Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport

The Diocese of Bridgeport (Dioecesis Bridgeportensis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or diocese of the Catholic Church located in the southwestern part of the state of Connecticut in the United States. It is a suffragan diocese in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Hartford.

The Diocese of Bridgeport includes all of Fairfield County, Connecticut and has 82 parishes. Its cathedral is St. Augustine Cathedral in Bridgeport. As of 2023, the diocese is led by Bishop Frank Caggiano.

The largest church in the Diocese of Bridgeport is St. Mary's Church in Stamford, built in 1928. Sacred Heart Parish in Georgetown was the home parish for American writers Flannery O'Connor and Robert Fitzgerald from 1949 to 1952 when O'Connor was living in Ridgefield as a boarder with the Fitzgeralds. ("The working day as we set it up that fall began with early mass in Georgetown, four miles away," Fitzgerald wrote.)

Several parishes also offer the Traditional Latin mass, particularly Sts. Cyril and Methodius Parish in Bridgeport, which offers mass in no other language.

History
The Catholic Church in Fairfield County, in Connecticut and in America faced ongoing challenges through much of its history as diverse immigrant groups struggled to acclimate themselves to American culture. Another early challenge came from deep suspicions among many (although not all) Protestants.

Seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
In the 17th and much of the 18th centuries, Puritan ministers in the British Province of Connecticut were vociferously anti-Catholic in their writings and preaching. They considered the Catholic Church to be a foreign political power, with Catholics only having loyalty to the Vatican. Catholics were prohibited from buying land or running for public office without first publicly disowning their church. This began to change with the onset of the American Revolution:"'In the summer of 1781, French Marshal Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau and his army marched through Connecticut, encamping in the Ridgebury section of Ridgefield, where the first Catholic mass [in Fairfield County] was offered. His troops were mostly Catholic and were ministered to by Reverend Fathers Robin, Gluson, Lacy, and Saint Pierre.'"After the American Revolution, between 1780 and 1781 in Lebanon the first Catholic "Mass was first celebrated, continuously and for a long period, within the limits of the State of Connecticut." On June 26, 1881, St. Peter's Parish in Hartford celebrated the centenary of that first mass.

The Connecticut General Assembly passed an act of toleration in 1784, allowing any Protestant to avoid paying taxes to support the local Congregational Church, provided that they could prove membership and regular attendance at another Protestant church. In 1791, the Assembly granted the same right to all Christians, including Catholics. However, the act had little practical effect for Catholics as there were no parishes then in the state.

Nineteenth century
The first Catholic church in Connecticut was established in 1829 in Hartford. In 1830, James Fitton celebrated mass in Bridgeport in the home of James McCullough on Middle Street. From 1832 to 1837, James McDermot visited Hartford from New Haven. He said mass at the Farrell residence, also on Middle Street. By 1835, the rector of the New Haven church estimated there were 720 Catholics in Fairfield County, with Bridgeport home of the biggest community, about 100 people. McDermot was followed by James Smyth, also from New Haven.

In 1842, St. James the Apostle Church (Irish) was dedicated by Bishop Benedict Fenwick of the Diocese of Boston in Bridgeport. The town then had a population of about 250 Catholics. The church rector was given responsibility for small Catholic communities in Derby and Norwalk. Catholics in Stamford, Greenwich and other towns were ministered to by the Bridgeport rector and by Jesuit priests based at Fordham College in New York City. In 1844, Michael Lynch, a former pastor in Waltham, Massachusetts, became the first resident priest in Bridgeport. His responsibilities included missions in Norwalk, Stamford, Danbury, Wolcottville, and Norfolk. The first Catholic church in Stamford, St. John's, was dedicated in 1851. Thomas Synnott, pastor of St. James Parish, established St. Mary's Parish (Irish) in East Bridgeport in 1854. The first Catholic church in Greenwich was opened in 1860, serving Irish immigrants in the area.

Synnott opened St. Augustine (Irish) Parish in Bridgeport in 1869. Sacred Heart Parish (Irish) was organized in 1883; until the church was ready for services, mass was held at the Opera House. In 1890, James Nihil purchased the Eli Thompson estate; the Board of Education allowed the use of the Grand Street School until St. Patrick's Church was ready for services. St. Michael's "Chapel of Ease" (funded and administered by Sacred Heart Parish) was constructed in Bridgeport in 1895; the Sisters of Mercy operated a school in the rear portion of the building. The diocese established several ethnic parishes during this period:

 * St. Joseph's (German)
 * St. Anthony of Padua (French)
 * St. Stephen of Hungary (Hungarian) in Bridgeport (1887)
 * St. John Nepomucene (Slovak), the first Slovak church in New England in Bridgeport (1881)

In 1843, Pope Leo XIII split the Diocese of Hartford off from the Diocese of Boston, which had previously covered all of New England. The new diocese consisted of all of Connecticut and Rhode Island. The Bridgeport area would remain part of the Diocese of Hartford for the next 110 years.

Twentieth century
Pope Pius XII erected the Diocese of Bridgeport on August 6, 1953, removing its territory from the Diocese of Hartford. The pope named Auxiliary Bishop Lawrence Shehan of the Archdiocese of Baltimore as the first bishop of Bridgeport.

During his tenure in Bridgeport, Shehan established 18 new parishes, built 24 new churches, and founded three high schools. He also formed a Catholic Youth Organization, promoted vocations to the priesthood and religious life, and began parish ministry for the increasing number of Hispanic, Portuguese, and Brazilian immigrants. In 1960, Shehan convoked the first synod of Bridgeport to complete the initial organization of the diocese and to establish a uniform code of practice and discipline for the clergy. Shehan was named archbishop of the Archdiocese of Baltimore by Pope John XXIII in 1961.

John XXIII named Auxiliary Bishop Walter Curtis of the Archdiocese of Newark as the next bishop of Bridgeport in 1961. As bishop, Curtis established the following schools in the diocese:

 * Notre Dame Girls' High School in Fairfield
 * Kolbe Cathedral High School in Bridgeport
 * Notre Dame Boys' High School in Fairfield
 * St. Joseph High School in Trumbull
 * Immaculate High School in Danbury
 * Sacred Heart University at Fairfield in 1963

Curtis spent most of his administration implementing the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. During the 1970s, he oversaw the renovation of St. Augustine Cathedral and its re-dedication in 1979. He established two nursing homes: Pope John Paul II Health Care Center in Danbury and St. Camillus Health Care Center in Stamford The Catholic population in the diocese increased from 286,000 to 300,000. He also founded the Fairfield Foundation, a nondenominational group that helps people in need in the county. Curtis retired in 1988.

Pope John Paul II named Auxiliary Bishop Edward Egan of the Archdiocese of New York as the next bishop of Bridgeport in 1988. During his tenure, Egan oversaw the reorganization of Catholic schools. He also raised $45 million for diocesan schools through a fundraising campaign, "Faith in the Future." The diocesan Catholic Charities under his tenure, became the largest private social service agency in the county. To support the 12 Hispanic parishes in the diocese, he brought Spanish-speaking priests to Bridgeport from Colombia. Egan also established a home for retired priests and a school for children with special needs.

Twenty-first century
After John Paul II named Egan as archbishop of New York, the pope appointed Auxiliary Bishop William E. Lori from the Archdiocese of Washington as the new bishop of Bridgeport. While serving in Bridgeport, Lori refused to release the names of diocesan priests who were being sued for sexual abuse of minors. The US Supreme Court ruled against Lori in 2009 and the diocese was forced to release the names. Pope Benedict XVI named Lori as archbishop of the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 2012.

Auxiliary Bishop Frank Caggiano of the Diocese of Brooklyn was appointed by Benedict XVI as bishop of Bridgeport in 2012. One of Caggiano's first actions as bishop was to publicly announce the financial deficit incurred before his installation. He mandated that pastors serve six-year renewable periods at parishes and required that they submit their resignations when they turned 75, much like bishops did.

In 2014, Caggiano convoked the 4th Synod of the Diocese of Bridgeport, the first in 32 years (themed "Building Bridges to the Future Together"). In an interview with America Magazine, Caggiano said that one of his first priorities as bishop was reaching out to the high percentage of Catholics in the diocese who no longer attend mass. One of the major concerns that the synod focused on was the decline in mass attendance and sacramental reception as well as the need to bolster Catholic schools due to declining enrollment. In 2018, Caggiano announced that liturgical norms and regulations in the diocese would be revised over the next four-year period as a result of discussions from the diocesan synod. Caggiano said that these newer regulations would "allow us to pray effectively and reverently as a Church" and would be the newest norms implemented since 1983.

As of 2023, Caggiano is the bishop of Bridgeport.

Reports of sex abuse
In 1993, 23 lawsuits were filed against the Diocese of Bridgeport, alleging sexual abuse by priests. The diocese settled all 23 claims in 2001. Five priests were suspended from the ministry.

Kieran Ahearn of Bethel was arrested in January 1993 on charges of indecent assault on a minor. While on a ski trip to the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts, he brought a 16-year-old boy to his motel room. Ahern said the boy approached him, saying he had run away from a state school; Ahearn said he brought the boy to the motel to counsel him. Ahearn was acquitted of sexual abuse, but convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was sentenced to two years of probation.

In May 2001, John J. Castaldo of Stamford was charged in New York with the attempted dissemination of indecent material to a minor. He was accused of sending sexually explicit messages to a police investigator posing as a 14-year-old boy. He pleaded guilty and received one weekend in jail and five years of probation.

Paul Gotta was arrested in 2013 and charged with sexually abusing a teenage boy. He forced the boy to strip naked and performed sexual acts on him. However, the sexual abuse charges were dropped as part of a plea deal. The diocese removed Gotta from ministry in 2013. In 2017, Gotta was convicted of having another teenage boy purchase thousands of rounds of handgun ammunition and giving that boy explosives. Gotta was sentenced to nine months in prison.

In November 2014, the diocese revealed a list of 14 clergy with credible accusations of sexual abuse of children.

In May 2014, Bishop Caggiano removed John Stronkowski from his post at St. Margaret Mary Alacoque Church in Shelton, citing absenteeism. He was not re-assigned to another post. In June 2016, citing credible accusations of sexual abuse, Caggiano suspended Stronkowski from ministry.

In October 2018, the diocese released a report of financial settlements with abuse victims. The majority of the cost of settlements (approximately 92%) was provided through the sale of diocesan property, insurance recoveries and other co-defendants. The diocese paid approximately $52.5 million to settle 156 abuse cases dating back to 1953. In March 2019, ten additional names were later added to the original 2014 list.

In October 2019, former Connecticut Superior Court Judge Robert Holzberg released the results of his investigation, commissioned by Caggiano, into the diocese's handling of accusations of sexual abuse by its priests. Holzberg found that Bishops Shehan, Curtis and Egan consistently failed to fulfill their moral and legal responsibilities. Holzberg described Egan as taking a "dismissive, uncaring, and at times threatening attitude toward survivors"; he characterized Egan's behavior as "profoundly unsympathetic, inadequate, and inflammatory". Holzberg's report accused 71 priests of sexually abusing 300 children since 1953. However, the report praised the reforms made by Bishops Lori and Caggiano to combat sex abuse; Holzberg compared their tenures to that of their three predecessors as "a tale of two cities."

In January 2020, Jaime Marin-Cordona of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Danbury was arrested and charged with three counts of fourth-degree sexual assault, three counts of risk of injury to child and three counts of illegal sexual contact. He was accused of grooming and sexually abusing two boys starting in 2014. He pleaded not guilty to all nine charges. In 2022, Marin-Cordona was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to one year in state prison.

Emery Roth

Emery Roth (Róth Imre, died August 20, 1948) was a Hungarian-American architect of Hungarian-Jewish descent who designed many New York City hotels and apartment buildings of the 1920s and 1930s, incorporating Beaux-Arts and Art Deco details. His sons continued in the family enterprise, largely expanding the firm under the name Emery Roth & Sons.

Life and career

Born in Gálszécs, Kingdom of Hungary (now Sečovce, Slovakia to a Jewish family, Roth emigrated to the United States at the age of 13 after his family fell into poverty upon his father's death. He began his architectural apprenticeship as a draftsman in the Chicago offices of Burnham & Root, working on the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. Roth also designed one of his first solo projects at the Exposition: a pavilion that housed a chocolatier.

At the Exposition, Roth met Richard Morris Hunt, who was impressed with his skills and invited Roth to work in his office in New York. Following Hunt's premature death in 1895, Roth moved to the office of Ogden Codman Jr., a designer and decorator with a Newport, Rhode Island, clientele. In the interwar years, the firm of Emery Roth delivered some of the most influential examples of architecture for apartment houses in the at-the-time fashionable Beaux Arts style, especially in Manhattan.

Many of his most notable projects are located on the Upper West Side, specifically Central Park West which is home to the San Remo, the Beresford, the Ardsley, and others. In 1938, Roth included his sons Julian and Richard as partners.

Emery Roth & Sons
Despite the fact that Roth's sons, Julian and Richard, had joined the firm many years earlier, it was not until 1947 that the firm's name was changed to Emery Roth & Sons, approximately one year before Roth's death. Julian (1901–1992) specialized in construction costs and building materials and technology, while Richard (1904–1987) was named the firm's principal architect.

In the 1950s and 1960s Emery Roth & Sons became the most influential architectural firm in New York and contributed substantially in changing the appearance of Midtown and Lower Manhattan. In that particular period of time Emery Roth & Sons designed dozens of speculative office buildings, mostly with curtain wall facades, which soon became a ubiquitous feature of the city.

Beginning in the mid-1960s, the firm was also hired as associate architects in large-scale projects like the Pan Am Building (1963), the World Trade Center (1966–1973) and the Citicorp Center (1977). In the early 1960s, Richard Roth's son, Richard Roth, Jr. (b. 1933) became the third generation to join the firm, eventually rising to chief architect CEO and shareholder.

As the firm expanded and diversified over six decades, it remained a family business through the 1990s. In 1988 Richard Roth Jr's daughter Robyn Roth-Moise joined the firm as comptroller. Richard Roth Jr's son Richard Lee Roth joined the firm in 1982 and became the chief specification writer for Emery Roth & Sons. Both retired from the firm when Richard Roth Jr retired and was replaced as the company's CEO in 1993 by Robert Sobel, Roth's cousin.

Only three years later, in 1996, the firm ceased to operate, apparently because of financial distress. Emery's great-grandson Richard Lee Roth currently works in the architectural profession and resides in South Florida.

The extensive architectural records and papers of both Emery Roth and Emery Roth & Sons are now held in the Department of Drawings & Archives at the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University.

Untitled
Christ, I was sure that the "Dennis/Peggy storyline axed" edit had to be a joke. But I googled, and no... Jim Moreau 17:30, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

There's no Wikipedia rule against spoilers, Trampikey. That's an edited version of a contribution made by another user in good faith; I'm reverting it. Feel free to add a "plot details follow" heading. Jim Moreau 15:31, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * These articles are written as in "He did this", not "He is going to do this"
 * What's your point?

Marital status
Am I the only one who thinks there's something not quite right about "Marital status: Deceased"? 15:29, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

It's a tricky one, but "till death.." is part of the traditional vows...Britmax 11:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Well he's not single, married, divorced, widowed or separated... Sweetie Petie 12:33, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Or in a relationship! Trampik e y (talk to me)(contribs) 23:44, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Date of death
Changed the date of death to 31 December 2005, he was killed as the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve so it should either be this or 1st January 2006. Only reason I can think of for it being the 30 December was that was when it was broadcast? hawkfist
 * Yeah you're right, though I don't remember the day it was broadcast. We should probably say he died on 1 January 2006 as it was when the clock struck midnight and he wouldn't have died for at least a few seconds ;) Is everyone in agreement? — AnemoneProj e ctors (talk) 11:06, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It was put as 30 December because that's when the episode was broadcast. I think we should leave it as 31 December, because it is debatable, and putting it as 1 January 2006 could cause some confusion having his "Duration" saying "2003-2005". Also, another issue is; when was his last appearance? was it 30 December (when it was broadcast) or 31 December, which was the date of the action taking place? Trampik e y (talk to me)(contribs) 15:33, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Duration and last appearance are for real dates in the real world, so 30 December is correct. His death date should be the date he died in the fictional EastEnders universe. — AnemoneProj e ctors (talk) 16:20, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Updating article
Hmmmm.... I actually hadn't realised how bad this article actually was. I may try my hand at fixing it while I have all the Watts stuff in my head.

Can I also put the call out for any sources and references. :)Familiae Watts (talk) 09:43, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Rather than the problems involved with tweaking existing articles, I've created a draft copy of this article here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Familiae_Watts/workspace/Dennis where I will gradually make the improvements and alterations to the article, transferring the final product over at the conclusions. Suggestions, comments about improving the article are welcome at the draft talk page. :)Familiae Watts (talk) 14:48, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

 * The storyline section will probably have to be condensed.... if anyone wants to have a go I'd appreciate it. :)Familiae Watts (talk) 14:23, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Done it! Though reading it made me ask a few questions. Firstly, there's only a very brief mention of their wedding, nothing to say they even got engaged. Didn't Vicki discover Den after researching the family tree? (Not sure how she managed that, have you ever done that kind of research? I doubt she'd have found him in reality!) Oh, and why did Johnny threaten to kill Dennis if they didn't leave by midnight? Also, what was Dennis's relationship with Dot? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 20:43, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * lol! Don't you hate that (or love it!) - when you read something about a past character and it sparks your interest again! If memory serves, their engagement was very short - in fact, it was written in as Dennis and Sharon wanting to marry asap. I don't remember that much about Vicki being the one to discover Den exactly (she was always the weakest of the Watts by far, imo). I always thought that Dennis learnt it and let it slip to Vicki who then went on the hunt for Den??? Johnny threatened Dennis because Dennis beat him to a pulp! Dennis beat him to a pulp because Johnny threatened Sharon for interferring with Ruby. Dennis learnt this because Phil told him (ergo, Phil killed Dennis! Or at least is partially responsible, which Sharon is yet to learn of). And Dot and Dennis were friends because Dot was the first one to befriend him when he first arrived on the square. Phew. And thanks for condensing the storyline section. I am moving onto the Character development section next (drafts can be seen in the link above, which I will just gradually transfer here). And finally then a reception section. Oddly, I found it ALOT more difficult to get sources for Dennis than for Chrissie by far - and I had to wade through a lot more fan stuff and appreciations for Mr Harman's physicality.Familiae Watt§ (talk) 20:56, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I am remembering Vicki doing something with a family tree.... I'd look on the BBC website if it had the damn archives up.Familiae Watt§ (talk) 20:58, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * When I'm looking for sources on older characters, I tend to stick to Google News archives as it cuts out all the bloggy stuff. But there are few news sites that keep their news articles live forever (BBC, Digital Spy, Guardian to name 3). most of them are only accessible through another website by subscribing. Maybe a few things need to be added to the storylines here then. I think a section in development on Dot's friendship would be nice, but probably impossible. There's only one mention of him on Dot's page - that he was the only person she told about her cancer. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:53, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I think I can probably work his friendship with Dot into the "Personality" subsection - that section is basically going to describe how he was a tough guy with a soft side (etc., etc.), and his friendship with Dot can be given as an example of this - it is actually a good example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Familiae Watts (talk • contribs) 21:57, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah yeah, good idea! But can it be sourced? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:12, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Mmmm, yes, I was thinking about that.... I will try. So far I've been looking more at the early sources I have (for the creation section)... there may be some stuff in the later material I've got, you know, "looking back" as he exited.Familiae Watt§ (talk) 22:19, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Well it was for the best of causes - the Watts articles are just so critical!!! If it had been any other set I would have chastised you! ;) Alas, I am at my parents for Xmas, and (co-incidently enough) mum has not watched EE since Sharon left and refuses to have it on the TV until she returns - she didn't take to all the newcomers in 06. I'm getting a friend to tape them for when I return. So I'm afraid I can't help you. Familiae Watt§ (talk) 22:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I had almost given up hope when I finally found a very fitting reference from the Guardian: "Dennis's arrival in the Square was EastEnders at its most glamorous: he stalked along the tube lines in pitch darkness, lit a cigarette which briefly illuminated his face, a fox screeched - and he disappeared into the cockney murk. Those of us looking for clues to his character (OK, just me) were intrigued to note he drank neat vodka, had done time, and established an instant empathy with Dot Cotton." http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2003/may/02/broadcasting.tvandradio —Preceding unsigned comment added by Familiae Watts (talk • contribs) 01:57, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Why has his last appearance been changed from 30th December 2005 to 1st January 2006? I know that he died as the clock struck midnight on NYE 2005 but his last appearance aired on 30th December 2005, there wasn't even an episode of EastEnders on 1st January 2006. If we're going to play around with dates like this then I'm sure there are lots of others that could be changed but generally first/last appearance refers to the broadcasted episode.

Chinaman's chance

Chinaman's chance is an American idiom which means that a person has little or no chance at success, synonymous with similar idioms of improbability such as a snowball's chance in hell or when pigs fly. Although the origin of the phrase is unclear, it may refer to the historical misfortunes which were suffered by Chinese-American immigrants. The expression is controversial due to its use of the term "Chinaman".

Meaning
The idiom is defined as meaning "no chance at all" in The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. Sometimes an extended form not a Chinaman's chance is used.

Potential origins
The origin of the phrase is not well documented. In The Chinese looking glass (1967), Dennis Bloodworth asserts the Chinese people have a long association with gambling. He states they believe "it is better to be lucky than clever", concluding the I Ching has encouraged the acceptance of chance and fate: "the philosophy that makes the Chinese the soothsayer's best customer makes him one of the world's outstanding gamblers, too." This in turn resulted in a resilient attitude in response to misfortune and bad luck: "in the course of a long and turbulent history [the Chinese have] sooner or later overthrown by violence every single major dynasty that [have] misruled [them]".

Two potential origins of the phrase have been advanced, depending on the capitalization of the term. Either the phrase is written with the pejorative (capitalized) term "Chinaman", and Chinaman's chance refers to the treatment of Chinese immigrants to America in the 1800s, or the neutral (lower case) "chinaman" is used instead, with chinaman's chance referring to the fragility of fine porcelain.

Chinese immigration
One early potential origin for the phrase is from the California Gold Rush of 1849. The travel time for news of the gold rush to reach China was quite long, and by the time Chinese immigrants arrived to prospect, many of the rich mines were already claimed. These Chinese immigrants who missed out had to work with only those lands which had already been exploited or which were rejected by others, meaning these late-arriving immigrants had a slim chance of success. The historical record, however, indicates that many Chinese combined efforts with each other and did very well in the goldfields, introducing mining techniques then unknown to non-Chinese. Alternatively, in 1920 the phrase was explained to describe the low probability for the Chinese in America to make a fortune at gold mining. Although there were Chinese in the gold mining camps soon after the news broke, "they were extremely unpopular [and] the slightest excuse was sufficient to warrant their being beaten or chased away; consequently they had no chance to get a real foothold" to establish mining rights.

Another potential origin of the phrase Chinaman's chance traces it to the high probability of death or injury during the construction of the U.S. transcontinental railroad in the late 1860s. During its construction, unstable bottles of nitroglycerine were used for blasting. Chinese workers reportedly were lowered over cliffs by rope and boatswain's chairs to set the nitroglycerine in place. In this work, if they were not lifted back up before the blast, serious injury or death would result. Although these accounts of construction techniques have been debunked as mythmaking after the work was complete, it is undeniable that many Chinese immigrants died while building the railroad. According to a newspaper article published in 1870, 20000 lb of bones from Chinese railroad workers were shipped to China for interment. The article calculated the bones were from 1,200 workers. It is estimated that 20,000 Chinese immigrants worked to build the railroad.

A third possibility is in reference to the low probability of a fair verdict in murder trials with a Chinese victim, assisted partly by California state law first issued in 1850. The conviction of a white man for murdering a Chinese miner was overturned in the case of People v. Hall (1854). In that ruling, the California Supreme Court expanded the definition of "black person" in the California Crimes and Punishments Act of 1850 to exclude "all races other than the Caucasian", throwing out evidence provided by a Chinese immigrant's testimony. The law was amended in 1863 to explicitly exclude testimony from witnesses of certain races: "No Indian, or person having one half or more of Indian blood, or Mongolian or Chinese, shall be permitted to give evidence in favor or against any white person." In a second case, People v. Brady (1870), the Supreme Court of California upheld the statute against the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, stating "the power of testifying is neither an object of desire, nor in any sense a right". New evidence laws were passed in 1872, superseding the prior rules and restoring the right to testify to Chinese Americans.

Bill Bryson believed the phrase could be traced to the Rock Springs Massacre of 1885, referring to the forced expulsion of Chinese American residents, whose chances of living were slimmed by the dual threat of armed mobs and freezing overnight temperatures. Amy Uyematsu also related it to the Rock Springs, writing that the phrase had grim and bitter reality if the fair treatment of Chinese immigrants was impossible. In 1887, as many as 34 Chinese gold miners were massacred along the Snake River in Oregon by a gang of white horse thieves, typical of the anti-Chinese violence in Oregon of the time. Three were arrested and tried for the massacre in Oregon, but none were convicted.

Delicate chinaware
The lower-case term "chinaman" also has a non-pejorative interpretation as a dealer of porcelain from China; the "chinaware" they sold were notoriously delicate and fragile. Based on this, several scholars have advanced a hypothesis that "chinaman's chance" refers to the low probability of avoiding broken chinaware during the long journey from their sources in China to chinaman shops in Europe.

William Morris advanced the lower-case "chinaman" hypothesis in 1957, stating "the phrase 'a chinaman's chance' accurately describes the odds against a merchant of china if he were to find 'a bull in his chinashop!

In addition, Peter Tamony concluded in 1965 the phrase can be traced back to the sport of boxing in early 19th-century Great Britain. Tamony's hypothesis is based on terms such as having a crockery chin or a china chin, which characterize some pugilists as delicate and fragile. An equivalent American idiom would be to say a fighter has a glass jaw. Tamony stated the lowercase phrase chinaman's chance was transferred to the United States via Australia, but based this on his belief the first use of the phrase was from 1914, in a cartoon drawn by Tad Dorgan and published in the San Francisco Call.

In fact, the phrase was already in use by 1893, and as Kenneth Porter wrote in a Western Folklore article published in 1966, "in American usage [Chinaman's chance] is clearly [a reference] to the little chance a native of China would have in any controversy with white Americans. Americans who use the expression, if they consider its origin at all, probably associate it with the anti-Chinese agitation of the 1870's and '80's." Under this interpretation, the phrase may have originated as local slang in California and spread via the journalism of William Randolph Hearst and his flagship newspaper San Francisco Examiner in the 1890s.

Usage history
In describing a potential race between a bicyclist and a thoroughbred racing horse in 1893, The World quoted a horse expert as saying "The bicyclist would win sure ... I don't think the horse would have a Chinaman's chance to beat him." The capitalized term "Chinaman" had become "thoroughly entwined with anti-Chinese racial animus" by the early 20th century and the phrase "Chinaman's chance" carried the same pejorative connotations, alluding to the low probability of success resulting from "the endless social barriers that were thrown up against Chinese immigrants seeking opportunities to advance".

In 2018, Governor of West Virginia Jim Justice used the phrase "Chinaman's chance" to describe the low probability of passing a natural gas tax, for which he received criticism.

English meaning of the Dutch terms for Acehnese suicide attacks
In the paragraph "The Acehnese work of literature, the Hikayat Perang Sabil provided the background and reasoning for the "Aceh-mord"- Acehnese suicide attacks upon the Dutch.[27][28][29] The Indonesian translations of the Dutch terms are Aceh bodoh (Aceh pungo) or Aceh gila (Aceh mord).[30]", I think we should note the English translation of "bodoh" which means "stupid", and "gila" which means "insane".

Very strange to see no mention of Cut Meutia, Cut Nyak Dhien only in the sidebar, and Teuku Umar labeled a traitor by the Dutch.

Martindo (talk) 20:54, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Ottoman empire
The Ottoman empire was not involved in this war, as the wikipedia page of Ottoman embassy to Aceh mentioning; When Aceh was attacked by the Dutch in 1873, triggering the Aceh War, the region invoked the protection of its earlier agreement with the Ottoman Empire as one of its dependencies.[9][10] The claim was rejected by Western powers who feared a precedent being set.[11] Once again Aceh requested military reinforcements from the Ottomans, but the tasked fleet originally designated to help was diverted to Yemen to suppress the Zaidi rebellion there.

Also this source mentioning; "During the Aceh War (1873 to 1903) Aceh appealed for Ottoman support and protection against the Dutch. The main purpose of this chapter is to examine these appeals and the Ottoman authorities’ responses to them, based mainly on the Turkish archival sources. Acehnese leaders sent several letters to Sultan Abdülhamid II, asking for help against the Dutch. In 1891, Sharif ῾Ali b. Isma῾il went to Istanbul to bring Aceh under Ottoman sovereignty. The Acehnese tried to establish relations with the Ottomans through the visit of the Turkish frigate Ertuğrul to Singapore in 1890 and the Ottoman representation in Batavia. Although the Ottoman authorities showed a considerable interest in Aceh matters, this did not materialise because of the current political circumstances. Aceh's distance from Ottoman lands and the lack of sufficient information on the region, coupled with problems in communications, also caused the Ottomans to approach the problem of Aceh cautiously."

Castelfranco Veneto

Castelfranco Veneto (Casteło) is a town and comune (municipality) of Veneto, northern Italy, in the province of Treviso. It is the third largest municipality in the province by population after the capital Treviso and Conegliano. It is centrally located between the cities of Treviso, Padua and Vicenza, it is a walled city with a well-preserved medieval castle.

The city is the birthplace of painter Giorgione, whose house still exists; in a chapel of the city's cathedral, the Pala di Castelfranco is displayed.

Territory
The municipality of Castelfranco Veneto extends over a completely flat area, located at the western end of the province of Treviso, on the border with the province of Padua. The location is such that it can easily reach four provincial capitals (Treviso, Venice, Vicenza and Padua), as well as other important cities such as Bassano del Grappa, Cittadella and Montebelluna.

Thanks to its privileged position, it is served by a very varied and complete transport network: in fact, three important railway lines converge in the area, which intersect in the city station and two important road arteries, the SS 53 Postumia which connects Vicenza to Treviso, and the SS 245 Castellana between Mestre and Bassano del Grappa.

The main river is the Musone-Muson dei Sassi, but other smaller rivers flow in the territory of the municipality: l'Avenale, il Musoncello, il Musonello and il Muson Vecchio.

There are many fractions into which the city is divided. Castelfranco Veneto represents a commercial and industrial pole of great importance compared to the neighboring municipalities of the province of Treviso.

History
Castelfranco was founded between 1195 and 1199 when the recently formed Municipality of Treviso felt the need to guard the border with rivals Padua and Vicenza, in an area where the Muson river represented the only ephemeral natural demarcation. The site chosen was placed in a strategic position: a pre-existing embankment on the eastern bank of the waterway, close to the confluence of the Postumia and Aurelia streets and in a central position between the lordly fortresses of Castello di Godego and Treville and the episcopal fortresses of Salvatronda, Riese and Resana. The works were directed by Count Schenella di Collalto, who employed about five hundred master masons and a thousand "guastatori" (unskilled workers). In a decade the construction could be said to be complete: a moat was dug around the castle walls into which the waters of two tributaries (resurgence waters) of the Muson were diverted: the Avenale and the Musonello.

Once the castle was erected, the Municipality of Treviso sent a colony of one hundred families of free men there, to whom farms and houses were granted exempt from taxes and encumbrances, hence the toponym Castelfranco: castle, precisely, "free" from taxes. This resulted in the peculiar composition of the castle population, the vast majority of which was not made up of soldiers, but of free citizens. The internal spaces, however, were not organized according to a typical urban plan: there was no real square and the most important buildings were distributed along the main road or even set back, as in the case of the church (at the time subordinate to the older Pieve Nuova, in the current Borgo Pieve), the accounting office and the infirmary.

Main sights
The older part of the town is square, surrounded by medieval walls and towers constructed by the people of Treviso in 1211 (see Cittadella).

Castelfranco Veneto was the birthplace of the painter Giorgione, and the cathedral, named il Duomo (1723), located inside the walls, contains one of his finest works, the Madonna with St. Francis and Liberalis (1504), but more commonly called Pala del Giorgione. In the background, the towers of the old town may be seen. The painting was being restored in Venice, Italy; however, ceremonies were held for the return of 'La Pala' near the end of 2005.

The cathedral itself was designed by Francesco Maria Preti, over an ancient Romanesque church. Other artpieces include seven fragments of frescoes by Paolo Veronese.

Transport
Castelfranco Veneto railway station, opened in 1877, is a junction of three railway lines, the Trento–Venice railway, the Vicenza–Treviso railway and the Calalzo–Padua railway, respectively. As such, it is one of the busiest railway junctions in Veneto.

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Deletion review nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Merge — 4 votes keep, 3 votes delete, 1 vote merge — as merge was suggested by other voters as a possible way forward, this article is to be merged as the first part of list of Megaman weapons — as was rightly pointed out, under WP:FICT this is a minor 'character'. As there is no, one suitable article to merge it with, it should go in a list with other such objects. --Gareth Hughes 21:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

And I'm still working on it, and I plan to merge it with the Megaman Zero and X articles respectively. I mean we can have an article on Buster sword and Ragnorok, but no Z-saber?

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload

Zacco family

The Zacco family originated from Spain, where they are first recorded in when Stefano Zacco was a councillor of King Alfonso II of Aragon in the 12th century.

When Sicily became subject to Aragonese rule in 1282, following the Sicilian Vespers,  the Zacco family arrived with King Peter I, various branches of the family were soon established in the principal cities of Sicily - Palermo, Modica, Lentini and Siracusa. Members of the Zacco family were active in the higher echelons of Sicilian society in the roles of Governors, the Church, the military, and the magistracy.

The Palazzo Zacco, an important example of Sicilian Baroque, in Ragusa was purchased from the Melfi family by a branch of the Zacco family in the late 18th century. By 1848 the family were probably extinct, as they are no longer listed in the "Sicilian Golden Book of Nobility" (Libro d'Oro).

Fair use rationale for Image:Wtvt fox13 tampabay.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Wtvt fox13 tampabay.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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

Fair use rationale for Image:620wdae.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:620wdae.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Thanks for uploading File:FOX sports radio final.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Talk:After-action review

there are after action reviews that take place in Knowledge management circles as well. maybe expand this topic to include it? www.signetconsulting.com is a good source of info on non-military before and after action reviews.

Anglicisms
There was a comment on the page to the effect that spellings should be left British and not American English and referring editors to discussion here. Removed, as there is no actual discussion here, and it seems bizarre that a US Army practice should only be discussed using British English. -218.1.113.253 (talk) 03:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Formal vs. Informal
Based on http://www.armystudyguide.com/content/bm~doc/the-after-action-review-p.ppt it appears that the distinction between formal and informal AARs has been dropped:

 * Experience in the employment of AAR has resulted in the recommendation that the terms Formal and Informal AAR be dropped from the terminology of this subject. It was found that the distinctions that were made between both types of AAR were misleading and caused confusion.

AAR will not be identified by type. The duration and resources allocated to an AAR will be based on the complexity of the learning objectives to be addressed, the size of the audience and the time and resources available

This section should be edited to reflect this change.

Merge discussion
Suggest to merge with After Action Report. As these two are used synonymously in most circles, one article would be better suited. Chairborneranger (talk) 17:49, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I agree they should be combined. Some experts on After Action Reviews suggest using the term Report moves away from the spirit of an after action which should be tightly focused on improving team processes rather than creating a report to sit on a shelf with little benefit (see https://hbr.org/2023/01/a-better-approach-to-after-action-reviews).

Cerignola

Cerignola (Ceregnòule ) is a town and comune of Apulia, Italy, in the province of Foggia, 40 km southeast from the town of Foggia. It has the third-largest land area of any comune in Italy, at 593.71 km2, after Rome and Ravenna and it has the largest land area of any comune in Italy among those that are not the provincial capital. In 2017, it had a population of 58,534.

Geography
The large municipality is located in the Valley of Ofanto, a strip of land that runs alongside the homonymous river delimiting the southern edge of the Tavoliere Tavoliere. Cerignola is situated in south of the province of Foggia, and spans from the Salt Marshes of Margherita di Savoia to the borders with Basilicata region. It borders with Ascoli Satriano, Canosa di Puglia, Carapelle, Lavello, Manfredonia, Ordona, Orta Nova, San Ferdinando di Puglia, Stornara, Stornarella, Trinitapoli and Zapponeta.

Cerignola is the second biggest town of Capitanata for its number of inhabitants as well as for being the largest agriculture centre in its province.

History
Cerignola occupies the site of Furfane, a station on the ancient Roman Via Traiana between Canusium and Herdoniae.

It was a municipium during the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, as part of the Kingdom of Naples, in 1418 it became a fief of the Caracciolo family.

In 1503 the Spaniards under Gonzalo de Córdoba defeated the French under Louis d'Armagnac (6th Duke of Nemours) below the town, a victory which ensured Spain the rule over the kingdom of Naples (see battle of Cerignola) and is considered the first battle whose outcome was determined by gunpowder.

In 17th century the fief passed to the Pignatelli family. Cerignola was rebuilt after a great earthquake in 1731. In the 19th century, after the reclamation of its territory, it has been home to a considerable agricultural production.

Main sights

 * The Cathedral
 * The Chiesa Madre of St. Francis of Assisi (11th-12th centuries)
 * Torre Alemanna (13th century), in the frazione Borgo Libertà
 * Church of Beata Vergine del Monte Carmelo (16th century)
 * Palazzo Cirillo-Farrusi
 * Piano delle Fosse del Grano

Cuisine
The Italian wine DOC of Rosso di Cerignola is designated for red wine production only. Grapes are limited to a harvest yield of 14 tonnes/ha with the finished wine required to have at least 12% alcohol. The wine is a blend of at least 55% Uva di Troia, 15-30% Negroamaro, and up to 15% of an assortment of Sangiovese, Barbera, Montepulciano, Malbec and Trebbiano. If the wine is labeled as Riserva then the wine must have been aged at least two years in oak barrels/wood with a minimum alcohol level of 13%.

Transportation
Cerignola has a station, Cerignola Campagna, on the Pescara-Bari main railroad (Adriatic railway), served by regional trains. From 1891 to 1956, it was the terminus of a short line to the city centre (Cerignola Città station).

It has also an exit ("Cerignola Est") on the A14 motorway Bologna-Taranto, and one ("Cerignola Ovest") on the A16 motorway Naples-Canosa. Provincial roads connect it to the main centre in the region as well.

Public bus service in the town is provided by STUC company.

Notable people

 * Nicola Zingarelli, philologist, founder of the Zingarelli Italian dictionary
 * Giuseppe Di Vittorio, syndicalist

Sport
The local football team is the Audace Cerignola, and its home ground is the Domenico Monterisi Stadium.

International relations
Cerignola is twinned with:
 * 🇮🇹 Vizzini, Italy
 * 🇪🇸 Montilla, Spain
 * 🇫🇷 Nemours, France
