Talk:List of residential colleges

Structuring the list
This list now (as of October 12, 2005) has 33 items, and that's before the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge are fully added. I think it's already getting a bit monolothic and forbidding. Would it be better to break it down somehow? Let's hear proposals here. JDLH | Talk 17:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

What probably should guide the choice is some idea of what readers will want from this list. Do they want to find a specific college, or see what colleges are at each university? Will they know to use the Find feature of their browser? Should we rely on the university's page to list its own colleges (I believe Yes)?

 * Comment (--Jdlh | Talk 18:41, 23 November 2005 (UTC)): we may want to learn from those lists with featured list status. As of Nov 23, 2005 three of those were: List of NFL champions, List of U.S. states by elevation, and Provinces of Thailand.  What I infer as best practices based on those pages is
 * List represented as a table, with extra information for each entry
 * Use both list and categories

 * Ah, others in Wikipedia have thought about this issue before. See Wikipedia_talk:Categorization/Archive_1 for a good discussion. By the way, it appears to date from a time when the Category mechanism was a bit rawer than it is now, so the Category mechanism may be more usable for us than it appears from this discussion.  See also List, Lists (stand-alone lists), and Categorization.   What I take from this is that lists and categories should co-exist, but that we should invent a Residential College category.  What is the right scope for such a category?  Of what category should it be a sub-category?  --Jdlh  | Talk 08:45, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment. Greetings, all. I'm the author/administrator of the Collegiate Way website on residential colleges (collegiateway.org), and I'm grateful for the link on this page to my own list of residential colleges worldwide. One thing I've found in maintaining my own list is that it's a tough thing to keep up-to-date as pages, names, lists, etc., change so often. One thing you might consider here is just having a list of universities, with links to the individual lists of residential colleges within each one. That way the burden is distributed to the individual college lists associated with each university's main page, which are more likely to be accurate and prepared by people who know the local situations. Another difficulty you may discover of course is that there isn't a hard and fast definition of "residential college" - at some places use the term for what are little more than freshman interest dorms, while at other institutions the residential colleges are old, independent, and permanent corporations in their own right. As the residential college idea has become more popular, more and more places want to claim they have "residential colleges" even if all they really have is a freshman dorm with a pizza party once a month. Further, some clear examples of residential college systems, such as the Houses at Harvard, don't use the term "residential college" at all. My own list is built around the notion of residential colleges as permanent, cross-sectional (non-thematic and largely non-curricular), faculty-led residential societies within larger universities, generally having about 300-600 members. (And I consider the word member to be very important: dorms have residents, colleges have members.) You may find some of the material on the Collegiate Way website helpful as you continue to work on these pages. Good luck and thanks for these valuable contributions.

Proposal: bullet points alphabetical by University, list of colleges separated by commas.
JDLH | Talk 17:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC) That would be:
 * Colleges at the University of California, San Diego (United States): Earl Warren College, Eleanor Roosevelt College, John Muir College, Roger Revelle College, Thurgood Marshall College
 * Colleges at the University of California, Santa Cruz (United States): College Eight, College Nine, College Ten, Cowell College, Crown College, Kresge College, Merrill College, Oakes College, Porter College, Sixth College, Stevenson College
 * Colleges at the University of Virginia (United States): Brown College at Monroe Hill, Hereford College, International Residential College
 * Colleges at the University of Oxford (United Kingdom): Queens College, etc.
 * Colleges at the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom): Queens' College, etc.
 * Colleges at Rice University (United States): Brown College, Hanszen College, Jones College, Lovett College, Martel College, Sid Richardson College, Wiess College, Will Rice College
 * Colleges at universities in Canada:
 * at the University of British Columbia: Green College, St. John's College
 * at the University of Toronto: Massey College

Proposal: format as table
Format the list as a table with two or three columns: college name, university name, (maybe country name). JDLH | Talk 17:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Proposal: make a Category for Residential College articles
There is some mechanism, I think it is called "Categories", by which we drop a tag in each article about a Residential College, and Wikimedia creates a category page that lists all the articles in that category in alphabetical order divided into sections by initial letter. If we had the category page, maybe we wouldn't need to maintain this list page at all. Anybody have experience with using a Category to keep track of a list of articles compared to maintaining a list page like this? JDLH | Talk 17:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Links
Can someone check out the links and maybe disambiguate them? I noticed that many of the Australian colleges lead to disambiguation pages. I'll have a go if I have time. cyclosarin 23:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Australia list entries disambiguated. --Jdlh | Talk 07:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Canada list entries disambiguated. --Jdlh | Talk 07:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Singapore list entries disambiguated (took zero work). --Jdlh | Talk 07:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * United Kingdom list entries disambiguated. Only two needed to change. --Jdlh | Talk 07:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * new United Kingdom entries for colleges at Cambridge, York, and Lancaster disambiguated. United Kingdom list should still be clean. Need work on the United States list. --Jdlh  | Talk 19:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Checked all United States entries. None led to disambiguation pages, but a couple led to redirects. Since the entire article has now been checked, I'm removing the "cleanup-list" tag. --Jdlh  | Talk 23:05, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Is the School of Northeast Asian Studies, University of Incheon a residential college?
On 03:13, October 18, 2007, anonymous editor 211.119.253.3 added an entry for the School of Northeast Asian Studies, University of Incheon. There's very little in the University of Incheon article about the School of Northeast Asian Studies, especially about it being a residential college. In the absence of evidence, I'm inclined to believe that adding that entry to this list was a misunderstanding. So I'm removing it (along with the Republic of Korea section heading) until more evidence comes along. Below is the text I removed. --Jdlh | Talk 22:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

== Republic of Korea== * School of Northeast Asian Studies, University of Incheon

Bristol Halls of Residence
Why are three halls of residence at Bristol included on this list? From their Wikipedia entries, they are definitely halls of residence (dormitories) not colleges, and Bristol makes no claim to them being colleges (unlike all the other UK colleges within universities). Unless there is some evidence, they should be removed.Robminchin (talk) 06:55, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Westville, South Carolina

Westville is an unincorporated community in Kershaw County, South Carolina, United States. It is part of the Columbia, South Carolina Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Before Westville got its name, it was known only as the West Section. In 1888, resident John C. West applied for the establishment of a post office and became the first postmaster. This post office officially changed its name to Westville in 1890.

Westville is located on U.S. Route 521, 16 miles north of Camden. The Westville Fire Station opened in 1976, and the Westville fire tower is one of the few still in use throughout the state of South Carolina.

Mongolian Nuclear-Weapons-Free Status

[[Image:nwfz.svg|thumb|400px|

]]

Mongolia does not have nuclear weapons.

The initiative to become a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone was well received by Mongolia's neighbors, the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China (both nuclear weapons states), as well as by the world community at large, despite being somewhat unorthodox. Previously, NWFZs had been composed of a group of countries, although the possibility of single-state zones had been long recognized. United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3261 F of December 9, 1974, states that "obligations relating to the establishment of nuclear-weapon-free zones may be assumed not only by groups of states, including entire continents or large geographical regions, but also by small groups of States and even individual countries."

Mongolia's drive for international recognition yielded fruit in Resolution 53/77 D which was put it on the agenda for the next meeting and adopted by 27th meeting of the General Assembly (without a vote) on December 4, 1998, and said "The General Assembly ... Welcomes the declaration by Mongolia of its nuclear-weapon-free status".

On February 28, 2000, the Mongolian ambassador to the United Nations Jargalsaikhan Enkhsaikhan presented a letter  outlining the Mongolian de-nuclearization law, which was then circulated as A/55/56 S/2000/160. At this stage, it appears that the international recognition of Mongolia's nuclear-weapons-free status is complete.

During two meetings held in February and in July 2006, particular attention was paid to Mongolia's economic and ecological vulnerabilities and security, and the implementation of General Assembly resolution 59/73.

Talk:Japanese nationalist thinking in the Meiji era

Copyediting needed
This article has been created using a very poor machine translation. I just have tried to "copyedit" it, but there is more here than any copyediting might accomplish: the syntax is a mess -- the meanings are completely garbled. The article needs to be entirely rewritten, by someone well-acquainted with the history rather than simply by someone who knows English and editing well.

This said, the article could be a very interesting one. It clearly is intended to answer a very interesting and increasingly-important question, about the origins of nationalist thinking which has caused problems for Japan in its past and may be resurgent again today.

So, although the article makes almost no sense in English, in its present syntactical form, instead of simply deleting it I am going to find some sort of warning template -- in addition to the copyedit template -- and put it in at the top and hope that somebody will take the trouble to do a rewrite. I'd like very much to read the rewrite myself, as the topic to me seems very timely and interesting.

--Kessler 16:53, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You assert 'machine translation'. But you are wrong about that. See User:Charles Matthews/Imperial Japan for the full story. By all means add clean-up tags. That's what should be done in these cases. Charles Matthews 18:18, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I cleaned up the first half of the article, except for two places which I couldn't decipher... Can the original author offer me some insight please.  Thank you.  MCM 01:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

NPOV
I added the NPOV tag. User:Reader72 takes his "inspiration" from Japanese extreme-right webpages. Not only do we have to correct his obfuscated English, he also believes everything that is written on these pages and dumps it on Wikipedia. Of course we need an article on nationalism in Meiji Japan, but the only way to save this one here is delete and complete rewrite. -- Mkill 23:24, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * My impression is that this is anti-right. I find it more damning than praiseful in its overall thrust. Or is that my mistaken impression?

Bathrobe 14:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Tokugawa Yoshinobu info
I know I'm a newbie, but didn't Tokugawa Yoshinobu resign his post as shogun and accecpt the Restoration without too much of a fuss? And I think there are several other factual problems with this article. Tell me if I'm wrong please. MCM 01:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

KIIT-CD

KIIT-CD (channel 11) is a low-power, Class A television station in North Platte, Nebraska, United States, affiliated with the Fox network. It is owned by Gray Television alongside NBC affiliate KNOP-TV (channel 2) and low-power CBS affiliate KNPL-LD (channel 10). The three stations share studios on South Dewey Street in downtown North Platte; KIIT-CD's transmitter is located on US 83 in the northern part of the city; master control and some internal operations are based at the studios of co-owned KOLN in Lincoln.

Although KIIT broadcasts a digital signal, it is limited to the immediate North Platte area. It is therefore simulcast in high definition on KNOP's second digital subchannel. Fox programming also airs in the area on Lincoln's KFXL-TV, which is carried on KWNB's subchannel.

History
From the grant of its original construction permit on December 12, 1994, through June 26, 2014, the station was assigned the translator-style call sign of K11TW, and retained it even after obtaining Class A status in 2001. However, outside of Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-required station identification, the station has always called itself "KIIT" on the air. It signed on the air on August 28, 1995, as a UPN affiliate; it switched to Fox on January 22, 2001. Prior to K11TW's switch to Fox, KHGI-TV served as a secondary affiliate of the network for the purposes of carrying its sports programming.

K11TW was originally owned by North Platte Television, longtime owner of KNOP-TV; the company was reorganized as Greater Nebraska Television after the 1997 purchase of KHAS-TV in Hastings. Greater Nebraska Television sold its stations, including K11TW and KNOP, to Hoak Media in December 2005; the sale followed the death of majority shareholder Richard Shively. On November 20, 2013, Hoak Media announced the sale of most of its stations, including K11TW and KNOP-TV, to Gray Television, making them sister stations to KNPL; the sale was completed on June 13, 2014.

Pok Fu Lam Road

Pok Fu Lam Road, or Pokfulam Road, is a four-lane road in Hong Kong. Built on Hong Kong Island, the road runs between Sai Ying Pun and Wah Fu, through Pok Fu Lam.

Description
It runs south from Sai Ying Pun, passing The University of Hong Kong along the Belcher's, with a road junction with Pokfield Road. The vegetation in this area is largely preserved, unlike many roads in the urban built-up areas of Hong Kong. Further south, the Pok Fu Lam playground, a public playground, is located near the junction with Mount Davis Road in Mount Davis. Down the road, Queen Mary Hospital, a large hospital complex, borders the junction with Sassoon Road and Bisney Road. Recently, the junction was renovated into a large intersection with highway loops, to ease traffic congestion. Further down the road, there is a large reservoir, a school for the blind, a vocational education centre and two large housing complexes: Chi Fu Fa Yuen and Pokfulam Gardens. The road ends at the Pokfulam Fire Station.

Spelling
The road name is always spelled as Three words Pok Fu Lam Road (see road sign above), and not Pokfulam Road.

Along Pok Fu Lam Road is a property development, The Belcher's, built in 2000–2001.

Sundadanio

Sundadanio is a genus of cyprinid fishes from freshwater habitats, typically peat swamps and blackwater streams, in Borneo and Sumatra (as well as nearby smaller islands) in southeast Asia. At up to 2.3 cm in standard length they are very small, but still larger than their close relatives Paedocypris. Species of the two genera are often found together.

Species
There are currently eight recognized species in this genus:

 * Sundadanio atomus Conway, Kottelat & H. H. Tan, 2011
 * Sundadanio axelrodi (Brittan, 1976)
 * Sundadanio echinus Conway, Kottelat & H. H. Tan, 2011
 * Sundadanio gargula Conway, Kottelat & H. H. Tan, 2011

Chicago Picasso

The Chicago Picasso (often just The Picasso) is an untitled monumental sculpture by Pablo Picasso in Daley Plaza in Chicago, Illinois. The 1967 installation of The Picasso, "precipitated an aesthetic shift in civic and urban planning, broadening the idea of public art beyond the commemorative."

The COR-TEN steel structure, dedicated on August 15, 1967, in the civic plaza in the Chicago Loop, is 50 ft tall and weighs 162 ST. The Cubist sculpture by Picasso, who later said that it represented the head of his Afghan Hound, was the first monumental abstract public artwork in Downtown Chicago, and has become a well-known landmark. Publicly accessible, it is known for its inviting jungle gym-like characteristics. Visitors to Daley Plaza can often be seen climbing on and sliding down the base of the sculpture.

The sculpture was commissioned in 1963 by the architects of the Chicago Civic Center (now known as the Richard J. Daley Center), a modernist government office building and courthouse (also clad in COR-TEN), with an open granite-paved plaza. The commission was facilitated by the architect William Hartmann of the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Picasso completed a maquette of the sculpture in 1965, and approved a final model of the sculpture in 1966. The cost of constructing the sculpture was $351,959.17 (equivalent to $3.2 million in 2022 ), paid mostly by three charitable foundations: the Woods Charitable Fund, the Chauncey and Marion Deering McCormick Foundation, and the Field Foundation of Illinois. Picasso himself was offered payment of $100,000 but refused, stating that he wanted to make his work a gift to the city.

History

An architect who worked on the Daley Center project, Richard Bennett, wrote Picasso a poem asking him to make the sculpture. Picasso accepted saying "You know I never accept commissions to do any sort of work, but in this case I am involved in projects for the two great gangster cities" (the other being Marseille, France).

The sculpture was fabricated by the American Bridge Company division of the United States Steel Corporation in Gary, Indiana using COR-TEN steel, before being disassembled and relocated to Chicago. The steel for this statue was rolled in the USS Gary Works 160/210" plate mill, then the largest rolling mill of its kind in the world. Before fabrication of the final steel sculpture was started, a 3.5 meter (~12 feet) tall wooden model was constructed for Picasso to approve; this was eventually sent to the Gary Career Center. Ground was broken in Daley Plaza for the construction of the sculpture on May 25, 1967.

The efforts of the City of Chicago to publicize the sculpture — staging a number of press events before the sculpture was completed, and displaying the maquette without a copyright notice — were cited as evidence in a 1970 U.S. District Court case where the judge ruled that the city's actions had resulted in the sculpture being dedicated to the public domain.

Controversy
The sculpture was initially met with controversy. Before the Picasso sculpture, public sculptural artwork in Chicago was mainly of historical figures. One derisive Chicago City Council alderman, John Hoellen, immediately proposed replacing it with a statue of Chicago Cubs baseball great Ernie Banks, and publicist Algis Budrys erected a giant pickle on the proposed site for his client, Pickle Packers International. There was speculation on the subject, which has ranged from a bird, or aardvark to Picasso's pet Afghan Hound, a baboon head, the Egyptian deity Anubis, or Sylvette David, one of his models.

Newspaper columnist Mike Royko, covering the unveiling of the sculpture, wrote: "Interesting design, I'm sure. But the fact is, it has a long stupid face and looks like some giant insect that is about to eat a smaller, weaker insect." Royko did credit Picasso with understanding the soul of Chicago. "Its eyes are like the eyes of every slum owner who made a buck off the small and weak. And of every building inspector who took a wad from a slum owner to make it all possible. ... You'd think he'd been riding the L all his life."

Inspiration
At a reception for the unveiling of a large piece of public sculpture commissioned by a New York University, Picasso told Stanley Coren that the head of the sculpture is an abstract representation of his Afghan Hound named Kabul.

"Right now I have an Afghan Hound named Kabul. He is elegant, with graceful proportions, and I love the way he moves. I put a representation of his head on a statue that I created for Daley Plaza in Chicago and I do think of him sometimes while I am in my studio."

- Pablo Picasso

Some have speculated it may have been inspired by a French woman, Sylvette David, now known as Lydia Corbett, who posed for Picasso in 1954. Then 19 years old and living in Vallauris, France, Corbett would accompany her artist boyfriend as he delivered chairs made of metal, wood and rope. One of those deliveries was to Picasso, who was struck by her high ponytail and long neck. "He made many portraits of her. At the time, most people thought he was drawing the actress Brigitte Bardot. But in fact, he was inspired by [Corbett]", Picasso's grandson Olivier Widmaier Picasso told the Chicago Sun-Times in 2004.

"I think the Chicago Sculpture was inspired by her", said the grandson, author of Picasso, the Real Family Story. Picasso made 40 works inspired by her, said the grandson, including The Girl Who Said No, reflecting their platonic relationship. The quality of the Picasso sculpture inspired other artists such as Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Claes Oldenburg and Henry Moore.

In the 1970s Jacqueline Picasso explained to Neil Thomas, an Australian lady, it was simply a male baboon viewed from head-on. "Picasso loved the way the creature changed as you viewed it from different angles"; it was part of a continuation of his lifelong inspiration from Africa.

There was an ongoing dialogue between Picasso's sculpture and his painting. A further possible influence could lie in his portraits of Jacqueline herself, made in the early 1960s, specifically Bust of a Woman (Jacqueline) from May 1962 (Zervos XX, 243, Private Collection). The historian Patricia Stratton has made a convincing case for Jacqueline Roque Picasso as the model for the Chicago sculpture.

Local and pop culture
The Picasso was the site of an August 23, 1968, press conference in which Yippies Jerry Rubin, Phil Ochs, and others were arrested after nominating a pig — Pigasus — for president of the United States. This event was held days before the opening of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, which became known for its anti-Vietnam war protests.

The sculpture was mentioned (and appears) in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers during the chase scene leading to the Richard J. Daley Center. It can also be seen briefly in the 1993 film The Fugitive, as Harrison Ford, playing Richard Kimble, and his pursuers run across the plaza, and in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off as people in and under a reviewing stand dance to a song sung by Matthew Broderick, who plays Bueller. The sculpture also makes an appearance in the 1988 film Switching Channels starring Kathleen Turner, Burt Reynolds and Christopher Reeve.

The Chicago Picasso became and continues to be a well-known meeting spot for Chicagoans. Depending on the season and time of the month, there are musical performances, farmers' markets, a Christkindlmarkt, and other Chicago affairs which are held around the Picasso in Daley Plaza.

Talk:Joanna Lumley

Too much about Lumley's charity support
In an article about a person known to the public for her highly successful acting career, I suggest there is too much material about the various charities for which Lumely has worked or which she supports. This is not because I in any way denigrate or try to diminish such work. It simply seems off-topic in this article, and gives the appearance of trying to promote Lumley's causes in Wikipedia. I suggest the charity subheads be reduced to a simple list occupying a single paragraph. Dratman (talk) 04:24, 26 July 2019 (UTC) yes, it does rather begin to sound a bit like a PR piece, doesnt it. even in the personal life section, where you'd want to know more about the person (yes, HP is nothing if not an excellent tabloid presence, but isnt an encyclopedia MEANT to reflect the times of its creation - otherwise how can one gauge its noise level?) we get more PR... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.186.128.95 (talk) 20:02, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Arpi

Arpi (Ἄρποι), Argyrippa (Ἀργύριππα), and Argos Hippium (Ἄργος Ἵππιον) was an ancient city of Apulia, Italy, 16 miles (26 km) west of the sea coast, and 2 miles (3.5 km) north of modern Foggia (next to the modern Arpi Nova). The first name was Argos Hippium then Argyrippa and later Arpi.

Legend attributes Arpi's foundation to Diomedes, and the figure of a horse, which appears on its coins, shows the importance of horse-breeding in early times in the district. Its territory extended to the sea, and Strabo says that from the extent of the city walls one could gather that it had once been one of the greatest cities of Italy.

As a protection against the Samnites, Arpi became an ally of Rome. In the war with Pyrrhus, the Arpani aided Rome with a contingent of 4000 foot and 400 horse. Arpi remained faithful to Rome until Rome's defeat at the battle of Cannae, but the consul Quintus Fabius Maximus, son of the famous Roman dictator Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, captured it in 213 B.C., and it never recovered its former importance. No Roman inscriptions have, indeed, been found here. Foggia is its medieval representative.

Arpi today consists of a huge D-shaped enclosure, which abuts the Torrente Celone, and is visible both on the ground—as a still upstanding rampart—and in aerial photographs. Its extent was rediscovered by the British archaeologist John Bradford. Between 2005 and 2008, it was the subject of extensive surface finds survey by the UCL Institute of Archaeology Tavoliere-Gargano Prehistory Project, which showed its surface to be littered with Iron Age pottery.

Credit union league

A credit union league or credit union central is cooperative federation for credit unions.

Canada
In Canada, a credit union central is a back-end provider which provides infrastructure such as cheque clearance and online banking to its member institutions. Historically, one credit union central per province served multiple independent local institutions which were too small to economically build all of their own infrastructure to support ATM cashpoints, debit and payment cards, stock and mutual fund brokerage, online banking, wire transfers and cheque clearance. These groups (with the exception of Québec and neighbouring francophone communities, which were served by Desjardins) would in turn join a national group, the Credit Union Central of Canada. That group (and, separately, Desjardins) would then join the Canadian Payments Association, providing its member institutions with access to the clearing house.

While it is nominally possible for an individual credit union to remain outside the credit union central by obtaining their own institution number and purchasing cheque clearing services from one of the big-six banks, the cost of relying on a direct competitor for access is typically high. Even Alterna Bank, a captive online bank owned by Alterna Savings and Credit Union, relies on Central 1 for its online banking and payment clearance infrastructure ― despite legally not being itself a credit union.

Many of the individual provincial-level centrals are disappearing as a result of mergers and amalgamations; the BC and Ontario centrals were merged as Central 1 while the centrals for all four Atlantic provinces were merged as Atlantic Central. The advocacy and trade association roles of the Credit Union Central of Canada have been replaced by the Canadian Credit Union Association, while its role as point of access to the payments clearing system (for institutions and associations outside Quebec and outside the Desjardins movement) has been taken over by Central 1.

The Canadian Central is itself a member of the Canadian Co-operative Association, while Desjardins is a member of the Conseil canadien de la coopération et de la mutualité.

United States
In the United States a credit union league is a state-level trade association for credit unions, which are not-for-profit financial cooperatives. Credit union leagues hold a primary interest in the Credit Union National Association (CUNA).

Many credit union leagues were formed through the efforts of the Credit Union National Extension Bureau in the 1920s. In 1934, Congress enacted the Federal Credit Union Act and the CUNA was formed. The term "league" was employed to denote a mutually supportive organization for the promotion and success of credit unions. Each state in the United States, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Guam, had its own League. State leagues also designed the corporate credit union model, to serve as the "credit union's credit union" by providing financial services independent of the commercial banking industry.

From the 1930s until the 1970s, one of the chief duties of the League system was to promote and help facilitate the chartering of new credit unions. However, increased regulation and higher capitalization requirements, combined with the decline in American manufacturing job creation, virtually ended the formation of new credit unions except in special circumstances.

Leagues also operate for profit "services corporations" which provide services (credit card processing, commercial printing, ATM networks, shared service centers, etc.) to credit unions and to other state leagues.

Consolidation of statewide Leagues began in the late 1980s and accelerated in the 1990s. Also in the 1990s, a move to modernize the names of Leagues also began to happen. In Ohio, for example, the organization became known as the Ohio Credit Union System, with the Ohio Credit Union League becoming just one of four components of the system umbrella.

Leagues also perform the function of lobbying state legislatures for laws that are beneficial to credit unions through the registered lobbyists.

Career highlights
Lee made her Olympics debut for the United States immediately following her senior season at LSU in 2004. In Athens, Greece, Lee qualified for her first career final in international competition as she took seventh place in the 200-meter dash. She also had an impressive performance at the 2004 USA Olympic Trials, moving up in the final stretch while running in lane 1 to place second and win a spot on the Olympic Team.

Lee won a gold medal as part of the women's 4 x 100-meter relay team at the 2005 World Track and Field Championships. Lee also placed 7th in the 100-meter dash at the 2005 World Track and Field Championships

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Lee competed in the 100-meter dash. In her first round heat she placed first in front of Anita Pistone and Guzel Khubbieva in a time of 11.44 to advance to the second round. There she improved her time to 11.08 to finish second behind Sherone Simpson to qualify for the semifinals. In the semifinals, she placed second with a time of 11.06 behind Shelly-Ann Fraser to qualify for the final, in which she placed in fifth position with a time of 11.07 seconds.

Lee earned second place at the 2009 USA Track and Field Championships (just one thousandth of a second behind in-form Carmelita Jeter) and qualified for the 2009 World Championships in Athletics.

A week before the 2009 World Championships, Lee was part of the USA 4 x 100-meter relay team that ran the fastest women's sprint relay in twelve years. Lauryn Williams, Allyson Felix, Lee and Jeter finished with a time of 41.58 seconds, bringing them to eighth on the all-time list.

At the 2009 World Championships, Lee finished 5th in the Semifinals but failed to advance to the finals in the 100-meter dash. Lee finished 4th in the final in 200-meter dash.

Talk:William Rivers Pitt

Delete?
Delete- Who is William Rivers Pitt in American Society? Let me crack open a history book and find his contribution to the United States which would warrant a Wiki entry...... Hmmm, cant find anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.110.84.56 (talk) 23:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

This entry should be deleted. It's little more than a vanity posting, as Pitt is not well-known outside of the Democratic Underground forum.

He's not an "essayist" in the league with Joan Didion or the late Susan Sontag. He's basically an amateur writer trying to score in the big leagues.

There are thousands and thousands of writers out there who are much more well-known but don't get an entry in Wikipedia. SN

Delete. Agreed. This entry should be deleted. Does not fit under the Wikipedia criteria for inclusion of biographies. See (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_inclusion_of_biographies#People_still_alive) 0nslaught 00:03, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

He is a published author. I believe more than 5000 copies of at leat one book were sold, but that should be verified. If he sold that many, he meets the criteria.

Agree- Delete. He is nothing more than a blogger and his books are published through 'vanity press' sources. If Wikipedia includes every self financed author or blogger, it will be utter chaos. This is nothing more than a vanity posting by Pitt.

 * Nonsense. I have some personal beefs with Pitt, I think he arbitrarily and jealously trashed my submissions, but he's a servicibly good commentary writer, and Truth Out is a very good compendium of short-ish liberal news. In the Rove indictment story, I think Leopold was mislead by a source or tried to hit a home run on a pitch in the dirt, and jumped way out on indications that weren't solid. I doubted it when he ran it, but the lust for fame is understandable- it is everything in USA. If you delete this listing you will be like the Soviets making records of non-person vanish- not what Wikipedia is supposed to be. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.238.67.121 (talk • contribs).

DELETE - how on Earth is this nobody remotely worthy of an article. He's an Internet commenter. There are literally tens of millions of people who have equally contributed to discourse. The subject clearly posted this article himself and it is thus the textbook definition of vanity posting. How does this possibly get by Wiki editors? And if you ARE going to insist on keeping the article (for clearly politically biased reasons), how can you possibly justify excluding the Karl Rove indictment fiasco - the single event for which Pitt is most widely known and most easily identified? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.87.122.201 (talk) 19:51, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Also Contains False Information In this site it claims Pitt was Dennis Kucinich's Press Secretary, but on Kucinich's site, it lists otherwise. (http://kucinich.house.gov) No verification can be found Pitt was Kucinich's official Press Secretary- maybe in his own mind or a title he made up because he had a blog about Kucinich http://www.muhajabah.com/muslims4kucinich.

Book Not Listed. The book this author claims to have written (Our Flag Too) is not listed on Amazon and the ISBN listed is not in the ISBN database. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&y=0&isbn=1893956490&x=0
 * He was Kucinich's Press Secretary, as you can clearly see from the following links:, . As the article makes clear, that was only for the 2004 election,so of course he's not listed on the current website.  Also, he did write those books and they were published by an independent publisher, Context Books, which has subsequently gone out of business, which is why you couldn't find the books on sale with your search. That doesn't change the fact that he wrote them and they received major independent reviews of them like the following: . He's also had articles written about him in major newspapers like the following: Add to that his online blogging presence, including his involvement with the Leopold incident, and he's pretty notable.

Adolph vs. Adolf
I had always thought that both were acceptable. I'm not going to start a revert war over a couple of letters, but that's just what I'd grown accustomed to. I guess it's kind of like Osama vs. Usama, etc. Why do homicidal madmen have their names spelled so many different ways?:)

Current TruthOut/Rove Story Controversy
Hey - I realize that the section on the current Pitt debacle regarding his support for the false TruthOut story on the Rove indictment needs to be heavily edited, but it should not be simply deleted. It is currently an Internet-wide scandal and arguably now the thing Pitt is most famous for. Either delete this whole article on Pitt - or keep in the thing he's now most known for. Obviously, clean it up, make it NPOV, and stick to the facts. 172.131.128.169 13:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn't even realize you were trying to create a section on that. It just looks like you've copied and pasted a diary from a website you are trying to promote.  You didn't even remove the tags. And then you spammed the External Links section. If you want to create a section about the controversy, you need to write it in your own words in NPOV as it would be written in any other encyclopedia. I may do it myself if I have time, but I'm going to have to remove what you did until then. Maximusveritas 16:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why you re-inserted that spam without an explanation, but I went ahead and replaced it with an actual paragraph on the controversy. Please do not re-insert that spam into the article again or you will likely be blocked.  The paragraph might have to be changed as new details emerged, so I'll put a current tag on it.  Maximusveritas 19:16, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I replaced the previous version of the Truthout scandal in the article with my own account. The prior one lacked expositional reporting and was mortally truncated. I and my new account are open to factual modifications. St just 19:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Please review Wikipedia's policy on NPOV. Your version is in clear violation of the policy since you are simply providing your opinion and don't even provide any sources. For example, you state that Pitt "intentionally misled" readers, but that is just your opinion.  He could been acting in good faith, but was misled by others. That's just one example, but the entire thing is problematic.  If you feel that you can add something to the version that is currently there, I would encourage you to do so.  Maximusveritas 19:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

There is zero evidemce that Pitt, et al, acted in good faith. Why do you insist on a version that doesn't have an evidentiary basis? I can easily insert three links that bear out my assertions; one, the orginal Leopold/Truthout article, two, any one of Pitt's defensive and blatantly self-serving and irrational 'explanations' for Truthout's, Leopold's and Pitt's now-transparent malfesance, and three, Marc Ash's latest apology, which arrived sans explication or even the allocution that usually follows a request for forgiveness and understanding. Journalistic standards have clearly been breached- blatant ethical violations by any any (ethical) person's standard- by the trio and yet the account you desire spares them the only rational explanation. Why? Here is my version- the one deleted for reasons unclear at this point:

Pitt, in his capacity as articles editor for the on-line blog, Truthout, along with Truthout writer-contributor, Jason Leopold and Truthout director, Marc Ash, intentionally misled Truthout's readers with the publication of an article containing charges known by all three to be false, yet written by Leopold to appear factual.

The Truthout report contained the assertion that Republican political operative and former Whitehouse Assistant Chief of Staff, Karl Rove, had been indicted by a federal grand jury for perjury (sic) and lying to investigators. Within the span of a day, the story was proven to be false. According to Truthout, Rove was indicted on May 12th, 2006 by a grand jury convened by federal prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald. The Truthout article further claimed Rove had been given 24 hours to get his affairs in order before his arrest.

In the week that followed publication of the false report, Leopold, Pitt, and Ash mounted an online defensive attack against disbelieving critics of Truthout's Rove indictment 'scoop'. Following that, a number of increasingly implausible explanations were offered by the three to offset factual evidence put forth by the blogger community on the internet; evidence that directly contridicted the article’s reporting.

One week following publication, and after it became clear the article's basic premise and related assertions were false, Truthout's publisher, Marc Ash, issued an apology to his readers on his website---minus a plausible explanation for his blog's provably false reporting. St just 00:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, there are quite a few other explanations that make more sense. First, their sources could have lied to them or just been mistaken. Second, Leopold could have lied to Pitt.  Third, Leopold and Pitt could have lied to Ash.  Lastly, their story could be right, but the indictment was held up and put under seal.  I'm sure there are plenty of other explanations as well, but the bottom line is that we don't know and to assert one explanation as fact when it is disputed is a violation of the  NPOV policy.

 * I'm trying to keep the assumption that you are acting in good faith here, but if you continue to simply revert to your flawed version (which will violate the 3RR rule), I will have to assume that you are not. Not only does it violate NPOV, it doesn't have any sources (which are required), and it doesn't have the proper Wiki format.

 * So please do not revert back to your version again. Instead, if you have anything NPOV to add, do it to the existing article.  Maximusveritas 01:31, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

the article, as it currently stands, peddles pitt, leopold, and ash as non-complicit players in a fraud of their own making. they are not. they planned, executed and then attempted to cover up their involvement. time wounds all heels- feckless doubters and du/truthout friends, too. St just 02:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * You state, "There is zero evidemce that Pitt, et al, acted in good faith." We don't need to consider the truth of your assessment of the evidence because the article doesn't assert that he acted in good faith.  Nor does it take a position one way or the other on whether he was complicit in a fraud, had guilty knowledge, was an innocent victim, or whatever.  You are entitled to hold your own opinion on those questions but you are not entitled to edit a Wikipedia article so that it adopts your opinion as if it were undeniable truth.

 * You complain that your version has been "deleted for reasons unclear at this point". More than one Wikipedian has urged you to read WP:NPOV and the NPOV tutorial.  Those pages should make the reasons clear.  On DU and similar websites, opinions may be freely expressed.  On Wikipedia, your opinions do not belong in articles, and they belong on the talk page or in edit summaries only to the extent that they relate to discussion about what should be in the article.  The latter point is a guideline.  There's sometimes a certain amount of off-topic commentary, and even clowning around and in-jokes, on the talk pages.  The former point, however, is non-negotiable.  We have zero tolerance for NPOV violations in articles. JamesMLane t c 03:43, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

you can clad a dog in nutria and call it ermine, but it's still a dog and it's still rat fur. the article's current account's expiry has been exceeded. St just 04:17, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

St. Just: How exactly are you missing the point here? Simply stating the facts is sufficient: Pitt - along with Ash and Leopold - peddled a story as fact. When questioned, Pitt vehemently (and vulgurly) defended the article (and that defense should be in this article, by the way!). It is now clear that the story was not factually accurate. Why is there a need to say anything else? Based on those facts, the reader is free to draw an inference here - but suggesting that Pitt "intentionally misled" is NOT based on fact; it is opinion, and politically biased opinion. As was noted above, perhaps he DID lied; perhaps he was lied to; perhaps Rove was indicted and that wil be revealed; perhaps others did like to Pitt. Regardless - the NPOV facts are all that is needed to make all of this clear and accurate. Ironically, the whole thing is similar to the "Bush lied" meme used by the left. Clearly, there is no factual evidence that Bush lied; but like Pitt, what he declared was later shown inaccurate.

Demise
It appears the subject has died of a heart attack, though I don't yet have a single RS, just something on his FB page and at a liberal community blog. I see an ip contributor has inserted a death date and was properly reverted as unsourced. Given the three previous unsuccessful AfDs on the subject, it is wise to source this if opportunity presents itself. I'll keep my eyes open. BusterD (talk) 08:48, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Even some members of the community blog are skeptical, as not even primary sources like Truthout have reported anything. If the death is true, a credible notice should be published in a few days. • Gene93k (talk) 09:24, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * (edit conflict) Reverter here. If we looked at the same liberal community blog post, then that post also looked like it might have been deleted.  I didn't see the fb post, although I did a good faith look for sources.  It sounds likely that an obituary may appear in the coming days and weeks, or at least a brief death announcement posted by his publisher or some other institution he had been affiliated with. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 09:42, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Truthout has confirmed his death on Twitter and is conducting a Go Fund Me for his family. SN 27 September 2022 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.13.150.119 (talk) 15:53, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * The tweet mentioned by the IP user is here . A tweet by an institution like that might suffice as a source, at least temporarily; obviously it's not great sourcing.   what do you think?  IP editors: sourcing is important for Wikipedia, and it's better to run slightly behind events than to get things wrong.  For example, when John Conway died, it was a week or two before there was sourcing sufficient to add it to the page.  The relevant Wikipedia guideline is WP:NOTNEWS. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:32, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Truthout's Twitter announcement certainly seems to confirm the death, but doesn't quite meet our RS standard, IMHO. The discussion here will have to pass for a death announcement until we have better sourcing, which one might expect on the death of a notable author. I would think it likely Truthout and The Nation might say something significant in the next few days. BusterD (talk) 17:35, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

It is also on his personal Facebook page. Given he was not a truly famous individual, you are NOT going to see obits in the NYT or WP. You might not even see a death notice in a local paper; it isn't required a death notice be printed. I think his FB page should suffice as proof he died. It should also suffice that Truthout, his employer, has confirmed his death. What else do you need, really? SN 27 September 2022  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.13.150.119 (talk) 17:58, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Truthout now has an editorial on their webpage eulogizing him, by their editor-in-chief. I think that that suffices for the fact that he's passed recently, following WP:RSEDITORIAL.  I've added it to the article.  (Unfortunately, the source doesn't have the date of death or other details.)  IP users, others watching, Wikipedia has reasonably high sourcing standings, particularly for living and recently-deceased persons.  We can't use fb for much. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:49, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

FB is used more and more for death announcements in lieu of traditional obituaries. Case in point was Kristen Nelson Tinker, painter and ex-wife of singer Rick Nelson. There was NO death announcement through traditional sources, only her FB page when she passed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.13.150.119 (talk) 22:07, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Death reported
On Democratic underground on September 26, 2022, it was reported that Mr. Pitt has died. His last twitter post reportedly said “I died”. J (talk) 16:56, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Democratic Underground referred back this Wikipedia article (WP:CIRCULAR) and to his friends' Facebook posts. Even some DU posters are asking for something more authoritative. • Gene93k (talk) 17:55, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sarawak Chamber

Untitled
Okay, I'd rate myself as a happy troglodyte, but the fact that the *world's biggest cave chamber!!!* is hardly three paragraphs is...kinda depressing. I think I may have a fuzzy picture of it somewhere, from a caver acquaintance who sent me it via email...but I'm not quite sure how to put them on, and it might be rather large. And I can't find any information on the book I referenced to either, the Donald Jackson one - it's hardback, a black cover and has a large pothole photo on it's front. I know it's old; 1985 said Amazon. I love Sarawakky, I want to go there someday just to boast that I have. Are there any more caving enthusiasts on here? I want to try starting the Porth-yr-Ogof page too; I've been there several times myself and I have the book on it.

I'm glad you like my article, however short it may be. The photo would be quite welcome, but you're asking the wrong person if you want help. I too got my info from an old book, so it shows that oldys are good for information. Thanks, Spawn Man 00:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Nope...I can't find the photo. I think I deleted it from my inbox, as I'd recieved it about two years ago from that guy, and it was black and white, and huge in byte size...I think I'm/we're going to have to trawl the web if there's to be a photo. I don't think the Jackson book is in my University library, but I'll have a look because we have free scanners in there. *mopes* Lady BlahDeBlah 23:01, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Spawnman, are you a caver, and have you been to Sarawak Chamber? You have changed the text back to an earlier posting, which is incorrect. I have been there several times. Please don't add things to subjects you are not sure of. --Cavingliz 10:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)cavingliz

Okay, I've visited this cave and many others in the Mulu resort this January. What I learned there is somewhat different from this article - there seem to be some misconceptions in this article concering the name of the cave and how to get there. In addition, it fails to mention one of the reason it is popular with tourists - it is host to millions of bats that fly out every night. The Mulu park have constructed a viewing platform close to the cave just for this purpose. As I remember, the guide also referred to the chambers as Deer cave, not Good luck cave. I am not sure on how to proceed in editing this though, as I don't have any sources to cite. I've only been there :) --RipperDoc 07:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I can assure you that Sarawak Chamber is definitely in Gua Nasib Bagus, or Good Luck Cave. Tourists don't go there, as you really need some caving experience to get there. Deer Cave is the show cave all tourists go to, and is often said to have the biggest cave passage in the world. This is the cave with the bats. Maybe you are getting confused with the terms passage and chamber. As I said before, if you are not a caver you may not understand the different words etc! Cavingliz 05:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, my bad. But what confuses me is that the guides told me that the Deer Cave where the largest chamber in the world... and it is very, very big. We were planning to go serious caving, but ended up not having time, but although their brochure mentioned many caves that required good experience to go to, they didnt mention that there was any cave bigger than Deer cave. Unfortunately, I threw this brochure away recently :p --RipperDoc 17:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Deer Cave is reputedly the largest cave PASSAGE in the world, it goes from one entrance of the cave to the other. Sarawak Chamber is the world's largest underground CHAMBER, i.e. enclosed room. The LONGEST cave is Clearwater. Cavingliz 12:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, cool, thanks! Now the pieces fit together for me again. Don't quote me on the number, but I think the guides told me that the undergroundriver that flows through Clearwater is around 100 km long.

Clearwater Cave is 129 km long, but the river in the cave is much shorter, as obviously it doesn't flow through all the passages. Cavingliz 03:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, they measure the length by coloring the water upstream and timing how long it takes to reach the other end (again, according to the guides). Is there any other way of measuring the length of the cave? (except going through all 129 kms, which for obvious reasons hasn't been done, right?).

They definitely DO NOT measure the length of a cave by dye tracing. Cavers measure the length of a cave by survueying with tape measure and surveying gear, and yes, they have covered all 129 km over the years. Dye tracing only tells you where the water flows, it is impossible to measure the length this way. Cavingliz 12:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If you say so, I can only refer to what the guides told me :p If I go there again I'll ask them.--RipperDoc 03:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Cavingliz, you've BEEN there?!? Cooooolll...I haven't been able to go caving for about three years. ;-( Lady BlahDeBlah 13:55, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Oppose

Oppose till user sets/enables his email id. =Nichalp  «Talk»=  19:02, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * opps, did not know that was needed, anyway I think it is enabled now. (set it in preferences). Thanks for the heads up --Jcw69 19:37, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not a strict requirement, but Nichalp feels (and I tend to concur) that if you're going to be able to block somebody, they need to be able to email you since they won't be able to post on your talk page. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 21:41, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe there was such a requirement about a year back. I have no idea how it got lost in the everchanging rules. Thanks Lomn, but it's not only that. There are many situations that require some level private conversation. Issues on users for example, or perhaps on some policies. Everthing on WP can be retrieved, and so of course this is not the best medium to discuss such private matters.  =Nichalp   «Talk»=  19:43, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Neutral

Comments
 * According to nom, "Makes full use of edit summaries". Edit summary usage is 40%, 80% over last 500 edits, 77% over last 100. --Durin 18:10, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * When I said that, I meant over the recent ones.  Ban  e  s  19:09, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I realise that I have been overlook the edit summaries but I am working on it. --Jcw69 19:47, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. My main goal is to put South Africa (and the rest of Africa) onto the Wikipedia map but as an administrator I’ll need to increase my work into other fields. For example not to be limited by geography and to increase my RC watch making sure that the vandals don’t get out of hand. An administrator needs to be open, approachable and transparent. Be able to listen and with the mentorship of other administrators make the right decisions. This is something that I will strive to be and with the proper guidance I believe I will be a successful administrator. Jcw

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I am never entirely satisfied with any of my contributions because they always need improvement. In the beginning when I was novice, I made many mistakes but I think I have come a long way since then. This will stand me in good stead as an administrator because I’ve been there, done it and have the “bruises to show”. If I had to choose, it would be the Timeline of South African history with all its pages off it. The reason why: The pages have taken a long time to get where they have and they are many more years of work and information ahead to get them to a standard where I am completely satisfied. Jcw

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. Not what I call conflicts. I have been in disagreement with other users but most of the time I just listen. I like to ask a question on a discussion page and then watch the debate. The main one that comes to mind is the Battle of Spion Kop which in all South African minds should be the Battle of Spioenkop but a few disagree and used google as a weapon. Anyway a vote was taken and page left were it is. Jcw
