Category:Religious founder

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 13:50, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Spurious criteria stated on the Category page/ Original research ≈ jossi ≈ 21:39, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Description does not fit category name; should be Religious founders anyway; too narrow and also empty. siafu 22:23, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Empty? Why yes, I suppose it is empty.  I wonder if that has anything to do with Jossi putting it up for deletion less than three hours after its creation? -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:31, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know. What do you think?  Is that why it's still empty? siafu 18:14, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, clearly. -Splash 23:52, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * rename into category:religious founders I should have created a category:religious founders. I disagree with Jossi's remark that the criteria are spurious and even if they are then it is not a valid reason for deletion because the criteria can be changed without having the category deleted. Detailed criteria are necessary to avoid confusion among readers and editors. Andries 06:41, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * That category does not work. You cannot have a list in which you decide who is a religion founder. Most reloigions are founded after these persons pass away and not when they are alive. ≈ jossi ≈ 17:50, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Also see discussion of Founders of religions or sects from 20 August. - choster 14:39, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Category:Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep --Kbdank71 13:47, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Listify; we don't have categories for other honours. JW 19:46, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: We don't? Have a look at Category:Navy Cross recipients, Category:Medal of Honor recipients, Category:Members of the Order of Canada, Category:Nobel Peace Prize winners, and Category:Freeman of the City of London for other examples (some civilian, some not). --Durin 20:40, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and find a suitable parent cat.  ∞ Who ? ¿ ?  22:09, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe Category:Recipients of formal honors? --Durin 22:16, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep per Durin. siafu 22:24, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * People in the Category:Navy Cross recipients are notable because they won a medal. Winning a military decoration is not the same as an "honour", which is honorary and not usually given for a particular action. The Nobel Prize is a competitive prize, the Navy Cross a military decoration, etc, they are not the same as honours that are given out on a subjective basis by a government to its friends and supporters. Do we really need to have categories for honours like this? The French honours, the British honours, knighthoods, CBEs, OBEs and all the rest? JW 22:55, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well it's not like they just hand them out like candy either. It is one of the two civilian awards that is actually recoginized, we aren't talking about a plaque of achievement or something. I am retired military, and I am not offended by this award, and feel its notable.   ∞ Who ? ¿ ?  23:00, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Having the category does not necessarily mean that we are saying that all recipients are made notable because they are recipients, either. That's a question for VfD. There are plenty of very notable people in the category (Gerald Ford, Ella Fitzgerald, etc.) regardless. siafu 23:06, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, but listify too. A list could do this job better than a cat, but the cat is nice and automatic. -Splash 23:52, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: this kind of categories is of dubious value. The people awarded with medals could be notable on their own and listing every medal/award as category could make articles worse. Lists, OTOH, can provide more description and don't pollute original articles. Pavel Vozenilek 02:02, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well I hope so, I dont see creating an article just because they were given the award. I think the list is also a good idea, but if they already have an article, I see no difference in this cat than with the other awards cats, especially if you want to compare it to the Emmy's or something.  ∞ Who ? ¿ ?  18:38, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Bearing in mind the number of honours that are available I just think this is a very bad precedent. If we allow categories for American honours then we have to do it for other countries, and many of them have much more comprehensive systems. In the British system for example, the honours are graduated, so people will get a CBE, then OBE, then KBE and so on, so a lot of people could be potentially categorised in dozens of honours categories. I would hate to think how many an ex-Prime Minister or a Field Marshal would be in. JW 11:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * If we apply your reasons for deletion of this category against other similar categories, then we will be deleting a huge number of categories. There's the possibility of literally hundreds of categories that would be up for deletion if we accept the above reasons you have put forth as sound reasons for deleting this category we're discussing. Category:Nobel laureates by nationality (+3 subcats), and the parent Category:Nobel laureates (+6), Category:Canadian orders and decorations (+3), Category:Recipients of formal honors (+25), Category:U.S. military honor recipients (+5). There's plenty of non-U.S. awards too, like Category:Recipients of Virtuti Militari (and there's plenty more where that came from).
 * Similarly, we'd need to consider the deletion of categories like Category:American League All-Stars (73 more cats)) and Category:National League All-Stars (73 more cats). That's just scratching the surface in sports honors. There's plenty more, like Category:Heisman Trophy winners, Category:Baseball awards and trophies (+3) and more.
 * We have to be careful in applying reasons for deletion against a single category. It is important that we understand the precedent that this decision might make; if we use your reasoning as a basis, then we could also use it as a basis for a very large set of deletions. In making a decision here, we must consider how the decision would scale and apply against similar categories. In this case, I don't think we can reasonably conclude that deletion of all of these categories would be prudent. As such, deletion of this category is not prudent either.
 * By the way, Winston Churchill currently has five awards/orders categories on the article. --Durin 14:41, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * You're introducing a load of categories here that aren't really related to this. The Nobel Prize is a competitive award, not an "honour" in the sense that we are talking about, and neither is Category:American League All-Stars. As for Category:Recipients of formal honors that's just an umbrella category. And as I said before, winners of military decorations (as in Category:U.S. military honor recipients) are not the same as people who have received honorary awards; they are mostly in WP only because they won that particular medal, so its the only way to categorise them.
 * Actually the Nobel peace prize is NOT a competitive prize, although people compete for it, it is rewarded to those who have made a monumental contribution to humanity, I seriously doubt Mother Theresa or Ghandi was hoping they would win the prize. ∞ Who ? ¿ ?  23:23, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not competitive in the sense of a race, but it's still a prize, and as far as I know all the Nobel prizes are given out only once a year and carry a sum of money. You still "win" a Nobel prize, but you don't win a Knighthood. JW 13:22, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * And I've no doubt Churchill would be eligible for more than five honours categories. JW 22:40, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * As far as the other awards and honours, if someone feels so inclined, then be bold and create the cat, if it is undesirable, it will end up here as well. Mis-categorizing or lack of a category is NOT a CFd problem, just make the change(s).  ∞ Who ? ¿ ?  23:23, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * JW: The distinction you are making is interesting. That said, I don't think it matters whether a person "earns" an award or is granted an honor (which is usually bestowed for acts, not much different than "earning" it).
 * We're not going to add people into Wikipedia solely based on the fact they won a Presidential Medal of Freedom. In fact, I doubt there has been or will be a winner of that medal who is not significant for other reasons, for which the honor is being bestowed (if nothing else). I'll add in more categories you're going to have to consider in this sweeping change; Category:Roughrider Award recipients, Category:Erasmus Prize winners, any number of sub categories of Category:Art awards, and same for Category:Orders and decorations.
 * If I might suggest, it would be better if you came up with hard criteria that applies specifically to this category being deleted. If you can't, then you need to develop a set of criteria that clearly delineates the difference between honors that are bestowed as opposed to earned, and then create a reasonable case for deleating those categories that are for honors that are bestowed and why that reasonable argument does not apply to honors that are earned. Keep in mind; you're walking in a lot of gray area. For example, being an all-star is not something you automatically get if you do x-y-z (depending on the sport). Frequently, recipients are voted upon, there is often debate about who is more worthy, and frequently people with better statistics are overlooked in favor of others with lesser stats. So, is such an all-star honor earned or bestowed? I can make a case both ways. Your task is to show why such categories would not fall under your criteria so that we can have a reasonable basis on which to delete this category we are discussing and any that are supposedly like it. I also think you need to make a clearer case for why having such categories is bad for Wikipedia. --Durin 23:32, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep: Given the above discussion, don't see why this group deserves a category less than the others. Seems to me like a legitimate way to group people. TexasAndroid 19:11, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Perhaps I don't know the proper policy, but I just think it's awesome that we actually have all of the articles on the enemy list in a category! I'll (regretfully) change my vote if the policy dictates otherwise. --Zantastik talk  20:28, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * No policy, this is a discussion and your welcome to say pretty much what you want. Especially if you have a good argument for a keep, you may persuade other users.  ∞ Who ? ¿ ?  20:37, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Listify. While there's no strict policy, we do have guidelines on categories, lists and series boxes (Categorization among others). Which are admittedly kind of messy. But anyway the point is that the list of enemies can be better presented as a list, with added data and relations etc. Radiant_ >|< 08:10, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * There are at least few historically notable railway lines in Austria (e.g. because of obstacles ther needed to overcome when going through mountains). Articles on them would be useful and this category (named lines) handy. The current content is inappropriate and should be moved out. Pavel Vozenilek 02:35, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Except for ÖBB and Vienna West Station, all of the 8 other pages in Category:Railways in Austria presently discuss railway lines (most of which used to be independent companies). Martg76 04:35, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I had in mind articles like the one about Semmering. Such ones should be here. Pavel Vozenilek 03:21, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, then let's rename and populate this category. I was just wondering if there is a policy of how big a category should be to justify subcategorization (can't find any). Martg76 16:04, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Rename, but to something else. We already have Category:Software companies and this is a little too close I think. How about Category:Software by authoring company or something. Category:Software by company doesn't really imply authorship very directly. -Splash 23:52, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as is. Renaming to "software by company" leaves out all software authored or owned by non-company entities, which includes almost all freeware and shareware and much material in the open source arena. I'm not sure what the best rename might be at this point, but the suggested one is not it, unfortunately. Courtland 01:13, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * That's not true. Nearly all freeware and shareware has a company or group name on it (most of them one-man virtual "companies"). However, as GRTMP suggests below, developer would be appropriate as well. Radiant_ >|< 08:13, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Wenhua Qiaoliang Trilingual National School

Erdini Qoigyijabu, 11th Panchen Lama
Page is mainland Chinese propaganda. Tibet chose someone else as the 11th Panchen Lama, this guy was chosen by communist China.--Biff Dong 00:11, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedy DeleteAs explained above. Having this guy named the 11th Panchen Lama is incorrect and misleading.--Biff Dong 00:11, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * After reading DS's comments, I would like to change my vote to Merge into Panchen Lama. I don't think he is deserving of a whole page just because mainland China doesn't like the other Panchen and decided to name their own.  --Biff Dong 01:42, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Biff is referring to my comments on his talk page, where I pointed out that even distasteful topics such as government-imposed false lamas can be quite encyclopedic. DS 13:13, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and remove propaganda. The fact that he is being promoted as the fake lama is notable. We have a page for several pretenders, Lady Jane Grey was a pretender too. The argument for deletion here is based on a controversy that is itself notable and this guy is one of the major figures in it. If I see his name in a newspaper article I want to know he is the fake.--Gorgonzilla 00:31, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The page title itself is propaganda--Biff Dong 00:34, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep but rename as appropriate, Erdini Qoigyijabu, fake 11th Panchen Lama or whatever :) . Kappa 00:35, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to Erdini Qoigyijabu. DS 00:39, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Who is that?--Biff Dong 00:45, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename per DS. Capitalistroadster 00:46, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be similar to some antipopes of 12th and 15th century where we will not find out the truth until later. Panchen Lama needs to mention both. --Henrygb 00:47, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Your question about Wikipedia translations
Lhkrn, you wrote (on Ask a question):
 * Do you share the information changed in one language, with other languages. For instance: I made a change in the english language but it did not show in another language. Is there a time delay?? or do you have to change it in both languages??

The various language versions of Wikipeda are completely separate. There is no automatic movement of information from one to the other. Some people do translate articles posted in one language and place them on another language version. You could be one of those people, if you want. However, you are not required to do this.

By the way, the point of the Ask a question page is to point you to places where you can ask questions. You should not post questions on that page. The proper place for questions about Wikipedia is the Help desk.

Aoife

Aoife is an Irish feminine given name. The name is probably derived from the Irish Gaelic aoibh, which means "beauty" or "radiance". It has been compared to the Gaulish name Esvios (Latinized Esuvius, feminine Esuvia), which may be related to the tribal name Esuvii and the theonym Esus.

Irish mythology
In Irish mythology, Aífe the daughter of Airdgeimm, sister of Scathach, is a warrior woman beloved of Cuchullain in the Ulster Cycle. T. F. O'Rahilly supposed that the Irish heroine reflects an otherwise unknown goddess representing a feminine counterpart to Gaulish Esus.

Aífe or Aoife was also one of the wives of Lir in the Oidheadh chloinne Lir ("Fate of the Children of Lir"), who turned her stepchildren into swans. There is also Aoife (Áiffe ingen Dealbhaoíth), a woman transformed into a crane, whose skin after death became Manannán's "Crane-bag".

Biblical rendering
The name is unrelated to the Biblical name Eva, which was rendered as Éabha in Irish, but due to the similarity in sound, Aoife has often been anglicised as Eva or Eve. Aoife MacMurrough (also known as Eva of Leinster) was a 12th-century Irish noblewoman. The first use of Aoife (that spelling) as a given name in 20th-century Ireland was in 1912.

Durham–UNH station

Durham–University of New Hampshire station, also known as Durham–UNH station or simply Durham station, is a passenger rail station in Durham, New Hampshire, served by Amtrak's Downeaster line. The historic depot, which now houses the UNH Dairy Bar, is situated just west of downtown Durham on the campus of the University of New Hampshire (UNH). The station is owned by the university, but an adjacent parking area is managed by the town of Durham. On average, about 161 rail passengers board or detrain daily at Durham, making it the third-busiest Amtrak stop in New Hampshire.

Service
Durham is served by five Downeaster trains in each direction daily. Durham is approximately one hour by train from Portland and 1:30 from Boston. UNH students and Durham residents comprise most of the riders, as the lack of parking available to the general public means most commuters drive to and park at Dover or Exeter, the stations north and south respectively of Durham.

The university operates both a free on-campus bus shuttle service, Campus Connector Shuttle, and Wildcat Transit, an off-campus service, serving the cities and towns of Dover, Lee, Madbury, Newmarket, Newington, and Portsmouth. The bus services operate year-round but scale back outside of the academic year. There is a Wildcat Transit and UNH Campus Connector bus stop approximately 1000 ft from the platform on Main Street.

History
The Boston and Maine Railroad (B&M) began service to Durham in 1841, and by the end of the 19th century included 7 to 12 trains per day. The tracks through Durham originally followed a course slightly east of the current alignment, with a station at Main Street. On January 22, 1905, an express train derailed in downtown Durham, injuring 11 passengers and prompting concerns about future crashes in the downtown area. In 1912, prompted by the town and the need to add a second track, the railroad moved its tracks further west away from downtown. Edgewood Road is now built on the former right of way. The B&M disassembled the underused 1896-built East Lynn station in Lynn, Massachusetts, and rebuilt it on the new alignment at Durham.

In 1958, the B&M was approved to discontinue all its interstate passenger services. The station was sold by the B&M to UNH for $1 in 1960 and soon converted to an ice cream bar. On January 4, 1965, the railroad discontinued all service outside Massachusetts except for single round trips to Concord, NH and Dover, the latter of which served Durham. On June 30, 1967, the Concord trip was cut back to Lowell and the Dover trip to Haverhill, ending service to Durham.

Regular passenger service returned with the opening of the Downeaster on December 14, 2001. The depot was maintained as a restaurant and renovated in 2007-2008 by the university with funding assistance from the United States Department of Transportation. It reopened on August 11, 2008, featuring an upgraded Dairy Bar (a restaurant operated by UNH Hospitality Services).

Last Chance Disco

Last Chance Disco is the second studio album by British punk jazz band Acoustic Ladyland. It was released on 16 May 2005 by Babel Label.

Background
Last Chance Disco was created as a reaction to Pete Wareham's frustration with jazz, and his desire to fuse jazz with the "ethic and fun of punk". The album has been called a mixture of "the language of jazz with the rhetoric of instrumental rock" by The Guardian. The album has also been described as being "closer to thrash metal and grindcore than jazz" in an article describing the band as "an electric jazz band that plays dirty rock 'n' roll, or a dirty rock 'n' roll band that plays electric jazz".

The band promoted the album on the UK television show Later... with Jools Holland shortly after the album's release. Last Chance Disco gained critical acclaim from reviewers on release, Jazzwise ultimately naming it the best album of 2005 in their end of year poll. The Observer also ranked the album in their end of year list, calling it the 85th best album of the 2005 (in any genre). As well as receiving praise for the album, the band themselves won 'Best Band' at the BBC Jazz Awards in the same year.

Critical reception
John L Walters in The Guardian calls the album "an all-out assault on the senses", stating that "this is the least "smooth" jazz album in years". All About Jazz write that Last Chance Disco is "a near seamless flow of rapid fire explosions, postmodern beats, raucous instrumental exuberance, passion, anger and, indefinably but unmistakably, hope and optimism" and say that this album is a "punk jazz orgasm you don't want to miss". The BBC review states that this album is "the first classic of the post-jazz movement" and descrive an album of "life-affirmingly dumb shrieks, stomps and power chords". Ian Mann writes that Last Chance Disco is "one of the albums of 2005 in any genre, and highly recommended to adventurous rock fans as well as hardcore jazz followers" in his review. Stylus Magazine wrote in their review that "the whole damn album is just great ... a relentless ska-punk-jazz-metal conglomeration that shouldn’t work but does".

Camouflage (Acoustic Ladyland album)

Camouflage is an album by Acoustic Ladyland that was recorded in October 2003 and released by Babel Label in 2004. It was the band's first album.

Reception
The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that "The pieces are cleverly orchestrated, Cawley doctoring his piano to make it work like electric guitar [...] while Rochford plays anything other than straight jazz time." John Fordham noted a Jimi Hendrix influence and commented "Hendrix inspiration or no, it doesn't really catch Hendrix's fire, and its themes and ensembles are less memorable than those of Babel's Polar Bear quartet, which also features Rochford, Wareham and Herbert."

Track listing

 * 1) "Some Other Sky"
 * 2) "Marching Dice"
 * 3) "Something Beautiful"
 * 4) "Routinely Denied (No Return)"
 * 5) "Nagel"
 * 6) "Remote Impression"
 * 7) "Little Miss Wingate"
 * 8) "Brave Reply"

Radyr railway station

Radyr railway station is a railway station serving the Radyr area of Cardiff, South Wales. It is at the foot of the hill at the eastern edge of the village, alongside the River Taff and adjacent to the Taff Trail. The station is on the Merthyr Line, and is also the northern terminus of the City Line.

History
Radyr was originally a major railway junction and the location of sidings forming a marshalling yard for freight trains used in the industries in the Glamorgan valleys. It was first opened by the Taff Vale Railway in June 1883, and was originally named Penarth Junction. At one time there were four running lines through the station, up and down passenger and up and down goods on the Taff Vale main line to the valleys northwards and via Llandaff to Cardiff and the docks to the south east. Immediately south of the station, the Cardiff City line diverged southwards and reached the east side of Cardiff via Waterhall Junction, en route to the harbour at Penarth. The marshalling yard was south of the station in the fork between the running lines. Following the down-turn in coal traffic; the marshalling yard closed (in 1993) and the sidings were greatly rationalised, becoming a permanent way depot. The platforms were also rationalised, from five to two, one up and one down.

Redevelopment
In 1987 passenger services were introduced on the City Line by British Rail. This made Radyr a bottleneck, as the terminating trains coming from that line occupied the down platform and delays along the line to the Valleys were inevitable. It also allowed diversions for through trains which was beneficial.

Redesigned as a commuter station in 1998, major renovations took place, resulting in the two freight lines being replaced by a third platform, eliminating the problem of congestion. Also, a new ticket office was built and modern shelters replaced the old waiting area. These renovations coincided with the upgrades along the Taff Main Line, where most of the track was replaced between Cardiff and Pontypridd, and the old-fashioned semaphore signals were replaced with modern, colour light signals worked from a new panel box here (this supervises the Rhondda Line all the way to Treherbert).

These renovations allowed the last of the old sidings to be removed, redeveloped for parking and as a housing development.

Present
Today the station, operated by Transport for Wales, has three platforms. Radyr has six northbound services per hour, with a half hourly service to each of Treherbert, Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil. There are eight southbound services per hour to Cardiff Central, two heading along the City Line that continue to Coryton and six going via Cathays, with two terminating at Cardiff Central, and four continuing every 15 minutes to Barry, three terminating at Barry Island and one terminating at Bridgend. Platform 1 is used by services to Cathays, platform 2 is used for those to Pontypridd and platform 3 for City Line services.

Extensive upgrading and modernisation works were completed in late 2017 by Network Rail as part of the Metro project which included improved access to all platforms by a new footbridge. A larger car park has also been provided to supplement the original which provides much better facilities including good lighting. Wheelchair access is now provided to all platforms via lifts.

The ticket office is staffed in peak morning hours. Travel time into Cardiff Central is 15 minutes on all lines.

In July 2007, members of the Radyr Comprehensive Green Flag Committee formally adopted the station and now frequently check that the station is clean and that all amenities are working. This link ties in with a community response to ensure that railway crime is stamped out.

Services
In Monday-Saturday daytimes, there are usually eight trains an hour from Cardiff Central to destinations including Pontypridd, Treherbert, Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare. There are eight trains an hour to Cardiff Central (two via Ninian Park) with some trains continuing beyond Cardiff to Barry Island, Bridgend (via the Vale of Glamorgan line) and Coryton (via the City line).

A reduced service operates on Sundays, with no trains on the City line.

1920 APFA season

The 1920 APFA season was the inaugural season of the American Professional Football Association, renamed the National Football League in 1922. An agreement to form a league was made by four independent teams from Ohio on August 20, 1920, at Ralph Hay's office in Canton, Ohio, with plans to invite owners of more teams for a second meeting on September 17, 1920. The "American Professional Football Conference" (APFC) was made up of Hay's Canton Bulldogs, Akron Pros, the Cleveland Tigers and the Dayton Triangles, who decided on a six-game schedule to play each other at home-and-away, an agreement to respect each other's player contracts, and to take a stand against signing college students whose class had not yet graduated.

A second organizational meeting was held in Canton on September 17, 1920, with the original four APFC clubs, as well as a fifth Ohio team that had played informally in what historians later dubbed the "Ohio League" (the Columbus Panhandles) and four teams from Illinois (Chicago Cardinals and Chicago Tigers, Decatur Staleys, and Rock Island Independents), two from Indiana (Hammond Pros and Muncie Flyers), two from New York (Buffalo All-Americans and Rochester Jeffersons), and the Detroit Heralds from Michigan for a total of 14. At the meeting, the name of the league became the American Professional Football Association. Four other teams also joined the Association during the year. Meanwhile, Jim Thorpe of the Canton Bulldogs was named the APFA's first president but continued to play for the team.

Scheduling was left up to each team: there were wide variations, both in the overall number of games played, and in the number played against other Association members. Thus, no official standings were maintained. In addition, football teams in the APFA also faced independent football teams not associated with the league.

For instance, the Rochester Jeffersons played a schedule consisting mostly of local teams from their local sandlot circuit and the NYPFL, not the APFA.

The Akron Pros ended the season as the only undefeated team in the Association. Despite this, two one-loss teams, the Decatur Staleys and Buffalo All-Americans, who both tied Akron that year, made cases for a co-championship.

At the league meeting in Akron on April 30, 1921, the Pros were awarded the Brunswick-Balke Collender Cup for the 1920 season, the only year the trophy was used. Had modern NFL tie-breaking rules been in force in 1920, the Buffalo All-Americans (9–1–1) would have been co-champions with the Akron Pros (8–0–3), as both teams had a win percentage of .864 and their only game was tied, while the Staleys (10–1–2) would have finished third with .846. In this regard, if games against non-APFA teams are excluded, Akron (6–0–3) would still have won the championship with .833, but the All-Americans (4–1–1) and the Staleys (5–1–2) would have finished equal second with .750 as they did not play each other.

Of the 14 teams that played in the APFA/NFL's inaugural season, the Chicago Cardinals, now the Arizona Cardinals, and the Decatur Staleys, now the Chicago Bears, are the only teams that remain in the league.

Formation

Prior to the APFA, there were several other loose, professional organizations; most of the APFA teams were from either the Ohio League or the New York Pro Football League. On August 20, 1920, a meeting attended by representatives of four Ohio League teams—Ralph Hay and Jim Thorpe for the Canton Bulldogs, Jimmy O'Donnell and Stan Cofall for the Cleveland Tigers, Carl Storck for the Dayton Triangles, and Frank Nied and Art Ranney for the Akron Pros —was held. At the meeting, the representatives tentatively agreed to call their new league the American Professional Football Conference, introduce a salary cap for the teams, and not to sign college players nor players under contract with another team. According to the Canton Evening Repository, the purpose of the league was to "raise the standard of professional football in every way possible, to eliminate bidding for players between rival clubs and to secure cooperation in the formation of schedules, at least for the bigger teams." The representatives then contacted other major professional teams and invited them to a meeting for September 17.

At that meeting, held at Bulldogs owner Ralph Hay's Hupmobile showroom in Canton, Ohio, representatives of the Rock Island Independents, the Muncie Flyers, the Decatur Staleys, the Racine Cardinals, the Massillon Tigers, the Chicago Tigers, and the Hammond Pros agreed to join the league. Representatives of the Buffalo All-Americans and Rochester Jeffersons could not attend the meeting, but sent letters to Hay asking to be included in the league. Team representatives changed the league's name slightly to the American Professional Football Association and elected officers, installing Thorpe as president, Cofall as vice-president, Ranney as secretary-treasurer. Under the new league structure, teams created their schedules dynamically as the season progressed, so there were no minimum or maximum number of games needed to be played. Also, representatives of each team voted to determine the winner of the APFA trophy.

Teams
The APFA had 14 teams that played during its inaugural season.

Schedule
The regular-season schedule was not fixed but was created dynamically by each team as the season progressed. The first game involving an APFA team occurred on September 26, when the Rock Island Independents beat the St. Paul Ideals 48–0.

The first official game between APFA (NFL) members occurred on October 3, when the Dayton Triangles beat the Columbus Panhandles 14–0. The Triangles' Lou Partlow scored the league's first touchdown and George "Hobby" Kinderline kicked the first extra point. An historic marker placed by the Ohio Historical Society at Triangle Park in Dayton marks the location of that first ever game.

The final game of the season was a 14–14 tie between the Chicago Cardinals and the non-league Chicago Stayms on December 19, 1920. The Decatur Staleys and the Canton Bulldogs played the most games in the season (13), while the Muncie Flyers played the fewest (1). The Buffalo All-Americans scored the most points all season (258), and the Akron Pros allowed the fewest points (7).

Postseason and legacy
As there was no playoff system in the APFA until 1932, a meeting was held to determine the 1920 Champions. Each team that showed up had a vote to determine the champions. Since the Akron Pros never lost a game, the Pros were awarded the Brunswick-Balke Collender Cup on April 30, 1921. The trophy was a "silver loving cup", donated by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company. This decision, however, would arise with controversy. The Staleys and the All-Americans each stated that they should win the award because they had more wins and were not beaten by the Akron Pros. Each player from the Pros was also awarded with a golden fob; this was in the shape of a football and inscribed with "1920", "WORLD CHAMPIONS", and each player's first initial and last name. The Pros did not officially celebrate their championship season until the following year. In October 1921, most of the team was invited to the Elks Club of Akron, which was labeled as "a grand homecoming celebration for the world's champions". Fritz Pollard was congratulated during an Akron Merchants Association of Colored Business Men's meeting.

The Pros were the first team in the history of the APFA to complete a non-modern "perfect season". Only four other teams have since accomplished this feat: the 1922 Canton Bulldogs at 10–0–2, the 1923 Canton Bulldogs at 11–0–1, the 1929 Green Bay Packers at 12–0–1, and the 1972 Miami Dolphins at 17–0–0. In 1972, the NFL changed the rules, so ties count as a half-win and a half-loss.

Even though the Pros were given the trophy in 1920, the league lost track of the event, and for a long time published in its own record books that the 1920 championship was undecided. It was not until the 1970s that the NFL discovered this early vote on awarding the Akron Pros the championship.

All-Pro
Bruce Copeland, sportswriter for the Rock Island Argus, compiled the All-Pro list for 1920. He used the games played in Rock Island, other newspapers, and his own memory to determine the first-, second-, and third-team All-Pro list. Pro-Football-Reference.com uses this list as the official All-Pro list of 1920. Twenty of the players were from Illinois and thirteen were from Ohio. The Rock Island Independents had the most players on the list (9), and Racine Cardinals had the least (1).

 * First-Team All-Pro

 * Second-Team All-Pro

 * Third-Team All-Pro

Hall of Fame
As of 2012, 10 players have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame who played in the 1920 APFA season. One non-player, Joseph Carr, the owner of the Columbus Panhandles in the 1920 season and league president from 1921 to 1939, was also elected to the Hall.

MAKS (air show)

MAKS (МАКС, Международный авиационно-космический салон) is an international air show held at Zhukovsky International Airport, the home of the Gromov Flight Research Institute in Zhukovsky, 40 km southeast of Moscow, Russia. The event was organized by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade until 2009, more recently by the Government of Moscow and Aviasalon. The first show, Mosaeroshow-92, was held in 1992. Since 1993, the air show was renamed as MAKS and is held biennially on odd years.

MAKS is an important event for the Russian aviation industry and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Although it started mainly as an entertainment event, the show soon became a marketplace where Russian aerospace companies could negotiate export contracts and Russian air carriers could make foreign contacts.

The 2023 MAKS event was scheduled for July 25-30 2023, but has been postponed to 2024, allegedly because of security concerns. In June 2024, the government of the Russian Federation announced that it would be further postponed to 2025. In July 2024, the show's organisers announced that an online version would be held instead.

Background and history
The air show's history traces back to 1911, when one was held in Mikhailovskiy Square in Saint Petersburg. The Soviet Union held annual air shows on the Tushino Airfield in Moscow 22 years later. Its history in Zhukovskiy, however, began much later with the Engineering Show by TsAGI in 1990.

The objective of the MAKS air show is to demonstrate leading technologies and to open up the Russian aerospace industry to the international market. A large portion of the show is dedicated to holding scientific conferences and symposia, under the auspices of Russia's Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute.

The air show is held in the city of Zhukovsky, at Zhukovsky International Airport, which is the home of the Gromov Flight Research Institute. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, many aviation companies eventually moved to Zhukovsky, using the Gromov Flight Research Institute's airfield for MosAeroShow-92 held on 11–16 August 1992. A second show was held in 1993, now renamed MAKS. Since then the air show has been held biannually. It lasts for six days, three of which are open to the general public.

Most of previous MAKS air shows were systematic: it usually opens with the attendance of the President of Russia, followed by company talks, and concludes with aircraft demonstrations by aerobatic teams such as the Russian Knights, Swifts, and foreign teams like Patrouille de France or Frecce Tricolori.

Some highlights include:
 * The first public unveiling of the forward-swept-wing S-37 (later Su-47) Berkut at MAKS-1999.
 * The handling of the corporate programs overall cost reductions scandal which made EADS (later Airbus) refuse to attend the same airshow, damaging the image of the airshow substantially.
 * The first inclusion of American aircraft at MAKS-2003.
 * The leasing of Plesetsk cosmodrome for launching 5 German SAR-Lupe satellites at MAKS-2003, the first aerospace contract signed throughout the MAKS history.
 * The unveiling of the Kliper spacecraft at MAKS-2005.
 * The tribute flight of 4 Su-27s from the Russian Knights to pay tribute to the team's commander, Igor Tkachenko at MAKS-2009, who died in his aircraft after a collision with another Su-27 during a flight training 2 days prior to the opening of the airshow.
 * The unveiling of Sukhoi Su-57 prototype at MAKS-2011.
 * The first inclusion of other foreign aerobatic teams such as the August 1st from China and the Baltic Bees from Latvia at MAKS-2013.
 * The unveiling of a prototype of a fifth-generation lightweight, single-engine, stealth fighter jet Sukhoi Su-75 Checkmate at the MAKS-2021.

Other facts

 * The educational "MAKSyata" club for teenagers was established in 2001, bringing children born in Zhukovskiy in the days of the air show.
 * At MAKS-2009, employees from the Moscow department of the Federal Bailiff Service(FSSP) of the Russian Federation, in coordination with the staff of the Internal Affairs Directorate carried out a raid on debtors hiding among the visitors of the airshow. Bailiffs stationed near the Vereya village of the Ramenskoye village and intercepted debtors, with a poster that read: "Debtor, do you want to experience the feeling of flying?! Pay your debts and fly!". A total of more than 12 million rubles was recovered from debtors.

Accidents

 * The prototype Beriev Be-103 amphibious aircraft crashed on the day before the opening of MAKS-1997. After takeoff at 11:14 local time, at an altitude of about 100 meters, the pilot attempted to stay in his designated flight zone by a steep turn, which unintentionally set the aircraft into a steep climb, causing a stall at a supercritical angle of attack without adequate altitude to recover. The pilot was killed.
 * On August 16, 2009, while preparing for the MAKS-2009, two Sukhoi Su-27s of the Russian Knights aerobatic team crashed into each other, killing the commander of the team and injuring several people on the ground. The death of the pilot was paid tribute to by a minute of silence at the opening of the airshow.

Untitled
Does the number of registered users include alts? --Sephiroth9611 00:19, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes, although players are only allowed to have 2 characters, with a few exceptions, who have three. Not everyone has an alt.

Reorganization and categories
This article could stand a serious reorganization and expansion in some areas, namely some more technical aspects behind the game, such as info about the server and the version of PennMUSH being used. It could also be placed in some more categories than just the one that it is included in now. --Sephiroth9611 13:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Version is PennMush 1.7.1 p13 but there have always been a wide range of modifications to support Elendor's customized code. Hard to say how relevant that is. Dlgoldstein 14:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind though that this is an encyclopedia article not only about game play but the game itself. It's not an advertisement for Elendor's cultures system.  --Sephiroth9611 14:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I can expand this article, but the primary challenges are the verifiability of the information. Pointing back to Elendor's website is the use of self-published material (which may be acceptable in this case), whereas anything I write would be original research (I'm Elendor's founder). Barring screaming objections, I can add some neutral information about the server and the evolution of the game, and cite it back to where it appears on elendor.net. Ejmj (talk) 23:09, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Disclosure
I just wanted to ensure that it was disclosed that I am a former administrator (wizard) at Elendor, although I have not been a regular player there in some time (I spent 2006 entirely without logging in), although I first logged in in 1993. I will try to avoid any POV mistakes and I don't intend to represent the MUSH. Just happened to bump into the entry and wanted to make sure it was reasonably encyclopedic as I do think Elendor has some importance at least in it's niche. --Dlgoldstein 17:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Texe Marrs

Texe William Marrs (July 15, 1944 – November 23, 2019) was an American writer and radio host, who ran two fundamentalist Christian ministries, Power of Prophecy Ministries and Bible Home Church, both based in Austin, Texas. His teachings included elements of antisemitism, anti-Catholicism, Illuminati and Freemasonry conspiracy theories.

He was an officer in the United States Air Force for 20 years, reaching the rank of captain, and a faculty member at the University of Texas.

Media coverage
Marrs received coverage from the news media for his claims that:
 * The Oklahoma City bombing was planned and carried out by the American government, and that the terrorist Timothy McVeigh was framed.
 * Judaism is the most evil satanic cult that ever existed and Jews are conspiring to overtake the whole world through deceit and cultic worship.
 * Hillary Clinton is a doctrinaire Marxist who has recruited other America-hating subversives for key administration posts. Hillary Clinton also has Orwellian political ambitions. According to Marrs: "Bill Clinton is an establishment hack, a member of the traitorous Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers, and Council of Foreign Relations. He and Hillary are deep into Egyptian occultism and Masonic magic."
 * "Newt Gingrich is a closet Marxist and member of the occultic secret society known as the Bohemian Grove."
 * "Bob Dole is a 33rd degree Mason and a fake conservative. He's anti-Jesus Christ."
 * Bill Martin's plans for a Christian naturist resort is evidence that Satan is subverting Christianity.
 * Described as the "conspiracy theorist to end all conspiracy theorists" for his book Codex Magica: Secret Signs, Mysterious Symbols, and Hidden Codes of the Illuminati, which purports to expose a secret conspiracy between politicians and other famous people through modern history.
 * In his book, The Usual Suspects: Answering Anti-Catholic Fundamentalists, Karl Keating debates Marrs's claim that the Pope plans to head a one-world order.

Public behavior
Marrs has been accused of being anti-Catholic. In 1999 he alleged that former United States President George H. W. Bush would be involved in a black mass in a chamber within the Great Pyramid of Giza during the 2000 millennium celebrations. Christian writer Constance Cumbey has accused Marrs of plagiarizing material from her book Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow. She requested her name never be associated with Texe Marrs because of his exaggerations and blatant anti-Semitism.

Texe Marrs has promoted a book, The Greatest Lie on Earth: Proof That Our World is Not a Moving Globe, by Edward Hendrie, which alleges that the planet Earth is immobile and flat.

Newport State Airport (Rhode Island)

Newport State Airport (officially known as the Colonel Robert F. Wood Air Park) is a state-owned public-use airport in Newport County, Rhode Island, United States. It serves the city of Newport and is located 2 nmi northeast of its central business district. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2023–2027, in which it is categorized as a basic general aviation facility. There is no scheduled airline service available, but it once was served by Air New England.

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned UUU by the FAA and NPT by the IATA (which assigned UUU to Manumu, Papua New Guinea).

Newport State Airport is one of six active airports operated by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation, the other five being T.F. Green State Airport, North Central State Airport, Westerly State Airport, Quonset State Airport, and Block Island State Airport.

History
The airport site was known as Southwick's Grove in the mid-to-late 1800s. At the turn of the twentieth century the site was home to Aquidneck Park, a horse racing track. Wealthy summer residents such as Willie K Vanderbilt, John Jacob Astor and I. Townsend Burden would occasionally race automobiles of various types there. The property was renamed Bethshan-in-the-Woods by Mrs. Theodore K. Gibbs, who had purchased it to preserve the property as a picnic ground for children.

Army Air Force Captain Robert F. Wood established the Newport Air Park on the site in 1946. It appears on topographical maps of the area by 1958 with two airstrips—one along the current 4/22 orientation, and a nearly perpendicular one. They were paved by 1953, when the airport received an Air Force contract to maintain planes for keeping local Air Force pilots current.

The airport site was acquired by the state in July 1960, and new construction of the runways and taxiways was completed by September 1967. In July 1964, the first aircraft accident at the Newport airport (a gear-up landing) was documented by the National Transportation Safety Board. The first fatal accident at Newport State Airport was a mid-air collision between two general aviation aircraft on April 23, 1969. In 2011 part of the film Moonrise Kingdom was filmed at the airport.

Facilities and aircraft
Newport State Airport covers an area of 221 acre at an elevation of 172 ft above mean sea level.

It has two runways with asphalt surfaces:

 * Runway 4/22 is 2999 by.
 * Runway 16/34 is 2623 by.

For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2021, the airport had 20,885 aircraft operations, an average of 57 per day: 96% general aviation, 3% air taxi, and <1% military. At that time there were 10 aircraft based at this airport: all single-engine.
