28,290,782 | ==Listed buildings in Rivington==
Excellent work. Ready for GA list in my view. You should nominate it. Dr. Blofeld White cat
A very good piece of work and nearly IMO ready for recognition. But it's a list-article rather than an article and should be submitted as a list. The problem is that there is no such thing as a "Good List"; you'll have to go for Featured List, and that would be appropriate. I've had a bit of success in that area and would like to make some early suggestions for improvement. First the dates don't sort properly. I can see that you have put a lot of effort into this, but have a look and you'll see what I mean. A minor point: you need to add a few non-breaking spaces to avoid splitting at the ends of lines; examples are Grade X, Xth century, and everywhere a word follows a number such as 21 listed buildings. I have suffered (enjoyed) some comments about the sort of references you have used. You might be interested to read the debate at Featured list candidates/Historic Chapels Trust/archive1. Images of England is now out of date and is not being updated; Listed Buildings Online contains advertising material (not really approved); so I've switched everything to Heritage Gateway, which has up to date info (the same as LBO) and no adverts. It's not easy to search until you're used to it. If you have the ref nos (IoE), go into Advanced Search (bottom of the opening page), then hit the Resources button in the menu on the left, then put the ref no in the box at the bottom, then click on the Listed Buildings Online link (there should be one result, the one you want), then use that URL. For the publisher etc you can copy what I've done in Historic Chapels Trust (as I was advised here). Sounds complicated but once you are in the rhythm it works well. Good luck; let me know if you nominate it. I have found the reviewers on FLC kinder than those on FAC! (If you want to reply I shall be watching this page.)
(Copied from Peter I. Vardy to keep the discussion in one place) Hi again, thanks for your comments and advice, you're very kind, but if I ever submit it anywhere but DYK then I have a fairly steep learning curve ahead. I'm also a complete wimp when it comes to submitting anything for scrutiny, the result of a very unhealthy working environment that I put up with for years.
I will look at the article and see what I can do but I have no idea how to make the dates sort, perhaps I should just make the table unsortable. As far as the refs go I have read the debate you pointed me to, and well, some of the refs I have used I simply can't find on Images of England or Heritage Gateway, yet. (Does the ref have to be so long?) This will take much longer than you might imagine. : -)
I can't quite make sense of this, from the lead: "Its barn and the barn at Great House Farm were renovated, converted, and used for catering for the early tourist industry by Jonathan Simpson for William Lever in 1904, a function they retain today." Did Jonathan Simpson use the buildings for the tourist industry, or did he do the renovation and conversion? Malleus Fatuorum
Thank you for looking at it. Jonathan Simpson was the architect, I'll change it. :-)
I'm prepared to have a go at making the dates sort properly and doing the refs (the latter is not much more than copy and paste + add a bit). Assuming your permission, I will copy the list and refs (not the lead) into one of my sandboxes. If you like what I have done, it can be copied back into the list. Hope that's OK — if not, just let me know.
Wow, that really is a generous offer Peter, it would be churlish to refuse.:-) I promise I will look at what you do and learn from it!
I've had a go and the result is in Peter I. Vardy/sandbox3, with an explanation of what I've done. I haven't done any copyediting (not my forte). If you like it, just copy it across and overwrite the relevant bits. Cheers.
:That really was quick! I have had a very brief look and it's great. I will copy it. After that I'm out for the afternoon. I'll get back to it later. Many thanks.
::I'm really impressed with the article now both in terms of MF's superior English and Peter's amazing sortable list. I can't thank you enough. I think I even understand what I have to do to make it sort now. I might even try another one day.
:::When I can figure out how to do it, should I nominate it? If I do I hope I survive the personal trauma it will undoubtedly cause me! I really, really am a complete wimp when it comes to scrutiny. And I hope you'll share the credit.
(outdent)Yes. The instructions at Featured list candidates are fairly straightforward. When you do, let me know and I will watch its progress. The credit will be yours; but I will make a comment about the degree of my involvement when I add my support. Cheers.
I did it! I thought I'd do it now as I'm really good at procrastination. I hope I did it correctly, and appreciate your encouragement. I have already broken out into a cold sweat!
Great! I'm pleased to see that Bencherlite has taken an interest so quickly. He is an expert on lists (among other things) and a fine collaborator. This sort of thing is one of the "good" aspects of going for featured.
== Belle Vue ==
There are so many aspects to this story, it's hard to organise them all. You've picked up on one of the most important I think, that Belle Vue was initially a venue for the middle-classes, but quite soon tried to attract the workers as well, especially after the racecourse was built and trains began to arrive. I've come across something that I think is quite bizarre; the outdoor wooden dancing platforms are bizarre enough, but people were outraged because men often danced on them with other men, as contemporary photographs clearly show. That's full-clinch dancing I'm talking about. Malleus Fatuorum
Someone's been busy! When you mentioned the article I thought copyedit, this is something else. Manchester men, what are they like? No busom to busom there then? I like what you've done so far, not so much a list and not so bitty. Are you going to move some more, out of WWII for instance? I've seen the elephant & toll bridge painting in Manchester Art Gallery, it was featured in a rather nice exhibition called "Manchester Attitude" or something similar, a couple of years ago now. I'll snip away but leave the moving to you as you appear to have a plan.
I didn't think there would be so much to do either. My plan, such as it is, is simply to group the material by theme, rather than chronologically. So the zoo, the amusement park, exhibition halls, firework displays and so on. I haven't quite decided how to tackle that WWII section yet. A lot of it's obviously relevant to the zoo, and should probably be moved there. Hopefully as the article develops there will be natural places to put all the rest of that material as well, so the section can go. It sticks out like a sore thumb right now, and makes it look like nothing happened between the end of the war and the Forte takeover. Malleus Fatuorum
By the way I think the elephant poster shows the Bobs roller coaster and must be post 1925 not late 19th C. Just a thought.
:I think you must be right, that's got to be the Bobs'. As we can't date the image, it'll have to go I suppose. Malleus Fatuorum
::It could go in the Funfair where the Bobs is mentioned as the Water Chute is obviously from later. It would be a shame to lose it.
:::How about moving the Funfair section nearer to the end as its closure was the end really? I think the poster is Lil and Phil.
::::I think trying to fit into the existing headings is a bit of a problem, maybe some need renaming so other stuff can be incorporated if you see what I meam. Perhaps I should stop thinking and make some tea.
:::::There does need to be some rejigging done, I agree, as there's still a lot of stuff missing. Like the exhibition halls and what went on in there, the restaurants, concerts, the dancing I mentioned, the recurring fires and vandalism during the later years, the racecourse and Jennison's efforts to attract the working class. The problem with the image is that if we can't date it, then we can't make a credible claim for its copyright having expired. I've found one of the Speedway stadium though, on geograph would you believe, so I'll stick that in. Malleus Fatuorum

6,524,847 | Charles Hamilton, 5th Earl of Abercorn (died June 1701) was a Scottish peer, the younger son of George Hamilton, 4th Baron Hamilton of Strabane and Elizabeth Fagan.
His elder brother Claud Hamilton, 4th Earl of Abercorn, a Jacobite, died in a sea-fight in 1691, having forfeited the Barony of Hamilton of Strabane, in Ireland, through attainder. Charles succeeded him as Earl of Abercorn and obtained a reversal of the attainder on 24 May 1692. He married his cousin Catherine Hamilton, daughter of James Hamilton, Lord Paisley, but had no children. In 1697, he was tried for the murder of John Prior on the grounds of Burford Priory, but was acquitted.
He died in Strabane in 1701, and was succeeded by his cousin, James.

5,199,172 | Patricia Margot McClain (born May 3, 1954 in Long Beach, California) is an American model. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its May 1976 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Ken Marcus.
In 1996, McClain's firing from her office manager job at a pest extermination company made national news. When she was first hired, she disclosed her playmate past to her employers and was told to keep quiet about it to her co-workers due to the company's sexual harassment policy. She was fired one month after Playboy published the book, Playboy Magazine: Five Decades of Centerfolds. Her lawsuit gained much media attention including segments on Dateline and American Journal, and the lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed sum. After the firing, she worked for Playboy in their editing department and took the occasional modeling gig.
In 1999 she wanted to challenge Elton Gallegly in the Republican primary in his Ventura County district for the following year,. During the campaign, she was quoted about her Playboy past, "They took advantage of me with $15,000. That's what I tell the feminists. It was a growing-up thing, and it was also a little girl's dream." Republican activists dissuaded her, and asked her to explore challenging Democratic Congressman Bob Filner in his San Diego district instead. The plan fell through due to the gauged lack of interest and logistics of her having to move from her Oxnard home to San Diego and find employment.

4,690,982 | Bogustan or Bog-i Ston (Alternatively Baghistan) is located in the Bostonlyk district of the Tashkent province, in the southeast of the Charvak Reservoir at 960 m a.s.l. of western extremity of the Koksu Ridge (West Tien Shan). Practically Bog-i Ston nestles among verdure ashore Pskem River where it flows into the Charvak Reservoir. Bog-i Ston is Tajik for "Land of orchards".
==Population==
Population of the village is 2,000 people. A great majority of population is ethnic Tajiks. The local population lives owing to natural economy: agrarian production, cattle breeding and fruit collection. Nearby villages in the area are as follows: Brichmulla - 4,100 people, Yakkatut - 3,100 people, Yanghikurgan - 700 people, Yusufhona - 500, Yubileiniy - 1,200, Baladala - 1,800 and Nanai - 3,800 people.
==History==
The village origin dates back to 6th century A.D. That was period of rise of Turkic Khaganate (552 - 745), when the settlements and fortified castles began to appear in the foothills and hilly area of Chirchik River. In the Middle Ages mountain routes leading from Semerechie and Ferghana to Chach (Tashkent) converged on the populated area inclusive Bog-i Ston.
Basically Bog-i Ston famous for two outstanding persons, whose lives associate to this village. The most known Sheikh Hovendi at-Tahur (Sheihantaur) was born here at the end of 13th century. He was a Sayyid, meaning that he claimed descent from the Quraish, the tribe of the prophet Muhammad. His father, Sheikh Umar, was believed to be a direct descendant in the seventeenth generation of the second godly Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab, therefore male members of this family also bore the famous title of Khoja (Khwaja). Sheikh Khoja Umar was a devoted Sufi and one of the followers of Dervish Hasan Bulgari. He arrived in Tashkent with a mission to disseminate Islam. Then he went to Bog-i Ston, where at the end of his life Sheikh Khodja Umar has been buried ashore Pscem River. Young Sheihantaur was initiated into the Yasaviyya order of Dervishes in the town of Yasi (now Turkestan in modern-day Kazakhstan) where already at that time the Sufi Sheikh Khoja Ahmad Yasavi, the founder of the order, was revered. After long wanderings around Ma wara'u'n-nahr, Sheihantaur came to Tashkent where he remained in the memory of the people as the wisest of the wise. He was brought to the earth according to his value between 1355 and 1360 in Tashkent (see Sheihantaur).
==Cultural attractions==
The burial place of Sheikh Khodja Umar is high on the list of most respected sacred places of Tashkent province. Unsophisticated arrangement of this place enables be carried away to the history of monuments at another places (such as Sheihantaur necropolis in Tashkent) that has been lost or extravagantly embroidered recently.
The village has well kept traditions and customs of mountain tajiks. The dish "Hashkak", the honey with nuts and "Urosh", the yogurt with spices are considered as distinctive feature of cookery.
==Climate and seasons==
The climate of the area is favorable. Surrounding foothills and the Charvak water reservoir, which moistures and cools down the air in summer (+ 30 C), are most important factors that have an influence on the climate of the area. However, the cold weather is more perceptible in winter (up to -25 C). The rain mainly falls in spring and autumn. The best season for the beachfront tourism is July-August, for horse-riding and hiking - late April and early October.
==Accessibility==
Bog-i Ston is located near to 125 km / 77,7 mi (about 2.5 hour drive) away from Tashkent. There are two ways of reaching the village from Tashkent: via the dam of the Charvak water reservoir or via pass Melovoy and the Chimgan recreation area. The nearest railway station is located close to the village of Khodjikent.

This sounds like a fascinating area of research. I took an invetebrate zoology (pronounced zoe ollijee) course in the 70s. In one of our lab classes we caught insects in nets to etherise and examine under bioscopes.
I spent 20 yrs as an RN in teaching medical centres. For a year I officed with a PA, who was the epidemiologist for ER research. So you epidemiologists, large animal veterinarians and entymologists can help.
Two questions arise: 1. They bites horses, so is Stomoxys calcitrans a vector for deseases such as mosquitos in Eastern equine encephalitis? 2. I remember being bitten by them in horse barns, so does this mean they are potential vectors of other arboviruses such as West Nile virus, which has, by my estimation, about 10-50 unreported human cases in my county? The Christmas crow counts were down a few years ago which the birders are saying is attributable to WNV, and I had a dead common grackle outside my door 4-5 yrs ago. We are starting to see more crows the last 2 yrs or so.
After visiting the project page, I see nobody is working on arthropoda so whoever knows how can put my name down to help
==Stable-fly vs. Horse-fly==
This article claims these are referred to as horse flies, which contradicts Horse-fly. Can someone provide a clarification? Is Horse-fly the "true" horse fly and is a stable fly a "fake" horse fly?Dav2008
Dav2008;
I eagerly await an answer to your question. The more common English names are posted, the more rich the article becomes. That is why Carolus Linnaeus applied binomial nomenclature, invented some 200 years previously by the Bauhin brothers and must remain an integral part of every natural history discussion. In my amateur zooligist's opinion the test has to be, if female/male male/female specimines can produce offspring, they are the same genus and species
As not-remotely-a-zoologist, it's confusing to me. The first 3 of these articles mention "horseflies," but the first two refer to biting flies that are classified significantly differently than the third:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse-fly
(Family: Tabanidae)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer_flies
(Family: Tabanidae.....Genus: Chrysops)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_fly
(Family: Muscidae....Genus: Stomoxys)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housefly
(refers and links to the "Stomoxys" stable fly article, but doesn't mention "Horse flies":)
At the very least, it seems that these articles should acknowledge the phenomenon of "Horsefly" referring to more than one type of fly. Sojambi Pinola (talk)
Common names such as "horse-fly" have no true scientific meaning. However, from my recollection of studying entomology in the 1980s, it was generally accepted that the term "horse-fly" should be applied to any member of the Tabanidae, with the other names (e.g. goldeneye, clegg, etc.) applying to genera or species thereof, and that the stable-fly, being a member of the Muscidae, should therefore not be counted among the horse-flies.
stable fly = stomoxys calcitrans, horse fly = tabanus sp. Two completely different species. Stable flies look identicle to house flies (musca domestica) except with a proboscus for feeding on blood. | 584,249,792 | 2013-12-02T19:37:41 | Stable fly | 2,013 |

The Eatwell Plate was previously known as The Balance of Good Health.
==Recommendations==
The types of food are split into five categories:
Plenty of fruit and vegetables (at least five portions a day). 2-3
Plenty of potatoes, bread, rice, pasta and other starchy foods. 2-3
Some milk and dairy and/or calcium fortified soy milk.2-3
Some meat, fish, eggs and/or non-dairy sources of protein (like beans and pulses).2-3
Only a small amount of high fat/sugar foods.8-11
There is also advice on limiting the salt intake, and drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water, or unsweetened beverages, per day, while avoiding soda pops and soft drinks high in sugar.

8,072,445 | == Merge ==
The article Indo-Scythians covers exactly the topic of this unreferenced article in better detail, so the article Indo-Scythians can be merged into this article. Khestwol (talk)
==Reply to merge proposal==
There are several problems here - not only with the merge proposal - but also with the article itself.
1. First, "Saka" is a term used to refer to many different peoples who shared certain cultural affinities to some degree. Most - but not all - scholars believe they spoke Iranic languages (but others suggest some of them spoke Turkic languages). They were spread out over a very large area of Central Asia and established a number of kingdoms (such as the kingdoms of Khotan and Yarkand, amongst others), so this article is wrong in referring to a single "Saka kingdom."
2. Even within India there were more than one kingdom of "Sakas." For example, the family of the Lord Buddha himself were said to be Sakas ("Shakya") and his father's kingdom was centered in Kapilavastu in the middle Ganges Valley. The article should, perhaps, be expanded to include other Saka kingdoms and headed something like "Saka kingdoms in India."
3. This article does not contain a single footnote and only one general reference to the Mahabharata. It, therefore, needs a lot of work on it before there can be any thought of merging it with any other.
5. "Indo-Scythian" is a term first used in 1841 (according to the Oxford English Dictionary) by M. Elphinstone. Unfortunately, the term has become very loosely used - not only for a number of clearly "Saka" peoples, but also for the Kushans who were at least partially descended from the Da Yuezhi people who invaded the Oxus River (Amu Darya) in the late 2nd century BCE. The Chinese histories clearly distinguish the Da Yuezhi from various groups of Sakas and they even chased at least one tribe of Sakas south into the northwest of the subcontinent.

Who assigns the parcels? Who organizes the growers into an association?
How much of this is voluntary? And are growers allowed or forbidden to sell surplus food they grow?
Its all voluntary as a rule. also you should not sell surplus food it depends on your tennency agreement most places it is against the rules.
the answers to all those questions vary according to management, different polies, contracts, etc. The one we rented when we lived in Germany technically disallowed sales of the surplus

Trey Songz is a notable person who has an allotment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.15.207.204 (talk)
== Merger proposal ==
do not merge community gardens with allotment gardening:
Why you say? Because Community Gardens and allotment gardens are not one and the same. Everyone can work in a community garden - it's a free for all, whereas allotment gardens are more about splitting up land to only be used by certain people, which is not what happens in community gardens. allotment gardening is a form of gardening in the community, but it's more exclusive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.108.78.157 (talk)
I agree, community gardening is a different concept. Allotments and community gardens can confer some of the same benefits on the community, but allotments are held usually by one or two people, and are used for food and recreational purposes first, community enrichment second. Community gardens are much more socially oriented. Miriamturley (talk)
I too say do not merge. For the same reasons as stated above. A 'community garden' may look like the gardens in UK, that are referred to as 'allotments', but the organisational structure is different.Kendo 66 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kendo 66 (talk • contribs)
Do not merge. Allotment holders have a contract to garden, whereas community gardeners do not. Also, in allotments, there is often a rule that you cannot visit other plots without permission. Gordo (talk)
Do not merge. As section 2.13 of the Allotments article shows, in the UK, allotments were introduced to enable the poor to continue to grow their own food after the Inclosure Acts deprived them of their rights on common land. In this village, part of the Inclosure Award was "the allocation of 2 acres and 10 perches (0.84 hectares approx) to the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor to be held by them and their successors in trust as an allotment for the labouring poor of the said parish.".
Community gardens are a more recent, and very different, phenomenon. Sherwin35 (talk)
Do not merge. Allotments are probably different to community gardens in that community gardens are a single shared space rather than being partitioned up and responsibilities for each allotment being more individual in nature. Two different concepts as gardens. How do we now move on and vote down this proposed merge so that the proposal of the merge can be removed from the Community Garden page header? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geekpete (talk • contribs)
Oppose - an individual allotment is not a shared community garden. Since everyone seems to agree on this, I shall close this misguided merger proposal now. Chiswick Chap (talk) | 583,203,326 | 2013-11-25T07:47:40 | Allotment (gardening) | 2,013 |

6,524,855 | A pepperpot is a type of small lighthouse found mainly in Canada.
Pepperpots are generally harbor lighthouses, and are fairly small towers. They are usually shingled in wood and painted white; the lantern and trim are red. Many such lighthouses still exist across Canada.
Pepperpot lighthouses of a slightly different design are also found in Scotland, e.g. on the Caledonian Canal

Rales → Crackles — "Rales" is strongly discouraged, and is not used by the article itself. Mikael Häggström (talk)
I'm just wondering why the article is titled "Rales" when the article specifically states that it is infrequent (except in the United States), and its usage is strongly discouraged. The article does not even use "rales;" "crackles" is used over 10 times and "rales" is only used in the context of its disuse (outside of America) and its professional discouragement. I'll wait a few days; if anyone who knows more about the subject, please comment. Otherwise I'll nominate it for a move.

4,690,987 | Jason Lee Von Flue (born August 1, 1975) is a retired mixed martial artist perhaps most notable for appearing on the second season of The Ultimate Fighter, a reality television series produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship and broadcast on Spike TV.
On episode three of the show, fighter Josh Burkman was injured and Jason came to team Hughes as a replacement fighter. Considered the underdog, he went on to get an upset win in his first fight against Jorge Gurgel. Despite his performance, he was given to team Franklin when Hughes was forced to give up one of his members to the other team. He faced former teammate Joe Stevenson in the semifinals, losing due to an armbar submission. After his performance on the show, he was signed to a UFC contract.
In his first match since the show, at Ultimate Fight Night 3 he defeated season one The Ultimate Fighter contestant Alex Karalexis via technical submission, as Karalexis was rendered unconscious by a shoulder choke from side control. In his second UFC match at Ultimate Fight Night 4, he was defeated by fellow TUF 2 contestant Luke Cummo via decision. More recently, Von Flue lost by submission to Joe Riggs at UFC Fight Night. Following a win over Eric Wray in October, Von Flue lost to Cung Le due to a cut at Strikeforce: Triple Threat on December 8, 2006. Von Flue's last loss was to Kyle Pimentel who he has recently defeated by knockout. After his win against Steve Ramerez at Pure Combat he proposed to his girlfriend.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Gtamarketing, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it represents GTA Marketing Agency rather than an individual. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Fæ (talk)
==Speedy deletion nomination of Gtamarketing==
A tag has been placed on Gtamarketing, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Cassandra 73 (talk)
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

8,072,463 | Nathaniel P. Wilkerson (born 1972) is a Canadian artist from the Gitksan First Nation in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. He is a member of the House of Amagyet, a Laxgibuu (Wolf clan) house.
He studied the Haida art style, both drawing and carving under the tutelage of Freda Diesing from 1984 to 1985 at Terrace, B.C. One of these earliest pieces is permanently featured at the International Museum of Children's Art in Oslo, Norway.
His work is reminiscent of the more traditional Haida/Gitksan style of artwork with heavy form lines and highly curvilinear elements. Most of his work follows the conventional, traditional style of the artwork, although it consistently offers a new perspective of common native themes.
He is working with serigraph, copper, leather and wood (alder, red and yellow cedar).

4,690,988 | ==Was William the sixth or seventh son of Randle?==
My source for sixth son was the lecture on William Brereton and the Pork Barrel: Travails of Political Ascendancy given by the historian Prof.E.W. Ives. Ives is a greath authority on these times. I have also quoted freely from his book about Anne Boleyn given in the article references.
Mcginnly has pointed out to me a web page which gives William Brereton as the seventh son, e.g. at the web site of a person called Craig Thornber. This web page gives 3 references as follows which should be checked:
1. The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester, incorporated with a republication of King's Vale Royal and Leycester's Cheshire Antiquities, 2nd Ed., revised and enlarged by Thomas Helsby, Esq., published by George Routledge and sons, Ludgate Hill, London, 1882. This is now available from the Family History Society of Cheshire on CD ROM. A reprint of the work was published by Eric Morten of Didsbury.
2. Burke's Peerage, 106th edition, 2003.
3. The House of Commons 1509-1558, by S. T. Bindoff, Secker and Warburg, London, 1982. This has an article on Sir Hugh Cholmondeley the elder.
Some work is needed to investigate this, which I will do on my next library visit! -- Op. Deo | 410,736,827 | 2011-01-29T10:55:00 | William Brereton (courtier) | 2,013 |

28,290,828 | Walter Butler of Nodstown (or Ballynenoddagh or Moyaliffe), (died 1560) was the fourth son of James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond and Lady Joan Fitzgerald. Nodstown is a townland in the civil parish of Ardmayle in the barony of Middle Third, South Tipperary. Moyaliff is a townland and a civil parish in the barony of Kilnamanagh Upper, South Tipperary.
==Marriage and issue==
He was married to Anne, daughter of MacBrien O'Gonagh. Their children were:
Pierce Butler, of Nodstown. He was only two years old at his father's death. He married Ellen, daughter of Thomas Purcell, Baron Loughmoe. He died on 21 February 1627 and was buried in nearby Holycross Abbey. They had a son, and two daughters:
Joan Butler, who married John O'Dwyer of Dundrum, South Tipperary (who died in January 1627). Their children were:
Ellice or Elizabeth Butler, who first married John Sherlock of Mothe, County Waterford. They had a son Patrick and other children. Her first husband died 25 May 1587. She secondly married Sir Edward Gough, by whom she had a son and a daughter. Thirdly she married Sir Laurence Esmonde, who was created Baron Esmonde of Lymbrick, County Wexford on 20 May 1622.
==Moyaliffe Castle==
While this was a Butler castle, it was in the possession of the O'Dwyer clan by 1654 as evidenced by the Civil Survey of that year. While the Butlers had been in occupation, it had been under constant attack by the O'Dwyers and their neighbours, the Ryans. An record of 1500 AD records that Sir Pierce Butler was in possession of the castle and lands of Moyaliffe when a serious territorial quarrel broke out with Turlough O'Brien of the O'Brien dynasty of Thomond, (with whom the O'Dwyers were traditionally allied). The fight reached its climax when Moyaliffe Castle was surrounded by the O'Briens. The Butlers immediately sent reinforcements from their main stronghold of Kilkenny under the leadership of Robert Shea, to relieve their besieged brethren. A desperate battle ensued which resulted in the complete defeat of the Butlers and the fall of Moyaliffe on Aug 6th, 1500.

4,690,989 | This says "largest electoral district in the world." That's no doubt true in the way we normally think of things, but it's come to my attention that, for example, the Italian parliament has seats for Italian nationals living abroad, with the districts they represent encompassing entire continents. Do we reword or is this too nitpicky? - Montréalais
Is it true to say that this is the largest electorate in the world electing a single member to a legislative body? If you include multi-member electorates, then Western Australia in the Senate is bigger. Is Sakha in Russia and the Overseas electorate in the Italian Senate like this?
Still need an authoritative source for the two statements that DoK is largest and Nunavut (electoral district) is second. Otherwise, it's just "the largest that Wikipedia editors were able to find". Also see Kalgoorlie.
Well, it shouldn't be impossible to ascertain this. The Division of Kalgoorlie is larger than all but 12 countries in the world, one of which is Australia itself. We also know that the DoK is larger than Nunavut (Canada's largest constituency) and Alaska (the largest district in the United States House of Representatives). The Italian overseas constituency should probably be disqualified because it's not a single-member district. On the other hand, Sakha might be a single-member constituency; someone more familiar with Russian politics may be needed to help with this.
Also, Kalgoorlie looks set to shrink to become fourth or fifth largest in Australia with a proposed O'Connor picking up most of its slack and becoming Australia's HoR's largest at a "mere" 1 587 759 km². Obviously this needs to be made official and even then I don't know whether the new boundaries take effect instantly in some sense or if they wait till the next election. —Felix the Cassowary
Indeed. Even more curiously, it makes O'Connor, the safest Coalition seat in Western Australia, winnable for Labor. Orderinchaos
Looks like Kalgoorlie will be abolished and replaced by Durack. Also redistributions take effect at general elections and by-elections, such as the Canberra by-election, 1995, occur on old boundaries, although it was popularly known as the Namadgi by-election.--Grahame (talk) | 251,538,892 | 2008-11-13T11:35:45 | Division of Kalgoorlie | 2,013 |

== Highland Council page ==
Wow. Devite, much thanks for changing those results boxes, that's not an easy task! I c+p'd the 2008 article across so just left things 'as were' other than candidates. doktorb wordsdeeds
Thanks, I just felt that the pages should all look like Aberdeenshire and Perth and Kinross as we will have data about counts. By the way do you post on the Vote UK Discussion Forum in the Scottish section? I posted there as Irishobserver. Would you have a look at the Moray page for 2012 local elections. It is not showing up on the main Scottish Local Elections, 2012 page for some reason despite being in the Politics of Moray. It doesn't seem to be linked in properly. Devite (talk)
== Council election results ==
Hi - I see that you've changed the summary of results on the East Dunbartonshire Council election, 2012 article (and possibly others) to reflect the 2007 result, rather than the standings following by-elections. Could you explain the rationale for this - the media have generally reported the "overnight" change in seats, rather than the change since the last full election. I'm not saying you've done something wrong, just different, and we may need to explain any differences between the article and published results (by putting an explanation in the article) if we're using a different comparison process. An example might be:
This table uses the 2007 election as a baseline as this is the last full data set for comparison. Tables of election-night changes published elsewhere may differ if by-election results are included in the baseline.
Wikiwayman (talk)
- Hi, in advance of the local elections I was updating the 2007 elections pages to ensure that all by-elections were recorded and, as best as possible, that all resignations from parties were noted also. However, I still feel that in comparing how a party(ies) have performed in an election compared to a previous one that the last comparable result should be used i.e 2007. The 2007 page of each council will (hopefully) accurately inform the reader of how the internal dynamics of that council changed between 2007 and 2012. I have been trying to have a consistent approach for the other councils I have done to date. That's the sole reason I edited the summary of results table you had written. I'm happy to debate this further with others. Devite (talk)
I think that the approach you've taken is probably the best one from a statistical point of view and also for consistency. My concern was more with fact-checkers who may compare the table in the article with this one at the BBC News website. Wikipedia has an undeserved popular reputation for not being accurate, while the BBC is undoubtedly reputable, so my suggestion was simply posed to explain the differences. All that would be required is to cut-and-paste the line into each article, but before I do that, I'm keen on getting consensus as you've put a lot of good work in and I don't necessarily know why everything is the way it is. Wikiwayman (talk)
My background is in statistics and so thats partly why I approached it in this fashion. I agree consistency is important but again feel free to broaden out the discussion to other other users if you want. I was surprised the BBC adopted that approached. In Ireland, for example, while people might defect to different parties between an election the last comparable result would be compared with the most recent one both at local and at national level. Devite (talk)
Can we agree to combine our thoughts - i.e., we'll use your statistical basis, but add my explanatory note? I'm happy to do the editing. Wikiwayman (talk)
I would agree to that. Devite (talk)

6,524,865 | La Gota Fría (English: The Cold Sweat) is a 1938 Colombian Vallenato song, known and respected in Colombia and many other countries. It was composed by Emiliano Zuleta. It has been proposed as an unofficial Colombian anthem. The song emerged from a musical controversy with Lorenzo Morales. Many artists had covered the song include Carlos Vives, Grupo Niche, Ray Conniff, Gran Pachanga, Los Joao, La Sonora Dinamita, Julio Iglesias, Tulio Zuloaga, and Alfredo Gutiérrez.
==Carlos Vives version==
In 1994, Colombian vallenato performer Carlos Vives covered the song on his album, Clásicos de la Provincia. The song became a top-ten hit on the on Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart and peaked at number-six. The song received a Lo Nuestro award for "Tropical Song of the Year".
===Background and composition===
Before Clásicos de la Provincia, Vives was not considered a famous Colombian singer on the international stage. He began his career as a soap opera star in such telenovelas. Then tried his hand in a dual career as both television star and romantic balladeer. While he gained domestic attention through his first few albums in the late 1980s, his synth-pop style did little to differentiate himself from other musical artists of the era. It took a few years for Vives to find inspiration out of the limelight in Bogotá and back to his roots in Santa Marta.
In 1991, when Carlos was approached to play the part of Rafael Escalona in the biographical film Escalona (1991), it would not only be a star-turning role for the rising actor, but the beginning of Carlos's musical breakthrough. Playing the famous musician, Carlos used his own musical talents to reinterpret Escalona's music, embedded in the traditional Colombian style of music known as Vallenato. With vallenato being the musical style of Colombia's northern coast, the location of Carlos's Santa Marta birthplace, Vives found success embracing his hometown roots. While vallenato was a musical style that had slowly lost popularity with Colombia's younger generation, Escalona would inspire Carlos to fuse the vallenato with modern rock, a sound that would break Carlos not only in his own Colombian homeland, but the entire Latin American music market.
With Carlos's backing band, La Provincia, Carlos took a cue from his successful interpretations of Rafael Escalona, and decided to delve deeper into the famous artists of Colombia's vallenato past. The result would be Carlos's first true breakthrough hit Clásicos de la Provincia, in 1993 (1994 internationally). As the title implies, the album consists of Colombia's vallenato standards, not only popular during its time, but in a new rock style, nearly turning the songs into new compositions. For example, the album opener "La Gota Fria", when compared to the original by Emiliano Zuleta, sounds like two distinct songs, if one were to ignore song lyrics.
===Reception===
Upon its release, "La Gota Fría" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who recognized it as one of the best track from Clásicos de la Provincia. Carlos Quintana of About.com wrote about the song that "this song took Colombia, and later the world, by storm. The feeling inside of it represents in a perfect way the festive spirit of Colombian people", and named it as ideal track for any Latin party. Also was placed it among his personal list of the Best Vallenatos in History, ranking the first place in a top ten. Janet Rosen from Allmusic praised the song because is different between the other song of the album and expressed "a witty tune that was a major hit for Vives", going on to select the song as one of the best tracks of the album.
"La Gota Fría" became Vives' second recording to attain commercial success. The song peaked at numbers 6 and 14 on the Billboard Latin Songs and Latin Pop Songs component charts. The song was winner as Tropical Song of the Year at the 1995 Lo Nuestro Awards. In Chile the song was certified Platinum for sell over 25,000 copies.
===Music video===
The music video for "La Gota Fría" was shot in the Romelio Martínez Stadium in Barranquilla, and Pescaíto (a popular neighborhood of his native Santa Marta), the two locations are ubicated in Colombia. On December 7, 1993, Vives offered a concert in Barranquilla, the event was very special because it was goingo to film the music video for "La Gota Fría", had many films cameras, dollies and clapperboards (with the participation of group of video from RCN TV). At the 4:00 am the next day, La Provincia and Carlos Vives, left Barranquilla because need shot some scenes of the music video, in Santa Marta. The video of the songs, starts with Carlos singing live the song with La Provincia, during the video shows scenes of the band members play their instrument. There are other scenes that show the public and other that show Carlos Vives playing football in the beach, a little, a drop falling in water, a cactus and other images.

28,290,834 | "Africa", also titled "Africa (Voodoo Master)", is a 1982 song recorded by French singer Rose Laurens. It was one of the singles from her second album Déraisonnable and was released in 1982 in France, and in March 1983 elsewhere. The version available on the 7" is shorter than on the album, as the musical bridge is shortened and there are fewer refrains. It immediately became a smash hit in many countries, reaching the top of the charts. In 1994, a CD maxi of remixes was released, but failed to chart.
In 1993, the song was covered by Powerzone, who released its version as CD maxi and peaked at number 18 in Switzerland and remained in the top 40 for five weeks.
==Chart performances==
The single was a commercial success, reaching the top one in Austria, and remained for 16 weeks in the top twenty. In Norway, the single charted for 15 weeks in the top ten, including a peak at number two for two weeks. The song appeared for ten weeks in the top 15 in Switzerland, with a peak at number two. In Germany, "Africa" charted for 23 weeks and peaked at number three in its fourth week.
In France, there was no official singles chart then, but it reached Platinum status with a million copies sold.

17,981,762 | Stock market cycles are the long-term price patterns of the stock market.
==Description==
There are many types of business cycles including those that impact the stock market.
In his book The Next Great Bubble Boom, Guna, a Harvard graduate and Fortune 100 consultant, outlines several cycles that have specific relevance to the stock market. Some of these cycles have been quantitatively examined for statistical significance.
The major cycles of the stock market include:
The four-year presidential cycle in the USA.
Annual seasonality, also known as Sell in May or the Halloween indicator
The "January effect"
The lunar cycle
The 17.6 Year Stock Market Cycle
Investment advisor Mark Hulbert has tracked the long term performance of Norman Fosback’s a Seasonality Timing System that combines month-end and holiday-based buy/sell rules. According to Hulbert, this system has been able to outperform the market with significantly less risk.
According to Stan Weinstein there are four stages in a major cycle of stocks, stock sectors or the stock market as a whole. These four stages are (1) consolidation or base building (2) upward advancement (3) culmination (4) decline.
==Longer term cycles: Cyclical, Secular and Kondratiev==
Cyclical cycles generally last 4 years, with bull and bear market phases lasting 1–3 years, while Secular cycles last about 30 years with bull and bear market phases lasting 10–20 years. It is generally accepted that in early 2011 the US stock market is in a cyclical bull phase as it has been moving up for a number of years. It is also generally accepted that it is in a secular bear phase as it has been stagnant since the stock market peak in 2000. The longer term Kondratiev cycles are two Secular cycles in length and last roughly 60 years. The end of the Kondratiev cycle is accompanied by economic troubles, such as the original Great Depression of the 1870s, the Great Depression of the 1930s and the current Great Recession.
==Theory==
The four-year U.S. presidential cycle is attributed to politics and its impact on America's economic policies and market sentiment. Either or both of these factors could be the cause for the stock market's statistically improved performance during most of the third and fourth years of a president's four-year term.
The month-end seasonality cycle is attributed to the automatic purchases associated with retirement accounts.
The secular stock market cycles that last about 30 years move in lockstep with corresponding secular economic, social, and political cycles in the US.
==Compound cycles==
The presence of multiple cycles of different periods and magnitudes in conjunction with linear trends, can give rise to complex patterns, that are mathematically generated through Fourier analysis.
In order for an investor to more easily visualise a longer term cycle (or a trend), he sometimes will superimpose a shorter term cycle such as a moving average on top of it.
A common view of a stock market pattern is one that involves a specific time-frame (for example a 6-month chart with daily price intervals). In this kind of a chart one may create and observe any of the following trends or trend relationships:
A long term trend, which may appear as linear
Intermediate term trends and their relationship to the long term trend
Random price movements or consolidation (sometimes referred to as 'noise') and its relationship to one of the above
For example, if one looks at a longer time-frame (perhaps a 2-year chart with weekly price intervals), the current trend may appear as a part of a larger cycle (primary trend). Switching to a shorter time-frame (such as a 10-day chart using 60-minute price intervals), may reveal price movements that appear as shorter term trends in contrast to the primary trend on the six month, daily time period, chart.
==Use of multiple screens==
A stock market trader will often use several "screens" or charts on their computer with different time frames and price intervals in order to gain valuable information for making profitable buying and selling (trading) decisions.
Often expert traders will emphasize the use of multiple time frames for successful trading. For example, Alexander Elder suggests a Triple Screen approach.
Longer-term screen: To identify the long-term trend and opportunities
Middle screen: To identify the best day(s) on which to locate a buy or sell opportunity
Finer screen: To identify the optimum intra-day price at which to buy or sell a given security
==Technical indicators==
The 'technical analysis' approach to investing is based on cycles or repeating price patterns. Some of the technical indicators used to measure and project patterns include oscillators, moving averages, and candlestick charts.
Oscillators: These illustrate the price and volume cycles thereby allowing the investor/trader to identify relevant peaks and valleys within the trend itself.
Moving Averages: There are many types of moving average indicators for example the exponential moving average show a slightly different version of the price trends by smoothing out the short term fluctuations.
Candlestick charts: This is a specialized type of price chart that provides different information about price activity than the standard "mountain" style chart.

===Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) Diffusion Index===
The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) Diffusion Index is a macroeconomic model of Business Cycle Models. “CFNAI Diffusion Index signals the beginnings and ends of recessions on average one month earlier than the CFNAI-MA3.” … the crossing of a -0.35 threshold by the CFNAI Diffusion Index signaled an increased likelihood of the beginning (from above) and end of a recession (from below).,.
===Chicago Fed National Activity Index, Moving Average of 3 months (CFNAI-MA3)===
When the CFNAI-MA3 index falls below (–0.7) historically indicating the economy has entered a recession.
THE CFNAI-MA3 TRACKS ECONOMIC EXPANSIONS AND CONTRACTIONS
The CFNAI is a coincident indicator of economic expansions and contractions. To highlight this fact, it is best to focus on the CFNAI-MA3.
In each of the seven recessions, the CFNAI-MA3 fell below -0.7 … near the onset of the recession.
… after the onset of a recession, when the index first crosses +0.2, the likelihood that the recession has ended according to the NBER business cycle measures is significant.
… we have found the crossing of the -0.7 threshold at least six months after a recession's trough to be a more reliable indicator of an increasing likelihood of an end of a recession.
… the crossing of a -0.35 threshold by the CFNAI Diffusion Index signaled an increased likelihood of the beginning (from above) and end of a recession (from below).

===Aruoba-Diebold-Scotti Business Conditions Index (ADS Index)===
Aruoba-Diebold-Scotti Business Conditions Index (ADS Index) is published by the The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. The average value of the ADS index is zero. Progressively bigger positive values indicate progressively better-than-average conditions, whereas progressively more negative values indicate progressively worse-than-average conditions.

===BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research, GLOBALcycle===
The GLOBALcycle is a real-time indicator of economic activity. The indicator optimally extracts a common factor across data frequencies. Weekly asset-price information, as well as monthly and quarterly hard data feed the indicator. It is based on the ADS
index developed at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
==Federal Reserve Bank of New York==
===Consumer Confidence, Conference Board’s Present Situation Index===
Major turns in the Conference Board’s Present Situation Index tend to precede corresponding turns in the unemployment rate—particularly at business cycle peaks (that is, going into recessions). Major upturns in the index also tend to foreshadow cyclical peaks in the unemployment rate, which often occur well after the end of a recession. Another useful feature of the index that can be gleaned from the charts is its ability to signal sustained downturns in payroll employment. Whenever the year-over-year change in this index has turned negative by more than 15 points, the economy has entered into a recession.

10,390,162 | The Jay Leno Show is an American comedy show created by and starring Jay Leno, that aired at 10 p.m. from September 14, 2009, to February 9, 2010, on NBC, after Leno's initial retirement from hosting The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In January 2010, NBC announced that due to affiliate concerns about its effect on their newscasts, The Jay Leno Show would be shortened to 30 minutes and moved from primetime to 11:35 p.m., the timeslot that had been occupied by The Tonight Show for nearly 60 years.
The Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien released a public statement saying that he would not participate in moving Tonight to 12:05 a.m., asserting that it would damage the highly respected franchise. Despite much support for O'Brien from both the public and media professionals alike NBC maintained its plan to move Leno to 11:35. On January 21, 2010, NBC reached a $45 million settlement with O'Brien in order to end his contract. Leno resumed his duties as host of Tonight on March 1, 2010. Leno ended on February 9, 2010, after being on the air for only four months, with Entertainment Weekly calling the program television's "Biggest Bomb of All Time."
==History==
NBC announced in 2004 that Leno would leave Tonight in 2009, with Conan O'Brien as his replacement. Leno—who wanted to avoid an acrimonious transition like what he experienced when he inherited Tonight from Johnny Carson—said at the announcement, "You can do these things until they carry you out on a stretcher, or you can get out when you’re still doing good." He began to regret his decision to retire in 2007, and several networks and studios including ABC, Fox, Sony, and Tribune expressed interest in his services after leaving Tonight.
Jeff Zucker, then-President and CEO of NBC Universal, sought to keep Leno from defecting to a competitor. Leno rejected several NBC offers for free network daytime slots, or cable TV slots, a series of recurring specials, and a half-hour show at 8 pm five nights a week featuring Leno's Tonight monologue. The network had in 1981 considered moving The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson to 10 pm; Zucker, who in 2007 offered Oprah Winfrey an hour five nights a week at 8 pm, now offered Leno an hour five nights a week at 10 pm. Leno was announced on December 9, 2008.
At least one station, WHDH-TV in Boston, Massachusetts, stated that it would not carry the program, claiming that Leno would be detrimental to the station's 11 pm news and that it would instead launch a local news program in the time slot. NBC said that such plans would amount to a flagrant violation of the network contract—a claim which WHDH disputed—and said that it would immediately remove its programming from WHDH if the station followed through with the plan. WHDH backed down on April 13, 2009, and announced that it would air Leno instead of the proposed program.
Though Leno was the first to move the entire five-day-a-week late night talk show to prime time, he was not the first Tonight alumnus to move from late night to a prime time talk show. Steve Allen hosted The Tonight Show from 1954 to 1957; while still hosting that show, he began hosting the prime-time The Steve Allen Show in 1956, and the latter show would run until 1960. Jack Paar, who hosted Tonight from 1957 to 1962, next hosted a weekly talk show known as The Jack Paar Program that ran until 1965.
In January 2010, several news outlets reported that The Jay Leno Show would be shortened to 30 minutes and begin airing weeknights at 11:35 pm ET, with Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Fallon's shows following it beginning at 12:05 am. The scheduling change would have been implemented on February 28 after the 2010 Winter Olympics (which preempted much of NBC's primetime and late-night lineup for its duration). Leno himself commented on the rumors during his January 7 monologue, joking that NBC stands for "Never Believe your Contract." According to Broadcasting & Cable, "most are hopeful Jay—and Conan—sticks with NBC, and most, if not all, desperately want to see a change in terms of the lead-in they're getting to their lucrative late news; the affiliates "remain fiercely loyal to Leno and were quick to say the rookie program's struggles don't reflect the funnyman's work ethic or comedic chops. 'This isn't about Jay's popularity,' says WJAR Providence VP/General Manager Lisa Churchville. 'This is about having that kind of show at 10 p.m.'"
NBC announced plans to move Leno to 11:35 pm and The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien to 12:05 am. O'Brien refused to participate in the move and, on January 21, 2010, reached an agreement with NBC allowing him to leave the network. Lenos final episode aired on February 9, 2010 and Leno returned to Tonight as host on March 1, 2010.
==Content==
The Jay Leno Show aired weeknights at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT (9:00 p.m. CT/MT) from Studio 11 of the NBC Studios in Burbank, California with the following format:
After brief opening credits, a monologue of eight to 12 minutes.
One celebrity guest, two at the most. The "car-themed" set adjusted to allow guests to get off the couch and participate in antics.
Musical segments appeared only twice a week, in the middle of the show, and sometimes featured multiple acts performing together.
Comedy segments were reserved for the last 15 minutes of the show, the only portion of the show where Leno sometimes used a desk. Toward the end of the four-month run certain comedy segments such as "Headlines" were moved up to airing right after Jay's monologue, as opposed to being reserved for the end of the show. They include:
One planned segment, "Stories Not Good Enough for the NBC Nightly News" (which would have featured NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams), was dropped from the show before it made it to air.
In addition to reserving comedy segments for the end, the network aired no commercials after the show and "urged local affiliates to do the same" so local news could start immediately, retaining as many Leno viewers as possible.
===Recurring segments===
"Headlines" (Monday): Humorous print items sent in by viewers. These real-life headlines are usually headlines with typographical errors, or unintentionally inappropriate items. The segment usually starts out with a fake, humorous headline during the introduction for the segment.
"Jaywalking": A pre-taped segment, "Jaywalking" is a play on the host's name and the illegal practice of jaywalking. Leno asks people questions about current news and other topics in public areas around Los Angeles (usually Hollywood Boulevard, Melrose Avenue or Universal Studios). Most responses are outrageously incorrect; for example, one person believed that Abraham Lincoln was the first president, and another could not identify a picture of Hillary Clinton. Sometimes the questions are of the "What color is the White House?" level, such as asking in what country the Panama Canal is located. Up to 15 people are interviewed in an hour or less for each segment, with about nine interviews used on the air.
JMZ: A parody of TMZ, a segment in which they report on fake celebrity news with such guest stars as Chuck Liddell.
Ten@Ten: Jay interviews a celebrity via satellite by asking them 10 questions. Some editions have only used 9 questions, calling it the "Nine@Nine" as a reference to the central or mountain time zone.
Green Car Challenge: A segment in which celebrities go in a car and try to be the fastest in a track with obstacles. Tim Allen is in the lead; Rush Limbaugh has the record worst time (though he did so on purpose), and Leno never tried.
Photo Booth: A pre-taped segment in which someone goes in a Photo Booth and something is amiss.
Stuff We Found on eBay: Leno brought up some of the oddest stuff that he and members of the studio audience had supposedly found while searching on eBay.
Ross the Intern: Ross Mathews, an intern for the show, is sent to participate in special events. As part of a running gag, Leno started introducing Ross as his illegitimate son.
===First show===
Jerry Seinfeld was the celebrity guest on the debut episode. Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye West performed "Run This Town", in which all three are featured. West sat down for a previously unplanned interview with Leno, discussing West's outburst at the MTV Video Music Awards the previous night. Dan Finnerty was the comic correspondent for the night, and the end of the show featured Headlines.
Reviews for the first show ranged from neutral to negative, with most critics stating that the show was, despite the changes, still very similar to Tonight. Metacritic scores it at 48 out of 100 based on 23 TV critic reviews, and viewers scoring it at a 4.0 out of 10. Media Life described the show as "underwhelming" and felt that Leno "failed to rise to the occasion." The Buffalo News called the show "a mess." The Associated Press noted that "it's not a good sign when the Bud Light commercial is funnier than the comedy show it interrupts," and that "at least Rosie Live took some chances." Jonah Krakow of IGN gave it a 5.5/10 saying that "show felt like they just picked from where they left off three months ago, and I'm not sure that's a good thing".
===Final show===
The final Jay Leno Show aired on February 9, 2010. The guests were Ashton Kutcher, Gabourey Sidibe and Bob Costas, with unannounced visits from Donald Trump and Kurt Warner. Following the monologue, there was a brief clip reel of highlights from the show's short tenure; otherwise, little mention was made about the fact that it was the final episode of the program. The last moments of the show featured the program's "10 at 10" segment, with its celebrity guest being Bob Costas. When Leno asked Costas how it felt to be the show's final guest, the sportscaster replied, "Kind of like being involved in the last game of a Clippers season, isn't it?" Directly following the interview with Costas, Leno thanked him, told the audience to stay tuned for their local news, and then abruptly went off-air.
Many media outlets criticized Leno's apparent lack of ceremony for the end of his program. Variety reported that the lack of fanfare was intentional, as NBC is attempting to rehab the reputation of Leno and The Tonight Show and did not desire to bring any further attention to Leno's transition back to Tonight. The Associated Press noted that the last few weeks of the program, including the final episode, were pervaded by "bad vibes." The Boston Globe wrote that Leno said farewell to his short-lived show "with all the momentousness of a guy taking out the trash." The episode received negative reviews from Entertainment Weekly, the Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal. By comparison, O'Brien's final Tonight Show was treated as a finale, with guests making reference to the show ending and guest Neil Young taking an ironic tone by performing "Long May You Run".

Nominator(s): Imzadi 1979 →
I am nominating this for featured article because I think the article comes very close to meeting the criteria. This is an article about a highway that's not really a highway. It is really a collection of streets downtown Lansing, Michigan, US that masquerades as a highway because that's what its parents call it. The parents decide to conceive this controversial child in 1986, but didn't manage the feat until 1989. This child was caught in the middle of controversies at the beginning. The two parents wanted to give it reconstructive plastic surgery for its 15th birthday, but others disapproved. These others almost stopped the procedure dead in its tracks, but relented when the process was scaled back. Recently, this child seems to be a bit of a speed demon, with issues surrounding speeding tickets. Hopefully you'll enjoy the article as much as I have, and suggest or make any necessary minor improvements to polish the article off. Imzadi 1979 →
Sources comment: All sources look OK, no issues arising Brianboulton (talk)
Comment - The lead looks a little long, could a couple of sentences be cut out of it? Other than that, I would be willing to support this article. Dough4872

Alt text isn't compulsory anymore, but simply saying "looking east/west" "X building" isn't going to help a blind person who needs to have the actual literal colour, shape etc described to them YellowMonkey (vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll)
I was under the impression that alt text supposed to be kept brief without long descriptions, which are best left for the body of the article. The samples given at ALT indicate that "A basketball player" or "Tony Blair shakes hands with George W. Bush" based on the purpose of the photo. Any suggestions are appreciated, but the old method of full descriptions of every element of an image aren't correct anymore. Imzadi 1979 →
Sorry I stand corrected YellowMonkey (vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll)
Support Comment - looks fine. nothing stands out as improvable, maybe ther are tweaks here and there with the prose but no deal-breakers as such. beginning a look-over now. I'll jot queries below: Casliber (talk · contribs)
... has notated it.. - " has designated it" ? The former sounds unsual and I suspect you mean the latter (?)
Yes, but aren't the labels on a map "notations"? I've switch to "labeled" for now. Imzadi 1979 →
okay. Casliber (talk · contribs)
each three-lanes wide - the hyphen looks odd to me here. I'd leave it out...unless there is some roadmap convention I am missing.
I think that's an artifact from a previous copy-edit. Either way, the hyphen is gone. Imzadi 1979 →
Comments Support –
Route description: "The two highway designations merge and run run concurrently...". See the problem? :-)
Proposal and creation: "with the boundaries of Ottawa, Allegan, Logan streets...". When I read this, it feels like there should be an "and" in the list of streets (after Allegan).
Street name changes: Pretty sure reference 17 should be after the parentheses. The normal rule of thumb is to put cites after punctuation; the only time I know of when the opposite applies is with dashes. Giants2008 (27 and counting)

Nice catch. Fixed.
"Ottawa, Allegan, Logan streets and the vacated section of Sycamore Street" so you think it should be "Ottawa, Allegan and Logan streets and the vacated section of Sycamore Street". That sounds like one too many ands to me. Any suggestions on how to recraft it? The only thing I can think of doing would be: "Ottawa, Allegan, Logan and Sycamore streets". How do I indicate the vacated status of Sycamore though? I got a suggestion from a friend on how to fix this.
Normally I would agree, but in this case, ref 17 is only for the inflation-adjusted number, while refs 16 and 18 are for the whole sentence, original dollar value and all.
Thanks for the comments! Imzadi 1979 →

Image review
Most images check out; Michigan-Capitol-2005.jpg appears to be in good order, but could use an template.
Capitol Loop map.png is claimed PD, but the source of the underlying map is not given, and I doubt the editor drew it him/herself.
All done, and actually using GIS data your average editor with those skills can draw maps himself. Imzadi 1979 →
It does need to be clear that that is what was done, as opposed to (for example) scanning or copying a base map from a copyrighted source. Magic♪piano

Comments
"The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has labeled it as Capitol Loop I-496 or CL I-496 on some maps, similar to that of an Interstate Highway business loop." - not quite getting the connection here.
The third paragraph of the lead seems a bit too detailed on first glance.
2.3 - The city did not kill the project outright and risk losing the investment in the downtown infrastructure. - rephrase? The parallel structure here just seems a bit strange.
2.4 - MDOT moved work on Allegan Street that was originally scheduled for 2005. - moved... ?
2.5 - "What's happening is streets are artificially posted too low for the purpose of writing tickets," according to Jones. - bad sentence structure.
Should be a support after these issues are fixed.
Some copy edits have been made. Let me know if they address these comments. Imzadi 1979 →

4,690,992 | Michael Alan Gothard (24 June 19392 December 1992) was an English actor, best remembered for his role as Kai in the television series Arthur of the Britons and as the mysterious villain Emile Leopold Locque in the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only.
==Early life==
Michael Gothard was born in London in 1939. As a small child, he lived in both Wales and London. After leaving Haverstock School, he travelled in France for several months before returning home to live with his parents and grandmother.He went through various jobs, including being a building labourer and a trainee reporter. He even had a brief spell as a clothes' model, but he never felt comfortable doing that job. He said: "I was as stiff as a board and I couldn’t overcome my sense of the ridiculous. I was a clothes hanger, an object, not a person." However he'd long been interested in acting - even at school - and so, encouraged by his very supportive family, he decided to give acting a go.
==Career==
He joined the New Arts Theatre as a scenery mover, and became part of an amateur film a friend was making. After landing the lead role, he was encouraged to take up the profession. He attended evening classes at an actors' workshop whilst holding down a day job. He was involved working in some of the first "Lunchtime theatre" productions in the 1960s, from pub cellars to top floor spaces off St. Martin's Lane. His first television role was in an episode of Out of the Unknown in 1966 called "The Machine Stops". He was then cast in Don Levy's film Herostratus in 1967 and Up the Junction in 1968. He then acquired a female following after taking a role as the villainous Mordaunt in the BBC's adaptation of Twenty Years After (Further Adventures of the Musketeers).
His performance as the nightclubbing killer Keith in Scream and Scream Again, directed by Gordon Hessler (Alfred Hitchcock's protégé), was a break-out role for him, giving him exposure and leading to other, more prominent parts. In the film, Keith makes one of the most memorable escapes from the police ever seen. The film also starred Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Executive producer Louis M. Heyward said of Gothard's performance: "I felt that Michael Gothard was going to be the biggest thing that ever happened. He had that insane look and that drive, and he was wonderful. Here is a kid who really threw himself into the picture wholeheartedly. Do you remember the scene where he appears to be walking up the cliff? That's a stunt that, as an actor, I would not have agreed to; I’d say, 'Hey, get a double or get a dummy. I ain't either one.' But the kid agreed to do it, without a double—-he was that driven. He had a lot of class and a lot of style. Gordon (Hessler) came up with the idea of using an overhead cable to give that illusion of his walking up the cliff."
One of his most notable film appearances in the wake of his growing visibility as an actor was Ken Russell's 1971 horror film, The Devils, in which Gothard had a stand-out role as a fanatic witch-hunter and exorcist who defiles Vanessa Redgrave and tortures Oliver Reed. His performance as a young disillusioned hippie in Barbet Schroeder's La Vallée (1972) contrasted with the rest of his career. He also played a fictionalised version of the 17th century assassin John Felton in Richard Lester's 1973 film of The Three Musketeers and its 1974 sequel, The Four Musketeers. In both films Oliver Reed also appeared.
He had a regular role as Kai opposite Oliver Tobias's Arthur on the aforementioned Arthur of the Britons during the early 1970s. During filming of the series, he was living with family in Gloucestershire. They have very fond memories of that time. He became known to a wider cinema audience for his menacing turn as the villainous (and non-speaking) Belgian henchman, Emile Leopold Locque, in the 1981 James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only. Gothard was actually the one who suggested Locque's signature octagonal glasses in an effort to make the character more menacing. His later appearances included supporting roles in Tobe Hooper's 1985 science-fiction horror extravaganza, Lifeforce, and as George Lusk in the 1988 TV movie, Jack the Ripper, with Michael Caine. He appeared with Dean Stockwell and Shirley Knight in a Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense (a.k.a. Fox Mystery Theatre) episode, The Sweet Scent of Death. His last few roles were in The Discovery in 1992, where he briefly acted opposite Marlon Brando. It was directed by his For Your Eyes Only director John Glen, but was a box office failure.
Glen had actually cast Gothard in the role beneath Brando with the intention of moving Gothard into the role of Tomás de Torquemada, Brando's character, in case Brando did not show up for filming. Brando did indeed miss the first day of filming, and Gothard took over this role for the day's shooting. However, Tom Selleck told the director that without Brando, he would quit the film. Word apparently got out, for Brando was on the set the next day, and assumed the role of Torquemada, with Glen reshooting the scene. Glen described Gothard as "a very good" and "captivating" actor, as well as a friend.
His final role was in David Wickes's Frankenstein, starring Patrick Bergin and Randy Quaid.
