Talk:Car-free days

Obvious bias
Even as someone who would probably be classed as an "addict", these lines seem pretty biased against car free days to me: "As often as not this meant thrusting the poor souls into a no-choice situation, at least for a time. In this particular instance the proposed "treatment" was to find an answer to the following question in three main parts:" Emphasis is mine. 75.150.104.17 (talk) 17:06, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge
Carfree day is another article that describes this day. Anyone interested in merging the two, please do so. --Howcheng 21:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Today I made various changes that I felt would help to remove biased statements in the article. Most notably, I amended a section on the definition of "car free" and removed a section that was basically one person's assessment of car free days over the past decade, which has no place in an encyclopedia definition. - Randall Ghent (Aug. 15, 2006)

Cleanup
This article needs a serious cleanup and reorganization. For example, using references.Canaima 01:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Inappropriate picture
The picture accompanying this article (left) is of a main road full of cars. What has that got to do with Car Free Days? Can somebody provide a better photo? TiffaF 13:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Tiffa, in Bogotá, since the Car Free Day is held on Thursday, public transportation, including taxis (which are yellow here), are allowed. Anyway, I don't know if this picture (right) maybe more appropriate. --Julián Ortega - drop me a message 20:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

so in Bogota, taxis are not cars? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.12.36 (talk) 02:52, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I for one do much perfer the option provided by Julián Ortega. It seems much more indicative of the events.  I'm going to change it.  --Keithonearth (talk) 06:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Ungrammatical title
Shouldn't that be "Car-Free Day" (with a hyphen), to avoid the implication that Europe and Canada are giving away free cars? See WP:HYPHEN, paragraph 3: "Sometimes the hyphen helps with disambiguation (little-used car, not a reference to the size of a used car)." Unimaginative Username 22:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Original Research
This article needs references, that does not mean that it is entirely or largely original research. A recent edit deleted almost the entire article, claiming it was all original research. I don't want to see that happen, and it's the opposite of progress. The OR tag was only added two days ago by an anon, with no notes explaining it here. I think there may be some OR mixed in with this article, but it's certainly not the main content. It is far to soon to delete the entire page. I think the article contains a great deal of good information, and while it needs improvements, such improvements are do-able. So I reverted the edit. Please talk about it here before making major changes like deleting an entire article's content.--Keithonearth (talk) 18:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

OR
This article is full of original research. Since my removing of the original research was contested, I have now placed citation needed tags, at the end of every paragraph. If in one week, no efforts to place any references, where they were asked, the information will be removed. I am willing to give more time, only if references are being added. warrior 4321  15:37, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

 * This article definitely needs some more citations, it would be a better article with them. However your approach, User:Warrior4321, to getting more citations by tagging every non-contentious statement in the article seems the opposite of constructive.  Your 80  tags in an article of this length is truly and extremely excessive.  And your whole approach seems to me to be very non-collaborative.  Sure we are all trying to make wikipedia better, but laying down arbitrary deadlines doesn't help others do a better job and it doesn't help this article get better.  (nor does deleting the entior article as you've done in the past)  --Keithonearth (talk) 17:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

In the unreferenced temple, it clearly says that unsourced material may be challenged and removed. I have pointed out, which paragraphs and materials need citations. I have not given any unreasonable deadlines, and if you feel that you need more time to add citations, I stated I would give more time. However, not giving a deadline means that the challenged unsourced material could stay forever. This article contains a whole load of original research : Who has said this? It would seem that the author of the article has written this in their own personal view of the event. Therefore, I tried to remove the original research. Since, it was contested, provide citations for the unreferenced material or it goes. I am flexible on the amount of time provided, but only if references are actually being located. It doesn't make sense to just keep on waiting for references, if they will not come. Therefore, it can be removed, and when someone wants to add the references, they can add the information again. warrior 4321  17:52, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) In the how it works section, there is text like
 * 2) To spend one carefully prepared day without cars.
 * 3)  Is it possible to get drivers out of their cars in one or more cities...
 * 4) Carfree days are also held in many US cities, such as Portland, Or., and in Japan

 * agree with comments by Keithonearth - the article needs a lot of improvement but contributions by User:Warrior4321 were not nearly constructive. In some occasions tags  were placed after links to other wikipedia pages which provided references, such as: In town, without my car!. In other instances each line of a paragraph was taged although is evident that the information is from one source, since the lines are bullet points of a list. I suggest the best way forward is to improve the article by adding meaningful information and improving its structure concomitantly with cleanup. Elekhh (talk) 05:05, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

 * The two headers at the top of the article are more than enough to see that this article needs work, a tag on every sentence is unnecessary, so I've gone ahead and removed them.  I'd like to see this article move forward with cooperation from all editors.--Keithonearth (talk) 05:45, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep The article and its links speak for themselves. PAR 23:05, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, if it's a Lagerstätte then it's certainly notable. Lots of ordinary geographical/geological features have articles anyway, don't they? Should be recapitalized "Emu Bay Shale" though. DopefishJustin (･∀･) 02:12, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, much more needs to be written of course, but there is no reason not to have an article on an individual formation. In fact I plan to create individual articles on the various formations that make up the Colorado Plateau. The reason: I'm tired of repeating the same level of detail for each geology of ... article for the region. Different formations have different extents and crop out in different areas so any one place may share some formations: geology of the Capitol Reef area, geology of the Canyonlands area, and geology of the Zion and Kolob canyons area all share some, but not all, formations. Having separate full-sized articles on each formation means that I can have a summary in the geology of ... article that is specific to that particular area (formations have different thicknesses in different areas and are made of different combinations of various members; even those members have area-specific features). --mav 04:27, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. -Splash talk 23:27, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

List of songs with brackets in their titles
List is becoming unmaintainable.
 * There is obviously thousands of songs with brackets in the title (official or not). Delete (unsigned comment from anon)
 * Keep What about all the other lists of songs. I think the list is a bit odd but someone may have a use for it. See also Articles for deletion/List of song titles phrased as questions. CambridgeBayWeather 21:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- unmaintainable. Title is also misleading to some English speakers (particularly USians) -- the proper type of brackets is parentheses. Haikupoet 02:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong keep per previous vfd. Also invalid nomination by anon.  Grue  16:50, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - the previous VFD decided to keep the page, so why go back over old ground? I find it very interesting, and from the number of contributions we've had it's obvious that others do too. David 5000 18:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep when will you deletionists start doing something constructive like creating interesting pages, not deleting them? Unusual titles such as "All the Young Punks (New Boots and Contracts)", "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)", "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)" and "You Can Make Me Dance Sing Or Anything (Even Take The Dog For A Walk, Mend A Fuse, Fold Away The Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings)" are inherently interesting. Dmn  € Դմն 18:07, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I advise you to look at Articles for deletion/List of song titles phrased as questions too.
 * Keep. You're having a laugh, aren't you?  If this page was worthless, it wouldn't have so many contributors.  Besides, it's come up for deletion before and we voted to keep it. Deb 18:24, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per previous V/AfD. Too many contributors to be worthless. --Cel e stianpower hablamé 18:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per previous VFD vote. -SocratesJedi | Talk 19:15, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per previous vote. I would have voted to delete this the first time (if I was around), but we have to live with old votes, otherwise every article can get renominated any number of times.  Repeat AFDs are a waste of time.    --rob 20:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep:Yes, this page wouldn't normally be in an encyclopedia (apart from it being a list), but I feel that it has been on this website long enough that it still deserves a place here (just to let you know where here is). Also, if you delete this list, all the other song lists are going to get deleted too. I don't think that should happen not only because I think they're interesting, but also because someone might need them for something. I know that I needed the List of protest songs page for a High School English project. So I feel that this page should be kept. RENTASTRAWBERRY  FOR LET?  röck  22:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, harmless cruft. Weird that anyone could think this a strong keep, though. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:48, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - not unmaintainable and obviously interesting to at least some people. sjorford #£@%&$?!  12:48, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please why do people keep saying that lists are not maintainable we have been maintaining many lists for years already Yuckfoo 21:42, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * keep serves to satisfy the curiousity of others, while there is still other music lists, if this one goes, the others should too. lists of bands too should go to since they are useless with your definition.
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Chris Ransdell
A tag has been placed on Chris Ransdell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Template:WV Highways
A group of West Virginian's have been working on this, but some outside the state are opposed to our efforts, and are asking for it to be deleted. Any support you can give would be welcome.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion#Template:WV_Highways

West Virginia images
Hi Tonage. Your West Virginia images are interesting and I'd like to add them to Category:Images of West Virginia, but they do not have a licensing statement. If your intention was to freely license your West Virginia images, would you mind adding a licensing statement to clarify how your images can be used? Thanks in advance. Mike Dillon 03:32, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Charlestonpic1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Charlestonpic1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image Tagging Image:Charlestonpic2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Charlestonpic2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Charlestonpic1.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Charlestonpic1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 09:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Adbuilding.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Adbuilding.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 02:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

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

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 18:05, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Maneka2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Maneka2.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Image source problem with Image:1sp7.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:1sp7.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:07, 5 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 14:07, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Proposed deletion of Thatiparthi Jeevan Reddy

The article Thatiparthi Jeevan Reddy has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * There are no sources available to verify the claims to notability made in this article. Fails WP:GNG at the moment

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Student Editor Revisions & Edits to Article
Link to Sandbox: User: DorkyPotatoGang/sandbox

I have renamed the facts section to the Background and expanded on it. As well as developed the Lead and Judgment section. I ended the article with a new section called Significance. I plan to implement my Lead today, Nov. 15th 2022, and get advised by my instructor for the implementing of the rest. I took bits of the current article, but it has mostly been rewritten and sources were added. I am still shaky on how to properly cite things with Wikipedia, but I hope we can work together on this.

 * Update-I have implemented all of my additions to the article.
 * If you have any questions or want to discuss my changes, feel free to reach out. If you found mistakes or think there are places that could be expanded further. I would gladly see any additions you have for the article.  DorkyPotatoGang (talk) 02:18, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:48, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:25, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Phos-Chek

Phos-Chek is a brand of long-term fire retardants, class A foams, and gels manufactured by Perimeter Solutions, headquartered in Clayton, Missouri, United States.

Fire retardants

Phos-Chek fire retardants are manufactured as dry powders or as concentrated liquids and diluted with water prior to use. The retardant is applied ahead of wildfires to homes and vegetation by ground crews and aerial firefighting units, either fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft. As of 2022, Phos-Chek LC-95A is the most used fire retardant in the world.

Phos-Chek is produced in several colors, including off-white, red iron oxide, and a fugitive mixture that is red when dispersed but gradually fades to an earth-tone when exposed to sunlight. The red color aids aircrews in targeting drops of retardant.

Some of the main components of Phos-Chek retardants include ammonium polyphosphate, diammonium phosphate, diammonium sulfate, monoammonium phosphate, attapulgus clay, guar gum (or a derivative of guar gum), and trade secret performance additives. Fire retardants are manufactured as several different formulations with varying proportions of the above components.

Potential Harms
Concerns have been raised that Phos-Chek harms fish and acquatic life; and that it causes long-term effects on soils, insects, and microbiology. A group based in Oregon called Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics sued the U.S. Forest Service, claiming the service violated the Clean Water Act by spraying Phos Check without assessing the product's harmful effects on waterways. In 2023, a Montana judge agreed that the USFS was violating the Clean Water Act, but declined to prohibit the agency from using Phos Check, instead requiring the USFS to apply for a permit from the EPA, but permitting USFS to continue using the product in the meantime.

The phosphate and sulfate salts act as fire retardants and prevent combustion of cellulosic materials. Phosphate can also act as a fertilizer once the fire danger has passed. Guar gum and clay are thickening agents to prevent dispersal of the retardant after it is dropped from the plane. Other ingredients include corrosion inhibitors and flow conditioners. Phos-Chek and other retardants based on ammonium phosphate may cause algae blooms in bodies of water when washed downstream and may increase the growth of invasive plant species.

Class A foam
Phos-Chek WD-881 is a mixture of anionic surfactants, foam stabilizers, and solvents including hexylene glycol. As a fire-fighting foam, it is used as a short-term fire suppressant.

History
The first Phos-Chek retardant product was available in 1962, and was the first phosphate-based fire retardant approved by the United States Forest Service. The Phos-Chek brand belonged to the Monsanto Company until 1998, when ownership was transferred to Solutia Inc. In 2000, Astaris LLC acquired the Phos-Chek name. In November 2005, Astaris LLC was acquired by Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL), and the Phos-Chek brand was renamed "PHOS-CHEK Fire Safety Group" and assigned to the Performance Products division of ICL (ICL PPLP). In 2018, private investment firm SK Capital acquired the Fire Safety and Oil Additives businesses of ICL and renamed it Perimeter Solutions, and the PHOS-CHEK brand was acquired with the business.

Manufacturing
The Airbase Service Center, located in Post Falls, Idaho supports all bulk bases (equipment and product support to agency operated bases), SEAT bases (equipment and product support for Single Engine Air Tanker Bases), and Portable Base Operations (mobile rotor and fixed-wing bases). Various equipment maintenance and base rebuilds are performed from this location. Fabrication of liquid concentrate tanks, batch mixers, Hopper Units, and various other equipment is performed from this location.

He is currently Chair of the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication in the Centre for Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge. On 27 May 2020 he joined the board of the UK Statistics Authority as a non-executive director for a period of three years, a term which was extended through to 2026.

Early life and education
Spiegelhalter was born on 16 August 1953. He was educated at Barnstaple Grammar School, a state grammar school in Barnstaple, Devon, from 1963 to 1970. He then studied mathematics at Keble College, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1974. He moved to University College London, where he gained his Master of Science (MSc) degree in statistics in 1975 and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in mathematical statistics in 1978. His doctoral thesis was titled "Adaptive Inference Using Finite Mixture Models", and was supervised by Adrian Smith.

Career
Spiegelhalter was research assistant in Brunel University in 1976 and then visiting lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, 1977–78. After his PhD, he was a research assistant for the Royal College of Physicians; he was based at the University of Nottingham, where his PhD supervisor, Adrian Smith, had been appointed a professor.

From 1981 he was at the Medical Research Council Biostatistics Unit at Cambridge. He has been an honorary lecturer at the University of Hong Kong since 1991. He has also been a consultant for GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and the World Anti-Doping Agency. He played a leading role in the public inquiries into children's heart surgery at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, the murders by Harold Shipman, the independent inquiry on Mid Staffs Trust and, more recently, the infected blood inquiry.

Between 2007 and 2012 he divided his work between the Cambridge Statistical Laboratory (three-fifths) and the Medical Research Council Biostatistics Unit (two-fifths). He left the MRC in March 2012 and worked full-time at the Statistical Laboratory as the Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk until his retirement. He remained chair of the Winton Centre until it closed in 2023. As of 2012 Spiegelhalter has supervised 7 PhD students.

In 2012, Spiegelhalter hosted the BBC Four documentary Tails You Win: The Science of Chance which described the application of probability in everyday life. He also presented a 2013 Cambridge Science Festival talk, How to Spot a Shabby Statistic at the Babbage Lecture Theatre in Cambridge.

He was elected as President of the Royal Statistical Society, and took up the position on 1 January 2017. His Presidential address later that year took as its subject Trust in Numbers.

In March 2020 Spiegelhalter launched a podcast called Risky Talk where he interviews experts in risk and evidence communication on topics like genetics, nutrition, climate change and immigration. He appeared on BBC Desert Island Discs on 6 February 2022.

Research
Spiegelhalter's research interests are in statistics including
 * Bayesian approach to clinical trials, expert systems and complex modelling and epidemiology.
 * Graphical models of conditional independence. He wrote several papers in the 1980s that showed how probability could be incorporated into expert systems, a problem that seemed intractable at the time. Spiegelhalter showed that while frequentist probability did not lend itself to expert systems, Bayesian probability most certainly did.
 * Statistical software. In the 1990s Spiegelhalter led the Medical Research Council team that developed WinBUGS ("Bayesian analysis Using Gibbs Sampling"), a statistical-modelling system allowing hierarchical prior distributions. WinBUGS and its successor OpenBUGS specifies graphical models using acyclic directed graphs whose nodes are random variables, which are updated using Gibbs sampling (an updating method for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation). Earlier Bayesian software had required that the probability distribution for the observed data be an exponential family and that the prior be its conjugate distribution. Allowing flexible choices of prior distributions simplified hierarchical modelling and helped to promote multilevel models, which became widely used in epidemiology and education.
 * General issues in clinical trials, including cluster randomisation, meta-analysis and ethical monitoring.
 * Monitoring and comparing clinical and public-health outcomes and their associated publication as performance indicators.
 * Public understanding of risk, including promoting concepts such as the micromort (a one in a million chance of death) and microlife (a 30-minute reduction of life expectancy). Media reporting of statistics, risk and probability and the wider conception of uncertainty as going beyond what is measured to model uncertainty, the unknown and the unmeasurable.

Thomas Anderton

Thomas Anderton (1611 – 9 October 1671) was an English Benedictine.

He was born in Lancashire, the sixth son of William Anderton, Esq., of Euxton, and Isabel, daughter of William Hancock of Pendle Hall, Lower Higham, Padiham, Lancaster. Both his parents remained Catholic in spite of persecution.

Thomas made his profession in 1630, at the Benedictine monastery of St. Edmund, in Paris, and in 1636 was ordained priest, and successively became Novice-Master, Sub-Prior, and, in 1640, Prior of St. Edmund's. In 1641 he was Definitor, and in 1657 secretary to the chapter. From 1661 to 1666 he was Prior of St. Benedict's monastery at Saint Malo, and again Prior of St. Edmund's in Paris, from 1668 to 1669.

Sent out on the English mission, he died at Saxton Hall in Yorkshire.

Virginia Lancers

The Virginia Lancers  were a minor league hockey team that played in several leagues from 1983 until 1990. Their home ice was the Vinton Sports Complex, which held 3400 people.

Atlantic Coast Hockey League (1983–1987)
The Virginia Lancers were founded as the result of the Nashville South Stars relocating in December 1983, halfway into the 1982–83 season of the ACHL. They continued to play in the ACHL from 1983 until 1987. John Tortorella, a former Lancer forward, stepped behind the bench in the 1986–87 season, leading the team to the league's best record and the Bob Payne Trophy, which is given to the team who wins the league championship.

All-American Hockey League (1987–1988)
The Lancers transferred to the All-American Hockey League (AAHL) for the 1987-88 season. Coach Tortorella led the team to a 37-5-0-1 record and the best record in the league, but they lost the league championship to Carolina Thunderbirds. After the season, both Virginia and Carolina left the league to form the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL), along with the newly-formed Johnstown Chiefs and the AAHL folded a season later.

East Coast Hockey League (1988–1990)
With a new coach and a new league, the Lancers found themselves outside of the postseason in their initial ECHL season. Finishing 22-30-8 put them in fifth place out of five teams. The Lancers found a replacement coach in Dave Allison for the 1989 season, and the team responded by finishing 36-18-6 with 76 points. The Lancers finished in third place out of four teams and faced fourth place Greensboro Monarchs in the playoffs. The Lancers lost the best-of-five series three games to one, which included back to back losses at Greensboro in Games 3 and 4.

Name changes and relocation (1990–present)
Prior to the 1990–1991 season, the name was changed to the Roanoke Valley Rebels. They used this name for two seasons, and then became the Roanoke Valley Rampage for the 1992–93 season. Despite the name changes, the franchise remained in the same location throughout.

After the 1992–93 season, the franchise was moved to Alabama and became the Huntsville Blast. The Blast remained in Huntsville for one season before transferring to Tallahassee and being renamed the Tallahassee Tiger Sharks, where they played until the 2000–01 season. The Tiger Sharks ceased operations in 2001 but leased the team to the Macon Sports Group in Macon, Georgia and played as the Macon Whoopee for one season. Poor attendance and lack of corporate sponsorship caused the Whoopee to fold and the rights to the franchise were transferred to what eventually became the Lexington Men O' War. Attendance was also a problem in Lexington and the franchise went dormant in 2003. In 2005, the franchise was transferred and is currently playing as the Utah Grizzlies.

Playoffs

 * 1983–84: Lost to Erie 4-1 in semifinals.
 * 1984–85: Lost to Carolina 4-0 in semifinals.
 * 1985–86: Lost to Erie 4-1 in semifinals.
 * 1986–87: Defeated Carolina 4-1 in semifinals; defeated Mohawk Valley 4-3 to win championship.
 * 1987–88:
 * 1988–89: Did not qualify.
 * 1989–90: Lost to Greensboro 3-1 in quarterfinals.

Notable personnel

 * Pierre Lagace – former Quebec Nordiques and Montreal Canadiens draft pick. Played 38 games for the Nordiques in the World Hockey Association over two seasons.
 * Paul O'Neil – former player-coach who coached the Lancers from 1983–85. Played for the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League and played one game for the Birmingham Bulls of the World Hockey Association.
 * Mario Roberge – former Lancers forward who went on to play 112 games with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League from 1991–1995. Roberge was a member of the 1993 Stanley Cup-winning Canadiens team.
 * John Torchetti – former Lancers forward who has coached in the QMJHL and NHL. He also served as an assistant coach with the Tampa Bay Lightning, interim head coach for the Florida Panthers, interim head coach of the Los Angeles Kings, and as an assistant coach of the Atlanta Thrashers.
 * John Tortorella – former player who coached the team from 1986 to 1988, finishing both seasons with the best record in the league. After leaving the Lancers, he later coached the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League and Tampa Bay Lightning, where he led his teams to their respective championships. He has also coached the New York Rangers, Vancouver Canucks and Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League.
