—chance, contingency, opportunism—into a picture of order, purpose and progress in which characteristics were inherited through the efforts of individual organisms.

Shaler was an apologist for slavery and an outspoken believer in the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race. In his later career, Shaler continued to support Agassiz's polygenism, a theory of human origins that was often used to support racial discrimination, falling under the category of Scientific racism. In his 1884 article, "The Negro Problem", published in the Atlantic Monthly, Shaler claimed that black people freed from slavery were "like children lost in the wood, needing the old protection of the strong mastering hand," that they became increasingly dominated by their "animal nature" as they grew from children into adults, and American slavery had been "infinitely the mildest and most decent system of slavery that ever existed."

Shaler published work describing the physical geography of different continents and linking these geologic settings to the intelligence and strength of human races that inhabited these spaces. In Nature and Man in America, Shaler justifies the superiority of the Aryan race based on their development within European topography, "marvelously suited to be the cradles of people", erroneously attributing their origin to the Scandinavian provinces, "a field which seems to have been the seat of the strongest men in the world for thousands of years." Expanding upon this logic, Shaler explains that a Scandinavian origin is most fitting because it would seem strange that the "most vigorous and at the same time the most plastic of the world-peoples should have developed among the limited opportunities afforded by high Asia." Similarly, Shaler disparages the topography of the Americas, Africa, and Australia, claiming that these continents "have shown by their human products that they are unfitted to be the cradle places of great peoples." Nevertheless, Shaler is particularly interested in North America. Although he explains that its "large, simple, and easily comprehensible geographic features" as well as unfavorable climate for agriculture render the continent "unfit to cradle great peoples", he argues that the topography is perfectly suited for a race with better characteristics. Thus, Shaler argues that North America has "peculiar advantages” for American people (of Aryan descent) because the climate and topography of the land is ideal for the institution of slavery, which made it possible to cultivate this "new and rude land".

Shaler believed that slavery was greatly beneficial for the United States, and even went so far as to suggest that slaves themselves benefitted from this institution, suggesting slavery "led to the rapid accumulation of wealth, and in this way brought the people the sooner into a condition in which they could control their own destiny." Expressing concern that the South will "release into barbarism", Shaler proposes that "the advance of the negro to a satisfactory grade of development still depends upon his remaining in close contact with the superior race."

Legacy at Harvard University
In his later career, Shaler served as Harvard's Dean of Sciences and was considered one of the university's most popular teachers. He published scores of long and short treatises in his lifetime, with subjects ranging from topographical surveys to moral philosophy. Shaler mentored many students, including William Morris Davis, who worked for him as a field assistant, and was later hired by Shaler to teach at Harvard. Davis became a renowned geographer, and similar to Shaler, wrote about how different geographies produced more or less fit societies. When Shaler passed, a fund was set up by alumni in his honor, which was specified to be used for field experiences, and these funds are still in use for student field trips today.

Shaler was a neighbor of businessman Gordon McKay, and convinced McKay to leave most of his enormous fortune to fund expansion of Harvard's science programs.

Alice Coachman

Alice Marie Coachman Davis (November 9, 1923 – July 14, 2014) was an American athlete. She specialized in high jump and was the first black woman to win an Olympic gold medal.

Early life and education
Alice Coachman was born on November 9, 1923, in Albany, Georgia. She was the fifth of Fred and Evelyn Coachman's ten children. Coachman was unable to access athletic training facilities or participate in organized sports because of the color of her skin. Added to the list of training barriers was her status as a female athlete during a time of widespread opposition to women in sports. She trained using what was available to her, running shoeless along the dirt roads near her home and using homemade equipment to practice her jumping.

Coachman attended Monroe Street Elementary School where she was encouraged by her year 5 teacher Cora Bailey and by her aunt, Carrie Spry, despite the reservations of her parents. Upon enrolling at Madison High School in 1938, she joined the track team, working with Harry E. Lash to develop her skill as an athlete. Within a year she drew the attention of the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama.

In 1939 she joined the Tuskegee Preparatory School at the age of 16 after being offered a scholarship. The scholarship required her to work while studying and training, which included cleaning and maintaining sports facilities as well as mending uniforms.

Coachman went on to graduate with a degree in dressmaking from the Tuskegee Institute in 1946. The following year she continued her studies at Albany State College, receiving a B.S. in Home Economics with a minor in science in 1949. She became a teacher and track-and-field instructor.

Athletic career
Prior to arriving at the Tuskegee Preparatory School, Coachman competed in the Amateur Athletic Union's (AAU) Women's National Championships breaking the college and National high jump records while competing barefoot. Her unusual jumping style was a combination of straight jumping and western roll techniques.

Coachman dominated the AAU outdoor high jump championship from 1939 through 1948, winning ten national championships in a row. In addition to her high jump accomplishments, she won national championships in the 50-meter dash, the 100-meter dash and with the 400-meter relay team as a student at the Tuskegee Institute. During the same period, Coachman won three conference championships playing as a guard on the Tuskegee women's basketball team. Despite being in her prime, Coachman was unable to compete in the 1940 and 1944 Olympic Games as they were canceled because of World War II. In the opinion of sportswriter Eric Williams, "Had she competed in those canceled Olympics, we would probably be talking about her as the No. 1 female athlete of all time."

Coachman's first opportunity to compete on a global stage was during the 1948 Olympic Games in London. She qualified for the US Olympic team with a high jump of 5 ft breaking the previous 16-year-old record by 3/4 in. In the high jump finals of the 1948 Summer Olympics, Coachman leaped 1.68 m on her first try. Her nearest rival, Great Britain's Dorothy Tyler, matched Coachman's jump, but only on her second try. Coachman was the only American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics in 1948. Her medal was presented by King George VI.

Upon her return to the United States after the Olympics, Coachman had become a celebrity. Soon after meeting President Harry Truman and former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, she was honored with parades from Atlanta to Albany and was thrown a party by Count Basie. In 1952 she became the first African-American woman to endorse an international product when she was signed as a spokesperson by the Coca-Cola Company who featured her prominently on billboards alongside 1936 Olympic winner Jesse Owens. In her hometown, Alice Avenue, and Coachman Elementary School were named in her honor.

Later life
Coachman's athletic career ended when she was 24. She dedicated the rest of her life to education and to the Job Corps.

Coachman died in Albany, Georgia on July 14, 2014, of cardiac arrest after suffering through respiratory problems. She had a stroke a few months prior for which she received treatment from a nursing home. She had two children during her first marriage to N. F. Davis, which ended in divorce. Her second husband, Frank Davis, preceded her in death.

Legacy
In 1979 Coachman was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. During the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Coachman was honored as one of the 100 greatest Olympians. She was an honorary member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, inducted in 1998 In 2002, she was designated a Women's History Month Honoree by the National Women's History Project. Coachman was also inducted to the USA Track and Field Hall of fame in 1975 and the United States Olympic Hall of Fame in 2004.

Coachman has received recognition for opening the door for future African-American track stars such as Evelyn Ashford, Florence Griffith Joyner, and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. In fact, in the years since her display of Olympic prowess, black women have made up a majority of the US women's Olympic track and field team. "I think I opened the gate for all of them," she reflected. "Whether they think that or not, they should be grateful to someone in the black race who was able to do these things."

William Tubby

William Bunker Tubby (21 August 1858 – 1944) was an American architect who was particularly notable for his work in New York City.

Tubby was born in Des Moines, Iowa, and graduated from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute in 1875. He worked in the architectural offices of Ebenezer L. Roberts until beginning his own firm in 1883. Continuing this practice until his retirement in 1942, Tubby became a major New York architect. He created important buildings in a variety of styles, and was especially known for his Romanesque and Dutch Revival-style designs.

The house that Tubby designed for Charles Millard Pratt at 241 Clinton Avenue (1893, located in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill Historic District) is one of the city's finest examples of Romanesque Revival architecture. His creativity and expertise can also be seen in several other Brooklyn homes: the neo-Jacobean Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture Meeting House, the Romanesque Revival style home at 234 Lincoln Place, the Queen Anne style row at 864-872 Carroll Street, the residences of Brooklyn mayors at 405 Clinton Avenue, and the Dutch Revival house at 43 Willow Street, which Tubby himself occupied.

His institutional designs include Pratt Institute's Student Union from 1887, the Romanesque Revival style South Hall for Pratt Institute in 1892 (designated New York City Landmark), the Renaissance Revival style library building for the Pratt Institute (1896, a designated New York City Landmark), the Romanesque Revival style 83rd Police Precinct House in Brooklyn (1894–95), a designated New York Landmark) and the Flemish Revival style Wallabout Market (demolished) which was once the second-largest market in the world. As a member of the Architects' Advisory Commission for the Brooklyn Carnegie Libraries, Tubby designed five library buildings.

Outside of New York City, Tubby created designs for banks, churches, libraries, hospitals and large estates throughout the Northeast, including Waveny House in New Canaan, Connecticut, and Dunnellen Hall in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Roslyn National Bank and Trust Company Building at Roslyn, New York, was built in 1931.

Tubby lived in Brooklyn Heights at 43 Willow Street before retiring to Greenwich in his later life. A member of the Brooklyn Guild Association, he taught architecture at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute.

List of works
The following table presents an incomplete list of buildings designed by William Tubby, focusing on those that are extant or for which there is adequate documentation of their style. Note that most addresses link to Google Street View images of the buildings.

Check Facts
So much of this article is wrong I don't know where to begin. (At least the callsign is right.) 121a0012 03:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you troll fishing? Nearly all of this information is from various published histories of WOWO, such as here.  Which facts are you challenging?  Please itemize below with your alternative version. —Optikos 03:04, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Text is basically correct. My complaint was putting Art Salzberg up with Bob Seivers and Bob Chase. He was not a part of the Westinghouse great days and thus should not be included. WOWO Historian

Correction/clarification needed: Apparently WOWO was the first station "wholly owned" by Westinghouse Electric's then-new subsidiary, Westinghouse Broadcasting. But the way it's stated here is misleading -- as, of course, Westinghouse had built and continued to own several other pioneer radio stations, starting with KDKA, Pittsburgh, in 1920. The unofficial WOWO history Web site also makes this statement, but mentions that it was the first licensed to the subsidiary. In general, this "first" is meaningless trivia. I don't know why anyone would bother mentioning it. Also, when WOWO was discontinued as a Class A ("clear channel") station under the FCC rules because its nighttime power was reduced, WLIB did not in any way take over that status. WLIB is a Class B station that, unlike Class A stations, has no protection from interference for its nighttime, long-distance skywave signal. A footnote: WOWO was the last clear-channel station designated by the FCC when it increased its power in 1954 -- and the first to be discontinued.99.30.233.255 (talk) 06:51, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Ironies
Isn't it ironic that WOWO was powered down to make room for Air America WLIB? --AlexDW 15:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't mix the timeline too much. WOWO was reduced from clear channel nearly a decade before Air America existed.  —optikos 19:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Current Programming Schedule
As I see it, having the current programming schedule listed violates WP:NOT (Section 3) Wanted to get other thoughts on this. Acronjsmith 20:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

text moved here from Fort Wayne, Indiana
The following text was moved here from the main Fort Wayne article because it is not about Fort Wayne. - Davodd 20:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC) WOWO was one of the original Westinghouse stations, a 50,000 watt clear channel AM station heard all over the eastern seaboard. In 1992 Hurricane Andrew knocked off many radio stations in South Florida and WOWO was one of the stations Floridians could hear updated news of the Hurricane. WOWO was also well known in the 70's and 80's for it's extensive Indiana sports, agriculture and weather coverage. In the mid 1990's the signal was downgraded to 9,200 watts allowing station WLIB New York extend it's coverage. WOWO and WLIB share the same frequency and WOWO's dominant 50,000 watt signal prevented WLIB from extending it's coverage without a downgrade of WOWO's grandfathered signal.

Someone copied all the text from the WVUR about us page. This user did not give proper citation and may not have gotten permission from WVUR or the author of that article and I worry that this page may end up the Copyrights problem page if we don't fix this. Andrew Powell 18:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * My opinion is that it would be of good value to include some of the information form the WVUR about us page on this site to add some more information about the history of the station. I think it would be better to write our own text here and site the sources of our facts rather than using a gigantic block quote. Andrew Powell 18:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed, once i have the chance, I'd be willing to implement it in an original, non-infringing way. Craig R. Nielsen 18:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry about copying that block of quote, I am actually an Admin of WVUR site. I just wanted to get something up there because there was absolutly nothing in there about the station. Maybe we can work something out with getting you guys some info and maybe help write some stuff. Matt Preuss  27 April 2006

Management and Awards: unencyclopedic?
This page includes very long lists of award winners, alumni, and station team members. Check out Indiana University's WIUX-LP, Ball State's WWHI, and other college radio station pages. Few if any list individual names, except when those people have Wikipedia articles. For instance, Ginger Zee is a notable alum and she should be referenced on the WVUR page.

I think it's worthwhile listing the number and type of awards won, as well as the names of notable alumni/management and their years of service. All other information in the Management and Awards sections should be heavily condensed or removed entirely. The Source's own webpage would be a good place to host those names. Runner1928 (talk) 18:01, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

 * See Yale Daily News for an example of a student media outlet that has a good alumni section: just people with notable careers outside of the media outlet are included.Runner1928 (talk) 03:36, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Contains several inaccuracies
When attempted to correct, I was told that my prior work at the radio station created a conflict of interest. It was suggested that I not contribute as such. While I question the view that a previous employee is not an appropriate source for historical information, clearly wikipedia believes that a source not connected with the radio station is somehow more qualified to offer input on the topic. As such I have returned to article to its previous inaccurate state.

 * Actually, you're the one building that mountain. You started doing so when you called into question the idea that someone with knowledge of the situation corrected factual errors. There was nothing factually wrong. Yet, the fact that I once drew a pay check from that radio station somehow means in wiki-world that I'm the most unqualified for the job. You want facts? Find them yourself. Not that I trust you much. I've found two mistakes in the Mark Patrick entry you lay claim to. Yes, I've known Mark for almost 40 years. As for you, Striker, farewell.

You'll note that I did not revert your edits (unless you added something that is inherently original research, as defined by policy). The issue that I raised is that you may have a conflict of interest, which is considered to be problematic on Wikipedia. Your issue is with the policy, not the fact that I pointed out the conflict.

Liberal National Party of Queensland

The Liberal National Party of Queensland (LNP) is a major political party in Queensland, Australia. It was formed in 2008 by a merger of the Queensland divisions of the Liberal Party and the National Party. At a federal level and in most other states, the two parties remain distinct and often operate as a Coalition. The LNP is a division of the Liberal Party of Australia, and an affiliate of the National Party of Australia.

After suffering defeat at its first election in 2009 the LNP won government for the first time at the 2012 election, winning 78 out of 89 seats, a record majority in the unicameral Parliament of Queensland. Campbell Newman became the first LNP Premier of Queensland. The Newman Government was subsequently defeated by the Labor Party at the 2015 election.

Background
Since the 1970s, the Queensland branches/divisions of the National Party and Liberal Party had found themselves in frequent competition with one another for seats in Queensland. The Liberal Party (and its predecessors) and the National Party (formerly the Country Party and National Country Party) have been in a coalition at the federal level for all but a few years since 1923. In most parts of Australia, the Liberal Party is the larger party, concentrated in urban areas, with the Nationals a junior partner operating exclusively in rural and regional areas. Competition between the two is thus minimised as the two attempt to win more seats combined than the Australian Labor Party.

However, Queensland is Australia's second most decentralised state (after Tasmania). Like most state capitals in Australia, Brisbane is far and away Queensland's largest urban centre; it has more than double the population of the next largest urbanised area, the Gold Coast, and is five times as large as the third-largest, the Sunshine Coast. However, only around 45% of the state's population lives in the Brisbane area. Unlike the rest of Australia, a larger portion of Queensland's population is distributed either in regional cities like Toowoomba, Rockhampton, Townsville, Mackay, Gladstone and Cairns, or in rural areas. As such, the urban-rural divide is not as pronounced in Queensland as in the rest of Australia; in other states, 60% or more of the population lives in and around the state's capital city.

Historically, the Country/National Party was stronger in these regional centres than the Liberals. As a result, the Nationals had more seats than the Liberals and their predecessors, and had been the senior partner in the non-Labor Coalition since 1924. This division into urban, regional and rural areas was, for most of the twentieth century, reflected in a system of malapportionment that made it easier for rural-based parties to win more seats in Parliament.

The formation of the LNP was actually the third attempt to unite the non-Labor side in Queensland. In 1925, the United Party — the Queensland branch of the urban-based Nationalist Party — and the Country Party merged as the Country and Progressive National Party. This party won government in 1929 under former Queensland Country leader Arthur Edward Moore, but was defeated in 1932 and split apart in 1936. In 1941, the Queensland divisions of the United Australia Party and Country Party merged as the Country-National Organisation, under Frank Nicklin of the Country side. However, this merger only lasted until 1944.

During the 1970s, the Country Party began running candidates in the more urbanised south-east corner of the state, including the Brisbane area, in direct competition with the Liberals. This was part of a larger strategy by the federal party to expand its base outside of rural areas — reflected in successive name changes to the National Country Party in 1975 and the National Party in 1982. The state party had actually changed its name to the National Party in 1974 as part of its effort to broaden its reach.

After more than a decade of increasingly fraught relations, the Liberals pulled out of the Coalition in 1983. The Nationals came up one seat short of a majority in their own right in the election held later that year. The Nationals then persuaded two Liberals to defect to them, and governed alone until their defeat in 1989.

In 1992, the electoral system was changed to Optional Preferential Voting, meaning that three-cornered contests between Liberal, National and Labor candidates became much more likely to see Labor candidates win. The other change in 1992 was the end of the old zonal electoral system for the Legislative Assembly, the sole chamber of the state's parliament. As a result, 40 of the 89 seats—almost half of the seats in the legislature—were now based in Brisbane. The Liberals and Nationals signed a renewed Coalition agreement in November 1992, two months after Labor easily won a second term. However, it was all but impossible to win a majority government without a substantial base in Brisbane, something that was difficult for the Coalition to do since the Nationals were the senior partner. Brisbane's increased share of the legislature made it politically difficult to win even a minority government without winning a significant share of the capital's seats. Labor was in government for all but three years from 1989 to 2012 in large part because it won at least 30 seats in greater Brisbane at every election. Even when it was briefly consigned to opposition by the Rob Borbidge-led Coalition from 1996 to 1998, Labor still won 31 seats in Brisbane.

The 1995 state election proved just how difficult it was for the Coalition to win during this time. While it actually won a slim majority of the two-party vote, much of that margin was wasted on landslides in the Nationals' heartland. As mentioned above, Labor won 31 seats in Brisbane, allowing it to eke out a one-seat majority. The Labor majority was lost altogether a few months later in a by-election, but the Coalition was only able to form a minority government by a margin of one seat with the support of independent Liz Cunningham. This underscored how difficult the 1992 reforms made it to form even a minority government without a substantial base in Brisbane. The situation became worse with the emergence of other forces on the right such as Pauline Hanson's One Nation and the City Country Alliance, and the advocacy by the Labor Party under Peter Beattie starting in 2001 of a "just vote 1" strategy that caused non-Labor preferences to exhaust instead of leaking to other non-Labor candidates. By the turn of the millennium, many members of both parties felt that a merger would reduce harmful competition between non-Labor candidates and to increase the chances of winning seats in Brisbane from Labor.

The Queensland Liberals and Nationals had contested separately for the Senate in federal elections until the 2007 election, when they ran a join Senate ticket for the first time in 30 years.

Liberal National Party
On 30 May 2008, an agreement in principle to merge was established between the Queensland divisions of the Liberal and National parties. A plebiscite of members of each party was then conducted with a large majority of respondents favouring the proposed merger.

The agreement in principle and a draft constitution were considered by separate meetings of the parties held over 26–27 July 2008, and the LNP was created on 26 July 2008. The inaugural conference of the LNP was held following the adoption of the constitution. The two parties had been meeting in adjoining rooms of the Sofitel Hotel in Brisbane. The wall between the two meetings was removed after both parties approved the merger, and the inaugural conference of the newly merged party began soon afterward. After the July 2008 merger, the party had 25 members in the Legislative Assembly: 17 originally elected as Nationals, 8 originally elected as Liberals. National Party leader Lawrence Springborg became the merged party's first leader, and remained as Leader of the Opposition. Liberal Party leader Mark McArdle became Deputy Leader of the new party, and remained Deputy Leader of the Opposition. While the new party was dominated by former Nationals, its president acquired full voting rights with the federal Liberals and observer status with the federal Nationals.

The LNP fought its first election as a unified party at the 2009 state election. It managed an eight-seat swing and finished one percentage point behind Labor on the two-party-preferred vote (with optional preference voting). However, it came up 11 seats short of forming government mainly due to winning only six seats in Brisbane. Springborg resigned as leader, later becoming deputy leader under his successor, John-Paul Langbroek. Langbroek is from the Liberal side of the merger, and his election marked the first time since 1925 that the non-Labor side in Queensland had been led by someone aligned federally with the Liberals or their predecessors.

Federal Queensland Liberal and National federal representatives and senators remained affiliated to their respective parties until after the 2010 Federal Election, with senators retaining their affiliation until the new Senate sat in July 2011.

Bruce McIver oversaw the Liberal–National party merger as president, which saw the Queensland Nationals, with their long history of social conservatism, amalgamate with the Queensland branch of the more socially progressive Liberal Party. McIver's time as National Party president coincided with the demotion of members who did not share his socially conservative views. After then parliamentary leader Jeff Seeney disagreed with McIver's opposition to stem-cell research and criticised McIver's email seeking to instruct politicians on how they should exercise their conscience vote, he was soon deposed from the leadership. This led to speculation in the Courier Mail that the Queensland Nationals had been "hijacked by the Christian Right", drawing parallels to similar developments in certain parts of the United States.

On 22 March 2011, Brisbane Lord Mayor Campbell Newman announced that he would seek preselection for the Brisbane-area seat of Ashgrove, a seat with a 7.1 percent Labor majority, and if successful, would challenge Langbroek for the party leadership. Newman, like Langbroek, is from the Liberal side of the merger. Langbroek and Springborg resigned as leader and deputy leader hours later. Under normal circumstances, an LNP MP from a safe seat would have resigned so Newman could get into the chamber via a by-election. However, a by-election could not be arranged. To solve this problem, former Nationals leader Jeff Seeney, who was elected deputy leader at the same time Newman was formally elected leader, became interim parliamentary leader (and hence Leader of the Opposition) while Newman led the party into the 24 March 2012 state election. Seeney agreed to cede the parliamentary leader's post to Newman if he was elected to parliament.

The 2012 state election saw Newman lead the LNP to a landslide victory. The LNP scored a 14.5 percent swing from Labor, just short of 50 percent of the primary vote, and won an additional 44 seats. In the process, the LNP took all but three seats in the Brisbane metropolitan area, in some cases on swings of 10 percent or more. Overall, the LNP won 78 seats to Labor's seven, the largest majority government in Queensland history. Newman won Ashgrove on a swing of 12.7 percent, almost double what he needed to take the seat off Labor. He was sworn in as premier two days later, heading the state's first non-Labor majority government in 23 years.

The LNP appeared to be positioned to win a second term at the 31 January 2015 state election, albeit with a reduced majority. However, in a shock result that had not been foreseen by any commentators, let alone either party, the LNP suffered a 12 percent swing and lost its majority. Labor took 31 seats off the LNP, and came within one seat of rebounding from only nine seats at dissolution to an outright majority. One of the LNP casualties was Newman, who became just the second Queensland premier since Federation to lose his own seat. He immediately announced his retirement from politics, and Springborg was elected his successor on 7 February with Langbroek as his deputy. Although Springborg initially harboured hopes of forming a minority government, this ended when Labor formed a minority government with the support of the lone independent in the chamber.

On 6 May 2016, Tim Nicholls, who is from the Liberal side of the merger, successfully challenged Springborg for the leadership of the party, winning the ballot 22 votes to 19. Deb Frecklington, the member for the ancestrally National seat of Nanango (the seat of former Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen), was elected deputy leader. Nicholls led the party to defeat at the November 2017 state election. The LNP actually suffered a three-seat swing, allowing Labor to win government in its own right. Nicholls subsequently stepped down as party leader. Frecklington was elevated to the leadership position at a party-room meeting on 12 December 2017, with Tim Mander selected as deputy leader.

Under Frecklington's leadership, the LNP was heavily defeated at the 2020 state election, in which it only managed to win five seats in Brisbane. Frecklington initially planned to stay on as leader, but on 2 November announced that she would call a leadership spill which she would not contest. David Crisafulli, the member for the Gold Coast seat of Broadwater, was elected LNP leader on 12 November 2020, with Toowoomba-area MP David Janetzki as his deputy.

Function at a federal level
The party has in the past supplied a former Deputy Prime Minister; former federal Nationals leader Warren Truss, Deputy Prime Minister in the Abbott Government, was a member of the LNP.

In February 2022, before the 21 May 2022 federal election, out of 29 LNP federal MPs and Senators, 21 sat with the Liberals while eight sat with the Nationals. The eight LNP MPs and Senators who sat with the Nationals were:
 * The Hon. David Littleproud MP
 * George Christensen MP (Christensen left LNP and Joined One Nation in 2022)
 * Michelle Landry MP
 * Ken O'Dowd MP
 * The Hon. Keith Pitt MP
 * Llew O'Brien MP (who was briefly unaffiliated with either federal party in 2020)
 * Senator The Hon. Matt Canavan
 * Senator Susan McDonald

The affiliation of newly elected members is covered by the following informal agreement:
 * Members who gain a seat where the sitting member was not from the LNP will affiliate based on the last LNP member who held the seat.
 * For example, if an LNP candidate defeats a Greens sitting member and the seat's most recent LNP member sat with the Liberal, then the new member will affiliate with the Liberals.
 * A division of seats was decided upon for new seats or seats that have never been won by the Coalition.

In practice, most LNP MPs from Brisbane and the Gold Coast sit with the Liberals, while those from country seats usually sit with the Nationals.

The party has considered forming a separate party room in the Federal Parliament (i.e., separate from the federal Nationals who are formed by NSW and Victorian members). As a separate party the LNP would be the second largest party of the Coalition and would theoretically have a claim to the Deputy Prime Minister's post in any Coalition government.

Llew O'Brien sat with the Nationals until 10 February 2020. He has since opted to sit within the Coalition party room, but not with the Nationals or Liberals, following his call for a leadership spill against Michael McCormack the week before. O'Brien rejoined the federal Nationals parliamentary party in December 2020.

After the 2022 election, Peter Dutton of the outer Brisbane seat of Dickson became federal leader of the Liberals while David Littleproud of the regional Queensland seat of Maranoa became federal leader of the Nationals. This is the first time that LNP MPs have been federal leaders of both respective federal Coalition partners.

The list of leaders are as such:

Does anyone know whatever happened to Mike McGuire, who was chief meterologist prior to 1993? I remembered they said he went to a station in St. Louis, but other than that I'm not sure. I tried Googling his name but came up with noting.76.177.160.69 (talk) 22:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

"I Gotta Pay for this?"
Maybe the sub-headline isn't the best, but this incident should be included. Somebody removed it deeming it "innapropriate content", without elaborating any further. However, if you refer to the KRON wiki page, you'll see it does include a similar reference to their "Bub Rubb" incident. I would never have heard about this station or visited it's page without the seeing Chrisos story. I heard about it on a Sacramento station for goodness sakes! I moved the section down to try and appease the person who thinks it's innapropriate; however, as someone who works in local news and reads wikipedia, I can tell you it's more appropriate to include the bit about the Chrisos story than it is to include that vanity section about the past personalities.--Anchorlady (talk) 15:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

 * It was removed per WP:C as the video from the station is copyrighted and should also be removed from You Tube, it is also unencylopedic, and is not appropriate for a serious enclyopedia. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 01:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

 * It's very encyclopedic, it's gotten the station NATIONAL ATTENTION for christsake... Also, just because the story is copyrighted doesn't mean it's not OK to write ABOUT it. If that were the case most Wikipedia articles would have to be deleted. Posting the story on YouTube may not be OK, but writing about it does not violate any copyrights. Also, please refer to the KRON page which has a similar section, a station that is about 100 markets higher and therefore the page is edited more often.--75.37.32.40 (talk) 03:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 19:05, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Saint Regulus

Saint Regulus or Saint Rule (Old Irish: Riagal) was a legendary 4th century monk or bishop of Patras, Greece who in AD 345 is said to have fled to Scotland with the bones of Saint Andrew, and deposited them at St Andrews. His feast day in the Aberdeen Breviary is 17 October.

Biography

The details of Saint Regulus' life are unclear and differ in the several extant accounts. Saint Regulus was a monk or bishop of the city of Patras, in present-day Greece, then part of the Roman Empire. In AD 345 Regulus was told by an angel in a visionary dream that the Emperor Constantine had decided to remove Saint Andrew's relics from Patras to Constantinople, and in some retellings that Constantine was about to invade Patras. For safekeeping Regulus was to move as many bones as far away as he could to the western ends of the earth, where he should found a church dedicated to St Andrew. He was accompanied on his voyage by a number of consecrated virgins, among these Saint Triduana.

According to the various accounts Regulus was either shipwrecked or told by an angel to stop intentionally on the shores of Fife at the spot called Kilrymont, a Pictish settlement which is now St. Andrews. Here he was welcomed by a Pictish king, Óengus I (who was actually of the eighth century). Regulus is claimed to have brought three fingers of the saint's right hand, the upper bone of an arm, one kneecap, and one of his teeth.

Legacy
In approximately 1070 Robert I, Prior of St Andrews built St Regulus Church in the town of St Andrews in order to house the relics of St Andrew that Regulus had supposedly brought to the town. It would serve as a landmark for the many pilgrims that would come to the area in the next few centuries. Its main architectural feature is its 33 metre tall tower, and the church itself is now principally known in the town as St Rule's tower.

The legend of St Regulus came to have political significance in the later Middle Ages. It served to authenticate the apostle Andrew as patron saint of Scotland. The Regulus legend was publicised by Scottish kings, nobles and churchmen from the 12th century onwards. Scottish independence had come under threat from England since the late 11th century, and the Scottish church was contesting a claim to primacy by the archbishop of York. By promoting the story of Saint Andrew's choice of Scotland in the 4th century, the Scots acquired an important saint, a separate identity from England, and a date for the supposed foundation of the Scottish Church which predated the foundation of the English and Irish churches by several centuries. Furthermore, during the wars of Scottish Independence the Scots used the legend to persuade Pope Boniface VIII to issue the papal bull of 1299 which demanded that Edward I of England end the war against Scotland. The legend would also lead to the adoption of the saltire on the Scottish flag and the importance of the archdiocese of St Andrews in the early Scottish Church.

St Regulus Hall, the student hall of residence at the University of St Andrews is named after Saint Regulus.

October 2021 Edit Request
Hi there - I work for WFYI and was wanting to submit some proposed changes to this page in order to ensure it is up-to-date and accurate, but want to respect the proper process (not editing it myself).

Please let me know if this edit is possible and if I should format it differently.

The station's current president and CEO is Greg Petrowich as of July 2019. Source: https://www.wfyi.org/wfyi-press-room/greg-petrowich-to-succeed-retiring-lloyd-wright-as-wfyi-president-and-ceo

 * ✅ Ok, I just removed the sentence as neither Wright nor Petrowich are currently on the PBS board. --Lasunncty (talk) 00:19, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Feb 2018 Table Update
WFYI has announced that OTA receivers must rescan starting 10AM 26 Feb 2018. The only explanation so far is "newly installed broadcast equipment".

Does anyone know what is happening? Are they changing their RF channel?

I believe that altering their sub-channel usage (for example, adding 20.4 or going from SD to HD) wouldn't require a configuration change in the tables. Further, table updates can be "pushed" by the broadcasters.

So why the need to rescan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by HiTechHiTouch (talk • contribs) 11:36, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Proposed split
It has been nearly a year since the split was proposed with no comments. I think there is no need to have separate articles about the FM and TV divisions of the same organization, especially since the article about the combined entity is already so small. I will remove the Split-multiple after July 12, 2007, the one year anniversary of it's addition. --rogerd 06:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

 * To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Untitled
Channel 6 is running a lot of paid programming in the afternoons on weekends, except when they broadcast sports from ABC, but why are they airing about three hours of Christian programming on the ABC affilate, perhaps they could air old reruns of whatever program, and there is two full-time Christian TV stations in Indianapolis. --4.85.131.185 03:03, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to a list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 03:49, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Incomplete edit summaries
Wow. My finger keeps slipping and hits enter before I could finish my edit summaries. I meant to say "removed "multiple issues" part of maintenance template to make it look correct" in both. Sorry! Qpalzmmzlapq (talk) 02:20, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Call sign meaning
Is the call sign supposed to mean "W(e) (a)r(e) TV"? Or just a folk etymology? Chuterix (talk) 15:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
