2017 Western Iraq campaign

The 2017 Western Iraq campaign was the final major military operation of the 2013–2017 war in Iraq, in the western province of Anbar, and on the border with Syria, with the goal of completely expelling ISIL forces from their last strongholds in Iraq.

The offensive followed the Hawija offensive by the Iraqi Government, and was also concurrent with several major offensives in Syria: the Syrian Democratic Forces' Deir ez-Zor offensive, and the Syrian Government's Battle of Deir ez-Zor and Eastern Syria campaign on the opposite side of the Al-Qa'im border crossing.

Background
Al-Qa'im was known as a hotbed of jihadist insurgency, after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, with coalition forces carrying out repeated operations against Al-Qaeda jihadists. The strategic and porous border started becoming a route for foreign fighters entering Iraq from Syria, who was accused by Iraqi Government of ignoring it.

The towns of western Anbar were captured by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in 2014. Before the 2017 offensive, Iraqi forces had dislodged the group from key cities of Anbar including Ramadi and Fallujah but the areas near border with Syria including Anah, Rawa, Al-Qaim left and the vast rural areas across the province remained under militant control. An Iraqi operation was launched towards west Anbar in January 2017, but was suspended after recapture of towns of Sagra and Zawiya because of preparations for retaking the western bank of Mosul.

In September 2017, the Iraqi Army launched an offensive in the western Anbar Province, recapturing the towns of Akashat on 16September and Anah on 21September. After recapturing Hawija on 5October Iraqi Army was expected to fight ISIL in Anbar. Instead, it paused its military actions and later started advancing on Kirkuk.

Al-Qaim
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced an offensive to recapture the western border region of al-Qaim and Rawa on 26October. He stated, "The heroic legions are advancing into the last den of terrorism in Iraq to liberate al-Qaim, Rawa and the surrounding villages and hamlets." Iraqi forces including the troops, police, Sunni tribesmen and mostly Shia militias, participated in the assault. Later, Lieutenant-General Abdul Amir Yarallah announced that they had cleared Umm al-Waz village, 55 km south-east of al-Qa'im, and the H-2 Air Base, along with the nearby Husseiniyat area, 120 km south of al-Qaim. According to the United Nations, around 50,000 people were still in al-Qaim and Rawa. Meanwhile, Walid al-Dulaimi, an Iraqi army colonel, told Anadolu Agency that they had captured Rawa intersection and the Jabbab district, which is about 2 km west of Rawa.

Iraqi Army's War Media Cell announced on 27October that the Popular Mobilisation Units (PMU) had secured 43 km of the Akashat-al-Qaim road and an area of 301 km2 (116.2 sq mi) (south of al-Qa'im. It also added that PMU captured al-Qakm cement plant, al-Qaom Quarries, al-Qaim station and the water station. Iraqi Army meanwhile captured villages of Awani, northern Jabab and al-Zalla on southern bank of Euphrates. Army Major-General Qasim al-Muhammadi told Anadolu Agency on the same day that 25 militants were killed in a clash between Iraqi Army and ISIL near T1 area, 40 km of al-Qa'im. He added that a large number of militants also retreated to center of al-Qaim district. Ahmed al-Dulaimi, an Anbar police captain, stated that five militants and two tribal fighters were killed in the same area a day earlier.

The Joint Operations Command (JOC) stated on 28October that pro-Iraqi forces had taken control of large areas to east of al-Qaim, after routing the militants from their hideouts. It also stated that the Iraqi troops had also captured many villages, a bridge on the Euphrates, the al-Qaim railway station, a military airbase, and the Akkas gas field. The JOC added that so far, 75 militants had been killed, while nine SVBIEDs, 10 militant vehicles, and four bomb-making sites had been destroyed, while 378 roadside bombs were defused or detonated. The JOC also reported that 33 villages had been recaptured from ISIL, within 2 days of the offensive. The Defence Ministry stated on 29October that Iraqi aeroplanes had dropped thousands of leaflets in ISIL-held areas of Anbar, urging militants to surrender. An Iraqi security source stated on the same day that ISIL fighters had fled towards Al-Bukamal in Syria, after many leaders fled and were killed in airstrikes. Meanwhile, Qatari al-Samarmad, a PMU commander, stated that Ra'ed al-Atouri, the ISIL military official of al-Qa'im, and six of his companions had been killed by Iraqi warplanes.

By 31October, Iraqi forces had reached the edge of al-Qaim. The JOC announced that Iraqi forces, backed by United States' aerial strikes and Sunni tribal fighters, had captured the village of al-Obeidi, adding that even though ISIL resisted the advance of the troops, the majority retreated to centre of al-Qaim. Yarallah stated that they had also captured a cement plant and a phosphate processing facility. He added that they also took control of a nearby residential complex, nine villages around Obeidi as well as large areas of Akkas gas field. Army Brigadier-General Numaan Abdul-Zobai said that they also captured villages of Rafedah and Al-Kasim to west of al-Qaim. Minister of Oil Jabar al-Luaibi stated on 2 November that Iraq forces had captured the Akkas gas field. Major-General Numaan Abd al-Zawbaei, commander of the army's 7th Division, said on the same day that regular troops backed by the PMU had captured Al-Saada area, and the nearby villages of Jereejib and Qunaitera, west of Al-Qaim, killing several militants and destroying a number of booby-trapped vehicles.

On 3November, the Iraqi Army captured the Abu Kamal-Al-Qa'im border crossing. The JOC announced they had entered al-Qa'im as well. The PMU captured the town's train station, as well as the al-Karabilah neighbourhood during the day, while also entering the Gaza neighbourhood. Later on the same day, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced that Iraqi Government forces had captured al-Qa'im. Iraqi Government forces also recaptured the rest of the Al-Qa'im District. This stripped ISIL of all its border crossings along the Iraqi–Syrian border, and left only Rawa under ISIL rule.

Interlude
Following the loss of the border city of Al-Qa'im and Deir ez-Zor, Al-Bukamal in Syria was the last town of note under their full control, where they were expected to make their final stand. ISIL forces also began massing at Al-Bukamal, boosted by the retreating ISIL fighters from Iraq. On 5November, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) claimed that ISIL had driven out PMU out of Al-Bukamal's countryside. However Kata'ib Hezbollah spokesman Jaafar al-Husseini stated that they clashed with ISIL just metres from border with Syria and fired rockets into Syria, adding that their forces did not cross into Syria.

Rawa
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi stated on 11November that the Iraqi forces were launching an operation to push militants out of an area in western Iraq. The offensive to recapture Rawa was launched during the day. Two Iraqi divisions and Sunni tribal fighters carried out the operation. Yarallah said that the troops had captured Rumana and its bridge, along with 10 other villages. Iraqi Army Col. Waleed al-Dulaimi told Anadolu Agency that Iraqi forces captured six villages on 13November. He added that militants had fled from the villages towards the desert north-west of the city of Rawa. Lieutenant-General Abdul Amir Yarallah stated on 15 November that they had killed 48 militants during the past three days while capturing 13 villages.

Iraqi military stated on 17November that security forces had penetrated into Rawa. Yarallah of the JOC stated that Iraqi troops and paramilitary forces had started the push at dawn and had captured four neighbourhoods after some hours. Iraqi forces captured Rawa later in the day. Yarallah stated that the government troops and paramilitary units "liberated the whole of Rawa and raised the Iraqi flag on all of its official buildings." Prime Minister al-Abadi congratulated Iraqi armed forces and people, saying Rawa was retaken in record time. He stated: "Liberation of Rawa district in mere hours reflects the great strength and power of our heroic armed forces and the successful planning for battles." A military spokesman stated, "With the liberation of Rawa we can say all the areas in which Daesh is present have been liberated." He added that Iraqi forces will pursue the militants who fled into the desert and exert control over Iraq's borders.

Al-Jazirah Desert
Prime Minister al-Abadi stated on 21November that while ISIL was already defeated from a military perspective, he would declare the final victory only after it were defeated in the desert areas. On 23November, Iraqi forces announced the launch of an offensive to clear the desert bordering Syria. Army, police and paramilitary units advanced into areas of Saladin, Nineveh and Anbar Governorates forming part of the region called al-Jazira.

Iraqi forces stated on 24November that ISIL was withdrawing deep into the desert to escape the offensive. The PMF stated its forces had taken control of 77 villages since the launch of the offensive. It added that five militants were killed south of Hatra, but otherwise the militants put up little resistance. It also stated that it had taken control of an airfield in the same area, where they discovered underground warehouses used by the militants. The Iraqi military later stated that the forces had captured 45 villages, clearing some 2,400 km2 (926.6 sq mi) on 24 November.

The Iraqi military stated on 27November that it was facing a tough battle against the militants, in deep gorges and other natural hideouts in the western desert. Gen. Yahya Rasoul, JOC spokesman, declared that the first phase was over and they had retaken half of the around 29,000 km2 (11,197 sq mi). desert area. Iraqi forces announced a new phase on 8 December against the remaining militant holdouts in the western desert.

Prime Minister al-Abadi declared final victory over ISIL on 9December after Iraqi forces drove away the last remnants. Iraqi military stated that the forces had recaptured the last areas still under the group's control. Yarallah stated that the troops had taken control of over 90 villages and cleared 19,600 km2 of land during the last operation over the past day.

Aftermath
On 10 December, Iraqi forces held a military parade in Baghdad's Green Zone to celebrate their victory over ISIL. Prime Minister al-Abadi declared that 10 December would become a new annual holiday for Iraq. Following their victory, Iraqi forces expected a new phase of insurgency from the remaining ISIL elements.

Armies of Arcana

Armies of Arcana is a fantasy-based tabletop wargame created by Thane's Games. It is commonly played with 15mm or 28mm scale miniatures representing troops of various fantasy races and creatures. There are 16 core armies that can be played, including elves, dwarves, orcs, and multiple human races, but other armies have been made "official" on the Thane's Games website. Numerous monsters are also available for any army to use in their battles. The background for the game is largely open for individual players to customise themselves and not feel restricted by one "official" account of relations between races. This removes the common problem in miniature wargames of some pairs of players armies having no "excuse" to fight each other. However, a coordinated background development project is under way at the Armies of Arcana forum.

Although it provides 16 basic armies, Armies of Arcana was created to allow players to use any miniature they want, so a point system was created to enable players to create their own troops that could still be equally matched against existing soldiers.

Demons
The Dark Elves brought Demons to Arcana in search for allies, but their alliance soon crumbled. The demons are now stuck on Arcana with no means of getting back to their chaotic homeworld, but the demon lords seem more than happy to conquer the "lesser" races of Arcana.

Dwarves
The Dwarves are one of the oldest races of Arcana. They live underground and have managed to avoid much of the conflict on the surface, though they lost most of their magic during the Elven Mage Wars.

Dark Elves
Dark Elves believe that they are the superior race of Arcana, and thus enslave humans and orcs alike, as well as hunt lizard-men, beast-men, and goblins for sport. Captives of the lesser races are sacrificed, and many nobles engage in ritual combat with slaves.

High Elves
As the superior race of Arcana, High Elves believe it is their duty to teach and enlighten the lesser races. Thus High Elves support friendly relationships with peaceful allies, and often engage in trading with them. High elves are sea-farers, and all of their cities are coastal.

Sylvan Elves
Sylvan Elves believe that they are the defenders of Arcana. Unlike their brethren, they have abandoned the cities and now live in a natural affinity with the forests. Sylvan Elves take pride in the many kinds of plants they grow, and will willingly trade this with other friendly races. Though Sylvan elves do not seek war, they will defend their homelands when in danger.

Humans
Much of the race was enslaved by the elves while they were still living in barbaric tribes. Many slaves escaped back to their wild cousins with knowledge of elven civilization - for this reason, much of human civilization works like elven civilization. The humans have since been mostly freed of elven bondage, and many small empires have developed across Arcana. Barbarian tribes still exist in the wilder areas of Arcana as well.

Other armies included and described in the 5th edition book are Orcs, The Giant Kings, Halflings and Centaurs, Goblins, Undead, Beastmen, Lizardmen, and Hogs.

Parable of the Great Banquet

The Parable of the Great Banquet or the Wedding Feast or the Marriage of the King's Son is a parable told by Jesus in the New Testament, found in Matthew 22:1–14 and Luke 14:15–24.

It is not to be confused with a different Parable of the Wedding Feast recorded in the Gospel of Luke.

Context and narrative
In Matthew, the parable is in reply to the chief priests and Pharisees questioning Jesus' authority. In Luke, the parable is in reply to someone saying, "Blessed is the one who will dine in the kingdom of God." The parable is about a Seudat Nissuin, which Jews in New Testament times were required to attend.

The version of the parable in the Gospel of Matthew is as follows:

The version of in the Gospel of Luke is somewhat shorter, and refers only to a banquet rather than a wedding feast:

The non-canonical Gospel of Thomas also includes the parable as saying 64; its version is quite close to Luke's, although ends slightly differently with a conclusion that "Buyers and traders [will] not enter the places of my father."

Interpretation
The classical interpretation of Matthew's version of the parable is that the king is God; the king's son is Jesus himself; the original invited guests are the Jews; the king's servants who are attacked are God's prophets; and the new guests are the Gentiles and other "unworthy". The eschatological image of a wedding used by Matthew also occurs in the parable of the Faithful Servant and the parable of the Ten Virgins. The original invitation to the Jews is extended to also include Gentiles. In Luke, the invitation is extended particularly to the "poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame" (Luke 14:21), evidencing explicit concern for the "poor and the outcasts."

In early Christianity, the parable may have been taken more openly as a direct reference to Jews who did not convert to Christianity; in particular, the reference in Matthew to the king sending his armies, destroying the murderers, and burning their city seems to be a reference to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 by Roman armies. Later Christian interpretations have adjusted the original guests more generally to be the already religious who have no time for God, including Christians: they are people who accepted an invitation, but when the food is ready, claim they are too busy to turn up.

Matthew's version additionally suggests that even some of the newly invited guests are not worthy of sitting at the table, if they are not wearing a proper wedding garment. What exactly the wedding garment symbolizes is not generally agreed upon among Christian theologians. Some commentators suggest that the wedding clothes or garment in this parable were provided by the host, but this is unlikely to be the intended implication. Augustine of Hippo interpreted the garment as symbolizing charity, an interpretation not widely accepted even in medieval times. Martin Luther suggested that the garment represented Christ himself. John Calvin felt these controversies in interpreting the meaning of the "wedding garment" were overblown:

"As to the wedding garment, is it faith, or is it a holy life? This is a useless controversy; for faith cannot be separated from good works, nor do good works proceed from any other source than from faith. Christ intended only to state that the Lord calls us on the express condition of our being renewed by the Spirit[...] and that, in order to our remaining permanently in his house, we must put off the old man with his pollutions[...] and lead a new life."

Other commentators focus on the role of clothing (or, in this case, the lack of appropriate clothing) in the New Testament (see Biblical clothing). Bernard Brandon Scott notes that the parable immediately follows the parable of the Wicked Husbandmen in Matthew, and that the harsh treatment of the man without wedding clothes is related to the harsh treatment of the bad tenants in that parable: people hired or invited by the king (God) who do not perform their duties.

In the Gospel of Thomas, the parable "becomes an exhortation against the affairs of business and a life of gain," reflecting Gnosticism's prizing of ascetic lifestyles.

Historicity
The parable appears in three major works, suggesting it was possibly in the Q source, a hypothetical theorized document or source of sayings of Jesus from the oral tradition of early Christians that later gospel writers drew on. Matthew's version and the version in Luke and Thomas do not entirely line up; textual critics generally suspect it is more likely that it is Matthew's version that drifted from the original, as parts of it seem to be an explanation of the destruction of Jerusalem as divine punishment too closely. Matthew's version makes more sense for a church that has many more Gentiles in it than the one at the time of Jesus's death and additionally has knowledge of the outcome of the First Jewish–Roman War.

Art and hymnody
The parable has been depicted by artists such as Bernardo Cavallino, Jan Luyken, and John Everett Millais.

A number of Christian hymns have been inspired by the parable, such as "All is ready" by Fanny Crosby, and "All Things are Ready" by Charles H. Gabriel, which begins:

"All things are ready," come to the feast! Come, for the table now is spread; Ye famishing, ye weary, come, And thou shalt be richly fed.

Music
The topic was the prescribed reading for the Second Sunday after Trinity and Twentieth Sunday after Trinity. For the first occasion Bach composed cantatas Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes, BWV 76 in 1723 and Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein, BWV 2 in 1724. For the second occasion he wrote Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele, BWV 180 in 1724.

A gaijin enquires
Shinto shrines do not have "a place for propagation"? You mean a bed? Something has gone wrong in this translation!Writtenright 22:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)Writtenright

 * "Propagation" means "spreading the faith." See meaning b at Merriam-Webster. For an example of usage, see the article Society for the Propagation of the Faith. It may not be the exact word, but it's a lot more plausible than a bed. Fg2 02:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Would "proselytize" be better in the two places the article uses "propagate"? Whogue 00:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, if it means proselytize, it should be changed. I just came to read this article and was going to leave a comment asking what in the blazes 'propogate' means in this context. I didn't think it had anything to do with reproducing, but that's how I first understood it so I was seriously confused. This usage of the term 'propogate' seems rather arcane and most readers are not going to get 'proselytize' out of it (I sure didn't). —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:35, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Article title: Shinto shrine (no macron)
The word "Shinto" is English; it's in Merriam-Webster and Oxford with no macron. "Shintō" is the properly romanized form of the Japanese word but it is not English. Naming conventions states, "Name your pages in English and place the native transliteration on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly recognized by readers than the English form." We should therefore use the English word "Shinto" (with no macron) in the article title and body text. Fg2 (talk) 22:48, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

About the article
I would like to junk almost the entire article and rewrite it from scratch because most of the material it contains now is I think unusable. Does anybody disagree? urashimataro (talk) 06:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I would recommend creating one someplace like User:Urashimataro/Shinto shrine, then posting a note here once you are done with it. That will allow people to compare them and offer suggestions or comments. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Note: I would keep the list of national treasures, which is valuable. Besides, if you forge the lists, little of the original is left already. Nothing much would be lost. urashimataro (talk) 06:34, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

 * All of those Japanese ideographs add nothing to the article, and should be deleted en masse, and replaced with a phonetic description of each the sounds, and each of them should have an etymology whenever and wherever possible.  <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Types of shrine
In the first part of the article I say:

 * This single English term however translates several, not always equivalent Japanese words, including jinja (神社, jinja) as in Yasukuni Jinja, yashiro (社, yashiro) as in Tsubaki Ōkami Yashiro, miya (宮, miya) as in Watarai no Miya, -gū (宮, -gū) as in Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū, jingū (神宮, jingū) as in Meiji Jingū, taisha (大社, taisha) as in Izumo Taisha and hokora/hokura (神庫) or mori (杜, mori?) as in the case of some special shrine buildings.

I do not specify the differences between the names because I do not know what they are with certainty. I know that a jungu enshrines an imperial family member but can't reference this fact reliably. If someone knows something about this, a paragraph on the subject would be much needed. urashimataro (talk) 05:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

The photo of Moto Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū shrine
The photo of Moto Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū shrine is thought that this image is improper to represent the Shinto shrine.

Please let me hear the reason to which the image of the oldest Shinto shrine (national treasure of Japan) in Japan that is the image that I arranged and the image of the Shinto shrine of World Heritage are improper. --663highland (talk) 07:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I chose this image specifically because it consists of just the two elements that are necessary to a Shinto shrine: a shinden and a torii. It completes the description to its left and is part of it. This is why it's preferable to the photo of a great shrine. Please read the introduction, and you will see what I mean.

commodities
I was wondering what kind of stuff there is to do at a Shinto jinja shrine. Is it true that they sell fortunes, talismans, prayers, and purifications? If not, how does the shrine owner make money? Thankyou. Jecowa (talk) 04:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC) Yes, it's true. All these things are on sale, and the shrine does make money selling them. The faithful also make donations, and pay for having kami transferred in objects they own. See Kanjō urashimataro (talk) 04:18, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

-I agree, there should be more about what one generally *does* at a Shinto shrine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:30, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Capitalization of "shrine" in title
The common noun "shrine" should not be capitalized; neither "church" nor "temple" is. Only specific ones are capitalized; this article is not about a specific shrine. The Catholic Church is capitalized as an institution, not as a building. If there is or were to be an article on Catholic churches, "churches" would not be capitalized. So a lowercase "s" for "shrine" is analogous to churches and temples. Fg2 (talk) 10:59, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Revert
I reverted and edit by Muriemon. The edit summary here justifies the deletion of one sentence and its explicit, verifying inline citation with an assertion — "not fact"?

The cited support is in German —
 * Hachiman ist eine der einflussreichsten japanischen Gottheiten und verfügt über ein Netzwerk von etwa 25.000 in ganz Japan verteilten Zweigschreinen. Er wurde ursprünglich in Kyushu (im Usa Hachiman-gū) verehrt, aber schon in der Nara- und Heian-Zeit verlagerte sich das Zentrum seines Kults zuerst nach Nara, dann nach Kyoto (Iwashimizu Hachiman-gū). Die Hachiman Schreine von Usa und Kyoto gelten daher als die Hauptschreine Hachimans. Noch populärer und historisch ebenso bedeutsam ist jedoch der Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū in Kamakura ... und u.a. für einen über 700 Jahre alten Ginkgo Baum bekannt.

This is a rough Google-translated version of the German text —
 * Hachiman is one of the most influential Japanese deities and has a network of about 25,000 shrines throughout Japan distributed in class. He was originally in Kyushu (in the Usa Hachiman-gū) worshiped, but already in the Nara and Heianera shifted the center of his cult at first to Nara, then to Kyoto (Iwashimizu Hachiman-gū). The Usa Hachiman shrines of Kyoto and are therefore considered as the main Hachiman shrines. Even more popular and historically as important, however, the Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū in Kamakura ... and include a 700-year-old ginkgo tree known.

The Austrian web site is wrong about the tree -- see here. I hope the tree does survive, despite being uprooted in March here. With regret, I have to accept that this ancient ginkgo tree no longer lives; but otherwise, the disputed paragraph is correct.

This revert is informed by WP:V which explains, The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true. In this instance, the revert is not inconsistent with WP:RS. The site's relationship with Institut für Ostasienkunde der Universität Wien (Institute of East Asian Studies at the University of Vienna) seems relevant. --Tenmei (talk) 15:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree with the revert. The site was written by Bernhard Scheid, who isn't just anybody. He is a Japanologist of worldwide reputation. If Muriemon wants to delete this sentence he'd better support his decision with facts.Frank (Urashima Tarō) (talk) 20:15, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I have re-written the disputed sentence narrowly here. In my view, this version more closely mirrors the cited text.  In addition, I created Bernhard Scheid to help clarify credibility of the academic website source. I hope this helps move towards a constructive resolution of any unstated issues. --Tenmei (talk) 03:15, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

1,000,000,000,000 shrines
The article says: There are estimated to be about 1,000,000,000,000 shrines in Japan. Can this possibly be correct, or is it mischief that's come in under the radar? That would be quite a lot of shrines per capita. It's sourced to Breen, but no page number, so I was hoping someone more familiar with the article might be able to check more easily what the correct number should be. Cynwolfe (talk) 16:08, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you. There are about 80,000+ Shinto shrines in Japan. --Ansei (talk) 20:07, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Shrines withIn Buddhist temples
After an email exchange with a monk at Kenchōji, a major temple  in Kamakura, I am convinced a distinction between independent Shintō shrines and shrines at Buddhist temples is necessary. In an article I had called the two shrines the temple owns "Shinto shrines". He replied that indeed the temple owns two shrines, but that they have nothing to do with Shintō. What he meant is that they are dedicated to kami worship, and have nothing to do with the institution of Shintō. He was very firm about this.

I am aware that this distinction would be independent research, and this is why I only write a note. But Wikipedia deserves food for thought. Frank (Urashima Tarō) (talk) 22:02, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Inquiring about the addition of current role of shrines in society and miko
Hello! I have been doing some research for a class project about editing Wikipedia and I have been tasked with reading through this article and seeing what information can be edited into, out of, or just adjusted in order to better represent the subject in a level and thorough view. From what I have observed, I believe this article would benefit greatly from having a segment detailing the role shrines play in current Japanese society such as festivals surrounding any given ritual or time of year. Furthermore, a small segment about the shrine maidens would likely help balance out the details of those who work at the shrine daily to conduct rites of worship and daily with the segment about the priests, given their prominent history and prevalence at these shrines.

New student editor
Hello! I am a student who has been given the opportunity to edit and work on a Wikipedia article, and decided on this one. In my class we are discussing the destruction of images and structures, and in this article I have noticed that it is not discussed and was wondering if the inclusion of a section on the destruction of Shinto shrines would be okay to write about? I also have noticed that this article contains a lot of information, and goes further into detail in certain areas of the writing when it isn't necessary. I was wondering if it would be okay to edit the articles length, take out a lot of excess detailing, and rearrange the article so that it has some sort of flow. Thank you!Tuh20608 (talk) 02:20, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Tuh20608, welcome! All of those would be good things to do, but before you launch into a major re-structuring I'd start with some smaller edits, for example adding a section or removing superfluous wording, to build up experience. Make sure that when you add material you always accompany it with in-line citations, and that your facts come not from your own personal knowledge but from reliable published sources. That is important. Adding citations can seem a bit tricky at first, but if you make an effort in good faith other editors will often be happy to come along and sort out any beginner errors. When you are ready to do something more substantial, such as re-structuring the article, it would be a good idea to explain your proposals on the talk page first, to make sure that other editors don't disagree with your general course of action.
 * By the way, new queries normally go right at the bottom of the talk page, in a new section - which is where they get most visibility. I've moved your query down to the bottom for that reason. Welcome again, and have fun! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:33, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

New student editor Shinto shrine edits
Hi. I have finished the edits to the article. I took out certain sections that I didn't think would be necessary. I excluded the section on The Arrival of Buddhism, but I could easily keep it in. I also have reorganized the article so that the information would flow a tad better. I took out a lot of information, tried to fix the grammatical errors, and make it less wordy. In the edits that I have done in my sandbox, I have condensed the Early Origins section down so that it wasn't broken up into multiple sections. I also put the section on architecture and structure together, but broke them both down into two sub sections, and included them after the section on Early Origins. After that, I edited re-enshrinement, and the destruction of shrines. Everything else I excluded, but could still keep up? Thank you. Tuh20608 (talk) 00:19, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , Hi! I noticed your two messages on talk, and wanted to welcome you. I really value student editors here and it's great that you are reaching out. When I read your first message in July, I was impressed with the fact that you chose Shinto shrine as a topic for your class on Destroying images-Iconoclasm -- I get it! I'll look over the edits in your sandbox in the next week or so, and compare them to what is already in the article, and leave you some feedback. When does the semester end for you? Best regards, Netherzone (talk) 00:35, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi! My semester actually ends today, but I am going to continue the coursework until the start of the fall semester. Tuh20608 (talk) 02:10, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , you made some really huge edits, and altho boldness is appreciated, it's sometimes good to discuss beforehand. Don't be surprised if some of the edits are reverted. I don't have time to look into the removals right now, but I did notice that some of your edits introduced errors, and others removed citations to reliable sources. Were there factual errors? I am also wondering if you use the Preview feature beforehand to check your edits before publishing, and also why you decided to remove sources (references). Was there a problem with them? Netherzone (talk) 02:30, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , the August 3 edits by are very concerning in just how extensive and deletion-heavy they are, especially given their unilateral nature. More concerning is the fact that more than a month has passed since your last message and Tuh20608 hasn't responded in any way, nor have they been active since then. My editing experience on this site is admittedly very sporadic, but it's been ingrained to me by past precedent that such major changes aren't supposed to happen without sufficient discussion where valid justifications for them are provided. In the continued absence of such justification, I feel it's quite justifiable to restore all of the deleted info. MarqFJA87 (talk) 22:11, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello thank you for your message here. This issue dropped off my radar screen as my job kicked into high gear at the beginning of September, I'm grateful for your reminder and to hear your thoughts. The changes by  seemed very problematic to me, and as you mention they have not responded in 2 months. I doubt they will be back but I'm adding a courtesy ping. I'd suggest reverting the edits if you are comfortable doing so. If you'd rather I do that, please ping me and let me know. Thank you again. Netherzone (talk) 22:20, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I would love to,, although I'll admit that I've never tried to undo every edit since the earliest problematic one and then manually redo the ones that were made after all the problematic ones, given that the last apparently counting as "intervening edits" (thus preventing me from simply undoing Tuh0608's edits alone). I could give it a try as long as you'll excuse any hopefully minor errors in my attempt. MarqFJA87 (talk) 22:26, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I've restored the article to the version before the student editor arrived. You are right, it would have been extremely complex and time consuming to try to do it manually. There were a few edits after the student's sweeping deletions; these may have been attempts to correct what the student had deleted. If you wouldn't mind looking through those other editors edits, and I will do the same, to see if there is content that we should restore to the article. Thanks again for the heads up, and nice to meet you here. Netherzone (talk) 22:48, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

List of Northamptonshire County Cricket Club grounds

Northamptonshire County Cricket Club was established on 31 July 1878. The county entered the Minor Counties Championship in 1895 and competed in the competition until 1904, after which it was elevated to first-class status for the 1905 season. It has since played first-class cricket from 1905, List A cricket from 1963 and Twenty20 cricket from 2003, using a different number of home grounds during that time. The County Ground in Northampton has played host to the club's first home fixtures in all three formats of the game; in first-class cricket in 1905 against Leicestershire; in List A cricket in 1963 against Warwickshire; and in Twenty20 cricket against Somerset in 2003. Northamptonshire have played home matches at sixteen grounds, but have played the majority of their home fixtures at the County Ground, which has also held One Day Internationals.

The sixteen grounds that Northamptonshire have used for home matches since 1895 are listed below, with statistics complete through to the end of the 2014 season.

Intermediate value theorem

The intermediate value theorem (sometimes abbreviated IVT) is a theorem about continuous functions. Recall that we call a function f continuous at the point c if $$\lim_{x \to c} f(x) = f(c)$$.

Formal statement
If f is a continuous function on a closed interval [a, b], then for all w between f(a) and f(b), there exists a c with the property that $$a \leq c \leq b$$ such that f(c) = w.

Meaning
Since the formal mathematical statement is sometimes hard to understand, we can illustrate the theorem with an example. If the temperature outside is 55 degrees at 7 in the morning, and rises to 85 degrees by noon, we know that at some point during the day, the temperature must have been 67 degrees. This is essentially what the intermediate value theorem is stating. While we might not have any idea when it was 67 degrees, we know it had to be 67 degrees sometime between 7 am and noon, because temperature doesn't "jump" from degree to degree. It fluctuates in a continuous fashion.

How is it used?
The illustration in the above section makes the the IVT seem a bit trivial. In mathematics, we often encounter such examples of seemingly trivial statements that end up being very useful. We'll show how to use the IVT below.

Example
Show that the equation $$\sin x + x = 1$$ has a solution between x = 0 and x = π.

Solution
We will use the IVT to solve this problem. Before we begin, we note that the question is asking us to show that the equation has a solution on the interval [0, π], not actually find the value of x that would make the equation true.

Let $$f(x) = \sin x + x$$. We want to use the IVT with this particular f, so we first have to check that f is continuous. Since $$g(x) = \sin x$$ is continuous everywhere and $$h(x) = x$$ is also continous everywhere, and the sum of two continuous functions is continuous, $$f = g + h$$ is a continous function.

Note further that f(0) = 0 and f(π) = π. So, if we're following along with the formal statement of the IVT, we would say that our a is 0 and our b is π, and thus our f(a) = 0 and our f(b) is π. Notice that $$0 = f(0) \leq 1 \leq \pi = f(\pi)$$, so we can assign the value 1 to the variable w in the statement of the IVT. Thus the conclusion of the theorem is true, and there exists a c, somewhere between 0 and π with the property that f(c) = 1. Since $$f(x) = \sin x + x$$, we now have that there is a c between 0 and π with the property that $$\sin c + c = 1$$. We have finished solving the problem.

Commentary
Notice that we didn't actually find the value of c that would "solve" the equation, but we didn't have to. The IVT doesn't help us find these values, but just tells us that they exist. If we wanted to actually find a solution to the equation in question, then we would have to try another approach. What the IVT tells us about the equation $$\sin x + x = 1$$ is that if we wanted to find a solution, we're not searching for something that doesn't even exist.

The Theory Behind This
The truth of the IVT depends on the numbers being "Dedekind complete", which is a property of the real numbers. The theorem is not true when only rational numbers are used. See Real Numbers and Dedekind Cut for a discussion of how the construction of the real numbers makes this theorem true.

StarTimes Sports

StarTimes Sports is a chain of pay-television sports broadcasting channels operated by StarTimes in sub-Saharan Africa.

History
StarTimes first foray into sports broadcasting was in 2012, when it purchased a package of Italian Serie A games to air one a week on its StarTimes KungFu channel. In 2013 StarTimes purchased a package to air one French Ligue 1 game everyweek also on its StarTimes KungFu channel.

On 19 July 2014, StarTimes Sports 2 was launched as the first channel in the StarTimes Sports channel chain. This was informed due to StarTimes taking in more sporting content as its satellite TV service expanded. The new channel was to air football games from the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying tournament, the French Ligue 1 and 2014 International Champions Cup.

On 1 June 2015, StarTimes added a third sports channel to the chain, StarTimes Sports Premium, this was after StarTimes Sports Focus was added earlier in the year.

Later on, in August 2015, StarTimes Sports Life and World Football were added to the StarTimes EPG bringing the total number of StarTimes Sports channels to five. StarTimes Sports 2 has since been rebranded to StarTimes Sports Arena.

StarTimes Sports channels also serve as a home for some football club tv channels in sub-Saharan africa, some of which include Barca TV, Roma TV, Chelsea TV, Arsenal TV, MUTV, Dortmund TV and Juventus TV. StarTimes Sports broadcasts a variety of other sporting events apart from association football, ranging from tennis, cricket, rugby, badminton, table tennis, motorsport, boxing and volleyball.

Scandium compounds

 * }
 * 53.5||74.5||90.0||103.2||86.1
 * }

Scandium compounds are compounds containing the element scandium. The chemistry of scandium is almost completely dominated by the trivalent ion, Sc3+, due to its electron configuration, [Ar] 3d14s2. The radii of M3+ ions in the table below indicate that the chemical properties of scandium ions have more in common with yttrium ions than with aluminium ions. In part because of this similarity, scandium is often classified as a lanthanide-like element.

Oxides and hydroxides
The oxide scandium oxide and the hydroxide scandium(III) hydroxide are amphoteric:
 * + 3 →  (scandate ion)
 * + 3 + 3  →

α- and γ-ScOOH are isostructural with their aluminium hydroxide oxide counterparts. Solutions of in water are acidic due to hydrolysis.

Halides and pseudohalides
The halides ScX3, where X= Cl, Br, or I, are very soluble in water, but ScF3 is insoluble. In all four halides, the scandium is 6-coordinated. They can be prepared by reacting scandium oxide or scandium hydroxide with the corresponding acid:

 * Sc(OH)3 + 3 HX → ScX3 + 3 H2O

The halides are Lewis acids; for example, ScF3 dissolves in a solution containing excess fluoride ion to form [ScF6](3−). The coordination number 6 is typical for Sc(III). In the larger Y3+ and La3+ ions, coordination numbers of 8 and 9 are common. Scandium triflate is sometimes used as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic chemistry.

Other oxidation states
Compounds that feature scandium in oxidation states other than +3 are rare but well characterized. The blue-black compound CsScCl3 is one of the simplest. This material adopts a sheet-like structure that exhibits extensive bonding between the scandium(II) centers. Scandium hydride is not well understood, although it appears not to be a saline hydride of Sc(II). As is observed for most elements, a diatomic scandium hydride has been observed spectroscopically at high temperatures in the gas phase. Scandium borides and carbides are non-stoichiometric, as is typical for neighboring elements.

Lower oxidation states (+2, +1, 0) have also been observed in organoscandium compounds.

Organic derivatives
Scandium forms a series of organometallic compounds with cyclopentadienyl ligands (Cp), similar to the behavior of the lanthanides. One example is the chlorine-bridged dimer, [ScCp2Cl]2 and related derivatives of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands.

Latin/Lesson 3-Passive

See discussion for a tutorial on the passive voice and how to use it in Latin, including external links which explain future, imperfect, and present indicative passive verb forms.

I consider commercial textbooks to be inadequate, so I do not believe that this article can wait.

Here are the conjugations for the imperfect passive tenses. The basic rules for going to passive are the following ones.

1. In the first person, add -r if the active ending is a vowel, otherwise change the final constant to an -r. Examples:
 * paro (I prepare) → paror (I am being prepared)
 * aperiebam (I was opening) → aperiebar (I was being opened)
 * defendemus (we will defend) → defendemur (we will be defended)
 * tenebimus (we will hold) → tenebimur (we will be held)

2. In the third person, add -ur. Examples:
 * parat (he prepares) → paratur (he is being prepared)
 * aperiebat (he was opening) → aperiebatur (he was being opened)
 * defendent (they will defend) → defendentur (they will be defended)
 * tenebunt (they will hold) → tenebuntur (they will be held)

3. In the second person, things get more complicated. For the plural, replace "tis" with "mini". Note the exception in "ferre", where "fertis" becomes "ferimini". In the word "ferre", the "rm" letter combination consistently gets separated (ferimus instead of fermus, ferimur instead of fermur and ferimini instead of fermini). For the singular present, take out the active ending, add the thematic vowel (a from -are, e from -ere, i from -ire and nothing from -re, as in ferre) of the verb's infinitive ending and add -ris. Examples:
 * paras (you prepare) → pararis (you are being prepared)
 * tenes (you are holding) → teneris (you are being held)
 * defendis (you are defending) → defenderis (you are being defended)
 * audis (you are listening) → audiris (you are being listened to)
 * defendetis (you will defend) → defendemini (you are being defended)
 * amabis (you will love) → amaberis (you will be loved)

Note the -eris ending in the future passive. The future active bo, bis, bit, bimus, bitis, bunt looks like the third conjugation so the passive bor, beris, bitur, bimur, bimini, buntur looks like the third conjugation. The imperfect passive is bar, baris, batur, bamur, bamini, bantur.

Limaye

Limaye is a family name, common among the Chitpavan Kokanastha Brahmin community in Kokan, Maharashtra, India. The names Karandikar, Dixit and Khasgiwale are supposedly derived from the same clan. The origin of the Limaye/Karandikar/Dixit and Khasgiwale family is believed to be from the Western Coast of India, Maharashtra - Ratnagiri, a Southern District of Konkan - Maharashtra region.

The Kul Daivat (family deity) of this clan is Lakshmi-Keshav situated at Karle, a small village near Ratnagiri. The Kula Devata (female deity) of this family is "Amba Jogai" situated in Central- Eastern Maharashtra- India. The gotra of people named Limaye - Karandikar - Dixit or Khasgiwale is Kapi. This group of people is said to belong to the Chitpawan Kokanas

In the past, several Limayes were royalty in the Maratha court. The Limaye family maintains an intergenerational history book, the Limaye Kulavrittanta. It is published regularly in Marathi using the Devnagiri script.

The Chitpavan Brahmins story of shipwrecked people is similar to the legendary arrival of Bene Israel Jews in the Raigad district. The word "Limaye" actually means "a sailor" in Hebrew "לימאי", which could lend credence to this hypothesis.

Talk:Nicholas Vansittart, 1st Baron Bexley

Poem
This poem was written in his honor, in response to this remark from Lord Bexley's Letter to the Freeholders of Kent: "We are told that the bigots are growing old and fast wearing out. If it be so, why not let us die in peace?" --

Stop, Intellect, in mercy stop, Ye curst Improvements cease: And let poor Nick Vansittart drop Into his grave in peace.

Hide, Knowledge, hide thy rising sun -- Young Freedom, veil thy head; Let nothing good be thought or done Till Nick Vansittart's dead.

Take pity on a dotard's fears, Who much light doth detest; And let his last few drivelling years Be dark as were the rest.

Ye Liberals, whate'er your plan, Be all reforms suspended; In compliment to dear old Van, Let nothing bad be mended.

Ye Papists, whom oppression wrings, Your cry politely cease, And fret your hearts to fiddle-strings, That Van may "die in peace".

1809
The DNB is not so categorical about his reason for not accepting Chancellorship in 1809 -- his wife was ailing and he withdrew from public life to take her for rest cures. DNB mentions Sidmouth and seems well thought out. Is it good to have an article that is almost entirely single sourced? I am not close enough to topic to try editing to accommodate both views -- I put in mention of withdrawal for consistency with mention in Malvern article, so present version contains inconsistency.

Talk:Sarah Mullally

Question about "Dame" style
What is the explanation for her being styled "Dame" when male UK clergy who have subsequently been knighted are not styled as "Sir"? Is there a separate convention (or lack of a convention) for women clergy which allows this? Anglicanus (talk) 13:57, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Male clergy traditionally do not use a helm and crest on their coat of arms either. I think these martial trappings, along with the knightly accolade, were held to be unsuitable for one in holy orders. There is no such military association with the title "Dame". Opera hat (talk) 18:03, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Apparently for knights it makes a difference whether they had the title before they were ordained (they keep it, but they can't gain one while ordained). Dames keep the title either way. Which seems a little ridiculous if it's about earthly glory and ordination, but that's the rules as laid out by the C of E.

Use of 'dame'
In coverage of her appointment to London, none of these significant sources have even once used "Dame Sarah Mullally" or "Dame Sarah". I suggest that this is pretty clear indication that Mullally is not using and does not intend to use her Dame title as Bishop of London. I propose that we omit the title from the first sentence and the infobox, and note her decision to to use it in the appropriate prose section later. DBD 18:35, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * 10 Downing St
 * Diocese of London
 * Church Times (one occurrence in a third-party quote)
 * BBC
 * Telegraph
 * Grauniad (same quote)
 * She is free to use, or not use, any titles that she has been granted. In the same way as she is allowed to use any or all of her given names: just because she doesn't use her middle name, doesn't mean that we remove it from the opening sentence. She is officially Dame Sarah; by leaving it out, we are suggesting that she isn't. She has used it in the past and it is her title. Other sources reporting the announcement have used "dame" (eg The Times, Sky News, ACNS, and the Diocese of Exeter). The reason it was removed the first time, was because there was confusion as to whether she was allowed to use the title. Conversely, Bob Geldof cannot rightfully use the title sir but is regularly referred to as Sir Bob; "sir" is not added to the first line and its use is clarified in the Awards and honours section. I shall be adding dame back to the article, as leaving it out is an error. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 18:25, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree that we should use the title "Dame" as that is officially correct, regardless of whether Mullally uses it or not, and anyway it is far too early to boldly state that "this is pretty clear indication that Mullally is not using and does not intend to use her Dame title as Bishop of London".

Views on abortion
Her views on abortion came from her personal blog and deal about the case of Rick Santorum`s daughter who was born with a disability. What she says in the article seems to relate directly to this specific case. I would like to ask someone to please provide a RS abourt her views on abortion, if she supports abortion only for extreme cases or abortion on demand. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:49, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Although the blog post is in response to a particular case, her discussion of her views do seem to me to reflect the wider issue of abortion. She talks about her "approach to this issue" not her "approach to this case". BabelStone (talk) 17:04, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * As BabelStone says, the quote is her summing up her views towards abortion. It follows on from the previous paragraph: "drives Santorum to talk about the difficult issue of abortion. [para break] I would suspect that I would describe my approach to this issue". You're asking for a reliable sources (I assuming from your use of RS), but her personal blog is fine as per WP:ABOUTSELF. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 17:21, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * And of course, the only reliable source for someone's opinion on a particular issue is that person themself, i.e. in an interview or a self-published discussion such as her blog. I would not consider a newspaper report on her opinion to be more reliable to her own words. BabelStone (talk) 17:30, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Lent Talks
This article could mention that in 2021, Mullally presented the last of the Lent Talks, but I am not sure where this would best go in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rollo August (talk • contribs) 20:38, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Criticism
Unsure how to handle this but Mullally has been and remains in deep trouble in relation to the suicide of Fr Alan Griffin, leading to criticism by the coroner's inquest and by the Bishop of Blackburn in the House of Lords. If Private Eye is to be believed - and it is usually OK for stuff like this - "the catastrophic handling of the allegations by the Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, has led to a dramatic breakdown of trust with her clergy". Those clergy include a further 41 who seem to think Mullally may be complicit in poor handling of allegations, while "some are quietly planning legal action ... others, encouraged by the threatened vote of no confidence that led to the defenestration of the Bishop of Winchester, are now proposing a similar vote against the Bishop of London".

Yes, NOTNEWS applies to some extent but surely something has to be said, especially if anyone has access to reports in mainstream heavyweight newspapers? - Sitush (talk) 11:01, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
