Thanks. Yeah, I hate it when I lose changes due to crashes. In my experience, Firefox was more stable than IE, but recently they seem nearly even in that regard. I tend to save my changes more often now and make big edits in a separate text editor (so if my browser dies, I've still got my text). --Mrwojo 19:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

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

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

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BRossow 14:49, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

On 07 February, you tagged the redirect Cheaper by the dozen cast for deletion, but you did not list it at Redirects for deletion. I have added it to that page for discussion. You may wish to add a comment there if you still wish to see this redirect deleted. In the future, if you nominate a redirect for deletion, please list it. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions. -- JLaTondre 01:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/List of Sci Fi Channel (United States) programs
Ello there, Fitch.. I'd rather like for you to give your input on the future of List of Sci Fi Channel (United States) programs since it may invariably suffer the same fate as Other films aired on The SciFi Channel, so please do so if time permits. I feel it a rather pertinant piece of information concerning the Sci Fi Channel, and its demise may compromise the article in its entirety. DrWho42 04:37, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

link to Rolls-Royce
Hello, when you want to link to the article about a Rolls-Royce, please do not link to Rolls-Royce, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as Rolls-Royce plc by writing out Rolls-Royce. Regards, Jeff3000 06:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * In this edit you linked to the disambiguation page. -- Jeff3000 23:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

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

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Iamunknown 04:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Warner Independent Pictures.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Warner Independent Pictures.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bbedn (talk) 02:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

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

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

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bbedn (talk) 02:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

A potential chat session with Bill Oakley
We at the Simpsons WikiProject have managed to get into contact with the one and only Bill Oakley (who showran The Simpsons from season 7 to 8) and he has agreed to send us some images and to do an IRC chat in the future with us so that we can ask questions about things that we can use in articles. The transcript of this chat will hopefully be posted at NoHomers.net, which I think will be a good enough sorce. Failing that, we'll try The Simpsons Archive. Every member is more than welcome to take part, which will be held at our #wpsimpsons channel. Because not everyone will be able to make the chat, a page has been made where any member can post questions that can be asked. Remember, no fan questions, and due to a lack of time, try to limit it to ones that will help improve an article. That page is here. If you have any questions, ask myself, Xihix (who is the one in contact with him) or post it at WT:DOH, which is where any future updates will be posted. -- Scorpion0422 02:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

William Badger

William Badger (January 13, 1779 – September 21, 1852) was an American manufacturer and mill owner from Gilmanton, New Hampshire. He served in both houses of the New Hampshire state legislature and was the 15th governor of New Hampshire from 1834 to 1836.

Biography
Badger was born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire. Educated at common school and at Gilmanton Academy, Badger worked after his school years to build a cotton cloth factory, a saw mill and a grist mill for his town. In 1804 Badger was made a trustee of Gilmanton Academy; he ultimately became president of the board for the school.

Badger served as an aide to John Langdon (Governor four different times, including 1805 to 1809). In 1810, Badger was elected to the first of three consecutive terms as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives (1810–1812); then he served three terms in the New Hampshire Senate (1814–1817) where he served as President of the Senate in 1816–1817. Badger served as Associate Justice, Court of Common Pleas (1816–1820), and as High Sheriff of Strafford County, New Hampshire (1820–1830). He was a Presidential Elector in the national elections of 1824, 1836 and 1844.

In 1834, Badger won the gubernatorial election, and he won the next term as well. As Governor, Badger called for eliminating capital punishment, a new idea for New Hampshire. He also had to deal with the breakaway Indian Stream Republic. Badger encouraged the legislature to support President Andrew Jackson's successful efforts to do away with the Second Bank of the United States (helping to bring on the Panic of 1837). Badger tried to inject new life into the state militia by statute; he also was interested in bringing smallpox prevention directly to the state's small farming towns.

Lost in the Fog

Lost in the Fog (February 4, 2002 – September 17, 2006) was an American thoroughbred race horse. He won his first 10 starts (including two Breeders' Cup stakes), 11 of his 14 lifetime starts across the country, and career earnings of $978,099. He died of lymphoma during his four-year-old season, and his remains were buried at Golden Gate Fields next to Silky Sullivan.

Bloodlines
Bred by Susan Seper and foaled in Florida, his sire was Lost Soldier, (sire of 10 stakes winners and son of Danzig, who was the son of Northern Dancer—ranked #43 by The Blood-Horse in their top 100 U.S. thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century). His dam was Cloud Break, a Dr. Carter mare. Unraced, Cloud Break is proving a successful broodmare; she also produced the stakes-placed How About My Place, by Out of Place. In foal to Speightstown, Cloud Break was acquired by WinStar Farm in 2005's Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November mixed sale for $600,000. In 2006, she was sold to Charles Deter. He was a descendant of War Admiral and Secretariat.

Lost in the Fog was a $13,000 weanling and a $48,000 yearling. Not reaching his reserve in the 2004 two-year-old Ocala, Florida, Breeders' Sale in March (the stopping price was $195,000), he was sold privately for $140,000 to Harry Aleo, and throughout his short career was trained by Greg Gilchrist. Susan Seper said he was named because of a quizzical look caused by his offset/crooked blaze. He received his name just a few days after foaling.

Winning streak
Lost in the Fog's home track was the San Francisco Bay Area's Golden Gate Fields. In 2005, competing solely in stakes company (with the exception of his maiden), he won the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Sprint Horse. He won 10 straight races, although his hopes of becoming the 2005 Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year winner were dashed on October 29, 2005 when he finished seventh in the Breeders' Cup Sprint. After the Breeders' Cup, Lost in the Fog took six months off. Prior to that he was unbeaten, with a string of 10 sprint victories (short races—six or seven furlongs on the dirt). Because of his success, he never went off at long odds; indeed, he was favored in every lifetime start.

Comeback
The colt lost his first 2006 start, finishing second behind Carthage in the April 22 Oakland Tribune Golden Gate Fields Sprint.

On June 3, 2006, Lost in the Fog returned to his winning ways for a final time with a victory in the six-furlong Grade 3 Aristides Breeders' Cup Handicap at Churchill Downs (named for Aristides, the little horse who won the first Kentucky Derby). Carrying high weight of 124 pounds and ridden by Russell Baze, Lost in the Fog won the $69,024 winner's share of the purse and set a new stakes record. The Aristides was his tenth stakes victory. His final start was the Smile Sprint Handicap at Calder on July 15, 2006, in which the colt finished ninth. This puzzling result suggested to observers that something was wrong with the horse.

Races
Average win margin when undefeated: 6 3/4 lengths

Note: The Ocala Stud Dash Stakes is also known as the Sunshine Millions Dash as part of the Sunshine Millions series for Florida-bred and California-bred horses.

Cancer
In August 2006, believing Lost in the Fog to be suffering from a mild bout of colic, his handlers took him to the California-Davis veterinary school. Performing a biopsy on the horse, the doctors discovered what they believed to be a cancerous mass on his spleen—a lymphoma "about the size of a cantaloupe." The doctors thought that surgery was likely, a rare operation but possibly one that could give Lost in the Fog a full life.

Gilchrist, his trainer, had thought that his horse's recent poor performances—winning only one of three starts this year—might have been due to quarter cracks. "It turns out he's been running with this thing inside him this year," he said. "It shows you what kind of warrior this horse is." Lost in the Fog's owner, Harry Aleo, was extremely concerned about his star horse: "We will do anything we can for the horse. It's almost a Barbaro-type situation."

On August 18, the situation worsened. According to a report in The Blood-Horse, "Two additional tumors were discovered. The first, the size of an egg, was located in the membrane that suspends the spleen. The second, ... as large as the growth found originally on the spleen, is beneath [the horse's] spine along his back," which could not be surgically removed. Gilchrist didn't think it would appropriate to extend Lost in the Fog's life unnecessarily or subject the horse to surgery or chemotherapy.

"We'll keep him in the stall for a week or 10 days," Gilchrist said. "This would be the best thing to do, get him back with his groom. I just couldn't leave him up there (at Davis) to be euthanized and thrown in the bone yard. We're fine with a week, 10 days, maybe two weeks," he said. "But you get beyond that, his quality of life wouldn't be good. This way we'll let the people who have always been around him take care of him. We'll bring him home and make him as happy as we can for awhile."

Death
Lost in the Fog was vanned back to his stall at Golden Gate Fields, where he was pampered for his remaining days. On September 17, 2006, he was quietly euthanized. The colt had been grazing, as he had done twice each day since the discovery of his cancer, when Gilcrist saw he was in obvious distress and ordered him to be euthanized. He said that Lost in the Fog was happy and peaceful until the end.

An autopsy on Lost in the Fog revealed that the cancer was much more widespread than previously thought. The necropsy was performed at University of California at Davis. The doctors originally thought that the tumor, located directly beneath the spine, was about a foot in length, but it ran nearly the entire length of the horse's back.

Dr. David Wilson, director of the university's large-animal clinic and a member of the team who worked on the horse, said that the tumor "went all the way from his pelvis to invade and erode his diaphragm and chest cavity." The tumor also affected the horse's intestinal organs as well as his arteries and kidneys, encroaching on one kidney and compressing both. Coming up alongside Lost in the Fog's aorta and pressing against his blood vessels, the tumor caused swelling in his hind legs. In previous tests, other organs had partly hidden the tumor from view. Additionally, Lost in the Fog bore a football-sized tumor in his spleen.

Harry Aleo was astounded that Lost in the Fog could perform at such a high level before his cancer was diagnosed. Doctors told the owner that the tumors could have been growing for up to a year. Only weeks before his death, however, the horse continued to record bullet workouts at Golden Gate. Lost in the Fog's remains were cremated. There had been discussion of their going to Greg and Karen Dodd's Southern Chase Farm in Williston, Florida, where the horse was raised. However, arrangements were made for the colt's ashes to be buried at Golden Gate Fields, where he was stabled. He is buried next to Silky Sullivan.

Laufenburg, Germany

Laufenburg is a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, part of the Waldshut district. It has approximately 4300 inhabitants (including 6 outskirts 8300 inhabitants). Laufenburg is separated from a Swiss city with the same name by the river Rhine.

Cities in the near vicinity

 * Near surrounding (<15 km): Bad Säckingen, Waldshut-Tiengen, Rickenbach (Hotzenwald), Albbruck, Murg am Hochrhein, Stein AG
 * Further away (>15 km): Lörrach, Basel, Brugg, Aarau, Zürich, Schaffhausen, St. Blasien, Todtmoos, Freiburg

City administration
The city of Laufenburg encompasses also Binzgen, Grunholz, Hauenstein, Hochsal, Luttingen, Rhina, Rotzel, Stadenhausen.

Brief history
The city was first noted in 1207. In November 1638 one side of the city was taken by Imperialist forces. The bridge across the Rhine was burned afterwards.

Laufenburg was one city until about 1800 when Napoleon divided the city, ordering that the Rhine should become the border. Ever since the two cities have been separated by nationality. The city was well placed on major rapids of the Rhine, which allowed the town to collect taxes as well as catch salmon. In the early 20th century the rapids were demolished in order to build a hydroelectric power plant.

Bridge construction
In December 2004 a new bridge was opened to the east of the city, replacing the previous bridge which had become too congested, because the roads connecting the bridge were single lane roads but were being used for two way traffic. With the opening of the new bridge a new shopping development was erected to the east of the town.

Its construction was hampered by a major engineering mistake. For reasons of politics and budgets, Switzerland and Germany each constructed half the bridge, rather than one unified contractor doing everything. The half-bridges needed to align precisely on height. Switzerland and Germany use different references for sea-level: the Mediterranean Sea and North Sea respectively. The result is that height above sea level differs by 270 mm between the two references. This quirk was known to the engineers and they accounted for it, but the calculations made a sign error. Rather than cancelling out this known difference, it instead doubled it to 540 mm.

Capcom Classics Collection

Capcom Classics Collection (カプコン・クラシックスコレクション) is a compilation of arcade games released by Capcom for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox on September 27, 2005 in North America and in 2006 in Japan. It was developed by Digital Eclipse Software (then Backbone Entertainment), Sensory Sweep, and its Japanese developer Klein Computer Entertainment. A second volume, Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2, was released on November 24, 2006 in North America, for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The second volume as well as the Xbox version of the first volume were not released in Japan.

Two handheld compilations, Capcom Classics Collection Remixed (not released in Japan) and Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded (Capcom Classics Collection in Japan) were released on March 22 and October 24, 2006 respectively on the PlayStation Portable. Reloaded and Remixed can also be played on the PlayStation Vita by downloading it on a PS3 and copying it via the USB transfer function to the Vita. A Game Boy Advance compilation, Capcom Classics Mini-Mix (North America only), was released on September 19, 2006. Reloaded and Mini-Mix were not developed by Digital Eclipse, but rather by Klein Computer Entertainment and Sensory Sweep, respectively.

Many of the games included in this compilation were re-released as part of Capcom Arcade Cabinet for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from February 19 to April 17, 2013.

Overview
In 1998, Capcom produced a series of five video game compilations titled Capcom Generations for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn, released in Japan and the PAL region. The series as a whole compiled over 15 arcade games and the Super NES game Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Each volume was accompanied by extra features such as a historical overview of each title, artwork gallery, hints and even cast profiles. All games in these compilations also contained enhanced gameplay options such as rapid fire, a bigger screen, and remixed soundtrack.

Volume 1 of Capcom Classics Collection contains all sixteen games from Capcom Generations and Street Fighter Collection 2 respectively (converted from these ports rather than the arcade originals) and six added emulated titles.

Volume 2 features only titles not included in the Capcom Generations series, and has excluded Super Street Fighter II (1993) over a copy of Block Block (1991) despite the Breakout-type game being already featured on Capcom Puzzle World for the PlayStation Portable.

As with the Capcom Generations titles, all games contain extra features, which consist of gameplay tips, artwork, listenable music and cast profiles, although the contents are not identical. All the extra features are typically unlocked by getting high scores or achieving unusual gameplay objectives, such as collecting the Yashichi item in several games or picking up Edi. E's gum in Final Fight. High scores can be saved for all the games for three different difficulty settings: Normal, Hardcore (in which only the minimum number of lives and continues are available and the AI is at its best), or Custom (if the player changes the options from the Normal or Hardcore settings).

The home console volumes feature one bonus game each. The first volume features a "Deluxe Versus Mode" for the Street Fighter II games which allows two players to compete against each other by offering the players a selection of characters from all three installments of the Street Fighter II series included in the compilation. This game mode was originally from the Street Fighter Collection 2 compilation for the PlayStation and Saturn, which are the versions emulated in Capcom Classics Collection and Reloaded. Remixed and Volume 2 contain a version of Quiz and Dragons that is exclusively composed of Capcom-related questions.

Ottoman Old Regime

The history of the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century has classically been described as one of stagnation and reform. In analogy with 18th-century France, it is also known as the Ancien Régime or Old Regime, contrasting with the "New Regime" of the Nizam-i Cedid and Tanzimat in the 19th century.

The period was characterized as one of decentralization in the Ottoman political system.

Political and economic reforms enacted during the preceding War of the Holy League (1683-1699), particularly the sale of life-term tax farms (malikāne) instituted in 1695, enabled provincial figures to achieve an unprecedented degree of influence in Ottoman politics. This decentralization had once led historians to believe that the Ottoman Empire was in decline during this period, part of the larger and now debunked Ottoman Decline Thesis, but it is now recognized that the Ottomans were successfully able to tie emerging provincial elites politically and financially to the central government.

The empire likewise experienced significant economic growth during much of the eighteenth century and was, until the disastrous war with Russia in 1768-74, also able to match its rivals in military strength. In light of this, the empire's history during this period is now generally viewed in more neutral terms, eschewing concepts such as 'decline' and 'stagnation'.

The Old Regime was brought to an end not by a single dramatic event, but by the gradual process of reform begun by Sultan Selim III (r. 1789-1807), known as the Nizam-ı Cedid (New Order). Although Selim himself was deposed, his reforms were continued by his successors into the nineteenth century and utterly transformed the nature of the Ottoman Empire.

Malikāne
Of crucial importance for this period in Ottoman history was the institution of malikāne, or life-term tax farm. Tax farming had been used as a method of revenue-raising throughout the seventeenth century, but contracts only began to be sold on a life-term basis in 1695, as part of the empire's wartime fiscal reforms. According to the malikāne contract, individuals could compete in auction for the right of taxation over a given revenue source, the winner of which would agree to submit his promised amount to the government each year, as well as providing a lump sum up front equal to two to three times the annual amount. This system provided the Ottoman government with a much more stable source of revenue, and they enjoyed significant budget surpluses throughout much of the eighteenth century.

However, the impact of malikāne extended far beyond its original economic and fiscal purpose. It facilitated a new style of government in the Ottoman Empire, which has been characterized as one of "decentralization". Malikāne contracts were split into shares and privately traded on an ever-expanding market, taking advantage of the growing economy of the early eighteenth century Ottoman Empire. These state assets were traded among numerous social groups, including but not limited to military and religious officials, rural gentry, urban notables, and janissaries.

This provided provincial figures with new ways to interact with the Ottoman state. While in previous centuries a strict division between the military-administrative askeri class and the civilian reaya class had been at least theoretically enforced, the sale of malikāne enabled the latter group to take part in government administration. Provincial notables enjoyed the legitimacy they earned by tying themselves formally to the Ottoman state, while the Ottoman state benefited from its closer relationship with the notables, who were more effectively able to handle issues of local government and taxation.

The institution of malikāne continued largely undisturbed until 1793, when Selim III began to phase it out as part of his general reform effort, known as the New Order (Niẓām-ı Cedīd). As malikāne contracts expired they were transferred to the New Order treasury, and recontracted to individuals whom the state deemed reliable. This attempt at centralization was opposed by provincial figures who by then had a vested interest in the continuation of malikāne, and contributed to Selim III's overthrow in 1807. Malikāne contracts thus continued to be sold and traded until the 1840s, when they were finally eliminated as part of the empire's extensive reform effort, known as the Tanzimat.

Central administration
Over the course of the seventeenth century, the nature of the Ottoman Empire's government had transformed from a patrimonial system into one which was supported more by bureaucracy than by the personal authority of the sultan. The last effort of a militarily active sultan to personally control the entire government of the empire was undone in the 1703 rebellion known as the Edirne incident, in which Mustafa II was deposed.

Major governmental offices were no longer located within the imperial palace, and exercised greater independent authority. By the 1790s the central bureaucracy had grown to number some 1,500-2,000 scribes, representing a significant increase over the 183 who were serving in 1593.

High-ranking bureaucrats found their social mobility increased, and many of them went on to establish successful careers as provincial governors and even grand viziers, posts which in previous centuries were typically limited to men of military backgrounds.

Provincial administration
Ottoman rule in the provinces was predicated upon maintaining the loyalty of local interest groups. State authority was represented by the provincial governor (beylerbey) and the judge (kadı), the latter carrying out most of the day-to-day administration of the province.

Representing local interests were figures known as "notables" (ayan). Ayan came from diverse backgrounds; what distinguished them was their entrenched local status. Unlike Ottoman state officials, they did not generally migrate from position to position across the empire, but established deep roots within a small geographical area. Ayan utilized patronage networks to wield significant influence within their local city or region, and their cooperation was essential in order for Ottoman provincial administration to function. During the eighteenth century, ayan were tied to the state through the aforementioned institution of malikāne. By purchasing malikāne, ayan were able to consolidate their control over their local region of influence, but were also linked to the state in a symbiotic relationship. Just as the Ottoman government relied on them to maintain order in the provinces, so too did they come to rely on the Ottoman government to provide them with legitimacy and continued access to malikāne revenues.

Thus paradoxically, the Ottoman government both granted provincial figures a greater degree of autonomy than ever before, while also tying them more closely to the central state in a mutually beneficial relationship. The central government and provincial power-holders thus remained interdependent, and the latter did not seek independence from the Ottoman Empire.

During the seventeenth century provincial governors had been appointed for unspecified periods of time, producing a significant degree of uncertainty among them with regard to security of office. By the eighteenth century, all governors were appointed for one-year tenures, at the end of which they were subject to review and potential re-appointment.

Provincial government in the Ottoman Empire was reliant upon continued cooperation between the centrally-appointed governors and local ayan. The latter played a key role in tax collection, particularly during wartime, and met in regular councils with the provincial governors or their representatives (mütesellims). Frequently, mütesellims were chosen from among the local ayan, and some families acquired the office on a hereditary basis. Particularly powerful ayan families, such as the al-Azms of Damascus, were also able to acquire governorships.

Particularly during the second half of the eighteenth century, the duties of provincial government were carried out in local councils. Although varying from region to region, major figures on such councils would include the local judge (kadı), the commander of the Janissaries, the commander of the fortress garrison (dizdar), and local ayan leaders. Meetings were held either in the residence of the kadı or the provincial governor's office.

Military
The Ottoman military was capable of matching those of its European rivals during the first half of the eighteenth century, and there was no significant technological gap between them.

However, following the 1739 Treaty of Belgrade, the Ottomans remained at peace in Europe for nearly thirty years, missing out on the rapid improvements in military technology and organization associated with the Seven Years' War (1756-63), particularly the development of highly trained and disciplined regimental forces, innovations in the tactical deployment of small-caliber cannons, and the widespread use of socket bayonets as a counter to cavalry.

Extended peace also resulted in a lack of practical experience among Ottoman commanders, in contrast with Russian generals such as Rumiantsev and Suvorov, whose abilities were honed during the Seven Years' War. Thus when war finally broke out with Russia in 1768 the Ottomans suffered devastating defeats, resulting in the loss of Crimea and the signing of the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca in 1774.

Economy
The Ottoman economy experienced general expansion and growth during the first three quarters of the eighteenth century. The Ottoman budget grew dramatically, from 1 billion akçe in 1699 to 1.6 billion in 1748. In contrast with the previous century, the Ottomans enjoyed budget surpluses during most of these years.

Istanbul's commercial infrastructure was significantly revamped and expanded during the eighteenth century, improvements which underpinned the empire's rapidly growing international trade. The Ottoman economy particularly benefited from the export of fine textiles, handmade yarns, and leather goods.

Social and cultural life
The eighteenth century was a time of increasing consumption and sociability among the Ottoman elite. Dozens of palaces sprang up along the shores of the Bosphorus for the rich Ottoman grandees, who used their wealth to fund Istanbul's rapid expansion. Fountains were constructed across the city, providing fresh water for a growing urban population.

In 1721 Sultan Ahmed III ordered the construction of a new summer palace near Kağıthane in Istanbul, to be named Saʾdabad ("Abode of Felicity"). Whereas Topkapı Palace enhanced the prestige of the Ottoman dynasty through seclusion, Saʾdabad was meant to serve as a stage for a much more visible and ostentatious sultanate, similar to the palace of Versailles in France.

Coffeehouses played a major role in public life, not only by providing items of consumption for the common people, but also as places where people could come together on a relatively equal basis to discuss public affairs. While the seventeenth century had witnessed some degree of backlash against the spread of coffeehouses from the state, which was concerned with their socially subversive influence, and from the ultra-conservative religious movement of the Kadızadelis, during the eighteenth century there was no longer an effort to ban them entirely. Coffeehouse culture had become an established feature of the cities and towns of the Ottoman Empire, and now the state limited itself to surveillance measures in an effort to control the unruly groups which could gather in them. Socially, they became more stratified, with different venues emerging for those of varying social ranks.

For Ottoman women, the most important venue for public sociability was the bathhouse (hamam). Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, who visited an Edirne bathhouse in 1718, stated that the bathhouse played the same role for women that the coffeehouse played for men. Large numbers of women could meet on a regular basis, where they would have opportunities to discuss public affairs. In the early eighteenth century Istanbul's water supply was significantly upgraded, allowing the number of bathhouses to multiply across the city. Bathhouses were naturally segregated by sex, but also sometimes catered to particular social classes as well.

Intellectual life
The first Turkish-language printing press was established in Istanbul in 1727 by Ibrahim Müteferrika, a Hungarian convert to Islam. Both the imperial court and religious authorities recognized the value of the press, and thus approved of its use. Müteferrika's press was mainly used to disseminate historical, geographical, and linguistic works, but suffered due to low market demand for printed books in comparison with more prestigious manuscripts, eventually closing down in 1796-7.

1695–1703 Mustafa II
Although Mustafa II (1695–1703), last of campaigning sultans, won a few minor victories, he suffered a devastating loss in the Battle of Zenta by Prince Eugene of Savoy of Austria. By 1699, Ottoman Hungary had been conquered by the Austrians. The Treaty of Karlowitz was signed that year. By this treaty, Mustafa II ceded Hungary (see Ottoman Hungary) and Transylvania to Austria, Morea to the Venetian Republic and withdrew Ottoman forces from Polish Podolia. Also during this reign, Peter I of Russia (1682–1725) captured the Black Sea fortress of Azov from the Ottomans (1697). Mustafa was dethroned during the revolt named the Edirne event, which was preceded by a large-scale campaign in Georgia.

1703–1730 Ahmed III
In 1710 Charles XII of Sweden convinced Sultan Ahmed III to declare war against Russia, and the Ottoman forces under Baltacı Mehmet Pasha won a major victory at the Battle of Prut. In the subsequent treaty, Russia returned Azov to the Ottomans, agreed to demolish the fortress of Taganrog and others in the area, and to stop interfering with the affairs of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth or Cossacks. Discontent at the leniency of these terms was so strong in Istanbul that it nearly brought on a renewal of the war.

In 1715 Morea was taken from the Venetians. This led to hostilities with Austria, in which the Ottoman Empire had an unsuccessful outcome, and Belgrade fell into the hands of Austria in 1717. Through the mediation of England and the Netherlands the peace of Passarowitz was concluded in 1718, by which the Ottomans retained their conquests from the Venetians, but lost Banat.

During the course of the Persian war the Ottomans made successive conquests with little resistance from Persian armies, though often impeded by the nature of the country and the fierce spirit of the native tribes. After a few years, however, the war became less favourable to Ottoman ambition. The celebrated Persian military leader Nadir Konli Khan (who afterwards reconquered and conquered states for himself), gained his first renown by exploits against the enemies of Shah Tahmasp.

Most of Ahmet's reign was the sub period known as Tulip period. The period was marked by a high taste of architecture, literature and luxury as well as the first examples of industrial productions. But the social problems peaked and after the revolt of Patrona Halil Ahmet was dethroned.

1730–1754 Mahmud I
Although Mahmud was brought to the throne by the civil strife engendered by Patrona Halil, he did not espouse Halil's anti-reform agenda. In fact, much of his first year as sultan was spent in dealing with the reactionary forces unleashed by Halil. Eventually, on 24 November 1731, he was forced to execute Halil and his main followers, whereupon the rebellion ceased.

Another war erupted between the Ottomans and Russia in May 1736. Russian forces captured Azov (1736) and Ochakov (1737), but failed to take Bender and suffered immense losses from disease and logistical challenges after unsuccessfully invading the Crimea in 1738. In 1737 Austria joined the war on the Russian side, but suffered disastrous defeats against the Ottomans, particularly in the Battle of Grocka. By 1739 the Ottomans had reconquered Belgrade, forcing the Austrians to make peace. Abandoned by their allies, Russia too sued for peace, abandoning all of their conquests except for Azov.

The Persian wars saw Ottoman forces ranged against the military genius of Nadir Shah. The Ottomans managed to retain control of Baghdad, but Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia fell back within the Persian sphere of influence.

1754–1757 Osman III
During Osman's reign there were several big fires in Istanbul, the capital.

1757–1774 Mustafa III
Ever since the Patrona Halil rebellion had overthrown Ahmed III in 1730, the government had largely been dominated by the empire's Chief Black Eunuchs. Grand viziers served for very limited periods in office. This changed when Mustafa III came to the throne in 1757. The son of Ahmed III, Mustafa sought to revive his father's policy of close cooperation with the grand viziers. In November he appointed Koca Ragıp Pasha (1757-1763), one of the most capable statesmen of the century.

1774–1789 Abdul Hamid I
In 1774 after a catastrophic war with Russia, the Ottomans were compelled to sign the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca.

Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.

Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (BBH) is the oldest and one of the largest private investment banks in the United States. In 1931, the merger of Brown Brothers & Co. (founded in 1818) and Harriman Brothers & Co. formed the current BBH.

Brown Brothers Harriman is also notable for the number of influential American politicians, government appointees, and Cabinet members who have worked at the company, such as W. Averell Harriman, Prescott Bush, Robert A. Lovett, Richard W. Fisher, Robert Roosa, and Alan Greenspan.

Overview
Brown Brothers Harriman provides advisory, wealth management, commercial banking, and investor services for corporate institutions and high-net-worth individual clients. Alongside the aforementioned services, the firm provides global custody, foreign exchange, private equity, merger and acquisitions, investment management for individuals and institutions, personal trust and estate administration, and securities brokerage services. Organized as a partnership, BBH has approximately 6,000 staff in 18 offices throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Currently, the firm has 38 partners, and acts as custodian and administrator for $3.3 trillion and $1.2 trillion in assets, respectively.

History
After immigrating to Baltimore in 1800 and building a successful linen mercantile trading business,  Alexander Brown and his four sons co-founded Alex. Brown & Sons. In 1818, one son, John Alexander Brown, traveled to Philadelphia to establish John A. Brown and Co. In 1825, another son, James Brown, established Brown Brothers & Co. on Pine Street in Lower Manhattan and relocated to Wall Street in 1833. This firm eventually acquired all other Brown branches in the U.S. Another son, William Brown, had established William Brown & Co. in England in 1810, which was renamed Brown, Shipley & Co. in 1839 and became a separate entity in 1918.

Following the panic of 1837, Brown Brothers withdrew from most of its lending business. Two of the brothers, John and George, sold their shares in the company to the other two brothers, William and James. During the recovery from this economic turmoil, they chose to focus solely on currency exchange and international trade.

Merger
On January 2, 1931, Brown Brothers & Co. merged with two other business entities, Harriman Brothers & Company, a private bank started with railway money, and W. A. Harriman & Co. to form Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. Founding partners included: • James Brown

• Thatcher M. Brown Sr

• Prescott Bush

• Louis Curtis

• Moreau Delano

• John Henry Hammond

• E. Roland Harriman

• W. Averell Harriman

• Robert A. Lovett

• Ray Morris

• Knight Woolley

• Ralph T. Crane

• Ellery Sedgwick

• James Robert

• Charles Denston

• Dickey Phillips

• Blair Lee Louis Curtis Jr.

Time December 22, 1930, issue announced that the three-way merger featured 11 Yale graduates among 16 founding partners. Eight of the partners listed above, except for Moreau Delano and Thatcher Brown, were Skull and Bones members.

In 1930s the company acted as a U.S. base for the German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Adolf Hitler.

After the passage of the Glass-Steagall Act, the partners decided to focus on commercial banking, becoming a private bank, and to spin its securities marketing and underwriting off into Harriman, Ripley and Company which eventually evolved into Drexel Burnham Lambert via mergers.

W. Averell Harriman, the founding partner in the firm left to go into public service. He left the leadership of Brown Brothers Harriman to his younger brother E. Roland Harriman. W. Averell Harriman was the ambassador and statesman responsible for the relationship between Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt during World War II. Some historical records of Brown Brothers Harriman and its precursor companies are housed in the manuscript collections at the New-York Historical Society.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Keetoowah/Evidence

Warms my heart
The evidence on this page warms my heart. Editors who care so deeply about keeping article content that they err only in their edit commnents. Nothing inappropriate in the text! Don't get me wrong, I think Keetoowah should be admonished for his remarks, but certainly not punished in any way. He was preserving article content, first and foremost!

Sam Spade 21:47, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Keetoowah just can't get along with others
This user continually pushes his own pov on articles, sometimes with specious arguments, othertimes with overly long comments, other times he goes for direct insults and so on. I'm not sure just how the arbitration process works, so I'm posting thoughts here for discussion and will study up on arbitration. Arbitrators would please see Keetoowah's editing at Ward Churchill (many archives of discussion should be skimmed over); also observe his editing behaviour at Air America Radio. Summary-- Keetoowah does not seem at all interested in being part of the Wikipedia community, but rather he seems to view the project as an adversarily process in which he stuggles to win at, seemingly, at any cost.

Jun Kaneko

Jun Kaneko (金子 潤) is a Japanese-born American ceramic artist known for creating large scale ceramic sculpture. Based out of a studio warehouse in Omaha, Nebraska, Kaneko primarily works in clay to explore the effects of repeated abstract surface motifs by using ceramic glaze.

Early life and education
In 1942 he was born in Nagoya, Japan, where he studied painting in high school. He came to the United States in 1963 to continue those studies at Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles when his focus was drawn to sculptural ceramics through his introduction to Fred Marer. He studied with Peter Voulkos, Paul Soldner, and Jerry Rothman in California during the time now defined as the contemporary ceramics movement.

Career
The following decade, Kaneko taught at various U.S. art schools, including Scripps College, Cranbrook Academy of Art and Rhode Island School of Design.

Kaneko established his third studio in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1990 where he primarily works. He has also created work in several experimental studios including European Ceramic Work Center, Otsuka Omi Ceramic Company, Fabric Workshop, Bullseye Glass Co., and A.S.A.P. He created series of large-scale sculptures from 1982-1983 at his Omaha Project, from 1992-1994 at his Fremont Project in California and currently at his Mission Clay Project in Kansas. He produced a large Dango series of ceramic pieces resembling vases without openings. (Dango means "dumpling" or "closed form" in Japanese.) The Honolulu Museum of Art has four of these dango permanently installed in a courtyard. His prolific roster of diverse work appears in numerous international solo and group exhibitions annually.

Kaneko's technique involves the use of masking tape and colored slips, which he uses to cover free-standing ceramic forms and wall-hung pieces with graphic motifs and markings. He frequently favors the large oval plate as one of his sculptural formats, which serves as a canvas for arrangements of straight, curving, and spiraling lines, creating an interplay of abstract imagery on a three-dimensional surface.

He also designed sets and costumes for opera performances: Opera Omaha's Madama Butterfly (2006) and a co production of the San Francisco Opera, Opera Omaha, Opera Carolina and the Washington National Opera, The Magic Flute (2012).

His work is included in more than forty museum collections including the Hawaii State Art Museum, the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Arts and Design (New York City), the Museum of Nebraska Art, the Sheldon Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Scripps College, the Shigaraki Ceramics Museum (Shigaraki, Japan), and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. His most recent collected works is Water Plaza at Bartle Hall in Kansas City, Missouri. Kaneko has realized over twenty-five public art commissions around the world. He has been honored with national, state and organization fellowships and an honorary doctorate from the Royal College of Art in London.

Andreas Mouratis

Andreas Mouratis (Ανδρέας Μουράτης; 29 November 1926 – 10 December 2000), nicknamed Missouri, was a Greek footballer, who played for Olympiacos. Besides his football career, he participated in the Greek Resistance during World War II, as a member of the National Liberation Front.

Biography
He was born in 1926, in Piraeus, to a poor family of refugees from Asia Minor. He was not a good student in his childhood and did several different jobs during his youth. During the axis occupation of Greece, he was active in the Resistance, stealing food from the occupation forces, and sharing it with other locals. He was also a part of United Panhellenic Organization of Youth (EPON), the youth branch of the National Liberation Front (EAM). In 1943, he joined Proodeftiki and in 1945, he was transferred to Olympiacos, asking in return, instead of money, that the state security delete his personal information from their archives. In the following years, he also played for the Greek national football team, but he was removed from the team in 1953, after demanding, along with his team mates, that they be paid by the HFF the money they had been promised for participating in the preliminaries of the 1954 FIFA World Cup.

Mouratis died at the age of 74.

Career
He was the leading power of Olympiacos in the post-war era and won numerous league and cup titles. He was considered one of the favourite players of Olympiacos. Vigorous, aggressive and passionate, he embodied the ideal player characteristics for the fans of Olympiacos.

He made 16 appearances and scored one goal for the Greece national football team. He was also member of the national side for the 1952 Olympic Games, but he did not play in any matches.

Mouratis was nicknamed "Mourat Aslan" (Mouratis the Lion) by the Turkish press, after a friendly match of the national teams of Greece and Turkey, because he was playing aggressively like a lion.

Honours

 * Olympiacos
 * Panhellenic Championship: 1946–47, 1947–48, 1951–52, 1953–54, 1954–55
 * Greek Cup: 1946–47, 1950–51, 1951–52, 1952–53, 1953–54
 * Piraeus FCA Championship: 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955
 * Greek Military Team
 * World Military Cup: 1962

 * As it says at the top of the page when you edit it, See: WikiProject_Dog_breeds for full explanation of the syntax used in this template.

The dog breeds project has a very specific list of what it considers to be the major English-language kennel clubs, which are represented in the template. If you'd like to open this dicussion again (not sure it ever entirely closed) about how to choose what to list in the breed box, feel free to do so on the talk page for the WikiProject.

The external link 'breed standard' does not work. It leads to a page where you have to log in.

Addressed to "Elf" and TBjornstad. These dogs, Africanis etc, please note they are not "breeds", they are not Sighthounds in any sense of the classic use of gazehound, greyhound etc. This category "Sighthound" has obviously become a List Farm. Some of the names are of historic, defunct, even non-existent breeds. The editors need to consider precisely what the difference is between Hound and Sighthound. Wikipedia should reflect reality, not create its own assumed "reality". In all cases where the use and function define a type, variety or breed - and that is always the case with hunting dogs or hounds - then the original use should be clearly provided and it should be verifiable. Please address these problems, such as the incongruity of having the Rhodesian Ridgeback and Podenco/Ibizan Hound in both the Scent Hound and Sighthound categories.

Furthermore, all hounds have a local origin, a Country Of Origin, consider the Saluki, Afghan, English Greyhound, Rampur, Borzoi, Chart Polski,etc. which makes your category of "Aboriginal dog" suspect. There is no national Kennel Club that makes that distinction, it is a non-existent and spurious category. Please reflect on exactly what you are doing and inform yourselves with the real facts, the real history. Thank you. --Richard Hawkins 15:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Not "land races", but rather the very definition of "landrace"
It says "These types are not "land races" as dictated by the Africanis Society, but rather unique types developed for certain specific conditions, and that do exhibit differences in type one from the other." But the article landrace says that "A landrace is a local variety of a domesticated animal or plant species which has developed over time, by adaptation to the natural and cultural environment in which it lives". So the sentence makes no sense. Chrisrus (talk) 06:55, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

May I add a thought? 'Landrace' was a new term to me when I began researching native ponies, but it's entirely fit for purpose when describing various semi-feral equine species across the globe. However I share Chrisrus' doubt about its relevance with reguard to domesticated canines. Surely the UK Kennel Club (and I believe KC's of other countries) define breeds as 'unique types developed for certain specific condtions'? If this is the case, it seems unreasonable to class all domestic African dogs, whatever their phenotype, as 'land race' when other countries are allowed specific breeds. Just my opinion of course... -Neta — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.128.92 (talk) 18:30, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Definitely a landrace (or perhaps several, depending on definition). The efforts by one, possibly two, groups to establish standardized breeds from Africanis foundation stock doesn't change that, it simply introduces new subtopics. We cover all landrace-into-breed efforts the same way: write about the landrace, cover the breed as a subtopic (see, e.g., Aegean cat), unless and until the breed becomes fully recognized by international registries, in which case write about them the other way around (see, e.g., Manx cat, and any of a zillion dog breeds developed from local landraces such as the Samoyed). If the breed is firmly established, it is the main topic, as many people will have heard of it through breed books and such; if the breed[s] is/are not established, then treating them as anything but provisional attempts would violate WP:NOT policy.  Most attempts to establish new breeds, and WP is not in a position to declare success until the world declares success.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:05, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Declared "landrace" Breeds
I think we should have a discussion on this issue to avoid the same debate that we had on the Boerboel article, like the Boerboel the Africanis is a declared landrace breed under act 62 of 1998 AIA and IMO should be included in the article as such. I look forward to hearing your opinions wrt to the matter regardsJln115 | Talk
 * Hello Jln115, these dogs were by definition a landrace. Cavalryman (talk) 18:01, 9 October 2020 (UTC).
 * Yes 100 % agree!! hence I would like to propose we edit the opening paragraph from "The Africanis is a dog breed from a landrace of dogs that occur across southern Africa." to "The Africanis is a (declared South African)landrace dog breed that occurs across southern Africa" or something similar regardsJln115 | Talk
 * I would oppose that opening sentence, it has no merit outside of South African bureaucracy speak. Cavalryman (talk) 13:12, 11 October 2020 (UTC).

Regardless your opinion if its South African bureaucracy speak or not, It still is a declared landrace dog breed and should be included at least somewhere in the article imo. Jln115 (talk) 20:48, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but nowhere near the opening sentence. Cavalryman (talk) 21:03, 11 October 2020 (UTC).

Nope. The present text is fine. See thread above. The gist: This is landrace (or continuum of landraces), about which quite a bit has been written. There are some very provision efforts to attempt to establish one or more standardized breeds from them as foundation stock, but we have no idea whether these efforts will be successful beyond local (non-independent, primary-source) breeder claims. When something like FCI, AKC, and other major kennel clubs recognize them as an established breed, then we have sufficient sourcing to consider them a breed as well as a landrace (or rather that we have two very closely topics, historical landrace and recent breed, that are probably best covered in the same article). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:09, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Landrace vs Breed
I have been asked by the Chairperson of the Africanis Society of Southern Africa (ASSA) to correct the statement on this Wikipedia article, to the effect that the Africanis is either a breed or a developing breed. There is currently no breed standard or developing / emerging breed standard. The breed standard previously published by the Kennel Union of South Africa (KUSA) has been retracted at the request of ASSA. I have appended the KUSA letter below. When I try to correct the article leader, Cavalryman immediately undoes my change. Even if there were an Africanis breed under development, it should be given a sub-topic and certainly not be in the leading paragraph of this article.

 * Dear Mrs Gallant,

 * Chairperson AfriCanis Society,

 * We refer to your email of the 9 September 2019 requesting the withdrawal of the AfriCanis from the KUSA list of Breed Standards under the Emerging Breed Group.

 * This serves to advise that the Federal Council has acceded to your request and have given the KUSA Office a directive  to remove the Africanis Breed Standard from the KUSA website and from the list of Breed Standards recorded  in Schedule 2 Appendix A and D, as requested.

 * We trust that this will meet with your approval and meets the AfriCanis Society’s requirements.

 * Hello, thank you for disclosing your conflict of interest with this article, I have left you a message on your talk page articulating what should do from here, basically you should stop make additions to the page itself and suggest amendments here on the article talk page.
 * I am afraid the above correspondence does not count for anything here on Wikipedia, everything on Wikipedia should be cited to reliable sources that preferably are independent of the subject. Whilst organisations such as the ASSA can be cited for discrete aspects of the topic, they are a primary source and do not trump reliable secondary sources for information about the topic. Regards, Cavalryman (talk) 12:12, 6 January 2021 (UTC).

Dear, thanks for your pointers, particularly appreciated as I am a Wikipedia newcomer. Please see my response to your post regarding the alleged conflict of interest, which I refute, on my talk page. I would like to point out that your proposed content, which states that the Africanis is a breed, is not supported by secondary sources, unless I'm mistaken. My concern here is that, based on my research, the Wikipedia page would be making an unsubstantiated claim that the Africanis is a breed. As another user pointed out previously on this talk page, any derived breeds would anyway be secondary to the landrace and require a sub-topic. Bokaapje (talk) 12:20, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are making edits at the behest of the ASSA you have a conflict of interest, and you have stated above that you are doing so.
 * I have just noticed that you have removed secondary sources from the article, I ask that you restore both the sources and what was cited to them, otherwise I will revert to the last version of the page that included that information. Cavalryman (talk) 12:33, 6 January 2021 (UTC).
 * , what you are trying to incorporate is original research and you have removed two reliable secondary sources that specify this is a breed developed from the landrace of dog found throughout southern Africa. The ASSA is not a reliable source for anything but their own activities, and whilst it remains published (which it does) the KUSA standard should and will remain linked in the article. I suggest you familiarise yourself with WP:NPOV, it is highly inappropriate to remove reliable secondary sources (Morris and Arman) that contradict your own point of view that is only supported by original research and flimsy primary sources. Cavalryman (talk) 23:14, 6 January 2021 (UTC).

From my point of view, it was never clear if the objective of this article was attempting to address a landrace, a "developing breed", or a combination of both, so I will allow you both to continue that discussion. However, I will certainly be stressing compliance with Wikipedia Policy WP:POL. My issues are: If WP:CONSENSUS cannot be reached, I encourage you both to seek a third opinion WP:3O. William Harris (talk) 00:16, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) the removal of correctly cited sources; I have no issue with the contrasting of differing positions taken by authors but these must be made looking from a neutral point of view WP:NPOV
 * 2) claims which sources did not make, or stating dubious findings as if they were a matter of fact rather than elaborating that these were possibilities e.g. Gautier p620 "attribute canid cranial remains....with some hesitation to a dog" and dated 10,000-7,000 years old being stated that this was a dog dated 7,000 years old. (Note: The accepted fossil is 5,900 years old.) The Gallant reference has no page number, and what is claimed is to be weighed in the context that this is not an WP:INDEPENDENT source.
 * 3) the use of Wikipedia to promote products (books, organisations) per WP:NOTPROMO

The answer is simple. There is no "breed" or "developing breed" of Africanis. Furthermore, breeds are inherently derivative to landraces. This isn't a matter of reasonable debate, it's scientific fact. I have spoken to KUSA who have removed their erroneous "breed standard", and you'll find that the links to a "breed standard" at KUSA are now broken. But I'm not going to make any more contributions because it is too frustrating to have them undone arbitrarily as you have done Cavalryman and William Harris. I object in particular to your edits and justifications for the following reasons: Bokaapje (talk) 09:01, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) You have removed several valid secondary sources (Gallant, van Schalkwyk, Coppinger and others)
 * 2) The citation of reliable secondary sources does not constitute the promotion of products
 * 3) This article should place and describe a variety of dog in the Linnean taxonomy, before promoting any status as a breed
 * 4) There is no breed standard in existence for the Africanis, yet you keep changing this article to state that there is
 * 5) You seem to be favouring or indeed promoting the views and products of the dog fancy hobby community over those of respected, peer-reviewed scientists
 * 6) The accusations of conflict of interest and promotion of products are unjustified
 * 7) Removing my entire edit to reinstate the two reference citations is to throw the baby out with the bathwater

Would a separate articles for the landrace and the breed, with a disambiguation page, perhaps be a solution? Bokaapje (talk) 09:42, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

 * I shall not enter into a discussion of rhetoric point by point (we both know exactly what the score is here), but I furnish the following documentation from the KUSA Fedco Meeting in support of the breed standard being withdrawn - this is a WP:PRIMARY source that other editors can WP:VERIFY: https://www.kusa.co.za/index.php/documents/minutes-agendas/3023-2019-12-fedco-minutes

"9.7. The AfriCanis Nguni dog

LW tabled a curiously indignant letter from Mrs Edith Gallant, objecting to the AfriCanis being identified as an emerging breed on the KUSA website, rather than as a landrace. On behalf of the AfriCanis Society, Mrs Gallant expressed the wish that the reference to the AfriCanis as an emerging breed be removed from the KUSA website.

Fedco considered the documentation and Mrs Gallant’s plea and it was decided, unanimously, to remove all references to the breed from the KUSA website.

Proposed JH, seconded GM"

William Harris (talk) 10:24, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Interesting! Thank you for finding that User:William Harris. I wonder where the indignation comes from. To me, whether this or that kennel club chooses to create a breed standard and to name it Africanis or AfriCanis or Aeroplane for that matter, shouldn't really be an issue from the point of view of someone studying the landrace. Perhaps Ms Gallant foresees some knock-on effect... I don't have the time budget to look into it further though.

Bokaapje (talk) 17:13, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Another interesting question this raises is what aspect of the "documentation" mentioned caused KUSA to remove the references to the breed from the website... more generally, why did they withdraw the standard?

Bokaapje (talk) 17:17, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Dear Cavalryman, on reflection I'd like to pursue our discussion of the breed vs landrace question, and its representation in this article, on two points: First, I believe the statement "These dogs are recognised as a single diverse breed" in "History" should be removed for these reasons: Second, as SMcCandlish pointed out above, several secondary sources support the fact that the name Africanis was coined to describe a landrace of dog. However, as an experienced editor of dog breed articles, how would you recommend structuring content respectively for a variety of animal and for a breed of animal with the same name? Sadly there doesn't seem to be a naming convention that reflects the distinction, as there is in the plant kingdom to distinguish cultivars from varieties. Bokaapje (talk) 19:28, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Having reviewed the Armand article, I believe it was meant to support the previous sentence (regarding ASSA), and should be moved back to that sentence.
 * 2) There is no breed, or developing breed, named Africanis, as per  https://www.kusa.co.za/index.php/documents/minutes-agendas/3023-2019-12-fedco-minutes and http://www.fci.be/en/Nomenclature/ (KUSA is affiliated to the FCI). I hope we can agree that KUSA and the FCI together make a more reliable source than the "Dictionary of 1,000 dog breeds" book (Morris).
 * Hello Bokaapje, I am not adverse to replacing the word “breed” throughout the article, that is still consistent with the sources cited, clearly the last two sentences of the History section used to be one and someone split them. I am unsure what the FCI link above is supposed to show, but no I do not believe the FCI and KUSA combined are more reliable than a very well researched secondary source, I have seen too many errors from the former to accept anything they say beyond their own breed standards.
 * I do not know why you claim the KUSA standard link is broken, it works very well for me, but given the above I think it can be omitted:
 * I remain very sceptical of any attempts to introduce Gallant as a source, the author is too connected to the ASSA and further has previously attempted to promote their works on this page. The link to the ASSA at the bottom of the article is sufficient as the existence of the organisation is confirmed in two secondary sources. Cavalryman (talk) 11:59, 12 January 2021 (UTC).

As already said, can you provide any reliable sources that corroborate your amendments to the page and justify the removal of other content? Cavalryman (talk) 01:22, 10 February 2021 (UTC).

 * Apart from bordering on the paranoid, obfuscation of the topic is not helpful. William Harris (talk) 06:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Request to get this to featured status
(cross-posted to Television WikiProject) I'd like to see this article become featured, but unfortunately I lack the time nor the skills to write a stunning article. However, the linked fan site has a few bits of behind-the-scenes info and repeated guest star Leslie Wolos and main star Meredith Henderson may be available for questions through their personal websites. I would like to invite anyone with a passion for Canadian children's television to get this article in a top-notch state. If it ends up featured, I'll award the people who made major contributions to the article with a personal award. - Mgm|(talk) 21:49, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I know both the creators of this show and would gladly help this article in any way I can. Please inform me what information is needed and so forth to allow this article to flourish and become featured. --Glitchd (talk) 15:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Molly Hardy
The article bills Molly Hardy as a sociopath. Does it have any evidence to support this? I personally have never watched the program so I'd prefer someone with more experience to rectify this inaccuracy.

Anon
 * It's not an inaccuracy. Several characters refer to her as a sociopath within the show. - Mgm|(talk) 09:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

 * The article says Molly Hardy is the counterpart of Professor Moriarty, I say she's Moriarty's descendant, like his great-granddaughter! Which explains why she's so evil and likes crime. I know because I have watched the show lots of times! Maymichael2 (talk) 01:19, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Fox Family Channel
Just found an old Fox Family Worldwide affiliates meeting I recorded off C-band in 98. Seems they were touting this show, under the name of "The Shirley & Bo Detective Agency", as being part of their Saturday mornings on the relaunched Fox Family Channel. Never happened, of course, but interesting to note. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.74.224.249 (talk) 06:19, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
