[[Category:Approved Wikipedia bot requests for approval | NW557Bot
The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. The result of the discussion was 20px Approved.
NW557Bot
Operator: NickW557
Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic with supervision
Programming Language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Function Summary: Substitute Wikipedia:UTM templates (mostly warning templates) on user talk pages.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): Once or twice daily, generally once.
Edit rate requested: 4-5 edits per minute
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N
Function Details: I have noticed during RC patrol that many patrollers forget to substitute vandalism, spam, NPOV,... warning templates on user talk pages. The high-risk templates are protected or semi-protected but others are not. Occasional bad vandalism, like this, can have extraordinary results across all the user talk pages for users that have been warned without substitution, and this is obviously why it is stressed to substitute warning templates. After noticing this, I looked through "what transcludes here" for many of the common warning templates and the numbers are upwards of 200 for each. NW557Bot would gather the list of user talk pages which contain transcluded warning templates and then automatically substitute them. Other bots perform template substitution, but I think another bot which focuses solely on warning templates would be beneficial. I look forward to any constructive criticism as this is my first Request for Bot Approval.
Discussion
Great job with your first approval :-) You did everything right. Make 50-100 edits and report back with diffs. I've enabled bot mode in AWB for your bot. —METS501 (talk) 03:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! It has made 70 edits now, 69 of those relating to this request (the other one was opting out of HagermanBot signing, so it wont sign the bot's name to templates it substitutes that weren't signed by those who left the warning). During the trial run I substituted {{Uw-delete1}}, {{Uw-delete2}}, {{Uw-delete3}}, and {{Uw-delete4}} along with their respective shortcut templates (Uw-d1, etc.). Here is a diff for each of those: Uw-delete1 Uw-delete2 Uw-delete3 Uw-delete4. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 07:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
This bot shall run with a flag. —METS501 (talk) 18:26, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Article has remained in a clean up status almost 4 mos. Questionable notability. Masterpedia 02:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
weak delete I am from that area and have never heard of it. Seems non-notable.--Fahrenheit451 04:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. -- Masterpedia 04:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
weak keep it was my understanding that school pages, regardless of how obscure were to be kept? If that is wrong, then delete.Balloonman 04:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete. School pages have to establish notability, just like everyone else. Dennitalk 06:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Weak Keep, give this article another chance to be expanded to the general level of other high schools. If not then delete but maybe this AfD will encourage some expansion. Mkdwtalk 08:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Article asserts that the school has been awarded the Blue Ribbon Schools Program award, which seems to suggest notability to me. JulesH 12:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
"has recognized more than 3,000 schools." (WP)DGG 19:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Weak Keep - I was going to strongly argue delete, but before submitting I looked up other school deletions and the list of article for schools in Maine. It would seem that while I'll never care, I would definitely like to be able to look up an encyclopedic article of where I graduated from. Notability is provided by longetivity and accomplishments. If they can get some truthful statements about accomplishments besides the Blue Ribbon award (I don't consider that notable at all myself), then they should be kept. Insane college acceptance, sports titles, anything really... somebody should tag it as a stub. Perhaps they have enough high school students who break the norm that one might make the article contain something useful. Autocracy 20:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep per reasoning of Autocracy. If the article can be improved a little, maybe a few more references ill change to strong keep. Needs improving not deleting.LordHarris 00:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Strong keep, the precedent has always been to keep articles about high schools. --דניאל - Danielrocks123 contribs 01:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Luther Kountze | Short description | Luther Kountze (October 29, 1841 – April 17, 1918) was an American banker, responsible for helping the city of Denver, Colorado in a time of need and leaving a philanthropic legacy in Morristown, New Jersey. He founded a late-19th century national banking dynasty along with his brothers Charles, Herman and Augustus."August Kountze obituary", New York Times. May 1, 1892. Retrieved 1/28/08.
From 1858 to 1862, Luther worked at the Kountze Brothers Bank in Omaha, Nebraska, which was operated by his brothers Augustus and Herman. Late in 1862, he went to Denver, Colorado, where he opened a bank under the name of Kountze Brothers and listed his brothers as senior members. In 1866, they organized the Colorado National Bank of Denver.Hill, E.C. (1919) The Historical Register, Illustrated with Portrait Plates. p. 226.
After a great fire engulfed much of the city in 1867, Kountze was credited with saving the city of Denver, Colorado from financial disaster, and ultimately, oblivion. Late that year and into the next, Kountze worked with several other investors to form the company that would eventually become the Denver Pacific Railroad and Telegraph Co.

In 1868, he established the Kountze Brothers Bank at 52 Wall Street in Manhattan.Colorado bank check, Colorado revenue imprinted check. Mt. Gothic Tomes and Reliquary His brother Augustus later joined him there, where they traded securities and bonds. In 1908, U.S. Senator Robert M. La Follette included him in the "100 men who controlled banking." He was then vice-president and a director of the United States Mortgage and Trust Company.
In 1881, Luther moved to Morristown, New Jersey and built an English-style estate designed by George E. Harney. He died in 1918, leaving an estate valued at $4,973,950.Description of estate assets, New York Times. November 29, 1922.
Kountze was one of the founders of the Metropolitan Opera House Company. He contributed a large part of the land that now forms the National Jockey Hollow Park in Morristown, NJ. |

Summit Motorsports Park | Infobox motorsport venue
| Summit Motorsports Park, formerly Norwalk Raceway Park and Norwalk Dragway, is a drag racing facility located at 1300 State Route 18 near Norwalk, Ohio. It has been a National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) sanctioned facility since 2007 and annually hosts the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals an NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Event and the Cavalcade of Stars, an NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Regional Event. As well as the national events, the facility holds regular local competition throughout the season.
Norwalk Dragway opened to the public in 1963 but lay dormant for much of the first ten years of its existence. Goodyear briefly used the track for tire testing up to 1973 when the track was sold to a joint venture between Wayne Sergeant and Bill Bader. Sergeant pulled out of the deal the following year and Bader continued as the sole owner. The track was reopened on April 28, 1974.
In 1981, Norwalk hosted the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) World Nationals for the first time. It continued to host this event up to the 2006 season and had become the IHRA's flagship drag racing facility by this time.
In 2007, Ohio-based automotive parts company Summit Racing Equipment purchased the naming rights to the facility. The Pontiac Performance NHRA Nationals, held at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio between 1972 and 2006, found its new home at Summit Motorsports Park in 2007. In preparation for the facility's NHRA debut, millions of dollars were spent in upgrades and renovations.
In 2008, the last NHRA national event to run the nitromethane classes to 1320' was held here. Since this race, nitromethane classes have only been contested to 1000' to allow for more braking distance at national events.
In 2020, track owner Bill Bader initially refused to shut down the track as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the track was eventually shuttered for the entire 2020 season, with plans to reopen in 2021. |

Gyokusen-ji | Short description | is a Buddhist temple located in the city of Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is noteworthy in that it served as the first American consulate in Japan. The temple and its grounds were designated as a National Historic Site of Japan in 1951. |
Gyokusen-ji | History | History
The exact date of the foundation of Gyokusen-ji is uncertain, but temple records indicate that it was originally a Shingon sect hermitage converted to the Sōtō Zen sect in the Tenshō period (1573–1592). The current Hondō was built in 1848, but soon after its completion it was commandeered by the Tokugawa shogunate for use as a residence for foreign visitors to Shimoda during negotiations to end Japan's national isolation policy. It hosted officers from American Commodore Matthew Perry’s flotilla of Black Ships, and Japanese authorities allowed the bodies of dead American sailors to be buried in its graveyard. |
Gyokusen-ji | Visit by Admiral Putyatin | Visit by Admiral Putyatin
Gyokusen-ji was selected by officials of the Tokugawa shogunate to host Imperial Russian admiral Yevfimiy Putyatin and his officers during their stay in Shimoda. Putyatin had called at Shimoda on November 22, 1854, as it had been opened to the Americans by the Convention of Kanagawa, intending to continue on to Edo to press on with negotiations to establish a similar treaty between Japan and Russia. However, he became stranded in Shimoda due to a tsunami caused by the Ansei Tokai earthquake which destroyed his ships. Negotiations continued at Shimoda while Putyatin's worked on building a new ship at nearby Heda. These negotiations resulted in the Treaty of Shimoda on February 7, 1855, which opened the ports of Hakodate, Nagasaki and Shimoda to Russian vessels, permitted limited trading and the residence of a Russian consul, and fixed the border of Japan and Russia on the Kurile Islands between Urup and Iturup. The graves of four Russian sailors (three from the Diana and one from the Askold) who died while at Shimoda are located at the temple. |
Gyokusen-ji | First US consulate in Japan | First US consulate in Japan
Shortly after the Russian delegation departed, Gyokusen-ji was again commandeered by the government. After the Treaty of Kanagawa theoretically opened Japan to the outside world, a group of American merchants landed in Shimoda and unsuccessfully attempted to open trade relations – an issue which had not yet been settled by treaty. This group resided at Gyokusen-ji after the departure of the Russians almost until the arrival of Townsend Harris, the first American Consul General to Japan in 1856, together with his secretary-interpreter Henry Heusken. The temple was used as their residence and as the official US consulate in Japan for a period of two years and ten months.
The temple has opened the Townsend Harris Museum, with documents, ukiyo-e, and dioramas describing the temple during the Bakumatsu period, along with a few of Townsend Harris's personal effects, the diary of Hamada Yoheiji, headman of Kakizaki village where the temple is located, and other items. |

Five Americans and three Russians who died in Shimoda in the 1850s are buried in the temple cemetery. The five Americans buried at Gyokusen-ji are recorded as:
Robert Williams, US Marine private who died from a fever while serving on the USS Mississippi (b. Hebron, Connecticut, d. 6 March 1854, aged 21). Williams body had initially been interred in Yokohama in a Christian burial service conducted by Revd. George Jones on the 9 March 1854. After the signing of the Convention of Kanagawa on 31 March 1854, a decision was made to relocate his grave to Shimoda, the designated treaty port, prior to the fleet's departure in June.
G.W. Parish, USN sailor who died in a fall from rigging while serving on the USS Powhatan (d. 5 May 1854, aged 24)
Jas. Hamilton, USN Assistant Surgeon on the USS Susquehanna (d. 6 September 1854, aged 38)
John D. Storm, USN fireman serving on the USS Powhatan (b. Schoharie County, New York, d. 2 February 1855, aged 27)
Alexander Doonan, US Marine serving on the USS Mississippi (d. 31 July 1858) |

Harris remained in residence at the temple for two years and ten months. During his stay, Harris demanded that the Japanese provide him with both milk and beef. Gyokusen-ji today has a monument decorated with the image of a cow, which the temple claims to mark the site where the first cow to be slaughtered in Japan for human consumption was killed. Its English language sign reads:
"This monument, erected in 1931 by the butchers of Tokyo, marks the spot where the first cow in Japan was slaughtered for human consumption. (Eaten by Harris and Heusken)".
Other memorials include a commemoration of the temple as the birthplace of Japanese milk production, and another commemorating the visit of President Jimmy Carter in 1979. |

Avvenire | Short description | (English: "Future") is a daily newspaper which is affiliated with the Catholic Church and is based in Milan, Italy. |
Avvenire | History and profile | History and profile
was founded in 1968 in Milan through the merger of two Catholic newspapers: of Bologna and of Milan. The paper has its headquarters in Milan and is the organ of the progressive wing of the Vatican Council. Pope Paul VI strongly supported the daily and wanted a common cultural medium for Italian Catholics. Throughout its history, has maintained this characteristic, despite pressures to accommodate itself to the needs of a society in evolution. For example, in the middle of the 1990s, under the editorship of Dino Boffo, it increased its coverage of civil society and extended the parts of the newspaper devoted to cultural debate.
New initiatives were also launched. In February 1996, a biweekly insert under the name of "Popotus" was published devoted exclusively to youth, for whom three other inserts were also included: "Luoghi dell'Infinito", "Noi Genitori e Figli", and "Non Profit". In 1998, an Internet edition began to be published.
On 7 March 2002, experienced a major change with the format and content. From that time, a number of new inserts have been included: "è lavoro" (about job and employment), "è vita" (about bioethics), and "Agorà domenica" (about culture).
These innovations have led to a steady increase in its circulation, significant given the general decline in sales of other Italian newspapers. The average number of copies sold each day in February 2005 was 103,000. As of 2024, Marco Girardo was the editor of the newspaper.
The newspaper belongs to the Italian Episcopal Conference. |
Avvenire | Circulation | Circulation

Alonso Vázquez | short description | thumbnail|300px|Sagrada cena
Alonso Vázquez (1565 – c. 1608) was a Spanish sculptor and painter of the Renaissance period.
Vázquez was born in Ronda, and learned painting in the school of Arfian at Seville. He passed through the usual apprenticeship "sargas" (inexpensive paintings on rough canvas) leading to frescoes and oils on wood panels. For the Cathedral and the convents of St. Francis and St. Paul, he painted a variety of works, no longer extant. He painted a series of canvases on the Life of St. Raymond, for the cloister of the friars of the Order of Mercy. He was also one of the artists chosen by the city of Seville to paint the great catafalque erected in the Cathedral at the time of public mourning for the death of Philip II.
Vázquez died either in Seville or in Mexico, probably about the middle of the reign of Philip III. |

In the second half of the 19th century, there were many trading companies and banks that made inroads into Kobe, and the comparatively wealthy families who worked for these companies, tended to live on the mountain side of Kobe and Ashiya. Originally the Kobe fashion-style was seen in children of such wealthy families. The fashion-style was characterized by the refined everyday wear which in quiet colors (navy blue, black, white and gray), in contrast to the popular style for girls in Osaka. From around 1990, many Japanese women's magazines came to take up this style, because it is known to look refined and cute by women in their teens and early 20s. A magazine named Kobe Style focuses on the style trends of Kobe. what is kobe-style?

Three generations of Guthries: an American musical family. Dirty Linen, June/July 2002, p. 36-43.
My dad was absolutely thrilled, of course, and would teach me stuff every day when we were on the road together. That was a really cool way to get to know my dad, because I'd never known him that way. And that's another thing that made it easy: my dad was so supportive.Alarik, Scott."The Guthries & Seegers Are At It Again!" Retrieved July 30, 2007. |

Ernie Earnshaw | short description | Ernie Earnshaw is a musician and recording artist. He began playing drums with the Royale Monarchs. The Monarchs were a popular surf-band of the 1960s, at the Bob Eubanks Cinnamon Cinder night clubs, in Los Angeles and performed on Sam Riddell's Ninth St. West Dance Program. Producer Gary Usher signed the new reformed group The Forte' Four to a recording contract at Decca Records. Two singles were released without much fanfare, and when The Forte IV broke up, Ernie met and auditioned for Six the Hard Way, a group of three singers and three pieces which went on the road and stayed there through 1967. When Six the Hard Way broke up, Ernie and Chuck Girard went back to Pasadena where Chuck started writing, and eventually Chuck Girard, Jack Schaeffer, Ernie and a couple of Chuck's friends recorded two demos, "Feel the Love" and "Enchanted Forest." These were the beginnings of what many consider the first Christian Rock group. Earnshaw left this band in the spring of 1968, joining BigFoot, which became Bill Medley's band in the summer of 1970.
At the end of that year, the gig with Bill Medley dried up, so Earnshaw loaded his VW Beetle and headed north. In the spring of 1971, he joined a band in the act of making their debut album. They were The Wackers, a band that had grown out of a songwriting partnership consisting of Bob Segarini and Randy Bishop, late of the band, Roxy. Based in Eureka California, where they'd encountered Michael Stull, with his baritone voice and Rickenbacker "Double Six," and William "Kootch" Trochim on bass. The Wackers played local clubs and did the occasional live unplugged show on various radio stations. In 1972, The Wackers moved to Montreal, Quebec and became very popular by playing many high-school and college dances.
In the Fall of 1973, unrest and reorganization in the record business caused Elektra to drop many acts from their rosters. Earnshaw returned to Humboldt County and played steadily in nightclubs, street fairs, weddings and such. In addition Earnshaw played drums on several local recording projects, including albums and demos.
Earnshaw's most significant moments during this period were with Rolling Bob, featuring the vocalist, Larry Lampi, the Doug Marcum on guitars/vocals, and Ken Susan on bass/vocals. Formed in 1976, this band is still playing occasionally. On July 24, 2011 in Toronto, The Wackers strapped it on again with a 1 hour and 45 minute set, and sources report that the band "......like totally rawked, dude!" |
