Radio Emergency Associated Communication Teams

REACT (Radio Emergency Associated Communication Teams) is a CB radio Emergency Channel 9 monitoring organizations across the United States, Canada and worldwide, established in 1962. The primary role of REACT volunteers was to stand and watch on CB Emergency Channel 9 to help motorists. Later, duties grew to include radio communications after disasters (e.g., tornadoes and floods), and before disasters (storm spotting). REACT safety communications for parades, runs/walks, and other community events also became prominent. REACT Teams have added amateur, FRS, GMRS, Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS), Trunked radio systems, and business band radio (LMR) to their public service capabilities.

Services provided
Each REACT Team functions within a limited locale.

Many REACT Teams utilize their radio communications to provide services such as parking control, search and rescue support, assistance with large public events, safety breaks along highways, and support of local emergency management offices and law enforcement. Some Teams participate in the Skywarn program of storm spotters. All of these roles require the radio communications that REACT Teams offer.

Objectives

 * (a) To develop the use of personal radio services as an additional source of communications for emergencies, disasters, and as an emergency aid to individuals;
 * (b) To establish 24-hour volunteer monitoring of emergency calls, particularly over officially designated emergency frequencies, from personal radio service operators, and report such calls to appropriate emergency authorities;
 * (c) To promote transportation safety by developing programs that provide information and communications assistance to motorists;
 * (d) To coordinate efforts with, and provide communications support to, other groups, (e.g., Red Cross, Emergency Management, local, state, and federal authorities,) during emergencies and disasters;
 * (e) To develop, administer, and promote public information projects demonstrating and publicizing the potential benefits and the proper use of the personal radio service to individuals, organizations, industry, and government;
 * (f) To participate in citizen crime prevention programs were established by law enforcement agencies.

Coco/R

Coco/R is a compiler generator that takes wirth syntax notation grammars of a source language and generates a scanner and a parser for that language.

The scanner works as a deterministic finite automaton. It supports Unicode characters in UTF-8 encoding and can be made case-sensitive or case-insensitive. It can also recognize tokens based on their right-hand-side context. In addition to terminal symbols the scanner can also recognize pragmas, which are tokens that are not part of the syntax but can occur anywhere in the input stream (e.g. compiler directives or end-of-line characters).

The parser uses recursive descent; LL(1) conflicts can be resolved by either a multi-symbol lookahead or by semantic checks. Thus the class of accepted grammars is LL(k) for an arbitrary k. Fuzzy parsing is supported by so-called ANY symbols that match complementary sets of tokens. Semantic actions are written in the same language as the generated scanner and parser. The parser's error handling can be tuned by specifying synchronization points and "weak symbols" in the grammar. Coco/R checks the grammar for completeness, consistency, non-redundancy as well as for LL(1) conflicts.

There are versions of Coco/R for Java, C#, C++, Pascal, Modula-2, Modula-3, Delphi, VB.NET, Python, Ruby and other programming languages. The latest versions from the University of Linz are those for C#, Java and C++. For the Java version, there is an Eclipse plug-in and for C#, a Visual Studio plug-in. There are also sample grammars for Java and C#.

Coco/R was originally developed at the ETHZ and moved with Hanspeter Mössenböck to University of Linz when he got his appointment there. Coco/R is distributed under the terms of a slightly relaxed GNU General Public License.

Peder Kolstad

Peder Ludvik Kolstad (28 November 1878 – 5 March 1932) was a Norwegian politician from the Agrarian Party. He was the 19th prime minister of Norway from 1931 until his death in 1932.

Early life and education
Born to a farmer's family in Borge, now part of Fredrikstad in Østfold county he got a degree from Kalnes school of agriculture in 1899 and a degree from the Agricultural University of Norway at Ås, Akershus county in 1902. He subsequently worked as teachers at agricultural schools in Asker, Akershus county and Nedenes, Aust-Agder county. Returning to Østfold and Kalnes school of agriculture in 1905, he became principal at the school in 1912.

Early political and organizational career
In Østfold, Kolstad became engaged in organisational work related to agriculture. He served as leader of the Tune chapter of the Norwegian Agrarian Association, became leader of the Østfold county chapter and member of the national board of the organisation. He also sat on the board of the agricultural cooperative Felleskjøpet.

In the period from 1919 to 1922, he was part of the herredsstyre (selective body of the municipal council) in Tune. He was a member of the municipal council until 1928 and leader of the Østfold chapter of the Farmer's Party for several years in the 1920s.

At the Agrarian Association's congress in Kristiansand in 1920, he played an important role in the process that led to the decision that the organization should nominate its own list in the 1921 Norwegian parliamentary election, leading to the establishment of the Farmer's Party.

In the 1921 Norwegian parliamentary election, Kolstad topped the list for the Farmers' Party in Østfold and was elected to the Parliament of Norway and subsequently re-elected in all elections until his death. He served in the Standing Committee on Finance in all his parliamentary career, becoming head of the committee in 1928. He served as secretary for the Farmers' Party's parliamentary group in all his years in Parliament and was elected President of the Odelsting in 1931. In this period, he also headed the Østfold chapter of the Farmer's Party for several years.

As finance politician, Kolstad like his party argued for austerity, in particular he wanted to reduce public administration He led the majority in the Farmer's Party that supported the Liberal Mowinckel's Cabinet's decision to return the Norwegian krone to the gold standard in 1928 after convertibility had been suspended after World War I.

As prime minister
Mowinckel's Cabinet's decision to grant the Anglo-Dutch company Unilever Concession to acquire half the shares in the Norwegian company Lilleborg caused a political crisis in 1931, leading to the resignation of the cabinet and the formation of the first cabinet from the Farmer's Party.

The Farmers' Party had only 25 of the 150 seats in the Parliament; the weakest foundation for a cabinet in Norway to that date. The cabinet would seek support in the parliament from the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. The party chose Kolstad as prime minister instead of the party leader Jens Hundseid to a large degree because he was seen as being moderate and better at cooperating with other parties and politicians than Hundseid. The party also saw it as an advantage that he was well versed in financial policies.

Formation of the cabinet
Never having been in government before, the party lacked experienced persons for the ministerial positions. The Cabinet had 10 members. Kolstad took the position of Minister of Finance in addition to being prime minister. He set as an ultimatum that Jon Sundby should take the position as Minister of Agriculture; Sundby himself originally wanted to stay in the Parliament as leader of the Standing Committee on Agriculture. A controversial choice was major Vidkun Quisling as Minister of Defence. Quisling had not been involved in party politics and Sundby did not personally know him. Kolstad stated that Quisling's knowledge about Russia as demonstrated in his writings would be useful for the cabinet.

The Lilleborg case
The Mowincel Cabinet had granted the Norwegian company Lilleborg concession to buy De-No-Fa's oil mill in Fredrikstad and at the same time given concession for De-No-Fa, which was 50% owned by the Dutch company Unilever, to acquire half the shared in Lilleborg. This would give Unilever control over Lilleborg. While the Farmer's party opposed the concession as they wanted to protect Norwegian ownership of industry and it led to the fall of the Mowinkel Cabinet, Kolstad's Cabinet found it impossible to revoke the concession. De-No-Fa stated the mill would have to close without a concession and at the same time De-No-Fa and Unilever had negotiated a new contract which would give Unilever control over Lilleborg even without a concession. On 10 July 1931, the Kolstad cabinet confirmed the concession that the Mowinckel's Cabinet had already given.

Eastern Greenland dispute
On 26 May 1923, the newly established Det Norske Ishavsråd (English: The Norwegian Arctic Council) published a proposal to that Norway should claim sovereignty over part of the area near Scoresbysund. Norwegian whalers and trappers stayed in the area. The Farmer's Party had a post in their program that Norway should assert historical rights in Greenland and whaling interest in the Arctic Oceans. Nevertheless, Kolstad was initially negative to the proposal.

In June the same year, the cabinet got a telegram from Hallvard Devold who led a Norwegian expedition in Greenland which stated that Norwegians had occupied Myggbukta and declared the nearby area for Norwegian territory, calling it Erik the Red's Land. After multiple cabinet discussions, the cabinet issued a royal declaration on 10 July 1931 where Eastern Greenland was claimed as Norwegian territory. The decision was met with condemnation from the Labour Party. Denmark contested the claim and brought the case to the International Court of Justice where they won in 1933.

The Menstad conflict
When Kolstad formed the cabinet in May 1931, the industry in Norway had been marked by strikes and lock-out since March. In Menstad near Porsgrunn, Norsk Hydro hired temporary workers to unload a number of ships. The union considered those workers to be strikebreakers. The cabinet sent 120 police officers to protect the workers. After the police officers were attacked by stones and sticks on 8 June, the cabinet sent military forces to the place – soldiers and four vessels – which calmed the situation. Although Quisling was not prominent in making the decision, as Minister of Defence the non-socialist parties gave him most of the credit while he became considered an enemy by the labour movement.

Economic and agricultural policies
To support Norwegian farmers, the cabinet proposed that all margarine sold in Norway should contain a certain percentage of butter. This was legalized in the Parliament in June 1923. The cabinet also proposed to increase the subsidies to farmers that produced corn. The Liberal Party initially opposed the increase, but after Kolstad threatened to resign over the issue a compromise was reached.

Following the United Kingdom's decision to leave the gold standard in September 1923, the Kolstad cabinet decided to abandon the standard the same month. At the same time, the cabinet devaluated the Norwegian krone which sank more than most other currencies in Europe, which helped the Norwegian export.

In December 1923, Kolstad was informed that the large banks Bergens Privatbank and Den norske Creditbank were in grave financial troubles. The cabinet and a majority in the Parliament backed a plan by the Norwegian Central Bank to help the bank with liquidity, but Kolstad blamed the Central Bank for not having addressed the problem at an earlier stage and argued in favour of more political influence over the Central Bank.

Health problems and death
Kolstad suffered various health problems during his time as prime minister and was hospitalised in January 1932. He died of a blood clot on 5 March 1932. Jens Hundseid became prime minister for a new Farmers' party government on 14 March.

Personal life and legacy
Kolstad married Ingrid Mathiesen, daughter of an industrialist, in 1905. He was post mortem father-in-law to Liberal politician and women rights activist Eva Kolstad and the grandfather to film critic Harald Kolstad.

He was interred at Tune churchyard. A road in Sarpsborg is named after him.

In the book Norsk statsministre (English: Norwegian prime ministers) from 2010 edited by Gudleiv Forr and Per Egil Hegge, historians rated Kolstad as one of Norway's weakest prime ministers with a grade of 2 on a scale from 1 to 6. The historians put weight on how long the person served as prime minister in their evaluation.

Aikō District (愛甲郡) is a district located in central Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It currently consists of only one town, Aikawa, and one village, Kiyokawa. The city of Atsugi was formerly part of Aikō District.

Towns and villages

 * Aikawa
 * Kiyokawa

History
Aikō District was one of the ancient subdivisions of Sagami Province, extending from central Sagami north to the border of Musashi Province between the Sagami River and the Tanzawa Mountains. The district offices were located in what is now part of Atsugi. The area was part of a vast shōen controlled by the Ōe clan, and their descendants, the Mōri clan of Chōshū from the Heian period through the Sengoku period. It later became a contested area between the later Hōjō clan of Odawara and the Takeda clan of Kai. In the Edo period, it was nominally part of Odawara Domain, although large portions were tenryō territory controlled by the shōgun in Edo through various hatamoto. From 1706, a branch of the Ōkubo clan in Odawara was permitted to establish the Ogino-Yamanaka Domain on a portion of the district. Other portions of the district came under control of Karasuyama Domain of Shimōsa Province.

With the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Ogino-Yamanaka Domain came under the control of Shizuoka Domain, while remaining territories became part of the new Kanagawa Prefecture. With the abolition of the han system in 1871, former Ogino-Yamanaka Domain became Ogino-Yamanaka Prefecture, and subsequently part of the short-lived Ashigaru Prefecture. It merged with Kanagawa Prefecture in 1876.

Timeline

 * The new Aikō and Tsukui Districts were established in 1878.
 * In 1889, Aikō District was administratively divided into the following municipalities:
 * one town (Atsugi)
 * 16 villages (Koayu, Tamagawa, Nanmori, Mita, Tanasawa, Shimokawairi, Tsumada, Oikawa, Hayashi, Echi, Ogino, Aikawa, Takamine, Nakatsu, Susugaya and Miyagase)
 * In 1940, Aikawa Village was elevated to town status.
 * In 1946, Mutsuai Village was created through the merger of six villages (Mita, Tanasawa, Shimokawairi, Tsumada, Oikawa and Hayashi).
 * In 1955:

Glenbrook North High School

Glenbrook North High School (also known as GBN) is a public high school in Northbrook, Illinois, a north suburb of Chicago, United States. It was established in 1953 and is part of the Northfield Township High School District 225.

In 2022, it was ranked the 48th-best public high school in the United States by Niche.

Feeder schools that attend GBN are Wood Oaks, Northbrook Junior High, Field (Northbrook portions), and Maple (Northbrook portions). GBN Serves Most of Northbrook, some unincorporated portions of Cook County, and a small section of Glenview.

History

In 1930, Northbrook opened Northbrook High School to serve its residents. But as Northbrook grew due to American suburbanization, more space to accommodate students was needed, warranting its closure and the construction of a new high school.

Founding
Glenbrook North High School opened its doors in the fall of 1953 as Glenbrook High School, with its name being a combination of "Northbrook" and "Glenview". After the opening of Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, the school was renamed to Glenbrook North. Subsequently, the two schools formed Glenbrook High School District 225.

Glenbrook North has grown fourfold in the size of its student body since its founding. In 1979, the school opened the Sheely Center for the Performing Arts, and in 1990, a fieldhouse was dedicated. In the spring of 1996, a three-year renovation and construction project involving the science facilities and the "A" wing was built. A second swimming pool was built in 2000 to accommodate the burgeoning growth in aquatics. A successful referendum in 2006 enabled the creation of the two-story classroom "F" wing, state of the art Fitness Center, complete renovation and additions to the Music Area, and a sun-filled main entrance, which were completed in 2009.

Throughout the years, Glenbrook North High School has received state and national recognition for its academic excellence. In the late 1950s, when Glenbrook was less than 10 years old, it was named one of the top 44 high schools in the country by a survey in a national magazine. In 1984, GBN was named one of only four high schools in the state of Illinois to receive the United States Office of Education Excellence in Education Award from President Ronald Reagan. In 2008, GBN was selected again for the nation's top distinction as a Blue Ribbon School.

John Hughes films
John Hughes was an alumnus who used exteriors of the school in his film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Hughes also used other schools throughout the north Chicago suburbs for his "Shermer, Illinois" locations.

President Clinton visit
On January 22, 1997, President Bill Clinton visited the school to deliver a speech about education initiatives. It was held in the school's fieldhouse and largely centered around mathematics and science. At the time, students in Northern Illinois were participating in a program called "First in the World." The program was to judge the level of knowledge in math and science against other schools around the world. Northern Illinois students scored 1st in the Science category and 3rd in the Mathematics category. Remarking about Glenbrook High School District 225, President Clinton said:

"Can you imagine a school district or a set of school districts with more genuine local control than this one, with—more than these— more parental involvement, more committed teachers, more—you know, you've got local control. But you didn't use it as an excuse not to throw your hat in the ring. I think it's great that it came out this way. But if you had finished eighth and ninth, I would still be here to pat you on the back because you had the guts to do it."

Less than a month later, Bill Clinton referenced his visit to the school and these achievements in his 1997 State of the Union on February 4, 1997.

Student hazing incident
In May 2003, the school gained notoriety after an off-campus, non-school-sanctioned event involving students dressed in school colors turned into a major hazing incident that attracted national media attention. The event was a "Powder Puff" girls' football game between members of the junior and senior classes. The "game" took place on May 4, 2003, in Chipilly Woods, part of the Cook County Forest Preserve District. Although the annual Powder Puff game had been held at the school's football stadium in earlier decades, there was no football at the 2003 event. During the event, about 20 junior class participants were covered in paint, urine, feces, and animal guts. Some were shot with paintball guns, others were kicked and beaten. At least five participants sustained injuries requiring medical attention.

Thirty-one students – twenty-eight females and three males – were suspended from school for 10 days. They were later expelled. Some of the expelled students and their parents filed a lawsuit to allow the expelled students to graduate. The plaintiffs and the school district reached an agreement where the expelled students would have their diplomas mailed to them but would not be able to participate in graduation ceremonies. Local law enforcement authorities investigated the hazing incident and filed charges against 15 students for assault and battery. Two mothers were charged with providing alcohol for the event. All were convicted and the sentences received were light, ranging from probation to community service.

A community-wide task force was established by the Northbrook Police Department Community Services Division after the hazing incident. Their final report stressed the needs for recognizing and preventing hazing incidents.

Campus
Glenbrook North is located at 2300 Shermer Road adjacent to Maple School. Glenbrook North is home to the Forrest S. Sheely Center for the Performing Arts (where the Northbrook Symphony performs) and has an additional "little theater". Within the athletics wing exists multiple pools, several gyms including a climbing and gymnastics gym, a fieldhouse, a fitness center, and outdoor tennis courts, fields (including for football), and tracks. There are two cafeterias; one for students and one for staff. Weather permitting, the central courtyard is open during lunch. At the back of the property is a 1.5 acre prairie.

Diversity
For the 2021 school year, 71.4% of students were White, 0.5% were Black, 5.4% were Hispanic, 17.9% were Asian, 0% were Native American, 0.1% were Pacific Islander, and 4.8% were of two or more races. The school also has a large Jewish population.

The school offers a variety of programs catering to students' heritage. For example, its language program includes less commonly taught languages such as Russian and Mandarin Chinese. Owing to the North Shore (Chicago)'s large Jewish population (see History of the Jews in Chicago), Hebrew was introduced in 2010 and Jewish Club was created. Other culture-focused clubs are Black Student Union, Foreign Films Club, Hellenic Club, and Pan-Asian Student Society. Gender Sexuality Alliance (GSA) serves Glenbrook North's LGBT population. There is also a feminist club.

Academics
The academic school year consists of 37 weeks divided into two semesters. It has a block schedule with classes meeting on alternating days and each school day consists of four blocks of 90 minutes each. The summer school program is six weeks in length.

Honors level courses are offered to qualified students. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are available in a range of topics including English, history, math, science, art, music, computer science, and world languages.

In 2021, the school graduated 96% of its senior class, and 98% enrolled in college. The 2021 class included 14 National Merit Semifinalists and 176 Illinois State Scholars. The student-to-teacher ratio is 11.54 to 1.

In 2022, it was ranked the 48th best public high school in the United States by Niche. In 2016, it was ranked 23rd on the public high schools with the best teachers in America by Business Insider.

Debate
The school's debate team was ranked the top debate school of the 20th century based on performance in the National Speech and Debate Association. The school has won numerous state and national championships in Policy Debate, as well as state championships in Lincoln-Douglas and Public Forum Debate. It is the only high school debate program in the country to have ever won the debate's "Triple Crown," sweeping the National Speech and Debate Association Tournament, the Tournament of Champions, and the Grand National Speech and Debate Tournament in 2004.

Since 1974, it has won at least one national championship in debate in fourteen individual years. It has also won an Illinois High School Association (IHSA) state championship in 18 of the 35 years since 1982, and has placed as runner up in three of those years.

Athletics
Glenbrook North offers many sports including, but not limited to baseball, basketball, bowling, cheerleading, cross-country, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track, and volleyball. The school is a member of the Central Suburban League North and the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). William Lutz Stadium, which is the home of the Glenbrook North's football, lacrosse, track and field and soccer teams, is named in honor of William Lutz, the school's first athletic director.

In 2005, the school became the first large-enrollment high school in Illinois to have won a state championship in each of football, basketball and baseball. The following GBN teams have won IHSA sponsored state championship tournaments in the listed years:

 * Baseball (2): 1966, 1974
 * Basketball (boys) (1): 2005
 * Football (1): 1974
 * Golf (boys) (1): 2021
 * Hockey (5): 1984, 1985, 2007, 2008, 2015
 * Soccer (boys) (1): 1983
 * Swimming and diving (girls) (1): 1978
 * Tennis (boys) (3): 1981, 1999, 2006
 * Volleyball (boys) (2): 1993, 2021
 * Field hockey (girls) (1): 2023

Basketball
On December 28, 2005, the school's basketball program gained national media attention when Jon Scheyer scored 21 points in the final 75 seconds of a comeback attempt against Proviso West. Scheyer fell one point short of the Glenbrook North basketball record for most points in a game, scoring 52 points.

Hockey
Glenbrook North Hockey, a club team, won back-to-back state titles in 1984 and 1985, becoming the first varsity hockey team in Illinois to do so, and repeating the feat in 2007 and 2008. In 2011, 2013, and 2014, the team returned to the title game but lost to the New Trier Trevians. In 2015, it defeated Benet Academy in the state title game in overtime, 3–2. The Spartans hockey program has won five Illinois state championships.

Clubs
Glenbrook North is home to many different extracurricular clubs. An accurate, up-to-date list is difficult to keep, as clubs are added and dropped as students graduate or lose interest. However, some clubs include Key Club, Scholastic Bowl, World Languages Honor Society, Environmental Club, Student Government Association, Open Forum, PAWS (Protection of Animal Welfare by Students), and Spartan Buddies (an affiliate of Best Buddies International).

Tsukui District, Kanagawa

Tsukui District (津久井郡) was a district located in the far northwestern corner of Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

From 2007 it merged into the city of Sagamihara. Prior to its merger it consisted of four towns (Shiroyama, Tsukui, Sagamiko, Fujino), with a total area of 238.44 square kilometers and a population of 72,871. The district was located in the Tanzawa Mountains.

History
Tsukui District was regarded as a portion of Aikō District until the Meiji period, although as a regional name, “Tsukui” appears in Kamakura period and Sengoku period documents. During the Edo period, the area was largely tenryō territory controlled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo, although ruled as a patchwork of small fiefs held by various hatamoto, except for the brief period from 1663 to 1684, when the entire district was ruled by Sekiyado Domain. A portion of the district was also controlled by Odawara Domain.

After the Meiji restoration, the Shogunal and hatamoto holdings became part of the short-lived Nirayama Prefecture, which merged with Kanagawa Prefecture in 1869. The Odawara-ruled portion became part of the equally short-lived Odawara Prefecture, which merged into Ashigaru Prefecture in 1871, and then into Kanagawa Prefecture in 1876.

In 1889, Tsukui District was organized into one town, 21 villages and 2 post stations.

Towns and villages
Prior to its abolition, Tsukui District consisted of two towns:

 * Fujino
 * Shiroyama

Mergers

 * On March 20, 2006 the towns of Sagamiko and Tsukui were merged into Sagamihara.
 * On March 11, 2007 the towns of Fujino and Shiroyama were merged into Sagamihara.

Merger problems

 * On February 19, 2006, the current mayor of Shiroyama was recalled for denying to join Sagamiko, Tsukui, and Fujino (scheduled to be merged with Sagamihara in the future) to merged into Sagamihara. Tsukui District failed to dissolve as a result of this recall election.
 * The official dissolved date of this district was March 11, 2007, when Shiroyama and Fujino were merged into Sagamihara.

I wonder if the inspiration for the animation aspect of Stewie's character is worth a adding to the Inspriations heading of this article.

Bertram Griffin
I excised a sentence from the opening that I could not make sense of (here's the diff.

"In addition to siblings Chris and Meg, Stewie has a half-brother Bertram who is unknown to the other Griffins." (given ref) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/04/AR2006020400220_pf.html

also refs the episode Emission Impossible.

My problem was that the Washington post link was dead, the link to Bertram only goes to a list of family guy characters (where Bertram is NOT mentioned) and the Emission Impossible only makes reference to a single sperm which is not a half-brother by any definition I'm aware of. Feel free to clarify and reinsert the sentence however. Manning (talk) 10:06, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * That is a good edit on your part. We try not to have very minor characters listed, as it leads to a lot of trouble with IPs  C T J F 8 3 Talk 17:03, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Aside from Emission Impossible, Bertram appears in two additional episodes: Sibling Rivalry and The Big Bang Theory. He has definitely become a recognizable recurring character that has his own paraphernalia (separately as well as with Stewie) and was also included in the video game. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 03:34, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * BRD'd. He's a minor, 3-gag, bit character and doesn't belong in the infobox.  Merchandise existing doesn't necessarily equate to notability in the series.   DP 76764  (Talk) 04:14, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree with DP, very minor, infobox mention gives him WP:UNDUE weight. C T J F 8 3  11:31, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Then what does, DP76764? Besides, the old consensus was before the character developed from being a one time sperm to an actual baby and a recurring character, and if I'm not mistaken, consensus can change. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 17:17, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed it can, but 2 additional appearances (for a grand total of 3) don't encourage me to change my opinion that this character is too trivial for the infobox. Perhaps a mention in the body of the article, at most.  Regardless, the "relation" to the family is merely genetic.  DP 76764  (Talk) 21:32, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * So what is a family relation if not genetic? Bertram is Peter's son, he appears several times and his fights with Stewie are always the central episode theme. He has an action figure and a keychain, and he is also included in the videogame. Finally, we should focus on his relationship with Stewie (since the article is about Stewie) rather than the family (a discussion which would be relevant had we been editing the Griffin family article). Please tell me (because I honestly don't see it) how this still does not merit a short mention in the infobox. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 19:49, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * There's more to 'family' than mere genetics. Putting cruft like this in the infobox is just going to encourage people to add more cruft: Stewie's 'wife', Meg's real dad, Peter Griffin Jr, Quagmire's plethora of children, etc.  I would suggest keeping mention of him to the body of the article.  Yes, he's been the subject of a couple of episodes, but none of them have had a lasting or meaningful impact on the characters or series.  Please keep in mind that these articles should be written from a 'real world' perspective, and not an 'in-universe' one.  DP 76764  (Talk) 20:30, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * While I agree with DP, I also see Hear's side. If Bertram isn't listed appearing in 3 episodes, why do we have Mickey McFinnigan as Peter's real dad who appeared in half of one episode? He is no more notable/important than Bertram.
 * I also don't think many people would argue for the inclusion of Peter Jr. or those other examples, as none of those were more than a few second joke. I think I could be swayed to include Bertram, or remove Francis Mickey. C T J F 8 3  11:00, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
 * To DP – I already raised two valid real world points: paraphernalia for sale and inclusion in another media (video game). You, on the other hand, are trying to find in-universe impact on characters.
 * To CTJF – there is no need to go as far as removing Francis. After all, he was the known father figure for over 4 seasons, made a direct impact on some of Peter's character traits (and on the rest of the family as well), and even appeared in several flashbacks after his death, thus confirming character popularity. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 18:58, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

oops I meant remove Mickey not Francis C T J F 8 3  21:54, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
 * "a meaningful impact on characters or the series" is hardly an 'in-universe' mindset. Getting back to the point, it seems like the relatives and family sections are a bit of a mess in several of these articles.  So what do we do?  Add more detail or trim stuff out?  It would be nice to establish a standard (if there isn't already one in an MOS or something).  DP 76764  (Talk) 22:14, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Less is better in my opinion. The infobox should provide a quick glance at only the most important info. C T J F 8 3  23:50, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Bertram is a recurring sibling, and Mickey is Peter's biological father that is further mentioned in several other episodes. Both should be included, and it is not terribly cluttering the infoboxes. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 17:18, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Just being mentioned isn't notable. C T J F 8 3  10:32, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * We've digressed quite a bit, can we agree that the Bertram consensus is now in favor of inclusion? Hearfourmewesique (talk) 18:32, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Seriously? How'd you come to that conclusion? Being that DP and I oppose it, and you're the only one in favor. C T J F 8 3  02:12, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I would not say that consensus has changed on this yet. We can open it up for additional comments if everyone would like?  DP 76764  (Talk) 03:14, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a post first at WT:FG so people more familiar with the show can weigh in, and if that doesn't work then we can try WP:RFC C T J F 8 3  03:41, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Really, CTJF? I vaguely recall you saying you could be swayed to include Bertram... Why the tiring noticeboard chase? Hearfourmewesique (talk) 12:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * still takes more then 2 people for a consensus C T J F 8 3  17:14, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * A consensus is a reflection of the pros and cons of a discussion between two or more people, and we seem to have come to the agreement that there is much more weight to Bertram than the last time a consensus was reached, therefore he meets the criteria for infobox inclusion. There is no real limitation on the number of editors required to form a consensus. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 19:48, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * From WP:CONSENSUS "Consensus is determined by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy.". I also don't think WP:DEMOCRACY says what you're suggesting it says; it merely says that voting is not the primary arbiter on determining consensus.  DP 76764  (Talk) 00:27, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Category Discussion 2
Some users think Stewie should have the category, Category:Fictional LGBT characters, I do not. I think we should wait until the character actually comes out in the show. There is a previous consensus to not list it. Other thoughts?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 03:06, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The consensus was at a stand-still; you make it sound like everyone decided not to have the category.
 * And that was before creator Seth MacFarlane's latest comments. --DrBat (talk) 05:33, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What's the problem with waiting until he comes out on the show?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 06:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Dumbledore never officially came out in the Harry Potter books, though Rowling said he was gay. Do you want to remove his category too? DrBat (talk) 07:56, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Because waiting until he comes out in the show is a pointless expectation. In real life, yes, we wait until someone comes out even when it's painfully obvious because of libel laws. With a fictional character who we know is gay both from the creator's explicit say-so and Stewie's behaviour in the show, this does not apply. There is also the possibility he may never come out in the show, after all, that's part of the humour. That's not to say that all closeted gay men or gay characters who don't make a very special announcement are therefore also not gay. What we have is a character who is objectively and undeniably an LGBT character but for whom there is resistance to include in the category.~ZytheTalk to me! 10:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Latest comments from Macfarlane are nothing he hasn't said before: "Ultimately, Stewie will be gay or a very unhappy repressed heterosexual." That puts Stewie still in sexuality limbo and so we can't categorize him as LGBT.  Yet.--Louiedog (talk) 12:47, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't believe "coming out" in-show is a necessary threshold. From the Advocate inteview (now annoyingly offline), and even the later quote Loodog chooses (also quoted in The Advocate), I think there is now sufficient real-world support for this categorization, which is otherwise obvious from Stewie's normal depiction in the show. / edg ☺ ☭ 14:51, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The Advocate article can be found here. --DrBat (talk) 15:44, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks DrBat. I'd fix this in the article, but (I've just learned) it is protected. Uncool, edit warring. / edg ☺ ☭ 23:00, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If you can provide a source for Macfarlane explicitly outing him, as opposed to just saying, "we don't know if he's gay yet", then I'd agree.--Louiedog (talk) 15:19, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Which we don't have. We have "We all feel that Stewie is almost certainly gay" and "Stewie will be gay or a very unhappy repressed heterosexual." Neither says Stewie is gay now. I'd be more inclined to agree with using the category if we threw a Q on the end for Queer/Questioning.  C T J F 8 3 Talk 16:09, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

However, MacFarlane's comment in Playboy says Stewie is for all intents a closeted gay male; this is consistent with his previous comments saying the writers usually treat the character as if he is gay, that MacFarlane is 90% certain Stewie is gay, and that two storylines were considered outing Stewie. And all of this real-world information is consistent with Stewie's behavior on the show for years now. / edg ☺ ☭ 23:00, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The only argument I can see for including him is Seth's latest comments, which at the least supports that Stewie is if not gay, then the 'B' in LGBT. I don't think he needs to come out in the show.  I think this is a gray area, but I would be comfortable landing on the "include" side. -- >David  Shankbone  18:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * For the third time, his remarks are nothing new. We've had the exact same discussion with Macfarlane having said virtually the same thing before.  He simply is not gay.  Yet.  Give it a couple seasons and they'll probably start giving him boyfriends and so forth.--Louiedog (talk) 22:11, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * One time was enough. I don't care that it's "nothing new", and there is no "yet". I'm coming from the perspective that if Stewie is gay in next week's episode, that doesn't make him gay in previous episodes. The writers cannot alter already-existing episodes to change him from "not-gay" to "gay".
 * First item: a moment of deprecation for the fact that we actually care enough to argue this much over it/entertain ourselves with inane arguments on wikipedia talk pages.
 * Now, let me contradict myself by proceeding to care too much: The quote is, Ultimately Stewie will either be gay or be a very unhappy repressed heterosexual. So let's take this in enumerated points:
 * 1. If you grant that Stewie being gay next episode means he's not gay now, then he's not. And he won't be until there's an episode of him having a moment and saying to himself, "I realize what it means now - I prefer to have sex with men!"

 * 2. We have the 10% chance that you've completely misidentified him and misjudged the writers' future choice. They've written episodes in a very suggestive way but they haven't told us yet where it's going because they honestly don't know themselves.
 * --Louiedog (talk) 02:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. Categories should be supported by content and ideally sourced. Add content about what the character and show creator/producer states - According to MacFarlane Stewie is gay but they purposely are vague with sexuality issues. Make it NPOV and source the Playboy interview if you can, then including the category makes perfect sense. -- Banj e  b oi   21:26, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not a real person guys. It's a fictional character.~ZytheTalk to me! 21:59, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Stewie might consider such an assertion a BLP violation ;-) -- >David  Shankbone  22:06, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Then Stewie could sue MacFarlane who is making the statements. -- Banj e  b oi   01:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * As written, this article quotes all the relevant material from the Playboy interview. That interview is online, saving us a trip to the softcore pornography shop. / edg ☺ ☭ 23:00, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Q:“Is Stewie coming out of the closet?”
 * MacFARLANE: "Not yet. We had an episode that went all the way to the script phase in which Stewie does come out. [ ... ] But we decided it’s better to keep it vague, which makes more sense because he’s a one-year-old. Ultimately Stewie will either be gay or be a very unhappy repressed heterosexual. It also explains why he’s so hell-bent on killing Lois and taking over the world. He has a lot of aggression, which comes from confusion and uncertainty about his orientation."
 * IMHO, it's fairly obvious and has been confirmed; it would also make sense to add that tension about his sexuality lends to his aggressiveness. I also suggest that that category itself be tweaked to express that characters whose LGBT status is used as plot devices may also be included even if they are considered closeted or questioning; this may resolve this dilemma but still serve our readers who are looking for characters considered LGBT. -- Banj e  b oi   01:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I was reading something recently in a newspaper (I don't recall which one, but I think it was Red Eye) in which there was an article called "Stewie, out." Apparently Seth MacFarlane admitted that Stewie is strictly homosexual, at least from this point on. Tezkag72 (talk) 23:26, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What is everyones rush to include the category now, instead of waiting for him to come out in the show?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 00:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * He doesn't need to "come out" in-show—as I stated above, it would make little difference if he did. And this discussion has been on hold for over a year, hardly a rush. / edg ☺ ☭ 01:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

o It could be good to wait for him to come out but as it is seen the show may have no intenction of makeing him come out as MacFarlane said they where planing to make him come out in season three but did not happen because they get good jokes and gags from both sides, so i say we wait to see what happens in this season and then diceide. -- Pedro J. the rookie 12:29, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If the character is consistently portrayed as gay and written as gay but never formally comes out in the history of the show, would that make the character not gay? The "wait please" counter-argument is silly.~ZytheTalk to me! 20:31, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Comment (per Request): Seth MacFarlane is the creator and voice of Stewie if anyone can be considered an expert on all things Stewie Griffin then he is certainly number one on the list. It is biologically impossible for Stewie to be lesbian, thus ruling out "L". "G" and "B" are the strongest contenders and "T" is currently provably false. Going on Seths comments it is unlikely the "B" is the correct answer and that "G" is in fact correct. As Stewie is a fictional character BLP considerations are not needed, so labelling a character gay cannot be considered "contentious", thus only WP:Consensus is needed. Additionally as Stewie is fictional this throws the spanner of RetCon in the works. It is entirely possible, as of episodes broadcast up-to-and-including October 2009, that Stewie is not gay. It is possible that in later episodes Stewie will be revealed to be (and more importantly has always been) gay. It is also possible that Stewie will later change into being gay, or even transsexual, or even Martian, or anything the creator wants their character to be. It is also possible that the "storyline" of Stewie being gay may be dropped at a later date and so never be considered canon. As no reliable source states that Stewie is gay or was gay or will be gay it cannot be considered canon and thus cannot be considered to be "true". I believe that the current section to be sufficient until new information is available. Sanguis Sanies (talk) 10:49, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This discussion thread has been about categorization.
 * Canon and Retroactive continuity presume an in-universe perspective. Also, the possibility that Stewie is "changing into" gay in the show suggests an unstated (and WP:OR) plot arc that is inconsistent with the real world information we are getting from interviews that Stewie is sexually ambiguous, with several episode ideas (none made) where Stewie would have come out. / edg ☺ ☭ 11:18, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Request for Comments

 * I assume this is in reference to the above? You should add the reason for the RFC on the RFC page, as well as putting this where it belongs. Sephiroth storm (talk) 17:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I tried adding reasoning on the RFC page, but the bot reverted it. Did I not do it the right place?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 19:02, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Add the category. The Wikipedia use of "LGBT" has, in practice, never just been restricted to just lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transsexuals, and instead has the more fluid "non-hetero" definition. Stewie is definitely non-heterosexual. Sceptre (talk) 18:57, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Hope I'm not mistaking the subject under contention here. Considering all past episodes of Family Guy, the Stewie Griffin character is undoubtedly of ambiguous character, as in various episodes he has displayed homosexual attractions, and in others he has made pointed heterosexual comments. He has also cross-dressed. Seems like "B" is on the list at all, although it does seem strange to be discussing the possible sexuality of a character that never engages in sexual activity, and is unlikely to be ever seen to do so 'in-universe'.

Ambiguous sexuality
If Stewie's sexuality is "ambiguous," the why is this article listed in LGBT catagories? Even if the writing staff arbitrarily considers him gay, and even if there was an (unaired) episode revealing his 'coming out,' it hasn't been officiated...therefore, these references should be removed. - The Real One Returns (talk) 09:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC) According to Word of God, on TV Tropes, McFlarene has confirmed that he was gay.I hope this helped a little bit.--Austin Robinson 01:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)User:Robinsonbecky

'English' accent?
Where does it say the intention is to give Stewie specifically an English accent? It might sound English to American ears, but in the UK it sounds more New England. Niles Crane's progeny, perhaps?--80.1.181.1 (talk) 14:16, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It sounds like Mid-Atlantic English to me. But i don't think it should be changed without some sort of citation (not that the English part should stay either) TrevorLSciAct (talk) 03:59, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

It's meant to be an English accdent. Seth MacFarlane has stated, many times, that Stewie's voice and some of his personality is based on Rex Harrison. With all due respect, BrianGriffin-FG (talk) 13:52, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, in Road to Germany, Stewie says, "I have a British accent", when giving reasons why he should be allowed to join the WWII-era RAF. Admittedly that's pretty vague, as it could mean a Scottish, or Welsh accent, but I think it's pretty apparent (especially given the Rex Harrison reference) that English received pronounciation is what they're going for. Arthur Holland (talk) 11:10, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree that, given the Seth Macfarlane reference, it's clearly supposed to be English (Americans use 'British' and 'English' interchangeably.) As 80.1.181.1 says, it doesn't sound like any sort of English accent to English ears, rather an exaggerated and affected New England accent such as that used by Loyd Grossman. --Ef80 (talk) 10:55, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

It's a pretty classic Mid-Atlantic accent. It would be nice to have a source for that claim though. Calling it "English" in the article is just wrong. It sounds a lot like received/BBC/Queen's English to American ears but it's not. The Rex Harrison reference above drives home the Mid-Atlantic claim but then it also appears that Seth MacFarlane might not be familiar with the term "Mid-Atlantic". Anyway, right now the article says "peculiar English" accent -- I'm going to change it to "affected English" accent which hopefully gets a little closer to the truth without straying too far into being original research (unsourced claim). SQGibbon (talk) 04:51, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Can't believe this is still ongoing. Yes, Seth MacFarlane intended it to be a British accent, that much we know. Stating anything other than his intention is WP:OR. Stating what accent it IS is WP:OR, just state what it was intended to be.Muleattack (talk) 15:11, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Mass Murderer
Isn't Stewie technically a mass murderer?--Austin Robinson 03:48, 6 June 2011 (UTC)User:Robinsonbecky
 * Eh, most of his "murders" are only jokes within the episode, and have nothing to do with the plot. C T J F 8 3  12:28, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't see how that matters. In one episode he tells Brian he's killed seven babies. Also in the movie it is heavily implied that he murdered a man for talking on his cell phone in an elevator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.102.18.247 (talk) 08:20, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * But it's all trivial murders. No murder has been the focus of an episode. C T J F 8 3  18:43, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * LOL, that may be the first time "trivial" and "murders" have been put together.Vyselink (talk) 22:40, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Again, I fail to see how it matters whether or not it was central to the plot. The question isn't how notable are his murders, only is he a murderer. It is obvious that he is, so I fail to see the problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.102.18.247 (talk) 08:32, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
