earlier comments
Do we want to have the same entries in the main category:Scotland page as those appearing under the different subcategories? I just feel the main page might get a bit crowded. Berek 13:07, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Tried to help trim some down! Good luck... but it's back to work and vacation for me. I'll check back in another week. Lyellin 11:59, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, Lyellin. Hope we can work on this again soon. Berek 19:32, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * This is tricky: in some ways I like the idea of all pages appearing in the overall category, with the subcats allowing a filtering down: ideally this would be a (future software) "view everything in all subcategories" option. Given The aim that articles can be hidden in subcategories unless wanted, some pages can appeal to differing interests. Prehistoric sites sort of fit into History of Scotland, but this could get cluttered. A new Prehistoric Scotland category would be an option, but if this is a sub-sub-category of History they could also appear in a Things to visit in Scotland category, or perhaps better something that covers Historic and prehistoric sites and buildings. There's already castles, so maybe more subcategories of Scotland would work well. Another interest is steamers: some pages are clearly history, some are also modern visitor attractions. Any ideas or comments? - dave souza 22:22, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments, Dave. Items that appear in two subcategories can always be listed under both - I agree that steamboats, and perhaps prehistoric sites/Scotland might be good, and we could have a category for tourist attractions as well, if you like. My motto when approaching this has been the old Wiki faithful "Be bold in your editing"! Any other thoughts that occur to you would be very welcome. Berek 11:24, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * gone for a scottish arcaeology category: this can include roman etc. will think about others - dave souza 23:32, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Removed category Liberal democracies
Guys guys, I removed the category liberal democracies from the category list of this category. I ultimately landed here because the National Youth Choir of Scotland was listed in the liberal democricies catagory page, as somebody had already noticed. I think the same should go for other categories too here, otherwise there will be anomalous results.  Amit @  Talk  16:11, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Country subdivision [sic]
How long has Scotland been a "Country subdivision" (see Category:Categories named after country subdivisions)? Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Daicaregos (talk) 15:50, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Paya Lebar Air Base

The Paya Lebar Air Base is a military airbase of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) in Singapore located at Airport Road in Paya Lebar, in the eastern region of Singapore. The airbase goes by the motto of Strength Through Readiness.

It was originally built in 1954 as Singapore International Airport to replace Kallang Airport; control of the airport was transferred to RSAF in 1980 when it was renamed Paya Lebar Air Base, following the relocation of the civilian airport to Changi.

Under the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA)'s Master Plan, Paya Lebar Air Base is scheduled to be decommissioned by around 2030 to make way for residential and commercial developments as a new town, with the RSAF relocating to other airbases throughout the country such as at Changi and Tengah, which will be expanded throughout the 2020s.

History
The airport was built from 1952 to 1955, and opened on 20 August that year by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Alan Lennox-Boyd. The architect for the project was J. J. Bryan, a public works engineer with experience constructing airports in other parts of Asia.

It was one of the two hubs for Malayan Airways at this time, and the airline had its first flight outside Southeast Asia in 1958, using a DC-4 plane leased from Qantas, flying to Hong Kong. Turboprops were introduced over the next few years, and the name was changed to Malaysian Airways.

In 1962, a joint RAF/Singapore civil Air Traffic Control service was formed to provide Military cover for Air Defence. During that time Britannia aircraft of British Eagle provided transport for the British military. Comet 4C's were common traffic and the new VC10 arrived reducing flight time, rather than the 24hrs-with stops- of the Britannia.

In 1966, the company focused more on Singapore, buying Boeing 707s, headquartering itself in that country, and renaming itself Malaysia-Singapore Airlines – with a notable fluorescent yellow livery. Its primary hub became Paya Lebar, and services began to reach out further into North Asia.

From 1979 to 1980, British Airways, in conjunction with Singapore Airlines, began supersonic Concorde services from London's Heathrow Airport, to Paya Lebar Singapore.

Malaysia-Singapore Airlines was dissolved in 1972, with the airline splitting into two; Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines were formed – the latter keeping all the 707s; and Singapore Airlines remaining at Paya Lebar. Passenger numbers rose from 1.7 million to 4 million between 1970 and 1975. The airport was constrained by housing estates and although some work was done to keep it operational in the meantime, construction began on the new airport in 1975 and opened in 1981. Paya Lebar then closed to civil traffic, the IATA airport code of SIN and the ICAO airport code of WSSS were transferred to the newly opened civilian airport in Changi.

Conversion to military use
Singapore International Airport began to be gradually converted into a military air-force base from late 1967 onwards. During that year, an Air Movement Centre was constructed to handle passengers and cargo arriving on Republic of Singapore Air Force, and Ministry of Defence charter flights and foreign military aircraft. The original terminal building (painted green), maintenance hangar and control tower are retained. Access to terminal and hangars are off-limits closed off by a wired fence. It became a complete military airbase in 1981 when Singapore Changi Airport was opened and was subsequently renamed as Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB) in the same year.

Paya Lebar Air Base
The air base currently houses aircraft such as the C-130 Hercules and two squadrons of F-15SG Strike Eagles.

The flying squadrons are:
 * 122 Squadron with 10 C-130 Hercules,
 * 142 Squadron with 15 F-15SG Strike Eagles,
 * 149 Squadron with >24 F-15SG Strike Eagles

The support squadrons are:
 * Air Logistics Squadron (ALS)
 * Airfield Maintenance Squadron (AMS)
 * Field Defence Squadron (FDS)
 * Flying Support Squadron (FSS)

Former squadrons based here are:
 * 141 Squadron with F-5S/T, RF-5S
 * 144 Squadron with F-5S/T

Use by the United States Air Force
Under Singapore's permission, the Paya Lebar Airbase is also used by various flying units of United States Air Force and United States Navy (including United States Marine Corps Aviation) as a strategic refuelling stopover and staging post/transit point; the base is also used permanently by the 497th Combat Training Squadron for other flight operations since 31 October 1991.

Paya Lebar Air Base also plays host to USAF VIP aircraft as well, with regular visits by Air Force One, such as during President George W. Bush's two visits to Singapore in October 2003 and November 2006.

Air Force Two carrying Vice-President Dick Cheney also made a refuelling stop and underwent minor repairs en route from Australia in 2007.

The USAF Boeing 747-200 E-4B regularly lands at the base when the U.S. Secretary of Defense visits Singapore, as does the Boeing 757 C-32A that carries the Secretary of State.

On 14 November 2009, Air Force One carrying President Barack Obama landed at Paya Lebar Air Base to attend the APEC Singapore 2009 Summit.

On 10 June 2018, President Donald Trump landed at the airbase in the Boeing VC-25A for the 2018 North Korea–United States summit. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un landed at Changi Airport instead, on a chartered Air China Boeing 747.

On 22 August 2021, Air Force Two carrying Vice-President Kamala Harris arrived at the airbase for an official visit.

2018 North Korea–United States summit
PLAB was chosen to host Air Force One for the 12 June 2018 North Korea–United States summit between President Donald Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-un. Although early media reports speculated that Kim's Ilyushin Il-62 would land at PLAB, his plane landed at Singapore Changi Airport instead.

On 6 June 2018, Singapore's aviation authorities announced temporary airspace restrictions that were put in place for parts of 11–13 June. Aircraft arriving at Singapore Changi Airport were required to reduce speed with some restrictions on runway use. Aviators were also informed to keep a distance from Paya Lebar Air Base. After the summit, Trump and Air Force One left Singapore via PLAB at 6:30 pm Singapore Time.

Decommissioning
The airbase is expected to be decommissioned from 2030. Throughout the 2020s, expansion works are currently ongoing at Tengah Air Base and Changi Air Base to prepare for the eventual relocation of RSAF's assets after the closure of the airbase.

With the closure of the airbase, height restrictions imposed at Singapore's central business district (CBD) which limits buildings to a maximum height of 280 meters unless special permissions are granted will be lifted, and the airbase's area will be redeveloped into a new town with residential housing projects, offices, factories, and parks. Parts of the old airbase (e.g. runway) will also be integrated to this new town to conserve its heritage, with parks and museums.

Legacy
Being Singapore's first major international airport, the old passenger terminal building and control tower still stands, though they now house air force units and are off-limits to the public. Nevertheless, much of the interior still remains intact and is almost completely preserved from the time it was first built. The road which used to lead to the old passenger terminal is also still known as Airport Road.

Air Force Museum
The RSAF maintains the Air Force Museum, which is open to the public and showcases the air force's history and capabilities. The museum is located at 400 Airport Road, Singapore 534234 beside the airbase. It went through an upgrade and update of the exhibits in 2015.

More info?

I found some more information here, but I don't know whether it's suitable to be included in Wikipedia.

http://www.megastories.com/seasia/indonesi/candidat/habibie.htm

 * Should this page be moved? I never remember him being called anything except "B.J. Habibie", but that's just the Western media. Everyking 16:08, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * It is correct that prior to his term as president, everybody in Indonesia referred to him as "B.J. Habibie", or even as "Habibie". The newer "Jusuf Habibie" only started use during his presidency.  I vote to move it to "B.J. Habibie" or even just "Habibie", since they are by far more recognizable.  I'm not sure if "B.J." is an honorary title or not, though. Julius.kusuma 21:24, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * *drew, just a quick note that the correct spelling is "Habibie", not "Habiebie", although in West Java that is the name that people say in jest (bie means soft in Sundanese). --Julius.kusuma 18:26, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Guten Tag Herr Habibie, heute las ich den großen Artikel über sie im Hamburger Abendblatt. Der Zufall war es, dass ich ihren Fahrer Peter Bertling gut kannte. Er war ein Neffe meiner Tanten Charlotte und Helene Bertling aus Henst.-Ulzburg. Sie hatten mal Peter und seine Frau Bruno nach Indonesien eingeladen. Sie war ganz begeistert von der schönen Reise. Nun wollte ich den Artikel an Bertlings senden und erfuhr, das Peter sein Sohn im letzten Jahr mit 60 Jahren verstorben ist. Peter ist auch schon lange gestorben, Sicher erinnern Sie sich noch an den großen stattlichen Mann. Seine Witwe Brunhilde lebt in Essen. Ich werde den Artikel ihr zukommen lassen. Ich wünsche ihnen weiterhin alles Gute. Sie haben ja viel für ihr Land getan.

Habibies part in East Timor referendum
I added:

"On 30 August 1999, the referendum was held and the East Timorese people overwhelmingly chose Independence in mostly free and fair elections. The Indonesian military started a campaign against the East Timorese population, which caused the 1999 East Timorese crisis where up to 2000 people were killed. Habibie had refused before to allow an United Nations peace keeping force. On 27 April 1999 Habibie threatened in a talk with Howard, with the immediate task of East Timor and the rejection of the referendum, which would lead to a civil war between integrationists and separatists, if a peacekeeping force is send. After the wave of violence after the referendum, Habibie accepted under international pressure the dispatch of INTERFET and the handing over of the territory to the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET)."

Source is: John Braithwaite, Hilary Charlesworth, Adérito Soares: Networked Governance of Freedom and Tyranny: Peace in Timor-Leste, p. 98 & 99, ANU press 2012.

You reverted this with the comment "The reference is not authoritative. It is merely one point of view. There are many others. The literature is extensive. It is not right to quote just one point of view."

Please explain, why do you believe, the reference is not authoritative and add a reference for your opinion! If there is another point of view, both couild be presented in the article. A deletion is not helpful for the reader. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 06:34, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

 * I guess, the citation of Habibie during his talks with Howard in Bali on 27 April 1999 is documented. I can not see any place for interpretation here. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 06:37, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

 * This is not a useful conversation. The literature, and the references, on all of these events is very, very extensive.  It is not appropriate to quote a few selective references, here and there, as suits your view.  This is not careful scholarship, and it does not meet the standards that Wikipedia sets.  Please stop trying to promote one particular view of events. Pmccawley (talk) 07:01, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Sorry to say, conversation IS a Wikipedia principle and trying to depreciate this or valid references is not a possibility for discussions here. I have invited you, to present your position by giving references and by helping showing the ambivalent opinions about Mr. Habibie. It is strange, you are not accepting publications of ANU press, while being an honorary associate professor at the Australian National University. If you are thinking, the source is too selective, please add further informations with references. I am respecting Mr. Habibies merits for Indonesian democracy and for the decision to run the referendum in Timor-Leste. Two weeks ago, a bridge and a park was named after Mr. Habibie in Dili, thanking him for his courage. But there are some things, which were not so brightful and this has to be mention as well. There is no black and white in this story.

 * And please, start using arguments and not degradations of contributions with other opinions. We are both not school boys and not beginners in Wikipedia. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 12:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

As someone reasonably familiar with the extensive literature on the Timor-Leste referendum, I'll simply say that the existing text contains a factual error: "However, the retreat of Indonesian troops from East Timor created the 1999 East Timorese crisis where many were killed." As Indonesian troops withdrew in favour of the Australian-led force, the crisis ended and killings ceased. The most careful research is probably Robinson, If You Leave Us Here We Will Die. Even if you don't like that source, it's an unsourced and inaccurate error in chronology to say that TNI "retreat" led to the crisis. At best, it is "merely one point of view" and I agree that "it is not right to quote just one point of view." Dwebsterbu (talk) 18:13, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Without wishing to prolong this discussion, I'd simply like to note that it is quite difficult to summarise the complex (and rapidly-changing) events in Timor-Leste at that time in a concise and impartial way. Emotions understandably ran high (and still run high today) and it's often hard to pin down the exact facts.  Not surprisingly, different parties draw on different facts to construct their own different narratives about the events.  The result is that if we are trying to summarise events in Wikipedia, we need to be very careful to try to be as impartial and fact-oriented as possible. Pmccawley (talk) 01:44, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Agreed. I have therefore moved factual errors such as calling UNTAET a UN peacekeeping force, calling a referendum an "election," the value judgment that it was "mostly free and fair," and the unsourced claim that Indonesian "retreat" caused the crisis - obviously factually false since deaths started before TNI departed.Dwebsterbu (talk) 02:00, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Thank you. I agree with this approach.  The trouble is that feelings are so divided that even small errors can become sources of sharp division.  A "referendum", for example, is very clearly not an "election."  We need to stick very firmly to the facts -- slim though they may be at times. Once we move away from the agreed facts, we move into murky territory. Pmccawley (talk) 02:15, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

 * So, let us talk, what are the facts, you are seeing. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 03:36, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

 * In response to J. Patrick Fischer -- Thank you for your good response here. I'm glad to say that I think that we now -- with the help of you, and Dwebsterbu, and others -- have made some useful progress in sorting some of this out. Part of the trouble with further discussion on this particular Wiki page is that, really, are many issues to be sorted out.  It's probably best to carry on any extended discussion in academic and other articles.  We also need to pay proper attention to the Indonesian literature on all of this, much of which is in Indonesian, as well as in English and other languages.  Pmccawley (talk) 03:32, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Great. In the latest edit, I have removed another error (UNTAET did not arrive until October so could not have arrived in September: Interfet was meant, and in this case Patrick's edit was correct in changing UNTAET to Interfet); changed the chronology so that Habibie's acceptance of Interfet (12 Sept.) now comes after Wiranto's alleged coup attempt (10 Sept.) instead of before; and added context - call for referendum came from Timorese before it came from Howard; passive "were killed" to active "militias killed" etc. I think this improves factual basis. Dwebsterbu (talk) 20:08, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Obvious vandalism in the lead section
The terms "he got cancer and died as he succeeded Suharto" and "he is poor and homeless" were added to the lead section by an IP editor minutes before the article was actually semi-protected due to persistent vandalism. This content has not yet been removed. It constitutes obvious vandalism, therefore it should not remain in the article. Best regards, --85.216.245.67 (talk) 07:10, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

ICMI
Unable to add at the moment but there should be a reference to ICMI. I'd suggest something like:

While serving in cabinet, Habibie was also elected as the first Chair of the Indonesian Association of Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI) in 1990. This modernist Muslim organization provided him with a political base, linked to but independent of the Suharto administration.[1] Hefner, Robert W. (2000).

What seismometers on the Moon?
The current article has this line: "All other ascent stages were either left in lunar orbit to eventually crash, intentionally steered into the Moon to obtain readings from seismometers placed on the lunar surface, or else burned up in Earth's atmosphere." But what seismometers would those be? Were there actually seimometers places on the Moon before Apollo 11?

Isn't this the mission where crew recorded the so-called space "music" on their radio comms? I can't find mention of it anywhere on Wikipedia. There seems to be a myth that it was unreported for 4 decades before Nasa released the recording, but the transcript has apparently always been available. It would be nice to get some clarity on this. DAVilla (talk) 10:50, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Why did someone undid my revision?
@Wehwalt you undid my revision because you thought it was not relevant. I added the replacement of Cooper and Eisele on Apollo 13 prime crew so people knows who would fly on Apollo 13. Although it is Apollo 10, there is a future story as the Apollo 10 backup crew did not fly in space and got replaced by other astronauts. Is it okay I add that information back again? Loveheart547 (talk) 21:00, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * There is an article already on Apollo 13 that tells that story. Also one on Apollo 14. We have to be careful not to go too far afield. If we say that Shepard replaced Cooper on Apollo 13, then we have to say why he didn't fly Apollo 13, and why Roosa did not.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:03, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I did explain why Cooper didn't fly Apollo 13. It was already explained in the page by other people.
 * Was it Eisele did not? Well, Eisele was replaced by Stuart Roosa when they were rotated to Apollo 13 prime crew. I've seen from other sources that James McDivitt would fly on Apollo 13. If James McDivitt accepted the position, Edgar Mitchell would not rotate to Apollo 13 LMP position. Loveheart547 (talk) 15:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Can someone adjust the notetag?
I've just added a notetag but want to adjust it so it is visible. This notetag has been on wikipedia on previous versions but I added it back in because it was removed. Thanks Loveheart547 (talk) 15:00, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Run-on sentence
This sentence has too many statements: "After the prime crew of Apollo 2, led by Wally Schirra, went to NASA management with a list of demands concerning their mission, Apollo 2 was cancelled in November 1966, and Stafford was assigned as backup commander for the second Apollo mission under a new schedule, planned to involve the first crewed flight of the lunar module, to be commanded by James McDivitt, with Young as backup CMP and Cernan as backup LMP." I suggest it be broken up. I was paused for too long trying to figure out if the demands were related to the fire. Only later in the article did I learned the fire was after the demands. Rather than trying to sort it out, I stopped reading. After all, the article is about Apollo 10. Timhowardriley (talk) 09:18, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

What does "farthest from their homes" mean?
I don't understand the sentence "The Apollo 10 crew also traveled farther than any humans before or since from their (Houston) homes: 408,950 kilometers (220,820 nmi) (though the Apollo 13 crew was 200 km farther away from Earth as a whole)."

Does it want to say that Houston was approximately on the opposite side of Earth so that Apollo 10 travelled farther from Houston (but not from the Moon-facing side of Earth's surface) than any other human crew ever? Glasfaser Wien (talk) 07:01, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

 * That's my understanding. Remember the Apollo 13 crew were only beyond the Moon for a relatively brief time since they looped around it and did not enter orbit. Houston was presumably not facing away from the Moon at the time, judging by this. Since Apollo 10 spent over a day in lunar orbit, they had plenty of time to have Earth rotate and Houston to face away. You might not get Houston at its furthest point but since a lunar orbit usually took about two hours, you're at most going to be an hour away from that, which isn't going to make much difference to the distance. I do recall that Apollo 10 and 13 were the missions that took place with the Moon the furthest from Earth, which is the other major factor. Wehwalt (talk) 12:33, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Interesting. Makes sense, thank you. Glasfaser Wien (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Popular culture
Joel Kinnaman playing as the main character in Far All Mankind series is the commander of this mission. Should this be added under the popular culture section? Footy2000♡; 05:07, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

 * No, I don't think so. We do not need to add chance references such as that. Wehwalt (talk) 12:41, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Geysir

About image series in the article
For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Geysir&diff=0&oldid=5078721

If this is in fact the case, then the text "Geysir lies on the slopes of Laugarfjall hill which is also the home to Strokkur geyser" seems to be misleading, as it implies that Strokkur and Geysir are two separate geysers. — Pladask 13:11, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Great Geyser and Strokkur Geyser are two separate geysers that are about 50 feet apart. Together the area (the side of the hill) is known as Geysir. I hope my photo series proves that I have been there and know what I am talking about :) Pcb21| Pete 13:30, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * But the article reads "Geysir (full name The Great Geysir), in the Haukadalur valley, Iceland, is the oldest geyser [...]". I don't doubt you know what you're talking about; my point is just that the text seems to be misleading. — Pladask 14:13, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I will clarify the article. Pcb21| Pete 16:37, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Images
I've just removed the sequence of Strokkur erupting, which seems inappropriate for an article about a different geyser even if it is close by. I have an image of Geysir which I will upload later today to replace them - can't seem to get it to work at the moment.

 * I added the Strokkur picture (actually called Geysir.jpg) without reading this discussion, sorry. If you think it's inappropriate here, feel free to remove it; I think it's a good picture because it shows a person close to the geyser to comapre with. I personally think that the article really neeeds a (old) picture of erupting Geysir, even if it's not erupting anymore. Batintherain 12:20, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I saw your image and thought it looked like Srokkur. I think it's a great pic, rare blue skies over Strokkur are nice to see!  But might be better at Strokkur (which could use some expanding).  This page has some actual Geysir photos, the old one might be PD.  Haven't got time right now to try and find out the source of the more recent one.  I have a photo of a sadly dormant Geysir taken in 1999, just a few months before it resumed activity, I'll upload that shortly. Worldtraveller 12:44, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I have a video to upload of geysir from some news website from iceland giving away video!

Distance between Geysir and Strokkur
They are a little over a stone's throw apart from each other, certainly not 400 meters. Unfortunately I can't find the exact distance anywhere so I'm unable to edit at this time. 194.144.92.20 15:02, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed, it has been. Google seems to be very useful for measuring distances. -MrGulli (talk) 18:49, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Eruption heights
Does anyone have a reference for those claimed eruption heights? I'm suspicious -- the best references I've seen (notably the Bryan book on Yellowstone's geysers, which has a big section on geysers of the world and quite a bit about Geysir and Strokkur) don't give any heights remotely approaching 170 meters. Such things get inflated in the telling sometimes. -- Bill-on-the-Hill (talk) 02:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I share your suspicions. I have tried to verify but can find no reference to the 122 meter figure in 2000 that predates 2011. The unreferenced entry for 122 meters was made by user:Albert Maalou on  22:31, 18 February 2011 who has only made this single entry on English Wikipedia. On the 18th February the same user made entries in at least Dutch and French wikipedia's so perhaps a newsworthy event did occur. In the French wikipedia by 20th February this was marked as reference required.  None has been provided. Multiple on line sources subsequently have used next to identical wording to that in wikipedia so suspect copying. An example which validates the 2016 eruption but not the 2000 one is . English language Icelandic sources that predate 2011 do not seem to exist. The Icelandic Wikipedia does not currently make this claim (it appears to have been inserted by user:Nawalbechaalani and then removed).  Multiple English language academic geology sources do not make this claim.  I have also noted that the unreferenced statement "In 1845, it reaches a height of 170 meters" was inserted in the article by user:Nawalbechaalani on 12:23, 21 February 2011. There are no other contributions by this author to en wikipedia. However there is indirect evidence that a verifiable source might exist, including that this  seems to have been inserted independent of users Nawalbechaalani and Maalou in Icelandic wikipedia. This claim has been marked as needing verification in Icelandic Wikipedia more than once. I have not been able to identify Bunsden as source and indeed he seems to document standard eruption heights in 1846. I had half a mind to be bold and remove the 2000 claim given that someone has done that in the Icelandic wikipedia but if inaccurate it now has myth status in the Tourist pamphlets so will probably be reinstated, using a questionable source and is thus best perhaps marked unverified.

Unless he's known for some distinctive reason (e.g. Nicholas II's daughter Anastasia, Victoria's son the Duke of Clarence and Avondale) a note with the parent should be sufficient.

The Adventures of Bayou Billy

The Adventures of Bayou Billy is an action game released by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in 1989 and in the PAL region in 1991. It is a revised version of the 1988 Family Computer game Mad City (マッド・シティ), which has been modified with many graphical changes and an increase in the game's difficulty level. The game employs three play styles that were popular at the time: beat 'em up, light gun shooting and racing.

Plot
Billy West, otherwise known as Bayou Billy, is a Crocodile Dundee-like vigilante from the bayous of Louisiana, who has fought against a local crime boss, known as Godfather Gordon. In retaliation for interfering with his smuggling operations, Gordon kidnaps Billy's girlfriend Annabelle Lane in order to lure Billy into one final battle. Billy's quest to save Annabelle consists of nine stages that takes him from the swamplands to Bourbon Street, as he battles Gordon's henchmen and eventually arrives at Gordon's estate to come face-to-face with the big boss himself.

Gameplay
The majority of the game follows a side-scrolling beat-'em-up format in which the player character (Billy) must engage in hand-to-hand combat against every enemy he encounters in order to proceed from one area to the next until reaching the end of each stage before his health runs out. Billy's basic attacks consists of a punch, a kick and a jump kick performed by pressing the A and B buttons simultaneously. The player can also arm Billy with one of three melee weapons dropped by certain enemies: a throwing knife, a club and a whip. If the player picks up a new weapon while Billy is still in possession of a previous one, the new weapon will overwrite the previous one. Billy can also pick up guns, which the player can draw or withdraw at any time by pressing the Select button (when Billy is using a gun, the number next to the "bullet" indicator on the top portion of the screen will start flashing). Other power-ups in these stages include a chicken drumstick that refills Billy's health and a body armor that protects Billy from enemy bullets and reduces the damage he takes from other attacks. While the majority of the enemies in the beat-'em-up stages are human bad guys, the player will occasionally fight animals as well such as crocodiles, eagles and guard dogs.

In Stages 2 and 7, the game adopts a rail shooting format viewed from a first-person perspective, which can be played with a standard controller or with an NES Zapper, depending on the mode chosen by the player before the start of the game. In these stages, the player must shoot as many gunmen as possible and then destroy the boss at the end of the stage without running out of health or ammunition. Certain enemies will drop additional ammo and health kits, as well as other power-ups such as an hourglass that gives Billy unlimited ammo for a limited period, a bulletproof vest that leaves him invulnerable for a while as well, and a star that destroys all present enemies.

In Stages 4 and 5, the player must drive Billy's jeep through the freeway from the grasslands to the suburbs before time runs out. In these two stages, the player steers and accelerates the jeep with the d-pad, while the A and B buttons are used to launch grenades at airborne enemy vehicles and shoot at other cars in front of Billy's jeep. These are the only stages where the player does not have a health gauge and as a result, a single collision with an enemy vehicle, bomb explosion or any other road hazard will result in a lost life. The player can pick up gasoline cans along the way to extend the time limit.

In addition to the main game mode, there's also a practice mode featuring shorter versions of select stages in order to help players familiarize themselves with the controls for each gameplay style. Completing a practice stage will award the player with a power-up that can be used in the main game.

Regional differences
The game was originally released for the Famicom in Japan under the title of Mad City and was retitled The Adventures of Bayou Billy when it was converted to the NES for the international market, undergoing many extensive changes during the localization process. The NES version is harder than the Famicom version; enemies in the beat-'em-up stages are more aggressive and have more health, the player starts the shooting stages with less ammunition, and the driving stages have narrower roads. The driving stages in the Famicom version also give Billy's jeep a health gauge, allowing it to withstand collision from enemy vehicles and road hazards, a benefit not available in the NES version. The Famicom version has four possible endings, whereas the NES version only has one.

The NES version also features many audio and visual changes. Enemy characters and backgrounds are colored differently and the game's heroine, Annabelle, wears more revealing clothing in the NES version (having been changed from a v-neck dress to denim shorts and a midriff-revealing T-shirt). DPCM-coded voice samples were added, such as an announcer declaring the game's title when the player starts the game and Gordon laughing between stages. In the Japanese version, 4 different endings can be achieved by using certain operations. If played in Easy mode, Billy will save Annabelle but also comments on "something lost", the game then proceeds with a notice of playing the game in a harder mode; beating the game normally results in the usual ending; beating the game but not coming to Annabelle after rescuing her will end up in a "bad ending" in which Annabelle leaves Billy; a fourth ending can be achieved by certain operations and in this ending, Billy and Annabelle will speak in Kansai dialect.

Comic
Archie Comics published a comic book series based on The Adventures of Bayou Billy written by Rich Margopoulos and illustrated by Amanda Conner, which lasted five bi-monthly issues dated from September 1989 to June 1990. The comic takes liberties with the plot and characterizations of the game and introduces an additional cast of supporting characters. Bayou Billy (whose full name is William Jackson West in the comic) is a bounty hunter assisted by his former military companions of Broadside, Sureshot and Tracker, as they protect the innocent from a local mob led by Giles Gordon and his two sons Rocky and Rocco (who were originally Gordon's bodyguards in the game). Annabelle Lane (who is renamed Annabel Lee) also appears in the comic as an assistant district attorney who becomes romantically involved with Billy after being rescued from Gordon's lackeys. The fourth issue reveals that Billy is a widower whose first wife was killed in an ordered hit by Gordon meant for him.

Television
Bayou Billy also received some amount of exposure on the Nintendo-themed animated TV series Captain N: The Game Master, where Bayou Billy appears in an episode titled "How's Bayou", voiced by Garry Chalk. Playing on the difficulty of its real world counterpart, Bayou Billy was said to be the one game even Captain N was unable to conquer yet. Mother Brain had Dr. Wily build a robot cat to have Duke lead Captain N to Bayou Billy's world. Captain N ended up meeting Bayou Billy where he learned some tricks from him.

We the Media

We the Media is a book written by Dan Gillmor, published in 2004 by O'Reilly (ISBN 0596007337).

Gillmor discusses how the proliferation of grassroots internet journalists (bloggers) has changed the way news is handled. One of the book's main points is that a few big media corporations cannot control the news we get any longer, now that news is being published in real-time, available to everybody, via the Internet. The book received widespread praise from the demographic it covered, and mixed reviews elsewhere.

Background
We the Media details how media and its consumption has changed with the introduction of online platforms. Big corporations are no longer able to control what is being published about themselves, while the "former audience," as Gillmor calls it, is no longer passive. The former audience has a larger role in the consumption and production of media.

Gillmor believes the aggressive use of copyrighting in America is a cause for the lack of creativity and innovation in the states. For this reason, he has his book published for free under a creative commons. The book will be released into the public domain 14 years after publication.

Ch. 1: From Tom Paine to Blogs and Beyond
"Big Media" has increased availability of news reception. Major broadcasting companies no longer have the mass influence over users it once had. News is now more of a conversation. News has more choices, voices, perspectives, and options. "Big Media's" only strength is its depleting stocks of financial resources and their powerful presence during copyright investigations.

Early social innovators, like Thomas Paine and other early American pamphleteers and muckrakers, set the stage for successive media revolutions. The most significant being worldwide, low-cost access to internet and having their own say about what is happening in the world.

Ch. 2: The Read-Write Web
David Winer developed user friendly software that would allow most people with a computer to be able to write on the web. People no longer needed an ISP account or be an expert with HTML to create web pages. With this new technology anyone could subscribe to the content of others. In the past 150 years there were two major means of communication: one to many, and one to one. Winer's software changed this.

Today there is the addition of many to many or few to few. We use SMS for time sensitive alerts, text messages, and information. Publishing is easy with RSS. It allows the public to both blog about and keep up with current events, commentary, personals, and businesses. The internet makes the amateur the professional. There is no reliance on limited sources because the public can access information and receive events in real time.

Ch. 3: The Gates Come Down
The power of big Media’s ability to advertise and conceal news or information with the rest of the world is dwindling on the brink of a new era. This grassroots media era is what’s essentially in effect here. The power of the common people united in a “truth squad" is at an all-time high. They are able to gather and release information through blogs, e-mails, and journals. The public can keep a watch on corporate offices and political affairs. In the past, big media had a controlled grip on what the public had access to.

There are a number of ways for writers to get their story out others in their online communities. Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Medium and WordPress are a few of these online platforms. The days of big media are numbered due to this expanding movement of writing individually for the people.

Ch. 4: Newsmakers Turn the Tables
Politicians of the future will not be able to use the media to its highest effect. In his discussion of Phil Gomes, Gillmor mentions that a large part of the success of Gomes’ strategy was the IBM AS/400. Computers made the instant transfer of materials possible. This helped Gomes achieve his marketing penetration.

The largest part of Gillmor’s focus lies in the way the current political community has yet to embrace the notion of social media. His main advice for the community at large is to make use of the media as a tool. The community can use the untapped masses connected to the other end of those networks.

Ch. 5: The Consent of the Governed
The introduction of the Internet is a medium both for politicians and citizens to actively contribute to campaigns. The chapter focuses on the usage of microblogging as a more personal form of democratic interaction between the electors and the elected. Both Howard Dean and John McCain are both credited with pioneering and perfecting this grassroots medium utilization.

Ironically, the chapter predicts microblogging reaching its apex during the 2008 elections, which would feature none other than John McCain. While McCain used microblogging effectively; his opponent Barack Obama brilliantly carried out the most effective internet medium based campaign to date. Obama's successful implementation of strategic targeted microblogging resulted in his election to the presidency over McCain.

Ch. 6: Professional Journalist Join the Conversation
BBC launched iCan to get the interaction of the audience. It gives the audience a chance to be in charge of what is reported. In South Korea, OhmyNews is an example of the system where the audience can report on the news. It gives a glimpse at the future of systems like BBC’s iCan idea. The audience’s interaction is where everyone can be a reporter. They cover the issues that are not covered by the mainstream media. They also can force mainstream media to make a local issue national or global. OhmyNews “capture[s] the power of average people”.

Gillmor discusses the importance of feedback from readers. He feels as though reporters do not engage their readers if they do not acknowledge their readers' thoughts. His example is an article called the "Jane’s Intelligence Review." The article details an organization wanting to know if their computer security article was on the right track. The organization posted the article on their site for users and readers to comment on. The readers responded with harsh and honest feedback, much to their surprise. They found that readers know more than the professionals.

Ch. 7: The Former Audience Joins the Party
This chapter speaks on the effect that bloggers and many others have had over the years and how they have developed. Hossein Derakhshan made what Gillmor considers the first the Persian-language weblogger. Derakhshan launched his site in December 2000. His site encourages other Iranians to set up their own blogs. The blogs are a cross-section of Iranian society.

Many big companies have been trying to hide their information behind “intellectual property” rights. This has the ability to threaten Americans right to free speech. Wikipedia, which uses wiki software, allows anyone to post anything and edit any page. Being an open resource has helped it escape most vandalism and become a credible source of information.

Ch. 8: Next Steps
Gillmor discusses Moore's Law, which he mentions will have a large influence on changing new media for the better. The Pew Internet & American Life found that in mid-2003, less than half of adult Internet users had used the internet to “publish their thoughts, respond to others, post pictures, share files and otherwise contribute to the explosion of content available online.” Gillmor writes how this has to change for "future inventions" to take hold in the upcoming digital age.

During this time, the ability to get the news you want was a hallmark of the networked world. RSS affected how individuals collected information from many different sites. It was a pioneering aspect in how new media became organized, which only increased the change of new media in the early 1990s. Another program, Technorati, was created by Dave Sifry in 2002. The Technorati API (applications programming interface) hooks one piece of software to another. Gillmor believes this program's influence can control new media, rather than erode businesses.

Ch. 9: Trolls, Spin, and the Boundaries of Trust
In this chapter, Gillmor exposes various modes of deception in the modern media. He uses eight subtopics to illustrate the concepts. These explain the distortions of perception, discuss the misleading practice of image manipulations, and the effect of anonymity on the credibility of sourcing in internet-based media.

Gillmor goes on to define and explain the effects of trolls on the media, discuss the effects of information provided by biased and motivated groups, and expresses the correcting influence of fact-checking on digital media by non-traditional media contributors. He poses the question of whether the media, influenced by the weight of the prevalent false information, will implode from the effect of lost credibility.

Ch. 10: Here Come the Judges (and Lawyers)
In a society where "anything goes," Gillmor warns of legal ramifications that may befall bloggers and online journalists. Legal ramifications include libel, defamation, plagiarism, forbidden links, and copyright infringement.

Even if one retracts an incorrect statement, one can still get sued for defamation and libel. Gillmor makes the point that a writer cannot libel a public figure unless he publishes with "malice."

Whether or not the elements of defamation are met depends on jurisdiction as one country's laws may differ from another's. If a blogger writes an opinion piece about someone who resides in another country, the person in the piece can sue the blogger in their own country, regardless of the blogger's home country. A blog's community comments are protected under the Free-speech Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Ch. 11: The Empires Strike Back
The web's new freedom was at first thought to create a true customer. However, as technology advanced, governments, telecommunication companies and big businesses would try to stop progress. All information sent and received had the capability of being tracked and filtered. In the mid-1990s HTTP Cookies, developed by Netscape, created privacy issues. Additionally with the expansion of the web, copyright laws no longer had a clear creator/user line. Phone and cable companies monopolized pipe lines, not wanting to provide inter-communications to competitors. Another issue became the regulation of the airways. The U.S. licensed specific parts of the airways in the 1930s to certain government agencies and companies. The FCC Spectrum Policy Task Force. was then created.

Ch. 12: Making Our Own News
In Chapter 12, Gillmor examines the power and influence that the Internet has over journalism. He states that his goal for writing the book was to persuade his audience of the consequences that journalists, newsmakers, and the news audience are suffering from in the age of technology.

Gillmor reveals that he released We the Media under a Creative Commons license. He had print copies in store and free versions on the Internet available for download. He released the book with a 14-year copyright; far less than the standard copyright, which lasts for “the life of the author, plus 75 years.”

Epilogue
On March 10, 2004, Dan Gillmor posted a draft of We the Media on his weblog. Together with his readers, they edited the book using the ideas contained within it to assist in the writing. In spring of 2003, the larger outline of the book was posted online with mixed reviews.

That same year, disaster struck as Gillmor’s inbox containing the myriad of edits had vanished overnight, leaving his editing in shambles. He attempted to reconstruct them using local backups, but many edits and comments were lost in doing so. Gillmor called the project afterwards "in a sense, a test of the next version of journalism."

Bases Loaded II: Second Season

Bases Loaded II: Second Season, known in Japan as Moero!! Pro Yakyū '88 Kettei Ban (燃えろ!!プロ野球’88決定版), is a video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System released in 1988. It is the sequel to Bases Loaded and is continued by Bases Loaded 3. The game is the second installment of the Bases Loaded series. The game was novelized by Peter Lerangis, as part of the Worlds of Power series published by Scholastic Books.

Gameplay
Like its predecessor, Bases Loaded II offers both a single-game mode and a single- player "pennant race" mode. In the "pennant race", a player must first achieve at least a 75-55 record during the regular season, then win a best-of-7 "World Series" against L.A. or N.Y. depending whether you have chosen a team from the Eastern or Western league respectively.

Though some characteristics remained the same between Bases Loaded and Bases Loaded II (e.g. the same fictitious 12-team league returns in this game, with new players. It is worth noting that all of the players on the Washington, D.C. team are named after famous politicians, while all of Los Angeles's players take their names from Hollywood luminaries. In addition, one of Hawaii's pitchers is named Ho.), there are several noteworthy changes. One new feature was the "biorhythm" concept; players in the game had "biorhythms" that could be monitored to ensure optimal performance. Bases Loaded II had a little faster play action than the original game, and the point of view once a ball was hit into play was also different. In Bases Loaded, the view was from behind home plate, whereas in Bases Loaded II the view was either from the first-base line if the home team was at bat, or from the third-base line if the visiting team was at bat.

One big improvement over the original Bases Loaded included the ability to modify the starting lineup and batting order for the user controlled team, and clearly defined pitcher's roles which were outlined clearly in the detailed rosters included with the instructional manual.

One other feature largely unique to this particular game was the concept of a mandatory called game via an unconventional "9-run rule". Also, like in Nippon Professional Baseball, no game was allowed to last more than 12 innings.

Reception
Allgame gave Bases Loaded II four out of five stars.

Mariner Moose

The Mariner Moose is the team mascot of the Seattle Mariners, a Major League Baseball team. He is an anthropomorphic moose who mainly appears and performs during Mariners home games at T-Mobile Park; he additionally makes several hundred appearances in the community each year, at everything from hospitals to wedding receptions. His appearance has remained relatively unchanged since his introduction in 1990, making him one of the most recognizable and popular mascots throughout all of Major League Baseball.

History
While the Mariner Moose was the Mariners' first full-time mascot, the team previously held a mascot competition in 1979 in response to the popularity of the San Diego Chicken. The winner of the competition was "Spacey the Needle," which was a man that wore a hat resembling the top of the Space Needle while on stilts; a man in a diaper took second place. However, Spacey was plagued with mobility issues due to his stilts; the mascot was retired after only a few games. The San Diego Chicken itself was a temporary Mariners mascot for six straight games before the All-Star Game that year; his actions in one game prompted future Mariners manager Lou Piniella, then a New York Yankees player, to throw his glove at him.

In 1990, a contest for children 14 and under was held to select a mascot for the team under then-owner Jeff Smulyan, who had purchased the team from George Argyros the previous year. Out of 2,500 entries received, the club chose the "Mariner Moose," originally submitted by Ammon Spiller of Bellingham, Washington, then a fifth-grader at Central Elementary School in nearby Ferndale; he and his school were each rewarded with a $1,000 check. The runner-up was "Seaward the Sea Monster," proposed by Grant Weaver of Ben Franklin Elementary in Redmond; he received a $500 check as a consolation prize. Spiller and Weaver, along with their families, also received tickets for a Mariners game, as did three other finalists and their families.

The Moose made his debut during the Mariners' home opener on April 13, 1990, dancing on the field in front of a sell-out crowd at the Kingdome to the tune of "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" by Timbuk 3. However, his introduction was not warmly received; Mariners fans repeatedly chanted, "Kill the Moose," during the game. The reception remained very negative throughout the first two months of the season; not even a world record attempt on May 6 for the longest indoor flight could improve the Moose's reputation. As a result, the team reportedly sent him to Philadelphia to take lessons from the Phillie Phanatic, the official mascot for the Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball team.

Rollerblading behind an ATV was commonplace for the Moose during his tenure at the Kingdome, though this performance on the stadium's AstroTurf resulted in a notorious incident in 1995 (see below). It was a fan favorite until the Mariners moved to T-Mobile Park (then Safeco Field) in 1999 with a natural grass playing surface accompanying the place. Since then, the Moose has become quite adept at driving his own ATV around T-Mobile Park's warning track while performing various tricks, such as performing backflips off his ATV or having water coolers emptied on him by bullpen pitchers.

In light of the 1996 United States presidential election, Nike developed a television ad campaign that year entitled "Griffey in '96" wherein Mariners outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. was running for President, with the Mariner Moose as his running mate.

The Mariner Moose was featured on the ballot for the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2006 and 2007.

Incidents
During the 1995 American League Division Series between the Mariners and the New York Yankees, the Moose gained national attention when, in the middle of the fifth inning in Game 4, he crashed into the outfield wall at the Kingdome while being towed on inline skates behind an ATV in the outfield. The person portraying the Moose, Brett Rhinehardt, suffered a compound fracture of his right ankle as well as a dislocated fibula. Incidentally, the Mariners' subsequent opponent in the Championship Series, the Cleveland Indians, also had their mascot, Slider, suffer an injury with torn knee ligaments in that series.

During a Mariners home game at then-Safeco Field versus the Boston Red Sox on August 5, 2007, the Mariner Moose was riding his ATV in the middle of the fifth inning when he collided with Coco Crisp, who did not notice him as he was leaving the Red Sox dugout. Crisp was clipped on the knee by the ATV and stumbled briefly, but was not angered by the incident despite the ire of some of his teammates; he even played along by feigning retaliation with a fake throw of his glove at the Moose. Despite Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi quickly apologizing to Red Sox counterpart Terry Francona, the Mariner Moose portrayer was not punished for the incident.

Portrayers
The Mariner Moose was originally portrayed by Tiger Budbill, who continued to do so until the 1994 season ended with the players' strike. He subsequently worked as a singer and waiter at a restaurant in the nearby city of Kirkland, and he would go on to compete in season one of the U.S. version of The X Factor as a resident of the city of Bothell. However, he temporarily resumed the role after the ATV incident in 1995, holding it until the start of the 1996 season.

Brett Rhinehardt took over the portrayal of the Mariner Moose at the beginning of the 1995 season; after sustaining the ankle injury in the ATV crash that season, he attempted to quickly resume his duty by fashioning an old Mariner Moose costume with a cutout for his cast despite the team encouraging him not to rush his recovery. He held the role until the conclusion of the 1998 season, after which he assumed the portrayal of Gnash, the mascot of the then-new Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League.

Newbury Castle

Newbury Castle is the name of an English adulterine castle built by John Marshal during The Anarchy. It is located west of the town of Newbury in the English county of Berkshire. The Castle is mentioned in L'Histoire de Guillaume le Marechal ('History of William the Marshal') wherein it describes King Stephen as besieging the castle in 1152 and holding Marshal's son, William Marshal, as a hostage against Newbury's surrender. When the elder Marshal refused to comply, Stephen threatened to have the young boy catapulted over the walls. John, ("that child of hell and root of all evil" according to Henry of Huntingdon) responded defiantly, "I have the anvils and the hammer to forge still better sons." King Stephen wasn't so heartless though—he relented and the boy survived.

Despite appearing proudly on the town's coat of arms, Newbury Castle does not appear to have been built in Newbury at all, but four miles away in the village of Hamstead Marshall. There, the mottes of three castles can be found, which would be consistent with the general tactics of siege warfare during this medieval period.

Batman Returns (video games)

Batman Returns is the name of several video games for various platforms based on the 1992 film of the same name.

The Sega console versions (i.e. Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Master System and Game Gear) were published by Sega while the MS-DOS and Amiga versions were published by Konami and developed by Spirit of Discovery and Denton Designs respectively. An Atari ST version by Konami was also advertised, but never released.

Sega
The Sega Genesis and Sega CD versions of the game are more or less identical, as they are both two-dimensional platforming games similar in design to Sega's 1990 movie-based Batman game. The Genesis version of the game was released on December 29, 1992, during the same time Ecco the Dolphin was released for the Sega Genesis as well. The CD version of the game features a number of 3D racing levels that took advantage of the graphics hardware provided by the Sega CD unit, plus improved music in the form of CD audio with a number of animations featuring original artwork (not film photos). While different versions follow the movie's plot from start to finish, the Sega versions start after The Penguin kills the Ice Princess and frames Batman for killing her, as shown in the game's introductions.

The Master System and Game Gear versions of the game are side-scrolling platform games, but the titles were created independently of the 16-bit versions. This version featured a unique branched level system, allowing players to choose from an easy and difficult route. The latter typically forced players to use rope swinging to navigate over large floorless areas in these versions of levels. The music was composed by Motohiro Kawashima under the supervision of Yuzo Koshiro, and was one of his first soundtracks for a game; he utilized Music Macro Language to program the music, with assistance from Koshiro.

Konami
The DOS version of the game, published by Konami, differs considerably from the other versions, in that it was not primarily an action game, rather an adventure game.

The Amiga version of the game was a subject of considerable controversy. GameTek had, prior to the game's release, sent a number of screenshots derived from the PC title to market the game. As such, a number of computer magazines previewed the game as direct conversion of the PC adventure. The reality, however, was very different. The game was, contrary to expectations, not a conversion of the PC title, but a side-scrolling platform game akin to the console games. It was plagued with bugs, including very inaccurate collision detection.

Reception
In his review of the Genesis version, Boy Blunder of GamePro described the controls as "a tad cumbersome at first, but playable after practice", and felt that they were "a step down from Sunsoft's cart". He remarked that the visuals were "too muted to win an award", though said that the backgrounds were "well-drawn" and admired the occasional effects, particularly the "bizarre diagonal scrolling in Act I's cutaway building". He was apathetic toward the music and had a mixed response to the sound effects, explaining that "some of the effects, such as the thunderstorm, are hot, but others are not. The death bleep for the enemies is particularly grating".

Sister Sinister appreciated the Game Gear version's "wonderfully elaborate and colorful" graphics and varied soundtrack, though noted that Batman is "small and a little hard on the eyes".

The Sega CD version received middling reviews. The Tummynator of GamePro described the graphics as "unimpressive", elaborating that the backgrounds and sprites were colored with similar dark palettes, which made the game "muddy and hard to see". He further described the music as "average Bat bebop" and the sound effects as "below CD quality", and said that the three Batmobile-centered levels were the only bonus for those who have already played the Genesis version. The reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly commended the Sega CD version's driving levels and soundtrack, but derided the side-scrolling sections as weak. The Mega-CD version was a bestseller in the UK.

Entertainment Weekly gave the game an A and wrote: "Forget about the tortured dualities of good and evil – this is a rousing, jump and-shoot-action game, whose main links with the movie are in its dark backgrounds and Tim Burton-inspired character design".

The 1992 titles together were awarded Best License of the Year by Electronic Gaming Monthly.

Ty Law

Tajuan Edward "Ty" Law (born February 10, 1974) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback for 15 seasons in the National Football League (NFL), primarily with the New England Patriots. He played college football for the Michigan Wolverines and was selected by the Patriots in the first round of the 1995 NFL draft. During his 10 seasons in New England, he received four Pro Bowl selections and two first-team All-Pro honors. A three-time Super Bowl winner with the Patriots, Law also holds the franchise record for interceptions. Law spent his final five seasons as a member of the New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, and Denver Broncos, earning a fifth Pro Bowl selection with the Jets. Ranking 24th in NFL career interceptions, he twice led the league in interceptions during the 1998 and 2005 seasons. He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2019.

Early years
Law attended Aliquippa High School in Aliquippa, in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he played football and basketball, and ran track. He played in football as a cornerback, safety, wide receiver, and running back. He was named MVP of the school's basketball team.

Tony Dorsett, a Hall of Fame running back, is Law's uncle. Law spent summers in Dallas with Dorsett while he was growing up.

College career
Law had a three-year stint at the University of Michigan, where he lettered three years in a row (1992–94), earned first-team All-American honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation as a junior, and was a two-time unanimous All-Big Ten Conference selection. He was on the cover of the October 3, 1994, issue of Sports Illustrated, though it was an ignominious honor; he is the defender over whom Colorado Buffaloes receiver Michael Westbrook is leaping on the famous Miracle at Michigan play. Following his junior year, he left Michigan to enter the 1995 NFL Draft due to financial hardship after his grandfather declared bankruptcy.

He finished his college career with 154 tackles [120 solo, 34 assist], six interceptions, and 17 passes defended.

1995
The New England Patriots selected Law in the first round (23rd overall) of the 1995 NFL draft. Law was the second cornerback drafted in 1995 after Fort Valley State's Tyrone Poole. Poole later joined Law on the Patriots in 2003.

On July 20, 1995, the New England Patriots signed Law to a five-year, $5.50 million contract. Throughout training camp, Law competed to be a starting cornerback against Maurice Hurst. Head coach Bill Parcells named Law the third cornerback on the Patriots’ depth chart, behind Ricky Reynolds and Hurst.

He made his professional regular-season debut in the New England Patriots’ season-opener against the Cleveland Browns, ironically against Bill Belichick. On October 1, 1995, Law earned his first career start and made four combined tackles during a 30–17 loss at the Atlanta Falcons in week 4. He missed two games (weeks 8–9) due to an injury. Law became a starting cornerback in week 12 after the Patriots released Maurice Hurst. On November 26, 1995, Law made six combined tackles, deflected a pass, and made his first career interception against the Buffalo Bills off of Jim Kelly. In week 15, he collected a season-high eight combined tackles, broke up a pass deflection, and intercepted a pass attempt by Jets’ quarterback Boomer Esiason during a 31–28 win against the New York Jets. He made an interception in three consecutive games since taking over the starting role. In week 17, he collected a season-high eight solo tackles and made his first career sack during a 10–7 loss at the Indianapolis Colts. Law sacked Colts’ quarterback Jim Harbaugh for a six-yard loss during the first quarter. He finished his rookie season in 1995 with 47 combined tackles (40 solo), nine pass deflections, three interceptions, and one sack in 14 games and seven starts.

1996
Former Cleveland Browns head coach Bill Belichick became the assistant head coach for the New England Patriots in 1996. Law and Rickey Reynolds retained their roles as starting cornerbacks. On October 20, 1996, Law collected a season-high 12 combined tackles (10 solo) and deflected two passes during a 27–9 victory at the Indianapolis Colts in week 8. Law was inactive for three games (weeks 11–13) due to an injury. On December 8, 1996, Law recorded one tackle, deflected a pass, and returned an interception for his first career touchdown as the Patriots defeated the New York Jets 34–10 in week 15. Law intercepted a pass by Jets’ quarterback Glenn Foley that was intended for wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, and returned it for a 38-yard touchdown during the third quarter. In week 16, Law made seven solo tackles, a season-high three pass deflections, and intercepted two pass attempts by Troy Aikman during a 12–6 loss at the Dallas Cowboys. He finished the 1996 NFL season with 62 combined tackles (56 solo), nine pass deflections, three interceptions, and one touchdown in 13 games and 12 starts.

The New England Patriots finished first in the AFC East with an 11–5 record and earned a first-round bye. On January 5, 1997, Law started in his first career playoff game and made three combined tackles during a 28–3 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Divisional Round. The following week, he recorded four tackles as the Patriots defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 20–6 during the AFC Championship game. On January 26, 1997, Law started in Super Bowl XXXI and made three combined tackles during a 35–21 loss against the Green Bay Packers.

1997
On January 31, 1997, New England Patriots’ head coach Bill Parcells resigned five days after their loss in Super Bowl XXXI. On February 3, 1997, the New England Patriots announced their decision to hire San Francisco 49ers’ defensive coordinator Pete Carroll as their new head coach.

Law returned as the number-one cornerback in 1997 and started alongside Jimmy Hitchcock. In week 15, he collected a season-high nine solo tackles during a 26–20 victory at the Jacksonville Jaguars. He started in all 16 games in 1997 and made 77 combined tackles (69 solo), 11 pass deflections, and three interceptions, and was credited with half a sack.

1998
Patriots’ head coach Pete Carroll named Law and Chris Canty the starting cornerbacks to begin the regular season. On September 13, 1998, Law recorded two solo tackles, three pass deflections, intercepted two passes, and returned one for a touchdown during a 29–6 win against the Indianapolis Colts in week 2. Law intercepted a pass by Colts’ quarterback Peyton Manning that was intended for tight end Marcus Pollard, and returned it for a 59-yard touchdown during the first quarter. In week 8, Law collected a season-high seven solo tackles, deflected two passes, and made one interception during a 12–9 overtime loss at the Miami Dolphins. On November 8, 1998, Law made four combined tackles and two pass deflections, and intercepted two passes by Chris Chandler as the Patriots lost 41–10 against the Atlanta Falcons in week 10. Law started in all 16 games in 1998 and recorded 70 combined tackles (60 solo), 32 pass deflections, nine interceptions, and one touchdown. Law became the first member of the New England Patriots to lead the league in interceptions and was also voted to the 1999 Pro Bowl to mark the first of his career.

1999
On August 21, 1999, the Patriots signed Law to a six-year, $50 million contract extension that includes a signing bonus of $14 million. On October 17, 1999, Law collected a season-high nine combined tackles and two pass deflections, and returned an interception by Dolphins’ quarterback Dan Marino for a 27-yard touchdown during the first quarter of the Patriots’ 31–30 loss against the Miami Dolphins in week 6. Law missed two games (weeks 15–16) due to a broken hand. On December 29, 1999, the New England Patriots placed Law on injured reserve due to his broken hand. He finished the season with 57 combined tackles (48 solo), nine pass deflections, two forced fumbles, two interceptions, and one touchdown.

2000
On January 3, 2000, New England fired head coach Pete Carroll after they finished the season with an 8–8 record. On January 27, 2000, they announced former New York Jets’ defensive coordinator Bill Belichick as their new head coach. Belichick named Law and Antonio Langham as the starting cornerback tandem to begin 2000. In week 3, he collected a season-high nine combined tackles during a 21–13 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. On December 18, 2000, Law was stopped by U.S. Customs officials in Niagara Falls, New York, while crossing the Rainbow Bridge. During the routine inspection, officials found three whole ecstasy pills and four that were partially crushed. Law and teammates Terry Glenn and Troy Brown were returning from visiting an adult nightclub in Canada. Federal prosecutors declined to prosecute Law due to the small amount. U.S. Customs seized the drug and fined Law $700. On December 20, 2000, New England Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick announced his decision to suspend Law for the final game of the season. He finished the season with 74 combined tackles (58 solo), 11 pass deflections, and two interceptions in 15 games and 15 starts.

2001–2002
The New England Patriots hired Romeo Crennel as their new defensive coordinator. Law returned as the number-one starting cornerback and started alongside Otis Smith.

Law earned his first Super Bowl ring with the Patriots in 2001. In Super Bowl XXXVI, he intercepted a Kurt Warner pass and returned it 47 yards for a touchdown, the first points of the game for the Patriots, who eventually won the game 20–17.

2003
Law was voted to the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive year and for the fourth time in his career after the 2003 season. In 2003, he was part of a record-breaking Patriots defense that led the NFL in four key categories - opponents’ points per game (14.9), opponents’ passer rating (56.2), interceptions (29), and passing touchdowns surrendered (11). His physical play against some of the game's best receivers prompted the NFL to more strictly enforce the five-yard illegal contact rule on defensive backs after the 2003 season. In the AFC Championship Game against the Colts, Law intercepted three passes from Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, assisting his team to a 24–14 win and their second Super Bowl appearance in three years, where they defeated the Carolina Panthers 32–29.

2004
Law earned his third Super Bowl ring with the Patriots in 2004, but missed the final nine games of the season and all three of the Patriots' playoff games due to a foot injury.

2005
On February 25, 2005, Law was released by the Patriots due to his $12.551 million cap salary. Since then, he has represented the Patriots in a few games as an honorary team captain. In 2014, he was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.

New York Jets
On August 8, 2005, the New York Jets signed Law to a three-year contract as an unrestricted free agent. The contract had incentives that could pay Law $28 million over the first three years and also has options that total $50 million over seven years. He then went on to have one of his best years there, gaining a career-high 10 interceptions. He was also the only Jet voted into the Pro Bowl (Jonathan Vilma was named to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement to Miami's Zach Thomas, not by means of popular vote by the fans). Law was released by the New York Jets on February 22, 2006 as the Jets were a projected $26 million over the salary cap for 2006. He was due to make $7.6 million in 2006.

Kansas City Chiefs
On July 25, 2006, Law signed a five-year contract worth $30 million. He reunited with coach Herman Edwards, under whom Law had played in the 2005 season hoping to strengthen the Chiefs' defense.

Second stint with Jets
On November 10, 2008, Law agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the New York Jets. Following the end of season, the Jets once again released him on February 24, 2009.

Denver Broncos
Law signed with the Denver Broncos on November 7, 2009. This added to a defensive backfield that had five members over 30 years of age, with 20 Pro Bowl selections combined. His final game with the Broncos came on January 3, 2010. He finished the season with 10 tackles and one interception run back for 37 yards. He was released by the Broncos on February 24, 2010.

His time in Denver was short and uneventful, only lasting a season. It was his second choice, as he would have preferred to play in New England, but signed with Denver. Even though his last season was in Denver, Law stated, "I am a Patriot for life."

Retirement
After retiring from the NFL, Law founded Launch Trampoline Park, a chain of entertainment facilities based around large areas of connected trampolines. Launch currently has franchised locations across New England, with one park open in Delaware. The website of its Rhode Island location reports that Law makes frequent appearances there, where he participates in games of trampoline dodgeball with customers.

On May 19, 2014, Law was announced as the 2014 Patriots Hall of Fame Inductee. He was inducted on August 1. On February 2, 2019, he was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2019; he was inducted on August 3, 2019, in Canton, Ohio.
