Pre-FAC notes
From a quick scan, before a proper re-read.
 * The lead is quite short, given the article overall is 2641 words. Your likely to get a few archecture specialists at FAC, so would add a few sentences on its layout. I think the prose could be doubled here, a lot in the main article not mentioned in the introduction, and bear in mind, 90% of readers will stop at the lead.
 * Expanded, but I feel very uncertain about it, definitely in need of review.Xx78900 (talk) 09:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, have been toying, but its a good start; lets see just before the nom. Ceoil (talk) 02:16, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Reposition Timoleague Friary Window.jpg as its squashing the text between itself and the lower part of the infobox.
 * Done by you.Xx78900 (talk) 19:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

 * The img captions could be more descriptive or precise (ie the X feature seen from the Y vantage point)
 * Done. I wonder if the gallery should be kept? It was there when I first started working on the article and I never removed it. What do you think?Xx78900 (talk) 19:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh keep it please! Although you could reposition the images closer to the relevant text. Remember this is essentially an archecture page, and am thinking of asking for a look from KJP1, our eagle eyed resident expert on these matters. And maybe Guliolopez who also knows a lot, and is especially good at finding puffery. Ceoil (talk) 19:08, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay no problem. There are a lot of photos of the abbey, I might have a look through and see if there are better ones. Xx78900 (talk) 19:57, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Flow: You sometimes follow very long sentences with very short ones. Break up the long ones where possible.
 * Are the chalices really called the first and second chalices? Should it just be the Dale-Browne and Timoleague Franciscan Chalice.
 * So it's not that they're called the first and second chalices, but most sources (not all) that write about either one of them seem to be unaware of the existence of the other, and thus label the one that they're talking about "The Timoleague Chalice". On that, the only question I have so far about the edits you have made to the page is removing info about the chalices. Are you sure its inappropriate?
 * Refer to them by their their dating, ie the earlier and later. Ceoil (talk) 10:09, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * About the trimming: the article is already top-heavy on the chalices. Would prefer more focus on the archecture. Ceoil (talk) 10:38, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Changed to include "earlier" and "later". Do you want to cut more off of the chalices? I'll extend the architecture section over the next few days.
 * No don't cut anymore. Any chance of photos of either? I'll be in Dublin on Friday and could go to Collins Barrick's if its on display. Have you checked it their are free images on Flicker? Ceoil (talk) 19:14, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm actually based in Dublin for this year and have just returned this evening. I might pop out tomorrow and see if I can get a photo. I haven't checked Flicker, and amn't familiar with it - is it a repository of images that are exclusively copyright free /fair use / creative commons, or do you have to be discerning? Xx78900 (talk) 19:59, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Try and avoid single sentance paragraphs.
 * I have removed one of these. I'm not sure how to remove the other two still present: one is in the history section, and immediately follows a quote about the destruction of the town. Should I move it to the next subheading down? The other, in architecture, doesn't fit the other paragraphs but I will try and expand the description of the rooms mentioned over the coming days.Xx78900 (talk) 19:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * All removed now.Xx78900 (talk) 09:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Best not to start consecutive paragraphs with "In 19xx".
 * Altered.Xx78900 (talk) 19:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * — (4 February 2014). "Machtnadh an Duine Dhoilghiosaich". What does — mean. Should it be Ó Coileáin, Seághan
 * It's referring to Beatrix Farber, who wrote the page in question, wherein Seághan Ó Coileáin's poem can be found. Given that I was using the reference to mention translations, I thought it more appropriate to mention the page author as opposed to the poem's author. I can change if needs be.

 * When did the French gift St Molaga's Head.
 * I will be able to check later tonight.Xx78900 (talk) 19:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Great. And add any other info you can find as its quite a hooky paragraph. Do we have a pic of it? Ceoil (talk) 19:16, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * We don't unfortunately, and would you believe I was in Timoleague this morning... up in Dublin now for the foreseeable and not sure when I'll be back. I know the stone and can get a snap in future, thought to be honest it is an unremarkable lump of rock - absolutely no traces remain of the carving to the naked eye anyway. Xx78900 (talk) 19:56, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the Crowley source, which is the only one that mentions Molaga's head, doesn't provide even the century when it was gifted. Xx78900 (talk) 09:02, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

 * In Spittal, a nearby townland, there was a leprosarium, and......a bit story teller-ish
 * Okay, do you think I should remove it or reword it? I thought it was necessary exposition to the "Leper's hole", but if not, I can get rid of it.Xx78900 (talk) 19:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * No it just men it could be rephrased to be a bit less "folky" (or droll). Ceoil (talk) 19:10, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood, I'll change it now. Xx78900 (talk) 19:59, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Try and avoid cites in the lead; if the claims are restated in the body, place the cites there.
 * More shortly. Ceoil (talk) 17:59, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Citations have all been moved to the body Xx78900 (talk) 09:03, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for looking at this - I'm busy this weekend but I'll start reviewing and altering from Monday.Xx78900 (talk) 06:44, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a plan. Ceoil (talk) 10:40, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

 * I wouldnt use block quote for "We burnt all the towne, and their great...". As toy said above its messy and causes probs for the following sentance, and imo creates too much white space.
 * Incoporated into the body.Xx78900 (talk) 09:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

 * "Writes" rather than "claims", unless you doubt Samuel Lewis (i dont know enough to evaluate, but the word claims throws a shadow.
 * Changed.Xx78900 (talk) 09:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Audit for repetition and synonyms: founded the abbey in 1312.[13] The friary's
 * It's referred to pretty equally as an abbey and as a friary in the literature, which I tried to reflect in the article by using both. If consistency is preferred, I'm happy to do one or the other. It's official name per the Record of Monuments and Places is Timoleague Abbey.Xx78900 (talk) 09:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Was thing more in terms of WP:ELVAR, maybe stick with Friary and it. Ceoil (talk) 12:22, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure the (block) quote "The preservation of the abbey is mainly due to the care bestowed...." adds much not already stated.
 * Clarify: "Despite the dissolution of the monasteries in 1540 by Henry VIII '[WHEN X LEAD TO Y], the friars.."- avoid the reader having to click blue links to understand the point
 *  up until the late 1580s. Ceoil (talk) 23:21, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry I haven't been at this all week, my offline life has been manic - I should be able to potter away at this as the week goes on. Xx78900 (talk) 11:01, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'll be gone for a few more weeks (around 2-3), but do have more to add if you can hang on. As it will be your first nom at FAC, first impressions will last, so bear with me pls. At very least we should do source and image reviews, on-top of this copyedit and comprehensive lookover. Ceoil (talk) 00:32, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * More than happy to hang on, I ended getting really busy IRL so it suits me better too! Xx78900 (talk) 20:55, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Personally, I think the block quote ties in nicely with the previous one, to show how attitudes changed towards the Travers family and their care for the Abbey, but I can remove it if you really think that's more appropriate. Xx78900 (talk) 20:54, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Fine, this is not a hill I'd die on, and tbh maybe its just that I dislike block quotes; fussy and create too much white space. I'm more or less done complaining about prose, although there are a few gripes outstanding. A source review to follow, but as I say, not shortly. Ceoil (talk) 21:47, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The section title "In culture" isn't right, as it implies pop songs, comics, etc. Ceoil (talk) 12:50, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Point, Lewis

Point (An Rubha), also known as the Eye Peninsula, is a peninsula some 11 km long in the Outer Hebrides (or Western Isles), Scotland. The majority of Point is connected to the rest of the Isle of Lewis by a narrow isthmus, one mile in length and at one point barely 100 metres wide. The peninsula is just 6 km east of the regional capital of Stornoway, however the district of Point actually starts at the Parkend estate on Stornoway's outskirts. Point is home to around 2,600 people and is one of the few districts of the Western Isles where the population is increasing. There are about 17 villages and hamlets in Point: (listed west to east) Melbost (Mealabost) (Including Stornoway Airport), Branahuie (Bràigh na h-Aoidhe), Aignish (Aiginis), Knock (An Cnoc), Swordale (Suardail), Garrabost, Lower Bayble (Pabail Iarach), Eagleton (Baile na h-Iolaire), Upper Bayble (Pabail Uarach), Shulishader (Sulaisiader, usually referred to as Shader), Sheshader (Seisiader), Flesherin (Fleisirin), Cnoc Amhlaigh, Portnaguran (Port nan Giuran), Aird, Broker (Brocair), and Portvoller (Port Mholair).

Education
Point is served by Sgoil an Rubha (Point School), a primary school which opened in 2011 in Bayble, built on the site of Bayble primary and junior secondary school. There was a long debate about the new school, leading to a gap of over 10 years between the first plans and the building of the school. The school took a year to build, and was the first of a number of new schools built in the Western Isles. There were three primary schools in Point: Bayble, Knock and Aird. These fed into Bayble junior secondary school, which closed when the new school opened, reflecting the decline in the school-age population. There is now no junior secondary school in Point; Sgoil an Rubha feeds into the Nicolson Institute in Stornoway for secondary education.

Heritage Sites
At the eastern end of the isthmus (Am Bràighe in Gaelic) are the ruins of the Eye Church, which are all that remain of a building dedicated to St Columba. This was among the largest pre-Reformation Churches in the Western Isles. Although the present buildings are probably medieval, the Church is reputedly on the site of the cell of St Catan, a contemporary of St Columba. This is the burial ground of 19 of the Chiefs of the MacLeods of Lewis. There are two old carved commemorative slabs, one depicts a warrior, believed to be Roderick, 7th Chief; while the other is Margaret, daughter of Roderick MacLeod of Lewis, who died in 1503.

In recent years, the land reform struggle of the 19th century in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland is being recognised, and the Aignish Riots of 1888 are commemorated by a memorial adjacent to the Eye Church.

On the north-west side of the peninsula and 30m offshore is Stac Mor Garrabost. Investigated by archaeologists in 1990s as part of the Coastal Erosion Assessment project and then again in the 2000s for The Severe Terrain Archaeological Campaign (STAC) little is known about the site except that there are the remains of structures on the sea stack.

Notable people from Point

 * Iain Crichton Smith: Poet and author from Bayble
 * Ishbel MacAskill: Scottish Gaelic singer from Broker
 * Stuart Braithwaite: Lead singer of the band Mogwai, mother is from Flesherin.
 * Calum MacDonald: Retired MP for the Western Isles
 * Anne MacKenzie: Journalist from Point
 * Ronnie McKinnon: Rangers FC football player, Capped for Scotland 28 times, Lives in Flesherin. His connection with the island lies in Carloway, on the other side of the island, where his mother came from.
 * Donald Morrison: Footballer for Dumbarton, and formerly for Point F.C. and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Bay Cities Building mis-attributed
I'm removing the claim that Stiles O. Clements was the architect of the Bay Cities (Guaranty) Building. Despite claims on a number of web sites, and in at least one book, that Clements designed this building, there is no doubt that the architect was Albert Walker of Walker & Eisen, the architectural firm named on the 1929 building permit.

I can find no support for the statement that "1886.....Juan José Carrillo elected as the first mayor"

Ingersoll's Century History, Santa Monica Bay Cities By Luther A. Ingersoll

Ingersoll page 169

"In November, 1886, another important step in the advancement of Santa Monica occurred. This was the incorporation of the town ; the election to decide the question being held November 30th and resulting in a vote of 97 for incorporation and 71 against. The first board of trustees chosen for the town was made up of John Steere, chairman: Dr. E. C. Folsom, A. E. Ladd, W. S. Yawter and j. W. Scott. Fred C. McKinnie was the first town clerk; H. C. Baggs, Jr., was elected marshal and E. K. Chapin treasurer. Baggs failing to qualify, Michael Noon was appointed in his place."

Ingersoll page 174

"In April (1988), after a rather lively contest, three new trustees were elected, Thomas A. Lewis, Thomas Rhodes and J. J. Carrillo, the latter of whom served as trustee continuously until 1900 — twelve years."

Ingersoll page 182

"In 1888 he (Carrillo) was elected as city trustee and for twelve years thereafter he was re-elected regularly, thus serving the city longer than any other trustee ever chosen. During this time he was for seven years, from 1890 to 1897, president of the board and thus acting mayor of the city."

Edmonia Lewis

Mary Edmonia Lewis, also known as "Wildfire" (c. July 4, 1844 – September 17, 1907), was an American sculptor.

Born in Upstate New York of mixed African-American and Native American (Mississauga Ojibwe) heritage, she worked for most of her career in Rome, Italy. She was the first African-American and Native American sculptor to achieve national and then international prominence. She began to gain prominence in the United States during the Civil War; at the end of the 19th century, she remained the only Black woman artist who had participated in and been recognized to any extent by the American artistic mainstream. In 2002, the scholar Molefi Kete Asante named Edmonia Lewis on his list of 100 Greatest African Americans.

Her work is known for incorporating themes relating to Black people and indigenous peoples of the Americas into Neoclassical-style sculpture.

Early life
According to the American National Biography, reliable information about her early life is limited, and Lewis "was often inconsistent in interviews even with basic facts about her origins, preferring to present herself as the exotic product of a childhood spent roaming the forests with her mother's people." On official documents she variously gave 1842, 1844, and 1854 as her birth year. She was born near Albany, New York. Most of her girlhood was apparently spent in Newark, New Jersey.

Her mother, Catherine Mike Lewis, was African-Native American, of Mississauga Ojibwe and African-American descent. She was an excellent weaver and craftswoman. Two different African-American men are mentioned in different sources as being her father. The first is Samuel Lewis, who was Afro-Haitian and worked as a valet (gentleman's servant). Other sources say her father was the writer on African Americans, Robert Benjamin Lewis. Her half-brother Samuel, who is treated at some length in a history of Montana, said that their father was "a West Indian Frenchman", and his mother "part African and partly a descendant of the educated Narragansett Indians of New York state." (The Narragansett people are originally from Rhode Island.)

By the time Lewis reached the age of nine, both of her parents had died; Samuel Lewis died in 1847 and Robert Benjamin Lewis in 1853. Her two maternal aunts adopted her and her older half-brother Samuel. Samuel was born in 1835 to his father of the same name, and his first wife, in Haiti. The family came to the United States when Samuel was a young child. Samuel became a barber at age 12 after their father died.

The children lived with their aunts near Niagara Falls, New York, for about four years. Lewis and her aunts sold Ojibwe baskets and other items, such as moccasins and embroidered blouses, to tourists visiting Niagara Falls, Toronto, and Buffalo. During this time, Lewis went by her Native American name, Wildfire, while her brother was called Sunshine. In 1852, Samuel left for San Francisco, California, leaving Lewis in the care of a Captain S. R. Mills.

Samuel's endeavours in the California gold rush proved successful, and by the time Edmonia got to college, he "supplied her every want anticipating her wishes after the style and manner of a person of ample income".

In 1856, Lewis enrolled in a pre-college program at New York Central College, a Baptist abolitionist school in McGrawville (now McGraw, New York). There Lewis met many of the leading activists who would become mentors, patrons, and possible subjects for her work as her artistic career developed. In a later interview, Lewis said that she left the school after three years, having been "declared to be wild."

"Until I was twelve years old I led this wandering life, fishing and swimming...and making moccasins. I was then sent to school for three years in [McGrawville], but was declared to be wild—they could do nothing with me."

However, her academic record at Central College (1856–fall 1858) shows that her grades, "conduct", and attendance were all exemplary. Her classes included Latin, French, "grammar", arithmetic, drawing, composition, and declamation (public speaking).

Education
In 1859, when Edmonia Lewis was about 15 years old, her brother Samuel and abolitionists sent her to Oberlin, Ohio, where she attended the secondary Oberlin Academy Preparatory School for the full, three-year course, before entering Oberlin Collegiate Institute (since 1866, Oberlin College), one of the first U.S. higher-learning institutions to admit women and people of differing ethnicities. The Ladies' Department was designed "to give Young Ladies facilities for the thorough mental discipline, and the special training which will qualify them for teaching and other duties of their sphere." She changed her name to Mary Edmonia Lewis and began to study art. Lewis boarded with Reverend John Keep and his wife from 1859 until she was forced from the college in 1863. At Oberlin, with a student population of one thousand, Lewis was one of only 30 students of color. Reverend Keep was white, a member of the board of trustees, an avid abolitionist, and a spokesperson for coeducation.

Mary said later that she was subject to daily racism and discrimination. She, and other female students, were rarely given the opportunity to participate in the classroom or speak at public meetings.

During the winter of 1862, several months after the start of the US Civil War, an incident occurred between Lewis and two Oberlin classmates, Maria Miles and Christina Ennes. The three women, all boarding in Keep's home, planned to go sleigh riding with some young men later that day. Before the sleighing, Lewis served her friends a drink of spiced wine. Shortly after, Miles and Ennes fell severely ill. Doctors examined them and concluded that the two women had some sort of poison in their system, supposedly cantharides, a reputed aphrodisiac. For a time it was not certain that they would survive. Days later, it became apparent that the two women would recover from the incident. Authorities initially took no action.

News of the controversial incident spread rapidly throughout Ohio and was universally known in the town of Oberlin, where the general population was not as progressive as that of the college. While Lewis was walking home alone one night she was dragged into an open field by unknown assailants, badly beaten, and left for dead. After the attack, local authorities arrested Lewis, charging her with poisoning her friends. John Mercer Langston, an Oberlin College alumnus and the first African-American lawyer in Ohio, represented Lewis during her trial. Although most witnesses spoke against her and she did not testify, Chapman moved successfully to have the charges dismissed: the contents of the victims' stomachs had not been analyzed and there was, therefore, no evidence of poisoning, no corpus delicti.

The remainder of Lewis' time at Oberlin was marked by isolation and prejudice. About a year after the poisoning trial, Lewis was accused of stealing artists' materials from the college. She was acquitted due to lack of evidence. Only a few months later she was charged with aiding and abetting a burglary. At this point she had left. Another report says that she was forbidden from registering for her last term, leaving her unable to graduate.

Oberlin College awarded her a degree posthumously in 2022.

Boston
After college, Lewis moved to Boston in early 1864, where she began to pursue her career as a sculptor. She repeatedly told a story about encountering in Boston a statue of Benjamin Franklin, not knowing what it was or what to call it, but concluding she could make a "stone man" herself.

The Keeps wrote a letter of introduction on Lewis' behalf to abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison in Boston, as did Henry Highland Garnet. He introduced her to already established sculptors in the area, as well as writers who publicized Lewis in the abolitionist press. Finding an instructor, however, was not easy for her. Three male sculptors refused to instruct her before she was introduced to the moderately successful sculptor, Edward Augustus Brackett (1818–1908), who specialized in marble portrait busts. His clients were some of the most important abolitionists of the day, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, and John Brown.

To instruct her, he lent her fragments of sculptures to copy in clay, which he critiqued. Under his tutelage, she crafted her own sculpting tools and sold her first piece, a sculpture of a woman's hand, for $8. Anne Whitney, a fellow sculptor and friend of Lewis', wrote in an 1864 letter to her sister that Lewis's relationship with her instructor did not end amicably, but did not disclose the reason. Lewis opened her studio to the public with her first solo exhibition in 1864.

Lewis was inspired by the lives of abolitionists and Civil War heroes. Her subjects in 1863 and 1864 included some of the most famous abolitionists of her day: John Brown and Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. When she met Union Colonel Shaw, the commander of an African-American Civil War regiment from Massachusetts, she was inspired to create a bust of his likeness. It impressed the Shaw family, which purchased it. Lewis then made plaster-cast reproductions of the bust and sold one hundred of these copies at 15 dollars apiece. It was her most famous work to date and the money she earned from the busts allowed her to move to Rome. Anna Quincy Waterston, a poet, then wrote a poem about Lewis and Shaw.

From 1864 to 1871, Lewis was written about or interviewed by Lydia Maria Child, Elizabeth Peabody, Anna Quincy Waterston, and Laura Curtis Bullard, all important women in Boston and New York abolitionist circles. Because of these women, articles about Lewis appeared in many important abolitionist journals, including Broken Fetter, the Christian Register, and the Independent. Lewis was aware of her reception in Boston. She was not opposed to the coverage she received in the abolitionist press, and she was not known to turn down financial assistance, but she could not tolerate false praise. She knew that some did not really appreciate her art, but saw her as an opportunity to demonstrate their support for human rights.

Early works that proved highly popular included medallion portraits of the abolitionists John Brown, described as "her hero", and Wm. Lloyd Garrison. Lewis also drew inspiration from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and his work, particularly his epic poem The Song of Hiawatha. She made several busts of its leading characters, for whom he had drawn on Ojibwe legend.

Rome
"I was practically driven to Rome in order to obtain the opportunities for art culture, and to find a social atmosphere where I was not constantly reminded of my color. The land of liberty had no room for a colored sculptor." The success and popularity of the works she created in Boston (particularly the reproductions of her bust of Shaw) allowed Lewis to bear the cost of a trip to Rome in 1866. On her 1865 passport is written, "M. Edmonia Lewis is a Black girl sent by subscription to Italy having displayed great talents as a sculptor". The established sculptor Hiram Powers gave her space to work in his studio. She entered a circle of expatriate artists and established her own space within the former studio of 18th-century Italian sculptor Antonio Canova, just off the Piazza Barberini. She received professional support from both Charlotte Cushman, a Boston actress and a pivotal figure for expatriate sculptors in Rome, and Maria Weston Chapman, a dedicated worker for the anti-slavery cause.

Lewis spent most of her adult career in Rome, where Italy's less pronounced racism allowed increased opportunity to a black artist. There Lewis enjoyed more social, spiritual, and artistic freedom than she had had in the United States. She was Catholic and Rome allowed her both spiritual and physical closeness to her faith. In America, Lewis would have had to continue relying on abolitionist patronage; but Italy allowed her to make her own in the international art world. She began sculpting in marble, working within the neoclassical manner, but focusing on naturalism within themes and images relating to black and American Indian people. The surroundings of the classical world greatly inspired her and influenced her work, in which she recreated the classical art style—such as presenting people in her sculptures as draped in robes rather than in contemporary clothing. "She wears a red cap in her studio, which is very picturesque and effective; her face is a bright, intelligent, and expressive one. Her manners are child-like, simple and most winning and pleasing.... There is something in human nature...which makes everyone admire a brave and heroic spirit; and if people are not always ready to lend a helping hand to struggling genius, they are all eager to applaud when those struggles are crowned with success. The hour of applause has come to Edmonia Lewis." Lewis was unique in the way she approached sculpting abroad. She insisted on enlarging her clay and wax models in marble herself, rather than hire native Italian sculptors to do it for her – the common practice at the time. Male sculptors were largely skeptical of the talent of female sculptors, and often accused them of not doing their own work. Harriet Hosmer, a fellow sculptor and expatriate, also did this. Lewis also was known to make sculptures before receiving commissions for them, or sent unsolicited works to Boston patrons requesting that they raise funds for materials and shipping.

While in Rome, Lewis continued to express her African-American and Native American heritage. One of her more famous works, "Forever Free", depicted a powerful image of an African-American man and woman emerging from the bonds of slavery. Another sculpture Lewis created was called "The Arrow Maker", which showed a Native American father teaching his daughter how to make an arrow.

Her work sold for large sums of money. In 1873 an article in the New Orleans Picayune stated: "Edmonia Lewis had snared two 50,000-dollar commissions." Her new-found popularity made her studio a tourist destination. Lewis had many major exhibitions during her rise to fame, including one in Chicago, Illinois, in 1870, and in Rome in 1871.

In 1872, Edmonia was summoned to Peterboro, New York, to sculpt wealthy abolitionist Gerrit Smith, a project conceived by his friends. Smith was not pleased and what Lewis completed was a sculpture of the clasped hands of Gerrit and his beloved wife Ann.

The Death of Cleopatra
A major coup in her career was participating in the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. For this, she created a monumental 3,015-pound marble sculpture, The Death of Cleopatra, portraying the queen in the throes of death, which was her largest and most significant sculpture. This piece depicts the moment popularized by Shakespeare in Antony and Cleopatra, in which Cleopatra had allowed herself to be bitten by a poisonous asp following the loss of her crown. Of the piece, J. S. Ingraham wrote that Cleopatra was "the most remarkable piece of sculpture in the American section" of the Exposition. Much of the viewing public was shocked by Lewis's frank portrayal of death, but the statue drew thousands of viewers nonetheless. Cleopatra was considered a woman of both sensuous beauty and demonic power, and her self-annihilation has been repeatedly portrayed in art, literature and cinema. In Death of Cleopatra, Edmonia Lewis added an innovative flair by portraying the Egyptian queen in a disheveled, inelegant manner, a departure from the refined, composed Victorian approach to representing death. Considering Lewis's interest in emancipation imagery as seen in her work Forever Free, it is not surprising that Lewis eliminated Cleopatra's usual companion figures of loyal slaves from her work. Lewis's The Death of Cleopatra may have been a response to the culture of the Centennial Exposition, which celebrated one hundred years of the United States being built around the principles of liberty and freedom, a celebration of unity despite centuries of slavery, the recent Civil War, and the failing attempts and efforts of Reconstruction. To avoid any acknowledgment of black empowerment by the Centennial, Lewis's sculpture could not have directly addressed the subject of Emancipation. Although her white contemporaries were also sculpting Cleopatra and other comparable subject matter (such as Harriet Hosmer's Zenobia), Lewis was more prone to scrutiny on the premise of race and gender since she, like Cleopatra, was female:

"The associations between Cleopatra and a black Africa were so profound that...any depiction of the ancient Egyptian queen had to contend with the issue of her race and the potential expectation of her blackness. Lewis' white queen gained the aura of historical accuracy through primary research without sacrificing its symbolic links to abolitionism, black Africa, or the black diaspora. But what it refused to facilitate was the racial objectification of the artist's body. Lewis could not so readily become the subject of her representation if her subject was corporeally white."

After being placed in storage, the statue was moved to the 1878 Chicago Interstate Exposition, where it remained unsold. Then the sculpture was acquired by a gambler by the name of "Blind John" Condon, who purchased it from a saloon on Clark Street to mark the grave of a racehorse named "Cleopatra". The grave was in front of the grandstand of his Harlem race track in the Chicago suburb of Forest Park, where the sculpture remained for nearly a century until the land was bought by the U.S. Postal Service and the sculpture was moved to a construction storage yard in Cicero, Illinois. While at the storage yard, The Death of Cleopatra sustained extensive damage at the hands of well-meaning Boy Scouts who painted and caused other damage to the sculpture. Dr. James Orland, a dentist in Forest Park and a member of the Forest Park Historical Society, acquired the sculpture and held it in private storage at the Forest Park Mall.

Later, Marilyn Richardson, an assistant professor in the erstwhile The Writing Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and later curator and scholar of African-American art, went searching for The Death of Cleopatra for her biography of Lewis. Richardson was directed to the Forest Park Historical Society and Dr. Orland by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who had earlier been contacted by the historical society regarding the sculpture. Richardson, after confirming the sculpture's location, contacted African-American bibliographer Dorothy Porter Wesley, and the two gained the attention of NMAA's George Gurney. According to Gurney, Curator Emeritus at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the sculpture was in a race track in Forest Park, Illinois, during World War II. Finally, the sculpture came under the purview of the Forest Park Historical Society, which donated it to Smithsonian American Art Museum in 1994. Chicago-based Andrezej Dajnowski, in conjunction with the Smithsonian, spent $30,000 to restore it to its near-original state. The repairs were extensive, including the nose, sandals, hands, chin, and extensive "sugaring" (disintegration.)

Later career
A testament to Lewis's renown as an artist came in 1877, when former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant commissioned her to do his portrait. He sat for her as a model and was pleased with her finished piece. She also contributed a bust of Massachusetts abolitionist senator Charles Sumner to the 1895 Atlanta Exposition.

In the late 1880s, neoclassicism declined in popularity, as did the popularity of Lewis's artwork. She continued sculpting in marble, increasingly creating altarpieces and other works for Catholic patrons. A bust of Christ, created in her Rome studio in 1870, was rediscovered in Scotland in 2015. In the art world, she became eclipsed by history, and lost fame. By 1901 she had moved to London.

The events of her later years are not known.

Death
From 1896 to 1901 Lewis lived in Paris. She then relocated to the Hammersmith area of London, England, before her death on September 17, 1907, in the Hammersmith Borough Infirmary. According to her death certificate, the cause of her death was chronic kidney failure (Bright's disease). She is buried in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, in London.

There were earlier theories that Lewis died in Rome in 1907 or, alternatively, that she had died in Marin County, California, and was buried in an unmarked grave in San Francisco. In 2017, a GoFundMe by East Greenbush, New York, town historian Bobbie Reno was successful, and Edmonia Lewis's grave was restored. The work was done by the E M Lander Co. in London.

Reception
As a black artist, Edmonia Lewis had to be conscious of her stylistic choices, as her largely white audience often gravely misread her work as self-portraiture. In order to avoid this, her female figures typically possess European features. Lewis had to balance her own personal identity with her artistic, social, and national identity, a tiring activity that affected her art.

In her 2007 work, Charmaine Nelson wrote of Lewis:

"It is hard to overstate the visual incongruity of the black-Native female body, let alone that identity in a sculptor, within the Roman colony. As the first black-Native sculptor of either sex to achieve international recognition within a western sculptural tradition, Lewis was a symbolic and social anomaly within a dominantly white bourgeois and aristocratic community."

Personal life
Lewis never married and had no known children. According to her biographer, Dr. Marilyn Richardson, there is no definite information about her romantic involvement with anyone. However, in 1873 her engagement was announced, and in 1875, her fiancé's skin color was revealed to be the same as hers, although his name is not given. There is no further reference to this engagement.

Her half-brother Samuel became a barber in San Francisco, eventually moving to mining camps in Idaho and Montana. In 1868, he settled in the city of Bozeman, Montana, where he set up a barber shop on Main Street. He prospered, eventually investing in commercial real estate, and subsequently built his own home which still stands at 308 South Bozeman Avenue. In 1999 the Samuel Lewis House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1884, he married Mrs. Melissa Railey Bruce, a widow with six children. The couple had one son, Samuel E. Lewis (1886–1914), who married but died childless. The elder Lewis died after "a short illness" in 1896 and is buried in Sunset Hills Cemetery in Bozeman. The mayor of Bozeman was a pallbearer.

Old Arrow-Maker and his Daughter (1866)
This sculpture was inspired by Lewis's Native American heritage. An arrow-maker and his daughter sit on a round base, dressed in traditional Native American clothes. The male figure has recognizable Native American facial features, but not the daughter. As white audiences misread her work as self-portraiture, she often removed all facial features associated with "colored" races in female portrayal. This statue later came to be known as The Wooing of Hiawatha, since it appears to depict a scene from Longfellow's epic poem where Minnehaha and her father are approached by Hiawatha. This interesting perspective of the scene (not of a third-person view of everyone, but rather a first-person view from Hiawatha's perspective) is particularly notable because it seems to come from Lewis's first-person insight into the character of a Native American and thus invites viewers to share this perspective.

Forever Free (1867)
Forever Free is a sculpture by the American artist Edmonia Lewis. Created in 1867, it commemorates the abolition of slavery in the United States two years earlier and takes its title from President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. The white marble sculpture shows a man standing, staring up, and raising his left arm into the air. Wrapped around his left wrist is a chain; however, this chain is not restraining him. To his right is a woman kneeling with her hands held in a position of prayer, the man's right hand gently placed on her right shoulder. The work differs from many other depictions of abolition from the period by showing the Black man standing and unshackled rather than bound or kneeling.

Scholars have frequently puzzled over Lewis's decision to Europeanize the features of the female figure. At least one scholar has suggested that the choice may have been an acknowledgment of the varied appearance and heritage of African Americans such as Lewis herself, who was of both African and Native American descent.

This piece is held by Howard University Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

Hagar (1875)
Lewis had a tendency to sculpt historically strong women, as demonstrated not just in Hagar but also in Lewis's Cleopatra piece. Lewis also depicted ordinary women in extreme situations, emphasizing their strength. Hagar is inspired by a character from the Old Testament, the handmaid or slave of Abraham's wife Sarah. Being unable to conceive a child, Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham, in order to bear him a son. Hagar gave birth to Abraham's firstborn son Ishmael, and after Sarah gave birth to her own son Isaac, she resented Hagar and made Abraham "cast her into the wilderness". The piece was made of white marble, and Hagar is standing as if about to walk on, with her hands clasped in prayer and staring slightly up but not straight across. Lewis uses Hagar to symbolize the African mother in the United States, and the frequent sexual abuse of African women by white men.

Is there anyway to program this template to eliminate the external link symbol (featuring an arrow coming out of a little box) that follows it? It can cause display problems when the template is used in the body of article text (such as a paragraph) or in an infobox. — Eoghanacht  talk 15:23, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Minutes and seconds symbols
I might be incredible old-fashioned, silly or just wrong, but I prefer to use the following symbols for degrees, minutes and seconds:

degrees: &deg; or &#176; and not &#186;

minutes: apostrophe or &#39; and not &#180;, &#x2032; or &#prime;

seconds: &quot; or &#34; and not &#147;, &#x2033; or &#Prime;

For testing purposes copy and paste to e.g. Google Earth and look at the difference.

Is it possible to implement this in the template for future use.

Gemsbok2 13:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC-1)

The correct HTML entity to use for minutes is &prime; or &#x2032;

The correct HTML entity to use for seconds is &Prime; or &#x2033;

•DanMS 01:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

You are right, but the above symbols seem to create space immediately to their right, which leaves a rather annoying kind of asymmetry. The 180 and 147 symbols did not do this. Do you know how to prevent 2032 and 2033 from doing this, or perhaps most people not care about the asymmetry? Viewfinder 03:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Gemsbok2 and DanMS: you have my sympathies, because I suffer from both of the same problems you do, but:

 * 2) The annoying asymmetry is a browser-specific problem.  (I see it too, in Firefox 1.5 under OS X 10.4.)  Again, not a reason for Wikipedia not to use the correct characters.

spacing
Is there any reason for the spacing between minutes and seconds of arc to be so big?

Spiff 21:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

 * The spacing between the minutes and seconds looks very strange, and it is making the mountain infobox look ugly.

 * Can we please set it back to the way it used to be? hike395 23:14, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Looks fine over here. There is no space between the seconds and the minutes, only a prime mark. Could you attach a screenshot? —Ruud 00:42, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * In my browser -- and I'm sure I'm not alone -- the minute and second marks are (wrongly) displayed in a double-wide cell, giving the appearance of an extra space. This is a browser issue or an OS font issue, not a mediawiki issue.  Here are three examples:
 * |12°34'56"| (ASCII single and double quote)
 * |12°34’56”| (Unicode "typographical" single and double quote)
 * |12°34′56″| (Unicode single and double prime, aka minute and second marks)
 * In my browser, I see extra spacing in the third form; it looks like
 * |12°34' 56"  |
 * And, of course, it's those single and double prime symbols that this template is (correctly) using.
 * Are you using Firefox on a Mac, Spiff? That's what I'm using.
 * Unfortunately, we need to live with this until the fonts are fixed; the coor templates are fine and shouldn't be changed.

Please can Coor dm be edited to match Coor dms?
At present Coor dm is using the symbol 2032 for the minutes apostrophe, and it doesn't even display in Firefox under Windows. I would like it changed. So °′ °′ would become °′ °′, as is already the case in Coor dms.

Template appearing on its own line

Line breaking
Further to the section above about the co-ordinates breaking over two lines, can someone get around to implementing this? At the moment, the co-ordinates often break at inconvenient points when breaking over two lines, making it look very strange. Obviously this depends on individual screen resolutions and settings, but an example is Caroline Island where, for me, the break appears like this:

 * 9°56′13.13″S
 * , 150°12′41.40″W

This just looks weird. Inserting non-breaking spaces at the right points should solve this. Carcharoth 11:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I guess you are using Internet Explorer as it works fine in Firefox. I move the comma inside the no-breaking tags, does this fix the problem? Using a non-breaking space will prevent breaking the line entirely, which I don't believe is a wanted side-effect. —Ruud 00:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Template not working
This template hasn't been working for a couple of days. Clicking a coordinates link produces an error page. Alan Pascoe 21:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * The move to use Google Maps is temporary, I hope? I really liked being able to choose the map source (I used Topozone all of the time) hike395 04:24, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Strong objection to making this point at Google maps
Can anybody tell me why this template has all of a sudden been changed to point at Google's rather poor resolution streetmap site. The previous target allowed the selection of mapping appropriate to the target and required usage (for example to select a decent topographic map, or even to start up Google Earth), and was much preferrable to this approach. All the change history says is changing to google maps, problem with previous link. There is nothing there or here to detail the problems, or any other reasons for this massively retrograde step. Can somebody please explain, and give some kind of a timetable for reinstatement. Failing that, could someone with admin privilege please revert the change. -- Chris j wood 19:51, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry for not making the reason for change clearer. The old link (where you could choose your map source) is broken (hopefully temporarily, as was producing this message when accessed:

Warning: main(../../wiki/includes/Defines.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/egil/public_html/extensions/mapsources/index.php on line 40 Fatal error: main [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../wiki/includes/Defines.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/egil/public_html/extensions/mapsources/index.php on line 40
 * to counter this temporarily I changed the link to Google Maps. When the link is working again (try this basic link with no parameters: http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources/index.php?params=), contact me or place editprotected on this page and it can be reverted. — Mets 501  (talk) 20:02, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree that this is a retrograde step, although it seems that kvaleberg.com is broken. Can we emulate the kvaleberg.com functionality somehow within Wikipedia? hike395 08:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Magnus set up a replacement. I updated the template to use the source defined in Template:Coor URL. -- User:Docu
 * so ugly, I prefer to link to google maps immediately. 82.210.118.209 16:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that the new pages are ugly. But changing back would be to put presentation before functionality; Google's maps (more street plans than proper maps) are simply not appropriate for many uses. What would be really great would be to incorporate the functionality previously provided by kvaleberg and now by magnus into WP itself; then we could fix the the presentation issues ourselves. -- Chris j wood 18:44, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Moved documentation
Hi, I've moved the documentation from this Talk page to the the subpages (e.g.,Template:Coor d/doc), as recommended in Template doc page pattern. Also, there are multiple templates that link to this talk page, so please edit the following templates:
 * Template:Coor d:

[____ ° ° ]

 * Template:Coor dm:

[______ °′ °′]

 * Template:Coor dms:

[________ °′″, °′″ ]

Hybrit, Satelite vs Map
Hi. Is there any way of telling the link to select a hybrit instead of map on google? I'm putting some links to tunisia, and the maps there aren't that great. So I would like to have it hybrit by default. Is that possible?--81.215.93.23 23:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Space between degrees and minutes
Could someone please fix (remove) the space between degrees and minutes which has gotten here with the last (2007-03-08T09:59:20) edit by Quarl? Thanks. – Caroig 20:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thanks! —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-08 21:47Z
 * Thanks! – Caroig 21:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Geo microformat
It would be good if the WSG84 longitude and latitude co-ordinates in Template:Coor d could be presented using the Geo microformat in the mark-up. All that is required is for (using Coleshill, Warwickshire as an example) the HTML output:

 52.499Â° N -1.708Â° E

to become:

 52.499 Â° N -1.708 Â° E

with the addition of two spans and three classes. (Use of "Geo" on DM & DMS templates would require the replacement of the two inner spans with abbr elements, using the decimal values as the title attributes; I gather MediaWiki curently strips abbr elements?) Please let me know if you need further information. Andy Mabbett 09:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The would be nice, but longitudes and latitudes in this template are written in DMS notation, not in the decimal notation you seem to be needing for the geo microformat. —Ruud 23:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I specifically referred to Coor d, which, AIUI, uses degrees in decimal format. Is that not so? Andy Mabbett 23:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I will try to do it, I think the DMS/decimal difference can be worked out using ParserFunctions. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-18 03:31Z

 * Take a look at coor/new. It would replace coor, coor d, coor dm, coor dms, and also emits geo microformat tags.  MediaWiki doesn't support <abbr> tags so I put them inside display:none spans for now. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-18 07:13Z

 * Does it fallback correctly on non-CSS browsers (e.g. something like 10°23′31″ N 20°41′32″ W (10.391944, -20.692222) instead of 10.391944-20.69222210°23′31″ N 20°41′32″ W) and are all those meta-templates really needed (otherwise a fine piece of work, though.) —Ruud 14:05, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you! "diplay:none" seems a sensible, and effective, work around (especially as the DMS version is visible to the user). I would suggest that you give examples with named land-based locations (so that people can see the results in practice), and use a different one in each case, and give examples above and below the equator, and east and west of the GM. The CSS-free issue also needs attention; but should be easily solvable, and I'm really grateful for your prompt response. As an aside, does anyone know haw many times these templates are used, directly or indirectly? How soon might this new version be implemented? Andy Mabbett 23:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I've fixed the non-CSS fallback issue. It'll need some wider input before actually replacing those other templates, since some people will object to the number of nested templates, though it'd be incredibly ugly to do it without them... —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-21 05:34Z

 * Thank you, that (without CSS) looks much better - perhaps a space, before the opening bracket, is needed? Would you expect such feedback here, or should I be watching elsewhere? Andy Mabbett 15:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Done. Feedback here is fine, better to keep discussion in a single thread :) —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-22 06:12Z

 * OK. The spacings better, thanks. I've changed your examples, as above, and exposed the markup using "nowiki". Hope that's OK. I think the fact that this allows entry and use of precise decimal values, while displaying more user-friendly DMS values is an added bonus. Andy Mabbett 10:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Excellent. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-25 01:45Z

 * There being no dissent, can we roll this out, now? Andy Mabbett 01:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I have posted at WP:VPR for wider discussion, in case some people aren't watching this page. Let's give people a few days to object just to be safe. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-25 02:15Z

 * That's fair. Thank you. Andy Mabbett 08:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

To the wider community, please post new comments below. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-25 02:15Z

Icon
Should anyone wish to use a small icon for the Geo microformat, to alert people to its presence in infobox templates which use the above, there's one, freely available, at Image:Geo-microformat-button.png. It looks like this: and may be linked to Geo (microformat). Andy Mabbett 10:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think it would be a good idea to use this in article space. —Ruud 11:33, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Why not? Andy Mabbett 12:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I could come up with a few arguments, the most important one being that it is not encyclopaedic content (even those featured article stars and links to portals, both more relevant than this geo icon, were quite controversial.) Others would be that some people might consider it to be spam, it would open up the door for loads and loads of other icons cluttering the article pages, there being other less intrusive ways to promote microformats, ... —Ruud 19:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * It's as encyclopaedic as "what links here" et al; it can hardly be spam if it links to an other article on Wikipedia or WikiBooks/ Wiktionary and less so than "powered by MediaWiki"; and it wouldn't be "promoting microformats", it would be promoting microformats on Wikipedia (and could link to a specific page for that purpose, instead of the generic article, if desired) - as a feature that WP provides which rivals do not. That said, an alternative might be to place it after, and inline with, text like "Coordinates: 52.530° N 1.928° W" in the top-right hand corner of pages such as Hamstead railway station; it's no more spam than the preceding "Coordinates" link. Andy Mabbett 20:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You haven't argued what value the icon adds for a reader. Further more, I do not find the comparisons you make valid: the "what links here" link and friends and the "powered by MediaWiki" logo are not part of the article but of the interface; the "coordinates" label is a description of a piece of encyclopaedic content which might just as well be linked to an article which describes how to interpret that content, the geo icon does not describe encyclopaedic content but is meant to attract attention to some invisible feature. —Ruud 22:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You haven't argued what value the icon adds for a reader - it informs the reader that there is a Geo microformat on the page, and invites them to find out what a microformat is, what they can do with them and where to obtain tools which will enable them to make better use of them. As such, it is directly analogous with the "coordinates" label - it is' a description of a piece of encyclopaedic content which might just as well be linked to an article which describes how to interpret that content. Andy Mabbett 22:57, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I think the right place to have a link showing Wikipedia's support for the geo microformat would be on the geohack page. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-27 11:13Z

 * Indeed, but this isn't about "showing support", it's about advising users of a new feature. Andy Mabbett 11:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Which shouldn't be done in article space. I will construct an argument on why it is not directly equivalent to the coordinates label at a later time. —Ruud 17:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Is there any way to shorten the link?
I'm getting complaints about the use of this on Ridge Route: see Peer review/Ridge Route/archive1. Is there a way to shorten the link, possibly make it read "maps"? --NE2 22:57, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * How about Swede's Cut, but with the external link icon having been replaced with a globe? —Ruud 23:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * That doesn't work, since it won't change if the "geohack" page moves. --NE2 23:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I actually meant that a template could be modified/created to achieve this effect. —Ruud 23:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Ah, yes. That would be useful. How about adding a "name" or "title" parameter to this? --NE2 23:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

34.617°N, -118.7008°W (you might need to clear your browser's cache to see the globe.) —Ruud 00:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks very much. --NE2 00:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Coor family replaced by coord

 * replaces old coor templates and adds Geo microformat.

Since no one has objected to the proposed coor/new, I have renamed it to Coord and redirected each of Coor d, Coor dm, Coor dms to Coord. I won't be surprised if unforeseen issues come up; feel free to revert if necessary. —Quarl (talk) 2007-04-02 11:30Z

BTW I haven't yet done the analogous Coord title, which should be quite easy given the refactoring done to create Coord. —Quarl (talk) 2007-04-02 11:34Z

 * Thank you. [SFX: cheers, tickertape, marching band]. Andy Mabbett 12:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Cadillac BLS

The Cadillac BLS is a compact executive car that was marketed in Europe by Cadillac, sharing General Motors' Epsilon architecture, as a restyled variant of the Saab 9-3. Development was carried out by Saab and the car was manufactured in Trollhättan, Sweden, alongside the Saab 9-3 and the Saab 9-5. Sales of the saloon began in March 2006, with an estate joining the line for 2007. Starting in 2007, the BLS was sold in the Middle East, Mexico, South Africa and South Korea.

BLS production reached 3,257 in 2006 and 2,772 in 2007. Production ended in 2009. The BLS is the only Cadillac never sold in North America.

Features
The BLS was available with a diesel engine (a 1.9 L turbocharged four-cylinder) and two petrol engines (a 2.8 L turbocharged V6 and a 2.0 L available with two power levels).

At 184.3 in in overall length, the BLS was almost six inches shorter than the CTS, the smallest Cadillac that was available in the United States or Canada.

Engines:
 * 1.9 L Fiat turbodiesel I4 16v, 150 bhp (110 kW)
 * 1.9 L Fiat turbodiesel I4 16v, 180 bhp (132 kW) (2007-)
 * 2.0 L Ecotec LK9 I4, mid-pressure turbo, 175 bhp (129 kW)
 * 2.0 L Ecotec LK9 I4, high-pressure turbo, 210 bhp (154 kW)
 * 2.0 T FlexPower 200 bhp (147 kW)
 * 2.8 L HFV6 V6, turbo, 250 bhp (184 kW)

Differences from the Saab 9-3
Though a large percentage of BLS components were shared with the Saab 9-3, the BLS was differentiated from the 9-3 throughout the exterior and interior.
 * Unique exterior sheet metal and lighting elements on front and rear.
 * Different wheel options.
 * Unique upper dashboard design with an integrated analogue clock between central air vents.
 * Redesigned centre console with dual cupholders, eliminating the 9-3s flip-out cupholder.
 * Traditionally mounted ignition switch in steering column.
 * Unique instrument cluster gauge design. White background lighting instead of green.
 * Additional seat stitching.
 * Unique headrests on front seats.
 * Cadillac logo replaced Saab logo on engine covers, steering wheel and first-aid kits

Reviews

 * Auto Express 'The BLS is OK, but offers nothing new in a market overflowing with talent.'
 * Evo [+] Stylish and quiet [-] Pushes no boundaries.
 * Honest John Positives: Based on the Saab 9-3 so decent handling. Well proven mechanicals. Saab-grade safety. Negatives: The ride is far from forgiving. Automatic doesn't work well with the V6 turbo, which also has overly light steering.
 * Verdict On Cars 'Average. It's built in Europe, shares most of its underpinnings with a Saab and will never see America - meet the strangest Cadillac ever.'

Name
The BLS is known by many as the "Bob Lutz Special" - a reference to Vice Chairman Bob Lutz who oversaw all GM product development at the time. Lutz, a supporter of badge engineering, wanted to leverage the Saab 9-3 to fill holes in Cadillac's product range.

The reference to Bob Lutz can be viewed both as support and as criticism of his strategy. While the BLS was a market failure, many of the techniques of badge engineering employed in the BLS resulted in other GM product successes, most notably a significant improvement in overall passenger car product quality and performance output.

According to GM, BLS stands for "B-segment Luxury Sedan", being in a smaller class than the CTS mid-size saloon. This is consistent with the Seville Luxury Sedan, later known as the Cadillac SLS in China.
