Talk:Michael McDonald (musician)

Links to this article have been fixed
When the original Michael McDonald page was moved here to make room for a new disambiguation page, none of the links to this article were cleaned up -- and there were a LOT of them! I've now taken care of that oversight. Engineer Bob 09:29, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Subjective Stuff
As much as I would like to put that McDonald "Single handedly destroyed music" and that he "broke up one of the best bands ever" its not really wikipedia style. DELETED! —Preceding unsigned comment added by RickO5 (talk • contribs) 11 September 2006

Without a doubt, McDonald has the sexiest male voice around, and the looks, the keyboard skills (try to imitate his style) and the songwriting ablity to match.CuteMama1 (talk) 16:15, 19 September 2008 (UTC)CuteMama1

This article is a MESS. I don't have time to fix it now, but I think it's a mild disgrace. The whole 2000's section looks like a bunch of one-liners from publicists. The information is all good, but the presentation is awful. Any other fans out there who'd like to see Mike's wiki page look nicer? Or maybe Mike's publicist has an intern who can do the job for me? :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SugarKeys (talk • contribs) 07:42, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Is Michael McDonald (singer) a baritone or tenor?

Thanks Bob. (He sounds like a tenor to me, too!) Pdfpdf 02:46, 16 July 2007 (UTC) TENOR - Baritones can not hit those high notes he's famous for! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.193.215.23 (talk) 00:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

He is definitely a tenor, and his "head voice" or "falsetto" is in countertenor register. He is not a baritone. If his bio says he's a baritone it's incorrect. His bio could also say he's president of the USA but would that make it correct? Of course not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.146.67 (talk) 19:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC) Album links The 1982 If That's What It Takes links to a Celine Dion French album and Blink of an Eye links to a Star Trek Voyager episode

 * Tribal44 has changed tenor to baritone. Is consensus in the future here, people? Patricia Meadows (talk) 05:52, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

He is a baritone. I have a source. Tribal44 (talk) 15:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)Tribal44

Tribal44's source is StubHub, a ticket seller, those musicologists. I have a source too, my own musical education. Chart his register on a music staff and you'll realize he's absolutely and technically, a tenor. Singers out there- try and match his register, if you can reach it.Dcrasno (talk) 03:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Can we end this nonsense already? Someone has changed tenor to baritone again! I hope my changing it back to tenor is the last time. Tribal44's source is a ticket seller- Engineer Bob defers to Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic.com who is a writer not a musician (I guess, or both). Can someone at Wiki please email Allan Pollack, the musicologist, who critiqued and analyzed the entire Beatles catalogue. As a musician, I guarantee he'll tell all the baritonephiles that Michael is a tenor- positively. allanwpollack@hotmail.comDcrasno (talk) 03:41, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Can you folks at Wiki, after you email Allan Pollack (see above post), to delete the two "source references" to Allmusic.com(2) ands Stub Hub(1)?; they're going to become inaccurate and I won't know how to do it.Dcrasno (talk) 04:44, 4 March 2009 (UTC) Here we go again! Whoever changed it to baritone again- at least go to the discussion page and talk about it.Dcrasno (talk) 17:37, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

 * You know, there are much, much worthier debates on WP than this. But I'm starting to enjoy it nonetheless. It's kind of hilarious that anyone really cares enough to pick a fight. Why don't we take a Solomonic approach and call him an alto? Or a tenitone? Patricia Meadows (talk) 03:18, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree with User:Patricia Meadows that this has become ridiculous but for me, accuracy is important. MMc is one of the finest vocalists in all R & R. and I want his bio to be accurate. I've added to and edited articles about music and musicians many times because I am a musican and I've never been challenged or deleted except once about a particular segment about the Beatles. When I "speak" about music, I know what I'm talking about, not just opinioning or guessing. So, here we go again.Dcrasno (talk) 15:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

And BTW, why he be descibed as having a "deceptive, husky..." voice if he was a baritone? What would be the deception? The deception is that he is a tenor.Dcrasno (talk) 15:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

I have a couple of points that need to be made here. First is that the classification of voices in the 'fach' system was conceived for, and continues to only be applicable to voices singing CLASSICAL music. The way a singer of pop music operates their voice doesn't betray the markers that a voice instructor would be able to use to classify their voice. So really, this whole discussion is really silly. Second, Michael McDonald does sing (and seems to sing quite comfortably) in a tenor range, even though labeling him a tenor is meaningless without hearing what he sounds like after years of classical voice study. Notice that the article speaks of his range, and not specifically what he is. It's possible to sing in a tenor range and not be a tenor. It would just be taxing on a voice to do so. So... the article should stay as "tenor range". He doesn't sing in a baritone range. 67.161.125.217 (talk) 08:16, 30 April 2010 (UTC)tkeller 4-30-10

 * I don't care what he is. I just love him! Taking it to the streets is my anthem. Jeff Agnew, Middletown, DE, Dodge 4x4. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.66.124.31 (talk) 17:21, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

I come from a classical background, and I agree that it can be a bit silly to try to shoehorn pop performers into the same vocal categories. But his voice is super-deep, and his natural range, were he to be singing classical repertoire, is the baritone range. In pop music, calling a man a tenor or a baritone isn't so much about what range he's singing in, it's more about how deep his voice is. That's why Jim Morrison and Mike McDonald are baritones, and Steve Perry is a tenor. In fact, Mike is rather low as baritones go; if he were assigned a role in a choir, he'd most likely be a "bass-baritone."SugarKeys (talk) 07:48, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

I have never heard Michael McDonald sing in any voice other than "falsetto" or a "head voice," and frequently singing up to D5 and higher. This is not in a Baritone range, and a Baritone wouldn't be tasked to sing this high, even singing pop--an operatic baritone's highest note is Bb4, and this is a "Light Baritone," who is considered almost a tenor. Bill Medley is a pop Baritone, and a quick comparison of Bill's singing to Michael's singing debunks this notion that Michael's singing is in the baritone range. Michael's singing is in Bobby Hatfield's range, not Bill's. The comment about him being a Bass-Baritone is particularly ridiculous. Bing Crosby was a popular Bass-Baritone, particularly at the end of his career, singing down to E2 and never going above C4 (middle C). Barry White is a Bass-Baritone--'nuff said. Johnny Cash and Junior Brown are country Bass-Baritones. Listen to "Ring of Fire", then to "Sweet Freedom", and you'll find the latter is two octaves at a minimum above the former. I don't know if Michael McDonald's full voice is in the baritone range. His pop singing is in the counter-tenor range.Weyandt (talk) 14:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

 * The comment above yours addresses this. Baritone describes an essential characteristic of his voice, not the range in which he typically sings. Many singers typically sing outside their natural range. I have no personal opinion as to whether McDonald is a baritone or a tenor (although he absolutely is not a countertenor), but it wouldn't matter if I did; we have a reliable source saying he's a baritone and no alternative source to refute it. Rivertorch (talk) 16:03, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Steely Dan
Could you move the Steely Dan part. He toured with the band but is not a recurring member —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knowitallmusic (talk • contribs) 18:58, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

 * The Steely Dan section is totally misplaced, and the paragraph detailing his work with Steely Dan ends with a non-sequitur about seeing a Doors concert. The title "Early Years" is totally wrong for the text that is there; it should be replaced with a section on Steely Dan. Trashbird1240 (talk) 20:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Editing Solo Career section
This section was poorly written and packed with too many details in no particular order; it also had no references whatsoever. I have deleted much of the section, re-written it and added references. Patricia Meadows (talk) 14:52, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

West Coast Pop?
User 216.164.57.137 has added "West Coast Pop" to the Genre section in the infobox. Aside from the fact that "West Coast Pop" redirects (rather inexplicably) to "Professional wrestling aerial techniques," I am unconvinced that it adds anything to the article, and should be deleted. Patricia Meadows (talk) 03:52, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * There should be a Yacht Rock category. 98.226.15.142 (talk) 02:08, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

2000–present: A big list of stuff
Do we really have to list every incidental pop culture appearance the man has made? I propose trimming this down; if you disagree, please speak up. MatthewBurton (talk) 02:11, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

 * No, it needs trimming. I used to catch some of this stuff as it was added, but nowadays it mostly slips by me. It might help if we had some sort of threshold for mentioning his appearances. Rivertorch (talk) 02:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
 * This is hardly limited to this one article, but here we go: is it really "notable" that he appeared on 30 Rock, American Idol and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, but not notable that he appeared with the Doobie Brothers on What's Happening!!? I can go to any website and witness a collective lack of memory and shameless promotion of modern-day pop culture without seeing it mirrored on here.
 * Here's another problem which manifests itself in too many articles of this type. Even music-centric sources mention his upbringing in humble, working-class surroundings as the son of a St. Louis bus driver. Yet, on Wikipedia, we treat such details as irrelevant because it has nothing to do with music? I only phrase the question this way because it seems that most musician biographies I read strive to be similarly hopelessly one-dimensional. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 09:29, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Then all we need is clear, objective definitions of the terms employed ("humble" "working-class"), and authoritative verification that the subject fits the criteria, or at least claims such. I mean, really, I know what you're getting at and often experience frustration, but it readily turns into "rabbit hole" debates about the definition of words used to define the criteria! Weeb Dingle (talk) 18:52, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Peacock Wording Replacement
Just replace "soulful" with "distinctive." The first is PR. Replacement conveys individuality and recognizability. Sounds less like the work of an agent or fan(atic). Tapered (talk) 16:40, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but not quite correct. Did you read the source? It's the reason why the source is there (or vice versa). And although the word "distinctive" is also in the source, it says, "soulful baritone", not "distinctive baritone". —Musdan77 (talk) 05:26, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Until soulful is linked to another article or outside source that defines it in a clear, objective manner, it is An Opinion, and at best ought to be bracketed in quotes to indicate its subjectivity. Even then, in order to remain, it ought to be attributed to some "objective" music/culture reviewer's stated opinion. Weeb Dingle (talk) 18:57, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Simon Doull

Simon Blair Doull (born 6 August 1969) is a New Zealand radio personality, commentator and former international cricketer. He was a right-arm medium pacer, who was capable of swing bowling. He was plagued by injuries as a result of which his international career was cut short. Playing for the New Zealand national cricket team, he figured in just 32 Tests and 42 ODIs, taking 98 and 36 wickets respectively. Doull's finest hour arrived when he took 7–65 against India in the Boxing Day Wellington Test in 1998. He played his last Test, against Australia, in March 2000 before turning to commentary and broadcasting.

He is the younger brother of Lincoln Doull, who played for Wellington in the early 1990s.

Doull took his career best bowling figures of 7 for 65 in the Boxing Day Test in 1998 against India at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. Due to that performance, he reached a career-high ranking of 6 in the ICC Player Rankings on 26 December 1998.

Doull suffered persistent injuries throughout his career, including numerous back problems and a career-threatening knee injury during New Zealand's 1999 tour of England.

After cricket
Currently, Doull works as a cricket commentator for New Zealand's Magic Talk. Until recently he was part of the Morning Rumble team on the radio station, The Rock.

He has been part of the commentary team for the Indian Premier League since 2008.

He was also selected as part of commentary team for ICC T20 worldcup 2024

CP Lee

Christopher Paul Lee (19 January 1950 – 25 July 2020) was a British musician, author, broadcaster and lecturer from Manchester, England.

Biography
Lee was born in Didsbury, south Manchester. He was a writer, broadcaster, lecturer and performer who started playing in the North West folk and beat clubs of the 1960s with his band Greasy Bear and became a linchpin of the punk rock explosion with his next band Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias. In 1977 Lee wrote the "snuff-rock" musical Sleak, which ran for several months in London's Royal Court Theatre and the Roundhouse. It subsequently had a run at Privates in New York City in 1980. Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias split up in 1982 after releasing three albums. Lee then wrote and performed a tribute show of routines by Lord Buckley, first in Manchester and later in other places including Amsterdam, New York and London. He also worked as a music journalist.

In 1979, Lee and John Scott released their debut album as "Gerry & the Holograms". The title track is claimed by some to have been ripped off by New Order's "Blue Monday".

When We Were Thin (published October 2007) is a personal memoir in which Lee recounts how he produced one side of the first Factory Records release, ate muffins with Andy Warhol, drove a table with Wreckless Eric and was Elvis Costello for a day.

Lee's other works included books about Bob Dylan, one of which, Like The Night (Revisited), focuses on the shout of 'Judas' aimed at Dylan at his Manchester Free Trade Hall performance in 1966, which was the climax of Martin Scorsese's documentary of Dylan, No Direction Home. Another book, Shake, Rattle & Rain, is adapted from his PhD thesis on Manchester music-making.

CP Lee retired after being a course leader in film studies and senior lecturer at the University of Salford, and continued writing and presenting talks, as well as documentaries for BBC Radio and TV. From 2004, he was also a co-trustee of the Manchester Digital Music Archive.

Lee died on 25 July 2020, aged 70.

Kedleston

Kedleston is a village and civil parish in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, approximately 4 mi north-west of Derby. Nearby places include Quarndon, Weston Underwood, Mugginton and Kirk Langley. The population at the 2011 Census was less than 100. Details are included in the civil parish of Mackworth, Amber Valley.

History
Kedleston was mentioned in the Domesday book as belonging to Henry de Ferrers and having a mill. It was valued at 20 shillings.

The name of the village derives from Ketel’s tūn, the homestead belonging to Ketel, from the Old Norse Ketill

The medieval village was demolished by the Curzons to build Kedleston Hall, the historic residence of the Curzon family now run by the National Trust. The parish Church adjacent to the hall All Saints is all that remains of the original village and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

Notable residents
Robert of Courçon, English cardinal, was born here in the 12th century.

George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston (1859–1925), Viceroy of India and Foreign Secretary.

William Zeal

Sir William Austin Zeal (5 December 1830 – 11 March 1912) was an Australian railway engineer and politician, Senator for Victoria in the Parliament of Australia.

Zeal was born at Westbury, Wiltshire, England, the son of Thomas Zeal, a wine merchant, and Ann, nee Greenland. Educated privately, Zeal obtained his diploma as a surveyor and engineer, and came to Melbourne in 1852. Employed as an engineer in charge of railway construction by private contractors, Zeal was also employed in the government service for some years. In 1864, he was elected to Victorian Legislative Assembly as one of the three members for the seat of Castlemaine.

During his campaign for election, Zeal strongly criticised the ability of the Victorian Railways engineer-in-chief, Thomas Higinbotham. In 1865, a select committee of the Victorian Parliament was set up to investigate Higinbotham's claim that Zeal had exaggerated the extent of his experience, and his implication that Zeal had acted corruptly when dealing with private railway construction contractors Cornish and Bruce, whom Zeal left the government service to work for. The committee exonerated Zeal.

Having joined forces with Sir William Mitchell in a station in the Riverina, Zeal resigned his seat in December 1865. Drought conditions caused him to resume his practice as an engineer in 1869, including the design of the Moama-Deniliquin railway. In 1871, he was again elected for Castlemaine, but the pressure of business caused him to resign in 1874.

In 1882, he entered the Victorian Legislative Council as a representative of the North Central Province and, in April 1892, he became Postmaster-General in the Shiels ministry. He resigned in November and was elected president of the Legislative Council. Zeal was re-elected to that position in 1894, 1897 and 1900, and was one of the representatives of Victoria at the 1897 federal convention that worked towards federation of the six Australian colonies.

At the first federal election in 1901, Zeal was elected to the Australian Senate as a Protectionist Party representative for Victoria. In 1906, then in his seventy-sixth year, he declined to stand due to age concerns.

Zeal was a director of several leading Melbourne financial companies and retained his interest in them until his death, following an operation, in 1912. Created KCMG in 1895, Zeal never married.

Boundary Treaty of 1970

The Boundary Treaty of 1970 is a treaty between the United States and Mexico that settled all outstanding boundary disputes and uncertainties related to the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte) border between them.

The most significant dispute remaining after the Chamizal Settlement in 1963 involved the location of the boundary in the area of Presidio, Texas, and Ojinaga, Chihuahua. The river channel was relocated to approximate conditions existing prior to the dispute that arose from changes in the course of the river in 1907. The International Boundary and Water Commission was charged with its implementation. The American-Mexican Treaty Act of October 25, 1972 authorized participation by the United States IBWC section. The project commenced in 1975 and completed in 1977.

Provisions
The river was relocated in two reaches by the construction of a new 4.7 miles channel in one reach and 3.6 miles in the other. The relocated channel was aligned in the reach above Presidio-Ojinaga so as to transfer from north to the south side of the river 1606.19 acre and in the second reach downstream from the two cities so as to transfer from the south to the north side a net area of 252 acre. It is an earth channel with dimensions patterned after the natural channel. The United States acquired 1969.22 acre of American agricultural land that was used for the transfer of lands to Mexico and for half of the river relocation.

Also, the channel of the Rio Grande in the Hidalgo–Reynosa area was relocated to transfer from Mexico to the United States 481.68 acre by constructing a new 1.6 miles earth channel. This transfer was made in exchange for the transfer from the United States to Mexico of two tracts of land, the Horcón Tract, after 1906 located south of the Rio Grande, and Beaver Island (La Isla de Morteritos), located in the river south of Roma, Texas, comprising 481.68 acre in total. This provision transferred to Mexico the portion of the town of Río Rico, Tamaulipas, located within the Horcón Tract.

The cost of the two relocations was shared equally by the two governments, with the United States performing the greater part of the work required in the Presidio-Ojinaga area, and Mexico performing the work required in the Hidalgo-Reynosa area and a small part of the work required in the Presidio-Ojinaga area.

HSwMS Småland (J19)

HSwMS Småland (J19) is a Swedish Halland-class destroyer. She and HSWMS Halland (J18) were the only ones built of their class. Two more ships were ordered but they were never completed.

She was decommissioned in 1979, and since 1987 has been a museum ship at Maritiman in Gothenburg, where she is the largest vessel on display.

Design
Småland is 121 meters long and 12.6 meters wide. The hull was designed with a forecastle. From the forecastle and astern, a long superstructure appeared, which made it possible for the crew to reach the entire ship without having to go outdoors, thus minimizing the risk of exposure to radioactive contamination. Unlike previous destroyer classes, whose superstructures was built of aluminum, the Halland-class was built of steel. Aluminum gave ships a lower weight but had the disadvantage in a case of fire, when it melts at a much lower temperature than steel. To keep the weight down, therefore, corrugated galvanised iron was used in the superstructure.

The machinery consisted of steam boilers and steam turbine are. Two Penhoët boilers delivered steam with a pressure of 40 bar and the temperature of 420 degrees to two de Laval turbines. The effect was a total of 58,000 horsepower, which gave the ship a maximum speed of 35 knots (65 km/h).

The main armament consisted of two fully automatic double Bofors 120 mm gun model 1950 which were initially directed from a central sight which was later replaced by a new artillery radar sight connected to the radar. The secondary armament consisted of a double Bofors 57 mm anti-aircraft gun model 1950 and six single Bofors 40 mm L/70. The former was initially controlled from a central sight on the bridge and later by a digital fire control housed in the characteristic radome over the bridge deck. The torpedo armament consisted of two tube racks with a total of eight torpedo tubes. Regarding anti-submarine warfare, there was a hydrophone housed in a dome under the forebody which could be retracted into the hull when the hydrophone was not used. When a submarine was discovered, eight Bofors 375 mm rocket launchers each with a 100 kg charge and a range of 300 - 1,200 meters could be fired in a pattern around, above and below the target from two directable four-barrelled launchers. In the stern there was also a mounting with two launchrails for firing the Robot 08 anti-ship missile.

History
Småland was built at Eriksbergs Mekaniska Verkstad in Gothenburg and was launched on 23 October 1952 when she was christened by Admiral Helge Strömbäck. After extensive work on equipment and installation of all components, the ship was delivered to the Swedish Navy on 12 January 1956.

During the first time, Småland together with the sister ship Halland constituted a destroyer division. When the cruisers HSWMS Tre Kronor and HSWMS Göta Lejon were scrapped in the early 1970s, the ships of the Halland-class were the largest and most powerful vessels in the Swedish Navy, and later they became the leader ships for each their destroyer flotilla.

Småland was taken out of service in 1979 and decommissioned on 1 July 1984. In 1987, she was handed over to the Maritiman, where she remains as a museum ship and is the last surviving Swedish destroyer.

POPBot was the Preemptive Open Proxy Blocker bot. It scanned for open proxies and tried to edit wikipedia through them for verification, and then blocked them. Most of the anonymous edits to subpages of this one, where the bot in action.

For more information, see the discussions at Wikipedia talk:Bots/Archive 10 and Wikipedia talk:Bots/Archive 5, or ask me.

Tests were run here, and an archive of old scans can be found at /archive.

Form letter for ISPs
There's an open HTTP proxy at $IP:$PORT, which sends all the requests it gets through the $ISP proxies. This is causing some trouble for us at Wikipedia, as we generally block open proxies as they're an easy way for vandals to disrupt our work. Doing so for the $ISP proxies would also prevent numerous good editors from editing wikipedia however; Could you please close this open proxy or prevent it from using your shared proxy so it can be blocked individually without causing collateral damage? Thanks in advance.

History of Yokohama, Japan
I don't think you should be the one thanking me for my work on requested articles. I simply update the pages, while you have been doing the far more valuable and difficult task of actually creating them. Sorry for simply deleting one of your contributions. I didn't feel the redirect was very useful to readers, and was created more as an easy way to remove a requested article from the list. A reader looking for an article on the history of Yokohama would expect more than the few paragraphs at the Yokohama article. Major cities normally get their own history pages, e.g. History of Manchester or History of Chicago, and Yokohama is certainly deserving of a longer history as well. Proper procedure would have been for me to list it at redirect for deletion, and then we could have discussed the issue. Unfortunately now that the request pages are cleared by a bot, leaving a link blue dooms it to automatic removal from every requested page within 24 hours. - SimonP 11:49, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

CSD
Hi there. I saw your vote on Articles for deletion/Cam Wilson for a SD. I may be wrong, but I think G4 of WP:CSD disallows the SD of articles previously deleted as SD. It looks like that article (or some version of it) was previously SD from another page. Do you know otherwise? Just thought I'd clarify. Kind regards— Encephalon |  ζ   10:37:45, 2005-09-01 (UTC)
 * You are quite correct about the title issue, Proto; what I was referring to, however, is the sentence that follows: This does not apply to content in userspace, content that was speedily deleted, or to content undeleted according to undeletion policy. (emphasis mine). I do believe Cam Wilson was speedied, as I noted on the AfD page, thus making a re-speedy a doubtful proposition. Interpreting CSD to be included in the "deletion policy" of the first sentence renders the second sentence insensible. Furthermore, there is a widespread practice on WP to use "deletion policy" to refer to the set of practices found on the page WP:DEL. You are quite right that, aside from this objection, a recreation of Cam Wilson at Cameron Wilson will not make a difference.— Encephalon |  ζ   10:51:43, 2005-09-01 (UTC)

 * Replied over there, Proto.— Encephalon |  ζ   11:18:13, 2005-09-01 (UTC)

Proto, there's been quite a discussion on this issue after we had ours. It turns out that the G4 rule was in fact intended to mean something more closely resembling your initial understanding of the rule. Some editors have been making attempts to write a clearer G4, and their efforts may be seen here and here, on the CSD Talk page. As you had an interest in this, I thought I'd give you a heads up; I'm sure your comments will be useful.— encephalon έγκέφαλος   10:54:56, 2005-09-06 (UTC)

While I can see what you mean by adding the "cleanup" template, the article also needs to be brought into Wikipedia standard style (the song/single infobox, etc.); the two are different — the lack of the infobox isn't a matter of article quality, but of standardisation. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 16:18, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi! Just wondered why you moved the article about théodore moret to théodore moretus? I don't really care but it seems to me the title should be moret since he's born with that name.. Cheers, Julien Tuerlinckx 14:34, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks on African writers
I've been working some on the "very long requests" for the last week or so. I did better on American politicians, but I've been doing okay with the authors listed. Many of them were African writers and I had a heck of time trying to find the ones you managed. Anyway ut's nice to wake up to see the help on that, appreciated.--T.

Thanks!
Hey, thanks for the Wikimedal! People said I'd stir up a controversy but I don't see why it is. Afterall, it's all just cruft. By the way, I love the abbreviation that you have for cruft! That's pretty cool.

P.S. A guy I work with and I spend most of our nights reading the Wikipedia while at work. I walked over to his terminal a couple weeks ago to find him reading the shoe polish article. I remember it because the articles about household items kind of make me chuckle. They're so ever-present but most people don't think about the history of their every day stuff.

Booth capturing

Booth capturing, or booth looting, is electoral fraud in which party loyalists or hired criminals "capture" a polling booth and vote in place of legitimate voters to ensure that a particular candidate wins. It is a form of voter suppression.

India
It is a general rule in Indian elections that agents of every contesting candidates need to be present at the booth. However, they are in many areas threatened or assaulted and so leave the polling premises. The Election Commission of India has a general abbreviation that a section or half of one of Central Para Military Forces is enough to prevent incidents.

The first instance of booth capturing in India was recorded in the 1957 General Elections in Rachiyahi, in Begusarai District's Matihani assembly seat. The word came into prominent use in the media during the late 1970s and 1980s when the number of parties and candidates multiplied. This resulted in some Parties using underhand methods including booth capturing, especially in the rural India.

In 1989 the Representation of the People Act, 1951 was modified to include booth capturing as an offense punishable by law and countermanding or adjourning any poll that was booth captured. The development of the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) was also intended to make it harder for booth capturers to stuff the ballot boxes with their votes by enabling a five-minute delay between each vote entered as against hundreds of votes in the same time using ballot papers (stamped by a group of 3–4). The EVMs also possess a "close" button which can be used by the polling officer to deactivate the machines. Despite this, booth capturing continues to happen, albeit at a much reduced rate.

Nepal
Booth capturing was prevalent in the 1st Nepalese Constituent Assembly. Another election was required in 106 polling stations because of electoral fraud, which included booth capturing. Political parties have accused each other of booth capturing and demanded another election as recently as 2017.

FK Haugesund

Fotballklubben Haugesund (lit. 'Football Club Haugesund'), usually referred to as FK Haugesund or FKH, is a professional Norwegian football club from the city of Haugesund that plays in the top tier of the Norwegian football league system.

FK Haugesund previously played in the top division in 1996–1998 and 2000. The club have been runners-up in the Norwegian Cup in 2007 and 2019 as well as having competed in the qualifying stages for the UEFA Europa League in 2014–15, 2017–18 and 2019–20. The club's best achievement in the national league is the bronze medal in Eliteserien in 2013, and fourth place in the 2016 and 2018-seasons.

It was originally founded on 28 October 1993 after a merger between the Haugesund-based football clubs Djerv 1919 and SK Haugar. The club plays its home matches at the Haugesund Stadion near the city-centre of Haugesund. The stadium has a capacity of 8,754. Maakeberget is the official but independent supporter club of FK Haugesund.

1993-2000: A new era of football in the city of Haugesund
Fotballklubben Haugesund was originally founded on 28 October 1993 after local Haugesund-based football clubs Sportsklubben Haugar and Djerv 1919 merged their elite teams with the goal of establishing a team, with strong local roots, from the Haugaland-region in the top division in Norway. Teams in age-appropriate classes and for women was originally not a part of the deal in the merger. As of 2017 there have been talks of incorporating a women's team with uncertain future prospects, but with the possibility of a merger with Avaldsnes IL. The local football club SK Vard Haugesund was also present to participate in the merger, but in the first general meeting of the newly formed club, Vard chose to not to be part of the project. In the autumn of 2005, however, talks and negotiations to incorporate Vard were resumed, and since the 2007-season Vard has played the role as a farmer club for FK Haugesund. After FK Haugesund was established as a new club, it swapped places on the table with Sportsklubben Haugar in the 2nd Division, and Haugar and Djerv in 1919 started again in the lower divisions.

In the first season in the divisional system, 1994, FK Haugesund got promoted from the second division, under head-coach Conny Karlsson. Karlsson who unexpectedly did not get his contract renewed at Landskrona after promotion to Allsvenskan, went to take over the newly formed FK Haugesund. This became a formidable success with promotion in the debut season in 1994, a great debut in the 1st division with a 4th place in his second season, before promotion to Tippeligaen in 1996. After an impressive 9th place in Karlssons debut season in the top division, Haugesund got relegated in Karlsson's fifth season in 1998. However, the team again got promoted the following year, but ended with only one year in Tippeligaen. Even if Conny Karlsson's stay at FK Haugesund ended with relegation, he still is a popular figure among the supporter club of FK Haugesund, Maakeberget, having named club anthem after him ("Connys Englar")

The 2000s: Relegation, promotion and the Norwegian cup final
After having played four consecutive seasons in the first division after the club's relegation in 2000 from Tippeligaen, FK Haugesund relegated from the 1st division in 2004. The team thus spent the 2005 season in the 2nd division, however, FK Haugesund moved right back up after becoming the best team to advance from the 2nd division. The seasons 2006-2009 the club established itself as a stable team in the first division, under head coach Rune Skarsfjord, with growing potential of promotion to the Tippeligaen. In 2008 however, Rune Skarsfjord became extremely disliked by both players and members of the club and unpopular among fans, due to his brash and unfriendly persona and eventually got sacked   and was replaced with former long time-FK Haugesund-player Jostein Grindhaug. The 2009 season was a great success as the team won promotion once again the Tippeligaen. From the 2010 season the team has played in the Tippeligaen, now renamed Eliteserien. At the end of 2009, the club chose to start its own corporation for financial purposes.

The club's best performance in the Norwegian Cup came in 2007 when the club reached the final, as a 2nd division team. However the final at the Norwegian national arena, Ullevaal Stadium, on 11 November 2007, Lillestrøm SK won 2-0 after two goals by Canadian striker Olivier Occean. On their way to the final, FK Haugesund beat Nybergsund in the quarterfinals and Odd Grenland in the semi-final. This was also the fifth time a team from Haugesund has played a final in the cup - previously the city has been represented by Sportsklubben Haugar (1961, 1979), SK Vard Haugesund (1962, 1975). However, all four previous finals in the Norwegian Cup has ended with losses.

The 2010s: A proven club in the Eliteserien
After the promotion in 2009, FKH did relatively well both in terms of sporting results and financially. This meant the team were able to compete on the upper half of the table most seasons, with a team that in large part consisted of homegrown players from the Haugesund/Haugalandet-area.

In financial terms, the club has frequently been praised by sport commentators and journalists for being an effective, meticulous and well-driven club. This is due to the clubs focus on bringing up local talents rather than buying players elsewhere. In 2013 the club presented a profit of NOK 6.6 million NOK before tax, and a market revenues, ticket revenues of NOK 57.5 million in 2013, revenue was almost NOK 10 million more than budgeted (66.3 million). In 2012, the equity was estimated to NOK 6.8 million. At the end of the year it had risen to NOK 11.6 million. In 2019 FK Haugesund could once again present very good financial results, as one of 7 clubs in the Eliteserien. The Norwegian Football Association's presentation of club operations for the first six months of the year. This means that they were back in the green category after falling into the yellow category in the previous two reports.

In the first few years the team ended up in the middle of the table: Two sixth places in the 2010 and 2011 season were followed by a seventh place in 2012. In the 2013 season, the team's preliminary ranking came third, with third place. After the bronze, the results have been poorer, with 11th and 12th place in the following two years, before there was a rise in 2016 with 4 place. 2018 was again a strong year with either good placement in the series with a strong fourth place. In 2019 FK Haugesund reached the cup final for the second time after beating Odd 3–0, but in the final Viking became too strong with a 1–0 victory.

European tournament history
In 2014 FK Haugesund for the first time participated in the qualifying stages of the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa League. Welsh team Airbus UK Broughton was beaten 3-2 overall. In the second round Bosnian team FK Sarajevo won 3-2 overall.

In 2017 FK Haugesund once again got to participate in the qualifying stages of the UEFA Europa League. This time, the Northern-Irish team Coleraine easily got beaten 7-0 overall, before a 3–2 win at home over Polish team Lech Poznan thus followed by a 2–0 loss away and exit from the qualifying stages. In 2019 FK Haugesund got qualified for the UEFA Europa League qualification and went out with the lowest possible margin against PSV in the third qualifying round 0–1 at home, and 0–0 away. FK Haugesund beat Northern Irish Cliftonville in the first round, winning 6-1 overall, before beating Sturm Graz of Austria 2–0 at home in the second round, and 1-2 losses away, and thus 3-2 further overall.

Supporters and fan culture

Maakeberget (The Seagull Mountain or The Mountain of Seagulls) is the official but independent supporter club for FK Haugesund. The supporter club was founded on 8 May 1996. The origin of the name "Maakeberget" comes from the 3 gulls in the city's coat of arms and "The mountain inward the fjord and along the sea" when arriving to the city by sea. FK Haugesund has a strong presence in the city of Haugesund as well as in the Haugalandet-area, in general.

Maakebergets residence is the West Stand ("Vestre Stå") at Haugesund Stadion. The West stand is considered sacred ground among the supporters, not because there is anyone buried there, but because the supporters, who have their presence in the said stand, view this terrace as a temple for football in Haugesund. Maakeberget is a non-profit organization with strong democratic principles. There are no criteria that must be met to be a member, nor any age limit. The supporter club holds several member meetings a year, and the Board meets once a month. The board has a certain link to the management of the club, but still strives to keep the board / administration at arm's length. The supporter club also deals with the sale of supporter equipment in its own supporter shop, at the stadium and at Stamstedet on match days. All sales are based on dugnad, with a small profit to the Maakeberget, which goes back in full to the members with the main emphasis on support for away matches.

Maakeberget and supporters of FK Haugesund are often called "Maaker" ("Seagulls"), and sometimes "Arabs" by outside fans and commentators. However, FKH-supporters and people from Haugesund very rarely refer to themselves as "Arabs", and it is by some considered pejorative. A typical "maake" is often described as being born in the city, raised in the Flotmyr-part of the city of Haugesund, has little sympathy for rivals Viking FK and SK Brann, votes for right-wing Høyre or Progress Party (Norway) and has a passion, not only for the football team, but also for the city of Haugesund and the Haugalandet-area as a whole. However, one does not have to be "typical maake" at all to be a passionate supporter of the Fotballklubben Haugesund.

Community activities
FK Haugesund is involved in various community activities, most notably the UngJobb-project.

UngJobb is a collaboration project between FK Haugesund, Haugesund municipality, NAV and Haugaland Industri for youth that is outside the school and labor market. The project provides youth with training, work practices and individual guidance. The project aims the provide training for young people and show what it takes to get to work, as well as good values, attitudes, interactions, affiliation and motivation. The goal of the project is permanent work for all young people who are involved.

FK Haugesund has also been involved in the Abrac project. The project involves fundraising and support for the Abrac orphanage in Brazil.

Club rivalries
The main rival of FK Haugesund is Viking FK, and to a lesser degree SK Brann.

Viking is located in Stavanger, Rogaland, the same county as FK Haugesund. Viking is therefore the geographically closest rival to FK Haugesund, excluding Vard Haugesund. Viking is therefore considered the FKH's most important and biggest rival. Historically, SK Vard Haugesund have been perceived as minor local rivals due to their resistance in forming FK Haugesund in 1993.

The rivalries with Brann and Viking are often referred to as Vestlandsderbyet (the derby of Western Norway).

Stadium and facilities
The stadium has an official capacity of 8,754. The stadium is colloquially referred to as "Gamlå" (the Old One).

Discussions of a new stadium or an upgrade have been carried out since the mid 2000s. In 2005 there was a proposal to build an all-new 8,000-seat stadium at Flotmyr.

In a 2012 survey carried out by the Norwegian Players' Association among away-team captains, Haugesund Stadion was ranked ninth amongst league stadiums, with a score of 3.20 on a scale from one to five. Haugesund Stadion was previously a multi-purpose stadium, but the running track was removed after the 2012 season.

The venue has hosted Norway national under-21 football team matches twice, playing 1–2 against Denmark on 23 June 1976 and 1–0 against Portugal on 19 April 1994. As of the end of the 2013 season, Haugesund Stadion has been used for 122 top-league matches. These include 11 games with Djerv 1919 in 1976, Vard in 1988 and FK Haugesund in 1997–98, 2000 and since 2010.

Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004

The Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004 (asp 9) is an Act of the Scottish Parliament which provided, amongst other things, for the election of councillors to the local authorities in Scotland by the single transferable vote system.

The Commission on Local Government and the Scottish Parliament reported in June 2000. The introduction of proportional representation in local authority elections was a key demand of the Liberal Democrats when they entered into coalition with the Labour Party in the Scottish Executive.

 * too reduce height apprantly :} wierd!!! POds 15:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

This needs a lot of work
This tempate needs a lot of work. To claim some countries like Germany and Japan are "Rugby League playing nations" is boarding on ludicrous and seems to be nothing more than attempt to pass League off as an international sport. According to Rugby_league_in_Germany there are "100" players. Having lived in Japan, I can say that Rugby is a minor sport and Rugby League is unknown. Portugal_national_rugby_league_team says League is not played in Portugal, while at Rugby_league_in_Greece "Rugby league has never been played in Greece". Rugby_league_in_Italy "Today, the teams are made up mostly, if not by all, Italians living abroad or Australians of Italian ancestry". Malta has "yet to establish domestic rugby league within Malta"  The list goes on and on. I would suggest that at least 50% of the Rugby League articles could be merged into an "Amateur Rugby League teams based in Australia" Oh and for Lebanon, from the wikipedia article "The full Lebanon side remains dominated by players of Lebanese ancestry from Australia" Tancred 19:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Agree with you on some points. Think that it should be renamed nations with representative international football teams instead of calling them rugby league playing nations. The Australian socceroos team of 73 was dominated by foreign players as have many Irish soccer teams. Such a category would be an attack on rugby league football. No they should not be merged as many of the activities are overseas and in those countries whether they are from immigrants from those nations or not.ir

 * Australia's national team of 74 did have a fair number of immigrants in it, but those people had migrated to Australia, and were playing for Australian domestic clubs. It is in no way comparable to Rugby League in Portugal where Rugby League is not played, yet Portugal is somehow listed as a "Rugby League Playing Nation"Tancred 21:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

 * And the Portugal thing is one of the things I agree with you on, rugby league football has not been played in Portugal since it was banned in the thirties and the clubs reaffiiliated with rugby union. But most of the others have legitimate status as international teams.

 * Firstly they would be called Rugby League teams, not football teams.  And perhaps instead of just reverting my edits, you could work to improve this article.  Tancred 10:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Why? You would just revert it yourself. What you are doing is not an improvement, it is more of an ignorant attack to try to diminish the sport.

 * Ignorant attack?  I have provided evidence to support my edits as shown above. Tancred 12:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

 * No you have not. You have shown that you are ignorant and seeking to attack the international status of the sport.

 * You really have no idea just what you are trying to argue do you? And perhaps you could sign your comments in future?  Your other usernames know how to.Tancred 17:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

It is unfair to ignore lump Lebanon in weith some of the more dubious nations, they are more than a national team based in Australia. Grinner 20:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

What on earth is going with this template? I agree that a lot of these teams are dubious but can't that just be stated on the team page?

At the least the quote marks should taken away. If you want to say that the Italian team is based in Australia that's a fact but adding the quote marks is POV. GordyB16:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

What is going on is that an Australian soccer fan, who believes in the "world game" is attempting to attack and insult league. Just revert the vandal because the whole thing is unprecedented. The fact that he/she is a troll is clear from the fact that the only edits that are made by Tancred are at the time of an edit conflict. A soccer administrater banned the person that he/she was arguing with and so I feel it is a moral obligation that this person does not get their POV way to insult footy. I have nothing to do with the previous argument and actually have an active account under a different name. --Caesar34 10:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I have been editing wikipedia for a coupld of years now. I would be very interested to see some proof that you have another active account.  Most of your sockpuppets seem to be banned. See Suspected_sock_puppets/Ehinger222_%282nd%29 Tancred 11:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I have no problem removing the quote marks and will do so now. I think the big question is what is the point to this template. To me, it seems to be written to give the appearance that Rugby League is played in more countries than it is. I'm not saying how the template currently looks is how it should stay, but i don;t think countries like Portugal should be listed.Tancred 19:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Just revert it. The guy who is trying to "improve it" is a troll. --Tenuous walker 10:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Humm. You make a total of 2 edits on wikpedia.  One call me a vandal, the other a soccer troll.  I wonder if you are posting under a new name to get around a ban?Tancred 12:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Tancred's Place to make his case
As I have outlined above, League is not played in Portugal. It says so here According to Rugby league in Greece "Rugby league has never been played in Greece" According to Rugby league in Italy League is not played in Italy either. Rugby league in Malta states "Thus far, there is no domestic rugby league played in Malta"

The "national" teams for these countries are all based in Sydney, and are made up of Australians with heritage for each country.

I would also say that in many of the countries listed league us a very minor sport and they probably have no place on this template. (Japan and Germany spring to mind) Tancred 09:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * From here, it mentions rugby league as being played in Greece among others. Either way, the whole "Australia" thing makes me feel uncomfortable. As I understand it, it is only meant to be a list of rugby league nations links. --Rugby 666 10:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * From here, "Greece played the game with no less than eight local-based players, with many of them playing only their second ever game of 13-a-side football." So it is played in Greece as of now anyway, and will be more permanently s of next year "A number of plans for the Greek Rugby League have been put into place with a regular domestic competition to commence in 2007. " from , also backs it up as the first international played in Greece. --Rugby 666 10:26, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I would be happy for them to be moved when they actually move their national team to Greece. At the moment all the contacts (including the training ground are based in Sydney. .  Tancred 10:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * That is not uncommen in alot of sports to have their training in a different country. Nothing special there and not noteworthy, I thought the point you were trying to make is that only Australian immigrants play the sport, if that is not the case, than you really do not have one. --Rugby 666 10:42, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Revert
Despite the absurd and specious grouping in the first place, organised rugby league is played in all those nations. Furthermore, questions of legitimacy of those nations(which are completely uncited) can be dealt with on their page. The above link mentions all of the nations that you claim do not play there. {144.132.221.157 (Talk)}

 * Glad to see you are back with your usual trolling rubbish. let me quote for you. [Rugby league in Greece] - 'Rugby league has never been played in Greece', [Portugal national rugby league team] - 'Rugby league is not played in Portugal', [Rugby league in Italy] - Provides no evidence at all the sport is played in Italy, [Rugby league in Malta] - Again the only references are about Italian-Australians playing the sport in Australia.Tancred 16:23, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * what are you talking about? I said your grouping was wrong, as well as your attempt to change the name from national links to playing to justify a contentious edit that has been reverted countless times. Yes I am a troll, watch out for my snarl and demand for money next time you walk over a bridge????wtf??? the link the banned user(who you obviously believe is me) mentions above indicates that football is played there. From the article "A global game

Countries where organised rugby league is played:

American Samoa, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, Cook Islands, Czech Republic, England, Estonia, Fiji, France, Georgia, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Malta, Moldova, Morocco, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Norfolk Island, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Samoa, Scotland, Serbia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Tokelau, Tonga, Ukraine, United States, Wales, West Indies." {144.132.221.157 (Talk)}

Army Trail Road

Army Trail Road is a 16.4 mi county road in parts of DuPage and Kane Counties, Illinois. Army Trail Road begins at Illinois Route 25 in Wayne and ends at the Addison Village Hall east of John F. Kennedy Drive in a cul de sac in Addison. Parts of Army Trail Road are signed as DuPage County Highway 11 and Kane County Highway 20.

Route description
Army Trail Road begins at a junction with Illinois 25 in Wayne. From here, the road heads east through a residential forested area to County Highway 19 (Dunham Road). Past Dunham Road, the road briefly becomes County Highway 20 before entering DuPage County. The road continues east through Wayne to Munger Road, where it becomes County Highway 11. Army Trail Road then passes Illinois Route 59 and heads east along the border of Bartlett and Carol Stream. The route passes to the north of two small lakes before entering a developed residential area. It continues east through Bloomingdale and Glendale Heights, intersecting County Highway 4 (Bloomingdale Road) near Black Hawk Elementary School. After passing County Highways 5 (Glen Ellyn Road) and 24 (Walter Road), the road runs through a county forest preserve before intersecting Interstate 355 in Addison. Past the interstate, the road meets Illinois Route 53, the eastern terminus of County Highway 11. Army Trail Road continues through residential Addison, passing to the south of Addison Trail High School. The road ends at a cul-de-sac near Addison Village Hall; its terminus almost intersects U.S. Route 20, which connects to Army Trail Road via John F. Kennedy Drive.

History
Army Trail Road followed an Indian Trail for early settlers who traveled in covered wagons in the early 19th century that was part of a trail that continued on to Burlington Road running northwest until it reached Galena, IL. Its name is based on the fact that General Winfield Scott's troops used this route during the Black Hawk War. Near its end at the Fox River is a stone marking the graves of U.S. Army soldiers of the Indian War era.

Until December 1989, Army Trail Road was the southern terminus of the freeway portion of Illinois Route 53, which was subsequently designated I-355. In December 1989, the North-South Tollway was opened extending the limited access highway south to I-55 and reducing the traffic flow caused by the concurrency of Route 53 and a short stretch of Army Trail Road.

In late 2004, construction began on parts of the road to widen the road to six lanes. A divider was to be set in place including new turn lanes and paving of the road. Project has completed sections of the road in Addison and was expected to be completed in November 2005. It is four lanes in parts east of Illinois Highway 59 to a few hundred feet west of Illinois Highway 59 where it enters the Village of Wayne, Illinois. It remains two lanes to its western end at Illinois Highway 25 and is "rural" looking through Wayne and its horse farms.
