'''Svalbard''' or Spitsbergen is an [[archipelago]] and territory of the Kingdom of [[Norway]] in the [[Barents Sea]]. Its capital, Longyearbyen, is the world's northenmost city. The population of Svalbard is mainly Russian, a community which has for decades worked coal mines in the islands by agreement between the former [[Soviet Union]] and Norway. Other economic activities include whaling, 'ice tourism' and trapping. The prolific Svalbard penguin is prized both for his meat and his oil which is of use in cosmetic preparations owing to its very high vitamin content.

Pakistan

2007-05-07T22:41:28Z

Unthank: I can't believe that the original author seemed never to have heard of west and East Pakistan, or the establishment of Bangladesh. Sheesh. Still, it's all a long way away from Tupelo..

'''Pakistan''' is a country in Asia. It was created in 1947 as a state for Muslims during August 14, 1947. The meaning of Pakistan means "Land of the pure". it was also interpreted as an abbreviation of three regions that were supposed to contain Pakistan viz. Punjab, Afghanistan and Kashmir. Only two-thirds of Punjab out of these three regions actually exist in Pakistan today. At its creation in 1947 Pakistan was divided into two sections: West Pakistan (modern-day pakistan) and East Pakistan (modern day [[Bangladesh]]}. West Pakistani oppression of the more populous east led to a rebellion in the east in 1970 under the Awami League of Sheik [[Mujib ur-Rahman]] (which had had electoral success, subsequently suppressed by west Pakistani troops). Indian military intervention in the conflict brought about the establishment of the sta eof Bangladesh. Its primary founder was Mohammad Ali-Jinnah, inspired by the ideology of the Muslim poet Muhammad Iqbal. It is located in the corridor of the Middle East and South Asia. It is bordered by Iran, Afghanistan, India and China. Its capital is [[Islamabad]]. The nation is about 97% Muslim <ref>http://www.uh.edu/~sriaz/religion/index.html</ref>.

It has a film industry named Lollywood which is a copy of "Hollywood" and which is based in Lahore. Its current president is the military dictator General Pervez Musharraf who overthrew the previous president Nawaz Sharif after the Kargil War with India in 1999. It has nuclear weapons. Urdu is the national language of Pakistan with English being the official language used in the constituition. Pakistan is a multi-ethnic state with the majority being Punjabis (of the Pakistani province of Pakistani Punjab, ethnically related to the Punjabis of India) and with Sindhi (of the Pakistani province of Sindh, ethnically related to the Sindhi diaspora in India), Pukhtun, Muhajir (migrants from India who went to Pakistan during the formation of the state) and Baluch (ethnic Iranians) identity.

Pakistan is divided into four main provinces, Pakistani Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and the North Western Frontier Provinces. Massive separatist movements are presently underway in the last two, and insurgents in Balochistan and Waziristan (in the N.W.F.P) have acheived significant success in recent years against the military dictatorship of Pakistan.

Pakistan is a country with very poor human rights record, particularly against minorities such as Christians, Hindus, Jews, Ahmadiyya Muslims and the Muhajir Urdu <ref>[http://www.christianpost.com/article/20060822/23922.htm]</ref><ref>[http://www.religioustolerance.org/rt_pakis.htm]</ref><ref>[http://www.domini.org/openbook/pak20020925.htm]</ref>

Wuhan

2007-05-07T22:35:05Z

Unthank: typo

'''Wuhan''' is a major industrial city in central [[China]] and the capital of [[Hubei]] province, with a population of 9.1 millions. Lying at the confluence of the [[Yangtse]] (Changjiang) and Han rivers, is is a triple city, comprising the formerly discrete cities of Hankou ([[Wade-Giles]]: Hankow), Hanyang and Wuchang.

==== History ====

Urban development began during the [[Han]] dynasty (roughly contemporary with the [[Roman Empire]]), and Hanyang and Wuchang were walled c. 206-223 AD. During the [[Taiping Rebellion]] fighting between Taiping and Imperial forces ebbed and flowed several times across the Wuhan region. The triple city achieved further strategic significance when the Belgian-financed Beihan ([[Beijing]]-Hankou) railway was opened as part of a trunk line linking Beijing to [[Guangzhou]] (Canton). In 1927 Nationalist ({[[Kuomintang]]) forces occupied Wuhan in the course of the [[Northern Expedition]] of 1926-28. Nationalist crowds thereupon overwhelmed barricades erected by Western forces and occupied the former foreign cioncessions in Hankou (and also at Jiujiang, downriver of Wuhan). This was the first occasion on which settlements had been recovered, and the ''fait accompli'' was later accepted by the powers. In the late summer and autumn of 1927 Wuhan was the centre of a short-lived Left-Kuomintang govenment headed by [[Wang Jingwei]] and [[Song Qingling]] (Madame [[Sun Yat-sen]]) following [[Chiang Kai-shek]]'s [[Shanghai Coup]] in which he had turned on and massacred his erstwhile [[Communist]] allies. Wuhan briefly served as temporary capital of the [[Republic of China]] following the Japanese invasion in 1937 and occupation of [[Nanjing]]. Wuhan was in turn occupied by Japan and the Chinese capital removed further inland, to [[Chongqing]] (Chungking). In 1957 a 1.6 km long road and rail bridge was opened across the Yangtse at Wuhan. A second bridge was opened in 1995 and a third in 2000.

The modern economy of Wuhan was based on iron and [[steel]] production

Wuhan has numerous twin cities, including [[Manchester]] and [[Pittsburgh]]

Happy Easter to you, Sharon!

'''The eleven disciples went to the hill in Galilee where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him, Jesus drew near and said to them, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age." ''Matthew 28''
 '''Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. You know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. “We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a tree, but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

== ... terms ==

Are the 'terms' pages that useful in light of proper categorization? One could just go to the category and see the terms there. Alternatively, if the 'terms' pages are to be useful, templates at the top to do the names would be much cleaner than the current cut and pasted block. There are also a large number of terms that are capital letters ([[Acid Ionization Reaction]] for example from [[Chemistry Terms A]]) which make it a proper noun and require either multiple redirects or pipe links to properly have it included in the text as [[acid ionization reaction]]. What is the best way to go about fixing these problems? --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 19:57, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

:Thanks for your ideas! I think I will make a template for the top of the pages now. As for terms with capital letters, I will try to correct them as I see them, and hope everyone will do the same. Eventually, that should resolve the problem. ~ [[User:SharonS|SharonS]] [[User talk:SharonS|Talk!]] 20:01, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

:: With a little bit of template magic, it would be possible to make one template that accommodates all terms pages with a variable. I am still confused as to the usefulness of the terms pages (and the master lists) given proper categorization of the terms in the pages one could just go to the category page instead which is automagicaly updated as new items are added. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 20:05, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

Seppuku

2007-05-07T22:11:49Z

Unthank: Spelling of samurai corrected. Reference to 'compare with hara kiri' (as it is properly spelled) deleted - the two are synonymous, for heavens sake.

Form of [[suicide]] practiced by [[Japanese]] samurai to avoid being captured or to restore one's [[honor]]. It involves using a samurai sword to make a lateral cut across the abdomen, followed by a vertical cut into the thorax. Seppuku-committers who fear that they might not accomplish this without the disgrace of wincing had a second standing by to decapitate them with a sword as the act was completed.

In recent years the most notable operson to suicide in this manner was the novelist and ultra-nationalist [[Yukio Mishima]], who chose seppuku after a failed comic-opera coup, in which he had kidnapped the Japanese Minister of Defence.

Northumberland

Unthank: /* Haltwhistle */

Northumberland is a region in the north east of [[England]]. It is home to the city of [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle]].

== Northumberland in the English Civil War ==

Northumberland was involved in some particularly vicious fighting during the [[English Civil War]]. Owing to the breakdown of central government the counties experienced far more autonomy, and the see-sawing fortunes of the protagonists led many opportunistic leaders to try and expand their influence.
The traditional French interference in the England-Scotland dispute led to armies being sent north from Northumberland, where several protracted and costly engagements were fought. Unable to make ground, the Geordies turned to attacking the lowland Scots. This proved a disastrous move, as they had a mutual protection pact with [[Otto von Bismark|von Bismark's]] German-supported enclave on Northumberland's southern border.
Pressed from the north and south, Northumberland was overrun and remained a lawless border region between the various factions for some time. Organized settlement by lowland Scots was credited with restoring much stability, although it is also criticized for its impact in the decline of traditional Geordie culture. Rivalry between Scots and Geordies remains strong to this day.

==Haltwhistle==

Haltwhistle is a small market town in [[Northumberland]], north-east [[England]], on the River North [[Tyne]], a tributary of the [[River Tyne]].. It lies at the geographical centre of the [[island]] of [[Great Britain]]. The name has no railway connections (although Haltwhistle is on one of the earliest railways in the world, the [[Newcastle & Carlisle Railway]] of 1835); it derives from the 'junction of streams (OE ''twisla'') by the hill (OE ''heafod''). Paint manufacture was the town's sole major industry; since the paint factory closed in the early 21st century Haltwhistle has been attempting to reinvent itself as a centre for tourism.

Psychogeography has been described as "the hidden landscape of atmosphere, histories, actions and characters which charge environments... The lost social ley-lines which make up the unconscious cultural contours of places." The term was first used by [[French]] members of the [[Situationist International]], who, among other events, carried out [[derives]], unguided wanderings through the streets of (at first) Paris. The term was taken up by, and the philosophy an influence on, [[British]] writers such as [[Iain Sinclair]] and [[J.G. Ballard]].

Tea

2007-05-07T13:48:02Z

Unthank: Making tea.

'''Tea''' is a beverage made by steeping leaves and buds, most often from the plant ''Camellia sinensis''.

Tea originated in [[China]], although it is now grown throughout the world, and rivals the olive as the key cash crop of the Holy Land.

The drinking of tea is common throughout Asia, the British Isles, where it is often drunk with milk, and the former Soviet Union (especially Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transnistria, where it is increasingly replacing melon juice as the national drink). In [[Tibet]], tea is drunk with fermented [[yak]] butter.

== Varieties of tea ==

'''Herbal teas''', also referred to as "tisanes", are made from dried herbs, flowers, and/or fruits. These are often consumed as medicinals and include such commonly known teas as [[chamomile]], [[rosehip]], and mint.

Tea from the ''Camellia sinensis'' is generally divided into several types, based on the way the tea leaves were processed. White, green, oolong, and black are the generally recognized Western designations for these types. However, they are known slightly differently in China. Western 'black' tea is 'red' in China, and pu-erh tea (a fermented type with an earthy, almost compost-like aroma and flavor) is known as black.

Flavored teas such as Earl Grey have herbs, flowers, fruits, and oils added to the tea leaves.

== "Famous" tea varieties ==

Famous varieties of tea include China tea (pok-gai), jasmine tea, sencha (the finest green tea from Japan), darjeeling, Assam, East Friesian, English breakfast, lapsang souchong, and Earl Grey, named for the British liberal prime minister who introduced left-wing reforms.

== Making Tea ==

To make tea in a teapot, the pot should first be warmed by swilling it with boiling or near-boiling water. This is because to make black tea, the water should be as close as possible to boiling, and a cool pot would cool the water on impact. Next, one teaspoon of tea per drinker should be added to the pot, plus one teaspoon for the pot. Then adequate boiling water should be added. The tea should then stand to 'brew' or 'mash' for three minutes or so. It is then ready to pour. The person about to pour should first say the words "Shall I be mother?" Tea should be poured into a cup or mug using a strainer to filter out tea-leaves. Only after the tea has been poured should milk be added; to do otherwise is both illogical - how can one hjudhge in advance the correct amount for varying tastes and varying strengths of tea - and a social solecism. If tea is left to stand too long before being drunk, it is said to be 'stewed'.

Sunday roast

Unthank:

A Sunday Roast, also known as a 'roast dinner' of 'roast with all the trimmings', is a popular dish in the United Kingdom; indeed, where the meat to be roasted in beef, it is considered the [[national dish]] of [[England]].

A Sunday roast consists of a joint of roasted meat - [[beef]], lamb, [[pork]]; or a roast [[chicken]] or [[turkey]] - served with 'the trimmings': roast or boiled potatoes, peas, carrots, green vegetables (cabbage is a popular choice, or sprouts in winter) and gravy. Specific accompaniments are served according to the type of meat chosen: horseradish sauce and [[Yorkshire Pudding]] with pork; mint sauce with lamb; apple sauce and stuffing with pork (which should also be accompanied by ''crackling'' - crispy baked [[pork rind]]; stuffing and cranberry sauce with chicken and turkey.

Sunday roasts are a welcome opportunity for families to get together, and are also popular at other celebratory occasions (not necessarily on a Sunday). Political luncheons often feature the humorously-named 'rubber chicken' roast. Medieval themed restaurants often put on a spit roast - a joint of meatcooked by slow rotation on a spit over an open fire. By tradition, spit roasts are popular with professional footballers to celebrate a good victory.

Scapa Flow is a large natural harbour in the [[Orkney Islands]] [[archipelago]], [[Scotland]]. It is surrounded by the islands of Mainland, Burray, South Ronaldsay, Swona, Flotta, Hoy and Graemsay. It became a base of the British Royal Navy and was used as such in both World Wars. In 1918, following the [[Armistice]], the German High Seas Fleet was interned at Scapa Flow; on 21 June 1919 51 of the German vessels were scuttled by their crews. Many were later raised and sold for scrap, but those that remain are a popular site for divers. On 14 October 1939 the German [[U-Boat]] U-47 entered Scapa Flow and sank the battleship ''Royal Oak'' with the loss of 833 lives. To guard against further incursions a series of causeways were built by Italian prisoners linking Mainland, Burray and South Ronaldsay, thius blocking the eastern entrances to the anchorage. A chapel built by the prisoners, using a converted Nissen Hut, has been restored and is a popular visitor attraction on Orkney.

The naval base at Scap Flow closed in 1956.

[[Stromness]], on the island of Mainland at the western entrance to Scapa Flow, is a ferry port with links to [[Scrabster]], near [[Thurso]], on the Scottish mainland. Flotta, on the southern side of the Flow, has a major oil and gas terminal.

Oscar Wilde

Unthank:

[[Image:Ngcfht.jpg|right|thumb]]

'''Oscar Wilde''' (1854 – 1900) was an [[Ireland|Irish]] poet, novelist, and writer of plays and short stories.

==Biography==

His father was a surgeon and founder of a hospital in Dublin, and his mother was a writer who was active in the early movement for women's rights. Wilde studied at Trinity College Dublin and Magdalen College Oxford, receiving his BA in 1878.

Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884, and they had two sons, but the relationship ended in 1893. Wilde then had a romantic relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas, which eventually led to a conviction for [[homosexuality]] and indecency in 1895 for which he was sentenced to two years hard labor. He later wrote ''The Ballad of [[Reading]] Gaol'' and ''De Profundis'' about his experiences in prison.

Wilde died in 1900, three years after his release from prison. In the past he was thought to have died of syphilis, but more recent studies by Dr Ashley Robins of the University of Cape Town in South Africa report that he died of meningoencephalitis, following a serious ear infection. <ref>http://classiclit.about.com/cs/profileswriters/p/aa_oscarwilde.htm</ref>

Friends who visited him during the last days of his life have reported several versions of his 'dying words', including:

"My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or other of us has got to go."
"I am dying beyond my means."
"I can’t even afford to die."<ref>http://www.findadeath.com/Deceased/w/wilde/oscar_wilde.htm</ref>

As he was dying, he received [[absolution]] from a [[Roman Catholic]] priest, Father Cuthbert Dunne.

==Wit==

Wilde was a well known playwright and celebrity, and is still renowned for his wit today. Some of his lines in stories such as ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' are still often quoted:

''"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written."''

Other memorable lines from ''The Critic as Artist'' include:

''"The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius."''

''"A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal."''

''"There is no sin except stupidity."''

''"...nothing worth knowing can be taught."''

Wilde's most frequently-produced play is the high comedy ''The Importance of Being Earnest''. This includes such gems as:

''"The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means."''

''"London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years."''

''"The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!"''

Northern Ireland

2007-05-07T12:22:05Z

Unthank: corrections and editing

The country of '''Northern Ireland''' is a member of the [[United Kingdom]], which also includes [[England]], [[Scotland]], and [[Wales]]. Geographically, Northern Ireland occupies the northern portion of the island of [[Ireland]], with the Republic of Ireland occupying the remainder of the island.

== Early Years ==

Northern Ireland was created by the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and its existence effectively confirmed by the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922, which formally concluded the Irish War of Independence. It was governed from Parliament Buildings at [[Stormont]] in [[Belfast]]; Northern ireland also elected Members of Parliament to serve at the UK Parliament in [[London]]. However, a minority on both sides of the Irish border refused to accept the partition of Ireland and continued to fight the British, largely with terrorist activities.

The most important group in this regard has been the [[terrorist]] [[Irish Republican Army]], commonly known as the [[IRA]]. The IRA was originally formed to fight the British during the War of Independence. Many IRA members refused to accept the Anglo-Irish treaty's partition of the island into two separate countries, leading to the bloody Irish Civil War of 1922-23, in which pro-treaty forces were victorious. However, the anti-treaty forces continued to refer to themselves as the IRA after the civil war concluded, and to consider themselves the legitimate government of Ireland.

The government of Northern Ireland has been widely criticized for anti-Catholic policies, particularly during its first 40 years. The country's first prime minister, [[James Craig]], once famously described it as "a Protestant parliament for a Protestant people."<ref>Bardon, J. (1992). A History of Ulster. The Blackstaff Press, Belfast, pp. 539.</ref>

== Civil Rights Movement ==

During the late 1960s, partially inspired by the civil rights movement in the [[United States]], Northern Ireland Catholics began to protest against perceived discrimination by the government. Protests were initially led by the [[Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association]], or NICRA, which was founded in January 1967. NICRA's demands included repeal of the Special Powers Act, the end of the paramilitary B Specials police force, an end to the gerrymandering in local elections, and an end to discrimination in terms of government housing and government employment.

Protests typically took the form of marches or other demonstrations. One of the most important protests took place on January 1, 1969, when a group from the student People's Democracy organization organized a march from Belfast to Derry, intended to imitate [[Martin Luther King, Jr.]]'s marches from Selma to Montgomery. The march was repeatedly attacked by unionists (those wishing for Northern Ireland to remain in the United Kingdom), including off-duty policemen. The most intense violence occurred at Burntollet Bridge, where the marchers were attacked by 200 unionists while police did little to intervene.

== The Troubles ==
"The Troubles" refers to a 30-year period of terrorism and civil unrest. The Troubles are generally considered to have begun with civil rights movement and the violent unionist response. Northern Ireland prime minister Terrence O'Neill at first responded favorably to the demands of the protestors, but this attitude was decried by other unionists, including [[Ian Paisley]]. Many unionists believed that NICRA was controlled by the [[IRA]]. Following the violence at Burntollet Bridge, nationalists in the city of Derry began to erect barricades to protect themselves. This led to the Battle of the Bogside between nationalists and police prior to a unionist march that was scheduled to pass the nationalist Bogside area of the city. The Battle of the Bogside lasted from August 12 to 14, 1969 before British troops were called to resolve the situation. In the meantime, fierce rioting broke out in other parts of the country, including Belfast, Newry, and Strabane. In total, 7 people were killed and 750 injured during the unrest in August 1969, and 1,500 Catholic families and 500 Protestant families were forced from their homes. The Northern Ireland government then requested the presence of British troops throughout the country to keep order.

The violence of the Troubles peaked during the early 1970s, spurred by an influx of recruits to various terrorist organizations, including the republican [[IRA]] and the loyalist [[Ulster Defense Association]] and [[Ulster Volunteer Force]]. A number of events combined to widen the divide between the nationalist and unionist communities. For nationalists, these included the Falls Curfew of July 1970, in which British troops cordoned off nationalist neighborhoods in Belfast, not allowing residents in or out of the area; 4 nationalists were killed in fighting between British troops and the IRA. The introduction of internment without trial in August 1971 was viewed by nationalists as discriminatory, as 348 of the first 350 people interned were nationalists. Of nearly 2,000 people interned over the next four years, 94.6% were nationalists. For unionists, [[IRA]] actions similarly hardened their positions. For example, the IRA carried out 1,300 bombings by the end of 1972, largely against commercial targets, considerably disrupting everyday life and often resulting in the deaths of uninvolved civilians. The worst example during this period is known as Bloody Friday, when the IRA set off 22 bombs on July 21, 1972, causing 9 deaths and 130 injuries. The IRA provided warnings to security forces via the media, but given the number of bombs planted did not give sufficient time to allow the security forces to evacuate the areas. In some cases, ambiguous warnings led to people being led toward, rather than away from, bombs about to be detonated.

In 1972 the UK government, deeming the Northern Ireland government unable to stabilize the situation, suspended the Northern Ireland parliament and instituted direct rule from London. While direct rule was intended as a temporary measure, it continued throughout the course of the Troubles.

P.G. Wodehouse

2007-05-07T10:52:03Z

Unthank:

Sir '''Pelham Grenville Wodehouse''' ("Plum") (1881-1975) was an English humorous writer.

He is best known for two series of novels and short stories: those based upon the clueless man-about-town [[Bertie Wooster]] and his capable manservant, [[Jeeves]]; and those based on life at the idyllic Blandings Castle, home of the Earl of Emsworth and his prize-winning pig, the Empress of Blandings.

Wodehouse was born in [[Guildford]], [[Surrey]], the son of a Hong Kong judge, and educated at [[Dulwich College]], a public school (US = private school) in suburban [[London]]. After school he worked for a short time for the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank in London, before setting up as a full-time writer. His first published works were school stories for the comic paper ''The Captain''. he also collaborated with Jerome Kern and [[Cole Porter]] on musical plays, writing the words for the song ''Bill'' in [[Show Boat]]. The first Jeeves and Wooster story was published in 1917 and the first Blandings story in 1915.

Between 1924 and 1940 Wodehouse lived at [[Le Touquet]], [[France]], and was interned by the invading German forces in 1940. Released from close captivity on his 60th birthday, he and his wife then lived at the Adler Hotel in [[Berlin]] for the rest of the war. After his release from internment Wodehouse made a number of recorded talks to be broadcast on Gertman radio transmissions to the then-neutral United States, an act which earned him much condemnation and accusations of collaboration in the United Kingdom. Wodehopuse was questioned by MI5 after the war and cleared of treasonable or malicious intent, but the experience dissuaded him from returning to the UK and he spent the rest of his life living at Remsenburg, [[Long Island]], [[New York]], [[USA]]. He became an American citizen in 1955.

RMS Lusitania

Unthank: Minor additions - propaganda value

[[Image:Lusitania.jpg|right|thumb|Poster about the Lusitania]]

On May 7, 1915, still relatively early in World War I, a German [[U-boat]] sunk a massive [[British]] passenger liner known as the Lusitania off the coast of [[Ireland]]. This one sinking killed 1,198 people, including 128 U.S. citizens. A member of the prominent Vanderbilt family, known for its railroad empire, was among the fatalities. The overall number of casualties was only a few hundred less than those who died on the Titanic when it hit an iceberg in 1912.

On April 30th, 1915, the Lusitania was being loaded in New York with supplies, and was secretly being loaded with ammunition. Over on the other side of the world, in Germany, on the same day, Kapitänleutnant Walter Schwieger was ordered to take his U-boat-20 German submarine to take patrol of part of the Atlantic. The Lusitania started its trip across the Atlantic to Great Britain on May 1st, 1915, carrying 1257 passengers and 702 crew members under the command of Captain William Turner. On May 7th, the Lusitania and the German Submarine entered the Irish Channel. The Submarine had been sinking other ships before the Lusitania.

Running low on fuel Kapitänleutnant Schwieger decided to turn back. On his way back he ran into several ships, and sunk them. When he met up with the Lusitania, he submerged and fired one torpedo. The torpedo was noticed, but nothing was able to be done about it. Right after it hit, it triggered a secondary explosion within the ship (the leading theory is this was a coal dust explosion; the Lusitania burned coal for fuel, and by this late stage of the crossing her bunkers were nearly empty. The theory states that the detonation of the torpedo stirred up this dust and simultaneously ignited it.) Due to the list (tilt to one side) of the ship, it was impossible to launch half of her lifeboats. A distress signal was sent out and picked up at Queenstown (now called [[Cobh]], Ireland. The Lusitania sank 18 minutes after the torpedo hit.

Queenstown sent out several boats to see what they could do. They arrived at the scene two hours after the sinking, and were able to rescue 761 people from the wreckage. The total number of deaths was 1,198.

The sinking of the Lusitania was extensively used in British [[propaganda]] to promote recruitment for the armed forces in the war against Germany, and to promote anti-German sentiment in the still-neutral United States.

Nanjing

Unthank:

Nanjing (Nanking in the [[Wade-Giles]] transliteration system) is a city in eastern China, situated on the south bank of the [[Yangtse]] River (''Chiangjiang'') about 200 miles west of [[Shanghai]]. Nanjing was capital of China during part of the [[Ming]] dynasty, and, renamed ''Tianjing'' (Heavenly Capital) was the capital and main base area of the Taiping kings during the [[Taiping Rebellion]] of the 1850s and 60s. It was again capital of the [[Republic of China]] between 1928 and 1937. In 1937 Nanjing was occupied by the invading Japanese army and sunjected to a horrific extended period of murder, rape, looting and destruction which is known as the [[Rape of Nanjing]]. The city was subsequently capital of the puppet government of [[Wang Jingwei]]. Following the defeat of Japan in 1945 Nanjing again served as the Chinese capital until the fall of the Republic of China in 1949 and the establishment of the communist People's Republic of China, which restored the status of Capital to Beijing.

The many historical monuments in and around the city include the Mausoleum of [[Sun Yat-sen]] in the Purple Hills, and the dramatic 6.7 km long double-deck road/rail Yangtse Bridge, completed by Chinese engineers after the sudden withdrawal of Soviet experts by Kruschchev, and opened in 1968.

Nanjing is a city in eastern China, situated on the south bank of the [[Yangtse]] River (''Chiangjiang'') about 200 miles west of [[Shanghai]]. Nanjing was capital of China during part of the [[Ming]] dynasty, and, renamed ''Tianjing'' (Heavenly Capital) was the capital and main base area of the Taiping kings during the [[Taiping Rebellion]] of the 1850s and 60s. It was again capital of the [[Republic of China]] between 1928 and 1937. In 1937 Nanjing was occupied by the invading Japanese army and sunjected to a horrific extended period of murder, rape, looting and destruction which is known as the [[Rape of Nanjing]]. The city was subsequently capital of the puppet government of [[Wang Jingwei]]. Following the defeat of Japan in 1945 Nanjing again served as the Chinese capital until the fall of the Republic of China in 1949 and the establishment of the communist People's Republic of China, which restored the status of Capital to Beijing.

The many historical monuments in and around the city include the Mausoleum of [[Sun Yat-sen]] in the Purple Hills, and the dramatic 6.7 km long double-deck road/rail Yangtse Bridge, completed by Chinese engineers after the sudden withdrawal of Soviet experts by Kruschchev, and opened in 1968.

If your definition of "terrorist" is elastic enough to include Mandela and the struggle for racial freedom in South Africa, it's elastic enough to include George Washington and the American Revolution.

I'm thinking to avoid a proliferation of stubs. We don't need to be a gazetteer. Wikipedia made that mistake over my strenuous objections in its early years, largely to get bragging rights about the "number" of articles it had. Somebody wrote a computer program (aka Rambot?) that generated text of around 40,000 articles from a geographical database. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 10:46, 21 April 2007 (EDT)

Still, you can't hope to fit hundreds or possibly thousands of sub-sections (however stubby they may be) for each country into an article that's got to be... 32K or thereabouts(?) in total size. --[[User:Jeremiah4-22|Jeremiah4-22]] 10:57, 21 April 2007 (EDT)

:I think 32K bytes is a good maximum size for an article. Anything over that should probably be divided into sections.

:I do not consider myself sufficiently knowledgeable to accurately represent the creationist position on geological time periods. However I would welcome a detailed statement of the creationist view written by somebody with a suitable level of expertise. However, as I've said elsewhere, the stub that [[User:Conservative]] has pasted into all these articles is of no value whatever, and indeed, is in breach of Conservapedia Commandments 1,2 and 5.

:Since you seem to insist on removing, without demonstrating any valid basis for your actions, my factual accounts (and those of other editors) of the scientific position, and since the current pro-creationist material (such as it is,) is utterly unfit for purpose, this leaves the section dealing with geological time periods '''entirely devoid of content'''.

Hadrian's Wall

2007-05-03T11:02:04Z

Unthank: Hadrian's Wall is NOT an approximation of the Anglo Scottish border. Atr the eastern end there are 60 miles of England N of the Wall.

'''Hadrian's Wall''' was a wall built by the Romans across the centre of Britain in the 2nd century CE, to defend their northern frontier from [[Picts|Pictish]] incursions.

It stretched across northern England from [[Wallsend]] in the east to [[Bowness on Solway]] in the west, and formed the northern boundary of the Roman Empire, though a subsequent temporary northward advance took them as far as the [[Antonine Wall]].

After the fall of the [[Roman Empire]], much of the stone from the wall was taken and reused building local [[churches]] and abbeys, not to mention housing and farmsteads. All that remains of the wall are small sections which constitute something of a tourist attraction.

Lindisfarne

Unthank: monastery; castle; Lindisfarne mead.

{{expand}}
'''Lindisfarne''', known also as [[Holy Island]] is a small island off the eastern coast of [[Northumberland]], [[England]], connected to the mainland by a tidal [[causeway]].

The island is most famous for its [[monastery]] which, in 793, became the target of [[Viking]] raiders in their first raid on [[Europe]]. The monastery did not shut down for over eighty years after the incident, when the monks eventually fled. The present monastic ruins were first built during the post-Conquest monastic restoration, some centuries after the destruction of the first site.

Lindisfarne also has a small but imposing castle. This was originally a sixteenth century artillery fort and look-out tower guarding this vulnerable stretch of coastline close to the Anglo-Scottish frontier. In the Edwardian period it was totally reconstructed to the designs of [[Edwin Lutyens]] for [[Edward Hulton]], the publisher of [[Country Life]] magazine.

The honey-based alcoholic drink [[mead]] is brewed on Lindisfarne.

The island is now very popular with tourists. It currently has a population of just over 150 people<ref>http://www.lindisfarne.org.uk/general/welcome.htm</ref>.

British Isles

2007-04-30T13:57:55Z

Unthank: Minor edits

[[Image:british-isles.gif|right|250px|thumb|Map of the British Isles]]

==Overview==

The British Isles is an [[Archipelago]] or group of islands off the North West coast of continental Europe. The British Isles are comprised of [[Great Britain]], [[Ireland]] and a number of smaller islands including the [[Scottish]] Islands in the North and some of the [[Channel Islands]] in the South.

It is worth noting that the term "British Isles" is somewhat controversial in the [[Republic of Ireland]] and [[Northern Ireland]] for historical reasons and [[Irish]] nationalists may find it offensive.

Geographically, the islands stretch from the [[Isles of Scilly]] in the South, to [[Shetland]] in the North and from [[Tearaght Island]] in the West, to [[Lowestoft Ness]] in the East. There are over than 6,000 [[island]]s covering a total land area of 121,674 square miles.

Although the British Isles is comprised of over six thousand individual islands, there are but two [[sovereign state]]s located on the islands, the [[United Kingdom]] of [[Great Britain]] (which includes [[Northern Ireland]]) and the [[Republic of Ireland]] (abbreviated to ROI). Also part of the group is the [[Isle of Man]], a [[United Kingdom]] Crown dependency and notable [[tax haven]]. With the exception of the [[Isle of Man]], both states are members of the [[European Union]] (abbreviated to [[EU]]). Prior to 1922 [[Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]] were part of the ''United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland''. In 1922 (following the [[Irish War of Independence]]), twenty six counties of Ireland left the [[United Kingdom]] to become the [[Irish Free State]] (from 1949 the [[Republic of Ireland]]). The remaining six counties remained part of the [[United Kingdom]] and became known as [[Northern Ireland]].

==Geography of the British Isles==

Of the six thousand islands in the group, the largest two are [[Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]]. Great Britain alone covers over half the total landmass of the British Isles, some 83,698 square miles. [[Ireland]] is located to the West of [[Great Britain]] and covers some 32,589 square mile. Other islands notable for their size are [[Orkney]] off the [[Scottish]] coast, [[Anglesey]] (Ynys Mon) off the [[Welsh]] coast and the [[Isle of Man]] between [[Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]].

The islands are low lying with Southern [[Great Britain]] being at particularly low [[altitude]]. [[Ben Nevis]] in the Scottish [[Highlands]] is the highest [[mountain]] in the British Isles rising to 1,344 metres above [[sea level]]. Although other parts of the isles are mountainous (parts of Wales, Northern [[England]] and parts of [[Ireland]]), few mountains in these areas reach more than 1,000 metres above [[sea level]].

Lakes on the islands are all [[freshwater]], the largest being [[Lough Neagh]] in [[Northern Ireland]]. The largest lake in Great Britain is [[Loch Lomond]] although [[Lake Windermere]] and [[Loch Ness]] are both notable. Rivers are a prominent feature on the landscape and were once an important form of [[transport]]. The river [[Severn]] and the [[Shannon]] are the longest but perhaps the best known waterway is the river [[Thames]]. During the [[Industrial Revolution]], river transport was augmented by the building of many [[canals]] linking trade towns to ports. The best known examples are the [[Leeds]] to [[Liverpool]] [[canal]] linking these two important trading cities, and the [[Grand Union Canal]] linking [[London]] and the [[Thames]] with the canal system of the industrial English Midlands..

The British Isles have a temperate climate with winters being cool and wet and summers milder and dryer. [[Rain]] is a common weather feature and is responsible for the long history of [[arable]] farming. Southern areas tend to be warmer than the Northern parts of the Isles and are thus more suited for [[arable]] farming. Northern farms are predomenantly [[Hill Farms]] concentrating on livestock.

Clement Attlee

2007-04-30T12:38:20Z

Unthank:

'''Clement Richard Attlee''' (3 January 1883 - 8 October 1967) was the Prime Minister of the [[United Kingdom]] from 1945 to 1951. He was a member of the [[Labour Party]], and is remembered as the leader of the strongly socialist government that was elected in the aftermath of [[World War II]]. During the war, he served as [[Winston Churchill]]'s Deputy Prime Minister.

Attlee was born in Putney, a middle-class [[London]] suburb, in 1883. Educated at Haileybury and University College, [[Oxford]] he became a barrister in 1906. Attlee developed an interest in social problems while doing voluntary work at a boy's club in Stepney. Converted to socialism by reading the works of [[John Ruskin]] and [[William Morris]], in 1913 Attlee became a tutor at the [[London School of Economics.]]

In 1914 Attlee joined the [[British Army]] and served in Gallipoli and Mesopotamia , where he was badly wounded at El Hanna. After recovering back in England, Attlee was sent to France in 1918 and served on the Western Front for the last few months of the war. By the end of the First World War Attlee reached the rank of major.

After the war Attlee returned to teaching at the London School of Economics. Attlee, a member of the [[Labour Party]], became involved in local politics and in 1919 was elected Mayor of Stepney.

In the 1922 General Election he was elected Labour MP for Limehouse in London. [[Ramsay MacDonald]], the leader of the party in the House of Commons, recruited Attlee as his parliamentary secretary (1922-24). In the 1924 Labour Government Attlee was appointed as Under Secretary of State for War.

After the Labour Party victory in the 1929 General Election, MacDonald appointed Attlee as postmaster-general. However, like most ministers, Attlee refused to serve in the National Government formed by MacDonald in 1931. Attlee was one of the few Labour MPs to win his seat in the 1931 General Election and became deputy leader of the party under George Lansbury.

When Lansbury retired in 1935 Attlee became the new leader of the Labour Party. During the Spanish Civil War he supported the British volunteers fighting against General Francisco Franco and visited the International Brigades on the front-line in December 1937.

In 1940 Attlee joined the coalition government headed by [[Winston Churchill]]. He was virtually deputy Prime Minister although this post did not formally become his until 1942. It was afterwards claimed that during the Second World War Attlee worked as a restraining influence on some of Churchill's more wilder schemes.

In the 1945 General Election Attlee lead the Labour Party to its largest victory at the polls. During his six years in office he carried through a vigorous program of reform. The [[Bank of England]], the coal mines, civil aviation, cable and wireless services, gas, electricity, railways, road transport and steel were all nationalized. The National Health Service was introduced and independence was granted to [[India]] (1947) and [[Burma]] (1948).

In April 1951 Attlee's already weak position (the Labour majority in the House of Commons had been reduced to six) further deteriorated when two Labour leaders, Aneurin Bevan and Harold Wilson (afterward Prime Minister), resigned from the government over the introduction of National Health-service charges, that were bitterly opposed by the public. When the Conservatives narrowly won the election of October 1951, Attlee resigned. On yielding the party leadership in December 1955, he was created an Earl. In 1937 he published The Labour Party in Perspective and in 1954 his memoirs, "As It Happened". He was active in the House of Lords until his death in 1967.

Haggis

2007-04-30T11:58:41Z

Unthank:

'''Haggis''' is a traditional [[Scotland|Scottish]] dish. It is made with various ingredients including the [[sheep]]’s liver, heart and lungs, seasoned, and mixed with [[oats]], a cereal which Dr Johnson memorably described in his [[Dictionary]] as "a grain, which in [[England]] is generally given to horses, but in [[Scotland]] supports the people." The ingredients are cooked for about an hour in the sheep’s stomach. Portions of haggis are also frequently coated in batter, deep fried and served at [[chip shop]]s.

Many more recipes can be found below.

Box Hill, in the [[North Downs]] north-east of [[Dorking]], [[Surrey]], is a popular place of recreation for the people of south [[London]]. It has extensive views over the [[Weald]] to the [[South Downs]]. Its popularity as a resort has lasted for at least two c3enturies, as it was the scene of a pic-nic party in the novel [[''Emma'']] by [[Jane Austen]]. The crest of the hill contains a number of Second Worls War fortifications, as the hill commands the strategic [[Mole Gap]], which contains road and rail connections between London and the south coast.
