Fawcett

Thank you for suppressing my material on Beaumont College and the Bells of Ouseley on grounds of copyright infringement. I drafted as I did because I do not think there is any copyright infringement here, as although I have used the website you refer to as a source for some of the material, I believe that this constitutes fair dealing under English law, since only a small part of the source article was used, significant drafting changes were made (and copyright protection applies only to how information is presented, not the information itself), and there are no commercial interests involved (the source website is non-commercial). I have consulted " Wikipedia:Five Pillars" as you suggest, but find little to explain your actions.

I think it especially unfortunate that you have suppressed the whole of these articles, not simply the parts you suppose are offensive. I have no time to pursue this matter further, but think it would be a kindness to those interested in Beaumont College if you were at least to remove the material you suppose offensive and allow the rest to stand.

Your Vote
I just wanted to ask if you could kindly show me where the directions are for re-listing a article that has already been voted on. I did not get rid of the old voting results, I moved them to an archive page so the new voting could be on the actual current vote page. --ScottyBoy900Q 22:49, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

that "blanking" was a software malfunction
The version the page I was editing had two copies of my insertion. When I edited one of them to remove it, evidently something happened in the collision with Lulu's own editing ahead of me. The sofware has been flakey, I am getting logged out all the time this morning too. Has there been a software upgrade? Thanx for correcting it.--Silverback 17:22, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I see now what happened. I have had very rare occurences like this for as long as I have been using the wiki - its happened maybe 3 or 4 times. I will strike my comments on the Rfc. Fawcett5 17:26, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You probably should back out your comments completely. You inserted them over the signatures of 4 people who certified the statement of dispute.  I think you thought this was an evidence page.--Silverback 19:01, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, they are gone now, I reverted out all the illegal edits. Here is the relevant text from the vandalism page:  Changing people's comments Editing signed comments by another user to substantially change their meaning (e.g. turning someone's vote around), except when removing a personal attack (which is somewhat controversial in and of itself).
 * --Silverback 19:39, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Silverback, I have reinserted my comments, and I certainly don't approve of you removing them in the first place, even though they were struck. DO NOT remove them again. They were neither "Illegal" or "vandalism" - editors "certifying" the Rfc were people who tried to mediate a solution before the Rfc, there is nothing "certified" about the text of the Rfc per se. The only thing innappropriate going on there is the subject of an Rfc removing comments from the Rfc page. THAT is vandalism, and if you keep it up, I'll block you myself.

Welcomes
Heya, you might want to sign your welcome messages to newbies. It makes them more personal, and signing messages on talk pages is a good idea anyway. --fvw *  20:15, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops, didn't notice the sig was missing, thanks. Fawcett5 20:19, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi! Great to see so many welcome messages go by on RC Patrol :-) However, you might want to consider to use instead. It replaces the template with the text, which not only makes it look more personal but also, as I've been told, is less of a strain on the servers. Regards, --JoanneB 20:33, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Welcome wagon
Just so you know, User:Motel Marmot, who you welcomed earlier today, is a suspected sockpuppet of the Marmot vandal, and as such is under indefinite block. Sadly, this applies to all nicks referencing marmots. DS 21:43, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I will keep an eye out for other Marmot nicks. I supose though that this sort needs to read the five pillars especially badly....not that it will do any good if they do. Fawcett5 12:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

New Users
How do you find new users and welcome them so fast? Just the normal Recent Changes page and look through it until you find one? Also, why dosen't wikipedia automaticly send out a welcome message, do you think that's a good idea?

Prodego 12:49, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: welcome
Hello Fawcett5 and thank you very much for welcoming me!

I do think the project of Wikipedia is beautiful and also something of new in the history of human civilisation, a kind of self-developing and auto-correcting knowledge system.

Well, I hope to give my little contribute to this project...

By the way, I have a question: I was working at the english article about the italian movie "I'm Not Scared" and I was trying to upload the orginal poster movie, but I did a mistake. I uploaded the image not directly in the article, but in the commons, where fair use is not possible. A message told me that the image will be delete, but it's still there. And now I can't upload the same image (with the same title) in the article because that image is already in the commons. So, if I don't to change the name, what shall I do? I have simply to wait or can I cancel the image in the commons myself?

Thank you very much for your kind help.

Bye,

Daviboz

Welcomings
You welcome lots of Wikipedians! Good good good! --216.191.200.1 19:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: images
Hi again,

the name of the file in the commons is "io non ho paura.jpg". It's still there, but don't worry, I solved the problem at the end of the day, I just uploaded the same image with a different name ("I'm not scared original.jpg") directly in the article as movie poster (fair use).

Thank you very much for you kind help and good work!

Cheers,

Daviboz 23:28, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

From Enjiniahdesu
Thanks for your welcome note!

I noticed that my article on progressive stamping was placed into the technology category. I believe that it should be placed into the metalworking category. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Fawcett5
Thank you for welcoming me. I am very new to Wikipedia and didn't know that the contents are all editable. I think this is an awesome idea because you get the opportunity to correct any errors you see without creating too many misunderstanding with the original writer. Furthermore, all contributions will be monitored by administrators such as yourself and this ensures that only useful information goes in and the trash goes out. Besides, this is also an enormous pool of information contributed from all walks of life from all over the world. Point of curiousity though, as administrator, do you have to verify the truth of the information given? What if the contributor (such as myself) contributes something I thought was correct but infact wasn't? - ok, someone else can correct my error - but what if I corrected someone else's error which was infact not an error?

Also, I'm wondering if you have any write-ups about Anne of Green Gables, like photos of the island, perhaps?

One more question, please. While you are at it, why not start up something like this to pool all the folk legends and old wives tale from all over the world? It is through these local legends that you get to know the different people of the world and their wide and varied beliefs.

I'm not even sure if this is the correct way to write to you but if this goes where it shouldn't, please redirect it back to Fawcett5.

and this "My Talk" tab.....is it some sort of e-mail?

I don't see any "Send" Tab only the "Save" and wouldn't that just save it to my page... or My Talk....??..hmm....

Hi. This image you uploaded has no source information. Because it has no source, Wikipedia cannot make a fair use claim to it. Please supply source information if possible- otherwise, the image may have to be deleted. Thanks. --Ryan Delaney talk 11:06, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

The image is actually in the public domain. It is from the collection of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and dates to 1915. I have updated the image annotation accordingly. Regards, Fawcett5 12:27, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Queens
Fawcett, I am confused by your concern, there is a link to the Queens federal district on the disambig page as I created it: Queen's (electoral district)... the problem is that federal district was on a page called "Queens (Nova Scotia electoral district)" but there are two districts that could meet that criteria: "Queens (Nova Scotia federal electoral district)" and "Queens (Nova Scotia provincial electoral district)". I merely moved "Queens (Nova Scotia electoral district)" to "Queens (Nova Scotia federal electoral district)" to prevent confusion as one might expect just as well to find information on Queens (Nova Scotia provincial electoral district) at "Queens (Nova Scotia electoral district)". I am not sure what the problem is? Perhaps you mistook what I did or am I missing something here? - Jord 14:04, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, I see that I was misreading something, but there were still some problems. I have tried to update the disambig page to fix things. Was there really a PEI provincial district at the same time as the PEI federal? Your page moves have had the effect though of making a lot of articles point to the wrong place.  They also upset a long-standing convention for electoral district naming, I would check with User:Earl Andrew to see what he recommends as far as naming conventions and what the latest thinking on that is — he is our electoral district guru. Fawcett5 14:29, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I am not sure about PEI, if you look at the page history, you will see that there were several disambiguation pages for electoral districts named Queens/Queen's so I put all of the disambig data on one disambiguation page which, in my mind, should make things easier to navigate. See  and . - Jord 16:28, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I've gone through and disambiguated most of those pages pointing to the wrong spot and was surprised to discover about half of them were not a result of any moves I had made, so not only did I clean up my mess but some other messes as well. Yay for me ;)  Also good job on the layout of the disambig page, it does make it a lot easier to follow.  I've also apprised Earl of what is going on and will wait to see what he thinks but in my mind this is the only way to disambiguate pages in this unique situation. - Jord 16:50, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Jord, if my memory serves I many months ago suggested the same kind of thing that you are proposing now, except when the reality sunk in of what would be involved in actually fixing the many, many similar cases, I quickly came to the conclusion that it was better to stick with the status quo naming convention.... That's partly why I wanted you to check in with Earl... see if he thinks the status quo is still working. Cheers, Fawcett5 16:55, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Well I don't think that there are many other cases where this is the case. You don't want to over disambiguate things.  If there is an electoral disrtict named X and nothing else is named that then the article should be X (eg. Tobique-Mactaquac).  If there is only one electoral district named X but there is some other thing by the same name it should be named X (electoral district) (eg. Halifax (electoral district)).  If there are two electoral districts but both are in the same province, then they should be named X (federal electoral district) and X (provincial electoral district), etc, etc... in the unique case when you had districts at both provincial and federal levels and in different provinces would be the only time you would see X (Nova Scotia provincial electoral district) etc, the Queens example is the only one I have ever encountered that fits this criteria though I am sure there would be a handful of others. - Jord 18:09, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Not a problem at all, actually it's something that is not well documented in the information for newcomers, so I thought I would point it out. In any case, it's not a big deal. Cheers, Fawcett5 15:28, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I hope not to have done the same :) I've added templates to some authors and I've done some narrow modifications (correct details and things like that), but I think I didn't anything wrong. I hope! In any case I did that before remembering that I had to make the login... haha, joke.

CSD question
You put up ITC Solutions for and I had two questions for you. Since you're an admin why did you just not delete it? (I suppose it would be bad if there was a rule that you couldn't speedy something you tagged, or you thought should be if there was no tag and I didn't know). Secondly, does it meet the CSD? I didn't think it did... but, you've been an admin longer... so, if you could comment that'd be great. gren グレン 09:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

C-uploaded
Yes, I just uploaded the image locally on top of the red image page that previously pointed to the Commons image. I did this just to protect it while it's being used on the main page. The way to revert to the previos status is to delete the image, but on something like an ITN image it's appropriate to wait a day or so because there are sometimes controversies over what should be up.--Pharos 14:38, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your support during my time here, unfortunately it seems Tony is very well placed. Undoubtedly due to my support for his RfAr, I am now falsely accused of sockpuppetry.

Quite frankly, this sort of abuse of the system and blatent mob style tactics is the last straw. I am leaving for good here.

Deletion
Dr. Charles McArver Why was this page deleted? For what reason justifies deletion oh administrator!

Ok however i was going to add more the only problem i guess is that it was deleted after about 1 minute :\

 * Uh, in any case, the article seemed unencylopaedic - saying that some random school teacher gives easy tests is not going to cut it. Fawcett5 04:23, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Ok then i will compose a more organised page about this teacher and see what you say then. Sound good? And also have a point.

 * Sure, if you really think this teacher has done something notable that makes him worthy of an article, by all means try again. I will put a link on your talk page that will give advice about making an article. Don't be disappointed though if someone else thinks it is not sufficiently encyclopaedic.

Disappearance of Richard Colvin Cox

Richard Colvin Cox (born 25 July 1928, last seen 14 January 1950) was an American second-year cadet who disappeared from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. In January 1950, he was visited by a man whose first name may have been George three times over the course of a week. According to an eyewitness account from another cadet, the two men seemed to know each other. On the third occasion, Cox and "George" left the grounds of the academy and were never seen again. Cox is the only West Point cadet to have disappeared without a trace.

Early life
Richard C. Cox was born in Mansfield, Ohio on July 25, 1928, the youngest of six children born to Rupert F. and Minnie Colvin Cox. His father died when Richard was ten, as the result of a diabetic condition that had gone untreated because the Cox family were practicing Christian Scientists. Richard's mother owned and operated the family business, the Rupert F. Cox Insurance Agency.

Cox attended the public schools of Mansfield and graduated from Mansfield Senior High School in 1946. During his high school years, Cox told a friend he did not have time to participate on athletic teams because he always had an after-school job. In fact, he was sophomore class president, a member of the National Honor Society, an intramural athlete, a member of Hi-Y (High School YMCA), and the yearbook's sports editor.

During summer vacations in his teen years, Cox worked full-time. While working on a road crew in Mansfield, he fell and cut his arm on a scythe. Cox immediately went home for help from his mother, who refused to obtain medical aid because she was a Christian Science lay reader. The injury became infected and a neighbor brought Cox to a doctor. Cox's cut healed, but Cox had a prominent scar.

Military career
After high school, Cox volunteered for the United States Army, completed initial processing at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, and underwent basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He was then assigned to the United States Constabulary, which carried out police occupation and security duties in Allied-occupied Germany, and he attained the rank of sergeant. In May 1947, he began an assignment with Troop C, 6th Constabulary Squadron, based in Coburg in the American occupation zone of Germany. He was later assigned to the 6th Squadron's Headquarters Company, where he worked in the S-2 (intelligence) section. When the 6th Squadron was disbanded, Cox was assigned to Troop D, 27th Constabulary Squadron in Schweinfurt. Cox was a basketball fan, and while in Germany played guard on his units' intramural teams.

Later in 1947, Cox received an appointment to West Point, and he arrived at the United States Military Academy Preparatory School (then located at Stewart Field) in January 1948. His prep school classmates included Ernest Shotwell, who later became an important source on Cox's disappearance when he provided an eyewitness account that indicated Cox had disappeared voluntarily and was deliberately avoiding contact with his family.

Cox entered West Point in May 1948 and performed well; academically, he was ranked about 100th of 550. He also took part in extracurricular activities including West Point's cross-country running team. Cox was engaged to be married; he and his fiancée, Betty Timmons, planned to wed after his graduation from West Point.

Disappearance
At 4:45 pm on Saturday, 7 January 1950, a man telephoned Cox's West Point classmate, Peter Hains, who was acting as Charge of Quarters in Cadet Company B-2 (part of the North Barracks) and answered incoming calls for company members. He later said the caller's "tone was rough and patronizing, almost insulting." After Hains told the man that Cox was not in his room, the man replied, "Well, look, when he comes in, tell him to come on down here to the hotel. ... Just tell him George called – he'll know who I am. We knew each other in Germany. I'm just up here for a little while, and tell him I'd like to get him a bite to eat." Hains later stated he could not be completely certain the name given was "George", as he had answered many phone calls while on duty and that one had not seemed noteworthy at the time; Cox never referred to the man by name.

At 5:30 pm, a man entered Grant Hall—an area where cadets could meet guests—and asked to see Cox. The cadet on duty telephoned Cox to tell him he had a visitor. The cadet later described the visitor as slightly under 6 ft tall and weighing around 185 lb. He was fair-haired, had a fair complexion and wore a belted trenchcoat, but no hat. When Cox entered the Hall, he shook hands with the man; the cadet on duty later recalled he seemed glad to see him. Cox signed out in the Company B-2 Departure Book, indicating he would have dinner off-campus. Cox later admitted to his roommates that they did not dine, but drank from a bottle of whiskey while sitting inside the man's parked car.

Cox returned to Cadet Company B-2, signed in in the Departure Book, took a shower, and slept off the effects of the alcohol. As a prank, his roommates photographed him as he slept while slumped over his desk. Later that evening, Cox altered the military time he had written in the Departure Book, changing "1923" to "1823" to make it look as if he had attended the 6:30 pm cadet supper formation. In fact, he had skipped the formation. This detail was not discovered until two years later, when an agent of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command had the Departure Book examined in a laboratory. If the alteration had been discovered when it was fresh in January 1950, Cox could have been charged with violating the Cadet Honor Code.

The next morning, before attending the Sunday chapel service, Cox mentioned his visitor to his roommates. The man, Cox said, was a former US Army Ranger who had served in the same unit as he had in Germany. Cox said the man liked to brag about killing Germans during the war and had boasted about cutting off their private parts afterward. Another story he supposedly told Cox was about having gotten a German girl pregnant, and then murdering her to prevent her from having the baby. That afternoon, Cox signed out a second time to meet the man, returning at about 4:30 pm. The following six days were without incident. Cox mentioned his visitor once to his roommates, remarking that he "hoped he wouldn't have to see the fellow again," which gave them the impression he viewed the man with distaste.

On Saturday, 14 January, Cox attended a basketball game between Army and Rutgers University. Afterwards, he was seen talking to a man thought to be "George," although the cadet who saw the two talking gave a description that differed greatly from the description given by the cadet who had seen the stranger in Grant Hall on 7 January. According to the eyewitness description from 14 January, George was "dark-haired and rough looking." Cox returned to his room and mentioned to a roommate that he was signing out to dine with his visitor again, although he appeared "not apprehensive, just sort of disgusted." The two men left the grounds of the academy and vanished without a trace.

Official investigation
Cox was supposed to return by 11 pm, but when he did not appear, no alarm was raised because cadets occasionally returned late. His continued absence was reported to a superior officer at 2:30 am, but again no action was taken as cadets had been known to stay out all night despite the punishment this would incur. On Sunday morning, his roommates reported all they knew of the matter to their superior; the New York State Police and the CID were informed. The FBI also became involved in the investigation.

Three days after Cox's disappearance, a public appeal for information was broadcast on nearby radio stations. The grounds of West Point were intensively searched by helicopter and by troops on the ground. The Lusk Reservoir was dragged, the banks of the Hudson River were searched and a nearby pond was drained. The manhunt lasted two months but produced no significant leads. A search of Army records for a soldier who had served with Cox and matched the description of "George", led almost without exception to individuals who could not have been at West Point at the time of the disappearance. Cox's service in Germany was investigated and revealed nothing out of the ordinary. Though he had occasionally written disparagingly of West Point life in letters to his mother and girlfriend, the theory that he had deliberately deserted was discounted, as he had left behind in his room $87 (about $ in 2021) and two suits of civilian clothes. On 15 March 1950, Cox was listed as absent without leave.

Based on a West Point psychologist's speculation (without evidence) that two single men meeting several times were probably "homosexualist," the FBI looked into the possibility that Cox was gay or bisexual. This inquiry included visiting gay bars in New York City with Cox's roommates to see if they could identify anyone as "George" or if any patrons reported knowing Cox. The roommates never saw anyone who fit the description of George, and no one provided reliable information about having seen Cox. Despite these rumors, as well as the third-hand story of a Mansfield store employee who claimed to have caught Cox and another man having sex in the store's basement in 1946, Cox's friends and family discounted the questions about his sexual orientation.

In 1954, Shotwell, who had joined the U.S. Coast Guard after leaving the West Point prep school, reported to the FBI that he had had a conversation with Cox at the Washington, D.C. Greyhound Lines bus station in 1952, two years after Cox's disappearance. Shotwell knew that Cox had been absent from West Point, but when he saw Cox at the bus station, he assumed that Cox was no longer missing. During their encounter at the bus station, Shotwell said Cox claimed to have resigned from West Point, and said he was moving to Germany. According to Shotwell, Cox also seemed uncomfortable, was vague about his plans, and left after only five minutes.

By the late 1950s, the FBI considered the investigation closed, with all leads exhausted and a solution unlikely, and Cox's family had him declared legally dead in 1957. Despite the FBI's position that there were no further leads to pursue, it still followed up on occasional tips. One of these was a reported sighting of Cox in 1960, when an FBI informant claimed to have spent time at a bar in Melbourne, Florida with a man he later identified as Cox. The man called himself R. C. Mansfield and his acquaintances called him "Richard." After talking at the bar for an extended period, "Mansfield" supposedly shared with the informant personal details that matched Cox's and revealed that Cox was his real name. The informant went on to claim that "Mansfield" stated that Fidel Castro's time as Cuba's leader would be "limited," giving rise to the possibility that Cox was involved in clandestine work for the CIA or another government agency. Subsequent investigation failed to uncover further details on "Mansfield."

Jacobs investigation
Harry Maihafer's book Oblivion (1996) documents the investigation of retired high school history teacher Marshall Jacobs into Cox's disappearance. Jacobs began his research in 1985, and considered it inconceivable that after 35 years the mystery had not been solved. During the ten years between Jacobs beginning his investigation and Maihafer writing the book, A Current Affair broadcast a segment about the Cox mystery. The piece was anchored by Krista Bradford, who was seen interviewing Marshall Jacobs and Ernest Shotwell.

For ten years, Jacobs thoroughly investigated the case, traveling across the United States following up on new leads and revisiting old ones. He interviewed Cox's family, high school friends, military pals, and West Point classmates; CIA, FBI, and CID agents including Watergate scandal figure Frank Sturgis; and West Point and Army officials. He researched West Point's archives and the files from the FBI, CIA, and CID investigations of Cox's disappearance, to which he gained access under the Freedom of Information Act. Among Jacobs' findings was that authorities had been remiss when they discounted the theory that Cox had disappeared deliberately. Jacobs came to believe that the presence of 87 dollars in Cox's shared room did not rule out the possibility that his visitor had helped him start a new career with a new identity.

The old leads Jacobs revisited included ones from Mansfield News Journal reporter Jim Underwood, who had written a 12-installment series on the Cox mystery that the News Journal published in 1982. Underwood had interviewed a high school acquaintance of Cox named Ralph E. Johns, an army veteran and prosecutor who later served as a judge in Mansfield.

Johns told Underwood that he had not been involved in the original investigation in the 1950s, but that he and county prosecutor William McKee were interested in the Cox case and had frequent contacts with local FBI officials. Johns also told Underwood that when he discussed Cox with former FBI agent Vince Napoli, Napoli said the FBI had once been within twenty-four hours of grabbing Cox, and could not understand why agency superiors would not let agents pick him up. Johns speculated, perhaps based on Napoli's story, that Cox might have gone into some secret government agency such as the CIA. In the late 1980s, Jacobs interviewed Johns, who confirmed that he had raised the possibility of a secret government agency's involvement, but said it was only his speculation.

When he was ready to reveal his findings, Jacobs contacted Maihafer with hopes they could collaborate on a book. The resulting work, Oblivion, contains a photo section including the snapshot that Cox's roommates took of him on 7 January 1950 as he slept off the effects of the alcohol he had consumed in his visitor's parked car a short time earlier.

Questions and concerns
As detailed by Maihafer, Jacobs was left with several questions and unresolved issues, some of which were contradictory. Among these were:

1. The fact that Cox left money, civilian clothes, and a prized gold watch in his room indicated he did not plan to leave permanently.

2. A letter to Betty that he never finished included a hand drawn face spitting on the words "United States Military Academy." This draft letter also contained passages that suggested Cox was considering leaving West Point because he was unhappy with the regimen.

3. Several of Cox's friends and acquaintances said he told them that while in Germany, he had testified at a court-martial or had provided civilian court testimony against an individual charged with murder. Though neither the FBI nor Jacobs had uncovered any evidence of such a proceeding, the fact that Cox told so many people about it raised the possibility that "George" might have been someone seeking revenge against Cox.

4. Soon after Cox disappeared, a letter he sent to Rosemary Vogel, a woman he had met in Germany, which included inquiries about Russian activities in Germany, was returned as undeliverable. She was later located in the United States, where she had moved after marrying an American. She recalled Cox's friend Joseph "Bud" Groner, but did not remember meeting Cox until shown a photo of herself with Groner and Cox. She indicated that she did not know why Cox would have written to her, but Cox's queries about Russian activity raised the possibility that he was involved in intelligence gathering or wanted to be.

5. John H. Noble, an American living in Germany, was seized by the Russians in 1945 and imprisoned until 1955. Noble reported that the Soviet Union was holding a prisoner named “Cox” at a camp in Vorkuta, Siberia. The identity of this individual could not be confirmed, but it raised the possibility that Cox could have become involved in espionage or black market activities while serving in Germany.

6. The FBI informant who claimed to have met "R .C. Mansfield" (Mansfield being Cox’s hometown) provided enough detail for this to have been a credible sighting. In addition, "Mansfield's" anti-Castro remarks less than a year before the Bay of Pigs Invasion again raised the possibility that Cox was involved in clandestine intelligence work.

7. Robert W. Frisbee, who had been stationed at Fort Knox at the same time as Cox and who seemed to fit the description of "George," was known to have traded in false IDs in New York City the 1950s, something Cox might need if he had disappeared intentionally. Frisbee was arrested for the 1985 murder of socialite Muriel Barnett aboard a cruise ship and imprisoned in Canada, but disclaimed any knowledge of or involvement with Cox.

Possible conclusion
Although Jacobs did not definitively solve Cox's disappearance, he did develop what he considered to be a plausible explanation. Jacobs concluded that David M. Westervelt, a soldier with whom Cox served in Germany, and who was a resident of northern New Jersey, was "George." Westervelt fit the physical description provided by Cox's classmates and had a dubious career that caused police to interview him several times about Cox's disappearance. Jacobs suspected, as did Groner, that Westervelt was a recruiter for the CIA, a possibility that Westervelt's family did not discount. Jacobs believed that Cox admitted unhappiness with West Point during "George's" (Westervelt's) first visit, and that during the subsequent visits Westervelt offered Cox a way out by helping him start a new life under a different name and a career with the CIA or another intelligence agency.

According to an account provided to Jacobs in the mid-1990s by a retired CIA official he did not name, Cox became part of a "stay-behind" team in Europe and spent his career smuggling Russian nuclear scientists and other high-priority individuals out of the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries. This official further stated that Cox had retired to northern Idaho, but that at the time of the official's interview with Jacobs, Cox was hospitalized with a terminal illness at the National Institutes of Health facility in Bethesda, Maryland.

White Cliffs Solar Power Station

White Cliffs Solar Power Station was Australia's first solar power station. It is located at White Cliffs, New South Wales, which was chosen as it has the highest insolation in New South Wales, and in 1981 when the station was constructed had no grid connection.

Constructed by a team from Australian National University, the station consisted of fourteen five-metre parabolic dishes, each covered with more than 2000 mirrors and mounted on a heliostatic mounting. The dishes each focussed the sun's rays on a collector, where water was boiled. The resulting steam drove a three-cylinder Uniflow steam engine, made by modifying a Lister diesel engine, delivering up to 25kWe. Batteries were used to provide 24-hour power to selected buildings in the township, and an existing diesel generator retained to provide battery charging when either low insolation or strong winds prevented use of the solar station for extended periods.

In 1996, following grid connection of the township, the station was converted to photovoltaic. The dishes were resurfaced, and the original collectors each replaced by a cluster of 16 water-cooled photovoltaic cells. In its new form, the station delivers up to 45kWe. The batteries and diesel generator were removed, and the output fed into the grid.

The grid connected power station ran for around 6 years, generating valuable data on the long-term performance and efficiency of the modules. The power station ceased operation in December 2004 and has been resumed by the owner of the site.

In 2006 Engineers Australia placed a heritage marker "recognising the engineering significance of what is arguably considered the world's first commercial solar power station".

In 2012 it was proposed the site be used as a museum.

Lamborghini Jarama

The Lamborghini Jarama is a 2+2 grand tourer manufactured and marketed by Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini between 1970 and 1976. It was styled by Bertone designer Marcello Gandini.

Ferruccio Lamborghini intended the name to recall the fighting bulls bred in the Jarama river area in Spain and not the Jarama racing circuit near Madrid.

History
In 1968 Lamborghini began manufacturing the Islero to meet the demand of the American market. When it came time to replace it, instead of just redesigning the Islero, Lamborghini instead made the Jarama. Introduced in 1970 at the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini built the Jarama to meet U.S. standards using a version of the Espada chassis that had had its wheelbase shortened by 10.7 inches. The Iso Lele and the Lamborghini Jarama share similarities in their exterior styling and were both styled by Marcello Gandini. A total of 328 Jaramas were built.

The Jarama weighs 1450 kg dry, heavier than the Islero. It is powered by the same 3.9 L (3,929 cc) Lamborghini V12 engine used in the Islero and Espada, which was heavily derived from the engine used in the earlier 400 GT. The engine was fitted with six Weber 40 DCOE carburetors and sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. The original Jarama (1970–1973) model was claimed to produce 350 bhp. Early Jaramas feature centre-locking magnesium alloy wheels, as used on the Miura and S1/S2 Espadas.

The Jarama S (also known as Jarama GTS) was introduced in 1972. The exhaust system, heads and carburetors were revised, resulting in a power increase to 365 bhp. The S features a few minor body modifications including a hood scoop, exhaust vents in the fenders, windshield position adjustments and relocated turn signals. New wheels on five-bolt hubs were used, identical to those used on the Series 3 Espada. The interior has a redesigned dashboard trimmed in aluminium, switches relocated to the centre console, added head and sound insulation and improved rear seats and legroom. Power assisted steering became standard early into Jarama S production. Removable roof panels, and a Chrysler TorqueFlite automatic transmission were also available as factory options. Lamborghini built 150 of this version.

Ferruccio Lamborghini's personal Jarama S is on display at the official Lamborghini museum at the company's factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. The Jarama was Mr. Lamborghini's favorite model. He stated in a 1991 interview "I preferred the Jarama to all the others, because it is the perfect compromise between the Lamborghini Miura and the Espada."

Jarama Rally
The Jarama Rally, also known as the Jarama "Bob", is a one-off, race modified Jarama built by Lamborghini's test driver Bob Wallace. It features a modified 3.9-liter V12 engine that was repositioned to sit farther back in the engine bay. This allowed it to achieve a nearly 50/50 weight distribution (the standard Jarama had 53/47 weight distribution). The engine produces 380 hp at 8,000 rpm, 15 hp more than stock, and could reportedly reach a top speed of 270 km/h (167.7 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in about 5 seconds. As a race-ready example, Bob Wallace built the car from a bare shell, re-welding it where needed for stiffness and fitting a lightweight steel rear roll cage. He also upgraded the Jarama with a heavily modified aluminum body, which got rid of, amongst other things, the Jarama's hinged headlights and plastic discs, allowing the car to be around 300 kg lighter than stock at an estimated 1170 kg. It also featured center locking Miura wheels and low back seats, Koni racing shock absorbers, and a stripped out interior. The orange and black painted vehicle never ended up participating in any races. The car was reportedly restored in the UK in 1990 after being discovered in Saudi Arabia.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/National teams/Referencing templates

There are now a small set of templates that can be used to generate links to national football teams plus their associated flags:
 * Template:fb — renders a flag icon (using the same underlying mechanism as Template:flagicon) plus a link to the national football team for the specified nation
 * Template:fb-rt — same usage as fb, but puts the flag on the right
 * Template:fb-big — same usage as fb, but renders a larger flag image and places the linked team name beneath the flag. This version is useful for tournament history tables.

An identical set of templates is also available for women's national football teams:
 * Template:fbw
 * Template:fbw-rt
 * Template:fbw-big

Usage
In all cases, template usage follows the following format:

where:
 * = the name of the nation (e.g. ) or the FIFA trigramme of the nation (e.g.  )
 * = a label to specify an alternate (usu. historical) flag variant instead of the current flag. This parameter is optional.
 * = an optional name that can be used to over-ride the display name of the wikilink.

Examples
Note that using the FIFA country code (see List of FIFA country codes for the full set) or the name of the nation has the same result. Your choice of what to use will depend on whether you prefer brevity or clarity. Large lists of teams may benefit from using the full name; input arguments to tournament bracket templates may be easier to read with country codes.
 * =  = 🇮🇹 italy

Note that the display name may differ from the wikilink. These names are automatically selected by the internal template mechanism. In each case, the FIFA name of the team is used for the display name, but the common country name is used for the article link.
 * =  = 🇨🇳 china
 * =  = 🇲🇰 macedonia

In these examples, you can see that the wikilink is different from the normal "Nation national football team" format. The correct article name is also automatically selected from the internal template mechanism.
 * =  = 🇺🇸 united states
 * =  = 🇦🇺 australia
 * =  = 🇨🇦 canada

In these examples, both the wikilink name and the display name are different, and again, this is all handled automatically by the template.
 * =  = 🇰🇷 south korea
 * =  = 🇨🇩 congo

Non-FIFA teams
These templates work perfectly well for teams that do not have FIFA country codes:
 * = 🇲🇶 martinique
 * = 🇬🇱 greenland
 * = 🇵🇼 palau
 * = 🇾🇹 mayotte

Historical flags
Many nations have had different flags at different times in their history. Alternate flags can be selected by specifying an additional argument to the templates.

 * = 🇮🇹 italy
 * = 🇦🇷 argentina
 * = 🇩🇪 germany
 * = 🇷🇴 romania
 * = 🇧🇬 bulgaria
 * = 🇭🇰 hong kong
 * = 🇲🇽 mexico
 * = 🇰🇪 kenya
 * = 🇦🇫 afghanistan

Since these football templates are built on the same mechanism as the familiar flag and flagicon templates, the flag variant argument is the same. For example  produces 🇮🇹, so the " " variant has the same effect in both sets of templates.

To find the complete list of historical flag variants available for each nation, please look at the template documentation for the individual flag template, as found in Category:Country data templates. For example, the documentation for Template:Country data Hungary lists four different flag variants (in addition to the current flag).

Historical nations
Many nations were known by different names in their history. These flag templates can be used with historical nation names (and in some cases, historical country codes), and will generate a wikilink to the modern successor national team article. Note which article the wikilink points to for each of the following examples:

Some historical nations still have individual team articles, and again, work with these templates:
 * = 🇨🇼 curaçao
 * = 🇨🇼 curaçao
 * = 🇨🇼 curaçao
 * = 🇨🇼 curaçao
 * = 🇨🇼 curaçao
 * = 🇨🇼 curaçao

In some instances, use of the  parameter may be useful for historical team names:
 * = 🇨🇩 congo
 * = 🇮🇪 ireland
 * = 🇮🇪 ireland

Ireland

 * =  = 🇮🇪 ireland

Note that " " and the non-standard country code " " are used for the old all-Ireland national football team (IFA). You must spell out " " (or use the standard " " country code) for the current FAI team.

Stations of the Exodus

The Stations of the Exodus are the locations visited by the Israelites following their exodus from Egypt, according to the Hebrew Bible. In the itinerary given in Numbers 33, forty-two stations are listed, although this list differs slightly from the narrative account of the journey found in Exodus and Deuteronomy.

Biblical commentators like St Jerome in his Epistle to Fabiola, Bede (Letter to Acca: "De Mansionibus Filiorum Israhel") and St Peter Damian discussed the Stations according to the Hebrew meanings of their names. Dante modeled the 42 chapters of his Vita Nuova on them.

Locating the Stations
Attempting to locate many of the stations of the Israelite Exodus is a difficult task, if not infeasible. Though most scholars concede that the narrative of the Exodus may have a historical basis, the event in question would have borne little resemblance to the mass-emigration and subsequent forty years of desert nomadism described in the biblical account. If a smaller-scale exodus did take place, no trace of it has been found in the archaeological record, so archaeology can give no clues as to the modern-day locations of the stations.

Another factor complicating the issue is that the narrative descriptions of many of the stations lack recognizable distinguishing features, or are very broadly defined. For example, Marah, the fifth station, is described only as a place where the Israelites found the drinking water to be exceptionally bitter. The locations of some stations are given in relative terms, such as the "Wilderness of Sin", which is simply described as the area between Elim and Mount Sinai, which, given the uncertain locations of the numerous stations, cannot be positively determined. Other locations central to the narrative, such as the Sea of Reeds, Mount Sinai, and Raamses, also lack positive identification, making it more difficult to plot a plausible map of the Israelites' journey. As such, proposed identifications of the stations of the Exodus are almost entirely conjectural.

Talk:Earl of Dundee

Reference for Jacobite Earldom of Dundee
(removed spam blacklisted website)

Jacobite Earl of Dundee
The Jacobite title of Earl of Dundee was accorded to Giovanni Battista Gualterio on 1705 by Prince James Francis Edward Stuart (The Old Pretender). This can be verified on the most reliable source on the subject, which is "The Jacobite Peerage" by the Marquis of Ruvigny.

The succession which has been provided by Tancarville is groundless as it inexplicably passes through illegitimate children. This fact has been omitted and is only vaguely mentioned in the page that has been indicated as reference.

Norman Packard

Norman Harry Packard (born 1954 in Billings, Montana) is a chaos theory physicist and one of the founders of the Prediction Company and ProtoLife. He is an alumnus of Reed College and the University of California, Santa Cruz. Packard is known for his contributions to chaos theory, complex systems, and artificial life. He coined the phrase "the edge of chaos".

Biography
Between 1976 and 1981, Packard formed the Dynamical Systems Collective at UC Santa Cruz with fellow physics graduate students, Rob Shaw, Doyne Farmer, and James Crutchfield. The collective was best known for its work in probing chaotic systems for signs of order.

Around the same time, he worked with Doyne Farmer and other friends in Santa Cruz, California to form the Eudaemons collective, to develop a strategy for beating the roulette wheel using a toe-operated computer. The computer could, in theory, predict in what area a roulette ball would land on a wheel, giving the player a significant statistical advantage over the house. Although the project itself was a success, they ran into practical difficulty employing the technique on-site in Las Vegas casinos. The experiences of Norman, Doyne Farmer, and crew were later chronicled in the book The Eudaemonic Pie (1985) by Thomas Bass. Their experience was also chronicled on the History Channel television series "Breaking Vegas."

In 1982, Packard won a NATO post-doctoral fellowship to study at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques in Bures-sur-Yvette, France. One year later, he joined the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study. At the IAS, he worked with colleagues Stephen Wolfram and Rob Shaw to explain complex systems and the tendency for matter to organize itself. Subsequently, Packard has made contributions to the field of Artificial Life, including the definition of Evolutionary Activity.

Center for Complex Systems Research
In 1985 Packard moved with Wolfram to the physics department of the University of Illinois, where they founded the Center for Complex Systems Research.

Santa Fe Institute
Packard was involved with the Santa Fe Institute over many years, serving in several capacities including External Professor and member of the chair of the Science Steering Committee.

Prediction Company
In the spring of 1985, Packard and Doyne Farmer realized that their research in fields such as chaos, Genetic Algorithms and cellular automata could help build a system for predicting the stock market. Five years later they founded Prediction Company, a small company in Santa Fe, NM dedicated to making a model for predicting what a market would do during a certain time period. A brief outline of some of the genetic algorithm techniques he used in the early days is presented in chapter 2 of reference 5 below. In 2004, Prediction Company received the "Employer of Choice" award in the small size category for the State of New Mexico. Prediction Company was eventually acquired by UBS.

European Center for Living Technology
In 2004, Packard was one of the founders of the European Centre for Living Technology (ECLT), hosted by the University of Venice, Ca' Foscari. The ECLT received its first funding from PACE (Programmable Artificial Cell Evolution), a project coordinated by John S. McCaskill and funded by the European Union. From its inception in 2004 and for over a decade Packard has served on its science board, and as co-director.

ProtoLife
While in Venice, Packard founded ProtoLife, the first company to capitalize on living technology. The goal of the company is to optimize complex chemical reactions and other complex processes. The company was launched in Venice, Italy, and is currently based in San Francisco having changed name to Daptics (see below).

Lucky Sort
In 2011 Packard joined Lucky Sort as Chief Science Officer. At Lucky Sort he guides research to discover and display structure in high volume text data streams. Lucky Sort was eventually acquired by Twitter.

Daptics
In 2018, Packard launched a web-based optimization and discovery tool on the internet (a form of Software as a Service), changing the company name from ProtoLife to Daptics, to better reflect its new focus. The goal of the company is to optimize complex chemical reactions and other complex processes. The company is currently based in San Francisco.

Norifumi Abe

Norifumi "Norick" Abe (阿部典史), or Norick Abe (ノリック・アベ) was a Japanese professional motorcycle road racer who was previously a 500 cc/MotoGP rider. He died in a road traffic crash in October 2007.

Career
Abe was born to Mitsuo Abe (阿部光雄), a paved flat track rider, in Tokyo. When he was eleven, Abe began racing minibikes and spent his earlier career competing in motocross. He turned to road racing when he was fifteen and also competed in the United States. In 1992, Abe was the runner up in the 250 cc category for the domestic National A championship. The following year at the All Japan Road Race Championship, Abe won the 500 cc title in the category's final year and became the youngest title winner.

In 1994, while racing in his home championship, Abe had a chance to race at the 1994 Japanese Grand Prix as a "wild card". He shocked the field by challenging for the win until three laps from the finish before falling off. Abe's performance impressed Kenny Roberts's Yamaha team, and was offered two more rides that year which yielded two sixth places and earned him a full-time Grand Prix ride for the 1995 season. This performance also so impressed a 14-year-old Valentino Rossi, that he took on the nickname "Rossifumi" and used it in his early career in deference to such a committed and spectacular racer.

Abe took his first podium finish in 1995, and his first win and fifth overall in the championship a year later. His team in 1997 was run by another former champion, Wayne Rainey, and Abe took regular points finishes over the next two seasons, including four podiums. He joined the d'Antin Antena 3 team in 1999, won at Rio de Janeiro that year, and won again at Suzuka a year later. Abe spent two seasons on less competitive machinery, yet his race results ensured his 100% record of top 10 championship finishes continued.

However, 2002 was the first year of MotoGP regulations, and Abe did not get on well with the four-stroke machinery. As such, when D'Antin switched over to the Yamaha YZR-M1 for 2003, Abe left the team and acted as a factory test rider and occasional wild card racer for Yamaha. He got another chance on the Tech3 Yamaha team for 2004, but was unsuccessful, and was moved to Yamaha's returning Superbike World Championship squad for 2005. He continued to race there in 2006 but failed to score a podium in both seasons.

In 2007, Abe competed in the All Japan Superbike Championship, again on a Yamaha.

Death
On October 7, 2007 while riding a 500 cc Yamaha T-Max scooter in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Abe was involved in a traffic crash with a truck, which made an illegal U-turn in front of him, at 6:20 p.m. local time. He was pronounced dead two and a half hours later, at 8:50 p.m., at the hospital where he was taken for treatment.

Personal life
His son Maiki is also a motorcycle racer who competes in All Japan Road Race Championship. He attended Yamaha VR46 Mastercamp training at Valentino Rossi's ranch in Tavullia, Italy, accompanied by his grandfather Mitsuo. In 2023, his son joined VFT Racing Yamaha to compete in the Supersport World Championship.
