Walters previously coached the Queensland State of Origin team, and the French Catalans Dragons in the British Super League. He has also commentated for Fox League in Australia.

As a first-grade player for the Canberra Raiders and the Brisbane Broncos clubs, Walters was positioned at or  in squads that cumulatively won six premiership titles. He played for the Warrington Wolves in the British Super League, and the Ipswich Jets in the Brisbane Rugby League Premiership. Mostly in the 1990s, Walters represented Australia and Queensland.

Early life
Walters was born in Rockhampton, Queensland in 1967 to parents Kevin (died 2010) and Sandra (died 2013), who had a total of five children, all male: Brett, Steve, Andrew, Kevin and his twin Kerrod.

Walters attended Bremer State High School until gaining a sporting scholarship for Years 11 and 12 at Ipswich Grammar School, where he and his twin became school prefects. Walters grew up playing football with his brothers, in particular Steve and Kerrod, as well as Allan Langer. This combination of players was later referred to as "The Ipswich Connection".

Playing career
From 1983 to 1984, Walters and three of his brothers (Brett, Steve and Kerrod) played for the Booval Swifts club before joining the Ipswich Jets in the Brisbane Rugby League Premiership competition in 1986. The next year, Walters followed Steve to the Canberra Raiders and the New South Wales Rugby League Premiership competition and remained until transferring to the Brisbane Broncos in 1990.

According to the Broncos, Kevin Walters holds the record for most finals' appearances and has played six times in premiership-winning teams; one with the Canberra Raiders (1989) and five with the Brisbane Broncos (1992, 1993, 1997, 1998 and 2000).

Canberra Raiders (1987–1989)
In the 1987 NSWRL season, Walters was a reserve in the Canberra Raiders' first grand final, which they lost 8–18 to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Notwithstanding, he was named the Raiders' Rookie of the Year. In 1989, Walters played from the bench for Canberra in their 19–14 NSWRL Grand Final win against the Balmain Tigers at the Sydney Football Stadium.

Separately, Walters made his debut for the Queensland Maroons in the 1989 State of Origin series as a reserve in game 3 at Lang Park in Brisbane.

Brisbane Broncos (1990–2001)
Walters signed with the Brisbane Broncos in 1990 and played again alongside his twin brother. Head coach Wayne Bennett positioned Walters at. Walters won the Broncos' 1990 Player of the Year award. At representative level, Walters played from the reserve bench for Queensland in all six games of the 1990 and the 1991 State of Origin series. He gained selection for the 1990 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain and France, but only played in tour matches against local sides rather than in Test matches. On the 1991 Kangaroo tour of Papua New Guinea, Walters made his test match debut; he and Kerrod became the first twin brothers to play rugby league for Australia.

Walters played in the 1992 Great Britain Lions tour of Australia and New Zealand that saw Australia retain The Ashes. Later that year, he was part of the Brisbane roster that won the 1992 Grand Final 28–8 against the St George Dragons at Sydney Football Stadium. Steve, Kevin and Kerrod Walters had already become the first trio of brothers to play for Queensland and Australia in 1992, and another milestone was achieved when all three were selected to tour in England with the Australian Rugby League World Cup squad. Australia won the final 10–6. Furthermore, Walters played in Brisbane's 1992 World Club Challenge win over the Wigan Warriors at Central Park in England. In 1993, he was part of Brisbane's 14–6 grand final victory over the St George Dragons at ANZ Stadium, Brisbane.

During the 1994 NSWRL season, Walters played at five-eighth for defending premiers Brisbane when they hosted and lost the 1994 World Club Challenge 14–20 to British champions Wigan Warriors at ANZ Stadium. At the end of the season, Walters went on the 1994 Kangaroo tour.

Walters also played in the 1997 Super League Grand Final victory for Brisbane. Although not a consistent player for the Maroons, Walters was part of the winning 1998 State of Origin team, dummying his way over for a try in the decider. That year, he played at five-eighth in the 1998 NRL grand final and won another premiership with the Broncos. When Allan Langer retired in 1999, Walters became the Brisbane Broncos' team captain. In the second match of the 1999 State of Origin series, he also captained Queensland. In the Broncos' 2000 NRL grand final 14–6 win against the Sydney Roosters at Stadium Australia, Walters captained at halfback, claiming one more premiership ring with the club before moving to England at the request of Allan Langer.

In 2001, Walters played four games for the Warrington Wolves in the English Super League. However, he and his family preferred to be in Australia, so Walters returned to the Brisbane Broncos, played five games and finished his playing career in the 2001 NRL season. In 2003, Walters was one of the first four former players inducted into the Broncos official Hall of Fame. In 2007, Walters was included in a club list of their best twenty best players to date.

Coaching career
Following retirement as a player, Walters started his coaching career with the Toowoomba Clydesdales in the Queensland Cup regional competition as head coach (2001–2003), then the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL as assistant coach (2003–2005, 2015, 2018) and the Queensland Maroons in the State of Origin series as assistant coach (2006–2008, 2014–2015). Each of Walters' stints (2003–2005, 2015, 2018) as an assistant coach at Brisbane was under head coach Wayne Bennett. At the end of the 2005 season, after five successive years without a grand final appearance, Bennett decided to clean-out the coaching staff and removed long-time allies such as Walters, Gary Belcher and Glenn Lazarus. Walters then became head coach of the Ipswich Jets (2007–2008) in the Queensland Cup competition before securing a coaching contract in the English Super League with the France-based Catalans Dragons.

Catalans Dragons (2009–2010)
In 2009, Walters was appointed as the head coach of the Catalans Dragons. The team reached the qualifying semi-final for the Super League Grand Final and finished eighth in the competition after sixteen wins and sixteen losses during the Catalans Dragons 2009 season. In the 2010 season, the Dragons finished fourteenth (last) after six wins and twenty-one losses.

Returning to Australia, Walters was going to coach the Easts Tigers in the Queensland Cup in 2011, but instead joined the Melbourne Storm as an NRL assistant coach under Craig Bellamy, where he remained until the end of the 2013 NRL season. After Melbourne, Walters was appointed in 2014 as the halves' coach for the Newcastle Knights under Wayne Bennett.

Queensland Maroons (2016–2019)
In December 2015, Walters was appointed as head coach of the Queensland State of Origin team after Mal Meninga had to resign on becoming the Australian national rugby league team coach. In both 2016 and 2017, the Maroons achieved a 2–1 series victory over New South Wales. In the 2018 series, New South Wales won 2–1. In the 2019 State of Origin series, Queensland won the first game but suffered a 38–6 loss at Optus Stadium in the second game. In game 3, Queensland lost in the final twenty seconds after New South Wales scored a length of the field try. In September 2020, Walters resigned as the Maroons' head coach after being appointed head coach of the Brisbane Broncos.

Brisbane Broncos (2021–present)
In the 2021 NRL season, Walters made his debut as an NRL head coach. His first victory as such was in round 3 when the Brisbane Broncos defeated the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 24–0 at Suncorp Stadium. By the end of 2021, Brisbane had won a total of seven matches and lost seventeen. They did not qualify for the finals and finished fourteenth on the NRL ladder. In 2022, former South Sydney Rabbitohs captain and prolific football-kicker Adam Reynolds joined Brisbane as and team captain. They won a total of thirteen matches and lost eleven, but missed out on the finals again, finishing ninth.

Brisbane started 2023 with five consecutive wins, including the Battle for Brisbane 18–12 victory on 24 March at Suncorp Stadium against the Dolphins – coached by Walters' former mentor Wayne Bennett – in their inaugural NRL season. Brisbane extended Walters' contract until the end of the 2025 season. At the end of round 10, Brisbane was on top of the 2023 league ladder; however, that changed the following week. By round 25, Brisbane was back in first position and needed to defeat the Melbourne Storm to secure the minor premiership, but a decision to rest eleven of thirteen regular players that match contributed significantly to Brisbane finishing second (two weeks later) on the 2023 ladder after the Penrith Panthers, the minor and major premiers from 2022. Nevertheless, Brisbane went on to qualify for their first grand final in eight years. In the 2023 NRL Grand Final at Accor Stadium against the Penrith Panthers, Brisbane trailed 6–8 at half-time. In the second half, they scored three quick tries to lead 24–8. However, during the last twenty minutes, Brisbane suffered the worst collapse in NRL Grand Final history, losing 26–24.

Personal life
Walters is a carpenter by trade, completing his apprenticeship with MBA Group Training in Canberra. He was awarded Apprentice of the Year in 1988. Walters married long-term partner Narelle Bristow in 2012 and together they have two children, Harry (born 2003) and Ava (born 2005). In total, Walters has five children from two marriages; all of whom play rugby league.

In January 1991, Walters married Kim Alison Facer and together had three children: Jack, Billy (a qualified carpenter) and Jett. Kim died from breast cancer in 1998. With Dr Cherrell Hirst, the then director of the Wesley Breast Clinic, Walters launched The Wesley Hospital Kim Walters Choices Program – a free community service that offers support to people diagnosed with cancer – in Brisbane. In 2017, the program's name changed to The Wesley Hospital Choices Cancer Support Centre with Walters continuing as Patron.

Language Revitalization
Recently, there has been more of a push toward bringing the Ojibwe language back into more common use, through language classes and programs sponsored by universities, sometimes available to non-students, which are essential to passing on the Ojibwe language. These courses mainly target adults and young adults, however there are many resources for all age groups, including online games which provide domains for online language use. There has also been an increased in published children's literature. The increase in materials published in Ojibwe is essential to increasing the number of speakers. Language revitalization through Ojibwe frameworks also allows for cultural concepts to be conveyed through language.

Lucia Borgonzoni

Lucia Borgonzoni (born September 18, 1976) is an Italian politician and member of the Senate of Italy. She served as Undersecretary for Cultural Heritage and Activities in the Conte I Cabinet.

Biography
Daughter of Italian architect Giambattista Borgonzoni and granddaughter of painter and partisan Aldo Borgonzoni [it], Lucia Borgonzoni graduated in Visual Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna with a thesis in Phenomenology of styles. She proceeded to showcase her works in various exhibitions in Italy, and worked both as an interior designer and a bartender at LINK social centre in Bologna.

She joined Northern League in 1992 and attained leadership of Young Padanians Movement in Bologna. In the 2009 provincial elections she was elected to the Provincial council of Bologna within a centre-right coalition. She resigned following her election to the municipal council of Bologna in the 2011 Italian local elections.

In the 2016 municipal elections, she was candidate for Mayor of Bologna for the centre-right coalition; her electoral platform focused on security policies and "giving priority to Bolognesi". Borgonzoni secured a 22.3% result in the first round, but lost the runoff vote to incumber Mayor of Bologna Virginio Merola, who won with 45.4% of the vote.

In the 2018 parliamentary election, Lucia Borgonzoni was elected Member of the Senate in the Emilia-Romagna - 01 constituency. She served as Undersecretary for Cultural Heritage and Activities in the Conte I Cabinet from 2018 to 2019.

In October 2019 Borgonzoni announced her candidacy for President of Emilia-Romagna, backed by a centre-right coalition of League, Brothers of Italy, Forza Italia, The People of Family and other minor parties. In the 2019 regional elections she placed second with 43.63% of the vote, losing to incumbent centre-left President Stefano Bonaccini, who secured a 51.42% result.

Shyroke

Shyróke (Широке; Широкое) is a rural settlement in Kryvyi Rih Raion, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, southern Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Shyroke settlement hromada, one of the hromadas (communities) of Ukraine. Population:

Shyroke is located on the left bank of the Inhulets, several kilometers east and south of the city of Kryvyi Rih.

History
Until 18 July 2020, Shyroke was the administrative center of Shyroke Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven. The area of Shyroke Raion was merged into Kryvyi Rih Raion.

Until 26 January 2024, Shyroke was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Shyroke became a rural settlement.

The settlement was occupied by Russian soldiers at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but was later retaken by Ukrainian troops. Since March 2022, Russian forces have continuously bombarded Shyroke, with and a school, a kindergarten, a village council, and industrial enterprise being destroyed. Almost all the residents of the village left in wake of the war.

Transportation
Shyroke is connected by a road with Kryvyi Rih. It also has access to the highway connecting Kropyvnytskyi and Zaporizhia via Kryvyi Rih and Nikopol.

A film that apparently didn't make a splash upon its 2012 release hasn't been released yet. According to IMDb, the director and stars have no other credits, which probably accounts for the lack of notice. Not to be confused with the 2010 Chilean short film. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:33, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per being TOOSOON. To quote from the article "Blokes is an upcoming Australian film". Okay. The article's sole source Cairns Post, states "Blokes movie filming in Far North" and this was from December 2009. I did find another from December 2009 in North Queensland Register again sharing that it was filming at that time: "NQ blokes star in real Aussie film". And his sponser "Just4Wd", shared some background and we learm that the the fimmaker began writing his script in 2007, but they are not exactly independent. The Townsville Bulletin shares that by January 2010 the film was completed. The film's official website gives no clue to what happened to it over the last three years, but by the trailer it does appear something was shot. And though I am willing to believe IMDB that the thing is still in post-production and something may be released later this year... but pretty much, the lack of coverage shoots this one down. If the author wishes it back for continued work as user's draft, I say let him have it. It is far too premature for article space.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 07:47, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Incubate/Userfy as per previous comment. With this sort of film there's no guarantee when it will be released or if it will be released at all, or that it will be notable if it eventually creeps out on DVD, download, or TV.  And it's not currently meeting WP:NFILM. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:47, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Fine with incubation. As the film has a supposed 2012 release date, the article could benefit from collaborative editing away from mainspace.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:47, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

User:Sj

I'm Samuel Klein, a Wikipedian and sometime Meta-essayist, and passionate about collaborative learning. I build global communities of learning for a children's laptop project. I got the nicest welcome message ever here -- thanks, Trevor!

You can read a few of my thoughts on this page and its subpages.

Interesting pages

 * Biogeochemical Selectiveness of Cedars Over Metamorphic Rocks of the Escambray Complex, Sancti Spíritus, Cuba
 * User:Jmaustin/Books/STEM Challenges - awesome compilation, broken down by topic area

Projects

 * Figure out how to integrate 'learning resource' collections into the WV namespace. There is no other site where learning resources (whatever that means to the people involved) can be modified in place or discussed; it seems like a good fit here.   See for instance the 40-100k entries in the "LRE for schools" portal & search engine.
 * the GLOBE Exchange has something over a million entries in its database; similarly closed in practice though openly licensed.

 * children's lit reading lists
 * Starting a project on Reading with jsgroff. See Introduction to Reading for metadata about learning to read and finding things to read online.

 * other interesting links: Wiki Campus Radio, Open Source Software, Software freedom

faves and raves
Topical:
 * Topic:Instructional design - layered, good detail down to the third tier, passable (if drafty) mapping of overviews onto common academic conception of the topic.

Meta:
 * Steven Arnston's Primer - great intro for students.

Specific courses and projects:
 * Egm's Homework assignments - perfect.

curiosities

 * School:Nonkilling_studies is odd; all current content should be on WB, but perhaps some projects could be designed around it. It is the sort of material that has real-world courses focused on it.

expanding use of WV, WB, and WS
Wikiversity, Wikibooks, and Wikisource all have the potential to fill a void in the free content landscape that schools, teachers, authors, and students all feel.
 * There is no obvious place to publish free primary source materials so that they are actually widely visible and used on the web. Wikisource is awkward for these people to use, and they don't know how to format their works so that they map onto a series of wikipages (with a title page?  how to wrap them together?), or they have a pdf or jpg which doesn't obviously fit there either (so... you upload to Commons with commonsist... then create a blank page for each image?  a gallery?  how does ocr and translation start?)
 * see for instance the 1200+ elements of the World Digital Library, most of which are not yet on Commons or used in WM projects.

 * There is no obvious place to publish learning resources and class materials. If they're not texts they don't belong on wikibooks.  If they are standalone "algebra problem sets"... well, how do you name the relevant page here on WV?

 * If you are making a book out of classroom materials, say handouts and worksheets, it's not clear how to start across {WB, WV}, where to have the master project page describing the whole, or how to generate something once you're done that you could print or hand out.

General thoughts and examples of people who have overcome each of these points are welcome.

testing and love
don't link anything from anywhere.

Grants and fundraising/Construction Engineering Research Grant Group

Link to any subpages this page might have

Construction Engineering Research Grant Composition Group
A repository for co-operative work, initially focussed on fine tuning of research proposals for funding by appropriate foundations and agencies. --Ian Kennedy 12:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Possible Construction Engineering Themes, stated as research questions:

 * What is the value of a view? (Hedonic modelling to aid the town planning, property and construction industries)

 * Why is the construction project late, over-cost and of poor quality? (Reworking, Snag lists, communication, training, communication ...)

 * Why not the Intelligent Office Building, the Intelligent Factory Building, the Intelligent Hospital Building? (Leads to reduced Life-cycle costs, Green building)

 * Why are architects not designing for life-cycle costs? (?)

Introduction to Philosophy/Logic/Modes

Introduction to Philosophy > Logic > Modes

"There can be no smoke without fire."

 * —old proverb

You will need to know about at least two 'modes' before skipping to propositional calculus.

modus ponens
First premise: If you drive too fast, you will have an accident. Second premise: You drive too fast. ___________________________________________ Conclusion: you will have an accident.

Well, that was pretty obvious. Here is another example:

smoke implies fire smoke __________________

fire

Generally: 'From the premises "p implies q" and "p", we can infer "q".'

modus tollens
Sometimes we want to reason backwards:

First premise: If you drive too fast, you will have an accident. Second premise: You will not have an accident. ________________________________________________________________ Conclusion: You do not drive too fast.

The second premise is in the future tense. Only a clairvoyant would assert such a thing in real life. The argument is valid, though it is not possible to know in advance the truth of the second premise.

Here is another example:

smoke implies fire no fire __________________ no smoke

Generally: 'From the premises "p implies q" and "not q", we can infer "not p".

some bad reasoning
smoke implies fire no smoke __________________ no fire

Someone who reasons like this could end up being burned alive in an accident involving smokeless fuel. Whereas modus ponens and modus tollens are examples of deduction, our last example is an example of abduction. It works some of the time, it can suggest what might be the case, but it is unreliable. This logical fallacy is known as denying the antecedent.

We used to have a safety officer who would come from head office and say 'if it is tidy, it is safe'. He concluded things were safe if they were tidy. This did not impress the computer programmers in the department since to be a programmer you need to have a bit of sensitivity to logic. To conclude things were safe if they were tidy, he would have more correctly said 'if it is untidy, it is unsafe', or 'if it is safe, it is tidy'.

The Wikipedia has a long list of different kinds of logical fallacy. I suggest you have a look at it, and read some of the entries. Not only will you find it amusing, it could stop you from being duped by bad arguments.

Removal of Section Headings
I have noticed that someone has been changing the sub-section headings in the transportation section into simple bold text. I assume that this is an attempt to shorten the TOC, however I think it would be better for the article to have a consistent format. Also, this method of heading sections seems to violate the Manual of style, which is supposed to be a standard for all articles. I have changed the bold text back to headings pending further discussion. --Gpyoung talk 23:38, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Turkish section of Chicago?

See my message on your talk page. Dralwik 01:41, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

politics
While Daley is obviously a democrat, city elections are officially non-partisan. Does this fact deserve some mention? Tedernst 20:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I removed the following: All precincts of the city voted for Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004. I verified the contrary at the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners website. For example, in the 50th ward where I live, precinct #s 25,40,41,44,45 voted for Bush over Kerry. It's true that all wards voted Democratic in both elections. <IP_ADDRESS> 00:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I made the above edit, didn't realize I wasn't logged in. WBcoleman 00:17, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

part of O'Hare in Dupage
Where the DuPage County, Illinois page talks about a small part of O'Hare that is in Chicago also being in Dupage has a link to a Maqquest map that doesn't say anything. We need to find a citeable reference for this. This referece is the basis of the Chicago page showing Dupage as well as Cook. -- User:Tedernst
 * Chicago - A very small part of the City of Chicago covering a western section of O'Hare International Airport falls within DuPage County's boundaries.
 * |1AF2|&TI=ORD+%5bChicago+O'Hare+International+Airport%5d+(airport)%2c+Illinois%2c+United+States Microsoft MapPoint shows this ORD map, with the county line clearly visible going through ORD. The entire southwest corner of ORD is in Du Page. Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 17:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Is this reference cited in the article? Seems to me it should be. Tedernst 16:05, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Does it really need to be? I'm not sure we need it. If so, add it. Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 16:31, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

The point is that I deleted the link to Dupage because I didn't realize it was true. If there had been a reference, I might've followed up on it and not caused the problem. Someone then figured out it was my mistake and I'm asking for someone to update the page so some unsuspecting person in the future doesn't do this again. I don't have time to update the page. Tedernst 07:41, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I have verified using US Census map information (at www.census.gov) that Chicago's municipal boundary does in fact cross the Cook County line into DuPage. Kelly Martin 19:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yep, the census map information was referenced before on the earlier Talk page Talk:Chicago%2C_Illinois/Archive2 before it got archived. All of this has long since been researched and confirmed, Part of the City of Chicago is in fact in DuPage, I'm not sure why this was ever under any dispute. MysteriousMystery 23:04, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Without a citation in the article, this non-obvious piece of information will continually be in dispute. With a citation, we'll never hear of it again, I'm quite sure. Tedernst 15:13, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Here is the link from the us census site.

Reputation?...
"Despite its prosperity and reputation as a safe city..." That's funny - I never knew Chicago had such a reputation. Can anyone site a source for this? SINGLES' BAR mitzvah 00:50, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Wild Onions or Garlic?
Can anyone provide a reference to the origin of the name of Chicago. In some areas it is referenced as meaning 'wild onions' or 'skunk' and in the Early Days section of the main article it says "Garlic not onions" or "skunk."

Jasenlee 00:00, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Part of the problem might be an overlap between the terms wild garlic and wild onion in English, and perhaps a different overlap or distinction in the Potawatomi language. Gene Nygaard 04:10, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Chicago City of Neighborhoods
As a Chicagoan, I've heard the phrase "Chicago, City of Neighborhoods"; perhaps the article can go into further depth about the various neighborhoods in Chicago: Chinatown; the Indian restaurants along Devon avenue; the gay and lesbian neighborhoods, etc.

Earthquake
Is this earthquake section necessary at all? You could mention a blurb of it in the climate part (about the fault line) but other than that it is irrelevant as all it did was cause a desk to vibrate. Otherwise we should include blizzards and other natural occurances that are not necessary as well.
 * I agree, there really isn't much of a reason for it.
 * I agree as well, it is of interest as a curiosity but in my mind that is all it is. Jasenlee 22:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Re: People and culture
The information in the people and culture section of this article is really informative. Does anyone know where to get information about the numbers of Asian Indians, Asian Pakistanis, Chinese people in Chicago? I will be more than happy to add that info to the article once I find it.doles 16:03, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

 * That information can be found in the Encyclopedia of Chicago, published last year.Shsilver 23:26, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Silly redirect
Why on earth does Chicago redirect to Chicago, Illinois instead of visa-versa? Answar 23:14, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This is the style adopted at Naming conventions (city names). I suggest that you discuss the issue there if you feel strongly about it.   JeremyA 23:19, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * After reading that page and seeing the opposition involved, it seems that it's one of those illogical conventions that one must deal with (like the US opposition to metric). It just makes us look inferior, when you consider for example Portsmouth and other foreign cities we named ours after and then look at something like this where it's automatically given second-level status. Oh well. Answar 23:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * No style is adopted at Naming conventions (city names) for cities that do not have significant ambiguity issues. The only consensus is to use the city, state convention for names that have actual significant conflicts  and disambiguation pages (e.g., Portland), just like for any Wiki page.  But for a famous city like Chicago, there is considerable dispute as to whether the contrived and cumbersome convention should apply.  The lack of significant conflicts, by the way, is indicated by the fact that the Chicago page is not a disambiguation page, but a redirect to this article.  It seems obvious to me that the Wikipedia convention for common names should apply here, and this article be named Chicago.  --Serge 00:17, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. Jasenlee 22:24, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

 * The basis for the name of this page is an alleged convention. There is a vote on whether the convention should apply in a case where there is no ambiguity issue, such as in Chicago (which is a redirect page to here). Vote here: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (city names) --Serge 06:31, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

One might want to adopt the style of the Associated Press. The AP Stylebook lists cities that stand alone (without state names) in datelines, such as CHICAGO --, PARIS -- , and LONDON --. DavidH 16:58, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Great point DavidH, I agree with that style. Jasenlee 02:22, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Boldly redirecting within the hour. Using this argument as a citation. :-) --Rob 17:58, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

The Chicago Municipal Device (Y-Shaped Figure)
It would be cool to add an image of the Y-Shaped city symbol. I've seen it on some street traffic control boxes, but I don't have a picture.

I suggest the History section should focus on essentials, allowing for a long and more useful separate History article. Rjensen 23:38, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Earthquake
A minor earthquake which wasn't epicentered in Chicago really doesn't deserve as much prominence as it ha sbeen given in this article.Shsilver 14:01, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

 * All right... Could we add it under the last paragraph in the Climate Section? --Isipeoria 22:43, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but... not only do I think it still has too much prominence for something that wasn't even noticed by most Chicagoans, but I question the existence (or at least its misleading name) of the main "2004 Chicago Earthquake" article itself. See its talk page.  TresÁrboles 06:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Chicago, Illinois --> Chicago
I placed a formal request to move the article's name under the supposition that Chicago is a world-class city — that is almost without doubt. If you object to moving the article, please list votes and reasons here. Thanks! --Rob 18:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose. We have a perfectly good standard, and there's no reason to quibble about whether or not every city in the United States is unambiguous or overwhelmingly the most common or whatever.  Gene Nygaard 20:35, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If it's a standard, please cite where it's spelled out. If it's not a standard, please don't say that it is, nor vote based on the premise that it is.  Thanks.  --Serge 19:31, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Naming conventions (city names). Not quite a standard, but a guideline, and the Chicago question has been discussed on the talk page there. Jpers36 04:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Every U.S. city is titled in this format; the only exceptions, I believe, are New York City and Oklahoma City, as the state is part of the city name. Too difficult to decide where to draw the line for everyplace else; how many Akrons are there? MisfitToys 21:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * 16, according to the dis-ambiguation page Akron. Georgia guy 21:28, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair enough; but Chicago is also the name of things besides the city, including the musical play and film. MisfitToys 23:04, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Non-issue. We already have Chicago (disambiguation) for all the other uses of the name, which is referenced at the top of the article.  The Chicago page is currently simply a redirect to Chicago, Illinois.  It should be the other way around.  --Serge 22:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose per above. Shouldn't this discussion be at the bottom of the page? — goethean ॐ 23:07, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Technically, yes, but I thought it would get lost as it is a vote. I'll move it in a second. Conveniently, you can read the supporting positions for it in the "Silly Redirect" section... --Rob 01:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Personally the cities outside of the US need to change to the form city, country.  Vegaswikian 08:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. How many times do we have to go through this? older≠wiser 18:10, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * We will go through "this" repeatedly ad nauseum until you folks stop insisting that your contrived City, State format according to which a bot happens to have generated a bunch of entries is some kind of significant standard or convention. It isn't.  And every entry that has been changed from its original name, like Chicago, to conform to this bizarre bot-generated format, is a blot on Wikipedia and embarrassment to its contributors.  I, for one, will not stop pointing this out until you guys stop making the false claims about your bot-generated format being some kind of bonafide standard.  It's a real shame.  --Serge 20:52, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. There is no Wiki "standard" for naming cities.  There is a controversial proposed city, state convention for U.S. cities.  Since it is proposed and controversial, it is not a basis to be relied on here.  That leaves us with the standard Wiki convention for naming all articles: use the most common name, assuming no significant ambiguity issue.  By that true standard, clearly Chicago is the most appropriate name for this article.  This is axiomatic, and not even subject to a vote, it seems to me, unless the question of whether Chicago is the most common name used to identify this city is at issue, which it isn't.  --Serge 19:26, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * So, go to Category:Cities in Illinois and Category:Towns in Illinois and tell us how many do not follow the standard. We do have a standard here, and it is in fact a much, much stronger standard than many standards explicitly stated to be our standards.  What we don't have is any consensus to change that standard.  Gene Nygaard 20:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * That de facto "standard" is bogus. It was developed artificially by a bot creating most of the city names according to city, state format from a database.  To give it the same weight as a convention naturally adopted by individuals creating one article at a time, which is what you are effectively basing your argument on, is disingenuous.  --Serge 20:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * That is a very good argument for Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (city names), but it doesn't hold much water here. I don't like turning these decisions over to bot handlers either, and that shouldn't be given undue weight in determining what our standard should be.  But this de facto standard shouldn't be attacked on a piecemeal basis on hundreds of different articles, either.  Gene Nygaard 12:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose. There is a de facto standard. Let's not waste time arguing over this stuff endlessly. -Will Beback 21:04, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The reason there is "arguing over this stuff endlessly" is because the bot-generated contrived de facto "standard" you cite is bogus and violates the primary Wikipedia naming principle: use the commonly used name. There is no reason to name this page anything other than Chicago except to comply with this bogus "standard".  Due to the lack of any legitimate reason for the current name, until it gets named back to Chicago, people are going to show up to propose it be changed.  If you really wanted to stop all the "arguing over this stuff endlessly", you would vote to Support the change back to Chicago instead of to Oppose it. --Serge 22:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. And all other cities should be named properly, too. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 21:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If you really wanted all city articles to be named "properly" -- according to their commonly used names, rather than to conform to some arbitrary contrived default format that happened to be used by a bot to generate a bunch of city names -- then you would vote to Support this change. --Serge 22:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Support, logical. I recommend against debating individual votes, though. — Knowledge Seeker দ 03:57, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I support Wikipedia's standard for the state namespacing of all US cities, including Chicago, and even New York City.  See Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (city names) for previous discussions about the standard, including specific mentions of Chicago. Based on this, a few months ago I personally fixed a couple thousand links to point to Chicago, Illinois rather than Chicago. Jpers36 04:11, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Omission of New Eastside
Why is the New Eastside community missing from -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_areas_of_Chicago This is the area bounded by Michigan, Randolph, the River, and the Lake. (or Lake Shore Drive). http://forums.new-eastside.com
 * Is this an official community area? As I understand it there are 77 community areas and did a google search to see if a new one was added. I came up empty. Jasenlee 01:52, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The New Eastside is not a community area. It is a neighborhood of sorts, albeit one whose existence/definition is largely defined by developers.  It's really a part of Community Area 32 (the Loop), though it arguably has much more in common with Streeterville (neighborhood in Community area 08 just on the other side of the river) than with the rest of the (largely business-oriented) Loop - it is dominated by relatively high end, high rise residential buildings.  Babel17 21:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I grew up in Chicago, the 'New Eastside' is not an official community area, similar to 'North Bridge' or 'Shops at the North Bridge'. It is a marketing tool used by realtors to generate interest in moving into the condos and apartment buildings in that area, hence the New Eastside.  As far as I know, it was known as Streeterville.  Although, the 'New Eastside' is east of State Street, the east side of Chicago is located on the Far South Side.

Recent Edits
There have been a number of recent edits with information that is, at the risk of coming off badly, patently incorrect. I already fixed the area codes (I'll include links to NANPA later if necessary), and there are a number of other areas that need to be ammended. I don't have handy research on all of them so it will take some time, but I am going to immediately address (of all things) the deep dish pizza section. Lou Malnati's did not create deep dish pizza, and certainly did not popularize it prior to Pizzeria Uno, since the first Lou Malnati's opened in 1971. Rudy Malnati did, however, work at the place that deep dish pizza was invented (Uno). Perhaps he was the one who invented it while there, though even Malnati's own website doesn't make that strong a claim (it says that he "helped" create it). I am going to edit/revert accordingly. Links supporting this: http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Pizza/PizzaHistory.htm, http://members.cox.net/jjschnebel/ddishpiz.html, http://www.foodreference.com/html/artdeepdishpizza.html, and http://www.loumalnatis.com/about/about.html. Babel17 21:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I have fixed the pizza section, though I probably need to clean up my own sentences as I've been working in a bit of a rush and they don't have the best possible flow. I put in a bit of information on stuffed pizza and Chicago-style thin crust. Similar information is in the Chicago Cuisine article. I felt it was relvant to mention in the main article because the difference in pizza to be had in Chicago as compared with the rest of the country definitely goes well beyond Uno's. (In fact, speaking from anecdotal evidence, as a native I know more Chicagoans who eat stuffed or thin crust pizza than "deep dish" in the Uno's sense.  Also to be noted, many people mis-identify what is actually stuffed pizza as deep dish due to the similarity.)  That was a lot to say on the subject of pizza, but I suppose I'm feeling verbose at the moment. :) At any rate, if anyone so desires, feel free to clean up my edits for style if I don't get to it first.  Thanks.  Babel17 22:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess we must all be careful, then, since even the links you provide for reference say that it is "probably" true and that it is the best "story" about the pizza - from rumor control during World War II, and is so far "undisputed" - although it is still a 'story' of sorts, there is no historical fact recorded (unless we can find it). The difference between deep dish and stuffed is that most of the better stuffed pizzas have less overall crust than the deep dish variety. There are two layers of crust, but neither has much thickness, whereas deep dish pizzas tend to have a thicker bottom crust. Either way, Lou Malnati's website has a direct statement that Rudy Malnati helped create it. However we debate it, we can write this up to give credit where credit is due. Rarelibra 00:01 15 FEB 06 (UTC)
 * I agree that credit should be given where credit is due, and I don't have any interest in taking away anything from Rudy Malnati. I agree that the website for Lou Malnati's says he helped create it; I mentioned that in my original post.  However, that is not quite what the edited text in the article said, and my strong reaction to it was based on the fact that it seemed a bit like an ad for Lou Malnati's.  Since I have seen Wikipedia used before to advance personal/"fanboy"-variety opinions far too often, those types of things get me irritated, and fast.  Assuming you didn't intend that, I apologize if I seemed to overreact.  I will also stipulate there is no definitive historical record on this, but there is a general agreement that Ike Sewell and Uno's are to be credited with the invention, or at least the first popularization of deep dish.  I think the appropriate thing to do would be to go with this consensus and avoid what may border on original research.  Without getting into a lengthy discussion on the problems of incomplete data, bias, or even worse, the poetics of historiography...: The past is always in some doubt anyway, and the best we can do is make a good faith effort to represent what we can best determine to be the "truth."  I think in this case, the Uno's story (story though it may be), is the best we have to go on.  (I would also add the disclaimer that I have no personal bias on this and am not attempting to glorify Pizzeria Uno or get into an OMGBBQWTF-UNOS-IS-BETTER-THAN-MALNATIS!!!!\\\1 type of argument. Not only does that have no place on Wikipedia, but arguing with people on the internet is, well, pointless anyway when you talk about that kind of argument.  And quite frankly, as a matter of personal taste, I'm not a big fan of Uno's /or/ Malnati's.)  Babel17 16:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I have to reply to my own reply, because I just saw that you (Rarelibra) have edited the article and turned it back into a Lou Malnati's ad. There is absolutely no support for the idea that Malnati's is the most recognized name in deep dish.  Hardly.  I doubt it would be the name that would come to mind if you walked around the Loop and did a word association test with "deep dish pizza."  Now, I can't prove that without doing the research, but there is certaintly nothing to back up your claim, and it is absolutely 100% "original research" - minus the research.  I see that you changed the wording so that Rudy Malnati was THE inventor of the deep dish pizza.  This is ridiculous, and I don't want to get into a revert war, but I'm going to change that WITHOUT taking away the partial credit that Malnat deserves.  I don't want to get all ad hominem here, but this makes me think you're a friend of the Malnati family or something.  --update-- I have changed the article and am being very, very careful to be clear about the generally accepted truth without diminishing the accomplishments of either Rudy Malnati or Ike Sewell.  There is NO reason for reinserting the unsupported claims that I have removed.  Babel17 16:44, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the current write-up seems rather fair and complete. As far as the most recognized name in deep dish, that is what Lou Malnati's website states (and Uno/Due does not, nor does any of the other popular deep dish brands of Chicago). As a Chicagoan through and through, I have asked coworkers (city dwellers) about deep dish, and half the time the name is Malnati's. Take that as "research at heart", really. Lou Malnati's will deliver a pizza overnight on dry ice ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD (I've had this done in both Mexico and Germany). Can Uno claim this? Would this qualify as name recognition? BTW I am only sharing friendly debate with you, no advertisement, no revert war, nada. :) Rarelibra 00:47 1MAR06

NPOV
Enough is enough. The cliquish nature of the editing on this article, and the almost nonstop power playing by the well connected few are no secret. There is nothing even remotely NPOV about this article; when an entire category (local image galleries) keeps vanishing purely based on Jasonlee's individual personal preferences, and actual historical events (the Arctic express winter of 1981-2) can't even be mentioned because one of the in-kids living in Florida hasn't heard of it, NPOV has been gutted and left out for the scavengers. I could say something about some of the racial business in some of the related articles, but I think I've made my point.
 * I hesitated at responding to this due to your tone but since you feel so strongly I will. First please log in to Wikipedia if you have such a strong argument rather than just using the IP address of <IP_ADDRESS>. Wikipedia is a community and in order for it to work we need to have forum discussions on our differences. I'll start by saying I'm not perfect and I have gone back and changed my own Wikipedia edits in the past and have even been embarrassed by some of the idiotic mistakes or poor writing I've put down but even still I won't stop working to make Wikipedia better. You see for me Wikipedia is about improving a little bit each day through thousands of people. It's better to make a little tweak here and there than try and make the Sistine Chapel all in one go.
 * Now with that said I personally don't believe I or others monopolize the content of this article but if you really believe that I encourage you to take a few steps. First, research the information you think needs to belong (i.e. Artic Express Winter) and make references in the Cite Sources section. Second take a look at the Wikipedia guidelines. I know that they are long in many cases and hard to remember (I mess them up from time to time and don't know them all) but sometimes you'll find there are really good reasons for these standards if you read them... and what's more sometimes you are wrong. And in the case of the Local Image Galleries I do believe you are wrong and apparently so does JeremyA as he/she cited guidelines at WP:EL for removing this. And finally as a last step I would encourage you to use this discussion page to build a concensus for your beliefs if you have a disagreement. If you have a strong enough argument we'll take a vote and then we can all move on. I assure that this process can work as all of those who were involved in the main article image voting know.
 * Also, I'd be highly interested in learning about the racial content as if it is I'd like to personally take a look and make sure that this is corrected if it is out of line. Please respond with the article titles and what you noticed. Thank you and good day. Jasenlee 07:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I am not sure what this person that will not show who they are, IP address of <IP_ADDRESS>, is getting at. I was raised and live in Chicago.  The winter of 1981-2 was one of the coldest on record.  I believe the coldest day was January 20, 1985 when the tempurature at O'Hare was -27 F, not including wind chill factor.  I don't understand the 'in-kid' in Florida, I thought this page was discussing Chicago.  As far as the racial articles, which ones?  You do not specify.  So far, I don't find the articles offensive.  oclaros1 21:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Theodwin of Liège

Theodwin was prince-bishop of Liège from 1048 to 1075.

Life
Originally from Bavaria, Theodwin was named by Henry III to succeed Wazo as bishop of Liège. In 1049 he led the imperial victory over Dirk IV of Frisia. In 1050-1051 he wrote to Henry I of France encouraging him to take firm action against Berengar of Tours.

In 1066, Theodwin ceded city rights to Huy, the oldest such charter to survive from what is now Belgium. On 23 March 1075 Pope Gregory VII wrote to him reproachfully about the lax clerical discipline in his diocese, urging him to leave the Abbey of Saint-Hubert unmolested.

Theodwin died on 23 June 1075 and was buried in the collegiate church at Huy, which he had built, consecrated and endowed with fifteen prebends.

Kerala Public Service Commission

The Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) is a body created by the Constitution of India to select applicants for civil service jobs in the Indian state of Kerala according to the merits of the applicants and the rules of reservation.

The Head Office of the KPSC is located at Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram, the State Capital. It has three Regional Offices and fourteen District Offices.

The Union Public Service Commission is a body created by the Constitution of India. The Commission advise the Government on all matters relating to civil services referred to it under Article 320 (3) of the Constitution and publish notifications inviting applications for selection to various posts as per the requisitions of the appointing authorities, conduct written test and/or practical tests, physical efficiency test and interview, prepare ranked list based on the performance of the candidates and advise candidates for appointment strictly based on their merit and observing the rules of reservation as and when vacancies are reported.

History
In 1923, the Indian Government established a Public Service Commission to examine the salary structure of the Indian Civil Service and the possibility of transferring some of the duties to provincial services. The commission was composed of five Englishmen and four Indians, with Viscount Lee of Fareham serving as chairman.

The commission also addressed the rate of Indianisation of the Indian Civil Service and the Indian Police. It determined a rate which in 15 years would make the Indian Civil Service with a 50% Indian membership and the same in 25 years for the Indian Police.

It was left largely to the discretion of provincial governments to recruit and exercise control over their services, as deemed proper. As a result of the discretionary powers left to provincial Government, the Government of Madras and Punjab proposed to set up their own public service commissions.

Madras Presidency was the first province in India to establish their own service commission when the Madras Service Commission was established under an Act of the Madras Legislature in 1929, which included more than half of the present-day state of Kerala (Malabar District and South Canara).

There was a Public Service Commissioner in the erstwhile Travancore state whose duty was to select candidates for direct recruitment to various categories of posts under the Government. G.D. Nokes was appointed as the first Public Service Commissioner on 14 June 1936. The Office of the Public Service Commissioner, Travancore continued to function till the integration of Travancore and Cochin States.

In Cochin there was a Staff Selection Board constituted in 1936 to select candidates for initial recruitment to lower posts. In 1947 a three-member Cochin Public Service Commission was constituted under an Act of the State Legislature.

The Travancore-Cochin State was formed on 1 July 1949 by the integration of the two Princely States of Travancore and Cochin. With the integration of the States of Travancore and Cochin on 1 July 1949 a Public Service Commission for the State of Travancore-Cochin was constituted by an Ordinance. There were three members on the Commission including the Chairman. The functions of the Travancore-Cochin Public Service Commission were generally the same as those laid down in the Government of India Act, 1935. Later, when the Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950, the Travancore-Cochin Public Service Commission continued to function under the Constitutional Provisions.

The State of Kerala was formed on 1 November 1956 consequent on the Reorganisation of States. It comprises the former Travancore-Cochin State (except the present Kanyakumari District and Shencottah Taluk of the present Tamil Nadu) and the Malabar District and the Kasargod Taluk of South Kanara District of the then composite Madras State. The public service commissions of Malabar District and South Canara were separated from Madras PSC.

With the formation of the State of Kerala on 1 November 1956 as a result of the reorganisation of States, the Travancore-Cochin Public Service Commission was transformed into the Kerala Public Service Commission. V.K. Velayudhan was the 1st Chairman of Kerala Public Service Commission. The number of the Members of the Commission was increased to Five in 1959, to Seven in 1971, to Eight in 1981, to Nine in 1982, to Thirteen in 1983, to Fourteen in 1984, to Fifteen in 1984 and to the present strength of Eighteen in 2005.

Duties and functions
The duties and functions of the Commission have been laid down in Art. 320 of the constitution of India and Kerala Public Service Commission Rules of Procedure ( come into force from 16th day of August 1976)

 * 1) Recruitment to services & posts under the state through conduct of competitive examinations. This is the regular mode of recruitment where an examination is conducted followed by an interview.
 * 2) Recruitment to services & posts under the Kerala Government by direct selection. This type of recruitment is done to fill immediate/ irregular job vacancies. It is general done through direct interviews, but sometimes, a written test is conducted preceding the interview.
 * 3) Advising on the suitability of officers for appointment on promotion as well as transfer-on-deputation
 * 4) Advising the Government on all matters relating to methods of Recruitment to various services and posts
 * 5) Disciplinary cases relating to different civil services and
 * 6) Miscellaneous matters relating to grant of extra ordinary pensions, reimbursement of legal expenses etc. ..
 * 7) Kerala PSC advising the government to appoint qualified professional for various posts, through rank list which is created by PSC from top scorers in written, practical and physical examinations.

Would it be beneficial to add in Synaptopathy a section about cochlear synaptopathy? I have found multiple references to it.

I also want to add a table or figure to this article. To whoever is reviewing this, what ideas do you have?

I will be adding summaries to these references over the next few days.

Here are three recent review articles:

Here is an additional primary source:

Biophysics Editor (talk) 15:11, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Peer review by Jarett Anderson- Your sources are great, I would suggest as your next step to show how you plan to implement your research into the original article. I would copy and paste the paragraphs where you plan to add your research, or to specify that you may be making entirely new paragraphs. Once you have done that, simply make a rough outline or summary of what you wish to incorporate into that article. Good luck!

Updated Article:

Another example of synaptopathy occurs in the auditory system. This cochlear synaptopathy has been seen after prolonged noise exposure in both primate and non-primate models. Two possible reasons for this neuronal death are both glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity in the postsynaptic terminal, and presynaptic ribbon damage which occurs by an unknown mechanism.

Peer review by Jarett Anderson

Based on your presentation, I think this image is awesome! Did you get it off of Wikimedia, or do you have all the copyright work done to be able to post this to Wikipedia tomorrow? I would explain what the image is portraying in both the caption of the image as well as the paragraph beginning with "Another example of synaptopathy occurs in the auditory system...". Great progress, excited to see the final product!

Jarett

I got it off of Wikimedia. Thanks for the input. I'll be sure and captions in both the paragraph and under the image. Thanks! Caden

I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brad_Harrison&diff=571932696&oldid=569533433 edited] the "Early life and education" section to indicate the kinds of improvement that are still needed:

 * I have added "[citation needed]" tags to statements that have no source; see WP:V.
 * I have removed an unsourced claim that his military career was "successful". It may well have been, but without a reliable source to confirm this, the article should not say so.
 * I have removed the flowery language that he "was fortunate enough to work with" various people; see WP:TONE.
 * I have removed unnecessary links to external websites. Just because an article mentions organisation XYZ, that doesn't mean it should include a link to XYZ's home page. See this guideline.
 * I have added "[failed verification]" to a URL that seemed to be used as a source for one of the statements, but in fact leads to a page that does not mention Brad Harrison anywhere.

The rest of the article needs just as much work as this section. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:24, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

I have lived in my district for more than 14 years and have always loved the landscape that surrounds me. The view of the Ochil hills is utterly spectacular and makes me proud to be a member of my community.

 * 1) No free or public domain images exist for this or any album cover.
 * 2) This image does not replace the original market role of the album.
 * 3) This should and most likely be used only on the article for the album it depicts.
