How to create a category: After you have determined an appropriate category name and know its parent category, you are ready to create the new category. To create a category, first add an article to that category. Do this by editing the article page. At the bottom, but before the interwiki links (if any are present), add the name of the new category, (e.g.: Category:New category name ), and save your edit. The as-yet-undefined category name will now appear as a red link in the article's category list at the bottom of the page.

Next, to create the category, click on that red link, which brings you back into the editor. Adding this new category into the appropriate parent category is much the same as with an article: at the bottom, simply add the parent category (e.g.: Category:Parent category name

Philip Klauber

Philip Monroe Klauber (July 19, 1915 - May 23, 2014) was an American businessperson, philanthropist, and amateur historian.

He was born July 19, 1915 in San Diego. His father was Laurence Monroe Klauber (1883-1968), chairman and chief executive officer of San Diego Gas & Electric Company. Laurence was also a serious naturalist; he became the first curator of reptiles at the San Diego Zoo and kept a collection of more than 40,000 specimens in his home. Philip's mother Grace Gould Klauber (December 25, 1884-December 27, 1990) was a lifelong civic activist whose family, the Goulds, was prominent in San Diego philanthropy; her brother Elwyn Bremer Gould was the founding president of what is now the United Way of San Diego County and helped to launch San Diego's Old Globe Theatre. Philip's uncle Melville Klauber was a cofounder, with George Marston, of the San Diego Historical Society, and his aunt Alice Klauber co-founded the San Diego Museum of Art.

Philip grew up at 233 West Juniper Street in the Bankers Hill neighborhood of San Diego and attended San Diego High School. He was an Eagle Scout in San Diego's Boy Scout Troop 20, and in that capacity he helped his father to prepare scientific papers. As a youngster he worked part time for the family business, Klauber Wangenheim's Cash & Carry, a wholesale grocery chain founded by his grandfather Abraham Klauber in 1869. Philip attended San Diego State College (now San Diego State University), then transferred to Stanford University, graduating in 1937 with a bachelor's degree in engineering and a Phi Beta Kappa membership.

After graduation he worked as a test engineer for General Electric in New York, then returned to San Diego in 1946 to work for Solar Aircraft. Starting as an electrical engineer, he advanced to management positions. In 1963 he joined his father at San Diego Gas & Electric and held several vice-president-level positions, retiring in 1980. He also served as a director and chairman of the board of Klauber Wangenheim.

He was so involved in charitable activities that "no civic effort went forward without Phil Klauber at the table," according to Craig Noel, one of the founders of the Old Globe Theatre. He was a cofounder of the Combined Arts and Education Council of San Diego County, known as COMBO. He was a driving force in establishing the Balboa Park Millennium Society, now the Friends of Balboa Park, a charity which works to maintain and improve Balboa Park, and the San Diego Community Foundation, now the San Diego Foundation, an umbrella organization for many private foundations and bequests. He was the founding president of LEAD San Diego, a year-long series of seminars intended to develop civic leaders. He served on the boards of local charities ranging from the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau to the local branch of Planned Parenthood.

He also became a local historian of sorts because of his habit of taking detailed notes of every meeting he attended. His notes were often more detailed and accurate than official minutes, and in some cases they were the only written record of what happened, particularly during the formative phase of an organization. The only written record of the founding of the San Diego Community Foundation turned out to be his notes.

He lived most of his adult life in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego. He married Detty June Stevenson and had a son, a stepson, and two daughters. He died of Parkinson's disease at the age of 98.

Possible article about Elias Samuel Cooper

Elias Samuel Cooper (November 25, 1820-1862) was a physician in San Francisco during the 1880s. He established the first medical school on the West Coast of the United States in 1858; the school became the predecessor to Stanford University School of Medicine.

Cooper was born to a Quaker family on a farm near Somverville, Ohio in Butler County. After serving an apprenticeship with a local doctor and practicing for several years with his brother Esaias, he earned an M.D. degree from the Medical Department of St. Louis University in 1851. Although he later signed his name as "E.S. Cooper, A.M., M.D.", there is no record of his having earned a master of arts degree.

An underwater waterfall is a downward flow of water caused by differences in temperature or salinity. Cold water is more dense than warmer water, so when two bodies of water of different temperature meet, the colder water flows downward. If this occurs near a steep falloff of the ocean bottom, the result is an underwater waterfall.

The world's largest underwater waterfall is found in the Denmark Strait, in the Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and Greenland. Cold water from the eastern side of the strait meets warmer water from the west and flows strongly downward. It falls more than 11,500 feet making in the world's largest underwater waterfall.

Clinton

The pressures of conflicting ideas about the role of a first lady were enough to send Hillary Clinton into "imaginary discussions" with the also-politically-active Eleanor Roosevelt. From the time she came to Washington, Hillary also found refuge in a prayer group of the Fellowship that featured many wives of conservative Washington figures. Triggered in part by the death of her father in April 1993, she publicly sought to find a synthesis of Methodist teachings, liberal religious political philosophy, and Tikkun editor Michael Lerner's "politics of meaning" to overcome what she saw as America's "sleeping sickness of the soul"; that would lead to a willingness "to remold society by redefining what it means to be a human being in the twentieth century, moving into a new millennium."

Draft article

Catherine "Kay" Kerr, born Catherine Mary Spaulding (March 22, 1911 – December 18, 2010), was an environmental activist from California. Together with Sylvia McLaughlin and Esther Gulick, she led a successful drive to stop the filling in and development of the San Francisco Bay and ultimately to restore it to a natural state. She was the wife of Clark Kerr, Chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley from 1952 to 1957, and President of the University of California from 1958 to 1967. This high profile position gave her access to many influential politicians, academics, and thought leaders.

Personal life Kerr was born Los Angeles in 2011. She attended Stanford University where she majored in journalism. (SF obit) She met Clark Kerr at a peace conference in 1934; the pair were married December 25 that year. (bdp obit) They were married for 68 years until his death in 2003. They had a daughter and two sons.(SF obit) She died in 2010 at the age of 99.

In the 1950s San Francisco Bay was not regarded as a natural resource. Raw sewage was routinely discharged into the bay. The foul-smelling shorelines, called "mud flats", were regarded as valueless. Bayside cities routinely filled in adjacent portions of the bay to expand their own area.

Notability comment

Wikipedia is not just another website; it is an international encyclopedia. As such, it has standards for what kind of subjects can have articles here. The subjects have to be "notable", which basically means famous. And there is a very specific definition of what makes a subject "notable" enough for an article: It has to have received significant coverage from independent reliable sources. In the case of N'Everland, I could not find ANY coverage at all from independent sources - and that's not surprising, such it just had its premier episode a few days ago! "Independent" sources means sources which are not controlled or supplied by the subject or by interested parties of the subject. That rules out Facebook, YouTube, private blogs, IMDb, press releases and so on. The subject has to have been noticed, such as reviewed, by reliable third party sources such as newspapers, books, etc. Now, it's possible that the series will catch on and become popular enough to get reviewed by independent reliable sources. But until it does, it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. There are lots of places on the internet where you can promote the series, as you already know (I did see your promotional YouTube teaser). But Wikipedia is not one of those places; it can only have an article here AFTER it becomes notably famous. If you try to publish this article at Wikipedia again, it will almost certainly be speedy-deleted again.

Hello, and thanks for your note. Let me explain. I realize that Blood Donors of America is a real organization, and that it is a legitimate charity and does good work. But unfortunately that's not enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. This is an international encyclopedia, and it has to have standards for inclusion; we don't have articles about just everything in the world. One of those standards is that the subject has to be "notable". What that means is that independent, reliable sources like newspapers or journals or news programs have taken note of the organization and have written about it in depth. It's not enough if there are passing mentions (like "The Blood Donors of America will have a blood drive Saturday"); there has to be coverage ABOUT the organization. Things like Facebook or your own website don't count because they are not independent. I did a search, to see if Blood Donors of America has received that kind of coverage, and unfortunately it has not. That means it cannot have an article here.
The article has now been deleted twice, by two different administrators. If you create it again, it is likely to be deleted again. There are many places where you can promote this organization, but Wikipedia is not one of them. Sorry, and thanks for caring! --MelanieN (talk) 15:52, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

ongoing work re Stanford founding professors

In spring 1891 the Stanfords offered the presidency of their new university to the president of Cornell, Andrew White, but he declined and recommended David Starr Jordan, the 40-year-old president of Indiana University Bloomington. Jordan's educational philosophy was a good fit with the Stanfords' vision of a non-sectarian, co-educational school with a liberal arts curriculum, and he accepted the offer. Jordan arrived at Stanford in June 1891 and immediately set about recruiting faculty for the university's planned September opening. With such a short time frame he drew heavily on his own acquaintance in academia; of the fifteen founding professors, most came either from Indiana University or his alma mater Cornell. The 1891 founding professors included Robert Allardice in mathematics, Douglas Houghton Campbell in botany, Charles Henry Gilbert in zoology, George Elliott Howard in history, Oliver Peebles Jenkins in physiology and histology, Charles David Marx in civil engineering, Fernando Sanford in physics and John Maxson Stillman in chemistry. The total initial teaching staff numbered about 35 including instructors and lecturers. By the second (1892-93) school year Jordan was able to add additional professors including Frank Angell (psychology), Leander M. Hoskins (mechanical engineering), Walter Miller (classics), George C. Price (zoology), and Arly B. Show (history). Most of these two founding groups of professors remained at Stanford until their retirement and were referred to as the "Old Guard".

Add to the founding faculty: John Casper Branner, head of the geology department

"The first student body consisted of 555 men and women, and the original faculty of 15 was expanded to 49 for the second year."

One third of the original professors - five out of 15 - were engineering professors.

"The original faculty included thirty-five professors, instructors and lecturers."

1925: "Having reached age 65, the last of the "Old Guard" original faculty retired: botanist Douglas H. Campbell, zoologist Charles H. Gilbert, mechanical engineer Leander M. Hoskins and zoologist George C. Price. Along with economist and registrar Orrin Leslie Elliott, who also retired that year, they had been recruited in 1891 by David Starr Jordan."

Good article about Jordan and the founding of the university.

Robert Allardice, Mathematics
Robert Allardice was in his late 20s when he came to Stanford. He did not have a PhD but was an established mathematician. He was a professor in Stanford's original faculty of 1891-92. He had received his A.M. from Edinburgh in 1882 and was a student of George Chrystal. His assistance is noted in the preface to the second edition of Chrystal's Algebra. At Edinburgh, Allardice was Baxter Scholar in Mathematics 1882-83, Drummond Scholar in Mathematics 1883-84, and and Assistant Professor of Mathematics from 1884 until he came to Stanford.

George Elliott Howard
Professor George Elliott Howard (1849-1928) was born in New York state, and moved to Nebraska in 1868. He graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1876, and took his master's degree in 1879, after study in Paris and Germany. He became an instructor in history in 1879, then formed the university's department of history with another distinguished alumnus, Howard Caldwell ('80), in 1883. He married classmate Alice May Frost ('76) in 1880, and worked throughout his career for the educational, political, and economic advancement of women and minorities. In 1891 Howard left Nebraska to become one of the original faculty members at the newly opened Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA; he resigned in protest over a matter of academic freedom in 1901. In 1904 he returned to the University of Nebraska, and organized the department of political science and sociology there in 1906. He became president of the American Sociological Society in 1917.

Howard was the commencement speaker in 1893.

Oliver Peebles Jenkins, professor of physiology and histology
Professor Jenkins was a distinguished scholar, one of several Stanford professors who had studied in Europe to take advantage of the advanced knowledge then avail- able on that side of the Atlantic. During Stanford's first year he and a colleague, after scouting the California coast, selected a Pacific Grove site for the University's Hopkins Marine Station and were instrumental in its establishment. Dr. Jenkins was also a gifted teacher and academic counselor, as Ray Lyman Wilbur, Stanford's third presi- dent, attests in his memoirs. "Every day brought something new and interesting," he wrote. "It was a real delight to see him draw a picture on the blackboard with colored chalk and then, in hesitation for the proper word, pass his hand across his brow - until sometimes by the end of the lecture he looked like a painted In- dian." Dr. Jenkins was one of 11 of the Old Guard, as the original faculty was called, who served Stanford continually until retirement. For him this came in 1916. He died on January 9, 1935.
(Faculty memorial page unhelpful, no specifics)
Jenkins was the commencement speaker in 1897

Fernando Sanford, founding chairman of Physics department - Wikipedia article exists
Sanford was the commencement speaker in 1899.

Charles David Marx, professor of Civil Engineering
Charles David Marx was one of Stanford's original faculty, the Old Guard. He came to Stanford in 1891 as professor of civil engineering and taught here until his retirement in 1923. He formed close friendships with his students and was affectionately known as Daddy Marx. Marx was born in Ohio in 1857; during part of his youth he lived in Holland and Germany. He earned a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from Cornell University in 1878, after which he returned to Germany for further study. Before joining the Cornell faculty in 1884 he worked as an engineer on railroad and river projects in the eastern United States. Marx's activities outside his Stanford work included serving on the Palo Alto Board of Trustees from 1896 to 1904 and 1908 to 1933; chairing the first State Water Commission after its organization in 1911; and serving as president of the American Society of Civil Engineers. After his retirement from teaching, Marx was a consultant on many hydraulic and sanitary engineering projects.

John Maxson Stillman, first professor of chemistry. Faculty memorial contains no useful information including no years of service, so it does not confirm that he was one of the founders.
Stillman was the commencement speaker in 1895.

Probably should not be included on the list:

Orrin Leslie Elliott, Economist and Registrar

Frank Angell, first head of the Department of Psychology, may not count as founding faculty since he started in 1892. Angell is credited with the Agassiz quip after the earthquake.

Leander M. Hoskins, Mechanical Engineering - apparently not a founder, arrived in 1892 per faculty memorial page

Walter Miller (philologist), Stanford's first Latin professor, has a Wikipedia page which describes him as founder of the classics department but says he started in 1892.
Regarding his home at 2275 Amherst: "One of the finest examples of the period, it was the "handsome residence" of Walter Miller, who was a member of Stanford's original faculty. He taught Latin."
(No faculty memorial page exists for Miller.) He left Stanford in 1902 according to Wiki article.
Miller was the commencement speaker in 1898. Bibliophile suggests he published a book in 1891 identifying him as as Associate Professor at Stanford. Bibliophile is a forbidden link for Wikipedia.

George C. Price, Zoology - not a founder, joined the faculty in 1892.

Arly B. Show, history
"The professor, an elderly scholar and a member of the original faculty of 1891..." Per Stanford he was not a founder, came to the University 'in its second year'.

Professional schools:

Stanford Law School established in 1893, first professor was former president Benjamin Harrison.

Stanford School of Medicine 1908

Stanford University School of Education originally a department 1891, was made into a separate School in 1917
