Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AARM

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep, no consensus, but with a reasonably strong suggestion that merge would be acceptable. --Tony Sidaway Talk 15:45, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

AARM
I'm not so sure that the "continuous cleanup" done by user Hyperbole is the correct procedure. It separates comments to the votes from the votes and adds some more votes where Hyperbole assumes how they are intended. (Assumptions might be correct, but I'm not sure if this counts as a vote). Only comments as to who is, in Hyperboles view a possible sockpuppet included in the votes section. Revert would delete some valid votes. On the other hand, the present state of the page makes it near impossible to find out who said what in reaction on what. --Irmgard 11:31, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I was simply doing my best to keep this page coherent - and I think the fact that I specified two "assumed" votes against my own position and only one in favor of it speaks to that. I won't do any more reformatting; I'm fairly certain I've honestly and accurately represented the vote count, but upon reading the guides, I realize that the vote counts aren't even the point here, and that admins don't necessarily make decisions based on their quantity, so obviously what I did was pointless at best.  So, I'm sorry.  --Hyperbole 16:00, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Discussion
What Wikipedia is not I see no reason why a minor unmoderated atheist forum (less than 200 members) deserves a place in Wikipedia Irmgard 19:37, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The article is not a FAQ, a list of quotes, a travel guide, a memorial, a news report, genealogy, a dictionary, or any of the other "indiscriminate information" listed in the policy page. Rather, it is a page on a forum populated by nearly 200 members, without which an NPOV examination of CARM and Matt Slick would be impossible.  There is an ongoing campaign of attempts to censor any perspectives on those subjects that are not POV-in-favor (see the discussion pages to those articles), and as this is a subject that is of interest to hundreds of people, and improves the NPOV quality of discussion of the aforementioned articles without necessitating burdening the articles themselves with all this information, I would strongly advocate keeping it.  --Hyperbole 20:10, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, the fact that some people feel their views are censured because they are banned from a moderated forum for violating the forum rules is about as uncommon as an umbrella in rainy weather - and it happens in discussion boards of every worldview. And that such people then move to a forum or open up a forum with different rules is also nothing new or special. Any moderator of a moderated forum could tell a dozen stories like that. (BTW I'm neither moderator nor registered user at the CARM discussion boards nor in any other way affiliated to CARM). --Irmgard 21:21, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

I 100% agree with Irmgard. Having moderated forums for years, AARM is one of thousands of insignificant rooms set up for attacking other boards where they were removed, etc. It seems that the AARM participants, hyperbole as an active member, are seeking to promote their chatroom in self-promotion, also against the rules, in linking the boards constantly to wikipedia articles, which is against the rules and guidelines. There are no articles written on the AARM forums, or papers written by experts in the field. It is a chat room and does not deserve any attention. I vote for its removal and for an admin to please review the behaviors of the editors to CARM, Matt Slick, John W. Ratcliff sections with the editors constantly reverting to linking to aarm discussion boards in all the articles, attempts to attack Matt Slick by linking to chatrooms containing anonymous users, and using wikipedia as a soap box for a group of posters removed from discussion boards for rule violations.Interested Party 21:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It's worth mentioning that Interested Party has multiple usernames, is currently evading a block for violating the 3RR (as she is the same user as Tom S 48), and is here on Wikipedia for the sole purpose of attempting to remove any and all material critical of Matt Slick and CARM, attempting to make those pages entirely POV-in-favor. Her vote for deletion of AARM is therefore entirely unsurprising.  --Hyperbole 22:53, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

To the administrator Will, I am not Tom S. actually he is my brother-in-law. I am editor Interested Party and you have blocked three different people. This will be reported. Interested Party Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Christian_Apologetics_and_Research_Ministry" Peggy Sue is my sister.

Jennifer
My name is Jennifer, I am a stay-at-home Mother of four from Alabama and I am entirely tired of your demonic games. Get a life ....stalker!! Prove that I am Peggy Sue.68.62.227.47 21:06, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * You're presenting yourself as someone I've never met before - and you're "entirely tired of my demonic games"?? Well, that pretty much satisfies me that you're Diane.  Hi, Diane.  --Hyperbole 01:15, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Irmgard: We need an admin here to remove this person hyperbole. Someone with access to IP numbers to inform this person hyperbole that each person he is accusing is a different person WITH a different IP address in different parts of the country. Yes hyperbole, Jen knows about you, I have told her and many others on CARM, that every person signing on to edit the CARM articles is accused of being me, :-) she knows you are stalking the Matt and CARM articles, everybody does, look to your edits for the last three months, you are an atheist obsessed with Christian websits. I manage to be in Penn, Alabama, NJ, different addresses and I do it all in one day, yeah right. :-) Jen knows you hyperbole, also you are now signed on as Urbie, because anyone reading CARM is aware that you are an atheist that is slandering CARM daily in these articles. You can expect more to show up. As CARM informs people of your stalking these articles. Maybe I can be all 6000 posters on the CARM boards. :-)Peggy Sue 05:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Let me remind you that I wrote the first draft of the 'Matt Slick' article - all the uncontested bibliographical information, the sections on Slick's websites, the original perspectives, were all a collaboration between Falphin, mdavidn, and myself - and you showed up later. So the idea that I'm stalking you here on Wikipedia is nothing short of silly.  And the notion that someone named Jen, who I've never heard of, and whose description resembles no one I've ever met, would suddenly show up and call me a "stalker" and say she's "tired of my demonic games" is incredibly strange; I continue to think she's another Diane sock puppet.  Finally, I have never made a single edit with any account other than Hyperbole, and I have not made an edit anonymously since creating the account months ago.  Tom_S_48 has *admitted* that you write posts on other people's behalfs - so while it's impossible to prove what's Diane and what's not, it's usually pretty easy to tell.  --Hyperbole 06:43, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge -Content is very relevant to understanding CARM-related material.Urbie 18:08, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * There is already a para with the most relevant points in the CARM article - further merge is IMO not necessary. BTW, user DigitalDrummer has 8 edits and user Urbie 35. --Irmgard 21:45, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a good point. BTW, I'm just curious as to why you mention that I have 35 edits. I hope I'm not in violation of any Wikipedia rules. Thanks.Urbie 23:55, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sometimes in controversial ones,(this one is not yet so that doesn't matter) users with few edits are not counted. If that happned Peggy Sue, you, the Interested Party, etc would not be included.(I believe three delete votes and one merge it would make) but there to discount votes yet.
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Stad (Sweden)

Stad (Swedish: town; city; plural städer) is a Swedish term that historically was used for urban centers of various sizes. Since 1971, stad has no administrative or legal significance in Sweden.

History
The status of towns in Sweden was formerly granted by a royal charter, comparable to the United Kingdom's status of borough or burgh before the 1970s or city status today. Unless given such town privileges, a municipality could not call itself stad. To receive the privileges, there were several requirements a municipality needed to fulfill, like being of a certain size, and to have certain facilities. The criteria varied over time as they were at the discretion of the Riksdag or the monarch, but they could include a permanent town council hall and a prison.

In the majority of cases, before a town received its charter, it would have previously been given the status of köping or "merchant town". Exceptions to this would be when a town was founded under Royal supervision, in which case it would often bear the name of the monarch, such as Kristianstad or Karlskrona (named after kings Christian IV of Denmark and Karl XI of Sweden).

In the Late Middle Ages, c. 1450, Sweden (excluding Finland) had 41 chartered towns. By 1680 there were 83. The only town founded and chartered during the 18th century was Östersund (1786). In 1863 the first local government acts were implemented in Sweden. Of the around 2,500 municipalities that were created, 88 were chartered towns. The main difference between these and other municipalities was that a stad had its own jurisdiction, i.e. independent town courts. There were also laws on urban planning and building (Byggnadstadgan 1874), fire prevention (Brandstadgan 1874), public order (Ordningsstadgan 1868) and public health (Hälsovårdsstadgan 1874) which were compulsory applicable to towns. Prior to 1900, the two minor towns of Borgholm and Haparanda lost their courts, but retained the title of stad.

Of the new towns chartered between 1901 and 1951 (44, making the total number of towns 133), not a single one was given its own jurisdiction, but remained under what was called landsrätt ("rural jurisdiction").

20th century reforms
In the middle of the 20th century many administrative reforms were carried out that continued to diminish the difference between rural and urban areas. Police forces and district courts, as well as taxation, were centralized under state agencies, making the administration uniform all over Sweden.

The amalgamations of municipalities reduced the number of local government units from a maximum of 2,532 in 1930 to less than 300 today. Consequently, by 1970 most municipalities contained both rural and urban areas. Since the urban and rural municipalities also with time got the same duties towards citizens, it became unnecessary to differentiate between towns and other municipalities, as all had the same powers. Since 1 January 1971, all municipalities are designated as kommun, regardless of their former status.

Modern use
Most of the urban areas of Sweden which once were chartered towns are today still usually referred to as stad. The majority of them are also house the seat of their respective municipalities though the term is no longer an administrative term. In some municipalities there can be more than one former town, e.g. Eskilstuna and Torshälla in Eskilstuna Municipality, Kungälv and Marstrand in Kungälv Municipality, or Jönköping, Huskvarna and Gränna, which all three now are part of Jönköping Municipality. The town of Visby is the seat of Gotland Municipality, but is no political entity of its own. Some former towns have also grown together, forming one urban area.

A few municipalities which used to be towns still style themselves as stad, e.g. Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. There are also municipalities with considerable rural areas that market themselves with the term.

Statistics Sweden defines the term stad as a locality with more than 10,000 inhabitants of which there are currently 118.

Urban population
Largest urban areas in 1850:
 * Stockholm (93,000 inhabitants)
 * Gothenburg (26,000)
 * Norrköping (17,000)
 * Karlskrona (14,000)
 * Malmö (13,000)

Largest urban areas in 1900:
 * Stockholm (300,624)
 * Gothenburg (130,609)
 * Malmö (60,857)
 * Norrköping (41,008)
 * Gävle (29,522)
 * Helsingborg (24,670)
 * Karlskrona (23,955)
 * Jönköping (23,143)
 * Uppsala (22,855)
 * Örebro (22,013)
 * Lund (16,621)
 * Borås (15,837)
 * Halmstad (15,362)

Ureterp

Ureterp is a village in the municipality of Opsterland in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands. After Gorredijk it is the second largest village of the municipality with a population of around 4,785 in January 2017.

History
The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Urathorp, and means "higher settlement". Ura (higher) has been added to distinguish from Olterterp. Ureterp developed in the late middle ages on a sandy ridge. In the 17th century, a second settlement developed at the sluice of the Drachtster Compagnonsvaart. The tower and the north face of Dutch Reformed church are from the 13th century. The church was extensively modified around 1800.

Ureterp was home to 1,512 people in 1840.

Notable people

 * Lieuwe de Boer (born 1951), ice speed skater
 * Saco Rienk de Boer (1883–1974), landscape architect and city planner
 * Grietje Mulder (born 1966), long track speed skater

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 Paworn. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Paworn~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 02:05, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Johannes Hardenbergh

Major Johannes Hardenbergh (1670–1745), also known as Sir Johannes Hardenbergh, was the owner of the Hardenbergh patent of land in the Catskill Mountains.

Biography
He was born in Albany, New York, in 1670. His father's name was Gerrit, and he married Catherine Rutsen. He was Sheriff of Ulster County, New York in 1709. He served as a Major in the Ulster County Regiment.

In 1706, Hardenbergh bought the immense tract of land since known as the "Hardenbergh patent", which covered some 2000000 acre of the Catskill Mountains in what is today Sullivan, Ulster and Delaware counties, from Nanisinos, sachem of the Esopus Indians, for the sum of 60 pounds. The purchase was subsequently confirmed and patent was granted to Hardenbergh and six others in 1708. There were some disputes as to whether Hardenbergh's acquisition of the property had been truly legal. Indeed, in 1769 another former British officer, John Bradstreet, filed a claim to 50000 acre based on that very assumption.

Shares in the patent changed hands frequently, and the terms under which the land was sold or leased were so varied and complex that it impeded settlement of the district and clouded the title to most of its tracts until well after the American Revolution.

He died in 1745.

Descendants

 * Colonel Johannes Hardenbergh, Jr. (1706–1786), a field officer under Washington in the Continental Army, served in New York's Colonial Assembly, was Hardenbergh's son.
 * The Reverend Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh (1735/6-1790), Dutch Reformed clergyman, first president of Queen's College (now Rutgers University), member of the Provincial Congress of New Jersey and New Jersey General Assembly during the American Revolution, was his grandson.
 * Henry Janeway Hardenbergh (1847-1918), great-great-great-great-grandson, was a prominent architect in New York City in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
