edit. 265,327 active editors 7,120,949 articles in English From today's featured article The Impartial Scout of June 1650, mentioning Alkin Elizabeth Alkin (c. 1600 – c. 1655) was a publisher, nurse and spy for the Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War (1642–1651). She was also commonly known as Parliamentary Joan, one of many derogatory names she was called by royalist sympathisers. Little is known about Alkin's early life. Her husband was arrested and hanged in 1643 by the royalists during the English Civil War for spying for the Parliamentarians; Alkin continued his work, spying in Oxford—the royalist wartime capital—even during the city's siege. By 1648 Alkin was involved in selling and then publishing Parliamentary newsbooks (example pictured)—the forerunners of newspapers.

Recently featured: National Assembly constituencies of the Bahamas Songs recorded by Chuck Mosley U.S. Figure Skating Championships Archive More featured lists Today's featured picture Antonio de Ulloa (12 January 1716 – 3 July 1795) was a Spanish Navy officer. He spent much of his career in Spanish America, where he carried out important scientific work. As a scientist, Ulloa is regarded as one of the major figures of the Spanish Enlightenment. At the age of nineteen, Ulloa joined the French Geodesic Mission to the Equator, which established that the shape of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles, as predicted by Isaac Newton. Ulloa traveled throughout the territories of the Viceroyalty of Peru from 1736 to 1744, making many astronomical, natural, and social observations. He published the first detailed observations of platinum, later identified as a new chemical element. As a military officer, Ulloa achieved the rank of vice admiral. He also served the Spanish Empire as an administrator in the Viceroyalty of Peru and in Spanish Louisiana. This posthumous oil portrait of Ulloa was painted by Andrés Cortés in 1856. Originally in the Palacio de San Telmo, the painting was donated by Infanta Luisa Fernanda to the City Council of Seville in 1898, and now hangs in Seville City Hall.

California United States Coordinates 33°49′51″N 117°55′56″W / 33.83086695085987°N 117.93227389398953°W Construction Built c. 1922 Opened 1989; 37 years ago (as Linda's Doll Hut) The Doll Hut is a music venue on Adams Street in Anaheim, California. Operating since 1989, the venue is known as a mainstay for the Orange County punk rock scene, with several local acts such as The Offspring, Adolescents, and The Ziggens playing shows there prior to finding mainstream success. With a maximum capacity of 89 people, the Doll Hut is known for its small size which creates an intimate atmosphere during shows, with \"pushing and shoving and vocalists screaming lyrics only inches from patrons’ faces\".[1] Background[edit] The Doll Hut is located in a roadhouse shack near Interstate 5 in Anaheim, California. The small venue has a maximum capacity of 89 occupants and previously held 49 before its pool tables were removed. The stage is a \"low-rise corner wedge\" and the walls of the interior are covered in band stickers and punk rock photos. The Doll Hut has a bar.[1][2] The Doll Hut is venerated for its long operating span despite its small size. Social Distortion lead vocalist Mike Ness told The Orange County Register that the venue became \"a landmark for Orange County rock 'n' roll\". Patronage at the venue peaked in the 1990s.[1][2] History[edit] The Doll Hut building, a small shack, was built around 1922. It formerly operated as a restaurant called Sunkist Cafe. Linda Jemison purchased the building in 1989 and converted it into a bar and music venue, intending it to be akin to the Whisky a Go Go nightclub in West Hollywood, California.[1][2] The venue first opened as Linda's Doll Hut and hosted various local rock acts. It gained notoriety among the Orange County punk rock scene for its rowdy shows performed by emerging bands. The Doll Hut's attendance declined, which contributed to Jemison's decision to sell it in 2001. Upon sale, it was renamed to the Doll Hut.[1] Subsequent owners made significant changes to the Doll Hut that represented a departure from its roots, such as a conversion to a Spanish language venue with the interior walls painted blue and orange. In 2007, owner Dirk Belling began the process of restoring the facility to its original look and punk rock programming.[2] In 2012, former de facto house band The Ziggens played the last show at the venue before its closure. It was converted into a short-lived Latin bar in 2013.[3] In 2014, former Doll Hut show booker Michael McGarvey and his girlfriend Tammy Butler purchased the building and reopened it with its original format.[4] Notable acts[edit] Adolescents[1] Blink-182[2] Brian Setzer[2] The Dandy Warhols[2] Jimmy Eat World[2] The Offspring[1] Sublime[2] The Ziggens[1] References[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b c d e f g h Vega, Priscella (April 25, 2016). \"How did the Doll Hut become an O.C. music scene focal point?

For aspiring contributors, also see this guide and tutorial. For other uses, see Wikipedia:Wikipedia (disambiguation). Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing. — Jimmy Wales Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and millions already have. Wikipedia's purpose is to benefit readers by presenting information on all branches of knowledge. It consists of freely editable content, with articles that usually contain numerous links guiding readers to more information. Wikipedia is one of many Wikimedia projects hosted by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation. Written collaboratively by volunteers known as Wikipedians, Wikipedia articles can be edited by anyone with Internet access, except in limited cases in which editing is restricted to prevent disruption or vandalism. Since its creation on January 15, 2001, it has grown into the world's largest reference website, attracting over a billion visitors each month. Wikipedia is a multilingual project, with more than sixty-six million articles in more than 300 seperate wikis for almost as many languages. This includes 7,120,966 articles in English, with 265,327 active contributors in the past month. A short video explaining how Wikipedia works Wikipedia's fundamental principles are summarized in its five pillars. While the Wikipedia community has developed many policies and guidelines, new editors do not need to be familiar with them before they start contributing. Anyone can edit Wikipedia's text, data, references, and images. The quality of content is more important than the expertise of who contributes it. Wikipedia's content must conform with its policies, including being verifiable by published reliable sources. Contributions based on personal opinions, beliefs, or personal experiences, unreviewed research, libellous material, and copyright violations are not allowed, and will not remain. Wikipedia's software makes it easy to reverse errors, and experienced editors watch and patrol bad edits. Wikipedia differs from printed references in important ways. Anyone can instantly improve it, add quality information, remove misinformation, and fix errors and vandalism. Since Wikipedia is continually updated, encyclopedic articles on major news events appear within minutes. For over 24 years, editors have volunteered their time and talents to create history's most comprehensive encyclopedia while providing references and other resources to researchers worldwide (see Researching with Wikipedia). In summary, since 2001 Wikipedia has tested the wisdom of the crowd, and has found that it succeeds.

She was also commonly known as Parliamentary Joan, one of many derogatory names she was called by royalist sympathisers. Little is known about Alkin's early life. Her husband was arrested and hanged in 1643 by the royalists during the English Civil War for spying for the Parliamentarians; Alkin continued his work, spying in Oxford—the royalist wartime capital—even during the city's siege. By 1648 Alkin was involved in selling and then publishing Parliamentary newsbooks (example pictured)—the forerunners of newspapers. She used her role as a vendor to track down and report several publishers of royalist material. After the civil war, Alkin nursed casualties of the First Anglo-Dutch War, initially in Portsmouth, then Harwich and Ipswich. With her health failing she returned to London. It is presumed she died shortly afterwards, possibly over the 1655 Christmas period. (Full article...)

Recently featured: National Assembly constituencies of the Bahamas Songs recorded by Chuck Mosley U.S. Figure Skating Championships Archive More featured lists Today's featured picture Antonio de Ulloa (12 January 1716 – 3 July 1795) was a Spanish Navy officer. He spent much of his career in Spanish America, where he carried out important scientific work. As a scientist, Ulloa is regarded as one of the major figures of the Spanish Enlightenment. At the age of nineteen, Ulloa joined the French Geodesic Mission to the Equator, which established that the shape of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles, as predicted by Isaac Newton. Ulloa traveled throughout the territories of the Viceroyalty of Peru from 1736 to 1744, making many astronomical, natural, and social observations. He published the first detailed observations of platinum, later identified as a new chemical element. As a military officer, Ulloa achieved the rank of vice admiral. He also served the Spanish Empire as an administrator in the Viceroyalty of Peru and in Spanish Louisiana. This posthumous oil portrait of Ulloa was painted by Andrés Cortés in 1856. Originally in the Palacio de San Telmo, the painting was donated by Infanta Luisa Fernanda to the City Council of Seville in 1898, and now hangs in Seville City Hall.

encyclopedia Doll Hut Wikimedia | © OpenStreetMap Interactive map of Doll Hut Former names Linda's Doll Hut (1989–2001) Address 107 S Adams St. Anaheim, California United States Coordinates 33°49′51″N 117°55′56″W / 33.83086695085987°N 117.93227389398953°W Construction Built c. 1922 Opened 1989; 37 years ago (as Linda's Doll Hut) The Doll Hut is a music venue on Adams Street in Anaheim, California. Operating since 1989, the venue is known as a mainstay for the Orange County punk rock scene, with several local acts such as The Offspring, Adolescents, and The Ziggens playing shows there prior to finding mainstream success. With a maximum capacity of 89 people, the Doll Hut is known for its small size which creates an intimate atmosphere during shows, with \"pushing and shoving and vocalists screaming lyrics only inches from patrons’ faces\".[1] Background[edit] The Doll Hut is located in a roadhouse shack near Interstate 5 in Anaheim, California. The small venue has a maximum capacity of 89 occupants and previously held 49 before its pool tables were removed. The stage is a \"low-rise corner wedge\" and the walls of the interior are covered in band stickers and punk rock photos. The Doll Hut has a bar.[1][2] The Doll Hut is venerated for its long operating span despite its small size. Social Distortion lead vocalist Mike Ness told The Orange County Register that the venue became \"a landmark for Orange County rock 'n' roll\". Patronage at the venue peaked in the 1990s.[1][2] History[edit] The Doll Hut building, a small shack, was built around 1922. It formerly operated as a restaurant called Sunkist Cafe. Linda Jemison purchased the building in 1989 and converted it into a bar and music venue, intending it to be akin to the Whisky a Go Go nightclub in West Hollywood, California.[1][2] The venue first opened as Linda's Doll Hut and hosted various local rock acts. It gained notoriety among the Orange County punk rock scene for its rowdy shows performed by emerging bands. The Doll Hut's attendance declined, which contributed to Jemison's decision to sell it in 2001. Upon sale, it was renamed to the Doll Hut.[1] Subsequent owners made significant changes to the Doll Hut that represented a departure from its roots, such as a conversion to a Spanish language venue with the interior walls painted blue and orange. In 2007, owner Dirk Belling began the process of restoring the facility to its original look and punk rock programming.[2] In 2012, former de facto house band The Ziggens played the last show at the venue before its closure. It was converted into a short-lived Latin bar in 2013.[3] In 2014, former Doll Hut show booker Michael McGarvey and his girlfriend Tammy Butler purchased the building and reopened it with its original format.[4] Notable acts[edit] Adolescents[1] Blink-182[2] Brian Setzer[2] The Dandy Warhols[2] Jimmy Eat World[2] The Offspring[1] Sublime[2] The Ziggens[1] References[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b c d e f g h Vega, Priscella (April 25, 2016). \"How did the Doll Hut become an O.C. music scene focal point?

For aspiring contributors, also see this guide and tutorial. For other uses, see Wikipedia:Wikipedia (disambiguation). Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing. — Jimmy Wales Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and millions already have. Wikipedia's purpose is to benefit readers by presenting information on all branches of knowledge. It consists of freely editable content, with articles that usually contain numerous links guiding readers to more information. Wikipedia is one of many Wikimedia projects hosted by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation. Written collaboratively by volunteers known as Wikipedians, Wikipedia articles can be edited by anyone with Internet access, except in limited cases in which editing is restricted to prevent disruption or vandalism. Since its creation on January 15, 2001, it has grown into the world's largest reference website, attracting over a billion visitors each month. Wikipedia is a multilingual project, with more than sixty-six million articles in more than 300 seperate wikis for almost as many languages. This includes 7,120,966 articles in English, with 265,327 active contributors in the past month. A short video explaining how Wikipedia works Wikipedia's fundamental principles are summarized in its five pillars. While the Wikipedia community has developed many policies and guidelines, new editors do not need to be familiar with them before they start contributing. Anyone can edit Wikipedia's text, data, references, and images. The quality of content is more important than the expertise of who contributes it. Wikipedia's content must conform with its policies, including being verifiable by published reliable sources. Contributions based on personal opinions, beliefs, or personal experiences, unreviewed research, libellous material, and copyright violations are not allowed, and will not remain. Wikipedia's software makes it easy to reverse errors, and experienced editors watch and patrol bad edits. Wikipedia differs from printed references in important ways. Anyone can instantly improve it, add quality information, remove misinformation, and fix errors and vandalism. Since Wikipedia is continually updated, encyclopedic articles on major news events appear within minutes. For over 24 years, editors have volunteered their time and talents to create history's most comprehensive encyclopedia while providing references and other resources to researchers worldwide (see Researching with Wikipedia). In summary, since 2001 Wikipedia has tested the wisdom of the crowd, and has found that it succeeds.
