Talk:Subbuteo

Untitled
How about a bit more about the playing aspect of the game?

Re: playing aspect
Well, we now have a basic outline of how the football version is played, hopefully someone can follow suit with the Rugby and cricket. Having said that however, from what I hear the Rugby version's rules were convoluted and didn't function that well, so summarizing them concisely might not be easy.

Gorillaz
Are these Gorillaz' fictional characters quotes of any interset, since there are just fictional characters ? Lvr 17:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

There was another game, in this vein, that I can't seem to find.
I used to own it, and it was controlled by little dudes with magnets, and when you pressed down on them, they'd bop the ball off. It was very similar to Subbuteo, but not quite as fiddly.

 * Pro Action Football, perhaps? I had that in the mid-'90s. Good little game, but a bit too quick and random compared with Subbuteo (the ball used to just end up pinging around the table in the games i played). I liked the goalies that caught the ball, dribbling was decent (if a bit too easy), the pitches were quite good - comparable to Subbuteo astroturf - and I remember using the (much-sturdier) goals to replace my broken Subbuteo ones. Not sure how applicable it is to the main article (since there were plenty of other games around that served as competition, after all), but there's some info on it here, and it could maybe get its own article, since it was pretty popular. Seb Patrick 07:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, that's actually the exact one I was looking for. Thanks!

My brother and I were given one set each - not one between the two of us - of a game called "Table Soccer" - pitch was cardboard, with the two shades of green grass favoured by football pitches of the 70s.

There were two teams - one red, one blue. The ball looked more like a tiddlywink than a ball. According to the rules, you kick the ball like as if you were playing tiddlywinks - with the side of the base. Only drawback was that throw-ins and goal kicks were ten a penny, as the ball always went behind the goal line or off the edge of the pitch for a throw-in (more like a kick-in). We had to modify the rules to allow for that, as we kept losing the ball behind the skirting board or under the bed (we played on the bedroom floor), by doing it from the front!

The rules were, for a kids' game, very strict - no player could touch the ball more than twice - loses possession to the next nearest man - it was often difficult to ascertain that, without a tape measure or something, you had to declare that you were going to shoot, you could only shoot from inside the fourth crease (it folded up into four) and so on.

There were twelve players - eleven on the pitch and one on the supplied score sheet - when you scored, that player would move up one. Ball had to go fully over the line for it to be a goal.

Also, some boys at my boarding school were playing a football game where you push down the players' heads to kick - however, they were unfamiliar with the general rules of football - you don't take a goal kick from a goal, nor do you take corners at your own end of the pitch!

Factory
The text refers to the factory moving from Kent in the early 80s. When Hasbro bought Waddingtons (late 90s) there was still a small factory in Kent - near Ashtead from memory. I've no reference for this as its only my own memory - can anyone substantiate & provide info as to where it is made now? tig 21:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

(additional info) Having had contact with some of the people who worked at one of the factories in the 1960's, I can verify there was one in a small village named Chiddingstone Causeway. You will find this address on many of the boxed sets of this era (or it was on the sets that I owned). I believe it then became a Clinton's Cards producer and these days is home to various smaller business units.

Picture positions in text
The History blurb mentions pictures of players pictured above / pictured below etc. I don't think they match up anymore; should be looked at. It also isn't clear, at the end of that same paragraph, when the flat photograph players replaced the plastic modelled ones. JaffaCakeLover (talk) 20:10, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Colours
Since when have you been able to represent both Arsenal and Manchester United with the same (Ref 001) coloured figures??? Gloveman (talk) 12:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that Sports table football be merged into this article, since the games are virtually identical and a single article (with a distinct name) would resolve the ambiguity between this game and table football.  Mini  apolis  21:32, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose This article is about the brand name Subbuteo. There is no evidence to suggest "Subbuteo" has become a generic trademark, but even if it has, separate articles remain for Hoover and vacuum cleaner, and for Coca-Cola and cola. Any confusion would be best handled by a hatnote. Cnbrb (talk) 15:19, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but those examples don't justify what are—in essence—duplicate articles (FWIW, I'd rather not be bothered with a merge :-)). All the best,  Mini  apolis  00:22, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

in the image of the 3 figures, the caption may hold an error

 The other two are as originally painted, reference 6 in yellow and ref 65 in white representing the United Kingdom side that played against Wales in 1969

Wales is in the UK and to my knowledge the 'UK' has never had a football team. Do they mean England? i'm not well versed in football although.

Susquehanna University

Susquehanna University is a private liberal arts college in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, United States. Its name is derived from the original Susquehannock settlers of the region. Founded in 1858 as a missionary institute, it became a four-year liberal arts college in 1895. It is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Susquehanna is classified among "Baccalaureate Colleges: Arts & Sciences Focus", though it also has a business school, master's degrees in education and joint-degree programs in engineering and for a Master of Business Administration. It also offers the only bachelor's degree in luxury brand marketing and management in the U.S.

The academic programs are within the four schools of the Arts, Humanities, Natural and Social Sciences, and the AACSB International-accredited Sigmund Weis School of Business. Susquehanna University enrolls more than 2,200 undergraduate students from 33 states and 23 countries, and maintains a student-to-faculty ratio of 13 to 1. Most students are required to live on campus all four years and as of 2012, all students participate in a cross-cultural study away or service-learning experience known as the GO Program.

Founding and early years

The institution was founded by Benjamin Kurtz, its first president. Having already assisted in the founding of Gettysburg Seminary, Kurtz wanted to create another institution to expand the form of American Lutheranism that he advocated.

Kurtz's mission was to "educate men for the gospel ministry ... who cannot take a full course of training adapted to their age and circumstances; a course so thorough in theology as will qualify them to be able and faithful ministers of Christ." The American Lutherans of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania, provided 50 students, pledged $22,000, and offered the provisional use of its church facilities. However, they stipulated that the institute be expanded to a junior college and that a sister college for women also be formed.

On September 1, 1858, the Missionary Institute of the Evangelical Lutheran Church and Susquehanna Female College were established and legally recognized 23 days later. It had two departments: the theology department and the classical department. In 1873, the sister college disbanded and the institute became co-educational.

The institute officially became known as Susquehanna University in 1895.

20th century
The 20th century brought many changes. The institution had recently begun offering bachelor degrees and changed its name to reflect that. In 1903, the board approved Susquehanna’s colors, orange and maroon.

By the 1920s, student enrollment skyrocketed, accommodations were refurbished and the campus expanded, and academic departments and offerings were enhanced.

Academics
Susquehanna University is a private, non-profit liberal arts college in central Pennsylvania devoted primarily to undergraduate education. It is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Susquehanna has a student-to-faculty ratio of 13:1 with 90% of full-time faculty holding a doctorate or highest equivalent degree.

The institution offers more than 100 majors, minors and programs and allows students to design their own major, complete a double degree, or start undeclared. Susquehanna offers pre-professional programs in pre-law, pre-veterinary medicine and teaching, and coordinates with Thomas Jefferson University for allied health, Temple University for dentistry and Case Western Reserve University, Columbia University, and Washington University in St. Louis for 3+2 dual-degree engineering programs. It has articulation agreements with the University of Nicosia in Cyprus that offers an accelerated path to earn a Master of Business Administration degree and with Capital University Law School to pursue a Doctorate of Law. In 2016, an average of 96% of graduates were enrolled in graduate school or employed within six months of graduation.

Organization and administration
Susquehanna University consists of four schools: School of the Arts, School of Humanities, School of Natural and Social Sciences, and the Sigmund Weis School of Business.

Susquehanna University is governed by the president, a governing board of trustees, and a team of administrators.

Study abroad
The GO Program, as part of a school policy adopted in 2009, requires all Susquehanna students go off-campus for cross-cultural learning. Students have a choice between GO Short programs of 2–3 weeks or semester-long GO Long programs. In 2013, the GO Program was awarded the Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education

Campus
The Susquehanna University campus spans 325 acre in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. There are more than 50 buildings on campus, primarily in the style of Georgian architecture. The campus has four buildings that are Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified (LEED) by the U.S. Green Building Council: two residence halls, the Natural Sciences Center, and the Admission House.

Kurtz Lane, named after the founding president, is a pedestrian way that runs through the center of campus. A portion of the lower lane is lined with ginkgo trees.

Students are guaranteed housing all four years, and nearly all students live on campus. Students can choose from traditional corridor-style halls, suites, townhouses, apartments, and family-style houses, each requiring no more than a 10-minute walk to class.

Selinsgrove and Seibert halls
Selinsgrove Hall is a $3 1/2$-story brick structure constructed in 1858 in the Italianate style. The roof features a wooden cupola and the structure was previously featured on the institution's logo. Seibert Hall is a $2 1/2$-story brick structure constructed in 1902 in a restrained Colonial Revival style. Both Selinsgrove Hall and Seibert Hall, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Admission House
In 2017, the institution dedicated a $7 million space to welcome prospective students and families. According to the Susquehanna's website, Admission House was funded through contributions from the board of trustees. Unlike most other buildings on campus, the Admission House has a white facade instead of a naturally red-brick exterior. The 15500 sqft building was designed by architect Peter Bohlin of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson as a modern take on a barn to pay tribute to central Pennsylvania’s agricultural tradition, even though the institution does not offer an agriculture academic program.

The building received LEED certification with design elements that include: stormwater management and control, reduced water usage, water-efficient landscaping, optimized light control and energy performance, and indoor chemical and pollutant-source control. It also received the Award for Excellence from the American Institute of Architect’s Northeastern Pennsylvania chapter.

Apfelbaum Hall
Apfelbaum Hall was built in 1999 and houses the Sigmund Weis School of Business and the communications department.

Business students get hands-on learning in a student investment center that serves as a functioning trading room with Bloomberg Terminals that allow students to monitor and analyze financial markets in real time, and place trades on the trading platform. Students oversee a real investment portfolio in a student managed investment fund with monies allocated from the Student Government Association. Communications students have access to production facilities, including an audio, video and graphics lab and a multi-camera television studio with a green screen. They also have access to professional-quality audio and video field equipment.

Natural Sciences Center
The Natural Sciences Center is a $32-million academic building that houses Susquehanna’s biology, chemistry, earth and environmental science, neuroscience, ecology, health care studies, and pre-professional programs. It received Silver LEED certification. The 81000 sqft building was dedicated in 2010.

Solar array
In 2018, Susquehanna University completed a 14 acre solar array with WGL Energy to supply 30 percent of the institution's electricity. At the time, it was the largest college- or university-sponsored solar array in Pennsylvania, and one of the largest solar projects in the Commonwealth. The 12,000-panel array is estimated to produce over 5,300 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity per year.

Student life
Susquehanna University offers more than 150 student clubs and organizations, a variety of honor societies and professional organizations, and 11 Greek Life organizations.

Traditions
First-Year Students' Move In Day welcomes first-year students by sending orientation team members out to carry all new students' belongings into their dorm rooms. Many faculty and staff will also assist with the move-in process.

Thanksgiving Dinner is held prior to students leaving for Thanksgiving vacation. Students are served a turkey dinner by faculty, staff, and the president.

Christmas Candlelight Service is one of Susquehanna's most cherished traditions. Held in Weber Auditorium in early December, the service includes songs, readings, and prayers and finishes with everyone in attendance holding a lit candle.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas sees students come to the campus center dressed in their pajamas and indulge in cookies and cocoa while enjoying a reading of the classic Christmas tale.

Academic interest
There are a variety of academic interest clubs and organizations in the fields of business, education, music, sciences, foreign languages, and communications.

Publications and media

 * Writing majors have publication opportunities in the student-run Essay Magazine (for non-fiction) and Rivercraft (for fiction, poetry, and art) in addition to the writing departments' annual magazine, The Susquehanna Review, which seeks submissions from undergraduate writing majors internationally.
 * Topic specific student publications include Sanctuary, a literary magazine that features sci-fi and fantasy; Flagship, a publication that features creative work and photography that focuses on students' GO program experiences; and The Squirrel, a student-run newspaper that offers a humorous, critical, and constructive perspective on the news.
 * The institution's student-run newspaper, The Quill, covers campus events, activities, and athletics, and provides a forum for the opinions of members of the campus community.
 * WQSU, The Pulse, is the institution's 12,000-watt radio station, making it the third most powerful college radio station and the tenth most powerful non-commercial radio station in Pennsylvania. Broadcasts can be heard at a 70-mile radius, which is approximately one-third of the state of Pennsylvania. The station is operated by students, faculty and staff as well as community volunteers, and features a wide variety of music and talk programs including regularly scheduled Associated Press news broadcasts.
 * The Lanthorn is Susquehanna's yearbook that is available to students in hard copy in addition to being archived online.

Performing arts
In addition to the student-run clubs and organizations that focused on music and dance, many ensembles are sponsored and count toward major or elective credit requirements.

The University Choir, Chorale, and Chamber Singers are the three vocal performance groups open to all students by audition, and the instrumental offerings (many of which are also open to all students through an audition process) range from small ensembles to pep bands to the University Symphonic Band.

The theatre department also holds performances throughout the year with four large and several small productions a year.

Religious life
There are eight religious life organizations at Susquehanna. In addition, students as well as the general public have the opportunity to attend Lutheran services held Sunday mornings on campus.

Volunteering/service

Student programs
Susquehanna's on-campus, student-run night club is TRAX. The facility offers a stage for live bands, comedians and other performers as well as a dance floor, bar, pool tables, an outside patio, and a DJ booth.

Susquehanna University also has Charlie's Coffeehouse, a student-run café on campus named after the institution's benefactor, Charles Degenstein. Students work as baristas, while the management team consists of five students who are responsible for the coffee shop's finances, marketing, programming, stocking, and managerial duties. This non-alcoholic venue offers a variety of programming every night of the week. Charlie's also works in partnership with the student activities committee to bring in outside entertainers and host movies before they are released to the general public. Originally founded in 1973 as The Grotto, the establishment was renamed Charlie's in 1987 when its location was renovated that year. It has been student-staffed and operated since its founding over 50 years ago.

Greek life
There are four NPC sororities: (Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Delta, Sigma Kappa and Zeta Tau Alpha); six fraternities: (Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Theta Chi, Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Mu Delta, and Sigma Alpha Iota); and two NPHC organizations: (Sigma Gamma Rho and Phi Beta Sigma).

Athletics
Susquehanna competes in 23 varsity sports in Division III of the NCAA. All sports compete as part of the Landmark Conference with other Northeastern colleges. Susquehanna is also a member of the All-Atlantic Region Track & Field Conference. Cheerleading is Susquehanna's 24th varsity team.

The athletics complex includes a 51000 sqft field house, 3,500-seat Amos Alonzo Stagg Field at Doug Arthur Stadium, Douglas Arthur '49 Field, Clyde H. Jacobs Fitness Center, 1,100-seat Orlando W. Houts Gymnasium, a natatorium with a 25-yard swimming and diving pool, tennis courts, racquetball courts, and Sassafras Softball Field and a multipurpose field.

In 2022, Susquehanna won the Landmark Conference President's Trophy for the best overall athletics program, which is based on conference regular-season and postseason competition. It was the fifth time Susquehanna won the trophy, tying it with Moravian University, as one of two conference teams to most often win the trophy since it was created in 2008.

The football team competes in two annual trophy contests. The Goal Post Trophy goes to the winner of the annual football game with rival Juniata College. Susquehanna football also plays Lycoming College for the Amos Alonzo Stagg's hat (bronzed) trophy.

In October 2015, Susquehanna University's board of trustees elected to replace the Crusaders nickname and mascot. On April 2, 2016, the University announced River Hawks as the new nickname. “Benny the Hawk” was introduced on Oct. 29, 2016 as the new mascot.

Walter Sutton

Walter Stanborough Sutton (April 5, 1877 – November 10, 1916) was an American geneticist and biologist whose most significant contribution to present-day biology was his theory that the Mendelian laws of inheritance could be applied to chromosomes at the cellular level of living organisms. This is now known as the Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory.

Early life
Sutton was born in Utica, New York, and was raised on a farm as the fifth of seven sons to Judge William B. Sutton and his wife, Agnes Black Sutton, in Russell, Kansas. On the farm, he developed a mechanical aptitude by maintaining and repairing farm equipment, an aptitude that proved helpful later as he worked on oil drilling rigs and with medical instrumentation.

University of Kansas
After graduating high school in Russell, he enrolled at the University of Kansas in engineering in 1896. Following the death of his younger brother (John) from typhus in 1897, Sutton switched his major to biology with an interest in medicine. While at the University of Kansas, both he and his older brother, William Sutton, played basketball for Dr. James Naismith. Sutton distinguished himself as a student by being elected to both Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi and receiving both bachelor's and master's degrees by 1901. For his Masters thesis, he studied the spermatogenesis of Brachystola magna, a large grasshopper indigenous to the farmlands upon which Sutton was raised.

Columbia University
Considering the advice of his mentor at KU, Dr. C. E. McClung, Sutton moved to Columbia University for further study of zoology under Dr. Edmund B. Wilson. It was here that Sutton wrote his two significant works in genetics – "On the morphology of the chromosome group in Brachystola magna" and "The chromosomes in heredity". Effectively, Sutton could now explain "why the yellow dog is yellow".

The German biologist Theodor Boveri independently reached the same conclusions as Sutton, and their concepts are often referred to as the Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory. Sutton's hypothesis was widely accepted by most scientists, particularly cytologists, at the time. The continued work of Thomas Hunt Morgan at Columbia brought the theory to universal acceptance by 1915 through his studies of Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly, even as William Bateson continued to question the theory until 1921.

Sutton did not complete his PhD in Zoology as he originally planned. At the age of 26, he returned to the Kansas oil fields for 2 years. There he was able to perfect a device to start large gas engines with high pressure-gas and develop hoisting apparatuses for deep wells. Sutton's mechanical aptitudes never left him. His father finally directed him to return to his medical studies and he did so returning to Columbia University in 1905.

Sutton's medical studies proceeded through the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. While he continued to work on patents associated with oil drilling, Sutton also began at this stage to apply his mechanical aptitude to improving medical instruments. With credit for his graduate studies at both the University of Kansas and Columbia University, Sutton obtained his doctorate in medicine in 1907 graduating with "high standing". He then began an internship at Roosevelt Hospital in New York working in the surgical division headed by Dr. Joseph Blake.

Career
In addition to his clinic duties at Roosevelt Hospital, Sutton was also able to work with the Surgical Research Laboratory at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. With that support, he was able to begin developing and improving a variety of medical and surgical practices including improving anesthetic techniques, and perfecting abdominal irrigation.

In 1909, Sutton returned to Kansas City, Kansas where his family had relocated and his father and brother were in law practice. Sutton was appointed assistant professor of surgery at the four-year-old University of Kansas Medical School. The tenuous nature of the appointment at the young school led him to also maintain a private practice and serve on the staff of St. Margaret's Hospital as well as the university's Bell Memorial Hospital. For six years, Sutton performed a wide range of surgeries carefully documenting the procedures. He published several articles related to these cases going back to his internship at Roosevelt.

In 1911, he had accepted a commission as a First Lieutenant in the United States Army Medical reserve Corps. This eventually led to his taking a leave of absence from the university in February 1915 to serve at the American Ambulance Hospital outside Paris. Sutton and others from his days at Columbia and Roosevelt arrived at College of Juilly on February 23 where hospital facilities had been set up only 40 miles from the front lines of World War I. Within 2 months, he was surgeon-in-chief handling administrative duties in addition to his surgical responsibilities. His inventive aptitude was perhaps never more valued as he developed fluoroscopic techniques to identify and localize shrapnel within the soldier's bodies and then removed the foreign items with instruments of his own design. After his return, he documented these techniques in Binnie's Manual of Operative Surgery. Sutton's return sailing from France was on June 26, 1915, having stayed only four months, but have made a significant contribution to wartime medical treatment.

Dr. Sutton died rather unexpectedly at the age of 39 due to complications from acute appendicitis.

AndaluSia or AndaluCia?
A native bird of Andalucia, the cuckatoo, is known by its rare call which sounds like a Russian man saying, "Pussytwat!, Pussytwat!" ++++

Andalucia is the Spanish name. Andalusia is the English one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Asterion (talk • contribs), at 19:43, 4 September 2005.

I am a latin (Mexican), I can tell you that ANY latin language people will take the word "Andalusia" as nauseating and completely ignorant, specially the Andaluces. The article must respect the real name, which is Andalucía, and is pronounced with accent on the "í".

Yes, the English is Andalusia (stress on the u), but the Spanish is Andalucía (stress on the i). These days there is a tendency in both speech and writing to avoid the English spelling in favour of the Spanish one, or at least an attempt at it usually involving forgetting the accent. Even more regrettable is the non-existent adjective "Andalucian", which is neither English (Andalusian) nor Spanish (andaluz). Flapdragon 00:10, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * While constructing my User Portal I decided to add a related portal link to Andalucía. I already knew it didn't exist and had every intention of creating it. I have an extensive personal photo library of Andalucía and have an extremely good track record of good Portal design. I was alarmed at the main pages name, and was seriously alarmed by the above passage of text.
 * I would like to remind everyone here that Wikipedia is not here to simply enable people to put foreword their opinions of actual facts. To coin a phrase, Wikipedia is not some Bill and Bens encyclopedia, but is in fact a Global Educational Project. At the very least someone should have had Andalusia as a redirect to the correct name!
 * Why is this important?! I'm English, native speaker of English, and lived in Andalucía, and the Andalucíans (yes the word does exist) and ex-pat English that live there treat people that can't even pronounce the simple words as idiots. This is completely unacceptable. The word Andalusia does not exist and for the simple reason that it's Andalucía (pronounced: Anda-lutheea). Yes, it's a "th" sound and not an "s", so there is no way that Andalusia can be valid even in English regardless of commercial use. In fact, if one spelt it in the English norm it would be as thus: Andaloothiya.
 * Yes, you did say it right because I put the double "oo" in that forces English speakers to pronounce it correctly because they've been trained to do so. But look at the spelling - it's ridiculous! It's like some Australian/Bart Simpson relation to bil-a-bong/WaLongaChuck! I personally feel embarrassed when I see such references.
 * This issue needs to be resolved. I work on a consensus basis and do not make sudden changes to other peoples work. If I hear nothing for a month, I'll assume the project here is unmaintained and will affect the changes accordingly, Portal and all.

Andalusia (Andalucia) capital´s isnt Malague (Malaga), it´s Seville (Sevilla). Who wrote it?.

++++

Pueblos blancos arent in Malaga, instead, they are located in Cadiz´s sierra. There´s even a route called "Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos" (Arcos, Ubrique, Bornos...) starting near Seville and finishing in the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean, by Cadiz town.´

Boundaries: ¿Gibraltar or/and Marruecos?
Marruecos is a country with wich Spain shares a frontier and geographical demarcation (Algeciras is a prominent gateway to North Africa, or to Europe, starting from the south). Gibraltar is much more small to higlight or substitute a whole country.

If Portugal is at the west, Morrocco (Marruecos, en español) is at the south, sharing an ocean frontier with Spain, and land limits at Ceuta y Melilla. A country is much more important than Gibraltar, whose political status is actually being discussed by the British and the Spanish Governments.

I totally disagree.

1. Ceuta and Melilla are not Andalucia, they are independent autonomous comunities.

2. Andalucia never touch phisically Morroco. The fact that you can take boat from Algeciras to Morroco is not enought to call it a boundarie. There are customs in Algecira to take the boat to Morroco but that's because international laws about ports and airports.

For example, if I arrive in a plane from Spain to USA there is a zone of the airport before oficially entering American soil, does that means that Spain shares boundaries with USA?, obviously no. The same is aplicable to any port, including Algeciras.

3. Gibraltar isnt there to substitute anything. Spain and UK may be discussing his status for centuries, but as today it's oficially British territory by any aplicable law.

4. I also disagree with the edit that changes Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea by Strait of Gibraltar (and deleting Gibraltar, contradicting himself). The south doesn mean the very south, the Strait is only 1% of the total South side of Andalucia. It doens even leave mention to the Mediterranean sea (neither in the east) when it's 90% of the sea boundaries.

I edited everything from scrach to reflect all these details, it makes the paragraph longer but I think it's the more accurate it can be.

I agree with both last posts but it should be mentioned that although Ceuta and Melilla are no longer politically part of Andalucia (they were untill very recently, attached to the provinces of Cadiz and Malaga) they are still culturally (ethnically?) part of Andalucia.

Vandalusia
>>I believe this article should point out that this region was briefly in control of the vandals, who named this region Vandalusia.

>>--Gortu 17:01, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

>There is no documented source which proves that the region was ever called "Vandalusia". It is just a theory with no basis in fact and no >evidence whatsoever to support it. Have a look at the article of Al Andalus, where the etymology of al andalus is discussed more fully.

At least it would be reasonable to point out the debate, as the spanish article does.

The statement "The name Andalusia is derived from the Arabic name "Al Andalus"" is not corrected. Because the name Andalusia is inherited from the word "Vaudalusia". It was last part of Europe left by Vandals and they give own name this territory.

No. That if just a theory. There is no evidence that al andalus comes from anything to do with Vandals and there is no documented record of Andalusia ever having been called Vandalusia.--Burgas00 12:55, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I think it the theory should be mentioned. It is given at Andalusia (disambiguation) and Vandals, but this page pretends the theory doesn't exist, which is a bit inconsistent. Should Vandalusia also be created to redirect here? I came here just to read about the theory and was a bit puzzled before reading the talk page. -- Coffee2theorems | Talk 18:19, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

This article states the only documented fact which is that andalusia comes from Al Andalus. The possible etymologies for the arabic name al andalus (of which vandalusia is only one very dubious theory with no documental evidence or historical backing whatsoever) can be discussed on the relevant page: Al Andalus.--Burgas00 01:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Someone has added reference to Vandalusia again which is getting quite irritating. There is no historical evidence of any place in the world ever having been called Vandalusia. There are 3 main speculations on the name: Read about them in Al Andalus--Burgas00 00:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Arabic name
This is done to clean up Wikipedia.

I'd like to know why is the Arabic name included? Northern 17:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Please sign your comments.
 * The arabic name should be added because for 800 or so years that area was controlled by Arabs. To be historically accurate the name Al-Andalus should be there.  --Hfarmer 15:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It is not official, therefore it has been removed. Besides the territory of Al-Andalus was not equal to modern-day Andalusia. Regards, -- Asterion talk 17:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Al-Andalus has nothing to do with Andalusia, Andalusia was only a small part of Al-Andalus, Al-Andalus included great parts of eastern and northern Spain too, as well as whole Portugal.

Vandalism
I deleted this: "a country invaded by Spain". Is that a joke? Andalusia is a autonomous community, not an "invaded country". I'm self sorry of my bad knowledge of English language. See ya. --Jamelgo (talk) 23:45, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Adding material
I've started bringing over material from es-wiki, and will continue over the next week or so. Sadly, the article on the autonomous communities of Spain in es-wiki are, at best, B+ quality, but that's a lot better than what has been here. I'm doing my best to improve rather than merely translate; the result should be the bones of a decent article. I've already done this for Castile-La Mancha and Castile and León. - Jmabel | Talk 00:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Similarly to the Castile-La Mancha and Castile and León articles: it would be nice if someone found a solid citation for each statistic here (e.g. temperatures in the climate section). - Jmabel | Talk 03:59, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Odd phrase in es-wiki
In general, I've been able to cope with even a few rather odd wordings in es-wiki, but one that confuses me quite a bit is "...han justificado los intentos de reconversión de la flota pesquera." I've translated this rather literally (albeit with a change of verb tense) as "justifying attempts to convert the fishing fleet", but I'll be damned if I have any clarity as to what it means. Maybe a plan to buy up fishing boats and buy out fishing rights (speaking from local experience in a different part of the world)? Maybe something else? If anyone has a clue, please edit accordingly. And probably fix it in es-wiki as well. - Jmabel | Talk 06:11, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I know barely a word of Spanish, but I expect your guess is the right one. Sorry I can't help with the translation. hamiltonstone (talk) 22:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Dehesa Boyal
Also, can anyone shed light on the phrase Dehesa Boyal? I understand that it is a meadow for grazing livestock. Is it specific to cattle? Is it a commons? Is there anything more specific we can say about it? - Jmabel | Talk 06:22, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Dehesa is a type of pastureland usually with trees (oak) and scrub. "Boyal" comes from buey, so is specific to cattle (although lots of the land is multi use now). There's probably an article in it if you can find some sources - it's an important environment for a lot of Spain's wildlife. Yomangani talk 11:29, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * "without scrub" apparently, shows what I know. Yomangani talk 11:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree on the etymology of boyal; the question was whether it is just etymology or remained meaningful in the actual way the land was used. Given the geography, it wouldn surprise me if cattle really were the main animals that grazed there. And yes, doubtless there should be an article in it, and in each of the many redlinks in this article, and in quite a few links that lead to stubs (especially cities), and probably almost every section here could be expanded to a main article. The English Wikipedia's coverage of Spain, outside of a few regions, has mostly not yet risen to the level of the encyclopedic. - Jmabel | Talk 05:31, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * My stomach tells me one of the main uses of dehesa is for fattening up pata negra (ñam ñam). That type of grazing for pigs isn't unusual in other countries: see pannage for example. Dehesas boyales are normally the common grazing grounds of a settlement for the use of just about any livestock, though where the culture has changed from subsistence farming they have become natural parks or recreational areas. (I can't think what you mean about the redlinks...apparently "There aren’t that many obvious topics left to write about" ) Yomangani talk 11:36, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Ortega y Gasset quotation
In the "Culture" section, I've done my best to translate a quotation from Ortega y Gasset; I've tried to strike a balance between the tone and the letter of the text, but it's really hard. For example, there really is no English word that translates malagueño, and his verb tense (using the present tense to speak of the past) is not so common in English. I'd be interested if someone else thinks they can do better, and do tell me if you think anything I did was really wrong. - Jmabel | Talk 05:37, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I fiddled with it a little, but feel free to fiddle it back; malagueño is fine (I wouldn't have even put in the explanatory note), and I didn't like "The North sits up" to begin with, but it's grown on me since I started typing and now I think it is rather good. Yomangani talk 11:36, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * "The North sits up" is pretty literal (the original was El Norte se incorpora). In English, I might prefer "The North stands up", which would be more likely English, but doesn't connote that it was previously "lying down" (suggests more that it was previously sitting). This is the trickiest stuff about translation, to my mind: tradeoffs between the literal and the colloquial, between phrasing and ideas. With the prose of other Wikipedians, I'm almost always inclined to be colloquial in English and get the ideas across. With Ortega y Gasset, I'm not quite so bold: after all, we are claiming to quote him. - Jmabel | Talk 22:36, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Possible redundancy
There seems to be quite a bit of redundancy between cultural tourism & arts. I'm still translating the latter, but I suspect we could move the cultural material out of the tourism section and simply reference the arts section there. I'd like to finish translating the arts section first, though (I'm in the midst of it). - Jmabel | Talk 22:38, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I noticed the overlap yesterday, but left it alone. If you want to have a shot at integrating that material once you're finished with arts, that would be great. hamiltonstone (talk) 22:43, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Similar issues with agriculture and cuisine. I don't necessarily want to take on the integration, but I still have at least 2 more days of translation work here. What a monster. - Jmabel | Talk 01:37, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

OK, my only remaining translation work is the Sports section, which should be pretty separate, so if anyone wants to go after repetitions and/or reorganize the structure feel free. - Jmabel | Talk 07:19, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Species identification
Does anyone know precisely what species are the langostino de Sanlúcar (a type of prawn) and chanquete from Málaga (a type of small fish)? - Jmabel | Talk 01:37, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The langostino de Sanlúcar is Penaeus kerathurus (it's the same species as a normal langostino but has the reputation of being better if it is caught near Sanlúcar). The chanquete is whitebait, but whether it is a generally a single species I don't know. They had to be imported from China because stocks were low a few years back, so I'd guess the imports weren't the same species. Still tasted nice though. Yomangani talk 03:13, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

"Culture"
I noticed that the hierarchy of sections I had as

 * Culture
 * Arts
 * Literature
 * Popular culture
 * Popular culture

has been changed

 * Art and culture
 * Arts
 * Literature
 * Culture
 * Culture

Although there might be a different, better approach, I think this is a step in the wrong direction. (1) The arts are part of culture. (2) The distinction I was making in "popular culture" was that of quotidian cultural practice - food and drink, festivals, religious practices - vs. deliberate artistic creativity.

Again, I'm open to other approaches, but I don't like this one. - Jmabel | Talk 06:03, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That was me. I don't mind alternative approaches either, but there was material under "popular culture" that didn't seem to me to fit that description (regional language; mythology). My experience of "popular" at WP is that it denotes contemporary cultural references and practices that are not "high" culture (though my edit here suggest practice in other articles has been different again, where a classical painting had been included under "popular" culture). Perhaps we should revert to your original headings? hamiltonstone (talk) 06:12, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * "Popular" doesn't have to be recent; 15th century folk melodies are popular culture.
 * Anyway, I'd like to revert to my previous headings for the moment, unless someone wants to try working out how it really should be. I don't love it the way I had it, either, and would love to see someone come up with a better arrangement. - Jmabel | Talk 07:17, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Secondary sector: dubious edit
I just want to call everyone's attention to this edit in the section Secondary sector: industry. It looks to me like an introduction of machine-translated content from the es-wiki, content I had omitted when I translated the article because it was claiming a lot of precision with no sources. At the same time it was added, content was removed, and this also was wedged in before a footnote that for that other content, as if it cited for the new content. I leave it to someone else to decide exactly what to do with this, but for now I have left the material changes, but replaced the now misleading footnote with cn. - Jmabel | Talk 04:16, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Native or famous people
I removed the list of native or famous people from the end of the article. It deserves a better end than a stultifying list of local celebs. Yomangani talk 18:35, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Climate
I can't readily find it in the history but at some time in the last couple of months the following was dropped: "in the eastern province of Almería, averages over 20 °C are common (for example, 21.5 °C at Cuevas del Almanzora)". Seems to me that it belongs, but I leave it to someone else to sort out whether this removal was vandalism or whether something was wrong with it. - Jmabel | Talk 22:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

First dogs?
On 22 November 2012 an anonymous contributor added the statement "The first settlers probably brought the first dogs into the region." The relevance of this information is unclear. The first settlers undoubtedly brought dozens if not hundreds of the usual attributes of civilization with them, dogs being just one of these. What is so significant about dogs in this context? The sentence has been flagged with "citation needed"; maybe someone can add a source supporting the notability of this detail. Piperh (talk) 10:02, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Unclear phrase
Under Vandals, Visigoths. . . /Al-Andaluz, a sentence begins,

Al-Hakam's death achieved military successes. ..

What does this mean? Did the Christian leaders achieve success as a result of Al-Hakim's death?

I hope someone who knows will correct this. Thanks

Serious Error regarding history of name
The name section says that it came in to usage in the 13th century to refer to those territories still under Muslim rule. As far as I know, the opposite is true. Andalusia referred to those territories in Southern Spain NOT under Muslim rule but bordering the Kingdom of Granada. It referred to an area conquered by Christians and known as "La Frontera" or "El Andalucia", modern day provinces of Seville, Huelva, Cadiz and Cordoba. Granada, Malaga and Almeria were not referred to as Andalusia until they came under Christian rule in 1492.Asilah1981 (talk) 14:19, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Arabic name (further comments)
I recently removed the Arabic spelling from the beginning of the lead as it is not a local language. The argument that it was under Arab rule for 800 years was used before (see Arabic name section above) and by that added it back, but the problem is that this was 525 years ago. It makes sense to make a reference to it in the body of the text, specially in the name section where it is already included, as it explains its origins, but not in the languages section of the lead, since it's not a local language. The region was also under the rule of the Roman empire, but neither The Arabic or the Latin spelling have present-day ties. The Arab spelling is not commonly used regardless of the historical context other than by Arabs themselves (the closest would be references to Al-Andalus or Baetica). In those articles it makes sense to include the Arabic and Latin names (but not both in each one), as those where the local languages then. It was also noted in the previous discussion that the territory of Andalusia does not correspond to that of the historical Al-Andalus which included most of Spain. If there are no objections I will remove it again. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 10:06, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Andalusia is the only European region with both Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines.
This sentence is very weird and should be worded differently. That tip of Andalusia apparently defines the border between both bodies of water, of course, it has coasts on both bodies of water. --89.246.121.125 (talk) 00:30, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Title of new article History of Andalucía should be changed to History of Andalusia, and the "History of Andalusia" redirect to this page should be deleted
Now that the article History of Andalucía, translated from Spanish, has been created by Maye Fernandez, its title should be changed to History of Andalusia to conform to the title of this one. I tried to move the page automatically, but got a notice saying:

 * The page could not be moved, for the following reason:
 * A redirect already exists at History of Andalusia, and it cannot be deleted automatically. Please choose another name.

Apparently the redirect "History of Andalusia" needs to be deleted. I don't know why the creator of the article used the Spanish orthography in the article title, because she used the non-British spelling Andalusia throughout the article text. Perhaps it was a mistake.

The article seems to look okay with a cursory glance before I go to the beach, but the English will need to be polished, and it needs more references, for which it has already been tagged. Carlstak (talk) 22:53, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Andalusia is the only European region with both Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines.

Talk:Southern rockhopper penguin

Untitled
Can somebody get the names straight for these species? innotata (Talk | Contribs) 02:47, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Life-span
What is their life span? I would really appreciate the feed-back. - Cameron

 * Life span estimates are not available. As far as I know there are no ongoing long-term banding and monitoring schemes of any Rockhopper population. A rough estimate can only derive from other penguin species that are monitored in the wild (i.e. Little penguins, Yellow-eyed penguin). And those species can live up to 20-25 years. However, the majority of birds does not reach that age, mainly because they get killed/get eaten/starve to death etc. So a good average age for a penguin is somewhere between 10 and 15 years I should think.

New photo?
Hey, I took a photo of a rockhopper recently that I was pretty happy with. It might be good for illustrating their facial features more closely in the article, or their pretty red eyes. Whatever goes!

Foraging Behavior

Peer Reviews
Hello Biliken 1995,

I've revised some of your contributions to Foraging Behavior to be a bit more concise and neutral. Your research contributions provide insightful and relevant information to the Southern Rockhopper Penguin's foraging behavior and influence of geography on foraging. I've also looked through your sources and they are solid and thorough in coverage. You have addressed the evolutionary aspect of foraging behavior in your contributions well also. I think from this point you can proceed on to making the coverage of the main experiment more concise and straightforward to make the conclusions mentioned at the end more clear. Also, I did not think the segment regarding the bees was relevant enough to E. chrysocome to be included in the Foraging Behavior section (although I do understand your intentions). Looking forward to seeing the progress of this article!

Anon2831 (talk) 18:17, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Biliken1995,

Overall, your post on foraging behavior of rockhopper penguin is well written. The sources you cited are very informative and critical for the sub-topic of your contribution. A summary of the articles about a relationship between foraging behavior of rockhopper penguin and a geological factor was very interesting. But, there was a part where I was bit confused about diving and chick growth, so I made minute change about efficiency of diving. To me, adding few words there made the whole sentence more clear. Overall, it was great and I look forward to see your final draft.

Random6251 (talk) 04:34, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Anon2831 and Random6251,

Thank you for your helpful and insightful comments. I have deleted the section about the honey bee experiment, as I see where it does not directly apply to my topic. As well I summarized the experiments rather than referencing them. I took the main points of the experiments and applied them to foraging behavior in these penguins. I also deleted the section on carbon isotopes because it did not seem relevant to my overall topic. Over the whole article I added and changed some wording for better understanding. As for the conclusion, I tried to make a more concise ending to my article. I kept and edited the last paragraph on climate change as it helps the reader relate this topic to a popular topic in the news. Thanks again!

Biliken 1995 (talk) 17:25, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello Biliken 1995!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading you article about foraging behavior and how different climates can have such great effects on the survival and behavior of this species of penguin. I was a bit confused about the relationship between chick growth and other environmental factors such as food load and dive depth. I know that it is unadvisable to cite specific studies in wikipedia articles, but I was wondering if this was just a general trend you observed in your research or if you found stats on the actual amount chick growth was affected. Perhaps additional sources that explain the prevalence of similar behaviors and trends could be beneficial? I really liked your insight into the evolutionary changes in climate that could impact E. chrysocome. I made some minor edits with grammar and wording, but I think the content you have is already quite substantial and edited well.

Hi Billiken 1995!

Your addition is very thorough and goes in to discuss multiple traits of these penguins. However, you I feel that you could talk a little more on the evolutionary origins of this variation such as if it is simply a trade off or if it is a form of plasticity. Also, you could relate or explain how the various pressures or accessibility of food leads to the differences in foraging behaviour. Otherwise, your sentence structure is good and conveys the points you make well. I've only changed the wording in some sentences and certain terms you used so as to make it flow a bit more easily.

Hello Honey4bees and Biol&steel!

Thank you for your helpful comments. I decided that the chick growth was not relevant to foraging behavior, so I deleted that section. Thank you for voicing your confusion. I edited some of my paragraphs as to make the article more clear and easy to understand. I talked more about plasticity, as recommended. As well, I explained how accessibility to food shaped the penguins' foraging behavior.

Hello Evol&Glass,

Thank you for your insightful comments and edits. I changed some of my wording and took your advice about adding together the paragraphs and deleting unnecessary details. I made my article easier to follow and understand by giving the reader the overall/main point of my sources. I talked more about plasticity instead of favoring a foraging behavior; I think this will help the reader see the species’ ability to be flexible, instead of focusing on which environment would be most suitable. My main changes were to the middle paragraphs, as recommended, I added and changed some things to better suit the flow and content of the article.
