Look, I don't blank pages, I changed what they are right to the good prononciation. The are 2 articles for 1 subject, so I earse one, Il past this page ont the other page and i will create redirect on the page that I erase. Look by your self, All what I erase on a pge, I past it to the other.

 * Except that you didn't replace it with a redirect, you just left the page blank: . If you actually had replaced it with a redirect, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Owen× ☎  23:11, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Don't worry about your English; it's not my first language either (and I'm also a Canadian!). Just be sure you don't leave a blank page, even for a short time. Once you finish a merge, only then turn it into a redirect. I found another one you left here. Please change to a redirect when the target article is ready. Thanks!

You will be blocked if you keep vandalizing pages. -- Earl Andrew - talk 00:34, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This was all discussed a few months ago. All the pages of the former municipalities were at "xxx, Quebec" and were moved to "xxx (Montreal)" or just xxx. Now, we had an argument over this, so we had a compromise. Information on the communities themselves would go at xxx, Quebec while the borough articles would go at xxx (borough). Please stop reverting president. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:49, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The discussion over Montreal North was not one I participated in, but I believe they wanted to use the English name, because it is customary on the English wikipedia to use the English name of a community. It is the same reason why on the French encyclopedia Londres is not at London. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:53, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok, but for this I will create a article in french Montréa-Nord, Québec and Montréal-Nord (borough) beacuase is the official name of the place ANd all the other borough are in french name (official lsnguage of Quebec nation). For resaon, In Montreal template it is the prononciation in french that are include.

Montreal West, Quebec
Why do you continually change the page name for Montreal West, Quebec to Montréal-Ouest, Quebec? There is a discussion on this subjection on the talk page, that you have not contributed to, including a request that any name changes be done formally. Can you please follow the procedure? Nfitz 00:49, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

 * You wrote on my page "I'm sorry but Montréal-Ouest is the real name of this city. It is a big mistake and like you can see, 99% of all the others cities ans borougs are writhen in the name in french (that is the official name). To correct a big mistake lake thaht, I have not to discuss with anybody." First off, Montreal West has never been a city.  It was a town before the merger.  Personally I haven't figured out what it is after the demerger, a town within a city perhaps.  Secondly during it's original existence, it's name was officially, and only, in English, during most of the years of it's existence.  Thirdly, you can't just go an change the name, when there is a discussion from the fall-out of your previosu renaming going on.  Please take part in the discussion before getting into a revert war.  Also, if the City of Montréal's English-language website refers to the place as Montreal West, and not Montréal-Ouest - who are we to do otherwise?  Finally, please sign your posts on my page and any other talk page to which you contribute Nfitz 01:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Tagging major edits as minor
I've been looking at some of your other edits on the Montreal West page. You've tagged some quite major changes as "Minor". A controversial renaming of a page, is not a minor edit! Please use the minor edit, for typos, fixing your own mistakes, etc. Thanks  Nfitz 18:10, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
We went through a formal name change procedure on the Montreal West page, however you changed the name back again, without voting in the discussion, or going through the proper procedure. Your renaming of the Dieu et mon droit to God and my right doesn't make sense to me, and renaming Martin Luther King III to Martin Luther King, son is uncomprehendable. Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Nfitz 18:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Personal Attacks
I've asked previously that you don't attack other contributers. Writing on the Montreal West talk page that you think a contributer is "stupid" after losing a vote, is not on. Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. Nfitz 16:42, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Please check for double redirects
When you moved the Côte Saint-Luc–Hampstead–Montreal West page you created some double redirects. When moving pages, can you check for these and fix. Thanks, Nfitz 17:01, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Removing Content from Talk pages
Removing content from Talk pages that others have written, could be seen as vandalism. Please do not do this on pages other than your own. Nfitz 21:06, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Saint Leonard
Orthodoxe, please stop renaming Montreal articles to their French names. This is not the French Wikipedia, as you know, it is the English one. Wikipedia's policy is to use the most common English pronunciation. What you are doing is wrong for several reasons. Firstly, it goes against the policy described above, since the English name, while not official, is the place's name in English. For example, the French article about Venice is called Venise and not Venezia. Venise is not the city's official name, but it is the city's French name. In the same way, English place names may not be "official" in Quebec, but they are the English names nonetheless. Saint Leonard, like Venice, is the English name, just like Pékin or Londres are the correct French names, yet unofficial.

Furthermore, your changes are highly political. While they may have been made simply in good faith, they could be considered offensive to English speakers. In fact, as an Anglo-Quebecer myself, I was offended when I saw that you had changed Saint Leonard (borough) to Saint-Léonard (borough). However I later realized it may not be political vandalism but just a misunderstanding. Please note that the English names used are those used by English speaking Quebecers, not foreign Anglophones. In other words, they are the names used by Quebecers themselves, not imposed on Quebec by foreigners.

Besides that, this topic was already discussed at length several months ago and it was decided by the Montreal Wikipedia community as a whole to use the English names, including for streets. It is unjust for you to change article names without first consulting the community and having them vote on it.

If you are just trying to be helpful, then thank you for trying to help make Wikipedia better and I hope you will continue to improve it while taking into account what i have written. If, however, you are trying to impose some kind of Francophone Nationalist agenda onto English Quebecers, then it is greatly unappreciated. Wikipedia is not the place for politics, and if this is your aim know that I am the first one who will stand up to such linguistic oppression. Either way, please assume that the native Anglo-Quebecers who named the articles in the first place know the English names better than you, but if you think there is a mistake feel free to bring it to someone's attention. Don't take this personally, as it is what any second language Wikipedia editor should do. I will try to move back the articles affected, and hope you will do so as well. Also know that you should use the MOVE tag to move articles, not delete the content and replace it, as just copy-pasting does not copy the talk page or history. However, as I said, please consult the community before making further moves. ---Larineso 00:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Emuella

Emuella is a genus of Cambrian trilobites of the family Emuellidae. Its fossils have been found in South Australia.

Etymology
The genus name means "little emu", and refers to Emu Bay, on Kangaroo Island, one of the sites where fossils of Emuella have been collected. The species epithet polymera is derived from Greek words πολύ -poly- meaning "many"; and μέρος -meros- meaning "part", for the many segmented thorax. E. dalgarnoi is named after R.C. Dalgarno, who discovered Balcoracania dailyi in the Flinders Ranges, near Blinman, South Australia.

Description
It can be recognised by touching glabella and frontal border, and the sub-pentagonal head, as compared to, a short field between the front of the axis in the head or glabella and the border ridge, and a semi-circular headsheald in the sister-genus Balcoracania. Both emuellid genera share eye ridges that are positioned parallel to the frontal and lateral border of the head, prominent genal spines that are a smooth continuation of the lateral margin of the head, a prothorax of 6 segments, with the 5th and 6th merged and carrying large trailing spines. Both genera have in adulthood a highly variable but large number of segments of the opistothorax, although the largest number found in B. dailyi with 97 is much larger than in Emuella (52).

Talk:Order of Good Cheer

The Ideas page may no longer be up, but much of the CBC website is down right now because of a labour dispute, so I can't check.

 * Elementary school activity
 * Family dinner

Wolfstu 01:13, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

The order of good cheer was made by champlain for his mens physical and mental health. It was to promote fun and this is how it worked, 1 man is the host that where the gold chain and this man starts the song and everybody the crew sings with him and carrys around big plasters of food to the dining hall and hunt for the first few weeks so that they can make the food when its there turn

Copied Text
It appears that the Mzy8/9 2007 edits are primarily taken from http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/2162/bon1.htm which in turn copies it from another source dated to about the 1930's making the status of teh copyright unclear. It would be much better to have the article rewrtten using the information as a source. -- Whpq 14:36, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

What is it called?
The article variously refers to the order as the "Order of Good Times", the "Order of Good Cheer", and "The Order of the Good Time". I think it would be better if the official or most widely-accepted English language name was determined and used throughout. Oscroft (talk) 15:41, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Personally, the order was founded under the French name, so it should properly be refered-to as such. l'Ordre du Bon Temps was what was established. Far be it for me, though, to tell other fellows members what works for them and their own Good Cheer. :) LTC David J. Cormier (talk) 19:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Victoria College, Jersey

Victoria College is a Government-run, fee-paying, academically selective day school for boys in St Helier, Jersey. Founded in 1852, the school is named after Queen Victoria. It is owned and administered by the Government of Jersey and is located on Mont Millais adjacent to Jersey College for Girls, the Government fee-paying secondary school for girls. As a fee-charging school and a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC), Victoria College is often considered a private school or a public school in the British sense of the term, despite receiving government funding.

The school is selective, meaning prospective pupils must pass an entrance exam to be offered a place. The school charges £2,240 per term, with three terms per academic year, as of 2021/2022, and was noted as being the seventh-least expensive day school in the HMC in 2014. The senior school has about 650 boys aged 11 to 18, with a further 250 boys aged 7 to 11 at the associated preparatory school, which was established in 1922.

Foundation
The foundation stone of the school was laid on Queen Victoria's birthday, 24 May 1850. Most shops in Saint Helier closed for the day and 12,000 spectators were estimated to have attended the occasion. A military parade crossed the town of Saint Helier to the site of the ceremony, followed shortly afterwards by the members of the States of Jersey who adjourned the legislative sitting to attend. The Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey joined the dignitaries at the Temple in the grounds of the site. The Bailiff of Jersey laid in the foundations a box containing copies of the Acts of the States relating to the college, Jersey coins, and two medallions, one of silver, the other of bronze, depicting the arrival of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in Jersey in 1846, and a copper plate engraved with an inscription of the date of the founding of the college and the names of States Members, Officers of the Royal Court and the architect. With the foundation stone, carved with Masonic symbols, in place, the Lieutenant-Governor ceremonially laid the stone by striking it with a trowel. All the Members of the States in turn then proceeded to tap the stone with a mallet three times.

The school was opened on 29 September 1852 with 98 students enrolled. The accompanying ceremony featured a military parade, and the Lieutenant-Governor and the States of Jersey again assembled in the Temple and processed to the Great Hall where the Bailiff addressed the audience. He recalled the royal visit of 1846 and stated that the intention of memorialising that visit had inspired the construction of a college for the instruction of youth and of promenades for the recreation of the public. He stated that the interest shown by the Queen and the Prince in the college had led them to present two portraits. The Lieutenant-Governor then formally presented the portraits of the royal couple. The quality of the portraits, copies of Winterhalter, was criticised in the press. The initial uniform consisted of a jacket, waistcoat and trousers in black or dark green, and a cap of the same colour. The establishment of the College represented the triumph for those who wished to anglicise Jersey.

World war period
By the end of the 19th century, the school had gained a reputation for producing students who would go on to study at military academies in the United Kingdom, including Woolwich and Sandhurst, or take up direct appointments in the military, naval and civil service of the armed forces. At a time when the British Empire was at its height, this reputation came as no surprise, with many students' fathers being former officers and colonial administrators, and with there being a strong military influence in the island at the time. Within the first twenty-five years of the institution of the Victoria Cross in 1856, three Old Victorians were awarded the honour for their services, with two further alumni receiving the award for their service during World War I. In early 1940 the school remained largely unaffected by the outbreak of war in Europe, and although many young Jerseymen had left the island to join the war effort, several English parents had sent their sons to board at the school, believing the Channel Islands to be the safest place in the British Isles. However, developments in the war throughout May that year and the eventual collapse of French resistance meant it became clear the island was in danger. The Channel Islands were demilitarised in the belief that this would best protect the lives of the islanders, meaning many feared the imminent occupation of the islands by German forces. While many other schools in Jersey left evacuation decisions in the hands of parents, Victoria College decided to evacuate some boys and their masters to the UK where they stayed for the remainder of World War II attending English public schools, including Shrewsbury and Bedford. However, around 130 boys and several masters remained in Jersey, and the school continued to operate during the occupation.

Early on during the occupation, the German forces commandeered College House building for the Reich Labour Service, but otherwise did not significantly disrupt the normal routine of the school for much of 1941. However, in September that year, German forces took possession of the remaining school buildings, forcing the students and masters to relocate to Halkett Place school. Around a year later, another blow was dealt to the school as several English-born masters and staff were deported to Germany, though substitutes were found and the school remained open. Soon thereafter, however, in October 1942 the German forces returned the buildings to the school. Only minimal damage had been done to the buildings, with the hall windows partially painted black, and by 1943 the school had restored the building to its original state. Life in Jersey became increasingly worse for the remainder of the occupation, as there was no gas nor electricity and food supplies were increasingly scarce. As a result, afternoon schooling was discontinued, homework not issued, and sports were only played on a small scale. British food-parcels arrived early in 1945, relieving some of the hardship suffered by islanders, and eventually on 8 May 1945 the headmaster relayed news of Victory in Europe and all 175 boys were dismissed to join the celebrations.

Modern period
A memorial service was held on 2 June 1946 in the main hall to remember Old Victorians who died in the war. The school quickly returned to its normal functioning, and the next few years saw a range of developments including a wider range of subjects and the building of a new sports pavilion and art building. By 1952, the school was in a state fit to celebrate its centenary, which was marked by a visit from the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. This development continued into the next decade as an associated preparatory school was opened in 1966. The school's 125 year anniversary was commemorated by Jersey Post with an issue of special stamps on 29 September 1977.

In the late 1990s, the school was involved in a highly publicised child abuse scandal concerning a maths teacher at the school, Andrew Jervis-Dykes, and the attempts by staff at the school to cover up the abuse. Allegations were made against Jervis-Dykes in 1992 and 1994, but on both occasions, the school's headmaster, Jack Hydes, failed to notify the police or investigate the allegations and instructed staff not to discuss the allegations. In 1996, thirteen pupils alleged that Jervis-Dykes had abused them on a Navy Cadet sailing trip, but again the allegations were dismissed by the school as rumours. However, a video showing Jervis-Dykes assaulting several boys subsequently emerged and Jervis-Dykes was arrested by Jersey Police; headmaster Jack Hydes and his deputy, Piers Baker, refused to engage in the investigation or identify the boys in the video. Eventually, in April 1999, Jervis-Dykes was sentenced and jailed for six counts of indecent assault against six school pupils whom he had given alcohol to before abusing them in their beds on school sailing trips between 1984 and 1993 and one count of possession of an indecent photograph of a child.

The Sharp Report, instigated as a result of the investigation into Jervis-Dykes' actions and the actions of school staff, noted that "The handling of the complaint was more consistent with protecting a member of staff and the college's reputation in the short-term than safeguarding the best interests of the pupil", continuing to say "The reaction of the political establishment was to sweep this under the carpet and keep the veneer of respectability ... This is just another example of concealment and cover up. They did the bare minimum, prosecuted one perpetrator." Both Hydes and Baker subsequently resigned from the school. In the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry, an inquiry investigating child abuse in Jersey launched in 2014, a member of the island's Child Protection Team said that many of his colleagues were alumni of the school and therefore did not offer any support to the investigation into Jervis-Dykes as they did not want the school's reputation "dragged through the mud."

School structure
In the English public school tradition, the school operates on a house system. There are five houses—Braithwaite, Bruce, Diarmid, Dunlop and Sartorius—named after alumni distinguished for their military service and each house has its own room. House flags are hung atop the east tower of the school's main building, each celebrating a variety of achievements of each house every month throughout the year.

Teaching at the school is delivered over 25 periods a week divided into 60-minute lessons, with a typical school day starting at 8:25 am and finishing at 3:25 pm. Year groups are divided into five tutor groups of either 23 or 24 students divided by house, each overseen by a dedicated tutor.

Governance
The school is owned by the States of Jersey and is governed by a board of governors made up of parent governors, invited governors selected "to reflect an appropriate balance of interests and to help provide links with the local community", and staff governors.

All staff, including the school's head teacher, are employees of Jersey's Children, Young People, Education and Skills department. It is headed by a director general, to which all staff and the headteacher of the school directly report. Its role is supportive, providing advice and mediation practices, and to ensure accountability. The Government of Jersey’s human resources department controls the recruitment of staff and governors in conjunction with the school, making appropriate checks to ensure all are suitable.

An inspection report by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in 2017 found that "Governors provide suitable support and guidance for the college ... and they monitor the quality of procedures", noting also that "The Jersey Education Department and governors of the schools ensure that the leadership and management demonstrate good skills and knowledge, and fulfil their responsibilities effectively so that the other standards are consistently met and they actively promote the well-being of the pupils."

As well as being fee-charging, the school is also a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC). As a result, the school is often referred to as a private school in the British sense of the term, despite being owned by the States of Jersey.

Admissions
The senior school accepts pupils between the ages of 11 and 18, and its associated preparatory school accepts pupils between the ages of 7 and 11. The senior school is selective, meaning admission is based on ability which is assessed by way of an entrance examination. Pupils of the preparatory school, who make up around 75% of the senior school's intake, are not required to sit such an assessment and are admitted automatically.

In 2017, the ISI inspection report found that pupils were admitted from across the island from families with a wide range of professional backgrounds and predominantly from white British families; around 40% of pupils were born in the United Kingdom. As of 2021/2022, the school charges £2,240 per term with three terms per academic year.

Structure
From years 7 to 9, the school curriculum follows the island's curriculum programme. Beyond year 9, the school designs its own curriculum to provide a more tailored framework for pupils which conforms to English National Curriculum requirements. At GCSE level, in years 10 and 11, all students must take English, mathematics and physical education and they are expected to study a modern foreign language and religious studies, at least two sciences, and three optional subjects. At A-level, students will study three or four subjects over two years. Almost all boys at the school go on to study at universities in the UK. The school partially shares its teaching with the nearby Jersey College for Girls.

An ISI report in 2017 noted that "The breadth of the curriculum, combined with ane extensive activity programme, provides pupils with experience in linguistic, mathematical, scientific, technological, human and social, physical, and aesthetic and creative education. Literacy, science and mathematics are emphasised with a particular focus on improving literacy standards" describing the curriculum as "well planned and timetabled with suitable schemes of work."

Examinations
Students are entered for GCSE and IGCSE examinations in years 10 and 11 and A-level examinations in the sixth-form. A 2017 ISI report found that "The majority of pupils attain high standards in public examinations", finding that, for the period 2014 to 2016, GCSE results were consistently above the UK national average for maintained schools with nearly half of all papers graded A or A*, IGCSE results in biology and physics were higher than worldwide norms, and two-thirds of A-level results were graded A* to B.

Extracurricular activities
A wide range of extracurricular activities are offered at the school. Students participate in a range of sports, arts, music and local events, as well as the school's Combined Cadet Force (CCF). Students also participate in The Duke of Edinburgh's Award programme. Regular contests in cricket, hockey and rifle shooting have been held against rivals Elizabeth College for over a century.

An ISI report in 2017 found that the level of extracurricular achievement at the school was "excellent" and described the CCF as "a real strength of the school", noting in particular its success in target rifle shooting, where students regularly make selection for UK and British cadet teams.

School site
The school occupies an extensive area on the hills above Saint Helier and facing the bay of Saint-Malo. The neo-gothic main building, finished in 1852, remains in use and houses the great hall, libraries and administrative areas. Newer developments including classrooms, a music centre, science suite, design and technology suite, computer suites, theatre and sixth form centre surround the historic building. The school shares some of its facilities with the Jersey College for Girls located on the adjacent site.

The school owns or has access to a wide range of sporting facilities. Adjacent to the main buildings lie several playing fields, and the main site also includes a 25-yard shooting range and squash courts. The school, along with the Jersey College for Girls, uses the Langford sports centre during term times, which provides a 25-metre swimming pool, dance studio, gymnasium and sports hall.

The school's main building was described by David Ansted and Robert Latham as "a handsome building, well placed, overlooking the town on the eastern side, and from one direction is extremely picturesque" in their book, The Channel Islands, published in 1862.

Notable alumni
The school's alumni are often referred to as Old Victorians. Notable alumni of the school in the military include five Victoria Cross holders, Henry William Pitcher, William Bruce, Allastair McReady-Diarmid, and brothers Reginald and Euston Sartorius.

Principals
The school's first headmaster was William Henderson. A graduate of Magdalen College, Oxford, Henderson was headmaster of the school for ten years from 1852 until 1862. The school's current headmaster is Gareth Hughes, who took up the post in 2021 on a one-year basis following the retirement of Alun Watkins. The full list of headmasters of the school is as follows:

Dem Bones

"Dem Bones" (also called "Dry Bones" and "Dem Dry Bones") is a spiritual song. The melody was composed by author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938) and his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson. It was first recorded by The Famous Myers Jubilee Singers in 1928. Both a long and a shortened version of the song are widely known. The lyrics are inspired by Ezekiel 37:1–14, in which the prophet Ezekiel visits the Valley of Dry Bones and prophesies that they will one day be resurrected at God's command, picturing the realization of the New Jerusalem.

The song
The chorus and verses are noted for many variations among performers, but fall into the following style. The second verse reverses the first in a pattern similar to:
 * The neck bone (dis)connected from the head bone
 * ... etc...

"Intro 1 Dem bones Dem bones Dem dry bones Dem bones Dem bones Dem dry bones Dem bones Dem bones Dem dry bones, Hear the word of the Lord.

Verse 1 Toe bone connected to the foot bone Foot bone connected to the heel bone Heel bone connected to the ankle bone Ankle bone connected to the leg bone Leg bone connected to the knee bone Knee bone connected to the thigh bone Thigh bone connected to the hip bone Hip bone connected to the back bone Back bone connected to the shoulder bone Shoulder bone connected to the neck bone Neck bone connected to the head bone Hear the word of the Lord.

Chorus Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk around. Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk around. Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk around. Now hear the word of the Lord. Intro 2 Dem bones Dem bones Dem dry bones Dem bones Dem bones Dem dry bones Dem bones Dem Bones Dem dry bones, Hear the word of the Lord.

Verse 2 Head bone (dis)connected from the neck bone Neck bone connected from the shoulder bone Shoulder bone connected from the back bone Back bone connected from the hip bone Hip bone connected from the thigh bone Thigh bone connected from the knee bone Knee bone connected from the leg bone Leg bone connected from the ankle bone Ankle bone connected from the heel bone Heel bone connected from the foot bone Foot bone connected from the toe bone Hear the word of the Lord.

Chorus Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk around. Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk around. Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk around. Hear the word of the Lord.

Finale Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones. Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones. Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones. Hear the word of the Lord."

Artists
Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians recorded the song on 30 April 1947 and released it on the 78 rpm record Decca 23948. The Delta Rhythm Boys recorded it in 1950 under the name "Dry Bones".

A recording of the song by the Canadian vocal group The Four Lads was featured prominently in "Fall Out", the final episode of the 1967–68 science fiction series, The Prisoner. The song is also performed at several points in the episode, most notably when the character of Number 48 spontaneously begins to lip sync to the recording in order to disrupt a ceremony involving the show's protagonist, Number 6. Later, several characters are shown dancing to the same recording.

Fred Gwynne performs a solo version, accompanying himself on guitar, in a 1965 episode of The Munsters: "Will Success Spoil Herman Munster?"

Peter O'Toole performs the song in the 1972 film The Ruling Class.

The song was used in the 1979 Schoolhouse Rock! segment "Them Not-So-Dry Bones", about the skeletal system.

Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song for the end credits of their 1999 direct-to-video film Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein.

The song is performed on two episodes of the PBS Kids show It's a Big Big World, in 2007.

Freedom Shop

The Freedom Shop is the name of an anarchist infoshop which distributes books and information, based in Wellington, New Zealand. It operates on a non profit basis, injecting any income back into the project. The shop has been based in different locations and mainly sells books on anarchism, feminism, indigenous rights, ecology and a range of activist issues. It also carries patches, badges, clothing and music.

History
The Freedom Shop was established on May 1, 1995. It was based on upper Cuba Street in Te Aro, in a building formerly occupied by the NORML shop. NORML initially kept up with the rent. The shop was operated by volunteers, and any earnings were reinvested in the business. The shop sold books, magazines, pamphlets, leaflets, T-shirts, patches, records, and stickers.

In the 2000s, plans for the construction of the Wellington Inner City Bypass meant that the Freedom Shop would be evicted. However, the plans were bitterly contested. When security guards employed by Transit NZ broke into the shop and changed the locks, 50 activists broke in and briefly re-opened it.

The Freedom Shop moved into a more prominent location in the Cake Shop (a community infoshop/internet cafe in mid Cuba St). When the Cake Shop closed in 2005, the Freedom Shop relocated to Oblong (a community infoshop/internet cafe) in Te Aro's left bank arcade. Oblong closed in early 2009, and The Freedom Shop reverted to running stalls at public events. However, for the last few years the Freedom Shop has a home in a corner of the Newtown Opportunity for Animals Co-op Shop in Riddiford St, Newtown, Wellington.

Publications
In 2014, the collective published the first issue of a periodical called AARGH! as the Aoteroa Anarchist Review. Issue ten was published in April 2019.

Affiliations
The collective maintains close links with Aotearoa Indymedia and local radical groups such as the 128 Community Centre.

Talk:Cullen, Moray

Cullen
Are we sure about 4 viaducts? 84.9.88.149 01:18, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

No, we're not. There are four railway bridges in the town, but only three of them are multi-span - so it's only three viaducts. The one at the west end of the town is by far the most impressive, and appears regularly on Scottish calendars. At one point it crosses the road as the road crosses Cullen Burn, so we have a viaduct crossing a bridge. Source is my personal memory, I lived there for 2.5 years and still drive through the town twice every weekday. S2Wiki 16:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Date of burgh charter
The article says Cullen "received its first known burgh charter in 1455", but McNeill and MacQueen, Atlas of Scottish History (1996), p. 197, includes Cullen on its list of royal burghs already in existence by 1214. Lachrie (talk) 00:13, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

No consensus to move as proposed. While there was a discussion to move this to Cullen, Scotland, it is not clear that there was consensus for that. I'd suggest a follow on nomination to just consider that option. Given the the opposition for the move was the lack of a primary topic, the dab page will be moved to the primary name space as was suggested in several comments. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:40, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Cullen, Moray → Cullen — to revert an unnecessary move in the opposite direction that has left many links in other articles pointing to the wrong page. --Deskford (talk) 04:11, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Oppose correct the links. There's more than one Cullen. Move the disambiguation page to primary. 64.229.103.232 (talk) 05:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose; Cullen should be a disambiguation page. Powers T 14:23, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose, not clear that this is a primary topic and several other articles exist. Most of the links are for this article, but that is possibly because it was previously at that title. A few are for the surname, which should probably be split from the disambiguation page. Peter E. James (talk) 16:58, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * There are a number of places and things called Cullen, so I don't think this fairly small village is the clear primary topic. Though I would suggest moving the article to Cullen, Scotland per the naming conventions: Naming conventions (geographic names). And it would be less confusing - I never knew Cullen was in Moray, I thought it was in Aberdeenshire or Banffshire... --Vclaw (talk) 20:14, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose move to Cullen, because the surname is clearly the older and more important meaning (all other meanings seem to be derived from it). Move to Cullen, Scotland: WP:Be bold, this was more a "this article does not belong here, but Cullen (disambiguation) does"-move than a "Cullen, Moray is the perfect place for the article about this cow's hamlet"-move. --User1812011 (talk) 19:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Normally, a surname derives from the name of a town, not the other way round. The Royal Burgh of Cullen, was at one point a quite important town, hardly a cows hamlet. It would have been polite have suggested the change, prior to doing so. There are a number of places called "Glasgow" but we dont have a disambiguation page"--Lieutenant Kijé (talk) 20:00, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I differ. The place is in Scotland; the distribution of the name is in the north of Ireland. So either it is derived from the name; or it might as well be that "Cullen" has a meaning in a language family (Gaelic) that made it a name as well as a place name in totally independent locations (cf. Serbia and Sorbs for another example). As it is a place, it has got a region, so it can be called Cullen, Scotland like VClaw suggested. --User1812011 22:24, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment:- King Indulf (possibly from the Danish Hilduf) who died in Cullen, had a son King Culen, sometimes referred to as Culenring (suggested to be from the Danish hringer). The point is that as a name Cullen cannot be purely described as coming from Ireland. Additionally a number of authors have suggested that the names identified by Ptolemny are Pictish, they would later be gaelicised and/or norwegianised. In all probability the Scottish & Irish Towns and Scottish and Irish names have no connections except as coincidencies. What matters as to what people are search for and I reckon the on Google the Scottish Town of Cullen just pips Twighlights Edward Cullen. Cullen Golf Club and Cullen Bay Hotel and even 'Cullen Skink hits the 1st page. IMHO a bowl of Cullen skink tops anything.--Lieutenant Kijé (talk) 23:22, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. My reason for requesting the move back was not because of any perception of one usage being more important than the other.  I suspect the surname and placename could have arisen independently.  The origins of both are uncertain, and rival claims of Gaelic and Norse derivation are made for the Moray town and also for the hills in Skye and Rùm that bear the presumed same name spelled "Cuillin".  My concern was that the move had been made without consultation and, crucially, without any apparent attempt to clean up the many links from other pages that are now left pointing to the wrong place.   has corrected some of these by modifying Moray places, but many more remain.  's move was indeed WP:BOLD — the next stage in the WP:BRD cycle is to revert.  --Deskford (talk) 00:47, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * No, actually, it isn't. Actually, the next logical step is to determine where the article should go (Cullen, Scotland has been nominated), and then correcting the links.
 * As you undoubtedly have seen, the links to the article are such an utter chaos between links that should point to the place and links that should point to the disambig.
 * As you also can plainly see above, many others are following my arguments that the cow's hamlet is NOT entiteled to the Cullen article, because that greatly contributed to the chaos; no author takes the time to search for the correct article, everyone relies on the correct implementation of the WP Naming Conventions.
 * And as I learned quite fast, there's no use trying to get consultation, because none is to be had. I requested the creation of Cullinane with alomost the complete article in the RFCreation; some weeks later I made this account and did it myself. Many Move Requests were the same. If I had sought for consultation, that would have been ignored for as long as I sought, and after I moved the article because no one opposed it (or was interested, for that matter), we had the same situation as we have now.
 * So frack WP:BRD, let's find the right place for Cullen, Moray, and fix the links without further flaming, bickering, flabbling and other enthropy-enhancing chaos. Sorting the links that must be altered from those that point to the right article will be hard and long enough. --User1812011 22:17, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Kate Paye

Katherine Anne Paye (born March 6, 1974) is a former collegiate and professional basketball player who is currently the head coach of the Stanford Cardinal women's basketball team.

Early life and college career
Paye was born at the medical center of Stanford University's hospital, and was raised in Woodside, California in a family of Stanford student-athletes. Both of her parents, her sister and brother all went to the school. Her father was a running back for Stanford's football team while her brother John was a guard for Stanford's basketball team and quarterback for the Cardinal in the mid-1980s, and later was her basketball coach at Menlo School. At Menlo, Kate led the team to three consecutive California Interscholastic Federation Division V state basketball championships from 1989 to 1991.

After high school, she was recruited by (and turned down) Harvard University, Princeton University and Dartmouth College. Stanford never recruited her, so Paye attended its women's basketball team training camp as a walk-on and tried out. She was accepted and won a spot as a point guard on the team.

In her freshman year in 1992, she played on Stanford's 1992 championship team and earned a scholarship for the following year.

She graduated in 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science.

ABL and WNBA
In 1996, Paye began her professional basketball career with the Seattle Reign in the American Basketball League (ABL) for three seasons until the league folded.

She later joined the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) in 2000, and played for the Minnesota Lynx for two seasons. After she was waived by Lynx in May 2002, she signed a free agent contract with the Seattle Storm and played for them in the 2002 season.

During her WNBA career, she spent the offseason pursuing a JD/MBA degree. And in the Spring of 2003, she graduated from Stanford Law School with a Juris Doctor and the Stanford Graduate School of Business with a Masters in Business Administration.

Coaching career
After graduating from Stanford, Paye started her coaching career in 1995 as an assistant coach at San Diego State University for one season. She left the following year to embark upon her playing career in the ABL.

After her playing career ended, Paye returned to coaching when she was hired as a women's basketball assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Pepperdine University for the 2004–05 season. She returned to San Diego State the next season as an assistant coach.

In June 2007, Paye returned to Stanford as an assistant coach. On April 16, 2024, she was named head coach following the retirement of long-time coach Tara VanDerveer.

Boathouse Row

Boathouse Row is a historic site which is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the east bank of the Schuylkill River just north of the Fairmount Water Works and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It consists of a row of fifteen boathouses housing social and rowing clubs and their racing shells. Each of the boathouses has its own history, and all have addresses on both Boathouse Row and Kelly Drive, named after Philadelphia oarsman John B. Kelly Jr..

Boathouses #2 through #14 are part of a group known as the Schuylkill Navy, which encompasses several other boathouses along the river. Boathouse #1 is Lloyd Hall and is the only public boathouse facility on the Row. Boathouse #15 houses the Sedgeley Club, which operates the Turtle Rock Lighthouse. The boathouses are all at least a century old, and some were built more than 150 years ago.

History and importance
Boathouse Row hosts several major rowing regattas, including the Dad Vail Regatta, the Stotesbury Cup Regatta, the Navy Day Regatta, the Independence Day Regatta, and the Head of the Schuylkill.

The boathouses are seen as centers of the rowing community around the United States. Rowers from the boathouses compete at every level, including local clubs, high schools, colleges, summer racing programs, and international-level athletics.

In 1979, lights designed by architectural lighting designer Ray Grenald were installed to outline each of the boathouses, giving them a nightly Christmas-like gingerbread house appearance and reflecting in the Schuylkill River. He proposed the lights after hearing talk of destroying the decaying Victorian boathouses. Lights on the buildings at night would serve to make them more noticed and appreciated. In 2005, after two refurbishings, the houses were outfitted with computerized LEDs that can light up in various colors, depending on the event or season.

Boathouse Row is a National Historic Landmark and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Local universities including Drexel, Penn, and La Salle row out of houses on Boathouse Row. Temple and Saint Joseph's row out of other boathouses along the Schuylkill that are not part of the Row.

Early 19th-century beginnings
The history of Boathouse Row begins with the construction of the Fairmount Dam and the adjacent water works. The Dam was built in 1821 to keep brackish tidal waters from entering the city's water supply through the Fairmount Water Works, which had been completed in 1815. The Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company would become heavily involved in the improvements. The dam initially submerged the rapids, and later developments transformed the stretch of the Schuylkill between the dam and East Falls from a tidal river into a slack water river resembling a very long freshwater lake. The placid man-made surface was ideal for ice skating in winter and rowing in summer.

In 1835, the first regatta took place between the Blue Devils and the Imps Barge clubs. The excitement from the race sparked the formation of several barge clubs, many of them short-lived.

The frame boathouses
A secondary effect of taming the Schuylkill was that the calm water provided a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which drove wealthy residents from their riverside mansions. The abandoned estates were bought by the City of Philadelphia. In 1844, the city purchased the Lemon Hill Estate. The leaseholder of Lemon Hill operated a beer garden and allowed rowing and barge clubs to build frame structure boathouses on the Estate's property along the Schuylkill.

In 1855, the city founded Fairmount Park by converting the Lemon Hill Estate, upon which the frame boathouses were built, into a public park. At the same time, some of the established clubs wanted to regulate the sport of rowing to prevent unscrupulous practices and fixed races. As a result, in 1858, the Schuylkill Navy was founded, which eventually transformed the professional sport of rowing into an amateur sport. In 1859, the city condemned the boathouses along the Schuylkill.

Boathouses of 1860
Although the city condemned the frame boathouses, it passed an ordinance in 1860 to permit construction of three new boathouses for Pacific Barge Club, the clubs of the Schuylkill Navy, and the Philadelphia Skating Club. After 1860, without city approval, several clubs constructed one-story boathouses similar to the frame structures that the city had previously condemned and removed, but these newer boathouses were built with brick and stone. In 1868, following an expansion of Fairmount Park, the city ordered the removal of all of the one-story brick and stone boathouses except for buildings belonging to the Philadelphia Skating Club (#14 Boathouse Row), Pacific Barge Club (#2-3 Boathouse Row), and Bachelors Barge Club (#6).

Post–Civil War boathouses
Between 1869 and 1871, Pennsylvania Barge Club and Crescent Boat Club erected a double boathouse at #4 and #5 Boathouse Row. In 1871, the Fairmount Park commission allowed the University Barge Club and the Philadelphia Barge Club to build a double boathouse at #7-8 Boathouse Row. In 1873, Malta Boat Club and Vesper Boat Club built a double boathouse at #9 and #10 Boathouse Row. In 1874, College Boat Club built the boathouse at #11 Boathouse Row. In 1878, West Philadelphia Boat Club built #12 Boathouse Row.

Five years later, in 1883, Undine Barge Club constructed #13 Boathouse Row. In 1892, with Crescent's permission, Pennsylvania Barge Club tore down and replaced their half of the double boathouse at #4 Boathouse Row. In 1894, Bachelors Barge Club replaced its 1860 building at #6 Boathouse Row. In 1902, the Sedgeley Club was allowed to build #15 Boathouse Row. In 1904, Fairmount Rowing Association demolished the stone building built by Pacific Barge Club at #2 Boathouse Row and replaced the 1860 structure with a new brick structure, leaving #3 and #14 Boathouse Row as the only remaining boathouses dating from 1860.

User:Redwolf24/Bootcamp heading

Hello newbies, and welcome to Redwolf24's bootcamp. Here I would like to pass down some of my knowledge of Wikipedia that may help you out. I think we should start with some common knowledge around the 'pedia. Wikipedia was founded by Jimbo Wales on January 15, 2001. Since then it has grown to the top 20 websites in the WORLD. And here's the number one tip even if you don't feel like reading these things (which I've tried to summarize for your benefit): Type -- ~ (note that that is two hyphens and four tildes) after your notes on talk pages and when you are voting on things. The Wikipedia software converts it to your username and the date.

If you need to know anything else, leave a message on my talk page and me or Sango123 or someone else will be glad to answer it :)

Links/Images

Some things about Wikipedia: Wikipedia is not HTML. It has its own software. To link to another Wikipedia article, put it in square brackets ([ and ]) As such: Dog becomes Dog. To do an image type becomes -->

How do you say one thing and make it become another when clicked? Like so: The sixteenth president of the United States Becomes The sixteenth president of the United States.

Lists
Another thing to notice is that if you type: Bob Joe Jimmy

It looks like this: Bob Joe Jimmy

To do a list either begin each line with an asterisk (*):
 * Bob
 * Joe
 * Jimmy

Or with a pound sign (#) (this will make a numbered list, including the period):
 * Bob
 * Joe
 * 1) Jimmy

Sectioning
To section a page type == (Section Name) ==

To make a subsection type === (Subsection) ===

To make another use four ='s and five ='s.

Wikiquette
Wikipedia's number one policy is to be civil. Don't ever call someone an asshole, even if they are. ;)

Something that new users don't realize is that it's normally bad form to edit someone else's user page. Speaking of user page, create your own! So when you sign you get a blue link.

Handy links within Wikipedia and other various things
As you've probably realized, Wikipedia gets a fair share of vandals. To report a vandal, go to WP:AIV and an Admin will block them. Your help is very appreciated.

To see people trying to become admins, see Requests for adminship. Note that it would not be wise to nominate yourself for an admin when you have less than 2000 edits.

Wikipedia has a 3RR rule. That is to say if someone edits a page and you erase their edits more than three times within 24 hours, you will be blocked.

If you want to delete a page, you can't just blank it, that doesn't work. An admin has to. Either type d if it is a Candidate for speedy deletion (few cases) or follow the instructions at VFD for the article otherwise.

Redirecting
To redirect from one page to another, erase ALL text and then type #REDIRECT DESTINATION

Text formatting
To make italic text, use two apostrophes on each side of the text. Redwolf24 becomes Redwolf24. Use three for bold text, Redwolf24 =Redwolf24. Use five of them to get Bold AND Italic. Redwolf24.

Feel free to test below here :) Redwolf24 01:23, 23 August 2005 (UTC) should

North Ferriby

North Ferriby is a village and civil parish in the Haltemprice area of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

Humber Estuary
"The archaeology of the intertidal wetlands of the Humber Estuary is of international importance, and includes prehistoric boats, trackways, fishtraps and platforms, Roman settlements and ports and Post-Medieval fishweirs."

The foreshore of North Ferriby, within the Humber Estuary, is the site of the earliest sewn plank boats known outside Egypt. In 1931, wooden planks belonging to an ancient boat were discovered by local man Ted Wright on the shore of the Humber. Two further boats have since been discovered. Estimates using radiocarbon dating have placed the origin of the boats to the Bronze Age, between 2030 and 1680 BC. The Ferriby Boats are the earliest known boats found in Europe. In addition, Bronze Age round barrows were found near North Ferriby by archaeologists excavating the land on which the A63 junction was built. There was also evidence of Iron Age and early Romano-British activity in that area. The first wave of Danes arrived in the area around 900 AD with each ship setting up a local village. Amongst these was what is now North Ferriby from the Danish Ferja bi (place by a ferry), which would have been the chief Danish settlement of the area and linked by ferry to South Ferriby. A wooden church was built at that time, replaced by its first stone church c. 1150.

Ferriby Priory
The village was once significant for Ferriby Priory, c. 1160, of the order of knights templar, founded by Lord Eustace Broomfleet de Vesci, in the reign of King John, anno 1200, as appears from an ancient manuscript formerly in the possession of the late Luke Lillingston, Esq. of North Ferriby, the Owner of the priory. It was dissolved along with the lesser monasteries, in 1536. The site of this priory is said to have been in the possession of 100 different persons "in the space of no more than 130 years after its dissolution".

The village has, in succession, been the patrimonial possession of the Mortimers, the Poles and the Bacons. It retains the elements of several elegant mansions from c. 1750 as Hull merchants started to build large houses (such as Ferriby House) with cottages for workers.

Geography
North Ferriby is on the north bank of the Humber Estuary, approximately 8 mi west of Hull city centre. To the north, atop a hill, lies Swanland via the B1231. South Ferriby is directly opposite the village, on the south bank of the Humber. North Ferriby is generally referred to as "Ferriby" by locals on the north bank, except where confusion might arise. Melton is close by to the west which is where the large South Hunsley School is.

North Ferriby lies in the Parliamentary constituency of Haltemprice and Howden.

Community
Ferriby parish had a population of 3,893, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 3,819 according to the 2011 UK census. The school has approximately 300 pupils.

In the village is the Duke of Cumberland public house, a British Legion club, an Italian restaurant, a pizza takeaway, a newsagent, chemist, estate agents, a squash club with three courts, village hall, parish hall and three hairdressers. North Ferriby's main shop is a Co-operative Group convenience store. North Ferriby was home to local artist Tom Harland.

The village Riding for Disabled Association (RDA) is run throughout the year with the help of volunteers. The local football club, North Ferriby United A.F.C., played in the National League North. They won the 2014–15 FA Trophy after beating Conference Premier side Wrexham at Wembley Stadium on 29 March 2015. However were wound up by the High Court on 15 March 2019 due to outstanding debts of almost £10,000. A new club, North Ferriby F.C., was formed and play in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division.

There also the Anne Turner allotments and playing fields, home of North Ferriby Cricket Club. There are also three tennis courts and a newly built skate park.

A public footpath that forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail and the Yorkshire Wolds Way, runs from Ferriby to Hessle alongside the Humber estuary, with views of the Humber Bridge. On this path is the site where the Ferriby boats were found.

The village no longer has a police house; the nearest police station is in Brough.

With the backing of the Parish Council, the Twinning Association was formed in the spring of 2003 and links North Ferriby with Le Pellerin, a French village to the south of Brittany, on the estuary of France's longest river, the Loire.

The village church has a distinctive spire, designed by John Loughborough Pearson, R.A. (1817–97), and was completed in 1848. The church dedicated to All Saints' was designated a Grade II listed building in 1968 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. The current vicar is Reverend Matthew Brailsford. The parish used to have extensive holdings, including St Mary Lowgate in Hull.

Transport
The village is served by the main A63 road, being bypassed in 1961, which links to the M62 motorway to the west and Hull to the east. The former A63 is now the B1231. Access to the village is from the new grade separated junction that was fully completed in early 2007.

The village is served by Ferriby railway station which is on the Selby Line. To get to places further away users must change at another railway station, the most commonly used is Brough to the west.

The Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail and the Trans Pennine Trail long distance footpaths pass through the village.

A442 road

The A442 is a main road which passes through the counties of Worcestershire and Shropshire, in the West Midlands region of England.

Route
From Droitwich in Worcestershire it runs towards Kidderminster where it meets the A449 from Worcester. This section of road used to be the B4192 until the late 1970s when it was upgraded to A road status.

At Kidderminster, it starts again and then runs north-north-west into Shropshire, via Bridgnorth and Telford (where it crosses the M54 motorway). Through Telford it is known as Queensway, and the Eastern Primary (EP). It ends where it meets the A53 just outside the village of Hodnet. Before the A53 bypass around the village was built, the A442 continued through Hodnet and joined the A41 near Darliston, south of Whitchurch. This section of road however has now been downgraded: most of it is declassified, but part has been reclassified as part of B5065.

History
From Droitwich to Low Hill (south of Kidderminster) the road is probably ancient, as it is referred to in the Saxon charter for Whitlinge (in Hartlebury) dated AD 980 as a stræte. This road was maintained by a Droitwich turnpike trust established in 1755.

North of Kidderminster it was a 'way' in the Saxon bounds of Wolverley before being joined by the great street at Shatterford. At Shatterford, the Prior of Worcester was authorised to assart (i.e. to clear) 100 acre of wood and heath "for the greater security of persons going through the said pass". From Shatterford the old course of the road goes through Romsley and Allum Bridge, to rejoin the present road at Quatt. The old survives as lane and tracks. The present road began life as a new turnpike built in the late 1820s by the Kidderminster turnpike trust, which had been responsible for the road as far as Quatford since 1760. Bridgnorth only became the northern end of the road in 1821. The trust remained responsible for the road until 1873.

North of Bridgnorth, the road formed part of the Stafford and Newport turnpikes. The Trust was established in 1763, becoming their third district, when their Act was renewed in 1783. Beyond Sutton Cross in Sutton Maddock the turnpike continued through Shifnal to Woodcote, where it joined another turnpike (now the A41 road). This continuation is now classified as the B4379 and the A4169 road.

The stretch immediately beyond Sutton Cross was part of the Madeley turnpike district, going to the Bucks Head on Watling Street. This was turnpiked in 1764, continuing southeast to the New Inn on Rudge Heath, but that stretch of road was evidently not improved until the 1960s, when it was upgraded to become the B4176. The northern terminus was altered in 1827 when the road from Balls Hill in Dawley to Bucks Head was discontinued in favour of an alternative route to Watling Street. The course of the road was altered again when a new major road was built to take traffic through the built-up area of Telford New Town in the 1970s. Some of the old routes have completely disappeared.

The next section of the old route is from Watling Street to the smithy at Crudgington. The first part of this is now the A5223 road, but the new course of A442 then rejoins the old one. This was turnpiked in 1725 with the Shrewsbury to Crackley Bank section of Watling Street.

Further sections of the road are also former turnpikes.

Talk:Johnny Marr

Untitled
I thought Johnny Marr at least deserved to have a photo up along with his article so I uploaded this one I found on foreverill. I tried finding an email address on that site so I could ask if this photo was okay to use, but seeing as I couldn't find one I went ahead. If anyone (or Mr. Marr himself) have an issue with the photo, please change it! -- goldenorb82

Seems like whoever wrote this is defending Marr's guitar style by saying it's considerably more difficult to play than most "hair metal" solos. Is it necessary to say that, or is it fine to say that his guitar lines are considerably more difficult to play than they sound? --Domukaz

Hi Domukaz -- I did not write this article, but I do think it could use a bit of refinement especially since parts of it sound a bit more like a fan page than an objective biography of the artist. I think some historical info on Johnny Marr's formative guitar years (before he formed the Smiths) would be good to add and some expansion on his work after the Smiths might be nice too. I personally like the way you reworded the sentence on the comparison to hair metal bands; I would just go ahead and edit it if you want. --goldenorb82

The hair metal line sounds a bit POV to me, or at least slightly irrelevant. Marr's Smiths-era guitar playing, while indeed technically intricate, and perhaps much more so than hair metal guitar parts, was never actually intended to compete with metal anyway. His playing, being influenced by Chuck Berry, Keith Richards, et al, mainly harked back to 1960s pop acts, and eventually progressed to taking in 70s influences - MC5, Stooges, T Rex. It's worth bearing in mind The Smiths, featuring Johnny as chief composer, were more about consciously using pop as a communicative medium, which they felt was not being done at the time. So, in Marr's playing and composition, it'd be more accurate to state his sound was intentionally different from contemporary pop musicians, as that is who he was intending to be compared to rather than different from hair metal musicians, as - while true - that is merely incidental. --ToneLa

Agreed. The whole Musicianship section sounds POV to my ears. If no-one else wants to tackle it, I'll work on it when I have some time. It shouldn't be tough to dig up outside sources (e.g. guitar magazines) to support a more balanced description of his playing style and innovations. RedEarth 17:57, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Tagged for cleanup
I tagged this article for cleanup because of its pervasive errors of grammar, style, and punctuation, especially in the introductory paragraph.

I've now cleaned up the areas in question and removed the tag. It's no featured article but imo it doesn't require cleanup anymore. --Soulchild

I think another shot at cleanup needs to be taken here, especially the very last section. The grammar is so bad it's nearly incomprehensible. --mmoskwa

Discography
Have expanded the discography somewhat. Anticipating any comments about the length of it now, I do think that Johnny's odd-jobbing down the years is as noteworthy (and in some cases more so) than some of his "proper band material". However, perhaps it could be tidied up by using tables (I'd leave this to someone else though) and/or there may be a case for looking at whether some of it is needed or not (difficult to work out a consistent rule, though). --88.110.50.140 17:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Oasis
Article claims Mr. Marr played on Oasis' Heathen Chemistry album yet the album's article page doesn't show any indication that Johnny Marr played on it. Is there someone with a copy of the album who can verify this by looking in the sleeve notes?

Try googling "johnny marr" "heathen chemistry" --88.109.55.199 23:03, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Split
I am thinking that now that the discography has been expanded that it warrants its own article. The simple fact that he has played on so many records i think explains why it is notable enough for its own article. I know that argument is a little cyclical but i think it works. He is clearly an in-demand guitar player and now that he is in Modest Mouse he will only be releasing more records. Thesloth 09:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Split I agree. If the article was respectively lengthened, the discography would still warrant its own page by its length. As of now, it should be split just because it is so disproportionately long compared to the rest of the article. --76.214.226.199 02:43, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I also agree, to all of the points stated above. Anyone against? Cambrant 01:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I also agree, particularly with the proportional point. Johnny Sumner (talk) 15:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm against it, this is his page and why need two pages of him? Its one person, and if someone is so interested in him, wouldn't they read the whole thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.218.83.194 (talk) 07:37, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Is he a vegetarian?
Is there any evidence for this, other than the album Meat Is Murder, of which Morrissey chose the title? (Midnightblueowl (talk) 11:08, 11 May 2008 (UTC))

I believe he is actually a vegan. However, here is an interview where he refers to himself as a vegetarian: http://foreverill.com/interviews/post87/johnnymarr.htm --78.148.64.243 (talk) 23:42, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Rickenbacker
http://foreverill.com/interviews/post87/antihero.htm I think it's a bit wrong for everyone to just assume that Johnny played a Rickenbacker all the time. He really played other guitars more, as a whole, than Rics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BuddyOfHolly (talk • contribs) 01:08, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I was under the impression that Johnny's main axe on the early Smiths albums was a vintage Telecaster. This may be an example of the 'jangle' meme meaning everyone assumes that someone with a clean, chiming guitar tone must be playing the same guitar as Roger McGuinn. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.169.33 (talk) 20:23, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

http://www.jmarr.com/johnny-marr/johnny-marr-guitars-archives.php <- This is Johnny's site, where he says he used a Ric 330 for all of the first album, which contradicts his statement I posted above. I believe it was a Tele, like he said before, especially since he said he was never crazy for McGuinn like people say. --BuddyOfHolly (talk) 20:17, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

http://foreverill.com/interviews/post87/guitar.htm Another interview where he says it was mostly Tele. Anyway, point made. --BuddyOfHolly (talk) 00:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Maher vs. Marr
Shouldn't there be some discussion about the origin of his "Johnny Marr" moniker? I heard this was a play off a French phrase, but don't have a reference for this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.171.70 (talk) 18:09, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

 * - I think there definitely should be. I have read about him changing his name because of the Buzzcock's drummer, but the "J'en ai marre"-pun which you probably mean (translating to "I'm fed up") has also been floating around. --134.2.190.254 (talk) 13:04, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

 * FYI, in Ireland the surname "Maher" is basically pronounced as "Marr" -- the H is essentially silent. (Strictly speaking it's more like "Maar" -- the "a" is closer to the "a" in "man" rather than "mars").
 * So his choice of "Marr" as a pseudonym is probably nothing more than a phonetic approximation of his surname as it should be pronounced (and as he probably pronounced it himself -- his parents had both emigrated from Ireland in their teens so surely still retained their Irish accents). Not the first time a musician has done this -- see also Jon Bon Jovi (Bongiovi). Much more likely than the "French pun" idea mentioned above.

Modest Mouse
In the Modest Mouse section, there is the text "The new album reached number one on the American Billboard charts in late March 2007." I think it should be stated which album that is - "new" is getting older over the years ... BNutzer (talk) 00:13, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

End of Marr's association with The Cribs
Just to say that this page seems out of date as it was revealed at Reading Fest this year that Marr was leaving the Cribs... Don't know if you want to research this further. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.244.81.20 (talk) 21:06, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Date error - In August 1940, Marr left the group
Hi,

Never done this before so not really sure what to do. Anyway the sentence "In August 1940, Marr left the group" is an obvious error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.240.185.194 (talk) 10:25, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Missing a date
Does anyone have a date for:

Having resided in Portland, Oregon, for more than five years, the family returned to Britain for Marr to record his solo album in Manchester.

It is vital to include information on the Monochrome Set as Johnny Marr has stated in the past, no Monochrome Set no Smiths. https://www.cccb.org/en/participants/file/the-monochrome-set/214217 Aradicus77 (talk) 22:31, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
