Talk:West Lafayette, Indiana

Education
I'm nost sure why Nowimnthing is uninterested in including all of the schools in W. Lafayette. Clearly they are alocated within the city limits. http://www.city.west-lafayette.in.us/community/education.html

Also, I I've editted the text about the W.Lafayette schools for clarity. It seem unimportant the distinction between those schools. --Ricardisimo 13:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Because the county schools are outside the city limits. They have WL addresses, but so does everything on the North West Side of the County. The taxpayers in that area pay taxes to Tippecanoe County, not WL. The schools are owned and operated by the county not the city of WL. All the county schools are already listed at Tippecanoe County, Indiana, no need to duplicate that list here. What makes the most sense is organizing the schools the same way they are organized by taxes. We would be greatly misleading someone is they saw our article and thought they could move to West Lafayette and have their choice of schools from our list. City and tax boundaries are much more rigid than postal addresses.

 * From your own link Below are other public schools and colleges in the West Lafayette area

 * In that section they even list Ivy Tech which is 10 miles away on the other side of Lafayette. The first section is the important one, the second and third section are for surrounding areas as it says.

 * Here is a map of the WL city limits (in green.) The county schools are not shown, but if you mapquest them you will see that they are all to the West of Purdue University (gold on the map.)

 * Nowimnthing 13:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I see your point about the city versus the county. Good job. Have you found any other ways to add references for the WL page? Ricardisimo 01:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Notable Residents and Natives
I don't agree with the recent inclusion of Purdue Alumni on here. A better list already exists at List of Purdue University people. Their inclusion here might confuse people into thinking they are natives when in fact they spent 4 years or less here. For example Drew Brees is from Texas and Neil Armstrong is from Ohio. If no one objects I will remove them and maybe we can just post a link to the notable Purdue people list from here. Nowimnthing 14:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Lafayette voting against incorporating Chauncey
Can anyone supply the reference to that? I don't have one and somehow it seems strange to me.

I imagine Lafayette in 1871 to have maybe, what, 5 or 10 thousand people including little kids? And Chauncey to have a few thousand. So I would have thought that the people of Chauncey would have gotten assurances of annexation from the people of Lafayette first, before voting to annex and then be embarassed by Lafayette not agreeing to it. And if I were Chauncey and got such a slap in the face by Lafayette, by the time I do incorporate, darn if I'd use the "Lafayette" name. :-) Haonhien 09:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

 * It seems both cities voted at the same time so neither knew what the other would decide beforehand. I added a book source, it also mentions the outcome of the vote, in Chauncy the vote was 48-39 in favor of the annex, in Lafayette it was 441-220 against. Another concern for Lafayette voters was that Purdue would fail as a univeristy and become a white elephant. It also mention only about 25% of eligible voters participated. Nowimnthing 13:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Dubious assertions
I've removed the following from the article:

The West Lafayette adult population has some of the highest levels of educational attainment in Indiana:

 * 96.2 percent have high school degrees or higher (17th highest in the state)
 * 69.7 percent have bachelor's degrees or higher (7th highest in the state)

These figures are also among the highest of any municipality in the United States with over 25,000 population.

If someone can find references, these can be restored. I'm not sure about state-level, but it seems very unlikely that West Lafayette is the most educated city in the country. For one, 79% of residents in Bethesda, Maryland, which has a population over 50,000, have bachelor's degrees. - 71.179.102.236 16:21, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

International Communist Party

The International Communist Party (ICP) is a left communist international political party.

1910
At the Italian Socialist Party's (PSI) Congress of Milan, the Left opposed what they perceived as "reformism" in the leadership of the party and the trade unions. The Left strongly opposed the Italo-Turkish War, in attempting to demonstrate their belief in Proletarian internationalism and organized itself nationally as the Left Communist Faction at the Reggio Emilia Congress of 1912. A similar conflict broke out in the Socialist Youth Federation against alleged "reformists" by the Left. The Left asserted that both the communist party and Young Federation were "organs of struggle". Amadeo Bordiga was a large influence on the party ideologically.

1914–1917
At the time of World War I the Left espoused revolutionary defeatism, a Leninist theory. At the outbreak of the October Revolution, the Left aligned itself with Lenin and his ideology of Leninism, the first sign of what they thought would be an international revolution. “Bolshevism, A Plant for Every Clime”, a piece written by party ideologist Bordiga, favorably spoke of the revolution.

1919
1919 was seen as a "crucial year" by Left Communists due to the German and Hungarian revolutions, which they viewed as being part of a trend of world revolution that the great October socialist revolution began. In Italy, a polemic began between the Left and Antonio Gramsci over the role of soviets in Italy. The Left then started an Abstentionist faction, which was founded in the PSI, due to the Left's views in regards to participation in elections.

1920–1924
At the Second Congress of the Third International, the Left opposed the Third International's structure, preferring an international party, as well as its requirement of democratic centralism. Led by the Left, the Communist Party of Italy was founded in Livorno. After the arrest of Bordiga and many of the party’s leaders in early 1923, the Left was voted out of the leadership. Now led by Gramsci and Togliatti. The new majority within the party successfully opposed the Left and begun to purge their remaining members.

1926–1930
The left faction of the PCd'I was formally established in July 1927 by a number of young militants. The Left supported and briefly affiliated with the Russian opposition until the relations soured due to differences between the Left and Trotsky. In the meanwhile, Bordiga was kicked out of the party for refusing to condemn Trotsky.

1930–1940
With Bordiga under continuous police surveillance and isolated in Naples, the Left voted out of the party, it could only exist as an exile group. In 1938, the left fraction which was organized in several countries at this point formed the International Communist Left.

History
In 1943, the Internationalist Communist Party was founded as Partito Comunista Internazionalista in Italy around Onorato Damen and Bruno Maffi and was soon joined by the international fraction. They opposed the anti fascist partisans that fought the fascist Mussolini regime, leading to accusations of being German agents due to their opposition to anti-fascism. Nevertheless, the party managed to attract a portion of the partisans to their positions.

Partito Comunista Internazionalista formed several federations, the leading ones being in Turin, Milan and Parma. It agitated in factories by forming "Internationalist Communist Factory Groups", advocating for the formation of workers' councils.

In December 1945, Partito Comunista Internazionalista held its first national conference in Turin, now as a larger party. Bordiga was absent from this conference, since he did not become a member of the party until 1949, although he made individual contributions to it. In the congress, the hints about the future split in the Party appeared. Disagreements crystallized with Damen and Stefanini on one hand who were in favor of participation in elections and democratic centralism and the supporters of Bordiga who was for abstentionism and organic centralism.

Partito Comunista Internazionalista kept growing, claiming to possess 13 federations and 72 sections.

Splits broke out in the party regarding achieving socialism through reform, approach to trade unions, and support for national liberation.

In 1952, a majority supported Damen, who rejected any hope of conquering the unions and any support for national liberation, against a Bordiga who still defended the positions of the Communist International on these issues.

In 1952, there were two Partito Comunista Internazionalistas in Italy, both laying claim to Lenin and the Italian communist left. The party led by Bordiga soon started publishing Il Programma Comunista where the majority group held on to Prometeo and Battaglia Comunista.

The party (publishing Il Programma Comunista) took the name International Communist Party soon after the split.

In 1964, a new split gave its birth named as Rivoluzione Comunista (RC) which made its critique of organic centralism and the party's programmatism, proposing to intervene more actively in the class.

Until his death in 1970, Bordiga devoted himself to contributing to the task of reconstructing the theoretical and political basis of the Party. The "Fundamental Theses of the Party" (1951), "Considerations on the Organic Activity of the Party in a Situation which is Generally and Historically Unfavorable" (1965), "Theses on the Historic Duty, the Action and Structure of the World Communist Party" (1965), and "Supplementary Theses" (1966) gave the party its theoretical, political, and organizational structure.

In late 1973 the ICP underwent a serious split, where a group of militants led by the Florence section were expelled and had to reorganize and move forward, publishing Il Partito Comunista. The International Communist Party continues publishing in several languages, including the English paper "The Communist Party" and magazine "Communist Left".

Meanwhile, in 1982, the Il Programma ICP was decimated by further splits within their ranks, particularly in France and Italy. From one of these splits came a number of new organizations under the ICP name, one of which publishes Le Prolétaire in France and Il Comunista in Italy, and another publishes "El Comunista" in Spain.

There have been several tendencies and organizations over the years which have more or less claimed their heritage to International (Italian) Communist Left or directly to the original International Communist Party. Another tendency that claims to carry the legacy of the ICP is a group (expressly not a party) started in 1981 called 'n + 1' which publishes the review under same name and collects their volumes and booklet including articles and more detailed treatments of various subjects in the series "Quaderni Internazionalisti".

On Marxist theory
The International Communist Party holds that the doctrine of the party is founded on the principles of the historical materialism of the critical communism set out by Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto, Capital, and their other fundamental works and which formed the basis of the Communist International constituted in 1919 and of the Italian Communist Party founded at Leghorn in 1921 as a section of the Communist International and was a unitary and invariant body. The class party is accepted as the indispensable organ for the proletarian revolutionary struggle. It has always held that the party must historically get rid, once and for all, of the practice of alliances, even for transitory issues, with the petty bourgeoisie as well as with the pseudo-proletarian and reformist parties.

On tasks
Holding that the Communist Party consists of the most advanced and resolute part of the proletariat, uniting the efforts of the working masses transforming their struggles for group interests and contingent issues into the general struggle for the revolutionary emancipation of the proletariat; the International Communist Party states that the duties of the party are propagating the revolutionary theory among the masses, organizing the material means of action, leading the working class all along its struggle, by securing the historical continuity and the international unity of the movement.

According to the International Communist Party, the party is not made up of all members of the proletariat or even of its majority. It is the organization of the minority which has, collectively, reached and mastered revolutionary tactics in theory and in practice; in other words, which sees clearly the general objectives of the historic movement of the proletariat in the whole world and for the whole of the historical course which separates the period of its formation from that of its final victory. The party is not formed on the basis of individual consciousness; the International Communist Party emphasizes that it is not possible for each worker to become conscious and still less to master the class doctrine in a cultural way, neither is this possible for each militant nor even for the leaders of the Party as individuals. To them, this consciousness lay in the organic unity of the Party. The Party is the organic tissue whose function inside the working class is to carry out its revolutionary task in all its aspects and in its successive phases.

Stressing the importance of the unity of the proletariat, the International Communist Party states that the party should never set up economic associations which exclude those workers who do not accept its principles and leadership. All forms of closed organizations that separate the working class are rejected. The ICP remains resolutely against the participation in the parliamentary elections.

On opportunism
The International Communist Party defines opportunism as a wave of degeneration of proletarian parties. In opposition to opportunism, it rejects the subordination of the party's action to that of political committees of fronts, coalitions or alliances even if this subordination was to restrict itself to public declarations and be compensated by internal instructions to militants or the party and by the subjective intentions of the leaders. It holds that in the West all alliances or proposals of alliances with social democratic or petit-bourgeois parties should be refused at all costs; in other words that there should be no united political front. According to the International Communist Party, what made the parties unable to foresee and face the opportunist danger was a fundamental deviation in principles: the party states that it was neither internal democracy nor free elections which give the Party its nature of being the most conscious fraction of the proletariat and its function of revolutionary guide. It is instead the matter of a deep discrepancy of conceptions about the deterministic organicity of the party as a historical body, living in the reality of the class struggle.

On action
The principal activity today is accepted to be the re-establishment of the theory of Marxist communism by the International Communist Party. The party will bring forward no new theory, but reaffirm the full validity of the fundamental theses of revolutionary Marxism, amply confirmed by facts and falsified and betrayed by opportunism to cover up retreats and defeats. The International Communist Party denounces and defends combating the Stalinists as revisionists and opportunists. Oral and written propaganda are seen as an important party action. The cult of the individual is rejected as a very dangerous aspect of opportunism which should be fought, while the Party retains complete autonomy from all other political groups, parties, formations and fronts.

Il Partito Comunista
Following a major split in 1973, the reorganized International Communist Party, sometimes called Florentine, began publishing their magazine, Il Partito Comunista, soon thereafter. In 1979, it began publication of the theoretical review, Comunismo. Il Partito has sections in Italy, the United States, Canada, France, England, Spain, Germany and Venezuela, and publishes in several languages. The ICP's English periodicals are The Communist Left and The Communist Party.

Il Programma Comunista
Following an important split in 1973, this group continued publishing Il Programma Comunista. The organization underwent crippling splits in 1982. Beside Il Programma Comunista, it now publishes a journal in English (The Internationalist) and a journal in German (Kommunistisches Programm).

Mark Steven Heyman
Hi, from beneath the wing of majestic Mt. Rainier in the state of Washington, USA. I guess you could say I'm a philosopher poet who's been programming computers for 20 years because no one will pay me for my poetry.

My current philosophical and political interests might be said to be a friendly amalgamation of Robert M. Pirsig's Metaphysics of Quality and Noam Chomsky's brand of Libertarian Socialism.

I'm just getting started with Wikipedia, and hope to be able to contribute articles on my literary mentors, the novelist John Weston and poet Henri Coulette. I'm also anxious to review and add to the existing work on the Metaphysics of Quality.

Feel free to contact me using my Talk Page or through email addresses available at my web site InfoPro Consulting Services.

I'm looking forward to having others help me straighten out my facts, and to watch my Ps and Qs. Thanks for stopping by.

Mark died on September 22, 2008.

Dulwich Hill railway station

Dulwich Hill railway station is located on the Bankstown line, serving the Sydney suburb of Dulwich Hill. It is served by Sydney Trains T3 Bankstown line services.

History
Dulwich Hill station opened on 1 February 1895 as Wardell Road when the Bankstown line opened from Sydenham to Belmore. It was renamed Dulwich Hill on 1 July 1920.

To the north of the station, lie two tracks that are part of the Metropolitan Goods line. Opposite the platform lay a triangular junction that connected the Metropolitan Goods line to a branch to Rozelle. This was removed in October 2012 for the conversion of the Rozelle line to light rail.

The station has two platforms in an island platform configuration, the only station on the section running parallel to the goods line not to be converted to side platforms. The station buildings date from 1935.

In October 2023, a new western concourse opened, providing lift access and transfer to the Light rail stop.

Buses
Transit Systems operates one bus route via Dulwich Hill station, under contract to Transport for NSW:
 * 412: Martin Place to Campsie station

Dulwich Hill station is served by one NightRide route:
 * N40: East Hills station to Town Hall station

Light rail
The Inner West Light Rail terminates at the western end of Bedford Crescent, 100 metres from the railway station:
 * Inner West Light Rail: to Central via Leichhardt & Pyrmont

Future
Dulwich Hill will be converted to a Metro station, as part of stage 2 of the Sydney Metro. The metro will significantly increase the frequency of service to 15 trains an hour and shorten the trip to the city by up to 4 minutes. The station is being upgraded with lift access and a new western concourse, which opened in October 2023.

Education and career
Șerban Huidu graduated from the Faculty of General Economics within ASE Bucharest and, until now, he has never worked in this field. Also during college, he realized his passion for the media, working for a radio station in Bucharest where he worked for six months without being paid.

In 1995 Șerban Huidu got a job at a radio station, and in 1997 he started the show Cronica Cârcotașului on Radio 21, a pamphlet addressed to the politicians of that time. In 2000, the show began airing on Prima TV. During the same period, Mihai Găinușă joined Șerban Huidu in making the radio show. In just one year, Mihai Găinușă also became his set partner, so that since 2001 the show Cronica Cârcotașului is transformed into Cronica Cârcotașilor. In 2003 the two filmmakers moved from Radio 21 to Kiss FM.

Talk:List of Native American tribes

Why Does This Exist?
We have: Why did we need this poorly formatted list? -Harmil 16:36, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Classification of indigenous peoples of the Americas
 * List of Native American Tribal Entities
 * List of Alaska Native Tribal Entities

 * Let me be clearer on that. LoNAmTE and LoNAkTE are lists maintained by the US government (we also have lists of state-recognized-only tribes). CoipotA is North and South American tribal classification scheme. Now, I could certainly see adding a list of indigenous or native peoples for other countries, but on the generic, high-level tribal list front, I think we're already set and this page would seem to be either a mistake (not realizing that the work has already been done) or an attempt to make changes that were or would have been reverted in existing articles. Either way, I think this could really use merging, and I'll note as such.

 * PS: Don't forget, we also have Category:Indigenous peoples of the Americas -Harmil 16:52, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Since no answer has been forthcoming, I've redirected all of the alphabetical "sub-pages" to this page. There's still the matter, however, of why this has to exist, rather than expanding on any information that Wikipedia already has. -Harmil 21:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

a question
should not the Lumbee Tribe be listed? It does not have federal recognition, but it does have state recognition. This should at least be addressed. --Elizabeth of North Carolina 03:54, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Tribes?
Only Indians in the US are organized in tribes. Most of the ethnic groups on the list are exactly that: ethnic groups, first nations, indigenous peoples etc. Tribes is not a word to use with native americans outside of the US.--Maunus 20:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion
It would be great if the list would include the state of residence or location information of each tribe/group.--Zereshk 01:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tafsir Qudsi

Which translation did you take those verses from ? Also, can you give an external link to the translation from which the verses are taken ? The Yusuf Ali translation (most standard in English) gives a totally different meaning:

'Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire. It is no less than inspiration sent down to him'. (Qur'an 53: 3-4)

i.e. nothing about 'everything he says is a revelation'. The point of the verses (if you actually consider the context in which the verses are taken) is that Muhammad is not making up these verses, but that they are divineely revealed. Therefore I think it is better to remove that sentence (+ verses) as it's misleading and (after the standard translation is considered) actually irrelevant. ---Mpatel (talk) 16:37, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

They do not want to invest anymore and I do not see a future together. I'm waiting for offers now. For now, I'm in talks with a radio, but I'm waiting for offers. I'm not rushing to throw myself away, that's not the case with my experience. I want to play in the big league too, I'm tired of the small league."

A very good and compherensive article. --Member 16:38, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Has no picture, a long article, but not worthy of being a featured article IMO. Howabout1 Talk to me! 23:32, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Articles need not have a picture to be featured. That objection is thus invalid and your vague "not worthy" is inactionable... 119 19:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll be more clear. It is mostly a synopsis, very little production content. I don't think it is best to show the world this article as what wikipedia strives for. Howabout1 Talk to me! 22:27, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * But when the subject of the article is a television show, there is little reason not to include a screenshot or two. The relaxation of the requirement is intended for articles where an example image would be difficult to obtain or create, even when you take fair use into consideration. slambo 19:25, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Object 1) There are no images. 2) Cite your sources. 3) The lead section is too short for an article of this length; it does not adequately encapsulate the entire article. 4) Too much of the article is devoted to episode synopses while not enough is discussed about the program's development and production. 5) There is some discussion about what influenced this show, but I don't see anything on the show's perception in or influence on modern culture (compare this article to other featured articles about television shows such as Blackadder or Dawson's Creek). slambo 19:13, August 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * Object. Cannot be both stable and comprehensive. The listing of (vocal) credits should correspond to the list of significant characters, as much as possible.  And I do not believe that any article about an animated work can be viewed as satisfactory if it does not identify and discuss the animators at an appropriate length.

Songo River Queen II

The Songo River Queen II is a diesel-powered stern paddle-wheeler, built as a replica of the steam-powered vessels that traveled the Mississippi River and can hold up to 300 people. The paddlewheeler is known for becoming landlocked in Long Lake in September 2011, after a 20-year career on the Songo River, due to the construction of a fixed bridge on Naples Causeway.

History
The Songo River Queen II, which was christened on Memorial Day weekend of 1982, is the successor to the Songo River Queen, which burned in a midnight fire on Columbus Day weekend in 1981. The current vessel is located at the Route 302 Causeway in Naples, Maine.

Both the original Songo River Queen and the Songo River Queen II were built by Frank C. Gerrish Jr. The Queen has been an annual summer attraction on the Naples Causeway since 1970, making daily excursions on Long Lake as well as through the swing bridge onto Brandy Pond and through the twists and turns of the Songo River into the hand-operated Songo Locks.

Jason (cartoonist)

John Arne Sæterøy (born 16 May 1965), better known by the pen name Jason, is a Norwegian cartoonist, known for his sparse drawing style and silent, anthropomorphic animal characters.

He was nominated for two Ignatz Awards (2000: Outstanding Story and Outstanding Series, 2001: Outstanding Story and Outstanding Series), received praise in Time, and won the Harvey Award for best new talent in 2002, as well as several Eisner Awards.

Biography
Jason was born in Molde, and had his work published for the first time in 1981 in the Norwegian comics magazine KonK, to which he contributed several short stories during its lifespan. In 1989, he was admitted to Norway's National Academy of the Arts, where he studied graphic design and illustration. He won the Norwegian Comics Association award in 1991 for the short work pervo.

In 1995, Jason published his first graphic novel, Lomma full av regn (Pocket Full of Rain), for which he won the Sproing Award. In 1997, he started making Mjau Mjau, a semi-regular comic book featuring nothing but his own works. In 2001, he was once again awarded a Sproing, this time for Mjau Mjau 10. Since 2002, Jason has concentrated on making graphic novels.

Jason has lived in Denmark, Belgium, the U.S., and France. Since 2007, Jason has been living in Montpellier, and his recent graphic novels have been initially published in French.

As Jason's exposure has increased, his comics have been published outside of Norway, in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, and the U.S. His American publisher is Fantagraphics.

Style
Jason's work is usually drawn in a minimalist, clean style, influenced by Hergé's ligne claire. His protagonists are usually anthropomorphic animals and/or B-movie monsters. There is little or no talking, and very rarely any captions.

Jason's comics frequently refer to other works. For example, Tell Me Something is inspired by Buster Keaton's movies, Frankenstein's Monster and related characters appear in You Can't Get There From Here, and fictionalized versions of Ernest Hemingway and other writers are the protagonists of The Left Bank Gang.

Awards

 * 1995: Sproing Award, for Lomma full av regn
 * 2000: Sproing Award, for Mjau Mjau 10: Si meg en ting
 * 2000: Urhunden Prize for best translated graphic novel, for Vänta lite...

Marrickville railway station

Marrickville railway station is located on the Bankstown railway line, serving the Sydney suburb of Marrickville. It is served by Sydney Trains T3 Bankstown line services. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

History
Marrickville station opened on 1 February 1895 when the Bankstown line opened from Sydenham to Belmore.

When the station opened, it consisted only of the island platform. In 1916, the station's platforms were reconstructed with a new platform, now platform 2, built to the south of the island platform and the northern side of the island platform closed to make way for the Metropolitan Goods Line. The station has retained this set-up to date.

The line through the station was electrified in 1926. The booking office on Platform 2 underwent alterations in 1944.

New stairs down from Illawarra Road were built in 1985.

In June 2016, an upgrade was completed with lifts and a new concourse built. During this work, the stairs to platform 1 were closed and replaced with a temporary footbridge from platform 2. Both platforms can be accessed from New Illawara Rd via the new concourse. Even though a concourse was built, the station remains ungated.

Platforms and services
Marrickville is a fairly major station on the Bankstown line. All trains make a stop at Marrickville, except for eastbound during the morning peak, when two trains per hour skip Marrickville. There will also occasionally be other services that don't stop, such as empty trains, or diverted services during trackwork.

Transport links
Transit Systems operates two bus routes via Marrickvile station, under contract to Transport for NSW:
 * 423: Martin Place to Kingsgrove Bus Depot
 * 423X: Martin Place to Kingsgrove Bus Depot

Marrickville station is served by one NightRide route:
 * N40: East Hills station to Town Hall station

Description
The Marrickville station complex consists of two station buildings: the Platform 1 building (1895) and Platform 2 building (1911), with associated platforms built at the same time, along with a booking office on Platform 2 (1917). It also includes two sets of pedestrian steps: a northern set (1917) and a southern set (mid-1980s), along with an overbridge on Illawarra Road (1911).

Marrickville railway station consists of one wayside platform to the south and an island platform to the north. Passenger rail only uses the south side of the island platform, with the Metropolitan Goods Line running on the north. The station buildings are original, as is the booking office at the western end of Platform 2. The station is accessed via stairs or lifts to both platforms from the concourse, or at a level entry onto Platform 2 from Station St. Illawarra Road is a major commercial shopping strip.

 * Platform building – Platform 1 (1895)

The Platform 1 building is a rectangular polychromatic face brick building with gabled roof and surrounding cantilevered awning clad in corrugated roof sheeting. The exterior was restored to original condition during upgrades in 2016. It contains a number of rooms, such as a ticket office, waiting rooms and toilets. The ticket office is no longer in use, as all paper tickets have been phased out on the Sydney Trains network in favour of smartcard ticketing (Opal card). All other rooms, except the toilets, are also locked off and not accessible to the public.

 * Platform building – Platform 2 (1911)

The Platform 2 building is a rectangular face brick building with gabled roof and integral shallower sloped single cantilevered awning. Internally, the building comprises a general waiting room; ladies room and ladies toilets, a store and men's toilets. As with the building on Platform 1, the exterior was restored during the 2016 upgrades. The whole building is closed to the public, mostly used as a storeroom.

The original timber framed overhead booking office dating from 1895 was demolished and the existing timber framed booking office located on Platform 2 built in 1917–18. The building is a simple, rectangular weatherboard clad timber-framed structure, with a gable roof clad in corrugated steel which extends as an awning with exposed rafters on the platform side. The building is currently used as a storeroom.
 * Booking office (1917)

Platform 1 has an asphalt surface with the original brick face and edge. The northern side of this platform (not used and fenced off) has a brick edge with the original brick face. Platform 2 also has its original brick face but with a concrete edge. Both platforms are approximately 160 metres long, enough to fit an 8 carriage suburban train. Both platforms are slightly curved and are equipped with LCD screens displaying next trains, together with automated announcements. Due to the lack of shelter at the eastern end of both platforms, there are no screens at this end. There are two small waiting shelters around the middle of platform 1, to encourage waiting passengers to spread out when it is raining, as all the station buildings are at the western end of the platform.
 * Platforms

 * Overbridge (1911)

Steel girders and a concrete slab supported on central brick piers and side brick abutments. The original access stairs from the overbridge to Platform 1 had the original steel stringers but had new concrete treads and a new steel balustrade. The later stairs on the south were constructed from steel stringers supported on steel columns and with precast concrete treads. Both of these stairs were removed and replaced by the concourse during the 2016 upgrades.

Heritage listing
The railway station at Marrickville is significant as it is a station on the Sydenham to Bankstown Line which was constructed to relieve congestion on the Main South Line as well as to encourage suburban development and the growth of agriculture in the late 19th and early 20th century. The highly intact main platform building represents the period of transition from the boom time of the 1880s to the standardisation of NSW railway building design from the 1890s onwards, while the booking office on Platform 2 reflects a later period of expansion in the first quarter of the 20th century.

Marrickville Railway Station is significant at a State level as the platform building demonstrates the high level of aesthetic design of the pre-1900 standard buildings, which included the use of polychromatic brickwork, decorative dentil coursing, ornate awning brackets and carved bargeboards. The platform building is intact and is representative of a small group of such ornate platform buildings including Canterbury and Belmore on the Bankstown Line. The platform building on Platform 2 provides an interesting contrast, demonstrating the simpler design of the standard platform buildings of the 1910/20s.

Also of significance is the intactness of the weatherboard booking office which is unusual for being one of the few examples of a booking office located on a platform with street entry only and no access from the footbridge or overbridge, though the structure itself is representative of a standard design.

Marrickville railway station was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.

 * The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales
 * The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales
 * The place has strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons
 * The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales
 * The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales
 * The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales

Talk:Communist Party of Indonesia

Untitled
EXCUSE ME, I want to about the role of the Santosa Family during the 1965 coup in Indonesia, if any. I heard from someone that the people at the helm of the Salem Group's affair were involved in that Coup. I may be wrong, or right. But, I sincerely want to know about that for my ownself only. I would be glad in anybody can through some ligt on that.

Division in two periods
It feels a bit weird to divide the history of PKI in two periods. Is there anything to suggest that PKI disbanded at the orders of the Dutch? As I understand it it continued working, although in a clandestine manner. Similarily PKI doesn't end 1965. It maintained a party apparatus at least til the beginning of 1990's. --Soman 18:37, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I think it's reasonable to divide the PKI's history into two parts. It had two periods where it had major popular support, and was hugely influential in Indonesian politics - the 1920s and the 1950s-60s. I think it's reasonable to emphasize these periods. The PKI didn't just disband on orders of the Dutch in the 1920s - much of its leadership was forcibly exiled from the Dutch East Indies, or forced to leave to escape imprisonment, and had little interaction with people still there. It was pretty much wiped out, in my understanding. In between, a smaller group may have continued working, but I haven't seen much written about that era - I'd like to know about it. Several sources I've read, though (recently, Helen Jarvis's notes to From Jail to Jail), do describe the PKI's history in terms of two separate periods. Regarding the post-1965 PKI, the article should mention what was left of it, and what it did within the context of Suharto's violently anti-Communist regime, but I don't know anything about that.
 * Maybe the solution is to remove the specific years that I put in the headers, and maybe rename the sections? Then it wouldn't imply that it didn't exist at all outside of those years, while still highlighting the years during which it was most influential? Maybe rename the sections? How about "Creation of the PKI" and "Post-war resurgence"? CDC   (talk)  22:24, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

The post 65 conditions for anyone with any connections with anyone known to be involved with any left leaning organisations were close to disastrous, for a long time. It was not necessarily pki membership either, so perhaps it would be more appropriate to have a heading/article relative to suharto's terror methods during his regime, rather than a history of the pki. close to the ground in java in the 1950's you only have to look at the fate of the darul islam members, ex pki people in the 60's, to get a sense of the difficulties in distinctions...User:SatuSuro 08:26, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Tan Malaka peer review
I've put the article Tan Malaka, which I wrote a while back, up on peer review, here. I'd be interested in comments or suggestions on it, either on the peer review page or on the talk page. I'm still working on more images - ideas welcome.

It also wouldn't hurt to make sure he's properly described on this page. His relationship with the PKI was odd; he's often associated with it by historians, but he was only briefly (~3 months) the chairman, and didn't get along with most of the party's other leadership very well at all, as far as I can tell. He did write a lot about communism in Indonesia, and served (sometimes rather informally) as a PKI representative in the Netherlands, Russia, and China. Anyway, I'll work on that at some point if someone else doesn't first. CDC (talk) 23:49, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

size of membership?
''Growth of the Indonesian Communist Party

''Between 1960 and 1965, the PKI and its allied peasant organisations began to carry out a program of land seizures in order to make landlords comply with existing laws. These actions resulted in violent responses by landlords, and fights between security forces and peasants. Mass mobilisations began to increase very rapidly, with large protests in the main cities and a growing number of smaller protests in other towns and villages. The party also took up the cause of plantation and industrial workers in North Sumatra, and of Javanese migrants in North and South Sumatra. It supported Hindus against East Javanese orthodox Muslims who were members of the local elite, as well as opponents of Hindu priestly authority in Bali. All this grassroots activity contributed to a major increase in the membership of the PKI and the left wing of the PNI. By 1965, the PKI had three million members and was said to be the largest communist party in the world outside the Soviet Union and China. In addition to its vast membership, more than 15 million people had indirect connections to it through their membership of the peasant associations, labour unions and other affiliates.'' - source - http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?ItemID=8944

Post War Resurgence
Uggh...this section needs to be reworded so it is all in past tense. Looks like a dodgy copy/paste job at the moment. Too busy to do it myself.

Not only that it's actually biased, and while I admit, the bias goes both right and left, somewhere in the middle lies the objective truth. Maybe you should consider that the PKI also attacked right-wing units in an attempt to control the post-war govt of Indonesia, almost handing the Dutch a victory with vicious infighting. 202.169.60.66 (talk) 07:01, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Lede contradicts with the rest of the article
The Lede says "The PKI was a legal party made up of unarmed civilians operating openly in Indonesia’s political system", however the text of the article describes a number of instances in which PKI members took up arms, most notably in their incursions into Malaysia during the Konfrontasi. Additionally the article also describes the PKI leadership going underground for part of the immediate post-independence period. Finally, the PKI clearly wasn't legal after it was banned, or before Indonesian independence. Looking at the reference used to support this statement it is clearly referring to the author's view of the status of the PKI in 1965, and I'm not sure this should be stated as fact in the voice of Wiki.

Dhoom 2

Dhoom 2, also known as Dhoom 2: Back in Action, is a 2006 Indian caper action film directed by Sanjay Gadhvi and written by Vijay Krishna Acharya, based on a story by Aditya Chopra, who produced the film under Yash Raj Films. It stars Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu and Uday Chopra. The film is a sequel to Dhoom (2004) and thus the second installment of Dhoom trilogy.

Dhoom 2 was shot primarily in India, Durban and Rio de Janeiro, becoming the first major Hindi film to be shot in Brazil. Dhoom 2 was released on 24 November 2006 to positive reviews from critics with praise for its action sequences, soundtrack, cinematography and cast performances (particularly Roshan), but criticised its pace and script. The film grossed over ₹1.514 billion and became the highest grossing Hindi film of 2006. It was also the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time at the time of its release and the seventh highest-grossing Bollywood film in overseas markets. The film also went on to become the twelfth-highest-grossing Hindi film to date, and the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time as well at the time of its release until it was surpassed by Om Shanti Om.

At the 52nd Filmfare Awards, Dhoom 2 received 8 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (Gadhvi) and Best Actress (Rai), and won Best Actor (Roshan). The film also marks the second collaboration between Roshan and Bachchan after Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, and the fourth collaboration between Bachchan and Rai after Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke, Kuch Naa Kaho and Umrao Jaan.

Dhoom 2 also proved to be controversial post release, as there was an appeal by the Mumbai city police commissioner to censor the fast-paced rash driving scenes due to fears that it would inspire Indian youths to ride their motorcycles rashly, resulting in an increase in the number of road accidents. A sequel titled Dhoom 3 was released on 20 December 2013. Abhishek Bachchan has since named Dhoom 2 as his favorite film in the series.

Plot
In the Namib Desert. Mr. A skydives onto a train that is carrying Queen Elizabeth II, where he steals her crown by disguising himself as the Queen, beats her guards easily and escapes. ACP Jai Dixit and the newly promoted SI Ali Akbar Khan are introduced to Shonali Bose, Jai's best friend and a special officer assigned to investigate Mr. A's case. After the initial investigation, Jai analyses the underlying trend in Mr. A's heists and concludes that the theft will follow in one of two famous Mumbai city museums. When Jai realizes that the artifact in the museum he is guarding happens to be imperfect, he rushes to the other museum, where a disguised Mr. A steals a rare diamond and escapes.

Mr. A is about to catch a flight, but he sees on the TV that someone else is claiming to be himself. The imposter challenges the cops by saying that they will steal an ancient warrior sword. In response, Jai, Shonali and Khan enforce a strict guard at the location of the sword. At night, Mr. A meets the thief who made the claim on TV in the room that holds the sword. The police are alerted, but they manage to steal the sword. Shonali is injured in the confrontation and they manage to escape. The impersonator turns out to be Sunehri, a woman who idolises Mr. A; she wants to form an alliance with Mr. A, but he turns her down. After a game of basketball between the two, Mr. A finally agrees to work together.

In Rio de Janeiro, Mr. A and Sunehri plan their next heist. As Jai's analysis has named Rio the location of Mr. A's next heist, he and Ali travel there. They meet Monali, Shonali's twin sister, who only speaks English, and Ali immediately falls for her. Later, Sunehri meets with Jai to discuss her partnership with Mr. A, revealing that they are working together and Jai has promised Sunehri freedom from prison in exchange. The plan is for Sunehri to get close to Mr. A and find out what his next plan is so the police can catch and arrest him, but she begins to have her doubts. Mr. A and Sunehri fall in love with each other, and he unveils his real identity, Aryan Singh, to her. However, during the Rio Carnival, disguised as one of the entertainers, Aryan sees Sunehri and Jai together and realizes that Sunehri has been working undercover for Jai.

The next day, Aryan forces Sunehri to play a game of Russian roulette, though she doesn't want to shoot him. After six attempted shots, neither is killed, because Aryan never loaded the gun. Sunehri admits she betrayed Aryan and confesses her love for him. In their final heist, Aryan and Sunehri successfully steal some early Lydian coins while disguised as performing dwarfs. With the heist successfully pulled off, Jai realises that he has been betrayed, as Sunehri called him on the phone to reveal that she wants to stay with Aryan and breaks off their deal, forcing Jai and Ali to go after the pair. After the chase, all of them end up on the top of a waterfall, where Ali catches Sunehri. Sunehri, despite conveying her feelings for Aryan, shoots him. Aryan falls from the waterfall, after which Jai allows Sunehri to go free.

Six months later, it is revealed that Aryan survived and has opened a restaurant in the Fiji islands with Sunehri. Jai meets Aryan and Sunehri at the restaurant and states that despite their crimes, he does not wish to imprison the couple. Aryan tells him where all the stolen artifacts can be found via a digital watch. Jai is aware of the couple's feelings towards each other and releases them with a warning against returning to their life of crime. After leaving, Jai receives a phone call, and informs Ali that they should be heading back to India for their next case.

Development
The Dhoom franchise began with the release of Dhoom in 2004. The film became a commercial box office hit and received positive reviews from audiences, but mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. As a result, producer Yash Chopra announced plans for a sequel, titled Dhoom 2 – Back in Action. John Abraham, portrayer of Kabir Sharma, the villain of the predecessor, was eliminated from the sequel because Chopra did not want Dhoom 2 to repeat the stories featured in its predecessor. Instead, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai were introduced into the franchise as the sequel's main villains. Rai's character was summarized as Catwoman, a female fictional comic book femme fatale or anti-hero. Rai stated, "All I can tell you is it would be nothing like anything you've seen me do before." Producer Aditya Chopra told Rai to lose weight after she gained it for her role in Bride & Prejudice (2004). Yash Chopra stated, "But yes, the role does require Rai to convey oodles of sensuality. She has asked for a couple of months to get into shape. We (at Yash Raj Films) are very clear about every character in every script and what's required of the actors. Before Dhoom, Esha Deol was specifically briefed about the look and the attitude she needed to cultivate. She readily agreed, and look at what Dhoom did to her career!" Roshan also lost 5 kg for his role at Aditya Chopra's request. With the exception of Abraham and Deol, all of the other main actors in Dhoom reprised their roles for Dhoom 2.

Filming
Dhoom 2 was filmed in Mumbai (India), Namibia, Durban (South Africa), and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), making it the first Bollywood movie to be shot in Brazil. In total, production lasted 18 months and cost of ₹350 million. To ensure the sequel would be different from the original, which became famous for its brash motorcycle stunts, director Sanjay Gadhvi included very few motorcycles in Dhoom 2. Nonetheless, Roshan's role required him to perform several dangerous stunts involving activities such as roller-blading, sand boarding and snow-boarding.

Dhoom 2 made extensive use of visual effects, which were filmed at Yash Raj Studios. While shooting at Yash Raj Studios, the film suffered from a flood that destroyed the studio sets and delayed production. Fight and action sequences were storyboarded before being shown to Gadhvi and Allan Amin, who would make changes. The scenes were then sketched, given "proper shot-list[s]", and shared with Tata Elxsi, who oversaw the pre-visualization of the sequences. Several scenes were filmed with the use of green screen and computer-generated imagery. For example, the stunts Roshan performed on a train in the Namib Desert used green screen; after Roshan recorded the stunts on a set, Gadhvi traveled to the desert to film the background. Other stunts were performed by stuntmen whose faces were later digitally exchanged with the actors'.

The bullet effects and Roshan's gadgets and the mechanical arm were also computer-generated. The scene involving Bachchan coming out of a lake using a jet ski was created using a green screen. The stunt came out at 90 degrees, but Gadhvi wanted a 60 degrees jump. So, it was shot with a Super 35, and hence the angle could be changed. Gadhvi discussed the use of technology in an interview: "We've done animation and pre-visualization for all the action sequences in Dhoom 2 and that is very important in terms of planning, cost effectiveness and also it's a new way of preparing for the shoot and the film especially which is as set on such a large canvas such as Dhoom 2. In Dhoom, we had all the action sequences broken down and written. In this movie, we had very big action sequences, so we had all the scenes storyboarded, and they would be checked, double checked and triple checked by myself, Alan Amin, and Adi, and we would then rectify if needed, and that would be our level of planning."

Music
The soundtrack of Dhoom 2 was recorded at YRF Studios. The music was composed by Pritam Chakraborty with background score by Salim–Sulaiman. The lyrics were penned by Sameer except "Dhoom Again" by Asif Ali Beg and "Crazy Kiya Re — Remix" was remixed by Bunty Rajput. Although most of the song's lyrics are primarily written in Hindi with some English, "Dhoom Again" is almost entirely in English. The soundtrack received mixed reviews from critics but high praise from the audience. It became the best-selling Bollywood soundtrack of the year. The film's soundtrack is the first in Indian cinema to be released in DVD-Audio in addition to other audio formats. The tracks have been mixed in London in 5.1 Surround Sound.

Release
Dhoom 2 was released on 24 November 2006 in India, where it received the widest release in Indian cinema history at the time with over 1800 prints, including 250 digital copies. Some locations raised ticket prices for the film. It was simultaneously dubbed and released in Tamil and Telugu languages. Singer Vijay Prakash dubbed for Abhishek Bachchan in Tamil.

Marketing
Dhoom 2's teaser trailer was released along with Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, which released on 11 August 2006.

It was promoted with several tie-ins. Coca-Cola promoted the film as "Coke Uthale, Dhoom Machale". India's video game producing company FXLabs developed two games based on the film: Dhoom 2 (2007) and Dhoom 2.5 (2008). Pepe Jeans sold Dhoom 2-related garments, including shirts, jeans, bandannas, caps, and metal accessories. Chetan Shah, the country head of Pepe Jeans London, stated – "Pepe Jeans is tremendously excited to be associated with the most awaited movie of the year Dhoom:2. The incredible ensemble cast of Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu and Uday Chopra and the exciting and explosive content of the film encapsulates everything that the Pepe Jeans brand stands for - young, cool, trendy, hip, fashionable and innovative. While promoting Dhoom 2, Roshan admitted feeling foolish over his past statements about his co-star Rai being a "pretty face with no talent" after they worked together for the first time in Dhoom 2. The duo were again cast opposite each other in Jodhaa Akbar (2008) and Guzaarish (2010), and thus went on to become one of the most-loved on-screen pairs of Bollywood.

Legal issues
The city of Mumbai's police commissioner called for censoring of the fast-paced rash driving scenes in the film due to fears that it would inspire Indian youths to ride their motorcycles rashly, resulting in an increase in the number of road accidents. Unlike the original, the robberies depicted in Dhoom 2 were not inspired by any real-life crimes. Dhoom 2, allegedly inspired the robbery of a man by his nephew, who wore clothing similar to Hrithik's in the film while committing the crime.

Additionally, following the release, actress Aishwarya Rai received legal notices from several viewers and fans for a kissing scene with fellow co-star Hritik Roshan.

Box office
In India, Dhoom 2 broke several box-office records, mainly those for opening day and opening weekend grosses, including a first week of ₹66 million in Mumbai and ₹179 million for all of India. In Mumbai, distributors received a profit of ₹94 million on the first week's business. Box Office India awarded it a "blockbuster" rating after the film netted ₹803 million in India and grossed ₹1.5 billion worldwide on a budget of ₹350 million. It is currently the 13th highest-grossing film in India (unadjusted for inflation).

Dhoom 2 grossed US$979,000 in North America in 63 theatres over its three-day opening weekend ($1.3 million over four days), becoming the third largest opening weekend for a Bollywood film in North America. Overall, it was the seventeenth ranked film at the American box office. Box Office Mojo reports it earned a total of $2,643,586 inside the United States and a total of $29,752,841 in other countries, including India. In Dubai, it achieved the highest first day opening for a Bollywood film.

Dhoom 2 ranked sixth among the highest-grossing opening weekends for international films at the United Kingdom box office with a gross (average per screen) of £8,151. At the Australian box office, it had the twelfth highest opening and collected approximately A$176,462. It grossed approximately NZ $51,453 on five screens in New Zealand. Dhoom 2 grossed over US$8,750,000 total in the overseas markets.

India
In India, the film received positive reviews from critics. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave 4.5 out of 5 stars, reporting "On the whole, Dhoom 2 is a winner all the way. For Yash Raj Films, who've not only produced but also distributed the film, Dhoom 2 should emerge as one of the biggest hits of their career." Rajesh Karkera of Rediff gave it 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it "A complete roller-coaster ride which left me completely enthralled and exhausted. Sure, there are faults when you stop to think rationally. But that does not stop you from being dazzled by the film." Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave it a 3 star rating, saying that Dhoom 2 is without doubt better than its predecessor, and that Roshan is the heart and soul of the film. Vijay Venkataramanan of Planet Bollywood gave it 7 out of 10 stars; despite having criticized the film's plot and Rai's performance, he still called it a good adrenaline-pumping entertainer.

International
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported 93% of 14 critics were positive and gave it a "fresh" certificate. Variety commented, "Loaded with enough attitude, Bollywood star-power and buff bodies to stop a speeding train, Dhoom 2 has been doing humongous biz since its 24 November worldwide opening, and provides adequate proof that Yash Raj Films is good for more than just family-oriented romantic comedy-dramas."

Rachel Saltz of The New York Times reviewed, "The pleasure principle is palpable in the giddy, slick Dhoom 2, a satisfying example of the new, thoroughly modern Bollywood. It may represent the new-fangled Bollywood, but old-fashioned star power is what animates and elevates it above its occasional narrative flaws and longueurs." Film Journal International's Ethan Alter said, "Dhoom 2 has all of the benefits of a big-budget Bollywood production – big-name stars, exotic locales, well-produced musical numbers and elaborate (by Bollywood standards, anyway) action sequences. It makes no lasting contributions to world cinema, but if 2.5 hours of disposable entertainment are all you're after, you could do far worse." L.A. Weekly's David Chute stated the film was, "A movie meal as satisfying as this one can make you feel that nothing else matters." Jaspreet Pandohar of the BBC gave it a 2-star rating, writing "By roping in acclaimed action director Alan Amin to take care of the thrills and spills, you'd expect Gadhvi to have spent time crafting out a sophisticated storyline instead of simply sending his cast on a cat-and-mouse chase around the globe. It's only Roshan's charismatic performance as the criminal mastermind, and the sizzling chemistry he shares with Rai's sassy cohort, that rescues this adventure from becoming an elongated tourism commercial." Manish Gajjar, Bollywood correspondent for BBC Shropshire said, "With its high-powered action sequences matching Hollywood standards, Dhoom 2 is a winner all the way at the box office!"

Accolades
Dhoom 2 was nominated for several awards that year, but only picked up a few of the major ones. At the 52nd Filmfare Awards, Roshan won Best Actor, out of 8 total nominations for the film. At the 8th IIFA Awards, the film won for Best Costume Design and Best Makeup. At the 2007 Stardust Awards, Rai won Star of the Year – Female and Gadhvi won the Hottest Young Filmmaker.

The article states:

"Most of the newer generation have English Christian names because most Filipinos never speak Spanish. Almost all Filipinos speak English as it is required to do business, and the vast majority of advertising is in English."

Very few Filipinos have English names. *Incorrect; the majority have English Christian names (i.e. John instead of Juan)*

English is never used in business here. *Incorrect; while Filipino (Tagalog) is as if not more common than English, they are both national languages. Without a doubt a non English speaker will have troubles in most business arenas in the Philippines*

Only a few Filipinos can speak minimal bad English in Manila...   *Incorrect, and colored by an amazing degree of that writers personal experience. The level here is much higher than most Asian countries, in every regard*  *  -REPLIES BY Coloradochipchilders (talk) 01:36, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Indigenous surnames
Looks like the section about indigenous surnames have been deleted. While keeping a short list of such surnames (with their possible definitions) can be better than removing them as indiscriminate, why not explain provide an explanation of their origin and common orthography? Native surnames form also most Filipino surnames, and why not improve it instead of removing It? It will be all right to restore them, but with a shorter list and explanation of their origins. Pinging. TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 13:13, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

 * It can be likely that there are possible sources, like books or any other RS, but I cannot have such access to those, plus, the majority of sources on Web searches fall on self-published sources, like blogs or personal websites. While there is a reliable source for popular given names in the Philippines, such as data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (2005 data), it will be difficult to find RS regarding surnames, unless one goes to a library or do a in-depth research on the Web. -TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 04:05, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

G. W. Foote

George William Foote (11 January 1850 – 17 October 1915) was an English radical journalist, writer, editor, publisher, and prominent secularist. He was a leading advocate of freethought, founding and editing notable publications such as The Freethinker and The Secularist and co-founding the British Secular Union. Additionally, he ran a publishing business known as the Pioneer Press. Foote was convicted of blasphemy in 1883 for his satirical attacks on Christianity published in The Freethinker and sentenced to a year in prison. He authored over eighty works, mainly polemical pamphlets, with his editorial essays from The Freethinker compiled into Flowers of Freethought (1893–94).

Early life
George William Foot was born in Plymouth on 11 January 1850, the son of William Thomas Foot (a customs officer) and Ann (née Winzar). His father died when Foote was four years old and he was raised by his mother to be Anglican, but became a Unitarian at the age of 15.

Career
In January 1868, Foote moved to London to work in a West End library, soon engaging in radical freethought. He founded a secular Sunday school and the Young Men's Secular Association at the Old Street Hall of Science in 1869, and began contributing to Charles Bradlaugh's National Reformer in 1870. He also served as secretary of the London Republican Club (1870) and the National Republican League (1871). In 1876, he opposed Bradlaugh's control over the secularist movement by starting his own paper, The Secularist, and in 1877, with G. J. Holyoake and Charles Watts, formed the British Secular Union.

Bradlaugh's exclusion from the House of Commons in 1880 prompted Foote to return to mainstream secularism. In May 1881, he launched The Freethinker, which featured satirical attacks on Christianity and infamous cartoons, leading to two prosecutions for blasphemy.

Foote was tried at the Old Bailey in March 1883, alongside William Ramsay, a shop manager, and William Kemp, a printer. He defended himself in court, arguing his crime was making blasphemy accessible to the working class while elite agnostics such as T. H. Huxley and Aubrey Beardsley faced no consequences. Foote received a 12-month sentence in Holloway prison, while Ramsey was given nine months and Kemp three months. However, an earlier charge heard before Lord Chief Justice Coleridge resulted in a divided jury. After serving his sentence, Foote, who was now a national figure, received a hero's welcome on release.

As Bradlaugh became more involved in parliament, Foote emerged as a key secularist leader during a period of declining popularity for the movement. He founded the London Secular Federation in 1888 and succeeded Bradlaugh as president of the National Secular Society (NSS) in 1890. Foote's succession marked a shift from direct parliamentary agitation to pressure group politics, focusing on humanitarian reforms and freethought issues. Under Foote, the NSS expanded its objectives to include "an extension of the moral law to animals, so as to secure them humane treatment and legal protection against cruelty". This led to cooperation between the NSS and the radical fringe of the animal defence movement, with Foote particularly supporting the Humanitarian League, led by Henry S. Salt.

A leading member of the Metropolitan Radical Federation, he championed free expression, opposed socialism, and grew disillusioned with what he saw as democratic mediocrity. In 1887, he debated socialism with Annie Besant. His defence of liberalism alienated many supporters who turned to socialism, leading to financial difficulties, conflicts with other leaders, and bankruptcy from 1901 to 1905. Despite these challenges, Foote played a significant role in sustaining secularist radicalism into the twentieth century.

Foote ran a publishing business from 1882, known later as the Pioneer Press, and edited The Freethinker until his death, along with other publications such as the Secularist, Liberal, Progress, Radical Leader, and Pioneer. He authored over eighty works, mainly polemical pamphlets, and his weekly editorial essays in The Freethinker were compiled as Flowers of Freethought (1893–4).

Later life and death
In his later years, Foote suffered from bronchitis, leading the family to move from London to Westcliff-on-Sea in 1903. He died at his home at 39 Meteor Road on 17 October 1915 and was cremated at the City of London Crematorium in Ilford on 21 October. His death was related by Chapman Cohen in The Freethinker (31 October 1915):

"When I saw him on the Friday (two days) before his death he said, 'I have had another setback, but I am a curious fellow and may get all right again.' But he looked the fact of death in the face with the same courage and determination that he faced Judge North many years ago. A few hours before he died he said calmly to those around him, 'I am dying.' And when the end came his head dropped back on the pillow, and with a quiet sigh, as of one falling to sleep, he passed away."

Personal life
Foote's first marriage was to Henriette Mariane (born c. 1850), daughter of Adolph Heimann, a professor of German, on 20 March 1877. This marriage ended with her death in October of the same year. His second wife, Rosalia Martha (born c. 1862), daughter of Leopold Angel, a silversmith, supported his work but stayed in the background. They married on 12 April 1884, and had four children: a son named Francis, and three daughters named Helen, Florence, and Dorothy.

Foote was a cultured scholar with a deep knowledge of English literature, an admirer of Shakespeare, and a friend of George Meredith.
