1435:. As far as standardization goes, the one thing that comes to mind is a discussion we had about what was considered within the scope of WP:JAZZ, and what was not (the latter including the King of Thailand and Charlie Daniels). The guideline was that WP:JAZZ is not really an article categorization scheme (after all, we have categories for that). The analogy I liked to use was, "would I find this album, or recordings by this musician, in the jazz section of a record store?" The problem with that was that fewer and fewer people know what a record store is, much less that some of them had jazz sections. A better rule-of-thumb, perhaps, is that if we were building a (print) jazz encyclopedia, how important would it be to include a particular subject? 2471: 1726:, vacancies are filled in a consultative process between the FA director and the featured process (FAC, FAR, TFA) needing a delegate. Raul asks the current delegates for a short list of candidates, from which he picks an editor and gauges their interest. If they decline, he repeats the process with another editor on the list. When one accepts, Raul puts his choice on the process' talk page and assesses community reaction to his choice. So far, none of his choices have received sufficient opposition to warrant withdrawing their name. Delegate removals operate with a similar process, though the only reason serious enough to warrant removal in the last four years has been a lack of activity on-wiki. 1300: 149: 1770: 694: 649:. In the announcements he appealed to regular Sakha-speaking web surfers and called them to join Knowledge in their language and to get their children to write, too. Surprisingly, just a few hours after publishing, the moderator of the forums removed the notices as inappropriate, putting the whole campaign in danger. The posts were restored after a personal request from the organizers; Pavlov said that he is sure that this was not an intentional disruption, but a misunderstanding and that he is confident that Ykt.ru will keep supporting the project, as it has done since its first steps. 873: 1860:. Nicky Barr was born on 10 December 1915 in Wellington, New Zealand, but moved to Australia in 1921. In 1939 he joined the Wallabies, the Australian national rugby team. However, after failing to play against the United Kingdom due to the outbreak of World War II, on 4 March 1940 he joined the Australian air force. As a pilot, he was posted to North Africa with No. 3 Squadron, eventually taking lead in May 1942; shortly afterwards, he was shot down and brought to Italy. He escaped, was repatriated to England, and helped with the invasion of Normandy. He died on 12 June 2006. 977: 1806: 2206: 426:), and the deployment of a series of video playback enhancements currently bundled as the TimedMediaHandler extension. Once again, a resurgence in the LiquidThreads projects is on the cards, although given its long, complex and difficult development history, exactly how and when this might happen is very difficult to pin down. Indeed, there is still time for the whole LT project to rise and fall in 2012, and hence still time for communities to shape how the software behind a top-ten website develops over the course of the next 12 months. 2049:. The Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals—historically also known as the Best Country Vocal Performance, Duet, and later Best Country Vocal Collaboration—was a Grammy Award for two or more country singers who collaborated on a song.

The most nominated are Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson, with nine nominations apiece. 1790: 1159: 1326: 1558: 1798: 1315: 1878:, in Norfolk, England, between the villages of Titchwell and Thornham, is a nature reserve owned and managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

Artefacts found in the marsh date back to the Upper Paleolithic, and there are some abandoned military constructions scattered throughout it. 1230: 2498: 2233: 1585: 1186: 900: 492: 176: 360: 2488: 2223: 1575: 1176: 890: 482: 166: 1828:. Lamb, born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, on 5 January 1948, was arrested in June 1966 for the murder of two people and the wounding of another two. Found legally insane by the court, Lamb was sentenced to indefinite internment at a mental hospital but was released in 1973. Later that year he joined the Rhodesian Security Forces. He died from friendly fire on 7 November 1976 and was given a "hero's funeral" in Salisbury, with his ashes returned to Windsor. 2077:. At the 1964 Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria, 1,095 athletes representing 36 National Olympic Committees competed in 34 events across 10 disciplines. The most successful country in total number of medals was the USSR, with 25 medals (11 of them gold), followed by Norway in second position and Austria in third. Two competitors, British luge competitor Kazimierz Kay-Skrzypeski and the Australian alpine skiier Ross Milne, died in training. 465: 347:
than 20 thousand similar revisions in 2010. Although the figures alone do not capture the value of the programming work done during 2011, they do suggest that more developer hours were devoted to improving the software behind Wikimedia wikis in 2011 than in 2010, a finding supported by the leap in the number of bugs fixed during the year, up from from 2183 in 2010 to 3584 last year.
