Hebron Church (Intermont, West Virginia)

Hebron Church (also historically known as Great Capon Church, Hebron Lutheran Church, and Hebron Evangelical Lutheran Church) is a mid-19th-century Lutheran church in Intermont, Hampshire County, in the U.S. state of West Virginia. Hebron Church was founded in 1786 by German settlers in the Cacapon River Valley, making it the first Lutheran church west of the Shenandoah Valley. The congregation worshiped in a log church, which initially served both Lutheran and Reformed denominations. Its congregation was originally German-speaking; the church's documents and religious services were in German until 1821, when records and sermons transitioned to English.

The church's congregation built the present Greek Revival-style $1 1/2$-story church building in 1849, when it was renamed Hebron on the Cacapon. The original log church was moved across the road and subsequently used as a sexton's house, Sunday school classroom, and public schoolhouse (attended by future West Virginia governor Herman G. Kump).

To celebrate the congregation's 175th anniversary in 1961, Hebron Church constructed a brick community and religious education building designed to be architecturally compatible with the 1849 brick church. As of October 2015, the church continues to be used by the West Virginia-Western Maryland Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Hebron Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 16, 2014, for its architectural distinction as a local example of vernacular Greek Revival church architecture in the Potomac Highlands.

Geography and setting
Hebron Church and its cemetery are located east of Carpers Pike (West Virginia Route 259) in the unincorporated community of Intermont, about 3.20 mi southwest of Yellow Spring, and 5.63 mi northeast of the town of Wardensville. Capon Lake and the Capon Lake Whipple Truss Bridge are 0.64 mi northeast of the church. The church and its cemetery are on a 3.879 acre lot.

Hebron Church is on the plain of a predominantly rural agricultural and forested area of southeastern Hampshire County, in the Cacapon River Valley. Baker Mountain, a forested, narrow anticlinal mountain ridge, rises west of the church, and the western rolling foothills of the anticlinal Great North Mountain rise east of the valley. The Cacapon River, just southeast of the church, is hidden from the church and cemetery by mature foliage. George Washington National Forest, encompassing the forested area east of the Cacapon River, is east of the church.

The National Register of Historic Places listing for Hebron Church includes the brick church and cemetery. They are accessible from WV 259 by a semicircular asphalt driveway, separated from the church and cemetery by a wrought iron fence and lined with large, old-growth maple trees along the property's northwestern perimeter. A paved brick walkway leads from the gate to the northwestern façade and two main entrances of the church. The church is surrounded on its northeastern, southeastern, and southwestern sides by a cemetery which is still in use. The cemetery contains over 600 gravestones, several yuccas, a hemlock tree, and a boxwood. A modern brick community building, within the historic boundary south of the church and cemetery, is used for church activities.

Background
The land upon which Hebron Church and its cemetery are located was originally part of the Northern Neck Proprietary, a land grant that the exiled Charles II awarded to seven of his supporters in 1649 during the English Interregnum. Following the Restoration in 1660, Charles II finally ascended to the English throne. Charles II renewed the Northern Neck Proprietary grant in 1662, revised it in 1669, and again renewed the original grant favoring original grantee Thomas Colepeper, 2nd Baron Colepeper and Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington in 1672. In 1681, Bennet sold his share to Lord Colepeper, and Lord Colepeper received a new charter for the entire land grant from James II in 1688. Following the deaths of Lord Colepeper, his wife Margaret, and his daughter Katherine, the Northern Neck Proprietary passed to Katherine's son Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron in 1719.

Under Lord Fairfax's ownership, the Cacapon River Valley was predominantly inhabited by English-speaking settlers as early as the late 1730s; most came from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. As settlement progressed during the second half of the 18th century, the fertile land of Hampshire County (including the Cacapon River Valley) also attracted German settlers from Pennsylvania and elsewhere in Virginia before and after the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783).

Establishment
As the population of German settlers in the region began to increase, the desire for Lutheran religious services and education also grew. Ministers, including Henry Muhlenberg disciple Christian Streit, began to establish congregations in the largest communities of western Virginia. Muhlenberg was a German pastor, requested by colonists in Pennsylvania, who served as a missionary there from 1742 until his death in 1787; he is considered the patriarch of the Lutheran Church in the United States. Johannes Schwarback and Muhlenberg's son, Peter, reportedly visited the Cacapon River Valley between 1763 and 1776 (before Hebron Church's founding). Streit, charged with ministering to a Lutheran congregation in Winchester, settled there on July 19, 1785.

Hebron Church, originally known as the Great Capon Church, was established by early German settlers in 1786 as a united German congregation of the Reformed and Lutheran denominations. The congregation was also known as the German Churches, since it served both denominations. In its earliest days, the church was served by pastors connected with congregations in the Shenandoah Valley. Streit incorporated the church into his circuit shortly after its founding, regularly traveling to the Cacapon River Valley for baptisms and weddings, but his ministry did not extend west of Cooper Mountain. According to the oldest extant church record, six people were confirmed in the Lutheran Synod and nine confirmed in the German Reformed Church in November 1786. On September 23, 1787, seven more people were confirmed in the Lutheran Synod; the church's enrollment then began to increase.

Early religious services were held in the log church on land deeded to Reformed trustee Jacob Huber and Lutheran trustee John Nicholas Schweitzer, both of whom were church elders in 1786. The deed conveying the land to the trustees specified that it was to be used for a German church and burial yard. The united congregation became Hebron Church, the first Lutheran church west of the Shenandoah Valley.

While the Reformed and Lutheran congregations used the log church, they were ministered by two pastors. Abraham Gottlieb Deschler ministered to the Lutherans, and Jacob Rebas (or Repass) ministered to the Reformed congregation until the latter dissolved around 1813. Although the church served both denominations, it was later served by one minister (Reformed or Lutheran). Originally a German-speaking congregation, its documents and religious services were in German until 1821 (an early transition to English for a German denomination in the United States). By that time, under the pastorship of Abraham Reck (1812–21), the congregation was known as Capon Church.

Construction
The congregation of Great Capon Church built the present $1 1/2$-story Lutheran church building in 1849, when it was briefly renamed Hebron on the Cacapon after the Scriptural Hebron (the city associated with Judah, Abraham, and Isaac). The church was later known simply as Hebron Church.

The brick church was constructed east of the original log structure, which was located to the west of the present community building. The 1849 church was originally topped by a wooden shake roof, and its windows had double-hung wooden sashes. Its pews were built by Alfred Brill, Jacob Himmelwright and Frederick Secrist with lumber milled by Brill. The church was constructed under the ministry of H. J. Richardson (1848–53).

The log church was moved from its original location in the south corner of the cemetery to a hill across the road from the brick church. It was used as a sexton's house for the church, and was a Sunday school classroom for about 30 years. In addition to religious instruction, the log building was a public schoolhouse. Future West Virginia governor Herman G. Kump and his brother, the judge Garnett Kerr Kump, received part of their primary education in the schoolhouse. By 1885, a Mr. Miller was teaching business principles at the school. The log building succumbed to the elements, and no longer exists.

Later history
Peter Miller ministered to the congregation at Hebron Church four times, for a total of 25 years, between 1858 and 1918. Licensed in 1858 and ordained in 1860, Miller engaged in missionary work for rural congregants in the Capon and North River Parish of Hampshire and Hardy counties for 60 years. He established many of the area's Lutheran churches and, according to the North Carolina Synod of the Lutheran Church in America, was "an outstanding figure in this large, mountainous, thinly populated territory, who for sixty years almost continuously was recognized as everybody's pastor". By 1867, the church membership was 106, its largest congregation to date. On October 13, 1879, a post office was established near Hebron Church to serve the adjacent community (then known as Mutton Run). In December 1884, the church roof caught fire from an adjacent flue, burning a hole through the sanctuary's ceiling which was soon repaired. On August 11–15, 1886, Hebron Church celebrated its centennial. During the celebration, Miller read a complete history of the German churches in the region. The centennial was reportedly the first of any Lutheran congregation in the southern United States.

The wrought-iron fence along the church driveway was installed in April 1895, replacing a picket fence. In 1905, the church's wood roof was replaced with a metal one, the present stained-glass windows were installed, its interior and woodwork were painted, and new lamps were installed for better illumination. The stained-glass windows were supplied by Madison Alling of Newark, New Jersey in memory of his father, who summered at nearby Capon Springs Resort. Alling also provided four hanging lamps and calcimine for the interior walls and paint for the interior woodwork. Anton Reymann of Wheeling, West Virginia funded the metal roof and the sanctuary's painting and decoration.

On June 11, 1915, the post office changed its name to Intermont (after the Intermountain Construction Company), operating until its closure on January 29, 1972. The unincorporated community around Hebron Church continues to be known as Intermont, after the former post office. By 1921, the Winchester and Western Railroad had been constructed to the east of Hebron Church by the Intermountain Construction Company to connect Wardensville with Winchester and develop the area's timber, mining, and fruit industries.

In 1932, the church's piano was donated by George E. Brill of Baltimore. Hebron Church celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1936, during the pastorate of Lawrence P. Williamson (1930–37). On October 29, 1961, in celebration of the church's 175th anniversary, the congregation dedicated a new brick community and religious-education building designed to be architecturally compatible with the 1849 brick church. The new building, which hosted community gatherings, events and Sunday school, was built just south of the brick church at the edge of the cemetery (where the old log church was originally located). Walter A. Sigman (1960–65) was pastor when the community building was dedicated.

Preservation
In 2008, a survey of historic properties in the county was undertaken by the State Historic Preservation Office of the West Virginia Division of Culture and History. Following this survey, the Hampshire County Historic Landmarks Commission and the Hampshire County Commission began an initiative to place these identified structures and districts on the National Register of Historic Places. Preparation of the necessary documentation for Hebron Church, French's Mill, Yellow Spring Mill, and the Nathaniel and Isaac Kuykendall House began in April 2013, when Governor Earl Ray Tomblin awarded $10,500 to the Hampshire County Commission. The cost of the commission's documentation of the history and significance of the four properties was $15,000, of which the county paid $4,500.

All four properties were accepted for the NRHP on December 16, 2014, with Hebron Church a unique local example of Greek Revival church architecture in the Potomac Highlands. Because the church's original architectural design, workmanship, and building materials are extant, architectural historian Sandra Scaffidi assessed the church as providing "insight into the construction techniques of a mid-19th-century ecclesiastical building". Hebron Church is one of six extant, rural pre-Civil War church buildings in Hampshire County; the other five are Bloomery Presbyterian Church (1825), Mount Bethel Church (1837), Old Pine Church (1838), Capon Chapel (c. 1852), and North River Mills United Methodist Church (1860).

As of October 2015, the church's congregation is part of the Potomac Conference in the West Virginia-Western Maryland Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Ministered by David A. Twedt, Hebron Church has 22 baptized members, 19 confirmed members and an average attendance of six.

Architecture
According to Sandra Scaffidi, Hebron Church's architecture exemplifies a "local interpretation" of the Greek Revival architectural style, which was popular at the time of its construction. With its simple wooden doors, returning eaves and symmetrical front-gable design, Hebron Church is representative of a vernacular interpretation of Greek Revival architecture. Only one other church building in eastern Hampshire County, Timber Ridge Christian Church in High View, was built of brick. The overall plan of Hebron Church exemplifies traditional Lutheranism, with the sanctuary's one-room floor plan enabling the congregation to be near its minister and easily participate in worship. Scaffidi wrote, "The Greek Revival front-gable form of the Hebron Church reflects the early settlers' desire to worship in a modest, uncluttered fashion."

Exterior
The 1849 church is a small, $1 1/2$-story, front-gable building. The main façade (northwestern elevation) has two main entrances, enclosed by white-painted wood, recessed panel doors, and capped by white-painted stone lintels with two stone corner blocks. The church's exterior is brickwork, laid in Flemish bond on the main façade and a five-course American bond on the northeastern, southeastern and southwestern elevations. Two blue-gray stained glass windows (installed in 1905) are symmetrically placed above the main entrances, each capped by stone lintels with two stone corner blocks. The main façade is crowned by a white painted entablature molding with two cornice returns, exemplifying Greek Revival architectural design. In the top of the gable, a square date stone engraved "1849" is embedded in the brickwork above a gooseneck light fixture. Although the church is now topped by a metal standing-seam roof, it was originally sheathed by wooden shakes. On the church's northeastern elevation there are three large, symmetrical stained-glass windows, each with a fixed upper sash and a lower hopper sash. Like the main façade's doorways and windows, the sills, lintels and lintel corner blocks of the stained-glass windows are white-painted stone. Below the windows is an exposed coursed-stone foundation with five tie-rod masonry anchor plates. A small brick chimney is present on this elevation. The church's southwestern elevation also has a coursed-stone foundation, with five tie-rod anchor plates, banked into the ground below three symmetrical stained-glass windows with fixed upper sashes and lower hopper sashes and encased with white-painted stone sills, lintels and lintel corner blocks. On this elevation are a small brick chimney in the roof slope and metal snowbirds along the roof line. Downspouts are located at the southern corners of the northeastern and southwestern elevations. The church's southeastern (rear) elevation has an exposed coursed-stone foundation 4 ft high, due to its location on sloping ground. At the center of this elevation is a protruding, gabled brick extension for the interior altar, with symmetrical stained-glass windows on both sides. The gabled protrusion is capped by aluminum flashing. An 1895 wrought-iron fence encloses the property's northwestern perimeter, and a paved brick walkway provides pedestrian access from the driveway to the two main entrances.

Interior
The church interior has an open floor plan, with a sanctuary measuring 28 ft wide and 43 ft long. The floor plan is an open nave, with two aisles partitioning three sections of rectangular wooden pews. Although the pews had been painted white, they have been restored to their original wood finish. The sanctuary's interior walls are plaster, and the floors are sheathed in wide wooden planks. The nave is topped by a ceiling fabricated on tongue and groove wooden planks painted white. Three large stained-glass windows, framed by wooden molding and recessed approximately 6 in, are symmetrically located on the northeastern and southwestern walls. The lower portion of each window contains a memorial dedication, which opens into its lower hopper sash. On the northwestern side of the interior are the two main entry doors, which access an unadorned narthex. Two tapered-square pilasters support an upper gallery loft, possibly used by slaves during religious services. The gallery is fronted by a solid balustrade, accented with dentil molding and recessed wooden panels. At the southeastern end of the sanctuary, the altar is atop a decagonal platform about 8 ft above the floor and accessible by a pair of four-step staircases. On the elevated platform is also a table holding a Bible. A recessed rectangular apse, flanked by a pair of fluted, engaged columns, is behind the altar. A painting of Jesus hangs in the center of the apse, with an American flag to its immediate north. An organ and a piano are north of the altar, with a baptismal font south of it. The altar platform and aisles are carpeted red. The sanctuary's northern and southern elevations exposed brick chimneys connected to gas heating units, which were installed around 1970. A brass chandelier with clear glass hurricane globes is suspended in the center of the sanctuary; on the northern and southern elevations, two brass electric lanterns are adjacent to the stained-glass windows.

The upper gallery on the northwestern side of the church is accessed by a twelve-step wooden spiral staircase, and has an unfinished wooden floor. Four wooden pews have white-painted sides and unfinished seats and rails. The gallery's ceiling height is about 6 ft at its tallest and about 5 ft at its shortest, due to the sloping wooden floor. Two stained-glass windows, which cannot be opened, are along the northwest wall. A small closet, accessible through a wooden door with two parallel vertical panels and original latch hardware, is at the base of the staircase. The church's original plasterwork and a 10 in vertically cut wooden board, suggesting half-timbering, are visible in the closet.

Community building
The church's community building, a non-contributing structure within the historic boundary, is southwest of the church. The building is a venue for Sunday school classes and community gatherings. The front-gable building, completed in 1961, is sheathed in brickwork. Similar to the church, the building is built into a gently sloping bank with its one-story elevation at grade facing west toward WV 259. Its two-story eastern elevation is at the foot of the hillside.

The building's western façade has a central entryway with double doors, topped by a six-light transom and flanked by engaged pilasters. Its gable, sheathed in aluminum siding, incorporates a gabled pediment and the building's perimeter is surrounded by a wide, flat frieze. The building's southern elevation has wooden windows with 12-over-12 double-hung sashes on brick window sills. Its basement level has one entrance, flanked by wooden double-hung sash windows and four casement windows. The northeastern elevation has three stained-glass windows on the main level, with three wooden eight-over-eight double-hung sash windows; a single wooden six-over-six double-hung sash window is in the gable. The building is roofed with asphalt shingles, and a brick chimney is along the slope of the northern elevation's roof line. Its northeastern elevation has five wooden 16-over-16 double-hung sash windows on the main level and four on the lower level, in addition to two wooden four-over-four sash windows.

Graveyard
Hebron Church is surrounded on three sides by a graveyard, consisting of about 700 granite, marble, slate and wooden headstones laid in semi-regular rows running northeast to southeast. The graveyard also abuts the northeastern elevation of the community building. Its interments date from about 1806 to the present; early headstones have deteriorated beyond recognition, and may be older than 1806. Slaves and other people of color are interred in a small area of the graveyard's southeastern section, with simpler markers than the cemetery's other headstones. Although its headstones are generally rectangular granite stones and large obelisks, the graveyard's earliest headstones were simple wooden boards. Several gravestones are ornately carved, including one modeled on a tree stump. The graveyard is active, with the most recent burials at the property's northern end. Dr. William Blum Sr., an electrochemist at the National Bureau of Standards who invented a chrome plating technique used in banknote printing, is interred at the cemetery.

East Runton

East Runton is a small village in Norfolk, England situated close to the North Sea. It was once a traditional fishing village outside Cromer but is now a popular holiday destination for camping and caravan holidays. The village is within the parish of Runton that also includes West Runton. The village is 1.3 mi west of Cromer, 1.7 mi east of West Runton, 2.7 mi east of Sheringham and 21.7 mi north of Norwich. The village lies on the A149 coast road but most of the dwellings can be found just south of the road, nestled around the two village greens. The population in the 2001 census was shown as 1,633 (includes West Runton) in 784 households. At the 2011 census the population was included in the civil parish of Runton. The parish area is 544 hectares.

The war dead of East Runton are recorded on the West Runton War Memorial.

The villages name means either, Runa's farm/settlement' or 'Runi's farm/settlement'.

Public houses
There are two public houses in East Runton: the Fishing Boat and the White Horse Inn. The Fishing Boat is the older of the inns, and is on the tithe map of 1840, although it was simply called the ‘Boat Inn’ then. In 1734 it is recorded that a court was held at the inn and it was then called the ‘Three Horse Shoes’. The White Horse Inn is first recorded in 1851. There is also a social club in the village which is known as ‘Bernies’ Corner House in Beach Road which in years prior was an amusement arcade but this changed to current usage in around 1982. Bernie's was named after Bernie Parkin whose father Reginald (Snr) originally had bought the place and had run it as an amusement arcade. Next door is a fish and chip shop. This was run for some time (especially during the 1980s) by John Parkin (Bernie's brother).

The Windmill
The tower mill at East Runton dates from at least 1826 when it is shown on Bryants map. The mill has now been restored and is a private dwelling. The mill was last worked in 1908 and has a cap that resembles an upturned clinker-built boat. This style of top is known as the Norfolk style. The restored tower now is complete with its cap, gallery and fantail but to date has no sails. The tower is 38 ft high and is built of brick. The tower had five storeys and once had three pairs of stones which were powered from the four double-shuttered sails. The village once also had a wooden post mill although there is no trace of where this was located other than a piece of land close to the railway which to this day is called Mill Hill and is now a caravan storage facility.

Story of James Leak
James Leak was a resident of East Runton around the early part of the 19th century. Leak was the local blacksmith and renowned Bare-Knuckle prize fighter. He lived in one of six thatched cottages that once stood on the cliff top near Runton gap. His blacksmith's forge was at East Runton. In 1827 Leak had a big problem. The story goes that he had developed a gangrenous toe and was in fear of it spreading and causing his death. In his desperation, Leak came up with his own solution to his problem. He went to his forge in East Runton, rested his foot on his anvil and with one mighty blow removed the infected toe with a hammer and chisel. He then cauterized the stump with a red hot poker from out of his forge. This desperate surgery had been as a consequence of Leak being unable to afford surgeon's fees. He made a full recovery and his home surgery seems to have had little effect on the man as he continued his prize-fighting and lived to the age of 82.

Surfing
The beach at East Runton is popular with the surfing fraternity. Located on a cliff-top, the Surfers' Memorial was unveiled in 2003. The weather vane is topped with a figure depicting a surfer. At the base of the memorial a plaque commemorating the lives of four young surfers is inscribed with the words Waves come & go my friends but your lights shine on.

Talk:Tony Garza

Issues with this article
Primary sources, unreferenced content, needs better secondary sources.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:25, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Removed primary sources such as law firm, press release; the SMU source can be kept for the present but the bigger overall problem with this article is that it needs more WP:SECONDARY sources to establish WP:NOTE -- that is, please explain why this subject is worthy of being in Wikipedia other than being a US ambassador and marrying a wealthy Mexican lady. That's the key -- references are needed, otherwise much of the rest of this article should be trimmed substantially, and possibly put up for deletion.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:55, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if this article is improved by simply removing the sourcing, however. It's appropriate to use press releases or corporate sources for information within a wikipedia article. As WP: NOTE explains, secondary sources are used to establish the notability of the subject. This does not mean that every source in the article must be secondary in order for it to be considered properly sourced. I agree that the article is probably rather too long, especially all of that play-by-play of his career, but the subject was U.S. ambassador to Mexico for 7 years. He's not THAT notable, but he's certainly notable enough for an article.Flyte35 (talk) 23:01, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * More secondary sources will make this a stronger article, won't you agree? Right now, the article does not do justice to the subject; there is a quote from Bush, praising him, when appointing him for a post, but it was not in a national paper, but a local one. There are sources that he married a high profile lady. Unless we can find more secondary sources, that's the story -- former US ambassador, high profile marriage. Content about where he went to school, or his law background, or county posts -- let's keep that out because it begins to look like a resume of sorts. I bet there is more information from Spanish-language sources in Mexico which can be included.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:18, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Of course secondary sources are better, and you should feel free to add better sourcing, but there's no need to remove the existing sources if they're reliable. I think it would be fine to remove the content you don't find relevant or useful (and there's a lot of it here). That would improve the article. Flyte35 (talk) 00:11, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * When almost all of an article is based on primary sources there is a risk of original research since essentially Wikipedians are saying X is important, Y is important, and not reporters or neutral peer-reviewed sources, and it can begin to look like an advertisement for a politician or resume perhaps.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 01:29, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * No, there's no "risk" of original research here. Original research means the use of facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist. That's not what's going on with this article. All of the sources don't have to be secondary to be valid. He's notable because he was ambassador to Mexico. That's not debatable. Where he worked and where he went to college and stuff are basic bio material. It's not original research if it's a press release or his official bio at his law firm. It's fine, as I said, for you to remove content you find objectionable, but you're removing basic biographical information now, which is not an improvement.Flyte35 (talk) 02:29, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you do not understand fully about the concept of original research. It can take a while to learn, but what might help is if you take a look at the previous version of the article, before the trimming -- really look it over -- with fresh eyes, (really do this: most likely you'll skip this step because you think you're smart, because you think that I'm not smart, and because you think that you know more than others here, and perhaps you are unwilling to learn from others here, such as me -- so I repeat -- really do this step) and you would see the two referenced facts about the subject being a US ambassador to Mexico, and the high profile marriage, and the rest of the article was resume, unsourced claims about lesser positions, his education, and so forth, with "sources" pointing to the subject's own website, a law firm. What's the problem here? The original research is that all this pseudo uninteresting information is important enough to include in this encyclopedia. It is not. It is boring. The research was done by Wikipedians, not reporters; it originated with wikipedians, not reporters. This information can be found elsewhere such as the law firm website. Reporters did not dwell on this information or publish it because they knew it would cause readers to roll their eyeballs. Trust reporters to cue us in here about what's important. And we can all improve this encyclopedia here by simply following Wikipedia's rules.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:23, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * This is not a policy that exists. This is basic bio information and the fact that the source is a press release from or an official bio from a law firm where the subject works does not make the information unreliable. If the information can be found elsewhere that's great. You should feel free to find better sources. But you're not improving the article by deleting all of the (admittedly not well sourced) information and turning it into a stub. Flyte35 (talk) 12:38, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * "Wikipedia policy about original research is clear and says Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them. What is not clear about that? The original research is that this subject deserves a whole page of text. (earlier comment removed) --Tomwsulcer (talk) 15:19, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Please top with the personal attacks. That is not productive. Listen, I understand what you're trying to say, but it really just doesn't seem your edits are improving the article. Original research refers to sourcing and conclusions, not to what biographical information should be included in an article. Wikipedia policy about original research is clear and says "do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them." That's not what's going on here. In the guidelines for biographies of living persons it says to "exercise caution in using primary sources," such as court transcripts or public documents. It does not say "all information not cited in a reliable secondary source should be promptly removed." The goal here is to make the article reliable and complete, not to gut it for its failure to provide the best sourcing possible.

 * I don't think this discussion we're having is really leading anywhere, however, so I'm going to stay away from this for awhile. I hope other editors will weigh in on this matter.Flyte35 (talk) 14:48, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I will leave it alone as well.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 15:19, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

I've added back some content and also expanded with additional. Information about his education and career are standard for a biography. I have restored what seems acceptable under WP:SELFPUB (we have no reason to doubt his alma mater or his marriage) and also restored notable career points sourced both in the sources that were originally included in the article and in others. In addition, I've found others - I'm rather surprised that the Order of the Aztec Eagle was not mentioned in the article, for instance. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:24, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Area codes 843 and 854

Area codes 843 and 854 are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for a portion of the U.S. state of South Carolina that comprises roughly the eastern third and the southern tip. The numbering plan area (NPA) includes the Grand Strand, the Lowcountry, the Pee Dee, and the Sandhills. Major cities in the region are Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Beaufort, Hilton Head Island and Florence. Area code 843 was created in 1998 when area code 803 was split, while 854 was added in 2015 to form an all-services overlay.

History
Area code 843 entered service on March 22, 1998, created in a split of area code 803. In 2013, the NANP Administrator determined that 843 would run out of central office prefixes in 2015. In addition to the rapid growth of the Grand Strand, Charleston and Beaufort/Hilton Head areas, most of the southern portion of the numbering plan area is part of the Savannah, Georgia LATA.

On December 9, 2013, it was decided that the 843 territory would receive the state's first all-service overlay. On December 16, 2013, the new area code of 854, approved by the South Carolina Public Service Commission, was announced. 854 entered service on March 14, 2015. Permissive dialing continued until September 18, 2015, during which both seven- and ten-digit dialing were supported. On September 19, 2015, ten-digit dialing became mandatory in the 843/854 territory. The first new 854 numbers were issued sometime in the fall of 2015.

But, that's fine, I like the wording of your hook better anyways, though one change:

List of power stations in Michigan

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in Michigan, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Michigan had a total summer capacity of 30,538 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 117,497 GWh. In 2023, the energy mix was 45.7% natural gas, 22.9% nuclear, 19.2% coal, 6.9% wind, 1.7% biomass, 1.1% other gases, 1.1% petroleum, 1.1% solar, 0.2% hydroelectric, and 0.1% other. Coal use has decreased by half over the last decade, replaced by natural gas and renewables. 60% of renewable generation is wind energy.

Michigan imports all coal and nuclear fuel (uranium), and 82% of natural gas. A goal to produce over 10% of electricity from in-state renewable sources was set in 2015. Major electric companies in Michigan include DTE Electric Company (11,000 MW) and Consumers Energy (9,000 MW).

Nuclear power stations
Nuclear power is a significant source of electrical power in Michigan, producing roughly one-quarter of the state's supply. The two active nuclear power plants supply Michigan less than 30% of its electricity.

Former nuclear power stations
See also Midland Cogeneration Venture, a plant abandoned before completion

Coal power stations
Coal power is the second leading source of electricity in Michigan. Although Michigan has no active coal mines, coal is easily moved from other states by train and across the Great Lakes by lake freighters. The lower price of natural gas is leading to the closure of most coal plants with Consumer Energy planning to close all of its remaining coal plants by 2025 while DTE plans to retire 2100MW of coal power by 2023.

Natural gas power stations
Michigan has some of its own natural gas production and is a leading state for natural gas transport and storage. Declining prices for natural gas in the early 21st century led to an increase in the number of natural gas power plants. Consumers Energy announced a new 700 MW plant to be built near Flint beginning about 2015 while the city of Holland replaced its coal plant with a 114 MW natural gas plant In April 2018, DTE received permission for a 1,100 MW natural gas plant to replace a coal plant in St. Clair.

Oil power stations
Fuel oils and other liquid fuels are only a minor fuel used in Michigan for power generation. Some units burn liquid fuel only while some multiple fuel units sometimes use liquid fuels as well.

Former plants

Multiple fuel
Multiple fuel units may alter their fuel source depending to balance pricing, availability, and energy content.

Municipal solid waste
Waste to energy plants which use garbage to produce power are a minor source of Michigan's electricity.

Former plants:

Landfill gas
Landfill gas plants, which use methane collected from garbage dumps to power electrical generators, are in use near a number of Michigan landfills but are only a minor source of power. Only plants larger than 4 MW

Biomass/waste power plants
Biomass power plants in Michigan often use waste from the lumber industry. Smaller units use food waste, or cow, pig and turkey waste.

Hydropower
Michigan has a number of small hydropower plants; however, the generally small, flat rivers provide a limited source of power.

Pumped storage hydropower power stations
Michigan has one pumped-storage hydroelectricity station, on the shore of Lake Michigan, used for power balancing. It is the fifth largest such plant in the world.

Wind power stations
Wind power in Michigan grew rapidly due to national price supports and a Michigan mandate to produce 10% renewable energy by 2015. The largest concentration of wind power is in the Thumb region.

As of February 2024

Solar power stations
Solar power is a very minor source of electricity in Michigan.

Systems of over 5.0 MW, as of April 2024

Etymology
From +, reflecting the original nom.sg. of that was later remodelled on the accusative. The former component cognate to 🇨🇬,, ; its length is uncertain, since the original short vowel of PIE appears to have undergone lengthening in numerous daughter languages, with both Sanskrit and Greek showing both variants. The original nominative also surfaces in as well as in ; whether it retained the length of the ū cannot be established. The uncertainty over etymological vowel lengths is compounded by the fact that both the scansions nŭdĭū̆s (with anceps third syllable) and nūdĭŭ(s) (with s-loss or iambic shortening) are possible in all the occurrences except one, where nū- is required.

Pronunciation

 * Note: which /u/ was long and short is impossible to establish - see Etymology.

Content issues
The content introduced in this edit is not suitable for a Wikipedia article because it is entirely based on unsourced and non-neutral views. It is written in an essay-like style and significantly disrupts the article. I propose that the additions are removed completely. -- Mrmatiko (talk) 09:32, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Consett Grammar School
Consett Grammar School was a red link until I redirected it to this article today (while working on an article about Sheila Mackie, who taught there), despite there being a Category:People educated at Consett Grammar School. It gets a mention in the "history" section here but not a lot: I've looked around and found clues to history at this site about war memorials and this writeup or a reunion, but it would be good if someone could clarify the history with good sources. It must be out there somewhere. Thanks. Pam D  10:09, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Not a "reboot", but a sequel?
If Macaulay Culkin is appearing as Kevin McCallister in a cameo, then won't this technically be a sequel and not a reboot? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:BB6:1A8A:D058:A0D2:D9E2:D593:3C5D (talk) 19:42, 25 June 2021 (UTC) That is wrong, yo. You made the wrong statement. It is a reboot, and not just some stupid old sequel. Which, don't get me wrong, I love the whole franchise, but as a Pastor's son, it all comes down to this, it's whole franchise if funny with booby traps, but also conflicts enough, to actually be able to watch it all, and to watch it all tonight, or tomorrow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:44, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

The first 20th Century Studios film for Disney+
I'm tagging "the first 20th Century Studios film to be produced for the streaming service" for a few reasons. 20th Century Studios isn't mentioned in the Production section, and while the sources mention it, none of them call this film "the first" by the studio to be produced for Disney+, only that it's one of several planned projects. We can deduce it's the first, but that would be original research. Also, from the 20th Century Studios article (which I also tagged):

The first of these projects was Home Sweet Home Alone, which was released on November 12, 2021, and it became the only film released by 20th Century Fox on Disney+, as subsequent projects were transferred over to Walt Disney Pictures.

Based on that, it would be just as accurate to write in the lead "the only 20th Century Studios film to be produced for the streaming service." <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:30, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You admit the sources in the article already support the statement, but your problem is that it could just as easily support another claim. The tag citation needed is not the right tag. The tag dubious also exists. You can argue that the statement is WP:UNDUE and remove it from the lead section entirely for that reason instead, but please don't use the citation needed for information that does already have citations, using the wrong tag is a wastes of other editors time. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:08, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't admit any source supports the statement "the first". citation needed is appropriate. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:23, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll revert myself, it's a bit pedantic; my point was it's not explicitly called "first" by any source. It's brought up in the lead, not mentioned in the body, and supported by sources only through implication. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Jamaican vomiting sickness

Jamaican vomiting sickness, also known as toxic hypoglycemic syndrome (THS), acute ackee fruit intoxication, or ackee poisoning, is an acute illness caused by the toxins hypoglycin A and hypoglycin B, which are present in fruit of the ackee tree. Unripe arils contain concentrations of hypoglycin A that are 20-fold higher than those of ripe arils, and can cause vomiting and even death. Some countries in the Caribbean and Western Africa experience frequent cases.

Presentation
Abdominal discomfort begins two to six hours after eating unripe ackee fruit, followed by sudden onset vomiting. In severe cases, profound dehydration, seizures, coma, and death may ensue. Children and those who are malnourished are more susceptible to the disease.

Pathophysiology
When ingested, hypoglycin A is metabolized to produce methylenecyclopropylacetic acid (MCPA). MCPA acts to inhibit the beta-oxidation of fatty acids in two ways. First, it interferes with the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria by forming ester linkages with carnitine and coenzyme A (CoA). Also, it inhibits acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, so that only unsaturated fatty acids can be fully oxidized. Fatty acids accumulate in the liver in a microvesicular pattern that can be seen on biopsy. In the absence of fatty acid metabolism, the body becomes dependent on glucose and glycogen for energy. Octreotide can be used to reduce the secretion of insulin by the pancreas, thereby preventing severe hypoglycemia.

Inhibition of beta-oxidation of fatty acids, however, also depletes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and acetyl CoA—the latter an activator of pyruvate carboxylase—inhibiting gluconeogenesis. Once the liver glycogen stores are depleted, the body cannot synthesize glucose, and severe hypoglycemia results.

Initial symptoms appear after about four hours, and deaths have been reported from 12 to 48 hours following consumption. Supportive care involves carefully metered IV glucose infusion and fluid/electrolyte replacement; mortality was 80% before glucose infusion was introduced in 1954.

A similar outbreak of lethal hypoglycemic encephalopathy has been linked to the consumption of lychee fruit in Muzaffarpur, India. Urinalysis of children affected by the disease has shown all affected have elevated levels of hypoglycin suggesting the same underlying pathophysiology as Jamaican vomiting sickness.

In popular culture
The disease appears in the ER episode "Great Expectations", where the symptoms are recognised by Dr. Mallucci who, it is later revealed, attended medical school in Grenada.

Hi-5 series 13

The thirteenth series of the children's television series Hi-5 aired between 17 October 2011 and 16 December 2011 on the Nine Network in Australia. The series was produced by Southern Star and Nine with Noel Price as executive producer.

This was the last series to feature Casey Burgess, Fely Irvine and Tim Maddren. Lauren Brant and Stevie Nicholson continued as cast members in the spin-off series Hi-5 House.

Production
Following the Nine Network and Southern Star's acquisition of the Hi-5 franchise in 2008, a deal was made to produce five new series of the program featuring the "new generation" cast. Southern Star produced two of these series in 2009 and 2010, and begun production of the third in 2011. Noel Price returned as the executive producer for his third series, and all five cast members; Lauren Brant, Casey Burgess, Fely Irvine, Tim Maddren and Stevie Nicholson, returned.

The thirteenth series premiered on 17 October 2011. The new set of episodes celebrated the program's musical history by reintroducing previous songs of the week to a new generation of fans. The classic songs were reinterpreted for the series, with new costumes and dance routines. Network directors Martin Hersov and Cathy Payne stated, "We know these will continue as hits with our new generation of fans.”

Irvine departed the cast in late 2011, soon after the series aired, with a network representative stating she was leaving to explore "other career options". This was the final series produced by the Nine Network and Southern Star, before Nine sold the Hi-5 franchise in 2012. The two remaining series originally ordered by Nine in 2009 were not produced.

 * Lauren Brant – Body Move
 * Casey Burgess – Word Play
