Okinawan kobudō

Okinawan Kobudō (沖縄古武道), literally "old martial way of Okinawa", is the weapon systems of Okinawan martial arts.

Etymology and definition
Okinawan Kobudō is a Japanese term that can be translated as "old martial way of Okinawa". It is a generic term coined in the twentieth century.

Okinawan kobudō refers to the weapon systems of Okinawan martial arts. These systems can have from one to as many as a dozen weapons in their curriculum, among them kon (six foot staff), sai (three-pronged truncheon), tonfa (handled club), kama (sickle), and nunchaku (two rope- or chain-connected sticks), but also the tekko (knuckledusters), tinbe-rochin (shield and spear), and surujin (weighted chain). Less common Okinawan weapons include the tambo (short stick), the hanbō (middle length staff) and the eku (boat oar of traditional Okinawan design).

Okinawan kobudō is distinguished from the general term kobudō, which refers to all Japanese martial arts that predate the Meiji Restoration.

History
It is a popular story and common belief that Okinawan farming tools evolved into weapons due to restrictions placed upon the peasants by the Satsuma samurai clan when the island was made a part of Japan, which forbade them from carrying arms. As a result, it is said, they were defenseless and developed a fighting system around their traditional farming implements. However, modern martial arts scholars have been unable to find historical backing for this story, and the evidence uncovered by various martial historians points to the Pechin Warrior caste in Okinawa as being those who practiced and studied various martial arts, rather than the Heimin, or commoner. It is true that Okinawans, under the rule of foreign powers, were prohibited from carrying weapons or practicing with them in public. But the weapons-based fighting that they secretly practiced (and the types of weapons they practiced with) had strong Chinese roots, and examples of similar weapons have been found in China, Thailand and Indonesia pre-dating the Okinawan adaptations.

Okinawan kobudō systems were shaped by indigenous Okinawan techniques that arose within the Aji, or noble class, and by imported methods from China and Southeast Asia. The majority of Okinawan kobudō traditions that survived the difficult times during and following World War II were preserved and handed down by Taira Shinken (Ryūkyū Kobudō Hozon Shinkokai), Chogi Kishaba (Ryūkyū Bujustsu Kenkyu Doyukai), and Kenwa Mabuni (Shito-ryū). Practical systems were developed by Toshihiro Oshiro and Motokatsu Inoue in conjunction with these masters. Other noted masters who have Okinawan kobudō kata named after them include Chōtoku Kyan, Shigeru Nakamura, Kanga Sakukawa, and Shinko Matayoshi.

Okinawan kobudō arts are thought by some to be the forerunner of the bare hand martial art of karate, and several styles of that art include some degree of Okinawan kobudō training as part of their curriculum. Similarly, it is not uncommon to see an occasional kick or other empty-hand technique in an Okinawan kobudō kata. The techniques of the two arts are closely related in some styles, evidenced by the empty-hand and weapon variants of certain kata: for example, Kankū-dai and Kankū-sai, and Gojūshiho and Gojūshiho-no-sai, although these are examples of Okinawan kobudō kata which have been developed from karate kata and are not traditional Okinawan kobudō forms. Other more authentic Okinawan kobudō kata demonstrate elements of empty hand techniques as is shown in older forms such as Soeishi No Dai, a bo form which is one of the few authentic Okinawan kobudō kata to make use of a kick as the penultimate technique. Some Okinawan kobudō kata have undergone less "modern development" than karate and still retain much more of the original elements, reflections of which can be seen in even more modern karate kata. The connection between empty hand and weapon methods can be directly related in systems such as that formulated in order to preserve both arts such as Inoue/Taira's Ryūkyū Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai and Motokatsu Inoue's Yuishinkai Karate Jutsu. M. Inoue draws direct comparisons between the use of certain weapons and various elements of empty hand technique such as sai mirroring haito/shuto waza, tonfa reflecting that of uraken and hijiate, and kama of kurite and kakete, as examples. The footwork in both methods is interchangeable.

Weapons and kata
Okinawan kobudō was at its peak some 100 years ago and of all the authentic Okinawan kobudō kata practiced at this time, only relatively few, by comparison, remain extant. In the early 20th century, a decline in the study of Ryūkyū kobujutsu (as it was known then) meant that the future of this martial tradition was in danger. During the Taishō period (1912–1926) some martial arts exponents such as Yabiku Moden made great inroads in securing the future of Ryūkyū kobujutsu. Many of the forms that are still known are due to the efforts of Taira Shinken who travelled around the Ryūkyū Islands in the early part of the 20th century and compiled 42 existing kata, covering various types of Okinawan weapons. Whilst Taira Shinken may not have been able to collect all extant Okinawan kobudō kata, those he did manage to preserve are listed here. They do not include all those from the Matayoshi, Uhuchiku and Yamanni streams however.

Bō
The bō is a six-foot long staff, sometimes tapered at either end. It was perhaps developed from a farming tool called a tenbin: a stick placed across the shoulders with baskets or sacks hanging from either end. The bo was also possibly used as the handle to a rake or a shovel. The bo, along with shorter variations such as the jo and hanbō could also have been developed from walking sticks used by travelers, especially monks. The bo is considered the 'king' of the Okinawa weapons, as all others exploit its weaknesses in fighting it. The bo is the earliest of all Okinawan weapons (and effectively one of the earliest of all weapons in the form of a basic staff), and is traditionally made from red or white oak.

 * Shishi No Kun (or Shushi No Kon)
 * Ufugusuku

Sai
The sai is a three-pronged hitting weapon designated as a truncheon, sometimes mistakenly believed to be a variation on a small, hand-held rake; a tool used to create furrows in the ground. This is highly unlikely as metal on Okinawa was in short supply at this time and a stick would have served this purpose more satisfactorily for a poor commoner, or Heimin. The sai appears similar to a short sword, which is sharp at the end but is not bladed. The weapon is metal and of the truncheon class with its length dependent upon the forearm of the user. The two shorter prongs on either side of the main prong are used for trapping (and sometimes breaking) other weapons such as a sword or bo. A form known as nunti sai, sometimes called manji sai (due to its appearance resembling the swastika kanji) has the two shorter prongs pointed in opposite directions.

Tonfa
The tonfa may have originated as the handle of a millstone used for grinding grain. It is traditionally made from red oak, and can be gripped by the short perpendicular handle or by the longer main shaft. As with all Okinawan weapons, many of the forms are reflective of "empty hand" techniques. The tonfa is more readily recognized by its modern development in the form of the side-handle police baton, but many traditional tonfa techniques differ from side-handle baton techniques. For example, tonfa are often used in pairs, while side-handle batons generally are not.

Kama
The kama is a traditional farming sickle, and considered one of the hardest to learn due to the inherent danger in practicing with such a weapon. The point at which the blade and handle join in the "weapon" model normally has a nook with which a bo can be trapped, although this joint proved to be a weak point in the design, and modern day examples tend to have a shorter handle with a blade that begins following the line of the handle and then bends, though to a lesser degree; this form of the kama is known as the natagama. The edge of a traditional rice sickle, such as one would purchase from a Japanese hardware store, continues to the handle without a notch, as this is not needed for its intended use.

Nunchaku
A nunchaku is two sections of wood (or metal in modern incarnations) connected by a cord or chain. There is much controversy over its origins: some say it was originally a Chinese weapon, others say it evolved from a threshing flail, while one theory purports that it was developed from a horse's bit. Chinese nunchaku tend to be rounded, whereas Okinawan ones are octagonal, and they were originally linked by horse hair. There are many variations on the nunchaku, ranging from the three sectional staff (san-setsu-kon, mentioned later in this article), to smaller multi-section nunchaku. The nunchaku was popularized by Bruce Lee in a number of films, made in both Hollywood and Hong Kong. This weapon is illegal in Canada, Australia (unless a permit is held) and parts of Europe.

Eku
The Okinawan style of oar is called an eku (this actually refers to the local wood most commonly used for oars), eiku, iyeku, or ieku. Noteworthy hallmarks are the slight point at the tip, curve to one side of the paddle and a roof-like ridge along the other. One of the basic moves for this weapon utilizes the fact that a fisherman fighting on the beach would be able to fling sand at an opponent. While not having the length, and therefore reach, of the bō, the rather sharp edges can inflict more penetrating damage when wielded properly.

 * Tsuken Akachu No Eiku De (Also called as Chikin Akachu No Eiku De)

Tinbe-rochin
The tinbe-rochin consists of a shield and spear. It is one of the least known Okinawan weapons. The tinbe (shield) can be made of various materials but is commonly found in vine or cane, metal, or archetypically, from a turtle shell (historically, the Ryūkyū Islands' primary source of food, fishing, provided a reliable supply of turtle shells). The shield size is generally about 45 cm long and 38 cm wide. The rochin (short spear) is cut with the length of the shaft being the same distance as the forearm to the elbow if it is being held in the hand. The spearhead then protrudes from the shaft and can be found in many differing designs varying from spears to short swords and machete-style implements.

Sansetsukon
The sansetsukon is similar to a nunchaku, but has three sections of wood (or metal in modern incarnations) connected by a cord or chain.

Kuwa
The hoe is common in all agrarian societies; in Okinawa, the kuwa has been also used as a weapon for as long as there have been farmers. Compared to garden-variety hoes, the handle tends to be thicker and usually shorter, both due to Okinawan stature, and the fact that much of the agriculture takes place on hillsides where long handles would be a hindrance. A classic shape of blade is a simple rectangle of steel with a sharp leading edge, but may also be forked with tines.

 * Kata Matayoshi No Kuwa Nu De

Tekko
The tekko or tecchu is a form of knuckleduster, and primarily takes its main form of usage from that of empty-hand technique, whilst also introducing slashing movements. The tekko is usually made to the width of the hand with anything between one and three protruding points on the knuckle front with protruding points at the top and the bottom of the knuckle. They can be made of any hard material but are predominantly found in aluminium, iron, steel, or wood.

Suruchin
The suruchin consists of a weighted chain or leather cord and can be found in two kinds: 'tan suruchin' (short) and 'naga suruchin' (long). The lengths are about 150–152 cm and 230–240 cm respectively. It is a weapon which can be easily hidden prior to use, and due to this fact can be devastatingly effective. In the modern era, found with a bladed instrument at one end and a weight at the other, the surujin techniques are very similar to those of the Meteor Hammer or Rope Dart. Leather cords are used for practice or kumite, whereas chains are favored for demonstration, but rope (most commonly of hemp) was the original material used.

 * Nagai Kusari, Mijikai Kusari
 * Matayoshi Kobudō: Suruchin no Toseki

Nunti Bo
The Nunti Bō (貫手棒, lit. "Piercing-Hands Bō") is similar to a spear, but typically composed of a bo with a manji-shaped sai mounted on the end. Similar to the trident and the trishula.

 * Kata Nunti Sho, Kata Nunti Dai

Tambo
The tambo, sometimes spelled tanbo, is a short staff (compared to a bo, or a hambo) made of hardwood or bamboo. Its length is determined by measuring from the tip of the elbow to the wrist. Tambo can be used in pairs.

Hanbō
The hanbō is a middle length wood or bamboo stick, used for striking and joint locking techs. It measures about 90 cm, or can be made taking into account the length from the hip to the ankle.

Comparison of Okinawan kobudō styles
This table compares styles of Okinawan kobudō. The weapons practiced by each style are listed. The styles listed below may practice strictly weapons, or may practice another martial arts (usually karate) as well.

Generally, weapons systems are not automatically formalized as karate systems. Some karate systems include weapons standard in their curriculum, while others may offer weapons training optionally. Some individual schools may teach additional weapons not necessarily taught by others in their system.

Although many karate systems do not include weapons, individual schools may choose to teach Okinawan kobudō. These karate systems may or may not be listed here.

Talk:Monads

This is written from very, very, very limited exposure to Monads whilst involved with Pugs. Much rewrite/cleanup would be good!

From the article:

 * A function ("bind") is required that takes:
 * A monad containing type A
 * A function that converts from a type A, to a monad of type B and returns a monad of type B.

This looks like a special case of faulty parallels ("returns a monad of type B" would seem to pertain to "A function that converts..." --22:50, 9 January 2006 (UTC)), but there's no obvious way to fix it. Anybody else care to? --Ihope127 22:48, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

BrokenSegue removed the links to the Commons at the bottom of this template. I restored them. My rationale is: --Eloquence* 22:19, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Both Commons and English Wikipedia are Wikimedia projects. We promote these projects constantly through sister project templates. Since a sister project template is not appropriate on the pages where this template is used, these navigational links make sense.
 * The Wikimedia Commons is particularly important to promote, as we want to encourage uploading and nominating free content on the Commons. The Commons is also frequently cited in FPC discussions, so it's good to have handy links clearly visible at the top of the page.
 * English is the main language used in FPC discussions on the Commons. That means there's a natural interest of people working on the English Wikipedia to also look at the featured pictures on Commons. These links are convenient for people for whom Commons is part of their "wikiflow".
 * this last compromise is fine. Broken S 01:55, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Eight months went by and nothing happened on this front, so I've redirected the article to the article on Microsoft's Small Business Server product. Warrens 06:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Novell Small Business Server should not be redirected to Microsoft Small Business Server
However the information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetWare#NetWare_4.1x_and_NetWare_for_Small_Business:_Novell_begins_to_recover AND Windows Small Business Server are not very accurate either. The install disks for the products say Novell Small Business Server versions 4.1, 4.11, 5.0, and 5.1 which became Small Business Suite 6.0 and 6.5. Although Microsoft BackOffice Server predates Novell Small Business Server, the bundle discount pricing of the Microsoft Small Business BackOffice Server offering is modeled on the Novell package.

Expatriates
Thank you for your message, but please use the user talk page in future - that is what it is there for. I did not say that Third Culture Kid was a silly definition, I said it was a silly term. I am familiar with the 'I-Don't-Know-Where-Home-Is' thing, and long after I came back to the UK for good, people still thought I sounded Australian, but too much navel-gazing is unhealthy, and adults who still go in for it need to grow up. For expatriate children of mixed marriages, the situation is a bit more complicated, but most of them I know tend to have settled into life in North America, Western Europe, and Australasia.

Hi, and welcome. I noticed you moved Bill Clinton to William clinton. Please take a look at Naming conventions for some information on how we name articles. In general, the most common name for something or someone is used, which is why the article is at Bill Clinton (I moved it back). Also, as it is a proper name, both the first name and the surname should be capitalized. In general, it's a good idea to at lease propose the potential move on the talk page first—especially for popular pages or for potentially controversial changes. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ 06:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Ogrodywilanow.jpg
Hello and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted images or content without a clear license that gives explicit permission to do so. The images you have uploaded for Wilanow will be deleted, unless you can provide information that allows them to be displayed.

 * Hi Vegalabs. The email or the question to Wilanow should ask very specifically if their images may be used on Wikipedia. You should state for which articles they should be used and for what purpose. Normally by pointing out to the owner that it will only be used for encyclopedic purposes should not be a problem, but that can vary. What is important is that the owners have to specifically state under which license they are willing to release the picture. Is it still copyrighted, a free license, GNU, etc...? It is probably best to insert into the image page as well the correspondence that you wrote and the permission that you received, should anyone be in doubt. I would recommend that you take a look at Image copyright tags to inform yourself of the various licences, if you haven't done so already. Wikipedia has to have a strict rule on images from other websites, otherwise we could get legal trouble and we need to avoid that under all circumstances. If you have any further questions or are in doubt, feel free to ask. with kind regards Gryffindor  22:18, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Neo-Renaissance
Hi, thanks for your message at Talk: Nei-Renaissance. I would like to use your picture of the staircase. Can you tell me who designed it, and when. Has iy always been in a glazed courtyard etc. The glazed courtyard may be of importance later in the page, if it has always been glazed over. Would you prepared to upload some of the images of the courtyard to commons? Thanks for your help so far. Giano | talk 17:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks i was working on the page when you left your message so the architects have gone straigt in. I'm pretty sure that the courtyard was always glazed too, but it would be good to have it confirmed, before someone points out the error on the FAC page!  There is a lot more work to do ther so far, and I hope to start the paragraphs on the glazed courtyards soon. Thanks a lot. Regards Giano | talk 07:41, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Foo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Foo.png. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 00:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Libeskind gw.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Libeskind gw.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

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.

File source problem with File:Oswiecim-urzad.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Oswiecim-urzad.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Samantha Beckinsale

Samantha-Jane Beckinsale (born 23 July 1966), known professionally as Samantha Beckinsale and Sam Beckinsale, is a British actress. She played firefighter Kate Stevens in London's Burning.

Early life
Beckinsale is the only daughter of actor Richard Beckinsale and his first wife, Margaret ( Bradley). They divorced when Beckinsale was a young child and she did not see her father for years. Samantha was unaware that her father was Richard Beckinsale until she was 11 – the same year he married actress Judy Loe. Beckinsale and her father reconnected and spent time together, before his death in 1979. She is half-sister of Kate Beckinsale, her father's daughter with Loe. She studied drama at Clarendon College, Nottingham.

Television
In 1990, Beckinsale was chosen by LWT to play firefighter Kate Stevens in ITV's drama series London's Burning, which ran from 1986 to 2002. In 1989, Beckinsale guest-starred as WPC Martin in an episode of Thames Television's Never the Twain. Shortly after this, she was given the role of Lesley in the final three series of Thames Television's Shelley. In 1994, she was chosen by LWT to play the role of Gillian in the sitcom Time After Time which lasted two series.

In 1997, Beckinsale starred as Jilly Howell in the short-lived sitcom Get Well Soon and in 1998 she was chosen by LWT to play the role of Gillian Monroe in the short-lived sitcom Duck Patrol with Richard Wilson.

Personal life
In 2022, Beckinsale came forward as a survivor of domestic abuse. She is a patron of the Broxtowe Women's Project, which offers support for women suffering from domestic abuse. She wrote and produced a docudrama titled Love? which deals with coercive control in relationships.

Opening comments
I tried to fix up the grammar and make the sentences more clear. Is copyedit still needed? The pi pirate 03:17, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. I made a couple of very pedantic changes and deleted the tag. Kcordina 15:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Importance and accuracy
I believe that this is simply a dic def. Soft count is the process of collecting and counting paper currency. This is the opposite of hard which involves coins and metal tokens. So unless there is something I'm missing I'll likely tag this for AfD. I would do a transwiki but I don't believe the current content is correct or worth keeping. Vegaswikian 07:08, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * With the other changes, the importance may have been established so I'm pulling that tag. It would still be nice to get a source or two to support the facts.  Vegaswikian 18:38, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Schempp-Hirth Mini-Nimbus

The Schempp-Hirth Mini Nimbus is a 15 Metre-class glider designed and built by Schempp-Hirth GmbH in the late 1970s.

Design and development
In designing the Mini-Nimbus, Klaus Holighaus incorporated the flapped wings from the Glasflügel 303 Mosquito, with the fuselage of the Standard Cirrus. The wings feature trailing edge terminal speed dive brakes-variable camber flaps that limit the vertical dive speed to a maximum of 70 knots when the dive brakes are fully deployed.

The name "Mini Nimbus" was adopted to distinguish it from longer-wingspan Nimbus models. It first flew on 18 September 1976.

The Mini Nimbus range all feature self-connecting controls, of Glasflügel design, for added safety and ease of rigging, and have been incorporated in all newer Schempp-Hirth models. The trim lever is connected to the flap operating rod and needs to be set only once per flight; thereafter changes in flap setting (-7 to +10 degrees) automatically provides trim compensation.

Variants
Based on the Standard Cirrus, the original Mini-Nimbus HS-7 design had an all-moving tailplane and fibre glass wing spars. A tailplane anti-balance tab was a required modification for certification in the United Kingdom after flight testing by Derek Piggott on behalf of the British Gliding Association revealed very low stick forces and marginal pitch stability of the HS-7 version. A conventional tail was added for the Mini-Nimbus B version. The conventional horizontal stabiliser/elevator configuration was less sensitive to inputs by the pilot making it easier to fly without constantly making small adjustments to the pitch attitude. This was due to the much larger control surface of the former compared to the later configuration.

The Mini-Nimbus C version had an increased maximum takeoff weight. Additionally, lighter weight wings with spars and shells of carbon-fibre was available as an option for the C version (meaning that only some Mini Nimbus C has carbon fibre wings, the "C" is often thought to represent "Carbon" which is not correct).

The Nimbus 2C and the Mini Nimbus C were the first two carbon-fibre aircraft to be built by Schempp-Hirth. The use of carbon-fibre significantly lightened the Mini Nimbus improving its climbing performance and increasing water ballast capacity while making assembly and disassembly much easier.

Performance
The Mini-Nimbus glide ratio was somewhat less competitive than its primary rival in sailplane race competitions, the Alexander Schleicher ASW 20. However its superior climbing performance (altitude gained over time while climbing in lifting air) over its rivals made it the choice of some successful international soaring competition pilots in the late 1970s.

One capability of the Mini Nimbus is its powerful trailing-edge integrated air brake/flap system with a 70 kn terminal dive velocity which gives the aircraft strong short field and steep landing approach capabilities.

Production
159 Mini-Nimbuses were built, many of which remain in use today.

Competition use
George Moffat won the 1977 European Gliding Championships flying a Mini Nimbus and flew a Mini Nimbus C in the US 15-Meter Gliding Championships. While no longer considered competitive in the 15-meter class, the Mini Nimbus still competes in the Sports Class of sailplane racing where handicaps are allowed in scoring.

Talk:Liverpool Central railway station

Future

 * http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=4295980&postcount=1

Apparently planning permission is in to redevelop central station in a rather large way.--Son of Paddy's Ego 22:24, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Beeching axe (as usual) is blamed for the rationalisation of the station in the 60s. This was actually part of a long-term strategy for the concentration of traffic into a single station in each city where possible. Will change if no-one objects. To be honest, this is a policy that, whilst it may have upset train buffs, was actually welcomed by the public who no longer had to ride taxis across city centres to change trains.

Exile 12:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * This is a good point. Are there any on-line references to this point - anyone? Was the removal of the Merseyside terminal buildings a coincidence after the Beeching Plan?  79.65.49.116 (talk) 11:29, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Ticket Barriers
The assertion that Liverpool Central is one of Six Stations on the Network with Barriers? At my last count it was at least 9: Southport, Moorfields, Liverpool Lime Street, Liverpool Central, Liverpool James Street, Liverpool South Parkway, Hamilton Square, Conway Park and Chester. I have ammended the page accordingly. 86.10.190.227 (talk) 20:24, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Top Image
The top image is very 'old school' and would be more appropriate is the station was closed? But as an open station would an image of the actual station/current signage not be more appropriate? --Smeowrend (talk) 13:07, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * If a more general image of the station (which is free and up-to-date) can be found that would be ideal, but for now I've reverted to the previous image, as it's preferable to the 'old school' sign. Mato (talk) 01:16, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Improvements completed
The Northern line work has been completed and the station is now fully open. However, the promised new passenger lift never materialised. Should the section not mention this missing improvement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.26.163.247 (talk) 06:30, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Passenger Numbers
Unless I'm misreading it, the panel on the right states that passenger numbers at Central were under 1 million per year in 2004, but had risen to nearly 18 million by 2010. Can that possibly be correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.253.152.219 (talk) 13:25, 31 January 2013 (UTC) Oops, wasn't signed in. That comment was mine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phil2415 (talk • contribs) 13:29, 31 January 2013

Talk:ID

Ad 'Id', 'id', 'ID', 'Identity':

I have read a lot of Sigmund Freud in German laguage: this special wikipedia article is in error of application to the very term 'id' for Freud's 'it'. - Freud referred to the 'it" (in German: 'es' - for sex desire, hunger, thirst, agression, fear, the unconscious) - Freud did NOT refer to the human identity with the German term 'es' - English: 'it'. The human 'identity' - abbreviated Id, id, ID is a later term - maybe even after Freud's time. The human identity (Id, id, ID) takes a lot more than the 'it' (German: 'es') and is not a fixed product: our human ego is changeable. The human ego - the human identity - functions by the complex human 'triune brain': the 'it' (German: 'es') functions by the 'reptiloid brain' as one of theree parts within the human mammal ' triune brain'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Intelligencescout (talk • contribs) 07:20, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Interaction Design
The Interaction Design page does not mention the abbreviation, instead trying to propose the IxD abbreviation standard. However, in practice I have seen ID used as well. Even one of the Interaction Design external links uses the abbreviation: #4 http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/introducing_interaction_design.
