Wildfire and number conventions
Hello,

thanks for correcting my English on Wildfire. I just have one remark: you replaced the non-breakable spaces by commas on the number, and this is in contradiction with the international standard, see. I know this is not the habit in all countries, but I think respecting the international standards is a way to facilitate international exchanges and to respect the NPOV. It thus reverted to &nbsp;.

Regards

 * Hi, I did replace those spaces with commas, and I winced as I did it. I actually prefer the European system of decimals, etc, but the Wikipedia Manual of Style actually dictates that we use commas to separate groups of three and periods for decimal places. I agree that it's not really NPOV, but wikipedia does have to have some standard for number formats. I will revert the article back to the comma standard. -Lommer | talk 00:50, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

 * OK for your revert. I'll post a message on the Manual of style talkpage about this.

ATC
I was wondering what background info was used for modifying the ATC page? What country's operations was it based on... thanx...jvz

 * Hi, I am a Canadian pilot, so all of my experience is Canadian. Most of my modifications were just for clarity and readability though. P.S. You can can sign your edits by using four tildes, like this: ~ . It's useful for talk pages so that others know who left the message and how to get back to you. -Lommer | talk 04:35, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I have much much to learn about this...including all the short-hand that is used in this program. My background is 34 years in the FAA as a controller and retired 5 years ... so I have been away from it a while. I was writing with the perspecive of a U.S. controller and realized that your edits may have been because you were familiar with another country's ATC system. There is a lot alike but there are also differences. This is one of the issues that comes up with an international system I guess. I did go back and discuss what we did in the US system. Hope that doesn't throw a wrench in things...

Ok so I just do Jgvanzandt 04:49, 5 May 2005 (UTC) and this helps people find me? And I thought I was computer literate...

thanx for the reply

Thank you Lommer. I've always had this dream of adminship, but I really don't believe in self-nomming oneself. I'm kind of tongue-tied right now; I'm still in a state of ecstatic shock. But thanks! →Iñgōlemo←  talk 03:26, 2005 May 31 (UTC)

Thanks for your support on my Adminship request.Seabhcán 09:27, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * No problem. You're qualified and actually remind me a bit of myself when I applied for adminship. -Lommer | talk 22:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ibexes
On a side note, how do I know if my picture gets nominated? Can I view the selection/voting process? Sputnik

 * Hi Sputnik, you probably won't know if your picture gets nominated unless you nominate it yourself. Alternatly, you can regularly check Featured picture candidates, where you can view the selection and voting process for all FPCs. That's actually one of my favourite pages, because there's a lot of interesting pictures that go though there (even ones that don't make it). -Lommer | talk 22:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * P.S. You may want to sign your edits with ~ or rather than just Sputnik, as those automatic sigs will create links back to your user and talk pages.

My RFA
Lommer, thank you very much for your vote of support on my recent RFA. Now that I've been promoted, I'll work to ensure that my further contributions to wikipedia demonstrate that your trust was well-justified. Regards, Fawcett5 19:04, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Images for Deletion
Greetings! I listed an image on IFD a while back that were unverified and obsoleted by better-quality GFDL pics on commons. Your edit summary removing it from the page states "rm deleted images", but Image:Fagot.jpg wasn't deleted. Was this an oversight, or was there reason to keep? (The reason I'm concerned is that I suspect it's a copyvio, but cannot prove it: I'd rather it not hang around when there are better copylefted shots on Commons to replace it.) Thanks, and nice work clearing out the backlog; I know it's generally a thankless task. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 20:35, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi, sorry about that - thanks for keeping such a close eye on it. Yes it was an oversight, that was right around the time of the server move and it was pretty difficult getting the system to delete images when it was so overloaded. I've deleted it now — I'll have to check and make sure no others fell through the cracks. -Lommer | talk 01:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks! Deletion problems happened to me too over the past weeks; glad it's working better now! Happy editing, Mindspillage (spill yours?) 03:01, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Naruto Gekito Ninja Taisen

 * copied from User talk:Havok

Just out of curiosity - why did you tag your article Naruto Gekito Ninja Taisen for deletion? It looked like a legit article to me, do you really want it deleted? -Lommer | talk 02:13, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, the reason for me deletion is that it's spelled Gekitou not Gekito. ;) A slipp on my part. Havok 07:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Just so you know, in future you can remedy that yourself by pressing the "move" button at the top of the page. That will move the page and its contents to another title. -Lommer | talk 00:13, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the tip on moving. Stil new to this Wiki thing. ;) Havok 19:50, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Date links
Just a comment about your linking to "xxxx in aviation" (De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter). I don't mind you doing that, because some people apparently find it useful, but I want you to be aware that it does screw up the operation of the "preferences" function. When May 20, 1965 is linked, I see "20 May 1965", but when May 20, 1965 is linked I see "20 May, 1965". The difference is the treatment of commas, and perhaps not really being identified as a full date which could affect future changes in preferences.

About the only solution I've seen is to try to link the "XXXX in aviation" links to a year which does not appear as a full date (one link for each year is probably sufficient), rather than one which is a full date, using just the year in full-date links. That isn't always possible, of course. The main thing is, I want you to be aware of this problem and to take it into consideration in making such links. Maybe someday we will have preferences whose operation is not so closely tied to linking for other purposes. Gene Nygaard 11:56, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Huh, very interesting and something I didn't know. Thanks for the info! -Lommer | talk 18:59, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

* adiabatic lapse *
Hi, Lommer. I tried very hard to keep every fact in adiabatic lapse rate and temperature lapse rate in the new combined adiabatic lapse article. Take a look at the end of the "Scientific explanation" section, and in the "significance in meterology" section. I did some refactoring, but by-and-large, I even kept the same wording, cutting and pasting into the article.

My motivation is that the same physics context is needed to understand all of the different flavors of lapses. This coincides with what Merge recommends. So, I decided to merge them into one article which can stand by itself.

If there is some specific fact that I accidently dropped, please point it out: I'll be happy to fold it into adiabatic lapse.

Thanks! -- hike395 08:05, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * How about some discussion on the talk page of the idiotic renaming to two adjectives without a noun. Gene Nygaard 13:56, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Moved all material back to adiabatic lapse rate. -- hike395 16:51, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I'll check it out. The reason I reverted and threw a merge tag on it was that some content seemed to have been lost in the split into scientific/meteorolgy sections. I also like it much better in its new location. -Lommer | talk 17:34, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hey mate, I've re-written the Induced Drag article and removed some bad physics & other disproved theorys. Comments welcome. I can provide sources and answer questions if needed.

edit counter
hi,

back in Feburary you asked if the edit counter could show number of edits by namespace. at the time i said it wasn't possible, but since the 1.5 upgrade it's quite easy, so it now does that. regards —kate

 * Wow, thanks for the note! -Lommer | talk 5 July 2005 22:18 (UTC)

Template flexibility
Hey Lommer - just curious about your comment about the flexibility of templates. What concerns do you have? Check out User David Newton's amazing work on the WikiProject Ship template. I now realise that we wouldn't need the dozen different templates I originally thought we would - we'd just need two (one metric-first, one non-metric first). Switching optional fields on and off (or swtiching a template between "Wingspan" and "Main rotor diameter") is a cinch, done the way he's done it. Rlandmann 01:07, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Which ship template are you referring to? I was looking around but I didn't see one that obviously paralelled our aircraft specs table (the two articles mentioned on their project page, the ARA General Belgrano + Cutty Sark, use text based specs). Can you give me a specific link? -Lommer | talk 01:24, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

parametrized templates with subtemplates
I just left this notice with Rlandmann and Bobblewik, but I thought you'd be glad to see this as well. I've got a variable-based template set currently working! User:Ericg/template_tests and User:Ericg/template_test2 show examples of a military jet and a civilian prop. The input template itself is fairly straightforward, although just viewing the template makes it look a mess. -eric ✈ 06:21, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Cool, thanks for the note. -Lommer | talk 23:05, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * You seem pretty interested in the template idea, so I figured I'd let you know. ;) Anyway, I've updated it to have all units passed through the template - it now uses "{whatever} main=" and "{whatever} alt=", rather than specifying one as metric. This way, one template (without crazy subtemplates) works for metric and imperial depending on the order they're input. Now, as a caveat, they can't be swapped later without manual shifting, which could be a disadvantage over the previous setup.

 * Anyway... right now I'm planning to do helicopters as a totally separate template system. If you can figure out an easy way to integrate them, that'd be swell. Also, for mixmaster hybrid types I'm a bit hung up as well. Regardless, have a good one. -eric ✈ 23:45, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Abbreviation of knots
You may not have not had cause to look at aviation weather forecasts. The official abbreviation as used by ICAO and member states in METAR and TAF etc has no 's' for the plural. Would you be prepared to reconsider your vote? Thanks. Bobblewik 13:52, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Heh. I just changed my vote. thanks for the info. -Lommer | talk 19:01, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * So I see. And you found another good source too. Thank you. Bobblewik 19:06, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

 * No problem. -Lommer | talk 19:07, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Nomen nudum
You deleted nomen nudum on the grounds that it was patent nonsense. However, the article was in fact quite correct (there was even a note on the talk page explaining this) and you were in error in deleting it. So I restored it. Please take more care in future. Gdr 15:32:05, 2005-07-31 (UTC)

 * I apologize, I've looked at the page in question and I was indeed in error. The only explanation I can give is that the speedy list was quite backed-up at the time, but I myself would shoot that down as a terrible excuse. -Lommer | talk 02:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I understand. Don't worry too much; it was easy to resurrect. Gdr 23:24:45, 2005-08-04 (UTC)

Approach Slope
Totally puzzled by your revert on my correction to your original article.

The slope has got to ABOVE the horizontal, if it were below the horizontal the height of an object moving along the slope would increase as you travelled along the approach. (unsigned edit by: M100)

 * Ah, Now I think I see the source of the confusion. I mean 3 degrees below the horizontal from the point of view of the airplane. I.e. if you're flying the plane perfeclty level, you would angle your path down 3 degrees in order to fly the approach slope. Does that clarify what I mean? Should I change the article too? -Lommer | talk 21:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * P.S. you can sign your edits on talk pages by typing or ~ . This will create a link back to your user page so people can find you more easily, and also helps identify who's saying what. -Lommer | talk 21:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

It just didn't read right, adding "3 degrees below the horizontal from the point of view of the airplane" I think would help - but a simple line diagram maybe with the altitude at various distances would probably be the best way to avoid confusion to future users. M100

It's So Easy (Guns N' Roses song)

"It's So Easy" is a song by the American rock band Guns N' Roses, appearing on their 1987 debut studio album, Appetite for Destruction. The song was released as the band's first single on June 15, 1987, in the UK, where it reached number 84 on the UK Singles Chart as a double A-Side with "Mr. Brownstone". It was also released as a maxi-single in Germany later in the same year.

Composition
According to an interview published in Hit Parader in March 1988, "It's So Easy" is "an account of a time Duff McKagan and West Arkeen, and also the rest of the band, were kinda going through. They didn't have money, but they had a lot of hangers on and girls [they] could basically live off of ... things were just too easy. There's an emptiness; it's so easy."

In an Eddie Trunk interview from 2006, Axl Rose said that McKagan and Arkeen originally wrote the song as an acoustic "Hippie Ya-Ya" song, and that it was Slash's decision to turn it into a rock song. McKagan stated that Arkeen taught him about alternate tuning, leading the song to have a more distinctive sound, saying "without open-E tuning, that song wouldn't have happened", that's why West has songwriting credit on it."

Live

 * "It's So Easy" is one of the band's live staples, performed early in a typical setlist at almost every live performance since 1986. The song was the band's regular show opener after the release of Appetite for Destruction in 1987 and was a frequent opener during the Use Your Illusion Tour in 1991–1993. The song opened every show on the Not in This Lifetime... Tour.
 * Slash's post-Guns N' Roses project, Slash's Snakepit, performed the song during their tour in support of Ain't Life Grand in 2001.
 * Duff McKagan, the song's primary songwriter, performed the song in most of his post-Guns N' Roses projects, including the tour in support of his 1993 album Believe in Me. His band, Loaded, have been performing the song since their inception in 1999.
 * Velvet Revolver, which included Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan, and Use Your Illusion-era drummer Matt Sorum, frequently performed the song during live performance with Scott Weiland on vocals.

Music video
On October 10, 1989, over two years after the release of the original single, a promo video was made for "It's So Easy". The video features the band playing live in front of a crowd on stage at the Cathouse nightclub in Hollywood, and a cameo by Axl Rose's then-fiancé Erin Everly who is being treated by him in a BDSM-style way. A heavily edited version of the video was later made for promotional purposes. It was not included on the band's Welcome to the Videos DVD, and as such its content is rare and can only be found on the internet. At the time the video was released, Guns N' Roses were not as popular as they would eventually become, the single was never released in the United States and its video was never accepted by MTV.

The video was finally released on May 28, 2018.

Nice Article.....Jjdon (talk) 22:05, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

 * No, it's not, unfortunately. It makes a lot of claims, but has provided zero supporting evidence for any of those claims. Gcronau (talk) 03:46, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

 * yes, has nice information here , even if not verified . some workers never tell their tricks . meh ,Konfressor (talk) 19:16, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Actually, Gcronau is correct above, because this article to date reflects only the pseudoscientific folk wisdom of the scraping–versus–grinding-and-lapping question, from the 1920s (with zero adequate reference citations), but not the scientifically balanced reality (which is that scraping is not always necessary but is still used in various contexts because it is not always superfluous). Colvin 1947 covers both this misapprehension and its correction, and Modern Machine Shop and its sister publications have good articles on the modern state of the question in the 21st century. I had sworn I had already fixed this, with references, but I just found by looking at the article history that evidently what I was misremembering was how I was planning to fix it when I got some time to do so. I hope to get around to it; it is an important topic worth covering correctly at Wikipedia. The contributors to the current version were not at fault, because they were simply entering into Wikipedia what they had read in 100-year-old textbooks, which contained solely the pseudoscientific folk wisdom. I know because that's what I, too, learned first, before I read widely enough to learn the modern reality. By the way, Colvin 1947 explained that there have been machine tools over the decades on which the only scraping done was to frost the ways, partly for oil retention but mostly just to assuage the superstitions of buyers who assumed that it signaled that fully dimensional scraping, which they thought was indispensable, had been done. But that is not to say that scraping is never anything but a hoax, either. It is still needed in some contexts, and, of course, it is what allowed people like Whitworth to create the modern surface plate in the first place. — ¾-10 02:21, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

I disagree. Buggies fell out of use but precision slideways are fundamental to modern machine tools; accurate surface plates are the literal foundation of physical metrology to this day. Of course labour costs have tipped the balance against manual scraping where it is possible to achieve the required accuracy and surface properties by machine.--Murdomck (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:48, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

1977 CFL season

The 1977 CFL season is considered to be the 24th season in modern-day Canadian football, although it is officially the 20th Canadian Football League season.

CFL News in 1977
The 65th Grey Cup game, nicknamed "The Ice Bowl", was held in Olympic Stadium in Montreal. The game itself set an attendance record with 68,318, which in turn set a record for ticket revenue of $1,401,930.

The Montreal Alouettes also set an CFL regular-season team attendance record with 69,093 attending the September 6 game against the Toronto Argonauts at Olympic Stadium.

Grey Cup playoffs
The Montreal Alouettes are the 1977 Grey Cup champions, defeating the Edmonton Eskimos, 41–6, in front of their home crowd of 68,318 at Montreal's Olympic Stadium. This Grey Cup was known as the "Ice Bowl" since the field was frozen in a sheet of ice. There was controversy with respect to the game due to the fact the Eskimos were wearing normal cleats, while the Alouettes were wearing staples on their cleats giving them a huge advantage on the icy field. The Alouettes' Sonny Wade (QB) was named the Grey Cup's Most Valuable Player on Offence and Glen Weir (DT) was named the Grey Cup's Most Valuable Player on Defence. The Alouettes' Don Sweet (K) was named Grey Cup's Most Valuable Canadian.

Administrative Review Board

The Administrative Review Board is a United States military body that conducts an annual review of the detainees held by the United States in Camp Delta at the United States Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The purpose of the Board is to review whether the detainees still represent a threat. US President George W. Bush initially called the detainees "illegal combatants." But, without a formal announcement of the policy change, the Bush Administration changed their description to "enemy combatant". From July 2004 through March 2005, military authorities conducted a one-time Combatant Status Review Tribunal for each detainee, to confirm whether they had been properly been classified as an "enemy combatant".

The Combatant Status Reviews were criticized by human rights workers because the detainees were not entitled to legal counsel, and did not know what allegations they had to defend themselves against, and the detainees had no presumption of innocence. The ARB was created in an attempt to mitigate the harsh results of potentially indefinite detention by allowing an annual review to determine whether the individual should still be detained.

The Combatant Status Reviews determined that 38 detainees were not illegal combatants after all. They determined that the rest of the detainees had been correctly classified as "enemy combatants" during their original, secret, classifications.

The first set of Administrative Reviews took place between December 14, 2004 and December 23, 2005. The Boards met to consider the cases of al 463 eligible detainees. They recommended the release of 14 detainees, and the repatriation of 120 detainees to the custody of the authorities in their home countries.

The United States Department of Defense (DoD) was under a court order from United States District Court Judge Jed Rakoff to release the names of all the detainees by 6:00 p.m. EST on March 3, 2006. The Department of Defense did not meet this deadline. They delivered a CD-ROM with approximately 5,000 pages of documents at 6:20 pm. DoD had to take that CD-ROM back and issue a second copy that without files that DoD decided not to release.

Factors for and against continued detention
As part of this release of documents the DoD released three files containing summaries of the factors for and against the release of some of the detainees. These documents summarized the factors for and against the continued detention of 120 detainees. These documents contain the detainee's names. The DoD has not explained why they did not comply with Rakoff's court order and release the factors for and against the other 343 detainees.

Some of the factors listed in favour of continued detention for some detainees were repetitions of allegations that had already been refuted during the detainee's Combatant Status Review Tribunals.

Summarized Transcripts of Administrative Review Board hearings
The DoD also released an incomplete set of four files containing summarized transcripts from administrative review board hearings. Over the next six weeks the DoD released 15 more files containing transcripts. Most of these transcripts do not contain the detainees names. However, almost all the transcripts bear the detainee's Guantanamo ID number on the lower right hand corner of each page, and on April 20, 2006, and on May 15, 2006, the DoD released lists of the detainees, with their associated detainee IDs.

In early September 2007 the DoD published additional documents from the second set of Review Board hearings convened in 2006.

Less than twenty percent of the remaining detainees participated in their hearings. The Department only published transcripts of the hearings in which detainees chose to participate.

Releases
According to an article from the International Herald Tribune from April 22, 2006, the ARB had determined three detainees could be released and 107 detainees could be repatriated to the custody of their home country, yet they still remained at Guantanamo. US officials said their continued detention was due to concerns the detainees might be tortured or killed if they were returned or repatriated.

Observers
Very few of the Review Board hearings were observed by members of the press. Adam Brookes of the BBC wrote on April 8, 2005, about being allowed to sit in on the first Administrative Review Board hearing where observers were permitted. He wrote that over sixty Review Board hearings had been convened with no press attendance.

Non-free use disputed for Image:WakingTheFallen.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:WakingTheFallen.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Early Avenged Sevenfold releases
A template has been added to the article Early Avenged Sevenfold releases, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with db-author.

Fair use rationale for Image:Onfrailwingsofvanityandwaxreissues.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Onfrailwingsofvanityandwaxreissues.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk  21:52, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Crafters Version
I have a fair idea, yes. But most probably you can wait until February when they do a Australian farewell tour with Crafter on vocals. The cd will be re-released then. Jaredpaik 00:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Yourundergroundsound.com has it. Rapidshare or something link. Just rough demos. Last 2 songs are cut off i believe. The cd will be distributed through Metal Blade in the states. And yes, Crafter is confirmed to do the farewell shows. So much bad blood with Ed it's not funny.

Speedy deletion of At The Throne of Judgment
A tag has been placed on At The Throne of Judgment requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Travis talk  19:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

At The Throne of Judgment
The best thing you could do for this article is to provide multiple reliable, independent sources so that the band's notability is proven. There are plenty of bands that go on national tours that aren't notable enough for Wikipedia articles, for instance Far Too Jones. Providing these sources also necessary to fulfill Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 20:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

At the Throne of Judgement
Response to your question on my talk: I moved it because my understanding of WP:NAME is that we frankly don't care how they spell it themselves. For instance, k.d. lang would be capitalized (to K.D. Lang), based on our manual of style. The same is true here. We meet our consistency rules, not their trademark desires. I will not move it back immediately, to give you time to find me another reference that demonstrates that I'm incorrect - which is always possible - and if so we can rediscuss. Otherwise, I'm moving it back. - Philippe | Talk 15:18, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:TheSleeping2006promo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:TheSleeping2006promo.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Speedy deletion of The Arcanum Order
A tag has been placed on The Arcanum Order requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

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.

Replaceable fair use File:As Artifacts 2012.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:As Artifacts 2012.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 12:58, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Daniel Egan

Daniel Egan (c. 1803 – 16 October 1870) was an Australian politician who served as Mayor of Sydney in 1853. He was also a member of the New South Wales Parliament.

Egan was born in Windsor, New South Wales and was a foreman at the Government Dockyards, Sydney from 1824 to its closure in 1835. He then went into business and acquired several trading and whaling vessels but went bankrupt in 1843 and later became a wine and spirit merchant. He became an alderman of the Sydney City Council on its creation in 1842, resigning due to his bankruptcy. He returned as an alderman in 1846, rising to mayor in 1853. He purchased two 40 acre blocks of land in Beacon Hill in 1857.

Egan was elected to the Legislative Council on 1 April 1854, representing the Pastoral District of Maneroo. In April 1856 he was elected at the first election to the Legislative Assembly, representing Maneroo, which was renamed Monara in 1858. He was defeated for Monara at the 1859 election, but had been elected for the adjoining district of Eden which he held until 1869. He was defeated for Eden in December 1869, but won the election for Monara in January 1870. From 27 October 1868 until his death he was the Postmaster-General of New South Wales in the second Robertson and fifth Cowper ministries.

Egan died on October 16, 1870 at his home in the Sydney harbourside suburb of Watsons Bay.

Stockholm commuter rail

Stockholm commuter rail (Stockholms pendeltåg) is the commuter rail system in Stockholm County, Sweden. The system is an important part of the public transport in Stockholm, and is controlled by Storstockholms Lokaltrafik. The tracks are state-owned and administered by the Swedish Transport Administration, while the operation of the Stockholm commuter rail services itself has been contracted to SJ AB since March 2024.

History
Local trains have been operated on the mainline railways around Stockholm since the late nineteenth century. At the beginning, local rail services were part of the Swedish State Railways, but in the late-1960s, the responsibility for these services was transferred to Stockholm County, which incorporated it with the ticketing system of Stockholm Transport. New trains were bought, stations were modernised, and the Stockholm commuter rail network was developed with an aim of making it more metro-like. Originally the system was branded as SL förortståg (SL suburban train), and later as SL lokaltåg (SL local/commuter train). Only in the 1980s did the system officially become known as Stockholms pendeltåg.

In its first year of operation there was only one route which went from Södertälje södra (now Södertälje Hamn) to Kungsängen via Stockholm Central Station. On 1 June 1969, the system was extended to Märsta via a branch located after Karlberg Station (sv) and a new service was created in which trains on the Kungsängen branch terminated at Stockholm C instead. In 1975 another branch line opened to Västerhaninge, with a single-track shuttle service to Nynäshamn. Trains on the Kungsängen branch now terminated at Västerhaninge instead of Stockholm C and which now forms part of the modern line 35.

From 1986 until 1996, important improvements were made to the railways around Stockholm. Single-track stretches were upgraded to double tracks, and some double-track stretches were upgraded to four-track, allowing the commuter trains to run with less interference from other rail services. The service frequency was gradually increased, and from 2001 most stations on the network are served by trains at regular 15-minute intervals, with additional trains during rush hours.

In 2001, the northwestern arm of the network was extended from Kungsängen to Bålsta. A southern infill station at Årstaberg was inaugurated in 2006, in order to connect with the then new Tvärbanan tram system. A new station at Gröndalsviken opened on the southeastern Västerhaninge-Nynäshamn shuttle on 18 August 2008.

Since 9 December 2012, it has been possible for Stockholm commuter rail trains to stop at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Journeys take 38 minutes from Arlanda C station to Stockholm C, and 18 minutes from Arlanda C to Uppsala C. Discussions on the expansion began in December 2007. The airport has had express service from Stockholm Central through Arlanda Express since 1999, and was also reachable by bus from Märsta station. The implementation required negotiations between Stockholm Transport and Arlanda Express, who had operating rights for the tracks.

A rail tunnel underneath central Stockholm began construction in 2008 and opened on 10 July 2017. This new tunnel, known as Stockholm City Line (Citybanan; lit. ‘the city line’), is intended for the exclusive use of the Pendeltåg system, and splits commuter traffic onto separate tracks from long-distance trains while travelling through the city. This eases the rail systems' congestion problems, and permits Stockholm Transport to schedule more frequent service. It also allows more frequent service for other trains, increasing the capacity for large parts of the Swedish rail network since many trains go to and from Stockholm. Two new underground stations, Stockholm City Station (located under T-Centralen, both stations with connections to Stockholm Central Station) and Stockholm Odenplan station; located under Odenplan metro station, replacing Karlberg Station) were built as part of the Citybanan project.

A new station called Vega, located on the Nynäs Line in Haninge Municipality between Skogås and Handen stations, opened on 1 April 2019 after almost four years of construction. Vega was also the name of a small halt on the Nynäs Line which existed between 1929 and 1973, although it was built at a different location from the current Vega station.

Operation of the Stockholm commuter rail lines has been contracted to private companies since 2000. The first franchise holder was Citypendeln (sv), which operated the Stockholm commuter rail from 2000 until 17 June 2006. From 18 June 2006 until 10 December 2016, the network was operated by Stockholmståg (sv), a subsidiary of SJ AB, the former Swedish State Railways company. On 11 December 2016, MTR Nordic took over the franchise on a ten-year contract, with an option to extend for a further four. In May 2023, SL decided not to extend MTR Nordic's contract to operate the Stockholm commuter rail beyond 2026, citing service delivery issues. On 1 November 2023, SL awarded an emergency contract to SJ AB, which took over operations from March 2024.

Lines
After the rerouting of December 2017, there are two lines on most railways, with different destinations. On top of this, some trains are from this time quick skip-stop trains, 42X and 43X (named with an X after the line number), which skip around four stops per tour.

The shorter line 48 in the southwest connects Gnesta to Södertälje. Line 40 connects Uppsala C in the north to Södertälje in the southwest via Arlanda C, Upplands Väsby and Stockholm City Station, this branch from Uppsala C to Upplands Väsby (where it joins line 41 to Södertälje) used by Line 40 utilises the existing infrastructure of the Arlanda Line and a part of the East Coast Line sharing tracks and platforms with regional and long distance trains.

The line to Nynäshamn beyond Västerhaninge is mostly single track with passing loops. Previously, short platforms and limited passing places meant that a change of train had to be made in Västerhaninge, but as of 2013 the line has been improved with longer platforms and additional loops, and all services are now run through to Stockholm and Bålsta.

Trains operate every 30 minutes from 5 am to 1 am every day, with 15-minute intervals during the daytime. Additional trains during rush hours give an average of $7 1/2$ minutes intervals for many stations, and trains every $4 1/2$ minutes on the central parts. Line 40, 48 and the outer parts of the railway to Nynäshamn (from Västerhaninge) are served less frequently, with up to one hour between trains on weekends.

As of 2022, 342,000 passengers use Stockholm commuter trains on an ordinary weekday. This is almost half of the total number of train passengers in Sweden, the metro and trams not included.

Stations
There are 53 stations in the network, four of which are beyond the borders of Stockholm County. Eight stations connect with regional and long-distance trains, three connect with the light-rail tram system Tvärbanan, and four stations have access to the Stockholm metro. Several stations are important interchanges to local buses.

Most stations are of a similar style, with an island platform in a ground-level location with one or two exits, turnstiles, and a staffed ticket office. A few interchange stations have multiple platforms. The stations south of Västerhaninge and Södertälje are smaller, and have no ticket vending facilities; passengers buy their tickets from the train conductor on these parts of the network. The smallest station is Hemfosa, which has approximately 100 boarding passengers per day.

The stations are marked with a J symbol, which just stands for the generic term "järnvägsstation" (i.e. railway station) and is similar to the T symbol used by the Stockholm underground railway stations ("tunnelbanestation").

Rolling stock
Since the opening of the Stockholm City Line (Citybanan) on 10 July 2017, only one train type, the X60 Coradia Nordic trains from Alstom is currently used on the network, due to the use of platform screen doors on the Citybanan. A total of 71 X60 trains were delivered between 2005 and 2008 to replace secondhand X420 trains previously operated by Deutsche Bahn in Germany, and which were imported into Sweden by the then-operator Citypendeln to temporarily increase capacity on the Pendeltåg network. A full-length train with two X60 units measures 214 m. In 2016, 46 trains of a new generation of the Coradia Nordic family called X60B entered service to replace the X10 trains originally delivered between 1983 and 1993. The maximum speed of the X60 and X60B trains is 160 km/h.
