User talk:Wsiegmund/Sitka Spruce

'''DO NOT EDIT OR POST REPLIES TO THIS PAGE. THIS PAGE IS AN ARCHIVE.'''

This archive page covers a discussion of Sitka Spruce range and upper/lower case common names that occurred in September, 2005.

Post comments to the User talk:Wsiegmund, copying or summarizing the section you are commenting about if necessary.

Sitka Spruce
I added an image and some text to this excellent article that seems to be primarily your work. Last weekend, I photographed the Lake Quinault and the Preston Macy trees on a trip to Olympic National Park and did short hikes through the splendid spruce-redcedar forests near Lake Quinault and the Hoh River Visitors Center. Walter Siegmund 17:28, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Walter - thanks for the note, nice pic! I'll move it higher up and my plantation tree lower down to be beside the cultivation section. Caps (Sitka Spruce, not sitka spruce) is intentional (for uniformity of treatment) so I'll be putting them back too :-) and also trim the headers down to three (that way those silly contents boxes don't appear!) - MPF 20:38, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Range - it gets south of Arcata; although the main range stops around there, there's an isolated outpost in the Fort Bragg area (Griffin & Critchfield, Distribution of forest trees in California) - MPF 20:50, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Range: Van Pelt claims that Cape Medicino is the southern limit; he apparently was unaware of the Fort Bragg colony.
 * Citation. I think Journal reference novolume from Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Generic citations may be a better template than Book reference, but revert if you don't agree. If you keep it, please correct the page numbers.
 * Capitalization: Thanks for bearing with me on this matter. After my edits, I read in the style manual that British and American practices are somewhat different. (I'm assuming that you are British.) Also, spelling differences go beyond colour/color so I need to be aware of that as well.
 * Headers: I am not particularly troubled by the table of contents boxes, but I'm happy to defer to your judgement.
 * Image: Thank you for the kind words about my picture and for giving it more prominence. Walter Siegmund 04:13, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks; the caps difference is not a British vs American difference, it is more what I guess could be called 'field guide style' as most field guides (including many/most American ones e.g. Preston's North American Trees) use caps for species common names. Because field guides are the first contact many people have with plant/animal names, it means that using caps is very common among plant & animal enthusiasts. It's been extensively discussed on the WP:TOL talk pages, though you'll have to search through about 15 pages of archives to find it all (!). When voted on there's been a consistent but small majority for caps, not enough to make it a hard policy for one or the other, but all the conifers have caps (by contrast e.g. fish are almost completely lower case); I reckon it is best to be consistent within a group. On things like colour/color, I try to remember to use US spelling for US species (tho' sometimes forget!), but equally, Sitka Spruce is as much Canadian as US, so either can be argued for in this case. Of the range, I'm really surprised van Pelt didn't know about the Fort Bragg population, as it is shown on every published range map that I've looked at! The Griffin & Critchfield page numbers (in my 1976 2nd edition) are 23-24, and map 39 on p.75; I don't have the 1972 1st ed., so don't know if they're the same pagination or not. - MPF 11:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the history on this matter. I don't want to belabor a point that has been thoroughly discussed, but the standard field guide for this region, Pojar and MacKinnon, uses lower case for trees (except for proper names like Sitka) as does the lesser used Whitney. Van Pelt does the same.

Talk:Crème de menthe

"In Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, Stewie mentions that enjoys "an occasional creme de menthe" when conferring with Brian about drinking. "

Much as I enjoy Family Guy, is this anecdote encyclopedic at all? --Benfergy 20:51, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it comes under the concept of "such and such" in popular culture. `Zozart .chat 02:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Seems to me to be more appropriate for a trivia section in an article on Stewie Griffin than crème de menthe. DavidGC 07:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

"Kurt Vonnegut's novel, Cat's Cradle makes mention of a drink called End of the World Delight. A bartender says he made it for a homeless man on the day the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima." There is no mention of Creme de menthe in this point. I'm removing it, but if someone knows how anything in the point relates to creme de menthe, please replace the pop culture reference and explain it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.14.79.147 (talk) 10:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Sandra Lee
Why is Sandra Lee's recipe for cheap homemade liqueur referenced here?. It was supposedly "made popular" but there is no evidence of its supposed "popularity" presented. This part does not belong; it's just a plug for Lee who will apparenly drink anything containing alcohol, no matter how crappy. Unless someone provides a compelling reason to include this promotional material for crappy booze, I will delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.154.253.56 (talk) 13:28, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

It's also wrong ... the formula references peppermint, but this article says it's Creme de Menthe is actually Mentha requienii – Corsican mint. Peppermint is Mentha × piperita, or on the peppermint page, listed as a cross between (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata).

So the recipie could be listed, but should either be referenced that it is incorrect or a correction made to the mint page and this page (which is I believe unlikely).

I can taste a distinct difference; maybe some people can't?

JGwinner (talk) 00:20, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Creme?
Where does the "creme" come from? The liqueur is nothing like Cream, where creme is redirected to. Literally this should mean "cream of mint" or "cream from mint", but that just does not fit. 85.217.46.149 (talk) 17:21, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I found something from the Crème liqueur article. Crème in this case refers to the consistency. Strange it is not linked in the article. 85.217.46.149 (talk) 05:25, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

It means 'the best' (ie the highest quality of liqueur) like 'creme de la creme' and so the "french for mint cream" in this article is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.198.224 (talk) 07:50, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

History
I would love to know more about the history of the drink- I am assuming like most liqueurs it is Italian in origin. Most other articles talk about how/why they were developed. I'm interested in knowing, if anyone has the knowledge.Coemgenv (talk) 03:43, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

WP:UW future?
Hi, Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as active at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace template issue. As you are or have been active on this project we feel you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter.

You may have a point that insulting revert summaries could incite more vandalism. But frankly, I doubt it. And I also don't see any particular reason to be civil to folks who are obviously trying to vandalize WP. (These examples are not simple mistakes by overeager newbies. They are clearly intentional vandalism.)  Nonetheless, I'll try to watch it in the future. Phiwum 18:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

List of countries by population in 1907
You posted (a long time ago) on this page about it not being sorted by population. Well, I created a table that is hopefully complete and sorted. Before I add in the rankings, I was hoping you could give it a brief look and see if I missed a country or if a country/territory doesn't belong. I don't really know what to do with Indonesia and Malaysia, there's no definite data for those two. Appreciate it. MahangaTalk 01:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

XL-EasyGantt
I have removed the tag you placed on page XL-EasyGantt. It isn't a biography, and appears to contain useful content. I've added an advert tag, so it might improve.--Rossheth | Talk 18:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Renesis, did you asked for the speedy deletion of XL-EasyGantt? What is the reason for doing so? The content was about an application, how do you view it as different from the other applications listed on the List of project management software page?

Renesis, I appreciate your reply. I would further appreciate even more if you could help explain why are [KPlato], [ManageXPS], and [OmniPlan] notable when there are nothing much in the content that suggest that they are and I could not see how different are them from the rest of the gantt tools. Why are they not deleted speedily?

Excel based Gantt charts form a class of its own comparing to other standalone or web based pm tools because it provides the project managers and adhoc pms a good way to create gantt charts and distributing them to other team members and escpecially the senior executives who may not want to install additional applications on their workstations just to view and reponse to the project plans. It is notable because this is not what other scheduling tools can do easily. Most require the plans to be exported and/or require a viewer or need the application iteself to be installed. By using the popular apps like MS Excel, Excel based gantt tools help to bring project management practices of using Gantt Charts to the masses.

It took us a long time to find something really works in Excel untill XL-EasyGantt. I am a user of this tool. Like many other PMs, I find that it is useful because though there are methods available in pieces here and there on the web teaching some ways of manually creating the gantt charts in MS Excel and some commercial tools that do not work as well, this tool somewhat pieces all things together very conveniently. Thus it is quoted in the list as a reference. Of course if other users have other Excel based gantt tools that are notable we would welcome them to list them in the Excel Gantt Tool section too wouldn't we?

Further, if we want to maintain a listing of software in wiki, then perhaps, that article should have a guideline section, stating, what is the selection criteria for certain software to be listed. Why some software are listed and some are not listed and who made the decision. I believe this will avoid others from thinking that there could be some prejudice in the way the list is being maintained.

Thank you. Vikerbandt.

Tagging programs with db-bio
Hi Renesis. WP:CSD is for articles about "a person, group of people, band, club, company, or website". Computer software does not fall under this. Neil  ╦  08:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I came by to say exactly the same thing. Please read the tags before you add them. - BanyanTree 08:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It absolutely does. Are you telling me that a simple bio article that doesn't establish notability needs to go through AFD just because the writer made it about their "software" instead of their company?  I think you need to reread the WP:CSD guidelines.  "Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content" are the exact words, and these software products absolutely are about their companies, and often web content too. -- Renesis (talk) 16:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You're extrapolating - "It says A & B, so clearly it must also mean C". "About" is not "is".  Given how fiercely the exact wording of the current criteria was fought over, if there was consensus on "Unremarkable people, groups, companies, web content and software" then that is what the criterion would say.  Admins have been hauled before ArbCom for using the bit to accomplish what the rules 'should' say.  You need a proposal to modify policy.  As for your argument that you carefully read the article and then nominated it under an invalid criterion, but that there is another valid criterion that the evaluating admin should have deleted under anyway, I really don't have much to say besides that, in the case of old articles where the evaluator has to ask why the article was never challenged before, the CSD evaluation may include if the nominator shows a solid grasp of policy and their judgment relied upon. I won't even ask why you didn't delete the articles yourself. - BanyanTree 19:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

danah boyd
Hi, I noticed that you recently reverted a move of Danah Boyd to "Danah boyd", which would be the most factually-correct title Wikipedia is technically able to provide for that article. While I don't know danah, I have made use of her research and commentary and so it annoys me that the article on her is incorrect. I'd like to propose once again that the article be moved, and so I'm looking for opinions from those who've opposed or reverted such moves in the past.

I've read through previous debates about the article, and the rationale which has consistently been applied is threefold:

 * Some mainstream media sources list her name as "Danah Boyd".
 * WP:NAME indicates that proper names should be capitalized.
 * Users searching for a proper name will be likely to capitalize it, and would be confused if such a search returned no result.

But there are problems with this:

 * First and foremost, "Danah Boyd" is inaccurate; she indicates that she has legally changed her name to "danah boyd", and searching publicly-available records should easily back this up and make it a simple case of verification. There is no online access I could find to perform a search for California name-change records, so no hyperlink to that is available for citing in the article, but the University of California does publicly identify her on her departmental web page as "danah boyd". Additionally, publications from respected academic sources -- papers by danah and papers by others which cite danah -- include the name "danah boyd", not the name "Danah Boyd". For purposes of WP:V, this should trump apparent typographic mistakes in mainstream media sources (in previous debates, it's been mentioned that mainstream news has occasionally identified her as "Dana" -- without the final "h" -- and that Wikipedia has already chosen to ignore such references on the grounds that they are verifiably typos).
 * WP:BLP indicates that the highest priority is to "get the article right", and the current article verifiably does not do so. Worse, it propagates inaccurate information against the known, published beliefs of the subject regarding her own identity; this violates BLP. This also seems to be a case where BLP's guidelines for using the subject of the article as a source apply and provide another strong argument in favor of "danah boyd", because there is no reasonable doubt that she is the one claiming her name is lower-case and this information is not "unduly self-serving".
 * Search issues can easily be mitigated by providing a redirect from "Danah Boyd" to a more correctly-titled article.
 * The explanatory text of WP:IAR indicates that it should be applied when other rules get in the way of improving Wikipedia. Providing factual information about a living person while respecting that person's beliefs is pretty much undeniably an improvement of Wikipedia, so IAR should trump everything, including naming conventions.

If I'm misunderstanding something, please let me know, but as I see it there's no reason why Danah Boyd should not be moved to "Danah boyd", with a redirect for search purposes, and with a note on the final location of the article indicating that Wikipedia's technical limitations prevent the title from being presented in the proper case. And I see several reasons why the title should be presented as closely to the correct lower-case version as possible. Do you know of any other objections I've missed in the above reasoning? Ubernostrum 01:30, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Furthermore, we do have a template to indicate idiosyncratic capitalization, as well as a mention in the Manual of Style. k.d. lang. catherine yronwode. e.e. cummings. I have restored the move. DS 02:00, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Renesis, thank you for being so valiant in your standards of editing. Unfortunately, you have blocked mark58 as a contributor...mark58 is following the former mayor, Brian Olsen's story with much interest. Factual citations are what I'm after. Yet, According to the paragraph alledging Olsen was under iunvestigation in the UHP alluding to something with charges is not correct. The accompanying citation (10) has nothing to do with the statement and is therefore not a source. Just because a citation is listed, you automatically consider it legite?

TriPod the band
Sure, I'm always happy to explain an admin decision. First of all, there are third party references listed in the references section of the article (the two books). Second, according to criterion 4 of WP:BAND, a band is notable if it has gone on an international concert tour, which the article says Tripod has. Third, it's arguable that Moonjune Records (the band's label) meets criterion 5 of WP:BAND. I hope this addresses your concerns. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Tracker (business software)
I noticed that you substantially edited the Tracker (business software) page. This article was already reviewed by admins and approved for inclusion in Wikipedia. It did not contain any promotional language or advertorial claims. The section you removed including a screenshot from each software package, and a list of the included modules. I disagree that this section constituted blatant advertising, as the screenshots illustrated the different user interfaces, and the list of modules (not features) demonstrated the differences between the packages.

However, I can understand how the article may have appeared like a product sheet. In order to minimize controversy, I have restored the screenshots, and abbreviated the package description. If you still disagree with the content, then lets have a conversation on the article's discussion page. You also removed links to the article from List of project management software. Again, I can understand how this may have appeared to be advertising. However, the three products described in Tracker (business software) are very different. TrackerSuite.Net is a Web based application, and should be listed as such. Tracker Suite and TrackerOffice are both desktop applications, but TrackerOffice does not include functions for issue tracking or resource management. Do you have a suggestion for how else these different products might be listed in that article? Regards, KarsKormak (talk) 17:32, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply. I'd like to clarify my point, I disagree that a component list of a software package constitutes advertising for that software, any more than a recipe for a cake constitutes advertising for that cake. If it were a list of product features, that would be a different animal entirely. However, we seem to have reached an accord with the current state of the page, and I am satisfied with it. As for the List of project management software, would you object to my lumping Tracker Suite and TrackerOffice as a single link entry in Desktop Applications, and TrackerSuite.Net on its own under Web based Applications? Regards, KarsKormak (talk) 18:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Then there appears to be some confusion here. You state that you would not object to a list of components, which is what you removed from the page. The Tracker packages are modular application suites.  That is, the client organization could deploy the entire suite of modules, or simply the modules for Time Reporting, Project Management and Personnel Management. The lists you removed were not the features of single application, but the applications within each Tracker product, in the same way Microsoft Office includes Word, Excel, Outlook and Powerpoint applications (which are listed in the Microsoft Office article).

 * In regards to our listing on List of project management software, your analogy to Microsoft Project / Microsoft Project Server is inaccurate. Microsoft Project Server is not a project management application in itself, it serves to extend Microsoft Project (which is listed on the LoPMS page, appropriately) by providing report storage and Internet capabilities. It does not provide actual project management tools and functions (task management, scheduling, WBS). Again, I understand and agree that multiple links to the same page should be avoided, and if the List of project management software page were structured differently (Perhaps as a grid?) this wouldn't be an issue. However, as it categorizes products by platfrom (proprietary desktop, proprietary Web based), there doesn't seem to be another way to accurately place the links.

Oops
Oops, sorry about that. We've been having a lot of page move vandalism lately and the title of the page you last moved looked like vandalism, didn't realize until after I hit the button. Should be all fixed up now. Mr.Z-man 06:11, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Do not assume ownership? What...?
I got this message from you about the Revenge of the Fallen article. I never claimed ownership of the article. I didn't even start it. If it was about me reverting your changes, then you should know your edits WILL be scrutinized. From time to time you may get changes reverted. Note that reverts are also scrutinized by other users. It's the way Wikipedia works. If you don't like that, maybe it is you the one that should consider not making the changes in the first place. The reason for my edit was specified in the edit summary and no other user saw any problem with it. Uker (talk) 10:44, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Well, I took a look again at your edit, which can be seen here and yes, you removed that 'weasel' sentence, which I could agree with, but that was among a bunch of other edits which were not justified, neither in the summary, nor the discussion page. Guidelines suggest that if you're making a lot of changes, each one for different reasons, you make them in separate edits. Had they been separate edits I sure wouldn't have reverted them all. Uker (talk) 17:43, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Whoa. That's strange. On an rhetoric note, I'm thinking what would have happened hadn't I cited the link to the diff. I guess things wouldn't have worked out that well. Anyway, glad we could work this out. Cheers! Uker (talk) 20:02, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Renesis,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.9.34.167 (talk) 20:51, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Nutshell image
Hello Renesis. As you're probably aware, your Walnut.png image has been used to illustrate all the policy pages on Wikipedia and Commons due to its inclusion in Nutshell. Unfortunately, this use violates the terms of the license you have chosen for the image, as there is no attribution or link provided to the image description page. I was wondering if you would consider re-licensing the image under Cc-zero so that we could continue using the image in the template. Otherwise, we may need to change it to a different image. Sorry to bug you with this red tape, but we need to make sure that we're actually following our licenses if we expect our re-users to do the same. Cheers. Kaldari (talk) 20:51, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it looks like it does link on English Wikipedia, but not on Commons. I can add the linking behavior to the template on Commons, or you could switch the license on the file to Cc-zero (instead of Cc-by-sa), which would make the link unnecessary. Just let me know which you would prefer. Kaldari (talk) 22:51, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:29, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Talk:Mother Hulda

Origins
The origins I wrote in this article are actually a synthesis of all info I could find on Mother Hulda, but as you can see it's nigh on impossible to be certain of the exact source of the character. Don't blame me if I got it wrong. It was hard enough as it is. Feel free to edit.

I'll complete the plot synopsis later on but I'm not terribly good at writing so anyone else is welcome to try his hand on it. --Steerpike 20:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Relationship with Holda article
I've been expanding the Holda article somewhat (still more to go), and I'm wondering what relationship it should have to this article? Potentially some or all of the info here could be merged with the other article. Is this article intending to be about Holda/Hulda herself, or about the fairy-tale? Fuzzypeg 13:34, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't have a source at the moment (there are, but I currently don't have access to any), but there is an electronica-act called Frau Holle (Nintendo breakbeat, acid, IDM) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.159.97.3 (talk) 13:59, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Reincarnation
The story is not so much a metaphor for the afterlife as it is for reïncarnation. The girls do not literally die but move on to the next life by passing through the land of Mother Hulda. They do not stay there. Mother Hulda's land is not heaven. So yes it bears resemblance to other religions (good deeds are rewarded, bad ones punished) but moreso with Buddhism. I edited several sections out because it sounds as if the writer is discussing the theme with him/herself. We should do that on the talkpage. --Steerpike 23:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

 * There is absolutely no evidence that the story has anything to do with reincarnation at all. Metaphor or otherwise.  Therefore it has no more connection with Buddhism than with anything else.  Therefore the projection of a Buddhist allegory is non-neutral POV, and I've deleted it entirely.    If anyone has specific people who have given it religious interpretations -- besides yourself -- that might be relevant, but claims that it is Buddhist are wildly unsuitable. Goldfritha 23:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * to expand -- it's obviously much closer to the Christian notion of afterlife than the Buddhist notion of karma because it is one-shot. Once the daughter had failed, she was permanently covered with pitch; she did not get another chance at service to do better.  This is clearly much closer to the notion that it is appointed to men to die once, and then comes judgment, that to the endless cycle of rebirth.  Goldfritha 00:03, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I disagree, but it depends how look at it. The key element here is the fact that the girls "return" after their stay with Mother Hulda. Shouldn't Mother Hulda be the end of the road in a Christian system? The "afterlife" in this story is merely a passageway back to earth. The girls do not stay there. Shouldn't the bad girl burn in hell once she drowns in the well? There clearly is a chance at redemption, but the bad girl fails and must live with it "in her next life". There is room for change, because she will eventually die again. No?

Ok I suppose this is all susceptible to debate, but let me make clear that I did not write the analysis myself (as in: original research). As far as I remember I copied it from a Dutch website. I'll try and look it up to have it referenced. But in the mean time it is probably best to leave it out as you say. --Steerpike 00:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Use of the word "Germanic" - keep linguistic
Please be sensitive to the use of the word "Germanic" in this article. There is reference to a "Germanic people" with a wide and non-specific reference to where they might live. It is hinted that they may include people like the Scandinavians, for example. There are people who live in Germany who are Germans. And there is a Germanic language family. Search google for "define:germanic" and you'll see that "teutonic" is not far behind.

Stories of Mother Hulda, and her many aspects were not told only in German. Therefore, the term "Germanic people" smacks of Nazi propaganda when applied to this folklore. Some authors from the 1930's to the 1950's use that term in that imprecise way, and it is outdated and hurtful to some people.

People who lived under threat of German attack during and before both world wars (mostly in the Eastern Europe area) will tell you how imprecise it is to be classified as "Germanic people." It is a term misused to acculturate a part of Europe by making wide declarations about the ownership of land and people.

This story and others about Mother Hulda were told in many languages, among them Russian, Hungarian, Swedish, Slavonic, Czech, Romanian, etc... Perhaps a term we can compromise on would be "Germanic speaking people" but of course, that would limit the discussion to a subset of those people who knew and propogated the Mother Hulda story.

Keep in mind that fairy tales are the original viral phenomenon. People didn't tell their kids stories because they were "authentically German" or "authentically whatever" they did it because they liked the story or they remembered it. It was more a matter or memory or availability or preference. And stories traveled via travellers with good memories - having contact with locals with good memories. That's what makes the Grimm's achievement so good. They actually tried to trace this stuff. It's like trying to trace the origin of an email chain letter, but with half the servers missing.

My thanks to you for your efforts, I just wanted you to be aware of a semantic issue that is often missed and turns some people off. QuickieWiki 19:42, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Yemane Ghebremichael (born January 21, 1949 – November 5, 1997), known by his stage as Yemane Barya, was a prominent Eritrean songwriter, composer and singer. He became one of the most renowned Eritrean artists.

Biography
Yemane's songwriting strove to reflect what he perceived to be Eritrean experience during the Eritrean War of Independence. His songs were dotted with stories of love, journey, hope, migration, and liberation. In 1975, he was jailed for the perceived political interpretation of one of his songs.

A few years after the declaration of the independence of Eritrea, Yemane moved to Asmara and continued to release albums that reflected the new era of hope and national prosperity, with a mixture of Eritrean melodies. He also sang about the people involved in the movement towards Eritrean independence and the sacrifices of that movement. Yemane's songs are distinct in the way that they feature a pattern with a recurring melancholic piece of melody.

Yemane was also known as the 'Eritrean caretaker'. He died on November 5,1997 due to a sudden illness.

Chris Walker (motorcyclist)

Chris Walker (born 25 March 1972 in Nottingham) is a British motorcycle road racer and former scrambler with the nickname The Stalker. He is a four-time runner-up in the British Superbike Championship, and a former race winner in the Superbike World Championship. For the 2015 season Walker signed for Tommy Hill's Be Wiser Kawasaki Team aboard a Kawasaki ZX-10R in the British Superbike Championship, following his 2014 season with Lloyds British GBmoto squad. Team manager Hill left in August, 2015, and the team folded in September, leaving Walker without a ride for the final two race meetings of the season.

In early 2016, Walker announced he would no longer participate in superbikes, instead switching to the British Sidecar Championship, initially with a two-year contract. With no previous experience, Walker stated he was excited by the future opportunities.

Like Formula One legend Ayrton Senna, Walker developed Bell's Palsy in 2002 which paralysed part of his face. He lists his determination as his best feature, and his love of puddings as his worst. He usually races #9. He returned to the grid in 2021 taking on the Ducati TriOptions Cup.

Early years and British Superbike Championship 1995–2000
Walker only started road racing in 1995 after many years as an accomplished motocross rider, but by the end of that year and into 1996 he rose through the ranks with ease and had ridden in Grands Prix and scored points.

In 1997 he challenged for the prestigious British Superbike championship with Yamaha, finishing as runner-up to experienced team-mate Niall Mackenzie. He switched to Kawasaki for 1998, winning in the season's first race, before it became clear that the Yamahas of Mackenzie and Steve Hislop were the bikes to beat. Injury to Hislop allowed Walker to take 2nd in the series again, a feat he repeated behind Troy Bayliss’ Ducati in 1999.

He came agonisingly close to the 2000 title, when an engine failure in his Suzuki took him out of a winning position with just three laps remaining of the final race at Donington Park, leaving Walker in tears and gifting the title to GSE Ducati’s Neil Hodgson. He did however take a second place at Brands Hatch in the World Superbike round that year, the best of his many wild card entries in the UK rounds (and occasionally Assen in the Netherlands) over the years.

500 cc World Championship 2001 and World Superbikes 2002–2006
Walker made an attempt at the 500 cc World Championship in 2001. He predicted that "For me it's going to be the toughest year ever", which proved accurate, as the factory Shell-sponsored Honda was hard to ride and forced Walker to override, resulting in many huge crashes. In, he moved to the Superbike World Championship, initially with the Fuchs Kawasaki team.

Walker placed 6th in the championship for GSE Ducati in, and 11th for Carl Fogarty's Foggy Petronas team in , respectively teamed with James Toseland and Troy Corser (both of whom won the title the next season, Toseland riding the Fila Ducati to success and Corser the Alstare Suzuki in ).

In, he joined the PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse team, proving to be the most consistent Kawasaki rider in terms of pace and results, securing one podium finish (3rd place, round 6 at Valencia) and finishing 7th place overall.

saw Walker teamed up with Frenchman Régis Laconi and Spain's Fonsi Nieto on a Kawasaki Europe backed ZX-10R for PSG. Walker secured his maiden Superbike World Championship race win on 3 September 2006 in Race 1 at Assen, Netherlands in his 131st race. Starting the race in 13th position, and dropping to 26th position at the first corner following an excursion onto the grass, Walker braved the torrential rain and a high rate of attrition to win in a time of 44 minutes, 23.501 seconds. He came 9th overall in the championship, 19 points ahead of Nieto as the highest Kawasaki.

Despite his finishing position, Walker was subsequently dropped by PSG for the season, while Kawasaki still supported PSG as an official factory team.

Return to the British Superbike Championship 2007
Walker initially struggled on the Rizla Suzuki in the British Superbike championship, occasionally outpaced by rookie team-mate Cal Crutchlow. When Neil Hodgson tested the bike some speculated that Walker's ride was under threat. The team insisted it wasn't, and at Oulton Park he took third in race one, in tricky conditions which saw many top riders (such as Jonathan Rea, Gregorio Lavilla and Tom Sykes) crash out. This was only his second podium of the season. His points tally for the year was 225, comparing favourably to his team-mate's 152.

World Supersport 2008
He was not retained for 2008, but raced in the Supersport World Championship for the very first time in and, for the GIL Kawasaki team alongside teammate Katsuaki Fujiwara. However, the bike was not competitive, and he switched to the Paul Bird VK Vent-Axia team in World Superbikes for the final five rounds of the season. He opened with minor points at Brands Hatch, but crashed twice at Donington Park.

British Superbike Championship 2009–2013
For 2009 he was optimistic of a top British Superbike Championship ride, as all the established good riders are gone. He ultimately joined the Henderson Yamaha team, but struggled for much of the year. He was competitive in race 1 at Mallory Park until chaos and controversy struck. He was running second when Josh Brookes lost control of his bike and catapulted race leader Simon Andrews, dropping oil from Brookes' Honda. Walker was one of five other riders who either crashed or downed their bikes to avoid crashing. The red flag was shown, but these seven riders were excluded from the results, due to an unexpected application of the rules. Brookes received a two-race ban for his mistake.

For 2010 Walker was released by the Motorpoint Henderson Yamaha. It looked like he would not be racing in 2010, but he arranged a deal with on a privately run Suzuki tuned by former BSB rider Ray Stringer just a week before the opening round. After 2 races Walker was offered a ride in the MSS Kawasaki team when Simon Andrews was injured in a crash while guesting in World Superbikes. He returned to the Suzuki once Andrews was fit again, but raced for SMT Honda at Snetterton, scoring the team's best 2010 results of two sevenths and an eleventh in the process

During 2011 and 2012 Walker rode for Pr1mo Bournemouth Kawasaki, and for 2013 he rode with Quattro Plant Kawasaki.

British Superbike Championship 2014 and 2015
After a season with Lloyds British GBmoto on a Kawasaki ZX-10R, for 2015 Walker changed to Be Wiser Kawasaki Team, again riding a ZX-10R, for a team owned by Alan Greig, having Be Wiser Insurance as main sponsor and part-sponsored by Dickies industrial clothing.

As the oldest rider competing in British Superbikes, Walker's extensive experience with superbike machines and Kawasaki makes him ideal as lead-rider to develop the new squad, partnered by Danny Buchan, fresh from his 2014 success as Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Champion.

Former BSB rider and 2012 Champion Tommy Hill was team-manager, making his return to racing after three years' absence developing his graphic design business. Hill left in August, 2015, and the team folded in September, leaving Walker without a ride for the final two race meetings of the season.

British Sidecar Championship 2016
Walker competed in the 2016 British Sidecar Championship with 2012 World Sidecar Champion passenger Ashley Hawes in the chair. With over 6 podium finishes already this year and a 100% race finish record, Chris and Ashley lie a comfortable 4th in the championship with only 4 races remaining.

British Superbike Championship 2017
According to an article by Oli Rushby on Motorcycle News.com, Chris Walker sustained injuries during the "eight round of the 2017 MCE British Superbike Championship at Cadwell Park after a nasty crash in Friday’s Sidecar session." Rushby went on to report that "[t]he multiple BSB runner-up crashed his Kawasaki-powered Santander Salt outfit at Mansfield and was taken to hospital with suspected back injuries", before being "confirmed he sustained a break to his T4 vertebrae... as well as a broken nose."

2019
Walker is planning on participating in the Hyundai Construction British Sidecar Championship with TAG Racing with the support of team-mate Tom Christie.

Personal life
Chris' father John was the proprietor of John Walker Superbikes, a retail motorcycle dealership in Langley Mill, Nottingham, which also owned Fox's Kawasaki in Mapperley, Nottingham, and Wraggs Motorcycles in Mansfield.

Chris Walker lives in Ollerton, Nottinghamshire, and also runs a Ducati & Kawasaki dealership Chris Walker Motorcycles in Grantham www.chriswalkermotorcycles.com

Cratesipolis

Cratesipolis (Kρατησίπoλις meaning "conqueror of the city") was the ruler of Sicyon and Corinth in 314-308 BC. She was the wife of Alexander (son of Polyperchon) and was highly distinguished for her beauty, talents, and energy. Her name may have been a nickname earned through her conquest of Sicyon.

In 314 BC when her husband was assassinated at Sicyon, she assumed command of his forces, with whom her kindness had made her extremely popular. When the Sicyonians, hoping for an easy conquest over a woman, attacked the garrison to attempt to establishing an independent government, she quelled the sedition and crucified thirty of the rebels. Her victory held the town firmly in subjection under Cassander.

However in 308 BC she was induced by Ptolemy, the ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt, to surrender Corinth and Sicyon. When Ptolemy took control of Corinth and Sicyon, Cassander's only remaining city in Greece was Athens. Cratesipolis was at Corinth at the time and she knew that her troops would never consent to the surrender, so she sent some of Ptolemy's forces into the town instead, pretending that they were a reinforcement that she ordered from Sicyon. She then withdrew with her troops to Patras in Achaea, where she was living.

In 307 BC she had met with Demetrius Poliorcetes with whom she had a mutual admiration. Prior to this casual meeting, Demetrius pitched a tent near the city of Patras so that Cratesipolis could arrive unseen. Anti-Antigonid forces, however, were aware of Demetrius’ presence in the area and attacked, forcing Demetrius to flee the area. This the last mention of Cratesipolis in any source.

The table added by seems to be original research as it attempts to summarize Weber's theories in very specific manner. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 01:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought it is a fairly straightforward summary of his ideas. If it is new research contradictory to common academic sources, I'll remove it. Is it?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 01:43, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Cult of personality is not equal to charismatic authority
State sponsored and state encouraged or initiated personality cults are not a form of charismatic authority. For example. Stalin's cult of personality was state sponsered but his autority was not charismatic, but mainly legal. Spontaneous personality cults are probably a different matter. Andries (talk) 09:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Maybe there is something in the article that is NOT NPOV:

 * Not likely. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 14:18, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

The classification of authority in the context of history
It is written in the article:
 * ''Weber also notes that legal domination is the most advanced, and that societies evolve from having mostly traditional and charismatic authorities to mostly rational and legal ones, because the instability of charismatic authority inevitably forces it to "routinize" into a more structured form of authority. (...) A classic example of these three types may be found in religion:
 * ''priests (traditional),
 * ''Jesus (charismatic), and the
 * Roman Catholic Church (legal-rational). (...)
 * Roman Catholic Church (legal-rational). (...)

I don't agree with the third example. I would rather put United Nations and/or United Nations Security Council. The "legality" and/or "rationality" of the Roman Catholic Church has been put into deep discussion and analysis by the italian mathematician Piergiorgio Odifreddi's essay "Why we cannot be Christians (much less catholics)" ISBN 978-88-304-2427-2. Let's NOT forget that "religion" is the first authority in this Max Webers tripartite classification. The lowest one in importance. So this "legal-rationality" is internal to a charismatic domination and not to a legal domination. Sorry! Maurice Carbonaro (talk) 21:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Weird!
Contemplating the weirdness of the article, I imagine that it actually reflects Weber's thinking correctly. I cannot see any "hierarchy" between the three different forms of authority, so there must be some underlying notion of what is "primitive" vs. "civilized", which needs to be related in the intro. There is some underlying theory of incremental civilization or some such, that is missing in this text... Or? Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 14:23, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Examples
This article lacks real-life examples of the three ideal types of authorities. Though it may be subjective, I think it would be valuable addition to the article and a good guidance to readers in order to facilitate their comprehension of the concepts.

Thomas Parnell (scientist)

Thomas Parnell (5 July 1881 – 1 September 1948) was the first Professor of Physics at the University of Queensland. He started the famous pitch drop experiment there.

Education
Thomas Parnell was born in West Haddon, Northamptonshire, England and died in Indooroopilly in Brisbane, Australia. He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, after winning a scholarship and received his B.A. in 1903. He received his M.A. from Cambridge in 1908.

Career
Parnell took up a tutoring position at Trinity College, at the University of Melbourne, between 1904 and 1911, with the hope that it would enable him to have time to pursue research, and then apply for a Fellowship position at the Cambridge. However his teaching duties in physics, mathematics and chemistry were so numerous, that he never had the time to dedicate to research. He elected to move to Brisbane with friend and future wife, Hermiene Ulrich, also a lecturer at the newly established University of Queensland. He lectured in physics at the University of Queensland between 1911 and 1918, and was a professor between 1919 and 1948.

He enlisted in World War I as a private in the Australian Imperial Force in 1917, after having been in the Volunteers in England. He served as a gunner, often under the orders of his former students. He refunded his excess pay during the War, back to the University, to assist ex-servicemen planning on undertaking study. His wife, Hermiene returned to lecturing work during World War I, to assist the University.

Parnell would begin his research into a high-precision method of measuring inductance in 1917. During 1922, he took part in an expedition to Goondiwindi to witness a total solar eclipse, and test Einstein's theory of relativity in this setting. In 1927 Parnell initiated an intriguing experiment to allow long-term observation of the behaviour of material known to have an extremely high coefficient of viscosity. Thus began his now famous pitch drop experiment, which, against all the odds, has been carefully preserved by UQ Physics to this day.

Under his leadership the physics department developed a useful service role, both in providing a scientific base for the Queensland hospital system's X-ray and radium services, and establishing a radon laboratory. During World War II, Parnell organised a radio sounding station for the Radio Research Board, which assisted with short wave radio communications.

Parnell was never able to return to full-time research, burdened by his numerous roles at the University. He was Chairman (1919–23) and Dean (1928–31 and 1935) of the Faculty of Science, a member (1932–35, 1938–44) of the Senate, and President (1938–44) of the Professorial Board. He was involved in the protracted negotiations that led to the creation (1933) of a massage school and the introduction (1937) of a diploma in physiotherapy. In 1935 he was a member of the planning committee for the faculty of medicine, and of a delegation to the Queensland Government that resulted in the establishment of a separate faculty of dentistry.

While president of the Professorial board, Parnell represented the university on the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee. He was president of the Royal Society of Queensland (1928–29). In World War II he was a member of the Radio Research Board, the Queensland Cancer Trust, and the board of visitors of the Commonwealth Solar Observatory, Mount Stromlo, Australian Capital Territory.

Survived by his wife and son, Parnell died of hypertensive cardiorenal failure on 1 September 1948 at Indooroopilly, Australia, and was cremated.

Legacy
A major building fronting the Great Court bears his name - the Parnell building. The physics department library which he had helped to establish was named the Parnell Memorial Library in 1948 and was eventually absorbed by the Dorothy Hill Engineering and Sciences Library at UQ in 1997.

In October 2005 he was posthumously awarded the Ig Nobel prize for Physics for the pitch drop experiment, along with the experiment's then custodian, John Mainstone.

He was survived by his wife and son, Thomas Meredith Parnell who would later become Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Queensland.

Shigaku zasshi

Shigaku zasshi (史学雑誌, literally, Journal of Historical Science) is the oldest academic journal of history in Japan. It was established in 1889 as the official publication of the Historical Society of Japan (shigakkai) in Tokyo. It is published in Japanese with English abstracts.

History of Shigaku zasshi and the Historical Society
The Historical Society of Japan was founded on November 1, 1889, and began publishing a historical journal entitled Shigakkai zasshi (Journal of the Historical Society) on December 15 of that same year. In 1892 the name of the journal was changed to Shigaku zasshi. Two professors of history at Tokyo Imperial University, Shigeno Yasutsugu and Ludwig Rieß were instrumental in founding the society and beginning publication of the journal. Ludwig Rieß consciously modeled the journal on contemporary European historical journals such as the Historische Zeitschrift in Germany, the Revue Historique in France, and the English Historical Review in England.

Shigeno Yasutsugu was also the only president of the Historical Society of Japan. He was president of the society from its founding in 1889 until his death in 1910. No successor has ever been appointed.

Contents
The journal consists of original research articles, reviews, and reports on academic trends in various fields. Although articles on Japanese and East Asian history are particularly well represented within the pages of this journal, articles on European and American history also have a visible presence. Articles devoted to topics outside of East Asia, Europe, and the US are relatively uncommon.

May issue
The annual May issue of Shigaku zasshi is of particular interest to historians trying to keep up with recent historiographic developments in Japan. The May issue is devoted to review articles summing up recent developments in the academic field of history within Japan. A general assessment of the work of the previous year in the field of history is summed up in the recurring section "Kaiko to tenbō" (“review and outlook”), and articles devoted to more specialized areas follow.

Articles in the May issue are divided by (1) region (2) period and (3) thematic subject (such as "intellectual history" or "economic history"). While the sections for region and period are relatively stable, the sections for thematic subject often change from year to year.

As an example of the geographic and chronological distribution of articles, the 2005 May issue contained 1 article on historiographic theory, 5 articles on Japan (divided by period), 9 articles on China (thinly divided by period), 1 article on Korea, 1 article on Central Asia, 1 article on Southeast Asia, 1 article on South Asia, 1 article on West Asia/North Africa, 1 article on Africa, 17 articles on Europe (divided by both period and country), and 2 articles on America (divided into North America and Latin America).

May issues of Shigaku zasshi from 1949–1985 are also collected in the volume, Nihon rekishi gakkai no kaiko to tenbō edited by the Historical Society of Japan and published in 1987 by Yamakawa Shuppansha.

Cooksville, Mississauga

Cooksville is a neighbourhood in Mississauga in the Greater Toronto Area region of Ontario, Canada. It is centred around the intersection of Dundas Street and Hurontario Street near the eponymous Cooksville Creek.

History
Cooksville was originally located in Toronto Township, and was an important stagecoach stop along the Dundas highway, which was carved out of the wilderness after a survey by Asa Danforth Jr. in 1798.

The settlement was originally named Harrisville in honour of Daniel Harris, Cooksville's first settler, who immigrated from the United States in 1807. Later in 1836, the settlement was renamed to the present name Cooksville after Jacob Cook.

The entrepreneur, Jacob Cook, won the contract to deliver mail from York to Niagara, operated several stage coach lines, was the local magistrate and built the Cooksville House, the first licensed tavern in the area at the northwest corner of Dundas and Hurontario streets in 1829. A heritage Mississauga sign on Hurontario Street north of the intersection claims it was the first Canadian location of winemaking in 1836.

Cooksville grew in size and influence until the Great Fire of 1852 razed much of it. That year, the McClelland-Copeland General store opened and is now the areas longest surviving building. A severe tornado hit the area on June 24, 1923, destroying mostly rural farmhouses around the town. On the west side of the town there was a 182 acre brickyard that sprawled south of the CP rail line from 1912 until its closure in 1995, employing many Cooksville residents over that period. The Italian Heavyweight champion boxer, Primo Carnera had worked at the yard for a short period during his youth. Today, the redeveloped site is a medium density residential and retail zone along Shoreline Dr., just south of the infamous 1979 Mississauga train derailment site at the CP crossing (Mavis Road).

Cooksville was the residence of HIH Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia while in exile in Canada.

Although never incorporated and not being the city's largest historic community, its central crossroads location meant much of the early suburban growth in Mississauga (Toronto Township before 1967) occurred in the area around Cooksville. For much of that time it had the highest concentration of high-rise condominium and rental buildings in Mississauga, and was originally proposed to be the location of Mississauga's city centre. However, lobbying by prominent developer Bruce McLaughlin to build a new municipal office after a fire in 1969 badly damaged the original township hall and the opening of Square One Shopping Centre to the north, resulted in the city centre overtaking it in density.

Transportation
Cooksville is a main transportation hub in Mississauga, with GO Transit rail, and bus service; and express city buses to Toronto's Union Station. Cooksville GO Station is just north of the intersection of Dundas and Hurontario Streets.

Dundas Street, a four-lane street; and Hurontario Street, a six-lane street, are the main thoroughfares in Cooksville, and intersect at the heart of the neighbourhood. This intersection was the junction of former provincial Highway 5 and Highway 10, and is still often referred to by Mississaugans as "Five and Ten" in reference to those street's previous provincial highway numbers; Highway 5 for Dundas and Highway 10 for Hurontario.

Demographics

 * According to the Canada 2016 Census

There is a plethora of South Asian and Arab textile/clothing shops, restaurants, and grocery stores in the area. There is also a significant number of Afro-Caribbean take-out restaurants and barber shops; the area is known to cater towards Mississauga's black community because of the large number of barber shops in close proximity to one another. Nevertheless, the area is multicultural and most cultures are represented in the area.

The census tracts for the area, include three separate neighbourhood designations by the City of Mississauga: Cooksville NHD (Neighbourhood), DT Cooksville (Downtown) and DT Hospital (site of the large Mississauga Hospital). The area in the southwest part of Cooksville, closer to the Credit River, is a more exclusive enclave of mostly large, detached homes on larger, treed lots; is referred to as Gordon Woods. Fairview is sometimes considered to be part of Cooksville, but is actually the neighbourhood located north of the CP rail line/Cooksville GO Station.
