Neil Sullivan

Neil Sullivan (born 24 February 1970) is a professional football player and coach. He played as a goalkeeper from 1988 until 2013, playing in the Premier League for Wimbledon, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, and represented Scotland internationally.

He started his career with Wimbledon, and remained with The Dons for twelve years during which he made 181 league appearances. He also at times covered for the likes of Dave Beasant, Hans Segers and Paul Heald, and also spent a period on loan at Crystal Palace. In 2000, he moved to Tottenham Hotspur where he replaced Ian Walker as the club's favoured keeper. In 2003, he departed Tottenham after losing his place in the team and was signed as a back-up keeper by rivals Chelsea.

In 2004, he moved to freshly relegated Football Championship side Leeds United where he remained until 2007. Whilst at Leeds he eventually lost his place in the team and was loaned out to Doncaster Rovers in both 2006 and 2007. In 2007, he joined Rovers on a permanent deal where he remained the club's favoured keeper until the 2012–13 season when he was loaned to AFC Wimbledon, the side formed after the relocation of his first club. Sullivan returned to Doncaster towards the end of the year and aided Doncaster to the League One title. In July 2013, he announced he was leaving Doncaster. After rejecting offers to prolong his playing career, he started working as a goalkeeping coach.

Between 1997 and 2003, Sullivan was capped 28 times by Scotland. He was selected for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, where he was the second choice goalkeeper behind Jim Leighton.

Wimbledon
Sullivan was born in Sutton, Greater London. He began his career with local club Wimbledon in 1988, amassing a total of 224 appearances between 1988 and 2000. It was during his tenure at Wimbledon that Sullivan was often acknowledged as one of the best goalkeepers in the league marked by his selection for the division's 1997–98 team of the season.

He was initially an understudy for Hans Segers, and then spent the 1995–96 season vying with Paul Heald for the job as Wimbledon's regular goalkeeper, before making the position his own for the 1996–97 season.

Sullivan conceded a famous goal by David Beckham scored from the halfway line, while he was off his line, in August 1996. He also played one game on loan for Crystal Palace in 1992.

Tottenham Hotspur
In 2000, after Wimbledon's relegation, Sullivan moved from Wimbledon to Tottenham Hotspur, where he made over 80 appearances. He helped Tottenham reach the 2002 Football League Cup Final which they lost to Blackburn Rovers.

Chelsea
Chelsea began the 2003–04 season with three senior goalkeepers; Carlo Cudicini, Marco Ambrosio and Jurgen Macho. However Macho picked up a serious knee injury and Chelsea moved to replace him with Sullivan. Sullivan was to compete with Ambrosio for providing back up to Cudicini. He made his debut in a League Cup tie against Reading on 3 December 2003. His league debut followed against Portsmouth on 28 December 2003. In all Sullivan made eight appearances for Chelsea, four of which came in the league.

Leeds United
In June 2004, he was signed by Leeds United, by manager Kevin Blackwell to replace Paul Robinson who had left Leeds to join Tottenham. Sullivan beat off competition for number one spot from young goalkeeper Scott Carson. Leeds were debt-ridden and had just been relegated from the Premier League when Sullivan joined them.

In his first season (2004–05), he was voted as the club's Player of the Year after some superb saves throughout the season, including saving several penalties for Leeds in games against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Cardiff City, Burnley and Nottingham Forest. Leeds finished 10 points off the playoffs after a season of rebuilding. In his second season at Leeds he continued his penalty saving prowess, saving one in a 1–0 win away at Stoke City, and Leeds went on to reach the playoff final against Watford with Sullivan again having a decent season. But the playoff final ended in defeat for Leeds, losing 3–0 and Sullivan scoring an own goal.

Due to an injury picked up in the pre-season match against Nottingham Forest, Sullivan made few appearances in the 2006–07 campaign for Leeds, with loan goalkeeper Tony Warner filling in whilst Sullivan was injured. Kevin Blackwell was sacked and replaced by Dennis Wise. Wise decided to sign Graham Stack on loan to compete with Warner and Sullivan. On 23 November 2006, he moved on loan to Doncaster Rovers. His loan was however cut short and he returned to Leeds on 21 December 2006. Manager Dennis Wise told the press after Leeds' 2–1 victory against Coventry City that Sullivan had put on weight, and his performances were not as good, hence his loan to Doncaster. Leeds signed Casper Ankergren as the new number one goalkeeper. Sullivan re-signed on loan for Doncaster Rovers in February 2007. After the end of his loan at Doncaster, Sullivan returned to Leeds but was released at the end of his contract.

Doncaster Rovers
On 15 May 2007, Sullivan returned to Doncaster. He became the regular first team keeper and his consistent performances throughout the 2007–08 season helped Doncaster to promotion. He made an error in the 2–1 loss to Yeovil Town on 21 March 2008, mis-controlling a backpass which led to a Yeovil goal, but the disappointment of this mistake was over-shadowed by a very successful season between the sticks, in which Sullivan kept an impressive 20 clean sheets. He overcame this to help Doncaster win promotion to the Championship with a playoff final win over former club Leeds United, leaving them in the third tier of the Football League for at least another year.

Sullivan was also credited with a man-of-the-match performance against Aston Villa on 24 January 2009 which gave Doncaster a 0–0 draw that helped keep them in the FA Cup.

The veteran goalkeeper continued to be an ever-present in the Rovers side throughout the 2009–10 season, appearing in all 46 league games for the club. In 2010, Sullivan signed a one-year-contract extension for Rovers, meaning he would be at the club until the end of the 2010–11 campaign. However, he had an injury-hit season, and was eventually replaced by Gary Woods as no.1. At the end of the season, he signed another one-year extension.

On 16 November 2012, Sullivan joined AFC Wimbledon on a short-term loan from Doncaster Rovers and made his debut the following day against Aldershot. On 2 December 2012 Sullivan started in the FA Cup 2nd round match against MK Dons, which they lost 2–1.

With first choice keeper Gary Woods injured, Doncaster recalled him for their game at AFC Bournemouth on 9 March 2013. Following his return to the Rovers' team from his loan spell in March 2013, Sullivan went on to play till the end of the season as Doncaster won the League One title and sealed automatic promotion to the Championship. It was later announced that he would be retained by the club for the following season. On 11 July 2013, Doncaster Rovers confirmed that Sullivan had left the club.

International career
Sullivan was capped 28 times by Scotland between 1997 and 2003. He was named in the Scottish squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, but was an unused substitute in all of Scotland's three matches. Sullivan became the first choice Scotland goalkeeper after Jim Leighton retired from international football later in 1998, and he played regularly during the Euro 2000 and 2002 World Cup qualification groups.

Coaching career
After gaining promotion to the Championship with Doncaster Rovers, Sullivan turned down the offer of extending his playing career at the club as well as an Ambassadorial role in favour of returning to former club Leeds United as Academy Goalkeeper Coach on 16 July. With an injury to Leeds substitute goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown, Sullivan revealed he had not officially retired from playing and would be willing to register himself as a player for the 2013/14 season. In the summer of 2014, Sullivan became the First Team Goalkeeping Coach for the 2014–15 season, under Head Coaches Dave Hockaday, Darko Milanic and Neil Redfearn.

For the start of the 2015–16 season under new Leeds Head Coach Uwe Rösler, Sullivan was to revert to his original role as the Leeds United Academy Goalkeeper Coach. After the appointment of Goalkeeper Coach Richard Hartis on 9 June 2015, Leeds confirmed Sullivan had returned to his role as Academy Goalkeeper Coach. In 2020, shortly after Leeds United were promoted back to the Premier League, Sullivan was relieved of his duties.

Since leaving Leeds for the second time, Sullivan has taken a coaching role with the Hull City under-18s.

Liaoshen campaign

The Liaoshen campaign, an abbreviation of Liaoning–Shenyang campaign after the province of Liaoning and its Yuan directly administered capital city Shenyang, was the first of the three major military campaigns (along with Huaihai campaign and Pingjin campaign) launched by the Communist People's Liberation Army (PLA) against the Kuomintang Nationalist government during the late stage of the Chinese Civil War. This engagement is also known to the Kuomintang as the Liaohsi campaign, and took place between September and November 1948, lasting a total of 52 days. The campaign ended after the Nationalist forces suffered sweeping defeats across Manchuria, losing the major cities of Jinzhou, Changchun, and eventually Shenyang in the process, leading to the capture of the whole of Manchuria by the Communist forces. The victory of the campaign resulted in the Communists achieving a strategic numerical advantage over the Nationalists for the first time in its history.

Race for Manchuria
Manchuria, alternatively known as the Northeast China in contemporary accounts, was the most industrialized region in China. In the immediate aftermath of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Manchuria was placed under Soviet occupation. Both the Nationalists and the Communists began their expansion in the region after the Soviet withdrawal in March 1946. After the Communist Winter Offensive of 1947 in Northeast China, the PLA had expanded considerably in the Northeast, surpassing the Nationalists in total operational strength in Northeast China for the first time since the beginning of the civil war. In response to the deteriorating situation for the Nationalists, Chiang Kai-shek decided to replace Chen Cheng with Wei Lihuang as the commander of the Nationalist forces in the Northeast.

Prelude
In January 1948, the Communist forces in the Northeast were renamed as the Northeast Field Army with Lin Biao as the commander. The Nationalist forces were indecisive in responding to Communist expansion, as Wei Lihuang directly clashed with Chiang over Nationalist strategies in the Northeast. Wei believed that it was better to "preserve the status quo" and concentrate on defending Shenyang and Changchun, while Chiang insists Wei to withdraw from these two cities and concentrate Nationalist forces in the Jinzhou-Huludao area to prevent the PLA from entering the North China Plain through the Shanhai Pass.

By spring 1948, the Communist forces were in control of the countryside across Northeast China, isolating the Nationalist forces in Shenyang, Changchun and Jinzhou from each other. In addition, the PLA had seized control of the Jingha Railway, cutting off the Nationalist land route supply lines to Shenyang and Changchun. Consequently, supplies for the Nationalist forces in the Northeast had to be airlifted, which were largely ineffective and unsustainable.

Jinzhou
Jinzhou was a "key point" in the Liaoxi Corridor, the principal land passage from Manchuria to North China Plain. On 12 September 1948, the Northeast Field Army headed south and launched a series of attacks along the Beining Railway. Between 12 September to 28 September, the Communist forces maneuvered to cut off Nationalist supply line from Qinhuangdao to Jinzhou. By 28 September, they had captured Suizhong, Changli, Tashan and Yixian, controlling the area between Jinzhou and Qinhuangdao, effectively isolating Jinzhou.

Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Beiping on 30 September and held a military conference with Fu Zuoyi. The Nationalists assembled the 39th, 62nd and 92nd Army led by Hou Jingru to reinforce Jinzhou as part of the "East-Advancing Army Corps", with the objective to fortify Nationalist positions in Huludao. On 2 October, Chiang flew to Shenyang to discuss the formation of the "West-Advancing Army Corps" with Wei Lihuang, and ordered Liao Yaoxiang to reinforce Jinzhou with the 9th Army from the west to break the encirclement attempt of Jinzhou by the CCP. With the new developments in Nationalist strategies, Lin Biao was initially hesitant to continue with Communist offensive against Jinzhou, but he was convinced to carry on with the assault by Mao Zedong.

By 8 October, the Northeast Field Army have amassed 250,000 troops and completed the encirclement of Jinzhou. Between 10 and 15 October, the Nationalist reinforcements for Jinzhou from both the west and the east were closing in on the Communists, but they were decisively stopped in Tashan. The final assault on Jinzhou began on 14 October. The city was captured in the next evening, along with the Nationalist commander Fan Hanjie and 80,000 Nationalist troops.

Changchun
Changchun had been encircled for more than five months prior to the campaign. Already weakened by starvation since February 1948, civilians were fleeing Changchun in large numbers on daily basis by June 1948. Many refugees were unable to pass through the Communist blockade, and unable to return as the Nationalist defenders blocks refugees from returning to the city. The Nationalist garrison were unable to break out of the city despite the order from Chiang. Following the fall of Jinzhou, the Nationalist 60th Army stationed in the east side of the city defected to the Communist side on 17 October. Following their defection, the Nationalist New 7th Army agreed to the terms of surrender on 19 October. The remaining Nationalist forces in Changchun surrendered the city to the PLA on 23 October, and Nationalist commander Zheng Dongguo became a prisoner of war.

Heishan
After the Nationalist forces suffered heavy losses in Jinzhou and Changchun, Chiang Kai-shek intended to stage a counteroffensive and quickly recapture Jinzhou. He ordered Liao Yaoxiang and the Ninth Army Group which had been advancing from Shenyang to continue marching west and attack Jinzhou. However, Liao and other senior Nationalist officers contested this decision. On 16 October, the Nationalist high command reached a consensus and decided to attack Heishan and Dahushan instead, covering their withdrawal to Yingkou in the process. The decision was approved by Chiang, and on 21 October the Ninth Army Group launched an attack on Heishan.

The Communist forces successfully defended Heishan and Dahushan, and the Nationalist forces were unable to make any progress. The Ninth Army Group was subsequently encircled by the main forces of the PLA and decisively defeated. Over 25,000 Nationalist soldiers had been killed in action, and Liao Yaoxiang was captured by the PLA.

Fall of Shenyang (29 October – 2 November)
After the Ninth Army Group was destroyed, the Northeast Field Army began to encircle Shenyang on 29 October. As the city fell into disarray, the Nationalist's Eighth Army Group collapsed as the commander Wei Lihuang fled from Shenyang by plane on 30 October. The Communist forces launched the final assault on Shenyang the next morning on 1 November against the Nationalist garrison of 140,000 men, which quickly surrendered soon after. On 2 November, Yingkou was also captured by the Communist forces, with the Nationalist 52nd Army narrowly retreating by ship. The remainder of the Nationalist forces, mostly from the West Army, managed to preserve some of their strength as they withdrew from Huludao to Tianjin. With the Northeast being completely clear of the Nationalist forces, the Liaoshen campaign effectively came to its conclusion.

Aftermath
According to Lew, the Liaoshen campaign was both a major "strategic and tactical defeat" for Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist government, as the initial objective of containing the Communists in the Northeast failed after the fall of Jinzhou. Between 1945 and 1948, Chiang committed some of his best troops from the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the Northeast against the CCP, and many of these troops were lost in the subsequent campaigns. The role of Mao Zedong in pushing Lin Biao to fully commit in the final attack of Jinzhou elevated the reputation of Mao in the CCP. With the CCP fully in control of the Northeast, Nationalist garrisons in Beiping and Tianjin led by Fu Zuoyi were now exposed to Communist attacks.

Apartment 3-G

Apartment 3-G is an American newspaper soap opera comic strip about a trio of career women who share an apartment in Manhattan. Created by Nicholas P. Dallis with art by Alex Kotzky, the strip began May 8, 1961, initially distributed by the Publishers Syndicate, which later merged with King Features Syndicate in 1988.

The strip went through several changes of writers and artists over its 54-year run, finally ending on November 22, 2015.

Characters and story
The strip's situations and characters were influenced by the soap opera strip Mary Worth as well as Rona Jaffe's bestselling 1958 novel The Best of Everything.

The three main characters are Margo Magee, a brunette who has variously held positions as a secretary, actors' agent, publicist and event planner; Abigail "Tommie" Thompson, a redheaded nurse; and Lu Ann Powers née Wright, a blonde art teacher. The appearances of the three main characters were loosely based on real actresses: Tommie was based on Lucille Ball, Margo on Joan Collins and Lu Ann on Tuesday Weld.

Kindly neighbor Professor Aristotle Papagoras serves as a father figure.

Lu Ann, originally single, met and married a U.S. Air Force pilot named Garth Powers (renamed Gary in a 2011 story arc) in 1964, after which she moved out of the apartment. She was replaced by another blonde, Beth Howard. Lu Ann's husband was later killed in Vietnam and she eventually moved back into the apartment, while Beth was written out after falling in love with young physician Lester Pride.

There have been a number of other notable supporting characters in the comic strip throughout the years. Byron Frost was Margo's generally supportive boss from 1962 to 1990. Newton Figg (1966, 1971, 1977, 1980, 1986), the handsome but childlike author of children's books, talked to his pet stuffed animals as though they were real. Not surprisingly, he had some romantic challenges. Roberta Magee, Margo's temperamental mother, caused recurring troubles.

When Lisa Trusiani took over scripting the strip, stories began to revolve more around family relations. Gabriella Gatica turns up in 1999 as Margo's biological mother, a maid that Margo's father had had an affair with. Blaze Wright, Lu Ann's employment-challenged cousin and an aspiring actor, first appeared in 1998 and appeared off and on through 2011. Ruby Wright followed in 2007 and turned out to be Lu Ann's biological mother. Eric Mills, owner of the Mills Gallery, nurtures Lu Ann's interest in painting; he also became a reoccurring romantic interest for Margo in 2006-2008 (when he is presumed dead in an avalanche) and in 2014-15 (when he turns up alive after all).

Alex Kotzky, who drew and inked in a tight and crisp realistic style, was the artist of Apartment 3-G for more than 30 years. When Dallis died in 1991, Kotzky began writing the strip. With Kotzky's death in 1996, his son, Brian Kotzky, took over as the Apartment 3-G artist, and Lisa Trusiani became the scripter. In 1999, Frank Bolle stepped in as the illustrator when Brian Kotzky left to become a teacher. Writer Margaret Shulock later succeeded Trusiani.

Dallis, formerly a psychiatrist, also created the soap opera comic strips Rex Morgan, M.D. and Judge Parker.

Awards
Alex Kotzky received the 1968 National Cartoonists Society's Story Comic Strip Award for his work on Apartment 3-G.

Elliot Caplin

Elliot Caplin (December 25, 1913 – February 20, 2000) was an American comic strip writer best known as the co-creator (with Stan Drake) of The Heart of Juliet Jones. His name is sometimes spelled with one extra letter: Elliott A. Caplin. He was the younger brother of Al Capp, creator of Li'l Abner.

Biography
Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Caplin graduated from Ohio State University in 1936. Beginning in 1937, he was employed as a writer for King Features Syndicate. He entered the comic book field as editor of True Comics for the Parents Magazine Institute. By 1940, he was an editorial director with the magazine Parents, leaving during World War II to serve with the Navy in the South Pacific. In the post-World War II years, he returned to Parents, continuing as an editor there until 1948.

Caplin co-created the strips Dr. Bobbs, Peter Scratch, and Big Ben Bolt, and served as writer for strips by others, including Abbie an' Slats, Long Sam, and Little Orphan Annie. He adapted author Donald J. Sobol's Encyclopedia Brown series into a comic strip.

Caplin conceived of the original idea for the comic strip Broom-Hilda. He described the main character to cartoonist Russell Myers, who responded with a sketch of the witch and several samples. Caplin, acting as Myers' business manager, submitted these to the Chicago Tribune Syndicate. Introduced on April 19, 1970, it became an immediate success, and was reprinted in several collections during the 1970s and 1980s.

Caplin also founded the comic book publisher Toby Press, which operated from 1949 to 1955.

Theater
In the early 1970s, Caplin wrote Meegan's Game, a play about arrested adolescence. Directed by Paul E. Davis, it had a 1974 workshop production for several weekends at the Cricket Theatre on Second Avenue in an effort to interest potential backers. The play was eventually produced in 1982. Among his many other plays are A Nickel for Picasso, a fictionalized account of his brother losing his leg. He also wrote a book about his brother, Al Capp Remembered.

Personal life and death
Caplin lived in Larchmont, New York, with his wife Ruth and their three children, Donald, Joan and Toby. He died in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, in 2000.

Nicholas P. Dallis

Nicholas Peter Dallis (December 15, 1911 – July 6, 1991), was an American psychiatrist turned comic strip writer, creator of the soap opera-style strips Rex Morgan, M.D., Judge Parker and Apartment 3-G. Separating his comics career from his medical practice, he wrote under pseudonyms, Dal Curtis for Rex Morgan, M.D. and Paul Nichols for Judge Parker.

Biography
Born in New York City, Nick Dallis grew up on Long Island. He graduated from Washington & Jefferson College in 1933 and from Temple University's medical school in 1938 and married a nurse, Sarah Luddy. He decided to specialize in psychiatry, and after World War II, started a practice in Toledo, Ohio. Allen Saunders was chair at the time of the local mental hygiene center that invited him there, and in his autobiography, he recalled that Dallis approached him, as a well-known comics writer (Steve Roper and Mike Nomad, Mary Worth), about "his desire to write a comic strip, one tracing the history of medicine. I told him that, commendable as his idea was, such a feature would not succeed. Readers want entertainment, not enlightenment. But a story about a handsome young doctor's involvement with his patients might be a winner."

Comic strips
After further conversations with Saunders on strip writing, Dallis successfully launched his Rex Morgan, M.D in 1948. Later, he found himself working more with troubled youth in juvenile court, and from his experiences there, he conceived a second strip focused on the legal world, Judge Parker, which took off in 1952 and also became successful. Both strips were in the soap opera tradition pioneered by Saunders, as continuities in which each story was basically distinct. And yet they differed from Mary Worth in centering on male protagonists who counseled their clients with professional advice as well as intervening to help them with personal problems. In addition, Dallis did manage to work in education and enlightenment for his readers, as well as entertainment. In 1958, he retired from medicine and moved to Arizona, where he continued to author his comics. In 1961, he launched his third strip, Apartment 3-G, about three young women sharing a Manhattan apartment.

Dallis died in 1991, but all three of his strips survived over the years (with Apartment 3-G ending in 2015), and as of 2023 Judge Parker and Rex Morgan, M.D. continue in syndication. He was later remembered by his successor on two of his strips, Woody Wilson, as "a prince among men... educated, kindly, compassionate, talented and generous." Wilson honored Dallis in a striking manner in the episodes of November 30 and December 1, 2015, by giving Rex and June's baby boy the second name "Dallis"; when asked by his daughter why he and June had chosen this name, Rex replied, "Nick Dallis was a very good friend of ours, Princess. We wanted to honor him!" Judge Parker and Rex Morgan, M.D. continue to honor Nick Dallis by sometimes letting their characters eat at a "Nick's Diner."

John Loftus (military author)

John Joseph Loftus (born February 12, 1950), is an American author, former high level U.S. government prosecutor and former Army intelligence officer. He is the president of The Intelligence Summit and of the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg.

Loftus is an author of numerous books on a purported CIA-Nazi connection including The Belarus Secret and The Secret War Against the Jews, both of which contain material claiming a Bush-Rockefeller-Nazi connection.

He currently writes a weekly column called "spyview" for the Haredi Jewish magazine Ami.

Early career
Son of a firefighter, Loftus was born in Boston, Massachusetts and is a graduate of Boston College (BA, 1971) and Suffolk University (JD, 1977). He served in the U.S. Army from 1971 to 1974, attaining the rank of First Lieutenant. He began working for the US Department of Justice in 1977 and in 1979 joined their Office of Special Investigations, which was charged with prosecuting and deporting Nazi war criminals in the US. Loftus' now-expired website claimed, "As a young U.S. Army officer, John Loftus helped train Israelis on a covert operation that turned the tide of battle in the 1973 Yom Kippur War."

Author
Loftus is the author and co-author of several books on Nazis, espionage, and similar topics including The Belarus Secret (1982), Unholy Trinity: How the Vatican's Nazi Networks Betrayed Western Intelligence to the Soviets (1992), The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People (1994), Unholy Trinity: The Vatican, the Nazis, and the Swiss Banks (1998), America's Nazi Secret: An Insider's History of How the United States Department of Justice Obstructed Congress by: Blocking Congressional Investigations into Famous American Families Who Funded Hitler, Stalin and Arab Terrorists (2010). Although Loftus' first book, The Belarus Secret, is nonfiction, it was adapted into a TV movie, Kojak: The Belarus File (1985), with Telly Savalas.

Reception of The Belarus Secret
The Office of Special Investigations historian David Marwell described Loftus' book The Belarus Secret as "the worst kind of amateur history." Vital Zayka, a fellow of the Center for Jewish History in New York City, accused Loftus of falsification. The Israeli historian and Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff described the book as controversial and referred to Charles R. Allen Jr.'s review in Jewish Currents, in which Allen joined the active criticism of Loftus and named him a fraud and a liar.

What Loftus had described as the Belarus secret is that many of the Belarus Brigade's leaders, a unit incorporated into a German SS division, were assisted into the United States after World War II – thanks largely to the efforts of Frank Wisner. In defiance of federal law, Loftus asserted, the Office of Policy Coordination helped obtain visas for Nazi collaborators from Belarus — who were believed to have facilitated numerous atrocities by the Nazi Germany. According to Loftus, it was all part of a Cold War scheme to wage guerrilla warfare in Soviet-occupied Europe, in which the Nazi collaborators were to play a key role. When the project collapsed, however, the Belarusians quickly settled in and obtained US citizenship – and intelligence agencies protected them from exposure for decades.

The New York Times wrote: "there is a question as to whether the author in his zealousness may not have overstated some of his material. He says 300 Byelorussian Nazis and an 'even larger number of Ukrainian Nazis' were smuggled in. But he fails to draw a distinction between documented war criminals and hangers-on and perhaps other less culpable collaborators. ... Still, The Belarus Secret is certain to be a valuable source book when Congress reopens hearings ... into allegations of a war criminal cover-up."

Radio talk show host
Loftus previously had a radio show on Talkline Communications Network broadcast live every Monday and Tuesday from 11 pm to midnight EST in New York City, northern New Jersey, southern Connecticut, and Miami and Pompano Beach, Florida. His co-host was John Batchelor.

Social critic
Loftus serves as a media commentator, appearing regularly on ABC National Radio and Fox News. He also writes weekly for Ami, an Orthodox Jewish weekly newsmagazine.

On August 7, 2005, he provided the United States address of an alleged terrorist named Iyad K. Hilal on Fox News. Only afterwards was it revealed that Hilal had left the address three years previously and the home was now owned by a family, who was then subjected to threats and vandalism and required police protection as a result of Loftus' words. Fox terminated Loftus's contract to commentate after the event. Loftus said "I thought it might help police in that area now that we have positively identified a terrorist," but he did not say why he did not contact police in a more direct manner. Loftus apologized for the mistake and expressed frustration about "one federal [agency's]" inaction on an earlier tip he had given them years ago due to the same address.

Axedale

Axedale is a town in Victoria, Australia. It is located on the McIvor Highway, in the City of Greater Bendigo, east of Bendigo. It was surveyed and proclaimed in 1861. At the 2021 census, Axedale had a population of 984.

The town is nestled alongside the Campaspe River which feeds out of Lake Eppalock. It has a golf course, tennis courts, a school, a pub and a convenience store/petrol station. It lies between Heathcote and Bendigo.

The Post Office opened on 21 April 1862. The town was served by the Axedale railway station on the Heathcote railway line from 1888 until 1941.

On Christmas Day 1929, the town was hit by a tornado that grew to a maximum width of 3 km (1.86 miles) wide. At the time one of the widest tornadoes in the world, no injuries or deaths were reported and the storm officially remains unrated by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.

The town was the end point of the O'Keefe Rail Trail from Bendigo along the former railway reservation. In 2015, work was completed on extending the rail trail from Axedale to Heathcote. As part of the Campaspe River crossing, an underpass for the Rail Trail was also built under the McIvor Highway.

Golfers play at the Axedale Golf Club on Mitchell Street.

The Axedale Tavern
The Axedale Tavern was first established in 1855 By Feliks Drake along with three others from Ireland. After two years, Feliks Drake bought out the others and named the Tavern, Drakes Hotel and this was the name for almost a century until the business was renamed to The Axedale Tavern.

St Andrew's Uniting Church of Axedale
Axedale St Andrew's Uniting Church is located in the main street of Axedale. This church began construction on the 30th of September 1868 when foundation stone was laid and later opened in 1869. This church is still open and is used twice a month by a congregation of local families and is ministered by Rev Di Esbensen who also ministers St Andrew's Bendigo and St Andrews's Forest Street. She alternates between leading worship. St Andrew's Axedale is led by her in the first and third weeks of the month.

St Mary's Church of Axedale
St Mary's Church was originally blessed and opened on a Sunday the 9th of February 1862 and mass was held monthly up until the building became unsafe and demolished. In May 1900, the church committee held a meeting and decided to build a new church mostly from the bluestone bricks that previously built up the original church. Construction began on the 9th of December 1901 and the foundation stone was laid by Cishop Reville O.S.A of Sandhurst. The new Roman Catholic Church at Axedale is located at 15 Raglan Place in the centre of the township on a hill.

Axedale Catholic Cemetery
RPCV took over responsibility for the management and operations side of the privately owned Axedale Catholic Cemetery in 2016, which is residing next to the public Axedale Remembrance Park on Cemetery Road, Axedale. The distinguishing look to this cemetery from their neighbour Axedale Remembrance Park is that there are old stone fences featured and all around the site in this cemetery.

Camp Getaway Axedale
The Rotary Club of Bendigo made an initiative to create Camp Getaway Axedale as they had seen it as a necessity for a youth camp around the Bendigo Region. In 1948, the camp was opened to begin with the idea to give underprivileged children recreational facilities after the second World War. The first ever guests were however a group of young farmers. An outdoor chapel was added to the area with the help of the Y's Men's Club in 1959. In 1961, at a cost of $2,000, a recreational hall was built in. More than 1,600 youth were enrolled and going to the camp each year by 1963. A new dining hall for the attendees to dine in was incorporated between 1968 and 1969 at an overall cost of $8,700 with a Government Grant of $4,300. A weekend to attend this camp at the time was 25 cents per person. Phone, power and a septic system were made accessible to the camp in around the year 1971. Thirty years later, the camp had gone through many upgrades in credit to the Rotarians and volunteers from the District 9800 which goes all the way from metropolitan Melbourne to the Murray at Echuca. Modern dormitory design accommodation is now incorporated in Camp Getaway Axedale such as a number of two bedroom units along with a lounge, dining room, kitchen and games room.

Axedale Golf Club
In the 1890s, Golf in Axedale was recorded. The eight founding members established the Axedale Golf Club and first played it on the site of the present course with nine sandscrape holes in 1937. From 1937 to 1956, despite setbacks as the fledgling club contending with the river flooding the course all the time, the Axedale Golf Club had competitions each winter weekend throughout the years. In 1973, the club was upgraded as well as in 1996, it was transformed to 18 holes with grass greens. Present day, the Axedale Golf Club has a membership of more than 450 people.

 * While I agree that we should use the PD alternative, Google still doesn't get to ban fair use. — ceejayoz ★ 16:10, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a commercial website. We can use "non-commercial use" licenced images. Such images are discouraged however, if they are not absolutely essential for the article, or if there is a PD/GFDL substitute -- both conditions apply in this case blah blah blah. As for whether the image is even copyrighteable by Google, that's quite another question. Obviously they own the copyright for the high-resolution keyhole data. But the low-resolution and elevation data is in the PD, they took it from NASA. It could be argued that images rendered by Google Earth from low-resolution Nasa data is not copyrighteable in the first place. 83.77.221.225 09:59, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Jimbo banned non-comercial images here. While we do not have ads on our website, various Wikipedia mirrors have ads plasted on the top and sides on the website, so we have, by default, became a commercial website. Zach (Sound Off) 04:35, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I uploaded this image, and one day later, I was notified of its deletion. I apologize for breaking the rules of copyright, which was quite accidental, and also for listing it under GFDL, which was a mistake on my part because of my lack of experience on Wikipedia. I hope that if images from Google Earth cannot be used, that there will be a suitable subsitute. --Luckybeargod 20:53, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Just to clairfy, we are not commercial. While some copies are, it is not our responsiblity to ensure that they abide by copyright law.  However it is a policy aim that we comply with at least GFDL as much as possible, in order to make our content as free (as in speach) as possible.  NASA have a similar product to Google which is based on US Govt infor (their own) and hence we can use. Rich Farmbrough 13:09, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Casualties Breakdown by city
I removed the table (left) because I don't think it adds anything to the article at the present time and it seems to be inaccurate. In particular the table notes 3000 dead in Islamabad but the cited source says "The only serious damage reported in Pakistan's capital was the collapse of a 10-story apartment building, where at least 10 people were killed and 126 were injured." -- Andreww 04:52, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Cavemen like the Al-Kaida
Any info, what happened to Sheik UBL, Mullah Omar and Dr. Zawahiri? Is it the same area they are thought to be hiding in?

 * No they are thought to be on the other side of the country.Geni 13:26, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * No, they are thought to be not in the country. Waqas.usman 07:14, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Geni is correct, they were thought to be on the opposite side near the federally adminsterated territories, a region only under nominal Pakistani control, though earlier there were reports that they were in Mashera (NWFP) for a short time. Gtadoc 05:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Casualties
In the table these shoudl only be confirmed figures, as per our practice on other disaster pages. Rich Farmbrough 16:25, 9 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. is there any good reason to have it as a template? Rich Farmbrough

Also- on the deadliest earthquake list, it's 17th, not 18th as it says in the information. Iran is 18th. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.6.14.175 (talk) 14:53, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

helpful artcile
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4322624.stm Its shows the whole area of destruction.

Odd math
template:2005 Kashmir earthquake casualties

The template has funny math for total of injured. It has 42.4k + 0.8k + thousands = tens of thousands. One of the most meaningless mathematical expressions I've ever seen. I think it would be better if we could say more than 43k in total of injured or something like that. I'm changing it =p __earth 06:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Earth changes
Somethings unusual is happening with Earth - or arguably it isn´t. In 2005 several important natural disasters have drawn a line that is statistically higher than normal years. Is this a coincidence? I suppose an Encyclopedia should provide information about this, showing what is known, what is speculated and controversies. I suggest we create the Earth changes article. Contribute! Subramanian talk 10:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Not a good idea as that would have to involve origianal research. Andreww 10:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I beg to differ. I restate my suggestion: "showing what is known, what is speculated and controversies." It´s just a useful compiling of published material on a highly debated topic. Subramanian talk 11:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The only thing I have heard of with regards to global warming and earthquakes is that it is thought that if glaciers melt rapidly, the loss of the weight of the glaciers can lead to an increase in earthquake activity if the area is already seismically active. I don't think this would apply to the big earthquakes though, and so not to this one. The Earth changes article is not needed (I think it should be deleted), as this can all be worked into the articles on climate change and global warming. The statistical argument looks like original research to me. I've always thought that increases in severity of natural disasters is mostly due to human populations expanding and living in the wrong areas. 194.200.237.219 12:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Deaths
the news on www.cnn.com today are

Quake toll soars above 30,000 The death toll has soared to 30,800 ...

in article is just 20,000 and frontpage just 19,000

Where has the 43,000 figure come from? More conservative estimates are at 25,000 []Kamayoq 23:11, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Distinction between aid pledged and given
I feel we should be very clear about the aid that has been pledged for relief work in Pakistan and other affected areas and the aid that has actually been released or given. For example, the article previously stated that the US had made 50,000,000 dollars available for relief work... which is not true. According to the New York Times, that is an initial amount pledged by George Bush and not yet delivered. Hulleye 11:30, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Absolutely true. And what is promised and what is actually given should be clarified for every country. Knowing Bush, he won't deliver. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 23:51, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, to date Bush has delivered almost all of what he promised. Whether the Pakistan government uses it for the intended purpose is an entirely different matter. Gtadoc 05:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

How do you edit the death toll box...it won't work

 * To anonymous. I've fixed the edit link.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 14:40, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

International Response
Should Islamic Relief be added to the list? The organisation is currently active raising money, particularly from the Muslim communities, in the UK, US and elsewhere. They are also one of the organisations with people on the ground in Kashmir. See BBC News.

Singaporean response
Should there be a Singaporean response to 2005 Kashmir earthquake? Currently, it's the only page dedicated to a country's response to the crisis. I believe it's sufficient to have just International response to 2005 Kashmir earthquake. The page is nominated for deletion. Reason - redundancy. Any thought is appreciated. __earth 06:24, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * There is only a small amount of duplication in the content of the two articles because the levels of details are different. For info, there are large Pakistani, South Asian and Muslim communities in Singapore, they and others have strong concerns about the victims and very much wish to contribute to the humanitarian relief effort. --Vsion 06:46, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Change the Map
The current map shown is not right for this article since it shows the whole of India, doesn't even shows Pakistan completely and the Kashmiri area affected is not much viewable. Please use a map which focuses more on the areas where the destruction has occured most including Pakistan administered Kashmir, Indian administered Kashmir and NWFP and Punjab provinces of Pakistan.

See if any of these maps work; they covers all major affected areas:

All maps are from BBC.

Richter scale
I suppose this earthquake was 7.6 on Moment magnitude scale (Mw), not Richter scale. --Tbonefin 04:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yuk! The Richter Scale was so much easier, The "Moment whatever" seems to be full of complicated mathematical jargon. With the Richter Scale, it is easy to class the earthquake as "Great", "Strong" etc. The new classification just provides a number and a bunch of formulae. It also means that we have to create a whole new set of numbers maybe. For example, the Great Kanto earthquake was approx 8.1 on the Richter Scale. What would this be recalculated to? 7.1? 8.6? Would it be renamed just the Kanto Earthquake, as "Great" is a Ricter term? Wallie 07:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yuk! "Great" and "Strong" earthquakes. What an arbitrary way to divide up earthquakes. Why not have a nice, simple Moment magnitude... 194.200.237.219 17:13, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Is there a way to convert from Mw to ML? If so, maybe we could put in brackets "(xx on the Richter scale)" -Tcwd (talk) 20:32, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I doubt there is an easy way to convert. I would guess that multiplying by 1 would be safe in many cases, though. Why o why do scientists have to replace a simple system that nearly everyone understands with a complicated one that you can understand only if you have an IQ of over 120, which leaves most of us out. Anyway has everyone gone over to this "Mw" scale and away from Ricter? Or is it just the Americans? Wallie 06:25, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You are calling the Richter scale simple? To understand the Richter scale you have to understand what a logarithmic scale is, and that is something many people fail to understand about the Richter scale. You also have to appreciate that the energies involved are not simple multiples of ten, but depend on the "square root of the cube of the amplitude". To quote from the Richter scale page: "a magnitude 9 has 10,000 times the amplitude of a magnitude 5, but a million times more energy". That is not simple. The Richter scale is not simple. 194.200.237.219 12:14, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Sounds very straight forward to me. You explained the Richter Scale very well. Now if you can do the same for the "Moment Magnitude scale", which I for one have no understanding whatsoever, without about 60 pages of complex mathematical gibberish, you will be doing well! Wallie 18:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Schools on Saturday
I'm surprise that so many students were trapped in schools. Are school classes on Saturday morning common in the region? --Vsion 04:41, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * In many areas in Pakistan (especially in NWFP) Friday is an unofficial off-day. Also, not all schools have two weekly offs.
 * PS: In Pakistan, the word "school" is generally used to refer to children's school (primary, middle, high school). Undergrad level school is usually refered to as University. All these references to "students" were to young school children.
 * 9-10 Grade: High School
 * 11-12 Grade: College
 * Bachelor/Undergrad: University Waqas.usman 06:19, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the helpful information on the local context. What about workers? Do most people work on Saturday? I am wondering because there are also many victims trapped at home. --Vsion 06:50, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You're welcome. The local time of the first shock was 8:50am, I'm not sure about the start of working hours of NWFP and Azad Kashmir these days, but because of Ramazan (month of fasting for Muslims), most people take a couple of hours' nap after morning meal, and many people might have been sleeping. And there was no time to escape, it was 7.6 and the epi-center was only 10km (6.2 miles) deep (which is considered very shallow in earthquakes). From some of the helicopter footage (of remote villages I guess) it seems that even those who were outside would have been kind of sucked into the earth. Cities like Muzaffarabad and Mansehra had buildings made of concrete or cement, and most parts of these cities have been destroyed, you can just imagine the villages where houses and other buildings were made of mud. Access to most areas was blocked due ot damaged roads, many people have now spent three nights without shelter and food. Some roads are now open but many areas might still be inaccessible. Waqas.usman 07:41, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

"Iran" removed from the list of the countries under "International Response"??
I added "Iran has dispatched foodstuff, blankets, tents and medicines through two aircrafts." alongwith reference yesterday, and for no apparent reason it wasn't there today. I've again added it again, also I've alphabetized the list of countries under Asia.

Canadian Pledge
Is it just me or does the wording seem to put a lot of importance on the first donation of CAD 100,000 and really downplay the much larger sum of CAD 20 million, listed last? Just a thought.Freshgavin 07:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It's the opposite with US Aid, the "announced" US aid of $50 million has been mentioned first, and the actual amount of $500,000 given yet by "US Agency for Int'l Development" has been mentioned in the end.

 * Read "Distinction between aid pledged and given above: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2005_Kashmir_earthquake#Distinction_between_aid_pledged_and_givenWaqas.usman 07:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * If I had some more time I'd try to verify exactly what was merely 'pledged' and what has already been given, but in general many publications (at least online ones) are rather vague about this distinction too, and with so many countries promising money it's quite a daunting task.Freshgavin 23:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

"location on the globe"
sorry but that first map is really devoid of any useful information. You might as well do a map showing the "approximate location in the Milky Way". Let people who don't know where Pakistan is click on Pakistan. 08:56, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Location of EPICENTER
I may have this wrong but the coordinates of the epicentre (as cited by (USGS) seem to change regularly. They are now 34.443°N, 73.581°E which expanded are +34° 26' 34.80" N, +73° 34' 51.60" E when this morning they were 34° 24' 7" N, +73° 33' 36" E and earlier 34° 25′ 55″ N, 73° 32′ 13″ E. I guess the USGS refines its interpretation of the data from time to time, but does not make this clear? It's not that important in the context of the widespread and devastating destruction - but I'll change the refs in any case Kamayoq 14:26, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

432 Pakistani soldiers killed
I have updated the info in the article > Confirmed Casualities. It was officially reported on ARYOne Digital News that 432 Pakistani soldiers have been killed in the earthquakes. Does this needs to be input on the table of casuality figures?

 * No, but it would be nice if you could provide a link to the website/source which reported this. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 21:13, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * ARYOne Digital is a Pakistani News Channel. The deaths were announced in one of their broadcasts. And unfortunately their site is not yet up and running.

 * Ok. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 18:55, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Relief and Aid
I think this section needs rationalising.Geni 01:35, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

International response to 2005 Kashmir earthquake spinout
The main bulk of the section on International response to 2005 Kashmir earthquake is now spinout to a separate article, as was suggested by several users. This make sense since the section is more stable now, and the article can remain focused on the on-going relief effort. --Vsion 01:57, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Red Star, why?
It is probably not fortunate to denote the location with a red star on the earthglobe picture, considering how the pakistani were among the most adamant anti-communist warriors in the afghan war against the ussr! 195.70.32.136 14:49, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I see an orange star, but I still don't think that the star symbolizes anything. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 19:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually the orange star does mean something. The image is from the USGS, and the color they use for the star indicates the depth of the hypocenter of the earthquake. Tito xd (?!?) 21:19, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Interesting. -- a.n.o.n.y.m  t 21:23, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Most amusing. We need some "gallows humour" in these sad times. Wallie 18:31, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

"Casualties" means "dead and wounded"
The article currently says:
 * Local authorities reported the official death toll as 39,422 in Pakistan (including more than 13,000 killed in North West Frontier Province) and 1,329 in Indian-administered region of Kashmir. Eleven days after the quake, the number of casualties has risen to 79,318 . Some estimate that the death toll could reach 100,000.

The sequence of numbers makes me think someone incorrectly used "casualties" as a synonym for "deaths", but clearly I may be wrong. Can someone verify? And the claim that deaths may reach 100,000 needs to be sourced. Tempshill 18:06, 19 October 2005 (UTC) It is sourced (3): ""The relief commissioner, Maj. Gen. Farooq Ahmed Khan, gave an even worse prediction to Pakistan's Geo television. ``Some people fear that the death toll could be 100,000 and they may be right,'' he said. "" [http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5348229,00.html]

But I take your point about casualties... the latest via AP and many other sources is that the DEATH TOLL is rising towards 80,000. I'll change it.

Kamayoq 23:22, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Economic/social/political impact of the earthquake on Pakistan
Shouldn't there be a section about these things? I remember that the Hurricane Katrina article had some extensive analysis and commentary about the effects of the disaster on wider American society. This is a tragedy of even greater proportions and it is bound to have catastrophically effected Pakistani society and attitudes to their government. Maybe somebody who knows more about this than I do could write a section or even an article about it? :)Ya'Aseh Shalom 19:35, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Pakistan earthquake relief
I have added Pakistan earthquake relief to list what help pakistan need like blankets, food etc. Some body changed it, without reason. Tell me if I would like to list items needed in releif operation, where should I write.

Revised casualty template
Greetings, all! I have taken the liberty of revising the casualty template because I have repeatedly noticed that the numbers listed do not correspond with the sources cited on the side. The misinformation arises over the course of many edits, so I have linked the number with the source that supports it. I have been forced to change some of the numbers that were supposedly based on those sources. Here is a summary of the mess of problems I found when verifying the numbers:
 * October 19, lists 79,000 casualties in the headline, but the article itself indicates that the headline is an approximation of 79,318 broken up into 37,958 in North West Frontier Province, 40,000 in Pakistani-held Kashmir, and 1,360 in Indian Kashmir. Whoops! We had the total 79,000+ (actually 79,318 in the article) listed under Pakistan alone, when it actually includes parts of India and disputed territory.
 * October 16, supercedes the previous article (although earlier), adding 1500 deaths. This source seems to be more up to date than the article in Yahoo news. I could not reconcile the sources until I split deaths between Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir. This article does not include Kashmir. This source lists 1,329 dead in Indian Kashmir.
 * October 11, was an early report and does not match later numbers. It lists 20,000 deaths in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir and 900 deaths in Indian Kashmir.
 * October 11, was a better early report, listing 30,000 dead in Pakistan, 999 in India, and one in Afghanistan.

I had originally intended to simply clarify which numbers were from which sources, but I think I will update the table to resemble the figures listed in the summary at the top of the article.

The best part is that it's not only more accurate, but it's also better looking. --CheerfulPaul 19:20, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Injured in Pakistan are 100,000+
Last night, Geo news reported 100,000+ injured according to official stats. Please amend the casualities and injured stats table.

Here's a link dated 8th November which states it to be an estimate:

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/pictures/MUZ318D.htm

However, yesterday night (9th November), it was confirmed on Geo News (www.geo.tv).

Here is another link stating it to be 100,000+ injured:

http://www.jang-group.com/thenews/oct2005-weekly/nos-16-10-2005/she.htm#2

It's from the The News International, a widely circulated English daily newspaper in Pakistan.

 * I am having no luck in finding a working source that supports the above. (The links provided above are no longer good.) The numbers in the current article seem inflated compared to sources cited.--Racerx11 (talk) 03:10, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Comparison with other earthquakes
The article currently reads (in parentheses):
 * By comparison, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake had a magnitude of 9.15.

Other than the similar scale of media coverage, I see no reason to compare those two earthquakes; the 2004 one is qualitatively different because it happened under watddsadlksdsjajx sxkj dca; ksdaH kAJklsajd iwio2q0d dl dk lkser, and the devastation was caused by a tsunami rather than the earthquake itself. I think a recent earthquake on land should be used for comparisons. — Timwi 11:11, 15 November 2005 (UTC)akdsajdsadA '

Agreed. --CompuWiz 18:57, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Changing Title
The earthquake killed more than 1,500 people in India. Therefore, the article should be titled 2005 Kashmir earthquake. The current title in misleading as it suggests that the earthquake affected Pakistan only which is incorrect. --Incman|वार्ता 07:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

How Could The Damage Be Reduced For Next Time?
82.37.124.190 17:36, 13 January 2007 (UTC)Aaron...I wanted to know how the damage could be reduced for the next big earthquake e.g more structure to buildings and more health suplies for injured people

Some material appears to be based on heresay
The following was removed becuase it appears doubtful and based on heresay. If this is factual, it needs to be reinserted into the main article with credible supporting sources.

"There were several reports that the Indian army used the crisis and dissaray in Pakistani Kashmir to send over several of its RAW operatives to gather intelligence and to penetrate previously unavailable areas of Pakistan's Northern Areas. According to eye witness accounts, after the earthquake, many of the victims say that they saw what they believed to be 'military' looking men in plain clothes who were slightly darker and/or Indian in appearance arrived to their village on foot. These men appeared to have arrived from an easternly direction (meaning from across the line of control in Indian-occuppied Kashmir).  Rather than stopping to provide any assistance, the villagers noted that the men looked out of place, and extremely nervous and agitated, which they initially thought was due to the mass destruction as the entire area was in shock, the group of men hurredly left along the main arteries on foot towards Pakistans major urban centres, much to the dismay of the survivors. Later, Pakistani government officials and army spokesmen acknowledged that several Indian operatives had penetrated the several sectors of the Line of Control in which the Pakistani troops and border officials patrolling them had died as a result of the earthquake, thus leaving the border regions unsafeguarded."

-- Aylahs (talk) 01:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Cuban doctors
Why there is no mention that according to the Pakistani government’s Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Authority, 73% of all the patients in earthquake-hit areas were assisted by the Cuban medical brigade.

Cuba also donated 30 mobile hospitals, 241 tonnes of medicines and 275 tonnes of medical equipment, and provided training to 600 Pakistani medical students.

http://www.europe-solidaire.org/spip.php?article2288

 * I'm not sure where the source gets its figures; I was there and didn't see a cuban "doctor" (who are actually medics, by the way) anywhere except for a small aid camp outside of Manshera and another in the Neelum, neither significant. Gtadoc 05:54, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

This is very muddled - it has Commonwealth English spellings (epicentre) and Amercian English (centered, neighboring). It should be all in one or the other, not a mix. 81.147.150.204 (talk) 09:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. While there are sources that use "2005 Pakistan earthquake" there are also sources that use "2005 Kashmir earthquake". There is no convincing reason for the move. DrKiernan (talk) 14:43, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

2005 Kashmir earthquake → 2005 Pakistan earthquake – The name of the article is misleading because this earthquake occurred inside the state of Pakistan (in the heart of Pakistan, which affected Pakistan's capital Islamabad), Kashmir is not a country and only few people know of that region and its location. 80,000 Pakistanis were killed by this earthquake and 100,000 more Pakistanis were injured, and massive damage was done to Pakistan's infrastructure. An event like this should be recognized by country unless more than one earthquake occurred in the same country in the same year. This is part of Pakistan's history. Plus, majority sources named it 2005 Pakistan earthquake and should be the same here, the same as 2010 Haiti earthquake. The epicenter was Muzaffarabad, which sits inside Pakistan. 39.41.66.187 (talk) 00:31, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose - the majority of sources in GoogleScholar and GoogleBooks use "2005 Kashmir earthquake", although the position is reversed in a general google search, so I don't think that there is a clear picture there regarding WP:COMMONAME that would support such a move. There's no particular consistency about naming earthquake articles on wikipedia, for every year-country example there is a year-geographic district example e.g. 2001 Gujarat earthquake, although obviously the bigger the country the more specific they tend to become. Mikenorton (talk) 11:55, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Gujarat is a state in western India but Kashmir is a disputed territory which sits inside Pakistan and inside India. The name of this article being 2005 Pakistan earthquake makes readers quickly understand that the earthquake and all the damage took place inside Pakistan. Not only Kashmir experianced the quake and damages but also other parts of Pakistan, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, Pakistan's capital Islamabad and Punjab, Pakistan.--39.41.41.85 (talk) 21:59, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

 * There were more than a thousand deaths in Indian administered Kashmir, so not all the damage took place in Pakistan. Mikenorton (talk) 22:19, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

 * 1. That territory is disputed among China, India and Pakistan. Pakistan, which claims the territory as disputed, refers to it alternatively as Indian-occupied Kashmir or Indian-held Kashmir, while some international agencies such as the United Nations call it Indian-administered Kashmir. The point of the name change is that 95% of the earthquake happened inside Pakistan so it should be known in history as the earthquake that took place inside Pakistan.--39.41.122.216 (talk) 10:19, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

 * 2. The Wikipedia article is very inaccurate. This source gives a much accurate information and it also names it 2005 Pakistan earthquake because alot of other places inside Pakistan recieved major damages as a result of it. " Its main impact zone was in AJK and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. An area (mostly mountainous and rugged terrain) of about 30,000 sq. km approximately was affected by this earthquake. It damaged about 6,440 km roads. It damaged 50-70 % of services like power, water and sanitation etc. Approximately 400,153 houses, 6,298 schools and 796 health facilities were damaged and destroyed. UN 2006. Approximately 100,000 people were dead, around 138,000 people were seriously injured and 3.5 million people were displaced in this earthquake ..." .--39.41.114.65 (talk) 21:10, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Support, leaving a redirect from 2005 Kashmir earthquake. The earthquake was very widely reported at the time in the UK as being in Pakistan. If it widely affected Kashmir there's no harm in leaving a redirect. Sionk (talk) 23:12, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Support because we favor accurate names whenever plausible and at least somewhat supported by sources. Certainly seems to apply here. Red Slash 04:56, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the proposed title would suggest that the earthquake affected just Pakistan, when in fact several countries were affected. A better option would be 2005 Muzaffarabad earthquake since that pinpoints the rough epicentre and avoids all the geopolitical debate about whether it is part of one country or another. 212.113.145.253 (talk) 00:46, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose, per the usage research done by Mikenorton. I'd also dispute the claim that "only few people know of [Kashmir] and its location", or that we should be using the most well-known names. Additionally, Azad Kashmir is not technically Pakistan, according to Pakistani law. The suggestion above of using the epicentre in the title is more practical. Osiris (talk) 12:23, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Your comment is only partially right; Azad Kashmir is not a province of Pakistan, yes. But it is an administrative territory that is governed under the jurisdiction of Pakistan and is part of the Pakistani federation. Thus your assertion that it is not technically Pakistan is incorrect in that regard.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 14:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * From Azad Kashmir: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) is a self-governing state under Pakistani control, but under Pakistan's constitution the state is not actually part of Pakistan. It cites Britannica. Regardless, the most common name appearing on Google is Kashmir, and with more than a thousand deaths on the Indian-administered side, it's better left at just "Kashmir". Osiris (talk) 18:02, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Support The proposer makes a logical argument. Most of the damages and casualties that occurred from the earthquake were in Pakistan. The earthquake epicenter itself was in the Pakistan-administered part of Kashmir. However, in addition to Kashmir, several other neighboring regions of Pakistan were also gravely affected. Changing the title would be an accurate move.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 14:34, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose,Some casualities occured in Indian part of Kashmir although area under Pakistam was most affected.So naming it Pakistan earthquake is not appropriate.I am wondering people engaging with each other on these issues too. ---zeeyanwiki discutez 19:05, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Policy urges us not to be pedantic and to use the term most often used in reliable sources rather than what is technically correct. The earthquake is commonly referred to as the Kashmir Earthquake (Britannica uses Kashmir earthquake of 2005, for example). Regardless of the political position of the part of Kashmir in/administered by/occupied by Pakistan, since the effects of the earthquake were felt beyond that area, the alternative proposed is neither the common name nor the technically correct one. --regentspark (comment) 19:45, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * You are wrong. The earthquake is commonly referred to as Pakistan Earthquake., , . Britannica is not a good example, it can be edited by anyone, it contains more wrong information than Wikipedia.--39.41.212.239 (talk) 20:54, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Peter Cunnah

Peter Cunnah (born 30 August 1966 in Derry, Northern Ireland) is a Northern Irish singer and lead singer and songwriter of 1990s dance-pop duo D:Ream.

D:Ream
Prior to forming D:Ream, he was lead guitarist with Belfast-based band Tie the Boy, who were briefly signed to the Mother Records label, owned by U2. When that deal foundered soon after the band's move from Belfast to London, in-fighting amongst the members led rapidly to its split.

Finding himself in the heart of London's clubland, Cunnah, already a producer, originally conceived D:Ream as a way of re-using songs from his previous band. With little by way of support in London, he teamed up with DJ Al Mackenzie on a series of dance records by a 'faceless' dance act which would be fronted live and on-record by a diva, leaving Cunnah free to concentrate on songwriting and production and Mackenzie on building a DJ reputation.

However, after a live date when Cunnah stepped up to sing, he found himself enjoying the experience and rapidly remodelled the D:Ream concept around his own vocals. Initially performing as a duo, they received acclaim in clubs and found management and record and publishing deals.

Solo work
Cunnah subsequently developed solo and collaborative material while working as a writer and producer behind the scenes, including singles and album tracks for the pop groups Steps and A1. He sang lead vocals on Chicane's 2003 single "Love on the Run", which reached No.33 in the United Kingdom and No.43 in Ireland. Cunnah also helped compose music for the anime InuYasha.

Cunnah returned to live performances with guitar-based band Shane, whose debut single "The Weight of This" was released in May 2006. Shane sees Cunnah going back to his roots. He has two old friends in the band – Paul Greendale on guitar and Mark Roberts on drums. Cunnah knew Roberts from their time in the rock band Tie The Boy. Cunnah has also produced the YouTube star Ben Kelly, a contestant on The Voice UK.

Talk:Highlands and Islands (Scottish Parliament electoral region)

First-past-the-post constituencies in the electoral area
Am I right in thinking the electoral area covers the area of a discrete number of first-past-the-post constituencies, namely:
 * Argyll and Bute
 * Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross,
 * Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber,
 * Orkney,
 * Moray
 * Ross, Skye and Inverness West,
 * Shetland and
 * Western Isles?

Laurel Bush 09:26, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes. I am right. Laurel Bush 10:30, 11 November 2005 (UTC).

Overlap with Argyll and Bute and with Moray
Is there some historical reason for the overlap? Does Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber have the same overlap? Laurel Bush 09:56, 8 October 2005 (UTC).

The electoral regions are groups of constituencies, and many constituency boundaries do not coincide with unitary authority local government boundaries. Laurel Bush 10:33, 11 November 2005 (UTC).

Election results
Additional member results need context in terms of constituency results, which help to determine how additional member seats are allocated. Laurel Bush 10:36, 11 November 2005 (UTC).

Context now provided. Laurel Bush 11:04, 17 November 2005 (UTC).

Proposed merger
I am trying to figure the proposed merger. Cant see what it might achieve. Highlands and Islands has various meanings, some more or less vague than others. The electoral region, however, is very precisely defined, in terms of area and purpose, and should have its own article, as do each of the other electoral regions of the Scottish Parliament. Might make sense to move Highlands and Islands, as it is now, to Highlands and Islands (Scottish Parliament region), and then to move Highlands and Islands area to Highlands and Islands. Laurel Bush 12:47, 20 February 2006 (UTC).

 * Agree with this proposal, 'Highlands and Islands' is the general name, the electoral region is a specific use of this name, so having Highlands and Islands (Scottish Parliament region) is more appropriate. :Supergolden:: 14:37, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Arran
Arran seems to be on the regional map but not the constituency map --Henrygb 02:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The regional map is wrong. Arran is in another region. Laurel Bush 13:32, 8 May 2007 (UTC).
