Marshall Road

Marshall Road is an east–west road in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. It is continuous with Beach Road.

Route description
Marshall Road starts off at a roundabout with Isodoon Street and Dayton Boulevard in a suburban development in Dayton. From there, it heads west as a four lane dual carriageway with a speed limit of 60 km/h. 220 m later, Marshall Road intersects with Drumpellier Drive. Approximately 200 m after that, Marshall Road turns into a two lane single carriageway with a speed limit of 80 km/h. The road becomes somewhat rural in character, as it passes between paddocks in Bennett Springs. The road passes over Bennett Brook before intersecting with Altone Road. On the north side of the road is Whiteman Park, and on the south side of the road is the residential area of Bennett Springs. 2 km after that intersection is the intersection with Beechboro Road North. Just before that intersection, the speed limit of Marshall Road changes to 70 km/h, and just after that intersection, Marshall Road changes back into a four lane dual carriageway.

700 m after Beechboro Road North, Marshall Road passes over Tonkin Highway as a flyover. There is a slight kink in the road as the bridge was constructed slightly north of the former alignment of Marshall Road. Just past there, the road bends to the south, and enters the Malaga industrial area. The road then bends to the west before arriving at an roundabout with Guadalupe Drive. Heading north from the roundabout leads to the residential area of Ballajura, and heading south enters the carparks of businesses along Marshall Road. From there, a frontage road runs alongside Marshall Road on both sides, giving access to businesses along the road. Marshall Road continues west, arriving at a traffic light controlled intersection with Bellefin Drive 650 m later. Heading north on Bellefin Drive also leads to Ballajura. Marshall Road then bends north and then west, coming to a roundabout with Business Way and Trade Road, two local roads. Marshall Road terminates 160 m after there, at a traffic light controlled intersection with Malaga Drive and Beach Road. Beach Road continues west for another 12.8 km through the northern suburbs of Perth.

History
Marshall Road was originally constructed as an unsealed track in the 1950s or 1960s. In the 1970s, it was sealed. However, it was still a minor road on the outskirts of Perth. The area around the road gradually started to be developed in the 1990s, and is continuing to this day.

In the late 1990s, Lord Street was extended south of Marshall Road. This involved a small realignment of Marshall Road. Marshall Road was also realigned approximately 200 m south in Malaga during the late 1990s, including a partial upgrade to dual carriageway between Beach Road and Bellefin Drive. In 2002, Altone Road was connected to Marshall Road. Between 2006 and 2008, Marshall Road was duplicated between Bellefin Drive and Beechboro Road North. Between 2008 and 2010, the eastern terminus of Marshall Road was converted into a roundabout, as a result of the area getting busier due to suburban development.

In August 2010, construction started on extending Hepburn Avenue south from its previous terminus to Marshall Road. It was planned to be finished in April 2011, but it was delayed. Eventually, it opened in June 2012. In February 2018, the intersection of Marshall Road and Hepburn Avenue was permanently closed to make way for the extension of Tonkin Highway as part of the NorthLink WA project. As part of that project, a bridge was constructed to carry Marshall Road over Tonkin Highway. The bridge was built just north of the existing Marshall Road alignment, so that the road could remain open during construction. The bridge opened in November 2018 as a two lane single carriageway, and as a four lane dual carriageway in April 2019.

In 2018 and 2019, as part of the New Lord Street project, a small portion of Marshall Road was rebuilt on a new alignment as a four lane dual carriageway, and a new intersection was built with New Lord Street, later called Drumpellier Drive. Various closures of this part of Marshall Road occurred during this time.

Talk:Introduction to Art/What is Art?

not sure if anyone is actively maintaining this at present, but i feel that it's important to begin with a less partisan thesis. in contemporary art pedagody, there is a need (and a considerable demand) for texts which enable students to approach many of the more vital strains of experimental art practice at an undergraduate (or indeed secondary) level. as such, i'm of the opinion that founding the text on a necessarily expressionist paradigm effectively prevents it from engaging thoroughly with, for example, minimal art, conceptual art, and appropriation-based practices, to name just a few things.

might i suggest that instead of letting this statement remain a central assumption of the text, one could introduce a section on central pilosophical issues in reading/theorizing "art." obviously, one of these would be "expression," discussing among other things the conflation of expression and expressionism, theories of communication and transmission, and the impact of major critical discourses (existentialism, phenomenology, deconstruction...) on the approach to the problem of expression in critical and "studio" art practices.

lastly, if more than one or two others are willing to work on this...i'd like to see the taxonomy of media handled a bit differently. it needs to be a bit less classical and more of a set of considered heuristics that acknowldge the extremely contingent nature of the project of distinguishing between media. i'm thinking of things such as the distinction between painting and drawing in much expressionism, the distinction between painting and sculpture in much minimalism, and distinctions between sculpture, installation, assemblage, sound art, conceptual art, software art, etc. that have been nearly impossible to use in any "objective" way for decades now.

at any rate, i'm mostly just wondering who's out there and also interested in working on some outlines for this kind of project.

Puget lowland forests

Puget lowland forests is a temperate coniferous forest ecoregion the Pacific coast of North America, as defined by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) categorization system.

Setting
The WWF defines the ecoregion as inhabiting mainland coasts and islands the Georgia Depression, a glacially depressed area dominated by the Salish Sea and numerous inflowing rivers. This differs from the Strait of Georgia/Puget Lowland ecoregion defined by the CEC in that it explicitly excludes the lowlands along the east coast of Vancouver Island. The WWF considers these lowlands a part of the neighbouring Central Pacific coastal forests ecoregion.

The landscape features glacially striated tablelands and rolling hills underlain by sedimentary rocks. The majority of soils in the depression are formed from glacial till, glacial outwash, and Lacustrine deposits. Elevations range from sea level to 460 m (1,509 ft), seldom exceeding 160 m (525 ft).

Climate
The ecoregion has a predominantly Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csb) with fresh, dry, sunny summers and cool winters with moderate precipitation and plentiful cloud cover. Further inland it gradually transitions into an Oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) with slightly milder, wetter summers. The mean annual temperature is 9 °C (48.2 °F), the mean summer temperature is 15 °C (59 °F), and the mean winter temperature is 3.5 °C (38.3 °F). Annual precipitation averages between 800 and 900 mm (31.5 to 35.4 in), but may be as high as 1,530 mm (60.2 in).

Flora
Before European settlement, the Georgia Depression was dominated by dense coniferous forests of Coast Douglas-fir, Western Hemlock, Western Redcedar, shore pine, and western white pine. The ecoregion was also home to extensive coastal wetlands and peat bog ecosystems scattered about in poorly drained areas. The lowlands south of Puget Sound were home to an extensive region of prairies. These ecosystems have since been greatly reduced in size due to the repurposing of these lands for agriculture, grazing, industry, and urban development.

Fauna
Mammals that inhabit this ecoregion include black-tailed deer, coyote, raccoon, mink, sea otter, harbour seal, red fox, and the introduced Virginia opossum. Birds represent the majority of resident species, including cooper’s hawk, bald eagle, turkey vulture, owl, blue grouse, waterfowl, and numerous passerine species.

Development
This ecoregion lies within the most densely populated area of British Columbia and Washington, including the metropolitan areas of Vancouver and Seattle. Consequently, only 5% of the original lowland forest habitat within the region remains, and over 90% of these remaining areas have been heavily altered from their natural state. Most exist as tree farms, city parks, or as small state/provincial parks geographically isolated from one another.

Climate change
Sea-level rise threatens to permanently flood large swaths of coastal wetland and lowland forest. Regions at highest risk include the Fraser Lowland and Skagit Valley.

Preservation
The opportunity exists to use local conservation easements to protect remaining riparian and wetland areas, restore a portion of the old-growth forests, and provide connections to adjacent ecoregions. The best candidates for conservation include the establishment of more forest connections between the forests of the Olympic Peninsula and Cascade Mountains just south of Olympia and the protection of Burns Bog within Metro Vancouver.

Protected areas
Some protected areas of this ecoregion include:
 * Anacortes Community Forest Lands
 * Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge
 * Burns Bog – part of the Fraser River Delta Ramsar Site
 * Desolation Sound Marine Provincial Park
 * Gulf Islands National Park Reserve
 * Moran State Park
 * Larrabee State Park
 * Stanley Park

WDQN (AM)

WDQN (1580 AM, "MeTV FM 97.1") was a radio station based in Du Quoin, Illinois. It is owned by the Du Quoin Broadcasting Company and operated by E&R Media. It transmits on 1580 kHz at 170 watts daytime & 6.6 watts nighttime. WDQN went dark in June 2022.

History
WDQN began as WAVA of the Ava Broadcasting Company and was based out of Ava, Illinois. The station was moved to Du Quoin in 1953 and began transmitting from north of Du Quoin in St. Johns. The station then changed its call letters to WDQN of the DuQuoin Broadcasting Company. Their first studio was in Du Quoin on the 2nd floor of the Riggio building at Main and Walnut Streets. Around 1959 they constructed their studio at the site of their tower. The station signed on with a BC-GY250 radio transmitter that was manufactured by the Gates Radio Corporation of Quincy, Illinois in 1953. WDQN operated at a power of 250 watts during the day and a power of 10 watts at night. They remained at this power even after the deregulation of broadcast powers by the FCC. This power was used until the original transmitter was replaced in 2003, where the power was then reduced to 170 watts and 6.6 watts. WDQN began simulcasting with WDQN-FM in 1969. This continued until WDQN-FM was sold to The Three Angels Broadcasting Co. of West Frankfort, Illinois in 2003–2004. The original tower was constructed to a height of about 173 feet, but was then added on to in 1988 to take the height to 311 feet. WDQN played a format of easy listening music, now referred to as adult contemporary. WDQN discontinued broadcasting on May 14, 2017. WDQN returned to the air on July 24, 2017 as a venture of E&R Media. The station continues to transmit from their location in St. Johns, but also opened a second studio on Main Street in Du Quoin in 2017.

On October 19, 2018 WDQN dropped its hot adult contemporary and began stunting with Christmas music, branded as "Christmas 97.1"(simulcast on FM translator W246DU 97.1 FM Du Quoin). On October 22, they re-branded as "Sunny 97.1 - The 90's (sic) & Now!". Shortly thereafter, the tagline was changed to "2k & Today!"

On August 28, 2020, WDQN changed their format from hot adult contemporary to soft oldies. branded as "MeTV FM 97.1".

WDQN ceased broadcasting in the summer of 2022, with management citing the inability to be profitable as the reason.

Programming
For several years, WDQN was known as "Your favorite music mix" broadcasting a mix of pop and country. However, in 2008, the station began broadcasting solely as a country music station. In 2017 they returned to a full service format, with national news from FOX News Radio as well as local news updates. In the late part of March 2018, WDQN shifted its format to Hot AC and added several nationally syndicated programs, including: Uncovered with Dr. Laura Berman, The Weekly Top-20 Countdown with Rick Dees, The iHeartRadio Top-20 Countdown with Mario Lopez and Backtrax USA 90's (sic) with Kidd Kelly.

In August 2020, WDQN switched from Hot AC to Soft Oldies, branded as MeTV FM 97.1 and features syndicated programs like “Rock & Roll's Greatest Hits with Dick Bartley”, The History of Rock ‘N’ Roll hosted by legendary TV game show host Wink Martindale and Into the 70’s with Todd Chambless.

Talk:Verizon New England

Name confusion
All these telecom mergers and subsidiaries make it very confusing to know how to organize articles. If the name is now Verizon New England, etc., then I suppose the article name should no longer be New England Telephone - but changing it would lead to a ton of redirects. On the other hand, is Verizon New England etc. enough of a separate entity to be worthy of an article? No, I imagine. The article-worthy entity is the old, independent New England Telephone. In which case the Verizon name should be secondary, e.g.:
 * New England Telephone was a Bell Operating Company that served the majority of New England until it became part of Verizon following various mergers in the 1980s and 1990s. Officially New England Telephone & Telegraph Co. ...

Or something like that. Any thoughts? - DavidWBrooks 12:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Personally, I liked the articles without the infoboxes - I only added infoboxes to the Verizon operating company articles after someone else added infoboxes to other Verizon operating company articles. I'd say if there were no infobox, there would be no problem at all...the official corporate name could just be mentioned at the end of the article as it used to be. KansasCity 13:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. We could make this an article about the old company, mentioning its new name so folks can go to Verizon if they want to see the present. But then the question is when do we end this article? In 1984, in the divestiture? Or 1994, when it just became NYNEX and "new england telephone" ceased to exist as a separate name? - DavidWBrooks 13:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I've given it a shot. Maybe we should get rid of the post-1984 logos down below; they add to the confusion. - DavidWBrooks 14:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

discussion
This is a comment on put on User: X570's talk page after he reverted the article:
 * That's Verizon New England not Verizon New England Telephone & Telegraph Co. as you have written. Where did you get that title? And why is the "NYNEX company" logo in the infobox? And it's not a Bell Operating Company, it's a subsidiary of one; actually, it's just an operating unit according to the link you sent, which is less than a subsidiary.
 * Even if all that is corrected, the article as you have changed it starts out talking about a different name than the title, which is highly confusing to the reader. It would be like having George Elliot start out Mary Ann Evans was a Victorian writer ... and then mention two sentences later that she used George Elliot as a pen name. At the very least it should say New England Telephone was the name of what is now Verizon New England ... or perhaps we should move the whole article to Verizon New England. - DavidWBrooks 21:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I am in error in at least one point - it is a Bell Operating Company. I was mistaken thinking of an RBOC, the regional version. - DavidWBrooks 21:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually there are now 21 Bell Operating Companies as Southern Bell and South Central Bell has consolidated, and Mountain Bell, Northwestern Bell and Pacific Northwest Bell consolidated.X570 21:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I forgot to mention, the logo is the logo because it is the logo of New England Telephone itself. "A NYNEX Company" is there because it is where the logo was picked up from, http://www.bell.com/nynex_ad.htm.

 * The article should not be moved for a couple of reasons, and that is 1)VNET&T is the full proper name of the company, and 2)to remain consistant with the pages about the other Bell Operating Companies, as with the exceptions I mentioned before (the companies that consolidated: BellSouth Telecommunications, Qwest Corporation), and companies that were part of the original Bell Atlantic territory, that did officially drop their traditional names (New Jersey Bell became Bell Atlantic-NJ, then Verizon-NJ). All of the BOCs that are now part of the 'new' AT&T retain their traditional identities, though, for example the d/b/a of Pacific Bell is now AT&T California. - X570

 * If VNET&T is the full proper name of the company, why is the article titled "New England Telephone"? Shouldn't we turn the redirect around - have New England Telephone redirect to Verizon New England? No, that would be too much work - but I am going to put a "formerly' into the introductory sentence, as at New Jersey Bell to help the baffled newcomer. - DavidWBrooks 22:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Basically it is still subsidiary of a larger company, as it has been for over a century. As a company it deserves an infobox, and there is alot of data that can be seen at a glance in the infoboxes. The logo is the last logo used when the company was marketed to the public as NETel, and for the purposes of this article, should NOT be replaced with the generic Verizon logo. VNET&T is the official, internal name of the company. Even under AT&T prior to 1984 it was not marketed at New England Telephone & Telegraph, just New England Telephone, just the same as it is now marketed as Verizon New England.

why it should'be be Verizon
Consider this article: Sanders Associates. It's a Nashua, NH company that existed for years, had a distinct public persona, and whose name entered the local vernacular. The company is now part of BAE systems - same buildings, same customers, etc. But the Sanders article doesn't start out with BAE Systems and a BAE Systems infobox, followed by a description that it used to be Sanders Associates. Why not? Because nobody who goes to an article titled Sanders is looking for information about the current corporate form with a different name - they would go to the article *with that name*. The Sanders article should talk about Sanders - e.g., the company before it was bought - regardless of what has happened since then.

The same process should exist here. This article is about the company that was known to the public as New England Telephone, with that impossible-to-forget jingle, so it should talk about that company - not about its current corporate form that nobody even knows exists. That's why I changed it back (although I haven't changed it again): To serve readers' actual needs when the come to this article, rather than following an arbitrary inofobox style. - DavidWBrooks 17:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Looking above on this page, I see this debate has been going on for a year and a half! - DavidWBrooks 17:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This page still retains the New England Telephone title because it is more widely known as New England Telephone. Sure, people probably don't think to look for a company named Verizon New England, but it is essential to readers that they understand that a company still exists. That would be like saying the Macy's, Inc. page should lose its infobox and only keep the article talking Federated Department Stores before being renamed Macy's, without any mention that it actually exists to this day with a new name as Macy's, Inc. KansasCity (talk) 06:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I think the FairPoint sale has changed things to the point that this argument no longer holds true. The old New England Telephone is now (roughly) half FairPoint and half Verizon; it's not just Verizon New England as of March 31. Come to think of it, the intro needs to be rewritten to reflect this - and, in my humble opinion, the infobox should be killed. Hmmm ... this isn't exactly straightforward. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 15:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Federated Department Stores merely renamed itself. There were no merger's or acquisitions of FDS by another corporation. Indeed, the history of the original Macy's department store is present in the separate article on the store Macy's, not the article on acquiring corporation with a different heritage. Possibly, the history of Macy's after FDS and after the nationwide re-branding should go into a separate article.
 * To follow your analogy, create an article on Verizon New England that includes a history with a short section about New England Telephone with a link to it as the main article for that part of the history. The current article does and did link to Verizon and FairPoint.
 * Also, I live in New England, and no one calls the telephone service or company "New England Telephone"; they call it Verizon and recognize that New England Telephone was the telephone company long ago which was consumed and transmogrified by a succession of corporate changes. —Centrx→talk • 04:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

New England Telephone is not Verizon New England. It is false to speak of an organization and its descendant as one when its descendant has been chewed up over twenty-four years through multiple mergers and the latest partial divestment. Information about Verizon New England belongs in the article on Verizon. Some information might also belong in an article about "Telephone service in New England". —Centrx→talk • 04:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

 * So I would suggest the intro should say something like:
 * New England Telephone was the name of the telephone company for most of New England, which existed as part of the the original AT&T from the 1907 creation of the national monopoly (often called "Ma Bell") until 1984, when AT&T was divested of its local operating companies. New England Telephone became part of NYNEX on that date, and after 1994 the name was no longer officially used. Its service area is now covered by Verizon Communications in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, and FairPoint Communications in the three northern New England states.
 * Any thoughts? - DavidWBrooks (talk) 13:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

 * The previous is intro is fine, no need to entirely re-write it. —Centrx→talk • 19:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm slightly baffled - your comment and Edit Summary sound like you merely undid the last edit, but you actually made enormous changes that weren't there before. However, I like what you have better than what was there, so good on you - although I am going to make a couple of minor grammatical tweaks (e.g., clearing up uncertainty about antecedents). - DavidWBrooks (talk) 01:48, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Looking back on this, my edit of 7 June 2008 was a revert back to 16:33, 11 May 2008 Centrx,, and was substantially similar to 22:50, 9 November 2007 Centrx, , though clearly "revert" is a vague term as to which edit(s) were reverted. Cheerio! —Centrx→talk • 04:47, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Why this article should retain an infobox
The company described in this article, New England Telephone & Telegraph Company, which is now legally named Verizon New England, Inc. should retain an infobox on its current status. Should we go to other articles about Bell Operating Companies that were renamed, such as all of the Verizon and AT&T operating companies as well as Qwest Corporation and strip them of their infoboxes simply because they are no longer named what they might have been years ago? Verizon New England is indeed an active Bell Operating Company in Verizon and some of its assets were sold, but that doesn't affect its incorporation status. The legality of the matter is that it still exists, and Wikipedia has always strived to be as factually correct as possible. To say that New England Telephone & Telegraph Company doesn't exist is factually incorrect because it indeed does, only under a different name. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Labor Union History
Dear DavidWBrooks and anyone else maintaining this article,

Verizon New England (New England Telephone) has had a long history with labour unions. Should this be added into the article? What do you think?

Readnews1 (talk) 18:26, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Sure, as long as its referenced. Also, in the U.S. it's spelled "labor"! - DavidWBrooks (talk) 20:28, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah i know I just fixed it sorry. I am american, NOT british, by the way. Just messed up. Readnews1 (talk) 20:55, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Fixing broken links
Hello, As an employee of Verizon Communications, I am asking Wikipedia editors to consider fixing dead links on different Verizon-related Wikipedia articles. Because of my conflict of interest, I follow Wikipedia's best practices in requesting updates rather than editing directly.

For this article, can editors replace the first "Website" link in the infobox with https://www.verizon.com/local/massachusetts/ ? For this article, can editors also replace the second "Website" link in the infobox with https://www.verizon.com/local/providence-ri/

Myanmar Lethwei Federation

Myanmar Lethwei Federation (MLF) (မြန်မာနိုင်ငံရိုးရာလက်ဝှေ့အဖွဲ့ချုပ်) formerly known as Myanmar Traditional Lethwei Federation is one of two major organizations which sanctions professional Lethwei bouts worldwide and the only one who oversees Lethwei competitions in Myanmar.

History
The Myanmar Lethwei Federation or MLF is a branch of the Myanmar's Ministry of Health and Sports. The federation was initially founded in 1995 as the Myanmar Traditional Boxing Federation, since Lethwei is translated to Boxing in Burmese language. In 2019, the federation adapted its name to the MTLF - Myanmar Traditional Lethwei Federation, reflecting a more modern approach to the world and later updated it to Myanmar Lethwei Federation.

Since 1990's, MLF has been the sponsor of Thein Pyu Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar and holds an office space in the premise.

In 2016, the MLF granted a ‘’Grade-A’’ promoter licence from the International Lethwei Federation Japan allowing them to organize traditional Lethwei events in Japan.

Banning Leduc
On April 28, 2021, Dave Leduc criticized Muay Thai fighter Buakaw Banchamek and historical figure Nai Khanom Tom in a social media post. Leduc questioned the veracity and claimed that the Nai Khanom Tom folklore story is exaggerated and that he was simply a prisoner in ancient Burma, referring to Siamese prisoners captured by Burmese troops during the Burmese–Siamese War. The post sparked considerable backlash from the Muaythai and combat sports community. In a letter, the Myanmar Traditional Lethwei Federation explained that Muaythai promoters made a complaint about Leduc. Muaythai promoter Nuttadaj Vachirarattanawong urged the MTLF to reprimand Leduc. According to the MTLF, Leduc had "committed personal attacks" on Buakaw Banchamek and Muaythai history potentially tarnishing the relationship between Myanmar and Thailand. The federation issued a two-year ban Lethwei competitions under the MTLF. There were speculations that the ban was political due to Leduc denouncing the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état and supporting the freedom movement in the Myanmar.

In response to the letter, Dave Leduc wrote on social media: "They’re not the World Lethwei Federation (WLF), the WLF is the most powerful, they have affiliated federations all accross [sic] the world [...] Nobody in the world tells me anything. The World Lethwei Federation can’t, and especially not the MTLF" "They made an “official letter” saying they ban me from their federation “for 2 years” Am I supposed to care? Not only do I not care, I will go further and say: I will never fight in their federation (MTLF) ever again." Leduc added.

Elise Løvenskiold

Elise Løvenskiold (16 February 1844 – 15 January 1923) was a Norwegian court official. She served as the overhoffmesterinne for Queen Sophia of Norway.

Elise Løvenskiold was the daughter of the Norwegian landowner baron Harald Wedel-Jarlsberg (1811–1897) and Elise Frederikke Butenschøn (1820–1868). She married landowner Carl Otto Løvenskiold in 1865. They were the parents of Harald Løvenskiold (1868–1934). Her spouse served as Norwegian prime minister in Stockholm in 1884.

She was appointed principal lady-in-waiting to Queen Sophie of Norway. The office had traditionally often been appointed to members of the Løvenskiold and Wedel-Jarlsberg families. During the Union of Sweden–Norway, the royal family had a separate Norwegian court who met them at the border and served them during their visits to Norway, after which they escorted them to the Norwegian border, where they were met by their Swedish court again. The Norwegian court was smaller than its Swedish counterpart: in 1890 Elise Løvenskiold had only one lady-in-waiting (maid of honour Helene Wilhelmine Johanne Bull) under her, and in 1903 two (lady-in-waiting Betsy Henriette Emilie Cappelen Rustad and maid-of-honour Helene Wilhelmine Johanne Bull), while her Swedish equivalent Ebba Åkerhielm had three married ladies-in-waiting and three maids-of-honour.

Elise Løvenskiold would have served more than her predecessor, since from 1890 Queen Sophia chose to spend her summers in Norway: between 1892 and 1904 in Skinnarbøl manor outside Kongsvinger.

Active (1800 ship)

Active was a French ship launched in 1793. She came into British hands circa 1799 as a prize. Peter Everitt Mestaer purchased her and named her Active. She made one voyage to India for the British East India Company (EIC), which held a monopoly at the time on trade between Great Britain and India or China. From 1802 she was a London-based merchantman, trading first with Hamburg and then more generally. She was last listed in 1815.

Career
Active was first listed in the Register of Shipping and in Lloyd's Register in 1801. Both showed her owner as P. Mestaer, and her trade as London-Bengal. Her master was J.L. Smith or J. Smith.

Captain John Greitin Smyth acquired a letter of marque on 6 December 1800. She had been tendered to the EIC to bring back rice from Bengal. She was one of 28 vessels that sailed on that mission between December 1800 and February 1801.

It is not clear when she sailed for India, but she arrived back at Portsmouth on 10 November 1801, having left Madras on 5 July and Saint Helena on 19 September.

On her return, Active started to trade between London and Hambro. This continued through Lloyd's Register for 1807. Active was no longer listed in Lloyd's Register in 1808, but she reappeared in the Register of Shipping for 1809 (the Register is not available on line for 1807 or 1808). In 1809 Active's master was J. Welch, her owner was P. Mestaer, and her trade was London transport.

Fate
Active was last listed in the Register of Shipping for 1815. Her master was J. Welsh, her owner was P. Mestaer, and her trade was London transport.

Talk:Ken Griffey Jr./Archive 2

Griffey in the Steroid Era
This is a nice mention but I think it should be relocated. It's not very Personal, unless you count it as a "personal choice" to have never taken steroids. Maybe it should be relocated to a section of its own with mention of the Mariners' clubhouse steroid allegations as made by Shane Monahan. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 18:44, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The section was deleted with no discussion, I added it again (though I didn't write it originally). If you have a problem with it please discuss it here. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:22, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah It's a good section, I don't think he took steroids but the questions and allegations are still out there. People shouldn't delete the section because they don't agree with the accuser. I think there are more people who say he didn't take them and those voices should be added too. It might need to be expanded and move, it's not very personal.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, I didn't delete the section because I necessarily disagreed with it, it was because at the time it had no sources, and looked to be entirely original research.-- Henry  talk  04:55, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This doesn't refer to you. An IP deleted a part of the section. You did the right thing. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 04:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I removed the section. --Jnala (talk) 12:11, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The section has two main points. Neither needs to be here.
 * Griffey's historical status has been elevated by the absence of steroid rumors regarding him. That is already discussed in the lead paragraphs.  It does not need to be repeated.
 * There was an espn.com article where a player who was on some of the same teams as Griffey made claims regarding widespread use of steroids and amphetamines in the clubhouse. This article never mentions Griffey's name, nor has Monahan ever mentioned Griffey specifically, nor has such a connection been reported in any article I can find.  Thus I believe bringing up Monahan in a discussion of Griffey is original research.  The notability of Monahan's claims is questionable regardless.
 * The section inaccurately quotes Monahan as saying "The only person that I didn't see take [steroids] was Dan Wilson." The actual quote was "The only person that I didn't see take greenies was Dan Wilson."  Greenies are amphetamines, not steroids, so this paraphrasing is incorrect.  Amphetamines have been common in baseball since at least the sixties, and were not at all discussed in the Mitchell Report; they are not a "steroid era" phenomenon.
 * The usatoday.com link "Reds outfielder Griffey rises above steroids cloud" is useful and relevant, and I moved this to the related sentence in the lead paragraph which was previously uncited.

 * If you claim it was inaccurate, you should have changed it, not removed it. The fact is, you took the "good pr" article from that section and moved it somewhere else. The Monahan statement was rebutted by numerous players who were on the Mariners roster in the 90's and that was added into the section because just adding the one side wouldn't be very neutral. The fact is, neutrality is now skewed. Any player who was as predominant in the 90's as Griffey is going to get questions about preform enhancing drugs. It should be added in a neutral manor listing accusations and list out supporters of Griffey's clean image. Our personal ideas of Griffy have no place in this article. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 14:37, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Numbers
Is there any need for a section? All but one are not cited, so I think the one that is can be moved to a more appropriate section. Any thoughts? --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 19:55, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it should be deleted. The one that is cited could be moved into the biography section at the appropriate place. --Muboshgu (talk) 13:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. Nearly all are uncited and including wearing number 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson is rather pointless since hundreds of players, managers, and umpires wear the number each year. I mean if it's so important to include on Griffey's page, might as well make a section on Tim McClelland's page for it. I say if no one say otherwise in the next few days, it should be taken out. HidyHoTim (talk) 23:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Issues
The article has alot of issues, most of all the lack of citations and POV writing. I'll begin with the following:

 * In 1999, he ranked 93rd on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players. This list was compiled during the 1998 season, counting only statistics through 1997. It was argued by some that, had the voting been done two or three years later, he would have been ranked several places higher: at age 29 (going on 30), he was the youngest player on the list.

I'll add a citation for the list itself, removing the third sentence and leaving the note of him being the youngest player on the list. This kind of editing pretty much needs to be done throughout the article, if anyone is interested.--Chimino (talk) 01:12, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This may be a good idea for a collaboration at WP:BASEBALL. It would be nice to have this article at GA or FA status by the time he's elected to the HOF. --Muboshgu (talk) 01:33, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Last active player from the 1980's?
Anyone know who the last active player from the 80's is? I think it's Ken Griffey Jr. but I am not sure. -- undefined14:36, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Omar Vizquel.--Yankees10 14:54, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Position issues
The people who continue to revert his position need to stop, as this can be viewed as vandalism. Wikipedia strives to have the most accurate information, not popular opinion. Griffey, Jr. played multiple positions throughout his career. When someone plays rightfield for 4 entire seasons and DH for 2 seasons, he can no longer be viewed as a centerfielder. On ESPNs statistical site, his position is even stated as designated hitter. Please refrain from changing his position as this can viewed as vandalism — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:13, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Is paragraph on suicide attempt really necessary?
I really do not find it that relevant that there is an entire heading devoted to Ken Griffey Jr. 1988 suicide attempt. Is it really necessary to have a whole heading about it? I mean it has been 23 years since it happened.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:55, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Add some videos with some key statements by Griffey....such as "trade to reds" or going back to Seattle for 1999 season....maybe some announcer quotes.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:17, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Kingdome/Safeco Field
I don't feel it's necessary to include the information on the Kingdome/Safeco Field in the article (i.e. Safeco being "the house that Griffey built"). I don't know of a single person in the Seattle area that refers to it as such, and I've only heard minor references to it on television ads around 1996 or so, and right around 1999 when Safeco opened. Certainly, the details of Governor Lowry calling the legislature into special session have no relevance to the article.

-- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:24, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Napgate
This is a WP:BRD discussion of the recent removal of the "Napgate" description from the header of a section which covers the issues leading up to Griffey's retirement (dubbed "Napgate" with multiple citations) and actual retirement. As the term appears well-sourced and is a core part of the section as currently written, the edit has been reverted to prior consensus. Explicitly, consensus can change.

 * I reverted it back, since in a BLP, those concerns trump BRD. I really don't think this "napgate" is so important that it needs to be in the section header. It's a part of the story of his midseason retirement, so it should stay, but "retirement" seems sufficient as a header to me. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:17, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * What "concerns?" I'm unaware of a WP:BLP policy which restricts the use of non-pejorative terms about an event which are extensively used in the ensuing media coverage and well-cited.  About half of the section's content is explicitly about Napgate rather than retirement, hence its appropriate use in the header.  UW Dawgs (talk) 17:49, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I disagree.. the section is about his retirement and why he retired... "napgate" is a term that was used at the time but i dont feel it has real lasting notability today and its use in the section header implies a bigger controversy than it really was. The section should be "retirement". Spanneraol (talk) 19:31, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Two paragraphs, two different topics. Napgate didn't cause his retirement, it preceded his decision to retire.  If he didn't retire, Napgate is still notable and well-cited. UW Dawgs (talk) 18:40, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I still disagree that "napgate" is important enough in the scope of his career to have its own section... the material should either be included in the Mariners section or in the retirement, and I feel retirement makes more sense as it led to his retirement. Its undue weight to give it its own section. Spanneraol (talk) 20:03, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * If the two topics are linked, they should share the section as has been the long-standing treatment. UW Dawgs (talk) 22:16, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I am unaware of any policy which precludes the common name of an event from being used as a section header. Also, you specifically referenced a WP:MOSHEAD violation, but there does not appear to be any on-point issue therein.  UW Dawgs (talk) 17:41, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Capitalization was incorrect. But I also agree it's WP:UNDUE to include in the header. It's described in the section, that's all that's really needed. oknazevad (talk) 18:26, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Per WP:UNDUE, what viewpoint is lacking representation or being under-represented? UW Dawgs (talk) 19:11, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Nothing. But UNDUE is also about overstating things as well. oknazevad (talk) 02:12, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * As most of the section's content is about Napgate, how is using the term in the section header "overstating?" UW Dawgs (talk) 02:26, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It inflates the importance of "napgate" in the scope of his career. Spanneraol (talk) 02:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Main Picture
Griffey Jr. played for the White Sox so his main picture has every right of being a White Sox picture as it does Mariners. I propose that the main picture is him with the White Sox on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with the remaining days being with the Mariners. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheFlamingTurd (talk • contribs) 18:26, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you really think Griffey is better identified as a Chicago White Sox (Sock?) than as a Seattle Mariner? He spent 13 seasons in Seattle, and less than one in Chicago. You're really proposing we alternate the image on an ongoing basis? Articles are supposed to be stable in content. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:10, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Put another way, let's look at his games played totals. Griffey played 1,685 games for Seattle, 945 for Cincinnati, and 41 for Chicago. If you really wanted to alternate the lead image, it should be with a picture of him with the Reds, not with the White Sox. And since the article body has images of him with all three teams, there's no issue here. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Not that it needs saying, but subject mostly known as pictured with Seattle. I honestly can't imagine this to be a legitimate suggestion or sincere editor, fwiw. Echoedmyron (talk) 20:13, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * You may be right, but I'm treating the comment seriously per WP:AGF. It was serious enough for the editor to edit war over. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:58, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Ivan Svanidze

Ivan "Dzhonrid" Alexandrovich Svanidze (Иван "Джонрид" Александрович Свани́дзе; ივანე ალექსანდრეს ძე სვანიძე; Ivane Aleksandres dze Svanidze; 1927 – 1987), was a Soviet academic who specialized in agriculture and African Studies. He was the nephew of Joseph Stalin through his first wife, Ketevan Svanidze, and the third husband of Stalin's youngest daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva.

Early life
Svanidze was the son of Old Bolshevik Alexander Svanidze and Maria Anisimovna (née Korona). His parents were Georgians; his father's family were minor nobility from Kutais Governorate. His mother was from a Jewish family in Tiflis, and was an opera singer at the Tiflis Opera and Ballet Theatre.

Their son was born in Berlin, Weimar Republic, where his father was working as part of a trade mission. They named him after American socialist John Reed, best known for his account of the Russian Revolution, Ten Days That Shook the World. His name was Russified "Dzhonrid", and he was often called "Dzhono", "Dzhoni" or "Vano." He also used the name Ivan, the Russian version of John.

Education and career
He graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in history. In 1964, he received a Ph.D. from the USSR Academy of Sciences's Institute of African Studies. He received a second doctorate in economics in 1978.

I removed the first external link because it seemed to just be a commercial link to a site selling meat thermometers (not that I can guarantee that, since it refused to let my non-IE browser past the first page).

Free and open domain names

The goal of this project is to implement a system of free top level domains. One possibility is the implementation of a Firefox plugin that will forward appropriate queries to a server that will then match the query with the site's server's IP address or URL. Alternatively, with cooperation of ICANN this could simply be implemented in a rather standardized way. If there are multiple free domains then there could be different ways in which domains are allocated. There could be different rules for what is allowed on each different domain. Could this be done using some sort of peer-to-peer mechanisms?

Proposed letters

 * .fd
 * .fc
 * .net
 * .com

Project status

 * Looking individuals willing to work on the project
 * Sandbox Server is up and can potentially host the initial test server/backend

To-do
If you are familiar with Micropledge and are interested in setting up a project there for this project, please do so.

Possible allocation methods

 * Community consensus
 * First come first serve
 * You create an account and you can simply type in a domain and a forwarding address

 * Basic rules
 * No spam/arbitrage sites
 * No illegal content

 * Content under the domain under a free license CC or GFDL on some domains

Lasi people

The Lasis (لاسي) are a Sindhi ethnic community or group of Sindhi tribes in Balochistan, Pakistan. They form 4.56% of the total population of the province as of 2017, and are the predominant group in the lowlands of former princely state of Lasbela. Now divided into two districts of Balochistan i.e. Lasbela and Hub, some area is in Gwadar district called Ormara. Lasis are also called as Jamote, a term used in Kalat and Kachhi regions, They occupy a high social position and have traditionally been engaged as agricultural landlords. They speak the Lasi dialect of Sindhi Language. Although social stratification is found in individual tribes, there is no social hierarchy or rigid tribal structure.

Tribal distribution
According to the 1998 Census of Pakistan, all the tribes other than Baloch, Brahui, Med, Khoja and Hindus who have settled in Lasbela are known as "Lasi". The principal Lasi tribes are only five in number. The Jamot, Runjhas, Sheikh, Angaria and the Burra. Together they are called the Panjraj and constitute a tribal confederation. The tribes include the Abras, Angarias (12.5%), Burras (9.0%), Dambis, Gidris, Gungas (13.0%), Gwaranjos, Jamots (14.8%), Kundolas, Mandras (6.6%), Mangias (4.0%), Mashwanis, Masunis, Mushanis, Runjhas (14.3%), Samots, Shahoks (4.4%), Sheikhs (5.4%), Sithars, and the Zuars. Some other tribes settled in the Las Bela district include Afghan, and Baluch. The main Lasi tribes claim descent from the Soomras and Sammas of Sindh.

Etymology
The word Lasi is a Sindhi language word meaning plain.

Wikiversity talk:Introduction Overhaul Taskforce

Name
I plucked this project's name more or less out of thin air - what do people think of it? Inspiring? Ghastly? Satisfactory? Any suggestions? (How about a catchy acronym?) Cormaggio talk 19:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikiversity organisation proposal
Sorry for the late response. I am new to wikis and have spent some time researching on my local copy. I planned posting a complete proposal to colloquium, but things are moving faster here than I can keep up. So I'll do my best to sell the idea with what I know. This has the side-effect of revamping the Main Page and Community Portal.

The Problem
(My reference is Wikipedia, I know little about the other projects, so my conclusions may be off.)

Wikiversity combines all administration, educational, support, and website management across all the namespaces. This complicates creating contribution areas and educational areas, that is, there is no distinction made between those who come to study and those who want to contribute. There is no clear separation between regulations that apply to contributors and those that apply to students. Finally, the content structure presented to students emulates the school's structure.

Operation
Wikiversity has three main operational goals:
 * Attract contributors to produce quality material.
 * Attract students to consume the material.
 * Facilitate student and contributor collaboration.

The words 'student' and 'contributor' is defined by the editing they do. A student never, or only, edits articles, while a contributor edits more than one namespace.

Proposal
The proposal redefines the available namespaces and how they used. It restructures Wikiversity similar to an enterprise: Products (education), management (administration), and customer relations (student council). Unlike the traditional enterprise, Wikiversity designates roles, rather than people, so people can switch between roles.

Namespace definition

 * Educational - The school namespace is rooted in Category School. The school itself is divided into two areas: the school namespace provides contributor navigation and content acccess, and, the subcategory school discusses the school's policies, content evaluation, templates, and similar.

 * Administration - The Project namespace rooted in Category Project. Administration is divided into two areas: school administration and real world issues. The project namespace deals with template control, content assement, and school structure. The category projects, however, deal with format, copyright, vandalism and similar administration issues.

 * Student - The Article namespace is reserved for educational material and tools. The article structure is independent from the school structure. This enables contributors to view the material their way and present it the student way . Students should never bee accidently exposed to other namespaces (except maybe Topic).

Student School and Inter-School schools
Two dummy schools complete the proposal. The Student school is structured for student access and provides navigation to materials and tools. It is not a school, but is in the school namespace. The student subcategory is the student council which discusses how well the student navigation works, how well they can get help from contributors, and anything that they think will improve Wikiversity. Students may edit the student school structure to better reflect their needs. This will not affect any other school, nor change the way contributors provide the material. (A student namespace might be safer than a school)

Initially, the school structure can follow all the other schools (except the interdisciplinary), and then students can restructure material as they choose. This should be no more than relinking topics to articles and creating/deleting student topics. Note, that students who edit articles will edit the same article a school contributed. Thus, students approach articles from the student school, while contributors do so from another school.

The student school structure contains content specifically targeted toward studying, while other schools content target education and material organisation.

The second inter-school school handles inter-disciplinary content. Any material that affects both social science and philosophy, for example, is provided here. Schools provide links to the inter-school, rather than duplicate effort, or interlink schools. The inter-school is responsible for negotiating between schools, avoid ownership claims, on the one hand, and neglect on the other. The subcategory interschool deals with inder-disciplinary education and multiple presentation without content duplication (Social science views content one way, philosophy another).

The Root Pages
The main Page links to the student school. It provides the motto, slogan, and a brief history of Wikiversity. It is student orientated and designed to encourage study. A topical list of courses allows direct access for power students. The subcategory student directs students to the council for advice and feedback.

The Category:School page lists all the schools, including student and interschool. It describes Wikiversity's educational goals, methods, and content recommendations. Each school's category describes how the school implements the above. Thus, every category that refers to the school namespace deals directly with education, in theory, practice, or both.

The Category:Project page lists all the school projects. This deals with administration issues, such as school structure, template, and content management. Each project subcategory (i.e. Project:Arts), describes how the school administers itself. At the lowest level, external tools and material projects focus on access, availability, and usefulness. Note: student projects (that belong to the student school) are reserved for students to conduct projects with mentors. So, projects can still be used as originally intented.

The Community Page is reserved for contributors, both students (for the student school) and others. It provides a cross-over for students wanting to expand Wikiversity and links to sister projects (like wikipedia, etc.) It also provides news, current events, and available tasks (what needs to be done).

Requirements
All the structures are based on the subpage feature. This means schools can use the same name within the school namespace without conflict. The art school can have 'fine' and 'applied' departments, which will be identified as 'School:Art/Fine' and 'School:Art/Applied'. To cleanup the page's title, should work if it is properly enabled. (It works on my wiki, but not on Wikiversity) The science school may also have an 'applied' department, but identified as 'School:Science/Applied' and distinct from the art's applied department. This approach avoids polluting the Topic namespace with school departments.

The Topic namespace servers as an entry point to articles. Each topic lists the articles it manages (toc) and describes it's objective. A topic defines an atomic unit, or module of articles. It may contain a related (student) project link that describes prerequiste units and/or external materials and tools. Each article should have back, forward, and up links to related articles and the root topic. This can be discussed on the Topic's talk page.

Summary
In summary, create a student school and interschool. Create the category:student as the student council to discuss the student school structure. Move regulatory material into projects and separate between school regulations (project namespace), and general (category project). Link the community portal to Category:School, and add each school to the school category. Move department topics back into the school namespace using subpages. Link school departments to Topics and topics to articles. The student school can organise topics as they see fit. Student school projects function as student collaborations, while contributory schools use them for format, copyright, robots, and similar. School navigation provides education content, category navigation provides school admin content, project navigation provides external admin content (formats, access, copyright). The Topic category provides material navigation (courses). PeterMG 04:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Translation
A copy of the above "Wikiversity organisation proposal" has been made and will be edited in an attempt to match the proposal to the terminology used at Namespaces. See Wikiversity talk:Introduction Overhaul Taskforce/copy. --JWSchmidt 04:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I wonder if this could be done on a new page Structuring Wikiversity, which would address the scope of the above post, going beyond a description of individual namespaces? Cormaggio talk 09:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think Web architecture for Wikis is also trying to get at these "wiki structure" issues. --JWSchmidt 12:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

4th Royal Tank Regiment

The 4th Royal Tank Regiment (4 RTR) was an armoured regiment of the British Army from its creation in 1917, during World War I, until 1993. It was part of the Royal Tank Regiment, itself part of the Royal Armoured Corps.

History
The regiment originally saw action as D Battalion, Tank Corps in 1917. In 1940, it was briefly amalgamated with the 7th Royal Tank Regiment, as the 4th/7th Royal Tank Regiment, returning to its previous title four months later.

4 RTR was captured at Tobruk on 21 June 1942. On 1 March 1945, 144th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps was re-designated 4th Royal Tank Regiment to replace the original. The newly retitled regiment equipped with Buffalo LVTs took part in Operation Plunder, ferrying troops of 51st Highland Division across the Rhine on the night of 23/24 March 1945. The Commanding Officer (Lt-Col Alan Jolly) carried the same standard that was originally carried across by 17th Armoured Car Battalion of the Royal Tank Corps in the First World War. Once again the RTR was first across the Rhine.

In 1948 it assisted in the ending of the British Mandate over Palestine. In 1959, it was again amalgamated with 7th Royal Tank Regiment, this time without a change of title, and in 1993 due to Options for Change, amalgamated with the 1st Royal Tank Regiment.

Commanding officers
The Commanding Officers have been:
 * 1941: Lt.-Col. W.C.L. O’Carroll
 * 1960–1962: Lt.-Col. Thomas S. Craig
 * 1962–1964: Lt.-Col. H. Brian C. Watkins
 * 1964–1967: Lt.-Col. John A. Cowgill
 * 1967–1969: Lt.-Col. Roger B.C. Plowden
 * 1969–1971: Lt.-Col. Martin H. Sinnatt

TheatreWashington ... From the District to Shirlington, from Bethesda to Tyson’s Corner, from the route 29 to the route 50 corridors, the Washington metropolitan area has always been one of the most prosperous, vital, and exciting communities in the country in which to live and work. An unparalleled arts destination, the Washington region is home to nearly 80 professional theatres and thousands of theatre professionals that produce work of the finest quality and fuel the economy of the nation’s capital. With the second highest per-capita number of theatre productions annually — second only to New York City — Washington, DC is an unparalleled arts destination. And, sitting at the very center of this dynamic theatre community is theatreWashington. theatreWashington formerly known as the Washington Theatre Awards Society and later as the Helen Hayes Awards organization, is the unified voice of Washington theatre since the 1980's. The organization - led by Linda Levy Grossman - works full-time to promote, represent and support all segments of Washington’s professional theatre community as well as strengthen Washington theatre’s powerful economic engine and world class brand.

theatreWashington: The Organization Behind The Scene
In the early 1980s the Washington Theatre Awards Society was founded to recognize and encourage excellence in professional theatre in the Washington region through the presentation of The Helen Hayes Awards. After the first few Helen Hayes Awards presentations, the region and the country understood the quality of theatrical excellence to be found on Washington area stages. Using this prestigious credential, theatres attracted new audiences and support, they invested in programming and infrastructure, and in response, audiences grew and artists came to Washington to do the work they loved.

The organization launched innovative education and communication programs, but the early success of the Helen Hayes Awards suggested that the organization do business under the name of its most visible program.

By building audiences, by introducing students to theatre, by promoting Washington across the nation as a vibrant cultural capital, and with the national and international significance of The Helen Hayes Awards, the organization has helped drive the continually growth of Washington theatre. Now, at the request of the theatre community and the encouragement of a wide range of stakeholders, a stronger and more robust organization has evolved — and with a new name theatreWashington has became a structure that better reflects the breadth and geographic scope of the organization’s realigned activities.

The Story of the Awards
The story begins in 1983 on a flight from Chicago back home to Washington D.C.,when Broadway producer Bonnie Nelson Schwartz pondered the state of theatre in her hometown. Chicago's Joseph Jefferson Awards had just been presented. Impressed with the way the Jefferson Awards had galvanized Chicago theatre, Bonnie wondered what could be done to strengthen and cultivate live theatre in Washington.

Together with producing partner Arthur Cantor and Washington Post Critic Emeritus Richard L. Coe, they presented a plan to the first lady of the American theatre and native Washingtonian, Helen Hayes, who wholeheartedly embraced the idea of her namesake awards honoring theatrical excellence in her hometown.

The idea of Washington's own theatre awards program - a signature event that would promote the concept of Washington as a theatre town - was born. The stage was set. As young theatres received Helen Hayes for artistic excellence, they attracted new audiences and support. With greater support, the theatres could invest in their programming and facilities.

Audiences grew.

Along with this concept, came to the organization the dream of improving the community by helping artists make a living doing what they love in a place where they had established roots. In order to better serve the growing demand, restaurants and stores opened - more people came. Neighborhoods were revitalized.

The bounty of talent and world-class productions make theatre an essential priority for thousands of Washingtonians each day - to feed their spirit and soul, to help educate their children, to encourage cultural diversity, and to provide a more vibrant quality of life.

Helen Hayes MacArthur: First Lady of American Theatre
Born on October 10, 1900 in Washington D.C., Helen Hayes saw her first play at the National Theatre when she was five years old. At the age of nine, she made her professional debut. Later that same year, she appeared on Broadway for the first time in the play Old Dutch. Perhaps the greatest actress in the history of the American stage, her astonishing career in theatre, film, television, recording, and publishing spanned the twentieth century.

Miss Hayes authored eight books and worked extensively in radio for more than half a century. She was the recipient of the first Tony Award for Best Actress, two Oscars, an Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, The Kennedy Center Honors and the presidential Medal of Freedom, and was regarded as the "First Lady of the American Theatre."

The Helen Hayes Awards is a vibrant living legacy to her legendary work ethic, standards of excellence, and inspiration to Washington artists who followed in her footsteps. Eighty years after her first visit to the National Theatre, Miss Hayes presided over the inaugural presentation of her namesake awards. She passed away on March 17, 1993.
