Paula Creamer to B-class?
Do they know the truth about who you really are "crunch"?. It's just a matter of time before everyone knows... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.184.42.8 (talk • contribs)  at 19:24, 1 January 2012

I've done some work on the Paula Creamer article and feel that it deserves an upgrade, but Grovermj, the leader of the Golf WikiProject, is apparently on a school break. You work on more LPGA bios than anyone else here, so could you please take a look at it and tell me if it's ready for a B rating among Golf articles, and if not, what it needs? Thanks. Giants2008 (talk) 14:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your advice. I'll work on the things you pointed out and get back to you. While working on the article I found a problem with one of the templates. For more details please read the following message. Giants2008 (talk) 16:56, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * After several days of editing, the article looks a lot better. Here's what I did:
 * I more than doubled the number of references. A couple of statements that were false or unverifiable were removed.
 * The dashes should be fine now. I also made a few grammar changes to the article. I won't guarantee that I caught everything, though.
 * Several unreliable websites were removed. All links now look good to me.
 * She's no longer "cruising" "with ease" (especially not with her showing this week). As for the other statement, I reworded it to: "After her strong first-year performance, Creamer's 2006 season was not as successful." Hopefully that works better.
 * I moved the two sections today. I agree with you that they are a better fit there.
 * When you finish updating pages following the final round today, please let me know if it's good enough for B-class now. Giants2008 (talk) 19:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Success! I took the article to WikiProject Biography/Assessment, and within 20 minutes got an upgrade to B-Class. Thanks again for the help! Giants2008 (talk) 15:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

U.S. Solheim Cup template
Do they know the truth about who you really are "crunch"?. It's just a matter of time before everyone knows... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.184.42.8 (talk • contribs)  at 19:24, 1 January 2012

The template for the 2007 U.S. Solheim Cup team has an omission. It should be stated that Beth Daniel was the assistant captain, but the template doesn't indicate that, unlike the European template. You would think the American team had 13 players, when we both know that isn't true. Once the information is added, the template will gain an extra line, possibly messing up the formatting. I am still relatively new here, and am unsure of myself when it comes to formatting issues. Could you please give me a hand with this one? Giants2008 (talk) 17:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * After giving it some thought, I now think the assistant captains shouldn't be in either the U.S. or European templates. The Ryder Cup templates don't mention assistants, and the articles don't either. The only information about team Europe's assistant that I found said she was announced by the captain. It doesn't say that she was named by Helen Alfredsson. This article on the American team is also unclear. Since you seem to be the leading authority on women's golf here, I'll let you make the final call. Giants2008 (talk) 23:38, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking care of the European template. After I noticed your change, I removed Daniel from the American template myself. They are consistent with the Ryder Cup templates now, which is how it should be. With this issue taken care of, I will now get back to my other work. Giants2008 (talk) 19:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Edits
Thank you. I will remember to list what kind of edits I am making in the future.Koollatter (talk) 5:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the warm welcome, and the resources as well. I'm curious about your comment that the page isn't only limited to Bivens's tenure as commissioner; I'm new to the world of Wikipedia, so it may be the mathematician in me speaking, but doesn't the article's classification as a golf-related article delimit the scope of relevant information to events pertaining to her activities in that particular domain? Or does golf-related serve as a symlink, to point golf-interested people to articles that may have some but not exclusive relevance to the world of golf? Wikitology (talk) 04:25, 30 March 2010 (UTC) I hadn't caught your full explanation on the discussion page. That clarifies things. Cheers, Wikitology (talk) 05:17, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Category confusion
What is the purpose of Category:Female golfers? At first glance, it seems like it should be for female golfers who aren't/weren't members of a major tour. This has recently been added to Paula Creamer and Annika Sörenstam, and a couple other LPGA golfers already had it. The user who added them was the same one who added Category:LPGA Tour golfers to Michelle Wie. Should this category be added to all other female golfers, or are these good-faith edits gone wrong? (P.S. - Good luck fighting the Australian vandals. I'll watch for suspicious edits as well.) Giants2008 (talk) 17:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Changes to golf tournament names
Yes, the changes are quite irritating. I hadn't noticed the LPGA changes, but this user (or users) have been changing Ladies European Tour names for almost a year now, on and off. Look at the page history :-) The IP address changes frequently, but they all seem to come from Australia.  It started last June 1, right when Golf Punk magazine became the title sponsor for one of the events (timing may have been a coincidence).  Most of the time the sponsors are more-or-less correct, but these full names go well beyond even what the ladieseuropeantour.com schedule has.  They have also changed the external schedule link on the LET page to a Japanese-language LPGA of Japan schedule (this past february) and xtube.com (just recently).  I also recall changes to the Evian Masters page, but I had not noticed these IPs changing other articles recently, but obviously they have.  I'm really not sure what can be done, especially since the IP changes so much (and between entirely different network blocks too).  The name-changers have never once discussed anything on a talk page, as far as I've seen. The name changes on the LET page have been nearly identical every time. Very odd situation. Carl Lindberg (talk) 19:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Ah interesting, I hadn't seen that the LPGA changes started even earlier than the LET ones (though they are more persistent on the latter). I was never sure if it was really vandalism... at one point they changed the LET schedule link to the Japanese-language LPGA of Japan schedule... at that point I was wondering if this was a non-English speaker.  Other changes like using formal names for players though were also odd... and the recent linking to xtube.com pretty much shows that it was vandalism.  It is still pretty odd, and I'm not sure there is much that can be done except continue to revert.  Maybe short-term semiprotection on days they are active; these articles usually don't need to change that often.  Thanks for the help though ;-) Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Is this a good addition?
I have another question for you: Should this incident be added to the relevant biographies? This was not added at the time, but the articles were smaller back then. I'm concerned about this both ways. There are no controversial moments in Creamer's article, and Sorenstam's only controversy is her PGA Tour appearance, which is unreferenced with the exception of Vijay's comments. At the same time, I don't want to put undue weight on this. I trust your opinion, so your thoughts would be appreciated. Giants2008 (talk) 01:50, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Once again, thanks for your guidance. The major problem in my eyes is that this doesn't seem to fit anywhere. I don't believe a Criticism section should be added for one incident. In related articles, I've only seen a similar section for Michelle Wie, a player who has had numerous controversies and provokes strong opinions. My plan was to add a sentence or two at the end of the 2005 season, mentioning how Creamer wanted to knock off Annika, but this may not flow that well either. In the end, it looks like WP:UNDUE applies here. Giants2008 (talk) 14:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Dollar amounts for Wie Ladies German Open
Crunch, you entered the dollar amount 11,274 for Wie's winnings (8750 euro) I then entered the correct amount and proved a link for how it was calculated ie 13,601 as at that exchange rate on that day. link reference: http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=8750+euro+in+dollars&meta=

You then proceeded to change my entry to a new figure 12,156 Where did you get either of these figures ie 11,274 and 12,156 My figures are correct. Please undo your latest entry. --Stanley delaney2 (talk) 18:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Crunch for that. Just to let you know, the figure I quoted ie 13601 was from the exchange rate the day the money was won (probably most accurate to use), but your new figure 13563 is close enough, so I'm happy enough to leave it at that. Thanks for your speedy response. --Stanley delaney2 (talk) 00:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll give you three guesses who this is about
After all the work I put in to get Paula Creamer promoted to B-class, a new C-class is being adopted, and B-class standards will be raised. This is a great thing for the site, but I'm concerned that Creamer's article could be in line for a demotion. I feel bad asking you for more advice, but I'm interested to see what your opinion is on this. For your convenience here's a link to Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment, where the new guidelines are being discussed (look under Rewrite process, B-class). Thanks for this and all your previous help. Giants2008 (talk) 03:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Jee Young Lee
Is her name not Lee Jee-young as per Korean naming standards? bigissue (talk) 10:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Her notability is not is question, just the order of her names. Unless she has a preference for the westernised order, I would still be inclined to change it as per Naming conventions (Korean). bigissue (talk) 11:22, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed there are a large number of articles that are potentially wrongly titled, not just golfers. I suspect the majority are because the creators are unaware of the naming conventions and should be changed. If I ever get time, I'll think of some way of dealing with them. -- bigissue (talk) 16:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Williams sonomalogo.jpg

Refs
Sure, some of them are redundant (ie the same book has its info spelled out several times when it just needs to do it once and add a ref name), some are missing info like authors, some have unused parameters, etc. Plus, it helps to be consistent on a page, so writing all dates like 2008-12-19, writing them horizontally rather than long vertical lists, etc. Joshdboz (talk) 20:55, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It's just an aesthetic choice with regard to vertical or horizontal refs (granted, nobody reading the article will notice anything different!). If you want to change them all to vertical maybe just mention it on the Talk page first.  Joshdboz (talk) 22:36, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

New LPGA players photos
Hello, Keith Allison has made a trip to LPGA Championship again and released another set of photos on flickr. The ones I've transfered into commons are now under the commons:Category:2009 LPGA Championship category. I guess you will want to use them in relevant infoboxes/articles.

Eun-Hee Ji Page
I'm the one who originally added the reference to her part in the English policy controversy. The edit you did is mostly fine with me, but I need out one thing and ask about something else.

You used a blog as a source for whether Ji speaks English or not. Aren't blogs considered not a legitimate source for references?

The placement of controversy section is way too low on the page. Golfers involved with controversy, Jane Blalock for one, have the section above their wins sections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamJE (talk • contribs) 14:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Wie edits
Thats not what I did at all. "I knew the rule wrong" is a portion of a very long quote taken from an interview. I merely decided to do a paraphrase because it is improper to cherry pick a portion of a quote, rather than include the whole quote. The whole quote is long and hence why I chose to redo it as a paraphrase. Note I did change the edit back leaving the quote in and then paraphrasing the wrest of her quote as a compromise. The paraphrase was of the exact meaning of her statement only shorter. Did you read the whole quote? its a long one, or did an article cherry pick this quote from the interview, and you read the article. The quote comes from a television interview. MATThematical (talk) 17:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

There is another reason why I chose not to include the whole quote. It is filled with things like "ums", repeats of previous statements, and in general bad English. It would hurt the flow of the article to include it. Basically "I knew the rule wrong" didn't really explain whether she didn't know she wasn't allowed to ground the club, or whether hitting a loose impediment on a back swing before continuously swinging through it is grounding the club. Its notable that the announcers agreed with her at the time, so apparently many people know the rule wrong. The quote makes it seem like this is just a simple rule she new wrong, when in fact it is an obscure rule that most golfers are unaware of, even at the professional level. I will retry to write the quote with a few ...s, to try make it shorter and more readable. But definitely review my work on this. I am not used to editing quotes. I tried to keep a very neutral point of view in my paraphrase. MATThematical (talk) 18:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I completely agree if the section is about her bad grammar, or if the quote is still understandable despite the bad grammar. But in a section about about a particular topic a quote that has bad grammar can distract the reader from the topic at hand. I don't care about casting Wie in a good or bad light, I prefer to keep a neutral point of view. If you want to add a bad grammar section to the article, go ahead, but you have to understand that this is an encyclopedia, and that means sticking to an organized structure. You can't just stick quotes throughout the article with bad grammar haphazardly. Do you think adding Michelle Wie's response to this incident really adds anything to the article anyway, can you please tell me why you think it should be included. By the way, I added the exact quote, with one "..." where she talks about some irrelevant stuff, pretty much all the bad grammar is included, its not atrocious enough that it distracts from the meaning or is any worse than most sports persons interviews.

Most articles on golfers do not have the golfers response to the incident, unless they added something interesting or pointed out something knew. The statement to the effect of, I knew the rule wrong...I thought if you swung through it everything would be ok, doesn't really add anything to the description of the incident in my opinion. But now that it explains how she knew the rule wrong I think its better. Before it was a worthless quote for an encyclopedic article. MATThematical (talk) 15:22, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kara Kennedy Allen
A tag has been placed on Kara Kennedy Allen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ColinFine (talk) 17:23, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

This seems like a mightily impromper speedy to me – it's two years after the original AfD, the content of the new article isn't just a repost, and there's at least a plausible argument that her notability level has changed since then. I think the place to appeal it is WP:DRV. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:34, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

The instructions are at DRV. But per those instructions, you should probably first post something about this at User talk:Jake Wartenberg, since he's the admin who did the speedy. Looks like you contact two other admins, which is less effective. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:10, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Streamlining the Wie article
I just made an attempt to help streamline the article, based on the consensus on the talk page that has been up for a while. It had a ridiculous amount of detail, and still does. I deleted some results in tournaments that were just silly to mention. However, I did not delete very many (if any I don't remember) missed cuts because someone might view that as not being neutral, but I think a lot of it needs to go. I think only her (a) near wins, not just a top 10 finish but one where she was in the running in the final few holes, (b) results in majors, (c) results in male tournaments, (d) interesting facts and tid bits, and (e) controversial withdraws/dqs are worthy of mentioning. I also deleted her results chart that had every tournament result in it she has ever competed in as a professional, that was just silly and a waste of space I think, no other golfer has this. Anyways, I was wandering if you would be willing to look over my changes and cut some more stuff out yourself. I think you would probably do a much better job than me, but i thought I would get the ball running for other editors. thanks, MATThematical (talk) 18:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't being disrespectful to the wiki process, there was a discussion about this you started a while back on the talk page 2006 - 2008, and of those chiming in everyone agreed upon streamlining. You claimed that this was resolved, but how is anyone suppose to know that when you don't say anything about resolving it on the talk page. Clearly the article looks like this discussion was not resolved, although if you acted on it a year ago, I can see how it probably has come forth again. I guess you made the edit about a year ago, since that is when someonesle agreed upon the streamline after you did. Did you really wait 2 years to take action? If you made the edit beofre then, didn't then the newer comment shows that other people don't think the issue was resolved.

I never intended to do a wide spread edit without consensus. Don't make it sound like I just made this up out of no where, and that there is "obviously" no such discussion on the issue. You knew what discussion I was referring to, and all you had to say was "matthematical made an edit referring to a consensus in 2008 that was resolved. Since then the problem has reoccurred and so he likely edited this article thinking that the original discussion was not acted upon." The way the statement is currently phrased, it practically calls me a liar. I really feel like the statement should be revised so that it gives me the benefit of the doubt.

On a separate issue, I am not sure what the etiquette is for editing the wiki after making a suggestion on the talk page. Do you have to wait until someone replies to the suggestion before you do it? In that case you would have to wait 2 years before you could make the changes you proposed in 2006. Is this standard or does it have to do with it being an article of a living person? Or is no one commenting on the suggestion after a given period of time justification for doing the edit. If so how long is long enough before one can just go ahead and do the edit? These tricky questions are what led me to just doing the edit and then commenting on people's talk pages who frequently edit the wie article to go over the changes, that and the discussion that was apparently acted upon a while ago but based on the current state it didn't look like it was acted upon. Those two issues is what made me go ahead and do the edit. I wouldn't just do the edit without thinking there was some consensus. MATThematical (talk) 22:42, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Obviously I'm not a prankster, my history shows that, and my edits were very reasonable (although granted major and deserved a larger discussion). If I were a prankster why would i ask you to take a look at my changes. Anyway, based on your response it sounds like you made the change in 2006 even though no one replied to your suggestion. So Ill ask again, as it was the most important part of my above post (I am trying to learn wiki etiquette). How long in general should one wait for a reply before doing a major edit? Wikipedia has a different etiquette as does wikispot wikis so I am trying to learn it by reading the basic pages on it, but there seems to be many nuances that are not covered. To be honest, when I first made the edit I didn't notice that your edit was 2006, I just saw the post below it and assumed that it was a fairly current conversion, and stupidly didn't check the dates. They looked like the same issue to me, but i have no idea what the page looked like in 2006. MATThematical (talk) 23:23, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Some months back you moved the ADT article to LPGA Tour Championship. They are not considered the same tournament. I'll cite the LPGA's microsite as proof.

http://www.lpga.com/tournament_microsite.aspx?id=18532

It clearly states the 2009 version is the inaugural event. I could also add there was a golf article written today that says the ADT may be back in 2011.

2010 U.S. Women's Open
I noticed you were the one who changed an edit of mine regarding the entrants with the comment (paraphrasing), "show all or show none." I'll tell you why I did it my way.

I planned to show players in the same manner that they're listed in all articles for the men's major championships—for example, the 2010 U.S. (men's) Open. The standard for listing the fields in articles on individual men's majors is to show players EXACTLY ONCE in the first category by which they are qualified, but list remaining categories with each player in parentheses.

Hope you understand my rationale... :) — Dale Arnett (talk) 06:04, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Yani Tseng and Patty Berg
I saw you needed to ammend what I wrote. First of all, I wrote that Tseng was the youngest in the modern era. Second of all, Berg's Titleholder wins count as Major Championships by the LPGA even though the LPGA wasn't founded then. I emailed Mike Scanlan at the LPGA to notify him of the discovery. Six months ago I found out via an old news article on the internet that Kathy Whitworth won the same tournament five times just like Se Ri Pak, Annika Sorenstam, and Mickey Wright. The press reported Pak, Sorenstam, and Wright as only doing it. Guess what? Check the LPGA record books have been corrected.

Are wikipedia articles supposed to have wrong information because a source or sources are mistaken when at the same time another source is out there with the correct information? I mean articles on Whitworth, Minnie Rojas, and Kristin Gilibrand would all have to be changed. You'll find dozens of articles or blog posts written in 2009 after Nick Adenhart died that said Minnie Rojas was paralyzed in 1968 or 1969 when in fact you search Google news and find out it happened in 1970.- William 00:41, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

A point to one of your points at my talk section. You said the LPGA says Tseng is the youngest to win three majors. In 2007 the LPGA also said Pak, Sorenstam, and Wright were the only LPGA golfers to win the same tournament five times.

Scottish Rite Cathedral
I usually don't chase on AfD comments, but your vote rationale is directly contradictory to facts in the article. The basis of the AfD is that the building is not (and this is clearly stated in the article) on the National Register of Historic Places and is therefore not notable. It is eligible, but its listing was declined by the owner. So I've got a minor issue with your vote of "keep because it's on the NRHP" (because it isn't). Your vote is up to you, but could you at least do something with the rationale? MSJapan (talk) 01:39, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I should have paid attention to the source a little more (I lookeda t the title and not the URL), so let me further clarify - nhrp.com is not considered a reliable source by the NHRP WP, because it is often incorrect (as it is in this case). MSJapan (talk) 01:45, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It is technically correct of MSJapan to point out that the NRHP.COM webpage is incorrect in the NRHP listing status of this one; the place is not in fact NRHP-listed due to an owner objection, which the NRHP.COM website does not capture/portray properly. However, the NRHP.COM mention is just an imperfect indicator of the status of this place within the NRHP's official NRIS database, where in fact it is indicated as NRHP-eligible on the given date.  NRHP.COM just gets the status wrong, not the actual notability of the place, which it gets correctly, along with other facts about the place. --doncram (talk) 04:58, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for taking the time to weed through that Fancrufty summary. I thought mine was succinct, but at least expanded just enough to make it relevant, but fantards always take it further. I was too lazy to sift through and remove the excess of that other Wiki-user, but I appreciate it =).

Oh, and I also agree about Peach only being singled out via the editing, especially because it didn't find the precedent of 'being the last two remaining in contention for the win'. Only if the other four were dismissed, I suppose, would it qualify. Agreed?

P.S. Just for kicks, do you have any favorites? I'd have to go with Valerie and Mondo--they're the most consistent and intriguing. But I like most/all of Team Underdog, plus Michael C., especially April and Peach, because they're the most entertaining.

Rachel Campos-Duffy
I do not know that it is documented; It is merely my observation after editing so many biographical articles in the past five and a half years. Generally, material on a person's life from their birth to when they're career started falls under "Early life" (child actors being a notable exception). The phrase pertains to everything up when a person's career began, and/or when they became a public, and thus "and education" is redundant. Nightscream (talk) 18:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

You edited in- (In 2005, Paula Creamer set the record for the youngest winner of a 72-hole tournament; Creamer was 18 years 9 months and 17 days at the time.)

 * Youngest since 1872, Young Tom Morris is that man. The term modern era is an ambigiously vague undefinable mess. weasel words is what modern era is to Yani Tseng.  This is the sentence that should idealy go their regardless if it makes the main page in the news.  "Tseng is the youngest golfer male or female since 1872 to win four major championships."  I would highly advise you to take out modern era, unless you can find some reliable sources to define it and make use of it in this context.  My sentence is correct and straightest the point. I just want wikipedia to be historically correct and not use terms unless we can correctly define them.  This is not to be taken as an afront to you, but just a difference amongst good wikipedia editors.  I respect what you have meant to the golf project and community!SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 05:03, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * True that "modern era" is vaguge, but obviously Morris won his tournaments in a completely different era when there were far fewer tournaments. Simply saying, "since 1872" doesn't work I don't because it implies that in 1872 golf was even remotely similar to what it is now and it wasn't. I can work to clarify this later today. I don't have time now. --Crunch (talk) 11:25, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Candie Kung is a United States Citizen
From a interview at the 2008 Evian Masters

Q. Is it true that you learned how to play in the states not in Korea? CANDIE KUNG: First of all, I'm not from Korea. I'm from Taiwan. Yes, I didn't play golf when I was in Taiwan. I picked up golf when we moved to the U.S.

DANA GROSS-RHODE: When was that? CANDIE KUNG: That was back in 1995.

Q. Are you a U.S. citizen as well? CANDIE KUNG: Yes I am.

Q. How long have you been a U.S. citizen? CANDIE KUNG: I would say about three, four years.

Q. Does that mean you have a dual nationality, dual citizenship? '''You have two citizenships? CANDIE KUNG: No. I only have U.S. passport.'''

http://web.archive.org/web/20080728084639/http://www.ladieseuropeantour.com/content/let_content_interview.php?Id=15849

Kung calls herself a U.S. citizen. Case closed and the LPGA, who insists on still having her as Taiwanese, is wrong- William 21:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

 * It was your recent edits here and here that listed Kung as Taiwanese. BTW you can reply back to me here. I will see it.William 00:12, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I was following the designation listed in the official results. She's listed as Taiwanese in all official results. I don't think it's our job to change the official results and she may have a reason for choosing to designate her nationality as Taiwanese even though she no longer reported that she no longer holds a Taiwan passport. --Crunch (talk) 00:17, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

 * No its the LPGA and the media being lazy or sloppy.(Look at the same media interview. Somebody in the press tent thought Kung was South Korean! I can cite a Florida golf writer who called Brazilian born US Naturalized citizen Angela Park 'South Korean'. His reply- Angela Park's parents both are South Korean. She was born while they were living in Basil. I think it would be an insult to her not to acknowledge her natural heritage. He decides she's South Korean) Trust me as someone who has ferreted out mistakes in the LPGA recordbooks, two examples Kathy Whitworth not being listed as a 5-time winner of the same LPGA tournament and Patty Berg actually being the youngest LPGA major champion, Mickey Wright shooting double eagle before Marilynn Smith did, the tour knows they're mistakes but will or won't fix them on a individual basis.

Kung is the decided on the case. She said no she has no to having two citizenships.- William 00:31, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Nope. One interview, that was translated from French to English by the way, is not the definitive source. The definitive source for tournament results is the official tournament results. End of story. If you have ever seen her play in person you will notice she also has a Taiwan flag on her golf bag. That generally signifies nationality.  I'm wondering if the 2008 interview was just an errant translation.--Crunch (talk) 00:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Nothing lost in the translation at all. From the LPGA's own website!

http://web.archive.org/web/20080806032307/http://www.lpga.com/content_1.aspx?mid=2&pid=16670 English speaking interviewer, English speaking interviewee, English speaking people transcribing the press conference.- William 00:48, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Read the transcript again. In it she is first asked if she has US citizenship as well and she says yes, which indicates dual citizenship, then when pressed she says she only has one passport. I think it's obvious she didn't understand the question. She can be a dual citizen and not have a Taiwanese passport.  I believe she is a dual citizen and I doubt the LPGA has been getting it wrong all these years. I think our conversation here is done. --Crunch (talk) 01:34, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I got to say one more thing. For you to be twisting the interview to support your idea she is a dual citizen is completely two-faced because when this conversation started the first thing you brought up here

 * I am very aware of Candie Kung's citizenship status. In fact, it was me who added the information about her citizenship and the reference you just posted on my Talk page. I added this in 2009. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Candie_Kung&oldid=292556103) Was your latest comment to me in relation to something I've added or edited recently?

 * You yourself put in the reference from the LET website to back up she was a U.S. citizen without dual citizenship. Now you're arguing she might be dual. That's so like Tewapack. One reference for a nickname is perfectly valid if he puts it in, not so good for another editor(till they supply a backup reference). Both of you set your policies on which way the wind blows- William 01:48, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Your less than brilliant LPGA Corning Classic edit
Why don't you make sure what the heck you're doing in the first place. Recently I corrected your horrendously wrong edit to Reilly Rankin. Today I cleaned up your work on the LPGA Corning Classic. Instead of correcting the wrong information that Yani Tseng held both the aggregate and to par records for the tournament, you instead changed the to par to the lowest 18 hole marks. The to par, is for under par for the length of the tournament. I cite for you Honda LPGA Thailand, ShopRite LPGA Classic, Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic for examples. Tseng shot 267 -21 in 2009 but Juli Inkster shot 264 -24 in 2003. You even Juli in your mistaken edit! The right answers were right in front of you. I keep cleaning up other people's garbage in these articles. It's a long list.- William 19:54, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Please do not continue to address me in the rude manner you have, here: Your_less_than_brilliant_LPGA_Corning_Classic_edit The error you fixed on LPGA Corning Classic and claim to be have been made by me, was not by me, but by User:Paralympic at 20:58 on 12 July 2009.  The Rankin year error was a typo and was my mistake. We all make them as this post from you on my Talk page proves ("You even Juli in your mistaken edit!").   Anyway, I'm sure User:Paralympic appreciates the correction on LPGA Corning Classic and I appreciate the correction on Reilley Rankin. Cleaning up errors, formatting, grammar, etc. is part of what happens on Wikipedia.  If it frustrates you to "clean up other people's garbage,"  perhaps Wikipedia is not the place for you.  Again, I ask that you follow Wikipedia etiquette and please be civil.  Thank you. --Crunch (talk) 20:24, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

 * You apparently have trouble reading. The edit had you changing the to par scores from one wrong edit to another. Look closely, -10 Juli Inkster, Yani Tseng, and Mika Miyazato was added by you. It's in red and the edit is yours. What is so hard to see? Just like Tewapack you can't admit your double standards or mistakes you make.- William 22:16, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

The use of blogs as sources for golf sources
You edited one out as a reference once saying in your summary 'remove blog reference per Wikipedia standards'

The self published and questionable sources part of WP:reliable sources states- "Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control.

There are quite a few golf journalists that blog. Randall Mell and Beth Ann Baldry of Golfweek, Ron Sirak of Golf World, Craig Dolch of PGATour.com. The reference you removed, was a blog at the Palm Beach Post newspaper, written by Edgar Thompson. These are media journalists(and others like them) per the WP guidelines and can be considered reliable sources.

Here's another area you may be less familar with. Individual bloggers who have been credentialed to write at Pro golf tournaments. Stephanie Wei of Wei Under Par, Geoff Schakelford, The Constructivist at Mostly Harmless, and Bill Jempty at OTB Sports to name a few. Using these as sources, if any of these bloggers are doing independent reporting, can be used for references but you have to scrutinize what they're writing. All four I mention above are pretty clear if they're reporting on their own or just taking news from another site via a link.

Trust me that these bloggers when reporting have to be careful. The tours can pull credentials very easy or use the threat as leverage. I know from personal experience. I'm one of those four independent bloggers I listed up above, Bill Jempty.

This is a heads up. I didn't look at the reference you pulled except to see who the source was. Whether it helped the article or not, I don't know- William 22:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Maybe in an alternate universe
but in the real world Anna Nordqvist did not win 2009 LPGA Rookie of the Year like you wrote in an early edit of 2009 LPGA Tour. JiYai Shin was ROY.

Anyone who followed the LPGA in 2009 knows Shin was trying to become the first golfer since Nancy Lopez to get POY and ROY honors.- William 02:49, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

The LPGA can't be wrong about a tournament's name....Try again
Case in point- The 1976 Women's International. It is listed here and here] by the name Ladies Masters at Moss Creek at the LPGA website.

Read this and its references- '''When the tournament was first announced in January 1976 it was titled the Ladies Masters and sponsors said they would pattern the event similar to the Masters Tournament.Ladies Masters added to LPGA slate in May. A little over a month later the LPGA announced the tournament's name was being changed to the Women's International. Ladies' Masters changes name This happened after Masters Tournament officials contacted the tournament's sponsor and threatened to go to court unless the word Masters wasn't removed from the tournament title.

LPGA is denied Masters name

Sally Little, an eventual winner of 15 LPGA tournaments including two major championships, won the inaugural Women's International by one shot over Jan Stephenson after holing out from a sand trap on the tournament's 72nd hole.Sally Little captures first LPGA win'''

The Tournament was the Women's International not the Ladies Masters as the LPGA says. I consider we reopen the Sanford Women's Open and retitle it appropriately. I'm posting this to tewapack's and the the tournament discussion page. Make comment at the latter if you have any.- William 20:25, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect views on wiki guidelines
"As I said, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt for being new to Wikipedia and not understanding that you can't go in and make widespread changes without asking for discussion and getting some sort of consensus." Please see [Wikipedia:Be_bold], as this statement isn't true. You absolutely can do this, editing and reverting is part of the proper wikipedia process. Even mentioning the word "prankster" to describe my edits even if it starts with something like "I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are not a prankster" is inappropriate. It would be like me starting off with "I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are not a bully who goes around ..." In addition words like "obviously" should be avoided in pretty much any discussion. If it's truly obvious you wouldn't need to say it. MATThematical (talk) 06:56, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * What discussion or article is this in reference to? --Crunch (talk) 16:24, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Sorry I am referring to the old Wie discussion. Anyways, I don't understand why you keep on making statements like "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a current news report only reporting what is most recent." Of course I know this, and to imply that anything I did or said is opposed to this philosophy is just out right wrong (or at best a subjective opinion). I never said controversies should be deleted. I said the quotes by Wie section should be deleted because it goes against Trivia_sections. I did say that controversies should be succinctly summarized and located in one place (either the controversies section or the play by play section) and not repeated. And I also said that controversies that are from minority points of view (like the one on her attire) should not be given undue weight. For major controversies related to play by play a quick one sentence or less description can be placed in the play by play section with the controversy section going into more detail, but any more repeats than that violates wikipedia's undue weight guidelines. I put a lot of work into cutting a lot of unnecessary language, more logically structuring some of the sections for better readability, and succinctly summarizing non-notable slumps, poor performance and average performances. I don't disagree with your new edits. They are fairly minor, and help improve the article. Thank you. MATThematical (talk) 17:09, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Kim Chuan Depot

Kim Chuan Depot is a train depot for the Mass Rapid Transit system in Singapore. The depot is constructed fully underground and provides maintenance, stabling and operational facilities for the Circle line. It is located in Hougang, along Upper Paya Lebar Road, and is accessible via Kim Chuan Road.

It used to be the first depot in Singapore to serve two independently operated MRT lines, until the adjacent Tai Seng Facility Building, became operational with the revenue operation of the Downtown line Stage 3 on 21 October 2017.

History
To facilitate the construction of the depot, part of the Kim Chuan Village was acquired in September 2000 for the construction of the depot and the road viaduct. The Kim Chuan Road was permanently closed from Hougang Avenue 3 to Kim Chuan Drive on 27 June 2002. On 25 October 2002, part of the Hougang Avenue 3 was realigned and on 25 November 2002, part of the Kim Chuan Road was closed.

The project cost S$297 million to construct and 2.1 million cubic metres of soil had to be excavated for its construction. Touted as the world's biggest underground depot, it officially opened on 4 March 2009, employing 300 staff members.

The depot was used for the temporary storage and light maintenance of rolling stock for the Downtown line, before the completion of the Tai Seng Facility Building. It also provided a route in which Downtown line trains can be towed from the depot to its operational line via the Circle line tracks. Once the main depot, Gali Batu Depot was completed with stage 2 of the Downtown line, Kim Chuan Depot simply provides a route for newly delivered Downtown line trains to be transferred in to the Tai Seng Facility Building.

Design
The depot has a capacity to stable 70 trains and covers an area of more than 100000 m2, reaching a depth of up to 24 m at some points. Specifically, the main depot floor is 800 m in length, 160 m in width, and 23 m in height. The facility contains the main operation control centre for the Circle line, maintenance facility, stabling areas, and ancillary facilities such as the train wash and workshops. It also houses an automatic storage and retrieval system, a warehouse that stores spare parts for the rolling stocks and other equipments. The depot is connected to the adjacent Tai Seng Facility Building on the east side of the facility and is operated in tandem with the Tai Seng Maintenance Facility.

The depot is accessible via an administration building along Kim Chuan Road, containing offices, a warehouse, a canteen and a 66 kilovolt substation is located above the depot. The remaining 3 ha of land left empty will be used for light industrial use with buildings on it up to 9 storeys high.

The depot is located between Tai Seng station and Bartley station on the Circle line and has 4 reception tracks: 2 tracks clockwise-bound towards Tai Seng station and 2 tracks anticlockwise-bound towards Bartley station.

Extension
On 29 October 2015, LTA announced the extension of Kim Chuan depot in tandem with the Circle line stage 6 extension. The extension called for the depot to be expanded underground to almost double its land area and stabling capacity from 70 to 133 trains. The integrated depot will also house 550 buses on the plot of land above the underground train depot.

The Contract 821A for the construction of Kim Chuan Depot extension and its associated facilities was awarded to Woh Hup (Private) Limited at a sum of S$1.21 billion in September 2017. Construction began in 2018, with completion in 2025.

The extension will be located along the northern perimeter of the Bartley Road East viaduct, north of the existing depot which is along the southern perimeter of the Bartley Road East viaduct.

Grand Power K100

The K100 is a 9×19mm semi-automatic pistol designed and built by Grand Power s.r.o. in Slovenská Ľupča, Slovakia located approximately 11 kilometers east of Banská Bystrica, Slovakia which is the region's major city.

Development
The K100 was developed by Jaroslav Kuracina, a former weapons officer in the Slovak Army. Kuracina sketched drawings of the K100 as early as 1992, but manufacturing activities were highly restricted during the early post-Communist era. Kuracina would be forced to wait until 1996 to continue development of his design. In 2007 Grand Power announced a deal to produce 100,000 units for the U.S. market in partnership with Texas-based handgun manufacturer STI International Inc. The first pistols were exported in 2008. They were K100 Mk6 pistols under the commercial name GP 6.

Design details

The K100 uses a rare rotating barrel locking system, similar in some ways to the Beretta Cougar, Beretta Px4 Storm, and Brügger & Thomet MP9, which in the K100's case is cammed by a cross pin. When the pistol is fired, the barrel and slide move backward together for about 3/8 of an inch while the barrel is cammed clockwise (with respect to the shooter) by a flat, twisting, helical "cut" in the barrel extension. Once the barrel and slide have moved back to the point where the barrel has twisted about 45°, the slide is free to continue traveling back while the barrel's travel is arrested by its interface to the frame via the barrel extension's square shoulders. On the K100, the Beretta's barrel extension cam cut, and transfer block's cam tooth, are replaced by a curled, twisting cut in the barrel extension, and a round, frame-embedded cross-pin respectively. As such, there is no transfer block (locking block) per se, and the barrel extension directly interfaces with the frame via the replaceable cross-pin. The design allows a low bore axis relative to the shooter's hand and avoids the use of the transfer/locking block typically found in rotating barrel pistols.

Both of the Berettas, and the K100, have the archetypal square shouldered lock protruding from the otherwise round barrel, easily visible at the ejection port with the slide fully forward. This square shoulder is rotated in behind a solid column of steel running the length of the slide forward of the ejection port, and on the left side out of view, when the slide and barrel are fully forward in battery. This locks the slide forward in battery. Given that the MP9 uses the same basic locking mechanism, and has a cyclical rate of fire of 900 rounds/min, the rotating barrel lock has shown itself to be capable of very fast lock times.

The thick walled barrel and other metal parts are treated by Tenifer QPQ technology. This hardens the metal components and increases resistance to corrosion.

The standard K100 has a barrel length of 108 mm and operates in both single- and double-action mode. The hammer must be manually decocked for carry in double-action mode with a chambered round. The safety can be applied with the hammer cocked, but can not be applied with the hammer in the forward position. The safety does not lock the slide. A decocking hammer group is available as an option on many models.

The ergonomically shaped polymer grip frame houses a steel receiver which provides the rails the slide travels on as well as hardpoints required for the trigger mechanism. The slide spring guide, safety, trigger, and trigger guard are polymer.

The pistol's toothy surface, and grooved grips, provide good grip even with wet hands. The K100 also features ambidextrous controls, supporting both left and right-handed users. Current production Grand Power pistols use a solid trigger guard and a new take down lever. They also have 4 user interchangeable grip backstraps to accommodate various hand shapes and sizes; this feature permits most shooters a comfortable and efficient grip on the firearm.

Additional models
K22S/K22 X-Trim - Two .22lr versions of the K100. The K22S has fixed sights, and the K22 X-Trim has adjustable sights. Both are manufactured on the same steel chassis and grip of the center-fire models, and have steel not zinc alloy slides. They are stand alone firearms, and not conversion kits. Using a direct blowback system rather than the rotary lock up, the rimfire barrels are dovetailed and pinned into the steel chassis.

P1 - 93 mm barrel and matching slide using the same frame.

P1S - 93 mm barrel and matching slide using the subcompact P11 frame/grip.

P1 Ultra - scalloped slide and exposed 93 mm barrel using the same frame. 40 g lighter than the P1.

P11 - 85 mm barrel and matching slide with subcompact frame/grip and 12-round magazine.

P9M - 93 mm barrel chambered in 9mm Makarov and matching slide using the same frame.

X-Trim - A sporting version of the K100 with a scalloped slide and tighter fit.

Target - An adjustable-sight version of the K100 featuring a micrometric adjustable rear and fiber optic front sight.

X-Calibur - For 2012, a new model with a longer fluted bull barrel and scalloped slide was introduced. Felt recoil and front sight lift is noticeably reduced.

P40/P45 - For 2013, a new larger grip frame sized to fit the .45 ACP cartridge was introduced. The P40 is chambered in .40 S&W, 10mm Auto and .357 SIG. The P45 is chambered in .45 ACP. Using the same rotary locking barrel system, and the same 108 mm barrel length, the larger-caliber guns use many of the same proven components of the 9mm models.

P40L/P45L - For 2014, a 127mm/5-inch barrel and corresponding slide model was added to the larger caliber line up. The P40L is chambered in .40 S&W, 10mm Auto and .357 SIG.

Q100 - A striker fired version of the K100 intended primarily for armed forces and self-defense. The Q100 has a 108mm barrel and the same modular grip as the K100. The initial version will be in 9x19.

Q1/Q1S - A shorter slide and barrel than the Q100, either on the standard full sized grip (Q1) or combined with the subcompact grip shared with the P11 and P1S (Q1S).

Bishan Depot

Bishan Depot or is a depot located on the Mass Rapid Transit in Bishan, Singapore. It was completed in 1986 by American architect Vikas M. Gore and the 12,000 square metres maintenance area at cost of S$300 million.

The depot comprises a storage yard with a capacity of 59 trains and has an area of 300,000 m2. The depot also houses a central maintenance facility with train overhaul facilities and supply of trains travelling on the North South line operated by SMRT. Bishan depot previously provided maintenance work for the East West line too, prior to the opening of the Tuas Depot. It also acts as a training centre for newly recruited staff, and is where the faregate operation department is located. The depot is located between Ang Mo Kio station and Bishan station on the North South line and has 3 reception tracks: 2 tracks northbound towards Ang Mo Kio station and 1 track southbound towards Bishan station.

Installation and Upgrading Shed
The rolling stock workshop and Tracks 10–12, built enclosed are where various programmes are conducted. Only five trains can undergo installation works during each 3- to 18-week period.
 * Refurbishment of C151 sets (from 2006 to 2008 as well as 2010 to 2013). Prior to the opening of Pioneer and Joo Koon, there were 94 trains in service at each time. It was increased to 96 in 2010, and finally to 106 in 2012.
 * Upgrading the signalling system (from 2014 to 2016) in all trains. It had increased the total cohort to 120 in 2014.

History
Nishimatsu-Lum Chang Joint Venture had won the contract 101 on 8 September 1984.

On 4 July 1985, there was a MRT mishap where four workers were trapped within 15 minutes. The MRT had built rail tracks for testing trains in 1986 -1987.

On 11 February 2007, SMRT Organised the ''SMRT Cram Jam! cum Learning Journey and Charity Bazaar'' to raise funds for the SMRT Silver Tribute Fund. The Cram Jam took place in the morning seeking an entry into the Singapore Book of Records by cramming people inside a standard Kawasaki C151 car (car used: 2027), a Mercedes O405G Hispano Habit bus (bus registered: TIB1202K) and a Ssangyong Rodius/Stavic MPV cab. The Singapore Police Force crammed 550 officers inside the train car, 235 staff from SMRT were crammed inside the bus and 44 Girl Guides Singapore cadets crammed themselves into the cab. Games, carnival food and a 90-minute tour around the Bishan Depot were organised.

A C751B MRT train was vandalised in an apparent security breach at Bishan Depot on 17 August 2011. The train was then put into service before the vandalism was discovered. The Land Transport Authority subsequently fined SMRT S$200,000 for failing to detect, in a timely manner, the graffiti on the train. On 15 July 2016, local and Australian media reported that between April and July 2015, two Americans Jim Harper and Danielle Bremner, posted a series of vandalism videos online under the pseudonyms Utah and Ether, with one video showing them committing the act at Bishan depot. Harper was arrested and jailed 6-months in May in Melbourne, Australia, while his partner is on the run.

Another incident of a MRT train being vandalized happened on a C151A set on 5 May 2014. Police reports were made in the early hours of the morning when trains were being dispatched from the depot.

A third case of vandalism took place on 8 November 2014 when two Germans, Andreas Von Knorre and Elton Hinz, spraypainted a cabin on a C151 train after breaking into the depot. They were each sentenced to nine months jail and given three strokes of the cane as per the Vandalism Act.

A technical officer working at the depot died as a result of his injuries sustained while operating a hydraulic press machine in the rolling stock shed on the morning of 23 March 2020. Following the accident, SMRT imposed a safety time-out and suspended maintenance works during the investigation period.

William Randolph

William Randolph I (bapt. 7 November 1650 – 21 April 1711) was an English-born planter, merchant and politician in colonial Virginia who played an important role in the development of the colony. Born in Moreton Morrell, Warwickshire, Randolph moved to the colony of Virginia sometime between 1669 and 1673, and married Mary Isham (ca. 1659 – 29 December 1735) a few years later. His descendants include many prominent individuals including Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, Paschal Beverly Randolph, Robert E. Lee, Peyton Randolph, Edmund Randolph, John Randolph of Roanoke, George W. Randolph, and Edmund Ruffin. Due to his and Mary's many progeny and marital alliances, they have been referred to as "the Adam and Eve of Virginia".

Early years
William Randolph was baptized in Moreton Morrell, Warwickshire, England on 7 November 1650. He was the son of Richard Randolph (21 Feb 1621 – 2 May 1678) and Elizabeth Ryland (21 Oct 1621 – 1669) of Warwickshire. Richard Randolph was originally from Little Houghton (also called Houghton Parva), a small village east of Northampton, where Richard Randolph's father, William, was a "steward and servant" to Edward la Zouche, 11th Baron Zouche (1556–1625), having previously served in that same capacity to Sir George Goring, a landowner in Sussex. William was the fourth of seven Randolph children.

Richard and Elizabeth moved to Warwickshire before the birth of their first child in Moreton Morrell in 1647. They lived within the "heart of Parliamentarian Warwickshire" throughout the end of the English Civil Wars. His family were among the Cavaliers who supported the king. In 1657, the last of their children was born in Moreton Morrell. The same year, Elizabeth's father was buried there. Then, the family moved to Dublin. His mother died there around 1669 and his father about two years later.

William's uncle, Henry Randolph (1623–1673), traveled to England and Ireland from Virginia in 1669, and sponsored William to emigrate to Colonial Virginia. He arrived without money and an axe. He arrived in an area replete with others whose families had also supported the king during the Civil War. His family had long been members of the court. William Randolph was in the colony by 12 February 1672 when he appears in the record as witness to a land transaction.

"These were men who had fought on the royal side in the Civil War in England and now sought refuge in Virginia. They were known as 'Cavaliers,’ and they gave Virginia a social atmosphere it never subsequently lost."

Career
The Chesapeake economy was centered around tobacco, grown within the English mercantile system for export to markets in Britain and Europe. Indentured servants and slaves supported the tobacco industry at that time. By 1674 Randolph imported 12 persons into the colony and thereby earned his first land patent. Over the course of his life, he imported 168 slaves and indentured servants to Virginia. In later years Randolph became a merchant and a planter, and co-owned several ships used to transport tobacco to England and goods back to Virginia. He established several of his sons as merchants and ship captains.

He trained as a lawyer and was a partner with Peter Perry and Edward Hill, Jr. in the law firm Hill, Perry & Randolph in the 1680s. He held multiple official appointments. At the local level, he became clerk of Henrico County Court in 1673 and held the position until he was asked to serve as a justice of the peace in 1683. He also served as sheriff and coroner. Randolph represented Henrico County in every assembly of the House of Burgesses from 1684 to 1698, was Speaker of the House of Burgesses in 1698, and was the Clerk of the House from 1699 to 1702. He had briefly been attorney-general of the colony, but according to a Crown report of September 1696 by Edward Randolph of New England "is wholly unacquainted with the laws and practice of the Courts in England". He fell ill in August 1702 and his son, William, took his place. Randolph resigned the clerkship completely in March 1703.

Randolph was a founder and one of the first trustees of the College of William & Mary. Randolph was a friend of William Byrd, and he served as an advisor to Byrd's sons during their political careers. He is mentioned in one of Byrd's diaries as "Colonel Randolph", his militia title.

Property
Randolph was the founder of a dynasty of individuals who shaped commerce and governmental administration for years. They were "one of the most numerous and wealthiest" of the "first families" of the colony. Between Randolph and his heirs, they acquired tens of thousands of acres, including establishment of eleven large neighboring plantations that were worked by hundreds of slaves.

Turkey Island Plantation
Randolph acquired property by purchase, headright, marital interest and land grant. His early acquisitions were in the neighborhood of Turkey Island, located in the James River about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of present-day Richmond. Randolph began living at the Turkey Hill estate, which included the island and surrounding area, in 1670. That residence no longer exists. William Randolph's residence overlooked Turkey Island, and he is buried near the site of the house. Randolph's Turkey Island Plantation became the seat of the Randolph family.

Curles Neck Plantation
In 1676 a Virginia colonist, Nathaniel Bacon, rebelled unsuccessfully against the colonial government and his estate was forfeited. This was Curles Neck Plantation, located near Turkey Island. Randolph made an assessment of the property for Governor Berkeley and was allowed to buy it for his estimated price, adding 1230 acre to Randolph's previous land holdings. The property eventually became the home of William's 5th son Richard Randolph.

Tuckahoe and Dungeness
Around 1700, when Randolph's political career was at its peak, he received land grants to almost 10000 acre of newly opened land near Richmond; a 3256 acre tract at Tuckahoe Creek and a 5142 acre plot at Westham. This land became the basis of the Tuckahoe and Dungeness Plantations, which were later founded by two of William Randolph's sons.

Marriage and children
Randolph married Mary Isham (ca. 1659-December 29, 1735), around 1676. Her father was Henry Isham of Northamptonshire. Her mother, Katherine Banks Royall Isham, was one of the wealthiest women in the colonies for their time. In Henrico County, Virginia, the Ishams owned a large estate in Bermuda Hundred which was across the river from Randolph's Turkey Island estate.

William Randolph had ten children who survived into adulthood:
 * Elizabeth Randolph (ca. 1679-1685), died young.
 * William Randolph II (born November 1, 1681) married Elizabeth Beverley (the daughter of Peter Beverley, a Speaker of the House of Burgesses and Treasurer of Virginia) around 1705 and had five children who lived to adulthood.  He was the grandfather of Beverley Randolph, the eighth Governor of Virginia and Ann Bolling Randolph Fitzhugh.
 * Thomas Randolph of Tuckahoe (born ~June 1683) married Judith Fleming on October 16, 1712.  He was the great-grandfather of John Marshall, as well as the great-great-grandfather of Ann Cary (Nancy) Randolph, who married Gouverneur Morris, and her brother Thomas Mann Randolph Jr., who married Thomas Jefferson's daughter, Martha.
 * Isham Randolph of Dungeness (born December 1684) married Jane Rogers in 1717 and had nine children, including Jane Randolph (who married Peter Jefferson and was the mother of Thomas Jefferson), Mary Randolph (who was the mother of Charles Lilburn Lewis and grandmother of Isham and Lilburn Lewis), Ann Randolph (who was the mother of James Pleasants Jr., the 22nd Governor of Virginia), and Susannah Randolph (who married Carter Henry Harrison I and was the great-grandmother of Carter Henry Harrison III and great-great-grandmother of Carter Henry Harrison IV) – both five-time mayors of Chicago.
 * Richard Randolph (born ~May 1686) married Jane Bolling, a descendant of Pocahontas, around 1714. He was the grandfather of the colorful Congressman John Randolph of Roanoke.
 * Henry Randolph (born between 1681 and 1686) did not marry.
 * Elizabeth Randolph (born before April 1685) married Richard Bland around 1711 and had five children, including Mary Bland (who married Henry Lee I and was the mother of Henry Lee II, the grandmother of Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee III, and the great-grandmother of Robert E. Lee), Theodorick Bland of Cawsons (who was the father of Congressman Theodorick Bland as well as grandfather to John Randolph of Roanoke), and the statesman Richard Bland (who was the great-great-grandfather of Roger Atkinson Pryor).
 * Sir John Randolph (born ~April 1689) married Susanna Beverley (another daughter of Peter Beverley) around 1718. He studied at the Inns of Court, practiced law in Williamsburg. John was the only native of Colonial America to receive a knighthood. He was the father of Peyton Randolph, President of the First Continental Congress, and John Randolph, a Loyalist. The latter's son, Edmund Randolph, served as a Virginia delegate to the Constitutional Convention and became the first U.S. Attorney General and was the great-great grandfather of Robert Williams Daniel, a banker who survived the Titanic disaster.
 * Edward Randolph (born ~October 1690) married Miss (Elizabeth?) Grosvenor around 1715.
 * Mary Randolph (born ~1692) married Captain John Stith, a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and the son of John Stith, around 1712. Her son, William Stith, was the third president of the College of William and Mary; her son-in-law, William Dawson, was the second president of The College of William & Mary. Mary was the great-grandmother of Congressman William Johnston Dawson.  Her second son, John Stith III, was the great-great-grandfather of Armistead C. Gordon and also Junius Daniel, Brigadier General of the Confederate States Army.

The sons of William Randolph were each distinguished by the estates left to them. Early generations of Randolphs married into several other gentry families, including Beverley, Bland, Bolling, Dilliard, Fleming, Byrd, Fitzhugh, Carter, Cary, Harrison and Page. Later affiliations included members of the Lewis, Meriwether and Skipwith families.

Death
Randolph died on 21 April 1711 at his Turkey Island plantation. Mary and two of their sons, Thomas and William, were executors of the estate that spelled out the manner in which his numerous land holdings were distributed to his sons. Profits from the Pigeon Swamp plantation were to pay off his debt of £3259 to Micajah Perry III's law firm before title was to be transferred in accordance with the will.

Legacy
In their wealth and social status, the Randolphs were much like other families of the Chesapeake elite. If anything set them apart it was their participation in the political life of the colony, clearly traceable to William Randolph's example. Randolphs and close relatives formed the predominant political faction in the colonial government during the 18th century, with many members of the elected House of Burgesses and the appointed, and more exclusive, Council.

Most of the Randolphs, like the rest of the Virginia gentry, strongly supported the Revolution. However, John Randolph (son of Sir John), in opposition to both his brother Peyton and son Edmund, remained loyal to Great Britain and left Virginia. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, and 18-year-old John Marshall was at Valley Forge for the trying winter of 1777–1778.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Prashantg. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Prashantg~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Alliance of Political Parties (Liberia)

The Alliance of Political Parties (ALLIANCE) was a coalition of two Liberian political parties, the Liberian Action Party (LAP) and Liberia Unification Party (LUP), that contested the 19 July 1997 elections.

In the election, the ALLIANCE presidential candidate Cletus Wotorson won 2.57% of the vote. The coalition won 2 of 64 seats in the House of Representatives and none in the Senate. While international observers deemed the polls administratively free and transparent, they noted that it had taken place in an atmosphere of intimidation because most voters believed that former rebel leader and National Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate Charles Taylor would return to war if defeated.
