Bobby Hillin Jr.

Robert "Bobby" Keith Hillin Jr. (born June 5, 1964) is an American stock car racing driver. He is a former competitor in NASCAR's Winston Cup and Busch Series, and once held the record for being the youngest driver ever to win a Winston Cup Series event.

Racing career
Born in Midland, Texas, Hillin began his career in racing by watching his father's IndyCar team, Longhorn Racing, compete in United States Auto Club-sanctioned sprint car racing and IndyCar events. An all-district linebacker in high school, he began his stock car career at the age of 13 and soon after won the track championship at Odessa Speedbowl in Odessa, Texas, and attended the Buck Baker Driving School at the age of 16.

Hillin made his debut in NASCAR Winston Cup Series competition at the age of 17, driving a car owned and sponsored by his family and crewed by Harry Hyde in the 1982 Northwestern Bank 400 at North Wilkesboro Speedway to a 21st-place finish. Hillin moved to North Carolina to further his career, continuing his education through correspondence courses; he graduated from high school the day before the 1983 Coca-Cola World 600; in 1984 he joined Stavola Brothers Racing, and in 1986 became the youngest winner in NASCAR's "modern era" when he won the Talladega 500 for the team, at the age of 22 years, 1 month and 22 days.

Despite the win, and two wins in the NASCAR Busch Series in 1988 and 1989 driving for Highline Racing, Hillin's career took a downturn; he would later say he was not mature enough to deal with the pressures of being a NASCAR winner. He left the Stavola Brothers team after the 1990 season; he started the 1991 season qualifying a backup car for Moroso Racing fastest in third-round time trials for the Daytona 500. A seventh-place finish in the 500 won Hillin the team's regular ride, however after ten races a lack of sponsorship forced the team to cut back its schedule, and Hillin was released; After two races with Jimmy Means Racing, Hillin was named as substitute driver for Kyle Petty, who had broken his leg earlier in the year in a wreck at Talladega; he drove eight races in the Team SABCO No. 42 before Petty returned.

Hillin then joined Team Ireland late in the 1991 season, and then for a partial season in 1992. When the team closed late in 1992 after being disqualified at the October Charlotte race, Hillin moved to Donlavey Racing, running the full 1993 season for the team. After three races in 1994, Hillin resigned from the team; Hillin ran a partial schedule the rest of the year for Charles Hardy Racing and Moroso Racing, then attempted two races early in 1995 for Moroso, before joining Jasper Motorsports twelve races into the 1995 season, replacing Davy Jones. Hillin remained with the team through 1996 and into 1997. Hillin also competed in the Suzuka Thunder Special, an exhibition race held at Suzuka Circuit in Japan following the 1996 season; he finished seventh in the event. He was released from the team after failing to qualify for the 1997 Coca-Cola 600; he continued to drive for the team through the Pocono 500 before being replaced by Morgan Shepherd. Later that year Hillin attempted three races for Triad Motorsports, failing to qualify for any; he would only drive one further Winston Cup race in his career, at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2000 for Melling Racing, substituting for an injured Stacy Compton.

Hillin restarted his own Busch Series team for the 1998 season, including five Major League Baseball players in the team's ownership; the team underperformed, and after the 2000 season he chose to go into semi-retirement, having decided to go into business in his native Texas. In 2008 Hillin returned briefly to competition, driving at Kansas Speedway in the Nationwide Series for MacDonald Motorsports; he drove one additional race for the team in the series at Texas Motor Speedway in 2009, but then retired for good from the sport.

Personal life
Hillin is married to Jamie Patterson of Austin, Texas. He is currently the CEO of T-Rex Engineering & Construction, providing services to the Gulf of Mexico's oil drilling industry.

Hillin's oldest son, Luke Hillin, is Director of Operations for Men's Basketball at Texas A&M University. Luke Hillin resides in College Station, Texas with his wife, Maddie Hillin, and their two children, Charlotte Hillin and Walker Hillin.

Hillin’s daughter, Stephanie Hillin, graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in 2017 and thereafter earned her Juris Doctor degree in 2019. Stephanie Hillin resides in Houston, Texas.

Hillin's youngest son, Joseph Hillin, is a decorated graduate of The University of Georgia and is a stud analyst. Joseph Hillin resides in Dallas, Texas.

84.9.17.244 14:51, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I was the one who added PinkFootball.com. I just wanted to let you know that I am not associated with the pinkfootball site at all, just simply a fan.

As a girl into football, I like its slightly more female friendly content, although I do agree on your comments that it's content is mainly a rehash of many other sources (aren't most of them though?), I use it alot and so do many of my girl friends. I find the male centric attitude around football and reporting very wearysome and its refreshing to have a site with such a female focus especially with the reporting on the woman's game which is hardly represented elsewhere.

The reason I contributed in the first place is because I'm studying digital media in London, and one of our essays is about online communities. For this is decided to try to contribute to wikipedia adding my favourite football news site. I dont mind you removing the link, I just wanted to let you know the circumstances rather than blaming the site itself for the edit. In fact, your actions have given me an interesting level for my essay.

Lisa

PS: I hope i've correctly used your talk page. Appologies in advance if i haven't.

 * I've replied on your talk page, Lisa, but as you've just got an IP rather than an account, it's possible that you'll miss it if you have a dynamic IP, so I'll paste my response here too.

 * Hi. Thanks for your message. I'm sorry if my assumption that you were acting on behalf of pinkfootball.com caused any offence, and I hope I wasn't rude or heavy handed in the way in which I deleted the links.

 * You do, of course, have the option to re-add the link in the articles if you feel that it adds something that the other linked sites don't. In terms of the Liverpool one, I'd suggest that it probably doesn't, as the others tend to include a lot more original reporting/behind the scenes gossip, rather than linking to news stories. I can't say for sure with the links for the other clubs, but I'd imagine they are similar.

 * I suppose you could also start a Wikipedia article about Pinkfootball.com itself, and explain about the difference in focus.

 * Good luck with your essay. Although I'm only relatively new to Wikipedia myself, feel free to ask any questions that will help. I also hope you choose to continue to improve Wikipedia after you've finished your essay. KeithD 15:21, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

I redir'd that article through IAR, as I feel it is a better way to remove vanity then VFD.

Up Versus down "Peg" Spectrum Copyright
Hi, Keith

I claim no copyright on the up vs down page; so, you may use it wih\thout fear of violation. (Unsigned comment by User:4.245.115.188

 * Will take a look at the copyright process in a little while, and sort it out. Thanks. KeithD (talk) 10:19, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I wish to challenge the claim of "copyright violation" which someone has caused for my vertical spectrum graph not be shown or linked. Who other than myself claims to have the copyright on my work?? ewillers@Laissez-FaireRepublic.com (Unsigned comment by User:207.67.144.50).

 * I emailed that email address last Friday (19th August) for confirmation that copyright is granted. I received no response. I'll re-send the email to allow you to reply to that email directly. As I'm sure you're aware, someone claiming to be the copyright holder here isn't necessarily proof that they are the copyright holder. By replying directly to the email, it allows you to prove that you are the copyright holder. KeithD (talk) 10:18, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The email was replied to, asserting that permission was granted. I'll sort out the next step from here. KeithD (talk) 10:48, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Sausage Making & Meat Curing
I was in the process of writing something for these stubs when you deleted it. Please review now.

Terrell

 * The content of article on sausage making should probably be moved to Wikibooks, and then the article itself redirected to sausages. Also, the recipes are a possible copyright violation, as they're derived from a cookbook.

 * The article on meat curing I've redirected to the existing article on curing. KeithD (talk) 11:47, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi
Thanks for reverting the wheel vandalism of my talk page. And, by the way, a friend of mine from trans-Caucasia has one Armenian and one Azerbaijani parent. He's interested in reconciliation between the two nations. Shall I put you two in touch? Uncle Ed 19:43, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * You're welcome.

 * I'm not sure why you're telling me about your friend though. Because I voted on the VfD for Armenian Genocide resources? I don't have any particular interest in the topic, I just saw it mentioned on the list of VfD topics, and corrected the spelling from 'ressources' to resources'.

VfD on Aloysia Weber
Hi Keith. Please consider checking the edit history of an article before nominating it for VfD. The version you nominated was the result of vandalism by an anon IP. I have reverted, but kept the VfD notice, as you need to withdraw it. Unless of course you think the article should still be deleted. Proto t c 10:26, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Oops, sorry. Will withdraw it, and be more careful in future. Thanks for spotting it and letting me know. KeithD (talk) 10:28, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * No worries :) The best rule of thumb is, if you can sort it without it being on VfD, do that. Redirects are always good. Proto t c 10:36, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

About the article "Araku Valley"
Hi Keith,

I am a relatively new member of wikipedia and do not have a clear understanding of the copyright policy.The website from which I gathered the information does not claim any copyright. Moreover this is just some information on a particular tourist place. Does this mean that wikipedia does not allow copying information from any other website? If that is the case,Can i rephrase the information and add it to wikipedia?. I have gone through the copyright policy but it is a bit confusing. Could you please clear my doubts?.

Regards, Sumanth. (Unsigned comment by User:Sumanthk

 * The official policy can be found here.

 * My amateur understanding of that, and of copyright in general, is that a website doesn't have to claim copyright to actually have copyright. Simply by writing the text, they've claimed copyright on it. If the website from which it was copied wanted it to be used freely, they'd have to assert that it could be used freely.

 * In simple terms, yes, Wikipedia doesn't allow copying information from any other website. You absolutely can rephrase the information and resubmit it (at the temporary subpage link provided at the copyvio notice at the article). That would be the best solution. Good luck with it.

re: welcome message
hallo keith, thanks for your welcome message. i've been a keen wikier for nearly a year now and thought i'd start to work a bit on the Big One. i was just wondering why you welcomed me though? do you welcome all newcomers? (or all that you can?) is it standard practice on WP? or just your own personal friendliness? i'm just interested, as an artist dealing with wiki theory and practice. --Darrel Stadlen 14:41, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Daniel. Anyone can welcome anyone else at Wikipedia, by placing the template on their talk page. I think I spotted one of your edits on a page I was watching, and then noticed that no-one had welcomed you, so thought I'd be the one to say hi. It was a combination of personal friendliness, and standard practice. KeithD (talk) 14:45, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

ah ok, that's interesting - might introduce a similar template on my own wiki. thanks again!

Knights of Xentar
Thanks for adding a little to that page. I saw the guy create it a few days ago, and casual searches on wiki didn't turn up much relevance to anything. I was waiting for the weekend to have more time to search, and then was going to VSD it if I still didn't have a clue... so its nice to see it improved instead of just deleted. :) --Syrthiss 15:52, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

The meaning of "beraid"
Yeah, I couldn't find the correct spelling either and, hoped someone else would but, I have heard the word used often but had never written it till this article. My understanding is that it means like annoy or bother with continuosly. I think the word I meant to use might have been "berate" .--The_stuart 21:30, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Ohhhhhhh, berate. Ah ok. In the context, that's a bit strong (it means "To rebuke or scold angrily and at length". I'll change it to 'grill'. KeithD (talk) 21:57, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your personal opinion
I do not think that the whole Elvis Presley article in its present version is encyclopaedic, as you claim. There are too many uncritical passages in it. See my reply on the Talk:Elvis Presley page. Onefortyone 01:48, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * See the reply on my User talk:Onefortyone page. I have also read your critical remarks on the Talk:Elvis Presley page, but still think that less than 5% of the whole article is critical. In my opinion, the general tone of it is uncritical. Perhaps you may be able to rewrite some passages of this article, for instance the "Relationships" section, and add some critical passages on Elvis's consumption of drugs, etc. Onefortyone 20:27, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * As I've said at the talk page, I fail to see why an encyclopaedia should be focussed on criticism. It should be focussed on reporting the facts. What percentage of an article about Elvis Presley should be critical, would you say? KeithD (talk) 22:13, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Gordon... RFA
Looks like someone already closed it.

In my opinion there is usually little benefit to removing RFAs unless the nominee agrees to the removal. Gordon was responsible for his own drubbing and egged it on through his responses to the RFA. He would appear to have a thick skin. Removal is appropriate in those cases where the candidate clearly does not want to be involved in the RFA any more, which is rare. And (IMO) anyone can do it, not just bureaucrats. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 20:33, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Okey dokey. Thanks for the clarification. KeithD (talk) 20:35, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I saw your comments with regard to the holocaust on the Wikipedian RfA board; I'm terribly afraid that you misunderstood my comments, and I apoligise for not having been clear initially.

 * The purpose in making mention of this was to avoid future events in which people "followed the crowd" and did as others do; there was no attempt to imply my situation was as bad; Further, it was not my intent to gain something by that remark; it would have been treading on the blood of dead Jews, and that would not be right. Since it is obvious that I would more likely lose votes than gain them, it is clear that I did not hope to "benefit from" their suffering by use of an analogy.

 * See my boldfaced point above? I am aware that those who follow the crowd may get into positions of authority and have a chance to either help or jeopardize life, and I am hoping my comment will make those in power be more careful: This may save lives.

 * --GordonWatts 07:47, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

 * PS: FYI, Keith, of the people who have known me since many months here, three (3) voted for me, and 1 voted neutral, implying that those who know me well trust me. Ann Heneghan was the neutral voter and the first three "support" votes were from people who have known me for over four months . I went into more detail about how the holocaust may recur in the RfA page: Maybe I won't get any votes, but if I can help others avoid this, or even save a life, it is worth it. Here are highlights:

 * "The constant rebuttal of oppose votes, and his insistence that the system is wrong when the vote doesn't go his way, seems wholly out of line with the measured neutrality that I feel is necessary for an admin." How do you know, KeithD, that the system is not wrong? Hmm? You assume that it is not broken, as yet unproved, and then use this assumption to prove itself: circular reasoning. "The constant rebuttal of oppose votes..." So? What's wrong with rebuttal? Maybe there is a problem that needs rebutting. You assume to many things, one for example, that the system is all good and well. That is not a given.

 * I've read and re-read what you've said on both these issues at the RfA page. I still believe that you're not suitable for adminship, and that mention of the Holocaust, spousal abuse, and human rights abuses were not appropriate, and stand by my given reasons. KeithD (talk) 08:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you for reading and hearing my viewpoints; Yes, I may have been over-the-top with my comment about the holocaust; HOWEVER, maybe the provocations of others who decided to make up their own policy (instead of following the clear written policy) were over-the-top in their overreaction -and made me frightened -at some gut level that the same tragic things that had happened in the past could recur -and maybe I just reacted as any person would: Oppose that shortcut stuff. Many admins are much harder to get along with than am I, but once they become an admin, a "double standard" applies: They can get away with a lot and not be removed from admin, but I (and other RfA applicants) make maybe a some small mistakes, and we are slapped?? No, this is just not right. Further, I am certain that mistreatment of users occurs on a semi-regular basis, or else I wouldn't be squawking so loudly. Yes, maybe I am unsuitable for Adminship, but if that's so, there are others ahead of me who are even more unsuitable and need your attention even more. However, until policy changes, I am "qualified." (As a side note, I think they should raise the standards on ALL users by making EVERYBODY register -no more anonymous IP users -and make us post our photo and at least our first name and an email address, but since they haven't raised Admin standards, I think that many people qualify currently, who are improperly denied adminship -because of partisan politics and games. Wrong.)-- GordonWatts 11:22, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Spoiler warning
Hi KeithD. Thanks for the welcome. I have a question but I don't know who to direct it to for a proper answer. Might as well ask you.

In some wikipedian pages relating to films, there are certain contributions which depict the whole storyline of the film, sometimes scene by scene. Not only do I think that is annoying, I also think that it is unfair to the reader and to those who produced the film/movie. I would like to voice out my opinion on that, not particularly wanting any change in the rules in return, but at least let it be known that I, for one, would prefer people to be granted the liberty to watch the movie themselves rather than read it here in Wikipedia. Kinda makes Wikipedia a spoiler for the movie industry if they let this continue. If this is not possible, let it be.

For an example please refer to Pirates of the Carribbean : Black Pearl. Nicely written but everything's there. No one has to watch it anymore after reading it. Please do something about it.

Sylee

 * You'll notice that the articles have a warning about spoilers before any plot details are revealed. I think there's a difference between an encyclopaedia, and most places where films are mentioned (review sites and the like). An encyclopaedia's duty isn't to the film industry, or even to people who haven't seen the film yet. An encylopaedia's duty is to report the facts.

 * You might find raising your concerns here will get feedback from Wikipedians more familiar with the situation than I am, and perhaps between you formulate some guidelines as to how much plot should be included in film articles. Hope this helps. KeithD (talk) 11:25, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

 * By far the quickest way to resolve this would be for you to update your website to include on it somewhere say that all the content is released under the GNU Free Documentation License, and then note that this has been done on the article's talk page, and on the Copyright problems page under its entry.

def of 'unnecessary mirror'
regarding (my belief of) your removal of an abebooks link.. Just exactly what is meant by "unnecessary mirror"? It would seem that mirrors are, by practical usage, "necessary". Regardless, the link was accurate & therefore a legitimate addition. An Encyclopedia is meant to be exhaustive.. That alone makes the link valid. I understand the need to remove non-factual info, but not the need to censor factual info. I say this with some concern. I have been finding some excellent as well as some obviously politically motivated info on wikipedia. The prescence of the politically motivated is discomforting to say the least. Perhaps I am being touchy.. But I do wonder..

thanks bobby billie joe bob at yahoo (drop the blanks & add the uld to contact)

p.s. it was my first editing of a wiki entry & I was, however small the contribution, proud. ;-) hence the 'touchiness'. (Unsigned comment by User:24.60.97.59)

 * Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry your first ever edit was reverted. I'm sure lots of your subsequent edits won't be. However, some may be, as they may with all of us.

 * In terms of the mirror being necessary, in Wikipedia terms I don't believe it was. If, for example, the Abebooks site was frequently down, then mentioning this in the article, and including a mirror at the end would be useful. As it is, it offered nothing extra to the main site link. In fact, for all I knew, it could have been an affiliate link, not a mirror link, and thus even more unsuitable for Wikipedia.

 * If you feel the mirror is necessary, then perhaps you should raise it at Talk:Abebooks, and see what other users feel. KeithD (talk) 07:42, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Quote marks
KeithD said: On the Besian Idrizaj article, you recently added quote marks to the end of a paragraph, when the quote continued to a new paragraph. As the Quote mark article says "The convention in English is to give the first and each subsequent paragraph opening quotes, using closing quotes only for the final paragraph of the quotation." Thought you'd like to know.

Sure thing. It's just an English-language convention I get quite arsey about because I just don't think it ever looks right in the context. We all have our personal gripes with how things look sometimes. My fault, not the article's. No worries. Thank you for reverting the article. To be honest, I'm so focussed on other things right now, that I forgot I even made changes to it. Bobo192 | Edits 17:55, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Re: WP:MIND
Thanks for the suggestions! Deryck C. is writing round four, and I'm not sure what scoring system he's going to use for that round. I've asked him to take a look at your suggestions. For rounds five and six (which I'll be writing), I will use a new scoring system, and I'll take into account your suggestions- I've already got some new ideas. Thanks for dropping your opinion by; it's greatly appreciated! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 19:15, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your comments to the scoring system. It was, if you can see, for the first 2 rounds, the first person who gets the correct answer received a times-infinity bonus because all others are given 0 points. My work with the current scoring system is to encourage people to KEEP ANSWERING after somebody has got correct, and as the same time KEEP the privilege of the first correct-getter. As you can see, owing to this new scoring system, the amount of answer-scripts have risen dramatically. I wonder if the 1-extra-point system will bring any negative effect to the future competitions. It is because each question carries different amount of points, and the first-answer will lose his or her advantage. Instead, I suggest that a multiplier is to be kept instead of replacing it with an addition.

 * Also, to encourage more replies, I've also given bonus multipliers to the second and third persons who get the correct answer. So what I think after hearing your opinion is, to keep the multiplying system, but the multiplier may be reduced from *4, *2, *1.5 to something like *2, *1.5, *1.2 (something greater than 1 but not greater than 1.5). Hope to see your feedback at my talk page (click the capital letter C in my signature will do ^_^) 06:57, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Re:Onefortyone
A short and concise "me too" paragraph @ Requests for arbitration/Onefortyone/Evidence would be helpful. Sam Spade 15:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * It turned out a little longer than "short and concise". Would the following be appropriate?

 * I stumbled across this issue on the AfD page and found the cited sources to be non-credible and unverifiable. User:Onefortyone said he felt I was an "unbiased Wikipedia user" and asked me to look at the Talk:Elvis Presley page . Following further discussion  of the credibility of the sources, I was accused of being a sockpuppet of User:Wyss, which I (hopefully!) debunked  and.

 * Between this change of heart, I had observed Onefortyone calling people with whom he disagreed his "opponents" . With this, I found it hard to assume good faith and politely bowed out of further direct discussion with Onefortyone on his talk page.

 * I kept an eye on the Elvis Presley talk page though, and continued to find the credibility of sources provided by Onefortyone to be suspect., , , ,.

 * Onefortyone continued to search for sources that "support[ed] his view", which I took exception to, and asked if anyone had any suggestions for a way forward . The discussion continued in much the same vein at the Elvis talk page. Eventually I filed an RfC on the article to get feedback from other editors about the credibility of the sources, and asked Onefortyone if he had any suggestions as to how we could resolve the impasse, whilst offering a possible option myself. These fell by the wayside when this arbitration was filed by Ted Wilkes. KeithD (talk) 16:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I guess so. I think the arbiters are going to be grumpy w how their formatting requests havn't been met in this case, but at least the above is under 1,000 words. Go ahead and add it to Requests for arbitration/Onefortyone/Evidence. Thanks, Sam Spade 20:27, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I put it in the correct format, and cited some different diffs to make it a little more relevant, I hope. It's up at the Evidence page. KeithD (talk) 21:40, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Did you mean to leave this on my talk page?
Hello, KeithD. Did you mean to leave that comment on my talk page? Shouldn't it go to Deryck's page? In any case, I've already strongly advised him not to do it. Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 16:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Stack cake

Stack cake, also called apple stack cake, is a stack of cakes layered with filling. Traditionally the cakes are made in a cast iron skillet, but they can be baked as well. The cake batter itself is made with molasses, and makes a crisp cake, similar to shortbread or biscuit. The apple filling for the cake can be made with applesauce, apple butter, apple jelly, re-hydrated preserved apple rings, or other types of filling can be used such as apricot, date and raspberry. The cake is a specialty of Appalachian cuisine.

Origin
An origin story proposed by Sidney Saylor Farr in 1983 is that stack cakes were a local substitute for layered wedding cake, which were prohibitively expensive. According to the legend, women would each donate a layer of cake, however, this is doubtful, because stack cakes require at least two days for the apple filling and cake flavors to combine. It's said that anyone eating the cake without waiting would wonder "what all the shouting was about".

Another proposed origin story is that James Harrod, eventual founder of Harrodsburg, Kentucky, brought stack cake from Pennsylvania to Kentucky, but the cake would not have gained popularity until flour became widely available, over 100 years later. There is no definitive account of the cake's origins.

Description
Many types of cake layer recipes exist from sponge-like layers of cake to cookie dough-like ones; sometimes a stack cake includes many variations and flavors. One recipe from the Bluegrass region utilizes a sorghum molasses based gingerbread type cake. Stack cake parties that do not involve a wedding occur irregularly but typically serve as a way for people to exchange recipes and gossip. Its use is not limited to Kentucky cuisine but all of Appalachia.

In order to accommodate the typical seven or eight layers, each layer was sometimes pressed very flat. A few of the more common flavorings used were ginger, apple and molasses.

Francisco de Villagra

Francisco de Villagra Velázquez (1511 – 22 July 1563) was a Spanish conquistador, and three times governor of Chile.

Early life
Born at Santervás de Campos, he was the son of Alvaro de Sarría and Ana Velázquez de Villagra, who were not married. For this reason he took the name of his mother. Upon arrival in America, he went to Peru, where he planned with Captain Alonso de Mesa an attempt to free Diego de Almagro, then a prisoner of the Pizarro brothers. Discovered in this plot, he was condemned to death, but Hernándo Pizarro spared his life.

Conquest of Chile
He traveled to Chile with Pedro de Valdivia and participated in the conquest of Chile. He was present at the foundation of Santiago in 1541, he occupied various positions in the government of the city, and he was called on to defend it from the assault of Michimalonco cacique in September of the same year.

First government
When Valdivia decided to travel to Peru in search of reinforcements in 1548, he made Villagra Lieutenant Governor of Chile. Soon after assuming his post he discovered a conspiracy directed by Pedro Sánchez de la Hoz, that already had tried to seize the government on previous occasions, but that Valdivia had pardoned because of his possible influence in court. Villagra was not so benevolent, and he was executed, without even giving him time to confess himself. This death caused problems for Valdivia, a judgment against him was made for various irregularities, but he overcame them, bringing in addition the designation of governor of Chile from the viceroy. In 1551 Villagra was sent to Peru to recruit the men necessary for further campaigns in the south against the Mapuches and returned to take part in them.

Second government
Valdivia died in the Battle of Tucapel, on 25 December 1553. In his testament, that was only to be opened upon his death, he first named Jerónimo de Alderete governor of Chile, second choice was to be Francisco de Aguirre and lastly Villagra. Alderete was in Spain negotiating recognition of Valdivia's position with the king, and Aguirre was involved in the conquest of Tucumán. The cities of the south then proclaimed Villagra as governor. In Santiago where the testament of Valdivia was not opened and Rodrigo de Quiroga proclaimed himself governor. Villagra tried to stop the indigenous rebellion, led by Lautaro, but when facing him in the Battle of Marihueñu on 26 February he suffered a terrible defeat, having half of his soldiers killed and the remainder unable to prevent the destruction of Concepción. When he arrived in Santiago to recover the situation, he convinced Quiroga to leave his office.

When Aguirre received the news, he was in Tucumán, and Villagra had already been named governor, due to the death of Alderete and the absence of Aguirre. Apprised of the situation by his friends in La Serena, Aguirre immediately returned there, where he was welcomed as the Captain General, or Governor of Chile. He communicated this choice to Santiago, letting it be known that the troops under his command were prepared to maintain his position, which was his by right of Valdivia's will. The town council of Santiago, however, refused to acknowledge the declaration, disarming the contingent of troops under Aguirre's brother Hernando which had been sent to deliver it. The conflict was finally resolved when a petition was sent to the Audiencia in Lima, which determined that the council had to submit to the command for six months, after which the viceroy Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza would designate a new governor. If the term expired, Villagra would be the governor, in command of the army of the south. Aguirre wanted to ignore the verdict, but his forces were too small to match Villagra's if there was a confrontation, so he accepted it bitterly.

Meanwhile, the War of Arauco continued its course, and Lautaro returned to defeat the Spaniards in Angol and destroyed once again the newly restored Conception. Pedro de Villagra turned back Lautaro's march on Santiago at the Battle of Peteroa. The Governor then marched to the south, managed to reinforce the beleaguered cites there and then returned to surprise and defeat the Mapuches and kill Lautaro, in the Battle of Mataquito.

Exile in Lima
Soon after Villagra prevailed at Mataquito the new governor designated by the viceroy Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza, 3rd Marquis of Cañete arrived. This was his son Don García Hurtado de Mendoza. Among the first actions of the new governor, was to take both Aguirre and Villagra prisoners. Sent to Lima to be judged on his performance, the sentence was favorable to Villagra. This gained the confidence of many who saw in his arrest an act of abuse by the son of the viceroy.

Last government and death
Years later, he was named by the King as the successor to Hurtado de Mendoza, and he took office in 1561. His government began with a terrible event, since the boat in which he came brought the smallpox to Chile. It appeared in a disastrous epidemic in Valparaíso and Santiago, but also affected with still greater severity the Mapuches that lost between twenty and twenty five percent of their population. When initiating his rule he reorganized the regulation of the work in the mines and annulled the encomiendas that Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza had given to his friends and companions, which began new protests against him. He organized a new expedition against the Mapuche, but his body tired of so many battles fell irremediably ill. He had to be transferred in a stretcher to the battle sites. He also suffered in addition the death of his son Pedro de Villagra, el mozo in this war, which made his mental and physical condition worse. He later designated his cousin Pedro de Villagra to continue the campaign, giving him also the title of temporary governor, thanks to a power given him by the viceroy.

He died at Concepción two days later, on 22 July 1563, and according to his desire, was buried with the Franciscan habit.

Agstafa

Agstafa (Ağstafa) is a town, municipality (assigned in 1941) and the capital of the Aghstafa District of Azerbaijan. Agstafa district was established in 1939, abolished in 1959 and merged with Gazakh district, and made into an independent district again in 1990.

History
Historical reference books of Agstafa indicate that the city appeared in the second half of the nineteenth century, essentially built as a new town around the construction of the Baku-Tbilisi railway. The town was known initially as Elisavetinka, for the Russian royal, though the station did take its name from a pre-existing small village of Agstafa, which grew more important from 1914 as the junction stop for a new branch line to Yerevan. In 1920, with the region still rocked by the fallout of the 1920 Ganja Revolt, the Treaty of Agstafa was negotiated here between the newly Sovietised Republic of Azerbaijan and the then still-independent Democratic Republic of Georgia.

Agstafa received city status in 1941.

Geographical position
There is one city (Aghstafa), 9 settlements (Vurgun, Poylu, Shekarli, Jeyranchol, Saloglu, Soyugbulag, Soyugbulag, Hazi Aslanov, Garayazy) and 29 villages in the region. These settlements are managed by 29 administrative territorial representations and 29 municipalities.

Population
Of the Agstafa region population of 88,458 as of January 2020, as many as 21,817 people live in the city and 66,562 in villages. 43,562 men and 44,817 women make up the population of the region.

Transport
Agstafa has a large urban transport system, mostly managed by the Ministry of Transportation.

Rail
The city sits on one of the Azerbaijani primary rail lines running east–west connecting the capital, Baku, with the rest of the country. The Kars–Tbilisi–Baku railway runs along the line through the city. The railway provides both human transportation and transport of goods and commodities such as oil and gravel.

Agstafa's Central Railway Station is the terminus for national and international rail links to the city. The Kars–Tbilisi–Baku railway, which will directly connect Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan, began to be constructed in 2007 and is scheduled for completion in 2015. The completed branch will connect the city with Tbilisi in Georgia, and from there trains will continue to Akhalkalaki, and Kars in Turkey.

Moscow 2042

Moscow 2042 (Москва́ 2042, Moskva 2042) is a 1986 satirical novel (translated into English from Russian in 1987) by Vladimir Voinovich. In this book, the alter ego of the author travels to the future, where he sees how communism has been successfully built in the single city of Moscow. It soon becomes clear that the political system in the country is not a utopia and that Russia is ruled by the "Communist Party of State Security" which combines the KGB, the Communist Party, and the Russian Orthodox Church.

The party is led by former KGB general Bukashin (name literally meaning "the insect") who met previously with the main character of the novel in Germany. An extreme slavophile Sim Karnavalov (apparently a parody of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn) enters Moscow on a white horse as the savior.

Voinovich wrote this book in 1982.

Plot summary
The Russian author Kartsev, living in Munich in 1982 (just like Voinovich himself), time travels to the Moscow of 2042. After the "Great August Revolution", the new leader referred to as "Genialissimus" has changed the Soviet Union... up to a certain point. After Vladimir Lenin's dream of the world revolution narrowed down to Joseph Stalin's theory of "Socialism in one country", Genialissimus has decided to start from building "Communism in one city", namely in Moscow.

The ideology has changed somewhat, into a hodgepodge of Marxism–Leninism and Russian Orthodoxy (the Genialissimus is also Patriarch). The country is ruled by the CPGB – The Communist Party of State Security, a merger of the Communist Party and the KGB. The decay from which the Soviet Union suffered has worsened.

The rest of the Soviet Union, where people barely survive, has been separated by a Berlin type of wall from the "paradise" of Moscow, where communism has been realized. Within the wall everyone gets everything by the communist principle, "according to his needs", though their needs are not decided by themselves, but by the Genialissimus. Most people have "ordinary needs", but a chosen few have "extraordinary needs". For the first-mentioned group, life is dismal even within the privileged "Moscorep" (Moscow Communist Republic).

The situation finally gets so desperate that people throw themselves in the arms of the "liberator", a dissident writer and acquaintance of Kartsev, the slavophile Sim Karnavalov (an apparent mockery of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn), who enters Moscow on a white horse and proclaims himself Tsar Serafim the First. Thus, communism is abandoned and society digresses back into feudal autocracy.

Reception
This novel is considered to be a masterpiece of dystopian satire. Some (including Voinovich ) have called the novel prophetic.

This read like Parsons was a fashion design school. Not true. Fashion is only one department at Parsons which is also known for brand identity, furniture design and photography. I have added non Fashion alumni. The bulk of Parsons students are in other departments, not fashion and have actually produced many famous designers.

Balakən

Balakən (Balakan; Билкан) is a city and the administrative centre of the Balakan District of Azerbaijan. The city is situated at the foot of the Greater Caucasus Mountains and on the Balakan river, a tributary of the Alazani River.

Etymology
According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Place Names, the name Balakan may be derived from an Old Georgian word "ბელის კანი (belis k'ani)" meaning "skin of a bear cub".

History
Throughout its history, the city was ruled by different kingdoms and khanates. In 1918–1920, Balakan was disputed between Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and Democratic Republic of Georgia until both countries were occupied by Soviet Russia and the city became part of Azerbaijan SSR. In 1965, Balakan gained city status after the Azerbaijani government's approval.

Economy
The economy of Balakan is partially agricultural, partially tourist-based, with some industries in operation.

Demography
The majority of the population of Balakan is ethnic Azerbaijanis. There's a significant minority of Avars and smaller minorities of Ingiloys (a subgroup of Georgians). According to a 2005 survey, 85% of the population was ethnic Azerbaijani, 14% Avar, and the remaining 1% consisted of other ethnicities.

Cuisine
Balakan's signature cuisine includes maxara, cüttü, chicken chigirtma and Balakan halva.

Talk:Zeller's congruence

An old comment, which should go
''Heading added for structural reasons. 82.163.24.100 (talk) 23:31, 19 January 2009 (UTC)''

The algorithm is ambiguous. It should be expanded out to actually discuss what it does, especially since it isn't actually using the formula. The German ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zellers_Kongruenz) page gives a much better explanation (from what little german I can understand).

Accuracy
The algorithm as given does not seem to be accurate: in particular, how does it handle the transition from February to March?

 * The if m < 3 branch handles the transition from February to March, essentially using the trick of considering years to start on March 1. The algorithm seems correct (for the Gregorian calendar) and unambiguous to me. Note both the algorithm and the formulas are using the notation ⌊x⌋ for the floor function of x. Ray Spalding 03:34, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That is correct, but I should explain this in the article as well. --R.Koot 08:41, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The example code given does not appear to match the mathematical formula given. Why not?
 * It is based on a fucntion in a C run-time library and it contains some optimizations. There is only one variable for the year and century, and floor((m+1)26/10) is precalculated, and the rather untransparent 'year start at march' trick. --R.Koot 19:42, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Formula OK
It's important to use the correct values for month, year, century For example: Year means the 2 digit year between 00 and 99. Century means the 2 digit century. The months are numbered from 3 for March to 12 for December. 13 for Jan and 14 for Feb of the prior year (which impacts the century)

For example 29 Feb 2000 has Zeller values of: Month = 14, Year = 99, Century = 19 then: DOW = (Day of Month) + 26*(Zeller_Month=1)/10 + Z_year + Z_Year/4 + Z_Cent/4 +5* Z_Cent DOW =      28       +   26 * (14 + 1)/10     +    99  + 99/4     +   19/4    + 19 DOW =   28MOD7      +        39MOD7          +    1   +  24MOD7  +   4MOD7   + 19MOD7 DOW =      0        +          4             +    1   +    3     +     4     + 4 DOW = 16MOD7 = 2 Monday (Saturday = 0) Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke  brooke@pacific.net updated 1 June 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by BrookeClarke (talk • contribs)

Simplifications Error?
In the simplified version it mentions to adjust year by 1 and month by 3 for January and February. However, implementing this gives incorrect results. I think it should be year -1 and month + 12 (to get months 13 and 14) same as with the normal algorithm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C1:280:2E5A:1552:40CA:BAE0:F65B (talk) 14:16, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

 * You are correct, and it looks like somebody fixed that. MiguelMunoz (talk) 22:39, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Julian Algorithm
The algorithm also does not include a Julian calendar variant. While optimization of the month term is desirable in an implementation, it would probably be better to expand this out in an article on Zeller's Congruence. The optimization could also be shown, but it should be labeled as such. I'd also like to see some logic included to select which calendar is used based on the date. Farinata 16:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

 * An article on Zeller's Congruence should present primarily what Zeller wrote, and show separately any optimisations based on Zeller.

 * Selection logic is at best difficult, as the change date varied with location and dates on either Calendar may be wanted for when the other was, or neither were, in use. Negative years should be considered, if only to establish any limits to implementations.

 * 82.163.24.100 23:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Various Comment
Various Comment

Formula

For the avoidance of error, the formulae should be given primarily with respectively +5J & +6J. Zeller included those, albeit secondarily, in the 1882 paper.

A note might be added on the conversion between Zeller's day-of-week numbering and that in ISO 8601 - one just exchanges 0 & 7.

Algorithm

That is NOT Zeller's algorithm. In the 1882 1883 1885 & 1886 papers, Zeller had no lists of numbers or names. The algorithms in Formula are easily enough coded.

Since thare are computer languages which look like each other but differ in detail, any computer code presented should have the language in which it was written & tested, including the version, stated.

References

All four of Zeller's relevant papers should be listed.

Overall

Zeller's papers were as much on Date-of-Easter as Day-of-Week. That derserves a mention in both the "Congruence" and the "Zeller" pages (and in the "Easter" pages proper).

The "Zeller" page has an external link, mislabelled "Comprehensive". The Zeller Society has (or had) a much more comprehensive document.

The Slovenian page "Algoritem za dan v tednu" has a formula not taken directly from Zeller.

Comment about this Wiki page applies also, I think, to "Congruencia de Zeller" - which seems to lack a sidebar link to this English page.

82.163.24.100 16:39, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Difference between two calendars:

The article claimed the Julian calendar was "offset from the Gregorian calendar by a fixed number of days," which isn't quite correct. It's offset by a fixed number of days each century, but that "fixed" number usually changes when the century changes. I modified the article to clarify this. --MiguelMunoz (talk) 20:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Firstly, it's not clear when the century changes - is it at the beginning or at the end of a year divisible by 100? Secondly, the change of difference does not occur at the beginning or the end of a year, but during the interval in which the calendars disagree as to whether it is February or March (that will need re-phrasing after a couple more millennia or so).

 * A Century starts with a year '01; but a Decade is usually years '0 to '9. The term Centade seems useful for the years '00 to '99, but needs to be defined in each document.  Google finds no conflicting usage.

 * 82.163.24.100 (talk) 10:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Avoiding negative numbers
The article makes this ambiguous claim: Both of these differences can be accounted for by replacing the term $$\left\lfloor\frac{J}{4}\right\rfloor - 2J$$ with the term $$5 - J$$, or $$5 + 6J$$ to avoid negative numbers. Huh? I'm not sure when I'm supposed to replace what, and neither of these looks right. To avoid negative numbers, the -J may be replaced with +6J and the -2J may be replaced with +5J. The J/4 term doesn't need to be touched. Also, this point doesn't belong in an explanation of the difference between the two formulas. I also don't know what is meant by "both these differences..." --MiguelMunoz (talk) 06:23, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Old Discussion
Some of the old comment in this page is no longer needed. Perhaps the "Chief Maintainer" could remove that which is not worth keeping? 82.163.24.100 (talk) 10:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

for "Implementation in Software?"
Gregorian, after adjusting m and y

 * $$h = \left(q - 1 + \left\lfloor\frac{(m+1)26}{10}\right\rfloor + y + \left\lfloor\frac{y}{4}\right\rfloor - \left\lfloor\frac{y}{100}\right\rfloor + \left\lfloor\frac{y}{400}\right\rfloor\right) \mod 7,$$

The -1 can be taken into the m term, but that makes the important m expression look less Zellerish.

If that checks out and makes sense, pray put it (and a Julian version?) into the Article. Since the Article may be used to generate working code, it seems desirable that it should indicate the best Zeller-derived code.

82.163.24.100 (talk) 12:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the adjustment of m and y, it should be noted that these values can be given by the following formulas :

 * $$m = \left(\left(month + 9\right) \mod 12\right) + 3,$$

 * $$y = year - \left\lfloor\frac{m}{13}\right\rfloor $$

 * I have no idea what happened, but I had no intention of removing the examples. I am readding them with some wikification. — Joe Kress (talk) 23:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. That's cool. Thanks for putting them back. --75.5.4.210 (talk) 07:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Revised Julian calendar
Is there a variant of Zeller's congruence available for the Revised Julian calendar, and if so how can we source it for putting it in? It would be straightforward to work it out, but that would be original research and banned - even though the actual result would be no different from one found elsewhere. PMLawrence (talk) 12:56, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Zeller did not and could not have developed such an algorithm because he developed his algorithms before the Revised Julian calendar was invented, so it cannot be a Zeller's congruence. If one was later developed, it would have to include Zeller in its name to be included here. — Joe Kress (talk) 20:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

 * On the first point, that's why I used the expression "variant of Zeller's congruence". On the second, there is no need for it to be called that, so long as the connection and relevance were pointed out. But none of this addresses where and how we could get it without tripping over the formal original research barrier. PMLawrence (talk) 02:40, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Cariño's Algorithm
A beautiful formula devised by a Filipino Mathematician (Dave Ryan Cariño) is an algorithm using direct substitution without any condition that is applicable from year 1582 onwards.

Let: M as Month of the year (1 = January, 2 = February, ………, 12 = December) D as day of the month (1 to 31) Y as year (1582....∞) D.D as day of the date (0 to 6, 0=Saturday, 6=Friday)

J = (12Y+M-3)/1200

D.D = { 3M + 4 + D - ⌊3M/7⌋ - 2⌊(M+7)/10⌋ + ⌊(50Y+M-3)/40⌋ - ⌊J⌋ + ⌊J/4⌋ } mod 7

Example 1: October 15, 1582, first day of Gregorian calendar. M = 10, D = 15, Y = 1582 J = [(12(1582)+10-3)]/1200 = 18991/1200   = 15.825833 D.D = { 3(10) + 4 + 15 - ⌊3(10)/7⌋ - 2⌊(10+7)/10⌋ + ⌊[50(1582)+10-3]/40⌋ - ⌊15.825833⌋ + ⌊15.825833/4⌋ } mod 7 = { 30 + 4 + 15 - ⌊4.2857⌋ - 2⌊1.7⌋ + ⌊1977.675⌋ - ⌊15.825833⌋ + ⌊3.956⌋ } mod 7 = { 30 + 4 + 15 - 4 - 2 + 1977 - 15 + 3 } mod 7 = { 2008 } mod 7 = 6 ;Friday So, October 15, 1582 is Friday

For Julian Calendar: D.D = { 3M + 2 + D - ⌊3M/7⌋ - 2⌊(M+7)/10⌋ + ⌊(50Y+M-3)/40⌋ } mod 7 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vincent22914 (talk • contribs) 11:51, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Problems in "Other Variations"
The "Other Variations" section give four alternatives, but two of them seem to be missing something. The source for the variation by Michal Keith involves changes to the day, and doesn't always work in my tests. The same goes for the JR Stockton variation. When I compare each of these with the standard (13m+1)/5, I get these values for each month: (I adjusted Stockton and Tøndering for "Sunday is Zero.) For Michael Keith, a difference of 1 corresponds to a value of 2 for Sunday. Only Claus Tøndering's variation works. It looks there are missing details on the other two variations. (I also added some text to clarify that Tøndering's variation also used 0 for Sunday.)

Michael Keith: month 3: delta = 1 month 4: delta = 1 month 5: delta = 1 month 6: delta = 1 month 7: delta = 1 month 8: delta = 1 month 9: delta = 1 month 10: delta = 1 month 11: delta = 1 month 12: delta = 1 month 13: delta = 1 month 14: delta = 0

JR Stockton: month 3: delta = 2 month 4: delta = 2 month 5: delta = 2 month 6: delta = 2 month 7: delta = 3 month 8: delta = 2 month 9: delta = 2 month 10: delta = 2 month 11: delta = 2 month 12: delta = 3 month 13: delta = 2 month 14: delta = 2

Claus Tøndering: month 3: delta = 0 month 4: delta = 0 month 5: delta = 0 month 6: delta = 0 month 7: delta = 0 month 8: delta = 0 month 9: delta = 0 month 10: delta = 0 month 11: delta = 0 month 12: delta = 0 month 13: delta = 0 month 14: delta = 0 MiguelMunoz (talk) 22:53, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Narcissa Whitman

Narcissa Prentiss Whitman (March 14, 1808 – November 29, 1847) was an American missionary in the Oregon Country of what would become the state of Washington. On their way to found the Protestant Whitman Mission in 1836 with her husband, Marcus, near modern-day Walla Walla, Washington, she and Eliza Hart Spalding (wife of Henry Spalding) became the first documented European-American women to cross the Rocky Mountains.

Early life
Narcissa Prentiss was born in Prattsburgh, New York, on March 14, 1808. She was the third of nine children of Judge Stephen and Clarissa Prentiss, was the oldest of the five girls, followed by Clarissa, Mary Ann, Jane, and Harriet, and had four brothers. In 1819, Narcissa had a religious awakening and converted to the Congregational Church. She was educated at the Franklin Academy in Prattsburgh, and for a time, taught primary school in there. Like many young women of the era, she became caught up in the Second Great Awakening. She decided that her true calling was to become a missionary, and was accepted for missionary service in March 1835. However, she was rejected for foreign mission because she was unmarried, a problem she solved by suddenly marrying Dr. Marcus Whitman on February 18, 1836, in Angelica, New York. Her birthplace in Prattsburgh is open to the public as the Narcissa Prentiss House. While the name is not much used today, the road from Prattsburgh, New York to Naples, New York was formerly called the Narcissa Prentiss Highway.

Journey west
Shortly after their wedding, the Whitmans along with the also recently married Henry and Eliza Spalding headed west for the Oregon Country in March 1836 to begin their missionary activities amongst the natives. The journey was by sleigh, canal barge, wagon, river sternwheeler, horseback, and foot. Narcissa kept a journal of the trip. The founder of Ogden, Utah, Miles Goodyear, traveled with them until Fort Hall. On September 1, 1836, they arrived at Fort Walla Walla, a Hudson's Bay Company outpost near present-day Walla Walla, Washington. They then traveled on to Fort Vancouver where they were hosted by Dr. John McLoughlin before returning to the Walla Walla area to build their mission. Whitman and Spalding were the first white women to cross the Rocky Mountains and live in the area. She was something of a novel addition to the community for the local Native Americans, the Cayuse.

Whitman Mission
The Whitman Mission began to take shape in 1837, eventually growing into a major stopping point along the Oregon Trail. Methodist missionary Jason Lee would stop off in 1838 at the mission on his way east to gather reinforcements in the United States for his mission in the Willamette Valley. Then, in 1840, mountain man Joseph Meek, whom the Whitmans met on their journey to the area, stopped off on his way to the Willamette Valley.

Built at Waiilatpu, the settlement was about six miles (10 km) from Fort Walla Walla and along the Walla Walla River. At the mission, Whitman gave Bible classes to the native population, as well as teaching them Western domestic chores that were unknown to the Native Americans. Besides the missionary goals of converting the natives, she also ran the household. Her daily activities included cooking, washing and ironing clothes, churning butter, making candles and soap, and baking. Her letters home recounted her loneliness and life at the mission.

On March 14, 1837, on her twenty ninth birthday, Whitman gave birth to the first white American born in Oregon Country. She named her Alice Clarissa after her grandmothers, and she would be their only natural child. Unfortunately, the child drowned in the Walla Walla River on June 23, 1839, at age two. Unattended for only a few moments, she had gone down to the river bank to fill her cup with water and fell in. Though her body was found shortly after, all attempts to revive her failed. However, other children came to the mission, including the Sager orphans, to whom Whitman became a second mother.

Just before winter, in late 1842, Marcus traveled back east to recruit more missionaries for the mission. During the time he was away, Whitman traveled west and visited other outposts in the territory including Fort Vancouver, Jason Lee's Methodist Mission near present-day Salem, Oregon, and another mission near Astoria, Oregon. Marcus returned with his nephew, Perrin, from his trip east in 1843.

Whitman massacre
Throughout their time in Oregon Country, the Whitmans periodically encountered trouble with the native tribes. The Cayuse and the Nez Percé tribes were suspicious of the activities and the encroachment of the Americans. As early as 1841, Tiloukaikt had tried to force them to leave Waiilatpu and the ancestral homeland.

In 1847, a measles epidemic broke out among the native population, which lacked immunity to the disease and it spread quickly. The American population had some limited immunity to measles which meant a lower mortality rate than the natives. This discrepancy stirred discontent among the natives who felt Marcus was only curing the white people while letting Indian children die. The resentment boiled over on November 29, 1847, when Tiloukaikt and others attacked the mission, killing both Whitmans. This event would be remembered as the Whitman massacre, in which eleven others were killed, including the young brothers John and Francis Sager. Many more were taken hostage. Five Cayuse were hanged for murder; see Cayuse Five.

Likeness
According to author O. W. Nixon, who published a portrait of Whitman drawn after her death: "No authentic picture of Mrs. Whitman is in existence. This portrait of her has been drawn under the supervision of a gentleman familiar with her appearance and with suggestions from members of her family. It is considered a good likeness of her."
