Category talk:Fellows of colleges of the University of Oxford

I thought this might be worth having as an additional category, given that the College articles mostly don't give good lists of their Fellows as such.

I'm not sure whether or not to include it as a sub-category of British Academics - ther is a logical connection, but perhaps it might be better to leave the two things separate. Any thoughts? HeartofaDog 15:12, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Are college lecturers to be listed as fellows?
I had assumed that only people in positions labelled as "Fellow" would be listed in this category, but a couple of existing entries have made me wonder. Should other teaching staff, such as college lecturers, also be included? If so, it would be best to rename the category "Teaching Staff of the Colleges....", so that there is no possibility of ambiguity. Septuagent 03:14, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Lambda Aurigae

Lambda Aurigae, Latinized from λ Aurigae, is the Bayer designation for a solar analog star in the northern constellation of Auriga. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.71. Based upon parallax measurements, it is approximately 40.7 ly distant from the Earth. The star is drifting further away with a high radial velocity of +66.5 km/s, having come to within 7.4945 pc some 117,300 years ago. It has a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of $66.53$ per year.

Properties
This is a G-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of G1 V. It is sometimes listed with a class of G1.5 IV-V Fe-1, which indicates the spectrum is showing some features of a more evolved subgiant star along with a noticeable underabundance of iron. In terms of composition it is similar to the Sun, while the mass and radius are slightly larger. It is 73% more luminous than the Sun and radiates this energy from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of $1.081$. At this heat, the star glows with the yellow hue of a G-type star. It has a low level of surface activity and is a candidate Maunder minimum analog.

Lambda Aurigae has been examined for the presence of excess infrared emission that may indicate the presence of a circumstellar disk of dust, but no significant surplus has been observed. It is a possible member of the Epsilon Indi Moving Group of stars that share a common motion through space. The space velocity components of this star are [U, V, W] = [+76, –39, –6] km/s.

Name
This star may have been called by the name Al Hurr, meaning the fawn in Arabic. Lambda Aurigae, along with μ Aur and σ Aur, were Kazwini's Al Ḣibāʽ (ألحباع), the Tent. According to the catalogue of stars in the Technical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars, Al Ḣibāʽ were the title for three stars : λ Aur as Al Ḣibāʽ I, μ Aur as Al Ḣibāʽ II and σ Aur as Al Ḣibāʽ III.

In Chinese, 咸池 (Xián Chí), meaning Pool of Harmony, refers to an asterism consisting of λ Aurigae, ρ Aurigae and HD 36041. Consequently, the Chinese name for λ Aurigae itself is 咸池三 (Xián Chí sān, the Third Star of Pool of Harmony.)

Observation
From Earth, Lambda Aurigae has an apparent magnitude of 4.71. The closest large neighboring star to Lambda Aurigae is Capella, located 4.5 ly away. Hypothetically viewed from Lambda Aurigae, Capella's quadruple star system would have an apparent magnitude of approximately -5.48, about 40 times brighter than Sirius can be seen at maximum brightness from Earth.

Onat Kutlar

Onat Kutlar (25 January 1936 – 11 January 1995) was a prominent Turkish writer and poet, founder of the Turkish Sinematek and cofounder of the Istanbul International Film Festival.

Biography
Onat Kutlar was born in Alanya, Turkey, on 25 January 1936. He was the grandson of Arif Pasha, an Ottoman governor of the Taif district and the son of Ali Riza Bey, a penal judge of the young Turkish Republic and later a farmer, and Meliha Hanim.

He was raised in Gaziantep. He studied law at Istanbul University and philosophy in Paris. His book, Ishak (1959), composed of nine short stories, most of which are written from the point of view of a child and are often surrealistic and mystical was the recipient of the 1960 "Turkish Language Association Short Story Award". According to the literary critic Fethi Naci, these short stories represent a very early example of magical realism genre. In 1985, he was a member of the jury at the 35th Berlin International Film Festival. In 1994, he was awarded with L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and in 1975 Cultural Medal of Poland for his work in the Turkish Sinematek.

He died on 11 January 1995 in Istanbul resulting from injuries sustained in a bomb attack (claimed by İBDA-C, later revealed to be carried out by PKK ) which occurred on 30 December 1994 at The Marmara Hotel's cafeteria in Taksim Square, Istanbul. He was laid to rest at the Aşiyan Asri Cemetery. He was married to Filiz Kutlar.

The International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) Prize in the National Competition of the Istanbul International Film Festival is named after him to commemorate his contributions to the Turkish cinema.

Talk:Ashbury College

Untitled
Perhaps there is too much information in the Junior School section about the Senior School that could be included in a separate section.

I do not think it is appropriate to feature a picture of Matthew Perry. It would suggest that we, as Ashbuians who create the page, are only concerned with the celebrity status of our alumni and disregard the fine balance of academic, athletic, artistic, and social development that occurs at the College. Including his photo is cliché and uninspired.

I.B. Sucks

The result of the move request was no consensus to move – Juliancolton  | Talk 01:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Ashbury College → Ashbury College (Ottawa) — - Under the guidelines of WikiProject Ottawa, one of the naming conventions for school articles (see WikiProject_Ottawa) is that schools must be named "%School Name% (Ottawa)" and not just "%School Name%". Although this does not apply to colleges and universities, Ashbury College is not a college in its usual sense. It is a private elementary and high school. Thus, I would like to move the page to conform to these naming conventions. --Michaelkourlas (talk) 18:42, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Oppose. I can find no consensus for this WikiProject's naming conventions even amongst the project let alone in the wider community.  Lacking any consensus it is my opinion that the general wikipedia convention of only disambiguating when neccessary applies and so this article should stay where it is.

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Erroneous impression.
As a parent of a potential student for this school I find this article less than helpful. There are no achievements mentioned for the girls, which would lead one to question whether girls at the school get sufficient support in their athletic or academic endeavours. There are no notable female alumni, which is very worrying. Also there is no mention of the arts... The author's inclination to mention just the academic and (boy's)athletic achievements could lead one to believe that Ashbury provides a sadly incomplete education. I was hoping that an article such as this would give a more rounded picture of the education achieved at this prestigious school.. The impression it gives is one of a school which reverts to the bog standard accolades for high academic scores and the traditional idea of physical endeavour. Namely those of the boys. Surely there is more to this school than pageantry and high Sat scores? Are there no female alumni who would care to comment on a girl's experience at Ashbury College? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobsgals (talk • contribs) 20:56, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, you're probably salty that your son or daughter didn't get accepted to such a fine school like Ashbury College. ThreeGoats (talk) 21:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Schools Assessment
I have rated this article C/Mid, It is a long article, but contains lots of irrelevant information (most notably the Technology section) and is also poorly referenced.

Talk:Irish Hospitality, or, Virtue Rewarded

Comment
Might I contextualize? I'd love to say, "Like the plays by George Lillo and Richard Steele being acted at nearly the same time, this play attempts to focus on Christian morality enacted on a family or household scale." Or I could even add, "It is one of a number of plays of the time that sought to appeal to an increasingly bourgeoise audience in the theatres." Still, thought I'd check first, as the last thing I want to do is read the play. Geogre 15:14, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Awadia and Fadnia tribes

Awadia and Fadnia are two small nomad tribes of pure Arab descent living in the Bayuda Desert, Sudan, between the wells of Jakdul and Metemma. They are often incorrectly classed as Ja'alin. They own numbers of horses and cattle, the former of the black Dongola breed. At the battle of Abu Klea (17 January 1885) they were conspicuous for their courage in riding against the British square.

International regime

An international regime is the set of principles, norms, rules and procedures that international actors converge around. Sometimes, when formally organized, it can transform into an intergovernmental organization.

Definition and types
Stephen D. Krasner defines international regimes as "sets of implicit or explicit principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures around which actors' expectations converge in a given area of international relations". Regimes "are more specialized arrangements that pertain to well-defined activities, resources, or geographical areas and often involve only some subset of the members of international society", according to Oran R. Young.

Types of regimes include International Conventions such as the Basel Convention, the Mediterranean Action Plan and well-known regimes like the Bretton Woods System of monetary management. International Regimes might also include international organizations in a broader sense.

Formation
International regimes often form in response to a need to coordinate behavior among countries around an issue. In the absence of an overarching regime, for instance, telecommunications between countries would have to be governed by numerous bilateral agreements, which would become impossibly complex to administer worldwide. A regime such as ITU serves simultaneously as a forum, a multilateral treaty, and a governing body to standardize telecommunications across countries efficiently. The International Monetary Fund, Biological Weapons Convention, and Kyoto Protocol are other examples of international regimes. The number of international regimes has increased dramatically since the Second World War, and today regimes cover almost all aspects of international relations that might require coordination among countries, from security issues (such as weapons non-proliferation or collective defense), to trade, finance, and investment, information and communication, human rights, the environment, and management of outer space—to name a few.

Some scholars emphasize the importance of a hegemon in creating a regime and giving it momentum. This is called the hegemonic stability theory. The United States, for example, has been instrumental in creating the Bretton Woods system, with organizations such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The rationale is that a hegemon, being the dominant actor in international politics and economics, often stands to gain the most from the creation of global standards. For instance, while other countries might benefit from it, U.S. companies like Microsoft, Universal Studios, and Pfizer would be among the greatest beneficiaries of a strict global intellectual property regime. As the hegemons use their power to create regimes, their withdrawal similarly can also threaten the effectiveness of regimes.

Proponents and critics
Regimes serve crucial functional needs in international relations. Powerful regimes are considered by some scholars as independent actors in international politics. Although ultimately states create and sustain regimes, once institutionalized, regimes can exert influence in world politics that is practically independent of state sovereignty. The International Atomic Energy Agency, for instance, has certain rights, given to it by states themselves, to monitor nuclear energy activity in countries. Insofar as they are organized by means of treaties among countries, regimes provide an important source of formal international law. Regimes themselves can also be subjects of international law. Insofar as they shape the behavior of states, the most influential regimes can also be a source of customary international law. In this light, some liberal scholars see in regimes the early seeds of peaceful world governance, in the vein of philosopher Immanuel Kant's idea of perpetual peace through a federation of world's states.

Critics of regimes deplore their influence as a source of additional conflict or inefficiency in world politics. The security regime organized around the United Nations Security Council is sometimes cited as a case in point. Some other scholars are also alarmed that regimes represent a dilution of democratic control. Although they govern and influence important aspects of life, they operate steps removed from domestic democratic politics, organized around a legislature. In effect, some critics argue, most regimes come to represent the technocratic views of international civil servants, with agreements made behind closed doors, rather than being subject to openness and democratic popular representation. Some regimes, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) have tried to address this "democratic deficit" by establishing civilian affairs departments, which are supposed to act as a liaison to the popular will. Most regimes are still insulated from the direct democratic politics that happen within states. Some, however, consider such insulation necessary, since much of international coordination require specialized expertise provided best by technocrats.

Talk:Château Laurier

Removed reference to Ottawas Oldest Radio Station
Ottawa's Oldest radio Station is CIWW (Originally CKOY) founded in 1922. CNRO (Canadian National's Ottawa radio Station) was founded in 1924. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cocgle (talk • contribs) 13:25, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Name Change
I propose to change the official title of this article to: Fairmont Château Laurier, as it is officially referred to by the chain. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gilles f. pirionne (talk • contribs).
 * I would disagree. The naming conventions suggest using the most common name for the article title (Naming conventions (common names)), not necessarily the official name.  The hotel has been known since its construction as the Château Laurier, and I would suggest that few people, if any (outside of the Fairmont marketing department), refer to it as the Fairmont Château Laurier.  It is always referred to as the Château Laurier, or just "the Château". Fairmont Château Laurier is a redirect, in the off chance anyone does a search using the official name.  I note that the article on the chain itself is called Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, rather than using the official corporate name of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts Inc.  I also note that most of the articles respecting Fairmont hotels in Canada do not use Fairmont in the article title -- the Royal York and Palliser being the obvious exceptions (and arguably, Fairmont should be removed from both those titles in accordance with the naming convention).  Skeezix1000 11:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I feel the same way about the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and many others [oh, I see that one's had its name changed and is now without the "Fairmont" part. The modern branding significantly predates the rebranding of CP Hotels as Fairmont (or is it Westin that's CP Hotels?), and all such hotels are known by the their names rather than their brands, except with ones where the brand is the name, such as the Delta in Whistler.  I just found The Westin Nova Scotian, which has only been a Westin since 2003 and the name is a lot older than that, and shouldn't have the "The" either; there's a redirect in the way or I'd have moved it; on the other hand, most Haligonians call this "the Westin" as calling it "the Nova Scotian" gets a bit confusing out there, given there's I think a vessel and and a newspaper, or was, by that name....I've been browsing Canadian hotels tonight, looking for examples of GAs or even B class articles; are there any?  That most are "start" makes me think that maybe there should be a Canadian working group within WP:Hotels to bring them up to standard, given how many are national icons...some even have unreferenced tags on them, as well as predictable "advertising tags"....and there's lots of major hotels, historical and modern, that need articles, too, e.g. the Chateau Whistler and others in the RMOW, and many in Vancouver as well that rank as notable, grand or otherwise.  The brandings should be removed from them wherever possible, and likewise any "The FOO hotel" titles should be "FOO hotel" or "Hotel FOO", again wherever possible; not sure what the Delta is in Whistler now, when it opened it was the Delta at Whistler Mountain I think; we just always called it "the Delta"....there's numerous old hotels in Victoria that warrant articles, the Royal Oak Hotel (Canada) may already have an article, but the Douglas and others are highly notable historically...the James Bay Inn also comes to mind and it was the Oak Bay Inn or Oak Bay Hotel I meant before, just amending.....modern hotels seem to have the edge there, either because the articles were started promotionally or they're the ones that younger contributors are aware of because they're big and shiny.  I've asked or made notice at the WP:N noticeboard's talkpage about the idea of a Notability guideline for hotels but no takers so far; and it seems we don't have properly more-than-start class articles for even significant hotels already....hm just remember the Bayshore Inn article had been the Westin Bayshore Inn when I first saw it, maybe that's had the brand taken off its title, also....it was a CP Hotel, famously so as a new-era CP Hotel, so "Westin" is I guess the CP Hotels re-brand....Fairmont was something else before too...CN Hotels?Skookum1 (talk) 17:14, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:National Arts Centre

Change of name?
I am wondering whether this should be called National Arts Centre of Canada, National Arts Centre could be anywhere. - Kleinzach 18:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Let's do it. Makes sense.
 * Vivaverdi 06:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I've reverted this change. It's name is simply the "National Arts Centre" and a quick Google serach shows that it is the only organization that seems to go by this name. Moreover, the merger was done by cut and paste, which separated the article from its history. We would never rename the National Security Agency, National Science Foundation, or National Geographic articles. Why would we change this one? - SimonP 20:37, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Before the text of the article was altered, it started "The National Arts Centre of Canada (NAC) (in French: Le Centre national des arts (CNA)) has become Canada's foremost showcase for the performing arts." If that is not the official name then I suggest the article should be called National Arts Centre (Canada). I trust that would satisfy everybody, while avoiding ambiguity. There are, after all, many, many national arts centres in the world.  - Kleinzach 23:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The title is not ambiguous, there are no other "National Art Centres". There is no reason to make the title less precise. If anyone is wondering what nation is being referred to, they merely need to read the first sentence of the article. We have hundreds of articles that are simply titled "National XXX" with no disambiguation, in addition to the three already mentioned there is also National Health Service, National Weather Service, National Road, and National Mall. - SimonP 00:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I believe there is a National Arts Centre in India. If you search there are probably others. Regarding your examples, they seem to be all of major institutions - but adding UK or USA in parentheses would be fine IMO and add clarity. - Kleinzach 00:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Google gives no evidence for another institution by this name. A search for '"national arts centre" +india' simply gives various Indian themed events happening at the one in Ottawa. I've searched and no other country seems to have a "National Arts Centre." I don’t understand why we should add unneeded information to article titles. The title should when possible simply be the name of the article subject, any extra information is found in the article itself. Titles should be as brief and clear as possible- SimonP 01:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The English Google (I haven't looked at the others) gives 270 million results for National Arts Centre. One of these is the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts and there must be others, but that's not really the point - National Arts Centre (Canada) clarifies where the place is. That's what i want to know as an international reader. - Kleinzach 08:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Do do an accurate search you have to search for the term in quotation marks, otherwise you will get organizations with slightly similar names. This search gives 450,000 hits and the first 100 all refer to the NAC. If you want to know where it is, read the article. I might want to know what type of arts it hosts, this does not mean the title should have (music and theatre) appended to it. Titles are for the name of the organization, not for extra information that might or might not be useful to readers. - SimonP 15:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * SimonP writes: "If you want to know where it is, read the article."

 * I think that's unreasonable. If Wikipedia article titles are not specific, search becomes difficult. (In any case the use of parentheses in Wikipedia titles does not imply a formal change in name.) - Kleinzach 16:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with SimonP. There is no other article with the name "National Arts Centre", nor does there appear to be another institution with that name.  The most commonly used name is the "National Arts Centre", and adding the word "(Canada)" to the title will simply make it more difficult to find the article.  --Skeezix1000 11:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Both of you, (SimonP and Skeezix1000), live in Canada, perhaps quite close to the centre. So the name National Arts Centre is unambiguous from your point of view. However the Wikipedia NPOV policy implies an international perspective. What do other people think? - Kleinzach 16:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It may be true that both SimonP and Skeezix1000, and I as well, live in Canada...but that still doesn't change the fact that there is no other "National Arts Centre" in the world comparable to the one in Canada, and a quick Google search verifies that. GrahameS 22:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The concern raised stems from a misunderstanding of the NPOV policy. It is not POV to use the most common name, where there is no risk of conflict with other articles.  Skeezix1000 11:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

James Hanway Plumridge

Admiral Sir James Hanway Plumridge (13 March 1787 – 29 November 1863) was a British naval officer whose career extended from Trafalgar to the Crimean War, and a Liberal Party Member of Parliament (MP).

Early life and education
There are contradictory accounts of Plumridge's origins. He was born at Hertford Street, Mayfair, either the illegitimate son of a man named Preston and a daughter of James Plumridge, or, the son of architect James Plumridge of Littleworth, Berkshire, and the daughter of a man called Hanway of Hertford Street. There is an entry in the baptismal register at St George's, Hanover Square on 1 April 1787 for a James Hanway Plumridge, son of James and Susanna Plumridge.

According to a biography of Jonas Hanway, James Hanway Plumridge was his great-great-nephew, and the son of his great-niece, who was the sister of a man called Hanway Hanway.

He was educated at the Naval Academy in Chelsea.

Wars against France
He entered the Navy on 6 September 1799 as a first-class volunteer aboard the sloop HMS Osprey (1797), employed in home waters under Commander John Watts. From December 1800 he served in the Mediterranean, as midshipman, master's mate, and for a short time as acting-lieutenant; firstly aboard the frigate HMS Leda (1800), under Captains George Johnstone Hope and Robert Honyman, seeing action in the Egyptian campaign under the former. He then followed Captain Hope into the 74s HMS Defence (1763), taking part in the battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, and HMS Theseus (1786). Finally, he served aboard HMS Melpomene (1794), under Captain Peter Parker, from where he was promoted to lieutenant on 20 August 1806.

For the next seven years Plumridge served as a lieutenant; aboard the HMS Repulse (1803) under Captain the Honourable Arthur Kaye Legge, in HMS Zealous (1785) under Captains John Giffard and William Pierrepont, and then Melpomene again, under Captain Peter Parker. There, on 1 May 1809, during the Gunboat War, he commanded the boats of Melpomene in an attack on a Danish cutter of 6 guns and several merchantmen, which were lying under the protection of gun batteries in the harbour of Huilbo, Jutland. The cutter was destroyed, but with the loss of Lieutenant George Rennie, and five men severely wounded. Soon after Melpomene fought off an attack by a flotilla of 20 gun-boats, suffering considerable damage, and losing 34 men killed and wounded. He then served aboard the frigate HMS Tartar (1801), Captain Joseph Baker, in the Baltic.

By December 1810 Plumridge was serving aboard the frigate HMS Menelaus (1810) under Captain Peter Parker again, and taking part in the capture of Isle de France. He then served aboard the 80-gun ship HMS Tonnant (1798), Captain Sir John Gore; in HMS Tremendous (1784) and HMS Hibernia (1804), the flag-ships of Sir William Sidney Smith in 1812; and the frigate HMS Resistance (1805), Captain Fleetwood Pellew. On 5 October 1813 he commanded the boats of Resistance at the destruction of batteries and the capture of a convoy in Porto d'Anzo. He then served aboard HMS Royal Sovereign (1804), Captain Thomas Gordon Caulfeild, and HMS Caledonia (1808), the flagship of Sir Edward Pellew. In April 1814 he served as Pellew's aide-de-camp during the capture of Genoa.

Peacetime service
On 7 June 1814 Plumridge was promoted to commander in the sloop HMS Crocus (1808), but within a month was transferred to command of HMS Philomel (1806) and ordered to the East Indies. There on 29 April 1816, he was appointed acting-captain of the Bombay-built frigate HMS Amphitrite (1816), in which he returned to England by February 1817.

He then commanded the 18-gun brig-sloop HMS Sappho (1806) from February 1818 until March 1821, visiting Saint Helena, and in 1820, while on the Irish station, capturing three American smugglers; Clinton on 13 August, Liberty on 14 August, and Maria on 12 October. Plumridge was finally promoted to post-captain on 9 October 1822, but had to wait until July 1831 before being appointed to command of the frigate HMS Magicienne (1812), serving in the East Indies until early 1835. From April 1837 until 1841 he was the Superintendent of the Packet Service at Falmouth.

In the 1837 election he stood unsuccessfully for Parliament in Penryn and Falmouth, but won the seat in 1841. He did not seek re-election in 1847. In June 1842 he was appointed Storekeeper of the Ordnance, and on 29 June 1847 was awarded the Good Service Pension.

Plumridge returned to sea duty in August 1847, commanding the frigate HMS Cambrian (1841) on the East Indies and China Station, and serving as second-in-command with the rank of commodore. Following the death of the Commander-in-Chief, Francis Augustus Collier, on 28 October 1849, Plumridge served as C-in-C pro tem until the arrival of Charles Austen in January 1850. He was raised to the rank of rear admiral on 8 October 1852.

Crimean War
In 1854, during the Crimean War, he was assigned to the fleet headed by Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier for operations in the Baltic, commanding a detached "flying squadron" of steamships. Flying his flag in the frigate HMS Leopard (1850), Plumridge operated in the Gulf of Bothnia during the Åland War (part of the Crimean War) bombarding a number of Finnish settlements to destroy fortifications, telegraph apparatus, and capture enemy shipping. He was afterwards sharply criticized for firing on civilian settlements. Furthermore, the destroyed Finnish commodities were for the greater part actually bought by British customers and often paid in advance, Plumridge effectively pillaging on his own nations's goods. On 21 June his force bombarded the fortress of Bomarsund in Åland, expending most of their ammunition for little result. It was on this occasion that a midshipman of the gunboat HMS Hecla won the first-ever Victoria Cross. In common with the other commanders of the 1854 Baltic campaign Plumridge's command was not renewed in 1855, but he was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on 5 July 1855.

Plumridge was made a vice admiral on 28 November 1857 and admiral on 27 April 1863, but died in November of the same year at Hopton Hall. He is buried in the churchyard of old St Margaret's Church, Hopton-on-Sea, Norfolk.

Personal life
Plumridge was married three times. He married first in 1821, to a daughter of a Rear-Admiral Hart. She died in 1827, and he married for a second time in 1835 to Harriet Agnes, daughter of the Rt Hon Hugh Elliot, by whom he had several children. He was again left a widower in 1845. He married for a third time to Georgina Skinner, the sister of Thomas Skinner, who was the daughter of Lt-Col William Thomas Skinner, RA. He and his third wife also had several children, including Mabel Ann (1861-1931) who married the art critic, novelist and illustrator Haldane MacFall.

His maternal niece Catherine German married Hermann Philipp Rée, and their great-great-great-grandson is the former Prime Minister Rt. Hon. David Cameron.

Bayuda Desert

The Bayuda Desert, located at 18°N, 33°W, is in the eastern region of the Sahara Desert, spanning approximately 100,000 km2 of northeast Sudan north of Omdurman and south of Korti, embraced by the great bend of the Nile in the north, east, and south and limited by the Wadi Muqaddam in the west. The north-to-south-aligned Wadi Abu Dom divides the Bayuda Desert into the eastern Bayuda Volcanic Field and the western ochre-colored sand-sheets scattered with rocky outcrop.

Gold mining occurs today from October to March, as laborers work auriferous quartz found in wadis and shallow mines. These workings are usually in areas previously worked during the New Kingdom of Egypt and the Early Arab Period. In July 2020, it was found that gold hunters had used heavy machinery at the Jabal Maragha archaeological site, destroying it by digging a huge trench. The gold diggers were arrested and their equipment seized, but they were later released without charges.

The Bayuda Desert route
Throughout the Meroitic civilization, the Bayuda Desert became the lifeline connecting the northern and southern districts of the Kingdom of Kush, with Napata and Meroe as the termini. The king Nastasen Stela provides testament of the existence and use of this route, describing his progress across the desert from Meroe to Napata for his coronation.

The Mahdist War
The Bayuda Desert was crossed by the Desert Column of the Gordon Relief Expedition in January 1885 in a failed attempt to relieve the Siege of Khartoum. The Desert Column was led mainly by Major General Sir Herbert Stewart, but after he was mortally wounded, command passed to Brigadier General Charles Wilson, the column's intelligence officer. The Expedition saw the Battle of Abu Klea and the Battle Abu Kru.

 * Since I'm the one who deleted the entry, let me explain the reasons.
 * Contributions to wikipedia get licensed under GFDL (GNU Free Documentation License), about which you can read at the links at the bottom of any page. Notice however that GFDL explictly allows content to be used in commercial (that is for-profit) documents (so for example you could download whole wikipedia and sell it as long as you hold the clauses of the GFDL). Howwever the text contributed was taken from another source which explictly stated that only noncommercial (nonprofit) use was granted, thus it becomes incompatible with GFDL and we cannot host it (it becomes a copyrigth violation as we would be giving it away to commercial uses). I hope this clears the issue. -- (drini's page| ☎ ) 15:25, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * hi drini, just trying to get to the bottom of the problem here !
 * as well as being the original author of the page on wikipedia, i'm also the actual author of the text itself, & almost certainly the controller of the website or other publication you've seen which has the copyright/left notice which is causing difficulty.
 * i accept aphax's view that there probably needs to be some text editing to make it more suitable for wikipedia than its original usage, but i do think substantially the article is of use on wikipedia to expand its coverage of quakerism, so please let me know what needs changing, either here or elsewhere, to make that happen.
 * simon

 * I don't know about the content (neutral point of view, cleanup etc). My only concern is about the licensing terms, and you being aware that if you repost the content, it will allow commercial use too. -- (drini's page| ☎ ) 15:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Wgyf-1985.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Wgyf-1985.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image 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 image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image 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 images, 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. Thank you.

Birmingham
I changed your wording back for the article's introductory paragraph because I think 'many' is too vague. Being objective I think 'generally' is entirely fair - especially by reference to, for instance, references from any reputable news source. For example, see what a search for 'second city' brings up on the BBC (you'll have to ignore things such as 'Durham is the second city to consider implementing a congestion charge': http://search.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/search/results.pl?scope=all&edition=d&q=%22second+city%22&go.x=23&go.y=17&go=go Matthew 16:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify - I certainly didn't find 'second city' being used of Manchester except in reference to the MORI poll from 2002. In general parlance, 'second city' is used to refer to Birmingham only as far as I can tell. Matthew 16:01, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Microgroove (band)

A tag has been placed on Microgroove (band) 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 band or musician, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Rwiggum (Talk /Contrib ) 17:40, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Snot (nasal mucus)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Snot (nasal mucus). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Mucus. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Mucus. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Dorsetonian (talk) 18:35, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

February 2018
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Mucus a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Acclamation (papal elections)

Acclamation  was formerly one of the methods of papal election.

The method of electing the Roman Pontiff is contained in the constitutions of Gregory XV Æterni Patris Filius and Decet Romanum Pontificem, Urban VIII's constitution Ad Romani Pontificis Providentiam, and John Paul II's Universi Dominici gregis, issued in 1996. Prior to the issuance of Universi Dominici gregis, three methods of election were valid. These were by scrutiny, by compromise, and by acclamation (or "quasi-inspiration"). This last form of election consisted of all the electors present unanimously proclaiming one of the candidates Supreme Pontiff, without the formality of casting votes. As this was required to be done without previous consultation or negotiation, it was looked upon as proceeding from the Holy Spirit and hence was also designated "quasi-inspiration".

Recent changes in papal election law
Universi Dominici gregis specifically disallowed both election by acclamation and by compromise; as a result the secret ballot is the sole valid method of electing a Pope. Originally, Universi Dominici gregis allowed for a Pope to be elected with a simple majority if the usual requirement of a two-thirds super majority could not be reached after thirty-four ballots. On June 11, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI issued a motu proprio which requires a two-thirds majority regardless of the number of ballots it takes to elect a new Pope.

In fiction

 * The 1904 novel Hadrian the Seventh by Frederick Rolfe features the apparently divinely-inspired election of George Arthur Rose, an Englishman only that day ordained, to the papacy.

 * In the 1968 film The Shoes of the Fisherman, the Cardinal electors had acclaimed Cardinal Kiril Lakota as Pope after repeated balloting failed to produce the required majority.

 * In the 1973 TV movie A Man Whose Name Was John, the Cardinal electors acclaimed Cardinal Angelo Roncalli (Raymond Burr) as Pope John XXIII. This part of an otherwise true story was fictionalized as he was not elected by acclamation.

 * In the 1997 novel The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons, it is mentioned that Lenar Hoyt has been elected by acclamation nine times after his repeated deaths and resurrections. A tenth election, which occurs at the beginning of the book, is not unanimous due to plotting by his Secretary of State, but a ballot vote still goes in his favor.

 * In the 2000 book Angels & Demons by Dan Brown, Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca is nearly elected by acclamation.
