Ayr (Scottish Parliament constituency)

Ayr (Gaelic: Inbhir Àir) is a burgh constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) covering the town of Ayr in the council area of South Ayrshire. It elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) via the plurality (first past the post) electoral system. It is also one of nine constituencies in the South Scotland electoral region which elects seven additional members to the Scottish Parliament via a proportional electoral system known as the Additional Members System (abbreviated AMS) which allows for greater accuracy in representation for the region as a whole.

The seat has been held by Siobhian Brown of the Scottish National Party since the 2021 Scottish Parliament election.

Electoral region
The other eight constituencies of the South Scotland region are: Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley; Clydesdale; Dumfriesshire; East Lothian; Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire; Galloway and West Dumfries; Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley and Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale. The region covers the Dumfries and Galloway, East Ayrshire, Scottish Borders and South Ayrshire council areas in full and elements of the East Lothian, Midlothian and South Lanarkshire council areas.

1999–2011
The Ayr constituency was created at the same time as the Scottish Parliament, in 1999, following the same boundaries as the existing Ayr constituency at Westminster. In 2005 however most UK Parliamentary constituencies in Scotland were replaced with new constituencies, with the Ayr constituency being abolished and replaced by the Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock and Central Ayrshire constituencies. This had no impact on the boundaries of the Ayr constituency in the Scottish Parliament which used the old Westminster boundaries during the 2007 election to the Scottish Parliament.

The constituency covered the 1995 South Ayrshire electoral wards of:
 * Dundonald; East Kyle; Fort; Lochside and Craigie; Heathfield; Kingscase; Newton; Seafield; St Cuthbert's; St Nicholas; Troon Central; Troon East; Troon West; Wallacetown and Whitletts, covering Dundonald, Loans, Monkton, Prestwick, Symington, Tarbolton, Troon and the north and west of Ayr.

The remaining section of South Ayrshire was covered by the Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley constituency.

2011–present
Following the First Periodic Review of Scottish Parliament Boundaries in time for the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, the Boundary Commission for Scotland recommended alterations to the existing Ayr constituency which were then implemented and used at the 2011, 2016 and 2021 Scottish Parliamentary elections. These boundaries remain in place today and will be used at the next election to the Scottish Parliament.

The Ayr constituency covers the towns of Ayr, Prestwick and Troon, and takes in the electoral wards of:

 * Ayr East
 * Ayr North
 * Ayr West
 * Prestwick
 * Troon

All of these are wards of South Ayrshire Council. The remaining wards in South Ayrshire form part of the Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley.

Constituency profile
Ayr is a burgh constituency of the Scottish Parliament covering the adjoining coastal towns of Ayr, Prestwick and Troon in north-west South Ayrshire. The constituency is a popular coastal resort on Scotland's west coast. The town of Ayr serves as the administrative centre of the South Ayrshire Council area and is the most populated section of the constituency. The town annually hosts the Scottish Grand National horse-racing steeplechase and the Scottish Airshow. Towards the south of the town is Robert Burns Cottage in the suburb of Alloway. In Prestwick and Troon, the exclusive Royal Troon and Prestwick Golf Clubs regularly host the British Open Championship. The seat also takes in Glasgow Prestwick International Airport.

The constituency covers a diverse and muddled mix of wealthy middle class suburbs and deprived council estates, divided between suburban housing based around parts of Prestwick, Troon and the south-west of Ayr and social housing based around the industrial north of Ayr and parts of south-east Ayr including the council estates of Kincaidston, Forehill and South Belmont.

Voting patterns
Historically the Ayr seat has held a higher level of support for the Conservative Party in comparison to elsewhere in Scotland and the United Kingdom as a whole. The equivalent Westminster constituency of Ayr was gained by the Conservative Party at its creation in 1950. In subsequent elections the seat went on to return Conservative MP's to Parliament until the 1997 UK general election, when the boundaries of the constituency were altered in a move involving the transfer of a number of Conservative-voting suburbs towards the south of Ayr to the adjoining Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley constituency, which subsequently altered the demographics of the Ayr constituency - benefiting the Labour Party. In spite of this, at the 1997 election, the Ayr seat returned one of the smallest pro-Labour swings in Great Britain at just over 5%. Prior to this the Ayr Burghs constituency (which incorporated a number of towns in coastal Ayrshire including Irvine, Troon, Prestwick, Ayr, Saltcoats and Ardrossan) continuously returned Conservative MP's to Parliament from 1906 until its abolishment in 1950, making Ayr the longest seat to be held continuously by the Conservatives in Scotland (continuously having a Conservative MP at Westminster for 91 years).

Until the late 2000s the Labour Party held a significant level of support across the Ayr constituency and were able to win the constituency by 25 votes at the 1999 Scottish Parliamentary election as a consequence of a high turnout and the constituency's boundaries, which excluded various Conservative-voting suburbs in southern Ayr (including Alloway, Doonfoot, Masonhill, Holmston and Castlehill). Labour's decline in support in the Scottish Parliament coupled with a lower turnout allowed for the Conservatives to secure the constituency comfortably at the 2000 Ayr by-election following the resignation of Ayr's first MSP, Ian Welsh. The by-election was the first by-election of the Scottish Parliament, making Ayr the first Scottish Conservative constituency seat in the Scottish Parliament (who won no constituency seats at the 1999 Scottish Parliament election). The Conservatives went on to hold the constituency at the 2003 and 2007 Scottish Parliament elections, despite marginally missing out in the Westminster seat of Ayr to the Labour Party at the 2001 UK general election.

In 2011, the constituency boundaries were altered, with the electoral ward of Kyle being transferred to the Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley constituency. At the same time the remaining portion of the town of Ayr covered by the Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley constituency was transferred over to the Ayr constituency. The Ayr constituency went on to return Conservative MSP John Scott to Parliament with a reduced majority at the 2011 and 2016 Scottish Parliament elections. At the 2017 UK general election, Conservative candidate Bill Grant gained the overlapping Westminster constituency of Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock from the SNP with a majority of 2,774 votes (6.0%), but the SNP regained it at the 2019 UK general election with a majority of over 2,000 votes. In 2021, the SNP's Siobhian Brown gained the Ayr constituency from Scott with a narrow majority of 170 votes on a record high turnout of 68%. This was the smallest majority in Scotland.

In past local elections, the Conservatives have performed better in Ayr West, Troon and Prestwick, with the SNP and Labour performing better in more deprived areas within the constituency such as Ayr North and parts of Ayr East.

Members of the Scottish Parliament
At the 1999 Scottish Parliament election, Labour's Ian Welsh became Ayr's first constituency MSP at Holyrood, winning the constituency with a majority of 25 votes ahead of former Ayr MP Phil Gallie. The constituency went on to elect Conservative John Scott to Parliament in a subsequent by-election held in 2000. Scott held the position of constituency MSP for Ayr until his 2021 defeat by the SNP's Siobhian Brown, who won the constituency for the first time with a majority of 170 votes.

2020s
Ayr became the most marginal constituency in the Scottish Parliament after the 2021 election, with the SNP winning it by just 170 votes.

Joseph Huntley

Joseph Huntley (1775–1857) was an English 19th-century biscuit maker and innovator, who lived in the English town of Reading. In 1822 he founded a small biscuit baker and confectioner shop at number 72 London Street.

Business
At this time, London Street was the main stage coach route from London to Bristol, Bath and the West Country. One of the main calling points of the stage coaches was the Crown Inn, opposite Joseph Huntley's shop and he started selling his biscuits to the travellers on the coaches. Because the biscuits were vulnerable to breakage on the coach journey, he started putting them in a metal tin. Out of this innovation grew two businesses: Joseph (the elder's) biscuit shop that was to become the famous biscuit manufacturer Huntley & Palmers, and Huntley, Bourne and Stevens, a firm of biscuit tin manufacturers founded by his younger son, also called Joseph. In 1838, Joseph Huntley was forced by ill-health to retire, handing control of the shop to his older son Thomas Huntley, who was joined in partnership by George Palmer.

CD23

CD23, also known as Fc epsilon RII, or FcεRII, is the "low-affinity" receptor for IgE, an antibody isotype involved in allergy and resistance to parasites, and is important in regulation of IgE levels. Unlike many of the antibody receptors, CD23 is a C-type lectin. It is found on mature B cells, activated macrophages, eosinophils, follicular dendritic cells, and platelets.

There are two forms of CD23: CD23a and CD23b. CD23a is present on follicular B cells, whereas CD23b requires IL-4 to be expressed on T-cells, monocytes, Langerhans cells, eosinophils, and macrophages.

Function
CD23 is known to have a role of transportation in antibody feedback regulation. Antigens which enter the blood stream can be captured by antigen specific IgE antibodies. The IgE immune complexes that are formed bind to CD23 molecules on B cells, and are transported to the B cell follicles of the spleen. The antigen is then transferred from CD23+ B cells to CD11c+ antigen presenting cells. The CD11c+ cells in turn present the antigen to CD4+ T cells, which can lead to an enhanced antibody response.

Clinical significance
The allergen responsible in dust mite allergy—Der p 1—is known to cleave CD23 from a cell’s surface. As CD23 is soluble, it can move freely and interact with cells in plasma. Recent studies have shown that increased levels of soluble CD23 cause the recruitment of non-sensitised B-cells in the presentation of antigen peptides to allergen-specific B-cells, therefore increasing the production of allergen specific IgE. IgE, in turn, is known to upregulate the cellular expression of CD23 and Fc epsilon RI (high-affinity IgE receptor).

In flow cytometry, CD23 is helpful in the differentiation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CD23-positive) from mantle cell lymphoma (CD23-negative). CD23 can also be demonstrated in germinal centre follicular dendritic cells using immunohistochemistry but is minimally expressed by benign germinal center B cells. In contrast to neoplastic mantle cells (which are negative for CD23), the resting cells of physiologic mantle zone express CD23. Paradoxically, Lymphomas arising from the mantle zone are generally negative for CD23, while most B-cell chronic lymphomocytic leukaemias are positive, allowing immunohistochemistry to distinguish these conditions, which otherwise have a similar appearance. Reed – Sternberg cells are usually positive for CD23.

Aminocaproic acid

Aminocaproic acid (also known as ε-aminocaproic acid, ε-Ahx, or 6-aminohexanoic acid) is a derivative and analogue of the amino acid lysine, which makes it an effective inhibitor for enzymes that bind that particular residue. Such enzymes include proteolytic enzymes like plasmin, the enzyme responsible for fibrinolysis. For this reason it is effective in treatment of certain bleeding disorders, and it is sold under the brand name Amicar. Aminocaproic acid is also an intermediate in the polymerization of Nylon-6, where it is formed by ring-opening hydrolysis of caprolactam. The crystal structure determination showed that the 6-aminohexanoic acid is present as a salt, at least in the solid state.

Medical use
Aminocaproic acid (Amicar) is FDA-approved for use in the treatment of acute bleeding due to elevated fibrinolytic activity. It also carries an orphan drug designation from the FDA for the prevention of recurrent hemorrhage in patients with traumatic hyphema. In clinical practice, aminocaproic acid is frequently used off-label for control of bleeding in patients with severe thrombocytopenia, control of oral bleeding in patients with congenital and acquired coagulation disorders, control of perioperative bleeding associated with cardiac surgery, prevention of excessive bleeding in patients on anticoagulation therapy undergoing invasive dental procedures, and reduction of the risk of catastrophic hemorrhage in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Heckler & Koch HK36

The HK36 was an experimental assault rifle introduced by Heckler & Koch in the early 1970s. At the time, research in small-caliber military cartridges had become more popular thanks to the United States' adoption and combat use of the M16 and its 5.56×45mm round.

The HK36 rifle fired a 4.6×36 mm round whose bullet has a "spoon point" (German: Löffelspitz) designed by CETME's Dr. Gunther Voss. Low bullet weight and the straight-line layout of the rifle reduced recoil, while the high velocity of the round gave it an almost flat trajectory out to 300 m, which was also the limit of its effective range. Beyond that point, the bullet lost velocity very quickly.

Operation
The HK36 used H&K's delayed blowback system, with a four-position selector switch for the firing mode. In order from top to bottom, these were safe (marked "0"), single-shot ("1"), full-automatic ("25" or "30") and controlled burst ("3")—however, the weapon was intended to be available with 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-round burst mode.

Ejection of empty cartridge cases was to the right, while the bolt remained open once all ammunition had been expended.

Magazine
Early versions of the weapon had a standard detachable box magazine made from stamped metal.

The method of reloading for the later prototypes was an unusual departure from modern systems, being intended to reduce weight along with eliminating the handling of individual rounds. The rifle had a metal box mounted permanently below the receiver, in front of the trigger guard; this magazine had a side-opening "door" through which a pre-packaged box of 30 cartridges could be inserted once a knob on the rifle had been pulled down. The box had an open top and bottom, closed by tape, so that the magazine follower could push the rounds up into the rifle during firing.

Variants
As mentioned, early models used a conventional detachable box magazine while later versions had the integral one. In addition, most of the rifles appear to have been fitted with a telescoping stock of a completely different type than that fitted to most other Heckler & Koch weapons (such as the G3 and MP5), but some are known with a fixed, plastic stock.

Legacy
Despite never being accepted for military service, the rifle was notable for introducing the three-round burst concept and integrated optics to Heckler & Koch weapons. The various innovations gave H&K some interesting ideas for the future, which have resurfaced in the Heckler & Koch MP7 PDW and G36 rifle.

Scotch College, Adelaide
Hi Kate42, while some of the edits you've made to this article are quite good, there are a number of problems regarding Wikipedia policy. Apart from the uncertain copyright status of the images you've uploaded, it also appears that you've copied and pasted copyrighted text from the school's website to the "History" section of the article (see WP:Plagiarism). You also haven't provided any references to the changes you've made (see WP:Verifiability). Apart from material which can be sourced to the school's website, if you are involved with the school and/or writing from your own personal knowledge, you may have a WP:Conflict of interest. There is also a need to avoid peacock terms such as "legendary". On a lesser level, there is also your overuse of the "Gallery" template for adding images to the article - this template is used for placing a number of (usually related) images together, usually at the end of an article, and not for inserting single images spaced throughout the body of the article.

FYI the local Wikipedia community in Adelaide is holding an edithathon on July 6 - these experienced editors will be happy to provide guidance on how to edit Wikipedia and avoid these problems. In the meantime I'll revert some of your changes to the article, to make it less problematic. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 04:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Stars of the Lid

Stars of the Lid is an American ambient music project that formerly consisted of Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie. The duo formed in Austin, Texas, in 1993. They have been acclaimed for their music incorporating droning, effects-treated guitars along with piano, strings, and horns, described as "divine, classical drone without the tedious intrusion of drums or vocals." After McBride's death in 2023, Wiltzie remains the sole member.

History
Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie formed Stars of the Lid in 1993 in Austin, Texas. McBride said in an interview that the band's name refers to "your own personal cinema, located between your eye and eyelid", suggesting the colors and patterns one can see with closed eyes (either phosphenes or closed-eye hallucinations). They listed among their influences minimalist and electronic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Zbigniew Preisner, Gavin Bryars, Henryk Górecki and Brian Eno, as well as post-rock artists Talk Talk and Labradford. They recorded their debut album Music for Nitrous Oxide throughout 1993 and 1994 with third musician Kirk Laktas, and released the album in 1995 on the Sedimental label. Laktas did not continue with the group, and the duo of McBride and Wiltzie steadily continued with Gravitational Pull vs. the Desire for an Aquatic Life in 1996, The Ballasted Orchestra in 1997, Per Aspera Ad Astra in 1998, and Avec Laudenum in 1999, as well as the limited edition EP Maneuvering the Nocturnal Hum and a split single with Windsor for the Derby, both in 1998.

Stars of the Lid then released their first double album, The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid, in late October 2001. Nearly six years later, the duo released their second double album, And Their Refinement of the Decline, in April 2007 to widespread critical acclaim. In December 2007, American webzine Somewhere Cold voted Stars of the Lid Artist of the Year on their 2007 Somewhere Cold Awards Hall of Fame.

Stars of the Lid toured worldwide throughout 2007 and 2008 in support of the album; throughout their European tour, they were joined live by a string trio featuring Lucinda Chua of Felix on cello, Noura Sanatian on violin, and Ela Baruch on viola. Their North American line-up included Julia Kent on cello. The band would very occasionally play shows around the world from 2009 to 2017, usually as part of a one-off event.

The duo was active pursuing side-projects and solo releases after And Their Refinement of the Decline. A teaser trailer for a possible Stars of the Lid feature film surfaced on the internet in 2008, but the group did not release any new material.

McBride died in August 2023. A subsequent interview by The Guardian with Wiltzie confirmed that he may be interested in finishing up and publishing music the duo had left behind. According to the article, sessions were done throughout the 2010s with a “list of what was supposed to be the next release” apparently recorded. Wiltzie plans on eventually releasing an album's worth of their recordings, stating, “I can’t yet put my arms around the memory of Brian, but someday I am going to try to do this for everyone, so at least the end is documented.”

With Wiltzie completing some of the work that remained unfinished, no official disbandment has yet been confirmed on any social media page or article, as new official releases may surface.

Solo and side-projects
Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie have both released material outside of Stars of the Lid. McBride released his first solo album When the Detail Lost Its Freedom in November 2005, then released The Effective Disconnect in October 2010, which serves as a soundtrack to the documentary Vanishing of the Bees, a film about colony collapse disorder. McBride teamed up with musician Kenneth James Gibson and began recording and releasing new music under the name Bell Gardens; their debut EP Hangups Need Company was released in May 2010, their first full-length album Full Sundown Assembly followed in November 2012, and their second album Slow Dawns for Lost Conclusions was released in October 2014 via Rocket Girl.

Wiltzie has been involved in several collaborative projects: The Dead Texan (with visual artist Christina Vantzou), Aix Em Klemm (with Robert Donne from Labradford), and A Winged Victory for the Sullen (with composer Dustin O'Halloran). Wiltzie currently lives in Brussels, Belgium, and McBride in Los Angeles, California until his passing.

User talk:Mr Pyles

[| Archived Talk Page]

I am on hiatus from wikipedia. My wife has been diagnosed with cancer. I have no time for hobbies. ~Mr Pyles

Def Leppard
Consensus was favoured with pop metal and two sources in the infobox. Do not remove. Jamcad01 (talk) 21:45, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Pop metal is a redirect link to a different article. On Wikipedia redirect links are frowned upon. Also please read WP:CIVIL and then read WP:DICK. You appear to favour one over the other resulting in numerous (now blanked) warnings on your talk page. Just a hint... the behaviour described in the second link... YOU... is also frowned upon on Wikipedia and can find you blocked very quick if you don't straighten up and stop acting the way you are right now. Mr Pyles (talk) 22:59, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow! Thank you for the civility. I actually want it to be glam metal instead of pop metal but the consensus favours pop metal because the sources clearly state pop metal. Also those warnings were from Rush not Def Leppard. Also that link to Dick is offensive. Battleground "Wikipedia is not a place to hold grudges, import personal conflicts, carry on ideological battles, or nurture prejudice, hatred, or fear. Making personal battles out of Wikipedia discussions goes directly against our policies and goals. In addition to avoiding battles in discussions, do not make changes to content or policies just to prove a point to someone with whom you disagree." So please try to act a bit calmer. --Jamcad01 (talk) 23:08, 26 December 2011 (UTC) Also please stop Wikistalking me. --Jamcad01 (talk) 23:10, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Also you are a hypocrite for sending me the link to civility. "Incivility consists of personal attacks, rudeness, disrespectful comments, and aggressive behaviours that disrupt the project and lead to unproductive stress and conflict. Editors are human, capable of mistakes, so a few minor incidents of incivility are not in themselves a major concern. However, a studied pattern of incivility is disruptive and unacceptable, and may result in blocks if it rises to the level of harassment or egregious personal attacks. A single act of incivility can also cross the line if it is severe enough: for instance, extreme verbal abuse or profanity directed at another contributor, or a threat against another person can all result in blocks without consideration of a pattern." This is what you are doing and this also came from the Civility page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamcad01 (talk • contribs) 23:31, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Noted... and promptly disregarded. If you are looking for a stage to perform more drama queen soliloquies... try a different forum other than Wikipedia. Happy New Year to you. Now trot off.... Mr Pyles (talk) 23:35, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
For your kind words on my page. There are a lot of Fleetwood Mac related articles that I try to work on, but it's quite a task at times, especially when I get distracted by other topics. There's still a lot of work to do, but it means a lot when someone appreciates it, so thanks very much! All the best to you, Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:28, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You have earned the accolades and a few Barnstars as well I see. There are many disruptive and uncivil trolls lurking in the music article ocean. You have shown yourself to be an editor of great demeanour and merit. Cheers to you and all you've done for Wikipedia. Mr Pyles (talk) 00:57, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I've certainly met a few difficult characters, but also some really knowledgable and good-spirited people, and I'd like to think the latter outnumber the former. Thanks again, much appreciated :) Happy New Year! Bretonbanquet (talk) 01:09, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

List of doom metal bands
Can you show me this talk page consensus, before I go to the trouble of finding a whole further bunch of print sources? The Allmusic ref is totally unambiguous for the record, which alone would justify the band's inclusion on the list. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 11:10, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * On the Black Sabbath talk page itself the topic of doom metal, usually put forth by anons is always acknowledged by "veteran' editors (people like Rodhullandemu, JO4n, Radioapthy, Wikilibs, Anger22 etc) as being valid only in-so-far-as they were an influence .... more in the lyrical than in the musical. This message seems to ring thru every single time the topic is broached. I personally would agree... when I saw them live in 1972 and 1975 they were heavy.. and they had some doom quality in a song or 2. But what always rings out was the blues riffs and the hooks... even in the slow songs. As for allmusic... when I go back to the WP:RS discussion (archive 14) about whther Allmusic is a valid resource when it comes to heavy metal the consensus of the discussion is that since the website seems to carry over so many style note from one album to the next... then the page should never be used on any page where there is a consistent debate. The Black Sabbath talk page clearly show a consistent debate, albeit from IPs mainly, so in this case allmusic should be ignored where Back Sabbath genre are concerned. Hope that helps. Have a Happy Metal New Year! Mr Pyles (talk) 17:00, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Re: Bill Ward on Mob Rules
Whoops, how very right you are! I'm embarrassed to have failed to think of that when fixing the added wikilink. Cheers, Colinclarksmith (talk) 05:57, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I questioned removing it since the Deluxe version of the album (which is a limited release) contains the HM soundtrack version of the song. But on the grand scheme of things... where that release is so limited... it is misleading and stretching the truth quite a bit to get that album into the Ward discography when, in truth, he was not a part of the original recording at all. Perhaps I am wrong on that. But that's just how I looked at the big picture. Happy New Year! Mr Pyles (talk) 06:00, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, I don't think the record has a place on a short discography list like that. If it were more exhaustive, then maybe, but a one-track appearance doesn't warrant inclusion here, I would say.  Cheers, Colinclarksmith (talk) 15:00, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Nobody's Fault but Mine genre
There is a discussion here that you might be interested in joining.  R ad io pa th y  •talk•  00:34, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

WP:BURDEN
I've looked at your edit summaries and they are almost a personal message to me.

The above link explains that it is the person-supplying-the-information's responsibility to provide a citation. Removing unreferenced content is actually quite responsible.Curb Chain (talk) 12:14, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

overkill
I looked at the link you provided as a footnote. Nowhere does it mention that the artist plays "thrash metal". thrash it mentions, but that can refer to many different genres. To have an artist included, the the footnote must mention the artist plays the genre without ambiguity.Curb Chain (talk) 12:28, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

You can drop the thinly veiled personal attacks. The person adding the material without a source can have the unsourced material removed. It's as simple as that. The person removing the material has no responsibility to add sources.Curb Chain (talk) 18:47, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * But they were all valid entries... and you could have easily added sources rather than lie through your teeth and call a legit edit vandalism. You are a newbie so WP:AGF still covers your ignorance... for now. But since the page has several regular editors... instead of just reverting blindly like a 6 year old would do.... if it is a legit edit... try doing what good Wikipedia editors do and find a ref. If it is a nonsense edit... by all means, revert it. But when it's a list a thrash metal bands and you revert someone adding the band Vio-Lence to the list... that isn't reverting reverting vandalism... that is being nothing short of ignorant and a**hole-ish. You obviously know nothing about the subject... so it could be a mistake. But you were also asked politely to simply tag for references and wait. If no one adds of ref within a week or 2... then feel free to remove. Remember.. you are not the only editor of the page... and you do not OWN it. So join the Wikipedia community... don't alienate it. One last tip. If a band is a heavy metal band... and they are someohow connected in a ref that says 'thrash' but not metal... that ref is valid enough as long as it passes WP:RS. It doesn't have to say 'metal' to be a reference about thrash metal... hope that helps. Cheers and take care. Mr Pyles (talk) 22:13, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Your first edit to the page was 00:09, 27 December 2011. None of them were valid entries.  Once again, if WP:BURDEN states specifically that the responsibility to provide references is the editor who adds the nascent material.  The latest edit that I labelled "vandalism" was with the edit summary "vandalism/no sources" at 17:43 5 November 2011.  This was before your first edit to the article.  Are you accusing me of falsifying my edit summaries?  I may have miss labelled my edit summaries earlier labelling them vandalism, but I had removed many uncited entries as well, which have not reappeared in the last months.
 * I doubt 6 year olds have even the hand-key coordination to make edits on wikipedia. Do you have a rational argument to compare my edits to?
 * If it is not a legit [sic] edit, then please report me. If I did something bad, please report me.  We have oversight mechanisms on wikipedia.  Oh, I am definitely ignorant of thrash metal, but not of wikipedia policies and guidelines.  I "know" nothing about the subject, nor do I need to.
 * I am here to make articles better. I don't want to see entries added without references.
 * In this section, I explain that thrash can mean more than just "thrash metal". Please peruse thrash as it explains that if a citation mentions "thrash", it may not mean "thrash metal"
 * If you have the inclination to rage, I suggest you take a wikibreak as that is what most wikieditors do to blow off steam.Curb Chain (talk) 04:57, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Yo've been earning it. Nice signature. Made me think of the BOC logo for some reason? Mr Pyles (talk) 03:07, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I've no idea what that logo is. I just like the upside down question mark, and I just like the colors :)-- ¿3fam  ily6  contribs 03:10, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The ol' BOC logo is sort-of an upside-down Q mark with a cross attached.... Eric Bloom has a custom guitar made to look like it. see pic It adorned a few Blue Oyster Cult albums. Your inverted punctation just made me think of it quickly. Its a cool design for a sig. Makes other editors remember who you are. (and thats a good thing... I've been editing Wikipedia off and on for 7 years... a positive rep is good.... give you lots of elbow room) Mr Pyles (talk) 03:15, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Steve Clark
I have read the template on what should be notable instruments for the person and would like to explain why Les Paul, Firebird and EDS-1275 should go in. The Les Paul is obvious as he had long faithful use of it for his entire career as well as having custom made models that are unique (Three Humbuckers & Tremolo.) One of his Firebirds was also custom made and should go in. He was one of the very few 80s guitarists to actually play a Doubleneck Gibson EDS-1275 so that should go in as well. I can supply sources if you like. --Jamcad01 (talk) 07:51, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw the source on the LoGP page. It's an Italian page (originally) so it can't be used on English Wikipedia. I am pretty sure an English version of the same article must be somewhere. Find it and then use it in both the list and in the main main Clark article. Mr Pyles (talk) 17:57, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find an English version so found some new sources. --Jamcad01 (talk) 00:41, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * A Japanese magazine is an English source? What is the quote? It should be included in the citation. Mr Pyles (talk) 12:19, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I've fixed it so it doesn't contain Japenese sources. --Jamcad01 (talk) 08:00, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Stratospheerius
In regards to Stratospheerius and Alex Skolnick, Skolnick was a full member on their first group album (Adventures of...), playing guitar on the album and co-writing. He was then a guest on the Live Wires album as he and Deninzon continued to collaborate. His member status is supported by the liner notes of the CD, the information on the group's website, and heard it direct from the bandleader Deninzon himself. I plan on expanding their page, providing a bit more history of the band using proper references and sources. Oh, and saw the note about your wife. Hope she is doing well. --D.c.roth (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:49, 24 January 2012 (UTC).
 * Usually guest instrumentalists do not get full member status... just guests. And there is no strong citations to support being a full member other than sources from the group themselves... which would be a self-ref and therefore fail WP:V. If other citations are available that would be perfectly OK. And Mrs Pyles is dead. Mr Pyles (talk) 03:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Skolnick was only a guest instrumentalist on the Live disc. He was a full member for the first one. As for web citations, check the Stratospheerius website (http://www.stratospheerius.com/pages/link_main.html) where he is listed as a "Former Member". There are no citations to support Skolnick being a guest instrumentalist other than for his guest appearance on the live album. Sorry to hear about the wife. D.C.Roth 13:25, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Scrutinizer
Hi, Mr Pyles You're user name frequently enters my watchlist, mostly when you revert edits on various metal articles, so I think (and hope) you can help me with the following question. I've noticed this user's contributions and am not sure whether these are factual or biased or even vandalism, I just don't know enough about the subject. What cought my eye was the multiple removal of Leo Ntourntourekas and Chris Davis on Avenged Sevenfold sideprojects and albums. Would you take a look for me and see what you make of it? Thank you, Quibus (talk) 19:31, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

IP Addresses making genre changes?
What's up with the random IP Addresses making incorrect and random genre changes on articles?

TJD2 (talk) 05:23, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done other than monitor the pages that are the regular haunts and if it gets too bad you can request a semi-protect on the page to keep the IPs out. Mr Pyles (talk) 00:27, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Queen genres
Could you please explain more fully what you are doing to the info boxes in Queen articles? Apart from the fact you have already been reverted a number of times when doing this, I do not understand what you are trying to say in your summaries. What is the consensus you mention? What has citing within the article got to do with anything? The genre is that of the recording, not that generally of Queen. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 15:52, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Every queen article lists rock and then details with citations the styles covered. Look at them all. There are a few useless fanboys hovering over 1 or 2 pages for some strange reason... but all the rest remain consistent... And the Queen project and numerous discussion on the main Queen page supports the consistency. Mr Pyles (talk) 03:26, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Please stop making changes like these  before explaining your actions. Thank you, MarioNovi (talk) 05:03, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * A ) you keep adding arena rock to a field that is for genres only. And Arena Rock is not a musical genre ... even the article for it supports that. And so you are misusing an infobox for false entries.... and B )  for all other Queen related articles you need to read the talk pages of both Queen and the Queen wikipedia project to see the concensus that all Queen articles are to only list 'rock' in the infobox with a detailed and referenced musical style section written in prose within the article being completely acceptable since the band covers so many styles on each album listing anything other than the parent genre is useless.

 * I am not sure how to word any comment that the other editor who is violating WP:OWN] by pressing his "my opinion is the facts" stance... since Arena Rock NOT being a genre has its entire foundation in editor consensus.... it can't be used as a source for the argument itself.

....give me time to think on it. Meanwhile don't spin any wheels on it. You can't win every battle and constant reverts between editors solves nothing.

 * No problem! Take as much time as you need. Don't worry, I won't comment on it further. No need to stir the pot. What bothers me is not the editor's stance per se, but his thinly veiled hostility as well as his acting as if he owns the article (as you pointed out) that bugs me. As I pointed out, I think he would be better served if he simply brought this up on the Arena rock talk page. That way, if the consensus changes, it will be consistent. Anyways, take as much time as you need to gather your thoughts! Cheers! Johnny338 (talk) 21:28, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I have brought this issue up on the music genres task force here, since there appears to be a lot of confusion regarding whether arena rock constitutes a genre or musical style, or whether it is just a term. Feel free to weigh in! Johnny338 (talk) 17:20, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Comment on two GARs
Hi there. Looking at the albums listed as GAs, I've noticed two in awful condition. I opened a reassessment here and here, so please voice your opinion whether should they remain GAs or not. I assume there won't be much of a discussion, so your comment is very appreciated. Till our next chit-chat.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 21:18, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Ole Gabriel Ueland

Ole Gabriel Ueland (28 October 1799 – 9 January 1870) was a Norwegian political leader and member of the Norwegian Parliament (1833–1869). Historians credit him with having popularized politics in rural Norway, paving the way for individuals of limited backgrounds to rise to positions of political importance.

Ueland was the son of Gabriel Osmundsen (1760–1843) and his wife Ingeborg Osmundsdatter Skaaland (1764–1816). Ueland was born on the Skåland farm in Lund parish in Rogaland, Norway. Ueland was raised in the traditional district of Dalane, a region characterized by small farms and an environment influenced by the Haugean Movement (haugianere).

Although his formal education had been limited to random local lessons, he had proven an unusual aptitude for learning and an appetite for reading. From 1817 until 1825, Ueland was a schoolteacher in Lund parish. He had by way of marriage acquired the Uelnd farm (Ueland i Heskestad). By 1827, he was installed as the sexton in the local church at Heskestad in Lund parish. From 1827 to 1852 he was a teacher in Heskestad, before he became sheriff (1852–1856).

He was elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1833, representing the rural constituency of Stavanger Amt (now Rogaland). He remained a parliament member until 1869, having been re-elected thirteen times. He became the leader for the peasant and farmer's movement in politics and earned respect for his deliberate and wise political outlook.

Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson wrote of him:

 * Though he is a farmer behind his plough
 * and a sailor in his boat
 * he thought as well as anyone
 * in all the King's council
 * When he met in parliament
 * to promote the cause of farmers
 * every word gave birth to a ray
 * in the people's young day .
 * in the people's young day .

Walong

Walong is an administrative town and the headquarters of eponymous circle in the Anjaw district in eastern-most part of Arunachal Pradesh state in India. It also has a small cantonment of the Indian Army. Walong is on banks of Lohit River, which enters India 35 km north of Walong at India-China LAC at Kaho pass.

Walong is also the easternmost town in mainland India. It is 20 km south of Kibithu, 60 km west of Diphu Pass (near India-China-Myanmar tri-junction), and 90 km north of district headquarter at Hawai. Anjaw district was carved out of Lohit District in 2004.

Geography
Walong lies on the west bank of the Lohit River, a tributary of the Brahmaputra, approximately 20 kilometres south of the Tibetan border. The forest around Walong is rich in wildlife. Rare mammals such as Mishmi takin, Red goral and Leaf muntjac occurs while among birds there is the rare Sclater's Monal. A flying squirrel, the Mishmi Hills Giant Flying Squirrel (Petaurista mishmiensis) also occurs in this district.

History
The enquiries of British officials in 1911 revealed that Walong had been established by Miju Mishmis many years earlier for cattle-rearing and as a refuge for Tibetans who came down or ran away from the north. In the vicinity of Walong, several abandoned villages were found, where Tibetans had lived and then returned to Tibet.

1911 Chinese encroachments

During Zhao Erfeng's campaigns in southeastern Tibet (Kham), Chinese troops arrived at Rima on the Tibetan border. After expelling all the Tibetan officials from there, they entered the Walong area and erected a boundary plank at a location called Menilkrai three miles south of Walong, claiming the area to be part of China. After some coaxing, the headman of Walong admitted to the British political officer in 1914 that the Chinese had sent for him and told him to inform the British officials of their claims. The political officer, T. P. M. O'Callaghan, had the plank and the post promptly removed.

Shortly after the Zhao Erfeng's campaigns, the Qing dynasty fell and the Chinese lost all authority in Tibet. Nevertheless, during the 1914 Simla Conference, the Chinese made renewed claims to the Walong area as being part of China (as part of western Kham). The claims were rejected by the Tibetan and British delegates. The McMahon Line boundary, agreed between Tibet and British India, ran a little south of Rima.

1962 war

In autumn of 1962, during the Sino-Indian War, Walong was the scene of the Battle of Walong, where the Indian Army 11th Infantry Brigade battled the Chinese advances.

The killed and wounded numbered 642 Indians and 752 Chinese. Indians were defeated at Walong, however the Chinese withdrawal allowed India to regain the territory.

A canopied memorial to the Indian war dead of 1962 was erected next to the airstrip with the following verses composed by a Walong veteran inscribed on it:

 * The sentinel hills that round us stand
 * bear witness that we loved our land.
 * Amidst shattered rocks and flaming pine
 * we fought and died on Namti Plain.

 * O Lohit gently by us glide
 * pale stars above us softly shine
 * as we sleep here in sun and rain.

Transport
Walong is approximately 200 km. by road from the district headquarters town of Tezu. It had an Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) which was capable of taking Otters and Caribous during the 1962 Sino-Indian War. Thereafter, it remained abandoned for a long time till 2013 when reconstruction of ALG began. The reconstructed ALG was inaugurated on 23 October 2015. There is an operational helipad.

Sol Davis

Solomon Sebastian Davis (born 4 September 1979) is an English footballer who plays for Arlesey Town.

Career
Born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, Davis is a left-back who played over 130 times for Swindon Town before being transferred to Luton Town in August 2002, bought by then manager Joe Kinnear.

Davis was named Players' Player of the Year following the club's League One winning campaign in 2004–05 in which Davis scored twice – his first ever goals in professional football.

At the beginning of the 2007–08 season, Davis found himself out of favour with new Luton boss Kevin Blackwell and was subsequently placed on the transfer list. Davis joined League Two side Peterborough United on a two-month loan on 24 September 2007, but returned to Luton in early October due to injury. After Blackwell's departure, Davis was immediately recalled to the side by new manager Mick Harford, but could not prevent Luton's relegation to League Two.

In the 2008–09 season, Davis made 24 league appearances for Luton as the Hatters were relegated out of The Football League. He was not offered a new contract at the end of the year, and was released on 27 May 2009. Davis played a total of 229 games in all competitions for Luton over the course of seven seasons, and was a highly popular player with the fans at Kenilworth Road.

On 17 July 2009, Davis joined Grimsby Town on trial. Later that day he played in the club's 3–2 South West Challenge Cup victory over Yeovil Town.

In August 2009 he signed short-term contract with Milton Keynes Dons.

Following that, in November 2009, he joined Kettering Town on loan by appointment of manager-player Lee Harper, alongside MK Dons midfielder Ritchie Partridge.

Along with 3 other players he was released by MK Dons at the end of his contract on 30 June 2010.

One day later, Davis signed permanently on a two-year contract for Kettering.

In the summer of 2012, Davis spent pre-season training with Hinckley United playing in several friendly games.

Davis joined up with former teammates Shane Blackett and Nathan Abbey at Southern League side Arlesey Town in 2012.

Stroke
On 28 October 2006, it was revealed that Davis had suffered a stroke whilst travelling to his team's match at Ipswich Town on the next day. He was taken into the specialist unit at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge. The squad had been on their way to the Belstead Brook hotel in Ipswich on Saturday when Davis lost feeling in his left side and this was affecting his speech. Davis however returned to action and started in the game against Cardiff City on 1 January 2007.

WPPN

WPPN (106.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to Des Plaines, Illinois, that targets the Chicago metropolitan area. WPPN broadcasts a Spanish AC format. WPPN is owned by TelevisaUnivision through its Uforia Audio Network subsidiary. The station's studios are located at 625 North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, and its transmitter is located in Arlington Heights.

Due to WPPN's 50,000-watt signal and north suburban location, it can be heard through much of the Rockford area and southeastern Wisconsin. It also broadcasts in the HD Radio (hybrid) format.

Request Radio
The station began broadcasting December 3, 1971, holding the call sign WYEN. The station was owned by Walt-West Enterprises. WYEN aired an all-request format branded "Request Radio", playing music requested by listeners. Contemporary and middle of the road music was played on the station.

"Request Radio" continued airing on the station through the mid–1980s. In 1986, the station was sold to Flint Metro Mass Media for $8 million.

Z Rock
On September 1, 1986 the station's call sign was changed to WZRC, and the station adopted a hard rock/heavy metal format, becoming the first affiliate of the syndicated Z Rock network.

The Wave
In October 1987, the station's call sign was changed to WTWV, and the station adopted a new-age/smooth jazz/soft rock format as "The Wave". The station was an affiliate of the Satellite Music Network, with programming originating on KTWV in Los Angeles.

WYLL
In 1989, the station was sold to Salem Communications for $9,250,000, and the station adopted a Christian contemporary music format, with its call sign being changed to WYLL. However, the format was short-lived, as Salem gradually replaced the Christian contemporary music with Christian talk programming.

By 1991, Christian contemporary music was mostly relegated to weekends. Christian talk and teaching programs heard on WYLL included shows hosted by Alistair Begg, Chuck Swindoll, Adrian Rogers, Chuck Smith, Beverly LaHaye, Jay Sekulow, James Dobson, Hank Hanegraaff, Janet Parshall, and Sandy Rios. As a Christian talk and teaching station, WYLL was branded "Your Station For Life" and later "Chicago's Word".

In 2000, Salem acquired WXRT 1160 (formerly known as WJJD) for $29 million. In February 2001, Salem moved the Christian talk programming of WYLL to 1160, along with the WYLL call letters.

The Fish
With the move of WYLL to 1160, 106.7's call sign was temporarily changed to WYLL-FM. On March 2, 2001, the station adopted Christian contemporary format branded "106.7 The Fish", with the slogan "Safe for the Whole Family". The station was launched with "40 days and 40 nights" of commercial free music. Shortly thereafter, the station's call sign was changed to WZFS. "The Fish" branding, a reference to the ichthys used in the station's logo, was also used by Salem for Christian contemporary stations in other markets, such as Atlanta, on WFSH-FM 104.7, and Los Angeles, on 95.9 KFSH-FM.

In 2004, Salem agreed to trade WZFS and KSFB 100.7 (now KVVZ) in the San Francisco area to Univision in exchange for KOBT 100.7 in the Houston area (now KKHT-FM), KHCK 1480 in Dallas (now KNGO), KOSL-FM 94.3 in Sacramento (now KGRB), and 560 WIND in Chicago.

Spanish language formats
On November 1, 2004, Univision launched a Spanish-language adult contemporary format on the station, branded "Pasion 106.7". The station's call sign was changed to WPPN shortly thereafter.

In October 2005, Univision tweaked the music blend of WPPN, but left the name and the personalities of "Pasion" in place, with the station shifting to a Spanish oldies/adult hits format.

On January 28, 2009, sister station WVIV-FM changed its format to Spanish oldies and WPPN adopted a Spanish CHR/Hurban format as "La Kalle."

On July 1, 2011, WPPN changed their format back to Spanish adult contemporary, and re-branded as "Pasion 106.7", while the previous "La Kalle" format moved to WVIV-FM 103.1 FM/WVIX 93.5 FM.

In March 2014, WPPN rebranded as "Amor 106.7".

Vedior

Vedior N.V. was an international staffing services company providing flexible labour, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and, thus, contributes more than 60% of its revenue to the social benefits of its employees there. Vedior operates in most of Europe, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Middle East and Asia. It has been a wholly owned part of Randstad Holding since the end of June 2008.

The company operated in 50 countries and provides professional and executive personnel in IT, accounting, healthcare, engineering, legal, and education. It also provided HR-related services such as vendor management, outplacement, training and business process outsourcing. Vedior operated under a number of separate brands.

History
Vedior was originally created as a spin-off from the Dutch retail and services company Vendex, following the acquisition of the French company Bis. In 1999 Vedior's application to purchase Select, a UK-based staffing company with operations in the USA and Australia, was approved by the European Commission. Post merger, Vedior became the fourth largest staffing company in the world. Former Select CEO Tony Martin subsequently became the new CEO. Zach Miles replaced Martin as CEO in 2004, and oversaw more than 20 company acquisitions. Tex Gunning joined the company as Miles' replacement in September 2007 having previously been Group Vice President for South East Asia and Australasia at Unilever. Gunning left the firm after its acquisition by Randstad in 2008.

On 3 December 2007, Vedior agreed in principle to be acquired by larger Dutch-listed rival Randstad for around €3.5 billion. The combined company would be second only to Adecco in the global recruitment business. Randstad launched a formal offer valuing Vedior at €3.3 billion on 2 April 2008, with the takeover targeted to be completed in May. At the close of the offer period on 13 May, Randstad declared ownership of over 93% of Vedior's shares, facilitating the company's removal from the AEX index.
