== Current Events for January 17, 2009 (Thursday) ==

Why do the current events section for the 17th look really bad (improperly formatted) right now. Is someone willing to fix this? --YAYsocialism

== Stale news items in Topics in the News ==

Most of the items in Topics in the News of June 22nd, 2010 are stale.
I think we need someone to watch this section to keep it fresh and worth reading. [[Special:Contributions/63.138.70.132|63.138.70.132]] ([[User talk:63.138.70.132|talk]]) 23:47, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
:The place to suggest updates for In The News is at [[Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates]].-[[User talk:gadfium|gadfium]] 00:27, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

== Asteroid occultation ==

Upcoming event:

: At 21:57 UT, on Thursday, July 8, 2010, the 50 km wide asteroid [[472 Roma]] will occult the star [[Delta Ophiuchi]] in an event lasting about five seconds. The occultation path will cross central Europe along a band running through Stockholm, Copenhagen, Bremen, Nantes and Bilbao. This will be the only asteroid occultation event visible to the naked eye during the 21st century.

Ref.:
: {{cite news | first=Detlef | last=Koschny | date=July 2, 2010 | title=Watch While an Asteroid Eats a Star | work=Space Situational Awareness | publisher=ESA | url=http://esa-mm.esa.int/SPECIALS/SSA/SEMPN9PZVAG_2.html | accessdate=2010-07-06 }}

Note: these events can be astronomically useful because a cross-sectional profile of the asteroid can be constructed by timing the occultation at various locations. Thanks.—[[User:RJHall|RJH]] ([[User_talk:RJHall|''talk'']]) 20:06, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

== Categorizing of Current Events portals ==

In case you guys haven't noticed, I [[WP:Be Bold|took initiative]] yesterday, and divided each day's CE portals into categories.

The reason why I did it was because I believe the old system was way too disorganized, and as a news (or current events, if you prefer) aggregator of sorts, we need to be more organized.

Some users have raised the issue that we might need to discuss the categories that are included. So, I've decided to ask for your help in determining what categories should be used. [[User:Kiteinthewind|Kiteinthewind]] [[User talk:Kiteinthewind|Leave a message!]] 05:39, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

===My Proposal===
For good measure, I'm including my criteria for the categories
*Current Events: news of significant impact or importance on that day
*Science: news related to science and environment, but not significant enough for the CE category
*Politics and Elections (or simply Politics, if there are no elections that day): All political stories, except those that are really significant, and all election stories.
*Sports: All sports stories
*Arts and Entertainment: All arts and entertainment stories.

I have decided to start a taskforce page to coordinate reforms in this area. Please visit the [[User:Kiteinthewind/Current Events Portal Reform Taskforce|taskforce page]] to comment and propose reforms on this page!

I am against this proposal there isnt enough events to fill the cats, and I feel it is unneeded and what goes into what Cat can be argued about too much.

Also, we are talking about very general categories here, anything to sort out the mess of news that appeared here before. I will admit that we need to settle what goes into what cats, but then, some are no-brainers. This is why we need to develop rules, and have trial runs, instead of quashing the idea at first sight.

:::Yes, there may be arguments, but those can be ironed out, and we will iron them out here. Nothing is easy, and I did not expect this to be. However, this "difficulty" is really not a reason for us to back away from this proposal (I would dare say it's a pathetic reason, but I will [[WP:AGF|AGF]].)

The section "Current events", and even sometimes "Other current events" (I have removed some of those already), within a page named "Current events" makes it really difficult to understand what topics to put in which sections. Aren't the topics included within the section "Armed conflicts and incidents", "Politics", etc. also current events by virtue of being included in a page named "Current events"? I am afraid this makes me think of the famous categorizing of animals, in "a certain Chinese encyclopedia called the Heavenly Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge", into
:"''(a) those that belong to the emperor; (b) embalmed ones; (c) those that are trained; (d) suckling pigs; (e) mermaids; (f) fabulous ones; (g) stray dogs; (h) those that are included in this classification; (i) those that tremble as if they were mad; (j) innumerable ones; (k) those drawn with a very fine camel's-hair brush; (l) etcetera; (m) those that have just broken the flower vase; (n) those that at a distance resemble flies.''"

:My thoughts exactly, Ed. Clear-cut divisions are impossible here, so imo it's best not to attempt it in the first place. Most economic items are also political (Deepwater Horizon), almost every armed conflict is political. For two proposed headers, we've already got subpages ([[Portal:Current events/Sports|Sports]] and [[Portal:Current events/Science and technology|Science and technology]]). And then there are headers like "Current events", "Major current events" and "Other current events" within a page named "Current events", as you describe. Despite all the good intentions of the creators (of which I am convinced, even if it hasn't come across that way), I believe that the structure creates more chaos and confusion than it solves.

::Like I said earlier, to back down because of the potential for arguments on which section we place the newsline in is a rather pathetic excuse to end this experiment. I will not speak for everyone here, but to be brutally honest (and honesty is the best medicine, IMHO), I am rather tired of the unorganized nature of the daily CE portals of the past. This issue can easily be resolved via some form of MOS or something (and I resent the assertions by Edcolins that an MOS is equivalent to the "book" described by a discredited essay of questionable reliability).

Also, newsworthiness is such a nebulous concept that even if we were to "raise the bar", as you have said, it would provoke a lot of oppositions, certainly a lot more opposition than categorizing, IMO.

Well I backed down and am letting it run its course and I have even come to see the good intentions by the creator here, however I contune to be confused. My biggest problem with this now is that the categories contune to be changed, one point its called law, then law and crime, one minnute this is in this section, the next it is in this one. Is there any system that can be put in place here, or does this do more harm than good? - [[User:Knowledgekid87|Knowledgekid87]] ([[User talk:Knowledgekid87|talk]]) 20:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
:I, along with the people involved in this, are working out on the specific naming of the categories. Please [[User:Kiteinthewind/Current Events Portal Reform Taskforce|visit the taskforce page]] for a list of proposals, and also comment on it! [[User:Kiteinthewind|Kiteinthewind]] [[User talk:Kiteinthewind|Leave a message!]] 20:20, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Okay here is my input on the criteria for the categories:

* "Current Events: news of significant impact or importance on that day."

'''Important current events are featured on the main page usually and a 2nd criteria would need to be put in place on what to call impotant enough for this section.'''

* "Science: news related to science and environment, but not significant enough for the CE category."

'''I have no problem with a science section however this can be mixed up with politics such as global warming, an example of an event falling into two sections.'''

* "Politics and Elections (or simply Politics, if there are no elections that day): All political stories, except those that are really significant, and all election stories."

'''Politics can involve and revolve just about any subject.'''

* "Sports: All sports stories"

'''Sports can go along with entertainment other than that I see no problem here'''

* "Arts and Entertainment: All arts and entertainment stories."

'''Again no problem here the conflict I see is Entertainment and sports'''

As more current events are added the more hard it will be to decide what to put where. - [[User:Knowledgekid87|Knowledgekid87]] ([[User talk:Knowledgekid87|talk]]) 20:26, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I understand, and that is why we need some ground rules. Now, with politics, we can focus on, say, elected officials, political scandals, legislations, and those kinds of things. With science, we will simply stick to the facts, and not the passions. [[User:Kiteinthewind|Kiteinthewind]] [[User talk:Kiteinthewind|Leave a message!]] 20:58, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

== Proposals to Categorize the Current events portal ==

I have taken the liberty to put here the various proposals to categorize the newslines in this portal

'''Proposal by [[User:Gregcaletta]]'''
Gregcaletta has proposed the following categories:

#Violent incidents
#Weather and environmental incidents
#Law and politics
#Business and economy
#Science
#Arts and entertainment (or "arts and popular culture" or "arts and celebrity culture".)
#Sport
#Other events

'''Proposal by [[User:Kiteinthewind]]'''
I am proposing the following categories, with guidelines as to which stories will qualify for inclusion in that category.

#Major events- Events so major (such as the BP Oil Spill) that it deserves a separate coverage.
#Arts and entertainment (or Arts and Culture)- Same as Gregcaletta's similarly named category. Mainly covering arts and entertainment-related stories. When a celebrity (Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc.) is on the wrong side of the law, the story will go in this category, not the law category below.
#Armed conflicts and incidents- Name change on Gregcaletta's "Violent incidents" category. Covering stories of war and violent incidents that are not related to wars (in a proper sense), such as terrorist attacks, school shootings, etc.
#Business and Economy- Same as Gregcaletta's similarly named category. Standard business news and news about the economy.
#Politics and Elections (or Politics, when there are no elections)- Separating Gregcaletta's "Law and politics" category into a politics section, and a law section. This will cover political stories, as we normally see it in the news, such as new legislations being passed by lawmakers, politician scandals, etc. Will include election results, when there are election results to be reported on.
#Law- Again, separating Gregcaletta's "Law and politics" category into a politics section, and a law section. Will cover stories related to law and order ([[Law & Order|obvious reason]] why I did not use that term as the title for this category). Will cover crime stories, and court stories.
#Science- Same as Gregcaletta's similarly named category. Everything science, technology, and weather.
#Sports- Same as Gregcaletta's similarly named category. Self-explanatory as to what will go in here.

'''Proposal by [[User:Passionless]]'''
Passionless has taken another approach in the categorizing of stories. He is proposing that we categorize instead by continents, with the big, transcending continent, stories being categorized as "World" stories. There will also be a Science category, and entertainment category.

More discussions on this topic can be [[User:Kiteinthewind/Current Events Portal Reform Taskforce|found here]].

Please feel free to comment. Thank you! [[User:Kiteinthewind|Kiteinthewind]] [[User talk:Kiteinthewind|Leave a message!]] 08:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
*I like Kiteinthewind's categories. Sometimes continent stories can be confusing ie. if Spain or Netherlands wins the world cup. is it an African story. [[User:Capitalistroadster|Capitalistroadster]] ([[User talk:Capitalistroadster|talk]]) 08:32, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

'''Comments''' regarding all proposals: Please don't use "Major events" or "Current events" as cat. headings. Everything on [[Portal: Current events]] should be major current events to start with. Otherwise, it won't be on the page. If you think the BP oil spill should have its separate coverage (I don't think so, though, at least not anymore. Better under "Environment" with weather-related stories.), then maybe the cat. heading should be "BP Oil Spill". --[[User:PFHLai|PFHLai]] ([[User talk:PFHLai|talk]]) 13:16, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

== International relations ==

Why do we need a specific subheader about "International relations"? All international relations are political, they are already covered by the header Politics. [[Special:Contributions/94.212.31.237|94.212.31.237]] ([[User talk:94.212.31.237|talk]]) 10:48, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Purple coalition

2010-07-29T07:48:44Z

94.212.31.237: /* The Netherlands and Belgium */ Tweaked

'''[[Purple]]''' is a common term in [[politics]] for governments or other political entities consisting of parties that have [[red]] and [[blue]] as their [[political colour]]s. It is of particular note in two areas: in the politics the [[Netherlands]] and [[Belgium]] and in the politics of the [[United States]].

==The Netherlands and Belgium==
[[Image:Paars+.svg|thumb|right|380px|The Dutch purple parties VVD, PvdA and D66 + GroenLinks]]

"Purple" (or Paars in [[Dutch language|Dutch]]) is the nickname of a government coalition of [[social democracy|social democrats]] and [[liberalism|liberals]], excluding [[christian democracy|Christian democrats]]. It is derived from the combination of the colour of the social democrats ([[red]]) and liberals ([[blue]]).

Both the Netherlands and Belgium have had such governments. In the [[Politics of the Netherlands|Netherlands]] the two cabinets of [[Wim Kok]] ([[Netherlands cabinet Kok-1|Kok I]] and [[Netherlands cabinet Kok-2|Kok II]]) were composed of social democrats (the [[Dutch Labour Party|Labour Party]], PvdA), progressive liberals ([[Democrats 66]]) and conservative liberals ([[People's Party for Freedom and Democracy]], VVD).

In the [[2010 Dutch cabinet formation]] the possibilities for a ''Purple-plus'' cabinet (PvdA, VVD, D66 and [[GreenLeft]]) was investigated. <ref>[http://www.rnw.nl/english/article/dutch-wont-get-purple-plus-government "Dutch won't get "Purple Plus" government"]</ref> <ref>[http://www.rnw.nl/english/article/dutch-purple-plus-talks-fail "Dutch 'Purple-plus' talks fail"]</ref> <ref>[http://www.rnw.nl/english/bulletin/purple-plus-didnt-fail-lack-time "Purple-plus didn't fail for lack of time"]</ref>

In [[Politics of Belgium|Belgian politics]], the term is used as a term for the two governments of [[Guy Verhofstadt]], from [[1999]] to the general elections of 2007. These cabinets consisted two social-democratic parties ([[Socialist Party – Differently|SP.A]] and [[Socialist Party (francophone Belgium)|PS]]) and two liberal parties ([[Flemish Liberals and Democrats]] and the [[Reformist Movement]]). The first government also included the [[green politics|green]] parties [[Groen!|Agalev]] and [[Ecolo]].

==United States==
{{main|Red states and blue states}}

In the [[United States]], a "purple" state is one where popular support for the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] (red) and [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] (blue) is approximately equal; such states, in elections for the [[President of the United States]], are termed "[[swing state]]s" and are highly-targeted on account of [[Electoral College (United States)|current system]] for electing the President.

Since the system of [[first-past-the-post]] voting generally ensures that either one party or the other has an absolute majority in a legislative chamber, coalitions between the two parties are naturally rather rare. However, a "purple" coalition between the Democrats and dissident Republicans has controlled the [[Alaska Senate]] since 2006.

'''Pedro Delgado Robledo''' (born April 15, 1960 in [[Segovia]]), also known as '''Perico''', is a [[Spain|Spanish]] former professional [[road bicycle racer]]. He won the [[1988 Tour de France]], and the [[Vuelta a España]] in [[1985 Vuelta a España|1985]] and [[1989 Vuelta a España|1989]].

Delgado is 171 centimetres tall (5 ft 7-1/2 in) and used to weigh 64 [[kilogram]]s (141 [[pound (mass)|lb]]). He was a good climber, with an aggressive style, making cycling a spectacle, which gained him fans. On one hand, there were days when he was extremely successful attacking. On the other, he occasionally suffered from big losses of time due to mistakes or strokes of bad luck. He was also a good time-trialist until the nineties, when it became difficult for him to adapt to technical changes in the time-trial bicycles.

The ending of the [[1987 Tour de France]] and the [[1985 Vuelta a España]] and the whole [[1989 Tour de France|1989 Tour]] are among his most memorable participations in major competitions.

He works now as a sports commentator for [[Televisión Española]] during important cycling events.

== Delgado and the ''Tour de France''==

Delgado took part in the ''Tour de France'' eleven times. During his first participation, when he was 23, he rose to second place in the overall classification after the 17th stage, before falling back later in the event.<ref>1983 Tour. Official results of the 17th stage [http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1983_17.php]</ref> Since then, Delgado was determined to achieve victory in this competition.

In 1983, the [[Reynolds (cycling team)|Reynolds]] team participated in the Tour for the first time. Delgado was a young rider, and [[Ángel Arroyo]] was the star of the team. That year the ''Tour'' had four individual time trials (ITT), plus the prologue, and six mountainous stages, so Delgado had enough opportunities to show his talent. After the 17th stage Delgado was second in the overall classification, 1´08" behind [[Laurent Fignon]], another 23-year-old rider competing in the Tour for the first time. Unfortunately, Delgado drank a spoilt milk shake that caused him a stomach cramp during the next stage, ending in [[Morzine]].<ref name="elpais1">Delgado and Arroyo talks about the Tour of France (in Spanish)[http://www.elpais.com/articulo/deportes/83/vimos/caballo/podia/domar/elpepidep/20080721elpepidep_5/Tes]</ref> He lost 25 minutes 34 seconds that day,<ref>1983 Tour. Official results of the 18th stage [http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1983_18.php]</ref> and his first chance of winning the ''Tour''. Delgado ended that Tour in 15th position, 25 minutes 44 seconds behind Fignon.<ref>1983 Tour. Final results [http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1983.php]</ref>

It was not the only setback he had in this race. On the contrary, in different years he suffered the [[fracture]] of a [[clavicle]], the death of his mother during a stage, the communication of a "positive" result in a dope test that finally proved false (but after it was filtered to the media), [[gastroenteritis]], and a tremendous mistake that led him to lose seven minutes in the first two days of the tour of 1989.

===[[1987 Tour de France]]===
Delgado fought an epic battle with [[Stephen Roche]] during the 1987 Tour de France, that was resolved in favour of Roche only in the penultimate stage, an ITT. The final difference was 40 seconds, at the time the second smallest difference ever recorded.<ref>1987 Tour. Final results [http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1987.php]</ref> Delgado was the third best time-trialist that year, but Roche was clearly the best, and both knew that. Roche told a nice anecdote about it twenty years after:<ref>Roche remembers his "annus mirabilis" [http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/jul/05/cycling.tourdefrance1]</ref>

"''We were on French TV after the descent into Morzine'' [the last mountain stage, and Delgado was still leader of the overall classification]'' and, off camera, he came up to me, hugged me, and said 'Bravo, you deserve the yellow jersey'." The TV people couldn't believe it! He's a fabulous competitor, but he's also a great, incredibly gallant guy and I think that's another reason why that Tour was so special''."

===[[1988 Tour de France]]===
Delgado won the 1988 ''Tour'' by a comfortable margin. But a ''Tour'' was never easy for him. The evening after the 17th stage, the television channel "Antenne2" spread the news that Delgado had tested positive in a doping test. His team director [[José Miguel Echevarri]] was informed hours after by the Tour organization without mention of the substance. That night, [[Xavier Louy]], director of the race, went to the hotel where Echavarri was and suggested to him that Delgado should withdraw.<ref>El Pais. July 22, 1988. Page-47</ref> This was similar to the "Merckx affaire" in the 1969 Giro.<ref>Giro 1969: The "Merckx affaire" [http://www.cyclingrevealed.com/timeline/Race%20Snippets/GdI/GdI_1969.htm]</ref>

The following morning Echevarri received the official communication. The substance was [[probenecid]], a medicine for the kidney and also a masking agent of [[anabolic steroids]]. In 1988 every sport had a different list of banned substances, and the [[IOC]] had its own, although there was a commitment to unify the lists in 1990. Probenecid was in the IOC list, but not in the [[Union Cycliste Internationale|UCI]] list, and rule number 35 of the 1988 ''Tour'' regulations stated that the doping test would be carried out in accordance with the UCI rules. The mistake of the laboratory seemed evident, and the technical jury declared that Delgado had not broken any rule.

In 1988 the sanction for this type of doping was a penalty of 10 minutes, which was applied to [[Gert-Jan Theunisse]] during the same 1988 Tour de France; Delgado, having been cleared, received no such penalty. Delgado's final advantage over the second rider in the overall classification, [[Steven Rooks]], was 7:13 minutes. Third, 9:58 behind, was [[Fabio Parra]].

Delgado wore the "''[[maillot jaune]]''" for eleven days, and passed doping tests every day. There was no trace of probenecid nor steroids in any other test. He affirmed that he would always be grateful for the support received from the French public during those days.<ref>The 1988 Tour (in French)[http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1988.php]</ref><ref name="elpais1"/>

Xavier Louy was replaced as Tour director months later.<ref>"La petit histoire". Louy replaced (in French)[http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1989.php]</ref>

===[[1989 Tour de France]]===

Delgado did not win the 1989 ''Tour'', but it marked, perhaps, his most spectacular performance in the race. Showing up 2m 40s late for the [[prologue]], Delgado covered the distance only 14 seconds slower than [[Erik Breukink]], the stage winner.<ref>1989 Tour. Official results of the prologue stage [http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1989_p.php]</ref> He became the only defending champion to begin the race in last place, 2:54 behind Breukink. As Delgado admitted later, that night he was very nervous and did not sleep. The following day there were two stages. Due to this he was very weak and suffered [[hypoglycemia]]<ref>The 1989 Tour in "Velo101" (in French)[http://www.velo101.com/magazine/default.asp?Id=386&Section=Histoire]</ref> in the second stage, a decisive team time-trial. That day he would have been dropped by his team had they not waited, and Delgado lost more time than in the previous stage, 4:32.<ref>1989 Tour. Official results of the second stage [http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1989_2.php]</ref> After that second stage, Delgado was last in the overall classification, more than seven minutes behind the best-classified of the favourites, [[Laurent Fignon]].

Delgado rode the rest of the race on the offensive. His reaction started in the 5th stage, a 73 km individual time-trial. He was second in the stage, 24 seconds behind an impressive [[Greg LeMond]].<ref>1989 Tour. Official results of the 5th stage [http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1989_5.php]</ref> In the first mountain stage, Delgado attacked during the last climb, gaining 29",<ref>1989 Tour. Official results of the 9th stage [http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1989_9.php]</ref> but in the next stage Delgado, together with [[Robert Millar]], finished 3:26 ahead of Fignon and 3:38 ahead of Lemond. Delgado was now 4th overall, 2:53 behind the leader, Fignon.<ref>1989 Tour. Results of the 10th stage [http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1989_10.php]</ref> After the 17th stage, finishing in Alpe d´Huez, final victory still seemed to be possible, Delgado was third overall, 1:55 behind Fignon and 1:29 behind Lemond. But Delgado, exhausted, was unable to make up all the time he had lost in the early stages, and the great final fight of that Tour had only two major figures: Laurent Fignon and the final winner, Greg Lemond.

'''Zsa Zsa Gabor''' (born February 6, 1917), also known as '''Sári Prinzessin von Anhalt''' since her marriage to [[Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt]], is a Hungarian-American actress, [[socialite]] and [[beauty queen]].

==Early life==
Zsa Zsa Gabor was born as '''Sári Gábor''' (''Sári'' is the diminutive for the Hungarian first name ''Sarolta'') in [[Budapest]] (then part of the [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian Empire]]), the middle daughter of Vilmos Gábor, a soldier, and [[Jolie Gábor]].<ref>
[http://www.filmreference.com/film/29/Zsa-Zsa-Gabor.html Zsa Zsa Gabor Biography]</ref> Her sisters, [[Magda Gabor|Magda]] and [[Eva Gabor|Eva]], also became actresses and socialites. Their mother, Jolie (Tillemann Jánosné), was of Jewish descent, and was related to Annette Tilleman Lantos, the wife of California politician [[Tom Lantos]].<ref>[http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/01/01/MNGBDNB8MF1.DTL&type=printable Lantos the master storyteller, communicator]</ref>

Following studies at a Swiss boarding-school, Madame Subilia's, On a trip to [[Vienna]] in 1936, she was discovered by the famous tenor [[Richard Tauber]] and was invited to sing the [[soubrette]] role in his new [[operetta]] ''Der singende Traum'' ("The Singing Dream") at the Theater an der Wien, her first stage appearance. Gabor
reportedly had a romance with a composer named Willi Schmidt-Kentner, according to the 1960 "bio-autobiography" ''Zsa Zsa Gábor, My Story'', written by Gabor with Gerold Frank. Her initial fame came from her work as an actress, and grew from her public appearances in the 1950s and 1960s.

Due to her high number of divorces, she once claimed that she was a good housekeeper because every time she divorced, she kept the house. <ref>http://www.ovalbooks.com/xeno/Hungarians.html</ref>.

In 1974, she purchased a two-story Bel Air home from [[Elvis Presley]]. It was built by [[Howard Hughes]]<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/4609597.stm BBC report on Gabor]</ref> and featured an eccentric-looking French roof.

Zsa Zsa was the only Gabor sister to bear a child, [[Hilton family|Constance "Francesca" Hilton]], born March 10, 1947. According to Gabor's 1991 [[autobiography]] ''One Lifetime Is Not Enough'', her pregnancy resulted from rape by then-husband [[Conrad Hilton]].<ref>[http://www.vanityfair.com/fame/features/2007/10/zsazsa200710?currentPage=2 ''Vanity Fair'' review of Gabor's book]</ref>

In 2005, Gabor accused her daughter Francesca of larceny and fraud, alleging that she had forged her signature to get a $2 million loan on her mother's Bel Air house, and filed a lawsuit against Francesca in a California court. However the Santa Monica Superior Court threw out the case due to Zsa Zsa Gabor's refusal to appear in court or to sign an affidavit that she indeed was a co-plaintiff on the original law suit filed by Fredrick von Anhalt.<ref>[http://www.news24.com/News24/AnanziArticle/0,6935,2-1343-1345_1728964,00.html "Zsa Zsa says daughter stole $2m"]</ref>

Gabor, an early political supporter of [[Ronald Reagan]], is a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]].<ref>{{Citation

===Legal difficulties===
On June 14, 1989, Gabor was accused of slapping the face of a [[Beverly Hills, California|Beverly Hills]] police officer named Paul Kramer when he stopped her for a traffic violation.<ref>[http://www.mugshots.net/zsa_zsa_gabor ''Mugshots.net''] Retrieved on 2007-04-18</ref> She was found guilty of the assault in a well-publicized trial and sentenced to three days (72 hours) in the [[El Segundo, California|El Segundo]] jail. The judge also required her to pay $13,000 in court costs. She testified that her behavior had been provoked by the officer, who she said had behaved extremely rudely and insulted her with obscenities. This fiasco was published in the documentary, ''The People vs. Zsa Zsa Gabor'', without her consent.

She poked fun at her role in the incident in various cameo appearances:

* In the [[1991 in film|1991]] film ''[[The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear]]'', Gabor was pulled over by the police car at the end of the opening credits. She then proceeded to step out of the car and slap the red light, then walked away, muttering, "Ach, this happens every...time when I go shopping."
* In the [[1993 in film|1993]] film version of ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies (1993 film)|The Beverly Hillbillies]]'', in a line-up the detective described Zsa Zsa's character as a woman who was involved in what was described as a "drive-by slapping."
* In the November 18, 1991, season 2, episode 10 of ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'', when Gabor showed up as a guest at the Banks' residence, [[Hilary Banks]] asked, "There's something that I'm just dying to know." Gabor responded by saying, "Yes, I did it ... and he deserved to be slapped." Subsequently, when [[Carlton Banks]] accidentally slapped a cop with a pair of gloves while trying to slap his cousin [[List of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air characters#Will Smith|Will Smith]], Gabor replied by saying, "I have witnesses, it wasn't me."
* She discussed the incident in an appearance on [[Howard Stern]]'s show, making her the oldest celebrity to appear on Stern's program. She also debunked rumours of [[George Sanders]]' sexuality, which Stern called into question.

Gabor also had a long-running feud with [[Elke Sommer]] that escalated into a [[libel]] suit.<ref name="pool1993">Pool, Bob (December 9, 1993). $3.3-Million Libel Award in Sommer-Gabor Feud. ''[[Los Angeles Times]]''</ref>

==Recent health==
Gabor was a passenger in an [[car accident|automobile accident]] that occurred on November 27, 2002. She was initially reported as being in a [[coma]] when she was actually conscious at the time medical assistance arrived. She left the hospital in early January 2003, but required continued physical therapy.

On July 7, 2005, she suffered a massive [[stroke]], leaving her in a critical condition at a local hospital. She underwent [[surgery]] to remove a blockage in her [[carotid artery]]. She returned home on July 15. In early September 2007, she underwent surgery to deal with after-effects of her previous stroke. On September 18, 2007, aged 90, she underwent surgery to treat a leg infection, which developed as a result of her immobility.<ref>[http://www.courant.com/features/lifestyle/columnists/hce-nujava0920.artsep20,0,835075.column?coll=hc_home_xpromo Report on Zsa Zsa Gabor's health]</ref>

On July 17, 2010, Gabor was taken to the hospital after she fell out of bed while watching television at her home in [[Bel Air, Los Angeles]]. She suffered several broken bones.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wireupdate.com/wires/7731/actress-zsa-zsa-gabor-hospitalized-in-a-bad-condition-after-fall-at-home/ |title=Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor hospitalized in a 'bad condition' after fall at home |publisher=[[BNO News]] |date=July 17, 2010 |accessdate=July 18, 2010}}</ref> She remains hospitalized at [[Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center]] where she was listed in serious condition. She had a successful 3-1/2 hour hip replacement surgery on the morning of July 19, 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2010/07/zsa-zsa-gabor-hip-replacement-surgery.html |title=Zsa Zsa Gabor hip surgery successful, her husband says |publisher=[[LA Times]] |date=July 19, 2010 |accessdate=July 19, 2010}}</ref> <ref>{{cite web|url=http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2010/07/zsa-zsa-gabor-hospitalized/1 |title=Zsa Zsa Gabor hospitalized |publisher=[[USA Today]] |date=July 18, 2010 |accessdate=July 18, 2010}}</ref>

Gabor's present husband told reporters that as of July 23, 2010, her condition has become more critical and that she has not been responding to any human contact due in large part to a concussion she suffered when she fell out of her bed.<ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100723/en_nm/us_gabor_3</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0AzhaI2nQQ</ref>. These reports were denied the same day by Gabor's daughter Constance "Francesca" Hilton. She issued a statement while visiting her mother at the Los Angeles hospital.<ref>http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/38385180/ns/today-entertainment/</ref> "She is not in a coma. She is not on any kind of death watch. She is responsive and on medications. All vital signs are still going strong, and she is talking," Hilton said in a statement. <ref>http://ca.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idCATRE66M4YM20100723</ref>

==Financial problems 2009==
On January 25, 2009, the ''[[Associated Press]]'' reported that attorney Chris Fields has stated that forensic accountants determined that Gabor may have lost as much as $10 million invested with swindler [[Bernard Madoff]], possibly through a third-party money manager.<ref>[http://www.cnbc.com/id/28847266/for/cnbc/ CNBC report on financial losses due to Bernie Madoff]</ref><ref>[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article5590788.ece "Gabor's Husband Says They Lost $10 Million Due to Madoff", ''The Times Online'' (January 26, 2009)]</ref> [[Marcus Prinz von Anhalt]], a German nightclub owner and adopted son of Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, reportedly provided significant financial assistance to the couple.<ref>[http://www.princegermany.com/press/press145.html "Sein Adoptivsohn hilft ihm aus der Patsche"] ''Freizeitwoche'', 18 February 2009 {{de icon}}</ref> However, the official New York Bankruptcy Court victims documents do not show Zsa Zsa Gabor as a victim. An attorney for Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, Frederick von Anhalt, claims that Gabor may have lost the money because of Madoff.

::<s>Bumped from below... again. With no disrespect to Spencer who obviously has long experience in this area.</s> My apologies; didn't see the talk page discussion.
:Now I'll admit "retiring from public life" is not in itself a major change like say... death. However, this marks the end of a long and respected career of a man who, besides being a Nobel Laureate, is also one of the most internationally recognized figures in modern history. Given the gravitas that comes by simply mentioning his name, I would argue that this story ''can'' be considered '''internationally significant''', and seeing as how no one can deny that Tutu qualifies as '''respected in his field'''; I figured it was worth the bump. I mean, it's like if the [[14th Dalai Lama|Dalai Lama]] held a press conference and announced that he would ''no longer actively seek autonomy for the Tibetan people from the Chinese Government''; it's a story you just gotta run with.

::::'''Comment''': If I really believed for one minute that this was the greatest discovery in 50 years as the project archaeologists like to claim, I'd support this being in ITN.

There's also the [[Amesbury Archer]] 3 miles away. Unfortunately these claims are just hyperbole for what is essentially another monument in the WHS.

*'''Comment'''. So is anyone going to bother stating what this opinion would actualy change? Are floods of recognitions now going to come in? Is Serbia going to invade? Is Russia going to invade? Are Kosovo now going to get a seat in the UN? Are Kosovo going to become an EU state? I've had a look, and none of this sort of info can be found in the current Wikipedia articles. Nobody has even bothered to include it in this nomination. This opinion looks for all the world as if it really has nothing to do with Kosovo, and is just a bit of ICJ wonkery that is more important for future secessions than in changing anything wrt Kosovo's international realtions. [[User:MickMacNee|MickMacNee]] ([[User talk:MickMacNee|talk]]) 13:22, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
**Personally, I think it will greatly increase the will of Transnistria and Nagorno-Karabakh. I don't think a flood of recognitions will come in to other countries, or even to Kosovo. Russia will not invade. Serbia probably will not invade. Kosovo will not get a seat at the UN so long as two veto-holders (Russia and China) do not recognize their independence. The EU... any accession to the EU would probably be at least a decade off, so they'll be in no hurry to push on that. Basically, I think this has less to do with Kosovo and more to do with all the other frozen conflicts. If Kosovo's declaration is held to be legal, then Nagorno-Karabakh, for example, will be emboldened, and work even harder for its independence, and perhaps some countries (I'm looking at you, Cyprus and Armenia) will sack up and finally recognize it. It's essentially making it internationally legal to unilaterally declare independence, something which so far has not necessarily been held as a right. --[[User:Golbez|Golbez]] ([[User talk:Golbez|talk]]) 13:43, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Keep in mind that the ICJ decided that the declaration, as a text is not illegal, but decided not to rule on the issue of secession and independence and statehood itself and left that to the UN General Assembly. So the ICJ ruled that the independence declaration from 17 Feb 2008 is not illegal and not that the independence is not illegal which they considered a political question. Disappointing scope of the decision - to say the least - and we can see that all of the countries are just sticking to their position, as Slovakian representative stated - "the ICJ ruling changed nothing". Without discussing the implications they neither gave a final ruling on Kosovo but pushed the ball to the incompetent UNGA nor thus did they give some explanation for all the other situations like Abkhazia.--[[User:Avala|Avala]] ([[User talk:Avala|talk]]) 23:19, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Thirdly, this is not the Wikipedia for topics covering the English speaking world, it is Wikipedia in the English language. It's a subtle difference, but an important one. ITN is not a news service, we don't judge newsworthyness considering what we think our hypothetical readership is interested in.

Does [[Ban Ki Moon]] turn around and go, "Oh you're from Surinam... oh I have no interest in your insignificant country".

I mean are we really suggesting that an election in India is more internationally important than one in the US or that one in DR Congo is more internationally noteworthy than one in the UK or France.

There seems to be a continual single mindedness here were users use the rationale that "its not important to me, therefore its not important at all". The death of the Yankees owner (they're a baseball team apparently) may be notable to parts of north America and a fair few baseball fans across the globe, but would be completely non-notable to the vast majority of the global population. So what is the difference? This election will be notable to the population of Suriname and anyone interested in South American politics (and probably a fair few dutch people as well), but will again not be notable to that vast majority of the global population. But that is not what ITN is for. It is not competing with the media and as such does not need to make sure it news items 'sell' it to users. Its role is highlight updated articles and maybe, just maybe teach someone something new. God forbid an encyclopaedia do that --[[User:Daviessimo|Daviessimo]] ([[User talk:Daviessimo|talk]]) 07:11, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

:'''Oppose'''. Surprised this sort of debate died down when we posted Nauru, which has a fraction of the significance of Suriname. Nauru's population can fit in half of a regulation sized NBA arena, yet we deemed it to be noteworthy enough for inclusion on ITN. What nonsense. Most municipal Australian elections have greater impact. I don't think we should necessarily set a bar on the population, but on significance of an event. ITN is completely election-obsessed and some of the stories are just not relevant. In fact, the only cycle of irrelevant stories that keep appearing on here are election stories. Everything else we are at least able to use some degree of subjective judgment. And please, do not post this one after so many opposes.

::If only to get some fresh ideas flowing about this sort of item, I suggest that we create a repository of these stories in which we can catalog them for say... a week. Then at the end of the news week we can select the largest (comparatively) and most influential (again comparatively) and place them on ITN. Boat sinkings and the like can be devastating and tragic, but not ITN worthy due to the fact that a Ship sinking in Malaysia will not normally generate media attention from the English speaking world, unless it was truly an international tragedy. Whereas, for the past ''decade'' now, the international focus of the western world has been locked on the Middle East, and as such even medium sized suicide bombings can become ITN worthy given the sheer amount of coverage they are likely to receive. For '''C'''ommonly '''O'''ccurring items like this, I.E. items which ''are'' ITN worthy but are too numerous to post regularly, we could begin WP:ITN/CO for example. Then once all of the relevant data has been gathered about the stories at the end of the week, and the necessary updates have been made/pages created, we can select the most ITN worthy of these stories and post them. Devastating bombings are ''still'' posted, and ITN ''is no longer'' inundated by the shear numerical weight of them all. (although true international crises can be posted immediately as per consensus). It is also worthwhile to note that creating this archive will have long-term benefits for ITN as it will serve it's purpose indefinitely. There are going to be terrorist attacks for many, many years and ships will continue sinking and planes will continue crashing forever,... statistically speaking. Thoughts? [[User:Cwill151|Cwill151]] ([[User talk:Cwill151|talk]]) 01:07, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Also, in terms of policy. After looking through the archives, it seems long-standing ITN precedent never to have two of these stories run concurrently except in the most extreme cases. Therefore in deciding between two(or more) stories of similar type and value, I would (unfortunately) have to decide based on degree of news coverage. If there was for example, a bombing in Iraq ''and'' a bombing in Somalia: at roughly the same time, with appreciably similar number of casualties, and based on the same principle(Islamo-ethnic conflict), but the bombing in Iraq received more news coverage; I would have to vote for the one in Iraq. ITN partially serves as a guide for navigating the wiki, if more English readers are likely to come here looking for info on Iraq, it's our job to have Iraq on the front page to make it easier for them to find it.

====World's oldest champagne====
*Bumped from yesterday in the hope of attracting more attention. [[User:HJ Mitchell|'''HJ Mitchell''']] | [[User talk:HJ Mitchell|Penny for your thoughts? ]] 18:31, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Divers have discovered what's though to be the world's oldest champagne- produced in the 1780s. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-10673322 (BBC)]

::::It's a 98% certainty according to AFP, but the shape of the bottle proves beyond reasonable doubt that it's pre-French Revolution, which would make it the oldest or 2nd oldest drinkable champagne.

:::I agree with meco; however, current ITN precedent and practice seem to indicate that these types of stories get posted. If we ignore it, someone may complain "You posted the winner of x-sporting competition, but you ignored an incident where y-number of people were killed". (The media does that all the time, anyway). I think it would be useful to have a discussion on creating some criteria for how we judge catastrophes that involve large death tolls. I would say the same problem exists with boat sinkings which are very commonplace in poorer heavily populated countries and often involve high death tolls. I don't have an objection to not posting this but will we stick to a consistent policy in the future?--[[User:Johnsemlak|Johnsemlak]] ([[User talk:Johnsemlak|talk]]) 13:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
::::The problem with a policy is that you have to name-names about who is unstable :(, and that list can be argued about too. Overall I also '''oppose''' due to there being lots of similar bombs in Iraq at the moment :(. -- [[User:Eraserhead1|Eraserhead1]] <[[User_talk:Eraserhead1|talk]]> 13:48, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::For Iraq and Afghanistan, I think we should only be posting the events that have an exceptionally high death toll or have some other effect- significant political repercussions, notable people killed, something like that- but sadly theses incidents are all too common in those countries at the minute. :( [[User:HJ Mitchell|'''HJ Mitchell''']] | [[User talk:HJ Mitchell|Penny for your thoughts? ]] 15:44, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
::If only to get some fresh ideas flowing about this sort of item, I suggest that we create a repository of these stories in which we can catalog them for say... a week. Then at the end of the news week we can select the largest (comparatively) and most influential (again comparatively) and place them on ITN. Boat sinkings and the like can be devastating and tragic, but not ITN worthy due to the fact that a Ship sinking in Malaysia will not normally generate media attention from the English speaking world, unless it was truly an international tragedy. Whereas, for the past ''decade'' now, the international focus of the western world has been locked on the Middle East, and as such even medium sized suicide bombings can become ITN worthy given the shear amount of coverage they are likely to receive. For '''C'''ommonly '''O'''ccurring items like this, I.E. items which ''are'' ITN worthy but are too numerous to post regularly, we could begin WP:ITN/CO for example. Then once all of the relevant data has been gathered about the stories at the end of the week, and the necessary updates have been made/pages created, we can select the most ITN worthy of these stories and post them. Devastating bombings are ''still'' posted, and ITN ''is no longer'' inundated by the shear numerical weight of them all. (although true international crises can be posted immediately as per consensus). It is also worthwhile to note that creating this archive will have long-term benefits for ITN as it will serve it's purpose indefinitely. There are going to be terrorist attacks for many, many years and ships will continue sinking and planes will continue crashing forever,... statistically speaking. Thoughts? [[User:Cwill151|Cwill151]] ([[User talk:Cwill151|talk]]) 01:07, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Also, in terms of policy. After looking through the archives, it seems long-standing ITN precedent never to have two of these stories run concurrently except in the most extreme cases. Therefore in deciding between two(or more) stories of similar type and value, I would (unfortunately) have to decide based on degree of news coverage. If there was for example, a bombing in Iraq ''and'' a bombing in Somalia: at roughly the same time, with appreciably similar number of casualties, and based on the same principle(Islamo-ethnic conflict), but the bombing in Iraq received more news coverage; I would have to vote for the one in Iraq. ITN partially serves as a guide for navigating the wiki, if more English readers are likely to come here looking for info on Iraq, it's our job to have Iraq on the front page to make it easier for them to find it. But, that's just my opinion and I'm sure there are others. [[User:Cwill151|Cwill151]] ([[User talk:Cwill151|talk]]) 01:33, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Batoo

2010-07-24T21:00:28Z

94.212.31.237: /* Registering for Western users */ Verges on spam

'''Batoo''' is a variant of the board game [[Go (game)|Go]], originating in [[Korea]]. The name stems from a combination of the Korean words ''baduk'' (“Go”) and ''juntoo'' (“battle”). It is played entirely in [[cyberspace]], and differs from Go in a number of ways, most noticeably in the way in which certain areas of the board are worth different point values. The other principal difference is that both players place three stones before the game begins, and may also place a special “hidden stone”, which affects the board as a regular stone but is invisible to the opponent.

= Gameplay =
Batoo is usually played on an 11x11 board, although some games may take place in boards as large as 13x13. Boards in Batoo usually have + point and - point spots. When a player plays on these spots, they will either gain or lose five points. Different "maps" will have different + point locations and - point locations.Before the game begins, both players will place a "base build", consisting of three marked stones. When players are making their base-builds, they cannot see their opponent's base build. If there is overlap, a - point will replace the pair of stones. Base stones are worth 5 points each, as opposed to a normal stone which is worth only 1.
The player to move first is the player who is willing to give the opponent the most points for playing second. This process is also known as "turn betting".Once the base building and the turn betting end, both players have 25 second intervals to make their move. For every stone on the board, a player will gain 1 point. If a player takes more than 25 seconds to make his/her move, he/she will lose 2 points [unless a character special ability is used] and a new 25 second interval will begin. If more than 3 25 second intervals are taken by any player during the game he/she will lose the game. The territory each player has at the end of the game is then added to the score.

=== Hidden Stone ===
The most unique aspect about Batoo is the Hidden Stone. Once per game, every player may play a Hidden Stone instead of a normal stone. The Hidden Stone is not revealed to the opponent until he/she plays a move where the Hidden Stone is located or until he or she locates it with a scan. A player may use "scan" for 2 points to click a spot on the board and know whether the Hidden Stone is in it or not. The player may make a normal or hidden stone move following the scan.

= Characters, Special Abilities, and Customization =
A player can select one of three characters that grant the player special in game abilities. A fourth character can be bought using the in game currency. The players can also buy different color substitutes for black stones [dark red, dark green, dark violet, dark blue] and can also buy different looking boards with a different theme to them with the in game currency.

= Ranking =
Player ability in Batoo is determined by "levels". A player will begin at level 5 and can grow to be up to level 35.

{{otheruses4|touch rugby games in general|the formal competitive sport|Touch football (rugby league)}}

'''Touch rugby''' refers to games derived from [[rugby football]] in which players do not tackle in the traditional, highly physical way, but instead touch their opponents using their hands on any part of the body, clothing, or the ball.

A formal, competitive variety, known as [[Touch football (rugby league)|Touch]], developed from [[rugby league]] and now exists as a sport in its own right. In addition, touch rugby games are played as training activities for rugby league and rugby union; as safer variants of rugby, particularly in schools and junior clubs, and as an informal social sport.

==Features==
Touch rugby has a number of differences from the traditional games, including its simplicity (requiring very little equipmnent or even goalposts), its ease of learning and the decreased likelihood of injury. As a result it is a popular social game; mixed-gender and women-only games are also very popular. [http://www.touchrugbyleague.com Touch Rugby League] is a growing competition in Brisbane, Australia.<ref>http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,25316571-5014143,00.html</ref>

[[Beach Rugby|Beach touch]] is also popular. Social touch games in [[South Africa]] (predominantly the single-touch version) are often played barefoot and as sponsored tournaments at popular seaside holiday sites.

== Rule variations ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=May 2009}}
The most popular, codified form of touch rugby is derived from [[rugby league]] and features two teams of six players. Played under the auspices of the [[Federation of International Touch]] (FIT), it is officially known as [[touch football (rugby league)|Touch]], and is also called touch football, particularly in [[Australia]], and sometimes 'six down' or 'sixes' in [[South Africa]]. [[Touch football (rugby league)|FIT rules]] have become the most common rules used both in FIT-sanctioned competitions and informal games of touch rugby. A version of the FIT rules known as '''one touch''' in South Africa features a change of possession after a single touch rather than the six in the league-derived game.

[[League tag]] is a semi-contact version of rugby league. It was used initially as a coaching aid to get players new to rugby league in Ireland used to the play-the-ball, retreating to an onside line, and upperbody tackling that stops the ball being passed in the tackle. It was formally codified in 2008 at University College Cork, it allows ball carriers to hold off defenders, and defenders to grab the ball carrier in their bid to touch the ball. Touching the ball affects a tackle

Other versions of touch rugby are not fully codified. For example, as an activity for fitness and skills training, and to reduce the risk of injury, rugby players will sometimes play touch rugby based on modified rugby rules. One common variation is that a fair touch must be below the waist, or, to encourage rucking, a small non-contact ruck may be formed when a player is "touched". The "touched" player must fall to the ground as he would if he were tackled, and then two players from the attacking team must "ruck" over him within three seconds to keep possession of the ball. A scrum-half then recovers the ball, and play continues.

Touch rugby is often played informally, rather like a pick-up [[Football (soccer)|soccer]] or [[basketball]] game. In addition to tackles being replaced by ''touches'', the rules of both rugby codes are simplified, removing elements such as [[Scrum (rugby)|scrums]], [[Rugby union gameplay#Ruck|rucks]], [[Rugby union gameplay#Maul|mauls]], [[line-out]]s and kicks.

In the [[United States]], touch is usually played following pre-1967 rugby league rules, minus kicking.{{Fact|date=March 2009}} Players being touched with two hands must place the ball down or play the ball at the spot of the "tackle," and the defensive team must retreat 5 yards or meters. There is often no tackle count, meaning that almost the only way that the defence can obtain the ball is through offensive mistakes. Whenever an offensive infraction occurs (ball into touch, knock-on, or forward pass), the defence receives a tap-kick at the spot of the infraction. Teams switch sides after each try is scored, and the team scoring the try kicks off from the half point.

Until 2003/2004 the English [[RFU]] in its junior development program called ''The Three Stages of the Rugby Continuum'' encouraged the playing of ''Non-contact/touch rugby'' in its under-eights competition, although now promotes [[Tag Rugby|Mini Tag]] instead.{{Fact|date=March 2009}}

== Round of 16 ==

In the Round of 16 section, when you talk about the controversial referees' calls, there's one you can add: David Villa's goal against Portugal was off-side. It can be very hard to notice it if you watch it fast, but if you watch it with attention and carefully, you can clearly see that it was off-side. The referee didn't count it off-side and the goal was valid. This has created controversy in Portugal. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/85.243.216.88|85.243.216.88]] ([[User talk:85.243.216.88|talk]]) 23:48, 6 July 2010 (UTC) 

:Can you give us a reference about the controversy in Portugal? Determining whether the call was correct is out of scope for Wikipedia, but documenting the controversy is appropriate. - Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 00:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:: It was in the article. The ref was in Brazilian Portugese and so I removed it. Villa was not off-side. Xavi was possible a step off-side. You may watch it and http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Sports/2010%20FIFA%20World%20Cup/Match%20Highlights/ID=1533382767 the goal is at 1:30 in the highlight footage. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 00:57, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

:::My understanding of [[WP:NONENG]] doesn't prescribe deleting references because they're in a non-English language. Is that the common interpretation? Deleting references about a controversy based on your own viewing of the video is pretty much precluded per [[WP:NOR]] isn't it? - Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 03:48, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
::::Feel free to restore it. One source is fairly dubious though when there should have been dozens if not hundreds from which to choose..

:: Interesting that most of these so-called citations seem to be from Portuguese "sources." Now, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with sources in foreign languages, but it does make it seem like a case of sore-losing rather than any factual happening. This seems to be a "controversy" among a small number of fanatics, and nothing that has been covered or noted by any major broadcaster. I've followed the games on Univisión, and they spent a lot of time discussing the other examples of controversial and questionable refereeing, in particular, England's un-awarded goal over Germany, but not once did they question the legitimacy of David Villa's goal against Portugal, and none of the Portuguese players, that I recall, claimed his position to be off-side. For these reasons, I think it's quite alright to remove the claim altogether. There's always going to be a select few that will question the opponent's legitimacy, specially when these select few happen to be rooting for the losing team.

:::What he said.[[User:Jlsa|Jlsa]] ([[User talk:Jlsa|talk]]) 00:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:::: CBC is Canada's official broadcaster of the games. The national sports broadcaster commented on several of the refs' calls including the offside goal. However, the comments were all live and I can't cite them as a result. That's why I was aware of it. Canada has no team in the finals. They have fans representing most countries and a large Spanish contingent. Sorry I don't have a source for you though. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 04:12, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

:::::Ok so the news outlets commenting on it:
:::::*Canada's main sports network (CBC)
:::::*Australia's main sports network (Fox Sports)
:::::*Brazil's main sports network (TV Globo)
:::::*The world's biggest sports network (ESPN)
:::::*Every major sports network & newspaper in Portugal. (Sarcastically referring to record, maisfutebol, abola and the other portuguese footballer newspapers as "sources" and a small number of fanatics is perhaps, shall I say, somewhat racist? bigoted? certainly uneducated)
:::::Perhaps it's more of a case of anglocentricity and xenophobia that is causing some users to have an issue with disclosing this entirely factual, scientific, video evidence based controversy. T.W., do your research (i understand that you probably have an issue dealing with "languages") - in the references I provided, pepe, carvalho, danny, queiroz, etc all said the goal was offside.[[User:Utopial|Utopial]] ([[User talk:Utopial|talk]]) 06:39, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::: Actually Sportsnet and TSN are Canada's main sports network (two stations owned by a competitor). CBC simply won the rights to broadcast the games. However, it was not in their official capacity as the broadcaster in which these comments were made. They were made by a sports news personality in conversation with the morning show host in Vancouver, BC the day after the game. It would have happened around 06:45 the day after the game. This is, however, assuming that this is based on my information not based on another report. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 07:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Ok. Similar in Australia - SBS won the rights (I wasn't home to see if they said anything, although I heard that they discussed it), but Fox Sports was able to use the footage and put the offside in each of their world cup news segments & 24/7 rolling news channel as "and we can exclusively reveal for the first time that another world cup goal shouldn't have been allowed" (since FIFA banned the live replay), showing the video/computer analysis. As with you, this is based on my information only as I can't find it online.[[User:Utopial|Utopial]] ([[User talk:Utopial|talk]]) 08:21, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

:: I don't have any issues with languages. I understand [[Castilian Spanish|Spanish]] and [[Portuguese]] quite well, thank you. As for the racist claims... why do you assume I'm of a different race than the majority of Portuguese people? All I said was that the fact that most of these claims came from Portuguese sites does take credibility away. The World Cup is an event seen worldwide, and if the happening had been such an actual controversy, there should be plenty of sources in all languages bringing it to light. Keep in mind, I'm not saying that there aren't, but I won't take on the task of finding them. [[User:Taran Wanderer|T.W.]] ([[User talk:Taran Wanderer|talk]]) 15:39, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

== Final is the first... ==

In the part about the final being the first of whatever, the last one reads "the first final without Brazil, Italy, Germany or Argentina in it." - now is this really neccesary? I mean with four teams in that list I think it is a bit too many to count as a real stat - do we keep updating this list - ie if the 2014 one has two new teams, does it become "first final without Brazil, italy, germany, argentina, netherlands or spain" - it jsut feals like something that has been put in just to be put in. While the others are a definative first since one particular year, this lists an arbitrary number of teams with no inbdication as to what the maximum number of teams in the list can be.

: Ah, just wait a couple of days after the finals when we write the final summary. It should all be easier then. --'''[[User:Tone|Tone]]''' 08:56, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

:For what it's worth, I heard the same comment about those four teams on the radio. It shows that basically the same few countries have played in the final every year. You may as well throw in Netherlands and France and point out this is the first final with ''any'' participant besides those six since 1966. Conversely, you could take Argentina out and point out that all but two previous finals, 1930 and 1978, have involved one of the other three. I have a hard time getting an intuitive sense of how remarkable the four-team version really is with 18 previous finals, but if various media organizations are pointing it out as a "first" I'd err on the side of leaving it in. -- Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 07:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

::If it was a lower number then maybe, but four just feals like an excuse to keep extending it: "First final without [one team]" - fine, "first without x or y" - probably, "first without x,y or z" - hmmmm..., "first without w,x,y or z" - just feels like too many to be notable.

I've noticed there is an eerie lack of anyone mentioning the blatant racism of Europeans before the finals began in South Africa.

== "Netherlands also winning all games on their way to the final" ==

Walter Görlitz, I don't really have a dog in this fight either way, but it occurs to me that the comment that you deleted was likely intended to emphasize the fact that the Netherlands hasn't lost (or drawn) a single match in this World Cup, while Spain had a 2-1-0 record in the Group Stage. It seems to me that might be worth mentioning but, like I said, I'm not overly concerned about it. Just food for thought!

== Edit request from 175.144.254.140, 11 July 2010 ==

<nowiki>{{editsemiprotected}}</nowiki>

Can someone add to the section on the final: ''With their entire on field team bar the goal keeper booked and numerous other offences, the Netherlands gained the record of the worst cheaters in a World Cup final. In the end the world had the last laugh as Netherlands were deserved losers''. I don't have a specific source but I haven't heard any commentary which doesn't basically say the same thing. It wouldn't surprise me if even the Dutch commentators agreed.

:::I think the OP may have been confused. Only 2 members of the starting line up weren't booked (and one of those had left the field so couldn't be booked) excluding the goal keeper which I guess was what the OP was referring to. Note of the onfield team only 4 weren't booked (again excluding the goal keeper because the OP did). Of course Spain weren't much better in this regard since they had 5 unbooked (excluding the goal keeper) i.e. only 1 less. However I agree this doesn't belong.

== De Jong's foul ==

My edit 

The 2010 final will be remembered for Netherlands persistent fouling and Referee Webb's failure to produce a red card for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pau6gjZ5sNw De Jong's high studs first boot into the chest of Alonso]

was reverted by user Dapi89 with the notation "(no evidence it was seen.)" in spite of my linking a youtube video showing the yellow card and the foul in a TV braodcast expected to be seen by 1 billion people. Joking, surely![[User:Phanly|dinghy]] ([[User talk:Phanly|talk]]) 21:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:Per [[WP:NOR]], you shouldn't be putting in your own research. I take "research" in this case to include watching a video and interpreting it as dirty play.

:'''Agree'''. It's a noteworthy curiosity.

:::Font choice is just to clarify my agreement, not a "vote". (I.e. consensus-building, since few day-to-day editing matters are settled by formal vote on Wikipedia.)

== Number of fouls ==

I have an issue with the way one statement in the section about the final is sourced: "The match was affected by a large number of fouls, particularly from the Netherlands." This is based on one source, and it is totally unclear what the basis for the journalist's claim is. I propose replacing it with this link: [http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/statistics/matches/round=249721/match=300061509/index.html]. These are FIFA's match statistics, which show that the Netherlands committed 28 fouls, against 19 for Spain. That is much better proof of the assertion than the Sky News article.

Precedent isn't strictly normative on Wikipedia, but a cursory comparison of the four-paragraph lead here with that of the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006]] or [[2002 FIFA World Cup|2002]] counterparts suggests that things are getting a bit bloated. Association football is always evolving and this tournament had a lot of firsts, but I don't think it's got three times as much lead-worthy material as the 2002 edition. I moved Spain's win up to the head of the 3rd graf for clarity, but there's still lots of work to be done. - [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 01:15, 12 July 2010 (UTC) ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2010_FIFA_World_Cup/Archive_5#Bloating_the_lead Bloating the lead 1])

:I agree. Put the reason column in the players table. In fact, I think we should get rid of the team table and the referee's table altogether. There is a lot of redundant information and since the (tentative) remaining tables would be sortable it would make the page more compact without much info loss.

== Flag links ==

Shouldn't clicking the flags next to the team and referees names link to the countries national team instead of just the country in general? [[User:Tam1hibs|Tam1hibs]] ([[User talk:Tam1hibs|talk]]) 22:01, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

== A fine for a team with five yellow cards in a single match? ==

I've heard something about this but I can't find info about it. If it's true this article would be a good place to mention it. --[[User:Bahati|Bahati]] ([[User talk:Bahati|talk]]) 03:16, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

== Yoann Gourcuff suspension ==

Gourcuff was sent out in the match against South Africa - France's final group match. The table says that his suspension will be served in a match against South Africa, but I don't think that's right. I think the suspension will come in his next international match, but that may have changed.

== Misleading total figures ==

Someone take a look at the bottom of the table under "Sanctions by referee". The figures for total number of matches officiated by the referees, and the total yellow and red cards given by them are not correct. They do not seem to be updated. The figures for the latest matches seems to be included in the table itself, but the editor forgot to update the total number. If one adds all the PKs awarded you get '''11''', and not '''10'''. I hope someone fix this really soon. – [[User:Sandip90|Sandip90]] ([[User talk:Sandip90|talk]]) 17:23, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

== De Jong's foul ==

The 2010 final will be remembered for Netherlands persistent fouling and Referee Webb's failure to produce a red card for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pau6gjZ5sNw De Jong's high studs first boot into the chest of Alonso]

We should have a section with details of the fouls in the Final, including this one.[[User:Phanly|dinghy]] ([[User talk:Phanly|talk]]) 21:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:So you know how people will remember the final five years from now? Or in twenty or thirty or seventy years? [[Special:Contributions/94.212.31.237|94.212.31.237]] ([[User talk:94.212.31.237|talk]]) 23:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

== Comment removed from article ==

I have removed the following comment from the article, which was added by an IP editor, as it should more properly be here. [[User:Dpmuk|Dpmuk]] ([[User talk:Dpmuk|talk]]) 21:43, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:''The total number of yellow cards seems to be different from the official Fifa statistics, any explanation??''

== Individual cards ==

I've corrected all the team disciplinarys and the disciplinarys for Howard Webb so that the artcile is up to date with the final. However, individual statistics still need to be updated. --[[User:AycliffeAngel|AycliffeAngel]] ([[User talk:AycliffeAngel|talk]]) 22:22, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

== Article is too long and messy ==

I think there needs to be a major cleanup of this article. It is far too long and messy. For instance in the "Knockout Stage", we do not need all that is on there since there is already a knockout stage article that has all that information. It will be much more useful if that section is simplified and a bare minimum summary is used. I think this goes for some other aspects of the article such as the "Group Stage", etc. This article really should not be so long.[[User:Frombelow|Frombelow]] ([[User talk:Frombelow|talk]]) 06:54, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
: It is too long and a great deal of redundancy exists.Several of us have tried to reduce the information that exists in other articles, particularly around the matches, and have been shouted-down and edits have been reverted. I was even blocked from editing because I reverted several changes and another editor reported it. Apparently the rules of Wikipedia are that any reverts, even reverting vandalism, count towards breaking [[WP:3RR]]. Someone in the "match results are the reason for this article" camp then moved large sections of prose into a sub-article. I think that article was deleted and the contents all restored here, but I can't remember completely and so many edits happen here it's hard to keep track. I do plan on waiting for a while after the end of the tournament to clean-up the article. It will be at a time after the results of the matches, which I doubt anyone is trying to find in this article any longer anyhow because of the length of time it takes to load, are no longer breaking news. You're welcome to reduce the volumes of information or try to come to some conclusion outside of of editing it. I doubt anyone in that other camp will listen to you since they think this is the only article related to the tournament and they're convinced no visitors will click to other articles even though FIFA's main page on the tournament has only the current match results in a pull-out section. It's a good thing that the people who will oppose your efforts to clean this article up don't earn their living off designing web pages for I fear they would be in the poorhouse sooner rather than later. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 07:10, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

:IMO reducing redundancy in WP is always laudable goal. Years back I made certain suggestions about the [[DRY]] principle but as I recall, no one really took them seriously for WP. Regarding WC articles, I think as much as possible should be offloaded to the more specific articles (except for the very rudimentary -- e.g. match scores). Then comments in the general article would be helpful to dissuade well-meaning new editors from adding that stuff back in the wrong place. - Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 07:17, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

:We have it at 90k. 2006 is at 77k. Somewhere around 80-85 should be our goal because there are a lot of new things in this tournament. However, what we need to do is have discussion about what should stay and what should go. What we should not have, as Walter Görlitz continues to think is his divine right, is unilateral decisions deleting major sections. Walter, you continue to act like you own this article. You do not own this article. You have already been sanctioned once for your actions. Remember, consensus and discussion. I fully support reducing the size of this article, but not with unilateral decisions made up on the spot, with no regard to the article needs and past precedent (we have 18 previous articles to go on, 2 of which were contemporaneously edited as well). Propose sections to be deleted or modified here, why, and then await a discussion and consensus. That does not mean wait a day for one guy to agree with you. [[User:Metallurgist|Metallurgist]] ([[User talk:Metallurgist|talk]]) 22:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
::Please comment on the content and not the editors. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 22:07, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:: With that said, does the number of bytes matter? Page load time is not dependant on the number of bytes but the number of tables and templates. The fewer of those, the better. So if a template takes up only a few bytes but represents a large volume of data, it may be better removed. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 22:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
::: Reading the comments from [[User:Frombelow|Frombelow]] and [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] it seems that the consensus is that material that is contained in other articles should not be repeated here. That might be a good place to start editing since this is not the only article on the tournament. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 22:21, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
::::The length of the article is insane. I dont think anyone is advocating to remove the information. But this article should summarize everything to do with the WC and there should be sup-articles that include the details. Its just logical to do it that way. This was done with the "Event Effects" section, so why should it not happen with the rest? If you go to the 2008 Olympics page, all the sections have links to "main articles" for more details. The Venue section of the 2008 Olympics is short because the details on the venues or in separate articles dedicated to that subject. This should be changed ASAP.[[User:Frombelow|Frombelow]] ([[User talk:Frombelow|talk]]) 05:35, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

== How big is that "cumulative TV audience," really? ==

"Hundreds of broadcasters, representing about 70 countries, are transmitting the Cup to a cumulative TV audience that is predicted by FIFA officials to reach more than 26 billion people." I realize that this comes from the official FIFA page at http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1223134/index.html, but there are [[World population|not in fact 26 billion people on the planet]].

Arguably the statement should stand since it appears to be literally true that "FIFA officials", or at any rate FIFA web-site maintainers, have asserted this. However, it adds a rather silly note to the article. —[[User:Pnh|Pnh]] ([[User talk:Pnh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pnh|contribs]]) 15:30, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
: See [[wikt:cumulative]]. Also see [[#Err...|this]] and [[Talk:2010_FIFA_World_Cup/Archive_4#26 billion people are expected to watch the WC, not 2 billion !|that]]. In any case, this sentence may need editing, seeing as how it causes reader confusion so regularly. --[[User:Illythr|Illythr]] ([[User talk:Illythr|talk]]) 15:43, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
:: This has been discussed multiple times. Please don't reinvent the wheel. Someone changed it to 2.6 billion and I changed it back yesterday. There are 64 matches. It means just over 405 million viewers per match. That's not particularly silly for those who know how to do math. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 18:53, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
::: An editor tried to "fix" a problem that has been solved already in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)]], vis.
:::* The named numbers [[billion]] and [[trillion]] are understood to be ''short scale'', 109 and 1012 respectively (see [[Long and short scales]]). After the first occurrence in an article, ''billion'' may be abbreviated to unspaced ''bn'' ({{xt|$35bn}}). The prefixes ''giga-'', ''tera-'', and larger and their symbols G, T, ... should be limited to computing and scientific contexts.
::: There is no need to indicate 26 000 million based on the style policy. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 20:54, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
:::: The British have officially used the short scale since 1974 and so it's a false issue. Pelase see [[Long and short scales]]. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 21:05, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

:I see no reason not to paraphrase the FIFA assertion into something more reasonable-sounding, e.g. "...are transmitting the Cup to a TV audience that FIFA officials expect to exceed a cumulative 26 billion viewers." So I'm making that edit. - Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 06:33, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

:Heyy, its not about a single match. Its about the whole tournament. A single match may generate less viewership, but in the whole tournament, the total no of viewers of a single match would be multiplied by 64, so its not that surprising as you are thinking.--[[User:Karyasuman|Karyasuman]] ([[User talk:Karyasuman|talk]]) 00:59, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

== intro ==

should say it is the first time an European team wins the cup outside of Europe. [[Special:Contributions/18.111.54.113|18.111.54.113]] ([[User talk:18.111.54.113|talk]]) 20:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
: Maybe, somewhere in the summary. But after we get a winner, though it is obvious that it will be an European team. --'''[[User:Tone|Tone]]''' 21:02, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

== Round of 16 ==

In the Round of 16 section, when you talk about the controversial referees' calls, there's one you can add: David Villa's goal against Portugal was off-side. It can be very hard to notice it if you watch it fast, but if you watch it with attention and carefully, you can clearly see that it was off-side. The referee didn't count it off-side and the goal was valid. This has created controversy in Portugal. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/85.243.216.88|85.243.216.88]] ([[User talk:85.243.216.88|talk]]) 23:48, 6 July 2010 (UTC) 

:Can you give us a reference about the controversy in Portugal? Determining whether the call was correct is out of scope for Wikipedia, but documenting the controversy is appropriate. - Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 00:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
:: It was in the article. The ref was in Brazilian Portugese and so I removed it. Villa was not off-side. Xavi was possible a step off-side. You may watch it and http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Sports/2010%20FIFA%20World%20Cup/Match%20Highlights/ID=1533382767 the goal is at 1:30 in the highlight footage. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 00:57, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

:::My understanding of [[WP:NONENG]] doesn't prescribe deleting references because they're in a non-English language. Is that the common interpretation? Deleting references about a controversy based on your own viewing of the video is pretty much precluded per [[WP:NOR]] isn't it? - Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 03:48, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
::::Feel free to restore it. One source is fairly dubious though when there should have been dozens if not hundreds from which to choose.. I didn't delete the reference based on my own viewing, I deleted the reference because it was not in English and no translation was provided. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 04:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

:: Interesting that most of these so-called citations seem to be from Portuguese "sources." Now, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with sources in foreign languages, but it does make it seem like a case of sore-losing rather than any factual happening. This seems to be a "controversy" among a small number of fanatics, and nothing that has been covered or noted by any major broadcaster. I've followed the games on Univisión, and they spent a lot of time discussing the other examples of controversial and questionable refereeing, in particular, England's un-awarded goal over Germany, but not once did they question the legitimacy of David Villa's goal against Portugal, and none of the Portuguese players, that I recall, claimed his position to be off-side. For these reasons, I think it's quite alright to remove the claim altogether. There's always going to be a select few that will question the opponent's legitimacy, specially when these select few happen to be rooting for the losing team.

:::What he said.[[User:Jlsa|Jlsa]] ([[User talk:Jlsa|talk]]) 00:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:::: CBC is Canada's official broadcaster of the games. The national sports broadcaster commented on several of the refs' calls including the offside goal. However, the comments were all live and I can't cite them as a result. That's why I was aware of it. Canada has no team in the finals. They have fans representing most countries and a large Spanish contingent. Sorry I don't have a source for you though. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 04:12, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

:::::Ok so the news outlets commenting on it:
:::::*Canada's main sports network (CBC)
:::::*Australia's main sports network (Fox Sports)
:::::*Brazil's main sports network (TV Globo)
:::::*The world's biggest sports network (ESPN)
:::::*Every major sports network & newspaper in Portugal. (Sarcastically referring to record, maisfutebol, abola and the other portuguese footballer newspapers as "sources" and a small number of fanatics is perhaps, shall I say, somewhat racist? bigoted? certainly uneducated)
:::::Perhaps it's more of a case of anglocentricity and xenophobia that is causing some users to have an issue with disclosing this entirely factual, scientific, video evidence based controversy. T.W., do your research (i understand that you probably have an issue dealing with "languages") - in the references I provided, pepe, carvalho, danny, queiroz, etc all said the goal was offside.[[User:Utopial|Utopial]] ([[User talk:Utopial|talk]]) 06:39, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::: Actually Sportsnet and TSN are Canada's main sports network (two stations owned by a competitor). CBC simply won the rights to broadcast the games. However, it was not in their official capacity as the broadcaster in which these comments were made. They were made by a sports news personality in conversation with the morning show host in Vancouver, BC the day after the game. It would have happened around 06:45 the day after the game. This is, however, assuming that this is based on my information not based on another report. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 07:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Ok. Similar in Australia - SBS won the rights (I wasn't home to see if they said anything, although I heard that they discussed it), but Fox Sports was able to use the footage and put the offside in each of their world cup news segments & 24/7 rolling news channel as "and we can exclusively reveal for the first time that another world cup goal shouldn't have been allowed" (since FIFA banned the live replay), showing the video/computer analysis. As with you, this is based on my information only as I can't find it online.[[User:Utopial|Utopial]] ([[User talk:Utopial|talk]]) 08:21, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

== Goalscorers ==

Someone has deleted the list of goalscorers from the page and decided that a sub page was adequate. Goalscorers are and always have been an integral part of the World Cup and the articles. There is enormous precedent in this regard, as well as logic and obvious need. I fully support condensing the article, but not in the key areas. Also, it appears no consensus or discussion was made on whether this section should be deleted. As such, I will be reverting the change and restoring the goalscorers. I ask whoever was involved (and I have one guess) to await a discussion here.

I also remind all editors, that Wikipedia is not MY encyclopedia or YOUR encyclopedia, it is OUR encyclopedia. We work here by discussion and consensus, not unilateral "I think it should be done this way. F off" or effective possession of articles. One person in particular has been acting like this is their article. This is not some minor specialist article. We all have a vested interest in it.

:I don't have a strong opinion in either direction, other than a general opinion against long, poorly organized "catch-all" articles. But the status quo with match scores and a nearby link to more detail seems to me a perfectly adequate compromise.

"Precedence" is an incredibly weak argument indeed; [[WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS]].

Two editors in favour of keeping with four in favour of removing. Also consensus seems to have been reached in the editing of the article. Am I mis-reading it? The fact that there's an entire article dedicated to statistics and the goal scorers is a sub-section of that, I'm not sure why it needs to be duplicated in the article that discusses the tournament in general. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 23:45, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

== Bloating the lead ==

I moved a bit of material from the end of the lead to the final section: <blockquote> (for the first time since 1978, when the finalists were the Netherlands, which lost, and Argentina, which was also that year's host country). Netherlands and Spain are the only teams to have won all their qualification matches for the 2010 World Cup, with the Netherlands also winning all games on their way to the final.</blockquote>

It seems to me there's a tendency for a bunch of "first ever" and "first time since" statements to bloat the lead, whereas only a few of them (such as a first-time WC winner) really belong in the lead. I left a comment advising future editors to consider what belongs in the lead. This is especially true between now and Sunday, after which the lead will need to undergo a revision anyway now that we'll know the winner. If any of this is out of line w/o consensus, feel free to adapt as appropriate. - Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 23:32, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

== Final is the first... ==

In the part about the final being the first of whatever, the last one reads "the first final without Brazil, Italy, Germany or Argentina in it." - now is this really neccesary? I mean with four teams in that list I think it is a bit too many to count as a real stat - do we keep updating this list - ie if the 2014 one has two new teams, does it become "first final without Brazil, italy, germany, argentina, netherlands or spain" - it jsut feals like something that has been put in just to be put in. While the others are a definative first since one particular year, this lists an arbitrary number of teams with no inbdication as to what the maximum number of teams in the list can be.

:For what it's worth, I heard the same comment about those four teams on the radio. It shows that basically the same few countries have played in the final every year. You may as well throw in Netherlands and France and point out this is the first final with ''any'' participant besides those six since 1966. Conversely, you could take Argentina out and point out that all but two previous finals, 1930 and 1978, have involved one of the other three. I have a hard time getting an intuitive sense of how remarkable the four-team version really is with 18 previous finals, but if various media organizations are pointing it out as a "first" I'd err on the side of leaving it in. -- Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 07:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Walter Görlitz, I don't really have a dog in this fight either way, but it occurs to me that the comment that you deleted was likely intended to emphasize the fact that the Netherlands hasn't lost (or drawn) a single match in this World Cup, while Spain had a 2-1-0 record in the Group Stage.

{{editsemiprotected}}

Can someone add to the section on the final: ''With their entire on field team bar the goal keeper booked and numerous other offences, the Netherlands gained the record of the worst cheaters in a World Cup final. In the end the world had the last laugh as Netherlands were deserved losers''. I don't have a specific source but I haven't heard any commentary which doesn't basically say the same thing.

:'''Agree'''. It's a noteworthy curiosity.

== Number of fouls ==

I have an issue with the way one statement in the section about the final is sourced: "The match was affected by a large number of fouls, particularly from the Netherlands." This is based on one source, and it is totally unclear what the basis for the journalist's claim is. I propose replacing it with this link: [http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/statistics/matches/round=249721/match=300061509/index.html]. These are FIFA's match statistics, which show that the Netherlands committed 28 fouls, against 19 for Spain. That is much better proof of the assertion than the Sky News article.

== Article is too long and messy ==

I think there needs to be a major cleanup of this article. It is far too long and messy. For instance in the "Knockout Stage", we do not need all that is on there since there is already a knockout stage article that has all that information. It will be much more useful if that section is simplified and a bare minimum summary is used. I think this goes for some other aspects of the article such as the "Group Stage", etc. This article really should not be so long.[[User:Frombelow|Frombelow]] ([[User talk:Frombelow|talk]]) 06:54, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
: It is too long and a great deal of redundancy exists.Several of us have tried to reduce the information that exists in other articles, particularly around the matches, and have been shouted-down and edits have been reverted. I was even blocked from editing because I reverted several changes and another editor reported it. Apparently the rules of Wikipedia are that any reverts, even reverting vandalism, count towards breaking [[WP:3RR]]. Someone in the "match results are the reason for this article" camp then moved large sections of prose into a sub-article. I think that article was deleted and the contents all restored here, but I can't remember completely and so many edits happen here it's hard to keep track. I do plan on waiting for a while after the end of the tournament to clean-up the article. It will be at a time after the results of the matches, which I doubt anyone is trying to find in this article any longer anyhow because of the length of time it takes to load, are no longer breaking news. You're welcome to reduce the volumes of information or try to come to some conclusion outside of of editing it. I doubt anyone in that other camp will listen to you since they think this is the only article related to the tournament and they're convinced no visitors will click to other articles even though FIFA's main page on the tournament has only the current match results in a pull-out section. It's a good thing that the people who will oppose your efforts to clean this article up don't earn their living off designing web pages for I fear they would be in the poorhouse sooner rather than later. --[[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 07:10, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

:IMO reducing redundancy in WP is always laudable goal. Years back I made certain suggestions about the [[DRY]] principle but as I recall, no one really took them seriously for WP. Regarding WC articles, I think as much as possible should be offloaded to the more specific articles (except for the very rudimentary -- e.g. match scores). Then comments in the general article would be helpful to dissuade well-meaning new editors from adding that stuff back in the wrong place. - Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 07:17, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

== How big is that "cumulative TV audience," really? ==

"Hundreds of broadcasters, representing about 70 countries, are transmitting the Cup to a cumulative TV audience that is predicted by FIFA officials to reach more than 26 billion people." I realize that this comes from the official FIFA page at http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1223134/index.html, but there are [[World population|not in fact 26 billion people on the planet]].

Arguably the statement should stand since it appears to be literally true that "FIFA officials", or at any rate FIFA web-site maintainers, have asserted this.

== Round of 16 ==

In the Round of 16 section, when you talk about the controversial referees' calls, there's one you can add: David Villa's goal against Portugal was off-side. It can be very hard to notice it if you watch it fast, but if you watch it with attention and carefully, you can clearly see that it was off-side. The referee didn't count it off-side and the goal was valid. This has created controversy in Portugal. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/85.243.216.88|85.243.216.88]] ([[User talk:85.243.216.88|talk]]) 23:48, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

:: Interesting that most of these so-called citations seem to be from Portuguese "sources." Now, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with sources in foreign languages, but it does make it seem like a case of sore-losing rather than any factual happening. This seems to be a "controversy" among a small number of fanatics, and nothing that has been covered or noted by any major broadcaster. I've followed the games on Univisión, and they spent a lot of time discussing the other examples of controversial and questionable refereeing, in particular, England's un-awarded goal over Germany, but not once did they question the legitimacy of David Villa's goal against Portugal, and none of the Portuguese players, that I recall, claimed his position to be off-side. For these reasons, I think it's quite alright to remove the claim altogether. There's always going to be a select few that will question the opponent's legitimacy, specially when these select few happen to be rooting for the losing team.

== Goalscorers ==

Someone has deleted the list of goalscorers from the page and decided that a sub page was adequate. Goalscorers are and always have been an integral part of the World Cup and the articles. There is enormous precedent in this regard, as well as logic and obvious need. I fully support condensing the article, but not in the key areas. Also, it appears no consensus or discussion was made on whether this section should be deleted. As such, I will be reverting the change and restoring the goalscorers. I ask whoever was involved (and I have one guess) to await a discussion here.

I also remind all editors, that Wikipedia is not MY encyclopedia or YOUR encyclopedia, it is OUR encyclopedia. We work here by discussion and consensus, not unilateral "I think it should be done this way. F off" or effective possession of articles. One person in particular has been acting like this is their article. This is not some minor specialist article. We all have a vested interest in it.

== Bloating the lead ==

I moved a bit of material from the end of the lead to the final section: <blockquote> (for the first time since 1978, when the finalists were the Netherlands, which lost, and Argentina, which was also that year's host country). Netherlands and Spain are the only teams to have won all their qualification matches for the 2010 World Cup, with the Netherlands also winning all games on their way to the final.</blockquote>

It seems to me there's a tendency for a bunch of "first ever" and "first time since" statements to bloat the lead, whereas only a few of them (such as a first-time WC winner) really belong in the lead. I left a comment advising future editors to consider what belongs in the lead. This is especially true between now and Sunday, after which the lead will need to undergo a revision anyway now that we'll know the winner. If any of this is out of line w/o consensus, feel free to adapt as appropriate. - Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 23:32, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

== Final is the first... ==

In the part about the final being the first of whatever, the last one reads "the first final without Brazil, Italy, Germany or Argentina in it." - now is this really neccesary? I mean with four teams in that list I think it is a bit too many to count as a real stat - do we keep updating this list - ie if the 2014 one has two new teams, does it become "first final without Brazil, italy, germany, argentina, netherlands or spain" - it jsut feals like something that has been put in just to be put in. While the others are a definative first since one particular year, this lists an arbitrary number of teams with no inbdication as to what the maximum number of teams in the list can be.

You may as well throw in Netherlands and France and point out this is the first final with ''any'' participant besides those six since 1966. Conversely, you could take Argentina out and point out that all but two previous finals, 1930 and 1978, have involved one of the other three. I have a hard time getting an intuitive sense of how remarkable the four-team version really is with 18 previous finals, but if various media organizations are pointing it out as a "first" I'd err on the side of leaving it in. -- Regards, [[User:PhilipR|PhilipR]] ([[User talk:PhilipR|talk]]) 07:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I have an issue with the way one statement in the section about the final is sourced: "The match was affected by a large number of fouls, particularly from the Netherlands." This is based on one source, and it is totally unclear what the basis for the journalist's claim is. I propose replacing it with this link: [http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/statistics/matches/round=249721/match=300061509/index.html]. These are FIFA's match statistics, which show that the Netherlands committed 28 fouls, against 19 for Spain. That is much better proof of the assertion than the Sky News article.

'''Vladivostok''' ({{audio-ru|Владивосто́к|ru-Vladivostok.ogg}}) is [[Russia]]'s largest port [[types of inhabited localities in Russia|city]] on the [[Pacific Ocean]] and the administrative center of [[Primorsky Krai]]. It is situated at the head of the [[Zolotoy Rog|Golden Horn Bay]], not far from Russia's border with [[People's Republic of China|China]] and [[North Korea]]. It is the home port of the [[Pacific Ocean Fleet (Russia)|Russian Pacific Fleet]].

==Names==
The name Vladivostok (Владивосток) loosely translates from Russian as "possess the East", a name similar to Vladikavkaz which means "possess the Kavkaz". In [[mainland China]] ([[People's Republic of China|PRC]]), it is known under the transliteration ''Fúlādíwòsītuōkè'' (符拉迪沃斯托克) even though its traditional Chinese name Hǎishēnwǎi (海參崴), meaning "[[Holothuroidea|sea cucumber]] cliffs", is still sometimes used in mainland China <ref>Example at [http://ru.china-embassy.org/chn/xwdt/t185339.htm 中国驻符拉迪沃斯托克领事办公室正式开馆] {{zh icon}}</ref> and [[Taiwan]] as well.<ref>[http://terms.nict.gov.tw/search1.php?s=Vladivostok&type=&s_type=0&Submit2=%ACd%A1%40%A1%40%B8%DF National Institute for Compilation and Translation Academic Noun Search] {{zh icon}}</ref> The Japanese name of the city is ''Urajiosutoku'' (ウラジオストク; a rough transliteration of the Russian originally written in [[Kanji]] as 浦塩斯徳 and often shortened to ''Urajio''; ウラジオ; 浦塩). In [[Korean language|Korean]], the name is transliterated as ''Beulladiboseutokeu'' (블라디보스토크) in [[South Korea]], ''Ullajibosŭttokhŭ'' (울라지보스또크) in [[North Korea]], and ''Beullajiboseu-ttokeu'' (블라지보스또크) by [[Koreans in China]].

==History==
{{Main|History of Vladivostok}}

The territory on which modern Vladivostok is located had been part of many nations, such as [[Balhae]], [[Jin Dynasty (1115–1234)|Jurchen]], the [[Mongol Empire]], and [[China]], before Russia acquired the entire Maritime Province and the island of Sakhalin by the [[Treaty of Aigun]] (1858). China, which had just lost the Opium War with Britain, was unable to act to maintain the region. The Pacific coast near Vladivostok was settled mainly by the [[Chinese people|Chinese]], [[Jurchens|Jurchen]], [[Manchus|Manchu]] and [[Koreans|Korean]] during Imperial Chinese Qing dynasty period. A French whaler visiting the [[Zolotoy Rog]] in 1852 discovered Chinese or Manchu village fishermen on the shore of the bay.

The naval outpost was founded in 1859 by Count [[Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky]], who named it after the model of [[Vladikavkaz]], a Russian fortress in the [[Caucasus]]. An elaborate system of fortifications was erected between the 1870s and 1890s. A telegraph line from Vladivostok to [[Shanghai]] and [[Nagasaki, Nagasaki|Nagasaki]] was opened in 1871, the year when a commercial port was relocated to this town from [[Nikolayevsk-on-Amur]]. Town status was granted on April 22, 1880. The municipal coat of arms, representing the [[Siberian tiger]], was adopted in March 1883.

The city's economy was given a boost in 1903, with the completion of the [[Trans-Siberian Railway]] which connected Vladivostok to [[Moscow]] and Europe. The first [[high school]] was opened in 1899. In the wake of the [[Bolshevik Revolution]], Vladivostok was of great military importance for the [[Far Eastern Republic]], the [[Provisional Priamurye Government]], and the [[Siberian Intervention|Allied intervention]], consisting of foreign troops from Japan, the [[American Expeditionary Force Siberia|United States]], [[Canadian Siberian Expeditionary Force|Canada]], [[Czechoslovakia]], and other lands.<ref>[http://isitt.wordpress.com/journal-articles/mutiny-from-victoria-to-vladivostok-december-1918-chr-article/ Benjamin Isitt, "Mutiny from Victoria to Vladivostok, December 1918," ''Canadian Historical Review'', 87:2 (June 2006)]</ref> The taking of the city by [[Ieronim Uborevich]]'s [[Red Army]] on 25 October 1922 marked the end of the [[Russian Civil War]].

As the main naval base of the [[Soviet Pacific Fleet]], the city was closed to foreigners during the Soviet years. Nevertheless, it was at Vladivostok that [[Leonid Brezhnev]] and [[Gerald Ford]] conducted the [[Strategic Arms Limitation Talks]] in 1974. At the time, the two countries decided quantitative limits on various [[nuclear weapons]] systems and banned the construction of new land-based [[ICBM]] launchers.

In December 2008 there were protests in Vladivostok against higher import duties on used cars with main slogan "Putin, resign!" This may be the first visible public anger at one of the government's responses to the global financial crisis.
Police clad in riot gear detained some protesters as other demonstrators blocked roads, lit flares and bonfires in Sunday protests that blocked traffic in the city centre. A separate protest later blockaded the city's airport for a short period.

In June 2010, a [[Stalin]]-era [[mass grave]] was discovered by road workers which contains some 3.5 tonnes of bones. Nearly all of the skulls have bullet wounds.<ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6584HJ20100609 Stalin-era mass grave yields tons of bones] ''[[Reuters]]''. [[June 9]], [[2010]]</ref>

The city's population was 594,701 as of the [[Russian Census (2002)|2002 Census]]; down from 633,838 recorded in the [[Soviet Census (1989)|1989 Census]]. Ethnic [[Russians]] and [[Ukrainians]] make up the majority of the population.

From 1958 to 1991, only Soviet citizens were allowed to live in Vladivostok or visit it (and even then had to obtain an official permission). Before this [[closed city|closure]], the city had large [[Koryo-saram|Korean]]<ref>[http://www.vladmission.org/russianparishes/Vladivostok/vladivostok.htm Most Holy Mother of God, Vladivostok]</ref> and Chinese populations.<ref>[http://www.f8.com/FP/Russia/Avlad.html Vladivostok]</ref> Some [[Korea]]ns who were deported during [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin's]] rule from the Russian Far East have since returned, particularly to Vladivostok.<ref>[http://vlad.tribnet.com/1997/iss149/focus.htm Coming home]</ref>

Vladivostok has one of the largest [[Armenians|Armenian]] communities in eastern Russia. There are a number of Armenian [[bakeries]] and [[restaurants]] in the city. There are also sizable communities of [[Chechens]], [[Azeris]] and [[Tājik people|Tajiks]] in the city.<ref>[http://www.asiapacificms.com/articles/vladivostok_terror/ Russian Far East: Crime Central]</ref> According to the latest statistics, there are currently about 100,000 [[Islam in Russia|Muslims]] living in the [[Russian Far East]].<ref>[http://vn.vladnews.ru/issue546/Social_life/Mosque_and_chapel_to_preach_tolerance Mosque and chapel to preach tolerance – Vladivostok News]</ref>

 

==Economy==
The city's main industries are [[shipping]], commercial [[fishing]], and the [[naval base]]. Fishing accounts for almost four-fifths of Vladivostok's commercial production. Other food production totals 11%.

The main export items were [[fish]], [[timber]] products, [[ferrous metal|ferrous]] and [[non-ferrous metal]]s, and [[ship]]s. The main import items were food products, [[medicine]], [[clothing]], [[footwear]], [[automobile]]s, household technical items, and ships.

==Transportation==
Vladivostok is the starting point of [[M60 highway (Russia)|Ussuri Highway]] (M80) to [[Khabarovsk]], the eastern most part of [[Trans-Siberian Highway]] that goes all the way to [[Moscow]] and [[Saint Petersburg]] via [[Novosibirsk]]. The other main highways go east to [[Nakhodka]] and south to [[Khasan]].

The [[Trans-Siberian Railway]] was built to connect [[European Russia]] with Vladivostok, Russia's most important [[Pacific Ocean]] port. Finished in 1905, the rail line ran from Moscow to Vladivostok via several of Russia's main cities. Part of the railroad, known as the [[Chinese Eastern Line]], crossed over into [[Manchuria]], [[China]], passing through [[Harbin]], a major city in Manchuria. During the Soviet era, Vladivostok's status as a closed city meant that ferry-passenger tourists arriving from [[Japan]] to travel the Trans-Siberian railway westbound had to embark in [[Nakhodka]]. Today, Vladivostok serves as the main starting point for the Trans-Siberian portion of the [[Eurasian Land Bridge]].

Air routes connect [[Vladivostok International Airport]] with
[[Japan]], [[People's Republic of China]], [[North Korea]], [[South Korea]] and [[Vietnam]].
It is possible to get to Vladivostok from several of the larger cities in Russia. Regular flights to [[Seattle, Washington]] were available in the 1990s but have been canceled since. [[Vladivostok Air]] resumed flying to [[Anchorage, Alaska]] in July 2008.

===Urban transportation===
[[File:Vladivostok tram.JPG|right|thumb|Vladivostok tram]]
On 28 June 1908, Vladivostok's first tram line was started along [[Svetlanskaya Street]] from the railway station in Lugovaya Street. On 9 October 1912, the first wooden cars manufactured in Belgium entered service. Today, Vladivostok's means of public transportation include trolleybus, bus, tram, train, funicular, ferryboat and cutter. The main urban traffic lines are City Center—Vtoraya Rechka, City Center—Balyayeva, and City Center—Lugovaya Street.

==Education==
Vladivostok is home to numerous educational institutions, including seven [[university|universities]]:
*[[Far Eastern National University]] (Дальневосточный государственный университет, or ДВГУ),
*[[Far Eastern State Technical University]] (Дальневосточный государственный технический университет имени Куйбышева or ДВГТУ),
*[[Marine State University]] (Морской государственный университет имени адмирала Г.И. Невельского),
*[[Far Eastern State Technical Fisheries University]] (Дальневосточный государственный технический рыбохозяйственный университет or Дальрыбвтуз),
*[[Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service]] (Владивостокский государственный университет экономики и сервиса or ВГУЭС),
*[[Vladivostok State Medical University]] (Владивостокский государственный медицинский университет), and
*[[Pacific State University of Economics]] (Тихоокеанский государственный экономический университет).

The Presidium of the Far Eastern Division of the [[Russian Academy of Sciences]] (ДВО РАН) as well as ten of its research institutes are also located in Vladivostok, as is the [[Pacific Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography]] (Тихоокеанский научно-исследовательский рыбохозяйственный центр or ТИНРО).

==Media==
Over fifty [[newspaper]]s and regional editions to Moscow publications are issued in Vladivostok. The largest newspaper of the [[Primorsky Krai]] and the whole [[Russian Far East]] is ''Vladivostok'' with a circulation of 124,000 copies at the beginning of 1996. Its founder, joint-stock company Vladivostok-News, also issues a weekly English-language newspaper ''[http://vn.vladnews.ru/ Vladivostok News]''. Another source of information on the city is the online daily [[Vladivostok Times]]. The subjects of the publications issued in these newspapers vary from information around Vladivostok and Primorye to major international events. Newspaper ''Zolotoy Rog'' (''Golden Horn'') gives every detail of economic news. Entertainment materials and cultural news constitute a larger part of Novosti (News) newspaper which is the most popular among Primorye's young people. Also, new online mass media about Russian Far East for foreigners [http://www.fareasttimes.com/ Far East Times]. This source invites everyone to take part in informational support of RFE for visitors, travellers and businessmen.

As of 2006, there are fourteen channels broadcasting. They are [[Channel One (Russia)|Channel One]], [[RTR]], [[OTV-Prim]], [[Rambler (TV)|Rambler]], [[STS (Russian television network)|STS]], [[Turner Network Television|TNT]], [[MTV Russia]], [[Muz-TV]], [[Kultura (TV)|Kultura]], [[Ren-TV]], [[NTV Russia|NTV]], [[DTV Viasat]].

As of 1999, there are also seven radio stations, the most popular being 24-hour VBC (612 kHz, 101.7 MHz) and Europa+ (738 kHz, 104.2 MHz). Europa+ normally broadcasts popular modern British-American music, while the ratio of Russian and foreign songs over VBC is fifty-fifty. Every hour one can hear local news over these radio stations. Radio Vladivostok (1098 kHz) operates from 06:00 till 01:00. It broadcasts several special programs which are devoted to the music of the 1950s-1980s as well as [[New Age music|New Age]].

The Russian rock band, [[Mumiy Troll]] (Мумий Тролль), hails from Vladivostok and frequently puts on shows there. In addition, the city played host to the now-legendary "[[VladiROCKstok]]" International Music Festival in September 1996. Hosted by the Mayor and Governor, and organized by two young American expatriates, the festival drew nearly 10,000 people and top-tier musical acts from St. Petersburg ([[Akvarium]] and [[DDT (band)]]) and Seattle ([[Supersuckers]], [[Goodness (band)]]), as well as several leading local bands. {{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}

It is the nearest city to the massive [[Sikhote-Alin Meteorite]], which fell on February 12, 1947, in the Sikhote-Alin Mountains, approximately 440 km northeast of Vladivostok.

==Pollution==

Two thirds of Vladivostok's suburbs are so [[pollution|polluted]] that living in them is classified as a health hazard, according to the local ecological specialists, ''Ecocenter''. Some areas, such as those near the printing works in Pokrovsky Park and the [[Far Eastern National University]] campus, are so polluted that they are defined as ecological disaster zones. Only a few areas have permissible levels of contamination. Professor Boris Preobrazhensky, a eco-scientists at the Pacific Institute of Geography said that there was nowhere in the area that was really healthy to live in.

The ''Ecocenter'' report has taken ten years to compile and is believed to be the most comprehensive of its kind. It was based on analysis of over 30,000 samples of water, snow, soil, air and human tissues taken between 1985 and 1993. Samples showed significant rises over that period in the levels of heavy metals, such as [[cadmium]], [[zirconium]], [[cobalt]], [[arsenic]], and [[mercury (element)|mercury]], which severely affect the respiratory and nervous systems.

The pollution has a number of causes, according to ''Ecocenter'' geo-chemical expert Sergey Shlykov. Vladivostok has about 80 industrial sites, which may not be many compared to Russia's most industrialized areas, but those around the city are particularly environmentally unfriendly, such as shipbuilding and repairing, power stations, printing, fur farming and mining. In addition, Vladivostok has a particularly vulnerable geography which compounds the effect of the pollution. Winds cannot clear pollution from some of the most densely populated areas around the Pervaya and Vtoraya Rechka as they sit in basins which the winds blow over. In addition, there is little snow in winter and no leaves or grass to catch the dust to make it settle down.<ref name="Ecocenter">B. V. Preobrazhensky, A. I. Burago, S. A. Shlykov. Primorye Ecology. Ecological Situation. [http://www.fegi.ru/ecology/e_sit/index.htm Contamination of Sea and Water]</ref>

==Sports==
Vladivostok is home to the football club [[FC Luch-Energiya Vladivostok]], who play in the [[Russian First Division]], and basketball club [[Spartak Primorje]], who play in the [[Russian Basketball Super League]].

The [[FIFA World Cup]] is an international [[association football]] competition established in 1930. It is contested by the [[List of men's national association football teams|men's national teams]] of the members of [[FIFA|Fédération Internationale de Football Association]] (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The tournament has taken place every four years, except in 1942 and 1946, when the competition was cancelled due to [[World War II]]. The [[2006 FIFA World Cup|most recent World Cup]], hosted by Germany in 2006, was won by [[Italy national football team|Italy]], who beat [[France national football team|France]] 5–3 in a penalty shootout. The [[2010 FIFA World Cup|next World Cup]] will be held in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/preliminarydraw/64/42/24/2010fwc_matchschedule_1103.pdf |title=Match Schedule 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa |format=PDF |accessdate=29 January 2009 |publisher=[[FIFA|Fédération Internationale de Football Association]] }}</ref>

The World Cup final matches are the last of the competition, and the results determine which country's team is declared world champions. If after 90 minutes of regular play the score is a [[Tie (draw)|draw]], an additional 30-minute period of play, called [[extra time]], is added. If such a game is still tied after extra time it is decided by kicks from the penalty mark, commonly called a [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootout]]. The winning penalty shoot-out team are then declared champions.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/81/42/36/lotg_en.pdf |title=Laws of the Game |format=PDF |accessdate=9 February 2009 |publisher=[[FIFA|Fédération Internationale de Football Association]] }}</ref> The tournament has been decided by a one-off match on every occasion except 1950, when the tournament winner was decided by a final round-robin group contested by four teams (Uruguay, Brazil, Sweden, and Spain). Uruguay's 2–1 victory over Brazil was the decisive match (and one of the last two matches of the tournament) which put them ahead on points and ensured that they finished top of the group as world champions. Therefore, this match is regarded by FIFA as the final of the 1950 World Cup.<ref name="All results"/>

In the eighteen tournaments held, seventy-five nations have [[National team appearances in the FIFA World Cup|appeared at least once]]. Of these, twelve have made it to the final match, and seven have won.{{#tag:ref|This follows FIFA's consideration that the national teams of Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic, Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro/Serbia, and USSR/Russia are combined respectively for record-keeping.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/fifafacts/mcwc/ip-301_01a_fwc-stats_new_2464.pdf |title=FIFA World Cup – Statistical Overview |publisher=[[FIFA|Fédération Internationale de Football Association]] |format=PDF |accessdate=29 January 2009 }}</ref>|group="n"}} With five titles, [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] is the most successful World Cup team and also the only nation to have [[National team appearances in the FIFA World Cup#Ranking of teams by number of appearances|participated in every World Cup finals tournament]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/world/2002/world_cup/teams/brazil/ |title=World Cup Spotlight on Brazil |publisher=[[CNN]] |accessdate=29 January 2007 }}</ref> The current world champions, Italy, have four titles and Germany have three. The other former champions are [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]], who won the inaugural tournament, and [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]], with two titles each, and [[England national football team|England]] and France, who have each won one.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/index.html |title=Previous FIFA World Cups |accessdate=29 January 2009 |publisher=[[FIFA|Fédération Internationale de Football Association]] }}</ref>

The '''Spanish national football team''' represents [[Spain]] in [[FIFA|international]] [[football (soccer)|football]] and is controlled by the [[Royal Spanish Football Federation]]. The Spanish side is commonly referred to as '''La Roja''' (The Red One).<ref name="roja2" /><ref name="roja" />

Spain are the reigning European champions, having won the [[Euro 2008|UEFA European Championship]] in 2008. Spain also won the [[1964 European Nations' Cup|European Nations' Cup]] in 1964 and reached the [[UEFA Euro 1984 Final]]. Spain has qualified for the [[FIFA World Cup]] thirteen times, reaching fourth place in the [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950 tournament]]. In July 2008 Spain rose to the top of the [[FIFA World Ranking]] for the first time in its history, becoming the sixth nation to top this ranking, and the first who has never won the [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]]. Between November 2006 and June 2009 Spain went undefeated for a record tying 35 consecutive matches before their loss to the [[United States national football team|United States]], a record shared with [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], including a record 15-game winning streak.

==History==
===Early years===
===1950 World Cup===
Founded in 1913, the [[Spanish Civil War]] and [[World War II]] prevented Spain from playing any competitive match from the [[1934 FIFA World Cup|1934 World Cup]] to the [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950 World Cup]]. There they topped their group against [[England national football team|England]], [[Chile national football team|Chile]] and the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]] to progress to the final round.

At this time, the winner of the World Cup was decided not by a single championship match, but via a group format involving the four teams who had won their respective groups in the previous stage. The four teams in the final group were [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]], [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], [[Sweden national football team|Sweden]] and Spain. Spain failed to record a win (W0 D1 L2) and finished in fourth place. Until 2010, this fourth place finish had been the furthest that Spain has reached in the World Cup. Spain's leading scorer during the 1950 World Cup was striker [[Estanislao Basora]], who ended the tournament with five goals.

Under French-Argentine coach [[Helenio Herrera]] and Italian assistant coach Daniel Newlan, Spain came out of dormancy to qualify for the first [[1960 European Nations' Cup|European Championship]] in 1960. Spain beat [[Poland national football team|Poland]] 7–2 on aggregate to progress to the quarterfinals. However, Spain forfeited its quarterfinal tie with the [[Soviet Union]] because of political circumstances between Spain's dictator [[Francisco Franco|Franco]] and the Soviets.

The Spaniards, led by [[Alfredo Di Stéfano]], qualified for the [[1962 World Cup]].

===José Villalonga era and the 1964 European champions===
In 1962, [[José Villalonga Llorente|José Villalonga]] was appointed coach of Spain. Under Villalonga, Spain qualified for the [[1962 FIFA World Cup|1962 World Cup]] but was eliminated in the first round group against Brazil, [[Czechoslovakia national football team|Czechoslovakia]], and [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]]. Two years later Spain hosted the [[1964 European Nations' Cup|European Championship]], in which the team beat [[Romania national football team|Romania]], [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]] and the [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Republic of Ireland]] to move on to the semifinals. There they beat highly-favoured [[Hungary national football team|Hungary]] 2–1 after extra time. Spain went on to face the [[Soviet Union national football team|USSR]] 2–1 before a crowd of more than 79,000 at [[Santiago Bernabéu Stadium|the Bernabéu]] in [[Madrid]]. [[Jesús María Pereda]] put Spain ahead after just six minutes, but [[Galimzian Khusainov]] equalised a few minutes later with a free kick. [[Marcelino Martínez]] put in a late header to win Spain's first major international title.

As European champions, Spain automatically qualified for the [[1966 FIFA World Cup|1966 World Cup]], retaining much of the same squad from 1964 and keeping José Villalonga at the helm. However, they failed to progress beyond the first round, defeating only [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]] and losing to [[West Germany national football team|West Germany]] and [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]].

The departure of Villalonga put Spain into another period of mixed results. After winning its group in the qualifying rounds of the [[UEFA Euro 1968|Euro 68]], the team was knocked out by [[England national football team|England]] in the quarterfinals and did not make it to the final tournament held in Italy. Spain did not qualify for another tournament until [[UEFA Euro 1976|Euro 76]].

===1982 World Cup in Spain===
In 1976, Spain was selected as host of the [[1982 FIFA World Cup]]. This edition of the World Cup featured 24 teams for the first time. Expectations were high for Spain as the host nation under coach [[José Santamaría]]. In the group stages, Spain was drawn into Group 5, in which they could only manage a 1–1 draw with [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]] in the finals' opening match, after which they had a 2–1 victory over [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]], but were defeated 1–0 by [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]]. These results were enough to secure progress to the second round where they were drawn into Group B, but defeat to [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] and a goalless draw with [[England national football team|England]] meant that Spain were knocked out, and Santamaría was sacked.

===1984 to 1988===
Former Real Madrid coach [[Miguel Muñoz]], who had temporarily coached Spain in 1969, replaced by Daniel Newlan, returned to coach the national side. Spain was in [[UEFA Euro 1984|Euro 84]] qualifying Group 7, against [[Netherlands national football team|The Netherlands]], [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Republic of Ireland]], [[Iceland national football team|Iceland]], and [[Malta national football team|Malta]]. Entering the last match, Spain needed to defeat Malta by at least 11 goals to surpass the Netherlands for the top spot in the group, and after leading 3–1 at half time, Spain scored nine goals in the second half to win by [[Spain vs Malta 1984 UEFA European Football Championship qualifying match|12–1]] and win the group. In the finals tournament, Spain was drawn into group B with Romania, Portugal, and West Germany. After 1–1 draws against their first two opponents, Spain topped the group by virtue of a 1–0 victory against West Germany. The semifinals saw Spain and Denmark drawn at 1–1 after extra time, before Spain proceeded by virtue of winning the [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootout]] 5–4 on penalties. Hosts and tournament favourites [[France national football team|France]] defeated Spain 2–0 in the final after a goalless first half.

Spain qualified for the [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986 World Cup]] in [[Mexico]] having topped Group 7 with [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]], [[Wales national football team|Wales]], and [[Iceland national football team|Iceland]]. Spain began the group stage by losing to [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] 1–0, but progressed after beating [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]] by 2–1 and [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]] by 3–0. Round 2 paired Spain with [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]], who they overcame 5–1 with [[Emilio Butragueño]] scoring four goals, but in the quarterfinals a 1–1 draw with [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] ended with Belgium winning 5–4 on penalties.

Muñoz was retained as coach for [[UEFA Euro 1988|Euro 88]]. As in the several previous tournaments Spain qualified impressively in a group with [[Austria national football team|Austria]], [[Romania national football team|Romania]], and [[Albania national football team|Albania]]. Spain were drawn into group A and began their tournament with a 3–2 victory over [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]], but were nevertheless knocked out in the group stage after losing 1–0 and 2–0 to [[Italy national football team|Italy]] and [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] respectively.

===1990 to 1992===
For the [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990 World Cup]] in Italy, Spain had a new coach, [[Luis Suárez Miramontes|Luis Suárez]]. Having qualified from a group consisting of Republic of Ireland, Hungary, Northern Ireland, and Malta, Spain entered the competition on a good run of form, and after reaching the knock out stages through a 0–0 draw with Uruguay and wins over South Korea (3–1) and Belgium (2–1), fell to a 2–1 defeat to Yugoslavia in the second round.

Newly appointed coach [[Vicente Miera]] failed to gain qualification for Spain for [[UEFA Euro 1992|Euro 92]], after finishing third in a group behind France and Czechoslovakia. Vicente Miera did however lead Spain to the gold medal at the [[Football at the 1992 Summer Olympics|1992 Olympics]]<ref name="Olympics 1992-">Since 1992, squads for [[Football at the Summer Olympics]] have been restricted to three players over the age of 23. The achievements of such teams are not usually included in the statistics of the international team.</ref> in [[Barcelona]].

===Clemente's reign, 1992–98===
[[File:Javier Clemente 2.jpg||thumb|right|300px|[[Javier Clemente]] and the Spain team in a training session.]]
Javier Clemente was appointed as Spain's coach in 1992, and the qualification for the [[1994 World Cup]] was achieved with eight wins and one loss in twelve matches. In the final tournament Spain were in Group C in which they drew with Korea Republic 2–2 and 1–1 with Germany, before qualifying for the second round with a 3–1 victory over Bolivia. Spain continued through the second round with a 3–0 victory over Switzerland, but their tournament ended with a 2–1 defeat to Italy in the quarter-finals.

Spain qualified for [[Euro 96]] from a group consisting of Denmark, Belgium, Cyprus, Republic of Macedonia, and Armenia. In the final tournament Spain faced group matches against Bulgaria, France and Romania. With 1–1 draws against the first two opponents, and a 2–1 win over Romania, Spain confirmed their place in the quarter-finals, with a match with hosts England, which finished goalless and Spain eventually fell 4–2 in the shootout.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.thefa.com/euro2004/History/Postings/2003/01/36689.htm |title = TheFA.com – 1996 European Championship |accessdate = 2008-06-30}}</ref>

In [[1998 FIFA World Cup|his second World Cup]] as Spain's coach, Clemente led his team undefeated through their qualifying group in which Yugoslavia and Czech Republic were the other contenders. Spain qualified with fourteen other European sides in the first ever thirty-two team World Cup, but were eliminated in the first round with four points after losing to Nigeria, drawing with Paraguay, and winning just one game, against Bulgaria.

===Euro 2000 and World Cup 2002===
After a 3–2 opening defeat to Cyprus in [[Euro 2000]] qualifying, Clemente was fired and [[José Antonio Camacho]] was appointed as coach. Spain won the rest of their games to qualify for the final tournament, where they were drawn into Group C. A 1–0 defeat to [[Norway national football team|Norway]] was followed by victories over [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]] (2–1) and Yugoslavia (4–3), with Spain thus setting up a quarterfinal against 1998 World Cup champions, [[France national football team|France]], which was won 2–1 by France.

The qualifying tournament for the [[2002 World Cup]] went as expected for Spain as Spain topped a group consisting of [[Austria national football team|Austria]], [[Israel national football team|Israel]], [[Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team|Bosnia and Herzegovina]], and [[Liechtenstein national football team|Liechtenstein]]. In the finals tournament Spain won its three matches in group B, against [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]], [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]] (both by 3–1), and [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] (3–2). Spain beat [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Republic of Ireland]] on penalties in the second round, and faced co-hosts [[Korea Republic national football team|Korea Republic]] in the quarterfinals. Spain twice thought they had scored, but the efforts were disallowed, though video replays showed that both goals were valid and Korea was successful in the penalty shootout after a 0–0 draw.

===Euro 2004===
At [[2004 UEFA European Football Championship|Euro 2004]] in Portugal, Spain was drawn into group A with hosts [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]], [[Russia national football team|Russia]] and [[Greece national football team|Greece]], behind whom they had finished second in qualifying. Spain defeated Russia 1–0 and drew 1–1 with Greece, but failed to get the draw they needed against Portugal to proceed to the knock out stages. [[Iñaki Sáez]] was sacked weeks later and replaced by [[Luis Aragonés]].

===Luis Aragonés era, 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008===
[[File:España Suecia inicio.jpg||thumb|right|200px|[[UEFA Euro 2008]] pre-match ceremonies involving [[Sweden national football team|Sweden]] and Spain.]]
Spain qualified for the [[2006 World Cup]] only after a play-off against Slovakia, as they had finished behind Serbia and Montenegro in Group 7, which also included Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Lithuania, and San Marino. In Group H of the German hosted finals, Spain won all their matches,and beating Ukraine 4–0, Tunisia 3–1 and [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] 1–0. However Spain fell 3–1 in the second round to [[France national football team|France]], with only the consolation of a share, with Brazil, of the 2006 FIFA Fair Play Award.

Spain qualified for [[UEFA Euro 2008|Euro 2008]] at the top of [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group F|Qualifying Group F]] with 28 points out of a possible 36, and were [[UEFA Euro 2008 seeding|seeded]] 12th for the finals. They won all their games in [[UEFA Euro 2008 Group D|Group D]]: 4–1 against Russia, and 2–1 against both Sweden and defending champions Greece.

[[File:Spain Euro 08 celebration 3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Spanish players celebrating their victory in Madrid.]]
Reigning World Cup holders [[Italy national football team|Italy]] were the opponents in the [[Euro 2008#Quarter-finals|quarter final match]], and held Spain to a finished 0–0 draw resulting in a penalty shoot-out which Spain won 4–2. Spain met Russia again in the semi-final, again beating them, this time by 3-0.<ref>[http://euro2008.worldcupblog.org/euro-2008-game-previews/euro-2008-final-preview-germany-vs-spain.htmlEuro 2008 Final Preview: Germany vs Spain]</ref>

In the [[UEFA Euro 2008 Final|final]], played in [[Vienna]]'s [[Ernst-Happel-Stadion]], Spain defeated [[Germany national football team|Germany]] 1–0, with a goal scored by [[Fernando Torres]] in the 33rd minute.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/euro_2008/7363545.stm|title=Germany 0–1 Spain|date=2008-06-29|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=2009-08-20 | location=London}}</ref> This was Spain's first major title since the 1964 European Championship. Spain were the top scoring team, with 12 goals, and [[David Villa]] finished as the top scorer with four goals; Xavi was awarded the player of the tournament, and nine Spanish players were picked for the [[UEFA Euro 2008]] Team of the Tournament.<ref>Spanish players named in the ''team of the tournament'' were: goalkeeper and captain [[Iker Casillas]], defenders [[Carles Puyol]], [[Carlos Marchena]], midfielders [[Xavi]], [[Cesc Fàbregas]], [[Andrés Iniesta]], [[Marcos Senna]] and strikers [[David Villa]] and [[Fernando Torres]].</ref>

Shortly after the tournament, Spain reached the top of the [[FIFA World Rankings]] for the first time, the first team that never needed to win a World Cup to achieve this.

===Confederations Cup debut and 2010 World Cup qualification===
[[Luis Aragonés]] left the manager's role after the Euro 2008 success, and was replaced by [[Vicente del Bosque]].<ref>[http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12024_3823638,00.html Spain appoint Del Bosque]</ref>

2008 saw [[David Villa]] score 12 goals in 15 games, breaking the Spanish record of 10 goals in one year held by [[Raúl González|Raúl]] since 1999.<ref>[http://www.marca.com/edicion/marca/futbol/seleccion/es/desarrollo/1185746.html Villa, mejor goleador de la selección en un año natural {{sp icon}}]</ref> On 11 February 2009, David Villa broke another Spanish record as his 36th-minute goal saw him become the first Spanish player to score in six consecutive games.<ref>[http://www.goal.com/en/news/468/internationals/2009/02/12/1105433/spain-hotshot-david-villa-delighted-with-goal-against-england Spain Hotshot David Villa Delighted With Goal Against England]</ref>

Spain began its [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification]] campaign with six successive wins, and went into the [[2009 FIFA Confederations Cup]] as one of the favourites. By the start of the tournament, Del Bosque's had ten consecutive wins, making him the first international manager to do so from his debut, breaking [[Joao Saldanha]]'s record, held since 1969, of nine consecutive wins with [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]].

Spain won all three of its matches at the group stage, the 5–0 win over [[New Zealand]] including a [[Fernando Torres]] [[hat-trick]] that is the earliest and fastest hat-trick in the tournament's history. With further wins over [[Iraq national football team|Iraq]] (1–0) and {{nft|South Africa}} (2–0) they earned not only qualification for the semifinals, but also obtained the world record for 15 consecutive wins and tied the record of 35 consecutive unbeaten games (with {{nft|Brazil}}).

On 24 June 2009, Spain's undefeated record ended when the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]] beat Spain 2–0 in the [[2009 FIFA Confederations Cup]] semi-finals which sent Spain to the third place match. This was Spain's first defeat since 2006. Spain defeated hosts {{nft|South Africa}} 3–2 after [[extra time]] in the 3rd-place playoff.<ref>[http://goal.com/en/news/1863/world-cup-2010confederations-cup/2009/06/28/1351793/spain-finish-third-in-confederations-cup-after-thrilling Spain Finish Third In Confederations Cup After Thrilling Finale Against South Africa]</ref>

The 2010 World Cup draw, which took place on 4 December 2009, placed Spain in [[2010 FIFA World Cup Group H|Group H]]. Spain lost its first group stage match against Switzerland, 0–1. In their second match they defeated Honduras by 2 goals from [[David Villa]]. Their next match against Chile on 25 June was won 2–1. They advanced to the knockout stage to defeat Portugal 1–0, reaching the Quarter Finals, in which they defeated Paraguay 1-0, scoring off of a goal by David Villa who put the ball in the back of the net after Pedro struck the ball off the post, reaching the Semi-Finals for the first time since 1950. They then advanced to the [[2010 FIFA World Cup Final|Finals]] for the first time ever by defeating [[Germany national football team|Germany]] 1-0 via a headed goal from [[Carles Puyol]].

==Uniform kit==
Spain's traditional kit is a red jersey with yellow trim accompanied by dark blue shorts and socks while their traditional away kit is a full white kit with red and yellow trim. The colour of the socks changed throughout the 1980s from black to the same colour as the blue short. Spain's kits have been made by manufacturers including Adidas (from 1982 until 1984), [[Le Coq Sportif]] (from 1984 until 1992) and again Adidas (since 1992).

Their current home kit designed by [[Adidas]], is a lighter red than usual along with light blue shorts and red socks, similar to the older 2006 kit.<ref>[http://www.adidas.com/campaigns/football/content/products-detail.aspx?article=P47902&collection=federation#grid Royal Spanish Football Federation Home Jersey]</ref> A third kit is sometimes used and is usually blue with red and yellow trim (used currently as change kit). Rather than displaying the logo of the Spanish football federation, Spain's jersey traditionally features the [[Coat of arms of Spain]] over the left breast.

===2007–2009 undefeated run===
Spain went undefeated for a world record<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/sports/soccer/2009-06-21-13828578_x.htm Spain dazzles to equal Brazil's unbeaten run]</ref> 35 matches in a row, after a 1–0 loss to [[Romanian national football team|Romania]] in a [[friendly match]] on November 15, 2006. The record is also held by [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] (not counting defeats after a penalty shoot-out). Spain won 32 out of the 35 matches, while the other three ended in draws (one of which was against [[Italy national football team|Italy]], a match which Spain ended up winning on penalties). The Spanish side scored 73 goals while conceding only 11, and never allowed more than one goal per match except against [[Greece national football team|Greece]], a friendly match on August 22, 2007 which ended 3–2.

Spain also held the world record for consecutive wins, at 15, following their draw against [[Italy national football team|Italy]] during the quarter finals in [[UEFA Euro 2008]]. This winning streak, together with the undefeated run, was ended by the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]] on June 24, 2009, in a 2–0 defeat in the semifinal stage of the [[2009 Confederations Cup]].

* I've moved it to [[2010 Northumbria Police manhunt]], because no way is the shootings the notable part of this ongoing incident - an article about 1 dead, 2 injured, immediate capture, would most definitely fail NOT#NEWS, and also, as above, while the hunt is happening in the Northumbria Police area, this incident covers a much greater area than the county of Northumberland, and it only entered the county of Northumberland days later, having begun all the way down in Birtley, which is nowhere near Northumberland, not even if you are using the traditional county boundary of the Tyne. And Newcastle has not been part of modern day Northumberland for donkeys years either. It's also probably arguable that 2010 is not needed, although as with just Northumberland shootings it is probably just about warranted. [[User:MickMacNee|MickMacNee]] ([[User talk:MickMacNee|talk]]) 18:57, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:*Sorry but how on earth are the shootings not notable? There is a manhunt ''because'' of the shootings, and a manhunt could be for any number of reasons, so this title is hardly descriptive. It is also recentism, as it focuses on the particular issue at the present time. The BBC are currently calling it "Tyneside Shootings". it would also be a good idea if you discussed these sort of things first, otherwise the page gets moved all over the place in accordance with individual preferences, especially considering there is already a discussion about the correct title. [[User:Quantpole|Quantpole]] ([[User talk:Quantpole|talk]]) 19:21, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
::*I think it would be worth moving it back to the previous title for now, and adjusting the article accordingly. I tend to agree that the shootings are the thing that sparked the manhunt, and in time it will probably be the shootings rather than the manhunt that is remembered. Certainly if the suspect is captured and put on trial or whatever. If the BBC continue to call it Tyneside shootings then that could be a more appropriate title. I'm not from the area, but I think Northumbria is referring to the police force rather than the county. [[User:TheRetroGuy|TheRetroGuy]] ([[User talk:TheRetroGuy|talk]]) 19:27, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to revert this change in one hour unless there's a consensus not to do so - we've no way of knowing if the 'manhunt' is going to be the most notable aspect of this event and the shootings of 3 and death of one should not be so easily diminished as to make the manhunt, the central thesis. --[[User:Joopercoopers|Joopercoopers]] ([[User talk:Joopercoopers|talk]]) 19:42, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:Doesn't it need an admin to reverse a move? Or is there a case for moving it to "2010 Tyneside Shootings" - Tyneside being a more general area, not an administrative one (and that's what the BBC are using). [[User:Quantpole|Quantpole]] ([[User talk:Quantpole|talk]]) 19:52, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

*It's not recentist, and the former title was Northumberland, not Northumbria, not that there is a difference, both are misleading without 'police'. The manhunt remains the notable thing about the article, even after it ends. If you think that there have been comparable incidents in the past, please say so, but I'm sorry if you think it diminishes 1 death, but you won't be doing anything usefull by claiming that 1 death by shooting is notable in Tyneside. You might as well name it [[2010 London knife attack]] for all the long term notability that has. Yes, the shootings started the manhunt, I never said they didn't, but like I already said, had he been caught straight away after the 'shootings', ''there would be no article''. People are free to disagree, but that's just a plain fact. And in terms of content of the article, the shootings are a small part of the incident, getting smaller everyday. The ongoing coverage is due to the manhunt. And 'shootings' is hardly informative after, considering it makes no distinction between this relatively minor 1 death 2 injured incident here, and the mass shootings in Cumbria. If you revert this back to plain 'shootings', then people are just going to be starting articles every time some random shooting occurs in the UK, which is actually not as rare an event as the news makes out, and certainly not something that is automatically notable. In that regard, I can tell you now for free, 'Tyneside shootings' is a totally poor title as an alternative (although at least better than the misleading 'Northumberland' one), which, while it is something the news would pick as a title, they do not have to worry whether it means anything in years to come - this is the difference between news values and encyclopoedia values. I rather think that Northumbria manhunt will resonate in future as well as now, because that is from where I'm sitting, the notable part of this incident - the police appeals, the cordons, the raids, the motive / backstory, etc etc etc. [[User:MickMacNee|MickMacNee]] ([[User talk:MickMacNee|talk]]) 19:50, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, your opinion Mick, but lets get some consensus before we start moving the article around willy nilly. How many shootings would you like before the original makes sense over the manhunt? I'd be pretty happy with 2010 Tyneside shootings. --[[User:Joopercoopers|Joopercoopers]] ([[User talk:Joopercoopers|talk]]) 19:56, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Irrelevant. Feel free to make an argument for changing it based on the facts of ''this incident'', but I'm not going to start debating theoretical situations that have never happened. No two incidents are the same, and the notability of this incident is all about the manhunt. That is frankly beyond obvious to me - this is not opinion, it's basic fact, based on the facts on the ground and of the coverage of this incident. Still, people are free to disagree, just don't give proveably false opinions such as the idea that 'Tyneside shootings' is anything but a transient news title, and in a few months, let alone years, will not make anyone think of this incident. Not to mention that Rothbury is frankly nowhere near Tyneside, and you need to have your geographic frame of reference expanded to full wide angle before even Birtley can be considered part of Tyneside either. [[User:MickMacNee|MickMacNee]] ([[User talk:MickMacNee|talk]]) 20:07, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
::I've been looking at the article all day with misgivings about how exactly it should be titled - oh, and disagreeing with the (now removed) link to [[spree killing]], the definition of which does not cover the events to date. The "manhunt" is probably the most noteworthy aspect of the incident so far. As it unfolds and more information is released and verified, I don't think it improbable that the article will be retitled again. But I'm comfortable with it being called a "manhunt" at the moment. For all the media frenzy (and rolling coverage of a roadblock all day hehe), it is hardly Hungerford or Cumbria revisited. At least not at the moment. And hopefully for all involved not at all, of course. [[User:Keristrasza|Keristrasza]] ([[User talk:Keristrasza|talk]]) 20:00, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:::Anyone up for removing the infobox altogether? What's it adding?--[[User:Joopercoopers|Joopercoopers]] ([[User talk:Joopercoopers|talk]]) 20:03, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
::"The manhunt remains the notable thing about the article, even after it ends." Even today, during the manhunt, there have been many other strands to the story that have been at play in the news. The letter written to the police, the supposed steroid use, the hostages etc etc. Yes, one death from a shooting is not automatically notable, but everything that has happened since then, and the prolonged period in the news does make ''the shootings'' themselves notable.

::::(ec) I take the point, and agree that there is a helluva lot more mileage in this story yet to come.

For now, the title isn't really such a big deal - nothing is set in stone - and I fully expect the article to be retitled and completely unrecognisable by the time this - if it does - comes to trial.

::Notability is not decided by the subject of any possible future court case, and it is probably more likely he is going to simply be shot in a final stand than be captured alive. And the notability is the manhunt - that is the word that precedes every single ongoing report, and it is the only reason why this incident will ever be re-visited in the future by historians or newspapers. Yes, the manhunt was set off by the shootings. So what? That is made clear in the first line of the article. It does not make the title any more relevant, because the simle fact is, without the manhunt, the shootings would not have become notable.

== Moat's child - delete ==

Although he has not been arrested, the explicit naming of a child in an article about an alleged murderer is poor judgement. The daughter has not got anything to do with present events and therefore the name should be should be left out of this article. It's notable that Moat has a daughter but it's not notable to name who she is (based on Wikipedia's own criteria).

If he get arrested, then laws pertaining to the [[Children and Young Persons Act 1933]] come into play especially when it's such a high-profile case (you have in fact given her a name, therefore putting her at potential risk). Therefore the name should be removed forthwith. I have not done it myself because I don't want to get involved in an edit war. That is why I have made my case here first.

Please note on Wikipedia : A reverse precedence has already been set. In the article about [[Billy Bob Thornton]], details about his daughter being charged with murder were removed because it has nothing to do with him. Under that reasoning, Moat's daughter should be shown the same courtesy as she is not involved in these current events and therefore should have her anonymity protected. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.171.18.0|86.171.18.0]] ([[User talk:86.171.18.0|talk]]) 09:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to upload [http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north-east-news/evening-chronicle-news/2010/07/05/police-release-photos-of-pc-david-rathband-s-injuries-72703-26791276/ these images] of PC David Rathband to illustrate the [[2010 Northumbria Police manhunt]] article. They were reportedly issued by Northumbria Police "At his request we are releasing a photograph of his injuries before he received treatment. He has agreed to the release of this photos on the basis the media respect the express wishes of his family not to be approached or identified."

Therefore, I think the best naming for this article would be 2010 Birtley Shootings (My apologies for saying Northumbria earlier, as technically, Birtley is in Northumberland, as Northumbria isn't actually a place, just a police service), or something similar, depending on what would be the most recognizable. --[[User:Fbifriday|Fbifriday]] ([[User talk:Fbifriday|talk]]) 01:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
::::We should take a step back here, in a situation that is subject to rapid development; there is no universally accepted term amongst the [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that give this incident a name. If you look at the "What links here" to the left of the article, all the bases seems to be covered. There is no requirement here for us to be up to date, as I've already mentioned above, ad [[Wikinews]] is the more obvious vehicle for currently-developing situations.

:::::I have just created a redirect from [[2010 Rothbury manhunt]] as to me that would seem to be a logical name as the main story seems to be about the search for Moat.

== Intro ==

The intro is no longer follows [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section)]]; I've just skimmed through it and there's at least three pieces of information that are not mentioned in the main part of the article. I'm pretty tired now, so if anyone's willing to hack it down to a summary of the article's main body – go ahead! [[User:Mattgirling|matt]] ([[User talk:Mattgirling|talk]]) 01:58, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

:::Both the BBC and Sky are saying a "good source" says that Moat has died. They're both careful not to explicitly say that this is the case ''without'' talking about this source.

::::: The link is [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/10583839.stm here], and it's in the title. And on BBC radio, they said that while the Northumbria police have yet to put out an official statement, their police sources have confirmed, as usually happens with breaking news, the official statement takes longer than the unofficial comments --[[User:Fbifriday|Fbifriday]] ([[User talk:Fbifriday|talk]]) 02:43, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
::::: Sky News are repeatidly saying that the police and hospital have not confirmed the death of Roaul Moat. This kind of clashes with what the BBC is saying; I'm sure the police would not just tell the BBC but not the rest of the media? They usually release it all in one statement of some kind, right? [[User:JasonO99|JasonO99]] ([[User talk:JasonO99|talk]]) 02:48, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
::::::It depends on who which reporter talks to. If they're just talking to one specific random officer, yes, one news service could get the news before a different.

I propose adding "9 July - Rothbury" to the location map next to the lead, because that is when and where the final standoff was, where the manhunt came to a close. [[Special:Contributions/94.212.31.237|94.212.31.237]] ([[User talk:94.212.31.237|talk]]) 06:34, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Far less notable maniacs have their own pages, why does Raoul only exist within the context of the establishments attempts to subdue him? [[Special:Contributions/78.151.46.79|78.151.46.79]] ([[User talk:78.151.46.79|talk]]) 14:03, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

: The relevant guideline is [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)#People notable only for one event]], which says "The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person." If he was notable for something else ''as well'', then an article might be justified.

The youngster developed himself rapidly. After playing for Feyenoord U15, De Vrij was one of the players to skip the U16 team to play in U17 immediately.<ref name="ad"/>
