Talk:Mary Kay Bergman

Mrs. Cartman's name
IMDb has Mrs. Cartman's name as "Liane", while it's spelled both "Liane" and "Lianne"  at South Park Studios' site. It's never spelled "Luanne", though; if there's a source for the latter, please post it. --Arteitle 05:42, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)

Best Known?
Is she really best known for South Park? I seem to recall that she has a long history of voice work in a variety of old cartoons. Is this something worth researching and adding into here? --Xquester

I think she's best known for South Park. I realize her career was more than that, but South Park just sticks out to me. After all, the South Park characters, according to findagrave.com, are on her grave. Jbm867 05:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

who replaced her?
So who has replaced her in South Park? Is the voice difference obvious?--Sonjaaa 23:23, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Eliza Schneider replaced her.

Less Known but Notable
Fans of interactive computer games of the 1990s may recognize her work if they'd played the Palladium Interactive send up of X-Files, known as "X-Fools." Bergman performed the Gillian Anderson-like voice of Detective Dede Scudder, as well as other voices. She also did voices for titles such as Leisure Suit Larrys 6 & 7, Sierra's Gabriel Knight, she did all the female parts for Nine Worlds featuring Patrick Stewart, The Curse of Monkey Island, and many more. Besides being the official Snow White voice for Disney in 1989, Bergman could imitate a host of other familiar voices. She had an unique talent of replicating the voices of well known names like Marilyn Monroe, Cher, Catherine Deneuve, Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Alanis Morrissette, Jewel, Annie Lennox, Helen Hunt, Holly Hunter, Alfre Woodard, Joan Cusack, Eartha Kitt, Melissa Gilbert, Elizabeth Taylor, and even a young Macaulay Culkin. She had a pheomenally versatile singing voice as well.

In Weird Al Yankovic's CD title Running With Scissors, Bergman was the voice of the "Gentile Chick" on the third track of the album, Pretty Fly For A Rabbi. Her voice over work was also featured in hundreds of commercials. Chances are you still hear her today, but don't know it. She also trained a many others in voice over workshops where she taught others how to do what she did. There's a lot more about her at (see ).

 * Who did she voice in Leisure Suit Larry? Coolgamer (talk) 03:08, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Marital Status
Marital status, should it say "deceased" or summat? JayKeaton 13:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Motives for suicide?
There is a clear lack of suggestions for motive behind suicide. Did she suffer from depression? Was there some traumatic event that triggered it? Or mayhaps, is a lack of evidence responsible?

 * Agreed. Does anyone have more information on this? Jackryan 21:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

 * IMDb says she had depression, which she kept hidden from everybody else. Nqnpipnr 18:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Did she take psychotropic drugs for her depression? If so, were those drugs the cause of a deeper depression leading her to kill herself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.3.37.68 (talk) 19:47, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Unique Gravemarker?
This sentence seems odd: Mary Kay Bergman was laid to rest under one of the most unique gravemarkers at... - What makes it unique? Why is it unique? how is it different from the other gravemarkers around and where does this unique claim come from? -Gohst (talk) 11:27, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Here is a picture of the grave marker: . I don't see anything unique about it, so I removed the sentence. Paul Studier (talk) 05:50, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Keeping it encyclopaedic
I'd keep an eye on that fact that this is an encyclopaedia article, not a piece designed for promoting, memorialising or celebrating Bergman. Most of the sources currently given do not look that solid. The main memorial site could be considered a fansite. Objective third party sources - biography, newspapers are preferable. Span (talk) 19:16, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Conflicting depression statements
There are conflicting statements within the article regarding Ms Bergman's depression.

In the lede section: "Bergman suffered from depression, which was caused by her mother having cancer, and job-related stress."

In the "Illness and death" section: "Bergman had been suffering from bipolar and generalized anxiety disorders, which she hid from her family, friends, and co-stars. Because her mother was diagnosed with cancer, Bergman's depression was mistaken as a reaction to her mother's illness along with job-related stress.[22] Andrade said that he found herbal mood medications that Bergman had hidden in their home.[23]"

To contemplate killing oneself requires a lot of inner pain and self-loathing. The "Illness and death" section sounds like it's much more likely and is sourced, to boot. I suggest reworking the lede to reflect the sourced information. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 03:04, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Post hoc ergo propter hoc in the lead
I changed a small section of the lead section. Just because she suffered from depression and committed suicide and suicide is linked to depression, doesn't mean that we can claim that her depression caused her to commit suicide, doubly so without a source. It is a clear case of post hoc ergo propter hoc to try to make the connection and short of someone who can go back in time, or possibly has access to her suicide notes, we won't know with the certainty needed to make the link.

"Committed Suicide" vs "Took Own Life"
I've had two edits reverted in which I changed the phrase "committed suicide" to "took her own life". Now, I have my own opinions about the use of the phrase "committed suicide" (I believe it stigmatizes the victim) and if you have a different opinion, that's fine with me. But the fact that remains that "to take one's own life" is a widely-accepted phrase, not some politically-correct euphemism, and an editor should be able to use it. There's no reason to revert my edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riverhugger (talk • contribs)

 * The term "committed suicide" by no means "stigmatizes the victim"; it simply is just a straight forward indication one intentionally killed themself. It's also less wordy than "took her own life". SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 10:47, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Like I said, it's fine if you have a different opinion. But it sounds like the only reason you had to revert my edit was that it's more wordy, which barely seems like a valid reason. Why not leave it in place? Riverhugger (talk) 15:23, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Also - I do not expect you to agree with my opinion, as it's not really important to this discussion, but just FYI, this is where I derive my opinion from. It's rather widely-held. Long story short, "committed" implies a crime, and indeed suicide has historically been treated as a crime, thus stigmatizing those who kill themselves.

 * That's an oversimplified take on "committed"; it doesn't necessarily involve crime (i.e. one can commit to a goal, commit time to something, or commit to a relationship). Using "took her own life" is beating around the bush. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 17:08, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Like I say, I understand if you don't agree, but why does that mean you're so against using a different wording? Because it uses a couple more words than the status quo? Riverhugger (talk) 17:33, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * More because what you inserted was trying to sugar-coat the matter. Wikipedia isn't supposed to be a place for doing that with unpleasant matters. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:14, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Perhaps "killed herself" would be a better compromise as suggested by Binksternet? I'd be fine with that.

 * I'd be fine with that. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:19, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

 * We should not be saying "committed suicide" in any situation that is outside of the discussion of suicide as a crime. If we are being neutral about people who kill themselves, we say they took their own life or killed themselves. Suicide is a crime that can be committed, which is an extra stigma laid upon the action. Binksternet (talk) 18:02, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

mkbmemorial site
Hello, I am unclear why this memorial site used throughout the article: http://www.mkbmemorial.com/ appears to be a memorial site dedicated to the basketball player kobe bryant. Paticularly, as it is being used to back up various claims about mary kay bergman's life.--Markensoft (talk) 14:21, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

 * The domain used to be a Mary Kay Bergman memorial site, but it appears the domain expired a while ago and was recently made into a Kobe Bryant memorial site. But I agree they should either have the Web Archive versions sourced or find different sources. Elhenzo (talk) 09:27, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

MUGEN credit
I have removed the credit for game engine M.U.G.E.N.. As far as I can tell, there was no original voice acting in any official release, though fans may have scraped her voice from existing sources.SaidSwans (talk) 13:33, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Death
Why does it say "pronounced dead in the hospital"? She shot herself at home and was pronounced dead right before Dino and John returned. --2601:204:C500:3B8:A18D:3C80:9E87:D63B (talk) 16:37, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Jimmy Neutron credit
How do we know she was an additional voice in the Jimmy Neutron movie? There is nowhere in the credits that says anything about additional voices, nor is there a reference. Also, production started after her passing from what I hear. --2601:204:C500:3B8:DDCF:7E2F:8FBB:A315 (talk) 21:39, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I've removed that listing as a dubious inclusion. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:07, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Disneyland 45th Radio Program Source?
There's no source for the claim that she was on a Disneyland radio show the morning before her death. Gonna research this claim later but I feel this was notable for a topic discussion. MantleM (talk) 01:01, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 4 September 2022
Please add two wikilinks in Early Life, second paragraph, change: cels to cels Fleischer to Fleischer

Her parents performed as a singing duo at lounges and clubs in Reno and Las Vegas and in Los Angeles. They settled in Los Angeles after her mother became pregnant. Characterizing her mother's previous work inking and painting cels for Fleischer, Bergman said it was a mechanical task, but it piqued her mother's interest in animation that was shared with Bergman years later by watching Saturday morning cartoon series with her. Among Bergman's favorite series were Jonny Quest, The Flintstones, and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, which she considered a "precursor to The Simpsons."

Times don’t add up
It says she was last “seen” alive at 9pm from a phone call (?) and that she was found by her husband an hour and 20 minutes later, but declared dead at the hospital at 10:18pm, so unless the ambulance was a DeLorean…

Also, just out of curiosity, was there any speculation that it was anything other than a suicide? Should there have been? 😬 76.174.245.26 (talk) 07:27, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Conversion to Roman Catholicism
Why has this been removed? Urgeback (talk) 10:28, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

I can't find a reliable source that she converted. Also I'm curious if both of her parents were actually Jewish since her mother's surname was McGowan. BenStein69 (talk) 16:10, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

One cannot determine solely based on last name whether someone is or isn't Jewish, but unless this feels adequate to use or a better thing comes along, I'm hesitant to reinstate a conversion. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:31, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Child Actress?
Bergman (Born June 5, 1961) was 17 when her debut, was released. 108.45.88.77 (talk) 00:02, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

 * That instead makes her a teenage actress; calling Bergman a "child actress" would imply she started acting before the age of 13. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 00:06, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Hack writer
Redirecting hack writer to hack makes no sense to me. The page titled hack is a hideous mess that obviously needs to become a disambiguation page; it treats various nearly unrelated meanings of the word hack, as if it were supposed to be a dictionary entry. I think we ought to move hack (disambiguation) to hack, and have hack link to (among other things) hack writer. Michael Hardy 00:58, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Red vs Blue
Yeah, sorry about that. I probably shouldn't have just reverted your edit. I was in a bad/bossy/whiny mood that day...anyway, you can change it back if you didn't already and I can make any edits that I feel are necessary. bob rulz 20:33, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

Votes for deletion/Anal masturbation
Thanks for tagging the votes on Votes for deletion/Anal masturbation, I considered doing it myself when I fixed up the VfD, but the tedium of going through the history kind of scared me off :). For what it's worth, you make an excellent policeman! --W(t) 00:41, 2005 May 28 (UTC)

Kobayashi Maru
Looking back through the edit history you amended the line "Abandoning the Maru, preventing war but leaving the crew and passengers to die." to "Abandoning the Maru, preventing war but leaving the crew and passengers to die. Some cadets choose this option, but doing so almost certainly results in a lower grade." Do you have a source for the information that choosing to not enter the neutral zone results in a lower grade? I can't recall ever seeing/reading that anywhere? Thankyou Djbrianuk 19:52, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Got your reply, thanks. I'm still dubious - I think NOT going in is the harder decision to make. It would take a certain maturity of judgement to decide that risking triggering a major war with the Klingons outweighed the lives on the freighter. In the (non-canon) novel "The Kobiyashi Maru" Sulu almost had a mutiny on his hands when he refused to breach the neutral zone to rescue the ship. I think the grade would be based on your overall command performance. However I'll leave the sentence in while I do some research. I'll also move this discussion to the article talkspace. Thanks for replying Djbrianuk 09:42, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation of names
Hi. I have reverted some of your pronunciation rules for Song of Ice and Fire. The main reason is that GRRM has explicitly not given any rules for how his characters are pronounced, and Wikipedia cannot introduce a norm and attribute it to the author. (Anyway, to make the information verifiable, you need to include a source, see WP:V, remember that somewhat paradoxically, verifiability, not truth is the most important aspect of Wikipedia information). That being said, I have big sympathies for the idea to have such guidelines, and tried to do something like that. I think I have found a good form (that is descriptive, not normative) on A Song of Ice and Fire and encourage you to add pronunciations to that list. Best, Arbor 08:32, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Flamarande
Hi, I made a few userboxes about ASoIaF, you can see them at Userboxes/Books and use them at your leisure. I am not finished yet, but eventually I am going to make boxes for all the Houses and perhaps some more ( Nightswatch, etc ). If you understand enough about userboxer you can even improve them. If not, then just "pass the word" about it (please). Flamarande 14:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature. When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. —Viriditas | Talk 07:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Wing Commander Reorganization
Hey, I saw your proposal on the Wing Commander page - you really summed up what myself and a lot of other people have been feeling for quite some time. I'd be interested in helping restructure the page to a less horribly confusing and hopefully rather more accurate standard - contact me on talk or at bobmcdob at gmail.com if you're interested.

The trouble of the Hellcat V and Longbow
Hi Marblespire! I saw you have redirected most of the Wing Commander ship articles into their respective games. That's OK with me (the TCS Victory is the first article I wrote...). The slightly troublesome ones are the Hellcat V and Longbow. Those fighters are also flown by the player in Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom. The Arrow, Thunderbolt and Excalibur are in that game too, but only as enemies. Sjakkalle (Check!)  10:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Wing Commander character bios redirects
Hi Marblespire, I have noticed you've been redirecting several WC articles to the corresponding game article. IMHO these redirects point to articles which contain very few info on the characters when compared to the bios articles. Should we expand the characters section in the WC3, WC4, etc... articles to include extended info? I fear this solution would result in an excessive expansion of the game articles and I'd like better to leave the bios as they were. Any suggestion? Thanks. Berserker79 11:14, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your reply. I've posted my comments on talk:Wing Commander (computer game) as well. I'll be glad to help out in completing some of the missing articles, I'm going to check out the list and get to work. ;) Berserker79 10:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * False Colors
 * Hello again! I've written a part of a False Colors article at User:Berserker79/b79sandbox. It's still quite incomplete, but if you've got a few spare moments, I'd like to hear your opinion. In particular I'm concerned with the plot lenght: so far I've been going for quite a detailed recount of the story, but I fear it would be too long. I'd really appreciate some advice on the matter if you've got the time. Thank you. Berserker79 10:47, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * re: False Colors
 * The False Colors article is now up on its page. To keep it in line with other WC books related articles a "Weapon Systems" section should be added however. I've also tried to keep the story lenght to a reasonable amount in case we don't want the article size to be eccessive. I've hunted down some typos/spelling errors: hope I've got 'em all! :)
 * BTW, I'm also a Crusader fan, it's still one of my all-time favs and I work on Crusader related articles from time to time. Berserker79 14:10, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Thrawn Campaign
While I do agree with both the merge and the cleanup, please do not assume that it was written by a twelve-year-old. I know fifty-year-olds who can't write.

Also, some of your cleanup edits were somewhat unencyclopedic. Wikipedia should be succinct, and this often results in somewhat dry prose. Nevertheless, dry does not always necessarily mean bad. Just thought I'd give you a heads up before stiring up a hornet's hive.

I set up merge tags, because I do agree that it's basically a summary of the entire trilogy. — Deckill e r 23:00, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Abrial A-2 Vautour

The A-2 Vautour (Vulture) was a single-seat French glider that was designed by Georges Abrial. It performed well at the Vauville competition of 1925.

Design
The Vautour was designed by Georges Abrial of the Institut aérotechnique de Saint-Cyr and built by Louis Peyret. Each wing, joined to a centre-section on top of the fuselage with light dihedral, had a rectangular plan apart from an angled tip and carried a broad chord aileron which filled about 60% of the span. They were of mixed construction with two rectangular section dural spars and plywood ribs. Each wing was braced with a pair of parallel struts, dural tubes enclosed in streamlined, wooden fairings, between the lower fuselage longerons and the wing spars just inside the ailerons.

Its fuselage was rectangular in section, with spruce longerons and laminated wood frames. The sides were everywhere vertical but ahead of the wing it narrowed in plan and decreased in depth to a rounded nose. The downward sloping upper surface here was not flat but curved, formed from thin aluminium sheet. The pilot's open cockpit was just in front of the leading edge, with a rubber-cord restrained canvas sheet between him and the aluminium surface, intended as protection in a crash. It contained some basic instrumentation, including an airspeed indicator and an altimeter, both with sensors well above the wing centre-section on a mast, as well as a compass.

The horizontal tail of the Vautour, mounted at mid-fuselage height, was similar in plan to the wing. The tailplane was much narrower than the one piece elevator. The fin was likewise narrower than the rudder and together had a rhomboidal profile, allowing elevator clearance below. Both surfaces were wood-framed and ply covered, with the exception of the fabric covered rudder.

Its landing gear was very simple, with wheels close to the sides on a split axle mounted within the fuselage. Rubber cord shock absorbers were used and the tailskid was also mounted elastically.

Operational history
The date of the first flight of the Vautour is not known but it made its first major public appearance in the meeting held at Vauville from 22 July to 11 August 1925. The competition included both gliders and low-powered aircraft. The Vautour, flown by Auger, gained the prize for greatest altitude above the starting point, reaching 720 m. It was placed second in a competition to fly the maximum number of 1 km laps, managing 36. It remained at Vauville after the contest and in February 1926 Auger returned to it with the intention of an attack on the altitude and distance records, as well as competing in several contests. By April the attempt had been abandoned due to unsuitable winds and the glider was dismantled and returned to Paris, with the hope of later using a site in Eure. There is no record that these attempts were made.

Talk:Hunsrik

Comment
Dear Carlos,

Thank you for your interest in a subject that matters very much to me. I grew up speaking Riograndenser Hunsrückisch and it was a great pleasure to write about it here in Wikipedia. I intend to expand this article with time.

I would like to ask you to please reconsider your "Riograndenser Hunsrückisch language" redirect and revert it to its original "Riograndenser Hunsrückisch". Could you please do that? Thanks!

Let me explain something further: "Riograndenser Hunsrückisch" is not a 'language' per se but a Germanic 'dialect'.

Although "Riograndenser Hunsrückisch" sometimes is called simply "Hunsrückisch" in southern Brazil, this could be confusing to readers here in Wikipedia because "Hunsrückisch" is a dialect which originated in Germany and is still being spoken there to this day. Obviously here are differences between the two variants.

Thanks again!

Brazilian attitude towards German

 * During the War, German immigrants in Brazil were prohibited from speaking German in public, lest they be imprisoned as political prisoners.

Would Stefan Zweig be affected? --Error 01:21, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

hunsruck language declining
it is true, for a long time, the German-Brazilian language was declining. Today the young people are again proud of their language. So I suppose that there will be continuing interest in maintaining this very interesting language. I like to compare it with the Alsace language, which is partly German and partly French. So is Riograndenser Hunsrückisch: Brazilian-Portuguese grammar and words mixed with an old German dialect.

Page title
According to ISO 639-3 this language is called in English either Hunsrik, Hunsriker or Rio Grand Hunsriker. As this is an English Wikipedia one of these should be used. The other two and the current page should be made redirects to that page. --88.113.36.73 (talk) 04:23, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You are right that it is German, which makes sense since presumably standard German is the literary language used by the speakers of this language or dialect. (Unless they use Portuguese, which is of course a distinct language.) They seem to use the term Hunsrickisch themselves. Unless I am having problems with false friends (unlikely, as I can understand Hunsriksch speakers on YouTube pretty well, coming from a region not far away from Hunsrück in Germany), Hunsrik really means Hunsrück, Hunsriker means a person or people from Hunsrück, and Rio Grand Hunsriker means people from Hunsrück living at the Rio Grande. It is of course always possible that terms from one language get established in another language as terms for something slightly different, but I don't think the Ethnologue entry is sufficient evidence for this. The only cited reference is in Portuguese and calls it "lingua Hunsrik falada na América do Sul". Hunsrik language would make sense, though, and we could consider it supported by that source.
 * TLDR version: Let's move the article either to Hunsrickisch (self-designation) or to Hunsrik language. Hans Adler 06:17, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Late PS: I guess Rio Grande should appear in the title to prevent confusion with the Hunsrück dialect in Germany. Hans Adler 22:22, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2016 uses Hunsrik, as do some other language websites (besides Ethnologue): Joshua Project, etymology.ch. It is also listed as "Hunsrik" in the ISO 639-3 documentation. However, "Riograndenser Hunsrückisch" seems to be more common in English language sources. (With a topic this obscure it's likely some of that use is due to Wikipedia's use, though.) "Hunsriker" seems to be almost completely unused in English sources. Kaldari (talk) 20:10, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Title for 2nd part of Sample section is confusing/misleading
The second iteration of the Gospel of Luke passage, which appears after the Riograndenser Hunsrückisch (Ursula Wiesemann orthography) sample, currently bears the title/heading "The same text in a spelling based on Standard German spelling:". This raises the expectation that the passage under this title will also be in Riograndenser Hunsrückisch (RH), but spelled using an orthography based on that of standard German. However, the passage shown there is fully in standard German; it is not merely "in a spelling based on Standard German spelling". The heading should read something more like, "The same passage in standard German:", as "the same text" (emphasis mine) implies the exact same RH words, and "in a spelling based on Standard German spelling" definitely indicates the passage is merely spelled in a manner more familiar to readers of standard German (while not actually being in standard German). '''→What was the intent of the person who created this? Do you want RH here in a Standard-like orthography, or do you want standard German?''' Either the heading or the sample text needs to be changed accordingly.--IfYouDoIfYouDon't (talk) 20:59, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * In fact, this is Standard German according to the Schlachter Bible. I went ahead and changed this in the article. Andreas  (T) 15:06, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Riograndenser Hunsrückisch German → Hunsrik – Not the most used name of the language, more bellow Imperadors (talk) 16:19, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

As mentioned before by User:88.113.36.73, ISO 639-3 defines the language as Hunsrik, both on its native, English and Portuguese forms. There are other mentions about it as Riograndenser_Hunsrückisch also, but the discussion about it is bigger than this and moving the article aims to help removing the prejudice against the language.

A review about the evolution of the current language from the dialect:

During Vargas Dictatorship (or Vargas Era) in Brazil, the use of any language other than Portuguese was forbidden, and also teaching them. In the south region, the influence of the German immigration still existed, and because of that, many people still used different dialects of German as their main language. With the prohibition, people stopped teaching the language, as anyone that was found possessing any written form of it was arrested, beaten or even killed. This created a huge prejudice against the language that still exists today. But, mainly on the countryside, the use of Germanic dialects still survived because of the oral teaching. And the Hunsrückisch dialect became the most common among the German dialects, while also absorbing many Portuguese traces.

After many years, people started to use the language in a written form again with the end of the prohibition, mainly minority ethnic groups in the countryside of these regions. But, because of the many decades without its teaching, they used the Portuguese written standard as its core, the only written form that they knew. In the last decades, some initiatives tried to document it and, if possible, standardize it. And the most successful one was the Proyëkt Hunsrik, which came into existence 16 years ago by studying how people actually used the written form of it. The main idea was to reduce the prejudice against the language by accepting how people actually used it. And, because of it, they discovered that Hunsrik has turned into an unique language for its own, different from the original dialect in both oral and written forms.

Now, the language is only officially taught as an actual written system in some municipalities, and all of them adopt this written standard and refer to the language mainly as "Hunsrik". These municipalities are also the among the only places recognizing the actual language and thriving to preserve it. On the other hand, there are some efforts to remove the Portuguese influence in the language and make it only a German dialect again, this has strong influences of the prejudice that the language suffered during the years by treating the actual Hunsrik language as "wrong" and "from the countryside".

There are now entire books, dictionaries and even an ongoing translation o the bible (expected to release next year). And on all these efforts, the language is referred mainly as "Hunsrik" to maintain the Portuguese influence which define the language as unique. Even many scientific English sources call it Hunsrik in English after its standardization as a language. .

As previously referred by Hans Adler, I strongly support to move it to Hunsrik language, as we could consider it supported by that source provided (and now even more by the many sources above). But as the recent efforts made by people from WP:ENLANG to simplify it, I suggest the move to Hunsrik, as done in Arabic, Aramaic (moved from Aramaic Language), Latin and Sanskrit. This is done to make it easier to the native speakers of the language, and also to avoid the current confusion that Wikipedia has with between the Hunsrückisch dialect and the language Hunsrik. I'll later fix the article and keep the reference of its alternate name Riograndenser Hunsrückisch, but it must not be the main reference on Wikipedia, as this name is strongly criticized, as this language has also a considerable number of speakers on another states and countries.

I am opening this discussion again here because the move was not done even after the previous agreement about this change. But I'll do the change in some days, unless it's decided otherwise. Even if not to Hunsrik, the second most correct path would be to move at least to Hunsrik Language. And now is a perfect time to do the change, because after 16 years of the project, it is possible to finally find communities on social networks with up to 30.000 users writing in this language (e.g: "Hunsrik Xprooch - Plat Taytx" on facebook). Imperadors (talk) 16:19, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

 * I support, as you've given sufficient arguments to change the page name, and because Riograndenser Hunsrückisch German isn't the name of the language in English, but it's old name + German. - Iohanen (talk) 21:04, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Note I have reopened this discussion because it was improperly closed by the same user as the one who started it. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 22:49, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

 * The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Places where the language is spoken
Imperadors Stop adding unsourced information that this language is also spoken in Paraguay, Argentina and Venezuela. Why would people speak this in Venezuela, which borders Northern Brazil, when this language is restricted to Southern Brazil, thousands of miles away from Venezuela? Xuxo (talk) 18:49, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Xuxo, thanks for your contribution in the article and also for your comments. I think you didn't read the references included in the article pointing these facts. For Argentina and Paraguay, you can clearly see it here. In case you don't want to go through the whole document, pages 33, 47, 50, 52, 120 and 180 describe the extension of the language in these regions and also its migration process. This is one of the biggest researches about the language and currently the most reliable source that you can get about it. For these places, there is no doubt about the use of the language. In Venezuela's case, I included it by referencing some papers and, as far as I know, all of them point to Ethnologue's research about Hunsrik. You can find this one here. And considering Ethnologue's bad reputation, I really agree of removing Venezuela from the list. -- Imperadors (talk) 23:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lake Forest High School

Lake Forest High School was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was DELETE

Non-notable high school. RickK 05:54, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. (Please have some policies concerning high schools!) Mandel 07:37, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Every time this has come up recently, it has been very, very clear that there is no consensus. Every high school article must be discussed by itself, and an individual consensus on that particular high school article formed. During these discussions many will state general principles that they believe ought to apply to high school inclusion, but currently none of them are more than individual statements. See What's in, what's out. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 18:18, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: From this, this is generic and entirely unnotable. There is a Chicago school by this name, or close to it, that might be famous, but there is a "Lake Forest" high school in dozens of cities.  Geogre 17:33, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, no evidence of notability provided. New Trier High School, by the way, is sort of notable as a plausible entry in the running for Absolutely The Very Most Top Bestest Number One Supreme Ace High School In The Entire United States If Not The World. The Harvard University of U. S. high schools as it were. I don't think "We're notable for being almost as good as New Trier" hacks it. Others I expect will differ.

 * Keep. That the school has probably had a significant role in the lives of thousands of people makes it notable to my mind.  --Iceaxejuggler 10:10, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Notable: 1. Worthy of note or notice; remarkable: notable beauty; sled dogs that are notable for their stamina. 2. Characterized by excellence or distinction; eminent: formed a commission of notable citizens. See synonyms at noted. NOUN: 1. A person of distinction or great reputation. See synonyms at celebrity. 2. often Notable One of a council of prominent persons in pre-Revolutionary France called into assembly to deliberate at times of emergency.
 * 1. Which of these definitions of "notable" does Lake Forest High School meet?
 * 2. Do you agree with Anthony that all high schools are intrinsically notable? That is, are you stating a general principle (no factual high school articles should ever be removed from Wikipedia, no matter how low the quality of the article or how unremarkable the school) or are you making a judgement on this particular article about this particular high school? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 10:50, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. Absolutely nothing of note.  When you consider that every city and town in the world has some high school or secondary school, we have to establish notability.  I wish there was a consensus, but I'm not against the idea of holding these articles up to stand on their own merit as they come in.  FWIW, I was a guest at my brother's house over the weekend and he invited me to a church service that was being held in temporary headquarters at a high school.  As far as I know, it's just another drop of a high school in a sea of high schools.  Place sure struck me as such. - Lucky 6.9 16:23, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't be surprised if this school is notable. Lake Forest is a wealthy suburb north of Chicago, and I wouldn't be the least surprised if this school has an interesting history and notable alumni. However, the article as it stands does not make the case for notability. Delete as it stands. If someone thinks they've improved the article to make the case for notability, say so here and I will look again. -- Jmabel|Talk 23:18, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)
 * Del. Non-notable. --Jerzy(t) 21:55, 2004 Oct 12 (UTC)
 * D Two addresses and a foundaiton date. IF there is something notable about the place, the clock is ticking ... Chris 06:38, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Removal of 'peacock word' notice on Mauritius page
Hi Mfolozi,

I just wanted to stop by and ask about your recent edit to the Mauritius page in which you removed a peacock word template I had added a while back, explaining my reasons for doing so on the talk page for the article. You didn't give any reason for removing the template either in your edit summary or on the talk page, and it seems to me that the concerns I raised have yet to be addressed (please refer to WP:Avoid peacock terms if you're unfamiliar with the concept).

So if you would be so kind as to add your comments either here, on the article talk page, or on my user talk page, we can move the discussion forward and come to a resolution. Thanks! --jonny-mt 02:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for replacing the template. And don't worry about missing my comment on the talk page; when I went to double-check that I had indeed commented, I noticed that I put my note at the top of the page rather than at the bottom where it belongs.  So ten demerits to me :) --jonny-mt 05:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Caption
I believe that the caption should change from “1933” to “Goebbels in 1933” because simply saying “1933” sounds incomplete. Paleontologist99 (talk) 17:52, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Abrial A-12 Bagoas

The A-12 was an unusual tailless glider designed by Georges Abrial in the early 1930s. It was not a success and was abandoned in 1932.

Design
The Abrial A-12 was unusual in having a very low aspect ratio wing, even by the standards of its time. Other tailless gliders of the 1920s, notably the Lippisch Storch series had aspect ratios of about 8, compared with the 4.75 of the Abrial. Further, where the Storchs had swept wings the Abrial's was rectangular in plan. After encouraging tests of models in the wind tunnel at St Cyr, Abrial built a full-sized version.

The Abrial's wings had the designer's own reflexed camber aerofoil. Such aerofoils are useful for tailless aircraft, because the pitching moment about the aerodynamic centre of the wing can be zero. The wings were mounted with strong dihedral and braced from above by a V-strut on each side, their apexes meeting at a faired triangular central support structure. It had control surfaces on the wings which may have operated as elevons and trapezoidal rudders mounted on triangular fins at the wing tips.

The pilot's unenclosed seat was immediately in front of the central support structure, at the centre of the wing, with his feet on a rudder bar ahead of the leading edge. The Abrial landed on a skid, with little wheels under the wing tips.

Abrial named the A-12 Bagoas, after the Persian Vizier and poisoner. Its first flights were made during the first week of July 1932. It presented so many technical problems that he abandoned development later that year.

Greater hoopoe-lark

The greater hoopoe-lark (Alaemon alaudipes) is a passerine bird which is a breeding resident of arid, desert and semi-desert regions from the Cape Verde Islands across much of northern Africa, through the Arabian peninsula, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. It was formerly known as the bifasciated lark and sometimes as the large desert lark.

Taxonomy and systematics
Formerly, the greater hoopoe-lark was classified as belonging to the genera Upupa and Certhilauda until moved to Alaemon. The name Alaemon comes from the Greek alēmōn, meaning "wanderer" (from alaomai, meaning "to wander"). The genus was established by Alexander Keyserling and Johann Heinrich Blasius in 1840.

Subspecies
Four subspecies are recognized:
 * Cape Verde greater hoopoe-lark (A. a. boavistae) - Hartert, 1917 : Found on the Cape Verde Islands
 * North African greater hoopoe-lark (A. a. alaudipes) - (Desfontaines, 1789) : Found in northern Africa from southern Morocco and Mauritania to the Sinai Peninsula
 * A. a. desertorum - (Stanley, 1814) : Originally described as a separate species in the genus Alauda. Found in north-eastern Sudan to northern Somalia, central Saudi Arabia to southern Yemen
 * Eastern greater hoopoe-lark (A. a. doriae) - (Salvadori, 1868) : Originally described as a separate species in the genus Certhilauda. Found in eastern Arabia to Iraq, Iran and north-western India

Description
This lark is large, long-legged and slender-bodied with a distinctive down-curved bill. The face has dark markings including a line through the eye and whisker like-lines from the base of bill running under the eye. The breast is spotted and the underside is buffy white while the upper-parts are sandy grey. The female is slightly smaller with less prominent markings and the bill is slightly shorter. The hind claw is short and straight. The curved upper beak has the nostril opening exposed. The tongue is bifid at the tip.

Behaviour and ecology
Birds are seen singly or in pairs as they forage by running or walking in spurts, probing and digging the ground. They have been recorded to feed on the fruiting bodies of certain fungi. The breeding season is mainly after the first rains, in India most records are from March to July. Late records in August when the rains were delayed have been noted in India. The courtship display of the male consists of rising with fluttering wing-strokes and then diving down with closed wings to a perch. The slow flappy start to the song flight recall a hoopoe for which this species is named. The striking wing pattern of black wing feathers with a white base and trailing edge; and a white tail with black outer feathers are displayed in flight. The male also sings with rising and falling notes consisting of trilled whistles and clicks that have been transcribed as a tee-tee-tee followed by a prolonged tee-hoo while nosediving. The typical call is a rolling zreee or too. The nest is a cup made up of small sticks and placed on a low bush or on the ground, sometimes at the base of a bush. The nest is prominent and often placed on an isolated bush. Two or three eggs are laid and both sexes take turns in incubation. They feed on insects and other invertebrates, small lizards and seeds. Young birds are capable of swift running even before they can fly. The female may perform distraction displays when the young or nest are threatened.

During the heat of the day, they may shelter in the burrows of Uromastyx lizards. The water loss through their skin varies with temperature and they are able to live in very arid conditions. Their breeding is dependent on the rains and in very dry years they may not breed.

Distribution and populations
The wide distribution consists of several populations that have been designated as subspecies. These include boavistae of the Cape Verde Islands, the nominate alaudipes of the north African Sahara region and northern Arabia. Subspecies desertorum has been assigned to the populations along the Red Sea coast while the eastern population of Iraq, Pakistan and north-western India are assigned to doriae. Forms like pallida and variety cinerea are included in doriae.

Act of Supremacy 1558

The Act of Supremacy 1558 (1 Eliz. 1. c. 1), sometimes referred to as the Act of Supremacy 1559, is an Act of the Parliament of England, which replaced the original Act of Supremacy 1534, and passed under the auspices of Elizabeth I. The 1534 Act was issued by Elizabeth's father, Henry VIII, which arrogated ecclesiastical authority to the monarchy, but which had been repealed by Mary I. Along with the Act of Uniformity 1558, the Act made up what is generally referred to as the Elizabethan Religious Settlement.

The Act remained in place until the 19th century, when some sections began to be repealed. By 1969, all provisions, bar section 8 (which still remains in force), had been repealed by various Acts, with the whole Act repealed in Northern Ireland between 1950 and 1953.

The Act
The Act revived ten Acts which Mary I had revoked, significantly clarified and narrowed the definition of what constituted heresy, and confirmed Elizabeth as Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Compared to Henry VIII's title of "Supreme Head", Supreme Governor avoided the blasphemous implication that Elizabeth was superior in rank to Jesus, whom the Epistle to the Ephesians identifies as head of the church.

The Act also made it a crime to assert the authority of any foreign prince, prelate, or other authority, and was aimed at abolishing the authority of the Pope in England. A third offence was high treason, punishable by death.

The Oath
The Oath of Supremacy, imposed by the act, provided for any person taking public or church office in England to swear allegiance to the monarch as Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Failure to so swear was a crime, although it did not become treason until 1562, when the  (5 Eliz. 1. c. 1) made refusal to take the oath a treasonable offence. The Oath was later extended to include Members of Parliament and those studying at universities: all but one of the bishops lost their posts and a hundred fellows of Oxford colleges were deprived, as many dignitaries resigned rather than take the oath. The bishops who were removed from the ecclesiastical bench were replaced by appointees who would agree to the reforms.

Text of the oath as published in 1559:

"I, A. B., do utterly testify and declare in my conscience that the Queen's Highness is the only supreme governor of this realm, and of all other her Highness's dominions and countries, as well in all spiritual or ecclesiastical things or causes, as temporal, and that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority ecclesiastical or spiritual within this realm; and therefore I do utterly renounce and forsake all foreign jurisdictions, powers, superiorities and authorities, and do promise that from henceforth I shall bear faith and true allegiance to the Queen's Highness, her heirs and lawful successors, and to my power shall assist and defend all jurisdictions, pre-eminences, privileges and authorities granted or belonging to the Queen's Highness, her heirs or successors, or united or annexed to the imperial crown of this realm. So help me God, and by the contents of this Book."

This had a specific impact on English Roman Catholics since it expressly indicates that they must forswear allegiance to Roman Catholicism, inasmuch as the Church of Rome was directly a foreign jurisdiction, power, superiority and authority. However, during the early years of her reign Elizabeth practised religious clemency and tolerance, which was an attempt to harmonise the state of affairs between the Roman Catholics and the Church of England. This was necessary for Elizabeth to establish her power fully, hold off threats of invasion from France and Spain, and to counter accusations of illegitimacy that plagued her early years. In the last twenty years of her reign, as the Pope issued official encouragement to topple, and even kill, Elizabeth, as Jesuits infiltrated England, and as the threat of Spanish invasion loomed, Catholics became targets for oppression. Later, Roman Catholic power within England waned (because Roman Catholics were forbidden to take public office and were slowly deprived of their lands and fortunes) but their influence grew until they attempted the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 – whereupon they were oppressed for nearly 200 years.

Text in force today
Section 8 still remains in force in Great Britain, and reads as follows: "A ND That suche Jurisdictions Privileges Superiorities and Preheminences Spirituall and Ecclesiasticall, as by any Spirituall or Ecclesiasticall Power or Aucthorite hathe heretofore bene or may lawfully be exercised or used for the Visitacion of the Ecclesiasticall State and Persons, and for Reformacion Order and Correccion of the same and of all maner of Errours Heresies Scismes Abuses Offences Contemptes and Enormities, shall for ever by aucthorite of this present Parliament be united and annexed to the Imperiall Crowne of this Realme: ..."

(The words at the end were repealed in 1641 by the Act 16 Cha. 1. c. 11.)

Related legislation
An Act to the same effect was passed in Ireland in the following year, the Act of Supremacy (Ireland) 1560 (2 Eliz. 1. c. 1 (I)).

The Papal Jurisdiction Act 1560 remains in force in Scotland.

Another Act (1 Eliz. 1. c. 5) dealing with treason was passed in 1558, which made it treason to "compass" or "imagine" to deprive the Queen (or her heirs) of the Crown, or destroy her or her heirs, or levy war against them in their dominions, or depose them, or say that they are not or ought not to be the monarch.

Another Act (1 Eliz. 1. c. 6) dealt with sedition.

Talk:Valrico, Florida

School Discussion
As I do not know about Valrico, Florida, I cannot confirm that Bloomingdale High School is the only high school in the area, though that seems to be the case. If anyone wishes to put school information back into this page, please consider the following recommendations:
 * The section should not be the first section in the page - the schools in an area are not that important.
 * The section should be more general - with (probably) only one high school, why does that high school merit an entire section? Thus it would make sense for the section to include all the other schools in the area. This could be added in with education demographics to possibly create a "Education" section, which would be more informative.
 * The information should be more meaningful than (paraphrasing from memory) "... was an 'A' school in ...". This really means nothing to me, and probably means nothing to most people in the world, as this grade system is apparently specific to Florida.

--Constantine Evans 06:25, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I've moved this down and put it under a section entitled "Education". Putting schools which aren't in Valrico, Florida in this section would seem inappropriate.  Other than that, feel free to expand.  anthony (see warning) 18:09, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Bloomingdale is the only school in the Valrico limits, although there are others just outside. I'll try to find some info on the middle and elementery schools here. Go B-Dale Bulls! Amerika 10:11, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Some teenagers who live in Valrico, especially the eastern part, attend Durant High School; other area schools include Newsome High School, and possibly others, according to random browsing on the Hillsborough County Public Schools website. I feel that school districts that lie inside the town limits should be included, not just the school's physical location, but that is open to debate. --130.126.130.164 02:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Debate? it should be the schools located within the physical location. You talk about children in one area going to other schools in another community, That's happening throughout Hillsborough County. I lived in Tampa and when I was in the 8th grade, they sent me to a shool in Brandon. I don't think it makes sense to put Brandon's schools in the Tampa article. I agree with Amerika on this point --Moreau36 18:47, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

RfC on Hate Crime

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Please see WikiProject Cities/US Guideline. The sentence "In 1993 two white men attacked a black tourist, Christopher Wilson, doused him with gasoline and set him on fire while chanting "Die, Nigger, Die" clearly does not come close to qualifying as one of the recommended topics and should be removed. 13:13, 21 August 2019 (UTC)165.214.11.81 (talk)
 * That's a point.Jacona (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Should be removed. Horrific crime is only tangentially related to Valrico. Perpetrators were from elsewhere, victim was from elsewhere, and described incident was committed elsewhere. The initial abduction occurred randomly at a strip mall in Valrico. Most coverage mentions town only in passing or not at all. As noted, this does not meet criteria for inclusion in town history.Glendoremus (talk) 19:28, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Vital policy consideration here: Any guidance found on a WikiProject is merely of WP:Advice pages status: it does not represent community consensus as to how a particular issue should generally be approached on a particular article. Unless a editorial principle goes through the usual WP:PROPOSAL process, or is at lease added to an existing WP:Policy or WP:guideline, it has no more weight as a supposed "default" approach than does the opinion of any single editor in a given discussion.  This is a longstanding principle of community consensus (verified and codified by ArbCom in several cases no less) and a basic principle of the role and constraints on WikiProjects within our policies and processes: WikiProject organize work in certain content areas, but they are not allowed to create their own policy via fiat as a standard approach to all article's the WikiProject's volunteers deem to be within their purview.  Again, until such time as a given approach/suggestion on a WikiProject page goes through the WP:PROPOSAL process at a centralized community discussion or relevant policy page, it is mere advice on a particular situation created by a small number of editors whose opinions have not been vetted by the community, and is therefore not a guideline or community consensus on how to approach the same issue on a particular article.

 * All of the above said, its still perfectly reasonable to oppose this particular content in this particular article, but the arguments should be predicated in bottom-up arguments based on WP:WEIGHT and other relevant policies: arguments which suggest we follow the "guideline" at the WikiProject are not arguments based in established community consensus regarding the editorial issue at hand and are likely to be ignored by the closer. However, there are additionally other substantial issues with this RfC, and its clear that the IP did not adequately familiarize themselves with the WP:RfC process, or it would be obvious to them that the non-neutral tone of the RfC prompt is unacceptable in the extreme. The prompt should be reworked in a neutral fashion, presenting the differing perspectives in a bit more detail and being neutral in its presentation of each.

 * Personally leaning towards removing: I'll need to look at the sources in more detail, but my initial impressions are that this event is probably not central enough to the town's notability. That could change, however, once looking into the sourcing: for a crime of this nature, it certainly would not be impossible that there is a lot more material out there establishing WP:WEIGHT for inclusion. For a certainty, if this event were to happen in today's media climate, the inundation of sourcing would make that weight determination pretty hard to ignore. But for a more than 25-year-old crime, even one as brutal and heinous as the one here, taking place before the internet era news revolution, it may be that there will only be a handful of sources discussing the matter, which would probably not be enough to justify inclusion here, even if it is the case that little else that is more notable / receives more coverage in WP:RS can be said about the town.

 * Should definitely be removed. An encyclopedia is not the place for such a melodramatic description. Information about the Crime Rate of the area is fine, but not a vivid description of a single crime. e.g. With a crime rate for both violent and property crime combined of 9 per 1,000 residents, the crime rate in Valrico is one of the lower rates in America among communities of all sizes (lower than 69% of America's communities). One's chance of becoming a victim of crime in Valrico is one in 106. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/fl/valrico/crime Peter K Burian (talk) 14:15, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Kim Pyong Il

Kim Pyong Il (김평일, ; born 10 August 1954) is the younger paternal half-brother of the former leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Il, and the only surviving son of former leader and president of North Korea Kim Il Sung. He worked as a diplomat and lived overseas between 1979 and 2019, serving in various diplomatic positions such as ambassador of North Korea to Hungary, Bulgaria, Finland, Poland, and the Czech Republic.

Family background and early life
Kim is the son of Kim Il Sung and Kim Song-ae, Kim Il Sung's former secretary. Kim had one younger brother, Yong-il, and one older half-sister, Kyong-hui, who would go on to marry senior official Chang Sung-taek. He was named after another son with the same name, who was born in Vyatskoye in 1944; that son, also known as Shura Kim, allegedly drowned in Pyongyang in 1947. He graduated from Kim Il Sung University with a major in economics, and later attended the Kim Il Sung Military University, following which he was appointed a battalion commander.

Kim Pyong Il's rivalry with half-brother Kim Jong Il goes back to the 1970s. In those days, Kim Pyong Il was known as a womaniser who threw raucous parties; sometimes, attendees at these parties would shout, "Long live Kim Pyong Il!". Kim Jong Il knew that this could be portrayed as a threat to the cult of personality surrounding their father Kim Il Sung, and reported the matter; Kim Il Sung was reportedly infuriated, and thus Kim Pyong Il fell out of favour with his father while Kim Jong Il strengthened his position.

Kim Pyong Il married Kim Sun-kum, a woman with family connections to the Ministry of Public Security, in 1982. They have a son, Kim In-kang, and a daughter, Kim Ung-song.

Diplomatic career
In 1979, Kim began a series of diplomatic postings to several countries in Europe so that he could not influence politics in his home country. His first overseas assignment was in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He was promoted to the position of ambassador to the People's Republic of Hungary in 1988, but was transferred to the People's Republic of Bulgaria in response to Hungary's opening of diplomatic relations with South Korea in 1989. This was followed by a posting in Finland.

In 1998, after North Korea closed its embassy in Finland to save money and prevent defections, Kim was posted to Poland. His ambassadorship was initially suggested to be in limbo, as nine months after his posting he had yet to formally present his credentials to the Polish president. However, he remained as ambassador in Poland, and his daughter Kim Eun-song and son Kim In-kang went on to attend university in Poland. He was a rare sight in Warsaw's diplomatic community, only occasionally appearing at functions held by the Algerian, Russian and Syrian embassies.

In 2015, he was transferred to the Czech Republic. He later returned to North Korea in November 2019 after stepping down as North Korea's ambassador to the Czech Republic. In January 2020, Ju Won Chol, a former Director General of the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Second European Department, replaced Kim as North Korea's Czech Republic ambassador.

Relations with Pyongyang
Kim Pyong Il reportedly continued to be considered a threat to the North Korean government due to his resemblance to his father Kim Il Sung. Reports claim he is under watch by both North and South Korean intelligence. However, he has kept a low profile, in contrast to his half-nephew Kim Jong-nam who gave frequent interviews with Japanese media, before he was assassinated in Kuala Lumpur in 2017.

In July 2011, Kim was reported by South Korean media to be back in Pyongyang for a visit. Some sources claimed he was under house arrest there since May, though others speculated he was just visiting his dying mother Kim Song-ae or preparing to observe the anniversary of his father's death.

In December 2011, South Korean officials said Kim Pyong Il was in Poland and would not attend Kim Jong Il's funeral. Kim Pyong Il and Kim Song-ae attended the funeral of Kim Il Sung in 1994, but North Korean television broadcasts deleted their images.

In June 2019, Kim Pyong Il visited North Korea for reported medical reasons. In November 2019, Kim Pyong Il returned to North Korea after retiring from a long career as a foreign diplomat. He had not lived in either Pyongyang or the rest of his native country since 1979. As a result, his return to North Korea following his retirement as a foreign diplomat also marked his return to being a North Korean resident for the first time in 40 years.

I am not Cplakidas, who often goes by Constantine on Wikipedia. If you're looking for the Constantine who is an active editor, or the Constantine whose understanding of Greek is not a significant personal embarrassment, you are probably looking for him.
