CdaMVvWgS
CdaMVvWgS is the short name for a german club called Club der am Montag Vormittag vom Wahnsinn getriebenen Schüler (in English: Club of pupils who are crazy on Monday afternoon)

On the homepage (click here) you can get a free membership and lots of information about geography. And: you can download Poisoned for free! So, why you don't have a look at it? Only problem: it's all written in variated german (swiss german, variation of Basel)

Hello there CdaMVvWgS, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help visit How does one edit a page or how to format them visit our manual of style. Experiment at Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Naming conventions. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Help or add a question to the Village pump. If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

It might be a good idea to write a little bit more then just the definition of a term, as we already have quite a lot of these stubs. It did just finish to enlarge the articles of the districts of Nauru to a size which make them more worth to keep. If you write such short articles you should at least add the stub warning boilerplate. andy 22:42, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you left a message at Image talk:Raaflaub.jpg asking for it to be deleted. Please list it at Images for deletion if you still want it deleted. Perhaps you should wait until you understand these deletion processes a bit more before applying for adminship? Angela. 21:57, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)

Pronunciation of Basle
At http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=basle you will find that the older English pronunciation which corresponds to the older spelling is [ba:l] rather than [ba:sl] (which is what you wrote) or [ba:zl] which is the more modern English rendering corresponding to the endonymic spelling. --Akkolon 09:59, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

Nauru election
Thanks for your message. I got the figures for the last Nauru election from an American diplomat in Fiji who sent them to me. I don't know if I'll be able to contact him again. If you have any sources in Nauru please let me know. Adam 14:59, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I don't now recall his name or address, except that he was at the US Embassy in Fiji. Apparently they monitor elections in the Pacific. Adam 23:03, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I also know someone at the Australian National University who specialises in the Pacific and has sent me election statistics from Vanuatu in the past. I will ask him if he has any sources for Nauru. Adam 09:22, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

User:Belgian man - Nauru knowledge?
Yes, I have any knowledge about this pretty country (not so many as you of course), but I am very interested in Nauru, Kiribati, Palau, Tuvalu,, Italy, Belgium and Moldova. Belgian man 18:45, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

PS: Maybe have you seen my contributions at the German wiki (for link: go to my page), but I am not sure they are good ==> I speak German very bad...

Re Nauru elections, thanks very much, the results will be at my website soon. If you tell me your name I will of course credit you for supplying them to me. Adam 23:37, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Baseldytsch Wikipedia

 * For meta:Proposals for new projects, did you think to do something like :als:Baseldytsch:Baseldytsch :als:Baseldytsch:Basel :als:Baseldytsch:Schweiz ? (7 nov 2004)
 * Your Proposal is to language of Basle-Town or Basel-Land ? (7 nov 2004)
 * Answer to first dot: No. Best proposal should be bds.wikipedia.org. Reasons you will get there. Answer to second dot: My proposal is to language of Basel-Town (the language of Basel-Land is not as especially as the Baseldytsch to have any reasons for a own wikipedia, as the Baseldytsch does...) -- CdaMVvWgS 23:00, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The problem with Nauruan
The problem with the Nauruan wikipedia and wiktionary is, that MANY people have the feeling that it is not Nauruan but something else. One thing that is telling is that for the Nauruan word for Nauruan "Nauruose" only can be found on wikipedia.

The fact that you are from Switserland, does also not provide us with confidence that these sites have not been squatted. So plain and simple there is a need of some objective proof that the information on the na: wiktipedia and wiktionary IS in the Nauruan language.

Thanks, GerardM 18:43, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Maybe you should check Google.com and search for "nauruan dictionary", there you'll find a link to trussel.com which contains a big nauruan-english-german dictionary. Then you should have the proof for the correctness of the nauruan wikipedia/wiktionary contents. Greets -- CdaMVvWgS 22:56, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello, CdaMVvWgS. You have today asked a question on my User Talk Page. I did do half a dozen small anonymous edits in the Nauru WP (though some of my "edit summaries" hinted that it was me), using words that were already there (not trying to check them in any way). Then I decided to simplify things by signing up properly. I think everything I've done since then has had my name on it (and I know I've used no Maori words). I remember noting (after a dig through some page histories) that someone was abusively (and unconstructively) criticising the alleged use of non-Nauruan words. So I checked some of those "trussel" pages and created links to them, to make it easier for you and me and anyone else to do a quick check if in doubt. The "trussell" looks to me to be more reliable than the recent contributor who complains that everything is wrong but does not bother to fix any or to tell the rest of us what is wrong. We shall see if anyone responds to my request that the mistakes (if any) be fixed up. I've repeated, on na:User_talk:Belgian_man, what we all seem to agree about. Kind regards. (I don't remember seeing the Nauruan Wiktionary.) Robin Patterson 05:57, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Unverified images
Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

 * Image:Decagon.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License,  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 04:38, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

 * Thank you very much for your kindness! As a Swiss, I'm very proud to have in the Wikipedia a live photo with Bob Marley from his only concert he ever performed in Switzerland. Greetings -- CdaMVvWgS 20:01, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Translation from Norwegian
If it's not too long, I'd be happy to help you with the translation; and newspaper articles are rarely very long, so I'm sure it'll be fine. Leave me a message at my discussion page with a link to the article, or use «E-mail this user» if you have to send the article to me. Cnyborg 16:38, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello CdaMVvWgS, thank you for your voting.

If I understand correctly, you voted from English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia. As you know, every voter have only one vote by person. You can vote from anywhere you have over 400 edits, but you have to choose one project from which you would vote.

I stroke the older vote from German Wikipedia and left the latest one. If you would like to change your vote again, please vote from the wiki you have voted last time.

Your reply on my meta talk page will be appreciated.

Thank you!

Afternoon?
Hi, you write that CdaMVvWgS translates to "Club of pupils who are crazy on Monday afternoon", but Vormittag is really morning, isn't it? Or is this mistranslation just the result of your Wahnsinn? --128.139.226.37 19:45, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The club used to be called "...on Monday afternoon" but is now called "...on Monday morning", you're right. I'll correct it if I don't forget to do so... Thanks and greetings -- CdaMVvWgS 19:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Nauru images
Hi, I was hoping that you would be able to add some information on why the images you have on photobucket and that have subequently have been uploaded to the commons are PD. Are they yours or did you get permission to use them from someone? Thanks--nixie 05:11, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi there, all images in the Nauru section have permission to be used as PD. I got the permission a while ago by some kind users of www.nr (which unfortunately doesn't exist anymore). Greetings -- CdaMVvWgS 18:20, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Tennis walkover article
Hi! I'm not really familiar with the rules and formalities of tennis, but isn't "walkover" applied to a match which didn't even start. That is, when a player forfeits/withdraws even before he/she enters the court. For example, the case of Kutuzova against Clijsters in 2006 Wimbledon. In such a case, since the match didn't even start, then it is not counted as a loss for the player who withdrew, and a win for the other player. On the other hand, the one cited in the article is related more on retirement. That is, when the match has already started and a player cannot continue. It is not really addressed as a walkover, but a retirement. For example, when Henin-Hardenne retired in the Australian Open final. In such a case, since the match started, any win-loss record or head-to-head count is affected. What I'm asking is whether there is a conflict in the title of the article versus the definition found in it. --Joey80 07:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * To my knowledge it is also called "walkover" when a player cannot continue during the match. I've read this form many times in newspapers, for example "6:4, 2:6, 3:1 w.o.", when a player is ahead in the third set, but cannot continue due to injuries or whatever, as you said above. Likely it's also called "walkover" when a player withdraws before the match begins, but I don't know it that exactly... Greetings -- CdaMVvWgS 18:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Il Grande Rock
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Il Grande Rock, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Il Grande Rock.

Fair use rationale for Image:Lorne_Berfield_at_Masters_of_the_Maze.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lorne_Berfield_at_Masters_of_the_Maze.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 23:11, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:KKB-logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:KKB-logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Hey there...

I am going through a number of images that have some minor licensing issues. I came across Image:Aiwo.jpg which you uploaded. The licensing on this image is not complete as it was uploaded many years ago.

Image permission problem with Image:Aiwo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Aiwo.jpg I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ▫  Johnny Mr Nin ja  18:10, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Dabwido's birth date
Hi. Could you let me know how you found what Sprent Dabwido's birthdate is? And Freddie Pitcher's too, for that matter? Do you know people in Nauru, or know people who know them? I can't find any (online) source providing their birth dates. (The main reason why I ask is because I wrote the articles about them in the French Wikipedia, without birth dates because I couldn't find any source. Somebody then added them from the English Wikipedia, leading me to look and see who had first added them to the English Wiki.) If there's a verifiable source that can be referred to, that would be great; information about Nauru is fairly hard to come by! Thanks in advance. Aridd (talk) 23:16, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Ludwig Keke's partial term
Hello. I noticed you had a useful page which documented a lot of Nauruan parliamentary history. Thank you for making this. There is one question I had about it though: it says that in the 2nd parliament, Ludwig Keke served a partial term. I was digging through the government gazettes to find info about this, and I found the results of a by-election for the Yaren Constituency in 1972. Keke runs in this election, which does imply that he did indeed serve a partial term. Its weird that he would run however, considering he won a seat in the normal 1971 election, meaning he should have already had a seat in parliament. I wanted to ask you if you knew anything about why Keke seems to have lost his seat in the 2nd parliament and if you have any sources about it. I know this is kind of unlikely, but I would very much appreciate the help if you're able. RoundSquare (talk) 02:16, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Reflex

In biology, a reflex, or reflex action, is an involuntary, unplanned sequence or action and nearly instantaneous response to a stimulus. Reflexes are found with varying levels of complexity in organisms with a nervous system. A reflex occurs via neural pathways in the nervous system called reflex arcs. A stimulus initiates a neural signal, which is carried to a synapse. The signal is then transferred across the synapse to a motor neuron, which evokes a target response. These neural signals do not always travel to the brain, so many reflexes are an automatic response to a stimulus that does not receive or need conscious thought.

Many reflexes are fine-tuned to increase organism survival and self-defense. This is observed in reflexes such as the startle reflex, which provides an automatic response to an unexpected stimulus, and the feline righting reflex, which reorients a cat's body when falling to ensure safe landing. The simplest type of reflex, a short-latency reflex, has a single synapse, or junction, in the signaling pathway. Long-latency reflexes produce nerve signals that are transduced across multiple synapses before generating the reflex response.

Autonomic vs skeletal reflexes
Reflex is an anatomical concept and it refers to a loop consisting, in its simplest form, of a sensory nerve, the input, and a motor nerve, the output. Autonomic does not mean automatic. The term autonomic is an anatomical term and it refers to a type of nervous system in animals and humans that is very primitive. Skeletal or somatic are, similarly, anatomical terms that refer to a type of nervous system that is more recent in terms of evolutionary development. There are autonomic reflexes and skeletal, somatic reflexes.

Myotatic reflexes
The myotatic or muscle stretch reflexes (sometimes known as deep tendon reflexes) provide information on the integrity of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. This information can be detected using electromyography (EMG). Generally, decreased reflexes indicate a peripheral problem, and lively or exaggerated reflexes a central one. A stretch reflex is the contraction of a muscle in response to its lengthwise stretch.
 * Biceps reflex (C5, C6)
 * Brachioradialis reflex (C5, C6, C7)
 * Extensor digitorum reflex (C6, C7)
 * Triceps reflex (C6, C7, C8)
 * Patellar reflex or knee-jerk reflex (L2, L3, L4)
 * Ankle jerk reflex (Achilles reflex) (S1, S2)

While the reflexes above are stimulated mechanically, the term H-reflex refers to the analogous reflex stimulated electrically, and tonic vibration reflex for those stimulated to vibration.

Tendon reflex
A tendon reflex is the contraction of a muscle in response to striking its tendon. The Golgi tendon reflex is the inverse of a stretch reflex.

Reflexes usually only observed in human infants
Newborn babies have a number of other reflexes which are not seen in adults, referred to as primitive reflexes. These automatic reactions to stimuli enable infants to respond to the environment before any learning has taken place. They include:
 * Asymmetrical tonic neck reflex
 * Palmomental reflex
 * Moro reflex, also known as the startle reflex
 * Palmar grasp reflex
 * Rooting reflex
 * Sucking reflex
 * Symmetrical tonic neck reflex
 * Tonic labyrinthine reflex

Other kinds of reflexes
Other reflexes found in the central nervous system include: Many of these reflexes are quite complex, requiring a number of synapses in a number of different nuclei in the central nervous system (e.g., the escape reflex). Others of these involve just a couple of synapses to function (e.g., the withdrawal reflex). Processes such as breathing, digestion, and the maintenance of the heartbeat can also be regarded as reflex actions, according to some definitions of the term.
 * Abdominal reflexes (T6-L1)
 * Gastrocolic reflex
 * Anocutaneous reflex (S2-S4)
 * Baroreflex
 * Cough reflex
 * Cremasteric reflex (L1-L2)
 * Diving reflex
 * Lazarus sign
 * Muscular defense
 * Photic sneeze reflex
 * Scratch reflex
 * Sneeze
 * Startle reflex
 * Withdrawal reflex
 * Crossed extensor reflex

Grading
In medicine, reflexes are often used to assess the health of the nervous system. Doctors will typically grade the activity of a reflex on a scale from 0 to 4. While 2+ is considered normal, some healthy individuals are hypo-reflexive and register all reflexes at 1+, while others are hyper-reflexive and register all reflexes at 3+.

Depending on where you are, another way of grading is from –4 (absent) to +4 (clonus), where 0 is "normal".

Reflex modulation
Some might imagine that reflexes are immutable. In reality, however, most reflexes are flexible and can be substantially modified to match the requirements of the behavior in both vertebrates and invertebrates.

A good example of reflex modulation is the stretch reflex. When a muscle is stretched at rest, the stretch reflex leads to contraction of the muscle, thereby opposing stretch (resistance reflex). This helps to stabilize posture. During voluntary movements, however, the intensity (gain) of the reflex is reduced or its sign is even reversed. This prevents resistance reflexes from impeding movements.

The underlying sites and mechanisms of reflex modulation are not fully understood. There is evidence that the output of sensory neurons is directly modulated during behavior—for example, through presynaptic inhibition. The effect of sensory input upon motor neurons is also influenced by interneurons in the spinal cord or ventral nerve cord and by descending signals from the brain.

Other reflexes
Breathing can also be considered both involuntary and voluntary, since breath can be held through internal intercostal muscles.

History
The concept of reflexes dates back to the 17th century with René Descartes. Descartes introduced the idea in his work "Treatise on Man", published posthumously in 1664. He described how the body could perform actions automatically in response to external stimuli without conscious thought. Descartes used the analogy of a mechanical statue to explain how sensory input could trigger motor responses in a deterministic and automatic manner.

The term "reflex" was introduced in the 19th century by the English physiologist Marshall Hall, who is credited with formulating the concept of reflex action and explaining it scientifically. He introduced the term to describe involuntary movements triggered by external stimuli, which are mediated by the spinal cord and the nervous system, distinct from voluntary movements controlled by the brain. Hall's significant work on reflex function was detailed in his 1833 paper, "On the Reflex Function of the Medulla Oblongata and Medulla Spinalis," published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, where he provided a clear account of how reflex actions were mediated by the spinal cord, independent of the brain's conscious control, distinguishing them from other neural activities.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Yakov. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Yakov~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:58, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

One other thing, we usually start articles with a paragraph (i.e. not a section as the first thing) and bolden the title.

Shadwell DLR station

Shadwell is a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station in Shadwell in east London, England and is between the terminals of Bank and Tower Gateway to the west and Limehouse to the east. The 1991 Bank extension joins the main DLR line just to the west of Shadwell. It is located near Shadwell railway station for London Overground services, in Travelcard Zone 2.

History
This station opened on 31 August 1987 as part of the first tranche of DLR stations. It is located 50 yards to the west of an earlier station that was first called Shadwell and then renamed Shadwell & St. George's East, serving the slow lines of the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway that this section of the DLR replaced.

Initially designed for one-car DLR trains, Shadwell's platform was extended for two-car operation in 1991. The station was refurbished in 2009: the platforms were extended to accommodate three-car trains, the station entrance at ground level was altered, and an emergency exit was added at the east end of the platforms.

Location
The station stands on a viaduct and consists of a single island platform serving trains in both directions. The ticket machines and entrance are at ground level to the west of the island platforms, facing onto Watney Street. The station is usually unstaffed, like most stations on the DLR. There is a crossover west of the station which allows trains from Westferry, Bank or Tower Gateway to reverse here.

Connections
London Buses routes 100, 339 and D3 serve the station.

Services
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour from Shadwell is:
 * 6 tph to Tower Gateway
 * 18 tph to Bank
 * 6 tph to Beckton
 * 6 tph to Woolwich Arsenal
 * 12 tph to Lewisham via Canary Wharf

Additional services call at the station during the peak hours, increasing the total service to up to 30 tph in each direction.

Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester

Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester (born Birgitte Eva van Deurs Henriksen; 20 June 1946) is a Danish-born member of the British royal family. She is married to Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, a grandson of George V.

Early life and education
Birgitte was born Birgitte Eva van Deurs Henriksen, in Odense, Denmark, the younger daughter of Asger Preben Wissing Henriksen, a lawyer, and his wife, Vivian van Deurs. She was educated in Odense and at finishing schools in Lausanne and Cambridge. She took her mother's ancestral name van Deurs on 15 January 1966, after her parents' separation. After completing a three-year course in Commercial and Economic Studies in Copenhagen, she moved back to the United Kingdom in 1971 to work as a secretary at the Royal Danish Embassy in London.

Marriage and family
Van Deurs Henriksen first met Prince Richard of Gloucester, the younger son of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, in the late 1960s in Cambridge, where he attended university. In February 1972, their engagement was announced. They married on 8 July 1972 at St Andrew's Church, Barnwell, Northamptonshire. The bride's wedding dress was designed by Norman Hartnell. It was constructed of Swiss organdie, with a high collar, a simple skirt, long sleeves and a small train. Instead of wearing a tiara, she wore stephanotis flowers on her hair which secured the veil. Upon marriage, she assumed the style Her Royal Highness Princess Richard of Gloucester.

Six weeks after their wedding, Prince Richard's elder brother, Prince William of Gloucester, was killed in a flying accident. Prince Richard unexpectedly became heir apparent to the dukedom and upon his father's death in 1974, the couple became the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

The couple have three children: Alexander (born 1974), Davina (born 1977), and Rose (born 1980). They were born at St Mary's Hospital, London. The Duke and Duchess officially reside at Kensington Palace.

Activities

The Duchess of Gloucester has accompanied the Duke of Gloucester on his official visits overseas: her first visit was in 1973, when they represented the Queen at the 70th birthday celebrations of King Olav V of Norway. Other joint visits have included Australia, Belgium, China, Denmark, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Luxembourg, Nepal, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Tonga, Tunisia and the United States. Birgitte has also travelled overseas in support of her own patronages and military units, including a visit to Iraq in December 2008.

She and her husband represented the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at the state funeral of King Tāufaāhau Tupou IV of Tonga on 19 September 2006. They also represented the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at the coronation of King George Tupou V of Tonga on 1 August 2008 in Nukuʻalofa.

Birgitte is sponsor of two Royal Navy ships: HMS Gloucester (D96) and HMS Sandown (M101). She is also the royal patron of the Bermuda Regiment. She is patron of SeeAbility, a charity for people with learning disabilities and sight loss; The Lullaby Trust, a baby charity aiming to prevent unexpected deaths in infancy and promote infant health; and Music in Hospitals & Care. She regularly attends functions at schools of which she is president or patron: St Paul's Cathedral School; the Friends of St Paul's Cathedral; the Cathedral Music Trust; St John's School, Leatherhead; Bridewell Royal Hospital (King Edward's School, Witley); the Royal Alexandra and Albert School; the Children's Society; Parkinson's UK; Hope for Youth Northern Ireland; Scottish Opera; Lawn Tennis Association; the Royal School of Needlework; Turn2us; Missing People; and Princess Helena College.
