I propose a college class on Wikipedia where students are graded by the level of responsibility they achieve on the site. Those who become an Administrator will get an "A" for "Administrator". Those who becomes Bureaucrats, of course, will get a "B", Checkusers will get a "C", and you know what happens to those who become Developers, or go to work for the Foundation. bd2412 T 15:10, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Too old
an insource search for "birth date and age\|18" to search for people born in the 19th century that are allegedly still alive. This will more likely show that the wrong template is being used, or some other error, or commented-out templates. You can do the same thing for birth years starting with 190. There are lots of commented-out templates in the results.

Notability for cases
Proposed notability guideline for legal cases.

A legal case is an occurrence wherein two or more persons (called parties) have a dispute which at least one seeks to resolve by filing a claim with a court of law or other dispute resolution body. Legal cases are ubiquitous, with thousands of cases being filed around the world every day. Legal cases are generally not notable, but in rare instances a case may be notable either because it involves notable people or arises out of notable events, or because the decision in the case establishes an important precedent that is followed by other courts and commented on by legal scholars. In even rarer instances, a case may become notable because it encompasses a strange or quirky set circumstances that draw popular attention, even though the prosecution and resolution of the case are otherwise unremarkable.

Sortname redirects
For hundreds of years, reference works tended to list human names by last name, comma, first name (as in Washington, George). Common sense supports creating redirects following this formula, as some readers may expect to be able to find names this way. Additionally, these redirects reflect the use of sortnames in Wikipedia articles, which control how a name will appear in categories.

Two link discography indexes
Recently I have noticed that there were a small number of pages titled "Foo discography", tagged as disambiguation pages, and containing links to lists of different kinds of discographies by the same artist. I have changed all of these to media index pages, since they are obviously not unrelated for disambiguation purposes (see WP:DABCONCEPT), but I doubt that they need to exist at all. Of the 3,451 pages in Category:Discographies by genre, 3,379 are titled "Foo discography", while only 26 are titled "Foo albums discography". An additional 34 are titled "Foo singles discography", and some of these have long existed where the main article is titled "Foo albums discography".

An example of a page currently presented as an index of only a few links is Mariah Carey discography, which states that the title may refer to Mariah Carey albums discography, Mariah Carey singles discography, and Mariah Carey videography. Putting aside the question of whether "discography" refers to a videography at all, it is incorrect to suggest that the term "discography" refers to one or the other kind of recording, as opposed to referring to both kinds of recording combined. By contrast, see Annie discography for a proper disambiguation page containing links to multiple unrelated artists or collections that happen to share the name "Annie". For this reason, and because many of these pages only have links to two or three articles collecting different kinds of recordings by the same artist, I do not think they need to exist at all. In each case, I would presume that the discography most likely to be sought was the album discography (since most tracks released as singles are also released on albums), and would move all articles currently titled "Foo albums discography" to "Foo discography", with a hatnote to indicate the existence of a separate "Foo singles discography" as needed.

A heavy metal proposition
From time to time we have discussed the possibility of asking editors to fix disambiguation links being added to articles before the changes including the link are saved. However, we have never actually tested out such a scheme with an actual disambiguation term. I propose that we initiate such a test with the disambiguation page, Heavy metal. This is one of the most frequently linked disambiguation pages due to Wikipedia's extensive catalog of articles in the heavy metal music genre, and thorough coverage of the heavy metals in chemistry articles. Although there are several other meanings, these are the two that are by far the most likely intended when a link is made.

Comment on cases
The question has come up of whether an article on a legal case can rely on the statement of facts given by the court. The discussion that followed resulted in the articulation of some useful principles to guide this inquiry.

In articles about judicial opinions, it often does not matter whether the facts stated in the opinion are "true" or not; they are the facts on which the court based its opinion, whether the court got them right or not. A practicing lawyer, or judge deciding a subsequent case, would ordinarily rely on the facts that a court set forth in its decision for purposes of understanding that decision. Similarly, a Wikipedia article on a court decision would ordinarily summarize relevant facts as found by the court. If the facts of the case are non-controversial, we can ordinarily go a step further and accept that the facts as described by the court are probably what actually happened. Where the facts were disputed between the parties, then it is better to report that the court accepted the version the facts asserted by a particular party.

There are two notable exceptions to this principle. First, there are cases that arise from important historical events or in connection with notable historical figures, such as Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803), United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974), and, Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988). The judicial machinations of the early 1800s Congress, and the facts of the 1970s Watergate investigation, obviously are of historical significance in many other contexts besides just the court's analysis in that one case. The facts of the 1980s dispute between a leading televangelist and a widely circulated pornographic magazine are significant to articles on the respective subjects.

Second, certain cases about mundane events nevertheless become unusually celebrated, perhaps due to their importance in establishing principles of law. Examples include Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co., 248 N.Y. 339, 162 N.E. 99 (1928), in which a woman was injured by events that occurred while she was attempting to board a train at the Long Island Rail Road's Jamaica station East New York station one day in 1924, Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335 (1963), in which a man was accused of breaking into a pool hall and stealing a small amount of cash and cigarettes. What happened to Mrs. Palsgraf, and what Mr. Gideon was accused of, are things that are not of any historical significance whatsoever except to the extent it affected the outcomes of their court cases, and the facts that affected the outcomes are those that the respective courts believed to be true, regardless of what later historical research may reveal. However, because this cases are well-known among lawyers, there are additional sources for the underlying facts, which may be helpful to fill our or supplement the facts as found by the court. Such additional sources are not essential to every case-related article, but may be helpful for some of them. Palsgraf, in particular, is an unusual example of a case that involved a small, local, non-fatal accident, but which has attracted an enormous secondary literature of a type that most other cases will be unable to match. Much of that secondary literature revolves around the specific question of whether the facts as reported in the opinions corresponded with what actually happened that morning.

Disambiguation nightmares
A disambiguation nightmare is a disambiguation page for which it is very difficult to fix the incoming links because topics on the page are excessive, poorly described, poorly delineated, overlapping, or generally incomplete. A disambiguation nightmare can occur for a common human name like John Smith because there are so many people by that name that it is very difficult for a reader coming to that page to quickly find the John Smith mentioned in an article linking to the page.

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers!

Proposal for fixing links to potentially ambiguous primary topic redirects and primary topic titles
I propose to amend Redirect to permit "fixing" links from potentially ambiguous redirects, where doing so makes it easier to find and fix mistaken links to that redirect.

For example, CIA redirects to Central Intelligence Agency, and it is not disputed that the primary topic of "CIA" is "Central Intelligence Agency"; nevertheless, there are many other lesser-known meanings of "CIA" to which editors sometimes intend to link, such as The Culinary Institute of America, Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and Calgary International Airport. In order to find and fix accidental links to CIA that are intended for one of these other meanings, I would like to change all existing links intended to point to Central Intelligence Agency to piped, direct links to that target (i.e., CIA links).

I would further like to do something similar for primary topic titles for which other prominent uses exist. For example, links are often made to Apple and Mouse that are intended for Apple Inc. and Mouse (computing). I would like to change all of the links that are intended to point to Apple and Mouse into redirects that are piped through Apple (fruit) and Mouse (animal), so that it will be easier to find and fix accidental links to these pages that are intended for the other pages at issue.

DAB AWB wish list
I would like:
 * AWB disambiguation to recognize disambiguation redirect titles.
 * AWB disambiguation to fix titles in   templates.
 * The ability to get all the "what links here" lists for a list of articles at once.
 * The ability to generate lists of solutions for multiple disambiguation links at once, and see those in the disambiguation window.
 * Recognize and fix dab links in   templates.

DAB points
With close to a million incorrect links to fix, the most effective way to do it is with a program like AWB that loads up all links to a particular page. By excluding the tens of thousands of intentional links from this process, we save enough time that we are actually finally getting ahead of the curve. As long as there are disambiguation pages, there will be errant links to them, and we will need some means to avoid the distraction of those intentional links.

A redirect that does not contain the phrase "(disambiguation)" would not show up on the "what links here" page as redirecting through a "foo (disambiguation)" page. For a page like John Smith, if the dozens of intentional incoming links did not redirect through John Smith (disambiguation), people trying to fix incorrect links would waste hours checking pages containing intentional links that could not be fixed.

In Darmok, Data was not very helpful just reeling off a list of topics with no sense of relative usefulness to the situation at hand.

On January 24, 1925, five days after the Senate Judiciary Committee had recommended Stone's confirmation, Senator Thomas J. Walsh—Wheeler's Montana colleague and legal counsel—convinced the Senate to return the nomination to committee for further review. Although President Coolidge refused to withdraw the nomination, he agreed to an unprecedented compromise. He would allow Stone to become the first Supreme Court nominee in history to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. On January 28, 1925, Stone's masterful performance during five hours of public session testimony cleared the way for his quick confirmation. Senator Wheeler soon won acquittal of all charges. Not until 1955, however, did the Senate Judiciary Committee routinely adopt the practice, based on the precedent established by the Stone nomination, of requiring all Supreme Court nominees to appear in person.

a Maryland Transit Administration bus route from North Avenue by Calvert Street|North Calvert Street in the north end (behind the old 1912 Baltimore Polytechnic Institute high school building - now the Alice G. Pinderhughes administrative headquarters of the Baltimore City Public Schools) in the mid-town area (near the newly developed and designated "Station North" district) through the downtown central business district, past the "Inner Harbor" and old South Baltimore/Federal Hill peninsula, across the Hanover Street Bridge and the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River, to East Patapsco Avenue, the main northwest-southeast commercial strip of the adjacent community to the west of "The Bay", known as Brooklyn, where the line runs a circuitous route after turning right (to the south) through the Brooklyn residential streets up 10th Street to Church Street then to the intersection of the Curtis Bay neighborhood's main commercial drive - Pennington Avenue and Spruce Street in the northeastern corner of the Curtis Bay residential area in Baltimore, Maryland. Evolved 130 years from the former Baltimore and Curtis Bay Railroad line of electrified streetcars first began running in 1893 after the mid-century became the old Number 6 line from the days of the streetcars of the old United Railways and Electric Company which merged out of several competing lines in 1899 to the later successor merged Baltimore Transit Company after 1935. The modern state MTA was formed after the state takeover of the BTC in 1968. By the mid-1980's, the old Number 6 line was split into several routes, #61, #62 and #64 serving different southern ends and terminuses of the old combined line in various sectors of the surrounding southern Baltimore neighborhoods of Brooklyn-Curtis Bay-Fairfield-Wagner's Point and the U.S. Coast Guard Yard at Arundel Cove.

DLQ: The statement of Lord Mansfield is obvious. If a person was allowed to bring two or more actions against another for causes which might have been joined, on its being shown to the Court that the double or plural proceeding is vexatious or oppressive, the Court will consolidate them : that power has always laid in its ordinary and de cursu jurisdiction to prevent abuse of its own powers. Also when two or more actions are brought by the same plaintiff against different defendants but the questions in dispute are the same, the Court will on the application of the defendants stay proceedings in all the cases but one. This kind of consolidation can only be obtained at the instance of defendants, yet a somewhat analogous proceeding has been adopted in the converse case. Where a number of plaintiffs have commenced actions against the same defendants on the application of the plaintiffs, the Court may enlarge the time for taking the next step in the rest of the actions until one of them has been tried as a test action, or as just stated, it may on the application of the defendants, as was the former practice, consolidate them. —Amos v. Chadwick (1877), L. B. 4 C. D. 869. The advantage of consolidation is very clear. It prevents several suits for the same matter, thus entailing waste of public time, and also when a person by an act of his, has given rise to a right of action against him by a number of other persons, if successive actions were allowed, it might become uselessly unfair and oppressive to him. In the case of Amos v. Chadwick, previously herein quoted, there were 78 plaintiffs.

Comment on perennial proposals
If every person who has had anything to do with any of these proposals were to throw their hands up and decide not to bother with it again, there would be some new editor (or some old editor who was new to this particular issue) who would see this title, find it disconcerting that appears to be the less common usage, the less concise usage, the less recognizable usage, and will file a move request. I can guarantee you that, because that is how most of these move requests have started. Of course, if someone does file such a move, you can't expect editors who agree with that proposal to silence themselves just because the issue has been considered at a different time, under different circumstances. Furthermore, it is well-established practice that editors who have previously been involved in such discussions - on either side of the issue - have a right to be notified when a new discussion on the same topic is initiated. It's not a matter of any "cohort"; in a community of tens of thousands of editors, including some who have only ever heard the shorter version of this name, these nominations will happen organically.

O'Melveny
H. K. S. O'Melveny

Public domain material: JUDGE O'MELVENY. A CHICAGO PAPER'S ACCOUNT OP HIS EVENTFUL CAREER.

He Was An Active Politician In War Times—A Circuit Court Judge and Member of a Constitutional Convention.

Los Angeles (Cal.) papers of November 28th contain long obituaries of exJudge H. K. S. O'Melveny, who died in that city on the previous day of apoplexy, says the Chicago Herald; also reports of interviews with judges and lawyers concerning the dead jurist, all of which showed that be was held in high esteem. Judge O'Melvony was formerly of Illinois, but he had been for 25 years a resident of California. The lawyers of this state and the politicians of the older class will not have forgotten the man who succeeded Judge Breese on the bench of the circuit court under the constitution of 1848, and who took a prominent part in Democratic politics in the stormy times just before and after the outbreak of tbe civil war. Judge O'Melveny was born in Kentucky and was partly educated in that state, but his parents moving to Illinois when he was still young, he entered the Jacksonville college and graduated with honors at that institution. He read law both under Governor Bissell and General Shields, and was admitted to the bar of St. Clair county and began practice of the profession at Bellville. The discovery of gold in tbe Sacramento valley of California in 1848 induced him to migrate to that country, but, instead of going into the mines, he connected himself with a law firm in Sacramento city, and, in a short time, was appointed to a minor judicial office in a department of one of the state courts. After two years spent there be returned to Illinois and resumed at Bellville tbe practice of the law. He had a fondness for politics, was an ardent Democrat, and soon made himself prominent and influential in the party's councils, and in election campaigns he was much in request as a powerful speaker from the stump. Mr. O'Melveny was chosen to All out the vacancy in the circuit court bench occasioned by the resignation of Sidney Breese, and he received his commission March 1, 1858. In this capacity he served acceptably until 1801, when he was elected a member of tbe constitutional convention, which assembled in January, 1862. The Democrats were in a majority of more than two to one iv tbe convention, and the leading men of the majority shared tbe views of John' C. Ciittenden of Kentucky, that the war had been diverted to lines not originally contemplated, and was become a war merely to free the negroes; and that it could not be fought to a successful termination. Judge O'Melveny waa one of the leaders. He was placed on several of tbe more important committees and was chairman of the committee*on resolutions. The Democrats also had tbe legislature in 1862, and the first business upon ita assembling in January. 1863, was the election of a United States senator in place of Stephen A. Douglas, deceased. Judge O'Melveny was a candidate. He went to Springfield and contested the prize with 8. G. Marshall, R. T. Merrick, William C. Goudy and W. A. Richardson. Early, however, in the struggle he drew out and gave his influence to Richardson, who it was plain to be StSfft l Yrfkß' >t **WVW.«b l«W".tJ»« Jit«.«i--tn faction to the other aspirants when O'Melvany announced that he would not attend the oratorical pow-wow in Assembly hall and declare his sentiments in rivalship with such hot-heads as Marshall and Merrick. He was opposed to what he thought to be the new objects of the war, but he was tn agreement with Richardson that to take ground against the war absolutely would be a mistake. He did not, however, lose standing with his party. Indeed, he favored the so-called peace reaolutions that passed the assembly, and only failed of passing the senate by an accident; and he was named in the Sixth resolution that provided commissioners "to confer with congress and to otherwise aid in securing the results" aimed at —namely, the immediate cessation of the war and the preservation of the union. In the June following he was a member of the Peoria convention. In this convention the anti-war feeling was intense, and the declarations made were extreme. Of course the party was beaten overwhelmingly in the next elections, and Judge O'Melveny, with many other Democrats, southern born and educated, or northern born and educated in southern principles, who had found immense difficulty in approving of a war which, it was foreseen, must result in tho abolition oi slavery, finally became reconciled to the inevitable and ceased their opposition. In 1808 Judge O'Melvedy removed to California and settled at Los Angeles. He in a short time obtained a remunerative law practice and earned a reputation for ability and integrity. Ho did not again take part in general politics, but allowed himself to be known as a Democrat. He was for several terms in Bucceßßiou elected a judge of tbe Buperior court and Berved with eatiaiaction to the bar and the people. Upon his final retirement from the bench he organized a strong law firm, and for yeare, aud up to the time of hia death, his practice was extensive and lucrative. He was concedly one of the most valued citizens of Los Angeles, and his excellent reputation extended throughout California.

Comebacks

 * Man Utd - European Cup Final 1999
 * Liverpool - European Cup Final 2005
 * Man City - Premier League 2012
 * .
 * Sweden fightback against huge favourites Germany in 2014 World Cup qualifier (a time when Germany was great team) as the "perfect winning record" was broken? 4–0 with 30 minutes left became 4–4, which was huge comeback for a underdog. The equaliser coming in 93rd minute, did not make it less interesting. bbc article, the guardian.
 * In 1998, Day 3 of 1998–99 French Division 1, Marseille was losing at home against Montpellier, the score being 0-4 at halftime. In the second half, Marseille scored 5 times in the last half-hour of the game, with an extra-time victory goal scored by Laurent Blanc from the penalty spot. Probably the biggest come-back in French football history. official report
 * The 1954 FIFA World Cup Final is the only World Cup final to date in which a team came back from 2 goals behind, but that was after 8 minutes and it was 2-2 at 18 minutes: it doesn't quite have the same 'comeback' feeling to it.
